Happy Monday! Another week, another challenge. You all did SO great last week! I'm impressed.
Tomorrow is Fat Tuesday so I want you to find the fattest cookbook in your collection, once you have it turn to the 3rd recipe of the 4th chapter.
That is your recipe this week!
As always you can go plus or minus 5 pages to find a recipe that suits your family's likes or dislikes.
Post your recipe and review here! Can't wait to see what you come up with.
Ha ha!! Oh boy!! This should be good!!
Is that fat by pages or fat by measured width?
I don't often get asked to define irony, but when I do, I always say,
"Why, yes. Yes, I AM a Field Editor for Taste of Home."
Well, sure, leave it up to me. You know I can't make these agonizing decisions! I'm a Pisces, for gourdsake!
.........I suppose I could use this ambiguity to my advantage and call it "art." Yes, I'll try that. I'll approach this from a completely artistic standpoint.
You can do it...I have faith.
If you really can't decide...pick two.
sstetzelIf you really can't decide...pick two.
Fattest cookbook, measured width is The America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. Fourth chapter is about sandwiches. Third recipe is for "Tuna Melts". I'm in! It's on the Sunday menu.

cast_iron_kingHas anyone mentioned lately that you are EVIL? I just noticed.
Krissy always said I was sweet...I hold onto that label.
Krissy said everyone was sweet, even me. So you know she lied sometimes.
No, wait, she called me bodacious. I guess that's different.
sstetzelKrissy always said I was sweet...I hold onto that label.
Well, bless your heart! I guess it must be true...
I have quite a few that are close in size so I picked Woman's Home Companion Cookbook. The fourth recipe would be coffee so I move onto the the tea section. An interesting note - this cookbook has the copyright date of 1942. What I found interesting are the coffee recipes which include Iced Coffee Frappe and Iced Mocha. There's nothing new under the sun! The fourth recipe is for tea is called Spiced Tea Granite. Can't wait to try it.

:) Happy to be a Taste of Home Volunteer Field Editor
...Today is a gift, That's why it's called the Present Eleanor Roosevelt
I had my book, Amy Vanderbilts's Complete Cookbook, picked out--one of 3 fat ones. I was going to make English Muffins, but it doesn't look like it will fit in to do it. It's been a busy week. I might still make them sometime later. It sounds interesting. I should be able to join in next week.
I'm back with my recipe. The biggest, fattest cookbook I have is the Taste of Home Cookbook. It is huge. The fourth chapter is Beef and Veal but since we can go five recipes either way, I backed up to the last recipe in the third chapter of Soups and Sandwiches, called Toasted Reubens.
This is not only a super quick recipe but I swear it tastes better than some deli Reubens I have eaten in the past. I followed the recipe to the letter except that I halved the recipe for two sandwiches. I hesitated when I saw sweet pickle relish as an ingredient as it is not one of my favorites but I wanted to prepare the recipe as written so I used it. I also used horseradish and it was not too hot. All the ingredients together gave the sauce a delicious flavor. Don't leave any out. I had a difficult time finding corned beef as Walmart informed me that they did not carry it any more since no one bought it. I ended up buying some deli pastrami in Kroger. No corned beef. That is really hard to believe. At any rate, the pastrami worked perfectly. The recipe calls for 8 oz. of sauerkraut but that is not to be found around here. I had to open a 14 oz. can so I do have some left over. I used seedless rye bread and in the end, the sandwich was absolutely delicious. I swear it was as good as a restaurant Reuben, if not better. DH, who years ago did not like rye bread or sauerkraut or even corned beef, declared it delicious and wants it again. We will be having this again, and soon, since I have many of the ingredients left over. This is definitely a five star winner.
Here is the recipe and my picture.
1 sandwich equals 705 calories, 45 g fat (15 g saturated fat), 124 mg cholesterol, 2,830 mg sodium, 41 g carbohydrate, 6 g fiber, 34 g protein.

Proud Volunteer Field Editor for Taste of Home for 18 years.Multiple contest winner.
No fair, MarineMom! That looks too good! I'm going to be craving a Reuben all day!
The thickest cookbook I have is The Culinary Arts Institute Encyclopedic Cookbook, copyright 1948. This was the first cookbook Dogger and I owned together, and you can see it has been put through its paces. We bought it used and then proceeded to press the point! For a long time, it was the only cookbook we owned. It doesn't have a lot of the frilly new-style dishes in today's cookbooks, but it is an indispensable guide to everything you need to know about true cooking from scratch. I wasn't sure if it really was the thickest cookbook we have because years of use have cracked the spine so that it may appear thicker than it actually is, but it is certainly the biggest by page count (1040!), so I figured this was the right book.
Part of the fun of this book is that is was obviously geared toward teaching new brides how to be good wives in 1948. It tells how your kitchen should be properly laid out for maximum efficiency, and gives such helpful instructions as how to clean a refrigerator or a range ("The modern range is as easy to take care of as a set of mixing bowls. The parts are easily disassembled making it a simple matter to keep each part scrupulously clean!") One has to wonder what the heck they were using for mixing bowls...
The directions led to the section "Breads, Biscuits and Rolls," and the recipe is Anadama Bread. With a name that sounds like it came off an Alan Parsons album, I just had to do a little research to see what this bread is all about. It turns out that Anadama bread is a traditional New England bread made with molasses, corn meal and wheat or rye flour. It is also a rather sexist concoction. You see, the story goes that Anadama Bread got its name from the fisherman who created it and referred to it as an insult at his wife, Anna. Anna, it turns out, was not very imaginative in the kitchen. So every night the fisherman got the same meal, over and over. One night, after a hard fisher day, the fisherman came to find the cornmeal mush cooking on the mantle, and for the poor fisherman it was one day of cornmeal mush too many. So he angrily threw some flour and molasses into the mixture and baked it, all the while muttering, "Anna...[expletive] her!" Now, I guess that's a cute Lake Wobegon-style tale of how a food gets its name, but what it completely fails to take into account is that maybe this fisherman wouldn't have been eating corn meal mush every night if he even aspired to being a mediocre fisherman. I think the real story is that Anna was probably a fine cook, but her fisherman husband was apparently a failure at his chosen profession, since he couldn't provide Anna with even the occasional...uh...FISH...to break the monotony.
I'm willing to bet that it was Anna who knew to add the yeast, but the story doesn't say anything about yeast, so we'll never know. Meanwhile, Anna had to live with the shame of knowing her husband's popular bread recipe was a deliberate insult to her. Since it was International Women's Day when I made this, I decided it was time to clear the air once and for all, to right this horrendous injustice. I am petitioning the New England States to officially name this bread, "Fisherman's Failure."
1/2 cup yellow corn meal2 cups boiling water2 tablespoons shortening1/2 cup molasses1 teaspoon salt1 cake yeast1/2 cup lukewarm water5 cups sifted flour (about)Stir corn meal very slowly into the water just before it boils. Boil 5 minutes. Add shortening, molasses and salt. Cool. When lukewarm, add yeast softened in warm water and enough flour to make a stiff dough. Knead well. Let rise until slightly more than doubled in bulk. Shape into loaves, place in greased loaf pans and let rise until light. Bake in a hot (400°) oven 1 hour. Makes two loaves.
I halved the recipe because I only wanted one loaf. Even so, this required a LOT of extra flour. The dough was extremely wet. I think I used about a cup extra flour for a half recipe, so you know that's a significant thing. It did rise beautifully, though, after working in all that extra flour.
Ready to avenge Anna!
The bread baked up just fine and it smelled really good. You could detect the molasses on the breeze. It was quite sweet. The crust was REALLY dark. Dogger thinks it baked too long, but it's not burnt. It just has a thick dark crust.
Well, we both find the bread flawed, but for different reasons. Dogger didn't like the thick dark crust, but said the soft, inner bread was just fine. Myself, I found all the flavor to be in the thick crust, with the soft inner bread kind of bland.
We both agree this would be a fine bread for soup, though. There's nothing really wrong with this bread, it just didn't hit any high notes with us.
Armed and ready for next week...!

