Cyclones Finish Sixth at Desert Intercollegiate
PALM DESERT, Calif.- The Iowa State men's golf team finished sixth in the 23-team Desert Intercollegiate this weekend. The Cyclones posted rounds of 291-281-287 for an 859 total.
Oregon took home the team title at 837 (276-279-282=837). The medalist portion of the event was won by TCU's Julien Brun, who turned in rounds of 72-66-65 (203).
All-American Scott Fernandez picked up yet another top-10 finish to pace the Cyclones. The junior reeled off three consecutive rounds of sub-par golf (71-70-71=212) to tie for 10th. The top-10 for Fernandez is the 17th of his career and his third on the season. Fernandez is now just one top-10 shy of tying Jason Knutzon for most career top-10s in school history.
Freshman Nick Voke had the low score of the day for the Cyclones, firing a final-round 69 (76-68-69=213), which lifted him into a tie for 19th individually. In his last two rounds, Voke was seven under par.
Junior Sam Daley's play aided the Cyclones as well. He tied for 42nd after recording rounds of 72-72-73 for a three-day total of 217.
The team will tee it up next at the Big Four Match on Mar. 1 in Phoenix, Ariz.

Video: Interviews over, attorneys to pick Coleman jurors
Video: Attorneys to pick Chris Coleman jurors
Pinckneyville, IL (KSDK) - The lawyers in the Chris Coleman murder trial agreed on a jury.
The jury will consist of 10 women and two men. There will also be four male alternate jurors. All the members of the jury are caucasian.
The final jurors were selected from a pool of about 50 people.
The judge thanked them for their participation during an afternoon meeting Tuesday. He also reminded them that they cannot speak to anyone about the case. The group will be sworn-in on Monday.
The judge said he will provide the jurors will information about the Illinois death penalty laws and about the death penalty going away in June.
Before the final jurors were selected, the defense expressed concern because it said 35 to 46 of the jurors in the pool had heard about the Coleman case. They pushed again for a change of venue, but the judge denied it.
Lawyers in the case finished interviewing potential jurors on Monday. The process started last Tuesday.
Chris Coleman's parents made what could be their last visit to the Perry County Jail Monday night.
Their son is behind bars, accused of murdering his wife and two sons in their Columbia, Illinois home in May of 2009.
Coleman is in Perry County while his attorneys and prosecutors try to find a fair and impartial jury about an hour from where the high profile case will be tried. As they have for more than a week, attorneys questioned potential jurors Monday about their knowledge of the case, and their opinions on the death penalty.
One woman told attorneys, "I think he's guilty...I'm pretty opinionated about this."
Reporters were also on the record Monday. Judge Milton Wharton issued a gag order saying no member of the media or private citizen can speak to Coleman while he walks to and from the courthouse. The judge says Coleman's right to a fair trial out-weighs First Amendment rights and he's concerned a potential juror could over hear any questions or comments.
NewsChannel 5's Ryan Dean and Casey Nolen have been covering the jury selection process and will cover the trial. Follow their updates on Twitter @ksdknews.

Fields of Study
Our Philosophy &
We provide broad, interdisciplinary training with Carnegie Mellon's engineering, public policy, human-computer interaction, social and decision sciences, and psychology departments.
In the short history of organizational research, one important point of view is often called the "Carnegie School". We are that "Carnegie School."
Groundbreaking Research
In 1958, James March and Herbert Simon (who later won the 1978 Nobel Prize in Economics for his work on decision-making) published Organizations, a book that fundamentally influenced how everyone thinks about organizations and established the foundation for the Carnegie School. The history of organizational research at Carnegie Mellon is one of path-breaking, highly influential, interdisciplinary research, and the PhD Program in Organizational Behavior and Theory (OBT) at Tepper continues in this tradition.
Interdisciplinary Approach
A variety of social science disciplines and topic areas are relevant to the study of human behavior in organizational settings. A distinguishing feature of Tepper's OBT PhD Program is the broad interdisciplinary training it provides. Cross-registration in courses, access to faculty, and participation in colloquia are encouraged by departments such as Engineering and Public Policy, Human-Computer Interaction studies, Social and Decision Sciences, and the Psychology departments at both CMU and the University of Pittsburgh.
Class Size
A small number of students are accepted into the group each year, with a total of about 10 OBT doctoral students in residence. Student-faculty relationships are close, both professionally and socially. This permits the tailoring of the program of study to fit the background and career goals of the individual. Our program emphasizes preparation for careers in scholarly research, and graduates of the Program usually pursue careers in academic or research institutions.
The field is often broken down into two broad subareas: micro and macro. The OBT group has strengths in topics that span both subareas.
Groups & Teams
The OBT group in the Tepper School houses three scholars squarely in the areas of groups and teams (Argote, Weingart, Woolley) and others whose work is directly relevant (Aven, Chow, Cohen). The Tepper School and Carnegie Mellon University more broadly host several other faculty who work in this area (e.g., Carley, Herbsleb, Kiesler, Krackhardt, and Kraut). We regularly graduate students who research the topic of groups and teams.
Faculty & Research Interests
Organizational Learning
The OBT group in the Tepper School hosts three scholars who study group and organizational learning (Argote, Aven, Woolley). Scholars in Information Systems (Mukhopadhyay, Singh) and Economics (Epple, Kryukov) at Tepper as well as researchers at Heinz (Krishnan) Engineering (Fuchs) and Computer Science (Carley, Dabbish, Herbsleb, Kraut) at Carnegie Mellon University also conduct research on learning. Current research on organizational learning builds on Cyert and March's book, A Behavioral Theory of the Firm. Their book, which is one of the most influential management books of all time, advanced the "Carnegie School" and developed the importance of organizational learning in firms.
Ethics & Justice
The OBT group in the Tepper School has three members with expertise in the areas of ethics and justice (Aven, Chow, Cohen). Complementing the OBT group's focus on ethics and justice, the Tepper School recently hired business ethics scholar Tae Wan Kim for a position focused on business ethics. Kim's recent hire reflects the growing interest in the fields of ethics and justice, and how critically important these topics are for top-tier institutions like the Tepper School.
Intersection of Business & Technology
Endemic to Tepper's focus on the intersection of business and technology are critical behavioral issues. Relevant faculty research at this intersection involves responses to rapid change, coordination of work distributed across time and place and continual organizational learning. The OBT area's research centers focus on critical aspects of the business technology-interface.

