What Equipment Will I Need to Start My Home-Baking Business?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions, concerning a home-baking business start-up. Fortunately, for everyone who wants to start a home bakery, the process of sorting what to buy and what's best for your operation is not difficult at all. While there is much more in-depth information available on the subject, in this blog, I've tried to keep my response brief and to the point. If you still have questions after reading this post, more detailed information can be found in Chapter 4 of my book "Bringing Home the Baking. Just click on the "Buy the Book" page. And here we go with a list of basic start-up baking equipment and a few helpful tips.
Equipment List:
Oven – A half-size or full-size convection oven is the best multi-purpose commercial oven.
Mixer – A 12qt. or 20qt. mixer should cover your start-up needs. Unless, of course you already
have a demand for large quanties of product. In which case, a 40qt. or 60qt. mixer would
serve you better. See Tips at the end of this blog.
Refrigerator/Freezer – The choice of refrigerator or freezer and the size should be matched with
your specific needs/demands (raw ingredients and baked products
that require refrigeration or freezing).
Work Table – Stainless steel work tables are the most common and affordable in the food
preparation business. They are also required in many areas before a health permit
and business license are issued.
Sink – A commercial stainless-steel compartment sink is a necessity for commercial work-load.
This type of sink is required in most cities and counties before a business license and permits are
issued to the business owner.
Mop Sink – A relatively inexpensive item that's required in most cities and counties before a
business license and permits are issued.
These are the major equipment needs for a basic start-up bakery. If you're making a specialty product, the production of that product might call for a special piece of equipment. Any other items needed will probably fall under the headings of Storage, Smallwares and Tools.
Now for a Few Tips…
Don't over-extend yourself. Keep your start-up operation as simple and low cost as possible. It's always great if you can keep expenses in proportion with your specific needs or demands.
The larger the equipment the greater the start-up cost. The larger the equipment the more space needed in your bakery area. You can always sell equipment and upgrade to a larger size when the baking production dictates.
To help keep cost to a minimum, I suggest purchasing used equipment. Recommended brands of new and used commercial equipment are: Hobart, Vulcan and Viking.
If you would like more information on start-up equipment for your bakery and suggested places for purchase, see Chapter 4 of "Bringing Home the Baking".
Happy Shopping!

Valiant for Truth - American Presbyterianism
In this episode Office Hours talks with President W. Robert Godfrey and D. G. Hart about their new book, Westminster Seminary California: A New Old School
Institutions all have histories, but few of them take a reflective moment to pause and remember how they were born. Such an exercise is not self-focused navel gazing but rather a recognition of all of the various people and great sacrifices that have been made to create, build, and seek to help others. In this case, WSC is very excited to announce the release of Westminster Seminary California: A New Old School
"What is the chief and highest end of man?" This is our ultimate question and should be the heartbeat of who we are, thinking of it daily. This is what it is all about as a Christian. To have a "chief end" means that we were made for something, that we have a main purpose in life. And we have a "highest end," among the many goals and accomplishments of our lives.
Keep your eyes peeled (I know, as painful as that might be). There's a new book soon to be released later this summer: Westminster Seminary California--A New Old School, written by W. Robert Godfrey and D. G. Hart. This book has been in the works for a number of years and tells the history of the seminary. Recently there have been some who claim to know what the seminary is all about, but such purported "histories" reveal more about the critic than they do the seminary.
I am thankful for the invitation to contribute to the Valiant for Truth blog. In the series that follows, I will be offering Meditations on the Larger Catechism, which will include exposition and application of this wonderful statement of Christian teaching from our Reformed Protestant tradition.

Anyways, guess who we ran into at the game? Sitting in the same row and just a couple of seats over was our very own Montez Harrison (Sr. Fan Relations Rep for the SJ Earthquakes). We exchanged hellos and Montez asked us if we were ready to come back to a Quakes game. "Nope". She than said, "Well, when you are ready, come on down." My response was, "be sure to call me when the drum policy changes.". Montez replied, "You are on the top of my list to call if that happens."

Hi Montez!
H and my family were at the FC Gold Pride v. Boston Breakers game last night at CSUEB (Pride 1-nil victory BTW).

Letter from Front Office
I really appreciated the letter I received from Mr. David Alioto, Executive Vice President of the Q's. His letter was very professional and we can agree to disagree on this one. I sincerely appreciate the organization's willingness to provide me a refund on my season tickets (their policy is that all tickets sold are non-refundable). My decision to end my affiliation with the Q's was just that - my decision. I could have continued to attend games sans drum, but have chosen not to do so.
A couple of questions did come up for me after reading the letter:
(1) "Allowing four (4) drums only in Section 109 has enhanced the fan interaction not only in Section 109 but throughout the entire stadium on game days." The 4-drum policy was enacted only a few days before the next game and this letter was received by me shortly after that game. So how was this "success" measured? What variables were used to measure "fan interaction" through out the stadium? All of this was discovered only after one game?
(2) "Fan Relations and Guest Services have received nothing but positive responses to the new changes..." What was my letter? A non-response? Again - all of this was determined only after one game?
Message to the Earthquakes: Establish you policies BEFORE the start of the season so all of your fans understand them (don't just communicate them to the supporter groups). Use an entire season to evaluate the policies. Changing them all of the time and mid-season confuses fans and stadium staff.

Future Posts; Proud Smurf
Future posts on this blog will be very limited due to the circumstances. Interesting that our friend "Proud Smurf", a loyal Quakes supporter and a member of the Ultras, has decided to take up our cause. He will be asking a "high-level" Ultras member to talk to the Q's organization abo ut letting us in the stadium with our drums in Sec 108. I don't expect alot to come of this, but it does mean alot to us to have someone in our corner and supportive of us as fans - and he is doing this on his own accord (we did not ask for help). Thanks Smurf!

Sorry to those who may be reading this for the first time. You need to go back to some earlier posts to get caught up on this mess. Basically:
For 2 years, my cousin H and I have been diehard supporters of the San Jose Earthquakes since they returned to the MLS. We cheered and drummed in Section 108 - to increase the energy in a stadium that is really lacking in enthusiasm. We understand that "soccer" is not a big spectator sport here in the U.S. and that the Q's are trying to build a fan base.
So fast forward to the beginning of this season. I show up to a pre-season game at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco (Q's vs Houston). I am told that I cannot bring my drum into the stadium (not just Kezar, but also Buck Shaw - where the Q's play their regular season games in Santa Clara) because it is MLS policy. I said then why have I been able to bring the drum in for the last 2 seasons without knowing this or being informed of this policy? Why did the Q's website at that time list "drums" as an approved stadium item?
In order for us to bring the drums we were told we had to enter the stadium one hour early and come in with the "official" supporters groups (The Casbah and the Ultras). We hesitated at first, but then decided to try it. We came early and continued to cheer as we had in the past. Heck - at the last game a father came up to us to ask if his young son could play the drum and we said of course. The dad really appreciated us helping his son really enjoy the game.
Then this week, we are informed that the drum policy has changed again - only 4 drums total are going to be allowed in the stadium and only in Section 109 (where the Casbah and the Ultras sit). H and I sit in Sec 108 right next to them. The Q's rep said that maybe we could talk to the Ultras, since they do not like drums, that maybe we could bring our drums as part of the 4-drum quota. The thing we would have to do is sit in Sec 109 instead. H said, 'Why would we want to take our drums and sit in a section where we know the people dislike drums with a passion?
So after a month of this back and forth, with policies being unclear and changing all of the time, we felt that the performance of the Q's organization has been poor. I think they are as confused about this issue as are the fans.
I love football (soccer), but not enough to endure this frustration with the Q's. The only alternative we had left was to decide to stop going to games. I turned in the remaining tickets in our season ticket packet this morning and received a refund. I know that the Q's organization won't miss us. I will miss the players and all of the friends we have made over the past couple of seasons in Sec 108.
This morning I posted the link to my blog on the Q's Facebook fan page and it was promptly removed (I guess by someone in the Q's organization). They can try to hide their errors, but that will do little good. Cow manure is.......cow manure (no matter how many pretty bows and flowers you cover it with).
Does anyone have the # for the ticket office for the FC Gold Pride?

