About Us > Newsroom > Chapman Foundation Funds Fellowship at Nation's #1 Respiratory Hospital
On Thursday, December 16, H.A. and Mary K. Chapman Charitable Foundation Trustees Donne Pitman and Jerry Dickman accepted the National Jewish Health Chairman's Award. Since 1978, the foundation has funded basic and clinical research at the leading research and treatment facility in the world for respiratory, cardiac, immune and related disorders. The most recent gift of $180,000 to National Jewish Health funded the Chapman Fellowship in the National Jewish Health Center for Genes, Environment and Health.
The Chapman Fellowship supports the work of Max Seibold, PhD, who has identified the strongest common genetic factor associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a disease that causes lung tissue to become thickened, stiff and scarred and impedes oxygen from entering the bloodstream.
"Our responsibility as stewards of the Chapman foundation is to benefit mankind. We believe that the support we give to National Jewish Health clearly meets that responsibility, and we are pleased to be associated with such a long-standing and preeminent world leader in the care and research of respiratory issues," said Dickman.
The Chairman's Award is bestowed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of National Jewish Health upon individuals whose volunteer efforts move National Jewish Health forward in important and constructive ways. The recipients' contributions on behalf of the institution strengthen our programs, raise awareness of our services and make new initiatives possible.
National Jewish Health is known worldwide for treatment of patients with respiratory, cardiac, immune and related disorders, and for groundbreaking medical research. Founded in 1899 as a nonprofit hospital, National Jewish Health remains the only facility in the world dedicated exclusively to these disorders. Since 1998, U.S. News & World Report has ranked National Jewish Health the #1 respiratory hospital in the nation.

only hard to dose with the droplets, but i love the taste
Great sugar replacement!
Posted by Reviewer1334965 on May 07, 2011
Stevia has no GI and works great as a sweetener. I just think that the recommendations on the bottle about serving size are not quite right. It says to use 5 drops which I found out is way to much! I never use more than 3 drops. In a BIG smoothie for instance I put max. 2 drops and that's more than enough! Very efficient!

I had read about how the taste and quality of Stevia can vary, I was very pleased with this brand.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's basketball team will travel north to take on Central Michigan as part of the 2012 Sears BracketBusters, it was announced today. The Islanders and Chippewas will do battle on Saturday, Feb. 18, at 7 p.m. in Mount Pleasant, Mich. It will be the first meeting between the Islanders and CMU.
BracketBusters is in its 10th year of existence in 2012. The event pits teams from several non-BCS conferences against each other in hopes of bolstering their NCAA Tournament resume. A total of 142 teams (from 16 conferences) are taking part in this year's BracketBusters event, including all 12 Southland institutions.
As part of next year's Bracketbusters, the Islanders will host a game in the event next season at the American Bank Center, with that opponent selected approximately three weeks beforehand. A&M – Corpus Christi also will receive a return game from Central Michigan at a date to be determined before the end of 2013.
Three Southland Conference teams have previously participated in a total of four BracketBusters games. Northwestern State has previously played in two BracketBusters matchups and rode its first appearance in 2006 at Utah State to a first-round upset over Iowa in the NCAA Tournament. The Demons also met Tennessee Tech in a BracketBusters game. Stephen F. Austin also played in the 2006 event and Sam Houston State played in 2007. While the conference is winless in its four previous BracketBusters games, which have all been played on the road, the league won all four of the guaranteed return games the next year.
This week, the Islanders will embark on a three-game, six-day road trip, with games at Nicholls, Northwestern State and Savannah State. A&M – Corpus Christi opens the trip with a Wednesday, Feb. 1, matchup with the Colonels in Thibodaux, La., at 7 p.m. Steven King will have the call on NewsRadio 1360 KKTX and on GoIslanders.com.

OBJECTIVE: To provide a forum for the open exchange of Government and Industry views related to the Department of Defense ammunition area. Specific objectives include:1. Review and discuss Government ammunition acquisition policies, procedures, and actions.2. Report on the health of the various sectors of the ammunition industry.3. Identify impediments to sustaining a responsive ammunition industrial base.4. Provide a platform for identifying issues related to the ammunition life-cycle, from development through disposal.
MEMBERSHIP: The Industrial Committee of Ammunition Producers (ICAP) is formed from the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) corporate membership consisting of executives from defense Industry producers of ammunition and ammunition components. Membership positions will be as follows:
AREAS OF REPRESENTATION AND TERM: Each member of the ICAP is expected to represent a discipline or sector of the ammunition community as described above. Members serve for two years, with approximately half changing each year to maintain continuity. Members may serve longer or shorter terms at the recommendation of the Chairman and the concurrence of the Vice President of Operations, NDIA.
MEETINGS: The ICAP meets at the call of the ICAP Chairman at sites and times convenient to the membership.
FOCUS: Topics of interest for discussion by the ICAP will be solicited from NDIA members within the ammunition community and from interested Government agencies. Outside speakers will be invited as needed to address the topics. No consensus advice or recommendations resulting from group deliberation or interaction is expected. The intent is to share an open exchange of information or viewpoints between attendees rather than to formulate collaborative advice, opinions or recommendations from the ICAP acting in a collective mode.
GOVERNMENT PARTICIPANTS: Because the objective of the ICAP is the open exchange of Government and Industry views, Government attendance is encouraged. The NDIA Chairman may issue invitations to various Government organizations to request Government attendance at the ICAP, consistent with the DoD Joint Ethics Regulation. These Government participants will not be involved in the management or control of the ICAP or other NDIA activities. The NDIA Chairman intends to extend invitations to the following Government organizations to participate in ICAP meetings, but members of the ICAP may suggest or request at any time that other Government organizations participate or provide liaisons.

