SANTA FE — With under a minute remaining in the third quarter, the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys basketball team was very much in the game against the Santa Fe Demons.
Then the wheels fell off.
With the third quarter winding down, Los Alamos trailed by just 7 points to Santa Fe Saturday night at Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium. But Santa Fe went on a 9-2 run extending into the early part of the fourth quarter to take control of the contest.
A pair of Los Alamos 3-pointers by Seth Drop and Skyler Veenis at the 6:11 and 5:21 mark cut the Santa Fe lead back down to 8 points, but that would be Los Alamos' last hurrah in the game.
Santa Fe outscored Los Alamos 20-5 in the final 5 minutes to roll to a 70-47 win in the District 2-4A contest.
Los Alamos finished the second half with 18 team fouls — despite the whopping total called on the Hilltoppers, only a few of those calls, most of them coming after the score got out of hand, were dubious. Santa Fe was into the double-bonus just 12 seconds into the fourth quarter.
In the final period, the Demons (9-10 overall, 1-1 in district) went to the foul line 20 times and converted 14 of those shots.
For Los Alamos, starters Travis Richins, Simon Heath and Xavier Dennison fouled out in a span of 1:38, all before the halfway point of the fourth quarter.

Psychology is the study of the behaviors and mental functions of not only humans but animals as well. This study of the human mind can be traced back to ancient Greece, China and Persia, where philosophers wrote out theories on why humans behave in the way that they do. However, the organized study of psychology only began as early as the 1800s and since then several fields have developed that focus on certain aspects of psychology. The most notable of these are clinical, cognitive, comparative, developmental, educational, experimental, forensic, industrial-organizational, school and social. While many of these fields of study often overlap, they each offer a unique and invaluable look at the minds of both humans and animals.

Don't run away just yet. I know the title sounds pretty healthy, right? So much fiber you won't need any more fiber for a week kind of healthy.
It's not so bad, really.
I whipped up a batch of these rolls Wednesday afternoon and even had my fiance Will help me roll them out into snakes (OK, ropes, but when we were kids we called them snakes) and into little knots before baking in the oven.
If I had a little more time on my hands, or cared about how these rolls looked, I might have looked up how to make a proper bread knot. Instead, we twisted them into all sorts of shapes and tried to mold them into pretty little mounds. It kind of worked.
Either way, they were hearty rolls that were good with a helping of butter. See, that makes up for all the healthy-ness, right?
These don't have a ton of moisture, so I suggest freezing any leftovers. Defrost them, as needed, by baking for about 12 minutes in a 400 degree oven.

