Life of former Penn State Fayette professor to be celebrated through art
The life of Gloria T. DePaolis, art lover, mother and former art professor at Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus, will be celebrated at a special sculpture dedication scheduled for noon, Friday, Sept. 16, at the Penn State Fayette Library. This special event is open to the public.
Dr. Diane DePaolis Kiproff, the daughter of DePaolis, says her mother was a professor with Penn State Fayette since the early days of the campus until her retirement in 1990. "I can remember when my mother taught at Penn State Fayette when it was at Ella Peach School in Downtown Uniontown," says DePaolis Kiproff. Because of DePaolis' love of art and Penn State Fayette, DePaolis Kiproff and her husband, Dr. Paul Kiproff, decided to dedicate a sculpture in her mother's memory at the Fayette campus.
DePaolis Kiproff says her mother was involved not only in building recognition for the campus, but also lending a hand in various campus activities. She recalls when her mother wrote a handbook for graduation and helped bake cookies for several events on campus. "Being a professor at Penn State Fayette was a big part of my mother's life. She really cared about her students, and often felt like they were her friends. This is why I wanted to put a sculpture on campus in her memory."
After her mother's passing in Oct. 2008, a friend of DePaolis Kiproff suggested she take an art class at Touchstone Center for Crafts in Farmington, Pa. While at a fundraiser for the organization, DePaolis Kiproff walked into a gallery and found a sculpture that reminded her of her mother and felt it would be a good piece to donate to Penn State Fayette.
The piece DePaolis Kiproff chose is "Chesnutt" by Will Giannotti. The handcrafted sculpture has a lot of movement and is light and playful. It features a large globe with a smaller globe nestled inside.
DePaolis Kiproff felt the piece symbolized what her mother loved about art and craft. "Wood was her favorite medium to work with, and she was always fascinated with the representation of mother and child in art," she explains. "This piece resonated with me and was something my mother would have enjoyed."
Giannotti, a Pittsburgh based artist, uses wood as his primary medium. His background in furniture design and construction, as well as art history, helps him to create art with a narrative component. His sculptures, including "Chesnutt," are comprised of hollow-formed wood constructions that are created through a complex lamination process which includes several layers of wooden rings.
A reception will take place immediately following the dedication.

How to Make Matcha Tea
Matcha tea is a powdered Japanese green tea that mingles the elegance of the Japanese Tea Ceremony and the powerful world of green tea health benefits. Being a powder tea, it stands out because you are consuming the whole leaf, rather than just the water extract.
Whether you wish to obtain a thick or thin tea, known as Koicha and Usucha respectively, you must brew it correctly so gather the necessary tools to get the best out of this tea. Come on this adventure, step by step, to brew the perfect cup of Matcha tea.
1Boil water to approximately 75 degrees C to 80 degrees C (165 degrees F to 180 degrees F), under boiling point. Use it to preheat the bowl.
2Discard it and dry the bowl very carefully. Make sure you keep in a separate bowl about 70ml of the hot water if you are preparing Usucha, or 40ml for Koicha.
3Measure ½ to 2 scoops of powder for Usucha and 3 to 4 scoops for Koicha. Add it to the bowl. Use a strainer to make sure it is as fine as can be.
4Pour hot water into the bowl. Whisk it rapidly to dissolve the powdered tea completely. Make sure the water temperature is still between 70ºC – 80ºC.
5Whisk it in "W" movements, if you wish to drink Usucha, until a thick froth with several bubbles emerges. If you prefer Koicha, try whisking it in circular movements to obtain a smoother mixture, with no froth, traditionally a bamboo whisk is used which helps suspend the matcha tea. Zen Green Tea.com.au shows the bamboo whisk.
6Drink it immediately. Savour the amazing green tea antioxidants flowing through your body.

The Ohio State University (OSU) announced on Jan. 13, 2013 the availability of a self-administered test to determine if a person is at risk for impaired cognitive functions. The test is called SAGE, which stands for Self-Administered Gerocognitive Examination.
OSU has released a report entitled SAGE Test Useful to Screen for Memory Disorders in Community Settings, Ohio State Study Shows. The report is being published in the January issue of The Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences.
There are four forms of this test, with each test form designed to provide the same results. The test was developed by a team of doctors from the Wexner Medical Center at The Ohio State University. The leader of the team is Dr. Douglas Scharre. Scharre is director of the Division of Cognitive Neurology and leads the Memory Disorders Research Center.
The test is designed to determine if an individual is showing early signs of dementia or Alzheimer's disease. The test has 12 questions, and can be printed out and completed in less than 15 minutes. Of the 1,047 individuals that took versions of SAGE, 28% were identified as being at risk for Alzheimer's disease, dementia or other significant cognitive disorders.
The test identifies subtle cognitive impairments that may not be obvious during routine physician visits or the daily interactions with family members. The test results have proven to significantly correlate with other clinical tests for dementia or Alzheimer's disease. The test is offered in English (US and NZ), Spanish and Italian.
You can download the test that is provided by Scharre and OSU's Wexner Medical Center to do your own self determination of your cognitive functions. This test provides data for review by a physician, if necessary.
Alzheimer's disease is a specific cognitive disease that currently does not have a cure. The patient care information provided by the Wexner Medical Center will help you understand the disease and treatment options to slow the progress of the disease.
The Memory Disorders Clinic at OSU is doing research on developing cures for Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and other memory disorders. Patients must be referred to the clinic by a physician, which can either be a primary care physician or a specialist in cognitive disorders.
Scharre says that early treatment is very important. Patients often wait four to five years from the time they become concerned until the seek treatment. This is valuable time lost in diagnosing the level of impairment and developing a treatment plan.
"Some five million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, and those numbers are expected to almost triple by 2050. An additional 3 to 22 percent of those over 60 years of age are thought to currently meet criteria for Mild Cognitive Impairment as well."
"What we found was that this SAGE self-administered test correlated very well with detailed cognitive testing," Scharre said. "If we catch this cognitive change really early, then we can start potential treatments much earlier than without having this test."
If you take one of the forms of SAGE and are concerned with the results, schedule an appointment with your primary health care provider. You can take your test results to the physician and together you can determine if you need to see a cognitive specialist. There are additional information sources on the effects of diet in the attached video and the articles suggested by the author.