SONOMA -- Jamie McMurray has been in this position before. But this time, he's going to take a different approach come race day.
On Saturday, McMurray won the pole for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway, matching his feat of 2007.
McMurray hopes that's the only similarity to 2007.
"I remember sitting on the pole the last time and not sleeping the whole night worrying about strategy," McMurray said. "When I got to Turn 1, I ran off the track and came out 35th or 40th, then it didn't matter."
McMurray finished 37th.
On Saturday, McMurray, running in the last group in NASCAR's new road-course qualifying format for the Sprint Cup Series, posted a lap of 94.986 mph to edge Marcos Ambrose (94.924 mph).
"We were second and fifth in practice (Friday), so, consistently, we have had a really good car this weekend," McMurray said.
The past six Toyota/Save Mart 350 victors were first-time road-course winners. McMurray becomes a favorite to stretch that streak to seven.
He has a history of doing well at Sonoma. In 2004, he finished second to Jeff Gordon. In other years, McMurray has driven well, only to run into bad luck, with 2007 being the prime example.
But this time, McMurray says he's not going to worry about his strategy starting on the pole.
"I'm going to let everyone else worry about it, and I'll just do what they tell me," he said.
Previously, qualifying was single-lap, which meant, if a driver made a mistake, he didn't get a second (or third) chance.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., who qualified 26th, likes the new format.
"This is the way they should have done it for years," he said. "It's a lot easier to get everything done and get everything accomplished, and it gives us a little bit more exciting session to watch. So I'm all for it."
What if Ambrose hadn't had an off-on engine problem just before he began his lap? Would he have gained the five-hundredths of a second that would have given him the pole?
"The motor quit running. I lost all momentum coming to the green flag," said Ambrose, who still posted the second-fastest speed.
Ambrose's engine stall was mysterious, as was the fact that it somehow refired as Ambrose reached the starting line. The problem was thought to be electrical.
But crew chief Jimmy Fennig had other ideas, taping up the car's air ducts for an aerodynamic edge. At the same time it meant the car had less cooling air, limiting Edwards to one lap or risk overheating.
"The qualifying format was supposed to be easier on the drivers, because we were supposed to get a couple of laps," Edwards said. "But my crew chief taped the grille off and said that we'd get just one lap."
The strategy worked. Edwards went 94.779 mph, good enough for third on the grid. That's the best starting position Edwards has had at Sonoma. Over the years, qualifying here had not been his strong suit.
"I've messed up qualifying a lot of different ways, but this is probably the best lap I've ever had here, so I'm pretty proud of that," Edwards said.
Villeneuve, the 1997 Formula One world champion and 1995 Indianapolis 500 winner, has gained notoriety in NASCAR for his reckless driving in stock cars. Last year, in a Nationwide Series race at Road America, he spun Patrick on the last lap, ruining what had been a good run for her. Other drivers have hinted that they don't like seeing Villeneuve in their mirrors.
"Their outlook on me is a little bit biased," Villeneuve said. "I'm not as aggressive as they think. So it's just an image that has happened, and was built, and it got out of control and I'm not sure why."

There always seems to be a stigma with reviews of Phish shows, that someone's review or opinion is almost always wrong about how good or bad a given show is. More recently since the return of Phish, shows have either been tagged with the label of "epic", "best show ever", or "worst show ever". Rarely in reviews does one read about a show that was simply solid, with high energy and great fun all the way around. A show where the setlist had good balance, the sound of the venue was excellent, and the band and the crowd were in high spirit. A show where no particular song crumbled, but a couple stood out as inspirational and emotional markers of the evening. And more importantly, a show you were so glad to be at or kicking the dirt because you were not. A show like the one that took place during the late fall of 1996 in the desolate tiny town in the Great Plains known as Omaha, NE. My intention of this review is not to hype up an underrated show to acclaim some certain status, but to intrigue fans to go and download or trade for this show to enhance their listening pleasure.
One reason this show might be masked of its greatness could be due to what went down at the infamous "M" show on the night before in St. Louis. We drove from Bowling Green, KY only to hit St. Louis. After such a great show, my girlfriend (now wife), along with two roommates were standing in the Kiel Center lot confused as to whether we wanted to drive back home on such a solid note, or to utilize our post-show high energy to hoof it to Omaha. We decided to at least head towards Nebraska and decide by the time we got to Kansas City. We figured if not, then hang out in Kansas City and go home on the following day. So we arrived in Kansas City and slept on our decision.
Naturally, we decided to finish the trip right and head to Omaha. We didn't know what to expect so we ordered four Will Call tickets to be safe from a sold-out show. When we arrived in Omaha, the weather was biting cold with freezing rain. As we drove past the venue the marquee read, "Tonight Phish" and just below, "Sold Out". After a swipe of the brow and "thank goodness we called earlier" heard throughout the car, we proceeded to the lot, which was cold, wet, slippery with ice, and quiet as everyone wanted in when the doors opened.
Inside, the venue was rather small (compared to most Fall 1996 venues and thereafter). The venue had a nice personal feeling to it because of its size. Both the floor and the seats were general admission so we decided to park it right behind the stage in the front row by Page...literally. Sitting in my seat, I would rest my feet on the stage floor, as Page was not too far in front of my seat. The sound and lights from our location were excellent. A nice feature of sitting behind the stage is having a similar view as the band. Our expectations for the show were low (because of the "M" show), but we were still excited to be in such a small venue in the middle of nowhere seeing Phish.
After absorbing the first set's energy by finally getting to sit down during set break, the four of us knew we drove all the way here for a reason and that reason was firmly established during the second set. The La Grange opener set a nice opening tone with another reminder that we were in Omaha, getting down to some ZZ Top style country rock and roll. None of us had seen Phish do this number before (and have yet to see it since), which increased our excitement. Following La Grange was a dark Runaway Jim. As this jam vehicle launched away, there was this immediate feeling of intensity and indifference that eventually led to a deconstructed breakdown into this hum, which began to overtake the sound.
At first it was annoying and I think many were waiting for Paul to fix a feedback problem. But then Trey began to narrate and everyone got interested real fast as he described, defined, and gave us all, the Vibration of Life! After Trey announced that the VOL had been written by God, the vibe slid right into Kung. With this only being my second Kung since my first show (10/29/95), I was very excited.
Many of the jams so far in the evening were taking on a dark connotation, with heavy use of red, yellow, and white lights from Kuroda. Thus Kung fit right into the theme. Soon after the chant, the odd calypso beat of Catapult sprung in as Mike performed gypsy-like dancing at the front of stage while waving a purple handkerchief. To break from this odd but rather amusing part of the show, the band jumped right into Axilla.
This heavy rocker immediately built the energy back up before taking on more of the dark style of jamming and chanting during the slow outro. The chant involved some shouting between Trey and Fish involving Leigh Fordham. A creepy Axilla nonetheless and well worth a listen. What came next would be what I would consider one of the most energetic, emotional, and inspirational moments out of my seventy seven show Phishtory, and that moment occurred during Hood. During the "Harry" portion of the song, the band altered the lyrics referencing Leigh Fordham, once again adding to the mystery of what the story behind Leigh Fordham was all about. As we all know, Leigh popped up again in the lyrics to 46 Days.
Anyway, this Hood could very well be the top version that I have heard and seen. All Hoods are a blessing, in my opinion, but during this particular version, Trey held this one note for just over four minutes while pumping his arm and fist in the air. He motioned to the crowd as if he were saying, "Come on, feel this moment, this it, this is why you are here and all of us in this room are connected on the same level of musical euphoria". And it worked, as the crowd roared throughout this everlasting moment, and Trey broke out of the note to finish the jam. If you are looking for a touching goosebump type of song, get this show for this version of Hood.
My buddy was really hoping for a Harpua sometime during the show and especially loves the line "we're coming to your town, we'll help you party down". Well, he was at least satisfied when they encored with the debut of We're An American Band, where the same line appears all throughout the song. This song fittingly has Omaha references and maintained a high energy send-off.
The show ended a bit early (between 10:30-10:45pm) due to a heavy ice storm that was taking place during the show. We were slipping and sliding to our car only to find over an inch of ice on the windshield. It was a hectic drive, but the eighteen hour drive home in snow and ice was well worth it. From the Fall of 1995 to the Summer of 2003, this show stands out as one of the most fun and solid shows that I have attended, and I highly recommend it to anyone who does not have it in his collection.

