The 200-lap Super Late Model race has attracted 29 pre-entries and the possibility of unexpected competitors showing up at the pit gate Saturday morning to get their name in the hat.
Among those listed on the entries are 1994 NASCAR Short Track National champion David Rogers, a two-time GovCup winner, and Ben Kennedy, a great grandson of NASCAR founder William H.G. France.
Other driver notables include Rich Clouser, who led the Bright House Late Model Series in victories this season (Rogers won the title), Travis Cope and Tim Russell.
The race has a perpetual trophy with the names of past winners engraved into the base. It is one of the most sough-after short-track awards in the country as evidenced by the 2011 winner Erik Jones Byron, who ventured from Michigan to earn the victory.
The "GovCup" was started in the Tampa Bay area in the 1960s and migrated to Florida's East Coast in the late 1980s.
The Florida Governor's Cup was commissioned by former Gov. Haydon Burns. The Cup was created to pay tribute to Al Keller, long time promoter of Florida short-track racing.
NSS began hosting the Governor's Cup in 1988 at the request of track owner Clyde Hart.
With two other races on Saturday night's program, New Smyrna Speedway is offering up 325 racing laps to end its 2012 season.

Former Park City Councilor Alex Butwinski has submitted his name as a candidate for the city's Planning Commission, seeking a return to the municipal government a little more than two months after his Election Day defeat.
It is unusual for someone to mount a bid for another official position at City Hall after an unsuccessful political campaign, particularly so soon after an election loss. In an interview in December, as he was preparing to leave office, Butwinski said he planned to occasionally attend City Council meetings. He was a City Hall watcher prior winning the City Council seat in 2009.
Butwinski is one of the people vying for a Planning Commission appointment. The position is a partial term ending in July. It is available as a result of Mick Savage's decision to leave the panel prior to the end of his term. Butwinski said he has not decided whether he would seek a full four-year term on the Planning Commission later in the year if he is appointed to the partial one.
Butwinski had been the City Councilor assigned to monitor the Planning Commission on behalf of the other elected officials. He regularly attended Planning Commission meetings as a City Councilor. He also was seen at meetings of the panel prior to his 2009 election.
Butwinski said it is important that the Planning Commission retain institutional knowledge. The City Council, with Butwinski as a member, shook up the Planning Commission in 2013. There are three new members of the panel.
"The most important thing is there have been comments about the totally new Planning Commission and they might not have a complete historical perspective," Butwinski said.
Butwinski said the top issues the Planning Commission faces are traffic, growth and what he describes as "unmanaged development." He said the Planning Commission has a role in shaping the redevelopment of Park City.
Butwinski, a Park Meadows resident, finished third in the City Council contest in November. There were two seats on the ballot. The result followed a first-place finish in the primary election in August. He remained disappointed in the result as he was finishing his term, saying in an interview in December that his successes on the City Council did not resonate with voters.
The City Council selects members of the Planning Commission. Two of the City Councilors -- Cindy Matsumoto and Tim Henney -- were on the ballot with Butwinski.
"I will be really disappointed because I think I bring a lot to the table," Butwinski said about the prospects of the City Council not choosing him for the position.
City Hall by Tuesday morning had not released the applications or the names of the people vying for the Planning Commission position. The City Council typically interviews Planning Commission hopefuls in a public setting and then deliberates privately about the appointment.

James Myers arrested after kitten is found with rope around its neck and given heroin overdose
Vet uses overdose reversal drug to revive kitten
EXTON, Pa. - A Pennsylvania veterinarian has used an overdose reversal drug to save a kitten that had been given heroin.
Police said Tuesday they arrested the suburban Philadelphia man who abused the cat.
West Chester resident James Myers faces charges including animal cruelty and drug possession. He's in custody and can't be reached for comment. It's unclear if he has a lawyer.
Police in West Whiteland Township say an officer spotted Myers' car parked in the middle of a street Sunday with a door open.
The officer says under the door he saw an injured black kitten with a rope around its neck and several teeth knocked out. Police say they found bundles of heroin and dozens of needles in the car.
District Attorney Tom Hogan told ABC News affiliate WPVI the officer found two dozen bags of heroin on Myers and 50 hypodermic needles among hundreds of used heroin bags.
Hogan said Myers was under the influence and so was the kitten.
"This is a two pound kitten that would fit in the palm of my hand. He would take a kitten, a defenseless kitten, and torture it this way," Hogan told WPVI.
Authorities say the veterinarian revived the cat with Narcan, an antidote for opium-based drug overdoses.

Quick and Dirty Sprint Triathlon Training Tips
- Practice your transitions. During a triathlon, athletes must change their gear and equipment between the swim and the bike legs and again between the bike and the run. Practicing transitions beforehand will minimize the time you spend in T1 and T2.
- Perform race-specific training including swimming, biking and running. Keep your race volume race specific; do not do more than you need do and for sprints, work on your speed.
- Perform brick training, doing at least 2 of the 3 sports a few times per week. Brick training allows you to experience how your body will likely feel during the race, helping you to anticipate and adapt to prep for the changes from swim to bike and bike to run.
- Prepare for race week by reducing the intensity and volume of your training while also keeping your nutrition clean and in moderation. Training during the week of their race will not make you more physically fit, faster or stronger - rather, the opposite is true; therefore, reduce your triathlon training by 30 percent.

