Herd wins C-USA softball title
TULSA, Okla. -- After being so close last season, Marshall University pitcher Andi Williamson wasn't going to let a chance at the NCAAs slip through her fingers once again.
Williamson repeatedly got out of jams and used a 1-2-3 inning in the seventh inning -- her only 1-2-3 inning of the game -- to give Marshall a 3-1 win over Houston in the Conference USA softball championship Saturday at Collins Family Softball Complex.
Marshall lost to Tulsa in the 2012 championship game.
"We wouldn't have been satisfied with being runner-up again," Williamson said. "Since the beginning of the year, we said we want to be the best team in Marshall history. Everyone has worked so hard. We had that bitterness (of last year) plus that hunger and it really paid off."
Marshall (35-20) will advance to the NCAA Championships for the first time in school history. The NCAA Selection Show is scheduled for Sunday at 10 p.m. on ESPNU.
Thundering Herd head coach Shonda Stanton said the win was not just for this year's team, but for every team that's taken the field and represented the school.
"This is for all of the girls who have ever worn the green and white," Stanton said. "This is our twentieth anniversary of Marshall softball. We have so many special people, and I am so proud of the way our student-athletes represented today."
Last season, Marshall's team gathered in its locker room at Dot Hicks Field, only to hear five other C-USA teams get their name called as part of the NCAA tournament field while they learned their season was over.
That won't happen this time.
"It's a lot better than last year because last year was uncertain and we never heard our name," Williamson said. "It's exciting to know we are going to go somewhere. I'm just excited to be going."
Williamson allowed just four hits in seven innings and one unearned run while walking two and striking out four. She got stronger as the game went on, looking dominant in the sixth and seventh innings.
Marshall's run production in the championship came from some unfamiliar heroes at the bottom of the lineup.
A key insurance run came across the plate in the bottom of the fourth inning when pinch-hitter Alex Bayne stepped up and delivered an RBI double to score Bri Anna Hope and set the final score.
It was all Williamson would need as she allowed just a lone single in the final 10 batters to set off the Herd celebration.
Marshall never trailed in the contest, getting a pair of runs in the second inning following a double by Katalin Lucas to take a 2-0 lead.
The relay throw from Houston's Kayla Holland went into the Marshall dugout allowing pinch-runner Kristina Braxton and Lucas to both score.
Houston (40-18) cut the lead to one run on an RBI single by Haley Outon which scored Katie St. Pierre, who had reached second on a throwing error following her infield single.
The Herd certainly could've made things easier on itself in the game. Marshall stranded 10 runners in the game and committed three errors -- one of which led to the Cougars' lone run.
Houston had the leadoff runner on base in each inning from the second to fifth and three of those innings started with a leadoff runner in scoring position -- two of those instances from errors.
At each turn, Williamson got critical outs to shut the door.
"I just tried to not think about it," Williamson said. "Batters get on base. It's part of the game. If they got on, we just moved on to the next batter."
Jazmine Valle finished 2-for-2 for Marshall while Lucas was 2-for-3 with the critical double.

#whateverworks: A Common Catchphrase In Parenting
Saturday, February 16th, 2013
2 years, 3 months.
Dear Jack,
I recently explained to you how I now have to let Mommy drive while I sit in the backseat with you, to keep you from being anxious and needy, since Mommy is the nurturer and I'm the entertainer.
That's one of those things I have to file in the "whatever works" category.
Or, to translate that into the language of Twitter:
It goes without saying that as a parent, "whatever works" is a catchphrase that I seem to mumble on a daily basis.
In addition to having to change the seating arrangements for our family car rides, we have also had to change our morning routine.
Mommy arranged it with her boss to show up 15 minutes early for work and leave 15 minutes early, too.
This way, Mommy leaves the house 15 minutes before we do, because here recently you put up less of a fight if I'm the one who gets you ready.
It may have something to do with what I just mentioned a minute ago; that I am not the nurturer so you have lower expectations with me. So Mommy and I use that to our advantage.
Our new morning routine also allows more quality time with you and Mommy; the two of you share breakfast together while I shower and get ready.
Since making this our new norm, we no longer leave the house stressed or in a hurry. That's all it took; we just couldn't all three leave at the same time.
We are so focused on finding ways to improve quality time together as a family. Sometimes, we have recognized that by assigning certain daily activities to one particular parent, it can improve quality time for two of us at a time.
It's sort of like working the "3rd wheel" concept to our advantage. Our model is this: Two wheels in the back and one in the front.
As a family, we often have to move and work like a tricycle.
Hey, whatever works.

For a moment, it looked like Alexandre Burrows' incredible story was going to have another amazing chapter. In Canada's must-win quarter-final against Slovakia, Burrows scored his third goal of the tournament, putting Canada up 3-2. It looked like it might stand up as the game winner and carry Canada to the semi-final.
Instead, a series of poor decisions cost Canada the lead, then cost Canada the game.Continue Reading —›

The name of Arkema Beijing Chemical has been changed to PMC Beijing Chemicals. Arkema, in 2012, announced the sale of its global tin stabilizer business to PMC.

The term carries a doomsday tone. And Thursday's vote by the Democratic Senate to impose the "nuclear option" as a way around Republican blocking of judicial nominees is another sad sign of mutually assured bipartisanship destruction in Washington.
Beyond the complexities of Senate rules, and the debates over what is and isn't constitutional, lies a blatantly self-serving shift in judgment.
Thursday's legislative power grab erased the ability of the minority party — at this point, the GOP — to threaten a filibuster on court appointments that didn't get 60 affirmative votes. Now only a simple majority will be needed.
The margin to make that fundamental change also required just a simple majority — 52-48. Three Democrats (Michigan's Carl Levin, West Virginia's Joe Manchin, Arkansas' Mark Pryor) joined all 45 Republicans voting against it.
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., offered this shaky justification: "The gridlock has consequences. It's not only bad for President Obama, bad for this body, the United States Senate, it's bad for our country."
President Obama predictably hailed the outcome, arguing of the GOP's judicial-nominee approach: "This isn't obstruction on substance, on qualifications. It's just to gum up the works."
But in 2005, when Republicans held the Senate majority, then-Sen. Obama defended the filibuster option, telling the National Press Club: "You know, the Founders designed this system, as frustrating it is, to make sure that there's a broad consensus before the country moves forward,"
Also in 2005, then-Minority Leader Reid decried GOP threats to go nuclear to break Democrats' extended delays of court appointments from President George W. Bush. Sen. Reid warned on the Senate floor: "Violating 217 years of standard procedure in the Senate, changing the rules by breaking the rules, is about as far as you could get from a constitutional option."
Yes, most GOP senators have undergone a filibuster-attitude adjustment of their own since Democrats took over the chamber — and the White House. Many who once favored the nuclear solution now condemn it as a flagrant end run around the Senate's time-tested traditions.
However, in 2005, seven Republican senators, including South Carolina's Lindsey Graham, acted as voices of reason by teaming up with seven Democrats to craft a "Gang of 14" compromise to advance judicial nominations.
Unfortunately, Thursday's filibuster buster was only the latest example of Washington politicians' inability to meet in the middle.
And even those who find fault with Republican foot-dragging on judicial nominations should be troubled by the ominously named nuclear option.
Sen. Reid put it well eight years ago when Republicans considered that nuclear blow to the Senate's "deliberative body" essence: "Ultimately, this is about removing the last check in Washington against complete abuse of power, the right to extended debate."
And ultimately, the nuclear option is bound to spread divisive fallout on Capitol Hill.