Character Role Analysis
Volumnia just might be the ultimate stage mom: she raises her son to be Rome's deadliest warrior and then pushes him into running for political office and then convinces him not to destroy Rome in Act 5, scene 3. Oops. This gets Coriolanus killed, when the Volscians accuse him of treason for signing a peace treaty with Rome.
Volumnia may be the most Coriolanus' mother, but Menenius is his father figure to Coriolanus. In Act 5, scene 2, Menenius visits Coriolanus and begs him to take mercy on Rome. In the process, he reminds Coriolanus over and over that they've always had a father/son type relationship.

2011 News Releases
Longwood Class of 2011 urged to serve others
May 14, 2011
Longwood University graduates were urged at commencement May 14 to maintain their integrity, to be courageous enough to try new things, and to serve others. (View the Commencement 2011 Photo Gallery)
"Service above self will always be the gold standard by which you value your life, not how much gold you can accumulate," Longwood President Patrick Finnegan told the graduates.
"We believe that we should not just provide an education that results in a degree and job opportunities but that everyone at Longwood should dedicate their efforts to teach and lead our students to a key purpose: That Longwood graduates have a responsibility to use what they have learned to improve their community, our Commonwealth, and this country," he said. "We call that citizen leadership. I realize that term has almost become a cliché, but I believe that the underlying idea of service is the key. To another graduating class years ago, Albert Schweitzer said 'I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found a way to serve.' Maybe there's another way to put it, in terms of a lesson we all learned in kindergarten that is still valid - if you take something out, you have to put it back."
Some 830 bachelor's degrees and 162 master's degrees were awarded. This includes students who finished degrees requirements in summer 2010 and fall 2010, in addition to May 2011. Some 817 graduates were expected to participate in Commencement.
Elizabeth (Beth) Megan Riley, a liberal studies major from Suffolk, and John-Harwood Scott, a chemistry major and biology minor from Farmville, shared the Sally Barksdale Hargrett Prize for Academic Excellence, given to the graduating senior with the highest grade point average. Both graduated with a perfect 4.0 GPA. Scott also received the Dan Daniel Senior Award for Scholarship and Citizenship. This is only the sixth time that a graduating senior has received both awards.
Riley, who graduated in three years, concentrated in elementary education with certification in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade. She is a member of the Cormier Honors College, Phi Kappa Phi national honor society and Kappa Delta Pi, an international honor society in education, is a Hull Scholar, an officer in the Honors Student Association, and an Honors Freshman Orientation Peer Mentor, and she worked at many Honors Admissions open houses and was a volunteer at FACES, a local food pantry. She has been admitted into Longwood's graduate program in education and will pursue a master's degree in literacy and culture. Her brother, Eric, will enter Longwood as a freshman this fall. Riley is the daughter of Col. Andrew and Caroline Riley.
Scott has been accepted at the Medical College of Virginia and plans to be an oncologist. He is a member of the Cormier Honors College; completed a Senior Honors Research project, "Study in Heat Induced Cis/Trans Isomerization in Vegetable Oils and Oleic Acid;" and is a member of the Honors Student Association and has been an Honors Freshman Orientation Peer Mentor and a FACES volunteer. He also serves as a student representative to the Honors Advisory Committee. His brother, Tom, is a 2009 Longwood graduate. Scott is the son of Porter and late Janet Scott. Scott's mother was a Longwood alumna (M.S., '85), and his grandmother, Margaret Scott, worked in the Longwood library from 1967 to 1993.
Dr. David M. Carkenord, professor of psychology, received the Student-Faculty Recognition Award, which honors a faculty member for professional excellence and devoted service to students. Dr. Carkenord, who joined the Longwood faculty in 1992, is the faculty adviser to Psi Chi, the national honor society in psychology. He teaches the majority of courses in the industrial/organizational concentration, as well as introductory psychology and quantitative methods, and has done research in pedagogy (teaching methods) and has presented on this subject at national conferences.
Otis L. Brown, president of the Longwood Real Estate Foundation and vice rector of the Longwood Board of Visitors, received the Presidential Distinguished Service Award. This is the seventh time the award has been bestowed since its creation in 2000. Brown was instrumental in creating the Real Estate Foundation and has been president and director since its inception in 2004, and he has served on the Board of Visitors since 2003 (his term expires June 30) and as vice rector since 2007. The resolution that accompanied the award cites the crucial role Brown played in developing Lancer Park and Longwood Landings at Midtown Square, two Longwood-managed off-campus apartment communities. Brown's wife, Frances Young Brown, is a Longwood alumna.
President Finnegan, who came to Longwood in July 2010, was following a tradition in which each new president is the commencement speaker at the end of his or her first year. In his remarks, he highlighted ideas that he hopes students will keep in mind.
"Honesty and integrity matter," Finnegan said. "You're entering a world where the pace of change continues to accelerate, driven by complex technological, commercial, political and social forces. Dynamic and, at times, disruptive change is the constant of our age and of your future. Higher education can be the best source of the knowledge and the perspective that we need, as individuals and as a nation, to cope with change and its consequences. As borders are obliterated, as time and space shrink, education can be a powerful force that moves the world while it transforms individuals and communities.
"But all the learning you have done, all the skills and knowledge you've acquired, won't mean much unless you apply it properly. Technology and talent alone cannot succeed when character fails. History teaches us this lesson, time and again. The recent near-collapse of our financial system bears witness. There was no shortage of either IQs or computers on Wall Street. Sound judgment and integrity, based not just on the bottom line but rather the long-term welfare of the enterprise and the community at large, were sorely lacking. We're proud of Longwood's Honor Code, which is celebrating its 100th year. Remember its precepts and Longwood's values as you depart and keep in mind that the Honor Code and what it stands for is not just a way of looking at certain things; it is a certain way of looking at everything. Integrity and character matter.
"It takes courage to try new things so that you can keep learning. All of you should have learned the most important thing at any good school: You've learned how to learn. Take that lesson, even if uncertain, and stretch yourselves. Sometimes you may fail; don't worry too much, everyone fails occasionally. If you don't experience any failure, that's usually not a sign of perfection but a signal that your goals may not be bold enough. The real mark of your character will not come from how you react to success, of which I trust there will be many. It will be how you react when you don't succeed, what you learn from those times, that you continue to believe in yourself and remain committed to learning."
Finnegan told the story of how in 1787, as Benjamin Franklin was departing the Constitutional Convention, he was asked "Mr. Franklin, what type of government have you given us?" His reply was "We have given you a republic, Madam, if you can keep it."
"Our founding fathers realized that a people who sought to govern themselves, a nation that wished to keep its new constitutional freedoms intact, must be one in which its citizens are not only educated but embrace the values of honesty, equality, civility, and duty," Finnegan said. "They believed that education should become the basis for service for the good of the community. Longwood's mission aligns directly with the ideals our founders believed necessary to the success and property of this new nation."
Finnegan mentioned the social experiences, including Color Wars at Oktoberfest and Oozeball at Spring Weekend, that he has shared with students. "You could have paid little attention to that new guy who had just arrived as the president. That would have been understandable. After all, you had spent the bulk of your time at Longwood under a different president. Yet you chose to welcome me warmly. I have had the opportunity to get to know many of you, and I've learned a lot. I came here already knowing the Electric Slide (dance), but, under your tutelage, I have added the Cupid Shuffle to my repertoire. I've learned how to play volleyball in the mud and how difficult it can be to wash red and green paint out of gray hair. Today as you prepare to depart 'Farmvegas,' I assure you that I will remember you. But more important, Longwood University will remember. Your names are written on the pages of our history books."

