14th Annual Competition Focuses on Student Engagement
Statesboro, GA (February 3, 2014) – Georgia Southern University has successfully kicked off its participation in the 2014 RecycleMania tournament, the national competition in which college campuses compete over eight weeks to see which can reduce, reuse and recycle the most on-campus waste.
In addition to Georgia Southern University, hundreds of schools and millions of students, faculty, and staff will be participating across the U.S. and Canada. Schools compete in 11 categories to see which recycles the most paper, cardboard, cans and bottles, and food waste on a per capita basis; which can produce the least amount of waste; and which recycles the largest percentage of their overall waste stream. Additional categories recognize successful recycling at home basketball games and call attention to the recyclability of film plastic and scrap electronics. The competition runs through March 30.
Updated rankings published online each Friday allow schools to track their progress and rally to improve their standings against rival colleges.
During RecycleMania, students, faculty and staff at Georgia Southern can expect to win prizes and public recognition if they are "Caught Green Handed" in the act of recycling. Those seen refilling reusable coffee or tea mugs on campus may discover their "Mug Shot" on social media and in the paper. In addition, the Center for Sustainability and its partners will create a greenhouse from plastic water bottles to promote the re-use of recyclable materials.
"RecycleMania is an opportunity for us to raise awareness about our campus recycling program as well as waste reduction and conservation issues in general. And, of course, it's also fun", said Christina Beslin, Graduate Assistant for The Center for Sustainability.
"RecycleMania is exciting because it builds on traditional college rivalries by adding recycling to the list of things that schools can brag about when it comes to their archrivals," said Stacy Wheeler, president of RecycleMania, Inc. "The competition aspect of the event makes it fun and helps to encourage everyone on the entire campus to make recycling a part of their daily routines."
In 2013, 91 million pounds of recyclables and organic materials were recovered at Georgia Southern University, which prevented the release of greenhouse gases comparable to the carbon sequestered by 99,535 acres of U.S. forests in one year.
Top schools in the 2013 competition included University of Missouri Kansas City in the Grand Champion category; California State University San Marcos, in the Per Capita Classic; and Valencia College, which won the Waste Minimization category for the second straight year.
"Encouraging waste reduction and recycling among college students is crucial to building and sustaining vibrant communities, both on campuses and beyond," said Keep America Beautiful's Brenda Pulley, senior vice president, recycling. "Supporting Recyclemania is a key component of KAB's efforts to improve recycling on college campuses."
The competition is made possible with the continued sponsorship support of the Alcoa Foundation, the American Forest & Paper Association, The Coca-Cola Company and SCA Tissue. Georgia Southern University's participation in RecycleMania is made possible in part by Student Sustainability Fees.
A complete list of participants can be found at RecycleManiacs.org. For more information about Georgia Southern University's RecycleMania program, contact the Center for Sustainability at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone 912-478-5895.

So you're unemployed and trying to stay busy by hanging out at the local coffee shop with your laptop and smart phone. That's a good start. At least you're out of the house and not taking a nap on the couch. But now what? It's not the big networking spot that you thought it would be. How can you be more productive while sipping a latte? Here are some ideas to get you started:
Ask: Take some serious time and look at each and every contact you have in your email address book and on Facebook or LinkedIn. This may be the most important step, so take it seriously. Start with A (or Z to mix things up) and think about this person. How do you know him or her? Who does he or she know? Where does he or she work? Can this person help you find a new job, introduce you to someone in your field or even write a LinkedIn recommendation for you? If so, contact him or her immediately.
Start writing: Keep it short and to the point: "Hi, Mike, I hope all is well. I'm hoping you can help get me in contact with a potential employer." Add your name and a sentence asking how the kids are or what the latest is on his hobby. Just try to be polite and not make the person feel like you're only contacting them to get a job recommendation. Sign off and hit send. Now go to the next person on your contact list and repeat.
Mine: Mining your contacts is something you should do frequently, not just when you're unemployed and in need of help. We used to call it spinning your Rolodex, back when people actually had those old-fashioned address wheels. You should keep a birthday Rolodex and send short emails just wishing people a happy day. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who wouldn't appreciate your remembering the day they were born.
At the very least, you should maintain some form of contact with your old network of co-workers. Short notes with article links that they may find interesting work. Does your colleague from two jobs back still work in advertising? Do a quick Google News search and send off an article with a short message saying that you found this and thought of them. People like to be thought of. You think of them, and then they think of you — maybe for a job.
Soul search: Although unemployment can be very stressful and daunting, it's also a good time to stop and really think about what you want in life. Just because you've always worked in accounting doesn't mean you always have to work in accounting, right? Take some coffee shop time and sketch out your dreams, goals and interests. You may stumble upon an entirely new career.
Start with your Facebook groups. What groups do you follow? Cooking groups? Architecture groups? Science groups? There's something there. Write that down on a piece of paper. What about your childhood interests and hobbies? Jot those down, too. Answer these questions: What would you do every day if you already had $50 million in the bank? And what do you want people to say about you at your funeral? That may sound morbid, but it does help clear the clutter in your mind. If you want people to talk about what a great dad you were and how you helped create a new softball team in town, you may have just found a new career path. Let all this brainstorming lead the way to a new job and life. All of this while lounging at the coffee shop!

