The Tempest Review – M-A Theater's Latest Unique Spin On A Classic Play
November 2, 2012
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Much like last year's spring musical Once Upon A Mattress, Debra Jean Zwicker-Sobrepena strives to put her own unique spin on The Tempest.
From the very first scene, it was very apparent that this play was not set in Shakespeare's time. Instead, the characters appear to be living in the 1940s, with the Italian nobility wearing pinstriped suits and penny loafers.
As they ran out and the noises of rain and thunder took over the stage, the audience was transported to a magnificent storm off the coast of Italy. The nobility soon found themselves on a magic island inhabited by the all-mighty wizard, Prospero. Shakespeare's writing is, of course, close-to-perfection, with minor revisions in the script that do not affect the plot or the fanatical experience of the show as a whole.
The language is still in Old English, which may make it a bit hard for some high schoolers to understand or enjoy. Potential audience members may want to consider the fact that, although Shakespeare is easy (or easier) for adults to comprehend, when some teenagers see the word "Shakespeare," they nearly run for their lives. Other teenagers may be just plain tired of Shakespeare, since they are given a Shakespearean play to read almost every year in English class and would rather die than be haunted by the "Ghost of English Assignments Past."
Still, Ms. Zwicker-Sobrepena does an adequate job of transporting us to Prospero's magical island of beautiful fairy nymphs, awkward monsters, and The Logman.
Some of this is due in a large part to the script as well as the production value. M-A Theater has a high budget, resulting in wonderfully designed sets, and fantastic makeup. Shakespeare is a wonderful writer, but (with a few exceptions) can be a trial to fully grasp. With a play entirely in Old English, it is very important that the actors understand what they are saying so as to know HOW to say it, a quality that The Tempest at times struggled to provide because of the difficulty of the script.
Of course, with any play there are standout actors. Hanna Berggren is, as always, a very wonderful and lovely actor, portraying Prospero's beautiful and sexually clueless daughter. Maddie Rostami was downright gorgeous as nymph fairy queen Ariel, with head-to-toe bursting with fabulous colors of blue, brown, and white. Janet Pale provides an intense, powerful and deceptive male lead that counteracts the rest of the many timid and shy actors that seem to have a small case of stage-fright at times.
At the same time, many of the supporting characters steal the show and create a fantastic balance among roles. Thanks to Zwicker's directing, each actor is given a chance to shine and show their talent while getting a well deserved laugh from the audience (unless they delivered the punchline incorrectly, which happened more than a couple of times).
Shakespeare is very hard for high schoolers to pull off correctly, and while M-A's show is definitely not perfect, it is very obvious that the collective heart of both the actors' and the director was in the right place to put on a presentable production.
Disclaimer: Yes, I was the stage manager for this production. However, instead of having a biased opinion on the subject, I distanced myself from the project as much as possible emotionally in order to make this review a truly unbiased opinion on the subject at hand. It is time to take off my stage-manager hat and put on my reviewer helmet. I tried my best to look at it as an audience member, and I honestly think I accomplished just that. As always, let me know what you think!

How to Grow Apricots
Having your own apricot tree (Prunus armeniaca) in the garden is a pure delight. Being able to go down and pick ripe, really fresh apricots is a sensation that no bought apricot can ever replicate. The sooner you plant your apricot tree, the sooner you'll get to having really delicious apricots.
1Ensure that you have the right environment to grow apricots. It should be a cultivar suited to your local climate. Apricot trees tend to prefer cooler climates but can be grown as far as sub-tropical climates provided it doesn't get too warm during the winter (this causes early fruiting).
2Decide whether to purchase a tree sapling that is already well underway (usually grafted to a rootstock) or to grow from seed. Growing from seed requires a lot of patience and you'll need to stratify the seed to get it to germinate.
- Consider the size of the tree. Dwarf trees are best for small garden spaces.
- If buying a bare-root tree, get one that is about 2-3 years old.
3Select a suitable spot. The apricot tree needs plenty of warmth during the summer season. The tree needs to be sheltered from frost and wind. This protects the fruit as well as the insects that need to pollinate the blossoms.
- An apricot tree is very responsive to being grown fan-trained against a wall. Choose a wall that gets the most sun if you're in a cooler region.
- Avoid anywhere that has had the following crops growing: eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, raspberries and strawberries. This is because these crops can be a source of verticillium wilt.
- Apricots can be grown in containers successfully. Such a tree can be planted any time except when the weather is extremely hot.
5Plant the apricot tree in winter or early spring. The only exception to this is a mild climate, when autumn (fall) planting is acceptable. Water well once planted and add a light layer of mulch around the tree. Don't let the mulch touch the bark though.
- If fan-training the apricot, plant it 15 centimeter (5.9 in) (6") away from the wall or fence.
6Water weekly and deeply. Apricots can suffer from root rot, so don't over-water them; a deep soaking once a week is best. Ensure that there is good drainage in the soil.
7Fertilize. Fertilizer (low-nitrogen, complete fertilizer) can be applied in later winter, and then once again during the fruiting period to help it cope with the added requirements of producing fruit.
8Expect fruit within 3-4 years of planting. Be aware that apricot blossom is very susceptible to frost damage and may need to be protected.
9Thin the fruit. It is a good idea to thin the fruit at regular intervals. Begin when they are the size of cherries through to almost full size. Focus on removing fruits that don't look of good quality, are misshapen, or unhealthy in appearance. If a cluster has more than three to four apricots, thin these to allow the apricots on the cluster to reach full maturity.
10Harvest. Apricots are usually ready for harvesting from midsummer through to early autumn. This will be dependent on the variety. They will feel slightly soft. Be gently with picking so as not to break the skin of the fruit.
- The yield depends on the variety of tree, its size and age.
11Prune. The apricot tree has its best quality and most abundant cropping on short spurs on two to three year old wood. Therefore, don't prune extensively or you will get a poor crop. For the first few years, only prune very lightly, if at all. Cut older shoots out every four to six years to make way for new shoots; choose those no longer fruiting.
- If you are fan-training the apricot tree, you'll need to prune accordingly. Do this in early spring, before the growth begins.
- For an apricot bush, prune the leaders back in early spring. Over the years, as the central branches become unproductive, cut back one-third of the main branches after harvesting the apricots. This will encourage replacement branches with vigorous growth. Paint the cuts with plant wound paint or rubbing alcohol to prevent infection.

Ask a Question
- Sometimes hand pollination is needed if few insects are about.
- A new tree should not bear a heavy crop of fruit; severely thin the fruit to prevent this.
- The fan shape is great for small spaces but be aware that it also limits the amount of fruit produced.
- Another tree you might like to try is an aprium; this is a cross between an apricot and a plum.
- Too much pruning can cause bacterial canker and fungal disease silver leaf.
- If a late frost is forecast, protect the blossoms by throwing a lightweight sheet over the tree.
- Apricot trees are susceptible to brown rot during warm, humid weather when blooming and in the three weeks before harvest.

