Jacob Hacker was born 28 Sep 1803, probably in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. He died 26 Jul 1873, probably in Lancaster county, and was buried in Emanuel Lutheran Church cemetery in Brickerville, Warwick township, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. This is the church that my ancestor Johan Adam Hacker attended.
About 1841 Jacob Hacker married Maria Krieg, daughter of John Elias Krieg and Anna Maria Gibbens. Mary was born 5 Aug 1819 and died 22 Mar 1898, both in Pennsylvania, probably in Lancaster county. She, too, is buried in the Emanuel Lutheran Church cemetery.
As far as I know, Jacob and Mary had the following children:
- William Hocker (ca 1841—bef 1873)
- Elias K. Hacker (1845—aft 1920)
- Allen K. Hacker (1847—1928)
- Martin K. Hacker (1850—1906)
- Henry K. Hacker (1852—1925)
- Benjamin K. Hacker (1856—1938)

Low Testosterone and Bone Health
Bone Growth and Decreased Bone Density
When you're young, bones grow in length and density. As a teen, you reach maximum height, yet bones continue to grow denser until age 30. At that point, bones slowly start to lose density or strength. The density of your bones is affected by heredity, diet, sex hormones, physical activity, lifestyle choices and the use of certain medications.
Most people don't know they have decreased bone density until they get tested or they break a bone. A bone mineral density (BMD) test is the best way to check bone health, since osteoporosis is basically a silent disease. Osteoporosis causes the skeleton to weaken and the bones to break. It poses a significant threat to more than two million men in the United States. One in four men over age 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their remaining lifetime.
But men don't get osteoporosis as often as women. That's because men have larger skeletons, their bone loss starts later and progresses more slowly, and they have no period of rapid hormonal changes.
Male Osteoporosis and Testosterone Effects on Bone
Hypogonadism is widely considered to be an important cause of male osteoporosis, occurring in up to 20% of men with vertebral fractures and 50% with hip fractures. It's of note that as testosterone plays an important part in maintaining a man's skeleton, it also improves bone density in men with hypogonadal osteoporosis. Testosterone is known to decrease bone resorption and stimulate bone mineralization.
Treatments with calcium plus vitamin D and bisphophonates are widely used in men, when osteoporosis is documented and hypogonadism has been excluded. Because there is a lack of information about male osteoporosis, there is not a lot of communication about how to handle the disease, which is a debilitating side effect of testosterone deficiency. It is practical for all men beginning testosterone replacement to receive calcium and vitamin D, and maintain a reasonable exercise regimen. Baseline BMD and follow-up bone density measurements are appropriate with consideration of bisphosphonate treatment as a possibility for those men developing osteoporosis.
To learn more about testosterone therapy and treatment options, please call Dr. Werner's office at (646) 380-2700 in NYC, (914) 997-4100 in Westchester, or (203) 831-9900 in Connecticut, or send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Paul Ratcliffe is the most successful coach in more than 100 years of Stanford soccer, among men or women.
In 11 seasons as head coach, the Stanford women have won one national championship, reached three NCAA finals, won four Pac-12 titles, played in five College Cups, and reached the NCAA third round the past eight seasons.
Ratcliffe, who has never failed to direct the Cardinal to the NCAA tournament, now is Stanford's winningest soccer coach, with a 194-43-21 record (.793) on The Farm. Ratcliffe has more victories than any other coach in Stanford men's or women's soccer history. The men's soccer program began in 1911 and the women's in 1984.
He also is the most successful in the postseason, with a 30-9-2 record in NCAA playoff action. His Stanford teams have an ongoing streak of 21 consecutive NCAA tournament victories at home.
Ratcliffe is a five-time Pac-12 Coach of the Year and three-time NSCAA national Coach of the Year. After Stanford finished 15-6-1 in 2013, his record in 16 years as a collegiate head coach, including five at Saint Mary's, is 249-77-28 (.743).
In 2011, he led Stanford to its first NCAA women's soccer championship, and a third consecutive NCAA final.
Some of the numbers under Ratcliffe are among the most incredible in NCAA Division I women's soccer history. Stanford had a 73-match unbeaten streak (70-0-3) from 2008-13 for the second-longest such streak in NCAA annals. The Cardinal also won 44 consecutive conference matches during the same span for the third-longest streak ever. Also impressive was Stanford's 162-match unbeaten streak when scoring a goal, a stretch that lasted from 2006-13. And Stanford had a 64-match regular-season unbeaten streak from 2008-12.
Four of Ratcliffe's former players competed in the 2012 London Olympics and six appeared in the 2011 World Cup -- no other school claimed as many players in either competition as Stanford.
Just as impressive is the level of talent that has come through the program, headlined by these national players of the year: Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy winners Teresa Noyola (2011), Christen Press (2010) and Kelley O'Hara (2009), and 2011 Soccer America Player of the Year Lindsay Taylor.
At Stanford, Ratcliffe has coached five Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year winners, six players active on national teams, eight first-team NSCAA All-Americans (15 in all), 28 all-conference players, and 57 Pac-12 All-Academic selections.
Stanford has proven to be a complete team under Ratcliffe, consistently among the nation's top scoring teams and among the best defensively. In Ratcliffe's 11 seasons, Stanford has a combined goals-against average of 0.57, a figure that in itself would be among the best in the nation in any given season.
Before arriving at Stanford, Ratcliffe spent five seasons as head coach at Saint Mary's, leading the Gaels to a 55-34-7 overall record. He was a three-time West Coast Conference Coach of the Year. In 2001, he earned West Region Coach of the Year honors when the Gaels - with only one senior in the starting lineup - reached their highest-ever national ranking of No. 7, had a 13-game win streak and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. He would win four more regional coach of the year awards at Stanford.
Before coming to Moraga, Ratcliffe was an assistant at his alma mater, UCLA, from 1994-97. The Bruins posted an undefeated 1997 season, won the Pac-10 title and reached the NCAA quarterfinals. Ratcliffe also served as UCLA's interim head coach from January through August of 1996.
Ratcliffe earned his National "A" License from the United States Soccer Federation in 1999. A 1994 UCLA graduate, Ratcliffe earned his degree in sociology with a specialization in business administration. Ratcliffe, a midfielder, was a four-year letterman, scoring 30 points in 73 matches, and was a member of the 1990 national championship team.
Ratcliffe was born in England and raised in Calabasas, Calif. He went on to play professionally for the Los Angeles United and Anaheim Splash of the Continental Indoor Soccer League in 1993 and 1994.
Ratcliffe and his wife, Amy, live at Stanford and have two daughters, Elena and Chloe.Ratcliffe's Record Year-By-Year

