JB: After another win in the UFC, you fought for the heavyweight championship. What was the build-up to the fight like for you and how did you handle the tough loss to Arlovski?
PB: It was a fast and furious kind of experience. The build-up was not great and it happened really quickly just because of the lack of depth in the heavyweight division. If you remember, I had just KO'd Justin Eilers, and then he went and fought for the title against Arlovski for his next fight. I think that he was the only guy to ever come off of being knocked out in a promotion and then immediately fighting for a title. At that same show that he fought Andrei, I won against Kevin Jordan and actually won the "TapouT" submission of the night. So in terms of build-up, it was like they looked up and said, "Paul has won two in a row with finishes. He has to have the next shot." For the longest time, that division was the "Tim and Andrei Show."
Its funny that the fight with Andrei is now one of the things that I'm most known for. If you look at the footage, Andre threw that shot to set up a level change and a takedown. He was already midway through the double-leg when it connected with me. He even told me after the fight that he didnt like how hard my jab was so he was trying to shoot and got lucky. That started the trend of strikers wanting to wrestle me.
I remember that about two weeks after the fight, I went to hang out with one of my coaches, Brad Barnes, who was training in Houston at the time. We went out to eat at Hooters, which was one of the only places you could go hang out to watch the fights before there were free fights on TV. Brad's wife, JoAnn, asked the waitress if we could get one of the table setups, with my picture and all the stuff from the fight that month, to take home. The girls response was, "Oh wow! You are the 15-second knockout guy!" Needless to say, she did not get a tip. That fight, I think, defined me for a long time, but now people have moved on and see it for what it was. It was bad luck, bad timing, and good strategy from one of the best heavyweights at the time.
JB: You came back after that loss and got another win in the UFC before leaving the organization to fight for Strikeforce, and then Affliction. You were an excellent 5-1 over your six fights in those two organizations. Your only loss was to Alistair Overeem for the Strikeforce heavyweight championship. What was the highlight of that period of your career, and how did it lead to you eventually returning to the UFC for two more fights?
PB: Yeah, the comeback fight was good for me confidence-wise and to show people what I was about. People had touted Aldana as like a Paul Buentello version 2.0. He was big and muscular, had KO power in both hands, and supposedly had good takedown defense. I think he was like 6-0 with all KO's in under two minutes. It felt good to open up and show that I was versatile in that fight. That helped to get my stock up after coming off of a loss.
As far as Strikeforce, and even the Affliction stint, I had some great highlights for them too. Basically, I went 8-2 between the UFC, Strikeforce, and Affliction, beating MMA legends like Gary Goodrich and Tank Abbott and taking out some "next big thing" types like Aldana, Carter Williams (a K-1 champion who also shot on me), and Baby Fedor.
I think that any time I fight I always have a chance of getting back to the UFC because they know what Im about. They know that I will go out and trade and get after it and try to finish people. It has just been unfortunate that I have had these "K-1 level" strikers that want to shoot on me. They want to secure a win instead of putting on a show that would secure both of our careers.
JB: You just recently made your light heavyweight debut with a TKO victory over UFC vet, James McSweeney, at Legacy FC 22. What led to you dropping to light heavyweight and how do you think that you performed?
PB: It was something that I had been talking about with Brad Barnes, who I mentioned earlier. He and his gym's co-owner and head coach, Bruno Bastos, had worked with me for my Mike Cook fight and two fights in Russia. When I spent some time in camp with them, I was 3-0. They have helped a lot of guys with similar styles, and Bruno has worked with Cro Cop, Stanislav Nedkov, and King Mo. It was a good place for me to train. So Brad had told me for years to do it, and then when he said I was booked for the fight, it was time to put up or shut up. So I went to their gym at 256 lbs., and six weeks later, they weighed me in at 206. I think that I can make a splash in the weight class and have some interesting and fan-friendly fights.
As far as my performance, I think I am one of the very few people who ever got a body-shot KO on a guy on his back trying to up-kick! Again, I have had some amazing coaches, like Andy Fong at AKA, and with my new respect for the gi in BJJ, from Bruno, I was never in danger. McSweeney was another "K-1 level" kickboxer who shot on me not once, but twice. This new weight just made me feel more mobile on the ground and more energized.
JB: You are on a four-fight win-streak. Ideally, what's next for you in your fighting career, and are there any other particular fighters that you would like an opportunity to fight?
PB: Ideally I will be finishing up my work with Legacy with some exciting fights to make them happy. Then I will go to the UFC, see what I can do there, and finish like I had intended when I made my UFC debut. That Maldonado vs. Beltran fight interests me. I got dibs on the winner, and we can go get a fight of the night check after!
JB: You are a true veteran of the sport and you have certainly seen a lot of promotions come and go. What do you think of what MMA has become and do you have any concerns for the sport or its athletes at the moment?
PB: Its so much more a sport now than a tough guy contest. There used to be tough dudes that just went in and fought no matter who the opponent was. You would fight in an exhibition in a barn or on a barroom dance floor where they put a cage up. Guys didnt care. They went out and slugged it out against everyone. Now its about taking the right matchups, strategizing more for each individual fight, and cross-training to an extent that we would have thought was just overkill back then. Now its the standard.

