Swimming pool, sauna, a table literally filled up with alcohol and food, 4chan, guitar hero and around 50 people was the name of the game for this weekend, when Energia team threw a pikkujoulut-party here in Tampere, the center of the world. The main reason for the party was actually our collective birthday – the Energia office team 140 years birthday. Me, Samuli, Antti, Jarmo and Laku all have b-days pretty close to each others, and since last year we learned that it's pretty stupid to buy together gifts to each one of us each week, so we just decided that we'll invite our friends and have a party.
Samuli, Atte and Monto are enjoying the pool. Sorry about shitty picture quality, if I find somebody with better pictures, I'll try to throw a better one here.
The place we rented was this cool joint with sauna, enough space and as a super bonus – a pretty large swimming pool (the place is called Kotilosauna – it's reasonably priced, so if you wanna have a good party in Tampere, get that place – end of commercial break!). We had asked everybody to bring along some alcohol and something to eat, and pretty soon there was around nine thousand (maybe a little over) bottles of vodka, beer, koskenkorva and wine to keep us entertained.
I've never been a huge fan of company parties actually, since in most cases they have two major flaws: a) somebody has organised a shitload of stupid little 'games' to entertain guests, and b) the people would rather be somewhere else than spending time with the same boring faces they barely manage not to kill at workplace during weeks. And usually it gets pretty dirty in the end, somebody says something to somebody, somebody fucks wrong person or something like that… you know the drill.
With Energia, it's a bit different. Although Antti might disagree, we actually enjoy spending time with each other and our closest business associates – and on top of it all, we are so cool and hypersexy it's just an aura of awesomeness that nothing else is required! We also decided not to organize any specific program – my experience is, that if you have enough alcohol and the critical mass of good people is reached, nothing else is required.
Only speciality for the evening we had planned – which I would like to suggest also to everybody thinking of something funny in party – was that we looped a slideshow of pictures I had been collecting from 4chan for the last couple of months during the whole party. It's not intrusive, doesn't require music to be turned out for example and people sitting silently, and the pictures can just flip in the background, but if somebody wants to have a good 10 minutes of laughter after few drinks, nothing could be better. Me and Antti were literally rolling on the floor with our eyes wet when we just had a little break from sauna and watched some slides.
My personal opinion is that Guitar Hero is the cancer that's killing good parties. I've been to couple of GH-ridden parties and just hate to stand and watch people playing like shit some tunes I would actually like to listen. But regardless of what I had specifically asked for, Laku brought X-box and Guitar Hero… But I have to say it was a good thing. The place was big enough for us to listen to *real* music in the pool room, and the GH-freaks really had a good time playing the game in the adjacent room. So, I think what we learned from this was that Guitar Hero fits to parties ONLY if there's another same-size room with a stereo playing real music and people are not forced to listen/watch GH.
So, eventually everything went well. It was unbelieveable, but having invited around 50 people there, there was not a single asshole around (a pool full of dicks, though…), not a single passing-out-in-a-toilet-situation, no fights or arguments, only damn good party and nice pikkujoulu. Afterwards we headed – as it seems to be our habit – to YO-talo, where the things kept going on to early morning hours.
Ps. as an eye-opening experience, Johanna, our scriptwriteress, brought some cheese and mustard from I think Denmark along, and although at first combining them together seemed like blasphemy to me, they went together very well! Just try, buy Koti Sinappi for example and some Mustaleima, and try them together, it's great!

I started growing swiss chard in my garden about five years ago when my good friend Pat told me how you could cut the chard leaves and the plant would produce new ones over and over. That sounded good to me, and for several years now I've made tasty dishes using these easy-to-grow greens. This year I've neglected the swiss chard recipes, but I think I'm making up for it with this Spicy Asian Stir-Fried Swiss Chard. This could easily become my favorite way to cook swiss chard, it was that good.
(Makes 3-4 servings; recipe adapted from From Asparagus to Zucchini, A Guide to Cooking Farm-Fresh Seasonal Produce.)
1 lb. swiss chard, stems and leaves chopped separately
1 T peanut oil or grapeseed oil
1 T minced garlic
Sauce Ingredients:
1 T + 2 tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. Hoisin sauce
1 tsp. Black Bean Garlic sauce
1-2 tsp. Chili Garlic Sauce (start with 1 tsp. and taste to see if you want more heat)
1 T sugar, Splenda, or Stevia in the Raw (use Splenda or Stevia in the Raw for South Beach Diet)

Logistics technology: 2010 was a solid year for supply chain software
July 11, 2011
2010 was a solid year for supply chain management software. The industry posted a 10% increase over 2009 and about $4.6 billion in revenue for SCM applications, not counting procurement.
The numbers come from Chad Eschinger, research director with Gartner. Eschinger and Gartner also provided the compilation for our annual list Top 20 providers of supply chain management software, ranked by revenue.
The article will appear in the July issue of Modern Materials Handling, LM's sister publication. In addition to the numbers, Eschinger identified the trends that drove last year's rebound. Much of the growth may have been the result of pent up demand. A number of projects went forward that had been stalled because of the recession. But Eschinger also identified several key drivers.
-Lack of visibility: Large corporations were left with too much inventory when the recession hit and too little inventory when demand picked up in 2009. "Users are looking at applications like sales and operations planning, transportation management and asset management applications that can be levered to track goods in motion," Eschinger says. "They want a better handle on their plans."
-Enabling corporate strategy: Everyone wants to reduce their costs, but increasingly businesses are targeting their supply chains to improve their overall corporate viability, especially customer service.
-Total landed cost: Blame it on the high cost of transportation, increasing wages in emerging markets and multi-channel sales and distribution strategies, but companies are using their supply chain systems to take a more analytical look at what it costs to fill an online order versus a retail store and what is the total landed cost to source in Mexico versus China.
The question now is whether the growth in 2010 will continue in 2011. Eschinger believes it will and that 2012 is looking good as well. After that, we'll have to see how the recovery proceeds. You'll be able to read the whole report online next week.

Ice Age: NYC's Frozen-Dessert Revolution
by Jonathan Zeller, 05/30/2012
The Soft Serve Fruit Co (left) and People's Pops. Photos: Laura Miller
It may seem like a trained monkey could operate a successful ice-cream shop during the blistering New York City summer. When it's 100 degrees outside, it's almost a reflex to pull out your wallet to pay for something—anything—cold and edible. But in the past few years, perhaps due to a marketplace crowded with people who figure that, as ice-cream maker Ben Van Leeuwen puts it, "[ice cream] is sort of a safe thing to try and sell," New York has witnessed an explosion in frozen-dessert innovation. Artisanal shops are using natural and organic ingredients, pushing boundaries by serving unusual flavors—durian, mastic and "Sunday Brunch," for example—and even creating new categories of dessert, including goat-milk ice cream and soft-serve fruit.