Many years ago I copied down this recipe from a cooking show on TV. I believe it was a PBS show since this was pre-Food Network. It's certainly not a difficult or gourmet dish, but oh so good. The flavors meld so well. What made it even better this time was the homemade baguette I baked today knowing this sandwich was on the menu. I know I always say this, but it was easy, easy, easy! I promise!
Italian Open-Faced Sandwich
1 baguette, sliced in half lengthwise
2/3 cup shredded mozzarella
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup minced red onion
1/4 cup chopped black olives
thinly sliced tomatoes
thinly sliced ham (preferably Black Forest ham, though prosciutto works really well here, too)
Mix the mozzarella, olive oil, vinegar, oregano, onion and black olives. Mound the mixture on the cut side of the baguette halves. Bake at 425 F. oven for 8 - 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and layer sliced tomatoes and ham over baked sandwich and serve.

very nice design
By Tess

About Me Casual Dresser
I really like the color except for how the red armpads show through the front of the lenses. The sunclips are really hard to put on the frame front. They are very lite weight and comfortable.
Ltede 1069 Purple Red by Ltede
By Reviewer in Boston
from Boston, MA
These glasses are just as described/shown on the website. They're also incredibly lightweight, so I can wear them for hours without them hurting the bridge of my nose. The prescription is also perfect. I've ordered other glasses online, many of which I've retuned, but these are keepers. They're stylish in a classic way (not super trendy so that they'll only last one year), and they're flattering to my heart-shaped face. Great deal!
Nice frames overall
By Dee
from Akron OH
I like to keep one pair of reading glasses at my office and another at home/in my purse. At almost $500, I only purchased one pair a couple of months ago so was excited when I came across Coastal. The service was wonderful. I received my new glasses in a week. The frames are very nice. The fit is a little loose, but I understand why as I ordered the same stem length as my others which had to be adjusted. My fault! I can't believe how nice these are for the price I paid. I would definitely recommend these frames.
I would buy again
By tinkerbell

Love them♡
By Andrewsmomma
from Hemet, CA
I just got these In the mail today. They came extremely fast about (1 week). I was worried about them being purple/red but the colors actually look good and it's not a bright purple so it's more subtle. Overall I love them already! They're really light weight and I can see perfect out of them. The only downfall I have is they feel a bit flimsy but not too much I still love them and am happy with them!
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
By Stels
from Hayward, CA
Very nice frames, however they are a bit poorly made.

Love these glasses! They look and feel great!
Cute glasses
By Pro
from Mesa, Az
These are pretty cute stylish which was my main concern and feel a bit flimsy because I'm used to the bigger plastic frames. However, just really lightweight and the red on the inside of glasses is really discrete not to showy. I think this would look great on a lot of people
Very good product
By Phim1016
from Broussard,La
Great product and arrived sooner then expected. Which is always great. Best thing about Coastal is the buy one give one on glases

Driving the coast line along Highway 1 is something that is on most people who visit California's to do list. Whether it's your one and only time making your way down this well-traveled road or it's in your backyard and you visit it frequently, it pays to diverge and head inward to see charming little coastal towns. One of these inviting stops along the way is Pescadero.
Situated south of Half Moon Bay and North of Santa Cruz, it makes for the perfect day trip. From bird watching to beach combing there is something for everyone. The population is small but the sense of community is large.
Combine your love for hiking and bird watching at the Pescadero Marsh Natural Preserve. The 243-acre preserve has more than 200 species of birds and several habitats including a tidal estuary, freshwater marsh, and dense riparian woods. There are several hikes you can take, but if you want something that's relatively easy with the most diversity take the Sequoia Audubon Trail which is 2.4 miles round trip. Docent nature walks are offered the first Sunday of the month at 10 a.m. and the third Sunday of the month at 1 p.m.
Beach Combing
Pescadero State Beach connects with the preserve and offers a wide sandy beach and plenty of washed up driftwood. On low tides, the beach stretches under the bridge.
Bean Hollow State Beach also known as Pebble Beach is a great place to explore tide pools and cool rock formations. And as its name sake, there are pebbles on the beach not sand.
Although the shopping is limited, the quality of goods makes up for the quantity. Made in Pescadero has handcrafted one of a kind furniture as well as art and accessories for the home by local artists and craftsmen. Stage Road Shops has a variety of kitchen antiques, tea cups, jewelry and other things of the knick knack nature. Country Roads Antiques has antique goodies on the bottom and top floor. Luna Sea has arts and crafts including a variety of sea inspired goods for your garden and jewelry.
Duarte's Tavern established in 1894 has the old school family charm still going for it. Eat the Cream of Artichoke soup, Crab Cioppino and a slice of pie, any pie and you will not regret your visit. Get some Olallieberry Syrup to take home.
Arcangeli Grocery Co./Norm's Market is a general store that has fresh bread, jams, mustard, sauces, fresh groceries and a deli. Get some jarred goods to take home, the artichoke garlic partially baked bread and some sun-dried tomato basil sausage. This is also a great stop if you want to grab picnic supplies for the beach.
Harley Farms is a restored 1910 dairy farm that is now a working goat dairy farm. The farm offers farm and dairy tours as well as a cheese shop that has tastings and specialty items you can purchase. You can also check out the goats and llamas in the paddocks on your own Wednesday through Sunday. They also offer farm to table dinners, check their website in advance as they sell out quickly.
If you decide to stay a night or two, Costanoa Lodge gives you the option of glamping, camping or lodge accommodations. It's located about 9 miles from Pescadero and is nestled in trees off of Highway 1. A great alternative if you don't mind sleeping on bunk beds is Pigeon Point Lighthouse. This hostel not only has a historic lighthouse on the grounds, but they have a hot tub right on the ocean for guests only.

