Alicia Plummer's new (Dec 2013) shawl pattern is 'Coalesce.' Coalesce means "to come together so as to form one whole; unite..." What a perfect title for a pattern design, as every knitter hopes that the next pleasing blend of interesting stitches and yarn colorways, will coalesce as envisioned in his or her creative knitting mind. This easy shawl pattern popped out with its lovely slip stitch, US 11 (8 mm) needle and two-color scheme of Swan's Island Pure Blends Bulky.
The shawl, which is the 'new scarf,' or cowl, if it's really cold, can be knit in the size you want. The finished size posted is 28'' x 70" or 71 cm x 177 cm, but easily adjusted to larger or smaller size. It uses about 3 skeins of bulky yarn, 390 yards, or 357 meters. This easy shawl pattern is very inexpensive, you can purchase it here for $3.00. More of Alicia Plummer's patterns.

On Tuesday, the New England Revolution re-signed midfielder Lee Nguyen, who is entering his third year with the team. Nguyen, 27, played in 63 matches for the Revs over the last two seasons, scoring nine goals and adding nine assists.
In other news, former Revs striker Marko Perovic is in preseason camp as an unsigned trialist and attempting to secure a contract on a second go-round with the club. In 2010 and 2011, Perovic scored seven goals and added four assists in 29 appearances.
The Revolution formerly kicked off preseason training and is away on the first of two preseason training trips. On Monday, the team departed for IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., where it will spend 12 days, from Jan. 27 through Feb. 7. The Revolution will play their first preseason action on Friday, Jan. 31, when the team faces Swedish club Malmo FF at IMG Academy.
Lee Nguyen
After joining the Revolution in March 2012 via the Waiver Draft from Vancouver Whitecaps, Nguyen went on to earn the Revolution's 2012 team MVP award by the club's fans following a five-goal, two assist season and his goal against Vancouver was also one of four finalists for MLS Goal of the Year. In 2013, Nguyen made 33 starts and scored four goals while adding seven assists.
The former U.S. youth and senior international played in Europe and South East Asia before coming to MLS. He began his career in Holland with PSV Eindhoven before moving to Randers FC. Following two more seasons in Demark, he moved to Vietnam, where he played for Hoang Anh Gia and Becamex Binh Duong FC before returning to MLS.
Pierre Omanga, NSCAA Division II Player of the Year
In the final rounds of the MLS SuperDraft, the Revolution selected Southern New Hampshire's Pierre Omanga, (third round, 50th overall), the 2013 NSCAA Division II Player of the Year. Omanga scored 21 goals and added three assists for SNHU in 2013 and scored the game-winning goal in the national championship game. Omanga enters camp unsigned and will try to earn a contract.

It seems that in the essence of our strength forms the shadow of our uncertainty.
Take for instance the businessperson who earns great wealth and then comes to learn the pressure of sustaining its growth and preservation. Take for instance the CEO who carefully builds her ranks below to secure her place above, keeping one eye upon the health of the company and the other upon the health of her position. Or take for instance the young scholar, who thrives upon intellectual prestige, but now learns the pressure of upholding credibility through merits of teaching and the acclaim of his publications.
F. Scott Fitzgerald died believing his life's work had been in vain, his novels and short stories he considered just another mirror reflecting the dark landscape of the 'American dream', his writing just another echo of a seemingly dying genre--the industrial wasteland. By the age of forty he no longer saw the accomplishments of his earlier work, having suffered a decade of hardship in both his personal and professional life, torments from which he never recovered. Dead at 44. A man who was able to describe microscopically the smallest blemishes on the cover of humanity, even through the veil of moral scrutiny, yet on the other hand was unable to uncover the play of costumes he faced in his personal life. The Beautiful and the Damned. The title of one of his lesser-known works, criticized for its autobiographical nature.
Perhaps the novel was personal--a method of coming to terms with the wreckage of his personal life and the torment of his genius--the two eventually colliding at the brink of madness--a place where love may have come to life for a moment and somehow defined its meaning. The Beautiful and the Damned, a title which so handsomely defines the paradoxical relationship between strength and uncertainty; as they appear so closely bound together. Fitzgerald perished in the shadow that divides and bridges the two into one.
Of course not all of those caught in the self-embrace of beauty and physical fortune gasp in the pressure of uncertainty. There seem in fact many who do not understand the condition of chronic torment; they quietly scoff at the "gasping worriers". But it seems often the strong are not what they appear to be. Underneath, they often feel the same uncertainties as those they judge, but having acquired an iron capacity for suppression, their fears and feelings remain internal--the "passive types". They seem able to absorb emotion to the deepest saturation of the psyche--drown it out, so to speak, while gently stabbing the backs of others to clear the way up. They seek to advance the beauty and the power of their reflections, not in mirrors but in the fearful eye of those they encounter day to day. The world seems a small place, containing our desires. But it seems futile to examine the effects of physical beauty--to put it on trial--as it seems this article series has done, without also taking into account the potential for vanity through personal identity. The fundamental desire of both stems perhaps from our basic instinct for self-preservation, staying on top of time and pushing it down, as opposed to flowing with it.

WISP94 project descriptionWinter Icing and Storms Project, 1994
The Winter Icing and Storms Project, 1994 (WISP94) was conceived, organized and managed by the NCAR Research Applications Program (RAP). Many other entities participated in the Project, including the University of Wyoming, Colorado State University, the University of Illinois, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, MMM and ATD (Divisions within NCAR), and a few others. Funding was provided by the Federal Aviation Administration and United Airlines, with facility support and additional grant support from the National Science Foundation.
WISP94 was a carry-on, and an evolution, from the earlier RAP WISP experiments: WISP90, WISP91, and WISPIT. Experimental goals were more sophisticated than in the earlier endeavors, and the WISP94 instrumentation expanded upon capabilities available in those previous experiments.

