Oh the fun I had making a mess in my kitchen last week. With my book off my plate (for now), my classes humming along, and being all rested with the sun shining, I was inspired to get baking. I am not one of those tidy cooks, as you may have guessed. Recipe creation for me is this mad mess of ingredients, tools, music and dancing. The result is this...
That is what I call a good time.
I started out with this gem of a creation that I made for my dear sweet friend/photographer Catherine, They were from a post called Cookies for Catherine.
Well in honour of a night of dinner, drinks and laughter with Catherine and a few other sweet lady friends, I baked these up. Needless to say, they were devoured after dinner, as were the few I took home for my man and the ones I left in my kitchen to photograph.
These cookies are gluten and dairy free, sweetened with the most amazing of all sweeteners, Coconut crystals, and were moistened up with coconut butter and coconut oil. Low glycemic chocolate amazingness.
I added the hintiest hints of coffee flavour to these with a couple tablespoons of Dandy Blend. I seriously can't get enough of that nectar and the rave reviews from regular consumers of it are inspiring. It is getting everyone I know off coffee. If it can transition my momma, anything is surely possible.
We love, sweet love these.
Now. Go get baked! Or... um... baking, I should say.

Set behind a glossy glass-fronted façade, the hub provides a handful of links to major US cities, including regular connections to Denver and Los Angeles. Dotted about the terminal you'll find a satisfying selection of eateries and shops, whether you want a fast food fix, a caffeine boost, or some last-minute travel essentials.Hotels in Spokane International Airport (GEG)There's no shortage of inns, motels, and hotels near Spokane Airport, all of which are situated within the city itself. Most brandish a brand name, with many of the larger properties featuring swimming pools, fitness facilities, and business centers.

Alongside the idyllic Riverfront Park, the city's downtown boasts a trove of commercial offerings, including the glistening River Park Square mall.

Alternatively, some hotels provide their own airport transfers.

Sir John Collings Squire (1884-1958), Poet and literary editor
Sitter in 12 portraits
A leading poet of the Georgian school, and an influential critic and editor. He was appointed literary editor of the New Statesman in 1913, and acting editor in 1917. From 1919 to 1934, he was the editor of the monthly periodical, the London Mercury, a publication that highlighted the work of the Georgian poets. His poetry appeared in several volumes including Collected Parodies (1921) and Poems in One Volume (1926). His book of poems The Survival of the Fittest (1916) was one of the earliest poetic protests against the First World War. Squire also collaborated with J.L. Balderston on the hit play Berkeley Square (1926), an adaptation of Henry James's The Sense of the Past.

SOUTH HOLLAND | The Village Board on Monday OK'd an agreement for Cook County to continue health-related inspections of grocery stores and restaurants within the suburb.
With little discussion, trustees voted 5-0, with Trustee N. Keith Chambers absent, in favor of renewing the agreement the village has had with Cook County for a dozen years.
Village Attorney Timothy Lapp said the county conducts the annual inspections ensuring businesses dealing with food are complying with health codes.
The county charges municipal government $60 for each inspection. The village avoids the cost of health inspectors on its payroll.
"The county actually handles the inspections for many of the smaller governments in the area," Lapp said.
Village President Don De Graff said he sees no problem with relegating the health inspections to Cook County.
"This is an annual inspection agreement that has worked well for" South Holland, De Graff said.
In other business, the Village Board voted without opposition to approve 75 building permits for assorted projects. Village Trustee Larry DeYoung said the value of those projects is about $806,000.
One of those permits is for changes that a new owner wants to make to the former Mitsubishi auto dealership at 150 W. 162nd St. It would become a West Side Tractor Sales Co. store.
Also, the Village Board gave its approval for the sale of a 1996 Ford 250 pickup truck that was the property of the Public Works Department.
Officials could not say how many miles the vehicle had on it, but said it was barely in working order. Lapp said that if no one came forward to buy the vehicle, it would be sold for scrap.

Struffoli is a Neapolitan dish made of deep fried balls of dough about the size of marbles. Crunchy on the outside and light inside, struffoli are mixed with honey and other sweet ingredients. There are many different ways to dress them, but the traditional way is to mix them in honey with diavulilli (nonpareils sprinkles), cinnamon, and bits of orange rind. In Calabria they are also known as scalilli. They are often served at Christmas and are sometimes served warm.

