Beef and Quinoa Stuffing for Zucchini or Peppers
The zucchini were another gift from the guys at work and they were perfect for stuffing because they were the overgrown home garden variety, the kind with lots of seeds in the middle. If you were to use regular-size zucchini, I would cut them in half, lengthwise and stuff them as zucchini boats. The green bell peppers were actually from our own garden and since this stuffing recipe makes a ton, I decided to use the leftovers on them.
Ground Beef and Quinoa Stuffing (enough to stuff four large zucchini or four large bell peppers. I did a combination of both)
To prepare zucchini and bell peppers:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds and ribs. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Cut the zucchini into 3 inch sections. Carefully remove the seeds and hollow out the center of each section, making sure not to hollow completely through the section. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place zucchini and/or peppers in preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Drain any liquid that has accumulated in the bottom of the zucchini or peppers. Set aside. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees.
For the stuffing:
3/4 cup quinoa
beef broth
1 pound lean ground beef
kosher salt and pepper
2 TBSP olive oil
1/2 large onion, diced
1/2 bell pepper (any color) seeded and diced
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
6 ounces mushrooms, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 TBSP fresh oregano, chopped
1 TBSP fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, reserve a little for garnish
3 TBSP tomato paste
1 TBSP Worchestershire sauce
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
While the zucchini and/or peppers are baking, prepare quinoa according to package instructions, using beef broth instead of water. Set aside.
In large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook until beef is browned. Drain and remove from pan to a small bowl.
In same skillet heat olive oil. Add the onions and bell pepper and season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. Saute until onions are translucent, 5-7 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute for another 3-5 minutes, or until mushrooms have given up most of their liquid. Add the garlic, oregano, basil, thyme and parsley and saute for another minute or two. Stir in the tomato paste and Worchestershire sauce. Add the cooked quinoa and ground beef. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over all and stir well to combine. Remove from heat.
Stuff zucchini and/or peppers with mixture.
Bake the zucchini for an additional 25-30 minutes, depending on the size and thickness. I like my zucchini tender/crisp so I baked them for about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and garnish with parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
Cover stuffed peppers with jarred spaghetti, marinara or tomato sauce. Return peppers to oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and top with your favorite cheese. Return to oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is browned and bubbly.

I have some quinoa in the pantry - I'm afraid to use it! LOL When we get zucchini from our garden, I'll add some to my meat mixture and give it a try!

This is one of those "aha" moments. I love stuffed peppers. My husband doesn't like the pepper part. I never thought about stuffing zucchini! Thanks for the heads up to a delicious dish.

I usually stuff vegies with a chorizo and rice combo, but now I'm inspired to make it healthier by using quinoa. Thanks for the idea.

This is a great idea to use the rather large zucchini that appear in the garden! I've always used smaller ones for stuffing, and use the larger ones for grating for bread. Not anymore.

Mags - if somebody tells you to "get stuffed" you'd really take it to heart wouldn't ya? These look delicious especially the peppers. Wow you grow 'em beautiful don't ya!

Ok, so next time mom says she has some zucchini and its not teeny tiny, I will TAKE it. lol. Grumpy won't eat stuffed peppers but I bet he'd eat the zucchini. I love the stuffing recipe!!

- Jen @ My Kitchen Addiction said...
Yum! Love the stuffing recipe... Looks great. What I really love, though, is how you stuffed those zucchini by standing them up and hollowing out the middle. I might have to steal that idea (but will give you credit, of course!)

I'm TOTALLY trying this recipe this weekend! I did stuffed peppers for the first time a couple weeks ago but now, I just give this a go! Thanks!!
Delightful Bitefuls

I just made this recipe and it was AWESOME! My five year old loved it and my 11 month old, too! I could have eaten all of them myself. I used bell peppers and bison meat. Will definitely make this again... and again. Thanks for sharing!

For the third year in a row, they're going with a stuffed groundhog.
Members of a local group that holds a Groundhog Day ceremony each February in the West End will again use a taxidermied groundhog to prognosticate whether winter is on its way out.
Members of the Groundhog Lodge No. 6, in Kresgeville, haven't procured a new groundhog since Sammi III, the group's last living groundhog, died.
"Oh yeah, we still haven't been able to get our hands on a live groundhog. But we're going to be going on with the ceremony," said Robert Andrews, a member of Groundhog Lodge No. 6.
In 2011, members of the lodge used a stuffed relative of Sammi III's, Sammi I, aka "Pudgie," to make the prediction on the big day. Lodge members actually just read their own seasonal prediction at the ceremony.
Members of the lodge, which has been organizing local Groundhog Day ceremonies for the last 60-plus years, say they haven't purchased a new groundhog because so much work goes into raising the critter.
Sammi I joins other groundhogs around the state, such as Poor Richard in York County and, of course, Punxsutawney Phil.
The ceremony on Saturday will be held between 6:30 and 7 a.m. just behind Cherry's Sunset Family Diner, which is off Route 209 in Polk Township.

