BOULDER - No one said staying unbeaten (or ranked) would be easy, and it wasn't on Tuesday night for the No. 19 Colorado Buffaloes. Texas Southern took CU to double overtime at the Coors Events Center, but the Buffs avoided a calamity, pulling away for an unexpectedly difficult 85-80 win.
"To me the story of the night was Texas Southern, not the Colorado Buffaloes," CU coach Tad Boyle said. "Their kids played their hearts out (and) we were fortunate to win . . . I'm not saying we didn't deserve it, but we definitely have to get better."
CU (6-0) outscored Texas Southern (1-6) 14-9 in the second OT and now enters its toughest non-conference stretch. The Buffs are at Wyoming on Saturday (8 p.m.), return to the Events Center next Wednesday to face Colorado State (8:30 p.m.), travel to No. 10 Kansas on Saturday, Dec. 8 (noon, MST), then follow that trip with a visit to Fresno State on Wednesday, Dec. 12 (8 p.m., MST).
CU lost to both CSU (65-64) and Wyoming (65-54) last season, and Boyle let his players know if their focus doesn't elevate past what it was to open Tuesday night, ugly times await.
"We can blink our eyes in a week and half and be 6-4 instead of 6-0," he said. "This is going to be an unbelievable stretch for our guys."
The Buffs trailed by 15 points in the first half, and coming back from that deficit to win tied for the seventh largest comeback in school history. Also, coming back from a 10-point halftime deficit ranked as CU's eighth-best rally ever.
Yet as unsightly as Tuesday night opened, the Buffs at least finished well enough to win. "This game, at the end of the day, will help us get better," Boyle said. "Maybe we needed a little wakeup going into Wyoming . . . I know we're capable of playing better, but we did things we had to, to win. There are things to build on."
Four Buffs finished in double figures, topped by Spencer Dinwiddie's 24 points, which included 16 from the free throw line. Josh Scott and Andre Roberson each had double-doubles, Scott with 18 points and 12 rebounds, Roberson with 11 and 12 before fouling out with 1:30 left in regulation. Askia Booker added 15 points.
Tigers guard Omar Strong hit 39 points, 27 of them on uncanny three-point shooting. He attempted 21 treys and 29 shots overall. His final trey was the last shot of the night - and it amazed Dinwiddie.
"That last shot of the game tells the tale of the whole night," Dinwiddie said. "He looked down at the floor, at my shoes, and then shot a 35-footer and didn't hit net. So that's the kind of game he had."
The game was tied 59-59 at the end of regulation and 71-71 at the end of the first OT. Scott got the first five points to open the second extra period and CU hit eight of 11 free throws to seal the win.
The Buffs trailed by 10 (39-29) at the half, but it took a Booker trey at the buzzer - his only field goal of the first half - to get them that close. CU played what was easily its most dysfunctional half of the young season, having only two field goals at the 10-minute mark, getting out-rebounded 19-16, committing nine turnovers (vs. two assists) and once again faltering in defending the long ball. The Buffs trailed by as many as 15 before intermission.
Boyle shouldered the blame for the inefficient start: "I didn't have them ready to go . . . we didn't respect them going into the game. We weren't ready and it's on me," he said.
Strong, a 5-9 senior, came in shooting 22 percent from beyond the arc (12-of-53). CU might have paid too much attention to those numbers, because he turned demonic. After the Buffs had taken their only early lead (4-3), Strong reeled off three consecutive triples to send the Tigers ahead 12-4. He got another two before intermission to finish 6-of-10 from behind the arc and added a couple of free throws for 20 first-half points - a nice uptick from his 8.7 average.
Meanwhile, the Buffs were struggling to find their offensive rhythm. Dinwiddie accounted for 10 first-half points, but eight of them were from the free throw line. Scott was the only CU player with more than one field goal (two-for-five).
The Tigers were riding a three-game losing streak, but they didn't play like it. From the 9:43 mark until the halftime buzzer, they held a double-digit lead - the largest margin being 35-20. They wound up going 7-for-17 (41.2 percent) from three-point range and 15-of-30 (50 percent) from the field overall. But they finished the night at 38.4 percent from the field (28-of-73) and 12-of-37 (32.4 percent) from beyond the arc.
The Buffs clearly had to dig themselves out of a deep funk in the final 20 minutes - and the excavation started immediately. The Tigers were forced into a five-second turnover on their first possession, and that flipped the switch for an 11-0 run that sent the Buffs up 40-39- their first lead since 4-3.
Thereafter, the Buffs managed leads no larger than three points and a trey by Raymond Penn sent the Tigers up 50-48 with 9 minutes to play. Dinwiddie answered on CU's next possession (51-50) and Roberson followed with a layup (53-50) when the Buffs broke the visitors' press. When Dinwiddie added another triple, CU had an 8-0 run going and its largest lead to that point - 56-50 - with 6:44 remaining.
The Tigers weren't finished. They crept to within 57-56 with 3:06 left, but Scott's pair of free throws at 1:51 put CU up 59-56. Aaron Clayborn made one of two free throws 21 seconds later to cut the Buffs' lead to 59-57.
Booker had an open look from the right wing, but missed badly and first-year TSU coach Mike Davis called a timeout with 59.3 seconds showing. The Tigers worked the ball low to Fred Sturdivant, who tied the score at 59-59 with 42.5 seconds to play.
CU's possible winning possession fizzled when the Buffs failed to beat the shot clock, giving the Tigers 7.5 seconds to win it. But Strong's shot with one second left clanked off the back of the iron and OT was on tap - minus Roberson.
Time for Scott to step up - and he did. "Since Andre is such a great rebounder, pretty much Andre and everyone else was encouraging me to rebound and keep being aggressive on the boards," Scott said. "And I think I did that."
Strong scored TSU's first nine points in the extra period, including a long trey to give the Tigers a 66-63 lead and two of three free throws to tie the score at 68-68 with 1:15 left in the extra period.
With 41 seconds showing and 4 seconds on the shot clock, Booker took an in-bounds pass in the left corner and launched his trey. It swished. It was CU 71, TSU 68 with 41 seconds remaining.
The Tigers called two timeouts, the final one with 13.7 seconds on the game clock and 9 on the shot clock. Lawrence Danner-Johnson tied the score at 71 with a three from the left wing.
It was the Buffs' turn for a timeout. They called it with 5.2 seconds left. Booker missed from the right wing - and it was on to OT No. 2. And that apparently was OK with Scott. The 6-10 freshman opened the scoring with an inside bucket, then added a conventional three-point play to give the Buffs a 76-71 advantage. Classmate Xavier Johnson, who played both OTs with four fouls, added another pair of free throws to up the lead to 78-72 with 3:28 remaining - and that seemed safe enough.
It was. When Sabatino Chen finished a fast break with a layup, the Buffs had an 80-72 cushion and finally could take a deep breath.
"You got to see the makeup of the team," Dinwiddie said. "They punched us in the mouth, we came back and then it was a dog fight from there on out.
"We didn't break apart, we didn't crumble, we didn't start going after each other. We pulled together and we won this game."
Ahead are the real tests - four monsters in a row. If Boyle wants more from his team, he knows what to expect from the other guys: "No one is going to be intimidated by us because we're No. 19."

