This recipe looks delicious and doesn't sound too difficult to make. It is not the exact recipe in the April 98 issue on page 152.
P.S. Enjoy blueberry picking.
Thanks, Karen
I've made the Blueberry Pound Cake several times and it's great but saw the Lemon Blueberry Poundcake and was tempted to try something new. Has anyone made both that would like to offer a comparision? I loved the first one so much and I kind of figured, if it ain't broke why fix it but I'd hate to miss out on something even better!
Karen, Oops. You're right. I saw it was a 98 mag and didn't look closer. Suprised they had 2 that close together, but they both sound good. I couldn't type it all, so I pulled this out of MasterCook and don't remember seeing the other. Oh well, now we all have two to try. Enjoy.
BTW, it rained, but we got some blueberries. The place was crowded!
I have not tried the April 1998 recipe, but the pound cake one from later that year is fabulous. I bring it to brunch parties and it always disappears--and frozen blueberries work pretty well if fresh are not available.

My 3-year-old son and I made the Blueberry Poundcake from Jul/Aug '98, and it was delicious.
The only problem was when I went to get it out of the pan. I'd never used a tube pan, before, and my cake fell to pieces trying to remove it. http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/redface.gif
Any directions (or tips) on how to use a tube pan properly would help!
[This message has been edited by Shirley Panek (edited 06-21-2000).]
tip: Check recipe to see if pans need to be greasedd or lined with paper. Grease pan generously with unsalted shortening and flour generously. Shake excess flour from pan. Pan may be lined with baking paper or waxed paper. Grease side of pan when only bottom of pan is lined. Removed lining as soon as cake is turned onto rack to cool. Pans for sponde cakes should not be greased or floured.
If the cake is left in the pan too long, it will stick. Let pans sit 5 to 10 minutes before turning cake out on wire rack to cool. It may be necessary to slip a knife or spatula in at sideto loosen if cake does not slip out of pan easily.
I hope this helps with future baking. I lived in Maryland 5 years ago and had the best ORANGE CHICKEN ever.

Talk is Cheap. College Isn't.
New Policy to Eliminate Pell Grants, Federal Loans, Tuition Tax Credits
Feb 23, 2016
by Susan Dutca
Talk is cheap when it comes to politicians' promises, but one thing that remains expensive is a college education. From vetoing a scholarships bill that would free up $721 million for community colleges and scholarships for low-income students, to killing the Senate Bill 180 which would require the New Mexico Lottery to provide $41 million to a college scholarships fund there has been no resolution to the budget stalemate since July 1, 2015. New America Higher Education has one resolution: out with the old, in with the new. That means removing federal loans, federal tuition vouchers, Pell grants, and tuition tax credits.
In their policy paper, "Starting from Scratch: A New Federal and State Partnership in Higher Education," New America Higher Education expressed their vision to reconstruct and repair the "broken system of financing higher education." The team plans to scrap the archaic system and replace it with a "federal-state financial partnership" where the government would dole money to states, which would go to colleges and universities - taking into account important factors such as enrolled low-income students. Students would only have to pay their Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and the state would be held accountable for student outcomes such graduation rates and securing employment. In addition to lowering tuition, the cost of living expenses such as room and board, transportation, and childcare costs would be lowered./HTMLCHUNK_29/
States would have to maintain their current funding as provided in their individual budgets, match federal funding by 25 percent, and be responsible for performance and costs. There would be a bonus to states that contribute more than expected and also, a bonus for colleges who enroll more than 25 percent of low-income students. What's the catch? The plan would cost roughly $38 billion annually, and states would have to contribute an additional $17.9 billion. The existing system has left about 7 million borrowers in default with their student loans and the report claims that "going to college has left them in a much worse position than if they had never enrolled."
The partisanship disaster continues as colleges and universities haven't received "operating money from the state since July 1," according to Celeste Bott of the Chicago Tribune. The MAP grant provides up to $5,000 in financial aid to students who demonstrate need, according to the Illinois Student Assistance Commission. Some claim the scholarships bill would snag money from social service providers who provide care for the state's "most vulnerable residents," or that states simply do not have the money to spend. Governor Rauner agrees that the school funding formula needs to be changed./HTMLCHUNK_30/