Hi. I will be finishing up C25K in just under 2 weeks - I did W8D1 today and ran 2.8 miles fairly comfortably. Before Memorial Day I had never run a day in my life unless I was in danger of missing the train. Although I'm not scheduled to run my first 5K race until September, I want to move on to a 10K training program after "graduation" to keep me motivated and am looking for recommendations on a good program. I'm not in any hurry to run a 10K (I'd like to run several 5K's first) so length of program doesn't matter - I just like structure. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Deb~Congratulations on your success with C25K! I started the program in January at age 53, and thanks to it, I completed a handful of 5ks and my first 10k two weeks ago. I trained using the Hal Higdon 10k novice program, and it prepared me well for the race. The schedule of running 3 days a week, cross training and rest days worked with my schedule and my preference for a structured program, also. The long runs occur on weekends,(you can tailor this to your needs) and the increase of .5 mile each week was attainable. The training included strength & cross training days, I felt the weight work made a huge difference in increasing endurance with the side benefit of toning muscles. You can print out the program, or sign up for daily updates for a $9.95. I opted to use the update option for encouragement and the daily kick-out-the-door! I will begin novice half marathon training program through Hal Higdon in 2 weeks, and hopefully it will provide great as well. Best wishes with whatever training you choose, and run strong as you complete C25K and your first 5k race in Sept.! Please, let us know how it went for you.
Hi - I also am just finishing C25K and would like a good programme to continue with up to 10k. Have had great support on this site and loads of good advise! Will look at the Hal Higdon plan and another recommended to me is Jeff Galloway, so will look at both. I started C25K middle of May and can't believe how far I have come, from no running since school days (I also am 53!) and now I am running 3 miles in under 31mins! I never thought I would enjoy running so have surprised myself. I think it is the personal challenge that spurs me on and now that I can do 5k, I want to go further!
Thanks! I was looking at Hal Higdon and wondered how it was in actual practice. I've been wanting to add in strength training but never seem to make it to the gym. But, if it's part of the training program that might give me extra incentive! It's always encouraging when others of my generation (I'm 46) are also "new" runners. Good luck with your 1/2 marathon training.
Hi Leslie. Let me know what you think of the Jeff Galloway program when you check it out. I'll look at both and we can compare notes. I've also heard of One Hour Runner but I can't find any details on it yet. I agree, there is tremendous support on this site.
Sorry about that, it should have read "Hi Lesley".
Deb~I really want to run a HM with my 24 yr. old next May. Both my sons ( ages 24 & 12) have been my 'coaches' through this jouney. I used to be the one yelling "You can do this!" during cross country events, but now I hear their voices echoing the encouragement just when I need it. I love that the tables have turned in this way.
Lesley~Fantastic time for your 3 mile run! Isn't it amazing when you recall what you were experiencing those first weeks of C25K? You did it, be proud of all you have accomplished. I don't know about you, but at 54, I have never felt healthier in my life!
Run strong, friends!

