For the week of
August 14, 2009

Reaction of the Week
RALEIGH — North Carolina's government mandates
for renewable energy and energy efficiency will likely cost the state
3,600 jobs and $1.8 billion in higher electricity rates, while slashing
the state's economy by more than $140 million a year by 2021. That's
according to a new report from a Boston-based economic research team.
Losses could be four times as high if the state scraps caps designed to
limit the impact on consumers, according to Beacon Hill Institute
"This new Beacon Hill Institute report spells out in stark detail the
kind of negative impact we've predicted ever since the General Assembly
first started discussing the energy mandates spelled out in Senate Bill
3," said Daren Bakst, John Locke Foundation Legal and Regulatory Policy
Analyst. "Supporters pushed this legislation as a tool to fight the
uncertain impacts of global climate change. Some supporters even claim
S.B. 3 will create jobs for North Carolina. Now we see with much more
certainty that this tool is set to inflict plenty of damage on its own,
including thousands of job losses."
Approved in 2007, S.B. 3 establishes North Carolina's Renewable and
Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard. It requires the state's electric
utility companies to generate a percentage of electricity from new
renewable resources such as solar, wind, and biomass. It also requires
new energy-efficiency measures.
Together, renewable sources and increased efficiency would account for
3 percent of North Carolina electricity generation by 2012 and 12.5
percent by 2021.
CJ: Retirees grill Price on health care overhaulRALEIGH – There was no shouting or shoving, but residents of a ritzy
retirement community in north Raleigh still had stern words yesterday
for North Carolina Rep. David Price during a private
question-and-answer session on President Obama's plan to overhaul the
nation's health-care system.
CJ: Market crash pinches state pensionsRALEIGH — North Carolina has been among a handful of states to fund its pension program fully for public school teachers and state workers in recent years, but it will have to pay millions more this year and for years to come because of the recession and the downturn in financial markets.
General Assembly adjournsRALEIGH — The General Assembly closed Tuesday after more than six
months of work dominated by the recession, a tight state budget and tax
increases. Lawmakers spent most of their energy balancing service cuts
against tax increases in one of the worst recessions in generations.
The tough economic times didn't stop lawmakers from banning cigarette
smoke from restaurants and bars, extending tax breaks to Apple Inc. and
other businesses.
Lawmakers leave bills on next year's to-do listRALEIGH — For emergency room nurse Terry Shook, his home is his castle. Anyone who kicks down his door to get inside ought to expect to be carried out again in a stretcher. That's why he has urged the General Assembly to pass legislation making state law on deadly force crystal clear with the doctrine that unlawful and forcible entry into a home allows the resident to shoot without fear of potential prosecution.
Easley's ex in-law may lose her jobRALEIGH — The former sister-in-law of former Gov. Mike Easley could soon be out of her state job. Judy Easley, who was married to the former governor's brother and has remained close to the Easley family, said in an interview that she has been notified by letter that her position could be cut by the end of the month. "According to the letter, it's in response to the budget crisis," she said.

