For much of the season, Isa Abdul-Quddus and Rafael Bush shared a spot on the sideline next to each other. When the two backup New Orleans Saints safeties weren't running down the field covering kicks as part of the team's special team units, they would spend their time taking mental notes, biding their time.
As the weeks rolled on, it appeared neither would get much of a chance to make an impact, at least not defensively. But after starting free safety Malcolm Jenkins, who was placed on injured reserve last week, went down with a hamstring injury in the first half of the Saints' 52-27 loss at New York on Dec. 8, both Abdul-Quddus and Bush flashed signs of their play-making ability.
Abdul-Quddus and Bush, both former undrafted free agents, have combined to record 14 tackles and three interceptions the last two games, with Abdul-Quddus intercepting a pass in each of the last two games and Bush making his first career pick in last week's 41-0 victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"For both of us to go out there and make plays, I think that gave the coaches confidence in the young guys," said Bush, who returned his interception 40 yards. "We've been preparing so hard all year we just had to have that mentality to take advantage of our opportunities. I'm excited for him to go out there and make plays and I'm pretty sure he's excited for me."
"It feels pretty good," Abdul-Quddus said. "It came in an unfortunate way because Malcolm got hurt but I'm enjoying the reps. Before that I was taking mental reps on every play, making sure I knew what was going on. Malcolm has been helping me out a lot, helping me make sure my eyes are right. It feels good to be out there."
With Jenkins having been placed on injured reserve, Abdul-Quddus, a second-year player, is slated to make his second start of the season at free safety when the Saints (6-8) play at the Dallas Cowboys (8-6) on Sunday.
Before Abdul-Quddus' interceptions in back-to-back games, the closest he had come to spending time in the spotlight came last season when his vicious hit on New York Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks dislodged the football from the receiver's grasp and ignited the Saints' sideline for the pass breakup.
While the hit drew a flag, it also served notice that Abdul-Quddus was capable of making plays.
"After that I guess I was labeled as a guy who was just a hitter who couldn't play the ball," Abdul-Quddus said. "So I was glad I got to show them I could actually catch the ball and make picks."
Bush, a third-year player who started his career toiling on the roster of the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons before being signed at the start of the season by the Saints, is expected to see plenty of playing time in the Saints' sub-packages.
Both players know they likely wouldn't have been given the opportunity to play defensively if they hadn't caught the coaching staff's attention first on special teams.
Bush, who ranks second on the team with 11 special teams tackles and a fumble recovery, serves as the outside gunner on the Saints' punt coverage unit and one of the team's key kickoff coverage guys. And Abdul-Quddus, who has seven special teams tackles, has been a special teams mainstay for the team the last two seasons, ranking as one of the Saints' most productive kick coverage players.
"I think this about both of those guys," Saints interim coach Joe Vitt said. "I have never seen a good defensive player become a really good defensive player until they made their bones on special teams. I think when you have a young defensive player and all of a sudden you see him on the coverage teams, you see him on the return teams, you see the courage, you see the play making in space, now it is the natural evolution to go play defense or offense.
"I think there is a progression, especially with a safety or a linebacker, that if you are a really good special teams player and all of a sudden you are put in the role of playing defense, it's not that big of a deal. You've made plays in space, you've made tackles in space, you've tracked the ball, the ball carrier, the proper angles. I think that's what those guys have done. They have played excellent special teams for us and they have evolved now to the next step."
Both players said they understand the importance of them making the team because of their ability to cover kickoffs and punts, but they also said they are happy the coaching staff considered them in the team's defensive game plan.
"We see all of our guys as defensive players," Saints defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo said. "(Special teams coordinator) Greg McMahon gets them on special teams and they play a certain role, but everyone one of those guys, I think we have nine of them, ... and they know they are just an ankle turn away from being in there and trying to help this football team win. In this league, when you aren't the guy getting 90 percent of the reps during practice to get ready for an opponent, you have to do it mentally. And hey when the gun sounds and they have to go out there, they have to perform and both of those guys went out there and did that (against Tampa Bay)."
Now the key will be for both to continue to grow in the Saints' defensive system. Spagnuolo scheme puts a lot of pressure on safeties to help out in the running game and the passing game.
Both players said they'll be up for the challenge. They'll continue to prepare in the meeting room and on the practice field.
"You have to prepare yourself like a starter," Bush said. "You have to have that next-man-up mentality. It's a long season. Injuries happen. So you can't be down on yourself because you are not playing as much because you never know when your time will come. You want to be ready when your time is called. You don't want to go out there and have a brain fart and make so many mistakes that the coaches won't have any trust in you."

Felix Magath is confident that his Fulham troops can conjure of a valuable victory on Saturday when they host relegation rivals Norwich in their most important game of the season. A win on home soil will reduce the gap between the struggling sides to just two points, with four games to play. However, a draw will keep them between four and five points adrift of safety (depending on other results), while a devastating defeat could effectively end any hopes of survival.