I've been extremely curious about the elk hunting in unit 63. This seems to be one of the most liberal OTC elk tags available, which has me wondering about the tag. I'm fairly fimiliar with the area as I do a bit of coyote hunting in the general area, but I have never actually seen an elk out there (though lots of sign!). I actually enjoy the flat sagebrush lands almost as much as I love the mountains, which has really got me interested in learning more about the elk here. I understand the two largest difficulties are probably no areas where you can glass and a huge portion being owned by the INEL.
With that, has anyone ever hunted this unit for elk? Anyone willing to share their experiences with me?
Is this area hunted a lot with ATV's? I don't see any motorized restricitions. Because of limited access are most hunters congregated in certain areas? I have some other specific questions that I will hold as not to publicly ruin anyones hunting area, but I do have more questions if anyone wants to talk shop

We are just past the midway point of the high school football season and things are starting to heat up for teams in the Ohio Valley.
If the season ended today, as many as 15 OVAC schools would be headed for the postseason with a number just on the outside looking in.
Seven of those teams reside in Ohio with Steubenville, St. Clairsville, Martins Ferry, Harrison Central, Shadyside, Steubenville Catholic and Bellaire currently in position to capture playoff berths.
In West Virginia, Wheeling Park, Morgantown, University and Parkersburg South are in the hunt in Class AAA, while Magnolia, Clay-Battelle, Weirton Madonna, Wheeling Central and Bishop Donahue will likely be among the top 16 when the WVSSAC rankings are released on today.
Playoff positioning will be on the line with a big slate of games Friday night as Wheeling Park plays host to Morgantown and Bishop Donahue welcomes Weirton Madonna to Monarch Stadium.
St. Clairsville is a perfect 6-0 following last week's victory against Bellaire and is the No. 1 ranked team in Division IV, Region 15. Martins Ferry (5) and Harrison Central (6) also reside in that region.
Off the Schneid
Congratulations to Coach Sean Blumette for earning his first victory as head coach at Brooke.
The Bruins edged Point Pleasant on Friday as Brooke tasted victory for the first time this season.

Nancy Trejos, USA TODAY
White Lodging, a company that manages hotels for nationwide brands such as Marriott, Holiday Inn and Sheraton, is investigating a possible data breach at 14 properties.
The suspected credit and debit card breach occurred between March 20 and Dec. 16 at restaurants, lounges and other food and beverage outlets at those properties, the company said in a statement this afternoon.
The hotels, which White Lodging manages under agreements with the owners, are located in various cities, including Chicago, Austin, Denver and Indianapolis. White Lodging runs as a separate entity from the hotel brands.
Guests who didn't use their credit cards at the outlets or who charged items directly to their room accounts were not affected, the company said.
At one hotel, the Radisson Star Plaza in Merrillville, Ind., the breach could have gone beyond food and beverage outlets and into the property management system that manages guests' credit card information.
White Lodging, which is based in Merrillville and manages 169 hotels, says it immediately contacted federal law enforcement officials and initiated a review of all its other properties. It also contacted the financial institutions that issue the credit and debit cards. Those institutions are increasing their fraud monitoring or reissuing cards, the company said.
"We continue to work with investigators and the credit card companies," the company said in its statement.
The U.S. Secret Service said it is investigating the matter.
The company said that the information that was compromised could have included names printed on credit or debit cards, the actual numbers, the security codes and expiration dates.
"Guests who used or visited the affected businesses during the nine month-period and who used a credit or debit card to pay their bills at the outlets might have had such information compromised and are encouraged to review their statements from that time period," the company said.
Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover do not hold customers liable for unauthorized charges if they report them in a timely manner.
White Lodging will offer affected customers one year of complimentary identity protection services.
Marriott, which had nine properties affected, including two under its Renaissance brand, said in a written statement that it was working closely with White Lodging as they investigate the breach.
"Since this impacts customers of Marriott properties, we want to provide assurance that Marriott has a long-standing commitment to protect the privacy of the personal information that our guests entrust to us, and we will continue to monitor the situation closely," the company said.
"As you can imagine, the privacy and security of our guest information is very important to Starwood, and we are working closely with White Lodging as they conduct their investigation," Starwood Hotels and Resorts, parent company of Westin and Sheraton, said in a statement. "The breach appears to have affected food and beverage outlets at the hotels and to our knowledge, the system that manages hotel guests' credit card information was not affected at either of our properties."
InterContinental Hotels Group, parent company of Holiday Inn, which had two properties affected, said it too was cooperating with White Lodging.
"IHG is committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of our guests," the company said. "IHG is in communication with White Lodging, who continues to provide updates on the investigation to their business partners, as well as to consumers via their website."
This latest incident comes as a number of major retailers have had to deal with their own security attacks.
Millions of people who shopped at Target Nov. 27 through Dec. 15 could have had their credit and debit information and other personal data compromised.

Fire damages Paddock Park Apartments
Published: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 11:55 a.m.

Ocala Fire Rescue got a call at 11:02 a.m. and was on scene in minutes.
The blaze was in Building 2000 at the complex located at 2701 SW 41st St. There are 16 units in the building, but just one side, with eight units, was affected.
Fire officials said it looked like the fire was caused by an electrical issue and that it appeared to have started in the closet of an upstairs apartment.
Smoke could be seen from several miles away, and when firefighters arrived, they observed flames coming through the roof of the two-story wood structure, according to Ocala Fire Rescue Assistant Fire Chief Brian Stoothoff.
Stoothoff said two of the eight units were completely destroyed by fire or smoke and two others were seriously damaged. He also said the roof caved in.
Eleven firetrucks and 28 firefighters battled the fire. Stoothoff said more than 20,000 gallons of water were used.
"Firefighters remained on scene for more than five hours" Battalion Chief Wally Brinkman said.
A city of Ocala fire inspector was on scene as well.
Everyone in the building got out safely, and there were no injuries.
Apartment complex manager Linda Pando said eight people were affected and that anyone displaced would be offered sanctuary elsewhere in the complex. The damaged apartments were two-bedroom, one-bath units.
A man who gave only his first name as Dwight ran through the scene speaking in a loud voice and said, "I'm losing everything right now. My whole life is gone."
Another man who would only give his first name, Miguel, said the fire started in the outside porch closet in Apartment 2007.
A woman who said she has lived in the complex for 20 years said she was reading the newspaper when someone knocked on her door and yelled for her to leave because of a fire.
A husband and wife said they were eating lunch when they heard neighbors running by knocking on doors.
Tionna Council, who said she has lived there four months in a two-bedroom, bottom-floor apartment, said she was sleeping when she heard a "loud banging" on doors and people yelling "get out."