The Utility Control Point and Data Application Component, Part 1
Last updated Mar 28, 2003.
This tutorial is a two-part series where I'll cover two new features introduced in SQL Server 2008 R2. I make a point of not covering features in a beta state, since that's not as useful to "real world" data professionals. Things change during a beta or more accurately the "Community Technical Preview" (CTP) and you won't run those in production anyway. So I normally wait until a feature is released before I talk about it here on InformIT.
I'm covering these two features together because they work more or less hand-in-hand, meaning one is not as useful without the other. They do, however serve different purposes.
The Utility Control Point
The Utility Control Point (or simply UCP) is a feature that is very similar to the Management Data Warehouse (MDW) that was introduced in SQL Server 2008 (which I've explained in more detail here). It is simply a single place where performance and activity data is collected and stored. In fact, it uses the same mechanisms to collect that data as the MDW – using yet another feature called the Data Collector (DC). The UCP does, however, have some interesting differences.
The first difference is the depth of data that the UCP collects as opposed to the data in the MDW. The MDW has very find-grained information about the queries running on an Instance of SQL Server. The UCP does not have this level of detail. The reason is that the UCP is designed for a "wider" breadth of data – dozens (and in some cases hundreds) of systems. In fact, you won't see any detailed query data stored in the UCP, whereas in the MDW you can drill down all the way down to the Query Plan for an individual statement, if you wish. The UCP, by contrast stores information about CPU use at both the SQL Server Instance-level and the Windows Server-level, and storage information. As you'll see in a moment, it also stores data about applications that you "package up" into a Data Access Component (DAC).
That brings up the other difference between the MDW and the UCP — the way the data is used. The MDW has a greater ability to find and tune badly performing queries, but only on a single Instance at a time. The UCP is used to show how heavily used an Instance of SQL Server is over a period of time, from a CPU and storage perspective. This allows you to quickly see and drill in on Instances that are showing pressure on those two components. As I'll explain in a moment, you can do this by examining the Instance information or information about an application that you've "deployed" as a DAC.
Setting up the UCP
To begin, you'll need a central server to store the Instances and DAC's that you want to track. If you purchase the Enterprise Edition of SQL Server 2008 R2, you can track up to 25 Instances, and if you purchase the new DataCenter Edition you can track up to 200.
There are also quite a few requirements for setting up the UCP, which you can find in Books Online here. The more important ones are quoted from that page:
- SQL Server must be version 10.50 or higher.
- The SQL Server instance type must be Database Engine.
- The SQL Server Utility must operate within a single Windows domain, or across domains with two-way trust relationships.
- The SQL Server service accounts on the UCP and all managed instances of SQL Server must have read permission to Users in Active Directory.
An interesting side-note is that Books Online recommends a case-sensitive Instance for the UCP server. This may be due to the fact that the joins for the various tables within the msdb database (where it stores the information for the UCP and DACs) are based on server names, not a GUID or other artificial key, but in any case the documentation indicates that you can use a case-insensitive UCP if the managed Instances are case-insensitive. This is how I have mine set up.
The documentation also mentions about 20MB per managed Instance of storage that is required, which may change if you alter some of the settings. I haven't found this to be a problem with the 25 Instances I'm monitoring with this feature.
After you've checked to ensure that you meet all of the requirements for a UCP setup, it's a VERY simple process – and in fact when you click on the new tab for The Utility Control Point you're shown a series of (English only) links to videos that walk through the whole process. Even if you don't speak English, the steps are all shown in the video.
When you're done, you can connect to the Utility with the top left-hand icon in the icon bar of the Utility Explorer panel.
You can see here that I have already set mine up, and I'm collecting information on about 25 Instances. To monitor an instance, you simply right-click the "Managed Instances" Node in the Utility Explorer panel and another Wizard appears:
Once again, those same restrictions from above apply. It's also important to note that as of the writing of this tutorial, only SQL Server 2008 R2 is supported to be a managed Instance – although the word on the street is that a soon-to-be-released Service Pack for SQL Server 2008 will allow those to be enrolled as well.
I mentioned earlier that the UCP system uses the Data Collector feature from SQL Server version 2008. This has a few important considerations. First, it's the reason for all these requirements. In other words, if you can run the Data Collector (DC) on an Instance, you can't manage the Instance with the UCP. That means no SQL Server 2005, no SQL Server 2000, and – perhaps most important of all – you can only talk to one DC target at a time. This means if you've implemented the Management Data Warehouse feature in SQL Server 2008, you'll either have to break that relationship and start pointing that data to your UCP instance, or you won't be able to monitor it with this utility.
With the feature installed and a few Instances enrolled, you can see the results of your labor in that screen I displayed earlier. I'll take a moment now and explain what you're looking at, and how you can use that data. Just there at the top and on the left is a pie chart with three values: Instances that are well-used, over-used and under-used.
This is the key to the feature – it helps you understand where you can place Instances on various hardware or Virtualized Machines. In my case I have 20 Instances that are doing well, none that are under-utilized and 4 that are over utilized. I'll explain where these numbers come from in a moment – and yes, you can change the values.
Just below the pie chart on the left you can see two bar charts, one for over-utilized and the other under-utilized Instance information.
You can see the two components the UCP tracks – CPU (for both the System and the Instances) and the storage space. I'll come back to that in a moment. The line graph just below shows the storage space component of the Instances:
Pay close attention to this – it's a combined number. That means on ALL of the Instances I've registered with the UCP, and in my case that's about 378GB of data. That's a great piece of information to have for Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity planning, as well as storage growth trends and so on.
Now I'll return to the graph that showed me that I had four Instances that were over-utilized during this monitoring period. Just there at the bottom you can see that the reason these systems are shown as over-utilized is that the server – not the Instance – is CPU-bound. I'll click the words "Overutilized Computer CPU" and the display changes to this screen:
Notice that all four Instances that meet this criteria are shown — the yellow info bar at the top shows "filtered". I see two Machines (I've changed the names here to protect the innocent) and each has two Instances. While the Instances are fine, the Machines that house them are not. In fact, this is a Virtualized system that I apparently have over-committed the CPU on.
In the bottom-half (you may have to use the separator bar to re-size this on your screen) you can see that for the last one-week period I have good use on the CPU for the Instance but not for the Server. So now I know what I need to do.
While I'm on this panel, let me show you the rest of the tabs. The first tab to the right on the bottom of the screen shows the storage utilization, which you can filter not only by Database, but by I/O volume (drive letter) as well:
To the right of this tab is the Policy settings where you can dictate the conditions that show the system as over, under or well utilized:
Keep in mind this is per the Instance – if you want to change the settings for all Instances you monitor, you click on "Utility Administration" in the Utility Explorer. You can see in the top part of the screen that I'm using the "Global Settings" for this Instance, which means I haven't changed any of the default settings. For my Testing systems I normally alter the settings since I'm not as concerned about their performance.
Finally, there is the "Property Details" tab that explains the properties on the system I'm evaluating:
In the next installment in this series, I'll explain how some of this information can be used to monitor not only an Instance of SQL Server, but the databases it contains.

