Varieties of Grapes: There are between 6,000 and 8,000 varieties of grapes that have been named and described but only 40 to 50 varieties are important commercially. These varieties range in color from green and white to red and purple.
Different Varieties:
- Emperor grapes are the favorite variety during the Thanksgiving and Christmas celebration. These grapes are large, long, and full-bodied. The flesh is light red to reddish-purple, seeded, neutral in flavor.
- Thompson seedless grapes are grown in California by Mr. William Thompson. These grapes are large, and full-bodied; the fruit is medium-sized, and ellipsoidal. The color is greenish-white to light golden. They are seedless, firm and tender, and are very sweet when fully ripened.
- Concord grape is the principal juice grape. It is blue-black in color, medium sized, and tough-skinned. It is also used as a table grape.
Classification: There are four classes of grapes: wine grapes, table grapes, raisin grapes, and sweet (unfermented) juice grapes. The big grape producing states, in addition to California, are New York, Michigan, and Washington.
Grapes Health Benefits:
- Quick source of energy that is why it is called "nectar of god".
- An alkaline fruit which helps greatly in eliminating the acid from the system, thus benefiting the kidneys and liver.
- The juice of grapes is considered as a natural remedy for gout, a degenerative disease that is caused by too much acid in the body.
- The juice is very good for curing migraine. To get the best benefit drink it early in the morning.

- Red grapes can help boost your good cholesterol (HDL cholesterol) and prevent blood platelets from clumping together and forming a deadly blood clot. Research showed that a glass of red wine with evening meal is beneficial in controlling hypertension and lowering the risk of heart attack.
- Good for the lung health. Study showed a glass of red wine daily reduces the chance of lung cancer.
- Beneficial for those recuperating from an illness, and those who have anemia (because it is a good source of iron, a blood builder) and fatigue. In fact, during Mahatma Gandhi's long fasts, he would drink grape juice to keep his strength up.

Grapeseed Extract Health Benefits:
- Source of high concentration of Resveratrol, an antioxidant that can protect the skin cells from damage.
- Enhances the production of collagen and elastin which is important for strong and healthy looking skin. Therefore taking Grapeseed supplements daily may help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, stretch marks, and saggy skin.
- Suppress the development of different types of cancers and may induce apoptosis – a process that triggers the self-destruction and elimination of damaged cells.
- Help improve joint flexibility.
- Help strengthen the blood vessels. Strong blood vessel can help prevent leg cramps, varicose veins, numbness of the legs and arms.
- Help improve symptoms of minor eyestrain.

- Help reduce the appearance of cellulite.
- Help with liver damage and other side effects caused by chemotherapy medication.
Grapeseed Oil Benefits: Grapeseed oil is a light flavored oil, extracted by cold-pressing the grapeseeds, after they have been used to make wine.
- Contains a high amount of linoleic acid, a fatty acid essential for the health of the skin and cell membranes; that is why it is used in many skincare products.
- Help in reducing varicose veins. To get the benefit, after every bath massage your legs using this oil.
- Help prevent sunburn and reduce the appearance of age spots.
- Has an astringent property that can tighten the skin; it is therefore beneficial preventing saggy skin.
Culinary Uses of Grapeseed Oil: Grapeseed oil has a high smoke point that is why it is widely used in cooking. Grapeseed oil is used in baking, frying, salad dressings, marinades and sauces. It can also be used as an ingredient in making mayonnaise.
- Since grapes are sprayed in the farms, be sure to wash them carefully in running water before eating.
- Experts believe that the red and black varieties of grapes are more beneficial than the white and green varieties.
- When buying grape juice it is best to buy the concord juice and be sure it is unsweetened.
- Though grapeseed extract is considered safe, it is always advised to consult a physician before taking grapeseed extract when on any medication.
- Grape skins and seeds are high in fiber, but sometimes are irritating in conditions of colitis and ulcers, so they should not be eaten by persons who have these conditions.
- Avoid eating grapes if you have blood sugar problem.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton welcomed Iran's stated willingness to restart negotiations and called it an "important step."
In comments to reporters after a meeting Friday at the State Department with Catherine Ashton, the European Union policy chief, Clinton said any resumption of negotiations with Iran would require sustained effort.
"We must be assured that if we make a decision to go forward, we see a sustained effort by Iran to come to the table to work until we have reached an outcome that has Iran coming back into compliance with their international obligations," Clinton said. "We're evaluating all of these factors. But I think it's fair to say ... that we think this is an important step and we welcome the letter."
The letter in question was sent to Ashton on Tuesday by Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, which proposed new discussions between Iran and the West.
Tensions over Iran's suspected nuclear weaspons program have been increasing steadily in recent weeks as increasing sanctions are imposed on the Islamic Republic and speculation persists of a possible Israeli military strike.

Should Florida end the death penalty?
Robert Lorei
Radioactivity: Live Call-In (Wednesday) | Listen to this entire show:
Should Florida end the death penalty? That's the question addressed on this segment of WMNF's Radioactivity with Rob Lorei.
Peter Mills, an assistant public defender and member of the Florida Public Defender Association, was the guest during this segment. He discussed the cost of capital murder appeals and how the appeals are far more expensive than keeping someone in prison for life with no possibility of parole. He also looked at the unequal ways the death penalty is applied in Florida and the exonerations that have come from the Florida system.comments powered by Disqus

The males of this species spend much of their time chasing and even biting females, Sean O'Donnell of the University of Washington in Seattle reports in a forthcoming issue of
In temperate zones, males are only needed for mating and they die soon afterwards.
O'Donnell speculates that this allows males to make multiple mating flights, and thus earn a higher place in the social hierarchy.

