Would her erstwhile Charlie's Angels fans weep, her parents shudder, the Moral Majority hurl invective at the screen? Would Making Love, the controversial new film in which husband Michael Ontkean leaves her for Harry Hamlin, tarnish her halo? Absolutely! That's one reason Kate Jackson, always tagged as the "smart" Angel, accepted it. "I was turning into a comic strip," she says of her TV fame. Now her career gamble is paying off. Even critics who find the script shallow have hailed Making Love as a breakthrough film that treats homosexuality in a mature fashion, and most were pleased by Kate's performance. "I'm now starting to hear things about my acting I've always dreamed of hearing," she enthuses. "People tell me I've grown up."
At 33, the coltish Kate has certainly grown professionally: She's the first Angel to successfully make the perilous leap to film. Against all odds, Making Love is a box office hit, playing well across the country and not just in large cities with substantial homosexual populations. Kate thinks the film's avoidance of the S&M subculture (the focus of 1980's Cruising, with Al Pacino) legitimizes the subject. "It's not a soapbox film that says, 'Be gay, it's best,' " Kate points out. "It's not meant to change anyone's basic beliefs."
Jackson claims, however, that the film made her more aware. "To be gay is not to be bad," says the onetime Southern belle. While growing up in Birmingham, Ala. she "believed that all homosexuals lived in New York." Expecting resistance from her parents, she gently broke the news of the film's plot to her mother, who astonished her by mentioning a hometown couple who had the same experience as the movie's characters. Says Kate: "I figured if it could happen in Birmingham, it could happen anywhere."
That's as close as she has come to such an unusual triangle, but Jackson knows the pain of a failed marriage. She was in the process of divorcing actor Andrew (Code Red) Stevens, her husband of three years, when Making Love began filming. "My emotions were easy to tap," says Kate. She pretended in her marriage too. "The union lasted as long as it did," Kate explains, "because intellectually you know it's over long before you face it emotionally."
Kate and Andrew, six years her junior, had married hastily (after a six-week courtship) and secretly (at the home of James Taylor and Carly Simon on Martha's Vineyard) in August 1978. She tried to overlook the age difference. "But sometimes I wanted to say: 'Wait until you're a little older and you'll understand,' " she remembers. Competition didn't help either. Kate was always the more bankable star. After leaving Charlie's Angels in 1979, she and Stevens produced and co-starred in a TV remake of Topper that got reviews like those of Heaven's Gate. Jackson says her marriage was just as much a disaster. "It was a mistake and I corrected it," she explains. "We found we were not really friends. And if you're not friends, you don't have a prayer. That's why we're not friends now, because we never were."
Even before her divorce became final last July, Kate had been adjusting to life alone. "It was scary at first, and hard," she admits. Her life previously had been a well-organized whirlwind. Shortly after arriving in New York at age 19, she won a nine-month stint on daytime TV's Dark Shadows, then hit Hollywood with four years on The Rookies, followed immediately by three years on Charlie's Angels. Every hour of her day was accounted for. Leaving the Angels (" 'I quit.' 'You can't quit, you're fired,' " is Kate's version of her conversation with the producers) was the turning point. The jiggle grind had forced her to lose Kramer vs. Kramer to Meryl Streep and left her with frazzled nerves. "It's temperament, not temper," she defends. "Not being able to do my best leaves me frustrated and angry."
Post-Charlie, Kate "wanted to sort of disappear so I could come back later and it would be like starting fresh." A quicky movie, Dirty Tricks, didn't help, but Making Love and a recent appearance onstage in L.A. in Key Exchange have provided the needed career adrenaline. She's just finished a fall TV special about a bike tour in China and plans to be co-executive producer and star of a feature film about a blind woman photographer for her own production company. "I've taken care of my money, so I can be selective," Kate notes. "I won't do anything I don't just love."
Straightening out her personal life continues. The Beverly Hills home she and Stevens bought in 1980 is now on the market for just under $1 million. "The house is a loose end left over from the marriage," says Kate. "I'm uncomfortable in it." In fact, she's hardly lived in the four-bedroom mini-mansion since the split, preferring several rentals. Kate shuns the big Hollywood party scene. Her Mercedes 450 SL has been driven only 24,000 miles since 1976. "I lead a sheltered life," she says. For fun, she skis near Park City, Utah (where she also has a home), takes portrait photos of friends, or lugs her video camera out to tape her favored subjects—old folks in Santa Monica. She prefers places where she isn't recognized. "I don't like to be grabbed and pulled," she says. "It scares me."
What doesn't scare her, surprisingly, is another trip to the altar. "I do believe in marriage and the family unit, in having that source of strength," she says. Right now there's just "a guy here" (writer-producer Tom Mankiewicz) and "a guy in New York" (a businessman who works in his family's color-pigment firm). "I'm not ready to make a commitment," cautions Jackson, but she wants children. "If I couldn't have one, I'd adopt—a little person, not a baby."
Along those lines, former Angel and new mother Jaclyn Smith, 35, remains a close pal. A new friend is Sherry Lansing, 39, head of production at 20th Century-Fox, the outfit behind Making Love. "I'm crazy about her," raves Lansing, the only female major studio chief. "There are not too many women I can talk to about the loneliness we sometimes feel, the ups and downs." For Kate, dealing with those pressures is part of the maturation process. "From the time I was 5, when I started school, till I was 30,1 was told what to do. The pattern was never broken. Now it has been," she says, smiling. "I think that's why I've grown up."

The Erie Otters completed their coaching staff today with the addition of Cam MacDonald as full-time goaltending coach.
MacDonald, 36, was a special consultant for the Otters in the 2012-13 Ontario Hockey League season while working with the Central Hockey League's Allen Americans. He spent the previous season with the Sioux Falls Stampede of the United States Hockey League. He also has worked with Ian Clark, goaltending coach of the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets.
The Otters also filled two other positions, with Aaron Cooney joining the staff as director of broadcasting and media relations and Kevin Putzig taking over as equipment manager.
Cooney, 23, a Point Park University graduate, was an intern for the Pittsburgh Penguins Radio Network this past season. He also spent six months with Pittsburgh's Sports Radio 93.7 The Fan.
Putzig joins the Otters after spending the past few seasons with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, the New York Islanders' AHL affiliate. He worked last season alongside former Otters head athletic trainer David Stickney, who holds the same position for the Sound Tigers.