Initially, I started this item by trying to figure out any kind of formula for picking baseball playoff series results, and it got so tangled and off-topic that it morphed into a whole other strange semi-analytical item which I will post later.
(And will be rightfully mocked by many, probably including myself eventually).
Baseball postseason formulas aren't easy to decipher—just ask Billy Beane or anybody else not named Bruce Bochy, and I don't think even Ol' Boch for sure can lock in an exact recipe for series by series success.
You need great pitching, sure. And great situational hitting always helps. And defense. And good luck. All of that, but in what order and what magnitude for each? Impossible to tell, really.
But I thought about it and that got me bogged down, especially after watching the Giants and Cardinals win the last three World Series without super-power line-ups...
Anyway, back to the A's vs. Detroit!
OK, I did come up with one very non-analytical playoff key that has worked out fairly well over the last few years:
If Pittsburgh wins it all this year in their beautiful stadium, then I'm going to seriously pump this one up.
However, that's not very analytical and it also puts the A's in a massive hole (figuratively and literally), so I'm putting the Ballpark Beauty Factor to the side for now.
OK, there I go rambling again. The baseball postseason gets me going that way, because things are so entertainingly disjointed—anybody can win any series, and this is not just a recent development, it is Baseball.
How do I approach the A's-Detroit series, then? Well, I picked the A's to beat the Tigers last year when the A's had home-field advantage and I was wrong, but it was obviously very close and intense...
And I'm picking the A's in 5 again, when they again have home-field advantage (this year it's 2-2-1, last year it was 2-3, but either way the A's are set to play Game 5 at home again).
I'm picking the A's after going through these factors that seem to be very important in playoff situations...
Basically, if you can't get production out of almost every part of the batting order, you're set up to get shut down, and if you get shut down, you need almost perfect pitching to stay in a series.
That's how St. Louis kept putting together innings on their way to the 2011 World Series with guys like Allen Craig, David Freese and Rafael Furcal; and that's the way the Giants did it in 2010 with guys like Edgar Renteria and Juan Uribe in 2010 and with guys like Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt in 2012.
So, for this series, let's see...
Edge: A's, mostly because Detroit suffers so badly when Cabrera isn't destroying the opponent.
If Cabrera isn't near 100%, despite the Tigers' Fielder-Hunter-Martinez-Peralta-Jackson supplemental core, the A's have more hitters up and down the line-up who can hurt the Tigers, as the A's did in that series in Detroit in late-August.
Games 1 and 5 are set up for Bartolo Colon vs. Max Scherzer, and I'll take Colon to win at least one of those games. You can't toss away both games, so the A's need Colon to hold serve here.
Then Game 2 is Sonny Gray vs. Verlander, Game 3 is Jarrod Parker vs. Anibal Sanchez, Game 4 is Dan Straily vs. Doug Fister.
Edge: Detroit. Hard to argue with a team that can hold back Verlander (who didn't have a great season but still) until Game 2. Plus, I'd feel better about the A's rotation depth if Parker hadn't thrown a stinker in his last start and if A.J. Griffin was sharp and healthy to go for Game 4 instead of the up/down Straily.
It's hard to know what will be the turning point until it actually is the turning point, and these things all COULD be the turning point...
On this list, I include manager machinations—Bob Melvin vs. Jim Leyland is a good match-up—overall fielding, base running, the bullpens, the handling of pressure, and a bunch of other things.
Edge: A's, slightly. The addition of Jose Iglesias at shortstop helps the Tigers' defense immensely, but they have defensive question marks elsewhere. I have no idea how Leyland pieced together that bullpen all season, and maybe either does he.
I think the A's bullpen will get it back together after late-season struggles (due mostly to over-work, I think, which should be less of an issue after the long rest before Game 1) , and I think Ryan Cook in the 7th or 8th is the most important part of that. If Balfour struggles at all, Cook might see time as the closer, too.
I think Coco Crisp is someone the Tigers have little answer for, and I think the A's will figure out a way to keep Fielder from beating them.
I think the teams will split Games 1 and 2 here and also split Games 3 and 4 in Detroit (I'll say the A's win Games 1 and 3—the Colon/Parker starts), then Colon will pitch well enough for Melvin to patch it together from the 6th inning on to eek out Game 5.
I'll say Crisp wins it a late RBI double in Game 5, how's that for specificity?
A's in 5.