Welcome to the Unity Diabetes Online Community! I'm Colleen Gladstone, a certified diabetes educator from Unity Diabetes & Endocrinology Services, and I'll be hosting today's chat. I'm glad you could join us this evening. We have two special guests with us tonight in honor of Heart Health Month: Dr. Joan Thomas, Chief of Cardiology, Unity Health System and Marc Natale, Executive Director, Rochester chapter of the American Health Association.
We're excited to answer all of your diabetes questions. We're excited to answer all of your diabetes questions. We are excited to answer all of your diabetes questions.
Before we get started let me just tell you how we'll address your questions and comments today. We answer questions one at a time, in the order that they are posted to the site, and there might be a slight delay as we respond to each question. It may take a few minutes for us to type answers to your questions, so please stay logged-in to the chat to see our response, even if it takes a few minutes. And you might need to refresh every few minutes to keep up with the latest posts in the chat if you switch to another application on your computer. Let's get started.
Dr Thomas, can you explain why people with diabetes are at higher risk of heart disease?
Is there a time of day that's best to check your blood pressure?
Dr. Thomas@Unity:
Diabetes affects blood vessels of the cardiovascular system and can cause inflammation of the arteries making them vulnerable to plaque and blockage formation.
Dr. Thomas@Unity:
If you take medication, I would vary the times so that you check it early in AM before you take your medications and then later in the day to see if they have improved your blood pressure.
Jgpratt :
My mother is a type 1 diabetic – are there different risks that she should be concerned with than someone dealing with type 2 diabetes?
Dr. Thomas - how do medications impact blood pressure?
Dr. Thomas@Unity:
Type I diabetes can cause low blood sugar, Type II less likely. Both can lead to heart disease.
Dr. Thomas@Unity:
Medications all work differently to improve blood pressure. There are six classes of medications. Some are diuretics, some dilate blood vessels, some decrease the resistance in blood vessels. Some medications work together better than alone.
Marc @ AHA:
@ Jgpratt – The American Heart Association considers diabetes to be one of the seven major controllable risk factors for cardiovascular disease. As Dr. Thomas mentions, adults with diabetes are two to four times more likely to have heart disease or a stroke than adults without diabetes.
How does diabetes affect cholesterol?
Wow really, what would be recommendations to lower the risk of heart disease and/or stroke for people with diabetes?
Dr. Thomas@Unity:
Diabetes and smoking are the two risk factors most likely to lead to early heart disease in men and women.
Dr. Thomas@Unity:
Diabetes when not well controlled can raise triglycerides which is a fat similar to cholesterol and is considered a risk factor when elevated for heart disease.
What are things that help people quit smoking?
Jgpratt :
Thank you Dr. Thomas and Mr. Natale!
Dr. Thomas@Unity:
If someone has diabetes, controlling it and having optimal levels of blood glucose and HgbAIC are important to prevent the complications of diabetes such include heart disease, kidney disease, retinal hemorrhages, etc.
What can people do to reduce triglyceride levels?
Marc @ AHA:
@lucyblue – Medications may be needed to manage blood sugar, others are lifestyle changes like quitting smoking as Dr. Thomas mentions. Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and has been strongly associated with insulin resistance. Weight loss can improve cardiovascular risk, decrease insulin concentration and increase insulin sensitivity. Obesity and insulin resistance also have been associated with other risk factors, including high blood pressure.
Dr. Thomas@Unity:
To quit smoking there are several ways available, none of which work for everyone. Nicotine gum, lozenges, patches, medications to reduce the craving for cigarettes. The E-cigarette has become more popular, but seems to be helping some people.
Thank you Marc and Dr. Thomas!
Marc @ AHA:
Yes E-cigarettes have received a lot of attention lately, however the lack of regulation has caused a lot of speculation.
Dr. Thomas@Unity:
The same dietary changes that lower cholesterol can reduce triglycerides. Decreasing your intake of saturated fat in meat, butter, cheese and fried food will all help to reduce triglycerides.
How does exercise affect cholesterol and heart disease?
Marc @ AHA:
@sassy35 - we have a great resource in NYS as well as many local smoking cessation centers. The NY Quit line actually offers free resources to eligible residents such as nicotine patches. You can contact them at 1-866-NY QUITS.
Dr. Thomas@Unity:
Regular exercise helps to lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol and therefore reduce the risk of developing heart disease. Start with 15 minutes a day if you have not been exercising and work up to a minimum of 30-40 minutes per day at least 3 days a week.
Dr. Thomas@Unity:
We also have smoking cessation classes put on by our Pulmonary specialists at Unity twice a year. It should be found on the Unity website. It is a multi-week class that helps people gradually quit smoking over, I believe, a six-week period.
Marc, does the AHA have any online resources that would be helpful for people with diabetes?
Marc @ AHA:
@lucyblue – ABSOLUTELY! We have a whole site within heart.org - just go to www.heart.org/diabetes. You will find a plethora of tools, recipes, trackers and even a diabetes health assessment
Can just walking 15 minutes a day help you lose weight?
Marc @ AHA:
@lucyblue – The diabetes health assessment helps you learn your 10-year risk of having a heart event and you can even print customized action plans to help you lower that risk.
That sounds great, I look forward to checking it out! Thanks!
Marc @ AHA:
Anytime lucyblue! You can spend hours in there. I have made several of the recipes myself.
Dr. Thomas@Unity:
Initially, if you have not done any exercise, it is a great way to start. But as part of a weight loss program the exercise physiologists say that more like 50 minutes of exercise 5 times a week can help people lose weight. But you have to work up to that amount of exercise.
That sounds like a wonderful resource for people concerned about heart health!
I understand that if it is difficult to exercise for an extended period, activity may be divided into several shorter periods throughout the day.
Dr. Thomas@Unity:
Yes, some people do 10-15 minutes 2-3 times a day and that works as well.
That's all the time we have for today. We have really enjoyed our conversation and hope that we were able to provide some insight for you. If we didn't get to your question today or if you think of another question later on – feel free to jump into the conversation in the forum, or submit a question using our "Ask an expert" feature. Be sure to join us for our next chat Tuesday, February 25 at 8 p.m. with Sharon Spear, C.D.E. and Rebekah Kepple, R.N., Manager of Unity Cardiology Services.
Sharon and Rebekah will be holding an open Q&A session and sharing important information about heart health!
Jgpratt :
thank you!
Great info tonight - thank you Dr. Thomas and Marc!
Thank you Dr. Thomas and Marc - very informative and helpful info!
Yes, thank you so much for joining us Dr. Thomas and Marc!
Marc @ AHA:
It was my pleasure!!! Thank you all for attending.

With 1256 votes in Region 2, I think it's safe to say that Modern Madness is catching on! This round was a real nail-biter. It was fascinating to watch the results come in and see the leaders emerge, and there are some surprise winners for sure.
But enough commentary — let's get to the results!
Flower Sugar by Lecien – 716 votes (57%)
def. Urban Zoologie by Ann Kelle – 540 (43%)
Rouenneries by French General – 783 votes (62%)
def. Party Dress by Mo Bedell – 473 (38%)
Swoon by Melissa Averinos – 674 votes (54%)
def. Greenfield Hill by Denyse Schmidt (46%)
Buttercup by Fig Tree Quilts – 803 votes (64%)
def. Beach Mod Circa 60 by Monaluna – 453 (36%)
Sherbet Pips by Aneela Hoey – 985 votes (78%)
def. Forest Friends Flannel by Cloud 9 Fabrics – 271 (22%)
Innocent Crush by Anna Maria Horner – 729 votes (58%)
def. Swiss Chocolate by Amanda Murphy – 527 (42%)
Farmdale by Alexander Henry Fabrics – 654 votes (52%)
def. Holiday Happy by Monica Solorio-Snow – 602 (48%)
Bliss by Bonnie & Camille – 968 votes (77%)
def. Queen Street by Jennifer Paganelli – 288 (23%)
It was interesting to note that Fig Tree Quilts made mention of Modern Madness in their most recent newsletter, which certainly led to a strong surge for Buttercup in its defeat of the popular organic Beach Mod collection. The voters that turned up for Team Fig Tree also helped Rouenneries pull ahead of Party Dress (a match that was deadlocked in a 50/50 stalemate for days) and cemented the victory for Bliss. Go Team Fig Tree!
Speaking of Bliss, it and Sherbet Pips came out of the gates strong with over 950 votes each. Are these two powerhouses destined for a Round 3 match-up?
And how about those upsets? The strength of Swoon toppled Denyse Schmidt's Greenfield Hill in a decisive victory, and the sweet Flower Sugar proved to be too much for the popular Urban Zoologie to handle.
Fortunately, several of those already defeated in round 1 will return to fight again. We'll see Denyse Schmidt, Ann Kelle, Daisy Janie, Cloud 9 Fabrics, and Saffron Craig back on the hardcourt in Regions 3 & 4.
The battles in Region 3 are sure to be #epic. It features the first appearances by designers extraordinaire Heather Ross, Momo, and Bari J. Saffron Craig, Daisy Janie, Laurie Wisbrun and Ann Kelle are all back in action. And two lines that some picked to go.all.the.way. — Modern Meadow and Meadowsweet — both make their Modern Madness Debut.
Ready to vote? Well, what are you waiting for? We'll have a short voting window for this region — voting will only remain open for about 48 hours. We'll link up to the fabric lines below for your reference.
Still need to print your brackets? Here's the link.