Not this guy. NAGR has been in operation since about 2002. NAGR made no monetary donations to candidates until 2010. NAGR and its self serving owner Dudley Brown are a joke.
Contributions to political candidates by gun rights organizations in 2010:
1. The NRA
2. An organization many gunowners have never heard of.
Last. NAGR

Recently, this thread on AR15.com popped up in which a poster accused the National Association of Gun Rights of lying about the current law in order to generate money for the organization (http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1269051_Scam_being_run_by_the_National_Association_for_Gun_Rights.html&page=1).
The letter went like this:
Im in a bind.
Its illegal for me to tell you which candidates the National Association for Gun Rights PAC supports. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Federal Election Commission (FEC) expressly forbid me from telling you which candidates are so solid on gun rights that I want you to help us help them.
It sounds crazy, I know.
But the anti-gun Obamacrats who run the federal government dont want gun owners and activists like you and me to be organized going into the 2012 election.
Thats why the IRS/FEC will only let me tell a restricted class of legal members of the National Association for Gun Rights who they should and shouldnt support in the election.
The good news is, Ive found a loophole around their legal gag, and frankly its pretty easy.
All you need to do is chip in at least $5 (or more), and take a positive pro-gun action, and you can then be counted as part of our legal membership.
Mr. Brown gives his response in the thread and I found it lacking in a great many respects. Since his alerts regularly get reposted to this forum and the organization has been discussed several times in the past, I thought it would be worthwhile to share the AR15.com thread so other Second Amendment supporters can form their own opinion of the organization and decide whether it warrants their support.
December 28, 2011, 05:31 PM
Yep, Dudley Brown stirred it up on that forum. Every gun rights organization out there backs candidates for political office.
IMO: Dudley Brown is a self serving shyster whos made a career of bashing the NRA. Beware of any so called "gun rights" organization that has a "donate now" on its homepage. Brown finally made a very small monetary contribution to our gun rights in 2010. It's much too small to show up on this chart:

+1. My email address got sold and I got his email for awhile. Blatant fearmongering for cash. The NRA sometimes is guilty of that, but at least they DO something with the money.
Oh, and as someone FROM Wyoming, he severely oversells his work on Constitutional Carry here. It was never an uphill battle, and I never even heard his name until I saw him in the signing picture.
HOLY COW. I just read that whole thread on AR-15 where, for pages, he refused to even address an outright lie in his fundraising email.
Any doubts I had about his lack of scruples are gone.

I'm a newbie to THR. I have a somewhat different take on the issues discussed in this thread. I've never met Mr. Brown. I have no idea what his motives are. NAGR is not directly involved in Wyoming gun rights issues.
Wyoming Gun Owners Association, which has a loose association with NAGR, was the organization responsible for putting the pressure on Wyoming legislators to enact the Wyoming FFA in 2010 and the license-free concealed carry law (Constitutional carry) in 2011. GOA and the NRA were missing in action in each of those legislative battles.

Dudley Brown's War
Hes built RMGO and the National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) into a double-barreled fund-raising machine that bullies anyone who compromises Browns pro-gun, anti-abortion, anti-gay agenda. (A favorite showy tactic is driving around in a Pinzgauer, a boxy, big-wheeled Cold Warera Austrian troop truck that Brown calls his political pain delivery vehicle.) Says former state Representative B.J. Nikkel, a Larimer County Republican who ran afoul of Brown last year after she voted for civil unions legislation: Hes a political terrorist and a modern-day charlatan who operates in the shadows and portrays himself as a supposed Christian, but he uses the people naive enough to believe him and financially support him.
Hes also a primary, if almost unrecognized, reason why Democrats, in a little less than a decade, have turned this once-red state a deepening shade of blue.
It turns out this modern-day Machiavelli amasses more influence and income when his party loses than when it wins. By taking out moderate Republicans in primary races, hes left the GOP with fewer officeholders . . . . . . As Democratic majorities at the state Capitol pass more progressive laws, Browns members have begun to literally hit a panic button: the contribute links in his organizations near-constant emails. Its created a golden opportunity for Brownand maybe for Democrats, too. Progressive activist Ted Trimpa, an architect of the Colorado Democracy Alliance, says Browns nefarious ways have aided his causes . . .
[Brown] wants us in the minority, says Nicolais, now a Republican candidate for one of the more competitive state Senate seats in 2014. For him, its mostly about a mailing list. Thats because whenever he watches a pet issue flame out, Brown knows hes won: Consider that in the several months it took the gun control bills to go from Democratic proposals to law, the NAGRs membership numbers exploded. Suddenly, the cash is rolling into Browns office faster than his interns can count it, so anyone who concludes he lost because the bills he opposed were passed may simply be looking at the wrong scoreboard.
NAGR's local affiliate organization here in Georgia is called Georgia Gun Owners or GGO for short. They are not doing Georgians any favors here either with regards to helping us regain/expand our carry rights.

anyone know/heard of "The National Association For Gun Rights" ..?? got a mail out asking for a "contribution" ....thanks
August 18, 2013, 10:47 AM
Get their stuff all the time. I have not sent a contribution because I prefer to focus on the NRA which I know gets results. Not sure what the NAGR has actually achieved. Same with GOA (Gun Owners of America )

August 18, 2013, 03:18 PM
Not sure I follow the logic in that article, of course when a special interest group's special interest is threatened the members pony up more cash :scrutiny:
That's how they all work, right? The difference with the NAGR is that they've been caught routinely lying about the state of things, making unfounded alarmist proclamations, and supporting a litany of causes that have nothing to do with firearms as a way to rope in more donors. That last point is the real reason we should avoid them like the plague. And the next point is because they haven't accomplished much (compared with real advocacy organizations) besides annoy and harass people on their mailing list.
Any organization "grows by leaps and bounds" when its issue is threatened and there is a true public desire to defend it. Advocacy groups don't (and never) do "reverse psychology" and actively help the opposition --word would get out, and besides, they don't need to. The NRA or the Brady Campaign or anyone else can always demand more if they win, and beg and plead for more support if they lose. It's the way of things, and the best way to determine if a policy issue has more public support than rejection. The NRA has shown time and again that they make far more efficient use of donor's money than other "similar" organizations like NAGR purports to be.

