Disease Proof
Tomato-Broccoli Power!
Like tomatoes? What about broccoli? Ever eat them together? Well if you have, you're doing your prostate a service. Because according to a new study eating broccoli and tomatoes together is more effective at protecting against prostate cancer than consuming them separately. Don't believe me? Robert Preidt of HealthDay News explains:
University of Illinois researchers fed a diet containing 10 percent broccoli powder and 10 percent tomato powder to a group of rats that had been implanted with prostate cancer cells. Other groups of rats received either tomato powder or broccoli powder alone; a supplemental dose of lycopene (the red pigment in tomatoes believed to be an anti-cancer agent); or finasteride, a drug prescribed for men with enlarged prostates. Another group of rats was castrated.Now I don't know about you, but I'll happily choose tomatoes and broccoli over wearing a cone around my head for two weeks. Ouch! Okay, so the power of tomatoes and broccoli shouldn't surprise you. After all they're both in Dr. Fuhrman's Fab Five:
After 22 weeks, the researchers found that the combined tomato/broccoli diet was the most effective at prostate tumor reduction. Of the other treatments, castration was the only one that came close to being as effective.
Greens: Make steamed greens with a cashew butter cream sauce. Kids love it. We blend raw cashews and a few dried onion flakes with some soy milk and make a great sauce for chopped kale or broccoli.And, let's not forget Dr. Fuhrman considers tomatoes and broccoli two of the best foods for health and longevity:
Tomatoes: Tomatoes are a wonderful food in their own class. Whether you consider them a fruit or vegetable, it matters not. Slice them into pita pocket sandwiches. Mash some almond butter with a fork into some tomato sauce to add to the vegetable-tomato-sprout avocado pita pocket. What a great school lunch.
Top Seven Foods for Good Health and LongevityOh man, all this talk about tomatoes and broccoli has made me hungry. How about you? Check out this Italian-inspired creation from Disease-Proof Your Child, it certainly packs a tomato-broccoli punch:
- Black raspberries
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Flax Seeds
- Green Leafy Vegetables
- Tomatoes
- Broccoli sprouts
Vegetable LasagnaAnd for more on broccoli's anti-cancer prowess, take a look at this Georgetown University Medical Center press release from last year:
1 pound firm tofu
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup sesame tahini
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 cups diced carrots
1 medium zucchini
1 medium yellow squash
1 bunch of broccoli, chopped
1 cup unsalted tomato sauce
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 cup chopped scallions
1 package whole-wheat lasagna noodles, boiled per package instructions
1 cup shredded soy cheese.
Blend the tofu, lemon juice, tahini, shredded coconut, nutritional yeast, and parsley in a good processor and put aside. Blend all the vegetables with the tomato sauce and the oregano, Italian seasoning, and scallions to make a thick veggie paste. Place a small amount of sauce in the bottom of a large casserole pan. Make layers of cooked lasagna noodles by spreading tofu mixture on top of the noodles, then another layer of noodles, and then the veggie mix. Put the last layer of noodles on top, sprinkle the shredded soy cheese on the top, cover the top of the dish, and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Serves 4.
Although the health benefits of eating your vegetables—especially cruciferous ones, such as broccoli—aren't particularly new, this study is one of the first to provide a molecular explanation as to how eating vegetables could cut a person's risk of developing cancer, an association that some population studies have found, says the study's senior author, Eliot M. Rosen, MD, PhD, professor of oncology, cell biology, and radiation medicine at Georgetown's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.

College Hockey:Western Michigan Tops Ohio State
Broncos' Stay Hot, Snap Buckeyes' Streak
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Western Michigan continued their fantastic play of late with a 4-1 win over the No. 12 Ohio State Buckeyes in front of 4.505 in Value City Arena Saturday night.
Ohio State's (16-7-3, 9-6-3-3) loss broke a 13-game unbeaten streak and the Buckeyes are now in a three-way tie for fourth in the CCHA. Western Michigan (7-13-6, 6-9-5-1) now has points in six of their last seven games and are 10th in the conference. Ohio State defeated the Broncos in a shootout Friday.
Ohio State opened the scoring 9:01 into the first when Todd Rudasill's shot bounced off Western Michigan goaltender Riley Gill and onto the stick of John Albert, who beat the goalie.
At the end of a first period full of bone-crunching hits, the teams had a faceoff to the left of Ohio State goalie Dustin Carlson with 2.6 seconds left. Jared Katz won the faceoff over Ohio State center Peter Boyd by pushing the puck towards the net. Broncos' defenseman Tyler Ludwig came around the faceoff circle and took the puck and beat the stick of Carlson in exactly one second to tie the game heading into intermission.
"That was defiantly a game changer," Boyd said. "We can't be allowing a goal in two seconds and our line will fault for that on our team for sure."
"That was a good momentum swing to go in (to the first intermission) tied after they scored the first goal," Western Michigan head coach Jim Culhane said.
Despite the spirited affair early on, there were no penalties until 11:31 of the second when Broncos' defenseman Chris Frank drew an elbowing penalty from Ohio State's Nick Biondo. Just seconds into the power play, Western Michigan forward Patrick Galivan centered lineman Max Campbell from beside the net to beat Carlson for the Broncos' first lead of the series.
Ohio State got their first power play at 5:17 of the third when Ohio State's Corey Elkins was trying to skate past Frank in the Broncos' defensive zone, drawing a roughing call. Just seconds into the ensuing man-advantage, Western Michigan's Sean Weaver led a three-on-one break through the left side of the ice. Weaver took the shot himself and beat the glove of Carlson to give the Broncos a 3-1 lead.
After Gill nearly netted a goal from 200 feet away with Carlson pulled in the final minutes, Cam Watson was able to knock the puck into the next to give Western Michigan a 4-1 lead.
Gill had 72 saves against 75 attempted Buckeyes' shots over the weekend. He had many key saves in the third to stave off an Ohio State rally, none as big as his glove stop of Sergio Somma while belly down on the ice during an Ohio State power play with six minutes remaining in the game.
"I thought their goaltender played awfully well," Ohio State coach John Markell said. "And us not being able to bounce back and get any goals, we put almost 40 shots against their 19, I thought some of those shots were really good."
"(The defensemen) cleared out the rebounds and they were there and did a great job," Gill said. "Especially in the second period where Silver, the puck was behind me, and they were whacking away at it and he kept it out."
Western Michigan is a team that typically gets most of their scoring production from the top line of Galivan, Campbell, and Greg Squires. On Saturday, the fourth line, which has combined for a total of three goals before the game, notched a pair of goals by Watson and Weaver.
"The last couple weeks, our last couple lines have been working their bags off and playing great hockey for us," said Campbell. "That is why we have been successful the last couple weekends."
"I think it was a great team effort from everyone involved with timely scoring from a lot of different people," Culhane said. "Ohio State is a wonderful hockey team, well prepared and coached. I thought it was evenly matched all weekend, the difference being we scored on our opportunities."
Ohio State played without leading goal scorer Zac Dalpe this weekend. Dalpe's play has been the difference in several games during the Buckeyes' recent streak.
"He is a competitor, he has passion for the game, and obviously he is a good hockey player," Markell said. "He brings a little bit of balance to our lines but the team is going to have to deal with that. He will be back by the end of the season, but it doesn't matter. When you go into a battle, you got to win it."
Both teams have very important games next weekend. Ohio State travels to Alaska for a key match-up that could potentially decide who gets a first round bye in the CCHA end-of-season playoffs. Western Michigan is in a similar situation, facing-off against Northern Michigan, which could decide home ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

