POTSDAM - The SUNY Potsdam basketball, mens hockey and swimming and diving teams competed in a full slate this past week.
The womens basketball team hosted Hamilton College in a non-conference and then returned to SUNYAC play versus Oneonta and SUNY New Paltz over the weekend. The Bears fell to the Continentals on Tuesday, 62-54. Junior forward Jessica Kouzan (Webster, N.Y.) and sophomore forward Bailey Weigel (Williamsville, N.Y.) each notched 15 points. On Friday, Oneonta defeated Potsdam, 57-39. Junior guard Chenice Russell (Moira, N.Y.) led the Bears with 10 points. On Saturday, the undefeated SUNY New Paltz Hawks downed Potsdam, 71-55. Senior guard Katy Briedis (Canton, N.Y.) was to the top scorer with 14 points.
The mens basketball team swept all three games over the past week.
Potsdam hosted Utica College and then resumed SUNYAC play versus Oneonta and SUNY New Paltz. The Bears ousted the Pioneers on Tuesday, 79-66.
Senior guard Mark Lake, Jr (Harlem, N.Y.) totaled 18 points and eight rebounds. Potsdam then defeated Oneonta State 82-62 Friday evening. Lake recorded a career-high 25 points in the win over the Red Dragons. However, the senior would shatter his scoring high in a double overtime victory over New Paltz on Saturday. The Bears would go into halftime up 46-38 over the Hawks. New Paltz would soar back and claim the
78-72 lead with 1:50 remaining in regulations. Junior forward Colin Peterson (Hilton, N.Y.) answered with a three-pointer 23 seconds later, followed by a steal and a layup from Lake to close to 78-77 with 43 seconds on the clock. Potsdam then forced the Hawks to the free throw line, but New Paltz was only able to hit three of five and layups from sophomore forward Zac Adams (Potsdam, N.Y.) and Lake allowed the Bears to tie the game at 81 with just three seconds left. Both teams battled back-and-forth during the first overtime. The trend continued early in the second overtime, but a 10-3 run capped by a Peterson three-pointer, allowed the Bears to open up a 95-88 lead. The Bears then put the game away by hitting all 10 of their remaining free throws to go onto the 10-point victory. Lake led the Bears with a career best 34 points in the thrilling win.
The mens hockey team continued their 13 game road slate over the weekend against Morrisville State and Hamilton College. On Saturday, the Bears fell in overtime to Morrisville, 5-4. A costly penalty in OT would hurt Potsdam as the Mustangs found the back of the net with one tick remaining on the clock. The Bears then went into another overtime contest against Hamilton on Sunday. Potsdam entered the extra period of play down a man.
The Bears were able to kill the powerplay but just three seconds after the Continentals connected with the game-winning goal to win, 3-2. Junior forward Adam Place (Scarborough, Ontario) recorded a goal in each game.
The swimming and diving team split in their first meet of the New Year versus St. Lawrence University on Saturday. The men swam past the Saints 145-116, while the women fell 150-102. The Potsdam mens team was led by senior Alexander Taylor (Port Ewen, N.Y.) with three individual victories and a relay win. Taylor posted wins in the 1,000 free (10:16.46), 500 free (5:12.59) and the 100 free (51.52). Freshman Tyler Zapisek (Syracuse, N.Y.) added two first place finishes in the 200 free (1:53.28) and 100 butterfly (55.93). Sophomore Dan Costa (Spencerport, N.Y.) recorded two wins in the 100 back
(57.99) and 50 free (23.19). Senior Marcus Domfort (East Greenbush, N.Y.) touched the wall first in the 200 butterfly (2:15.53) and the
200 IM (2:11.37). Freshman Chris Carlini (Endwell, N.Y.) earned a win in the 100 breast (1:07.60) and junior Jeremy Rose (New Hartford, N.Y. / New Hartford) added a victory in the 200 breast (2:27.81). The relay team of Costa, Carlini, Zapisek, and Domfort won the
400 medley relay in 3:52.55. The team of Taylor, Carlini, Zapisek, and sophomore Taylor Vander Plaat (Warwick, N.Y.) earned a victory in the 400 free relay (3:39.21). Two lady Bears recorded individual victories during the meet. Sophomore Victoria Blakeslee (Gloversville, N.Y.) led the Bears with wins in the 1,000 free (11:45.24) and the 500 free (5:42.38). Senior Liz Ringer (Queensbury, N.Y.) finished with two first place finishes in the 100 butterfly (1:04.33) and the 200 IM (2:24.73). Blakeslee was joined by teammates Emily Kanoza (Syracuse, N.Y.), Jackie Ranieri (Rotterdam, N.Y.), and Paige Montroy (Cape Vincent, N.Y.) to secure the win in the 400 free relay (4:09.50).
Senior Mark Lake, Jr. is the Bears male performer of the week. Lake led the Bears to a 3-0 record this past week. The senior posted a career-high
25 points in a second half surge past Oneonta on Friday. He then broke his scoring high with a huge performance versus New Paltz. The Harlem, N.Y.
native scored a career best 34 points and lifted Potsdam to a 105-95 double OT victory over the Hawks on Saturday. Lake averaged 25.6 points-per-game, while shooting 66% from the floor, 62% from beyond the arc, and 80% at the free throw line.
Sophomore Victoria Blakeslee is the Bears female performer of the week.
Blakeslee led the Bears with wins in the 1,000 free (11:45.24) and the 500 free (5:42.38). She then teamed up with teammates Emily Kanoza, Jackie Ranieri, and Paige Montroy to secure the win in the 400 free relay (4:09.50).

