Softball Travels to Central Arkansas for Tournament
This Week: Creighton softball travels to the UCA Tournament this weekend in Conway, Ark., hosted by Central Arkansas. The Bluejays are scheduled to play four games this weekend beginning Friday. Creighton (2-3) opens against Ball State at 11 a.m. CT followed by a game against host Central Arkansas later in the day at 5 p.m.
On Saturday, CU faces Arkansas-Pine Bluff at 11 a.m. for its only contest of the day. The Jays conclude the tourney Sunday morning at 9 a.m. against Grambling State.
Following the Jays: Live stats links for this weekend can be found on the softball schedule page of GoCreighton.com. Fans can also keep in touch with Creighton softball on Twitter - @BluejaySoftball and Facebook - www.facebook.com/CreightonSoftball.
Last Season: The Bluejays return 11 players from last season's team that compiled a 28-25-1 overall record and finished fifth in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) at 15-11. Creighton finished last season with a school-record 294 runs. CU led the MVC with a .292 batting average, 56 homers, 275 RBI and a .464 slugging percentage. The Jays ranked in the NCAA top 30 in scoring (No. 20), home runs per game (No. 22) and slugging percentage (No. 27) in 2012.
Preseason Predictions: The Creighton softball team placed four players on the 2013 preseason all-conference team as the league's coaches picked the Bluejays to finish fourth in the MVC, the league office announced Jan. 23.
The fourth-place prediction is the highest preseason ranking for the Bluejays since 2010 when they were picked to win the Valley. Creighton has finished lower than fourth in the MVC regular season standings just three times in the past 16 seasons.
Senior catcher Amy Baker earned the second All-MVC preseason selection of her career to go with a nod from 2011 during her sophomore campaign. Additionally, three juniors claimed their first preseason honors in designated player and pitcher Alexis Cantu, pitcher Becca Changstrom and outfielder Ellen Homan. All four of the CU honorees earned All-MVC accolades after last season.
The four CU player selections match Southern Illinois for the most on the 2013 preseason squad. Additionally, the four players on the preseason all-conference team are the most for any Creighton squad dating back to 2004 when three Jays earned All-MVC preseason honors and current assistant Abby Johnson collected honorable mention recognition.
Head Coach: The winningest coach in Creighton athletics history, Brent Vigness is in his 20th season at the helm of one of the most successful programs in the Midwest and Missouri Valley Conference (MVC). He carries a 608-431-3 record after 19 seasons at Creighton and boasts a 756-502-4 overall record with five years at Assumption College prior to beginning at CU.
A three-time MVC Coach of the Year, he has led the Bluejays to six MVC regular-season titles (1998-2000, 2007-09), six Valley tournament titles (1999, 2003-05, 2007, 2010) and seven NCAA regional appearances (1999, 2003-05, 2007-08, 2010). He claimed MVC Coach of the Year honors in 1998 and guided the MVC Coaching Staffs of the Year in 2007 and 2008.
Vigness coached his 1,000th game at Creighton and recorded his 600th win at CU in 2012.
Last Time Out: Creighton had the week off from action last week after opening at the Kajikawa Classic Feb. 7-9 with wins over New Mexico and Oregon State, leading to a 2-3 record. The Bluejays are 5-6 all-time at the Kajikawa Classic following a 3-3 ledger at Tempe in 2010.
Scouting Creighton (2-3): The Bluejays saw some success at the Kajikawa Classic two weeks ago with wins over a 2012 top-25 team in New Mexico and Oregon State who received votes in this week's National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) poll.
Four of Creighton's five contests were within a margin of four runs. The exception was a 13-3 setback to then-No. 14 Florida. Since that time the Gators have rocketed up nine spots to No. 5 in this week's NFCA poll with an unblemished 12-0 record.
Creighton dropped a 5-2 contest to San Diego State who received votes in the USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 poll this week. The Jays' other decision in Tempe was a tight 4-3 setback to Stephen F. Austin.
Two weeks into the season, Creighton ranks fifth in the Valley with a .265 batting average. In the circle, the Jays stand sixth in the MVC with a 3.84 ERA.
Individually, CU freshman Kelsey Allender is eighth in the conference with a .417 batting average. Creighton boasts half of the top six in slugging percentage with senior Amy Baker (No. 3 - .813), senior Sammy Snygg (No. 4 - .778) and junior Alexis Cantu (No. 6 - .714).
Junior Beccas Changstrom is sixth in the league with a .247 opposing batting average. She ranks at No. 6 with 26 strikeouts this year.
Scouting the
Opponents: Creighton stands undefeated at 8-0 all-time
against its four opponents this weekend.
Ball State (3-1): The Cardinals enter the tournament with three wins at the KSU Classic hosted by Kennesaw State last weekend. BSU won its first three games of the year by a margin of 27-5 with two shutouts. The Cardinals topped IUPUI 15-5, beat UT Martin 2-0 and blanked Tennessee Tech 10-0 in five innings before an 8-6 setback to Eastern Kentucky.
Ball State finished 2012 with an impressive 40-15 overall record, winning the Mid-American Conference Western Division and regular-season titles. But the Cardinals went 1-2 in their conference tournament and were not selected as an NCAA at-large squad last season.
In 2012, Ball State led the nation with 0.6 double plays per game. On offense the Cardinals ranked second in the country in doubles per game at 1.82, fifth in scoring with 6.69 runs per contest, sixth in slugging percentage (.543) and eighth in the NCAA with a .318 batting average.
BSU is the preseason favorite to win both the 2013 Mid-American Conference West Division title and the 2013 MAC Tournament as voted on by the league's 12 head coaches.
