Happy New Year! Here's to wonderful things happening for you and boyfriend in the coming year!
I am not good with resolutions. I make them, I feel inspired, and then I run from them. I think a lot of people experience this. I'm hesitant to make it a resolution to get my A+ certification this year, but it seems like a good goal. I should be able to afford it within a couple of months if I consciously set aside money for the study text & exam fees. It'd be cool to get it before May, before my annual review (2 years with the company), but I won't set myself any deadlines. No pressure, just need to look into it and start reading.
Last night was great. I had lots of fun at Medieval Manor. We were with a big party, lots of Boyfriend's family's friends. Afterwards, Boyfriend's mom & godmother (well, basically, she fills the same kind of role that my godfather does for me as a non-related uncle) were fairly drunk and insistent that I come over to bond with them, so we went over to his parents' house & hung out for a bit. Then I dragged my drunk-ass Boyfriend home. Yes, I did make him crutch two blocks + one street as punishment for making me fight him to not go out into Boston, on crutches, with his brother, who is new to town, without prior planning.
He thanked me in the morning .
Happy New Year! Here's to wonderful things happening for you and boyfriend in the coming year!
Thanks, Tomi! Happy New Year!
How to Beat Sugar Cravings with Glutamine | Food Renegade
This link is especially for Jenn & Paula. It references Julia Ross, who wrote The Mood Cure, which is the book I base my mood support supplementation off of.
Oh my word, it is COLD out! I don't think we're getting over freezing today. It's getting down to 9*F tonight! Stay safe, people! I'm sure it's cold elsewhere, too! It was about 12*F when I got up at 6:30 this morning. I woke up slightly chilled under the blankets this morning, so I may bring the space heater for us tonight.
Sleep: I read for a bit in bed last night (need a reading lamp, I hate getting out of bed to switch off the light), starting just after 9:30 PM, so I'm not sure when I went to sleep. Boyfriend slept with me, but didn't sleep well, despite being exhausted (probably because of the aircast, if he doesn't wear it to sleep, his foot is swollen in the AM). I think I woke up around 6AM, when the heat turns on. I am thinking about trying to wake up without an alarm, since I know I regularly wake up before it. I've spent my whole life waiting for it to go off, so I'm afraid I'll just stay in bed, or stay in bed too long, if I don't use one. I'm not sure how would be best to test this. I don't use an alarm on weekends, but I usually sleep in. I guess I will have to try getting up when I first wake up on weekends, and then doing that during the week, but leave the alarm on just in case. If I have extra time, I'll just have to exercise!
Food: Yesterday was a wheat-free day, and the day before was too, now that I think about it. All of the cookies are gone, Boyfriend polished off the chocolate chip cookies yesterday. We went out to eat at our favorite Mexican place last night and I had steak picado, which comes with refried beans (my favorite kind), guacamole, & "Spanish rice". I avoided the beans in the rice & the cheese on the refried beans, but otherwise ate everything. I felt VERY full afterwards. I find that eating things like beans and rice tends to mess up my satiety signals. I knew I was probably full, but it was so tasty, I kept eating. No harm done. I don't have much of a lunch today, just snack stuff (banana, apple, celery sticks with almond butter, and I brought the almond butter to have with the fruit). I don't really want sardines, so I guess I'm just snacking for lunch today =\. I'm defrosting some meat for lunches today, so I should be okay for the rest of the week. I need to go out to get turnips, more celery, carrots, and garlic for lamb stew. The recipes I'm finding online say to add wine. I have a bottle that my supervisor gave me for the Holidays (everyone on the IT team got one), I'll use some of that & give the rest to my parents. Maybe I'll have a small glass. I had a mild hangover yesterday (slight headache) from having the equivalent of 1.5 beers at NYE dinner, over several hours & with plenty of food.
Body: Shark week arrived right on time. I think the last two cycles have been a few days late, so that was relieving. I hope that means the Vitex really is helping. In the past, I've always been very regular. Without wheat for the past few days, my knees have been fine, but I feel stiff. I might be stretching a couple of times a day for the next few days. The beans last night probably didn't help that! I've been congested & had a sore throat for the past couple of days, probably from the less than stellar food. I didn't use the neti pot yesterday, but did this morning. It helped for a little while, but now I feel congested again. I'm sure tomorrow will be better. I just read an article that says to use a full pot per side. I've only been using one pot for my nose, switching sides every 10 seconds or so till it's used up. I think I will use it again tonight. I'm experiencing some water retention, probably just from my period.
Supplements: Taking HCL mid-way through the meal last night seemed to mitigate any bloating or gas (my stomach was slightly distended after eating, but it didn't feel like bloating from gas). I took a partial capsule with breakfast this morning. I am still at 200mg of 5-HTP and I think I'm happy with that. I'm really glad that I was able to reduce the dose successfully. I will stay here for a while, maybe even for a full month, before trying to reduce again. I'm at a rounded teaspoon of vitamin C every day. I had to go up a bit (from a level teaspoon to a rounded teaspoon, which probably makes it 1 1/4) during Christmas week. I hope with my usual diet back in place, I can decrease it soon.
I see the gut doctor next Tuesday. I will ask about thyroid testing.
Still love reading your Blog. I am studying for my Security+ and I have plenty of sample on-line study guides for A+ that I can forward to you.
Oh, and the weather is the same so you'd be spared the adjustment.
PS, we dropped to -4* overnight. Brrrr...
Jenn, I don't think I could ever live that far from a coast! I don't go to the ocean often, but I like knowing it's there and it's an option to visit if I want to. I could probably get used to lakes, but I don't know if I'd want to. I love salty air. As long as my pay rate wouldn't decrease too much, I'd be fine with living in a cheaper area for a while so we can save up some.
Hey, thanks for the link regarding L-Glutamine. I'll toss it in my purse and keep it handy. I've got a bottle at home that I've never cracked b/c I didn't know how to do it. Now I do. Thank you.
I hope it helps. I totally forgot about mine, hiding in the cupboard. I might start using it in the morning & evenings again. I got the dose wrong before (used 1/4 teaspoon instead of 1, mixed it up with a different powdered supplement) so I don't think it did anything. I hope it will help with my GI issues.
New Year, New You: Making 2013 Your Best Year Yet | Mark's Daily Apple
Did you guys read this?! More PrimalCons and maybe a cruise?! This is so cool. I'm really happy to be a part of this community. While I doubt I could afford to attend any of these things anytime soon, it's fun to dream.
Boyfriend asked me to get him an anti-fungal spray for his foot, and his aircast (he went to his annual today, so he must've asked about it). I'm going to get him a fresh Ace bandage too, because this one hasn't been washed yet! That will probably help .
We have tea tree oil. I'm considering mixing some in a bit of coconut oil (melt it, mix in the drops, pour in small tupperware?) & giving that to him to rub on before he wraps his foot in the morning, post-shower. Maybe I'll just look for something "natural" at Whole Foods. He hates the smell of vinegar, otherwise I'd have him soak his foot in ACV & warm water. I'll have to get a spray for the boot anyway.
Grocery list
-apple cider vinegar
-carrots, turnips, celery
-apples, pomegranates
-potatoes & sweet potatoes
-some kind of natural anti-fungal for Boyfriend's foot?
-anti-fungal spray for aircast
-new bandage