|Crawdads Beat RiverDogs, Win Third Straight
|Written by Staff Reports
|Friday, 27 May 2011 07:58
The Hickory Crawdads beat the Charleston RiverDogs, 6-4, in a slightly rain-shortened game, before 1,991 fans at L.P. Frans Stadium on Thursday night.The Crawdads had retired one out in the top of the ninth inning before the umpires called for the rain delay, which lasted for 40 minutes before the game was called and the 'Dads
registered the win.
Hickory (26-20) broke a scoreless tie with a run in the struck for the bottom of the fourth. Josh Richmond led off the inning with a solo home run, his fifth of the year, giving the 'Dads the 1-0 lead. The RiverDogs (20-27) came right back with two runs in the top of the
fifth. Rob Segedin came through with a two-out, two-run single that gave the RiverDogs in front, 2-1. Ramon Flores' followed with a base hit, but Segedin was thrown out at the plate.
Hickory tied things up with a run in the bottom of the fifth. Jurickson Profar led off the inning with a solo home run (the second lead-off home run by the Crawdads in the game) that tied the game, 2-2. And the Crawdads took the lead for good in the bottom of the sixth. Tomas Telis and Richmond led-off the inning with consecutive walks. Both runners advanced on a sacrifice bunt, and both scored one- out later on Jake Skole's two-run single. Skole then scored from first on a single by Alejandro Selen that was compounded by an error on CF Slade Heathcott for a 5-2 lead.
Flores ignited a River Dogs' rally in the seventh with an RBI single that was misplayed by SKole in left field allowing two runs to score. That made it a 5-4 game, but Hickory responded with its third lead off home run of the
game in the bottom of the seventh, thanks to Teodoro Martinez, who smacked his first home run of the year, handing the Crawdads an insurance run and a 6-4 lead.
Reyes dealt a scoreless eighth inning and gave way to Ryan Rodebaugh, who picked up his fourth save, in the ninth/ But the rains came after Rodebaugh struck out the first batter he faced. That forced a rain delay and the umpires called the contest 40- minutes later.

Last Letters From Monte Rosa
War, Drama
It's 1944 and Lieutenant Brüchner leads a German reserve defensive unit hemmed in by guerrilla attacks from Italian partisans and desperate for food supplies and reinforcements from Mussolini's remaining loyalists. Hungry, filthy, and demoralized, the Germans suffer constant threat from the local partisans and allied bombings almost daily. Yet when the Italian reinforcements of Lieutenant Gianini arrive, they are reluctant to fight against fellow Italians in a war that many of them already see as a lost cause.

CrockPot Chai Tea Latte Recipe
Day 342.
I'm not a big fan of tea---it comes across as sort of bland and non-committal, but I like a Chai Tea Latte once in a while. I have gotten a few emails asking if I could make them in the crockpot, so yesterday I did. I ended up combining a few recipes because many of the ones on the Internet ask for "chai spices" or some sort of "chai concentrate" that I didn't want to buy (and it sort of seemed like cheating). I did have to buy cardamom pods, and was surprised at how expensive they were (they're less expensive than the ground, but oh my, this must be a luxury-spice or something.) I'm going to head over to Lydia's later to figure out what to do with my leftover cardamom.
The Ingredients.
--4 cups milk
--4 black tea bags
--1/4 tsp ground cloves
--1/2 tsp ginger
--4 sticks cinnamon (or 2 tsp ground)
--4 cardamom pods
--1 tsp vanilla extract
--1 T sugar (I like the Baker's because it dissolves nicely)
The Directions.
This will serve 2-4 adults, dependent on how much they like tea.
Put everything into your crockpot. I used a 4 quart. Anything over a 2 quart will work just fine. Float the cinnamon sticks, cardamon pods, and tea bags on top.
Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, or until heated through. I cooked ours on low for 2 hours and another hour on high.
Press the tea bags against the side of the crockpot with a spoon to release the last bit of tea-goodness and ladle into mugs.
The Verdict.
Out of the different hot beverages I've made this year, this was our least favorite, but it's because we just aren't fans of tea. Adam and I joked that a shot of espresso would really liven it up. But! If you like tea, and are spending $4 for a grande Chai Tea Latte a few times a week, you should give this a try. I put it on before we left for the town's tree lighting ceremony, and the house smelled marvelous when we returned.
next on my list to try is a gingerbread latte. mmm.
AH! added 2.5 minutes after posting: Lydia does indeed rock. Here's a beautifully written explanation of cardamom pods. I have a new-found respect for them.
other coffee-bar type drinks you might enjoy:
pumpkin spice lattes
peppermint mochas/peppermint hot chocolate
gingerbread latte

Thanks so much for trying this! Chai is a very occasional treat for me, but making it in the crock could mean many more occasions :)
- December 7, 2008 at 9:15 AM
Just a note. I also love Chai tea. There is a brand called Stash that makes Chai tea bags. It comes in a red box. Its basically just black tea and the spices, you brew it and add your own milk and honey. Very quick, easy, cheap chai tea. They also make the same thing but its Double Spice and its the best thing in the world!