Two for-profit trade schools are being accused of lying to students in order to secure millions in federal funding. After receiving a combined $107 million in federal funding in the 2014-2015 academic year, two for-profit trade schools are temporarily banned from receiving any more funding from the Department of Education after reportedly falsifying documents and student statistics in what is being called an "outright lie to both students and the federal government."
Marinello Schools of Beauty has 56 campuses in California and Nevada, 23 of which will no longer receive federal aid after reportedly requesting aid for students who had "invalid high school diplomas" and making students pay higher monthly out-of-pocket costs to cover tuition - such as $2,500 to $2,750 for books and supplies- even when they qualified for more aid, according to Jillian Berman. Marinello is a for-profit institution that received more than $87 million in Pell grants and federal loans in the 2014-2015 academic year. The chain was already on a "heightened cash monitoring" list, which is usually due to issues involving debt, accreditation or turning in financial information late. Marinello spokesman Joe Hixson plans to appeal the decision since the Department only now "disclosed to us its unfounded allegations." He maintains the intuition's innocence and warns that "[Marinello] will defend itself vigorously, without the federal funds our students deserve, our operations are at risk." This cut would affect 4,3000 students and potentially remove 800 employees from their jobs, according to Hixson.
On the other hand, Under Secretary Ted Mitchell claims that such "questionable business practices" simply "violate [the school's] trust through deceptive marketing practices and defraud taxpayers by giving out student aid inappropriately." Similarly, Computer Systems Institute (CSI) has been accused of "submitting false job placement rates" to students by the Department of Education and the Accrediting Council for Independent College and Schools. CSI had stated 42 of its students who graduated were working for a company called Home Health Consultants - the Department's investigative follow-up found no students worked for HHC or in a related healthcare field. CSI received roughly $20 million in federal funding in the 2014-2015 academic year. For-profit schools have been criticized for enrolling students through "troubling tactics" in order to profit from federal funds, leaving students ill-prepared for the jobs they were promised. While for-profit schools are known for admitting nontraditional students, many students end up borrowing large sums of money that cannot be repaid - but the school gets paid regardless.
Corinthian Colleges, known to be one of the largest for-profit schools in the US, went bankrupt after allegations of falsifying "job placement and graduation rates to lure students," according to Berman. Although the schools have two weeks to dispute the claims, Berman notes the Department of Education must "determine what qualifies as a successful borrower defense claim."
Credit attributed to Jillian Berman who covers student debt and financial issues faced by today's youth, with pieces featured in MarketWatch, The Huffington Post, Bloomberg, and Xconomy.

The Illinois State Board is tackling the issue of special education funding imbalances with a proposed move of $217,000 from a wealthy suburban school district to schools in need for the 2016-2017 school year. However, Illinois isn't the only state struggling. The US as a whole has highly under-resourced special education programs and schools. Quality is being sacrificed for quantity as well-qualified teachers are being replaced by underqualified teachers for the sake of filling a position.
According to District 35's President, Gary Ruben, though "it is not a good thing for the district," they are financially prepared to have it "built into the budget" and will "continue to provide all the services that [we] need to provide." On average, District 35 spends about $3.7 million a year, with an average budget of $25 million, as reported by Director of Finance Jason Edelheit. If the proposed redistribution takes place, District 35 will lose $126,840. Nonetheless, the ISBE claims it is the "most equitable mechanism in current statute," as it will benefit 77% of students with "the least amount of local wealth and highest concentration of low-income students." According to Daniel Dorfman, the North Shore is anticipated to feel this change, especially elementary school districts and New Trier high school.
Many of the layoffs in CPS negatively affects children who require special services. According to the Lauren Fitzgerald of the Chicago Sun-Times, 80 of the 227 layoffs were in the special education department with 29 of the 180 "district-wide vacancies eliminated." Although 19 special education managers were hired to replace the 32 that were cut, District spokeswoman Emily Bittner claims that the layoffs do not include "classroom positions," and that the needs of every child's "individualized education plan would still be met." According to Chief Forrest Claypool, the cuts are necessary due to the $480 million budget gap.
A North Side CPS principal claims that without special education managers, the support just isn't the same. Managers are responsible for observing kids and providing "human interface" when it comes to making important decisions such as child relocation to another program due to behavioral issues. The ever-changing and "evolving" needs are best handled and met by managers who know if a student needs more assistance, such as a personal aid or more technology.
Specialty schools are under-resourced enough, with a severe shortage of teachers whom districts can barely keep past two years. Due to the shortage, a large number of general education teachers will venture into special education to fill positions. But quantity is not quality. Special needs children are already dismissed by being thrown into general classrooms where their Individual Education Programs (IEPs) are not met, they are improperly dealt with, and lack proper resources. By replacing special-education teachers with those who lack experience in the field and a lack of financial resources, this problem will continue to grow.
If you have the desire to help those with special needs, check out our many scholarships - from education to psychology and social work, there are many organizations dedicated to funding students' higher education goals in special education. If you yourself have a specific disability or impairment, see how you can qualify for scholarships based on that criteria.