"A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval" ~ Mark TwainFinding the way to accept your life and yourself is often the road less traveled. In a society where the norm is publicized through marketed images of fame and fortune anyone can feel at odds. Through the seeds of self- acceptance a fruitful tree of opportunities, confidence, and happiness can grow. In four simple steps you can reach the goal of living your life intended with the approval you need most; your own.
1. Volunteering: Often times we as humans cater to our own set-backs. We are innately selfish and question our lives scathingly. By turning "What about me?" into "What about we?" the element of the self is transformed into a bettered being. Looking within your own community broadens the perspective of what others face within their lives. Through clarity and the selflessness to help them with their challenges, the obstacle of harboring genuine gratitude for your life is overcome. From feeding the hungry to walking dogs at a local pet shelter, any inkling of looking at life in a negative light is alleviated.2. Honing Hobbies: Good at a skill? Got a great talent others admire? Hone it for it is unique to you. Giving credit to the abilities you possess immediately lifts self- confidence. That confidence can open doors to help others which in turn creates a cycle of never ending self -acceptance. Through your one ability hundreds even millions can be motivated to fulfill their own dreams! Get involved with your school or college's organizations geared toward your hobbies. If none are available, accept that you have the drive and passion to create a group. Getting involved with others who exhibit like natures or qualities governs appreciation for your own unique traits. Also Read Nicole's articles on How to Find a Perfect Hobby and 5 Reasons to Have a Hobby.3. Encouraging Others: It can be difficult encouraging others when we are our own worst bully. We build confidence on unsettled ground only to watch ourselves tumble down in a spiral of self-defeat. However, when another such as a friend or loved one knocks themselves down, we become a pillar of support and hope to help them get through their dilemmas. They then soar and succeed becoming better than they were before. This is turn teaches us that when we fail we are not failures and in need of perfecting our results. The positive affirmations and support we give others can be turned around and directed inwardly. The next time you don't overcome an obstacle or meet a goal, think "If I were (someone you love or a friend) what would I say to them?" 4. Be Genuinely Kind: Sometimes people are nice when it is convenient to them. We are plastic and stiff, like mannequins in a store front. When is the last time you genuinely smiled at a stranger or intently listened to your friend discussing the news? You probably do it often but you may not mean it often. Monitor your interactions with others as they indicate how you treat yourself. If you smile or speak without spirit, more than likely your internal voice is identical. Flip those responses with positive sayings clearly thought out and brought about from goodness. Soon enough each and every thought uttered in your mind will be identical as well."It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision"-Helen Keller.Courtney King

I have installed INTEL 330 series 180 GB SSD in my Dell Tower inspiron 530S. The BIOS sees this HD as SATA#5. However my operating system is Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS and no other OS on computer. GParted identifies an unrecognized, unallocated partition of correct size on /dev/sdb. I was able to get gparted to put DOS file system in place? But I am unable to do anything with the ssd. I assume that it wants to be mounted to be recognized. GParted says it does not know where/how to do that.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

What Has Surprised, Enchanted, Humbled, and Troubled You Most in 2009?
Barack Obama was asked this question. Now we're asking you.
During Obama's press conference last night, New York Times reporter Jeff Zeleny caused a fuss by asking the following question:
During these first 100 days, what has surprised you the most about this office, enchanted you the most about serving in this office, humbled you the most, and troubled you the most?
Was it an appropriate question for a president dealing with massive economic and military crises? Perhaps not. Is it a question whose answer we were curious to hear? Certainly.
In fact, we'd like to hear what all of your answers would be. Not necessarily relating to President Obama, but rather in your own life. Let us know in the comments what has, since 2009 began,
1. Surprised you most?
2. Enchanted you most?
3. Humbled you most?
4. Troubled you most?

A San Francisco Rally for Rescheduling Marijuana will be held at 12pm on Wednesday, October 26th. It will be held at Health and Human Services, 50 United Nations Plaza. Southern California Americans for Safe Access is chartering a bus from San Diego with stops in Santa Ana, the San Fernando Valley, and Santa Barbara. The bus will leave San Diego on the morning of October 25th.
On October 18th, Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi's bill regulating Medical Cannabis Dispensaries (MCD's) was debated before the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. For three hours, various supervisors, including Maxwell, Alioto-Pier, Daly passed hostile amendments gutting the bill with zoning requirements which could effectively shut all or most dispensaries in the City (Supervisor Chris Daly won an amendment that adds large portions of South of Market as a no-medical cannabis dispensary zone).
The bill was continued over to this week's hearing, which will be held on Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 at 2PM at San Francisco City Hall, Room 250. This may be the final vote on regulation of dispensing collectives in San Francisco. Medical marijuana advocates are encouraging people to voice their displeasure over this process and to show support for the City's MCDs. Organizations are also encouraged to write lettersor make phone calls to the Board of Supervisors.

