My niece says about me, "Aunt Kim, wherever you go, yarn follows." Yeah, its true.
Mom and I used to sell crocheted Barbie clothes, stuffed animals, and baby clothes at craft fairs. Now, I sell original shrugs, sweaters and patterns on Etsy and Ravelry.
Peace, Love, Crochet!
Visit my blog at www.partpixycrochet.blogspot.com
It moves easily from day to evening wear. The soft fiber adds just enough warmth against a breezy night or the air conditioning of a car, restaurant or club.
This shrug will also pack nicely for your vacation. It is light weight is suitable for multiple climates. Great topper for a wedding or special occasion. You'll look great and be oh so comfortable. Figure flattering for all body types.
This sampler style sweater incorporates a variety of stitches - an expandable collar, top-down construction, and seamless design. What a great project to take your garment making to the next level. Try on as you go allows for flawless fitting. Pattern is sized from XS to 3X. Sleeves are also worked from the armhole down: so easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.
Sweater is made from Schachenmayr Catania DK yarn, #2 yarn premium cotton yarn, 125 m/ 137 yd balls. It's like a thick crochet cotton. This is a fun yarn to try out and has a huge color selection. I bought it from an Etsy seller, but you may substitute another #2 yarn or thread as long as you can achieve the right gauge and fit.
Sweater length falls at hip. You may adjust these proportions as the sweater is constructed.
Buy enough yarn to complete your project. If you are considering a longer sweater or sleeves,
buy 2 more skeins.
Pattern is for personal use only and may not be reproduced or redistributed for sale as that would just be uncool. Finished items may be sold, but please be a peach and mention the website where the pattern may be purchased.

While some of the messages ("smoking kills") have a certain "duh" factor, the obvious isn't always obvious to everyone in this society. Otherwise, we wouldn't have many of the stupid and tragic accidents that we do. Gentle reminders now and then not to share your prescriptions with your kids, not to leave toddlers alone poolside, to monitor your kids' Internet activity, or to simply pay attention to your kids will certainly not be lost on many. Good on NBC for producing these cheap, tiny shorts. They certainly don't hurt anyone or cost anything, and if they keep one person from leaving their kid in a hot car, then they've done their job. (We never hear the near-miss stories, do we?)
I would hope that most people would either know the lessons taught in these segments or be teaching them to their children. Having said this, I think "The More You Know" has been a great way to reinforce to my kids the lessons I am constantly trying to teach them. My son has seen the lessons and is always pleased that his old mom thinks the same things as famous people. It's also been a great way to bring up the topic and a great reminder to my kids.
Whoever thinks that this is "socialist propaganda" must think that
America stands for illegal drug use, intolerance, hate crimes and
While most of the public service announcements were on pretty obvious issues, the ones about tolerance (is that really a "left-leaning" only message?) were very effective in getting the point across.
Given that some people actually look up to TV stars (the why of this is beyond me), it's a good idea for them to issue more positive messages.
The important thing here is that the stars used and the language employed in these TV spots were age-appropriate, meaning that Jennifer Aniston or Matthew Perry would give a public service announcement for the teenage/early 20-something crowd.
All in all, this can't be a bad thing for television. Have you even seen the other garbage put on it?
NBC's series of "The More You Know" commercials, while possibly informative to very few, simply state the obvious. Thank you for the attempt at educating us, NBC, but I already know not to give my children drugs and to tell them not to get into strangers' cars. These commercials have all been weak five-second presentations which will not have any effect on parents or children, nor will their continued use give the celebrities who appear in them any recognition as being helpful or insightful in respect to the content of the commercials. I've been seeing these presentations on NBC for over a decade now, and have yet to view one that has left any impact on how I view their subjects.
Whoever thought it was a good idea to put Kris Kardashian on this
public service announcement should be unemployed. It is insane that
anyone would think she is a viable choice to inform the public of any
issue that can offer insight or enlightenment to the general public.
These are supposed to be smart, accomplished people with something to
teach the general public. I had to immediately click to another station
as everyone started screaming when they saw it come on. And she sound
like she's reading it because we're pretty sure she doesn't actually
"know" the information.
I will never be able to take any of them serious again.
Given the recent success of mis- and dis-information, these PSA seem more relevant than ever. A review of the contributors will give the reader a good indication of the broad base of support this project enjoyed. NBC has been producing these short "commercials" since 1989. THE MORE YOU KNOW public service campaign has been a widely recognized for its excellence and has been awarded Emmy and Peabody awards. The espoused goal is to educate and raise awareness about important societal issues. The campaign has also provided valuable referral and resource information through on-air public service announcements, print materials, local community outreach efforts and programming. In a time when FOX news passes for accurate information and CNN reads Whitehouse press releases without critical examination, we NEED these messages.
Important messages of profound depth delivered in a way that caught viewers attention and opened their minds in an essential way. This was television at its most vital, educating, enlightening, and broadening the understanding of the public. Valuable commercial time was actually sacrificed by the network in order to bring information to the attention of viewers and none of them could be casually dismissed. Unfortunately, the list of contributors is woefully incomplete in the IMDb listing. For instance, significant work was done by Kathryn Erbe of Law and Order: Criminal Intent and there is simply no mention of that among the lengthy cast. She added gravitas and depth to the message she delivered and to overlook her is beyond belief.
"The More You Know" was a series of so-called public service commercials during the 90s featuring rosy propaganda that glossed over difficult social issues. Good-looking television actors were the centerpiece of the commercials, in which they gave their gleaming smiles, talked softly, and acted compassionate. The ads generally had a liberal or socialist leaning and suggested that the solution to all social problems was for everyone to just befriend each other. Also, phrases such as "Knowledge is Power" were promoted without consideration for real social and economic forces. However, this series is a good example of propaganda which today would make people cringe.

Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando
Rams left tackle Alex Barron, benched following a penalty in Week 4, played well against Vikings pass-rusher Jared Allen in Week 5.
I haven't studied the game closely yet, but Barron's performance pleased Spagnuolo.
"I thought he did a really good job," Spagnuolo told reporters Monday. "I thought Alex had one of his better games against (who) we all know a legitimate player, a real good player. But again, as a group, I thought the offensive line did a pretty good job."
The Rams finished with 400 yards and 27 first downs. Turnovers deep in Vikings teritory led to a 38-10 defeat. My sense in monitoring the game was that the Rams played better in several areas.
Barron is in the final year of his contract and I'd be somewhat surprised if the team brought him back. I would expect the Rams to move rookie Jason Smith into the lineup at left tackle before the season is finished.

I installed YARRP today for the first time. It worked fine until I changed my relatedness options and built the cache.
The full story: When I first installed the plugin, I the "compute related posts on the fly" box was checked and I did not build the cache. After viewing some posts and tweaking the display options, I changed my relatedness options. This did not change the related posts displayed for the posts I had already viewed but it did change the display for the posts I hadn't viewed. I presumed this meant that the info in the cache was not being rewritten "on the fly" nor on the occasion of my updated relatedness options. I uninstalled and reinstalled. All my custom options were retained.
I decided to go ahead and build the cache. I got a message "Your related posts cache is now complete. The SQL queries took 0.7 seconds." However, there are now NO related posts displayed on any of my posts. Further, when I click on "Show cache status", I'm told that "Your related posts cache is 0% complete."
So now I have nothing! Any insight into where I've gone wrong would be appreciated. Thanks.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, March 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan recently hosted the 6th Annual Customer Interaction Malaysia Summit on the 13 March 2014 at the DoubleTree by Hilton, Kuala Lumpur. Customer Interaction and Experience have become the buzzwords in many industry sectors today, as companies seek to differentiate themselves and evolve from being product or service focused to being customer oriented.
It is no longer sufficient to measure the customer service at the contact centre, but look at the total value chain of the customer perception from all key touch points, as well as different aspects of the customer lifecycle. This one-day summit aims to provide businesses with powerful tools to enhance their customer experience, differentiate themselves from competitors, and build roadmaps for implementing effective strategies.
"Today's contact centers are evolving rapidly from having a primary focus on voice interaction to the use of multiple channels across multiple devices. Apps are becoming the major form of engagement across a wide array of activities such as booking taxis and making payments," said Mr. Andrew Milroy, Vice President of ICT Research, Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific.
In his keynote presentation, Mr. Milroy discussed the evolution of the contact center and the implications of the Internet of Things on customer interaction.
"This is creating a situation where customers can potentially engage with organisations using many different objects or things. As more and more things become IP enabled, it will be possible to reach customers in many different ways such as via a car dashboard or a wrist band," said Mr. Milroy.
Throughout the summit, Frost & Sullivan and other the industry experts discussed how businesses can improve customer experience, the impact of big data, the benefits of Interaction Process Automation (IPA), the importance of personalization, as well as insights into customer experience in the Banking and Healthcare industries.
Presenters and participants included industry experts from Bank Simpanan Nasional, BP Healthcare, Celcom Axiata, Contact Centre Association of Malaysia, Interactive Intelligence, Jabra Asia Pacific, Standard Chartered Bank, Tenaga Nasional, and YTL Communications.
For more details on this summit email your request to [email protected] or visit http://www.frost-apac.com/ci/malaysia/.
Interactive Intelligence is a Gold Sponsor while Jabra is a Partner Sponsor. Media Partners include Business Today and Top 10 of Malaysia while Association of Customer Experience Industry of Malaysia (ACE) is a Supporting Organizations for the summit.
The inaugural 2014 Best Practices in Customer Experience awards was also held in conjunction with Frost & Sullivan's 6th Annual Customer Interaction Malaysia summit.

