- Overview
- Benefits of Auditing
- Why Work With NSF?
- Services
NSF International can develop a customized audit program for you to ensure quality at each link in the supply chain. Armed with your specifications, our global network of auditors can audit your manufacturing and production facilities, warehouse and distribution centers and retail stores so you can be reassured the product that ends up on your store shelves meets your specifications.
For more information, contact us at email@example.com or +1 866.520.5224.
Benefits of Auditing
Consumers today are more aware of quality and contamination issues, so they want the same high levels of quality they typically get from leading national brands, in private label products. For private label products in the food, beauty, household and health categories, quality is especially critical.
NSF International's auditing services can help you ensure product consistency and quality at every step in your supply chain so the product that ends up on your store shelves is of the same high quality as the product made in the factory.
In addition, we make it easy to get a global view of your supply chain quality with NSF Online. This free online portal lets you track the results of your audits in real time, 24/7 so you respond to non-conformances quickly and precisely.
Why Work With NSF?
Save time and money. In addition to auditing your products against your specifications, NSF International can also conduct combined audits for GMPs, quality or environmental management systems and food safety services. By offering quick turnaround of audit results, you can keep a close eye on your supply chain and quickly respond to quality inconsistencies.
Beyond our strong presence in the U.S., NSF International's global network of auditors means we can be wherever you need us. We have the expertise to provide multiple audit services spanning across industries, from consumer goods to OTC's to personal care products. In addition we have the capabilities to implement these audits at each link in the supply chain, from manufacturing plants and facilities to distribution centers and retail stores.
Our audit services can help ensure the quality of your product isn't being compromised by a weak link in your supply chain. We offer the following audits:
Manufacturing/Production Facility
We audit manufacturing facilities to confirm that product quality is maintained during the production process. We can evaluate:
- Adherence to product specification
- Materials and material handling
- Production procedures, recordkeeping and facility maintenance
Warehouse/Distribution Center
To help identify safety and quality issues in your supply chain, we audit warehouse and distribution centers. Services include:
- Product rotations, storage and monitoring
- Self-inspections of the facility
- Disposal and documentation
Retail Store
Monitoring product quality doesn't end once a product reaches the store shelf. To ensure accurate representation of your product, we offer retail store audits to spot check your products at the critical point of sale and verify:
- Lot codes and expiration dates
- Packaging quality, defects and customer complaints
- Product consistency through random sampling and testing

15 orangutans that look like London Mayor Boris Johnson
14:05 06 May 2012
The re-election of Boris Johnson as Mayor of London was a serious political affair but some cheeky people couldn't resist using the occasion as an excuse to ape around.
A very funny picture gallery showing 15 orangutans that look like Boris was posted online at Buzzfeed.
Some of the apes featured really do bear more than a striking resemblance to the Tory politician.
London24 can't decide who comes off worst from the comparison – the orangutans or the Mayor!

The need for a big ground and an exclusive cricket facility necessitated the building of a cricket ground in Uppal, an eastern suburb of Hyderabad. Moreover the earlier venue - the Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium - was owned by the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh, giving the Hyderabad Cricket Association limited control over the ground. Stretched over 16 acres of land, the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium did away Hyderabad's reputation of being a high-scoring venue. The ground has had its share of controversy. The first came with the name, which the state government changed to honour a former Indian prime minister. The HCA had to pay out the contractors - Visaka Industries - after whom the stadium was originally named. Then, ten days before what would have been its first first-class match - between the Australians and Mumbai - the ground was deemed unfit to host a big match. But the stadium is now ready, a state-of-the-art facility, complete with floodlights installed in April 2008 in time for hosting the Deccan Chargers in the Indian Premier League.

Three Generations Top
My goal with this quilt was to create something that was both vintage and modern at the same time. I wanted it to look as though it owed something to every time period during which it was worked on. Basically, I wanted to span the last 50 years of quilting in this one single piece, and maybe use that to tell a story about the three women who worked on it. Lofty goals, and I'm not sure if I accomplished my mission, but you know? I love it just the same. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out. It's not exactly my usual style, but it's not exactly not my usual style either, if that makes any sense. Plus, it's colorful and fun and pretty and sentimental and will be a genuine family heirloom someday.
And it's clear that all of my stops and starts and pauses to regroup and redesign were entirely worth it. So I guess working on this quilt has been a lesson in trusting my gut. When my gut says I need to change something, usually my brain screams, "No way! Keep going! Just finish the freaking thing!" (Sometimes I think my gut is a better quilter than my brain. My brain always just wants to hurry up and finish, so I can move on to the next project that it's cooking up.) But this quilt shows that I'll be happier in the long run if I put in the extra hours, effort, and thought to make it right. Brain and gut need to work together for optimal results. : )
The quilt store is estimating that the long-arm quilter will be finished with it around Oct. 19. I need it no later than Oct. 21 to be able to give it to my grandma when I see her in person. So there is a glimmer of hope that it will be completely done, when I wanted it to be! I'm prepared for disappointment, but encouraged nonetheless. I'll post full details on this quilt (fabric, etc.) when I get it back from the quilter.
P.S. Check out my blog's snazzy new look! I figured it was time to settle in and hang some pictures on the wall in this bloggy home of mine.

Fabulous quilt AND bloggy look.

Um, yeah, I'm kind of in denial about that whole binding thing. : ) I've tried machine binding and I just can't seem to do it with any degree of neatness (certainly not neatly enough for an important project like this). I figure if I have to "give" it to her unbound, then take it back, finish the binding and ship it to her, I can. Not ideal, but better than shipping it to her sight unseen.
Thanks Angela! This career does have its perks. :) Thank goodness, since a high salary is not one of them.