13 Personal Records Highlight Cyclones' Saturday
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Iowa State student-athletes notched a total of 12 personal records, Saturday, competing at the Jace Lacoste Invitational and Iowa Musco Twilight. The Cyclones also notched five event titles on the evening.
Jace Lacoste Invitational
The Cyclones notched 10 personal bests at Mississippi State's Jace Lacoste Invitational, as well as event victories by Ese Okoro (400H), Kelly McCoy (HJ), Christina Hillman (SP) and Jan Jeuschede (SP).
In the 200-meter dash, Mark Sitek led the group with a third-place finish, crossing the line in 21.20 seconds. The performance is the fastest by a Cyclone in the event this season. Ivan Tamba (4th) and Jared Ingram (6th) both notched personal bests in the race, clocking it at 21.37 and 21.67, respectively.
In the 100-meter hurdles, Bree Woelber notched her third PR of the season with a time of 14.27 seconds. Woelber has improved her mark in each of her last three races. On the men's side, Ryan Sander clocked a personal-best of his own at 14.29 seconds in the 110m-hurdles. The time is the fastest run by a Cyclone since 2001.
Iowa State swept the shot put, picking up victories on both the men's and women's side of competition. Christina Hillman took first in women's competition with a throw of 55'03.75", while Jan Jeuschede threw a mark of 60'09.25" for the event title. Jeuschede's mark is the farthest of his career, besting his previous mark by one-quarter inch. With the performance, Jeuschede also moves up to fourth on Iowa State's all-time top-10 list in the event.
Ese Okoro continued her strong season in the 400-meter hurdles, winning the event by nearly 3 seconds. Okoro clocked her second sub-57 second performance of the season with a time of 56.93 seconds. Derek Jones moved his name up a spot on the men's all-time list after a 51.65-second PR in the men's section of the 400m-hurdles. Jones placed third overall and is now ranked ninth in program history, passing Mark Eversden.
Kelly McCoy took the win in the women's high jump, clearing a height of 5'08.75" inches. McCoy finished one height shy of a new personal-best in the event.
Kendra White notched her fastest time of the season in the 400-meter dash. White finished second overall behind a 53.97-second performance. The St. Louis, Mo., native was just 0.14 seconds off of her personal best in the event (53.83).

Art and About in July
Arts & Entertainment
by James Gaddy, 06/18/2013
- recently/
- events in nyc/
Celebrate the country's independence this month with two excellent exhibitions that detail the birth of a nation and the sometimes difficult process of establishing a democracy. From Colony to Nation: 200 Years of American Painting at the New-York Historical Society hangs patriotic paintings like portraits of George Washington and depictions of the War of 1812 along with nostalgic scenes of farmers and rural life in the early colonial years—all by masters of American painting such as Gilbert Stuart, Benjamin West, Charles Willson Peale and John Singer Sargent. (Fans of Sargent, in particular, should also be sure to take in John Singer Sargent Watercolors, at the Brooklyn Museum through July 28, which displays 93 of the artist's finest watercolors, all painted during the first two decades of the 20th century.)

These idyllic colonial scenes turn dark at the Met's exhibition The Civil War and American Art, which documents the impact of the War Between the States on the history of art in our own country. The 60 paintings and 18 photographs focus on a 25-year period—between 1852 and 1877—that reflect the mood of the country before, during and after the war. Timed to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, the show features artists such as Winslow Homer, Eastman Johnson and Frederic E. Church.

Once the fireworks of the Fourth are over, head uptown for an awe-inspiring light show of a very different stripe. The Guggenheim is hosting a new exhibition by the light artist James Turrell, who has transformed the museum's famed Frank Lloyd Wright rotunda into an installation in which a series of five rings with LED fixtures surround a core beam of daylight that streams in from the top of the ceiling. The lights create a purple-colored glow that's intended to promote meditation and contemplation while it also mimics the feel of his magnum opus, a crater in the desert outside Arizona that's aligned with astronomical phenomena. The installation is accompanied by an exhibition of some of the artist's other must-see works in the adjacent galleries.
For fans of work revealing a bit more of a human touch, there are two excellent drawing exhibitions on view. Subliming Vessel: The Drawings of Matthew Barney at The Morgan Library & Museum gives a rare look at the contemporary American artist's pen-and-ink pieces, some of them created for his film series Cremaster, others related to his current project River of Fundament. And at The Drawing Center, Ken Price: Slow and Steady Wins the Race, Works on Paper 1962–2010 takes aim at the colorful, flat pieces that Price, primarily known as a sculptor, created over the course of a 50-year career.
One of the largest group shows happening in the City this month is spread across two galleries: Made in Space takes over spots at both the Upper East Side's Venus Over Manhattan and Gavin Brown's Enterprise downtown. Opening on July 11, the show places work from more than 30 artists—ranging from colorful Los Angeles sculptor Peter Shire to text-based conceptual artist Allen Ruppersberg—from different media and different generations in a series of unexpected combinations. A similar spirit of benign anarchy reigns at Rachel Uffner Gallery on the Lower East Side, where emerging artist Graham Collins, Los Angeles–based Samara Golden—known for her large-scale installations—and the prolific 1970s and '80s artist David Wojnarowicz all jostle together in fine form in Truck Baby, on view through July 21.

What do you get when you combine the dramatic photographs of Jon Rafman, the unhinged videos of Keren Cytter and sometimes hilarious self-portraits of Tamy Ben-Tor? Through July 26 at Zach Feuer, Jew York offers a peek at the art world's borscht belt set, as all three artists address international events and experiments in ethnicity with wry—and sometimes outright funny—pieces of art. But it's nothing compared to what might be the most unorthodox show you'll find in New York this month: The Cat Show, at White Columns through July 27, collects cat-centric work from 50 different artists, ranging from late-20th-century artists as diverse as Mike Kelley, Marilyn Minter, Andy Warhol and Barbara Kruger to more recent figures like Rob Pruitt, Rita Ackermann and Michele Abeles. But the centerpiece of the show occurs on July 19 and 20, when visitors will even be able to pick up cats for adoption at the gallery as part of the "Cats-in-Residence" program, where feline creatures who need homes will be set loose in the space and given artistic "purr-sonas."