I was wondering if anyone here sees an end to this ammo shortage we're seeing?
Printable View
I was wondering if anyone here sees an end to this ammo shortage we're seeing?
If the Republicans can take Congress in 2010 AND the current Congress doesn't pass any huge ammo tax or other such onerous legislation, then yes.
Sooner or later people will run out of room to store all the ammo - then and only then will it return to the gunshop shelves.
I think it will be over by Fall or maybe mid summer. There will be a time when the hoarders either run out of money or storage room for ammo.
In time they will realize that the sky has not fallen and is not falling.
Panic buying is the problem. Things will improve with time.
Sometimes I don't even want to know what I think. The run on ammo and arms will end eventually, but the reasons behind that are going to cast a shadow over everything that's happened thus far.
Economics and capitalism solve most problems given time. This problem too shall pass.
Its already improving. OUr local Wal-Marts, one in particular, has recieved thousand and thousands of rounds lately (just over the past four weeks).
Last week they received three thousand rounds of 9mm, they already had tons of .40sw, and last night they got 10,000 rounds of WWB .45acp. Ammo is appearing regularly at Wal-Mart here.
To the OP...I think it is going to be quite a while before the shelves are ever full again...if so, the prices will remain high...look how many guns have been sold, they're going to need ammo.
Buy now when you sees some you can afford. OMO
I check w/two different Walmarts several times a week. Talked at length with the "head honcho" behind the ammo counter. He said trucks normally arrive before midnight with new merchandise. Trucks are offloaded and shelves are normally stocked by 2 or 3 a.m. Told me the best time to check was sometime within hours after that. Soooooooo, this morning, got up with the wife, she headed to work at 6:30 and I headed to Walmart. Danged if they didn't have about 4000 rounds of Blazer 9mm 115gr FMJ. Not wanting to be the one to buy it all, I restrained myself and only bought 500 rounds. Did an inventory when I got home. Now have 400 rounds of 147gr WWB JHP and 1600 training rounds of 9mm. So now I'll just pick me up a couple of boxes here and there and add to it as I train down. :danceban:
I just received the first shipment of reloading equipment and supplies. I predict that the localized* ammunition shortage will end in one week.
*My house.
How are the prices?
Including shipping, about $0.22 per round for the first 1000 (.45 ACP). Re-using existing once-fired brass, Alliant Bullseye powder, 185 grain Hornady JFP's. I didn't order the least expensive of anything - but I did order a heck of a lot of it. :wink:
I don't know how long the brass will last, at some point I may need more. But I've got powder and bullets for around 10k loads.
The shortages will end soon after people stop telling hysterical tales of "the impending 500% ammo tax" and such. Until then, all ammo companies will do is produce product as fast as they can without making new capital investments. They know the buying frenzy is temporary and they cannot afford to spend millions of dollars on machines and employees that will become superfluous in a year.
There are an estimated 80M gun owners in the U.S. If just 1% of them (800k) respond to the hysteria by purchasing just 2,000 rounds of ammunition to "stockpile" you've got a sudden surge of 1.6 billion rounds in demand.
I think we will see some improvement by mid-summer. My greater fear, right now, is what Congress may do. They are already signalling a willingness to force universal healthcare down our throats without debate or consideration of any arguments against it. I am concerned that they will use similar parliamentary tricks to try to further limit our gun rights. If that happens, then all bets are off with regard to both price and availability.

The sight and sound of the South Breitenbush River along with older Douglas-fir and Western Hemlock forest settings accompany the hiker along this National Recreation Trail. This trail winds along the South Breitenbush River through Douglas-Fir, Western Hemlock Pacific Yew and Western Red Cedar forest. Trail has a few wind damaged timber stands, beautiful stream crossings and spectacular plant life.
A short scramble over wind blown logs will offer great views of the gorge but the hike from the trail can be treacherous. At the gorge river passes through a 300 foot long basalt narrows. Watch for difficult footing between the main trail and the Gorge viewpoint.
At Roaring Creek is the largest bridge of the trail, a picturesque log footbridge crosses Roaring Creek at a steep section of cascading water. Three other smaller bridges are located east of Roaring Creek.

White Samsung Galaxy S spotted. Nokia N8 to cost €499 in Spain
Available only in dark colors at the moment, the Samsung Galaxy S is apparently coming in white, too.
The Phone House seems to plan the launch of the white Galaxy S in Spain, where the smartphone will cost €499 (unlocked).
There's no word on when exactly the white version of the Galaxy S will be available, but it will probably happen before the official Android 2.2 Froyo update for it is released (September). Also, we'll likely see the new version in other European countries as well.
Android aside, The Phone House will offer the Nokia N8 in Spain (probably in September), for the same price as the white Galaxy S: €499. And yes, that is expensive – although I expect the price to be a tad lower at launch.

Muslims or people with Middle Eastern-sounding names have also been denied loans or have been required to provide unusual amounts of private information when setting up accounts. According to the American Bankers Association, all this is legal due to new, post 9/11 laws that allow financial institutions to shut down accounts at any time without explanation.

You know how the auto insurer raises your premium after an accident? Something similar is happening to mortgage fees. They're getting more expensive for a lot of people.
Many borrowers will be socked with a fee that amounts to $250 for every $100,000 borrowed, just because the mortgage market has gone so bad. Other customers will take bigger hits because their credit scores are lower than 680 and they're borrowing more than 70 percent of the home's value.
The fees will be tacked onto mortgages guaranteed by
Fannie Mae or
Freddie Mac,
the government-sponsored enterprises that help keep money circulating for home loans. The companies say they introduced the new charges
to compensate for the risks inherent in guaranteeing mortgages in an era when house prices are declining, delinquencies are rising and
mortgage investors are losing money.
"It's an ugly situation," says Jim Sahnger, a mortgage consultant for Palm Beach Financial Network in Stuart, Fla. "It's going to impact a lot of people."
Risk-based pricing arrives
A quarter-point fee will affect just about everyone who gets a conforming mortgage -- a home loan for $417,000 or less that's not considered subprime and is not insured by the Federal Housing Administration. Additional fees will affect borrowers who have credit scores below 680 and who will owe more than 70 percent of a home's value. Still others apply to anyone buying an investment property or getting a 40-year mortgage. The riskier the loan, the pricier the fees.
"We've been talking about risk-based pricing for years. It's here," says Bob Walters, chief economist for Quicken Loans.
The charges will be assessed on loans that are securitized after the end of February 2008. Because securitization takes time,
some lenders started levying the fees in November. Soon, all lenders will pass along the new fees,
either as closing costs or by charging higher interest rates.
Protect credit score
For consumers, the new charges come at an awkward time. Credit scores often take a dive during and after the holiday shopping season because people run up their credit card balances. Maxing out a store charge card could cause someone's credit score to dip below 680, subjecting the oblivious shopper to mortgage fees in the new year.
"For some of these people who are thinking they might want to refinance after the first of the year, they're going to go out and charge up all their holiday gifts and increase the balances on their charge cards, which will drive down their FICO scores," Sahnger says. He warns that some "could be potentially pushed out from qualifying," while others will find that it no longer makes sense to refinance.
He and other brokers suggest paying off holiday debts as quickly as possible in hopes of raising one's credit score.