You can use some of your cardamom to perfume a rice pilaf. Heat oil in a heavy frying pan and sautee about 8 pods for a minute or two, along with 10 whole cloves and a stick of cinnamon. If the pan has a lid, you can use it as a shield because the pods puff up and sometimes explode, which is quite thrilling. Then dump 2 cups of basmati rice in the pan and stir for several minutes until the rice just starts to turn golden, add 4 cups of water (and if you have any saffron you can throw some of that in too) and simmer, covered, for 15minutes, then turn the heat down as low as it will go and cook another 10 minutes. If you do use saffron, take about a teaspoonful of the threads and mash them up with a spoon, then add a tablespoon or so of hot water and stir. Then add the safron water to the rice/water and stir.
By the way, this has little to do with crockpots. It's just a way to protect you from using any of the cardamom for more crockpot chai.

Did this have a strong vanilla flavor? I'm wondering because my daughter loves Dunkin Donuts vanilla chai and I'm thinking this might be a good substitute.

I love Chai Latte's and its been awhile since I've had one, so I should give this a try.
With your cardamom pods you should make Slow Cooker Butter Chicken: http://themealplanner.blogspot.com/2008/09/slow-cooker-butter-chicken.html

Kindra! I'm so glad that you reminded me of this chicken recipe, I totally forgot. I'm so sorry. I don't know if I'll get to it this year, but I will try it out---it sounds amazing.

This sounds great! Wish I could have given you some of my cardamom pods. I got a 1 pound bag for $4.50 at an Indian grocery store down the street from me, but I only needed 4 pods for my recipe. I highly recommend checking out ethnic grocery stores for cheap high quality spices. I got a pound for less money than a tiny jar at the regular grocery store, and they have lots of more exotic spices that are fun to try out! Can't wait to use some of my cardamom in the chai!
LOVE your blog!

I'm so glad you found some good info about cardamom in my pantry! Your recipe sounds amazing, and as I've promised to learn more about how to use my slow cooker, this is going right on my list of recipes to try.

- Joanna said...
i am also shocked at how expensive cardamom pods are!!! vanilla bean, saffron, and cardamom pods are the most expensive spices (can't remember where i learned that).
i love vanilla bean and saffron, but i'm not willing to fork out the big bucks on caradamom- i just can't think of enough stuff to do with it.
- December 7, 2008 at 9:09 PM
I buy cardamom primarily to make rice-- very similar to what MCM described. It is marvelous!!
I also use it for special holiday baked goods-- it is totally worth the price. It makes them fantastic.

I am for sure trying this. I love tea!! and I must say . . . I'm kind of sad the year is almost up. What will I do every evening if I can't read about the latest crock pot adventure!!

We had an open house this weekend and I made the mulled wine in my big oval crokpot. Dumped everything in around noon and by the time guests arrived id was wonderful. My Trader Joes is a no alcohol store so I bought a Box-O Wine. Franzia. it is a 5 litre and I used most of it and bought OJ with pulp floated some slices and added sugar and spice to taste. It was a big hit, Thanks
- December 8, 2008 at 3:07 AM
- theMom said...
Wow, I didn't know how much I didn't know about cardamom.
I married into a Norwegian American tradition and I only know it as an ingredient in the yummy baked goods all the ladies turn out at Christmas: braided breads, muffins, cookies...Oh, I also have made a fruit salad coating that mixes vanilla, cardamom and brown sugar into sour cream. Really good on grapes!
How interesting to me that this exotic and expensive spice found it's way into Scandinavian culinary tradition which is fondly called blond and bland (and thrifty). I guess the powdered cardamom fits the blond part better than say, cinnamon...
And I second Alisha Joy in that I will miss checking on the daily crock pot update. Will you consider doing anything for 2009?
- December 8, 2008 at 9:58 AM
I'm looking forward to the gingerbread latte recipe.
Your pumpkin latte was a HIT at Thanksgiving and our Sunday Gathering.

I don't like sweetened or spiced teas myself; but, I do love flavored coffeee so I'm going to try this with individual coffee bags - folgers makes some in reg and decaf - and see what i come up with!

Has anyone else tried this? I just did, and it is sooo not like the chai I am used to. Steph, I hate tea, but just in the past few weeks have become a chai addict. I am going to keep working on a chai recipe. Maybe I'll find one we both love! I tried another this evening too, and it was awful...hmm off I go to try some more things. ohhhh the wasted pods!!!
- December 13, 2008 at 6:15 PM
- Howdy said...
I noticed in your recipe you say to squeeze the tea bag... and this may be the reason you don't like tea.
Your tea will be bitter when you do this - we drink both coffee and teas and I learned years ago that both my hot and 'iced' tea are better tasting without the squeeze.
I'm happy to see that so many (most) of your recipes are GF... we are learning to adjust our family recipes to accommodate my daughters change in diet. We had a lovely delicious holiday meal this week and I look forward to sending her a link to your blog. Thanks!

I think most people make their tea too weak. I would try making this with a couple more tea bags, and probably more sugar.

IIRC, you are fond of Thai food, so you could try using cardamom to make your own Thai iced coffee. Google will produce many recipes, but the common spices used are cardamom, cinnamon, and star anise. Also, cardamom shortbread is To. Die. For. Lastly, my husband bought a 3.5 oz package of cardamom powder at an Indian grocery for $3.49, still expensive but much less than $16 (I think) for a 1-oz Spice Islands jar at the grocery store.
Cheers, and thanks for all the inspiration!

