SACRAMENTO ZOO'S 15TH ANNUAL WILD AFFAIRA magical evening of locally grown food, drink & entertainment; a party with a purpose
Experience the 15th annual Wild Affair at the Sacramento Zoo on Saturday evening, October 2nd from 5:00 to 10:00 pm. Guests will enjoy regional food, cocktails with local ingredients, silent and live auctions and exclusive behind-the-scenes tours. Proceeds from the event benefit one of our native species, the North American river otter.
Unlike any other Sacramento gala, Wild Affair offers the opportunity to experience chimpanzees and lemurs up close, tour where snow leopards and giant anteaters dwell, and stand eye to eye with the giraffes at the brand new Tall Wonders Pavilion. Behind-the-scenes tours are guided by the animal care staff.
At dusk, guests will enjoy a delicious Farm-to-Fork dinner prepared by Patrick Mulvaney of Mulvaney Building & Loan. Live auction offerings include a dinner party for 10 with the giraffes at the Tall Wonders Pavilion; a Conservation Carousel party for 32 favorite friends; or a Champagne Yacht Cruise on the River for six. This magical evening is hosted by Dave Bender of CBS13. Throughout dinner the Sacramento Zoo staff and volunteers will perform "My Fair Otter," written by Ed Goldman, theatre enthusiast and columnist for Sacramento Magazine, (you may notice some similarities to the classic notes of My Fair Lady).
Wild Affair is a party with a purpose; proceeds from the event benefit Splash! North American River Otter Habitat Expansion Project. One of the older exhibits at the Zoo, the otter pool and holding area are in need of a facelift. Plans are on the drawing board for renovation of the current exhibit to enlarge the usable space, provide more adequate off-exhibit dens and keeper area, and allow for a more visually-pleasing habitat for visitors to observe and enjoy the daily antics of the Zoo's two North American river otters.
Tickets for Wild Affair are $150 per person and a table sponsorship for eight is $1,500. Space is limited; early reservations are recommended. Please call 916-808-8815 or visit saczoo.com for information and reservations.

Actor and playwright Anna Deavere Smith will give the 2014 David P. Gardner Lecture in the Humanities and Fine Arts on Wednesday, Jan. 15, at the University of Utah.
Sponsored by the Tanner Humanities Center, Smith's lecture, titled "Health Care: The Human Story," will be at 7 p.m. in Kingsbury Hall, 1395 E. Presidents Circle, Salt Lake City. The event is free and open to the public, but tickets are required. They are available through the Kingsbury Hall box office (Kingtix.com or 801-581-7100).
For her one-woman show, "Let Me Down Easy," Smith interviewed patients, doctors and administrators about the complexities of the American health-care system.
Smith is an actor, teacher, playwright and the creator of an acclaimed series of one-woman plays based on her interviews with diverse voices from communities in crisis. She has won two Obie Awards, two Tony nominations for her play "Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992," a MacArthur Fellowship, and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for her play "Fires in the Mirror." In January 2013, she was awarded the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize.

She is the founder and director of the Institute on the Arts and Civic Dialogue and a professor of performance studies at New York University.
Bob Goldberg, professor of history and director of the Tanner Humanities Center, said Smith is "an exceptional performer and artist whose explorations of complicated social and moral issues accentuate our shared humanity."

Jul15 Put, $0.75, $25 Strike
Part of a screener test. I looked at 4-5 star stocks, with a dividend yield above 2.5%, gross margins above 25%, price 0-50% below 52-week high, with 3-year EPS of 5+, P/E < 40. These are all interesting PEGY plays for me.
This is a real-life holding of mine through my investment club.
Since 2011, sales have grown at an annual compound rate of 10%, and EPS has grown at an annual compound rate of 14%. The profit margin has grown over the past 2 years, as has the earned-on-equity. The debt-to-equity is very high, averaging about 420% over the past 3 years. The current P/E is within the trading range of the past 2 years, so is fairly reasonably priced. The PEG ratio is an attractive 0.69. The stock pays a dividend yield of about 8%, which is very good.
I think that the stock, if the company keeps up with current growth rates, could increase about 14% annually over the next several years. Add in that attractive 8% dividend yield, and I am hoping for a 22% annual compound yield out of this investment, potentially even more if I reinvest the dividends. Here's hoping it plays out as hoped.
Recent sharp pullback, taking the 6.5% yield, especially as the market is due for a correction. Yield should keep stock price afloat, especially if it continues to increase
This is a high-yield, growing dividend story. TAL turned up in research for High Yield: Stocks or Bonds?
TAL is in the business of leasing shipping containers. The company sports a 6+% yield and has been steadily cranking up the payout for the last three years.
The bull case:
High, growing dividend.
Improving economy, even sluggish improvement, should be good for trade = demand for shipping containers.
Strong business moat. This business requires a global infrastructure to track, stack and shuffle containers.
Bear case:
Lots of debt.
That improving economy may turn out to be a mirage.
Pick start price: $43.59
Disclosure: Long TAL, fortunately at a lower price than my CAPS pick.
TAL International is a containers company. It has ~99% utilization rate, steady cash flow, and a business model that makes it easier to see into the future (lease structures range anywhere from 1-8 years). Their leases also ensure that they have limited liability for damages done to the containers.
Out of their base of 300 customers include all 25 of the world's largest shipping lines, including Maersk. Although there is significant customer concentration, this is the case for most companies in this business.
I found it with the same screen that found me NRF years ago.