The score for Psyco, The Murder by Bernard Hermann, always give me that unnerving feeling.
I've gotta vote for the original Halloween. By today's standards, or lack thereof, the movie wasn't very bloody, but Carpenter used music to set the mood, raise tension, get emotional responses. As for the remake, it tried to briefly delve into what made Michael Myers a monster, but all in all, I've seen better film on teeth.
Being a Dark Shadows nut I love this one.
I personally love the music from Silent Hill, both from the movies and video games.
I must say Jaws was the first to come to my mind, but that song they play during Silence of The Lambs when what's his face is dancing and tucking himself back, also makes my skin crawl.
Love the theme from Pan's Labyrinth!
How can we forget this blood curdling film.
I have always loved the theme from Bram Stokers Dracula (the one with Gary Oldman as Dracula). I also love anything by Angelo Bandalamenti, he best known for the Twin Peaks music, but he did the music for Mulhulland Drive and lots of other David Lynch films.

Alan Hardcastle, 80, of Augusta, Maine, passed away on March 18, 2012, with his wife, Birgit, and daughter, Caitlin, at his bedside. Alan was born in 1931 in Brooklyn, New York, and learned to play the piano from a renowned pianist, John Mohegan of the Julliard School of Music, which started him on his career as an entertainer and jazz pianist.
He was a veteran of the U.S. Navy from 1951 to 1956. And it was after his Navy tour that he began his life as a painter/artist as well as his career as an entertainer.
Alan moved to The Valley in 1962 and worked at various venues where he was a focal point of The Valley community. He met his wife of 46 years, Birgit, while working at the Sugarbush Inn. Alan and Birgit had one daughter, Caitlin, and they moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he became an integral part of the PalmAire Dinner Theater and also entertained in their lounge.
The Hardcastle family moved to Augusta, Maine, in 1996 where Alan had the opportunity to spend more time as an artist. However, it should be noted that his heart remained in The Valley, and he and Birgit visited as often as possible.
Until his last day Alan remained a very funny guy. He was also extremely proud and attached to his extended family and lived next door to his daughter Caitlin and his two granddaughters, Melissa and Heather, until his death.
Alan was predeceased by his parents and brother, Jim. As per his request, there will be no funeral or memorial service. A gathering of his family and friends will be held later in the spring to celebrate his life. To send condolences to Birgit and Caitlin, they can be reached at 34 Philbrick Road, Augusta, Maine 04330-2642.

DEQ Issues Fish Consumption Advisories for Some Lakes
July, 2010 - While the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) recognizes that fish is an important part of a healthy diet, the agency is issuing fish consumption advisories for mercury on some lakes. There are currently 16 Oklahoma lakes where some species of fish contain levels of mercury above what is considered safe for unlimited consumption. The lakes in Oklahoma with fish consumption advisories pertaining to the amount of mercury in the fish are:
|Atoka Lake
|Lake Heyburn
|Boomer Lake
|McAlester City Lake
|Broken Bow Reservoir
|McGee Creek Reservoir
|Coalgate City Lake
|Pine Creek Reservoir
|Draper Lake
|Quanah Parker Lake
|Elmer Thomas Lake
|Rush Lake
|Hugo Lake
|Sardis Lake
|Kaw Reservoir
|Wister Lake
Each of the above listed lakes has recommendations specific to that lake. For detailed information on the advisories and testing, please visit the DEQ fish consumption Web page at www.deq.state.ok.us\fish\.
The consumption advisories are the result of three years of testing done by DEQ with the cooperation of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC). Many of Oklahoma's lakes have been tested to determine mercury levels. Only the 16 lakes listed above have specific advisories for mercury. For lakes that do not have specific advisories and lakes that have not been tested, DEQ encourages following the general guidance for fish consumption.
DEQ's general guidance recommends that the sensitive population (women of child bearing age and children up to the age of 15) should eat no more than one meal per week of predator fish, which includes largemouth, smallmouth, spotted, white, striped, or hybrid bass, walleye, saugeye, and flathead catfish. In an effort to reduce exposure to mercury, everyone should eat smaller fish and eat a variety of fish.
DEQ recognizes the importance of the sport of fishing in Oklahoma. Fish provide many benefits that are essential for a healthy diet. Some fish do pose a higher risk for mercury contamination; therefore, DEQ encourages people to be mindful of the amount of fish they eat. DEQ actively promotes fishing and urges Oklahomans to enjoy the sport while following the suggested guidelines for fish consumption.
The levels of mercury in a lake do not affect the lake's safety as a source of drinking water or for lake recreation such as swimming and boating.
DEQ will continue to test lakes throughout Oklahoma. Updates as well as additional advisories will be posted on the Web site listed above as soon as the data is available.
A series of public meetings to address mercury in fish will be held starting July 13. More information on these meetings will be made available in the coming days.
Detailed information on the lake specific fish consumption advisory can be found on the DEQ Web site at www.deq.state.ok.us\fish\ or by contacting Jay Wright or Pam Baldwin at (800) 869-1400.
Wildlife Department Offers Tool for Developers to Protect Critical Prairie Chicken Habitat
The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) has released its new tool designed to protect and conserve imperiled lesser prairie chickens affected by land development in western Oklahoma.
″The tool, known as the Oklahoma Lesser Prairie Chicken Spatial Planning Tool, is a habitat-based model that quantifies the value of every acre within lesser prairie chicken range,″ said Russ Horton, research supervisor for the Wildlife Department. ″This tool should prove invaluable to responsible developers and planners as they search for sites where development would least impact Oklahoma′s dwindling population of lesser prairie chickens.″
The lesser prairie chicken is identified as a species of greatest conservation need in Oklahoma and is a candidate for federal listing as threatened, range-wide. The sand shinnery and sand sagebrush native rangelands of northwest Oklahoma are crucial for survival of this species. The same area also provides some of Oklahoma′s most abundant sources of energy including wind, oil and natural gas. Efforts to harvest this energy are projected to rapidly intensify over the next few years.
″Oklahoma′s wind industry will provide a clean source of domestically produced energy that will contribute to our state′s future economic growth,″ noted Secretary of Energy Robert Wegener. ″It is critical for this industry and others impacting the prairies of western Oklahoma to utilize tools such as this.″ continued...