With the V-2 development program already in crisis, the Allies launch a massive bombing raid against Peenemuende. On that evening test pilot Hanna Reitsch was visiting the launch site. At 23:30 the air raid siren sounded. 600 British bombers drop 1500 tonnes of ordnance on the launch centre. However many bombs fell in the ocean around the peninsula, or buried themselves harmlessly in sand dunes. The resident area was hardest hit, while the Luftwaffe station at Peenemuende West was not touched. 47 British bombers were shot down - they were told before the raid that this was the most important mission of the war, and that their commanders would accept a 50% loss rate. 735 people were killed in the raid on the ground, including 178 of the 4000 inhabitants of the residential area. A large number of the foreign slave workers in the Trassenheide concentration camp barracks were also killed.
After the tremendous raid the rocket team wander around the devastated facility, half-clothed, the buildings bathed in a weird light and everything covered in fine sand, as if flour was dropped over everything. Thiel and Walther - the two leading rocket engineers in Germany - were killed in the raid, and virtually all major facilities were damaged. The saving grace was that the soft sand of Peenemuende attenuated the blast of many bombs. Nine bombs hit the main assembly hall, but while there was splinter damage to some of the machine tools, there was no decisive hit that would prevent production from continuing. It was estimated that operations could resume in 4 to 6 weeks.
The raid was not unexpected. The high altitude contrails of the V-2 test launches were called 'frozen lightning' and could be seen from Sweden on clear days. The location and purpose of Peenemuende appeared in a crossword puzzle in a illustrated magazine published in central Germany in early 1943. British reconnaissance flights to locate the launch facilities had been recognised for what they were.
This raid, together with the bombing of V-2 production lines at the Zeppelinwerke in Friedrichshafen and the Raxwerke in Wiener Neustadt convinced Saur to reduce the V-2 production rate goal to 900 per month.
On Feb 7 at 16:28:01 GMT the EO-22 crew and American astronaut Linenger undocked the Soyuz TM-24 ferry from the front docking port, flew it around to the far side of the complex and redocked at the rear Kvant port at 16:51:27 GMT. This cleared the forward port for the arrival of the EO-23 crew, who brought with them German astronaut Reinhold Ewald on Feb 12.
Reason postponement: The data for the approach of Progress-M35 today transmitted by TsUP to the Progress-M35 turned out to be wrong and Progress-M35's OBC shut itself off. At deadline for this report the docking of Progress-M35 at Mir was (still) planned for 18.08 at 1257 UTC.
Soyuz-TM26: The redocking of this transport ship from the aft to the forward docking port took place on 15.08.97 between 13.29.20 and 14.13.04 UTC. At 1327 UTC, so just before separation, radio traffic from Soyuz-TM26 via Altair-2 could be heard. The safety clamps of the docking mechanism had been loosened and the program was proceeding according to plan. At 13.29.20 UTC Solovyov reported the separation and the fact that Soyuz-TM26 was slowly moving away from Mir. S. steered Soyuz-TM26 in the manual mode to be able to adjust the attitude of the ship in such a way that Vinogradov and Foale could make good images of the 'damage areas'.
At 13.29.51 UTC Altair-2 transmitted an image of the whole complex seen by a camera of the ship. At 13.35.59 UTC S. reported the proceedings of the flight. He asked Foale whether he already was doing his photo- and video work and asked him for instructions to adjust the ship's attitude for the best images. Communications via Altair-2 ceased at 13.42.58 UTC, but a few minutes later S. could be heard via 121.750 mc (1401-1409 UTC). 4 minutes later S. accomplished a perfect docking at the forward (P.Kh.O. - transition section) port of the complex.
Back on board Mir S. told TsUP that the images they had made were very good and certainly useful for analyses. In a conversation with Earth Foale told that they intended to transmit these images to TsUP on 18.08 and he was sure that TV stations all over the world would retransmit these. (The TV shots which already had been shown by TV stations came from short direct links with Russian tracking stations.)
Elektron: Already on the day of the return of the relieved crew Vinogradov succeeded in restoring the Elektron oxygen generator in Kvant-1. It was very difficult to reach the spot where he had to clean Elektron. A white-brown jelly-like substance had stopped up a pipe inside Elektron and had to be cleaned. After purging this pipe he was able to restart Elektron and after 1 orbit Solovyov reported that Elektron was working normally. As far as could be derived from radio traffic Elektron still does thus far.

Minister of Health makes statement on King Abdullah's recovery
February 25, 2011
Minister of Health Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah has assured the citizens of Saudi Arabia that the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz is in good health. Speaking to Saudi Television, Dr. Al-Rabeeah noted that the King will continue the rehabilitation program that he began late last year following back surgery in New York. "There is no doubt that the back surgery requires a non-stop rehabilitation program," he said. "But this does not prevent the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques from pursuing and following up on his works."

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Jenni Rivera death pictures following Sunday's plane crash prompted arrests this week. But as Jenni Rivera funeral aka entierro arrangements are pending, fans are worried that death pictures of Jenni could soon end up in tabloid publications the week of her memorial. Also this week, brother Lupillo Rivera told news that it was honor being Jenni's sister.
Mexican officials confirmed to news last week that Jenni Rivera death pictures were taken, not by outside news agencies, but by rogue Mexican police officers. Those same officers looted the crime scene, reportedly taking some of Jenni Rivera's belongings.

Yet others denounced the Mexican officials this week as well. Officials were slow to investigate the scandal pictures. On Monday, the images hit the net. But only until days later were the individuals responsible for the pictures of Jenni and the theft arrested.

And yet, fans are worried that the harm could be far from over. As the entierro de Jenni Rivera (burial) is set to occur this week, many are worried that the tasteless scandal pictures could soon be hitting tabloid publications. Earlier this year, a similar such horror erupted after images of Whitney Houston were taken and then republished in the National Enquirer. Years earlier, the same was done when OK! Magazine published on its cover a picture of Michael Jackson dead at UCLA Medical Center.

This week, Lupillo Rivera told news that it was honor being Jenni's brother. "A few days ago I promised my mother, my nephews, my father, my family and fans brought my sister back home …… and ….. Thank God …. I achieved with the help of my brothers Gustavo and Juan Rivera."

He thanked local officials. "I thank the Government of Mexico, Consulate of the United States Government, to my team Primetime for supporting my family ALL, friends who have been at my side." He also thanked "the media and the public all of my sister for their patience in these difficult times for us."
He then said in a tribute to his sister, sharing the above image, "Jenni ….. thanks for being in this world this time. Thank God for letting me be your brother. You're a proud Mexican and the World always loved you and will always be with me ….. I'll miss you."
Mexican officials confirm that the officers who stole Jenni's belongings and took the images of her remains have been arrested But officials have yet to indicate if they have taken any efforts to insure that the images are no republished in Mexican tabloids in the future.

Monday, March 24, 2014: Today promises to be demanding, hectic, but very productive. Just take care that you don't place unrealistic expectations on yourself and try to do too much. Keep it simple, address the changes that are necessary and make adjustments.
Be aware that stoic, edgy and sensitive is the prevailing mood today. So, think before you speak, watch how others react to what you're saying and be kind.
Keep in mind that words can heal and words can cut deep... your words and thoughts have physical power... every thought you think and word you speak is shaping the physical formation of what begins to appear in your life.
Today's Quote
There's always a little truth behind every, "Just kidding."A little curiosity behind every, "Just wondering."A little knowledge behind every, "I don't know."...And a little emotion behind every, "I don't care. ~ Unknown
Please note: The sky speaks to you if you will let it. Every day it delivers a message that each person hears in a uniquely different way. What do these daily self-help messages mean to you and your life? To find an astrologer or to find out more about Patricia ~ click here

