Student scholars
The law school's three full-tuition scholarship recipients this year are focused on issues ranging from immigrant rights to environmental justice. Two full-tuition Scholars for Justice Awards are given each year to admitted students who demonstrate a commitment to a career in public interest law, both before and after law school. The Adolf A. Berle Scholarship is given to a student who has a keen intellectual interest in understanding the nature of modern society, particularly the nature of the modern corporation and its intersection with law and society.
This year's scholars:
Jordann Hallstrom
Adolf A. Berle Scholar
Jordann Hallstrom has a strong background in business, as well as a commitment to justice. A Seattle native, she earned a degree in finance and emphases in Spanish studies and international business from Santa Clara University. After graduation, she worked as a business analyst at Cisco Systems in the Bay Area.
At Santa Clara, she received the Financial Executives International Scholarship, a merit scholarship awarded to only three finance students per year, and co-authored the article "Dancing with the Enemy: Can China be a Viable Alternative for U.S. Investors?" in The Journal of International Business and Cultural Studies. A highlight during her time at Santa Clara was a business-related immersion trip to El Salvador, where she learned first-hand the impact business and microfinancing initiatives can have on helping shape society.
Hallstrom also has an interest in criminal law and public service. While she was in college, she interned with the Office of the Public Defender in Santa Clara County and the Northern California Innocence Project, which cemented her decision to pursue a J.D. She also volunteered at an elementary school for predominately Spanish speaking students and at a community center working with homeless adults.
As the Berle Scholar, Hallstrom will be involved with the work of the Adolf A. Berle, Jr. Center on Corporations, Law and Society. She said the global economic crisis demands that corporations analyze and re-evaluate their business practices.
"Complying with the increasing regulations together with sensitivity to their impact on individuals and society presents a challenge for many corporations, one that I find especially intriguing," she said. "I am grateful to the Berle Center for the scholarship and excited for the opportunity to participate in their symposiums and collaborate with others to help me better understand how the legal system, and working in the public sector, can support this evolution."
Marisa Ordonia
Scholar for Justice
Marisa Ordonia came to the law school with a broad background in community organizing and environmental justice issues. She graduated from Seattle University in 2005 with a B.A. in Spanish, planning to return for a master's degree in teaching after taking a year off. That summer she worked with a local environmental non-profit, which changed her direction toward several years in the environmental field. Ordonia eventually went on to earn a B.S. in environmental studies at The Evergreen State College.
Ordonia organized and led restoration work parties, largely in natural areas adjacent to low-income communities and communities of color. She has also volunteered for several other projects, mostly in the Seattle area. Recently she spent time in Arizona volunteering with No More Deaths, a humanitarian aid organization that works along the U.S.-Mexico border, and she facilitated a workshop on community organizing for Seattle's first Asian Pacific Islander Freedom School, a community-led project she has helped develop. In the past, she volunteered with the Queer People of Color Liberation Project, the Bikery, and as a mentor through Passages Northwest's Girls Rock Program.
The first person in her immediate family to graduate college, Ordonia is grateful for the scholarship that will enable her to pursue her social justice goals. She applied to law school with the idea that she wanted to start a non-profit that not only provides legal services, but also provides community members with the tools to advocate for themselves.
"A friend of mine reminded me that though there may be a shortage of legal jobs right now, there is certainly no shortage of work to be done," she said. "Whatever I end up doing, I want to help work toward community empowerment."
Hannah Zommick
Scholar for Justice
Hannah Zommick has worked to motivate people to pursue justice and has now plans to use the law to further the causes important to her. She earned degrees in political science and Spanish from the University of Washington and was drawn to Seattle University School of Law's commitment to social justice.
As an undergraduate, she established a student organization dedicated to advocacy and public service to provide support, resources and life-changing experiences to motivate students towards a lifelong pursuit of justice.
After graduation, she worked as the planning and community affairs coordinator for the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, which provides support for human and social service agencies in the community. She worked on lobbying efforts to increase protection for homeless men and women in Washington State, to maintain financial safety nets for families on welfare, and to safeguard refugee and immigrant services.
"I chose to attend law school so that I could use my legal education to advocate for the vulnerable segments of society and those whose civil liberties have been violated," Zommick said. "I am passionate about equal rights and equal protection under the law, as well as international human rights. I am very grateful for this scholarship and excited to take advantage of all the social justice opportunities the law school offers."