A smaller pod this week but even more Premier League to cram in there. Mid-week games mean that things pile up for teams and from now on games come thick and fast for these sides. Christmas isn't a let-up either.
Andre goes toe to toe with the board and Jose goes in on Romelu. The league is a harsh place to be and feel right now. Managers and players are on the end of frustration and fanaticism alike. Who was the performer of the weekend? Who stuck out to you?
Kris and Laurence take you through the games and look ahead to the rest of the action. Let us know what you want to hear mid-week. Have a discussion topic in mind? We'd love to hear it.

News is still circulating regarding recent claims that NVIDIA, is planning to give six of its AIBs preferential treatment.
Fudzilla offers a possible theory, in this report, suggesting that the six AIBs, made up of EVGA, ZOTAC, ASUS, MSI, Palit and XFX, may receive priority when the Santa Clara, CA based company ships design kits, GPUs and so on.
If true, it is surmised that this may lead to NVIDIA's other AIBs competing on a rather un-level playing field and this could force them to, eventually, part ways.
Whether such moves on NVIDIA's part will transpire or not is up to debate, yet is it possible that NVIDIA is striving for quality, over quantity?

Beautiful, sexy wedding dress made in Italy. This was a sample dress bought at a fancy bridal shop in Englewood, NJ (Jaehee Bridal Atelier). It cost $1,089 as a sample so I assume the original cost was somewhere around $2,000 or more. I had bought it, thinking I could have it altered to my size. Now, I'm seeking a different dress. I have another dress up on this site that I purchased from the same place, also a sample. Yup, I was one of the 2 dress brides ;) The dress has never been worn, never altered, and still has its tags. It is a size 10 (which translates to an 8, as I understand it, in bridal dress terminology). I'm a size 2 so the dress is big on me in the picture — not a fault of the dress. I'm 5'6" and wearing 4" heels in the picture. If you don't want to pay for altering, my mother could alter the height of the dress for you for no additional charge. She may even be able to alter the dress to your size for free. We both are just hoping to get some of what we spent on the dress back since I won't be using it. The body of it is silk and the bodice is embroidered with beads and lace. There's a layer over the body (charmeuse, I believe, but I'm not sure). It's incredibly comfortable and soft and the materials are lovely and quality. I'm happy to answer questions. I have more photos if you'd like to see them. Price is negotiable so please contact me and we can talk!

Earlier this year I had a chance to experience a breakthrough in skincare revolution called Clear Clinic @Home. Just launched in January, the at-home delivery acne system is like having your own personal dermatologist for your skin. Clear Clinic locations are all over the city, but not everyone has the luxury of getting to them, so ClearClinic.com was created to give acne suffers the ability to get similar service from home.
My Clear Clinic Labs experience began with my products arriving to my home. The kit is a two-month supply of Tea Tree Wash, Serious Action Serum, Deeppore Pads and a Prep & Soothe moisturizer. A few days before my kit arrived, I was contacted by Julie via email with my tracking number and asked if there was any questions I might have.
Julie is my Personal Acne Coach at Clear Clinic @Home. Her sole purpose is to follow up with me, let her know of any concerns or problems I may be having with my regiment.
A few days after my kit arrived Julie and I did a skype call, where Julie evaluated my skin and told me tips on the continuation with Clear Clinic Lab. She asked me things like "if I was having any irritation?" or "if I had been seeing a difference in my skin?". Following our skype meeting, Julie checked in on me every week and on my skin's progress.
I don't have acne, but I do get break outs and in the 2 months I used Clear Clinic @Home I had no breakouts most of the time, and if I did they were easier to control and went away quicker. My favorite products from the system is the Deeppore Pads and the Serious Action Serum. They were a little harsh on my skin at first, but after 21 days my skin got used to it. They both are great for zits and I was even using them on my body to dry out ingrown hairs. The pads are also amazing for back breakouts.
Clear Clinic @Home is definitely worth looking into. It's safe, easy to use, and having the Personal Acne Coach is one of the most ingenious ideas ever. The best part is that this entire process can be done from the privacy of your own home. When I was skyping Julie, I was in bed, relaxing. I mean it really doesn't get any simpler than that. Besides being convenient, the products actually work. Getting dermatologist worthy products for the price of over the counter products is great.

