Farmers market: Fresh veggies, fruits, colorful eggs highlight market at Pacific View
Finding healthy midweek treats for the family is easy at the Pacific View farmers market where seasonal veggies and fruits are so colorful and tempting it's hard to believe they're good for you.
At the Underwood Family Farms booth, carrots were available in three colors — orange, purple and yellow. And the radishes looks like holiday decorations in all their red, pink and white hues. But what is really exciting, according to Jessica Bridges. was the freshly-picked asparagus and the snap peas. Blueberries — one of the healthiest, and I think tastiest berries around — were also available at the market.
At the booth of Sycamore Hill Ranch of Fillmore, Jeanne Stehly explained that their honey is raw and delicious, coming from established beehives around the property. The raw honey, which is filtered, but otherwise untouched from hive to jar, is from wildflowers. Stehly said she's hoping for the lemon and orange blossoms to come out soon because they make for amazing honey.
The secret to the Shepherd Farms egg color is the hens that lay them. The Araucana chickens lay green, blue and pink eggs, which makes gathering them feel like Easter. according to Barbara Shepherd of Fillmore. "They are quite beautiful and fun to collect," Shepherd said.

Jack Trudel is a songwriter and guitarist from the San Francisco Bay Area. To date, he has written over 200 songs in a variety of genres, including pop, rock, alternative, and country. Recently, Jack has garnered praise from the music industry for his talents as a composer and lyricist. His songs are often characterized by their melodic hooks, honest emotions, poignant lyrics, and clever word play.
Many artists have recorded and/or performed his songs, including Tammie Davis, Keren Gaiser, Patty Speed, Magic Rage, Lee Jones, March Hare Band, Toby Humstad, and Jason Phillips Band. Three songs received airplay on a syndicated radio show featured on 400 radio stations in 21 countries. Another song received an honorable mention in the 14th Annual Billboard World Songwriting Contest.
Born and raised on American Top 40, Jack started writing songs at age 13. While in high school, he was a disc jockey and music director at two student-operated radio stations. Consequently, most of his songs are "radio friendly" and reflect an eclectic, yet mainstream appeal. Contrary to popular opinion, he believes it is possible to write commercial songs without necessarily selling out as a songwriter.
Over the years, Jack has collaborated with various artists and producers to hone his skills as a songwriter. Through his publishing company, Jack is actively engaged in licensing songs for film and television placement. Although music and poetry are separate and distinct disciplines, he has always strived to combine infectious melodies with poetic lyrics to captivate both readers and listeners alike.
Jack's tracks are filled with intimate stories, vivid images, and humorous anecdotes. Many songs illustrate his ability to turn a phrase as a wordsmith but defy categorization within any single genre. His approach to songwriting is to identify a phrase or idea and focus on the melody, which sets the mood and drives the lyrics.

FORTVILLE — After point per game averages of 41 and 33 aided a 20-5 record over the past two seasons, Mt. Vernon's isn't about to completely overhaul its successful double-wing offense.
At the same time, fans of the black and gold should prepare themselves for more Ferrari in MV's offensive attack in 2014 in place of the overwhelmingly Monster Truck-style that coach Doug Armstrong has favored his first three seasons in Fortville.
The reasoning is simple.
"We don't have the same type of players to run over everybody. We don't have the same type of players to run our normal double-wing attack," said Armstrong, the owner of 77 career wins as he embarks on his 14th season as a head coach. "We're going to spread things out a little bit – let the quarterback throw the ball, let the quarterback run the ball."
That statement is a bit surprising considering Mitch Walrod, last year's starting quarterback, averaged less than six passing attempts per game and rarely carried the ball. The new signal-caller stands to inherit much more ball-handling responsibility.
The quarterback derby is a four-man competition between seniors-to-be Caleb White (five-foot-10, 160 pounds and Brendan Bradfield (5-10, 165) plus rising sophomores Braydon Augustinovicz (5-10, 140) and Pete Werner (6-1, 170).
White has played quarterback in the past, but stuck to defensive back and kick/punt return duties in 2013. Werner earned starts in both the offensive and defense backfields as a true freshman, ranking fourth on the squad in rushing and tackles. Armstrong likes the athleticism Bradfield and Augustinovicz bring to the table.

Vivienne Westwood vs. Kate Middleton: It's fashion royalty taking on bona fide royalty—and already two black eyes are involved.
But they're not the kind of bruisers that you think.
The quirky British fashion designer recently called out Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, on her heavy use of eyeliner.
"I think she's got a problem with eye makeup!" Westwood told The Sunday Times Magazine, as reported by the Telegraph.
And that's not all...
RELATED: Kate's DIY Makeup: Did She Do a Good Job?
"The sharp line around her eyes make her look hard," the designer, who counts A-listers Helena Bonham Carter, Marisa Tomei and Jennifer Aniston as fans, explains. "Either she should be smudgy or wear none."
Westwood isn't impressed by Kate's fashion choices, either, which are intensely scrutinized and almost universally praised.
PHOTOS: Fashion Spotlight: Kate Middleton
"Let me put it this way. It seems to me that her image is 'ordinary woman.' Therefore, high street shopper," the 70-year-old couturier continues. "And I just think she should be an extraordinary woman, wherever she gets her clothes from."
Now that's pretty constructive criticism, if we're honest.
Westwood isn't the only person who isn't a fan of Kate's heavy kohl addiction.
PHOTOS: Wills & Kate Take California!
E!'s Fashion Police host George Kotsiopoulous weighed in on Mrs. Prince William's do-it-yourself wedding day beauty: "She looks absolutely beautiful, but less or no liner under her eye would have given a much cleaner look."
And Red Carpet Fashion Awards chimed in recently in an open letter to the royal, "You're heavy-handed. That blush! That eyeliner! The horror! (Shame no one has the heart—or balls—to tell you.)"
So what do you think of her royal highness' beauty? As the second-newest member of the modern monarchy, it's refreshing that Kate does her own makeup, but she could easily splurge on a makeup artist—or at least a few classes with the pros—if she wanted to.
But should she? Weigh in below!

