It's almost impossible to write about pink wines these days without invoking some sort of cliche. Even the (true) claim that rosé wines are no longer out of fashion has been recycled so many times that I'm cringing just typing it. The fact of the matter is that after years of being vino-non-grata, pink wines are finally back in the awareness of American wine drinkers. After the success of Sutter Home White Zinfandel sent wine lovers running for the hills every time someone offered them a glass of rose, discerning palates are returning to pink wines in huge numbers. According... continue reading
We live in a world of marketing, where everyone struggles to distinguish their product from the competition and where seduction is the name of the game. Winemakers and producers seemingly must participate in this cacophony of messages in order for their wines to attract the attention of consumers. This competition for eyeballs in the store (or online), and then share of wallet (or, one might say, share of cellar) leads to an awful lot of hype. Wine labels and web sites are now chock full of all sorts of claims and phrases, leaving consumers to sort out the honest descriptions... continue reading
I never thought this day would come. Really. When I started Vinography more than four years ago, part of my inspiration was the fact that when I typed "wine blog" into Google, I got zero results. I did the same with all the major blogging sites/services and came up pretty much empty handed. There were one or two wine blogs that had been started several months earlier, but they had been abandoned. So I started tapping out my thoughts about in my own little dark corner of the Internet, assuming that in a while I'd have one or two friends... continue reading
Path to tree "Photographing vineyards isn't the easiest thing in the world. While they all have their own particular beauties, there's a lot that stays the same -- rows of grapevines, one after another. I often find myself wandering outside the vineyards themselves to see what new perspectives I can get. I liked this tree that sits behind the crest of the vineyard hill. You an barely see the last row of vines at the top of the hill." -- Michael Regnier INSTRUCTIONS: Download this image by right-clicking (Mac users, click and hold) on the image and selecting "save... continue reading
One of the world's leading wine critics has just proclaimed that wine writers, journalists, and critics are all parasites. According to Decanter magazine, while being paid to hang out in a plush cliffside hotel in Ronda, Spain, Jancis Robinson took a moment out from tasting some of the world's best wines to admonish her fellow journalists, "We must always remember that we are parasites on the business of winemaking." From Websters: Parasite \ˈper-ə-ˌsīt, ˈpa-rə-\ . Noun. 1 : a person who exploits the hospitality of the rich and earns welcome by flattery 2 : an organism living in, with, or... continue reading
Like Jazz standards interpreted endlessly by masters and amateurs alike, grapes find infinite expression in the hands of winemakers around the world. These interpretations, filtered through the lens of a regions climate and geology, are often wildly different from place to place. Syrah from Paso Robles in California, the Barossa Valley in Australia, Cornas in France's Northern Rhone Valley, and Washington State's Colombia Gorge are so wildly different you might even question that they were the same grape in a blind tasting. Such variation serves to both delight and befuddle wine lovers at different turns, and can often prompt the... continue reading
I'm a little late to the game on this one folks, so apologies for the last minute notification. But if you're not busy on Tuesday evening and you are either a fan of Port or interested in one of the more interesting up-and-coming red wine regions of the world, you may want to pay attention. We get plenty of opportunities to taste California wines around here, and some chances to explore France and Italy, but Portuguese wine tastings are rare in most of the United States. This tasting has been billed as the largest Portuguese wine tasting in America. Of... continue reading
I'm sure that by the end of the week, Georg Riedel will have a contract out on my life, but no matter. This needs saying, and I'm ready to face the consequences. Fancy wine decanters are a waste of your money. They are also a royal pain in the neck. Oh sure, they're beautiful and elegant. They exude class and sophistication. Some of them even rise to the level of art. But when it comes to what they're actually good for, 97.9999% of them are a complete waste of money. Don't get me wrong. This is not a rant against... continue reading
Regardless of your level of wine knowledge, and independent of the price you normally pay for a bottle of wine, I'm willing to bet that you'll agree with the following statement: On average (which is to say, not ALWAYS) a bottle of wine that costs $150 will taste better than a bottle that costs $2. That's what I would assume, at least. And built into that assumption is another assumption -- that many people (though certainly not all) would be able to tell the difference between the two. According to a recent paper from the delightful folks at the Journal... continue reading
Three years ago this week I was making my way around the top restaurants of Buenos Aires, ordering too much food, too much wine, and having a grand old time. I had come to Argentina, in addition to simply relax, to find out whether or not there was anything worth drinking made out of a grape called Malbec. The answer, of course, was a resounding "yes!" I managed to figure out why some serious wine lovers (and critics alike) had begun to quietly suggest that Argentinean Malbec was going to be the Next Big Thing. This wine was NOT one... continue reading
Review by W. Blake Gray. Carlo Rossi was a real person: a relative of Ernest and Julio Gallo. In the 1970s, the Gallos launched a new jug wine and decided "Carlo Rossi" (though he actually went by "Charlie.") had the right ring to it. Now he's famous and synonymous with cheap wine. This is not a bad thing: songs and even a band have been named after him. And people who buy Carlo Rossi wine do not turn up their noses at it -- it's bringing pleasure into their lives. It seems that Robert Mondavi may be headed down the... continue reading
As wine lovers, we all belong to a club whose entrance criteria include passion and romanticism. We return to wine again and again for its magical ability to transcend what is in the glass, and to transport us in memory and experience to both favorite and new places. By far the most pleasurable and rewarding relationship with wine involves an affair of just these sorts of passions, blissfully ignorant of the facts which demand that wine also be understood in terms of economics, politics, and science. Many of us are content to live in a world where there is no... continue reading
Seven years ago, I didn't really know anything about Riesling. Seriously. Most of the Rieslings I had tasted at that point were purchased in supermarkets. Which meant that they were all from California or Washington, and that almost without exception, they sucked. I had yet to begin exploring the wines of Germany and Austria (I would shudder at the thought of decoding those inscrutable five-syllable names) and when it came to the wines of Alsace, I tended to pass over Riesling in favor of Gewurztraminer and Pinot Blanc. I had probably tasted one or two Rieslings from the Clare Valley... continue reading
Wire and Posts "This is a recent image from a trip to Sonoma. I'm always attracted to the trees in the vineyards, and their relationships to the vines.