Note Worthy
Local music goes to the movies, Heartbeats go out with a bang
By Michel Miller 08/28/2014
If you like seeing the same bands perform all summer long at various events with festive titles then you are in luck. Summer's nearly over, yet there's still time to get another music festival under your belt. This weekend it's the 30th annual Bombay Beach Party featuring an outdoor stage, a beer garden and . . . drum roll . . . a mechanical bull. Freshening this year's lineup are Darkside of the Hand, Kapeesh, Anchor and Bear, Curtsy and Bullet Made Statues in addition to stalwart artists such as Jade Hendrix, Rubberneck Lions and 8 Stops 7. Army of Freshmen will also take a break from post-production work on the film Betting on Baker to whip fans into a lather with its super-animated, high-energy pop-punk before heading to the U.K. to tour with Lit in the fall. It should be a good time for all, and hopefully as lucrative for the talent as it will undoubtedly be for the venue and possibly the city. (All that DUI revenue is as tasty as Bombay's gourmet burgers.)
Not exactly a music festival, but definitely an event, the Ventura County Music Awards ceremony will take place at Discovery in midtown Ventura on Saturday, Sept. 6. No longer under the direction of VC Buzz (kill), the new and improved event promises to dish out enough warm fuzzies to stave off a mini-ice age as the region's hardworking musicians will get some much deserved kudos. "All we want to do is spread peace and happiness and celebrate each other's projects," said organizer Tim Amoroso of the Red Light District radio show. "We are just people who appreciate what [musicians] have done for the community. We're just people who want to say thank you." Winners in various categories, as determined by an online polling system, will be announced at the event in addition to special recognition of Ill Repute, Del Franklin and Chuck D, who, according to Amoroso, has been championing local artists.
It seems the filmmaking bug hasn't only bitten Army of Freshmen; Rain Perry is entering the arena with a documentary film called The Shopkeeper about her producer, Mark Hallman (Carole King, Ani DiFranco) and his studio, Congress House, in Austin, Texas. The history of the studio, which is celebrating its 33 1/3 anniversary, will serve to frame the larger subject: the rise and fall of the DIY singer-songwriter movement. At press time, Perry had already raised nearly $18,000 of her $28,000 goal through indiegogo.com. The campaign deadline is Sept. 2.
Word on the street is that Monday nights at Billy O's are going off thanks to event promoter and DJ Hannah Haskins and her groovy Motown Monday dance party. Haskins says it's an eclectic bunch that fills the dance floor to boogie to her R&B format which includes Stax artists, British invasion and rocksteady. From grandmothers to 21-year-olds, "Everyone loves this music," says Haskins. It should also be noted that Billy O's and other venues outside the downtown Ventura "cultural district," such as The Garage, Squashed Grapes and GiGi's, are currently booking some of the best local and touring music in the area.
The final performance of Jeff Hershey and the Heartbeats at the Olivas Adobe was the subject of a recent complaint by the publisher of the Ventura Breeze, who was miffed about the band's volume and the use of profanity, to which fans responded, "If it's too loud, you're too old."

Best Iron E-v-e-r!!I got this 2 weeks ago and I got it at the mall and the lady did it on my hair and it made my hair silky and smooth and soft and STRAIGHT. But my hairs easy to straighten so I wasnt that convinced. So i had the lady do my moms hair and my mom has really really curly frizzy hair and she CONSTANTLY colors it. I had the lady straighten my moms whole hair and I told her if it works on her head that I will buy it. IT WORKED my moms hair was straighter and softer than mine! I recommend this 100%!!Sep 23, 2007JennaHAIR TYPEDry Hair

It's All About The ServiceI saw it at first in the mall but I didnt buy it cause it looked too good to be true. I just bought it two days ago in the mall and its pretty ok. Its just that before I left the mall I really wanted to return it because I was having second thoughts. The service was abismal!!! When I told them that I was thinking of buying it they were so nice and then when I asked them to take it back they were such b***!!If you are thinking of buying it then really think about it. The product itself is fine(Ive only used it once). I just think Corioliss need a better return policy, or at the very least they need nicer employees.Aug 28, 2007Samantha / Spring Valley, NY

My Opinioni think when some girls read thes reviews, they need to consider their hair..and also, when some girls are trying out the product..are you using it correctly? some people use too much hair, some go too fast. you need to use small sections of hair, and go slooooooww... i have shoulder length very curly, somewhat thicker hair and it works fabulous for me. now let me tell you something else...when the woman at the mall did my hair, i went outside to test it. it was very humid.( we live in FL) i sat in the car for 20 min becxause it wass raining but i wanted to get the real effects..see how this really held up. 20 minutes later..my hair was perfect. so i went back inside and tested it. my suggestion is you do the same if you are buying it from a mall or sales rep..have them straighten your hair, then go outside when its humid. im very happy with mine. i also dont color my hair, which is damaging, so if your doing other damaging things to your hair, maybe that also effects the way the iron works? but iknow im happy. heres a before and after pic. the pic of my hair curly is when it was still damp so keep that in mind.Aug 26, 2007Jacquie / Florida

Too Hot For Many Hair TypesI bought this from a mall cart and have regretted it. It is not adjustable and heats to 410. After just 3-4 uses my hair started breaking off. (I have easy to curl, fine, color-treated hair.) I also believe the salesperson made misrepresentations. She claimed the plates are 100% ceramic, and I think they are ceramic coated. She also said I could bring it back, but it turns out I can only exchange it. Dont impulse buy at the Mall like me. I am out $180 and have some seriously damaged hair.Aug 22, 2007The Next One / Portland, Oregon

It's Ok...it Works.i got the pink corioliss about a year ago cause my flat iron broke and i didnt want to order a chi, sedu or a solia cause i flat iron my hair EVERYDAY and i couldnt wait for it to be shipped to me. So i went to the mall to find a chi and the store that sold them closed, but as I was walking out of the mall I saw the corioliss kiosk. So i picked out the pink cause i thought it was cute and went home.The flat iron works pretty well i mean i have really curly hair, and not the type that most people claim they have and their hair is acutally really thin but curly, mine is thick and curly and when not properly cared for it expands to 3x the width of my head...but back to the flat iron. it works very well, i mean it get my hair very straight and i get compliments about it, but i feel that you coud do better with a sedu or solia (which i havent tried...just speculation)i borrowed my friendss sedu and T3 for a touch ups, and both worked well but i dont know how they will work if i flat iron my hair from curly.so in conclusion, i think that it is a great iron, it does the job and i get ery similar results from my hair dresser that uses a CHI, but i feel that other flat irons can work just as well or mayber better. i will also say i have never had and mechanical issues with the flat iron i even take i tin my suit case and i also have accidently dropped it (a bunch, but on carpet...so not that bad)lastly, it is key that you used REALLY good products because it does greatly improve your results with ANY IRON you use.Aug 17, 2007Tori / Washington, DcHAIR TYPECurly Hair

