How to run the perfect NCAA Tournament pool
Mar 17, 2014, 12:00 PM EDT
One of the best things about March Madness is that it sweeps across the entire nation and gets all of the casual sports fans involved. For a few weeks every year, the country turns its complete attention to the NCAA Tournament, and a lot of it has to do with filling out a bracket and entering a pool.
Since we at CBT have been in dozens of different NCAA Tournament pools over the years, we decided to help guide you in the right direction on the ways to make your pool the best that it can be.
College Basketball Talk will also be hosting an NCAA Tournament Pool over at Yahoo!'s Bracket Games, and you can join it right here.
PREVIEWS: East Region | South Region | Midwest Region | West Region
WHAT SHOULD YOU PLAY FOR? This is a question I receive from friends all the time. If you're catering towards a casual audience that includes your relatives and co-workers that know little about college basketball then $5 is probably your best bet. If you're more into the college basketball scene and want to weed out that co-worker that knows nothing from winning your pool and embarrassing you, then $20 might be best to scare away the pretenders.
Not into gambling for money? That's cool, there are plenty of other ways you can gamble in an NCAA Tournament pool besides putting your hard-earned dollars on the line. Maybe bet some push-ups and sit-ups since beach season is approaching (you should probably do them anyway, that Holiday weight is still gripping those love handles), or a lunch or dinner, or tickets to a game next season. You can always get creative when it comes to bragging rights after beating everyone in a bracket pool.
WHAT SHOULD THE SCORING SYSTEM BE? Some pools feature straight scoring for most overall correct picks — one point per game, all games — or the standard escalating points that doubles for each round.
Some have even gotten creative with the escalating points system over the years and changed around the numbers to reflect more importance on certain rounds.
I prefer the escalating points that double for each round:
Round of 64: 1 point
Round of 32: 2 points
Sweet 16: 4 points
Elite Eight: 8 points
Final Four: 16 points
Title Game: 32 points
This is the easiest way to escalate scoring with casual fans while also fairly giving people who predicted champions or Final Four teams a fair shake if they have a poor first-round showing.
Want a unique tiebreaker besides picking the final score of the title game? Force people to get their picks in on Tuesday before the First Four games in Dayton and make each of those games worth 1/2 of a point. With those four games, that's two potential bonus points given to people who put their bracket in early and then you don't have to text them an hour before tip-off on Thursday asking for their picks.

SHOULD YOU ALLOW PEOPLE TO BUY-IN WITH MULTIPLE BRACKETS? No.
People that enter multiple brackets — besides joke entries like mascot brackets — are people who you shouldn't associate with. Period. These are the same people who sandbag your evening plans by waffling on which restaurant to go to or which movie to see. They can't make decisions so they waste everyone's time. This is America's event and you should be overconfident to a fault with your single bracket like everyone else.
HOW SHOULD YOU SEND THE INITIAL EMAIL/WELCOME LETTER? NCAA Tournament pools have reached such epic proportions that half the time it feels like you have no idea which pool you're even entering. We've all entered that friend of a friend's pool and you quickly have no idea who anyone is or what your connection is to the pool itself.
If you're running a pool, take a second to introduce yourself and what you and your pool are about before you demand total strangers to send $20 over Paypal or Chase Quickpay.
Put a contact email address or phone number, maybe even a Twitter handle. Explain when people can expect payouts, how they'll receive payouts and what the payout breakdown will be. Tell people when they can expect scoring updates or any other vital messages. A little communication and common courtesy never hurt anybody and the people in your pool that don't necessarily know you will have a higher comfort level in joining and staying in your pool in future years.
Well, there you have it. Some tips on running an ideal NCAA Tournament Pool.
Have some creative ideas of your own? We'd love to hear them in the comments section. And best of luck in your March Madness Pool endeavors.