New 'Iron Man' becomes biggest and boldest yet
Published: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 4:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 4:12 p.m.
When we last saw Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), he had just emerged from a portal to another dimension after saving New York from an alien threat in Joss Whedon's "The Avengers."
Want to See?
• 'Iron Man' is directed by Shane Black and stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Ben Kingsley, Jon Favreau and James Badge Dale. It is rated PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence throughout and brief suggestive content.
• It is rated three stars out of four.
• Opens Friday in theaters everywhere.
• Check out the movie news link under Entertainment at www.the-dispatch.com for show times and more information.
Because of this trauma, he's a changed man in Shane Black's "Iron Man 3," which picks up Stark's story where Whedon left off. While Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) runs his company, Stark buries himself in his work, tinkering with his endless array of Iron Man suits. His old pal, James Rhodes (Don Cheadle), is carrying out America's missions at home and abroad as Iron Patriot, a kinder, gentler rebrand of his old moniker, War Machine. But the world is a much darker place after the events of "The Avengers."
A terrorist called The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) has been indiscriminately bombing civilian targets in an effort to teach an insane lesson to the American people. But despite his public gloating over his terrorist activities, the methods of his madness remain unknown, with authorities unable to uncover any trace of the explosives that were used. When The Mandarin's attacks hit close to home, it becomes a personal vendetta for Stark, who sets out to put a stop to his evil once and for all. But in doing so, he uncovers a plot much bigger than he could have possibly imagined, one that will put not only his life, but the life of everyone he loves, in danger.
Things are a bit different in the world of Iron Man for this third outing (fourth if you count "The Avengers.") Director Jon Favreau has been replaced by Black, although Favreau still appears as Stark's faithful former bodyguard, Hogan. The biggest change, however, is the tone.
"Iron Man 3" is a much darker film than its predecessors, without sacrificing the humor we have come to expect from the series. While not quite as dark as Christopher Nolan's "Batman" films, Black brings something grittier to the table that is very interesting. It is especially timely coming out so close to the Boston bombings, as it deals very explicitly with a new form of terrorism in a world accustomed to real-life villains with larger than life presences — Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc.
Black takes us away from the "Rock 'em, Sock 'em" robots aesthetic of the first two "Iron Man" films and gives us something that is a bit more of a battle of the minds. Black also stages some of the series' most bruising action sequences, topping anything we've seen in the last two films and rivaling the large-scale destruction of "The Avengers." While Stark's mental state after the events at that film remain underdeveloped (they're more of a convenient plot point than character development), the film manages to portray a world of uncertainty and angst while still delivering something fun and entertaining.
This is biggest, boldest "Iron Man" yet. Marvel has kicked off Phase II of its Avengers films in grand fashion. It has everything the fans could want, and more, reminding us all why, out of all the Avengers, Iron Man remains on top.