Thomas, Carei (Frank)
Thomas, Carei (Frank),. pianist, composer; b. Pittsburgh, PA, 23 July 1938.
In Pittsburgh, Carei started taking piano lessons at the age of nine from Eleanor Lesesne. In his teen years, Carei and his family (father, Frank Nebraska, b. 1906, d. 1989; mother, Mary Majesta, b. 1916) moved to Chicago, Illinois. Thomas served in the Army from December, 1961 to December, 1963, 18 months of this stationed in Germany. In Chicago in the 1960's Carei received mentoring from Melvin Peterson, Kalaparush Ahrah Difda (a/k/ Maurice McIntyre), Donald Garrett and Steve McCall. It was also in Chicago where he attended Roosevelt University from 1959-61 and learned more about music theory at the Chicago Musical College from 1964-66. During these years, he formed friendships with many of the AACM members, worked on community social issues, completed a wall mural, and began realizing his artistic gifts.
In 1972, Thomas moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota with his wife (Carol LaPierre, divorced in 1980; three children, Joi, Jaahred, and Aairam). Carei's second marriage was to Kathleen Hoerr in 1981; divorced in 1989. Carei married Joyce Heuer Thomas in 1994. In the Twin Cities, Carei F. Thomas has been associated for a number of years with the literary, visual arts, dance, music, recovery, neighborhood, and Buddhist communities of the Twin Cities. He is known throughout the arts community for his spiritual energy, interdisciplinary vision, and creative music. He attended the University of Minnesota from 1972-75 studying Music Education/Music Therapy.
In 1993, Carei encountered a paralyzing condition called Guillain-Barre Syndrome. This condition did not stop him. He continues to compose, perform, and work in the community. Carei Thomas is a member of the American Composers Forum and is on the Boards of (1) the West Bank School of Music in Minneapolis and (2) the High School for Recording Arts (HSRA) in St. Paul.

This evening, if the world was a perfect place and passports always had enough room for just one more visa, my husband would be relaxing in the lounge of some hotel somewhere in China after a weekend of snapping photos of panda bears and golf, and preparing for the next three days of business meetings. Instead, he's sitting on sofa here in our apartment, feeling sort of frustrated over the amount of work that goes into renewing a Canadian passport from abroad.
Life over here has really been eye-opening in so many different ways, but our experiences with the Canadian overseas bureaucratic process has not been one of the highlights. I'll admit that my first encounter with the Canadian Embassy in Bangkok was sort of demoralizing, and that probably set the tone for all other things.
In November of 2008, I hauled myself and my three week-old infant down to the Embassy, with a completed application form for Sadie's Canadian citizenship certificate. This was an urgent matter for us - this little card functions in the same way that a Canadian birth certificate does, so we'd need it to apply for her passport. Sadie dozed in the Baby Bjorn for most of the wait at the Embassy and during our interview. At the end of the interview, I was given a receipt and told that we could expect to receive her card in six to eight months time. What? Six to eight months? Why on earth? I wasn't sure that I heard correctly at first. Her entitlement to citizenship should have been a no-brainer as both her parents have Canadian birth certificates. I still have no idea why it takes that long to determine that little babies born abroad are eligible for a citizenship certificate. Sadie's arrived in the mail in August 2009.
About a year ago, I was back at the Embassy with the baby, this time for passport renewals for myself and Madeline. We'd only been living in Thailand for a little over a year and a half, so there was no one local who could possibly have known us for three years and be a guarantor, so we had to fill in "in lieu of a guarantor" forms and pay another fee. What was annoying about this visit is that in addition to the two references required on my application form, the Embassy employee who was conducting my interview was insistent that I needed to provide 2-4 more. I hadn't really come prepared for that. Thankfully, the lady behind the desk was understanding and gave me her fax number so that I could just send her more references once I'd contacted a few more friends.
At the same time, I also was armed with a passport application for Sadie. She didn't have her citizenship documentation yet, but if we could produce evidence that we were leaving the country, the Embassy could issue her a "limited validity" passport. This application was fairly straightforward, but the Government of Canada's website failed to mention anywhere that when the passport applicant is a minor, BOTH parents need to show up at the Embassy. Chris, of course, was working at his office. Again, the understanding lady behind the desk indicated that it would be alright if he faxed a note with his signature. But still, arggggh!
Each time I leave the Embassy, I feel annoyed. If their on-line communication was just more specific, I could show up with the right number of personal references, the right forms of identification, the right people with me, etc. Surely my family is not the first to run into these unexpected difficulties! Anyway, wish Chris luck for his visit to the Embassy tomorrow, okay?