Briefly Noted
Jane and Louise Wilson
303 Gallery
The two sisters who have exhibited together since 1989 bring together threads of their recent work focused on radioactivity at their fifth show at the gallery. Here, they combine their photographs of Chernobyl's abandoned Atom City, built in the 1970s to house the nuclear facility's factory workers, and large aluminum cast sculptures, which had been previously installed on an H-bomb testing site, with a cast of the 35mm Russian Bolex camera used by the Ukrainian filmmaker Vladimir Shevchenko to document the Chernobyl disaster.
No Name
On Stellar Rays
Through July 25
The Lower East Side gallery continues its—ahem—stellar lineup with a show that collects a wide range of up-and-coming and established artists, including painter Jonathan VanDyke, 3-D modeler Shamus Clisset, master of craft Susan Collis and others, all artists whose work refuses to be categorized or labeled, a refreshing break from some of the summer blockbuster shows.
Storefront Bushwick
Through July 28
Ten artists who work with abstract forms will be exhibiting together at this Brooklyn-based gallery, which loosely groups the artists around the title of Plato's book that details Socrates' arguments on the afterlife. The participants—mostly young emerging artists like JJ Garfinkel, Gilbert Hsiao and Emily Berger—all create pieces that use abstraction as a tool for discovery, rather than an end in itself, whether it's represented as tight, psychedelic patterns or soft-focus brushstrokes on canvas.
Through July 27
Don't expect comedy routines at this themed exhibition organized by the young curator Kari Cwynar. Instead, sound installations broadcast experiments on the contagious nature of laughter, photographs relate back to episodes of female hysteria in the 19th century, and early video work from Christian Boltanski in which he performs a stand-up routine that is anything but rote.
Mira Dancy: Bodytoni
The perennially underrated downtown gallery hosts an exhibition of Dancy's striking paintings filled with imposing, yet venerable, female figures—sometimes sketched in black and white, which she applies with beautiful puddles of color on canvas, shower curtains and pillows.

(SportsNetwork.com) - Russell Wilson's helmet fits more snug nowadays since
he's been growing out his thick locks.
The Seattle Seahawks quarterback hasn't occupied a barber's chair in quite
some time, a gesture to commemorate his late father, Harrison, who died from
complications of diabetes in 2010.
"When I was in 11th grade, we won the state championship. I had my hair grown
out," Wilson said. "I didn't cut my hair the whole year for that season and my
dad didn't either, so it kind of inspired me for this year."
Wilson compared his coif to Michael Jackson or Bruno Mars during Super Bowl
Media Day, and the Seahawks are hoping his performance Sunday against the
Denver Broncos will be a "Thriller" or a "Treasure" -- hits from the
aforementioned pop stars.
Seattle's franchise quarterback is a devout Christian, so fans should hope he
doesn't cut his hair prior to Sunday and lose strength much like Samson in the
Old Testament book of Judges. Samson got power from his flowing locks until
the temptress Delilah took shears to his dome piece.
If there are any nervous Seahawks fans out there, don't fret. Wilson will not
be getting a fade or a high-and-tight any time soon.
Wilson puts his trust in the Lord and may be a bit superstitious as well. It
has helped Wilson both on and off the football field, and there is no better
time than now at the Super Bowl to have faith in what he believes in. Scroll
through Wilson's Twitter page and you will be reminded where his heart and
soul reside.
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be
That was taken from the book of Matthew and perfectly defines Wilson, who has
been searching for success in sports and as a human being. The former
Wisconsin star takes excerpts from various books of the Bible and uses them in
his every day life. He takes the time to comfort the less fortunate such as
ill children or the elderly. He plays a predominant role in the Seattle
community with his beautiful wife, Ashton.
He is also the beacon of light in Seattle's prolific offense.
"We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who
have been called according to his purpose."
Those words from the book of Romans inspire Wilson, who believes enduring
hardship is a form of discipline and lets perseverance finish its work so that
he may be mature and complete. Wilson's firm belief in Christianity is what
carries the second-year quarterback and gives him hope.
Wilson even visualized playing in the Super Bowl one day.
"I'm big into visualizing and this moment right here is exactly what I
visualized," Wilson said. "Being here in this moment is one of those things I
truly believed going into the year, after we played the preseason game against
the Denver Broncos that we may play them."
One characteristic Wilson wasn't blessed with was height, but he makes up for
it with a lot of heart and determination. Barely 6-foot and just over 200
pounds, Wilson has excelled with a strong right arm and quick feet. He's not
bothered by being a foot or more shorter than his offensive line and often is
compared to Super Bowl-winning QB Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints.
Brees is barely 6-foot as well, but it doesn't show in the stat sheet.
"Well, Drew Brees was a guy that I looked up to ever since my dad really told
me about him, back when I was in middle school and high school, 'Hey you have
to watch this guy at Purdue, or you have to watch this guy play,'" Wilson
said. "Just studying his craft, studying his game. I've read his book several
times, and he's just great inspiration. He's a guy that does things right, a
guy that is a great leader and he's so poised in big situations. That's the
thing you notice about him."
People have noticed similar traits with Wilson, especially on the field.
Wilson is one of four players in NFL history to pass for at least 20
touchdowns in each of their first two seasons, joining Pro Football Hall of
Famer Dan Marino, Peyton Manning and Andy Dalton. He has 52 touchdown passes
in his first two seasons, which is tied for second with Sunday's opposing
quarterback in Manning.
He has ingested offensive coordinator's Darrell Bevell's system to lead the
Seahawks to an amazing 20-4 record since Week 9 of his rookie season. Known
for his leadership and poise under pressure, Wilson has the Seahawks in the
Super Bowl with receivers not too many have heard of. Doug Baldwin, Golden
Tate, Jermaine Kearse and hardly used Percy Harvin will be catching most of
Wilson's passes at MetLife Stadium.
Luckily, Wilson has running back Marshawn Lynch to hand the ball off to.
Just days away from becoming just the sixth second-year quarterback (3-2) to
start a Super Bowl, Wilson has recorded a 3-1 record and a 96.9 passer rating
in his postseason career. He is a firm believer that separation is in the
preparation and it's not how you start but how you finish.
That couldn't be more evident when Wilson took the starting QB job away from
Matt Flynn during 2012 training camp. Flynn came in with the big bucks and
Wilson proved he had the bigger heart by Week 1 and won over head coach Pete
Carroll. Flynn could pretty much serve french fries to Wilson's family at a
drive-thru on the way to a skiing trip.
The winningest quarterback in the first two seasons of his career in NFL
history, Wilson has been composed the moment he started his NFL career and his
condor hasn't wavered during Super Bowl week.
That hasn't surprised Carroll.
"We've never seen anything from Russell that wasn't a consistent, direction,
support, mindset, character, work habits; he's never changed at all. Nothing's
ever changed," Carroll said. "The way we deal with him has been very
consistent because he's been so rock solid consistent. He's ready for this
opportunity. He's been readying himself throughout his playing career in all
Carroll believes with Wilson's savvy and faith he will continue to show that
he is always prepared for the moment because of his work ethic. Carroll
doesn't expect anything to change on game day or in the film room because
Wilson has shown no reason for the coaching staff to think differently.
Baldwin has no worries either about his QB in the big game.
"He's quiet, he's to himself a lot. He's one of those guys that he likes so
much to be dialed into the game plan and into the film that it's kind of hard
to pull him away from it at times because he's so focused and so involved,"
Baldwin said. "He does open up, he's just like everybody, he's a big teddy
bear. He likes to joke around and have fun; but he's so serious about his
Baldwin doesn't feel the distractions surrounding the Super Bowl will alter
Wilson's thought process or mentality, and believes he is going to be "the
same Russell Wilson that he's been the entire season."
Wilson is trying to join Kurt Warner, Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger as the
only quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl in his first or second season.
"To get to the Super Bowl, we're excited about it," Wilson said. "But at the
end of the day, we haven't done anything yet. We won the NFC West, which was
one of our goals. We won the NFC Championship Game, which isn't easy. But only
one team gets the prize."
Wilson has the right mindset, which comes from years of steadfast belief in
faith, family and doing unto others as he would have them do to him.
From the book of Revelations: "To the one who is victorious and does my will
to the end, I will give authority over the nations."
Sunday could be the day Wilson has authority over the NFL.