Red Murff
Just prior to the start of the 1969 World Series, Orioles third baseman Brooks Robinson was said to have uttered the rather Grinch-like statement, "We are here to prove there is no Santa Claus." Such unabashed, un-American hubris could only naturally result in a rude October awakening for Baltimore. No presents under the Orange Birds' postseason tree. Just a lump of coal wrapped in pine tar.
Surprisingly, one individual who contributed mightily to the Miracle Mets that year was a jolly Texan who never swung a bat or fielded a ball at Shea Stadium: Red Murff. It was this super scout's particular insight and dogged persistence that led to the signing of some of the most beloved players ever to doff a royal blue and orange cap. As a Mets scout Red was credited with delivering a core of gifted players to Flushing, thus making the 1969 sugarplum dream a clay and cleat reality. Jerry Koosman, Ken Boswell, and Jerry Grote all came to New York due to Murff's efforts. Red was also credited with discovering a fellow Texan, a lean high school student the majority of scouts ignored. The only way this pitcher could have gotten into the Hall of Fame, so they thought, was if he bought a ticket. Murff proved his genius when he signed this fire-baller from Alvin: Nolan Ryan.
John "Red" Murff was born in Burlington, Texas on April 1, 1921 and came to the game late. There was no baseball program at Red's high school in Rosebud, Texas; he only began playing during World War II while a member of an Army Air Corps team. After the war and a stint at a factory job, he signed on, at the age of 29, with the Baton Rouge Red Sticks of the Class C Evangeline League. Pitching for the 1950 Sticks, Murff went 17-4 while toting a respectable 2.96 ERA. When he wasn't on the mound, Red played the outfield, batting .331 while knocking in 65 runs. Looking back on his Evangeline League Rookie of the Year Award, Murff reflects, "The nicest thing was the recognition that helped get me to the big leagues. The award made it known that I was a good player. And I was a rookie nearly 30 years old!"
The following year, in the process of amassing 19 wins, Red tossed a no-hitter for the Texas City Texans. He won 23 games for the Tyler East Texans in 1952 and led the Texas League with 17 victories the following year for the Double-A Dallas Eagles. Still an Eagle in 1955, he posted a 1.99 ERA, went 27-11, and logged more than 300 innings. The Sporting News named him Minor League Player of the Year. Red joined the Milwaukee Braves in 1956 and pitched in 14 games (one start) and had a 4.44 ERA. Sadly, the 34-year-old rookie injured his arm in the third inning of that first start for the Braves. Murff, who'd also suffered back problems, lamented that there was no real rehabilitation practiced in those days. He never graduated beyond being a bullpen pitcher in Milwaukee. His final game in the major leagues came just 13 months after his debut. He started just twice in 26 career games, though he was retroactively credited with three saves.
Murff remained with the Braves over the course of two seasons, going 2-2 for Milwaukee in 1957, but he did not pitch for the Braves after Memorial Day the year they went on to win the World Series. Murff lingered in the minors through 1959, pitching in Wichita and Louisville. He also hurled in the Puerto Rican League, where he later managed as well.
"Injury only stopped my baseball career as a player," Red philosophically noted. "Baseball was still a part of my life. Baseball was my vocation." Red became player-manager of the South Atlantic League Jacksonville Braves. That same year he helped a young pitcher named Phil Niekro, who was struggling with his knuckleball. More than three decades later, the 318-game winner said during his induction speech at the Hall of Fame. "When I played in Jacksonville, Florida, my manager by the name of Red Murff…walked to me and said, 'Son,' he said, 'if you can get that knuckleball over the plate, you can pitch in the big leagues.' And I believed him. I've had a lot of respect for Red and I still do. He's here today and I just want to say thank you for finding someone at that age telling me that I could pitch in the big leagues with that knuckleball."
It was merely Red Murff's first instance of helping a pitcher on the path to Cooperstown.
After scouting for the Houston Colt .45s, Murff joined the expansion team that really needed help. He went to work for the Mets organization in 1963, touring a huge territory that embraced Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. In an attempt to lift the fledgling Mets farm system, Red instituted the first-ever tryouts for young men enrolled in job training programs and helped establish winter instructional camps in Mexico. All the while the scout continued to cultivate a keen, almost prescient, ability to judge those players being overlooked.