Asked to describe his band's eclectic mix of styles, Leftover Salmon co-founder Drew Emmitt laughed before answering.
"We like to call it 'polyethnic Cajun slamgrass,'" he explained in a phone interview with the Mirror from his Colorado home. "It's something one of the guys in the band came up with. We have a lot of influences in the band, from bluegrass to rock to cajun to calypso."
Leftover Salmon is one of the headliners of the AmeriServ Flood City Music Festival, being held Friday through Sunday at Peoples Natural Gas Park in Johnstown. Leftover Salmon, with Bill Payne of the band Little Feat, will headline Friday's events with a concert at 9:30 p.m. Singer-songwriter Boz Scaggs will headline Saturday with a 9:30 p.m. concert, while soul group Lee Fields & The Expressions wrap up the festival at 8:30 p.m. Sunday.

The group Leftover Salmon will perform during the Flood City Music Festival in Johnstown. From left are: Greg Garrison, Vince Herman, Drew Emmitt, Alwyn Robinson, Bill Payne and Andy Thorn.
Boz Scaggs will perform.
This year's festival will feature 35 artists playing on four stages.
"I think the buzz is really strong," said Shelley Johansson, the festival's director of communications and marketing. "A lot of people are very excited - I know we are. It is a very big year for us in a lot of ways. Boz Scaggs holds a lot of appeal, as does Leftover Salmon."
Leftover Salmon is a jam band from Boulder, Colo., that formed in 1989 behind local music veterans Emmitt, Vince Herman and Mark Vann. The group's mix of styles proved popular and they became a staple of the then-rising jam band scene which included Phish and groups like the Dave Matthews Band.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Ameriserv Flood City Music Festival
When: 2 p.m. to midnight Friday, noon to 1 a.m. Saturday and 1 to 10 p.m. Sunday
Where: Peoples Natural Gas Park, Johnstown
Tickets: $22.75 for Friday, $38.75 for Saturday and $11.75 for Sunday (weekend passes also available, starting at $54.50). Kids under 12 are admitted free with ticketed adult.
More information: Performer schedule and ticket information online at www.floodcitymusic.com
"I think we're very lucky and grateful to be included in the jam band world," Emmitt said. "It's a younger audience and it's a very broad demographic as far as taste and styles. The jam band world has gotten very eclectic."
In 2002, Vann lost a long battle with cancer. The band released one more album, in 2004, then went on hiatus. Herman and Emmitt both formed and toured with solo groups during the hiatus, but Leftover Salmon reunited in 2007. With that reunion came a new producer - Bill Payne, the legendary keyboard player of influential rock band Little Feat.
"We're extremely lucky to have Bill playing with us," Emmitt said. "In the last year, he's become a fixture. With Little Feat basically pulling back and not doing much, we're really, really happy and honored that he landed in the Leftover Salmon camp. ... He's one of the best keyboard players ever."
Payne will produce Leftover Salmon's next record, just as he produced the band's 2012 effort, "Aquatic Hitchhiker." The group's next album, however, will be a larger project.
"We actually started working on this record about a year ago," Emmitt said. "It's all new stuff, all originals. We've decided to include a live portion - if I'm not mistaken, we have enough to put out a double live album."
Leftover Salmon is also planning a 15th anniversary tribute show for its 1999 album "The Nashville Sessions," which featured collaborations with legends like Waylon Jennings, Lucinda Williams and Bela Fleck. That show will be held Sept. 15 at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn.
At this point, 25 years into the band's career, they've reduced their workload down to mostly weekend performances and summer festivals, with longer tours in the spring and fall. But that doesn't mean the group is resting on its laurels. With Payne on keyboards, banjo prodigy Andy Thorn (joined in 2010), drummer Alwyn Robinson (joined in 2013) and long-time guitarist Greg Garrison joining founders Emmitt and Herman, the band has been going strong.
"In my opinion, this is the best version of Leftover Salmon that we've ever had," Emmitt said. "After 25 years, this band feels better than ever, and more exciting and more fun than it's ever been."
This year marks the 25th year of a major music festival in the city by the Johnstown Area Heritage Association - the Flood City Music Festival began in 2009 and was preceeded by the National Folk Festival. The event averages 8,000 to 10,000 attendees each year and creates a buzz throughout the mid-Atlantic region, Johansson said.
"It is very much a regional event," she said. "Really, Johnstown is an easy drive for a pretty significant portion of the mid-Atlantic. ... People find this to be an exciting lineup and an affordable ticket."