April 17, 2005 A Honda won the Portugeuse Grand Prix today with World Champion Valentino Rossi second, but it was the Honda of Alex Barros that greeted the chequered flag first not the expected Honda of Sete Gibernau. Gibernau crashed out in light rain while leading the race at mid distance in the first MotoGP race run under the new rain rules which do not allow for race restarts due to rain during the race. Barros' win was not entirely unexpected. He was the fastest rider in all sessions throughout the weekend, fastest qualifier and appears to have regained the form he last showed at the end of 2002 when he beat Valentino Rossi several times on equal machinery.

MotoGP Rd1: Rossi takes dramatic last gasp win
April 9, 2005
April 10, 2005 Valentino Rossi put the gloss on a perfect start to his defence of the MotoGP World Championship at the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez today, smashing the lap record by over two seconds and gaining a significant psychological edge over his main rival for the championship, taking a victory on the last corner from a seemingly impossible position. Riding a completely new smaller, lighter and faster Yamaha M1 for the first time in race conditions, Rossi spent almost the entire race stalking Gibernau who led from within a few corners of the start … 27 laps later, the race ended in one of the most controversial incidents for many years.

Skype Open-Source Update Expected Soon
Back in November there was an official announcement from Skype concerning an open-source Linux client. Details since then have been scarce on what exactly Skype plans to provide as open-source software, with some speculating just the user-interface/front-end side will be opened up. Skype though has continued in recent months of providing new Linux betas of their closed-source Linux client that still has yet to reach a feature parity with the Skype Windows client. No open-source Skype news updates have come since their original blog-style announcement.

iPhone/iPod Linux Library Hits Version 1.0
While Apple provides support for the iPod and iPhones on Mac OS X (of course) and even Windows, complete with iTunes support, they provide no such love for those wishing to use their gadgets on Linux. This has led the Linux community to reverse-engineering Apple's USB protocol for the iPod/iPhone devices, developing different hacks, and in some cases even needing to "jail break" the product in order to use it fully under Linux. There's a few different projects around that seek to implement iPhone/iPod support on Linux, but one of them that takes an entirely free software approach and does not depend upon any DRM or proprietary libraries is libimobiledevice. This week the libimobiledeviceproject is celebrating their version 1.0 release after being in development for nearly three years.

Haiku OS Hopes For New 3D Stack
Haiku OS, the nine year old project to develop an open-source BeOS-compatible operating system, is hoping it will receive a new OpenGL stack this year. The Haiku project, like X.Org, will be participating in this year's Google Summer of Code project where the search engine giant pays many student developers to work on code for various open-source projects. There's a long list of ideas for where Haiku OS could use some help, and one of them includes a hardware 3D acceleration stack.

Wow, XGI Does Something With Its Linux Driver
Remember XGI Technology? The company that was spun out of SiS and Trident back in 2003 and for a while had some interesting low-end GPU hopes along with a few graphics cards that actually made it out to the market. There really hasn't been much talk about XGI in years and ATI had bought up one of their alliance companies in 2006 that further diminished this company. Their Linux drivers were not the best back in 2005 and things really never changed for the company that had hoped to compete with ATI and NVIDIA on some level.

GIMP 2.8 Scheduled For Release Post-Christmas
For those interested in the next major update to the GIMP graphics editing application (GIMP 2.8), it now has a tentative release date. GIMP's Martin Nordholts has announced on his blog that GIMP 2.8 is scheduled for release on the 27th of December of this year. Among many improvements, GIMP 2.8 will offer a single-window mode that is sure to excite many users as it's been a long-standing complaint by many for this free software graphics program. One of the fundamental changes for GIMP 2.8 is that it will now be licensed under the GNU GPLv3+ license and more of the code is being ported over to use GEGL. Additional details can be found in Development Work Towards GIMP 2.8 Solidifies.

NVClock's Thunderbird To Launch New Project
Roderick Colenbrander, or better known by his Internet name of Thunderbird (not to be confused with the Mozilla mail client), will soon be announcing a new software project that is supposed to be rather interesting, according to him. Roderick is known for starting the NVClock project years prior to the existence of CoolBits support for Linux to enable NVIDIA graphics card overclocking (and other tweaking) with Linux. Roderick has also been involved with the Nouveau project for a brief while and also with Wine to improve its graphics support. He has also been a contributor to our forums.

DeviceKit-disks Renames Itself To UDisks
As Alan Coopersmith pointed out after mentioning the X.Org plans to move away from HAL, the DeviceKit-disks project has renamed itself. DeviceKit-disks is now to be known as udisks. Coming next week, the DeviceKit-power project is also going to rename itself to upower. The dropping of the DeviceKit name is being done to reflect that no daemon is being used in the current implementation but that its reliant upon libudev and libgudev.