Following up on a lead regarding a lefty hurler at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Red was shocked to find a "very fat" Jerry Koosman roaming the outfield. Weight was not the only reason the men in plaid were discouraged about this plump fellow from Minnesota; his lackadaisical approach caused scouts' clipboards to remain blank. Red convinced the pitcher, who proved his craft on the mound, to drop the weight. He signed Jerry shortly after his military discharge. Murff gave a helping hand to Sam Houston State student Ken Boswell, tutoring the infielder how to approach the commissioner's office and enter the major league draft as a special exception. (The Mets took him in the fourth round of the first major league draft in 1965.) Jerry Grote, who would become a lifelong friend of Red's, was inked by Murff while he was scouting for the Colt .45s. When Houston lost interest in the catcher, Red's word convinced the Mets brass to acquire the backstop.
Ryan provides a special example of Red's foresight and determination. Not even Nolan's blossoming fastball attracted scouts. The skinny kid's wild delivery did not resemble anything close to big league potential. It was Red Murff who stood by the young pitcher, seeing what no one else could. During Ryan's 1999 Hall of Fame induction speech, the man who hurled seven no-hitters praised Murff for making his baseball career possible. "Red is a friend and Red took more of an interest in me at an early age," Ryan said. "He thought when he saw me at 6-foot-2 and 140, he wasn't discouraged by my build and by the way I threw the baseball as many other scouts were. And I appreciate the fact that Red spent so much time with me and worked to help me become a better pitcher."
While Koosman, Ryan, Grote, and Boswell propelled the Miracle Mets into a ticker-tape blizzard along the Canyon of Heroes, one has to remember it was Red who helped bring these gifted players to the Shea faithful. It is no fairytale for fans and statisticians to look at the contributions of these four '69 Mets and honestly credit Red Murff with winning 23 regular season games while collecting 272 strikeouts during that magic season. By bringing Boswell and Grote to the Mets, Murff can also be credited with uncovering 72 RBIs for that club. Red's postseason numbers for 1969 are even more impressive: two World Series victories and a save, not to mention the clinching victory in the NLCS.
Ironically, by the time the Mets won the Series, Murff was with another club. Murff again joined another expansion club that really needed his help: the Montreal Expos. He joined the Expos in September 1968, before the expansion draft was even held and he helped the club start a major league franchise from scratch. He was named Montreal's Scout of the Year in 1975. Murff also started the baseball program at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor College near his home in Belton, Texas, and came up with the innovative method of allowing released professional ballplayers to get an education and still be able to play college ball (games against ex-professionals were deemed exhibitions). The school's baseball ballpark was named Red Murff Field in 1994.
Murff, who was also credited for finding John Bateman (Oklahoma), Mike Stanton (Texas), and Norm Charlton (Louisiana), retired from scouting in 1991 after 34 years on the job. He was inducted into the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989 and the Texas Scouts Association Hall of Fame in 1999. He tried his hand at writing, penning a children's book called Little Whiskers Fin after telling his grandson a story. With that under his belt, wrote his own story, The Scout: Searching for the Best in Baseball (with Mike Capps).
He remained close to the game even in his 80s. He moved in 2003 and quickly took an interest in the University of Texas at Tyler. "Red loved baseball and I loved it as well and we hit it off," athletic director James Vilade said. "Early on in our program, Red was the only person who supported our team and our players. He was instrumental with having a scouting day and getting our players ready for professional ball and it really helped them out." He was given a Lifetime Achievement Award from the school by Villade.
Even when Parkinson's disease, along with heart problems, forced a move into a Tyler nursing home, he still talked baseball and went with Villade to area games on occasion. One of his prize pupils, Nolan Ryan, even paid a visit. Murff died on November 28, 2008 at the age of 87.