With so much going on in this space you could be forgiven for thinking you were always working with yesterday's technologies. So much change, so quickly. What do you do if you have to build a solution from the ground up that is expected to live in the field for at least 5-10 years?

Police seek bank robbery suspectMarch 22,2013
HARDWICK A Vermont police department said an arrest warrant has been issued for a Hardwick bank robbery suspect who is believed to be in Connecticut, where she is also suspected of a number of bank robberies.
Hardwick Police said the warrant for the arrest of 29-year-old Susan Braig was issued Thursday. She has not been taken into custody.
Hardwick Police Chief Aaron Cochran says Braig is suspected of robbing the Union Bank, on Route 15 last Sept. 6.
Cochran said he was contacted by the Connecticut State Police in January. A subsequent investigation led to the issuing of the Vermont arrest warrant.
Cochran said Braig lived for a time in Winooski, but she now lives in Connecticut. He did not know her hometown.MORE IN This Just InSARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.

Flanagan, football general manager Darren Mooney, head trainer Mark Noakes, physiotherapist Konrad Schulz and long-serving team doctor Dave Givney were all removed from their positions at the NRL club, who are under investigation by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority.
Widespread reports have suggested as many as 14 Cronulla players are under suspicion of taking banned substances.
"It is with great regret that the board has taken this course of action, but it does so given the serious nature of the management failures identified," Cronulla deputy chairman Keith Ward said.
"We make these decisions in the interest of our club going forward, in the interest of the game itself and the welfare of our playing group, which is uppermost in our minds.
"We understand that Sharks fans and all rugby league supporters will be shocked by this news, but the board determined this was the most responsible and appropriate course of action to be taken at this time."
The NRL offered its support by way of a package which included the appointment of Bruno Cullen as temporary CEO.
Cullen, a former CEO of the Brisbane Broncos, will be formally confirmed in the role pending the finalisation of terms with the Cronulla board early next week.
Former Manly and Hull coach Peter Sharp will coach Cronulla in Sunday's round one clash against the Titans at Shark Park.

Summer Programs
Summer introduces a wide variety of opportunities for students. In addition to volunteering or a job, a student can use the time to pursue a wide variety of established summer programs or camps that provide enrichment in specific areas of interest. These activities may include intensive learning in a university environment, or service and adventure programs in the country or abroad. Though these programs provide excellent enrichment for you, be certain that you are honoring your passion for a specific academic or personal interest, not your passion for admission to a particular college.
Some items to consider if you are thinking about applying to summer programs:
Before you embark on an expensive venture, read what some experts are saying about these programs.
"Don't assume that attending an academic program on a college campus will help you get into that school. The frenzy to get into such programs often rivals that of the actual college admissions process in some quarters. If you choose them, do so for personal enrichment and not to impress admissions officers at the school in question." Peter Van Buskirk, The Admissions Game.
"What we care about is that students have done something that means something to them...It's not a good idea to engage in something because the student or family believes it will augment their ability to get in." Richard Shaw, Stanford Dean of Undergraduate Admission, as quoted in Ritzy Teen Summer Programs, by Rebecca Davis O'Brien, Daily Beast, June 3, 2011.
"You don't necessarily need to spend the summer with your nose in a book, but you do need to put your summers to work by pursuing activities that display drive and initiative…Colleges are mainly looking for what we call 'angular' kids. They're not looking for well-rounded students; they're looking for well-rounded student bodies. So in order to position yourself as an angular kid, you have to highlight those one or two passions, interests, strengths and run with them." Katherine Cohen, IvyWise.