The rain was easing or ending in most of Eastern Carolina as Beryl moved away Wedneday afternoon.
Conditions will continue to clear into this evening.
The National Hurricane Center issued its last advisory for Beryl at 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Beryl was a post-tropical cyclone as of 5 p.m. with maximum sustained winds of 40 miles per hour and was moving east-northeast at 21 miles per hour away from North Carolina.
Thursday is forecast to be in the 80s and partly sunny for Eastern Carolina. There is a chance for severe weather on Friday.
Previous Story:
Beryl will bring copious amounts of rainfall, along with some gusty coastal winds through Wednesday.
The storm will likely bring 2 to 5+ inches of rain from the central counties through the Crystal Coast and Outer Banks. 1 to 2 inches will be likely north of highway 64 although communities along and near the northeast coast could see 3 to 5 inches. Flooding will be likely across much of the area, especially with the already wet grounds. A flood watch has been issued for all counties along and south of highway 64 through Wednesday. If you live in an area that experiences flooding in heavy downpours, you should expect flooding on Wednesday. Even areas that don't typically deal with flooding may see some high waters by Wednesday afternoon.
Beryl's winds will not pose a big problem to our area. The storms winds will range from 20 mph inland to gusts near 40 mph on the coast. Beryl's potentially stronger gusts should stay offshore on the right side of Beryl's path. Winds will be primarily from the east-northeast bringing water level rises of 1 to 2+ feet along the coast as well as portions of the Sounds.
Tornadoes are unlikely with the storm, with the track staying just offshore. Still, an isolated tornado near the beaches can't be ruled out. Heavy surf will be likely along all beaches, along with a dangerous rip currents.
Beryl will quickly pull away from our area Wednesday night leaving much quieter weather for Thursday.
There have been no reports of major damage from Beryl, which soaked central and southern South Carolina during the early morning hours.
The storm knocked out power to tens of thousands of people as it made landfall Sunday night along the northeast coast of Florida. Beryl brought several inches of rain to parts of southern Georgia, which has been stuck in an extreme drought for a couple years now.

The trouble with 1-phenylethane-1,2-diyl, as the resourceful 26-year-old entrepreneur from Vermont sees it, is that, as no known microorganism can biodegrade it, it pollutes the oceans and clutters landfills -- making up around 30 per cent of US landfills alone, according to some estimates. In the 173 years since Eduard Simon first produced polystyrene, it has become a highly lucrative by-product of the oil industry, made using a liquid hydrocarbon derived from petroleum in a process that creates millions of tonnes a year. But Bayer has a plan to change all that.His plan involves replacing polystyrene with mushrooms. By combining fungus with agricultural waste to create packaging that's cheap, durable and biodegradable, Bayer hopes to disrupt an environmentally destructive industry valued globally at around $20 billion (£13 billion). It's an enormous ambition, certainly -- but his startup, Ecovative Design, has already made powerful friends. Honoured as a tech pioneer at the World Economic Forum in Davos, it has attracted millions in grant money from the US Environmental Protection Agency, the National Science Foundation and the US Department of Agriculture, plus private investment from the likes of 3M and RPI.Bayer is not a typical psilocybin enthusiast. With his patrician good looks and tall, lean build, he could easily pass for a professional tennis player. He greetsvisitors with a hearty handshake. Ecovative is housed in a commercial complex overlooking the dilapidated grounds of the local power authority in the town of Green Island, 16km from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute campus in upstate New York, where he studied and founded the business four years ago.It seems like a strange place for a startup, but it's appropriate: Ecovative has far more in common with its industrial-era neighbours -- the red-brick Honeywell factory down the road -- than it does with the high-growth new businesses of Silicon Valley. What Bayer is proposing is a manufacturing business -- a foam-packaging empire powered by mushroom spores.Bayer likes to call polystyrene "the toxic white stuff". Standing at the first stage of Ecovative's production line, he points out that every 0.02 cubic metres of polystyrene requires a litre and a half of petroleum to manufacture. "This is where a huge vat of oil would be," he says, grinning.The Ecovative process begins instead with agricultural waste. The three stainless-steel hoppers towering in front of Bayer contain cotton burrs, rice hulls and buckwheat hulls -- post-harvest chaff. The straw-coloured material is released on to a conveyer belt, which channels it through a steam cleaner to eliminate mould, bacteria and insects. The mixture is then impregnated with spores of mycelium, the thread-like vegetative part of fungus. Two women in hospital gowns and rubber gloves, heads shrouded in sterile caps, catch the bristly stew in plastic moulds. At this point, the moulds resemble the foam caps used to cushion computer servers in transit. Other versions mimic the cocoons used to safeguard bottles of wine or the corner braces of office furniture.They're then placed in steel racks similar to those found at a bakery. This is where the mycelium starts to work. "It excretes compounds into the agricultural waste -- that's how it breaks down cellulose," Bayer explains. "It pulls in the cellulose, digests it and turns it into a polymer. What we do is use the organism as glue; a living glue that grows into every nook and cranny."Over the next five days, as the mixture steeps, the mycelium will consume most of the organic material, or substrate, enveloping the leftovers in tiny filaments a fraction of the width of a human hair. When popped from the mould, the product looks like a chunk of white chocolate with almond flecks inside it. It's soft to the touch, like a mushroom, but exceptionally sturdy. By altering the substrate mixture, Gavin McIntyre -- the company's chief scientist and Bayer's business partner -- can adjust the strength and flexibility of the foam. More cotton burrs increase the thermal dynamic, more rice hulls makes it more fire-retardant. "You can hit it with a blowtorch," McIntyre says. "And it doesn't burn."Each cubic centimetre of EcoCradle foam contains some 4.8km of mycelium fibre, all created without a single unit of energy. "This organism is not a picky eater," says Bayer. "We can use almost any lignose-cellulosic waste as a substrate." That includes sawdust, hemp core, paper pulp, even lobster shells. This is the advantage of the company's product, EcoCradle: it does not require fossil fuels to manufacture and it's fully compostable. When it arrives on your doorstep, you simply throw it on the garden. Within 90 days, it's biodegraded. "If you look at a piece of Styrofoam [polystyrene]," says McIntyre, "it's derived from a resource that's been in the earth for 65 million years. If you look at a piece of cardboard, it comes from a tree that grew for seven or eight years before it could be sustainably harvested. We're taking waste and growing a fungus around it in five to seven days. From raw material to finished product," Bayer adds, "we're faster than anyone else in the world."

