As the price of gasoline has risen in recent years, so has the cost of other products and services but, unfortunately, for most people, it is not the same with wages.
It seems like a fair deal would be if wages kept rising with the cost of living but they don't. Things like food, mortgage, school tuition, insurance premiums and other expenses apparently needed in many people's lives continuously suck the cash out of their wallets, while some experts blame it on the cost of producing energy in our current times.
"There aren't any laws at a federal or local level that demand that employers give employee raises, and top it off these people's budgets are increasingly tighter with the inflation," said Steve Reed, an economist with the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Reed added that despite the stress on working families and unions' demands for better pay, it's a complex issue in the world of finances.
According to University of Houston economics professor Barton Smith, to increase the general population's wages to meet the demands of the cost of living would have negative consequences for everyone in the long term.
"It seems unfair, but that could make things even more expensive," Smith said.
The professor explained that business owners face growing expenses in the economy like everyone else and to make them give raises to their workers, they would be forced to also raise prices of products or services offered.
"On the other hand, when employees are forced to spend less due to a tighter budget, it reduces consumption and demand in the market and as a result inflation decreases," Smith said.
The UH economist even criticized the increase of minimum wage over the federal level in states like Washington and Oregon, a proposal advocated by some religious groups and community organizations.
"Why should an employer be obligated to pay higher wages to someone who might not be motivated to get ahead in education and sometimes doesn't even finísh high school?" asked Smith.
However, Rice University economist Ken Medlock, a fellow at the Baker Institute, said the federal government should change the way it regulates the market and small and large companies.
"Congress should continue enacting laws to control the exorbitant salaries of CEO's and presidents, in contrast with the limited wages lower level employees receive in too many companies," said Medlock.
Smith also recognized the growing divide between a rich minority and a poor majority in recent decades and warned about the need for a solution.
A report by Keystone Research Center in Pennsylvania released in May last year, shows that since the 1940s the income of the wealthy has progressively increased while the working class faces more economic challenges to pay for bare necessities.

PROVIDENCE - After being shut out in two straight road losses, Providence College's slumbering offense came to life in a thorough 6-2 rout of listless Northeastern on Friday night in front of 2,127 fans at Schneider Arena.
Derek Army scored a hat trick for the Friars, who also received a goal and two assists from Mark Jankowski, goal and an assist from Tim Schaller, a goal by Chris Rooney, and two assists from Paul De Jersey.
Freshman Jon Gillies made 22 saves for PC, which broke a 0-for-19 streak with a power play goal in the second period. Fourth-place Providence (5-4-1) moved a point ahead of Merrimack in the Hockey East standings. Northeastern (4-5-1) remains in sixth place.
"We got some puck luck tonight,'' said PC coach Nate Leaman. "Jon Gillies was the difference in the game. I thought the chances were pretty close to being even. We finished on ours and Jon played really well. We played sloppy defensively and he kind of bailed us out.''

Nightjars (Caprimulgidae)
Montane Nightjar (Caprimulgus ruwenzorii) - HBW 5, p. 370
French: Engoulevent du Ruwenzori
German: Ruwenzorinachtschwalbe
Spanish: Chotacabras del Ruwenzori
Other common names: Ruwenzori Nightjar
Taxonomy: Caprimulgus ruwenzorii Ogilvie-Grant, 1908, Mubuku Valley, Mt Ruwenzori.
Often considered conspecific with C. poliocephalus; these two form superspecies with C. nigriscapularis and C. pectoralis. Angolan population has been separated as race koesteri, and in tail pattern appears intermediate between nominate and guttifer; this isolated population has even been suggested to be a separate species. Race guttifer has occasionally been treated as a separate species. Both of these forms have alternatively been considered races of C. poliocephalus. Two subspecies currently recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- ruwenzorii Ogilvie-Grant, 1908 - SW Uganda to E Zaire; separate population in W Angola.
- guttifer Grote, 1921 - SW Tanzania, N Malawi and NE Zambia; separate population in NE Tanzania.

Acuvue 2 Reviews
Acuvue 2 stands over the test of time
I've used Acuvue 2 for years and am still a loyal customer to the product! These lenses have stood up to the test of time as the most comfortable, easy to use and fun contacts I've ever worn! I've tried a few others over the years, but always come back to these instead.
Goor Times wearing Acuvue 2
I have never worn contacts as comfortable as Acuvue 2 contact lenses. They never give me dry eyes, and are super easy to clean.
Acuvue 2 are excellent and high quality
Previous contacts I have worn tend to rip after keeping them in for a couple weeks at a time, but not Acuvue 2 contacts. These things are very durable.
Very comfortable!
These are the best contact out there. The Acuvue 2 contacts are by far the most comfortable weekly disposable contact lenses I have worn. The Acuvue2 contacts always stay comfortable the entire 2 weeks and sometimes even longer. I love the fact that this site has my prescription on file, which makes reordering my Acuve 2 contacts a breeze.
Acuvue2 15 plus years!
I am 71 years old and have been wearing the Accuvue 2 contact lens for over 15 years. I can usually wear a pair for a month before replacing and I don't even realize they are in my eyes. I do, however, take the 2 week Acuvue lenses out overnight. I use a computer daily and have no problems! I am ONE satisfied user of Acuvue2!
Acuve 2 - excellent in the eye
I just started to wear Acuvue 2 contacts at the beginning of the year (I will not go back to eyeglasses). The quality of the Acuve 2 lens is good and the vision is even better. You can not go wrong with Acuvue2 contact lenses they are excellent in the eye. 1800Getlens.com is the place to get cheap Acuvue 2 contact lenses too.