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has said he is "insulted" by claims his recent backing of the Glazer family is motivated by personal gain.
It has been suggested that Ferguson stands to profit from the controversial initial public offering (IPO), which the Glazer family are now saying will only partly go against United's massive debts.
A clearly angered Ferguson on Thursday hit back, saying: "There is not a single grain of truth in this allegation. This is an accusation that insults me."

IU Rolls To 5-1 Victory Over Southern Indiana
April 2, 2012
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Five different players tallied goals for Indiana as they defeated the University of Southern Indiana, 5-1, on Saturday in spring soccer action at the U-School Field. Scoring goals for the Hoosiers were Megan Holland, Rebecca Candler, Jordan Woolums, Orianica Velasquez and Shannon Flower.
"A great weekend of progress against Division II side Southern Indiana," Indiana head coach Mick Lyon said. "Seven players started the game for the first time, which is valuable experience as this young team continues to develop."
Holland and Velasquez put IU on top early in the first of three 30-minute periods. Then Candler and Woolums scored the third and fourth goals, respectively, for Indiana. In the final period, Flower - who has been a goalkeeper for IU the last two seasons - was given the opportunity to play the field and put home a rebound goal for the fifth goal of the day.
Indiana will continue spring action on April 14 against Valparaiso at the U-School Field at 1 p.m. ET.

Friday, February 20, 2009

INDIANAPOLIS - Andre Smith has the highest profile among offensive linemen at this week's annual NFL scouting combine.Herman Johnson still carries more weight. Smith, the tackle, and Johnson, the guard, are two of the top rated players at their respective positions and could plug major holes for teams in need of pass protection and run blocking - if they can answer some big questions this week. For Smith, projected by some to be the top pick in April's draft, it comes down to the subtleties of playing right tackle or left. For Johnson, it's all about the pounds. 'I've lost more than 20 pounds since the Senior Bowl,' Johnson said after weighing in at 364 on Thursday. 'Some people said to drop some weight and show them what I could do.' Johnson has done his part. But showing off isn't a normal activity at the combine, where many top prospects skip the workouts and opt instead to showcase their skills on college campuses. Smith may be the exception because he hasn't yet decided whether to participate in Saturday's drills, something that could help scouts determine where he should play. The distinction could be huge. Right now, Smith is projected by some to be the No. 1 pick in April's draft, but the money and higher draft picks are usually spent on the coveted left tackles, who protect a right-handed quarterback's blindside. So if they determine Smith is a better fit on the right side, his draft stock could slip and his childhood dreams may take a hit. 'It's true, I asked my dad when I was in sixth grade, going into seventh grade, what was the highest paid position in the NFL,' Smith said. 'He told me.' Smith then grew to be 6-foot-4, 332 pounds and honed his skills into those needed to be an elite NFL tackle. Scouts may now have another question to ponder. Smith was suspended from Alabama's bowl game after it was reported he had dealings with an agent. That is a violation of NCAA rules and could have ended his college eligibility, though coach Nick Saban said he would have welcomed Smith back for his senior season. On Thursday, Smith, for the first time, denied the suspension was related to an agent, saying instead he hadn't chosen Alvin Keels to represent him until two weeks ago. 'It was just a bad decision,' he said. 'I went to talk to Coach Saban about it, and he thought it was best to protect the team. I hurt, I cried, I shed some tears, I talked to my teammates about it. But it had nothing to do with an agent.' Smith wouldn't elaborate on what the indiscretion was. Johnson is an intriguing prospect for another reason: Sheer size. At 6-foot-8, 364 pounds, he is easily the largest lineman in the draft, about 30 pounds heavier than any of the other roughly 330 players at the combine. That could give teams a formidable interior presence to block the increasingly bulky group of defensive tackles that stuff the run. But 364 is paltry compared to his freshman reporting weight at LSU - 411. So Johnson is accustomed to the stares, questions and even the weighty nicknames such as 'The House,' given to him by former LSU teammate Marcus Spears because, well, Spears thought he was as big as a house. Apparently, it's in the genes. His birth weight, 15 pounds, 14 ounces, is considered the Louisiana record, and the doctor who delivered Johnson still calls on his birthday to remind him that mark has not been broken. And in a league where bigger is not necessarily better, Johnson acknowledges he still needs to trim down. 'I'd like to get down to 350,' he said. 'I've been the biggest and tallest since Day One. But I really didn't have the right type of information as far as nutrition. Right now, I'm training and they've basically told me what I need to eat every day. So I'm eating six small meals a day.' So who has the upper hand in this heavyweight bout? It depends on the perspective. With Johnson shedding weight, some scouts have talked to him about possibly moving to tackle, a position he hasn't played since his freshman season. That would put him in a clear battle with Smith. Clearly, Smith is the more polished tackle and would be an upgrade for many teams picking in the top 10. All the players can do now is work out and, of course, wait to see how scouts rank them on draft boards. 'If I have to play right tackle, it would take a little time to learn the technique,' Smith said. 'But at the end of April, I think that hard work will pay off.'