Last summer Aiken High junior Carter Hunt realized he wasn't doing anything with his life.
Through his encouragement, teachers Emily Geyer and Worth Swearingen are sponsoring a mock trial team at AHS.
Hunt and other team members will participate in a regional meet at the University of South Carolina's School of Law on Saturday.
Mock trials give teens the chance to take part in a trial format – portraying members of the plaintiff and defense teams, witnesses, plaintiffs and defendants. The program is sponsored by the S.C. Bar's Law Related Education Division.
"I did this at Schofield (Middle School)," Hunt said. "There are a lot of things we don't know yet, but we're learning to be creative."
Aiken High's team will compete against A.C. Flora, Ft. Mill, Lexington, Mid-Carolina, Nation Ford and Spring Valley.
North Augusta High will participate in another regional at the Lexington County Summary Court Center. The other contestants will be Blythewood, Chapin, Dreyer, Dutch Fork, Irmo, St. Frances Xaiver and York Preparatory Academy. A total of 12 teams from five regional contests will move onto the state finals to be held March 8 and 9.
Brandon Muniz also participated in mock trial at Schofield. He and Hunt will portray attorneys in a fictitious class. Unlike like most actual trials, the teams for the defense and plaintiff split the duties of talking to witnesses.
"It's different, more in-depth," Muniz said. "We have to learn a lot on how to present ourselves in court."
The S.C. Bar's public relations coordinator, Kylie Morgan, explained in a press release the fictitious case the students are tackling. Essentially, news anchor/reporter Logan Gray is suing a company over bedbugs in its hotel. The company countersues Gray, claiming the news story he wrote about it is defamatory.
When Hunt approached Geyer last fall about sponsoring a team, she was happy to do so.
"I really like the kids and enjoy helping them out," she said. "But I have no law background at all. I'm like the mother hen."
Swearingen is a former attorney who has taught at Aiken High since 2000.
"This is fun because it's a game," he said. "Doing it for real can be stressful with real consequences for real people. I'm happy teaching, and it's fun to coach something for them to learn. They are nervous out there, because it's like being in a play until you get on stage. I've really pushed them."
The team effort has provided another opportunity, said member Cassie Flanders.
"It's really fun getting together after school," she said. "We all knew each other, but hadn't interacted as much before."
North Augusta High School teacher Rick Gill has coached his mock trial program for several years
"We have a better understanding of what the process includes," he said. "I have four returning members and some new recruits with much potential."
Gill also appreciates the contributions of teacher Jane Monroe, who has been a huge help with preparations and practices. A NAHS graduate, Joseph Pippen, is serving as the team's attorney adviser
"All in all, I'm looking forward to more competitive matches from our squad," Gill said.