The Nightmare is OVER
I just got off of the telephone with one of the Q's fan relations staff who was very courteous and professional. Basically - drums are going to be limited to only 4 in Sec 109 (the Casbah and Ultras).
Q's: Because the Ultras do not like drums, you could bring your drums in "to be part of the total 4", but you will have to move to Sec 109.
R: No - we do not want to move to Sec 109
Q's: That is all we really can do. I was hoping that we could come up with a solution for you. The policy will reviewed after 3 games - and if more changes need to be made, they will change them. We have also had growing complaints about the supporters groups and drums (Note: I know that there is unrest between the supporters groups, but was totally unaware of the general complaints about the drums.)
R: That's ridiculous to jerk the fans around like this.
Q's: We really can't do anything else. We would really love to have you as a supporter the remainder of the season.
R: How do I get my refund?
The match is over. The Quakes LOSE.
Oh, by the way, "DID YOU FEEL THAT?"
(Lisa, Ed, Sharon, Jeff, etc: Sorry to have this end this way. We will really miss seeing you all - it was such a great time last week (and the past 2 seasons). This whole drum issue and the feeling of being treated as "nothing" has drained both H and I completely. )
Posted by Rick, the Zone Captain at 3:10 PM No comments:
I guess this means goodbye
Although we have not spoken to anyone in the front office yet - H and I have discussed this whole drum thing and have decided that our relationship with the San Jose Earthquakes must end. We have supported this team as best we know how - in the stadium and outside. We have brought many friends and organzied groups to come to Quakes games. San Jose Earthquake logos adorn each of our vehicles.
I guess all of that really doesn't matter anymore. Unless a miracles happens, this blog might be transforming into the, "Lion's Den" (FC Gold Pride).
Thanks for jerking us around this year Quakes.