man's evening dress for semiformal occasions, 1889, named for Tuxedo Park, N.Y., site of a country club where it first was worn in 1886. The name is an attractive subject for elaborate speculation, e.g.:
The Wolf tribe in New York was called in scorn by other Algonquians tuksit: round foot, implying that they easily fell down in surrender. In their region thus came the names Tuxedo and Tuxedo Lake, which were acquired by the Griswold family in payment of a debt. There the family established the exclusive Tuxedo Club, and there in the late 1880s Griswold Lorillard first appeared in a dinner jacket without tails, a tuxedo. By a twist of slang, one may now refer to a man in a tuxedo as a 'wolf. [Joseph T. Shipley, "The Origins of English Words," 1984]But in another version of the story, p'tuksit was the Algonquian word for "wolf," the animal, perhaps from the shape of its paws. The authoritative Bright, however, says the tribe's name probably is originally a place name, perhaps Munsee Delaware (Algonquian) p'tuck-sepo "crooked river." Short form tux is attested from 1922.

William McChesney Martin, Jr. (born December 17, 1906, St. Louis, Missouri – died July 28, 1998, Washington, D.C.) was the ninth and longest-serving Chairman of the United States Federal Reserve, serving from April 2, 1951 to January 31, 1970 under five Presidents.
William McChesney Martin, Jr. was born to William McChesney Martin and Rebecca Woods. Martin's connection to the Federal Reserve was forged through his family heritage. In 1913, Martin's father was summoned by President Woodrow Wilson and Senator Carter Glass to help design the Federal Reserve Act that would establish the Federal Reserve System on December 23 that same year. His father later served as governor and then president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
Martin was a graduate of Yale University, where his formal education was in English and Latin rather than economics. However, he still maintained an intense interest in the subject through his father. His first job after graduation was at the St. Louis brokerage firm of A. G. Edwards & Sons, where he became a full partner after only two years. From there Martin's rapid rise in the financial world landed him a seat on the New York Stock Exchange in 1931, just two years after the stock market crash at the start of the Great Depression. During the early part of that decade, Martin's work towards increasing regulation of the stock market led to his election to the exchange's board of governors in 1935. There he worked with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to attempt to reestablish confidence in the stock market and prevent future crashes. He eventually became president of the New York Stock Exchange at age 31, leading newspapers to label him the "boy wonder of Wall Street." Like his tenure as governor on the exchange, Martin's presidency focused on cooperating with the SEC to increase regulation of the stock exchange.
During World War II, Martin was drafted from the exchange into the U.S. Army. There he supervised the disposal of raw materials on the Munitions Allocation Board. He was also a liaison between the Army and Congress and the supervisor of the lend-lease program with the Soviet Union.
Martin's return to civilian life was also a return to the financial world, but this time it was on the side of the federal government. Harry S. Truman, a fellow Democrat, appointed Martin as head of the Export-Import Bank, which he operated for three years. It was at this institution that he was publicly viewed as a "hard banker." He insisted that loans be sound, secure investments; on that principle he opposed the State Department on multiple occasions for making loans that he saw as being motivated purely by politics. On those grounds he would not permit the Export-Import bank to be used as a fund for international relief.
Martin finished his career with the Export-Import bank when he was called to the Treasury to be the assistant secretary for monetary affairs. Martin had been with the Treasury for about two years when its conflict with the Federal Reserve reached its climax. During the period immediately preceding the final negotiations with the Fed, Secretary of the Treasury John Snyder went into the hospital. Under these circumstances, Martin became the head negotiator for the Treasury. From the Treasury's perspective, Martin was a valuable representative. He had a thorough understanding of the Federal Reserve System and of financial markets; furthermore, he was viewed as an ally of Truman, who strongly opposed Fed independence. During negotiations, Martin reestablished contact between the Treasury and Fed, which had been forbidden under Snyder.
With Robert Rouse, Woodlief Thomas, and Winfield Riefler of the Fed, Martin negotiated the 1951 Accord. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and Secretary Snyder accepted the Accord and its compromises, and it was approved by both institutions. The Chairman of the Board of Governors at the time of ratification was Thomas B. McCabe, who would officially resign from his position just six days after the statement of the Accord was released. The Truman Administration saw the resignation of McCabe as the perfect opportunity to recapture the Fed almost immediately after it had supposedly broken away. Truman selected Martin to be the next Chairman of the Board of Governors, and the Senate approved his appointment on March 21, 1951.
Contrary to Truman's expectations, however, Martin guarded the Fed's independence, not just through Truman's administration but also through the four administrations that would follow. To the present day, his term as Chairman is the longest term the Board of Governors has seen. Over nearly two decades, Martin would achieve global recognition as a central banker. He was able to pursue independent monetary policies while still paying heed to the desires of various administrations. Although the objectives of Martin's monetary policy were low inflation and economic stability, he rejected the idea that the Fed could pursue its policies through the targeting of a single indicator and instead made policy decisions by examining a wide array of economic information. As Chairman, he institutionalized this approach within the proceedings of the FOMC, gathering the opinions of all governors and presidents within the System before making decisions. As a result, his decisions were often supported by unanimous votes on the FOMC. His most famous quote about his central banking philosophy was that the job of the Federal Reserve is "to take away the punch bowl just as the party gets going, referring to the need to raise interest rates when the economy is at its most active.
He was selected as the administrator-designate of the Emergency Stabilization Agency; part of a secret group created by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1958 that would serve in the event of a national emergency that became known as the Eisenhower Ten.
After the presidential election of 1960, Republican Party candidate Richard Nixon blamed his defeat on Martin's tight-money policies (NYTimes Magazine, 01/20/2008.)
Externally, Martin was perceived as being the dominant decision maker at the Fed. Throughout his tenure, he defended the right of the Fed to take actions that would sometimes conflict with what the President wanted. He regularly asserted that the Fed was responsible to Congress and not to the White House.
William McChesney Martin, Jr., ended his term as Chairman of the Board of Governors on January 30, 1970. On that day, his career in public service ended, but he continued to work, holding a variety of directorships for a group of nearly 24 firms and nonprofit institutions for almost 30 more years, such as serving as a trustee on the board of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
On July 28, 1998, at the age of 91, he died at his home in Washington, D.C..