Dr. Reda Mansour, currently the Foreign Ministry's representative at the Israel National Defense College, to take up the post in the summer • He joins two other serving Druze diplomats: the ambassadors to Norway and the Dominican Republic.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Thursday appointed Dr. Reda Mansour as Israel's next ambassador to Brazil. Mansour is currently the Foreign Ministry's representative at the Israel National Defense College, and will enter his new position in the summer.
Mansour joins two other Druze diplomats: Naim Aryadi, Israel's ambassador to Norway, and Baheej Mansour, Israel's ambassador to the Dominican Republic.
Mansour hails from the Druze town of Osfiya on Mount Carmel. Mansour has been ambassador to Ecuador, deputy ambassador to Portugal and consul-general in San Francisco.
After Aryadi's appointment to Norway in 2012, Lieberman said, "Yisrael Beytenu will continue to strengthen Israel according to the model: Those who contribute to society will receive in turn, whether Jew, Arab, Druze, or Bedouin, with no distinction made to gender, religion or race."
The Foreign Ministry also appointed Danny Carmon as Israel's ambassador to India and Amir Lati as consul-general in Chengdu, China. The appointments are expected to receive government approval.

The Fall of Rome
Bankrupt and bloodied, Italy's political elite clings to power
May 13, 2013, Vol. 18, No. 33 • By CHRISTOPHER CALDWELL
Worst of all, the government cannot find a way to balance its books that the public will tolerate. That is why February's elections produced a deadlock between three irreconcilable forces. The left-wing Democratic party (PD), which had successfully prevented reformists from ending the stranglehold of the party's Communist-era leadership, got the most votes for the lower house. The 76-year-old media mogul Silvio Berlusconi, leader of the populist conservatives, spent months attacking German bankers and Italian taxmen, and stunned the country by nearly winning the Senate. A quarter of the country voted for the Five-Star Movement (M5S) of comedian Beppe Grillo, which seems to want to do away with the country's political system altogether. Mario Monti, who led the "technocratic" government installed in 2011 to please Italy's EU creditors, was left in the dust. It is not surprising that it took two months of calumny, threats, and purges before the Berlusconi-ites, the Democrats, and the rump of Monti's forces could unite to fend off the Grillo movement and form a government, however shaky.
Americans uncertain what to expect from Letta's new government may find it useful to think of him as a younger, more Italian version of former Utah governor Jon Huntsman. Letta comes from the center-right. His political family is the old, anti-Communist Christian Democrats, the youth wing of which he once led. His literal family includes Gianni Letta, an uncle, who is an intimate of Berlusconi, the longtime prime minister. But there came a moment about 10 years ago when Silvio Berlusconi turned into a politician no well-bred young Italian could be seen in public with. Enrico cast his lot with the center-left.
That is how he and I came to share a pizza one lunchtime in Rome in 2003. Letta was trying to explain how the future lay with his Margherita party, which rejected both Berlusconi and the Communist heritage of the left. I had the (immodest) impression that I understood Letta's situation better than he himself did. His centrism was temporary. The left had already captured him. Berlusconi's charisma and money were essential to the right, but the left could get rid of the Communist stigma by merely changing its name, which it had already done a number of times. When the various Communist, post-Communist, socialist, and antiglobalist groups reconstituted themselves as the Democratic party in 2007, Letta was among its founding members.
But Letta knew what he was doing. Here is the difference between a "moderate Republican" in the United States and a centrist on the Italian left: No one needs a moderate Republican. But for two decades Italy's leftists have had a desperate need for moderates, as a means of staving off reform on the inside while implying to everyone on the outside that such reform was actually taking place. That pivotal position has now made Letta prime minister, with a lot of help from the financial crisis of the last half-decade.
In 2009, two longhaired baby boomers—a shaggy, grumpy comedian named Beppe Grillo and his somewhat spiffier adviser, the futuristic PR man Gianroberto Casaleggio—started a party called the Five-Star Movement (which they deny is a party at all). They had noticed that the followers of Grillo's blog were responding to his pox-on-both-their-houses riffs with a frenzied enthusiasm. The frustrated grillini (which means "little crickets" in Italian) were similar to the people who flocked to MoveOn and Meetup in the middle of the Bush years, except that they lacked a single hate object. Grillo's people have an almost religious faith in the Internet, and in the ability of "direct democracy" to solve Italy's corruption problems. Over the Net, they began to organize "V-Days," messageless, rather primal gatherings where mostly young participants would rally behind the slogan Vaffanculo, the Italian version of the universal insult telling people where to stick it.

Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON, DC, Nov. 15 -- Carroll Independent Fuel Co. reached a consent agreement with the US Environmental Protection Agency Nov. 14 in which the Baltimore-based heating oil, gasoline, and products distributor agreed to pay a $284,156 civil penalty and complete a special environmental project at 32 of its facilities in Maryland.
EPA's regional office in Philadelphia cited Carroll for several underground storage tank (UST) violations including failure to perform release detection, meet new UST system standards for spill and over-fill prevention, provide corrosion protection on metal piping, investigate a suspected release, report a suspected release, and perform lint tightness testing.
The alleged violations were documented through multifacility underground storage tank audits submitted to EPA by Carroll's auditor after the company entered into a consent agreement and final order on June 30 to audit all of its facilities for compliance.
As part of the settlement, Carroll neither admitted nor denied liability for the violations. The company also agreed to implement a $447,000 environmental project, to be determined, to secure significant environmental or public health protections, EPA said.

Harry Styles: I Expect Ex Taylor Swift To Write Songs About Me
Let the ex tunes begin! Writing chart-topping breakup hits is nothing new to Taylor Swift, and now one of her more recent famous exes — One Direction's Harry Styles — reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly that he fully expects the 23-year-old entertainer to use their past relationship as inspiration.
PHOTOS: Taylor Swift's romantic history
"It would be hypocritical for me to say she couldn't do it because everybody writes songs based on personal experience," the 19-year-old singer tells Us. "I can't say I'd have dated someone less famous to avoid it." The British heartthrob split from the "I Knew You Were Trouble" singer-songwriter in early January after a few months of dating.
PHOTOS: The biggest boy bands of all-time
Denying that he's nervous about getting the John Mayer treatment (Swift slammed the musician in the song "Dear John" off her third studio album Speak Now in 2010) the "What Makes You Beautiful" singer jokes, "at least she's a great songwriter!"
Swift may be his most high-profiled relationship to date, but Styles doesn't think being in the public eye makes a difference when it comes to dating.
PHOTOS: Taylor Swift's best surprise faces
"I think it's people, you like people for who they are, so I couldn't say I want to date someone less famous because of the hassle. You like who you like," he explains.
"I think relationships are hard enough, so I think you have to completely ignore everything from outside," he adds. "When you're in the opening stages of a relationship as it is, you're still under the pressure of getting to know everything about a person. If you have a lot of people from outside telling you what it is and they don't even know you, telling you what your relationship is, that's weird. So I think you sort of have to block it out and just have the relationship rather than think - we're having this relationship play out on magazine covers."
VIDEO: Taylor Swift slams Harry Styles at the Grammys
So, what does the singer look for in a girl? "Someone with a cute laugh and a good smile," he reveals. "Someone you can have fun with - I like someone who's up for doing stuff in terms of like, trying new things and going out new places. Not just someone who does nothing and wants to sit around."