In a rematch of last season's Turkish Airlines Euroleague Final Four semifinal, Fenerbahce Istanbul defeated reigning champion Real Madrid 77-66 at home in front of over 12,000 fans in Group A on Friday. Fenerbahce improved to 2-1, while Madrid dropped to 1-2. Ekpe Udoh and Luigi Datome paced the winners with 15 points apiece. Bogdan Bogdanovic added 12 for Fenerbahce. Felipe Reyes led Madrid with 15 points and Gustavo Ayon added 10 rebounds for the guests. Udoh and Bogdanovic fueled a 6-0 run that gave Fenerbahce an early 10-4 lead. Jonas Maciulis and Andres Nocioni stepped up for Madrid, but Udoh restored a 20-18 edge after 10 minutes. Bobby Dixon and Datome boosted the hosts' margin to 29-20 early in the second quarter. Madrid hit just 3-of-17 three-point shots before halftime as a huge dunk by Datome gave Fenerbahce a 39-32 lead at the break. Bogdanovic shined after the break, but Rudy Fernandez and Reyes carried Madrid to within 63-56 entering the fourth quarter. Fenerbahce only allowed 10 points over the final 10 minutes as Jan Vesely, Sloukas and Datome helped the hosts keep a safe margin until the final buzzer.
Udoh got Fenerbahce going with a turnaround jumper, which Rudy matched with free throws. Vesely scored down low before Sergio Llull fed Gustavo Ayon for a layup. A five-meter jumper by Kostas Sloukas put the hosts back ahead, 6-4. Udoh downed a mid-range jumper, as Madrid had trouble circulating the ball and tried to speed up the game tempo. Bogdanovic hit foul shots to cap a 6-0 Fenerbahce run. Nocioni scored around the basket, but Bogdanovic did better with a three-pointer. Maciulis finished a three-chance Madrid offense with a bomb from downtown and soon added an alley-oop layup to get Los Blancos within 13-11. Sloukas hit free throws and a jump hook by Udoh boosted the hosts' lead to 17-11. Nocioni buried a corner triple and a baseline jumper by Felipe Reyes brought Madrid within 2. Rudy took over with a driving layup, which Udoh matched with an off-balance basket for a 20-18 Fenerbahce lead after 10 minutes.
Dixon shined with a driving layup early in the quarter and fed Datome for a corner triple that ignited the crowd at 25-18. Reyes scored around the basket, but Dixon nailed a rainbow jumper off the glass and a layup by Datome prompted Madrid to call timeout at 29-20. Trey Thompkins stepped up with a put-back basket, as Madrid kept powering the glass - 8 offensive boards in 13 minutes. Pero Antic made free throws before Sergio Rodriguez struck from way downtown to get Madrid within 31-25. Vesely scored in the paint and erased Reyes's jump hook with a huge dunk. Ayon shined with a driving layup, but Madrid kept missing three-point shots - 17 attempts in as many minutes of which it made just 3. Nikola Kalinic hit foul shots and Rodriguez split attempts. A reverse layup by Ayon brought Madrid within 5. Datome took over with a big slam in traffic for a 39-32 Fenerbahce advantage at halftime.
Kalinic hit free throws immediately after the break, as Madrid tried a more powerful lineup with Ayon and Reyes together on court. Llull stepped up with a driving layup, which Bogdanovic bettered with a nine-meter bomb that made it a double-digit game, 44-34. Madrid had entered the foul penalty with over eight minutes left in the quarter, which forced Coach Pablo Laso to change his team's defensive strategy. Bogdanovic and Fernandez split free throws and a fast break layup by Ayon kept Madrid within 8. Datome swished a mid-range jumper and Bogdanovic and Udoh added foul shots, but a fast break slam by Fernandez brought Madrid to 50-39. Udoh scored down low, however Jaycee Carroll and Llull struck from downtown to close the gap to 52-45. Udoh dunked and Datome followed free throws with a jumper for an 11-point cushion. Reyes stepped up with a three-point play on Udoh's fourth foul. Baris Hersek and Willy Hernangomez exchanged baskets and a mid-range jumper by Fernandez brought Madrid within 60-54. Hersek hit a three-pointer and a jump hook by Reyes fixed the score at 63-56.
Both teams struggled to score early in the quarter until Hersek stepped up with a layup. Madrid was held scoreless for more than two minutes and a jumper by Dixon restored a double-digit Fenerbahce lead, 67-56. Rodriguez split free throws and a tip-in by Antic made it a 12-point game. Rodriguez kept trying to change things with a bomb from downtown and free throws by Trey Thompkins gave Madrid hope at 69-62. Sloukas stepped up with a fast break layup off a steal and Vesely added a close basket off a timeout that gave Fenerbahce plenty of fresh air at 73-62, with over three minutes left. Madrid struggled to score right when it mattered most and Bogdanovic scored in the low post to seal the outcome. Madrid could not find a way to the basket, allowing over 12,000 Fenerbahce fans to celebrate a big home win against the champs.