About the Book
Bruce Feiler's New York Times bestsellers Abraham, Walking the Bible, and Where God Was Born brilliantly explored the roots of faith. With America's Prophet, Feiler looks at Moses and the essential role the prophet has played in our nation's history and development. Bruce Feiler's most fascinating and thought-provoking book to date, America's Prophet delves deeply into how the Exodus story and America's true "Spiritual Founding Father" have inspired many of the most important figures and defining events in this country's history—from the Mayflower Pilgrims to the Civil Rights movement—and how Moses can provide meaning in times of national crisis, even today.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The exodus story is America's story. Moses is our real founding father.
The pilgrims quoted his story. Franklin and Jefferson proposed he appear on the U.S. seal. Washington and Lincoln were called his incarnations. The Statue of Liberty and Superman were molded in his image. Martin Luther King, Jr., invoked him the night before he died. Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama cited him as inspiration. For four hundred years, one figure inspired more Americans than any other. His name is Moses.
In this groundbreaking book, New York Times bestselling author Bruce Feiler travels through touchstones in American history and traces the biblical prophet's influence from the Mayflower through today. He visits the island where the pilgrims spent their first Sabbath, climbs the bell tower where the Liberty Bell was inscribed with a quote from Moses, retraces the Underground Railroad where "Go Down, Moses" was the national anthem of slaves, and dons the robe Charlton Heston wore in The Ten Commandments.
"Even a cursory review of American history indicates that Moses has emboldened leaders of all stripes," Feiler writes, "patriot and loyalist, slave and master, Jew and Christian. Could the persistence of his story serve as a reminder of our shared national values? Could he serve as a unifying force in a disunifying time? If Moses could split the Red Sea, could he unsplit America?"
One part adventure story, one part literary detective story, one part exploration of faith in contemporary life, America's Prophet takes readers through the landmarks of America's narrative—from Gettysburg to Selma, the Silver Screen to the Oval Office—to understand how Moses has shaped the nation's character.
Meticulously researched and highly readable, America's Prophet is a thrilling, original work of history that will forever change how we view America, our faith, and our future.

AIA's new Workforce Policy Council (WPC) is forming working groups to address each of the council's five focal issues. Companies represented on the WPC and any other interested AIA members are encouraged to name subject matter experts for the following:
The Workforce Analytics Working Group will focus on obtaining high quality demographic data and identifying key workforce trends. The group will advise Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine on the annual aerospace and defense workforce study. Data and analyses will be sought for understanding how to effectively retain a current critical workforce as well as how to recruit top talent into the industry.
The Workforce Learning and Development Working Group will identify the skills needed for the future workforce, and consider establishing in partnership with relevant federal, state and local agencies job training programs that support employment readiness. The group will provide recommendations for igniting a demand-driven education and training system for tomorrow's workforce. It will also address the issues of skills certification and credentialing as well as the effectiveness of other training and development programs for current aerospace industry employees.
The STEM Workforce Working Group will seek opportunities to build partnerships on STEM education and long-term workforce development programs that are innovative, targeted and scalable. The group advises AIA on how we can grow the Team American Rocketry Challenge (TARC) and strengthen its effectiveness and impact as an aerospace workforce development program. In partnership with the NDIA STEM Workforce Division and working with Battelle, the group this year will conduct meetings of STEM stakeholders on the subject of workforce preparation in Cleveland, Ohio; Newport News, Virginia; and Huntsville, Alabama.
The Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Working Group will make recommendations on programs, partnerships, policies and other best practices to advance diversity and inclusion. Given the aging of the aerospace and defense workforce and changing national demographics, both practicality and fairness demand that our companies recruit and retain more females and ethnic minorities than in the past. Hiring from other underrepresented groups, such as the disabled, and young military veterans is also a priority.
The Workforce Messaging and Branding Working Group will develop a communications strategy including projects, events and tactics to strengthen and expand industry branding and messaging on workforce issues. One set of messages may highlight how federal R&D spending impacts education and talent development that in turn shapes the capabilities of our workforce and its capacity to innovate and remain competitive. Other areas to be explored include sponsoring joint exhibits at conventions and conferences to recruit professionals, and partnering with the Department of Defense on a campaign to excite and inspire middle school students with technology and programs related to national security.
To name a representative to any of these working groups, please contact Susan Lavrakas: email@example.com
The 2014 schedule of AIA workforce meetings is available on the AIA website.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Friday, Feb. 15, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A flier a teacher wanted certain students to sign is raising eyebrows. As we celebrate Black History Month, one parent says the flier is offensive and the language is inappropriate.
"She wanted my child to sign her name right there," said Rosa Jennings as she pointed at the signature line.
She says she was appalled when her daughter, a junior at Josey High School, brought home the flier.
"When she brought it to me, I couldn't believe a teacher would do something like that. I was very disappointed," she said.
"Once I looked at it, I just could believe it," said her daughter, Delicia. "I was like, 'Wow.'"
Earlier this week, Delicia says one of her teachers gave her the form and asked her to sign it.
"She chose, I guess, a good woman for black history, which was Rosa Parks, and a good man, which is Martin Luther King, and if she gave it to a boy, she basically said that it was a disgrace to Martin Luther King's dream, and if she gave it to a girl, that means you were a disgrace to Rosa Parks," Delicia said.
The flier says "Rosa Parks was an N-word if ..." and asks the students to sign underneath a statement saying, "I have this letter because my actions, my life and my ways show that Rosa Parks wasted her time. Thanks for nothing my N-word. Why did you do such a thing? Here's my signature to prove you wasted your time, Rosa."
"To me it's degrading to the child, it's degrading to Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King," Rosa said. "To me, it's degrading to everybody black or white. It doesn't matter the color that the person is, you shouldn't do anything like that."
The N-word right there on the paper makes it that much worse.
"We teach our children not to say that, some of those words and their teacher is putting it on a paper," Rosa said. "I just can't believe it."
The principal at Josey High School says he's looking into the situation and will set up a meeting with the teacher next week to figure out exactly how the papers fit into her curriculum.
"I wanna see the curriculum and the lesson plan, I want to know what we are supposed to be being taught," Delicia said.
Rosa says shes not sure what she wants, but she thinks it should start with an apology.
"I honestly believe she needs to apologize to those children because some of those kids actually signed that paper," Rosa said.
When News 12's Hope Jensen asked Delicia if she would sign the paper, she said, "No ... simple as that."
A meeting is set up with the teacher for Wednesday when they get back from their furlough days Monday and Tuesday. On Friday, the principal said the instructional team is already reviewing all plans and curriculum resources for appropriateness. He says he does not want to go on camera until they have all the facts and details about the situation.
He told News 12 the teacher is an African-American woman with 26 years of teaching experience and is certified at the highest state level.