ESTRADES, Carmen y TERRA, María Inés. FIGHTING INFORMALITY IN SEGMENTED LABOR MARKETS: A general equilibrium analysis applied to Uruguay. Lat. Am. J. Econ. [online]. 2011, vol.48, n.1, pp.1-37. ISSN 0719-0433. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0719-04332011000100001.
As in other Latin American countries, labor informality in Uruguay mainly affects less educated workers, who are also more vulnerable to poverty. We analyze the impact of some policies against informality in Uruguay, applying a general equilibrium model with a segmented labor market specification. We simulate two sets of policies: payroll tax cuts and increased enforcement in the informal sector. Both sets of policies are effective in reducing informality, but the effect on poverty is not straightforward. Poverty falls as informality is reduced; however, as enforcement policies increase hiring costs for informal firms, wages of low-skilled workers decline and poverty increases.
Palabras clave : Informality; labor market; general equilibrium model; policies; poverty.

|A Bat Falcon as seen from the tower at Posada Amazonas
Bat Falcons prefer to spend their time at the edges of rivers to catch unwary birds and bats that happen to fly across the waterway. The unobstructed view and flying space favors the falcon and keeps many birds from flying across the river. For this reason, small birds adapted to the forest understory rarely fly across a waterway as wide as the Tambopata and therefore tend to become isolated from populations of the same species that reside in the forests on the opposite bank. Birds with rapid flight such as parakeets and swifts don't hesitate in flying across rivers but they still do so with care and in flocks because they tend to be the birds that the Bat Falcon preys upon the most.
Some interesting facts about the Bat Falcon:

climate change, mental health
The affects of climate change can be harmful to the earth—and your mind.
Climate change clearly alters physical landscapes; once abundant fields turn barren in times of drought while large chunks of ice have been documented breaking off glaciers and dramatically splashing into the sea.
But considering the disturbances climate change can have on the mind is much more abstract. That hasn't stopped a few researchers from beginning to assess the affects climate change has on mental health. Much of the findings are thanks to psychiatric epidemiologist Helen Berry of the University of Canberra in Australia, who has looked at how farmers and youth have dealt with consequences stemming from climate change. Not surprisingly Berry found that, "What happens from a psychological point of view is people get knocked down. Whenever people are knocked down, they have to get up again and start over. And the more that happens, the more difficult it is to keep getting up."
However research into the emerging field is an uphill battle for a variety of reasons. Aside from the fact that there are still people out there who don't believe climate change is occurring, for those who do, linking it to mental distress is tricky. There are a number of factors ranging from someone's predisposition to depression to what people are used to in terms of climate—while farmers experiencing a drought will be negatively affected, those in urban areas may enjoy rainless days. Additionally, securing funding for research hasn't been easy. Most funders want to see quantifiable results which aren't always possible in mental health studies, let alone research that's tied to the complicated matter of climate change, which Berry suspects will need to be conducted on a very long-term basis.
Regardless, the field is making some inroads and with that comes an expanded vocabulary. Glenn Albrecht is a professor in environmental studies at the University of Newcastle, also in Australia, who has coined solastalgia defined as "the homesickness when you're still at home and your home environment is changing around you in ways that you find negative, and that you have very little power over." Other terms include endemophilia (the love people feel for what's special about where they're from or live) and soliphilia (a positive state that is a result of collaboration and healing). In fact soliphilia may be the best antidote for solastalgia; Berry has found that when people work together on environmental activities like restoring a garden, their anxiety decreases.
In the U.S., the American Psychological Association and ecoAmerica recently teamed up and produced a report entitled "Beyond Storms and Droughts: The Psychological Impacts of Climate Change" which cites consequences such as PTSD and depression. It concludes that vulnerable groups such as those living under the poverty line will likely experience more climate related stress. The report also urges people and communities to prepare for the impact of climate change; by strengthening social ties, integrating mental health awareness with disaster preparedness, and getting organizations to work together, some of the negative ramifications can be assuaged.

Video definitions, "Aiki" and other terms.