Sculpture Garden
In the mid-1960s Claes Oldenburg began to make drawings of monuments based on common objects, such as a clothespin or a pair of scissors, challenging the notion that public monuments must commemorate historical figures or events. The artist's selection of discredited or obsolete objects extends to those remembered from childhood. As a youngster he enjoyed playing in his father's office with a typewriter eraser. In the late 1960s and 1970s he used the eraser as a source for drawings, prints, sculpture, and even a never-realized monument for New York City. This sculpture presents a giant falling eraser that has just alighted, the bristles of the brush turned upward in a graceful, dynamic gesture.
Sculpture Garden
Joan Miró created most of his sculpture -- more than 150 examples -- after his seventieth birthday. These late works fall into two formal groups: those cast from forms modeled by the artist and those cast from found objects. One of Miró's largest sculptures, Personnage Gothique relates to both types, since the bird was cast from an object the artist created, while the head was cast from a cardboard box and the body from a donkey yoke. Through the juxtaposition of disparate objects, surrealist artists such as Miró sought to evoke surprise and stimulate associations in the mind of the viewer. With its multiplicity of suggestive forms, Personnage Gothique embodies Miró's lifelong concern with richly imaginative imagery that he said was "always born in a state of hallucination."
Sculpture Garden
Since 1984 Louise Bourgeois has been developing a body of work with the spider as protagonist. For the artist, whose work has explored themes of childhood memory and loss, the spider carries associations of a maternal figure. Indeed, Bourgeois' "Spider" series relates to her own mother who died when the artist was twenty-one. From drawings to large-scale installations, Bourgeois' spiders appear as looming and powerful protectresses, yet are nurturing, delicate, and vulnerable.
Sculpture Garden
Over the last thirty years, Polish sculptor Magdalena Abakanowicz has created a compelling and highly emotional body of work, largely drawn from her personal experience of World War II and its aftermath. She is best known for her "crowds" (as she calls them) of headless, rigidly posed figures whose anonymity and repetitious presentation have been regarded as the artist's personal response to totalitarianism.
Trained as a textile artist, Abakanowicz first used burlap in her indoor sculpture to achieve modulated, deeply incised surfaces for powerfully expressive ends. Each of the thirty bronzes in Puellae is a unique cast, made from a burlap mold that the artist individually worked during the casting process. Each puella's diminutive size is unusual, since Abakanowicz has traditionally depicted adults as life-size or larger. The work refers to an account the artist heard as a child in Poland during World War II about a group of children who froze to death as they were transported in cattle cars from Poland to Germany, as part of the "Arianization" process. Depending on the site, these figures can be arranged in any configuration.
Sculpture Garden
The sculpture that Mark di Suvero began to make in the late 1950s consisted of massive, weathered timbers and found objects such as barrels, chains, or tires. Their dramatically cantilevered forms were seen as sculptural equivalents of the bold, gestural paintings of Franz Kline or Willem de Kooning. In the 1960s di Suvero stopped relying on scavenged industrial materials and began to create works from steel beams that he moved with cranes and bolted together to create large outdoor pieces.
Aurora is a tour de force of design and engineering. Its sophisticated structural system distributes eight tons of steel over three diagonal supports to combine massive scale with elegance of proportion. Several of the linear elements converge within a central circular hub and then explode outward, imparting tension and dynamism to the whole. The title, Aurora, comes from a poem about New York City by Federico García Lorca.
Sculpture Garden
Scott Burton's work has been described as "sculpture in love with furniture." Indeed, the artist intended much of his work to be both sculptural and functional. He also preferred a public setting, where the objects would be used. Burton openly acknowledged a debt to Constantin Brancusi, who was the first modern sculptor to challenge the conventional distinction between aesthetic and utilitarian form. Here Burton contrasts the massiveness of his forms with a material -- red granite -- that is visually sumptuous and warm. The individual seats can be arranged in a circle, suggesting a ceremonial gathering, or side-by-side to form a long bench.
Sculpture Garden
Achieving a balance between abstraction and representation, the geometric forms of Untitled can be said to resemble the torso and appendages of a human figure striking a precarious pose. This impression changes as we move around the object, encountering a multiplicity of animated compositions. Originally constructed from plywood sheets, the elements of this work were carefully cast to retain the wood grain pattern.
Sculpture Garden
After moving from Manhattan to the countryside in New York State in 1970, Ellsworth Kelly began to make large sculptures for the outdoors. The distinctive shape of Stele II had already appeared in the artist's abstract paintings and is loosely based on a French kilometer marker, an object Kelly observed during his years in Paris after World War II. Alluding to the severe presence of the work, especially in a landscape setting, the title refers to a type of ancient stone monument that traditionally served a commemorative function. Like most ancient stelae, this sculpture is also essentially planar and upright. The steel weathers when exposed to the elements, developing an evenly corroded, non-reflective surface.
Sculpture Garden
Reacting against the formal, constructed metal sculpture that predominated when he was in art school, Barry Flanagan explored painting, dance, and installation pieces. He has produced an inventive and varied body of work filled with humor and poetic associations, often evoked by the particular organic materials he employed. While working with clay in the early 1980s, Flanagan perceived the image of a hare "unveiling" itself before him. The hare has appeared in an endless variety of guises in Flanagan's bronzes. In Thinker on a Rock the artist substitutes his signature hare for Rodin's Thinker (1880), making a witty and irreverent reference to one of the world's best-known sculptures.
Sculpture Garden
From the early 1960s to the present, Sol LeWitt has been at the forefront of minimal and conceptual art. LeWitt's "structures" (a term he prefers to sculpture) are generally composed with modular, quasi-architectural forms. For many of his works, LeWitt creates a plan and a set of instructions to be executed by others. Four-Sided Pyramid was constructed on this site by a team of engineers and stone masons in collaboration with the artist. The terraced pyramid, first employed by LeWitt in the 1960s, relates to the setback design that had long been characteristic of New York City skyscrapers. Its geometric structure also alludes to the ziggurats of ancient Mesopotamia.
Sculpture Garden
Since the 1960s, Lucas Samaras has devoted his art to the evocation of an intensely private, obsessional, sometimes hallucinatory realm. Among the many motifs that occur in his work, the chair is especially prominent. The "Chair Transformation" series has included provocative sculptures executed in a variety of materials including wood, wire mesh, and mirrored glass. Throughout the series, Samaras transforms the ordinary object into a fantastical one, evoking a dreamlike metamorphosis. Here the artist suggests an animated flight of stacked chairs. A deceptively simple form, the sculpture appears from different viewpoints to be upright, leaning back, or springing forward.
Sculpture Garden
Smith's work is related to the simplified geometric forms in the minimalist art of the 1960s, but was also strongly influenced by the artist's early career as an architect. The structure of Moondog is based on the lattice motif that Smith used as the building block for a spare yet complex formal and expressive language. Indeed, while Moondog is a logical geometric configuration (fifteen extended octahedrons plus ten tetrahedrons), from certain viewpoints it has a startling tilt, conveying an impression of instability. Smith compared this sculpture to a variety of forms, including a Japanese lantern and a human pelvic bone. The title itself derives from two sources: Moondog was the name of a blind poet and folk musician who lived in New York City, and Smith has also likened this sculpture to Dog Barking at the Moon, a painting by Joan Miró. He first created Moondog in 1964 as a 33-inch cardboard model, intending to "cast the piece in bronze as a garden sculpture," which he did in 1970. Smith himself planned the large scale edition of Moondog, although it was not produced in his lifetime.
Sculpture Garden
In contrast to sculpture cast in bronze or carved in stone, constructed sculpture -- and particularly welded metal sculpture -- constituted a major direction taken by American artists after World War II. The work of sculptor David Smith emerged within the context of the New York School in the 1940s and 1950s. Smith said of his preferred medium, welded steel: "The metal itself possesses little art history. What associations it possesses are those of this century: power, structure, movement, progress, suspension, brutality." Smith most often created works in series, culminating in the 1960s with the "Cubis," which were made up of simple but monumental cubic or cylindrical shapes precisely crafted, assembled, and polished by the artist. "I depend a great deal on the reflective power of light," he said. Cubi XXVI achieves a dynamic equilibrium between the static nature of its looming geometrical components and the dramatic upward and outward thrust of its composition.
Sculpture Garden
During the last two decades of his life Alexander Calder devoted his greatest efforts to large-scale mobiles and stabiles, many of which have become popular public landmarks in cities around the world. Unlike his earlier works, these huge objects required a collaborative effort. To fabricate Cheval Rouge the artist worked with skilled technicians and metalworkers at the Biémont Foundry in Tours, France.
Calder's outdoor stabiles such as Cheval Rouge exhibit a universally appealing grace and, though steadfastly abstract, evoke a friendly resonance with natural forms. Here the sleek, tapering legs and tensile up-thrust "neck" recall the muscularity and power of a thoroughbred. This stabile reflects Calder's assertion: "I want to make things that are fun to look at, that have no propaganda value whatsoever."
Sculpture Garden
Roy Lichtenstein is best known for the pop paintings based on advertisements and comic strips that he made in the 1960s. He also produced a significant body of sculpture, including large-scale works designed for the outdoors. House I incorporates the hallmarks of the artist's style: crisp, elemental drawing, heavy black outlines, and a palette based on primary colors. Whereas most of the artist's sculpture approximates freestanding paintings in relief rather than volumetric structures in the round, some of his late sculpture, such as House I, exploits the illusionistic effects of a third dimension. The side of the house at once projects toward the viewer while appearing to recede into space.
Sculpture Garden
A leading figure of the Art Nouveau movement in France, architect Hector Guimard designed 141 models of the Paris entrance to the Métropolitain between 1900 and 1913. He was given the official responsibility for the design of the Métro system, which featured prominently in 1900 at the time of the Exposition Universelle in Paris. Guimard's fame rests largely on the strength of his designs for the Métro entrances. The Art Nouveau movement in Paris also became known as le style Métro and le style Guimard. The architectural forms draw their inspiration from nature, here most notable in the plant stems that support the sign. This coupling of organic form with the new, cast iron fabrication method became a defining characteristic of Art Nouveau architecture. Eighty-six of his Métropolitain stations are still standing, and in 1978 they were registered in Paris as Monuments Historiques.
Overview: Designed to offer year-round enjoyment to the public in one of the preeminent locations on the National Mall, the National Gallery Sculpture Garden includes seventeen works from the Gallery's growing collection as well as loans for special exhibitions.
Installations include Claes Oldenburg's Typewriter Eraser, Scale X (model 1998, fabricated 1999), and Joan Miró's Personnage Gothique, Oiseau-Eclair (1974, cast 1977), as well as new acquisitions.
Located in the 6.1-acre block adjacent to the West Building, the elegant yet informal Garden includes new plantings of native American species of canopy trees, flowering trees, shrubs, ground covers, and perennials. A fountain, which serves as an ice rink in winter, is at the center of the Garden, and walking and seating areas offer visitors a chance to rest and reflect on the works on view. The Pavilion Café offers year-round café service, along with indoor seating. The Sculpture Garden is enclosed by a decorative metal fence with marble piers and plinths, designed to reflect the historic character of the West Building. There are six public entryways to the Sculpture Garden, and it is accessible to visitors with disabilities.
The Sculpture Garden is made possible by a 1991 agreement, signed by the National Park Service and the National Gallery of Art and approved by the National Capital Planning Commission, to transfer jurisdiction of the Sculpture Garden site from the Park Service to the National Gallery.
Volunteer: The Sculpture Garden plantings are maintained by the National Gallery of Art horticulture staff. The division of horticulture is currently accepting applications for volunteers. For more information on volunteer opportunities, candidates should submit a letter of interest including all vital contact information to email@example.com.