The support provided by the Jackson-Hope Fund is a source of inspiration and encouragement to the Institute's faculty and staff to develop as teachers and scholars who are able to stimulate and promote academic engagement among cadets.
To meet its goal of advancing academic excellence at the Virginia Military Institute, the Board of Overseers has worked with the Dean of the Faculty to develop funding priorities for initiatives that boldly advance academic achievement.
The Fund has been used to support curricular and pedagogical innovations within traditional academic disciplines, faculty development programming, professorships in emerging areas of study, and purchases of special equipment and computer resources.
Because of resources provided by the Jackson-Hope Fund, VMI's undergraduate research program grows stronger each year. The result is an atmosphere of inspired teaching and purposeful learning that is reflected in VMI's high national rankings among colleges and universities.
"The Jackson-Hope Fund makes it possible for VMI to pursue initiatives that are essential to the vitality and long-term success of our academic programs," said Brig. Gen. R. Wane Schneiter, Deputy Superintendent for Academics and Dean of the Faculty. "
With the help of Jackson-Hope, we have pursued key initiatives that make VMI a distinctive college, such as promoting undergraduate research across the curriculum, developing the academic study of leadership, and creating interdisciplinary minors in Science & Security and Writing. We also have used Jackson-Hope resources to recruit, retain and develop an outstanding faculty that is committed to undergraduate education. Without Jackson-Hope, our efforts in these areas would be greatly hindered".
The Jackson-Hope Fund is making a great difference at the Institute, especially in the following areas:

Zeno just DRILLED us. Good play by Haluska.

Isu and texas tech postgame thread. Please, no beating up on our coaches and players.
Good to see CB have a decent game.
Glad we won't have to see Martin Zeno again. Seems like he's been on their team forever.
Can't tell by the final score, but it was a pretty good basketball game. We had too many unnecessary fouls, but it's really nice to see guys like Haluska keep playing well.
Another frustrating game on the road. Wesley Johnson looked lost today, which is very odd for him. Sean's offense really kept up alive in this game during some rough patches in the second half. Would've like to have seen Jiri get more low post touches in the second half as well.

I will be so glad to never see Zeno, Roby, and Maric again.
Our offense looked a lot better than it usually does, mainly due to Sean and Petey.
What happened to Wes?
Our D was suspect at times today.
Oh well, we needed this game for any post season hope (not that there was much hope before). I still see us winning 1 game with the games we have left (maybe 2). Still, another disappointing day as I think we have better overall talent than tech.
Texas Tech is a good team. I'm not happy about the finish, but I thought that was a great effort by our guys today. I certainly didn't expect the win when it's on the road. Didn't exactly look like a terrifying crowd... just a breakdown at the end that finished us off. We would have won this one if it were played at Hilton.
Go Sssssssssyclones!
Haluska played well. Petey did too but those fouls he had to put their guard on the line really hurt us. Took a lot of momentum away. I'm glad Haluska has another year.
Good to see CB play better. Good to see Haluska play well.
Bad to see that our big don't seem to be able to play help D on the drive.
If Wes and RC put up avg. offensive numbers for them we win this game. CB was slightly better, but he still made a ton of mistakes. SH was very solid...as was BP, JH.
Wesley has played poorly ever since he injured his foot again. It'd be really nice if played well the remainder of the schedule.
Haluska needs to start........ he has earned a starting position

Ummmmm...we'll see Roby again very soon and we may see the others in the B12 tournament.

Home Sales Rise in Iowa and Plymouth County
(Le Mars) -- A recent report shows an increase in the number of homes being sold in Iowa, as well as the average value of homes has increased. The average sale price for a home in 2012 was $134,000 which equates to an 11.6 percent increase over the previous year. Iowa saw 34,860 homes sold in 2012 compared to 31,000 the year before. Shane Sitzmann, a Le Mars realtor and also chairman of the Plymouth County Multiple Listings Association, an organization that comprises of about 40 members of brokers and agents, says similar trends were noted in Plymouth County.
Listen to
Sitzmann contributes the lower interest rates as a main factor in the increase of home sales.
Listen to
Sitzmann says the increase in local employment opportunities has definitely helped the local housing picture. He says the local housing market acts much like a dominoes.
Listen to
The real estate agent says the market is seeing an artificial increase due to the shortage of homes currently available.
Democrats Want To Gage How Much Public Support For Education
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Democratic lawmakers say they want to determine a general level of state support for schools before they take up Gov. Terry Branstad's education reform plan.
That could lead to a confrontation with the governor because Branstad maintains he won't discuss that funding until he gets approval for his plan to boost starting teacher salaries and make
other reforms.
On Thursday, Senate Democrats proposed a measure that would increase state aid to school district by 4 percent, or $134 million, for the school year starting in September.
Midwest Bankers Survey Suggests Continued Growth
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A new survey of rural bankers suggests that growth in farmland prices, cash rents and farm equipment sales remain strong despite the continuing threat of drought in some
Midwestern and northern Plains states.
A report on the Rural Mainstreet Index released Thursday says the index hit 55.6 in January, down from 60.6 in December. It is the index's fourth straight month above growth neutral.
Creighton University economist Ernie Goss says the region's rural economy is still expanding at a moderate pace and that farm communities "appear to have shed the negative impacts of the 2012
The index ranges from 0 to 100, with 50 representing growth neutral. It's based on a survey of rural bankers in Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North
Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.