$7.5M Lawsuit Over Fabricated UVA Rape Story
Rolling Stone Magazine and Sabrina Erdely Sued by Defamed UVA Administrator
Jan 12, 2016
by Susan Dutca
Rolling Stone author Sabrina Rubin Erdely did not sufficiently research and verify a student's account of gang rape and neither did anybody else at the nationwide publication with a readership of nearly 1.5 million. It has since been discovered that the young women's story was entirely fabricated and that she has a reputation as a "serial liar."
After clicking early on in college and sharing a passion for the same rock bands, two UVA students began a friendship that would soon turn rotten. Little did Ryan Duffin know, "Jackie" would soon entangle him, several of his Phi Kappa Psi fraternity brothers, and UVA administrators in a gang rape allegation that would be reported by Rolling Stone Magazine, becoming the center of national controversy.
From the beginning, Duffin did not want to pursue anything beyond friendship with "Jackie." However, the woman who was identified only as "Jackie" in the magazine article wanted more. It was then that Jackie created a fictitious character, "Haven Monahan," whom she alleged she knew from chemistry class. New court documents report that Monahan was created by Jackie to "catfish" Duffin into her desired romantic relationship. Through texts, Jackie, posing as Monahan told Duffin how she felt about him.
In late September of 2012, Jackie told Duffin that her date with Monahan took a turn for the worse after he and several other rushing fraternity brothers had gang raped her. Duffin and a group of friends rushed to a hysterical and traumatized Jackie to comfort her. Jackie did not appear to be injured at all and her dress was not mangled or torn. She also refused to report the alleged incident to the police or even go to the hospital for medical attention. Two days after the incident, Jackie told Duffin she forgave Monahan, which left Duffin to seriously doubt Monahan's existence, as he claimed in an interview with The Washington Post: "I was wondering how I didn't see through it way earlier."
The story did not appear until two years later, in July of 2015, when Erdely contacted Emily Renda, a rape survivor and U-VA staff member working with sexual assault victims. Erdely, who was searching for a singular college rape case to report on the "pervasive culture of sexual harassment/rape culture" on college campuses was directed to what Renda called the "darker side" of the issue in fraternities. Erdely contacted "Jackie," who then recounted her gang rape experience. While at a fraternity campus party, "Jackie" claimed, she was lured to an upstairs bedroom around 12:52 am, where she was ambushed and gang raped. Ederly's 9,000-word story was published in Rolling Stone in November 2014. It was titled "A Rape on Campus."
Significant scrutiny and reports of multiple discrepancies resulted in an audit of the editorial processes leading up to the story's publication. The Columbia Graduate School of Journalism discredited the Rolling Stone article for a variety of reasons stating that the "assault could not have taken place the way it was described." For instance, the fraternity issued a statement that it did not host "a function or social event" that weekend, as was claimed by the alleged victim. The Washington Post also uncovered information in December 2014; reports that Jackie's friends claimed the "details of the attack have changed over time and that they have not been able to verify key points." The New York Times reported that police had "exhausted all investigative leads" to find "no substantive basis" for the Rolling Stone's article. The article was retracted and the magazine's managing editor and article's author both apologized. Ederly later acknowledged that she "did not go far enough to verify her story."
As a result of the fabricated story and the damage done to UVA Associate Dean, Nicole Eramo's reputation and filed a $7.5 million defamation lawsuit against Rolling Stone and Erdely for failing to perform the basic tenants of journalism. As a top administrator, Eramo stated she was cast a "chief villain" in the discredited piece. Lawyers are now asking for the alleged victim to produce text message and "other communications in the case" since it would expose her to be a "serial liar." Duffin stated that, "had any of us been contacted it never would have blown up like this," referring to the Rolling Stone magazine.

Missouri Chancellor's Ouster Plotted by Deans?
Student Protests May Not Have Caused Mizzou Resignation After All
Dec 29, 2015
by Kevin Ladd
Were student protests really even behind the ouster or was Mr Loftin's resignation a product of a coup orchestrated by nine deans who wanted him gone? According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, the deans involved had been having second thoughts about the appointment since Mr. Loftin arrived and his ouster was due to myriad occasions wherein he would refer to them as "essential middle management" and allude to his power to "fire" them.
Thomas L. Payne, who is vice chancellor and dean of the College of Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources, expressed feelings that Mr. Loftin often used inappropriate methods and measures. Mr Payne reportedly recalled saying to Loftin, "I feel I must tell you that I don't think your leadership of this university is appropriate. I don't think your approach, in many cases of fear and intimidation, is the way we operate in the Midwest or anywhere. I think you should resign."
Mr. Loftin was deemed "irrevocably broken" after a dean had been forced out in December. Dean Patrick Delafontaine had served at the School of Medicine for less than a year and though the chancellor claimed Delafontaine left at his own will, the dean's colleagues didn't quite buy that. Delafontaine was known for doing a "good job" at the school and "to see his efforts dismissed and undermined...let [the deans] to conclude that [their] relationship with the chancellor was irrevocable broken."
Meanwhile, as all of this was brewing and perhaps even conveniently for the deans, student relations began to be a major issue at the school, coming to a boiling point in October and continuing to escalate, culminating in a hunger strike and members of the football team threatening to boycott all athletics unless the president stepped down. Though Loftin had befriended the student protestors by bringing them food to their demonstrations and "holding court" on the quad, his resignation had already been underway at that point.
While certainly the school must have been concerned about all of the issues students raised, it certainly does appear there was much more happening below the surface of the widely reported scandal. Do you think Mr. Loftin would have been forced out had the students not spoken up and demanded action? Leave us your insightful comments in the box below.

The War on (Study) Drugs
Misuse of Prescription Drugs a Very Real Concern in Higher Ed
Nov 10, 2015
by Susan Dutca
Every student has their own way of dealing with the stresses of college life and academics, even if it may require popping a small blue pill before a final exam. What does it take nowadays to crack down on the books and get As? Studies reveal that many college and high school students have turned to recreational drug use such as abusing ADHD medication to help land good grades.
Considered to be one of the most dangerous legal drugs, Adderall is now causing twice as many deaths as street drugs. According to the Huffington Post, prescription drugs such as Adderall and other ADHD meds are "the most dangerous legal drugs among young people in college and high school." On college campuses, students perceive ADHD medications as "relatively benign substances". These meds are being stolen, swapped and sold regularly on campuses nationwide, doubling the amount of student ER visits and deaths.
How exactly are students getting their hands on Adderall and similar stimulants? Experts claim students know exactly what to say to receive a legal, insurance-subsidized prescription. However, not every student with access to the drug actually uses it. Many students simply sell it for profit - as much as $300 a bottle.
While there is certainly an ongoing issue with illegal drugs, there is also an issue with dangerous prescription abuse in the classroom. Some point to the mislabeling of normal child immaturity as the culprit for excessive use of ADHD medication. Who is most responsible for the easy access of these drugs? Should drug companies be just as responsible for distribution and marketing as the physicians for misdiagnoses? Do we blame parents and teachers who cannot adequately control hyperactive children? Or do we simply hold students responsible for their actions? Would informing kids of the dangers of recreational drug use have any positive effect on the situation? In your opinion, how can the issue of misdiagnoses and distribution be resolved to lessen students' ability to gain access to these drugs? Also, if you are passionate about public policy, public health or medicine, check out some of our medical scholarships to help fund your college education.