Gardening Articles: Care :: Pests & Problems
Shopper's Guide to Bark Mulch
by Charlie Nardozzi
The advantages of using organic mulch to blanket soil around trees, shrubs, and perennial plants are many: Mulch moderates soil temperature and makes a more favorable environment for roots. It reduces evaporation of moisture, helping to conserve water. It reduces splashing from rain or irrigation water, reduces the spread of disease, and blocks the germination of many weed seeds. Beyond all that, a mulch dresses up your garden, giving it a more finished look.
This article explores the kinds of bark mulches you can buy and their advantages and disadvantages. Several bark and wood mulches are available--bark nuggets, mini-nuggets, hardwood mulch, and shredded mulch. Some come in bags, some in bulk. A chief advantage of these mulches compared with other organic mulches is that they remain attractive and functional for a couple of years. That's why gardeners mulching around trees, shrubs, and other long-lived plants are wise to choose a long-lasting bark mulch.
The Difference Between Wood and Bark Mulch
According to the National Bark & Soil Producers Association, any mulch with "bark" in the name must be at least 85 percent bark of that named tree. A "mulch" material, on the other hand, need be only 70 percent of the named material, and it may be either bark or wood. In both cases, the remaining 15 or 30 percent can be just about anything, but it is usually wood.
The primary difference is how long the mulch will last before breaking down. "Wood breaks down quicker and is more susceptible to insect damage and discoloring than bark," explains Bob LaGasse, executive director of the NBSPA.
Nitrogen Deficiency
Decomposing wood requires nitrogen. If you add a quantity of, say, fresh sawdust to your garden soil, chances are your plants will suffer from a lack of nitrogen. In this case, the soil isn't necessarily deficient, but the breakdown of the sawdust "induces" nitrogen deficiency in your plants. Wood and bark mulches can also induce nitrogen deficiency, but it isn't likely because they decompose at such a slow rate. It's also unlikely because they are on top of the soil, not incorporated at root depth. But if this concerns you, or if your plants show the signs of nitrogen deficiency, add a 2-1-1 ratio fertilizer, such as 20-10-10, before mulching (2 to 5 pounds per 500 square feet).
Agricultural By-products
Exotic mulches are usually agricultural by-products and are often (or only) available in bulk. One big advantage is their very low cost. Most are available only seasonally and only in certain areas of the country. Some examples of these include cottonseed, buckwheat, corncobs, grape pomace, pine straw, and pecan, walnut, and rice hulls.
Although many exotic mulches are attractive and less expensive to use, they can be hard to find and may attract insects, such as ants. Plus, they tend to break down quickly. Ask your local Extension agent or garden center about the availability of this kind of mulch in your area.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kathy318 Wonderful table Love, love, love this table! Excellent quality, unique style, and great price! Went back online to purchase the end table to match it but it is currently out of stock...will keep watching for it though! March 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by BrowniesMom Pleased with purchase We recently renovated an older home and needed a small-scaled rectangular table for our family room. After searching the major furniture stores and not finding anything small enough, we searched online and found the Flint table which was exactly what we were looking for. It's beautiful yet rugged enough to prop our feet on. I was skeptical about ordering online without other reviews, but I could not be happier with our purchase. I especially like the nailhead trim on top which is very trendy right now, yet timeless. August 3, 2011

Fidelis Care, a partner with Catholic Charities Community Services (CCCS) for nearly a decade, donated $509,000 to Catholic Charities on May 3, 2013 to further the two agencies' aligned mission to serve the poor and needy of New York.
This partnership has proved particularly important in light of the punishing impact the lasting effects the economic recession and deep cuts in social service programs have had on families in need.
- One in every six New Yorkers – 1.4 million of our neighbors – now relies on daily emergency food.
- More than half are employed yet still cannot manage to make ends meet with their earnings. Close to 9,700 families with 15,000 children sleep in homeless shelters.
These numbers indicate what Catholic Charities already knows. Poverty is not merely the lack of adequate financial resources. Instead, it entails a profound deprivation, a denial of full participation in the economic, social and political life of society and an inability to influence decisions that affect one's own life. It means being powerless in a way that assaults not only one's pocketbook but also one's fundamental human dignity.
Fidelis Care is the New York State Catholic Health Plan, providing health coverage to children and adults in 58 counties statewide. The mission of Fidelis Care is to ensure that every resident, regardless of income, age, religion, gender, or ethnic background, has access to quality health care and is provided with dignity and respect. Through partnerships with providers, schools, and community agencies like Catholic Charities New York, Fidelis Care works to foster healthier futures for members and their families.
Now as more and more individuals and families seek help, the Fidelis Care grant assists Catholic Charities Community Services as we continue to respond as we always have, with professional case management services across the ten counties of the Archdiocese of New York that alleviate crises and set families and individuals on a path toward stability.

There are several different types of ovarian cancer, some more common than others. The type you have will partly determine your treatment options and prognosis. These are the major types of ovarian cancer.
This is the most common type of ovarian cancer. Nearly 85 to 90% of ovarian tumors are this type. This is a cancer that occurs in the cells on the surface of the ovaries, called the epithelium. Although women of any age can develop it, it most commonly occurs in women over the age of 60. It also has cells that have certain features that can be seen under a microscope. This enables doctors to further classify these cancers. Tumors with cells that look more normal are believed to be less aggressive and less likely to spread. They are often called tumors of low malignant potential, or simply LMP tumors.
Germ cell tumors are an uncommon type of ovarian tumors. Less than 2% of ovarian tumors are this type. They start in the cells that form eggs in the ovary. They are usually found in adolescent girls and young women. And they usually affect only one ovary. Unlike other types of ovarian cancer, which don't tend to have symptoms early on, germ cell cancers cause pain and discomfort at the beginning stages. That means they are often found early, when they have not spread. Even if they have spread, the cure rate is high.
Stromal cell cancer is an uncommon form of ovarian cancer. It starts in the cells that make female hormones and hold the ovarian tissues together, called connective tissue. Like germ cell cancer, stromal cell cancer causes pain and discomfort in the early stages, and therefore is likely to be diagnosed early. Another common symptom is abnormal vaginal bleeding. Also, like germ cell ovarian cancer, stromal cell cancer accounts for about 1% of all ovarian cancers. These tend to be slow-growing tumors. One type of stromal cell cancer occurs primarily in girls. Another type occurs in grown women of any age, but more often in women who are past menopause.
This is a type of cancer that is much like epithelial ovarian cancer, but it starts outside the ovaries. It grows from the cells that line the pelvis and abdomen, called the peritoneum. This type of cancer looks very much like epithelial ovarian cancer. Sometimes it is hard to tell where the cancer started. Women who have had their ovaries removed can still get this type of cancer.
This is an extremely rare type of cancer that starts outside the ovaries. It is found in one or both of a woman's fallopian tubes. It is treated like ovarian cancer.

