"Mom tells a funny story," he said, "that when I was a baby I would cry when she would change the channel from Julia Child."
He would follow that drive to become a professional cook, first in the Marine Corps, then at the Culinary Institute of America and years of working in restaurant kitchens.
Later in life, he would fall in love with poetry, too, writing his own and starting a small poetry press called BlazeVox. He got involved in the Buffalo poetry community, but he wasn't a huge fan of poetry readings, as such.
"Poetry readings can be rather dull. It feels almost like you're getting a sermon at church," Gatza said. He noticed, over time, that "a lot of the fun takes place after the poetry reading, when we'd go out to a bar and have some fun. A lot of the happiness of the poetry reading happened after the event."
It clicked for Gatza in 2009. Michael Kelleher, who was then director of Just Buffalo Literary Center, asked if he would cook for a literary event. The budget for ingredients wouldn't be much – about $100 – but maybe Gatza could see how far that would go in sating 75 to 100 people.
The idea, Gatza said, was to "change up the idea of a poetry reading, so you'd get more than just your die-hard poetry fans."
Gatza quickly warmed to the culinary challenge, and the Just Buffalo Big Night series was born. In 25 events since, Just Buffalo has welcomed participants to an evening of "poetry, food, music, visual art, film, video and whatever else we can think of," as Kelleher put it.
At $5 for admission, it's one of the classiest meals, dollar-for-dollar, in the Nickel City. (The next Big Night is at 8 p.m. Saturday at 468 Washington St.)
Using his restaurant-level menu writing skills and his penchant for bargain-hunting, Gatza puts out a buffet of snacks, salads, main dishes and desserts that gets rave reviews. Besides a seafood option, it's largely vegetarian and vegan cuisine, which fits his customers just fine. "The audience is predominately artsy and there's a lot of vegans in the crowd," he said. "The meat eaters don't care. They're just happy to taste everything."
Poetry, plus cooking for a crowd – among Big Night's successes, has made Gatza one of the happiest cooks in town.
"It makes people feel warm and comfortable, as opposed to being sermonized to," said Gatza. "When you're having a drink and meeting people over some food, it's no longer the dour 'We're having a literary moment' and more of a joyous occasion. It makes me so happy to blend these two things together."
So how does he satisfy a party of 75 for $100?
"My trick is, I buy what's really cheap and make it work," he said. He goes shopping, and sees how far the money will go in getting the best fruit, vegetables and other ingredients. Then he tackles the creative challenge of writing those ingredients into a menu he can prepare over three days, with nothing that needs to be cooked at the last minute.
He starts at discount grocer Aldi's for the basics. "Buy boxes of pasta there, eggs, milk, vegetable oil," he said. He'll also buy certain Aldi's prepared foods with no shame, like its mini-eclairs, $4 a box. "A lot of their stuff is top-notch," he said. "Those eclairs are real pate a choux and whipped cream. I couldn't make it for what they're selling it for."
He usually hits Guercio's on Grant Street for deals on vegetables, and also stops at Super Bazaar, the Amherst Pakistani-Indian grocery at Sheridan and Bailey. There he reaches for spices and Indian snacks – "most of the audience has never had them before, and it's a good thing that throws them off what they're used to," said Gatza. "Minted potato sticks – you'd never think they're delicious, but they're awesome."
So when Gatza got everything home last month, he set about solving his culinary puzzle. Here's what he came up with:
Appetizers: Cornbread with "Welcome Back to Big Night" inscribed in Sriracha chili sauce. Tandoori spiced flatbreads. Crispy Indian peas and potato mint sticks.
Dishes: Pasta salad with tomato basil vinaigrette. Curried potatoes and peas with ginger syrup. (Based on a filling for samosas, fried potato turnovers, the potatoes, with recipe below, are one of Gatza's most popular dishes.)
Sesame ginger roasted beets. Lemon parsley couscous. Ribbons of yellow and zucchini squash with dried cranberries. Black beans with tomato chili salsa. Cinnamon turnips with caramelized onions. Spinach and mushrooms with yellow tomatoes.
And the menu's lone non-vegetarian dish, built around a fish product, mock lobster from Aldi's. Gatza decided to accompany it with roasted, spiced fennel and celery. "Fennel is one of my favorite aromatic vegetables," he wrote. "The fresh snap of the licorice and the light delicate leaves of the herblike tops make for one of the most versatile of flavorings." It also stars cooked celery, he said: "The slow cooking process makes the celery develop a real roundness in flavor."
For dessert, Gatza offered rice pudding with sultanas, New York Macintosh apple crumble, lemon sponge cake with mango gooseberry cream, cantaloupe with lavender syrup, cookies and mini-eclairs.
As usual, Gatza had to-go containers so people could help themselves to leftovers. The crowd almost cleaned the platters.
"Working at a restaurant as a cook, you generally don't get to hear people say 'This was wonderful, I really liked this,' " Gatza said of the event. "People are shaking my hand, asking if I do catering. There's a level of appreciation you don't get if you're in the kitchen dirty and sweaty."
People like that make the work a joy, not a chore, Gatza said. "It's nice because it makes them happy and puts them in an open space to hear the poetry reading or watch a film," he said. "It's a great way to give back to the poetry community that has been very good to me."
Curried Potato and Peas with Ginger Syrup
3 pounds Red Bliss potatoes
1 package frozen peas
1 onion, sliced and caramelized
2 tablespoons madras curry powder
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint,
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Salt, black pepper and nutmeg, to taste
� fresh lemon, squeezed
1 cup ginger syrup, below
6 to 8 tablespoons butter
Place washed potatoes in pot and cover with salted water. Boil the potatoes until they are soft. Drain potatoes and cool for at least two hours. Leave the skin on and cut them into small pieces.
Heat a saut� pan and add 6 to 8 tablespoons of butter. While it melts add madras curry powder and garam masala. Let the spices cook in the butter, and when they are toasted add potatoes. Cook until potatoes are golden and crispy.
Add peas. Let them slowly cook together, and remove from heat. Let mixture cool on a baking sheet. Add caramelized onions. Toss mixture, and add fresh chopped mint, coriander, salt, black pepper and nutmeg. Sprinkle with fresh squeezed lemon juice and ginger syrup, to taste. Serves 8
Ginger Syrup
1 cup sugar
2 ounces fresh ginger root
� cup white wine
Cut unpeeled ginger roughly into 1-inch pieces. (Cut smaller if you prefer a hotter ginger flavor.)
In a saucepan, mix ginger with sugar and white wine. Bring to a boil. Cook for a half an hour on low heat, until it becomes a nice syrup. Strain out ginger and let syrup cool. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Mock Lobster with Fennel and Roast Celery
16 ounces imitation lobster meat, or imitation crab, flaked
2 heads fennel
1 tablespoon sugar
Salt, pepper, to taste
Fresh ground nutmeg, to taste
� teaspoon ground fenugreek
2 tomatoes, diced
1 bunch of celery
1 head garlic
1 cup good olive oil
� fresh lemon
To make garlic oil: Cut garlic head in half lengthwise, leaving skin on. Heat up oil to 175 degrees and add garlic. Remove from heat and cover pot with plastic wrap. Let sit overnight for best flavor. Strain, reserving oil and garlic and refrigerating until ready to use. (Separate roasted garlic from skin, and reserve for another use.)
To pan roast fennel: Trim stalks. Cut off fluffy herb top, chop finely and reserve. Cut bulb into quarters. Carefully remove large root with a diagonal cut. Slice bulb into strips.
Heat a saut� pan, add a tablespoon or two of garlic oil and when hot, add fennel. Toss in oil and then let them sit in the heat without moving them much. This will ensure that they begin to caramelize. Stir after a few minutes.
When they are almost finished, add sugar and season with salt, pepper and fresh ground nutmeg. Let this mixture cook down until the sugars caramelize and a slight syrup has developed. Remove from the heat and let cool down until ready to use.
To roast celery: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut root end off celery and trim leaves. Remove the stalks and wash well. Slice celery (preferably on the bias, to get small arrow shapes).
Place celery in a large bowl, drizzle with garlic oil, and season with salt, pepper, fenugreek and fresh ground nutmeg. Place celery on nonstick baking sheet or tinfoil-lined pan and roast in a 425-degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove and let cool.
To assemble dish: On a serving platter, scatter the diced tomato. Lay down the roast fennel and roast celery. On top arrange the flaked mock lobster in a pleasing way. Sprinkle with chopped fennel leaves and drizzle with garlic oil. Squeeze lemon over the whole dish. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Serves 8.

