Dogs Who Chase Their Tails May Suffer From OCD
When we see a pooch chase its tail, we tend to just dismiss it as a dog being a dog. But there appears to be more to this illogical canine behavior, as researchers from Finland have been able to link it to obsessive-compulsive disorder.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (March 15, 2013) - The William and Mary women's gymnastics team posted its second-best score of the season en route to defeating Yale, 193.300 - 189.525, at Kaplan Arena on Friday evening.
Highlighting a number of outstanding performances by the Tribe were those by freshman Brittany Stover and sophomore Maggie Lundeen. Stover won the all-around title with a school-record score of 39.150, while Lundeen claimed the floor title by tying the school record of 9.925.
Additionally, W&M registered season highs on bars (48.900) and floor (49.125). The team's bars score ranks as the fifth best in school history, while its floor mark is the second-best mark all-time.
The Green and Gold opened the meet on vault, where Stover claimed the individual title with by equaling her career high of 9.825. Senior Jennifer Ware placed second with a 9.700, while junior Larson Lasek placed third with a season-high 9.675. W&M earned a 47.975 in the event.
The Tribe then moved to bars where it tallied a 48.900 - the fifth-best mark in school history. Pritchard won the event by tying her career high of 9.850, which tied for seventh all-time in school history. Stover (9.825) and sophomore Stacia Ruse (9.775) also earned career highs and placed second and third, respectively. Lasek and senior Caitlyn Cook Furr also contributed to the team total with a pair of 9.725's. The score equaled Lasek's career high, while the mark established a career best for Cook Furr.
Lasek highlighted the Tribe's performances on beam and won the event with a career-high 9.775. Stover also came up big with a 9.725 en route to helping the team post a 47.300.
All six gymnasts in W&M's floor lineup totaled scores of 9.750 or better, as the team earned a 49.125 - the second-best mark in school history. Lundeen won the event title by tying the school record with a 9.925, while Pritchard (9.875) and Lasek (9.800) placed second and third, respectively. Pritchard's mark established a career high, while Lasek's matched the best score of her career. Stover (9.775), junior Lacy Cummings (9.750) and Ware (9.750) also posted outstanding performances.
While Stover won the all-around title with a school-record score of 39.150, Pritchard placed second with a 39.025, which ties for the second-best mark in school history. Lasek also registered a career high with a 38.975, which now ranks tied for the sixth-best score all-time at W&M.

17 Christmas Tree Decorations That Make the Holiday Even Merrier
A toothy grin is always fun, but mix it up this year with these inspired designs for your jack-o'-lantern. Plus, learn eight great tips for carving a Halloween pumpkin.More
It may look elaborate but this is fairly easy. Sketch your pattern on the pumpkin's surface with a marker, leaving enough space between dots so holes won't overlap. Punch holes using a power drill and various bits. No drill? Gently hammer copper tubes into the surface like giant cookie cutters. Make a detailed design shine brighter by placing a string of LED lights inside. Neat trick: Wrap them around a mason jar.
Carving a face? Tape transfer paper (available at craft stores) to a pumpkin, draw your design, remove paper and follow your outline.