The mastermind behind the project? Streep's The Devil Wears Prada and Julie & Julia costar Stanley Tucci, who would be directing the mother-daughter comedy tentatively titled Mommy & Me, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The project, which Tucci would also produce, is in its beginning stages – no script and no writers signed on just yet – but the package has been making its rounds to studios and a number of them have shown interest, sources tells the paper.
If all goes according to plan, Fey, who once told Entertainment Weekly she always dreamed of working with Streep, would get her wish. The only hitch? The 30 Rock star told the magazine she wanted to play Streep's mom.

Facebook (NASDAQ: FB ) seeks to offer world more than status updates and Sponsored Stories. Under its Open Compute Project, Facebook engineers have spent the last two years redesigning its servers from the ground up to create a data center that's more efficient and economical. By controlling every aspect of the design, engineers were able to create a data center that uses 38% less energy for 24% less cost, and can handle the same workload as Facebook's existing data centers. Considering how explosive data growth has been, keeping a lid on energy requirements has become a key priority for companies with expansive data farms. In the spirit of an open Internet, Facebook will be sharing all that it learns with the open-source community in hopes to drive more progress. As a whole, the industrywide implications are quite promising for companies that utilize a similar cloud-based approach to data.
Built to spec
With the help of Intel's (NASDAQ: INTC ) new silicon photonic technology, Facebook was able to deconstruct the server "monolith" by disaggregating key elements of server design. Silicon photonics use light to move data at high speeds with lower power than conventional copper wiring. Intel's silicon photonics enable transfer speeds of 100 gigabits per second and have a low enough latency to allow components that once needed to be adhered to the same mother board to now be spread out within the rack. In practical terms, servers adopting this technology can have more modular designs, which simplifies repair, cheapens upgrades, increases component life, and allows organizations to build the exact server they need without any excess. Intel and Facebook believe this collaboration will define the future of megadata center designs for the next decade.
Investing angles
Contrary to popular belief, Facebook may not be a one-trick pony after all. The Open Compute Project is bound to help Facebook lower its data center costs, which could easily translate into improved operating results over the long term. For Intel, its silicon photonics technology supports both its Xeon and Atom line of processors, and could help drive steadier demand for its chips in the years to come. Support for its Atom line of processors is particularly important, given the rise in popularity of server clusters, which employ thousands of low-power chips for larger computing tasks. Since the Open Compute Project is still in its infancy, Facebook likely has a lot of benefit left to realize.
After the world's most hyped IPO turned out to be a dunce, most investors probably don't even want to think about shares of Facebook. But there are things every investor needs to know about this company. We've outlined them in our newest premium research report. There's a lot more to Facebook than meets the eye, so read up on whether there is anything to "like" about it today, and we'll tell you whether we think Facebook deserves a place in your portfolio.