Kickstarting: Sigmund Freud's Handwriting As A Scrawling Typeface
Just don't write a letter to your mother with it.
Harald Geisler is a bit obsessed with handwriting. He spent two and a half months re-creating Albert Einstein's penmanship. Then he created a romantic script just for lovers. Now, thanks to a well-funded Kickstarter campaign, he's taking on one of the most radical thinkers of the last century.
Harald Geisler is digitizing Sigmund Freud's handwriting. And to do so, he must digitize part of Sigmund Freud himself.
"When I look at written or printed type, I prefer to think of a moving pen rather than any form that is created," Geisler tells Co.Design. "Handwriting can be like reading a trail. One must understand how something is created rather than being focused on outcome—understanding the process is very essential to reproducing the results."
So while Geisler recently visited the Sigmund Freud museum in Vienna to study some of Freud's original letters, he wasn't searching so much for a single alphabet to gleen from the famous psychoanalyst but all the tiny strokes of the pen that could explain how the characters were affected based upon their positioning.
For instance, a fountain pen's upstroke resembles a hairline, while the downstroke is quite thick. On top of that, a letter at the end of a word is always drawn differently than when sandwiched in between two letters. "A 't' followed by an 'h' is drawn differently than a 't' followed by an 'i'," Geisler explains. So though he is developing a sort of average of the alphabet that Freud might draw, most of the process centers around the modifications in a letter when it starts a sentence, ends a sentence, or is connected to specific letters—to really deconstruct and reconstruct the way Freud's hand moved with a pen.
Geisler expects to end up with somewhere around 300 of these alternative ligatures and glyphs, each of which will take roughly an hour to complete. That's roughly two months of work that Geisler could automate with simpler logic—if you've never tried this fantastic tool to create your own, handwritten font, I urge you to spend a rainy afternoon doing so—but the results wouldn't be nearly as authentic. Because Geisler's goal for Freud's typeface is quite high: To be so natural that it could serve as the second page of a two-page letter and no one could notice the shift.
That is, until the reader looks a bit closer, and they see 70+ years of modern science weighing in on turn-of-the-century pop psychology.

I've always had a big problem with handwriting typefaces. Every time I see one, I get more irritated at that moment of realization that someone did not actually write it by hand because no one makes their R's completely identical. If you want handwritten text, then get out a pen and paper, and make it happen! That being said, I'm still interested to see how this turns out. With 300 different ligatures, Geisler might actually be able to fool some people into thinking the strokes are authentic. But I still wont use it -- at the end of the day, it just boils down to another novelty typeface.

Don't replace the entire window when the only problem is the glass. Replacing only the glass saves
money. On-Site fixes all window styles and brands. We do the job on-site, same day, for a fraction
of the cost of window replacement
SAVE MONEY: Replacing the glass costs far less than installing
a new window.
CURB APPEAL: Replacing problem glass will improve the
look of your home.
ENERGY SAVINGS: Fixing bad glass will lower your heating
and cooling costs.
VISIBILITY: If the view out your window isn't clear,
the reason to fix it should be.
Windows manufactured in the last 30 years typically have two-panes of glass. One sheet of glass
on the outside, another on the inside, with a pocket of air in between. The seal that joins
these "double-pane" windows sometimes fail. The seal failure allows air to flow in between
the two glass panes.
When sunshine hits the window the air inside heats up causing the air to expand and leak through
the damaged seal. In the evening the window cools and contracts, drawing air-and humidity-with
it. Year after year when this cycle of expansion and contraction occurs, it stresses the window
seals more and fills the air space with moisture and condensation that can't be wiped away.
If the problem is not resolved it can lead to stress cracks in the glass, and water damage
to the window frame and sill.
Most window frames are built so the double-pane glass can be removed.
OnSite measures, cuts, and builds a new double-pane unit using high quality glass spacers and
sealant to join two new panes of energy-efficient insulated glass.
After we reinstall the glass there is no more condensation or fog, and your window regains its
original insulating properties.

The Matchup
The University of New Hampshire women's basketball team returns to action Wednesday, Feb. 13 for a road game against UMBC. Opening tip at the RAC for the Retrievers' "Play 4 Kay" game is 7 p.m.
UNH has a 9-11 overall record, including this year's 63-62 home win, against UMBC. The Wildcats and Retrievers split last year's regular-season matchups with each team successfully defending its home court; the teams went on to meet in the America East quarterfinals and UMBC prevailed, 59-57 on a pair of free throws with less than two seconds remaining.
The 'Cats have a 4-5 road record in this series and have lost two straight at the RAC – Jan. 2, 2012 (67-65) and Jan. 23, 2011 (69-51). UNH's most recent win on the Retrievers' home court was Jan. 16, 2010, when the Wildcats were 77-67 victors.
UNH has not won two straight vs. UMBC since upending the Retrievers in the second matchup of the 2008-09 season (73-65 at Lundholm Gym) and first matchup of 2009-10 (77-67).
In this year's previous matchup, UNH rallied in the second half to take a late lead and then, with the benefit of a pair of UMBC turnovers and 6 of 8 shooting from the free throw line, fended off the Retrievers down the stretch for a 63-63 win at Lundholm Gym on Jan. 9. The Wildcats, who trailed 52-47 with 8:45 remaining, took the lead for good at 3:13 when Elizabeth Belanger stole the ball, dribbled to half court and made the outlet pass to Cari Reed for a layup and 55-54 lead. Lauren Wells' pull-up jumper extended the advantage to three points at 1:31. Brittany Crowell hit a pair of free throws to lift UMBC within 57-56 and then the Retrievers committed three fouls to send Ariel Gaston to the foul line for the 1-and-1 bonus with 22.8 seconds on the clock.
Gaston made the first free throw and missed the second. Bria White grabbed the rebound, but her outlet pass deflected off Raven Harris to Gaston. The 'Cats immediately called time out and Reed was fouled on the subsequent inbounds play. Reed hit both foul shots to give UNH a 60-56 lead with 16.3 seconds remaining.
The visitors advanced the ball to half court and called a timeout, then errantly threw the inbounds pass out of bounds to give the ball back to New Hampshire. Reed drilled two more free throws with 12.4 to play to give UNH its largest lead of the game – six points (62-56). Harris dribbled the ball and hit a deep 3-pointer on the right side to trim the deficit to three points.
Following a scramble for the ball on UNH's inbounds play, Belanger was fouled and made the second of two FTs to push the advantage to 63-59 with seven seconds remaining. Harris once again hit a deep shot from 3-point range with two seconds left to make it a one-point margin, but time elapsed before the Retrievers could get the ball back or commit a foul. Neither team led by more than six points; there were 11 ties and 11 lead changes.