The team returns 12 letterwinners and seven position starters from last season's squad including 2012 MAC Player of the Year and First Team All-MAC selection Jennifer Gilbert who finished last season ranked in the top 40 nationally in runs per game (fifth), doubles per game (10th), home runs per game (17th), home runs (19th), triples (28th), slugging percentage (37th) and RBI per game (37th).
Other All-MAC players returning to the Ball State lineup this season include second-team selections Amanda Carpenter, Audrey Bickel and Hanne Stuedemann.
Creighton is 2-0 all-time against Ball State but the programs have not met since 1991. That year the Bluejays beat BSU 2-0 at the South Florida Classic. In 1989, Creighton edged the Cardinals 2-1 at the Texas A&M Invitational.
Central Arkansas (5-5): The tournament host Bears enter their tourney at .500 on the year on a three-game losing streak. After an impressive 4-2 win over Ole Miss Feb. 15, UCA dropped three straight including a pair to South Alabama.
Last season Central Arkansas experienced its most successful season ever, compiling a record of 36-22 and reaching the Southland Conference Tournament for the first time in school history.
The Bears were picked to finish no worse than third in the preseason Southland Conference polls. In the coaches' poll, Central Arkansas ranked third place behind Sam Houston State and McNeese State. In the media poll the Bears fared better trailing only SHSU.
UCA placed six players named to All-Southland Conference preseason teams. Of the six All-SLC honorees, three were seniors and three were sophomores. Central Arkansas evenly distributed its honorees between the first and second teams, with utility player Melissa Bryant, outfielder Stephanie Lasley, and pitcher Kelsie Armstrong being named to the first team, while catcher Melanie Bryant, third baseman Tiffany Roby, and first baseman Ashley Boswell were named to the second team.
Creighton is 2-0 all-time against UCA. The Bluejays beat the Bears twice in 2007 at the UCA Spring Clash. CU won the contests by scores of 8-1 and 5-0 over the Bears during the opening weekend six seasons ago.
Arkansas-Pine Bluff (0-4): Creighton is familiar with UAPB after starting the 2012 season with a four-game sweep against the Lady Lions during the opening weekend.
After a combined no-hitter between Sammy Snygg and Alexis Cantu in the series finale, the Jays completed the series sweep in Pine Bluff. Creighton scored at least 10 runs in each game of the four-game series for its highest scoring four-game span in school history, outscoring the Lady Lions 54-4.
Under first-year head coach Tiffany Ansley, the 2013 Lady Lions are winless on the year after a pair of losses to Division II foe Southern Arkansas and doubleheader losses to Central Arkansas.
Three UAPB players are hitting over .300 this season led by Jasmine Hardwrick at .375. Lacie Sutterfield is second on the squad hitting .333 at the plate and Alexsis McCain also owns a .333 average. Sutterfield also has two starts in the circle with one complete game and a team-best 7.00 ERA.
Creighton is 4-0 all-time against UAPB after sweeping a four-game set to open 2012.
Grambling State (2-4): Creighton faces Grambling State for the first time on the softball diamond on Sunday. GSU comes into the tourney at 2-4 after a two-game sweep of NAIA member Texas College on Feb. 19.
The Lady Tigers opened the season at the Louisiana-Monroe Leadoff Classic. GSU did not score a run in its first three outings of the season, falling to UC Santa Barbara 6-0 in its opener before a pair of 8-0 shortened-game losses to ULM and MVC member Wichita State. Grambling State ended the tourney on a 6-3 loss to Southeast Missouri State.
GSU was picked to finish sixth this year in the preseason Southwestern Athletic Conference Coaches poll.
Briana Carmouche and Mikiesha Henson are the only Lady Tigers with five or more starts this season. Carmouche is hitting .313 at the plate while Henson holds a .286 batting average.
GSU fields two pitchers in the circle this season. Kailey Howard is 1-2 on the year with a 5.57 ERA while Angela Perez is also 1-2 on the year with a 5.88 ERA.
Déjà Vu vs. OSU: Creighton's win over Oregon State on Feb. 8, marked the Jays' second-straight victory over the Beavers by the same score (5-3) in the same tournament (Kajikawa Classic) at the same location (Tempe, Ariz.), three years apart. CU is now 2-2 against the Pac-12 foe and head coach Brent Vigness is 2-1 versus OSU.
Season-Opening Salvo: The Bluejays' season-opening win over New Mexico is Creighton's third-straight victory to begin a season following opening-day wins in 2011 and 2012.
CU's first-game win streak matches the longest in program history when the Jays previously won three consecutive openers from 2006-08 and 1998-2000. All three streaks were under the direction of current head coach Brent Vigness.
Creighton is 19-18 overall in season-opening contests including an 11-9 record under Vigness.
Baker Booms the Bat: CU's Amy Baker hit the game-winning three-run homer in the 5-3 win over Oregon State. The senior hit homers in back-to-back games including the Jays' first hit against then-No. 14 Florida on Feb. 8.
With the two homers Baker has 43 in her career just seven shy of tying the CU all-time record and nine short of MVC all-time mark. Playing in just half as many games as most Valley players, Baker still rates third in the MVC in home runs (2) and in slugging percentage (.813).
Telecky on Top against Oregon State: Brittany Telecky won her first start of the season in a 5-3 win over Oregon State. The junior pitched six innings against OSU allowing just three runs on eight hits. She also came in as a relief pitcher against San Diego State for two innings, allowing no hits or runs and just one walk. Telecky has yet to allow a hit with two outs on the board this season.
Changstrom Collects K's: Becca Changstrom's 11 strikeout performance against Stephen F. Austin on Feb. 9 stands as the best single-game outing by a Valley hurler two weeks into the season. Only one other Valley pitcher has recorded double-digit strikeouts in a game this season. Despite fewer innings pitched than most Valley hurlers, Changstrom's total of 26 strikeouts this season ranks sixth in the MVC. As a result, she leads the Valley at 9.93 strikeouts per game.