Harvard Transgender Swimmer Dives Into New Waters
Oct 20, 2015
by Susan Dutca
What happens when your high school 100-meter breast stroke time is almost as fast as the women's all-time best at Harvard, the school you've been eying for as long as you could remember - but you determine you can no longer repress the feeling that you are a man trapped inside a woman's body? Such was the case for swimmer Schuyler Bailer, who underwent partial surgery, now identifies as a man and will compete on the Harvard men's swim team. The NCAA allowed Bailer to choose what team to swim for and Harvard's women's swim coach supports Bailer's decision even if it means losing a top recruit.
Bailer took a year off following high school graduation and made the decision to identify as a man after having repressed these feelings from a very young age. Bailer claimed, "I had worked my whole life to be on that team," and that the coming-out-of-the-closet experience was stressful enough. Bailer is realistic about future stresses, such as competing with a new gender, locker room etiquette and media scrutiny. However, transgender athletes have been around since 1977, when Renée Richard joined the women's tennis professional tour after the New York Supreme Court had intervened. Another recent, well-known case is that of Olympic decathlete Bruce Jenner, who transitioned to Caitlyn Jenner. Is the male to female transition the same as female to male transition, when it comes to athletics?
Various organizations at the junior, high school and collegiate level have begun implementing rules that allow transgender students to participate on the basis of their expressed gender identities. Even at the highest level of sport competition, the Olympics, athletes are able to participate only if they have had their gender-reassignment surgery and at least two years of hormone therapy. In the NCAA, men transitioning to women who have not undergone sex-reassignment surgery must take testosterone suppressants for one year before they can compete on the women's team. (This means Bailer would be allowed to continue on the women's team if he has not yet starting taking testosterone). Though Bailer's transition has been welcomed and supported by the NCAA and his team, he may still face discrimination and scrutiny.
In your opinion, should transgender individuals be allowed to compete with and against their biological gender group? Leave us your thoughts below in the comment box and be sure to check out our large list of sports scholarships.

While many people can recall their college days as being "the best days" of their lives, college is never stress-free. From completing last-minute papers, to studying for midterms and finals or dealing with a stressful breakup, students are expected to balance many social, academic and extracurricular responsibilities. For some, there are many positive lessons to be learned from the college experience, but the 2014 National Survey of College Counseling Centers reports a drastic increase in college students with severe psychological problems. Colleges now have trouble keeping up with the demand for mental health services. Up to 83 percent of colleges may deny treatment for students who possess problems beyond the capabilities of the staff. To tackle the issue, Drexel University has taken initiative in reaching out to struggling students by installing mental-health kiosks on campus.
Drexel University, the first U.S. college to install a "mental health kiosk," uses a high-tech, polarized device similar to a tablet computer and is stationed in the highly-populated Student Recreation Center. Using touch-screen technology, students, faculty/professional staff and even members of the general public are able to stop and "Get a Check-up from the Neck-up." The program goes through a series of questions that assesses individuals' state of mind and feelings, generates a "suggested result" and provides referral information based on the respondent's answers. It screens for six potential issues: depression, post-traumatic stress, bipolar disorder, alcohol use, eating disorder, and anxiety. When it comes professional training, The Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors reports that 58.5 percent of colleges offer insufficient formal or informal training. With this new technology, Drexel's Associate Dean in the Office of Counseling and Health hopes that high-risk students will be better assisted.
Funded by a $5,000 grant through the Thomas Scattergood Behavior Health Foundation in Philadelphia, the mental health kiosk is the second debuted in Philadelphia. Do you think this would be effective in tackling issues of increased mental health issues amongst college students? Also, do you have the requisite patience and empathy to help those suffering from mental or other disorders? If you have a passion for helping people, check out scholarships for Psychology or Social Work such as the Health Careers Scholarship and find free money to fund your college dreams.
Going to college doesn't have to break the bank or saddle you with tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt. Check out the Scholarships.com free college scholarship search where you'll discover you qualify for hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships in just a few minutes, then apply and win! It's that easy!

Redefining Mental Illness
Aug 30, 2015
College can be a stressful time, suddenly full of both student and adult responsibilities. However, for some students, it can become more than just stress - potentially a larger issue like depression. If students cannot or will not seek help, the consequences can be severe. Therefore, students need to prioritize their happiness in college, since mental health is just as important as physical health.
The following tips are some ways to keep you from going down that dangerous road:
And don't forget, you should pay for your college education with as much free money as possible! Find as many scholarships and grants as you can before turning to student loans.