Jolicloud "Robby" Beta To Ship WIth Linux 2.6.32
In early September we featured an article on Jolicloud Linux, which sought to provide innovations atop Ubuntu Netbook Remix by enriching the experience for cloud computing and through their Jolicloud service to have easy access to various web-based applications. At that time we were seeded with an early alpha build of Jolicloud, but this morning (just a day after we published the first Chrome OS benchmarks), their CEO has provided us with a pre-beta copy of Jolicloud (codenamed "Robby").

In the creation/evolution controversy and battle over biblical authority, much of the dispute may become clearer if writers would carefully provide readers with precise definitions of terminology. These definitions may help clear up confusion.
Why is it that evolutionists are unwilling to allow for competing models, i.e., creation or even intelligent design? The hypothesis of evolution changes every year; if one theory is said to be fact, but then a year later is shown to be wrong, then how can it be fact in the first place? A true fact is something that never changes.
Can science and religion get along? Some secular scientists do seem to be making an effort to reach out; the problem is that they are only reaching out to religious individuals who won't let their faith "get in the way" of science.
Russell Garwood in his article "Reach out to defend evolution," complains that creationists present "perceived gaps in scientific knowledge as evidence in support of theistic world views." Taking a biblical stand does not undermine science; it illuminates science, just like reliable eyewitness testimony enables a detective to correctly interpret the circumstantial evidence at the scene of a crime.
CreationSundays.com was established in 2011 to encourage churches to speak out and affirm the authority of God's Word beginning in Genesis.
The debate with Bill Nye really illustrated the clash of two worldviews—choosing to decide truth for ourselves instead of trusting God's Word.
Within the first three minutes of the Ken Ham vs. Bill Nye debate, it was obvious how radically the creation-evolution debate has changed since the 1970s and 1980s.
Bill Nye maintains that any critical evaluation of evolution is tantamount to "fighting against science."
Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey host wonders why Answers in Genesis critiqued his series and why anyone cares.
It seems they cannot stand the fact that we would even dare to question and expose their bias-filled conclusions for what they are.
Not only do Bill Nye and Ken Ham hold totally different positions on origins, they also have different accounts of the history surrounding the recent debate at the Creation Museum.
On February 4, more than seven million people tuned in online to watch Ken Ham debate Bill Nye on whether creation is a viable model of origins in the modern era.
From a human perspective, we could have never imagined the level of interest the debate with Bill Nye would draw from around the world.
In a radio interview prior to the Ham-Nye debate, Dr. Terry Mortenson engaged the question "Is teaching creation to children harmful to them and to our society?"
In the debate, Bill Nye did not talk much about astronomy. But when he did, he made several erroneous statements.
Ken Ham considers the heavy responsibility of representing Christianity to both the Christian and secular world who would be watching the debate with Bill Nye.
ABC News covered the debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham with segments in two of their major news programs.
The debate between Ken Ham and Bill Nye "the Science Guy" on February 4 has evoked some strong and incredibly mixed reactions from the media, atheist bloggers, and Christians.
In what some observers have dubbed "Scopes II," Nye and Ham sparred in a cordial yet spirited debate in front of a live audience that braved a winter storm.
Few events in the history of the creation/evolution issue have garnered as much attention from the public as Ken Ham's debate last night with Bill Nye.
Two men who love science debate the question, "Is creation a viable model of origins in today's modern scientific era?"
Bill Nye "The Science Guy" and Ken Ham prepare their cases in what has been dubbed "Scopes 2."
This very title promotes a misconception that the debate should clarify for many.
Debates between spokespersons who come from different perspectives can help develop critical thinking in students.
Scientific facts work beautifully in a Christian worldview.
Critics have put forward creative but erroneous conjectures about the upcoming debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham.
Why are some atheists throwing a tantrum about the upcoming debate between Ken Ham and Bill Nye?
Why not arrange to have this debate shown in your college—Christian or secular—and make it an outreach to the student body, faculty, and the community?
We are pleased to announce that the upcoming debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham will be available to view online—free of charge.
It's remarkable to what lengths some secularists will go in order to create bizarre conspiracies out of nothing!
Tickets sold out within minutes for the debate between TV's personality Bill Nye "the Science Guy" and Answers in Genesis president Ken Ham, to be held at the Creation Museum.
On February 4, 2014, TV's famed "Bill Nye the Science Guy" will debate Creation Museum founder and president Ken Ham on the topic of evolution, creation, science, and origins.
Over the past 30 years of Ken Ham's personal experience in the biblical creation ministry, he has observed "evolving" (in the sense of "changing") tactics used by prominent secularists.
It is often claimed that it takes more faith to believe in evolution than creation.
An evolutionary paleontologist wrote an article for Nature condemning the way creationists present the work of evolutionists, and he called for a more aggressive defense of evolution.
Over the past 30 years, I have observed evolving tactics used by secularists to respond to arguments from creationist scholars and researchers.