Even though Google Glass isn't yet available to the general public, one California bar is preempting possible future issues by banning the high-tech glasses inside the establishment.
According to The LA Times on Wednesday, the owner of San Francisco bar The Willows, which is said to be popular among the tech savvy, posted a sign above the entrance featuring a picture of Google Glass with a red circle and slash through it.
"Our patrons have expressed concern with being recorded while enjoying themselves at the Willows. Kindly remove before entering," the sign reads.
Owner Tim Ryan says the move was prompted by an incident that occurred late last month at Molotov's, another San Francisco bar. Social media consultant Sarah Slocum, who was wearing her pair of Google Glasses inside the bar, made headlines after a confrontation with some patrons who were concerned about being recorded without their consent. Slocum claims she was verbally and physically assaulted and robbed during the incident and later posted a clip she recorded with the Google Glass in which two patrons try to block the camera.
"Our policy definitely was in reaction to what happened at Molotov's," Ryan tells Business Insider. "Since there are no actual laws that we're aware of limiting what people with Glass can and cannot record, we feel the best thing for us now is to play it safe by not allowing them at all at this point."
The Willows' sister restaurant, The Sycamore, has adopted the same policy.
There is no set wide release date for Google Glass as of yet, but Google's Explorer Program lets interested parties test out the technology for $1,500.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of computer peripherals company Logitech International SA (NASDAQ:LOGI) surged 15% today after its quarterly results and guidance impressed Wall Street.
So what: Logitech shares have slumped in recent months on worries over slumping demand, but a wide Q1 beat -- EPS of $0.13 on revenue of $483.2 million vs. the consensus of just $0.04 and $476.9 million -- coupled with upbeat guidance is quickly easing those concerns. While Logitech's top line inched up just 1%, sales in its growth category -- which includes PC gaming, tablet accessories, and mobile speakers -- increased a solid 17%, reigniting plenty of optimism among analysts over the company's long-term turnaround potential.
Now what: Management now sees full-year 2015 operating income of $170 million, well above its prior view of $145 million, on sales of $2.16 billion. "As planned, our cost reduction actions continue to drive increased operating leverage," said President and CEO Bracken Darrell. "As we proceed through Fiscal Year 2015, we will continue to focus both on accelerating sales growth and on achieving our improved outlook for profitability." More importantly, with Logitech continuing to boast a rock-solid balance sheet and reasonable forward P/E in the mid-teens, the downside still seems limited enough to bet on that bullishness.

MODA's First Ever Design Film Festival
MODA announces its first-ever Design Film Festival to be held in the interval between the exhibitions Paul Rand: Defining Design and Hidden Heroes: The Genius of Everyday Objects!
Offering three days of MODA-approved design films, the MODA Film Festival will take place at the museum February 7-9, 2014.
Tickets are $10/film ($8 for MODA Members).
Screenings scheduled during the Film Festival are as follows:
"Design is One"
For more information & tickets, click here. Film is 74 minutes long.
"Design & Thinking"
For more information & tickets, click here. Film is 86 minutes long.
"From Nothing, Something"
Everyone has ideas. But what where do they come from? And what ensures they keep coming? How do you sort the genius ideas from the useless ones? Why invest all this hope and energy into making things in the first place? "From Nothing, Something" profiles creative thinkers across a spectrum of disciplines and finds the methods, habits, beliefs and neuroses that lead to breakthrough ideas. This is a thoughtful, intimate, often funny look at the creative process – straight from the brains of some of our culture's most accomplished and inspiring talents.
Developed as the follow-up film to Megumi Sasaki's award-winning documentary "HERB & DOROTHY" (2008), "HERB & DOROTHY 50×50″ captures the last chapter of the Vogel's extraordinary life and their gift to the nation, raising various questions on art, and what it takes to support art in today's society. In 2008, legendary art collectors Herb and Dorothy Vogel made an announcement that stunned the art world. Known and loved as a retired postal worker (herb) and librarian (Dorothy) who built a world-class art collection on their humble salaries, the Vogels launched a national gift project with the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC that would constitute one of the largest gifts in the history of American art: to give a total of 2,500 artworks to museums in all 50 states.

Pretty comfy
"I read through the other reviews and saw that this shoe got pretty good reviews for comfort. I was looking for gym shoe comfort but not a gym shoe look. This pair is a pretty good match. I liked that they are a suede-like material which makes them look a little dressier. I needed to get a half size larger, but picking them up in a store that had them in stock solved that problem quickly. So far they are very comfortable."

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Mississippi
A friend of mine was the vicitim of an attempted rape 4 months ago. I'm not sure of all the details. The guy tried to take her home to his place when she was intoxicated, presumably involuntarily due to being drugged. She managed to fight him off but suffered both physical symptoms and prolonged emotional distress. She tried to file a report but the officers allegedly did not take her seriously and gave her a hard time. She has medical bills that need to paid as a result. What is her likelihood of success at trial? Would a lawyer take this case? Does she need to file a police report? Has the statute of limitations elasped? (I assume no).

College Hockey:Big Red Bears Down on Brown
Vesce Earns Game Winner
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The No. 9 Cornell Big Red rebounded from Friday's loss at Harvard with a strong 4-1 win over Brown. Forward Ryan Vesce got the game winner, breaking a 1-1 tie with a power-play goal in the second.
The pivotal second period was largely controlled by the Big Red, who outshot Brown 15-5 in the period and 35-20 overall. Vesce, at a little past the midway point of the second, was dragged down on a breakaway, drawing the penalty.
The Cornell power play, which went 2-for-6 on the night, responded promptly to put the Big Red on top 2-1. After Sam Paolini found Vesce on the left side of the slot, Vesce fired a quick shot which beat Brown's Brian Eklund high on the stick side.
The Big Red defense was strong all night, keeping the Bears at a distance from freshman goaltender David LeNevue, who made the second start of his career.
Down 2-1 early in the third, the Bears had hope of evening it up when Cornell's Doug Murray took a five-minute major penalty, but the five minutes ran out quickly on Brown. Defenseman Paul Esdale hit a post, but for the most part Cornell did not give the Bears time to set up for their long power play.
Stephen Baby added an insurance goal on the power play with under five minutes to go in the game to make it 3-1. Paolini's empty netter was his third point of the night, and capped the scoring at 4-1.
The Big Red took a one-goal lead into the third last night at Harvard but failed to earn any points. Saturday, with a highly disciplined defense and continued aggression in the Brown end, Cornell salvaged two points for the road trip.
"Last night we handled our lead tentatively," said Cornell head coach Mike Schafer. "Tonight was the opposite. We came right at them. I think we learned a lesson tonight."
The Big Red jumped on top late in the first. David Kozier tipped a shot from the point by Eklund to make it 1-0.
Brown captain Josh Barker, the team's top defenseman out the first few games with an injury, got the Bears on the board with a shot that beat LeNevue glove side to make it 1-1 after one. After that late first-period goal LeNevue shut the door for the win.
"David [LeNevue] has deserved to play," Schafer said. "He'll continue to get chances even when Matt [Underhill] is playing well. You can't let young, talented players sit on the bench."
Next week Brown travels to Maine on Wednesday and has the Thanksgiving weekend off. Cornell travels to Boston University for a two-game set.
"It's a tough way to start off at home," said Brown head coach Roger Grillo. "I thought we played well, though. We bounced back from a frustrating game last night. They're just a difficult team to get things going against."

