|Cake Decorating
Closed Captioned
With three illustrative projects, cake designer Kate Sullivan guides you through her favorite design-transfer and hand-painting techniques. Learn to emboss, over-pipe and paint cakes for a striking combination of color and depth. Blur the line between painting and sculpture with multi-dimensional sugarwork. Paint any pattern you desire using the pencil design-transfer technique. Plus, create a vibrant fusion of colors with the wet-in-wet, tie-dye painting method. You'll even learn to tailor your results using different styles and metallic pigments. Trends come and go, but cake art is forever. Hand paint coveted cakes with rich color and imagery using accessible techniques.
Meet your instructor, Kate Sullivan, owner of the New York studio Cake Power. Find your design inspiration, gather your tools and get ready to make three unique cakes.
Create a stamp from your chosen design with foamcore and royal icing. Pressed into fresh fondant, the stamp creates an embossed surface that adds dimension and texture to your cake--and conveniently transfers your design! Kate also demonstrates how to over-pipe and prepare the cake for painting.
The gorgeous colors of the Koi cake come to life as Kate shows you how to mix and apply paint to your fondant panels. She adds a modeling chocolate tail for extra dimension.
Breezy, bright florals highlight the Cascading Circles cake. Kate demonstrates the pencil transfer method, which enables you to add fine details to your work. She also demonstrates how to paint with metallic lusters.
Kate borrows the wet-in-wet method from watercolor painting to create the stunning Tie-Dye cake's panels of bold organic color. Add an articulated butterfly in sparkling gold to complete the cake.
"I loved this class. Not only does Kate put you at ease and tell you "you can do this," her tips and words of wisdom make it possible to achieve professional results. How impressive my next cake is going to be now that I know how to tie-dye a cake! Who knew it would be so easy to make a stencil with my favorite pattern? Kate knew and she showed me how to do it ... easily! Highly recommend and can't wait to take another one with this awesome teacher!"

Ten people have picked up petition packets from the county elections office to run for the government study commission that city leaders hope could be the precursor to home rule for Altoona.
They include a former city mayor, three city employees, a member of the Altoona Redevelopment Authority and a labor leader who served 23 years ago on the commission that recommended the city's current form of government.
Labor leader Bob Kutz was one of a minority on that earlier study commission who that thought home rule was the way to go.
"The majority wanted to try the optional plan," Kutz said Tuesday. "So we all worked together."
If he gets elected to a new study commission, he's hopeful that his prior experience would mean "some expertise from the past."
"Back then, it was confusing," he said. "There was a lot of information on a lot of different options."
Nevertheless, home rule still sounds interesting to him, he said.
City Council recently passed an ordinance calling for a study commission referendum on the primary ballot, as suggested in the city's recently approved Act 47 recovery plan.
Adoption of home rule could be the "exit plan" that city leaders were talking about even before they entered Act 47 distressed status, because among other prerogatives, it would allow for elimination of tax caps that have contributed to the city's inability to make ends meet without special help, according to the recovery plan authors.
Former Mayor Wayne Hippo once helped City Council struggle to make ends meet within those tax cap restrictions and even once said he was glad for the fiscal discipline the caps imposed.
But he's ready to get beyond that, as he considers whether to run for the commission.
"The current system always seems to be that a city can only win in Pennsylvania if it becomes good at dying slowly," Hippo said Tuesday. "It's a lousy system [that rewards] whoever can suffer through the longest - the last city standing."
There must be a better way, he said.
The study commission is "one of the few opportunities" to find a better way, he said.
Not that home rule - which gives municipalities more freedom, but still requires them to operate within rules set by the state - is a panacea, he said.
Just "potentially a better tool than what [we] have now," he said.
Ten potential candidates so far, with almost two weeks remaining for others to pick up packets and return them with 200 signatures, might set to rest city leaders' anxiety that there wouldn't be enough interest to get the commission going.
Not only must a majority of city voters say yes to a commission, but the electorate must also approve a slate of seven members in the primary.
City engineering technician Scott Campanaro - who picked up a packet along with fellow city employees Victor Curfman and Steve Michelone - got a nominating petition partly to help ensure there would be enough candidates for the commission.
He's the president of the city's non-uniformed workers union. He's active in the Boy Scouts, the Red Cross and the Blair County Tea Party and doesn't really need any more responsibilities, he said.
"But I'm not willing to let it [the commission idea] die on the vine," he said.
He was glad to hear of the good response so far.
Still, getting 200 signatures will be no small feat, said Kutz, who has accumulated 158 so far.
Two hundred is twice as many as required to run for City Council, Campanaro said.
Fortunately, there's no need to distinguish between Republican or Democratic signers, as party affiliation is irrelevant for commission members, Kutz said.
And people seem willing to sign.
Kutz has encountered no refusals in asking at union meetings, at church, in bowling alleys and when going door-to-door, he said.
Of the 10 who picked up packets, however, one probably won't qualify.
Rhonda Holland is in the process of buying another house, which is in Logan Township, and she may be living there by the primary election.
"I'm trying to get an [eligibility] determination," she said.
She wants to be on the commission because she thinks home rule would benefit the city by increasing the localization of authority.
"The closer you are to a problem, the easier it is to fix," she said. "[State] codes written a long time ago may not serve the best interests of Altoona."
She is a former Army electronic warfare signals intelligence analyst who now applies her brainpower as a consultant helping businesses with Internet marketing.
"My uniquest quality is, I'm a trained analyst," she said. "I look at every side of an issue."
Dave Duncan, CEO of Blair Medical Associates, also cited his interest in analysis.
"I see this as an analytic effort to come up with a better way to run local government," he said. "There's always a better way to do anything."
He has no preconceived ideas about what might be better, and if the current way turns out to be best, "so be it," he said.
But things tend to change, and periodic reassessment makes sense, he said.
Nancy Rose Vincent, who follows city government issues closely, sees the commission as an opportunity for a rebirth of Altoona.
"There's a good chance of a renaissance, if we don't screw it up," she said.
Also picking up packets were Julie Patosky, a Redevelopment Authority member, and Lori Crilley. Efforts to contact them were not successful.