1-6 escalating points is by far the best way. Anything else makes the first couple rounds worthless.
- dmcgrann - Mar 17, 2014 at 2:37 PM
My Dad's office had a pool years ago that had a $10 buyin, and had a big participation because half of the pot was paid to the winner and half was used to throw a big party for the participants. The beer and food at the party was worth the $10, win or lose.

I like the way Diane at cheers picked the football teams. Favorite colors and ` a bear is going to beat a dolphin any day`
- LogicalConsideration - Mar 18, 2014 at 11:58 AM
The single bracket rule may work well in parts of the country where college basketball is not a religion. However, on Tobacco Road, we are rife with fans who are both insanely FANatical about their respective teams, but also, are extremely knowledgeable about college basketball. A single bracket rule would force them to either choose their heart or their mind. Bleh. Two entries are common. One, you create a Best Case Scenario for your team and fill in the rest of the bracket around that; the other, you try to set aside your team loyalty and realistically eliminate your team when/if logic dictates you should. This isn't anyone being a jerk. It is considered to be completely socially acceptable. It's not anyone waffling; it's a way of avoiding mutually incompatible situations.
Besides, each bracket requires a separate entry fee. So, the extra one makes the pot bigger. What's there to whine about?

Vintage: 2010
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
Varietal: Red Bordeaux
The Bordeaux region of France consistently enjoys the reputation of being the finest region for wine making in the world. But what is it that makes this area around the Gironde river so special? The secret lies in their ancient and careful blend of no more than six high quality, flavorful and unique grape varietals. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Carménere are all permitted for usage in the production of Bordeaux wines, and the winery carefully considers how to balance the fine points of one varietal against another. Most commonly, Cabernet Sauvignon is used as the main grape varietal, usually with vintners making wines containing upwards of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon grape juices. This varietal lends its big, spicy, fruity flavors and astringent, tannin-heavy character to the mix. Normally, this strong varietal is then tempered and rounded by Merlot, a fleshy, fruity and far lighter bodied grape, containing far fewer tannins and a much brighter flavor The blended wines are normally left to age in oak, where they can continue to work together and produce their wonderful results.
Region: Bordeaux
The wineries of Bordeaux in France are widely considered to be amongst the finest on earth, with many of the chateaux found on the Left Bank and in the Médoc region routinely demanding enormous prices and being snapped up by collectors looking to add the best examples of the world's white and red wines to their cellars. Bordeaux's secret to success comes from the fact that the terroir of the region is exceptionally rich in minerals, helped by the clay and gravel soils which typify the area and the Gironde river which runs through it. Normally humid in climate, the nearby Atlantic coast supplies cooling breezes, making Bordeaux a winemaker's dream and resulting in extremely high quality grape varietals. For hundreds of years, the wineries of Bordeaux have been mastering the art of wine blending, and today produce a wide range of wine styles using many of the sixteen grape varietals permitted to grow in the region by French law.
Country: France
Year in, year out, France enjoys its prestigious reputation as the producer of the finest wines in the world. With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.

