ST. ALBANS–Ruffie Palin's header in the 31st minute provided the only scoring Wednesday night, as North Country earned its' first victory of the season with a 1-0 decision over the Bobwhites.
BFA (1-4-1) gave the Homecoming crowd plenty to cheer for in the opening minutes with a series of great chances, and had a handful of shots at a wide-open net late. Falcon goalkeeper Logan Fortier made a few great stops, but most of St. Albans' chances flew wide of one post or the other.
NEWPORT–Katie Stames scored three goals to lead Peoples Academy to a 6-2 win over North Country in girls soccer action on Tuesday afternoon.
"They can score and they are all skilled That was a skill mismatch that we had to deal with and we got out smarted," said Falcon coach Peter Alexander.
North Country got off to a good start against the Wolves, as Brooke Breault fed Devinnie Davis to get the scoring started eleven minutes into the contest.
FAIRFAX–Lake Region ran up against the toughest team they are likely to face this season, BFA Fairfax, and while they played well, they came up just a little short on Tuesday afternoon.
After forty minutes the game remained scoreless, but seven minutes into the second BFA's Anissa Hartman was left alone in front of the net and buried the ball, giving Fairfax the 1-0 lead.
With 15:00 left in the half, BFA made it 2-0 as Kailtlyn Barnack found the back of the cage.
Karamae Hayman-Jones had the lone Lake Region goal on a feed from Tyrah Urie with 9:55 left to play.
NEWPORT–The UCA Crusaders ran up against a speedy Trinity Baptist Kings team on Monday afternoon, losing the contest 3-0.
"We've got some adjusting to do before we see them next week," UCA coach Alyssa DeLaBruere after the game. "Speed is not our strength. We've got size but not speed, so we have got to figure out a way to shut down three or four of their players that just can go."
The Kings used their quick feet to get on the board early as Christopher Zamarippa opened the scoring off of a corner kick just five minutes into the contest.
ORLEANS–A questionable call late led to Tyrah Urie scoring the game winning goal with 4:24 left in regulation as Lake Region defeated Enosburg 2-0 on Saturday afternoon.
Urie was driving down the left side of the field where she made contact with McKenzie Gleason, then fell to the ground.
Much to the surprise to those closest to the play, the referee awarded Urie the PK, and she made no mistake, sending the ball high and into the net.
"Sometimes that happens in soccer, but I am not going to make the call one way or another" said coach Brad Urie about the play.
North Country at Lyndon and U-32
Lyndon Meet – 9/20/12
LYNDON– The North Country boys took second, while the girls finished third in the Falcons, second meet of the season.
Alex Cotnoir, despite spraining an ankle during the race, was the top finisher for the boys in 5th, just 3 seconds back from 4th place runner with Andrew Franklin again on his heels and Sam Brunette just off of their pace.Â
Ross DeLaBruere had another strong race, pacing the top guys over the toughest hill before fading back a bit to 8th place.
NEWPORT–It is easy to cheer for a winner.
During last year's regular season, North Country's football team made winning mundane, so it was easy for fans to show up to the field and root, root, root for the home team.
This year it is just the opposite.
By now, most people know that the Falcons are a younger, smaller, less experienced version of the 2011 team, and they are going to go through some growing pains.
Last week's 53-0 loss coupled with Friday's 51-0 defeat at the hands of Rice leave the Falcons with no points for and 104 points against in the last two games.
NEWPORT–The third time was the charm for the North Country field hockey team on Friday.
After two goals were disallowed for various reasons, Mara Spates' tally with 4:21 left to play in the first was allowed and the Falcons rolled to the 2-0 win over Spaulding.
"They were amazing and the whole team played a great game," coach Chantelle Bouchard exclaimed enthusiastically about her girls' effort.
As play got underway, neither team had the advantage.
NEWPORT–After getting up 2-0 on goals by Betsy Dooley, the Harwood Highlanders were able to hold of a late surge by the Falcons to secure the 2-1 win in girl's soccer play on Wednesday.
"We were playing a division champ who can possess the ball better than we can, and I told the girls that you can get behind two to nothing and hope to comeback, as it was (we) came pretty close, but you can't give away forty minutes of a lot of 'kick-ball,' not against a possession team like them," said coach Peter Alexander.
ORLEANS-After falling to the Lake Region Ranger girls in Bradford a week ago, Oxbow made the adjustments they needed as they recorded a 2-0 win at Ranger Field. The Olympians connected on a goal in each half and made it stand up with mid-field dominance and a physical attitude. They pinned down high scoring Tyrah Urie holding the lineman to three shots on goal. Coach Brad Urie stated, "We learned a valuble lesson today. I think we may have taken them a little bit for granted and we're not good enough to just not play our hardest each time out. We will learn from this and be better for it."