After some serious thought, my educated guess at what the name might be comes from a couple of simple deductions.
First, the same people who own the team in Reading also own the Lehigh Valley IronPigs and the Richmond Flying Squirrels. Both are interesting names with interesting logos that do well in the marketing circles.
Second, it makes sense to name a team after some local connection. The IronPigs are named after the men who worked at the local Bethlehem Steel plant turning out a type of metal known as Pig Iron. The men who produced that metal were affectionately known as Iron Pigs and hence the name.
So, what's big in Reading?
Reading has the famous Pagoda. A landmark that was originally a restaurant and hotel and is still popular today; popular enough that the soon to be defunct uniforms had a pagoda on the sleeve. Then, there's Duryea Drive, which was used as an early testing ground for automobiles.
Of course, anyone who has ever played Monopoly is familiar with Reading Railroad. The team played off of the railroad motif with a facsimile of a steam engine in center field that lights up and shoots smoke when a Reading player hits a home run. That would be a very logical way for the team to go in rebranding their team.
With that in mind, we've got a very logical and possible name for the team. Just remember that you heard it here first; say hello to the Reading IronHorses.
Iron Horse is of course, of course, [sorry for the Mr. Ed reference] another name for a locomotive. The city has a pretty rich rail history and it would be a known entity to tie into.
How about sticking with the rail theme and going with something like the Reading Rail Hawks?
Another way to go is to tie into the BaseballTown label that the team has adopted. Something relating to baseball would be a natural pick. The Reading Black Diamonds would tie into both the railroad theme and baseball theme, thanks to the Black Diamond railroad and the shape of the infield used in the sport. What about the Flying Aces?
The team could also just go way off the local map and find something that fits well with the run of minor league team names. Something along the lines of the Flying Squirrels.
How about Flying Stallions? I've always thought that Talons would be a good nickname for a team. After all, it's the part of a raptor that is used to kill its prey.
Truth is that it's impossible to know which way the team will go for their new identity. But don't underestimate the importance of the choice. After all, people are going to be looking to buy merchandise and that demand will skyrocket if the name - and the accompanying logo - are something cool. Oh, and there's also the matter of tying in a mascot and since Reading likely leads baseball in mascots, they'll need something cool to add to their collection.
No matter what the name is, there will be baseball purists who will say they shouldn't have changed. It's just as likely that there will be fans who will absolutely love the new identity.
Guess we all just have to wait until this Saturday when the official new name is revealed.

We sing this song when we're getting ready to go to the beach. Let's go to the beach, the beachy beachy beach. Yesterday Mimi & I promised the boys an evening trip to the dunes, but the weather was turning very windy with dark skies. It just didn't look like beach weather. We tried to barter dinner at a restaurant and then ice cream or something else instead, but they had only the beach on their minds.
I really felt like it couldn't possibly work out and would even be dangerous if a storm came, but I packed all their extra clothes and towels and buckets anyway. I decided we could at least go and turn around if it was too cold and windy. The closer we got to the water, the brighter the skies and shinier the sun. It turns out where we live 20 minutes away wasn't beach weather, but the weather at the beach was perfect.
I didn't want to put down my camera so I wouldn't miss anything, but then I had to put down my camera so I wouldn't miss anything. I think everyone else stayed home like we almost did, because we had the place to ourselves except for a man flying a really cool kite and the occasional couple walking along the shore.
The sunset was amazing. The glee in my boys' faces and voices was something I hope I remember forever. I'm so glad we didn't miss this moment. Sometimes you just never know how anything is going to turn out until you get there.

Sweet and Low-Down Heels
Step lively and comfortably. Once skyscraping and sculptural, stylish shoes are taking a more down-to-earth form
ALMOST EXACTLY THREE years ago, the design duo at Valentino—Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli—surprised the crowd at their Paris runway show when they paired elegant little dresses with shoes that had heels a demure 2 inches high. Two inches, shocking? Yes, only because the prevailing heel height for fashion lovers was higher. Much higher. At that time, the norm was a sculptural and often colorful shoe, hoisted up on a slab-like platform sole to achieve the implausibly lofty reach of 6 inches or more. It was a shoe that could easily double as a weapon. Women couldn't get enough of it.
As with all things in fashion, the pendulum inevitably swung the other way. That Valentino shoe, called the Rockstud pump—a classic, pointy-toed design toughened up with gold pyramid studs—was a huge hit. In fact, it's still available and sells well. Only now it has more company, from labels like Miu Miu, Givenchy, Pierre Hardy and more. The age of the relatively sensible heel—about 3½ inches and under—is upon us.
"After so many seasons of aggressive platform shoes, these new single-sole, lower-heel silhouettes are a palate cleanser," said Anamaria Pimentel, accessories director for Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. Ms. Pimentel's favorites for this spring include a clear version of Valentino's popular pumps, smoking slippers from Manolo Blahnik and a pointy sling-back from Christian Louboutin—in a mesh motif inspired by fishnet stockings and trimmed in spiky studs—with the tiniest sliver of a heel.
Even without punky hardware, low heels—despite their associations with more staid looks—have developed a cool cachet, simply by zigging while other shoes zag. The trendsetting designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have shown the past few collections for their label the Row with flats or tiny, elegant heels, and have been wearing barely-there heels themselves. Other down-to-earth fans in the fashion world include Garage Magazine creative director Shala Monroque, Vogue Paris editor in chief and fashion director Emmanuelle Alt, Tank Magazine publisher Caroline Issa and Net-a-Porter founder Natalie Massenet.
This new turn in footwear is music to the ears of shoe designers like Milan-based Gianvito Rossi, who never cottoned to the platform. "I did not make these huge platforms for a very specific reason," said Mr. Rossi. "If you want to be a rock star on stage, wear a platform. But not if you want to be an elegant woman." Mr. Rossi said that one of his best-selling heights is just over 3 inches.
In some ways, wearing these shoes is a breeze. Compared with a six-inch stilt, their comfort factor can't be beat. Ms. Issa said she has noticed a "demure but confident spring" in her step since she started to wear kitten heels over the past year. But giving up the transformative lift of a very high heel can be difficult. "Whenever I have on my highest pair of heels—these ankle boots from Azzedine Alaïa—people ask me if I've lost weight," said New York-based stylist Tina Chai.
''After so many seasons of aggressive, platform shoes, these new lower heels are a palate cleanser.''
Switching to a lower heel partly requires a perception shift: The eye has to become accustomed to a different proportion. More concretely, the adjustment can mean hemming your trousers so they don't drag, or opting for slimmer silhouettes that are still flattering without the boost of an extra 3 or 4 inches. "A lower heel paired with cropped skinny pants and a menswear jacket is a very chic proportion," said Ms. Pimentel.
Wearing shoes that don't resemble sculpture can be an opportunity to make more of a statement with your clothes. "If you're wearing a low heel, over-the-top clothes become cool," said Bruno Magli creative director Max Kibardin, whose delicate kitten heels are his most popular style. "With high heels, [such clothes] could be a little tacky."
It's also possible that the advent of lower heels is a harbinger of happier days. Bata Shoe Museum curator Elizabeth Semmelhack noted that over the course of history, heel heights rose when the economy fell. "I was struck that high heels came about in the '30s during the Great Depression, and then there were all those crazy platforms in the '70s with the oil crisis," she said. "Was it simply the cycle of fashion or because of economic stress?" The latest obsession with ridiculously high heels coincided with the financial crisis, and is reversing as the markets recover—one more reason to buy new shoes and skip down the street.