A panel at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science tackled the often rocky relationship between science and religion.
"My generation of evangelicals is . . . ready to be done with the whole evolution-creation debate. We are ready to move on." Those are among the bold claims from a young evangelical who now "embrace[s] evolution."
We are engaged in a war of worldviews. Secular humanism is fighting tooth and nail against biblical Christianity for the hearts and minds of our children.
A reader tells us that he has left "creationist principles" behind because of "mainstream science," but as Roger Patterson, AiG–U.S., points out, the Bible is what was ultimately left behind.
A poll in Britain reveals widespread doubt over Darwinism—or does it?
As much as evolutionists wish otherwise, life doesn't evolve around Darwin—or at all.
Much has been made in the past several months of the former U.S. presidential and vice-presidential candidates' views on origins. Now the current president weighs in.
Biblical truth should not be just a starting point—our whole philosophy and worldview should be submitted to the acid test of biblical authority. That includes our interpretation of scientific data.
U.S. vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin has made a comment or two that earn her the title of "worrisome character" from evolutionists. So is she really a creationist?
Though we doubt the idea will go anywhere, one evolutionist has come up with a new way to counter AiG's Creation Museum: building an Evolution Museum right across the street!
In the creation/evolution controversy, much of the dispute would become clearer if writers would carefully provide readers/listeners with precise definitions of terminology.
That is what several scientists and a religious historian seemed to be asking and answering at a forum I attended last Wednesday at COSI entitled, "Intersection of Faith & Evolution: A Civil Dialogue"
From Lorenzago di Cadore, Italy, comes a pronouncement by Pope Benedict XVI that the creation/evolution debate is an "absurdity."
A research poll conducted in June—with its results released earlier this month—revealed 60% of Canadians believed God had a direct or indirect role in the creation of mankind.
This traveling "science" exhibit is designed to indoctrinate young children across America in a morally bankrupt faith-based belief system: the evolution of man from non-living matter!
Answers in Genesis' latest book to expose the serious scientific problems of the theory of evolution has sold an amazing 23,000 copies within just three weeks of release.
Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Championships Matter.
24 Years and Counting...
Lay down on Saturday UC. C'mon, take one for the team! We can't have WV representing the Big East in the Orange Bowl!
Feels good to be the hated ones again, when people boo and hate you, you know you're the man!
And ta be tha man, ya gotta beat tha man, Cincy failed to do so!
None of the three really beat the man, since they're all 1-1 against each other. Unless of course UC loses. Then Louisville will be the man, because they'll have beaten the man.
I think he said the same thing after WVU sued to get out of the conference:
College Football - West Virginia Moving On - YouTube
It's fine if WV wants to leave the Big East but why can't they do it w/i the rules? Why do lawsuits have to be part of the process?
The South Florida coching was atrocious. They couldn't seem to figure out how many men to send in on defense and why call a play, like on that last big pass play from WV 0:13s left, where you only rush two men? What D coordinator even has that in his playbook?
The probable worst team in the SEC, Tennessee (wow how much do I enjoy saying that), beat UC by over 20 points... AND, IMO, along with WV, UC is probably most deserving of representing the Big Easy in their BCS Bowl.
By the time we get out of the 27 months the opportunity may not be there hence why WVU sued Marinatto and trying to get him away from the Providence All you can eat buffet table and to the negotiation table.
How do we know he's not Mel Torme?
And really, any anger I have towards the Big East and Marinatto is mitigated by the understanding that he really had no good options in this situation. It was a conference held together by duct tape and nonsense from the very start, and the only way it could get stronger was by somehow convincing teams to leave more stable situations to join everyone at the misfits table. Not gonna happen.
I think it's amusing when Pitt, Syracuse and WVU fans all cry about the state of the Big East when they, themselves, are responsible for the situation. It reeks of the "You made me do this!" defense to claims of abuse.
Championships Matter.
24 Years and Counting...
The ACC is no more stable now than the Big East, roles would be reversed if the Big East would have had ANY leadership, as soon as the TV contract bubbles pop they are going to be looked down upon because they are more worried about basketball meanwhile SEC, Big 12, Big 10, and PAC 12 actually produce numbers to merit theirs mostly. Its why when you look at the teams that have moved why the Big 10 took Nebraska even though Missouri arguably adds more tv and $. The Big 10 realized there is a market need for a quality program. The SEC on the other hand already has the quality by the boatload (Fla, Ga, LSU, Ala, Aub, etc) so they could afford to take the program that doesn't have the quality but adds more opportunities for viewers (Missouri and Texas A&M).
PAC 12 got snookered a bit when they thought they were getting Texas, OK, and Juniors took Colorado because they didn't want Baylor. And they still have USC, Stanford, Oregon, Washington (when good) to build a foundation of football on. The ACC has 3 programs that anyone cares about Va Tech, FSU, and Clemson (when good) the rest of their football programs are garbage. This is shown by attendance just look at anyone besides those 3 theyre half full. Heck one year in the title game there was like 24k... thats WRETCHED. Someone showed a photo of the USF game and it looked like there was still more people there than your average ACC game.