New Hampshire Notables
Last Wednesday's 30-point lead (57-27) versus Vermont marked UNH's largest of the season and the 22-point margin of victory (67-45) is the second largest.
The Wildcats established season highs in both field goal percentage (57.5%; 23-40) and 3-point field goal percentage (61.5%; 8-13) in that Feb. 6 game against the Catamounts. The eight 3-pointers tied a season high, the 15 assists ranks No. 2 and the 67 points is the third highest total for the year.
The 57.5% field goal percentage marks UNH's best effort since Jan. 22, 2010 [57.9% (33-57) vs. Albany], and the 61.5 3-point FG% is the team's best sharpshooting effort since Dec. 11, 2003 [66.7% (6-9) vs. Wisconsin-Milwaukee).
UNH limited Vermont to 11 first-half points, which marked the lowest halftime total by an opponent in the last 20 years; the previous first-half low as 14 points by Stony Brook on Feb. 1, 2002.
New Hampshire recorded seven blocks vs. Maine (Jan. 29). It's the highest team total since Jan. 1, 2011, when the Wildcats recorded seven blocks in a triple OT game against the University Rhode Island.
UNH matched this season's second best efforts in both rebounding (44) and rebounding margin (+15) at Binghamton on Jan. 26.

UNH made 3 of 9 3-pointers in the 60-52 win against the Bearcats. New Hampshire attempted seven 3-pointers in the season-opener at Yale University (Nov. 14) and nine at Harvard University (Nov. 28).
'Cat Clips
The Feb. 6 game vs. Vermont will be one to remember for junior point guard Kelsey Hogan, who made her return to the starting lineup and played 25 minutes against the Catamounts. Hogan recorded her 100th career 3-pointer made with the last of her four 3s on the night; she made all six field goal attempts to become the first Wildcat since Jan. 29, 2005 to shoot 100% from the floor (minimum five attempts); Ebony Woods was 6-for-6 back on that day. Hogan also pulled down a team-high four rebounds.
One game earlier at Stony Brook University (Feb. 2), Hogan reached another personal milestone by recording her 250th career assist. She is the 13th Wildcat to attain that number.
Freshman guard Elizabeth Belanger scored a career-high 12 points Feb. 6 against Vermont. She made 5 of 9 field goals and tied her personal best of two 3-pointers (2-for-3) in 24 minutes off the bench.

Sophomore point guard Ariel Gaston matched her career highs in both points (eight) and steals (three) Jan. 29 vs. Maine.
Milestone Watch
One current 'Cat is already in the Top 10 on UNH's career leaderboard for 3-point field goals made and another is approaching that list. Senior shooting guard Cari Reed ascended into the top 5 at the Brown Bear Basketball Classic with the first of her four 3-pointers vs. Quinnipiac and reached the 150 milestone Jan. 19 vs. Boston U. Reed is currently No. 3 at 164.
Junior point guard Kelsey Hogan is 11th at 100; she reached the 100 milestone Feb. 6 at home against Vermont with the last of her 4-for-4 effort. Hogan is also No. 13 in career assists with 251; she tallied #250 Feb. 2 at Stony Brook.