PHILIPSBURG - Sixth-seeded Bishop Carroll and third-seeded Tyrone battled through a scoreless first half in the District 6 Class AA soccer quarterfinals Wednesday night at Philipsburg-Osceola's Memorial Field.
BC freshman goalkeeper Mitchell Hogue made sure of that by making nine saves, including on what looked to be a sure goal by the Golden Eagles.
But the Eagles finally broke through at the 22:44 mark of the second half, with junior Bailey Christine booting one past Hogue on a crossing pass in front of the goal. Alex Bartlett added a goal at the 5:59 mark to give the Eagles a 2-0 win.
It was a historic night for Tyrone (11-5-3), which earned the first playoff win since the program began in 2008.
"It feels good to finally get that first postseason win out of the way," Christine said.
"It feels amazing," first-year Tyrone coach Nick Miller said. "I really don't have the words to describe it. This is a long-time coming for Tyrone. It was a miracle we even had a soccer program. A lot of blood, sweat and tears have gone into it. The boys really played a heck of a game."
BC (8-9-2) only had one shot on Tyrone sophomore goalie Jeremy Wilson in the first half, but the Huskies made three more shots on Wilson, who recorded his eighth shutout.
The teams spent most of the first half on Bishop Carroll's side of the field, with Hogue playing heads-up in goal.
"Their goalie certainly kept them in the game," Miller said. "And they didn't let down, but we kept the pressure on them the entire game. In the first half, nothing wanted to go in. Once we scored that first goal, that's all you need. It definitely put the nail in the coffin."
"He's a good kid, and he plays well," BC coach Nick Damin said. "He keeps us in games, and he kept us in this one for awhile."
The first goal, though, came when Christine fielded a corner kick by Bartlett and sent the ball past Hogue.
"We just kept trying and trying," Christine said. "[Alex Bartlett] just sent it in, and I was just lucky enough to get a touch on it and get it to go right over the keeper's head. I was surprised he didn't get a hand on that, but it feels good."
"We still felt we had a good chance after that," Damin said. "I always preach to our guys that it's 80 minutes."
The score remained 1-0 until Alex Bartlett scored on an assist from Kyle Bartlett.
"It was a beautiful run down the right wing," Miller said.
The Eagles will now get ready to play at second-seeded P-O, a 3-0 winner over Cambria Heights, on Tuesday.
"All games are going to be tough," Christine said, "but if we keep fighting like we have been all season, I think we'll be set."

RF-Repeater Performance Assessment and Planning Guidelines for WCDMA Networks
Lähdekorpi, Panu
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation

Although repeaters have been used and studied in some extent in cellular mobile networks in the past, a clear need for comprehensive system level analysis of repeaters exists. This thesis provides a thorough assessment regarding RF-repeater system level WCDMA performance. To emphasize, the performance assessment is made from radio network planning aspect. In addition to the theoretical discussion in the field of repeaters, the thesis presents several practical guidelines that can be used in the network planning. The information given to readers in this thesis is mostly applicable for network operators, as they need to plan radio networks that provide high system capacity with limited amount of radio equipment and efficient utilization of radio resources. After the introduction part, in Chapter 2, theory of assessing repeaters and their performance in WCDMA system is presented. The assessment covers the essential repeater-related phenomena such as noise and repeater configuration related matters, which have significant impact on the system level WCDMA performance. The methods of capturing the data and analyzing the performance in system level are included in the thesis. The results from the actual research papers are summarized and discussed in the following chapter, Chapter 3, which concentrates on improving radio network performance using repeaters. The main observations from system level simulations, calculations, and measurements are discussed keeping in mind the original title of the thesis- i.e. providing the planning guidelines for repeaters in WCDMA networks. At first, capacity improvement due to repeaters serving traffic hot spots is studied by simulations and measurements. The work under the hot spot topic is extended into a journal article by performing measurements to support the findings from the simulations. In the later publications, studies related to outdoor-to-indoor repeaters and different macrocellular topologies are presented. It has been shown by measurements, how a macrocellular repeater can be effectively used to improve the WCDMA performance in a building. The repeater performance is also set against dedicated indoor base station. The studies with different macrocellular network topologies provided new information concerning the efficiency of repeater. Finally, the effects of different repeater configurations are presented by showing numerical calculation results for the varying donor antenna beam and mother base station antenna tilt. Furthermore, measurement results of different repeater antenna line configurations are shown to emphasize the importance of repeater antenna line planning.

Just off of a road win last Sunday, the Stetson women's soccer team will return to the pitch on Friday night, playing at the University of Central Florida at 7:00 p.m. in Orlando.
The Hatters (2-2-1) went 1-1 in their first road weekend of the year, falling to Georgia Southern last Friday, and defeating South Carolina State 1-0 on Sunday afternoon. Senior Amber Grose assisted on both Stetson goals on the weekend, increasing her team and conference-leading total to four for the season.
UCF (4-2-0) will be a tough out for the Hatters, as the Knights were receiving votes in the most recent NSCAA National Poll. UCF has wins over Washington, Hawaii, North Florida, and Middle Tennessee thus far, and has played just one game at home.
Friday's game will be held at the UCF Soccer Complex in Orlando. Tickets are $5 for adults, and $3 for students and seniors. Call (407) UCF-1000 for more information.
For fans unable to make it out to this weekend's contest, there will be live stats and a subscription based live video stream available on UCFKnights.com. As always, the @StetsonWSoccer Twitter feed and the Hat-Alerts text messaging service are also available for in-game updates.
• Stetson topped South Carolina State 1-0 for the team's first road victory of the season. Last year the Hatters recorded just one win away from DeLand.
• Senior Alyssa Welsh scored the lone Stetson goal against Georgia Southern, her first of the season. She is the active career leader in goals scored for Stetson with nine.
• Sophomore Rebecca Oser recorded the first assist of her career on Friday against Georgia Southern.
• Sophomore Makeshia Lucien scored the game-winner against South Carolina State, marking the first score of her career.
• Amber Grose assisted on both goals of the weekend for Stetson, increasing her team and conference-lead to four helpers on the season.
• Senior Victoria Troccoli notched her second shutout of the season on Sunday, which is second best in the A-Sun. Her 0.92 goals-against-average is also second best in the league.
• After opening the season with five straight home games – including exhibitions – the Hatters are amidst a five-game road trip. Stetson will finally return home on Sept. 27.
• UCF was receiving 21 votes in the NSCAA's Top 25 Poll released on September 10. The Knights' two losses are to Tennessee (53 votes) and #4 Florida State.
• Stetson and UCF have met 18 times in the all-time series, which dates back to the Hatters' first year of competition, 1993.
• The Knights have won every meeting between the two teams. The last time Stetson and UCF played was in 2004 when the Knights won 1-0 in DeLand.