We arrived in San Francisco too late to accomplish much so we decided to "practice" using the Muni system to get downtown. We figured we'd just check things out so we'd have a better feel for where to go the next day. The first place we walked to was Pier 7. I wanted to take in San Francisco's skyline from the end of the pier.
Pier 7 is the one pier along San Francisco's waterfront that is designated for public fishing. By this time the sun had set and the pier was largely -- but not completely -- deserted. There was still a group of teenage boys fishing at the end of it. They looked a little rough and not too friendly so Darla decided it might be best to steer clear of them. Her plan was thwarted by The Boy, who noticed them bringing in a bat ray as we arrived; they set it down next to a couple of juvenile leopard sharks they'd caught earlier. The Boy demanded a closer look.
I asked what they were going to do with the sharks. One of them looked at me like I was a rube and said, "Eat them, of course!"
Further north along the waterfront, just past Pier 39 and across the street from The Rainforest Cafe, we discovered the Boudin Bakery. It was just after 10:00pm so the bakery was closed but several elaborate sourdough bread animals were on display in the window.
Two days later, the evening of July 4th, we came back to the Boudin Bakery around dusk to find a crowd gathered at the front window. Bakers were hard at work creating more sourdough bread animals like the ones we'd seen in the window a couple nights earlier. One of the bakers, a young lady who turned out to be the daughter of the master baker, noticed Lewis watching her. She called him over to a side entrance where she gave him this sourdough turtle. We stowed it away in our backpack for safekeeping. This turned out to be the last time Lewis and I would see it. Whatever happened to that turtle, Mommie?
The fourth of July is a great time to be along San Francisco's waterfront. The roads are closed to traffic early in the day. Even the street cars and buses that normally run through the area are shut down. By early afternoon, the whole waterfront is transformed into a giant carnival. Street performers and musicians compete for space with vendors selling every kind of light-up trinket imaginable.
Just outside of the Boudin Bakery, this colorfully dressed woman was making balloon figures. Despite her attempts to relate to the children she was clearly a little odd, a fact not lost on Lewis, who was reluctant to talk to her.
With Mom acting as intermediary, The Boy requested a blue and purple butterfly. Balloon Lady groused a little over this request, complaining that butterflies were not particularly challenging. She had just finished explaining to the gathered crowd that larger, more elaborate balloons required a larger, more elaborate tip.
After receiving his balloon, The Boy gave Balloon Lady $4 in change. This was a little more than the going rate but she didn't seem happy to be getting it in the form of coins. Balloon Lady was a little tempermental.
To her credit, Balloon Lady produced a very nice butterfly balloon exactly to The Boy's specifications. He was quite pleased with it.
Just a block away from the Boudin Bakery is the Aquarium of the Bay, originally named Underwater World after its two large acrylic tunnels that run through its center. Images of these two tunnels undoubtedly lure thousands of visitors to the aquarium -- including us. Little did we know that these two tunnels are the aquarium. Except for a few touch tanks, the tunnels are it. Frommers describes this place as "overrated." I'd have to agree. Still, the tunnels are cool!
Lewis thought about touching the bat ray. Then he thought better of it.
Darla had been talking for days about wanting to touch a leopard shark so she was quite pleased to get the opportunity here. This is the one thing that we could do here that we could not do at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Leopard sharks are the most docile kind of shark; these juveniles didn't seem to mind the attention. For the record, leopard sharks are rough to the touch, particularly if you stroke them back-to-front. Bat rays, on the other hand, are soft.
Golden Gate Park is filled with many interesting places, not the least of which is the Conservatory of Flowers which features many rare and beautiful tropical plants housed in an ornate 130 year old Victorian greenhouse.
One wing of the Conservatory featured a special carnivorous plants exhibit called "Chomp!" which included an assortment of pitcher plants, venus flytraps, butterworts, and sundew plants.
Being more than a little concerned about finding a parking place for my 26' RV, we arrived early -- just as the Conservatory opened. We ended up with a great parking spot. Had we arrived even 10 minutes later the situation would have been quite different. This was the first Tuesday of the month, meaning that admission was free. At first I considered this a good thing; before long I realized it had a significant downside as well. You might be surprised by how many people jump at the chance to see tropical plants for free. It wasn't long before there was a line out the door to see the Chomp! exhibit.
"That's my favorite one."
The Chomp! room became increasingly louder and more crowded as time passed. A number of conservatory volunteers patroled the area around the venus flytraps in a vain attempt to protect them from curious visitors who failed to read or to otherwise heed the many signs imploring them not to molest the flytraps. It went something like this:
visitor #1: "Honey, check this out!"
volunteer: "Sir, please step away from the venus flytrap."
visitor #2: "Look at what happens when I..."
volunteer (interrupting): "Please, do NOT touch the flytraps. You'll kill the plant!"
visitor #3: "Watch this!"
volunteer: "Young lady, excuse me. Please don't blow on the flytraps."
visitor #4: "Dad! Look at what happens when you touch this plant!"
volunteer: (sigh)
visitor #5: "You just barely touch these things and..."
volunteer: "BACK AWAY FROM THE FLYTRAP!"
The Boy proved to be a friend of the carnivorous plants. He looked but did not touch.
"OK, Little Man. Let's show your mother what you've learned. You're a venus flytrap and your mom is a little gnat that's just landed on you. What do you do?"
"Nicely done, Boy!"
The most spectacular room in the Conservatory was actually on the opposite end of the building from the carnivorous plant exhibit. The aquatic plants room was filled with a variety of very cool plants.
From the Conservatory, it is only a short walk through Golden Gate Park to the new de Young Museum. We made a brief stop in a nearby tunnel so that The Boy could practice his echo-making technique.
One route between the Conservatory and the de Young goes past this mass planting of Acanthus.
Often my favorite thing about visiting an art museum is the architecture of the building itself. The de Young is no exception. Although the de Young dates back to 1895, this beautiful new $200 million facility is less than two years old. The fascade is made up of metal sheets covered in various patterns of bumps, impressions, and perforations.
There were a number of interesting exhibits at the de Young however the Ruth Asawa wire sculptures were easily my favorite. The intricate designs cast equally intricate shadows which transform the look of the sculpture as one walks around it. Now if only they could have done away with the bright red box on the wall...
On a clear day, the de Young's observation floor offers panoramic views of the city and beyond -- or so I'm told. It was not a clear day in Golden Gate Park, which actually worked to my advantage for this shot. It became one of my favorite images.
One thing The Boy quickly discovered about San Francisco was the presence of eucalypus trees all over the city and -- more to the point -- the collection of bright red eucalyptus leaves that one could find underneath them just sitting there for the taking.
It was all The Boy could do to resist batting around these hanging fragments of charred wood. They formed a giant suspended cube.
San Francisco is known for its beautiful Victorian homes. Postcard Row features six of its best, all designed by the same architect in 1895.
It doesn't take long to figure out why these six houses are referred to as "Postcard Row". They sit across the street from Alamo Square, a popular neighborhood park that provides a perfect vantage point from which to photograph these Victorian beauties with San Francisco's skyline in the background.
A word to the wise: Don't expect to have this view to yourself. There's always going to some guy with a cheesy grin invading your otherwise perfect composition...
Oh, by the way, apparently the show Full House took place in one of these houses. I've never seen the show but I ran into a group of girls who had come just to see the "Full House house," as they put it.
If there's one thing that's synonymous with San Francisco, it's the Golden Gate Bridge. I'd driven across it a couple times as a kid on family vacations but I'd never walked out onto the bridge before. It is designed to be flexible in extreme weather conditions, thus it sways on really windy days. Some people warn that you can get sea sick if you're out on the bridge when this happens. I believe it. Fortunately, on this day it was merely breezy.
The Boy took this opportunity to burn off some energy chasing The Dad.
As any four year old leaf collector will tell you, no matter how perfect the red eucalyptus leaf you've already got, there is always one better. It's just a matter of finding it...
So this perspective looks familiar? That's because everyone and their brother shows up at Spencer Battery to take this photograph. You can too if you drive out to the Marin Headlands. Just know that it will cost you $5 to get back across the bridge into San Francisco. That's cash, by the way. No checks. No credit cards. Don't have $5 cash? No worries. The helpful attendant will take down your information and mail you a bill...for $30!
The Bay Bridge and downtown San Francisco as seen through the Golden Gate Bridge
The second time we showed up at the Golden Gate Bridge it was not quite as clear...or warm. That's summer in San Francisco. We embraced it -- or, more accurately, some of us embraced it.
C=0% M=69% Y=100% K=6%. That's the CYMK formula for International Orange (according to the official Golden Gate Bridge website). If you plug it into Photoshop like I did, you'll see that it looks wrong, wrong, wrong. Oh, the joys of color management!
Here's something you thought you knew about the bridge but don't: The bridge is NOT being painted year round from one end and back to the other. The last complete paint job was finished in 1995 and since then there has been continuous "touch up" in areas that experience heavy corrosion.
It's best not to lean against the rope barrier, Little Man.
Caught in Mid-Shiver
Mine. Mine. Mine.
This was our final view of the Golden Gate as we left San Francisco via the Bay Bridge. The shot was taken from Treasure Island and, despite all appearances, is a color capture.
The Dragon Gate on the corner of Bush and Grant marks the entrance to Chinatown. The gate was a gift from the Republic of China (AKA Taiwan).
San Francisco's Chinatown is one of the oldest and largest outside of Asia. In the earthquake of 1906 the entire neighborhood was leveled and many within San Francisco's government argued for moving it to a less desirable location. Others argued that it should be rebuilt in place as a tourist attraction. Ultimately, Chinatown was rebuilt in its original location. Today it draws more visitors than the Golden Gate Bridge.
Despite the number of visitors it receives, I've never heard anyone argue that Chinatown isn't authentic.
"Daddy, I'm sorry but I don't see anything that I like."
In Chinatown, "whole chicken" means whole chicken.
Montgomery Street, just below the Montgomery Steps, provides a nice view of the Transamerica building framed by several blocks of well kept row houses. I actually preferred this view to the better known one at the top of the steps.
Once you've climbed to the top of the Montgomery Steps, you're just a few blocks away from Coit Tower. Just a little more climbing...
Montgomery & Union with Russian Hill in the background
Having walked all the way from Embarcadero Station, through Chinatown, and up to the top of the Montgomery Steps, "just a little more climbing" was not a phrase The Boy wanted to hear. Yet the promise of candy waiting at the top of the hill proved motivational. Said candy ended up taking the form of a giant blue sucker.
My primary guidebook advised me not to pay for the trip to the top of Coit Tower. "The view from the parking lot is largely the same as the view from the top," it advised. I decided to check it out anyway, a decision I came to regret after discovering that all the openings were closed off with smudge-covered plexiglass. My advice to readers: The view from the parking lot is largely the same as the view from the top. Spend your money elsewhere.
Welcome to one of the coolest restaurants ever! Located along the Embarcadero not far from Fisherman's Wharf, The Rainforest Cafe is three stories of lush (fake) vegetation populated by animatronic pythons, gorillas, elephants, cheetas, birds, and butterflies.
As we walked through the front door, we were greeted by this giant and very realistic looking python -- and the sight of a parent forcing their screaming and clearly terrified 3 year old to touch it. The snake would bend its head and neck down and flick its tongue at curious onlookers. If I didn't know better, I would have sworn it could tell when someone was nearby. Not surprisingly, Lewis wanted nothing to do with it.
Despite Mom's best efforts, Lewis was not interested in touching the elephants either. Although their movements were confined to blinking eyelids, moving heads and trunks, and flapping ears, Lewis had apparently decided that it was only a matter of time before someone got stepped on -- and it wasn't going to be him.
On the other side of the room was a giant gorilla that would occasionally beat its chest. This often occurred in the middle of a "thunderstorm" during which all the lights would flicker and go out, strobe lights would flash, and the sound of thunder would emanate from all directions.
We discovered The Rainforest Cafe on our first evening in San Francisco -- too late to eat. We promised Lewis we would come back another night to eat and, more importantly, to buy him a collection of pretend insects: all the plastic insects he could fit into a small box for only $7.99 plus tax!
The folks eating under the snake got no peace at all due to the constant parade of people coming over to have their picture taken under it.
Diners in another section of the restaurant were surrounded by giant aquariums.
San Francisco is the home of Sony's first Metreon, envisioned as a high tech mall and showplace for technology, games, and entertainment. Although it attracted considerable foot traffic, the San Francisco Metreon was ultimately unprofitable and thus sold off. Today most of the high tech tenants are gone but a remnant of its past exists in the form of this game which sits in the middle of the main floor waiting for a child to wander onto it, at which point it comes to life.
The San Francisco MOMA is visible in the background at the edge of the Yerba Buena Gardens. The MOMA is what brought us to Yerba Buena but there is much more to see in this area. We discovered later that we were only a block away from a children's garden that features a restored carousel. We never got to see it. Bummer, man.
What we didn't miss was the MLK Jr. Memorial, one of the best memorials I've seen. Its design was inspired by Dr.King's speech quoting Amos 5:24 where he says, "No. No, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until 'justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.'"
A roaring waterfall is the heart of the memorial with a passageway underneath that is lined with quotes from his speeches. The memorial and Dr. King's words were both very impressive.
This shot of Lewis at the end of the passageway is one of my favorite images from San Francisco.
As we waited in line at the Powell Street turnaround, a war of wills broke out between The Mom and The Boy over the necessity of wearing a hoodie. For The Boy it was a losing battle -- but he went down fighting.
San Francisco's cable cars are still turned around by hand at the end of each line. In fact, everything about them is old school. One of the operators explained to me that every time a cable car needs a new part it has to be made by hand. As a result, each car has its own personality.
Our first ride was on the Powell-Mason line at dusk. We departed from the Financial District instead of the waterfront so the wait in line was very short.
We enjoyed great views along the way, particularly as we descended down the east side of the route. The tracks lit up like shiny ribbons adorning the middle of the street.
This man spent his time performing for the line of people waiting to ride San Francisco's most popular cable car run, the Powell-Hyde. He described himself as the one-man band known as Spare Change. "Get it?" he kept asking.
Once we got up next to him, The Boy broke into song too, offering up a rendition of "Jesus Loves Me".
We had so much fun on our first cable car ride that we decided to take another ride back to where we started. This time we took the Hyde-Powell line, the steepest line in the city as it climbs Russian Hill.
The wait was a little longer for the return trip. It was dark by the time we left.
We sat in the very front of the cable car on the way over. We decided to stand on the rear platform for the ride back. We were fortunate to get our choice in both directions, although Lewis wasn't feeling that lucky when he saw where we would be standing. We had to convince him he wasn't going to fall out.
Each cable car is run by two operators. One is inside the car toward the front; the other stands on the rear platform -- with us in this case. This made for interesting conversation on the trip back. Our operator seemed to enjoy explaining how everything worked. He also shared a few good stories. He was driving a bus when the Northridge earthquake hit in 1989.
You'd be excused for thinking that we were still on the cable car line at this point; we're not. These tracks are for the trolleys (not to be confused with cable cars) that run up and down Market Street.
There's a good chance you recognize The Thinker, one of the world's best known sculptures. It was sculpted by Rodin, one of the worlds most admired sculptors. But Rodin was French. What was The Thinker doing in San Francisco? It turns out that the finest collection of Rodin sculptures outside of Paris can be found at the Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco.
The first thing I told Darla was that this had to be a replica. Not only was it in San Francisco, but it was sitting outside exposed to the elements. Once inside, I was assured that it was, in fact, the actual Thinker. What they should have said is that it was an actual Thinker. I would find out later that there is more than one actual Thinker; multiple castings were made from the original mold. I don't know why but that seems like cheating to me.
The museum sits on a hilltop that offers great views of the Golden Gate Bridge...supposedly. It was another blustery day; quite cold, in fact. But the monochromatic skies and soft light set off the form of the surrounding Cypress trees quite nicely.
How can I describe The Exploratorium? It's like the world's coolest science fair. I was a little concerned that either The Boy or The Parents would end up bored in short order. It took less than five minutes to realize this wasn't going to be a problem. We had to drag Lewis away kicking and screaming (a figure of speech...for the most part) from a few of the exhibits so that other children would have a chance to enjoy them.
I've never seen Lewis as delighted as he seemed to be at this exhibit. The metal turntable in the center was rotating and people of all ages lined up along the edges of the table to see how long they could keep their particular disc spinning. Lewis used his disc to take out as many of the other spinning discs as possible.
The resonance generated by this instrument as it was dragged across the edge of the metal square created distinct patterns in the sand on top of it.
The disc with the weights concentrated toward its center always rolled faster than the one with weights set on the outside edge. As the weight is shifted farther from center, the disc has a harder time getting moving.
This was one that The Boy would have preferred to have all to himself.
This was the best demonstration of color theory I'd ever seen. Can you figure out how it was done? Remember, it is the shadows that are in color. The wall is white. Theater majors, put your hands down. I know you've all seen this before.
Of course, The Boy wasn't so much interested in the theory as he was the colors themselves. He was a little miffed that the red shadow wasn't bigger.