DENVER, Colo. - The Alabama soccer team fell to No. 20 Denver, 2-0, in the final game of the 2013 Denver Invitational on Sunday afternoon.
The Pioneers improve to a program-best 6-0 record with the win, while the Crimson Tide slips to 1-4 on the season.
The Pioneers jumped on the board in the 19th minute when Nikki Pappalardo scored the game's first goal to give her team a 1-0 lead. Kristen Hamilton then put the game out of reach with a goal at the 70:58 mark to result in the final score.
Sophomore goalkeeper Emily Rusk, making her second consecutive start in the net for Alabama, made seven saves in the contest. She made 19 saves vs. Colorado on Friday night, which were the second-most in a game in UA program history, and finished tournament play with a total of 26 saves.
The Denver contest marked Alabama's second match against a team ranked among the nation's top 25 and the third time the Crimson Tide has faced an undefeated team this season.
The Crimson Tide will return to action next week when it travels to take on the Memphis Tigers on Friday at 7 p.m. CT. Alabama will then return home to square off with in-state rival UAB on Sunday at 7 p.m. at the Alabama Soccer Complex.

It's really important for all of us to keep our household cleaners and yard chemicals away from our pets and of course our children. Even products we think of as "safe" like germ killers and disinfectants or even essential oils can be harmful to our furry friends.
If you have a curious pet, use child safety locks on your cabinets or store chemicals on the top shelf of cabinets. We are so careful in our home I don't even have drain cleaners in the house, I use baking soda and vinegar which I lock up.
Animals are curious and they are attracted by the smells and odors of cleaning products. The odors are in the cleaning chemicals so humans feel or sense that cleaning has occurred – to our pets it all smells like something yummy to lick or eat.
So, what do you do if you think your pet is poisoned?
If you think your pet has ingesting something by licking, eating or sniffing call your vet immediately.
• Know the name and if possible the purpose of the suspected poison
• The active ingredients and if possible how much your pet might have ingested
• How long ago did your pet ingested the chemical
• What's the age and weight of your pet
• What are the symptoms?
• Are they drinking water or eating?
• What is the color of their gums?
Many of us are now using natural cleaning products. Research has not shown that green environmentally safe products are safe for our pets to ingest.
Essential oils, which are in many green-cleaning products, can cause issues with the olfactory systems of our pets. Use common sense and keep your pets away from things you would not ingest. Probably the safest rule of thumb is if I would not lick or sniff it probably my pet or small child shouldn't either.
Keep the telephone numbers to your vet, emergency vet hospital and poison control center handy. When you travel, leave this information and a power of attorney with your pet sitter so they can obtain vet care in your absence. I also leave personal pet history information with my pet sitter, their weight, breed, and age and allergy information as well.
Removing toxins from the home is a key ingredient of maintaining a healthy home. Keeping those living there safe is the first priority, this is an easy way to do that.

"Thanks for the helpful hints about how much penne to use. I can see that this recipe makes about 9 cups of sauce, for 10 servings. A pound of penne serves 8, according to the box. So, whatever, maybe we will have some great leftover sauce. :-)"

As the launch of Minecraft on Playstation 4 and Xbox One approaches, more details on the title's jump from last-gen platforms to current console hardware is beginning to surface as 4J Studios' block-filled creation game becomes increasingly ready for release later this summer. Speaking to the official Playstation blog on June 12, Mojang's Owen Hill shared information on several aspects of Minecraft's PS4 edition including multiplayer details, touchpad support, and a brand new trailer for the upcoming next-gen version of the game.
Hill confirmed that Minecraft will feature multiplayer support for up to eight players via an online connection. However, fans can also enjoy local co-op with up to four players on PS4 with splitscreen support. Additionally, the game will allow any combination of both local and online co-op partners in order to reach the multiplayer cap of eight gamers. This means that if four gamers are playing on one PS4 they can still connect to up to four other players online.
4J Studios and Mojang also plan to fully utilize the features of Sony's DualShock4 controller for Minecraft: PS4 Edition. Hill confirmed that the game will make full use of the controller's touchpad for everything from menu navigation to actually placing and manipulating blocks within the game. Of course, the use of the touchpad is completely optional. Players can choose to simply use the analog sticks or a combination of both.
The Playstation 4 edition of Minecraft will launch in August alongside the Xbox One and PS Vita versions of the game. All of the new releases will feature benefits to those who already own Minecraft on home consoles. Fans will be able to digitally upgrade their last-gen copy to the new platforms for only $5. Furthermore, the PS Vita edition of Minecraft will launch with cross-buy support with Minecraft: PS3 Edition. The best part is that this will take effect retroactively. This means anyone who already owns Minecraft on PS3 will be able download it on PS Vita for free.

