Doctorate in Electrical Engineering
The Doctor of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering requires that students complete the doctoral core courses, the core courses for one concentration, as well as at least nine credit hours in a related discipline and 36 30 credit hours of dissertation. The Doctoral program is divided into three parts: Coursework, Dissertation and Examination.
Coursework consists of 51 post-baccalaureate course credits at the graduate level. Up to 36 graduate credit hours can be transferred but at least 21 additional graduate credits must be accrued at UDM. Coursework is divided into Doctoral Core, Concentration Core, and Discipline Specific. There are three Doctoral Core courses (or equivalent): ENGR 5020 Design of Experiments; ENGR 5200 Optimization; and ENGR 5300 Advanced Engineering Mathematics. For Concentration Core courses, each concentration has a number of associated courses, all of which must be taken to fulfill the requirements for the concentration. Discipline Specific courses are those related to Electrical and Computer Engineering and at least nine credits of Electrical and Computer Engineering courses must be taken outside the Concentration Core and Doctoral Core courses.
Dissertation credits consist of research credits under the guidance of a Doctoral Dissertation committee headed by a faculty member who acts as the supervisor. Although Doctoral research is independent, novel and advances the state of the art, the committee members can provide guidance, advice and technical expertise. A minimum 30 dissertation credits is required for the Doctor of Engineering degree.
Examinations comprise three stages: Qualifying, Dissertation Topic and Final. The Qualifying Examination is administered and interpreted by the college-level Doctoral Graduate Committee. The exam consists of three parts: Mathematics, Computer and Discipline Specific (in this case, Electrical and Computer Engineering topics relevant to the individual examinee). The Qualifying Exam must be taken as soon as the student has completed the Doctoral Core Courses. Students passing the Qualifying Exam are allowed to advance in the Doctoral program. Students can repeat the qualifying exam once. Students failing the Qualifying Exam for the second time are dismissed from the Doctoral program. The Dissertation Topic Examination consists of the formal presentation of the dissertation topic to the supervisory committee. The committee provides feedback to the student regarding scope, depth and relevancy of the topic. With approval of the committee, the student can proceed with the research and subsequent accrual of dissertation credits. Final Examination consists of the formal and public presentation of the dissertation results. The written dissertation must also be approved and accepted by the supervisory committee. The Final Examination, in concert with submission of the approved version of the written dissertation, constitutes the last step in completion of the Doctor of Engineering degree.

Moody Detective Wallander Returns To Masterpiece Mystery
Award-winning actor Kenneth Branagh returns as Inspector Kurt Wallander, the moody Swedish detective created by mystery writer Henning Mankell, who famously lit the spark for today's passionate interest in Scandinavian crime fiction.
Masterpiece Mystery! presents three new 90-minute whodunits on Wallander III, airing Sundays, this fall on tpt 2, starting Sunday, September 9 at 8 p.m.
USA Today hailed the last season as "an adult, modern MYSTERY! designed for those who want their murder stories to land somewhere between cozy and hopelessly dark."
The depressed detective himself might beg to differ. "I'm basically quite a cheerful person!" Wallander insists to a dubious colleague in the opening episode of the new season. But his inner sunny outlook is trapped in unremitting Nordic gloom.
Wallander III finds the Swedish cop trying to improve his disposition -- in the face of torture killings, dashed romance, homicidal do-gooders, and a resentful grown-up daughter.
Click here to check out a preview of Wallander III and below watch a scene from Wallander: An Event in Autumn before it premieres on Sunday, September 9 on tpt 2.

Detectives said Travis smelled like alcohol and was taken into custody.
Travis was booked into the Denton County Jail about 1:30 a.m. and he was released a few hours later.
Investigators said it is common for people arrested on a similar charge to be taken to jail for a few hours to sober up.
The charge is a class-C misdemeanor.

Endive, an annual or biennial herb related to chicory and dandelion. It was grown in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, and was introduced into the British Isles about 1548. It is cultivated throughout Europe and the United States for its rosette of leaves, used in salads. In cultivation, endive leaves are sometimes tied together in such a way that light cannot strike them. This causes the leaves to become blanched (turn white), removing the bitter taste of the green leaf. There are two main varieties: one with narrow, curled leaves; the other with broad, ragged leaves. The broad-leaved variety is also called escarole.
Endive is Cichorium endivia of the composite family, Compositae.Endive is a leafy vegetable related to chicory.