'Learn from San Francisco'-A A +A
Tuesday, July 15, 2014
CLIMATE Change Commissioner Nadarev Saño urged mayors in Luzon to replicate the best practices of San Francisco in Camotes, Cebu in disaster preparedness and risk reduction.
Saño said San Francisco offers at least 10 lessons in climate change adaptation.
These lessons include tapping the "purok" system, the smallest unit in local governance, to educate residents about disaster preparedness.
Saño also raised the need to allot funds or invest in disaster-resilient development planning; building climate-proof infrastructure; and setting up an incident command system.
Saño was one of the speakers during yesterday's League of Municipalities of the Philippines Luzon Cluster Conference, held at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel. He spoke on harnessing the capabilities of local government units in disaster risk reduction and management, and climate change adaptation.
Saño lauded the initiatives during the term of Alfredo Arquillano Jr. as mayor of San Francisco.
Under the leadership Arquillano, San Francisco won the United Nations Sasakawa Award for Disaster Risk Reduction in 2011. At present, Arquillano is president of Regional Center of Expertise in Cebu.
In 2004, Arquillano used the purok system to implement solid waste management. Later, he tapped the puroks to enable communities to prepare and respond to disasters.
Arquillano told Sun.Star Cebu that the purok is a system by itself. Delivery of public services to the purok is supervised by committees that are responsible for specific programs, like health and nutrition, agriculture and livelihood, education and solid waste management, peace and order, environmental protection, tourism women and children, infrastructure, youth and sports and finance budget and appropriations.
Purok committees meet regularly. Committees are required to submit progress reports to the mayor.
Arquillano said the purok system makes managing the local government unit easier. He said it can be replicated by other local government units.