The longest-running musical in the world will come to the Mid-Ohio Valley beginning Friday.
"The Fantasticks" originally opened in 1960 in Greenwich Village in New York and featured Tom Jones - not the singer but the show's writer; Jerry Orbach, who later went on to star in "Law & Order" on TV; and Broadway and television actress Rita Gardner.
Director Kevin Paskawych proposed doing the musical at the Mid-Ohio Valley Players Theatre. The show features popular songs like "Try to Remember," "It Depends on What You Pay," and "Soon It's Gonna Rain."
"The music sounds very simple and folksy and even younger audiences will find the songs very catchy and humorous," he said.
The show is MOVP's musical for the season and was last performed in the area at Marietta College in 2002.
"I was involved in that production and am very familiar with the show but this is my first time ever to direct a musical," Paskawych said.
Fact Box
If you go
What: The Fantasticks, a timeless musical by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt; sponsored by Dr. William Cline.
Where: Mid-Ohio Valley Players Theatre, 229 Putnam St., Marietta.
When: Jan. 17-18, 24-25, 31 and Feb. 1 at 8 p.m.; Jan. 26 at 3 p.m.
Tickets: $13 adults, $11 seniors/students, $8 youth (to 16).

Cast list
El Gallo - Christopher Nicholson
Luisa - Robin Kelby
Matt - Brandon Humphrey
Hucklebee - Mark Abicht
Bellomy - Debbie Lawson
Mortimer - Scott Buchanan
Henry - George Litman
Mute #1 - Payton Burkhammer
Mute #2 - Hannah Taylor
Directed by Kevin Paskawych and Karen Pratt-Paskwaych
While there have been some cast and crew changes and scheduling issues, everyone has adjusted nicely and is ready to present an exceptional production, according to Paskawych, who credits his wife and co-director/choreographer Karen Pratt-Paskawych with doing a lot to keep things moving along.
Belpre resident Robin Kelby, 16, stepped in to the production about three weeks ago to take on the role of "Luisa" when another actor had to bow out. Since then, she has been working overtime to learn her lines and songs.
"I have watched the movie and was somewhat familiar with the show," Kelby said, adding that Luisa is the "total opposite" of her own personality.
"She is innocent and sheltered, reads a lot, dreams of being a princess who is carried off by a prince, and is just looking for more than what her life is - but she is kind of a ditz," she said.
Luisa is the daughter of one family who is in love with "Matt," the son of a neighbor. There is a very "Romeo and Juliet" quality to the families' relationship.
While Kelby has had to catch up to the rest of the cast to learn the part, she is no stranger to the stage. Her first production was "Cotton Patch Gospel" at the Actors Guild in Parkersburg in 2006, in which she acted with her mother, Susan. Other performances have included "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Godspell" at the Guild and "Oliver" and "The Miracle Worker" at MOVP.
In his first production with the Mid-Ohio Valley Players, Chris Nicholson, 30, plays "El Gallo."
"He is the narrator but also the villain ... I spend the majority of time on stage," he said.
The 2001 Marietta High School graduate describes himself as a singer with a baritone voice, perfect for the mysterious and nefarious character.
Nicholson also had to learn a little swordplay, which he said was a bit comical at first while the actors were figuring out what to do.
"Karen mapped it out for us and it has gotten better as we become more comfortable," he said. "I am involved in all of the fights and it has been a lot of fun."
For Junior Players veteran Payton Burkhammer, 14, "The Fantasticks" is her first foray into a more "adult" production. As "Mute #1," Burkhammer doesn't actually have any lines but plays an integral role.
"I would describe my character as the silent manipulator ... it has been very interesting, very different," she said.
"The Fantasticks" will be presented Jan. 17-18, 24-25, 31 and Feb. 1 at 8 p.m. and Jan. 26 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $13 adults, $11 seniors/students, $8 youth (to 16), with opening night being buy one, get one free. For more information and ticket locations, visit www.midohiovalleyplayers.org.

Program Aims to Attract More Female Coders
Among the most uncomfortable of tech stories is the one about women in tech; or rather, the lack thereof. Much is written, little is learned.
The launch earlier this week of Code First: Girls is an attempt to redress the tech gender imbalance. It is an initiative from Entrepreneur First, a program to persuade graduates to forgo careers in the finance or business and become entrepreneurs.
The launch, held in the impressive surroundings of the City of London's Guildhall, was, as a man, a rather unusual event. Typically any tech event is dominated by men, with just a smattering of women. This event was like a photographic negative. I was one of very few men, and the panel was comprised entirely of women.
Alice Bentinck, chief operating officer of Entrepreneur First, who introduced the evening, said the program was to address three main issues holding back women in startups:
"Too many women lack the basic skills. Having a basic understanding [of coding] is the first step in turning your idea from just that, an idea, into something people can use," she said.
"Women often say they don't feel ready. But a recent report showed that women consistently underrate their skills when compared to males. The course is about giving women confidence. Finally it is about meeting mentors and role models."
Why the course is necessary would involve a dive deep into gender politics and run the very large risk of sexual stereotyping, so let's not go there.
Avid Larizadeh, cofounder of jewelry and accessory marketplace Boticca, and a speaker, said that in her experience both running a startup and in working for companies like eBay , women coders do bring different skills.
"Women bring a completely different way of looking at code. It is a gender difference: you see it in finance, you see it in business," she said.
"We have a young woman developer. Her skills are different from the men. She is more detail-orientated and her pair-programming makes a better result at the end of the day."
Ms. Larizadeh also suggested that given that around half of your users are likely to be female, having female input into all aspects of your product is probably wise.