Blends of trans-1,4 polymers of C4 -C5 conjugated diolefinic compounds and poly(epsilon-caprolactone) have improved properties and are suitable for use in medical casts or, when vulcanized, as golf ball covers.
1. A blend having improved properties comprising from about 98 to about 50 parts by weight of a trans-1,4 polymer of a C4 -C5 conjugated diolefinic compound and from about 2 to about 50 parts by weight of a poly(epsilon-caprolactone), said trans-1,4 polymer being selected from a trans-1,4 polymer of butadiene or isoprene in which the trans-1,4 content is at least about 75%, and said poly(epsilon-caprolactone) contains repeat units of the structure ##STR3## where p is at least 100 but not more than 3,000.
2. The blend of claim 1 wherein the trans-1,4 polymer is trans-1,4-polyisoprene containing at least 85% trans-1,4 units and having an X-ray diffraction crystallinity of at least 10%.
3. The blend of claim 1 which comprises from about 85 to about 60 parts by weight of the trans-1,4 polymer and from about 15 to about 40 parts by weight of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) and from about 10 to about 30 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polymer blend of at least one fine particle size inorganic filler.
4. The blend of claim 2 which comprises from about 85 to about 60 parts by weight of trans-1,4-polyisoprene and from about 15 to about 40 parts by weight of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) and from about 10 to about 30 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polymer blend of at least one fine particle size filler, the particle size being about 0.25 microns or less and the filler being selected from silica, titanium dioxide, diatomaceous earth or mixtures thereof.
5. The blend of claim 4 wherein the filler is a mixture of silica and titanium dioxide and is present as 20 to 30 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of polymer blend.
6. The blend of claim 2, suitable for use as a golf ball cover, wherein the trans-1,4-polyisoprene is present at from about 80 to about 65 parts by weight and the poly(epsilon-caprolactone) is present at from about 20 to about 35 parts by weight, and the polymeric blend has a melt flow index at 100° C. under a load of 10 kg of about 0.75 to about 2.0 g per 10 minutes.
This invention is directed to polymeric blends having improved properties, specifically to blends of trans-1,4 polymers of C4 -C5 conjugated diolefinic compounds with polymers of caprolactone.
One naturally occurring polymer of a trans-1,4 conjugated diolefinic compound is the polymer of isoprene known as balata or gutta percha. This polymer has enjoyed a variety of uses over the years including use in submarine cables and golf ball covers. The polymer is relatively high in cost and the supply is irregular. Because of this, it has been extensively replaced by a synthetic trans-1,4-polyisoprene which is available on a more regular supply basis and is of uniform composition, not needing the clean up and purification steps necessary with balata. Trans-1,4 polybutadiene is also available as a synthetic polymer which has generally similar characteristics to those of trans-1,4-polyisoprene. Another synthetic polymer which also possesses certain of the same characteristics is trans-1,4 polychloroprene.
A characteristic common to these polymers is that they all have a high level of crystallinity which leads to good strength properties in the polymer at normal temperatures and easy processing of the polymer at temperatures near or above the crystalline melting point. Further, these polymers are all vulcanizable, due to the presence of unsaturation alone or in combination with an active chlorine group. The raw polymer, or the raw polymer compounded with conventional compounding ingredients with the exception of vulcanization agents, may be used in a wide variety of applications where strength at ambient temperature is important. Such applications include medical casts, adhesives and moldable sheets. The vulcanized polymer may be used where hardness and a greater degree of permanence of shape is required such as in a golf ball cover.
Poly(epsilon-caprolactone) is a cyclic ester polymer which may be generally described as containing a major proportion of units of structure ##STR1## WHEREIN P IS NOT LESS THAN 100 AND NOT MORE THAN ABOUT 3,000. This particular polymer is crystalline and has a relatively high strength. However, it cannot be vulcanized due to the absence of unsaturation in the polymer. Because of the low crystalline melting point (about 60° C.) it has a low upper temperature service limit. Uses proposed for this polymer include formable toy applications, casts and household repair products.
We have now discovered that blends of trans-1,4 polymers of C4 -C5 conjugated diolefinic compounds and poly(epsilon-caprolactone) possess useful properties which would not be predictable based on the properties of the individual polymers of the blend. We have found, for example, that such blends yield improved medical casts in the nonvulcanized state and provide improved golf ball covers when vulcanized.
It is an object of this invention to provide blends having improved properties comprising a trans-1,4 polymer of C4 -C5 conjugated diolefinic compounds and poly(epsilon-caprolactone), the proportions of the polymers in the blend being from about 98 parts to about 50 parts by weight of the trans-1,4 polymer and from about 2 to about 50 parts by weight of the poly(epsilon-caprolactone).
It is a further object of this invention to provide blends having improved properties comprising trans-1,4 polymer of C4 -C5 conjugated diolefinic compounds and poly(epsilon-caprolactone) additionally containing from about 10 to about 30 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polymeric blend of at least one fine particle size filler, the proportions of the polymers in the blends being from about 85 parts to about 60 parts by weight of the trans-1,4 polymer and from about 15 to about 40 parts by weight of the poly(epsilon-caprolactone).
It is a still further objective of this invention to provide polymeric blends suitable for use as golf ball covers comprising trans-1,4 polyisoprene and poly(epsilon-caprolactone) wherein the amount of trans-1,4 polyisoprene is from about 80 parts to about 65 parts by weight and the amount of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) is from about 20 to about 35 parts by weight, the blend having a melt flow index under a load of 10kg of about 0.75 to about 2.0g per 10 minutes.
In the blends of this invention, suitable trans-1,4 polymers of C4 -C5 conjugated diolefinic compounds are the trans-1,4 polymers of butadiene, isoprene and chloroprene. The trans-1,4 content of these polymers is suitably at least about 75%, and preferably at least about 85%, of the unsaturation in the polymer. A preferred polymer is trans-1,4-polyisoprene which contains at least 85% trans-1,4 units and has at least 10%, preferably 20% to 40%, crystallinity at room temperature (that is about 20° to 30° C.) as measured by X-ray diffraction.
The poly(epsilon-caprolactone) used in the blends of this invention contains repeat units of the structure ##STR2## where p is at least 100 and not more than about 3,000, and has a melting point of 60° C. and a density at 20° C. of about 1.15g/cc.
The fine particle size fillers which may be used in the blends of this invention are preferably selected from silica, titanium dioxide and diatomaceous earth or mixtures thereof. The preferred silica has a particle size of about 0.25 microns or less and is normally a precipitated silica. The preferred titanium dioxide has an average particle size of about 0.3 microns and the diatomaceous earth has an average particle size between about 1 and 10 microns depending on the particular grade used. The filler may be present in the blends at a concentration of from about 10 to about 30 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polymeric blend and preferably is present at 20 to 30 parts by weight. Mixtures of the fillers may also be used, especially of silica and titanium dioxide.
In the blends of this invention suitable for use as golf ball covers, the polymeric blend as hereinbefore described may be mixed with natural rubber in the proportion of polymeric blend about 80 parts by weight and natural rubber about 20 parts by weight. To this may, for example, be added about 5 to 25 parts by weight of titanium dioxide and about 2 to 10 parts by weight of zinc oxide. A suitable curing system may include about 0.5 to 1.5 parts by weight of elementary sulphur and optionally additional organo-sulphur compounds well known in the art as accelerators in amounts of about 0.1 to about 0.25 parts by weight. When formed over the core of the golf ball, such a cover may be cured, for example, by heating at about 100° F. [38° C.] for about 5 days. The art of curing golf ball covers containing trans-1,4-polyisoprene is well known in the industry.
It is surprising that the trans-1,4 polymer and the poly(epsilon-caprolactone) are compatible, that the blend is vulcanizable and that there appears to be a synergistic effect on the properties of the blends. It is especially surprising that a hydrocarbon polymer such as trans-1,4-polyisoprene should be compatible with a polar polymer such as poly(epsilon-caprolactone) and that the blend does not exhibit two separate phases, each phase having the melting point of the major component of that phase. The poly(epsilon-caprolactone) is very sticky above its melting point and cannot readily be handled at temperatures about 60° C., but when allowed to cool it hardens very rapidly and has a very short working time, eliminating any prolonged molding. On the other hand, trans-1,4-polyisoprene handles quite readily even at temperatures above about 65° C., the melting point of the crystals, and when allowed to cool hardens fairly slowly, thereby allowing a reasonable working time for molding. Additionally, the trans-1,4-polyisoprene retains its property of self adherence during the cooling stage and while it is workable, whereas the poly(epsilon-caprolactone) is not self adherent beyond its very short working time, which is a serious disadvantage in the preparation of medical casts. The blends of this invention exhibit a range of properties which permit them to be used in a wider range of end uses than is possible for either polymer in the blend or, alternatively, improves the suitability for certain end uses.
The invention is exemplified by the following examples wherein all parts are parts by weight unless otherwise specified.
The blends of composition shown in Table I were mixed in a Brabender mixer (Brabender is a registered Trade Mark) at 70° C. for 5 minutes, the rotor being operated at 160 rpm and the mixing chamber being kept under nitrogen. The trans-1,4-polyisoprene has a Mooney value (ML + 4 at 100° C.) of 64 and a crystallinity of about 27% when measured by an X-ray method at room temperature. The poly(epsilon-caprolactone) was too fluid at 100° C. for a Mooney measurement; the material was obtained from Union Carbide Corporation identified as PCL-700.
The properties of the blends that were measured were the Shore C Hardness, the melt flow index (ASTM-D-1238-65T at 100° C.), Mooney (ML 1 + 4 at 100° C.), stress-strain and the adherence to itself of the partially cooled blend.
Blend Nos. 1 and 5 are controls showing the properties of the trans-1,4-polyisoprene and of poly(epsilon-caprolactone).
Uses for trans-1,4-polyisoprene and for the blends of this invention require the polymer to possess a balance of various properties including flow, hardness and strength. The results in Table I show that the blends of this invention possess a suitable range of such properties depending on the composition of the blend.

