A key component of the community vision for the Near Southside is a network of walkable, tree-lined streets that are safe for all users: pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and transit riders. Streets such as Magnolia, Park Place, and South Main serve as destinations and gathering places where one can find great places to eat and shop, as well as urban living options nearby. As with most urban districts, the streets of the Near Southside are our most heavily used public spaces, but FWSI is also working to create a network of neighborhood parks and plazas where friends can meet and families can have a place to play. Toward this goal, FWSI has been involved in the development of three new public spaces over the last several years: Watts Park, Magnolia Green, and the Fairmount Community Garden. More projects are in the works as we continue a committed effort to create a public realm of the highest quality.
Magnolia Avenue has long been the Near Southside's most active and well-known street, but FWSI-led initiatives over the last several years have helped transform Magnolia into one of Fort Worth's most popular attractions.
As one of the City's first major streetscape improvement projects in the mid-1980s, Magnolia between Hemphill and 8th Avenue received brick sidewalks, street trees, historic lampposts, and benches. A "complete street" facelift in 2008-2009 not only spruced up the original streetscape but also added features that helped redefine the street.Continue Reading
Plans to dramatically improve the appearance and safety of Park Place Avenue between 8th Ave. and the Berkeley neighborhood are moving from drawings to reality. Funded by Tax Increment Finance (TIF) District #4, the project will construct a new sidewalk on the street's south side, a wider sidewalk on the north side, and a new sidewalk connection to the Berkeley neighborhood. Decorative lampposts and trees are also included on both sides of the street for the full project length between the FW&W railroad on the west and 8th Ave. on the east.Continue Reading
South Main Street is the hub of one of the Near Southside's three designated urban villages. Business and property owners have worked over the last decade to reverse years of disinvestment, and their efforts are now paying off as S. Main gains more attention and investment.Continue Reading
Working with contractor AUI and project manager TownSite, FWSI designed and constructed Oleander Walk, the distinctive centerpiece of a re-emerging urban neighborhood located between Magnolia Ave. and W. Rosedale between Hemphill and 8th Ave.
The unique street is primarily intended to serve as a linear public space for pedestrians and bicyclists, but also allows vehicular access to garages serving the residential units along the Walk.Continue Reading
FWSI is working with the City and private developers to maximize on-street parking and to create walkable tree-lined streets throughout the Near Southside. S. Adams Street between Magnolia Ave. and W. Rosedale provided an opportunity for Fort Worth South to work with the City to retrofit a street in conjunction with a planned resurfacing project in order to provide parallel parking that would serve several development projects, including 24 new townhouses, the new Schaefer Advertising headquarters in the historic Dunn Haven Apartments building, and the new Young Women's Leadership Academy.Continue Reading
Rosedale Street serves as the largest east-west thoroughfare through the Near Southside, connecting to Interstates 30 and 35W at the west and east ends, respectively. A road widening project completed several years ago by TxDOT focused too exclusively on moving traffic at high speeds through the district, and had a detrimental impact on pedestrian-scaled redevelopment along the corridor. That condition will be addressed through a major streetscape enhancement project that will install median and roadside landscaping alongContinue Reading
Hemphill is a primary north-south thoroughfare through the Near Southside. Over the last decade, Hemphill has been the focus of three separate improvement projects.
The first project, already completed, installed pavement markings between Vickery and Rosedale to change the former five-lane arterial to a four-lane that helped slow traffic speeds and added on-street parking spaces for adjacent businesses. The same project also installed a new mid-block crosswalk just north of Rosedale to ensure safe crossings for the residents of the Villages of Samaritan House.Continue Reading
Watts Park is the first public neighborhood park to be constructed in the Near Southside since the early 20th century. The park is in the historic Leuda/May/St. Louis district and was originally called West Leuda Park. The park's new name, Watts Park, honors one of FWSI's most influential leaders and a true champion of the Near Southside's revitalization: Dr. James Watts.Continue Reading
Magnolia Green is a one-acre public park at the center of the Magnolia Green mixed-use development. The park was completed in conjunction with the 17 townhouse on the park's western edge, and is also bordered by the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders on its southern edge. Magnolia Green provides the Near Southside with a large park suitable for special events as well as informal recreational use.Continue Reading
Street trees help create appealing and walkable places by beautifying the roadside while also providing a buffer between the sidewalk and the adjacent roadway. Historically, many of the Near Southside's streets were lined with trees, but over time various road widening projects and lack of maintenance removed many street trees. In 2009 FWSI began an effort to bring those tree-lined streets back by establishing the Near Southside Street Tree Program in partnership with the Wachovia Foundation and the City of Fort Worth.Continue Reading

Primal won't make you immune to muscle burn or soreness. I find that I recover faster though, even at 40. Could be that you were just having a good day on the bike.
I am on my 4th day of low carb and I did some cycling sprints this morning. First I am amazed that my legs have anything as I did an hour endurance riding for each of the last 3 days... I felt great.
I noticed that my legs did not "burn" like usual. Is that due to the lack of sugars? I would think the 20 second efforts are more ATP driven so I am not sure if this was a fluke or what.
Any experiences with this?
Primal won't make you immune to muscle burn or soreness. I find that I recover faster though, even at 40. Could be that you were just having a good day on the bike.
I am 41! Well I will take the good day then!!!
Actually, lactic acid is one of the all time classic examples of conventional "wisdom." It doesn't cause burn nor soreness. A one hundred year mistake. Google it.

Lactic acid buildup in muscles does not make muscles tired and may even make muscle contract more efficiently, which may increase your endurance. This concept contradicts what most instructors teach in their exercise classes.
Lactic acid builds up because more sugar catabolism than Oxygen supply from blood is happening, but lactate (the form that actually accumulates) is carried to the liver by the blood long before muscle soreness occurs.
High levels of Potassium is the current theory on muscle soreness.