As we last discussed, the Rule 5 draft has become a far less significant exercise than in years past. As noted in the comments, Jesus Flores was picked up in the 2006 Rule 5 draft and should he manage to stay healthy at any point, that will still be a good deal. Unfortunately, that was under the previous CBA and the rules have since been changed. Suffice it to say, the odds are that it will be quite some time before the next Joakim Soria comes along.
Baseball America has named some of the targets it feels have the best chance to get picked up, which did not include any Nationals (is that good news or bad?). Most are young pitchers that were drafted or signed at a young age. There are also some position players in the mix, but almost have a sizable "yeah, but" in their description. Let's take a look (not ranked, grouped by type)…
Luis Avilan, LHP (Atlanta) —21-year-old that's just cracked Hi-A, with mediocre results. Scouts like his live arm and as a reliever, he can buried in the 'pen.
Scott Diamond, LHP (Atlanta) — 24-year-old starter that features a plus curve but an average fastball. Like Wilkie, doesn't give up the gopher ball (6HR in 159IP)
Edgar Ibarra, LHP (Minnesota) — Has three things in his favor: young (21), lefthanded, throws hard (88-92). As you might expect, lacks polish and consistency.
"Colt" Hynes, LHP (San Diego) —25-year-old that throws sinking fastball, but short and stocky (5'11" 200 lb) and had poor showing in AFL (12R in 12 app.)
Garrett Johnson, LHP (Chicago) — Built like a preying mantis (6'10", 205) and throws sidearm, this 23-year-old represents a serious project.
Kasey Kiker, LHP (Texas) — Has averaged nearly a strikeout per inning for his entire career, but saw his walk rate jump from 2.7 in '08 to 4.1 in '09 to 10.4 in '10 but turned 23 just before Thanksgiivng
Robert Fish, LHP (L.A. Angels) — Stuggled mightily when making the jump from A+ to AA, but this 22-year-old slings it at 95mph and gets the K (10.2/9IP at AA)
Ismael Guillon, LHP (Cincinnati) — An IFA that had his contract voided but resigned with same team, which apparently requires him to be placed on the 40-man or exposed. The Reds are gambling that despite a 93mph heater and plus change, they'll pass on eating a roster spot for raw-but-promising 18-year-old.
Danny Gutierrez, RHP (Texas) — PED suspension (took Adderall, had a prescription, but never applied for waiver), assault charges in '09, diminished fastball, but was still ranked the 10th best Ranger prospect. Turns 24 in March.
Adam Miller, RHP (Cleveland) — Four finger-tendon surgeries have shelved this hard-thrower for the past two years, but reports say the fastball was still in the 90s in the instrux.
Wynn Pelzer, RHP (Baltimore) — Power arm that his former organization (San Diego) projected as a starter, but Baltimore used in the 'pen and BA's sources agree the 24-year-old's low-90s stuff fits better there.
Aneury Rodriguez, RHP (Tampa Bay) — Turns 23 next week, but started 17 games for the Durham Bulls, the Rays' AAA affiliate and was often the #2 starter behind Jeremy Hellickson but scouts feel like he's maxed out in terms of development and will likely be just a #4/#5 SP and BA believes he's the most likely to get selected.
Daniel Turpen, RHP (Boston) — Acquired as part of the Ramon Ramirez trade, this 24-year-old AA reliever put up pedestrian numbers down the stretch for Portland and struggled against lefties despite 92-94mph heat.
Kyle Waldrop, RHP (Minnesota) — Turned 25 in late October, Waldrop logged 87⅔ IP in 59 appearances and features a sinkerball that produced a 3.73-to-1 groundball/flyball ratio and just 5HR. At 6'4″ and 205 lbs, appears to have the big frame that Rizzo favors, even if scouts feel his secondary pitches are below-average.
Heitor Correa, RHP (Philadelphia) — Turned 21 in August, but appears to have hit the wall at Hi-A with a 6.62ERA in 25 starts and fading fastball.
Casey Mulligan, RHP (St. Louis) — Drafted as a C-IF, but converted to P in '08, the 23-year-old split time between A+ and AA with spectacular numbers at the former and poor results in the latter.
Ryan Adams, 2B (Baltimore) — Turns 25 in late March, but a better bat than glove and scouts have been less than impressed with his approach. Tied for the Eastern League lead for doubles with 43.
Brad Emaus, 2B/3B (Toronto) — A hitter in search of a position, this 24-year-old put up a .290/.397/.476 line between AA and AAA but has below-average running skills.
Marquez Smith, 3B (Chicago Cubs) — AAA slugger with some thump (.958OPS at Iowa) that BA projects might be worth a look for a reserve IF. Turns 26 in March.
Ramon Morla, 3B (Seattle) — Just turned 21 but hasn't risen above advanced rookie, but .323 with 17HR (.610 SLG) in 62 Appy League games this past summer (checked my book; didn't see him on my trip to Tennessee in late August)
Brandon Waring, 1B/3B (Baltimore) — Led the EL in strikeouts (179), but the turning-25-in-January also hit 22HRs and 32 doubles while batting .242 but a semi-decent .338 OBP.
Paulo Orlando, OF (Kansas City) — Posted a .305/.366/.480 as a 24-year-old at AA but scouts feel the Brazilian is more athletic than skilled.
Lars Davis, C (Colorado) — Hit .289 but the just-turned-25-year-old is seen as a defense-first receiver at the upper levels.
Stephen Vogt, C-1B-LF (Tampa Bay) — Dominated A+ with a .345/.399/.511 line but turned 26 in early November and is valued for his versatility on defense more than his defense itself.
Matt Sweeney, 3B (Tampa Bay) — Turns 23 in April, but suffered a knee injury in '08 that axed that year and limited him to 68 games in '09. Struggled in AA in '10 but remains lefthanded and scouts like his mechanics.
12 Responses to "The Rule 5 Draft, Part Two"
Actually, the rules were changed before the 2006 draft, not after. The exemption periods were extended by one year in October 2006 as part of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. The change took effect immediately, exempting many players from the 2006 Rule 5 draft even though they had been signed in some cases more than four years before the new agreement came into effect. Prior to the rule change, players were exempt from the first two or three Rule 5 drafts held after their signing (regardless of the year they were drafted), rather than from the first three or four Rule 5 drafts after their signing.
Paulo Orlando sounds interesting, but I don't know that we could carry him on the roster for a full year.
Sweeney sounds interesting for a team that is looking for a bench bat. But I have virtually no knowledge, and I don't think that Rizzo will carry a bench player. I think it is more likely that he would grab a starter and bury him in the bullpen. However I think the most likely is that we take no one…
Possibly BA ignored (dissed) the Nationals – Nah, that'd never happen.
Looks like Rizzo is going to over rule 5 tonight. From his purview there is plenty of room on the roster with 37 on the 40. Perhaps they might be considering someone?
We took RHP Elvin Ramirez off the Mets and Brian Broderick from StL in the major league phase. We took Michael Allen from the Twins in the AAA phase.
Thanks Souldrummer, for some reason I thought the Rule 5 was in the afternoon.
Losing Michael Martinez is no big deal to me, at best he'll top out as a utility guy, and he's already 28. He's potentially far more valuable to the Phils than us.
I guess Josh Wilkie's lousy winter ball stats kept him from getting picked. Maybe we can see him in D.C. in 2011 after all!
In a lot of ways, I would have preferred that Wilkie get picked. He came close last year, but his late season fade ultimately did him in. It's going to take a lot for him to prove to Rizzo that he's worth more than other players he's more personally invested in like guys he's sent to the AFL or people he's picked up in the Rule 5. If I'm Wilkie, I'd be bummed that I wasn't picked to get a shot at an MLB camp and that I now have two more pitchers to unseat within the organization. At this point, I just want to see him get a cup of coffee anywhere and it doesn't have to be in a Nats uni.
Souldrummer, I'm mostly in agreement with you on this. I think Wilkie must have made a pass at Rizzo's wife to justify this treatment. His numbers say he doesn't have much else to prove at AAA.
It's the soft tosser syndrome all over again.
It appears that Ramerez could be a keeper if his control has improved as much as reports (see Nationals Insider) say it did in DR winter ball. Ramerez is apparently slated for the Bull Pen while Broderick will, according to Rizzo, get a shot at the rotation.