In some ways, if Mark Neal and his small winery, Neal Family Vineyards, didn't make fantastic wines, it would be cause for extreme concern. Neal has been working in the vineyards since the age of eight, and his family business, which was responsible for his early employment among the vines, has been managing many of Napa's finest vineyards for more than four decades. At this point, Jack Neal and Sons, which still carries the name of Mark's father, who passed away in 1994, is the single largest vineyard management company in Napa according to Neal. They manage well over 2000... continue reading
If you've been drinking wine long enough, especially California wine, you've probably heard the phrase "hillside fruit" or "mountain fruit." While both phrases are certainly overused (I've seen some vineyards that produce "hillside fruit" that are about as steep as my kitchen floor) I cannot deny that I believe there is something special about fruit that is properly grown on steep slopes and mountainsides. I've had too many fantastic wines from such vineyards, whose generally sunny but cooler slopes produce slower maturing fruit that often has a distinct brightness and juiciness that I find hard to resist. Everyone knows Napa... continue reading
What's a little bit of Cabernet between friends? Depends on who you ask. In California a little dash of Cabernet in your Merlot, or vice versa would hardly be cause for comment. Technically, in order to have the words "Cabernet Sauvignon" on the label, only 75% of the wine has to be Cabernet. In Italy, however, the largest wine scandal in decades has recently erupted over a little bit of Cabernet and Merlot mixed in with Sangiovese. In an incident that is already being referred to as Brunellogate, several prominent winegrowers in Tuscany are facing prosecution on charges of adulterating... continue reading
Review by Christy McGill. Have you ever daydreamed about a different life? Perhaps one set in some sun-dappled, far-flung wine-making countryside where rows of grape vines bursting with perfect fruit are transformed with the help of your touch into magnificent wine? A better question might be—has anyone with even a cursory interest in wine actually not harbored this fantasy? Eric Arnold, a 20-something former joke and copywriter decided to chuck it all, leave New York and take his version of that daydream to the next level. What resulted is First Big Crush: The Down and Dirty on Making Great Wine... continue reading
For the dedicated wine drinker, every holiday is a wine holiday. Not like we really need an excuse to celebrate wine, of course, but if you're going to celebrate anything, its best to do it with wine. Of course, certain holidays lend themselves more to a wine theme than others, and Earth Day may be one of the most wine friendly around. When you're busy celebrating the Earth and our environment, what better way is there to celebrate than to drink something that is truly the product of that Earth? Add to this the fact that Spring is in the... continue reading

The Loire Valley is perhaps one of the most underrated and unexplored (by most Americans) wine producing regions in France. So often eclipsed by the bombast of Bordeaux, Burgundy, and the Rhone, if it is known at all, the Loire tends to be known for its famous Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre. Yet the region, which is the largest white wine producing region in France, and the third largest winegrowing appellation (AOC) in the country, also produces many excellent red wines, chiefly from Cabernet Franc. The most dominating feature of the Loire Valley must be the river itself, France's longest and... continue reading
Some days are better for wine news than others, but today was particularly special, as the wine world was out in force.

Sake brewing has a long and storied history in Japan, and because of the island nation's relative isolation, many breweries can trace their origins back several centuries. Such timelines make it possible to suggest with only the smallest hint of jest, that having only been founded in 1885, Obata Shuzo is a relatively new kid on the sake brewing block. Yososaku Obata opened his brewery in 1885 on an island off the western coast of Japan's Niigata prefecture. A vintage photograph of the founder shows him dressed in a western suit, with a handlebar mustache that most Italian's would... continue reading

As a Green Life Examiner, one might question the connection to Pretty Funny Women. I support women, that's the connection and how much greener could I be? Women's Issues are huge. And last night's lineup of Pretty Funny Women at Flappers in Burbank all are real women with real issues. Frankly, I laughed from the moment emcee Kimrie Davis began the 8:00 set.
In 1996, founder and funny lady Lisa Sundstedt started Pretty Funny Women to fill a niche providing female comedians with training designed by a woman. Today Pretty, Funny Women is the longest running, all female stand-up comedy show in the country. Pretty Funny Women are not females trying to act like male comedians. These are women discussing body issues, men, women, recycling boyfriends and girlfriends, ( green again!) alcoholism, lesbianism, sexism and child birth. Issues that affect women without leaving out men. And the audience was definitely not predominately female. This was the Main Room at Flappers Comedy Club and it was packed to standing room, with every race and gender of people.
According to Sundstedt, "I created a platform for women to be women. I don't book comics who are too dirty or unoriginal. Rape jokes, abortion jokes, "I'm a whore" jokes or any of the other easy "go to" premises that new comics often tend to gravitate toward are frowned upon unless they are incredibly smart. Sarah Silverman does that beautifully...why bother?" Sundstedt said.
"My show is unapologetic, clean, irreverent and girlie. I love beautiful women and in my opinion, there is nothing more powerful than a smart, funny, attractive woman who owns her sexuality. Pretty, Funny Women are not self deprecating, mean or raunchy. A Pretty Funny Woman is a woman who is genuinely true to herself. I encourage all of my students to discover their unique voice, find the beauty within and celebrate it!"
Last night's line up of comediennes included Bergin Williams, Emily Wassler, Jianine Giorgio, Karla Watkins, Lindsey Reckis, Marguerite Henry, Mindy Lipton, Samantha Hale, Tammy Taveres andTory Shulman with Lisa Sundstedt performing the finale. I have not been so impressed with a comedy troupe like this in many years. That is also the reason I list all of them by name. These women have the potential and the performance skills to go big. As to Lisa Sundstedt, her set was incredible. Granted she is their teacher, however she went on and played the audience like a piano. Sundstedt raises the bar on comediennes not ony by training and putting out solid talent but by her own terrific performance.
Over 500 women are now Pretty Funny Women alumnae with 100's of regular comics who perform on the show as well.
According to Sundstedt, "Pretty Funny Women started as a show in 96 with a showcase added when I started teaching in 2005," Sundstedt said. "I now mainly book my alumni students on every line up."
Comediennes from Pretty Funny Women are regularly seen on network television series, national commercials sitcoms, Comedy Central Specials and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Well know funny women featured in Pretty Funny Women include Sarah Silverman, Chelsea Handler, Sherri Shepherd, Margaret Cho and Aisha Tyler.