When should I seek medical care for a heart murmur?
A heart murmur generally does not cause any symptoms. It is the underlying heart function issues that often cause patients to seek medical help.
Chest pain and shortness of breath should always be taken seriously and not ignored. Medical help should be accessed immediately if a person has heart or lung concerns.
How is a heart murmur diagnosed?
A heart murmur is usually diagnosed during a physical examination by the health care practitioner while he or she listens to heart sounds with a stethoscope.
Patient history
Evaluation of the heart begins with questions relating to heart function. In an adult, some questions may include asking about chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath with exertion or at rest, and swelling of the legs. In an infant, the symptoms may include poor sucking or eating, poor weight gain and growth, or episodes of cyanosis (turning blue).
Physical examination
Physical examination includes assessing skin color, feeling and assessing pulses, evaluating the legs looking for swelling and edema, and listening to the lungs for signs of fluid buildup.
Heart evaluation includes assessing the rate and rhythm of the heart. Is it too fast, too slow, regular, or irregular? The front of the chest can be palpated; a hand is placed on the area overlying the heart trying to feel for a vibration (thrill) that can occur with an especially significant heart murmur.
Listening to the heart with the stethoscope begins with assessing basic first and second heart sounds, S1 and S2, which sound like "lub-dub." Potential extra heart sounds are referred to as S3 and S4. Should a heart murmur be heard, the health care practitioner will try to determine whether the sound is coming from an abnormal valve or a defect in the atrial or ventricular septum. The murmur is described whether it is heard in systole (when the heart is pumping) or diastole (when the heart is filling). The location on the chest and where the sound radiates is important in determining where the murmur originates. The intensity of the murmur is usually graded on a 6 point scale as follows:
- 1/6 faintly heard
- 2/6 easily heard but soft
- 3/6 easily heard but loud
Murmurs graded 4, 5, and 6 have an associated vibration (thrill) felt when the chest wall is palpated:
- 4/6 loud murmur
- 5/6 loud murmur that can be heard with only part of the stethoscope touching the chest
- 6/6 loud murmur that can be heard with the stethoscope off the chest
Many murmurs are diagnosed as normal (physiologic) based upon physical examination and require no further evaluation.
Initial testing may include an electrocardiogram (EKG) which can help evaluate the heart rate and rhythm, electrical conduction within the heart, and whether hypertrophy or excess heart muscle has developed. A chest X-ray may help evaluate heart size and shape and may find excess fluid in the lungs due to abnormal heart function.
If further testing is required, often an echocardiogram (ultrasound) examination of the heart is helpful in visualizing the structures and functions of the heart. The echocardiogram can help to determine the specific diagnosis when a heart murmur is present. A cardiac catheterization is an invasive test whereby dye is injected directly into the blood passing through the heart structures to help evaluate their status.

Court to Consider If the Law Should Become Colorblind
Justices to mull if racial equality protections are still relevant
April 1, 2013
EDITOR'S NOTE — "America at the Tipping Point: The Changing Face of a Nation" is an occasional series examining the cultural mosaic of the U.S. and its historic shift to a majority-minority nation....
Civil Rights leaders want equal RESULTS, not equal OPPORTUNITIES.
The ONLY way to accomplish that is to REDISTRIBUTE the wealth by force.

Affimative action rules no longer have any constructive place in this democratic society. Racial equality is not about denying people opportunities based on their race, that would be the opposite of racial equality. And yet for decades and currently we do deny people jobs, promotions, education and opportunity based on their race. Affirmative action is racial inequality and is not necessary. The dialogue about affirmative action seems always about blacks, but young black people can compete with anyone today. Access to a degree and employment is more than equal now and that means the scale has tipped and we should no longer be interested in denying equality to people based on race. AA was designed to break down racism, to maintain it now promotes racism. Time to move on.

PHOENIX (AP) — A woman driving with a small child in her car crashed through a gate at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and drove on the runway, Phoenix police said Friday.
The woman rammed the airport gate around 10 p.m. Thursday and started crossing the runway, police spokesman Sgt. Trent Crump said. Officers forced the car to stop after a few minutes and detained the driver.
The incident was the latest involving vehicles crashing through the airport's gates or fences and getting onto its runways. Sky Harbor spent $10 million to upgrade its perimeter security and access gates after a man being chased by police in 2005 crashed a stolen pickup through a gate and drove onto the runways, passing several jets on a taxiway. In 2003, two teens in a stolen car crashed through a perimeter fence and drove onto the airfield. Both incidents caused brief closure of aircraft operations.
The driver and the child in Thursday's mishap were not injured, Crump said. The woman may have been impaired, but he did not elaborate.
Sky Harbor spokeswoman Deborah Ostreicher said an airport operations worker was testing the gate and at it was closing the small sedan crashed through. The worker "instantly" notified police and the control tower, which ordered a halt to air traffic operations.
As the car made it onto a runway Phoenix police officers used their vehicles to spin the car around and stop it.
Ostreicher said no aircraft were nearby at the time and no passengers were in immediate danger. Airport operations were stopped for about 15 minutes.
Similar examples have occurred at airports around the country.
A man crashed his SUV through a locked gate at Philadelphia International Airport on March 1 and drove down a runway at speeds of more than 100 mph as a plane was fast approaching him from behind. The incident caused a major disruption, forcing air traffic controllers to put dozens of flights into holding patterns and delaying the departures of dozens more. He was sentenced to 16 months in prison.
In Grand Junction, Colo., a driver smashed through a fence while under the influence of alcohol in 2008 before getting stuck atop electrical equipment.
Earlier this year, a man swam ashore at New York's JFK Airport after his personal watercraft ran out of gas and climbed a security fence, making his way onto the airport. Officials immediately beefed up security after the Aug. 13 incident.