FAIRFAX, Va. (WUSA) -- A Fairfax, Va. man has pleaded guilty to leading a methylone or "bath salts" trafficking ring. The ring purchased methylone from China and distributed it in Northern Virginia.
Nineteen-year-old Matthew Scott Baker pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute methylone and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense on Wednesday. He could face up to 20 years in prison for the drug charge and at least 5 years on the fire arm charge.
Baker is scheduled to be sentenced on January 25 of next year.
Baker admitted in his plea agreement that he ordered multi-kilogram amounts of the drug from a Chinese source, who he then introduced to a co-conspirator. The methylone was shipped to Baker's post office box from the summer of 2011 to May 2012. then he would give them to his co-conspirators to sell to people in northern Virginia.
Baker also sold methylone on several occasions to an undercover officer during the winter and spring of 2012 until he was arrested in May.
Baker told law enforcement agents that he had obtained approximately 20 shipments of methylone totaling approximately 10 to 15 kilograms over the course of the conspiracy. As part of his plea agreement, Baker agreed to forfeit a money judgment in the amount of $400,000, representing proceeds from the sale of methylone. Baker also admitted that he tried to buy a Glock pistol from the same undercover officer to whom he was selling methylone.
Seven other co-defendants have also pled guilty to conspiring to distribute methylone: Clougherty, Skander Bouchair, Kyle Griswold, Shelby Neal, Sajad Safdari, Patrick Un, and Ethan Walker.

Using the law of "like cures like," Keyano Homeopathic Massage Oil features 8 different remedies at a 30x strength. Each remedy helps relieve discomfort and pain from various causes.
Keyano Homeopathic Symmetry massage is a technique that utilizes three therapeutic healing arts combined to give you the most efficacious method of pain management available.
The first is the use of homeopathic massage oil. The term Homeopathy comes from the Greek homois (similar) and pathos (suffering or sickness). The fundamental law upon which homeopathy is based is the Law of Similars, or Like cures Like. The law of similars states that a remedy can cure a disease if it produces in a healthy person symptoms similar to those of the disease. The homeopathic massage oil contains eight different remedies at a 30x strength. Each of the remedies helps relieve discomfort from pain stemming from various causes. There is no other massage oil in existence with this level of healing power. Homeopathy is a safe and effective means of stimulating the body's own healing response, gently and naturally. They gradually improve health and well being of an individual mentally, emotionally and physically. Use caution when laundering linens that have been exposed to oils. Oil products are potentially combustible when exposed to heat in the dryer. Consult dryer manufacturer's guidelines for drying linens that have been exposed to oils. Not to be used during pregnancy.

the FunnyBone in Newport, KY is excited to welcome comedian Pablo Francisco. Pablo is one of the most popular touring comedians worldwide. The premiere of his highly anticipated one hour comedy special "They Put It Out There" made its debut on Comedy Central. His newest special was taped at the Margaret A. Webb Theater in Santa Ana, CA. and follows the enormous success of Pablo's last stand-up special, "Ouch!" which continues to stay on the networks most requested list. The DVD "They Put It Out There" made its nationwide release shortly after its TV air date. Pablo once again hits his mark, weaving together his one of a kind arsenal of characters, spontaneous outbursts, spot on impressions and clever insights to create a stand-up show that more resembles an hour-long comedic jazz riff. "They Put It Out There" is an entertaining and off-the-wall performance that delivers the laughs and points out the hilarious absurdities in an illogical, pop-culture obsessed world.
Pablo recently returned from his third tour of Australia with stops in five cities and sold out shows in Melbourne and Sydney. Previous to that, Francisco had his second visit to the South African Comedy Festival. Francisco's amazing global appeal catapulted him to rock star status selling out the world renowned Milky Way in Amsterdam. His phenomenal performance at the Troxy in London, sold over 26,000 tickets during his third 16 city tour of Sweden. Francisco's international profile continues to soar as his anxious European fans await his return for yet another multi-country tour slated for next year.
Those who experience Pablo's show for the first time find themselves captivated by his hilarious dead on impressions. Gene Lavanchy of FOX – TV Boston calls Pablo "the most talented comedian in the business today". His unbelievable ability to physically morph himself into movie stars, singers, friends, family, and a multitude of nationalities gives Pablo's show a universal charm. His drop-dead funny spoofing often leaves his audiences struggling to catch their breath which is the driving force behind his huge success.
Pablo's astounding popularity is not limited to the stage. His outrageously funny material and pervasive internet presence has captivated over 10 million YouTube viewers around the world and placed his MySpace comedy page in the Top 3 with 1 million plus video views. Francisco's worldwide fan base continues to grow with over 111,655 Facebook fans and 13,893 Twitter followers to date.
In addition to his Comedy Central specials & DVD's "They Put It Out There", "Ouch" & "Bit and Pieces", Pablo has appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", Comedy Central's "The Show Biz Show w/ David Spade" and "Mind of Mencia". He has also been a cast member on the Fox Network's sketch comedy show "Mad TV," TBS's "Frank TV," and has appeared on Howard Stern's radio show.