I listened with great interest this week as minority community activists from New Orleans spent a full day insulting Congress, the Bush administration and FEMA over the slow response in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The activists wanted to tell Congress firsthand that they blamed race and poverty on the slow response. And when handed ample evidence to the contrary, they ignored it. After all, truth wasn't their intent.
It was clearly the failure of the New Orleans city officials to organize the bus transportation to remove those without means to flee. That city administration is headed by a minority. But at the heart of the problem was the overwhelming fact that many New Orleans residents ignored the calls to evacuate because they felt - as did many of us - that the Hurricane Katrina would strike only a glancing blow on the city. But it's far easier to play the race card than to look in the mirror.
As a follow-up to their tirade, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour said the federal government has failed to fulfill rebuilding promises since the hurricane and on that point, he's right. But as it pertains to some parts of that region, there remains disagreement on what should be rebuilt and what should be converted to some other use than residential property.
I could well be wrong, but the public and private support to help Katrina victims - from churches and organizations - has been tremendous. At some point, as time goes by, people begin to forget that the region remains a disaster. So those residents turn to the federal government for the money and resources to rebuild. It's a regional problem in search of a national answer.
As part of these Katrina hearings, Congress now wants to go back a few months and research documents on what was requested, when it was requested and what happened with that request. In other words, they seem more interested in dissecting the patient than finding a cure for the ailment. Just to give you a sense of the scope of the issue, a White House spokesman said they are currently sifting through 71 million e-mails and documents that the committee wants. Put that into your mind. 71 million e-mails!
Bureaucracy moves slowly and now you know why.

RECORDS: Notre Dame 8-3; Stanford 9-2
KICKOFF: 4 p.m. at Stanford Stadium
SERIES HISTORY: Notre Dame leads 18-9, but Stanford has won three of the past four.
STORYLINES: Stanford must win to bolster its postseason resume in the event it loses the Pac-12 title game and does not earn an automatic berth in the Rose Bowl ... The Cardinal has won 15 consecutive home games, the second-longest streak in the nation (South Carolina: 16 in a row) ... The No. 8 Cardinal and No. 25 Irish have two common opponents: Notre Dame beat USC and Arizona State, while Stanford lost to USC and beat the Sun Devils ... Stanford is 4-0 against ranked teams at home this season ... Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees came off the bench last year to lead the Irish to a 20-13 win over the Cardinal. Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan, who played sparingly in the game in South Bend, comes from a family full of Notre Dame graduates.
INJURY UPDATE: Stanford -- Stanford — DE Ben Gardner (pectoral) is out. K Jordan Williamson (leg) is probable. Notre Dame — NT Louis Nix (knee) and C Nick Martin (knee) are out. NG Kona Schwenke (ankle) is questionable.
MATCHUP TO WATCH: Stanford's offensive line vs. Notre Dame's front seven ... Even without injured nose tackle Louis Nix, the Irish have the size and talent to combat Stanford's power running game ... Watch Notre Dame's safeties: If they're lined up 15-20 yards deep, Stanford won't have much success with big plays. If the Irish need their safeties to provide support at the line of scrimmage, Stanford will have downfield passing lanes for receivers Ty Montgomery and Michael Rector, just as it did against Washington State and Cal.
STATS THAT MATTER: Stanford is third in the nation in run defense (89.5 yards per game) ... The Cardinal has caused a turnover in 35 consecutive games. Notre Dame is 13-0 under coach Brian Kelly when it doesn't commit a turnover ... The Irish are second in the country in fewest sacks allowed (seven). Stanford is eighth in the nation in sacks (3.09 per game) ... Stanford has a 52 percent conversion rate on third down. Notre Dame's defense allows opponents to convert just 41 percent of their third-down opportunities.

Rockets guard Jeremy Lin went through Tuesday's shootaround a day after leaving practice with a sprained left ankle and reported that he is "good to go" against the Clippers tonight.
"I feel good," Lin said. "I can tell. We did some stuff in there (in the training room). I'll be good to go."
Lin stepped on Toney Douglas' foot during practice on Monday and left the court. He watched the rest of practice while icing the ankle.
"I thought there was a high probability I'd be fine for today," Lin said. "When it first happened, I had no idea. But after 30 minutes, I was like, "I should be OK.
"I'm fine. I think everybody is playing through something at some point in the season. You have to be able to just play. And we're all used to it. Everybody is banged up."
That would include Clippers point guard Chris Paul, who missed Monday's game with a bruised right knee. The Clippers, however, have been the league's deepest team, with Eric Bledsoe stepping in as the starting point in a rout of the Grizzlies.
Whether Paul, an MVP candidate, plays or not the Rockets needed the workout on Monday. The practice was the second Lin has left this season after turning his left ankle. He also played the next day after spraining his ankle last month. Lin, however, did not come out in favor of abolishing practices, though the Rockets schedule has come close to that, anyway. Monday's workout was the Rockets' first since Jan. 7 and will likely be the only practice until Jan. 22.
"We needed yesterday," Lin said. "We've had slippage on the road, not being able to practice. Yesterday was good."
When asked what the Rockets most need to take from the practice to the game, Lin cited the Rockets' team defense.
"I'd say getting back to our shell defense, basically making sure the weakside is there," he said. "We gave up a lot of layups and easy things like that. We'd rather have teams forced to kick it out or shoot a 3 or a contested 2, but not a layup. (The Clippers) love finishing at the rim. That's why today is going to be a huge weakside defense game.
"Being able to neutralize their athleticism by being in the right place at the right time and being really team-oriented on defense in terms of having all five guys move weakside and strong side. And being high energy, just getting back to the way we played before we went on the road."
The Rockets brought a five-game winning streak at home before losing all three games of the road trip, with the defense particularly coming apart in Philadelphia.
"We haven't had many practices lately," Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. "With a young team, that affects you more than with a veteran team. We had some slippage in some areas.
"We better play packed in the paint and make them take jump shots. They can make jump shots. If they beat you making jump shots, you can live with that. You can't live with them having highlight film dunks and layups."
He will not, however, have make those improvements while replacing his starting point guard.
"He looked like he was moving OK," McHale said. "I was concerned today he would be really limping and hobbling around. He wasn't 100 percent. He went through shootaround, but shootaround and playing are different things. We'll find out more tonight."
That can be said about more than Lin's ankle.