PASCAGOULA, Mississippi -- Investigators with Jackson County Criminal Investigation Division arrested 44-year-old Armonte Yvetheol King on Thursday and charged him as a non-compliant sex offender charge.
The non-compliance occurred at King's address of the 13000 block of Ridgeland Road in Vancleave.
King was in non-compliance to registration requirements as set forth by Mississippi State Statute 45-33-25,27(5)(b), which states a sex offender has three days after first residing in or returning to a county of this state to provide the required registration information.
Citizens can access the Mississippi sex offender registration site at www.sor.mdps.state.ms.us to view complete Mississippi Statute 45-33-25,27(5)(b) and search for sex-offenders in their area or the Jackson County at Web Site at www.sheriffalterts.com/ms/jackson.
King is currently being housed in the Jackson County Adult Detention Center where he is awaiting an initial bond hearing. If convicted, King faces up to five years in the Mississippi State Penitentiary and a $5,000 fine, or both.

"I'm feeling great," she tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I'm just ready to move on and continue my world tour."
Hospitalized earlier this week for an upper respiratory infection, Houston postponed the first four shows of her European tour, fueling tabloid speculation that she's in a downward drug spiral.
Houston calls such reports "ridiculous" and says, "At this point, I just don't respond. I don't even read it."
Checking into a hospital in Paris was doctor's orders. "My health is terrific," says the singer, 46. "But this is a time when I get a lot of allergies."
Houston's tour will resume on April 13 in Birmingham, England, and will continue through June. "I'm doing what I love to do, which is singing," Houston says. "The best part is seeing all of my fans around the world."

One warm layer.
When the knee warmer and bib shorts combination just isn't cutting it, we know that late season temperatures have officially taken over. Rather than scratching our heads while we hunt for more layers, we make the transition to bib tights, as the smooth, non-constricting materials provide support and warmth for those frosty rides. Gore Bike Wear created its new Power 2.0 Thermo Bib Tights for this late season weather, and they're available with or without a chamois.
These bib tights use a lightly insulated nylon and elastane thermal fabric for the leg panels. This blend is effective in wicking and managing moisture through a push-pull system, allowing sweat to be drawn away from the skin immediately and pushed to the outer surface of the bibs, which increases comfort and helps maintain an optimal temperature. Flat lock seams keep the panels smooth against your skin, and the gripper elastic on the bottom hems hold the legs in place without snagging the skin or cutting off the circulation.
Gore included its Power Man seat insert to ensure that you to sit comfortably for hours. Gore calls this insert their workhorse, and they use it for these bib tights because they realize a lot of your off-season training will be constituted by long hours in the saddle. It has an anatomical fit with strategic elasticity and ventilation. How breathable an insert is has a lot to do with reducing any potential for humidity-caused rubbing and friction. With this in mind, the outer fabric of the Power Man insert is made from a hyper- moisture absorbing fabric.
Gore Power 2.0 Thermo Bib Tights come with a mesh insert at your back so that you feel well ventilated right where it's best to let some excess heat escape. Reflective elements were added throughout, ensuring that you remain visible to motorists in low-light riding conditions.
The Gore Bike Wear Power 2.0 Thermo Bib Tights are available in sizes Small to XX-Large and in the colors Black and Black/red. The Black color comes without a chamois and the Black/red comes with the Power Man chamois.