Monday's college roundup
Cook, Hood invited to USA camp
DURHAM — Duke's Quinn Cook and Rodney Hood are among the 29 collegiate athletes the USA Basketball Junior National Team Committee has invited to compete for roster spots on the 2013 USA Basketball Men's World University Games Team.
USA Basketball will hold a training camp June 24-30 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Cook is coming off a sophomore campaign during which he averaged 11.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists while helping Duke to a 30-6 record and an NCAA Elite Eight appearance. The Washington, D.C., native started 34 games in 2012-13 and had 22 double-figure scoring efforts.
Hood sat out the 2012-13 season because of NCAA transfer rules after leaving Mississippi State following his freshman season. The Meridian, Miss., native is expected to make an immediate impact for the Blue Devils next season. As a freshman, Hood averaged 10.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game with a 2.13:1 assist-to-turnover ratio en route to earning SEC all-freshman accolades.
Ogilvie advances to U.S. Open
Former Duke men's golf standout Joe Ogilvie advanced through sectional qualifying Monday and will be in the field at next week's U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa.
Ogilvie, a 1996 Duke graduate, was among nine players to qualify at the Colonial Country Club Sectional Qualifier in Memphis, Tenn., with a 6-under 137 for the day. After posting a 3-under 69 in the morning round on the South Course, he recorded another solid round of 3-under 68 in the afternoon at the North Course.
For his career on the PGA Tour, Ogilvie has captured one win at the 2009 U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee to go along with 26 top-10 finishes. Ogilvie has found success in the major championships, finishing in the top 25 at the Masters, British Open and the PGA Championship. His top finish at the U.S. Open is a tie for 36th in 2008 at Torrey Pines.
Kevin Streelman also represent the Blue Devils in the field at Merion, as Streelman owns three top-five finishes on the season highlighted by a win at the Tampa Bay Championship presented by EverBank.
Streelman, currently ranked 36th in the current World Golf Ranking, earned an automatic exemption after being listed in the top 60. He will be playing in his fourth U.S. Open, including his third consecutive.
Boutier second at St. Rule Trophy
Duke rising sophomore Celine Boutier carded rounds of 73, 69 and 71 over the weekend on her way to finishing second at the St. Rule Trophy, which is one of the most prestigious tournaments on the British amateur women's calendar, in St. Andrews, United Kingdom.
Boutier, who is from Montrouge, France, trailed by three strokes heading into the final day of competition and after notching birdies on No. 16 and No. 17, she trailed by only two strokes with the par-four 18th remaining.
ECU extends McNeill's contract through 2017
GREENVILLE — East Carolina has given football coach Ruffin McNeill a contract extension through the 2017 season, the school announced Monday.
The extension will pay him a total of $1.15 million plus incentives. His base salary was raised from $200,000 to $400,000.
The 54-year-old McNeill is 19-19 in three seasons at his alma mater and has guided the Pirates to two bowls.
ECU is leaving Conference USA for the American Athletic Conference in 2014, and new athletic director Jeff Compher says the extension shows the school's confidence in McNeill.
His previous 5-year contract was to expire after the 2014 season. The new deal runs through June 30, 2018.

How to set up off-campus access to library resources
» Online databases, journals, etc., are licensed (subscribed) by the Library. To learn how access from off campus, follow the link above.
What causes disease?
You might start by considering the interaction and interdependence of environmental factors (pollution, disasters, outbreaks) and social factors (smoking, diet, drug use).
» Why is a certain population affected by a nutritional deficiency? Poor diet?
Perhaps also worth considering:
» historical distribution of land use, including during colonial times ...
» the regulatory environment, including crop subsidies, food inspections, etc. ...
» the role of NGOs, IGOs, international aid networks ...
» infrastructure, such as food distribution networks, transportation, etc. ...
» the healthcare and health insurance system ...
» the status of women/girls ...
» ... what else?
Is your topic researchable?
» "The harmful effects of macaroni & cheese consumption among UC Berkeley students"
» "Diabetes among young adults and its relation to dietary fat consumption"
» "Dietary fats and health"
Let's talk about indexing!
» Do you want articles on labor or articles on labor? Or is it labour?
» Do you want articles on HIV (a virus) or articles on HIV diseases?
Index means a controlled vocabulary is used to assign subject terms to articles.