Apparently his favorite tactic is to run third party candidates against you of you don't sponsor his bills. These third party candidates can siphon off enough votes to get the Democrat elected in tight races.
August 19, 2013, 08:49 AM
Another perspective on the same issue.
Hollow Rhetoric versus Measurable Results in the War on Guns (http://hareforcolorado.blogspot.com/2013/04/hollow-rhetoric-versus-measurable.html?m=1)
NRA-ILAs legislative victory stands in sharp contrast to what happened here in Colorado in March, where a flood a draconian gun control bills sailed through the Colorado legislature, and swiftly were signed into law by the Governor. So, how did two legislative battles so similar in substance, have such markedly different outcomes?
One could sum it up in two words; Dudley Brown.
. . . we know a little more about where Brown has been directing RMGOs money, time, and energy over the years. Heres a hint: it hasnt been spent defending the Second Amendment.
Apparently, Mr. Brown has been (for many years) using third-party front groups that claim to represent hot-button social issues (like abortion and gay marriage), but in reality, are little more than direct mail operations designed to punish Mr. Browns opponents. When voters receive these last-minute attack mailers they get the impression that the candidate in question (whichever candidate Mr. Brown opposes at the time) are also opposed by a wide spectrum of other conservative groups. The mailers are often completely false, as with my own legislative race, where Dudleys Beltway minions sent pieces that claimed that I was pro-gay rights and soft on Pro-Life issues. Anyone that knows me, knows these claims are laughable. But by then, the damage has been done.
I use the term front group intentionally because there is little evidence these groups do anything except serve as a sort of ideological back channel, for operators like Brown. These groups have no real influence of their own (at either the state or federal level), they produce no publications of any substance (either in the policy or legislative arena), and their money (and direction) comes primarily from other conservative groups seeking to use them as cover for their electioneering (excuse me voter education) activities.
August 19, 2013, 09:54 AM
Yup. That thread is quoted in the thread I linked.
August 19, 2013, 01:31 PM
I'm going to assume that the current interest is due to fundraising efforts on their part. We've had topics on them before the current group and the story on them never gets any better.
August 20, 2013, 06:37 PM
The current interest in NGAR and their Georgia state affiliate, Georgia Gun Owners (GGO) doesn't really come down to their fundraising.
It has to do with their "Confrontational Politics" that they engage in. It is getting them nowhere with regards to helping pass significant pro gun legislation.
They have been making a mess of policy making for pro gun legislation since 2010. They aren't trying to work with anyone at the Capitol. They just like to rile up their masses through half truth email blast.
The Legislators hold them in very low regard. It's more complicated and detailed than this, but that's the Big Picture...........so they say.

Since this is kind of the "catch-all" NAGR thread, I thought I would post this link to several of Colorado's Basic Freedom Defense Fund founders discussing Rocky Mountain Gun Owners/NAGR/Dudley Brown: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1534855_Dudley_Brown_and_RMGO_soliciting_contributions_for_a_lawsuitr_in_Colorado.html
Short version: They did not have nice things to say. Had they followed the advice Brown they say gave them, John Morse would have never been recalled.
January 16, 2014, 04:49 PM
I've been getting "Your Membership Has Expired" emails from RMGO (Mr. Brown's Colorado group).. Pretty irritating because I am a Life Member..
Having said that, I was always a fan of RMGO when i lived in Colorado, I believe it is a good thing to support a State gun rights group. The whole "gun drama" (all dem laws and later the recalls) happened after I left. But following it from a distance, i am not impressed with the effort RMGO put into that whole episode.
I always liked their marketplace site though.

Dense, suave and very dry, with penetrating cut to the cool flavors of minerals, nectarine and flowers. This classic Clos is most impressive today on the back end and will reward extended cellaring.