Steven Nanni
Tenor Steven Nanni, "a world class tenor who has natural musicality, artistic instinct and vocal talent, sang the role of Nemorino in Donizetti's L'elisir D'amore beautifully" (Irish Times) ... "A particularly strong performance ... Nanni sang beautifully" (Boston Globe). "Among Steven's many talents are his natural musical instincts. He is a singer from the old school of bel canto and expressive line; a complete musical instrument and artist" --Nico Castel (Metropolitan Opera diction coach, Juilliard School professor).
Steven's engagements include over 25 leading roles in opera and oratorio such as Alfredo in Verdi's La traviata; Tito in Mozart's La clemenza di Tito; Count Almaviva in Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia; Ernesto in Donizetti's Don Pasquale, and Tamino in Mozart's Die Zauberflote. Oratorios include Bach's Magnificat; Mass in B Minor, and St. Matthew Passion; Haydn's Creation; Handel's Messiah; Mozart's Requiem; Mendelssohn's Elijah, and Orff's Carmina Burana. Steven has also appeared in light opera, art song and lieder recitals with piano accompaniment and full orchestral format. Appearances at Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Performing Arts Center, Florida Philharmonic, La Lirica di Venezia, Opera Company of Dublin, Ireland, Liederkranz Hall (NYC), the Juilliard School, Delaware Valley Opera, Binghamton Philharmonic and Tri-Cities Opera.
Steven attended the Conservatorio di Musica "Giuseppe Verdi" di Milano Internazionale under the direction of Guido Salvetti. Steven also attended the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and the Music Conservatory of Westchester in White Plains, where he studied with Prima Donna Renata Scotto. Steven has also been a student and colleague of the celebrated diva Montserrat Caballe and under the baton of Placido Domingo at the Washington National Opera.
In mastering the vocal techniques of Marchesi, Lamperti and Garcia, Steven has adapted his own interpretation in translating these techniques to students of all voice types and vocal obstacles. As a singer and teacher of voice, Steven firmly believes that breathing skills, release of tension, the understanding of placement of voice, vocal exercises and scale work is mandatory in building the voice. To that end, good diction, language skills, translation and the ability to communicate should be first and foremost in a singer's performance. Steven has studied and worked, for many years, with the master in diction, translation and style, Mr. Nico Castel, with whom Steven has coached a large part of the operatic and song literature.

A very good soup. Fresh, earthy, and herbaceous flavors. I added more garlic and an extra half teaspoon of salt. I would not skimp on the leeks. Letting the vegetables caramelize helps to build the flavor of the broth. The pistou really brought it all together. Makes a nice healthy dinner. Took me longer than the 40 minutes to prep and cook.flag if inappropriate
After reading previous reviews I changed this up a bit and it was GREAT! I left out the leek and sauteed the carrot and celery in about 8 cloves of organic onion garlic and in addition to a thyme spring I added an oregano sprig. After the above said browned I added the potatoes and instead of swiss chard I used KALE. Before adding 8 whole cups of water I added one cup and let it simmer for about 20-30 min. I ended up adding frozen corn, doubling the zucchini and using 1/2 portion chicken stock to h2o. Orzo was substituted for shell pasta... My fiance, who does not like soup LOVED this!flag if inappropriate
Eh, not really that exciting. I did sub veggie broth for the water and used an extra leek. The pistou was great, I would make that again as a dip for bread. Hopefully the soup will taste a little more flavorful tomorrow.flag if inappropriate
not bad as is, awesome with a few modifications. doubled up on the leeks and garlic, used chicken stock instead of water, and white kidney beans instead of edamame. No leftovers, many raves. will definitely be making this again.flag if inappropriate
We did not like this soup. It takes longer to prepare than the recipe indicates and it isn't worth a fraction of that effort. My husband is usually quite accepting of vegetarian foods but he said, "this needs a ham bone"!flag if inappropriate
This soup turned out really good, but it definitely needed a little love to get there. I think if you follow the recipe exactly, it'll be rather bland. I used veggie stock instead of water. Also instead of edamame, I used a can of cannellini beans. When I tasted the soup, it seemed a bit thin and watery, so I ended up pureeing another can of cannelini beans and adding that to the stock. It had a lot more body and depth of flavor that way. I also use parmesean cheese instead of gruyere...the gruyere seemed kind of weird to me. Anyway, it was delicious, with some modifications.flag if inappropriate
I really liked this, but made it with all water as the recipe directed and cannelini beans instead of edamame. I agree that it should really have some more flavor. On day 2 I used the leftover baguette and gruyere to make a little mini grilled cheese with it, and that made it great, so instead of stock, I think it might also be nice to try more gruyere in the pistou, or just more pistou, which was delicious. More butter or even a touch of cream might also be good. These would be ways to keep that "fresh" concept while still adding flavor. But I will probably also try it with just stock some day.flag if inappropriate
With all the delicious vegetables I thought it would be tastier. It lacks something...next time I might add pancetta. I took the advice of others and used more garlic and vegetable stock in place of water, it helped. I also used a bouquet garni for a little more taste.flag if inappropriate
I was out of thyme so used tarragon instead. Also, used 1/2 vegetable stock, 1/2 water. Otherwise, I followed the recipe. The pistou makes this soup delicious.flag if inappropriate
I made this with chicken stock and it was great. I can't imagine that it would be good using water...I'd use vegetable stock at least.flag if inappropriate