TAL International Group, Inc. acquires and leases intermodal freight containers and chassis to customers worldwide. Its fleet consists of approximately 702,00 containers and related equipment. Tal operates 18 offices in 11 countries and about 199 container depot facilities in 37 countries. LEASING DEMAND, WHICH TYPICALLY SLOWS IN THE FOURTH QUARTER AS THE SUMMER PEAK SEASON FADES, ACTUALLY IMPROVED THROUGHOUT THE FOURTH QUARTER. TAL'S CUSTOMERS HAVE ALSO SAID THAT TRAD3 VOLUMES HAVE BEEN STRONGER SINCE THE MIDDLE OF 2009 AND THAT THEY ARE ADDIND CAPACITY BACK INTO THEIR FLEETS. Tal reported 4th quarter earnings of $.24. they will restart the divident program, the initial payout will be$.25 for stockholders of record on March 11. this is a current yield of 5.5%
As one of the world's largest lessors of intermodal freight containers and chassis TAL's revenue should be affected positively by any increase in global economic activity.

Trout talks: The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency plans to meet with officials from the TVA and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to study the state's popular trout-stocking program.
Currently, most of the trout released in Tennessee waters are raised at three federal fish hatcheries in Erin, Celina and Suches, Ga. The TWRA helps fund the project with proceeds from the sale of trout licenses. The TVA also provides $900,000 a year for the hatchery program.
Trout fishing provides outdoors recreation for thousands of Tennesseans, and has a major economic impact from the sale of tackle and related revenues.
There has been concern that federal revenue cutbacks could have an impact on the program's future.
Upcoming fishing events: The TWRA has a number of youth fishing events scheduled this summer, including several that coincide with the June 7 Free Fishing Day.
The list of events is posted on the TWRA website (tnwildlife.org), and the list will be periodically updated as new events are added.
Interscholastic shooting team: An interscholastic trap-shooting team for Wilson County youngsters is being organized, with Ben Schade as coach.
The Cedar City Straights is open to youngsters age nine through high school, and will compete in state, regional and national competitions. Training will be held at the Cedar City Gun Club.
For information call Schade at 615-478-8019.
May 10-June 11: spring squirrel season
June 7: Free Fishing Day in Tennessee
July 23: applications for WMA quota hunts

1994 Lincoln Mark VIII • V8 2WD Automatic • 152,000 miles

August 16, 2011.
That code is for insufficient flow. There are basically 2 things that cause that on a Ford. One is the DPFE sensor which you have already replaced and the other is the passage through the intake gets plugged up with carbon. You can find this out by applying vacuum to the EGR at idle. If the engine doesn't try to stall, the passage is plugged. Sometimes yoy have to remove the throttle body to find the passage but it's in there somewhere.