Samsung Xpress M2825DW Review and Ratings
Our Verdict: The M2825DW offers some surprising high-end features, including broad mobile-device support and a highly configurable print manager. It's a good value, and best for light-to-moderate text printing in a home or small office. Read More…
- What We Liked…
- Broad mobile-printing support
- Strong text print quality
- Deep print-management, Eco utilities
- Easy setup
- 250-sheet tray capacity
- What We Didn't…
- Paper-tray design needs work
- Separate toner and drum replacements required
- Poor photo print quality
Samsung Xpress M2825DW Review
By September 25, 2013, reviewed
Table of Contents
Setup & Features
The M2825DW comes out of the box pinned down with six long, blue-plastic sticky tabs. Getting them off isn't a problem, but one postcard-like paper sheet is stuck half in, half out of the printer. Once you pull down a latch at the top front of the printer and open it up, you'll see the sheet is attached to a long orange-plastic rod that snakes back behind the toner cartridge, where it's also attached. You'll have to extract that too.
Also, the cartridge itself isn't primed for use until you pull a long plastic tape out of one end. It's only a slightly messy business, but best done away from carpets, clean desktops, and good clothes.
The rest of setup was a breeze. Software installation lets you choose among USB, wired network, and wireless network...
You can elect to install two apps along with the printer driver: Easy Wireless Setup, and Easy Printer Manager. We suggest doing the first even if you don't go initially with a wireless setup, since it will save time later if you change your mind.
The Easy Printer Manager is a definite plus under all circumstances. It looks very similar to the Printer Manager from Dell's B1163w Mono Laser Multifunction Printer. We thought highly enough of it in that printer to consider it a major benefit, the kind of thing you'd expect from a much more expensive printer. The Easy Printer Manager groups everything except alerts rather awkwardly under a single heading, Device Settings. There, you'll find subheadings for System, Eco Settings, Input Tray, Layout, Printer, Emulation, Network Settings, and Print Information...
Loads of customization here. You'll find a timed power-save mode, and controls for determining how low the toner supply gets before the warning light starts blinking. You can use it to set paper type (thin to cardstock), change print density (+/-10), adjust altitude values (to prevent speckling and ghosting), and skip the printing of blank pages without entering Eco mode. Unlike the B1163w, this Xpress doesn't do any copying or scanning, so the Easy Printer Manager doesn't include such digital-imaging controls as fringe removal or multiple image formats, but it's still a very good and deep tool to have on your side.
The Xpress M2825DW and the B1163w, curiously, continued to cross swords on other major features. On one of these, Eco mode, the Xpress M2825DW came out ahead. While the Dell unit's Eco mode prints two pages on one side of a sheet and reduces toner use to draft mode, the Samsung printer in addition skips blank pages, and it lets you select two, four, six, nine, or 16 pages to print per sheet (though who can read nine or 16 pages per sheet, besides The Human Fly, is anyone's guess). And while the user guide states that duplex printing, another Eco feature, is only available on the M262x printer series, it worked just fine on the M2825DW—if looking a bit odd as the printer outputted a page, only to pull it back in to print the other side.
We also noted some nice features you can manually apply after you first bring up Eco Preview, which in turn launches the Easy Eco Driver. These include "select and remove specific object," "delete selected page," "save as PDF," and "remove images"...
Using these, you can, say, exclude toner-wasting images or ads in your printouts to save consumables. You'll notice in that image above, too, that unlike the Dell B1163w, the M2825DW has an Eco mode simulator that actually works. Where Dell's was just a series of three static savings percentages for CO2, Energy, and Paper, Samsung's five percentages (Toner, Paper, Energy, CO2, and Cost) actually change to reflect print resolution, toner use, duplexing, removal of images and bold fonts, and the like. It is just an approximation, but it gives a decent idea of how each element affects the whole.
There are still a few rough corners with this specific set of features. Notably, while the Remove Images option works great, the software can't tell simple pictures from embedded text on pictorial backgrounds. You could very well end up not printing a large amount of text because of this, as we discovered. Still, the depth of control you're given with Eco printing is very useful.
The M2825DW goes up against Dell's B1163w on another front: printing from mobile devices. The B1163w accomplishes this through Google CloudPrint, AirPrint, and Dell MobilePrint; Samsung's Xpress M2825DW supports Google CloudPrint and Samsung MobilePrint. The two units actually cover much of the same universe of devices, including iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, tablet PCs, and a range of smartphones, as well as Gmail/Google Docs, the Google Chrome browser, and the Chrome OS. Right now this remains a premium-level feature in printers, just beginning to show up in lower-cost models. These Dell and Samsung models are ahead of the curve.
As noted in that review of the B1163w, there's no way we can guarantee setting up mobile printing will be a snap, however. Too many factors are involved, though the clear but simple directions in the user guide (launched via an executable through your browser) covers matters sufficiently, assuming everything else—network, tower availability, firewall, access point, and so on—is working in your favor.
No third-party software comes bundled with the Xpress M2825DW. (The B1163w included Nuance PaperPort 14, for use with its scanner.) However, Samsung does supply what it calls "management tools." These are mostly of limited value, such as Samsung Printer Status—which is basically the Home option in its Easy Printer Manager—while Easy Capture just adds printing and very rudimentary editing of documents to the screen-capture function. Of the lot, the Easy Printer Manager and Easy Eco Driver, which we praised above, are the software stars here, rating a strong two thumbs-up for their raft of configurable options.