Corneal dystrophies are relatively rare eye conditions and most tend to occur in the first few decades of life. The exception is Fuchs' Dystrophy, which appears much later.
Most corneal dystrophies run in families and if a corneal dystrophy is discovered in one family member, then all other adult family members should be examined. While they can lead to serious sight loss, they only account for roughly 0.5 per cent (half of one percent) of all those registered as blind and partially sighted.
There are several different corneal dystrophies and this page will describe the eight most common types.
The cornea is the clear outer layer covering the front of the eye. Normally it is smooth and as transparent as glass but it is also very strong. It helps the eye in two ways:
Firstly it acts as a barrier between the eye and the outside world and helps to protect the eye from injury and infection. The cornea is extremely sensitive and can detect the presence of even the smallest piece of dirt or fluff.
And secondly, it is the eye's outermost lens, controlling and focusing the entry of light into the eye. The cornea bends the incoming light onto the lens. The lens further focuses the light onto the retina at the back of the eye, which converts the light into images which are then sent to the brain.
Therefore, the cornea is vital for maintaining both the health of the eye and good, clear vision. It is normally able to cope well with minor injuries.
The cornea is unusual in that it has no blood vessels to provide its nourishment and oxygen. Instead, it receives its nourishment from the tears and the fluid (the aqueous humour) filling the space behind it. The cornea must remain completely transparent if it is to carry out its role as the eye's outermost lens and the presence of even the smallest imperfection can interfere with this process.
The cornea consists of five distinct layers, each of which plays an important role.
The cornea's outermost layer. It acts as a barrier to protect the rest of the cornea from foreign bodies and infections. It is filled with tiny nerve endings which means the cornea is very sensitive when touched. It also provides an extremely smooth surface, which is essential for good vision.
Lying directly beneath the epithelium, this is a thin, transparent sheet of tissue. If damaged, Bowman's layer can form a scar when it heals.
The stroma accounts for roughly 90 per cent of the cornea's thickness. It consists mainly of water (75 per cent) and fibres of a material called collagen, which is very tough and elastic. The regular size and arrangement of the collagen in this layer gives the cornea its strength and elasticity, and ensures it remains transparent.
Descemet's Membrane (pronounced Dess-e-mays), is a thin, strong layer of tissue which acts as another protective barrier.
This is the innermost layer of the cornea and is extremely thin. It is vital to the transparency of the cornea because it acts as a pump and maintains the exact level of water in the stroma. Without this pump, the cornea would swell with water and would become hazy. Damage to this layer cannot be repaired and so can, therefore, cause swelling of the cornea which may lead to serious sight loss (please see section on Fuchs' Endothelial Dystrophy below).
Corneal dystrophies are rare conditions in which the cornea is altered without the presence of any inflammation, infection or other eye disease. The clearness (transparency) of the cornea is affected and vision may or may not be disturbed. Corneal dystrophies tend to run in families. They have been described in many different ways but because each dystrophy will start in a particular layer of the cornea, they are classified as epithelial dystrophies, stromal dystrophies or endothelial dystrophies.
A common symptom of some corneal dystrophies is a 'foreign body' sensation caused by breakdown of the surface epithelial layer. This is a similar feeling to when an eyelash or a piece of dirt gets into the eye, but in some cases can be a lot more severe. The cause is actually due to changes in the outermost epithelial layer, which expose the sensitive nerve endings. With treatment, this layer can heal quickly.
There are two methods by which corneal dystrophies can be inherited. The first is called 'autosomal dominant' and the second 'autosomal recessive'.
The 'dominant' method means that one of the parents actually has the condition. Each time that parent has a child, there is a 50 per cent (one in two) chance of the child having the condition as well.
The 'recessive' method is slightly more complicated. Neither of the parents actually has the condition themselves but they will both be 'carriers' of the condition. If two 'carriers' have children, there is a 25 per cent (one in four) chance that each child will have the condition.
In either case, both men and women can be affected.
There are three main epithelial dystrophies. They are called epithelial dystrophies because they affect the epithelial layer of the cornea.
This is a very rare condition, which tends to affect both eyes equally and whose cause is unknown. It is inherited by the 'dominant' method and may become apparent as early as the first year of life. Symptoms may not occur until early adulthood or middle age. The main symptom will be an occasional 'foreign body' sensation and any treatment will be directed at relieving this. Most people retain good vision.
This is the most common epithelial dystrophy and is inherited by the 'dominant' method. Most people with this condition have no symptoms, but painful 'foreign body' sensations and temporary blurring of the vision can occur after the age of 30 years. Treatment is usually directed at relieving the 'foreign body' sensation and may include temporary eye patching while using antibiotic eye drops and the use of an eye ointment at night to maintain a lubricating layer between the eyelid and the cornea during sleep. In certain cases a 'bandage' soft contact lens is used. The contact lens serves to protect the cornea, allowing it to heal, and may be worn for up to two months or more. The long-term prospects for someone with this condition are good. This dystrophy used to be called map dot fingerprint dystrophy or Cogan's dystrophy.
This condition affects both eyes equally and tends to be located centrally in the cornea. It is inherited by the 'dominant' method and first appears in childhood. The symptoms appear fairly early on and include light sensitivity and 'foreign body' sensations. Vision is affected because the surface of the cornea becomes hazy and irregular. Advanced cases may require a corneal transplant, but the dystrophy can recur quickly, even if the graft is successful. For this reason, the graft may be delayed until it is absolutely necessary.
This is inherited by the 'dominant' method and usually occurs before the age of 20 years. Early on the vision is not affected but grey-ish dots can be seen through a microscope. Slowly the dots become larger, and more appear. They gradually become visible to the naked eye. Light sensitivity and 'foreign body' sensation may be a problem. Vision is not usually severely affected under the age of 50 years. If there is serious sight loss, a corneal transplant may be required. However, the dystrophy may recur within five years of the transplant being carried out.
This dystrophy is inherited by the 'recessive' method, which means that it may be more severe than other types of dystrophy. It may appear before the age of 20 years. Irregular, cloudy areas appear in both corneas which gradually merge together. Very occasionally, someone with this type of dystrophy may become light sensitive and need to wear tinted glasses. Often by the age of 20 to 30 years there will be such serious sight loss that a corneal transplant will be required. A transplant will have a favourable outcome although it is possible that the dystrophy will recur in the donor cornea. If this does happen it can take, on average, 20 years.
This dystrophy usually begins before the age of 20 years, and is inherited by the 'dominant' method. Early symptoms tend to be a 'foreign body' sensation and a slight deterioration in vision. Under a microscope, very fine, overlapping lines will be seen in the cornea. As the dystrophy progresses, these lines become thicker and may make the cornea become hazy. Treatment for this type of dystrophy is aimed at relieving the 'foreign body' sensation, and, if there is serious sight loss, a corneal graft is performed. The results of the graft are generally good, but it is possible that the dystrophy may recur in the donor cornea within five to 10 years
Fuchs' Dystrophy is more common in women than in men. Most affected individuals have no family history and in these, the disorder is unlikely to have been inherited. It usually begins after the age of 40 years, at which stage there are no symptoms. With time there is a painless deterioration of vision and glare becomes a problem. Vision will be worse first thing in the morning. The next stage will involve some painful episodes due to tiny blisters on the cornea, which will gradually disappear as the vision gets worse. Finally, there will be serious loss of vision, and a corneal transplant will be performed at an appropriate time. Corneal grafts are extremely successful in treating Fuchs' Dystrophy, since this type of dystrophy does not recur in the transplant. Sometimes cataracts will be removed at the same time as the corneal transplant.
Find out more about the condition on our Fuch's Dystrophy page.
The name literally means "conical or cone-shaped cornea" and rarely appears until puberty or older. In keratoconus the cornea becomes stretched and thins at its centre, and the thinned part of the cornea bulges making the vision more shortsighted and irregular. As a result the vision is distorted. The stretching of the cornea tends to progress but the rate varies. Both eyes are affected but the condition may not be at the same stage in both eyes. The majority of people with keratonconus have no family history of the condition and are very unlikely to have affected children.
Treatment usually begins with the use of rigid contact lenses, although soft contact lenses or spectacles may still be suitable in the early stages. The rigid contact lenses help to provide the best possible vision but they do not affect the rate of progression of the condition. As the condition progresses good vision may be difficult to maintain and contact lens tolerance may vary.
A condition called 'hydrops' may also occur. This may result in a sudden drop in vision and is due to a break in Descemet's membrane allowing fluid to leak into the stroma of the cornea. This can be uncomfortable and cause the eye to water. It may also lead to scarring.
In at least 20 per cent of people with keratoconus, the cornea may become extremely steep, thin and irregular, or the vision can no longer be improved sufficiently with contact lenses. At this stage the cornea may need to be replaced surgically with a corneal transplant. Over 90 per cent of corneal transplants done for keratoconus continue to allow good vision at five years post-transplant.