Program in Planning
Department of Geography
Faculty of Arts and Science, University of Toronto
100 St. George Street, Rm. 5047, Sidney Smith Hall
Toronto, Ontario M5S 3G3, Canada
The Graduate Planning Program at the University of Toronto invites applications from accomplished practitioners and scholars who wish to spend a period of professional leave on campus contributing to the teaching and research activities of the Program. Applications are sought for a period of residence during the academic year 2013/2014 (September 2013 to April 2014). Applicants should submit proposals prior to April 30, 2013.
The John Bousfield Distinguished Visitor in Planning was established through a major donation to and a matching grant by the University of Toronto. The Visitorship honours a distinguished Canadian urban planner and enables the Planning Program to bring to the University accomplished individuals who can teach, give public lectures and participate in collaborative research projects on issues important to the field of planning.
The Bousfield position is intended to offer the visitors an opportunity for research, writing and reflection, while also enhancing the learning experience of students in the Program in Planning, providing diverse and innovative perspectives on contemporary planning issues and enhancing the relations between the Planning Program and the community at large.
Located in one of the most diverse cities in North America, the Planning Program offers its students a dynamic, interdisciplinary blend of practical knowledge and critically engaged theory. Information on the Program in Planning can be obtained from its website (http://www.geog.utoronto.ca/programs/planning).
The Planning Program invites applications from practitioners and scholars of all backgrounds who have substantial planning experience in public, private, non-profit or community organizations, in local, national or international venues. The program especially encourages applications from those whose experiences and viewpoints are underrepresented within planning.
Visitors are expected to contribute to the Planning Program through teaching, research, and collaboration. They will also be invited to give one or more public lectures to share their expertise with students, faculty and the community at large. In past years we have had senior practitioners teaching graduate level courses, theorists engage in seminars, and community based scholars and activists teach workshops.
The period of residency and the amount of funds are flexible to accommodate the varied needs of applicants. The length of stay must be concentrated enough to enable visitors to become involved in teaching and to provide meaningful opportunities to interact with faculty, students and the local community. For those residing within the Greater Toronto Area one or two days a week in the Planning Program might be combined with on-going responsibilities to a place of employment.
The Planning Program can support the visitorship with a stipend of up to CDN $35,000 (although typical awards are smaller), depending on the duration and intensity of the period in residence at the University. Additional financial support may be made available to offset some of the costs associated with travel, accommodation and conducting research. In 2012/2013, the Program in Planning will be able to invite one or two John Bousfield Distinguished Visitors, and other applicants may be invited to participate in the John Bousfield Special Lecture Series, subject to the availability of funds.
Applications consisting of a curriculum vitae and a two-page plan of the individual's proposed activities (including a requested stipend) should be sent by email attachment to Professor Richard DiFrancesco, Acting Chair, Department of Geography and Program in Planning (email@example.com) by 30 April, 2013 for academic year 2013/2014 residencies. Please direct inquiries to Professor Paul Hess, Associate Chair and Director, Graduate Programs in Planning, (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Religious Congregations of the Presentation
(1) Daughters of the Presentation; (2) Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin; (3) Sisters of the Presentation of Mary; (4) Sisters of the Presentation of Our Lady
Presentation, RELIGIOUS CONGREGATIONS OF THE.—(I) Daughters of the Presentation, founded in 1627 by Nicolas Sanguin (b. 1580; d. 1653), Bishop of Senlis, a prelate who was atoning by a life of sanctity for the errors of an ill-spent youth. Having given himself unstintingly to the service of the plaguestricken during a pest which devastated Senlis during the early years of his episcopate, he turned his attention to the foundation of a teaching order to combat the prevailing ignorance and the resulting vice in the diocese. Two young women from Paris, Catherine Dreux and Marie de la Croix, began the work of teaching in 1626 and the following year were formed into a religious community, which shortly afterwards was enclosed under the Rule of St. Augustine. The opposition of the municipal authorities gave way before the Bull of erection granted by Urban VIII (January 4, 1628) and letters patent of Louis XIII granted in 1630, the year in which the first solemn profession was held. In 1632 papal permission was obtained for two of Bishop Sanguin's sisters and a companion to leave for a time their monastery of Moncel of the Order of St. Clare, to form the new community in the religious life. Seven years later they were received as members into the new order, over which they presided for more than thirty years. The congregation did not survive the Revolution, although under Bonaparte one of the former members organized at Senlis a school which was later taken over by the municipality. The habit was black serge over a robe of white serge, with a white guimpe, a black bandeau, and veil. The original constitutions seem to have been altered by Msgr. Sanguin's nephew and successor in the See of Senlis, owing to the frequent reference made in them to the devotion of the Slavery of Our Lady, which was suppressed by the Church.
(2) Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin, founded in 1684 by Ven. Marie Poussepin at Sainville in the Diocese of Chartres, for teaching and the care of the sick. At the time of the religious disturbances in France, over seventeen hundred sisters were engaged in France, Spain, South America, and Asiatic Turkey, where they have charge of a number of schools and protectories for girls. At Agua de Dios in Colombia they care for a colony of lepers. In 1813 the motherhouse was established at Saint-Symphorien near Tours.
(3) Sisters of the Presentation of Mary, also called White Ladies, founded in 1796 at Montpezat by Ven. Marie Rivier (d. 1838), assisted by the Abbe Pontannier, for the instruction of poor girls. The first novitiate was opened at Thueys, near Aubenas, but the motherhouse was permanently established at Bourg-Saint-Andeol in the Diocese of Viviers. The congregation soon spread over France and in 1853 a house was established in Canada. At the time of the dispersion of the religious orders in France the congregation numbered two thousand members in charge of schools and orphan asylums. The Polish motherhouse is at Cracow.
(4) Sisters of the Presentation of Our Lady, founded at Ghent in 1805 by Miss Weewauters, in religion Mother Mary Augustine, and Canon de Decker (d. 1874) for the education of girls. The motherhouse is at Saint-Nicolas, on which are dependent a number of filial houses, with about two hundred members.