There is no better place than Thailand to plan your yearly gathering in the (re-)insurance business. On the reinsurance conference, SIRC, people tried to avoid the subject to keep up the good mood. Few people realize that it looks like the damage/losses of floods in Thailand now going to exceed the losses due to the Earthquake/Tsunami/ Nuclear Power Station problems in Japan.
Patrick was invited to give a half day presentation on Enterprise Risk Management and Rating. How up to date can you be? The last weeks the preparation had taken a significant part of his time and the result was according. We could discuss some ongoing subjects but Patrick had to leave early to be in time the next morning.
Without the MD in town I had to concentrate on some other elements in our regional business development. With Matthew I went to the Chinese University of Hong Kong. We had a good discussion about our business concept and the way we could cooperate. It looks like a next positive step in the growing of our company. I had also a meeting with some people from AbnAmro in their brand new accommodation in the ICC on The Kowloon side. We talked about their developments in the region and the way we could contribute. Next I would meet with Nan I went back to the hotel to redress. He had announced that we would go to a party and I was happy to find out that I had to go back to the Kowloon side again. This time I took the ferry and arrived in hotel Marco Polo for what appeared to be a copy of a German October Beer Fest. The Chinese loved it with all the food, dancing and singing. I was amused but took the opportunity to join Nan as he left early.
Walking from the ferry to my hotel I came across Mathew and some others from the finance industry. It became a late evening, not exactly according to plan.

Maserati Quattroporte Cat Back Exhaust
Featured Cat-Back Exhausts Products
Cat Back Exhaust
Featured Cat Back Exhausts Products
When considering serious Maserati Quattroporte cat back exhausts upgrades for their vehicles, many drivers focus on installing the most effective Maserati Quattroporte cat back exhaust system. A catback exhaust is the portion of an exhaust setup that contains all the components from the rear of the catalytic converter on down. Finely tuned Maserati Quattroporte cat back exhausts serve as excellent Quattroporte racing exhausts, and with all of the proper parts like universal mufflers and sleek tail pipes included, the setup can provide the sound and emissions flow a serious driver would want.
Maserati Quattroporte Catalytic converters are the starting points for Maserati Quattroporte cat back exhaust upgrades, and for good reason. These Maserati Quattroporte converters help to make emissions cleaner and less polluting, and can correct problems caused by unruly Maserati Quattroporte car exhausts. While mufflers focus on sound control and Maserati Quattroporte exhaust pipes and tips are often upgraded for their looks more than anything, entire Maserati Quattroporte cat back exhaust system upgrades can really affect the whole vehicle in a positive way, making for a cleaner, better looking exhaust array.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gold Comfortable and Beautiful I was able to wear this blouse in my usual TravelSmith size which is small. The blouse was not tight, was just the right fit. My frame measures 34D/36", 29" waist, 35 1/2" hips, 127lbs. and 5'4". With these measurements it's usually hard to find a blouse that has a fit that is flattering and that feels comfortable. The Dot-Wave does both. The material does have a fluid drape. December 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by ECrane Gorgeous Blouse I was very impressed when I received this blouse. The material is very lush and drapes beautifully. I am very small-boned, 5'2", 103 lb, and usually cold in addition, so I always intended to wear it like a "big shirt" with a turtleneck or other long sleeved pullover under it. It looks superb and goes well with work pants, adding a touch of dressy to the outfit. I think it will work well for me in the tropics without any under layer and the sleeves rolled up a bit. I couldn't be happier with a blouse. December 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by mcgr Comfortable Fit This blouse has a nice cut, and fits well across the bust and down the arms. The color works beautifully, too, with jeans or with a black blazer. February 16, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by B3ck Beautiful Shirt Sizing is small Very pretty shirt. Need to purchase it one size larger than listed to fit comfortably. August 29, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Arden Disappointed This blouse, while beautiful is cut unbelieveably small. Shame because it is one I really liked and wanted. November 8, 2012

A key test of the much-criticized U.S. national missile defense system is planned for later this month, officials said June 11.
The Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system, which is designed to protect the United States against long-range ballistic missiles fired from North Korea or Iran, will try to intercept a target missile on June 22, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said during a missile defense hearing of the Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee. (Update: The test is scheduled to occur between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Pacific time.)
During the test, an interceptor missile will be launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., said Navy Vice Adm. James Syring, the director of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency. The target will take off from the Army's Reagan Test Site on Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific, Murkowski said.
A successful test is widely considered long overdue. GMD has failed to intercept its target in its last three attempts, fueling claims in some quarters that the complex system is unreliable.
The United States currently has 30 GMD interceptors deployed in Alaska and California to defend against long-range missiles. Plans call for increasing that figure to 44 interceptors by the end of fiscal year 2017.