Ray Bryant: Big Buddy
Big Buddy
Ray Bryant (piano)
Meet Betty Carter and Ray Bryant / Ray Bryant Trio: Little Susie (Collectables COL-5676)
Ray Bryant (piano),
Tommy Bryant (bass), Eddie Locke (drums).
Composed by Ray Bryant.
Recorded: New York, January 19, 1960
Rating: 89/100 (learn more)
Ray Bryant's lovely touch, fleet technique, unerring sense of swing and impeccable taste put him in the distinguished pianistic lineage of Earl Hines, Teddy Wilson, Nat Cole, Hank Jones and Tommy Flanagan. What he had in common particularly with Jones and Flanagan (Ray's contemporary) was a self-effacing gentlemanliness at the keyboard. Even in a trio context where he was clearly the center of attention, Ray never domineered, always keeping his piano an integral part of the unit. Which is not to say that he lacked excitement. It's just that his dynamism was organic, growing out of the group instead of being imposed on top of it. Case in point: "Big Buddy," a fast blues that Ray builds from the ground up. After digging the foundation of his older brother Tommy's bass, Ray lays one brick-solid solo upon another. Trading fours with the crisp brushwork of drummer Eddie Locke opens the windows, letting in natural light. Finally Ray tops off his fine masonry construction with rolling tremolos ŕ la Oscar Peterson. Cool in the summer, warm during winter. Everyone's comfy at Ray Bryant's house.

Nestle rolling out bottles made from 50 percent recycled PETComments Email Print
Nestlé Waters North America Inc. is rolling out water bottles made with 50 percent recycled PET, the company's latest effort in sustainable packaging.
The half-liter ReBorn bottles will be used across three Nestlé brands — Arrowhead, Deer Park, and premium water brand Resource — and will be labeled to remind consumers to recycle, said Jane Lazgin, director of media and corporate communications, by phone.
"It's designed to be a sort of reminder that these are products from nature and we should be responsible… all the way through," she said.
According to Californians against Waste, most of the recycled content will be provided by CarbonLite Industries LLC, a recycler in Los Angeles.
The bottle looks no different than a bottle made with virgin PET resin, is just durable and functional, and meets all FDA standards and definitions, Lazgin said.
They're "a reminder to recycle, because that's the only way to get more supply to make this recycled package," Lazgin said.
Consumer will often ask why bottles aren't made entirely of recycled PET, or why more products don't use recycled material. The answer is supply, she added.
According to Californians Against Waste, California collects approximately 70 percent of plastic beverage bottles for recycling. More than 200 million pounds of recycled PET is processed and sold by California companies, with potential capacity of 300 million pounds.
The ReBorn bottle may be a reminder, but it's also a milestone.
In 2007, the company redesigned and reengineered its bottles into their current design, named EcoShape, which features a narrow waist and stronger shoulders to support using only 9.2 grams of material.
"I'm not sure we can get much lower than that," Lazgin joked.
In a news release, Californians against Waste said the ReBorn bottles require 15 percent less energy to produce. Lazgin could not confirm that information.

St. Mark will host its annual MLK celebration, "Keep the Dream Alive" for the last time on January 18, 2010 at 3:00 pm, 3500 Montgomery Rd.
By next January St. Mark, Evanston, St. Agnes in Bond Hill, St. Andrew, Avondale and St. Martin de Porres in Lincoln Heights will have merged to form one parish due to reduced attendance and lack of priests. Bro. Hugh Henderson, CPPS, "Keep the Dream Alive" organizer explained, "It is a reality that someday soon the Archdiocese of Cincinnati will have less than 60 priests to serve. I am encouraged to know that one of Archbishop Schnurr's goals is to increase vocations and pray that we can."
In the meantime, while it has not been decided where the new parish will be, Bro Hugh promises to keep the annual celebration going in whatever parish he serves.

Do We Leave Our Brains Ashore When We Cruise?
May 2, 2012 | By Sue Bryant | 1 Comment
We're always hearing about the daft things passengers ask crewmembers onboard ships. Corkers like "Do the crew sleep onboard?" are great fodder for the cruise director's comedy spot. "What time's the midnight buffet?" is another one gleefully trotted out by crew when regaling others with tales of the stupidity of cruise passengers.
But these stories are always entertaining, even if it is we, the travelling public, who are the objects of fun. So we were amused to discover a few we hadn't heard before in The Truth About Cruise Ships, a book written by former Carnival employee Jay Herring. One chapter in particular, "You won't believe the things passengers do," caught our eye.
Here are some of author's favorites:
"Does this ship ever sink?"
"Is that seawater in the pool? That must be why there are so many waves on it."
In the photo gallery: "How do we know which photos are ours if they don't have our names on them?"
Call to reception: "I'm trapped in my cabin. One door leads to the bathroom and the other says 'Do not disturb.'"
"Why does my stateroom attendant keep leaving packs of butter on my pillow?"
"What religion are those people with the patches behind their ears?" (This refers to the antihistamine patches a lot of Americans wear behind their ears to prevent seasickness.)
"If I fell overboard and nobody knew, would the ship still come back for me?"
"I opened my curtains and all I can see is a parking garage!" (Uttered when the ship is still in port.)
Cruise Critic members have plenty of their own; check out this message boards thread , where member Turtles06 tells a good anecdote: "I was on Norwegian Gem when we were diverted on our way back from Bermuda to New York to rescue five people from a sinking sailboat out in the Atlantic. A woman standing near me asked, in all seriousness, "So do we now take them where they were going?"

It's just that the entire universe is constantly conspiring to put obstacles such as dead car batteries, traffic jams, or the inability to respond to an alarm clock in her path. That's why we're buying her this Sorry I'm Late Tee ($22). This way, at least her apology will be timely.