When Wayne State Universitydirector of athletics Rob Fournier selected Paul Winters to become the school's 19th head football coach in 2003, many Detroiters wondered, who is this guy?
Fournier knew Winters' abilities, noting that "Paul had all the qualities" WSU had identified as necessary for a football coach. "He has a proven record of success in working with student-athletes both on and off the playing field," Fournier said.
Winters' first two years were indeed uneventful as he tried to implement his offensive and defensive systems. In the 2004 season WSU finished a woeful 1-9 and followed that up the next year with a 3-7 campaign.
However, methodically and with purpose Winters has turned the Warriors program into a solid and respectable one. In 2006 he went 6-5 and in 2008 the team leaped to 8-3.
Before accepting the job at WSU, Winters spent nine years at the University of Akron as running backs coach/offensive coordinator and prior to that was on the staff at the University of Wisconsin for five years.
Winters played high school football in Akron and then moved to the University of Akron where he became the school's seventh all-time leading rusher and was named 1980 UA Athlete of the Year. Winters, 50, was inducted into the UA Athletic Hall of Fame in 1990.
Displaying that he is a very proficient offensive mind, drawing on his own knowledge as a running back, he helped turn Joique Bell into the NCAA Division II Player of the Year in 2009 after he scampered for an eye-popping 29 touchdowns and 2,084 rushing yards. Bell became the first WSU player named to the AFCA All-America squad since 1945, and was selected to play in the Senior Bowl.
Many wondered how could Winters, a two-time Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year (2006 and 2008), and his staff match the effort Bell's class implemented? After all, his 2009 senior class produced the most wins by a class since 1978, the 2008 squad tied the school record for wins in a season (8), broke the school mark for conference wins in a year (7), and became the first team in school history to be ranked in the AFCA poll.
The 2010 season has produced undeniable evidence that Winters and his staff are headed in the right direct and are developing a program that should be able to sustain itself year-after-year.
The GLIAC split into divisions this season and Wayne State won the South Division title and finished the season ranked 12th, its highest finish in the coaches poll. The Warriors finished the regular season 9-2 and set school records for wins, conference wins (8) and points scored (347).
This season Winters turned a 5-foot-8, 187 pound, junior running back Josh Renel into a 1,249 rusher with 14 touchdowns. He ranked second in the country in all-purpose yards per game (213.3). However, his noteworthy season and a school-record number of victories couldn't propel Wayne State into the postseason.
"Obviously we're disappointed, we're frustrated but what better motivation?" Winters told his team. "You know that you've beaten two of those teams (Mercyhurst in 2009 and Hillsdale this season) — one last year and one this year — that are playing. And you know you're better. We absolutely know that we're better than they are. If we want to get there next year, obviously we have to win every game. If we win every game they can't keep us out."
The Warriors were left out of the Division II playoffs by the NCAA selection committee because they claim their strength was not as strong as those pick ahead of them.
"When it comes to Wayne State, it was obviously a great season at 9-2," NCAA committee chair Shawn Jones said in a telephone conference. "The thing that hurt Wayne State in this situation, one was certainly a loss to Michigan Tech, but also the strength of schedule numbers were not as favorable as those ranked ahead of Wayne State."
As evident by WSU having a school record eight players make First Team All-GLIAC, the most of any school, Winters and his staff are surely coaching their players up and are a beacon to Detroit area college football.

Skinny Cat…
This winter a cat showed up on our porch. �It was very skinny and had short hair so I started calling it Skinny Cat. �We felt sorry for this cat and began to feed it. �We even made it a little box to sleep in, which it liked, and used when it was very cold. �Skinny Cat became a fixture in our yard and porch. �Every morning when I go out to walk it was waiting for me to feed it. �We considered letting it in the house but it was not very friendly with other cats and didn't like our indoor cat. �Despite gladly taking whatever food we would give it, Skinny Cat was very independent and didn't like being picked up. �She could occasionally be very friendly, and sometimes be the most affectionate cat I've ever seen.
Skinny Cat really loved our basement and tried to �sneak in all the time, often when I let her in she would become super happy purr like crazy and try to rub its face all over my face.
Skinny Cat died last night in our basement.
When we returned home from our recent trip it took Skinny Cat a couple days to start hanging around again. �On Thursday it came to our porch to eat but it hissed �at us whenever we got close to it. �When it scratched at me I swatted it away. �As it left the porch I noticed it was walking a bit funny, its back legs seemed to be sore.
Over the next couple of days I noticed that it was getting worse. �Saturday morning I was talking to Luke in my back yard. �It was the last time I saw him before he left for the Great West and Tour Divide. �While we were talking he started chuckling. �From his vantage point he saw a driver in the alley get out of their car and throw a rock at Skinny Cat, who was laying in the alley and refused to move for the car. �The rock hit her and �Skinny Cat hobbled into our back yard its back legs barely working and it fell down several times.
Saturday night we brought Skinny Cat into our basement since it was crawling around our yard. �I was sure it had been hit by a car, but when I looked her over I could find no damage. �Skinny Cat hissed at us and tried to drive us off, but gave up and just laid down and then ate some food.
Sunday morning I we went to the basement and couldn't find Skinny. �I laid down on the floor and it came crawling out from behind some boxes. �Her entire rear seemed paralyzed and she dragged herself with her front claws across the carpet. �She dug a claw into my sleeve and arm and pulled her head up into my chest and began to purr and urged me to pet her. �That's when I knew that she was dying. �We laid there for a long time and eventually I had to pull her claw away.
We vistited her several more times Sunday and she would always try to look at us and purr when we came down, but the last time we visited her she could barely raise her head. Shauna found her dead this morning. �When I left for my walk this morning I was very sad not to see Skinny Cat waiting for me on the porch, but I'm at least glad she was able to spend her last couple days in a place she liked with people who cared for her.
Mr. Patrick…
A man from nearby Galatia was hit while riding his bike on the Hamburg road a couple of weeks ago. �I wasn't going to write a post about it, but found myself drawn out to where he was hit on a ride a few days ago. �Scott Patrick was a retired coal miner who worked with my friend Mike at American Coal, where he was known as "Spongebob" he was 55 and had retired early because he had back problems. �Mr. Patrick had found cycling was helping him loose weight and recover from his injuries and was enjoying it so much he recently bought at nice Trek bike.
Hamburg road is an excellent stretch of road for riding, its smooth, wide, surrounding by fields and almost in the middle of nowhere. �When I rode it I saw two cars, it is not the kind of road I would expect to get ran over on.
I stopped and took pictures of the paint marks the state police had left on the road, identifying the front wheel, back wheel, a shoe, and eventually the body of the man. �100 Feet up the road a long line said TRUCK. �The truck was driven by Lee McKinnies, a 58 year old man, whom I've been told had recently suffered severe medical problems, could not walk without a walker, and had been ordered not drive. �Mr. McKinnies was probably at the limit of his abilities to just keep the large truck on the road and either didn't see or was unable to react to the cyclist.
I didn't know Mr. Patrick, and yet as cyclists we share a bond, odds are good that we would have crossed paths if he continued to ride. � I always tell people that cycling on roads is very safe, in fact I recently told a man I met on the rail trail how safe it is to ride the nearly empty roads North of town. �That will be harder to say now.
Comments about this story on a newspaper website from across the state claim cycling on public roads should be a crime, and blame the cyclists for not being visible enough to drivers. �This is the usual response I fear, somehow when a cyclist is hit from behind its�their�fault. �Oddly the opposite thing seems to happen to motorcyclists. �There is a big campaign funded by the Department of Transportation to remind drivers to "Start Seeing Motorcycles." �I suppose its because motorcycling is much more popular than cycling, and far more dangerous, but it still�aggravates�me, especially considering that only about half of motorcycle deaths involve another�vehicle. � How many bicycle deaths don't involve the cyclist getting hit by another vehicle, not that many. � Don't get me wrong, motorcyclists are hit by careless drivers, and it warrants everyone's attention, but don't cyclists warrant the same attention as well.
I'll be thinking about Skinny Cat and Mr. Patrick as I ride. �Anytime you devote yourself to something, whether it be a pet, a person or a pastime there's always the danger it'll be taken away from you, or you from it. �It's these loses that remind us to love the time we have.

