Pac-10 Bowl Arrangements
The Pac-10 has guaranteed that four of its teams will appear in bowl games this postseason. The Rose Bowl gets the champion or winner of a tiebreaker if there are co-champions. If the Bowl Alliance does not invite a Pac-10 team, the second choice goes to the Cotton Bowl. If the Cotton Bowl chooses the WAC champion instead of a Pac-10 team, the Holiday Bowl will get the second choice of Pac-10 teams. The third choice of Pac-10 teams belongs to the Sun Bowl and the fourth choice goes to the Aloha Bowl. Furthermore, there are four bowl games with "open" slots, meaning it is possible for a fifth Pac-10 team with six Division I wins to be chosen. Bowl games with open slots are the Las Vegas Bowl, Motor City Bowl, Independence Bowl and Humanitarian Bowl.
Pac-10 Order of Choice
1. Rose Bowl
2. Bowl Alliance*
3. Cotton Bowl or Holiday Bowl^
4. Sun Bowl
5. Aloha Bowl
*The Bowl Alliance can, but is not obligated to, select a Pac-10 team
^If the Cotton Bowl selects the WAC champion instead of a Pac-10 team, the Holiday Bowl gets the choice
Pac-10 Rose Bowl Tie-Breaker Formula
The following is the Rose Bowl Tie Breaker formula for two- and multiple-team ties. If criteria 1 results in a tie, then criteria 2 is used. If criteria 2 still results in a tie, then criteria 3 is used and so on.
Two-Team Tie
If there is a tie for the conference championship, the Rose Bowl representative will be the:
1. Winner of head-to-head game
2. Team ranked first or second in the nation in the AP or Coaches poll.
3. Team with better overall record (so long as all opponents are Division I-A)
4. Team that has not played in the Rose Bowl for longest period of time
Multiple Ties
If there are three or more teams tied for the conference championship, the Rose Bowl representative will be the:
1. Team that has defeated all the others
2. Team ranked first or second in the AP or Coaches poll
3. Eliminate team defeated by all others and go to two-team tie formula
4. Eliminate team with worst overall record and go to two-team tie formula
5. Eliminate team with worst overall record and, if tied for worst overall record, most recently went to Rose Bowl and go to two-team tie formula.

College Hockey:Three things as we slide into the end of the first half of Big Ten play
It is strange to be talking about the end of the first half of Big Ten play when Big Ten play has barely begun, but the fact remains that the next league games are scheduled for the second week in January.
Three things from the weekend:
1. Hey! There was a shootout! I still hate the shootout!
Okay, so that's not really what you want to read — and it's not news to anyone — but I seriously hate the shootout and its carryover to Big Ten play does nothing to change my mind. Kudos to Michigan State for playing Minnesota to a tie and "winning" the first-ever Big Ten shootout, and against no less than Adam Wilcox. And for the record, winning the shootout does not mean winning the game. Got it?
Last week, my partner-in-writing insisted that the Minnesota-Michigan State series would come down to goaltending. I poo-pooed that idea, but it turns out he was right … but only because of the shootout. The Spartans got the better of it and earned two points to the Gophers' one Friday night, and Michigan State goaltender Jake Hildebrand looked outstanding in both the shootout and the series, making 79 saves on the weekend.
2. Hey! Michigan State scored last in each of its games against Minnesota!
The second effort of the Spartans in each game was impressive. Freshman Villiam Haag had the game-tying goal in the 2-2 Friday contest at 5:56 in the third, five minutes after the Gophers took a 2-1 lead. Sophomore Michael Ferrantino scored with one second left in regulation in Minnesota's 3-2 win Saturday, with Hildebrand pulled for the extra attacker. Sure, that goal was meaningless in the greater scheme of things, but it did give the Spartans a boost at the end of the series and they were upbeat in the locker room after the loss.
Equally impressive was the way in which Minnesota came out in Saturday's game and owned the first 10 minutes of play. The Gophers made sure that they didn't underestimate their opponent, didn't miss an opportunity and didn't waste any time.
3. Hey! Any Badger can score!
Okay, so maybe that's not entirely true, but nine different Badgers scored in Wisconsin's two-game sweep of Penn State, a series in which the Badgers outscored the Nittany Lions 11-4. The goalscorers included a pair of defensemen, sophomore Kevin Schulze and senior Joe Faust, each with his first goal of the season and fifth of his career — and each in the third period, Schulze's in Friday's 7-1 win and Faust's in Saturday's 4-3 game.
It should be noted, too, that the Badgers are a much steadier team with Joel Rumpel in net.
It should be noted, too, that Penn State has more than a little work to do.

True friends
Sunday, October 14, 2012
So, this last week was very trying for me. I had a very serious crisis and it rattled my cage... And you know what I came to realize?
That out of all the people I know...
and all the family I have (which is extensive)
and all the people I've been there for when they needed me....
ONE person was there to catch me when I fell. ONE person...
and it wasn't my sister...
and it wasn't my mom...
and it wasn't anyone that most would expect...
It was my friend Christopher.
He's been a buddy for some time... and we've had a very casual friendship over the last couple years... but when he needed someone a few months ago... I was his one.
He wrapped me up in his arms and petted my hair and let me sob on his chest for 6 hours straight... then I fell asleep and he carried me to his bed and tucked me in.
The next night, I did it again.
He would send me periodic texts throughout the day while I was at work reminding me that I've been thru worse and that I'm tough and I can make it... and everything will be fine.
This man has unwavering faith in me...
and he always believes in me even when I can't.
and he knows beyond the shadow of a doubt that there's nothing I can't do... even when I tell him that's not the case...
and he promised to always be there for me and he always has...
and he's my best friend.... and I love him to pieces... and I have needed someone like that in my life for a long time.
It's so nice to have someone to help me brush off and press on when I just want to reduce to dust and blow away in the wind.
For this type of friendship and caring is rare....
My very own sister was nowhere to be found.
and the matter was regarding her own niece.... my daughter...my youngest daughter.
(and she's safe and sound now by the way)
I feel as though I should be angry toward all the people who claim to be there for me but were absent when I needed them.
But I'm not.
I will let karma do the work...
My karma was good and therefore everything worked out in the end and I got a new perspective on things and people near me.
From this point forward, I will set the boundary that I will only cater to those that cater to me.
From this point forward:
You be nice to me, I'll be nice to you.
If you love me, I will love you back.
If you ignore me when I need you, I will do the same for you.
If you don't respect me, you will lose me.
Simple as that.