LISBON - Parkway Ford is planning on expanding this fall to bring its building in line with other Ford dealers across the nation.
The dealership has intended to renovate the store since moving the Potsdam Ford dealership to Lisbon last year.
Its something that needs to be done, Kevin Sellers, sales manager, said.
Parkway Ford is located at 9890 Route 37, near the Lisbon Beach and Campground.
Town Councilor Susan M. Duffy said the dealership is in the process of submitting a state environmental quality review to the towns planning board.
The planning boards next meeting is Aug. 12.
My understanding is theyll have something for the next meeting, Ms. Duffy, who serves as liaison to the planning board, said.
Ms. Duffy said the architectural plans have already been submitted to the planning board.
Numerous attempts to get details about the exact size and proportions of the project from the business and the town were unsuccessful, but Mr. Sellers said it will be an intensive renovation.
Mr. Sellers said Ford wants stores across the nation to be easily recognizable through uniform building design.
The project will see most of the building redone, Mr. Sellers said, including the showroom.
It will be the nicest looking dealership in the north country, he said.

UNDATED (AP) - Derek Jeterreceived an ovation that could be heard throughout Steinbrenner Field when he jogged onto the diamond for the New York Yankees' first full-squad workout Monday.
Jeter took part in most of the team drills, including on-field batting practice for the first time since undergoing ankle surgery last October. The 38-year-old captain, who has been hitting in an indoor cage, also took part in a 25-minute defensive session at shortstop.
Although he didn't take part in agility or running, Jeter got the day's biggest salute from the several hundred fans present when he first appeared. They also cheered when he lined a ball to right on his first BP swing.

6 Steps to Improve Your Memory
1. Learn something
Stimulating the brain helps it develop a resilience that allows us to fight off diseases like Alzheimer's, says Paul D. Nussbaum, Ph.D, an adjunct professor of neurological surgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine who has been working with AARP on its brain health program. "Age doesn't matter," he says. "We have the ability to shape our brains throughout our lives."
2. Sleep
Getting fewer than six hours of sleep a night can raise the risk of stroke, according to research presented at a 2012 Associated Professional Sleep Societies meeting.
3. Eat right
More than half your plate should be filled with green, leafy vegetables. Get plenty of fish, nuts and olive oil; steer clear of refined carbs. A 2009 Columbia University study found that this kind of diet may help ward off Alzheimer's.
4. Challenge yourself
"The number one memory complaint people have is that they're bad with names," says neurologist Majid Fotuhi, M.D., Ph.D. "People need to stop whining and realize they can do it!" His prescription: Memorize three names a day — such as those of an announcer on TV, a person in your company and a key player on your favorite sports team.
5. Walk with a friend
Psychiatrist Gary Small, M.D., calls this a triple threat against Alzheimer's disease: It gives you a cardiovascular workout, stress-relieving social interaction and mentally stimulating conversation.
6. Meditate
Reduced anxiety improves blood flow to the brain. A quick calm-me-down: Inhale for a count of seven, hold for a count of seven, exhale for a count of seven. Repeat seven times.