A driver had to be airlifted to Vidant Medical Center following a serious accident in Martin County, Saturday night.
Trooper Stone with the Highway Patrol says around 8:27 p.m. a man was driving a GMC Yukon on NC Highway 11 between NC-142 and Council Road when he went left of center, off the road and collided with a tree. The trooper says the vehicle would hit several more trees before coming to rest back on Highway 11.
We're told the driver was pinned in the vehicle for quite some time before EMS was alerted. His condition after being airlifted to Vidant is unknown at this time.
Trooper Stone says that the accident would cause another accident, when a driver hit debris from the Yukon, including a tire rim and axel. That driver would be taken to Martin General Hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
The names of the victims were not available at this time.
The accident shut down Highway 11 in both directions for around 2 hours Saturday night.
Previous Story:
A vehicle accident closed Highway 11 in Martin County earlier Saturday evening. It's now back open.
Martin County dispatch says they provided dispatch for a wreck that happened in front of 13026 NC Highway 11. An alert sent out by the NC Department of Transportation says that an accident had closed NC 11 in both directions near NC Highway 142. The alert says that the accident closed the road just before 10 p.m.
Dispatch says that there are injuries.
WITN has a call into Highway Patrol for more details.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Concerned parents are urging Congress to take steps to limit the ability of state school systems to have special education students physically restrained while in class.
The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions convened a hearing Thursday that was meant to raise awareness of how much physical force is used when disciplining students. The committee is considering a bill that calls for restraining or secluding students only if they might physically injure other students.
One mother, Deborah Jackson of Easton, Pa., told lawmakers that her 9-year-old son, Elijah, was repeatedly restrained or locked down in "seclusion" rooms, and sometimes came home with bruises. She said her son suffers from behavioral disorders that make him aggressive, and he needs to be handled more carefully.

I didnt want to have to bring this up for a couple months, but listening to the KU/Texas basketball game, I heard the song we should have as our new intro music. The song is ok, but the video that goes with it is hilarious.
Sorry for putting everyone through this, i know how hard it is on everybody. Ok maybe not entrance music, but I'd rather see some dumb **** dance to this on the smile cam than what they play now.

Never a bad time for an intro music thread.
I like your idea but I think this song will only work if we wear white helmets.

That's what I was going to suggest. Way to beat me to it....
I think this could be a sweet song for our thursday night game...with some great editing.

Intro song won't change...would bet on that. The video may change that they show while playing the song, but the song will remain.
The only problem now is that we copied Nebraska.
Although in their stadium when that song comes on the place goes absolutely bananas
If we go with Sweet Caroline, no one can say that we copied anybody else. Purely original!
The team should come in to one song and one song only..."Lady Humps" by the Blackeyed Peas. "What you gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk? I'm a get you, get you drunk, get you drunk off my lady humps, my humps, my humps, my lovely lady humps."
Next question.
Yeah our intro really sucks now. No originality.

No kidding....Why would any one else want to claim that pathetic song??
See my sig... Would be sweet to have a build up video to go along with it before they hit the field.

This project will restore degraded wetlands and adjacent wildlife habitat by planting 212,000 native hardwood trees on 75% of the area and native grasses on the rest. The land, in an alluvial floodplain along 2 miles of the Red River, in Texas, was previously drained and farmed. This private agricultural land is being restored in partnership with the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the owner. NRCS, through its Wetlands Reserve Program, will have a 30-year conservation easement on the property. The owner (and agencies involved) report that it is expected to remain as forested wetlands well after the easement expires. Numerous migratory and wetland birds will benefit, including the federally threatened and endangered Bald Eagle and Interior Least Tern. Additional threatened and endangered species of Texas that will benefit include the Canebrake Rattlesnake, Alligator Snapping Turtle and Wood Stork. This project will also serve as a model for future restoration projects on private land and will create flood storage, sediment control and will improve water quality. Additional funding for this project was provided by NRSC, Ducks Unlimited, Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept., USFWS, EPA, East Texas Wetlands Project and the private landowner.
This project was supported by our corporate partner, the Alcoa Foundation.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - A former Maine teacher of the year may soon find herself out of a job.
Gloria Noyes was teaching fifth-grade at Westbrook's Congin Elementary School in 2009 when she was named the state's top educator.
Noyes, who left Westbrook last fall to take a job as assistant principal of the Fred P. Hall Elementary School in Portland, is on the list of as many as 49 teachers and administrators who will be laid off at the end of the school year.
The Portland School Board will hold a first reading of proposed staff cuts Tuesday night before taking a final vote on May 28.
The 42-year-old Noyes, married with two children, tells The Portland Press Herald she's frightened. She has already started looking for a new job.