Home » NOLA Ready » Hurricane Season » Leaving
The New Orleans area has a limited road system which floods easily. You may decide to leave town before dangerous weather happens. We recommend that you evacuate before it is recommended and leave as early as possible.
If a mandatory evacuation is ordered, all citizens must leave.
The hurricane wind scale uses wind speeds to place hurricanes into groups or categories. The faster the wind moves, the more damage a hurricane can cause.
Prepare not only for mandatory evacuatation for larger storms, but also for prolonged Sheltering-In-Place in smaller ones, with only whatever supplies you have on hand, and possibly without water and/or power.
Back to the Top
A hurricane watch means dangerous weather could happen and a warning means dangerous weather will happen.
Contraflow is when both sides of the interstate are used for drivers to evacuate an area. In other words, traffic no longer flows two ways on the highway; you can only go one way (out of the City.) If you plan to evacuate with your own vehicle, study contraflow maps ahead of time, in order to understand where you will and will not be able to go. You cannot enter some cities from the interstate during contraflow. Some interstate exits will close. You must stay on the interstate until you reach a major city like Baton Rouge.
Click here for a map of contraflow, and here for written instructions for how major road around New Orleans will alter during contraflow, and where you will be able to exit. For close up maps showing the I-10 entrance at Williams Boulevard, Clearview Boulevard and Veteran's Boulevard, click here.
During an evacuation, estimate that it will take you about 4 times as long as it usually does to travel to your destination. Avoiding traffic by leaving early can cut gas costs in half. If you cannot leave early, plan to spend 50 cents per mile on gas.
The City of New Orleans provides transportation assistance for all who have no means of transportation to leave the City of New Orleans or who have physical limitations that keep them from getting out. During a mandatory evacuation, the City picks up citizens from one of 17 evacuspots, located around the City, and brings them to the Union Pacific Terminal. From there, citizens will leave by bus for locations outside the danger zone.
Those with medical issues must register for the Special Needs Registry to assessed by the Department of Health to ensure the can City provide the medical transportation needed.
There are 17 evacuspot locations spread across the City. Four of these evacuspots are designated for Senior Citizens, and include increased resources specifically to help seniors and those with minor medical issues evacuate.

You can find out where shelter are during an emergency at one of the shelter information points in Louisiana. You can find these locations on the Get a Game Plan website or by calling the American Red Cross at toll-free number, (866) GET-INFO or (866) 438-4636.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has to evacuate pets. That does not mean you can take your pet with you anywhere you go. It means the government has to keep your pet safe during an emergency.
For health reasons, human shelters do not allow pets, but some have pet shelters next to them. Call the Humane Society of Louisiana to find a pet shelter and get more information on pets and emergencies here.
In your emergency kit we recommend you keep hand-held radio so you can hear updates from stations like WWL 870AM in case your phone dies or your electricity fails.
Those living in trailers or mobile homes face greater risk of damage to their property and their lives. You should evacuate for any storm, and are required to evacuate during a Category 3, 4 or 5 storm. Before leaving:
Pregnant women should take special caution during a disaster, and if possible, evacuate early and even if the city does not require a mandatory evacuation. Smaller storms can still knock out power for prolonged periods of time.
Don't do too much during a disaster. It is important to adjust your pace when you are pregnant.
Caregivers and those with special needs, disabilities, or advanced age should keep in mind the special physical, health and emotional needs that elders have during an evacuation. These populations should plan to leave as early possible to avoid laborious waits in traffic and further discomforts that come with a late evacuation

New Orleans is not like any other city in the world. Because of its unusual geography, it is much more likely to take damage during a storm that will result in extreme loss of life, injury and property damage.
The city lies below sea level. It was built on swampland hundreds of years ago and due to weather, climate changes, and erosion, the city has sunk. This makes New Orleans like a bowl. The reason it does not flood every day is because of levees, which are high walls and floodgates that prevent water from entering the City. During normal rainfall, pumps in the sewers remove water from the streets.
During a mandatory evacuation, all citizens are required to leave, and the City will not have shelters within Orleans Parish. hotels will close, businesses will close and curfew put in place to prevent theft. All people are expected to leave and those who stay may be arrested if they leave their homes.
If the Mayor declares an emergency evacuation, you must leave to protect your own health and safety, as well as those around you, including first responders and volunteers.
First, contact your airline or car rental company to arrange emergency transportation out of town. If you do not have transportation, you can go to a staging center at the Sheraton Hotel (500 Canal Street) or the Harrah's Casino (8 Canal Street) to take a bus to the airport. You will be met by airline staff who will help you arrange a ticket out of town.

Opinion 2.23 - HIV Testing
Physicians' duties to promote patients' welfare and to improve the public's health are fostered by routinely testing their adult patients for HIV. Physicians must balance these obligations with their concurrent duties to their individual patients' best interest by following the guidelines below:
(1) In order to protect patients, avoid injury to third parties, and promote public health, physicians should support routine universal screening for HIV with opt-out provisions.
(2) Although medical and social advances have minimized the need for specific written consent prior to HIV testing, the ethical tenets of respect for autonomy and informed consent require that physicians continue to seek patients' informed consent to undergo any form of medical treatment, including refusal of HIV testing. Given the potential benefits to a patient (and the patient's intimate others) of knowing his/her HIV status, it is appropriate for physicians to make efforts to persuade reluctant patients to be screened. Physicians should, however, respect the decision of a patient who "opts out." Unless required by law, patients' consent to HIV testing does not need to be documented in writing. However, the conversation concerning testing should be documented in the patient's chart. It is justifiable to test patients without prior consent only in limited cases where the harms to individual autonomy are offset by significant benefits to known third parties. Such exceptions include testing for the protection of occupationally exposed health care professionals or patients.
(3) Physicians must work to ensure that patients identified as being HIV positive receive appropriate follow-up care and counseling.
(4) Physicians must comply with all applicable disease reporting laws while taking appropriate measures to safeguard the confidentiality of patients' medical information to the extent possible.
(5) Physicians must honor their obligation to promote the public's health by working to prevent HIV-positive individuals from infecting third parties within the constraints of the law. If an HIV-positive individual poses a significant threat of infecting an identifiable third party, the physician should:
(a) notify the public health authorities, if required by law;
(b) attempt to persuade the infected patient to cease endangering the third party; and
(c) if permitted by state law, notify the endangered third party without revealing the identity of the source person. (I, IV, VII)