Hot-shooting Highlanders Roll over Knox College
November 20, 2013
The MacMurray College men's basketball team improved to 2-1 overall with a 94-69 victory over Knox College (1-2) tonight in their home opener. The Highlanders shot an impressive 62.9% from the field (including 66.7% from behind the 3-point arc) and had four players in double-figures in the win over the Prairie Fire.
Coach Todd Creal's team got 52 of their 94 points off the bench and was led by reserves Dylan Guthrie and Hunter Sutton who each had a game-high fifteen points. Brady Slagle added twelve points, five rebounds and a game-high six assists. Dylan Burton had ten points, six rebounds and two blocked shots; and Clayton Whitlock added nine points and five rebounds.
David Jones and Mitch Murphy led Knox College with twelve points apiece.
The Highlanders will be back in Wall Gymnasium on Saturday night when they host St. Louis Christian College in a 7PM tip.

Final Four Weekend: The Top Four Teams, Coaches and Games since 2000
Chris Richards was not a starter for the 2007 Gators. Lee Humphrey, the sharp shooting guard was the other starter. He holds the record for most 3's in NCAA tournament history. I'd take that team any day against any team.
How does the 2012 Champion Wildcats not make this list? They only lost 2 games all year and won the Championship pretty easily….with a bunch of freshmen.
This guy must not like Kentucky not to include UK. They had a record of 38-2, to which one game was lost by 1 pt. They proved dominance in the tourney by beating teams by double digits to the final 4 where they beat both UL and Kansas by 8 pts. What team was more dominant in a season than that one. Then they sent 6 players to the NBA, 5 in the first round. The other teams were good, but that UK team was the first team that showed pure dominance for a season.
I agree that the Duke vs Butler title game was phenomenal. I am not particularly a Duke fan, but that game left no bitter taste in my mouth. Well played by both teams and definitely memorable.

Cheesy Potato Tots
First of all, I'm going to ask you all to step forward and admit that at one time or another, you've made cheesy potatoes. You know the kind I'm talking about, made with frozen hash browns, canned cream of chicken soup, sour cream and cheddar cheese. If you don't admit to it, I'll understand, but I'm going to have to call you a bold-faced liar and then we'll just agree to disagree, K?
Cheesy potatoes are kind of my signature dish. They're often requested for family get-togethers and potlucks. Who am I to deny family and friends of their favorite potato dish even though it's totally Sandra Lee and requires no culinary skills whatsoever. I comply with their request and accept the accolades. Done deal.
Well, a few weeks ago I got a little over zealous with the old cheesy potatoes and decided to make a double batch. One batch was going to work with hubby for a take-in lunch, and the other batch was to be used as a side dish for the "fish extravaganza" weekend I was going to have with my friend. Needless to say, I had cheesy potatoes coming out my ears (great visual, eh?) and I needed to find a way to serve them that would be different and interesting. Thus the birth of the deep-fried cheesy potato tot. And can I just tell you? (said in my best Sandra Lee voice) that these are to die for. I plan on tucking this recipe away and making these for my Christmas Eve appetizer buffet. I'll most likely have to forge the written note from my physician, however.
Cheesy Potato Tots (makes about two dozen)
2-3 cups leftover cheesy potatoes, cold
pickled jalapeno slices, optional
1 cup all-purpose flour
salt and pepper
2 whole eggs, whisked with a couple of tablespoons of water and a couple of dashes of hot sauce
2 cups panko bread crumbs
vegetable oil
Roll cold cheesy potatoes into 3/4" balls. If you're feeling sassy, place a slice of jalapeno pepper in the center.
Place potato balls onto a plate that has been lined with wax paper. Place balls in freezer for a least an hour. This will make them much easier to handle when you coat them.
Heat approximately 4 inches of vegetable oil in heavy pot or deep fryer to 375 degrees.
Place flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper.
Place whisked eggs in another shallow dish.
Place panko bread crumbs into a third shallow dish.
Dredge potato balls in the flour, then dip them into the egg wash, then coat them with the panko crumbs. Gently drop the balls into the heated oil and fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Oh Mags, you had me at potato! Like you, I adore the glorious spud and I happily admit to making cheesy potatoes (which go really well with baked ham). Love them. I love the jalapeno addition to this recipe too. I have held off buying a deep fryer because, quite frankly, I don't trust myself not to deep fry everything (hello Paula Deen!! lol). I will give these a try though. They look delish!

This is a killer idea! Here in Utah we call them funeral potatoes and add sour cream to the sauce. I know I'd love your deep fried, spiced up version. How fun.

Oh, you've done it again Mags. Although, luckily I've never had to do a 12-step program, I'm willing to stand up and say "My name is Barbara and I love cheesy potato tots (and even regular old tater tots too)." Are you possibly what's called an enabler?"

Mags, You crack me up:) I'm a little too wimpy for the jalapenos, but the rest sounds YUM! Yes, cheesy potatoes are a family favorite, but we call the dish Potato Cheese casserole and we don't use frozen potatoes. Sometimes we add cubed ham:)

Our version is hashbrowns, sour cream, green onion, cheese, salt and pepper. Sooooo good and yet soooo bad for you. Thank heaven for our health that we only get it around the holidays and funerals.