Re: Video definitions, "Aiki" and other terms.
Chris Hein
I think I can do any demonstration of this stuff that any one else can. If you don't believe me, make a video of you doing something, and I'll copy it. I think all this talking has made you guys think this stuff is harder then it really is.
Hi Chris:
Well, I'm looking at the topic of defining as opposed to a challenge. I started to post yesterday that I think the real problem with the defining aspect is (after reading some of the posts) simply that a person can only define in terms of what he knows. Some pretty explicit definitions (yet simple) definitions have been offered so far and my opinion is that the reason some of them get rejected is that the people who are rejecting them just don't understand the basic principles yet. I.e., the people who don't know how to do these things can't see the point of some fairly obvious 'definitions', yet once they've been shown I feel that they will simply nod and shrug at the obvious.
Another problem with the videos has to do with what can happen to interpretations of what is seen. I'm not a great exponent of the "jo trick"... and in my opinion Ueshiba never really pulled it off in the filmed attempts I've seen (he *may* have been able to do it better when he was younger and stronger). That being said, I see something entirely different in what he was attempting to do than you do in your explanation that has to do with suggestion, and so on.
Watching what you do and how you do it, my impression is that I can do a number of things with "aiki" that you can't do, but that's because your definition of "aiki" is quite different in understanding from what I understand; from what I know I can do some demonstrations that your "structure" approach simply doesn't allow for. As I mentioned to you previously, "structure" is not so important in the way I do things. I also posted a picture of two of Tohei's students doing a good basic example; I think that picture on one-leg should be a defining static example that people should be able to do well, since the dynamic examples can be a lot more sophisticated.
However, while I'm interested in the topic of approaching a definition, I'd already begun to drop out because I think the discussion is impossible to bring to fruition until everyone understands how to do these things at a basic level. Then the definition would be simple, IMO: it would be more a matter of using terms that truly define in the simplest and most accurate manner.

From Conservapedia
Antiterrorism is a term used to describe any effort to limit, oppose, or eradicate terrorist forces. Antiterrorism tactics include ways of detecting terrorist acts before they are committed (such as surveillance), identifying terrorist personnel from regular civilians, and displaying a show of force to discourage terrorist activities.
An example of an antiterrorist policy is Israel permitting its citizens to carry weapons. This has helped to cut down on terrorist attacks there.[1]

O Captain! My Captain!
by Walt Whitman
O Captain! My Captain! Admiration Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #4
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning; (12)
It's important to consider whether the crowd is really cheering for the captain himself, or for the success of the mission. (Or maybe this ship is filled with discount sneakers.) Clearly, the speaker is encouraging us to see the captain as the focal point for the crowd's admiration.
Quote #5
Here Captain! dear father! (13)
With these apostrophes, the speaker encourages enthusiastic admiration from the more than just the people on the shore. It's as though the entire country should spring to life in applauding the captain.

This week the folks at Qualcomm have announced that their one and only developer conference Uplinq 2013 will this year be held between September 3rd and 5th, chock-full of mobile application and developer strategy goodness from start to finish. This event will once again be working with technical sessions, chats, demonstrations, and networking opportunities in massive amounts - and SlashGear will be there to cover the whole gamut! While registration isn't quite open yet, it will be extremely soon for those interested in jumping in on the future of mobile computing from the Qualcomm side of the universe.
Uplinq is as Qualcomm claims it, "the wireless industry's only cross-platform developer's conference", and it's now been expanded to three full days. This set of events will be featuring here in 2013 a series of professionals from all angles - developers, manufacturers, operators, and technology providers alike. This set of events will show a cross-platform look at the wireless industry from not just a series of perspectives, but the specific perspectives you'll find valuable to your business.
Qualcomm's Uplinq series of events is made for "all members of the value chain", as senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Qualcomm Anand Chandrasekher makes clear, and "Feedback from last year's attendees has us adding more technical sessions and further enhancing the business development programs we will be offering at Uplinq 2013." It's basically going to be one big technology high-five for everyone who's responsible for creating, delivering, or supporting the industry from top to bottom!
Have a peek at our Uplinq collection to see what we've seen in the past from Qualcomm's premiere developer conference. This event has shown us everything from the tiniest in-device speaker amplifications to the largest previews of Qualcomm technologies for the future. Camera demonstrations with sword fighters, device previews from top manufacturers, and up close and personal action in the Snapdragon environment - hot stuff!

Membership dues to increase July 1
The UAF Alumni Association Board of Directors approved the streamlined and updated dues structure at its January meeting. The first year's membership in the association following a student earning his or her initial degree will remain in place, a benefit some alumni organizations have eliminated in the Lower 48 but one that the UAFAA board agreed is important to keep. The "club" discount for recent grads will be eliminated, as few members selected that option and it caused confusion among members regarding eligibility. Lifetime memberships will remain unchanged. In all categories, the surcharge for spouses in the alumni couples membership will be eliminated. Spouses after July 1 will be free.
Board members noted that dues have not increased to keep pace with inflation since at least the early to mid-1990s. Meanwhile, events, supplies and the costs of doing business as a nonprofit organization in Alaska have increased steadily over that time, leaving the UAFAA in a tenuous revenue position. In light of a goal of keeping the UAFAA sustainable, the board unanimously approved the changes, which are as follows:
- Annual dues will increase from $35 to $50. Three-year memberships will increase from $95 to $140, a $10 discount.
- Lifetime memberships will remain at $1,000.
- The surcharge for spouses in all categories will be eliminated. Alum spouses will be free!
- Installment payments for Lifetime memberships must be completed within three years vs. five, at $334 each. Anyone currently on a five-year installment plan is grandfathered in. The reason for the change is that five years is as long as a much more costly car loan; too long.
While increasing rates is never popular, the sustainable future of the UAF Alumni Association--an important partner in UAF's overall alumni relations program--was at the heart of the board's decision. The UAFAA appreciates your ongoing support, and we value each and every one of our alumni!
Become a UAFAA Benefactor
The Alumni Benefactor Program was established to encourage alumni to participate in an annual giving program. Alumni benefactors once raised $21,900. The funds are used to underwrite student-oriented projects such as the purchase of furniture for the Wood Center and alumni office lounges. We have also underwritten many student projects, including campus concerts, residence hall activities, campuswide events and celebrations and the replacement of Student Activities' outdoor recreation equipment.

We are well-situated for all the major Peak District attractions as well as having beautiful grounds and indoor heated swimming pool and games room, so you can be as active or as relaxed as you want.

The Los Angeles Lakers are in trouble. They can't string together enough wins to claw their way out of the hole they've dug. They can't stay healthy. They can't find their identity. It's a mess. Oh, and they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight. They'll do so with continued injury concerns.
Paul Gasol will continue to sit as he recovers from a concussion suffered last weekend. In addition, Metta World Peace suffered a contusion to his groin area in practice, but he will play tonight. Obviously, Dwight Howard will not play with his torn labrum. It's going to be tough for Los Angeles tonight.
Mike Trudell of Lakers.com has the details:
Metta World Peace suffered a contusion to his groin the other night, but will start vs OKC. May guard Durant less than usual, though.
— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) January 11, 2013
W/Howard & Gasol out again tonight, LAL will have lost 40 games to starters this season. OKC have lost 0 starter's games to injury.The Lakers enter play tonight with a record of 15-20. They are five games out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. As Trudell pointed out, the Lakers have a ton of games due to injury. That's part of their problem. But they have to improve their play along with getting healthy if they are going to get back into the race.