It's ridiculous to compare teacher, medical training
As a former science teacher at Trocaire College, I applaud The News article "Program a prescription for better teacher training" and support Fredonia State's rigorous academic program as a more effective method for preparing teachers to succeed in their role as educators of children. However, as a medical school grad who studied extremely hard throughout four years of college and four years of medical school, who earned a medical degree and began a family medicine residency, only to struggle with severe anxiety and depression caused/exacerbated by the extraordinary stress inherent of clinical training, I take strong offense to the report's repeated references to "training more like a doctor."
Teaching is not easy or stress-free by any means, especially in many urban settings, but it is ridiculous to compare teacher training with the rigors of medical residency. Teachers do not toil 80 to 100 hours per week, 24-hour-long or more shifts with little to no sleep, and have to handle psychologically traumatic medical emergencies such as treating gunshot victims, assisting on complex surgeries, dealing with serious obstetric complications, running codes in a high-charged hospital environment or informing a patient that he/she has a terminal condition and does not have long to live.
I learned the hard way why medical residents are three times more likely to commit suicide than the general population. The damage to my psyche induced by the sleep deprivation and traumatic events of medical training prompting me to reluctantly give up on my long-held dream of becoming a practicing physician. Our society/community urgently needs well-trained, effective teachers, but comparing Fredonia State's teacher training program to medical residency is nonsense and an insult to every physician who endures clinical training.

Julia Roberts, this week's PEOPLE covergirl and new mom (of twins), tops the Hollywood Reporter's new list of the silver screen's highest paid actresses, thanks to her $20-million-per-picture price.
Roberts, 37, actually shares that salary status with Cameron Diaz, though the Reporter's list leads with Roberts because the No. 2-ranked Diaz, 32, didn't appear in any movies this year, except to lend her voice to the Princess Fiona character in Shrek 2.
Nicole Kidman rakes in $15 million per pic, says the trade paper, which earns her the third spot, though fourth-ranked Reese Witherspoon, 28, and fifth place Drew Barrymore, 29, earn the same salary. The distinction was made because Kidman can claim an Oscar and stronger star power.
Rounding out the top 10, in descending order: Halle Berry ($14 million); Sandra Bullock and Angelina Jolie ($12 million to $15 million each); and, interestingly, Renee Zellweger and Jennifer Lopez ($12 million) – whose rankings represents a reversal of roles since last year, when Zellweger was 10th.
Missing from the list are Meryl Streep, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jodie Foster, Meg Ryan and Michelle Pfeiffer, though the asking prices for the "next generation" of actresses got the once-over.
They include $8 million for Kirsten Dunst; $7.5 million for Lindsay Lohan; $3 million for Jessica Alba and Mandy Moore; and $2 million for Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Home. . . . A word dense with personal and social meaning, it conjures images of everything from a stately mansion to an apartment building to a child's treetop refuge.
More than simply a house, a home is at once the focus of domestic aspirations and the outward expression of them, however modest or grand. The Heinz Architectural Center presents more than 125 drawings, models, books, and games from its collection that reveal ways in which the home has been envisioned over the last 200 years. Among the subjects explored are the range of styles in residential architecture, innovative construction technologies, interiors, company-built housing, and the modern and contemporary house. Architectural objects from the collection are supplemented by photography, video, and two new installations.
The programs of the Heinz Architectural Center are made possible by the generosity of the Drue Heinz Trust. General support for the museum's exhibition program is provided by The Heinz Endowments, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and Allegheny Regional Asset District.

Q: My mouse is very sick today. She has had the occasional sneeze for a few months but never got any worse before this. Her sides are heaving, her mouth is opening and shutting, and she is making strange sounds, sometimes like clicking, sometimes like wheezing. It's possible that her abdomen may be a little swollen, but I may be being paranoid. These symptoms are intermittent.
Veterinarians here cost $200 for mice. I'm on disability, so I can't pay that. I usually treat sick mice myself with Tetracycline as my breeder showed me. They get an initial dose by hand of the powder mixed with water, which I put in their open mouths, and I put it in the water for about a week. I don't know if an antibiotic will help her today. I've put some in her water but don't dare put it in her mouth because she may be having trouble breathing or swallowing. I put some on her fur for her to wash off.
I know it's not easy for you to diagnose without seeing the mouse, but please understand that it's your advice or do nothing. Any thoughts or ideas that you may have will help.
A: I am sorry to hear about your mouse. As you state, it is impossible to make a diagnosis over the Internet. Even if I made one, it could be equally impossible to get the right treatment.
What you describe sounds like signs of severe respiratory distress. There are two general categories for this. It could be a problem in her chest cavity, which includes heart disease and lung disease, or there may be an imbalance in her metabolic system caused by organ failure. All of these conditions are very serious and can be fatal without intervention.
Unfortunately, bacterial infection is only one of numerous causes of disease, and the antibiotic you are trying to get into her will likely not succeed in helping her.
You don't say how old she is; knowing her age would help in deciding what could be wrong. In a young mouse, what you describe could be infectious. It is common to have the primary problem be a virus with a secondary bacterial infection. The antibiotic might help a little but will not cure this. In an older mouse, I would worry about heart disease, cancer and organ failure. Diagnosing and treating these problems would be difficult, even if you had all the money in the world to spend.