If the latest Indiana draft standards for English language arts are any indication, rewriting the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for reading seems to be an exercise in futility. I'm not claiming that the standards are perfect—no standards are—but they are strong, particularly in the early grades, where the Common Core Reading: Foundational Skills standards for grades K–2 clearly articulate the early reading skills that students must master to become fluent and proficient readers.
Unfortunately, a careful comparison between the Common Core Reading: Foundational Skills standards for K–2 and the new Indiana draft standards reveals little in the way of meaningful changes.
In short, if Indiana leaders wanted to use this standards review process to improve on the standards, they would have done better to create a companion guide to the CCSS that interprets and extends the standards in ways specific to the state.
The following issues are pervasive in the Reading K–2 standards of the Indiana draft.
· To echo Kathleen Porter-Magee's recent Common Core Watch post, one issue Indiana's educators will face if these draft standards are adopted is weak organization....
I started teaching seven years ago, and I have worked in four different schools in three different states. I've always sought schools and environments with higher standards for what students should know and be able to do, as well as higher expectations for what teachers can accomplish.
What I've learned, though, is that the definition for these goals varies not only across states but also within school districts—and that's is a problem for our students.
We need to ensure that regardless of their zip code, our students receive the core instruction that will lead them to successful careers in school and life. The need for a clear standard for what students know and when are why I believe the Common Core State Standards are essential.
Before launching into the now-familiar debate around the new state standards, consider this experience.
In my first week as a sixth grade math teacher at a high-performing New York City school, I met Ethan, a student recognized for his strong math skills. When asked to show me his skills, he beamed at his ability to correctly find the area of an irregular polygon.
I was surprised, not because Ethan could solve the problem but rather...
On February 18, the Indiana Department of Education released the first public draft of a set of new K–12 expectations for English language arts and math. The proposed changes take place against the backdrop of a rollercoaster debate about the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) that has seen numerous ups and downs since the state first adopted the CCSS back in August 2010. This contentious debate culminated in passage of legislation in April 2013 that paused CCSS implementation and charged the state Board of Education with adopting new college- and career-readiness standards.
State officials hope these new standards will accomplish two things: build on the best of both the Common Core and of the state's previous (highly regarded) ELA and math standards and put to rest the heated and polarizing debate over the Common Core.
It's perfectly fine, and has been since the outset, for states to adapt, modify, and add to the Common Core in order to address singular interests, needs, or enthusiasms of their residents, leaders, and educators. The test is whether such changes yield improvements on the one hand without diluting the very considerable gains that the Common Core itself...
The last year has found critics and advocates of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) duking it out in the political arena. That a common set of high expectations for K–12 students would catalyze such fierce fisticuffs reminds us of both the ugliness and beauty of democracy. Indeed, we at Fordham, ardent supporters of high standards for some seventeen years, have lurched out of the safe haven of think tankery and into the boxing ring. It is not a role that we asked for—or particularly relish—but, confident that the interests of America's children and its future are worth fighting for, we laced up our gloves.
Yet wherever one stands on the merits of the Common Core, one thing is certain: all of the political posturing and mudslinging distract attention and energy from the crucial work of implementation. Like it or not, the Common Core State Standards are in place in forty-five states—and in many of those jurisdictions, educators are hard at work trying to operationalize them in their schools and classrooms.
We wanted to know how it was going, so we sought answers via an...
I began my career as an inner-city elementary teacher because I was dedicated to helping students succeed. Listening to them and helping them improve to meet their goals was at the heart of my work. Today, as the executive director of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, I feel that passion more deeply than at any point in my career. This is a big moment for our schools—a moment in which we can deliver a system of tools that will help teachers and parents truly understand where students are excelling and more clearly identify where they need help.
We will not—and cannot—create a world-class assessment system in isolation. We have the privilege of working with educators and experts across our member states to craft an assessment system aligned to the Common Core State Standards that will measure where students are on their path to success. These new assessments will provide an "academic checkup" by measuring real-world skills like critical thinking and problem solving. In addition, they will provide information during the year to give teachers and parents a clearer picture of where students are succeeding and where they need help.
More than 2,000 educators across our member states have contributed to...
The funny thing about eras is that it's hard to know which one you are in until it is coming to an end. As the fighting among conservatives heats up over the Common Core, the era of standards-driven reform that has defined conservative education policy for the past three decades is brought into sharper relief.
But the approach that President Reagan and his secretary of education Bill Bennett helped set in motion in the 1980s is under increasing assault from a resurgent libertarian movement and the coopting of many of the most popular ideas by a reform-minded Democratic president and his own energetic secretary of education. Is 2014 the year the conservative push for curricular and instructional excellence comes to an end?
Those looking for answers would be wise to track the increasingly acerbic discussion over the Common Core State Standards. What began as a conversation about the quality, content, and rigor of the standards has evolved into an increasingly polarized political debate that is fracturing support for one of the most enduring conservative reforms.
Just last week, University of Arkansas professor and longtime conservative education-policy researcher Jay Greene admitted that his position on standards and accountability has...
Pop quiz! Which of the following statements is in the Common Core State Standards?
(a) Through extensive reading of stories, dramas, poems, and myths from diverse cultures and different time periods, students gain literary and cultural knowledge.
(b) By reading texts in history/social studies, science, and other disciplines, students build a foundation of knowledge in these fields that will also give them the background to be better readers in all content areas.
(c) At a curricular or instructional level, texts—within and across grade levels—need to be selected around topics or themes that systematically develop the knowledge base of students.
(d) Having students listen to informational read-alouds in the early grades helps lay the necessary foundation for students' reading and understanding of increasingly complex texts on their own in subsequent grades.
(e) All of the above.
The answer is e, all of the above. Knowledge is the key to reading comprehension. It's the key to college, career, and citizenship readiness. It's the key to meeting the Common Core standards. (see pages 10 and 33 of the standards—and for even more on building knowledge, see page 6 and ...
Two months ago, a group of Catholic university professors signed a letter urging Catholic bishops and diocesan school leaders to reject the Common Core. "We believe that implementing Common Core would be a grave disservice to Catholic education in America," they argued.
…we are convinced that Common Core is so deeply flawed that it should not be adopted by Catholic schools which have yet to approve it, and that those schools which have already endorsed it should seek an orderly withdrawal now.
…we are convinced that Common Core is so deeply flawed that it should not be adopted by Catholic schools which have yet to approve it, and that those schools which have already endorsed it should seek an orderly withdrawal now.
The content of the letter itself is not surprising to anyone following the debate over the CCSS. Indeed, perhaps the most interesting thing about it is how closely it sticks to the typical anti–Common Core talking points we've heard over and over again in the past year. The authors repeat the often-cited complaint that algebra is taught too late, point to the (misguided, in my opinion) concern that adopting the CCSS will sideline great literature in English classrooms, and argue that Common Core is aimed not at college readiness but, rather, at "standardized workforce preparation." In short, the bulk of it looked less like a thoughtful and uniquely Catholic critique of the Core than...
As Rick Hess and Michael McShane stress in their recent volume Common Core Meets Education Reform, it is foolhardy not to consider how the Common Core standards fit into the broader education-reform agenda. How these competing reforms and policies will impact one another remains to be seen.
In this final blog post on how states are handling accountability in the transition to the Common Core, we focus on one such external factor: ESEA waivers. To date, the vast majority of states have received permission to adjust their accountability systems and gain flexibility from NCLB's stringent "adequate-yearly-progress" requirements. But how do existing accountability provisions affect Common Core implementation across our small sample of states?
Though ESEA waivers were granted to give states additional flexibility, states are now finding themselves locked into a set of new, yet still restrictive, federal policies.
States that adopted the Common Core and applied for ESEA waivers are now finding themselves in a difficult place. While most states have adopted more rigorous academic standards, they remain accountable to prior waiver commitments to improve student achievement and instructional quality. The U.S. Department of Education has permitted waiver states to postpone using student achievement to evaluate educators and...
This is the third post on how a handful of states are approaching accountability during the transition to the Common Core State Standards. We've learned that most are putting high-stakes accountability on hold and are treading carefully when it comes to assessments.
But real implementation occurs at the school and classroom level. So what do state officials say about their efforts to prepare educators to teach to the new standards?
They express conviction that teachers are being adequately prepared to teach the new standards (no surprise!). Yet the quality and effectiveness of Common Core trainings and professional development is unclear (ditto!).
In our interviews, stakeholders frequently referenced state-sponsored and state-recommended professional-development opportunities, trainings, and resources for teachers. They expressed confidence that teachers were being prepared adequately through these offerings. Yet missing was any discussion of whether and how states are assessing the effectiveness of these offerings. And if the quality of these supports is unclear, so is overall educator readiness.
In Massachusetts, for instance, officials stressed that educators were heavily involved in efforts to revise the state's standards, curriculum, and assessments, all of which meld the Common Core and the state's prior content standards. As was...