Elon hands South Carolina first loss of basketball season
Published: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 10:04 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 10:04 p.m.
COLUMBIA — Lucas Troutman scored 17 points and Elon pulled away in the second half to beat South Carolina 65-53 Wednesday night.
The Phoenix (4-1) led by as many as 16 points in the second half, but South Carolina (3-1) cut the lead to five, 57-52, with 5:46 to play. From there, Elon capitalized on several Gamecocks turnovers and missed shots to put the game away.
The victory was Elon's second in seven tries against a Southeastern Conference opponent, and both have come against South Carolina. The Phoenix, a member of the Southern Conference, also defeated the Gamecocks last season, 58-53 at Elon.
They have lost twice to South Carolina and once to Vanderbilt, Georgia and Arkansas.
Troutman was one of three players in double figures for Elon, followed by Austin Hamilton and Jack Isenbarger with 13 points each.
Lakeem Jackson led the Gamecocks with 14 points.
Three-point shooting played a big part for Elon. The Phoenix made 8 of 15 from 3-point range while South Carolina made 6 of 19, including 2 of 12 in the second half.
Elon also shot 45.6 percent (26 of 57) overall from the field to 32.1 percent (18 of 56) for South Carolina, which committed 22 turnovers to Elon's 14.
South Carolina finished with a 43-31 edge in rebounding.
Elon led 31-23 at halftime after leading by as many as 13 points in the first half.
The Phoenix used a 13-0 run over a span of 8:01 to go ahead 28-15 with 2:23 to play, but South Carolina closed the half with an 8-3 run, thanks to a pair of 3-pointers from Damien Leonard.
For South Carolina, forward Michael Carrera missed his third consecutive game since suffering a concussion in practice.
The Gamecocks' first loss of the season followed victories over Milwaukee, Morgan State and Rider.
The game closed out the Gamecocks' four-game homestand to begin the season.
They return to action against Missouri State on Saturday at Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, as part of the Hoops For Hope Classic tournament.

For those of you who have brothers or have friends with brothers, don't brothers act like they are invincible? I don't know about you, but ever since I was little, growing up with my older brother, he's always been the take-charge type. Forget about what I wanted to do because it was either his way or the highway.
Even to this day, twenty-some years later, he still thinks like he's some sort of almighty sibling, and I have the picture below to prove it!
Since my brother thinks he's so superior (HAHA) standing atop those rocks, fill in what you think he's saying.

A 17-year-old boy was shot to death in Marin City early Friday.
Initial details about the shooting on Cole Drive were sketchy as investigators worked throughout the morning, collecting evidence and interviewing residents.
"They are processing the crime scene now," noted a sheriff's spokesman.
"I don't know the motive" for the shooting," he added. This story will be updated.

Courage is one of the hardest things to exhibit and should be one of the hardest
things to notice. Courage is usually associated with the military at war or during some
kind of con?ict. I do believe it takes courage to put oneself in harm's way, and they who
do this have my deep respect. This kind of courage is easily noticed without question.
The type of courage I'm talking about is the courage hidden from most people.
Those people who are facing dif?cult times and always remain positive and happy rarely
are described as courageous. Only those who knowingly put their troubles on exhibition
are noticed. Is this courageous? To one degree, yes. But the cancer victim who
doesn't ask for a bene?t is truly courageous. The person who has my trials to deal with
and nobody knows about them are truly courageous. And of course the many sick
children in the world who smile for one day free of pain have more courage than should
be expected.
The goal should be for each of us to have courage to say our troubles mean very
little. We need not only to acknowledge others in need but to pray for them ahead of
ourselves. Yes, that would take courage - the type of courage only God will notice,
admire, and reward.