Puffins, otters, whales, wildflowers...
We look after four nature reserves here, offering some of the best wildlife watching opportunities in Shetland.
There's a wonderful array of wildlife waiting to be seen, particularly in the spring and summer - from noisy cliffs teeming with seabirds to quiet wetland havens for waders and waterbirds.
But it's not just about birds! Wildflowers offer a kaleidoscope of colour throughout the year, and there's always the chance of spotting an otter, seal, whale or dolphin.
There are guided walks and events on our reserves between May and August and schools are very welcome - check the reserve webpages for more details. If you can't wait to visit and would like to enjoy Shetland from the comfort of your own home, make sure you check out our webcams.
Hope to see you soon!

England's most senior doctor has ordered an investigation into a hospital where several child patients died or suffered severe complications.
Sir Bruce Keogh promised the independent inquiry after meeting with the parents of youngsters who died at Bristol Children's Hospital.
He has tasked Sir Ian Kennedy, who had previously conducted the inquiry into the deaths of as many as 35 infants during the early 1990s at Bristol Royal Infirmary, to carry out the review.
Sir Bruce, the chief medical director of NHS England, announced the news after an emotional three-hour meeting with seven families whose children either died or were

For this week's WIAW, I'm going to share with you the recipes I promised I'd post this week. We've been baking up a storm!
We've made these caramel cream cookies three times in the last week. They were so good, we can't stop eating them! They're ridiculously soft and taste like sugar cookies with a hint of caramel. Oh my gosh I'm in love.
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2-1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3-5 Tbsp. cream
In large bowl, cream 1 cup butter with 1/2 cup brown sugar and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg yolk and mix well. Then add flour until dough forms. Chill for 2-8 hours.Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Roll dough into 1″ balls and place on cookie sheet. Flatten to 1/8″ thickness.Bake at 325 degrees F for 8-11 minutes until cookies just begin to turn very light brown around edges. Remove from cookie sheets immediately and cool on wire rack.
In saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over low heat until butter just begins to brown, watching carefully, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and blend in powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream until desired spreading consistency.
Frost the top of the cookies with a swirl of frosting. If frosting hardens as you work, beat in a bit more cream.
The second is the Salted Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Crinkle Cookies. These ones were my mom's favorite but I don't like them as much. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate based cookies. Chocolate chips, sure, but not the full cookie. And I'd rather have caramel without the salt. But still delicious!
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 10 tbsp salted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 dozen caramels (such as Kraft), unwrapped (Rolos would also be good)
- coarse sea salt
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt, set aside. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fit with a paddle attachment, whip together butter, granulated sugar and light-brown sugar on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add in eggs one at a time, stirring after each addition until combine. Mix in vanilla. With mixer set on low speed, slowly add in dry ingredients and mix just until combine.
- Scoop dough out 2 tbsp at a time and roll into a ball. Press one caramel into the center, sprinkle top of caramel with a small pinch of coarse sea salt then fold cookie dough around caramel and salt (make sure the caramel is fully covered with dough around all sides). Shape into a ball once more then roll in powdered sugar*. Align cookies on Silpat lined or buttered cookie sheets and bake in preheated oven 11 – 13 minutes. Allow to cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool (note that the caramel will set after it cools, I liked these cookies best warm for soft gooey caramel). Store in an airtight container.
- Lastly we made a Red Velvet Trifle. This was so, so delicious. I'm pretty proud of my efforts, especially considering I don't cook. However, we did forget to stock up on food coloring. How were we supposed to know that you have to use 2 OUNCES of food coloring to make the cake turn red? So it came out as more of a brown velvet…