I wrote to a friend today lamenting the fact that our fridge is filled largely with leftover grains. And some beer. It's like college, with farro and wheat berries replacing the cold pizza. I had grand visions, when Sam was on the train, that I'd try a few recipes I'd been cutting out of magazines and make proper meals for myself. There were to be the green chile enchiladas or the Moroccan braised chicken. Or even a simple homemade tomato sauce. Instead, I ate pudding. And pumpkin beer. The first night I thought it kind of novel and fun: look, it's like when I lived alone! The second night I admitted it to only Sam on the phone. The third night I thought there may be something wrong. So much for the enchiladas and braised chicken. So much for that tomato sauce. Clearly what I really wanted was some chocolate pudding.
I also had big plans to write a great deal of the narrative parts of the cookbook. Much like those enchiladas, that didn't really happen either. I haven't talked a whole lot here about the process of writing the cookbook quite yet. I think everytime I sit down to do it, I want to have a grand statement about it, or feel really joyful and proud. Neither one of those things has struck me yet. My friend Tara wrote a post about writing her first book this past week that struck a chord in so many ways. Yes, it feels like a blur. It feels scary. You feel like you don't know what you're doing … even though you really do. And deep down you know that. But it's hard to convince yourself of the fact. So instead, you eat pudding for dinner. Over and over. You buy mums to plant in your window box and they sit outside the front door for three weeks dying. You only read magazines at night, all of those good novels you once read a distant memory.
I will write a post about the book, certainly. A number of people have mentioned how they'd be interested in hearing about how I develop original recipes and how I continue to find inspiration with such a tight deadline. Many of you may remember Heidi's post on writing her cookbooks. The one thing I will say, right now, is that I reached out to people who knew more than me right off the bat. I've always done that, whether it had to do with Marge, or freelance writing, or traveling to a new city. I sit down and think about who I can ask. Who would know more? And people are almost always gracious and williing to share. I called Heidi a few months after signing with Ten Speed, knowing we shared a publisher. I wanted to know if she had any advice, I wanted to know if she thought I could do it in such a tight deadline. If you've ever met Heidi, you know she's most, most generous with information and advice. We talked about inspiration boards (see mine below). We talked about how I was organizing the whole thing wrong (it turns out one loooooonnnng word document isn't the best approach): Heidi advised me to start printing out all of the pages and actually compile them visually for myself. It's helped immensely.
My friends Emma and Sara have answered questions about photographers, recipe measurements, and have so sweetly responded to my midnight freak-outs. Anne has been awesome, as always. Shauna helped me conceive of a whole new way to organize the sections of the book. Molly advised me on publishing questions and Jess sent me sweet encouragement (and granola from Boston to try!). And then: You all! Thank you, as always, for being here. This book is happening largely because of you, my friends. Really. I feel so grateful.
My point? The book's not ready to be talked about fully quite yet. But there are so many people out there who have given so much already. My mom is recipe-testing her booty off. As are a smattering of you out there. And I'm trusting that it's all going to come together in the end. It's nose-down work, this writing business. It's not quite what I expected, really. It's harder. It's not just about me sitting happily in the kitchen meeting a deadline. There are meetings, design approaches, photography choices, book-size decisions. There are ingredients, and seasons and colors to consider. There are recipes you have to make seven times to get just right. There's pretending. And hoping. And finger-crossing.
Don't get me wrong: I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to write this book. It really is a whole new approach to breakfast, with sweet and savory whole-grain recipes that span busy weekdays to Sunday brunches. And it's going to make millet fans out of some of you just yet. You wait! But for now, I'll just say hello from Thursday morning. And isn't that Mumford and Sons album good? How about the new Avett Brothers? Do you have mulling spices in your cupboards yet? Falling leaves outside the door? Roasted a squash? Watching Parenthood (so good)? And, most importantly: does anyone have a good lead on cute lady oxfords? I'm in the market. Big time.
With oxfords behind us, it's time for pudding. We eat out every now and again, and I'm often trying dishes and thinking, I wish I had that recipe! But I rarely ask for it because it can be awkward. But almost a year ago now, when I was up here visiting Sam, we ate at Skillet Diner. Truthfully, we eat there more often than I care to admit these days. It's just such a solid spot for comfort food: fried chicken, meatloaf, biscuits, big salads, pie, cocktails … and pudding. They serve this Bittersweet Chocolate Pudding that I fell in love with the first time I tried it. It's served with Pie Brittle on the side, is a genius way to use up leftover pie dough scraps (sprinkle them with a little sugar and bake them off).
When I returned to the Bay Area then, I wrote to Skillet to ask for the recipe and to see if I could share it with you all here. At the time, I'd just written about Chocolate Pot de Cremes, so I didn't want to bombard you with chocolate pudding-like desserts. But I think it's about darn near time. The recipe came to me as most restaurant recipes do: It was two sentences long. So I've flushed it out for you a bit here. Not that pudding's tough, but there are a few things to know to make it great. While Skillet makes their version by "buzzing" it with an immersion blender at the end, I took the old fashioned whisk-and-stir-over-low-heat approach and find that it works much better. So that's how I've written it for you here.
The recipe really need little futzing, but I did end up decreasing the sugar, added a little vanilla, and love to sprinkle some flaky salt on top. I use natural cane sugar here (turbinado) because it's what we have on hand these days, but if you'd prefer to use white granulated sugar, it's not a problem. Green & Black were kind enough to send me a box of chocolate a few weeks back, and I chose the always wonderful 70% Dark bar for this pudding. The more I look at the recipe now, I realize it's actually a pretty standard chocolate pudding recipe. There are few bells and whistles. And maybe that's why it's been such a comfort lately. While I'm spending so much time thinking about flavor profiles and interesting seasonal ingredients for the cookbook, sometimes it's nice to have something simple and straightforward that takes few decisions and delivers everytime.

Tim Konkus, a co-owner of the marina at 302 Canal St., said the clothing drive began as a small word-of-mouth exchange to help a few local families, but is growing into a larger donation opportunity.
"From the response we've been getting, we're hoping to be able to pass out coats and other clothes to anyone who needs them," he said. "Our goal is help out the Delaware City, Port Penn and St. Georges areas, but hopefully we can extend it to the community at large."
Coats, snowsuits, snow pants, winter hats, gloves and scarves can be dropped off at the marina from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. up until Friday, Sept. 27.

This weekend is the annual spring consignment sale for POTATO, the Nashville area parents of multiples club. It's a great place to buy inexpensive clothes, toys, and baby gear by the twos or threes. If you're a parent to be who's still getting used to the idea of two or three new babies at once, it's also probably a great place to get some advice on coping. All the workers at the sale are parents of multiples too.
The sale is at Two Rivers Middle School in Nashville. Members shop Friday night starting at 7 PM, and it's open to the public Saturday morning from 8 till 11:30 AM, and they open back up from noon till 2 PM with half price offers on everything that's left.

Magenta and Turquoise Grad Party (15 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
I believe education is so important, even at a young age, which is why I was so delighted to be contacted to create a candy table for a Pre-K graduation party. In addition to being a honor student, the special grad, Taylor, received 8 awards at her graduation, so her parents were more than happy to reward her with a big graduation soiree.
Taylor along with her classmates, friends and family enjoyed a fun afternoon, filled with sweets and treats, facepainting, music, arts and crafts and lots of festivity. The party was a great success, and the kids absolutely loved the candy table we did! For decor, I went with a magenta, turquoise and white color scheme. I also created a tissue paper tassel garland and used mini graduation caps, min vases with flowers, and wrapped boxes as popcorn stands, which added pizazz to the table. The kids enjoyed an array of goodies to include: popcorn, cupcakes, jelly beans, candy sticks, frooties, chocolate coins, chocolate coated candies and lollipops.