The Digger
Filed under: Style
I spotted this beauty at Southern California's "Back to the Beach" celebration of vintage and custom cars. It looks like it is right out of the early 1970s Bay Area. I am pretty sure that the Digger style bike was pioneered by Arlen Ness. You can say what you will about ole Arlen (okay, okay the 1957 Chevy bike sucks balls), but he has been an innovator from the word go – way back in the late sixties. He has been a major player in the motorcycle scene since Jesus first fired up his chrome framed Triumph show bike. Diggers are usually defined by either their big rake and gooseneck or big rake without any stretch.
Long and low are the hallmarks of the Digger. The cool part of the original Digger movement is that it came along when gold leaf and crazy graphics were in vogue. This specimen is no exception. The gas tank graphic looks like it was inspired by a Geiger drawing, you know the guy who drew the aliens from the Aliens movies.
Look at that crazy white fiberglass bodywork and the coffin style gas tank. Look at those struts in the place of the shocks. Note how the bike has been left a swingarm. I am pretty sure that is either an Arlen Ness or a Fred's Frames springer. The whole bodywork kit was available aftermarket as was he frame. Is it a catalog bike? I don't know, but it is cool…
One of the great things about the Digger style bike is that its influence lives on. Check out this bad boy, built by Yoshi and Crew at the Garage Company. Get some of that.

The FBI has been building a pool for its facial recognition database. The extent of that file is now known due to the documents obtained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) made possible by their lawsuit based on the Freedom of Information Act. The NGI or Next Generation of Identification may contain one-third of the U.S. population on file with the FBI by 2015. This was posted on Ars technica today by Jennifer Lynch, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
The Next Generation Identification file contains over 100 million fingerprint files which has been comprised of many job related required fingerprints and not a crime related capture. This behemoth file has several types of biometric data. It may include palm prints, iris scans and facial recognition. FBI fingerprint files alone are kept completely separate so a criminal fingerprint data base does not pull the civilian data. The NGI is a different procedure and will pull the entire database.
NGI is linked to personal data of information from all pertinent details on record of financial information to immigration status. The database is accessed with other federal agencies and about 18,000 tribal, state and local law enforcement agencies across the U.S.
The concern of Lynch is that your may be part of a criminal investigation only because your information and or NGI data is on file and available to review. You may be reviewed because there will be a Universal Control Number attached and it does not distinguish between criminal and non-criminal.
The 16 million in the database contained in the middle of 2013 includes 4.3 million images obtained for 'non-criminal purposes.' According to Lynch from the data received in the lawsuit deposition records there is the capability of processing 55,000 new photo records daily, which forecasts that 52 million facial records will be on file by 2015.
The FBI reports that by 2015, the NGI may include 46 million criminal images and 4.3 civil images. What becomes difficult is that there will be 215,000 images of RISC or Repository for Individuals of Special Concern. The risk lies in that there are no rules known how the collection of images are gathered, who has access to the database and what and who it impacts.
There is another file of 750,000 images from a 'Special Population Cognizant' (SPC) category, which may be related to gang activity or terrorist in a particular case or in a sequence in a set for investigation forecast for 2015. It is also estimated in the forecast that another 215,000 images relate to the 'New Repositories' category and receive a Universal Control Number along with the rest of the NGI records. These images will not be labeled between criminal and non-criminal so anyone maybe subject to review. This amounts to a large number of unexplained criteria and search availability to agencies across the U.S.
Google and Facebook have been viewed with caution as the issue of privacy lurks in the advancement and use of technology by these big 'net' companies. Their issues with privacy and the NSA, announcements of new features available on Facebook and from Google in its new Google Glass product raise concern on how to protect oneself from invasion from both government agencies and private companies.
There is an online campaign called 'Stop the Cyborgs' and encourages businesses to ban Google Glass over issues of surveillance and privacy. Are individuals' right to privacy threatened by unapproved recording on Google Glass? Eric Schiffer, chairman of ReputationManagementConsultants.com and creator of a service called Anti-Glass states, 'technology should not advance to the detriment of the public.' Where is the line drawn for privacy before it expands to surveillance or government investigation?

West Allis - The West Allis-West Milwaukee schools are leading the charge against what officials see as a state financial threat to all schools, but to West Allis in particular.
Local school officials are joining others around the state in supporting dramatic changes to the state school aid formula.
Most critical to West Allis-West Milwaukee is continuing funding for the SAGE program - short for Student Achievement Goal in Education - that helps build a solid learning foundation for kindergartners through third-graders.
Benefits of SAGE
Its main impact is in providing funding so that the schools can afford to have smaller classes in those early grades. And that effort is showing results, Superintendent Kurt Wachholz said.
There is significantly more progress made by SAGE students on standardized tests as opposed to nonSAGE students, he said. Economically disadvantaged students, for whom SAGE was developed, are better off with it, Wachholz said.
School Board member Pat Kerhin strongly supports SAGE, saying that the district recognizes that smaller classes are central to achievement.
Board President Sue Stalewski said SAGE seems to be a strong selling point for the district.
But that could end.
"Now there is a significant movement to take this program away at the state level," Wachholz said.
Responding to threat
Because losing SAGE funding would hit West Allis-West Milwaukee hard, it must lead the charge to save it, Wachholz said.
The School Board approved a resolution supporting SAGE, and Wachholz took it to Madison recently, stressing to legislators how important the program is.
School officials also shared its SAGE success data with school officials across the state at the recent Wisconsin Association of School Boards convention.
While keeping SAGE the same, local school officials and others want the state aid formula to change. The state uses the formula to parcel out state school aid.
The West Allis-West Milwaukee School Board unanimously supported the plan put forward by State Superintendent of Schools Tony Evers. It would help reverse a trend in the West Allis-West Milwaukee schools in which it lost $12 million in state aid over the last two years, partly because of the current funding formula.
'Fair Funding' idea
One of the core elements of Evers' plan, called the Fair Funding Proposal, is that it lays a path back to the state providing two-thirds of school funding, a promise the state made years ago but never fulfilled for each individual school district.
Wachholz said the Evers plan holds the line on property taxes, but it would redirect the school levy tax credit to school boards rather than having it go directly to reduce school levies. For an average West Allis home assessed at $100,000, the credit reduced the school levy by $156, according to city treasurer's office.
The formula would incorporate a poverty factor accounting for families' ability to pay, not just their property value.
"That's a very important component for us," Wachholz said.
The proposal also would ensure the revenue limits grow by the current amount, which provides a modest annual increase in school spending affecting how much schools can tax.
Dramatically different in the Evers' plan would be a guaranteed $3,000 in state aid for every student, regardless of whether the student comes from a wealthy district. Finally, the plan would make changes that strengthen rural, declining enrollment and other districts that are losing aid.
The state has additional new money that could go to the schools, Wachholz said.
He said the Fair Funding Proposal has gone to Gov. Scott Walker for consideration for next state budget. Then the Joint Finance Committee would work on it.