The New Orleans Saints ended the Detroit Lions' season late Saturday night and were back at work Sunday morning, preparing for an NFC divisional playoff game at the San Francisco 49ers. Is there no time to celebrate?
That task will come Saturday at Candlestick Park when New Orleans (14-3) takes its offensive juggernaut up against a defense some consider the best in the NFL. The 49ers (13-3) didn't allow a rushing touchdown until the final game of the regular season as Coach Jim Harbaugh took what was a doormat team to the No. 2 seed in the NFC.
On the surface, the matchup would seem something of an old-fashioned slugfest. Asked if it would require a different approach by the Saints, however, Coach Sean Payton bristled a bit at an imagined slight."We like to run the ball as well," he began, before continuing with staccato sentences. "Yesterday, we had 170 (167) yards rushing. We feel like that's an important element to what we do. San Francisco runs the ball very well. Certainly, they're a different type team than Detroit, but that's part of the postseason and playing teams that are different. Obviously, we play on the road in a tough environment. They've had a great formula this year, and Jim Harbaugh has done a great job. They're playing great defense. They've been real opportunistic on offense. They've done a good job with balance, and they've made some big plays. Alex Smith has really had an outstanding season. Without really jumping into that game, there's a reason these guys are the No. 2 seed."
Payton, locked into playoff mode, was equally dismissive of other questions, such as whether the Saints would benefit mentally by coming back from a halftime deficit against the Lions and whether New Orleans is shakier on the road than at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
"You win 13, 14 games now, and you're trying to find something," he shot back to a question about the Saints' three road losses. "You know, I think when you start playing well on the road, and at home you're probably a better team, and we've been able to do that."Greer also took issue with the notion the Saints are weaker away than at home. New Orleans fought the Packers to the wire in the opener at Green Bay, then lost at Tampa Bay and St. Louis in weeks 6 and 8. The Saints then won their last three road games against Atlanta, Tennessee and Minnesota.
"We feel like we have had some success on the road -- those losses were early, when we were creating our identity, creating who the 2011 Saints were going to be," Greer said. "And I believe we have established who we are, and when we take it on the road we just continue to do what we do. So it doesn't matter if we play at home or on the road. I think we have established our identity as a team. No matter the venue, we're the same."
Linebacker Jonathan Vilma said he believed the team has established a solid record there the past three seasons.
"The numbers say so," he said. "We were 5-3 this year, 6-2 last year. Depending on the year before, I don't know if anybody had a better record than that. We are a pretty good road team. I think we travel pretty well."
Payton will take the Saints west Thursday afternoon, giving the team an extra day to acclimate to a different time zone, and hold a walk-through Friday at Candlestick Park. Vilma said some players might feel a bit "sluggish," spending two days in a hotel, but he and other players said the slight change in format shouldn't upset a veteran team.
"There is a time difference, and it takes a day or two to get adjusted," Greer said. "Our coaching staff and our upper level management do a great job of making sure that they plan accordingly and give us the best possible schedule to make us successful. That's a testament to the logistics of football. People don't realize that there's so much more than just running, catching the ball and hitting. You really have to plan for success, and that's one thing our coaching staff does a great job of doing."

Chronic Health Disorders
A wide range of medical conditions and health disorders exist in this category as they can functionally limit an individual in one or more major life activities. Some of these disorders include:
- Cardiovascular Disease/Impairments
- Cystic Fibrosis
- Diabetes
- Cancer
- Epilepsy
- Gastro–Intestinal Diseases
- Hepataties
- Multiple Sclorosis
- Renal Disease
- Severe Asthma
These disorders can affect the individual's cognitive and/or motor functions' and cause fatigue. Individuals report that these disorders are often acute by nature but on occasion their conditions "flare–up" and present temporary functional limitations. Because of the unpredictability of such conditions and the impact that symptoms present to the college student' the Disability Resource Center (DRC) suggests that students who have such disorders should register and provide medical documentation about their particular disorders. DRC staff will determine if the student qualifies to receive accommodations. Services that may be available to individuals with chronic health or medical impairments include:
- Priority registration
- Test accommodations
- Arranging for special housing needs
- Parking
Students are reminded that an adequate amount of time is needed' once they have provided medical documentation' to evaluate their accommodation request and review their records and approve accommodations. Students are strongly advised to register with the Disability Resourced Center before starting their first academic term.
To see if you qualify or to get additional information contact the Disability Resource Center at (859) 257–2754.

Dedes, J. Acquired vorinostat resistance shows partial cross-resistance to "second-generation" HDAC inhibitors and correlates with loss of histone acetylation and apoptosis but not with altered HDAC and HAT activities. 2010, University of Zurich, Faculty of Medicine.
Histonedeacetylase(HDAC)inhibitors such as vorinostat (suberoylanilide hydroxamicacid), valproicacid,romidepsin (FK-228), and LBH589 comprise a relatively new class of potentanti canceragents. This study provides evidence for the potential of vorinostat to cause acquisition of multi drug resistance protein-independent resistance in HCT116 colon tumor cells. This acquired resistance is moderate(two-foldtothree-fold), is non-reversible, and correlates with the loss of responses typically seen with HDAC-inhibitors, that is the loss of acetylation of thehistones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, the loss of the G2/M checkpoint activation, and the loss of caspase 3-dependent and caspase 7-dependent apoptosis. This acquired resistance also associates with cross-resistance to the hydroxamate-class(LBH589 and JNJ26481585)and to the aliphaticacid-class(valproicacid)HDAC inhibitors but not tothebenzamide-class(MGCD0103)and the cyclic peptide-class(romidepsin) HDAC inhibitors. The acquired HDAC inhibitor resistance described here.

UK courier roller race championships, 19th February, Horseshoe
23.01.10 by Buffalo Bill
Describing the last 2 messengerpaluzas as amongst the most atmospheric Rollapaluzas ever, (by which I think they mean noisy, unruly and, most importantly, fun), the guys at Rollapaluza have announced that there will be a roller race, open only to working couriers, which they have titled the UK Courier Roller Race Championships or
Rollapaluza Goldsprints 2010, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the revival of roller-racing as a spectacle in the UK.
The Horseshoe was the venue for the very first London courier roller race, then called 'Goldsprint', after the Swiss version, and a very fine venue it is too. More on the history of Rollapaluza here, results from last year's Messengerpaluza II, and Messengerpaluza I.
Lots more stuff, reports and pics of Rollapaluza before it went big, is on this site. Go to the Moving Target contents page and click Rollapaluza, but here are some of my favourite bits:

It's been ten years since Johan Hedberg played in the American Hockey League, but the 40-year-old goaltender might see that streak come to end after signing a professional tryout contract with the Albany Devils on Thursday.
With a lower-body injury preventing Keith Kinkaid from playing, Hedberg joined the team yesterday, taking part in practice at Times Union Center.
The signing of Hedberg, who the Devils bought out over the summer after acquiring Cory Schneider from the Vancouver Canucks, is just the latest in goaltender news that has followed the organization all season long.
"I really wasn't sure what it was,"Hedberg said according to the Albany Devils website. "I thought I was just going to practice today, but they might need me over the weekend. At the same time, I was excited and it's going to be a lot of fun to play a game- if that happens."
The Devils have three games over the next three days, beginning tonight when they host the Hershey Bears at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall, so there's a good shot Hedberg will get in for at least one of them after getting some practice time in with the Devils' squad. Scott Wedgewood is slotted to be between the pipes tonight.
"He's a veteran guy, so you can see how comfortable he looks in there," Head Coach Rick Kowalsky said. "He hasn't skated a whole bunch, but has certainly been on the ice and he was still involved in training camp. So we get him on the ice today, get him on the ice tomorrow and maybe, hopefully, get him on the ice Saturday and go from there."
The Sweden native spent the previous three seasons with the New Jersey Devils, posting a 38-29-7 record in his 80 appearances. In his overall NHL career, he collected 161 wins with a 2.82 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage in 373 contests.
Hedberg was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in 1994 but was never invited to camp like they promised they would if he made the Swedish national team, which he did.