Yest kasaniye! Progress M-63 (28P), approaching from below the station, docked flawlessly at the DC1 Docking Compartment nadir port at 9:38am EST, followed by docking probe retraction and hook closure ('sborka') after motion damp-out, while the ISS was in LVLH (local vertical/local horizontal) attitude. All Progress systems operated nominally from Automated Rendezvous start. (Launched on 2/5 (8:02am EST), the 28P resupply drone delivered about 2.5 tons of cargo for the ISS crews, including propellants for the Russian thrusters, fresh water, oxygen, food, spare parts, repair gear, life support and science experiment hardware.) Additional Details: here....
aturday = Docking Day. Happy Birthday, Peggy Whitson!
STS-122/Atlantis docked smoothly at the PMA-2 (Pressurized Mating Adapter-2) port at 12:17pm EST, eight minutes ahead of time, after successfully completing the RPM (R-Bar Pitch Maneuver) at 11:32am. The station now hosts ten occupants again as Mission 1E is underway. (The combined crew is comprised of ISS CDR Peggy Whitson, FE-1 Yuri Malenchenko, FE-2 Dan Tani, STS CDR Steve Frick, PLT Alan Poindexter, MS1 Leland Melvin, MS2 Rex Walheim, MS3 Hans Schlegel, MS4 Stanley Love, and MS5 L�(c)opold Eyharts who replaces Dan Tani as FE-2, while the latter returns on the Atlantis as MS-5.) Additional Details: here....
Ahead: Week 17 of Increment 16.
Mission 1E replanning by MCC-Houston, driven by the one-day delay of the first spacewalk, was completed last night, as follows:
Approved mission extension by one day (i.e., 12+0+2 instead of 11+0+2), resulting in 2/19 (Tuesday) as return date for Atlantis;
Limiting resource being oxygen (O2), under further discussion is the option to either extend by one more docked day or transfer the unexpended O2 to the ISS (current O2 margins are estimated to be 11+1+2 plus an additional 20-25 hours. These are still being refined given the insertion of the new FD4);
All FD 4 activities moved to FD 5. EVA-1 will be conducted by Stanley Love and Rex Walheim tomorrow, with Campout of the two tonight;
Today (FD 4) was replanned and includes 1.5 hrs of focused inspection (FI) of the starboard OMS (Orbital Maneuvering System) pod blanket that has a corner slightly peeled back (the FI, starting at ~ 2:15 pm EST, is planned for 90 min, with additional FI time available on FD 06 if needed);
Transfer status: 22% of transfer complete, 6 hours of transfer scheduled for FD 4, expect 35/40 lbs N2 transfer today, 3 CWCs filled.
Wakeup time for the ISS crew remains at 4:45am EST, with sleep time tonight 8:45pm. Same times for the Shuttle crew. Additional Details: here....
Mission 1E's EVA-1 was completed successfully by Stanley Love & Rex Walheim in 7hr 58min, accomplishing all its objectives.
(During the spacewalk, Walheim (EV1) & Love (EV2) prepared Columbus for unberthing and installation, hooking up electric cables, removing protective covers from the module's docking mechanism and equipping Columbus with the PDGF (Power & Data Grapple Fixture) required for grappling. They also started preparing the NTA (Nitrogen Tank Assembly) for removal, preparatory to replacement with a new NTA on EVA-2 (disconnecting electric cables and two ammonia flex hoses was deferred to Wednesday, but Walheim unfastened two of the four bolts holding down the NTA). Official start time of the spacewalk was 9:13am EST, about 25 minutes ahead of the timeline, and it ended at 5:11pm. Total EVA duration (PET = Phase Elapsed Time) was 7h 58min. It was the 102nd spacewalk for ISS assembly & maintenance and the 74th from the station (28 from Shuttle, 52 from Quest, 22 from Pirs) totaling 451h 11min, and the 6th for Expedition 16 (totaling 43h 19min.) After today's EVA, a total of 125 spacewalkers (94 NASA astronauts, 21 Russians, and ten astronauts representing Japan-1, Canada-4, France-1, Germany-1 and Sweden-3) have logged a total of 639h 33min outside the station on building, outfitting and servicing. It was also the 124th spacewalk by U.S. astronauts.) Additional Details: here....
Crew sleep cycle remains at 4:45am EST - 8:15pm for both crews.
Mission 1E's EVA-2 was completed successfully by Rex Walheim & Hans Schlegel in 6h 45m, accomplishing all its objectives and get-aheads.
(During the spacewalk, Walheim (EV1) & Schlegel (EV2) removed the new NTA (Nitrogen Tank Assembly) from the Shuttle PLB (Payload Bay), 'flew' it to the CETA (Crew & Equipment Translation Aid) cart for transfer to the P1 truss, installed it in place of the failed NTA, which they returned via CETA for stowage in the PLB, and performed Get-Aheads, viz.: Clean up Lab MMOD (Micrometeoroid/Orbital Debris Shield) & install Columbus Trunnion Covers.) Official start time of the spacewalk was 9:27am EST, about 8 min ahead of the timeline, and it ended at 4:12pm. Total EVA duration (PET = Phase Elapsed Time) was 6h 45min. It was the 103rd spacewalk for ISS assembly & maintenance and the 75th from the station (28 from Shuttle, 53 from Quest, 22 from Pirs) totaling 457h 56min, and the 7th for Expedition 16 (totaling 50h 04min). After today's EVA, a total of 127 spacewalkers (95 NASA astronauts, 21 Russians, and 11 astronauts representing Japan-1, Canada-4, France-1, Germany-2 and Sweden-3) have logged a total of 646h 18min outside the station on building, outfitting and servicing. It was also the 125th spacewalk involving U.S. astronauts.) Additional Details: here....
Crew sleep cycle shifted one hour earlier: 3:45am - 7:15pm for both crews.
Last night, Mission 1E was extended by one day (13+0+2), with landing now on Wednesday, 2/20, at ~9:03am EST (if at KSC).
Columbus final activation has been completed.
After yesterday's command queue lockup between the COL CCS (Columbus Orbital Laboratory Command & Control System) and the COL MMC (Mission Management Computer), final activation of COL data management systems was accomplished late last night by transitioning/swapping the primary & backup C&C MDM (Multiplexer/Demultiplexer) computers. (The MMC is the intermodule interface computer required between the US C&DH (Command & Data Handling) system and the COL DMC (Data Management Computer) which handles equipment monitoring) Additional Details: here....
ISS crew goes to sleep one hour earlier than yesterday: 3:45am - 6:15pm, Shuttle crew half an hour later. 3:45am - 6:45pm.
Mission 1E's EVA-3 was completed successfully by Rex Walheim & Stan Love in 7h 25m, accomplishing all its objectives and get-aheads.
(During the spacewalk, Walheim (EV1) & Love (EV3) transferred the European SOLAR (Solar Monitoring Observatory) and the EuTEF (European Technology Exposure Facility) to the COL EPF (Columbus Orbital Laboratory External Payload Facility), retrieved the failed CMG (Control Moment Gyro) for stowage in the Shuttle PLB for return, installed COL worksite interface fixtures and handrails, inspected a suspected sharp-edged MMOD impact site on an Airlock (A/L) handrail (#508), and inspected, photographed and took samples from the failed starboard SARJ (Solar Alpha Rotary Joint) race ring and covers not yet inspected before. Official start time of the spacewalk was 8:07am EST, about 28 min ahead of timeline, and it ended at 3:32pm. Total EVA duration (PET = Phase Elapsed Time) was 7h 25min. It was the 104th spacewalk for ISS assembly & maintenance and the 76th from the station (28 from Shuttle, 54 from Quest, 22 from Pirs) totaling 465h 21min, and the 8th for Expedition 16 (totaling 57h 29min). After today's EVA, a total of 129 spacewalkers (97 NASA astronauts, 21 Russians, and 11 astronauts representing Japan-1, Canada-4, France-1, Germany-2 and Sweden-3) have logged a total of 653h 43min outside the station on building, outfitting and servicing. It was also the 126th spacewalk involving U.S. astronauts.) Additional Details: here....