Nigella Lawson's Former Assistants Cleared of Fraud Charges
But what's the verdict on Nigella?
Italian sisters Elisabetta and Francesca Grillo, who racked up in excess of $1 million in credit-card purchases using credit cards belonging to ex-employers Charles Saatchi and celebrity chef Nigella Laswon, have been found not guilty of fraud in U.K. court. While the jury has cleared the sisters of any wrongdoing, the trial, which lasted three weeks and involved Lawson taking the stand for a total of ten hours, may have caused damaged to the TV presenter's public image: Lawson's admission of having used cocaine became the focal point of media coverage, to the point where Prime Minister David Cameron's even felt compelled to declare allegiance to "Team Nigella," which almost led to the case's collapse.
As for the aftermath, Scotland Yard has declared it will not investigate the drug charges against Lawson unless further evidence emerges, which may seem like a small consolation for a witness who ostensibly had nothing to prove in the first place. The lines were so blurred that even the trial's outcome settled inaccurately on the celebrity chef:
MORE: Celebrity cook Nigella Lawson and her former husband are cleared of fraud charges: http://t.co/Itxmxaon5W— The Associated Press (@AP) December 20, 2013
The mistweet seems nonetheless fitting, given the amount of scrutiny directed toward Lawson and her ex-husband. There'll be lots of debate about the state of her reputation going forward, as the January premiere of The Taste looms, but after such rapidly escalating scandal around the TV chef, maybe she can find a much-needed reprieve. At least she's got Cameron on her side.

Guidelines for the Use of Mosquitofish for Mosquito Control
What are mosquitofish?
Small fish of the genus Gambusia, 20-40 mm in length, that bear live young and have an upturned mouth that is adapted for feeding on the water's surface. Under some conditions, they are effective for mosquito control because they are voracious feeders.
Where are mosquitofish found?
The eastern mosquitofish, Gambusia holbrooki, is native to Virginia and occurs throughout the Atlantic Slope drainages of the state. It is widespread in the Coastal Plain and has been documented in the eastern Piedmont rivers westward to about U.S. Route 29. Several records documenting the species in western Virginia are likely the result of human introductions. The western mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis, occurs in midwestern and western states.
Are they effective for mosquito control?
Research has not provided consistent evidence that Gambusia are effective at controlling mosquito populations, with some studies reporting excellent control and others reporting no control at all. Their efficacy in many situations appears questionable at best and is likely to result in a false sense of security. Eliminating artificial sources of standing water, when possible, is still the best way to control mosquitoes. Mosquitoes cannot be completely eliminated by any control method, so it is important to wear protective clothing and use insect repellant as needed.
What are appropriate uses for Gambusia?
Gambusia may be somewhat effective in artificial systems that don't contain natural mosquito predators, including some stormwater management facilities, golf course ponds, some drainage ditches, artificial containers (e.g., ornamental ponds and birdbaths), excavated sites (e.g., farm ponds), sewage lagoons, and wastewater facilities. It is important that these artificial waterbodies do not flow into natural systems, in order to prevent Gambusia from escaping into adjacent waters.
Are there risks to using Gambusia?
As with many other pest control methods, there are risks associated with using Gambusia. Native amphibian, fish, and aquatic insect populations can be severely reduced or eliminated by the introduction of Gambusia. This occurs through predation and through competition for food. Many native amphibians, including some threatened and endangered species, successfully breed only in fish-free, seasonal pools and would be significantly impacted by the introduction of Gambusia. In some areas, introduced Gambusia may displace native fish species (e.g., killifishes and topminnows) regarded as better or more efficient mosquito control agents. Gambusia have been shown to reduce largemouth bass populations through predation. Introduction of Gambusia can actually worsen a mosquito problem by eliminating natural mosquito predators.
How do we obtain a permit to stock and release Gambusia?
County or city mosquito control programs may apply for a Scientific Collection Permit from VDGIF to possess and release Gambusia holbrooki into artificial waterbodies. Each application will be reviewed for potential impacts to native aquatic species, particularly those that are threatened or endangered. Use of Gambusia will be authorized only in areas within their native range and for appropriate uses (see above). Permit conditions may include prohibiting release within a certain "exclusion zone"; requiring pre- and post-release mosquito monitoring; and reporting of release dates, numbers, and locations. Private landowners and contractors wishing to obtain Gambusia must work through their local mosquito control department. VDGIF will issue permits only to county or city mosquito control programs.
Where can we obtain Gambusia?
Fish currently may be obtained only from the York County Mosquito Control Department, and only by counties or cities permitted by VDGIF.