What is evidence? Things to keep in mind:
Reliability and validity
Adopted from Chapter 3, Conducting research literature reviews: from the Internet to paper, by Arlene Fink; Sage, 2010.
Reliable data collection: relatively free from "measurement error."
» Is the survey written at a reading level too high for the people completing it?
Validity refers to how well a measure assesses what it claims to measure
» If the survey is supposed to measure "quality of life," how is that concept defined?
Critical Appraisal of Intervention Studies is a free online learning module from Canada's National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools.
It demonstrates how to assess the quality of an intervention study and how to develop skill in applying critical appraisal to enable you to determine whether that intervention can be applied to your own public health situation.
» Here is a summary table of basic considerations for critical appraisal of intervention studies
The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (UK) has a nice set of brief PDF checklist documents on critically evaluating different types of studies (eg, cohort studies, case-control studies, qualitative studies, etc.).
» This web page also includes a nice summary of "critical reading."
What to consider when looking at survey or estimated data:
Adopted from information on the UCSF Family Health Outcomes Project web site

Alanin and dyes contain nitrogen, is being colorful a special feature in nitrogenous substances?
Introduction from Color Introduction
You can also assume that if a compound has double or triple conjugated (2 or more) bonds it can be colorful.
To answer your question: in alanine there is almost no chance to make double bond in amine group (e.g. $\ce{=NH}$), but nitrogen group ($\ce{O-N=O}$) has a capability to conjunct with other double bonds (can be also delocalized electrons or pi electrons - e.g., nitrobenzene)

Apparently not satisfied with being the UK's advertising enforcer and policeman of the Nutrition and Health Claims Regulation (NHCR), the UK's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has now inserted itself into the scientific debate surrounding vaccines and autism. Advertising standards and scientific debate are not usual bedfellows.
The debate over whether the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) combined vaccine causes autism in a subset of children is one of the most heated of recent years. A UK service called Babyjabs, operated by general practitioner and vaccine researcher Dr Richard Halvorsen, offers parents single or limited combination vaccines, including individual measles, mumps and rubella shots. Babyjabs' MMR information page was recently the subject of an ASA ruling that found it guilty of three "misleading and unsubstantiated" claims, breaching Sections 3, 4 and 12 of the CAP Code.
The effect of the ASA's ruling was to remove suggestions by the Babyjabs MMR page that the MMR vaccine might be a triggering factor for autism in a small proportion of vaccinated children. A fact, which of course is still a very real possibility, despite long and arduous denial by the medical establishment, governments and vaccine manufacturers. A fact that also led directly to the destruction of Andrew Wakefield's medical career in the UK. Although it has complied with the letter of the ruling, the Babyjabs MMR page still contains a couple of references to a potential MMR–autism link, and has in fact added some text about a relevant Italian court ruling.
It's important to realise that Babyjabs is by no means an 'antivaccination' site – it's a vaccination clinic that offers vaccines that may not be easily available elsewhere. Its MMR page is attempting to offer impartial educational information without directly selling anything, and only falls under the ASA's advertising remit because Babyjabs offers a commercial service.
What really concerns us about this case is that the ASA has unilaterally handed itself the authority to police an important scientific debate, with absolutely no basis in law or evidence of any relevant scientific competence. Its ruling merely provides opposing evidence to that provided by Babyjabs, while pointing repeatedly to "general medical opinion" to further justify its decision.
The latter is deliciously ironic, since any natural healthcare advocate who referred to the favourable opinion of a respected body, such as the World Health Organization, would be quickly accused of an 'appeal to authority' by anti-natural skeptics. Oddly enough, the ASA Babyjabs adjudication was triggered by a single complaint – from a proud skeptic.
This isn't the first time we've seen the ASA taking up the cudgel on behalf of the more conventional view and we're sure it's not the last. It's always harder to forge against the tide than to go with it, but thankfully more and more people around the world are demanding change. It's important to keep perspective when faced with these types of challenges. Advertising standards authorities, like the UK ASA, usually have no direct legal or regulatory powers. They are merely enterprises set up to oversee self-regulation of the advertising industry, with no legal ability to levy fines or prosecute anyone. The UK's ASA has managed to get the ear of government so can report individuals or companies to regulatory bodies such as Trading Standards or the medicines regulator. It can also, in exceptional cases, leverage support from the Office of Fair Trading. But less savoury, is the agreement with Google to post its adjudication findings top of the search ranking when a search is carried out on that business or individual. For an authority set up to police misleading claims, ironically this action seems the most confusing of all for consumers. Many of whom will never realise that the ASA is a self-assigned industry watchdog, who appoint themselves judge and jury over issues that they may have little or no competence in, such as complex medical and scientific evaluation of evidence.