Accounting study examines earning reports, claims, lawsuits
Last year, when a pension fund owning stock in Bank of New York Mellon brought suit against that financial behemoth, the fund not only took aim at the bank's allegedly fraudulent currency trading, but cited a variety of upbeat claims in its Securities Exchange Commission filings that the plaintiff considered highly doubtful.
The fund singled out the bank's claims of "provid[ing] superior client service, strong investment performance and the highest fiduciary standards...and deliver[ing] top-tier returns to our shareholders."
Complaints about such corporate self-congratulation and optimism are a common feature of securities lawsuits -- but also a hotly debated one, with some judges dismissing expansive or optimistic language cited by plaintiffs as immaterial and defendants labeling it mere "puffery."
Yet, now, a study co-authored by Fisher Assistant Professor of Accounting Andrew Van Buskirk in a leading accounting journal finds that, puffery or not, such language makes a major difference in whether or not shareholders initiate lawsuits against companies. Read More >>

The Coordinating Committee includes one representative from each of the committees and makes administrative and program decisions during the course of the year.
Additionally, the Coordinating Committee seeks to have balanced representation that is inclusive of all regions and the experiences of those most impacted by the problems and conditions of the predominant agrifood system. All committees, including the Coordinating Committee, hold regular monthly calls and ideally a minimum of one face-to-face meeting per year. The work agenda for the Alliance is set by the membership during an annual assembly. Additional opportunities for the fullest degree of participation and improved communication will be explored.
All decisions made in the committees and by the membership are made by consensus. In the event that full consensus is unable to be reached, decision will be made by voting.
Through food sovereignty, the Earth can feed all living things.

Commander Sergei Krikalev and Flight Engineer John Phillips began the week with the repair of a faulty restraint cable on the Station exercise treadmill. The broken cable, which is used to hold the treadmill's gyroscope in place, had been detected during a routine inspection by the crew last week. The treadmill is one of three exercise options for the Space Station crew and has been operational since the repair.
On Wednesday, after removing contents from Pressurized Mating Adapter No. 2, which also serves as the forward docking port for Space Shuttles on the U.S. segment, and the Quest Airlock, Phillips depressurized the modules. This was done to rehearse procedures that will be employed during the STS-114 mission to conserve Shuttle nitrogen supplies during the spacewalk.
Throughout the week, Phillips set up and performed his first session of the FOOT (Foot Reaction Forces During Space Flight) experiment. He wore specially-designed leggings that allow researchers to capture data regarding forces and use of the lower extremity muscles. The data will help scientists design effective muscle and bone loss countermeasure programs for crewmembers involved in long duration spaceflight. The crew also worked with a variety of other U.S. and Russian biomedical experiments.

IRVING - Jason Garrett is in a hurry.
As interim coach of the Dallas Cowboys, and still the offensive coordinator, he has no time for chitchat, no time for anything but work. All those congratulatory calls, texts and e-mails piling up will have to wait.
"I'm not overly concerned about getting back with everybody," he said during one of his brief news conferences this past week. "I think they understand that I appreciate the support."
Garrett can't slow down because there is always something to do next. His world is an NFL assembly line of meetings, walkthroughs, practices and more meetings, all culminating in a game - and he has only eight of them to show Jerry Jones he's the right man to lead America's Team.
Jones flipped over the team's leadership structure this past week, tossing out coach-defensive coordinator Wade Phillips and promoting Garrett, a 44-year-old Princeton grad who's never been a head coach at any level but has long been viewed as a great candidate.
With the playoffs a lost cause, Jones made this change to recalibrate the stakes for the second half of the season. How everyone performs from now on will go a long way toward deciding who remains with the organization and who doesn't.
Since that includes the coach, it's little wonder he's moving so quickly. And how's this for added pressure? Jones said Friday on KRLD-FM in Dallas that, even before he fired Phillips, Super Bowl-winning coaches were inquiring about the job. He didn't name names.
Garrett has a lot of cleaning up to do if he wants to make a good impression. Dallas is 1-7 and could be playing its worst football since the 1960 expansion season, when Tom Landry's cast of has-beens and never-weres went 0-11-1. The Cowboys have lost five straight, giving up 121 points in the last three games, at least 35 each time. The offense is sputtering behind a line that's not blocking, runners who aren't running and a 38-year-old, fill-in quarterback who hasn't won since 2007.
The baffling part is that this team won the NFC East and a playoff game last year with virtually the same cast. They were widely thought to have a chance of playing in the Super Bowl, which happens to be coming to Cowboys Stadium. Instead, they're contending for the first pick in the draft.
This roster was built to win now, which makes things tougher for Garrett. He can't try a youth movement because there aren't many youngsters to try.
Bad drafts have interrupted the cycle of having kids ready to replace the veterans in front of them. For instance, the Cowboys gave up on an eighth member of their 2009 draft class just this past week, leaving only kicker David Buehler, linebackers Victor Butler and Brandon Williams, and quarterback Stephen McGee. All you need to know about McGee is that Dallas is sticking with Jon Kitna as the replacement for Tony Romo when the Cowboys play the New York Giants today.
Garrett isn't big on sharing information, especially about the lineup. While he speaks politely and enthusiastically, he's mastered the art of talking without really saying anything.
Garrett has been on the staff for 3 years, so he probably has an idea who overachieved last year and who is underachieving this year. Perhaps he's giving them all one last chance to snap out of it; once they reveal themselves, then he'll start shaking things up.
Phillips refused to make an example out of anyone. He talked a lot about accountability, but with guys rarely getting benched, demoted or cut, it was just talk.
Jones essentially told the players they got Phillips fired by not responding. Garrett's message to players was that he's not going to let them let him down. He laid out expectations and the consequences for failing to fulfill those expectations.
This is a guy who spent a year as a college assistant coach, then a season in the World League and another in the CFL before making an NFL roster, only to last for 12 seasons. He made himself a keeper despite being good enough to play in just 25 games. It only makes sense that he's looking to trust guys with the instincts and passion he had.
Even guys with thick resumes and secure contracts consider themselves put on notice.
"Guys like myself or (co-captain Keith Brooking) or whoever else is supposedly supposed to be here ... you have to show the younger guys never to give up," linebacker DeMarcus Ware said.
Jones doesn't expect Garrett to perform miracles this half-season. Wins would be great, but he'll settle for improved effort.
The decision on whether to keep Garrett for 2011 and beyond probably won't require a detailed breakdown of game films or statistical analysis. It should be apparent to everyone if the redheaded coach lights a fire under this club.
He's already awakened something within cornerback Mike Jenkins.
Jenkins has gone from making the Pro Bowl last season to making all the highlight shows this past week for a play that underscored why Phillips had to go. Against Green Bay last Sunday, Jenkins had a chance to tackle a running back a few yards from the end zone and didn't even bother trying. He was allowed to stay in the game and wasn't publicly chastised for it. Why wouldn't he have a sense of entitlement - especially since he's also kept his job despite repeatedly getting beaten and often drawing pass interference penalties when he fears getting beaten?
Yet when Jenkins got word Tuesday that he had to be at team headquarters by 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, he snapped to attention.
He brought a notebook and an open mind to Garrett's first meeting.
"I thought he pointed out a lot of good things," Jenkins said. "I took a lot of notes and took down a lot of key words that he used. I'm going to take it with me. ... It's a new day for me. It's a new day for everybody."