Plosser Says Fed Exit Should Start Before Job Revival Firm
Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Charles Plosser said an exit from stimulus measures should start "long before" a recovery in the U.S. jobs market is assured.
"Somewhat tighter monetary policy is possible by the end of the year," he said today at a press conference, after speaking at an event organized by the Bank of Finland in Helsinki. "We will have to begin exiting from our policies long before the unemployment rate is down to what people would like to have. That's going to be a difficult decision."
Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and the Federal Open Market Committee, which includes Plosser, are considering the tools they would use to pull back stimulus, according to the minutes of their April meeting. One possible sequence is to end the policy of reinvesting proceeds from maturing securities and later raise interest rates and sell assets, though such moves "would not necessarily begin soon," according to the minutes.
"The challenge of when to begin to reverse course, the challenge to pick the timing and the pace of that correctly, is the challenge that we're going to face," Plosser said. "We will have to figure out a way to do it at the right time, because if we wait too late, we fall into traps."
Plosser, 62, voted to complete the central bank's $600 billion of bond purchases and backed its decision to keep interest rates "exceptionally low" for an "extended period." In 2008, he dissented twice in favor of less monetary stimulus.
Dollar Gains
The dollar gained 0.2 percent against the euro to trade at 1.4603 at 12:55 p.m. in London.
The "hurdle" for further quantitative easing is "very high," Plosser said. He also warned that the government is on an "unsustainable" fiscal path.
Plosser said labor market numbers last week were "disappointing, certainly," while adding they won't change the Fed's medium-term outlook.
Payrolls grew at the slowest pace in eight months and the U.S. jobless rate unexpectedly climbed to 9.1 percent in May, reinforcing signs that a slowdown in the world's largest economy is persisting into the second quarter, Labor Department figures showed on June 3.
Employers added 54,000 jobs last month, after a revised 232,000 gain in April missed initial estimates. The median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey called for payrolls to rise 165,000. The jobless rate climbed to the highest level this year from 9 percent a month earlier.
Inflation Target
At the same time, consumer prices rose an annual 3.2 percent in April, the fastest pace since October 2008, the Labor Department said on May 13. Core inflation, which strips out the impact of food and energy, gained to 1.3 percent, the fastest pace since February last year.
Inflation expectations need to be "better anchored," Plosser said.
In prepared comments delivered earlier today, Plosser repeated his call for the Fed to commit to an explicit target for the rate of inflation. He also called for the central bank to reduce its balance sheet from $2.79 trillion to "less than $1 trillion."

Last week the international community was hit by one of the worst viral internet attacks to take over the corporate world in recent years. The worm -- which goes by the names Downadup, Conficker, or Kido -- had infected 8 million computers, almost all on corporate networks, by Friday. Describes Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at anti-virus firm F-Secure, "On Tuesday there were 2.5 million, on Wednesday 3.5 million and today [Friday], eight million. It's getting worse, not better."
As of today, an estimated 8.9 million machines are infected with the virus. The very sophisticated worm exploits multiple secure flaws in Microsoft's Windows OS's. It injects itself into services.exe, a common system process. It creates a new DLL file in Windows system folder with a random five letter name. It makes registry edits referencing this DLL as a service, so it's automatically run on restart.
Once it has its grips on the system, it proceeds to create an HTTP server and download malware onto the computer from hacker web sites. It also wipes out the system restore with a reset, making it harder to recover the system. While many viruses download malware remotely from a handful of web sites, allowing for easy removal of the installed files, this one is much trickier. Every day hundreds of dummy domain names are generated by an algorithm coded in the worm, with only one being the actual malware site. This makes it extremely difficult to find exactly what is being installed each day.
The virus's main method of transmission is via local networks. Once a computer is infected on the network it scans for other computers on the network, and then it uses the aforementioned Windows security flaw to attempt to gain access to them. While the computers are typically password protected, the virus can guess shorter passwords by a brute force method of random guessing. Once it finds the right password, it infects the next computer, which joins the attacking ranks.
Microsoft has a patch which protects against the Ethernet side of the attack -- MS08-067. Companies are strongly recommended to get this patch as the virus is rapidly spreading across Europe, the United States, and Asia.
Describes Graham Culley, senior technology consultant with anti-virus firm Sophos, "Microsoft did a good job of updating people's home computers, but the virus continues to infect business who have ignored the patch update. A shortage of IT staff during the holiday break didn't help and rolling out a patch over a large number of computers isn't easy. What's more, if your users are using weak passwords - 12345, QWERTY, etc - then the virus can crack them in short order."
However, while the patch may slow the spread of the virus it may not be enough to stop it. The most recent variant of the worm, which is the one that was released two weeks ago and caused the number of infections to skyrocket, can transmit itself via USB, an attack route that currently no Windows patch blocks. While properly patched antivirus software may block the attack, relying on such a software block is a risky proposition.
Kaspersky Lab's security analyst, Eddy Willems describes the virus's nightmarish spread, stating, "The replication methods are quite good. It's using multiple mechanisms, including USB sticks, so if someone got an infection from one company and then takes his USB stick to another firm, it could infect that network too. It also downloads lots of content and creating new variants though this mechanism."
Thus far the virus has only been used to inject malware into PCs. But security experts warn that attackers could use their foothold on the system to start stealing users' and customers' credit card numbers and personal information. It could also be used to completely hijack the computer, adding it to a botnet.
Ultimately the only current solution is for companies to patch their machines, quarantine and remove malware from infected machines, and disallow use of USB storage devices.

quote: You just noted an important difference between Mac OS X and Windows - while Mac OS X is getting hacked at security conferences, Windows is getting hacked everywhere else ;-)

quote: Microsoft patches have a habit of breaking compatability or crashing your system
quote: The writer of the program has to write an update and test it thorougly because unless a large amount of people are hit by an MS update, microsoft is not going to solve it unless you are willing to pay a lot of money.
quote: That is 1 of the reasons why IT departments of companies do not or should not use auto update. Updates are applied afcourse but only after testing and the green light is given. Otherwise havoc can happen. You don't want to be an IT admin and find out that you have to solve the problems of for example 100 pc's.
quote: quote: Microsoft patches have a habit of breaking compatability or crashing your system When root cause is determined rarely does an MS patch break compatibility or crash the system. When root cause is actually found it is so rare that MS was the true cause that I'm not sure how you can say "habit". By example there was a software firewall company last year whos software broke after an update. It was determined they were hooking directly into the memory space of a loaded DLL instead of calling the function properly. When the DLL's default load location in memory changed the app broke. No excuse.
quote: First of all, Microsoft fixes bugs free of charge. It doesn't matter if it's a small number of users or large. If you pay to open a support case and it is determined the problem is due to an actual bug and not a misconfig then your support case continues but your money is refunded. This is policy.
quote: Second, if the writer of the program has to fix his program then he has to fix his program. MS isn't going to QQ because you don't know how to write your app. You can't leave systems unsecured indefinately while some craplication writer sorts HIS bug. For this particular update there are mitigation and workarounds available. It also is associated with using RPC without authentication which is horrible programming practice (and not even allowed in Vista/2008). In that DLL example above MS gave the developer a fix the SAME DAY he called (fix = here's a workaround to change dll location until you fix your crap).
quote: 100s? That's chump change. How about 100,0000? Regardless.. IT departments test before they apply. This update came out in October and is listed as a critical update. It is now January. If such an IT staff exists they should be fired. It's a tough economy and plent of good admins are standing by to replace them.
quote: It's nice from you to gice such a throrough explanation. But you forget that company x is making money with that craplication y and thus needs craplication y. That can be a reason not to update untill the craplication becomes less crap. As i have posted above.
quote: Please, keep your manlyhood in your pants. No need to start comparing sizes. I am not an admin and just gave an example. Although i am very capable of analyzing and solving problems with computers i do not enjoy nor do i want to be an IT specialist. But the good IT specialists have my respect.
quote: You're playing quite the devil's advocate here.
quote: My tolerance for excuses from sloppy IT staff just don't go very far. They are the keepers of the data and it's their sole duty to protect it. This particular worm hitting millions of machines is utterly intolerable.
quote: The only things that would be broken by this patch are those things that are using RPC directly (bypassing normal documented API calls) with no authentication. The fix would not be difficult. If someone's software breaks because they are:1. Writing software badly like this to begin with.2. Can't implement what would be an easy fix in 3 months time ..then I think you should look at replacing the software.
quote: Im not against patching security flaws, but if they weren't there in the first place it would be so much better.
quote: Microsoft says that the malware has infected computers in many different parts of the world, with machines in China, Brazil, Russia, and India having the highest number of victims.

