Tasty young restaurants, from Chula Vista to San Marcos
New spots to get Mexican food, all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ, grilled seafood and hearty soups
El Vitral
Three seasons passed, and the Otay Ranch Town Center still hadn't gotten the slow-roasted cochinita pibil it'd been promised since spring 2012.
Then in the midst of holiday and hungry in-law season, this second El Vitral opened (Dec. 13). While larger than the flagship East Village El Vitral, this Chula Vista location has the same menu (the tequila selection is still taking shape). It has a more family-friendly vibe than the first one, open since 2009 and known for its 250+ tequilas and duck enchiladas.
The owner of both El Vitrals, Pablo Becker, is doing double duty as their chef. He's trained in French cuisine, but the mole poblano is his grandmother's recipe.
Heads up: The East Village El Vitral is closed through January for renovations.
El Vitral, Otay Ranch Town Center, near the Cheesecake Factory and Barnes & Noble, in Zone C, 2015 Birch Road #710, Chula Vista. (619) 236-9420 or on Facebook.
San Diego Soup Shoppe
They've been fresh-making medleys of mushroom with Brie or New England clam chowder since opening in November. You might remember these soup makers from their days at the Ocean Beach Farmers' Market, where they operated as the OB Bread company. Once known for slinging lobster bisque and roasted red pepper in the beach town's streets, they've bulked up their soup selection since throwing up a shingle at the corner of Utah and El Cajon Boulevard. (And changed their roasted red pepper recipe to now include Gouda.) The Shoppe technically closes at 6 p.m., but when they sell out of their six-soup selection they lock the doors.
2850 El Cajon Blvd. North Park. (619) 795-3870 or sdsoupshoppe.com
Blind Burro
Open since Dec. 14, Blind Burro was inspired by Mexico's haute cuisine of the moment, out of Baja (so there's no burritos, no enchiladas). This East Village newbie has mariscos, mahi mahi and seafood cazuelas (stews) designed by chef consultant Sara Polczynski. (She did Analog's menu and recently explored Baja cuisine with celebrity chef/Mexi-phile Rick Bayless.)
Blind Burro comes from owner Ty Hauter (Lucky's Lunch Counter, Bootlegger, + his other Good Time Design venues). It has two bars, both with an emphasis on tequilas and mezcals and Bacanora de Sonora--which was an illegal drink until recently. And the Burro occupies the old Fleetwood space, yet it upped the social-dining quotient: They added booths and killed the DJs and dance floor.
Lunch service starts Jan. 13. (A sister speakeasy called Cat Eye Club is attached to the restaurant, and will open on the Seventh Ave. side of the building come February: cateyeclubsd.com.)
639 J St. East Village. (619) 795-7880 or theblindburro.com
Eureka! Burger
The UTC mall's booze-fueled shopping prayers are answered. It's getting this SoCal burger import. There's as much an emphasis on whiskey as there is craft beer. (We're promised 40 examples of each great genre.) Eureka! has a soft opening this weekend. Read some of our hype about Eureka! here.
Westfield UTC Mall, 4353 La Jolla Village Drive, University City. eurekaburger.com

Forests.org, a project of EcoInternet
January 19, 2013
An indigenous community of about 400 villagers is preparing to resist the Ecuadorean army and one of the biggest oil companies in South America. The Kichwa tribe on Sani Isla say they are ready to fight to the death to protect their territory, which covers 70,000 hectares of pristine rainforest, adjacent to and part of Yasuni National Park. The region is one of the most biodiverse on Earth, and the large intact ecosystems power local and global sustainability. The Ecuador government has received much acclaim for plans to protect biodiversity rich Yasuni from oil development in exchange for compensation payments. Yet much of the rest of the nation's rainforests remain threatened by oil development, including a new round of leases, and indigenous peoples continue to lose control of their rainforest homes.
Petroamazonas – the state-backed oil company – has told the Kichwa it will soon begin prospecting, backed by public security forces, paying only $40 per hectare. Residents of Sani Isla have built up an arsenal of weapons – spears, blowpipes, machetes, guns, sticks and stones – to fend off Petroamazonas, in a confrontation which has been delayed but not yet won. Community leaders have stated "we have decided to fight to the end. Each landholder will defend their territory. We will help each other and stand shoulder to shoulder to prevent anyone from passing… We will not start conflict, but we will try to block them and then what happens will happen." Community members are appealing for outside help protesting the oil invasion, assistance in their legal battle, and in efforts to find long-term economic alternative to fossil fuels.

Standing rainforests provide development forever
Your Message:
To: President Correa, Republic of Ecuador
Dear President Correa,
I am writing to express grave concern with Ecuador's failure to protect its rainforests and indigenous peoples from oil development. While the Yasuni-ITT initiative may protect for a while some vitally important rainforests, much of the rest of your great nation - particularly indigenous communities - are threatened by ecocidal oil development. You are repeating past disastrous policy for short-term profit by a few at the expense of rainforest communities, their water and land, and your nation's ecological sustainability and respect for human rights.
I am disturbed by plans by Petroamazonas to develop the Kichwa tribe's oil resources against their wishes, and demand the project be cancelled immediately. The Kichwa are justified using whatever means are necessary to defend themselves from an illegal invasion of their rainforest homelands. Further, new oil auctions in the rainforests of the south-central Ecuadorian Amazon threaten some of the last pristine old growth forests in Ecuador, including the rainforest homes of seven native nations that have repeatedly voted to reject oil extraction on their lands. These disastrous oil auctions must be cancelled.
Concerned global citizens stand in solidarity with these indigenous nations and urge you to immediately stop the oil auctions and pursue alternative strategies for Ecuador's long-term economic development that promote community advancement based upon standing, intact old-growth rainforests. Future national well-being - indeed global leadership - depends upon sustaining national ecosystems.
We urge you to do the right thing and respect the rights and wishes of indigenous people, and protect some of Earth's most precious ancient old-growth forests. Please immediately cancel Petroamazonas plans to illegally enter the Kichwa tribe's rainforests, and stop further rainforest oil auctions. Leave the oil in the ground, your priceless rainforests in place, and pursue a truly sustainable future based upon standing rainforests. The health and well-being of future Ecuadorean and global generations are in your hands. The world is watching.
With grave concern,
bcc: YOU

With the impending return of Darby Douglas as morning traffic reporter for KHOU (Channel 11), incumbent traffic reporter Katherine Whaley said today she will leave the station in August.
Whaley, a graduate of Memorial High School and Rice University who joined Channel 11 in 2009, said she was offered a reporting position with the station that she said she "ultimately determined was not the right fit for me."
She said she will continue with Channel 11 through most of August and is "engaged in conversations for upcoming opportunities."
Whaley also contributed a weekly feature to the station called "Food Truck Fridays" and also has a website, dashofdecadence.com, that focuses on Houston food, her original recipes and travel. She said she will re-launch the site later this month.
Before joining Channel 11, Whaley worked for stations in Lafayette, La., Victoria and Las Vegas.
Station officials did not cite a reason for the decision to bring back Douglas, who contributed traffic reports to the station from 1996 through 2009, but Channel 11's morning newscasts have lost ground in recent months to KPRC (Channel 2) in the adults 25-54 demographic.