Create your family's coat of arms
Does your family have an age-old coat of arms?
Would you like to create a contemporary one and have some fun with your family tree?
When MyHeritage.com acquired OSN, we also acquired their popular Family Crest Builder.
It's easy to start creating your family's coat of arms. Go to your MyHeritage family site, click Family Tree, and click Family Crest in the tabs. The new tab is only visible if you have already added people to your tree.
Even if your family isn't descended from a European noble family with a prestigious coat of arms dating to the Middle Ages, you can now design your own and even use it as a background for your tree.
See (below left) some of the Crest Builder elements. At right, see the elements of a traditional coat of arms.
Coats of arms, family crests? What are they? What do those symbols, colors and elements mean?
A traditional coat of arms may include the following elements:
Scroll: A banner or ribbon on which the surname is written.
Crest: A crest is the topmost element of the design.
Helmet: Worn by knights during battles.
Mantle: Placed over the knights' helmet; the colors were important.
Crown: Kept the mantle in place. Some show a wreath instead.
Coat of Arms: The shield with small design elements called charges.
Motto: Some families have a family motto.
Begin by thinking about your family, occupations, special interests, and even colors that might have special meaning to you.
Think about various symbols indicating professions. What's in your background? Are there doctors, farmers, shipbuilders, teachers, writers?
First, choose a shield shape with numerous layout possibilities, including a single field or two or more sections.
Select colors (left) for the internal fields - if you click on the bottom square in the color list you can choose from more colors and shades.
In the Middle Ages, a distinct terminology was developed for describing coats of arms, allowing these historic visual designs to be accurately described and reproduced.
Colors (with their heraldic name) have important meanings in heraldry:
Gold (Or): Generosity; elevation of the mind
Silver or White (argent): Peace, sincerity
Red (gules): Warrior or martyr; Military strength and magnanimity
Blue (azure): Truth, loyalty
Green (vert): Hope, joy, and loyalty in love
Black (sable): Constancy or grief
Purple (purpure): Royal majesty, sovereignty, and justice
Orange (tawny or tenne): Worthy ambition
Maroon (sanguine or murray): Patient in battle, yet victorious
Sometimes drops of color are used within the fields for additional meanings: strong>Yellow = gold, Blue = tears, Green=oil, White = water, Black = pitch or tar, Red = blood.
"Charges" are symbols used in these designs. They include images of people, diverse trade tools, weapons, wild animals, mythological monsters, celestial icons, flowers, trees, castles, towers, food, household items, birds, fish, ships and more. These elements stood for the occupation, hopes, ambitions of the person for whom the complete design was created.
The Crest Builder also features various symbols (charges) to bracket your shield (such as dragons or lions), smaller or "charges" to place within the shield's sections, banners or "scrolls" for your surname to place under the crest and more.
I found an authentic crest for TALAYA, one of our variant spellings. It is a tower of gold on silver rocks ... not bad!

When Your Child Has Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA)
When Your Child Has Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA)
|Normal joint
Your child has been diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). This means that the lining of one or more of the child's joints is inflamed, causing pain and swelling. JRA affects children between the ages of 1 and 16. Most often, it develops in children under age 5. JRA is a chronic condition, meaning that there is no cure. But the symptoms of the condition can be managed to help the child live a normal life. A child with JRA may be referred to a pediatric rheumatologist (doctor who treats musculoskeletal disorders, including arthritis, in children) or to a pediatric orthopaedist (doctor who treats bone and joint problems in children).
What Causes Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis?
JRA is an autoimmune disease. With this type of disease, the body's immune system (system that fights infection) starts attacking the body's own cells. Why this happens is not understood. JRA tends to run in families. And girls develop JRA twice as often as boys.
What Are the Symptoms of Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis?
|Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
JRA has flare-ups and remissions. This means that the symptoms come and go over time. Symptoms may include:
Swollen, stiff joints, especially after waking from sleep.
Sore or painful joints, often knees or joints in the hands or feet.
When the disease first appears, the child may have systemic (whole body) symptoms. These can include a fever that spikes and then goes down, a pink rash that comes and goes, and swollen lymph nodes.
How Is Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis Diagnosed?
The doctor will examine the child. He or she will also ask about the child's health history and symptoms. For a diagnosis of JRA, joint swelling or pain must last for at least 6 weeks at a time.
There is no one test to diagnose JRA. But certain tests can be helpful with the diagnosis:
An x-ray or bone scan looks for changes in bones or swelling in joints.
Blood tests are sometimes done to check for certain "markers" (signs) of the disease. Blood tests can also rule out other conditions that may cause joint pain.
Other tests may be done to rule out other possible conditions.
An eye exam is done when JRA is diagnosed. JRA can affect the eyes, so the child's eye health will need to be monitored regularly.
How Is Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis Treated?
A team of healthcare providers is often involved in treating JRA. This team may include the child's pediatrician or family doctor, an orthopaedist, a rheumatologist, and others. The goal of JRA treatment is to control symptoms and prevent damage to the joints. Treatment options include one or more of the following:
Exercise: Staying active helps maintain healthy muscles. It also helps keep good range of motion in the joints. During flare-ups, pain may limit activity. Also, certain activities should be avoided during flare-ups to protect the joints. Your child's doctor can discuss this with you.
Medications taken regularly to prevent and control symptoms include:
NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs): These include aspirin, ibuprofen, and other medications that are available over the counter. The doctor will prescribe the dose. (NOTE: Do not give aspirin to a child with a fever.)
DMARDs (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs): These may be prescribed if NSAIDs do not relieve symptoms of JRA. DMARDs slow the progression of JRA. However, they take weeks or months to relieve symptoms. Because of this, they are often taken along with an NSAID.
Corticosteroid medications taken during flare-ups:
Range-of-motion exercises help your child's joints stay flexible.
Fluid is removed from the joint, followed by an injection of corticosteroid medications into the joint.
Oral or IV corticosteroid medications to help control severe symptoms: Corticosteroids shouldn't be used for long periods or stopped suddenly. So you will be given specific instructions about how these medications should be taken and how to safely reduce the dose.
Physical therapy: A program of regular exercises, joint movement, and massage may help relieve symptoms and prevent flare-ups. You and your child will work with a physiatrist (rehabilitation specialist) or a physical therapist to design this program. During flare-ups, physical therapy can help relieve symptoms.
Splinting: A splint worn over the affected joint may help protect the joint and relieve symptoms. If a splint is prescribed, it is usually worn only at home so the child doesn't have to feel "different" in school or at play.
What Are the Long-Term Concerns?
A child with JRA needs regular monitoring throughout childhood to help prevent problems. This includes regular eye exams and monitoring of the kidneys. The healthcare team will watch for growth problems in the affected joints. And the affected joints need continued checkups throughout the child's life. Damage to the joint may eventually lead to the need for a joint replacement. Good management of symptoms and physical therapy can help the child avoid this damage.
Coping with JRA
JRA can affect the child's progress in school and social development. It also may affect other members of the family. To help make things easier:

Solutions for Chapter U5P5 Problem 7E
Mass is measured by balancing an object against a standard mass.
Even though looking similar and often confusing mass and weight are different. Mass is the quantity of matter possessed by an object whereas weight is caused by the pull of gravity on the mass of an object. The mass of an object remains constant when the object is moved away from the earth. The weight of an object depends on the distance of the object from the center of the earth. Greater the distance, smaller will be the weight. If an object is far away from the center of the earth, it becomes weightless. But the quantity of matter possessed by the object (mass) remains the same.
There is difference in the way they measure too. Weight is measured by putting a scale between the object and the center of the earth and letting the gravity pull the object down on the scale.

WASHINGTON -- Opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi urged supporters to attend another rally against the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, despite deadly attempts from the government to stop previous protests.
Via his profile on the social networking site Facebook, Mousavi revealed, "There will be another peaceful demonstration in Tehran to honor the martyrs on Thursday. Please update us with your 'Solidarity' events around the globe on Thursday."
Technology has played a large role in Mousavi's campaign as well as coverage of the post-election protests.
Eyewitnesses in Iran say riot police have attacked hundreds of election protestors with tear gas.
Grainy photos and videos from cell phones show police and militia dispersing a large crowd that gathered, Monday, in Tehran's public square.
Click play to watch John Jessup's report, followed by analysis from Michael Ledeen of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Ledeen has done extensive coverage on Iran and says the recent protests have "certainly frightened" the regime, but it's still unclear if they will make a great impact.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard have threatened to crush any further opposition protests. They say they will confront demonstrators if they take to the streets again.
The warning came after a weekend of massive protests and violent crackdowns that pushed the official death count to at least 17.
Mousavi vowed to keep up the fight -- disputing the results of Iran's June 12 elections. His claim that the vote was rigged in favor of Ahmadinejad prompted Iran's Guardian Council to investigate.
It now concedes there were irregularities in 50 cities, where the number of votes cast was far more than the number of registered voters, affecting the tally by as much as 3 million votes.
But the council insists no laws were broken and says the voting problems don't affect Ahmadinejad's win.
Defiant Mousavi supporters want to keep up the momentum but they are challenged with concerns for the safety of the protestors. At least 10 people died in clashes Saturday and nearly 460 were arrested that day alone.
But the demonstrations aren't limited to the streets of Tehran.
From California to the nation's capital, people marched in a show of solidarity for Mousavi supporters.
"My heart is with them. I wish I was there. I wish I could participate in the streets of Tehran," one protestor said.
"Freedom for the people. The right to vote. The right to have a fair election," another protestor said. "The things that we sometimes take for granted in this country, they're dying for . People my age, 24 years old, losing their lives," she added.
The unrest is fueling harsh attacks from some Republicans that President Obama should take a tougher stand.
"Now, I'm not for sending arms. I'm not for fomenting violence, nothing except to say that America's position in the world is one of moral leadership," Sen. John McCain R-AZ, said.
"He's been timid and passive more than I would like and I hope that he will continue to speak truth to power," Sen. Lindsey Graham R-SC, said on ABC's This Week.
"He's the President of the United States, not a member of the Senate or a columnist. He's got a very delicate path to walk here. I think he's been strong. You don't want to take ownership of this," Sen. Chris Dodd D-Conn., said on ABC's This Week.
Meanwhile, some analysts see a silver lining in the election fallout.
"And in a way, the regime could lose by winning," Karim Sadjadpour with Carnegie Endowment for International Peace said. "What I mean by that is if they continue to clamp down with overwhelming force, they're losing legitimacy by the day."
And that's good news for other Arab states in the Middle East.
They see a potential collapse of the regime as ultimately undermining Iran's history of meddling in the affairs of other government in the region by supporting radical groups like hamas and Hezbollah.