When you visit the office of Dr. Brian Vance in Milford, Ohio his commitment to providing the most current treatment possible for patients will be apparent. The comfortable and relaxing environment he and his staff have created is an added bonus to the quality care his patients receive.
Dr. Vance's proximity to I-275 allows him to serve not only Milford and Loveland, but nearly the entire greater Cincinnati area. Many of Dr. Vance's patients travel from out-of-state simply because they know they will receive some of the finest care available.
"I've had my implants for several years now and I highly recommend them. I was only able to support two implants on my lower jaw because of the lack of remaining bone. Even with just two, it's such an improvement. I have two posts anchored to my lower jaw that connect to my dentures with rubber grommets. The dentures snap in and are held in place by the grommets that fit over the posts. Before I had the procedure, I used denture cream to hold them in place and it was always a gooey mess. During a meal, I would generally have to excuse myself at least once, go to the restroom, take them out, clean them and re-apply the cream; an extreme hassle. Now I usually take them out one time before bed, clean them, and snap them in again.
You can expect needed adjustments from time to time; but overall, I would definitely recommend the procedure. I'm rather used to them now, but when I first got them, I remember how amazed I was at the difference; I could actually enjoy eating again!"
~Steven W.
"Efficient, friendly and caring staff. Excellent facility. Quality care..."

Full detailed profile on JR Chandler (past) Played by Jacob Young on All My Children Daytime Soap Opera.
Jacob Young (ABC)
Birthday: September 10, 1979
Marissa walks into the mansion and tells JR AJ isn't ready to see him yet. JR tells her he will win back his son's trust. If she sees improvement on his part, she will try to change AJ's mind. She leaves and JR hardens as he talks to a photo of his father. He knows Adam wouldn't let anyone steamroll over him. He says it's on. He won't let that "bitch" take AJ from him.
Liza enters the mansion after learning JR had the custody case moved up. Colby joins them and learns Liza is helping JR with AJ. JR informs them he met with the judge and "persuaded" him to favor him in court. Exasperated, Liza thinks the judge will be swayed in the other direction. Liza leaves to try and save his case. Colby badmouths her mother to JR, who defends her. Colby then discovers that JR has spiked his coffee and calls him a selfish drunk. Liza returns and tells JR his plan backfired and he is going to lose his son. JR doesn't care what he has to do – his son won't be raised by two lesbians.
JR finds Dixie still at the mansion in the morning. JR remains cold towards his mother and brings up David. She says she doesn't remember what he did, but she despises David. Tad walks in and JR tells Dixie and Tad if they really want to help him they will testify on his behalf regarding custody of AJ. He declares he's done with alcohol for good and he wants them to vouch for him that he's not drinking. They will stand up for him in court, but they won't lie about the booze. JR leaves to get his son without their help. Once he's gone, Tad tells Dixie they need to talk. JR calls Liza, who stops by much to Colby's irritation. Liza tries to talk to her daughter, but Colby leaves the room. JR tells Liza if she helps him get his kid back, he will help her with Colby.
JR stops Dixie from taking a drink at the mansion because of her heart. Dixie thinks that means he believes she's his mother. JR balks, so Dixie starts to tap a sip. JR shouts, "Don't!" Dixie in turn tries to get her son to stop drinking as well. JR just wants his mother to leave since that's all she does anyway. Dixie tells her son she loves him and has been trying to get back to her family. JR tells her the family was a mess long before they thought she was dead. JR says since she's not dead though, she's going to have to live with the fact that he's a drunk. Dixie is sorry he's in so much pain. JR knows how to numb it and pours himself another drink. He wonders how long she's sticking around this time, assuming she'll take of when it becomes too hard or when someone else comes around. Tad enters and tells JR if he needs to be angry at someone, he should be angry at him. JR states from now on what he does is his choice. He doesn't need either of them. Dixie stops him from leaving the room stating she is moving in to the mansion until she can make things right. Tad thinks it's a bad idea and JR agrees. She declares that if JR goes down it's her failure as a mother and she needs to own her actions. She wants to be there for him.
At Tad's, JR backs away from Dixie, who moves in to hug him. He thinks Tad got David to whip up another look-a-like as part of his tough love plan to straighten him out. Dixie is confused, so JR fills her in on the pain he's suffered through the past few years. He says being sober sucked so he crawled back inside the bottle. He says he might be a drunk, but he's not stupid and won't fall for a fake mommy. Once JR is gone, Tad fills in the blanks for Dixie. She wants to help JR, but Tad tells her she can't. The only person who can help JR, is JR. When Tad heads to the kitchen, Dixie sneaks out. Tad returns and realizes Dixie is gone and finds Cara's house key.
JR heads home and pours himself a drink. Dixie walks in and says she could use a drink herself.
Scott snidely welcomes JR home from jail at the mansion and the cousins exchange barbs. After Scott leaves, upon Madison stopping by, Tad enters. Tad wants JR to come to his house, but JR doesn't want anymore of his tough love. Tad asks him to stop by after he sobers up. He orders him not to show up drunk again, adding, if he doesn't show up at all, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
Cara runs into Dixie at home and cries as she tells her how great it is that she's back for Tad and Kathy. She leaves for work after grabbing her suitcase and placing her house key on the table. Tad returns without JR, much to Dixie's disappointment. He tries to explain JR's drinking problem, as a stunned JR enters the room.
Bianca and Marissa confront JR at Krystal's about him driving drunk in Bianca's car. Marissa rails at him about how AJ doesn't even want to see him. JR thinks Marissa is just filling their son's head with lies. He tells Bianca and Marissa to go off and do what "you people do." Marissa reveals she's gotten a restraining order. Until he goes to rehab and proves he is a responsible parent, she has full custody of AJ. JR becomes enraged and tells the women to get out of his sight. Across the restaurant, Jesse vents to Brot about David letting Angie down. Brot thinks Angie can deal with whatever happens, but Jesse worries about her finding out about Lucy as well. Mookie walks in, which only intensifies Jesse's concerns. Jesse knows it will end badly and declares he needs to tell Angie the truth. Brot doesn't think it's a good idea. Mookie approaches JR after the women have left and quits his job working on the house. JR doesn't care. Mookie doesn't appreciate the way JR is talking to him. He calls him a drunk ass. JR flips his table over and punches him in the stomach. Jesse and Brot intervene. Jesse notes JR is drunk and offers to take him home to sleep it off. JR pushes Jesse, who tells Brot to cuff him for assaulting a police officer.
Tad shows up at Krystal's and smells the alcohol on JR. Jesse offers to take the cuffs off now that Tad is there. JR pleads with Tad to help him. Tad tells JR he loves him, but he thinks it's time for JR to grow up and clean up his own mess. As Brot drags JR away, JR yells out, "I hate you. You're weak. I hate you!"