Through the Agency's investigation, it was determined that the wastewater system serving the Laporte's rental unit failed. In an attempt to fix the failure, they excavated and removed the main trunk line of the existing leachfield and installed an extended leachfield pipe. They did not apply for or receive a permit prior to this new construction. In response to Agency directives, the Laportes subsequently applied for and received a Wastewater Permit in December 2011, authorizing construction of a new wastewater disposal system. Construction of the system was completed as of July 2012.
After the investigation was completed the Laportes were notified of the violation and agreed to settle the matter. The settlement was reduced to an Assurance of Discontinuance, and adopted as an order by the Environmental Court. In it, the Laportes agreed to pay a $6,750.00 penalty.

Ahead of International Automobile Exhibition (IAA) in Frankfurt, Germany, next month, premium auto maker Bentley previewed the Continental GTC. Almost exact in specifications with its GT coupe counterpart, this 2nd generation Continental GTC convertible (or as European calls it "cabriolet") is the example of uncompromising luxury. Behind the aggressive stance sits a 6.0-liter, turbocharged W12 engine, capable of churning out a total of 567-horsepower. With an advanced all-wheel drive system, there is more than enough ponies to propel this beast from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. In order to lower its carbon footprint, somewhat, the massive engine's FlexFuel option allows E85 biofuel, regular gasoline, or both.
But you just don't buy a Bentley for speed alone, you have a Bentley for speed and comfort. The new Continental GTC is the perfect complement for both. The 2 seater comfortably sits 4 in a newly refined cabin. Tailored to each owner's wishes, there are 17 leather hide color ways as well as 6 color combinations and 7 matching wood veneers to select from. But if you wish any other color, wood or combination, Bentley will be happy to oblige. While it is a soft top convertible, Bentley added a multi-layered of fabric to the hood, laminated with insulation panels and acoustic glass, all to minimize road noise. The is even a neck warmer embedded to the seats for an open air ride in cooler climate.
The Bentley Continental GTC is set to be available later this year with a base price of $212,800 US.

The Do's and Don'ts of Running Social Media Promotions
A guide to getting quality fans and followers- April 2, 2012
Social media promotions (contests, giveaways, sweepstakes, and the like) are one of the easiest ways to grow your networks. The ultimate goal? Higher engagement levels, return on investment, conversion rates, and responses to calls to action.
Yet, sometimes, behind that seemingly large network is an audience of uninterested consumers (cue cricket chorus) who were merely attracted by the incentive or freebie. The challenge for brands is to craft a promotion that will attract the right audience in the first place, or make sure those who only wanted the discount or chance at winning a prize still have a place in informing overall future marketing strategy. Here's how to make that happen:...