It's an all too familiar story for stateline area workers, companies downsizing, laying off or moving out of the area.
This leaves hundreds of skilled workers out on the unemployment line searching for work, but money from the state is coming.
Gov. Blagojevich announced that $170,000 is coming to the stateline area. It's part of his Opportunity Returns plan to help workers acquire new skills.
The money goes towards two workforce investment boards that are partnering together to help get workers back on the job with new skills.

Elizabeth Olsen stars as a girl trying to find a life after leaving an abusive cult.
Expectations going in:
I had seen the trailer for the movie, but the main draw for me was all of the Oscar buzz I have been hearing about this movie.
My take:
I was mesmerized by this movie. I will say this movie is not for everyone as it is not a crowd pleaser, but this movie is different. It was something I had not seen before, and it left me wanting more. I had so many questions as I walked out. It haunted me.
The movie kind of reminded me of last year's Winter's Bone…possibly because actor John Hawkes stars in both? Like Winter's Bone, it depicted a slice of life about a community I don't know a lot about.
Some Advice:
See this movie with a friend…you will want to talk about it with someone when it ends. I am DYING for a friend to see it so we can discuss.
Look out for
Elizabeth Olsen – The rising star of the indie world is also the younger sister of the famous Olsen twins Mary-Kate and Ashley.
Sarah Paulson – This actress starred in two of my failed tv shows – Studio 60 and Jack & Jill.
You will like it if:
You want to see a movie that will make you think
You want a look into the life of a cult
You are like me and want to see anything with Oscar buzz!
Would I go with my mom:
Yes. There are definitely some uncomfortable adult scenes, but my mom and I see everything that has Oscar buzz.
Good date movie?
Not a good first date movie.
Will I buy it?
Saw it once…never need to see it again.