Excellent cosmetic companies know that in order for a beautiful makeup finish to be achieved, there are some required steps to be taken at the outset of the manufacturing process. Colorescience Pro seems to get this concept. The Colorescience Blush category within the Colorescience brand is a perfect example of this theory.
In order for a flawless make-up (and blush color) finish, Colorescience Pro has developed their Colorescience Blush line with these key components of success. They have formulated quality products that are easy to apply in combination with rich quality color and ingredients. In other words, Colorescience Blush application (including the application apparatus and how it's packaged) along with the brand's good-for-the-skin minerals in rich natural colors is where the world of beauty meets up with science, professional beauty, art and nature. This is what makes Colorescience Blush category a unique cosmetic blusher line.
Blush should be applied in a way that achieves a natural flushed type tone to the cheeks. A good visual may be to picture cheeks that have good circulation or color, whether it is from exercise, a bit of sunshine, or simply a healthy, happy body or even a giddy romantic attitude. Typically natural pink or rouge colored cheeks don't have a beginning or an end which is why Colorescience Pro feels it's crucial to apply your blusher so that appears virtually seamless, meaning no beginning and/or no end. Therefore the brand has developed the Colorescience Blush line with an easy-to-apply approach.
Additionally, Colorescience Blush line offers a variety of colors and styles of blushers which facilitate this easy to use and apply-style type of approach. Colorescience Retractable Blusher Brush-Just Barely is a medium, neutral mauve colored brown blush whereas Colorescience Retractable Blusher Brush-My Lil Pumpkin is a medium colored terra cotta peach. The Colorescience Blush line also offers the easy to use retractable blusher in Colorescience Retractable Blusher Brush-Gingerly Speaking which offers a deep earthy red-brown tone (which promotes a more sun-tanned look) and a "versatile" pinky peach with Colorescience Retractable Blusher Brush-Blushing Bride which provides a "kissed" or romantic look for those with perhaps fairer skin. Lastly, Colorescience Blush line offers one of the most popular colors according to assorted customer reviews, ratings and reports. Colorescience Retractable Blusher Brush-Apple of My Eye is a highly sought after medium rosy red.