For what feels like the 50th time in the past five years, the New England Patriots slumped to another defeat just short of their ultimate goal. A loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship in 2013 can be added to a Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants in 2012, a divisional round upset to the New York Jets in 2011, another loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the Wildcard Round in 2010 and that infamous Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants in 2008.
Each season feels like a repeat of the previous for Patriots fans at this point. Even though any complaints will receive the empathy equivalent of a 21-year-old running out of his inheritance, the relative pain of consistently coming in second place will eventually take it's toll on Patriots fans. Not to mention, the team itself.
Revisiting the memories of a traumatic experience is never easy, but in order to understand why the ship continues to sink, the holes must be explored. For the Patriots, those holes may be perceived as being few and far between, but they are effective nonetheless. In fact, the first problem is one that the team cannot even control.
The Patriots prepare to win a Super Bowl ahead of every season. At least, that is the finish line that they are guiding themselves towards. The first hurdle on this trip comes in the form of the division. Playing in the AFC East has allowed the Patriots to make the playoffs in eight of the last nine seasons. With opposition such as the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets and Miami Dolphins having sporadic success over the past decade or so, the Patriots often spend a large chunk of their schedule playing games when they are able to steamroll the opposition in first gear.
Even when they do have a handful of tough opponents to overcome during the regular season, more often than not those games are spread out. Take this season as an example. Despite losing to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2, the Patriots first real playoff caliber of opposition came in Week 3, when they lost in the dying moments to the Baltimore Ravens. The Patriots were able to follow that game up with a blowout victory over the Buffalo Bills, when they weren't being pushed for four quarters. Two playoff teams followed the next two weeks, the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks, but the Patriots had it easy against Peyton Manning as he still dealt with the lingering issues of his neck surgeries.
After that loss in Seattle, the Patriots won a close game against the inferior New York Jets, when they made it tough on themselves. But even if you counted that as a playoff caliber test, the St. Louis Rams offered the Patriots another week when they didn't have to hit top gear at all. A surprisingly close fight at home with the Buffalo Bills followed the team's bye week, but then arrived an ordinary looking Andrew Luck. Luck's Colts were outclassed in Week 11, as the Patriots began the first of three easy games in a row. A blowout victory over the Houston Texans had fans thinking that this was their year, even more than they had previously, but after a short week they suffered the opposite side of that result against the San Francisco 49ers. Struggling to victory over the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars and shutting out the Miami Dolphins acted as the team's preparation for the playoffs.
Now, if you never played a sport(at any level), you likely won't understand the importance of playing quality opposition on a regular basis. It's almost impossible to push yourself to your limit on the field if you have a notable advantage over the team trying to stick with you. However, teams need to be pushed consistently. The term battle-hardened comes to mind. Consider the Baltimore Ravens, a battered and bruised team that will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. For all of the quality players that team lost throughout the season, they gained an edge and ability to sustain their best efforts on a weekly basis by battling in the AFC North with the Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers and even the upstart Cleveland Browns. The Ravens were able to understand their own flaws in the regular season, to then be prepared to work through them in the playoffs. The Patriots were never afforded that opportunity.
In order to win a Super Bowl, you have to beat three or four high quality teams within four or five weeks. After 16 games of lying in first, second, third or fourth gear, it's almost impossible to stay in fifth gear for that long. It's not about being the best team in the post-season, it's about playing your best football.
Surpassed the turbulence, or lack thereof, endured by the franchise during the season, their limitations on the field became obvious against the Ravens.
Most notably, the team's secondary played abysmal football. Joe Flacco threw for 240 yards and three touchdowns, but in reality he didn't have to work that hard for anything he did on the day. The lack of a pass rush was evident also, but the Ravens' excellent offensive line played a major part in giving their quarterback time to throw. Even though the Ravens have high quality players in the trenches, their receiving corps really isn't that good.

Safe Schools
Provide funding for school security
January 3, 2013
As we and others have mentioned, keeping our children safe in school will not be accomplished by banning some types of guns or through any single action....
MrAlex, First off guns do not belong in the hands of teachers. Professionalism takes a stand here. Either a law officer, or military officer, that has proper training. You can't just put a gun in the hand of anyone, and do a short training session. An official officer not only has training to handle guns, but also has knowledge of decoy and defense tactics. As far as God taken out of school, this didn't cause the situation to happen. Its just that maybe, this young man might have had a higher " Being " to think about before committing such a horrible act. Maybe so, maybe not, but will never know, will we? The bottom line is, this all starts with responsibility at home. If kids get sick we take them to a doctor. This should also apply to mental illness. If someone is simply mean, like a student, there is help for them also. If a parent cannot spot this, then they are either in denial themselves, or just not parenting! Unfortunately,innocent children and teachers paid ultimate