All high school senior classes like to think they're leaving behind a legacy for future students to emulate. However, the accomplishments more often than not carry a meaning for that class only. The class of 1938 is a different case all together.
That class was a forerunner in several categories, including publishing Hillsville High School's first yearbook and staging a successful protest. Alma Sutphin, 92, is one of the eight remaining members of that class, and the person responsible for naming that first yearbook.
"We had wanted to have a yearbook, and someone asked, 'What should we name it?', and I turned to Ottie Padgett, and said, 'How about The Trail Mark?'" recalled Sutphin, who may have the only copy of that historic publication. "The Trail Mark cost $5; that was a lot during the depression."
Vergie Horton was not only editor in chief of "The Trail Mark," but wrote a school song, "Hail To Our School" and a poem "The Rainbow Trail," that were published in the yearbook. Elsie Goad, Mary Ruth Redd, Lalah Horsley and Marjorie DeHaven were assistant editors, while Nancy Belle Kirby was the business manager, and Moir Martin, John Cruise, Ethel Marie Goad and Gradye Wade were assistant business editors. Curtis Cochran was the art editor, Clemens Phippps the assistant art editor, Sena Montgomery the humor editor and Ella Howlett the assistant humor editor. The yearbook contained photographs of the freshmen through senior classes and a listing of class officers, the principal and teachers, bus drivers and janitors, and all the student clubs. It also contained a class history, a senior diary, and a senior hall of fame (superlatives).
However, the yearbook may not have been the class of 1938's biggest success. Thanks, in part, to the students' actions, football and home economics were adopted by Hillsville High School that year.
"It was the spring of 1937 and May Day, and kids had a habit of running away from school. So we took off to the Shot Tower, spent the day there," said Sutphin. "When we got back, we all sat down on the wall in front of the courthouse. Mr. P.W. Jones, our principal, came by and asked 'What are you kids doing here?' We told him we were striking for football and home economics. He told us to march back to the high school and meet him in the auditorium, or we'd be expelled."
Sutphin said that she and her classmates met with Jones and "a few other people," and "in the fall of 1938 we got football, but I don't think we got home economics until the next year."
The class of 1938 also buried a time capsule at what is the former Hillsville High School and now the Carroll County Intermediate School. However, the capsule was buried under a tree that eventually died and was cut down, said Sutphin. She added that some members of the class attempted to find the time capsule years later, but to no avail.
For many years, Sutphin and her classmates held reunions.
"We must have had 20-some reunions," said Sutphin. "We'd meet at Doe Run Lodge, have dinner on Friday night and have the best time. Everybody would get up and tell how rich they were."
Although Sutphin's class has dwindled to a precious few, that fact hasn't dimmed her memories.
"I was in a good class. We were nice and I think we had a lot of respect for our parents. We didn't have much money – the bus drivers would sometimes give us money – but we had some good times," she said.

Tobacco-Free at UIC
As of July 1, UIC is a tobacco-free campus, prohibiting all forms of tobacco — cigarettes, cigars, pipes, chewing tobacco, electronic cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products — anywhere within campus boundaries.
"The University of Illinois at Chicago is committed to creating and maintaining a healthy, productive environment for all its students, faculty, staff, patients and visitors," Chancellor Paula Allen-Meares and Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services Mark Donovan said in an email to the campus community March 15 that announced the policy.
UIC has prohibited smoking indoors and near building entryways since 1995. Last year, discussions within a UIC committee and subcommittees led to the recommendation to make the campus tobacco-free.
The policy was finalized after consultation with the University of Illinois president, UIC vice chancellors and deans, the UIC Senate, and student government organizations for undergraduate, graduate and health professions students.
According to the Tobacco-Free College Campus Initiative, nearly 800 U.S. college campuses are tobacco-free or will become so in the near future.
Those campuses include the City Colleges of Chicago, Rush University, College of DuPage, five Indiana University campuses, St. Louis University, all University of California campuses, University of Florida and University of Oregon. The University of Illinois campus at Urbana-Champaign will become smoke-free Jan. 1, 2014.
FAQ about the UIC Tobacco-Free Campus Policy
- Does this mean I can't smoke anywhere on campus?
- As of July 1, no smoking is allowed within campus boundaries. The use of all tobacco products is prohibited on all campus grounds and buildings, in all university-owned vehicles, and in private vehicles on campus. This includes all private and public areas in student residence halls. More maps of UIC
- What about other tobacco products?
- The presence of tobacco products on campus poses a health risk for everyone at UIC. All forms of tobacco are prohibited, including but not limited to cigarettes, cigars, pipes, water pipes (hookahs), chew, electronic cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products.
- How will UIC let people know about the new policy?
- Signs will be posted in various areas around campus and all ashtrays will be removed from university property. New students and staff will be informed of the policy at orientation. The heads of campus units will be responsible for communicating the policy to current and future students and staff. Download free posters for your office or area: UIC version | UI Health version (PDFs).
- How will the policy be enforced?
- We are confidently counting on the thoughtfulness, consideration and cooperation of smokers and nonsmokers alike. All members of the campus community — faculty, staff, students, patients and visitors — share responsibility for respecting the policy and its motivations, and for making others aware and encouraging them to comply.
- Concerns should be brought to the attention of the person in charge of the facility or the supervisor of the work area.
- Repeated violations by an individual may lead to disciplinary action.
Resources to stop smoking
Research shows that many successful quitters develop a plan before they begin.
Here are some resources recommended by UIC experts on smoking cessation:
- Tobacco Treatment Center, Outpatient Care Center, University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences System, 312-413-4244. Covered by most insurance plans.
- Illinois Tobacco Quit Line, Illinois Department of Public Health and American Lung Association of Illinois, 1-866-QUIT-YES (1-866-784-8937). A free resource that offers a free "quit kit" as well as support via online chat or phone with tobacco-treatment counselors.
- Become An Ex, a website developed by a nonprofit organization in partnership with the Mayo Clinic. Its free services include tools to create a personalized plan to stop smoking, blogs and online discussions.
- Smokefree.gov, a website of the National Cancer Institute, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Besides information on how to quit, it offers free services that include a text messaging program and ways to show support for friends and family who are trying to quit.
- Tips From Former Smokers, a free website of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that includes stories from people who quit successfully.