House Distillers occupies a nondescript space on SE Seventh Avenue that once housed a food-photography studio and, before that, an automotive shop. Tucked within the mini-skyline of vats and rows of raw-oak barrels is a small kitchen with a bar. We've barely arrived when House co-owner Christian Krogstad starts pulling out jiggers, a juicer, some limes, elderflower liqueur, gin, sugar, a julep strainer, ice. He loads it all into a Boston shaker and reefs the hell out of it over his left shoulder (a six-second shake is optimal).
We get a gimlet, and then we get a sidecar made with Clear Creek Distillery pear brandy. Clear Creek is across town, and is owned by another fella, Stephen McCarthy, but good distillers know when to give a competitor his due, especially when the competitor is widely credited for starting the whole Oregon microdistilling scene. "If you're by yourself, it's a novelty, a curiosity," Krogstad is saying. "Get eight distilleries in town and it's a movement."
With five of these eight craft distilleries located on and around SE Seventh Avenue and Hawthorne Boulevard, the area is already becoming known as the Distillery District. What a lot of Portlanders may not know is how accessible the distilleries are—most open up regularly for tours, tastings, and retail. In House's "apothecary," for instance, you'll find not only their liquors for sale, but also absinthe spoons, cocktail shakers, and T-shirts alongside display jars of star anise, caraway, limestone, lavender, and other materials that help make the company's spirits.
The distillery entrepreneurship of course follows the microbrewery boom of two decades ago, when brewers started crafting beers with local grains and water, and with the do-it-yourself mind-set that has come to characterize Portland. "People recognize that microdistilleries are going the same direction as breweries did, but faster," Krogstad says. He and other members of the Oregon Distillers Guild (the only such guild in the nation, it turns a year old this month) are betting that even if craft distillers can't out-shout the marketing of international powerhouses like Grey Goose, they'll command a following if they simply continue making good liquor. "It took a while for beer drinkers to realize that a locally made beer can be as good as anything made in St. Louis," Krogstad says. "That's where craft distillers are now." Here's a guide to who's making what. —Paige Williams

Randy Seaver over at Genea-Musings always has such terrific Saturday night fun, and I finally have a chance to participate. He asked us to recall one of our favorite memories growing up.
I came of age in the 1980s, and I was shaped by the music and culture of that time. But one of my favorite memories–group of memories, really–are the times I shared with my childhood best friend Brandon growing up in Prince George's County, Maryland in a sprawling apartment complex on Branch Avenue. Brandon looms very large in my memory, because we were two highly adventurous children who were really artists in our hearts.
We spent most of our time dancing, drawing, acting, singing, making books, creating "shows" we would put on for our friends and parents, and generally inhabiting a play-world all our own. We had clubhouses in the woods. We climbed trees and roller-skated. We watched every episode of "Dynasty" and "Knots Landing". We got in trouble together. We'd get teased for being best friends (as a boy & girl) but we didn't care and thankfully neither did our parents. We were two little dreamers and the apartments where we lived served as the perfect backdrop for our escapades, with its large pool, rec center, and tennis courts. I'll never forget all the good times we had from about the age of 9-10 until we graduated high school.
Brandon moved to New York where he later became a professional dancer with the Alvin Ailey School of Dance. We're still great friends and often wonder how in the heck we got to be 40 years old. Recently on a visit, Brandon and I went back to that apartment complex of our childhood, and walked around with a video camera, reminiscing (oh the genealogist in me never quits;)). My childhood is the bright & shining color of yellow because of Brandon. In my mind's eye, we'll always be those two oddball kids, ready to take on the world.

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. — Sylvia Earle, National Geographic Society Explorer in Residence and a noted scientist, oceanographer, environmental advocate and author, will address the graduating class at Wilson College's 143rd commencement ceremony, to be held at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 19.
Earle, who will receive an honorary degree from the college, will deliver an address entitled "A Sweet Spot in Time," which will examine "the major challenges we face in terms of ocean health, climate and other environmental risks, but recognizes the reasons for hope and the power that every person has to make a positive difference."
Earle has been called a "living legend" by the Library of Congress and was given the nickname, "Her Deepness," by The New Yorker after her 1,250-foot descent to the ocean floor in Hawaii in 1979. She was Time magazine's first "Hero for the Planet." Earle has master's and doctoral degrees from Duke University.
This year, approximately 94 students will receive bachelor's and associate degrees during Wilson's commencement ceremony, which will be held outside on the college's main green. (In case of rain, the ceremony will be held in Laird Hall.) In addition, 14 graduates of Wilson's Master of Education program will receive their degrees and another 54 certificates will be granted to college graduates who are completing the teacher intern program at Wilson.
During the commencement ceremony, Robin J. Bernstein, former Wilson College trustee and past chair of the board, will be honored with trustee emerita status.
A baccalaureate service will be held at 10 a.m. in Alumnae Chapel at Thomson Hall.
For more information, contact Wilson College Manager of Media Relations Cathy Mentzer at 717-262-2604 or email@example.com.
Founded in 1869, Wilson College is a liberal arts college offering bachelor's degrees in 30 majors and master's degrees in education and the humanities.