Transportation plans open to public
by Sarah Fay Campbell
Public meetings on Coweta County's Joint Comprehensive Transportation Plan, and the plans for the new Poplar Road interchange on Interstate 85, will be held in the next few weeks.
The final public meeting on the draft Comprehensive Transportation Plan will be held Nov. 7 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Coweta County Fairgrounds on Pine Road. The plan is a joint project of Coweta County and its municipalities.
The public hearing on the Poplar Road interchange will be Nov. 21 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Central Educational Center in Newnan.
During the process of updating the county's Joint Comprehensive Transportation Plan, open houses were held in each of the five commission districts, and a 'virtual open house' was held online. Participants were asked to fill out a survey about the most - and least - needed transportation projects.
The information from those meetings and other public involvement was rolled into the draft plan. At the final public hearing, that draft plan will be presented, and members of the public will have a chance to comment on the plan itself.
There will be no formal presentation. County staff members and consultants will be on hand to answer questions.
For those who can't attend the meeting, information about the plan will be posted on the county's website, www.coweta. ga.us .
The Poplar Interchange public hearing will also be a dropin event. There will be plans and displays of the project, and representatives from the Georgia Department of Transportation and Coweta County will be available to answer questions.
The interchange project will include approximately 1.4 miles of construction along Poplar Road, and approximately 1.1 miles of construction along Interstate 85.
In addition to the plans for the interchange, the environmental document for the project will also be available for review, and comment, at the public hearing.
All the documents will also be available for 15 days before the public hearing at the Coweta County Transportation and Engineering Department, 21 East Washington Street, Newnan, and the GDOT LaGrange Area Office, 1107 Hogansville Road, LaGrange.
Written comments can be submitted to Glenn Bowman, PE, State Environmental Administrator, Georgia Department of Transportation, 600 West Peachtree Street, NW - 16th Floor, Atlanta, GA 30308. Copies of documents can also be requested at this address.
For more information about the Comprehensive Transportation Plan open house, contact Tavores Edwards at 770-6832300 or email@example.com.

Can't Get Back To Sleep?
When your mind is whirling, working with your body can settle things down.
4:00 in the morning is a dark and lonely hour. Really, the best thing to do if you find yourself awake at 4:00 in the morning is roll over and go back to sleep. And, earlier this week, when I found myself wide awake at precisely that hour, that is what I tried to do.
It didn't work.
I'd woken with a start from a dead sleep, the answer to a question that had been nagging me all weekend suddenly crystal clear. My heart was pounding. Adrenaline was coursing through my body. My mind was racing – making lists, schedules and working logistics. Other than the fact that one usually wants to be asleep, the problem with 4:00 in the morning is that everyone else is. Therefore, there was no way for me to get going on all the work I now knew I had to do.
After 20 minutes of ujjayi breathing, attempts at meditation, and mindfully trying to relax each area of my body, I was no closer to sleep. In fact, trying to hold still and relax had left me feeling increasingly stressed. So I slipped out of bed, brushed my teeth, laced up my sneakers and woke up the dog (poor thing). While we walk pretty fast on a normal day, that morning, we were flying!
My steps fell automatically into a steady, regular pace. My breathing synchronized with my movements. Because it was so dark, my eyes stayed focused on the road just ahead, not searching or drawn to any sights. As I breathed and moved, my mind focused. As I walked, I felt my perspective shift. I could see the whole of my problem – the good, the bad and the ugly. Instead of allowing the urge to react to distract me, I kept looking at it, studying it, accepting it.
Because I was working so hard physically, my mind began to downshift from the frenzied state I'd awakened in. I was still fully absorbed in the issue at hand, but in a very different way. Rather than working the problem, I was observing it. Giving myself other work to do (zipping through the dark streets of town so quickly that the dog was behind me at times) somehow freed me from the need to get to work – now! – that had shaken me from my slumber. This watchful, attentive mindset gave me the space I needed to grapple with what had caused my problem. It also gave me the patience to consider a variety of possible solutions. (After all, I wouldn't be able to actually do anything until I got home!)
By the time my dog and I climbed the last hill of our walk, I began to sense my problem's solution. I felt the beginnings of a plan fall into place. I was tired from the exercise, but I wasn't sleepy. (That would come much later in the day.) I was wide-eyed and very alert, but no longer panicked. While my mind remained focused on my issue, I felt centered. I felt confident in the actions I was poised to take once the rest of the world woke up.
I am so grateful to my yoga practice for reminding me over and over again of the interconnection of my body and my mind. I am so grateful for the deep, clear understanding that sometimes the best thing to do when one part of me is out of balance is to work with another part. I knew instinctively that morning that to continue to think would quickly turn into a cyclone of frenzied thoughts and panicked feelings. Without thinking about it, my body seemed to know that if I shifted gears to do something physical, my mind would have the chance to settle.
As I absorbed myself in the hard work of a lightning-fast walk, I was able to safely experience my harried thoughts and upset feelings. Burning off some physical steam left me calmer inside and out. Stretching my legs and lungs in that cool morning air left me with a sense of space around my problem. I no longer felt squeezed to react. Instead, I felt I had the space to act mindfully.
Was that walk yoga? Not quite. But it sure provided some of the practice's best gifts on that dark, early morning.

Great ideas. If these don't work and you need more help getting back to sleep. Try Intermezzo. It's the only FDA approved sleep aid for middle of the night insomnia. Much lower dose than Ambien (1/3 to 1/6) and fast absorption (under your tongue and out of your blood stream in 4 hours) so it works really fast. In fact, the instructions say to only take while you are laying down in bed. Plus, no morning after side effects. Also, you only take it when you need it instead of every night in anticipation of a bad night. Great drug if the yoga doesn't work. myintermezzo.com.

CDC 1.0 or CDC 1.1
Good day,
I have some devices that are running on Windows Mobile 5.0.
They got 128 MB of Rom memory, and 64 MB of principal memory, they are
running at 300 MHZ they are Acer n300 Handheld.
I have to do a development in Java for these devices, I'm a Netbeans
Could you please tell me if there are any differences in hardware that would
justify the choose from CDC 1.0 to CDC 1.1?
What sdk should I chose for it?
Thank you
I think there is no reason why you should stick to CDC 1.0. The CDC 1.1
and related
profiles (Foundation Profile and Personal Profile) run fine on Windows
Mobile 5
with those hardware specs. Even Windows Mobile 2003 can handle them
Give the builds at
a spin and check for yourself.

Teleprevir for Other HCV Genotypes Besides 1?
Feb 3, 2010
Well, if you're a relapsed geno 2, 3 or 4 , but did clear HCV to ud during Ribavirin/Interferon Tx, will Teleprevir be worth taking w/ the standard RBVN/INFN? Or is it just geared for Genotype 1 disease? Thank you!!!!
Response from Dr. McGovern
Most of the data on the efficacy of telaprevir (HCV protease inhibitor) is for genotype 1. However, some recent data at the European Liver meetings showed that telaprevir appears to be effective against genotype 2 infection too...but not against genotype 3. ..