Iceland achieves a Happy Planet Index Score of 40.2 and ranks #88 of all the countries analysed.
Iceland's HPI score reflects a high life expectancy, relatively high levels of experienced well-being, and a very high ecological footprint.
Other statistics
Iceland's experienced well-being score is 6.9 out of a possible 10.
This is lower than the average level of experienced well-being in the United States (7.16), but higher than that of Germany (6.72).
The data for experienced well-being draws on responses to the ladder of life question in the Gallup World Poll, which was asked to samples of around 1000 individuals aged 15 or over in each of the countries included in the Happy Planet Index.
Iceland's life expectancy is 81.8 and ranks #6 among the 151 countries analysed.
This is below Japan, the country with highest life expectancy (83.4), but higher than the USA, which has a life expectancy of 78.5.
The life expectancy figure for each country was taken from the 2011 UNDP Human Development Report and reflects the number of years an infant born in that country could expect to live if prevailing patterns of age-specific mortality rates at the time of birth in the country stay the same throughout the infant's life.
Iceland's Ecological Footprint is 6.54 global hectares per capita.
If everyone had the same Ecological Footprint as the average citizen of Iceland:
- the world's Ecological Footprint would be 2.4x larger
- we would need to reduce our Ecological Footprints by a factor of 3.7 in order to stay within sustainable environmental limits
Ecological Footprint is a metric of human demand on nature, used widely by NGOs, the UN and several national governments. It measures the amount of land required to sustain a country's consumption patterns.
For a majority of the countries (142 of the 151), Ecological Footprint data were obtained from the 2011 Edition of Global Footprint Network National Footprints Accounts. For the nine other countries included (Belize, Comoros, Djibouti, Guyana, Hong Kong, Iceland, Luxembourg, Malta, and Palestine), Ecological Footprint figures were estimated using predictive econometric models.

Tyson Foods is voluntarily recalling nearly 34,000 pounds of its chicken products. The US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the massive recall Friday.
It involves 33,840 pounds of mechanically-separated chicken products produced by the firm on October 11, 2013. The chicken was shipped to institutions nationwide and were not available for retail purchase so no need to worry about finding them in grocery stores or neighborhood restaurants.
The recall comes after seven inmates at a Tennessee correctional facility were diagnosed with Salmonella Heidelberg illnesses. FSIS agents, working in conjunction with the Tennessee Department of Health, discovered a link between the mechanically separated chicken products from Tyson Foods and the illness cluster at the facility.
The following product is subject to recall:
- 40-lb. cases, containing four, 10-lb. chubs of "TYSON MECHANICALLY SEPARATED CHICKEN."
If you have this type of chicken at your facility or institution, look for the establishment number "P-13556" inside the USDA mark of inspection with case code 2843SDL1412 – 18.
According to the FSIS, consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses. The most common symptoms of salmonellosis are diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 12 to 72 hours after eating the contaminated product.
Consumers with questions about the recall should contact Tyson Foods' consumer relations department at 866-886-8456.