Race announcer plays along when deer get onto track
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 12/02/2012 @ 12:46 am In Diversions | No Comments
(KDKA-TV) It was no ordinary race at the racetrack at the Meadows in Washington County.
Instead of horses, three deer got onto the course Wednesday night, and the race announcer didn't miss a beat.
The horses were ready and the race just about to begin when three deer beat them to it, jumping onto the racetrack.
"They're on the track now, and they're on your screen, too. They're on the racetrack!"

For more than 10 years, I've been running regularly with a dear friend (K) whose beautiful son has autism. We've logged thousands of miles together -- laughing, swearing and crying our eyes out as our kids have moved toward adulthood. It has been both heartbreaking and inspiring to watch K's son grow up in a world where being different is so very hard. Finding a school where he could thrive was especially challenging.
Next weekend, on Sunday May 19, K and I are running the Colfax half marathon in Denver to help support a scholarship fund for a unique nonprofit school that serves children on the autism spectrum. K and her husband have had the financial resources to get help for their son, but many other families do not. We're running for them. Neither of us is a big fundraiser, but we hope to collect a little money for the Temple Grandin School scholarship fund ... and in so doing, help a struggling child or two find a path to the future. Will you join us?
Click here to find my donation page or cut and paste the url into your browser. Thanks so much for your support! If you have questions, feel free to send me a private message or find me in Loopville.
A great cause and one near and dear to Mrs. TO and I, Thank you for your efforts!!
It's pretty near and dear to us. Our DD does not have autism, but we interact within our community that have children who do. It's a tough situation on a parent. But one that will always bring strength. Good luck with the half!
Most limitations are self made.
Awesome cause to run for.
Best of luck to you both.
Rock on and keep on running.
Rock on and keep on running.....
Best of luck next weekend!!!

Be proud - make an effort to help save lives
The American Red Cross Bloodmobile will be in Adrian Tuesday, November 8 from 1:00-6:00 p.m. at the Adrian Optimist Building. You only have to be feeling well that day, be at least 17 years of age, weigh 110 lbs. and have a good iron count. Most deferred donors are due to low iron count. To help increase your iron count, eat meats, fruits and vegetables, whole grain breads and molasses.
You can be a regular donor by making some good choices as you go about every day. Giving blood is easy and simple and you will be proud of yourself for making an effort to help save the life of three people whom you may know. However, they are always very thankful to have received your blood and that gave them more time. Take an hour out of your busy day, bring a donor card or some type of ID and make a visit to the Optimist Building on Tuesday, November 8 from 1:00-6:00 p.m. I will be there -- will you?

Spray-on Skin Coming to a Drugstore Near You
When it comes to regneration, the salamander is nature's gold standard. Scientists have studied the animals for years trying to figure out how they regrow tails, legs, and even eyes, but despite a few baby steps, they've made little progress. Now a new raft of technologies promises to catapult human healing power… »