Full detailed profile on Molly Conlan Played by Lesli Kay on As the World Turns Daytime Soap Opera.
Lesli Kay as Molly Conlan
Birthday: June 13 1965
Parker goes to get Faith on the porch. She accuses him of trying to avoid her. He claims he's just being careful. Molly comes out and tells them Holden will be delayed. She walks off and Faith guesses there is trouble. Molly stands by the window and listens as everyone discusses the plane delays. Reid walks out to her and begins talking about the hypocrisy of the people in town. He tells her that nothing is forever and people move on. They go inside and Molly says they should do things in reverse and open up the cider. Lily makes a toast to 'coping'. Holden calls Jack to say that they will be stuck for a couple of hours. Carly takes him aside and says they need to put off ruining Molly's day as long as possible.
Holden and Molly wander around Old Town and talk about how she flubbed her lines at the dress rehearsal. They make out until Abigail interrupts them. When Molly leaves to check on her dress, Abigail asks her dad how Lily is taking the wedding. He changes the topic.
Jack and Carly arrive at Metro for the rehearsal dinner. Jack toasts to the bride and groom. Abigail takes out a poem and her mom starts to cry. As she reads it, Lily walks in. She stays at the back and listens until Carly spots her and ushers her into a corner. Lily tells her about the latest disaster and says she's heading to France to sort it out. When Carly asks her about Craig, Lily gets defensive until Holden approaches and asks what she's doing there. She assures him she's not there to cause trouble and asks him to tell Molly she's beautiful.
Faith arrives at Carly's for the shower. She checks in with her mother. Lily is looking at old photos. Molly joins them. Janet arrives and joins Carly in the kitchen to apologize for their situation. Carly begins to probe about Dusty and Janet complains about how overprotective he is. Carly knows the feeling but tells her to embrace Dusty and his paranoia. They re-join the guests and talk wedding plans. Faith starts to worry as her mom gets rapidly tanked. Carly tries to break the tension and they begin opening presents. Lily slips out. Her daughter trails after her but Lily sends her back inside and then leaves her gift on the doorstep. Inside, Faith is surprised to notice her mom has vanished and leaves to call her dad about it.
Back at the shower, Carly worries about Lily and Molly wonders why her party is all about Lily. Holden arrives and tells her that he saw Lily and she ran off upset. Carly pouts. Holden tells Molly that Lily won't be at the wedding. She thinks that's probably for the best.
Holden and Molly discuss their vows over coffee at Java. While Holden is getting a refill, Molly reads Holden's vows. He admits they were his vows to Lily. Molly wonders why he would reuse his vows. Holden claims he was afraid he would accidentally say a phrase he said before to Lily. Molly buys his excuse and kisses him.
Molly goes to see a priest. She asks him why she has a horrible feeling in the pit of her stomach. She talks about Holden's vows and worries that Lily will always be between them. The priest thinks she should trust that he chose her, not Lily.
Holden stops by Carly's house with supplies for Molly's bridal shower. He asks if she is okay being in the wedding and being so close to Lily. Carly admits she is worried that Lily is going to get hurt by Craig. Holden admits he doesn't like it, but he is about to marry Molly and she is his focus. Molly arrives and wonders what they are discussing. Carly tries to lie, but Holden admits that they were discussing Lily and Craig. He then tells Molly she looks amazing and kisses her. Molly tells Carly to act like she is on her side and reminds her that they are family. Molly orders Carly to keep her mouth shut! Jack arrives with Janet's food contribution. Carly and Jack go to prepare the food. Molly admits to Holden that she was feeling shaken about his vows to Lily and went to see a priest. Holden is happy the visit made her feel better.
Molly and Holden are shopping at Fashions for the wedding. After he sends her off to pick up some pumps, Lily and Faith arrive. Things are awkward. They convince Holden to stick around and see Faith's dress. When she slips off to try it on, Holden and Lily begin bickering about Craig. She assures him that she can take care of herself and he's forfeited the right to have a say in her life. Faith comes out in her dress and they tell her she's beautiful. Lily turns away and sobs. She and Holden are upset to see their little girl all grown up. Lily's just realized that this wedding is for real. Molly rushes back and interrupts their sentimental moment. Lily runs off.
Molly and Holden go to talk to the clergyman about their wedding. He talks about his last marriage and how it ended. He admits that part of him will always love Lily but their relationship is over. After the reverend goes off to finalize some details, the couple talks about their history and he says the past is just the beginning.

The American pika, a small, herbivorous, conspicuously cute mammal related to rabbits, is extra sensitive to climatic changes. Warmer temperatures threaten pikas by shortening the period available for them to gather food, altering plant populations where they feed and reducing insulating snowpack that protects them from cold snaps. Warming can also cause pikas to die from overheating.
Building on a recently completed five-year U.S. Geological Survey project that examined effects of climate shifts on the pika across the Sierra Nevada, this project will fill a critical information gap by determining the availability of the pika's food resources in Yosemite.
In addition to helping protect the precious pika, this project will give park scientists a better understanding of climate-change effects on Yosemite's alpine ecosystems, promote science communication and inform park-management decisions.

I don't care about frame rate, just want to see the pretty graphics. I love eye candy. I wish Matrox didn't get all butt hurt because nVidia cards could run it (thats the only reason they took it down, right?). I mean, I can run ATi demos on my card and ATi hasn't taken them down because of that, why does matrox have to get all pissy?