Vancouver Canucks (10-5-1) at Phoenix Coyotes (10-3-2), 9 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Phoenix Coyotes try to avoid their first home regulation loss of the season on Tuesday night as they aim for a fifth straight victory overall in a meeting with the Vancouver Canucks.
The first three games of the Coyotes' longest winning streak of the season came at home before the club picked up a 3-2 road victory over San Jose in a shootout on Saturday. It marked Phoenix's second straight victory in a shootout and featured 48 saves by Mike Smith.
Antoine Vermette scored the game-winner in the shootout's fifth round after San Jose's Patrick Marleau failed on his attempt. Smith stopped four straight Sharks skaters after getting beat in the first round.
"He made some key saves and was an important part of our win tonight," Vermette said.
Vermette and Mikkel Boedker scored in regulation as the Coyotes won for the sixth time in seven games. The win moved Dave Tippett into first place on the franchise's all-time wins list for a head coach. Tippett's 166 wins snapped a tie with Bob Francis.
Phoenix is looking to win five straight for the first time since March 29- April 7 to close out the 2011-12 season. It will also put its 6-0-1 record at home this campaign on the line.
However, the Canucks picked up a 2-1 win in their lone trip to Phoenix last season and are 4-0-1 in their past five trips to the desert.
Vancouver has won five of six overall and notched a 4-0 win over Toronto on Saturday in its first game since inking twins Daniel and Henrik Sedin to matching four-year contract extensions on Friday.
Daniel Sedin was one of four goal scorers and Henrik had an assist to give him 13 points over an 11-game point streak. Daniel has scored five goals with eight points over his own six-game run.
Roberto Luongo made 21 saves and the Canucks managed to come out with some energy, getting a goal from Daniel Sedin 6:03 into the game after a long delay to start the contest. Vancouver honored Pavel Bure before the game, retiring his No. 10 jersey.
"We weren't quite sure what was going to happen after the ceremony. We were sitting there a long time, but it was a great start for us. (We) created a ton of chances and were able to bury one," said Luongo following his 64th career shutout.
"I was getting antsy, sitting out there 20, 25 minutes and then the first 10 minutes of the game not getting any shots. I had a lot of built-up energy that I was ready to spend."
Zack Kassian, Chris Higgins and Dan Hamhuis added goals for the Canucks, who begin a four-game road trip.
Luongo is hovering around .500 for his career against the Coyotes, going 11-10-1 with a 2.26 goals against average and three shutouts in 22 meetings.
Smith is 3-3-0 with a 2.39 GAA in seven starts versus the Canucks.

Alessi Mami Xl Long Drink Glass
About the Designer
Stefano Giovannoni Italy (1954 - )
Born in La Spezia in 1954, Stefano as an architect and designer was taught by Buti at Florence University. In the early 80Æs he founded the King-Kong Production Group along with Guido Venturini. His explosive talent enables him to embody a complex system of 'affective codes' in his projects. This great approach won him the title of 'Super and Popular' designer in the 90Æs. A technical designer par excellence, he has industrial design in his DNA and the capacity to understand public sentiment like no other designer. His projects began with the "Girotondo" (1989 designed with Guido Venturini) and the first transparent objects in plastic from the "Family Follows Fiction" series (1993). There is a huge number of his items in the "Officina Alessi", "Alessi" and "A di Alessi" catalogues.

Their roles included communications, intelligence, logistics, aviation, nursing, and others. In this exhibit, curator Alyssa Hockenberry class of 2012, explores some of their individual contributions to the war effort.

Curator Alyssa Hockenberry '12 selected works from artists who included Wilson's first fine arts instructor, Lalla Troupe; as well as Wai Kei Leung, a student from China studying at Wilson in the early 1900s; and Helen Rawson Bryce, who reproduced a scene from her dorm room as it looked in 1900. In addition, sketches of Wilson buildings and posters printed in support of the first Earth Day at the College are examples of the diversity and depth of Wilson art celebrated in this exhibition.

Rated 5 out of 5�by SheenBean58 Perfect Dress! This dress is very comfortable and shows off your curves. I especially like the fact that this dress is color block and stripes to give it a different look. Since I am small, I purchased the petite size. I have to say that is the perfect length and does not drag to the floor, so I can wear flats instead of wedges. August 1, 2013

Hi - I am a foodaholic and made it all the way through the September Kickstart - my first weight loss success in several years. I lost 12 pounds, and felt like I had finally found a lifestyle that would work for me. I love that being vegan has benefits to the planet as well as my own health.
Unfortunately, my foodie urges got the best of me once I was off the 'plan'. I slowly started adding dairy when we were at a restaurant, then at home, and finally even put meat back into my diet. Now my weight is back up even higher and I'm starting to feel the effects in my joints and overall health. I'm not diabetic yet, but I'm sure diabetes or heart disease is in my future if I don't turn this train around.
If you're also working to overcome emotional eating and would like to share this journey and be accountable to each other, let's connect here. I have nearly 100 pounds to lose, so I know this has to be a lifestyle change - not just a diet. I also know if we can lose the weight, we can be great ambassadors for the vegan lifestyle and help others leave a smaller and shallower footprint too.
To: Never2Late
I just read your recent post. I would like to stay in touch to support each other. I have had a somewhat similar experience as you. Were you thinking that those who have had a similar experience and are interested in supporting one another do so through this forum? Or, we're you thinking that we would email one another?
Thank you so much for initiating this.
Supporting thru a forum like this is safe and the more prople you learn and share from/with , the better. This is a wonderful plan/program you do not change your way of eating on the 22ed day....use all the information and recipes you have now to experiment and make this lifestyle your own.
Thank you for replying Food4thought and KGarden. I think we can certainly start on this forum. i believe there are ways to send private messages if needed - and if email is easier, I'm happy to oommunicate that way.
Let's just keep it flexible and we can go where the journey leads. Glad to have your support! Let's do this!!
oh good luck Kay...I just wrote a new message in the forum titled Sugar,Fat,Salt, OH MY! and it sort of explaines my situation briefly...see if you can find it.
Hi, Kay:
I have been following a mostly vegan diet at home recently. Unfortunately, there have been occasions where I have brought some non-vegan food for other family members, and have ended up eating some.
A bigger issue for me is when I am not home--either in a restaurant or someone else's home. Maintaining a vegan diet under those circumstances has been very difficult for me. My discipline and willpower fades when I am with other non-vegan people.
I need to succeed at this for weight reduction and other health reasons. I look forward to supporting each other and any other members of this forum who similarly struggle with food issues.
Food4thought wrote:
Eating at someone's house, tell them your restrictions before the event. Offer to bring something that you know you can eat. Most friends are more interested in your company than what's on your plate.
great advice Jodie.
That is great advice Jodie. Eating out is a problem area for me too. Together we can conquer these difficult situations! I will look for your other post, Garden. Thanks! Happy New Year all!