EMErgence: Electronic Music Experience
Connecting Local Youth with Music & Technology
Started by LEAF Community Arts in 2013, EMErgence connects youth with music through technology by hiring local and national teaching artists to provide workshops and installations in the community. These teaching artists educate young, aspiring artists about the evolution of technology and to help them create and produce music. EMErgence would not be possible without the support of the Dan Lucas Memorial Funds and the Ben Gradison Memorial Funds!
By celebrating the accessibility of music that technology provides, this project seeks to provide a meaningful and engaging experience for youth in our local under-served community. EMErgence will feature master musicians, sound technicians and music producers both locally and nationally known and encourage emerging their artistry and with young local aspiring artists from the Asheville community.
Connect local and national musicians with young aspiring musicians and provide them the time and space to create work inspiring them to use technology as a means of creative expression through a multiple day experience to deepen their understanding of using technology to create music.
EMErgence 2014 contains three separate programs, in schools, in communities and for the public. This new model allows Emergence the opportunity to have a greater more full circle reach to community members in the city of Asheville. The programming will then meet and conjoin for a collective day of Mixing at Echo Mountain Recording Studio in Downtown Asheville.
About EMErgence
EMErgence: in Schools
EMErgence: in Schools
EMErgence partnered with Asheville High School to provide a Visiting Teaching Artist residency with Ableton certified instructor Ben Hovey, HoveyKraft. Ben worked with the advanced Digital Media class during the day and provided an after school session entitled, "Introduction to Ableton". Ben reinvented what is possible in live performances by synergizing the musician and DJ archetypes.
As HoveyKraft he played the trumpet with his right hand, harmonized on keys with his left, made live loops with his feet, all while seamlessly remixing and manipulating samples with these live performances.
EMErgence: in Communities
EMErgence: in Communities
This segment of the program offers workshops for teens and young emerging musicians from the communities such as Hillcrest, Pisgah View and Livingston to participate in beat making, audio production and field recording. Small groups of youth worked together to go through the process of creating, recording and mixing their own song. These activities occurred at the Burton Street 1 Mic Studio, created through LEAF Schools & Streets funding from the Ben Gradison Memorial Fund in conjunction with Asheville Parks & Recreation and GO.
Activities include: Junkyard Beats!
Students made their own beats using items from the world around them! Students learned that their imagination is an instrument in itself!
EMErgence: for the Public
EMErgence: for the Public
Vision: Provide a public platform for local and national talent to demonstrate the broad spectrum of creative expression using the technological advancements of today through an industry rooted and educational event series.
Description: Artists conducted free panel discussions open to all ages of the public in downtown Asheville. Each seminar were based on topics chosen by the artist(s) with input from the EME organizers. The purpose of these seminars was to provide an opportunity for the general public to engage in the EMErgence experience, by providing a time and space for people to participate in free workshops. In conjunction with the workshops, there was an open floor discussion prompted by questions about the local music industry and community development.
Topics: Music in Education, Creative expression through technology – Individualism, Cultural connections through music spreading music across the globe, Progression through synthesis of live and electronic music, Journal of sound: how to embed personality into production / art, Pioneering an original sound, Genrefication and how it affects your brand and you as an artist, Live performance strategies, Creative workflow & Electronic music: What is it and where is it going?

Britt also inspired workshop leaders and students through a special master class.

Dell releases color-accurate 2209WA display
updated 10:55 am EST, Thu January 22, 2009
Dell UltraSharp 2209WA
Dell has quickly lived up to leaks on Thursday by formally releasing the UltraSharp 2209WA. The display is one of the few 22-inch LCDs to be truly color-accurate. While not providing specs, Dell points to a technology known as TrueColor that it says delivers better and more uniform color. The 2209WA's 178-degree viewing angle also reveals the use of a higher-quality LCD panel than the TN (twisted nematic) panels that often result in poor 6-bit color along with 160-degree angles.
The production display has the same 1,000:1 static contrast ratio, 300cd/m2 brightness and 1680x1050 resolution promised in the early leak. Dell also notes that the display pivots and comes with both DVI and VGA jacks as well as a 4-port USB hub. Orders made today ship almost immediately for the new UltraSharp, which costs $299.

Knoxville Girls Track Prepare for Conference Meet
Posted By Sports On May 7, 2010 @ 6:00 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
While the boys track squad from Knoxville was busy running and throwing last night in Centerville, the girls have been busy preparing for the Little Hawkeye Conference meet on Monday during practice. With only three meets left on the season Coach Jeremy Van Engen knows the last three are very important. Amy Turner has shown well in the last few week's getting a third place at Chariton last week and a fourth in a strong field at Pella on Tuesday night. Van Engen says the goal is not necessarily to win any team titles but have as many individual championships and state qualifiers as possible.

There is a problem that bothers me more than the arguments being made for or against same-sex unions - and it is the government redefining the bedrock of society.
If marriage is being redefined by our lawmakers to now include the covenant of two people of the same sex, then what will stop them by eventually redefining it to include three or four people as marriage? Or make marriage a renewable contract on a yearly basis? Once we remove these standards, then who are the people who make the new ones?
The Bible was our compass and standard bearer. Once we remove God and his standards of behavior, we then take it upon ourselves to redefine the order of conduct we will live by. In other words, who will replace God in setting society's order for our future? Just things we need to think about!