- Critical line of the deconfinement phase transition (2005)
- Phase diagram of strongly interacting matter is discussed within the exactly solvable statistical model of the quark-gluon bags. The model predicts two phases of matter: the hadron gas at a low temperature T and baryonic chemical potential muB, and the quark-gluon gas at a high T and/or muB. The nature of the phase transition depends on a form of the bag mass-volume spectrum (its pre-exponential factor), which is expected to change with the muB/T ratio. It is therefore likely that the line of the 1st} order transition at a high muB/T ratio is followed by the line of the 2nd order phase transition at an intermediate muB/T, and then by the lines of "higher order transitions" at a low muB/T.
- Fluctuations and NA49 (2005)
- A brief history of the study of fluctuations in high energy nuclear collisions at the CERN SPS performed by NA49 is presented. The ideas and the corresponding experimental data on fluctuations are discussed from the point of view of their sensitivity to the onset of deconfinement.
- Energy and system size dependence of chemical freeze-out in relativistic nuclear collisions (2005)
- We present a detailed study of chemical freeze-out in p-p, C-C, Si-Si and Pb-Pb collisions at beam momenta of 158A GeV as well as Pb-Pb collisions at beam momenta of 20A, 30A, 40A and 80A GeV. By analyzing hadronic multiplicities within the statistical hadronization model, we have studied the parameters of the source as a function of the number of the participating nucleons and the beam energy. We observe a nice smooth behaviour of temperature, baryon chemical potential and strangeness under-saturation parameter as a function of energy and nucleus size. Interpolating formulas are provided which allow to predict the chemical freeze-out parameters in central collisions at centre-of-mass energies > 4.5 GeV and for any colliding ions. Specific discrepancies between data and model emerge in particle ratios in Pb-Pb collisions at SPS between 20A and 40A GeV of beam energy which cannot be accounted for in the considered model schemes.

10. One of them is the Filene's sale.
Blair: Four major holidays stand between Thanksgiving and her being a June bride.
9. Some girls have all the luck.
Blair to Sage: Besides, she's Serena van der Woodsen, he's a man. He's probably going to go back to her anyway.
8. Blair Waldorf: Mathlete.
Blair: Well, 90% of me is sorry. 10% of me is glad I was right.
7. Just around the East River bend.
Blair: Pocahontas needs her John Smith.
Chuck: I always thought of myself as a John Rolfe kind of man.