Ligon to run for Royals
AVON PARK - The Warner University track and field team likes to think of themselves as one big family. That family tie added another knot on Monday, when Avon Park track and field standout Angelina Ligon signed a letter of participation to compete for the Royals next year, joining her older sister Angelique, who has been on the Warner team the past two years. "I'm glad that Angelina wanted to come with us," said Warner coach Emperatriz Gonzalez-Henao. "When I was recruiting Angelina I saw her running at Frostproof a couple of meets and we're thrilled to have the two of them." Angelina had a solid season for the Red Devils, helping the Avon Park 4 X 100 meter relay team advance to regionals, but is versatile enough to compete in several different events, which was another attraction for the Royals. "I'm really excited to work with Angelina next season because she's running the hurdles and two years ago she did high jump," Gonzalez-Henao said. "She can do a lot as part of the team and will help us in a lot of events."Although Angelina can fill in pretty much anywhere, she's partial to one event. "My favorite event is the 100 hurdles," she said. "I ran on the 4X 100 relay team and ran on the 4-X 400 relay team once." Angelina placed fifth in districts in the 100 hurdles. Angelina plans to major in social work and Gonzalez-Henao said it's nice to know that she won't have to worry about grades or any of the other pitfalls that can befall new college athletes. "I think the family has done an excellent job with these young ladies," she said. "They're working hard on grades and hard in practice." The two sisters plan to room together and Angelina said it will be nice to be reunited with her older sibling, who can also help out while she learns a few of the ropes of college life. Gonzalez-Henao and Angelique are in Marion, Ind., as the Royals' 4 X 100 relay team qualified for nationals and broke the school record four times. The Royals have been consistently strong in track and field-placing second in the conference meet four straight years-and lose just two seniors to graduation, so next year's team should be another pretty strong group of athletes. "I am so happy to be going to Warner," Angelina said. "I can't wait to go." Angelina said she was appreciative of all those who helped and supported her. "I want to thank my mom, thank God and thank everybody," she said. "I'm really excited." firstname.lastname@example.com 863-386-5841

One day, Willie the Penguin was at Pearson Park for a family reunion with all of his brothers and sisters. It was a huge reunion with relatives from all over. Willie went off to do a little exploring and when he returned to shelter number 6, he found out that his family had left without him. Poor Willie, he was all alone. Will was a practical penguin and went in search of a suitable shelter/home until he is reunited with his family. Here is what he did. First he stood and looked at the shelter. (Shelter #6) There were two possible paths, he took the paved path to the right. He stayed to the left on this path and went thru two yellow posts. He continued on... he passed a really tall dead tree and then a large stump that was very close to the trail. He thought he could smell ice so he kept moving forward on the trail. He eventually passed through another set of yellow posts and realized he was standing behind a very large building. (Hess Ice Rink). He could still smell ice so he followed his nose. Looking to the left, he spotted a baseball field and began to walk toward that. Out of the corner of his eye (Left) he spotted a mound of ice! In July! He moved closer to explore the ice and decided he was going to find a home near this spot. Right behind ice, there was a trail leading back into the woods. At the entrance was a very large log on the right. He ventured into the woods. Approx. 11 paces into the woods, he saw a basketball sized rock to the left of the trail, directly ahead of this, a small trail to the right appeared. He took that route. He followed a circular path, keeping the building in sight. He came across a fallen tree with spiky roots a few feet off the trail to his right. He left the trail and walked toward the tree, it intersected with two other fallen trees, making an "A". Willie decided to make his new home here in the cross bar of the "A" on the left side, under a pile of sticks.