Stocks rebounded as investors engaged in a bit of Black Friday bargain hunting and looked for signs of how well retailers might fare during the holiday shopping season.
Friday's shortened session -- the market closes three hours early at 1 p.m. EST -- will cap a volatile Thanksgiving week. On Wednesday, the Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poor's 500 index each fell more than 1.5 percent, with the Dow giving up more than 200 points.

Movin' On on 03/22/13
The San Francisco Bay area is well known as the center for the renaissance of popular rock & roll. It was also the west coast heart of traditional and acoustic music. The Good Ol' Persons, Kathy Kallick, Laurie Lewis, Jody Stecher and Kate Brislin are just some of the luminaries who made the bay area a vibrant music scene. On Friday, March 22nd, 12 noon to 3 pm, I will be presenting a program devoted to the great acoustic SF Bay musicians who are at the heart of the traditional music revival. I will have CDs by Kathy Kallic's new band and Eric & Suzy Thompson as thank you gifts for your essential support of KBOO, community radio.

Around this time every year, as I finish preserving tomatoes and ponder the results with equal parts satisfaction, gratefulness, and relief (it's hot work, people, hot!), I become sort of possessive and protective of my tomato larder. All that work, and I don't want to use any of it. I want to hoard it, save it for when the snow flies and I really, really need an injection of summer memories. So between now and then, I look for tomato sauce alternatives to serve over pasta or gnocchi, … [Read more...]
Easy butternut squash sauce
Smoky sweet potato and apple soup
Even though I do have to admit that I'm not ready to let go of summer veggies and those fresh, raw dishes that shine with things plucked straight from the garden, I am ready for soup. Cold soups are delicious and refreshing, but they're just not the same as a big bowl of steaming hot goodness. So, our newly chilly weather has me back in the kitchen, brewing up old favorites and experimenting with new combinations. This makes me ear-to-ear-smilin' happy, because one could say I'm rather fond … [Read more...]
The Perfect Fried Egg – Chef vs. Tradition
A slideshow on the New York Times website recently caught my eye. Entitled "The Perfectly Fried Egg," it shows a step-by-step of Spanish chef, José Andrés, frying an egg in a pool of oil. Like french fries. Or doughnuts. Equally repulsed — an oil-immersed egg? "Perfect?" Seriously? — and intrigued, I had to try it for myself. And compare it to my family's long-standing tradition of frying an egg flat in a cast iron pan. … [Read more...]
Farewell, Summer – it's been grand
It's September 19th, and I don't think I can procrastinate any longer. Despite mustering up my very deepest reserves of denial and avoidance, the inevitable has caught up with me: Summer ends on Saturday. So this, the last full week of summer, finds me a bit brooding and energy-drained. It's suddenly still dark at 6:30am, my normal waking time, and I stumble around the house getting ready for the day, stubbing toes, stubbornly refusing to turn on a light. Just yesterday, it seems, the … [Read more...]

Caprese dagwood sandwiches
It's mid-September, and this week finds me starting my annual tomato panic. The chill in the evening air signals an all-too-soon forthcoming end to my summer garden and the non-stop supply of fresh tomatoes. {Sigh} In between making and preserving tomato sauce and tomato paste (my late-summer crush) — and this weekend, sweet and spicy tomato jam — I've been adding sliced tomatoes to everything and have consumed more caprese salads then anyone should sensibly claim. But even … [Read more...]
Salted caramel custard mini pies
I'm slowly making the mental transition into fall. Truth be told, I'm not entirely certain I ever fully transitioned into summer from spring, although I quickly got to used the long days of sunlight — bright at 6:00am and still hanging on at 9:00pm. My sense of seasonality is guided more by my gardens than the calendar. Although many of my summer crops are still happily putting out fruit (tomatoes!), the fall crops are taking hold, and I'm beginning the annual late summer clean-up, … [Read more...]
Crunchy Corn Slaw
Ever since discovering the amazingness of raw corn last year, it's the only way I'll eat it off the cob (I still love da smoky grilled corn-on-the-cob with lots of cilantro butter brushed on, and brushed on often). Honestly, the concept of eating corn raw was a [forehead slap] moment: Of course I would enjoy corn raw, sliced fresh from the cob — it's super-sweet, juicy, and crunchy. In fact, when the corn at the farmers' market passes its prime, as it does in September, I find the … [Read more...]
Fried Egg Pupusas
I bought a tortilla press earlier this summer on impulse. It's one of those single-purpose tools that has the very real potential to be used once, and then left, forgotten, in the back of the cabinet.