Justin Bieber Becomes 1st Artist in History With Five #1 Albums Before Turning 19
As his brand new album, BELIEVE ACOUSTIC (released January 29 th) soars to a #1 Soundscan debut on first week sales of 211,000 units, RBMG/Island Def Jam Music Group global superstar Justin Bieber the #1 most-followed person on Twitter with more than 33.9 million followers, and this weekend's (February 9 th) host and musical guest of NBC's Saturday Night Live, now becomes "the only artist in history to have five #1 albums before turning 19," as declared by Billboard.
"With this week's incredible success of BELIEVE ACOUSTIC, Justin continues to impress everyone with the magnitude of his artistry," said Steve Bartels, President & COO, Island Def Jam Music Group."His vision for BELIEVE ACOUSTIC was an organic extension of his growth as a musician on tour and in the studio, consummately devoted to his fans. The album reflects an artist who is not afraid to step outside of every stereotype, regardless of his age. Congratulations, Justin."
With BELIEVE ACOUSTIC shooting to #1 on iTunes in over 63 countries (including the U.S.), the Prince Of Pop, who turns 19 on March 1 st, also becomes "just the 10 th act to score a #1 album in four consecutive years," again according to Billboard. Justin joins a rare A-list of stars who accomplished the "consecutive" chart feat to date, led by Jay-Z (7 years), the Beatles (6 years), and Paul McCartney/Wings (5 years), to name the top three record holders.
BELIEVE ACOUSTIC offers acoustic versions of eight songs from Justin's Worldwide multi-platinum #1 album of 2012, Believe, including Worldwide superhits "Boyfriend," "As Long As You Love Me" (featuring Big Sean), and "Beauty And A Beat" (featuring Nicki Minaj). Delighted listeners will also find acoustic renditions of album tracks "Take You" and "Be Alright," as well as "She Don't Like The Lights" (originally a bonus track on the deluxe version of Believe). All acoustic tracks were co-produced by Justin Bieber and his guitarist Dan Kanter.

Now that the draft order is set, we can begin to narrow down the candidates to go No. 1 overall. The one obvious candidate is Ndamukong Suh. He is the top rated player on my draft board and many others.
There's no denying that Suh is an elite talent. Personally, I think he may be the top defensive prospect in 15+ years, perhaps since Dan Wilkinson was the No. 1 overall pick in 1994. But is Suh really a good fit in St. Louis?
Adam Carriker and Clifton Ryan were their starting defensive tackles this season and the Rams have been pleased with both. Ryan is a restricted free agent, so it is possible that an opening could be created if he signs elsewhere. However, if Suh were not an option, it is likely the Rams would make every effort to re-sign Ryan.
The question Rams have to ask themselves is: is Suh such an elite prospect that he is worth selecting despite the fact that his position one of the few strong areas of their roster?
Another option would be move Carriker, Ryan or Suh to defensive end. Leonard Little is an unrestricted free agent and appears unlikely to return, creating a hole on the defensive line. Carriker would be the best option to move outside, since he played defensive end for the majority of his career at Nebraska. However, he's bulked up to make the transition to defensive tackle and may no longer be capable of providing the pass rush that the Rams need on the outside.
The Rams recorded just 25 sacks this past season and desperately need someone capable of getting to the quarterback. As good as Chris Long is, he will never be a consistent 10+ sack guy. He is a run stopper, not a sack artist. Putting Carriker, Ryan or Suh opposite Long at defensive end would only further limit the Rams ability to pressure the quarterback.
What the Rams really need is a franchise quarterback. Sam Bradford and Jimmy Clausen are both options but few, if any, teams will have them higher than Suh on their draft board. Are the Rams willing to pass over higher rated players to reach for a position of need? General Manager Billy Devaney is only in his second year on the job so its too early to know how he's likely to handle this situation.
The best case scenario for the Rams is to entice a team to trade up for Suh. The Bucs would appear to be the most likely candidate to make that move. If the Rams pass on Suh, the Lions will take him without even thinking twice, meaning the Bucs have zero chance of landing Suh in their current position. The Bucs would have to package this year's 1st and 2nd-round picks at a minimum to move up two spots, but its possible that they will covet Suh enough to make that move.
Ultimately its too early to tell who the Rams will select, but it would be difficult to imagine a scenario where the to pick is someone other than Suh, Bradford or Clausen. Its likely that this is a rare year where we really don't know who will go No. 1 until the day of the draft. The Rams should keep their phone lines open until the time on the clock runs out

Black&White furniture items seem to be more and more of a trend this day. And why shouldn't they? Classic colors with the ability to go with anything, beautiful and eye-catching, black and white sure deserve a fashion section of their own. Max Sofa was created by Antonio Citterio and can be found on Flexform USA. Max comes with a simple, minimalist design and yet a very creative shape. The back resembles a twisted candy cane, which gives it a bold look. Other than that, the sofa seems pretty docile which is why it would fit perfectly in a simple and tasteful interior.