What you can expect from Chemotherapy?When a malignant tumor forms in our body, the cancerous cells spread from the original tumor so that new tumors are formed. Chemotherapy helps stop the spread of these cells in the body. The therapy can be used in a variety of ways. Curative chemotherapy aims to cure cancer completely. Whilst in other instances, the therapy can be used to make other treatments more successful, for instance, when used in conjunction with radiotherapy. Chemotherapy also helps to make conditions bearable, if the cancer has reached in an incurable, advanced stage. This is part of what is known as palliative care within chemotherapy and aims to slow the cancer's progression down whilst alleviating the patient's pain. In the treatment of cancer, sometimes a patient will undergo additional chemotherapy. This additional therapy is needed just to reduce the chances of the cancer relapse.
Whilst chemotherapy has helped scores of patients across the world to recover from cancer, the treatment itself can come with some setbacks. For example, the medications used in the therapy could not differentiate between cancerous and good cells, meaning that cells that aren't need to be attacked are destroyed. This can lead to adverse side effects, such as bacterial or viral infections, excessive tiredness and other sickness. Cancer patients also lose their hair due to adverse reactions by chemotherapeutic drugs, as the drugs potentially attack the fast-growing cells responsible for hair growth.
The side effects of chemotherapy can vary, and whilst some may find them to be mild, others may have more difficulty when undergoing them, with some finding the pain involved being extremely testing and severe. This explains why some patients opt out of the treatment, even though they knew that their lives are shortened as a result. However, once the treatment is finished, the majority of the side effects also conclude.
In terms of the future, doctors and scientists have continued to develop strategies to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy. One potential cancer treatment that has been worked is a 'smart bomb', which involves only cancerous cells being attacked and healthy cells being left alone. Meanwhile, scientists in London recently unveiled a technique involving the blockage of oxygen-sensitive enzymes and combining PHD2 inhibitors with chemotherapy to make the chemotherapy more effective whilst keeping side effects to a minimum. It is said that leaking blood vessels can be responsible for inefficiency of chemotherapy, as they prevent such medications from reaching the cancerous cells.

Council's battle against tenancy fraud highlighted in Audit Commission report
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Communities, Legal, Local Government
House Keys
A council's work in combating tenancy fraud has been highlighted in the Audit Commission's National Fraud Initiative 2011/12 report.
While some local authorities are failing to detect any cases of tenancy fraud, Harrow Council's investigators have traced swindlers in Luton, Kent, Sunderland, Leeds, and as far afield as New Zealand, Dubai and Tanzania.
While the Audit Commission has concluded that "too many councils and housing associations are doing little or nothing to detect tenancy fraud", Harrow Council has revealed nine such cases within the current financial year and ten last year.
The council has also received formal agreements to terminate four further properties within the next month. There are additionally 26 cases currently under investigation.
The council claims that its recoveries of illegally sublet social homes have saved taxpayers £162,000.
The local authority's housing management team inspects homes without warning to check who is living there and how the property is being maintained.
Spot checks are carried out at properties where the council believes there could be a problem with tenancy fraud, and are targeted through careful processing of fraud intelligence from various sources.
The council's housing manager, Karen O'Connell, said: "People who commit housing tenancy fraud have a real 'catch me if you can' attitude. They think it is too hard for councils to prove or councils don't have the time or capability of unearthing their fraud. That is simply not the case.
"They tell us 'see you in court'. They know it's illegal but they're prepared to fight tooth and nail, hoping we'll give up. But we never will.
"We are leading the way in Harrow but the cases we have successfully prosecuted are the tip of the iceberg."
In one case, following an unannounced tenancy audit, a housing fraud investigator discovered a council tenant was actually living in a house she had bought in Luton, whilst allowing a friend and her family to occupy her Harrow council property. When challenged, she initially claimed to be living at the property but when faced with overwhelming financial evidence which proved she lived in Luton, she admitted to moving there in 2005.
When the council got the keys back, it was able to give them to Miranda French. Miranda and her daughter had been on the waiting list for a council house for seven years. Miranda said it was frustrating knowing she was patiently waiting while a tenant was "taking the system for a ride".
She added: "Here's hoping they don't get away with it much longer because there are people waiting in tiny cramped properties. Knowing people with two or three-bed homes are subletting them, I find it very unfair.
"I have a home, I feel settled. It's wonderful being able to write my address and think, 'This is it, it's permanent. I can look for jobs, go to college. I can breathe now and carry on with living. I feel for the past seven years life has been on hold'."
The council's portfolio holder for performance, customer services and corporate services, Cllr Graham Henson, said: "People who commit housing tenancy fraud are preventing residents, like Miranda, who are in genuine need of housing from being allocated a property. In this exceptionally challenging financial climate there are families waiting seven years for three or four bedroom council properties and others waiting up to four years for two and one bedroom flats.
"Supporting and protecting people who are most in need is at the heart of everything that we do. Unlawfully obtaining social housing properties prevents financially vulnerable people from being housed and costs taxpayers hundreds of thousands each year through emergency accommodation costs and benefits."
In another case, a tenant was found to be living in Tanzania after being caught out by investigators who could find no trace of her being financially active. The tenant was mysteriously always on holiday and family looking after the property when audits were carried out. After discussions with the tenant via a solicitor, she agreed to hand back the tenancy as she was spending most of her time out of the UK.
Justin Phillips, the council's anti-fraud manager, added: "Fraud is a crime that is unfortunately rising throughout the UK and we take this matter extremely seriously in Harrow. Every penny stolen by fraudsters is a penny less that we can spend on front line services to protect the most vulnerable people who need our help most.
"That is why my fraud officers are driven to do the best possible job they can and stop these cheats stealing from the public purse."