You don't have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces—just good food from fresh ingredients.
Julia Child
Back to top.
A little later in this newsletter, you'll find an article I wrote about one-pot meals, with some cooking tips for people like me who want to limit their kitchen mess to one pot. After I wrote it, however, this question occurred to me: "Why wash even one pot?" And sure enough, there are many ways you can make yourself three hot meals a day without dirtying even one pot. All you need is a little ingenuity and a stark phobia of the kitchen sink.
Dishes! Foiled again! One of the greatest inventions ever for the lazy chef is something I call "packet cuisine." There's a wide variety of recipes you can make by placing all the ingredients on a piece of foil, folding it up tight to seal it, and placing it in a hot oven until everything's piping hot and infused with the flavorings you've included. One of my fast foil favorites is super-easy and mess-free. Place a piece of your favorite fish (I'm a big salmon fan) in the center of a large sheet of foil and pull up the sides a bit so the liquids won't run out while you're preparing the dish. Add some lemon juice, fresh dill, scallions, salt, pepper, and a splash of olive oil, then seal up the foil. Bake the fish packet in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, and you'll have a perfectly steamed piece of fish—with no dishes to wash. I know what you're thinking: "Sounds good. But won't I be up all night washing the knife and cutting board I used to chop the scallions and dill?" Not if you use one of modern man's handiest implements—the scissors! In the interest of hygiene, these should be a dedicated pair of scissors for food, not the ones you cut your hair with, and should, at the very least, be rinsed off between uses. But make sure to cut the scallions and dill or any other favorite herb over the fish, and voilà, flavor with much less fuss!
You can use the foil packet technique to cook chicken breasts (they'll take longer to cook than fish—make sure all pink is gone from center of meat and juices run clear), and if you don't want them to be mushy, you can unwrap them after they've cooked through and toss them under the broiler (on a sheet of foil of course—no point in having to scrub the broiler pan!) to brown them. Pieces of lean beef and pork can go right under the broiler, again on a piece of foil. (Make sure you preheat the broiler first.) Five minutes on each side should give you a nice medium-rare steak (depending on thickness). Also, you can save cleanup time on any ovenware—broiler pan, baking pan, cookie sheet—by lining it with foil before you cook. (Please remember, though, never to use foil in the microwave.) When you're done cooking, pitch the foil, and your ovenware is clean! (And to be environmentally conscious, rinse off the foil and put it in your recycling bin.)
The nuclear option. Of course, the microwave oven has transformed the lazy cook movement more than any other appliance. You can make a variation of almost any dish with just a few ingredients, a paper plate, and some paper towels or plastic wrap.
Some may question whether using paper products is the most environmentally friendly option, and it's true that using a plastic or ceramic dish saves trees lost through excessive paper plate use. Then again, you're not using water to wash the paper plate or sending dishwashing detergent into the wastewater supply. Keep in mind, however, that although paper plates are recyclable, they can't be recycled once they've been soaked with grease or other cooking juices.
My friend swears by Quick Rice Surprise. Stock up on rice. There are a bunch of microwaveable rice products on the market that work well—though we would recommend using brown rice or wild rice, so you get more fiber. First, prepare the rice according to the package instructions, then search your refrigerator for any condiments or leftovers that would go well with the rice (that's the surprise!). Salsa or hot sauce is a great addition to Quick Rice Surprise. Also consider using nonfat cheese, sour cream, or yogurt; any leftover turkey, chicken, or lunch meat; tuna; soy sauce; or your favorite spices. This is also a great way to use up any leftover fresh vegetables, or you could add some frozen, thawed vegetables to the mix.
Actually, frozen or leftover cooked fresh vegetables also make a great base for a yummy spur-of-the-moment microwave dish. I'm partial to nuking some Brussels sprouts and topping them with a little Parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar for a tasty snack or side dish.
Containers contain the mess. Sure, we were brought up to believe that eating straight from the container or drinking straight from the milk carton was disgusting, but it can also be a very practical way of dining in. For example, I usually buy 16-ounce containers of nonfat cottage cheese. For my first serving, I usually empty half the container into a bowl (which I later have to wash—boooo!); doctor it up with my favorite salsas, hot sauces, or spices; and then eat. The only thing better is the second time I whip up my spicy cottage cheese mixture—in the container! Yes, you heard right. I mix it up and eat it right out of the container and then throw the container in the recycling bin! No fuss, no muss—just a high-protein low-calorie snack or meal! This technique also works great with yogurt and similar packaged items. Also, if you can bear doing a big load of dishes once a week, you can do what I do and cook up a big pot of healthy something or other and dispense the leftovers into recyclable plastic containers for later dishwashing-free (or -delayed) consumption.
The food is the plate. Why do the dishes when you can eat the dishes? There are plenty of whole wheat breadstuffs that have enough structural integrity to be used as cooking and serving vessels. Try a mini-pizza on a whole wheat pizza shell, a whole wheat tortilla, an English muffin, or a lavash. A little tomato sauce, your favorite veggies, and some nonfat or low-fat mozzarella and you're good to go. Or you could make a run for the border. A friend of mine gave me this easy burrito-making tip. She spreads some nonfat refried beans and nonfat cheese on a whole wheat tortilla and sticks it in her toaster oven until the beans are warm and the cheese is melted. Then she adds a little salsa, nonfat sour cream, black olives, and some scissor-chopped scallions on top, and enjoys a healthy vegetarian meal, with no cleanup!