Mark Gleason, the Director of Philadelphia Schools Partnership (PSP) described at the American Educational Research Association Convention that his suggested Portfolio model for school reform should always include, "Dumping the losers in order to create a higher bar for education and high performers." You can listen here. According to Noam Chomsky, "Education must provide the opportunities for self-fulfillment; it can at best provide a rich and challenging environment for the individual to explore in its own way."
How can this ever become a reality when high performing schools are measured with limited tools and means that do not encourage any topic or subject that cannot be tested?
When you dump the losers and say, "Schools shouldn't have a right to exist. Students have a right to an education (not a public one)," then you are either entirely oblivious to the fact that children are not commodities or you simply could care less. The dictionary includes three different definitions for portfolio; a flat case for documents, a representation of someone's creative work or as it refers to school reform - a group of investments. It is a great idea to invest in all of our children, except that is not what this is. This is an isolated investment in those children who can score high on tests or are categorized as high performers. Students who can create a return investment for Corporations because let's face it; business loves a positive financial return.
"A child cannot be taught by anyone who despises him. And a child cannot afford to be fooled," James Baldwin
Gleason believes that "Schools shouldn't have a right to exist." Well without schools where is PSP reaping an investment? How can charter schools save failing traditional schools, if schools did not exist? How could you prey on unsuspecting families without the presence of schools? And remember, tax dollars are the most reliable source of continuous income for any corporation. And tax dollars support public schools.
Historically, there has never been a golden age of public education. Every researcher and historian that has ever studied them can vouch for that. But just like everything else that functions in a cycle, there have been moments of good, bad, and indifferent. We now stand at the crossroads of where the sinister meets untruth. This attack on children continues to divide the country even further along the already present lines of privilege and unprivileged. We are in a battle that continues to be controlled by large sums of money and investment theories controlling the money, the decisions, and laws that surround public education.
In order to have losers, than you must also have winners. In order to have a Race to the Top then there must also be a Race to the Bottom. In order for high performing schools to be in existence, then there must also be low performing ones to always compare them too. The inherent and functional problem with this ideology is that children are absent from the equation. The moral implications for humanity cannot exist alongside such treacherous thinking. Children are not bad stocks that can be dumped when they stop performing well. Schools are not pieces on the Monopoly board that can be traded with other players until someone wins the game. At the great banquet table of American consumption, everyone deserves an opportunity to have a seat and the surplus should always be passed back in order to help others.
I have taught students who were inconsistent test takers, but demonstrated amazing critical thought and intellectual prowess. I have also taught students who were great test takers, but demonstrated not much skill or interest in traditional education beyond that. Words have power. Words like "dump the losers," "high-performing," "portfolio," and "business model" make schools feel and function like widgets on a factory line. These words ignore the need for strong communities and the need to address poverty, race, and class in real tangible ways. Ways that will challenge and transform the concept of American Privilege to its core.
The same charter run schools that boast great growth in benchmarks and overall grades have poor college rates of attendance, and the SAT and ACT scores look very similar to those of historical dropout factories. In order for this battle to continue, the truth must be told. And questions must be asked. Do any of the corporate reformers want to send their children to the new corporate controlled schools? Does Gleason desire for his children to be at the center of portfolio school reform? The answer will always be a resounding no, yet we continue to fall for the rhetoric and re-branding of school reform. And the fact that Mark Gleason had the audacity to state such negative terms in a public space for all to hear says so much more than words can ever describe about his essential disregard for everyone who is not on board with his portfolio business model of school reform. But at least he is expressing his truth. Now what is our response?
Bell hooks states it best, "I will not have my life narrowed down. I will not bow down to someone else's whim or someone else's ignorance."