St. Augustine, Florida has been a popular city to visit. Some travel to this historic city in search of the Fountain of Youth. For the history fans, this city is more than a quest for longevity. St. Augustine is the oldest continually habituated city in North American and is brimming with important milestones. Now visitors can learn the city's place in African American history in the exhibit, The Journey: 450 Years of the African-American Experience.
Historian, teacher, and playwright James Bullock shares St. Augustine's role in African American history. Throughout this special exhibit, visitors can understand the culture and heritage that the first legally sanctioned free African American town oldest city brings to the community.
African-American heritage in the United States begins 450 years ago when blacks, both free and enslaved, were among the 800 colonists who established the St. Augustine settlement under the leadership of Spanish explorer Admiral Pedro Menendez de Aviles. From St. Augustine's earliest days through the turbulent 1960s, African-Americans have played key roles in the development of both the city and nation. This vital contribution by people of color is well-documented, but not well-known. That is about to change.
Journey: 450 Years of the African-American Experience tells the fascinating story of blacks who helped settle the nation with original documents and artifacts, interviews, photos, art and more. The Journey exhibition is designed for cultural and heritage visitors interested in the full history of America and its beginnings and comprises four themes: Genesis of the African-American Experience; Fortress of Freedom; Breaking the Chains; and Crossroads of Change.
A few interesting facts in this exhibit include:
- African-American heritage in the US begins in 1565 when blacks, both free and enslaved, were among the 800 colonists who established St. Augustine.
- Africans were among the explorers and soldiers who first discovered Florida, sailing with Ponce de Leon and Pedro Menendez – not as slaves, but as soldiers in the service of Spain.
- In 1738, slaves fleeing from the British were granted their freedom by the Spanish who occupied St. Augustine, Florida.
- Fort Mose has also been recognized as one of the original sites on the southern route of the Underground Railroad.
- On June 9, 1964, Civil Rights movement leader Martin Luther King was arrested in St. Augustine during a protest for human rights.
The Journey: 450 Years of the African-American Experience is located inside the St Augustine Visitors Information Center and runs through July 15. The exhibit is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets are $5 for adults; $4 for seniors; $3 for youth 7-12; under 7 free. For more information, please visit www.Journey2014.com.

LOS ANGELES - An energized resistance to ongoing attacks on education was on display at this year's American Federation of Teachers national convention here, July 11-14. Under the theme of "Reclaiming the Promise of Public Education," speakers and more than 3,500 delegates pledged to rebuff attacks by corporate forces on teachers, while also vowing to bring back equity in higher education for students and faculty.
Keynote speaker Rev. Dr. William Barber, founder of North Carolina's "Moral Mondays," sounded the charge in support of public education and teachers. Addressing the convention for 40 minutes, Barber developed the theme that supporting education means fighting for civil rights and helping to end racism and class oppression. "Every time we fail to educate a child on the front end of life, it costs us on the back side of life," he said. "Every time those in our nation attack teachers and undermine public education, it rips not only the nation's economy, it rips at the very integrity of who we are."
Political strategist Donna Brazile, self-described in her address as a "labor Democrat," teaches at Georgetown University and is presently organizing her fellow part-time faculty adjuncts into a union.
Brazile described the recent Vergara v. California decision as "perverse," in its ruling that teacher tenure violates the civil rights of children. Social and economic inequality are the result of bad policies that have resulted in 22% of children living today under the federal poverty line, Brazile reported.
"As a lifelong Democrat I am ashamed by attempts by some within in my own party ... who are trying to undermine public schools under the guise of reform," Brazile said. "Let me state this bluntly: the assault on public education is an assault on the principles of democracy and the foundation of our country."
Brazile introduced Democrats for Public Education, a new organization to counter Democrats for Education Reform and other billionaire-funded organizations that pour money into charters and laws rolling back union protections. Former Gov. Ted Strickland of Ohio and former Gov. Jennifer Granholm of Michigan will be working in partnership with Brazile in the new organization.
Tom Torlakson, California's Superintendent of Education, highlighted the progressive role of the California Federation of Teachers in crafting a bill in response to the crisis of education cuts, sending Proposition 30, a measure that would raise taxes on the wealthy, to the polls and winning.
Citing the adage "No good deed goes unpunished", Torlakson decried the attempts to roll back teacher protections in California by corporate interests via the Vergara v. California decision. Torlakson, facing an election year challenge from a former Wall Street trader turned charter school CEO, contrasted his own approach to doing work in education policy, bolstered by experience as a classroom teacher of many years. "I'm proud to take the teacher's approach into all of my work," he told the AFT delegates.
In the sphere of higher education, this year's convention featured the first-ever meeting of the Adjunct Caucus, a body created by adjunct activist William Lipkin and other part-time faculty, to address the lack of equity for part-time college and university instructors.
As part of the promise to reclaim quality public education, the AFT has also created a web resource addressing the challenges of contingent labor, connecting the need to end the exploitation of part-time instructors with the need to curb rising tuition costs that limit educational opportunities for students. The AFT has been conducting its own surveys of contingent faculty and creating a campaign to raise awareness of the negative effects of the over-reliance on part-timers on higher education and teachers.
Part-time faculty often have no access to benefits like health coverage. In response, the AFT has partnered with the Freelancer's Union to offer a health plan to adjunct faculty, including part-timers who are not part of the AFT. The program is slated to open for applications for the fall enrollment period.

Volume II, Issue 13
Jackson, MS-Dorothy Norwood, known to gospel music fans as The Worlds Greatest Storyteller, has been nominated for the prestigious Soul Train Lady of Soul Award in the Best Gospel Album category for her latest release, Stand On The Word. This makes her second Soul Train nomination, the first was for The Lord is a Wonder, in 2000. The Soul Train Awards will be televised during the September 17-25 window according to the show's producer, Don Cornelius. Headliners for the evening include Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Toni Braxton, Ciara, Amerie, and Brian McKnight.
Norwood, who began singing at the age of eight, touring and performing with a family group, later went on to sing with Mahalia Jackson, The Caravans, and Reverend James Cleveland. Her solo career launched in 1964 with Johnny and Jesus, which earned a gold record. Her debut was followed by Denied Mother, which also climbed the charts and went gold. In 1972, she was invited by Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones to open for their 30 state American tour, which she did, touching the lives of many who would not ordinarily have been influenced by her music.
During her career, she has traveled all over the world achieving legendary status and winning awards and nominations in every corner of the industry from Billboard, Grammy, Stellar, Soul Train and others.
Her current single, Holy Spirit, Featuring LaShun Pace is receiving spins and rave reviews from DJs across the country, but Norwood is not one to rest on her laurels. She lives to serve the public on a personal as well as musical basis and strives to make each release better than the last, never keeping her eye off the future and her purpose in God.
In 1970, Don Cornelius launched the first Soul Train television program, beginning a legacy of premium entertainment representing the Black American culture through Hip-Hop, Jazz, Pop, Rap, and even Gospel music. With perseverance, Cornelius found sponsorship and acquired syndication that would eventually make Soul Train available in 85% of U.S. television-viewing households today.
When Soul Train launched the Soul Train Awards in 1987, Malaco artists were some of the first to be on board. Performing at the inaugural award ceremony were The Williams Brothers, with James Cleveland counted among one of the presenters.
In 1994, The Mississippi Mass Choir claimed the Best Gospel Album Award for It Remains To Be Seen, their runaway hit on the Gospel Charts, and in 2000, Dorothy Norwood was nominated for The Lord is a Wonder in the same category. The choir was also nominated in 2001 for its release, Emmanuel, God With Us, and in 2002, Doug and Melvin Williams were honored with a nomination for their hit CD, Duets.
Soul Train began, in 1995, to honor the accomplishments of women in the industry with the Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards and again, Malaco artists led the way with winner La Shun Pace in 1997 for A Wealthy Place (Best Gospel Album) and Pace again as a nominee in 2002 for God is Faithful. In 2003, Dottie Peoples was nominated for Churchin with Dottie, which is now available through Malaco due to its recent acquisition of Air Records.
Lou Rawls, who signed a gospel recording contract with Malaco several years ago has performed on the Soul Train Christmas Special and this year, Malaco salutes Dorothy Norwood who is nominated for the Lady of Soul Award, 2005.