United States, in the wake of a failed Christmas terrorist attack on
an airline headed to Detroit, Michigan, is looking to step up airport
security. In particular, it is considering adopting
on a broader scale 3D scanners which are currently being tested
at select airports across the U.S. Other countries, including
Great Britain are also considering adopting the devices.Two
technologies currently are competing in the full body scan arena,
each with unique problems. The first technology, used slightly
more heavily in the U.S. is millimeter wave scanning. There are
numerous concerns about the technology including recent studies that
showed it could
cause DNA damage (which could increase the risk of cancer),
inefficiency at detecting contraband placed at the genitals (they are
obscured in the image, typically), and reports that the scanners are
capable of storing images and transmitting them -- raising privacy
concerns.The second most prevalent technology is backscatter
X-Rays. The chief technology in Britain and also put in use at
some American airports, this technology also has numerous concerns.
It is even less effective and detecting contraband as it depends on
contrast with the skin -- so items smuggled in clothing lifted off
the body surface aren't typically shown. There are similar DNA
damage concerns and privacy issues as well. And both
backscatter X-Rays and millimeter waves have been shown to not always
detect low density materials like liquids, plastics, or powders,
raising the possibility of explosives
or plastic weapons escaping the scans.Despite the
abundant concerns, Britain has issued a sharp
ultimatum to travelers -- no scan, no fly. Transport
Secretary Lord Adonis, a member of the ruling Labour Party proposed
the rules which first will go into effect at Manchester and Heathrow
airports. He writes, "If a passenger is selected for
scanning, and declines, they will not be permitted to fly."He
adds, "The code will require airports to undertake scanning
sensitively, having regard to the rights of passengers."Despite
the numerous concerns, the head of customer experience at Manchester
airport, Sarah Barrett states, "It will enhance security for
everyone, which can only be a good thing, without compromising
people's privacy. The image generated by the body scanner
cannot be stored or captured nor can security officers viewing the
images recognize people."The British government and U.S.
governments claim the scanners obscure genitalia. However, the
accuracy of those claims are being questioned after the Australian
government -- also testing the scanners -- admitted that it unblurred
the genitalia to increase the accuracy of the devices.
Admitted Australia's Cheryl Johnson, general manager of the Office of
Transport Security, "It will show the private parts of people,
but what we've decided is that we're not going to blur those out,
because it severely limits the detection capabilities."Amid
numerous concerns -- privacy, health risks, and inefficiency --
governments have to decide whether to try to charge ahead with the
unproven and potentially damaging technology -- or to wait until it
is sufficiently refined and improved. Most world governments
seem to be opting for the latter approach, throwing caution to the
wind. While the new scanners may not necessarily increase
security significantly, they may at least offer people the illusion
of safety at the airport, albeit at the cost of privacy and health
risks. And perhaps that's worth the high taxpayer expenses as
Britain rolls out its new policy and the U.S. considers similar
quote: All that we have to do is to send two mujahedin to the furthest point East to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al-Qaeda, in order to make the generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic, and political losses without their achieving for it anything of note other than some benefits for their private companies.
quote: Rather, the policy of the White House that demands the opening of war fronts to keep busy their various corporations – whether they be working in the field of arms or oil or reconstruction – has helped al-Qaeda to achieve these enormous results.

Kihei Community Garden
The four main islands of Hawaii are home to over one million people! While many dream of this as an abundant paradise, the unfortunate reality is that over ninety percent of the goods in Hawaii are imported. Contrasting ancient records where is it thought that the four main islands sustained close to the current population of a million people with no outside contact. The Kihei Community Garden on the island of Maui seeks to be a public space for students and the community to learn together how to become more self-sustaining. Students alongside with local Kupuna (a Hawaiian Elder), local garden network mentors will be working to grow an existing space of 3 acres (130,000 sq. ft.). Goals for the project is to create a food forest, experimental gardens, and regular harvests to support the school salad bar, and a monthly farmers market stand. The food forest will provide shade for the garden, and fruit for the market. In the experimental gardens, students will run independent experiments testing best practices for vegetable and fruit production in Kihei. The salad bar at school will help to reinforce local self-sufficiency practices, showing students it is possible to eat local. Finally, the garden seeks to be financially self-sustaining as well, and that is why our last goal is to regularly have a harvest large enough to sell at a monthly farmers market on island. Maui, and Hawaii at large has one of the most favorable growing environments possible. The funding of this grant request will allow students to work side by side with community members of both traditional Hawaiian knowledge, and local horticultural knowledge to realize the production potential of our 'aina (land).

It's going to be awfully tough for Robert Griffin III to get back to his 2012 form if he can't get off his own.
Justin Tuck sacked Griffin a career-high four times, as the Giants stifled Washington's early momentum and came from behind to record a 24-17 victory at FedEx Field on Sunday night.
In what was mostly a tale of two halves, Washington's last push for a comeback culminated in one of the strangest sequences in recent memory. After Griffin completed what looked to be a four-yard pass on a 2nd-and-5 situation with under two minutes remaining, the on-field officials strangely signaled for a first down as the Redskins, who were without timeouts, rushed to the line.
Shanahan on that last sequence: "Well, I said I wanted a measurement and he said, 'You don't have to, it's a first down.'"— Chris Burke (@ChrisBurke_SI) December 2, 2013
Their subsequent play resulted in an incompletion, but rather than give Washington a second down at its own 45-yard line, the officials reverted their initial call and mandated the Redskins were instead facing a 4th-and-1. While it was likely the right call, Griffin's pass was a deep ball down the middle to Fred Davis—a call that seemingly indicated the Redskins thought they were in a first-down situation.
Amid the chaos, Pierre Garcon fumbled a six-yard completion on 4th-and-1, giving the Giants the victory. It was a cataclysmic end for Washington in a game Mike Shanahan has to feel his team gave away.
The Redskins went up 14-0 on their opening drive of the second quarter. Griffin found Logan Paulsen from 19 yards out, and suddenly it looked like the rout could be on. Washington was running well on the read-option and designed runs, giving Griffin time to throw in the pocket and generally looking like the team that shocked the NFC East a season ago.
That early pass was about the last time anyone at FedEx Field felt a positive vibe.
While Griffin continued hitting his passes—he went 16-of-17 in the first half, with his only incompletion coming on a pass that traveled more than 50 yards through the air—the Giants were setting their opponent up for the fall. Andre Brown scored his first of two touchdowns from 23 yards out to make it 14-7 with 8:46 remaining in the second, and Eli Manning hit tight end Brandon Myers for a 22-yard touchdown to tie the game at 14-14 just before the half.
After the break, Tuck took over. Constantly getting the better of Redskins right tackle Tyler Polumbus, Tuck matched his 2012 sack total in the second half alone Sunday. He brought Griffin down four times by beating Polumbus in a variety of ways, halting the Redskins offense before it could recapture its first-half momentum.
Griffin went down for five sacks total in the second half and was hit nine times—six times by Tuck. After scoring on two of its first three possessions, Washington managed only a 33-yard Kai Forbath field goal in the second half, one entirely set up by a Manning interception.
Griffin finished by completing 24 of 32 passes for 207 yards, adding another 88 on the ground. But with Redskins receivers dropping accurate throws and their offensive line allowing Griffin to get pummeled, one has to wonder how many points they left on the board.
The Giants, meanwhile, managed to just take advantage of Washington's mistakes and avoid big ones of their own. Their two scoring drives in the second half went only for a total of 86 yards. Manning threw for 235 yards, completing more than 70 percent of his passes (22-of-28) for the second time in three games. Brown could manage only 35 yards on his 14 carries but scored the Giants' go-ahead touchdown in the beginning of the fourth to give them a 21-17 lead.
Neither team has much postseason hope, but New York again proved it could play an interesting spoiler. After starting 0-6, the Giants have now won five of their past six games.
Player Grades
Robert Griffin III (QB, Washington Redskins): A-
Of equal importance: Griffin threw the ball brilliantly. The Redskins offense was filled with the quick, short throws that made Griffin a budding superstar last season, but he also looked very good on the couple times he uncorked the ball downfield.
The question here has never been whether Griffin has the ability to recapture his magic—we've seen enough flashes this season that indicate the talent is still as high as ever. But Griffin's results have varied wildly, to the point where some have wondered whether Washington was better off with Kirk Cousins under center.
The game was essentially split into two halves, but for once it wasn't Griffin's fault. Mike Shanahan hasn't made many correct decisions this season, but Sunday night proved sticking with RGIII was one of them.
Eli Manning (QB, New York Giants): B
Nonetheless, Manning had to feel a sense of relief seeing the Redskins defense on his slate for this week. Washington came into this week as the league's sixth-worst pass defense yardage-wise and ranked No. 25 in Football Outsiders' DVOA metric. Coupled with last week's game against the Cowboys, this has been a nice two-week reprieve for Manning and the Giants, who have faced one of the NFL's most difficult schedules.
Manning responded to the easier competition with a solid outing. There weren't many frills or any reminders that this guy has won two Super Bowls, but his interception only cost the Giants three points and he found a ton of success over the middle.
Justin Tuck (DE, New York Giants): A
Tuck, whose dog-years aging has been one of the root causes for New York's struggles, responded by eclipsing his previous season total in one night. After having a mostly solid first 30 minutes, Tuck and the Giants watched on as the Redskins offensive line disintegrated down the stretch.
The 30-year-old Tuck reminded fans why he was once considered a future perennial Pro Bowler. Those days are probably over at this juncture, but Tuck was nothing short of excellent in the win.
Alfred Morris (RB, Washington Redskins): C-
In particular, Jon Beason made sure Morris' evening was the most disappointing of his season, finishing with a whopping 17 tackles.
This was the second straight nondescript performance for Morris, who had been the one bastion of steadiness during the Redskins' early struggles. The second-year back has accumulated just 78 rushing yards the past two contests after rushing for at least 70 in Weeks 2-11.
What's Next?
Washington will stick around at home next week, where it will host a Chiefs team desperate to get back in the win column. Kansas City dropped its third straight game on Sunday after its 9-0 start. The Giants will play their second straight road game when they travel west to take on the Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium.