There are many crimes committed today, which begin as a result of something that occurred online.
Recently, a Long Island woman was arrested for trying to sell hundreds of thousands of dollars of Legos on the popular ecommerce website, eBay. She had allegedly stolen the toys from a storage facility. Most of the pilfered items have since been recovered.
Unfortunately, selling stolen items online has become a serious issue and is a common cyber crime. Millions of people log onto websites such as eBay each day, and in some cases sellers may not be honest about what they wish to sell to you. While it may be difficult to tell if you have in fact received stolen goods, the internet has made it even easier to track down people who have stolen items and try to sell them for profit, in the previously mentioned case the stolen goods on eBay were traced back to the woman now accused of trying to sell them.
If a person believes they have received a stolen item from an online seller, the best way of reporting the crime is to contact local authorities. Police will need specific information to establish a case against the seller including names and addresses if they have been exchanged. Since eBay requires an email address for anyone to sell an item, tracing email addresses can also be helpful in tracking down any fraud or selling of a stolen good. Some victims may want to pursue a civil case against a dishonest seller.
While the internet is beneficial in so many ways, it can also be a place of fraud and criminal activity. One of the worst things about the internet, especially when it comes to buying used goods, is that you never know who is behind the other computer screen.

One of my favorite places to go for lunch in Phoenix is The Gladily on Camelback Road. Every time I've gone there, it's almost impossible to order anything other than their original chopped salad. It is different from any other chopped salad available. As many places do, I suspected that their recipe is a secret. However, when reading a magazine a while back, The Gladily was kind enough to give out their recipe. It can also be found in other places, but after several people asked for it, it is now also on Examiner.
Part of the uniqueness of this salad is the way it is plated (see the accompanying photo) and the fact that the dressing is poured and the salad is combined at your table. However, you can serve it how ever you like.
If you are not familiar with how to chiffonade basil, or just want a refresher, watch the video. It's easy!
You should be able to purchase arugula and Israeli couscous from your regular grocery store in Mesa, but if you cannot find it, Sprouts or AJ's in Mesa will have arugula and Trader Joe's also in Mesa, will have the Israeli couscous.
Since I am allergic to seafood, I never order mine with the salmon. I have it with chicken and it is wonder. Just replace the salmon with chicken.
The Original Chopped Salad from Gladily (and Citizen's Public House)
- 1/2 cup smoked salmon (optional)
- 2/3 cup freeze dried corn
- 2/3 cup chopped arugula
- 2/3 cup cooked Israeli couscous
Trail mix
- 1/4 cup black currants
- 1/4 cup toasted pepitas
- 3 tbls ground aged asiago cheese
Diced tomato layer
- 1/2 cup diced Roma tomato
- tbls balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 large basil leaf chiffonade
- pinch of salt and pepper
- 1 cup best foods mayo
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 tbls pecorino Romano
- Juice of one lemon.
- 12 basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
To make the tomato layer, mix diced tomatoes with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil, basil leaf, salt and pepper.
To make the salad, layer a row of tomatoes, a row of the trail mix, a row of arugula, a row of couscous, a row of dried corn and a row of salmon if using.
To make the dressing, thoroughly combine all the dressing ingredients in a blender.
Serve with the dressing on the side, Mix the dressing into the salad table side.

Bathroom Exhaust Fans
It is critical that your bathroom has ventilation and installing an exhaust fan is the best cure-all. Every time you use your bath or shower, it creates high levels of humidity that create a breeding ground formold and mildew. Add to that the issue of long-term exposure of moisture and humidity to your bathroom walls. Without proper ventilation, the excess moisture can crack and peel paint, warp doors, rust fixtures, and eventually cause the deterioration of joists and framing above the bathroom. This is a perfect example of the well intended adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
How it works
An exhaust fan is a ventilation device installed into the ceiling or high up on the wall and is ducted to the exterior of the house. It pulls out (or vacuums up) all the steamy humid air, thus improving the quality of the indoor air.
Why you need one
Because exhaust fans suck up excess moisture, odors, and other pollutants, it creates a healthier environment for you and your family. It also protects your walls, ceiling, floors, cabinets, and fixtures, saving you from costly repairs. Another benefit not to be overlooked is that when you step out of the shower or bathtub, your environment is dry and your mirrors aren't all steamed up. There's nothing worse than taking a shower in the summer and feeling like you can never really dry off because your bathroom has turned into a steam room.
Shopping and what to look for
Look for exhaust fans with the HVI Certified label (Home Ventilating Institute.) This is the industry's "seal of approval" and basically tells you that the unit has gone through rigorous independent performance testing and met the industry standards. There are a wide range of exhaust fans available that offer different capacities to accommodate the air exchange requirements. If you're a do-it-yourselfer – great; if not, you'll want to contact an HVAC contractor (see our provided list of quality licensed contractors) to help you choose the right product for your bathroom and to do the installation for you.
Guidelines for ventilating both large and small bathrooms
Air movement capacity is measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM) and is an essential consideration during the initial planning stage. You'll want to be sure to have adequate CFM for the square footage of your bathroom.
Large bathrooms
For bathrooms measuring over 100 square feet, the recommended ventilation rates are based on the number and type of fixtures present. Example, the bathroom is 20'x12' and there is a tub (non jetted), a shower enclosure, and an enclosed toilet: toilet = 50 CFM, shower = 50 CFM, bathtub = 50 CFM, and tub = 50 CFM, your total CFM would be 150. Jetted tubs = 100 CFM.
Small bathrooms
For bathrooms up to 100 square feet, it is recommended that an exhaust fan provide one CFM per sq. foot (approximately eight air changes per hour) to properly ventilate the room. Example, the bathroom is 8'x 5' with 8' ceilings. Multiply 8 x 5 = 40 feet. You would need a 40 CFM.
Duration of ventilation
It is recommended that the fan be left on for 20 to 30 minutes after use. For steam showers, it is recommended that a separate fan be installed in the room that can be turned on after use.
Performance, features, options
Depending on your budget and style preference there are some bells and whistles you have the option of including: light, heating element, or a timer or humidistat for automatic operation.
Some people like the built-in privacy feature of a louder fan while others prefer quiet solace. Either way, you're in luck – you get to pick the noise level of your exhaust fan. The sound levels are measured in sones. 4.0 sones is equivalent to the sond of television operation. 3.0 sones is equivalent to humming office noise. 1.0 sones can be likened to your refrigerator. 0.5 sones is on the same scale as softly rustling leaves. So, with 4.0 being the loudest and 0.5 being the quietest, you now have an idea of what sone level you might prefer.
Other considerations
- If your bathroom ceiling is taller than eight feet, you may require additional ventilation.
- If you have a separate enclosed stall area for your toilet, it should have its own exhaust fan.
- Don't forget your replacement air, a.k.a. makeup air. Keep at least a ¾" clearance from your bathroom doors to the floor to allow for fresh air to flow into the bathroom.
- To ensure building code requirements, as well as ventilation expectations, only choose an HVI certified product. Inflated performance ratings are common for bathroom exhaust fans that are not HVI certified.
All in all, the relatively small investment in an exhaust fan is worth all the benefits of living healthier, being more comfortable, and ensuring your homes protection against rot, mildew, and mold.