Wise words, and there's a lesson here that I am still learning. It's tough to learn that those we thought closest to us are nowhere to be seen when we are need.

I am glad that you have somebody like that. I used to have that in my best friend who also happens to be male. Our lives have drifted apart. That is par for the course here though. I'm just glad you have somebody. I'm glad everything turned out okay. I hope you are able to keep that level of friendship and trust. Thinking about you my friend.

I understand where you are coming from. It hurts when you find you can't count on the people you thought you could.
But, maybe they didn't know you needed support. Maybe they were tied up in crisis of their own and were wondering where you were. The people in our lives aren't mindreaders, much as that would make life sometimes easier.
I'm just saying, don't be so harsh. I generally give people a second chance to come to my aid, after I am sure I let them know I needed help. If they don't help after the second request, then I limit time with them.

Corrosion Factors In-Ground
Soil Types and Corrosion
The Solid Phase
The Aqueous Phase
Free Ground Water
Gravitational Water
Capillary Water
The Gaseous Phase
Corrosion Rates And Australian Standards
Buried steel items are subjected to a range of corrosive forces quite unlike those experienced in atmospheric exposure conditions, and the performance of both steel and galvanized steel in-ground is not as well understood as is the durability of these materials in above-ground applications.
Considerable research into the management of underground corrosion has been done, particularly with pipelines and related services.
Both steel and zinc react in different ways when in contact with soil and an understanding of the performance of each material when in contact with soil allows structure service life to be determined with reasonable accuracy.
Steel requires oxygen, moisture and the presence of dissolved salts to corrode. If any one of these is absent, the corrosion reaction will cease or proceed very slowly. Steel corrodes quickly in acidic environments and slowly or not at all as alkalinity is increased.
Zinc requires the presence of stable oxide films on its surface to provide its corrosion resistance. It performs best in neutral pH environments although it can tolerate exposures in the range from pH 5.5 to pH 12. In the absence of air, the stable oxide films do not form on the zinc surface, and corrosion can be accelerated if moisture is present under these conditions.
For this reason, galvanized steel is the best combination where structures are partly buried and partly exposed to the atmosphere, as the zinc provides the durability above ground while the steel performs predictably in-ground.
Corrosion of metals in soil is extremely variable and while the soil environment is complex, it is possible to make some generalizations about soil types and corrosion. Any given soil is a very heterogeneous material consisting of three phases:
The solid phase is made up of the soil particles that will vary in size and will vary in chemical composition and the level of entrained organic material.
The aqueous phase which is the soil moisture – the vehicle that will allow corrosion to proceed.
The gaseous phase, which consists of air entrained in the soil's pores. Some of this air may dissolve in the aqueous phase.
Soils are classified according to their average particle size and their chemistry. Convention classifies particles over 0.07 mm to around 2 mm as sands, particles from 0.005 mm to 0.07 mm as silts and 0.005 mm and smaller as clays. Soils rarely exist with only one of these components present. Clay soils are characterized by their ability to absorb water readily. For this reason, clay soils present a significantly higher corrosion risk than sandy soils.
There are three types of soil moisture. These are free ground water, gravitational water and capillary water.
This is determined by the water table, which may range from ground level in swampy areas to many metres below the surface. This is the least important factor in determining corrosion as most buried structures are above the water table. High water tables will result in the buried structures behaving as if they were in an immersed environment.
This arises from rainfall, irrigation or condensation and will soak into the soil at a rate determined by its permeability. The frequency of contact will determine the period of wetness of the metal surface. In areas of regular heavy rainfall, most soluble salts may have been leached from the soil. Desert areas of low rainfall may have very high salt levels and can thus be more corrosive to buried metals than tropical environments.
This is water entrained in the pores and on the surfaces of the soil particles. The ability of soil to retain moisture is vital to plant growth but it is the capillary water that is the prime source of moisture in determining corrosion rates of metals in soil.
Access of gas (air) into the soil depends on the soil's permeability. Drier soils or coarser grained soils will allow more oxygen access to the sub-surface and increase the rate of steel corrosion relative to the oxygen deficient areas.
AS/NZS 2041-1998 –Standard for buried corrugated metal structures contains much useful information in table for to allow product life in-ground to be determined. These tables take into account resistivity of the soil (which factors in related issues such as levels of dissolved salts), pH and soil characteristics. This information is then related to in-ground corrosion rates for both zinc and steel.
The corrosion rate of steel in soil can range from less than 20 microns per year in favourable conditions, to 200 microns per year or more in very aggressive soils. Similarly, galvanized coatings may corrode at less than 5 microns per year in mild conditions to 25 microns/year or more in unfavourable soils.
By defining the range of these corrosion rates in a particular application, it is possible to design buried metal structures with barrier coating, providing conditioned soil in contact, or with a corrosion allowance on the steel to obtain the desired design life.
In moderate soil conditions, an extra 1mm of steel thickness can provide an additional 50 years of service life.