Excitement will rock Husky Stadium Saturday night when UW hosts No. 19 Boise State in its newly renovated, $281 million jewel. Here are the ways the Dawgs can make the celebration last into Sunday.
By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE – It's an opener like none in the 121-season history of Huskies football.
Never before has UW been displaced from its home field for 21 months. The Dawgs have never moved into an 83,000-square-foot football operations building or had Husky Stadium as stunningly luxurious, loud and unforgettable as it will be on an idyllic Saturday when Washington hosts No. 19 Boise State at 7:06 p.m. (on Fox Sports 1 television, the Washington IMG College radio network and here on GoHuskies.com with the 2013 season's first exclusive live game chat).
"Oh, I'm excited," Huskies outside linebacker Shaq Thompson said, "I've been thinking about this for a long time."
Yet for all that will be grand for the stadium's long-awaiting unveiling, there is only one happening that can truly make Saturday night a purple-and-gold success for what coach Steve Sarkisian says is the deepest and most talented of his five teams at Washington.
"Our team in general, our entire organization is excited," Sarkisian said. "I heard the number already coming in is over 300 boats for the harbor, which is what makes this place so unique. Everything we are hearing from the Dawg Pack (student's section) is that everyone is coming back early; they want to be a part of this. So it makes for a special night.
"The stadium's awesome, and the stadium's great; the new Jumbotron, the lights, the wrapping and everything that goes with it. What's really going to make the place special is how we play, and the product we put on the field.
"That's what makes them excited, that they get the chance to go play again."
Sarkisian and his team leaders have repeatedly said they are humbled to be opening this new stadium. They also remember how Boise State humbled them eight months ago while jumping to an 18-3 lead in beating the Huskies 28-26 in the Las Vegas Bowl.
That loss – and the giveaway defeat late in the Apple Cup the previous game – turned what UW still believes should have been a 9-4 season in 2012 into a third consecutive 7-6 mark.
That has given another edge to Saturday's game that already had more than any opener in Husky history.
|Three Keys For UW vs. Boise State
|Stick with Southwick
|Broncos QB Joe Southwick surprised the Huskies in December with his ability to escape their pass rush and extend plays for huge gains that led to 20 of Boise State's 28 points in its Las Vegas Bowl win. UW has been working for months on pass-rush discipline: staying in lanes and containing on the edges. Executing that in the game could change the result of this rematch.
|Run deep. Run often.
|Giving the ball early to returning 1,400-yard rusher Bishop Sankey and a deep stable of backs -- with healthy-again Jesse Callier and Deontae Cooper plus Dwayne Washington -- would make Boise State standout safeties Jeremy Ioane and Darian Thompson play closer to the line. That would open the deep middle for Keith Price to pass to Kasen Williams and fellow wide receivers, presumably in one-on-one matchups the Huskies believe they can win regularly.
|Manage the hype
|To a man the Huskies have said all month how honored and humbled they are to be opening new Husky Stadium, not to mention how jacked they are about it. Their coach says they need to play with "quiet minds." The more successful the Dawgs are in taking advantage of but not reveling in the roars of more than 70,000 in the sold-out palace, the more likely this unveiling will be a victorious one.
"In the bowl game they tried to quick tempo us, like Coach Sark is now doing to us with our offense," senior safety and co-captain Sean Parker said. "They run a lot of trick plays. We have to be better with our eye discipline and just overall communicating with each other."
"Eye discipline" have been the defense's buzzwords for months. Thought the Broncos are nationally renowned for their fun trick plays, it wasn't double reverses, fumblerooskis or Statute-of-Liberty plays that hurt the Huskies eight-plus months ago. It was the scrambling, improvisational runs and throws by quarterback Joe Southwick. When he didn't run often found receivers who got wide open because nosy Huskies cover men left them to challenge the quarterback's dashes outside.
Four times on third or fourth downs in the Las Vegas Bowl Southwick extended plays or scrambled for long yardage to continue drives that led directly to 20 of Boise State's 28 points.
The Huskies have been emphasizing all month keeping a "cage" around Southwick with a coordinated, tightly woven pass rush.
"Boise will make you pay if you stray with your eyes our get out of your gap," said new starting defensive lineman Evan Hudson.
he former tight end, converted this month, will make his UW defensive debut both at strong-side end and inside at tackle, depending on the formations Boise State shows. The Huskies are so bent on improving their pass rush that produced 27 sacks in 13 games last season that Josh Shirley, their 2012 co-leader in sacks, isn't even on the first team right now. Co-captain Hau'oli Kikaha is opposite Hudson at end on the depth chart, with Andrew Hudson and Shirley behind them.
The Huskies have also been working since spring practice started in March on streamlining communications on defense – both to combat the quick succession of plays opponents such as Boise State and later on Arizona and Oregon present, and to deal with crowd noise.
As much as Husky Stadium is going to rocking Saturday, the Huskies' defense has to be able to get the correct calls and alignment through the din. So now it is relying more on hand signals and lightning-fast substitutions, if need be, than Washington did in December against the Broncos.
The Huskies' offense will be running plays at a faster pace more consistently than it did the last time these teams met. But Washington will be without preseason All-America tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins. He had surgery two weeks ago to place a pin in his broken right pinkie and has been limited in practice all week. The Seattle Times reported Thursday night that he is also suspended for the game, the result of pleading guilty in July to a drunken-driving charge.
Michael Hartvigson and Joshua Perkins have been first in at tight end with Seferian-Jenkins mostly watching practices. Seferian-Jenkins would have been the primary focus of Boise State safeties Jeremy Ioane and Darian Thompson, whom Sarkisian calls "the keys" to the Broncos' active, varied defense.
Without ASJ, the Huskies can force Ioane and Thompson out of double-teaming wide receiver Kasen Williams outside by effectively running the ball. That means returning 1,400-yard rusher Bishop Sankey is likely to get many carries early, as are Jesse Callier and Deontae Cooper.
Callier, a slashing compliment to Chris Polk as a freshman in 2011, and Cooper are coming off anterior cruciate ligament tears. The beloved Cooper is making his collegiate debut following three such knee injuries the last three summers. His first carry in his overdue college debut will likely spark one of the many huge roars – if not tears – from Huskies' fans Saturday night.
As in any game, an established run game would loosen the defense for Keith Price to throw. The fifth-year senior says his previously battered knees feel better than they have since his record-setting 2011 season. That is also the last time he's had an offensive line as settled and healthy as his is now.
This week, Micah Hatchie moved back to left tackle and Ben Riva returned to right tackle, putting those returning starters back where they were in 2012. Colin Tanigawa returns at right guard to play for the first time since he tore his ACL 11½ months ago in the second game of 2012 at LSU.
"I feel great – so far," said the soft-spoken Tanigawa, named a co-captain by team vote last week. "I'm pretty excited. I'm definitely glad to be back at Husky Stadium."
Tanigawa says the offensive line has a chip on its shoulder, "especially in protecting Keith."
Sarkisian is just glad to have the same five guys have practiced on that line all preseason ready for Boise State's varied defensive looks. In 2012, 80 percent of Washington's line got hurt and missed games.
"I think our line is playing is playing really well," Sarkisian said. "We are expecting to see quite a few stunts and games and pressures internally and off the edges by Boise, so we threw a lot at them today. And they handled it very well.
"I like the continuity with our guys."
All that's left for Washington? Harness the overflowing excitement peaking with their return to their new place of a home.
"Believe me I know our guys are going to be fired up. Our fans will be fired up. That's the way college football is supposed to be," Sarkisian said.
"We have to have the ability to quiet our minds."
But not their hearts.
"Oh, it will be awesome," Huskies middle linebacker and co-captain John Timu said. "Just to have that Dawg Walk again that we'd always had. The tailgate part. The true way being a Husky is. Back to where it belongs, in Husky Stadium.
"And I feel bad for our opponents."

The Gazette
CLEVELAND — The Cavaliers played beat the clock Thursday, pulling off a significant trade just hours before the NBA lockout began.
Cleveland dealt enigmatic power forward J.J. Hickson to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for small forward Omri Casspi and a future first-round pick.
The 6-foot-9 Casspi — a fine perimeter shooter and hard-nosed defender — will likely step into the Cavaliers' starting frontcourt alongside center Anderson Varejao and power forward Antawn Jamison.
"We had been constantly looking at Omri since he came out in the (2009) NBA Draft and had ongoing conversations with Sacramento for the last month," Cleveland general manager Chris Grant said.
"He's had two solid seasons, and he's a willing defender who is a fighter and can run the court. We like all of those things about him, and this is also a move that helps us balance our roster more appropriately."
Casspi led the Kings in 3-pointers (92) and 3-point percentage (.372) last season, while averaging 8.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in 71 games. He shot just .412 from the floor and .672 from the foul line, primarily serving as Sacramento's first forward off the bench.
The first Israeli-born player to appear in an NBA game, Casspi had the best shooting night of his career last Oct. 30 at Quicken Loans Arena, making 6-of-7 threes in a win over the Cavaliers.
"I think Cleveland is a wonderful city with great fans, so I can't wait to start," said Casspi, who is currently conducting a basketball camp at a Jewish Community Center in Los Angeles. "There are a lot of natural things that I do. Play hard, tough defense on the floor, and team offense; the stuff that (Cavaliers coach Byron Scott) likes."
The 23-year-old added with a laugh, "I play hard, sometimes I play too hard."
Though both players are the same height and have multiple years under contractual control, their skill sets have nothing in common.
Hickson averaged a career-high 13.8 points and a team-best 8.7 rebounds last season, experiencing his greatest success while playing undersized center. He excelled near the basket, but frequently wandered outside the lane to take low-percentage shots.
The three-year veteran also added to his long list of mental lapses and displays of defensive indifference, making him one of the most maddening talents in franchise history.
It became clear that Grant and Scott had reached their tipping point last week when Cleveland used the fourth overall pick in the draft on power forward Tristan Thompson.
"Trades are never easy because this is a people business," Grant said. "We drafted J.J., and he grew up here and helped us win a lot of games. He was great for our organization and good in the community, so we're very happy for him and wish him nothing but the best.
"But with where our team is heading and the players that we've drafted, I thought this was the right decision for the franchise."
Sacramento's first-round pick is lottery protected in 2012 — meaning the Cavaliers won't receive it unless the Kings make the playoffs — and high-pick protected from 2013-17.
Cleveland would not be conveyed the selection in 2013 (if it falls between pick 1-13), 2014 (if it falls between 1-12), or 2015-2017 (if it falls between 1-10) unless Sacramento takes a significant step forward in the NBA standings.
If the Kings fail to finish with one of the league's top 20 records in 2017, they would send the Cavaliers their second-round pick to complete the trade.
"This is another step in our ongoing process to shape and position our team and roster for future growth," Grant said. "We also were able to obtain another important asset with the additional first-round draft pick."
Hickson has one season and $2.4 million left on his initial pro contract, but Sacramento inherits the option to tack on an additional year for $3.4 million in 2012-13. In the latter scenario, Hickson would become a restricted free agent, but the Kings have the right to match any offer sheet he receives.
Casspi is under contract for two years, totaling $3.6 million, along with Cleveland's option season in 2013-14 (valued at $3.3 million).
Though Hickson is reportedly seeking a huge raise in his next contract, Grant denied it was a factor in the swap.
"At no point did we have any discussions about salary or contracts with J.J.," he said. "This was a move about Casspi and realigning the balance of our roster.
"We've said all along that we need to have the flexibility to help ourselves going forward. This is another step toward us doing that."