Neuroscience Certification Program Information
WTAMU Program in Neuroscience
As neuroscientists, we answer questions that range from how the brain functions and can it be repaired when it is damaged or diseased to how specific chemicals may impact molecular processes such as gene expression and cell signaling. We apply these questions to develop a greater understanding of how the nervous system normally functions, in addition to how disturbances in normal nerve function can lead to disease. We try to develop methods and instruments to help measure these functions of the nervous system and treatment them when they malfunction.
Our research at West Texas A&M University includes studies on a number of normal and abnormal functions of the nervous system and their treatment. Some research activities that students have been involved in are:

Two people were injured -- one critically -- in a four-vehicle crash Friday afternoon in Crystal Lake, authorities said.
Police said the crash occurred just before 3 p.m. at the intersection of routes 31 and 176. Three cars had come to a stop in the inner northbound lane of Route 31 due to traffic congestion when a fourth vehicle collided with the car in back, causing a chain reaction.

The disclosures came because the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act forced the Fed to reveal which banks and companies it lent money to in an effort to shore up the financial system from the end of December 2007 onwards.
It released the details of more than 21,000 individual transactions on its website on Wednesday, which showed that British banks represented more than a third - about $1.5 trillion - of the $3,300bn lent by the US authorities to prop up the financial sector.
Barclays borrowed $863bn from the Fed, with almost half coming in overnight loans through the Primary Dealer Credit Facility, a programme established by the central bank to help those banks that deal in US Treasuries.
Barclays has since repaid all its loans and said that much of its then borrowing was down to its purchase of Lehman's US business.
Royal Bank of Scotland borrowed $446bn, Bank of Scotland $181bn, Abbey National $19bn and HSBC borrowed less than $10bn.
The figures for the banks represent the total amount they borrowed and not the total outstanding borrowing at any one point.
RBS said it no longer used any of the Fed scheme and had "significantly reduced" its borrowing from central banks.
The Fed said on Wednesday that the fact banks from across the world has tapped its emergency lending "reflected the severe market disruptions during the financial crisis and generally did not reflect participants' financial weakness".

you guys act like jake cant cut it anymore as a OT, he is still one of the better OTs in the league, you dont move a OT to guard until they are washed up at OT. Jake is still a good OT
give him time to adjust to a totally differnt o-line scheme than he has ever played.

Which is better 10% interest compounded quarterly or 9.8% compounded continuously?
1 Answer | Add Yours
We note the following formulas:
`A = P(1+r/n)^(nt)`
`A = Pe^(rt)`
where r is the interest rate, P is the principal amount, n is the interest rate periods, t is time, and A is the amount after a certain time. The first formula corresponds to a compound interest, while the second to continuous compounding.
A 10% interest compounded quarterly gives us:
`A_(q) = P(1+(0.10)/4)^4 = P(1.025)^4 = 1.104P`
On the other hand, continuous compounding gives us:
`A_c = Pe^0.098 = 1.103P`
Notice, that after a year, the 10% compounded quarterly gives 1.104 times the initial amount (or 10.4% effective interest rate) while the continuous case gives only 1.103 times the initial (only 10.3% effective interest rate). Hence, 10% interest compounded quarterly is better (i.e. has higher effective interest rate).

Nationals draft Bryce Harper's older brother, Bryan Harper
Jun 8, 2011, 11:19 AM EDT
Lost in Bryce Harper's latest foray into villainy is that the Nationals drafted his older brother yesterday, using their 30th-round pick on South Carolina left-hander Bryan Harper (not to be confused with the Brian Harper who spelled his name without a Y and was a really good player).
This is actually the second time the Nationals have drafted Bryan Harper. They also picked him in the 31st round out of high school in 2008, but didn't sign him. He went on to play with younger brother Bryce at College of Southern Nevada and then transferred to South Carolina this year.
Bryce naturally thinks Bryan is really good:
He's one of the most dominating left-handed pitchers I've seen in my life. My brother's pretty good and I wouldn't say it if he wasn't.
Perhaps, but Bryan Harper has a 5.40 ERA and 18/17 K/BB ratio as a reliever this season. For now at least Bryce should probably stick to hitting rather than scouting.
Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post speculates that the Nationals might send Bryan Harper to Single-A to play with Bryce. If they can sign him, of course. The 6-foot-5 southpaw still has one more season of eligibility left and could opt to return to school.

- kopy - Jun 8, 2011 at 12:11 PM
I have to admit, I did just judge this guy from knowing his brother and seeing this picture with a bad mustache, half-unbuttoned shirt, and a necklace with a jewel/charm on it.
- winkeroni - Jun 8, 2011 at 2:48 PM
Thanks for pointing out his mustache. I don't think there is such thing as a bad mustache. I was badazzled by the fact that the unbottoned shirt looked like he played for some sort of Carona club team and not South Carolina and failed to look at the rest of the picture.
- royalsfaninfargo - Jun 8, 2011 at 3:17 PM
Winkeroni, i must disagree. As a retired member of the US Army, believe me there is such a thing as a bad 'stache. I have seen them in all shapes and varying degrees of growth, but never outside the top lip!

And Jake is managing the A Ball club and coaching his younger bro at this point. Hopefully telling him to get out there ASAP.
- professor59 - Jun 8, 2011 at 4:52 PM
Mauer actually hasn't been injured at all. He's on a stud farm in rural Minnesota breeding future Twins as per his contract. It's their best hope for a solid 2036 season.

Why did he need to go to 4 different colleges? Southern Nevada was at least his 3 school going off his online bios and stats from previous ones. It almost reminds me of the baseball version of C.J. Henry's collegiate basketball career.

Linguistik-Klassifikation: Syntax
- Temporal gradation and temporal limitation (1980)
- In his magnum opus (Syntax and Semantics, Leiden 1978, henceforth: S&S) C.L. Ebeling makes a distinction between temporal gradation (pp 301-308 and 337-339) and temporal limitation (pp 311-315). In the case of temporal gradation "p , q", the meaning "q" specifies the time during which the referent carries the mean-ing "p".
- Proto-Indo-European verbal syntax (1983)
- It is argued that the PIE thematic flexion can be compared with the objective conjugation of the Uralic languages. The thematic vowel referred to an object in the absolutive (asigmatic nominative) case.