Utah Jazz: C.J. Miles has big plans for season, future
SALT LAKE CITY — C.J. Miles has one of the sweetest-looking shots around, but he's struggled with inconsistency and accuracy issues.
Writing about his insatiable appetite is a favorite subject of his on Twitter, yet Miles is returning fit and trim, 15 pounds lighter than he was at the beginning of the summer.
Another head-scratcher about the proud Dallas native who lives in New York City during the offseason but plays for Utah?
It seems like the NBA veteran has been around since the Stockton-to-Malone days.
But the kid, who's logged six seasons in the league and outlasted Deron Williams in Utah, is just 24 years old.
Could this finally be the breakout season Miles, Jazz management and fans have been waiting for since the team took a second-round flier on him out of his Texas high school in 2005?
Miles has the confidence that will be the case this shortened season.
"I put in the work so … no reason not to be confident," Miles said. "(I've) been doing everything all summer, put my myself in position where any situation I'll have some type of success in it, so there shouldn't be any issue with that because I've been working."
Because he didn't know when the season might start, Miles stayed on top of his physical shape. He did a lot more cardio and CrossFit exercises for his core this summer after focusing on weight-lifting the previous offseason.
And he ran and played hoops as much as he possibly could wherever he went.
"I just stayed on it," Miles said.
At a glance, it shows.
The 6-foot-6 Miles was at 222 pounds on Thursday, when he and teammates were given the OK to return to the Jazz practice facility. His goal was to be in the 220 range, which he'll dip under, no doubt, once the compressed camp begins Friday.
Decreasing his body's size wasn't his only wish.
Miles also wanted to increase his all-around basketball game.
He has bigger dreams, too.
To get there, Miles has worked on putting the ball on the court, shooting off the dribble, his mid-range touch and driving to "open up the game."
"Being lighter and stronger allows me to attack the basket better as far as working the nets," Miles said. "I feel like I can jump higher. I just tried to expand everything as much as I could."
Miles doesn't shy from other lofty goals.
He sees himself as a starter in either of the interchangeable swing positions. One starting spot would open up if Jazz fixture and unrestricted free agent Andrei Kirilenko doesn't return to his small forward spot in Utah.
Other possible Jazz starters in the 2 and 3 spots include Raja Bell, Gordon Hayward, maybe a new free agent or incoming rookie Alec Burks.
"That was my goal, like, I was coming to be the starter," Miles said. "It's my job to take. If it's up there, I'm going to take it."
It has been on his mind, he admitted, ever since the disappointing 2010-11 season ended.
Despite all the turmoil and tailspin, last year was a success for Miles in some ways.
He had by far his highest scoring and rebounding averages at 12.8 points — his first double-digit clip — and 3.3 boards a game.

Official word from the Mexican government says the former mayor of Nuevo Laredo was found dead in Monterrey.
A forensic pathologist in Monterrey confirmed a body found recently is that of Benjamin Galvan Gomez; also dead alongside him was well-known Nuevo Laredo businessman Miguel Angel Ortiz.
The Attorney General of the State of Tamaulipas was notified after the bodies were found Monday in Garcia, Nuevo Leon.
The former Nuevo Laredo mayor disappeared the 27th of February, reportedly kidnapped as he came out from a pharmacy. He was with Ortiz when it happened near his home.
The State of Tamaulipas is vowing to bring those responsible to justice.

Nicole Richie's blue hair was one of the highlights of her appearance on Monday's episode of "Good Morning America." The reality star made her an appearance on the morning news show to promote her new reality series. "Candidly Nicole" will soon appear on VH1, and she just had to share about the new show. Pop Crush shared about the appearance on July 7.
Nicole might have stopped by "Good Morning America" to talk about her new show this morning, but her hair color received more attention. She is known for dying her hair odd colors. Back in March, Nicole debuted a purple hair color. The blue was all new though, and some might even call the reality star smurfy for the hair color choice. Nicole called her hair color "true blue" when she shared photos of her new look on her Instagram.
Nicole is not one that seems to care about her hair color much. Her last hair color was prompted by a request from her daughter and a dare by Kelly Osbourne. She has also walked around with purple hair in the past. When Nicole was asked about her hair color choices, she said the following about the purple hair decision:
"I didn't even know I was going to have purple hair until two days before I had it, so it's hard for me to say if I'm going to have it for summer or not."
It is clear with the debut of blue hair that the purple hair choice did not survive the summer. The season isn't even half over yet. How long will the blue hair last? There is no way to no for sure, but Nicole seems to love shocking fans with her hair color choices.
As for her new television series, "Candidly Nicole" is set to premiere later this month on VH1. The new series is based on Nicole's Twitter and web series. In fact, the television series is named after the Internet series. Viewers will see Nicole as she works day to day at her fashion label named House of Harlow 1960. The series will also follow her as she works on her other endeavors including her acting career.
Nicole did speak openly about the new series on "Good Morning America." She said the following about the content of the series, according to UPI:
"The show is based off of my Twitter, and really, how I use Twitter is I use it to laugh. To make fun of myself and explore things I don't real know anything about. It's not reality, it's not scripted, it's kind of a place in-between that I like to call 'real life comedy.' I love to explore, I love to learn, and more importantly, I like to have fun. [The show is] a space where I can do all three, and it's just so much fun."
From that description, Nicole is portraying herself as a person that doesn't take life seriously. She seems to enjoy life to the fullest, and that includes her spur of the moment hair color changes. What do you think of Nicole's new hair color? Are you a fan?

Great Northern Railway Co. v. Hower
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Great Northern Railway Co. v. Hower, 236 U.S. 702 (1915)
Great Northern Railway Company v. Hower
No. 88
Submitted November 11, 1914
Decided March 22, 1915
Bona fide purchase is an affirmative defense which the grantee must set up in order to defeat the claim of one seeking to have a trust declared in land patented, if the bill is otherwise sufficient.
Rev.Stat., § 2291, is specific in its requirements that, in order to obtain a patent for a homestead, the applicant must have actually resided upon or cultivated the same for a term of five years.
While the law deals tenderly with one going in good faith on the public lands with a view of making a home thereon, the right is a statutory one, and, in such a case as this, it is essential to show compliance with the statute as a prerequisite to obtaining a patent.
Although acting in good faith, settlement upon land other than that included in the entry is not sufficient, and in this case so held as to an entry for one quarter-section where the entryman, through mistake, built his home on another quarter-section and at a point about one-quarter of a mile from the land entered, notwithstanding he did make a trail and build a stable on the land entered.
69 Wash. 380 reversed.
The facts, which involve the construction of Rev.Stat., § 2291, and the necessity of the homesteader making improvements on the land entered, are stated in the opinion.