The trans-1,4-polyisoprene and the blends of this invention exhibit a working time of about 4 to 5 minutes during which time the surface will readily adhere to itself when lightly contacted, whereas the poly(epsilon-caprolactone) exhibits a working time of only about 1 minute after which it does not exhibit self-adherence.
Blends were prepared of trans-1,4-polyisoprene, poly(epsilon-caprolactone) and fine particle silica available as Hisil 233 (Hisil is a registered Trade Mark). The amount of each component in the blends is shown in Table II. The mixing was done on a two-roll rubber mill, with the rolls maintained at about 70° C. for sufficient time to achieve good dispersion of all the components. The properties of the blends are shown in Table II, blend numbers 21, 24 and 27 being controls outside the scope of this invention.

Blends of trans-1,4-polyisoprene and poly(epsilon-caprolactone) were prepared and then further compounded and evaluated as golf ball covers. The blends were prepared, in the ratios shown in Table III, by mill mixing at about 70° C. Portions of each blend were then compounded, in the recipe shown in Table III under Compound composition, such as to be suitable for subsequent use as golf ball covers. The melt flow index and stress-strain characteristics were determined for these compounds. Samples of these compounds, in sheet form, were immersed in a 5 wt. % solution of dibutyl xanthogen disulphide in acetone for 10 minutes, removed, surface material shaken off and stored in an air chamber for 3 days at 45° C. in order to cause vulcanization to occur. The stress-strain properties of the vulcanizates were determined. Further samples of the compounds were molded over pre-formed wound golf ball centres to produce covered golf balls which were then vulcanized by the same immersion and storage procedure as above. The golf balls so produced were found to have good resilience, excellent click and excellent cut resistance.