Saturday night was Senior Night at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs as the UConn faithful had their chance to say good-bye to this year's class, Stefanie Dolson and Bria Hartley. The pre-game ceremony was a fitting celebration to two consummate team leaders. As for the game itself against 24th ranked (AP) Rutgers, the Huskies, behind 20 points apiece from Hartley and Breanna Stewart, made quick work of the Scarlet Knights, building a ten point lead five minutes in and cruising to a 72-35 dismantling before a packed house of just over 10,000 on the Storrs campus.
With the win, top ranked UConn (30-0, 17-0 AAC) recorded its ninth straight 30 win season, building on the record they set last season as they surpassed the seven straight season record held by Duke. Since the '93-94 season the Huskies have reached the 30 win plateau eighteen times and have started a season 30-0 seven times since the '94-95 campaign.
The seniors
Dolson (6 pts, 10 rbs) joined the 1,000 point/ 1,000 Rebound Club when she hauled in a defensive rebound just before the half.
On her milestone Dolson said, "Means the world. I've said this before. I never really thought it was going to happen. So, for me to get that accomplishment, I'm really proud of myself. I didn't think I really had it in me a few years ago and now looking back it's a great accomplishment."
UConn coach Geno Auriemma added, "When she was a freshman I did not recruit her for her rebounding. I did not know how many rebounds she would get because she didn't strike me as a great rebounder her freshman year. It has taken awhile for her to understand, to go get the ball, and I am really proud of her because that was not one of her strengths coming out of high school."
Hartley (20 pts, 4 rbs, 4 asst) will graduate having recorded over 1,500 Points/500 Rebounds/500 Assists, joining UConn greats Maya Moore and Diana Taurasi in that exclusive club.
On her Senior Day experience Hartley said, "I think it awesome. I was excited to be out there playing. I had a lot of family here so that was really exciting. For the whole game, I was just enjoying the moment while I was out there."
KML returns
The feel good atmosphere Saturday was given another boost as Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis (7 pts, 3 rbs, 3 assts) returned to the lineup after missing four games battling mononucleosis. Her return was ahead of schedule as it was originally reported the sharp-shooter would miss a minimum of three weeks. KML logged 27 minutes on the hardwood in her return. Still, it's been a frustrating year for the junior sharp-shooter having missed eight games prior with an elbow injury.
Asked about her latest return to the lineup Mosqueda-Lewis said she felt, "Really good. No side effects. Not tired and nothing hurts", Adding with the Louisville matchup tonight that it was, "Really important for me to get going and get into a game setting."
Deck stacked against them
Rutgers (21-7, 12-5), which dropped a 30 point decision to UConn at home in January, came into Storrs behind the eight ball right off the bat, not having injured leading scorer Kahleah Copper (16.1 ppg) available. The sophomore guard is nursing a bad toe. Despite this being coach C. Vivian Stringer's 28th 20 win season, this year's squad has hardly been a vintage Scarlet Knights team, having lost four of five this season to teams ranked in the Top 25.
Said Stringer, ""We're obviously not very deep offensively. I think Kahleah was our highest scorer when we played them at our place. What is important about Kahleah is the way she scores. Connecticut has people that aren't here as well. We just don't have the depth."
UConn took it to the undermanned Knights right out of the gates. Stewart (20 pts, 10 rbs) put on a clinic in the first seven minutes scoring eleven of UConn's first eighteen points staking the Huskies to an early ten point lead. Six minutes later a Stewart layup pushed the lead to 20 and the Huskies cruised into the half up by 25. UConn's lead never dipped below 20 the rest of the way reaching the high water mark of 40 just north of the eight minute mark.
Words of wisdom
Asked about what they'd say to an incoming freshman into one of the great programs in college basketball Hartley said, "Buy into what (Auriemma) is saying. Especially as a freshman. Play loose. I think when you're a freshman, you're afraid to make a mistake."
For Dolson the answer wasn't so easy, giving her answer some thought before saying, "Boy, I really don't know. Listen to coach; to what he says. The biggest thing when I was a freshman was buying into everything that coach said was right. To trust all that as a freshman, when you have a new coach and it's your first year. As a freshman you just have to come in and believe the things he says and does are for a reason. He's the best coach in the country for a reason."
Next up: UConn closes the regular season this evening traveling to #3 Louisville (28-2, 16-1 AAC) with hopes of capturing, outright, the inaugural American Athletic Conference regular season crown. UConn downed the Cardinals 81-64 in Storrs in early February. Louisville has won five straight since their loss to the Huskies and won 21 of their last 22 games. Tip time is 7 p.m.

UCF Holds Off Belmont for Impressive Holiday Tournament Title Game Win
Dec. 29, 2012
UCF Athletics Social Media Directory
By Doug Richards
ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - Led by senior forward Keith Clanton, UCF held off a late surge by Belmont to win its sixth UCF Holiday Tournament title with a 66-63 triumph over the Bruins Saturday night. Clanton, who earned tournament MVP honors, scored a tournament-high 26 points and added 10 rebounds, three assists and a pair of blocks.
UCF (9-3) never trailed against the Bruins, who entered the contest rated 14th nationally in the RPI, and then withstood Belmont's (9-4) rally. After trailing by as many as 13 points in the second half, the Bruins got within two points with 35 seconds left after Trevor Noack nailed a 3-pointer. After Calvin Newell nailed a free throw to give the hosts a 64-61 edge with 18 seconds left, the Knights clamped down defensively and forced Kerron Johnson to take an off-balance layup, which fell short.
"That is a good basketball team. There is a reason why they won 27 games last year," UCF head coach Donnie Jones said. "I knew that it would be a battle all the way down the stretch. This team was 16th RPI in the country and went in and beat Stanford, who won the NIT last year. This is a great win for our program."
Joining Clanton on the all-tournament squad was sophomore forward Kasey Wilson. The North Port native littered the box score in the two contests, combining for 19 points, 15 rebounds, four blocks and a pair of treys in the victories over Howard and Belmont.
Despite playing its second contest in 24 hours, the Knights showed off energy early and raced out to an 8-2 edge to start the game and led 33-21 at the break after limiting Belmont to only 25.7 percent shooting overall and 1-of-11 (9.1 percent) shooting from deep in the opening stanza.
UCF advanced to the title game with a 62-45 win over Howard Friday. The 45 points scored by the Bison were the sixth-fewest allowed by the Knights since the program moved to the Division I level in 1984.
UCF and Belmont were meeting for the first time since 2005. Both programs competed in the Atlantic Sun in the early 2000s.
UCF shot 42.9 percent overall and 47.4 percent from 3-point range. Belmont shot 37.3 percent from the floor and 26.9 percent from behind the arc. The Bruins were led by Ian Clark's 21 points. Johnson, Dom Morris of Boston University and Calvin Thompson of Howard also made the all-tournament team.
The Knights will return to action on Wednesday, Jan. 2, when they host cross-state rival USF. Tipoff is 8 p.m. and the game will air nationally on CBS Sports Network.