What is The New
York Times' problem with
control, and the right to legally end unwanted pregnancy. The rest of the Times, however, often seems
uncomfortable with concrete applications of these principles. Not a season goes
by that a news item or magazine feature doesn't imply that women who get
abortions are acting with egotism, unhealthiness, and cruelty.
The most recent instance
of this is Annie Murphy Paul's "The First Ache," in last Sunday's Magazine.
"When does the experience of pain begin?" the subtitle asks. "Anti-abortion
activists aren't the only ones to argue that it may be in the womb."
Paul's article, which runs over 5,000 words, begins with a
doctor in Arkansas claiming that fetuses as immature as 20 weeks after
gestation suffer agonies when prodded and cut during, say, prenatal surgery.
And--the point of the piece--when they're aborted.
But then other doctors start discussing the Arkansas physician's
claim, and their opinions are all over the map. One insists that fetuses feel
no pain until at least 29 weeks. Another pushes the pain date all the way forward
to 18 weeks. Someone else says that even born babies can't feel pain
until they're one year old. Clearly, there's no consensus on the issue. But the
lack of agreement is lost amid the article's looming intimation that women who
end their pregnancies are hurting their fetuses. Paul never specifies that the
vast majority of abortions--more than 96 percent--are performed
before 18 weeks' gestation, the earliest date being claimed for the beginning
of fetal pain. Nor does she mention that American women are getting abortions earlier
and earlier in their pregnancies: The rate occurring in the first eight weeks
has increased sharply in recent years, with many now done in the sixth week of
pregnancy or earlier. Without these statistics, the article's main effect is to
make female readers feel guilty and confused about abortion.
Paul's is not the only problem piece to run in the Sunday
Magazine. Another, by Slate senior editor Emily Bazelon, appeared
last January and looked at "post-abortion syndrome" (PAS). A takeoff on PTSD
(post-traumatic stress disorder), PAS is not recognized by the psychiatric or
psychotherapy establishment because there's no scientific evidence it exists.
But moral conservatives out to overturn Roe
v. Wade have popularized the
purported malady among women who've had abortions. And last year, the Supreme
Court cited affidavits submitted by people claiming they've suffered from PAS.
The court said the risk to women of contracting the risk of "severe depression
and loss of esteem" was one reason to ban "dilation and extraction"--better
known as "partial birth" abortion. If for no other reason than this
politicking, PAS is well worth exploring.
Problem is, Bazelon skips lightly over politics, focusing
instead on fuzzy profiles of self-described PAS sufferers. One is Rhonda Arias,
an evangelical minister who runs PAS-support groups in Texas women's prisons. Bazelon follows Arias
as she holds forth in one facility, reading from the New Testament, playing
gospel music, and handing dolls to inmates who weep as they mourn their aborted
offspring. Then Arias asks these prisoners to send her testimonies about their
PAS to her so she can submit them to places like the Supreme Court.
To be fair, Bazelon spends a long time discussing the
piled-up scientific evidence showing that PAS doesn't exist, with many
interviews from respected researchers illustrating the consensus that it's just
a right-wing talking-point. Still, Bazelon writes that Arias's audience members
"drink in [her] preaching," and about how Arias "ministers from the heart" with
her face "alight." We read that Arias conducted a study with data culled from
prisoner reports of psychological trauma from abortion (which she later sent to
the Supreme Court). But Bazelon does not remind us that prison inmates are
considered a terrible source of data for psychology studies. They are a captive
population at great risk of saying whatever they think people in authority--including
researchers--want to hear. Nor are we told that one facility where Arias does
her PAS data collection has been cited by inmates as lacking access to work and
substance abuse programs. Another prison houses all nine women on Texas's death row and is
among the state's ten most violent prisons. No wonder inmates might exchange
PAS testimonials for hugs and music.
And Bazelon only glances over the Justice Foundation, a Texas group that funded
the collection of those PAS affidavits for delivery to the Supreme Court. The
article calls the foundation "a conservative law center," but doesn't say that
it was founded by, and gets its money from, James Leininger, a Christian right
winger and one of the richest people in Texas.
Leininger has used the Justice Foundation and other groups, also funded by him,
to pack the Texas
school board with members who oppose sex education and favor censoring
textbooks. He has bankrolled political campaigns in which candidates who don't
toe his line have been smeared with charges that they promote illegal drug use
and homsexuality to school children. And he is staunchly anti-choice: Using the
Justice Foundation, he almost single-handedly has enabled the gathering of PAS
affidavits to erode Roe v. Wade. Rhonda Arias would be a nobody
without this man's fortune and political designs. He's as important as she is--if
not more so--to understand the PAS push.
Magazine articles aren't the Times's only problem. News stories
also sometimes issue strange and conflicting messages about abortion. Last
spring, for instance, a long piece appeared
on the front page: "Today's Face of Abortion in China is a Young, Unmarried Woman,"
by Jim Yardley with Lin Yang contributing. The article's point seemed to be
that, back when China coerced married women to have only one child, it wasn't
their fault they had to get abortions--but now, single young women are
obtaining them voluntarily. And this is bad.
Why bad? The article reeks with veiled references to selfishness
and irresponsibility. The first paragraph says, "it was her second abortion in
18 months." Indeed, most patients sitting at a clinic with this woman have
already had an abortion; one is on her sixth! And how did they find the clinic?
The article notes that private abortion clinics proliferate in China
now, and newspapers there run "sensational" ads promising "Painless Abortions."
(The reporters seem unaware that ethnic papers in New York City, such as El
Diario, are stuffed with identical ads, and that most abortions in this
country are done at private facilities.)
Again, numbers are used out of context. The Times cites the
number of abortions per year in China,
and the number in this country: 7.1 million there, 1.29 million here--an
alarming differential until you recall that China's
population is over four times that of the US. The article never mentions this
basic data.
A headline
was the problem in another front page story, which ran on January 31. The
article reported that Shanghai Hualian, a big pharmaceuticals manufacturer in China,
made a contaminated leukemia drug that sickened patients in that country. The
same firm produces all the RU-486 distributed in the U.S. (the drug is used to induce
non-surgical abortions). But the FDA said the company's RU-486 factory had
passed many inspections and is safe. The Times reported this at length. So why was the articled titled
"Tainted Drugs Linked to Maker of Abortion Pill"?
To be sure, Times
stories are not always pursed-lipped about abortion. Spring 2006 saw a national
scare about a deadly bacterial infection associated with RU-486 abortions. In a
follow-up article in May, reporter Gardiner Harris pointed out
that infection with the same bacteria might be a risk for pregnant women who
intend to have their babies. Harris even quoted two New York woman who'd had multiple abortions,
some done surgically and some with RU-486. They discussed the pros and cons of
each procedure, and one woman allowed publication of her name: Anne Hawkins.
The whole thing was refreshingly matter of fact and devoid of cryptic
moralizing. But the article was buried near the back of the A section.
Then there was the disturbing flap at the Magazine two years ago, after a cover
piece about illegal abortion in Latin America reported
on a woman in El Salvador
who supposedly was criminally convicted for aborting her 18-week fetus. Post
publication, it turned out the woman was actually judged guilty of murdering
her newborn, full-term baby. The reporter had never bothered to read the court
records, and the Magazine's factcheckers
hadn't either. In its eagerness to champion abortion rights in a country that
has none, the paper had gotten sloppy. And on its own national turf, where
long-established rights are being chipped at, sloppiness runs in the other
So, what's going on at the Times? Maybe only what's happening in the whole culture. Liberals and even feminists have bought
into the reasoning that abortion is basically immoral, and if women could
just be educated and dosed with birth control, we wouldn't have
to terminate any pregnancies. Bill Clinton's famous formulation, that abortion
should be "safe, legal, and rare," has become conventional wisdom.
It's the line on the Times editorial page. In other sections, awkward reality
intrudes, making reporters and editors skittish. Women--particularly
young and poor women--don't take their contraceptives, and when they get
pregnant many wait to go to the abortion clinic. Then they get pregnant
again. Their behavior seems mysterious and threatening. They become scapegoats,
not just for the Right, but for older and more educated liberals, too. That's the demographic who work at the Times,
and a good percentage of its readership. But the Gray Lady is powerful way
beyond New York
liberal circles. And by making anti-woman moral judgments and obsessing
over "problems" with no good evidence they exist, she's
abusing her nation and the world.