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
2 oz. red food coloring
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon baking sodaPreheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or three 8-inch round cake pans.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl; set aside. In a small bowl, mix food coloring and cocoa powder to form a thin paste without lumps; set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about three minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then beat in vanilla and the red cocoa paste, scraping down the bowl with a spatula as you go. Add one third of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beat well, then beat in half of the buttermilk. Beat in another third of flour mixture, then second half of buttermilk. End with the last third of the flour mixture, beat until well combined, making sure to scrape down the bowl with a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix vinegar and baking soda. Yes, it will fizz! Add it to the cake batter and stir well to combine. Divide batter evenly between the cake pans and place them in a preheated 350 degree oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Chocolate Ganache
1/2 cup half and half
1 cups dark chocolate, chopped
Warm the half and half in a saucepan over medium heat. Allow it to almost boil, but don't let it boil. As soon as is it really hot, remove it form the heat and stir in the chocolate. Stir until melted and allow it to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Once it has cooled (at room temperature), it is ready to be used in the trifle.
Mascarpone Whipped Frosting
8 ounce mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
*If you don't have mascarpone, sub all cream cheese, so a total of 12 ounces.
In a large bowl with a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat cream cheese, mascarpone and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to medium and slowly pour in whipping cream. Continue whipping until mixture resembles soft whipped cream. This took about 10 minutes.
Trifle Assembly
Arrange a single layer of red velvet cake chunks on the bottom of the trifle dish. Spoon about 1/3 of the ganache on top of the cake cubes, then spoon about 1/3 of the frosting onto the ganache. Sprinkle the frosting with mini chocolate chips. Repeat layers until you run out of room in your dish (which took 3 layers for me). Garnished with some crumbled red velvet cake and a little sprinkling of mini chocolate chips. It was super pretty and even more tasty!
The marshmallow part came in when we went to my cousin's house for Christmas day. They're 5 and 7 years old and got marshmallow guns from my aunt. When we got home last night, we were finding marshmallows in our bags, stuck to our clothing, and in the car. The marshmallows were flying! It made for one entertaining afternoon. Especially when the "big boys" (my brother and cousin) were getting tackled by the little guys.
What were your big Holiday treats?

Hispanic people in the US are abandoning religion in record numbers, posing a new obstacle for Republicans in the battle to attract the crucial Latino vote.
In a trend that shows little sign of stopping, some 18 per cent per cent of Hispanics considered themselves "unaffiliated" to any faith last year compared with 10 per cent in 2010 - an increase of almost double in three years.
While most Hispanics in America continue to belong to the Catholic Church, their numbers are dropping with nearly one in four adults now billed as "former Catholics".
Although the decline is partly due to

Rafael Nadal's stunning straight-sets loss to Steve Darcis in the first round on Monday raises an obvious question: Was that the biggest upset in Wimbledon history? And what about the second-round losses by Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova?
All three are certainly in the discussion.
Gauging the magnitude of an upset is a subjective exercise, of course.
Even time can affect the status of an upset. When unseeded 18-year-old Billie Jean Moffitt stunned top-seeded Margaret Smith in Smith's opening match of the 1962 Wimbledon tournament, it seemed like a major upset. In retrospect, the result doesn't seem as surprising because Moffitt, who became Billie Jean King, went on to win six Wimbledon singles titles.
The bottom line in the determination is this: How shocked were tennis fans by the result?
This proposed list of 15 shocking Wimbledon results was quickly expanded by two with the losses by Federer and Sharapova. So here's a countdown of the 17 most stunning upsets in Wimbledon history.