The Five Kage Summit (五影会談, Gokage Kaidan, Literally meaning: Five Shadow Summit) was a meeting between the five Kage of the ninja world to discuss recent developments concerning Akatsuki and the tailed beasts.
Since its formation, Akatsuki had been working on capturing the nine tailed beasts or their jinchūriki. At the start of Part II, Akatsuki had captured two tailed beasts; the Five-Tails and the Seven-Tails in the anime. As Part II progressed the organisation also obtained the One-Tailed Shukaku, the Two-Tails, the Three-Tails, the Four-Tails, and the Six-Tails in the anime. The capture of seven tailed beasts had come with great losses for Akatsuki, so the organisation's founder, Tobi, dedicated extra resources to the remaining beasts' capture.
To capture the Eight-Tails, Tobi sent former Konoha ninja, Sasuke Uchiha, and his team to the Land of Lightning to apprehend Killer B. Much of the Valley of Clouds and Lightning was destroyed during the battle, and at its conclusion Killer B appeared to be captured. Killer B's brother, the Fourth Raikage, was enraged by the news and demanded a meeting of the Kage to finally do something about Akatsuki and possibly save B. In reality, B only pretended to be captured, and Akatsuki continued searching for him.
As summons for the summit were sent out, Konoha was attacked by the recognised Akatsuki leader, Pain. Tobi had sent Pain to find Naruto Uzumaki, the jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. Naruto was able to elude capture and defeat Pain, but most of the village was destroyed. Additionally, the Fifth Hokage was left in a coma, necessitating she be replaced by Danzō, the candidate for the position of Sixth Hokage.
For the meeting, the Kage were allowed to bring two bodyguards. The Kage and their bodyguards departed for the Land of Iron, a neutral, samurai-controlled country. Mifune, the general of the Land of Iron, presided over the summit. When all were present, the Fifth Kazekage began the discussion. As the former host of the One-Tailed Shukaku, he had long considered Akatsuki a serious threat and requested cooperation between the villages, something only the Fifth Hokage had agreed to. The Third Tsuchikage scoffed at the idea of the villages working together, citing the need for the villages to look after themselves. Nevertheless, he expressed concern for how many tailed beasts Akatsuki had obtained. The Fifth Mizukage opined that they shouldn't be so concerned about the loss of the tailed beasts, as controlling them was a difficult task that required lots of time and skill, even for Akatsuki. The Tsuchikage and Danzō agreed on this point.
The Raikage, frustrated with the discussion thus far, crushed the table in front of him. The bodyguards came to their Kage's aid but order was quickly restored. The Raikage voiced his distrust of the other villages, all having previously employed Akatsuki and all having had an Akatsuki representative at some point in time. Only his own Kumogakure had never employed the organisation. The Tsuchikage defended Iwagakure's actions, saying that he was forced to employ Akatsuki because of Kumogakure's relentless efforts to amass power and techniques. Danzō made no comment, and the Kazekage, having been unaware of Sunagakure's use of Akatsuki, was disgusted. The Fifth Mizukage, when confronted with allegations that Akatsuki had been created in Kirigakure, offered only her desire to find out how Akatsuki worked in to her village's history.
To get the meeting back on track, Danzō revealed "Madara Uchiha's" involvement with Akatsuki. Because of this revelation, Mifune proposed having the ninja villages join forces against Akatsuki, to be led by one of the Kage. For this position he nominated Danzō, believing that Konoha's Nine-Tails to be the only tailed beast not yet captured by Akatsuki. When questioned by the remaining Kage, Mifune pointed out why they were unfit for the job: the Kazekage was too young; the Tsuchikage was too old and had used too much of Akatsuki in the past; Kirigakure had suspicious connections with Akatsuki; and the Raikage's destruction of the table showed him to be too easily swayed by his emotions.
Before the Kage could come to an agreement, Ao, one of the Mizukage's bodyguards, revealed that Danzō was manipulating Mifune's actions through a unique genjutsu. Before he could be pressed on this matter, Zetsu of Akatsuki appeared and told the Kage that Sasuke Uchiha was nearby. The Raikage apparently killed Zetsu and left with his bodyguards to fight Sasuke, and the Kazekage followed with his own bodyguards soon afterwards. While the Raikage was gone Danzō explained that his manipulation of Mifune was because what he perceived to be a need for the ninja world to be brought together in order to stop the endless conflicts. When Sasuke arrived at their location Danzō fled with his bodyguards, he being Sasuke's target.
Sasuke was unable to follow Danzō, being stopped by the Mizukage and Tsuchikage. Before he could be killed by the latter he was saved by Tobi, who sent him away to recuperate. When the Raikage and Kazekage returned, Tobi told those in attendance about his Eye of the Moon Plan: his desire to unite the tailed beasts back into the original Ten-Tails so that he might bring the whole world under his control. To that end he requests the Kage give him the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails. When the Kage refuse, Tobi declares the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War and leaves.
With these new developments, the Kage and Mifune agreed to form the Allied Shinobi Forces, pooling their resources to battle Akatsuki and their seven tailed beasts. With the revelation that Kumogakure still had Killer B, and the Hokage's previous actions, A was selected as the group's leader. They choose not to work with Danzō but, knowing Konoha's contributions would be vital to the war effort, agree to inform Konoha of their plan through other channels: Kakashi Hatake.
In terms of tactics, the Kage decide to immediately secure B and Naruto to make sure they do not fall into Akatsuki's hands. The Tsuchikage suggests using the two on the battlefield to bring the war to a swift end, but the other Kage disagree, believing that would make it too easy for Akatsuki to capture them. Instead, protecting them both will become a top priority. The Kage Summit ends, and the Kage depart to inform their respective villages and daimyō of their decisions.