Framework for Success
Senior forward Morgan Frame was selected to the America East Preseason All-Conference Team at the league's Media Day in late October.
Through 22 games, Frame leads the team in free throws made (54) and attempted (82) and is atop the steals leaderboard with 20. She ranks second in scoring (11.0 ppg), rebounding (6.8 rpg), field goals made (94) and FG attempted (220) as well as third in minutes (27.8 per game) and fourth in assists (29).
In 10 America East conference games, Frame is averaging 11.8 ppg, 7.0 rpg and 1.9 apg in 30.1 mpg.
The 6-foot-1 forward matched her career high of 12 rebounds, including four on the offensive glass, against Maine on Jan. 29. She also matched her personal best of four assists the third consecutive game.
Frame scored a season-high 23 points (8-14 FGs, 7-8 FTs) and also tallied eight rebounds, four assists, three steals and a blocked shot to propel UNH to a 60-52 victory at Binghamton (Jan. 26). The seven free throws are a career high. Frame set the tone in the game by scoring 10 of the team's initial 14 points; after the Bearcats closed within 51-46, she made two fouls shots and then assisted on a layup in less than a minute to extend the margin to nine points.
One game earlier at Hartford (Jan. 23), Frame helped fuel UNH's late comeback effort. She recorded seven points and two rebounds as the Wildcats trimmed a 13-point deficit to 54-52 spanning 6:20. Frame finished the game with 14 points, eight rebounds, two steals and four assists.
In the Jan. 19 against BU at Lundholm Gym, Frame was once again instrumental in sparking UNH's late comeback effort in which the Wildcats closed the game on a 15-1 run. She tallied four points, two rebounds and an assist during that spurt; her defensive rebounds, assist and layup helped ignite the rally.
Frame propelled UNH to a 63-62 victory against UMBC (Jan. 9 at Lundholm Gym) with season highs in both points (20) and rebounds (12) to record her second double-double of the season and ninth of her Wildcat career. Frame was highly efficient from the floor (8 of 11) and the 12 rebounds matched her personal best. During UNH's decisive 10-2 spurt late in the second half, Frame scored one point and pulled down five rebounds.
Frame finished with 10 points and six rebounds at Vermont (63-60 overtime loss). She gave UNH a chance to win the game in the closing minute of regulation on a game-tying field goal with 38 seconds remaining and defensive rebound with 22 seconds to play.
Frame recorded 17 points and 10 rebounds – both season highs at the time – at Colgate to record her first double-double of the season. She was efficient from the floor by making 8 of 12 field goal attempts.
Frame led the team in scoring consecutive games with 11 vs. Central Connecticut State (Dec. 9) and 14 vs. Wagner (Dec. 17) – she was named the America East Player of the Game both times.
Frame has proven capable of taking control of games. With UNH trailing by 10 points (56-46) with eight minutes remaining at Holy Cross, Frame scored nine consecutive points and 11 overall during the Wildcats' 15-0 run; she also had two steals during that stretch. Frame finished the game with a season-high 17 points.
In the next game at Boston College, Frame scored eight consecutive UNH points in the latter part of the first half as the 'Cats and Eagles exchanged baskets. Frame finished that game with eight rebounds.
Block Party
New Hampshire recorded a season-high seven blocks, including a career-high four by Kaylee Kilpatrick, Jan. 29 against Maine. The Wildcats have 47 blocks the past 12 games (3.9 blocks per game) – in comparison, the 'Cats had three blocks just once in the opening 10 games of the season.
UNH has recorded multiple blocks 14 consecutive games dating back to Dec. 9 vs. Central Connecticut State University. The previous game, UNH had one block vs. Dartmouth College.
Feb. 2 at Stony Brook, UNH tallied four blocks, which was also the total the team recorded Jan. 26 at Binghamton University. The 'Cats swatted away five Albany Great Danes' shots as Cari Reed returned three shots back to the sender on Jan. 16. UNH rejected six shots Jan. 2 at Vermont.
Sophomore forward Kaylee Kilpatrick leads the team with 26 blocked shots – she tallied three both at UVM (Jan. 2) and at Hartford (Jan. 23) – and Reed ranks second with 13.
Through 22 games, New Hampshire has a 62-31 edge in blocked shots.
Captain of the 'Cats
Junior guard Kelsey Hogan is co-captain of the 2012-13 UNH Wildcats; last year, she was a co-captain alongside Denise Beliveau and started all 30 games. Hogan is a multiple threat in the backcourt – as the quarterback of the offense, she is strong on the dribble and an excellent passer; she is also an accurate jumpshooter who led not only the team but the America East conference in 3-point field goal percentage (.446; 41-for-92) a year ago.
Hogan has reached a milestone each of the last two games. She became the 13th UNH Wildcat to reach 250 career assists Feb. 2 at Stony Brook University, then recorded her 100th career 3-pointer made Feb. 6 against Vermont to be the 11th 'Cat to attain that mark.
Through 22 games this season, Hogan, who has missed seven games (Nov. 25 & 28; Jan. 16-19-23-26-29), leads the team in assists (50; 3.3 apg) and is third in scoring (8.5 ppg) as well as fifth in rebounding (3.1 rpg). She is second in minutes per game (31.5) and third in 3-point FGs (14-50).
Hogan returned to action Feb. 2 at Stony Brook. She came off the bench to play 16 minutes and finished with four points, one rebound and three assists. Hogan's previous game was Jan. 9 vs. UMBC; she tallied four points, two rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes against the Retrievers.
She returned to the starting lineup Feb. 6 vs. UVM and scored a season-high 17 points while making all six field goal attempts, including four from 3-point distance. She also had a team-high four rebounds as well as two assists in 25 minutes.
Hogan scored a team-high 12 points against Stony Brook (Jan. 5); she also had a team-best three assists before fouling out with 16 seconds remaining.
Earlier that week, Hogan made 4 of 6 FGs, including her only 3-point attempt, and went 3-for-4 from the foul line to finish with 12 points at Vermont (Jan. 2). She also tallied four rebounds, two assists and a steal in 43 minutes.
Hogan had a decent shooting day (4-for-7 FGs, including 2 of 4 3-pointers) for 10 points at Cleveland State University on Dec. 22; she also tallied four assists and three rebounds in 37 minutes.
Hogan matched her career high of nine assists Nov. 17 at Holy Cross. She established that personal benchmark Jan. 22, 2012 vs. Binghamton University.
In the opener at Yale, Hogan made all eight free throw attempts; the eight foul shots is a career high. She recorded a season-high seven rebounds Dec. 2 at Brown.
After missing two games, Hogan returned to the starting lineup both games of the Brown Bear Basketball Classic. In 34 minutes against Quinnipiac, she tallied 11 points, three assists, two steals and a block. She then recorded seven rebounds and six assists vs. Brown – once again, in 34 minutes.
Home & Road Splits
UNH's offensive split between home and away games is marginal (56.7 ppg at home; 53.8 ppg away), but the defensive numbers are very different at 50.6 ppg allowed in nine home games and 61.6 ppg allowed on the road.
The Wildcats shoot slightly better at home with a .392 field goal percentage compared to .389 on the road. The 3-point field goal percentage is also higher at home (28.1% home; 23.9% away).
UNH has been a better rebounding team at home with a +4.3 margin compared to +2.3 on the road; part of that road margin is skewed due to Albany's 45-25 edge (Jan. 16).
Kaylee Killa
Sophomore forward Kaylee Kilpatrick has started each of the last 11 games and has been on the court for 18 of 22 opening tipoffs. She is averaging 8.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.2 blocks and 25.4 minutes per game. Kilpatrick leads the team – and is No. 3 in the America East conference – in field goal percentage at 52.5%; she ranks first on the squad in blocks (26) as well as third in rebounding and fourth in scoring.
In 10 America East games, Kilpatrick is averaging 8.5 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 1.3 apg, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals in 27.2 minutes per game.
Most recently against Vermont (Feb. 6), Kilpatrick was efficient at the offensive end of the court with 10 points on 3 of 4 field goals and 4-for-4 shooting from the foul line. She also recorded three rebounds, two assists, one steal and a block in 24 minutes.
The six-foot-four forward re-wrote her record book in January. She ended the month with a career-high four blocks and tied a career high of two steals against Maine (Jan. 29). Kilpatrick previously recorded a career-high 12 rebounds as part of UNH's 44-29 edge on the boards at Binghamton (Jan. 26) – she also tallied eight points, two blocks and a steal vs. the Bearcats.
One game earlier, Kilpatrick netted a personal-best 19 points on 9 of 12 shooting from the floor Jan. 23 at the University of Hartford. Her other stats included three blocks and two steals.
During UNH's 15-4 spurt that trimmed the deficit to 54-52 with 1:29 remaining at Hartford, Kilpatrick recorded five points, two assists and two blocks.
Kilpatrick tallied three blocks Jan. 2 at Vermont and she led the team in assists with three. It marked the second consecutive game Kilpatrick led the 'Cats in assists – she tallied a career-high four at Colgate University (Dec. 29).
She also led the team in assists (two) in the Jan. 16 game at Albany and matched a personal best of six free throws that game by going 6-for-6 at the foul line.
Kilpatrick had a solid all-around game at Colgate with 13 points (6x8 FGs), six rebounds, two blocks and the aforementioned four assists.
Kilpatrick tallied career highs in rebounds in consecutive games with 10 against Central Connecticut State (Dec. 9) followed by 11 in 25 minutes of action vs. Wagner College (Dec. 17).
Earlier in December, she scored 16 points – which was a career high at the time – against Dartmouth College (Dec. 5). She made 7 of 9 field goal attempts and went 2-for-3 from the foul line in 18 minutes of action; her other stats included four rebounds and two assists as she was named America East Player of the Game.
Kilpatrick's other season highlights include eight points at Yale (Nov. 14) and 10 points on 5-for-6 shooting at Holy Cross (Nov. 17); she also tallied three assists in that game vs. HC.
Going Back to the Wells Again
Another player who returns with starting experience is senior guard Lauren Wells, who utilizes her quickness and athleticism to drive past defenders – and be a disruptive force at the other end of the court as a defender – but she can also hit the mid-range jumper.
Wells missed the entire 2012 season due to injury, but she started 21 of 29 games in 2011 as a junior and was in the starting lineup all 31 games in '10. In her junior season, Wells ranked third on the team in steals, fourth in assists and fifth in scoring; she also led the team in free throw percentage and ranked ninth in America East in 3-point field goal percentage.
Wells, who has been in the starting lineup 11 times – including eight consecutive games spanning Dec. 1 to Jan. 2 – scored a season-high 11 points Dec. 17 against Wagner College. She made 4 of 9 field goal attempts and that included 2-for-6 from 3-point range.
When she was reinserted into the starting lineup Dec. 1 against Quinnipiac University, Wells scored 10 points on 5 of 9 shooting; she also tallied three rebounds and two assists.
Wells came off the bench in the Nov. 25 home opener vs. Cornell to score nine points in 24 minutes on 3-for-6 shooting from the floor and 2 of 2 from the foul line. Wells also came off the bench at Harvard and tallied four points, five rebounds and two blocks in 24 minutes.
Wells matched her career high of four steals Dec. 5 against Dartmouth and with one block vs. the Big Green, she moved into a tie atop the team's leaderboard in blocks at four (with Kaylee Kilpatrick); she is currently third with that total of four.
Wells is averaging 3.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 23.3 minutes per game. In 10 America East conference games (two starts), her numbers are 1.7 ppg, 1.5 rpg and 18.6 mpg.