Adventure: Food of the Gods (DM: ryryguy, Judge: renau1g)Food of the Gods
On the southwestern edge of Daunton's Inner Harbor, almost directly across the water from the Commons, squats an aged brownstone building. It shares a square with several taller, younger, and more gaudy arrivals, the likes of which have sprung up in recent years across the Inner Harbor like mushrooms, status symbols for the city's ascendant merchant princes.
In comparison, the brownstone looks a little dowdy. But it is classy, clean and obviously well cared for. The front door features a wooden sign over a polished brass knob. The sign reads simply, "Silverships Transit".
More impressive is the sailing vessel moored at the small wharf on the water-side of the building. A thirty-footer with lean, graceful lines, built from dark, polished wood, the sloop's sails are furled, but both the mast and the rolled sailcloth are bright silver, gleaming in the afternoon sunlight. The sloop's name is painted on the bow in green letters: "Wisp"

Notes for PlayersWelcome to Food of the Gods!
Like in all good D&D games, the number one rule is to have fun. If there's ever anything that's getting in the way of your fun, please don't hesitate to send me a message about it. Any suggestions for improvements are also welcome. I'm a pretty experienced DM, but this is my first time doing it through play-by-post, so I expect there will be plenty for me to learn!
Posting GuidelinesI will try to post at least once a day, and ask that players try to post that often as well. If we're waiting for one player to post, I will wait at least 48 hours before NPCing the character's action for the round. Please post in thread or send me a private message if you know you'll be unable to post for an extended period of time.
Other than that, just the standard stuff:
Use an online die roller such as Invisible Castle.
Pick a color to use for your character's dialogue.
Use "ooc" sblocks to hide out of character disquisitions. I like to use dark slate gray text for short, one or two sentence OOC comments; you are welcome to do so as well.
Mini stat blocks at the bottom of posts containing combat moves really help.
CombatI'm planning to use the "Malenkirk Rules" for running combats. You can follow the link to read the full scoop, but here are the basics (taken from Mal's post):
1 - I roll all initiatives. Waiting two days before everyone has had the chance to roll theirs is a waste of time.
2 - I roll a single initiative for my bad guys and play them all in the same turn. It loses some of the tabletop experience but it plays a lot faster than individual initiative.
3 - If you haven't posted your PC's action in two days, I usually run your PC at some point late in the third day of inactivity. Warn me in advance if you don't believe you can post for more than two days.
4 - I don't care in what initiative order you post; your action takes place at exactly the moment you post and as long as you only act once per round, it's all good. (If you want your action to take place after another player who has not yet posted, either wait for them to post or indicate that you're delaying in your post.)
Skill UseWhile roleplaying, you can generally roll a skill check whenever you think it's appropriate.
I will also post blocks with a skill and target DC, and indicate whether that DC is for active or passive use of the skill. If it's a passive target on a knowledge skill, usually that means that you either succeed or fail, and can't make an active check. If you can make an active check, I'll indicate that.
Finally, I will nest skill check blocks inside each other. What this means is that the inner skill blocks are "gated" by the outer ones. If you don't succeed at whatever check you need for the outer block, you can't make the check for the inner ones. But if the inner block says "same check", don't make a separate check, use the same check you used for the outer one.
This is a bit of an experiment. The idea is to simulate general knowledge, which anyone with a certain level of skill would know, then more specific tidbits of information that different individuals might or might not know - but if they didn't know the common knowledge, they wouldn't know the specific knowledge either.
Here's an example:
History DC 10 (passive)Warforged in Daunton are created in the Last Forge at the Great Library.
History DC 15 (passive)A warforged named Tender guards and maintains the Last Forge.
History DC 15 (active)Tender is said to have only left the Last Forge once, to come to the aid of Arek Steelsheath when she needed repair.
History DC 20 (same check)That story is wrong; Tender actually sent his apprentice to repair Arek. Tender has never left the forge.
History DC 25 (active)Tender is fond of a particular grade of oil made from pressed green olives.
Ok, so the example is pretty complex; I probably won't use a real one anywhere near that crazy. But here's how it breaks down.
History +0 (passive 10): You know the stuff in the first block about the forge.
History +5 (passive 15): You also know the stuff in the second block about tender, and can make two active history checks.
First active check: if you get 15 or better, you know the story about Tender repairing Arek. If you get 20 or better, you know the story is false.
Second active check: if you get 25 or better, you know about Tender's favorite oil.
It's the honor system for not reading inside blocks you don't qualify for. Actually, I don't really mind if you do read inside the blocks, as long as you keep your player and in-character knowledge separate. It's up to you.

"Does anyone else get the scent of fish?" Jynxx wrinkles his nose and shakes his head, trying to clear the smell from his senses. The bard smirks as he enters his companions heads, "Don't worry, we don't have to speak out loud if you don't desire. Such a trait is handy to have no? Anyways, do not fear your thoughts. If you do not desire the link, simply think so and I will leave. Do know, that my abilities are limited to mere words and a minor distance. I cannot tell what you are thinking, nor track you if you become lost."
Jynxx ducks back, hoping his new companions don't feel the need to attack him.
Hiya! I have one approval for Jynxx and am waiting on my second. I thought it would be an interesting time to let the goliath and the deva know about the telepathy trait lol. It will make planning easier I hope. Anyways, here's to a great start for a great game!!

Chaku tilts his head to one side as Jynxx tryies to explain his telepathy, most of it beyond his understanding. I do not mind this... link, but is it everything someone thinks? I get distracted easily, and if you try and do this while we are fighting, you will probably get a headache from all the yelling. Chaku smiles at the thought of Jynxx in a bloodrage, but quickly shakes it off in case Jynxx was reading his thoughts just then. Well played bard. he thinks after.
Silverships transit. I think this is the place... oooooooh my, that's a pretty boat. Hey Jynxx, looks like you aren't the prettiest thing in the harbor anymore! Laughing at his own joke, he casually opens the door for his two companions, looking down the way they came for anyone else approaching.

Azryah walks briskly towards through the harbor. She starts a bit, nearly skipping a step, when she hears Jynxx's voice in her head and turns to look at him with both eyebrows raised in astonishment.
"You continue to surprise me. I feel journeying with you will be quite interesting indeed."
She smiles and continues along the docks toward the aforementioned building, chuckling a little at Chaku's comment about the boat. She nods thanks to the Goliath as he holds the door for them and steps inside. Finding someone likely to help, she says:
"Hello, my name is Azryah. My friends and I are here to inquire about the notice we saw posted in the tavern. Is there someone we could speak to regarding it?"
OOCAz is still awaiting one approval as well, just for the record.