A trio of Texans, a preponderance of Coloradans -- and just one representative from the Bay Area?
The 10th season of Bravo's "Top Chef" is about to kick off and we have but one chef to cheer for. Good thing it's Lizzie Binder, the South African chef behind San Francisco's Bar Bambino, whose impressive résumé includes stints at the French Laundry, Chez Panisse and Jardiniere.
The 37-year-old chef boasts not only mad culinary skills, she exudes charm on the small screen -- at least in the first episode, which airs Nov. 7 -- and comes off even sunnier by phone. Last week, she called in from Napa, where she lives with her husband and their two young children, Ben and Zaidie, to dish on fish, South African foodies, globe-trotting travels and her love affair with California. And a certain reality TV show, too.
Q We hear you grew up in a family of foodies.
A I grew up in South Africa, and my father was hugely influential with regards to food. He loved food, taught me to fish when I was a little girl -- I can cast a rod like nobody's business. We used to practice in our garden and then help him get all the reels ready for deep sea fishing. We spent all our summers on the beach in South Africa, with dad fishing. That was a huge part of it. My mum never really cooked a lot, but she bought all these cookbooks just to make him happy. They have lovely stories of crazy dinner parties they used to have. My English grandmother used to visit and bring him a savoy cabbage in her hand luggage and huge big pasties wrapped up in tin foil. She was an amazing cook.
Q Did you always know you'd be a chef?
A I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life. I loved cooking at home, loved poring over cookbooks. My mum knew about a great cooking school in Durban and said to me, "You will always use cooking in your life, even if you decide to do something else. Just go for it."
Q What was your first job?
A At a luxury hotel in South Africa. There were two of us, assistants to the chef. The first weekend, he had a nervous breakdown -- throwing lettuces in the walk-in -- and we had to just do it. At 19, I was running my first kitchen.
Q You worked for Sally Clark, the Alice Waters of England, and traveled the world. How on earth did you land in San Francisco?
A My last winter in London, I was working double shifts. It was freezing cold. I'd wake up and it would be dark, and I'd leave late at night and it would be dark again. I thought, I'm not doing this anymore; I'm going to New York -- I don't know what I was thinking because it would have been the same thing in New York. My English cousin said, "Check out San Francisco before you decide." I fell in love with San Francisco immediately, the first day here. Traci (Des Jardins) at Jardiniere took me in. The rest is history.
Q History with a detour to Asia and Australia?
A My visa was up in April of 2000, so I headed back to London and then spent six months traveling through Southeast Asia, Nepal, India, Australia. My now-husband followed me to Australia. His friends asked, "Who's this girl he ran off to Australia for?" Now we live in Napa and have two little kids.
Q I know you can't talk about what happened on this season of "Top Chef" -- yet. But what's next for you?
A I'd been at Bar Bambino as the executive chef since December 2006. It's been an amazing stint. Right now, I'm still figuring things out. This year in particular has been hard. My father died, and I'm feeling very far away from my South African family and not feeling like I've been spending enough time with the kids. It's so easy for the restaurant life to monopolize your life. You try to balance the two but sometime you feel like you're failing. So this was my year of change.
Q Including "Top Chef"?
A Bravo approached me because of Bar Bambino, and Tracy (who did "Top Chef Masters") tried to get me to do it last year. She said, "Just go meet them." You know what? Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Sometimes you need to leap out of your comfort zone. (Laughs.) Who knows how it's been edited -- hopefully I can hold my head high.
Q Aw, we watched the first episode. You got the "adorable" edit. But after watching your fellow competitors, we just have to ask, how many tattoos do you have?
A No tattoos. (Laughs.) I thought, I'm not sure if I'll be chosen, because I don't have any tattoos.

Tajik Prosecutor-General Bobojon Bobokhonov in 2005 (RFE/RL)
January 15, 2007 -- The Tajik Supreme Court last year added 10 organizations and political groups to the country's official terror list.
January 15, 2007
The announcement was made today by Prosecutor-General Bobojon Bobokhonov.
Bobokhonov told reporters that the newly banned groupings include the Islamic Party of Turkestan and Tochikistoni Ozod (Free Tajikistan), an Uzbekistan-based political party that authorities say represents a threat to Tajikistan's national security.
Meanwhile, Tajik President Imomali Rakhmonov has begun a six-day visit to neighboring China.
Rakhmonov is scheduled to meet today with his Chinese counterpart, Hu Jintao. Later this week, he is due to attend a Tajik-Chinese business forum in Beijing.
He will also visit China's giant Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River. Several bilateral economic documents are expected to be signed during Rakhmonov's visit.