Creative Suite 5.5 brings several enhancements to Adobe's flagship design and development products, including Photoshop, InDesign, and Flash Builder. But more than anything the update seems to focus on emerging computing platforms. According to the company, CS5.5 enables "designers and developers to target popular and emerging smartphone and tablet platforms," and provides "substantive advances to HTML5, Flash authoring, digital publishing and video tools as well as new capabilities that kick-start the integration of tablets into creative workflows."
To this end Adobe launched the Photoshop Touch SDK and three iPad apps designed to interact with the desktop version of Photoshop: Color Lava, Eazel, and Nav. The first one allows you to mix colors on the iPad using your fingers as well as create color swatches and themes that can be transferred into Photoshop. Adobe Nav provides more desktop space by enabling users to select and control Photoshop tools on the iPad, while Adobe Eazel lets you create paintings with your fingertips, which you can then transfer back to Photoshop wirelessly.
These apps will be available from May, at prices ranging from $1.99 to $4.99, and are meant to showcase the Photoshop Touch SDK's capabilities so developers create their own apps for Android, Blackberry PlayBook, and iOS devices.
As for the new subscription pricing model, Adobe has worked out a scheme were users can rent the entire suite or individual programs with a one-year plan for lower monthly payments, or a flexible month-to-month plan that you can stop and restart as needed. It's not exactly cheap but it lowers the entry barrier for freelancers and small business owners: Photoshop starts at $35 per month, for example, while Adobe Design Premium CS 5.5 is priced at $95 per month and the entire Master Collection will cost $129 per month. Naturally, you can still purchase the suite upfront.

How can I set up my Linux box so that, if the Active Directory domain controller is down, I can still log in as root, without any timeouts or delays?
Following the example of most of the documentation out there, I've listed
pam_winbind.so before
pam_unix.so in my
/etc/pam.d configurations. I believe that this is the cause of the problem. I remember seeing alternate
/etc/pam.d setups that change the order and maybe add either
pam_localuser or
pam_succeed_if (to see if the uid is less than 500), but I can't find any specifics now (and I'm not enough of an expert in PAM to quickly and easily come up with a robust configuration on my own).
What is the recommended setup for PAM with Winbind to avoid timeouts and delays if Active Directory is unavailable?