Hi Never2Late,
I will be interested to see how things go for you and others in similar situations (myself included) now that the kickstart is being held monthly. Sometimes we need longer term support than the 21 days offers - which is literally just a kickstart period as it takes 3-weeks to change a habit. We start out really motivated and do well during those 21 days but fall back into old habits later. This forum will be here at the end of the 21 days so keep checking in with questions and for support. Good luck.
Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food - Hippocrates.
Yes kiwi...changeing is a life long proccess....it is for everyone who want to improve in some way, once you realize that and not be afraid of the challenge, youve won the battle. Just be mindful what your eating and why, let it go if you over ate on a holiday or in responce to an emotional time...then get back to makeing thoes smart choices again...it gets to the point where the smart choices become your way of life most of the time
I think the ongoing kickstarts will be a big help. I also appreciate the advice about forgiving an occasional transgression and just trying to make the right choices almost all the time. Heck, if I could do that, I wouldn't be 100 pounds overweight for long. Hope you are all having a successful first day. Kay
Hi Never2Late,I'm a food addict as well and have tried multiple methods to try and stop the unhealthy binge eating. I even went to OA meetings for a while. However, after doing all the research and gaining so much knowledge, I'm excited about this plan where I can eat until I'm full without guilt. I'm also excited I found this Kickstart program with forum because I don't have anyone around me yet that is as excited about this lifestyle change as I am. We can definitely all support each other here!
That was my downfall too. What I am doing is telling my close friends what I am doing - I'm even buying one of them a McDougall cookbook because she wants to support me but doesn't know what to make. When going to a friend's home, offer to bring a dish and make it a low-fat vegan one. That way you know you'll have something healthy and filling to eat.
- AmandaBe the change you wish to see in the world...
Welcome Amanda! Glad to have you here! I actually finally broke down and went to an OA meeting several years ago. I was so grateful for it - and would you believe, it was the last meeting ever held in my region? That really sent me into a downward spiral that has lasted several years.
What a great idea to give a good friend a vegan cookbook - and offer to bring a vegan dish. I will bank both of those!
I hope everyone is having a great day two. We can do this! Kay
Reese's cups keep calling my name.... I even went so far as to take the lid off the candy jar on my secretary's desk - but stopped myself and walked away. I'm going to celebrate the small victories - heaven knows, I've beat myself up over the small infractions plenty of times... Hope you are all having a good day. K
Stick to it K...really between habits,exposure and you are probably fighting a sugar, fat,salt addiction...you will have to use some will power occasionally....IT WILL GO AWAY....the more you eat whole foods and reduce the amount of refined,processed foods and fats, you will begin to really tast the food again...and its pretty darn good! When your nourished and takeing care of yourself, you wont crave junk as much...sometimes it helps to analize your choice...look at the nutrition facts on the pkg. then decide if you want to eat it...and why.
@Never2Late, I hear you on the Reese's! I was addicted to those for years, eating 6 at one sitting. One thing stopped me cold in my tracks and I stopped eating them: My sister took a class on insects at UC Berkeley which reported that Reese's peanut butter cups have the highest number of insect parts in them, out of all candy! Hope this helps you.
Well if insects won't stop me, I don't know what would! Thanks for the support and the tip!
I know last time I did the kickstart after a few days, the cravings subsided substantially. I'm glad you all are here to help me get through those few days!
Keep going strong, Kay! The battle not to start with one piece is smaller than the battle to stop after eating one. Like the others say, the cravings will go away. You (and me both!) need to go through the sugar "detox" to reprogram our brains and taste buds.

Plum Garden, Kamata (Kamata no Umezono), No. 27 from One Hundred Famous Views of Edo
The entire Kamata area south of Ōmori was known for the cultivation of plum trees and was celebrated more for its early summertime fruits than its springtime blossoms. The gentle beauty of this print tends to distract the viewer from the structure intruding from the right. It is a cushioned palanquin known as a yamakago ("mountain palanquin"), once widely used for travel in Japan. The overgarment left casually on top suggests that a traveler has recently stopped off for a brief rest from the nearby Tokaido highway that linked Edo to Kyoto.

The estate which was open to the public complete with teahouses and a restaurant dated from the early Bunsei Period (1818-1830) and came to be known as the "Plum Mansion" (Umeyashiki), with its several hundred trees extending into the distance. The owner of the mansion was a medicine dealer from Omori, whose chief product was a cold remedy called Wachusan. The structure on the right is an indigo cushioned palanquin of the simple A-frame type known as a "yamakago" ("mountain palanquin") and was used widely for travel in Japan, suggesting that a traveler had stopped off from nearby Tokaido for a rest, leaving an over garment on top.

You don't need to spend countless hours in a classroom, or have an MBA to become a successful entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs often don't have the time or patience to sit through a semester long class or six-week course in order to retrieve the answer to a question they have now--today. They need help quickly and efficiently. And this is where our idea for Founders School started.
Building on a simple idea can be the most important thing for a company in the long run. A focus on a simplified solution and a diverse marketing plan were two key things that set Smart Monitor on a successful path.
Leaving presentations to chance is like embarking on a trip without a map (hat tip to Amanda Schnieders for the metaphor). If you don't know where you're headed and how you'll get there, you may not reach your destination.
With 1 Million Cups, as with any startup, our tendency is to put our best foot forward. We spend a lot of time talking about all of the great successes that we've had over the past year--and there have been many. But one of the things that makes our program special is that sense of having a safe space to share what you haven't done well and what you're struggling with on a day-to-day basis.
"No business plan survives first contact with customers," Steve Blank says. What? Isn't the point of planning that you maximize the likelihood of success in the marketplace? Well yes, but perhaps not the kind of planning you might be thinking about. A business plan conceived on paper, powered by a great idea or invention, enhanced by research on the size of the market and a customer profile, has great potential. But it also has a crucial flaw.
Every Thursday evening in downtown Pittsburgh, something special happens at Little E's Jazz and Blues Club. During happy hour each week, entrepreneurs get together to tap into what's hot in the Pittsburgh start-up arena. Over drinks and cool jazz, they have the opportunity to interact and create relationships with potential financiers, university incubators, economic development thought leaders and other business stars.