The NFC North has plenty of superstars at each position group. Running back is no different. Much like the quarterback position, the NFC North Division has one of, if not the best at his position.
After that the running back spot is lined with stars, capable veterans and a pair of promising rookies are among the top two on their respective teams. The top of the running backs within the division are veterans that may not have too many elite-level seasons left in their careers. It is unlikely, given the current rules and offensive schemes, that another group of running backs will be as strong as they are right now in any division.
Here is a ranking of the eight running backs projected to be on the two-deep depth chart of the four NFC North teams.
No. 1 - Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings
Is there any doubt that Peterson is the best running back in football? No. He is a home run threat with power just one year removed from falling nine yards short of breaking the single season rushing record in an MVP season. Health has been a problem lately, though, with significant injuries in two of the last three seasons. He is the focus of the Vikings offense and new offensive coordinator Norv Turner will have new ways to showcase his talents.
No. 2 - Matt Forte, Chicago Bears
Forte is one of the most complete backs in the NFL. He is accomplished as both a runner and a passer. He is a matchup problem for linebackers and safeties out of the backfield and cornerbacks when split out wide. He is a perfect running back for the NFL's new age of passing schemes.
No. 3 - Reggie Bush, Detroit Lions
Bush may be the most athletic running back in the division. He is a better receiver than runner, but can get some yards when running between the tackles. He is better on the edge and can get into trouble if he cannot get outside. Bush was signed as a free agent prior to last season to save the Lions' poor rushing attack. He did a little bit, but a porous offensive line was a bigger problem than the running back. He and Joique Bell, who will split carries, will form a very good duo.
No. 4 - Eddie Lacy, Green Bay Packers
Lacy is the future star of the division's running back group. He came on the scene last season and benefitted from Aaron Rodgers' reputation. Opposing defenses dared Lacy to beat them and put up yards. Once Rodgers got hurt, Lacy became the focal point and he struggled a little to adjust. He is a power back with enough wiggle to break off long runs. After an injury filled rookie season, Lacy could have a breakout campaign this year.
No. 5 - Joique Bell, Detroit Lions
Bell was an undrafted rookie a few years ago. Since, he has become a very reliable and good between-the-tackles running back. He will split carries with Bush for the Lions, but he will get his yards. Also, he should get in the end zone with the majority of the short-yardage carries. He is a very good complement to Bush.
No. 6 - James Starks, Green Bay Packers
Starks was once the lead back for the Packers. When injuries set in, he slipped down the depth charts. Now he is the backup. He will spell Lacy, but doesn't really provide the Packers with skills that Lacy doesn't have. They both are bigger backs that will grind out the yardage more than get it in huge chunks. Most of Starks' carries will come when Lacy either needs a rest or gets hurt.
No. 7 - Jerick McKinnon, Minnesota Vikings
McKinnon is an intriguing player to watch in the preseason. He is fast and elusive in space. He is undersized and needs to learn how to play running back, but the former college quarterback can hit a home run every time he touches the ball. The Vikings will find ways to get him the ball in space, whether on perimeter runs or passes out of the backfield.
No. 8 - Ka'Deem Carey, Chicago Bears
Carey was a very productive running back at the University of Arizona last season. He is a multi-purpose back that can run between-the-tackles or get around the edge. He will not take carries away from Forte, but provides a nice backup option to spell him.

Coming off their first win of the season, Baker hopes to continue its offensive output from two weeks ago when they racked up 398 yards of total offense, 233 rushing and 165 in the air.
Freshman Scott Meyer and Aaron Terrill continue to lead the ground attack averaging a combined 87 yards per game with five touchdowns. Freshman Zach Faust leads the air attack averaging 151 yards per game with one touchdown.
Defensively the Wildcats have been solid. Three Wildcats sit atop the conference standings in tackles per game: Matt Brock (12.8), Adam Steele (9.3) and Colton Miller (9). Michael Faison and Kyle Weinmaster rank fourth in the conference with three sacks on the season.
"Defensively what we're doing well right now is playing a lot of different people," said defensive coordinator Jason Thoren. "We've had to mix and match what guys have been asked to do. They're really getting a feel for team defense and beginning to mesh together well."
As for special teams, Sophomore Xavier Lewis was the highlight two weeks ago when he returned an Avila kickoff 99-yards four a touchdown tying a school record set by Gary Stauffer '64 and Derrick Watts '88. Lewis was also named HAAC Special Teams Player of the Week. Lewis is averaging 35.2 yards per return.
"I think this is good timing to take a young team on the road," said head coach Mike Grossner. "We'll gain some experience playing in a must win situation. Culver is going come out hungry know it's their homecoming."

The Wildcats lead the overall series 27-3. Their last defeat came in 2006 when they dropped a 20-17 decision in Canton, Mo.
'07 BU graduate and former long snapper Tanner Purdum was featured in the Sept. 30th addition of The Wall Street Journal. The full article can be viewed by clicking here.
Eight inches of rain and a sloppy field was no contest for the Baker University football team. In their first Heart of America Athletic Conference game of the season in 2008, Baker beat Culver-Stockton 28-0 in the "mud bowl" in Canton, Mo. View the box score here.