With the national increase in awareness about distracted driving which contributes to a large proportion of road crashes, maybe we should be revisiting our cell phone laws. Currently, Minnesota law allows drivers to use their cell phones while driving, as long as they're not texting: personally, I don't think this is sufficient. The government has started a campaign asking drivers who use their cell phone in the car to "Put it Down" and avoid contributing to avoidable crashes.
The issue cropped up for me thanks to those idiots who like to run red lights. Twice in the same day I had a red light runner and noticed that each twit was also on their cell phone. Great - it's one thing to have someone trying to kill you gunning through a controlled intersection, but when they're just too blasé to even notice they're hoofing through a red, it brings a new level of personal insult to the procedure.
The next time you're out and about driving, take a look at the person unable to stay in their lane, keep pace with the traffic around them or rides your rear bumper, and nine times out of ten it'll be some clown on their phone. I've often fantasized about having one of those EMP devices attached to my car. You know what I mean? That pulse that renders cell phones in the immediate area useless, or simply jams them for a while. Yeah - heh, heh, that'd be pretty handy.
But let's get back to reality. Distracted driving, according to the official government website www.distraction.gov, is grouped into three different categories. They are:
Visual – taking your eyes off the road
Manual – taking you hands off the wheel
Cognitive – taking your mind off what you are doing
Texting is considered the most dangerous since it involves all three of these. However the following activities are also considered distracting activities which can contribute to crashes:
Using a cell phone, Eating and drinking, Talking to passengers, Grooming, Reading - including maps, Using a PDA or navigation system, Watching a video, Changing the radio station, CD, or Mp3 player.
It is estimated that nationally 11 percent of all drivers are using some sort of phone during daylight hours, whether it is hand-held or hands-free, which is why it's at the top of the list. According to 2008 data from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety in multiple-vehicle crashes, for drivers through age 64, driver inattention or distraction is cited most often.
Additionally 2008 data from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, reveals that 40 percent of all crashes occur between 12 and 6pm, with 3 and 6pm the most likely time for fatalities to occur. The commute home is considered a truly hazardous time on the road and if you factor in the use of an electronic device with the dynamic traffic situation, it's not surprising.
In 2008, there were 141, 756 vehicle related crashes in Minnesota, involving 192, 235 people and costing the state some 1.5 billion dollars. 33,379 were injured, more than 1500 seriously, and 455 were killed. It is estimated that 23 percent of these crashes are caused by distracted drivers.
Several National Occupant Protection Use Survey's reveal that electronic device use is on the rise in most parts of the country, with women more likely to be using them than male drivers. It'd be great if Minnesota, like New York, Washington, California, Oregon, Connecticut and New Jersey, banned the use of hand held phone use. It isn't a perfect solution, since it is generally regarded that even hands free systems drain resources away from the act of driving, but it is a step in the right direction.
As a recent ABC news video illustrates, it may take more than just education to modify people's behavior. According to the article, the government is piloting ways in which it can beef up public awareness and part of this is likely to be harsher penalties for people who flout the law. http://news.yahoo.com/video/us-15749625/19163726.
The DPS considers that many "crashes", as it prefers them to be called, as avoidable. The silver lining is that both in MN and nationally the number of crash fatalities has dropped in 2009. We can't rest on our laurels though, especially considering that our younger drivers, those under the age of 30, continue to be overly represented in the fatality statistics and are more likely to be using electronic devices. The DPS urges the following: "Driving is a privilege; aggressive driving is not. Buckle up. Drive at safe speeds. Pay attention and never drive impaired."
Seems like sound advice to me, so go ahead, "Put it Down."

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - Nobody seems to stand a chance when they visit McArthur Court these days.
Luke Ridnour scored a career-high 25 points, and No. 15 Oregon set school records for most 3-pointers made and most points scored in a Pac-10 game Thursday night with a 115-77 victory over Washington State.
The Ducks (19-7, 11-4 Pac-10) remained tied for first place in the conference with Southern California. They are 15-0 at home this season, winning by an average margin of more than 25 points.
"I think we've already peaked in terms of understanding how hard you have to play and how committed you have to be to have success," Oregon coach Ernie Kent said. "I've never had a team so focused."
Marcus Moore scored 34 points to lead the Cougars (5-19, 1-15 Pac-10), who are 0-10 on the road this season.
J Locklier added 12 points and seven rebounds for Washington State, which has lost 17 of 18 overall.
"We are still in the building process," Washington State coach Paul Graham said. "It gets difficult when you are so young."
Frederick Jones scored 18 points, and Luke Jackson added 17 for Oregon. The Ducks, who lead the country in 3-point percentage, were 16-for-26 from long range, including a stretch of six straight in the second half.
Every Oregon player scored as the Ducks shot 54 percent from the field, 62 percent from 3-point range and 93 percent from the free-throw line, all season highs.
"We came out with a lot of energy and we were ready to win this one," Ridnour said.
On consecutive possessions in the second half, Ridnour hit two 3-pointers and found Robert Johnson with a behind-the-back pass, bringing the sellout crowd to its feet chanting "Luke! Luke! Luke!"
Anthony Lever hit a 3-pointer with 5:15 left in the first half to cap a 20-6 run and put Oregon ahead 33-19.
The Oregon record for most points scored is 121, set against Portland in 1970. The previous school record for most 3-pointers was 15 against West Florida in 1995.