Reported March 2009
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- You walk into a room and can't remember why. Sound familiar? Research shows that once we turn 25, our brains slow production of chemicals linked to memory. Now, a new supplement can help keep your memory sharp!
Lisa Lichon Pietenpol's friends used to call her scatterbrained. She'd start things and not finish them.
"Hitting your 40th birthday, that memory somehow goes out the door," Lichon-Pietenpol told Ivanhoe.
She's right. Deborah Yurgelun-Todd, Ph.D., a psychiatrist at the University of Utah's Brain Institute in Salt Lake City, says after age 25 our brains start to shrink, losing chemicals called neurotransmitters that help with memory.
She did a study where people took 500 to 2,000 milligrams of cognizin citicoline for six weeks. All of them showed significant increases in memory with no side effects.
"What we did, which was not done before, was to look at actual metabolic changes in the brain after supplementation, and therefore could show this is not just 'a feeling I have,' but a feeling linked to a physiological change," Dr. Yurgelun-Todd explained.
Lisa already notices a difference.
"One of the greatest things I've been given back is the ability to remember to go back and finish what I started, and I'm getting a better reputation now because I can actually finish what I start," Lichon Pietenpol said.
No one calls her scatterbrained any more.
Cognizin citicoline is the purest form of citicoline. You can buy it over-the-counter in pharmacies and health food stores. The lowest doses will cost a dollar a day. Dr. Yurgelun-Todd says it's safe to take for the rest of your life.

Venezuela's Hugo Chavez faces new cancer battle, surgery in Cuba
The president, who had just returned from Cuba early Friday, said on television late Saturday that tests had found a return of "some malignant cells" in the same area where tumors were previously removed.
Chavez's quick trip home appeared aimed at sending a clear directive to his inner circle that Maduro is his chosen successor. He called for his allies to pull together, saying: "Unity, unity, unity."
He also said it's important for the military to remain united, saying: "the enemies of the country don't rest."
Chavez said his doctors had recommended he have the surgery right away, but that he had told them he wanted to return to Venezuela first.
"What I came for was this," he said, seated below a portrait of independence hero Simon Bolivar, the inspiration of his Bolivarian Revolution movement.
Chavez had named Maduro, his longtime foreign minister, as his choice for vice president three days after winning re-election. The 50-year-old Maduro, a burly former bus driver, has shown unflagging loyalty and become a leading spokesman for Venezuela's socialist leader in recent years.
Chavez said that if new elections are eventually held, his movement's candidate should be Maduro.
"In that scenario, which under the constitution would require presidential elections to be held again, you all elect Nicolas Maduro as president," Chavez said. "I ask that of you from my heart."
Chavez called him "one of the young leaders with the greatest ability to continue, if I'm unable to ... continue with his firm hand, with his gaze, with his heart of a man of the people."
Chavez was flanked by both Maduro and Cabello, and he held a small blue copy of the constitution in his hands.
State television showed Chavez's supporters congregating in squares in various cities, and some joined hands to pray for his health. At the gathering in downtown Caracas, some expressed optimism that Chavez would pull through it. Others said they weren't sure.
"I love Chavez, and I'm worried," said Leonardo Chirinos, a construction worker. "We don't know what's going to happen, but I trust that the revolution is going to continue on, no matter what happens."
Chavez called his relapse a "new battle." It will be his third operation to remove cancerous tissue in about a year and a half.
The president underwent surgery for an unspecified type of pelvic cancer in Cuba in June 2011, after an operation for a pelvic abscess earlier in the month. He had another cancer surgery last February after a tumor appeared in the same area. He has also undergone chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
Chavez said in July that tests showed he was cancer-free. But he had recently reduced his public appearances, and he made his most recent trip to Cuba on the night of Nov. 27, saying he would receive hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Such treatment is regularly used to help heal tissues damaged by radiation treatment.
Chavez said that while he was in Cuba tests detected the recurrence of cancer.
Dr. Julian Molina, an oncologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, said that based upon the limited information Chavez has made public about his cancer it appears to be terminal.
"For a patient in similar circumstances where you have given surgery as a first line of treatment, then chemotherapy, then radiation therapy and you are still dealing with a tumor this late — that indicates that it is not a curable cancer," he told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
Molina and other medical experts said Chavez's next surgery likely won't be high-risk.
"I think if they are planning to do any surgery it is to improve his quality of life, meaning to remove a tumor that is located in a place that is either producing some pain or some difficulty for the patient," Molina said.