ZF-7228: Zend_Loader will include a file multiple times (no include_once)
In ZF-2923 (SVN 12769), the include_once call on line #83 was changed to include. This created some cases where a single file could be included multiple times and cause a 'Cannot redeclare class' fatal error.
// Register the ZF autoload function
require_once 'Zend/Loader/AutoLoader.php';
$loader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
Zend_Locale::$compatibilityMode = false;
$localeExists = class_exists('Locale') // Should equal false, but includes Zend/Locale.php
Sorry, I just remembered to check the trunk and it looks like it has already been updated there. When will that be moved into a tag?
Ok, double sorry. I'm not used to Fisheye so I was looking at an old version. The latest trunk does not have include_once.
First, are you absolutely sure about the error and the fix?
Zend_Loader::loadClass() does a class_exists() check before it ever attempts to load a class via include(). We switched from include_once() to include() as (a) the aforementioned class_exists() check typically short circuits the call in the first place, and (b) it provides some performance gain over its _once() cousin (which must do a stat() call internally to check against its internal path cache).
Second, the case that you present indicates that your include_path is set incorrectly. if class_exists('Locale') is including Zend_Locale, that means that you have library/Zend/ on your include_path -- instead of just library/ -- which is what should be on the path.
Finally, I'd recommend against using the autoloader as a fallback autoloader. One of the key reasons it was developed was to provide a namespaced autoloader -- which helps prevent the very issues you're running against. Always, always, always prefix your classes with your vendor/personal class prefix -- it prevents naming collisions, and assists the autoloader in preventing false positive lookups.
To your first points, I can understand that you want to get the performance benefits of dropping include_once to just include, but it does add the possibility in some edge cases for including a file multiple times. The only reason we've found it is because of some practices which are probably more lazy than anything on our part. But I'll get into that after addressing the include_path.
A standard PHP include path looks something like '.:{PEAR libraries}'. Since there is a '.' in the include path, an attempt to load a class of name 'Locale' will include the Zend/Locale.php file because the Loader.php file also sits in that Zend directory. That can be solved by shifting your include_path to ensure the real Locale file gets included before the Zend locale or by removing the '.'. But that is only a fix if there is a Locale.php file elsewhere that you are trying to include.
In this particular case we are running class_exists with the string 'Locale', which doesn't exist. If class_exists returns false, we prepend a prefix and run the check again. The second check finds the proper class and we continue running. This is why the class_exists check doesn't protect us from the include call.
* This calls the autoloader with 'Zend_Locale', which includes the Zend/Locale.php file
- This call the auto loader with 'Locale', which should return false but causes a fatal error
- The class_exists check before the include call returns false because no file has been included that defines the class Locale
- The include call sees the '.' in the include path and includes Zend/Locale.php because the Loader.php file is in the Zend directory
- At that point the fatal error is thrown saying that Zend_Locale cannot be redeclared
If you are interested in keeping the benefits of the include call over include_once, could I suggest adding a setting to Zend_Loader that determines if it should use include or include_once?
I'm with Jeff Mace. I just got the same problem, we're looping over 2 different namespaces to autoload a class depending on the first namespace that it finds it in. With include_once it works perfectly, but with the current 1.9.2 and 1.9.3PL1 it just give me a blank error page without error.
Note that I only have this problem running it on Zend Platform Enterprise Edition with code acceleration and such options enabled, locally on a WAMPserver it does not occur. Also note that the Zend_Loader::loadFile() function has an option to use include or include_one, but it's not used withing the loadClass() function when you do not give it any directories.
I think all includes should be an include_once/require_once, no matter what.
Addition to my comment above:
Zend_Loader @line: 82&83:
include $file;
can be replaced by the following line:
self::loadFile($file, null, true);
I have just the same problem, Our class Auth was included as Zend_Auth and it caused problem "Cannot redeclare class". I spent 4 hours to figure out the reason. Please repair these bug. Thanks
Fixed in trunk, to release with 1.10.0.

From the stunning florals and amazing ruffle cake to the {very theme-appropriate} scent station and soft pink & gray color palette, every element of this shower is downright lovely & inviting… perfect for welcoming a sweet baby girl!
One of my favorite details has to be the the clever incorporation of the iconic perfume label into the decor & favor design… but swapped out to read "PEYTON No. 2" (since Peyton is the 2nd little girl to enter the family) instead of CHANEL No. 5. Creative genius!
One of the famous Coco Chanel quotes featured at the party reads, "A girl should be two things: Classy and Fabulous". Well, they certainly pulled off that sentiment with this baby shower too! Read on for more gorgeous images (as captured by Alice Hu Photography) + party details & resources…
PARTY DETAILS from Kacee (the guest of honor!)…
"The theme was flirty, feminine Chanel no 5. I envisioned soft gray's and soft pinks with lots of ruffles! Food included tray-passed hors d'oeuvres of Bacon-wrapped Filet, Kobe Beef Sliders and Tomato Soup Shooters with Grilled Cheese Wedges. The remainder of the lunch included grilled veggies, summer cherry salad, chicken empanadas, fresh fruit and Caprese skewers. For drinks we had champagne and french pink lemonade. "

Reviews for Southwest Bean Soup
"Very good and very filling. I skipped the cilantro as my sons don't care for it."
"This is so yummy. My family loved it. I did use my own stock as I had some frozen, but I didn't have any cilantro on hand. (I'll be sure to pick some up next time.) I also added some leftover shredded poached chicken because it was in the fridge, but even without it the soup is great. As some other reviewers suggested, we topped this with sour cream and shredded cheese. This will be a regular addition to my soup recipes. It is perfect for cold fall and winter nights and it made a huge pot, so there was plenty leftover for the next day's lunch."
"This is a FANTABULOUS recipe!!! I am NOT a fan of beans at all, unless they are green beans HaHa but I loved this soup!! My Fiancee' Sam loved it even more than I did. He topped it with a little cheddar cheese and some sour cream, but since I am watching what I eat for bikini season here soon... I didn't and it was still great !! The only thing I did different was opted the green pepper for 1/2 red 1/2 yellow and 1 whole orange pepper because I hate cooked green peppers but I also added some crushed red pepper flakes to add spice to balance off the sweet taste of the extra peppers. Extra cumin, like a tsp, cause Sam and I love cumin (and it's good for your digestive system) and some more corn. I ended up having to add more beef broth to the left over soup, which was even better because it was fresher with new broth heated thru rather than left over broth that's been sitten there a day. Don't simmer it, but rather heat it up quickly as the broth gathers the flavors of the soup BUT that the veggies don't get all mooshy.I even got to share this with my soon to be in laws, who are SUPER PICKY about everything they eat... and they loved this too!! A+++ Thanks for sharing! =)"
"wonderful & so satisfying! I've lost 27lbs. &this recipe will be used to help me reach goal! thanks!"
"Everyone loved this soup we made and decided to drizzle corn chips on top, maybe not so healthy at this point ... But sooo good.."