Gearing Up for Scotland Trip, 3.0
I have lived a fairly interesting golf life, if you don't mind me saying so myself. In the United States, I've never played a top-100 golf course, with the closest coming either with Troon North (which is top-100 of courses you can play) or the Ocean Course at Olympic Club (not the one that has hosted U.S. Opens).
Across the pond, however, I've had a ton of experience with world famous golf courses, playing St. Andrews a handful of times, Carnoustie, Turnberry, Prestwick and even Kingsbarns and most of the other courses around St. Andrews.
Next week, my dad and I will again setting in to that long flight for another chance at dominating the Scottish terrain.
Our plans are simple -- play as much golf in five days as possible. We land in Edinburgh and plan to drive up to Cruden Bay and Royal Aberdeen. After playing both courses, we will venture down to St. Andrews to give the Old Course another shot, along with my first test of the Castle Course and possibly another go at Carnoustie (I played really well up until 17 and 18, where I made Jean Van de Velde look like Jack Nicklaus).
We are staying strictly east coast this time, and are still trying (cross those fingers) to get a guest spot on Muirfield.
Anyway, just wanted to update you on the travels. I will be Twittering on the trip and plan to stick some photos and such here for all to see. The last time I played the Old Course I shot even-par 72, so my goal is to better that by a couple of shots, and hopefully (hopefully) break 70.
I've got my Gustbuster umbrella (a must if you're going to Scotland), my Footjoy rain gear, a new set of irons and some Vokey wedges heading my way, so hopefully the equipment part is good to go.

Sounds like another trip-of-a-lifetime for you, and all the better that you and your Dad are going. Trust me on this, the day is not long coming when those memories will be among the most precious jewels you treasure.
Hit 'em well, and enjoy every second, Shane.

I expect big things from this guy but he needs to learn that hes wearing a Giants uniform now and we don't do much talking. Leave the talking to The Jets and Eagles, lets get to work. You have to prove it before your allowed to make comments like that. Tuck and Jacobs use to always say how much they hated them and I LOVE IT but those guys are SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS Martellus you have to actually produce before you can start talking out of line.
We'll see.This guy has all the measurables.Its crazy how much more weight he looks like he can carry and he already weighs 260+.Lets just hope with our great TE coaching we can get him going.
Im only letting Osi go for a 2nd rounder at least 10 picks ahead of ours.Osi is to valuable to us and his cap number is small AND its his final year so he will be even nastier on the field.
P.S MG if Reese likes Tackles that still need work physically and technically but have great footwork then he needs a new strategy because from the looks of the guys hes drafted at that position havent really dont the job but what do I know 'IN REESE WE TRUST'!!!!
I dream for Kendall Wright,Ouentin Coples or Dontari Poe to drop past 25 at least to make it interesting or make it to 32 which would just be incredible.I think theres no one at 32 that really grabs the Giants attention and they trade back.
from reading the comments on here Riley Reiff dropping to 32 would be amazing,Coples at 32 is scary to have him learning from all our DE's and I read someone say they want a missile that sheds blockers violently and thats Don'ta Hightower.The man is massive hes almost as big as Justin Tuck but runs a 4.5-4.6 high football IQ our blitzes and run defense would be sick with a 260lb LBer in the middle whos known for being a film room junkie.
After reading what Reese said today just made me more confident about my analysis of the draft.I think theres a bunch of good players that are going to go ahead of the Giants and the players left after about pick 20 can go anywhere from 20 to almost 40 I've seen players like Michael Brockers be mocked at 15 and also mid 2nd round.I dont think the Giants are getting great value at 32.At the end of the first-top of 2nd your going to see a lot of "NEED" picks because your not really getting anyone thats that much better of a prospect than the other like Reese said theres just a block of prospects that have the same value might as well take one at a position of need.Dont get me wrong in that block theres a few players I have my eye on because they have a higher "floor" then others so maybe they can help early say Don'ta Hightower.I think the Giants look to trade back first.The only way the Giants move up is if someone drops and they find a way to keep there picks but just move Osi and swap 1st rounders and I think theres a SMALL SMALL almost 0% chance the Giants trade picks to move up thats not their style but never say never because if the football gods give Trent Richardson the treatment Mark Ingram got last year and I was Reese I would jump all over Richardson.Go Giants and as we've learned over the years in Reese we Trust the man has this draft thing under control.
I want to see the Giants board of top free agents so I know they AT LEAST had a good plan but they have no money to do anything so I dont expect much.
If we had money I wouldve love to take a look at Eric Winston,Carl Nicks,Martellus Bennett,Robert Meachem,Curtis Lofton,Michael Bush,Stephen Tulloch I have a few other in mind but its just a waste of time No Money No Honey.
remember 2007 they lost alot of money and it didnt effect anything
tell your friend maybe he forgot about the superbowl we won 4 seasons ago? Vegas lost the most money ever and it didnt seem to effect the games outcome.Life most really suck for him if hes like that about everything.Imagine if I never believed in anything and always thought the worst or if i thought everything was conspiracy.Somethings you cant help but to question but not everything.
#ALLIN Go Giants!!!!!
Yes sir! Go Ballard, GO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!
As much as I like and respect Fewell for what hes done with the Defense with all the MAJOR injuries hes had to deal,I really would love to see Spags back.I think if St.Louis loses out hes going to be out and I really hope we bring him back.Spags just pressed all the right buttons and had our defense playing at a high level.
I really hope we dont change up the line.We made that mistake last year when we had really got everything going and then we put O'hara back in after being out for so long and it all went down hill from there.We have struggled running this year so now that we really got something going I hope we stick with it.Booth and Petrus are only going to get better.
I want Spags like crazy but I see a monster 3-4 Defense brewing. JPP and Kiwanuka at OLB would be crazy! I know we need a NT but I think we have LB's that would fit very well in a 3-4.Besides that Spags would be my very first pick if possible he just knew all the right buttons to press for this team.
Yes exactly! thats my dream.If Coughlin stays I want Spags to be the Assistant HC/D Coordinator.
Rolle is a leader and hes not going to let any one outside the locker room bring them down so he'll puff up his chest,stand up for his team and take all the criticism.All I know that this year the only times hes said any guarantees was before the game in philly and the game in new england and we went out and won both games.
So just in case we don't make the playoffs again this year and Coughlin gets the boot or retires whatever. What do you guys think about bringing Spags in if he gets fired? I think Spags can get this defense back to where it needs to.I think Spags should've never gotten away. Hes a LB coach so he can help our weakest link which has a lot of young talent and also just get the rest of the defense playing like it was 2007-2008 all over again.Honestly other then him I would like maybe Jeff Fisher because hes teams were always mentally tough but Cohwer scares me.That's a lot of time away from the game and I don't see the Giants front office signing any up and coming coordinators to take over.My votes for Spags.
tomorrow? please dont tease us like that! its only friday mike.
come on Dee you should know the schedule by now. monday to go over the the game and what the errors were and weight lifting,Tuesday off,Wednesday new game plan for upcoming game.

