text: U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa's office contacted The Times to take issue with Wednesday's editorial regarding Issa's proposed changes to the U.S. Postal Service. Communications adviser Ali Ahmad noted that Issa's proposal would not eliminate all home delivery of mail, but rather "to-the-door" delivery. Ahmad said curbside delivery would still be allowed, where available. Ahmad further said Issa is committed to protecting rural postal customers, and cites as an example another section of the bill, which would limit the number of post offices that can be closed each year.

Assault weapons ban pushedDecember 28,2012BURLINGTON A city councilor in Vermonts largest city is responding to the recent school massacre in Connecticut by proposing a municipal ban on assault weapons with high-capacity ammunition clips.
Burlington City Councilor Norman Blais, a Democrat, is getting a mixed reaction from his fellow Council members. Two of them are urging that the city focus on better mental health counseling.
Blais is targeting the types of guns that Connecticut authorities say Adam Lanza used to kill 20 children and six staff members at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., on Dec.14. Lanza also killed his mother and himself.
Vermont law bars municipalities from adopting the sort of ordinance Blais is seeking, so the change would require action both in the city and the state Legislature.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Needy families with disabled adults will not see a reduction in the financial...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Batkid has been fighting crime on the mean streets of San Francisco.
Television news footage showed 5-year-old Miles Scott, aka Batkid, leaving the city's Union Square in one of two Batmobiles on Friday morning. The vehicles - two black Lamborghinis with Batman decals - were surrounded by media and onlookers.
The drive through city streets is part of a day of events organized by the Make-A-Wish Foundation to fulfill Miles' wish to be Batkid. Miles was diagnosed with leukemia and is in remission.
The Lamborghinis were escorted by police, who also blocked off roads. Batkid's first caper was rescuing a damsel in distress from cable car tracks.

Treats For The Troops In Denver, Colo.
By editor
Originally published on Tue August 14, 2012 12:59 pm
Over the past several years, Lainey Hamrick and the volunteers at Colorado Supporting Our Troops have sent hundreds of care packages to members of the military in Afghanistan, Iraq and bases all over the world. In December, the group shipped 160 boxes of goodies overseas.
The boxes contain everything from lip balm to licorice, from sunflower seeds to unscented skincare products. She does this with her own money and with help from other caring citizens in Colorado. She is so dedicated to this cause and does it without any hesitation.

With immigration reform a political priority, local immigration attorneys say they've been flooded with calls.
Minneapolis-based immigration lawyer, Herbert Igbanugo of Igbanugo International Law Firm, says those who would be most affected are those currently protected from deportation under the Dream Act.
So-called "dreamers" would go to the "front of the line," Igbanugo explains.
In other words, those given high priority would include young people who were brought to the U.S. as children, speak good English, were educated in American schools and who have no criminal record.
Igbanugo explains, "They're not farm workers. Most of them have high school educations, are like American citizens, speak like American citizens, they're whole behavior.. they're whole outlook on life is as if they were born in this country."

The propagation of light in dispersive media is a subject of fundamental as well as practical importance. In recent years attention has focused in particular on media in which the refractive index can vary with frequency in such a way that the group velocities of optical pulses can be much greater or much smaller than the speed of light in vacuum, or in which the refractive index can be negative. This book treats these topics at an introductory to intermediate level, focusing on the basic theory but also describing the significant experimental progress made during the past decade. Consider

In 1910, the surgeons Moreau and LePrince wrote about their successful operation on an eight-year-old boy who had been blind since birth because of cataracts. When the boy's eyes were healed they removed the bandages and, waving a hand in front of the child's physically perfect eyes, asked him what he saw. "I don't know," was his only reply. What he saw was only a varying brightness in front of him. However, when allowed to touch the hand as it began to move, he cried out in a voice of triumph, "It's moving!"

Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose due to insulin deficiency or resistance. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease leading to irreversible loss of neurons, intellectual abilities, memory and reasoning. The worldwide prevalence of diabetes and AD in elderly population is a major public health concern. Interestingly, both health issues are unraveling the puzzling links. The clinico-pathological relationship between diabetes and AD has been reported at genomic and proteomic levels. The association of virus infection in type 2 diabetes mellitus and AD has been reported in few recent studies, some have shown direct evidence of virus infection in diabetes and AD while other have shown that diabetes increases the risk of developing AD. This review aims to summarize the association of few common viruses like Hepatitis C Virus and Herpes Simplex Virus-1 which affects both these two age-related devastating diseases. We also discuss the pathological links of Influenza virus, Cytomegalovirus, West Nile virus, Enterovirus, Herpes Simplex Virus-2, Hepatitis viruses in diabetes and Influenza virus, Picornavirus and Borna disease virus in AD. Establishing such relationships and defining their common pathogenesis and patho-physiological mechanisms may lead to new concepts and paths for developing novel preventive strategies and pharmacological treatment options for diabetes and AD. This study may aid in future for the identification of a single or a panel of likely blood-based viral biomarkers for early diagnosis of diabetes and AD with high sensitivity and specificity.

Posts Tagged 'how to get rid of smell in sneakers'
a friend of mine just moved and her cat is freaking out and peeing everywhere what brand should she use?
Mythbusters helped me discover the best urine odor remover :
baking soda and peroxide!
It has worked on cat urine smell that was impenetrable to removal by every commercial preparation on Petco's shelves AND to Oxy Clean.
I saw the episode where they tried it on skunk odor ( and it was effective ) and thought, if it works on that, how would it work on old cat funk? It worked WONDERS! I didn't have to throw out a pet carrier I was THISCLOSE to throwing out! We were at our wits end!
MythBusters, the hydrogen peroxide mix was found to be the most effective smell removal agent.[6]
From Popular Science Aug. 1995, chemist Paul Krebaum provided the recipe for the bathing concoction. One quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide, one quarter cup of baking soda, and one teaspoon of liquid soap. then rinse with tap water. There is no way to store this potion. If you put the ingredients in a bottle, the whole thing would explode.
If the cat is still urinating outside the litterbox after a couple of days she really needs to take it to a vet as the stress of the move may have predisposed it to a urinary tract infection.
Peeing outside the litterbox is the hallmark symptom of cystitis, and could indicate either minor or major kidney problems, too.
It won't allow me to post the wikipedia or mythbusters links below
EDIT: I had ALREADY STATED that every odor removal product available at PETCO had NOT worked when I tried the method I recommend, and that INCLUDED Simple Solution Cat Spray & Urine Stain & Odor Remover that was posted AFTER my entry. I also purchased every odor removal product for sale at Wal Mart. I had a cabinet full of ineffective products before I discovered the best solution. I had well over $100 on various products. I had a male cat with kidney failure who urinated in inappropriate places before he died. The only thing that worked with 100% efficacy was the baking soda/peroxide mixture. There may be fabrics that it could bleach so be careful.
I found other uses for those pet odor removal products, however. They were effective for trash can odors and they were also useful for my husbands muddy work boots..and son's sweaty sneakers. They were ineffectual for cat urine smell. I have a sensitive nose for odors.
BEFORE you waste your money purchasing products that don't work..try the more inexpensive method and I KNOW you will be happy with it!