Forum One Step toward ADT Successful Implementation
Forum One Step toward ADT Successful Implementation
While some pieces of the USDA's animal disease traceability (ADT) ruling that became effective March 11 are falling into place answering the "what," other "what" questions are arising among State and Tribal animal health officials, livestock producers, livestock marketers and handlers, fair and rodeo managers and meat processors from across the country. ADT program's next step—the "now what"—also presents challenges to those involved in the program, as the ADT program places ownership at the hands of each State and Tribe.
To that end, more than 160 industry and regulatory leaders gathered Aug. 6-7 in Denver, Colo., to address challenges, share ideas and develop practical solutions to ensure the success of the country's voluntary ADT program. The "Joint Strategy Forum on Animal Disease Traceability: Bringing Industry and Regulatory Leaders Together to Create Sensible Solutions" was developed and hosted by the U.S. Animal Health Association and the National Institute for Animal Agriculture.
More than 25 speakers and moderators from across animal agriculture provided information and insight during the Forum. Reaction breakout sessions provided participants opportunities to cite "this will work," voice concerns and challenges and increase their knowledge of the ADT ruling and their role in helping make ADT as effective and as efficient as possible.
"Animal disease traceability—or knowing where diseased and at-risk animals are, where they've been and when—is extremely important to ensure a rapid response when an animal disease event takes place," states Steve Crawford, president-elect of USAHA. "An efficient and accurate animal disease traceability system helps reduce the number of animals involved in an investigation, reduces the time needed to respond and decreases the cost to producers and the government."
Victor Velez, California Department of Food and Agriculture, Animal Health and Food Safety Services and co-chair of the Forum, adds that those in food animal agriculture have questions about ADT final rule compliance.
"We know we face bumps in the road to ensure the success of ADT, and this platform provided the opportunity to interact and learn from Federal and State government and industry leaders," Velez states.
"One goal of the Forum was to discover common ground and discuss ways collaboration can lead to 100 percent industry compliance of the ADT final rule. The dialogue was extremely robust, and definite inroads were made toward understanding the rule and moving forward with implementation."
Crawford stresses that the Forum was an important jumpstart.
"There is more talk that needs to happen going forward, and the White paper that comes from this meeting will be a useful foundation piece in the implementation of ADT nationwide," he explains. "These efforts will evolve and improve over time, with our long-term goals remaining the same—sound animal disease control and business opportunity."
A White Paper summarizing the Joint Strategy Forum on Animal Disease Traceability: Bringing Industry and Regulatory Leaders Together to Create Sensible Solutions" will be published and available online at www.animalagriculture.org by Sept. 1.
The National Institute for Animal Agriculture (NIAA) is a non-profit, membership-driven organization that unites and advances animal agriculture—the beef, dairy, equine, goats, poultry, sheep and swine industries. NIAA is dedicated to programs that work towards the eradication of diseases that pose risk to the health of animals, wildlife and humans; promote a safe and wholesome food supply for our nation and abroad; and promote best practices in environmental stewardship, animal health and well-being. NIAA's members include animal producers, veterinarians, scientists, state and federal officials, and agribusiness executives.
The United States Animal Health Association (USAHA) is a science-based, non-profit, voluntary organization. Its 1,100 members are state and federal animal health officials, national allied organizations, regional representatives and individual members.

Did a spectral Joan of Arc affect the outcome of last Saturday's game in Montreal? Was Leonard Cohen spinning a Buddhist prayer wheel while meditating on the fate of his hometown soccer team? Did Houston's players overdo it at lunch with too much bread and brie, or worse still, poutine?
Whatever the cause, the Houston Dynamo's defense, normally solid, was porous as a couscoussier in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Montreal Impact in Major League Soccer play.
The lowlight of the match for Houston was the Impact's final goal, a penalty shot by Patrice Bernier that was awarded after the Dynamo's Adam Moffat was shown a red card for a takedown of Montreal's Felipe Martins. The hosts cried foul play, the visitors cried dive and bad call. Later, Dynamo captain Brian Ching accused Impact technical director Nick De Santis of berating Moffat as the player left the field.
Houston must shake off the loss before Saturday's home game against Philadelphia. There are no must-wins in June, but with the playoff race taking shape, the Dynamo have plenty of reasons to pick up three points against the Union.
In the MLS Eastern Conference, conventional wisdom suggests that D.C. United, Sporting Kansas City and New York will take three of the conference's five playoff spots. That would leave the remaining two berths to be fought over by Chicago, Columbus, Houston, Montreal and New England – all of which are bunched together in the conference's second tier.
Following the Philadelphia match, Houston will begin July with four games against teams that lead them in the standings. The Dynamo will face Chicago, then Kansas City, then D.C., then Kansas City again. A win over Philly would help bolster Houston in advance of that stretch. It would also help clear the team's palate of the foul flavor left by its trip to Quebec.
The Dynamo expect to have Jamaican defenseman Jermaine Taylor back in the lineup against the Union. Taylor, one of Houston's best backliners, suffered a hip flexor injury against Dallas and has missed the last two games.
Houston is unbeaten (3-0-2) in MLS play at BBVA Compass Stadium.
Outisde of MLS action, the Philadelphia Union remains alive in the U.S. Open Cup tournament. Philly defeated the Harrisburg City Islanders 5-2 Tuesday and will face Sporting Kansas City in the semifinals July 11 in Chester, Pa.