Although the stock is worthless, they were approached by a man wanting to buy it. Lois borrows the stock certificates so she can investigate, but while Lois is having lunch with Clark in a restaurant, a man bursts in and steals the stock from Lois's purse. Clark slips away and changes to Superman, chases the man in his car and recovers the stocks, but the man says he was hired by someone else to steal them. Lois decides to take a small plane up to the gold mine to investigate further, but en route the plane is attacked by another plane. Superman smashes the attacking plane to pieces, but the pilot says he too was hired by someone else to get the stocks from Lois. Resuming her flight, Lois arrives at the mine and is met by Brock Walters, owner of an adjacent mine, who drives Lois to the Guybart mine. Lois and Walters are attacked by two men in an armoured truck, but again Superman saves them. When Lois and Walters finally reach the mine, they enter to investigate, but Lois is trapped in a cave-in. As Superman saves her, he discovers that there are large deposits of gold in the mine so it appears not to be worthless after all. However, it turns out that Walters was the leader of a gang that was robbing other miners of their gold and was using the Guybart mine to store it. After a final showdown between Superman and the gang, the criminals are apprehended and Lois receives the reward for capturing them, which she donates to the elderly couple that got her started on the case.

I REALLY have to question that assertion, as there ARE Jem pilots here who insist that it's not OP because they get beaten...in the JHAS.
Seems to me that, all other stats and such being equal, a JHAS should be mopping the floor with every other escort out there (along with cruisers, sci ships, raiders etc.) just on the base of the thing's basic stats, including high impulse mod, 5 tac consoles, BOP maneuverability and Cruiser shielding (along with the Uni stations it also carries).
So here's what
see-if I'm killing a Jem bug by using my Bird of Prey, that Bug-driver would be dead meat in a Bird of Prey, or a Raptor, or any of the Fedscorts.
If I'm getting CLOSE to killing him, then he's probably not skilled enough to fly anything with lesser stats-maybe as a result of having the enormous crutch of a ship that is significantly OP from the get-go.
IF he's not taking down two or more in a pass, or if he's having trouble taking me or another BoP driver out, then he'd be pretty helpless in anything else.
It's only when a Bug Driver's taking down OTHER bug drivers on a regular basis, that I'm inclined to believe he's as good as he thinks he is.
See, I see it as the problem of the Bitchin' Camaro-(or the Ferrari driver)-probably not competent to make a run in anything LESS perfect, and I've seen this with certan former fleetmates-the same person who actively avoids PvP in a Raptor or BoP, yet fails to outperforme someone as mediocre as myself. The gear doesn't make you good, it just makes it easy-and easy doesn't make you any better.
The Jem'bug is an EASY MODE ship, as such it weakens your skills when you use it too extensively because 'Everything is easy with a Bugship."
But as I continue to maintain-dont' nerf it. What it needs, is competitors so that that 'easy mode' condition no longer persists, and a true "Elite" position matching the rhetoric can actually be obtained.
"when you're out of Birds of Prey, you're out of ships."
A Festival of Blood and Fire!
Blaming PvP for nerfs is like blaming Eudromaeosauria for today's urban crime rates.