Dan Tani's 118th day in space (116 aboard ISS). Ahead: Week 18 of Increment 16.
Wake/sleep cycle shifted further back to prepare for 2/18 undocking: 1:45am - 4:15pm EST (incl. Eyharts), Shuttle crew: 1:45am - 4:45pm (incl. Tani).
CDR Peggy Whitson performed her final INTEGRATED IMMUNE blood collection, assisted by MS1 Leland Melvin, right before hatch closure. FE-2 Dan Tani will continue his saliva collections, both liquid and dry, and blood collections aboard the Atlantis all the way home FE-2-16 Leo Eyharts transferred his and Peggy's saliva return pouches and blood sleeves as well as Dan's saliva collection kit to the Shuttle for return. (Background: IMMUNE assessment, integrated with the Russian IMMUNO, is a 24-hr. test of human immune system changes, with the objective to investigate immune neuro-endocrine reactions in the space environment by studying samples of saliva, blood and urine using collection kits and the biomedical (MBI) protection kit, to develop and validate an immune monitoring strategy consistent with operational flight requirements and constraints. The strategy uses both long and short duration crewmembers as study subjects. The saliva is collected in two forms, dry and liquid. The dry samples are collected at intervals during the collection day using a specialized book that contains filter paper. The liquid saliva collections require that the crewmember soak a piece of cotton inside their mouth and place it in a salivette bag; there are four of the liquid collections during docked operations. The on-orbit blood samples are collected right before undocking and returned on the Shuttle so that analysis can occur with 48 hours of the sampling. This allows assays that quantify the function of different types white blood cells and other active components of the immune system. For cold storage, samples are secured in the MELFI (Minus-Eighty Laboratory Freezer for ISS). Also included are entries in a fluid/medications intact log, and a stress-test questionnaire to be filled out by the subject at begin and end. Urine is collected during a 24-hour period, conventionally divided into two twelve-hour phases: morning-evening and evening-morning.) Additional Details: here....

By Darcy Gruttadaro, Director, Child & Adolescent Action Center
The unthinkable Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy woke the nation up to the fact that more must be done to address mental health in communities across the country. Many have called on schools to play a bigger role, but schools cannot do this alone. They need support to better address the mental health needs of students. NAMI stands ready to help and calls for a commitment from schools in five key areas.
- Educating school staff on the early warning signs of mental illness and how to link students and families with services and supports. NAMI's Parents and Teachers as Allies program provides school professionals with the training they need to identify early warning signs. It also provides guidance on how to effectively talk with families about concerns. Learn more about how to bring Parents and Teachers as Allies to your community.
- Creating effective links between schools and the community mental health system. School-based mental health professionals, like counselors and psychologists, provide important support to students and families. However, schools need to establish a formal relationship with the community mental health system for students that require more intensive clinical services and support. There are model programs around the country, like a school-linked mental health program in Minnesota, which have improved in the early identification of mental illness, providing access to services and academic achievement. We need more schools to adopt these programs.
- Educating and engaging students in a discussion about mental health. Students learn about many physical health conditions in school, but often are uneducated in mental health conditions. We can change the conversation about mental illness and break down the barriers that prevent youth from seeking help by enriching the dialog about mental illness in schools. The more the school community talks about mental health, the more willing students will be to seek help. In September, NAMI is launching Ending the Silence as a national program. This program engages students in a conversation about mental health. Stay tuned for much more information from NAMI on how to bring Ending the Silence to your school.
- Training School Resource Officers (SROs) and others on effective crisis intervention and services to help prevent and respond to psychiatric crises. NAMI talked with a thoughtful group of SROs about their training needs in responding to students with serious mental health conditions. We chronicled their responses in a focus group report . We also developed a series of resources on how to bring Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training to SROs and communities to better address the needs of youth. Bringing CIT training to schools equips SROs with the tools they need to both prevent and respond to psychiatric crises.
- Talking with Families. Parents and caregivers are extremely knowledgeable about how to best teach and understand their child. The key then, is to create a relationship of trust and understanding between families and schools. This comes with mutual respect and open communication. When families and schools are aligned toward achieving common goals, everyone wins.
NAMI recognizes that schools will benefit greatly from receiving community support to better address the needs of students with emerging mental illness. The sooner that these students are accepted and linked with effective services and supports, the better. As this school year opens, NAMI stands ready to work with schools to ensure a brighter future for all youth.