A couple of months ago we reported that chef Phillip Foss would be opening a bricks and mortar fine dining restaurant called El, next to his Meaty Balls Mobile food truck kitchen at 2419 W. 14th St.
Today the chef announced that he will start taking reservations for the six-seat restaurant that is slated to open on July 7, serving only tasting menus with a BYOB policy. Kind of like Schwa, but even smaller--although the chef expects it to eventually expand.
Reservations will be taken through email only at email@example.com and diners will be chosen on a lottery basis. El will serve a single 6 p.m. seating each night Thursday through Saturdays. You can read the launch diary for the restaurant and see its menus on Foss' blog www.thepickledtongue.com.
Let the reservation race begin.

By Kathryn G. Menu
When the Sag Harbor Zoning Board of Appeals approved the addition of 21 seats at LT Burger this fall, exempting the restaurant from having to fulfill parking requirements in the village code tied to seating, members knew it would likely result in a glut of applications by other eateries.
On Tuesday night, board members attempted to stave off that flood of requests, suggesting Bay Partners LLC, the company that owns the Tutto il Giorno property, should approach the Sag Harbor Village Board of Trustees rather than the ZBA in its quest to gain 21 additional outdoor seats at the Italian restaurant on Bay Street.
In order to legally add 21 seats at Tutto il Giorno, Bay Partners would need to either provide seven new parking spaces or earn a variance from the ZBA. Until 2009, the village allowed commercial property owners to pay into a parking fund when coming before the ZBA to seek a variance for parking. The applicant still had to show the ZBA the additional seating would not have a detrimental affect on the community, but if approved, it would be able to pay into a village fund earmarked to create more parking.
However, in 2009, the fund was abandoned during a village zoning code revision, as there were few ways to create more parking in the village.
On Tuesday, Tutto il Giorno manager Rachel Luria argued the restaurant has the space for the seating in its outdoor dining area, that outdoor dining is largely shielded from Bay Street by landscaping and that the restaurant is surrounded by daytime businesses not open during the busiest dining hours.
"You have every right to be before this board, but my question is are you in the right place," said village attorney Fred Thiele, Jr. Thiele noted the argument being made by Luria is one that would be made by any restaurant in Sag Harbor, which is if the village looked at other benchmarks outside of parking—like the fire code or wastewater treatment availability—more seats could be easily achieved.
Mr. Thiele suggested what restaurant owners may be looking for is a change in the village code—a legislative decision that can only be made by the village board.
The village has discussed changing seating and parking restrictions for restaurants, although that conversation was largely tabled last year after building inspector Tim Platt noted if all restaurants were allowed to use the fire code as the basis for seating, the village would need upwards of 300 new parking spaces.
"I think, in my opinion, if we were to grant a variance it would have to be for something very unique to this restaurant that differentiates it from all, if not most, of the restaurants in the village," said board member Tim McGuire.
The application was tabled until the board's March 18 meeting.

2012 Faculty/Staff ICARE Giving Campaign
Dear Pfeiffer Faculty and Staff:
We are pleased to announce the 2012-2013 ICARE Faculty and Staff Campaign, designed to enable each of us to actively participate in the improvement of not only our physical surroundings, but the overall experience that we are able to provide to our students.
Goal. Last year, 62 Pfeiffer faculty and staff (35%) gave a collective total of $37,357 to the Pfeiffer Fund, along with various other programming and capital projects. This year, our goal is to achieve at least a 50% giving percentage and $50,000 in funding to support the various programs and projects that are meaningful to us on the Misenheimer and Charlotte campuses.
Time Frame. A campaign committee made up of faculty and staff from each of our campuses will be in direct communication with you in the coming weeks. During that time, you will receive updates on our progress as a whole, along with departmental break-downs. Our goal is to complete the campaign by September 27, in conjunction with the "ICARE About Pfeiffer Because…†Homecoming weekend—so dubbed by a member of the Class of 2012 in honor of the meaningful academic and personal experiences had by our students, and in celebration of the ICARE (Curb Appeal and Restoration Enhancement) program's progress over the past year.
What the Campaign will Support. Your gift can be designated to one or more of the following areas:
• ICARE Misenheimer Project
• ICARE Charlotte Project
• The Pfeiffer Fund—Help provide educational assistance to our students
• Restricted Giving—Direct your gift to the program or project fund of your choice
Thanking Our Board Chair. Dave McIlquham, Chair of the Board of Trustees, championed the ICARE campaign during his tenure as interim president. Prior to that time, Dave provided new mattresses for all the dormitory beds, and has made many significant gifts designed to improve the experience of our students both in and out of the classroom. His most recent gift came over the summer in the form of a $40,000 challenge designed to encourage others within the University family to increase their giving. Both the Trustees and the Alumni Board have actively accepted his challenge and for that we are extraordinarily grateful. Please join us in offering a note of thanks to Dave, which will be presented, along with the campaign results at the October 12 Board meeting. Visit www.pfeiffer.edu/fscampaign12 to submit your note to Dave online.
Celebration Event. Those who choose to participate in this campaign will be invited to a celebratory event in early October, and will be eligible for door prizes during this festive reception.
Enclosed you will find an employee payroll deduction form for your convenience—this may be completed and returned to the Advancement Office on the Misenheimer campus. Again, thank you for all you do to support Pfeiffer and our students each and every day.