Grain Salads
Wild Rice Confetti Salad
Wild rice makes an earthy, nutty backdrop for a salad. The "confetti" in this salad are bits of corn, carrot, and other colorful veggies. This is a hearty salad for any time of year, and is great for picnics and potlucks. more→
Barley Salad With Fresh Corn and Peas
Barley and fresh corn are a companionable duo in this simple and hearty cold dish that's great for everyday meals or potlucks. To complete the meal, serve with a simple cold bean dish such as those featured in Bean Salads. Photos by Hannah Kaminsky. more→
Composed Quinoa Salad Platter
This composed salad featuring quinoa and red beans looks fancy enough to impress company, but it's super-easy to prepare for an everyday meal. You can use regular, red, or black quinoa, or a combination. Serve with some seasonal roasted veggies (squashes, Brussels sprouts, roots, etc.) and/or a warming soup. Or keep it simple and just serve with baked or microwaved sweet potatoes. more→
Kañiwa Confetti Salad
Kañiwa is, like quinoa (to which it is related), a super-nutritious ancient grain from South America. It's an excellent source of protein and amino acids, is exceptionally high in iron, and is gluten-free. Dark reddish-brown in color and about half the size of a tiny quinoa seed, kañiwa cooks up quickly to resemble a smaller version of red quinoa. more→
Tabbouli-Style Quinoa and Black Bean Salad
I can't seem to get enough of tabbouli-type salads. I especially like them made with quinoa. You can use red, tan, or black quinoa, or a combination. Embellished with black beans, this makes a high-protein salad that's hearty enough to be a main dish. Photos by Evan Atlas. more→
Tabbouli Salad (with Quinoa, Bulgur, or Couscous)
Quinoa tabbouli (alternately spelled tabbouleh) is a recipe that seems to be gaining over its more traditional counterpart, made with bulgur. Both ways are good, though I prefer it with quinoa, which is higher in protein, and gluten-free as well. That being said, whole-grain couscous works, too! A Middle Eastern classic and one of my favorite salads, this is delicious served with hummus and fresh pita bread, a variety of olives, and rice-stuffed grape leaves. more→
Bulgur Salad with Fruits and Nuts
An invigorating melange of textures and flavors, this bulgur salad is also quite adaptable. Add various other fruits or veggies to it; substitute other dried or fresh fruits; or use another grain altogether, like couscous or quinoa. Photos by Evan Atlas. more→
Wild Rice Salad with Cranberries and Walnuts
Wild rice adds a nutty crunch and elegance to salads. This is a wonderful companion to squash dishes, and makes an excellent room temperature side dish for fall and winter holiday or company meals, especially Thanksgiving. Photos by Evan Atlas. more→

According to Jon Heyman, the Pittsburgh Pirates were one of at least seven teams that scouted Johan Santana as he threw a bullpen session today. The reports from the session say that Santana was in excellent shape and his change-up looked good, but his velocity was topping out at 81 MPH. Santana is currently building up strength after his second shoulder surgery and this was just the third time he threw in the bullpen.
Johan Santana was once the best pitcher in baseball and the lefty is two weeks shy of his 35th birthday, so he may still have something in the tank and provide value to some team that doesn't expect him to be a top of the rotation starter. He last pitched in 2012 for the New York Mets, when he went 6-9, 4.85 in 21 starts. The two-time Cy Young winner has led the league in WHIP four times, ERA three times and strikeouts three times. He has not pitched a full season since 2010 however, when he made 29 starts and pitched 199 innings. He missed all of 2011 with his first shoulder surgery.

Purchase College Visual Arts Professor Liz Phillips is featured in a new exhibition, Three Women: Architecturalized Sound Events, a month-long series of works and performances by pioneering sound installation artists including Maryanne Amacher and Miya Masaoka, at the Issue Project Room in Brooklyn, NY throughout November. A New York-based artist, Ms. Phillips makes interactive multi-media installations which combine audio and visual art forms with new technologies to create a fascinating interactive experience. She will present live performances of her work November 9-11 at 8 PM at the Issue Project Room.
The Issue Project Room is located at 400 Carroll Street (between Bond and Nevina) in Brooklyn. The gallery is open for viewing from 6-8 PM, Thursday through Saturday. For more information and directions, visit www.issueprojectroom.org. Admission is $10.
Liz Phillips' installations and performances include Radio Shape Shifting Human Transmitter, On Air, and Wave Table, Echo-Location Queens and Walk Through the Woods.
Radio Shape Shifting Human Transmitter
Walking within special 3-D digital fields, guest participants will be creating an interactive sound installation using a Theremin and several radios.
On Air
On Air is an air current-sensitive installation that utilizes sensors, grounding fields, transducers and a weather balloon as the prime interfaces linking motion, sound and image direction. On Air encourages the audience to consider three-dimensional sound in formation—something as flexible and elastic in time-space as a tree in the wind.
Wave Table, Echo-Location Queens, and Walk Through the Woods
These are three older interactive sound and image installations that will reappear on the evening programs.
In her live performances, Liz Phillips will be assisted by Annea Lockwood, water wave recordings; Gustavo Aguilar, percussionist; Andrea Bergstol, silent performer/ Theremin transmitter/shape shifter; Rii Kanzaki, image and video production assistance; John McCormick, sound work and event participant; Mel Skluzacek, sound work and event participant; Jacob Wick, sound work and trumpet; and Gaelyn Aguilar, documentarian.
Ms. Phillips has made and exhibited interactive sound and multimedia installations at numerous art museums, alternative spaces, festivals and public spaces. These include the Whitney Museum of American Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Spoleto Festival USA, the Walker Art Museum, Ars Electronica, Jacob's Pillow, The Kitchen and Creative Time, among others. She has also collaborated with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, and her work was presented by the Cleveland Orchestra, IBM Japan and the World Financial Center.

Checks Made Simple
Processing payroll should be painless. Worry-free. It should be the first thing you happily check off your To-Do list. Not because you're relieved that the ordeal is over for one more pay period, but because you know you're working with a payroll company you can count on to process your payroll accurately and efficiently every time. With people you can actually talk to and turn to for help, should you need it.
Don't laugh. We know it might be hard to believe, but we're serious. We've heard the outrageous stories from our clients about what it was like to work with other payroll providers: Promises made, but not kept. PC-based software with cumbersome updates and separate databases that make synchronization confusing and complicated. Not to mention growing old on hold, blame games and finger pointing from the randomly reached, so-called "service" representatives.

College Hockey:College Hockey Inc. Adds Former Yale Player Dwyer
Former Yale player Jeff Dwyer has been named director of education and recruitment at College Hockey Inc.
Dwyer, who played for the Bulldogs from 2000 to 2004, will develop an education and marketing campaign aimed at prospective student-athletes and their families.
College Hockey Inc. was formed last year by the commissioners of the six Division I men's leagues to raise college hockey's profile.
Dwyer, 29, played in the Atlanta Thrashers' system after his time at Yale, skating for the AHL's Chicago Wolves and the ECHL's Gwinnett Gladiators. He also played with the AHL's Bridgeport Sound Tigers and in Cortina, Italy.
He was an assistant coach with the ECHL's Utah Grizzlies and an assistant coach and head of scouting for the USHL's Cedar Rapids Roughriders.