Papolstaanas approaches the docks with the air of someone who has had to ask a lot of directions from people in order to get there. "Here it is, I think!" he calls out to Kaeysari.
When he sees Chaku, his normally diffident manner drops, although he has never spoken to the goliath before. "LOUDTOE!" he shrieks happily and bursts into laughter. "It's such a--HAHAHAHA--excellent name--eheheheh--for him, it really is. Heeheehee! I hope I don't--eheh--get struck down by whatever--hahaha--by whatever Loudtoe strikes people down with, heheh! Heheheh! When, eheh, when he is displeased with them. Uhuh. Uhuhuhuh. Heh." Finally getting it together, he says, looking up at Chaku, "Sorry, I just thought that was really funny. I'm Papolstaanas. Are you here about the Silverships thing as well?"
oocYou guys looks like you could use some defenders.

Passing through the door, the three adventurers find themselves in what is obviously a waiting room. There are several wooden chairs and benches arranged around a low table. Old copies of the Screamer lie on the table alongside tide charts and tables of shipping destinations and prices. The walls are bare except for a couple of token paintings of ships sailing across angry seas.
Towards the rear of the room is a staircase leading up to a closed door. Next to the staircase is a desk, and behind the desk is a man. He's wearing a nice tunic, but despite that he's rather scruffy looking, with a mustache, shaggy hair, and several colorful tattoos partially visible around his neck and hands.
He gives the group a sizing-up glance. "You here about the pick-up job?" he growls. "Boss is in a meeting, but she'll be done soon. Have a seat."
History or Streetwise DC 10 (passive)Silverships Transit is one of the largest shipping and trading houses in Daunton. The distinctive silver sails of its ships are a common sight in Daunton's harbors.
History or Streetwise DC 15 (passive)The owner of Silverships Transit is a half-elf named Hedra Silverships. Unlike many of the merchant lords and ladies of Daunton who inherited their wealth, she is a self-made success. It's said that her first ship was an aged, leaky garbage scow for which she traded a mule and a wagon full of mixed musical instruments. From those humble beginnings she built a trading empire. Shipping remains her primary business, but she also has interests in a number of other businesses in and around Daunton.
Perception DC 15 (passive)From behind the closed door you can hear two female voices. It's hard to make out what they are saying, but as the speakers are moving closer to the door, you can make out a couple of sentences:
"... in time for the ceremony, it will be a great disappointment."
"High Priestess, I can't offer guarantees in my business, but I assure you, I am doing everything in my power to get them to you on time."
renau1gThanks for judging!

Azryah nods to the man in thanks and moves over to one of the chairs. She does not remove her cloak before sitting. Rather, she swings it over the chair back before seating herself. She positions herself so that she is pointedly looking away from the door, although she does make note of anything she might hear coming from it.
"So, my friends," she says quietly to the others, "Have you ever been to the Isle of Opposition?"

As the tiny kobold erupts in laughter over his previous comment, a wide smile slowly grows across the goliaths face. Where I come from, we revere our ancestors, and the spirits of the world around us. I am kind of familiar with the Gods, but not so much that I dont occasionally miss-say their names.
After letting the young warden (and presumably the shifter?) into the office, and hearing the tattooed mans comments, Chaku positions himself near a window, squatting down, resting on the balls of his feet. I do hope the boss is a bit more polite than that high priest was. Grandmother told me when I was younger, you catch more wolves with meat than fire. Looking to Azryah, I have not, though I must admit, the name is interesting, sounds like a fun place.

"I admit I have never ventured there either." Jynxx cocks his head to the side, "Ah, it would appear that we are about to meet our employer. I would take a guess that there is a ceremony of some sort, and that they are lacking a particularly important item."

2.5-2 False Testimony
Revised to January 1, 2008
If you believe that a witness
testified falsely as to a part of (his/her) testimony, you may choose to
disbelieve other parts of (his/her) testimony, or the whole of it, but you are
not required to do so. You should bear in mind that inconsistencies and
contradictions within a witness's testimony or between that testimony and other
evidence do not necessarily mean that the witness is lying. Failures of memory
may be the reason for some inconsistencies and contradictions; also, it is not
uncommon for two honest people to witness the same event, yet perceive or recall
things differently. Yet, if you find that a witness has testified falsely as to
an issue, you should of course take that into account in assessing the
credibility of the remainder of (his/her) testimony.
This additional instruction is
within the discretion of the trial court judge as the circumstances may warrant
in any given case.
Instruction 2.5-1 is sufficient.

PromoFectin - Highly efficient transfection of primary cells and cell lines
PromoFectin facilitates the highly efficient and reproducible delivery of nucleic acids into a variety of cell types, including many hard-to-transfect cell lines and primary cells.
It is a stable non-liposomal polymer, that is water-soluble and free of any components of animal origin. PromoFectin shows very low toxicity and is therefore ideally suited for the transfection of sensitive cells, yielding optimal transfection efficiencies and gene expression. Transfection with PromoFectin requires no medium change and it can be used for adherent and non-adherent cells. It compacts and protects the nucleic acid of interest, enables efficient transport into cells via endocytosis and allows for a rapid and almost complete release of the intact nucleic acid into the cytosol – all of which favor delivery to the nucleus.
Special cell type specific PromoFectin variants are also available, which were developed for the efficient but gentle transfection of cells such as endothelial cells (e.g. primary HUVECs), hepatocytes, macrophages, or neuronal cells.
PromoKine also offers ready-to-use kits for fast and convenient detection and quantification of reporter gene expression including the commonly used reporter proteins luciferase (Firefly & Renilla), beta-galactosidase (reporter assay & staining kits) and GFP. The kits are highly sensitive, easy to handle and yield reproducible results. Substrates for the luciferase and beta-galactosidase assays are also available separately.
In addition, PromoKine provides a range of small-sized reporter plasmids (beta-galactosidase, luciferase, GFP, CAT, SEAP) as well as fusion plasmids, which allow high-level expression of a target gene of interest with a GFP or luciferase fusion tag at its C- or N-terminus.