I paid about 50 cents for a handful of cardamom pods at Sprouts.
I made this tonight, and it's now chilling out in the fridge - ready to go over ice in the morning (it's still warm here!)

I am so used to buying herbs in bulk, & rarely pay more than a couple of dollars! (Mountain Rose is a great source for herbs, oils, clay, etc.
I love to use a bit of cardamom in things, & just peel & grind the inner seeds in a wee mortar & pestal when I need to. (just used 3 in a recipe the other day)
When I lived at a resort, one of my housemates worked in the kitchen, & would brew up fresh chai every few days, chopping fresh ginger, & using whole spices. The other housemate & I would gladly drink it, but rarely helped (he sounded like the little red hen - 'you gals could make it, too!') - it was SO good! I don't think he added the tea till later (& prob bulk, rather than bags!)
I would try a blend of 3 tsp rooibos, 3 tsp green tea, steeping those for < 5 minutes just before drinking, steeping tea for 2 hours brings out all the tanins & makes it bitter!
For a group, each person could steep a bag of tea of their choice in their cup of the Chai latte spices.
& I'd use coconut milk :)

Here's an idea for using your cardamom in coffee. In the crockpot, combine a pot of strong coffee (8-10 c.), 1c. sugar, and some cinnamon sticks and cardamom pods. Serve with a dollop of whpped cream on top.

This is way late, but you can buy a quarter pound of cardamom seeds at an Indian grocery store for about the same as one of those little jars in the supermarket. It's insane how much they rip us off on spices we are unfamiliar with!

- lesbrarian said...
Hi Steph: I've been making this recipe every two or three days since I discovered it here a coupla months ago. The one change worth mentioning (and this is true too of the gingerbread latte) is that it works better with whole spices. Ground spices give the beverage a silty texture. Use whole spices and strain them out at the end. (Straining lets you use loose-leaf tea, too, if you prefer).
Also: I do about double the cardamom, but I only use the seeds. Not sure it really makes a difference whether you remove the pods or not, but I do recommend the extra cardamom.

I've found that my slow cooker chai goes sour if I try to store it in the fridge, or make it over night.
Any ideas on stopping this problem?
Also, I Adore cardamon. So good :)

Made this as it is the first time... tasted okay, so I made a few tweaks: use whole spices (like someone else recommended), take the seeds out of the cardamom pods, used 3c milk & 3c water, use 6bags of tea (will work with decaf next time) & 4 tbsp confectioner sugar (will try honey or agave next time). This one was almost as good as the ones I've been spending my $$ on... = )
Thanks for the recipes Stephanie.. already have a few that I'm going to try. Keep up the good work.

I would make a very small change, snip the strings & tags from the teabags before you add them in...

Apparently adding a shot of espresso to a chai latte is called a "dirty chai". Never tried it myself but it sounds interesting.

Any suggestions on using ground cardamom versus pods, since I already have ground cardamom in my cupboard? I REALLY want to try this, but I have no idea how to go about coverting it out :/

With summer rapidly approaching Princess P is in need of some new baby shoes. Especially some with no-slip soles for the rainy, muddy weather we all are accustomed to here in the south. So when I found the Beige T-Bar Smiley shoes from ShooShoos I knew she had to have them.
ShooShoos makes the most adorable line of soft-soled baby shoes for boys and girls. Their sizes range from 0-6 months to 24-28 months. And you can even download and print ShooShoos sizing chart to make sure you get the perfect fit.
Princess P absolutely loves her new Smiley shoes and I do too! The Velcro closer allows me to slide her foot right in. And the elastic in the ankles keeps the shoes on her feet. The sole is extremely flexible and lightweight. Perfect for little one's who are just learning to walk. And the detail on the soft soled shoes is simply adorable. But one of my favorite features is actually on the bottom of the shoes. Along with the no-slip sole, the Smiley shoes have actual smiley faces on them. So as you little one trots along, they are leaving smiles behind them. How cute is that?

Ok, so over the holidays I have acquired a digital camera WITH FLOWER MODE! (insert fanfare and loud cheers)
However, I just used said camera to take some piccies of my latest L00tz and the photo quality is disappointing, as can be seen with the examples below:
As you can see, the camera focuses very well on far away stuff, ie my racecar mouse in the background. However, I am stumped as to what to do about getting the darn thing to focus on my legosssss.
Any tips/tricks/youboneheadjustflipXswitchandit'llallbeoks will be appreciated.

LISBON State police on Monday charged Mikael A. Putney, 25, Lisbon, with false personation, a class B misdemeanor.
Troopers said that on March 8 at the intersection of county routes 28 and 21, they responded to a property damage accident involving a possible driving while intoxicated. When they arrived at the scene, troopers said, they found two men passed out in a vehicle in a field. The passenger identified himself as Kevin Putney. Troopers took him to his residence and later learned through an anonymous compliant March 12 that the passenger was in fact Mikael, who was on probation, and if he was found to be intoxicated, would have been in violation of his probation. With the assistance of probation, Mikael was brought in and charged.
He was issued a ticket for Lisbon Town Court.