FALLS CHURCH, Va., March 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Technology Catalysts International, leading global consultants to the consumer healthcare industry, announced that new research has identified probiotics as key to the future of healthcare. Probiotics are consumed to assist antibiotics, not only in digestive health, but also for promoting immunological, pediatric, CNS, and skin health and well-being. New delivery and carrier technologies for probiotics increase bioavailability and shelf life of live bacteria administered to the human host; creating another potential business opportunity in competitive niche markets around the world.
In general, probiotics are isolated from healthy individuals, and are ingested to reside within the human GI tract to compete with the pathogenic bacteria in the body. Until recently, the "buzz" about probiotics has dealt with aiding digestive conditions through yogurt formulations. However, the probiotic mechanisms of other applications are closely related to digestive improvements, but the market potential in these areas has yet to be exploited. Probiotics, not only provide assistance to drugs and foods, but they are natural, and therefore demonstrate a strong marketable edge in consumer healthcare.
Peggy Steele, Global Business Director, Health and Nutrition for Danisco, states that although the probiotic market numbers are confusing, she believes the probiotics market will continue to grow at a robust rate. Although there are estimates the probiotic market will exceed $32 million by 2015, Steele believes the market will surpass that number. Danisco, a global leader in probiotics, has seen strong recent success with its North American launch of its HOWARU® Protect in children's beverages, clinically proven to reduce cold and flu symptoms. The recent acquisition of Danisco by DuPont has made major headlines. Experts predict DuPont will make significant investments to boost

RAMANATHAPURAM: The concept of self-help group movement had given self-reliance to the rural women, said S. Thangavelan, Minister for Slum Clearance.
Speaking at a function organised by the Tamil Nadu Women Development Corporation in connection with the International Women's Day here on Saturday, he said that ever since the concept was introduced by Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi about 20 years ago, the SHGs were doing well. The repayment of loan by SHGs to the bank was very good. Rural women, who were confined to houses, had undertaken some meaningful assignments that forced them to visit banks, attend meetings and meet people.
Mr. Thangavelan said that the overall contribution of women to the society had gone up owing to the women right struggles carried out by the Dravidan leaders, including E.V. Ramasamy, Anna and Karunanidhi. It was during the DMK rule that the law for ensuring equal rights to women in family landholdings was enacted. Moreover, thanks to the 33 percent reservation for women in local bodies, 50,614 women got representation in the local bodies.
Collector R. Kirlosh Kumar, who presided over the function, said that there were around 8,000 SHGs in the district. Around 1.62 lakh women had become members of them. M.S.K. Bhavani Rajendran, Member of Parliament,;T.K.S. Manimanthiri, Project Officer, Mahalir Thittam; Basheer, Chairman, Keelakarai Municipality; and Kalaimathi Raja, Union Chairman, Mandapam, participated. Earlier, the Minister distributed revolving funds to several self- help groups.

Figure 8.
Model for impact of in vitro chronic glucolipotoxicity on cellular processes in pancreatic beta cells. Model describes the signaling pathways involved in glucose and fat metabolism with focus on their coupling to insulin secretion. We found that under chronic glucolipotoxic conditions in vitro, multiple signaling events involved in glucose and fat metabolism are dysregulated leading to impaired insulin synthesis, content and secretion. The effects of chronic glucolipotoxic conditions on the signaling events involved are shown using upward arrowheads (representing an increase) and downward arrowheads (representing a decrease). In the model, arrows indicate activation and blunt arrows indicate inhibition.

Hey, kids! The 2014 Rookie Scouting Portfolio by our own "Futures" columnist Matt Waldman is now on sale. It's over 1,000 pages long -- seriously -- and covers 164 "skill position" prospects. You also get a post-draft add-on that discusses where each player was drafted and what that opportunity means for his fantasy value in both one-year and dynasty leagues. It costs $19.95, but ten percent of every sale is donated to Darkness to Light to combat sexual abuse.

The biggest of the remaining free agent dominoes fell this morning, in a surprising place. Jared Allen is headed to his old rivals in Chicago, to replace Julius Peppers. It's a four-year, $32 million contract that's more like a two-year, $15.5 million guaranteed contract. I really don't think Allen is anywhere near done. He had 11.5 sacks and 25 quarterback hurries last year (according to the FO game charting data that we're about 98 percent done cleaning up).

I figured this move needed its own thread rather than going in the big master free agency thread. Michael Vick signed a one-year deal with the New York Jets today for an undisclosed amount. This will of course do wonders for Geno Smith's confidence, I'm sure. It's not a terrible decision for Vick, however; he's reunited with offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg and the Jets will have a better defense and better chance to contend than, say, the Raiders.

Plenty of fans who are otherwise analytical still believe in the importance of momentum in NFL games, despite study after study showing that no clear definition of it can be shown to clearly mean anything. But what if we're looking at the wrong scale by looking for momentum for whole teams?