LONDON — An intensifying voice mail hacking and police bribery scandal cut closer than ever to Rupert Murdoch and Scotland Yard on Sunday with the arrest of the media magnate's former British newspaper chief and the resignation of London's police commissioner.
Though the former executive, Rebekah Brooks, and the police chief, Paul Stephenson, have denied wrongdoing, both developments are ominous not only for Murdoch's News Corp., but for a British power structure that nurtured a cozy relationship with his papers for years.
Brooks, the ultimate social and political insider, dined at Christmas with Prime Minister David Cameron. His Conservative-led government is now facing increasing questions about its relationship with Murdoch's media empire.
The arrest of the 43-year-old Brooks, often described as a surrogate daughter to the 80-year-old Murdoch, brought the British police investigations into the media baron's inner circle for the first time. It raises the possibility that Murdoch's old friend Les Hinton, who resigned Friday as publisher of The Wall Street Journal, or his 38-year-old son and heir apparent, James, could be next.
Until her resignation Friday, Brooks was the defiant chief executive of News International, Murdoch's British newspaper arm, whose News of the World tabloid stands accused of hacking into the phones of celebrities, politicians, other journalists and even murder victims. In the tumultuous last two weeks, she had kept her job even as Murdoch shut down the 168-year-old News of the World and tossed 200 other journalists out of work.
On Sunday she showed up for a prearranged meeting with London police investigating the hacking and was arrested. She was being questioned on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications — phone hacking — and on suspicion of corruption, which relates to bribing police for information.
Brooks' spokesman, David Wilson, said police contacted her Friday to arrange a meeting and she voluntarily went "to assist with their ongoing investigation." He claimed that Brooks did not know she was going to be arrested.
Hours after Brooks' arrest, Stephenson said he was resigning as commissioner of London's force because of "speculation and accusations" about his links to Neil Wallis, a former News of the World executive editor who was arrested last week in the scandal. Wallis worked for the London police as a part-time public relations consultant for a year until September 2010.
Stephenson said he did not make the decision to hire Wallis and had no knowledge of allegations that he was linked to phone hacking, but he wanted his police force to focus on preparing for the 2012 London Olympics instead of wondering about a possible leadership change.
"I had no knowledge of the extent of this disgraceful practice and the repugnant nature of the selection of victims that is now emerging," Stephenson said. "I will not lose any sleep over my personal integrity."
Brooks' arrest was the latest blow for Murdoch, the once-all-powerful figure courted by British politicians of all stripes. Now Murdoch is struggling to tame a scandal that has already destroyed News of the World, cost the jobs of Brooks and Hinton and sunk the media baron's dream of taking full control of a lucrative satellite broadcaster, British Sky Broadcasting.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said Murdoch "needs to come absolutely clean about what he knew, about what his senior executives knew, and why this culture of industrial-scale corruption — so it is alleged — appeared to have grown up without anyone higher up in the food chain taking any real responsibility for it."
Rupert and James Murdoch are to be grilled by U.K. lawmakers Tuesday over the scandal. Brooks also had agreed to be questioned before a parliamentary committee, but her arrest throws that appearance into doubt.

Employee Engagement: Drive Business Value

As we've been discussing this week, employee engagement is extremely important and you've probably realized that effectively engaging your employees is essential to driving business value. Your employees are the ones responsible for executing on the business' objectives. Your employees (in the sales & service departments) are the ones interacting with your customers the most, so delivering on customer expectations and attaining high levels of customer engagement are simply not possible without successfully empowering these this stakeholder group.
High employee and partner engagement can have many benefits including:
- Higher levels of employee productivity
- Longer employee retention
- Stronger, more enduring and more successful relationships
- Serving as ambassadors for an organization's brand
- More likely to deliver excellent customer service
- Referring others for hire
- Recommending the organization's products and services
- Sharing feedback with their colleagues
In a way, engagement is a measure of employee investment in an organization's mission and brand. And then you have the enablement piece of this as well. It's hard to imagine a high level of engagement existing among employees who don't feel that they've been enabled to do their jobs very efficiently or effectively. You're just not going to find high engagement among people if the everyday processes and technologies they work with make it a challenge for them to access, share and manage the information they need do their jobs or if they're unable to effectively collaborate around the projects they're working on.

Thanksgiving: Gratins, The Perfect Side DishSunday, November 21st, 2010
I love Thanksgiving dinner, even more so than Christmas dinner…although Christmas dinner in this household usually means ham, mmmm ham…ALWAYS a good thing…which then means split pea soup…YUM! Alright, so it doesn't take much for this foodie to get off track especially when there is pork fat involved, but for now I must leave the Christmas ham and subsequent Split Pea Soup to a later post.
While the Christmas ham is the star of that show, for me Thanksgiving is all about the sides and the abundance of them. While there in nothing wrong with a well roasted turkey, flavorful and moist. Mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, all kinds of dressing – cornbread, sage and sausage, broccoli rice casserole. Stupendous starches smothered in butter, cream and cheese. Topped with cranberry relish and brown gravy made straight from the turkey drippings (oh…so that is why we have to bake a turkey – I see now). Those are the things that I really look forward to and enjoy eating the most at Thanksgiving.
Unfortunately, Thanksgiving can also mean a lot stress. It is right around the corner and for many this means planning, making lists, rethinking, updating lists, going to the grocery store, getting ready for company to arrive, going back to the grocery store, generally sweating all the details, and going back to the grocery store. No wonder there is the need for massive amounts of comfort, sleep inducing, food and well…wine. I just made my first trip to the grocery store and the cost of the cheese and wine alone made up over a half of the total bill.
This year I am thankfully not hosting Thanksgiving dinner, but I always offer to bring a side dish and I've decided to go the relatively easy route by making a gratin. If you are still wondering what to make, a gratin is a great choice. Gratins generally only have a few ingredients, are easy to make, can often be made the day before, and are a huge crowd pleaser. How can you go wrong with cream and cheese in the mix?
Two gratins I've tried lately are Cauliflower and Bacon Gratin by Giada De Laurentiis and Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Gratin (although I used Yukon Gold Potatoes instead of the sweet potatoes). Both are perfect for the holidays! Both are delicious!
Recipe by Giada De Laurentiis
Cauliflower and Bacon Gratin Recipe by Giada De Laurentiis
While this dish is not one you can make a day in advance, with its 30 minute prep time you don't have to worry about adding to the chaos that already is Thanksgiving day. You may also be apprehensive about serving cauliflower, fearing that people will look at you cock-eyed for serving this incredibly healthy, slightly stinky vegetable. DON'T BE. All Thanksgiving dinners need some vegetable and with all the cream, cheese and bacon in this dish, your guests will likely forget that there is even a vegetable in there at all. Besides it is delicious! Ask my vegetable fearing husband.
- Unsalted butter, for dish, plus 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 slices day-old sourdough bread or 2 cups bread crumbs (EatSA Note: You can eliminate the first two ingredient by using 1 cup Panko in their place)
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup capers, rinsed and drained (EatSA Note: I eliminated them since I do not care for them)
- 8 ounces bacon, cooked until crispy and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (EatSA Note: I used pancetta. So yummy! But also very salty. So if you go this route I would eliminate any additional salt)
- 1 cup grated Gruyere, divided
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound cauliflower, trimmed and cut into florets
- Olive oil, for drizzling
1. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8 by 8-inch casserole dish. Set aside.
2. In the bowl of a food processor, blend the bread until it forms into crumbs.
3. In a large non-stick skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring constantly until all the butter has been absorbed and the bread crumbs are toasted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream and flour. Add the capers, bacon and 1/2 cup of the Gruyere. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook for 2 minutes. Drain the cauliflower and toss with the cream mixture. Pour the cauliflower mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with the bread crumbs and remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
6. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the cheese has melted and the top is golden brown