Some random observations while smelling the football in the air:
n Penn State is in the midst of a strong recruiting stretch as the Nittany Lions have received an impressive 16 verbal commitments, including three highly-touted players this past week. If you'll recall a year ago at this time, the Lion verbals could be counted on one hand. Despite his latest injury, Joe Paterno plans to be around as long as possible, and the recruits apparently aren't shying away. All eyes are now on Harrisburg defensive end Noah Spence, who could elevate the Nits into a top-10 class nationally. And with an 84-year-old head coach, that is nothing short of amazing.
n Did you see where former Lion Paul Posluszny signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars for $45 million - including a $15 million signing bonus? Between his Blair County ties, the kind of kid he was to deal with at PSU and the fact that he slipped into the second round when originally drafted by Buffalo in 2007, I've never been happier for a PSU player's success.
n For those who like to dabble, the season over-unders on Penn State and Notre Dame are eight and nine wins, respectively. Pitt and West Virginia haven't been established at last check. Altoona native Tony Sinisi, formerly the director of Las Vegas Sports Consultants and now an independent oddsmaker focusing on college football, advises that PSU will be a home dog against Alabama (-8) and Nebraska (-2).
n A .500 record, if the Pirates achieve it, ought to be enough to earn Clint Hurdle the National League Manager of the Year award. Hurdle practically had the honor locked up until the recent swoon.
n The lifelong volunteerism of Tom Stout, Danny Wilson & Co. to the Kelley Federation has been impressive, but the breakdown in communications on the last day of the recent NABF Tournament was a disservice to the league's rich history and its participating teams.
n Congratulations to Lilly Conrad Chiropractic American Legion, which won its eighth Greater City Baseball League championship in the last nine years - the most incredible dynasty in any of the local recreation leagues. I would be curious on the opinions of City League vets Rege Myers, Jim Ronan, Pat Miller, Chris Glass and the Brothers Hoenstine on how Lilly would have stacked up against Thomas Chevrolet at its peak.
n The Mansion Park Summer Basketball League remains the best small-town outdoor league of its kind, over time, in America.
n There may be more great young golfers in this region than any other sport can boast. Then again, golf may be the toughest of all the professional sports to crack.

We have become a nation that believes that we can have something for nothing.
It's an economic mindset that transcends partisan politics to become the de facto guiding principle for an entire generation of lawmakers in Washington.
It's predicated on a false sense of entitlement that has so thoroughly suffused national politics that the far right has joined hands with those on the academic left in proclaiming that budget deficits and attendant national debt really don't matter to our economic wellbeing.
Article Photos
Ivory-tower Keynesian economists have long sought to explain away government debt as a natural function of monetary policy, but none have exposed it better that James K. Galbraith, who wrote recently, "Government and banks are the two entities with the power to create something from nothing."
Dick Cheney's famous decree that "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter" turned conservative economic thought upside down, especially when, during the George W. Bush administration, record budget surpluses became record budget deficits.
Together, they anchor both ends of the political spectrum with a common, almost imperialistic philosophy that holds that, because the United States has the world's leading sovereign currency, we can always somehow manipulate our economy to grow away our debt or simply print more money.
But something-for-nothing policy is failing us all and the United States' first-ever credit rating downgrade is proof.
Remember the last debt-ceiling debacle?
All Congress did was kick the can down the road to this year so they could put off the strong medicine our economy needs; meanwhile, the national debt has grown to $16.4 trillion with yet another debt-ceiling showdown pending.
Remember the Simpson-Bowles Commission? It was supposed to be the best bipartisan effort for reining in the annual budget deficit, but it failed miserably.
Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman stated recently that the problem in Washington is not fiscal discipline but the need for more government spending despite the fact that we have had not one, but two, massive rounds of quantitative easing (i.e. printing more money) for stimulating the economy and our lawmakers have been stimulating the economy every year since the financial crisis by more than a $1 trillion with annual budget deficits.
Evidently that's just not enough, as Krugman stated recently that "All that's lacking is the intellectual clarity and the political will" for more spending.
But he should be reminded that markets see it otherwise as the United States' credit rating has undergone its first-ever downgrade because of the very policies that he espouses.
For old-school economists who have long held that annual budget surpluses and a balanced budget actually make fiscal sense, it evokes a longing for the Clinton years and comparative economic prosperity.
For historians, it provides yet another chapter in economic thought that holds that profligate government spending and currency manipulation underpin false economic principles as nations ultimately cannot create something for nothing in a global economy.
In addition to the United States' credit-rating downgrade, further proof is provided on almost a daily basis by Eurozone nations Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain, whose staggering national debts threaten the very existence of the European Union.
Unable to manipulate currency markets or create more debt, Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain are faced with the economic reality of having to actually live within their means.
This is due largely to Germany taking control of the European Central Bank and instituting ordoliberal economic policies that serve as a tourniquet on sovereign debt nations.
Ordoliberalism is the antithesis of easy-money policy as it's founded on a commitment to stable currency and government regulations that accelerate free market forces - the very thing the United States needs now.
Its success contrasts a corruption of Keynesian economics by wastrel lawmakers who justify trillion dollar annual budget deficits shunted onto future generations through a crippling national debt.
Let's face it, our best and brightest are out of touch and Krugman's recent comments are proof when he stated recently, "... even if ... investors decided they don't like U.S. government debt, it can't cause a funding crisis because the U.S. government prints money."
And when asked what he would do if he were U.S. Treasury Secretary, "I'm for whatever gimmick works."
"And there is this wonderful bit about the platinum coin. In a 1997 act amended in 2000 which covers issuance of coins and stuff like that, there's one clause that says that the Secretary of the Treasury shall have the right to mint and issue platinum coins in any denomination that he so chooses."
Krugman adds, "And as far as legal scholars have been able to make out, there's no reason why the Secretary of the Treasury can't order the minting of a coin that says this coin is worth $1 trillion ... walk that coin over to the Federal Reserve ... and then the government can pay its bills by drawing on that bank account."
"And it's crazy, it's an accounting gimmick, but then this whole thing is crazy. And if that lets you bypass this nonsense about the debt limit, fine," Krugman said.
This from a Nobel Laureate in Economics who still believes that we can have something for nothing.

Two women were pistol-whipped in a home invasion robbery attempt on 19th Street, and two "persons of interest" have been identified, police said Friday.
Two black men armed with pistols forced their way onto an apartment on the 500 block of 19th Street just before 10 p.m. Thursday, demanded money and struck the women, ages 26 and 22, with the butt of their handguns, sending one to the hospital, Altoona Lt. Jeffrey Pratt said.
The 26-year-old woman's 9-year-old son was sleeping when the men entered and awoke to find one of them striking his mother with a handgun, Pratt said. The woman suffered a broken nose and three cuts to her head and face, but the 22-year-old was not injured, police said.
"One actor may have a bite mark on his hand from the [26-year-old] victim," Pratt said.
The woman bit one of the robbers after he dropped his gun and was trying to pick it up off the floor, Pratt noted.
A witness walking his dog in the neighborhood saw the men running from the home and described one of the men as being noticeably thin. The women described the men, who wore masks and had hooded sweat shirts on their heads, as having dark complexions and standing between 5 feet 9 inches to 6 feet tall.
One man used a black handgun while the other brandished a silver-colored gun, Pratt said. The women told police by the language the men used and the way they spoke that they could be from another, larger urban area.
Two men matching the description given by witnesses were stopped by police in the vicinity of the crime after officers responded, Pratt said.
One of the two men had no identification and the other was from Brooklyn, N.Y., and said they were on their way to State College to enroll at Penn State, Pratt said. They are considered "persons of interest," and the case has been assigned to city detectives.
Pratt said home invasions in Altoona are often drug-related and it's possible the two men got the wrong house when they tried to rob the women. When they demanded money, the 26-year-old told them, "I keep my money in the bank," Pratt said.