College Hockey:Dodge Charger: Clarkson Freshman Nets Two In Golden Knights Win
BURLINGTON, Vt. — Clarkson battled back from two one-goal deficits to pull out a come-from-behind victory, 3-2, over Vermont at Gutterson Fieldhouse Saturday.
Golden Knights freshman Nick Dodge scored his second goal of the game with 5:26 to play, helping Clarkson extend its season-best winning streak to four games. The loss for the Catamounts combined with a Dartmouth win — 6-2 against St. Lawrence — moves the Big Green into a tie for fourth with the Cats, the final first-round bye in the ECACHL playoffs with five games remaining.
With the game tied at two, Dodge ripped a perfectly placed shot over the shoulder of Vermont goalie Travis Russell (14 saves). He was assisted by David Cayer and Jay Latulippe. The line paced the Knights, tallying seven points for the night.
Vermont wasted no time getting on the scoreboard only eight seconds into the contest. Jaime Sifers found Jeff Corey just off the opening faceoff. Corey took a soft shot that somehow found its way behind Clarkson netminder Dustin Traylen. The goal was the third fastest to open a game in ECACHL history.
But as quickly as Corey's 14th goal of the season injected life into the sold-out crowd, the euphoria of the Catamount faithful was just as swiftly sucked right out again as Clarkson Dodge popped in the rebound of a Jay Latulippe blast from above the left faceoff circle to knot it at one just 1:16 later. That' s the way the score stayed through twenty minutes.
Vermont controlled the play in the second, peppering Clarkson goalie Dustin Traylen (28 saves) with ten shots to Clarkson's one. Traylen, ECACHL Goaltender of the Week for his work last weekend helping the Knights to their first sweep since early 2003, stood tall until late in the period. Torrey Mitchell, the ECACHL's leading rookie scorer, potted his 11th, a rocket that just sneaked through Traylen's pads.
Mitchell won a faceoff in the Vermont end gave it Corey who carried it down the left wing side before connecting back up with Mitchell cutting to the net to retake the lead 2-1, late in the period.
The Cats were whistled for a series of three consecutive penalties in the closing seconds of the second and into the third. UVM successfully killed the first two, but on the third go-around, everything clicked for Clarkson. The Knights put a tremendous amount of pressure on the Vermont penalty killers, and it finally paid off, when Mac Faulkner cleaned up a rebound at 9:22 of the period.
"Special-teams breakdown," Sifers said of the third period. "We gotta stay out of the box, keep our composure. Penalty killing is something a great team needs to master."
Clarkson was one-for-five with the man advantage, while Vermont was held scoreless in four opportunities on the power play.
The Cats seemed to have scored the equalizer with Russell out of the net with :14 left, but referee John Murphy, who had arrived late to the game due to travel problems and officiated less than half the game, ruled that a Vermont skater had been in the crease before the puck. No goal.
"Give credit to Clarkson," Vermont coach Sneddon said. "I thought they played a heck of a third period. I'm disappointed that we gave up the lead. We were 13-0-0 when playing with the lead after two periods, and we let them back in the game after playing a near-perfect second period."
Said Clarkson coach George Roll: "It was a good effort on our part, to come into this building and get a win."
When the buzzer sounded, fans showered the ice with debris, and booed the officials mercilessly.
Sneddon disputed Murphy's call, saying the puck entered the crease before his players skated into the paint. He didn't mince words afterward when asked about the officiating.
"I'm sick to my stomach right now for our kids because they battle hard," he said. "That goal was a goal, and it's inexcusable … Our kids deserve better than that. Plain and simple."
Clarkson (11-16-2, 7-9-1, tied-7th place ECACHL) will try to continue its late-season charge up the standings at Dartmouth Saturday, while Vermont (15-11-3, 9-6-2) hopes to right the ship against St. Lawrence.

When ice cubes melt, the solid crystals turn to water. It's pretty simple, right? Not really, says physics professor Arjun Yodh, the James M. Skinner Professor of Science. "Melting is one of the most fundamental phenomena in physics, and yet there are lots of things we don't understand about it," he says. "When ice heats up, molecules within the ice acquire more energy and jiggle around more, driving the transition from a solid to a liquid. This is true in part, but reality is richer and more complex." To look deeper into that complexity, Yodh and his team made "atoms" that were big enough for researchers to see but also sufficiently transparent so they could look at what goes on inside the solid structure. "We created translucent three-dimensional crystals from thermally-responsive colloidal spheres," explains doctoral student Ahmed Alsayed, which "behave like enormous versions of atoms for the purpose of the experiment." The scientists observed with video microscopy that "premelting" occurred along the boundaries of imperfections in the orderly structure of crystals, especially where the patterns of the atoms shift. "Premelting was first revealed as an increased movement near defects in the crystal," Alsayed says. "These motions then spread into the more ordered parts of the crystal." Yodh notes that understanding this effect could lead to the design of new materials able withstand stresses at higher temperatures.

Ten years ago we stayed with Way of the Wolf and fell in love with the quiet beauty. We returned to celebrate our anniversary this year to be treated once more to the warm hospitality and tranquility that is the very essence of the place. We will not wait so long before returning next time. The homemade breakfast alone is worth the return trip! Thank you for a great weekend. Again.

Sorry for tardy review. just found this website. I learned about this B&B, when I attended a women's retreat in 2012 and new then I wanted to come back. My husband and I stayed the weekend of February 28, 2014. When you rent the Civil War Cabin, you have this cozy cabin to yourself. (At a $150 a night, a bargain.) Loved the loft with its daybed, perfect for reading by daylight. I wish I could've taken the king-size bed home--very, very comfortable. And the fireplace in front of it--romantic. We were blessed with beautiful cool weather and an unplanned new moon. In the late afternoons, we sat out on the large back porch sipping wine while relaxing in rocking chairs and listening to the whistling wind. In the evenings we lounged on poolside chairs in back of the Ranch House, gazing up at the stars--breathtaking. Ron and Karen were perfect hosts. Their coffee and breakfasts were simply delicious. (Dinner isn't served but I gave it 5-star rating as there was no option for "not applicable", as I didn't want to diminish the rating.) We went to nearby Fredericksburg and Kerrville to a couple of very nice restaurants. Definitely coming back.