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is a digestive disorder that is caused by gastric acid flowing from the stomach into the esophagus.
Gastroesophageal refers to the stomach and esophagus, and reflux means to flow back or return. Gastroesophageal reflux is the return of acidic stomach juices, or food and fluids, back up into the esophagus.
Gastroesophageal reflux is common in babies, although it can occur at any age. It is the most common cause of vomiting during infancy. It may be a temporary condition, or may be a long-term physical problem, often called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Gastroesophageal reflux is often the result of conditions that affect the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The LES, a muscle located at the bottom of the esophagus, opens to let food in and closes to keep food in the stomach. When this muscle relaxes too often or for too long, acid refluxes back into the esophagus, causing vomiting or heartburn.
As feedings are digested, the LES opens and allows the stomach contents to go back up the esophagus. Sometimes, the stomach contents go all the way up the esophagus and the baby vomits. Other times, the stomach contents only go part of the way up the esophagus, causing heartburn, breathing problems, or, possibly, no problems at all.
Some babies who have GER may not vomit, but may still have stomach contents move up the esophagus and spill over into the windpipe. This can cause asthma, pneumonia, and possibly even SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).
Babies with GER who vomit frequently may not gain weight and grow normally. Inflammation (esophagitis) or ulcers (sores) can form in the esophagus due to contact with stomach acid. These can be painful and also may bleed, leading to anemia (too few red blood cells in the bloodstream). Esophageal narrowing (stricture) and Barrett's esophagus (abnormal cells in the esophageal lining) are long term complications from inflammation.
The following are other common symptoms of GER. However, each baby may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of GER may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your baby's physician for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures that may be performed to help evaluate gastroesophageal reflux include:
Specific treatment for gastroesophageal reflux will be determined by your baby's physician based on:
In many cases, GER can be relieved through feeding changes, under the direction of your baby's physician. Some ways to better manage GER symptoms include the following:
Treatment may include:
Another type of medication your baby's physician may prescribe will help to empty the stomach faster. If food does not remain in the stomach as long as usual, there may be less chance of reflux occurring. A medicine in this category that can be prescribed is metoclopramide (Reglan®). This medicine is usually taken three to four times a day, before meals or feedings and at bedtime.
Many babies with GER will "outgrow it" by the time they are about a year old, as the lower esophageal sphincter becomes stronger. For others, medications, lifestyle, and diet changes can minimize reflux, vomiting, and heartburn. Surgery may be required in severe cases.

The holiday season is now in full swing! This is an exciting time for any candy lover as the sweets that come out for the Holidays are always interesting and delicious. Which is why I was super excited to hear from Hedonist Artisan Chocolates about reviewing some complimentary samples their Salted Caramels. It has been a few years since I tried and reviewed the Hedonist Chocolates's Holiday Truffle Collection. It was super delicious and awesome so I was most eager to give their Salted Caramels a try.
I first need to comment on the beautiful packaging that these Salted Caramels come in. It's simple yet so very stylish with the dark brown box and the simple golden rod yellow ribbon. It speaks of elegance with the subtle styling. Once the box is opened, the caramels are beautifully arranged in a tray that keeps them separated and safe. The milk and dark varieties are easy to distinguish, one is noticeable lighter in color. Each has salt sprinkled on top. They smell rich of chocolate, but I detect no notes of caramel in there.
Dark Chocolate Caramel: You immediately taste the salt on your first bite, which elevates the caramel into a whole new level of intensity. The sweetness of the chocolate and the butteryness of the caramel are elevated and the flavor is more grand. The richness of the dark chocolate delivers sweetness that isn't overpowering and mingles nicely with the salt. The buttery caramel it out of this world! It's smooth and not too sticky in texture. The flavor is complex, with the flavor rooted in butter accented with nice toasted notes. Again, mixed with the salt, just makes the flavor simply "pop". It's incredibly deliciousness.
Milk Chocolate Caramel: The salt really makes these chocolate incredible. The milk chocolate is sweet and creamy, and adds a lovely sweetness but not much chocolate flavor. The caramel is so delicious. It's buttery and sweet, with nice deep toasted notes that contrast beautifully with the salt. Because the milk chocolate isn't as flavorful as the dark chocolate, you can taste the caramel much better. I found that I got even more flavors out of the caramel when tasting the milk chocolate pieces. Along with the buttery ans toasted notes, I get a tad of smoke which reminds me of how toasted marshmallows smell. It's so a delightful play of flavor and texture as you eat it. These are meant to be slowly savored as the flavors are so wonderful.
This package also came with a surprise: Candy Cane Bark!
Gorgeous isn't it?
The slabs of bark are thick, as least a 1/4 of an inch. They're mainly bittersweet chocolate (55%), with white chocolate swirls on top and a generous coating of candy cane crumbles. They are very attractive!
Despite all the candy cane crumbles, this bar still smells of chocolate. It's a sweet smell too, full of cream, caramel and coffee. The flavor is a wonderful balance of peppermint and chocolate. This is an Andes Mint on super steroids. You first get the flavor from the candy canes, with their sweet and intense peppermint flavor. It's cool and refreshing and leaves a wonderful fresh flavor in your mouth. The chocolate is just luscious, it's creamy, sweet and incredibly chocolatey. It compliments the candy cane bits so well. I couldn't stop reaching for this bark one I opened the package, a sign that it is indeed irresistible.
I simply loved these samples from Hedonist Chocolates. They were really delicious and you could tell that they really used fresh, quality ingredients in making these chocolates. Both the Salted Caramels and the Candy Cane bark didn't last very long between my husband and myself eating them once I had my tasting notes for the review. I know several of my family members who are going to love these, and I plan to buy them some for the holiday season (some of them are caramel people). I'll buy myself another box of course too. Hedonist have really kept up the quality since I last sampled their chocolates, and I greatly look forward to when I can have some again!