|Vandal men take WAC crown
MOSCOW, Idaho – It was a championship kind of year for University of Idaho men's track and field.
Idaho men's track and field claimed its first outdoor team title since 2001 with a score of 219.5, while the Vandal women took second in an incredible effort with 133.5 points, despite competing without several of its top individuals because of injuries.
"It's just amazing," Idaho director of track and field/cross country Wayne Phipps said. "I thought we were a better outdoor team than we were an indoor one, but we ended up battling through some adversity early in the season and I didn't know if that was going to actually come to fruition.
"Everybody stepped up and the more they performed well, the more they believed we could win."
Senior Andrew Blaser scored a school-record 44 points, earned First-Team All-Western Athletic Conference honors in six different events and earned High Point Award and WAC Field Performer of the Year accolades.
"Things aren't always going to go the way you want, but adversity makes champions. It's been the emphasis on our team, just picking each other up and working together for what we want," Blaser said of the week. "Everyone from the freshmen through the senior class came out here and did exactly what we needed to do. We worked so hard together, day in and day out, and it's just the best feeling ever."
Blaser won the decathlon on Wednesday with 6,782 points, won the 110m hurdles on Friday with a career-best, wind-legal time of 13.98, took third in the 400m hurdles in 52.52 – a three-second career best – and finished third in the high jump (6-4), pole vault (16-0.75) and long jump (22-9) during the week.
His 110m hurdles time ranks third all-time at Idaho, while his 400m hurdles time is seventh-best in school history.
"It was unbelievable. How do you top that?" Phipps said of Blaser. "Field Athlete of the Year indoor and outdoor, High Point Award indoor and outdoor – and the thing that is just baffling to me is that I know he gets tired, but it never seems to affect him. Some of his best performances are in his 15th or 16th events of the week. He's a coach's dream."
Freshman Johanna Hocketstaller was named WAC Freshman of the Year after her outstanding week that included two All-WAC honors and points in four different events.
"It was one of the best competitions I've ever had," Hocketstaller said of her week. "I'm really happy and really glad to compete for the Vandals. It was an amazing week – I'm really tired, but I'm really happy to be able to celebrate now."
Idaho director of track and field/cross country Wayne Phipps was voted WAC co-Coach of the Year at the end of the meet.
While the men's team's 19-point victory left little drama overall at the end, there was plenty to go around on the meet's final day.
Senior James Clark was cleared for competition early this week after struggling with kidney problems all season and he won one of the tightest races in WAC history in the 800m when he out-leaned three other competitors for the gold.
"It was kind of a last-minute decision for me to compete, but once I stepped out on the track – that's why I fell in love with this sport – I just went out and left it all on the line," Clark said.
In a true photo finish, the difference between first and fourth in that event was 0.11 seconds and Clark edged Louisiana Tech's Alwayne Green by .003 seconds for the victory in the final race of his Idaho career.
"He's been through so much, and I think anyone else would have quit by now," Phipps said. "It was only a couple days ago that we decided it was okay for him to run and the text I got from him was, 'I want to score some points for the team.'"
"Nobody deserves that victory more than James Clark."
Freshman Ben Ayesu-Attah dropped more than a full second off his career best in the 400m with an upset victory in the event in 46.86 – the ninth-fastest time in Idaho history. He needed to do come up big after teammate Andrew Bloom was unable to start with a hamstring pull.
"I saw the empty lane and realized that Bloom wasn't in there, and then I saw Ben running right up with the Fresno State guy," Phipps said. "I hoped he could stick with him and maybe get second place and we'd only lose a couple points from going in seeded in third and fourth. I just couldn't believe that Ben was so strong in the finish. It was an amazing performance."
From a historical perspective, Phipps said he's very excited about the fact that Ayesu-Attah jumped into a top-10 list that features several Olympians, All-Americans and conference champions.
"When I first got here under coach Mike Keller, we had world-class sprinters and that dated back to the 1980s," Phipps said. "Our 400-meter list rivals a lot of the major programs in the nation, so for a freshman to break into that list is just incredible."
On the women's side, there were many standout performances, but none greater than senior Erica Digby, who doubled up with victories in the 1500m (4:29.92) and 5000m (17:14.44) and added a fifth-place finish in the 800m in career-best time of 2:13.21.
After already running the 800m and 1500m finals on Friday, Phipps said Digby wasn't even sure if she'd be running in the 5k until about 15 minutes before the race.
"It was amazing and very unexpected," Digby said. "I wasn't even expecting to be in the 5k in the first place, let alone win it. I haven't done a lot of 5k training, but I knew I had the speed to finish it, so I just kicked it with all I had."
Phipps wasn't shy about the fact that the Vandal women, competing without indoor All-American Hannah Kiser, WAC Championship meet record holder Lauren Schaffer, defending 400m hurdles champion Liga Velvere, and a handful of other strong performers, by far exceeded all expectation.
"The guys overshadowed the women with their win, but to be honest, our women out-performed our men," Phipps said. "The men kind of did what they were supposed to do coming in on paper, but we were projected to score 90 points and could have finished anywhere from fifth to seventh and we scored 133 points and finished second with such a small group. It really is amazing how well they competed this week."
Junior Mike Marshall started Idaho's day with a win, as he and sophomore Ugis Svazs took the top two spots in the men's javelin at 218-10 and 218-0, respectively. In the men's pole vault, sophomore Dylan Watts, freshman Matt Sullivan and Blaser all cleared 16-0.75 (4.90m) and Watts claimed his first career individual crown based on fewest misses.
In the men's shot put, top-seeded Andrey Levkiv, a sophomore, won his first career WAC crown with a toss of 56-5.75 (17.21m).
In all, the Vandal men claimed eight individual titles, 22 First-Team All-WAC honors and 17 Second-Team All-WAC honors. On the women's side, Idaho had two individual titles, 11 First-Team All-WAC honors and six Second-Team All-WAC awards.
While the team portion of the season is over, several Vandals will still continue on at the NCAA West Preliminary. The list of accepted entries will be posted this weekend.

Is it flyable?
On February 10, 2012, retired Vought employees officially rolled out the one-of-a-kind Vought V-173 Flying Pancake, following eight years of painstaking restoration work. The Flying Pancake dates to World War II when the Chance Vought Division of the United Aircraft Corporation built and flew the airplane to test Charles H. Zimmerman's theories about extremely low-aspect ratio wing design that allowed an aircraft to fly at very slow speeds. Among the airplane's novel features are the two large wooden prop-rotors powered by a pair of 80 HP Continental A-80 engines. More of the history and additional technical details about the Flying Pancake are available in the curatorial web essay.
Vought retirees moved the aircraft to Dallas, Texas, in 2004 for restoration. Early next month, the retirees will move the Flying Pancake to the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Love Field near Dallas and the museum will unveil the airplane to visitors on April 15. The National Air and Space Museum accepted the aircraft from the U. S. Navy Bureau of Weapons in September 1960 because the design approach to low-speed flight represented by the Flying Pancake was so unusual. The aircraft will remain on loan from our Museum to the Frontiers of Flight Museum for at least ten years. It is one of almost 30 Museum aircraft on loan throughout the United States.
Vought retirees carefully cleaned the cockpit, stuffed a new seat cushion with the kapok that had spilled from the original, and replaced three missing instruments but otherwise, they left the area untouched. The retirees carefully preserved original wear marks seen on the trim wheel left of the seat, the two rudder pedals shaped like stirrups, and various struts and braces. Vought test pilots Boone Guyton and Richard Burroughs, transatlantic flyer Charles A. Lindbergh, and other pilots made these marks while test-flying the V-173 during test flights totaling 131 hours in the air.
Russ Lee is a curator in the Aeronautics Division of the National Air and Space Museum.