Go & Do: Jay Milbrandt shares his life-changing challenge in book
May 4, 2012 in Worthington Daily Globe
WORTHINGTON As a law school student, Jay Milbrandt found himself wandering in the middle of a desert a metaphorical wasteland, of course, although he's visited a few actual deserts, too.

Ok guys i need your opinion
My master socket has no electric sockets near it
just now i have a 5m ADSL cables going from the socket up the banister to where the router sits
the plug then comes from the router rouns the banister to the top landing where it plugs in
There is also a ethernet cable going from the router to a 2nd router so i can get total wireless coverage as my house is old and the walls are very thick
So i need to be able to plug that second router back into the new sky hub when i get it
I am thinking of asking the engineer to have the Openreach modem on the wall about 3 meters away from the master socket so again i can run the plug from it around the banister to the sockets i can then have the hub sitting updtairs and still have my router sitting on the banister for downstairs wireless
what do you think of this?
If i ask the engineer to make my master socket upstairs beside all the plugs would he be able to rewire my master socket just now into an extension?
i currently have only 1 telephone socket in the house whici is the master
the main telephone line comes into at the window at the top of the stairs so making the master socket up there would also decrease the cable length
or can he run a data extension kit from the master so i can have the modem and the router upstairs?

|Treasured Heirlooms from the Kitchen
It is our pleasure to introduce friends to a new KosherEye project – one that we invite and encourage our readers to share. Each of us have precious culinary heirlooms-either on paper, a tattered card or engrained in our memories. It could be a tip from our mother or grandmother; a kitchen adage; a cooking thought; a nostalgic recipe; an old kitchen tool, gadget or product…or even a photo. Our new feature "Culinary Heirlooms" will highlight these treasured cooking and eating reminiscences. No matter your heritage, please share your "grandmother's" kitchen wisdom with us!
Maternal Instincts by Judy Petel
If you purchase this spiral bound cookbook, do not expect a polished professional volume of trendy recipes or glitzy photos. Instead, expect a realistic look into treasured old family recipes. Each of the 200 recipe entries offers a glimpse into the kitchen of a family member, a friend, or a neighbor of the Petel family. Many are "heritage" recipes and use popular ingredients of the past. The added plus of this "haimeshe" (homestyle) cookbook are the short vignettes and recipes straight from Gertude Berg…yes from The Molly Goldberg Jewish Cookbook.*
Most important: All of the monies from the sale of this book directly support Merkaz Rachel, The Rachel Karwan Child Development Center in Jerusalem.
About Merkaz Rachel:
Merkaz Rachel was created to meet the needs of almost 1/3 of the neighborhood's preschool and elementary-aged children (ages 3 to 13) who have learning disabilities such as attention deficit, coordination issues, hyperactivity, language difficulties and motor problems. Because they do not perform well in class, the children are disruptive and do not progress in their studies. Each week 200 children come to Merkaz Rachel to work with trained staff of professionals. " There are over 180 children on the waiting list that we can't treat because of limited funds."

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
The former system of Buff Bulletin and Administrative E-Memo had been around in some form since 1996. To current users, the plain-text presentation seemed dated and it had lost its traction with our internal audience. Perhaps more importantly, the system was not compliant with CAN-SPAM legislation, while the new communications streams are compliant with this law. To learn more about CAN-SPAM and its implications for Higher Education, OIT and UCOMM have authored a FAQ which can be found here: http://avcit.colorado.edu/node/26.
We can also send a targeted email for your organization. That email will come from your email address or group email address, and be sent with an email preferences category associated with your organization.
Administrative E-Memos can still be sent, and must be approved by a Vice Chancellor.
Colleges, schools, departments and programs can also get their own bulk email account, and send directly to their campus audiences. Contact Erin Frazier in Campus Communications for more information.
Every gift matters, no matter the size.

Outdoor enthusiasts from countries including China, Australia and Germany are among the 17 students spending the Autumn term in the Lake District as part of their masters in Transcultural European Outdoor Studies.
The qualification is the first of its kind and is being run by the university, Germany's University of Marburg and Norway's School of Sport Sciences.
Course leader Dr. Christopher Loynes said: "Within this time frame, our ambition is to make the course a coveted choice for people interested in pursuing a career in the outdoor field. We also aim to develop tight links with non-European universities and make the course truly global. Eventually, we plan to make the course financially self-sustaining through the charging of student fees."
The course will be funded by the European Commission for the next five years and once students have left Ambleside in the New Year they will spend their next two terms at the other institutions.
While some of the students area already experienced in outdoor studies, for many this is a new area of knowledge and expertise.
Katerina Pata from Greece, who previously studied to be a pre-school teacher, said:"I couldn't find a relevant masters course in Greece and applied for courses elsewhere in Europe. I liked this course because I get a chance to go to three different countries and learn various approaches to the subject. My goal is to make the concept of outdoor learning more prominent in my country and create my own outdoor kindergarten."
However, others come to the course with a lot of experience like Wilson Wai Yin Cheung who is a former president of the mountaineering association of Hong Kong.
The students, who come from 15 countries, will be living in university accommodation in Ambleside and learning the theoretical knowledge and practical qualifications necessary to be successful outdoor industry professionals.
During their first semester they will undertake two week-long hiking expeditions, one in the Scottish Highlands and one in the Lake District and a week-long canoeing trip.
A SNOW leopard which featured in a movie starring Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman is the latest addition to a South Lakeland zoo.
Young male Pavan, one of two leopards who played the part of Stelamaria in The Golden Compass, will be housed in a walk-through enclosure at Lakeland Wildlife Oasis at Hale, near Milnthorpe.
Staff have created a homely feel for their new feline friend with the enclosure designed to look like a Himalayan village with plenty of rocks for him to climb and snooze on.
An acrylic tunnel running through the enclosure will allow visitors to see Pavan in his own habitat in what is thought to be the UK's first walk-through big cat exhibit.
Assistant manager of Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, Caroline Howard, said: "We're really excited about Pavan's arrival - he's a real celebrity cat! His new home is amazing. You can walk right through his territory while he ranges around you - even above your head!"
Pavan has arrived from UK charity the Cat Survival Trust which helps conserve endangered cats.
Once he has settled in his new environment, zoo staff hope to form a breeding pair by adding a female snow leopard to Pavan's enclosure.It is not known how many snow leopards are left in the wild but they are now classed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis is joining the captive breeding programme which is run by the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