How You Can Help
To support clinical studies in leukemia fighting T cells contact Tricia Bruning at 215-898-0578 (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Katie Dewees Detzel at 215-746-1927 (email@example.com).
(August 10, 2011, PHILADELPHIA) – In a cancer treatment breakthrough 20 years in the making, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania's Abramson Cancer Center and Perelman School of Medicine have shown sustained remissions of up to a year among a small group of advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients treated with genetically engineered versions of their own T cells. The protocol, which involves removing patients' cells and modifying them in Penn's vaccine production facility, then infusing the new cells back into the patient's body following chemotherapy, provides a tumor-attack roadmap for the treatment of other cancers including those of the lung and ovaries and myeloma and melanoma. The findings, published simultaneously today in the New England Journal of Medicine and Science Translational Medicine, are the first demonstration of the use of gene transfer therapy to create "serial killer" T cells aimed at cancerous tumors.
"Within three weeks, the tumors had been blown away, in a way that was much more violent than we ever expected," said senior author Carl June, MD, director of Translational Research and a professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine in the Abramson Cancer Center, who led the work. "It worked much better than we thought it would."
This information is designed for educational purposes and is not a substitute for medical advice or professional services. If you have or suspect you have a health problem, you should consult your health care provider.
The results of the pilot trial of three patients are a stark contrast to existing therapies for CLL. The patients involved in the new study had few other treatment options. The only potential curative therapy would have involved a bone marrow transplant, a procedure which requires a lengthy hospitalization and carries at least a 20 percent mortality risk – and even then offers only about a 50 percent chance of a cure, at best.
"Most of what I do is treat patients with no other options, with a very, very risky therapy with the intent to cure them," says co-principal investigator David Porter, MD, professor of Medicine and director of Blood and Marrow Transplantation. "This approach has the potential to do the same thing, but in a safer manner."
June thinks there were several "secret ingredients" that made the difference between the lackluster results that have been seen in previous trials with modified T cells and the remarkable responses seen in the current trial. The details of the new cancer immunotherapy are detailed in Science Translational Medicine.
After removing the patients' cells, the team reprogrammed them to attack tumor cells by genetically modifying them using a lentivirus vector. The vector encodes an antibody-like protein, called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), which is expressed on the surface of the T cells and designed to bind to a protein called CD19.
Once the T cells start expressing the CAR, they focus all of their killing activity on cells that express CD19, which includes CLL tumor cells and normal B cells. All of the other cells in the patient that do not express CD19 are ignored by the modified T cells, which limits side effects typically experienced during standard therapies.
The team engineered a signaling molecule into the part of the CAR that resides inside the cell. When it binds to CD19, initiating the cancer-cell death, it also tells the cell to produce cytokines that trigger other T cells to multiply – building a bigger and bigger army until all the target cells in the tumor are destroyed.
"We saw at least a 1000-fold increase in the number of modified T cells in each of the patients. Drugs don't do that," June says. "In addition to an extensive capacity for self-replication, the infused T cells are serial killers. On average, each infused T cell led to the killing of thousands of tumor cells - and overall, destroyed at least two pounds of tumor in each patient."
The importance of the T cell self-replication is illustrated in the New England Journal of Medicine paper, which describes the response of one patient, a 64-year old man. Prior to his T cell treatment, his blood and marrow were replete with tumor cells. For the first two weeks after treatment, nothing seemed to change. Then on day 14, the patient began experiencing chills, nausea, and increasing fever, among other symptoms. Tests during that time showed an enormous increase in the number of T cells in his blood that led to a tumor lysis syndrome, which occurs when a large number of cancer cells die all at once.
By day 28, the patient had recovered from the tumor lysis syndrome – and his blood and marrow showed no evidence of leukemia.
"This massive killing of tumor is a direct proof of principle of the concept," Porter says.
The Penn team pioneered the use of the HIV-derived vector in a clinical trial in 2003 in which they treated HIV patients with an antisense version of the virus. That trial demonstrated the safety of the lentiviral vector used in the present work.
The cell culture methods used in this trial reawaken T cells that have been suppressed by the leukemia and stimulate the generation of so-called "memory" T cells, which the team hopes will provide ongoing protection against recurrence. Although long-term viability of the treatment is unknown, the doctors have found evidence that months after infusion, the new cells had multiplied and were capable of continuing their seek-and-destroy mission against cancerous cells throughout the patients' bodies.
Moving forward, the team plans to test the same CD19 CAR construct in patients with other types of CD19-positive tumors, including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and acute lymphocytic leukemia. They also plan to study the approach in pediatric leukemia patients who have failed standard therapy. Additionally, the team has engineered a CAR vector that binds to mesothelin, a protein expressed on the surface of mesothelioma cancer cells, as well as on ovarian and pancreatic cancer cells.
In addition to June and Porter, co-authors on the NEJM paper include Bruce Levine, Michael Kalos, and Adam Bagg, all from Penn Medicine. Michael Kalos and Bruce Levine are co-first authors on the Science Translational Medicine paper. Other co-authors include June, Porter, Sharyn Katz and Adam Bagg from Penn and Stephan Grupp the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
The work was supported by the Alliance for Cancer Gene Therapy, a foundation started by Penn graduates, Barbara and Edward Netter, to promote gene therapy research to treat cancer, and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