I have been ordering here for the past 2-3 years. I've always gotten quality food. Fast delivery and great prices. Cheesesteak and wings are excellent. My sister is in love with the bacon and cheese fries! I prefer the mozzarella fries!

I only order a few things: pizza, cheese steak,or.grilled chix salad. all very good
Posted by cdl on 04/28/2013
this place is great. i order at least once a week. the food is consistent, always on time and tasty. the majority of the menu options are pretty simple (pizza, salads, sandwiches, etc.) which makes it a great place if you are in the mood for something specific and uncomplicated. the staff is not very flexible with substitutions or changes to the menu items (with delivery, not sure what it is like at the restaurant) but will occasionally agree to small changes. the wraps (especially the southwest chicken and chicken florentine) are really amazing and arrive hot. the salads are really big (served in the large plastic to-go containers from the deli) and are always fresh. enjoy!

Cheesesteaks and wings are where its at. Boohyahkasha!
Posted by Melz on 01/26/2013

Posted by Mimi on 09/12/2012
I have been ordering from this place since they opened. Love the food always order different item but the one thing I was always get in addition to my order the Buffalo Wings. Absolutely LOVE them. Highly recommend. Good for the money.


text: I'm in high school and planning on running track this year. I run the 400 :tantrum: and the 200. I was planning on getting back into shape doing some running starting this weekend thinking track season doesn't start for another month. However I just found out today that the actual meeys dont start for another month, but practice starts on Monday. Now I am in a jam, I know it's my fault for not staying in shape, which as a runner is something I should be doing year round. I guess I'm just looking for advice from any one with past experience in running track, what should I do? Today I ran 8 150 yard sprints. Any other advice?

Continuing a trend begun by Assassin's Creed 4, Ubisoft has announced exclusive content earmarked specifically for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 incarnations of its upcoming technofetishistic adventure, Watch Dogs.
According to Ubisoft, the Sony-bound versions of the game will feature four missions not found in their Xbox counterparts. Completing these missions will award players a unique outfit, a special Hacking Boost and a "deeper knowledge of DedSec, a key and powerful faction in the Watch Dogs universe." Ubisoft estimates the missions will roughly translate to an hour of play time.
This additional content will be available to PlayStation owners free of charge and is slated to launch alongside Watch Dogs on May 27.
Watch Dogs (03/06/2014)
The exclusive content includes four extra missions, representing one hour of exclusive gameplay, as well as a unique 'White Hat' Hacker Outfit. By playing this additional content, players will have a deeper knowledge of DedSec, a key and powerful faction in the Watch Dogs universe. Once complete, a Hacking Boost named Superior Capacity is acquired which gives players one additional Battery Slot.
The scenario takes place after Aiden Pearce, the vigilante hero of Watch Dogs, catches the eye of DedSec, a notorious hacker group fighting for freedom and security in the digital age. Aiden receives an encoded message asking him to help some members of this organization who want payback. Pearce must use his knowledge of Chicago's complex ctOS network to discover digital vulnerabilities in Umeni Technologies' security network and earn his reward.
We are pleased to also announce that Watch Dogs bundles for both PS4 and PS3 will be available for launch in Europe, which include all of the Sony exclusive content.

As a kid... I wanted to be as strong as Sailor Moon. ;_;
I don not want to sound gay but when I was ten years old I wanted to be sailor Mars because at that time all my friends were girls so I never fit in with any guy things.
actually this may sound dumb but yes... ^-^''' when i was about six or seven, in stores there these magical girl wands and all the girls use to have them at school, and we'd role play the sailor senshi scouts, i had a heart shaped pink one that lights up in three colors, i still have it too but the lights don't work that much anymore T----T i still love it though! in the end of the day we all gave up on winning against each other (because we where too stubborn ^---^' but hey we were kids) and pretended there was a monster infront of us! XD
this is an old picture of it XD
Yes... That sounds funny now... But I wrote a book and draw manga about me - so cooooool sailor senshi... Oh, my, that was long time ago... Really long ago...
We played role games too. My sister, my friends amd me... We didn't call it "role games", of course, we called it... Well, it I translate to English, it would sounds like "Ourself". I know, it's silly. But that was the name for games.
Well... And I wanted to be:
Sailor Moon (5 years old)
Sailor Mars (9 years old)
Sailor Uranus (10 or 11 years... Don't remember exactly).

I always imagine how life would be if there was such thing as Sailor Moon, and I thought I would hang out a lot with the outer senshis... and mostly with Haruka. I love the idea where friends mean what they say, and love is pure with no dirty tricks to it. It is just clean drama, with comedy in it. Besides I can relate a lot with Sailor Moon in so many aspects...(^_^) that is scary.
Yeah I used to always wanted to have powers and cute outfits like that. I was so little and now I still love it but I don't want to dress up or anything. LOL

Haha when I was younger, I always wanted to be one! I even pretended to be my own made-up Sailor Senshi and ran around house screaming powers ^^
Poor Sailor Pluto, I wonder if in the future if they ever decide to remake the episodes, she'll probably be "killed off". Haha. But then again, the moon isn't a planet either.
G A N G StaRrRrr*

Updated: 07/18/2013 4:35 PM KSTP.com
(AP) TORONTO - The website Gawker says money raised to buy a video purporting to show Toronto Mayor Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine will instead go to four Canadian community health organizations.
John Cook, editor of the U.S.-based website, said in May that he'd seen a video of Ford inhaling from what appeared to be a crack pipe. Cook said he'd been shown the video by a drug dealer who had been trying to sell it for a six-figure sum.
The website raised $192,000 through an online campaign but said it lost contact with the owner. Gawker said on its website Thursday the money will be split between the four organizations.
Ford has said the video does not exist, though he has never said he has never smoked crack.