Ammon Nets Three Assists as Men's Hockey Clips Brown 3-2
Box Score
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (2/14/14) – Senior Andrew Ammon assisted on all three Princeton goals as the men's hockey team defeated Brown 3-2 on Friday, Feb. 14 to snap a five-game winless skid.
Senior Andrew Calof pushed his point streak to five games with two helpers while freshman Colton Phinney made 36 saves in the win.
Princeton took a 2-0 lead and saw Brown tie the game in the second period on a penalty shot before going back on top with a power-play goal.
Freshman Hayden Anderson scored his second goal in as many games with Calof and Ammon assisting at 8:59 of the first. After getting a shot blocked on the left extended red, Calof skated up the ice and across the blue line. With Anderson left unguarded on the left point, Calof delivered the puck and Anderson whipped a shot over the shoulder of netminder Tyler Steel. It was the first time Princeton has scored first in a game since Dec. 29 vs. UNH.
A Brown goal near the end of the first was waved off after video review clearly showed the puck hitting Phinney in the chest and popping out to the right side.
Princeton had a couple more chances to expand the lead in the first. Senior Jack Berger nearly beat Steel after Steel tried to settle the puck behind the net but it was stolen by Berger. He tried for the wraparound but Steel was just able to get back into position to make the stop. Junior Tyler Maugeri had a nice chance when he stripped the puck and went in short-handed with sophomore Mike Ambrosia. The shot hit Steel in the shoulder but there wasn't enough room for Ambrosia to put away a rebound.
It was freshman Ben Foster that solved Steel for the Tigers' second goal at 5:07 of the second period. Freshman Marlon Sabo sent the puck in along the boards and Ammon collected near the right circle. He took his time coming off the boards, seeing that Foster was on his way. Ammon pushed the puck towards the right pipe and Foster redirected it five-hole into the back of the goal.
Brown got one back on its second goal review of t he night less than two minutes later. A shot by Matt Lorito was stopped and was about to drop in front of Phinney when Ambrosia and Mark Naclerio collided and the puck went under Phinney's legs and across the line. Initially waved off for a kick-in, the officials reviewed and called it a good goal.
A penalty shot by Lorito tied the game at 9:08 of the second. Lorito had a step on the Princeton defense and junior Aaron Ave gave a little hook and Lorito tried to go backdoor but the whistle was blown for the penalty shot. Incidentally the last two penalty shots Princeton has faced have been from Brown. Mike Condon '13 made a save on Bobby Farnham on Jan. 16, 2012. Since 1997-98 Princeton goalies have made four saves on five penalty shots.
Two minutes later Princeton regained the lead with a power-play goal by freshman Ryan Siiro. It was perfectly set up as all five skaters had successive touches. Ave sent the puck across the blue line to senior Alec Rush, Rush found Ammon on the boards, Ammon sent it behind the goal to Calof and Calof put it back into play for Siiro who was on the doorstep to send it five-hole.
Princeton took the 3-2 lead at the second intermission and the score would stand.
Brown pulled Steel for the extra attacker with 1:05 remaining but the Tigers wouldn't allow the goal and only gave up one shot. In fact, Princeton has not allowed an extra-attacker goal all season.
Princeton (5-19, 4-13 ECAC) travels to No. 13 Yale tomorrow night for a 7 p.m., game. Yale lost to Quinnipiac 4-0 this evening.

Global Conference - Rabat Round
16 May 2012 - 17 May 2012For this 1st edition, the Planetworkshops will maintain their identity, a friendly place of reflection on sustainable development issues and the necessary transformations of our societies; a platform of diverse actors; a transverse approach and the presentation of concrete and existing solutions.
Rabat - Morocco
Rabat - Morocco
Having for ambition to become a major event in Africa, the Global Conference - Rabat Round will gather during two days all the actors involved in the change for a sustainable society: opinion leaders, leaders of companies, public authorities, researchers, NGO, intellectuals, artists, experts, journalists and representatives of civil society.
In many respects, Morocco is a leader in sustainable development and the country represents today a real open-air laboratory of this new model of development. Renewable energies, conservation of natural resources, smart cities, sustainable mobility, waste management, sustainable agriculture or responsible tourism, here are some of the local stakes which will be discussed in Rabat on next May.
The green growth and its economic, social and human development potential, central themes of the next Rio+20 Conference, will therefore be at the hearth of the reflection during these two days.
Nationals of more than 30 countries will come to assert their peculiarity and their desire of a sustainable development applied with ambition to their respective territories, to mutualize the good practices and duplicate them all over the world. To make this event a real success, the Planetworkshops will lean on the expertise and the knowledge of Morocco of Mr. Albert Mallet, founder and organizer of the Forum of Paris and the Forum of Paris - Casablanca Round.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Fruit & Nut Trees
Garden Shopping by Mail and Web (page 2 of 3)
by National Gardening Association Editors
Catalog Savvy
Nothing beats experience, so order from a number of companies and compare their performance or ask other gardeners about their experiences. For a list of mail-order companies, the Mail Order Gardening Association, Box 2129, Columbia, MD 21045, publishes a Garden Catalog Guide ($2) with contact information for more than 120 of its members.
There are also Web sites dedicated to garden catalog listings. Cyndi's Catalog of Catalogs http://mailserver.cog.brown.edu/gardening/ lists more than 1,700 garden catalogs. The Plants by Mail FAQ http://pbmfaq.dvol.com/index.html site offers contact information for more than 500 companies and includes comments from fellow gardeners about their experiences.
Before you leap into the pages of a glossy catalog or jump on a Web site, consider your garden's growing conditions, what types of plants will thrive in your area, and how much space you have. No matter how tempting a photograph looks or description sounds, trying to grow a plant outside its USDA
Hardiness range or in the wrong location (full sun instead of shade) is a formula for failure.
After carefully reviewing your needs, do some comparison shopping. Check product availability, costs of similar plants, refund and return policies, and shipping fees. Here are additional tips for reading and ordering from a garden catalog or Web site.
* Check plant descriptions. They should be honest (no plant is perfect in every way) and easy to understand. Don't rely too heavily on photographs to indicate the actual color of a flower. Plant colors vary by planting conditions and individual varieties, and look different on a computer monitor. The plant hardiness range (usually listed as USDA Hardiness Zones 1 to 11), botanical name (so you get the exact plant you want), and basic growing requirements (sun, water) should be listed.
* Check how plants were grown. Were the plants nursery grown or collected from the wild? It's best to purchase nursery-grown plants to avoid depleting wild stocks of native plants.
* Contact numbers. Telephone numbers and e-mail addresses for customer service should be clearly visible. Company representatives should be attentive to your questions.
* Guarantee policies. The refund and return policies should be clear and obvious. Check for cut-off dates by which you have to request a refund or replacement.
* Ordering. Order early to avoid items being sold out, especially if they're new or unusual. Specify the size of plants you want. Smaller plants are less expensive but may take longer to fill in the garden. Indicate whether or not you want the company to substitute out-of-stock plants. Many companies will automatically substitute a similar plant if the one you ordered is sold out. Specify special delivery dates. Keep records of your purchases, and double-check them when your order arrives.