Sophomore point guard Ariel Gaston has played in all 22 games and started 11 games, including each of the past nine; she was previously in the starting lineup consecutive games against Cornell and Harvard (when Kelsey Hogan was sidelined).
In her 11 starts, Gaston is averaging 3.8 ppg, 2.7 rpg and 2.4 apg in 27.3 minutes per game. Overall, her numbers include 3.2 ppg, 2.7 rpg, and 2.0 apg in 21.1 mpg.
Gaston had a quietly efficient game against Vermont (Feb. 6) with five points (2-2 FGs, 1-2 FTs), three rebounds and a team-high four assists in 30 minutes.
In the Jan. 29 versus Maine, Gaston matched her career highs in points (eight) and steals (three). She also contributed four rebounds, four assists and a block while committing just one turnover in 33 minutes.
Gaston finished with six points, four rebounds and three assists in 38 minutes at Binghamton (Jan. 26). It marked the second consecutive game she played 38 minutes. She committed just one turnover in 38 minutes at Hartford (Jan. 23).
Gaston recorded a season-high five assists in the Jan. 19 home game against Boston University to match her career high.
Gaston tallied seven points – one less than her season high – as well as three rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes Dec. 9 against the UMBC Retrievers. She had an efficient shooting game by making 3 of 4 field goals, including all three 2-point attempts.
Against Wagner College (Dec. 17), she matched her career highs in both points (eight) and steals (three) and also recorded four assists.
Gaston helped secure the Wildcats' victory against Cornell (Nov. 25) with two defensive rebounds in the last 15 seconds of the game. Against Dartmouth College (Dec. 5), she was an across-the-board contributor with six points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 16 minutes.
Friel-ing good
Senior shooting guard Jilliane Friel, who was sidelined the opening two weeks of the season due to injury, made her 2012-13 season debut in the Nov. 25 home opener vs. Cornell, and she was even pressed into the role of point guard due to the Wildcats' injury and foul trouble.
In 15 minutes, Friel contributed across the board with three points, two rebounds, one steal and four assists, which matched her career high.
Friel was once again thrust into the role of point guard Jan. 16 at Albany and played a season-high 28 minutes (she had played a total of 27 minutes in her previous seven appearances spanning 10 UNH games). She finished that game with three points – all on free throws –, two rebounds, one assist and one block.
Friel saw just nine minutes of action off the bench Jan. 19 vs. BU, but was on the floor when the Wildcats closed the last 3:21 of the game on a 15-1 run (in a 55-53 loss). During that spurt, Friel grabbed two defensive rebounds when BU missed the front end of two 1-and-1s and she also hit a 3-pointer.
Friel was also on the floor when UNH made its late comeback the next game at Hartford (Jan. 23), and it was her 3-pointer that ignited the 15-4 run that reduced the deficit to two points, 54-52, with 89 seconds to play.
Of the four players who came off the bench Jan. 29 against Maine, Friel was the only one to play double-digit minutes (12). She contributed two points, one rebound and two assists.
Friel is averaging 1.4 points, 0.9 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 9.3 minutes per game (16 games played). In eight America East conference games, her numbers include 1.8 ppg, 0.9 rpg and 1.0 apg in 12.4 minutes per game.
The UNH women's basketball program welcomed four newcomers to the 2012-13 squad and that includes sophomore center Corinne Coia, who transferred following her freshman year (2011-12) at the University of Rhode Island; she is ineligible to play for the Wildcats this season.
Kendall Martenet is the other new addition to the frontcourt. The 6-2 forward was a three-time captain at Mukwonago High School, where she led the team in rebounding as a junior and senior.
Martenet is averaging 1.5 ppg and 1.4 rpg in 6.1 minutes per game (14 games played); she was sidelined by injury for four games (Dec. 17 to Jan. 2) and has played each of the last three games.
Martenet has seen increased playing minutes and productivity in recent weeks. Last Wednesday (Feb. 3) vs. Vermont, she scored a career-high six points with a personal-best 4 of 4 effort from the foul line. She also pulled down three rebounds in a career-high 12 minutes off the bench.
In limited action at Stony Brook (Feb. 2), Martenet tallied two points, two rebounds and a block in four minutes. One game earlier against Maine (Jan. 29), she recorded two points and two rebounds in six minutes.
Martenet, who played four minutes off the bench in the season opener at Yale (Nov. 14) but did not play at Holy Cross, saw four minutes of first-half action Nov. 20 at BC. She hit 15-foot jumpers on back-to-back possessions to lift the 'Cats into a 33-33 tie late in the half. Those marked her first career points. Martenet played 11 minutes at Brown (Dec. 2) and pulled down a personal-best four rebounds.
Jan. 16 at Albany, Martenet scored two points (2-2 FTs) and pulled down one rebound in 10 minutes.
Elizabeth Belanger and Victoria Duffey joined the Wildcat backcourt. Belanger garnered ESPN Boston All-State Team and Boston Herald All-Scholastic Team, Lowell Sun Player of the Year and Dual County League MVP accolades at Acton-Boxborough Regional High School.
Belanger, who started six consecutive games (Nov. 20 to Dec. 5) and 12 overall, is averaging 6.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 24.6 minutes per game (22 games played).
In 10 America East conference games (five starts), her numbers are 6.7 ppg, 4.0 rpg and 1.4 apg in 25.4 mpg.
Belanger scored a career-high 12 points in UNH's most recent game, a 67-45 win against Vermont at Lundholm Gym on Feb. 6. She shot 5-for-9 from the field, and that included 2 of 3 on 3-pointers; the two 3-pointers tied a personal best. Belanger's other stats included three rebounds, three assists and a steal in 24 minutes off the bench.
Belanger finished with eight points and five rebounds against Maine (Jan. 29); she was held scoreless (for the only time in her career) and pulled down eight boards at Stony Brook (Feb. 2).
Jan. 26 at Binghamton University, Belanger finished with four points, four rebounds, one assist and one block. On Jan. 23 at Hartford, she matched her personal best with two 3-pointers as part of eight points, six rebounds and three assists.
She filled the stat sheet with eight points, two rebounds, career-high four assists, one steal and one block in the 63-62 win against UMBC on Wednesday, Jan. 9. Belanger made a game-changing play in that game with a steal and assist on the layup on the subsequent fastbreak that gave UNH a 55-54 lead with 3:13 remaining in the game; the 'Cats never relinquished that lead.
Belanger netted 11 points against Colgate (Dec. 29) and Stony Brook (Jan. 5) – at the time, that total matched her personal best; the game vs. Stony Brook marked her first with multiple 3-pointers (2-for-4); at Colgate, she also tallied seven rebounds, two steals and an assist in 28 minutes. One week earlier at Cleveland State University, she recorded seven points, four rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 29 minutes.
In her second career start, Belanger recorded her first career double-double with 11 points and career-high 11 rebounds against Cornell University (Nov. 25). Belanger made her collegiate debut off the bench in the season opener at Yale; she finished with eight points, three rebounds and one steal in 25 minutes.
Belanger netted nine points in 19 minutes against Dartmouth (Dec. 5) and then recorded a career-high three steals vs. CCSU (Dec. 9).
Duffey comes to UNH from Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes after lettering at Walled Lake Central High School for three years. She was a three-year starting point guard and two-time captain at Walled Lake Central, where she earned three All-Conference and two Academic All-State accolades.
Duffey has seen limited action off the bench in 10 games; she ended a streak of nine consecutive DNPs Feb. 2 at Stony Brook, where she entered the game in the final minute of both halves. Prior to that, Duffey had not seen game action since Dec. 22 at Cleveland State. She is averaging 3.4 minutes per game with a season-high of nine at Holy Cross.
Forward Reserve
Sophomore forward Stephanie Spoto has come off the bench in all 21 games this season. She is averaging 1.7 points, 1.8 rebounds and 10.4 minutes per game.
Spoto recorded four points (2-3 FGs), one rebound, one assist and two steals in 10 minutes at Stony Brook (Feb. 2).
Spoto contributed four points and two rebounds in nine minutes vs. Maine (Jan. 29). One game earlier at Binghamton (Jan. 26), she tallied two points and three rebounds in nine minutes.
Spoto recorded a career-high three steals Jan. 16 at Albany. She also tallied four points (2-3 FGs) and three rebounds in a season-high 20 minutes off the bench against the Great Danes; Spoto also played 20 minutes Dec. 5 vs. Dartmouth College.
She scored a career-high nine points against the Wagner Seahawks on Dec. 17. She had not attempted a free throw in her Wildcat career prior to that game and went 7-for-10 from the foul line. Spoto also recorded four rebounds and a steal in the game.
Spoto pulled down a career-high eight rebounds and was credited with two steals vs. Dartmouth. She recorded four rebounds Nov. 25 vs. Cornell – that was a personal best at the time – and career-high two assists against both Cornell and Holy Cross (Nov. 17).
Spoto scored two points each of the initial four games of the season before matching her freshman-season high of four points Nov. 28 at Harvard.

Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a system that evaluates structural, chemical and mental
aspects of health using manual muscle testing with other standard methods of diagnosis.
The doctor using AK finds a muscle that is unbalanced and then attempts to determine
why that muscle is not functioning properly. The doctor works out the treatment that
will best balance the patient's muscles.
Treatments may involve specific joint manipulation or mobilization, various myofascial
therapies, cranial techniques, meridian and acupuncture skills, clinical nutrition,
dietary management, counseling skills, evaluating environmental irritants and various
reflex procedures.
AK uses the Triad of Health. That is Chemical, Mental and Structural factors that
balance the major health categories. The Triad of Health is interactive and all
sides must be evaluated for the underlying cause of a problem. A health problem on
one side of the triad can affect the other sides. For example, a chemical imbalance
can cause mental symptoms. AK enables the doctor to evaluate the triad's balance
and direct therapy toward the imbalanced side or sides.
AK skills are developed and approved by the International College of Applied Kinesiology
Board of Standards. These skills are refined from many disciplines including Chiropractic,
Osteopathy, Medicine, Dentistry, Acupuncture, Biochemistry, Psychology, Homeopathy,
and Naturopathy etc. Members of these professions share knowledge through the publications
and conferences of the International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK).
A Doctor using AK during an examination will add a new dimension to standard diagnostics.
In summary, Applied Kinesiology: Is a diagnostic system using manual muscle testing
to augment normal examination procedures; was founded and developed by Chiropractor
Dr. George J. Goodheart, Jr; is a postgraduate specialty.