Mojave Desert 2007
Daily Blog (Day 2)
Woke up this morning around 6:30 am to start getting the science equipment ready for the day and to get the breakfast foods on the table for everyone. It was a beautiful night for sleeping. Temperatures dipped into the low 50s but with my wife and Isabelle and Nathan sleeping in the tent with me it was nice and warm. This was our children's very first camping experience and it was neat to have them experience it with such a great group of people, four of which were my students. I was very impressed with how well they handled sleeping in the woods for the first time---there was no complaining at all and nothing but smiles, giggling, and getting along (a parent's dream!).
Rain was in the forecast for the day so I got the fire started so everyone could dry out their clothing from the upcoming EVA expeditions. Everyone started waking up around 7:15 am to the smell of the fire and dehydrated eggs with bacon. Students had a choice of either eggs in a bag, which were delicious for being dehydrated, or cereal (Cheerios or Granola) along with bread, cheese (a mandatory requirement for expeditions that I learned from Chris McKay), fruit and either coffee, hot cocoa, or juice. As we ate we started to review the day's agenda and the jobs for each of the student teams for when it was their turn to be Mission Control. Coffee and hot cocoa by the fire seemed to be the morning medicine for the female astronauts on our expedition.
EVA Team #1 started packing their bags with the necessary science equipment we had gone over from the night before and then had to run their checklist back to me before our departure. Prior to our leaving we gathered by the fire to read from the Lewis and Clark journals to see what the Expedition was doing on this very day over 200 years ago. Both Lewis and Clark had written many times in their journal entries about their experience (as they passed through the area where we were actually camping at) and how "troublesome" the mosquitoes were. June and July is the worst time of the year in Sioux City for gnats, ticks, and mosquitoes and our group agreed with Lewis and Clark that these new friends of ours were indeed "troublesome." Skin-so-soft and Deep Woods Off was what we showered with in the morning, afternoon, and early evenings to return the favor to our annoying friends.
At 9 am EVA Team #1 (Kara and Buddy) set out under sunny skies with backpacks filled with snacks, water, and science supplies, and their GPS hand helds ready to navigate. Today's EVA missions were going to be more difficult than the day prior because the protocol was they had to wear ski gloves (simulating space suit gloves and the limitation of dexterity and tactile sensitivity) while using the GPS units and all science gear (including journaling in their log books)
EVA Team #1's first mission objective: to find a hidden lake on the property we were camping on, somewhere 1-2 miles from the base camp. The team had a waypoint and compass bearing to go off of, but nothing more. After searching for 15-20 minutes the students agreed they could not afford to spend any more time looking for the lake and therefore decided on a sample site in order to get their research objectives completed, as they were on a time limit (simulating limited EVA oxygen supply). They decided on a stream for sampling water, along with a flat stretch of land for sampling soil—all located 30 feet down a muddy cliff in a narrow ravine. The students unpacked their gear, reviewing with one another the protocol and steps of their sampling procedures.
First was the Field Documentation Methodology (FDM), which involved a series of digital photos of the sample site: eight panoramic photos showing a horizon view; a pre-sample site photo from 10 feet away (with a rock hammer in the picture for scale); a pre-sample site photo (close-up); and then several pictures of the students digging a hole to bury the slides, removing foil from the sterilized collection tools, and then the sterile collection of soil samples from the hole they were burying the slides in.
Kara found the challenge of unwrapping the foil from the shovel with gloves on to be frustrating, especially when she didn't want to contaminate the shovel by touching the end with her gloves. I was very impressed with how well she did completing the task as it took her a lot longer with the gloves on. Buddy was the steady hand that dug out the hole, buried the slides and then scooped out the samples of soil. Kara was right at his side helping him with the collection bag while Buddy carefully put the samples of soil in the bag.
When collecting soil samples, this was done using Ziploc bags and then marking on them with pre-discussed nomenclature methods which included a waypoint, latitude and longitude coordinates, elevation, and air and soil temperatures, as well as the date it was collected. Prior to burying the slides students used temperature sensors to record the air temperature, and then the temperature of the soil at the surface, 6cm down (in the side of the hole), and then at the bottom of the hole (13 cm). The temperatures were recorded around 9:45 am and the results were as follows: Air temp: 59.5 F ; Surface soil temp: 57.4 F ; Soil temp at 7cm: 58.9 F ; and soil temp at 14cm: 58.3 F. These results would be compared to the results of EVA Team #2, whose objective would be to locate and recover the slides later in the afternoon. Shortly after burying the slides students marked the burial location with a bright yellow ruler (because we had forgotten to pack a marking flag) and then took a post sample site photo of the site.
Upon returning to camp we found EVA Team #2 all smiles and eager to greet us with news that lunch was ready, as well as what they had been accomplishing during our EVA excursion. They had organized and cleaned up the campsite, prepared lunch, and entertained themselves for an hour doing contests and challenges in a glove box that Mr. Newton had designed for them to work on.
They had a series of timed tasks to complete, again with the difficulty of limited dexterity and mobility associated with the hands. After listening to them all tell me how the task was impossible and couldn't be done, I challenged them by showing the "young pups" how it was done. My advice to them is that if you keep doing things the same way and you don't get positive results (which they were all doing) then trying a new approach to the problem might be the answer. The task was: using the glove box they had to thread as many small beads as possible onto a piece of thread and in three minutes time. The challenge was not so much the issue with the gloves, but the fact that the thread was so flimsy that it didn't allow you the ability to keep the beads from falling off. However, the students had left a Swiss army knife in the box, which was to be used to cut the thread at the end, so I use the scissors to hold the bead in place as I pushed the thread through the beads. It was much easier and less frustrating to accomplish the task and I was able to thread two beads in the three minutes time allotted. After I accomplished this for them, I didn't hear one student mention during the expedition that something couldn't be done.
After a delicious lunch we took a break to clean up for the day (daily baby wipe showers in our tents). Although we didn't have running water to use for showers, and usually when camping you can go several days without one, I told the students that I wanted them to take a baby wipe shower each day to keep clean as hygiene issues have presented many problems on space missions and with expeditions on Earth in Antarctica and with other isolated and semi-confined expedition groups (for more on this topic read the research documentations in Bold Endeavors by Jack Stuster). They also journaled about their thoughts relating to both the hygiene issue in space, as well as their feelings surrounding their comfort level of not having a water shower on the expedition. Everyone agreed that they felt clean, and that no hygiene issues came up with other members during the trip. So, I guess we passed this test.
Shortly after our clean up time, we proceeded to take advantage of the sunlight that decided to show up and did some UV radiation labs using UV beads. We first discussed the damaging effects of UV both on Earth and in the Space environments. Then we had UV bead tubes that showed the level of UV radiation being emitted, as beads would turn different shades of purple under different levels of exposure. Using a color scale students could determine the level of UV radiation the beads were being exposed to. We then took a cluster of beads and placed a UV filter over them to see how protected they were. To the student's amazement, the beads under the filter didn't change color much at all, especially the ones closest to the center of the filter. We then did a test putting the beads behind our sunglasses to see how much of a filter they provided for our eyes. Students also did a radiation lab using white and black containers with thermometers in them to record the difference in radiation absorption. One group did this lab in the shade and one group in the sun. Results in the sun showed a greater difference in temperature, but both studies found the black containers to have recorded higher temperatures.
Shortly after our UV lab activity it started to rain pretty heavy, so we put up an extra canopy for rain shelter and tarped our other canopy to keep our science supply station dry. One of the support poles for the canopy broke so Glen designed a makeshift support using a tree limb and two empty Gatorade bottles. EVA Team #2 (Andy and Elise) packed their science gear, put on their rain coats and we set out into a steady rain to accomplish our mission objectives: the recovery of the slides, updated results of the air and soil temperatures at the burial sight, and then discovery of the "lost lake" if time permitted.
Following the directions and waypoints left by EVA Team #1, Andy and Elise found the yellow ribbon markers on the trees but couldn't find the ruler and marker in the ground. They continued their search, and it was Andy that stumbled upon two amazing discoveries. First was a thick layer of exposed sedimentary rock (sandstone) that was exposed from an eroded embankment. Having studied rocks containing hypoliths and endoliths, Andy discovered hypoliths on some of the rock so he and Elise collected samples, marked the waypoint, and then labeled their collection bags with proper nomenclature.
After the collection they started looking for the buried slides again and stumbled upon the "lost lake." We marked the waypoint to show the rest of the group tomorrow on our morning hike. After another 10 minutes of hunting they found the marker where the buried slides were. Posing for the camera like Lewis and Clark did 200 years ago, we captured our own history in the making. They then proceeded to approach the site, carefully dug up the slides and placed them in collection bags and then recorded the temperatures as EVA Team #1 did earlier in the morning. Just five hours later they found the results to have changed quite a bit: air temp: 66.3 F; surface soil temp: 59.4 F; soil temp at 7cm: 59.2 F; and soil temp at 14cm: 58.1 F.
After returning to camp we discussed these findings as a group and came up with the conclusions that the air temp had obviously increased due to warming of the surface of the earth from the sun (hence the increase in surface soil temp) and conduction processes involved. But the great mystery of the day was to figure out why the temps recorded in the morning (starting at the surface and going downward) went from 57.4, to 58.9, to 58.3 F but in the afternoon the temperatures went from 59.4, to 59.2, to 58.1 F. The group concluded that the increase from surface to 7cm in the morning was due to the moisture in the ground holding the heat from the day before, and that the drop from the middle to the bottom of the hole was due to the temperature drop that stabilizes around 3-5 feet of subsurface depth. With the afternoon results the drop from the surface to the middle of the hole was due to radiation from the sun heating up the surface much faster than the lower and moister layer at 7cm (as the middle temperature recording in the afternoon had actually gone up from the morning reading). They also concluded that there was less of a difference in temperature from the morning and afternoon results at 14cm, than there was at 7cm which everyone felt was probably due again to the stabilizing of the temperature mentioned earlier.
Back at camp we realized that we had left our expensive Eastwing Rock Hammer back at the sample site, so we organized an unscheduled group EVA (which Andy named "Operation Eastwing") for the next morning before we would start our survival training. So, in preparation of this endeavor we anticipated that the heavy rains would make the hillside difficult to get down safely, so we organized a repelling mission using our climbing gear and rope we had. All students had previously gone through Rock Climbing skills training, so they had sufficient knowledge of how to use a harness and use proper belay commands. So, in preparation of this endeavor, students practiced their knot tying skills using an "official" knot guide and practiced with pieces of old climbing rope.
Dinner was next on the agenda for the evening as we all started leaving the nice warm fire that had helped us dry out our socks, hats, and shirts that had not survived the thunderstorms that had decided to show up that afternoon. As wet as we all were nobody complained and there wasn't a person without a smile on their face the whole time. In fact, we all actually enjoyed the rain during the second EVA as it would rain for about 10 minutes and then the sun would come out for 10 minutes, repeating this for about an hour. It felt as if we were in the rainforests of Costa Rica—yet we were still just two miles north of Sioux City, Iowa. Our little paradise in Iowa. As the parents worked on cooking up their dinner of Chicken with Spanish rice in a burrito, chips, fruit, and water/juice, the students made their camping meals using boiling water and worked on their second attempt at the Lego Challenge. The results tonight were much better as the group had learned that common language was the key for proper interpretation and explanation of how to build a similar structure. The end result wasn't perfect but it didn't look like it did the night before. . .
The second lab was one where we proved that there was 21% oxygen in the air we were breathing, which we did using a candle, a petri dish with water, and a test tube. By standing the candle upright, placing it in the petri dish (with water), lighting it, and then covering it with the test tube a vacuum was created and eventually water rose to a level of about 1/5 the volume of the test tube (20%). I explained to them that the candle didn't go out until it had used up the oxygen in the test tube, and then the water that rose up inside replaced this volume, which could be measured by marking the outside of the test tube at the water level. Then by filling the test tube full of water and measuring this volume, followed by filling the test tube to the marked line and measuring the volume, a person could subtract the difference and then calculate the percentage of volume of this space to be around 21%--representing the % of oxygen in the air we were breathing.
The second lab we did was a convection lab. We started this activity by discussing that in microgravity there is no convection because of the lack of gravity. We also discussed why this was an issue with air circulation (for dust/microbe settling, smoke detection, heat removal from engines, etc.) and then proceeded to conduct our lab using two convection tubes (connected to one another by a small tube)—one convection tube apparatus having a burning candle at the bottom of it and the other a container of ice water. Then by putting smoke at the top of the convection tube (the one with the ice water) and using a flashlight to track the movement of the smoke, they could see the smoke travel down the tube, through the connecting tube (which allowed them see acceleration of the smoke—Bournelli's principle in action) and then the rising of the smoke as it hit the warm air currents being produced by the other convection tube with the candle. They all thought this was so cool, and then made the connection with why we have breezes in the afternoons, and why on ocean beaches it is windy towards the beach in the afternoon and then in the evening the breeze turns around and heads back out towards the sea.
We concluded the evening with an evening snack, hot cocoa, and some great star gazing. Kara's dad Steve taught us the art of cell phone photography and took some great pictures of the Moon through the ocular lense of the telescope. Elise was also just as determined to get a great photo of the Moon and spent over 30 minutes taking pictures with her digital camera until she had taken one she was happy with. Take a look at what some amateur photographers and astronomers came up with.
We spent two hours star gazing at Jupiter and Venus, and the Moon, and learning how to operate Steve's new telescope. Afterwards we enjoyed the fire for a bit before turning in to bed around 1am.