We thought that talking like a slutty baby was exclusive to kinda-rapper/maybe-singer/autobot Ke$ha, whose girly warbling cornered the market when it comes to talking like a grown-up, sassy toddler going all "come hither."
But video from Lady Gaga's fashion shoot for V Magazine Japan has surfaced, and Gaga goes all goo goo, putting on that weird whisper that could easily be blamed on the time of the day (personally, I sound like Bea Arthur in the morning) (and you don't hear me complaining).
In fact, at the tail-end of the video, you'll even hear some lady say, "Aw, isn't she sweet?" as if Gagz just peed her metallic, rhinestone-encrusted diaper, which simply sends us over the edge [of glory] (psyche!).

Vince Young Isn't Sure If He Signed Off On A $1.9 Million Loan
There are different types of struggle when it comes to athletes. As we all know athletes are pretty far away from people the smartest people on planet earth and are terrible with managing their money.
Vince Young is a "C'mon man" struggle, and it's an ongoing thing. Apparently the fallen quarterback took out a $1.9 million during the NFL lockout, which he's disputing. Young's ridiculous defense is that he never read the documents for the loans.
He isn't even sure if he signed the papers: "All I know is I probably could have signed some of them, and I feel like some of them are fishy."
You'd figure someone would make such a mistake if $1.9 million was a small amount, which it would be if it was someone who was rich. You know, someone who is not Vince Young.
As for his reason for making such a mistake: "I went to sign some papers that my financial adviser asked me to go over and sign, but I don't remember what it was. I'd just go and sign and get out of there."
And people wonder why star athletes end up going broke, its because their stupid.

What is Elimination Communication?
If you're new to elimination communication, natural infant hygiene, infant pottying, pottying diaper-free babies, or infant potty training (whew!): Welcome! This page is the perfect place for you to learn the very simple basics about ECing your 0-18 month old baby. (19 months+? See our favorite non-coercive potty training resource.)
A Simple Definition of Elimination Communication
Here goes:
a gentle, non-coercive way to respond to
a baby's natural pottying needs, from birth,
which enables her to follow her instincts to not
soil herself, her caretaker, or her sleep space
In other words, babies are born ready. We just need to tune into what they're born asking for, provide it, stay in good communication, and roll with the evolution until our babies are totally potty independent. (Kinda like with eating and sleeping.)
To show you exactly how elimination communication works, I recommend you start by watching the video below. Here, Andrea explains what elimination communication is, how to know when a baby needs to pee, why a parent might choose EC, how to get support, how to start a practice if you wish, and what might get in your way….
An Introduction to Elimination Communication/
An Overview of Infant Potty Training
What Elimination Communication is NOT
Before moving on to how you can get started, her are some realistic expectations for you.
The Top 10 Things EC is NOT
1. EC is not about your baby…it's all about you, the parent. Your commitment (whether you do it full-time, part-time, or occasionally), consistency, and potty attitude determines your success. Finding balance within the practice is an art. EC is not "wired-in" to our modern brains. You will have to sit down and learn EC.
2. EC should not be started by "winging it." You can totally "wing it" off of free information from the internet, mommie blogs, and EC email lists…but be careful. Many of my clients are cleaning up giant messes that have resulted from winging it and wish they had started more solidly. Remember: any small baby will pee when in position and cued….is it EC…or is it beginner's luck?
3. EC doesn't happen overnight – it's a journey – but if you follow my steps your baby WILL be finished with diapers between 6 and 20 months versus the 36-38 month national US potty training average (depending on when you start and whether you follow my methods).
4. EC is not impossible. 1/2 the world is doing it right now! Before I tried it, it was just a dream of doing what indigenous folks do. It wasn't until I had my baby that I discovered that EC is totally real, it's totally awesome, and I want every other parent to experience it too.
5. EC is not hovering over your baby all day long, waiting for him to urinate. It is not watching the clock and asking him if he has to pee every 30 minutes! It is, however, responding to your baby's signals, being aware of his natural timing, and helping him go when the time comes.
6. EC is not coercive. It is not punitive. There should be no shaming, pressure, competition, showing off, or rushing the process. EC is completely in line with babies' natural interests, needs, capabilities, preferred hygiene, and general well-being.
7. EC is not "training" your baby. EC is listening to the signals your baby is already giving and helping her meet her instinctual needs for cleanliness and dryness.
8. EC is not "parent training." Little babies express their needs out of the innocence of having them and needing immediate help. Their communication is limited to preverbal means (crying, grunting, flailing). With EC, the parent simply responds to a baby's primal needs, such as with feeding and sleeping.
9. EC is not a chore…it's a lifestyle. It's not a fad…it's a totally different perspective, established in countless communities across the world for 100's of thousands of years.
10. EC is not fixing something that's broken (like diapering seems to be)…it's about not disturbing the natural process in the first place so that no fixing (conventional potty training) is necessary later.
Now that you're in the right mindset, here are a couple options:
If you'd like to start EC today, EC Simplified can help you start EC the right way, right away….or…if you would like to learn some more about EC, simply keep reading and absorb the goodness below!
The 4 Keys to Elimination Communication
The 4 Keys to Elimination Communication are basically the 4 events that lead to your baby's potty time:
- baby's signals
- baby's natural timing
- common potty timing
- your intuition
Learn how to dip into all 4 and within a month or two EC will become second nature. Focus on only one or two of these and in later months things might backfire.
It is best to familiarize yourself with all four and set a solid foundation! EC Simplified breaks down a little further exactly how to do this, with pretty flowcharts and easy-to-understand examples. Our mission is to make this seemingly obscure process…simpler.
Alternatives to Diapering and Doing Diaper-free Time
You can do Elimination Communication with or without a diaper as a "back-up." It's up to you! (Most people do use a diaper back-up until about 9-14 months, though…and there's a whole slew of options ranging from commando to tiny underwear to fully-diapered-whilst-still-communicating.)
Point is, if you choose to do EC, you will *absolutely* reduce the number of diapers you use, and thus positively impact your baby's well-being and the saving of our sacred environment.
And do we need to mention that this means less poop-scraping for you? Pretty cool.
It's important to note that having a "diaper-free" baby actually means having a baby who is "free from an exclusive dependence upon diapers." It doesn't mean having a naked feral baby peeing all over your floor (although if you really want to do this, who am I to stop you?) Anyway, a baby who is potty trained while naked is not a potty trained baby. We wear clothing in the Western world.
Carrying on….naked or modified diaper-free time is, indeed, *essential* during the observation periods at the beginning of your EC practice, and from there on out, diaper-free time can be good for your baby. Many do it 30 minutes a day, before the bath.
But as with everything in EC, you'll want to strike a balance and beware of overdoing naked diaper-free time. Be sure you know what you are teaching/conditioning your child to do. Teaching a babe to pee on the floor is just as bad as teaching her to pee in a diaper, in our opinion. EC Simplified can help you avoid both of these situations!
Andrea has authored a whole section about these topics, including lots of dummy-proof photographs, drawings, and simple charts, for those of you who want more information. Yay!
Types of EC and What to Expect
You can do Elimination Communication:
- full time
- part time (whether working outside the home or not!)
- occasionally
No matter how you do it, the key is to be consistent, committed, and have the right attitude. There are ways to do EC with your baby that don't confuse her and that help you maintain your usual family lifestyle. Anyone can do it.
A Note on Expectations
Although EC is about communication, not completion, you can generally expect a certain level of day/night dryness and potty reliability (ie: done with diapers) by 6-20 months, depending on when you start, how often you practice EC, whether you follow the instructions in the book and seek follow-up guidance in the private support group, and whether you follow the philosophy outlined in the book.
Where to Get Support
The world of Elimination Communication is chock-full of supportive community. So much that you could ask a question and get a dozen answers by the end of the day.
When you buy the book package, you get access to our private support group for life.