"Per stirpes" life insurance beneficiaries: You've got it wrong
By Nick Paleveda MBA J.D. LL.M
National Pension Partners
"The life insurance policy shall go to my children per stirpes..."
"Per stirpes" is a legal term that means different things to different courts. In many cases, a life insurance agent will help fill out a beneficiary designation in a pension plan or in an insurance application. "Per stirpes" is a Latin term which translates to "by roots or stocks," and in this context, it means that each branch of the family is to receive an equal share of a decedent's estate. But does it really?
Take this example. John dies and leaves three brothers who all predeceased him. One had no children, the second brother had two children, and the third brother had one child. Generally, you would think the old English rule one would apply, which says the third brother's only child gets 50 percent and the other two children 25 percent each, because generally that is what would have happened if the brothers had lived. But not anymore!
The 2013 Evans case
In the Estate of Evans 827 N.W. 314 (2013), the court decided that the "modern approach" would prevail and they would all share the estate in thirds. This may not be what the grantor intended and therefore, per stirpes must be spelled out in the documents.
Unfortunately, many beneficiary designations in plans still have check-the-box options, and the box can mean different things to different states. In addition, one cannot tell where the person will be domiciled at death, creating a "state roulette" on beneficiaries.
What to do?
What should be done? Forget using words such as "per stirpes" or "per capita." Define what would happen if the client's child predeceased him and his share was to go to his beneficiary or beneficiaries without diminution. More words, less confusion.
Or tell them to see an estate planning attorney concerning the beneficiary designation.

Potlucks with Pizzazz
Warm weather isn't the only reason you need to throw a party this season—and neighborhood block parties, family reunions, and potlucks are all ripe with opportunities for you to showcase your inner chef. If you're bored with the same old buffet line—cold cuts, pasta salad, and puppy chow—here are some unique, healthy ideas to bring to the table.
>> Layered Dips and Salads
Reinvent appetizers with fresh flavors, colors, and textures that will leave room in your belly to sample the other foods. Starting with heavy foods increases the chance that you'll overeat. You may be tempted to fill up on apps and still go back for the main meal. Choose nonfat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for that trusty taco dip, and go meatless if you suspect the main meal will have meat. Layered foods offer multiple tastes and textures, which may trick you into feeling like you've eaten more than you actually have. Make salads with uncommon food pairings to achieve unique flavor combinations—green beans, radishes, hearts of palm, beans, sliced avocado, and hardboiled eggs are great places to start. Mix and match with salad staples such as tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and carrots. Sub spinach or kale for plain ol' lettuce.
>> Main Meal Balance
Calorie-heavy casseroles don't have to be your go-to; instead, opt for dishes that contain a balance of protein, veggies, dairy, and nuts. Added crunch can be achieved by cooking vegetables until they are just crisp (be careful not to overcook—if other ingredients require longer cook time, consider adding the veggies separately so you don't compromise the crunch) or by adding nuts (think almonds or walnuts) as a garnish. For those who crave a few more carbs, offer a sandwich option—set out whole grain bread or pita pockets for hot dishes, salads, or dips.
>> Sweet and Spicy Sides
Generally, more colors mean more nutrients—don't be afraid to toss some strawberries or grapes in your pasta salad, or go noodle-free and make a bean-based salad. Mix sweet flavors (red peppers, beets, pineapple) with spicy flavors (jalapenos, green onions, cayenne pepper) for a dual flavor profile. Instead of a tomato salsa, try a watermelon or mango salsa. Experiment with herbs and spices to enhance and create flavors. A dash of cinnamon, a pinch of paprika, or a bit of ginger could take your dish from good to great.
>> Fruity Desserts
Steer clear of sugary staples without sacrificing good taste. Choose desserts that include fruit—they tend to be lighter (both in taste and calories) and will add a cooling burst of flavor to the end of your meal. Fruit skewers with melon and berries, baked apples, and parfaits are all great options. If you've got a weak spot for chocolate, try apricots or almonds dipped in dark chocolate. You can also add nutritional value to your desserts by using spices such as cinnamon, ginger, and saffron.
Plan the Perfect Potluck
If it's your turn to host the party, follow these tips to ensure that everyone has a fun and festive time.
>> Create options.
Send out healthy guidelines to guests in advance so everyone can plan to bring a nutritional dish. For example, the theme of your potluck could be "heart-healthy" or "anti-inflammatory." Additionally, set individual dish guidelines to ensure variety—so, if two people are slotted to bring appetizers, have one sign-up spot for "dip" and one sign-up spot for "salad." You can create veggie/meat or hot/cold boundaries, too.
>> Design a sensible buffet line.
Because everyone will sign up for their type of food in advance, you can make place cards indicating where each guest should place their item on the buffet table so that foods are arranged in a logical order. Start with salads and appetizers, followed by the main meal, side dishes, bread, and desserts. Don't forget serving utensils—guests probably won't bring their own to accompany their dish.
>> Separate accessories.
Place silverware and napkins on their own table so guests don't have to balance them, in addition to their food plates, all the way through the line. If space permits, also set up a separate beverage station.
Try out these healthier alternatives to some traditional potluck favorites.
If You Make the Main Meal…
This dairy-free delight tastes like comfort food without packing on the pounds. Bake as-is, or add chicken, broccoli, carrots, or peas for a heartier dish.
>3 to 3 ½ cups dried cut pasta (e.g. macaroni, penne)
½ cup raw Brazil nuts
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 medium clove garlic
2 teaspoons arrowroot powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon (rounded) dry mustard
1 cup water
1 ½ cups plain nondairy milk, unsweetened
1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (optional, if omitted add extra milk)
¾ to 1 ¼ cups dry whole-grain breadcrumbs
½ tablespoon olive oil
Couple pinches sea salt
Preheat oven to 375 degrees, then start cooking pasta. While pasta is cooking, blend all sauce ingredients in a blender or in a deep bowl with an immersion blender. When pasta is almost tender, fully drain (don't rinse). Mix noodles with sauce, and immediately pour into a lightly oiled 8 x 12 inch baking dish. Mix breadcrumb toppings in a small bowl, then sprinkle over top of casserole. Cover with foil and bake for 17 to 18 minutes. Then, remove foil cover and bake another 5 to 7 minutes or until topping is golden brown and crisp. Don't over-bake or the sauce will get too thick. Remove from oven and place casserole on a trivet—not on top of oven because residual heat from the oven will continue to thicken the sauce.