Vatican City (Holy See)
The Vatican City State is situated on the Vatican hill, on the right bank of the Tiber River, within the city of Rome.
The pope has full legal, executive, and judicial powers. Executive power over the area is in the hands of a commission of cardinals appointed by the pope. The College of Cardinals is the pope's chief advisory body, and upon his death the cardinals elect his successor for life.
The Vatican City State, sovereign and independent, is the survivor of the papal states that in 1859 comprised an area of some 17,000 sq mi (44,030 sq km). During the struggle for Italian unification, from 1860 to 1870, most of this area became part of Italy. By an Italian law of May 13, 1871, the temporal power of the pope was abrogated, and the territory of the papacy was confined to the Vatican and Lateran palaces and the villa of Castel Gandolfo. The popes consistently refused to recognize this arrangement. The Lateran Treaty of Feb. 11, 1929, between the Vatican and the kingdom of Italy, established the autonomy of the Holy See.
The first session of Ecumenical Council Vatican II was opened by John XXIII on Oct. 11, 1962, to plan and set policies for the modernization of the Roman Catholic Church. Pope Paul VI continued the council, presiding over the last three sessions. Vatican II, as it is called, revolutionized some of the church's practices. Power was decentralized, giving bishops a larger role, the liturgy was vernacularized, and laymen were given a larger part in church affairs.
On Aug. 26, 1978, Cardinal Albino Luciani was chosen by the College of Cardinals to succeed Paul VI, who had died of a heart attack on Aug. 6. The new pope took the name John Paul I. Only 34 days after his election, John Paul I died of a heart attack, ending the shortest reign in 373 years. On Oct. 16, Cardinal Karol Wojtyla, 58, was chosen pope and took the name John Paul II. Pope John Paul II became the first Polish pope and the first non-Italian pope since the 16th century.

Land Use Change in Indonesia

News PhotoAgriculture,Asia,Brick,Business,East Java Province,Economy,Farm,Farmer,Field,Food,Freight Transportation,Horizontal,Indonesia,Land,Making,Material,Mud,Occupation,Outdoors,Southeast Asia,Sugar,Sugar Cane,Transportation,VillagePhotographer Arief PriyonoCollection: LightRocket © 2013 Arief PriyonoKEDIRI, EAST JAVA, INDONESIA - 2013/09/28: Workers transport mud, the raw material for making bricks, in a sugarcane field in Silir village. Many farmers in Indonesia have had to convert agricultural land because it is no longer profitable. Consequently Indonesian agricultural production has declined. Although Indonesia is an agricultural country, it still has to rely heavily on imported food staples such as rice, sugar, soybeans and corn. The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) announced that the number of farming households in Indonesia has decreased by 5.04 million families in the past 10 years. The 2003 Census of Agriculture claimed 31.17 million farm households. But in 2013 the number had fallen to 26.13 million. Indonesia has been listed as the world's largest sugar exporter. In 1930, when Indonesia was still called the Dutch East Indies, some 179 sugar factories produced over 3 million tons of sugar each year. Currently there are only 62 sugar factory in Indonesia..

The fastest land animal in North America, pronghorn can travel at speeds of up to 65 miles per hour. Today, pronghorn inhabit open grasslands, sagebrush, and desert habitats in all the western states, as well as several Canadian provinces and Mexican states. Annual pronghorn migrations are astonishing sights, with herds numbering in the hundreds traveling great distances to leave deep snow areas. One of the most famous is the "Path of the Pronghorn," stretching over 100 miles from Grand Teton National Park to the Upper Green River Basin in Wyoming. WCS scientists discovered this to be the longest migration of an ungulate in the lower 48 states, formally named it, and helped make it the first federally protected wildlife migration corridor.
Pronghorn are a uniquely North American ungulate. Evolving alongside the long-extinct North American cheetah, which caught prey in a short dash, forced the pronghorn to become both a sprinter and an endurance runner. Whether escaping from danger or making long-distance migrations to find food, movement comes easily for pronghorn and is the species' primary survival strategy.
WCS has assembled one of the largest and longest-term data sets on pronghorn in the Upper Green River Basin of Wyoming, where we are studying the impacts of energy development on the species. By tracking the movements and monitoring the survival of hundreds of animals since 2005, WCS is helping to identify the conditions that will allow pronghorn to persist in the multiple-use landscapes of North America today. Our goal with this research is to understand how energy development may impact pronghorn populations in order to inform how and whether development should proceed in Wyoming. This work could serve as a model for other regions where pronghorn are found, helping private landowners, management agencies and industry, including natural gas and mining operations, develop the west in a way compatible with pronghorn and other iconic wildlife.
In addition, WCS is looking into predator-prey dynamics affecting some pronghorn populations. In the Jackson Hole area, for example, pronghorn numbers have declined since the early 1990s, to approximately 200. The reintroduction and expansion of wolves in the region may positively impact the pronghorn population by limiting coyote numbers. Finally, WCS-North America's Corridor Conservation Initiative is playing a crucial role in maintaining open corridors that will allow pronghorn to continue moving freely and will protect astonishing annual migrations. The initiative aims to protect and interlink crucial habitats through field-based research, outreach, and policy, preserving a basic need for pronghorn and other North American species.
Food, water, shelter, and the freedom to roam—these are the basic needs of wildlife. WCS-North America works to protect and interlink crucial wildlife habitats through field-based research, outreach, and policy.
Scientists from WCS have worked for over a decade to protect pronghorn migrating along a 100-mile long path to and from Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park. Jeff Burrell, WCS Northern Rockies Program Coordinator, knows that if this corridor is severed, pronghorn will be lost from the park.
The U.S. highway system includes more than 4 million miles of road. Roads crisscross even the most remote parts of the country, fragmenting habitat and causing regular encounters between motorists and wildlife.
Writing an op-ed for the Casper Star-Tribune, WCS Conservation Scientist Jon Beckmann explores how pronghorn make their way through the western United States. Safe passages allow North America's fastest land mammal to safely navigate the 100-mile route between Grand Teton National Park and Wyoming's Upper Green River Basin.
WCS celebrates newly minted highway crossing structures that help keep Wyoming's roads safe for drivers and ensure a healthy future for migrating pronghorn and other wildlife.
A five-year behavioral study shows that pronghorn in Wyoming are losing their wintering grounds to large-scale industrialization.
As pronghorn set out on their long fall journey, new protections are underway to help them reach their destination. WCS conservationists Renee Seidler and Jon Beckmann describe the impressive migration, its formidable obstructions, and a few new ways around them.
WCS embarks on a huge study to ensure safer journeys for pronghorn through their migratory corridor in the American West.
The new book Safe Passages:
Highways, Wildlife and Habitat Connectivity, edited by WCS-North America Program conservationists Jon Beckmann and Jodi Hilty, provides a roadmap for making wildlife-friendly thoroughfares to connect islands of habitat.
Scientists from WCS and the Lava Lake Institute have found a new long-distance migration route for a population of pronghorn antelope in Idaho, hailed as the "true marathoners of the American West."
The U.S. Forest Service designates the nation's first wildlife migration corridor to protect the movement of North America's fastest land animal, the pronghorn. These swift creatures number nearly half a million in Wyoming alone, but the proliferation of gas fields and housing development has sliced up much of their territory.
As western states debate removing the gray wolf from the Endangered Species
List, WCS researcher Dr. Kim Berger speaks out on behalf of an unsuspecting wolf ally: the pronghorn antelope.
What will it take to conserve the Path of the Pronghorn, a trail that our continent's fastest land animal has used since the end of the last Ice Age? In a landscape as famous for its mountains as for its oil fields, WCS scientist Dr. Joel Berger is determined to find out.