Recipe by Lisa Todd
"A friend gave me this recipe last Thanksgiving. Since then I have made it several times and everyone loves it! It's spicy hot flavor is a nice addition to any meal. Adjust the amount of peppers to taste."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 (8 ounce) packages
cream cheese
1 cup
5 (15 ounce) cans
white corn, drained
1 (12 ounce) jar
diced jalapeno peppers
This recipe - despite the few ingredients and ease of preparation - won the crowd over at our church potluck. I used frozen corn, fyi, and it was fine. Also, you really need to increase the cooking time. I cooked it for almost an hour until the top was lightly golden. Just keep an eye on it.
I would consider this a dip rather than a casserole because it was a bit soupy. I served it with tortilla chips. This dish had quite a bit of heat to it with the jalepenos (and I used less than recommended!) I backed off on the butter per other reviews and it still was a bit much. The butter wasn't absorbed and stayed on top making the dish look a bit greasy. I did melt some cheddar cheese on top to give it more of a solid look. I served this dish at a potluck and people generally liked it, but I did end up with left-overs.
38 Ratings
Everybody in my family LOVED this casserole(except my youngest daughter, but she's 12, what can you expect? Although she did say it was "OK") I substituted a 28 oz. bag of frozen corn for the canned corn and I cooked it in the crockpot for 5 hours on high instead of using the oven. I was nervous about using the crock pot but it came out "PERFECT". It starts out kind of "chunky looking" but ends up nice and creamy. I stirred it a few times, maybe once every hour. My dh was really mad at me at first that I was trying a "NEW" recipe on Thanksgiving,especially because he really loved my old corn casserole recipe, but he said he likes this one even better. I said, "See? You'll just have to trust me. I know what I'm doing. I'm a professional!" This recipe satisfies all three of my requirements, 1) It's inexpensive, 2) It's easy 3) It's absolutely delicious!
Sorry, I managed to change four things in a four-ingredient recipe, which I have to admit is terrible. But I liked the basic idea so this is what I ended up with - and what got very good feedback from my guests:
I halved the amount of cream cheese and butter, used yellow kernel corn (only 4 cans, though) and substituted 1 diced green bell pepper for the jalapenos. And last but not least: a little bit salt and pepper doesn't hurt this recipe, so I added to taste. This served easy 12 people as a side dish, even though everybody liked it a lot. And it was creamy enough - I'm happy that I didn't drown it in the amount of butter that the recipe asks for.
This is BY FAR the best corn casserole recipe on this site...or anywhere! My family begs me to make it for every holiday. Not only is it ridiculously quick and easy but it tastes unbelievable. My only comment is to beware of the type of jalepenos used. The amount called for in the recipe is perfect if you use the mild pickled jalepenos in a jar. If you use regular canned jalepenos you are in for some serious heat!
Very Good !!! I could not bring myself to use an entire cup of butter though. I only used half a stick and also added a little grated cheddar and was very happy with the results.
My sister made this Christmas and used it as a dip with scoops corn chips, a big hit!
I used fresh corn cut off the cob - you could use a more mild green chile - frozen corn would work too. Not diet friendly but oh so good!