Item # AAS0154
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Tights & Bib Tights in stock than that.View Similar Products
Assos LL.bonKa_s5 Bib Tights $0.00
Assos' LL.bonKa_s5 Bib Tights are similar to its LL.bonKa_s5 Tights, with anatomic shaping of the Roubaix and Roubaix Q fabric panels, but they increase the cold-weather comfort by adding Stratagone wind/waterproof material to exposed frontal portions of your legs. The total garment weight is hardly more than the LL.607 version, but the performance effect in winter's worst conditions is well worth the difference.
Assos gives the S5 Bib Tights the FI.Mille_S5 Chamois. It's curved to perfectly fit your body, and it has a built-in channel in the pad to reduce genital pressure. In addition, it has the same softness and heat-ventilation dimples of the FI.13 chamois. Assos gives it the 'Long Distance' designation as it has more surface area than the FI.13, it stretches less than the FI.13, and it has a stabilizer built into the chamois, causing it to move less during your pedal stroke. One aspect of the FI. Mille chamois that we like is that the front portion is cut high enough to prevent "podium bulge" for those moments you'll be spending off the bike in the cafe or general store.
You'll find the LL.bonKa_s5 Bib Tights use windproof material down the front of the thigh and over the knee. Another panel is strategically located at the top of the crotch to shield you from icy cold winds. Aside from the four-way stretch wind/waterproof fabric, they use a combination of super soft Roubaix and Roubaix Q fabric. Roubaix is a thicker-than-average Lycra with a wonderful microfleece interior. It provides the kind of warm fuzzy feel that can be the difference between soldiering on or turning back for home when the weather is cold and bleak.
The panels that line the seat area and inner leg are Roubaix fabric. The outer portion of the legs and the back of the knee use Roubaix Q, a fabric that starts life as Roubaix. Then a waffle pattern is cut into the microfleece interior of the fabric. The reduction in material doesn't decrease the warmth; however, it does decrease the weight and bulk in comparison to standard Roubaix. This is especially important at the knee. The lighter Roubaix Q material won't bunch and chafe at the back of the knee when you pedal.
The Assos LL.bonKa_s5 Bib Tights are Black and come in six sizes from Small to TIR. The bib uppers have a large mesh insert in the back for maximum ventilation and stretch. As is often the case with Assos, a few small details make the difference; they have foot stirrups to hold the legs in place throughout your ride, and an 18cm zipper is used in the front to facilitate natural breaks. The long zipper is integral into the narrow design of the front portion of the bibs. The reason -- to eliminate any potential for nipple rub on those cold, windy days that eventually lead to chafing. In addition, the narrower origin for the bib straps allows for a more even distribution of pressure over the shoulders, especially when wearing a few layers.

Great product
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: XLarge
Very warm and fits like a second skin, great sale price to.
Yeah, they are that good.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I bought these to be worn while I am riding my fat bike so keep this in mind when you factor in the wind chill equation.
You do not feel these bibs on you while you ride—you have them on but they are not there. They fit great, work great and are a bit tougher than I thought. I have worn mine in temps between 0°-35°—when it gets lower than 10° I use a thin lycra knee warmer and a longer wool sock to stay warm. I tend to have good circulation so I stay warmer than most people.
I have taken one or two bad spills on these bibs and they held up fine when sliding on my back side down an icy hill without a blemish.
Best ever winter tights?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have a pair of older 607's that were "warm enough" down to temps around 28-30 degrees F. These tights are quite a bit warmer. Extra insulation covers the bladder area and the fit is sublime while riding, as with all Assos kit. I use these tights down to 20 degrees F with howling winds and noticed at most a slight chill at the end of a 2 hour ride. Assos makes an even warmer tight that incorporates a vest but I can't see how my legs would be any warmer. The fabric is windproof in the right places and breathable where it needs to be. They were much lighter than I expected. Going on my second season with them and have no complaints. Fit is exactly per the Assos sizing guide as far as I can tell (I am 66.5 inches and wear medium tights, but could probably go with a small as well when in summer race shape). Every single piece of Assos gear I have bought starts off with a conversation about it being too expensive, but I am never disappointed. They replaced a pair of worn out PI Amfib tights and there is no comparison. If I hand wash after a ride and let drip dry, they are ready to go the next morning.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Like everything else Assos, these are remarkably well engineered.
Rode them all Winter and cannot believe I was concerned about purchasing them in the first place. There is nothing that ruins winter more than being cold all the time.
If you are a serious cyclist, and are serious about training outside over the winter, get these. There are warmer models, but if you are active these will be warm enough - any warmer and you will probably be a pool of sweat. I used them from -10 C (14 F) to +10 (50F) (wouldn't go warmer) in blowing wind, snow flurries and ice rain. Warm in the winter - what a concept!
They wash well and dry quickly - good enough for daily rides.

The generous $50 million naming gift from Meyer and Renee Luskin provides the resources to begin to redefine the future of the School, the future of the field of public affairs, and the future for how public universities respond to society's greatest problems.
This comprehensive planning project focuses on identifying the world's most pressing problems, developing new opportunities for UCLA Luskin to address them, and creating the knowledge base, tools, and initiatives that are required for the School to play a leadership role for the next half century.
The Luskins' investment in our School allows us to rethink everything; it is also an act of faith in the City of Los Angeles as a living laboratory from which our students, faculty and graduates can test new ideas, develop new models, and implement novel strategies and interventions to meet the challenges of the future. The outcome of our planning will define the UCLA Luskin School's critical advantage.
We invite you to follow our progress, offer your perspectives, and engage with us in this exciting journey of new ideas and new practices at a time of great change in our School, city, nation and the world.

ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA9) -- It is a disorder that is widely misunderstood, and sometimes mistaken for other conditions.
Angelman syndrome is caused by a spontaneous genetic defect that doesn't run in families. Many kids who have the neuro-genetic disorder were initially misdiagnosed.
At the age of 18 months, Arlington twins Anika and Sophia Bjorklund were diagnosed with cerebral palsy. They started therapy and were fully walking by the time they were two-and-a-half years of age.
But at that point, their parents and doctors noticed something still seemed awry.
Fransesca Bjorklund, Anika and Sophia's mother says, "We started to realize that they weren't progressing quite like the other cerebral palsy children."
The twins also had trouble sleeping and suffered from seizures.
"The doctors and I talked about doing genetic testing at that point," adds Bjorklund.
Both of the girls were finally diagnosed with Angelman syndrome. It is a neuro-genetic disorder that has some of the characteristics of cerebral palsy, and the developmental delays of autism. That also why it is commonly misdiagnosed.
David Mittermaier, President of Capital ABA says, "Cerebral palsy often leads to a general life-long struggle with general gross motor skills. Whereas Angelman starts out with gross motor skill defict and then leads to more vocal and communication deficits."
Mittermaier adds that Angelman syndrome is often misunderstood, even in the medical community. One tell-tale characteristic that can help differentiate the syndrome from others: children with Angelman typically have happy, excitable demeanors with frequent smiles or outbursts of laughter.
Once properly identified, targeted therapies like Applied Behavorial Analysis, or ABA, can help a child with developmental delays and speech impairments.
"The most important part is to narrow the intervention focus into the area of deficit that you can attack. Attack it early, attack it strong, and wait for the progress to come," adds Mittermaier.
With the right diagnosis for her twins, Fransesca is seeing a lot of progress as a result of the ABA therapy. The girls also get medication to help them sleep at night and control their seizuress.
Bjorklund says, "It's really helped them increase their attention span and we've also seen progression in terms of their ability to learn new skills."
Most children are properly diagnosed 2 or 3 years late, which experts say is a lot of lost time for progression through therapy.
So far this year, over 1 million dollars have been raised by the Angelman Syndrome Foundation. A fundraising walk was held in Columbia, Md. in May. It was one of 28 different fundraising events nationwide.