Thank you for the response.
Firstly I note that you have avoided all of my questions I ask about whether Babyjabs Ltd can truly be considered to be a source of impartial information on MMR that doesnt 'directly sell' as you claim. The potential conflict of interest is obvious.
With regards to the ASA, you misunderstand both their role and how the burden of proof actually works. The burden in advertising lies with those making the claims to demonstrate that they are correct. The ASA did not need, or attempt to disprove anything.
Now in determining whether the evidence supports a claim it is inevitable that the ASA will probably end up make reference to the consensus and may in fact end up making difficult adjudications on very complicated matters. If you had limited you argument to this and avoid overegging the omelette I would have agreed to a point.
I think it's obvious that the claims (now removed) lead readers to the inevitable conclusion that prevalence of autism is increasing and that MMR is linked or is directly causing this rise. Right next to a link selling the single jabs alternative(if you consider 2 out of 3 jabs an alternative).
There is no issue with the ASA referring to WHO and the DH if they represent the consensus view of expert in this field, they are an appropriate authority. A fallacious appeal to authority would be for example using Dr Richard Halvorsen's view, since he goes against the expert consensus, isn't an expert in this particular field and has a potential conflict of interest which may bias his view (selling a book and selling singel jabs).
I also notice you refer to Dr Halvorsen as a 'vaccine researcher'. Would you be kind enough to point me towards any research he has had published in peer reviewed journals on the specific subjects of MMR, vaccines or autism?
Thank you for responding. Engaging in circular arguments is a waste of your and our time, so we'll keep this very short.
Of course there is a commercial interest in Babyjabs - to deny that would be nonsensical. But our story serves merely to address the difficulty inherent in a self-regulatory body, without specific expertise in the field of evaluation of complex medical or scientific research and data, making adjudications that warrant a deep understanding of these issues. The fact that Babyjabs supplies single vaccines, in itself a service provided by only a very limited number of clinics, should not directly affect the quality of educational information it provides.
We believe it is important for clinicians to provide accurate and substantiated information, whether or not they provide commercial services. We support transparency, so believe it is important for commercial interests to be clearly identifiable by the consumer. We have never argued that the only reliable source of data is from non-commercial sources.
I just find it a bit odd that you emphasise the 'educational aspect' when at the end of the day it is information which has been provided by a private limited company - Babyjabs Ltd.
Private companies are not altruistic they operate to make money. If education on vaccines was his purpose, he could have gone for charitable status - much more tax efficient. Do you think that a commerical company is likely to be a wholly impartial source of information, or do you think there is potential for a conflict of interest to occur? To quote the "Do I, Don't I section of your MMR campaign page:
"You know that when people or websites are selling something they may not be offering completely unbiased information — and that goes for governments and companies as well as individuals of course".
It seems to me that if a Pharma company offer advice you cry foul, but don't hold others to account to the same standard.
If you read the ASA adjudiction you will see that rather than wanting to be a self appointed "authority to police an important scientific debate" the ASA only actually investigated three very specific claims made by the Doctor on his website. In each case he was found to have insufficent evidence to make these claims and was asked to remove them.
Whether intentional or not, the inaccurate information removed from the website would have done one thing - further increase worry surrounding MMR and encouraged people to seek alternatives like the single vaccinations.
Which it just so happens Babyjabs Ltd sell.
You have made this out to be a battle about a much larger issue - the wider MMR debate but it not, its about misleading advertising and the specifics.
Hi Slipp, we read the ASA adjudication before writing the story, thanks – and the fundamental point we made was that the ASA hasn't uncovered any "inaccurate information", meaning information that can be proven to be incorrect. As we said in the article, all the ASA did was, "Provide opposing evidence to that provided by Babyjabs, while pointing repeatedly to "general medical opinion" to further justify its decision". In fact, we may have been too kind, since the only opposing scientific evidence - as opposed to the WHO and UK Dept of Health positions - presented by the ASA was a single, non-specific reference to the Cochrane Collaboration!
In our view, the following sentence sums up both the ASA's attitude and its adjudication: "Consumers were likely to infer from the claim, that the "real increase in the number of children with autism" was not just down to increased diagnosis, but the vaccine might have played a role in bringing about that increase". The vaccine may indeed have played such a role; indeed, the ASA is happy for Babyjabs to say on its MMR page, "Research...has been unable to exclude the possibility that [the MMR vaccine] is causing autism in a small number of susceptible children". But step beyond bounds of debate arbitrarily set by the ASA, a body with no scientific expertise of its own and clearly reliant on establishment-friendly experts, and it immediately sets about removing evidence that might prompt the public to conclude that MMR could play a role in the increased autism figures. Which is something that even the ASA admits is a possibility!
The ASA is not only getting involved in scientific debate, but it's tying itself in logical knots trying to protect the establishment viewpoint.
How can you claim Babyjabs is educational only, and not a commerical entity. This is inaccurate and misleading.
Babyjabs Limited is a private limited company (although dormant at present) which is owned entirely by Dr Richard Halvorsen who is the only shareholder.
Hi 'Slipp', thanks for your comment, although we can't work out quite where you're coming from. Our article clearly states, "[Babyjabs'] MMR page is attempting to offer impartial educational information without directly selling anything, and only falls under the ASA's advertising remit because Babyjabs offers a commercial service." The link we provided takes the reader to a price list on the Babyjabs website! In other words, the MMR page itself is educational, but the overall website within which the MMR page sits is commercial.