HISTORY OF SCIENCE - Coming to WSKG TV in August 2012
What's out there? Where did we come from? What are we made of? What's the secret of life? Can we have unlimited power? Who are we? HISTORY OF SCIENCE tells the thrilling story of how science has shaped our lives.

What Is the Secret of Life?
Sunday, September 9th at 8:00pm
Who Are We?
Every moment of every day we live in a world created by science. But the story of how we got here is much more than the simple tale of breakthroughs, genius and men jumping out of baths shouting "Eureka!" HISTORY OF SCIENCE shows how the political upheavals of history combine with iconic inventions and discoveries, along with the ideas of great thinkers, to create the advances that have transformed our lives.
Each episode starts with a disarmingly simple question that everyone asks, and then delves into the past, uncovering human stories and recreating the great experiments of the men and women who sought the answers and, in doing so, changed the world.
Discover how science has found out what we are made of; where we came from; and what exists beyond Earth. Find out how science revealed the hidden secrets of nature; how it provided the force to topple kings and emperors; and how it unleashed untold power from within our planet. It's the story of how history made science, and science made history, and how the ideas that emerged made the modern world.
What is Out There?
We begin with the story of one of the great upheavals in human history – how we came to understand that our planet was not at the centre of everything in the cosmos, but just one of billions of bodies in a vast and expanding universe. It includes the critical role of medieval astrologers in changing our view of the heavens, and the surprising connections to the upheavals of the Renaissance, the growth of coffee shops and Californian oil and railway barons.
What is the World Made Of?
Our society is built on the search to find the answer to what makes up everything in the material world. This is a story that moves from the secret labs of the alchemists and their search for gold to the creation of the world's first synthetic dye – mauve – and onto the invention of the transistor.
How Did We Get Here?
The question of our human origins is one of the most controversial science has wrestled with. This is the story of how scientists came to explain the beauty and diversity of life on earth, and we reveal how its evolution is connected to the long and violent history of our planet.
Can We Have Unlimited Power?
We are the most power-hungry generation that has ever lived. Explore how that power has been harnessed – from wind, steam and from inside the atom. It has taken centuries for science to explain what power is, rather than simply what it does.
What is the Secret of Life?
This is the story of how the secret of life has been examined through the prism of the most complex organism known – the human body. It begins with attempts to save the lives of gladiators in Ancient Rome and unfolds all the way through to the microscopic world of cells and DNA.
Who Are We?
We now know that the brain – the organ that more than any other makes us human – is one of the wonders of the universe, and yet until the 17th century it was barely studied. The twin sciences of brain anatomy and psychology have offered different visions of who we are.

Charleston police are investigating a shooting that left one person wounded.
Shots were fired in the area of Rutledge Avenue and Huger Street around 12:15 a.m., police said. An officer heard as many as eight gunshots but found no sign of suspicious activity, according to an incident report.
About 15 minutes later, more shots were reported by a woman who told a dispatcher someone had run through her yard on Huger Street, police said.
An officer found a crowd had gathered in the area and spotted a man clutching his left side, a report stated.
Antwan Earl Johnson, 28, of Romney Street had been shot twice in the area under his left arm, with both rounds passing through his body before exiting, a police report stated.
"That boy, he shoot me," Johnston is quoted in the report as saying. "They shoot me and ran."
Johnson, however, told officers he didn't know who shot him or why, police said.
He was transported to Medical University Hospital for treatment following the incident, police said.
Detectives are gathering information regarding possible suspects, but no arrests have been made, police spokesman Charles Francis said.

In this issue:
Alison Robertson, Department of Plant Pathology, and Erika Saalau-Rojas, Plant and Insect Diagnostic ClinicWithin the past week, we have had several reports of corn seedlings with symptoms of post emergent damping off from a few fields in southern Iowa that were planted in early May.Diseased corn seedlings received at the ISU Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic (PIDC) were stunted, compared to health seedlings from the same field (Figure 1), and the mesocotyl was rotted (Figure 2). Affected seedlings occurred in areas of the field where the soil was heavier and consequently wetter (Figure 3).Survival of young corn seedlings depends on a healthy kernel and mesocotyl which should remain firm and white through at least growth stage V6. Damage to the kernel or mesocotyl prior to establishment of the nodal root system can result in stunted, weak or dead seedlings. A developing corn seedling relies on the kernel endosperm for nourishment until the nodal root system has fully developed, usually around the 6-leaf stage. Thus the mesocotyl acts as the "pipeline" for translocation of nutrients from the kernel and seminal roots to the seedling stalk and leaf tissues. Rotted seedlings can be the result of pathogen infections, anhydrous ammonia injury, wireworms and cold injury. Seedling susceptibility to fungal infection increases the longer the seed sits in the ground, and the more stress germinating corn undergoes. Wet and cool (less than 55 F) soil conditions predispose seedlings to infection by a number of fungi. We isolated Pythium and Fusarium from the diseased seedlings we received. It is difficult to determine "who got their first". We suspect Pythium, since the heavier areas of the field were more affected, and we have had periods of cool, very wet conditions this spring. Cool, saturated soil conditions favor infection by this pathogen. There are several species of both Pythium and Fusarium that infect corn and soybeans. Recent work from Ohio has shown that sensitivity to fungicides used as seed treatments may vary within, and across species of Pythium and F. graminearum.
Dig up smaller seedlings and check for symptoms of seedling disease. This will also give you an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of the seed treatment that was applied to the seed planted. If you have significant seedling rot, you may have to replant. For replant decisions, please see Roger Elmore and Lori Abendroth's article on "Assessing corn stands for replanting".