Is it flyable?
Wow; I've been eagerly awaiting the restoration of this unique plane for years. They did an awesome job restoring the plane. I was hoping this aircraft would be on display at Udvar-Hazy as I don't have any current plans on visiting Dallas. Guess I'll have to wait a few years. Glad to see it restored for display though.
Steve, the airplane is complete and intact in every way except for fuel, engine oil, and battery but note that it is NASM policy never to fly the aircraft in our collections.
Rich, I hope sometime you can make it to Dallas to see the "Flying Pancake" at the Frontiers of Flight Museum. It is a wonderful venue in which to exhibit this interesting aircraft.
BTW, It was known as "The Flying Flapjack" not pancake.
Amazing! An absolutely beautiful job!
Congratulations! This is a wonderful addition to the historical record of flight.
My father-in-law, Weldon George, now 95 and alive and well was a Chase Vought test pilot during the testing of the Flying Pancake. Although he did not personally fly the aircraft he knew all the pilots who did. He is a wonderful story teller, lives in Texas and Lord willing I will have him visit after April 15th.
Very happy to see this rolled out. For years, I thought the original had been completely destroyed. Glad I was wrong.
The restoration is such a brilliant idea, aspiring/new pilots can still have the chance to see The flying pancake.
flapjack people. I know we can do it.
Anyone know how to get flight data?
Congratulations! An absolutely beautiful job!
Too bad they didn't think to preserve the full-sized fighter prototype.
I worked at Vought Aircraft in Dallas for 20 years and was able to see the V117 when it came in.It was in pretty bad shape.All the fabric was split and falling off.As far as I know. There were 3 XF5U that were built late during the war.By the time they were complete the war ended and the defense department ordered that they all be destroyed because there was no longer a need for them.They never left the ground.What a waste of research and technology that I'm sure they wished they would have saved in hind sight.
The XF5U project was the project created by Charles H. Zimmerman to build a navy fighter with a low wing aspect ratio, this project was called the 'Flying Flapjack' the V-173 in this article was built as part of this project and that itself was nick named the 'Flying Pancake' this was a proof of concept aircraft, the XF5U 'Flying Flapjack' was the actual project destined to become a fighter – none of these survive today.
Congratulations to all the diligent renovators. Your time, effort, and patience has produced another reawakened historic bird from our past. Thank you!

I think that is really cool. It looks like they did an excellent job.
It would be cool to see a flying replica of that plane.
I Am pretty happy they named it for a flying pancake,but the idea was brilliant.
I'm Very proud of what they made.
The Cockpit is really cool!

Comments about SPORTS AUTHORITY Score Right Line-Up Pad Holder:
I bought the line up cards last year without the protective cover, and found my writing going through too many carbon copies. I also ended up throwing away too many because they got torn up when I threw them into my ball bag with all it's wear and tear. Saw these this year and loved the fact the papers were protected, AND especially that there was a hard plastic flap inside which could easily be placed underneath ONE set of carbon copies, saving me from writing through those behind. Would buy these again in a heartbeat! Was only $1 more for the cover than just the basic sheets, and I completely thought it was worth it.
Comments about SPORTS AUTHORITY Score Right Line-Up Pad Holder:
These are ok but I wish they carried Glovers line-up cards. This is a pack of just flimsy sheets. I prefer the hard last card of glovers

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum celebrates the Beatles Film Help!, their second feature-length film
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum pays homage to the Beatles' impact on our culture with a new exhibit that commemorates the group's classic 1965 movie, Help!
Help! Behind the Scenes of the Beatles' Movie opened with a members-only reception on November 16, 2007. The exhibit, which is timed to the November 6 release of the film on DVD, includes many never-before-seen artifacts and set photography shot during the making of the movie.
Help! follows in the great tradition of classic comedy chase movies. In this instance, John, Paul, George and Ringo find themselves being pursued across the world by not one but two groups of fanatics with separate agendas. Ringo possesses a ring with a large red stone set in the middle, sent to him by a fan. The first group of fanatics are cult followers of the Goddess Kaili led by Swami Clang (Leo McKern), including High Priestess Ahme (Eleanor Bron); and the second group are comprised of two scientists named Foot (Victor Spinetti) and Algernon (Roy Kinnear) who have become involved, being called in by the Government to try and remove the ring from Ringo's finger.
These cult followers and the two scientists frantically pursue the Beatles first through London, then up the snow-covered Austrian Alps to Buckingham Palace, across Salisbury Plain and finally along the sandy beaches of the Bahamas with a Scotland Yard Police Superintendent (Patrick Cargill) in hot pursuit.
The film features performances of 7 classic Beatles songs. "Help," "You're Going To Lose That Girl," "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away," "Ticket To Ride," "I Need You," "The Night Before" and "Another Girl."
"We've tried to capture the zany spirit of the Beatles' second movie in this exhibit," said Jim Henke, vice president of exhibitions and curatorial affairs for the Museum. "We were fortunate in that the Beatles' organization Apple Corps had great archives of material from the filming of the movie, and they have generously loaned much of it to us for the exhibit."
The exhibit features George Harrison's original script for the film, and a reproduction of Richard Lester's working script with handwritten changes, various shooting schedules and call sheets, posters, tickets to the U.S. premiere of the film at the Beacon Theater in New York City, press kits and promotional items. It also includes costumes worn by the Beatles in the film and instruments played in the film.
"We've been visiting the Rock Hall for three years, about two times per year. Your displays are fabulous and we learn something new each time we're here...It's even allowing us to teach our 9-year-old son about all music...So do we think it's worth a three-and-a-half-hour drive from Dayton, Ohio in the pouring rain? You bet! Rock on." "Wow - This is the music of our lives. This place is awesome - extremely impressive. We grew up on Alan Freed, Bandstand and Cousin Brucie. Keep up the good work - we'll be back."