Beyoncé sings the Star Spangled Banner at the presidential inauguration in Washington D.C., Monday. Since then, she's been accused of lip-synching. Bloomberg/Andrew Harrer
If Beyoncé did lip-sync the national anthem at the presidential inauguration—and the verdict is still out—the pop star would join a long list of performers who have "sung" along to pre-recorded tracks in the past, all in the name of show business, emphasis on business.
At this point, CNN reports, the U.S. Marine Band, which provided the musical accompaniment for Beyoncé, is neither confirming nor denying that she lip-synched to a pre-recorded track, although earlier a spokeswoman said the pop star "did not actually sing." The Marine Band did say that she and other inauguration singers made a recording in case there were freezing temperatures, equipment failure, or the undefined "extenuating circumstances."
Whatever may have transpired, lip-synching is a tactic that singers have used over the years, sometimes because it's hard to sing and dance at the same time, and sometimes because their live voice is weak. While the performer's management is certainly in on it, the venue very well might not be. Example: In 2004, when the wrong track played during her performance on SNL, Ashlee Simpson didn't attempt to sing and instead launched into a weird dance routine. The show's executive producer Lorne Michaels later told 60 Minutes that he had no idea Simpson was going to lip-synch her performance, and wouldn't have allowed it had he known.
There are even lip-sync mobile apps like iLipSync by Okutsu Professional Engineer Office that charge 99 cents a download to let users lip-sync to the photo of their choice.
The top 10 Lip-Sync fails by WatchMojo (video below) counts down the worst, including that of 50 Cent, who was forced to walk the stage aimlessly during an appearance on the 2007 BET awards when the wrong song was played during his scheduled performance. Perhaps the most heinous example was the band Milli Vanilli, which was stripped of its Grammy award in 1990 after a performance led to a media investigation that found the "band members" didn't sing on the recorded album either.
Here's a slideshow that looks at some other pivotal lip-syncing moments.
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