WADSWORTH — The end result was another resounding win. The logistics of it were anything but pretty.
The scrappy Medina girls basketball team gave offensively sluggish Wadsworth a run for its money Saturday in a non-league game, but the Bees couldn't figure out the Grizzlies' half-court defense in a 48-28 loss.
Medina (4-4), whose defeats have come to Wadsworth (8-0), Mentor (5-2), Stow (7-0) and Twinsburg (three straight Division I state title game appearances), trailed by single digits midway through the third quarter before the Grizzlies used energy plays from center Madison Gilger to pull away late.
"We came in mentally prepared because we knew Medina is such a tradition-rich team," the 5-foot-9 Gilger said. "This was a really good game because we're two really good programs close to each other.
"Going into Christmas break it required extra focus, but I think mentally we all really wanted this."
The usual suspects were factors for Wadsworth. Sophomore swingman Jodi Johnson had a game-high 11 points, New Hampshire recruit Peyton Booth had 10 points, four assists and three steals, sixth-man Taylor Wyatt added nine points and Gilger finished with six points, seven rebounds and three assists.
The Grizzlies had their fair share of problems, though, which frustrated ninth-year coach Andrew Booth early. Sloppy cuts and inaccurate passes affected a half-court offense highly predicated on timing, and Wadsworth had such glaring issues at the free throw line (3-for-13) that the crowd cheered sarcastically when Peyton Booth canned a freebie early in the fourth quarter.
Those problems were negated by a defense has held opponents under 30 points in five straight games.
"Definitely, they're very intimidating," Medina power forward Madi Tata said. "They're undefeated and obviously their press — we worked on it all week — we broke, but, still, pressure and intimidation are the big things."
The game plan of the Bees was similar to what has caused Wadsworth trouble in recent years. The Grizzlies' run-and-jump press was effective only in short spurts, and Medina got into sets to slow the game down.
The catch was Wadsworth's half-court defense is as good as its ever been under Booth. Standout Bees forward Madi Tata, who entered play averaging 17.0 points, was held to seven points on 2-for-13 shooting and Medina's pick-and-roll offense was ineffective against textbook help defense.
The game slowly got away from the Bees as it went on, as Wadsworth took leads of 13-8, 23-13 and 38-24 at the quarter breaks.
Gilger was particularly clutch in the second half with three offensive rebounds and three assists all within 5-7 feet of the rim.
"Offensively neither team could get much going, so the flow of the game was kind of choppy," Andrew Booth said. "I think our kids just stayed with in, mainly. Maybe it was just the war of attrition. We just wore them down."
Medina finished 10-for-34 from the floor and committed 19 turnovers, but more than held its own in an intimidating environment. Small forward Jessie Holzman had seven points, center Liz Jones continued to justify her newfound spot in the starting lineup with five points and a game-high eight rebounds and guard Casey Midlik added six first-half points.
The Bees also were effective using their inside advantage with the outcome still in doubt, leading to a 30-18 rebounding edge. Their downfall was not enough outside shooting (2-for-9 from 3-point range) and an inability to run their offense in the second half due to Wadsworth's half-court trap.
Things won't get any easier against defending regional qualifier Magnifcat and Northeast Ohio Conference River Division contender North Royalton in the next two weeks, but Medina is starting believe it can hang with the big dogs.
"We've been doing really good because great teams we've played like Twinsburg, Mentor, I was going into those game like, 'OK, these are really good teams and we've just got to play our hardest and see what happens,"' Tata said. "After triple-overtime with Mentor and losing by two to Twinsburg, that's what gave us motivation to play Wadsworth.
"We can play with these big teams. We just can't play scared."
Former Medina players Pari Yost, Faith Constance, ToriBeth "T.B." Cullen, Cari Pallini, Nicole Sposet and Alexis Smith were in the house, as well former Wadsworth players Rachel Goddard and Haley Hassinger.
l Olivia Chaney and McKenna Banks each had 10 points as Wadsworth's junior varsity won 35-27. Margaret Swiecicki had seven points for Medina.

Islamists in Indonesia Block Horror-Comedy Movie About a 'Menstruating Ghost'
by Thilaka Ravi on February 5, 2010 at 3:45 PM Lifestyle News - G J E 4
Indonesian film producers said Friday they had withdrawn a horror-comedy movie about a menstruating ghost from theaters due to threats from hardline Muslims.
- The Menstruating Ghost of Puncak was screened to a selected audience in Jakarta earlier this week
- A man is seen browses pictures of Japanese porn star Maria Ozawa
"We did this because the reaction to the film is outrageous. The situation is still tense," K2K production house manager Evelin Hutagaol told AFP.
Advertisement"Hantu Puncak Datang Bulan" (The Menstruating Ghost of Puncak) was screened to a selected audience in Jakarta earlier this week and was due for general release on Thursday.
The producers said they made significant cuts to the film before it was approved by the mainly Muslim country's censorship board, including most of the sex scenes.
But uncensored clips on YouTube have caught the attention of Muslim clerics and radical youth groups, who appear not to understand that the edited version is different.
Habib Salim Alattas of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), a Muslim vigilante group which has ordered its members to attack cinemas showing the film, admitted he had only seen clips on the Internet.
"We don't want the movie to be viewed by Indonesians because it contains illicit and pornographic scenes," the FPI chairman said.
"If theatres are still screening the film, then the FPI will raid those theatres. The film damages our morals. Do we want our country to be made stupid by watching this film?"
K2K spokesman Yan Wijaya said the producers had arranged a meeting between the censors and the FPI so the vigilantes could see the edited version for themselves.
"We're still arranging the date. We have to wait as this mass organisation (the FPI) is more powerful than our law," he said.
The Indonesian Ulema Council, the country's highest Islamic body, has urged Muslims to boycott the film but has stopped short of issuing a fatwa or religious edict on the matter.
Muslim leaders in September condemned plans for Japanese porn star Maria Ozawa, popularly known as Miyabi, to visit the country to play herself in a comedy movie called "Menculik Miyabi" (Kidnapping Miyabi).
The actress consequently "postponed" her trip.
In December, Australian movie "Balibo" was banned because it depicts the alleged murder of five Australian-based journalists by invading Indonesian forces in East Timor in 1975.
Indonesia claims the men died in crossfire.

John Coltrane: Lonnie's Lament
Lonnie's Lament
John Coltrane Quartet
Crescent (Impulse! IMPD-200)
John Coltrane (tenor sax), McCoy Tyner (piano), Jimmy Garrison (bass), Elvin Jones (drums).
Composed by John Coltrane.
Recorded: Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, April 27, 1964
Rating: 99/100 (learn more)
John Coltrane, artwork by Michael Symonds
One of the saddest instrumental ballads on record, "Lonnie's Lament" was the 12-minute climax of John Coltrane's gorgeous 1964 album Crescent. Coltrane states the theme twice, his horn full of sorrow, as the rest of his quartet paints texture behind him. After the long introduction is done, Coltrane drops out as the rhythm section gets going, and it is pianist McCoy Tyner who takes the first real solo. Tyner improvises for several minutes, patiently building his solo, taking blocks away and reassembling then. Bassist Jimmy Garrison then takes a long, unaccompanied solo. Coltrane finally returns only to close the piece by restating the theme two more times. Never before had he said so much by playing so little.