Mozilla launches pre-alpha build of Fennec on Android (Update)
For those of you who haven't heard of mobile Firefox a.k.a. Fennec, Mozilla's free mobile Web browser for all open platforms, come on, really? You haven't heard of Fennec at all? You can't be serious, can you?
That aside, Mozilla has just announced the availability of a pre-alpha build of Fennec for Android smartphones from the T-Mobile G1 to the HTC Droid Incredible. Though the devs behind it openly admit that they've only really tested the pre-alpha build on a couple of phones (namely, the Droid and Nexus One), this should work on all Android phones with an Internet connection.
The devs warn of several unavoidable bugs and crashes that accompany the software, but say that this is due to the fact that it's only a pre-alpha build that's being made available because it is in a usable state. There's even an experimental version of Weave that's compatible with this version of Fennec, also available for download to Android phones.
For more info on how to try out this pre-alpha Fennec build on Android, check out the developer blog link below.
Update: Commenter Matt Brubeck was quick to point out that this pre-alpha build of Fennec will only work on phones running Android 2.0 or later. He adds, "…phones like the G1 that are still running Android 1.6 will not work (except maybe if you have rooted them and installed a custom ROM)."

White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. -- The New Orleans Saints knew they'd have days like Monday when they decided to hold training camp at the Greenbrier.
The skies opened up almost as soon as the first horn sounded for morning practice, and didn't relent throughout the afternoon. It wasn't a steamy, mid-summer New Orleans shower either.
Instead, the conditions were more reminiscent of the Saints curtain call in Seattle last January, when a steady rain poured down and temperatures plummeted from 48 degrees at kickoff. The end result was a 23-15 loss.
The temperature in West Virginia held steady at 65 degrees, but the feeling was basically the same: miserable.
It's rare the Saints practice in the rain, except for certain occasions when the team is trying to prepare for an outdoor opponent. When it rains at the facility in Metairie, the team halts practice and held into the indoor facility.
There is no indoor practice field at the Greenbrier. So unless there's lightning, the Saints have to play through the conditions outdoors.

text: FULVIA PROTOTYPE A milestone in the history of Lancia, and one of the most successful rally cars of all time, the Fulvia was an iconic design of the 1960s and '70s, and the first coupé ever to achieve higher sales than the saloon from which it was derived. The Fulvia Coupé is highly desirable not only to collectors and enthusiasts, but to Lancia designers too. That is why this prototype, while celebrating the past, also looks to the future. The brief was very clear: no unnecessary nostalgia, simply a postmodern interpretation of the original concept and lines. Priority was to be given to creating fresh and dynamic lines, and to re-creating the feeling conveyed by the original Fulvia Coupé, designed by Castagnero in 1965: a refined mix of originality, elegance, aesthetic rigour and sporting performance. The result is a completely modern coupé, packed with design and engineering solutions capable of inspiring future production at Lancia, and loaded with great evocative power. A splendid bridge between yesterday and tomorrow.

Partnership with Baywood
Banner Heart Hospital patients benefit from its location next to Banner Baywood Medical Center, the East Valley's only Accredited Chest Pain Center.
Baywood earned this accreditation for having a high level of expertise in treating patients with heart-attack symptoms.
The accreditation recognizes the availability of emergency treatment options on one medical campus through Banner Baywood's Emergency department and Banner Heart's advanced cardiac care, which offers catheterization procedures.
Hospitals that receive accreditation by the Society of Chest Pain Centers emphasize the importance of diagnostic and treatment programs that provide more efficient and effective evaluation, as well as more appropriate and rapid treatment of patients with chest pain and other heart attack symptoms.
To become an Accredited Chest Pain Center, Banner Baywood was rigorously evaluated for its ability to assess, diagnose, and treat patients who may be experiencing a heart attack. The accreditation shows Banner Baywood excels at:
- Reducing the time from onset of symptoms to diagnosis and treatment
- Treating patients more quickly during the critical window of time to limit damage to the heart
- Monitoring patients to make sure they are not sent home too quickly or needlessly admitted to the hospital

Category: unusual boy names
Looking for a classic boys' name that's also unusual?
Way beyond the Williams and Henrys you hear every day are dozens of boys' names that achieve this golden combination. These names have deep roots and have been used for centuries, yet are given to only a handful of boys each year.
These classic boys' names include choices from ancient cultures and the Bible, names sailing out of style (So long, Sherman) along with those heading in: Welcome, Grey, Linus, and Finnian!
Here, more than 100 classic boys' names you'll find hiding below the U.S. Top 1000, ordered from those given to the most babies in 2012 (Gordon, at 194) to the least (Mercury, at just five):
Reading the latest birth announcement from England's Telegraph newspaper, I can't help thinking that a lot of the names, while wonderful, might give many sensible parents pause.
Wilfred may be cool, after all, but it's also undeniably nerdy – by choosing this name, am I condemning my child to playground marginalization? Is Zephyr too wacky, Ophelia too tragic?
The question isn't really, Do you dare to give these names to your children, but should you dare?
As many Britberries have pointed out, the names usually found in the Telegraph represent not widespread British naming trends but eccentric aristocratic tastes, so perhaps most of us aren't debating the merits of Digby and Venetia in any case.
Before we focus on our question, a few trendlets to note: Several girls named Jessica. Middle names Tom, Sue, and Adventure. And in a reversal of American style, boys' names generally more daring than girls'.
Back to the issue at hand: What do you think of these adventurous, intriguing, but perhaps too-challenging names taken from recent Telegraph birth announcements? Would they work in the U.S….or anywhere else, for that matter?
Cool unusual boys' names come in styles to suit every taste. Some of our favorite types:
Best Cool Unusual Biblical Boys' Names — Are there really any good unusual boys' names left in the Bible? Beyond Aaron and Asher, we've got hundreds of cool biblical names.
Undiscovered Classic Names for Boys — These classic boys' names have fallen off the radar but deserve a fresh look.
Cool Modern Names for Boys — Surname names newly used as first, place names and word names, and newly-invented names that sound fresh and cool…here's what's new in cool names for boys.
The boys' names here are the best of all different styles. They're highly unusual, given to only ten or fewer boys in the US. These rare choices include names both classic and new-fangled, plain and fancy — as long as they are cool.
Among the 100 best are several names that are among our all-time favorites: Barnaby and Birch, Jupiter and Rafferty, Osias and Witt.
And there are many more great choices on the bottom rungs of the extended popularity list. You can download the complete list here.
If it's the Best 100 Cool Unusual Girls' Names you're interested in, click here.
Our picks for the Top 100 Cool Unusual Boys' Names are:
Forget Oranjello and Lemonjello: We're not talking about bizarre baby name urban legends here. We don't want to know that your sister-in-law's cousin's best friend works as a delivery room nurse and swears some clueless mom named her daughter Female.
Nor are we noting strange celebrity baby names, as it's not just you alone who's heard of starbabies Moxie, Apple, and Bronx Mowgli. Names from movies, books, and television don't count either.
What we want to hear are the most unusual real-life names you've ever heard. As in: I shook this person's hand. Lived next door to her. Maybe even gave birth to him and chose his incredibly unusual name myself.
Any details you can give us about the name's origins and meaning would be appreciated because, you know, we can never get enough.
The mythical secret vault of truly unique baby names is real, but only the US government holds the key.
To protect privacy, the Social Security Administration doesn't release names given to only one child, drawing the line at five or more. So the names given to five babies are the most unique we're able to learn about. Most of those on that rarefied level are tortured spellings of more familiar names: Mikeila and Scarlotte, Masun and Stanlee. And there are truly terrible names at the depths of the extended list too, as detailed in our recent blog.
But then there are those nearly unique baby names that are eminently usable, ripe for the picking for the parent who truly wants a distinctive choice. These are not for everybody, but we found over 50 excellent choices that were used for just five children each in 2012. Among them are names that are among our all-time favorites, such as Petal and Tiernan for girls, O'Brien and Poe for boys.
Our favorite nearly-unique (given to just five children) baby names:

Arielle Medina Madrid, Fall 2011
Arielle's Posts
Memories of Madrid
I consider my choice to study abroad as one of the best decisions I have ever made because it opened my eyes to new cultures, pushed me to speak Spanish and improve my speaking and writing skills, and allowed me the biggest sense of independence I have ever felt in my life.
My Madrid top 5
After living in Madrid for the past 3 months I have decided to come up with a list of top five things to do/see if you need ideas:
Tips for economizing your time in Madrid
With the value of the dollar as low as it is now I found myself faced with the dilemma of how to stretch my budget as best as I could during my time in Madrid.
Reflexiones del semestre en Madrid
I am once again finding myself filled with mixed emotions as my departure date nears: excited to return home to my family and friends and sad to leave behind the wonders of Madrid and all the great people I have met and the friendships I have formed.
DoUBLIN' the fun
As I write this I am sitting in the airport with an hour to kill before my flight takes off for Madrid. I am quite sad to leave because I had such a wonderful time. I know I will for sure be back one day!
Falling in love with Spain
While I love the sun, I love the fall even more. The color of the leaves have changed, and now envelope the pathway that I walk in the park to get to school each morning.
"Hitch-hiking" the backroads of Milan…
I highly recommend all those traveling through Europe to go to Italy; not only is it beautiful with many sights to see, but the food alone is the worth the trip!
Culinary Adventures
As a self declared foodie I have enjoyed trying different types of Spanish food…however I have been very limited with what I have been able to try due to my distaste for pork, red meat, and all seafood.
Mallorca and Barcelona
During our trip, we had each bought some souvenirs, and beach towels, so packing took us a while. I have discovered that packing is an art form…one that I should learn to master for all of my trips.
Discotecas, Jersey Shore, and Spilled Drinks
Last night was my first official night out in Madrid…Well kind of…because I attempted to go to a club or "discoteca" as they are called here, during my first few weeks in Spain.
Read this if you don't want to get hit by a bus in Madrid…and other useful facts
So one of my professors had us come up with a list of useful knowledge to know while traveling/ living in Spain. Here are some facts I find very helpful:
What's the Portuguese word for_____?
I have an hour and a half to kill before my next class, and since free time is harder and harder to come by now that class has started I have decided to take this opportunity to sum up was has happened since I last blogged.
Primera Semana
Although I've been in Madrid for just under a week, it feels like I've been here for a while. A lot has happened since I last blogged…so I'll go ahead and fill everyone in:
Pre-departure Ramblings
With one week left in Idaho I am finding myself with mixed emotions as my departure date draws near. While I am super excited, I am also very nervous and stressed out with everything I need to accomplish before I leave.

In time it happens to the best of them. A paranormal venue, with years of satisfying the general public and paranormal investigators under their belt, rolls to a sudden halt. And it's an abrupt halt…with both feet on the brake petal!
There will be no more affiliation with the paranormal and a future that, for the moment, is not being revealed.
Adios Hannah House.
The Italianate mansion was built along a then very rural stretch of road just south of Indianapolis on what is now Madison Avenue. Legend proclaims the house was used as part of the Indiana connection with the Underground Railroad. Ties with the paranormal gave birth shortly after. The story goes that a group of slaves hiding in the basement died as the result of a tragic fire. Owner Alexander Hannah, not wanting to be associated with housing slaves, buried those bodies in the basement. That seems to be what got the ball rolling. Hannah House became a recipient of spectral activity which continues to this day, including shadows, voices, moans, whispers, and cold spots. There have been reported sightings of Hannah himself and that of an older woman. These are not confined to just the house, but the grounds also.
After a long history of yearly incarnations as a Halloween "haunted house" (I went to a couple during my high school years and this was in the 1970s), public and private overnight investigations, and the annual August Paranormal Meet & Greet which managed to bring the curious public together with paranormal groups for a day on the house's lawn, the new owners of Hannah House have decided—no more! Keys have been collected, lock codes changed, volunteers dismissed, and paranormal speculation shown the door. However, Hannah House's website has not indicated otherwise that the focus has even changed; it gives the appearance that it is business as usual. That very well may change in the near future.
So, where does the Hannah House go from here? Will the historical tours of the house and grounds continue? Will they still house wedding ceremonies and Easter egg hunts? And what of the spirits that have taken up residence? Will they now sink into the woodwork and remain quiet?
What happens when a paranormal venue comes to an end? Investigators are an ambitious bunch…they move on rather quickly, and often without looking back. There's a lot of ground to cover and they tend to hit this ground running. Investigating the Hannah House will be missed—for awhile—until another venue captures their imagination (there's always one on the horizon) and the Hannah House becomes nothing more than a distant and fond memory.
Those not familiar with the history, and driving by the stately mansion at 3801 Madison Avenue, may take a quick look out their window and wonder—"That place sure looks like a haunted house…." If only they knew the whole story!
Maybe the new owners, given time, will reconsider their decision and allow paranormal investigations to resume. On the financial end, the substantial monies collected for weekend investigations go a heck of a long way towards repairs and restoration. And then there's the "keep the interest" factor that retains the Hannah House on the radar. When it drops off, it's hard to get back; in some cases, impossible.
Indiana's Black Moon Manor debacle had run its course and deserved to end: its time had come. Hannah House, on the other hand, still has life. And much like a clock, it is still ticking.
Maybe, just maybe….