Efforts made to save historic Courthouse in Walthall
Efforts made to Save Historic Courthouse in Walthall
Local and state officials are encouraging Webster County officials to restore the 1915-built Webster County Courthouse in Walthall, Miss., which was recently gutted by a fire caused by an electrical malfunction.
State officials, included Mississippi Supreme Court Chief Justice Bill Waller Jr. have visited the Courthouse and encouraged the county board to restore the building and to appreciate the value of its history.
"The building is built extremely well – much of it with 12 inch thick floor slab systems, 3 wythe thick brick masonry walls and a fireproof liner of thin clay tile blocks. The ground floor received very little fire damage."
"This type of funding, based on restoring the existing building, would help ensure that the Courthouse can be preserved for the county," Stewart added.
According to a recent release, members of the Board of Supervisors, Emergency Management Agency, Chancery and Circuit Clerks, law enforcement and other Webster County officials have worked nonstop for the past week to save and move county records and property damaged in the Courthouse fire, and to arrange for a temporary location for the displaced offices.
Webster County government offices displaced by the recent fire that gutted the 1915-built building have temporarily moved from the Webster County Courthouse in Walthall to the Fox Avenue location in Eupora, including the offices of the Webster County Chancery Clerk, Circuit Clerk, Tax Assessor-Collector, Forestry Commission and County Purchasing Clerk.
County offices displaced from Walthall will temporarily share space with the Webster County Extension Service and the Webster County Justice Court. The Extension Service and Justice Court are permanently housed in Eupora. County workers have done emergency modifications to the Extension Service and Justice Court facility in Eupora to accommodate those offices displaced by the fire in Walthall.
No decision has been made regarding a permanent location for the offices, which occupied the courthouse in Walthall.

I have a Janome 300E (which I love) and I have started doing a lot more embroidery which means I am really using a lot of bobbin fill.
I have been using the Janome bobbin fill which works great on my machine, but it seems to only come in tiny spools of 800m or so and I prefer to buy things like this in bulk (because nothing kills a fun weekend sewing like running out of something 5 minutes after the store closes)
I did get a cone of bobbin fill when I bought a set of threads last year but each time I have used it I got little white threads on the surface of my work.
So I would love to know what others use for bobbin fill?
Is there a trick to winding bobbins from a cone?
What about pre-wound bobbins?
Thanks in advance
------Bernina 780, Bernina 550QE, Elna 845, Janome and Coverpro 1000cpx
I buy Bottom Line (by Superior) by the large cones and wind my own bobbins. It is much cheaper that way. BL also comes in a variety of colors and I'll sometimes buy the smaller spools for special projects. It also makes a great bobbin thread for machine quilting.
------ iPad's auto-correct is my enema.
I've always used bobbin thread, but recently I've been using serger thread, especially if the backside will show (like with a towel), that way I can match the back with the front, or match the towel.
I have a thread cone stand, that I use for machine sewing, and I use it when winding bobbins.
------My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since.
I like Coats and Clark Astra bobbin fill in lots of machines, (which is spun polyester) on the large commercial cone. Have not tried it in a Janome 300E, but it works nice and fine for me in a elna 8600, which would really be about the same thing. You probably would need a thread stand in order to wind a bobbin from it though, unless you just wanted to use a coffee cup with a coat hanger wrapped around it, as your make do thread stand.
My Janome 350e *loves* the pre-filled bobbins from Metro Embroidery.
They're super inexpensive, and save me a whole lot of time having to wind bobbins. I'd never go back to winding my own.
Thanks for the replies
I will look into all these suggestions, I do have a thread stand so I can wind a bobbin from a larger cone, I tried this with the cheapie cone of bobbin thread and it made the bobbin thread show on the front of my work. no idea if this was caused by the thread or how I wound the bobbin.
I will have to look into the pre-wound bobbins, does anyone know what size (type) they take?
Thanks again I really appreciate it
I tired the Metro prewounds on my Janome 350e and it didn't like them. The thread was thinner and the stitching pulled to the front no matter how many times I adjusted the machine. The Metro top threads work great though.
I'd love to get some other suggestions too as some of the bobbin thread is just as expensive as the top thread! I was hoping for something inexpensive, but the Janome thread really has worked the best so far for me. It's just $$$.
If I stitch fast enough, does it count as aerobic exercise?
I use pre-filled bobbins without any problem on my Viking. When I need a color in the bobbin I usually use embroidery thread. I have used serger thread but the embroidery thread matches exactly and I have never had a breakage problem.