Ayuropure is a combination of potent Ayurvedic herbs that work synergistically to help remove natural toxins from the blood, lymph and liver supporting vibrant, healthy skin. According to Ayurveda, a key component to maintaining healthy skin is regular detoxification of the blood. It is not uncommon for improperly digested food, cellular waste and other toxins to accumulate in the blood. The body naturally seeks to rid itself of these toxins by excreting them through the GI tract, urine and sweat. Pitta-related skin irritations and imbalances are often an indication that the system has become overloaded with these natural toxins. Ayuropure helps the body detoxify with herbs that purify the blood and encourage elimination of toxins. These herbs also work to remove excess pitta and to support the skin's natural healing process.

One Crazy Summerby Rita Williams-Garcia
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Eleven-year-old Delphine has it together. Even though her mother, Cecile, abandoned her and her younger sisters, Vonetta and Fern, seven years ago. Even though her father and Big Ma will send them from Brooklyn to Oakland, California, to stay with Cecile for the summer. And even though Delphine will have to take care of her sisters, as usual, and learn the truth about the missing pieces of the past.
When the girls arrive in Oakland in the summer of 1968, Cecile wants nothing to do with them. She makes them eat Chinese takeout dinners, forbids them to enter her kitchen, and never explains the strange visitors with Afros and black berets who knock on her door. Rather than spend time with them, Cecile sends Delphine, Vonetta, and Fern to a summer camp sponsored by a revolutionary group, the Black Panthers, where the girls get a radical new education.
Set during one of the most tumultuous years in recent American history, one crazy summer is the heartbreaking, funny tale of three girls in search of the mother who abandoned them — an unforgettable story told by a distinguished author of books for children and teens, Rita Williams-Garcia.
"Delphine is the pitch-perfect older sister, wise beyond her years, an expert at handling her siblings...while the girls are caught up in the difficulties of adults, their resilience is celebrated and energetically told with writing that snaps off the page." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Delphine's growing awareness of injustice on a personal and universal level is smoothly woven into the story in poetic language that will stimulate and move readers." Publishers Weekly
"The setting and time period are as vividly realized as the characters, and readers will want to know more about Delphine and her sisters after they return to Brooklyn." Horn Book (starred review)
"Emotionally challenging and beautifully written, this book immerses readers in a time and place and raises difficult questions of cultural and ethnic identity and personal responsibility. With memorable characters (all three girls have engaging, strong voices) and a powerful story, this is a book well worth reading and rereading." School Library Journal (starred review)
"Regimented, responsible, strong-willed Delphine narrates in an unforgettable voice, but each of the sisters emerges as a distinct, memorable character, whose hard-won, tenuous connections with their mother build to an aching, triumphant conclusion." Booklist (starred review)
"In One Crazy Summer Williams-Garcia presents a child's-eye view of the Black Panther movement within a powerful and affecting story of sisterhood and motherhood. Monica Edinger, The New York Times
Set during one of the most tumultuous years in recent American history, One Crazy Summer is the heartbreaking, funny tale of three girls who travel to Oakland, California, in 1968 in search of the mother who abandoned them.