Ned Yost media session: June 25
Before tonight's 6:10 contest vs. the Chicago Cubs, Royals manager Ned Yost shared with the media his decision to place outfielders Jarrod Dyson and Mitch Maier in the lineup today and give center fielder Melky Cabrera and right fielder Jeff Francoeur the day off. The skipper explained that Cabrera and Francoeur would benefit physically from having the day off and create an opportunity for Dyson and Maier to gain playing time. Yost spoke about shortstop Alcides Escobar and praised him for his endurance and skill thus far into the season.
"This kid [Escobar] shows no effects of slowing down," Yost said. "Esky is always alert, always ready when he walks in to the clubhouse."
Right handed starter Kyle Davies will be continuing his rehabilitation assignment tonight after being placed on the 15-day disabled list and will be taking the mound for the Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers with tonight's 7:05 contest vs. Memphis. Yost discussed the possible scenarios once Davies returns and is activated from the disabled list, but those decisions are still a few days off.

Five Stunning Italian Red Wines To Kick Off 2012
As you know, I love all wine but I have a soft spot in my heart for Italian wine. While I enjoy the acidity and bright fruit flavors that most Italian wines exhibit, I love the passion that Italians, and particularly Italian winemakers, have for wine. It's infectious. The Italians vinify varietals that 99.9% of the population has never heard of, including a number that date back to ancient Rome and the Greeks. The Italians do tons of crazy stuff with their grapes – the same grape could be vinified still or sparkling or left to dry on straw mats for sweet wine. Plus, the difference in wine culture from North to South is stark and reflected in the wines themselves.

What's for Dinner? New parents appreciate quick, healthy meals
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Last week, I became a grandmommy for the first time. I had somewhat forgotten how much time a newborn takes once they are home. Mom and Dad are a little overwhelmed and need to be able to cook affordable, easy and quick meals.
This week, three dinners can be made from a family pack of chicken breasts, and all meals can be prepared and ready to eat in about an hour. Salmon and an Italian casserole complete a week's worth of healthy eating for a busy family.
20-Minute Chicken Parmesan
Makes 4 servings. Source: www.cdkitchen.com.
4 boneless, skinless, chicken breast halves
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1 3/4 cups spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
PLACE chicken between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; flatten to 1/4-inch thickness using a rolling pin. Dip chicken in egg, and dredge in bread crumbs. Cook chicken in butter in a large skillet over medium heat until browned on both sides.
SPOON spaghetti sauce over chicken; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cheeses and parsley (if desired), cover and simmer five additional minutes or until cheeses melt.
SERVE with green salad and warm garlic bread.

1 tablespoon olive oil
HEAT oven to 400°.
COMBINE gouda, green onion, pimentos and 1/2 teaspoon paprika in a small bowl. Cut a horizontal slit along the thin, long edge of each chicken breast, nearly through to the opposite side, and open like a book. Sprinkle breasts with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Divide the cheese filling among the chicken breasts, placing in the center of each. Close the breast over the filling, pressing the edges firmly together to seal.
SPRINKLE the breasts with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon paprika and 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn the chicken over and transfer the skillet to the oven.

Tire Kingdom to Sponsor Todd Bodine's Trifecta Attempt During Daytona Speedweeks
Posted by: lori on Feb 10, 2011
Tagged in: Sherwin Williams , NASCAR Sprint Cup Series , Germain Racing
Germain Racing driver is entered in Daytona 500,
Nationwide and Truck events at Daytona International Speedway
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 9, 2011) -- Tire Kingdom®, a leading brand of automotive service centers for the Florida-based TBC Retail Group, announced that it will be the primary sponsor in Todd Bodine's quest to compete in NASCAR's three national racing series for Germain Racing at Daytona International Speedway.
A 36-time NASCAR winner, Bodine is entered in the No. 30 Tire Kingdom Toyota Tundra for the Feb. 18 Camping World Truck Series race, the No. 15 Tire Kingdom Toyota Camry for the Feb. 19 Nationwide Series event and the No. 60 Tire Kingdom Toyota Camry for the Feb. 20 Daytona 500 Sprint Cup Series opener.
Bodine's vehicles for the season-opening races will also carry associate sponsorship from Valvoline and TBC Retail's other automotive service centers -- NTB - National Tire and Battery®, Merchant's Tire and Auto Centers® and Big O Tires®.
"Featuring Tire Kingdom as the primary on these vehicles is a great complement to our automotive service centers in the Florida market," said Bob Crostarosa, senior vice president of marketing and advertising, TBC Retail Group. "We are able to maintain the consistent theme of our Service Central Racing program. The red, white and blue color scheme is synonymous with integrity, trustworthiness, and quality, which is the foundation of Service Central® and our service centers Tire Kingdom, NTB-National Tire and Battery, Merchant's Tire and Big O Tires."
Bodine is the reigning and two-time NASCAR truck season champion. Since 2005 – his first season driving full time for Germain Racing -- he has never finished lower than fourth in the season point standings. Along with winning the series title last year, he also took home the truck championship in 2006.
Bodine's truck record at Daytona has been impeccable with two wins, two runners-up, a third and a fifth for a finishing average of 2.3 in six starts. Bodine's overall truck record includes: 21 wins, 82 top fives and 106 top 10s in 165 starts.
"I am very excited to have Tire Kingdom and Valvoline for all of my races in Daytona and being part of the Service Central Racing program," said Bodine. "It does not happen often that you get to represent one great company, let alone two in all three races in a weekend. Hopefully with a little luck we can run up front and get into Victory Lane."
Bodine, a native of Chemung, N.Y. and the youngest (46) of the three famous racing brothers with Geoffrey and Brett, has a career total of 238 Cup starts (including four in the Daytona 500) and 324 Nationwide Series starts. He has captured 15 victories in the Nationwide Series.
"It is with great honor that we can bring world class brands such as Tire Kingdom, Service Central and Valvoline together with Germain Racing and our reigning NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion, Todd Bodine," said team owner Bob Germain Jr. "It is a perfect complement in both brand and sport, and a partnership we are very much looking forward to cultivating as we have done with Valvoline."
Germain, along with brothers Steve and Rick, formed Germain Racing in 2004. The team has collected six consecutive top-five point finishes in the Truck Series, including two championships, 22 wins and nine pole awards.