No-stress strategies that make shedding pounds as easy as pie.
Despite what you may think, weight loss doesn't have to entail deprivation and hours-long sweat sessions at the gym. Here, 25 easy-to-implement lifestyle changes that will help you slim down in a snap.
Replace large dinner plates with smaller salad plates and you cut one-third of the calories in each meal, according to Milton Stokes, RD.
Swap beef or chicken for fish twice a week. Fatty fish, such as salmon, contains heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, says certified wellness coach Jackie Keller. And one study found that people who ate fish instead of beef for lunch ate 11 percent fewer calories at dinner.
The neighborhood-waistline link is an emerging area of obesity research. One study found that people who live in the most walkable communities are on average six pounds lighter than those in the most sprawling suburbs. Another survey of nearly 11,000 Atlanta residents found that those who spent the most time in cars were more likely to be obese than those who walked to shops and offices.
By midlife many long-term dieters have learned to rely on scheduled mealtimes—rather than their body's signals—to decide when to eat. Just because the clock says 1 p.m., that doesn't mean you need a big meal.
Challenge yourself to avoid the middle aisles of the grocery store—where most of the processed food products are usually located. Instead, shop primarily along the perimeter, where whole foods are stocked. By staying away from the center, you limit yourself to purchasing fresh produce, meat, seafood and dairy instead of frozen dinners, cookies, chips and more. This will make it easier for you to avoid temptations and to purchase healthy snacks, like fruits and vegetables.
Alcoholic beverages tend to be high in calories and may lower your inhibition, making you more likely to let down your nutritional guard. "Opt instead for light hot chocolate or a cup of hot tea, both of which can help you keep your hands and mouth busy while socializing," says Brooke Schantz, RD, a dietitian at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois.
Although you'll need some fat to enhance flavor, if there is excess fat on the edges of your protein, trim it off before cooking it. In doing so, you'll not only reduce the overall amount of fat in your diet, you'll also reduce the most harmful type of fat: saturated fat.
If you leave exercise to chance, you won't fit it in. Make workout appointments that can't be broken. Either carve out the same times every week and stick to that schedule or, if you don't have a set routine, plan a week or even a month ahead.
Vow to do an activity that will get you breathing hard for at least 10 minutes, seven days a week. "Even if you just set the timer on the kitchen stove and vigorously clean the house or run up and down the stairs, you'll do something good for your heart—and your waistline," says Andrea Metcalf, a Chicago-based trainer.
Study after study confirms that we eat less over the course of the day if we start with a good breakfast, says Jackie Keller, a certified wellness coach and nutrition educator. And the one component that's often missing is fiber. Try to include a complex carbohydrate, such as whole-grain toast, or a high-fiber fruit or vegetable, such as raspberries, in your morning meal. It will help fill you up, making you less likely to graze the rest of the day.
Eating five or six smaller meals instead of three larger ones can help prevent both hunger and overeating. Mini meals steady blood sugar levels, and slow down the release of insulin, a hormone that can cause your body to store more fat, explains Maye Musk, RD, a New York-based nutritionist.
The more you grab meals on the go and then multitask, the easier it is to lose track of how much you're actually consuming. Be more mindful when eating (feel the textures, inhale the aromas), because engaging your senses slows down the process, leaving you more satisfied.
Add herbs instead of salt, butter or cheese. They make food more flavorful, without adding extra calories or fat.
You will wake up feeling hungry so you're ready for breakfast.
They often contain sugar alcohols, low-calorie sweeteners that linger in the intestines where bacteria ferment them, causing gas and bloating. Mannitol is especially known for this, but be sure to check a product's ingredient list for any sugar alcohols-they commonly end in "tol." If you're concerned about calories, eat a smaller serving of the full-sugar version.
When you've spent a week working overtime or have stuck to your workout goals for a month straight, it's only natural to want to reward yourself. Just don't do it with food, says Keller. Instead, treat yourself to something you want more, such as a massage or new party dress. "Deprivation is a real downer, but having a system of rewarding yourself for healthy behaviors will help reinforce it for you," says Keller.
With a hectic schedule, it's easy to become dependent on packaged foods instead of fresh ingredients. Buy precut produce or take the time to cut up some fruits and vegetables as soon as you get home from the grocery store. That way, when you're pressed for time, you'll have something healthy to add to soup, salads, scrambled eggs or stir fries. "Aim for three to five servings of fruit and five or more servings of vegetables daily," says Keller.
A cute dress can motivate you as much as a bikini. Keep an article of clothing that you're dying to wear out—and look fabulous in—visible, says Keller. The daily reminder with help you stick to your dietary goals.
When University of Michigan researchers fed tart cherry powder to rats as a tiny portion of their diet, the animals lost 17 percent of their belly fat in just three months. Another trial with crushed blueberries also reduced fat. "In certain fruits there may be components, particularly anthocyanins—the antioxidants that create their dark colors—that have a protective effect," explains Steven Bolling, MD, director of the University of Michigan's Cardioprotection Research Laboratory.
The south-of-the-border staple provides high doses of monounsaturated fats, or MUFAs (as do nuts, olives and flaxseeds). "Eating MUFAs can help prevent the deposition of fat around your middle," says David Katz, MD, director of Yale's Prevention Research Center. In Katz's research, women who switched to a 1,600-calorie, high-MUFA diet shed a third of their belly fat in a month.
Overweight and obese adults who sipped a sports drink with a high concentration of green tea extract every day and also followed a moderate exercise routine dropped 7.7 percent of their belly fat in three months, reports The Journal of Nutrition. By comparison, those who exercised the same amount and drank a regular sports drink lost just 0.3 percent of that fat. The assumption is that sipping regular green tea would have the same effect. While the exact mechanism is not yet known, green tea's phytochemical compounds may speed up the body's metabolic rate, trigger the release of fat and/or promote fat burning, speculates study coauthor Kevin C. Maki, PhD, chief science officer for Provident Clinical Research and Consulting, an independent clinical research site in Glen Ellyn, Illinois.
Location, location, location: In a Cornell University study, when serving plates and bowls were kept on a kitchen counter rather than on the table, women ate 10 percent fewer calories. There's only a split second between experiencing the impulse to eat and then heaping second, even third, helpings on our plates, notes study author Brian Wansink, PhD, director of Cornell's Food and Brand Lab and author of Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think. "Keeping the platter away from the table interrupts this automatic feeding and provides enough of a pause that you ask yourself, 'Am I really that hungry?' Half the time, people say, 'No, I've had enough'."
Found primarily in the meat of the palm, coconut oil is a medium-chain triglyceride that's metabolized faster than other saturated fats—so fast, in fact, that digesting it burns more calories than the oil contains. In a study published in Lipids, Brazilian researchers gave women either soy oil or coconut oil supplements to take for three months. At the end of the study, both groups lost a weight, but only those taking the coconut oil had less abdominal fat. Try adding fresh coconut to a pre-workout smoothie, suggests Adam Kelinson, creator of Organic Performance, an active lifestyle company, and the author of The Athlete's Plate.
Dress steamed veggies with vinegar to boost your body's ability to burn fat, suggests a new study. For six weeks, Japanese researchers fed two groups of mice a high-fat diet, supplementing one group's intake with a daily dose of the main chemical in vinegar. Those who consumed the acetic acid developed less body fat than the ones who didn't ingest it. In a follow-up study, people who downed three tablespoons of vinegar diluted into two cups of water daily experienced similar results after 12 weeks.
Sodium is an essential nutrient that helps our bodies maintain the right balance of fluids, but most people are getting way too much, which can lead to water retention. Nearly 75 percent of the sodium Americans consume comes from processed foods, so choose fresh or frozen foods whenever possible, select unsalted nuts, seeds and beans, and stay away from the salt shaker: One teaspoon contains 2,300 mg of sodium—800 mg more than the maximum amount the American Heart Association recommends getting daily.