Saint Valentine's Day is February 14, but Valentine's can be every day of the year.
Visual artists have creative ways to express themselves when they suddenly become inspired within their hearts and souls. I felt inspired to suddenly create and design a very free-spirited and very whimsical painting on a most unlikely canvas. This time the canvas would be our big wrap-around front porch.
Our winter months in the deep south of Mississippi is usually dull, gloomy, and cold so I thought that this February, it would be fun to create something red which is a warm, toasty color, and white to tone down this daring red color. The whole porch would be framed in a bright true red color.
Every day we live can be a fascinating, delightful day because, today is a wonderful world to be just yourself and do your thing that makes you the happiest human being alive. This is exactly how I feel when I play dress-up on the porch. Let us all just be Peter Pan forever, then we won't have to ever grow up.
Miss Minnie Mouse and Mr. Mickey Mouse are the cutest little mice in the whole wide world, and they are deeply in love with each other. Let's share this creation together as we read it from left to right.
There are seven "live" characters. At the very top you will see a replica of our home designed and built by Buck Swain in 2006. It is really a mail box in the middle with the home built around the box.
It is filled with tiny people in our family, bedrooms, beds, tiny magazines, antique living room furniture, a cozy kitchen and an upstairs art studio. Look right behind "wo-mannequin" Mollie Golly's black mouse ears and red bow on her head. See it? Find the red glazing ball on a black stand, touches of green ivy and the white wooden swing built by Papa Pearson with red soft pillows in both the seat and the arms of the white swing. Find on the walls on the south side of our home an antique rail road light and paintings on the white wooden walls of the porch.
Now go back and see cute "wo-mannequin" Mollie Golly" and loo at her two furry black ears and a red poke-a-dotted big fat bow in the middle of her head this is her special hat. She has on white stockings on her legs and red shiny Mary Jane shoes on her feet. To the far left you will see one foot extended of our "wo-mannequin," Dottie, with her one ed shoe and Minnie Mouse socks on her toes. Underneath Mollie Golly's arm is a red small heart shaped " lady bug" box filled with chocolate candy.
You can see the tip end of one side of this box. Now on the small portable easel is his official portrait I did of him years ago. He is absolutely handsome.
The second scene is Priscilla who is their stuffed best girlfriend as she is rocking in an old child's bent wood rocker. Priscilla is really a cutey-pie. Her messy hair is tied with two red and white bows curled at the ends. She has on a stripped long sleeve tee shirt. On the side of the front of her shirt is a tiny Mickey Mouse emblem. Look at her over-sized Mickey Mouse flannel pants and "dig" her hot pink big shoes on her feet. To be honest, she looks so sloppy that she is just plain darling looking. She is clutching a medium sized heart shaped box filled with creamy chocolates.
Next to Priscilla is stuffed very flirty Minnie Mouse dressed in a red and black polka-dotted prissy dress big red shoes and one big red bow on the top of her head that also has black polka dots on it too. She is standing up in a white wooden child's rocking chair with her hands out-stretched waiting to just give each one of you a big hug.
Look and find the colorful, precious, one of a kind child's antique deacon's bench which suddenly has become a "Love Seat." See a smaller Minnie holding hands with Mickey with her red dress and Mickey with his red shirt on and both have on bright yellow shoes. Right above them they are singing the song printed on a white canvas in red lettering, "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" as they look at each other deeply in love, sneaking a kiss on each other's cheeks. Love is wonderful. See the dozen roses that Mickey has brought to Minnie in a attractive red and white poke-a-dotted wicker basket which is right below the antique colorful deacon's bench, now a real love seat for the two sweethearts.
Next. you will see the same portrait of Mickey now framed in one of the big glittery shiny hearts. This is the second time you view Mickey, and then look on inside middle the heart itself to the end of the porch towards the South side of our home. You see a hint of a MSU child's rocker and a red watering can. This one heart frames this entire scene itself.
The second sentence is "wo-mannquin." Dottie who is so beautiful. Her blue eyes and white complexion are just stunning along with her tasteful makeup on her cheeks and red lipstick on her pretty shaped lips. Not only is she lovely, but she looks so cute too. Her pig tails are tied with red and white ribbons. She is wearing a Minnie Mouse tee shirt with white and navy blue/jean colors mixed in. She has a Mickey Mouse long scarf around her neck. Red leather shoes on her feet and Mickey Mouse red bobby socks on her toes to keep her warm when the February cold winds blow. She has the largest red heart shaped box filled with varieties of candy inside.
Her hat takes the cake. Look at her human like Mickey Mouse ears. They look real, don't they? The ears are on top of a black felt beanie of the 1950's or maybe 1940's. She sports those red turned down bobby socks with Mickey Mouse on them, and she rocks, rocks and rocks in the largest Victorian rocker on the porch.
As I now look back at this creation, it seems as if the darkness of the middle and late afternoon gives this piece of art a feeling of warmly inviting your eyes to the sudden brightness of the late afternoon sunshine as it high lights the bottom of the front porch area of the top of the front screened in door and glass main door way. The bright rays of warm sunshine spot lights all of the seven characters.
Suddenly I hear tiny noises of seven mice — squeak, squeak, squeak. This is definitely the unique language of precious little mice, softly saying, "I love you."
From me as an artist to each of you, I sincerely say the greatest thing in all my life is loving you and I am 100 percent certain that Mickey and Minnie Mouse are truly in love for life.