New in MySQL Enterprise Edition: Policy-based Auditing!
By Rob Young on Sep 29, 2012
For those with an interest in MySQL, this weekend's MySQL Connect conference in San Francisco has gotten off to a great start. On Saturday Tomas announced the feature complete MySQL 5.6 Release Candidate that is now available for Community adoption and testing. This announcement marks the sprint to GA that should be ready for release within the next 90 days. You can get a quick summary of the key 5.6 features here or better yet download the 5.6 RC (under "Development Releases"), review what's new and try it out for yourself! There were also product related announcements around MySQL Cluster 7.3 and MySQL Enterprise Edition . This latter announcement is of particular interest if you are faced with internal and regulatory compliance requirements as it addresses and solves a pain point that is shared by most developers and DBAs; new, out of the box compliance for MySQL applications via policy-based audit logging of user and query level activity.
One of the most common requests we get for the MySQL roadmap is for quick and easy logging of audit events. This is mainly due to how web-based applications have evolved from nice-to-have enablers to mission-critical revenue generation and the important role MySQL plays in the new dynamic. In today's virtual marketplace, PCI compliance guidelines ensure credit card data is secure within e-commerce apps; from a corporate standpoint, Sarbanes-Oxely, HIPAA and other regulations guard the medical, financial, public sector and other personal data centric industries. For supporting applications audit policies and controls that monitor the eyes and hands that have viewed and acted upon the most sensitive of data is most commonly implemented on the back-end database.
With this in mind, MySQL 5.5 introduced an open audit plugin API that enables all MySQL users to write their own auditing plugins based on application specific requirements. While the supporting docs are very complete and provide working code samples, writing an audit plugin requires time and low-level expertise to develop, test, implement and maintain. To help those who don't have the time and/or expertise to develop such a plugin, Oracle now ships MySQL 5.5.28 and higher with an easy to use, out-of-the-box auditing solution; MySQL Enterprise Audit.
MySQL Enterprise Audit
The premise behind MySQL Enterprise Audit is simple; we wanted to provide an easy to use, policy-based auditing solution that enables you to quickly and seamlessly add compliance to your MySQL applications. MySQL Enterprise Audit meets this requirement by enabling you to:
1. Easily install the needed components.
Installation requires an upgrade to MySQL 5.5.28 (Enterprise edition), which can be downloaded from the My Oracle Support portal or the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud. After installation, you simply add the following to your my.cnf file to register and enable the audit plugin:
plugin-load=audit_log.so (keep in mind the audit_log suffix is platform dependent, so .dll on Windows, etc.)
or alternatively you can load the plugin at runtime:
mysql> INSTALL PLUGIN audit_log SONAME 'audit_log.so';
2. Dynamically enable and disable the audit stream for a specific MySQL server.
A new global variable called audit_log_policy allows you to dynamically enable and disable audit stream logging for a specific MySQL server. The variable parameters are described below.
3. Define audit policy based on what needs to be logged (everything, logins, queries, or nothing), by server.
The new audit_log_policy variable uses the following valid, descriptively named values to enable, disable audit stream logging and to filter the audit events that are logged to the audit stream:
"ALL" - enable audit stream and log all events
"LOGINS" - enable audit stream and log only login events
"QUERIES" - enable audit stream and log only querie events
"NONE" - disable audit stream
4. Manage audit log files using basic MySQL log rotation features.
A new global variable, audit_log_rotate_on_size, allows you to automate the rotation and archival of audit stream log files based on size with archived log files renamed and appended with datetime stamp when a new file is opened for logging.
5. Integrate the MySQL audit stream with MySQL, Oracle tools and other third-party solutions.
The MySQL audit stream is written as XML, using UFT-8 and can be easily formatted for viewing using a standard XML parser. This enables you to leverage tools from MySQL and others to view the contents. The audit stream was also developed to meet the Oracle database audit stream specification so combined Oracle/MySQL shops can import and manage MySQL audit images using the same Oracle tools they use for their Oracle databases.
So assuming a successful MySQL 5.5.28 upgrade or installation, a common set up and use case scenario might look something like this:
It should be noted that MySQL Enterprise Audit was designed to be transparent at the application layer by allowing you to control the mix of log output buffering and asynchronous or synchronous disk writes to minimize the associated overhead that comes when the audit stream is enabled. The net result is that, depending on the chosen audit stream log stream options, most application users will see little to no difference in response times when the audit stream is enabled.
So what are your next steps?
Get all of the grainy details on MySQL Enterprise Audit, including all of the additional configuration options from the MySQL documentation.
MySQL Enterprise Edition customers can download MySQL 5.5.28 with the Audit extension for production use from the My Oracle Support portal.
Everyone can download MySQL 5.5.28 with the Audit extension for evaluation from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.
Learn more about MySQL Enterprise Edition.
As always, thanks for your continued support of MySQL!

Company Tax Benefits Work
Published: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 12:02 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 12:02 a.m.
In The Ledger's recent article "Tax Benefits Approved to Help Lure Business," John Chambliss pointed out that the city of Lakeland voted 6-0 to provide $24,000 in tax benefits over four years to attract a company to the area.
Does this really work? Of course it does.
My question is, why don't we do this nationally to bring companies back to the United States?
Here in Lakeland our city commissioners have the answer, so why can't Congress and President Barack Obama figure it out? Seems like a no-brainer to me.