I mounted this clamp off my Hi-Hat for two cowbells. I was always kicking over the small stand when I'd try to squeeze by. Very solid and well constructed. This clamp doesn't move. The only thing is Musicians Friend doesn't sell the DW L-Bracket for the cowbells which I had to order from DW. I'll be ordering a second for my Road Gear.

Australians Face Huge Fines For Speaking Ill Of New Carbon Tax
Posted By paul On May 25, 2012 @ 8:53 am In Featured Stories,Global Crisis,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled
The tax whose name cannot be spoken
Paul Joseph Watson
Friday, May 25, 2012
Praised by Barack Obama as a model for the world, Australia's highly unpopular carbon tax, set to take effect from July 1st, is set to be policed by laws which forbid business owners from criticizing it for causing price rises – with thought criminals who do so under threat of being hit with huge fines of over $1 million dollars.
"SHOPS and restaurants could face fines up to $1.1 million if waiters or sales staff wrongly blame the carbon tax for price rises or exaggerate the impact," reports the Daily Telegraph.
According to ACCC deputy chairman Dr Michael Schaper, the warning applies, "to comments made by staff over the phone, on the shop floor or in meetings. It also covers advertising, product labels, websites, invoices, contracts and contract negotiations."
This draconian measure will be enforced by teams of "carbon cops" who roam the streets conducting snap inspections of businesses to ensure they are not making any reference to the tax.
The characterization of dissent against the carbon tax as a criminal offense exemplifies how the measure passed last year goes way beyond merely forcing Australia's top 500 companies to pay an extra $23.78 per each tonne of CO2 emitted. The system will be rolled into a carbon trading system by 2015.
Not only will Australians be whacked with price rises on everything from energy to food, small business owners will also be intimidated into silence when they are forced to pay out more for key supplies. Energy prices across the country have already been skyrocketing over the course of the last year.
After the carbon tax bill passed Australia's federal parliament last year, the government set about "trying to erase any dissent against the jobs-destroying legislation," wrote Miranda Devine.
"It's all very Orwellian: the tax whose name cannot be spoken. We are already paying for the climate-change hysteria that has gripped Australia for a decade."
"But no matter how Orwellian the tactics, no matter how many carbon cops are sent into hairdressing salons to interrogate barbers on the precise nature of their price rises, the truth remains: Australia has gone out on a limb, imposing a carbon tax that will send businesses to the wall, cause undue hardship to families, and tether Australians more tightly to government handouts."
"And soon, we will send billions of dollars overseas to buy useless pieces of paper called carbon credits. Investment bankers, lawyers and carbon traders will get rich, as will all the usual spivs and scam artists ready to stick a bucket under the government spigot raining taxpayer cash."
Although Barack Obama has largely been forced to abandon a carbon tax for Americans, instead targeting coal-fired power plants via EPA mandates, last year he praised the Australian system as being "good for the world."
As we have documented, the entire carbon tax scam is a monumental fraud which does nothing to help the environment even if you believe in climate change hysteria, in that its primary purpose is to line the pockets of 'carbon billionaires' like Al Gore and Maurice Strong.
Obama's support for Australia's carbon tax is unsurprising given the fact that he was "instrumental in developing and launching the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange" via millions of dollars in donations from the Joyce Foundation, with whom Obama served as a director.
Carbon trading schemes are directly connected to people in third world nations like Honduras and Uganda being brutally evicted from their land and in some cases slaughtered in cold blood. Western companies make billions from seizing land and using it to grow trees in return for lucrative carbon credits which are then sold to companies under carbon tax schemes like the one passed in Australia.

To say the next big thing on the burgeoning Oklahoma craft beer scene looks somewhat inauspicious would be a bit of an understatement.
One look at the OKCity Brewing Co. warehouse from the outside, and you're not left with a great deal of confidence in its potential. The plain, yellowish building sits in a rundown area just west of downtown where the weeds that grow up through cracks in the concrete are taller than some cars.