STANFORD, Calif. - Cal State Northridge men's volleyball had its last full practice Wednesday morning prior to the NCAA semifinal match against Penn State on Thursday. The Matadors went through a full practice from 10-11:30 before meeting the media and sitting through interviews with ESPN.
The following are excerpts from the Northridge press conference at Stanford's Maples Pavilion on Wednesday.
Matador head coach Jeff Campbell
On playing Penn State in the NCAA semifinals:
"We've got plenty of film. We feel fairly comfortable and we know who their best players are and in general what they are going to do. If we are going to win, it's going to be up for us to execute. Just like every other match, we are serving and passing well and it's going to come down to those skills."
On the advantages of the Matadors defeating Penn State at home on Apr. 10 in Northridge:
"I think it is an advantage, but I don't know if that's going to play out in this match or not. We have played something like 19 wins against top-15 teams this year. I think that is an advantage going in, but ultimately we have play and play hard."
On the play of senior middle Kevin McKniff:
"Kevin has done a great job for us. He came in very raw as a true freshman. And basically he has been a four-year starter for us and done a great job. Some of Kevin's physical skills, he's got a great arm and can really kill the ball. I think he led our league in hitting so he's done a great job at attacking and serving. Stats don't tell the the whole story, and he's gotten a lot of teams in trouble with his serving."
On the play of senior middle Jacek Ratajczak
"Jack has played all four years for us. Offensively has been a fantastic player and been a big threat in the middle for us. Blocking and attacking and his serve has really come around the last 2, 3, 4 weeks, he has really honed his serving. Our middles have been the go-to players on this team...In order to get to the middles, we have to set and pass."
On the Matadors needing more offense from their outside hitters:
"You can't survive just on the middle. When we have played our best, we have had an outside attack. When we have played poorly, it is because our outside attack is playing poorly."
On outside hitter Theo Edwards health:
"Theo Edwards strained his ankle (three weeks ago) and has not been 100 percent the last three weeks. Theo had been our kill leader for the outsides. He looked pretty good today and hopefully he will be effective tomorrow night. That is definitely an issue for us."
Senior Middle Blocker Kevin McKniff
On playing non-conference foes Penn State and Ohio State:
"We played Penn State on our senior night, but never had any experience with Ohio State."
On seeing Penn State in person as opposed to watching them on tape:
"It definitely helps. We know what to expect from them. We are not going to be uncomfortable playing them again."
On playing at Stanford's Maples Pavilion:
"I am really comfortable here having played here for five years. I really like this place and I feel comfortable."
On playing in the NCAA Tournament for the first time:
"It's really more exciting and not overwhelming."
Senior Middle Blocker Jacek Ratajczak
On playing Penn State:
"We've seen them having played against them this year. We know what they do and they know what we do."
On playing BYU in Provo, Utah:
"It's tough to play there, with the altitude and they are big volleyball fans there. They have 2-4000 fans there and have a big home advantage."

Skudrzik scored two goals and tallied one assist last weekend.
Oct. 9, 2006
CINCINNATI - Senior forward Toni Skudrzik has been named Atlantic 10 Co-Player of the Week for his efforts in leading the Xavier men's soccer team to a spotless 2-0 record over the weekend. Skudrzik scored two goals, including the game-winner vs. Massachusetts on Sunday, to lead Xavier to its first two-win weekend since 2003.
Skudrzik is Xavier's first Atlantic 10 Player of the Week honoree since Brandon Lalley earned the accolade on October 13, 2003.
Skudrzik's game-winner on Sunday came off a corner kick just seconds after he had been inserted into the lineup. The Indianapolis native helped Xavier to its first 3-0-0 start in Atlantic 10 play since the 1998 season and to its first three-match winning streak since 2002.
The Musketeers, now 6-6-0, have notched six wins in 12 matches and that marks the fastest Xavier has reached six wins since the 1998 campaign.
Skudrzik scored Xavier's first goal in its 2-1 win over Rhode Island on Friday and tallied a three-point afternoon on Sunday by also dishing out an assist against the Minutemen on Sunday.
The Musketeers are back in action when they travel to defending league champion Saint Louis to take on the Billikens. Game time is set for 7 p.m. on Friday.

Under Court Order, EPA Tightens Water Pollution Standards…Sorta
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter On any given day, and especially after rainstorms, you're likely to find lots of
On any given day, and especially after rainstorms, you're likely to find lots of nasties swirling in the water at your local beach, lake, or river, and to limit your risk, states regularly test water based on guidelines issued by the Environmental Protection Agency. This week, after relying on the same criteria for the past 26 years and being ordered by a federal court to update them, the EPA issued its new standards. Good news, right? Not so fast. The new guidelines are ineffectual, confusing, and optional, say critics.
Under the new system, the EPA gives states the option of adopting one of two sets of criteria for measuring levels of E. coli and enterococci, which are bacteria that indicate fecal contamination and cause gastrointestinal illnesses. One choice is to limit bacteria to levels that would sicken 32 out of every 1,000 swimmers or surfers exposed; the other restricts levels to 36 out of every 1,000. The higher of the two bacteria concentration levels is essentially the same as the previous standards.
The EPA only acted after being sued by the National Resources Defense Council, the National Association of Clean Water Agencies, and other groups, and after being order to do so by a federal district court that agreed with the NGOs.
The Surfrider Foundation had eagerly awaited the new guidelines, said Surfrider's Rick Wilson, and had encouraged members to petition the EPA to make improvements. Now that the criteria have finally been reset, there's a sense of both relief and disappointment. "We are happy that there are some lower, more protective numbers," Wilson told Adventure Journal. "But on the other hand, there's a lot of confusion."
The problems stem from the fact that the new acceptable contamination levels are only a slight improvement over the old ones, and in certain circumstances they're actually worse.
But the bigger frustration has to do with enforcement of the criteria — or lack thereof. States are not required to implement any changes to their testing or begin meeting the new standards, and there are no incentives for them to do so. Not only that, but the federal Beach Act had awarded $200,000 to $500,000 per year to states that used the old criteria, but that money dries up at the end of this year.
"We're sitting here asking ourselves why would a state want to adopt the lower numbers?" Wilson says. "I hope I'm wrong but I don't see many states jumping to do it when there's no carrot or stick."
Even if states do enact the new guidelines, it will take at least a couple of years for the changes go into effect, according to Wilson. "There's a lot of uncertainty right now," he says. "No matter what, nothing's going to change very fast."
That leaves surfers and swimmers to keep contending with water-borne sicknesses. Surfrider's site hosts a crowd-sourced illness reporting tool where members can describe their symptoms and tag the spot where they fell sick on a world map. Recent entries come from a surfer hit with gastroenteritis at California's Topanga Beach; a swimmer who contracted a sinus and ear "super bug" in Cape Cod, Massachusetts; and a surfer who sustained an upper respiratory infection in North Carolina's Outer Banks.