Delaware State University will launch its annual Kickoff to Wellness on Jan. 19 featuring guest motivational speaker Dominique Dawes, a multiple Olympic gold medal gymnast who currently serves as co-chair of President Obama's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition.
The motivational address will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 19, in the Education and Humanities Building Theater on campus. The event is free and open to the public.
Ms. Dawes is the only modern American gymnast to win medals in three different Olympics – 1992, 1996 and 2000. She also is the only African-American to win a medal in a single gymnastic event.
Fans across the U.S. and around the world remember her as a member of the gold medal-winning "Magnificent Seven" at the 1996 Atlanta Games, where she also won a bronze medal as she wowed the crowd with her stunning performance in the floor exercise, becoming the first female African-American gymnast to win an individual medal.
Throughout her career, Ms. Dawes has won more National Championship medals than any other athlete -- male or female -- since 1963, as well as numerous World Championship medals. One of her greatest feats came when she swept all four events and won the All-Around title at the 1994 National Championships.
Ms. Dawes continues her passion for sports and for helping people achieve their dreams by being a mentor and a coach. Since 2010, she co-chairs President Obama's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition. She is winner of the Henry P. Iba Citizen Award, the National Gymnastics Federation's Sportsperson of the Year, and a finalist for both the AAU Sullivan and Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. Working with the Girl Scouts of the USA, she helped launch "Unique Me! The Girl Scout Self-Esteem" program.
Ms. Dawes' guest presentation is sponsored by the DSU Division of Student Affairs, the Delaware Center for Health Promotions, AstraZeneca, and Nemours Health and Preventive Services.

On weekend evenings, the place turns into a locally popular nightclub. Breakfast is offered on weekends only. It's a good place for casual fare, however, note that some diners have complained about service.

Hm, I politely disagree. Just because something is a fan-favorite does not mean the author is obliged to make it canon. Though, its nice to think about, given the nature of this thread, right?
More pairings I wish were official:
Akiyama Shinichi and Kanzaki Nao from Liar Game. They have a good compare/contrast that I love to see in romance: Akiyama is the Brains and Kanzaki is the Heart, and throughout the storyline they influence each other. And at their core, they aren't that different from one another.
I don't know if anyone follows Kyoukai no Rinne, but I really like Jumonji Tsubasa and Ageha together. :3c The best way to describe them is Pair the Spares, but I honestly love the chemistry between them, they have this classic Takahashi banter going on.
And of course, Zenkichi and Medaka from Medaka Box. Because I'm a masochist and I like childhood romances. =(

HARRIS RESERVOIR. Harris Reservoir, also known as William Harris Reservoir, is eight miles northwest of Angleton in the San Jacinto-Brazos coastal basin in Brazoria County (at 29°15' N, 95°32' W). The reservoir was named for early settler William Harrisqv, who was granted land in what is now Brazoria County in 1824. Harris Reservoir is an off-channel project between the Brazos River and Oyster Creek, owned and operated by the Dow Chemical Company as an industrial water supply for several plants near Freeport. Construction of the project, engineered by Lockwood and Andrews, was completed in July 1947. The reservoir has a normal capacity of 12,000 acre-feet and a surface area of 1,663 acres at normal maximum water surface elevation of forty-three feet above mean sea level. Water is obtained for the reservoir by pumping from the Brazos River and is released from the reservoir by gravity flow to Oyster Creek. From there it is distributed by canal for use at the industrial plants.

SEDAN, Kan. — An aging black Labrador retriever who walked 30 miles back to a Kansas family who didn't want her took a private jet to her new home with a Florida heiress.
Once called Ma Kettle but now known as Lady, the slightly grizzled dog has struggled to find a permanent home since she was taken to the Chautauqua County Animal Shelter after her owner died in 2012.
Kelsey Loyd has twice cared for Lady at the shelter. She told KWCH-TV that the first family who adopted her returned her because she was rough with their puppy. Then she escaped from the backyard of the Independence woman who had subsequently adopted her, trudging the 30 miles back to the family's home.
Neither the family nor the woman wanted her back, so she was returned to the shelter.
Loyd described Lady as a "super dog, gentle, calm dog" and struggled to understand why no one wanted the friendly lab.
"If I had to pick a dog this would have been the dog I would take," she said.
Lady's life changed when her story was spotted on Facebook by Helen Rich, an heiress to the Wrigley gum company who lives in Florida and has an animal sanctuary there.
Rich sent her assistant, Chet Ragsdale, to southeast Kansas in a private jet to retrieve the retriever. He made the trip to Independence Municipal Airport on Thursday, arriving back in Tampa with Lady late that night.
"She going to think she's gone to heaven," Ragsdale said.