Net Zero Home Gets 600 LEDs Controlled by Automation System
Homeowner builds system, with pro installation help and Crestron automation, to make bring stubborn LED lights under control.
Steve Goldman is proud of his house. Since construction began in 2009 it's been a labor of love for the self-professed technology enthusiast. Remarkably, it's not what the home can do, but what it doesn't do that has Goldman beaming with pride. Thanks to technology, the home is one of the largest LEED Platinum rated residences in the country. It's also a "Net Zero" house, which means it produces more energy than it consumes.
There are three key elements that make this 14,000-square-foot home so energy efficient that Goldman is able to sell power back to the local utility: the implementation of LED lighting; a geothermal heating and cooling system; and a 45-kilowatt solar system. "The only incandescent bulb we use is the one in the microwave oven," says Goldman. The rest of the lights—all 600 fixtures and more than 2,000 linear feet of rope—are illuminated by LED bulbs.
As efficient as these lights are, though, Goldman went the extra step and had them, as well as many other parts of his new home, professionally automated. Lights have been programmed to turn on and off by themselves since the dawn of home automation, so on the surface it seemed like a simple project. The problem, explains Chris Montreuil, senior system designer at VIA International (formerly DSI Entertainment Systems), Los Angeles, was that at the time of the installation most home automation systems were still designed to communicate with incandescent bulbs only. "LED lights use such a small energy load that it's difficult for a home automation system to even recognize that they are on the system," Montreuil explains.

Having a solid technology background, Goldman took it upon himself to design a device that would enable a Crestron automation system to fully dim and brighten every LED bulb in and around his home without a hitch. "It's a proprietary system (a patent application is in process), so I can't say much about it, but it basically fools the system into thinking that there's a load when there really isn't," Goldman explains.

Given Goldman's tech experience and the amount of work he had put into the project, VIA felt comfortable enough to give him piece of the Crestron automation system (a lighting interface module) to test with his newly developed driver and a variety of LED fixtures. Of course, the engineers at VIA were crucial to the system's success, Goldman says.
Without getting too technical, Goldman found the type of LEDs that best responded to his driver and worked his system around them. The result is 100 percent dimming capability, which at the time was impossible for any home automation system to do. With Goldman's driver connected to Crestron's lighting module (and programmed by VIA) the lights in the house were able to dim down to the level where the light looks like a match head, Goldman says.
This dimming capability, plus the numerous lighting "scenes" created by VIA resulted in LEDs that consume less energy than a hair dryer (see sidebar below) and accentuate the architecture and design of the house. A romantic scene, for example, sets the lights in a particular room to a 5-percent intensity level. A user can easily brighten the setting by touching a button on a Crestron wall-mounted keypad (which was installed in every room). VIA also created a special program for Goldman that would allow him to alter the settings of any scene easily from an app on his iPad or a Crestron touchpanel. It's a simple matter of choosing the scene, holding a button down for four seconds and altering the level of intensity of each light on the scene.
The specially engineered system gives Goldman the tools he needs to be in complete control of his house and the amount of energy it consumes … and to possibly sell his LED solution to other homeowners. "There is some contemplation of marketing the driver," says Goldman, "and the good news is, if and when it does become available, it won't be expensive."
Even More Efficient
Did you know you can maximize the energy efficiency of LED lights by dimming them? Although dimmable LEDs weren't readily available when Steve Goldman was building his house, you can find them now, and many can be managed and operated by a home automation system such as Crestron's in this home or lighting control systems such as Lutron's. Although it may seem like you'll be sacrificing good lighting by dimming them, the fact is, an LED bulb even at a super-low setting like 10 percent, still provides ample illumination. "It still looks pretty bright," says Goldman. "You can barely see the light from an incandescent bulb set at 10 percent." This is because LEDs employ semiconductor chips like those used in computers, whereas light bulbs use filaments that have to be heated before they can generate light. It's a capability that Goldman uses to the full advantage, especially outside. As soon as it gets dark, his home's Crestron automation system signals a driver, which tells hundreds of outdoor LED lights to activate. After midnight the LEDs dim to 10 percent. It's a level that still provides ample illumination for security purposes. In this setting each 5-watt LED draws only a ½-watt of power yet provides the same level of illumination of a 20-watt incandescent bulb set at a 50 percent brightness level. All 500 outdoor LED lights combined draw only 250 watts. If these LED lights were conventional incandescent landscape lights, the draw would be 10,000 watts, says Goldman.