The assignment, if they chose to accept it, was to create a lunchbox alarm.
Ashley Lee, a third-grade teacher at Coronado Elementary School, assigned an extra-credit project to her students Nov. 15. The kids had finished a unit on electricity and the book "Dear Mr. Henshaw" by Beverly Cleary.
"(The book) is about a kid with divorced parents," Lee said. "He goes to another school and people steal things out of his lunchbox, repeatedly."
Thus, the need for the alarm rises. But there are complications.
"His idea backfires when he opens his own lunchbox," said third-grader Patrick Tyree, one of those who accepted Lee's challenge.
Tyree's lunchbox alarm consisted of a D-cell battery taped to a small piece of plywood. Two wires ran from the positive and negative ends of the battery and coiled around the open ends of a clothespin.
"If I let go, it'll make a complete circuit and the buzzer will sound," he said. "If not, the circuit is open and it won't sound."
All of the kids' alarms were quite inventive, but one of Lee's students constructed a rather complicated alarm. A short length of chain was taped to the top of a plastic box. The other end was attached to a magnet - when the top of the box was lifted off, the magnet came in contact with two metal wing nuts attached to the inside of the box. The wing nuts were wired to a buzzer and a D-cell battery; when the magnet came in contact with the wing nuts, electricity went through the wires to the buzzer, making it beep. The student also wired a switch so that the alarm could be turned off completely.
Most of the children got help - in some cases, a lot of help - from their relatives.
"My mom helped me with it a little bit," said third-grader Patrick Craven.
"Me and my mom and my mom's friend's friend worked on it," said classmate Andrew Kniveton.
And then there's the stuff the kids said they didn't have time for.
"On this, if I had a little more time, it'd be a little more active," Craven said. "I'd make it so it wouldn't go off..."
"A controller thing!" said Kniveton, interrupting. "I'd like to put a little TV in it so I could watch TV while I'm eating lunch. If a teacher came by, I'd say, 'No, teacher, I'm certainly not watching cartoons, especially not SpongeBob."'
The students designed their own alarms - their ingenuity was their own, Lee said.
Lee said the children also learned about insulators and conductors, parallel circuits and electromagnets.
"I was really amazed that an electromagnet can be turned off," Tyree said.
The project may spur some kids to pursue a career as a scientist.
"If I can't do that, I'll be a prosecuting attorney," Tyree said.

The Physician Assistant (PA) profession originated at Duke in the mid 1960s. Dr. Eugene A. Stead Jr., then Chairman of the Department of Medicine, believed that mid-level practitioners could increase consumer access to health services by extending the time and skills of the physician. Today, physician assistants are well-recognized and highly sought-after members of the health care team. Working interdependently with physicians, PAs provide diagnostic and therapeutic patient care in virtually all medical specialties and settings. They take patient histories, perform physical examinations, order laboratory and diagnostic studies and develop patient treatment plans. In all states, including North Carolina, PAs have the authority to write prescriptions. Their job descriptions are as diverse as those of their supervising physicians, and include patient education, team leadership, medical education, health administration and research.
One-third of graduate PAs provide primary health care services, especially in family and general internal medicine. About 40% of graduate PAs work in hospital settings. About one-fourth of all clinically active PAs work in surgery and its subspecialities.
PAs are interdependent members of the health care team. Many tasks have been integrated into the PA role, particularly in the institutional and larger clinic setting. While not always clinical in nature, these tasks are essential to the practice of the PA's supervising physician. For example, PAs in the tertiary care setting are often involved in the acquisition, recording and analysis of research data, the development of patient and public education programs, and the administration of their departments' clinical and educational services. Involvement in these other services has provided job advancement for PAs in these settings.
Additional nonclinical positions are developing for PAs. While these positions do not involve patient care, they depend on a strong clinical knowledge base.
The MHS curriculum provides PAs with depth of knowledge in the basic medical sciences and clinical medicine, as well as skills in administration and research. With these expanded skills, graduates can take advantage of the wide diversity of positions available to PAs.