Not sure this qualifies as a workout, but I wanted to do something to jumpstart my recovery from Sunday's race, so walked / jogged 2 miles on the railtrail this morning. Active recovery seems to work best for me, so I make it a point to keep moving.
I dunno Dark Horse, we seem to be losing members. Mike, how're you doing?
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...
Rich, Sorry, I've been out of it the last week. I know your marathon didn't turn out the way you expected, but you finished and that in itself is an accomplishment to take some pride in.
My yellow jacket bite turned out to be a bit more serious then expected. 2 more trips to emergency before they were able to figure out that I had "serum sickness" (proteins in the bite caused an auto-immune response). Needless to say my 10K didn't go that well on Friday and I haven't done anything since. Hoping to run today tho, but we're in the middle of a heat wave, so we'll see...
Wow Ray, bee stings can be REAL serious, it's good to hear you're doing ok! When you stopped posting here I thought maybe it was something Dark Horse said. Just kidding D.H... lol
That marathon is forgotten. It was just one day of running that didn't go very well and I'm putting it behind me. I'm still upright and breathing, everything else is fluff...
Seriously, it's good to see you're back posting and doing ok.
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...
5 miles in ~47:30 followed by 1.1 mile walk - 99F. Thought temp was mid to low 90s, but nope pretty near 100F. Thought I must still be feeling the affects of the bite, probably so, but temp is probably a big factor too. Legs felt dead, but breathing better.
Never know, DH may have some influence on the insects out here
I've got a buddy who lives in Miami, Florida and I have no idea how he runs in the weather they have down there. Temps in the mid 90's and a dew point in the mid 70's. I'd melt.
Here in NH we get cold weather, but you can dress for it and still run. I don't know how you ran in the stuff you had today Ray, good for you getting that run in. And I would think being active like you were today will help get you back to feeling normal again.
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...
ACTIVE is the leader in online event registrations from 5k running races and marathons to softball leagues and local events. ACTIVE also makes it easy to learn and prepare for all the things you love to do with expert resources, training plans and fitness calculators.

MavPRINT Statistics
MavPRINT statistics help us forecast usage, prevent bottlenecks and find ways to control waste. We will also be able to tell how each printer is utilized so printers can be moved to locations where students might need them more. We can also rotate printers to provide uniform use and wear.
MavPRINT uses the same print management system, Pharos Uniprint, as hundreds of colleges and universities across the U.S. It is one of the best systems available for academic use.

LightersAs any good camper will tell you, the highlight of any camping trip is the campfire. Whether you are roasting S'mores, toasting your toes, or just watching the flames, there is something magical about the experience. However, no one is all that convinced of the magic while trying to light a challenging blaze.
We carry a number of lighters – from gas to waterproof matches – which will make the process easy. Once your fire is going strong, toss on a rainbow flame stick and enjoy the cascade of colors produced by the different salts inside. No muss, no fuss, and the kids will love every minute of it.

Beyonce is drawing fire for her decision to include a sound bite from the space shuttle Challenger disaster in her new song "XO," reports the Huffington Post.
In the song, which chronicles a troubled relationship, the final seconds contain an audio clip in which NASA public affairs officer Steve Nesbitt can be he heard to say, "Flight controllers here looking very carefully at the situation. Obviously a major malfunction." According to the Huffington Post and other sources, the communication is from a broadcast of the Mission Control Center in Houston after the Challenger exploded after takeoff on Jan. 28, 1986. The tragedy killed all seven crew members.
ABC News reported that several NASA officials anonymously complained about Beyonce's decision to use the sound clip in the song. Also, June Scobee Rodgers, the widow of Challenger Space Shuttle Commander Dick Scobee, told ABC News she's "disappointed" and said hearing the song was "emotionally difficult."
Former NASA employee Keith Cowing called on Beyonce to remove the audio segment from the song.
"Having this audio included in such a song serves to mock the severity of the events and loss that these final words represent," he wrote on his website. "... Beyonce owes the families of the crew of Challenger an apology."
Beyonce responded in a statement to ABC: "My heart goes out to the families of those lost in the Challenger disaster. The song 'XO' was recorded with the sincerest intention to help heal those who have lost loved ones and to remind us that unexpected things happen, so love and appreciate every minute that you have with those who mean the most to you. The songwriters included the audio in tribute to the unselfish work of the Challenger crew with hope that they will never be forgotten."

I recently decided to begin training for a marathon, after running only once a week for 5-7 miles for the past year or so. I started my own "training method" since I couldn't find one suited to my current level of fitness. I cross train Mon - Friday with a boot camp program. I began slowly 1-2 miles 3 days a week, and my longer run on Saturday, even scaling back to just 4-5 miles on Saturdays. I noticed pain in my left groin on my long runs, but nothing that was a deal killer. I went to a masseuse and she worked on that left leg for me, but later that night when I attempted a small run I felt a burning pain on the outside of that left leg. When I woke the next morning it not only hurt to walk, but I have a popping on the outside of my left leg with every step I take. I went to the Dr. and they said it was Runner's knee, AKA IT band tightness / injury. So the Doc I went to wanted to charge me lots and lots of money, and honestly after several visits he just wasn't doing anything. So I did my own research and found that a foam roller and stretching seemed to help a lot of runner's. I'm just worried because this is my second week of no running, and I'm itching to get back to it. Anyone else have any experience with this? Any suggestions on how to get this better, or how to get back into my running routine?
Thanks guys,
I am going through the same injury right now. Unfortunately, this is a repeat injury for me. The key here is to take it SLOW. I was advised by my doctor "no running for two weeks" and after only one, I am itching to get back out there! I am currently taking walks, going just a couple of miles, and slowly increasing mileage depending on how the knee feels. Last time I had this injury, I tried to recover quickly by not giving it enough time to heal..BAD IDEA! I wasn't able to run for about 6 months. Slow and steady really is the key here.
Foam roller, stretching, and the correct shoes/ support (insoles) really do wonders. When you do start running again, don't push yourself too hard. Good luck and here's to a quick recovery for both of us!
Christie, stretching IT band is controversial and tricky, take a look the short article IT band: Controversey Regarding Stretching. I am NOT a big fan of the foam roller, the logic escapes me. The fact that the problem is on one side of the body (left) is an important clue. Take a look at short article Symmetry - Asymmetry: Problem Solving Repetitive Ue Inury. In my experience hip knee problems which occur on one side of the body often have a lot to do with habitual asymmetrical sitting habits. Take a look at Buttock Hip Pain: Stretching Exercises particulary the photos.