My wife & I spent 3 days in the Civil War cabin & had a wonderful time being here. We sat on the back porch for hours and it was very quiet -- don't even remember hearing any air traffic. Hosts were great, breakfast was super.

What a very special place Karen and Ron have built. Their Way of the Wolf (WotW) retreat is a years-long labor of love, and their Civil War era cabin was for us the high point. They have discovered what must be the most difficult way to construct a B&B cottage: disassembling a 150+ years old log cabin in Arkansas, trucking the lumber to their land, and reassembling it faithfully, adding modern day amenitites, and then furnishing it simply but beautifully. The result is simply the most romantic and peaceful cabin I have ever seen. My girlfriend was a bit hesitant when she saw the photos, as the area is rural and the cabin quite rustic-looking. But once we were there she, like me, was astounded at how clean and well-maintained everything was. Ron had even assembled some logs in the wood-burning (and very impressive) stone fireplace, ready to go. That was a very nice touch; wood-burning fireplaces are labor-intensive and require a leap of faith on the owners' part, but I do so love them. What a great atmosphere, to lay in a king-size, very comfortable bed and be mere feet from a roaring fire! We were the only guests while we were there, so Karen and Ron delivered our breakfasts right to our door (normally meals are served in a common dining area). The german apple pancakes, crepes, french toast etc were all homemade and delicious. Coffee and fresh orange juice were present at every meal, and grapefruit had been segmented. All so very good! We sat on our private porch (the entire cabin sits quite apart from the other buildings that dot the property) and drank coffee in the morning, and wine at night. Watched deer and longhorn cattle just outside our fence, and relaxed. Located off the main road about halfway between Fredericksburg and Kerrville, the cabin is only a 15-20 min drive from the city, yet far from traffic noise. And as there is no TV it is easy to get lost in the quiet. Exactly what we were looking for. :-)

Whether it comes in misty drops, showers or dousing storms, rainfall helps sustain our lives.
And as rainfall becomes more precious – and rare during widespread drought conditions – actions to collect rainfall are making a big comeback. That's why communities like Plano are boosting efforts to educate and encourage its citizens to embrace rainwater harvesting. It's an easy and sustainable activity that can not only save people money, but also help stabilize community water supplies and protect our environment.
For a limited time, the City of Plano is offering its residents a special discount on rain barrel purchases. Plus, residents are invited to attend a Rain Barrel Class this Wednesday, Feb. 5 to learn about rain barrels, installation and maintenance. Two one-hour class sessions are available from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. and 7:00-8:00 p.m. at the Plano Environmental Education Center, 4116 West Plano Parkway. Residents are required to pre-register at www.livegreeninplano.obsres.com
The special discount rain barrel offer features a 50 gallon barrel by Ivy Rain Water Solutions.
You can go here to find out more about the Plano rain barrel program, including why the Ivy barrel offer was chosen and answers to other frequently asked questions. Deadline for online orders is Sunday, Feb. 16 at 11:00 p.m.
Here are the Top 5 Reasons to Harvest Rainwater as featured on the program's website.
1. Protect our rivers, streams, and ponds from runoff pollution
2. Divert water from the municipal storm drain system
3. Conserve this vital natural resource and reduce your water bills
4. Use the nitrogen-rich rain water to grow healthy and lush plants
5. Control moisture levels around the foundation of your home
Go here to learn more about rainwater harvesting and its benefits from Innovative Water Solutions of Austin, Tex.
Based on a report by the U.S. Drought Monitor service, as of Jan. 28 this year, 81 percent of Texas is in some level of drought. The drought map for our state shows approximately 23 percent of Texas in "Severe" or worse drought conditions, and 7 percent of Texas is in "Extreme" or "Exceptional Drought." Areas including the Dallas-Ft. Worth and Plano show drought conditions as "Abnormally Dry" or in "Moderate Drought." Click here to find out more about Texas drought conditions by viewing the U.S. Drought Monitor map and website.
Texas Governor Rick Perry renewed an Emergency Disaster Proclamation on Jan. 16 certifying that exceptional drought conditions pose a threat of imminent disaster in specified counties in Texas. Read more the proclamation here.
The Texas Water Development Board reports that reservoir storage in Texas averages 64 percent full, with a range from 0 percent full in some West Texas reservoirs to 100 percent full in parts of East Texas.