Is the expression "Liver's ability to detoxify alcohol was tested..." grammatically correct? Can it also be used for genes, for example: "C-MYC's role in cancer is well known". This is, can gene molecules, organs and other body parts be used as such in sentences like the ones in the examples?

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Sure, livers, genes etc. possess properties. In english, that possession is often indicated via an apostrophe ess.
I presume you're asking about the -'s possessive suffix. There's no problem with that. There is a problem, however, with the use of Liver in
Without an article, liver is a meat, a mass noun like beef, never treated as a count noun:
(Well, almost never; Hannibal Lector is an outlier. But the fact that the thought occurs is why the count construction's avoided.)
Presumably, this sentence is about an experiment. Generally, the construction used there would be a Definite Generic The liver.
... and, one more quibble. Epistemologically, one can't actually "test" a generic; the generic liver doesn't exist and is not available for testing -- it's a platonic ideal.

Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router Hardware Installation Notes
This installation note contains basic installation instructions for rack-mounting and connecting power to the Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router. For complete installation instructions, refer to the Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router Hardware Installation Guide.
This document contains these sections:
•Installing the SN 5428-2 Chassis
•Obtaining Technical Assistance
Safety Overview
Throughout this publication, safety warnings appear in procedures that may harm you if performed incorrectly. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement.
Warning This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, you must be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents.
Warning Before you install, operate, or service the system, read the Site Preparation and Safety Guide. This guide contains important safety information you should know before working with the system. To see translated versions of the warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety document that accompanied the device.
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment.
SN 5428-2 Basic Description
The SN 5428-2 Storage Router is a 1U rack-mountable chassis (see Figure 1) with two 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports, a serial console port, a 10/100 Ethernet management port, a 10/100 Ethernet high availability (HA) port, and eight Fibre Channel ports.
Figure 1 SN 5428-2 Storage Router Chassis
Site Planning
Planning the proper location and layout of your SN 5428-2 Storage Router, your equipment rack, or wiring closet is essential for successful storage router operation. Equipment placed too close together or in an inadequately ventilated area can cause system overtemperature conditions. In addition, poor equipment placement can make system panels inaccessible and difficult to maintain.
To ensure normal operation and to avoid unnecessary maintenance, plan your site configuration and prepare your site before installation.
The Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router Hardware Installation Guide lists the operating and nonoperating environmental site requirements for the SN 5428-2 Storage Router. Within specified environmental ranges the system can continue to operate; however, a measurement that approaches the minimum or maximum of a range indicates a potential problem. You can maintain normal operation by anticipating and correcting environmental conditions before they exceed the maximum operating range.
Verify the site power for the type of device you are installing. Power requirements are useful for planning the power distribution system needed to support the storage router. Heat dissipation is an important consideration for sizing the air-conditioning requirements for an installation. See the Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router Hardware Installation Guide for power and heat ratings for the storage router.
Caution To prevent a loss of input power, verify that the total maximum load on the circuit supplying power to the power supply is within the current ratings of the wiring and breakers.
Installing the SN 5428-2 Chassis
You can install the SN 5428-2 chassis on a table or a shelf, or in an equipment rack. The following sections describe the steps required to install the SN 5428-2 chassis:
•Installing on a Table or a Shelf
•Rack-Mounting the SN 5428-2 Storage Router
•Attaching the Optional Cable Guide
Before installing the storage router, read the Site Preparation and Safety Guide to familiarize yourself with proper site and environmental conditions.
Installing on a Table or a Shelf
To install the chassis on a table or a shelf, follow these steps:
Step 1 Locate the four adhesive-backed rubber feet. They are in the accessory kit that is shipped with the storage router.
Step 2 Peel the rubber feet from their backing and place the feet, adhesive-side down, onto the four round recessed areas on the bottom of the chassis.
Step 3 Place the storage router on a table or a shelf near an AC power source.
Rack-Mounting the SN 5428-2 Storage Router
You can rack-mount the SN 5428-2 Storage Router chassis in a 19-inch equipment rack with the front panel forward.
You need the following tools to install the storage router in a rack:
•#2 Phillips screwdriver
•Tape measure
To install the storage router in a rack, follow these steps:
Step 1 Locate the following rack-mount components in the accessory kit shipped with your storage router:
•Two mounting brackets labeled RIGHT and LEFT. (See Figure 2.)
•Two sets of rack rails. Each set consists of a rail labeled FRONT and a rail labeled REAR. (See Figure 3.)
•Two cable guides (with black mounting screws).
•Assorted screws and fasteners (use as needed).
Figure 2 Mounting Brackets
Figure 3 Rack Rails
Step 2 Prepare for installation as follows:
a. Measure the depth of the rack from the outside of the front mounting posts to the outside of the rear mounting rails. The depth must be at least 23.5 inches (59.7 cm) but not more than 34 inches (86.36 cm).
b. Measure the space between the inner edges of the left-front and right-front mounting posts to ensure that the space for the chassis is at least 17.72 inches (45 cm) wide.
Step 3 Remove two screws from the right side and two screws from the left side of the chassis. (See Figure 4.)
Figure 4 Removing Screws from the Sides
Step 4 Using the screws removed in Step 3, attach the right and left mounting brackets (labeled RIGHT and LEFT) to the chassis. The brackets extend beyond the rear of the chassis. (See Figure 5.)
Figure 5 Attaching the Mounting Brackets
Step 5 Assemble and mount the rack rails as follows:
a. Assemble the rack rails by sliding the front and rear brackets into each other. (See Figure 6.)
Figure 6 Assembling the Rack Rails
Note In the next step, just finger-tighten the screws; you will tighten them completely after the chassis has been inserted into the rack in Step 8.
Step 6 Align the holes in the rails with mounting holes in the rack. Ensure that the rails are level from front to rear and side to side. (See Figure 7.)
Step 7 Attach the front of each rail by screwing one screw through the front top hole of the rail into a corresponding hole in the mounting post. (See Figure 7.) Attach the rear of each rail by screwing two screws through the rear holes of the rail into the corresponding holes in the mounting post.
Figure 7 Attaching the Rails to the Rack
Step 8 Slide the chassis into the rack. Press in the side spring tabs, if necessary, so that the chassis slides fully into the rack. (See Figure 8.)
Figure 8 Sliding the Chassis into the Rack
Step 9 Secure the chassis to the rack:
a. Screw one screw through the bottom hole in the front of the mounting bracket into the corresponding hole in the mounting post. (See Figure 9.)
b. Tighten all screws so that the chassis fits securely in the rack.
Figure 9 Securing the Chassis to the Rack
Note To remove the chassis from the rack, unscrew bottom screws at the fronts of the mounting brackets, and pull chassis out of rack, pressing in the side spring tabs until the chassis clears the rack rails.
Attaching the Optional Cable Guide
Two cable guides are included in the accessory kit shipped with the SN 5428-2 Storage Router. If the storage router is installed in a rack, you can attach the cable guides to the left and right rail brackets using the supplied black screws. (See Figure 10.) Attaching the cable guides will prevent the cables from obscuring the front panel of the storage router and the other devices in the rack.
Figure 10 Attaching the Cable Guides
Connecting Power
The SN 5428-2 Storage Router can be connected to either of two power sources: 115-120 VAC/60 Hz or 230-240 VAC/50 Hz. The power supply automatically senses the source and adjusts to either source.
To connect power to the storage router, follow these steps:
Step 1 Ensure that all site power and grounding requirements described in the Site Preparation and Safety Guide have been met before connecting the chassis to a power source.
Step 2 Make sure the power switch is set to off. (See Figure 11.)
Figure 11 Power Set to Off
Step 3 Plug the power cord into the power receptacle located on the rear panel on the chassis. (See Figure 12.)
Figure 12 Connecting a Power Cord to the SN 5428-2 Power Connector
Step 4 Connect the other end of the power cord to the power source for the storage router.
Where to Go Next
Once you have installed the SN 5428-2 Storage Router hardware as described in this document, refer to the SN 5428-2 Storage Router Hardware Configuration Guide for instructions on connecting network and Fibre Channel cables and verifying correct installation.