By Roger Elmore, Department of AgronomyCorn progress is back on track thanks to recent warm weather. This is indicated by heat unit accumulation for May 1 planting dates hovering slightly above average (107 percent of average statewide). Corn development across the state ranges from about V2 to V9 (second to ninth leaf stages) thanks to the wide range of planting dates this year. And then thunderstorms hit on June 9 and pounded the corn; some of the thunderstorms were accompanied by severe hail. Plant growing points are still underground for corn plants at V6 (sixth leaf stage) and younger. This fact helps the plants survive early-season hail events even if the leaves are totally destroyed. Be patient if your field has hail damage. The short-term weather forecast for warm and sunny weather plus the moisture received from the storms should encourage rapid and healthy regrowth. Plants V6 and younger should survive. Assess more developed plants carefully. The following links provide more detailed information:
Be aware that hail industry corn staging systems differ from the leaf collar system most University Extension and researchers use. Table 2 in the Corn Growth and Development publication provides a comparison. (Click this to order publication on corn growth and development.) In brief, the 'horizontal leaf' method used by the hail industry is about one to two stages ahead of the leaf collar system from V2 to V8. That means a V8 plant in the leaf collar system is similar to a V10 plant in the horizontal leaf system. This is important when you use tables like those included in the University of Nebraska publication referenced above. For more information other corn issues, see our ISU Extension Corn Production website. Look in the 'Image Gallery" under 'Crop Diagnostics' for images of damaged corn from previous hail events.

Fiorentina boss Sinisa Mihajlovic admits the club's summer transfer policy is undecided at present. "It depends on who stays and who goes…"
The Viola are expected to shake things up over the summer after a problematic campaign at the Stadio Franchi.
However, when asked which area of his squad needed more work, the former Lazio stopper admitted it was too soon to say with any confidence.
"I don't know if we'll have to work harder in defence, midfield or attack," the man who replaced Cesare Prandelli noted.
"A lot will depend on which players stay and on which players will be leaving us at the end of the season."
The Tuscan giants have numerous individuals on their books who are said to be on their way out once the campaign ends.
They include captain Riccardo Montolivo, goalkeeper Sebastien Frey, striker Alberto Gilardino, winger Mario Alberto Santana and the enigmatic Adrian Mutu.
There are also question marks over the future of Marco Donadel and Gianluca Comotto.

UT Softball Stars Look for Repeat of Winning Season
Published: Apr 8, 2009
A single win was all that separated the University of Tampa softball team from a chance to participate in the NCAA II national tournament last year. After seven scoreless innings against Barry University in the regional championship, two runs by the opposing team cut short the Spartans' run.
This year, two of the team's star players, pitcher
Deanne Henriott
, and second-baseman
Ashley Arcuri
, say the team is eager to repeat their performance, and perhaps go even further.
"I think our team this year has a great chance of going to regionals," Henriott said. "We are defensively and offensively strong. I really think we have a chance to go far in our season."
Henriott leads the team as the pitcher who set a stunning record of 251 strikeouts last season. As a freshman, she set the record for the most strikeouts in a single game, which she has already eclipsed with 18 this season, and became the first freshman to throw a no-hitter.
A sophomore, Henriott originally planned to get a degree in nursing, but switched to a major in elementary education after her freshman year. A St. Petersburg, FL, native, she chose to attend UT because of its proximity to her home and small class sizes.
Fate and family were what led Arcuri, a senior, to UT after playing for the softball team at Auburn University her freshman and sophomore years. The star hitter and second-base player originally had plans to transfer to the University of Central Florida, when an accident aboard a flight she took to the Bahamas made her decide to stay near her family in Tampa. An engine of the small plane in which Arcuri was flying caught fire during the middle of the flight, forcing an emergency landing.
"That was when I realized my priorities, which are to be with my family," Arcuri said. "Life is short, and I decided to come to UT instead because I have the best of both worlds – my family in town and still playing softball."
Arcuri led the team at the plate with a .336 batting average and a total of 51 hits. A sport management major, she has worked part-time as a hitting coach for youth softball players – a job she hopes to do full-time upon graduation. She has also completed an internship in sports marketing through the UT athletics department doing promotions for various athletic events.
Along with Henriott, Arcuri was named an all-Sunshine State Conference player in the 2008 season following the team's impressive performance.
"This season we are taking care of business for the most part," Arcuri said. "We have some really tough games coming up, but we are working hard at practice and expect to play to our potential. I believe we have the best team, player for player, in the nation."
The Spartans (currently 24-6, 11-2 SSC) play Barry and Rollins back-to-back April 9-19 before finishing the regular season with Florida Southern. After that, they intend to compete in the NCAA South Regional on May 9.