Blair tied her career-high with eight kills
Sept. 30, 2011
CINCINNATI - The Xavier volleyball team remains spotless less in conference play after downing the Duquesne Dukes in three straight sets 25-20, 25-17, 25-12. Sophomore Kelsey Dunaway had a career match, notching career bests in three statistical categories.
With the win, the Musketeers move to 11-5 on the season and a perfect 3-0 in conference play. Xavier has yet to drop a set in conference play and has won 12 straight sets. The loss puts Duquesne at 12-5 on the season and 2-1 in the A-10.
"Tonight was a great team win," said head coach Mike Johnson. "Our execution of the game plan was exceptional and I'm proud of the way we fought. Duquesne is a very good team and a force to be reckoned with in the A-10. I expect good things out of them and am thrilled to come away with a victory tonight."
Dunaway led the match and registered a career-high in kills with 12 for a .346 hitting percentage (12-3-26). The Louisville, Ky., native also notched career-bests in digs, with five, and assisted blocks, with four. Red-shirt freshman Alex Blair tied her career-high in kills with eight to go with her two digs and two assisted blocks. Junior Stephanie Vorherr led the match with 20 digs, while also knocking in two service aces. Freshman Aubree Smith came away with a match-best 30 assists as well as three kills, seven digs and three assisted blocks.
Red-shirt sophomore Alex Smith had the best hitting percentage at .500 (7-0-14) while also assisting on two blocks and getting under two digs. Senior Michelle Matia registered a career-high in digs with 10 to go along with her six kills and five assisted blocks.
The second set saw early domination by the Musketeers as they jumped out to a 10-0 lead off of the serve of Stephanie Vorherr. Xavier never looked back in the set winning at 25-17.
The Musketeers outhit the Dukes .231 to .024 while also knocking down nine team blocks to Duquesne's three.
Xavier closes out its five-match homestand Saturday as the Saint Louis Billikens visit Cintas Center. Fans are encouraged to come out and support Xavier volleyball's "Think Pink: Dig for the Cure" event. First serve is set for 4 p.m.

From The Washington Times:
SALT LAKE CITY — Mitt Romney on Tuesday said that President Obama's economic vision embraces the notion that government is an instrument to be used to redistribute people's hard-earned money as the Republican presidential candidate tried to curtail political damage from caught-on-camera comments that indicated he has written off nearly half of the electorate.
Fighting to overcome his own comments made in a May fundraiser that 47 percent of the country doesn't pay income taxes, views itself as victims and won't vote for him, Mr. Romney pointed to a newly surfaced 1998 audio clip of Mr. Obama, posted on YouTube on Tuesday, in which then-state Sen. Barack Obama said he supported wealth redistribution.
Mr. Romney, who did not back away from his own comments about voters, said the two clips capture what this year's election is about.
"I think a society based on a government-centered nation where government plays a larger and larger role, redistributes money, that is the wrong course for America," Mr. Romney said in an interview on Fox News. "I believe the right course for America is one where government steps in to help those in need … but then we let people build their own lives, create enterprises."
Asked about the Romney remarks during a taping in New York on Tuesday of the "Late Show with David Letterman,"Mr. Obama replied, "If you want to be president, you have to work for everyone, not just for some."

By Linda D. KozarynAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22, 1996 "Environmental protection is critical to military readiness and to military quality of life," Defense Secretary William J. Perry recently told the Society of American Military Engineers.
Perry outlined the department's efforts to protect and preserve the environment during a speech here Nov. 20. He said a strong environmental program is an integral part of a strong defense.
"The Defense Department must have an environmental program that protects our troops and families; that manages our training and living areas carefully; that fulfills our obligation to be good citizens to the community in which we live; and that sets a good example to militaries around the world," Perry said.
Protecting military families from health and safety hazards means limiting their exposure to hazardous materials and keeping base communities involved in environmental cleanup decisions, Perry said. In the past, a lack of environmental protection programs on military installations resulted in about 10,000 contaminated sites, he said. Cleanup costs more than $2 billion a year, nearly half of the overall defense environmental budget.
"We don't want to make these mistakes again," Perry said.
From 1986 to 1992, DoD cut the hazardous wastes it produced by half, and plans call for a further 50 percent reduction by 1999. Officials take into account environmental responsibilities when building new weapon systems. Hazardous emissions are reduced while building new systems, and the need for hazardous materials in the systems' operations and maintenance also is reduced.
"For example, 20 years ago there were about 3,000 requirements for ozonedepleting chemicals when we built the C5 cargo plane," Perry said. "As we build the new F22 fighter plane, we will use just one. The Navy has reduced the number of hazardous materials needed to maintain and operate its new attack submarine. Over its life cycle, that submarine will generate 90 percent less hazardous waste than current submarines."
The Defense Department's environmental concerns extend throughout the world, Perry said. During a recent trip to Archangel, Russia, he watched Russians dismantle a nuclear submarine using U.S.made, DoDsupplied equipment. While the subs no longer threaten the world, Perry said, they represent a major environmental hazard to the Arctic region. Helping Russians dismantle the subs and safely dispose of their nuclear fuel benefits everyone, he said.
U.S., Russian and Norwegian officials recently signed an agreement to ensure military activities do not harm the Arctic environment. U.S. and Russian officials are mapping environmental contamination at military bases. Military officers from Eastern and Central Europe attending U.S. military schools receive training in environmental protection.
"They have the same concerns we do about protecting their troop living areas and training facilities," Perry said. "We helped the Polish military organize its own environmental office, and now Hungary, the Czech Republic and several other nations in the region are also expanding their defense environmental operations.
In September, the United States, Australia and Canada hosted the first AsiaPacific Defense Environmental Conference, which drew delegates from 32 nations. U.S. officials are slated to host a conference for 34 democracies from North, Central and South America, Perry said.
"There is a great benefit when militaries of the world do their part to protect and preserve their environments," he said. "There is greater benefit when they do this by working together. Not only are we making the world a cleaner and safer place, we are also bridging old chasms and building new security relationships based on trust, cooperation and warmth. That makes the world a more peaceful place."

An attempt by politicians in Ireland to alter their country's ban on abortion reached Massachusetts on Monday when Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny gave an address to graduates at Boston College, a Catholic university.
Boston Cardinal Sean O'Malley has said he will not attend the graduation ceremony, as is customary, to protest the school's refusal to disinvite Kenny, who is leading an attempt to amend Ireland's ban on abortion.
Kenny is to deliver the commencement address and receive an honorary degree from Boston College, which is run by the Jesuit order of the Catholic Church, the same religious order to which Pope Francis belongs.
The pope supports the Irish bishops who oppose Kenny's attempt to amend the Irish constitution to allow abortion for pregnant women when two doctors agree their lives are at risk.