Aug. 10, 2011
Albuquerque, N.M. --- A slate of fourteen conference contests comprises the 2012 women's basketball schedule for the New Mexico Lobos. While game times are still to be determined, the following game dates are final as per the Mountain West conference office.
The conference schedule adheres a Wednesday-Saturday game format for eight weeks, with one BYE day for every team on Wednesday, Feb. 28 and with each team playing a Tuesday game once over the course of the schedule.
Changes to the Mountain West will make the second half of the season "different," head coach Yvonne Sanchez said simply. "Losing BYU and Utah will be different. We gain Boise State, which is a nice addition, but again - it will be different."
New Mexico will feel the differences immediately as they will open the conference schedule with a trip to Boise to take on the Broncos in a Wednesday, Jan. 11 match-up.
"We start and end the season on the road, so that will be challenging," Sanchez said. Luckily, their first road trip is only a one game stint, as the Sunday counterpart of week one brings the team back to The Pit for their conference home opener against Wyoming on Jan. 14.
Week two will showcase another split week, with Wednesday's game on Jan. 17 requiring a venture to San Diego State, while Saturday's Jan. 21 game has UNM hosting UNLV.
The team will hit the road for the entirety of week three, taking on Colorado State on Jan. 25 in Fort Collins and heading to Fort Worth to face off against TCU on Jan. 28. They'll come back to The Pit for two straight, taking on Air Force in their Tuesday game on Jan. 31 and then hosting Boise on Saturday the 24th before the Feb. 8 BYE week.
"Our conference schedule is always challenging. TCU will be good, San Diego State will be good, and you'll have other teams that emerge as the season goes on," Sanchez explained. "Wyoming has five incoming freshmen and is also very well coached.
"But for us the expectations are always the same," she continued. "We want to be up there in the conference throughout the season, and by the time we get to the Mountain West Tournament we want to be playing our best ball."
A full week's rest will bring them to a Saturday showdown in Wyoming on Feb. 11, followed by a home game against San Diego State on Feb. 15 and a trip to Vegas on the 18th to take on UNLV. The Lobos will have back-to-back home games against Colorado State and TCU on the 22nd and 25th respectively, and will close out conference play on Feb. 29 against Air Force in Colorado Springs.
"The conference schedule is like part two of our three-part season," Sanchez said. "Our non-conference schedule will prepare us for conference play, and if we're peaking during the Mountain West Tournament like we're hoping, we'll be on track to make a good run come tournament time."

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals' Darnell Dockett carted off field, likely done for season
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- You expect them, but you can't predict them.
You deal with them, but you are usually worse off because of them.
Injuries are an understood part of the NFL, but that does not make them any easier to stomach. So when Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett was lying on the ground in pain after a play early in Monday's practice at University of Phoenix Stadium, the mood took a turn.
"It's very unfortunate," defensive lineman Frostee Rucker said after practice. "We all know it's the part of the game that everyone hates, people getting hurt and people getting cut. We don't know what happened; I'm rushing in there right now to see what happened to the Cap.
"We're just hoping and praying for the best right now."
No one seemed quite sure of what happened on the play, but it was likely Dockett's last of 2014, as the Cardinals announced late Monday that Dockett had torn his right ACL.
This now opens the door for Rucker, and others, to help fill the void left by the three-time Pro Bowler who has 349 career tackles along with 40.5 sacks. Though Dockett is not the player he once was, he was coming off a season that saw him post 4.5 sacks, and he is still one of the more respected players in the league.
He's also a leader on the Cardinals, for whom he is tied with Larry Fitzgerald as the longest tenured member of the team.
"It's just a tough situation to be in," defensive end Calais Campbell said. "He's a great player, a guy we really count on week in and week out to be a leader and take us where we want to go."
So even though it is part of the game, it's never easy to see a player -- especially one of Dockett's caliber -- get hurt. At the beginning of camp, Dockett himself seemed understanding of the risk, pointing out that he wasn't looking at this season any differently because of the idea that his window may have been closing because along the defensive line, he said, the window is always closing.
"I take real advantage of that, I don't take it for granted because I also understand anything can happen," he said on July 25. "I don't look at it so far as the years-wise, I look at it as the opportunities. Every play is a play you can go down, especially at that position."
At this point, those words seem to be unfortunately prophetic.
The Cardinals will need to fall back on the "next man up" mentality that has served them well. But while it's a nice rallying cry, it still wouldn't mask the fact that one of the team's captains, leaders and most reliable players is unable to be on the field helping.
Rucker said he would be comfortable filling in if called upon, which is the mentality everyone seems to have.
"We know it's part of the game; that's the chance that we take when we play this sport," defensive tackle Dan Williams said. "You hate for a guy to go down, but in the meantime someone, if it is major, someone has to step up. We know in this business that comes with it."
That said, going forward without Dockett, who has missed just two games to injury in 10 seasons since being selected in the third round of the 2004 NFL Draft, would be a new and unexpected venture for a team with postseason aspirations in large part because of what Dockett and the defense were expected to do.
"I played against him for three of those years when I was in Seattle," tight end John Carlson said. "He's a beast. That's all I'm going to say, he's a beast. He's a beast."

Technical Data
Calpain 1 (Calcium-activated neutral protease, Calcium-activated neutral proteinase 1, Calpain 1 large subunit, CANP, CANP I, CANP1, Capa-1, Capa1, Capn1,mu-Calpain, muCANP, muCL, u-Calpain)
The calpain (calcium-dependent protease or calcium-activated neutral protease) system consists of two ubiquitous forms of calpain (Mu Calpain and M Calpain), a tissue specific calpain (N Calpain), and a calpain inhibitory protein (calpastatin). The calpain system has been detected in every vertebrate tissue examined, and has been suggested to play a regulatory role in cellular protein metabolism. This regulatory role may have important implications in platelet aggregation and pathologies associated with altered calcium homeostasis and protein metabolism such as ischemic cell injury and degenerative diseases. Inhibitors of calpain have been shown to block dexamethasone and low-level irradiation induced apoptosis in thymocytes suggesting that calpain has a regulatory or mechanistic role in apoptotic cell death.Mu and M Calpains are heterodimers consisting of 28kD and 80kD subunits. The 28kD subunit is identical in the two isoforms, but the 80kD subunits differ with ~50% sequence similarity. 28kD / 80kD complexes are thought to be inactive proenzymes which, upon binding of calcium, undergo conformational changes that promotes cleavage of the 28kD subunit and results in enzyme activation.
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

Recipe by Linda (LMT)
"This was a dish my mother made during Lent when we were kids and at other times to stretch our grocery dollars. It's easy to make and simple in taste. This recipe can be multiplied easily to serve the number of people eating."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 cup
uncooked whole-wheat pasta shells
1/3 cup
frozen peas
eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons
grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1 teaspoon
grated Parmesan cheese
This was very simple yet very good! I added about a teaspoon of garlic salt when I added the Parmesan to the peas and pasta. I also added about half a stick of butter to the hot pot after dumping the peas and pasta in a colander. Would be great with tuna or bits of leftover ham. I'll try that next time.
Think scrambled eggs with peas, pasta, and Parmesan cheese. It tasted good and I'd have it again, but it was bland. If you season it like breakfast eggs, then that should help. You like salty eggs, add salt; garlic or hot sauce, add that.