Pretty Lights vs. Avicii vs. Flo Rida – Sometimes (Cryptex Reglitch)
Okkkkkk then, well this is not what I was expecting at all. I mean I know that Cryptex is a dirty dirty beast when it comes to glitchy beats. However this triple mix of tunes is something even I was not prepared for. I will be the first to say that Cryptex is not for everybody, but what the noise he is making in the glitch hop world can not go understated. Give this track a chance and it may just open your eyes to a whole new world of jams. Enjoy.

Box Score
SEATTLE – Washington had its chances, but in the end dropped a critical Pac-12 match to California, 1-0. The Dawgs (7-8-4, 3-3-3 Pac-12) fell back below .500 as the Golden Bears (10-4-5, 3-4-2) scored a second-half goal and hung on for the narrow victory.
"They are a tough team who has had their struggles lately," said head coach Lesle Gallimore. "This was a meaningful game for both teams. It is just disappointing that we couldn't muster any more going forward."
The loss drops Washington back in the middle of the jumbled Pac-12 standings. The Dawgs also would not be eligible for NCAA selection with a record below .500. Luckily, the Dawgs can move back to .500 in the final game versus Washington State next week.
The Dawgs got off to a bit of a sluggish start, although the defense kept Cal off the scoreboard as well.
The first great chance for the Huskies was a near goal in the 32nd minute when a cross found the head of McKenzie Karas. She put the header on goal, but it was cleared off the line by a Cal defender. Isabel Farrell was there for the rebound and put that on goal as well, but again it was cleared. Although the ball was cleared it appeared to go over the line for a goal, but nothing was awarded. The Husky players screamed for the call to no avail.
Heading into the half, the game was tied 0-0. Cal outshot the Huskies for the half, 9-4, but Megan Kufeld did well, making five saves to keep a clean sheet. She would go on to make seven saves for the game and now has 84 saves on the year.
Cal got on the scoreboard in the 53rd minute with a goal from Celeste Boureille. Ifeoma Onumonu put a shot on target that Kufeld saved, but she was unable to secure it and the rebound went to Boureille who finished with a volley.
The goal put an air of desperation into the Huskies as they began to push players forward and play with more reckless abandon. For the half, Washington took six shots to six from Cal, while also taking the halves only three corners.
Lindsay Elston and Chelsea Archer each had shots, but the best chance came from Amanda Perez in the 88th minute. Perez ran onto a cross in front of the goal sliding to get her foot on it, but the shot went high.
It would be the last real chance for the Dawgs who dropped their second game of the week by a 1-0 score at home. The Huskies will wrap up the regular season on Friday when they host Washington State on senior day. The Cougars are coming off an upset of No. 7 Stanford and have won four in a row. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. on November 8 for a game that will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Networks.

TUCSON, Ariz. � Arizona soccer senior forward Jazmin Ponce and freshman midfielder Jaden DeGracie collected various Pac-12 honors as the regular season ended this weekend.
Ponce was named 2013 Pac-12 First-Team All-Conference, her second nod in as many seasons, as well as Pac-12 Second-Team by College Sports Madness. �DeGracie earned Pac-12 Second-Team honors by College Sports Madness.
On the season, Ponce recorded a total of 92 shot attempts, five assists, five game-winning goals and 10 goals. Ponce led the Pac-12 in shots and game-winning goals for three weeks in a row.
"I couldn't be any happier," Ponce said. "I thank all my teammates and coaches but especially my family who has always believed in me."
DeGracie was also recognized by College Sports Madness and was named to the Pac-12 Second Team. A native of Gilbert, Ariz., she finished her first collegiate season with eight assists, one goal and 19 shots. DeGracie's eight assists came from her stand-out flip throw-in that the Wildcats used in their offensive scheme. She's the only current women's Pac-12 player to incorporate a flip throw-in.
"I am very excited to win this award," DeGracie said. "I am so grateful to have amazing teammates and coaches and I am honored to represent the University of Arizona."