It was a windy, chilly afternoon Feb. 14, but it did not deter these brave souls from plunging into Lake George to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Wendy Shaw, who is currently undergoing treatments for breast cancer, cheered on her team "Our Hearts Plunge for Cancer." Over $800 was raised and the team thanked the hundreds of people who came out to cheer on the 60 jumpers that day and everyone who donated. From left are: Cindy Joubert, PJ Joubert, Brandon Gwinner, Wendy Shaw, Andrea McDonald, Mickey Fitzgerald, Rich Fazioli, Peggy Walraven and Rich Walraven.

A needle biopsy is performed under local anesthesia. Simple aspirations are performed with a small gauge needle to attempt to draw fluid from lumps that are thought to be cysts. Fine needle biopsy uses a larger needle to make multiple passes through a lump, drawing out tissue and fluid. Withdrawn fluid and tissue is further evaluated to determine if there are cancerous cells present.

Innovation has always been a driving force for the exchanges that form CME Group: CME, CBOT, NYMEX, and COMEX. We have continually embraced change and fostered an entrepreneurial spirit that has enabled both our exchanges – as well as the futures industry – to grow and prosper. We know from firsthand experience that innovation can transform business, influence the direction of civilization and alter its reality for the better.
But creative thinking and great ideas cannot exist in a vacuum – they benefit and gain momentum by being spread far and wide. Recognizing this, in 2003 CME founded the CME Center for Innovation – now called the CME Group Center for Innovation (CFI).
The CFI creates and sponsors thought-provoking original programming that identifies, showcases and fosters examples of significant innovation and creative thinking across multiple industries in both the public and private sectors. Each of the programs explores and communicates the principles behind innovation, and more importantly, showcases their application to a broad and diverse audience.
The CFI's programs help advance the application of innovation by providing a broad, multi-industry analysis of the concept. The CFI is interested in evaluating not only the principles behind innovation, but in taking a strong, hard look at innovation in action.

If this was a final audition for Tyler Matzek, he didn't see it that way.
Then again, maybe he just didn't want to.
As speculation has swirled that Matzek may be called up to the Colorado Rockies before his next start, the Sky Sox hurler struggled Sunday in a 9-8 loss to New Orleans.

It's no secret that Big Data is in the process of revolutionizing how we view the world or that it has already transformed a number of industries in the past handful of years. One of the most fascinating areas of development is the health sector, which uses the technology to better diagnose and locate potential risks within patients through analyzing their medical history and symptoms to prevent a problem before it manifests itself. According to recent studies, research is now more critical than ever in nailing down a medical complication.
Insurers benefit from locating health risks before they occur
A recent piece in Information Week by Alison Diana explained how Big Data research has helped medical professionals identify a very specific condition using past records and symptoms as their guide.
"While organizations have used a lot of Big Data projects to discern trends, a study conducted by Aetna and GNS Healthcare analyzed data from almost 37,000 members of an Aetna employer customer who opted in for screening of metabolic syndrome – which can lead to chronic heart disease, stroke, and diabetes," Diana expanded. "GNS analyzed information such as medical claims records, demographics, pharmacy claims, lab tests, and biometric screening results from a two-year period."
Achieving this impressive result required a mass amount of information from cloud computing servers to narrow results down to a specific patient, something that wouldn't have been possible to do before the emergence of Big Data technology. Because the risk for metabolic syndrome can now be identified far more quickly than in the past, health insurance providers are taking advantage of Big Data to restructure their systems to save money and reduce complications on behalf of their customers. Research indicated that the condition is 90 percent less likely to affect people if patients have secured primary health care providers and attend regular checkups – by extension, it behooves major providers to tailor their services to whichever processes keep expenses low. Diana spoke with Adam Scott, managing director of Aetna Innovation Labs, about how cloud computing will change the way health insurance is dispersed.
"If we can use information that we have on hand to understand more about disease and risk and provide that information to both our membership and those providers that care for those members, we can drive toward better value, delivered toward better outcomes," Scott said.
Understanding the moves toward Big Data
Like many things in the medical field, it's often difficult for the lay person to understand exactly why Big Data is going to change the way we live and interact with one another. Ironically, Forbes contributor and Senior Vice President of Information and Analytics at IBM, Bob Picciano, recently wrote that the key to understanding the technology is to use it. He referred to the phenomenon as a type of new natural resource that is ubiquitous, but harnessed effectively by few.
"Because even as information access is becoming commonplace," Picciano explained, "the ability to analyze data and add expertise to it is turning into a competitive advantage. Like any natural resource, some data can be a commodity."
Health insurance providers appear to be working toward this level of understanding to identify costly medical threats to their customers before these expenditures become a problem. In this industry, the healthier consumers remain, the larger the "competitive advantage" is for the company funding the care. It's a truism about the contemporary health insurance industry: cutting down costs can be just as important as a patient's health – luckily, Big Data can potentially improve both using analytic research processes.