2013 NLCS Game 5: Dodgers 6, Cardinals 4 – Dodgers fight back
On the brink of elimination, the Dodgers fought back behind Zack Greinke and suddenly explosive bats, as they bombed four homers in a 6-4 victory in Game 5 of the 2013 NLCS. Adrian Gonzalez went yard twice, and Carl Crawford and A.J. Ellis also hit balls out. A-Gon took the 'Mickey Mouse' thing to the next level. Yasiel Puig has ... Read More »
2013 NLCS Game 4: Dodgers 2, Cardinals 4 – Dodgers on the brink
Ricky Nolasco was far from perfect, but the offense was once again the culprit, as the Dodgers fell, 2-4, in Game 4 of the 2013 NLCS to put them one loss from elimination. Chris Withrow's face sort of sums it up, no? At least the controversies didn't affect the fun on the field, though winning would be the best. Read More »

Hyun Jin Ryu threw a gem to lead the Dodgers to a 3-0 win over the Cardinals in Game 3 of the 2013 NLCS. Hanley Ramirez returned but was still obviously hurting.

This is an easy project for beginners.
Step 1: Materials
1 Pillow Case (Cotton)
Iron on Fusing (Like Steam-A-Seam)
Matching Scraps
Material for straps - Enough to make a 4inch by 8foot piece.
Matching Thread
Printout of a Cupcake
Apron pattern- I used an apron from a garage sale.
Be creative with your material. The polka dot material is from a girls pair of shorts, the rest come from women's shirts.
Step 2: Apron Base
2. Fold the pillow case in half, then fold the apron pattern in half and place on top of the pillow case.
Cut along the edges leaving 3/4 inch for a seam allowance. As you can see in the picture, I only had to cut along the arm sections.
3. Tuck the ends of the open edges inward. Iron. Fold the edges between under until they match up. Press with your fingers, then iron. Top stitch the folds closed.
Step 3: Put A Cupcake On It!
Trace onto the fabric scraps.
Follow the directions on your fusable webbing. I like Steam-a-Seam because it has a sticky side and is easy to cut with the fabric. Heat-N-Bond works too, just different directions.
Cut out cupcake parts - this apron has 3. Carefully position them onto the front. If you iron them on crooked, you can't fix it.
Iron sections onto the apron.
Zig-zag stitch around the edges of the cupcake using a bright thread. It's important to keep the apron flat as you sew.

The "Land of Sky-Blue Water" is the literal translation of the Dakota Indian word, "Minnesota." Known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes," we actually have 15,291 lakes. Minnesota is the 12th largest state in size, has a population of 5 million people, and residents enjoy the four seasons of the year. The Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs are home to 3 million people.
From the vast expanse of Lake Superior in the north to the deep river valleys of the south, to the agriculturally rich Red River Valley to the spirited Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, we enjoy a quality of life unmatched in other parts of the country.
Minneapolis and St. Paul have evolved into a major metropolitan center. Today, both cities and their surrounding communities host a unique situation: employment in the suburbs constitutes over 63 percent of all metropolitan jobs and one can easily live near one's work.
Natural attractions:
Lake Superior, the largest inland fresh water lake, has 150 miles of breath-taking Minnesota shoreline stretching from Duluth to the Canadian border. The road is flanked by the rocky North Shore cliffs on one side and the beautiful waters of the lake on the other.
Minneapolis has over 6,000 acres of parkland and St. Paul has over 3,500 acres where residents can walk, run, skate, and cycle. Many of the parks border lakes and rivers.
Man-made attractions:
In addition to the 68 state parks, Minnesotans enjoy attractions such as Valleyfair Amusement Park, Cantebury Downs, Knott's Camp Snoopy, and a number of Casinos within commuting distance. Our downtown skyways allow shoppers to go from store to store without the need to venture outside. Each city has more than five miles of skyways, and these have been studied by city planners from around the world.

- Recreation options: In the cities of lakes and parks, residents of the Twin Cities enjoy 1,000 local lakes, 135 golf courses, groomed parks and hiking trails, throughout the four seasons of the year. The largest lakes in the area are popular for boating, fishing, swimming, sailing, canoeing, water skiing, and ice fishing in the winter months. Minnesota has more boaters per capita than anywhere else in the U.S.
Educational institutions:
The Twin Cities has a reputation for the high quality of its workforce. They are educated (33.7% of Minnesotans have a bachelor's degree or higher), they are above average in technical literacy, and most are employed. The state has earned a national reputation for excellence in education with 91.9% of all adults age 18-24 having graduated from high school.

The downtowns offer attractive town homes, warehouse lofts, high-rise apartments and single-family homes close to parks, schools, and work. The wide ring of suburbs and small towns offer a broad range of housing options. In 2003, Minnesota ranked 2nd in the nation in home ownership, with a rate of 77.2 percent.
Minnesota is considered among the best states in which to raise children, ranking 1st in the nation in the 2004 Kids Count report. Minnesota is dedicated to educational excellence.

It's a great substitute for pasta and one of my favorite dishes is to serve it with a tomato sauce. It's naturally buttery and crunchy and a healthy choice!
Step 1: Ingredients
1 spaghetti squash
grated parmesan cheese
slices of bread (I enjoyed a loaf of Levain with this dinner)
To save time, I used a jar of spaghetti sauce that I had on hand and added some fresh ingredients to it.
To add to the spaghetti sauce:
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves of garlic
1 green bell pepper
black pepper
Step 2: Prepare the spaghetti squash
Carefully slice the spaghetti squash in half. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and any strings. Keep these in a bowl and set them aside. You can roast the seeds for a snack or salad topper.
Step 3: Bake the spaghetti squash
Bake for about 45 minutes or until you can easily poke a fork through the skin. Once it's done, remove the two halves from the oven and let them cool.
Step 4: Cook the sauce
Pour the tomato sauce into a pan and heat it up. Cut up the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Once it's simmering, add the onion and garlic. I saved the bell pepper until about 10 minutes before I was ready to serve. Add black pepper to taste.