TUCSON, Ariz. – For the third straight day a member of the Arizona men's swim team set a Pac-12 record as Kevin Cordes set the all-time meet mark in the 100 breast to lead the Wildcats on day three at the Pac-12 Championships on Friday inside Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center.
Cordes broke a five year old meet record with his 51.23 in the 100 breast on Friday, breaking Dami Dugonjic of California's previous record of 51.41. Cordes took first in the event by more than four tenths of a second. Teammate Brad Tandy finished in third with a time of 53.14.
Cordes was not the only member of the Wildcats to earn an individual title on the day as senior Giles Smith took top honors in the 100 fly with a time of 45.92.
The Wildcats had at least one member of the team advance to the "A" final in each event on Friday. Eric Solis and Sam Rowan got it started as they finished 4-5 in the 400 IM. Solis clocked in with a time of 3:45.22, while Rowan finished in 3:46.42. Meanwhile, Michael Meyer won the "B" final with a time of 3:44.66.
In addition to Smith's victory in the 100 fly, the Wildcats had three other swimmers advance to the "B" final of the event. Renny Richmond placed fourth with a time of 47.11 with Ellis Miller placing sixth and Alan Winder finishing eighth.
Senior Matt Barber had a solid sixth-place finish in the 200 free with a time of 1:34.90. Freshman Thane Maudslien placed fourth in the "B" final with a time of 1:36.18.
Senior Mitchell Friedemann closed out the individual events for the night with a fifth-place finish in the 100 back with a time of 47.01.

The Good(?) Book
By Dave Miner-Oracle on Jan 14, 2009
As I was getting my hair cut the other night, the stylist asked if I had any New Year's resolutions. Only one: to work less than last year. Now, if you judge by my output to this blog over the past year, you'd say I was already slacking pretty well: 15 posts, most of which categorize as announcing OpenSolaris developments. Of course, that's not a particularly fair criterion since we've kicked ass on two full releases of OpenSolaris, plus previews, a special student kit, and bi-weekly (more or less) development builds.
Nevertheless, I've been working basically two jobs, and writing a lot. More than I ever have in my life. All that prose (plus the equally length contributions of my co-authors, Nick and Jerry) will be published in the next few weeks, in OpenSolaris Bible.
The Amazon page has been up for close to six months now, so a few lost souls have stumbled upon it already and, apparently, pre-ordered. I admire the patience of those who did - I'm usually not patient enough to pre-order anything, let alone six months early!
Like Jerry, this was my first venture into the publishing arena, and honestly, I wouldn't have without Nick, who was the originator of the project. Nick's prior experience with Professional C++ meant we'd at least have a clue about how we should do things. The draft proposal he'd written was also very comprehensive. Even so, I still had a lot of trepidation, since I knew how much work I had on my plate with getting the 2008.05 release ready and the 6-month cycle we're targeting for further releases. It probably helped that I'd just come off a 3-week vacation when Nick got in touch with me; burnout had receded a bit. But my wife said the one thing that tipped me over to signing up: it's unlikely you'll look back in 5 years and regret having done it, but you might regret not doing it. With that, 2008 became a blur of working long days on the distro, then spending the evenings writing about it. Hence my New Year's resolution.
As Jerry noted in his blog entry (which also includes the table of contents, which I won't repeat here), it was a pretty equal collaboration, with the chapters split among us. Identifying which ones we each wrote is a good parlor game, I guess, but if you've read past entries here or looked at my opensolaris.org profile you can easily figure out many of the ones I wrote. It's a big book, not far from 1000 pages, and covers the breadth of the operating system for users and administrators, primarily those with little or no OpenSolaris experience, though I'm sure an experienced user will be able to learn a lot as well. We all certainly did in the process of writing it!
We also really tried to eat open source dogfood in the writing process. OpenSolaris was of course the OS we used, and OpenOffice was used in generating the manuscript; all of the files submitted to Wiley had to be in Microsoft Word format, but we were quite successful in generating those from OpenOffice. We exchanged material primarily using Mercurial, with the master repository hosted on my OpenSolaris server. The only point at which I had to venture off into proprietary software was during the final review, which was in PDF format, where Acrobat was needed to mark up the files. That one was a bit complicated, since there isn't a current version of it for OpenSolaris. However, I had good luck running the Linux version under Ubuntu inside a Virtual Box VM hosted on OpenSolaris. Virtual Box was a very important tool, used in generating many of the examples and screen shots in the book.
I look forward to the book's release and the feedback from reviews. There are certainly things I think could be better, and we'll see if those are at all similar to what readers think!

What better way to start off the New Year than with a very special breakfast? Whether you choose to celebrate New Years Eve and are in need of morning after cure, or if you like to save your celebrations for January 1, this breakfast will certainly hit the spot!
Maple Bacon & Sausage Risotto
- 4 ounces maple bacon, thick sliced cut into 1/2 inch pieces (or use regular bacon and stir in 1-2 tbsp maple syrup at the end)
- 4 ounces breakfast sausage – pre cooked, I prefer Jimmy Dean for the right flavor
- 2 tbsp shallots, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 cups Arborio rice (risotto rice)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup white wine, I used a light white, like a pinot grigio
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
In small sauce pan, combine broth and wine. bring to a simmer over low heat. Meanwhile, in heavy bottomed large sauce pan, add bacon pieces and cook over medium high heat until the bacon starts to brown. (don't fully brown, as you will continue to let it cook) Add breakfast sausage, shallots, and garlic stir until combined and shallots are translucent and garlic is fragrant. (about 2 minutes) Add olive oil and Arborio rice. Cook over medium high heat, and stir until the rice begins to smell slightly nutty and make a popping sound. Ladle in one cup of broth mixture and deglaze the rice pan, stirring constantly and being sure to scrap all brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium/low and continue stirring. As the rice absorbs the liquid, continue to add more of the broth mixture 1 cup at a time and stir constantly. The process should take about 25 minutes. If you need to add more liquid than the recipe calls for, do so, just make sure that the liquid is hot. (all rice is different) You can tell the rice is done when it is cooked al dente. (think a little firmer than your favorite pasta). Remove from the heat and add in the butter, rosemary, pepper and Parmesan cheese. Stir until well combined. Top with your favorite style of egg and enjoy!
Olive Oil Fried Eggs
- 6 eggs
- 3 cups of olive oil – extra light
- salt and pepper to taste
Fill frying pan with olive oil so that it is 1/2 inch deep and heat until fragrant and slightly shimmering over medium high heat. (about 3 cups for an 8 inch pan) In small bowl sprayed with pan spray, crack one egg at a time and gently pour the eggs from the dish into the olive oil. Reduce heat to low and with a ladle or metal spoon, continuously baste the eggs with a small amount of oil over the tops of the eggs until they begin to turn white. When the edges of the eggs turn a slight golden brown, gently remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!