Insight & Intelligence : Apr 18, 2014
Based primarily on the 2012 NIH Workforce report, this infographic represents current workforce sizes and annual fluxes before and after a Ph.D. in the biomedical sciences in the U.S. The picture is not as dire as that painted for the U.K. by this 2010 Royal Society report, but many of these figures are based on estimates and self-reporting. We'll have to wait for the NAS Postdoc Report for better data.
In the meantime, that report's chair, Greg Petsko, has divulged some interesting tidbits in his iBiology talk: The data on postdocs are so poor, many institutions can't estimate the number of postdocs they have within an order of magnitude. Hopefully, clear data on these job markets will empower trainees to make better-informed career decisions.

Here's how we cook steaks:
1. Put in an airtight container and allow to come up to room temperature.
2. Coat both sides of the steak with oil of choice (you don't need much!)
3. Preheat a nonstick skillet (we use medium heat...you're aiming for the temperature that browns butter).
4. Cook the steak for two minutes on the first side. While it's cooking, sprinkle salt and pepper on the top.
5. Flip the steak, and cook the other side for 2 minutes.
6. Remove steak from the heat and allow to rest for three minutes.
7. Slice and enjoy!

- Directed by Herbert Ross
===Story=== Director Herbert Ross (''The Turning Point'') pulled a winning movie out of this almost self-consciously archetypal tale of teenage rock rebellion. Kevin Bacon stars as a hip city kid who ends up in a Bible-belt town after his parents divorce. An ill fit for a conservative community where rock is frowned upon and dancing is forbidden, Bacon's character rallies the kids and takes on the establishment. Between a good cast really embracing the drama of Dean Pitchford's screenplay, and Ross's imaginative, highly charged way of shooting the dance numbers, you can get lost in this all-ages confection, and you won't even mind Kenny Loggins's bubbly pop. Bonuses include one of John Lithgow's best performances (a bit reminiscent of Jimmy Stewart), and Christopher Penn (who sure doesn't look the same anymore) as a good-natured hick who learns to boogie.