GovLoop and Working with the Ning API
We recently had the pleasure of working with the awesome folks at GovLoop on an information architecture and design project. The purpose: to give GovLoop a quick facelift and use the Ning API to develop new "community pages" to make it easier for users to find content on key topics. If you're interested in learning more about the changes, check out Jeff Ribera's recent post on GovLoop and Govloop's founder Steve Ressler's 5 Tips on a Website Redesign.
For anyone unfamiliar with GovLoop, it is a great case study on how to build a successful online community. Since its inception in 2008, GovLoop has grown to 50,000 users from all levels of government and the private sector and is THE preeminent online community for anyone interested in innovations in government. GovLoop's phenomenal growth and success has also created quite a content management challenge, as users must sift through some 15,000 blog posts, 5,000 forum discussions, 2,500 events, and over 15 different types of content.
This was our first time in a couple of years working with Ning. We were pleasantly surprised at what could be accomplished using the API to develop the community pages, which aggregate content for seven broad topical areas of interest to the community. We were also able to do all the design prototyping in the browser so we could instantly know what could and couldn't work. Although this was a "quick and dirty" project, we were happy with our ability to make some improvements and help move GovLoop away from an out-of-the-box Ning look and feel.
Over the past few years, we have primarily recommended Ning for clients when we need to quickly spin up an online community in advance of an event, or for clients who need to launch a private social network quickly on a tight budget. Based on our experience on this project and what we could do with the API, we will start giving Ning a harder look, even for clients who need to go beyond the out-of-the-box Ning functionality.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC – Frostburg State knocked off Hilbert College 9-1 this morning in NCAA Division III softball action. The loss preceded a 16-4 defeat at the hands of the University of Scranton later in the day as the Hawks spent day three at the Myrtle Beach Snowbird Softball Tournament.
Against their familiar Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) foes, the Hawks owned a 1-0 lead after Sarah Collins (Lewiston, PA/Indian Valley) scored in the first inning. The lead was short lived as Frostburg (3-6) answered with two runs in the third inning, three in the fifth, and three more in the seventh to seal the win. Hilbert pitcher Laura Stranc (West Seneca, NY/West Seneca West) went the distance allowing 10 hits before suffering the loss.
Against the University of Scranton (5-1), Hilbert again got on the scoreboard first, this time with two runs in the first inning. The early lead was short lived as the Royals exploded for 12 runs in the first two innings off Hawks' pitcher Carrie Sisson (Elma, NY/Mt. Mercy). Scranton would answer again with four runs off Hilbert relief pitcher Heather Johnson (Tonawanda, NY/Kenmore East) as the Royals racked up eight hits and six walks in the win. Collins finished the day two for three at the plate to lead the Hawks. Stranc and Kelly Goodwin (Niagara Falls, NY/Niagara Falls) each hit safely while adding an RBI apiece in the losing effort.
Hilbert (1-5) will prepare to meet St. Joseph's College and SUNY Old Westbury tomorrow.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Chicago Public Schools announced plans Monday to add 12 new charters, including more campuses for networks with less-than-stellar scores.
Noble Street Charter Schools rank high among city high schools, but the state's recently released detailed performance data show that other well-known charter networks like United Neighborhood Organization, Catalyst and LEARN have struggled with campuses that have not met district averages on state exams.
Yet, under a proposal before the Board of Education on Wednesday, the politically connected UNO, with three of its nine schools falling below district averages, is slated for three new elementary schools for 2013. LEARN stands to get a new campus next school year and two more in 2013 despite struggling with its South Shore campus. And Catalyst, whose two campuses appear to be underperforming, is expected to get the OK to open a third school.
The charter announcement comes as the district fends off protests and community efforts to save failing schools from being closed down or keep teachers from being replaced in turnarounds. The district next month will begin holding hearings on 10 proposed turnarounds, five immediate school closings and two gradual closings called phaseouts.
School closings and turnarounds are always emotionally charged issues, but this year they come tinged with a sense of unfairness.
Not one charter school made the closings list even though state performance data revealed that some had students performing nearly as badly on state exams as those at neighborhood schools targeted for closing.
CPS has never revoked a charter's license, but school officials say they have now begun the process for two struggling charters. The district also has begun working with another charter network to turn around one of its failing schools. UNO is doing its own turnaround at its lowest-achieving campus, Paz.

BTW why bring up Darkfall the game is dead, finished..ruined...and lowest population it ever has been.

I understand where this idea came from, but the result is a chicken-with-heads cut off sticky-backing figure-eight sprinting melee fight, not a deliberate, careful duel.
For that kind of thing I would go to Mortal Online, which has combat closer to Mount&Blade but only first person, you can't even go into third (to prevent people corner-looking most likely).
I wish Zenimax would have taken the best parts of both those systems and put them into ESO.
All major features of Skyrim are possible in an MMO setting, with minor tweaks at best. Hotbars are fine, nothing wrong with hotbars, both DF and MO have them for quick access to vital items, and in DFs case, some cool-down abilites. Nothing wrong with that, but it's the visceral, punchy combat immersion that I would want to see from ESO and we aren't getting it. I love TES but that as well as the art-style are deal-breakers to me.

MORTAL ONLINE http://www.mortalonline.com/index.php
Is a 100% first person only MMO action combat game, its basically Elder scrolls online in a full sandbox world...
here is a duel i had with a friend, a bit dark as it was night but you will see sword and shield combat with no armour

not to mention DF has an aim based combat, FE also, now Tera, and other games as well.
it's definately possible, not easy or cheap, but definately possible. the problem is nobody want's to risk spending the money needed to make it a reality without knowing if it will sell. it is a big gamble since fps combat is quite new and not universally accepted in the mmo world as of yet.

Darkfall combat is good in many wales its fast enjoyable combat, its not suppose to be realistic.. if you want a more tactical combat system check out Mortal Online.

Who knows what people will think after launch, but right now it's one of the main complaints against the game.

ever since i've played TES and my first mmo (WoW) i've dreamd of just that: a TES mmo. a first person mmo in the world of the Elders Scrolls.
i've been dreaming of this for years now and now that it's finaly being made it's going to be nothing like TES.
there is nothing but disappointment here and i know i wont be playing this game if it feels more like Rift/SWTOR then Mortal/TES.