PETERSBURG, Va. (WTVR) – Police are investigating after someone went around a neighborhood and punctured the tires of more than 40 vehicles, according to Petersburg Police. The vandalism happened in the Kenilworth area in western Petersburg, police said.
At least 46 vehicles were damaged according to police with most vehicles having one or two damaged tires.
The vandalism was first reported to police about 6 a.m. Monday.
According to Police, the serial slashing spree happened between 11 p.m. Sunday Night and 1 a.m. Monday morning.
"We are looking at this as all related from the same incident with many victims," Esther Hyatt, a spokesman with the Police Department, said.
Police appear to have a particular interest in talking over the case with younger members of the community – asking students to come forward with information.
"We want people to understand just because you are in school does not mean you can't get a crime solvers reward," Hyatt emphasized.
Anyone with information is asked to call Petersburg-Dinwiddie Crime Solvers at 804-861-1212.

Freshman Wenny Chang has been named Southland Conference Women's Golfer of the Month announced league officials Wednesday evening. Chang becomes the second Lamar women's golfer to receive the honor this season (Taylor Stockton).
Despite her underclassman status, Chang guided the Lady Cardinal golf team to consecutive top-three finishes in the month of October, including a runner-up finish at the Harold Funston Invitational in Huntsville, Texas. A native of Taiwan, Chang took the individual title at the Harold Funston Invitational when she fired a two-over par 215.
Chang, who fired three even-par rounds during the two tournaments, also recorded an eighth-place finish at the Lady Blue Raider Invitational in Murfreesboro, Tenn. Lamar finished third overall at that tournament.
Chang finished the month recording a 73.2 stroke average in six rounds of action.
The Lady Blue Raider Invitational was the team's final tournament of the fall season. Lamar returns to action Monday, Feb. 10, when they travel to Broussard, La., to compete in the Le Triomphe Collegiate Invitational.

Bolt 260 Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Bolt 260 is an energy supplement that claims to be different from other energy products. This one contains caffeine, as most energy boosters do, but it also contains an ingredient that is supposed to work on a cellular level to boost energy. This is a huge claim, but not a new one. There are plenty of supplements out there that contain the same ingredient, so what makes Bolt 260 stand out from the other competitors? Nothing – there is nothing about the supplement, reviews, testimonials or ingredient list that make this product better than other caffeinated energy boosters.
Bolt 260 is a proprietary blend of ingredients, which IS highly uncommon. Most companies gladly tell the consumer how much caffeine is in each dose – they are looking for high levels of caffeine so why not tell them. This product contains caffeine as the first ingredient, but it does not tell the dieter how much caffeine is included.
List of Ingredients
- Caffeine
- Microcrystalline Cellulose
- Magnesium Stearate
- Silicon Dioxide
Product Features
The difference between most caffeine energy supplements and Bolt 260 is the addition of NADH. While this is not the only supplement to add that ingredient, it is not a common ingredient. NADH is nothing more than an enzyme. It helps prevent cells from breaking down due to oxidant activity in the body. There is a healthy reason to supplement NADH, but that reason has nothing to do with prolonged energy.
According to the Bolt 260 label, one dose of Bolt 260 will last up to eight hours. That is not completely true either. Caffeine takes 12 hours to pass out of the body – all caffeine. If you drink coffee, take a caffeine pill or choose Bolt 260, you will feel the effects of that caffeine for 12 hours though the energy boost you feel in the beginning will fade dramatically after only a few hours.
- Bolt 260 contains caffeine.
- The ingredient label is available online.
- We found an official website for the product and the company behind the product.
- The caffeine is in a proprietary blend.
- The NADH will not increase energy.
- There are no pictures of any of the reviewers.
- The supplement is extremely expensive for a caffeinated product like this.
If you want to take caffeine for energy you are going to look for a product that tells you how much caffeine is included per serving. Bolt 260 does not tell the dieter how much caffeine they are taking with each dose and that is a shame, because there are a lot of caffeine junkies out there. We believe there to be in excess of 200 mg of caffeine per dose – too much for the average dieter.