TEMPE, Ariz.- Arizona State volleyball travels to Spokane, Wash., on Friday Sept. 6 to face Seattle University (2-3) at 4 p.m. PT in the first game of the Gonzaga Invitational. The Sun Devils then open Saturday morning against UNLV (2-1) at 10:30 a.m. PT followed by a primetime match against the host team Gonzaga (0-3) at 6 p.m. PT.
The Sun Devils swept all three opponents at last weekend's Utah Valley invitational including a 3-0 win over No. 24 Wichita State behind Tournament MVP Macey Gardner's 44 kills. ASU averaged 14.78 kills per set along with 2.28 blocks per set to frustrate opposing offenses, which were held at .068 hitting percentage, leading the Pac-12. ASU also tops the Pac-12 after the first week of play in digs with 158 with senior Stephanie Preach averaging 5.33 digs per set.
ASU comes into the tournament with the highest record, but the field also faced tough competition in each club's opening week. Both Seattle and Gonzaga are coming off losses to Pac-12 foe No. 5 Washington (3-0) while UNLV fell to Kansas State (3-0).
About the Gonzaga Series
ASU leads the series 2-0 with the last win coming in last season's 3-1 victory in Tempe. Savannah Blinn leads the offense for the Bull Dogs with her 46 kills, averaging 3.54 kills per set with a .353 hitting percentage.�
About the Seattle Series
The Sun Devils hold the 1-0 advantage in their sole meeting with the Redhawks after a 3-1 win at the ASU Sheraton Classic in 2010. Sophomore Martina Samadan leads SU with 50 kills, hitting .400 through five games for the Redhawks.�
About the UNLV Series
Arizona State has a chance to even up the series in this weekend's tournament with the Rebels currently holding the 3-4 advantage over the Sun Devils. The last time these two teams met was during head coach Jason Watson's first year at ASU in 2008 where ASU fell, 3-1, in the second game of the season. Outside hitter Daryn Glenn leads the Rebel offense with 40 kills.
Solid Season Start
Macey Gardner was named MVP of the Utah Valley La Quinta Inn & Suites invitational following a striking debut to start the 2013 season, posting a team-high 44 kills that includes a 19-point performance in the sweep of North Dakota State. The reigning 2012 Pac-12 All-Freshman also is making an impact on defense, posting through three games an average of 2.89 digs a set, an improvement from her freshmen average of 2.34.
Fantastic Freshmen
Newcomer BreElle Bailey made an immediate impact for ASU in the Utah Valley La Quinta Inn & Suites invitational this past weekend with 37 total kills, only trailing to Gardner's 44. Bailey would also post the team-high16 kills in the upset win over No. 24 Wichita State while hitting .636, which places her fourth on the Pac-12 individual match high list.
Three Earn All-Tournament Honors at Utah Valley
Stephanie Preach and BreElle Bailey�were named to the All-Tournament team and sophomore�Macey Gardner�garnered Tournament Most Valuable Player. Leaders over the weekend in kills were�Macey Gardner�(44) and�BreElle Bailey (37). Stephanie Preach who started the season fourth on ASU's all-time career digs, now shy's the third position by a mere 20 digs following her 48 dig performance this past weekend for a total of 1,508.
Other Notes
The Sun Devils and head coach Jason Watson posted its second-consective 3-0 start. The last time this occured for ASU was during the 1997-1998 seasons under Patti Snyder-Park.
Arizona State is hitting .287 while holding its first three opponents (UVU, WSU, NDSU) to a .068 hitting percentage. The Sun Devils only allowed nine points in the second set against No. 24 Wichita State where ASU went on to sweep the Shockers, 3-0.

Who builds the best burger in Las Vegas? That's a burning question, especially on the Strip, where competition among gourmet burger restaurants is fierce. Even some steakhouses and hotel room-service menus have jumped on the trend, offering prime sirloin patties paired with $5000 bottles of Bordeaux wine or rare French champagne.
Until recently, our faves for hand-crafted burgers, milkshakes and fries in Las Vegas were BLT Burger (what beats a burger fried in butter?), at the Mirage casino, and LBS: A Burger Joint (house-made everything!) at Red Rock casino way out in suburban Summerlin. But our carnivore's bleeding-red heart now belongs to Holstein's, at the brand-new Cosmopolitan casino on the Strip.
First, we were seduced by Holstein's free truffle-oil popcorn appetizer. Then, it was the liquored-up milkshakes, like the 'Black Cow' with chocolate-covered pop rocks and a shot of cherry vodka. But we didn't fall hard in love until we bit into the 'Rising Sun' burger made with teriyaki-glazed Kobe beef and topped with nori (seaweed) furikake, crispy yams and a perfectly tempura-fried avocado slice. One caveat: the duck-fat fries aren't all that tasty. Well, nobody's perfect.
If our love affair with Holstein's ever ends, you'll find us at Bachi Burger, an Asian fusion eatery south of the Strip, or running madly around town trying to track down the Slider Truck (self-explanatory) and Sloppi Jo's Roving Eatery (New Mexican-style green chile cheeseburgers, yum). Either that, or we'll be standing in line at the 'Takhomasak' take-out window inside the South Point casino's Steak 'n Shake 1950s-style diner, an Illinois chain that we've loved since our corn-fed childhood.

Stacking Up the Strip's Best Burgers
2 comments:
Years ago during visits to LV I didn't have your advice at my fingertips Indietraveler; those sad dining moments were abbreviated and unremarkable. Just last month I had a chance to savor one of Holstein's "Gold Standards", and *wow* my future burger experiences now have a new gold standard by which other experiences will now be measured. It was that good.ReplyDelete
I think I gained three pounds just from reading this. Every post of yours makes me more curious about LV, which for years I've avoided. Kudos!ReplyDelete