Gibbs Stadium (map it)
429 N Church St
Spartanburg, SC 29303
Year Opened: 1996
Capacity: 13,000
There are no tickets available at this time.
College campuses in the southeastern United States are often places of tremendous history and beauty. Many of these campuses have buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, and their beginnings can be traced back for decades or centuries. Wofford College certainly fits this description, and then some.
Located in Spartanburg, South Carolina, the college was formed in 1854. The campus contains an entire historic area on the National Register of Historic Places, and the Roger Milliken Arboretum spans the Wofford grounds. Wofford has been a place of great academic success, holding down the number 58 spot on Forbes' 2010 list of America's Best Colleges. Though the school's enrollment is just over 1,500 undergraduates, the academic success at Wofford has been rivaled by their success in intercollegiate athletics.
Wofford fielded its first football team over 120 years ago, and the Terriers are one of several current FCS teams to have played in a bowl game (the Cigar Bowl in 1950, which it lost to Florida State by a 19-6 score). The school has also won three Southern Conference championships and gone to the FCS playoffs four times since moving up from NCAA Division II prior to the 1996 season.
That 1996 season also saw the opening of the Terriers' current home, Gibbs Stadium. The facility is one of the newer and larger stadiums in its classification, and just outside its gates rests the summer training camp home of the NFL's Carolina Panthers. Whether you travel to see the Terriers, the Panthers or just the campus, the surroundings are certainly impressive.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
Gibbs Stadium may not be the preferred destination for those who seek gourmet dining, but the options are certainly plentiful and the prices are not too much of a drain on your finances. Most items are available from two points-of-sale, with one on either side of the home seating bowl. Both stands sell Chick-fil-A sandwiches ($4), Papa John's pizza slices ($3), barbecue sandwiches ($3), Johnsonville brats ($3), Nathan's hot dogs ($2.50 plain, $3.50 with chili and cheese), soft pretzels ($2) and nachos ($3 with cheese, $3.50 with chili and cheese).
Additional snack items are available at these stands, including popcorn ($2), king-sized candy ($2) and Doritos ($1 per bag). Coca-Cola is the bottler for the Wofford campus, with fountain sodas and bottled water sold for $2.50 each.
Most of the other food options are sold from carts along the main concourse. One of the main carts is from local vendor Philco's Peanuts. The cart contains a lot of "carnival" favorites, including funnel cakes ($5), an order of six deep-fried Oreos ($5), hot dogs ($2), cotton candy ($2), candy apples ($2), the South Carolina staple boiled peanuts ($5), roasted peanuts ($3), salted peanuts ($3), deep-fried peanuts ($3), bottled water or soda ($2) and canned soda ($1). The deep-fried peanuts certainly look intriguing, but I did not get a chance to try them on my visit. It is also rather unusual to see candy apples at a game, but they appeared to be a hit with the couple of girls I saw who had them.
Staying cool is also important in the Upstate of South Carolina - for the first few weeks of football season, anyway - and there is a shaved ice stand to help you achieve this goal. The stand offers just shy of 40 flavors, including Dreamsicle, margarita, root beer, strawberry daiquiri and something called "tiger's blood", among others. The small size of one of these concoctions is $2, with the large a dollar more at $3.
Wofford is a beautiful - almost bucolic - campus, and Gibbs Stadium fits right in with that motif. The home side is particularly beautiful during the fall, as the changing colors are visible in the numerous trees surrounding the stadium. The end zones are surrounded by hedges, almost reminiscent of Sanford Stadium at the University of Georgia. The school's basketball arena (Benjamin Johnson Arena) is to the right of the home stands, along with a large area for gatherings before and after the game. Numerous fans also line the hills behind each end zone, allowing for freedom to move about, which we will discuss later in the piece.
The home stands will give you a great view of the action taking place on the field from any seat. You will also have a nice view of the teams entering the field, as both teams enter through an inflatable arch between the visiting stands and the end zone. A video plays on the board as Wofford prepares to take the field, and the school's fight song is played by a local high school band (Spartanburg's Broome High School did the honors on the day I attended - again, keep in mind, this is a college with a small enrollment). One of the school's mascots, Boss, also leads the team onto the field with the cheerleaders.
The video board is gigantic (1,485 square feet) and is visible from just about anywhere in the stadium. It shows useful information like down and distance, time outs and time remaining, as well as a pre-game show. The school has a dedicated crew that puts together the features seen on what they call TerrierVision, and the work they produce is on par with much larger schools. The board shows replays - sometimes from multiple angles - of key plays to fans to let them catch up on what they may have missed during a play. The lone drawback of the video board is that it is sometimes used to play commercials during breaks in the action. I understand why this is the case, but they do provide a bit of an intrusion. The intrusion is particularly noticeable because the game information (score, time remaining, etc.) disappears while a commercial is playing.
The campus is in a bit of an odd location in terms of walkable activities, but there is certainly quite a bit of variety in food and drink within a short drive. Mellow Mushroom Pizza seems to be popping up in most of the larger cities in South Carolina, and there is a location a mile from campus on US 29 (East Main Street). The experience at Mellow Mushroom is consistent, if nothing else, and they offer a variety of appetizers, pizzas, salads and local, domestic and foreign beers.
Wade's is a half-mile or so from the campus, and they have offerings in the traditional meat-and-three style. They are a diner-like establishment that has been in business since 1947, and the locals love Wade's. A word of caution: Wade's does not take credit or debit cards. If you choose to have a southern-style meal here, bring cash.
If you would prefer something a bit more upscale, you may wish to try Peddler Steakhouse. Also located on East Main Street, Peddler bills itself as "Spartanburg's only traditional steakhouse", and they offer fare and prices consistent with most similar establishments. The bar at Peddler opens at 4pm, while the dining room opens at 5:30pm. Renato's Italian Restaurant (a mile away from campus on East Kennedy) and Cribbs Kitchen (located on West Main) are other options for finer dining.
The world-famous Beacon Drive-In is also located in Spartanburg, about a mile and a half from Wofford. This landmark, known for its sweet tea, good people and food "a-plenty" (ask them, they'll explain) has been featured on the Food Network and in several publications. Though many of the options may not be friendly to your diet, friendly people will serve you, and it is as much an experience as it is a meal.
Gibbs Stadium seats 13,000 fans, and on the day I visited, a large majority (almost 10,000) of those seats were filled. The fan base is a bit late-arriving, as many fans were still finding their seats as the anthem was being sung approximately 5-10 minutes before kickoff.