Far from Falluja there's another battle raging that's just as vicious and even more dangerous in its implications. But the American press is for the most part ignoring the civil war in West Africa's Ivory Coast, since it involves nobody, really, just Africans and the French. Which is whyDouglas Farah's overview of the conflict in The Washington Post is especially welcome. Farah notes the anti-Muslim fervor of much of the violence — the homes of Post employees who were Muslim were attacked while police looked on — and the cynical exploitation of anti-colonialist sentiment by Ivory Coast's president, Lauren Gbago, a thug cut from the same cloth as that of Rwanda's genocidaires. But Farah neglects another aspect of Gbago's strategy: mobilization of evangelical Christian support, in Ivory Coast and abroad.
Gbago has framed the conflict as a holy war, with Ivory Coast "native" Protestants on one side, and foreign Muslims and godless French Catholics on the other. One evangelical preacher took to Ivory Coast state radio to declare that French President Chirac is "inhabited by the spirit of Satan", after French peacekeepers destroyed the Ukrainian gunships Gbago's forces had used to terrorize Muslim civilians and attack the peacekeepers, as well as American aid workers.
Even more disturbing is the support Gbago is finding among American evangelicals. World Evangelical Alliance frames the fight as a "decisive hour" in a battle between Christians and "demonic" Islamists. Mega-site Crosswalk focussed only on Christian victims of violence. And even Christianity Today, home to fine and respectable journalism, spun the story, at its beginning at least, as one primarily of anti-Christian persecution, with no mention that the government in power is "Christian," at least to the extent that such a claim helps it mobilize mobs to attack Muslims.
At least the Christian press is paying attention, unlike much of the mainstream press. But it's doing so in such a fashion that the term "journalism" may not apply. The bottom line of such stories is the old canard of the cold war, used in reference to foreign dictators: He may be a son-of-a-bitch, but he's our son-of-a-bitch.
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who heads the Vatican's Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (formerly known as the Inquisition) and who is considered the likely successor to the Pope, has indicted "secular Europe" as an anti-God continent that leaves no room for the Catholic and Christian vision. "'Secularism is no longer neutral,'" Ratzinger told an Italian paper, but rather "'hostile to public manifestations of Christianity.'" Which manifestation in particular? The placement of Rocco Buttiglione, an Italian politician with ultra-conservative views on the role of women and the condemnation of homosexuality, in the office of EU Human Rights Commissioner. Citing the European Parliament's rejection of Buttiglione and the case of a Swedish pastor imprisoned for preaching against homosexuality, Ratzinger said that Christianity has come full circle back to "a band of the faithful" persecuted by the Roman Empire. Ratzinger also diagnosed a demographic problem for Europe in the changing ethnic composition of "'the ancient heartlands of Christendom'" threatened by a falling birthrate and Muslim immigration.
Ned Flanders has a new job, editing Lark News, the "Christian Onion."
Another unrelated item tagged onto the House's $388 billion spending bill (besides thebackdoor anti-abortion measures) concerns a 43-foot cross on city land in La Jolla, California. The cross, which has been at the center of controversy for 15 years, has now been declared a national veterans' memorial by the spending bill.

If you are looking for a delicious dessert for Mother's Day this weekend, this Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cake is the answer! The cake is delicious and easy to make, plus it serves a crowd. It reminded me of carrot cake, but with oats and chocolate chips.
I typically like anything with cream cheese frosting, and this cake was no exception. I really liked the texture the oats add to the cake and the warm flavor from the cinnamon, plus the chocolate chips add just the right amount of richness. I reduced the amount of sugar that the original recipe called for and thought it was still sweet enough. You could even reduce the brown sugar if you want less sugar in your cake. This cake was a hit at a recent party, and I will definitely make it again if I need to bring dessert!
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cake (recipe from Two Peas and their Pod)
1 1/4 cups water
1 cup chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose Gold Medal flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, at room temperature
2 large eggs, slightly beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
For the cream cheese frosting:
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
5 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch glass or light-colored metal baking pan. Set aside.
2. Bring the water to a boil. Place the chocolate chips in a small bowl and toss them with the 2 tablespoons of flour. This will keep them from settling at the bottom during baking. Set aside.
3. Place the oats and butter cubes in a large bowl. Pour the boiling water over the oat mixture, wait 30 seconds, and stir to moisten all the oats and melt the butter. Let the oat mixtures set for 25 to 30 minutes.
4. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, both sugars, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon until combined. Fold in the cooled oatmeal and stir until well combined. Gently fold in the remaining flour and then the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
5. Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool on a wire rack until completely cooled.
6. While the cake is cooling make the cream cheese frosting. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until it is completely smooth. Add the cream cheese and beat until combined. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth, about 1 minute.
7. Frost the cooled the cake with cream cheese frosting. Cut into pieces and serve.