If anyone could give me some feedback before I install wordpress about the following:
I currently have an active site which has a blog system. It is located at mysite.com/blogs
I was thinking about adding wordpress as a secondary blog for myself.
Taking into consideration google, yahoo, msn, etc seo would it be better to add it as a subfolder or subdomain.
Or would it really matter that much according to google and such?
I keep reading a bunch about vulnerabilities, hacks, and other security issues related to wordpress. Any thoughts on this or am I just being worried?
How easy or difficult is wordpress to really tweak in terms of layout and design, and modifications/plugins and such?
I have apache server setup as apache module not cgi or suphp, will installing this 99 any of the folders and directories?
I really don't have a lot of time to learn something complex and time consuming as my main site requires a lot of up keep with all the activity right now.
I am familiar with .css, .html, .php, mysql and anything else the average script would require.
Sorry to make this a little long. If anyone can comment on any part of this it would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to 1to1 Media — a multimedia resourcefor CRM and Customer Experience Professionals.
Videos, infographics, and other visual-based "Internet memes" are all the rage. Since one of the main purposes of social media is to minimize text or prose, these tools have forced us all to take another look at how we're expressing ourselves. The few written words still used are there primarily to entice you to check out the visual, or provide an interesting or amusing caption for that visual. The visual is now the story, which means that telling your story using visual imagery is one of the most effective ways of getting your message out.
What does this mean? That if you have not yet translated your written-word marketing and sales messages into visual storytelling assets, you are – at best – at risk of not getting your point across. A more likely scenario is that you—and the product or service you're trying to sell—will just be ignored. Even research and analyst firms that relied on mammoth whitepapers, reports, and dense, text-heavy presentations are now delivering their content in infographics and videos. (Not saying they are any good, just saying they are trying.)
You must 'wake' the brain
Your implicit goal in social media is to be thought provoking. For businesses, it's not just about tweeting your status or blogging a movie or restaurant review; it's about providing and sharing insights, ideas, and perspectives that cause prospects to want to learn more and start a conversation. Essentially, you want to cause them to reconsider what they are currently doing and start investigating ways they can do it better.
I recently read a new book called The Power of Habit. It essentially says that the decision-making part of our brain goes to sleep once it forms a routine. That's why it's so hard to break a habit. To make a change, you have to literally "wake up" this sleeping part of the brain.
The same is true when it comes to creating a social media presence that wins the competitive battle for your prospects' minds. Your number one competitor in the marketplace is the status quo—in other words, the "habit" your prospects and customers have gotten themselves into. Just like breaking a habit is really difficult to do; breaking through the status quo also requires a heavy social media lift.
This is where visual storytelling comes in. The part of the brain that actually makes a decision to change is the part that's sometimes referred to as the "old brain" or "lizard brain." It's the part of the brain you need to reach with your communications. The kicker is that this part of the brain doesn't have the capacity for language. It's most impacted by visuals—specifically by emotional content that creates a sense of contrast. This contrast is the key to helping the "old brain" make a decision.
You see, the main job of the "old brain" is to ensure your survival. It's a very simple part of the brain that makes judgment calls very quickly. It's like an on/off switch. It quickly assesses every situation to determine whether or not you are at risk. If it senses your survival may be in jeopardy, it judges the status quo as "unsafe" and seeks a "new safe."
So, if your social media content is going to break through the status quo and engage your target audience, you have to be willing to tweak the "old brain." In effect, you need to wake it up and let it know that its current status quo is no longer safe.
Make sure your visuals hit the mark
You need visual content, but not just visuals for the sake of visuals. Your visuals need to tell a story—a compelling, clear story that convinces your prospects to change. Here's a checklist to make sure your social media visual storytelling efforts target the "old brain":
1) Show your prospects how their world is changing and that going back to the way things once were is no longer an option.
2) Get them to see their outcomes and objectives are at risk if they stick with the status quo.
3) Provide insights about clear, contrasting alternatives that can move them to a "new safe."
4) Make abstract, complex solutions concrete and simple.
The last point is crucial. Many times people mistake visual storytelling for replacing words with borrowed stock photography or metaphorical imagery. While it provides great relief for the eyes, it doesn't help the "old brain" make a decision.
That's why your visuals need to be more "back of the napkin" as opposed to "presentation Zen."
Stick figures, arrows, and whimsical icons make abstract ideas more concrete and complex ideas more simplistic. When you do this, people are compelled to pay attention to what you're saying. If it's abstract, complicated, and confusing, people have an excuse not to deal with it or to stick with what they were doing before. But, if it's concrete and simple, it's more accessible and addressable, which also makes it more likely to be effective at getting the right message out to your prospects at the right time.
In closing, social media is all about getting the most information out by using the fewest words possible. That's precisely why it's become so popular—because it forces users to take advantage of visual storytelling to get their point across, which, by extension, appeals to a part of the brain that makes decisions that promote change. Grabbing their attention is the hardest part. Once you've done that successfully, you'll be in great shape to start closing those customer deals.