Do either of you have some sort of program for increasing your running safely? I will take it as slow as I need to, just want to get better. It's so frustrating to be injured, and for me it's really scary. I am 150lbs. at 5'3 and have worked hard to stay at 150lbs. and not put weight back on. I'm terrified to see the scale creeping up on me. I have to work out, it's not just something I do for fun, it's for my health. Thank you both so much for your help. I have printed the articles to read today. Hopefully I'll find a fix!
Christieloop, in my experience if the manner of running (running form) is a factor in the development of IT band syndrome it is running with too long a stride or too long a step length. When you walk and run consciously strive to shorten your step length. Recognize for a given speed (velocity) step length is directly related to cadence. Shorten step length increase cadence. Do a browser search for "running cadence" for additional information, and strive to increase your cadence walking/running while keeping your speed the same. Again, your knee pain is one side of the body (left), so if you are running with too long of a stride you are running with too long of a stride on both the right and left side. Therefore you still need to identify why the left leg is experiencing more stress than the right - see above articles. In terms of increasing your running safely the quick answer is the "10% rule", however this rule has recently been questioned. Evidence does suggest that avoiding consecutive days running can help prevent injury, take a look at short article Consecutive Days.
Damien Howell PT, DPT, OCS
Damien - Thank you for that information! I'm a relatively new runner, and only run 3 miles every other day. I've been trying out a longer stride this week, and my knees are really hurting. I was guessing that was the problem, but it's good to have confirmation. The bummer is that I'm going to restrict myself to walking workouts for another week, but after that I'll be back to running--with shorter, faster strides. Thank you so much!
There is a load of information we could cover here, but I'll just mention a few things for further discussion later, if you so desire.
Most important, is the program you are looking for may not exist. Your story presents a unique set of circumstances that require a customized approach. You sensed this when you found no programs matching your individual needs. When Angie emphasizes the need to take time during recovery, she has the right idea. As they say, listen to your body. Pain will always trump programs, any day. Controlling your ambition is much tougher.
It is true that physicians have difficulty treating injuries that result from adult athletes training for marathons. Their education is directed towards issues requiring an uncommon knowledge base and a high degree of diagnostic skill. This is more a matter of common sense. In cases like these they tend to say, "stop running," because they know your body will eventually recover from the abuse of overtraining, as long as it stops. The concept of someone willingly beating themselves up is beneath their level of interest. They are not necessarily trained to deal tactfully with your athletic ambitions, and therein lies the problem, in my opinion.
Transitioning from being a weekly runner to a marathoner isn't easy for most people, but for you it should be harder. Your height to weight ratio suggests a stocky build that may need great patience to change, without a rare amount of durability to spare you from injury. Every now and then, you will run into someone who melted many pounds off, seemingly through exercise alone. It does not follow that anyone can do this. Their story is likely to have had a very different explanation.
The requirements for balanced endocrine, immune, digestive and other systems is more important than the musculoskeletal issues that exercise physiologists specialize in. For most people, weight loss has much less to do with exercise than with how their body generally functions. Exercise is beneficial, but not a panacea for all things morphological (it is rather the other way around for most of us). In some cases appetite increases and there is no weight loss. In others, the subject simply falls prey to one injury after another. The point here is not to lose hope, but to invest your energy where it will result in less disappointment, fewer injuries, and maximum results.
Damien mentioned the asymmetry of your injury or pain. If you've checked out the usual culprits, a slanted road surface or running tight turns in the same direction, and there is still no clue, seriously consider an anatomical asymmetry. It is quite common to have one leg shorter than the other, or a particular hip or foot structure that forces other structures to compensate during movement to achieve balance and efficiency. "Compensation" often leads to overuse injuries within training programs that otherwise have a high survival rate.
On the remedial side, I agree with Damien that stretching the ITB specifically is a waste of time, even though the movements involved in stretching often have tonic effects. The ITB is tensioned by hip and gluteal muscles in order to stabilize the knee. While this soft tissue group can become quite tight, it really can't be stretched much without pulling your leg apart. The purpose behind stretching in general, is to relax soft tissue, not to stress the joints. This is where foam-rolling or other massage techniques come into play.
The logic is to mobilize the tissue and the lymphatic fluids that maintain it, without stressing it with further exercise. In this way, some of the benefits of exercise and stretching are obtained without the risks associated with either. Where people go wrong with foam-rolling on the limbs, is to force lymphatic flow against the valves that prevent pooling of fluids in the extremities. Centrifugal force is checked by these valves, so it only makes sense to roll towards the heart, instead of rolling against the valves. Most foam-rolling videos ignore this, for the simple fact that it is a hassle to remove weight from the roller during the return stroke. Too bad, it needs to be done, even if it makes foam-rolling look awkward instead of easy. If the idea of humping a roller seems ridiculous, then learn another self-massage technique. Rollers are too general for many remedial tasks anyway.
Back to the weight issue, you may find that tweaking the timing and composition of your meals, and hydration, to be the fastest way to make changes. Most people grasp the concepts of eating healthy, but fail to address the timing in a meaningful way. When to eat and drink is often more important than what to eat. A glass of water 30 minutes before a meal gets better results than drinking "when you are thirsty," which is the latest trendy advice after the "8 glasses" myth was retired. Carbs late in the day not only convert to fat more easily, they interfere with weight-busting hormone production at night.
Forget any claims that sports drinks make. They are sometimes valid for hours of competition involving bursts of activity, but have no importance to the average endurance runner. Focus on whole foods and avoid smoothies and other liquid nutrition or concentrated "sport foods." Grain products are less healthy than the USDA food pyramid would suggest. Study glycemic loads of different foods. Your weight is reflecting how your body is handling what goes in. Exercise is more of a celebration of good health, which should be able to exist without it.
Any doctor should be able to tell you that weight is the leading contributor to knee pain, whether exercising or not. If you want your money's worth from a physician, get them to look for skeletal asymmetry and hormone levels, check you for blood-sugar spiking, look for gluten sensitivity, etc., which are things that affect injuries and weight. Musculoskeletal pain and exercise physiology are usually not their areas of expertise.