A small amount of Botox is injected using a very fine needle under the arms. Botox will temporarily block chemical signals that are used to stimulate the sweat glands to start working. When the signals are not complete the glands will not produce sweat. The process takes around 5-10 minutes and is almost painless. The treatment will be effective for 6-9 months. Results are going to vary from person to person. Depending on how sensitive a person is more injections may be needed.
Botox is a popular treatment but many people still do not understand exactly what it can and cannot be used for. Only your doctor can tell you if Botox is the right choice for you. Here are some myths and facts about this treatment.
Myth: Botox is not used until fine lines are visible.
Fact: Botxon can be used to prevent these lines from forming. Once the lines are present it is harder to get smooth skin once again. Dr. Grant Stevens explains that wrinkles are formed on the face by scowling, squinting, and moving the eyebrows. Botox teaches people do not move their face in specific ways that can make the lines worst. This can lead to less Botox treatments in the future.
Myth: Stopping Botox treatments make wrinkles more visible
Truth: The wrinkles will go back to the way they were before treatments began. Dr. Martie Gidon states that Botox treatments prevent the wrinkles from becoming more visible. If the treatments are stopped the effects will slowly wear off. Facial movements make wrinkles worse not Botox. The results from Botox treatments are not permanent. Dr. Steven Svehlak states that the results of Botox treatments last three to four months. For those that have been getting treatments on a regular basis the results can last longer. Once Botox is stopped the face will slowly appear to the way it once was.

I know that most of you already know about a couple of special prayer requests that are being sent out across our little corner of Blogville. I just want to try to spread the word that our prayers are needed now, more than ever, for our brave Amy.
My heart ached after reading Sherry's blog (Country Wings in Phoenix), and learning that her sister, Debbie's (There's An Angel on My Front Porch) daughter, Amy is now in critical condition. Please pray for Amy, Debbie, Amy's father, Sherry, and the rest of this precious family, as they walk this difficult journey.
I'd also like to request special prayers for our dear friend, Ann at Life at Ann's Place, as she faces a lengthy and difficult surgery on Tuesday.
I know that non-bloggers can't possibly understand the pain and the concern we feel for people we have never met. I have begun to think that the fact that we haven't met makes these fearful events even more difficult.
How I would love to be able to hug these wonderful people when I tell them that I am praying for them. I want to be able to look them in the eyes and tell them how special they are and to let them know how much I care. I feel that my attempt to convey those feelings through a typewritten comment on a blog does not come close to letting them know what they have come to mean to me. In situations like this, we usually feel helpless even if we are right beside the person who is walking a fearful path, but we can at least hold the friend and give them a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen to their fears.
Amy, Debbie, Sherry, and all of your family, know that we are praying and that we are hugging you and we hope that you can feel our love through our typewritten words..
Ann, know that we are praying for you as you go to Houston for your surgery, and know that our arms are wrapped around you in love, and we hope that you and your family can feel our love.
If you haven't met these sweet bloggers, please go meet them now, and let them know that a lot of people are thinking about them and praying for them. These are some of the sweetest bloggers I know, and both families need all of the love and prayers that I know you wonderful people can give them.
Amy , Debbie, Sherry, and their families at Country Wings in Phoenix
Ann and her family at Life at Ann's Place.
Thank you so very much. laurie

The St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center Task Force will host sheriffs from the six county region served by the psychiatric center on Thursday to discuss the services offered in Ogdensburg and the impact communities would feel if inpatient facilities were relocated downstate.
The state Office of Mental Health has proposed sending mental health patients who require inpatient care to facilities downstate in an effort to consolidate services. The plan would also see the state relying more heavily on community-based mental health care.
Sheriffs from St. Lawrence, Jefferson, Lewis, Franklin, Essex and Clinton counties will tour the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center on Thursday afternoon and then gather at the Dobisky Center at 5 p.m. to discuss the plan by OMH.
Citing comments made by St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin M. Wells at a public hearing in September, Task Force Chairman Charles W. Kelly said the plan by OMH will lead to a higher number of people behind bars who require psychiatric care.
Thats a sad day when were making prisoners out of people who are sick, Mr. Kelly said on Tuesday.
Task Force member and Ogdensburg City Manager John M. Pinkerton said OMH is sending two 12-person vans to facilitate the tour of the facility and representatives from the state will also be on hand.
Mr. Pinkerton said, We want the sheriffs to see the facility; what [patients] get for care. We want them to be able to express to the state what kind of burden this [plan] is going to be on them.
The tour may also include some of the community-based mental health services in Ogdensburg, Mr. Pinkerton said.
I think what the state wants to show is that there are community resources, he said.
But Mr. Pinkerton said the Task Force, too, wants to showcase the community-based mental health care that is available because it will be evident that what is available is insufficient without inpatient services as well.
Im not saying [the community services in Ogdensburg are] bad because theyre not – theyre good. But its not what someone who has a psychotic episode needs, Mr. Pinkerton said.
In January the Task Force hopes to host a similar meeting with the chairmen of the county legislatures from the six-county region that would focus on budgetary issues associated with the plan by OMH, Mr. Pinkerton said.