Hey, so I took this using a tripod on my grandparent's pool deck. The sun was in everyone's eyes and it was just all around a bad picture. Anyways, in regards to the lighting, or lack of it on certain family members faces wearing hats, what can I do? I dont have any photo editing software besides Picasa.
Views: 80
Actually the image is under exposed and has a lot of noise that I noticed after opening the file. Really need to raise the exposure and fill light maybe. Use a curve or level adjustment. There is gimp, is a free image manipulation that will allow you to do these edits and much more. I'm sure there are other free software out there that will help you with this. Good luck!
The best way to take this shot is to have everyone in total shade (no light spots) and use a fill flash to lighten the faces. Even better would be on an overcast day but that wasn't the case. I think Terry did the best that can be done on the recovery.
Ron is spot on here and his advice is perfect. In the future, have the sun at the subjects back, turn the flash on and set the "Exposure Compensation" to around -1. Test this and then adjust the compensation until you get a good, evenly lighted, scene, then do your portraits (the operative here is "Test" and "Test" and Test"). Your sucess rate will be very high and clients/family will enjoy the results as well. And those wearing hats ... tip them back, it will make them appear friendlier, and you'll get high-lights in their eyes (this is a must in all portraiture).
Terry - nice work on his image, even if it was a quickie.
Thanks everyone SO much. I know this was an horrendus shot, but i was VERY nervous about taking this shot. It was incredibly windy and I had to set my tripod in front of a pool.....I dont think I need to clarify what I was nervous about. Terry, thank you for attempting to fix my screw up, I have started trying to learn gimp, and I've achieved a similar result. I can't seem to be able to fix the man in the far corner's face fully, but it should be ok. There were really no places to take a group shot with a tripod, the yard is all hills. It's just for my family, nothing really so important that the edited version wont suffice. Thanks again.

|Quantification of duodenogastric reflux in gastroduodenal peptic ulcer and in gastric operation patients, using a 24-h gastric pH measurement as a quantification technique.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 2340394 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Twenty-four-hour gastric pH measurement was used to study duodenogastric reflux. To differentiate between gastric hyposecretion and duodenogastric reflux, we also measured bile acid concentrations in the gastric juice, and regarded pH increases to above 4 as possible episodes of reflux. The procedure was used in 60 patients, divided into the following groups: (1) control group (ten patients); (2) duodenal ulcer (ten patients); (3) type 1 gastric ulcer (five patients); (4) type 3 gastric ulcer (five patients); (5) bilateral truncal vagotomy plus pyloroplasty (ten patients); (6) truncal vagotomy plus Billroth I partial gastrectomy (ten patients); and (7) truncal vagotomy plus Billroth II partial gastrectomy (ten patients). The amount of reflux (areas of pH greater than 4) in the type 1 gastric ulcer and Billroth I and Billroth II groups was significantly greater than that found in the control, duodenal ulcer, type 3 gastric ulcer and truncal vagotomy plus pyloroplasty groups. The mean concentration of total bile acids was also greater in the gastrectomized patients than in the rest of the groups studied. In the type 1 gastric ulcer group the mean bile acid concentration was similar to that of the control group.

Elliott Sadler's inability to drive Michael Waltrip Racing's No. 55 car for five races has opened the door for Brian Vickers to get an opportunity.
Vickers will pilot the entry in the six events as an addition to the car's schedule for Mark Martin and Waltrip.
Sadler was named as the team's choice to fill the seat last week but withdrew after team owner Richard Childress felt it necessary to have the driver concentrate on his full-time Nationwide Series effort for RCR.
Vickers has been without a ride since the Red Bull Racing team shut its doors at season's end. He'll have an opportunity to drive a car that Martin has gotten off to a good start with this season running competitively at both Daytona and Phoenix.
"I am thrilled to get back behind the wheel of not just a race car, but a very fast race car," said Vickers.
"I'm lucky to find a ride of this quality so early in the season. That Toyota won the pole last weekend in Phoenix and you saw it up front throughout the race. I know how good (crew chief) Rodney Childers and team are. I've known Rodney since I was eight years old. This car is tied for sixth in points right now. This is going to be fun. I appreciate the opportunity Michael and the entire MWR organization are giving me."
Vickers will begin his schedule next Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway and Waltrip is excited to get his new driver behind the wheel.
"Brian Vickers is a veteran driver with almost 10 years experience, but he hasn't even turned 30 yet," said Waltrip.
"He's shown he can win at this level and we have every confidence he'll run well with us. I believe in second chances and this is great opportunity for us and Brian. He wants to show the world how good he really is and we believe in the equipment and people we're putting him with in 2012."

Comments, questions and tips
Delicious! I've made this several times now.... a few lessons learned:
I always slice the aubergines and get them under the grill first, everything else cooks much faster for me. I also use spray oil because the aubergines absorb it like sponges if i brush it on.
The tomatoes are easily replaced by a can of chopped tomatoes (good quality if possible) and i've actually skipped the aubergines and served with couscous instead, it was still wonderful and full of flavour.