Although no official cause has been determined, a preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board indicates that ice had formed on the wings of the plane that crashed one mile from the Lebanon-Springfield Airport Feb. 23.
Dialing 911 is not child's play, but recently, that's exactly what local dispatchers have experienced.
Two local dispatchers said they and their co-workers have experienced an increasing number of calls that are not actually reporting an emergency.
"We are getting a lot of 911 calls from people who have given their old phones to kids to play with, and they are dialing 911," said dispatcher Francisco Vazquez.
When flood waters rise in Washington County, so does the cost to prevent, fix or clean-up the mess. That's why the county is making a wish list of hazard mitigation projects that need to be addressed. When the Washington County Fiscal Court met last Friday, Pamela Bowling, a community development specialist for the Lincoln Trail Area Development District, asked the court to come up with a prioritized list of problem areas.
Listen up Washington County, there's a new deputy sheriff in town, and her name is Sue Mudd. The name should sound familiar because Mudd previously served on the Springfield Police Department. Washington County Sheriff Tommy Bartley told the Washington County Fiscal Court of the new hire at the court's meeting Monday.
This marks the 80th year that St. Dominic School has been open in Springfield, and the school has never had a gymnasium. Until now.
The school's new gymnasium and community center officially opened Thursday night with a girls' volleyball game between St. Dominic and Washington County Middle School. St. Dominic Principal Pam Breunig and Father Culpepper "Father Pepper" Elliott said they couldn't be more proud of the new facility.
The new St. Dominic gymnasium and community center will host its first official event tonight as the St. Dominic volleyball teams welcome the Washington County Middle School Lady Generals to their new facility. WCMS is also in the midst of its first-ever volleyball season. The first game will be played at 6 p.m. between the sixth and seventh-grade teams, with the eighth-grade game to follow around 7 p.m.
See a complete story about the new facility in next week's Springfield Sun!
One adult and three juveniles have been arrested in connection with the theft and destruction of a tractor, as well as the theft of a pick-up truck and trailer early Monday morning.
Renee D. Maupin, 19, of Bishop Lane in Springfield, was arrested on Monday afternoon for her alleged role in the theft of a New Holland TS-110-A tractor with a loader on the front. The tractor, belonging to Bob Waits of Springfield, was valued at $70,784 according to a report filed by the Springfield Police Department. It had been parked at Murphy's Chevron in Springfield prior to being stolen.
A fatal airplane crash at the Lebanon-Springfield Airport last week claimed the life of the pilot.
Kent Douglas Shilling, 40, of Springfield, was killed when the Piper PA-28 Cherokee airplane he was piloting went down about one mile from the airport.
Shilling, a native of Baton Rouge, La., was the fixed-base operator at the local airport, and was returning from a flight to Alabama, according to airport manager Jim Tucker.
Although the theme of the evening was teamwork, several local individuals were recognized for their leadership during the Springfield-Washington County Chamber of Commerce's annual membership and awards banquet last Thursday. In fact, how leadership plays a role in developing teamwork was intertwined throughout the event.
From his opening remarks, chamber president Ralph Blandford thanked the 2010 board of directors.
"These are the people who will be working hard this year on our behalf," he said.
The plane crash that claimed the life of Kent Shiling was discovered Tuesday evening, and one of the people who discovered the crash was a long-time friend of the victim.
Shilling was expected to return to the Lebanon-Springfield Airport late Monday night, and he had a meeting scheduled with Chris "Doc" Bailey, a fellow aviator and president of the Central Missouri University Aviation Alumni Association. Bailey said he has known Shilling for 10 years.

Q: Mr. Secretary, last night CNN reported on the show News Stand that U.S. Special Forces during Vietnam when doing a secret operation used sarin nerve gas in certain situations. During operations intended to hunt down American defectors and kill them. Can you tell us what you know about this and whether anything has been done to look into it?
A: I don't know of any information that we currently have that would validate those charges. My understanding is that would, of course, have violated our policy at the time, that President Nixon declared an end to use of any kind of biological [and no first use of lethal chemical] weapons. And I'm not aware of any information that would substantiate that, but I think they are serious charges and I think we've seen Adm. Moorer who was quoted also, as saying there's some substance to these allegations, and that I am going to ask the Secretary of the Air Force and also the Army and the service chiefs to look back and produce information, if they have it, to examine this with the kind of seriousness that it warrants.
Q: Do you believe that it warrants an investigation by the IG or calling in Adm. Moorer or Gen. Singlaub and so on to get their accounts?
A: I think we need to have an inquiry on call from the services initially to produce information so that we can start to look at this.
Q: But, as of now, you are not aware of any documentation to support this?
A: I'm not aware of any, but again, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. But I'm not aware that there's any such information. Again, that would be contrary to our policy. This happened 28 years ago and we'll go back and try to find as much information as we can.
Q: And you have not heard anything about any of these operations in the past.

'Tis the season to tip the people who provide us with great service all year long. In a survey conducted earlier this year, the majority of respondents (66%) say they tip their housekeeper or cleaning person during the holidays. The next most likely service person to get tipped this year is a child-care provider such as a nanny, aupair, or daytime sitter (64%) followed by school teachers at 60%. Hairdressers or stylists are 4th on the list of those who are most likely to see a tip this year (48%). At 5th is the newspaper carrier (39%), followed closely by manicurists or pedicurists (38%), mail carrier (21%), fitness trainer or instructor (19%) and sanitation or recycling collector (11%).
How much are people tipping each of these folks? The housekeeper comes in at number one again averaging holiday tips of $35, followed by child-care providers who average $30 and fitness trainer at $25. Here is the complete list of the median average for service provider holiday tips:
1. Housekeeper $35
2. Child-care provider $30
3. Fitness trainer $20
tie 4. Hairdresser, Mail carrier, Sanitation collector, and Schoolteacher $20
tie 8. Manicurist/pedicurist, and Newspaper carrier $15

Howdy Hackers, we're taking a quick break from hackwars development to bring you a message from the guy, or rather, the legend who started it all!
Hey, I'm Ben (aka johnny_heart) one of the original developers of HackWars.
One of the foremost goals of HackWars was to help people learn how to program. Over the years, we've touched the lives of thousands of players, and in my opinion met this goal.
Myself and another HackWars developer (Christian, aka mecha_cephalon) recently competed in Node Knockout. In this contest, we put forward a vision that we both have:
tut, a free and open platform for teachers and learners to interact and collaborate: creating learning modules; quiz questions; and most importantly reinventing how people learn.
The tut platform itself is open-source https://github.com/bcoe/tut.
But the platform isn't the end of the innovation that tut provides. Christian has (finally) completed his PhD in Neuroscience, and is applying his knowledge of how human memory works to the tut learning system. By applying the core principles of spaced learning and distributed testing, we think we've come up with a learning system that will get information into your brain, and make it stick (read more about it on the science section of the site).
Please help us make our dreams of an open, and effective educational platform come true:
· Help us make some noise, vote for our project, tweet about it, and tell your friends.
· Contribute some programming tutorials and challenges.
You can find our entry here:
Click on the link on the bottom of the page to vote for us in Node Knockout.
Cheers, and happy hacking,
-- Ben.
We think this is an awesome project and will definitely explore using it as a medium for HackWars tutorials. Also, stay tuned for HackWars news coming soon™!
agreed xD
If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever.
There actually is a tut tutorial on how to make a tut tutorial! See https://github.com/cbattista/how_to_make_a_tutorial
(Im in ur compilerz lolin' ur codez !)
It isn't linux only, but you will need to install git and node.js (which should include npm) before using it. Both of these exist for windows, but the directions may not apply in some cases (such as the one command with sudo)
(Im in ur compilerz lolin' ur codez !)
Hey guys, Johnny Heart here, an exciting announcement related to this post. I've taken a job as one of the first developers at npm:
I plan to continue working on tools for sharing, and teaching about code. As always, anyone in the HackWars community should feel free to reach out to me.