Only a year and a half after she began the Jenny Craig program, Sara Rue has lost more than 50 lbs. – and 4 dress sizes! – and is wearing a bikini for the very first time in her life.
"It's a little strange," says the Shedding for the Wedding host, 32. "But after I tried it on, I thought, 'I look good!' "
Since July of last year, Rue has been on a Jenny Craig maintenance plan that consists of cardio workouts four days a week and a 1,700-calorie-a-day diet.
"It's hard. It's a struggle," she says of keeping off the weight. "There are days where I'll say, 'I feel off the rails.' But I don't give myself excuses."
The actress – whose ABC Family movie My Future Boyfriend premieres Sunday – also has plenty of diet tricks up her sleeve.
"I try not to eat animal protein after 7:30 p.m.," she says. "And when I make pasta, I layer the bottom of the bowl with fresh spinach. That way you're having the pasta, but with half the carbs."
Come May, when Rue exchanges vows with her fiancé, college consultant Kevin Price, 35, she won't be skipping her wedding cake. "We're having three kinds, including red velvet and pumpkin caramel," Rue reveals. "I'll be having one of each! Very small slivers of every kind is the way to go."
See Sara as she inspires other couples to get in shape for their big days on the CW's Shedding for the Wedding, on Wednesday night.

White sees doubleheader
LOS ANGELES - Sitting prominently in the crowd at Saturday's Clippers-Miami Heat game, wearing a grey USC football T-shirt was former Trojan star tailback LenDale White.
Because his team, the Tennessee Titans spent Thanksgiving day beating up on the hapless Detroit Lions, and don't play this coming Sunday, White said he was able to fly Friday, from Detroit to Los Angeles.
White was on the sidelines late Saturday afternoon to watch his alma mater maul Notre Dame. He then hightailed it to Staples Center to watch the Clippers' game, along with several friends, including former USC basketball player Cameron Murray, the younger brother of former NBA player Tracy Murray, who spent the 2002-2003 season with the Lakers.
"I got here at halftime,'' said White, who witnessed only the third Clippers' victory of the season.