I eat this all of the time! It's amazing and has just the right flavors! Its filling with the eggs and delicious with the peas.
I added some garlic and salt along with the pepper to the eggs. This was delicious and easy to prepare. My husband was a little leery of it at first but ended up loving it.
This was fast, easy, and good. The trifecta. I could definitely see adding some chicken though, to give just a little more flavor. Also, I added in some extra frozen veggies I had.
Good & easy dish to make. My grandson (5 yr. old) enjoyed it also. I did add freshly grated garlic because the original recipe didn't seem like it would have much flavor.
My family and I really enjoyed this it went perfect as a side dish with steak and a spinach salad. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.
It was good, but bland. So I ended up adding hot sauce for more flavor. After that it was very good.

Davy Jones, the pint-sized Englishman who became a teen idol for the Baby Boom generation as the lead singer of The Monkees, died today at the age of 66. TMZ is reporting that Jones, whose lead vocal propelled "Daydream Believer" to the top of the pop charts in December of 1967, suffered a heart attack in his Florida home.
Jones rose to fame in 1965 when he was selected to become a member of The Monkees, a group that was originally constructed to be a made-for-TV replica of The Beatles. Jones, along with Mickey Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork, proved to be a hit on both the small screen and the radio; the group churned out a number of wildly successful pop songs, including the #1 hits "Daydream Believer", "Last Train To Clarksville" and "I'm A Believer." Despite their prefabricated origins, The Monkees were eventually able to break free from their pop shackles; aided by the heady times and hallucinogens, the group released the experimental film and album Head in 1968, which has come to be recognized as essential documentation of the psychedelic era.
The group split up shortly after the release of Head, but that didn't prevent Jones from experiencing some solo success. In a memorable episode of The Brady Bunch, he and Marcia Brady spent an episode tamely flirting with each other as Jones recorded "Girl" in the studio.
The group experienced a major resurgence in 1985 when MTV executives, themselves Boomers who almost certainly grew up watching Jones and his bandmates on television, started airing re-runs of The Monkees in blocks. This exposed the group to a whole new generation of fans, and the band (save Nesmith) reunited for a new album, a hit single ("That Was Then, This Is Now") and a series of concert dates.
Jones is survived by his wife Jessica and four daughters, and everyone here at VH1 would like to extend our condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time.

Gran Habano Corojo #5 Imperiales Reviews
write your own review
Not just a good cigar for the price, a good cigar. Very well constructed with a good burn and plenty of flavor.
I have been smoking these cigars for a couple years now but this last box I purchase a couple weeks ago is no good. They have a musky smell and taste terrible.
Not just a good cigar for the price, a good cigar. Very well constructed with a good burn and plenty of flavor.
This is my favorite cigar. I've had a lot of people try this cigar and they fall in Love With It... Great Cigar Al Capone Would Approve...
hey i bought the sampler, & this was the first to try, at first look i thought this might be a strong one, wow was i wrong,great taste,great burn&construction ,nice draw,aroma, an o smoooooth
This one is perhaps the best cigar I've ever had! I mean, almost flawless. It had a very even and slow burn, great appearance, perfect draw, and was constructed like an Abrams tank! Take your time with this one. It will impress you. I will be buying a box of these and it will be interesting to see how these bad boys age in the humidor.
My brother got me one (along with some other name brand cigars) for my 50th birthday. He know's I like Cameroons and one of the guys who worked at the smoke shop shop steared him to these. I love you bro! These guys are have some spice, strong earthy tobaco flavor and some (creamy?) flavors that just work really well together. I think these things are worth a lot more than than I have paid for them... Bottom line... Awsome! PS If you like these try the GH #5 Czars. 6 X 66! You had better set aside some time to get through it though...
This has become my "Cigar of Choice". It is has a very creamy...carmel taste. Very oily dark wrapper with a excellent aroma! I smoke 4 to 6 cigars a day and never get tired of this smoke. Warning if you try....you will be hooked!!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE......enjoy with a hotcup of joe or a nice taste of makers mark....my favorite!!
Great cigar for the money and easily one of my favorites, it has a spiciness to it but it?s met by an underlying creaminess that smoothes the boldness out. Please keep these beauties in stock; they will be on my regular order rotation.
A very well constructed cigar that is consistent with flavor, nice creamy med-full bodied corojo cigar. Nice white ash very aromatic. I have yet.. to find a cigar that is even close for this line of cigar.. This cigar gauge burns cool with A mellow smoke that will burn for a long time pending how you smoke it. The price is perfect.. do not hesitate on this stick if you run across it. You will be thanking me later for bringing this to your attention as well as the rest.

Fiddlehead Theatre Company and The Boys and Girls Club of Dorchester are teaming up to bring the classic musical to life on April 12th at 7pm.
"Conjunction Junction, what's your function? Hooking up words and phrases and sentences!"
Following up on the successful team up of Fiddlehead Theatre Company and Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative to put together a pop up dinner theater all teen production of Fame Jr. at Restaurant Laura, Fiddlehead is working with The Boys and Girls Club of Dorchester to produce School House Rock Live, Jr, a rocking and rolling musical featuring local kids singing their hearts out.
The show took place on April 12th, curtain at 7pm, at the Strand Theatre. Tickets were free.
Lyrics and Music by Bob Dorough, Dave Frishberg, George Newall, Kathy Mandry, Lynn Ahrens, and Tom Yohe
Book by George Keating, Kyle Hall, and Scott Ferguson
Schoolhouse Rock Live! JR. is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. 421 West 54th Street, New York, NY 10019 Phone: 212-541-4684 Fax: 212-397-4684 www.MTIShows.com
Directed and Choreographed by Rachel Assaf
Musical Direction by Chris Cho
SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE! JR. opens at 6 a.m. as Tom Mizer, a young teacher, wakes up on his first day of work. As his alarm goes off, Tom enters and begins to rehearse his teaching technique. Soon, Tom's thoughts begin to take life around him. In an attempt to calm himself, Tom turns on the T.V. What's on this morning? Why, it's Schoolhouse Rock! As Tom gets drawn into the show the first song begins. Tom thinks he may be losing his marbles and attempts to turn off the T.V. His various alter egos convince him that he is O.K. Each one of them is a part of Tom's mind. They're every person, place and thing he has ever seen. Tom is still quite unconvinced that he is has not lost his mind. Undaunted, the ensemble sings, "A Noun is a Person, Place, or Thing."
Tom tries to move into his day by looking over his lesson plan, which he feels will be a tough job. George and the rest of the company assure him that with their help, it will be as easy as one, two, "Three Is a Magic Number." The song tells the tale of the magic number three and it's almost magical qualities. After the number about the number Tom remarks that it was, "…the coolest song." Which leads right into, "Unpack Your Adjectives." Shulie and company describe the descriptive qualities of adjectives.
After "Unpack Your Adjectives", Tom begins to accept the fact that his thoughts have taken on human form and loosens up a little. He pleads that he has to teach other subjects like Social Studies and his new-found helpers are right there for him with, "Just a Bill." George, dressed as a "bill" tells the story of a bill and it's journey towards becoming a law. The song reminds Tom just how much he remembered of, "Schoolhouse Rock", and Shulie reminds Tom that, "The Preamble" was another shining example of the series educational value. Each character remembers sitting taking a test and singing the tune that made the Preamble to the Constitution unforgettable.
Tom's having fun now, keeping things upbeat, the company moves into a rousing, "Circulation" detailing the circulatory system through a dance craze. Hot on the heels of medical science, it's back to grammar with one of the favorites of the show, "Conjunction Junction" delivered with the help of word signs with conjunctions on them making living sentences on stage. Leaving "Conjunction Junction", Tom is reminded of trains which reminds Dina of planes, boats and, finally, spaceships. Shulie's interest is sparked as she sings the up tempo pop song, "Interplanet Janet." The company forms with costumes and props the solar system as Shulie assumes the role of Janet.
The company feels that they have done their duty and that Tom is ready to teach. Tom's ready to teach, but not quite ready to leave his new friends, so he requests his personal favorite, "Interjections", which ends the show.