Welcome to Catalyst WorkshopsOptional for students new to Catalyst
I am delighted to be your instructor in this course. I am an instructor at De Anza College and am also currently completing my dissertation for a Ph.D. in Child and Adolescent Development at Stanford University. I have been engaged in the field of developmental psychology for over ten years. I hope you will find this topic and course as fascinating as I do! Email is the best way to contact me if you have any questions or want to set up a time to talk. I hope you find this class to be interesting and informative and that it helps to meet your educational objectives.
Child Development: The Early Years covers physical, cognitive, social and emotional growth and development from conception to age five. In this course, you will use current and historical theoretical perspectives in developmental psychology to reflect on others' as well as your own development. As all development occurs within a cultural context, attention will be given to diverse perspectives on child development.
The primary content of the course comes from the text, Infants, Children and Adolescents, 7th Ed, by Laura Berk. The online resources MyDevelopmentLab and MyVirtualChild reinforce the material and are included in the textbook package you can purchase at the DeAnza bookstore (ISBN: 9781256339861). I recommend that you purchase your textbook from the DeAnza bookstore as we have obtained a discount on the unbound textbook and extra resources. If you buy your textbook elsewhere you will need to make sure it includes access to MyDevelopmentLab with MyVirtualChild. Alternatively, you may purchase access to MyDevelopmentLab (which includes an e-book, but no hard copy) once you begin our online class for around $80. Instructions will be provided on our class website (Catalyst).
Our virtual classroom is online and is called Catalyst. All assignments and discussion take place on the Catalyst website. Each week, there will be a question posted each week that corresponds to subject matter in the chapter. You must post an answer to the question in the appropriate Discussion Forum by midnight Sunday of the same week. Your responses will count as attendance and participation for the class.
For Week 1: If you do not sign in to Catalyst and answer the first question on the Discussion Forum by Friday, January 11th, by 5:00 p.m., you will be dropped from the course.

Technology Made in Italy but with new design.
The Seac technical buoyancy compensator par excellence has already been awarded the Reddot Award Product Design in 2007 as "The best of the best", and now renews its design and some functional aspects. The new back plate in black aluminium, a cover that's even more comfortable, and two additional aluminium rings are major improvements made to the new version. Instead, absolute independence of the harness over the bag remains the same, as do the high buoyancy capacity, its extremely light weight, and ease of adjustment. zoomICARO TECH Outer breathing bag material: Cordura 1000D coated in PU • Inner breathing bag material: Nylon 210 D PU–coated • Dump valve: 3 with pull commands • "D" rings: 8 rings measuring 50 mm in black aluminium • Dry weight (size M-L): 3050 g
Sternum Adjustment
Adjustable sternum closure can be positioned at
two different heights and adjusted with the
practical buckles. This allows a better fit for
various body shapes and the position of the
drysuit valve.
This characteristic makes the jacket very
comfortable to wear while diving and absolutely
practical and comfortable to transport before and
High Lift
The high buoyancy force satisfies even the most
demanding divers need, allowing them to wear
heavy cylinders and various accessories with no
Frame to Back System
System for anchroing the shoulder straps
connected directly to the back plate, thanks to
which the voumetric expansion of the bag has no
effect on the straps. This allows greater comfort
and maximum adaptation to the various body

Port Charlotte, FL-- Rays' third-baseman Evan Longoria reported to Spring Training camp Tuesday, and said he'll be ready to play.
He took ground balls at third base. He's also been running, but not at full speed.
Longoria missed 85 games last season, with a torn hamstring. The Rays were below .500 while he was out. He had a procedure in November to fix the injured hamstring, and told 10 News he feels great.
"I was a little bit nervous going into it," said Longoria before his workout this morning. "But the way it's responded, the way the workouts have gone after the little procedure, I couldn't have been happier with doing it."
Joe Maddon mentioned giving Longoria a day off here and there, maybe having him DH once a week, to keep him fresh.
"I'd like to play every game, trust me, I try to play every game every year," said Longoria. "But just be healthy... Every year, every day... If I have to take a day off, here and there, not to go on the DL... Not to have to deal with that stress and worry, I'll do it."
Longoria said he will be ready to play Opening Day April 2nd, at home, against Baltimore.