After decades of scientific inquiry, John Finley from Louisiana State University and colleagues have found what makes dark chocolate good for you according to their presentation on March 18, 2014, at the National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in Dallas, Texas.
The researchers fund that Bifidobacterium and lactic acid bacteria in the lower digestive tract love dark chocolate. The bacteria metabolize chemical components in dark chocolate into anti-inflammatory agents that reduce cardiovascular inflammation and the risk of stroke and heart disease.
The researchers proved their concept using cocoa powder and human fecal bacteria in a glass digestive tract that simulated the human lower gut.
Cocoa powder contains antioxidants and fiber that are not acted on by digestive enzymes or digestive secretions in the upper digestive tract and are not absorbed in the upper digestive tract.
Lower digestive tract bacteria convert the antioxidants and fiber into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and used as anti-inflammatory agents and digestive regulators in the lower digestive tract.
The researchers add that eating a prebiotic like garlic can assist the bacteria that metabolize dark chocolate by increasing the rate and of conversion of anti-inflammatory agents in dark chocolate to compounds the human body can absorb.

DALLAS (SMU) - Ten SMU swimmers and divers were honored by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA)as Scholar All-America selections, the organization announced on Monday, this coming the week after both the men's and women's programs were named CSCAA Scholar All-America Teams.
Both the Scholar All-America and honorable mention awards are based on a cumulative or term grade point average of 3.5 and above in the semester of the NCAA Championship, as well as participation in that championship. Divers qualify by competing at their respective championship qualifying meets, zones or NCAA preliminary rounds.
Nina Rangelova highlighted the selections on the women's side as a first-team honoree, while Isabella Arcila, Ursa Bezan and Nathalie Lindborg earned honorable mention accolades.
On the men's side, six were recognized as honorable mention selections for their work in the classroom including Nicolai Hansen, Bryce Klein, Ryan Koops, Tyler Rauth, Matt Roney and Tucker Wells.

If I put it on paper that'd just be silly.
It's me vs. triangles.
Until today I'd caught up.
Let's recap.
Triangles ate my machine. +10 for triangles
Finish my KQAL +10 for me
Knock out a gorgeous Farmer's Wife block last week +5 for me
Seam rip and redo two blocks three different times +10 for triangles
Stupid triangles.
I had the pieces for four blocks cut out this week.
I spent so much time redoing these two that the others will have to wait a minute.
Block #11 Broken Dishes:
Not 100% about that purple fabric in this but it was one I hadn't used yet and I'm trying to get all my Halloween fabrics in this quilt.
The first time I messed up I put the top right block on upside down with the purple in the center.
The second time I took a picture just for y'all...
This war isn't over yet triangles.

Parents who 'snowplow' deprive kids of learning to clear their own paths
Family photo
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — When Logan Daitch said he wanted to try out for the grade-school production of "Beauty and the Beast Jr.," his mom and dad were delighted. And like most parents, they wanted to help him do well at auditions.
So Jessica Daitch made sure he had time to practice. And just once, during his piano lessons, she asked the teacher if she would work with him on a song. The teacher ran through it and offered advice. Whether he would use that advice or practice effectively both teacher and parents left to the 11-year-old boy.
Jessica wants to parent well, but she's antsy about the possibility of overdoing it in ways that will harm the development of Logan and his sister, Ivy, 9.
That's not always the case. Teachers, psychologists, bosses, sociologists and others are beginning to talk about "snowplow" parents: mothers and fathers who move ahead of their children, trying to clear all obstacles and problems out of their way. They are similar to helicopter parents, who hover to "help" their kids do homework, figure out relationships and manage other tasks. Snowplows, though, may eliminate the child's or young adult's involvement entirely, plowing on ahead and sometimes flattening anything in their path.
That plowed road that was supposed to reduce the child's pain and prevent failure may instead stifle victories and opportunities to learn. Experts say parents who are trying to help their kids may instead undermine their confidence, slow their development and keep them from mastering skills they'll need to become competent adults.
Supposed to help
"Parents have the best intentions," said Lauren Nichols, assistant professor of clinical psychology at The Adler School of Professional Psychology in Chicago. "But children need both positive and negative experiences to build positive self-esteem. By eliminating failure and even minor negative moments, parents are doing their children a great disservice."
When parents intervene in ways that most say is not appropriate for that stage of life, they make it harder for their children.
"Children throughout development should experience failure," Nichols said. "And it's also important to know you have someone to turn to when failure happens. It needs a good balance so children learn how to deal to a point, then how to reach out for help."
Tales of parental overreach are not hard to find on college campuses, said clinical psychologist Meg Jay, author of "The Defining Decade" and an assistant clinical professor at the University of Virginia.
"You can have a flat tire, a boss who yells, a class that's harder than expected," Jay said. "Things go wrong that parents can't control, and they are worse if you haven't learned skills gradually."
That means letting kids tackle manageable challenges and allowing difficulties to grow alongside children, she said. "It's OK to let a child face consequences, have problems, get stuck. That's how they learn."
Snowplow parents may go to great lengths to see children get perfect grades, from helping with homework to browbeating teachers. Jay warns that a 4.0 GPA gained by snowplowing "is a sham that won't stand up to what it's going to get them. I have clients with jobs who are really in over their heads. Their grades got them there, but the amount of scaffolding and parental support, etc., put in place where it really doesn't belong — it's setting the kids up to fail."