Get dirty, have fun and grow more food with great gardening tips from real-life gardeners.
By William Woys Weaver
root vegetables, storing vegetables, yacon
In my article, Yummy Yacon, I indicate that you can store yacon for up to eight months. A reader recently wrote in saying he's grown yacon for years, but he has trouble storing the tubers.
This is an interesting question because in my garden workshop in October, I served the 'Marada' variety of yacon, a violet-skinned, orange-fleshed yacon, from last year. Yacon are like dahlia tubers in that, under certain conditions, they wrinkle and soften (and then rot), so there seem to be mysterious temperatures and humidity levels at which they can either be lost or stored almost indefinitely (well, at least for one or two years).
The problem with yacon is that the sugars are not the same as, say, sweet potatoes, so the starch to sugar conversion, which is one problem with root storage, is very different. I have an old-fashioned cold pantry in my house, which I think keeps everything at about 40 degrees Fahrenheit; this temperature seems to work with my yacon, which are thrown loose into tubs. I get some that rot, of course, but I check every few weeks, so I cull them out. Plus, the small tubers are the first to go anyway, so I use them first in salads or other dishes.
I appreciate this reader's question because yacon is rather new to North America. It's well-known in South America for its low calories and its role in helping diabetics. Not only is storage of the crowns a problem (especially for the 'Morada' variety I like as opposed to the white-tubered ones — seems a little touch of frost helps with bud development), but storage of the tubers themselves is a separate issue. Sometimes they can be perfectly hard and crisp, then suddenly they turn. I think cool storage conditions are critical. I suggest putting them down with potatoes in a root cellar (they won't make the potatoes sprout — Inca farmers knew that), and seeing how they do.
This is an excellent topic for input from other people growing and storing yacon. Shared experiences are extremely valuable, so please post a comment below if you have suggestions for the best ways to store yacon.