Sept. 20 will be a special day for the East Tennessee State University and General Shale Natural History Museum and Visitors Center at the Gray Fossil Site with the first running of the Fossil 5K.
Being held to benefit and support its education programs and museum exhibitions and highlight a yearly event celebrated each year — International Red Panda Day — the 9 a.m. race will bring runners around the site and through local residential communities and country roads and loop back to a conclusion near the start. We Run Events, a Tri-Cities running company that puts on and times races, is in charge of laying out and managing the course.
Jennifer Hodge-Barber, marketing manager with the Fossil Site, said Gray doesn't have many races and is ripe for a fundraising event that highlights the site as an educational asset to the area. Many members of the fossil site's staff have recently participated in races and thought they should put one on themselves.
"There aren't a whole lot of races going on here," Hodge-Barber said.
She said Dr. Blaine Schubert, the museum's director, will be running with participants in the race.
"We are excited to host a 5K in Gray because we want to highlight the region's tie to the fossil site, and we want to invite visitors to make the short drive to the museum to see the amazing scientific discoveries right in our backyard," he said.
After the race, everyone who participates will receive free admission to the post-run events, which has free talks about red pandas and their significance to the region, guided tours, kids' activities and more.
One of the talks will come from ETSU's Dr. Steven Wallace, whose expertise involves red pandas. Wallace said he'll give an overview and explain just how important ETSU's fossil site is in the historical research of the creatures. Worldwide, Wallace said, the fossil site in Gray has the best and most complete red panda skeletons.
Hodge-Barber and the staff at the fossil site are hoping people sign up for the race through www.runtricities.org ahead of time for $20, before the entry fee goes up Sept. 17. Early registration will also guarantee participants a race T-shirt. Packet pickup for the run will take place Sept. 19 from 5-6 p.m. and from 7-8:30 the morning of the race.
Hank Brown with We Run Events said the course is somewhat hilly, but is a fair example of how it is to run in Gray, calling the race layout "beautiful." He said working with the fossil site has been great.
"They know how to put on events," Brown said.