★★★★ 2006 ford freestyle passenger compartment fuse panel and junction box
♔♔♔ The 2006 Ford Freestyle Passenger Compartment Fuse Panel and Junction Box is located under the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. If electrical components in the vehicle are not working, a fuse may have blown. Blown fuses are identified by a broken wire within the fuse. Check the appropriate fuses before replacing any electrical components. Note: always replace a fuse with one that has the specified amperage rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause severe wire damage and could start a fire. Below schematic diagram shows detail location of fuses in the Passenger Compartment Fuse Panel; the table contains fuse/ relay location, fuse ampere rating and fuse description/ function.

Ming Dynasty (1368 A.D. - 1644 A.D.)
Zhu Yuanzhang, a peasant uprising leader, founded the Ming Dynasty in 1368. He drove the Mongol Emperor away from the capital (now Beijing) and restored Han nationality rule in China. The Ming Dynasty lasted 227 years, with 16 emperors. It's first capital was at Nanjing, and in 1421, the capital moved to Beijing. In 1644, the peasant armies under Li Zicheng overthrew the Ming Dynasty.
There was a great amount of literary achievement during the Ming period. The travel literature author Xu Xiake's Travel Diaries is of high scientific and literary value. The classic fictional novel The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Pilgrim to the West and The Golden Lotus (Jin Ping Mei) were very well noticed and received. One of the most famous plays in Chinese history, the Peony Pavilion, was written by the Ming playwright, Tang Xianzu, and is still showing today.

Photographer Suzi Pratt took some photos at last night's Rammstein concert and they are truly some of the oddest, possibly disturbing, concert images you'll ever see. The German industrial rockers sure do know how to put on a show. The band's stage show involves butcher knife microphones, giant flamethrowers and as much fake blood as a Gwar concert.

Forbes Dividend Investor subscribers received this hotline on March 20:
High yields are better than low yields, but sometimes in dividend investing it's not an immediately juicy yield that you seek but a stock with a history of rising dividend payments and the financial capacity to keep on growing them.
Combine those qualities with cheap valuations and decent sales growth and you've probably got yourself a winner. With that in mind, check out shares of Coach Coach (COH), offering a steadily growing dividend and big discounts to historical price multiples of earnings, sales and book value.
New York-based Coach is a luxury brand best known for its leather goods, including handbags, suitcases, briefcases, shoes, wallets and other accessories. It operates more than 500 Coach stores in the U.S. and Canada, and over 300 locations in Japan, China, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia and South Korea. In January the stock dropped from $60 to $50 per share after Coach reported a disappointing holiday quarter in which it was hurt by rampant discounting and increased competition from brands like Michael Kors. After touching down below $47, the stock has stabilized in the past month.
Despite the tough quarter, Coach is still very much a growth stock. Sales for the current year, which ends June 30, are expected to tick higher by 7.2% to $5.1 billion. Earnings are forecast to climb almost 5% to $3.70. Earnings are nearly triple the $1.20 per share in annual dividends that Coach is on a pace to pay, giving the company plenty of room to jack up the payout. That's exactly what Coach has done, initiating a $0.075 quarterly dividend in June 2009 and raising it each year to its current $0.30 quarterly pace.
On valuation is where Coach really shines. Over the past five years, Coach has traded at an average of 16.6 times earnings, a multiple that would fetch a $61 stock price based on estimated 2013 EPS. Similarly, it also trades at a 19% discount to its five-year average price-sales ratio, and a 21% discount to its historical book value multiple.
John Dobosz is editor of Forbes Dividend Investor newsletter. Total return since July 11 for 156 picks is 15.4% vs. 10.2% for the S&P 500. Average yield is 5.7%. Click here for a free-trial membership.