Choosing a customized nutrition is not only a modern concept. The phrase "You are what you eat" has become famous since 18th century. Since then the idea that to be well-built and healthy you need to eat quality meals has gained popularity. Nowadays many people are convinced that health can be obtained only by eating correctly. This article can help you to improve your physical appearance and your health with easy to follow tips.
Opt for Fibers Instead of Bad Carbs
One of the first things you have to do is replacing refined white flour foods with whole grain products. Protein-rich cereal grains are a better option than highly processed foods. Whole grains satisfy hunger for long periods of time. Always check the ingredients on the label and try to avoid bad carbohydrates.
The adequate dietary fiber is important for managing a healthy weight by reducing appetite. Eating enough dietary carbohydrates reduces the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Avoid packaged foods in your nutritious diet plan. This is essential since snacks contain tons of sugars and fats.
Increase your serotonin levels with foods like brown rice, lens, and oatmeal.
The Importance of Protein
It is important to eat different kinds of protein each week. Eggs are an excellent source of healthy nutrients. Four eggs per week are considered to be a healthy option. Opt for of skinless poultry, fish and lean meat. Try eating nuts, peas, or seeds. Combine protein foods with fresh vegetables.
Drink Plenty of Water
Changes in your beverage menu are a good start for a healthy nutrition. Try to substitute soft drinks with water (12 Unexpected Reasons to Drink More Water). Between meals drink plenty of water throughout the day. You can also opt for juices or milk but try not to constantly consume them.
Fruit smoothies are a perfect replacement of the classic breakfast. They are better option than fatty and sugary foods like cookies or ice cream. Mix fruits with milk, ice cubes and yogurt to prepare this delicious beverage.
Eat Moderately
Try to change your behavior by eating moderately. This can help you to stay fit and to have an optimal health. Overeating can cause excessive body weight. If you are hungry fill your stomach up with small portions of fruits and vegetables between meals.
Best Foods for Your Customized Nutrition Plan
This plant is very beneficial to add to a meals plan. Fresh beets have lots of phytonutrients, fiber and minerals. Try to eat them unsalted. Beets can be a perfect addition to your salad.
These vegetables are a good choice for a healthy menu. They fill you up while providing you with essential vitamins and minerals. Try to include many servings of cucumbers into your diet. They can be perfectly combined with other products such as yoghurt, cheese and nuts.
The courgettes are tasty summer vegetables that can be cooked with water. Using this technique can result in good eating habits. Try also a recipe with a small quantity of vegetable oil. This tasty vegetable is rich in fiber, making you not feeling hungry.
Vitamins and Minerals
These supplements are an added benefit for your health. Vitamins and minerals are useful but it is recommended to take no more than 1 pill per day. Vitamins C, B and zinc are good for your metabolism. They can also be found in green and orange vegetables, nuts and fruits. It is a good idea to make the avocado a regular part of your meals because this exotic plant is packed with many vitamins and vegetarian proteins.
Start your customized nutrition plan and optimize it for best results. Try to make the diet changes effective for a long time. Combining the new nutrition routine with exercise is a must. Try to set at least 10 minutes daily for physical activity. This practice will help you stay motivated. When you start applying these tips, you will find it easier to make smart nutritious choices.

Karen Davison took this photo of a mantis shrimp her brother Ronald Maynard — who is blind — caught while visiting from Subury, Pennsylvania. They were fishing under the Seaway Drive bridge in Fort Pierce. Davison estimates the shrimp was about 12 inches long.
This brown hoplo as it is believed to be, one of many species of armored catfish, was found floating dead in the St. Lucie River in March 2010 by Roberty Kaidy of Stuart of Ocean5 Naval Architects. (Photo provided by Robert Kaidy)
Bonefish, like this one caught by Capt. Charlie Conner of Fish Tales Guide Service in Fort Pierce can be caught in the Indian River Lagoon and along area beaches usually on baits fished on the bottom. Although similar to the sporty bonefish of the flats of the Florida Keys, the Treasure Coast bones are a subspecies called the deepwater bonefish. (Photo provided by Capt. Charlie Conner)
A lizardfish lies in the sand in this photo. The Treasure Coast inshore waters have many lizardfish that can be caught by anglers fishing with small baits and jigs.
The opossum pipefish is very unique in that it spends its juvenile days camouflaged in the Sargassum weeds of the great ocean blue. But once it reaches adulthood, it travels upstream to spend its mature days in nearly freshwater rivers such as the St Lucie River. A 2001 paper published with the American Fisheries Society evaluated the O. pipefish as being a threatened marine species due to habitat degradation and nearshore use of herbicides.
Beau Yeiser, a biologist with the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission talks with onlookers about the 13-foot sawfish that was found dead in the St. Lucie River in June.
JENSEN BEACH - Aliza Buttari, 10, of Atlantic City, NJ, takes pictures of sea hares, a type of sea slug, that has littered the shoreline of Jensen Beach boardwalk on Tuesday June 24, 2008.
Chauncelor Howell of Port St. Lucie shows the 52-pound pacu he picked up Saturday along the shoreline at River Park in Port St. Lucie. The large fish, native of the Amazon River in South America, was killed by the recent cold weather. Had this fish been taken with rod and reel, it would have beaten the All Tackle World Record by 8 pounds.