BRANCHBURG — The Enactus Team at Raritan Valley Community College is one of 50 groups nationwide selected to participate in the Lowe's Community Improvement Project Partnership. The project is "devoted to developing creative, sustainable programs to improve communities and open spaces while assisting the needy."
Enactus RVCC has developed a program to help people in need grow their own food in conjunction with My Neighbor's Pantry in Zarepath. The garden program is part of a four-year project to benefit 300 struggling families in Somerset and Hunterdon counties.
"We believe that teaching people to grow their own food and adding to their food supply brings them one step closer to self-sustainability," said Enactus president Kevin Turnbull.
The top five Enactus teams in the country will be announced during the program's United States National Exposition in May in Kansas City, Mo.

Take Chasson Randle's running left-handed hook in the midst of heavy contact in the paint, a floater that nearly brought down rain in the Bahamas and found nothing but net. Degree of difficulty for that and-one, on a scale of one to ten: 13.
Or try a pair of Josh Huestis turnaround jumpers, both preceded by professional-quality separation footwork and followed by a sweet swish. Never in doubt.
There was also the time that six-foot-nine freshman Rosco Allen beat the Tigers at their own game, charging back in transition for an easy bucket off the glass, or the moment fellow newbie Grant Verhoeven -- known for his motor in high school -- hurtled in from the baseline to rip an offensive rebound from the air and kick out to Dwight Powell for a smooth trey.
The Bad
But along come Stanford's alarming stretches, the ones that temper the enthusiasm. The primary such time on Thursday was sparked by a lack of physicality inside, one that is especially exacerbated by muscular teams like Missouri, who jumped out to a 28-16 lead by completely choking off the Cardinal's paint and reaching the foul bonus less than four minutes into the contest.
The good news, a byproduct of the beef that Stanford added during the offseason and the influence of assistant coach Mark Madsen (who knows a thing or two about throwing his weight around; he's done so with Shaq), is that these these muscle-lacking bouts don't last as long as they did in 2011. Johnny Dawkins' timely switch to a zone defense -- coupled with Robbie Lemons' three pointer, steal, and hustle basket -- unleashed the Cardinal's physical revenge and a 12-0 run that tied the game at 28. Stanford, despite a lingering muscle disadvantage that comes without the anchor of a sturdy veteran center, was never physically intimidated by the Tigers again.
The Farm Boys battled. They hung in there against the thirteenth-ranked team in the country. They were out-rebounded by a only a respectable margin, 43-39. But that small gap ended up being the difference, because of one simple problem: Stanford -- at least for the moment -- cannot connect from downtown to save its life.
The Ugly
A game after a 2-for-17 three-point shooting drought led to a 70-62 home loss to Belmont, the Cardinal clunked their way to a 6-for-26 long-range exhibition. This group is shooting only 23 percent from downtown on the season. For a guard-oriented team, that's a big problem. It's possible for a club to get away with such inaccurate showings when it has a distinct physicality advantage over its opponent, but that certainly wasn't the case for Stanford against Missouri -- nor will it be the case against a slew of other respectable teams who stand in the way of the program's first NCAA Tournament berth since 2008.
The Tigers, in fact, beat the Cardinal Thursday while shooting even worse than them, registering a 4-for-19 three-point clip and a pedestrian 36.6 percent overall mark from the floor. That goes to affirm that Dawkins' squad will live and die in the tough games by the hot hand from the perimeter. The first two tests have not ended well: they've instead been sullied by abysmal percentages and Aaron Bright's absence (sprained ankle). The junior guard, by the way, is 0-for-12 from downtown so far.
The Hope
It's impossible for a team with a handful of talented perimeter playmakers to stay cold forever, right? Bright's torrid NIT run, just eight months ago, suggests that hotter times lie ahead -- provided that he recovers from his ankle sprain quickly and soundly. That's the hope -- and the key -- for Stanford basketball moving forward.

Hi, how important is a safe dehumidifier? I live in San Jose where humidity is practically non-existent. Should I still have one anyway?
Opinions appreciated.

If your area is dry most of the year, and you use A/C in the summer?
No you probably don't need one.
(No experience with the salt sea air in your area though)
Ideal museum storage conditions are 50% humidity at 70 degrees.
If you are comfortable, your guns should be too.
That doesn't negate the need to keep them wiped down with a Rig-Rag, or Silicone cloth, or something every time you handle them.
Some people have toxic sweat that will rust the chrome off a Harley muffler five minutes after they touch it.
Whether you are one of those or not, wipe them down when you handle them and they won't rust.

If it is a large gun safe I would put a goldenrod unit in it. Low cost insurance.