When Maine balanced its budget this year, one of the cuts was to smoking cessation services for MaineCare recipients. The cut, which went into effect Sept. 1, eliminated $500,000 from the budget for the programs, resulting in the loss of about $1 million in federal matching funds. Now, a coalition of public health organizations is hoping to restore the services, which they say will save Maine money in the long run. Patty Wight reports.
When Dr. Lani Graham - co-chair of the public health committee for the Maine Medical Association - heard about the cuts to smoking cessation programs - she was shocked. Shocked because, she says, tobacco is a leading cause of death and disease in the U.S. and Maine.
And as it is, Graham says, tobacco addiction doesn't get adequate resources and attention like other diseases do. "If I were a smoker, which, thank God I'm not, I would be just enraged at the fact that I wouldn't have access to services," she says.
Part of the problem, says Dr. Graham, is that tobacco use is seen as a choice. But Graham says that choice is often made in the teen years, and by the time someone is hooked, it's one of the toughest addictions to beat - on par with cocaine and heroin.
The upside is that if someone receives help to combat the addiction, the chances of quitting double.
"We should be doing everything we possibly can to try to help people in the MaineCare program quit," says Edward Miller, vice president of policy for the Northeast American Lung Association. Miller says stopping tobacco addiction is the most cost-effective step Maine can take to keep health care costs down.
His assertion is backed up by a study published earlier this year by George Washington University. It examined the Medicaid smoking cessation program in Massachusetts and found that for every $1 spent, there were more than $3 in associated medical savings.
"And over 40 percent of people in the MaineCare program are smokers, so this is a major problem," Miller says. "And we really should be doing the opposite of what was done last session."
The cuts were made last session to help balance the state budget. One argument for making the cuts was that there are other smoking cessation services available in the state - namely, a telephone service.
Audio from voicemail: "Thank you for calling the Maine Tobacco Helpline. If you are a first time caller, please press '1' now."
Hilary Schneider of the Maine Cancer Society says the problem is the Tobacco Helpline can only provide coverage for over-the-counter nicotine replacement drugs. Oftentimes, she says, prescription drugs are needed to conquer such a powerful addiction.
"And we also know the Helpline has a limited budget, and time will only tell, whether the Helpline, even for over-the-counter cessation productus, can handle that additional population."
Schneider says the loss of nearly $1 million in federal matching funds could also put the state in a pinch. Director of MaineCare Services Stefanie Nadeau says the cut was a tough, but necessary, choice.
"One thing that needs to be taken into consideration is, through the Affordable Care Act, effective January 1 of 2014, these services and these prescriptions do come back as mandatory benefits under the Medicaid program," she says. "So we will be required to restore smoking cessation products."
"That really is not something that we ought to just count on," says Ed Miller of the lung association, "Really, no details have been released on what does that mean, how many medications may be covered, will all of them be covered, for how long? There are a lot of questions still on that."
Miller says Maine used to be a leader in smoking cessation programs and that he'd like to see the cuts restored by July. He says that could happen in a variety of ways that would be budget-neutral. One way, he says, would be is to close a loophole that taxes tobacco products other than cigarettes at a much lower rate.

Harren Hoare, better known as Harren the Black and Black Harren, is an unseen character in Game of Thrones. He is dead by the time of the series and has only been mentioned in dialogue.
Harren the Black was an ironborn King who ruled over the Iron Islands and the Riverlands from his castle, Harrenhal. Harrenhal was the biggest castle in the entire history of the Seven Kingdoms and was built to be invulnerable to any attack by land.[1]
However, when Aegon Targaryen invaded the Seven Kingdoms, King Harren's vassals from the Riverlands, led by Edmyn Tully, revolted against him, while Aegon the Conqueror unleashed his dragon, Balerion the Black Dread against the massive stronghold.[2] The King of the Iron Isles and the Riverlands and his sons perished as dragonflame consumed Harrenhal, leaving behind blackened and melted ruins.[3]

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Harren the Black was the last King of the Iron Islands and the Riverlands, grandson of Harwyn Hardhand, a King of the Iron Islands who took the Trident from Arrec, the Storm King. Harren the Black was a vain, bloody tyrant hated by his vassals.