Video:What is Syphilis?with Dr. Bob Lahita
Syphilis can be a potentially fatal sexually transmitted disease, which can appear differently in men and women. Watch this About.com video to learn more about syphilis.See Transcript
Transcript:What is Syphilis?
Hi I'm Dr. Bob Lahita, the Chairman of Medicine at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and Professor of Medicine at University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and I'm talking to you about syphilis.
Syphilis is a Sexually Transmitted Disease
Syphilis has been around for hundreds of years. It is extremely serious. The organism's actual name is treponema palidum. It is sexually transmitted. And there is something called primary syphilis, and then secondary syphilis and tertiary syphilis. Primary syphilis is the one that we are most likely to face and that results in both women and men having ulcers- usually painless ulcers that are called chancres.
How Syphilis Occurs
Now, syphilis can occur in any orifice depending on the type of sexual relations that are practiced.In a usual male case of syphilis, an ulcer or chancre occurs on the shaft of the penis or at the tip of the penis which is painless. This can occur at the orifice of the vagina in a female. It can also occur in the throat in someone who's having oral sex, it can also occur in the rectal mucosa in someone who is having rectal intercourse.
Tertiary Syphilis
Tertiary syphilis is a very, very severe form of the disease. It is the end stage of the disease and requires very aggressive therapy. Tertiary syphilis results in an infection of the brain which can be quite serious with a disturbed gait and inability of a person to walk and function normally.Secondary syphilis can also be quite severe but is more readily treated and has less of clinical manifestations than does tertiary syphilis When syphilis is allowed to progress to the tertiary stage, it can be fatal in a very rapid fashion. For more information about this, go to About.com.

During the hearing – intended to focus on the President's FY 2015 budget proposal – Interior Secretary Jewell was questioned on the Antiquities Act by the sponsor of the Preventing New Parks Bill, Congressman Rob Bishop.
First is the nominee for Assistant Secretary for Lands and Minerals in the Department of Interior. President Obama has nominated Janice Schneider, a veteran of the department, to fill the position that has been vacant for more than 2 years.
Yet, here we are, with people and the government unable to stop furloughs, job losses, and lower revenue to keep the government functioning. Our public lands have certainly not been spared from this indiscriminate budget ax.
However, the bill keeps the devastating cuts to parks, wildlife refuges, and other wild lands that are part of the "sequestration"
A federal judge in Arizona has upheld the Interior Department's 2012 decision to ban uranium mining on public lands around Grand Canyon National Park.
Depending on when you read this, these cuts might already be in effect.
But the state of America's parks, wildlife refuges, and hiking trails are in serious jeopardy from budget cuts that could take effect on March 1st. These budget cuts, known as the "sequester&rdq
The beginning of President Obama's second term and the start of a new Congress provide great new opportunities for permanently protecting the wildest, most pristine parts of our public lands.
Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are pushing for the bill as a necessary step towards restoring areas that were catastrophically damaged by the hurricane.
Most are aware of the headline that middle-class tax cuts were preserved, but this wasn't the only issue that was dealt with in this far reaching bill.

For Ward 31 Councillor Janet Davis, this year's Pride was more special than previous years. As she usually does, Davis marched in the parade -- this year, with PFLAG and 12 city councillors -- but for the first time she was marching alongside her gay son, Keith.
"It was very, very interesting. He's always been watching, so I usually spend the parade looking for him in the crowd. But this time was really special. He wanted to join me -- it was his idea -- and I can't tell you the impact it had."
Keith, a 32-year-old advertising copywriter, first came out at 18. He had gradually come out to friends and family over the years, but it was only last year that he chose to share his sexuality with the wider public.
"Last year I was asked by [Councillor] Kristyn Wong-Tam to be part of the Pride TO rally," he says. "Pride's funding was at risk, and it's such an important event to the city that I wanted to speak out and support it."
The role of Pride was important to Davis, too, as it provided an occasion to mark their relationship and share it with the city. Keith had T-shirts specially made for the day: one read "Proud Mom" and the other "Proud Son." But as strong as that bond is, it took introspection and resolve to reach this point.
"I always had mixed feelings about [speaking about Keith's sexuality]. That it was private and should just stay private. I don't need to talk about it, and part of it was, I thought, protecting my son and the other part of it clearly was protecting myself from any unwanted criticism," Davis says.
Publicly sharing that she is the proud mother of a gay son has been an eye-opener for Davis, especially after joining PFLAG and hearing from more people about their own experiences: "I have been so surprised by the number of people who have told me how difficult it was to talk to their mothers."
To Davis, this highlights the need to share stories and perspectives publicly. "I have a responsibility not just as a parent, but as an elected official."
Even for a leftwing, progressive individual like Davis, it has been a challenge. When Keith came out she had a range of reactions. "'Maybe he's just experimenting,'" she recalls thinking to herself. "I was worried immediately about his health. I was worried about having grandchildren. I was concerned about what we would tell his brother . . . it's a difficult process to go through."
For his part, Keith describes his family as being very supportive; coming out took all of two minutes, wherein his mom asked him if he was seeing anyone at the time (no) and practising safe sex (yes).
Davis says that publicly sharing her feelings was more difficult than she thought it would be. But there they were on Sunday, wearing their T-shirts and feeling proud.
"It was really great. Just to soak up all of the energy and see people's faces, smiling," Keith says. "You don't get a view of all the spectators unless you're marching."
Davis felt similarly. "It was a huge connection. In a way, it was like a public testimony together: 'Yeah, this is my son. Here is my wonderful gay son.'"
While the parade helped facilitate that message, it was mother and son who provided the meaning behind it. "It was such an appropriate T-shirt," she adds. "It truly reflected how I felt."
"He is comfortable with who he is, and that is what I'm proud of."