Hazy Sunshine: Striving for a more inclusive vision.
A vague sense of confusion presents itself when I favor the shallow perception.
I saw the freshly hatched sun today over Lake Michigan. It rises as an expression of hope.
Why is the sun hidden sometimes (like every night!)? I have the privilege of education so I get the earth spinning and revolving around the sun explanation… There might be more. This scientific understanding also says something about our consciousness. We are aware of the sun existing even when we don't see it. Or are we? Apparently this is an ability we get at a pretty young age. There is a time when Mommy has left the room, and we understand that she is not gone forever, and we "see" that she has only left temporarily. And then there's a time when someone dies, and even though they are not available to be seen like they used to be, they are still there in consciousness similar to the sun when we can't see it.
The weather forecast called for hazy sunshine… I guess this is it. I seem to have awareness without clarity.
I understand that the sun is hidden when I can't see it, but when it is gone from my direct experience it's almost like I forget to believe in it. Sometimes it is just a lonely, dark night.
There is also a sense of mystery about things that exist outside what can be immediately seen, and sometimes the joy cannot be held back. This often happens when I practice a yoga posture—joy starts coming out! I don't know from where, and what does it matter. I enjoy the joy! And I am thrilled by the rising sun.

Awareness without clarity…great way of putting it…
Thanks, oh highly revered master of the Yoga Cynic Sutra…
I think I might also say: head-knowledge without really feelin' it. And yoga seems to be the best way to get into that 'feelin' it' state!! Maybe I just needed to practice… Then, at the same time, I think it's good to just feel things, and not to trick my body chemistry into feeling good when it might be reasonable to experience something else…

DEKALB, Ill. — Nearly two dozen fraternity members at Northern Illinois University have been charged with hazing-related counts after a freshman was found dead at their fraternity house following a night of drinking.
DeKalb police and prosecutors issued arrest warrants Monday for 22 members of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity in DeKalb. Five members are charged with felony hazing, while the other 17 members are facing misdemeanor hazing charges.
Phone messages and emails sent to local and national fraternity officials were not immediately returned.
The warrants were filed after David Bogenberger, 19, was found unresponsive at the fraternity house early on Nov. 2. The DeKalb County Coroner's Office said toxicology results found his blood alcohol content was about five times the legal limit for driving.
The coroner ruled Bogenberger's cause of death was cardiac arrhythmia, with alcohol intoxication as a contributing cause.
The DeKalb Police Department said its investigation found the fraternity hosted an unsanctioned event on Nov. 1 that wasn't registered with the university or the fraternity's national chapter.
"The event that night involved the pledges rotating between several rooms in the fraternity house, being asked a series of questions, and then being provided cups of vodka and other liquor to drink," police said in a statement. "This resulted in the pledges drinking a large quantity of alcohol in about a two-hour time period."
Police said several other pledges reported getting sick and passing out due to excessive alcohol consumption.
In addition to the charges, NIU said 31 students are accused of violating the school's code of conduct. Those students could face penalties ranging from reprimand to expulsion.
Bogenberger's family said in a statement that they appreciate law enforcement professionals who investigated his death and "seek accountability for a horrible event."
"We have no desire for revenge," the family said. "Rather, we hope that some significant change will come from David's death. Alcohol poisoning claims far too many young, healthy lives.
"We must realize that young people can and do die in hazing rituals. Alcohol-involved hazing and initiation must end."