For a lot of us, an elegant sit-down family dinner means serving the chicken without the bucket. Having to work until 5:00 or 6:00 at night and then having to come home and whip up something your children will eat that won't get you reported to Protective Services can be a challenge for anyone. Then after the cooking, the serving, and potentially the force-feeding, you get to spend the rest of the evening doing the dishes and cleaning your kitchen so you can do it all again tomorrow. They never show that part on Martha Stewart. No wonder you have the pizza place on speed-dial. But it's possible to eat both quickly and healthily. Here are a few ideas for getting something nutritious on the table in a hurry, and the best part? Only one pot to clean!
(And for single people, invest in some airtight containers, freeze your leftovers, and be a slave to Lean Cuisine® no more!)
Shortcut: Many grocery stores sell mixes of stir-fry vegetables already chopped and combined in their produce or frozen foods sections. They won't be quite as delicious as freshly chopped, but as long as they don't have any extra ingredients (frozen mixes especially might add some sauce or salt you don't want), they're just as healthy.
Shortcut: Take a look a little later on in this newsletter for a terrific reduced-fat meatloaf recipe that follows the principles we've just laid out for you. It's delish!
Also, not good at separating eggs? Most grocery stores sell cartons of egg whites on their own. Or you can use egg substitutes, like Egg Beaters®. In addition to being healthier, they're also more convenient. No cracking, scrambling, or getting hands and bowls dirty. It may only save a couple of minutes, but those are minutes better devoted to serious 'loafing!
Shortcut: Most supermarkets' meat departments sell pre-cut cubes of meat or fish, all wrapped up and ready to go. Also, it's always good to have a couple of favorite staple vegetables in the freezer or a can or two of beans on hand to throw into the pot.
Shortcut: Most casseroles can be assembled a day ahead of time, so if you're anticipating a late day at the office, you can make the casserole the night before, and just pop it into the oven the next day. That overnight bonding time you give your ingredients will make the casserole that much tastier.

Contract awarded to update state web portalSTAFF REPORT | November 29,2012MONTPELIER A Connecticut company has been selected to design and implement Vermonts new online business service portal for the Division of Corporations.
PCC Technology Group of Bloomfield, Conn., was awarded the contract to create the new system that will allow Vermonters to transact the majority of their business with the state online, Secretary of State James Condos announced Tuesday.
We currently run on an outdated DOS system, combined with over 60,000 pieces of paper mailings, the cost of stamps, the envelopes, and the inefficiency associated with that process, Condos said. We looked at best practices in other jurisdictions where they have successfully leveraged information technology to reduce waste, increase response times, and provide greater value to the taxpayer.
The first phase of the new system will introduce the online annual report function which will go live in the first quarter of 2013. The entire system will be fully functional by early 2014.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Yes, your mutual fund may own some Greek stocks. No, most likely not a lot.

If you want to measure the distance between two or more places, Google Maps can be pretty helpful.
One way to do that is to add the "Distance Measurement Tool" mapplet and create a path on the map. You can add as many points as you want and if you make a mistake, there's an option to delete the last point. Distances can be expressed in Metric units or English units, but if you're feeling geeky there are many other less known units you can choose: Bohr radius, Egyptian remen, nautical mile, Olympic swimming pool, light-year, PostScript point and more.
"My Maps" can also be used to create personalized maps. Add lines, define a path and change it by dragging one of the white rectangles placed on the path. The personalized map can be saved for future reference, printed, shared with others and embedded in a site.
It's interesting to compare these distances with those obtained from driving directions. To customize the route, drag the blue line or add a new destination in the sidebar.
Google Earth offers similar ways to measure distances. In both Google Maps and Google Earth, "measuring is calculated using the lat/lon coordinates from point to point and does not consider elevation."
Only the distance measurement mapplet lets you choose between metric and English units of measures. The path from "My Maps" shows the total distance in miles, while the driving directions show the units of measures used in a country.

School Construction
The Illinois General Assembly passed the School Construction Law (Public Act 90-548) in December 1997, largely to address the shortage of classroom space due to population growth or aging buildings. The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and the Capital Development Board (CDB) administer the program.
To date, the School Construction Grant Program has benefited 497 School districts in every region of the state and provided over $3.1 billion in state funds for building and renovating local public schools. The most recent round of funding in August of 2013 depleted all funds currently authorized for the program to date by the Illinois General Assembly and Governor. The Illinois General Assembly and Governor will need to approve additional appropriations and bond authorization before additional districts can be entitled from the 2004 through 2015 Application Cycle Listings.
For more information, please continue to visit links within this site, the Capital Development Board site or call the School Business Services Division at (217) 785-8779.