Ribbonfish like these, also called Atlantic cutlassfish, are as shiny-sided as aluminum foil and often used as dead trolling baits for species like large king mackerel. They can be caught on jigs in the St. Lucie River and Fort Pierce Inlet.
Alex Kuze photographed this squid after it was caught off the coast of Stuart. It was beleived to be between 23' and 28' long.
Mola mola are the sea's largest ocean-going bony fish reaching weights in excess of 1,000 pounds. Their larvae have been sampled in the Indian River Lagoon.
These lionfish were photographed recently on a reef in the Solomon Islands by Vero Beach diver Mike Ricciardi.

Curiosity and fearlessness are two traits often exhibited by Goliath grouper when divers are nearby. This makes them highly susceptible to overfishing by spearfishermen and is one reason why they receive federal and state protection. photo by Mike Phelan

The extra thick and heavy Husky Heavy Duty Floor Mats are designed for use in heavy-duty applications. They are made for people who enjoy off road adventures and vehicles used on muddy construction sites. Whether you take your vehicle to the ski slope or the beach, drive it in pouring rain or in the dust bowl, the Husky HD Mats will keep the floor dry and clean. They are made to provide real protection in all kinds of weather and all kinds of conditions. The mats are designed to work perfectly in both extreme cold as well as in extreme heat, to always provide perfect protection for your floor against moisture from wet shoes and melting snow, against chemical hazards from salt and all kinds of spills, against sand and mud - saving you hours of tedious cleaning and preserving the value of your vehicle.
Husky Heavy Duty Floor Mats are made in Polydurathene, a patented rubberized thermoplastic material developed specifically for automotive floor protection by Husky Liners. The material stays flexible in the most severe cold. It stays odor free, does not become sticky and retains its feel and durability even when the sun is scorching in the tropics. This exclusive material makes it possible for Husky to guarantee that the Heavy Duty mats will never warp, crack or break. The excellent properties of Polydurathene explain the unsurpassed durability of Husky Heavy Duty floor mats.
The intricate pattern of the mats is designed to keep your feet clean and dry. The high ridges scrape off snow and dirt from your feet. The deep channels between the ridges trap liquids, sand and mud and keep it away from your feet. A high lip around the perimeter contains the dirt and moisture until it is time for cleaning. The surface is made to repel dirt, and the pattern has an open design that is easy to clean. The liners come in custom or semi-custom designs for all parts of your vehicle floor - front seat, second and third row, and the center hump - for maximum protection.
The thickness of these mats and the height of the ridges also provide extra comfort. The high ridges not only keep feet dry and clean, they also provide a comfortable springy feel. Drivers will appreciate the extra thick and soft, reinforced heel pad provided for comfort and durability. If a customer against all odds manages to wear out this heel pad, Husky will replace it.
The Heavy Duty mats are custom made for the most popular vehicles in the market. For other vehicles they come in a semi-custom near-fit, with minor trimming necessary to achieve a perfect fit. The good fit, combined with the stable structure of the thick material, prevents the mat from shifting. To make absolutely sure that the mats do not slide around, Husky has applied their patented SPiN technology, featuring "Sta-Put in place Nibs" that dig into the OEM floor carpeting and hold the mat in place. The mats are also designed to fit OEM anchoring systems, which makes it absolutely impossible for drivers' mats to slide and interfere with the operation of the vehicle.49.46 61.16

I am overall pleased with my car mats. They are well-made and a very compatible color with the interior of my car. They do slip a bit on the driver's side because they are standardized to a lot of car makes and models, and the clips in my Solara don't match the holes in the mats. For that reason and the fact they are not carpet, therefore look more like truck mats than car mats, I gave four instead of five stars on appearance. But this was my choice. Carpet is too hard to keep clean, and the Solara factory carpet mats are way too expensive.Was this review helpful for you?

The Tools Your Dad Wants This Father's Day
Technology giant HP is one of the many companies that started in shed-like premises. Though technically a garage, the structure at 367 Addison Avenue, Palo Alto, Calif., was detached from the main building and was, for all intents and purposes a shed. Inside, Stanford University classmates Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard produced their fledgling company's first product: an audio oscillator, an electronic test instrument used by sound engineers. The shed has since been refurbished and rebuilt and stands today as California Historic Landmark No. 976, "Birthplace of Silicon Valley."
When three men in white suits and respirators crossed her lawn holding Geiger counters—that was the first time Dottie Pease knew about David Hahn's attempt to build a model breeder nuclear reactor in his shed. The men, who were from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, broke the shed up, filled 39 barrels, and sent it all off to a low-level waste disposal site in the Great Salt Lake Desert.
Hahn's 1995 project to produce cheap energy at the bottom of his garden had resulted in dangerous levels of radiation at his Michigan home. Hahn had meticulously collected and refined beryllium, americium from smoke detectors, radium from luminous paint, thorium from gas mantles, and lithium from batteries. The 17-year-old Eagle Scout, who got his scouting merit badge for atomic energy in 1991, realized that he might have accumulated too much radioactive material in one place when he started picking up signals on his home Geiger counter five houses away from his shed. At one point he put some of the material in the trunk of his old Pontiac to split the sources up. When police pulled him over in a unrelated incident, they found what they thought was a home-made atomic bomb in the back.
Of his exposure to radioactivity, Hahn said, "I don't believe I took more than five years off my life."