I believe the goal is simply to demonstrate that "the look" is indeed a copy of the iPhone.
Perhaps better than duck tape obscuring logos, just a simple digital image of both phones with any reference to brand, photoshopped out. Keep it simple...and a good image can hit it home.
Except that phones are not being sold without logos. Why not hide dedicated shutter button as well, for example, on phones that have it) to show that rest of the design is really looklike?
Jury should see them exactly the same way ordinary buyers see them.

All the Republicans agree with what Akin said, Helen.
They're just distressed that Akin had the bad taste to say it out loud.
Let me clarify. To many, rape has two categories: legitimate and non.
"Legitimate" is the classic "man in a mask breaks into a home and rapes a good, Christian housewife". Non would be "an independent woman dressed as a **** gets what she has coming to her".
GOP/Conservative legislation has pretty much been focused on this for years. Why else would Paul and Akin have worked so hard on legislation to define what kind of rape would be covered by Federal abortion monies?

|Safety and efficacy of a superior caliceal puncture in pediatric percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20677986 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Access through the superior calix for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) often breaches the diaphragm and is believed to have greater complications than access through other calices. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of a superior caliceal access in pediatric patients who were undergoing PCNL.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Operative and recovery data for pediatric patients (up to 16 years old) who were undergoing PCNL for renal calculi were prospectively entered into a database and reviewed. Patients with a superior calix puncture were compared with those in whom the superior calix was not punctured. Stone clearance was assessed by intraoperative fluoroscopy and postoperative radiography in all patients and ultrasonography and CT scan in selected cases.
RESULTS: Over a 2-year period, 26 pediatric patients (mean age 11.12 years; range 4-16 years) underwent 27 PCNLs. Stone bulk ranged from 200 to 1150 mm² (mean 656.03 mm²). Nine patients had staghorn stones. Thirteen patients (14 renal units) had primary superior calix access with 13 of these being supracostal (above the 12th rib). Four of these had staghorn calculus. All stones were fragmented using a pneumatic lithoclast. Second-look PCNL was necessary in two patients. Complete clearance was achieved in all except one patient in each group with superior and nonsuperior caliceal puncture. Hydrothorax developed in one patient with supracostal puncture necessitating tube drainage while abdominal collection developed in one in patient who underwent the nonsuperior calix approach. Both patients recovered with no sequelae.
CONCLUSIONS: The superior calix puncture is safe and effective in the pediatric population.

Bears Shock & Upset Eagles
Why is it when I go out on a limb and have faith in my Bears, stating for the record that I believe in them (2006 Super Bowl, 2010 Patriots, 2010 NFC Championship), they go out and lay an egg. Then when I'm skeptical and just can't believe they can do it, they pull of a heady win? Maybe everyone will hope that I publicly state my disbelief.
Yes, I had some faith in the fact that the Chicago Bears have for whatever reason matched up well against the Philadelphia Eagles since 2007, especially when Mike Vick is the quarterback. Yet for the last two weeks the "experts" just couldn't get off the fact that LeSean McCoy and the Eagles pass rush would be unstoppable. There was no way Matt Forte would prove himself to be the better running back than McCoy, they said. Unfortunately for me, I couldn't argue with them.
I'm really proud to be a Bear fan tonight. For as much as I get frustrated with Lovie Smith's defense at times, early on in this game I found myself amazed that Smith's defenders were always around the ball, proving that they were every bit the match for Vick, McCoy, DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Macklin. And they were.
And I've never been happier for a Bears offensive line than tonight. All we heard about was the formidable Eagles line of Cullen Jenkins, Jason Babin and Trent Cole. And I'll be damned-I didn't even say it out loud until late in the fourth quarter, but the Bears held perhaps the best line they've faced all year to zero sacks. This is exactly what we have been hearing would happen from Smith/Tice & company and it seems to be happening.
Mentally the Bears couldn't ask for a better situation going into (another) pivotal game for their playoff hopes against the Lions on the 13th. The only disadvantage I can see is the Bears playing off a short week while Detroit is rested coming out of their bye.
But I suddenly like our odds.
Bear down, Bears.