Billie Holiday: Lover Man (1944)
Lover Man
Billie Holiday (vocals)
Billie Holiday's Greatest Hits (Decca GRD-653)
Billie Holiday (vocals),
Russ Case (trumpet), Hymie Schertzer, Jack Cressey (alto saxes), Larry Binyon, Paul Ricci (tenor saxes), Dave Bowman (piano), Carl Kress (guitar), unidentified string section, Haig Stephens (bass), Johnny Blowers (drums).
Composed by Jimmy Davis, Jimmy Sherman & Roger "Ram" Ramirez. Arranged and conducted by Toots Camarata.
Recorded: New York, October 4, 1944
Rating: 84/100 (learn more)
According to her autobiography, Billie Holiday begged Decca Records to let her record "Lover Man" with strings. "People don't understand the kind of fight it takes," she wrote, "to record what you want to record the way you want to record it." She got her way, but it was a Pyrrhic victory. What ever made Billie think that she and schmaltz would be well matched? Her singing is amazing as always. But Toots Camarata's syrupy fiddles and lugubrious tempo diminish Billie's dignity, not enhance it. "Sometimes," Billie conceded, "it's worse to win a fight than to lose." Amen to that.

July 4th, 2013 Fireworks Shows in and Near Flint and Genesee County
Looking to celebrate July 4, 2013 with a bang? Well, we've compiled a list of the best fireworks shows this year in Flint, Genesee County and the surrounding areas for you...
Looking to celebrate July 4, 2013 with a bang? Well, we've compiled a list of the best fireworks shows this year in Flint, Genesee County and the surrounding areas for you...
If you were out of town last night or didn't have a chance to head downtown and check out the fireworks in Flint, no worries I got you. I shot this video from the top of the Rutherford Parking Garage in downtown Flint.
Enjoy the grand finale and just pretend you were there with me!
The legend of America's birth is only 236 years old. However, in that short amount of time, a number of legends that would normally take centuries to grow and multiply in any other civilization have sprung up.
I actually saw someone post on Facebook that 13 years ago today, Bill Pullman led the world to independence against an alien invasion . . . and that was the real reason we celebrate.
While I'm 90% sure he was kidding (only 90 because you just never know), the idea does have some merit. Some people took it to the streets of NYC to see if they could inspire people.
I've said it for a long time, but Michigan is one of the greatest places in the United States any time of year. The 4th of July is no different as 'The Mitten" offers up everything you need for a great Independence Day celebration.
Here's a look at some interesting events that took place on this day in history:
1776 – The United States Declaration of Independence is adopted by the Second Continental Congress (More info)
1826 – Former presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both die on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence (More info)
The 4th of July is more than just grilling out and trying to blow things up in the back yard! It's always capped off by some of the biggest and best fireworks around.
Here is where and when you can find the fireworks display nearest to you.
With only a few days until the 4th of July, I figured we should probably show you what not to do. We've all burned our hand on a sparkler or tried to shoot a bottle rocket out of our hand.
I'm not saying don't try it, all I want you to do is see what happens if you do. Enjoy and have a safe and happy 4th!
Everyone knows the words to the National Anthem when they are singing with hundreds of other people at a local sporting event. Remembering the words when you are the only one singing to a crowd of ten thousand is a different story. Check out the best and worst of the song that everyone thinks they know.
Our founding fathers weren't messing around when they decided on red, white and blue. When it comes to planning a Fourth of July menu, neither should you. Three colors are more than enough to plan a five-star meal.
Below, check out some delicious recipes to help you celebrate our nation's birthday in style.

Seantrel Henderson thought he would miss season
Seantrel Henderson explained today why he was so animated when he was able to dress for his first game of the season. He was bouncing on the sideline throughout the Kansas State game two weeks ago.
The reason?
Henderson was just happy to be back.
A few months ago, that didn't seem possible because Henderson was wondering if he'd play this season. After he underwent preseason back surgery to repair a herniated disk in August, doctors told him there was a chance he could miss the entire year.
"They told me I was supposed to miss the season," Henderson said. "I didn't think I'd be back this fast."
Henderson said he began experiencing back pain in April. The injury occurred while he was doing squats in the weight room.
"I just kind of felt my leg just go dead," Henderson said. "It just went numb like that, as I came up. I didn't know exactly what it was. I thought I just I pulled a hip muscle. I didn't get an MRI until the day before we had the spring game."
Disappointment set in when Henderson envisioned missing the entire season. Doctors said he could miss anywhere from "six weeks to the whole season." He said it would slow progress in reaching his goals. After rigorous rehabbing, he said he's "pretty close" to reaching last year's form.
He played 11 snaps last week against Bethune-Cookman, with that total expected to increase Saturday at Virginia Tech. Despite spending the spring at left tackle, Henderson will play on the right side for now.
"I would eventually like to play left tackle," Henderson said. "But, honestly, I really don't care whether I play right or left. I just want to play."
–Henderson said he never planned to transfer in the offseason despite Internet rumors of his unhappiness in South Florida.
–Henderson weighs 345 pounds, 40 less than when he arrived on campus last summer.
–Coach Al Golden said he expects running back Eduardo Clements to remain in the rotation. Golden went far as saying he wished he went to Clements earlier last week against Bethune-Cookman.
–Running back Mike James continues to battle a turf toe injury.