Day-old chicks in wooden crates, waiting to be transported | Photo: Celine Asril
Did I really want to find out where and how Bincho at Hua Bee's tender, flavourful chickens were farmed? I did, though I wasn't sure if a trip to its premises in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, would make me feel guilty about eating the yakitori-ya's (a small Japanese-style grilled chicken restaurant) headlining meat.
What I discovered definitely made the trip worthwhile, and affected my perspective on chicken being the "dirtiest meat" on the market.
It took Bincho of Hua Bee's chef Asai Masashi three hours to interrogate the chicken farm about their practices, and I was just getting started.
The people and the farm
Toh Thye San Farm, a family-owned farm, has been in operation since 1979. What started off as a slaughterhouse expanded to poultry farming when the opportunity presented itself in December 2006.
Our guide, Kenny Toh, is the family's third generation farmer. The former chef got into farming because of his love of food and sustainability. "This was a marriage of convenience," the tall, smiley-eyed farmer said.
Toh Thye San Farm has 12 farms in the Sepang region itself – one breeder and 11 broiler farms. The farm relocated to Malaysia after having made two attempts to set up in farmland Singapore. "Moving to Malaysia after our last location in Punggol was just more sustainable for us in the long-run," explained Toh. The family seems to have the knack for thinking ahead.
All 12 farms are accredited by Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA), as well as the Department of Veterinary Services, Ministry of Agriculture in Malaysia.
The farm
The journey to the farm in Simpang Renggam, Johor, took us an hour from the Causeway by car. It's a fairly smooth journey, especially if taken, as we did, on a Monday morning, in between rush hour traffic.
We took the highways, and switched vehicles later, to hardier, four-wheel drives to be able to maneuvre the uneven stone-littered paths that lead into the farm.
Located past a palm oil plantation, is this quiet, simple (as far as farms go) farm. A metal gate with security (you're only allowed in if you're part of the crew) out front, the disinfecting troughs that one has to pass to get in are made of plain, un-tiled concrete structures, and chicken pens are built on stilts over dry stone-littered ground.
View a photo gallery of my time at the farm by clicking on the picture below.
The chickens
Toh Thye San Farm rears only two breeds of chickens – the commercial broiler (white) and the coloured (red) broiler Naked Neck chickens. The farm does not produce eggs for sale, only for breeding, and they take only the first generation eggs for this purpose. "First generation eggs are stronger in their DNA," said Toh, who is also consciously doing so to maintain the purity of the breed.
"The chickens will lay only one egg every 24 hours," said Toh. This factors in to the breeding process and cost of breeding.
The generally white-feathered broiler chickens (the light yellow chicks in the photos) take 25 to 33 days to grow up to the adult-slash-saleable 2kg bird. It is prized for its tender meat.
The Naked Neck chickens are so-named for its lack of feathers on the back (and front) of its neck. Toh shared that this breed was originally from Egypt (although research shows that it could have been from Transylvania instead – they're close), and the breed developed to be able to withstand high temperatures. These meatier bird takes 115 to 120 days to grow into 2kg, so only about half the number – compared to the broilers – is bred every month.
At the time of our visit, the farms have a combined population of 1.2 million chickens. That breaks it down to seven to 12 pens per farm, with 6,000 to 8,000 chickens per pen, depending on the age of the chickens and size of the pen.
Singapore imports about 50 per cent of Toh Thye San's chickens, which comes up to about 180,000 white and 80,000 coloured a month. Of them, 80 to 90 per cent are white chickens, 10 to 20 per cent are the red.

Senior Alysia Mayes led the Salukis with 15 kills, five block assists, and two service aces.
Sept. 15, 2012
By Robin Thuringer
CARBONDALE, Ill.-- The Southern Illinois University volleyball team defeated Illinois State Saturday afternoon sweeping the Redbirds 25-21, 25-16, 25-23 to win their second conference match of the weekend.
Southern Illinois (11-1, 2-0 MVC) has now won their 11th straight game. This ties the programs longest winning streak, which occurred in the beginning of the 2009 season.
"We entered each match with high expectations and this is what we are supposed to be doing," said SIU head coach Justin Ingram. "Today we played with great composure and played pretty steady."
Senior middle blocker Alysia Mayes led the Salukis with 15 kills, two service aces, five block assists, and one solo block to assist in the win. Mayes recorded a .464 hitting clip in the three sets of play.
The first set of the afternoon was a back and forth battle between the conference foes. Illinois State (7-5, 1-1 MVC) and Southern Illinois traded the lead three times and tied a total of five times. The Salukis showed control at the line putting pressure on ISU to gain a late lead. Freshman Taylor Pippen and sophomore Amy Drabant denied Illinois State a kill, closing out the first set with a stuff block.
"Once we start putting on serving pressure the other team finds themselves in trouble we are able to have success, and hopefully we can continue to do that."
Southern dominated Illinois State in the final two sets of the match. The Salukis allowed one lead change during the course of the final two sets. The Salukis shined in the second set outhitting their opponent .394 to .133 to shutdown the Redbirds 25-16.
Elly Braaten set up Southern for an early lead in the third set, serving seven consecutive times to give the Salukis a 9-2 lead. Illinois State tried to come back from their two-set deficient but could not combat the Salukis momentum only taking the lead from SIU one time. Alysia Mayes killed the last point for the Salukis to secure the sweep for Southern.
"I thought we were able to put some good hands up throughout the course of the match and it made it easier for our back row defenders to get some of those key digs," said Ingram.
Senior Laura Thole recorded 12 kills and Bailey Yeager tallied 20 digs for the second day in a row.
Southern Illinois continues Valley play when they travel to Missouri State and Wichita State next Friday and Saturday.