I went to the craft store and got a box of flower drying crystals. This is perhaps the cheapest way to get silica gel. Six pounds of it cost me under $20. I pour the silica in an oven-safe pie dish (aluminum or Pyrex), because it spreads the silica out over a larger surface area. I then place the dish with the silica in my safe to keep it nice and dry. When I notice the indicator in the silica gel turning from blue to pink, I recharge the silica by simply popping the dish in my oven. The indicator in the gel is more heat sensitive than the silica itself, so I keep the temperature relatively low. To recharge it, I usually bake my silica at 275 degrees Fahrenheit for two hours. As I'm letting the dish with the silica cool after it's been recharged in the oven, I put plastic wrap over the dish so the silica doesn't pick up moisture from the ambient air before I place it back in my safe. How often you have to recharge your silica will depend on the humidity in the air, how airtight the seal on your safe is, and how often you open it.
September 12, 2011, 05:32 PM
Get a hygrometer (humidity gauge), put it in your safe and see if you really need it. If humidity is below 50% or so, you likely do not. A wipe down with oil/silicone is all you need...You can get a hygrometer for under 10 bucks in the thermometer section at places like Walmart.

I live ina very humid area. And I keep my guns in my safe in my garage.
If you keep your guns in your air-conditioned house during the summer and you take them out into hot, humid air, water will almost instantly condense on them (to some degree). This is less likely to happen if they have been in warm air all along.
Humidty is a problem if your firearm is exposed to a rapid temperature change. Avoid that to the extent you can and you will have few issues due to humidity.
I've run into people that swear you shouldn't leave guns in a safe in the garage in humid areas. But I leave my tools, nails, power equipment, etc in the same garage and experience no problems at all with those. And they aren't wiped down with oil like my guns are. In fact, I've never had a corrosion problem with any of my guns that were kept in my safe in my garage, but I have with guns I constantly bring in and out of my house.
September 12, 2011, 07:41 PM
I use silica Gel in my safe as a dehumidifier. I also wipe them down with Rusty's Rags, which put a nice protective layer on my guns.
September 13, 2011, 06:59 PM
Houston is about one of the hottest and most humid major cities in the US, and I have never had a need for a safe dehumidifier. *knock on wood*
Well oiled guns should be highly resistant to rust in the first place, and most people keep their safe indoors where the air-conditioner will ensure that ambient humidity stays around 45% so its a non-issue IMO.
If I were to keep the safe in the garage or something, then by all means.

on October 7, 2012 - 11:54 PM
, updated October 8, 2012 at 12:06 PM
A West Seneca church kicked off a yearlong series of events Sunday to mark the 150th year since its founding by German immigrants.
The celebration comes as many churches across the country have closed amid aging congregations and declining enrollment, but the 800-member Ebenezer United Church of Christ shows no signs of slowing down.
The Main Street church and its adjoining parish hall were a whir of excitement Sunday, as parishioners young and old gathered both to cherish fading memories and to mark new strategies to connect it with the community.
Parishioner Adela Coates has seen the world change a lot in her 92 years. The one constant, though, has been the tiny Ebenezer church, which she joined in 1934.
"I always say, I was born into it," Coates said. "I was baptized here, confirmed, married, and I'll probably be buried from here."
Harold Ulrich, 90, remembers when church services were spoken in German. The church began to form in the 1863, when a group of German immigrants met in their homes to worship and developed plans for building a church. They officially organized on Oct. 1 of that year.
There were trying times, when the church struggled to make ends meet financially. A group of women who attended the church, dubbed the "willing workers," began a fundraising campaign to stabilize the church and raise money for donations to other causes. Those efforts were aided by the "Thursday crew," a group of male parishioners who resolved to complete handyman work around the church to save it from hiring contractors.
Coates remembers the good old days, too, when 300 students packed into religion class each Sunday. Now, the number is closer to 100.
But like church leaders, Coates is heartened by the large eighth-grade religion class and the younger families who came to celebrate Sunday with their children.
In an effort to "equip people to share Christ's love," church leaders have put an emphasis on youth service trips throughout Western New York, across the state and as far away as Mexico.
They have also adopted an inclusive slogan, strung across the parish meeting hall, which reads, "No matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, you're always welcome here."
The trips give the youngsters a sense of self-worth and achievement while connecting them to the larger community, said the Rev. Gary Gossel.
They also allow the church to remain relevant in a changing society.
"Every church is facing a huge amount of change in our culture, in our society," Gossel said, "[and many times] it spirals away from the church. But what I hope happens is we continue to make these connections, that people feel like they belong. [We want to] offer a sense of hope, a sense of love."
The 150th anniversary celebration will run through next October and will include a soup fest on Nov. 18, children's Advent Night on Dec. 1, a Living Nativity on Dec. 16, a "Taste of Ebenezer United Church of Christ" on Jan. 29, a healing service in April and a banquet and other festivities next October. For more information, call Gossel at 674-4566 or visit www.eucc.org

MARTINSBURG - Meeting Tuesday as a committee of the whole, a majority of Martinsburg's City Council members decided not to change the city's ordinances so that several building and development fees could be waived for Habitat for Humanity of the Eastern Panhandle.
In June, G. Edward Grove, executive director of HFHEP, asked council members to waive part of the community development fees for the house on lot 11 in Habitat's Auburndale subdivision off Boston Street, as well as for houses that will be built on lots 12-15.
Martinsburg's community development fee is $1.50 per square foot per floor.
In a letter to the council explaining the reason for the request, Grove wrote, "Because of the nature of the topography and the density of the soil, it is imperative that the foundation be a minimum of seven feet. It is the perspective of our construction supervisor that at this depth it is appropriate to make this space a full basement. However, in doing so, the community development fee is doubled. This additional cost creates a hardship for HFHEP in raising funds."
The square footage for the existing or planned one-story houses on lots 11-15 is 1,020 each, which, at $1.50 per square foot, amounts to $1,530 per house for the community development fee, according to information previously supplied by the city.
The full basement adds $1,530 per house for a total of $7,650 community development fees for lots 11-15.
Grove asked that the community development fees for the basements be waived, not for the ground floor.
Mayor George Karos pointed out that to the best of his knowledge, no fees had been waived for any development.
City Manager Mark Baldwin said that the current ordinance does not allow for fees to be waived.
City Attorney Kin Sayre said the ordinance would have to be amended to allow for fees to be waived.
"The best practice would be to set criteria by amending the ordinance," he said.
While most councilmen said they support Habitat for Humanity, they added that waiving the fees for HFHEP would set a bad precedent and that every nonprofit organization would want fees waived.
Councilman Jason Baker recommended amending the ordinance so that all fees could be waived for federally designated Community Housing Development Organizations.
Martinsburg participates in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's HOME Partnership program, which helps low-income families buy homes. A percentage of the HOME funds must be set aside for CHDOs in Martinsburg.
Habitat for Humanity of the Eastern Panhandle is the only organization in Martinsburg that qualifies as a CHDO under HUD's requirements.
City Council members must approve the HOME program's budget each year, therefore approving the CHDO set aside.
"Make the ordinance that if you're a CHDO, we'll waive the fees," Baker said. "That's the best way of doing it. It gets us to where we want to be."
Sayre said exempting the CHDO in the ordinance would stand up in court.
"Habitat for Humanity is the only certified CHDO now," he said. "You can exempt the classification. That would stand up. Exempting Habitat for Humanity wouldn't stand up."
However, Sayre said that the state Public Service Commission would not allow the city to waive water and sewer hookup fees as Baker wanted.
Other councilmen insisted that waiving the fees would open the door to other nonprofits requesting waivers.
"We're not opening the door to all nonprofits - we're restricting it to the CHDO," Baker said. "Habitat for Humanity is giving housing to people who wouldn't be able to afford it. They're developing property that other developers wouldn't touch, bringing up the tax base."
He and Councilman Kevin Knowles said they favored amending the ordinance to allow waiving some fees for the CHDO.
Councilmen Don Anderson, Gregg Wachtel, Max Parkinson and Roger Lewis said they did not favor amending the ordinance to waive the fees.
Councilman Dennis Etherington was not present, but Karos said he had talked with Etherington before the meeting and Etherington was not in favor of waiving the fees.