Step 3: Place the spinach in a large bowl. Stir in the ricotta, eggs, nutmeg, salt, Parmesan, and pesto. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
Step 4: Spread 1/4 of the tomato sauce in a 13" x 9" baking dish. Carefully transfer one lasagna noodle to the dish. Spread with another 1/4 of the tomato sauce. Evenly spread the spinach filling on top.
Step 5: Add more tomato sauce, the remaining lasagna noodle, and the rest of the tomato sauce.
Step 6: Bake for 35 minutes. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and bake for 10 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Digwig's Collaboration Lasagna Noodles
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously butter two 13" x 9" nonstick baking pans. (If you don't have nonstick pans, line yours with parchment paper and then butter the paper.)
Step 2: Place the cream cheese in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the cream and salt and pepper to taste. Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared pans. Sprinkle evenly with the mozzarella and Asiago or cheddar.
Step 3: Bake for 20 minutes, or until set. Remove from the oven. Invert each egg sheet onto a separate baking sheet. Let cool on wire racks. Cover and refrigerate.
Makes 2 large egg sheets, enough for one lasagna.
Note: The egg sheets can be made a day in advance.

IBM Database Patterns are integrated and configured IBM software that minimizes the time, effort, cost and risk to deploy a fully functional database or data mart in a secure cloud environment. Each workload optimization provides best practices designed to greatly accelerate deployments that do not require significant customization.
Each Pattern is designed to help create a database environment in minutes, eliminating a sometimes lengthy delay in designing, configuring, testing, tuning and deploying each individual solution.
The IBM DB2 with BLU Acceleration Pattern includes IBM DB2 with BLU Acceleration at its core.
For data marts, IBM DB2 with BLU Acceleration Pattern provides the following workload optimizations:
- Data Mart with BLU Acceleration for analytical applications taking benefit of the BLU infrastructure
- Data Mart without BLU Acceleration for analytical applications with smaller footprint
For transactional databases, IBM DB2 with BLU Acceleration Pattern provides the following workload optimizations:
- Transactional Database for applications with a large number of individual transactions
- Transactional Database with high availability disaster recovery for application with a large number of individual transactions and the need for a disaster recovery configuration
In a private cloud environment, IBM DB2 with BLU Acceleration Pattern is available with:
- IBM PureApplication System, designed and tuned specifically for transactional web and database applications. IBM Database Patterns are pre-installed on the system for both transactional and data mart workloads. With the use of IBM Database patterns, the IBM PureApplication System can automatically build and tailor the underlying database based on user requirements.
In addition, the following two patterns support DB2 applications based on previous database releases:
IBM Transactional Database Pattern
The IBM Transactional Database Pattern provides a transactional database framework for departmental OLTP (online transaction processing) applications that do not require very high levels of database customization. The built-in expertise of IBM Transactional Database Pattern makes it possible to create and deploy workload-optimized databases for both test as well as production environments in minutes, thus providing your business with greater agility, flexibility and simplicity while lowering costs and risks.
IBM Transactional Database Pattern is ideal for IT organizations trying to minimize:
- Risks incurred by unmanaged departmental database solutions without data backup or security plans.
- Opportunity costs and other inefficiencies in waiting for the operations group to provision hardware, software, and database infrastructure for the various application teams.
IBM Data Mart Pattern
The IBM Data Mart Pattern provides a data mart infrastructure for data-centric applications. Tuned for the unique I/O throughput required of data mart workloads, the IBM Data Mart Pattern includes data compression capabilities and data movement tools--all designed to help move the business forward with the needed information without delay.
Rather than using unmanaged spreadsheet solutions without data backup and security plans, the IBM Data Mart Pattern enables IT to address operational demands stemming from ad-hoc business analysis by quickly provisioning a data mart environment geared for intensive query requirements with appropriate support.