Clam Chowder
James Beard
Author and Educator
Creamy New England-style chowder was the first soup James Beard ever ate, and he referred to it as his "oldest love." It can be made with Pacific Coast razor clams, the more common East Coast littlenecks, or, in a pinch, with a can of minced clams.
Yield: 4 servings
Place clams in a saucepan with the wine or water. Cover and steam until they open. Pour off the liquid and strain it. Remove the clams from their shells and set aside. Be sure to discard any clams that do not open. If you prefer, you can use minced razor clams, fresh or canned. You will need about 1 1/2 cups of drained clams. Save the juice of course.
Sauté the salt pork or bacon in its own fat. Remove it when it is crisp and drain on paper towels. Lightly brown the onion in the remaining fat.
Cook the potatoes in boiling water to cover until just tender. Take them out and let the water cook down a bit. Combine the bacon, onion, potato, and potato water in a saucepan, and add the clam juice. Bring this to a boil and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Gradually add the cream and when it has just come to a boiling point, add the clams. Let them heat through, but do not boil. Sprinkle with the merest pinch of finely rubbed thyme.
Serve in heated cups with a dash of paprika and a little chopped parsley.

|Matrigel plug assay: evaluation of the angiogenic response by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23143707 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The subcutaneous Matrigel plug assay in mice is a method of choice for the in vivo evaluation of pro- and anti-angiogenic molecules. However, quantification of the angiogenic response in the plug remains a problematic task. Here we report a simple, rapid, unbiased and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) method to investigate the angiogenic process occurring in the Matrigel plug in response to fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2). To this purpose, a fixed amount of human cells were added to harvested plugs at the end of the in vivo experimentation as an external cell tracer. Then, mRNA levels of the pan-endothelial cell markers murine CD31 and vascular endothelial-cadherin were measured by species-specific RT-qPCR analysis of the total RNA and data were normalized for human GAPDH or β-actin mRNA levels. RT-qPCR was used also to measure the levels of expression in the plug of various angiogenesis/inflammation-related genes. The procedure allows the simultaneous, quantitative evaluation of the newly-formed endothelium and of non-endothelial/inflammatory components of the cellular infiltrate in the Matrigel implant, as well as the expression of genes involved in the modulation of the angiogenesis process. Also, the method consents the quantitative assessment of the effect of local or systemic administration of anti-angiogenic compounds on the neovascular response triggered by FGF2.

I like the fact that each run of the pendulum is plotted in a different color. However, would have preferred to have option of having the axis displayed horizontally. This would have helped me to see the change in T, period, easier.

The website was excellent in that it allowed students to manipulate many more variables than typically can be done in a lab setting. The material is accurate and results of data manipulation are easy to interpret. I used it after demonstrating a pendulum to the whole class and explaining what things they could vary. Students actually collected data in their lab notebooks and formulated conclusions supported by the data. Students liked the fact that they could vary the lengths, mass, and gravity. About half of them said that the computer activity would have been sufficient for them to learn the concepts. The other half indicated that they liked being able to set up their own pendulums and compare the results of those to what they found in the computer activity.Technical Remarks:The website was easy to access from Merlot but we had some problems when typing in the address. About half of the students got the "this page cannot be found" message.

I used the website as the basis for a Problem-based Learning model lesson. Students made predictions using a laboratory simulation. After recording their predictions, I introduced the website and had them work in groups to record data. The students compared their predictions using the laboratory simulation and the website. After the lesson, students completed a rubric to assess the lesson's effectiveness. The students rated one of the lesson's objectives, which was stated as "the simulation helped me meet the outcomes of the lesson," a "6״ on a scale of 1-6. STudents also commented that they would like to use this sort of activity more frequently to increase their understanding of science concepts.Students felt the website was user friendly, and two students reported that they will use this site again.Technical Remarks: The website was easy to use for first time users.