Photoshop World Precon Napp Safari – Sold Out!
First, I want to thank all of those who signed up for the Safari, we're going to have a GREAT time! Second, if you want to come but were told it is sold out, put your name on the list and be active. Life gets in the way of life and there always seems to be a person or two who doesn't make it leaving an opening for someone on the wait list. Lastly, there are other Precons you might wanna check out and though we'd miss you, we want you to have fun and learn. And remember, I'll have classes throughout Photoshop World and would be happy to entertain and educate whenever I'm give the stage. Look forward to seeing you there!
You knew it had to happen, they've separated me & Joe at the Safari so we're both doing different events. Many have emailed and asked what I was going to do so thought I'd take a moment and tell ya (yeap, no surprise this time, first change). We'll start in the class room going over some basics like camera settings and handholding techniques. Then we'll look at some images and talk about how exposure, composition, lens selection and where you place yourself all effect YOUR photographic message. I'll provide you ideas for our afternoon shoot and unlike anyother Precon I've taught, I'll take you into the digital darkroom for finishing. At about that time, we'll get on the bus and head out to your shoot. We're returning to the over the top popular Precon to Fantasy of Flight. Ya, there will be planes, details, HDR and much more to photograph but to bring a special note to the event, I'm bringing along some special friends.
Skip and his reinactors will be our models for the WHOLE time! This troop of actors are great and will make the experience so much fun and photographically rewarding, it's hard to express until you participate. I've worked with these aviation reinactors many times and every time, they blow me out of the water and overshadow my presence with their antics. Working with the NAPP Staff, we have planned a great day for education and entertainment for you. We have a smaller group of photographer, bigger group of assistants and more models so we've stacked the deck in your favor. I look forward to shooting with you on the flight deck!

Rice, Lentils and Fresh Corn Recipe
Submitted By:from Decatur.
Rice, Lentils and Fresh Corn Notes
This is a typical summer treat I make, made better because I picked up some spices to experiment with.
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup brown Basmati rice
- 1/4 cup lentils
- pinch saffron
- to taste, freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
- 6 ears fresh, raw corn, kernels cut off and juice included
- 1 teaspoon Bridgeport Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
Serves / Yields
4 as an Entree
Preparation Instructions
Bring to a boil in a saucepan: water, rice, lentils, saffron, black pepper, salt, and hot pepper flakes.
Reduce heat to a simmer and cover, cooking until most of liquid is absorbed, around 25 minutes.
Add corn, Bridgeport Seasoning, parsley, chives, and simmer 10-15 minutes, until most of corn liquid is absorbed. Stir in butter.
Helpful Hints
Best if you let it cool a little and lightly sprinkle some more salt over the top after you've served it up.
If you adjust your cooking method a little, you could try this my other favorite way--with sliced boiled new potatoes instead of the rice and lentils.

Behind the Easton Industrial Park located on Route 123, you will find a good sized, unnamed pond that me and my friends have had great success in. The pond is well hidden between a couple of industrial parks and has limited shore fishing but if you get a boat out there, you can definitely find some great spots to fish.
The only way I know to access this pond is to enter the industrial park by going down Bristol Dr and then taking a left onto Norfolk Ave. This will bring you to a rotary at which you take your first right into a parking lot. Go all the way to the back, left side of the parking lot and you will find a couple of openings to the water. You can usually park right next to the water on the grass or in the parking lot to be safe.
There are a good amount of weeds in this pond, especially near the shore by the two openings but it drops off a little bit as you get out further. The space is limited on the shore, maybe room for 4 or 5 people to fish at once so don't expect a lot of different options while you're fishing from the shore. We've always caught a bass or two though working the the middle or even working the overhanging bushes to the left of the openings.
If you get a boat out there, which I always prefer, there are 3 spots where I have had the most success in here. The first one is on the eastern shore, directly across from where you put in the boat. It is a little corner where there are some submerged branches and a lot of fish. The next spot, located at the very northern point of the pond, is full of weeds and lilly pads, with a lot of brush overhanging the edges. This is a great spot to throw out a Texas rigged worm or rubber frog and pull in a few bass.
The last spot I always make sure to check out is in the southeast corner of the pond. There are several trees hanging very low above the water that give the fish good shade to hide in. Usually, the wind is blowing this direction as well, which push the bait fish that way and you know the bass will always follow them, so expect to catch a few here as well. If you want to explore some more, the southwestern shore always looks like a spot to catch some fish but it is really shallow so just keep that in mind if you have a boat out there.
Successful Bait: Worms- Watermelon, Pumpkin seed, Black. Frogs- Dark Green. Crank bait- 6 in diver, red/yellow.
Shore Fishing? Yes
Boat Access? Yes
Boat Ramp? No

We went here and caught no fish in a canoe. The weeds are scary and you don't want to fall in cuz prolly gators in there . Oh wait, we did catch a sunfish . ..ReplyDelete
Great little gem of a spot. The water takes on a very odd color at times, which tells me it's not the cleanest pond around, but it's got plenty of fish.ReplyDelete
I've caught bass off shore in the pond across the street that is part of the Stone Hill College campusReplyDelete