Andrew Nicola is joining the coaching staff of the California Baptist University wrestling program as an assistant coach, the Riverside, Calif. school announced Monday.
Nicola will be working with Lancers head wrestling coach Lennie Zalesky and assistant Arsen Aleksanyan, according to the school's updated coaching roster.
A native of Fort Wayne, Ind., Nicola wrestled at Indiana University, and has coached at the collegiate level at Cumberland University, University of Central Missouri, and Calumet College of St. Joseph.
For the past two seasons, Nicola served as an assistant coach at Cumberland in Lebanon, Tenn., where he was responsible for conducting practice, demonstrating technique and recruiting for the Bulldogs as well as arranging travel and helping with the schedule each season. Nicola also handled ordering gear for the squad, monitoring student-athlete grades and class attendance and scheduling community service and community support activities for the club.
In his tenure at Cumberland, the Bulldogs finished 14th in the 2014 NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) Wrestling Championships, with a program-record three student-athletes – Zeke Hunt, Jake Williams and Cody Linton – all earning All-America honors.
Prior to Cumberland, Nicola worked two years as an assistant coach at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, Mo., and spent one season as an assistant coach at Calumet College of St. Joseph in Whiting, Ind.
Nicola also holds coaching experience at the international level as a USA Wrestling Silver Certified coach, serving on the Indiana National Team coaching staff over the last 12 years. He was a Team USA Senior World Team Coaching Ambassador in 2013, traveling to Budapest, Hungary for the World Championships. In 2012, Nicola was named the 2012 Indiana Cadet/Junior Coach of the Year.
"Andrew is very good in the areas we are looking to improve," said CBU head coach Zalesky."He is well connected to the national wrestling community and has a very good understanding of the things we need to do to bring our team up another level."
"I am very excited to work with Coach Zalesky and Coach Aleksanyan," Nicola said. "These two coaches have a wealth of knowledge and are proven winners. I have so much to learn about the sport and about coaching, and I am confident that these are the two that I want mentoring me. They lead by example in every facet of their lives. I am eager to help bring CBU wrestling to national prominence."
"[President] Dr. Ronald Ellis, [Vice President] Kent Dacus and [Director of Athletics] Dr. Micah Parker have blessed me with a great opportunity to join the CBU family," Nicola said. "The school is growing and is very invested in the athletic programs. The school support and community support are second to none, and this will -- without a doubt -- be a great place for me."
Founded in 1950 by the California Southern Baptist Convention, California Baptist University is located in Riverside, in southern California. The school has approximately 7,100 students, according to the school's website.

Research Group
Our research group applies Raman spectroscopy and spectroscopically resolved two and three dimensional imaging to chemical and biomedical problems. It also specializes in high speed video microscopy. We are interested in problems at scales ranging from single molecules to tissue specimens.
We are leaders in Raman microspectroscopy and microscopic imaging. We develop new spectroscopic instrumentation based on modern photonics technology and new chemometric and other image processing methods for generation of hyperspectral image contrast. A core interest is the chemistry that governs the properties of musculo-skeletal tissues. We use our unique Raman spectroscopic imaging and dynamic microspectroscopy capabilities to study normal and pathological development and failure mechanisms of these tissues at every stage of the life cycle from embryo through maturity. We study how these tissues change over time and how they respond to the imposition of normal and traumatic external loads. The work has led to new insights into the effects of skeletal birth defects such as craniosynotosis and osteogenesis imperfecta, into the tissue changes associated with metababolic diseases such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis and into the biomechanics of bone tissue and cartilage. The same technology is also applied to characterization of biomaterials ranging from heart valve replacements to dental cements.
Additionally we have unique capabilities and facilities for high frame rate fluorescence imaging at the single molecule level. The lab has used supra-video rate imaging to study dynamics of DNA and RNA electrophoretic migration and to study the statistics of electrophoretic dynamics.
Our work is interdisciplinary and requires close collaboration with biomedical research groups in the medical and dental schools and in the engineering college. Uniquely within the chemistry department, we operate a core Raman spectroscopy facility that brings graduate students and postdoctoral fellows into contact with life scientists from across the university for short and long-term projects.

I am Jamie Bodily and I am the face of Transform Your Birth. I became a Doula in 2000 started my training teaching birthing classes and then prgressed into being at births and as my life progressed I saw a need to be able to help women even more so I got a MS in Mental healthCounseling. While working as a doula I have been able to help women who are in need from all over the globe. While I have enjoyed this greatly I have also seen great tragedy as well. I have worked with women who have had great obstacles that have led to great triumps from thier births such as rapes that led to adoptions to happy families unable to have a child, to mental health issues requiring more than I was able to give leading me to gain more education that allows me the ability to help these women who lose thier way and need assistance to keep thier family safe from harms way.

Suzanne Atanus, Republican candidate for U.S. House of Representatives in Illinois, claims autism and dementia are God's punishment for abortion and LGBT rights.
Atanus claims that God is "angry" with the United States and has sent scourges like autism and dementia to punish the American people, according to a report published Jan. 22 by the Chicago Daily Herald.
Atanus is seeking the Republican nomination for the 9th Congressional District in Illinois. Her opponent for the GOP nomination is David Earl Williams III, a first time candidate and U.S. Navy veteran, who says he voted for Barack Obama in 2008 but has since changed his political leanings.
The winner of the GOP primary will face Rep. Jan Schakowsky in the fall.
"I am a conservative Republican and I believe in God first," Atanus said at an endorsement session with the Daily Herald. She said she believes God controls the weather and has put tornadoes and diseases such as autism and dementia on earth as punishment for gay rights and legalized abortions.
"God is angry. We are provoking him with abortions and same-sex marriage and civil unions," she said. "Same-sex activity is going to increase AIDS. If it's in our military it will weaken our military. We need to respect God."
Williams, her opponent for the GOP nomination, responded that AIDS is spread by unsafe sexual practices in all people, not just homosexuals, and said that as a veteran he was offended by her comments.
Atanus, 55, has run for this office twice before — she lost the 2010 GOP primary and in 2012 was taken off the ballot because she didn't have enough valid signatures.

Even if you never get around to jumping into the pool or going further from the beach than just a few dainty steps into the ocean, wearing your bathing suit won't have been wasted, since it gave you an excuse to put on this Melissa Odabash coverup ($105, on sale). We don't think we've ever seen a prettier caftan - the coral color, all-over embroidery, and voluminous bell sleeves help this one take the cake (and eat it, too, because heck, you're wearing a caftan!).

RIA, 1911, solid, conceal carry tool.

RIA, 1911, solid, conceal carry tool.
My favorite carry gun is my Kimber PRO CDP II. It has a full size grip w/the 4" barrel and weighs in empty @ 28 0zs. I prefer it over any of my Glocks for concealed carry because of it's slim profile. I have a Galco "Skyops" IWB holster and even w/just a t-shirt on it is relatively concealable. Although the Galco isn't the fastest holster to access I have ever used it is by far the most concealable holster I have ever had. If "concealment" is a major factor in your holster choice, by all means look at the "Skyops". It's a definite winner!:smt1099
FNP-45 for me. Absolutely amazing gun.
Sig P220 is my favorite, but I carry a P232 as a BUG on occasion.
Not a whole lot of H&K USP posts so I thought I'd add another.
On a good day I can split cards with my H&K USP 45 (my buddies claim it's due to the caliber ;o ). It's hard for me to pick anything else considering how well I do with it.
I like em all
Wow I'm really suprised the Taurus 24/7's aren't getting anymore votes than they are. If you guys would ever shoot one and carry one, you'd know why I like them so much.
Bulgarian Makarov is my favorite.
Fer me...
An dead heat bewtween the SA Loaded Champion and my Alaskan.
Two funnest gun-n-run guns ever. (for 750$ /pc I might add...)
My Sig P-220 Elite Stainless 45.acp.
i own a g19 and an xd9sc and recommend them both with high regard. i voted XD because its my main CCW ( due to a lack of a good holster for the g19...limited funds) but the g19 conceals very well ( occasionally use the XD IWB for the g19 ..lol)!
I love the XD TAC 45 because I just bought it and if you don't why did you buy it?
I'm gonna have to vote for the gun I carry: Kahr P9
I voted CZ75, but I like all my handguns..
I would have to go with the 1911 as my favorite.
IMO if your gonna get a 9mm get a glock, Ive shot a variety of different 9mm models from different companies and i cant find a 9mm that shoots as well as the glock. But thats just my opinion.
My STI Edge in 9mm followed closely by my STI Eagle 6.0 longslide in .45acp. STI single and double stack 1911s are like finely tuned precision instruments.
Ran across a deal on a CZ75 and bought it thinking I might sell it and make a few bucks. Shot it and fell in love! By far the best shooting centerfire pistol I've ever shot. Of course, my Ruger Mk II is pretty sweet, too.
1911 .45
Of those choices XD in 45 or 9mm
you forgot the Sig Sauer P226, P229, and the HK USP :)
You can pick up used P226 for under $600
Own a glock but like the way the xd shoots. Feels better then the glock to me
Baby Eagle for me, its my only gun and I loved it from first sight, shoots amazing as well