I am obviously a little late to the game since I have only recently "discovered" Pinch My Salt. This blog is fantastic, even the New York Times thinks so. It is well written, the pictures (which are quite frankly a foodie's porn) are crazy good and the recipes, along with detailed step by step instructions, are simple, straight forward and simply wonderful.
The prep time on this dish is definitely more involved. Not hard, just more steps and more time consuming. But thankfully this dish can be made a day ahead. Prepare through step number three with the exception of sprinkling the remaining shredded cheese on top (leave that for the next day). Refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature, sprinkle on the remaining cheese and you are ready to bake.
The results were amazing. The house smelled of garlic and thyme. Cream and cheese, potatoes and butternut squash all bubbly with ooey gooey goodness. My tweak of this recipe – I used Yukon Gold potatoes and gruyere – an absolute winner. I'm not ashamed to admit I even licked the plate. I think I have a new staple for Thanksgiving dinner. Try this dish and you will too!
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cloves of garlic, pressed
- 1 pound peeled butternut squash, quartered lengthwise
- 1 pound peeled and trimmed sweet potatoes (EatSA note: I used Yukon Gold with great success)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 cups shredded Manchego or Gruyere cheese (EatSA note: I used Gruyere)
1. Get Ready: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small pot bring cream and garlic just to a simmer. Remove from heat and set aside. Butter a 9″x13″ shallow casserole dish or gratin dish of similar size and set aside.
2. Prepare the Ingredients: thinly slice the squash and sweet potatoes (no more than 1/8 inch thick) and keep them separate from one another. Measure out chopped thyme, salt, pepper, and shredded cheese and have them handy. Stir the cooling cream to help prevent skin from forming.
3. Build the Gratin: In the buttered casserole dish, spread half of the sliced butternut squash out in a single overlapping layer. Sprinkle the squash with 1/3 of the salt, pepper, and thyme and then about 1/2 cup of the grated cheese. Using half of the sliced sweet potatoes, build a new overlapping layer. Again sprinkle with 1/3 of the seasonings and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Using the remaining squash, make another layer and sprinkle the last third of the seasonings and another 1/2 cup of cheese (you should have about 1/2 cup cheese remaining). Use the last of the sweet potatoes to make one final layer on top. Stir the garlic cream mixture then pour it evenly over the top of the gratin, being sure to cover the top layer of sweet potatoes. Shake the dish gently to distribute the cream. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
4. Bake the Gratin: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the middle of a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, move the gratin to the top 1/3 of the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 20 minutes or until the top is nicely browned and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a sharp knife. You may also place it under the broiler for a few minutes if you wish the top to be a deeper brown (but watch it closely!). Remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
Yield: 12 servings

Secrets of Success
August Day 27
Friday, August 27, 2010
Wow this month has flown by. An apology to my fellow August challengers for being MIA. I have been experiencing a very nasty bit of vertigo and it laid me low. It seems to be improving a bit and at least I can stand without holding on to something.
I am shopping today for an outfit to wear to an evening wedding tomorrow. I absolutely dislike shopping so I have put it off to the last moment. In retrospect that was a poor decision because it has only increased my apprehension about going. It is basically a gathering of Wellfleet surfers and their families who are, without a question, in excellent shape. To many of them being fat is the ultimate sin. This particular time it is not a surf type wedding - at the beach with flip flops and sand blowing but a real posh affair. My wardrobe consists of jeans and tea shirts so I am really out of my element. To be honest I am really going to be out of my comfort zone. As my weight increased I found different reasons for no longer going to the beach so I have not seen many of these folks for quite a while. I don't want to be negative here but I am at my worst in large affairs with tons of people. I feel bombarded by all these vibes and not all of them are pleasant. Not that you all think I am certifiable (talk about bearing your soul) I guess it is time to dig deep, gather my confidence, and put on a smile. Growth is in the air!

The hardest part is the first step, just getting there. I don't like big affairs either, especially if they are so noisy one can't hear what others are saying, like when the music is too loud. These things tend to take care of themselves once we're there. Try not to put yourself through all the nasty apprehension because it really doesn't change anything except make you feel bad.

Good for you going! Be proud of what you're accomplishing. Always remind yourself of that.

I totally understand that feeling, and what has helped me in the past is the tried and true "fake it til you make it." Your mindset can totally affect your enjoyment of this wedding, and the more comfortable you allow yourself to be, the more it will radiate. Focus on how AMAZING you are, how much you have accomplished, and how well you have been sticking to your goals. You spend your days helping people at the bleakest moments in their lives, and that is a tremendous gift that you give, every day. You have so much to offer anyone who is lucky enough to be seated at your table at a wedding...please focus on everything good and positive. The second you feel uncomfortable or bummed out, feel free to imagine me cheering you on...outfit, pom poms and everything! Let that silly picture put a smile on your face, and go boogie off some calories on the dance floor! Have fun and report back...Ali

Go and have a good time. Your enjoyment depends on you. Don't put yourself down. Regardless of where you are in your journey to weight loss, you are on a journey and you will get there. We always seem to be harder on ourselves than others would be. Have fun!