The first thing you'll notice when you pull onto the grounds at Basignani Vineyards is the welcoming committee. As you pull into the grounds, three of the most beautiful Border Collies I have ever seen will follow your car until it stops, staying wide of its tires, and then wait patiently as you climb out. When you do, they will lead you to the front door of the tasting room as if they're actually saying, "Come on in. See what our humans have been up to."
I have a special place in my heart for Border Collies. When I was a baby, my grandparents had the most amazing Border Collie who considered my twin sister and me "her" babies. Fiercely protective, this was the type of dog who would keep the mailman at bay, even when my mom was on the porch watching over us.
But my point is the wine, and Basignani has some awesome ones. Tastings are $5, but you run the full gauntlet, and a dollar is knocked off with every one of your first five bottles of wine. I especially loved the Marisa, a jammy red, the Elena, a dry white that's a bit like Pinot Grigio, and the Monkton Moon Delight, a semi-sweet blush that would be perfect for evening picnics.
Speaking of those evening picnics, Friday nights in June and July bring the TGIF Movie night. The list of movies isn't available yet for this year, but events in the past have included such family-friendly fare as Ratatouille, Mama Mia, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Tickets are $8. Bring a picnic, a lawn chair, and a couple of dog treats. The welcoming committee would appreciate it.
They would, however, also appreciate it if you didn't bring anyone else who might be interested in sharing said treats. In other words, leave the pets at home, please, for both the movie events and all other visits you might make out there.
In the meantime, make plans for the Swing into Spring Weekend (May 1 & 2), the official roll-out for the Monkton Moon Delight and Marisa Dolce. Tickets are $8. You bring the picnic (and puppy treats), they'll provide the wine glasses and desserts.
If you're interested in learning how wines are made, make your reservations now for the Harvest Saturdays (September and October) by calling the Winery at (410) 472-0703. RSVPs are required because certain dates will fill up. Pick the grapes, learn how a grape becomes a wine, and enjoy a delicious lunch provided by the winery when you're done.
Basignani Winery is located just off the Harrisburg Expressway and Falls Road, about six miles north of Hunt Valley. Hours are Wednesday through Saturday 11:30-5:30, and Sunday 12-6. For more information, please visit www.basignani.com.\

"These products are typically being sold to markets and customers that Sensient did not serve prior to the acquisition. Melchers has provided quality products and service to these customers for a number of years, and we intend to continue that tradition at Sensient."
"Sensient Flavors and Melchers Flavors of America will combine their strengths to continue serving the coffee and tea industry," says Wolfgang Boehmer, executive vice president of Melchers Flavors of America. "One of the many benefits of our merger is the opportunity to offer spray-dried coffee and/or tea flavor systems."

Specialty Tea Institute, Tel: (212) 986-9415, E-mail: email@example.com
FOODEX, which has a 28-year-old track record of showcasing a global food and beverage event annually, offers 27,590 sq m of exhibition space. Close to 2300 exhibitors - new entrants as well as trusted old industry leaders - will all come under one roof, at Makuhari Messe Chiba, Japan, to network, conduct business and seek out new products. The exhibition represents an excellent opportunity for exhibitors to advance fruitful business discussions by advertising their company and products directly to buyers and other professional visitors.
The three themed display areas - FOODEX Tea & Coffee Plaza, FOODEX Organic and Natural Plaza, and FOODEX Health Plaza - will spotlight products that are currently setting new market trends and making tracks in the consumer market. Of these, the Tea & Coffee Plaza will focus on two really strong products that are well established in the Japanese F&B market. Teas of all kinds have currently made a comeback into the Japanese market, especially Chai, bubble and flavored teas. And although Japan has traditionally extolled upon the virtues of tea, there is a concerted effort on the part of the "cool" generation of young and upwardly mobile Japanese, and the successful American producers and cafe owners such as Starbucks , to spread the coffee culture in the country.
E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com to book space at the exhibition. The deadline is October 18, 2002.
The eight coffee SKU's will include a variety of roasts, regular or decaf, as well as both whole bean or ground choices. The four tea SKU's are comprised of Equal Exchange's fairly-traded, organic, bagged teas from Darjeeling, India.
Equal Exchange has pioneered a business model that ensures a decent income for small-scale farmers in poor communities around the world. Equal Exchange's coffee and tea purchases are currently benefiting 19 small farmer organizations in 11 different countries from Indonesia to Mexico.
As the public learns of the ongoing coffee crisis, they have welcomed the benefits offered farmers through fair trade. National sales of certified fair trade coffee have doubled each year since 1998.

POLICE have vowed that the file will not be closed on the brutal murder of pensioner Georgina Edmonds.
In a statement released after Matthew Hamlen, 33, was acquitted of the horrific killing, Hampshire Constabulary said the case would be reviewed under national guidelines in a bid to bring "closure" to the 77-year-old's family.
The force said: "The police, Crown Prosecution Service and prosecuting counsel have worked tirelessly to put together and present the evidence they believe demonstrates who was responsible for this shocking crime.
"The investigation has been one of the biggest murder inquiries ever conducted by Hampshire Constabulary.
"It is the policy of Hampshire Constabulary that unsolved homicides are never closed. This investigation will be reviewed in accordance with the criteria set out under national guidelines. "Our thoughts are with Mrs Edmonds' family and members of the local community who still seek some form of closure and to see justice done."