I woke up in a bad mood this morning (repeatedly awoken last night) and you just made my DAY Neil! How gorgous!!!!!!!!!
I want to taste everything! Are they selling anything online?
I wouldn't want to be the person that has to clean out that chocolate waterfall if your temp. drops. Will you post a photo of it when it's running, please?
Crepes made to order..........cool, very cool.
Can we ask you questions about some of the items?

By the way, what sweetener are you using for the sugar-free stuff?

It looks like we finally have a French patisserie right here in the USA. I wish I could produce such works of art.

I'll try to answer all the questions I can, though I haven't tasted everything so I don't know full details on some items (and don't ask me which is my favorite).
We use maltitol in the sugar free items. It doesn't have a nasty aftertaste like artificial sweeteners do, and though it can affect the "digestive process" if eaten in large quantities, the amount we use is quite small and we haven't had any complaints. It's been used in the sugar free desserts in the buffet for years.
I don't think anything is available on-line, or if they plan to do so in the future. I would doubt it since we just aren't set up for than kind of quantity. Guess you'll just have to take a field trip to Vegas, Wendy.
So far we've been making 15 of each of the dessert pastries every day, but I'm sure that will change once they see which items sell better than others. I've been spending most of my time constructing the fruit and raspberry tarts, as well as finishing the charlottes and a few other items. Our team of 5 people (plus 2 chef-supervisors and 2 afternoon production people) also has to still produce desserts for 5 restaurants and room service, as well as several other retail outlets in the hotel. Of we also get a lot of help from the danish, chocolate and production teams who produce the doughs, choux, and puff that we use. If you include the banquet and buffet teams, it's a huge kitchen.
I will get a photo of the waterfall as soon as they get it working.
I don't think Chihuly did the glass installation - not really his style. I'm guessing it was the interior design team. I'll try to find out who designed the space.
Don't know about the Sacher spelling. Maybe it's "French"?

Being a lowly baker (otherwise known as a pastry cook) I'm not privy to any profit and loss statements, but even if I were I'm afraid we're not allowed to talk about the business aspects of the shop or hotel in general. Sorry.

When I'm in Vegas this coming June I will definitely take a stroll to Bellagio for a small sampling. (if such a thing is possible).
With so many new restaurants to try in Wynn I had planned no excursions outside the hotel but you've definitely changed my mind!
Posted 18 January 2005 - 09:49 AM
I wanted to try the desserts, but made do with a chocolate croissant (excellent) and a double espresso. I planned to come back in the afternoon for some cake but unfortunately I never made it. My loss.
The place was totally packed by the time I left at 8:45 a.m. or so. Most people seemed to be going for the crepes.
Congratulations, Neil. You guys are doing beautiful work.
Sacher Torte, by the way, is named for the Hotel Sacher, where the cake originated, so the alternative spelling doesn't make a lot of sense to me. (Actually, to be most correct, the cake was named for the Sacher family, who both created the dessert and opened the hotel.)

Thanks so much for the photos! It seems like a very cool and exciting time to be in pastry at the Bellagio. I'm jealous. That's truly inspiring stuff. Congrats on being part of something fantastic!
Hmmmm, you guys still have pastry openings huh? I wonder if my hubby could be convinced to sell the house and move to Vegas

I believe they got samples from several different companies, so I'm not sure who has the final contract. They are insanely elaborate and detailed - the boxes all have hidden magnetic closures (even the tiny two-truffle box), and some are actually made of wood with cherry veneer and little drawers that pull out. Very expensive stuff.
Who are they getting the packaging from?
Oh, by the way - not sure if you noticed, but the dessert pastries are not displayed in a traditional enclosed display case. The counter itself was custom designed and built so that cool, moisture controlled air comes from slots around the pastry and "pools" within an area contained by a low stainless steel barrier. Really tricky considering how dry the air is here.