Utah State University names field at Romney Stadium Merlin Olsen Field
Editor's note: Merlin Olsen graduated from the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business, summa cum laude in 1962, majoring in finance. He received the Outstanding Business Student Award in 1959, 1960 and 1961 and now he is the first Huntsman Alumnus to have a major football field named after him. We thought we'd share this story from Utah State Today with you about Olsen's newest honor.
Utah State University names field at Romney Stadium Merlin Olsen Field
Utah State University students know how to honor a winner. Students erupted into spontaneous (and emotional) chants and cheers in December 2009 as the university honored one of its greatest alumni and the most decorated football player in school history.
USU announced at a special ceremony during halftime of the men's basketball game against Saint Mary's that it is naming the playing field inside Romney Stadium "Merlin Olsen Field."
An official dedication ceremony will take place during the end of the 2010 football season in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of Utah State's 1960 Sun Bowl Team, that was led by Mr. Olsen.
Susan and Merlin Olsen
During Saturday's halftime ceremonies, students and other fans greeted Olsen with a rousing round of cheers during an unscripted power outage. As the honoree and his family stood at center court with President Stan L. Albrecht and Athletics Director Scott Barnes, the "unofficial" student cheer section broke out into rousing chants and rhythmic clapping to screams of "Merlin Olsen … Merlin Olsen … Merlin Olsen" and "Aggie legend … Aggie legend … Aggie legend."
President Albrecht told the packed house that Mr. Olsen, well known for his exploits on the playing field, has had an equally significant impact on the university off the field.
"I can assure you that there has been no one in the history of Utah State University who has carried the Aggie banner more actively and with greater honor than has Merlin Olsen," the president said. "Merlin and Susan and the rest of your family: thank you so much."
During the official dedication of Merlin Olsen Field at Romney Stadium in fall 2010, a larger-than-life-size bronze statue of Mr. Olsen, which will be sculpted by nationally renowned artist Blair Buswell, will be unveiled in the southeast corner of the stadium.
"Susan and I and the entire Olsen family are pleased and excited at the announcement this week that the playing field in Romney Stadium is being renamed Merlin Olsen Field," Mr. Olsen said in earlier comments. "I share this special honor with great coaches and teammates. Remembering those days brings to mind some of the happiest and most productive days of my life."
"The Utah State University family is deeply honored to be a part of this important announcement today," said President Albrecht. "There is no one who has carried the USU banner so proudly and with such distinction over the course of a lifetime than has Merlin Olsen. He has touched and influenced millions of people, not just through his success in the athletic and entertainment fields, but through the personal generosity and humanitarian service that have been so much a part of his life, and that of his wife and partner, Susan."
"Merlin Olsen epitomizes what we hope for when we think about the end result of our mission - preparing our student-athletes for life," Mr. Barnes said. "Merlin is a distinguished alumni who has given back generously of his time and financial resources over many years. He has carried the flag for our great university with dignity and honor and we are grateful to recognize him in this special way."
Mr. Olsen was a three-year lettermen on the offensive and defensive lines for Utah State's football team from 1959-61, earning All-American honors during both his junior and senior seasons. During his senior season in 1961, he won the Outland Trophy as the nation's outstanding interior defensive lineman.
Mr. Olsen also was a three-time academic All-American at Utah State and graduated summa cum laude and Phi Kappa Phi in 1962 with a degree in finance.
During his senior season, Mr. Olsen anchored an Aggie defense that yielded an average of 50.8 rushing yards per game to lead the nation. USU also allowed 88.6 passing yards and 139.4 total yards per game in 1961, and all three of those averages still rank as the best single-season efforts in school history.
Merlin Olsen
The 1961 Aggie defense gave up an average 7.8 points a game, which is second in school history behind Mr. Olsen's 1960 team, which allowed 6.5 points per game. Additionally, the Aggie defense held four opponents to less than 100 total yards that season, including Idaho who was held to a school-record 23 total yards in USU's 69-0 win on Oct. 28.
During Mr. Olsen's junior and senior seasons, Utah State had a combined 18-3-1 record under head coach John Ralston and were Skyline Conference co-Champions each year as USU played in back-to-back bowl games against New Mexico State (Sun Bowl, 1960) and Baylor (Gotham Bowl, 1961). Utah State finished the 1961 season ranked 10th in both the Associated Press and United Press International polls, the highest-ever final ranking for a USU team.
Mr. Olsen is a member of the State of Utah's Sports Hall of Fame, the Utah State University Sports Hall of Fame and USU's All-Century Football Team. In 2000, he was selected by Sports Illustrated as one of the State of Utah's Top 50 Athletes of the Century.
Following his collegiate career, Mr. Olsen was the third overall pick in the 1962 NFL Draft and became a charter member of the Los Angeles Rams and the famed "Fearsome Foursome." In 15 professional seasons, he was named to an NFL-record 14 Pro Bowls and missed a total of two games during his career. Along with earning All-Pro honors nine times during his career, Mr. Olsen was named the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1962 and the league's Most Valuable Lineman in 1973.
Mr. Olsen, who retired from professional football in 1976, was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1982 and in 1999 was ranked No. 25 on The Sporting News' list of the 100 Greatest Football Players. He was voted to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1980 and to the All-Academic All-America Hall of Fame in 1988. In 2008 Mr. Olsen was named to the 75th Anniversary All-Sun Bowl Team to commemorate the Sun Bowl Association's Diamond Anniversary.
About Romney Stadium
Located on the north end of the Utah State University campus, Romney Stadium is named after E.L. "Dick" Romney, USU's all-time winningest football coach and former Athletics Director. The first game inside Romney Stadium was played on Sept. 14, 1968 when the Aggies defeated New Mexico State, 28-12, and the facility was officially dedicated on Sept. 27, 1969. During the past 42 seasons, Romney Stadium has been the site for many amazing moments in Utah State Athletics, including 108 football victories.
About Blair Buswell
For over 25 years, Blair Buswell has sculpted more than 60 busts of the new inductees for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He sculpted the Doak Walker Award, which is given annually to the top college running back in the country. Mr. Buswell was honored as the 1990 Sport Artist of the Year by the United States Sports Academy, the first sculptor ever to be so honored. He has also sculpted former Aggie basketball All-American Wayne Estes, along with the likes of Charlton Heston, Harold B. Lee, W.A. Criswell and San Carlos Borromeo, to name a few.

Patients with Autoimmune Disorders Indicate High Disease Impact on Quality of Life
Autoimmune disorders can be painful and often distressing, but autoimmune disorders are more distressing than others.
In a comparison of patient reported ratings on autoimmune disease impact on quality of life metrics, BioTrends Research Group found that patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and Lupus/SLE (SLE) reported significantly higher impact on "Activities of Daily Living" and "Emotional Health" compared to patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). All of the patients with autoimmune disease reported higher disease impact compared to patients suffering from gout, another condition covered in the PatientTrends series.
Leading up to diagnosis, patients reported struggling with symptoms for many months before receiving a diagnosis. About one-third of AS and PsA patients had symptoms for more than one year before being diagnosed and close to half of these patients saw more than two physicians before receiving a diagnosis. On average, AS patients were symptomatic for nearly three years, often receiving another diagnosis prior to AS. By comparison, PsA and RA patients were typically diagnosed within the first year of presentation and gout patients were diagnosed almost immediately.
The degree to which loved ones are involved in the care of these patients also varies by disease as does the extent to which the patients are active versus passive seekers of information. While the treating physician plays the lead role in providing disease information for all of the conditions, other sources also influence the patients in their awareness about their disease and treatment options.

Daily Mirror reports that 26-year-old Manchester City striker Edin Džeko does not rule out leaving the Citizens in favour of a Bundesliga team.
Currently, Man City coach Roberto Mancini is looking to shakeup the attacking line in a bid to retain the Premier league title. Should he add a new forward in January transfer window, either Mario Balotelli or Džeko could leave the team.
Despite the recent confrontation with Balotelli at the training session, Mancini continues showing support to his countryman.
Džeko joined Man City from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg for £27m in 2011 and would like to return to Germany if Mancini decides he does not feature in his plans.
"It's too early to speak about that at the moment. I am a City player right now and I don't see a reason to talk about anything else… but yes, I love Bundesliga and would love to go back there some time," said Džeko.

Eric Watkins
Senior Correspondent
LOS ANGELES, May 2 -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad launched a $1.2 billion project to upgrade Sri Lanka's sole refinery at Sapugaskande, outside Colombo, the island nation's capital.
Sri Lanka's petroleum minister A.H.M. Fowzie said the 4-year upgrade will triple his country's refinery capacity to 150,000 b/d from the current 50,000 b/d. Earlier plans had called for an increase to 100,000 b/d.
Iran, which supplies 70% of Sri Lanka's oil needs, agreed to finance $700 million of the upgrade in the form of a 10-year loan, with a 5-year exemption period from payment of the loan's installments. Sri Lanka will provide the remaining $500,000 for the project.
In March, Saudi Arabia expressed its willingness to assist Sri Lanka with its oil needsincluding the Sapugaskande refineryfollowing a meeting in Riyadh between Fowsie and his Saudi counterpart, oil minister Ali al-Naimi.
"We have plans to improve our refining capacity from 50,000 b/d to 100,000 b/d and getting Saudi expertise for the proposed expansion will facilitate the successful implementation of the project," said Fowzie.
The Sri Lankan minister added that his country also needed a cracker to convert crude oil into diesel and gasoline which would cost the government some $400 million. He asked the Saudi oil minister to request funds from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to enable Sri Lanka to purchase the facility.
The importance of the refinery upgrade was underlined in January when Sri Lanka, which has to import all of its oil needs, saw its trade deficit double to $610.8 million as higher oil import costs exceeded export gains.
Sri Lanka bought $302.1 million worth of oil in January, when the island's sole refinery shut down for upkeep work, compared to $54.2 million a year earlier.
In February, the Sri Lankan central bank said the country's trade deficit widened to $3.56 billion in 2007 from $3.37 billion in 2006 due to the high cost of importing petroleum products. It said the country's oil import bill stood at $2.49 billion for 2007, a 20.6% increase over the cost of imports in 2006.