Nations around the world issued statements condemning the March 6, 2008 terror attack in Jerusalem, in which a Palestinian gunman killed eight students and wounded at least nine others at the Mercaz Harav yeshiva. A number of terrorist groups have claimed responsibility for the attack, including Hamas and Hezbollah. The gunman was killed the scene. It was the deadliest attack on Israeli civilians in nearly two years and the first attack inside Jerusalem for more than four years.
The following are selected statements issued by world leaders in the aftermath of the attack:
"Argentina energetically condemns the attack against a Jewish religious school, in Jerusalem, in which nearly ten civilians were killed. The Argentine Government expresses its deep preoccupation before the new outbreak of tensions and violence in the region which is moving the parties away from dialogue and aggravates the situation of insecurity of the civil society. Argentina exhorts to the cease of violent acts in order to make possible, the reinforcement of a climate that allows redirecting the negotiation process, in search of a just, lasting and global peace." -- Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"(I am) shocked and appalled by the attack against the Mercaz Harav school in Jerusalem last night, in which eight students are reported killed. Australia condemns unreservedly such cowardly violence against innocent civilians. Such violence seeks only to undermine the peace process, which offers the only hope for a just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." -- Foreign Minister Stephen Smith.
BrazilA Foreign Ministry statement read: "The Brazilian Government received, with great consternation, the notice of the attack against the Mercaz Harav School in Jerusalem last Thursday, March 6th, in which eight students were killed and more than a ten of students were injured. By expressing its more sincere condolences and solidarity with the families of the victims, the Brazilian Government reaffirms its vehement condemnation to any act of terrorism and reiterates its call to the involved parts to cease all acts of violence that can compromise the continuation of the current efforts for peace, in the framework of the agreements reached in the Conference of Annapolis."
"We categorically denounce any attack on human life and the right to safe and peaceful existence of citizens. We offer our deepest and heart-felt condolences for the families of the victims." -- Ministry of Foreign Affairs
"Canada is saddened and concerned by the shootings that took place in a Jerusalem school. We offer our condolences to the families of the victims and to the Government of Israel. Canada condemns this terrorist act in the strongest possible terms. It does nothing to advance the Palestinian cause. Canada calls on all Palestinian leaders to reject such atrocious terrorist tactics, which are contrary to the peace process." -- Maxime Bernier, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
"China condemns the violent act targeted at civilians. We urge again that relevant parties keep restraint and avoid taking any move that will lead to escalation of tensions in the region." -- Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
European Union - Presidency
European Union Presidency, held by Slovenia: "These vicious acts of horror are totally unacceptable and there can be no justification for them. This terrorist act must not derail the peace process ... and endanger the efforts for achieving lasting peace and security in the region."
European Union - Commission
Javier Solana, High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy, Secretary-General of the Council of the European Union, called Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni "to condemn the attack" and offer his condolences to the victims' families and Israeli leaders.
According to a spokesman, French President Nicolas Sarkozy condemned what he called a "cowardly and barbarous" act.
Chancellor Angela Merkel was "devastated" by the attack and condemned it "in the strongest terms," a government spokesman said. She had phoned Olmert to ask that he convey her condolences to the families of the victims.
Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier: "Today's attack in Jerusalem fills me with abhorrence. I condemn this criminal act in the strongest terms. Our thoughts are with the victims' families at this difficult time."
According to a spokesman, Foreign Minister George Koumoutsakos said that Greece "expresses its indignation and categorically condemns the terrorist attack on a religious school in Jerusalem. While being aware of the difficulties for both sides, we encourage the continuation of their efforts for peace and a better future for the region."
"We condemn the mindless terrorist attack on the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva in West Jerusalem last evening in which eight innocent young Israeli lives were lost and several others injured. Terrorism in any form cannot be tolerated." -- Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"I am horrified by the attack on the religious school in Jerusalem last night in which eight young students were brutally killed and many others injured. Our thoughts today are with the families of the victims."-- Minister for Foreign Affairs Dermot Ahern.
"We condemn the mindless terrorist attack on the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva in West Jerusalem last evening in which eight innocent young Israeli lives were lost and several others injured. Terrorism in any form cannot be tolerated." -- Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi condemned the "cowardly" attack, while appealing to Olmert to continue efforts for peace with the Palestinians, which he called "the most effective response to those who oppose dialogue."
"Japan strongly condemns the terrorist shooting attack in Jerusalem. It is extremely regrettable that such an incident occurred at a time when both parties are making efforts for peace building. They need to prevent a potential chain reaction of violence caused by this incident. Japan calls strongly on all sides concerned to show restraint." -- Foreign Minister Masahiko Komura
"The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maxime Verhagen, has strongly condemned the attack by a Palestinian gunman on a Jewish seminary in Jerusalem on 6 March, in which eight students were killed. The gunman was shot dead by an Israeli soldier. The Minister also rang his Israeli counterpart, Tzipi Livni, to express his condolences. The Minister said that there could be no excuse for such an appalling attack on innocent civilians, adding that Israel had the right to defend itself against terrorism. He pointed out that Israeli measures should however be proportional and spare civilians." -- Ministry of Foreign Affairs
"I strongly condemn yesterday's terrorist attack on the Israeli students in Jerusalem. I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to their families." -- Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre
PolandThe MFA of the Republic of Poland, "in the strongest possible terms condemns the terror attack on a Jewish seminary Merkaz Harav yesterday, which resulted in eight casualties and many others seriously injured. We truly sympathize with the families who lost their loved ones and we extend our deepest condolences to everyone concerned. We would like to wish all the injured a quick recovery. The ruthless violence which we face in the Middle East calls for all the condemnation and rejection by those who share the ideas of a peaceful cohabitation of the Palestinian and Jewish nations, in the Middle East. Terrorists and extremists aim at the very heart of the peace process; they try to impose hatred and violence. They fight against the vision of security, decent life and steady development of Jewish community and an independent Palestine. The current situation calls for all determination, at both sides, and takes all the support from the worldwide community, in order to win with those aiming at destruction of the idea of a peaceful cohabitation in the Near East. We thus appeal to both sides of the conflict, in the name of respect for those innocent victims, not to leave a track for compromise. We would like to encourage even more determination towards a political closure of the conflict. The tragic death of many innocent people in the last days proves that there are no violent or imposed solutions in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."
"Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had a telephone conversation with the head of the Israeli Foreign Ministry Tzipi Livni on March 7 at the initiative of the Israeli side. Lavrov confirmed Moscow's condemnation of the terrorist attack in Jerusalem and recognition of Israel's right to protect the life and security of its citizens.
"The fatal shootings in Jerusalem are an unacceptable terrorist attack and I condemn them in as strong terms as they have been condemned by the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and others. Terrorist attacks targeted at innocent civilians can never be accepted. There is a risk that this attack will lead to a further escalation of violence." -- Minister for Foreign Affairs Carl Bildt
"Switzerland has learnt with shock of the attack on a Jewish rabbinical seminary in the Kiryat Moshe quarter in west Jerusalem on Thursday evening, killing eight students and injuring many more. Switzerland strongly condemns this attack of terror against innocent civilians and expresses its condolences to the relatives of the victims." -- Ministry of Foreign Affairs
A statement of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that terrorism has no religion, nationality or geography, indicating that it was a crime against humanity. The statement said real target of the recent terrorist attack, which claimed lives of innocent people, was in fact the endeavors to maintain peace and noted that the "best response against such kind of provocations is to record progress on Annapolis process. Turkey sincerely wishes such heinous attacks to further strengthen firmness and will of the parties to restore peace. Turkey will continue its active contributions to the efforts to find a fair and permanent solution on the basis of two states that would live side-by-side."
United Kingdom
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown: "This is clearly an attempt to strike a blow at the very heart of the peace process. I think it's very important to emphasise that those people who want to stop the peace process should be stopped from doing so by the combined determination of the whole world."
United Nations
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon strongly condemned the shooting, calling it a "savage attack." In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Ban deplored the deliberate killing and injuring of civilians and offered his condolences to the families of those killed: "The Secretary-General is deeply concerned at the potential for continued acts of violence and terrorism to undermine the political process, which he believes must be pursued to achieve a secure and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians, based on a two-State solution."
UkraineA Foreign Ministry statement condemned the terrorist attack: "We consider unacceptable extremist actions that take away every person's most precious thing: a right to life," the ministry said in the statement. Ukraine confirms its consistent stance regarding solving the Palestine-Israeli conflict by exclusively peaceful means: through talks. It calls for patience and preventing further escalation of violence […]"
United States
President George W. Bush: "This barbaric and vicious attack on innocent civilians deserves the condemnation of every nation. I have just spoken with Prime Minister Olmert to extend my deepest condolences to the victims, their families, and to the people of Israel. I told him the United States stands firmly with Israel in the face of this terrible attack."
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice: "I spoke with Foreign Minister Livni to express my condolences to the people of Israel and the families of the victims of the attack tonight against rabbinical students at the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva in Jerusalem. We hold all citizens of Israel in our thoughts and prayers in this tragic hour. We wish a full and rapid recovery to all those injured. The United States condemns tonight's act of terror and depravity. This barbarous act has no place among civilized peoples and shocks the conscience of all peace loving nations. There is no cause that could ever justify this action."

On the town: Hitch your wagon here
"I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences, gaze at the moon till I lose my senses. Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences. Don't fence me in." -- Cole Porter and Robert Fletcher, 1942.
If you're ever down Waterford way, you'll find that the West commences at the Wagon Wheel Bar & Grill. And while you'd never be fenced in, you could easily lose your senses inside this rustic Old West-themed saloon.
The exterior of the bar is designed to replicate something out of a John Ford western, like "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance." Sturdy posts with western-style Y-shaped supports look ready for "hitchin' up to," and a traditional horseshoe hangs over the entry door with the open end up so the luck can't spill out.
The Wagon Wheel opened in September 2011. Owners John and Judy Smith completely remodeled the interior. "Everything is brand new and built or installed by hand," John said.
A handsome hickory-wood bar stands out against uniquely textured walls that John created using pine branches and tree leaves. Rough-hewed beams and posts, original to the building, lend authenticity to the westward-ho feeling of the place.
The Smiths have done some selective antiquing with genuine rut-worn wagon wheels and other Old West finds on the walls. A raised dining area with smoked white-oak flooring is cleared every Saturday for live music with bands such as Refuge, New Direction and Lake Effect.
Fridays are reserved for acoustic acts like A Guy and his Guitar, Carl Hultman & Barb or Big Dog Acoustics. A DJ plays Tuesday and Thursday nights.
The Wagon Wheel's kitchen produces delicious homemade chow, from John's tender country-style ribs -- marinated and smoked starting on Monday for the Thursday dinner special -- to Judy's hearty soups and scrumptious pies.
The bar attracts a mature crowd. "We get a lot of couples," John said. "They have dinner and a few drinks. It's a nice atmosphere for a night out."
So point your horses south and blaze a trail to the Wagon Wheel Bar & Grill in Waterford. You'll be in for a good time, pilgrim.