The entry gates are a bit slow on the home side, as large groups of fans exit their tailgate gatherings and head toward their seats. If you have the chance to enter on the visiting side and walk around, this may be the preferred option.
Once the fans hit their seats, they are a rowdy and involved bunch who really seem to love the Terriers. The fans are active throughout the game, not just on third downs and other key situations. Another good thing about those who fill the stands at Wofford is that the fancy video board never has to encourage the fans to make noise, like you see in many other facilities.
There is no shortage of Wofford gear in the stands, and there are a number of boisterous attendees. I spotted one such attendee wearing a hard hat with a toy dog on the top of it on the landing between the lower and upper levels of seats. He frequently yells into a small megaphone, imploring the fans to make even more noise.
The involvement of this group continues into the parking areas after the game. There are tailgate gatherings on all sides of the stadium that continue well into the afternoon, and you can find food, games and fellowship at all of these locations. I also saw a number of visiting fans tailgating with the Wofford faithful, which is not always the case at every college and university. These fans love their school, and they enjoy the company of others.
Wofford is within a couple of miles of a number of large roads that connect travelers with a number of major outposts in the Carolinas, Georgia and beyond. Interstates 26, 85, 85 Business and 585 all travel within a couple of miles of the school, with US highways 29, 176 and 221 also within minutes. Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport serves the greater Upstate region, and it is approximately 15 minutes southwest of the campus in Greer. The airport is served by several major airlines, with Southwest recently entering the market.
Once you arrive on campus, there is very little parking to be had, and the parking that is available to the public comes at a cost of $10. The college does a great job of making a parking map available to those fans visiting Gibbs Stadium, and it is strongly recommended that you follow the map. There are numerous entrances to the campus and stadium area - Twitty Street seems to be the easiest - but choose wisely.
The stadium itself features a wide concourse which wraps around the facility. This allows for plenty of room to move and keeps lines down at concession areas and bathrooms, but the seating bowl blocks your view of the on-field action if you are visiting either of those areas. The ability to move is far more limited on the sidewalk between the upper and lower levels on the home side, as fans congregate in this area throughout the game. There are also delays on this sidewalk before the game starts as fans try to organize themselves and their belongings while trying to find their seats. As nice as the wraparound concourse and well-organized area for services may be, you should be prepared for slow going in the home stands.
Tickets to Wofford games are $27, which is a bit tough to swallow for football at the FCS level. Though Wofford has a tremendous football tradition and was a top-10 team at the time of my visit during the 2012 season, several schools in the Southern Conference have lower ticket prices. Samford, for instance, has reserved seats for $20, with general admission for $18 (these seats are even cheaper online when purchased before game day). Chattanooga offers a general admission ticket that maxes out at $15. Making this even more painful is that tickets for Wofford's 2012 contest at South Carolina's Williams-Brice Stadium were only $30.
When you factor in a game ticket, parking, a program, a hot dog and a soda, you end up just a couple of dollars shy of $50 for one person. The product on the field is certainly well worth seeing, and the surroundings are gorgeous, but there can be a bit of sticker shock associated with attending a game at Gibbs Stadium. There is a bit of relief in bringing a child ($12) or a group of 20 or more ($12 per ticket), but plan accordingly if you do not meet either of these criteria.
The school features a number of added features, and one of these is TerrierLand. This kids area opens two hours before the game, and it offers several different fun activities for the little ones in your traveling party. There is a kid-sized football field, a "skills" area, a bounce house-type attraction and some free area for the kids to run, while the adults can hang out in the nearby TerrierLand Party Area. This is a nice added incentive for children and grown-ups alike.
Resting between the aforementioned video board and the field is Hardee's Hill. This serves as an area for fans to gather, talk to friends and get a great view of the game without being confined to a seat. The hill is also huge for kids, as they bring old cardboard boxes, sleds and other instruments to slide down the hill, much like the kids at the Little League World Series in Williamsport. I took a walk over to the hill before the game started on the day of my visit, and I was passed by a number of kids running full-speed to get to the hill and take a ride down on their cardboard box or just watch the game with their dad.
There is a large cart on the concourse that sells Wofford gear, and they offer a great selection of items at reasonable prices. Should you not be able to visit the cart - or if you didn't appropriately budget for souvenirs - t-shirts are launched into the stands at various intervals throughout the game. This seems to be a common thing with a number of schools in this classification, but as all of us who were once college students can attest, free things are the best things. The shirts were a hit with fans of all ages, as they are in most places.
Tailgating is also a huge part of the Wofford culture, as we have discussed, and the school fully embraces this staple of college football. The walk to the stadium leads you past several lots with the typical smell of food on the grill, the sight of bean bags in the air and some hardcore fans watching other games on television at their tailgate locations. The party continues inside the stadium, as the school honors what they call the Top Terrier Tailgates on the video board during the game. This gives fans even more of an incentive to step up their tailgating "game", so to speak.
The final - and by far most important - extra at Gibbs Stadium is a simple plaque outside of Gate 2. This plaque honors the Back of the College, paying homage to an African-American neighborhood that was once a part of this area of the Wofford campus. The Reverend A.W. Cumming's contributions to this neighborhood and the contributions to the greater community by its residence will forever be commemorated, thanks to this joint venture by Wofford and the people of Spartanburg.
A trip to Wofford College brings to life the mental picture so many have of football in the South. Tailgates, friendly people, gorgeous surroundings and great on-field action will all be a part of your day at Gibbs Stadium. The school, the stadium and the town are not the biggest you will ever visit, but they just may be among the best. There are a number of great FBS and FCS schools in the Upstate of South Carolina, and a stop by Wofford should be on the itinerary of any serious football fan.
Gibbs Stadium,home of Woffard
I really enjoyed your descriptive review of all going on at Woffard,including the campus.It sounds like a fun place to visit.The only thing that I found objectionable is the price of admission.There is no sense in admission being that high.As far as I am concerned,general admission should never exceed $15 per person.Regarding the rest of the aspects of the stadium and campus,it sounds like a good place to be with pretty decent food options,and a crowd who loves their team.