Soccer has been around in the USA for many years and many classic international matches have been held throughout the years. One in particular is coming up this July: the Real Madrid and AS Roma showdown in Dallas as part of the Guinness International Champions Cup. These soccer matches have been extremely significant to the popularity of the sport in the USA. For more soccer action, read on to learn about the top five international matches on US soil that prove soccer is as popular here as it is anywhere else in the world.
AS Roma vs. Real Madrid for the 2014 Guinness International Champions Cup
This match has not occurred yet, but it will be an instant classic. The match between AS Roma and Real Madrid to be held in Dallas on July 29 is one of the most anticipated international club games for the Guinness International Champions Cup tournament. Real Madrid is currently the UEFA Champions League title holder and will be going up against the best Italian team that has been invited to the Guinness tournament.
Brazil vs. Italy for the 1994 World Cup
Another classic international match was Brazil versus Italy for the 1994 World Cup held in Pasadena, California. The two elite powers met in the finals and ended up with a scoreless tie. It was an historical match because the game ultimately had to be settled with penalties – the first ever World Cup to end with penalties. The attendance for this final was astronomical as well. The Rose Bowl stadium held 94,194 spectators for this classic match between powerhouses Brazil and Italy.
Real Madrid vs. Chelsea for the 2013 Guinness International Champions Cup
Another great international match was Real Madrid versus Chelsea for the 2013 Guinness International Champions Cup final held in Miami, Florida. This was the first international club tournament held in the US involving major elite clubs from Europe, and two of the best ended up in the finals. English team Chelsea was a top dog and faced the top club from Spain at the time. Guinness hosted the first edition of this tournament and it turned out to be a huge success when Real Madrid defeated the English giants 3-1 in the final.
US Women's National Team vs. China in the 1999 Women's World Cup
One of the most popular matches in recent history was the US women's national team playing against China in the finals for the 1999 Women's World Cup. This was a superb match because it greatly increased the popularity of the sport for women. The final was also held in Pasadena, California, and it ended in a scoreless tie just like the final game for the 1994 World Cup. China and the US went to penalties to define the World Champion. In the final moment, Brandi Chastain scored the final penalty and celebrated by taking her jersey off, exposing herself in a sports bra. This was huge in the sports world and ultimately caused major changes. After that, a new rule passed in which soccer players received a yellow card for taking off their jersey—this included men's and women's soccer.
LA Galaxy vs. Real Madrid at the Home Depot Center in 2005
Another top international soccer match hosted in the US was the LA Galaxy hosting Real Madrid at the Home Depot Center in 2005. This was one of the first matches that the MLS held with one of their own club, the LA Galaxy, versus an elite club team from Europe. At the time, the US spectators were treated with seeing one of their home teams play against the likes of Real Madrid, which was a team full of superstars at the time. The match was an introduction to what was to come – the International Champions Cup.
After so many years of soccer, the US has finally come up with a solution to bring the top teams from around Europe to have a small summer tournament on American soil. The International Champions Cup is a superb idea for making soccer a major event in the US. Not only do US soccer spectators get to see their local team compete in the MLS during the summer, but they also get to enjoy the top clubs battle it out in a tournament that lasts two weeks.

Hulu Plus now available on Android Market
Great news for Android users, Hulu Plus is finally here on the Android Market. Unfortunately, some people may not be able to install the app since it is only available for six phones as of now.
The app can be downloaded on the following devices: Nexus One, Nexus S, HTC Inspire 4G, Motorola Droid II, Motorola Droid X, and the Motorola Atrix, although Hulu stated on its official blog that more devices would be added to the compatible list later this year. The app is free to download, but users will require a Hulu plus subscription($7.99 a month), although new customers can try it out free for a week before choosing to pay for the subscription.
I highly recommend downloading this app if you have a subscription and have one of the devices that is compatible. I don't know about you, but I enjoy watching an episode of Family guy when I'm bored on the go. Hopefully it won't take too long for Hulu to add more devices.

they are terrible. end of discussion.
Worked for me...
I bought 3 10 round 12 gauge Pro Mags after reading your review, I went to the range and tried out all 3 and had function problems with all of them Mostly failure to eject. I used bird shot, slugs and 00 buck and had the same problems with all loads. I loaded up the factory mag and the gun functioned perfect with all three loads. I contacted Pro Mag and they said send them back without an ounce of protest.... made me think I wasn't the first to complain. They gave no explanation or suggestion on how to tweak them to make them work. It took 3 weeks to get UPS to pick them up and I imagine it'll take awhile to get the replacements.

Much Ado About Nothing
by William Shakespeare
Much Ado About Nothing Lies and Deceit Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Scene.Line) Line numbers correspond to the Riverside edition.
Quote #4
That a woman conceived me, I thank her;
that she brought me up, I likewise give her most
humble thanks. But that I will have a recheat
winded in my forehead or hang my bugle in an
invisible baldrick, all women shall pardon me.
Because I will not do them the wrong to mistrust
any, I will do myself the right to trust none. And the
fine is, for the which I may go the finer, I will live a
bachelor. (1.1.234-242)
Benedick says his main obstacle to love is that he'll never do a lady the disfavor of mistrusting her. At the same time, he's certain he can't bring himself to trust a lady, so it looks like he'll be ladyless. It's not that he thinks love itself is awful (maybe), but that he finds deception to be inherent to women (and love).
Quote #5
'Tis once, thou lovest,
And I will fit thee with the remedy.
I know we shall have reveling tonight.
I will assume thy part in some disguise
And tell fair Hero I am Claudio,
And in her bosom I'll unclasp my heart
And take her hearing prisoner with the force
And strong encounter of my amorous tale. (1.1.313-320)
Don Pedro will manipulate Hero into falling in love with Claudio. It's a little shady that Don Pedro will get Hero to fall in love with his words, thinking they're Claudio's words. Claudio and Don Pedro don't care if they manipulate the girl under false pretenses, as they've got their eyes on the prize of winning her (even if she is deceived into being won by a guy she doesn't know and has never spoken to).
Quote #6
I wonder that thou, being, as thou say'st thou
art, born under Saturn, goest about to apply a moral
medicine to a mortifying mischief. I cannot hide
what I am. I must be sad when I have cause, and
smile at no man's jests; eat when I have stomach,
and wait for no man's leisure; sleep when I am
drowsy, and tend on no man's business; laugh when
I am merry, and claw no man in his humor. (1.3.10-17)
This is a particular bit of irony—Don John says he's not really capable of deception. He can't hide what he's feeling, or what a villain he is. You'd think this was crazy, because Don John does so much deceiving in the play.
Come to think of it, he never actually made a great show of being a good or warm guy to begin with. He skulks around the castle, and while he tells direct lies to others in the service of evil, no one could ever say that he tried to pretend to be someone he's not. In that case, who's more at fault, Don John for being a trickster, or Don Pedro and Claudio for trusting him? Deception is a complex thing.