One of the more popular items for the holiday season this year will no doubt be the smartphone. Probably the most well known example of this is the iPhone 3G, the Motorola Droid is a fairly recent comer to the scene and has some very nice features.
The advertising campaign Verizon put out to compliment the launch of the Droid was fairly direct and made some less than flattering comparisons between its own 3G network and that of AT&T, the iPhone carrier network. I can attest to the AT&T network being less than stellar in a lot of respects, the dropped calls and spotty 3G coverage are widely known.

Parkland Memorial Hospital sues Texas attorney general for the fifth time, seeking to prevent release of records to The Dallas Morning News
Parkland Memorial Hospital leaders have pledged repeatedly to be more transparent in governing the taxpayer-supported institution.
But they have also sued the Texas Attorney General's Office repeatedly, challenging orders to comply with Public Information Act requests by The Dallas Morning News.
— its fifth against the AG related to the newspaper — on Monday. This time the goal is to block release of Parkland police department records dealing with the psychiatric emergency room. The News is not seeking medical records.
Last month, Parkland sued the AG over records showing
fighting a medical malpractice case.
And before that, Parkland sued the AG three other times. The records in those cases deal with matters such as:
* when the hospital's chairwoman learned that Parkland had failed a federal inspection of its patient-grievance procedures.
* problems with sterilization of medical instruments.
* a federal investigation of Medicare overcharges.
* demand and claim letters that patients' lawyers sent the hospital.

Is it lazy journalists' arbitrary way of grouping regional bands together?
Or all of the above?
I've been thinking about this an awful lot of late, because it has been all but impossible not to note some seismic shifts in our own music scene over the past 18 months or so. (More about this – much more – in the coming weeks.)
There is a desire, if not a downright human need, to group objects and ideas together under a specific rubric, as a way to understand and describe them. In the world of music, this may be even more so the case. Sometimes, this can be close to an artificial construct – "grunge," the "Seattle sound," or the "Athens, Ga., sound." There are conceptual flaws in these descriptives – does Soundgarden really sound like Screaming Trees, and do either of them really sound like Pearl Jam or King's X?
No, in a word – but the genre tags endure because they have a certain utility. Even if the artists themselves don't have much in common, we still know what someone is talking about, generally at least, if they say "the Seattle sound." Annoying, but true.
I fell deeply in love with a new band recently, and in my obsessive need to learn everything I can in short order about bands I've fallen for, I discovered that this particular quartet, known as Syd Arthur, is widely held to be emblematic of "the Canterbury sound." That small-ish city in the southeast corner of England is, in popular parlance, said to be the home of an identifiable strain of progressive music, much of it boasting elements of jazz improvisation and folk instrumentation.
Here's how ProgArchive.com defines "the Canterbury sound:" "Most bands [in the genre] will be found employing a clever fusion of rock rhythms and jazz improvisation with intellectual songwriting and varying strengths of psychedelia," which is groovy and all, but might just as easily describe tenets of the contemporary American jam-band scene.
Perhaps a simple listing of the bands involved offers a more accurate snapshot: Soft Machine, Gong, Caravan, National Health, and Egg number among them. All of these bands emerged from post-"Sgt. Pepper" England to create brave, adventurous, often virtuosic music. They sound only vaguely like each other, though you can indeed tell that they emerged from a specific milieu.
Syd Arthur, by comparison, sounds a little bit like each of these bands, but in reality, the group's appeal for me lies in the unique way its members interpret their influences. Listening to the band's full-length debut, "On and On" – out now and available through Amazon and iTunes, or through SydArthur.co.uk – one is immediately struck by the unusual grooves, unexpected time signatures, the astute musicianship, the use of electric violin and amplified mandolin in conjunction with more standard rock instrumentation.
This description might fit any number of modern prog-rock bands, and indeed, fans of those bands have already glommed onto Syd Arthur. (The band's profile may also have been accelerated by the fact that violinist/mandolin player Raven Bush is the nephew of alternative music icon Kate Bush.)
Yet, tossing this group into the company of, say, Flower Kings or Spock's Beard doesn't make all that much sense. Syd Arthur's music is song-centered, and even if "On and On" boasts the flow of epic songwriting, it is not packed with 15-minute, multipart mini-symphonies. That oft-cited "English whimsy" said to be emblematic of the Canterbury sound isn't really a part of the mix, either.
As befitting the band's name – which I'm assuming is a tongue-in-cheek nod to "Siddhartha," by Hermann Hesse or Siddhartha Gautama, the man who would become the Buddha – Syd Arthur's sound conjures a general image of spiritual searching through the contrasting of restless musical motifs and more languorous, spaced-out and trippy movements. I hear in this sound a commingling of jam-band/prog-rock from this side of the pond, and the more pastoral, relaxed and blissed-out vibes of early (late '60s) English progressive music.
Most significantly, there's plenty of contemporary alt-rock in the sound, too. Fans of newer bands like Black Mountain, Tame Impala, White Hills, Wolf People and Gnod should find the more musical and musicianly strain of psychedelia and "stoner rock" that Syd Arthur conjures attractive.
Is this sound specifically a byproduct of the guys in Syd Arthur having grown up in Canterbury, in the shadow of Soft Machine, Gong and the like? Who knows? Does it matter? You tell me.

I thought this discussion deserves it's own topic. Which players will get bought out if buying out a players contract is a provision in the next CBA?
I'll start with what I think is an obvious one:
Luongo (Vancouver)
Well documented that Luongo is willing to leave Vancouver and that they are also willing to part with him.

BELLWOOD - Jamie Forshey is living a dream.
She always wanted to teach and coach basketball - at Bellwood-Antis.
"It was a dream of mine to graduate from college and to return here, I always wanted to be a basketball coach here as well. That was the goal when I entered the program at Susquehanna [University]. I was fortunate to achieve that goal," said Forshey, a 1985 Bellwood-Antis and 1989 Susquehanna graduate. "I had a real good experience here academically and athletically. I wanted to give back for what I received."