Would Randy Moss fit the Miami Dolphins?
The Miami Dolphins are actively looking for a receiver who can stretch the field, producing the chunk yards this offense desperately missed in 2010.
Randy Moss, a first ballot Hall of Famer, is probably the best stretch the field receiver in NFL history.
Moss is a free agent this offseason (when the offseason actually begins), but the Dolphins have passed on acquiring Moss' services TWICE already, and one of those "thanks, but no thanks" moments occurred last year when Minnesota became the second team to part ways with this diva receiver.
Moss landed with the Titans, which desperately needed help, and failed to contribute much, catching six passes in his eight games. Coincidentally, in his first game with Tennessee the Dolphins kept Moss from catching a pass.
Ironically, Vontae Davis handcuffed Moss twice last season, enhancing his reputation as a possible shutdown cornerback.
But then again, last season too many cornerbacks were able to stop Moss, who was once perceived unstoppable. In 2010, Moss contributed 393 receiving yards and five touchdowns off 28 receptions.
It was by far Moss' worst statistical season in a very impressive NFL career.
That raises these question: how much does Moss, who just turned 34, have left?
Has he lost a step, preventing him from getting behind safeties on that 9-route that's become his calling card?
Did the Patriots move on from this mercurial receiver just in time, and will he become as toxic in the next locker room as he was in Minnesota and Tennessee, where he allegedly called a local radio station to trash former coach Jeff Fisher?
Will adding Moss to the Dolphins' young and influential locker room turn out to be a mistake? Would his personality intimidate whoever the Dolphins' next quarterback will be? And could Moss work with Brandon Marshall?
Also, outside of money and opportunity, exactly what does this franchise have to lure Moss?
I bring these questions up because Moss' name got mentioned to me recently when a scout was describing the definition of a stretch the field receiver. Moss, who is reportedly aiming for a one-year deal that pays him roughly $6 million, sets the standard.
And he's also AVAILABLE.
But after 14 seasons in the NFL, and a career where he averaged 15.6 yards per catch and scored 153 touchdowns, is it time to take another pass on Moss, who is actively shopping for a new home.
"Wherever it is, I just want somebody to respect what I do," Moss told KFAN 1130-AM in Minneapolis during an interview this week. "The loyalty that I believe in, man, I think that teams that I play for … I just like loyalty, and I want that around me. Whoever wants me, that's where I'm going to play at."
Moss then pointed out his desire to play for the Patriots again.
"I think that just the success as a wide receiver and everything that the New England Patriots stand for, you know, I'm a big fan of Bill Belichick's," Moss said. "I really am, and not just on the field. I'm a fan of his off the field because, you know, the little grouchy man that you see on camera is not what you see off camera.
"And people say 'Well, Moss, you got traded to Minnesota from New England!' Well, I just told y'all this is a business, man. People have to understand the nature of the business. It's not just a sport. The sport comes along with the business. If you really don't think it's a business, then why they sitting there, fighting over $9 billion?"
So, would you kick Moss' tires if you were Miami?

Denver B-cycle Will Stay Open All Year
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Denver B-cycle today announced that it will keep stations running and stocked with bicycles through the winter.
"We have grown to the point where riders depend on the bikes as part of their daily transportation needs," said interim executive director Nick Bohnenkamp. "Whether you need a B-cycle for regular recreation, commuting or the occasional trip or errand, the B-cycle option needs to remain available. Our users are loyal and the growing membership base demonstrates enthusiasm for the system. Every Coloradoan knows that winter can bring stretches of balmy weather and there's no reason to limit choices for our members any month of the year. Thousands in Denver ride their bicycles all year long and Denver B-cycle needs to remain as a dependable, reliable part of the transportation landscape."
During the first three seasons, the shared bikes were removed from the stations from mid-December to mid-March.
This year, Denver B-cycle opened 29 new stations, bringing the network to 82 stations. The network provides shared bicycles from the Highlands to Baker, from Five Points to Congress Park. There are over 700 bikes in the system.
Users buy memberships on a daily, monthly or annual basis. The first 30 minutes of any ride is free but usage fees apply for rides longer than 30 minutes, no matter the membership level. Bohnenkamp said the membership rates would not change, even with the additional three months of available service.
The stations are currently available from 5 a.m. to midnight. Beginning on December 2nd
the system will run on a slightly shorter winter schedule, from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Regular operating hours will return in mid-March.
"The B-cycle system has been embraced by the city and we can feel the support growing every day," said Bohnenkamp. "We deeply appreciate the ongoing support of our partners, sponsors and members. This increase in service is a natural evolution in our growth as a dependable, reliable option for getting around town. We believe that shared bikes make for a more livable and environmentally friendly city and we think that's true whether the calendar says it's winter, spring, summer or fall."

Baseball Splits Sunday Doubleheader with Columbia, Lions Win Series
Box Score: Game One
Box Score: Game Two
The Princeton baseball team was unable to make up ground on first-place Columbia this weekend, going 1-3 in the series versus the Lions. The Tigers split Sunday's doubleheader, opening with a 2-0 shutout win behind Mike Ford's complete game, but were unable to find a final offensive rally in game two. In the series finale, Columbia managed to take the lead in the sixth and sustain its advantage for a 10-2 victory.
Turning Point of the Game: Princeton's offense capitalized early, taking a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first of game one. With the bases loaded off a pair of hits, a walk and an error with one out, Alex Flink was hit by a pitch to send home the game-winning run. Mike Ford and the defense held off Columbia's offense for the remainder of the game and a Danny Hoy sacrifice fly in the fourth added an insurance run.
Game two saw Columbia take a 2-0 lead in the third, before RBI singles from Ford and Steve Harrington tied things up in the bottom half of the frame. Princeton was unable to find another offensive rally, while the Lion offense managed to take advantage of its at-bats over the sixth through ninth frames. Columbia turned the momentum of the game around in the sixth with a pair of runs, adding two more in the seventh and four in the ninth.
Player/Pitcher of the Day: Mike Ford improved to 5-0 following his 2-0 complete game one victory. Ford tossed two strikeouts, scattered five hits and a walk in 29 batters faced over seven innings. He owns an Ivy-best 1.00 ERA and is one of the league's leaders in wins.
At the plate, Ford had three hits and an RBI. In game two, he tied things up, 1-1, in the third on a two-out RBI single to shallow center field.
Beyond the Box: In the sixth inning of game two, with two outs and a runner on first Johnny Mishu came to the plate. With a full count, Mishu sailed the ball deep down the right field line over the outfield fence. Instead of being a game-tying two-run homer, to knot things up 4-4, the umpires called the ball just foul and the outfielder eventually concluded the inning striking out.
On Deck: Princeton (12-25, 9-7 Ivy) hosts its final non-conference game this Wednesday, Apr. 24 at 3:30 p.m. versus local rival Rider.