The Pinewood girls placed third in a field of 49 teams and the boys placed 15th beating local rival Porter-Gaud. Many Personal Records were set and multiple athletes recorded a Season Best time.
Two school records were broken. Eighth-grader Maryah Nasir and senior Mason Hazel broke their own school records, finishing with times of 18:18 and 16:22 respectively. Nasir placed second in the girls' varsity race and Hazel finished 15th in the boys' varsity race.
Pinewood Girls' Low Country Invitational Results: Maryah Nasir (18:18), Emily Shuler (19:39.3) PR, Megan Kuhn (19:40.9) PR, Isabelle Greenstreet (19:46.2) SB, Sallie Limehouse (20:58) PR, Kasey Grossman (21:03) SB, Seleste Franklin (21:56.5) PR, Taylor Strickland (22:29) SB, Mia Dunn (22:59.9) PR, Amelia Kassing (23:34) SB, Kaley Katsanis (23:49.6) PR, Selina Franklin (25:46) and Perry Strickland (26:27) PR.

"We really enjoy the atmosphere of this event and the kids have a little fun with it. The course is one of the toughest on the East Coast and many top teams from out of state attend."
Mason Hazel finished seventh overall with a time of 16:48 to garner a medal in the boys' blue race.
Sophomore Katie Black ran a season-best time of 19:49. She led the Varsity A squad in the very competitive Race of Champions.

Panel Says Pesticide Testing on Humans Is Ethical
The issue of human testing has been hotly debated in recent years. In 1996, Congress passed the Food Quality and Protection Act, which tightened safety standards on pesticides. Some chemical manufacturers were critical of the new standards and sponsored or conducted clinical trials to assess human risk from exposure to pesticides and submitted the results to the agency for consideration. In response, an outcry arose from public health and environmental advocates, who urged EPA to reject the results.
In 1998, EPA announced that it would not use the human test studies to inform its policy-making until "many ethical and scientific issues had been resolved." Later, a majority of a joint subcommittee of EPA's Science Advisory Board and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act Scientific Advisory Panel concluded that human dosing studies could be ethically and scientifically justified under certain circumstances, subject to stringent conditions and oversight. EPA sought a broader scientific review from the National Academies, whose National Research Council released "Intentional Human Dosing Studies for EPA Regulatory Purposes" on February 19.
There are major
discrepancies in the report. "The Academy report calls for the
highest ethical and scientific standards, but undermines its own recommendations
by making the appalling suggestion that it is okay to experiment with
toxins on kids," said Erik D. Olson, a senior attorney at Natural
Resources Defense Council (NRDC). "The report also shockingly says
that federal agencies should accept the results of old, ethically questionable
experiments with toxic chemicals on people unless there is 'clear and
convincing evidence' that they were intended to hurt people or were
otherwise absurdly unethical. We thought that these issues were resolved
50 years ago after the Nuremberg trials, but the chemical industry continues
its campaign to make it acceptable to use human guinea pigs to maximize
their profits. Shame on them."
Beyond concerns in extrapolation is the controversial question of the ethicality of testing hazardous substances on humans. Codes of medical ethics were specifically designed to prevent potentially harmful experiments from being performed on humans. Studies using humans as test subjects "do harm" by the nature of the tests. Pesticides are proven poisons used to kill insects, plants diseases, weeds, rodents, and germs, and administering these toxic materials to people, as part of a controlled experiment, is a practice that can only do harm to the test subjects involved. Regardless of the results, participants are dosed with highly toxic chemicals; there are no possible health benefits to the human test subjects from being exposed to specifically designed poisons.
TAKE ACTION: Contact Mr. Michael Leavitt Leavitt, EPA Administrator, by email, phone: 202-564-4711, or fax: 202-501-1470 to urge EPA to reject pesticide testing on humans. For more information, read Beyond Pesticides' comments to EPA regarding human testing.

Hotel: An American History (Yale University Press)
By A.K. Sandoval-Strausz
In his exhaustively researched Hotel: An American History, A.K. Sandoval-Strausz associates the creation of the American hotel with our first president's tours to the 13 states in 1789-1791. To avoid the appearance of political favoritism, Washington chose not to stay in private homes during his tours, instead using the sparsely available and highly variable inns then on offer. In due course, such ad hoc inns were uprooted by purpose-built hotels. Moreover, as modes of transportation expanded, the American hotel emerged as "architecturally, socially, and politically distinct from travel accommodation elsewhere in the modern world," ultimately emulated worldwide.
That the research included here does not fully support such a claim of distinction—a shortcoming the author concedes—is forgivable and perhaps beside the point only because there's so much other interesting detail. Up-market hotel menus, for example, which in mid-19th-century Boston read like koans: "beef," "chicken," "veal," and "tongue," hold the adjectives, adverbs, red-wine reduction, confit, and watercress. Of greater significance is Sandoval-Strausz's chapter on innkeeper common law, which established the legal aspects of hotel hospitality and formed a significant hurdle to racial integration.
The chapter entitled "Unruly Guests and Anxious Hosts: Sex, Theft, and Violence," offers a distracting helping of the prurient. Suffice to say that nothing has changed since the hotel's inception—the crimes, drama, and characters could all be drawn from today's headlines. In that respect, the hotel has served as a model of American urban life, what Sandoval-Strausz calls a "patterning device, an institution in which people developed expectations and behaviors appropriate to new modes of city living."

SO GOOD! I did not have blue cheese dressing on hand, so I used ranch (1/2 cup was plenty), and just added some crumbled blue cheese...perfect! I also did not add the salt, as I felt it did not need it, so taste it first and go from there. This was a HUGE hit at dinner tonight and a definite keeper~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)