Mediterranean Diet, Gluten-Free Style
In the spirit of celebrating a fresh, clean start as we hit the reset button and bid farewell to the crusty, ragged winter of 2012, I've been contemplating the gentle art of detox, and browsing my Mediterranean Diet friendly recipes (longtime readers may recall I lost the twenty pounds I gained after breaking my hip with a Mediterranean Diet approach to cooking). It was then I decided to gather and share all my Mediterranean inspired recipes in a single reference post. Not only for my own convenience. I hoped you, too, might discover some delicious new recipes -- and perhaps, a few tempting favorites you may have forgotten.
Time to sober up and face the fall-out of all those cookies. The pumpkin bread. That pie! (Have you looked in the mirror lately -- naked? Have you zipped up your favorite pair of skinny jeans since Christmas? Did you have to lay down on the bed to do it?)
If you are over a certain age, you might find what I found.
A little extra around the middle to grab onto.
This doesn't make me happy. I know, I know. I'm supposed to love myself no matter what. I'm supposed to be happy with my shape -- no matter what. I should embrace my extra roll of tummy fat and make peace with it, right? But the dirty little truth is, I don't like the extra weight. Even if it's only five pounds. It makes me feel sluggish and dull. And no amount of post-feminist self esteem rationalizing is going to fire up my enthusiasm for feeling like a stuffed sausage when I yank on my jeans. I like feeling light. Trim. Fit.
So it's time to pinch Doris and tell her to skedaddle. It's time for detoxing from all the sugar. It's time to get real and shape up. Get moving.
10 quick healthy diet tips
1. Include soups. Lots of soups- with nourishing veggies and spices. Try my Detox Mulligatawny Soup for starters.
2. Go vegetarian and vegan as much as possible to avoid saturated fat which is pro-inflammatory. Say buh-bye to fried foods.
3. Avoid high fructose corn syrup like the plague. I mean it. It's bad for your liver, Babycakes.
4. You don't drink soda do you? Well quit it. Even diet soda packs on the pounds. Giving up a single soda a day will net you a six pound weight loss in a year. Just from one less soda. Sodas are packed with sodium, you know. Which makes you more thirsty. Wonder why? Yep. So you'll drink more soda. Not to mention, more sodium makes you retain water. How lovely.
5. Snack when you're hungry. Not on cookies. Pick crisp fresh veggies and hummus, an apple. Carrot sticks. No one ever got fat munching on carrot sticks. Have a few organic almonds. Starving yourself will only make you cranky and more likely to eat sugar.
6. Two simple words. Portion control. Imagine a deck of cards. That's a portion.
7. Play a CD you like to dance to. Walk whenever you can (even for ten minutes, if that's all you've got). Climb stairs instead of the escalator. Shake your booty. Like you mean it.
8. I also like astringent herbal teas, on occasion. Tea with cranberry and uva ursi can help you shed water weight and keep your detoxing sugar-craving tummy feeling full.
9. Get enough rest. As in sleep. Don't take work to bed with you (I'm talking to myself here). Feeling tired and stressed will make you crave sugar.
10. Avoid sitting on the computer for long stretches of time- set a timer on your phone to nudge you to get up and stretch, and move around every twenty minutes. This alone can help thwart the widening of your tuchas.

- Colorado Supreme Court to hear Ward Churchill's appeal for CU job
Former University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill, rebuffed by the state Supreme Court Monday, said he plans to appeal his firing by the school to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"We'll see if the U.S. Supreme Court is inclined to do any better," Churchill wrote in an e-mail to The Denver Post, shortly after the Colorado Supreme Court affirmed two lower court rulings saying Churchill was not entitled to reinstatement or back pay.
Churchill, who was fired in 2007 from his position in CU's ethnic studies department after charges of plagiarism and academic misconduct, filed a civil lawsuit against the school for wrongful termination. He won the suit, with a jury saying his rights to free speech under the First Amendment were violated by the school. Churchill was awarded $1 by a jury, but the District Court judge declined to reinstate him.
In 2010, the State Court of Appeals upheld the judge's decision not to give Churchill his job back. He appealed to the state Supreme Court, which made its ruling in a 55-page opinion.
Although a university spokesman said that "everyone in the community is ready to move forward and put this matter in the rearview mirror," Churchill said he will continue to fight.
"The number of factual misrepresentations contained in the opinion is exceeded only by the number of times the law is twisted to fit the court's preferred conclusions," he wrote.
Churchill's attorney, David Lane, said his client has 90 days to file a petition for the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case.
"They're our last option," Lane said. "We have a jury verdict that says the CU Board of Regents are First Amendment violators, but Ward Churchill can't do anything about it."
According to the Boulder Daily Camera, Churchill sold his home in Boulder last month. Lane told the Camera that Churchill now lives in Atlanta where he continues to write and lecture.
Churchill came under fire after an essay he wrote that likened some victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to a World War II Nazi official. CU investigated whether his essay was protected under the First Amendment and found that it was. But while the investigation was underway, academics came forward and accused Churchill of plagiarism and fraud in scholarly writings, which led to his termination.
Monday's ruling, affirming the two earlier court decisions, was "disturbing," Lane said.
"This is a dangerous precedent to all free society," he said. "There's never been a dispute that his First Amendment rights were violated, but what they said was that the Regents can't be sued. I guess that gives them the green light to violate the Constitution any time they see fit."
In his ruling, District Court Judge Larry Naves said the Board of Regents acted as a "quasi-judicial" panel, which gave it immunity from Churchill's lawsuit.
CU-Boulder Chancellor Phil DiStefano issued a statement saying the state Supreme Court's decision "upholds the high standards of academic integrity practiced every day by our faculty, and helps us to ensure the quality of instruction for all our students."
"It is vital that what is published and what is taught in the classroom be based on research and scholarship grounded in honest, accepted and time-tested methods," DiStefano said. "This was always what was at stake in this case for the university, and the winners today are our faculty and students."