I really like the twist lock over lever. I think it depends though, on a cheaper tripod the lever is probably more reliable. On the Slik's the twist lock is really smooth and it makes adjusting the legs a lot quicker.

I'm using the Outdoorsmans pistol grip (way better than the Bogen IMO)... The Outdoorsmans is 9.8 ounces, Mine is a prototype they were messing with and the insides are lighter and trigger is cut, so mine is a touch lighter...
"This is A Way of Life"
Greylight, I to am glad your on here, your info is top notch. I to am looking into spotters and tripods so this is all helpful
SD, I am glad that you can take something away from what I might assist with... I know it is only my opinion and ultimately I only want the best of experiences for all of my fellow hunters... To me it's all about sharing the knowledge we acquire in the field, some things tougher lessons learned than others. I always pick up good tips from forums like these...
"This is A Way of Life"
Thank you much for your explanation. It all makes a little more since now. After looking at the other pistol grip I like the looks of it a lot. Have you had any issues with it?
The twist style legs are awesome. Grab all of them and with one quick twist all leg segments are free to slide!! I just got a Slik 624 CF and love it. Too short to stand up and glass, but that rarely happens in the field. The compact size and weight saved were worth it.
I also put a Slik panhead on it. It is very smooth and looks an aweful lot like the Jim White only over $200 cheaper!!
I am also looking for advice on a lightweight backpacking tripod. I can really only spend around 100$ maybe a bit more. It has to be able to hold up to a 60mm spotting scope steady, and be at least tall enough to sit up behind.
I have heard some decent things abot the vortex high country. However, I am not sure about the ball head on it. I am used to the typical pan head. How do you guys that have one like the ball head?
Any other decent lightweight tripods in the 100$ range I should look at?

Any predictions for the game tonight?
AND WE KICKED YOUR ***!" Johnny Orr to Dick Vitale on Selection Sunday circa 1992.
K-State bounces back and wins by 3 TD's.
WOW....I say no TD
Malone.....idiot. Just run all the way into the end zone and then celebrate.
I think Malone dropped it before the endzone. This is gonna be a huge call
The absolute dumbest play I've ever witnessed. The KSU Dback deserves to have his pick6 overturned!
That fumble...
LMAO...now my question is why is it not Texas ball?
They're lucky they get to keep the ball and it isn't a touchback.
Wow, what an idiot.
At least KSU gets the ball. Announcers made it sound like UT would get it.
Huh. Didn't expect K-state to keep the ball. Strange.
UT gets screwed for once it appears
The ball didn't go to the half yard line, it fell into the endzone prior to the touchdown signal. that should be a touchback. For sure.
Unless it isn't where the ball is, but where it was released... I need Mike Pereira
Sounds like UT screwed on that one.
Those lucky purple *******!