'Arrow,' Season 1, Episode 15, 'Dodger': TV Recap
When we last left Oliver Queen (aka: the superhero Arrow), his secret identity had been revealed to the beautiful computer genius Felicity Smoak, who agreed to help him find his missing step-father, Walter. Meanwhile, Oliver's sidekick, Digg, was convinced Oliver's mother, Moira, was evil but Oliver would have none of it. Lets see what our favorite archer is up to this week…
We begin by looking at a beautiful red ruby. A guard named Jerry is watching it. He knocks out another guard and grabs the stone. He exits the building and gives the stone to a bad guy who is waiting for him. The bad guy had put an explosive collar on the guard and removes it once the guard gives him the ruby. He then knocks the guard out with a shock-stick and walks away.
At Arrow's hideout, Oliver is training, as Felicity looks on. He is going after some guy named Ken Williams, who ran a pyramid scheme. Felicity tries to stop him because she thinks Williams isn't all bad. When Oliver refuses, she leaves and says she will not help him any more.
It is time for a flashback to Oliver's time on the island. Oliver's buddy Slade is very sick. The bullet he took to the arm is infected and he is not doing well. Oliver is going to go back to Yao Fei's cave to find the healing herbs that could help Slade. Slade doubts Oliver will last very long alone on the island.
We return to the present, to the Queen family mansion. Moira greets a Chinese man named Frank. They start talking about "The Undertaking," which is the evil cabal's plan for Starling City. Moira says she wants out of The Undertaking, which was originally supposed to revitalize the city but is now meant to destroy it. She knows Frank has his doubts about it too.
Oliver and Digg visit Felicity at her office. Oliver wants her back on the team. She seems willing. The news talks about a jewel thief known as "The Dodger." He's called The Dodger because he uses hostages with bomb collars to commit his crimes for him. Oliver wants to prove to Felicity that he isn't only about getting people who are in his little black book so he says they should go after The Dodger next.
The Dodger goes to visit a fence who is going to take the Ruby off his hands. The fence's henchmen surround The Dodger and threaten to kill him. He quite quickly uses his shock stick to knock them all out. The Dodger then shoots the fence.
Digg, Oliver, and Felicity are at Digg's sister-in-law, Carly's restaurant. Digg's brother is dead and everyone can tell Digg and Carly like each other. Oliver agrees to ask the very attractive Det. McKenna Hall out on a date if Digg will ask out Carly. Meanwhile, Oliver and Felicity decide that they need to bug Det. McKenna's phone so they can figure out what the police know about The Dodger.
Oliver's sister, Thea, and Oliver's ex-girlfriend Laurel are walking down the street when a purse snatcher grabs Thea's bag. They chase him into an alley where he is cornered against a fence. He smiles at them as he uses some nifty athleticism to scale the wall, get over the fence, and run away. But, a chain he was wearing snags on the fence, giving Thea and Laurel some evidence to figure out who he is.
At police HQ, Oliver goes to visit Det. McKenna. During their conversation, he manages to put the bug on her phone. Oliver stammers and stumbles his way into asking her to dinner. She seems excited by it and says yes.
We go back in time to the island, where Oliver has made it to Yao Fei's cave. He gets some of the herb he needs just as a beaten up man staggers forth. "Help me," he says.
In the present, Felicity's bug is working wonderfully. The team hears that The Dodger killed the fence and Oliver decides the best way to catch The Dodger is to find where Dodger will try to sell the ruby next.
Thea calls some local merchants who sell chains and manages to figure out that the purse snatcher is a guy named Roy Harper. She calls Laurel to see if Laurel's dad will go arrest Harper.
Roy Harper!! Comic book fans know Roy Harper as the alter ego of the superhero Speedy, who was a young sidekick to Green Arrow. Speedy was as good with weapons and hand-to-hand fighting as Green Arrow was. It will be interesting to see if the folks behind Arrow turn this character into a sidekick for our hero.
Digg and Carly are on their date. They are having a great time, until Digg mentions his brother. Bad move. The date ends quite quickly and badly. Meanwhile, McKenna and Oliver are enjoying their date, which includes a dessert of soufflé. She asks him a lot about his life on the island. He admits that it changed him but won't say more than that. She gets a phone call from work and has to leave.
Back to the island. Oliver asks the wounded man how he got there. He says he was an exchange student but that his boat sunk. He got to the island, but was grabbed by the enemy soldiers and beaten up. I think his story makes no sense. Why did they let him go after catching him? I smell a rat.
The Dodger has found a new fence. They are negotiating about the ruby when the police burst in. Henchmen and police get into a gunfight as The Dodger manages to escape. Arrow is outside waiting for him. He fires a couple long-distance arrows that Dodger manages to avoid. Arrow gets closer and seems to have Dodger pinned down when Dodger activates one of his bomb collars and throws it at Arrow. The explosion knocks our hero off his feet and Dodger escapes.
Felicity, Digg and Oliver figure out exactly what kind of jewels The Dodger likes. They are all from a specific Spanish dynasty. Olvier decides he will just buy one of them and put it on display, luring The Dodger out of hiding. Digg makes a joke about how ridiculously rich Oliver's family is.
Det. Lance is questioning Roy Harper. He has a long history of petty theft. He admits that he has only been stealing stuff to help his mother, who is suffering the after effects of addiction to the drug Vertigo. Thea doesn't want to press charges against him.
Frank visits Mommy Moira. He says he has arranged to get her out of The Undertaking. She asks for his help in locating her missing husband, Walter. She knows Malcolm Merlyn took Walter. Frank agrees to help but says the two of them are going to get in trouble for going up against Malcolm.
Oliver has put the Spanish jewels on display at a charity fundraiser. He, Felicity, and Digg are all waiting for The Dodger to make his move. Oliver sees Det. McKenna at the event, but does not want to talk to her. The Dodger grabs the jewel, which no one seems to notice except Felicity. She confronts him and he puts a bomb collar on her.
Oliver knows the only way to save Felicity to get The Dodger and get him to disarm the bomb. There is a tracking device on the jewels so he can follow them. Oliver grabs a motorcycle from a biked dude and heads off after The Dodger. We get treated to some cool pictures of Oliver (or a stunt man riding a motorcycle) wheeling his way through the city in pursuit of The Dodger. While riding the bike, Oliver uses an arrow to blow out of the tires of the Dodger's car.
The Dodger holds up a detonator. He says he will blow up Felicity if Arrow comes any closer to him. Arrow quickly throws a small bolt, hitting Dodger in the arm and severing the nerves he needs to activate the detonator. The bomb is deactivated. Oliver then grabs The Dodger's shock stick and knocks him out.
Another flashback to the island. Oliver thinks the exchange student's story doesn't add up. He is confused and does not know what to do. He refuses to untie the man. "I don't know you," Oliver says, as he leaves the cave with Yao Fei's herbs.
In the present, Digg and Carly are chatting. He tries to explain things to her and they kiss.
Thea goes to visit Roy Harper. She wants her purse back. Roy knows who she is and treats her disdainfully, but he gives her the purse back, minus her cigarettes. He then tells her that his story about a needy mother was a lie as he shuts the door in her face.
Oliver goes to visit Det. McKenna. Somehow, she thinks his refusal to divulge his past on the island makes him a jerk. If you ask me, she's the nosey one who should be apologizing. But, he says some nice things about her and the two of them kiss. He asks her out for another dinner. Just then, Det. Lance comes in. He asks McKenna to work with him on the investigation into the Hooded Vigilante. She excitedly says yes. Oliver realizes that he is now dating a police detective who is trying to arrest him. His life is never easy!
Back on the island, the herbal remedy seems to have saved Slade. When he asks if Oliver ran into any trouble, Oliver says nothing about the tied up exchange student.
Moira goes to the meeting Frank has arranged. It is with the Chinese Triad assassin, China White. She asks Moira what she wants. Moira says, "Malcolm Merlyn, I want you to kill him for me."
And the episode is over!
This was an ok episode, but it seems to have set up some cool stuff for next time. Like many of you, I am eager for more of Merlyn and it is clear we are now going to get that. I expect we will see more of Roy Harper in coming episodes too. If I did not know he was a prominent comic book character, I would wonder why he had even been in this episode.
So, what did you think? Leave a comment and we call chat about it.