Volume I, Issue 4 August 5, 2005
Jackson, MS. As one can see by studying the Billboard Charts, Little Milton has been making history since long before there was a chart in place for blues music. In the early days, black artists were contained on the same chart, Black Music. During the civil rights movement in the mid sixties, Little Milton struck a nerve with many when he released Were Gonna Make It and the album and single of the same name were both favorites, crossing over to the Pop Charts as well.
With a career that spanned five decades, Little Milton paved the way for many other artists to follow, setting an example of expert craftsmanship not only as a guitar-player, but as a performer. He was loved by many and sought after for inclusion on sixty-three blues albums, many collections, tributes to Van Morrison and Bruce Springsteen, and appearing on labels such as: Stax Records, Sun Records, Time Life, Checker, Malaco, PBS, House of Blues, Universal, Rhino, Telarc, MCA/Chess and others.
He recorded over thirty-three solo albums, playing the role of producer on many of them. His credits are too numerous too mention, but for this Blues Hall of Famer, Grammy nominee, recipient of the W.C. Handy Award for Blues Entertainer of the Year, and son of a sharecropper, he lived a full life, traveled all over the world, and will be missed by everyone whos lives he touched with his music and his person. Little Milton, son of Big Milton, has certainly filled his fathers shoes in more ways than one.

Jackson, MS. As forerunners in gospel music for more than forty years, The Williams Brothers have never slowed their pace, constantly looking at new ways to bring gospel music into the marketplace and, ultimately, into the hearts and lives of others.
Throughout their career, they have been recognized for their commitment to excellence and for their popularity with awards and nominations in every category and every aspect of the industry including: nineteen top ten albums (Billboard, Cashbox), three number one records and three Grammy nominations, Dove nominations and many Stellar Awards. Categories of awards have included: Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Traditional Group of the Year, Best Performance, and Best Soul Gospel Album.
It would not be possible to rise to the forefront of an industry that is dedicated to excellence in sound if their engineer was not up to the task and it is now, after forty years of engineering and helping to produce every album the group has put out (not to mention albums for others), that Randy Everett steps out on his own. Everett, showcasing his talent for guitar-playing and arranging, has selected some of the choicest songs written by The Williams Brothers, creating a soulful instrumental album of classic gospel music entitled The Jazz Album.
Tracks included on the album are well known to gospel music lovers, signature songs for the group and standards in the market. These songs are: Still Here, Cooling Water, In The Midst Of The Storm, After The Storm, Til He Comes Back, Helpless And Hopeless, Same Ol Story,, Allow Me, Above All Others, Never Seen Your Face, Another time, Another Place, Never Seen Your Face (Piano Version).
The Williams Brothers have performed in many venues in the United States, not the least of which was Madison Square Garden. Other venues include: Cobo Hall, Radio City Music Hall, The Apollo Theatre, Disneyland, Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Grand Ol Opry, Carnegie Hall, and both the Paramount and Fox Theatres.
They have also shared the stage with legendary acts such as The Mighty Clouds of Joy, Luther Vandross, Shirley Caesar, Andre Crouch, The Clark Sisters, Amy Grant, James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, BeBe & CeCe Winans, Kirk Franklin, and Johnny Taylor to name a few.
It is common to find them on the Billboard charts long after an albums release as is evidenced on this weeks Billboard Chart with their Release Still Here, which has made its home there for 85 weeks.

Bluesman Little Milton Dies Following Stroke
Jackson, MS. August 4, 2005-Bluesman Little Milton, nee James Milton Campbell, passed away this morning, August 4. The 71-year old Blues Hall of Fame, W.C. Handy Award winning and Grammy nominated guitarist never awoke from a coma following a stroke he suffered on July 27.
Born in the Mississippi Delta near Inverness, Mississippi on September 7, 1934, Little Milton spent more than five decades in the industry. Often compared to B.B. King, he developed his own unique sound by fusing early country & western music and the Mississippi Delta gospel and blues. Though acclaimed in blues circles, Campbell never achieved the fame of King; nevertheless, his nearly constant touring took him all over the world.
Little Milton became an accomplished musician by the time he was a teenager, playing by ear and learning from his father "Big" Milton. Campbell was discovered by Ike Turner and recorded his first hit for Sun Records at age 18. He signed with Bobbin Records in East St. Louis and recorded "I'm A Lonely Man" and "That Will Never Do" and went on to record the 1965 hit "We're Gonna Make It" for Chess Records. Campbell recorded "Little Bluebird" for Stax Records in 1971 and scored other hits including "Grits Ain't Groceries" and "If Walls Could Talk."
In 1984, Little Milton signed with Malaco Records. This marked the beginning of his longest professional association, as well as the beginning of the last chapter in his illustrious career. He became one of the label's biggest selling artists and earned the distinction of being inducted to the Blues Hall of Fame, winning the W.C. Handy Blues Entertainer of the Year award in 1988 and being nominated for a Grammy Award in 2000. During his tenure with Malaco he released fourteen albums that included the hits "Annie Mae's Cafe", "Cheatin' Habit" and his anthem to the music he loved "Blues Is Alright." Most importantly, Little Milton will be remembered for his contributions to this genre of music and the education thereof.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that contributions be made to St. Jude Childrens Hospital, in memory of Little Milton. Send the donations to: Memorial and Honor Program, St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105, or call: 1-800-873-6983. Downloadable donation forms should accompany the mail-in donations and are available on-line at: http://www.stjude.org/tribute.

Bluesman 'Little' Milton Dies After Stroke
Blues singer, songwriter and guitarist "Little" Milton Campbell, whose gritty vocals and songwriting recalled B.B. King's rough-edged style, died today (Aug. 4) from a stroke, his record company said.
The 71-year-old Grammy-nominated guitarist and singer known for writing and recording the blues anthem "The Blues Is Alright" never awoke from a coma following a stroke he suffered on July 27 in Memphis, said Valarie Kashimura of The Malaco Music Group.Born to sharecropping farmers near the Mississippi Delta town of Inverness -- his father, "Big" Milton Campbell, was a local blues musician -- "Little" Milton picked up a guitar at age 12 and recorded his first hit for Sam Phillips' Sun Records at age 18. Discovered by blues-rock pioneer Ike Turner, Campbell went on to score dozens of rhythm and blues hits and was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1988.Though acclaimed in blues circles, Campbell never achieved the fame of King and some other American bluesmen. Nevertheless, his nearly constant touring took him all over the world. After signing with Bobbin Records in East St. Louis, Illinois, Campbell recorded "I'm a Lonely Man" and "That Will Never Do." A long association with Chicago's Chess Records produced the 1965 hit "We're Gonna Make It," which coincided with the civil rights movement. Other hits included "Baby I Love You," "If Walls Could Talk," "Feel So Bad," "Who's Cheating Who?" and "Grits Ain't Groceries." "Annie Mae's Cafe" and "Little Bluebird" were hits he recorded with Memphis' Stax Records, which he joined in 1971 before the label's demise.