We have an inground pool in our backyard that came with the house when we bought it. We had planned on using it but when the cover broke in an ice storm last year, we found that there really isn't much of a shallow end and since we have two small children I don't think its a good pool for them. Our next choice was to have it removed, but we got a quote of $5000 which is more than the cost to get the pool running, and more than we really have. I have also heard from a few people that removing the pool might not be good for resale value. Can we buy a new cover and just let the pool sit until we sell it a few years down the road? What would be the best thing to do if we don't plan on using it?
Also, with the option of opening it up and using it, it needs a new liner which we were quoted $2000 for the liner and installation.
We live in Indiana, and because of this we are not able to put a deck over the pool, I would love to be able to do that.
It was a pool man that gave us the $5000 quote to remove it, but when I called local excavators, none of them had ever removed a pool. Is there a different kind of contractor to look up?

Resources By Record
Search By Records
Record Type
Ohio Public Records
Ohio is one of the most populated states in the country, with a total population of more than 11.5 million as of the most recent count. This state may have been inhabited as early as 13,000 B.C., with Native Americans dominating the territory throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, until France entered and developed their own presence within the lucrative fur trade. The state became an official member of the Union in 1803, as the 17th state to become a part of the U.S. With a long and colorful history, those in search of Ohio public records can enjoy a glimpse of that history by the people who were born, married and died in the state.
Those in search of Ohio public records will find that the majority of vital documents for the state are stored at a single location, which is the Department of Health. However, those that need records dating back beyond the past century will probably need to research through the Ohio Historical Society State Archives. Before you begin your Ohio public records search, it is important to note the following:
Ohio Public Records Search: Eligibility
Ohio is considered a "public records" state, which means any member of the general public who wants access to certain public records issued in Ohio can gain access to them. This differs from other states that might restrict access to official copies due to privacy laws within the state. Those interested in gaining access to Ohio gov public records have a number of options for finding the documents they are seeking. They can submit a request through the appropriate government office, providing all the information they can on the subject and the event.
Individuals are also welcome to come into offices in person to perform their searches. Appointments are required for those that wish to search records in person, and an appointment can be made by phoning the office directly. Internet access if also available. The state of Ohio also suggests hiring a professional genealogist for this purpose, although the state stops short of recommending a specific company or individual for this purpose.
Public Records Locations for Ohio
The majority of vital records in Ohio are stored at the Ohio Department of Health. This office keeps all birth certificates for 125 years and death certificates for 50 years. At that time, files are typically moved to the Ohio Historical Society State Archives.
It is important to note that while public records for Ohio are available at the Ohio Department of Health, certified copies of those documents may be requested. However, once the documents move to the State Archives, certified copies may no longer be available. The State Archives also hold a wealth of historical OH public records, including census and military records, war collections and naturalization records.
Marriage and divorce records for Ohio are stored at the specific county office where the event was originally recorded. The Department of Health does offer a search service to help interested parties locate the document in question, if they don't know the specific county where the event took place. However, copies are only available through county offices, once documents have been located.
Finding Ohio Public Records Online
To make public records searches faster and more convenient, online public records in Ohio are also available. The Department of Health offers their own online Ohio public records search service, although the wait time to receive document copies is similar to that of mail requests.
The state also partners with VitalChek, an online service used by many states to allow interested parties to conduct searches and request copies of documents from the comfort and privacy of home.

Category talk:One Click Installs
Well, these are very useful - but what I really miss here IMHO seems to be the most important thing when it comes to installers of any kind - what about UPDATES??? Are these installs automagically updated? I see, to say the truth, no big pain in a one time install of the listed software - that is really simple. But if DH-Guys were maintaining these apps and people could rely on timely updates, well, this would be something special! Otherwise I would expect this leads to a big farm of e.g. vulnarable wordpress installations and poeple will wonder about their funny pictures on their websites - "but it was a DH oneclick install I did two years ago, how could this happen???"
Of course, if updates == true then still there is a lot of thin air to fill with questions like "what happens with my plugins / themes / extensions / costumizations if an update occured".
So I believe it is really just a one-click-install. Install once and forget about it. And then be remembered when your DH Account was hacked...
- Easy one-clicks are updated automatically. Advanced one-clicks will email you when there's an update available. Does that cover it? Andrew F 20:29, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
Deprecated One Click Installs should be removed...
One Click installs that are no longer offered (Zen-photo for instance), should be removed from this page.
Aoirthoir - 2010-07-30.
- Agreed. An alternative would be to leave them and mark them as deprecated. -- Scjessey 12:19, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