Jan. 11, 2013
SEATTLE - When current women's head coach Bob Ernst started taking his athletes to San Diego for winter training in 1993, Ernst was at the helm of the men's Husky crew program, and the current U.S. Olympic Training Center at Otay Lake had yet to be built.
In those days, the team manager slept in the trailer watching over the boats that were stored in the parking lot while they rented fishing boats for the coaches and launched the shells through the mud. What exists there today is a state of the art training facility that is dedicated to the development of current and future Olympians participating in sports including archery, rowing, BMX, sand volleyball, field hockey, tennis, track and field, and cycling. This is also the site of the Husky Crew winter training camp.
In college rowing programs, sending student-athletes to an off-campus, out of state facility is not an uncommon occurrence. A winter camp serves as a kick start for the spring season after many of the athletes have less time to train during finals and the holidays. At most schools, coaches take the entire team to winter training camp. Some use the same facility in Chula Vista while others use another training center in Florida.
What's unique about Washington Rowing's winter camp is that only a select few earn the chance to participate in this special opportunity to train at an Olympic facility. During the fall season, Ernst and men's head coach Michael Callahan challenge their student-athletes to earn their way to Otay Lake in Southern California. No spot at the camp is promised to any athlete--regardless of experience or age. With limited races in the fall this added reward provides continuous competition and extra motivation for Husky rowers throughout the fall.
The elite group included 42 members of Husky Crew, split evenly between the men and the women. Callahan and his staff took 18 oarsmen and three coxswains, while Ernst had 19 rowers and two coxswains. Seniors Sam Dommer and Madison Culp both earned their way to the camp and were excited to get back to training with their team after having to train on their own during break.
"I think everyone was really excited to get to training camp in San Diego," said Culp. "Winter break training can be a major grind for a lot of us who have to train on our own and push ourselves individually. It was awesome to get back to racing one another and finding that inner team competition again!"
Dommer agrees.
"Before camp, I was very excited to meet up with the team again because we all have a really close bond," said Dommer. "Having time off is always nice but everyone was ready to start training and competing again. Having a competitive group really helps keep guys on track throughout winter quarter, and the winter quarter is where you win championships."
Small boat training was the main focus for both crews. The men concentrated on pairs and coxless fours while the women's training was geared towards technical development and high quality strokes. Men's assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Rick Gherst and women's assistant coach Conor Bullis were impressed with what their athletes were able to accomplish over the course of the week.
"We saw great technical improvement across the board for all our athletes that were there," said Bullis. "There was a very high level of focus."
Gherst and Callahan were pleased with the ability of their oarsmen to be dynamic and versatile.
"We changed rowing partners nearly every practice", said Gherst. "We were impressed with how well they complement each other. They can make a boat go fast regardless of who they're with."
Husky Crew winter training camp is as much about the training as it is about where they are training. The U.S. Olympic Training Center is a first-class facility that gives these student-athletes a glimpse of how Olympic athletes prepare to earn a chance to compete on the world's biggest sporting stage. With Olympic paraphernalia dotting every part of the facility, it is an inspiring place to be.
Former Husky rowers turned Olympians were around throughout the week, including Megan Kalmoe and Adrienne Martelli. The current student-athletes had the opportunity to spend time with these Husky Olympians and learn about their preparation and experiences--including getting out on the water and rowing with them. Aspiring Olympian and recently graduated Rob Munn ('12) was also training there during the week.
Besides getting to train in the sunny weather and favorable conditions, Ernst believes that this exposure to Olympic style training and access to these former Huskies is one of the most important aspects of having winter training camp at this facility.
"It shows our student-athletes that making it to the Olympics is not just a dream," said Ernst. "It's part of the process here at Washington. If you come here with the right motivation and you work hard you can be an Olympian."
Callahan echoes the thoughts of his counterpart.
"Being in an environment of high-level training inspires our guys to reach those levels,' said Callahan. "Many of our athletes have aspirations beyond college rowing and this is an important development phase for them. They have a chance to truly be excellent at something so [going to the training center] is special."
Winter training camp away from Seattle also offers the benefit of training without distractions.
"Personally, attending winter camp in San Diego is an amazing opportunity to start rowing without having to focus on school," says Dommer.
For the average college student, winter break is a time to give the brain a rest and enjoy having nothing to do. However, for the student-athletes that earned their way to the camp, it is something they all look forward too.
According to Culp, getting to see "her girls" and begin training with them again was the most important highlight of her week, saying that the short break apart felt like forever and she was ready to get back on the water with her teammates.
The week wasn't all business as the women soaked up the sun on the beach while the men took a hike above Otay Lake and the Olympic Training Center. Despite the fun, the athletes were still focused on the reason they were there. On New Year's Eve the women spent time at the home of one of the athlete's parents house, playing games and eating food; however, they were back at the hotel before 8 p.m. so they could get to bed for early morning training. The men were content with watching the East Coast ball drop at 9 p.m. and then hitting the sheets for their New Year's celebration, proving that these student-athletes are committed to doing what it takes to be the best.
Winter training camp served its purpose, as it inspired the athletes and elevated their fitness as Spring season preparation moves in to full swing. The trip also allowed Husky Crew to have some fun and train in the California sun before returning to "Husky Weather"--as Culp calls it.
Overall Culp believes that Husky crew did what they went there to do, but that it is only just the beginning.
"I think I can speak for everyone at the camp that training camp was a success," said Culp. "But it is only a precursor to the training yet to come here at home. It is an exciting time in our program and a lot is happening right now with the racing season right around the corner."

The Cardinal will compete in Session I, along with Army, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, and Ohio State. Session II will include Penn State, California, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Temple.
The top three teams from each qualifier will then advance to contend for the national championship at 7:00 p.m. ET on Friday, April 13, with the individual all-around champion also being crowned that evening.