Some months it's actually difficult to keep track of the new menu introductions from the fast food chains, and March is certainly no exception. This time, we have new product news from Starbucks.
While some don't consider Starbucks to be fast food, it's important to keep in mind that the chain is relying more and more on its food items as an integral part of its future success. About half of Starbucks total sales occur before 11 a.m. So we shouldn't be surprised that earlier this month, they introduced four new breakfast sandwiches to the menu.
Let's take a peek "under the bun," as FoodFacts.com likes to say, and see what's really going on with these four brand new breakfast choices.
Vegetable & Fontiago Breakfast Sandwich
This new option certainly sounds healthy enough. It features Spinach, sundried tomatoes, caramelized onions and Fontiago cheese on a multigrain ciabatta bun. It also contains 470 calories, 17 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, and 910 mg of sodium. And while the ingredient list isn't the worst we've seen, you'll also enjoy some sulfur dioxide and caramel color.
Slow-Roasted Ham & Swiss Breakfast Sandwich
Simply ham, swiss cheese and egg on a croissant. Here you'll be eating 490 calories, 25 grams of fat, 12 grams of saturated fat and 830 mg of sodium. The saturated fat content equals 60 percent of your recommended daily intake. Not great. Natural flavors are included in the ingredient list, but there's nothing else controversial listed.
Reduced-Fat Turkey Bacon Breakfast Sandwich
Reduced-fat turkey bacon and reduced-fat white cheddar cheese on an organic wheat English muffin. This one actually is a better choice if you're looking for a Starbucks breakfast sandwich. With 230 calories, 6 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat and 560 mg of sodium, it's a lighter option. The English muffin is made with organic ingredients. Natural flavors appear in this ingredient list as well.
Egg & Cheddar Breakfast Sandwich
This new sandwich is simply described as egg and cheddar cheese on multigrain toast, which certainly doesn't sound bad. A closer look tells us that this simple sandwich will cost us 400 calories, 17 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat and 730 mg of sodium. We honestly weren't expecting to find this particular set of nutrition facts in this sandwich. The good news here, though, is that there are no controversial ingredients included in this one at all.
FoodFacts.com "under the bun" conclusion: There's definitely a mixed bag here. While most of these sandwiches are high in calories and fat (not to mention, saturated fat), the ingredient lists are better than many fast food breakfast choices available. The sandwiches aren't the worst we've seen … but with a little work, they could be a lot better.

The summer Turkmen course follows the communicative approach to language teaching and learning. Its primary goal is to enable learners to interact successfully in everyday and workplace situations in the target language and culture at a proficiency level established by ILR guidelines. Course materials promote communication through a variety of activities in the skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing. Authentic Turkmen language materials are used throughout the course and consist primarily of video- and audio-taped materials, as well as printed texts. Grammatical structures are presented within focused drills, while grammatical explanations and paradigms are kept to a minimum. In addition, lectures on Turkmen culture and dinners featuring national dishes are held on a weekly basis.
As the life in Turkmenistan changes very quickly some Project materials need to be updated. For this purpose the newspaper materials are extensively used by the instructors.

Unsurprisingly these wrapping papers, available to pre-order from fledgling wrapping paper company Gift Couture, are right up my street. Yes, as its very first project the company has devised a set of five burger-themed papers. Respect!
Gift Couture is taking pre-orders through kickstarter.com - where supporters of the project support the project with as much or as little financial help as they can muster.
Once a fund target of $7,900 has been reached, the company will start sending out paper to its backers and customers and more ideas (hopefully every bit as good as the cheeseburger papers idea) will have the opportunity to see the light of day.