TC TO ALEXANDER CARLYLE ; 29 August 1855; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18550829-TC-AC-01; CL 30: 48-51
Chelsea, 29 Augt, 1855—
My dear Brother,
Your Letter came to us a week or two ago; very welcome, as all tidings from you always are. I read it; sent it on to Jack (who was then at Scotsbrig), by whom it was communicated to the rest of the kindred. You must not neglect to write to us, to me in particular; so long as I live in this world, you may be always sure of one fellow-creature to whom nothing that befals you can be indifferent. We are all getting old now, I oldest; and must try to keep one another company, to cheer, and participate with, one another, the best we can. I must say, looking back, my Brothers and you as the nearest to me have been a great comfort to my pilgrimage, one way and another. Nothing that has been given me in life deserves better to be reckoned as a blessing and possession. For which let us piously thank the All-bountiful! Many Households, of less apparent capability, have gained far more promotion in this rather scurvy epoch of the world than our Father's Household has: of which we will make no complaint at all; nay probably we should take that also as a blessing, and silently thank God for it (really and truly so):—but in all our ups and downs we have loved one another; yes; and surely all the yellow metal of California and all the foul puffs of Newspapers now going, are but poor "wealth" in comparison to that!— I often think of these things: but perhaps it is good to know them, without speaking much about them.
We had heard of Tom's shifting into Hamilton;1 we of course did not know the details; but reckoned in general that it might be a natural and even proper endeavour and wish, on the part of the young fellow, to cut out some road for himself in the world; and hoped it might answer;—which it appears not to have done. Poor Tom; I remember him well, stepping gallantly thro' the Burn at Scotsbrig with Letters for us; invincible by wet or difficulty of way, tho' then hardly three feet high! I calculate always he has grown to be a sturdy fellow,—perhaps with a good deal of temper in him, which he should keep a severe and steady bridle over,—but I hope, with many capabilities, with various developed ingenuities; and, now and henceforth (I hope most of all), with a steady veracity and integrity of mind, like those that have gone before him under the same name! Be good to him, poor fellow; for he will naturally feel chagrined at this disappointment; and find his old place not quite the same after coming back to it on those terms. You must sympathise with him, even if you had your irritations at first; you must really consider what is fair in the unrest he has manifested; and let him have the benefit of his Father's longer experience to guide him cannily towards some good issue if you can. He is of course totally unacquainted with the ground, which lies all as a pathless jungle round him; and yet his wish to get into some wider field of activity may be quite the reverse of wrong on his part. The total want of such a feeling, in a young man so situated: this, for anything I know, would have been a far worse fault, and perhaps a disgraceful and unpardonable one.
I know you will pardon me for speaking about this; which mere affection and anxiety prompt me to do, tho' I am very ignorant about it, and speaking mainly into the air. I will only add therefore, that if you and the other Boys2 are really adequate to the labour of Bield, it were perhaps well to think seriously (seriously, tho' perhaps in secret) of establishing Tom in some other way. And if an opening of any kind, which you think reasonable and which he likes, do occur,—then I think I may answer for Jack and myself (for one of the two I can completely answer), we should not be backward in assisting such a work, according to means and opportunity. That is a certain fact;—and that is perhaps the only thing I had a clear right to say. And I will and do request you to bear it in mind, when the occasion rises. And that really is all I had to say, and the end of that head of my discourse.
London is utterly empty (that is, this west quarter of it, or those we know in it) at this August season: the air is often very clear and good; and certainly for "retirement" there are few places equal to it. The straggling individuals that do continue, even these seem to make a tacit rule of ignoring one another; and one is called upon by nobody, calls upon nobody. Sometimes, when the wind falls dead for a few days and the hot sky is cloudless (which has not been much the case this year), the streets get villainously baked, an unwholesome stew of bad breath coming out of every cellar and grocer's shop; so that Town-life, all imbedded in impalpable dust from so many wheeled vehicles withal, reaches its disagreeablest figure; and one is glad of rain and thunder again, which is pretty sure not to be far off. I had some thoughts of poor old Scotland this year; but they are gone again; the old scenes at any rate, as you may guess, are not the joyfullest to me just now. Jack, with his two Boys3 in vacation from school, went to Scotsbrig in july or june; he has been there ever since, his Boys till the beginning of this month,—he, I believe, is leaving it this very day, as happens. Poor fellow, he makes a business out of guardian-ing these poor Boys (to which post he has been appointed by Chancery, with plenty of money); he writes, travels &c &c, and fills his time, to some satisfaction, with it. Which is pathetic to look upon, poor fellow, and yet a kindly aspect of this world's destinies. There is not one of us so capable of finding interest for himself, out of next to nothing, as he. "From the youngest to the ouldest there's none of them so much resembles"4—No, you were wrong in that part of the account at any rate! He is far the happiest of the family I do believe; and it would be so easy for a grumbling discontented unhealthy nature to pick holes without and in the life he has had. I often look at him poor fellow, and his head (six years younger than mine) now old and utterly grey, with a tender and wondering feeling. He has a great deal of superior intellect running waste, and yielding no adequate crop at all; that is the worst of it: but that is nothing like the worst of bads in this world, among the outcomes of human lives! He and I never have any cross word now; for I have long since recognised that rebuking of him is of no use; that Nature is stronger than any argument against Nature; and that my poor Jack is even made so, and might have been infinitely worse made. "Ungrateful, how could he have been better made!" I often say to myself. He is a truly loving Brother; and from me has forgiven innumerable provocations, and superficial irritations from an old date!
Today, as I said, he is leaving Scotsbrig; bound by rail towards Edinr and Leith, where he takes Steamer for Hamburg in Germany. The eldest of his Boys5 (there are four of them in all) is in some kind of rigorous disciplinary School in Hamburg, having been a baddish boy at one time, and in violent quarrel with his Mother, owing perhaps to misguidance mainly: he is now doing much better; getting to be 17 or 18, I think, withal: and Jack is going across to have a personal survey of his affairs and him. Which will do good, I have little doubt; or will at least be satisfactory to poor Jack's feelings in the matter. He has there an acquaintance, an old Roman Medical comrade, established in a little Town some 200 miles inland:6 him he proposes next to visit, and to look at various things in the adjacency or in the distance (Weimar, probably among others); in this way he means to make a three-weeks tour of it: which may be pleasant enough in this fine season. You will see by my strokes on the Newspaper (if I continue the two strokes) that nothing is gone wrong with him that I hear of; till he himself write again. I suppose he is likely to come home this way, and to anchor here again for winter, but he does not say hitherto. He sails tomorrow evg, Thursday 30 August.— Jamie appears to have a fair harvest, tho' late, as all harvests this year. Farmers are prospering beyond wont: I privately suppose it is from the California gold in some measure:7—Jamie keeps very busy, and steadily improves his footing, and at a slow rate seems to do better and better. Jean at Dumfries, poor thing, is looking forward not without anxiety to an Event which ought now to be near hand: the Doctors say there is no cause for apprehension; but her last two births have been of dead children, and all precautions surely are prescribed in such a case. Of the Austins I hear good accounts too. And that is the general bulletin from Annandale. Poor old Graham8 has no illness, but sinks duller & duller.
As to myself I have had and still have a fearful tussle with that sad Book of mine,—which is yet far, far from being off my hands:—never in my life had I an uglier job; a sore year of hard labour, last, and almost without result, as I often think. But it is not so either: by and by, if I live, I shall get thro' that adventure too; and I think it ought to be my last of the kind.— My health feels often miserably bad; and yet is not so: nothing ails me still except perpetual indigestion, and that could be greatly relieved if I had a healthier trade; my trade chiefly causes that. We have run down to the shore once or twice (by cheap trains and otherwise) and got a bathe or two; I have a horse at present lent me: tomorrow we are going to Addiscombe, a lent country house some ten miles off, for a little while. All this it is calculated will sensibly help.— Paper done, my dear Brother; I must say Adieu!—
T. Carlyle

All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
World Book Night has come to Marin! World Book Night is an annual celebration designed to spread a love of reading. This event began in England and Ireland where millions of books, which are donated by publishers, are distributed on one day.
The goal is to seek out light or non-readers in the community. Visit the website, worldbooknight.org for many touching connections made on just that one day. America logged in 25,000 volunteers, each giving away 20 copies of a book all on the same day. The US logged over 500,000 books delivered in this first year.
Marin County Free Library was honored to be selected to participate in the first US World Book Night on April 23rd. Our recipients were the boys at Timothy Murphy School at St. Vincent's Home for Boys in San Rafael. The school is for young men who have a difficult home life, academic and emotional challenges and live at St. Vincent's.
My first contact with the boys was through Art From the Heart, a non-profit bringing art to underserved children. As a guest artist I shared my passion for quilting with these young men and have a warm spot in my heart for all of them
The Book Passage was the generous host as Marin's book distribution center. Our books "Because of Winn Dixie" and "The Enders Game" were delivered to the boys.
Debbie Countouriotis, principal at the Timothy Murphy School, shared with me her appreciation for being part of this program." We know that is takes just one special book to get someone hooked on reading and these may be the ones." The school did not have an entire set of either of these books so Debbie was excited to add them to their library.
What a great way to build community!