PPHP provides structured treatment for patients with a variety of psychiatric or substance abuse symptoms who do not meet the acute care criteria. Patients can be referred directly to partial hospitalization or can be stepped down from inpatient treatment as part of their discharge plan. The partial hospitalization program includes group therapy, behavior modification and attention to any substance abuse issues.
This program is effective for those who do not require the inpatient setting, but who need more structure than outpatient office visits. Partial hospitalization often serves as the next step for those being discharged from inpatient programs. A highly skilled team of specialists offers the following:
Shortly after admission, each patient is evaluated to determine treatment goals. Patients participate in an intense schedule of weekday activities two to five days a week. These activities help them develop and practice skills necessary to cope with difficult situations or relationships. Family involvement is an integral part of the program.
Once patients meet their goals, they are discharged and may be referred to an outpatient psychiatrist or therapist or another community resource.
IOP offers another alternative to the more intensive programs of inpatient and partial hospitalization. This service offers transitional care to those who function more independently. The program includes individualized treatment plans, substance abuse education, family education and support groups. The treatment goal is re-integration into career, community and family life. The therapeutic programs of PPHP are incorporated into this service. As with other programs, there is ongoing assessment and consultation.
Those in the program spend three hours a day, three days a week with the multidisciplinary team of social workers, board-certified psychiatrists, and nurses. This allows patients to remain employed and live at home while getting the help they need.
Indicators for admission into the IOP include:

I've always admired the Les Anis de Flavigny line of candies on the store shelves. For the longest time I didn't even know what they were exactly, but their beautiful tins kept me eying them regardless. It was only a matter of time before I gave them a try.
Anis de Flavigny has been producing these candy pastilles for hundreds of years. Each are made using a traditional panning technique, where a single fennel seed is combined with a sugar syrup and dried in a rotating drum. This process is repeated for 15 days until one pastille is completed, so a lot of work went into each of these little treats! The tins are just as classic as the candies they hold; with scenes of two young people finding love.
There's a whole slew of flavors that you can find in the line: Mint, Orange Blossom, Violet, Licorice, Anise, and Rose. All of which strike me as very classic, refined, and romantic flavors. The one I was given is the Mint flavor, showing the two lovers idling by a freshwater stream.
Now, there's something to be said about mints and candy. Some mints, in my opinion, aren't very candy-like. Take Tic Tacs for example. Other mints, like Junior Mints, are more like candy to me. These fall more into the candy category to me, as they're very sweet and long lasting, and I certainly eat them for the flavor and not how fresh they make my breath.
The outside of these pastilles are very smooth and cool feeling. The first couple of pastilles I just sucked on and got a wonderful sweet minty flavor that lasted such a long time because these take forever to dissolve. I was surprised by how incredibly hard they are and was frightened for my teeth if I decided to try and chew one. As I gained more experience I got to a point where I knew it was safe to munch on them and my eating time was shortened considerably. I know, shame on me, but I'm a chewer all the way.
I'd pick these up over most other mints any day for many reasons. I'm also really drawn to the history, the flavor, and the design. Having a cute tin to keep afterward in a plus too. I'm happy to have finally tasted these and I looking forward to trying out the other flavors soon.

|Vandals balanced in mock game
MOSCOW, Idaho – The steady progression of the Idaho Vandals continued as the team marched onward toward its season opener at North Texas next Saturday.
Once again, during Friday's mock game, the offense showed balance, power and productivity, while coach Paul Petrino liked what he saw in the defense.
"We did some nice things today," said Petrino after the offense put up more than 700 yards for the second time in a row. "It looked like we had some nice runs. We had some play action passes.
"Our defense ran and tackled a little bit better at times."
The backs cranked up their productivity Friday with true freshman Richard Montgomery romping for 112 yards and senior James Baker going for 85 as the team tallied 315 on the ground to balance the collective 424 by the four quarterbacks.
Chad Chalich, a redshirt freshman from Coeur d'Alene, accounted for 325 of those off 17-of-20 passing and five touchdowns. Again, the quarterbacks spread the ball around with transfer Dezmon Epps catching four for 121 and senior tight end Michael LaGrone grabbing five for 61.
Junior Maxx Forde had eight total tackles – seven solo, with sophomore Ryan Edwards tallying two sacks.
"It was good work," Petrino said. "It was good work all the way around."

Public Understanding of Science, Technology & Economics
The Foundation has supported over 100 authors since 1993 in the research and writing of a wide range of books aimed at public understanding of science and technology.
Popular categories include: books that elucidate the scientific basis of issues that are often confusing, controversial, or unnecessarily obscure, such as George Church and Ed Regis's Regenesis, Richard Rhodes's Deadly Feasts, and Jared Diamond's Collapse; books that profile scientific and technological figures from varying angles but with an emphasis on the human story, such as Bernard Carlson's Tesla, Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin's American Prometheus, or Dava Sobel's Galileo's Daughter; books about the relevance of technology to daily life such as Henry Petroski's The House with Sixteen Handmade Doors, Brian Hayes's Infrastructure, and Jeff Hecht's City of Light; books that explore the connection between science, technology, and art such as Eric Kandel's The Age of Insight and Stanley Greenberg's Time Machines; books about the relationship between women and technology such as Theresa Riordan's Inventing Beauty and BettyAnn Kevles's Almost Heaven; as well as a popular college textbook with a science, technology, and business emphasis called Inventing America: A History of the United States.
The Foundation also supported a book series about great innovators, which features such titles as Richard Rhodes's Hedy's Folly about screen siren and technological pioneer Hedy Lamarr, Mark Kurlansky's biography of Clarence Birdseye, Birdseye, who patented our frozen food process, and Edward Ball's The Inventor and the Tycoon about Eadweard Muybridge and the invention of motion pictures.
The Foundation's Book program aims to reach a wide, lay audience.
"In Vitamania, award-winning journalist Catherine Price takes readers on a lively journey through the past, present and future of the mysterious micronutrients known as human vitamins -- an adventure that includes poison squads and political maneuvering, irradiated sheep grease and smuggled rats. Part history, part science, part personal exploration, Price's witty and engaging book reveals how vitamins have profoundly shaped our attitudes toward eating, and investigates the emerging science of how what we eat might affect our offspring for generations to come." more