After 27 years 'The Blades' reform to play two nights at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin this weekend, the 13th and 14th December. Formed in 1977 The Blades achieved notoriety on the Dublin music scene playing venues like the Magnet and McGonagles. They also made a number of television appearances including performances on 'The Late Late Show' and 'Anything Goes' in 1981. This video for the song 'Tell Me Lies' was made especially for 'Anything Goes' at RTÉ and was broadcast in April 1981 in a special programme featuring the best of Irish music videos.
The video is introduced by 'Anything Goes' presenter Dave Heffernan.
Although Dave Heffernan refers to the recording date for the video as 1 November 1981, we believe that he may have meant to say 1 November 1980, as this programme was broadcast in April 1981.

Jury selection for David Bisard trial enters 2nd day
FORT WAYNE, Ind. - A seven-man, five-woman jury has been paneled for the trial of suspended IMPD Officer David Bisard.
All 12 jurors in the trial had been selected as of Tuesday afternoon, along with three jury member alternates. The trial begins Wednesday morning.
Special Section: David Bisard Trial
Lawyers in the trial of David Bisard had agreed on 10 jurors by Monday evening. As of 10:45 a.m. Tuesday, another juror had been selected, bringing the number to six women and five men.
However, one of those women was struck from the jury for unknown reasons at roughly noon Tuesday. That brought the jury count back down to five men and five women. Then, two more men were selected, finalizing the 12-person jury with seven men and five women.
As of 3 p.m. all three alternates for the jury had been selected. Those chosen were two women and one man.
Jury selection questionnaires were sent to 300 people. The 16-page questionnaire asked many questions familiar to criminal cases, but also delved into specifics.
One of the questions asked if potential jurors ride a motorcycle and if they drink alcohol. Another asked if prospective jurors have bumper stickers on their vehicles.
"The whole idea is to identify individuals who have come in with some bias and preconceived notions. And certainly, no one wants these individuals on the jury, and so it is an important part of any trial," Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry said.
Forty-seven prospective jurors were in court on Monday and 55 were there Tuesday.
Blood tests expected to be introduced as evidence showed Bisard had a blood-alcohol level more than twice Indiana's legal limit of 0.08 percent at the time of the 2010 crash.

Struggling up a hill the other day I tried one time too many to shift in to a lower gear. (I was already in the 34-23 gear) I pushed a little too hard on the shifter and SNAP, something inside the shifter broke and I could only shift to a smaller cog not back up to easier gears. I was surprised how easily it broke. Fortunately the bike is new and the shop replaced the DA 7900 shifter free.
I'm wondering if the shifter was defective or was I just a clumsy oaf and use too much force? I would think there should be a clutch of some sort that would give way if the derailleur was at its limit. I'm afraid it may happen again.

"Spanning much of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the novel follows the fortunes of the extraordinary Whittaker family as led by the enterprising Henry Whittaker--a poor-born Englishman who makes a great fortune in the South American quinine trade, eventually becoming the richest man in Philadelphia. Born in 1800, Henry's brilliant daughter, Alma (who inherits both her father's money and his mind), ultimately becomes a botanist of considerable gifts herself. As Alma's research takes her deeper into the mysteries of evolution, she falls in love with a man named Ambrose Pike who makes incomparable paintings of orchids and who draws her in the exact opposite direction--into the realm of the spiritual, the divine, and the magical. Alma is a clear-minded scientist; Ambrose a utopian artist--but what unites this unlikely couple is a desperate need to understand the workings of this world and the mechanisms behind all life. he story is peopled with unforgettable characters: missionaries, abolitionists, adventurers, astronomers, sea captains, geniuses, and the quite mad. But most memorable of all, it is the story of Alma Whittaker, who--born in the Age of Enlightenment, but living well into the Industrial Revolution--bears witness to that extraordinary moment in human history when all the old assumptions about science, religion, commerce, and class were exploding into dangerous new ideas"--

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- Michigan farmers say it is time for the federal government to make big changes to its immigration policy.
The state's agriculture industry leaders are in Grand Rapids this week. Their crops are in, and they're in meetings --Michigan Farm Bureau meetings.
One of their top concerns of farm bureau members isfinding people to pick their produce. They say they will only do that with reform to the country's immigration policy.
Jeff VanderWerff, a Sparta fruit and crops grower is one of the 500 delegates voting on policy positions here this week.
"We need a guest worker program that we can work with - that's the bottom line," says VanderWerff.
The current program, he says, is very cumbersome and costly, and threatens the labor needed to harvest the crops he and other Michigan farmers grow.
VanderWerff says cold weather killed most of Michigan's apple crop this year. Migrants who arrived to pick apples left early. Without immigration reform, he fears, they won't return when the harvest does.