Former South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford is asking that cameras be prohibited from the courtroom when a judge hears her allegation that former husband Mark Sanford trespassed into her home the night of the Super Bowl.
Sanford's motion, filed Friday in Charleston County Family Court, does not seek to ban press coverage or the media from attending the hearing. It just seeks to prohibit it being broadcast, filmed or recorded.
The filing asks Judge Jocelyn Cate to prohibit "any broadcasting, televising, recording, taking photographs, or allowing any similar activity in the courtroom during the hearing."
The Sanfords are scheduled to go to court Thursday, two days after the special 1st Congressional District election. Republican Mark Sanford is trying to win the congressional seat he held from 1994-2000. He faces Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch.
Last month, after Sanford won the GOP nomination, Jenny Sanford filed a trespassing complaint against her former husband, saying he had a history of violating their divorce terms by entering her residence without permission.
In the Super Bowl incident, Sanford said he entered her Sullivan's Island home Feb. 3 to watch the second half of the game with their youngest son. Jenny Sanford was not home at the time.
If found guilty of violating the divorce stipulation, among the penalties are imprisonment for up to a year, a fine of $1,500, or up to 300 hours of community service, or a combination of the three.

Hundreds of segments of scandal-mongering ... but not one mention when even the GOP controlled House finds no scandal to be found.
Fox News Quiet After Congressional Report Finds No Benghazi Scandal
New House Intel Report Reportedly Finds No Intentional Wrongdoing By The Obama Administration
Media Matters for America
Fox News has gone silent on Benghazi amid reports that the House Intelligence Committee concluded that there was no intentional wrongdoing in the Obama administration's response to the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on August 1 that the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee voted to declassify findings from its investigation into the 2012 attacks on U.S diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, and "concluded that there was no deliberate wrongdoing by the Obama administration in the 2012 attack," according to committee member Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA).
The intelligence community "did not have specific tactical warning of an attack before it happened," the process used to create administration talking points was "flawed" but "reflected the conflicting intelligence assessments in the days immediately following the crisis, and "there was no 'stand-down order' given to American personnel," Ranking Member Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-CA) said in a statement laying out the committee's findings.
It's a clinical, point-by-point refutation of the Benghazi hoax Fox has pushed for nearly 2 years.
Yet Fox News made no mention of the report on Monday.* In sharp contrast to its current silence, when House Speaker John Boehner announced the formation of a select committee to investigate Benghazi in June, Fox devoted at least 225 segments to the topic over just two weeks, an estimated publicity value of more than $124 million.
Fox's sudden lack of interest in congressional investigations into Benghazi comes less then one week after Rep. Trey Gowdy, head of the select committee, announced - in what Fox News billed as an "exclusive" interview - that he would hold more public hearings on the attacks in September.
"The American people have not been given clear answers to things like Benghazi," Bill O'Reilly said Friday night on Fox. Monday night, O'Reilly's audience didn't learn the answers that the House Intelligence Committee declassified last week.
On July 31, the day the House Intelligence Committee adopted its report, Fox News signaled its intention to continue politicizing the Benghazi tragedy by immediately pivoting to Hillary Clinton.
"The Republican head of the powerful House Intelligence Committee told Fox News that there was no intelligence failure and that all roads lead to the State Department," Herridge said on America's Newsroom.
Hours later, the conclusion that there was no intelligence failure had evaporated from her reporting. "The chairman of the House Intelligence Committeee says, Hillary Clinton's State Department has more explaining to do," Herridge claimed on The Kelly Report that night.
That assessment was based on questions answered long ago about who signs diplomatic cablesat the State Department.

AD Kevin Anderson "not pursuing" Texas job
Midnight Madness returns to Cole Field House
Maryland athletic director Kevin Anderson is "not pursuing any other professional opportunities at other institutions," he wrote as part of a statement on the school's website Friday evening.
Anderson had been linked in media reports to the athletic director position at the University of Texas and the statement Friday was his first public acknowledgement of those reports.
"I must confess I am humbled to be mentioned in connection with such a position, but more importantly, I feel it speaks volumes to the outstanding progress we have made at the University of Maryland and to the new heights our athletic department is destined for in the future," Anderson wrote.
"I am steadfast in my commitment to the University of Maryland."
Anderson came to Maryland in 2010 and was instrumental in the school's move to the Big Ten Conference, which officially takes place next season.
During his tenure, Maryland has seen the departure of long-time coaches in two major revenue sports--football and men's basketball--and the hirings of coaches Randy Edsall and Mark Turgeon.