On last night's episode of "Way Out West," fans already are familiar with the antics of the three families from Idaho who run rival outfitting businesses; the Youren, Bullock and Korell families. They are sure to give you a few laughs as they do their thing in the wilderness, while competing against each other as their families have done for over a century.
The episode begins with the Bullocks getting a group of guys from Southern California who want to go bear hunting. Only problem, they have never gone hunting before. Trent considers them city slickers, which is not far from the truth. They took about fifteen selfies before the first hour. One look at these guys, wearing flip-flops and nothing resembling camping gear, and one can tell that they are not camping material. The Bullocks bring the Yourens in to help with the group.
Chris Korell's son Lafe has decided he does not want to be tattooed, he wants to be branded, just like a cow on his chest. His mother Randi has to find out if it is legal before giving the final approval. Unfortunately, it is legal; but she does not want him to do this, ever.
Randi finally gives her approval, and the branding is scheduled that night when his Uncle Cody comes over. Lafe bites on a stick as his father holds him and lets Cody do the deed. As it is applied, he lets out a howl, but once it is done, he is standing tall and all the family walks back to the house, probably to find some burn ointment on this episode of "Way Out West."

I think Southern France expereinces one week of winter per year and - it's here! This morning I woke up to a light, damp snow and quickly wrapped the camera up in a plastic bag and headed out to take photos.
I figured I should seize the day because this could be the only snow of 2012! I explored the deep center of my village - where most of the buildings are eerily abandoned. Shutters open, gaping holes in thick stone walls, the electrical lines indicating these houses have not been used in decades. Some houses you can peer inside and see light fixtures still hanging in a living room. It's fantastic!
I wish I could go in the buildings, but they are barracaded like Fort Knox, so I will remain peering through the bars wondering what the city was like when people inhabited the heart of Marignane.

Salmonellosis is one of the most important foodborne diseases and a major threat to public health. Salmonella serotype Virchow ranks among the top five serovars in Europe.
A total of 153 strains isolated from different patients from 2004 through 2009 in Switzerland were further characterized by (i) assessing phenotypic antibiotic resistance profiles using the disk diffusion method and (ii) by genotyping using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) after macrorestriction with XbaI in order to evaluate strain relationship.
The relative frequency of S. Virchow among other Salmonella serovars varied between 4th to 8th rank. The annual incidence ranged from 0.45/100'000 in 2004 to 0.40/100'000 in 2009. A total of 48 strains (32%) were resistant to one to 3 antimicrobials, 54 strains (36%) displayed resistance patterns to more than three antibiotics. No trend was identifiable over the years 2004 to 2009. We found a high prevalence (62%) of nalidixic acid resistant strains, suggesting an equally high rate of decreased fluoroqionolone susceptibility, whereas intermediate resistance to ciprofloxacin was negligible. Two strains were extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producers. Analysis of PFGE patterns uncovered a predominant cluster (similarity coefficient above 80%) consisting of 104 of the 153 strains.
The worldwide increase of antibiotic resistances in Salmonella is an emerging public health problem. For Switzerland, no clear trend is identifiable over the years 2004 to 2009 for S. Virchow. Antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance profiles varied considerably within this period. Nevertheless, the situation in Switzerland coincided with findings in other European countries. Genotyping results of this strain collection revealed no evidence for an undetected outbreak within this time period.

Commission on Diversity
Message from the Co-Chairs
San Jose State has a long tradition of supporting and celebrating diversity and inclusiveness throughout our campus community. As co-Chairs for the President's Commission on Diversity, we are honored and pleased to have the opportunity to lead the university's efforts to expand and enrich this campus legacy. Academic Affairs and Student Affairs are partnering to lead this commission because we are committed to ensuring an environment of inclusiveness for all students, faculty and staff members as well as the broader community.
As the Commission begins its second year of work at San Jose State, the university remains committed to building an Office of Diversity. We are pleased to share that a Title IX coordinator, Diana Harris Epps, joined the campus this fall. We continue the national search for a vice president and chief diversity officer. Updates on the search will be available on the president's website.
We are also pleased to continue our support of the African American Student Success Task Force and the Chicano/Latino Student Success Task Force. These efforts include students, faculty and staff who offer guidance on how we can provide resources and support to underrepresented minorities to achieve their educational goals. More importantly, these groups help us understand better ways to create a diverse and inclusive environment that makes all of our students feel welcome and connected to the campus community.
We want to acknowledge the groups that have done and continue to do excellent work to help meet our mission of creating a more diverse and inclusive community: the Campus Climate Committee, the Unity Council, the Faculty Diversity Committee, and numerous other student, faculty and staff organizations that contribute significantly to the campus and help our vibrant campus succeed.

A United Airline's evacuation slide deployed midflight on Sunday, inflating, not outside the plane, but inside of the cabin and freaking out passengers. The chute completely filled up the front galley of the aircraft, blocking entrance to the cockpit and bathrooms.
The United Airlines plane was making a run from Chicago to Southern California, but was forced to make an emergency landing in Kansas. No one was hurt, largely because the galley was absent of any passengers or flight attendants when the inflatable slide exploded open.
The Associated Press reported that 58-year-old Mike Schroeder, who snapped a picture of the inflated slide, "heard a hiss and pop. Schroeder said he turned around and saw the plane's evacuation slide starting to inflate. The slide – which would normally inflate outside the plane during an emergency – filled the galley."
"I thought to myself, 'I hope there is no one in the restroom because if they are they're not coming out for a long time,'" Schroeder joked.
Indeed, it was straight out of a movie. A hapless passerby touches something, ever so slightly, and they are blown back by a rapidly blown-up inflatable.
(Sort of like this!)
United Airlines officials said 96 passengers were on board Flight 1463 and no one was injured.
Schroeder said the lights also flickered on and off for a bit, and that some of televisions showing the in-plane movie stopped working.
The AP rounds out the story:
The pilot announced that the plane had not lost cabin pressure and that he was looking for a place to land; a couple of minutes later the pilot said they would be landing at Wichita's Mid-Continent Airport. The plane went into what Schroeder described as "a steep decline," but the landing was uneventful. The plane was escorted to the terminal by a fire truck.
United Airlines said all passengers will receive a $300 credit.

We need to add two snippets of code, one right below the opening body tag, and the other right before the closing body tag. What is the best way to do this? I checked out the wp_enqueue_script, but it appears the content would be in the head section.
Did you even open
And likewise for the footer. So...
You can use a plugin such as this to show all of the Genesis hooks: http://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-visual-hook-guide/. This will allow you to quickly find the right hook to modify to do this. Then modify the hook in the functions file. You can also use a plugin which allows you to easily modify hooks through the wp-admin: http://www.studiopress.com/plugins/simple-hooks
You were on the right track.
Here is the reference on codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script
Structural Action Hooks
genesis_before: This hook executes immediately after the opening tag in the document source.
You can add the script to the Genesis > Theme Settings > Header and Footer scripts and enter your script you would like output to wp_footer().
The wp_footer() hook executes immediately before the closing tag in the document source.