Chicago Man Sentenced to 20 Years for Cocaine Conspiracy
Madison, Wis. - John W. Vaudreuil, United States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Deward Johnson, 31, Chicago, was sentenced today by Judge Barbara B. Crabb to 20 years in prison following his conviction for conspiracy to possess cocaine with intent to distribute.
Between December 2009 and December 10, 2010, Johnson and his co-conspirators, Anthony Dawson and Romaill Cox, transported cocaine from Chicago to Wausau, where they re-sold it or had others sell it on their behalf. Johnson and his co-conspirators also manufactured the powder cocaine into crack cocaine after transporting it to Wausau.
Cox is presently serving an eight-year prison term for his role in the conspiracy and Dawson is serving a 41-month prison term for his role.
Judge Crabb noted that Johnson deserved a lengthy prison sentence based on his activity as the leader of the conspiracy, the large quantity of drugs involved, and his lengthy criminal history, which includes three prior felonies for serious drug offenses in Illinois and Minnesota. Judge Crabb also stated that Johnson presented a serious danger to the community and noted that Johnson failed to support any of his four children which he fathered with three different women.
The charges against all of the defendants are the result of an investigation conducted by the Marathon County Sheriff's Department, Special Investigations Unit. The prosecution of this case has been assigned to Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul W. Connell.

Which of the following is false?
A) Temperature, concentration, and surface area affect biochemical reactions.
B) Enzymes affect biochemical reactions by speeding them up.
C) The energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur is called activation energy.
D) Carbon dioxide is the most abundant molecule found within the body.
2 Answers | Add Yours
The question asks which one is false, not which is true. C is indeed true, but so are A and B.
Answer D is false: Carbon dioxide is not the most abundent molecule in the body.
The activation energy, also called the energy barrier represents the minimum value of the energy for the chemical reaction to happen.
This activation energy can be lowered by a substance which is called catalyst.
Therefore, the correct option is C) The energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur is called activation energy.

Fête Nationale - Quatorze Juillet
La Marseillaise sung by Placido Domingo
It's July 14 and it's Bastille Day!
Our French friends, folks of French descent (my mother was a Ducharme) and Francophiles everywhere won't need the translation of La Marseillaise, the French national anthem, but here is the first verse in the original and English. (Full text and translation here.)
Allons enfants de la patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie
L'étendard sanglant est levé ! (bis)
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes,
Mugir ces féroces soldats ?
Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras
Égorger nos fils, nos compagnes !
Aux armes, citoyens !
Formez vos bataillons !
(Formons nos bataillons!)
Marchez! Marchez!
(Marchons! Marchons!)
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons !
Let's rise, children of the fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Against us tyranny's
Bloody flag is raised! (repeat)
In the countryside, do you hear
The roaring of these fierce soldiers?
They come right to our arms
To slit the throats of our sons, our friends!
Grab your weapons, citizens!
Form your batallions!
(Let's form our batallions!)
March! March!
(Let us march! Let us march!)
May impure blood
Water our fields!
Joyeux Quatorze Juillet!

Dear John, The other day, my wife and I got into a fight. It was pretty serious. She ended up calling the police. I was pretty scared, but I decided to wait for them to arrive by sitting on the porch.
When they got there, my wife came out and spoke to one of the officers and I spoke to another.
Anyway, she gave the police permission to search our house for some drugs I keep there. I told the cops that it was my house and they needed a warrant to search it, but they ignored me.
My wife showed them the stash I keep in my dresser drawer. I was arrested for domestic violence and possession of a controlled substance. What can I do?
Searched Sam
Police are generally not allowed to search someone's house without a warrant. One exception to this rule is when consent to search the house is given by someone with authority to give permission. If your wife lives in the house, then it is reasonable for the police to believe that she can consent to the search.
When two people live in a house, only one person needs to consent to the search. However, if the other person living in the house objects to the search, then anything found resulting from the search is generally only able to be used against the person who gave consent. This means that the drugs found might be used against your wife, but not you.
Certainly, there are more exceptions and rules than could be discussed here. However, I hope this gives you some hope that part of your problem with the law may be resolved.

Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund (FSRRX) primarily invests in a combination of securities with inflation-fighting potential: inflation-protected debt securities, such as U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Bonds; floating rate loans; commodity-linked notes and related investments; and real estate-related securities including real estate investment trusts (REITs).
Diversified market investing
Strategic Real Return focuses its investments on four markets that have historically responded to different economic factors. As a result, changes in the performance of the individual markets have shown the tendency to offset each other and reduce the volatility of the overall portfolio — although past performance is no guarantee of future results. Strategic Real Return Fund focuses on the following markets:
- U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Bonds (U.S. TIPS) — bonds whose principal value is adjusted semiannually to rise and fall based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is considered a broad measure of inflation.
- Floating rate high yield bank loans — securitized loans of non-investment-grade companies whose coupons "float" based on a fixed premium over a market rate for money, such as LIBOR, and thus tend to track the direction of interest rates.
- Commodity-linked notes & related investments— structured notes whose performance is linked to the performance of the Dow Jones AIG Commodities Index (associated with related investments in short-duration investment-grade securities). The performance of commodities has also shown a positive correlation to the CPI.
- REITs and other real estate-related securities (e.g., common and preferred stocks of REITs, collateralized mortgage-backed securities and other real-estate related debt, with an emphasis on lower quality debt securities) — stock and bonds that have historically demonstrated less sensitivity to interest rates than conventional investment-grade bonds and have performed better during past inflationary periods than REITs alone.
Things to keep in mind
- Bond funds contain interest rate risk (as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall); the risk of issuer default; and inflation risk.
- Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer.
- Investments in foreign securities, especially those in emerging markets, involve risks in addition to those of U.S. investments, including increased political and economic risks as well as exposure to currency fluctuations.
- Floating rate loans may not be fully collateralized, which may cause the floating rate loan to decline significantly in value.
- Commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying instruments or measures and their value may be affected by the performance of the overall commodities baskets as well as weather, disease and regulatory developments.
- Changes in real estate values or economic conditions can have a positive or negative effect on issuers in the real estate industry, which may affect the fund.
- Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions.
- Although the fund is invested across a variety of fixed-income and equity related securities, it is considered non-diversified as it can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund.

Cellulite & Cellulite Treatment
Need more information on this topic?
What is Cellulite?
Uneven, Lumpy Skin on Thighs, Hips, Buttocks, Upper Arms and/or Abdomen Stretch Marks on Abdomen, Thighs and/or Breasts. Cellulite is not the result of too much fat in your body. The actual cause of cellulite occurs internally with the weakening of the skin cells and connective tissue. As the skin sustains damage from a myriad of sources, such as ageing and the environment, it loses its essential water and weakens. Cellulite and stretch marks are caused by skin that has deteriorated and dehydrated to the point where buoyant fat cells trapped just below the skin are able to push into the dermis, the middle layer of skin, and show through the surface.
If we are to repair cellulite and stretch marks, we need to focus on repairing the dermis, not on burning fat. By simply adding key skin hydrating, cell-fortifying nutrients to our diets we can rebuild, re-hydrate, and revitalize our skin, forcing stubborn fat cells back invisibly below the surface – and keeping them there.
- Cannot be burned off with exercise
- Is not the build-up of toxins under the skin
- Is found in all different body types
- Is not due to weight
- Is found in the fat layer of the skin
Why do I have cellulite?
It's not because you've been slacking off at the gym. Cellulite is not a "fat" problem – rather it is a "dermal" and "cellular" problem. The actual cause of cellulite is water damage, and weakening of the skin cells and connective tissue due to environmental damage, ageing and hormones.
Straight from Dr Murad:
"Cellulite affects 90% of women, regardless of age or weight. Stretch marks affect 70% of adolescent females and 90% of pregnant women."
Cellulite and stretch marks are no longer an inevitable fact of life. Banish the most stubborn beauty problem women face today with this scientifically advanced, comprehensive regimen. Murad's Firm and Tone Regimen is proven to hydrate, firm and stimulate blood flow, leaving you with tightened, supple, smooth skin that youl be proud to show off.
Why is Dr Murad's solution so Revolutionary?
What makes it different? Murad understands the root causes of cellulite, and is therefore able to prescribe a curative and preventive anti-cellulite program that treats the problem from the inside where it lives, as well as from the outside. This program is not a single use approach spot treatment, but rather an inclusive skincare program.
Do topical skincare product really work?
Murad's Firm and Tone Serum minimizes the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks by hydrating skin and encouraging circulation to help restore elasticity and firmness. Used in conjunction with proper nutrition and supplements, this topical product has been scientifically proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite by up to 69%.
Murad's new 8-week program consists of topical skincare and internal supplements to give your body the nutrients it needs to repair the weakened skin tissue, thereby diminishing the damage that leads to cellulite and stretch marks.