Stuffed pita pockets
By Tali Simon | October 3, 2011
I was going to post this yesterday as something to do with the homemade chummus I blogged about. It was also going to be my suggestion for a great way to break the fast.
When a fast-day headache took over, I gave up and went to bed. But it's still a great way to use that chummus, and by all means, feel free to serve this at your next break-fast meal. It's one of those wholesome feel-good meals I love so much, and the prep work is so simple.
The original recipe says to use black bean dip, which I'm sure would be good. But since I didn't have any canned black beans and my last few attempts at cooking dried beans were a disaster, I decided to use up my canned chickpeas instead. (Alternate suggestions: White bean dip or guacamole. So, so good.)
What's funny about this recipe is that there really isn't much to it. I didn't even make my own pitas (though the chummus was definitely my own). And yet, despite it being no-frills…it was really, really good.
It's also pretty versatile. I've talked about the different dips you could use to vary this up, and the salad can really be made from whatever veggies you have lying around. Which makes this an excellent Thursday night dinner in my book. Or, if you're using leftover Shabbos chummus, a great idea for Sunday night.
Just bake some sweet potato fries to go with, and you'll be all set.
Adapted from Norene's Healthy Kitchen
- 1 cup homemade chummus
- 4 medium whole wheat pitas, warmed
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup green pepper, diced
- 1 cup red pepper, diced
- 1 small cucumber, diced
- 1 small tomato, chopped
- 4 scallions, finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1. Prepare chummus as directed. It only takes five minutes, I promise.
2. Slice the tops off of the warmed pitas and gently open them up, spreading chummus inside. Reserve sliced-off pieces to eat right after washing.
3. Combine vegetables in a serving bowl and top with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Spoon some into each pita pocket and bring any extra salad to the table.

Updated: 03/08/2013 3:04 PM KSTP.com By: Jennie Olson
A 23-year-old man previously suspected in three attacks on women in Georgia has been charged with murder in the death of a Minnesota woman.
Alberto Prece Palmer was charged Friday in Anoka County with second-degree murder in the death of 18-year-old Brittany Clardy.
Investigators say Clardy met Palmer after he answered her online ad for massage services in February. A criminal complaint says Palmer told police the two fought after having sex, and he beat her in the head with a hammer.
Clardy's body was found Feb. 21 hidden in her mother's car, which had been towed to a Columbia Heights impound lot. The vehicle was towed from a Brooklyn Park apartment complex the day before Valentine's Day.
According to the Anoka County Sheriff's Office, two search warrants were executed Wednesday in Woodbury and Brooklyn Park. Evidence pointed to Palmer, who had numerous warrants out of the state of Georgia, police say.
Warrants included kidnapping to facilitate flight, criminal sexual conduct, first-degree assault and false imprisonment.
"As this case began to unravel, it became apparent that Brittany had followed a path in life that led her to prostitution," Anoka County Commander Paul Sommer said at a press conference. "Detectives were aware that she had posted ads on the internet classified site backpage.com. She had numerous cell phones that she used, and that began a forensic path to this investigation."
"The message that should go out is that this type of work – being involved in internet activities, meeting people – can be a very, very dangerous situation, and it is our belief that, unfortunately, the absolute worst happened for Brittany in this situation," Anoka County Attorney Tony Palumbo said at a press conference. "Parents, you need to monitor the pathway that comes into the home about what's going on with your children. It's unfortunately for Brittany that she wound up in this situation."
The investigation involved detectives and many other staff members from the Anoka County Sheriff's Office, the Brooklyn Park Police Department, the Brooklyn Center Police Department, the St. Paul Police Department, the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, the Columbia Heights Police Department, the Washington County Sheriff's Office, and the Woodbury Police Department.
"This case is an example of successful collaborative effort between many law enforcement agencies, all of whom played a significant role in this investigation," Anoka County Sheriff James Stuart said in a press conference.
For several years, Clardy worked with kids at the after school program at the North Dale Recreation Center in St. Paul.
"She was a beautiful young girl, always laughing and smiling, and always had friends around. And she'd always wave," said neighbor Mary Ksiazek. "She was a very nice girl, she worked up at the playground with other children."
Clardy was a student at Highland Park Senior High School until January 2012. School officials say she was very social, well-known and well-liked. Students and staff remembered her wonderful sense of humor.
It wasn't immediately clear Friday if Palmer had an attorney. He was held in the county jail in Anoka on $2 million bail.