By SHERILL SHAWContributing writer
When you think about recipes, and you hear the name Audrey Misner, does it ring any bells?
It may well, since the Price City resident's recipes have been featured three times since 2002 in the western edition of the national magazine American Profile. The magazine comes as a free insert in the Sun Advocate every week. It recently featured Audrey's Layered Spinach Salad in its April 16th edition.
"I was surprised that they featured my recipes so many times," she says modestly.
She must be doing something right because her family and friends certainly enjoy her efforts. She has a large collection of recipes but is quick to point out that husband Randy is the 'serious cook' while she tends to favor salads, sandwiches and dips. Her all time favorite food is the Spinach Dip at Groggs.
"I could just eat that stuff all day!" She exclaims.
The mother of two sons and grandmother of one-year-old Jaylee says her family is a motivating force in her quest for good food.
"I want to live to see Jaylee get married and have babies," she says with a smile adding "I didn't realize you could love a grandchild so much!" And that granddaughter gives Audrey a great excuse to practice one of her hobbies, photography.
"I have taken just about every class offered, and have worked with many of the local photography shops. I really love photography!"
Audrey, her twin Heidi and younger sister Karen were born in Germany to a native German mother and an American soldier stationed there. The family moved to the United States when the twins were about two years old. They eventually landed in Price in 1982. After she and Randy married, he joined the army and the new family got stationed in Germany.
"It was so wonderful to be able to see my birthplace and where my mother grew up," she says. "My great aunt lived in the same apartment my great grandmother had, and so I could really get an idea of what it was like growing up for my mother. I could even walk around the corner to the same grocery store she went to as a child."
After about a year they were stationed back in the US and eventually returned to Price.
Audrey had been making a variation of Fried Egg, Tomato and Avocado Sandwich for years when she came across a similar recipe in a magazine. She combined and modified the two recipes and the results are delicious.
Fried Egg, Tomato and Avocado Sandwich
1 TBSP unsalted butter
2 eggs
� tsp salt
� tsp freshly ground pepper
4 slices whole grain or whole wheat bread, toasted
3 tsp mayonnaise
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 medium tomato, cut into 4 slices
� avocado, sliced
2 thin slices red onion
Melt butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs, cook until set. Sprinkle eggs with 1/8 tsp each salt and pepper.
Spread 2 slices of the toasted bread with mayonnaise; spread remaining 2 with Dijon mustard.
Top the mayonnaise-spread slices with a layer of egg, tomato, avocado and onion. Sprinkle with remaining 1/8 tsp salt and pepper. Top with the mustard-spread slices of bread.

Article ID: 297019 - View products that this article applies to.
On This Page
This article contains guidance on the limitations of using of personal folders (.pst) files over a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) link. Note that .pst files are not meant to be a long-term, continuous-use method of storing messages in an enterprise environment.
This article also suggests three alternatives to .pst files:
Additionally, the one supported scenario for networked .pst files is described in this article. The scenario is using Microsoft Outlook 2010 or later versions remotely on a Windows Server 2008 R2 or later Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH).
More information
The Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 team created .pst files in order to let users maintain a copy of their messages on their local computers. The .pst files also serve as a message store for users who do not have access to a Microsoft Exchange Server computer (for example, POP3 or IMAP email users).
However, .pst files are not intended as an enterprise network solution. Although it is possible to specify a network directory or a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path as a storage location for a .pst file, network usage is not meant to be a long-term, continuous-use method of storing messages in an enterprise environment.
A .pst file is a file-access-driven method of message storage. File-access-driven means that the computer uses special file access commands that the operating system provides to read and write data to the file.
This is not efficient on WAN or LAN links because WAN and LAN links use network-access-driven methods. These are commands that the operating system provides to send data to, or receive from, another networked computer. If there is a remote .pst file (over a network link), Outlook tries to use the file commands to read from the file or write to the file. However, the operating system must then send those commands over the network because the file is not located on the local computer. This creates lots of overhead and increases the time that is required to read and write to the file. Additionally, the use of a .pst file over a network connection may result in a corrupted .pst file if the connection degrades or fails.
For more information about issues that you may experience with network storage devices or with servers that host shares, visit the following Microsoft website:
http://blogs.technet.com/askperf/archive/2007/01/21/network-stored-pst-files-don-t-do-it.aspxOther behaviors of .pst files over WAN and LAN links
If there are roaming users in the organization, visit the following Microsoft website:
RecommendationsMicrosoft recommends the following solutions. The first three should be used instead of .pst files over a LAN or WAN. The fourth describes an option for using networked .pst files, but only when Outlook 2010 or later versions are hosted remotely on a Windows Server 2008 R2 or later Remote Desktop Session Host.
Exchange Server 2010 and Exchange Server 2013 Personal Archive mailboxPersonal Archives help you regain control of your organization's messaging data by eliminating the need for personal store (.pst) files and allowing users to store messages in a Personal Archive mailbox accessible in Microsoft Outlook 2007 or later versions, and Microsoft Office Outlook Web App.
For more information about Personal Archives, visit the following Microsoft TechNet website:
Exchange Server with local .ost fileWhen you are working over a WAN or LAN, it is better to configure Microsoft Outlook in Cached Exchange Mode. This caches the Exchange Server mailbox data in a local Offline Folders (.ost) file. This configuration lets the remote client work successfully even without being connected to the server. Be aware that .ost files support local replication, and this means that all folders and their data can be replicated to the .ost files, not just email messages, as is the case when you use remote mail. The use of .ost files is therefore more efficient and more useful. .ost files also do not have a dependency on the availability of the Exchange Server computer (except to synchronize new data from the server to the client and vice versa), because the information is cached in the local .ost file. This improves performance because the information being viewed is stored on the local drive, while the master copy of the data remains on the server, where it can be accessed and backed up. The .ost files also provide data redundancy, and this ensures greater integrity and recoverability of the data.
Microsoft Terminal ServicesIf an enterprise wants to use Outlook over WAN or LAN links, it is highly efficient to configure Outlook to connect to the Exchange Server mailbox in Online mode while using the Microsoft Windows Terminal Server service. With Terminal Services, only the information that is required to update a display is transferred. The potential benefits in having many remote users based on Terminal Services (instead of using either .pst or .ost files) are significant in any network bandwidth conservation analysis.
Outlook 2010 or later versions hosted remotely by using Windows Server 2008 R2 or later Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) configurationOutlook 2010 or later versions functionality is supported when networked .pst or .ost files are used under the following conditions:
Note Customers are responsible for both defining and maintaining adequate network and disk I/O. Microsoft will not assist in troubleshooting slow performance due to networked .pst or .ost files. Microsoft will only assist if the performance issue is reproduced while the .pst or .ost file is located on either a hard disk that is physically attached to the computer that is running Outlook, or on a virtual hard disk (VHD) that is attached to the virtual machine that is running Outlook.
Important Microsoft programs may not work as expected in a third-party application or software virtualization environment. We do not test Microsoft products that are running in third-party application or software virtualization environments.