Teacher Jamie Forshey sits with students (from left to right) Stephanie Mills, 13, Abby Luensmann, 13, and Alivia Halvorsen, 14 at the Bellwood-Antis Middle School.
Forshey was a standout basketball player at Bellwood-Antis under coach Sue Kovensky, who Forshey said had a great influence on her life and career.
The others were second grade teacher Molly Goldstein, fifth grade teacher Bill Killian and the late Altoona Area High School basketball coach John Swogger.
"When I think of Jamie Forshey, I immediately think of the words tenaciousness and indefatigable determination and unwavering dedication to the teaching field. She bought into my plans as a player for our basketball team, and we built around her," Kovensky said. "Jamie possesses the 'it' factor that few people have as they walk through the journey of life. She is able to rise to any occasion, while elevating the talents and abilities of her teammates and colleagues."
After graduating from college, Forshey was hired as a sixth grade teacher and in 2008 became the district's instructional technology coach in 2008.
Some years the technology position has been full-time and other years part-time. This year it is part-time as Forshey also teaches language arts to sixth graders, computer classes in the middle school and multi-media classes in the high school.
"Ever since I began teaching I had a knack for technology. I was always incorporating it into the classroom. The position was offered to me, and I accepted," Forshey said. "My interests shifted. I wanted to be around education but work in instructional technology."
In 2005, Forshey won the Pennsylvania Department of Education Keystone Technology Integrator Award.
She is most proud of developing the middle school technology club.
"I have the opportunity to work with a group of students and teach them the technology and digital skills they need to thrive in this society," Forshey said.
The technology club is in charge of the morning announcements program at the school. They also produce slides, videos and take pictures of current events in the school.
"They do a nice job of acknowledging the students' achievements at the middle school and at the elementary and high school levels as well. The neat thing is in highlighting achievements. They have a tool box of tech tools to create and develop things," Forshey said.
Don Wagner, middle school principal, said Forshey plays a key role in the district.
"Jamie is truly dedicated to teaching and integrating technology into the Bellwood-Antis School District curriculum. She has shown outstanding creativity in using technology to engage students in all curriculum areas," Wagner said. "Jamie is hard-working, creative and intelligent. When she focuses those qualities on achieving a goal, there is no stopping her."
Forshey admits keeping up with technology is a challenge.
"Even though I am very diligent, staying up to date with all of the changes is a challenge," Forshey said. "You need to read, learn more tools and give the students the best that is out there."
Forshey recently received an award from Education Technology Services for the 2012 Best New Blog - "EduTech for Teachers - Cool Tools for the 21st Century Classroom."
"I give reviews of web tools, resources and web sites for teachers to use to enhance learning. I also highlight digital projects I complete with students and show how I went about doing them and how you can replicate it for your classroom," Forshey said. "I spend a lot of time working on my blog. I had a professional goal to do a blog and it became a reality. It has become a passion writing and sharing ideas with others."
Forshey also enjoyed her stint as a basketball coach.
She coached the junior high girls two different times. She served as Teri Harpster's assistant when the Bellwood-Antis girls advanced to the PIAA Class AA state championship game in 1990. She served as head coach for two years 2000-01 and 2001-02, compiling a record of 41-16 and twice was named Juniata Valley League coach of the year.
"They were nice," she said. "I wasn't about awards. It was more important for my team to win, achieve and succeed as opposed to any accolades I could win."
She resigned as coach to obtain an administrative degree and further her education in the area of technology.
"I do miss it. I miss working with the athletes, I miss the competition of sports and being part of a program with a lot of pride and tradition," Forshey said.
Forshey also has her principal's certification.
"I have my sights set on being a technology specialist," she said. "I have no other plans. I can see myself finishing my career in the technology field, hopefully here."

MORGANTOWN - It had to be a huge surprise to most National Football League followers that Bruce Irvin was taken as the 15th overall selection of the 2012 draft.
Some questioned whether the 6-foot-3, 236-pound West Virginia University defensive end would even be a first-round pick. That's because of off-the-field problems.
As recent as last month, after his impressive performance in predraft Pro Day showings before NFL scouts, the Atlanta-area native was arrested in Morgantown for disorderly conduct and destruction of property in the wee hours of the morning.

The Seattle Seahawks also were aware of the fact he was arrested and spent time in jail as he was growing up. But they obviously decided to take a chance on the extremely talented player.
Now it's up to Irvin to prove that he's a changed man and that bad behavior is behind him forever.
In a conference call from New York, even Irvin admitted that it was something of a shock that he was picked that high and by Seattle.
He said he was expecting to go "in the late first round, like 30-something." He hadn't visited Seattle and never worked out privately for the Seahawks.
No one from that franchise had contacted him since the NFL combine in February.
"That's what really shocked me, because I didn't think they were really interested," he said. "This pick just shocked me, man.
"I can't believe. I'm just astonished right now."
I most certainly wish the young man well. Surely, longtime, loyal WVU football fans hope he does well, too.
Irvin attended not one, but two junior colleges before coming to West Virginia, where he excelled as a quarterback sacker two years under coach Bill Kirelawich.
As a standout on the defensive line in 2010 and 2011, he played in all 26 games, made 61 tackles and was credited with 22 sacks.
You might say that Irvin not only was good - really good - but also lucky - very lucky.
Pete Carroll, Seattle's coach, knew about him when Irvin was attending Mt. San Antonio Community College and he obviously had a huge say in picking the terrific pass-rusher.
Carroll recalled that he tried to recruit Irvin for the University of Southern California when he was coaching at the institution.
Irvin is projected as an outside linebacker/defensive end by the Seahawks.
"He's got extraordinary speed and tremendous flexibility, great instincts and a great motor," Carroll said. "He has all the things that make up a great pass-rusher.
"This is the kind of guy that puts fear in offensive tacklers. They've got to get off with him because he's just so fast."
The coach pointed out that Irvin runs the 40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds and Carroll believes he's been clocked at even faster than that.
"This is a rare guy, a rare chance to get a guy like this," Carroll concluded. "You just don't see many of them, so we're really thrilled about this."
Irvin is expected to sign with Seattle for a few million dollars.
He is only the ninth former WVU football star to be a first-round selection in the NFL.
The others were:
Joe Styadar, T, Chicago Bears, 1936
Joe Morconi, FB, Los Angeles Rams, 1956
Chuck Howley, OG, Chicago Bears, 1958
Dick Leftridge, FB, Pittsburgh Steelers, 1966
Bryan Jozwiak, OT, Kansas City Chiefs, 1986
Renaldo Turnbull, DE, New Orleans Saints, 1990
Anthony Becht, TE, New York Jets, 2000
Adam "Pacman" Jones, DB , Tennessee Titans, 2005