I did not like the Curling Custard for styling my hair (I did a twistout, had some definition at first but slowly went away) but it was a great moisturizer that didn't bring out my natural pattern very much. I didn't mind the smell, there are definitely other products in this line that smell worse. I agree that it is more of a thick lotion than a curling custard. Combining it with the Triple Moisture Lotion really added to the moisture in my hair. Would not purchase again.
This product was waaaaay too watery for my hair. Even after trying to give hold to my twist by covering in the holding wax my twist out didn't last 2 days (I can typically get away with 7 day hair) so that tells you something.
This literally did NOTHING for my type 4 hair! It smells like Elmers glue and it felt like raking water through my hair. It left my hair feeling dry. Here's my review of the entire Ossat Naturals line. http://youtu.be/acXU08fjiH8
Watery consistency, it was ok, didn't seem to enhance my curl much. This product along with the lotion and gelly did not help to keep my hair moisturized and made it feel a tad crunchy.
Not impressed! This product, along with the the lotion, made my hair very very DRY!!! These products had a plant like smell and it also smelled like the pink bottle of RAID. My next day hair was dull, stiff, lifeless, just a H.A.M!!
The best word I can think of to describe this product is "womp." The consistency was thinned out and a little tacky/greasy... just like watered down Elmer's glue. It left a weird residue behind and felt as though it was just sitting on top of my hair, not penetrating or adding anything of substance to it. I also did not care for the smell, which similar to the shampoo in this line, made me wonder why or better yet HOW this passed inspection. Save your money and time. No need to try this one.
I wasnt impressed with the curling custard. It was thin and the hold was much too light. Not to mention it began to dry my hair some.
Super great product...I saw it as more of a moisturizer and not an actual styling product and for that reason I'm very pleased with it.
It has a pleasant smell, but to light for me.....weird, sticky texture. When applying it to my damp hair, it didn't seem to adhere, like it was evaporating. My twist out were too soft and my roots were spongy. No definition to be found. If I attempt to use this again, I may try to mix it with another product and hopefully have better results.
Again, with the scent. I have trouble getting past a smell I know will last on my hair. Anyways, the product looked promising and helped with moisture. For 2C hair, it'll require more experimenting for sure.
This product was not my favorite. It was a little drying and left my hair with a tacky feel.
HATED this along with the Moisture Lotion!!! I used them together for more moisture and they left little white balls in my hair! My hair felt sticky and plain ole DIRTY! I had to wash it out the very next day. Even while applying it, it felt weird on my hands. I saw the two products separating in my hands as I rubbed them together. I just assumed that they would mesh well together when on my hair. I will NEVER purchase this or the Lotion. On the bright side, it smelled really good. Which is why I was excited about trying it. Oh well!
I liked the lightness of this product. However, I only gave it one curl because it did not enhance my curls. Once my hair dried, my hair did not feel moisturized (even when used with the lotion).
The curling custard did not enhance my curls. It was moisturizing to my hair, but that's it. It is more of a thick lotion than a curling custard.
I actually like this product the best out of the entire line. It didn't define my twist outs, but it left them very moisturized and and I have super thick very dry hair. I also use this product as a daily moisturizer for my four-year-old daughter's hair.
I hated this product. I used this product after using the lotion as a leave in on clean hair, before I applied this product i have to note that my hair was soft and fluffly to where i could run my hands through my kinky curls. I knew i did not like this product as i was styling my hair just from the way it felt on my hands. My hands were dry, yet sticky at the same time. I kept going hoping the product would do its self justice once my hair dried. The next day, the take down of my twist was interesting, my hair was still sticky but the definition was great. The product was a bust for me as soon as i hit the door. My hair immediately lost all curl definition, turned into a dry shrunken fro, which in return for me equals knots and tangles.
I can not stand how this product smell. When I had first applied the curling custard to my hair, I liked how moisturized my hair felt. The moisture lasted for days. It gave me good curl definition, but at the same time my hair and hands was left feeling sticky. I do not like that this product shrinks up my hair because of the glycerin that is in it.
When putting the product on, it does not feel "slippery" enough for me. It leaves my hair soft and no frizz, but not heavy enough to give me big thick curls. I got no definition, just lots of thin straggly curls. Nice shine.
I had such high hopes for this product. When I applied it to damp hair, it smoothed and softened my hair instantly. It didn't leave my hair crunchy but it didn't impart any shine. When I rocked a twist out a couple of days later, it didn't last. I hardly had any definition as I unraveled my hair and that never happens. I end up using a paddle brush and rock a fro. My fro felt sticky and a little rough. I don't know what was the culprit...the moisturizer, oil, or custard. Hmm...
I wasn't too impressed with this product. The scent, well, it smells like paint. I can overlook smell if the product is decent, but this just didn't do anything for my hair. I used it with the shaping gelly for a twist out. I applied it first and it seemed to just take the moisture out of my hair. Alone this didn't provide any definition and my hair looked dry. Applying the Gelly seemed to add a little moisture and shine back to my hair. The twist out turned out good after drying, no flakes, not stiff and crunchy. I did notice my hair didn't seem really moisturized. The Twist out only lasted 2 days. The instructions say to use the Triple moisture lotion along with it for added moisture, which i will try next. I only gave it 1 curl because I've used the other products in this line and they seem to work well together or alone. Not so much with this one.
This product offered a bit of curl definition but no shine. The fragrance did not appeal to me.
Did not help my hair look very defined nor shiny, yet didn't smell as sickening as the co-wash. I have a possibility of giving this a second chance with another hair style.
I used this product on top of the Triple Moisture lotion, to help give my wash-and-go hair the weighted moisture it needed. It is thick and smells similar to the root and extract fragrance of the Moisture Mask, but not as strong. It helped give my short, kinky curls good definition and shine.
If you've read my other Ossat reviews you'll know that I use an entire product line in order to get a fair assessment and that I also have a 2-day process to get my look. But I happened to be able to use it before I washed my hair to finish out my week, and then again after I washed with the other products in this line. When I used it on my dry hair, the custard performed like my other twist cream--it set my two strand twists so that my twist out kept its shape BUT failed to keep throughout the day (full disclosure, my hair shrinks tremendously in the humidity and we've been experiencing very low humidity this past week). I figured that the Curling Custard deserved another try so I used the custard as part of my Day 2 hair regiment with other Ossat products. Day 2 for me is about setting my twists or braids after I've stretched the hair during Day 1. I need my twist cream/custard to handle the job of creating great twists and maintaining them throughout the day. Period. That's all. Because I re-twist every night (humidity is no joke) I only need the application to last one day and the curling custard did not. I lost my first day twist--even in the low humidity--but my hair was so soft and touchable. I'm thinking it would work better with someone whose hair isn't as effected by the elements as mine is. I'm giving it a 3 because my hair was so soft even without the shape!!