(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/897615/ )Support policy for Microsoft software running in non-Microsoft hardware virtualization software
Network scalability guidance that is specific to this configuration can be found in the "Cached Exchange Mode in a Remote Desktop Session Host environment: planning considerations (Outlook 2010)" white paper. Although this document specifically refers to Exchange Cached Mode, the scalability metrics should also apply to other Outlook configurations, assuming the criteria that are mentioned in the preceding list are met. To download this white paper as a Microsoft Word document (.docx), visit the following Microsoft website:
Cached Exchange Mode in a Remote Desktop Session Host environment: planning considerations
What to consider when you store .pst filesWhen you store .pst files, shares may stop responding. This behavior may cause several client-side problems, such as causing Outlook to stop responding or freezing desktops on client computers. Queuing in the Server service work queues is what causes this temporary condition. The Server service uses work items, such as a request to extend a .pst file, to handle I/O requests that come in over the network. These work items are queued in the Server service work queues. From there, they are handled by the Server service worker threads. The work items are allocated from a kernel resource that is called the nonpaged pool (NPP). The Server service sends these I/O requests to the disk subsystem. If, for reasons that are mentioned earlier, the disk subsystem does not respond in time, the incoming I/O requests are queued by using work items in the server work queues. Because these work items are allocated from the NPP, this resource eventually runs out. Running out of NPP causes systems to eventually stop responding and to log event ID 2019.
If you troubleshoot this issue, you can usually find evidence of a problem in Poolmon and Perfmon captures. For example, you may see the LSwn pool tag allocation climb in a Poolmon trace. These allocations are made by the Srv.sys program. The size of the allocation is configurable by using the SizReqBuf registry value. One allocation is made for each work item that is used by the Server service. When you use Perfmon to troubleshoot this issue, you see a steady decrease in the "Available Work Items" counter. If "Available Work Items" reaches zero, clients may be unable to access files. You may also experience event ID 2019 errors if the problem is LSwn allocations (NPP depletion). Another tag that indicates .pst file issues is the MmSt tag. This tag represents the Mm section object prototype PTEs, a memory management-related structure that is used for mapped files. (This is the pool tag that is used to map the operating system memory that is used to track shared files.) MmSt issues frequently manifest as paged pool depletion (Event ID 2020).
Exchange Connectivity and Outlook Performance troubleshooting where shared files existIf the environment contains network shared .pst files, make sure that the following guidelines are followed during troubleshooting:
Because of these issues, and the possibility that the shared .pst files may be the cause of client performance issues, the Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Office Outlook support teams must take these actions when troubleshooting.

Hello my name is Ozzy and I am new to Quake Live. I have been playing the game for about a week now and I think it is incredible! There is only one problem. I play a lot of CS 1.6 and TF2 and my sensitivity does not feel the same on quake.
Here is my equipment information:
Mouse: Razer Deathadder
Pad: Steelseries QcK
In game sens: 3.5
In/360: 12 (roughly)
Does anyone know how to match the sensitivities for Quake to that of Source games?
Any help is appreciated and I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section.