~On top of that~
IF you took the actual design of TES and put it in MMO format, those who come from a TES only background would not be accustomed to players having an impact on their experience. Theivery, kill anyone at anytime, etc... These people are used to themselves having that impact on the world, not players having that impact on each other. That is two totally different things. TES's actual ruleset and options would create one of the most lawless game environments in existence.

So again, single player not single player doesnt matter to me as a TES player. What DOES matter however is FPS view, emmersion, able to go anywhere for my own path and not penalized for not doing quests, and a huge world that doesnt look like a cartoon

If you know the Massively site and the "Anvil of Crom" that had a new article recently where the US based Author talks about to play on the European Server and the increase of Ping up to 250 ms and more and Players from Australia and NZ write comments that they have Pings of 500ms and more hurting their pvp experience its pretty obvious why a worldwide mmo not can have use of real time action combat.

i dont agree Distopia
hard core TES fans will be horrified at how different this mmo feels from the orginal game. the only thing that will resemble their beloved TES will be lore but the game it'self will feel nothing like TES. TES has an incredibly unique feel to it exactly because it's mostly a fps experience, with incredible graphics and freedom.
long time mmo fans will only see just one more WoW clone loosely based on the TES lore. there wont be anything unique about this game and the majority of features will be better done in other games they are already playing. there will be nothing new about this game and it will just more of the same old tired formula with a new skin.
this is why there are som many damn hate threads. nobody is happy here.

Mortal has the FPS style combat and immersive first-person-view that was expected of TES, along with some of the sandbox concepts. To me, it's the closest thing to an actual Elder Scrolls MMO there is. Sounds like that will still be the case after TESO launches.

equalize those that have low ping. In other words make everyones ping at best 190 regardless of how close you are to the server.
Now its also important to note that DF has a different focus that TES. That is a hard core combat game with many sociopathic players who adore FFA PvP and the game tries to be the most hard core there is.
Elder scrolls just needs FPS combat, not the BEST FPS MMO combat
Correlation does not imply causation
ping is only a problem of not having enough surver spread out through the world. MO for example only has 1 Europena server. DF only has 2 server, one in europe and one in north america. of course you'r gonna have ping issues when you got people plaing from Australia, Canada, Russia, Brazil, Sout africa etc etc.
a large company with money should have no problem having 1 or 2 servers per continent, especially if the game has a healthy subscription base (which a true TES mmo would have). this would pretty much eradicate severe ping issues.
Originally posted by Jakdstripper
exactly. DF has 10,000 player limit per server with ping concerns HOWEVER, your TES audience really isnt hyper competitive like DF players are demanding the lowest ping possible. TES personality types are explorers, they want FPS view and combat for the emmerison factor but its not a hyper competitive need.

The main problem I have with both of these responses, which I agree with both of you it would make for a better TES MMO, to be like a TES game.
Is that we're MMO fans as well as TES fans. We're used to players having an impact on our experience. I was speaking toward single-player only players. Which I can't imagine there would be a huge crossover of, into this TES MMO in the first place especially when it's not actually made by Bethesda or doesn't sound like TES.
~that may be different if the game was heralding TES features~
For those who did crossover into the game we'd prefer, it wouldn't be that same experience for them anyway. As it would be a free for all, where they're not in control of their world, instead other players are in control of their experience. As I said that's something completely different than what a TES SP experience is.
That part of my response is toward those saying TES fans would want that game, I'm saying only the ones who also play MMO's would and like their MMO to be lawless.
Now the first part is simply saying that I don't think it's smart to have single-player fans in mind when creating an MMO. To me that's like designing an RTS for FPS fans, it just doesn't make sense.
What works well in an MMO with little problems is controlled environments, and sectioned off PVP if you're aiming for the masses more than anything else. And I am sure they are.
@ jack, The problem with your WOW clone comment is, this game doesn't resmeble WOW in features as much as it does GW2, DAOC and EQ (open dungeons etc).

Is it just the lore? Did they just want the lore in a standard MMO format?
Or, were they hoping for such an MMO so they could have a familiar Elder Scrolls play experience in MMO form?
To me, the latter was the expectation, which explains all the anger regarding the leaked information.

like I said I cant speak for all players but I can say this about me personally. I have been playing games for 20+ years and NEVER does the question of 'is it an MMO or single player game' factor into my choice of if I play it or not. For me its 100% the game itself and having others play with me in a game is a feature I weigh against other features. I will not seek out a game I dont like simply because I can play with others.

By Heather Forsgren WeaverAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30, 2010 Heather Forsgren Weaver of American Forces Press Service is a regular contributor to Family Matters. In this blog, Heather urges servicemembers and their families who are living and serving away from their home of record to exercise their right to vote by using an absentee ballot.
Absentee Ballots Do Count
When I first moved East, I lived and worked on Capitol Hill for the senator from Utah. This meant I could keep my Utah residency.
Being 2,500 miles away from Utah, however, meant that to vote in the local election in 1989, I needed to vote by absentee ballot. I dutifully filled out the form requesting a ballot and then carefully made sure that after I made my selections, I signed the correct copy and put it in the double envelope and personally took it to the post office to be sent.
Some of my friends laughed at me, telling me that absentee ballots didn't matter – nobody really counted them anyway.
They were wrong. All votes, even absentee ballots, count. In this case especially, my vote counted. The outcome of my hometown's mayoral race was decided by counting the absentee ballots. I voted for the incumbent and he won only because the absentee votes were counted. I'll never know whether my vote was the deciding factor but I do know that my vote counted.
This week is Absentee Voter Week. The purpose of Absentee Voter Week is to encourage all of those not living in the local jurisdiction of their home of record and especially those living overseas to vote now so that your vote will count on Nov. 2. Ballots that arrive after this date ARE NOT COUNTED.
American Forces Press Service has developed a Web special that has all of the information you need along with special links to online resources.
I encourage all of you out there living away from your home of record to use those resources and make your vote count.
You never know your vote could turn an election.

What are the rule regarding grabbing the cage?
I am asking because I was re watching the Silva Sonnen fight and I noticed in the 4th round (4:40ish - right before Silva gets warned about the elbows) Anderson grabs the cage for balance and holds onto it as he throws a kick at Sonnen. Would this be considered an illegal move or cage grab or is it only when you are on the defensive?
It is quick and minor, not saying it had any effect on the outcome, but just curious if someone knows the details around the rules. Plus, we should have these rules on lock down with the Tito Evans fight tomorrow.