Many women are "going green" in their search for alternative therapies for menopause-related symptoms. The North American Menopause Society (NAMS) is happy to offer a scientific guide to the garden, although we do recommend that you consult your healthcare provider to determine which products might be appropriate for you. Not all herbs are risk-free. The following herbal products are often used by women to ease various menopause-related symptoms. Most use is in the form of dietary supplements, not the plants themselves.
Black cohosh (Actaea racemosa, Cimicifuga racemosa)
This herb is the most widely studied for treatment of the most common menopause-related symptom, hot flashes. Although studies of its effectiveness in reducing hot flashes have proved inconclusive, some women report that it has helped them. A 2006 study found that a combination of black cohosh and St. John's wort was better than placebo in treating menopausal symptoms. The exact mechanism of action is unknown, although black cohosh appears to have little or no estrogen effects, which reduces concerns about its harm to hormone-sensitive tissue (such as the uterus and breast). Some experts believe longer studies are needed to ensure safety. Women should also be aware that black cohosh use has been associated with liver problems, although these occurrences were rare.
Red clover (Trifolium pratense)
In five quality studies, no consistent or conclusive evidence was found that red clover extract reduced hot flashes. As with black cohosh, however, some women claim that red clover has helped them. Studies report few side effects and no serious health problems with use. But studies in animals have raised concerns that red clover might have harmful effects on hormone-sensitive tissue.
Dong quai (Angelica sinensis)
Dong quai has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat gynecologic conditions for more than 1,200 years. The one quality clinical study of dong quai conducted to check if it could reduce hot flashes did not find it to be effective. (Some experts on Chinese medicine point out that the preparation studied was not the same as used in traditional Chinese practice.) Dong quai can trigger heavy menstrual bleeding and should never be used by women with fibroids or blood-clotting problems, such as Von Willebrand's disease, or by women taking drugs that affect clotting, such as warfarin (Coumadin).
Ginseng (Panax ginseng or Panax quinquefolius)
Research has shown that ginseng may help with some menopause-related complaints (such as mood swings) and with improving one's overall sense of well-being. However, it has not been found to be helpful for hot flashes. Women should exercise caution if taking anticoagulant therapy. Some experts contraindicate the use of ginseng with antihypertensives or stimulants, including dietary supplement remedies containing ma huang, ephedrine or guarana.
St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum)
St. John's wort is used by some to treat mild to moderate depression, anxiety and/or sleep disorders. A 2006 review of studies using St. John's wort for mood/anxiety disorders in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women showed significant improvement in five out of seven research trials. It should be taken with food to minimize stomach upset. It is also associated with fatigue and may increase sun sensitivity (so be sure to wear sunscreen and avoid sunbathing while taking St. John's wort). This herb interacts with several drugs; for example, it reduces the effectiveness of birth control pills.
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis)
This herb acts as a sedative and is used primarily to treat insomnia and nervousness. Studies have shown that valerian improves sleep quality without substantial side effects. Additionally, it does not appear to interact with alcohol to intensify drowsiness. The usual daily dose of valerian extract is 100 to 600 mg and of the crude root, 2,000 to 4,000 mg.
As with all therapies, use of herbs involves risk. The general public usually takes herbal therapies in the form of supplement pills, not as a preparation made directly from the herb by a trained herbalist. It is also wise to keep in mind that herbal supplements are not as closely regulated as prescription drugs. The amount of the herb used and its quality, safety, and purity may vary among brands or even among batches of the same brand. Herbal therapies may interact with prescription drugs, resulting in dramatic changes in the effect of the botanical, the drug, or both. To be safe, women should tell their healthcare providers about any herbal therapies they are considering and always stop these treatments at least two weeks before any planned surgery.

As always, much menopause information can be found at the NAMS website.

Supervisory management info session
Published on Friday, May 28, 2010
Western Technical College offers a Supervisory Management program that can be applied to a variety of career tracks. An information session about the program will be held Wednesday, June 16, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in room 102 of the Business Education Center, 405 8th St. N., La Crosse. The public is invited to attend this free event.
The Supervisory Management program is designed for people interested in acquiring or improving supervisory and leadership skills with a business emphasis. Students in this degree program are given tools to engage in the challenges facing today's workplace through leadership, quality, and safety. In addition, this program develops soft skills such as strong work ethic, positive attitude, effective communications, time management, problem solving, teamwork, valuing diversity, self-confidence, professionalism, stress management, flexibility, and adaptability.
There are three optional formats for completing the program: online, face-to-face, or blended ITV. Students can choose to take their entire degree in an online format with instructors from business and industry. The face-to-face format utilizes accelerated learning techniques that enable students to meet one evening per week for their core courses. The blended option combines online with the face-to-face format via Interactive Television (ITV). All three options are available at Western's La Crosse Campus this spring.

Contact Steve Bilsky via email
Now in his 19th year at his alma mater, Steve Bilsky has created a rich environment for student-athletes to thrive athletically and academically.
During his tenure, 89 Penn teams have earned conference championships in 22 different sports. Penn has been honored with more than 369 Academic All-Ivy honorees, 34 Ivy League Players of the Year, and 134 All-Americans.
To support that success, Bilsky has made efforts to secure the best facilities and coaching for Penn. Since raising $800,000 in 1994, Penn Athletics has nearly quadrupled the athletic department's annual Weightman Fund. In addition, Penn Athletics has built or renovated nearly 20 facilities, most recently the state-of-the-art George A. Weiss Pavilion which was completed in 2010, and Penn Park which was completed in September 2011.
In terms of personnel, the department has received specific donations to endow 10 head coaching positions as well as the Penn Relays directorship.
Bilsky has also raised Penn's profile nationally, as during his tenure the University has been the host institution for six NCAA Championship events.
In 1996, Bilsky formed the Penn Athletics Hall of Fame and inducted the first class; a total of seven classes have been inducted since then, most recently Class VIII in May 2012.
Before returning to Penn in 1994, Bilsky was executive director of the Department of Athletics and Recreation at George Washington University. Prior to that, he was assistant director of athletics at Penn (1979-83). His educational background includes a Master's degree in counseling psychology from the Oregon in 1975, and a bachelor's in economics from Penn's Wharton School in 1971.
A basketball standout, Bilsky was a three-time All-Ivy guard and captained a Penn team that was arguably the greatest in program history -- in 1970-71, the Quakers went undefeated through the regular season and NCAA Tournament before falling in the East Regional final. Bilsky is a member of the Philadelphia Big 5 Hall of Fame (1988), the Penn Athletic Hall of Fame (1998), and the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame (2002). He will be inducted into the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in April 2013.
Bilsky's wife, Sue, is a 1975 graduate of the Penn College of Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School of Education. She also holds a Master's degree from Wharton. Their son, Jeff, and daughter, Katie, both recently graduated from Penn, and Jeff is currently receiving his MBA at Wharton.

A 24-year-old woman and an 18-year-old boy were arrested Thursday by police investigating a residential burglary in Harrington in October.
Kelley L. Campbell of Harrington turned herself in at the Harrington Police Department headquarters at 106 Dorman St.
Police say Campbell and 19-year-old Harrington resident Theodore Shields broke out a window at a home on Meadow Wood Lane and made off with five weapons, including shotguns and a crossbow, as well as a television.
Harrington police announced they had Shields arrested at his home in the 6000 block of Milford-Harrington Highway on Thursday.
Shields and Campbell are each charged with five counts of firearm theft, second-degree burglary, conspiracy, criminal mischief and theft under $1,500.
Shields was released on a $12,000 unsecured bond, while Campbell was released on an $11,500 unsecured bond.
Harrington police also arrested 18-year-old Codi R. Richards on Thursday, following a search for the stolen weapons at his home on Fairgrounds Road.
While police did not recover the stolen firearms, they did reportedly find unidentified drug paraphernalia in Richards' bedroom.
Richards was issued a criminal summons for possession of drug paraphernalia and released, police said.

In general, do carbs make people sleepy? My wife and I started eating a little-to-no carb paleo diet about a week ago (lots of vegetables, fruits, meat), and we feel like we've already seen a change in our mood.
However, earlier today we decided to bake some sweet potatoes (lightly breaded in corn starch) because we love them, and they have more nutrients than your typical starchy food. A couple hours after eating them, my wife's stomach kept making noises (like a loud gurgle every couple minutes for a half hour), and she's feeling out of it and tired.
I'm curious, is this a typical reaction to carbs or starchy foods? We're definitely not planning on eating too many of them, but it was alarming to see her sudden change in mood and constant stomach noises.