Title: Cloud Computing and the Xen Community
Abstract: The Xen Hypervisor open source project was founded in 2003 as a direct result of Cambridge Universities XenoServer research project that defined Cloud Computing as we know it today. In 2006 Amazon Web Services built their business on top of Xen, followed by Slicehost and many other cloud and hosting providers. In other words: the Xen project provided the technology that enabled many multi-million dollar businesses to thrive. However, until recently cloud and service providers have not been active members of the Xen community. This talk will look at characteristics of the Xen community, its evolution over time, consider licensing and related topics. We will also look at incentives to engage service providers and help them become more active members of your open source community.
Speaker: Michael Meeks
Title: LibreOffice: turning vinegar into wine
Come and hear the story of how the development community around LibreOffice was created from the ashes of the OpenOffice.org project. Hear some of the lessons we learned from both projects, and the ways we use to ensure that corporations play a constructive role with an interest in a diverse developer community. Hear a detailed rational for our release process, and how it helps to reduce problems around conflicting goals. Hear about our progress to date, see some community diversity metrics we track, and more. Finally enjoy a gratuitous plug for our new features and functionality.
Michael is a Christian and enthusiastic believer in Free software. He very much enjoys working for SUSE where as the Linux Desktop Architect he tries to understand and nudge the direction of our Linux investment. He has appreciated working on various pieces of infrastructure and applications over the years: from GNOME office, through component technologies, to Evolution, Accessibility, MeeGo, and latterly LibreOffice much of the time. Prior to this he worked for Quantel gaining expertise in both hardware and software for real time on-line AV editing systems. Speaker: Ros Turk
Abstract: The Dangers of Apathetic Abstraction
What began as a vague shape on a diagram (indicating something so incomprehensibly vast the diagrammer decided against trying to draw it) has changed everything. Yesterday, the network was out of your control and too complicated to understand; now your entire operation is. But one thing hasn't changed: you probably don't care how most of it works, just that it continues to. Every day, scores of excited entrepreneurs build new companies on cloud infrastructure without a second thought. Every day, established companies relinquish their data centers. The reason is clear: it's far easier to build something amazing when you can stop paying attention to what makes large portions of it work. Abstraction is not having to worry how underlying technology functions; apathetic abstraction is not caring. This session will discuss how to avoid the danger of relying on something you don't control and don't understand.
Biography: Ross Turk is Vice President of Community for Inktank, responsible for building a strategic relationship with users, contributors, and the open source community.

Josef AlbersAmerican, born Germany (Bottrop, Germany, 1888 - 1976, New Haven, Connecticut)
Homage to the Square: Confident
From 1949 until his death in 1976, Josef Albers created a series of paintings titled Homage to the Square. These works explore the artist's endless fascination with the discrepancy between how colors look when seen one at a time and how they appear in different combinations. In his writings on color theory, Albers noted that the way we experience color varies based on our individual personalities and on factors such as hue, dimension, and placement.
Albers chose the square for its neutrality: he felt that such a common shape would not distract viewers from their experience of color. To create a "pure" experience, he applied his pigments directly from the tubes in which they came, spreading them in thin layers onto the surface of the canvas.

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — China unveiled the makeup of its top Communist Party leadership body Thursday, elevating Vice President Xi Jinping, as expected, though some analysts worried about whether the new team would be able to guide the economy smoothly.
Thursday's announcement meant that Xi becomes China's leader-in-waiting ahead of a formal handover due to take place next March, when he is slated to assume the presidency.
Vice Premier Li Keqiang was named the party's No. 2, putting him on the path to take over as premier in March.
The Communist Party also said that its top Politburo Standing Committee would be streamlined to seven positions instead of nine previously.
China's new leaders and Bo's trial
Hu Jintao officially steps down as China's party chief on the last day of the 18th Party Congress. What can we expect from the next generation of leaders and how might the Bo Xilai saga be remembered?
The elevation of Xi and Li to the nation's top two posts was widely expected, and they would succeed incumbents President Hu.Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao.
But several analysts and China watchers expressed concern that responsibility for the economy would go to a set of less experienced hands.
Vice Premier Wang Qishan, highly regarded for economic problem-solving skills, appears to be set to take up the role of anti-corruption tsar — though he too was named a member of the Standing Committee.
"That signals a more serious attempt at tackling corruption within the party, but it also means that Wang's day-to-day influence on economic policy will shrink," William McCahill of Religare Capital Markets in Beijing said.
Reports also cited hopes that Wang would have been picked to lead financial reform in China.
Responsibility for the economy
Instead, responsibility for the economy appears headed to Li and fellow Standing Committee member Zhang Gaoli, although no official word on formal allocation of portfolio responsibilities was given.
"It's hard to tell where they might take things," McCahill said, adding that both individuals had mixed records on economic management.
Li's economic experience include positions as party secretary at the provincial level in Henan and Liaoning, although "he didn't leave much of a trail of accomplishments there," McCahill said.
Zhang, former party leader in Shenzhen in the late 1980s, helped oversee the transformation of the border town into a gleaming glass and steel metropolis. More recently he has been behind an effort to reposition the northern city of Tianjin as a financial center.

H.B. Fuller to Close Five Plants in Europe Following Forbo Acquisition
May 31, 2012 | Ian Young
H.B. Fuller will close five manufacturing plants in Europe during the next two years with the loss of about 100 jobs, raising its total number of announced job cuts to 370.