And we all thought Ben was the big-time gambler.
Turns out, it's Guadalupe Lopez -- Jennifer's mom -- who's been blessed by Lady Luck.
At 7:40 p.m. last Saturday night, Mrs. Lopez made a $3 bet on a "Wheel of Fortune" slot machine at the Borgata hotel and casino in Atlantic City -- and won a jackpot worth a cool $2.4 million, an insider tells PEOPLE.com.
Guadalupe immediately tried to reach her daughter to share the good news, but J. Lo wasn't answering her phone. The "Wedding Planner" star was in Los Angeles attending Nickelodeon's 17th annual Kids Choice Awards. Alas, J.Lo's luck wasn't as good: She lost out to Hilary Duff as favorite female singer.
The ironic twist in the story is that Affleck's gambling was reportedly one of the points of dispute in his relationship with Lopez. But evidently nothing was lost on J.Lo's mom. Our source says that Ben taught Guadalupe everything she knows about casino play.
According to a press release from the Borgata, the winner was quoted as saying, "It was divine intervention. I have a great devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe ... and had just looked up at the $2 million and said a little prayer to her when I hit the jackpot. Our Lady really looks out for me."
She added, "When I won, my knees started shaking and I started yelling and screaming."

Electrons to Pass the 'White Glove' Over a Spaceprobe
|A thin section of Strain 121, the so-called 'unboilable bug' which survives high-pressure autoclave heating to a record breaking 121 degrees Celsius, or about 250 degrees Fahrenheit. "Growth at 121 C is remarkable," reported discoverers of Strain 121, Lovley and Kashefi, "because sterilization at 121 C, typically in pressurized autoclaves to maintain water in a liquid state, is a standard procedure, shown to kill all previously described microorganisms and heat-resistant spores."

Texas A&M nuclear researchers are working with the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory to examine how electron beam technology can sterilize spacecraft components.
Dr. Suresh Pillai, director of the National Center for Electron Beam Food Research, and Dr. Lee Braby, a research professor in the department of nuclear engineering, received a grant from NASA to investigate how electron-beam irradiation can contribute to keeping future spacecrafts from seeding other planets and moons inadvertently.
"Deep space missions must be properly sterilized to distinguish between organisms brought from Earth and those that may be indigenous to other planetary bodies, such as Mars," Pillai said in a Texas A&M report. This concern culminated in the wording of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, which said that nations should pursue studies of solar system bodies "so as to avoid their harmful contamination and also adverse changes in the environment of the Earth."
"Electron-beam irradiation is potentially a better solution than dry-heat sterilization, the key NASA-approved technique," said Pillai. When this method of sterilization is used, electrons are accelerated between two charged anodes and cathodes until they are sufficiently fast to damage the biology of whatever microbes might be tyring to hitch-hike an unwanted extraterrestrial voyage. The technique is already widely used in the plastics and food preservation industries.
NASA's Planetary Protection Program aims to preserve pristine conditions both going outwards and when returning future samples to Earth. John Rummel of the Office of Planetary Protection and Michael Meyer of NASA's Astrobiology Program wrote that Earth is surprisingly hard to wipe off what otherwise might appear to retain its pristine mint conditions. "On Earth," noted Meyer and Rummel, "living organisms are distributed throughout our planet: in rock at depths of over 1,000 meters (about 3,000 feet), in soil frozen for more than 3 million years, in 110-degree Celsius (230-degree Fahrenheit) seawater and so on. Life can reach high abundances in the right environments (a human body contains about 50 percent nonhuman cells, by number, and sheds about 50,000 living cells per day). It is impossible, under normal conditions, to visit Earth and not encounter life." By a similar token, outgoing spacecraft have to be wiped clean using a combination of heat, low-humidity and gamma irradiation in those cases where the electronics are suited for such exposures.
Pillai said dry-heat sterilization involves heating components at 110 C for at least 40 hours. Unlike dry heat, electron beams sterilize at relatively lower temperatures and involve radiation-damage to microbial DNA for the techniques success at preserving spacecraft cleanliness.
|"After living in the dirt of Mars, a pathogen could see our bodies as a comparable host." –John Rummel, NASA Planetary Protection Officer

"Unfortunately, many components are heat sensitive and undergo deterioration making them incompatible with heat sterilization," Pillai said.
The research will revolve around heat-sensitive materials such as low-temperature adhesives, polymers used in making lander balloons and printed circuit board materials. The focus will be on developing electron-beam technology for spacecraft materials and components.
"The proposed work will advance electron-beam sterilization technology to an operational level," Pillai said. "This will be a major advance towards adding a new and highly capable sterilization technique to the current limited NASA planetary protection tool set."
NASA's instruction on planetary protection expresses this careful approach to protecting from cross contamination: "The conduct of scientific investigations of possible extraterrestrial life forms, precursors, and remnants must not be jeopardized. In addition, the Earth must be protected from the potential hazard posed by extraterrestrial matter carried by a spacecraft returning from another planet. Therefore, for certain space-mission/target-planet combinations, controls on organic and biological contamination carried by spacecraft shall be imposed in accordance with directives implementing this policy."
Requirements for forward decontamination vary from Category I, for missions to bodies of no biological interest (for example, the Sun), to Category IV, where a spacecraft will land on a planet of potential biological interest. Category V is reserved for missions that visit another solar system body (other than the Moon) and return to Earth.
The Category Five Catastrophe
David Grinspoon, a planetary scientist who spearheaded the Magellan mission to Venus, noted that fictional accounts of space probes spreading microbes into another potentially unprotected biosphere has been a traditional concern. " You may not know it," wrote Grinspoon, "but NASA is guarding you against this danger through the Office of Planetary Protection, which is charged with preventing the inadvertent spreading of life between worlds during space exploration…NASA is also making concerted efforts to prevent 'forward contamination,' in which we would be the evil alien invaders who seed other planets with Earth bugs. NASA crashed the Galileo spacecraft into Jupiter…in an effort to avoid the remote possibility that the spacecraft would one day smash into Europa and cause an unforgivable planetary pandemic on that watery moon. …[The Mars probes, Spirit and Opportunity] have all been carefully sterilized so that we will not return to Mars one day to find Earthly life forms that we accidentally deposited in an earlier voyage."