Can Tech Ruin the Kim Pham Murder Trial?
By Charles Lam
Photo by Rebecca SchoenkopfOur girlfriends had a fantabulous femme evening planned: chocolate souffl� and drinks at the chic Huntington Beach pan-Asian eatery Red Pearl and getting pawed by Italian men at Newport Beach's Dolce, the night culminating in a frothy frappe of slut-seeing at Dennis Rodman's playground, Josh Slocum's. And all of this on a Sunday night—the night that used to be reserved for sitting around in our pj's watching another incomprehensible X-Files. What could go wrong?
Well, everything, really—but it all went wrong in all the right ways.
For instance? Nothing much was going on at Red Pearl, but that just meant more room at the bar for us and our excellent dirty martinis (and the bartendrix is a stone fox; tip her well). Please tell me you people were home watching Tony Blairand the English Parliament—the government, not the electro-clash group—on C-SPAN. And at Dolce, no pawing was being perpetrated; though I would have been happy to sit by and watch my friends get mauled, I'm a one-man woman, and that man ain't got an Italian bone in his very tall body. In fact, though we had what seemed to be six different waiters, we could barely get crema for our caffee. (One busperson, whom my sister loved because he looked like a convict, actually threw our breadbasket on the table while looking off, bored, in the other direction. That's probably why she really liked him: oh, so hard a man/con/busboy to get!) Adding to the fun, an unattractive multimillionaire made sorrowful cow eyes at our sweet girl P, whom he had once tried to talk into being kept—while his date never took her eyes off him. Plus, you can smoke there!
The night went quickly downhill from there, with a swift zip up Coast Highway to Josh Slocum's. Rodman's Newport joint is a fabulous place—all glittery inside, with faux-Roman ruins and an interior night sky like the bayou in the Pirates of the Caribbean. If there just hadn't been any people there, it would have been marvelous. After paying a $5 cover (how embarrassing! Paying a cover to go to Josh Slocum's! God, I hate me!), we did a quick circuit through the jammed bar. Meatheads? Check. Annoying little Justin Timberlake boys? Check. Men lurking in packs at the bar waiting for any woman to start dancing so they can leer and slaver? Check and check. Yes, meat markets are just as I remembered them from last week—oh, with one exception: I have never been to a meat market peopled by women for hire.
After one quick perimeter check, we four retired to the smoking patio, where we could sink into the very comfy velvet couches. It was easier to eavesdrop there. A lovely, slim blonde sat down next to us to finish a 15-minute cell-phone call before rejoining her even prettier friends inside. Her call consisted of prattle about something that happened on Jay Leno and the amusing travails of her cohort Pookie. It climaxed with the urgent, "I looked around, and . . . what happened to Pooh Bear?"
Meanwhile, an ugly little curly-haired Timberlake (I will never understand the brillo-headed appeal) tried to cadge a cigarette off me while he was already smoking one. Did he see a Circle K on my forehead? I was not polite.
Inside, the friend of Pookie joined her colleagues at a table accessorized with a giant bottle of Grey Goose and a very ugly man. P thought one of the girls was a porn star—perhaps the one on the Blink-182cover—but none of us could vouch for it. We could vouch, though, for the Deal That Did Not Go Down. A drop-dead brunette was whispering with a not-attractive man. "Well it depends," she said aloud, and he whispered in her ear. "We can do that," she averred, before coyly proclaiming herself "just a working girl." Whisper, whisper. "Oh, no," quoth he, "that's way too much." "Well, where are you?" she asked. "I'm at one and a half," said the man. "Oh, no. That's not gonna get you anything," she pooh-poohed, and he stomped away, unsatisfied.
Dennis himself got up to sing with the young boy band—a hideous reggae thang. Though he was dressed down in a normal getup of T-shirt and pants (we left before finding out if he would strip down to nothing), he got the crowd up by singing about hos. He led the band in some fun off-the-cuff chants like, "Look at all the hos in the room! Hoooo!" (Callback from the band: "Look at all the hos in the room! Hoooo!") And, after inviting some lovelies to sing, he led rousing chants like, "She's got no voice, but she's got big tits!" (Band: "She's got no voice, but she's got big tits!") Indeed, all the breasts in the room were suspiciously round—like basketballs. Rodman must have felt right at home. It was, as our friend Q described it, "Gross Newport-Beach-yuck!"
There were precisely two non-pros in the room (besides us, I mean). Tora was a big, friendly girl who got up to dance with us (before the terrible band came back on, and we had to stop), and Lynn was a 46-year-old grandmother of four from Hesperia, married 30 years to her high school sweetheart, who with her husband had brought their employees out for a weekend of well-deserved seaside frolic. "Go cause trouble!" she exhorted us, beaming, and we promised we would. Instead, no longer interested in spying on the gross, Newport Beach yuck, we fled home.

As analysts dissect Apple's numbers, Sterne Agee's Shaw Wu sees one glaring shortfall: the iPad's margins.
Though Apple doesn't break those numbers out, Wu said he's convinced he misjudged the cost of the new tablet's display, which can produce super-sharp graphics — at a price.
"Even when they've missed revenue and units, they've had an uncanny ability to show margin upside," Wu said. This quarter, though, he said the cost of the new iPad's high resolution display likely ate into profits.
"Many of us, myself included, did not account for that properly," he said.
Apple shares are down 4.9% at $571.80 in after-hours trading. Through Tuesday's close, the stock was up 48% this year.