The use of physical punishment for children is associated with poor psychological and behavioral outcomes, but the causal pathway is controversial, and the effects on later physical health unknown. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of asthma, cancer, and cardiac patients (150 in each category, 75 male) recruited from outpatient clinics and 250 healthy controls (125 male). All participants were 40–60 years old and citizens of Saudi Arabia, where the use of beating and insults is an acceptable parenting style. Demographic data and recalled frequency of beatings and insults as a child were assessed on an 8-point scale. Beating and insults were highly correlated (ρ = 0.846). Propensity score matching was used to control for demographic differences between the disease and healthy groups. After controlling for differences, more frequent beating (once or more per month) and insults were associated with a significantly increased risk for cancer (RR = 1.7), cardiac disease (RR = 1.3) and asthma (RR = 1.6), with evidence of increased risk for cancer and asthma with beating frequency of once every 6 months or more. Our results show that a threatening parenting style of beating and insults is associated with increased risk for somatic disease, possibly because this form of parenting induces stress. Our findings are consistent with previous research showing that child abuse and other early life stressors adversely affect adult somatic health, but provide evidence that the pathogenic effects occur also with chronic minor stress. A stress-inducing parenting style, even when normative, has long term adverse health consequences.

Madison Square Garden, New York, New York
Top Performers

NEW YORK -- Tom Crean joined the long list of Division I coaches with 200 career victories. The latest win was special for a host of reasons, most of all because his Indiana team needed it so badly."Our players, the way they work, the way they compete, they needed something to go right for them. They needed a signature win for themselves," Crean said after the Hoosiers beat Pittsburgh 74-64 on Tuesday night in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden.Verdell Jones III scored 22 points and Christian Watford had 16 for the Hoosiers (4-4), who had lost four of their last five.Crean, who is in his second season at Indiana, won 190 games in nine seasons at Marquette."When I left Marquette we had a lot of wins," said Crean, who was 6-25 last season, his first at Indiana. "Last year, I wasn't sure 200 was ever going to come. It's a great feeling but I'll reflect on it at some other point. I've had a chance to be involved with so many good people, coaches and players. This group I have now is second to none."Indiana broke open a close game with two 7-0 runs in the second half. The first was capped by the Hoosiers' only 3-point field goal in seven attempts when Devan Dumes' long jumper made it 48-37 with 11:04 to play.Watford had a three-point play in the middle of the second run that gave Indiana a 59-42 lead with 7:56 left."Our hard work is finally starting to pay off," Jones said. "A win against a good team like this will keep motivating us. It was so good to finally get that kind of win. It means a lot."Crean had an explanation for why the Hoosiers came out the way they did for the second half. He had his brother-in-law, Stanford football coach Jim Harbaugh, address the team at halftime."I can tell you they never heard a halftime speech like that," Crean said. "They were charging out of that locker room."Ashton Gibbs had a career-high 25 points and Brad Wannaker added 18 for the Panthers (7-2), who had won three straight after losing to No. 2 Texas."We got what we deserved. We didn't play well and Indiana did," Panthers coach Jamie Dixon said. "Besides rebounding we didn't do too many other things well. We have a lot of work to do and our players know that."The Jimmy V Classic is held annually to raise money for the V Foundation, the cancer research organization founded in the name of the late Jim Valvano. ESPN has a huge presence at this event every year since Valvano worked for the network as an analyst.One of the ESPN employees in attendance was Bob Knight, who led Indiana to three national championships and 618 wins in 29 years there before he was fired for violating a zero-tolerance policy. It was the first time he was in attendance at an Indiana game since he was let go in 2000."It's always good to have basketball royalty in the building," Crean said.

An actress appeared on a late night talk show to promote her new film last night and during the interview segment, she informed the host that her grandfather haunts her family. Jezebel posted the interview on their website on Wednesday.
Emma Stone was interviewed on the "Late Show" about her new film "Magic in the Moonlight" with David Letterman on Wednesday. In one segment of the show, Letterman asked Stone if she ever had a paranormal experience.
The Arizona-born actress claims that her grandfather has always haunted her and her family. According to Stone, quarters mysteriously appear around her house and the ghost of her granddad is responsible for it.
"Have you had an inexplicable situation that you think was metaphysical?" David Letterman asked Emma Stone.
"I've had a few. Things materializing and there's a long family history with quarters, my grandfather leaves quarters, it's just amazing, it's him, it's absolutely him," Stone said.
"This is your late grandfather and you find a quarter and you think that's from granddad. What makes you think it is from granddad?" the skeptical host asked.
"It's such a long story that you would have to go to a commercial, five times, and roll to a clip, and then come back and I would still be telling the story," the actress joked.
"I would be more fascinated if it have ever been proven scientifically. But it has never been established scientifically," Letterman said.
"But that's the joy of it, it's not a logical thing, it is magical. It's like ectoplasm," Stone said.
Letterman asked Stone what ectoplasm was and the actress explained that it was "a milky substance" that indicates when a spirit has been present. The audience applauded with laughter and Stone scolded them for being perverted.
Stone appears in the new Woody Allen film "Magic in the Moonlight" as Sophie, a psychic that is believed to be fraudulent. Colin Firth plays Stanley, a stage magician that is trying to expose Sophie. The film opens in theaters on July 25, 2014.

The compounds prevent the growth of smooth muscle cells that can clog the affected area, but they can also prevent the growth of helpful endothelial cells that, in addition to the drugs, are critical to preventing LST. Thiruppathi and Mani set out to find a way to address this problem.Every year, more than 1 million people in the U.S. who have suffered heart attacks or chest pain from blocked arteries have little mesh tubes called stents inserted into their blood vessels to prop them open. The procedure has saved many lives, but it still has potentially deadly downsides. Now scientists are reporting in the ACS journalLangmuir that coating stents with vitamin C could lower the implants' risks even further.
Previous research has shown that vitamin C could be a good alternative or addition to the drugs currently used to coat stents. The essential nutrient inhibits smooth muscle cells and encourages endothelial cells - just the traits the scientists were looking for. So they figured out a way to successfully coat a common stent material with vitamin C so that it would release the nutrient slowly over time. They concluded that this technique could be useful for making stents and other implantable medical devices safer.