The M249 Squad Automatic Weapon; 1000 Rounds per Minute Can't be Wrong
M249 Squad Automatic Weapon, My Experience
The M249 Squad Automatic Weapon was issued to the Marine Corps Infantry circa 1984. It was designed as the replacement for the bipod mounted M16A1 automatic rifle. The push for the introduction of the SAW was mainly to fill the gap left by the Browning Automatic Rifle, (BAR) that was used in WW I through Korea.
The M249 SAW is quite the impressive weapons system. It currently fills the gap between the M16A2 and the M240G machine gun for the team and squad in infantry units. Given enough experience, SAW gunners come to understand they are real machine gunners. They must act together as machine guns do to provide mutual support and create the "wall of steel" necessary to take out troop concentrations, provide cover fire for maneuver elements, and engage enemy machine guns.
The lesser experienced SAW gunner act alone, not allowing the squad leader to take advantage of the full power of the weapon. I can not blame the improper use of the weapon the gunner alone. I ran into, and continue to see, squad leaders who do not properly employ the weapon to the squad's advantage.
I carried the SAW for about two years. That may seem like a long time, but consider this: From the official Marine doctrine point-of-view, the senior member of the team, other then the team leader himself who carries the M203, carries the M249. I was not the senior member of the fire team for two years. When I came in, I was thrown the M249 SAW and told not to fall behind, loose it, or break it. I was able to do most of that without difficulty, but being a Marine, I did break the weapon a few times.
Browning Automatic Rifle
Initially, I thought carrying this 16 Lbs weapon (22 Lbs with ammo) was going to be pure hell. I was partially correct. I did hate dragging SAW up and down hills, through the jungle and sand, cleaning all the nooks and crannies and getting stuck in every tight space. But eventually, I gained strength and heart in my duties and began to really enjoy the weapon. I could reach out and touch just about anything with solid accuracy and watch it chew up the target in mere moments. The system rarely broke down and took one heck of a beating. Plus, I was usually set in a position where I could engage targets to max visibility, be that 5 meters, or 1000 meter. These avenues of approach were magnets; drawing people and vehicles into my sights.
Great marine Corps Training
High Stepping
An E Company 2/24 Marine performs an individual rush toward the objective on the Mobile Attack Course aboard Camp Pendleton, Ca during annual training.
The best freewheeling training I have had with the SAW was in the Philippines and 29 Palms. In the Philippines we were able to see the effect our squad had on a small hut. The hut was made out of cinderblock, bamboo and cardboard. For this luxury, we traded the locals some expended brass. Simply stated, we fired on the hut, under the instruction of our squad leader, until nothing was left standing. It took all of about 3 minutes. It was an incredible display of the concentrated power a Marine rifle squad can expend on a single target. Definitely a confidence booster.
29 Palms can hold some of the best weapons training in the continental United States. I say can because, every time I go there, the rules change slightly, restricting the Marines just a bit more in the name of safety. There is a saying in the Marine Corps, "For every stupid rule, there was a stupid Marine." In civilian-speak that means: Every time some Marine pulls the trigger in error, sometimes killing other Marines, rules are put in place to ensure that it can never happen again. This regularly results in restrictions of training. Its not that we can't train, its how we train that is restricted, so some of the more daring or chancy training is limited or completely excluded.
The range 400 series is quite a ball-buster. It is notorious for weeding out the weak hearted and sucking the wind out of the most physically fit Marine, but it is also a core component in brining squad, platoon and company training together. This range series is especially hard because it is in the desert. I have never been to 29 Palms when it was cool during the day, it was always blistering hot. The heat beating down on you, combined with a tough range can really challenge the best.
Opportunities for Improvement
My complaints against the M249 are with the Blank Firing Adapter (BFA), the bipods, the sling attachment and finally the weapon design, as it relates to cleaning.
Blank Firing Adapter (BFA)
For years Marines have been complaining about the BFA on the SAW. It never seems to fit right. This means you don't have a solid block on the end of the barrel to cause enough blowback to keep the weapon moving through the cycle of operation. What I ended up doing was pulling the cotter pin out of the BFA to allow the block to sink deeper into the BFA, thereby getting a tighter seal on the end of the weapon. Now this is not a problem as long as you have a multi-tool, or pair of pliers available during training. Once the BFA latches on securely, it does not want to come off.
The manufacturer should either create a longer screw assembly for the BFA, or come up with one specifically for the SAW. The disadvantage in specially designing one for the SAW is that it is another piece of gear that is only good for one weapon system. The current program allows for either the M16 or the M249 to use the same BFA.
The bipods on the saw are weak. I like the way the bipods telescope, but once they are extended, the gunner must lean into the weapon to "fix" the bipods into a stationary position. Granted, we don't want the system to increase in weight much, but a few more ounces would not hurt if it were put into the thicker bipods.
Sling attachment
The sling for the SAW is well designed, but the attachment to the SAW was a problem until recently. Now most SAWs have a heat shield over the top of the barrel to protect both the gunner and the sling from burns. Prior to that little invention, most gunners would try to remove their sling prior to firing because the weapon would heat up and melt through the sling that would inadvertently get tossed on top of the barrel. It is interesting that the manufacturer and the Marine Corps are willing to increase the weight of the saw to prevent burns, but not to strengthen the bipods.
Weapon Design
The SAW is built like a box. The receiver assembly has more nooks and crannies for carbon, dirt and brass to build up in then necessary. The manufacturer could take a lesson from the car builders: something a little smoother and sleeker would be nice. I am not talking the elliptical design of a Jaguar, but even Jeep figured out the Box was not the best design. It is a pain to clean the receiver assembly. An experienced SAW gunner can pull carbon out of the best-cleaned weapon. To really clean the receiver assembly, you need a dunk tank with solvent. And since that is not available to most Marines, unless you hit Quantico, Virginia or the School of Infantry, most weapons are picked at, scraped at and illegally disassembled in order to get the weapon clean. Smoothing out those box corners would also likely lighten the weapon a bit too.

The post office at Bangor was suddenly closed for repairs in January, and there's no indication from the landlord when things might be fixed.

love the scripture. like them 'cause they are not too "old lady"
These are my go-to cards for sending to church members.
They are great--we send to every active member on their birthday.
I bought 6 boxes of birthday, get well and thinking of you cards. They were all very nice and averaged only 50 cents per card figuring in the free boxes I got. I send to a lot of people in our church so can't afford to pay $3 or more per card so these were a good solution for me!
these cards are for your special friends who appeciate life.....beautiful God-felt sayings....good quality