If I have to listen to one more person whose never been to Michigan dis Detroit, I'm going to scream. I actually moved here last year over Chicago because I have the opportunity to own a house. Detroit is not why FAs aren't signing. Something is very wrong with this team, be it the team vibe, the coach or management. From what I've heard from insiders (people who actually work with the team) Babcock has lost the locker room. Until we figure out the problem and solve it, there will be rough times ahead. And if the GM can't diagnosis the problem then perhaps he needs a new job.

'Pink Picnic' spotlights breast cancer awareness
The BJ's Wholesale Club on Starling Drive teamed with VCU Massey Cancer Center October 5 to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a "Pink Picnic." The celebration featured speakers such as cancer survivor Kim Newlen and Dr. Gilda Cardenosa (pictured at right, left to right, holding one of Newlen's "props"), director of breast imaging for radiology at VCU Massey Cancer Center. Newlen, creator of the post-surgical camisole Look Better Than You Feel, shared stories of her personal battle with breast cancer and Cardenosa discussed advances in breast cancer treatments and early detection methods.
At the event, BJ's also unveiled the "Pink Ribbon" club merchandise that the store will sell throughout the month of October. A portion of the money BJ's members spend on these "Pink Ribbon" club products will be donated to the BJ's Charitable Foundation, which then will distribute it to 13 National Cancer Institute designated cancer centers, including the VCU Massey Cancer Center. At a luncheon following the event, speakers gathered with BJ's staff members for a photo that included (above, left to right) Joyce E. Major, Ruth A. Zajur, Rosemary (Mimi) Stadie, Carlie Cross, Gilda Cardenosa, Kim Newlen, and Fred Kline.

When the weather outside is frightful, a fire certainly would be delightful -- but not everyone is lucky enough to have a fireplace. Instead, a space heater can offer a supplemental heat source in your home or office. It's important to note that space heaters aren't recommended as your only heat source, but they can be a great way to increase a room's temperature a few degrees or provide warmth in a drafty space without overheating the entire home. Some owners say they also use portable heaters to lower utility bills, but this depends on many factors, like your fuel costs, insulation, how often your space heater is used and more.
Note that this report covers electric space heaters intended for use inside the home. You can also find space heaters fueled by kerosene, natural gas and other combustible fuels. However, those are generally not recommended for use inside the home unless some type of venting to the outside is provided, and many states have banned unvented kerosene heaters for indoor use. For more information, see the section on space heater safety.
There are two basic types of electric space heaters: radiant and convection. Convection heaters -- like convection ovens -- move hot air around to create warmth. A fan blows air across internal heating elements and out into the room. This makes convection units especially effective for warming entire rooms or many people.
Ceramic space heaters are the most popular type of convection space heater. Electricity flowing through wires heats a ceramic element, which in turn heats the air. Almost all ceramic heaters include a fan to distribute the warmed air most effectively.
Some forced air heaters use a non-ceramic heating element to warm the air, and then use a larger, more powerful fan to spread that warmed air over a large area. Their fans can also pull double-duty to help cool rooms in the warmer months.
Convection also comes into play when liquid moves across a heating element. That's why, while it might seem counter-intuitive, oil-filled radiator style space heaters are considered to be convection heaters, even though they lack a fan. Oil filled radiators are slow to warm up, but they keep giving off heat long after they are turned off, making them a good choice for sleeping areas. Some radiator-style heaters use mica panels instead of heated oil to produce heat. These warm up faster than oil-filled designs, are lighter, and are flat enough to mount on a wall. However, they also cool down quickly, losing one of the key advantages of oil-filled radiators.
Radiant heaters, on the other hand, warm people or objects, not the air around them. The heat from these heaters doesn't circulate well and can't be used to warm a whole room, but for fast heat for a short time, they're more efficient than convection heaters. Traditional radiant space heaters are a bit more "old-school" than convection heaters and seem to be falling out of vogue. However, infrared space heaters with quartz elements still have a place where the primary goal is heating a person or a smaller area, and some can do a lot more.
To find the best space heaters, editors considered professional tests, expert reviews and user feedback. ConsumerReports.org has the most comprehensive coverage. Though not completely up-to-date, most of the space heaters covered there remain either current or available at retail. TheSweethome.com's coverage is a little more limited, but it looks at popular and well-reviewed space heaters, then tests to find a couple of top choices. We also rely heavily on user reviews, looking at feedback posted at Amazon.com, HomeDepot.com, Lowes.com, Walmart.com and elsewhere. These reviews provide an up-to-date snapshot of how space heaters perform, and touch on long-term factors, such as the reliability of a specific model, that are beyond the scope of most expert testing. Using this feedback, we consider performance, safety and reliability to name the very best space heaters, along with some choices that could be worth considering for some buyers.