Is it possible, that "of" is not an essential part of the verb in the relative clause? If not, I think I should accept the answer from Cool Elf.

Sept. 29, 2012
CHICAGO - The Northern Illinois women's tennis team fought hard in Day Two of the DePaul Invitational, ending the day with a chance to win five championships -- two of them being an all Huskie affair.
In Flight A of the doubles draw both Huskie teams clawed their way to the consolation championship. Haley Dekkinga (Allegan, Mich./Allegan) and Cristina Alvarez (Zaragoza, Spain/Cristorey and Sagrado Corazon De Jesus) took care of business with an 8-2 match victory over Barthels/Hamels (Valparasio). The pair of Nelle Youel (Crystal Lake, Ill./Crystal Lake Central) and Arantza De La Torre (San Luis Potosi, Mexico/Motolinia) also captured victory with an 8-6 decision over Sufi/Lawson (DePaul) to create an all Huskie consolation championship Sunday.
In Flight B of doubles the both NIU teams lost their only matches of the day. Mary Malkin (Tel Aviv, Israel/Alliance) and Ilse Pacheco (San Luis Potosí, Mexico/Alma Patria) went down 8-4 to Kurer/Skemp (Milwaukee) and Maria Rozo (Bogota, Columbia/Gimnasio Femenino) and Stephanie McDonald (Harare, Zimbabwe/St. Anne's Diocesan College) lost 8-2 against Abello/Nisbet (Illinois State).
In Flight A of singles there will be another all Huskie consolation championship as Youel and Dekkinga both won two matches to advance through. Youel's first match went in straight sets 6-1,6-1 against Ilives (Illinois State) and then she took out Soule (Milwaukee) in three sets 7-6,1-6,10-4. On the other side, Dekkinga battled through the field winning both matches in straight sets. The first was a 7-5, 6-4 decision against Ramynse (Western Michigan) and then her second was 6-0,6-0 sweep over against Hamel (Valparasio).
In Flight B De La Torre also advanced to a consolation championship as she took out Fredlake (Valparasio) in straight sets 6-3,6-0.
In Flight C McDonald was one of two Huskies to take the court as she lost in three sets 6-4,5-7,10-6 to Abello (Illinois State). The other Huskie, Malkin, advanced to the consolation championship thanks to O'Reilly (Valparasio) not being able to compete.
In Flight D the Huskies also had two take the court. Alvarez won her opening match in three sets 6-0, 4-6, 10-4 against Nguyen (Lewis) but then dropped her second against Nisbet (Illinois State) in straight sets 6-1,6-1. On the other side, Pacheco lost her only match in straight sets 6-1,6-4 to Phillips (Illinois State).
In Flight E Rozo fought her way to the championship match winning bother her matches on the day. Roso defeated Mills (Lewis) in straight sets 6-2,6-0 and took down Nisbest (Illinois State) 6-4,6-0. Also in Flight E was Sarah Boyd (Aurora, Ill./Alpha Omega Academy), who lost her only match to Paulson (Illinois State) in three sets 4-6,6-4,10-8.
"The way we bounced back today was awesome," said NIU Head Coach Ryun Ferrell. "We came into the day refocused -- I told them to make the opponent earn whatever they get. We still have a long way to go but I'm looking forward to Sunday. It was an overall good effort."
The Huskies will wrap up the invite tomorrow afternoon in their last event before the ITA Regionals Oct. 19-21 in Rockford, Ill.

In recent years, the term "Paleo diet" has been used to describe everything from the Atkins plan to processed energy bars. But when Kristin Cavallari says that she lost 20 pounds eating unprocessed vegetables and carefully chosen protein such as grass-fed beef and bison, she's talking about a true Paleo weight loss plan. As a result, she's almost restored her pre-baby body, reported the Inquisitr on July 13.
In addition to meaty meals, Kristin likes to snack on unprocessed high fat low carb diet foods. Among her favorites are almond butter, coconut oil and nuts.
She also tries to eat an all-organic diet, reported Fashion and Style magazine on July 12. As for the argument that women should not diet and exercise immediately after having a baby?
"I started working out when Jax was three weeks old," she said. "I've been working out four to five times a week for 30 to 45 minutes at home."
But although exercise counts, Kristin is a believer that diet trumps workouts. "My stomach needs the most work but that takes time more than anything and diet plays a huge role."
And in contrast to celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Jessica Simpson, who went on special diets to shed their baby weight, Kristin says that the Paleo-style low carb weight loss approach is her normal diet, reported Azcentral 12 News on July 12. ''My diet is always the same. I don't eat any toxic chemicals and I try to eat organic as often as possible.''
During her pregnancy, Kristin also made a point of eating Paleo-friendly low carb food. For example, she avoided sugary sports drink and sipped coconut water.
Chosen for Fit Pregnancy magazine's cover in the spring, Kristin revealed then that she views her diet as healthy. "I'm a very healthy eater, and I maintain that during pregnancy. I just give in to cravings more than normal."
She also worked out during her pregnancy, although she limited the amount of time that she devoted to the gym. "I work out 3-4 times a week, and I don't push myself too hard," Kristin clarified.
Most physicians recommend exercising during pregnancy, but it's important to talk with your own health care provider about your situation, according to the Mayo Clinic. Advantages of working out while you're pregnant include improved mood, better sleep, increased muscle strength and preventing excess weight gain.
If you want to try Kristin's weight loss success, is it necessary to pay for grass-fed beef and organic produce? Not if you can't afford it,says Paleo diet guru Robb Wolf.
In response to the argument that the Paleo low carb diet is too expensive, he says: "Well, grass-fed and organic are certainly optimal, but if you cannot afford it you cannot afford it. If it really matters to you, make sacrifices and make it happen."
However, Robb adds this qualifier: "You might need to shelve your idealism long enough to survive, and reverting to bagels is not the way to go." He suggests using "caveman accounting" and looking for specials on Paleo products such as coconut oil.