Apc-Mutant Kyoto Apc Delta (KAD) Rats Are Susceptible to 4-NQO-Induced Tongue Carcinogenesis
AbstractDespite widening interest in the possible association between infection/ inflammation and cancer development, knowledge of this issue in relation to oral cancer remains inadequate. This study aimed to determine the susceptibility of Apc-mutant Kyoto Apc Delta (KAD) rats, which are vulnerable to developing inflammation-associated colorectal carcinogenesis, to 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO)-induced tongue carcinogenesis in order to clarify the role of inflammation in oral cancer. KAD (20 males and 22 females) and F344/NS1c (22 males and 23 females) rats received drinking water with or without 4-NQO (20 ppm) for eight weeks. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses of the tongue were performed at week 20. Additionally, the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines in the tongue mucosa was determined at week 8. Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) developed in the KAD and F344/NS1c rats that received 4-NQO. Regardless of gender, the incidence and multiplicity of tongue SCC were greater in the KAD rats than in the F344/NS1c rats. In addition, the multiplicity of tongue SCC in the female KAD rats was significantly greater than that observed in the male KAD (p < 0.01) and female F344/NS1c rats (p < 0.05). The levels of inflammation and the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines in the tongue in the 4-NQO-treated female KAD rats were the highest among the rats given 4-NQO. These results show that KAD rats, particularly females, are susceptible to 4-NQO-induced tongue carcinogenesis, suggesting the utility of models employing KAD rats for investigating the pathobiology of oral (tongue) carcinogenesis associated with inflammation.

Christian Hammer Will Return To Action on April 18th
By Per Ake Persson
WBO European heavyweight champion Christian Hammer, 15-3, will return to action April 18, writes EC Boxing in a press release. As for site Ceylan is leaning towards Hamburg but the event could land in Galati (Romania) as well.
As for who Hammer will fight, Ceylan states there are talks with two possible opponents.
Hammer turned pro with Universum but lost his debut due to a dislocated shoulder. He also lost two internal "eliminators" but has since joining EC won eight straight with Kevin Johnson his biggest scalp to date.

Deadline: 4:30PM, February 5, 2016
Created in 1986, The Scholarship Fund of Alexandria is a cooperative effort between Alexandria citizens and the Alexandria City Public Schools to assure financial help for Alexandria students who want to pursue college, career or technical education after high school.The Fund offers financial aid counseling and 'last dollar' scholarships to help fill the gap when all other sources of financial aid have been exhausted.The Fund also oversees commemorative 'donor-named' scholarships established to honor individuals, businesses or community organizations. Each named scholarship is governed by a separate set of criteria determined by the Fund and the donor.
Who May Apply? Graduating seniors from the T.C. Williams High School Class of 2016 who plan to enroll full time (minimum 15 credits per semester) in an accredited college, career or technical school.
All awards are based on Merit (academic record, community service, leadership, special talents or skills, participation in school and community activities, and work experience). Most awards are also based on Financial Need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Student Aid Report (SAR). The Selection Committee evaluates each application using a standard double-blind scoring sheet. Applicants with the highest total score are considered first, and are awarded the most valuable scholarship for which they are eligible.
All scholarship recipients, regardless of the original scholarship they received, are encouraged to apply for additional funds for their second, third and fourth year of post-secondary education. Successful renewal applicants are required to demonstrate financial need by submitting the FAFSA each year, and enroll full time in a college, career or technical school.
Submit the online application! You can access it through the SFA website: www.AlexScholarshipFund.org. You will create a username and password, so you can access your application to edit and update throughout the application period. You will need information from your transcript to complete the application.
You will include or upload the following information to your online application:
November 8, 2015 to February 5, 2016 - Submit ALL components of your online application. At 4:30PM on Friday, February 5, the online portal will close and you will no longer be able to update your application or make changes.
March 2016 – Application packages will be read and scored (in the blind) by a committee of 50+ citizens. Applicants are ranked by score and matched with the "best" scholarship for which they are eligible.
April 2015 - Applicants will be notified whether or not they have been selected to receive a scholarship.
Please Note: Need-based awards are intended to help fill the GAP between the cost of college attendance less any other grants and your EFC (Expected family Contribution). Students may receive up to the face amount of their award, but may not be over-awarded (i.e., receive more money than it costs to attend college).
June 1, 2016 – Awards Night – All recipients are required to attend.
July 2016 – After graduation is verified, and all documents are submitted, scholarship checks are mailed to colleges.
8:00AM to 4:30PM, Monday – Friday