Offensive tackle Eric Winston is the new head of the players' union. He might be my favorite current player on Twitter, thanks to occasional actual insightful football comments. Let's hope he's as smart when it comes to labor issues. Winston played in Arizona a year ago and is currently a free agent.

Middle school teacher exposes nation's biggest slave trader
The slave trade was still legal at the time, but the act was so appalling that crew members complained. An arrest warrant was issued, and DeWolf appealed directly to a Supreme Court justice, who turned down his plea for mercy.
After four years of hiding on St. Eustatius — an island in the Caribbean he used as a stopover midway through the Atlantic slave route — DeWolf stood trial in the West Indies. The case was dismissed when nobody testified against him. Johnson discovered in her research that a crew member who had brought the complaint was named a captain to a DeWolf ship after the case fell apart.
Johnson also learned DeWolf avoided the Newport collector — the equivalent of a customs agent — by docking in Bristol, about 14 miles to the north. When a new collector was stationed in Bristol, DeWolf demanded President Thomas Jefferson replace him with DeWolf's brother-in-law.
The president — fearing he wouldn't get DeWolf's support in his re-election bid — complied. DeWolf later named one of his slave ships The Thomas Jefferson.
Besides owning two banks, insurance companies, rum distilleries, retail stores and plantations, DeWolf also served in Congress for years. His Senate career was cut short to tend to the loss of his schooner, the MacDonough, which sunk off Havana, taking 300 slaves down with her. The crew and captain, who was DeWolf's nephew, escaped.
Researching such atrocities took its toll.
"There were times I had to walk away from it and clear my head," she said. "How does someone do those things?"
DeWolf was never caught and continued his operation until his death in 1837 at 73. His slave vessels continued for about 20 years under his nephew.
Johnson has been invited to speak about DeWolf at bookstores, libraries and historical sites in Vermont and Rhode Island this summer.

The most relaxing spring break we have ever had. The Legends home was beautifully decorated and nicely appointed with high end linens, robes, toiletries. Much appreciated! Kids alternated between swimming and watching netflix on the huge TV (90in?). Pool was great and had some deep areas for diving and sit up stools. Guys golfed most days and made a pit stop right before the green to enjoy some cold refreshments. Kids loved serving the dads. Early mornings were nice and quiet on the patio to enjoy coffee before the kids got up. Didn't get to use fire pit but BBQ was used every day. Very chill home - will stay again. Management company easy to work with. Met us at the home to show us how to use everything. Very nice arrival setup.
We rented this house for a large family birthday celebration....3 couples and 5 children! The house was very well stocked with plush linens and towels and tons of kitchen pots/pans, etc.
My only complaint was patio/pool too close to Golf cart path, and not a large area for sun with its north exposure

Cyber-school students: Pentagon snubs our service
COLUMBIA, S.C. Students graduating from the growing ranks of online high schools are running into a hurdle if their goal is to join the military: The Pentagon doesn't want many recruits with non-traditional diplomas.
Many would-be soldiers like Ryker Packard, 17, of Fassett, Pa., say they weren't aware the armed services have a policy of not taking more than 10 percent of recruits with a non-traditional high school diploma. Critics, including some in Congress, say the military is behind the times and point to the growth on online teaching and testing at all levels of education, including college degrees.
"It just grinds my gears," said Packard, who wants to become an Army diesel mechanic after graduating from Pennsylvania's Agora Cyber Charter School in June.
Packard said his conversation with an Army recruiter came to a brusque end after he told him he was due to graduate from a virtual school. "He just wouldn't talk to me," said Packard.
Packard's mom, Sherri, said her son switched to online classes after floundering in a geometry course at his brick-and-mortar school. Once he got the attention of online teachers, his grades improved, she said.
Packard said her son's school is fully accredited by the state of Pennsylvania, which requires students to pass the same tests and meet the same curriculum requirements as those in traditional schools.
"It's part of the public school system," said Sherri Packard, 43. "It's considered one of the best in the state."
Job prospects amid the rolling hills and farms of northern Pennsylvania are slim, Ryker said. "My options are to work for the gas company or on a pig farm," the dejected teen said in a telephone interview.
Ryker and his family unknowingly ran into a policy the Department of Defense has that ranks graduates of traditional high schools as "Tier 1" and those from alternatives as "Tier 2" status. Tier 1 graduates now make up 99 percent of all recruits for all military branches, according to Pentagon spokeswoman Eileen Lainez. The secondary status includes virtual and homeschoolers, as well as those who've left high school and earned a GED or General Education Development certificate.
Lainez said the Department of Defense limits all branches of the military to accepting no more than 10 percent of recruits with what is known as an "alternate high school credential."
Those who've opted out of the traditional educational system just don't stick with military service, she said. That includes students from what she called "any computer-based, virtual-learning program."
"Years of research and experience show recruits with a traditional high school diploma are more likely to complete their initial three years of service than their alternate credential-holding (Tier 2) piers," Lainez said. Data collected since 1988 shows only 28 percent of graduates with traditional diplomas leave military service before their first three years in uniform, while those with non-traditional backgrounds have a 39 percent attrition rate, she said.
It comes down to money because its costs $45,000 to replace someone who hasn't met their full term, she said.