Silver to move with the change
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Anything the FED does at this point is entirely reactionary; they are a one-trick pony. China and Russia, along with some second tier players, are creating a new gold standard and the world reserve currency status of the $ is drawing to a close (Saudia Arabia will likely be the pivot point and when it goes to accepting other methods of payment the likes of which Ghaddafi and Saddam Hussein elected to take then you'll know the handwriting IS on the wall) the repatriation of all US debt issues, bonds, treasurys, and of course, dollars is underway now, but this new coalition will put that program on steroids as they move against dollar hegemony.... Britain will very likely leave the US high and dry both politically and economically, as they see that handwritingl. Where gold goeth, silver followeth. I wouldn't be in financials or debt issues for love nor money just now. The situation seems quite precarious.
As further substantiation for what I posted previously, let me suggest that you search for this news story headline:
HSBC says margins to boost Gulf's use of Chinese yuan
Do you perhaps remember during a Congressional hearing when Ron Paul asked Bernookie, "Is gold money?" and Bernookie answered with a flat "NO". Bernookie is the Robber Barons' front man. It is unlikely that they will dispense with their agenda of mass robbery through the mechanism of fiat money. You are totally naïve, or maybe attempting to draw people in to placing their money into PMs before the banksters planned bottom to give them a chance to pry more loose from "weak hands".
If you have what you consider to be the advice of a known expert on the matter, just post the title of the article. Titles cannot be removed by Yahoo's attempts at censorship. Otherwise your declaration is just your opinion, and why should that be believable?
There are rumors that Bernanke's PhD is subject to rescission as his doctoral thesis has been proven to be wrong, which is grounds for such action, and he has done it to himself. That, I think, explains the desire to hand over the reins to another.
What makes you think the FEDis changing its gameplan for gold ?
Jim Sinclair in his most recent King World News article gives similar comments, but he also lacks details of what the Fed HAS or PLANs to do re: reverse their anti-gold $$$ attitudes. But I more believe a Jim Sinclair w/o details vs a MB poster w/o details.
Sentiment: Hold

Breakers more than just Penney
When Perth Wildcats coach Rod Beveridge said his team didn't get beaten by the Breakers but by Kirk Penney on Sunday, it seemed harsh. The implication being that the rest of the Breakers may as well have grabbed some Gatorade and a spot on the pine, while Penney poured in 38 points.
Consider the following: big man Mika Vukona hauled in 10 rebounds, a block and a steal in Game two of the semi. His frontcourt counterpart Gary Wilkinson posted 13 points, six boards and a block. He also shot more than 50% from the floor – hardly along for the ride.
Point guard Kevin Braswell handed out five assists and tallied 16 points at a solid 40% clip. Braswell's fine work in just 28 minutes of play shouldn't be easily dismissed either.
But that's what a good coach will do – convince his deflated squad that Penney beat them on a fortunate offensive night. The kind of night where timely three-pointers land and fouls were called on almost every drive (Penney shot 20 foul shots on the night). He'll likely tell them this won't happen again.
Good luck Rod.
With a capacity crowd anticipated at the North Shore Events Centre this Wednesday, why would you expect any less from the New Zealand captain?
Sydney Kings look like NBL royalty
There was a party like 1996 at the Kingdome Friday night.
The Kings tallied 99 points in a gutsy performance that harked back to the glory days of the club. They defeated Adelaide by nine and put the 36ers playoff hopes on ice.
Sydney seems to have discovered its offensive groove, which hinges on better ball movement. Entry passes came from point guard Luke Martin down into big men Julian Kazzouh and Ben Knight, and then flowed back out to spot up shooters Ben Madgen and Patrick Sanders. Both made key shots, especially in the fourth quarter. Sanders' tenacious rebounding, however, was the hallmark of his play.
Madgen was on fire. He shot 62% from the field, including a stunning 4 of 5 from the three-point line. His final three brought down the house – a beautiful swish from the left corner to put the game out of reach. The crowd sprung from there seats with a roar not heard since the halcyon days of the Nineties. It was special and he knew it, raising a triumphant fist.
While Aaron Bruce and Tom Daly were impressive on the offensive end for the Sixers, the Kings knuckled down on defense. They struggled in the third quarter and even relinquished their lead, but tightened in the final period to force some timely loose balls and steals.
It was refreshing to see this Kings side finally hit its stride and also show some fortitude. It's been a tough season, but with three straight wins things are looking up. The faithful grinned, new supporters celebrated and celebrity fans like Brad Fittler and Erin McNaught danced. Even The Lion mascot took it up a notch, strutting around the cheerleaders in his speedos.
Sydney basketball is back.