Whatever kitty wants, kitty gets.
Whether you're home or not, you can keep your feline happy when you're away with a DeliDome, which automatically dispenses snacks at two- or four-hour intervals.
The deluxe model announces the feeding with a recording of your own voice, while the standard model sounds a dinner bell. Either way, the treats come rolling out inside hollow balls, which have small openings on the side. As kitty plays with the ball, the treats trickle out of the opening.
"By dispensing the food at timed intervals and allowing the owner to control the portion in each Play-N-Treat ball, the DeliDome fights obesity," the manufacturer says.
The standard model is sold by the Silvo Home catalog for $46.94, including shipping and handling. Call (800) 331-1261. The deluxe model is sold by the Hammacher-Schlemmer catalog. It costs $56.90, including shipping and handling. Call (800) 543-3366 and ask for the cat treat dispenser, item no. 60850. For more information on the DeliDome, go to

Brees vs. Brady vs. Rodgers vs. Marino
Preview: NFL Divisional Playoffs
In today's pass-first NFL, three first-rate passers play this weekend: Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Tom Brady. (Sorry, Eli, Alex, Tim, et al.) But which one is the best — and are any of their performances better than Dan Marino's in 1984?
That Marino season wasn't necessarily the best by a quarterback in league history, but it was near the top. And it is a worthwhile reference point because Brees and Brady blew past Marino's single-season passing-yardage record of 5,084, by 392 and 151 yards, respectively. But Marino was playing in a different time, when not all of today's passer-friendly rules were in place. And the stats of his contemporaries reflect that: Marino outshone the NFL, circa 1984, more than any of this year's top quarterbacks rise above today's NFL norm.
Several advanced stats are available for sorting among QBs today, but none go back far enough to cover Marino's record-breaking year. So more conventional stats will have to do. And by those, he was more of an outlier than Brees and Brady were this season. He threw for 54% more yards than the average team did in 1984; Brees, the most prolific of this year's group, exceeded 2011′s much higher league-average yardage by 49%. Marino more than doubled the league average for passing TDs, with 48, while Brees had slightly less than twice the league average this year. And his QB rating was 49% better than league average in 1984, while Rodgers, who set a single-season record for rating, was just 48% better than league average.
But in other respects, Rodgers topped Marino. He beat the league average for yards per attempt by 28%, compared to 27% for Marino. His percentage of passes that were touchdowns was more than double the league average — Marino was 98% above league-average — while he was intercepted 59% less often than the typical NFL passer this year, compared to 27% less often for Marino.
In one respect, though, Marino still tops all of today's stars. His adjusted net yards gained per pass attempt — a stat at Pro Football Reference that is available for Marino's era and accounts for TDs, INTs and sacks — was 78% better than league average. Rodgers, the best of this year's bunch, was just 59% better than today's league average. Marino's edge comes from something that isn't incorporated into passer rating, and is often overlooked as a QB stat: His knack for avoiding sacks. Marino was sacked just 2.3% of the time he dropped back to pass in 1984, best in the league. Rodgers was sacked 6.7% of the time this year, more than Brees or Brady. Marino led the league with the lowest sack percentage among QBs in each of his first seven seasons in the NFL, and 10 times overall.
Despite Rodgers's continued difficulty eluding pass rushers, he ranks ahead of Brady and Brees in most respects, including adjusted net yards gained per pass attempt — and might be competitive with them in yardage, considering what his backup did when given the start so Rodgers could rest in the season finale. He also tops them in Football Outsiders' Defense-adjusted Value Over Average, Advanced NFL Stats' Expected Points Added Per Play and ESPN's Total Quarterback Rating, or QBR — all of which take into account game situations and are generally more refined than mere yardage. These numbers may be useful for comparing the three QBs to the elite passers of 2038 who rack up 10,000-yard seasons — unless a whole new wave of stats have replaced them by then.

For years, no love was lost between Frank Miller and the movie business.
Of course, it wasn't always like that, especially when Hollywood approached the acclaimed comic book writer to pen the second and third installments of the Robocop franchise. Miller leapt at the chance. He had achieved huge success in the comic world redefining Batman and Daredevil, so this seemed like a logical transition.
Things didn't go as planned.
"I made the mistake of trying to be a screenwriter," explains Miller, "which is much like being a fire hydrant with a bunch of dogs lined up around it."
So Miller returned to print, churned out classics like Sin City and 300 and blatantly refused to sell the film rights. Then Robert Rodriguez (El Mariachi, Spy Kids) came along and begged Miller to make a Sin City movie. Not only did he promise to remain faithful to Miller's vision, he made him an offer he couldn't refuse -- he'd share the director's chair.
Romance bloomed anew. "Robert Rodriguez introduced me to directing," Miller says, "and I fell in love with moviemaking."
Now it's Miller's turn to pay celluloid tribute to a comic book legend with the Christmas release of The Spirit, based on Will Eisner's long-running comic book series. The writer-director took a few minutes to talk with the Writers Guild of America West Web site about how he went about adapting such a classic character, as well as why actors rule and why the world needs Batman.
How does your creative process differ between comic book writing and screenwriting?
Robert Rodriguez taught me when we did Sin City that all the same principles apply. A good story is a good story. A good plot is a good plot. A good character is a good character. The difference I see is that movies take a lot more pictures than comic books do.
So when you're writing for an actor, as opposed to a panel of a book, do you write differently?
I like to write for the actor as much as possible. When I found out that Sam Jackson was willing to play The Octopus, I wrote the entire part for him. When I wrote Commissioner Dolan and I realized Dan Lauria was playing him, I took all his nice lines and left him really rough and tumble and mean because you can't look at Dan Lauria's face and not fall in love. When I first got Scarlett Johansson I wrote the entire part for her because I realized that she was an amazing comedian. It was very much like working with a young Lucille Ball.
So it's really a collaboration with the actor.
I'm really an actor's guy. I really love 'em.
Do you find any restrictions writing for the screen that you didn't have in comics?
Oh yes, there are restrictions. You have to always be aware, at least, that if you throw in the wrong word at the wrong moment, the rating board's going to descend on you like a pack of vultures.
Considering the incredibly distinct voice you have, how did you negotiate that with the incredibly distinct voice Will Eisner had with The Spirit?
I used my own voice. I refracted his and respected his, but I don't think he would have respected me if I had imitated him.
I know that your own relationship with Hollywood was rocky at first. With this in mind, was being the custodian of Will Eisner's vision a source of stress for you?
If he had ever considered me a custodian, he would have taken my broom and hit me over the head with it a thousand times. I was taking his work and interpreting it.
You two were close before he passed away. Did you ever discuss the idea of making a movie based on The Spirit?
Only briefly and all he said was that he hoped The Spirit wouldn't hold a gun.
That's it?
That was it.
The Spirit's dialogue and narration was a sort of hardboiled poetry, as opposed to being naturalistic. What that what you had in mind?
Yes. I believe The Spirit was done during Will Eisner's romantic period. Since I'm a romantic, I naturally lent myself to that.
You never see the Octopus in the book, yet you see plenty of him in the movie. What was the creative process in converting the character like that?
Well, I immediately saw Sam Jackson as the Octopus and he saw himself as the Octopus too, so we got along right off the bat. The Spirit needed a Grand Guignol villain, a big villain to match his energy.
You have a vigilante, anti-authority theme that shows up in pretty much everything you've ever written. Is that something you seek to do, or does it just come out of you?
It's who I am.
So you're just drawn to those characters.
I don't believe you can have good without evil, virtue without sin, so for there to be heroes, there has to be a world that needs them. Why would we have a Batman who throws people through windows if we didn't have a pretty awful world to need him?