It's true that protein is necessary for muscle recovery after strenuous endurance exercise. But did you know that protein can keep your body from cannibalizing itself during prolonged activity? That's why Honey Stinger 20g Protein Bars should be in your jersey pocket on long rides.
In addition to burning the stored glycogen in your muscles, your body will get 10-15% of its energy from the breakdown of amino acids in your muscles. You can avert this gluconeogenesis (sounds bad doesn't it) and the weakened, sore muscles it causes by providing your body with protein as part of your endurance fuel. As the name would imply, Honey Stinger's 20g Protein Bars give you 20 grams of whey protein for rapid availability. Otherwise, they're made with 30% organic honey that is regarded as nature's energy food. Honey provides a perfect 1:1 blend of simple sugars, glucose and fructose, like the fruit that we eat. The benefits for endurance athletes are quick absorption and that it's easy on the stomach.
Honey Stinger 20g Protein Bars come in a box of 12. They're available in three tasty flavors -- Dark Chocolate Cherry Almond, Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond, and Peanut Butta.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I like these as a quick energy pick up while cycling and also as a pre workout snack.the provide 20 grams a whey protein which the body absorbs better than soy. I like the chocolate coconut but try not to let them get warm as they become a gooey mess.
So good, kind of addicted
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I don't think you can go wrong with any flavor when it comes to these Honey Stinger Protein Bars. Perfect for pre-endurance adventure, as well as during your activity. Gentle on the stomach...and too tasty for your own good.
Super good...
These are SUPER good, but are on the sweet side and do have lots of calories. I think they are great for meal replacement or after a long, hard workout.
Honey Stinger 20g Protein Bars
really chewy and sweet
Taste of these is nice, but I wish they made them without the chocolate coating though as they're already way sweet. Bits of honey stick around in your teeth for later too, kind of a bonus I guess.
I prefer the Clif Builders Bars (Lemon and Chocolate Mint!) in texture and taste, but these are more filling and higher in calories for that meal replacement scenario. The Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond is really nice, but I haven't had the others.
Really good
These are the best tasting protein bars on the market. They don't have the grainy texture of other ones out there and they don't freeze badly in cold weather.
Kind of upset that I didn't try one of these locally before getting, but did get for a steal on S&C.
Not sure what those who compare to an Almond Joy or Mounds are saying. Tastes like sweet, chocolate-covered cardboard to me.
But, trusting that the nutritional info is correct & will use as post-ride recovery--with a big bottle of water nearby to wash down.
Good and filling
My family really likes these protein bars. They taste pretty good and they fill you up for a good 4 hours. Can supplement lunchtime meal with these. My favorite is the dark chocolate coconut almond. The dark chocolate cherry almond was pretty good too. I'm looking forward to trying the peanut butter flavor.
Not like a granola bar
These taste like a candy bar. There's lots of honey in them and they're sweet like a candy bar. They taste super sweet, but they're nothing like a cliff bar or power bar.
Not for me
I found these of very questionable taste....tried 2 different types and they both tasted bad. Unable to finish either although the dog has no such compunctions and Hanked what was left of them right down. As noted by another, the Clif Builder bars are much better, as are the Balance, Zone Diet, and Promax bars as well: X10 at least.
I'd pass on these unless you could try one first.
Too much sugar - junk candy bars
I bought a couple cases of these on SAC and the 1st ingredient is evaporated cane juice. These things are pure junk food. I wont buy them again. There's more energy loss than gained eating this kind of crap! Yuck!!! they also taste like candy bars. I usually buy waaay better bars than this. They are pretty horrible and nothing healthy about them! A little bit of protein but all the sugar kills any good these bars might do for you. Am attaching a list of ingredients - check out the 1st one which states what these bars are mostly made of!
If you are a serious athlete and don't get what I mean, read Brendan Brazier's book, "Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to
Optimal Performance in Sports and Life". The Thrive diet is awesome!!!!
I think you are missing the point of "energy" used for training and races. When you have been exercising for two hours or more, your body desperately needs sugar to continue functioning, fat to get high density calories, and protein to promote muscle growth. What makes Honey Stinger products great is that instead of being manufactured, processed, synthetic sugars etc. it is as natural as possible.
the evaporated cane juice is an ingredient of the chocolate. Honey is the 1st ingredient of the "filling". the chocolate coating is quite thin. Next comes whey protein and almond butter...
I like these over all the other ones as they are free of grains and peanuts (unless you order the peanut ones). I keep mine fresh in the freezer until needed. You can chip off the chocolate coating while they are in a frozen state, btw. Ya, it would be nice if they reduced the honey content by 20% or so, but as is they are a great alternative for those of us who prefer to keep wheat, corn, oats, and rice out of our food.
Delicious, filling and effective
I love these bars! I purchased the dark chocolate almond/cherry ones and they are delicious! They're the perfect snack after a workout or whenever you're hungry. Definitely try them out!
I wont argue these are better than a lot of those nasty protein bars out there but they are WAYYYY over hyped here and are far from great tasting. As a protein bar they do the trick and are palatable.
If you really want a delicious protein bar, get Clif Builders bars. Better than many candy bars and snack bars (chocolate mint is phenomenal). Wont be getting these again unless i cant grab a Clif.
Chocolate Peanut Butta
These are great bars! I had it for the first time a couple of weeks ago while on a ski trip. My brother and I both had the bar for lunch and didn't need to stop skiing for a break. They are pretty sweet, more like a candy bar, but they are packed with protein.
good for winter trips
This bar wont break you teeth off when its cold out. Great taste, lots of punch for the weight, and they travel well. At -15 F you can bite through them without worry of injuring yourself. I used them while hunting on the Yukon river this winter, they were well received by my hunting buddies.
Chocolate bar?
Best tasting bar I have eaten so far.It's good to get a break from eating other brands.
Awesome taste
I first tried these bars after I got them in a race package....They were so good I almost ate the whole box in one evening....
super good
highly recommend the Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond flavor
I wanted to eat these things for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
very tasty , will buy more
I love these bars, I get them whenever they go on sale at local camping supply stores. I was excited to get a 12 pack from backcountry.com; when they arrived, the packaging has a bit of wear on it (not the shipping box, but the thing cardboard box in which the bars are placed (like, at a retail checkout line area), but the bars themselves were in tact.Unfortunately, when I bit in to one, it tasted funky. I tried two more before chalking the shipment up to a loss, and tossing the pack. Oh well, I guess you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.EDIT: A few weeks ago, I received a package from a representative of this company. They sent a replacement box, and samples of their other products.The replacement tasted just like it should have!2 stars to 5
Who gave you the replacement? Was is honey stinger or SAC? I got an off box myself
Peanut Butta
These are F'n good.
Do these contain soy or soy proteins?
Do these contain soy or soy proteins?
It does not list soy proteins in the ingredients, but it does contain soy products (soya lecithin).
These don't seem kinda high in fat to...
These don't seem kinda high in fat to anyone?
A good energy bar will be high in fat. Fat is essential to fueling long duration workouts because its incredibly high calorie density makes it one of the the most efficient ways to provide energy to the body.
yeah it depends on the use really. the longer you are out the more fat is needed obviously. there aren't any trans fats, which is great. but there is 6g of saturated fats.

Haunted New York
by Laura Kusnyer, 10/26/2010
Green-Wood Cemetery. Photo: Phil Kline
New Yorkers aren't shy when it comes to talking about their run-ins with the afterlife in the City. Many locals claim ghosts haunt NYC's old buildings and parks—some more quietly than others. New York City has, of course, landmark cemeteries (like Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery), hidden resting places (like the little-known plot behind the Bowery Hotel) and unique burial grounds (like the boat graveyard in Staten Island). There's also no shortage of celebrity ghosts in New York: John Lennon is said to haunt the Dakota, where he was murdered, and poet Dylan Thomas and Nancy Spungen, Sid Vicious' girlfriend, are rumored to be spending the afterlife at the Chelsea Hotel, where both met their demise. While some of these accounts may be apocryphal, New Yorkers report plenty of firsthand encounters with poltergeists. The (allegedly) paranormal activity ranges from ominous incidents, like doors slamming for no apparent reason at a New York University dorm, to the downright weird: Dorothy Parker terrifying small children at the Algonquin Hotel. The City's colorful cast of apparitions even includes Aaron Burr and his daughter, adding a measure of historical cachet to the experience of getting spooked in NYC.