The Cardinal finished on top in four of the six events and Sender captured the all around title with a 50.45. * On January 28 the team took home first place at the Stanford Open Saturday night in front of a sell out crowd at Burnham Pavilion.

The Cardinal fell to Michigan by a final score of 212.35-208.1. National Team member and Stanford co-captain Sender was unable to compete in the meet due to family issues. * No. 5 Stanford bounced right back on March 4 as they defeated tenth ranked University of Nebraska by a score of 216.85-206.30 at the Devaney Center in Lincoln, Nebraska.

"I like big butts…" and now I know why. Multiple studies are proving that the voluptuous figures of countless Black women possess more benefits than just aesthetic perks – those curves may actually help them live longer. But why is this?
LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook! Get Your Daily Medicine…For LIFE!
According to experts, the type of fat found in the thighs and backside may actually help reduce disease, as opposed to the dangerous and life-threatening effects of abdominal fat.
"The fact that body fat's distribution is quite important for your health has been known for some time now," said lead researcher Konstantinos Manolopoulos of the University of Oxford in England.
Scientists from the University have discovered that women with larger than average butts are not only increasingly intelligent but also very resistant to chronic illnesses. The results found that women with bigger backsides tend to have lower levels of cholesterol and are more likely to produce hormones to metabolize sugar. Therefore, women with big butts are less likely to have diabetes or heart problems.
The review also suggests a mechanism for conveying those benefits. According to the experts, the next step is to figure out how our bodies decide where to store fat, say, in the stomach versus the butt.
"Once this is understood then one could think about therapeutic approaches to make use of that," Manolopoulos said. "Maybe to make use (of it) in a preventive way by redistributing the fat."
Don't take this news the wrong way though. This is only true to a certain degree as obesity increases your chances of developing chronic health conditions. This is because, per studies, researchers found that not all fat is created equal.

Robert Burchfield
LONDON - Robert Burchfield, a daring and innovative lexicographer who was chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionaries from 1971 to 1984, died Monday. He was 81.
The New Zealand-born Burchfield died in Oxfordshire, central England, a spokeswoman for the Oxford University Press said Tuesday. No cause of death was given.
From a young age, Burchfield loved the English language, which he once described as "a monster accordion, stretchable at the whim of the editor, compressible ad lib."
His interest in all brands of English went into the Oxford English Dictionaries, which he broadened to include words from North America, Australia, South Africa, India, Pakistan and the Caribbean, as well as his native land.
Nikos Kessanlis
ATHENS, Greece - Nikos Kessanlis, one of Greece's foremost contemporary artists, has died of a heart attack, state media reported Tuesday. He was 74. Kessanlis, a former dean of the Athens School of Fine Arts, died Sunday.
Best known for blending photography and painting, he lived in Rome in the late 1950s and then worked in Paris during the 1960s. Kessanlis returned to Greece in 1980 and became head of the fine arts academy the next year.
Hugh Shearer
KINGSTON, Jamaica - Hugh Shearer, a prime minister in the early stages of Jamaica's independence, died Monday. He was 81.
Shearer, prime minister from 1967 to 1972, died at his Kingston home, his family said. Shearer succeeded Donald Sangster, who died in office, to become prime minister five years after Jamaica gained independence from Britain.
Many credited him with overseeing one of Jamaica's most stable economic periods.

On January 17th, guests arrived to the Biltmore Hotel's ballroom for day two of StyleWeek Providence's famed fashion week. With opening night having kicked off with New England designers Sam Mendoza, Avni Trivedi, and Sarah Prost, fashion week attendees already had high expectations for the day two. Opening the evening was Rhode Island-based designer Kara Wickman who created her self-titled fashion label for its runway debut during StyleWeek. Expecting her second child, Kara appeared to effortlessly balance life as a mother, her pregnancy, and the creation of a 21 piece collection inspired by a woman whose spirit resembled much of her own: glamorous and always on the go.
After attending StyleWeek's inaugural fashion week in June, Wickman knew that January would be the platform she needed to launch her line. Her debut collection entitled "Oui" is comprised of office-ready separates, playful cocktail dresses and rompers, along with silk satin ball gowns. Her initial inspiration came from the timeless corset top, a sensual yet sophisticatedly structured piece whose silhouette is slimming on almost any frame. With a modern take, Wickman added hidden zippers and kept the notion of the back lace for ornamental detail, making her items as easy to wear as they are flattering.
Kara Wickman's collection hit the runway on leggy models sporting big hair and the revival of the beehive. Styled with satin gloves, tea hats, and chokers, the models walked to French pop and carried an air of playful mystery. Some garments even included handmade flower pins attached to backs and hips of the garments which were custom made using the collection's fine fabrics.
One collection favorite include a reversible corset top in navy silk satin featuring black bust detail (reversible to black with navy bust detail) showcased with a black silk satin skirt. The outfit was styled with a cameo and crystal choker, tea hat, and black satin gloves along with a wide black belt cinching the waist.
Another featured a sheer sleeved silk gown in a rich floral print. The gown was styled over leggings and one of Wickman's signature black brocade corset tops which fit over the sheer gown creating a flattering silhouette; the shape highlights the bust and waist while also creating an airy, flowy feel from the sheer silk beneath.
Most of the looks were styled featuring Poetic License shoes whose playful designs complimented the essence of the designer's vision. Satin booties featured black glitter platforms and heels while a black suede open toe bootie featured black snake trim. Another red suede pair of heels had gold trim and a ruffled flower at the ankle, featured with one of Wickman's more simple designs to pull the flowers and color of some of the other garments.