Rated 3.7 out of 5Â by 10 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by HoneyGem Gypsy Wanderlust This bag is amazing, the details and embellishments are beautiful. It is also very well made. I have been using it for a week and have not lost any of the metal pieces, they get a nice wear on them and do no stay shinny but it looks great. The leather is not as soft as it looked in the picture but is good quality. Do not carry all of your text books in it, but there is plenty of room for whatever you need. I love it, great buy. 10.8.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by beani Unique Bag very nice and unique. Have gotten many compliments, is larger than in image. 11.13.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by SmilingDolphin LOVE it! This backpack is amazing I just couldn't not buy it. Its so unique and I get so many compliments on it. It has a moroccan kind of style I think which I love. Just a heads up-one thing that you can't tell from looking at the picture is that this bag with make a jingly sound when you walk. 11.9.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by JLa Cheap looking. I eyed this bag at the Free People store in my town... Trust me, not worth $148. It's cheaply made, and the materials do not seem durable (mainly the zipper). 6.29.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by mtgochez SO UNFORTUNATE. I purchased this backpack about two months ago and last week I realized it was starting to rip from the bottom back. I really love this bag, but I was so shocked at how poorly made it was. The little embellishments fall off so easily too. I love the design; it's so unique and truly beautiful. But for $148, I just wish it was made better. Maybe I got a defect but when I emailed customer service they said they couldn't do anything because they no longer make the bag in that color. SO DISAPPOINTED. 5.7.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Brigidrose Alameda Embellished Backpack I at first wasn't sure if I would keep this bag, so many things to get caught on and fall off of....but the more I kept looking at it, opening it, testing it ,the more I loved it! It is roomy and all the little beads and bling look secure. It has an inside pocket and an outside pocket. The thing that would make it a 5 star would be a cell phone pocket on the side. I also love the double take looks. 4.27.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by lindysue Awesome backpack! Got this at my FP store the moment I saw it- a few months ago- I've traveled with it and carried it daily to/ from work with good overall ability to stand up to my beatings- BUT- a lot of the gold discs have fallen off- it's very fragile that way- I've tried to reinforce the gold discs that are loose to try to prevent loosing more--- we'll see---- I just can't justify the expense and then not using it because it is fragile- made it to Moscow & back with me tho & got tons of compliments on my travels- light weight compared to other backpacks- padded iPad - laptop pouch makes it practical too! I keep contemplating if I should buy a second one for when the one I have now wears out! XoX 4.14.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by briiianaaa loved at first... I absolutely fell in love with this backpack when I first saw it on freepeople.com and knew I HAD to have it! It was perfect, the leather and all the emebellishments reallly do make it a unique piece. Although I wanted to use it with everything (like my books for school) you definitely can't because it is so fragile! Well, even though I barely use it, I tried using it the other day and the zipper completely broke :(. For $150 you'd think that the backpack would have at least a little durability. I'm hoping Free People has good enough customer service just to replace the bag and send in a new one since I've barely touched it. It's a beautiful piece, but be warmed, it is unbelievably fragile (and embellishments fall off very easily!). 2.21.2013