Fayetteville's police chief is back on the job after accidentally shooting herself in the hand.
WTVD-TV reported Friday that Fayetteville Police Department Interim Chief Katherine Bryant was wounded earlier this week.
Details surrounding the incident have not been released, but officials said the accident did not happen with her police issued weapon. No one else was hurt.
Bryant was out of the office while she received medical attention.
Bryant was appointed interim police chief in June after then-police chief Tom Bergamine announced his retirement. She has served with the Fayetteville Police Department for more than 25 years.

Every year they help hundreds of girls bypass the 'probation pipeline'
By Dwight Hobbes
Contributing Writer
"Amicus Radius, honored as 2012 Program of the Year by Minnesota Women's Consortium…, works with teenage girls involved in the juvenile justice system."
On the face of it, this is a press release headline congratulating a do-good, social-service organization for having its laudable initiative recognized by a prominent entity. But with a discerning look, the Radius program's significance can't be overstated by press-release praise. Not when it comes to making a difference in the lives of young Black girls ensnared in the legal system.

(KSDK Sports) -- The Missouri Tigers and head coach Frank Haith have been making headlines lately regarding possible allegations, investigations, wrong doings and much more. All this while the team and its coach try to keep a promising season on track.
The Tigers have been taking care of business against the lesser teams in the SEC but when they have been called on to step it up recently they have struggled.
Missouri has gone 11-0 at home and have played the 33rd ranked schedule in the country but away from home they are winless.
As a team Missouri is averaging 75.3 points, 13.8 assists, and they are shooting 44.2 percent while defensively they are allowing 65.7 points, 11.3 assists, and their opponents are shooting 39.4 percent.
Laurence Bowers has been out but he leads Missouri averaging 16.8 points and 6.9 rebounds, Phil Pressey is averaging 11.9 points and 7.2 assists, and Alex Oriakhi is averaging 10.4 points and 8.4 rebounds. Missouri is clearly a better team with Bowers and they will need him to be at 100 percent in March.
Today, the Tigers take on another SEC opponent at home. The Vanderbilt Commodores have won their last two games and while they are still below .500 they are playing their best basketball of the season.
Vandy is 2-2 on the road this season, 0-3 against teams ranked in the top 25, and they have played the 53rd ranked schedule in the nation. As a team Vanderbilt is averaging 59.8 points, 11.5 assists, and they are shooting 40.7 percent while defensively they are allowing 60.6 points, 10.8 assists, and their opponents are shooting 41.1 percent.
Kedren Johnson is averaging 15.1 points, Kyle Fuller is averaging 10.8 points, and Rod Odom is averaging 9.2 points. Vandy plays three of their next four games on the road.

(NYSE: CTL) reported higher fourth quarter earnings of 37 cents per share compared with 18 cents per share in the year ago period but the results fell short of analyst expectations and the telecommunications company cut its quarterly dividend from $0.725 per share to $0.54 per share.