More than any other artistic entity, the Beach Boys created the iconic vision of California as the Promised Land for those who would revel in youth, surf, sand, and rock and roll. This exhibit explores their formative years through never-before seen artifacts from the Wilson family.

If you haven't checked out "Movies Out Loud" yet, do yourself a favor and do so on Thursday night at the Plaza Cinema Cafe. You won't stop laughing — I promise.
Voted by the Orlando Weekly as "Best Example of Talking Over A Movie Being A Good Thing" and a big thumbs up from me on this blog, the monthly "Movies Out Loud" takes camp classics and adds in the hilarious commentary from local comedian Jeff Jones and Miss Sammy (the drag persona of Sam Singhaus).
Think "Mystery Science Theater 3000" but way more outrageous.
Tomorrow night's victim is Russ Meyer's "Faster, Pussycat! Kill … Kill!" and there will be a happy hour before the movie that will include $15 select beer buckets. Tickets into the show are $10. Next month will be "54."
The happy hour is from 7 – 9 p.m. with the movie playing from 9-11 p.m. The Plaza Cinema Cafe is at 189 S. Orange Ave. in downtown Orlando; call 321-558-2878 or go to watermarkonline.com/movies-out-loud

Seattle, Wash. – The University of Arizona Wildcat No. 8 men's and women's track and field teams concluded competition at the UW Invitational in Seattle on Saturday. The meet was held at the University of Washington's Dempsey Indoor Track. The Wildcats sent a group of distance runners along with a sprinter and thrower.
Senior Lawi Lalang won the men's 3,000-meter race invitational section with a time of 7:44.20. That time is a meet record and is also No. 1 in the country this year. The No. 2 time in the country this year is 7:51.48 (altitude adjusted). In Saturday's race, the second-place finisher clocked a time of 7:59.11. Lalang is the defending NCAA Champion in the event and it is the second-fastest 3K in his career. His personal-best time of 7:42.79 is also the school record.
Junior Kenji Bierig also ran in the 3K invitational section, he clocked a time of 8:22.10 and earned a 22nd-place finish overall. Sophomore Jonas Legernes' time of 8:27.30 was good for 26th place overall.
In the women's 3K invitational, freshman Maria Larsson earned a 12th-place finish with a time of 9:23.21 in her Arizona debut on the track. Junior Stephanie Bulder clocked a personal-best time of 9:36.86. Bulder's previous personal best was 9:43.49. Bulder took 16th place overall in the 3,000-meter race.
Senior Meg Bellino clocked a time of 2:10.86 in the 800-meter run, good for 12th place in the invitational section. In the women's mile invitational section, junior Kate Penney clocked a time of 4:52.92 and earned an 18th-place finish overall. Freshman Kayla Ferron's time of 5:02.90 was good for 25th place. On the men's side, junior Sam Macaluso clocked a personal best, running the mile in 4:05.50 and taking 13th place. Freshman Matthew Beer's time of 4:14.37 earned him a 21st-place finish. In the open 800-meter run, senior Taylor Cole clocked a personal-best time of 2:19.92, good for 21st place.
Senior Germe Poston ran in the 200-meter dash on Friday night and she clocked a time of 24.93, good for third place overall. On Saturday, Poston clocked a time of 7.64 in the preliminary round of the 60-meter dash. That time was fifth overall and qualified Poston for the final. Poston took seventh place in the final with a time of 7.66. Junior Daniel Whitham had a toss of 48-9.5 (14.87m), earning a 17th-place finish.

If your man needs help not acting old – and he just turns the TV up louder whenever you try to tell him so – here's a guide you can print out and, if necessary, tape to the TV or computer screen.
1. NO, YOU CAN'T HAZ CONVERTIBLE. OR MOTORCYCLE. What is it about turning gray and going bald that makes a guy hanker for a sportscar? This is one of the (many) cases where trying too hard to look and feel young just makes you feel older. And that goes double for motorcycles.
2. DON'T BE THE BIG BOSS. In the workplace, you've got to stifle your old-school macho impulse to push everybody around, even if you actually are the boss. Effectively managing the young involves a lighter, more indirect touch. And if you're tempted to fire them, don't confront or scream: Just quit responding to emails.
3. FOLD THE CLOTHES. Sure, this tip is self-serving, but it's only the most determinedly old-school guys who still refuse to do housework, and I'm not just talking manning the barbeque or throwing your own laundry in the washing machine and then expecting it to get itself back folded in your closet. Take full responsibility for half the housework, period.
4. NO DAD JEANS. Mom jeans have a male equivalent: baggy, high-waisted, short-legged, purchased on sale for $19.99. If you love jeans, buy yourself a decent modern version – or squeeze back into those authentically weathered Levis you wore to Woodstock.
5. STEP AWAY FROM THE GIANT PUMPKIN. Middle-aged guys have a disturbing tendency to take up odd and all-absorbing habits. Tracking down every version of every song ever recorded by the Grateful Dead, for instance, or mountain-biking to the mall. Baking authentic Indian breads, or growing giant pumpkins. If this is you, go back to watching football and downloading porn like any normal younger guy.
6. . . . AND THE WATERMELON. Maybe you haven't caved in and ordered the Viagra prescription yet, but you may be seeking out more natural forms of, ahem, stimulants. Like watermelon. And the above-mentioned porn. Not that there's anything wrong with that, as long as you haven't overlooked real love and great sex as erotic inspiration.
7. REAL MEN DO SO EAT QUICHE, AND BROCCOLI, AND TEENY TINY CARROTS. If you haven't renovated your diet since the days when Mom's pot roast was your favorite food (and you insisted your wife learn how to make it, complete with butter-larded mashed potatoes), it may be time for an upgrade. Learn to love veggies, salads, whole grains, seafood. And save the pot roast – like the six-pack and the hot fudge sundaes – for special occasions.