Newly-crowned IBF welterweight beltholder Randall Bailey has several options in the wake of his come-from-behind, 11th-round knockout of Philadelphia's previously unbeaten Mike Jones on June 9 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
On Monday, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, who promotes former IBF and WBC junior welterweight titleholder Devon Alexander (23-1, 13 knockouts), told RingTV.com that a bout between Bailey (43-7, 37 KOs) and Alexander is appealing to Showtime's President of Sports Programming, Stephen Espinoza, for Aug. 25.
"I talked to Stephen last week, and he said that he would be happy to do that fight. Nothing has happened, we're just working on it," said Schaefer. "But he has approved that fight, so as a result of that, I believe that Devon has made some comments that he would be happy to fight him."
Against Jones (26-1, 19 KOs), Bailey won his fourth straight bout, and his second by knockout during that time, having last suffered defeat by 11th-round stoppage against Juan Urango in a failed bid to earn the IBF's junior welterweight belt in August of 2009.
In his next fight in March of 2010, Urango was dethroned by eighth-round knockout against Alexander, whose trainer, Kevin Cunningham, said he hopes that Bailey "doesn't do the moonwalk like Michael Jackson and start backing up out of the fight" after having called out Alexander.
"If they really, really want the thing with Devon happen, then I have no problem fighting Devon, but I think that the fight would definitely have to be on a September date," said Bailey, 37, who fought Jones on the undercard of a split-decision victory by Tim Bradley which dethroned Manny Pacquiao as WBO welterweight beltholder.
"But like I said, fighting Devon is no problem. I just fought probably the biggest welterweight that we have in the division, so Devon is a little dude. No worries. I wasn't worried about going against a giant, so trust me, I'm not worried about going in there against a full-blown midget."
Of the fact that Alexander lost to Bradley in January of 2011 by decision, Bailey said, "Tim Bradley doesn't want a part of fighting me — not even in his wildest dreams."
IBF President Daryl Peoples informed RingTV.com on Tuesday that Bailey has six months to make a mandatory defense, but under the current scenario, that probably won't have to happen until much later.
Peoples said that England's Kell Brook (27-0, 18 KOs) and Oklahoma City's Carson Jones (34-8-2, 24 KOs) are preparing to face each other in an eliminator on July 7.
The winner between Brook and Jones will be in line to meet Argentina's Hector Saldivia (41-2, 32 KOs) for the No. 1 mandatory spot and the right to challenge Bailey.
"There are a few fights out there right now, and we're going to end up with the best that we can," said Bailey's manager, Si Stern. "It's very early in the game, so you never know. The IBF belt leaves it wide open for us. We'll see what happens."
Known for his powerful, lights-out right hand, Bailey landed two of those punches — dropping Jones once in the 10th and again in the 11th of a clash Jones had been dominating up to that point.
Jones led by 99-91, 98-92, and, 97-93 on the judges' cards prior to being dropped for good with 10 seconds left in the final round.
In victory, Bailey earned the IBF's vacant belt. He won his first title via a first-round knockout of Carlos Gonzalez to win the WBO's junior welterweight crown in May of 1999. His record at the time was 18-0, all by stoppage.
The win over Gonzalez marked Bailey's 13th first-round knockout, after which he defended twice to improve to 20-0, all by knockout, before losing the title to Ener Julio by split-decision in July of 2000.
Bailey went to 24-1 with 24 knockouts after earning the WBA's interim title with a third-round knockout of Demetrios Ceballos in February of 2002, but was stopped for the first time in his next bout by Diosbelys Hurtado..
"Anybody that Randall is going to fight, we don't have any fear of," said Stern. "We will play it very well so that we get the very best of the situation for Randall Bailey. Randall's waited a long time to be where he is at."
Former Cuban Olympian Luis Franco, of Miami, has been directed to face Argentina's Mauricio Javier Munoz in an IBF featherweight eliminator bout for the right to face organization titleholder Billy Dib of Australia, according to Peoples.
Franco's promoter, Gary Shaw, could not be immediately be reached.
Franco (11-0, 7 KOs) had been slated to face featherweight prospect Gary Russell Jr. (19-0, 11 KOs) of Capitol Heights, Md., before Russell opted for a clash with Chris Perez (23-2, 14 KOs) of Mexico on June 30.
Russell-Perez will take place on the undercard of a Showtime-televised, junior middleweight double-header featuring southpaw Erislandy Lara against Freddie Hernandez, and a main event rematch between IBF titleholder Cornelius Bundrage and ex-beltholder Cory Spinks.
The winner between Franco, 30, and Munoz, 26, gets Dib (34-1, 21 KOs).
In Munoz (25-3, 12 KOs), Franco meets a fighter who has won four consecutive bouts, including three straight by stoppage. Munoz last suffered defeat in April of last year when he was knocked out in the ninth round by Toshiaki Nishioka in a failed bid to earn the WBC's junior featherweight belt .
Munoz had been considered as a potential opponent to WBO beltholder Orlando Salido (38-11-2, 26 KOs), who will instead take a non-title bout against Oscar Bravo (20-3, 9 KOs) of Chile in a 10-round junior lightweight bout on July 28.
Salido (38-11-2, 26 knockouts) is rising in weight following the second of two stoppage wins over Juan Manuel Lopez (31-2, 28 KOs), the first of which earned him the belt.
Salido has his sights on fighters such as WBO junior lightweight titleholder Adrien Broner or the winner of a targeted clash between featherweight contender Miguel "Mikey" Garcia and WBA beltholder Celestino Caballero.

News :: Tragic, mysterious anniversary: Unsolved Blairstown murder happened 33 years ago
· 8:47am August 3rd, 2014
Thirty-three years ago today, the city of Blairstown awoke to learn one of its senior citizens had been brutally murdered.
Amos Jellison, 74, had lived alone in a trailer house on Prospect Street, not far from his nephew, Daryl.
Daryl Jellison called authorities in the middle of the night, to tell them he had received an anonymous phone call from an older man at around 1 a.m., telling him that his uncle is hurt badly, and adding, "you'd better come." Jellison asked the authorities if an officer could check on his uncle.
A few minutes later, Daryl Jellison and his father, Elmer, went to Amos's trailer house at 306 Prospect. They found Amos dead from head trauma caused by an unknown weapon, possibly an ax.
Jellison's murder was never solved; it is one of several Cold Cases from Benton County on the Iowa Cold Cases Web site.
Vinton Today published a series of stories on the cold cases two years ago.