Pre-Market: Facebook Makes Second Offering of 70 Million Shares; Jobless Claims Spike
Vincent Trivett
Markets are headed a bit lower as jobless claims in the US unexpectedly rose.
After yesterday's Fed-induced sugar rush, markets are heading slightly lower this morning as jobless claims in the US unexpectedly rose.
Yesterday, the Federal Reserve signaled confidence in the economy's strength, but scaled back stimulus by a small amount. The central bank will buy $75 billion in bonds and mortgage-backed securities every month, $10 billion less than it had every month since September 2012. It also signaled that interest rates will stay very low for the foreseeable future, as long as the unemployment rate remains over 6.5%. The market surged on the news, with the
Dow Jones Industrial Average
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) gaining 292.97 points to hit a record high of 16,167.97.
Overseas markets are still surging in reaction to the Fed decision, but US stock index futures are indicating a slightly lower opening. Dow futures were down 0.06% at 16,100.00 before the opening bell on Monday while
(INDEXSP:.INX) futures fell 0.09% to 1,803.00.
(INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) futures slipped 0.23% to 3,500.50.
The bond market sold off. The 10-year Treasury yield rose two basis point to 2.91% now that the Fed will buy fewer bonds every month. Gold prices are also down. Spot gold fell 2.5% to $1,203.80.
Initial claims for unemployment insurance spiked for a second straight week. Last week, 379,000 people filed for unemployment, up by 10,000 from the week before. Economists had expected claims to fall to 337,000. Later today, the government will report November existing home sales. The annualized rate of sales is expected to fall to 5.02 million from 5.12 million.
(NASDAQ:FB) shares fell 2.25% today after the company announced a second offering. The social network will offer 70 million shares in the offering. CEO Mark Zuckerberg will slightly reduce his voting power by selling Class A shares, selling $2.3 billion worth of the stock, but he will gain 60 million Class B shares, which will have 10 times the votes. The CEO's earnings from the sale will mostly go to the taxes incurred by exercising the option to buy the Class B shares, but he will also donate $1 billion to a charity. Zuckerberg will still control 62.8% of the company's voting power, down from 65%. The company itself will sell 23 million shares.
(NASDAQ:ORCL) earnings for the second fiscal quarter were better than expected. The database software giant reported that earnings per share came in at $0.69 as revenue rose 2% to $9.3 billion, quelling worries that companies are scaling back on IT spending. Shares were up 2% at the time of writing.
(NASDAQ:DISH) is likely to make a bid for
T-Mobile US
(NASDAQ:TMUS). The satellite TV provider's attempt to acquire
(NYSE:S) failed, but Dish is eager to use its valuable rights to the 4G wireless spectrum.

MEDINA — Medina Creative Housing has hit some roadblocks with its plan to develop a city-owned property at 406 S. Broadway St. into a cafe, bicycle rental and gift shop.
Dianne DePasquale-Hagerty, executive director of the organization, presented the problems to City Council's Finance Committee on Monday.
She said the organization would face about $50,700 in costs to renovate the house to bring it up to code and make it accessible for people with disabilities.
Medina Creative Housing is a nonprofit group that provides housing and employment to people with disabilities.
Even with the renovations to the house, Medina Creative Housing would be able to use only about 300 square feet of the first floor for retail space because the second floor and basement could not be made accessible, DePasquale-Hagerty said.
A February proposal for the site involved tearing down a "bank barn" structure on the property, using the wood to rebuild the barn, and turning that building into a cafe and bike rental. The barn has since been torn down.
Under the original plans, the house would have become a "Made in Medina" gift shop.
DePasquale-Hagerty also said the space allotted to replace the barn was smaller than expected, because the original barn was built on the property line.
In a letter to Mayor Dennis Hanwell shared with Council, DePasquale-Hagerty proposed that instead of rebuilding the barn and renovating the house, "MCH would tear down the existing home structure and build a log-cabin structure that would fit seamlessly with the neighborhood and would accommodate the proposed uses of cafe, coffee roasting, retail and bike rental. The wood saved from the original barn would be repurposed to the extent possible in the new log cabin construction and furnishings."
Councilman Bill Lamb, at large, was not happy with DePasquale-Hagerty's new proposal.
"That house may be the oldest house in town," he said.
Other Council members agreed, saying they did not want to see the house torn down.
"I appreciate everything you've done up to this point to try to make it happen," said Councilman Mark Kolesar, 3rd Ward. "I would not want to see that house come down. If there's other options — maybe there's something else that we can come up with."
DePasquale-Hagerty said she would meet with Lamb, Kolesar and Medina's new planning director to try to come up with a solution.
At the regular Council meeting following the Finance Committee, Council approved a study to examine what the city could do to replace the municipal pool, which was taken out of service this summer because needed repairs were too costly.
Councilman Jim Shields, 4th Ward, said members of the public properties committee agreed that "we weren't ready to be out of the pool business."
Brandstetter Carroll Inc. will conduct an aquatic center feasibility study at a cost of $11,000.
"We felt like we're at a point where we need some expertise as far as water options are concerned," Shields said.
Council President John Coyne was the only member to vote against the study, saying he thought it wasn't needed.