So I've been frequenting City Greek Express lately. Here's are five reasons why you should too.
1.The 4-inch Gyros
OK here goes. I traveled around Greece way back when Clinton was in the White House (they liked him over there because he could play the saxaphone) and ate a lot of Greek street food because I was broke. What we'd call gyros here in the land of the free, home of the brave are actually gyros on steroids. In the motherland, souvlaki stands serve up warm, several-bite size rolls of yumminess. You order two or three instead of one gargantuan doner gut bomb like you find at most of the Greek fast food joints around here. At City Greek they're just the right size, you don't feel like you're swallowing a fist of meat. Yeah. I said it. Fist. Of. Meat. And they're made to order, fresh. Each little one. Bonus: They only cost $3.
2. The Salad.
The Greek salad at City Greek, is also only $3 and it is huge! It comes chock full of feta, cherry tomatoes, cukes, red onions and fresh greens with minimal ice berg filler. And this is the "side" salad.
3. One Side Salad and One 4-inch Chicken Gyro...
And you have yourself a tasty, nutritious lunch my friend. All for about $6.
4. It's a Cool Place to Hang Out.
The localy ownded joint, is a joint. People are hanging around, reading the paper, the Food Network is on the giant TV (on mute) they serve beer (for the night time) and you get to sit at this nice wood bar and chat with the guy cooking your food. It's, you know, the exact opposite of every fast food joint in town.
5. And Then There's This Wheel.
If you're a member of City Greek's loyalty club you get five percent off of every purchase. Really. And you get to spin the wheel on every visit. I won some free fries the other day (which kind of blew the healthy have-a-salad-and-a-small-chicken-gyro thing I'm going for. But hey! Free fries.

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests
Rational approaches to immune intervention in neoplastic and infectious disease.
Key words: Immune regulation, antigen design, vaccine development, cancer immunotherapy, HIV, HPV.
Description of Research
The research performed in the Paterson laboratory is dedicated to harnessing the immune system to provide cures for, or protection against, neoplastic and infectious disease. There have been enormous advances made in the last few years in our understanding of the molecular and cellular machinery that renders proteins immunogenic. In our laboratory, we are applying this knowledge to the development of strategies to enhance the immune response in the design of more effective vaccines against viral diseases, such as HIV, and against tumor cells. To do this we are using a facultative intracellular bacterium, Listeria monocytogenes, which has the unusual ability to live and grow in the cytoplasm of the cell. Our laboratory was the first to show that this bacterium could be used to target antigens to the MHC class I pathway for antigen processing with the induction of cytotoxic T cells and has pioneered the application of this organism in vaccine development over the past 15 years. We have shown that recombinant forms of this organism which have been transformed to express viral antigens from influenza, HIV and SIV are excellent vectors for inducing cell mediated immune responses both parenterally and at mucosal surfaces. We have also applied this technology in the development of cancer vaccines that result in the induction of potent cell mediated immunity that can eliminate established macroscopic tumors even in the face of profound immune tolerance to the tumor-associated antigen. In other studies, we have discovered that fusing an antigen to some bacterial proteins enhances its immunogenicity. This finding opens up novel, and perhaps safer, avenues to cancer immunotherapy. We are currently looking at a number of different approaches to carry these fusion proteins to the immune system for cancer immunotherapy. Cancers to which we are directing our various technologies currently include cervical cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, melanoma and lymphoma.
Rotation Projects for 2006-2007
1. The role of the Listeria's hemolysin in initiating a protective immune response.
2. Mechanisms of CTL Tumor Infiltration.

Magnificent St. Lucia is distinguished from its neighbors by the Pitons—the twin peaks that soar nearly half a mile above the ocean floor on the southwest coast. Nearby, a "drive-in" volcano fosters healing sulfur springs that have rejuvenated bathers for nearly three centuries; not surprisingly, the island's finest hotels reside here, with sybaritic spas overlooking volcanic-sand beaches. Two additional resort areas further north also beckon visitors: All-inclusive beach resorts concentrate around Rodney Bay, while the deep harbor of Marigot Bay draws a yachting crowd. In between, a lush interior of towering mountains, dense rain forest, fertile green valleys, and acres of banana plantations await exploration.
Reasons to Go
The Beauty: Magnificent, lush scenery makes St. Lucia one of the most beautiful Caribbean islands.
The Romance: A popular honeymoon spot, St. Lucia is filled with romantic retreats.
Indulgent Accommodations: Sybaritic lodging options include an all-inclusive spa resort, a posh dive resort sandwiched between a mountain and the beach, and two picturesque resorts optimally positioned between the Pitons.
The St. Lucia Jazz Festival: Performers and fans come from all over the world for this musical event.
The Welcome: The friendly St. Lucians love sharing their island and their cultural heritage with visitors.
When to Go
The high season runs from mid-December through mid-April and during the annual St. Lucia Jazz Festival and Carnival events; at other times of the year, hotel rates can be significantly cheaper.