May 2, 2013Live Scoring
DEKALB, Ill. – The Northern Illinois men's golf team will travel to Nashport, Ohio for the Mid-American Championships Friday, May 3 through Sunday, May 5. The four-round event will be contested at Longaberger Golf Club.In the only 72-hole event on the schedule, NIU will joined by the seven other MAC schools all trying to catch Kent State, the four-time defending champion of the conference title. "With Kent State dominating the conference, they have the target on their back," NIU head coach Tom Porten said. "We're going to try to move up on the 36-hole day and get into that top pairing. We played with them at Purdue and it was a good experience for us. Our guys are hungry to try to get back to playing with them again."Three of the five Huskies in Porten's lineup this week played in the MAC Championships when it was held at Longaberger Golf Club three years ago. Senior Kurtis Luedtke (Aurora, Ill./West) was the top finisher of that trio, shooting three straight 77s to secure a tie for 33rd. Redshirt senior Griffin Bauman (Crystal Lake, Ill./Central) and senior Paul Hammerschmidt (Westerville, Ohio/Central) tied for 37th after shooting their best rounds on Saturday and Sunday. "We had some success with Griffin, Kurtis, and Hammer there three years ago," Porten said. "It's a great opportunity for the four seniors, three of whom have played (Longaberger) in the championship prior to end their careers on a high note."The fourth senior to crack this weekend's lineup is Bryce Emory (Aurora, Ill./Marmion Academy). Emory enters the event in good form, less than a month removed from his Jim West Intercollegiate victory at TPC Craig Ranch, and he led the team with a tie for 24th at the Boilermaker Intercollegiate. Emory has posted finishes of T30 (2011) and T38 (2012) in previous MAC Championship starts. Junior Shawn Foley (Pewaukee, Wis./Waukesha North) rounds out Porten's scorecard. Foley is the only underclassman making the trip, and he will also be making his MAC Championships debut. The conference will be challenging one of the "Greatest Public Golf Courses in America" according to Golf Digest's 2013-2014 list. In the two most recent MAC Championships held at Longaberger Golf Club, the Huskies finished ninth (2008) and sixth (2010). The course will play to par 72 and 7,243 yards this year.Foley will be the first Huskie to tee off, putting his drive in play at 7:38 a.m. (CT) on Friday morning to begin 36 holes of play, Emory will be the final Huskie off on Friday morning, his tee time is scheduled for 8:26 a.m. (CT).

STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford Football Weekly and host Kevin Danna talked Tuesday with Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football David Shaw about Stanford's comeback victory versus Arizona - a challenge the the Cardinal needed - and what he learned about his quarterback's toughness and feet. Coach Shaw also previewed the upcoming contest at seventh-ranked Notre Dame.
Four players also joined Stanford Football Weekly. Senior offensive guard Khalil Wilkes (five starts in 2012) described the big block he made to pave the winning touchdown last Saturday for Stepfan Taylor. Senior quarterback and Pac-12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week Josh Nunes (360 yards passing, five total touchdowns vs. Arizona) discussed his clutch fourth-and-nine completion in the final minute of the fourth quarter. Junior defensive end Henry Anderson (seven tackles, PBU vs. Arizona) gave insight into the confidence for the defense to close the game. Senior defensive end Ben Gardner (sack, two PBU) explained the defensive line's tactics for knocking down passes when it counted the most against Arizona and gave some early thoughts on the Notre Dame offense.
No. 17 Stanford (4-1 overall, 2-1 Pac-12) travels across the country later this week for a national showdown and renewal of the annual rivalry with Notre Dame. The 12:30 p.m. (PT) matchup will be broadcast nationally on NBC.
Two regular season home games remain for the Cardinal at Stanford Stadium this season - Oct. 27 vs. Washington State and Nov. 10 vs. Oregon State - and tickets may be purchased online at GoStanford.com, at the Stanford Ticket Office or by calling 1-800-STANFORD.

George Clooney and his girlfriend of two years Elisabetta Canalis have reportedly split. Polish up your lady parts, girls. They've asked that their "privacy be respected," which hopefully doesn't mean I shouldn't be writing a blog about it. It's a slow news day. In an interesting twist, a couple of weeks ago Elisabetta told an Italian magazine that she "will be married some day." I'm sure that had nothing to do with self-proclaimed eternal bachelor George Clooney running for the hills...or the yachts. I hope this is a lesson to all women that when you're dating a hot movie star who doesn't want to get married, enjoy it and keep your trap shut. While I feel bad for Elisabetta, I think this might be the best thing for Clooney. Over the past couple of years he seems to have gotten a little too serious, talking only about Darfur and shooting movies that only he is in. Maybe now he'll be free to go back to his prankster side. Come on, girl.

He blamed pressures of show business for her weight loss and assured the celebrity tabloid show, "Dad is on the case."
The R&B protege has repeatedly denied having an eating disorder even though she is much thinner than she was during the last season of Fox TV's "The Simple Life."
Fox canceled the show after the third season, but "Simple Life" producers say they plan to go ahead with a fourth season and shop it to other networks.

Use business unit in a sentence
The company's new CEO admitted yesterday that the business unit that is in dire need of reform and renovation is accounting.
You should try to always be a strong business unit so that you can always count on everyone in your work place.
They were one business unit short, so the manager decided to get that going while everyone else adjusted to their new roles.

I suppose anything is possible, but the nature of the directives and corrective action time lines permitted with the 777 do not suggest that an unsafe plane was allowed to continue in use.