Sydney Kings make moves
It's been an eventful few days in hoops, so let's get straight to this week's Starting Five:
1. The Sydney Kings have made two great moves this past week. The first, cutting forward Taj McCullough, who was playing some pedestrian basketball this season. His lack of rebounding, amongst all else, was glaring. McCullough's replacement will be former Memphis Grizzlies swingman Trey Gilder (pictured). The second move – bringing back courtside announcer Rodney O. Sydney may have only a single win but they are officially the best marketed team in the league. Two great moves from the fans' perspective.
2. Kevin Love of the Minnesota Timberwolves is my new favourite NBA player. Love is playing like a man possessed this season, notching averages of 20 points and 15 rebounds a game, but he's also leading the sub-par Wolves with tenacity and hustle. He gives Minnesota a fighting chance every night in a tough Northwest Division.
3. Gary Ervin continues to dominate the NBL with prolific scoring and clutch play. His 31 points and six assists were enough to edge the plucky 36ers Friday.
4. ESPN's Saturday NBA game featured Bill "The Sports Guy" Simmons at the commentary table, and how refreshing was it to hear his insight? Sure, Dan Shulman's Mr. Perfect schtick gets the job done, while Mark Jackson's "Momma, there goes that man!" is entertaining. But sometimes you just want a normal voice with some genuine knowledge. Simmons brought that to the Warriors – Heat contest.
5. Here's hoping someone steps up on Sunday to help Julian Kazzouh with the Kings scoring. Maybe Patrick "The Colonel" Sanders can drop a few. He certainly has shown a nice touch on the pull-up from the wing. The Kings will need something special from their imports – points or otherwise – if the team expects to overcome Ervin's Hawks.
Winder winds up…gone
The Adelaide 36ers, for no logical reason, have released import Craig Winder from the team.
Winder was recruited to the 36ers on the back of a solid NBA DLeague career to be the floor leader for the 36ers this season. And as I've written before, I really like the former Texas Longhorn. He has poise, can shoot, drive and his distribution is on the mark. He also throws a no-look bounce pass like Steve Nash and can soar to the hoop like Kobe Bryant.
So what's the issue?
According to a story about the move on NBL.com.au, Winder brought "great athletic prowess, an outstanding work ethic and was a tremendous teammate in his time with the club."
Again, am I missing something here?
Yes, Adelaide are just 3-6, but there seems to be an alarming trend in the current NBL to pin the blame on imports. Winder wasn't shooting a high percentage (33%), granted, but he was contributing around 10 points and four assists a game. Give the bloke a chance. Eight games into the competition seems a little knee-jerk. Why not release one of your mediocre local players instead?
Anyway, the 36ers have apparently short listed a group of point guards to run the team for the remainder of the season.
Hawks embarrass Kings
The NBL season seems to be hitting its stride folks. Most of the televised games I've seen have been well worth the investment in time, and it's been a while since we could say that!
I really enjoyed the Hawks v Kings at Wollongong last Friday, despite the fact the Kings crumbled in the third quarter. And it didn't help that a host of calls went Wollongong's way. But the Hawks truly outplayed Sydney with their composed half court set-up and tenacious front court defense. The second half differential was 49-21. Yikes.
At least for Kings fans the first half showed glimpses of good things to come.
So, to The Starting Five:
1. Mismatch of the week: Larry Davidson of the Hawks throwing the Kings little Ben Madgen to the floor. Way to pick your fights Larry – the bloke is half your size.
2. Sydney's shown limited offense this season, and yet, they lit it up from the three-point line against Wollongong in the first half (6 of 13). Thank goodness for Julian Kazzouh who helped Kings fans forget any poor shot selection with his superb rebounding.
3. Speaking of The Great Kazzouh: have we seen a more versatile Kings player since Dwayne McClain? He runs, rebounds, drops threes, drives and dunks and lobs in hook shots. He also gives up the ball when teammates are open and hits the boards with determination. Definitely the Kings' best right now.
4. The Hawks' Gary Ervin is as solid a point as there is in the league. His combination of interior drives and perimeter ball-handling fuel the hawks offense. I'm particularly impressed by his balance, especially after the bump or foul. Sometimes he pulls up on a dime and drops an impossibly delicate floater. Great to watch.
5. I really think the NBL needs to address the courtside announcers. This isn't high school guys, can we lose the mid-game commentary that offers absolutely nothing? Basketball fans know the rules, we don't need some punter yelling into a microphone when something good happens – or to tell us to cheer. Footy arenas doesn't do this. Either do cricket stadiums. So why are basketball fans dealt this unprofessional touch?

Pope Benedict says the Catholic Church is "deeply ashamed" of the sex abuse scandals and vows to rid the institution of pedophile priests. Nothing has changed. Benedict conveniently shifts the blame to a few sick individuals but glosses over deeper, uglier truths:
The management hierarchy -- monsignors, bishops, cardinals -- battled tooth and nail for years to cover up these egregious abuses, whether by quietly transferring offenders from parish to parish or using its considerable legal and financial resources to quash inquiries into the truth.
Many times when confronted with allegations of abuse, the church treated victims dismissively, frequently did little to address their concerns and even threatened victims with legal action. Many primates intimately involved in the coverup, such as Cardinal Roger Mahoney of Los Angeles and Cardinal Edward Egan of New York, remain at their posts -- a continuing insult to victims.
To really make amends, the church must issue a genuine, nonlegalese apology to victims, honestly admit the mendacity of higher-ups, hold accountable those who were most responsible and censure those who unceasingly slander victims as opportunists.

Arteriography was first developed in the laboratory on amputated limbs, cadavers, and on animals. In 1931, Dos Santos1 demonstrated that it was feasible in the living patient. Clinical arteriography was chiefly of academic interest prior to the refinement of arterial surgery, arterial grafting, and thromboendarterectomy. This is no longer the case, since lesions formerly considered inaccessible are presently treated successfully by the surgeon.Arteriography has become a most valuable and vital adjunct to the work-up of the patient with advanced peripheral vascular disease. Patients with lesions that are amenable to surgery fall into two groups: those with intermittent claudication and those with gangrene. Of the former group, most of them can be aided by direct arterial surgery. In the latter group, it has been estimated that at least 25% of limbs threatened with major amputation may be salvaged by arterial surgery.The history and physical examination as always

Coming In 2016!
Fiction and Games
Out Of Print Titles:
Dangerous Religion (Dubsar House, 2004)
Brendan Myers is the author of sixteen books in philosophy, environmental ethics, history of ideas, spirituality, urban fantasy fiction, and game design.
After earning his Ph.D in philosophy from the National University of Ireland, Galway, Myers' ideas have been featured by the Pacific Business and Law Institute, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency, the BC Civil Liberties Association, and the Order of Bards Ovates and Druids. He's run two successful fundraising campaigns on Kickstarter, chaired a labour union, presented a TED talk, and hunted for fairy tales in seven European countries.
Originally from Elora, Ontario, Brendan now serves as professor of philosophy at CEGEP Heritage College, in Gatineau, Quebec. Through his publishing imprint, Northwest Passage Books, Brendan also provides self-publishing assistance and business ethics consulting services to private clients.
Aside from all those formalities: Brendan also plays guitar, brews his own mead, and sometimes still reads children's books. He lives in a library, next door to a forest.
"Myers' analysis confronts our very raison d'etre against our uncertain times. He asks the questions that most prefer not to ask."
~ Michael York, Professor of Theology, Bath Spa University.
Brendan "Cathbad" Myers is a dangerous man. Not only can he think clearly and creatively about some of the most important issues of our time, but he argues passionately and poetically about the need to challenge the dominant paradigms that rule our world."
~ Isaac Bonewits, author and founder of Arn Draiocht Fein.

TNT (Sun., Feb. 17, 8 P.M. ET)
Ah, now this is what a miniseries should be: a lavish pageant, full of grandiloquent actors, fabulous costumes and magnificent architecture, all put in service to intrigue, power, romance and hints of the ever-popular kinky royal sex.
Catherine (Julia Ormond) is born to a minor German prince. She is 16 when she and her mother (Marthe Keller) are brought to St. Petersburg by the Empress Elizabeth (Vanessa Redgrave). Catherine marries the feebleminded Peter (Reece Dinsdale), heir to the Russian throne, and the mini, which concludes Monday night, follows Catherine until she deposes Peter and is crowned Czarina in 1762.
Christopher Plummer, Franco Nero, Mark Frankel and Maximilian Schell also star in this gilt-bedecked extravaganza, filmed in and around Leningrad. While the writing tends to be stiff, the spectacle is overwhelming.

Tags: 5 faces, chance, improvements, php, random
Well, I had some spare time today so I played around with rotating sidebars. Pure hardcoding, no plugins. Booyeah. Once you empty your browser's cache you'll see the changes.
The coding uses PHP's rand() function… which often doesn't appear to be truly random when the variables are relatively limited. In this case, there are only 5 images to randomize, so while it's mathematically random, psychologically it doesn't always appear that way.
Below are the 5 images that I'm using "temporarily".