First 2 Chapters FREE!
Just enter your name and email address and I'll send you the first 2 chapters of my book, The 30-Day Heartburn Solution – Absolutely FREE
If you're ready to end your heartburn forever – sign up today:
Dear friend,
My name is Eric Letendre, and I asked my friend, Craig, if I could write this letter.
Let me share my quick story.
I have suffered with stomach problems for years. When I first started having problems, it was called heartburn. Since then, it has been renamed acid reflux, GERD and more.
I started having problems while still in high school. Before I graduated, I was eating Rolaids and Tums like candy. My buddies would go to the local store to buy candy and soda, I would get packs of Rolaids.
This was before the days of Pepcid, Zantac or Prilosec being available over the counter.
My stomach problems continued and I eventually saw a doctor. This was back in the 80's and the doctor prescribed four different laxatives. For some reason, the doctor believed that I was having a problem with bowel movements and I spent the next two weeks making sure I was close to a bathroom. Two weeks was all I could take and the heartburn was worse than ever.
Over the years, I developed different techniques to combat the acid that would literally make me double over in pain.
I drank gallons of baking soda and water, I started eating more because it would give me temporary relief. I would chug apple cider vinegar with meals when I felt it coming on.
I would wake up in the middle of the night and drive miles to find a 24 hour store to get antacids that I would quickly gobble down.
I'm embarrassed to share this…
During that time, my brother-in-law worked for a large pharmaceutical company and I used to sneak into his medicine cabinet and take some of his Pepcid before it was available over the counter. I am embarrassed to share this, but when you are in pain and can't find relief, you do things you are not proud of.
This went on for years and then I remember the day I found out Pepcid was available over the counter.
I was like a kid at Christmas.
But that relief came with a price – and I'm not talking about money.
The price I paid was never being able to do anything without having a box of Pepcid close by. I remember taking a boat ride and nearly having a panic attack because I forgot to bring my Pepcid.
This was no way to live, but what choices did I have?
Well, it all changed the day I met Craig Fear and let me be very blunt. When I first scheduled a consultation with Craig, I thought he was nuts.
Seriously, I disagreed with much of what Craig advised me to do. In fact, I left and decided to completely ignore him and continued to suffer.
Luckily, Craig and I belonged to the same networking organization and I would see him on a regular basis. He gently kept asking after my health and reminding me of what steps I should take to help with my stomach issues.
After months of ignoring him, I finally "heard" him. He asked me to do just one thing – that's it. He asked me to take one small step and report back to him. I halfheartedly agreed and went home and told my wife.
She enthusiastically agreed and we took the one simple step Craig advised.
By the end of the week, a very strange thing happened. I was not reaching for my box of Pepcid. I could go a complete day without having any heartburn.
I honestly couldn't believe it. How had I gone all those years of suffering and with just one simple suggestion, my heartburn was gone?
My whole opinion about Craig's advice changed. I wanted to know more and Craig gave me a complete step-by-step plan that would not only relieve my heartburn but would also help heal my stomach.
That plan is now available. It's Craig's new book.
"In 2007, I was diagnosed with GERD. My doctor immediately put me on Prevacid. After a few years it stopped working and I was switched to Nexium. In 2011, I met with Craig and I wasn't prepared for the scope of good advice that he gave me. I couldn't believe how good I felt after just a few weeks. After four years on acid-blockers I quit taking them and have not felt the need for them since." – Janice B.
Here is what you'll discover in Craig's incredible new book:
- The little-known root cause to heartburn that the pharmaceutical industry doesn't want you to know. (Big Pharma loves to keep us confused about this because antacids are some of the most profitable drugs on the market.) Page 24
- Exactly how popular drugs like Prilosec, Pepcid and Zantac compromise the acidity of your stomach that can 1.) Interfere with a chemical pathway that signals the stomach to produce acid 2.) Alter the naturally acidic environment in the stomach 3.) Keep you on these drugs for years. Page 22
- The prominent dentist that traveled the world in the 1930's to discover the secrets to nutrition. (This amazing dentist studied many different cultures in remote areas of the world and found the "diet connection" that differs greatly from our modern processed diet.) Page 28
- The BIGGEST nutritional myth of the century and how it wreaks havoc on your health and stomach. (This myth is so big and has been told to you for so long, I guarantee you are going to reject and refuse to believe it the first time you read it.) Page 32
- Craig's "quadruple bypass!" The four types of incredibly bad fats that you MUST bypass to achieve good gut health. (The food industry has spent BILLIONS to convince you these fats are healthy and good for you). Page 34
- The REAL secret behind grains. (Contrary to popular belief, grains are NOT the devil, but you do have to follow one important step when you consume them. Learn what the step is and how to safely eat grains.) Page 37
- The TRUTH about milk. (Low-fat, skim, whole? The entire subject of milk has become a disaster. Scare tactics, misinformation, even armed raids have resulted over the subject of milk. Finally, a voice of reason to help you wade through the maze of confusion about milk.) Page 45
- The real reason why your stomach is "bugging" you. (Discover how native cultures preserved foods to populate their stomachs with beneficial bacteria.) Page 53
- How to soothe and repair your digestive system so that you not only stop heartburn and GERD, but lay the foundation for it to NEVER return. (Follow Craig's simple 3-Step Plan and find out for yourself.) Page 64
- Three words on page 65 that will make you want to jump and shout for joy. (I'm not kidding. Craig gives you full permission with these three words.)
- What the Russians know about making an extremely powerful digestive drink. (And how you can use this drink for a number of health benefits including: treating kidney stones, alkalizing your blood, promoting regularity, aiding digestion and cleansing your liver.) Page 69
- The one liquid antacid you can consume every day that will soothe digestive disturbances and promote good health. (This liquid antacid can be used if heartburn hits you after a meal.) Page 80
And a whole lot more including…
How to survive in the middle of a "food desert"…The simple "key" to success for eating well… Why you need to forget about meal plans and start using meal ideas… A famous chef's advice on cooking… the one cookbook everyone needs in their kitchen… and even…
» What you need to know about supplements.
Today's supplement industry is much like the Wild West. Deceptive health claims, misleading labels and little regulation have led many a consumer down an unhealthy dark path.
For most people reading this book, believe it or not, supplements won't even be necessary.
"I'd been on an acid-blocker for many years and was about twenty pounds overweight. Craig introduced me to a dietary approach which was almost the exact opposite of what my doctor had been recommending. Not only did my heartburn fade away but so did those excess pounds. Best of all, it was so easy. I never once experienced hunger or cravings." – Joe K.
Obviously, Craig has helped many to overcome their digestive and stomach problems – and he can help you too.
Part of the problem is the confusion around nutrition and health. Imagine, just a few weeks from now and you could go the entire day without reaching for Tums or taking a prescribed or over the counter drug to stop the pain of heartburn.
Imagine having a meal and not worrying about how it is going to sit in your stomach or how you'll feel a half hour later.
And one last thing I almost forgot to mention. The steps Craig taught me and are covered in this book are easy. I mean real easy. There is no complicated system of meal planning and eating that you have to follow.
Anyway, if you're ready for the solution to your heartburn, then this is the book for you. It's an entertaining and informative book that you'll enjoy and want to tell your long suffering friends and family about.
Just 30 short days from now, you'll be glad you found this book.
Order your copy today and get started instantly.
The 30-Day Heartburn Solution is an ebook in PDF format, so you'll be able to download it right away.
All the best,
Eric R. Letendre