The only samples that have been returned to Earth so far have come from the moon. Astronauts on the Apollo missions returned 379 kilograms (835 pounds) of rock and soil from the Moon, and three Russian spacecraft (Luna 16, 20 and 24) also returned moon samples. The samples were kept in sealed containers until they arrived at their respective laboratories for study. Some proposals discuss having both the European Space Agency and NASA launch martian sample return missions by 2011, with samples returning to Earth by 2016.
Sample return missions currently in progress include spacecraft designed to sample a comet, an asteroid, and the solar wind. Although life is not likely to be found in these places, the precursor chemicals that make life possible may be present.
NASA's Stardust mission, launched in 1999, will reach comet Wild 2 in January 2004. Stardust will return to Earth with both cometary and interstellar dust particle samples in January 2006.
NASA's Genesis mission was designed to collect solar wind samples. The spacecraft was launched in August of 2001 and has now collected particles coming off the sun. The samples will be returned to Earth in September 2004.
Japan's MUSES-C spacecraft, launched May 2003, is headed for asteroid 1998 SF36. After its arrival in June 2005, the spacecraft will gather up to one gram of material from a variety of sites on the asteroid. The samples are expected to arrive back on Earth by June 2007.
In looking forward to these and other missions, any addition to the tools available for handling life's bountiful productivity may broaden the kinds of future space hardware that passes our own planet's ultimate 'white glove' test.

IBM and Linden Lab Interoperability Announcement
,----[ Quote ]
| This is a historic day for Second Life, and for virtual worlds in general.
| IBM and Linden Lab have announced that research teams from the two companies
| successfully teleported avatars from the Second Life Preview Grid into a
| virtual world running on an OpenSim server, marking the first time an avatar
| has moved from one virtual world to another.
| [...]
| An open standard for interoperability based on the Open Grid Protocol would
| allow users to cross freely from one world to another, just as they can go
| from one Web site to another on the Internet today.
GPL on both ends, runs well on Linux. Stupid Google on the other hand:
Beyond Second Life: Virtual Worlds' Second Wind
,----[ Quote ]
| Moreover, Google seems to have shot itself in the foot by requiring Lively
| users (Liveliers? Livelivers??) to be running Windows XP or Vista. It can
| hardly be beyond the wit of the massed Google geniuses to come up with a
| cross-platform solution that runs on GNU/Linux and the Mac as well. Maybe
| this focus on Windows reflects the kind of user they expect to get excited
| about creating an avatar (wow!) and chatting with friends in rooms you design
| (far out, man!). It's hard not to see Lively as another Orkut, Google's
| me-too social network that nobody outside members of certain Brazilian
| subcultures seems to use these days.
Semantic Wonderland

| Among the most impressive demos at JavaOne was the open sourced

| Apparently one gets the best out of wonderland by running it on Linux,

But the former king's influence is still felt all across the pop-music landscape. Below, read just 13 ways Michael Jackson's legacy is still with fans today.
1. He Made R&B the Sound of Pop
Ebet Roberts / Redferns / Getty
2. He Made Music Videos an "Event"
In the early '80s, music videos were widely considered a secondary piece of promotion. MTV changed that, and Jackson was one of the first artists to realize the artistic powers of the medium, creating million-dollar mini-movies for each of his biggest singles. The music video has been declared dead at various times since the TRL era, but as artists as varied as Katy Perry, Psy and Robin Thicke have learned, an iconic video still has the power to make a song a hit.
3. He Showed a Prepubescent Pop Star Could Make It in the Modern Music Industry
(Credit: Hy Michael Jackson)
Shirley Temple set the mold, and young Michael Jackson broke it. In his time with the Jackson 5, Michael's preternatural polish and poise stunned audiences, who found themselves in the unlikely position of looking up to someone who was four feet tall. The model still works today, with singers like Justin Bieber and Greyson Chance seeing their first singles drop before their voices did.
4. He Set the Bar that Every Subsequent Pop Album Measures Itself Against
5. He Made Dancing a Prerequisite
(Credit: Giphy)
Sure, pop stars danced before MJ – Exhibit A right here – but with his air-tight routines, Jackson took dancing from an elective to a required course. For later stars like 'N Sync and Britney Spears, having an instantly recognizable dance move was just as important as a vocal hook. These days, One Direction may disagree, but we see their argument and raise them one "Gangnam Style."
6. He Invented the High-Profile Soda Ad
Beyoncé has Pepsi, Taylor has Diet Coke and Drake has Sprite – you can't be an A-Lister these days without a soft-drink endorsement, and we have Michael to thank for that.
7. He Was Instrumental in Developing the Celebrity Charitable-Industrial Complex
Bob Geldof and Band-Aid may have gotten there first, but Jackson and Lionel Richie took the notion of a celebrity supergroup to new heights, recruiting dozens of music superstars for their charity single "We Are the World." The idea took off – from Songs for Japan to Dark Was the Night – the release of a new charity compilation is a near monthly occurrence.
8. He Put On the First Modern Super Bowl Halftime Show

9. His Legion of Imitators Keep the Image Alive
Only Elvis Presley has more recognizable impersonators than Michael Jackson, but as tastes change, you can expect the King of Pop's costumed admirers to overtake the King's by the end of the decade. Today, a solid moonwalk is a dance-loving teen's best chance for winning his high-school talent show.
10. His "Thriller" Video Kickstarted a Flash-Mob Trend
The inmates at the Philippines' Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center were the very definition of a captive audience when their mass rendition of "Thriller" went viral in 2007, but the thousands of musical flash mobs that followed in their wake had no such excuse. Now, the power of choreographed group dance performances is such that they can even catapult a song to the top of the charts.
11. His Son Plans to Join the Family Business
Richard Shotwell / Invision / AP
12. His New Posthumous Album Shows His Skills Were Timeless
For the recent Xscape, a group of producers led by Timbaland revamped eight previously unreleased Jackson demos, adding modern production to the decades-old recordings. The result is an album that recalls a beguiling mix of eras and genres. As AllMusic wrote, "the demos reveal how strong Jackson's songwriting is – the songs could withstand any number of arrangements."
13. He's Still Giving Us Delightful Internet Ephemera
Do you need to see this video of Michael Jackson dancing to R. Kelly's "Ignition (Remix)" alongside director Brett Ratner? Probably not. But trust us – once you do, you'll be glad you did.