Texas: The Devil's Dwelling Place!
My Dearest Comrads:
Texas is the vacation spot for the devil! While he is there in his oh-so-familiar-ridiculously-hot climate, he has tempted the inhabitants of that state to want to secede!
The South had tried that once before during the Civil War when Abraham Lincoln was our president and a damn good one at that! But, He did not allow the South to go about their foolish ways! Even he knew that something was up! The Devil has tried once again with a hot southern state and is once again trying to break away from the rest of the United States of America!
It would only seem that our devilish opponent has a habit of breaking away from those who are much more powerful than he. When our Lord Jesus Christ was fasting in the desert, the devil tempted him many a time. He offered him land.
"8: Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9: And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10: Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." (I Pet. 2: 21, 22)
If I may point out to you (even though I believe you are smart enough to figure it out on your own) the two occasions in which he has tried to break away:
1.) When God and his angels were singing in praise to the creation of the earth. Lucifer hated the other angels and thought of himself in his own light. Thus he broke away from God and his paradise. We know that paradise as Heaven.
2.) When Mr. Abraham Lincoln was our president, the South decided to secede from the rest of the country. The Devil had tempted and bribed the Southern Army leaders with power, pride, and wealth. Though they tried they were defeated by the Northern Armies.
3.) This only being a possibility, but the Devil has once again tempted the South with power, pride, and wealth. He is once again trying to break away from the "whole"!
Should we allow this action to take place? Should we let them fall into the claws of the Devil and let them find out what really awaits them? NO, Comrads! Everyone can be saved! But, not without help! The Lord, Jesus Christ, can and will save those who he deems worthy of saving! Should they worship the Devil then they shall be cast into the fiery caverns of Hell when Judgement Day comes around!
Comrads, I conclude this article by telling you to not give up hope in saving those who need saving! Jesus cannot bare this alone and neither can we! We must help him as well as our fellow man to carry onward towards saving those to need saving! Do not give up hope so easily! Jesus carried his cross all the way to the end! He did not give up even though I'm sure the devil was tempting him to quit and die right then and there, He didn't! He accepted his fate and carried it out! Right to the very end!

The 64th edition of Encephalon is up at the Neurocritic and has been exceptionally well presented. Neurocritic embeds all the articles in context, sometimes linking to other external sources, and also providing a seamless flow between the varied topics that are covered. The articles themselves are very good, and include submissions from some new blogs other than the usual suspects.A couple of my favorites include a construal level-procrastination linkage study and a DAT-KO mice couldn't get high on cocaine study. There is more at the source, so head over to there.

Topic: PacketProtector Light 1.0!!!
PacketProtector Light 1.0 is available here-
This firmware is optimized for routers with 4MB of flash and 16MB of RAM (e.g. the Linksys WRT54GL). Here's what you get-
* a stateful firewall (iptables)
* intrusion prevention (Snort-inline)
* remote access VPN (OpenVPN)
* anti-phishing (OpenDNS)
* automatic updates (for Snort)
* a local certificate authority (OpenSSL)
* secure management interfaces (SSH and HTTPS)
* advanced firewall scripts for blocking IM and P2P apps
* IP spoofing prevention (Linux rp_filter)
* basic protocol anomaly detection (ipt_unclean)
The Snort-inline startup is still a bit of a kludge, but it works well. There isn't much room left on a 4MB flash so the Snort rules are stored in /tmp, and fetched from snort.org on each reboot (when auto-updates are enabled).

Will the Saints go marching in? The old spiritual is about heaven: How I want to be in that number, when the saints go marching in ... And should New Orleans win the Super Bowl this Sunday, many of the team's fans will consider it heaven on Earth. If the devil were trading football victories for souls on Bourbon Street, one fears that he would do a brisk business.
New Orleans loves the Saints. Football -- college and professional -- is a powerful cultural force across the American south, but between Atlanta and Texas there are no NFL teams save for the Saints. So since the Saints began playing in 1967, they have enjoyed wide devotion. They were loved when they were the "Ain'ts," losing far more often than winning. And they were loved during the long 1970s when their star quarterback, Archie Manning, was something of a one-man show. On Sunday, Archie's loyalties will be divided, for his Saints will be facing the Indianapolis Colts; and their star quarterback is none other than his son Peyton Manning -- better even than his father was, and one of the best of all time.
The Saints have been loved with the long-suffering love that fans reserve for perennial losers. The Saints have never won a Super Bowl. They have never been in a Super Bowl. They entered the league in 1967, meaning that they have gone championship-free for as long as the Toronto Maple Leafs, without the benefit a proud history before that.
But since 2005, when Hurricane Katrina ripped the heart out of New Orleans (and the roof off the Superdome), the Saints have become even more intensely associated with their city. There was initial pain when it was thought that the Saints might move, and then rejoicing when they stayed. The Saints' return to the Superdome on Monday Night Football in 2006 was one of the most emotionally charged moments in the history of American sports.
A spiritual bond has since been established between the team and its city, as if somehow the rise of the Saints post-Katrina is the rise of the city from the waters of the flood. A Super Bowl for the Saints would no doubt be considered an act of God--perhaps considered divine compensation for the act of God that laid the city low.
No other team has quite the religious trappings of the Saints, which is suitable for New Orleans, where the sacred and very profane jostle for room. They call their corporate sponsors "patron saints." There is a cheering nun on the banner of their homepage. And they are not shy about calling upon God for a little assistance.
The Saints customarily have a Mass celebrated before their Sunday games, which is not uncommon in the NFL. But on Monday? Saints' owner Tom Benson, a practising Catholic, opted for a pregame Mass this past season before their biggest game, the Monday night contest against the New England Patriots. He had the Mass offered by the Archbishop of New Orleans, Gregory Aymond, his retired predecessor Archbishop Philip Hannan, and for good measure, Archbishop Jose Gomez of San Antonio, where the Saints played in the aftermath of Katrina. Theologically, a Mass by a simple country pastor is no less efficacious than one with three archbishops, but one wants to be sure. The Saints shellacked the Patriots in their coming-out party as one of the NFL's elite teams. If it were possible, Benson would likely have the College of Cardinals in for the Super Bowl.
So is God on the Saints' side? That might be pushing it a little too far -- after all, the Colts have fans, too. But if the Lord comforts the afflicted and restoreth the years that the locust has eaten, it would be fitting for the Saints to go marching in.
In 1966, the new team was announced for New Orleans on All Saints Day, Nov. 1. In due course it was proposed that the team be named after the famous hymn, which doubles as a jazz number in New Orleans funeral processions -- a double entendre more relevant during the losing years. The then-governor of Louisiana asked Archbishop Hannan if the name might be sacrilegious. The archbishop said no, but warned that "from the viewpoint of the Church, most of the saints were martyrs." The long suffering may soon be over.