Austin Airport Busy With F1 Attendee Departures
Updated: Monday, November 19 2012, 07:59 PM CST
With Formula One wrapped up, officials with Austin-Bergstrom International Airport say they're seeing larger crowds of people queuing up to depart.
ABIA spokesman Jim Halbrook says they're expecting 21,800 passengers to depart Monday. By comparison, the day after October's Austin City Limits Music Festival only saw about 18,000 departures.
Security processed 9,098 passengers between 4 a.m. – 9 a.m. Last Monday, only about 5,000 passengers went through security during the same time period, according to Halbrook.
Larger aircraft and seven extra flights were being used to transport the extra people, Halbrook says.

One of the locations missing from Mass Effect 3 was Omega, the hive of scum and villainy you first visited to pick up a few friends and make a few enemies in Mass Effect 2. There were dialogue options that hinted at a plan to retake the space station from Cerberus but nothing in the actual game itself.
Enterprising fans have found a few hints that Omega won't stay occupied for long.
As fans of the comics know Cerberus took Omega in order to guard the Omega 4 relay and force out Aria. But that was it: In fact you had to read the comics to get the full story.
Fans took apart the new Firefight DLC to browse the code and found a few interesting hints. Several weapon modifications that aren't yet active in the game are tagged with the "Omg" location used in Mass Effect 2 to note that a specific item could be found on Omega.
Of course this is far from an official announcement but this same method was used to discover the upcoming Levithan DLC was on the way. And it seems odd to spend so much time setting up what would seem to be a fairly key mission without acting on it. We'll keep you posted as BioWare updates its plans.