Wet-Saw Conversion
I just cut my first bricks yesterday. The brickyard sold me an 8 inch "wet or dry" diamond blade, and I was told it would work fine in my mitre saw. Well it worked "fine", I guess, up to 17 bricks, and then it was shot. At that rate, it would take $624.88 in blades to build my oven! I finished up the bricks for my internal floor with an abrasive wheel on my metal chop saw. It cut great, but it was (no surprise) really, really dusty.
I've been searching the forum, and I have stumbled across a couple of brief glimpses and mentions about what appears to be the reconfiguration of a 14" metal chop saw into a wet diamond saw. It looks like a drip-irrigation emitter is let into the top of the blade shield and hooked up to a garden hose.
Can anyone give me any more insight, advice or tips about this? Is it okay to run a diamond blade on a chop saw (i.e. acceptable RPMs, etc.)?
The Harbor Freight saw is $300. H-D has a nice Rigid saw "on sale" for $489. I'm guessing I could convert a cheap-o Harbor Freight chop saw to water cooling so as not to ruin my Milwaukee chop saw. I could also rig up a jig to bevel cut the sides, I'm thinking.

Never mind. I bought a wet saw. In case anyone else is trying to figure out a way to save a few bucks, don't. Get a wet saw. Like me, you'll be glad you did.
Re: Wet-Saw Conversion
Besides, eight inches is way too shallow for fire bricks. What was the bite on that thing? Two inches?
Re: Wet-Saw Conversion
Actually, I mispoke. It was a 10" blade that I used on the mitre saw. It could cut a brick, but only on a shallow diagonal and only on the face, not the edge. Totally worthless. Oh well, live and learn.

in the state or district standards. Instruction should enable students to achieve the standards.
Coherence. The conditions of instruction should be consistent within schools and across grades. Students should be exposed to the same content and instructional practices if they are expected to achieve the same standards.
Disaggregation. Data on instructional practices should be reported by race, gender, socioeconomic status, and other factors to indicate whether all students in schools are exposed to similar conditions of instruction.
The following two examples are efforts by researchers to examine the conditions of instruction in Chicago public schools. In one, the researchers administered an extensive survey and conducted detailed observations of classrooms. In the other, the researchers examined student assignments—the work students performed as part of their daily classroom activities. In both cases, the researchers viewed their findings against standards for effective instruction.
To find out about the conditions of instruction in the Chicago Public Schools, researchers from the Consortium on Chicago School Research conducted an extensive survey of teachers and students in 1994 and analyzed the information from 2,036 teachers. Researchers then observed over 800 language arts and mathematics classes in eight elementary schools and seven high schools. They analyzed classroom lessons against the subject-matter content of the test used in the district, the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills.
The researchers found that many Chicago classrooms keep pace with grade-level expectations and test content, but many others do not. As a result, many students do not learn the content they need in order to perform well on the tests. "Especially troublesome," the researchers write, "is the finding that students attending schools in Chicago's most disadvantaged neighborhoods are much more likely to encounter instruction that is poorly coordinated and that conveys weak expectations for student learning" (p. 1).
The study found, for example, that although instruction in early grades tends to follow the expectations of the test, the pacing flattens out by about fourth grade, particularly in high-poverty schools, and classes tend to repeat topics already taught. And the repeated lessons do not build on prior learning; rather, the lessons tend to repeat the same basic skills students were exposed to before. In some cases, elementary lessons were more demanding than those in middle or high school. The pattern exists in language arts instruction as well: there, they found, students might read more challenging books in higher grades, but they are not asked to explore them in any more depth than they were when they were younger.
The results suggest, the researchers conclude, that many Chicago

In The Golden Compass, what daemons do they have and what are their names?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Clearly, given that every human character in the novel has a daemon, there are lots of daemons in the novel and even the most superficial reading will reveal a wide range of daemons. However, here are a few from the first chapter. Lyra's daemon of course is very important, Pantalaimon, who has not "fixed" on a shape yet. The servant, as befitting his status, has a dog as a daemon. The Master of Jordan has a raven. Lord Asriel has a snow leopard called Stelmaria. What is interesting about this trilogy is the relationship between deaemons and their human counterparts and how they reflect character and reveal something of their humans.

Simon Walsh, an Australian, came to Michigan with a B.A. (Hons.) from the University of Adelaide, Australia, and a MSc. in Theoretical and Historical Psychology from the University of Calgary, Canada. His Master's thesis on the reception of Gestalt Theory in the United States made the transition from Psychology to German Studies possible. At Michigan Simon has pursued a different research trajectory, one guided by a lifelong passion for music and newfound fascination for Austrian culture. He is currently completing a dissertation on the role of music in post WW-II Austrian literature, and his key authors for that project are Thomas Bernhard, Ingeborg Bachmann, Elfriede Jelinek, Gert Jonke, and Lilian Faschinger. The persistent recourse to music in their collective work is interpreted as a critical response to contemporary Austria's understanding of itself as the "Land der Musik." Simon has recently presented at conferences in the United States, Slovenia, Austria, and Australia, and has taken advantage of research grants to spend substantial portions of the last few years in Berlin, Vienna, and other parts of Austria. Among his extracurricular interests are euchre, bike riding, and Eastern Michigan University football.