League titles on the line
Conference championships will be decided across Union County tonight on the final day of the regular season.
Six doubleheaders are on the schedule, including Monroe at Forest Hills, Piedmont at Cuthbertson, Union Academy at Central Academy, Weddington at Marvin Ridge, Sun Valley at Porter Ridge and Anson County at Parkwood.
Here's a breakdown of what's on the line in tonight's games:
RRC boys
Piedmont travels to Cuthbertson to determine first place in the Rocky River Conference.
The Cavaliers (21-2, 12-1 RRC) currently lead the Panthers (19-3, 11-2) by a game in the league standings, so a win by CHS would clinch a second straight conference title.
If Piedmont upends the Cavs, the Panthers would be co-champions and grab the top seed for next week's RRC tournament based on tiebreakers.
Cuthbertson won the first meeting 74-61 on Jan. 22. The Cavs' only loss in the league was a 52-50 decision to Monroe on Feb. 1.
The matchup between archrivals Monroe and Forest Hills has no implications in the RRC standings.
The Redhawks (17-4, 10-3 RRC) have already wrapped up the No. 3 seed for the conference tournament while Forest Hills (13-9, 8-5 RRC) is locked in the No. 4 spot in the conference.
RRC girls
Monroe (20-1, 13-0 RRC) has already clinched the league title outright, but Forest Hills has plenty to play for in tonight's home matchup with the Redhawks.
The Yellow Jackets (16-6, 10-3 RRC) are currently tied for second place with Cuthbertson (14-9, 10-3 RRC) in the standings. If Forest Hills knocks off Monroe tonight, the Jackets would grab the No. 2 seed for the league tournament due to tiebreakers.
"This game's important for a lot of reasons," said Forest Hills coach Eddie Rivers. "It's Senior Night, plus we're playing Monroe and that's always a rivalry in itself. Then the deal with Cuthbertson is really big, too. We've got our work cut out for us against a Monroe team that doesn't like to lose."
A Cuthbertson win over Piedmont and a Forest Hills loss would give the Cavaliers the No. 2 seed for the RRC tournament and the top seed for the 2A state playoffs.
SCC boys
Marvin Ridge and Sun Valley enter its regular season finales tied atop the SCC standings.
If both teams win tonight they will be co-champs, but Marvin Ridge (13-8, 7-2 SCC) would be the top seed for the conference tournament due to tiebreakers.
The Spartans (14-8, 7-2 SCC) won the regular season title outright with a 10-0 SCC record last season.
Weddington is locked into the No. 3 spot, followed by Anson County, Porter Ridge and Weddington.
SCC girls
Porter Ridge, which has won 13 straight, has already clinched the conference title outright.
Weddington is locked into the No. 2 spot while Parkwood is third in the standings heading into tonight's home matchup with Anson County.
The Bearcats are in fourth place a game behind the Rebels, but an Anson win would force a tie and a coin flip to determine the No. 3 seed for the SCC tournament.
"We've had a couple tough games lately, but if we win (tonight) we can achieve one of the goals we set, which is to be one of the top two 3A seeds in the conference," said Parkwood coach Don Mather. "It would also give us the potential to have a home playoff game and momentum heading into the conference tournament, so it's a big deal."

The Bachelor
Bachelor 2013 Power Rankings: Lindsay Tops Sean's Final Four
Sean Lowe is in between a rock and a hard place (read: an actual rock and his abs). This dude has narrowed his wife pool down to four lucky ladies, and each of them is more adorable than the next. But the real question? Who has more viable eggs in their ovaries?
Please join us as we rank the most powerful players from The Bachelor Season 17, Episode 7, based on their personality, sex appeal, degrees of insanity, and chance of winning this thing!
Name: Lindsay Yenter
Ranking: 1
Pros: Lindsay barely spent any time with Sean this week, but she did managed to nab the rose thanks to a steamy make out session, wherein her and Sean's tongues joined forces like two beautiful dolphins doing an erotic love dance. Also, girlfriend stayed out of the Tierra LiCausi vs. AshLee Frazier eyebrow drama and keep her head in the game!
Cons: Lindsay has come pretty far in the competition, but she has yet to break down into a fit of hysterical drunken weeping. Yes, she showed up in a wedding dress and got wasted, but has she murdered anyone? No. Has she witnessed anyone get murdered? No. Is she an orphan who spent her formative years camping in a teepee? Not even close. Hands up if you think Lindsay should quickly marry a sea lion so she has something to tell Sean?
Name: Catherine Giudici
Ranking: 2
Pros: Catherine is a beautiful sea goddess and we want to look exactly like her only with red hair like Ariel the Mermaid. Also, we love that she opened up to Sean about her father's troubled past. Though we don't love the fact that Sean barely reacted. Probably too busy counting his freckles (there are so many and they're all so adorable!) and thinking about his one true love — a dumbbell named Chris Harrison.
Cons: We're slightly confused as to why Catherine broke down into a fit of tears when Sean gave her a rose. Is it possible that Tierra's multiple personality drifted into her brain and took over? FEAR.
Name: Desiree Hartsock
Ranking: 3
Pros: Desiree got all kinds of flirty with Sean during the group date, but did he reward her with a rose? Nope. He was just like "oh, sorry — my makeout session with Lindsay trumps your tragic feels." Also, this pro is feeling more like a con. Which brings us to...
Cons: We're worried that Sean is putting Desiree in the friend zone. It's this mysterious zone slightly above his abs and slightly below his pecs where potential wives retire. Sigh, if only Sean and Des had found a palm tree to scamper up. Their mutual fetish for timber is the only thing that links them.
Name: AshLee Frazier
Ranking: 4
Pros: AshLee blurted out "I LOVE SEAN" to no one in particular.
Cons: See pros.

If only this is what Todd James and Steve Powers were going to do at Art In the StreetsJuxtapoz // Monday, March 21, 2011
We say "if only" because if Todd "REAS" James and Steve "ESPO" Powers were going to take their slot at MOCA's "Art In the Streets" and do a musical version of the seminal cult graffiti film, "Style Wars," like they were Marina Abramovic performing for museum goers everyday, all day, that would be something to see. More after the jump . . .
ESPO at TED Talk x PhillyJuxtapoz // Saturday, February 19, 2011