One of the drawbacks to cutting the cable or satellite cord is the limitations on watching live sporting events such as the Olympics.
Smart TVs or external Internet TV devices such as Roku can offer a tremendous bargain compared to pay television providers, which tend to cost $70 to $100 per month or more when adding the cost of programming and per room fees, along with charges for equipment rental, HD and DVR service.
Sports fans might feel jittery about giving up the variety of sports channels available from DirecTV, Dish Network and cable providers like Time Warner. However, even if you've canceled your pay TV subscription, you still have several ways of catching the Olympics games.
Over the air is the most obvious solution, though many cable cutters don't bother with antennas, either forgoing broadcast television entirely or watching their favorite shows on premium streaming services that cost much less than cable or satellite. Unfortunately, watching over the air channels isn't as easy as attaching a set of rabbit ears anymore if you don't have a fairly recent TV set. For an older, non-digital television, you'll need a converter box, costing around $50, in addition to an antenna, which runs at least $15 or $20 for a low-end one or upwards of $40 for an attractive wall-hanging design such as a Leaf.
NBC plans to stream a significant amount of Olympics coverage online. You can catch games, awards ceremonies and even the athlete bio reels.
Many popular performances make it to YouTube, such as Jason Brown's show stopping figure skating number, which has racked up over 3.5 million views.
You could reconnect yourself to cable TV, if you're not averse to spending a few extra dollars a month to reunite with broadcast networks and some of your favorite cable channels. Time Warner Cable now has the TWC TV app for Apple iOS, Android, PC, Mac, Roku, Xbox 360 and Amazon Kindle Fire HD/HDX, meaning you can purchase a low-end cable subscription for as little as $40 a month if you don't rent a cable box or subscribe to any extras. Before signing up, make sure TWC TV streams local broadcast stations in your area, and make sure you can cancel the service without penalty if you don't like it.
Check to see if your favorite sports bar or restaurant plans to broadcast Sochi Olympics games on their big screen televisions. When you visit, you can ask the person who seats you to place you near the screen showing the event you'd like to watch.

Each Wednesday the Stanford men's gymnastics team will post a childhood photo of a current gymnast on their Facebook and Twitter pages asking, "Can you name this gymnast?" The identity of the gymnast will be revealed on Thursday along with a special Q-and-A, giving fans a chance to get to know the gymnasts before the 2014 season.
This week's featured gymnast is freshman Taylor Seaton. The Plano, Texas, native discusses adjusting to college life, what he looks forward to most this coming season and his interests outside the gym.
How has your freshman year been going so far?
This year has been going really well both in and out of the gym. I have enjoyed being on the gymnastics team and it already feels like I am a part of the family. I am constantly impressed by the people I meet at Stanford and I have already started to make lifelong friendships.
What have been some of the most significant changes adjusting to college life?
Living away from my family has been a big change for me and has forced me to be less dependent on my parents for things. Living with other kids has forced me to be disciplined in balancing my school work, social life, and most importantly, getting sleep. There have been a lot of changes involved in transitioning to college life but most of them have helped me grow.
How has your time in the gym been going?
I have made a lot of progress in the gym and have seen tangible results since the first week of training. The training is a bit faster paced than what I was used to but has helped me to get stronger and set my expectations higher. I have been able to learn from the coaches and my teammates, which have helped me push myself to be the best that I can be.
Any personal goals you'd like to accomplish this year?
I would like to stay on top of my school work and make the lineup at every completion this year so that I can contribute to the gymnastics team and also feel accomplished in my academics.
What do you look forward to most this season?
I am most looking forward to competing at home. I am excited to put on a Cardinal uniform and represent my school in front of my friends and family.
When did you decide you wanted to come to Stanford?
I decided that I wanted to come to Stanford when I was accepted into the school. I felt like I was invited to join a very talented group of people at an exceptional institution and it was almost impossible to turn down.
What was that moment like when you received the acceptance letter?
I can't describe the level of excitement I had when I opened the acceptance letter. I could hardly believe that I got into such a prestigious university and was given such an incredible opportunity.
Outside of the gym, what do you like doing with your free time?
I enjoy reading and studying my bible, listening to music, and going to parties with my friends on the weekends. There are many ways to get involved into groups with people who share similar interests and I am still looking in to all of the opportunities available. Some of the things I have been interested in trying out are Cardinal Life, which is a Christian group on campus, and getting involved in the radio station on campus.
What do you hope to accomplish in your four years on The Farm, both in the gym and as a student?
I hope to make lots of mistakes that I can learn from and that will help me grow as a person. I want to find a major that I really enjoy and graduate with a good GPA. Last but not least, I would love to win a national championship in gymnastics.

(NBC) - If you were lucky enough to escape the winter without getting the flu, you're not out of the woods yet!
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports a second wave of influenza is on the rise, especially in the northeast and some mid-Atlantic states.
This time it's Influenza-B, which is different from the strains that spread earlier in the flu season.
And while experts say it's not uncommon to see a surge in flu during the spring months, some New England states are reporting more cases now than they did in December and January.
The CDC says the second wave of flu typically peters out in May, but it really never goes away.