Pro-coal groups and lawmakers are planning a blitz tomorrow against U.S. EPA rules affecting the industry, particularly a proposal to regulate greenhouse gas emissions for new power plants and another expected to extend such scrutiny to existing generators. The effort will include hearings, the release of draft legislation and a Capitol Hill rally to highlight the harm they say the rules would do to coal country.

Calif., Ore., Wash., Canadian province to make climate announcement Monday

To Expand Offshore Power, Japan Builds Floating Windmills
Twelve miles out to sea from the severely damaged and leaking nuclear reactors at Fukushima, a giant floating wind turbine signals the start of Japan's most ambitious bet yet on clean energy. When this 350-foot-tall windmill is switched on next month, it will generate enough electricity to power 1,700 homes. Unremarkable, perhaps, but consider the goal of this offshore project: to generate over 1 gigawatt of electricity from 140 wind turbines by 2020. That is equivalent to the power generated by a nuclear reactor.
Creativity key as grid planners confront changing technologies, politics
John Norris of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission warned the North American Electric Reliability Corp.'s (NERC) second annual reliability summit in Arlington, Va., that "rapid change" has become a fact of life in their business. "Hold onto your seats," Norris said.
U.S. offshore wind moves closer to commercial viability — report
Despite the global recession, the growth of offshore wind energy has surged over the last decade, with commercial farms regularly popping up in waters surrounding northwestern Europe and east Asia. Today, total global capacity for offshore wind has reached nearly 5.3 gigawatts, according to a new report by Navigant Consulting Inc. There is currently just one offshore wind turbine spinning in American waters, a 20-kilowatt pilot deployed by the University of Maine in June. But over the last year, analysts believe the United States made significant headway in making the wind industry's offshore dreams a reality.
Legislative glitch could doom rules for existing power plants
"It was one of those things that almost never happens," said C. Boyden Gray, President George H.W. Bush's White House counsel at the time the amendments were enacted. Speaking on the sidelines of a recent event in Washington, D.C., hosted by the Atlantic Council, an international affairs leadership organization, Gray said the House language might prevent EPA from promulgating the rule. "That could be the little tail that wags the great big dog," he said. Gray, who had a hand in crafting EPA's cap-and-trade program for acid rain during the Bush administration, said Section 111(d) might allow EPA to set up a similar market-based mechanism for power plant CO2.
Shutdown delays Md. offshore wind auction — Jewell
The 16-day government shutdown delayed the announcement of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's third competitive offshore wind lease sale, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said yesterday. "Had we not been shut down for two-and-a-half weeks, I would be announcing the next sale date for the Maryland wind energy area," Jewell said. "I don't have that firm date for you, but it will be coming up." Speaking at the American Wind Energy Association conference in Providence, R.I., Jewell called the shutdown "a bit of a rude awakening" after her tenure in the business sector, most recently as the CEO of outdoor gear retailer REI.
Governor Branstad supporting Clean Line and MidAmerican Energy Projects (Part 2)
"MidAmerican Energy, of course, is making a $1.9 billion expansion to wind energy in Iowa." MidAmerican's expansion program is the largest single financial investment in the state's history which includes adding up to 656 new wind turbines totaling 1050 megawatts of wind energy that's to be used within Iowa. "And then, of course, you have here the Clean Line Energy plan. Its tremendous economic development for Iowa and this area of the state which will capitalize on our robust wind energy that we have," Branstad noted. "All you have to do was be outside today and see that this is the windiest part of the state, so it makes a lot of sense." Harkening back, Branstad said, "I'm proud to say that I was the Governor that started this back in 1983. We were the first state to begin a program that we called the Renewable Energy Standard. Since then, 24 states have copied what we have and it's been very successful. I think we're up to between 25% or 30% of our energy that's now produced from the wind.
Governor Branstad supporting Clean Line and MidAmerican Energy Projects (Part 1)
"Wind energy holds huge potential for NW Iowa," Simon continued. "And the Clean Line Energy/Rock Island transmission project, as well as other wind projects, can turn potential into economic reality. NWIDP feels so strongly about the project that we have formally supported the project and plan to support it in multiple ways."
Great Lakes ice won't derail wind turbines — researcher
A University of Michigan engineering professor said ice in the Great Lakes will likely increase construction costs for wind turbines being built in the area but will not be a deal-breaker for projects. Speaking at the Grand Valley State University Michigan Alternative and Renewable Energy Center in Muskegon, Mich., yesterday, marine engineer Dale Karr said his research had not found ice to be a "showstopper" that would derail construction plans, although he said more study was needed to be sure.

Dr. Bruce Thompson's research addresses environmental factors that impact early childhood language and cognitive development. He currently has two interconnected projects that focus on emergent metacognitive reasoning in early childhood and the role of gender and family socioeconomic status. One study is investigating the effects of poverty on parents' ability to provide metacognitive language within their everyday discourse with children. The analyses focus on talk about the mind as a self-regulatory process (e.g. planning, self-evaluation and strategic thought). A second study is exploring emergent theory of mind ability (a facet of metacognitive reasoning). The term "theory of mind" refers to children's ability to abstractly represent their own states of mind and to infer others' beliefs, intentions and knowledge. This is thought to be pivotal for perspective taking, collaboration and empathy. Studies are conducted in partnership with Portland area preschools and daycare centers, including several Head Start preschools. He has a symbiotic relationship where access to participating families forms the foundation for data collection; and where teams of committed, USM research students also volunteer to assist in preschool classrooms. Professor Thompson is also the faculty coordinator for the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP).