It may be illegal to buy tiger bone wine in China, but that doesn't mean that it's impossible to get if you know the right auctioneer. Recently, Jonathan Watts, an undercover reporter from the Guardian newspaper, found himself at Googut auction house in Beijing witnessing lot after lot of banned items being hammered down. The sale included liquors and tonics fortified with tiger bone, rhinoceros horn, and pangolin. No one seemed phased by his presence until he declared that he was a reporter.
Before the sale, China's State Forestry Administration had ordered the auction house to forego auctioning tiger bone wine because of a protest staged by a conservation group, but according to Watts, Googut showed no signs of canceling the auction until the staff found out he was present. When Watts let the staff know he was a reporter, so he could ask them about the illegal sales, things began to get interesting. The police showed up and locked down the auction — which even then continued as the auction house pressed the reporter to leave. When he refused, finally, the auctioneer declared that the tiger bone wine sale was cancelled.
According to the report, the tiger bone wine has medicinal qualities that "stave off chills, improve circulation and eliminate fatigue." Cases were estimated between RMB 5,000 ($800) and RMB 200,000 ($32,000).

McMurran Hall in 1896
Shepherd University was founded as a private college in 1871 by a number of Shepherdstown residents wanting to start a "Classical and Scientific Institution." Classes at Shepherd College started in September of 1871 in McMurran Hall with 42 students. Then in February 1872 Shepherd College was established as a State Normal School by the State of West Virginia Legislation. Shepherd University was one of the six State Normal Schools to be established in West Virginia and the only one in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Since its founding Shepherd University has grown from a State Normal School and teachers college, to a four year college in 1930, and finally to the liberal arts university in 2004. Today Shepherd University is the home for 4300 students and 36 buildings across east and west campus making it the largest higher educational institution in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.
To learn more about Shepherd University's history check out the virtual Historic Tour of Shepherd University's Campus -- which offers tours of the entire or a portion of the campus as well as a photograph gallery and Shepherd University's Legends -- or Shepherd University by Dorothy E. Hively -- a pictorial history of Shepherd Univeristy.
The Shepherd University Firsts Display tells the story of historical firsts at Shepherd University by displaying original memorabilia from the Shepherd University Archive.
Founded in September 1871 with one building and 42 students, Shepherd University has grown to have 36 buildings and over 4,000 students. Many Firsts took place over the past 141 years of Shepherd University history, in academics, athletics, social organizations, and traditions:
The Picket,Shepherd University newspaper, published its first issue on January 30, 1896. Today, The Picket has been published for over 115 years. Music has always been a staple of Shepherd's curriculum but it wasn't until 1904 that the first orchestra was assembled. Freshman traditions started about the 1930s with the wearing of a blue and gold (the college colors)beanie hat with the letter "S" enborded on the front. The organization of the first basketball and baseball teams during the 1900s marked the beginning of the university's athletic program.
You can find the Shepherd University Firsts exhibit in the display case right before you enter the library's Reading Room. This exhibit will run through the Spring 2013 semester.

"Today, Shepherd University is recognized for its outstanding programs in liberal arts, business administration, computer and natural sciences, and professional studies. In 1871, the school opened its doors to 42 students who were guided under the leadership of its first principal, Joseph McMurran. The West Virginia Legislature passed an act in February 1872 to establish a branch of the state normal school for teacher training at Shepherd. Teacher education remained the cornerstone of Shepherd University for more than a century. This pictorial history presents how academics, athletics, and student life transformed over the decades to educate a diverse student body in more than 60 undergraduate programs and five graduate programs."

A screening of "Addiction Incorporated," a documentary about the tobacco industry, will be held at 6 p.m. today at Kulana Oiwi in Kaunakakai.
The showing is being held around the annual anti-smoking campaign, the Great American Smokeout, held this year on Thursday.
The documentary has won critical acclaim for throwing a spotlight on the tobacco industry's falsehoods and its attempt to silence the scientist who blew the whistle on the industry and testified before Congress.
The film, which was 15 years in the making, was written and directed by Charles Evans Jr. and produced by Charmaine Parcero. The 1-hour-and-20-minute film tells the story of scientist Victor De Noble, who worked for Philip Morris. His research uncovered the addictive nature of nicotine in cigarettes, for which he was dismissed. Noble would eventually testify before Congress.
This screening is open to the community.
Hosts for the film include the state Department of Health, Tobacco Prevention and Control and the Coalition for a Tobacco-Free Hawaii, an independent organization dedicated to reducing tobacco use through education, policy and advocacy. In addition, The Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu is holding a special screening for its employees, and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs is sponsoring a screening for high school students.

Before going into a general description of nitrogen metabolism it is of the utmost importance to get a general idea of the newer facts known in regard to protein bodies. Protein bodies represent a highly complex organic combination which has become better known through the studies of Hochmeister, Kossel, and especially of Emil Fisher.
The researches of Emil Fisher, Abderhalden, Bergel, Bona and others show that the end-products of the proteins, are the amino-acids obtained by hydrolysis, and are bodies of the normal fat and aromatic series in which the H atom is displaced by an NH2 group. Of these acids many varieties have been described, of which the better known are glycocoll, alanin, tyrosin, valin, leucin and isoleucin.

I adapted this from a Stuffed Acorn Squash recipe that sounded great. My kids aren't big fans of squash...but they do love yams and sweet potatoes. I thought this was wonderful served with warm rice. I sprinkled cayenne on mine to spice it up a bit. It was even better as leftovers the next couple of days. The photo did not come out great, but it really looks tasty in the casserole dish.
Prep time:
Cook time:
Servings: 8
Cost per serving $1.33 view details
- 3 lbs yams or sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
- 5 ounces turkey sausage (or other sausage)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper,chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Several dashes hot red pepper sauce, to taste
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Lightly coat a large skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, stirring and breaking up with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add onion and bell pepper; cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chili powder and cumin; cook for 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes, beans, salt and hot sauce, scraping up any browned bits. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until the tomatoes are broken down, 10 to 12 minutes.