It was definitely a 'meeting' you wanted to make. Joe Ligon & The Mighty Clouds of Joy sent praises through the roof at the Arlington Music Hall last night in Arlington,Texas. The Mighty Clouds of Joy are always great to experience and last night in Arlington was nothing short of spectacular. Quartet gospel music is replete with living legends and Joe Ligon is proof of it.
Praise with a cause
The night was MC'd by radio veteran Antonio "AJ" Johnson and his baritone voice and comedic stylings kept the night moving at a steady pace in preparation for the 'Clouds'. The night was sponsored by Eyecrafters and the Rev. Jack Teeler. The concert raised funds to help the scholarship fund at the West Mt. Moriah Baptist Church in the Lake Como area of Fort Worth, Pastored by the Rev. Dr. W.L.D. Campbell.
The evening started off with Rashona Haynes blessing the crowd with her amazing voice and piano playing. From there The Jewelz of Harmony warmed the crowd for the legendary 'Clouds' and Joe Ligon. Haynes and the #JOH are working on their debut albums and both will certainly be a blessing to listeners everywhere. Make sure to add them to your collection as soon as they become available.
Everybody ought to praise his name...
The Clouds performed some of their fan favorites and as 'Frank Sinatra would say' they did it 'their way'. Inside their hour long set, they kept the crowd on its feet with songs spanning their 50 plus year long recording career. One of the many highlights of the evening came when the Clouds sang of their signature 'toe tappers' "Meeting Tonight". The seats emptied as the crowd rose to its feet and Joe Ligon hit one of his signature squalls.
The Mighty Clouds of Joy are proof positive that some of the best singers and names in gospel music exist in the quartet genre, with names such as: "Fantastic" (Violinares), "Sensational" (Nightingales), "Wonderboy" (Keith Johnson) and the "Soul Stirrers". Flanked by bandmates a generation younger than him, Ligon commanded the new look clouds with classic ease. Bridging the gap between the generations, the music was just as great as the singing.
The genre is truly incomparable and listeners are certainly glad to have many living legends like Joe Ligon still around to perform and inspire fans of all ages. The Clouds were mighty and the praise was high at the Arlington Music Hall. If you missed your chance to see them last night, they return to Texas next month. You can find ticket information here.

With a quick "thanks" over his shoulder Kavrik bolted for the turbolift. As it descended, he called Lys again. "Did you find the intruder?"
A narrow band extended from behind his ear and dropped a single lens in front of his left eye. The Akbar's floor plan appeared and a red dot dropped into view just as the turbolift doors opened. Kavrik swore. "He's heading for Belina now."
He ran out of the turbolift drawing a sword in his right hand and one of his blasters in his left.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
The newly freed Dark Jedi moved along confidently behind their rescuer, eager to kill. As he readied his lightsaber to do away with the door before him, the sound of fast-approaching footsteps caught their ears. They turned to face the sound and were surprised to find that instead of a Jedi, their daring challenger wielded a sword and a blaster. The pair drew away from their rescuer to meet him.
"Idiot," one of them said, drawing his lightsaber.
But the other was more cautious, reaching out in the Force to find her opponent. And so, as her partner raised his saber to slice Kavrik Zall in two, the woman drew back, fearful, for she had heard rumors of the one the Force could not see. For his trouble, her partner's hand was severed and he'd been shot through the heart before he knew what was going on.
"D-don't," the woman stammered, drawing back further, drawing her own lightsaber and calling her partner's to her hand.
"If you surrender, I'll seriously consider not killing you," Kavrik answered coolly.
But her fear of her rescuer was greater than her fear of a myth. She brought the two lightsabers together, attempting to scissor Kavrik in half. He jumped back, thrusting his sword forward to catch her sabers, and raising his blaster. The last thing his opponent saw was the business end of his blaster.
With the two Dark Jedi dealt with, Kavrik ran forward, finding the would-be assassin as he plunged his lightsaber hilt-deep into the door.
"Hey tough guy," he growled. "If you fancy an unfair fight, you should try me on for size."
Mom tells me I need brain food... but if writing ain't that, I don't know what is!

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report on the budget and economy yesterday. What they previously thought would only be around 800,000 people participating less in the workforce has now changed to over 2 Million. Why will these people no longer be fully participating in the workforce? They will opt to work part-time to get Medicaid or Obamacare subsidized benefits or they will be forced to work part-time due to employers unable to afford to provide health insurance. Many able-bodied workers will drop out of the workforce altogether. In any case, this is a huge blow to the economy overall. Millions of people having less money to spend in the economy will wreak havoc. Businesses depend on consumer demand to expand and grow. Fewer jobs will be created and more people will be dependent on the government.
In a time when people are desperately seeking full-time work, this is surely another blow to Obamacare. There are millions who have dropped out of the workforce because they have given up and millions who are currently underemployed or working part-time because they have no other options. This new information doesn't given much 'hope or change' to these people. And what does it say about the future of this country? The economy will be hurt by this. People will be more dependent on the government and taxpayers. Another problem is there will be less taxes going into the government coffers because businesses won't be earning as much and neither will taxpayers.
While this isn't a surprise to many who have been following the Obamacare debacle from the beginning, it seems to have surprised some Democrats who pushed and voted for Obamacare as they try to make 'excuses' for this new, painful discovery:
- Democrat Senator Harry Reid called this new found projection – 'Free Agency'. Yes free agency to work less while depending on the taxpayers to foot your health insurance bill. What about the millions who actually want to work full-time Harry?
- White House pushes back on CBO (after touting their previous reports). The White House usually points to the CBO when it has what they deem as positive outcomes for Obamacare but this time they are pushing back. Truth is not their friend and never has been.
- Supposedly Representative Carol Shea-Porter told Obama that she wants to see people who are responsible for the Obamacare debacle resign. Both Shea-Porter and Senator Shaheen should be on the top of the list, including every single Democrat who voted for this behemoth mess that is hurting Granite Staters, all Americans and ultimately the economy.
None of this comes as a surprise to the millions who fully read and understood Obamacare back in 2009 when the legislation was first released. The majority of people in the country and especially in New Hampshire have always been opposed to Obamacare yet Democrats like Shaheen and Shea-Porter voted for this regardless. Shaheen had the nerve in an interview over the weekend to say that people who lost their doctors shouldn't mind paying more to keep them. Both Shaheen and Shea-Porter 100% stand by their votes for Obamacare. Representative Kuster also supports Obamacare. Ironic that even if Shaheen and Shea-Porter are rightfully fired by Granite Staters, taxpayers will still be paying their pensions and health insurance, even though thanks to Obamacare, there will be less taxpayers and less tax revenues to cover them.