I've done that more than once.) But not this summer. Much like the discovery of homemade pita bread (which … [Read more...]

Drought Levels Not Improving over Winter
Posted By News On March 4, 2013 @ 6:23 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Despite winter storms that covered the state in snow, soil moisture levels have not improved. The USDA Drought monitor shows no improvement to drought conditions over the last month, and conditions look almost identical to where they were 3 months ago. State Climatologist Harry Hillaker explains that frozen soil in the winter doesn't take in moisture, and generally melted snow has runoff into waterways before the soil unfreezes.

Tony Romo paired with Jordan Spieth at Azalea Invitational
For the third straight year, Tony Romo will play in the Azalea Invitational at the Country Club of Charleston (S.C.).
The tournament starts Thursday and Romo will be paired in the first two rounds with a friendly face from Dallas, who just so happens to be one of the top amateurs in the country in Jordan Spieth.
A junior at Jesuit Prep, Spieth is the reigning U.S. Junior Amateur champion and was given a sponsor's exemption to play in the HP Byron Nelson Championship in May. How good is Spieth? Some other amateur golfers granted exemptions include Tiger Woods (1993), Justin Leonard ('93) and Trip Kuehne ('95).
Romo has finished 34th and 36th in his first two forays into the Azalea. Word has it that Romo's game is in pretty good shape entering this tournament.
By the way, shouldn't the Nelson consider granting Romo an exemption?
He has attempted to qualify for the tournament the last few years, coming close a couple of times. This year's tournament runs May 20-23, which is normally right around some organized team activities. The Cowboys have not released a schedule of off-season events yet.
I understand some golf purists might not like the thought of Romo taking a pro's spot in the field, but in terms of generating interest Romo would be a huge boost for the event.
OK, let those who hate Romo doing anything but studying, lifting and throwing every waking moment of the off-season have at it.

The First Lady Michelle Obama is showing us that she backs up what she talks about being active.
Rap legend Doug E. Fresh, former American Idol/actress Jordin Sparks and Dr. Oz lent their voices to the new song and video called "Everybody". The song is for First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move!" campaign to fight childhood obesity.

It's being reported that he is now being sued by the company who says they had to take a loss on the vehicle to sell. So far. JD has issued no comment to confirm or deny the story.
There is a possibility that we may have to consider a new person in the Presidential Seat. With Current President Barack Obama being a heavily devoted family man, if he had to make a decision over running the country and running his family. I think the family choice will win hands down.

Ecological effect mechanisms of toxicants
Toxicants affect biota not only directly but also through ecological changes in their environment. We identify relevant processes and develop models for the assessment of toxicant effects in aquatic ecosystems.
Abiotic stress, competition and predation influence the impact of toxicants at all levels of biological organization.
- As additional stressors, they make organisms more vulnerable than expected from standard test systems [1].
- Within a population, they can prolongate the recovery time after a contamination event [2].
- The reduction of a species being sensitive to toxicants will affect the overall community structure [3]. Thus, also insensitive species can be affected via the foodweb [4].
We characterize relevant eclogical mechanisms in aquatic ecosystems, focusing on macroinvertebrate communities. The results from individual tests, higher tier experiments (incl. our self-developed test system "Nanocosm") and field studies are combined to provide mechanism based models and references for a realistic risk assessment.

TEHRAN, Iran – Supporters of the main election challenger to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad clashed with police and set up barricades of burning tires Saturday as authorities declared the hard-line president was re-elected in a landslide. Opponents responded with the most serious unrest in the capital in a decade and charges that the result was the work of a "dictatorship."
Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, closed the door on any chance he could use his limitless powers to intervene in the disputes from Friday's election. In a message on state TV, he urged the nation to unite behind Ahmadinejad, calling the result a "divine assessment."

Three Rochester residents were displaced after an accidental fire damaged their home Friday night at 17 Gerling Place.
Robert Fullen, his parents and a friend were in the house when the fire started. Fullen said he believed the fire was related to a faulty electrical issue in his second-floor bedroom, where the fire began.
"I just lost so much stuff," he said. "It's tragic. I don't even know what to say." ...