It's easy to create a simple warm winter soup from scratch. Using left-over chicken or beef is a great way to start but even if you have to start with raw meat, making a good soup should be quick to whip up. Use your crock-pot for extra ease; I do recommend if you're using raw meat that you brown it first, this will add more flavor and depth to your soup.
The local farmers market is teeming with great root vegetables that are perfect for soup. Although it can be a meal in itself, I like to add a sandwich or panini along side. Catch my hands-on Soup and Sandwich class on Sat. Jan 23rd at Kitchen Outfitters in Naples for personal instruction and ideas. You can sign up for the class at http://kitchenoutfitters.net/Cooking_Classes.html or call 562.434.2728.
A good soup starts with a good stock or broth. No need to make your own from scratch, here's a way to enhance a pre-made broth. Always use a broth that has good ingredients, read the label. You want to see beef, chicken or vegetables as one of the first ingredients; there are several brands in the market that do not have hydrogenated oils, msg, food coloring, sugar or extra salt. Add the celery, carrots, onion and spices to the broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes, 30 if you have the time; drain and discard the vegetables. Now you have a good soup base, let's make soup!
If you have left over vegetables from dinner you can use those but we'll add them last as they really just need to be warmed. Here's a recipe for beef barley soup using leftover roast beef.
Beef Barley Soup
3/4 pound of left over roast or
1 pound of stew beef, cut into 1/2" chunks,
2 quarts enhanced broth (beef, vegetable or even chicken will do)
1/4 cup red wine
1 small can whole or diced tomatoes with juice
2 carrots, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 cup green beans, sliced into bite sized pieces
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 cup uncooked barley
1 tablespoon Italian parsley, minced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste
1 parsnip, diced and cooked, optional
If using raw stew meat, heat a large sauté pan, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of canola or vegetable oil. Add meat to the pan and cook on all sides until browned. Add to a Dutch oven along with remaining ingredients except any cooked vegetables you may be using. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the barley is done. Add any cooked vegetables during the last 10 minutes just to warm. Serve with a four cheese grilled panini, optional.
Enhanced Broth
1-2 quarts chicken, beef or vegetable broth
2 carrots, roughly chopped
1 stalk celery, roughly chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
4 sprigs Italian parsley
1 clove garlic, crushed
Place all into a stockpot and simmer for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Drain and discard vegetables. Use immediately or cool and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

When Ralph Sarchie has something to say it's often not pretty, especially when concerning the darker side of the paranormal. It all has to do with the devil.
"I'm a messenger, that's it. I'm not an angel. I'm a human person and I just have this message and you can believe it if you want. You don't have to. I don't really care."
Sarchie, now a retired New York Police Department sergeant, was an 18 year (the years depending upon which news account you read) veteran cop with over 300 arrests and 7 service awards. His tenure included a long stint in the notorious "Alamo," the 46th Precinct of the South Bronx.
Police work became his passion throughout the daylight hours, yet at night what he terms "the work" branched out into a totally different arena. But…was it all that different? Evil is evil, no matter how you slice it. You only have to remove the human element.
Sarchie had an interest in the paranormal since childhood. It would lead him to eventually expand upon it and broaden his horizons. He ended up training with demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren and Bishop Robert McKenna in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He steadily built a foundation that was a reflection of his own strong Roman Catholic beliefs. And Sarchie came into his own—presently having assisted in over 25 exorcisms and tallying up some hundreds of home exorcisms.
As Sarchie discovered, evil does not just reside in the intentions of the criminal element, but is also cloaked in the darkness that people don't easily accept. But it is there, none the less.
Ralph Sarchie co-authored a book with Lisa Collier Cool in 2001 titled Beware the Night, documenting some of his experiences in dealing with demonic entities. A Hollywood director took notice….
As of late there's been quite the thread of films exploring demonic possibilities. And a good scare to boot! Much like the uninterrupted parade of paranormal television with no end in sight, films depicting the same subject matter are popular—and profitable at the box office! Writer/director Scott Derrickson (Sinister and 2005's The Exorcism of Emily Rose) took Sarchie's 2001 book and developed it into the foundation for his new film Deliver Us from Evil, opening Wednesday, July 2, 2014. The film was largely shot on location in the Bronx—the region of Sarchie's endeavors while doing "the work." He was a consultant on the film as to be expected.
"Scott took a lot of elements of my cases and put them in a different context," Sarchie stated. He is not, however, upset over the juggling of his personal experiences. He is only happy that it may open some minds and stimulate thought upon a hidden reality. He wants the message to get out.
Australian actor Eric Bana portrays Sarchie in Deliver Us from Evil and is reported to have been greatly affected by viewing genuine exorcism film footage involving Sarchie, prior to the start of filming.
Ralph Sarchie insists he is not in this position to entertain. Following a policeman's line of thought and motivation there is one, and only one purpose—to help! No glory…no fame…only work to be done. And Sarchie is doing it.
Exorcisms are a tricky venture, and first rounds often transition into a second. Sarchie makes no bones:
"This demon will come back with seven more powerful to find the house all tidied up, swept and tidy. That's what exorcism does. It sweeps everything up; it gets all the uncleanliness out. You're now supposed to fill it with the holy and the light. If you don't do that, something more powerful is gonna come back, it's gonna fill that void."
A police officer's perspective in the world of the paranormal is not new—at least on the entertainment front. An officer is trained in observation, a student of human character, organization, and an investigative process aimed towards getting results. During my brief stint as a Marion County Sheriffs Deputy recruit I became a member of the 'club' and still retain that line of thought and method in not only my day-job life, but also when conducting paranormal investigations.
Back in the day when I enjoyed paranormal television there was a show that premiered on the A&E Network in January of 2010 called Paranormal Cops. Co-founders Thomas Froelich and cigar-chomping Ron Fabiani headlined a team of Chicago police officers who would gather together in the evening following their day shift and sort through the paranormal oddities in the Windy City. What struck a nerve was it was different from the other fare being offered at the time. Here were trained public servants using their investigative know-how to treat the paranormal as basically a crime scene. It was an innovative premise. There were short comings as could be expected. I discounted the psychic-medium because they always get my radar up. There's something about their personal observations that could be either a product of their own imagination or purposeful invention. How is a poor viewer to know? But the boys…those officers gained my respect for their approach to the paranormal.
The show lasted for one six episode season and was cancelled!
I like Ralph Sarchie. I like his no nonsense attitude. He doesn't really care if you believe him or not. His mission and journey will not be deterred by your opinion. You weren't there. Consequently, you have no idea of what you speak….
He's not a ghost hunter. He's not a paranormal investigator. He doesn't carry an array of gadgets with blinking lights and audible alert tones He's dealing on a completely different level and one that is ancient in origin. His tools of the trade are a cross, holy water, and a keen realization of what he is dealing with. That's enough for him.
"It does not matter if you believe or not. You don't have to believe in God. You don't have to believe in the devil. It doesn't withdraw you from this battle. You're involved in it. You were born into this world. No, you probably didn't ask to be born, but you're here. You need to make a choice. You need to pick a side."