CRESTVIEW — The City Council on Monday voted not to pursue a settlement for a downtown alley's ownership. However, family members who claim the property say a nearly yearlong battle doesn't end there.
The alley in dispute, behind Florida A&M University's Pharmacy School, serves Main Street businesses in buildings once owned by the late Purl G. Adams. His daughter-in-law, Barbara, and his grandson, Purl Adams III, claim the alley is part of their property.
"I'm not gonna stop just at their decision," Purl Adams III said, referring to the city council action. "I'm not saying we're going to court. I'm saying that there's other avenues to pursue."
The city had proposed paying $55,000 to Barbara Adams to ensure the city's access and official ownership of the alley. Council members changed course after reviewing a Nov. 18 1942 warranty deed during a five-minute recess. Purl G. Adams, his wife Edna and W.R. Taylor deeded the alley to the city for $10 and a promise that the property would remain a public alley. For council members, that was enough evidence to stop the settlement.
"I'm holding an official document on file with the city clerk's office ... it says this city owns that property," Council President Robyn Helt said during Monday's meeting.
"Based on what I am holding in my hand, I say fight it. If we lose, we lose," Councilman Shannon Hayes said.
Councilman Thomas Gordon also voted down the settlement. Council members Mickey Rytman and Joe Blocker dissented.
Purl Adams said he didn't hear about the council's action and didn't know city leaders planned to discuss the alley dispute until the afternoon after it happened. After learning a June 21 executive session on the matter was canceled, Fort Walton Beach-based attorney Jill Crew, representing Barbara Adams, emailed city attorney Jerry Miller requesting the next date that the council would mull the matter.
Crew did not receive an answer to the email, Purl said.
The News Bulletin reached out to Miller, who offered no comment. The city's June 24 meeting agenda, released at least four days beforehand, included the alley item.
"I am very disappointed in the city of Crestview's actions," Purl Adams said in a statement. "I would like to believe that, just maybe, the past and present council members do not or did not know the story concerning the alleyway, or the behind-the-scenes happenings, or just possibly everyone has been kept in the dark about the situation."
The full story, he said, includes the 1942 provision that the "strip of land shall be, remain and forever used as an alley of, for and in the said town for the free use and benefit to the public and said town, as other alleys are so used."
The city didn't use the alley for its intended purpose, so the deed was abandoned under state law, Crew contends.
Then there's the Adamses' 1944 deed that includes the alley, which "trumps the 1942 deed," Purl Adams said.
Then there's the mortgage that Barbara Adams took out on the property in 1996, and an estimated 70 years of property taxes the family has paid on the alley, as county records show.
Additionally, city engineer Fred Cook referred to the property in an Aug. 2, 2011 memo concerning FAMU's water service.
"The area along the east (northeast) side of the building is not a publicly owned alley — it is private property," he said.
Helt and Hayes did not return Thursday afternoon phone calls inquiring about the matter. Gordon offered no comment due to potential litigation. City clerk Betsy Roy did the same.
In past newspaper reports, Miller has said the city knows about such claims "and will heartily defend the city's title."
Meanwhile, the battle has cost the Adamses an estimated $30,000 in legal fees and has taken its toll on his 75-year-old mother, Purl said.
"When all this first started, all my mom asked for from the architect and FAMU was the payoff for her mortgage so she could deed the alleyway to whoever and make all of this go away. The mortgage was around $25,000," he said. "The city decided to file a suit, causing mental stress on my mother, an elderly widow ... not to mention the added stress of having to retain an attorney...
"I really think that the council should take control, use some common sense, and let's resolve this issue once and for all. It has been simple all along."

Left College, last of June - 1864 and temporarlly joined Genl Bradley T. Johnson's command, in Genl Earlys Army. Went on towards Washington, D.C. with Cavalry (1st Md Reg. I think) after the fight at Mon___y Junction. In a fight near Rockville had my horse shot through the mouth. We then crossed the Potomac and I left the Maryland Reg. and went home. In fall of 1864, joined Co. D. 9th Va Reg. and took part in all engagements until the surrender in Apr. 1865. My horse gave out and I walked home from Appomattox.
John Armstead Palmer, Maria Lee's younger brother, was born at Clifton near Kilmarnock (VA) 21 Jan 1846 and died there on 7 Dec 1929. He was a student at Mount St. Mary's in Maryland when he left to fight. He received a Confederate Disability Pension payment of $35 in 1924 and is listed on a Company D roster of the 9th Virginia Cavalry compiled by Robert Krick. Both the Roster and Pension payment indicate that no official documents recorded Palmer's service, but sworn statements from fellow soldiers and United Daughters of the Confederacy rosters supported his service.
General Johnson's 1st Maryland fought at Monocacy Junction in June, 1864. They fought at Rockville on 13 July 1864 and crossed the Potomac the next day. The 9th Virginia Cavalry fought in and around Petersburg (VA) during the fall of 1864 and spring of 1865. They fought at Dinwiddie Courthouse on 31 March 1865 and surrendered at Appomattox on 9 April 1865.

Suspended license convictions pile up for Brandon manNovember 20,201312 days labor for
unlicensed driver
A Brandon man who pleaded guilty to three counts of driving without a license this week was ordered Monday to serve 12 days on the Department of Corrections work crew.
Joshua P. Lester, 21, who has been convicted of driving with his license suspended five times since March 2010, added three more convictions to that total Monday when he pleaded guilty to new misdemeanor DLS counts brought against him in August and October.
Lester also pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of violating court-ordered conditions of release.
In exchange for his guilty plea, state prosecutors dropped three other DLS charges brought against Lester this year along with another charge of violating his conditions of release.
Starting with two DLS charges brought in February, police in Brandon and Rutland brought the same charge against him twice in August and two more times in October.
According to Rutland Police, Lesters motor vehicle license was suspended indefinitely in 2009.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...