COLUMBIA — The tiny tissue grafts inside Marcus Lattimore's right knee are what will determine, above all else, if he is ever an elite running back again.
Yet in the six months, to the day, between his serious knee injury in a game against Tennessee and Saturday, when he was drafted in the fourth round by the San Francisco 49ers, his seemingly unwavering optimism played no small role in him moving past the scar on the front of his knee.
His positive outlook during hours of rehabilitation leading up to the NFL draft came from his own personality, to be sure, but also from outside influences he sought, and those who found him in the days after a gruesome scene in which he dislocated his knee and tore three of its four major ligaments: the anterior cruciate, lateral collateral and posterior cruciate.
Lattimore, a former South Carolina running back, leaned on friends who visited him and his strong Christian faith — both of which have always been linchpins of his life. But there were also new voices of hope, like NFL running backs Willis McGahee and Frank Gore. Lattimore had never met either. But they both knew him, in a way. They spoke with him on the phone in his dark days after the injury, when he wondered if he would ever be the same player again.
"Right after it happened, I doubted myself," Lattimore said. "I did do that, and I lost hope."
Lattimore went 30 spots behind USC wide receiver Ace Sanders (Jacksonville) and one spot ahead of defensive end Devin Taylor (Detroit). Two rounds later, outside linebacker DeVonte Holloman went to Dallas with the sixth round's 17th pick. Center T.J. Johnson was picked by Cincinnati with the draft's fourth-to-last selection. Tight end Justice Cunningham went last overall.
The Clemson players selected Saturday were defensive end Malliciah Goodman (fourth round, Atlanta); safety Jonathan Meeks (fifth, Buffalo); and running back and former Berkeley High standout Andre Ellington (sixth, Arizona).
McGahee tore three knee ligaments in his final college game at Miami, but has run for 8,097 yards and 63 touchdowns in nine NFL seasons. Gore, who also played at Miami, tore his left ACL in 2002 and his right ACL in 2003. A third-round pick in 2005, he has 8,839 yards and 51 touchdowns, and has made the Pro Bowl four times.
"Those guys are all inspirations to me because of what they've been through and how they came through it," Lattimore said on a teleconference.
"(Gore) just told me to keep that positive mindset, and that's what I've been doing these past five, six months. I feel like that's why I'm doing so great with my rehab."
Lattimore can thank Gore in person for his guidance, because they will be teammates in San Francisco, on a team that made the NFC championship game two years ago and the Super Bowl last season.
The 49ers are plenty deep at running back, with Kendall Hunter and LaMichael James backing up the 29-year-old Gore, after being drafted in 2011 and 2012. Lattimore has expressed hope that he could play next season, but the 49ers obviously don't need him to.
"We're not going to put him on the field until he's 100 percent, and that may not be this year," said San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh.
But Harbaugh is excited about Lattimore's eagerness and talent. If not for last season's injury, which came after he returned from a torn left ACL suffered in 2011, most analysts believe Lattimore would have been the first running back taken in this year's draft. In just 30 career games at USC, essentially two and a half seasons, he ran for 38 touchdowns, a school record.
"You don't come across this kind of person very often," Harbaugh said.
Once Lattimore slipped to the draft's third and final day, it was almost academic where he would be picked, as long as he was.
A late first-round pick gets about a $7.5 million contract, including a signing bonus around $4 million. When Lattimore went down against Tennessee in October, the possibility of him getting a lucrative first contract vanished.
As the 34th pick of the fourth round, 131st overall, Lattimore will get about what that pick reportedly received last year — a $2.4 million deal, with the only guaranteed money being a $300,584 signing bonus, included in the value of the contract.
While Meeks was one of Saturday's stunners, because he was not expected to get drafted, Lattimore was probably the day's most fascinating player. Not because of his draft position or the guaranteed money that his injury cost him, but because of what comes next — the chance to prove he can rebuild his career, just like Gore did.
Gore went from at third-round pick to signing a four-year, $28 million extension in 2007, with about $14 million guaranteed. At February's NFL combine, Lattimore likened his playing style to Gore's. Lattimore is 5-11 and 221 pounds, Gore 5-9 and 217 pounds.
"He runs like nobody's there," Lattimore said. "He runs with total destruction."
On Saturday, when one difficult process in Lattimore's comeback dovetailed into another, it was a comparison he happily embraced again.
"He can catch the ball," Lattimore said. "I feel like I catch the ball well. He can pass protect. He's an all-around back. That's what I'm trying to emulate my style off, because with his success, there's no question that it works."

EAST LONDON, the second-largest city in the Eastern Cape, is the obvious jumping-off point for exploring the Transkei. But without fine, warm weather, the city is dreary. What does happen takes place along the beachfront, where there's a plethora of places to stay, eat and drink. Nahoon Beach is a great surfing spot, and the town has a dedicated and lively surfing scene. It's also gradually becoming a place for black holidaymakers – a post-apartheid phenomenon. The beaches to the east of town are very beautiful, with long stretches of sand, high dunes, estuaries and luxuriant vegetation, and good swimming.
East London's drab city centre is dominated by Oxford Street, parallel to Station Street and the train station. Although a major traffic thoroughfare, it is largely deserted at night, when you shouldn't wander around alone. The newly upgraded Vincent Park Centre on Devereux Avenue is a popular shopping centre with cinemas and restaurants. It is 5km north of the city centre (leave the centre on Oxford St, and turn right into Devereux just beyond the museum), in the midst of the salubrious suburbs of Vincent and Stirling. This is the best place for shopping, or to find anything practical such as banks and the post office. Apart from a couple of handsome buildings, East London's Victorian heart has progressively been demolished, though the city centre's principal landmark, the splendid terracotta and lace-white City Hall, opened in 1899, remains. Over the road is a rather lifeless statue of martyred Black Consciousness leader Steve Biko.
Away from the holiday strip, East London is dominated by an industrial centre served by Mdantsane, a huge African township 20km from the city towards King William's Town.

mary jo evans says
hi, I was just saving some of your recipes when I came upon this one. I've made it many times. it was a recipe I learned when I was In the Brownies in the early 50's. only we did potato wedges & milk. that was back in the days when the milk was in bottles & the top 2 inches was the cream, so you either skimmed it off for desserts on Sunday or shook it into the milk. we skimmed so mom could make whipped cream for pie. in the brownies we were on a day field trip & we made these potatoes, corn cobs the same way & hot dogs & burgers on the grill. this was in billings park in Superior, Wisconsin. thank you for the wonderful memories that went with this recipe. have a great day!