On Thursday, two political analysts revised their ratings of next year's contest for Michigan's Seventh Congressional District. Both of them thought that Republican incumbent Tim Walberg retaining his seat against Democratic challenger Pam Byrnes was less likely after the just-finished government shutdown.
In the morning, Stuart Rothenberg announced in Roll Call that he had moved Walberg's seat from "Safe Republican" to "Republican Favored."
That afternoon, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) passed along Cook Political Report's assessment of the race, which moved the seat from "Likely R" to "Lean R."
Both changes in ratings came after two polls showing Walberg in trouble. Two weeks ago, a poll came out showing Walberg losing to generic Democrat by nine percent. Later that week, the DCCC released a poll showing Walberg and Byrnes in a statistical dead heat, with Walberg ahead by one percentage point 43% to 42% with 14% undecided.
Rothenberg cited the strength of the likely Democratic nominee in his renewed estimation of the contest. He called Byrnes "a credible nominee in a competitive district" and wrote "Democrats believe Byrnes will keep this seat in play."
After noting that "Walberg never seems to get too far above 50 percent" and "next year shouldn't be an exception," he concluded "the race could get even more competitive."
While Rothenberg concentrated on the candidates, the Cook Political Report looked at the big picture. In the organization's report, as quoted by the DCCC, it highlighted the effect of the shutdown.
"Mostly as a result of the damage House Republicans sustained during the 16-day government shutdown, we are making changes to our ratings in 15 House seats, all but one in Democrats' direction. Democrats still have a very uphill climb to a majority, and it's doubtful they can sustain this month's momentum for another year. But Republicans' actions have energized Democratic fundraising and recruiting efforts and handed Democrats a potentially effective message."
The poll released by the DCCC supported this analysis. It showed that voters disapproved of shutting down the government 59% to 33% and that 50% of voters were less likely to vote for Walberg once they learned that he supported the government shutdown.
Only 27% of voters planned to reelect Walberg in November 2014, while an overwhelming majority (73%) were open to considering someone else.

The Cleveland Browns fired Rob Chudzinski after just one season on the job, and it shocked a lot of people. Now, there have been reports of different coaches that could come in to interview for the coaching vacancy, but according to Cleveland.com on Jan. 3, 2014, it won't be former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel.
A few days ago, Fox Sports 1350 said that Tressel was in the interest of the Browns for their head coaching vacancy. It appears now as if those were just rumors.
Chudzinski was fired back on Dec. 29, 2013, after just one season. Yes, it was a disappointing season that ended with the Browns having a 4-12 record and finishing last in their division, but there was a lot of promise and talent there.
Unfortunately, Chud won't get to coach that talent.
The 61-year-old Tressel is currently the Executive Vice President at the University of Akron.
Tressel resigned as head coach of Ohio State back in May of 2011, after a series of huge allegations. Some of those included his alleged knowledge of players on his team, selling university items and memorabilia.

It's amazing how important your street view becomes everyday. It's your path away from your home ...away from your family, your snuggly couch, your big-eyed puppy. Yet it's also your path back to the safety of your "space"...back to your flowers and veggies...back to an 8 yr old and 13 yr old sporadically getting along....back to kitchen smells and puppy dog tails and mountains of dirty laundry.
What is your daily path?