The Legal Action Center (LAC) seeks a Health Policy Attorney in its New York office to work on cutting edge legal and policy issues related to health care privacy and access to care, particularly addiction and mental health services. The Attorney in this newly created position also will join LAC's advocacy efforts to reorient the criminal justice system away from punishment toward health.
About the Organization: LAC is a private, not-for-profit law and policy organization, with offices in New York City and Washington, D.C. LAC is the only organization in the country whose sole mission is to fight discrimination against people with criminal records, drug or alcohol histories, and/or HIV/AIDS. LAC is a national leader in ensuring that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) expands access to health insurance and care for people with substance use and mental health disorders and for people in the criminal justice system. LAC is also a leading advocate for the privacy of alcohol and drug treatment and HIV information.
Job Responsibilities: The Health Policy Attorney will spend approximately half of his/her time engaging in policy work to promote effective implementation of the ACA as well as the federal parity law, which requires mental health and substance use disorder benefits to be covered at parity with medical and surgical benefits. The Attorney will spend the rest of his/her time on issues relating to the confidentiality of substance use treatment information, especially as it relates to electronic health records and integration of care. The position will require some travel to LAC's office in D.C., as well as to other states. Responsibilities include:
- Staffing a project to help adolescent substance use prevention and early intervention programs understand and comply with the federal law governing the confidentiality of substance use treatment and prevention records.
- Participating in all aspects of LAC's alcohol and drug confidentiality work, including: updating LAC's publications and other educational materials; conducting trainings; providing legal counsel to treatment providers nationwide through LAC's telephone hotline; and participating in the public policy debate about how to ensure confidentiality in a changing health care environment. The Attorney also will work on HIV privacy issues in New York.
- Conducting policy research and analysis of federal and state legislation, statutes, regulations and policy guidance; writing policy materials for Congress, state policy-makers and advocates; and helping to develop and implement policy advocacy strategies. This policy work is integral to LAC's efforts to take advantage of opportunities created by the ACA to improve access to care for LAC's constituencies.
- Conducting educational presentations and trainings on health policy issues to inform and empower stakeholders to strengthen the effectiveness of their advocacy.
- At least two years' experience with health policy issues is strongly preferred. Ideal candidate would have knowledge of private insurance, Medicaid, and the ACA, familiarity with the criminal justice system, and public policy experience.
- A passion for advocacy to expand access to health care and to eliminate discriminatory policies is essential.
- J.D., admitted (or candidate for admission) in New York.
- Excellent written and oral communication, advocacy, and analytic skills, including the ability to explain complex issues in clear, persuasive terms for non-lawyer audiences.
- High level of independence, initiative and creativity, demonstrated problem solving skills, and the ability to multi-task and work in teams.
- Strong networking skills and the ability to develop and maintain relationships with individuals, organizations and government agencies and well as to work with diverse groups of people.
Salary is commensurate with experience. Excellent benefits, including medical insurance, 403(b) plan with employer contribution, and pre-tax flexible benefits.
Please e-mail a resume and brief cover letter (no calls) to email@example.com and write Health Policy Attorney in the subject line. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled, but please apply as soon as possible. Only candidates selected for interviews will be contacted.
The Legal Action Center is an equal opportunity employer. We strongly encourage applications from our constituency: people with histories of substance use, involvement in the criminal justice system, and HIV/AIDS.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Indiana – Derek St. John was not content with two overtime wins.
Avenging a loss did not satisfy Montell Marion.
Bobby Telford focused on the challenge ahead and not the ones he had just conquered.
The University of Iowa wrestling team accomplished plenty Saturday, but you get the sense that it still is not enough. The Hawkeyes had six finalists and were in second place after the first day of the Big Ten Wrestling Championships at Purdue's Mackey Arena. Iowa is locked into a heated three-way race for the team title with 112 ½ points, trailing first-place Minnesota by 4 ½ and leading defending champion Penn State by 1 ½.
The Hawkeyes advanced a tournament high six wrestlers into Sunday's championship matches, and the focus already shifted to the next task, which is finishing what they started.
"We have to build on it and keep going," Iowa Coach Tom Brands said, "We have six in the finals, and we've got to win championships now."
They forced their way into the finals by a mixture of results. Matt McDonough survived a 125-pound semifinal battle for a one-point win. Tony Ramos broke open a match to continue his domination over B.J. Futrell of Illinois at 133. Marion (141) and 157-pounder St. John earned overtime wins. Freshman Mike Evans (165) and heavyweight Bobby Telford controlled their matches for strong victories.
They started showing the mentality that McDonough said they have been trying to develop all season and need for the postseason.
"Guys are coming out ready to go," McDonough said. "Guys want Big ten championships. They want wins. They want tough, hard wrestling. I don't see too many guys taking a backseat today for the Iowa team."
St. John capped a stretch of 13 straight winners bracket wins, starting with the Hawkeyes' 8-0 mark in the quarterfinals. He scored a takedown with 33 seconds remaining in overtime to defeated Penn State's second-seeded Dylan Alton, 3-1, in the semifinals.
"I don't know how satisfied I am with them," said St. John, the sixth seed who beat No. 3 James Green of Nebraska in overtime to face Alton. "There's nothing good about an overtime win, but they're wins to say the least."
St. John has missed considerable time due to a knee injury, but appeared to have as much, if not more, stamina when he shot in and finished the winning takedown.
"You feel the sense of people getting tired and you pick it up," St. John said. "It doesn't matter if you get tired or not."
St. John, who has reached the finals two times in as many years, wrestled with his knee taped up. He has wins over two formidable opponents and has always been described as tough by Brands.
"He's not to be denied in his own head," Brands said. "That's the difference between him and other guys."
Is it guts or superior conditioning that helped him and Marion win sudden-victory contests and Ramos to distance himself the last half of his match?
"It's probably both," St. John said. "You get in tough situations you have to grit your teeth and get through it. Put an exclamation point on the wins."
McDonough scored a takedown in the third period and added a late escape for a 4-3 win over Illinois' Jesse Delgado, advancing to the Big Ten finals for the third year.
Delgado continually reached McDonough's legs, causing a few scrambles. Finally, he capitalized on countering Delgado.
"I felt comfortable in there," McDonough said. "It's not where I want to be, but you have to be able to wrestle from any position. Fortunately, I started getting my legs back and that's where I got that go-behind."
Wrestlers have tried to slow the pace with McDonough. He said he has to keep working on creating his own opportunities to be offensive.
"He's a tough opponent," said McDonough. "He scraps hard, but there's always room to widen the gap and that's what I have to work to do, especially tomorrow."
McDonough will look for his 23rd straight win against No. 2 Zach Sanders of Minnesota in the finals.
Ramos and Marion followed by securing their first finals berth.
Marion's match played out similarly to St. John's. He exchanged escapes with Ohio State's Hunter Stieber, and then scored a takedown with 29 seconds left in sudden-victory period for the win after dropping conference semifinals the last two seasons.
He first mentioned he was more disappointed in not scoring sooner than being happy with reaching his the Big Ten finals.
"I didn't really like it," Marion said. "My pace could have been a lot higher."
Marion increased the intensity in the extra period. He eliminated strategy by making it more of a fight, focusing on his moves and not worrying about Stieber's.
"I think toward the end, I definitely put more pressure on him," Marion said. "I made it turn into a scrap instead of a chess game."
Marion gets another crack at NCAA champion Kellen Russell of Michigan. He lost two heartbreakers to Russell last year in overtime, including a tiebreaker decision in the NCAA semifinals.
"It's not him, it's me," Marion said. "I had him dead to rights twice. That's irrelevant at this point. It's time to put a stamp on it at the end of the match."
Ramos broke open a tight match, scoring the final six points in a 6-1 win over Futrell. It was his fourth win over Futrell and his fifth straight against him. His relentless attack paid dividends.
"He was playing the edges the whole time and everyone saw it, the ref knew it and he didn't want to call it," Ramos said. "I just have to finish those, and there is still room for improvement."
Ramos wore Futrell down. The Hawkeye sophomore felt his opponent begin to fold after he took his first lead.
"The first takedown," Ramos said. "He put his head on the mat. You saw his explosion right away in the second period. There was no more of that. It was out. He was done."
Now, Ramos has a shot at avenging his worst loss of the year to Ohio State's Logan Stieber, who won the first matchup, 7-0.
"It's good, exciting," Ramos said. "Redemption. I can't wait for tomorrow night."
And like St. John, Telford also beat a Penn State foe in the semifinals. The sixth-seeded freshman blanked No. 2 Cameron Wade, 5-0, following a solid 6-4 victory over No. 3 Ben Apland of Michigan to reach the semifinals.
Telford had his sights set on a finals match against Minnesota's Tony Nelson, who lost to the Hawkeyes' backup and reigning Big Ten champ Blake Rasing in last year's championship bout.
"I've got one more jump to do," said Telford, who beat out Rasing. "That's what I'm focused on right now."
Telford scored two reversals, neutralizing Wade's strength on top and then riding him for over a minute for an additional point.
"It's just a wrestling position," Telford said. "People say he's calm riding the legs like that. I was just wrestling the position."
Seeds don't mean much to Telford. He didn't embrace the idea that he scored two upsets Saturday.
"Upset is who you guys think is the best guy out there," Telford said. "It's not really an upset. It's just wrestling. Twelve guys at one weight class."
Evans was dominant, scoring a 17-2 technical fall over Nebraska's third-seeded Robert Kokesh. Evans will face Penn State's top-ranked and unbeaten David Taylor, who is one of three Nittany Lions finalists.
Ethen Lofthouse (174) and Grant Gambrall (184) dropped key semifinal matches against Goolden Gophers, who have five in the finals.
Lofthouse gave up a late reversal and a takedown in overtime against Logan Storley. Gambrall was edged by top-seeded Kevin Steinhaus.
"Lots of wins. Not all of them though," Brands said. "That's a big match at 174. That's what sticks in my mind.
"A big match at 165, too. A big match at 157," Brands said. "So, both ways I guess."
Consolation matches begin at noon with the finals 2 p.m. (Iowa time).