Danese Milano
The Danese Milano Story
In 1957, Danese Milano began as a rather informal collaboration between designer Bruno Danese, photographer Jacqueline Vodoz and other young Milanese artisans. A year later, Danese met with well-known designers Bruno Munari and Enzo Mari, effectively starting the transition from small local craftworks to large international design stuido. And so Danese Milano was introduced to the world as a maker of fine modern home furnishings, accessories and lighting. A creative downturn in the '90s was quickly reversed when designer Carlotta de Bevilacqua took over the administrative and creative control of Danese Milano in 1999.Read More

Unger Named as Acting SEC Chairman
The White House announced that President George W. Bush has designated Laura S. Unger as Acting Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The temporary appointment of Unger had been expected following former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt's announcement in December that he intended to leave before the end of his term. Levitt's last day was Friday.
Rep. Michael Oxley, (R-OH), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, called Unger "a leader in ensuring that investors and market participants gain full advantage of new technologies as they are used in our securities markets."
Unger, whose term as an SEC commissioner expires in June, is the only Republican on the panel. Other members of the panel include Paul Carey and Isaac Hunt, Jr. There are two vacancies on the panel.

Court asked, Can Ashcroft be sued for 9/11 policy?
WASHINGTON Abdullah al-Kidd had an all-American background: Kansas native, then a football star in college. That's when he converted to Islam.
John Ashcroft was the attorney general who approved a policy that led to the arrests of al-Kidd and dozens of others without evidence of crimes in the Bush administration's aggressive response to the 9/11 attacks.
Now the Supreme Court will decide whether al-Kidd can try, through a civil lawsuit, to prove that Ashcroft should be held personally responsible for his arrest.
It is just one of several instances where Ashcroft's push-the-envelope style during the fear-filled period that followed the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks has ended up spawning lawsuits.
Al-Kidd was arrested at Dulles International Airport outside Washington, D.C., in 2003, preparing to board a flight to Saudi Arabia. FBI Director Robert Mueller boasted in congressional testimony that al-Kidd's arrest was one of five major anti-terrorism coups for the agency, including the arrest of alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.
The FBI persuaded a judge to issue a warrant for al-Kidd's arrest by contending he had paid $5,000 for a one-way ticket and neglecting to mention that he was an American and had a wife and children in the U.S. His lawyers say the claim about the ticket was false, that he had a much cheaper, round-trip ticket.
In addition, they said, he had cooperated fully with authorities following Sept. 11. "The FBI never told him he might be needed as a witness or told him not to travel abroad," said Lee Gelernt, an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer who is representing al-Kidd.
Instead, agents "blindsided" him at the airport, Gelernt said. Al-Kidd says he was strip-searched and shackled during his 16 days in detention and then he remained under severe restrictions for the next 14 months.
He was one of at least 70 people detained under a law aimed at ensuring that "material witnesses" would be available to appear in court and testify at trial, according to a study by civil liberties groups. Like many others, al-Kidd was never called to testify before a grand jury or in open court and was not charged with a crime.
He sued Ashcroft, asserting that his arrest stemmed from a policy announced by the then-attorney general less than two months after 9/11. At that time, Ashcroft touted the use of material witness warrants to detain suspected terrorists when the government did not have sufficient evidence to hold them on criminal charges.
The lawsuit has not gone to trial, and Ashcroft, represented by the Obama administration, says he should be shielded from suits concerning his official duties. The former attorney general should not subjected to "burdensome litigation and potential damages for the conduct of his subordinates," acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal, the administration's top Supreme Court lawyer, has told the court.
The details of al-Kidd's complaint are not before the Supreme Court. When the case is argued early next year, the justices will consider only whether Ashcroft can be held liable.
Ashcroft, a former Missouri governor and senator, has been at the center of several legal fights concerning the Bush's administration's response to 9/11.