Rush Limbaugh Does NOT Like Foodie Exposes; Restaurateurs Are Peeved About Health Grades
And more, in our daily roundup of food news.
• If you're curious what an upscale, local-food-focused Starbucks looks like, here's photo evidence of the new one in Amsterdam. [HuffPo]
• Rush Limbaugh does NOT like books that expose the underbelly of the food system, as evidenced by his "young, single, overeducated" comments about Tracie McMillan, author of The American Way of Eating. Jeez, dude would have hated The Jungle. [Seattle Times]
• That disgruntled ex-Bar Veloce employee is not letting up: He's launched a new East Village flyer campaign that now targets other area restaurants, including Porchetta and Porsena. [East Village Local/NYT]
• Papasito's at Broadway and West 105th Street was shut down this week for allegedly selling booze to minors, but uptown restaurateurs are not having it: They're staging a rally today to protest what they call unfair treatment from the NYPD. [DNA Info]
• NYC restaurateurs are also not happy about letter health grades, which was made apparent by a hearing that went on for six hours yesterday afternoon as business owners aired their complaints. [Crain's]
• It's nearly spring, and beers are going citrusy: Coors will roll out an iced-tea-flavored beer, and Anheuser-Busch will introduce Lime-a-Rita margarita-flavored suds. We'll stick to spiked Arnold Palmers, thanks. [NYDN]
• Sip on this: Coca-Cola had to modify ingredients in one of its caramel-color additives to avoid having to put cancer warnings on its cans under a new California law. Yeep. [Salt/NPR]

This past Wednesday, Gia Coppola hosted a launch party at The Bowery Hotel Terrace in the East Village to toast to her new wine collection, "Gia by Gia Coppola," which is under the Francis Ford Coppola Winery family of brands. Other notable personalities at the event included her close friend Gina Gershon, Derek Blasberg, Jorma Taccone from Girls, Robert Schartzmann, Heidi Bivens, and Nat Wolff from Palo Alto. DJ Atlanta de Cadenet Taylor spun the beats all night at the event to set the mood for the festive occasion. The Gia line of wines consists of Gia Frizzante, Gia Pinot Grigio and Gia Pinot Noir. It's a wonderful assortment of sparkling, white, and red, wines. All of the varieties are light, refreshing, and composed of the perfect mixture of vibrant fruit flavors. Guests enjoyed drinking these different varieties as well as an assortment of hors d'oeuvres.
The wine bottles are truly exquisite, having been inspired by vintage perfume bottles. They all have an easy screw top so that you can enjoy them on the go, or later even after a party or intimate gathering has ended. The design of the bottle is meant to represent an essence of Gia's personality and the wine has been created to target a younger market that wants to learn more about the wine genre. "Gia by Gia Coppola" wines are also very affordable, with all of the varieties retailing at $17 a bottle. They can be purchased at www.giawine.com. What a vibrant, refreshing collection of easy-going, flavorful wines!

Each March for the past 17 years more than 200 intrepid (some say, crazy) backcountry skiers take off in subzero temperatures at midnight from Crested Butte to ski the 40 miles over two mountain passes to Aspen in the Elk Mountain Grand Traverse. This year due to harsh conditions the race began and ended in Crested Butte. The race traditionally follows an old mail delivery route through rugged passes that are still roadless. Participants must carry loads of survival gear and get checked by medical personnel at several points along the way. It is considered one of the most extreme ski races in the country.

Throughout the Arizona Wildcat women's golf season, senior Alejandra Llaneza will keep a weekly blog about life and golf in the Pac-10. Check back for more updates from Ale!
Hello Wildcat Fans!
We just finished playing at Rancho Bernardo in San Diego. We finished seventh in a very strong field, however, we were not able to play our best and reach our full potential. The famous Southern California great weather did not show up for us these past couple days so we had some adjustments to make in order to play in the rain, hail and wind. It is always tough to play back-to-back tournaments and we learned that, but like I've said before, every experience is a learning one and now we know what we can improve for next time.
We also celebrated our Coach's birthday and had a very nice team dinner that our assistant coach's family hosted for us. It was nice to have that `family' atmosphere for a little bit, because with the spring being so busy, we are very often on the road.
ASU's tournament is next week and I'm excited that we are playing there because we have had some good tournaments there and it is always fun to play on `our enemies' course :). The field will be strong too, so this past week was a good one in order to learn what aspects we need to get stronger on.
Hola amigos, pues el torneo pasado no nos fue tan bien como nos hubiera gustado, no nos pudimos apoyar como normalmente lo hacemos cuando alguna de nosotros no juega muy bien, pero aprendimos mucho individualmente y por equipo que podemos mejorar. Esta semana vamos a practicar mucho el juego corto y a tratar de hacer los más birdies posibles para regresar a la mentalidad de tirar scores bajos. En una semana jugamos en Phoenix y va a estar muy divertido porque ASU es nuestro rival principal, así es que va a haber buena competencia y vamos a llegar con nuestro mejor juego.
Follow us next week at golfstatresults.com :) Until next time!

Oh la la, not only does this bra look seriously sexy but it seems like we could wear it underneath a plain old tee to boot! The crimson undergarment has seamless cups matched with a mesh top half of the demi bra, which again hints at the fashion and function theory we have. This Implicite Soufre Ruffle Bra ($60) is going to be a perfect fit for us on those days when we want to feel a bit sexier for ourselves...

In the late 1970s and on to the 1980s, Kate Bush brought an eclectic and surreal approach to pop music. Her music explored many musical genres including rock, pop, and classical, while the concept of her songs ranged from literary to taboo. And while mostly popular in her native UK, Bush would go on to influence countless artists worldwide, especially in America.
Bush released two albums in 1978. The first was The Kick Inside, which featured the signature hit "Wuthering Heights" (UK's first-ever chart topper from a song self written by a female singer-songwriter). The second was Lionheart, which included the hit "Wow", and would be belatedly released in 1984, around the same time Bush started appearing on the Billboard charts, starting with 1982's The Dreaming.
In 1985, Bush hit the US top forty for the first time with the album Hounds of Love, which featured the hits "Running Up That Hill" and "Cloudbusting". A year later, she had a hit duet with Peter Gabriel with the song "Don't Give Up". The year 1989 brought the album The Sensual World, which featured another signature tune, "This Woman's Work".
Beginning in the 1980s, Kate Bush's influence in the world of music has been enormous. She is considered to be one of the greatest artists in the rock genres of progressive, art and alternative. Among the countless artists that have been influenced by her music includes Madonna, Kurt Cobain, Lady Gaga, Tupac Shakur, and Tori Amos. Her influence also spawned covers versions of her music, including those from Pat Benetar, Natalie Cole, and Maxwell.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Kate Bush, eligible since 2003.