CAPE GIRARDEAU -- For the fifth straight year, the Charleston Bluejays have been seeded number one in the seMissourian Christmas Tournament, and for the fifth straight year, have been eliminated in the semi-final round. This year, the Bluejays fell to the number five seed Notre Dame Bulldogs Friday night. A 40 point performance by 6-8 senior Ryan Willen, helped propel the Bulldogs past Charleston in a close 70-67 final.
"We didn't adjust to the flow of the game quick enough," Bluejays head coach Danny Farmer said. "Each game is officiated a different way and that was an aggressive game and we was laying off too long before we could get aggressive."
"We didn't get aggressive soon enough, but the effort was there."
During the first period, Charleston had a tough time trying to contain Willen early on, as he had over half of Notre Dame's 20 first quarter points. Notre Dame went up 20-12 at the end of one.
The Bluejays did, however, start to climb back in the second quarter and actually tied the game at 24 with one minute left. They outscored the Bulldogs 12-6 in the second period to pull within only two at the half, 26-24.
After the break, Charleston started to turn up the pressure with their press, but Notre Dame and Willen began to pull away during the third quarter.
"They got the big guy in the middle and he gave us problems all night," Farmer said. "They didn't turn the ball over and he scored inside. We put the pressure on them, and they handled the pressure well."
Charleston found themselves down 47-38 with only the final quarter left to play.
Late in the fourth quarter, the Jays began to turn it around and cut the lead to seven points at the two minute mark. A 3-pointer by Brian Parham cut the Bulldogs lead to five with only 1:07 left to play.
With the Bulldogs leading 62-57 after the Parham 3-pointer, Charleston had no other option but to start fouling. Notre Dame answered by draining 6-8 free throws down the stretch to keep the lead at around six until late in the game. Jerquawn Sherrell made a deep 3-pointer with three seconds left in the game, only to reach the final score of 70-67.
"All I'm about is effort," Farmer said. "We want to keep playing hard all the time. We could have laid down, but we kept coming. We made it a three point game against a good team, because Notre Dame is a good team and they played a great game tonight."
If you were to ask the head coach of the number one seeded team in the seMissourian Christmas tournament about failing to reach the final round after five straight years of being the number one seed, he would tell you that, at least this year, they didn't deserve it.
"I don't even think we should have been seeded number one," Farmer said. "I think Notre Dame or Jackson should have been number one, in my opinion. I think we were number one because we won the SEMO conference tournament. We're young, we're over-achievers. We realize that we're over-
achievers. So, we want to keep pecking away."
On the other side, head coach of the Notre Dame Bulldogs, Paul Hale, had nothing but good things to say about his team and their opponent.
"It was a heck of an effort by both teams," Hale said. "Willen had an awful good game. We shot free throws good until the stretch, we about gave it to them down the stretch, but Charleston just didn't quit. They got a fine team."
"Danny's (Farmer) done a heck of a job with what he lost last year. This team here is just about as good as last years team. They're a formidable team and we feel very lucky to win.
Charleston was led by Donald Dixon who had 28 points and went 9-11 from the free throw line. Parham added 18.
Ryan Willen had a huge game with 40 points which led all scorers. Willen hit two 3-pointers and was 12-13 from the free throw line. Willen was the only Bulldog in double digits.
The two teams that Farmer thought was deserving of the number one seed, will hook up in the championship game.
"We'll show up and see what happens," Hale said. "It's going to be an uphill climb no matter who we play. We got to take it one at a time and try to get better every game.
The championship game is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. start Saturday, with Notre Dame taking on Jackson.
When Jackson beat Scott City on Thursday to advance to the semifinals of the Southeast Missourian Christmas Tournament, Hunter Grantham dominated first-half play while Jake Leet led the Indians in the second half.
It was the other way around Friday night when the Indians met Central in the semifinals at the Show Me Center.
Leet came out strong early, leading his team with 13 first-half points, and Grantham controlled play after the break with 13 second-half points as the No. 3 Indians rolled to a 59-47 win over the No. 7 Tigers.
Neither Grantham nor Leet said he planned out a role reversal.
"No, just all five of us come out there and play hard," Grantham said. "Just sometimes the boards go opposite where I am. ... The boards weren't falling good the first half and falling good the second half."
Grantham netted 18 points, Spencer Goodman poured in 16 and Leet added 15 to help the Indians advance to today's 7:30 p.m. championship game against Notre Dame. The Bulldogs moved on with a 70-67 win over Charleston.
"It's a great team," Central senior Chase Johnson said of Jackson. "They made shots that we didn't make. ... We were not trying to focus on one player. We were just trying to go out there and play our game. We have big men, too. It just came down to whose shots were going in and whose wasn't. They came to play good ball."
Leet played especially strong toward the end of the first and into the second quarter.
He nailed a 3-pointer at the end of the first to bring his team within one point at 10-9. Then he started off the second quarter by hitting another 3-point field goal from the corner to put the Indians on top 12-10.
Leet led his team with eight points, including hitting two 3-pointers, in the second period. His other 3-point basket came with 1 minute, 6 seconds before halftime to put the Indians ahead by seven at 23-16.

SBJ/20100322/This Week's News
After quick OK for Jordan, Prokhorov is next
Published March 22, 2010
NBA franchise sales activity has been swirling of late, with the fast-track approval of the Charlotte Bobcats sale to Michael Jordan and the expected sale of the Golden State Warriors. Next up is a vote on the proposed $200 million sale of the New Jersey Nets to Russian oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov.
The vote will likely occur when NBA owners gather in New York April 15-16 for their regularly scheduled board of governors meeting.
Jordan's purchase of the Bobcats took less than a month for owners to approve, but a decision on whether to bring in the league's first foreign owner has been slow in coming.
It has been six months since Nets owner Bruce Ratner announced his deal to sell the team and a minority interest in the Barclays Center arena to Prokhorov.
Jordan was unanimously approved by the NBA owners, but under board rules the Nets sale needs at least a three-fourths vote, or 23 of the NBA's 30 owners, to win approval.
— John Lombardo

I've never doctored purchased frosting either, but I have found that the frostings labeled "fluffy" stay moist longer. Betty Crocker has a new one in this area called "Fluffy Whipped Cream", and it is delightful.
I empty the can into a mixing bowl and beat it with my electric hand mixer. It gets fluffier and goes farther. If you add to the frosting it may get "watery" or separate. My guess would agree that cream cheese would be okay.
I have heard that you can add Cream of Tartar but I don't know how much, sorry. HTH
I don't know about adding something...I've heard of whipping it to go further. I did help in the church kitchen during our recent rummage sale (also sold lunch) & was told to heat up a container of pre-made, purchased frosting in the microwave until it was liquid...then I poured the chocolate frosting over a chocolate bundt cake. Worked well & made a nice glaze.
I just put a cake under it thats it
I LOVE to take milk chocolate canned frosting and add 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter to it. It makes the fudgiest chocolate peanut butter frosting imaginable!
I've never had purchased frosting of any brand get hard. I like frosting to firm up on top so it won't be sticky if you want to put Saran wrap over it. Thanks to others for their good ideas. The chocolate/peanut butter addition sounds good.
I mix mine so that it gets fluffier and also I usually add some type of extract to take the store bought taste from it.
I use Vanilla Extract a lot in store bought frosting (a teaspoon goes a long way and will give it that home made taste)
I have also used Almond Extract or peppermint extract depending on what type of cake I am making. I have even added banana extract to cream cheese icing to give it a little hint of banana flavor when making a banana cake.
I try to just make the icing have a little bit of flare to match the cake. I know this won't help with the hardness of the icing but after I mix it with the electric mixer I never have had a icing get hard on me. (actually I don't think I have ever had a store bought icing get hard)
I also have done as stated above and if you need a glaze put the icing in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute and it makes a great glaze (I put it in a sealed Food Savor *unsealed in the microwave* then seal it when it comes out...after sealed I cut a tiny snip in the corner and I have the perfect icing bag for my glaze (don't suck the air out of the bag with the Food Savor just seal the bag)