The Thanksgiving Report: A Pie Breakfast
Pie Bakeoff really inspired us all this past month. I have been realizing specifically how good pie is as a make-ahead breakfast or dessert. So I made a crustless leek and chard tart and my own recipe for apple-blackberry-ginger pie. I made both of these the night before, and all that was left on the morning of (while I was also running around doing things for Thanksgiving dinner) was to warm the tart in the oven and put out fruit, coffee, and juice.
The recipes I used: • Leek and Swiss Chard Tart (sans crust) at Epicurious • Apple-Blackberry Pie with Ginger What did you do for Thanksgiving breakfast? Do you have any traditions for breakfast on Thanksgiving or Christmas? Related: Thanksgiving Morning: What's Your Tradition? (Images: Faith Durand; tart image by Jeff Sarpa for Bon Appétit)

Battery life is always going to be the major issue we run into when we are dealing with our portable devices. The batteries in our devices nowadays keep getting better and better, but it is when we have to found a power outlet to charge them, is when it can get really frustrating. Well a 18 year-old girl has something to say about that.
Eesha Khare of Saratoga, California, just won a $50,000 prize Friday at an international science fair for designing an energy storage device that will be capable of getting a full charge in 20 to 30 seconds. This device is called a supercapacitor, and it is able to pack a lot of juice in a small space. The device also charges super quickly, and will hold a charge for a very long time. Normal batteries can withstand about 1,000 recycled charges in its lifespan, and the supercapacitor is able to hold about 10,000. Motorola and Samsung should be knocking on this teenager's door right about now.
Now she had just won this award, so it will be awhile before any company decides to write her a fat check and implement this technology in their products. It would certainly be very nice to only have to plug in our devices for 20 seconds, instead of waiting about 2 hours to get a full charge. I still find it amazing that a 18 year-old came up with this, and the countless other brainiacs out there that work within the OEMs have not. Let us know what you guys think.

The mood had lightened by the time the Syracuse Crunch's team meeting rolled around on Thursday morning, which was probably inevitable considering the dark storm clouds that swept through the War Memorial in its loss to Binghamton the night before.
Syracuse coach Ross Yates, who normally only goes out on limbs as solid as an oak tree, even tried to boost his team with a little prediction.
"I told them this morning, I honestly believe Toronto is not going to win both games this weekend,'' he said. "Concentrate on winning our game, and hope that's enough.''
Yates said he watched the game-tying goal by Bingo several times. He then diagrammed the improbability of it.
The Sens' Mattias Karlsson shoots from the right point, but shaded toward the slot. Karlsson is a left-handed shot, which means he doesn't have a very wide shooting angle. The puck hits the boards behind goalie Kevin Lalande's left.
If you can see this in your mind, you'd probably guess the angle of the rebound would not go much to the right, more maybe straight out into the back of the net. But the puck deflects very sharply to the right, landing on the right side of Lalande for Smith to pick up and put in. Yates wasn't talking anything away from Binghamton, just that if you recreated that scenario 100 more times the puck may not take the same bounce again.
- So how's that for two killer home losses to the Sens in one year? The other, of course, was the one on Nov. 23, otherwise known as the contest where Columbus thought it'd be a good idea to make Dan Smith a healthy scratch. Syracuse lost on a last-second power play goal to see its home winning streak snapped.
- It was an optional skate on Thursday, so most of the vets did not skate. Yates wasn't revealing the chances of Mike York returning from his knee injury in time for the two Amerks games.
- Dan LaCosta skated but Kevin Lalande did not, which may be a small hint that Lalande will start on Friday.
Remember when LaCosta returned from Columbus and he got ill? The initial thinking was that he had the flu. Turns out it was way worse - spinal meningitis. He said there are two type of that disease, and he had the less serious form.
He's better now, but not necessarily sharp. Since Feb. 11, he's seen action in just 10 games.
"It's in the back of your mind a little bit, just the fact we need to win right now. You are worried about being rusty,'' he said. "If you get the chance, you have to be ready. When you go out there, you can't make excuses.''
- Manitoba's Cory Schneider was named the AHL's goalie of the year on Thursday. The Crunch has to hope he shows that form in Toronto on Friday.

HOLLAND TOWNSHIP — For 31 years, Bill Driesenga has been Holland Township superintendent.
That changes at the end of December, when he retires. Taking over Jan. 1 as the township's chief administrator is Assistant Superintendent/Finance Director Don Komejan, with Melissa Whitney to become finance director.
"With Bill staying on until the end of the year, it gives us an opportunity to do a smooth transition in administration," Komejan said.
In addition to 16 years with the township, Komejan was with the city of Zeeland for 19 years as assistant treasurer, assistant finance director and assistant personnel director.
The Holland Township native and Zeeland High School graduate has a bachelor's degree in administration from Grand Valley State University.

Ireland denied by precipitation
Keep up to date with all of the action from the 2012 World Twenty20 with exclusive reports & reaction plus previews, features, video highlights and photos
Ireland crashed out of the World Twenty20 at the first hurdle after their clash with West Indies was abandoned due to torrential rain.
West Indies, who won the toss, restricted their opponents to 129 for six either side of a shower in an encounter reduced to 19 overs per side.
Yet Ireland were not given the opportunity to defend that total as the heavens opened once again.
That meant the Windies reached the Super Eights - in which they will face England on Thursday - at the expense of the minnows after both were comfortably beaten by Group B winners Australia earlier in the competition.
Ireland got off to the worst possible start as, like the match against the Aussies, they lost skipper Will Porterfield to the innings' first delivery; he was bowled by a vicious Fidel Edwards inswinging yorker.
Paul Stirling looked set to lead a fightback as Ireland reached 33 for one prior to the first interruption, striking with freedom through the off side.
When play resumed, West Indies introduced mystery spinner Sunil Narine, who duly beat Ed Joyce's edge twice with off-breaks before turning one the other way to bowl the left-hander.
Stirling tamely top-edged a pull off Darren Sammy to square-leg, after which Gary Wilson and the O'Brien brothers – Niall and Kevin – resisted.
Wilson impressed with 22 before edging behind off Chris Gayle, who then bowled Niall O'Brien after the wicketkeeper-batsman had hooked Andre Russell for six.
Kevin O'Brien fell to Ravi Rampaul having launched Edwards over mid-off for six, while Trent Johnston and Nigel Jones struck a maximum apiece in taking Ireland to their eventual total. That may have provided a test for West Indies, but rain denied us an opportunity to find out.

text: That depends on what kinds of foods that person is eating. Macronutrient ratios are a vague guideline at best. The 2/3s of that diet that comprise carbs and fats could easily be had from bread and canola oil. Someone eating white rice and sweet potatoes, and coconut oil and EVOO and animal fats would fare a whole lot better. In fact, I believe that with the right foods and micronutrients, 33/33/33 is a completely doable ratio.

Great way for me to begin the season with Skate America - my 20th Skate America. Looks like it will be a great event. Love the Seattle area. Looking forward to seeing Evan compete again, and Davis & White's FD, as well as Weaver/Poje. Ashley Wagner, Jeremy Abbott, Denney & Coughlin and Donlan/Speroff as well as a number of other international skaters. This is an important season leading up to Sochi. Wish all the skaters good luck.