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
Robert Grosz of Brookings hopes to make his crab festival rival the success of the Slam'n Salmon Derby and the Southern Oregon Kite Festival.
He pitched his idea to the city's Tourism Promotion and Advisory Committee (TPAC) Thursday.
He sought $4,000 in Transient Lodging Tax monies to start what he hopes will be an annual event to bring tourism dollars into town during the winter months.
The committee approved the idea and will recommend the Bookings City Council do the same.
The first Southern Oregon Crab Festival is slated for Jan. 25.
"This is done all up and down the coast," Grosz said. "But not within 200 miles of here. We could start with the basics and see it grow, and maybe we'll have a couple thousand people show up in two years."
Grosz moved here in 2012 from San Diego, where he coordinated similar, larger events. He plans to hold this one-day festival Jan. 26 at the Port of Brookings-Harbor. And for the inaugural festival, he hopes to attract 250 people.
"The first year whatever you do, you have to do well," he said.
He proposes a day of crab-themed events: crab races, high-quality vendors selling crab- or nautical-oriented theme items, tours of crab boats and depictions of life in the industry, and a place where people can purchase the crustaceans and even ship them home.
"I want people to spend the afternoon having a crab experience," he said. "The day would be wide open, free, a come-on-down-and-have-fun kind of thing."
"I'm envisioning it ... the consumer is going to have different choices," said TPAC member Bob Pieper, who knows Grosz through business associations. "You can just go down there and have a crab dinner; or you can go crab off the dock, and there's a place that'll cook it for you; or if you live out of town, you can buy a ton of crab and ship it home."
The night would feature a crab dinner for a maximum of 250 people, a beer garden and music.
"This is going to get big," Pieper said. "This is a home run. This is over the fence; this is a grand slam."
Grosz has already secured a tent under which up to 800 people can be comfortably seated; Grosz noted that he is a large man, and having elbow room at the dining table should be a priority — especially when eating shellfish.
If he sells 250 dinner tickets, about half of the tent area could be used for vendors. He's obtained permission from the port, and is working to secure other needed permits, including those for the sale of crab and beer.
The tent is a priority because of the unpredictable weather in late January; if winds exceed 30 miles an hour, the event will be postponed by two weeks or moved to a yet-to-be-determined alternate location.
"The crab people say it's a good time for it," Grosz said, adding that his research has shown it's only rained on that day once in the past five years. "What if we could say, 'It's 35 degrees in Medford; come on out to the coast where it's 60!'? It seems there's always a period in January where it's 60 or 65. That's when we call Medford and say, 'The crabs are on.'"
TPAC member Barb Ciaramella reminded the group that Cape Ferrelo holds its fish fry in winter and always gets a crowd.
"We decided to take this risk to get winter events," TPAC member Tim Patterson reminded the group. "This is (the kind of event) we asked for."
Grosz said the event would break even if he could attract 100 to 110 people at $10 a plate. The tent rental alone costs $1,500, and another $2,500 is what he projects he'd need for advertising. Of that, he'd spend 25 percent locally, with posters for windows, directional signs and advertising. The remainder would be spent to advertise the event in the valley, on social media and the Internet.
"Facebook would get the crowd of 30- to 40-year-olds, the newspapers would get the 40-, 50-, 60-year-olds," he said. "And then just take that outside the area."
He is also entertaining the idea of sponsorships for T-shirts, bundling the dinner with hotel deals and providing a memento for participants to take home.
"I was thinking crab hammers," he said. "I can just see people banging their hammers all over, making all this noise. I think it would be a lot of fun."
TPAC members agreed that, while some events take years to become profitable, this one could be real popular, real quick.
"Personally, I'm not hoping to walk away with anything," Grosz said. "If I can show we can do a successful off-season event, it could encourage others to do it and we wouldn't be so dead in the winter."
Grosz anticipates a two-day event next year.
"This year, he's playing it 100 percent safe," Pieper said. "But this will get as big as the kite festival and Slam'n Salmon. This is awesome."
More information will become available in upcoming weeks at www.southernoregoncrabfest.com.

Given a descending sequence of sets
$$ F_1\supset F_2\supset\cdots F_n\supset\cdots $$ in which each $F_i$ is connected. I wonder if the limit set
$$ F=\bigcap_{i=1}^\infty F_i $$ is still connected? I believe it is, but cannot make a proof. Anyone can help?
Samuel has showed a counter example.
Thus now I wonder can I add some constraints such that the conclusion holds?
I ask this problem because when I look up the The Princeton Companion to Mathematics,chapter IV.14. Dynamics, section 2.8 The Mandelbrot Set M, there is the following words:
It follows from the above that as $t$ approaches zero, the equipotential of potential $t$, together with its interior, gets closer and closer to M: that is, M is the intersection of all such sets. Hence, M is a connected, closed, bounded subset of the plane.
I wonder why such argument shows $M$, the Mandelbrot set, is connected.

DENVER--The Arizona at Brigham Young football game to open the 2007 season Sept. 1 in Provo, Utah, will be shown nationally on the VERSUS cable network, with kickoff set in Lavell Edwards Stadium for 3:30 p.m. MDT (2:30 p.m. in Tucson where daylight-saving time is not in effect).

According to Versus' web site, Tucson-area viewers can pick up the Mountain West Conference telecast on Comcast 29, Cox 70, DirecTV 608 or DISH 151.

The Mountain West partnered with CSTV and VERSUS this week to present a full package of 2007 football games by its members on national cable. The non-conference UA-BYU tilt is covered as one of that conference's games based on the host institution.

"This is a good development for Arizona fans and a good sign of the times for college football television in general," UA athletics director Jim Livengood said. "There are increasing opportunities for teams everywhere to have games picked for TV, to enhance their fan bases."

UA's other game against a MWC opponent this year -- the New Mexico at Arizona contest on Sept. 15, is in the mix for early selection by Pacific-10 Conference television partners ABC, FSN and TBS later this spring or summer, or could be selected later for telecast by Arizona televison partner FSN Arizona.

Arizona holds a slim edge in the Brigham Young series, which began in 1936, with an 11-8-1 mark including last year's 16-13 victory over the Cougars in the 2006 season opener at Arizona Stadium.

Brigham Young is coming off a superlative 11-2 season and MWC Championship, along with a final No. 15 ranking and the nation's fifth-best offensive attack. The matchup will feature that recent legacy against Arizona's defensive bent and its newly crafted spread offense, which head coach Mike Stoops describes as much like BYU's -- a balance of passing and power.

After opening 0-2 a year ago, BYU has a 10-game winning streak including its 38-8 thumping of Oregon in the Las Vegas Bowl in December. Fortunately for the Wildcats, BYU will be without career rushing leader Curtis Brown and yet another storied Cougar quarterback in John Beck, who both are gone along with five other key seniors.

Arizona takes a bit of its own momentum to Provo, with a 3-1 record in its last four games of the year and a three-game road winning streak. UA returns 19 starters from its bowl eligible 6-6 squad including 10 on defense.