Laboratory procedure to determine protein ...
|Laboratory procedure to determine protein digestibility of heat-treated feedstuffs for dairy cattle
|Mary A. McNiven, E. Prestlokken, L. T. Mydland, A. W. Mitchell
|Animal Feed Science and Technology
|Start page
|End page
|A three-step in vitro procedure was developed by Calsamiglia and Stern [J. Anim. Sci. 73 (1995) 1459] to estimate intestinal protein digestion after 16 h incubation in the rumen. The objective of our work was to modify this procedure to give an accurate estimation of N digestibility without the use of surgically modified animals by replacing the rumen incubation step by an in vitro protease enzyme incubation, and the use of small nylon bags for samples instead of the time-consuming filtration step. The results were compared with those from mobile nylon bag studies or ADIN determinations. In addition, the effect of heat treatment of grains and soyabean on protein digestibility was investigated. Briefly, samples were weighed into small nylon bags, sealed, and a maximum of 30 bags were placed in a 2.4 1 bottle containing borate-phosphate buffer at 39 degrees C. After 1 h, protease solution (protease type xiv, Streptomyces griseus) was added. After 4 h, the bags were removed and rinsed thoroughly. Half of the bags were dried at 50-55 degrees C for 48 h and the dry weight was recorded. The rest of the bags were incubated for 1 h in pepsin solution, then NaOH and pancreatin solutions were added and the bags were incubated for 24 h at 39 degrees C. Bags were rinsed thoroughly and dried at 50-55 degrees C for 48 h. The dry weight of the bags was recorded and the bag residue and the original feeds were analysed for N. Samples were barley, oats, wheat and soybeans, heat-treated for various times, and were obtained from other trials for which mobile bag digestibility values were determined with or without 16 h rumen incubation. Mobile bag digestibility values without rumen incubation ranged from 77 to 97%. Regression analysis of the relationship of N digestibility (mobile bag) and N digestibility (in vitro) for all grain samples resulted in a highly significant relationship (r2=0.95, P<0.0001). When soyabean samples were included in the analysis, the r2 was only 0.02. Residual trypsin inhibitor activity of some of the samples interfered with mobile bag digestibility (no rumen incubation), while there was no interference of trypsin inhibitor with the in vitro digestibility determinations, demonstrating a benefit of the proposed method. There was also no interference for mobile bag digestibility when the samples were first incubated in the rumen for 16 h. This in vitro procedure closely simulated the physiological conditions in the animal allowing a prediction of intestinal N digestibility without the use of surgically modified animals. The method was sensitive to heat damage of the samples and could be used to rapidly evaluate the nutritional value of grain and soyabean feedstuffs for ruminants..

State executes man for 1994 rape, murder of girl
LAKELAND, Fla. - Florida prison officials on Thursday executed a man convicted of the 1994 rape and slaying of an 11-year-old girl. It was the state's sixth execution this year.
Eddie Wayne Davis was executed at Florida State Prison by injection at 6:43 p.m.
In March of 1994, Davis kidnapped then brutally raped 11-year-old Kimberly Waters of Lakeland before killing her and tossing her body in a trash bin.
Four relatives of the victim made the trip to Raiford, Fla., to see Davis be put to death.
"It's finally over. Twenty years, four months, and six days. We finally have justice," said Tom Brimer, Waters' uncle.
Although the family counted down to this day, some could not even bare to watch the execution.
"I don't need to see it done. I just want to know that it's done. I just need to know that it's over," said Micki Hobbs, Waters' grandmother.
She told reporters after the execution that she feels relieved her granddaughter's killer is now dead.
More than 20 years ago, Sheriff Grady Judd was the major in charge of the case and has never forgotten the innocent little girl.
He also made the three-hour trip to witness this final chapter.
"I owe this to the family, and certainly to Kimberly Waters to see that justice is done, and justice was done today," he said. "He earned it, he deserved it, and today he got justice."
Lt. Terry Storie, who was a young deputy at the time, is the one who found Kimberly's body in a Lakeland dumpster.
He almost left law enforcement after making the gruesome discovery he describes as "numbing."
"I stayed to see this to an end," said Storie, who has remained in routine contact with the victim's family.
While he watched Kimberly's killer die, he said all he thought about was her.
Now that he's seen the execution, he said he can happily retire, which he plans to do in the near future.
Witnesses said the execution went as planned. There were no noticeable painful reactions to the drugs that Davis' lawyers argued he could experience because he suffered from a blood disorder.
When asked if he had any final words, Davis replied, "no sir" and then appeared to start praying.
This is the 67th execution reporter John Koch has witnessed.
"Initally you could see him fall asleep, he would yawn, the mouth would open and then close, then you would see deep breaths getting shorter and shorter and shorter, and finally stopping," said Koch, who works for the Florida News Network.
Davis, 45, was convicted in 1995 of first-degree murder, kidnapping and sexual battery in the slaying of Waters, the daughter of a woman Davis had dated briefly.
Davis broke into his ex-girlfriend's trailer in the central Florida community of Lakeland seeking beer money, according to court documents. Prosecutors say he found Waters sleeping, and that he woke the girl and raped her.
After the rape, Davis took Waters to a nearby Moose Lodge, where he beat her and suffocated her with a piece of plastic before dumping her body in a trash can.
Davis' execution was the second in Florida since the lethal injection process came under fresh scrutiny in April when Oklahoma prison officials stopped the execution of Clayton Lockett. They halted it after noticing the deadly drug mixture was not being administered into his vein properly.