April 2014 Issue
Inspired Living
Meet residents of three Ohio retirement communities who prove that there's no age limit to pursuing your interests.
Linda Feagler
Bill Koruna (photographed here at Otterbein University's campus stage) has been acting since the 1950s.
If, as Shakespeare wrote, "all the world's a stage," Bill Koruna is ready to embrace every role that comes his way. For more than 50 years, Koruna, a resident of Columbus' Friendship Village has performed in more than two dozen plays and 12 independent films.
His favorite stage roles include army captain McLean in "Tea House of the August Moon" and Virgil Blessing, the kindhearted cowboy in "Bus Stop." On screen, Koruna has played a soldier-turned-traitor in "The Wind is Watching" and even slathered paint on his face to portray a zombie in "Bong of the Living Dead."
"Acting is part of who I am," Koruna says. "I can't wait to don a character's persona, to understand what it feels like to wear his coat and transmit that identity to my audience."
Koruna, 73, has fond memories of the Saturday afternoons he whiled away as a youth at the movie theater in his native Skaneateles, N.Y. Roy Rogers, James Dean and Cary Grant were his heroes. Koruna often wondered what it would be like to put his own interpretations on characterizations, and he acted on those aspirations while serving as a radar tech stationed at Evreux-Fauville air base in France in the late '50s. "Theater troupes were common on military bases in Europe," he says. "The guys I hung around with suggested I try out."
Koruna nailed his first audition. He was cast as professor Rupert Cadell in "The Rope," the role James Stewart made famous in the Alfred Hitchcock thriller. "I'm fascinated by villains because they don't see themselves as bad guys," Koruna explains. "Many believe they're reaching for truth or redemption or understanding. Bringing that perception to life is electrifying."
As he prepares to depict a senior citizen in "Daisy," an independent film about love, loss and understanding that will be shot in Indiana, Koruna reflects on this chapter in his life.
"Getting older is not for scaredy-cats," he admits. "But it can be very satisfying. … I learn something new every day from the people around me — retired scientists, college administrators, teachers [and] business professionals. I've discovered the best way to age is just by listening and sharing — the exchange of ideas with others."
Echoes in Time
Judy Cook's favorite songs are the ones her forebears sang. They're filled with love and heartache, freedom and fear.
For more than a decade, The Kendal at Oberlin resident has delighted in traveling the world, performing folk ballads that were popular during the Civil War.
"You can't help but be touched by these songs," says Cook, 65. "Everybody who had family in this country during the 1860s was involved in the fighting one way or another."
Cook became captivated by folk music while attending Oberlin College. She and her classmates often staged sing-alongs filled with tunes made famous by John Denver, Judy Collins and Peter, Paul and Mary. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in psychology, the musician began researching the origins of her favorite music and performing her discoveries at folk festivals here and abroad.
But a find Cook happened upon in 2002 enriched her repertoire. While sorting through a box of correspondence in her mother's North Carolina home, Cook uncovered a packet of letters written by her great-great-grandparents, Gilbert and Esther Claflin.
Gilbert, a 40-year-old farmer in Oconomowoc, Wis., had been drafted into the Union army in 1862 to serve in the Thirty-Fourth Wisconsin Infantry. It didn't take long for Cook to get lost in the letters. Each was filled with riveting details about life in mid-19th-century America.
"My great-great-grandfather wrote wonderful, fascinating descriptions about life along the Mississippi River, about discussions he had with former slaves and with Union and Confederate soldiers who were half his age," she says. "Esther wrote about the challenges of running the farm without her husband and offered news of what was happening in their hometown."
Cook painstakingly transcribed the missives, and in December, the University of Wisconsin Press published the resulting book,
A Quiet Corner of the War: The Civil War Letters of Gilbert and Esther Claflin
Cook and her husband, Dennis, also recorded "Tenting Tonight," a collection of 17 Civil War-era songs. The couple sings and plays 17 selections, including "Lorena," "Goober Peas," "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "Richmond is a Hard Road to Travel."
As she prepares for appearances at United Kingdom folk clubs in Cornwall, Devon and Sussex, Cook muses on the poignancy of her subject matter.
"The music I choose is nonconfrontational," she says. "I don't sing rally songs. Instead, I showcase the human side."
Fitness Focus
John Hughes couldn't believe the diagnosis. He'd experienced none of the warning signs Type 1 diabetes is known for: extreme thirst, sudden change in vision, labored breathing and lethargy.
"I watched my diet and was reasonably active," the Cincinnati resident recalls. "I had gone in for just a routine physical, so the news my doctor delivered to me came as a complete surprise."
The Proctor & Gamble computer technologist knew it was time to step up his exercise routine and decided to give bicycling a whirl. Forty-six years later, what began as a necessity has morphed into a full-blown fitness regimen.
"When I'm on a bike, I don't think about any of my problems," he says. "And best of all, you see the scenery in minute detail."
During the summer, Hughes, 86, logs an average of 100 miles a week on the Raleigh Alyeska touring bike his daughter gave him 25 years ago. In inclement weather, he pedals a stationary bike at his home in Maple Knoll Village. He's become a familiar sight tooling along the pathways dotting his continuing-care retirement community. But his wanderlust spans the globe.
In 2012, Hughes rode 46 miles in California's Death Valley for a Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation fundraiser. Last year, he participated in a 100-mile trip through Natchez Trace Parkway, stopping along the way to help build Habitat for Humanity homes in Tennessee.
When he's home, the octogenarian delivers Meals on Wheels (by car, of course) to Cincinnati residents and serves as a mentor to others with diabetes. "My first piece of advice: Don't deny diabetes," Hughes says. "So many people do in the sense that they say, 'Well, I can eat anything I want today because it won't affect me tomorrow.' If you do that every day, you'll be in trouble in a year or two."
Arthritis and a new pacemaker have not slowed the cyclist down. Hughes is planning to visit Switzerland this year.
"I'm proof that you're never too old to exercise," he says. "Of course, I get a little upset with myself sometimes because I don't have the physical capabilities I used to have. But that's not going to stop me."

Since bringing Kara home from the hospital, I've been wearing her occasionally in a Moby Wrap. I do really like the Moby Wrap, however, sometimes it feels a little warm, and with summer coming, I would really like to try a carrier with some more structure.
I was really bummed to find out that it is not safe to carry front-facing due to poor positioning for baby, because Kara really likes to be nosy and look all around.
My carrier wish list:
1. Baby has best view possible
2. Works well with small babies and beyond (Kara is about 12 lbs.)
3. Is lightweight and will work well in a hot/humid climate
4. Is cute (well, this is a wish list, right?)
5. Comfortable fit for me, soft shoulder straps, etc.
So, Moms, can you help me? Which carrier do you love, and why?

I didn t do it is something cops hear all the time. But when the plea comes from a close friend who's fallen on hard times, it's tougher to ignore, especially for young Officer Danny Boyle. It's the start of another action-packed summer for the wise cracking Boyle and straight-arrow cop (now Chief of Detectives) John Ceepak down the Jersey Shore as they do their best to help Danny's friend, a young nurse who claims she has been falsely accused of aggravated assault by a prestigious Sea Haven doctor. Ceepak's unshakable code of honor is tested when he trusts that the nurse is telling the truth. It's stretched to the limit when one of the nurse's home health care patients turns up dead.Now Ceepak and Danny must answer the hard and horrible question: Did we just help a friend get away with murder? Get ready for another fun and fast-paced page-turner from Anthony and Agatha award-winner Chris Grabenstein.

The Boston Red Sox have been signing several veteran pitchers to minor league deals and Daisuke Matsuzaka should be back at some point during the 2012 season.
However, the Red Sox still need to decide who the fourth and fifth starters will be in 2012 and that will have to be settled in spring training. Aaron Cook, Carlos Silva, Daniel Bard and Vicente Padilla will all be battling it out for those two spots. Who knows, maybe some minor league talent will impress during spring training!