I am working in imovie 09. I have created a 50 minute imovie
Resolved Question:
I am working in
'09. I have created a 50 minute imovie using clips from multiple sources (all home video but stored on my computer and 2 different external hard drives), added many sound effects, and clips are short (from 3 seconds to 5 minutes) and have multiple overlaying sound effects. Problem occurs when I export to media (so I can create an
) the sound doesn't track with the video. When I play it on the small screen in imovie, it plays fine, and looks perfect to export. When I play it in imovie "full screen" the sound moves off track. When I check it in idvd (media, movie) the sound is off track. So I am sure that the problem is in imovie. Thoughts?
There is no way to move this project to garage band to solve the problem because there are far too many tiny clips and sound effects.
Really appreciate any helpful suggestions here...

Hello, my name is Dan.
I will do my best to help you, the only stupid question is the unasked one.
One thing that does work most of the time is a combination of things.
Repairing Permissions, doing a SafeBoot (runs UNIX maintenance routines on logs and caches) and then trashing the iMovie plists.
This has worked for me with this issue.
Repairing Permissions
That PDF explains permissions.
The imovie plist is located following the path below, note iMovie must not be running for this or it will not work.
Attachments are only available to registered users.

iDVD plist could also be trashed and not hurt anything. They will create new ones, it will not affect or lose any projects or events.
To do a Safe Boot, restart and before the first chime press and hold the 'Shift' key.
Wait until you see the Apple logo and the spinning gear appear, then let go.
It can take as long as 20 minutes to load, so please be patient.
When the login screen appears it will say in red on the login window 'SafeBoot'.
Now login and give it a few more minutes to finish loading.
Try doing whatever it was it was giving you the problem. If it works then probably the problem is solved, so restart normally.
If the problem persists then restart normally also, other fixes will need to be done.
Try that and then try what you are doing and see if there is improvement, let me know.

Okay, I think I can follow these directions. I just updated my software and rebooted the system so I can start "fresh" after I do this procedure. What I am not tracking is the last step "and then trashing the imovie plists."
Can you explain in further detail, and reassure me that it won't harm in anyway my hundreds of movies that I have created both on my mac and external hard drives? Do I need to do this procedure with each of the 2 external harddrives that I have some of the movies stored on? As you know, an imovie project can be created by pulling clips off the external hard drives and so not all the movies are on my mac directly. Should I have these hard drives running when I do this procedure?
replied 5 years ago.
The plists get twisted as it were and so sound tracking gets off and other strange behavior happens because this is were it stores those settings, it creates a new uncorrupted plist.
It does not store project files or what you have done to them. Make sense?
It will act as though it has never been opened so be prepared for that.
As for the externals leave as is, just make sure that iMovie is not running or it will do nothing.

I just repaired permissions and things seemed to go find. There was quite a list. I only did this on my computer HD rather than the 2 external HD's. OKay?
The steps you outlined say to do the safeboot next, but the directions walk me through the plist trashing. Is the order important?
When I go to my Library-preferences-and then look for imovie plist. I see 2 things listed: com.apple.imovie7.plist and the same thing for imovie8. I don't see anything for I movie09 which is what I have installed on my computer. I do see idvdplist, so do I only drag that one to the trash and leave the others?
Thanks for your quick response and patients!!!
replied 5 years ago.
It is called iMovie 08, they never renamed it for newer versions. You may also see SUID that will not be repaired, ignore that it means nothing.
Try the iMovie after each just to keep track of what or where that problem was. It might have only been a permissions thing.

Sorry to say this has not fixed my problem. I went through each step (although I could NOT open imovie "requires data card for quartz extreme") in the safe boot mode.
It looks and sounds fine in imovie, but when exported to "media" for burning in idvd, the sound is off.
replied 5 years ago.
Try locking the audio clips where they belong, this is reported to work.
When I have issues like this I bypass the share function and go directly to where the .mov is and drag that to iDVD. For some reason this keeps it all together.
The way to do this is to right click the iMovie project that you are trying to burn, select Show Package Contents,

Then drag the file that corresponds to the image below.

Drag that to iDVD and see what you get, I do this as standard, it has saved many a movie.
I also recommend making a Disk Image as opposed to burning, I used to make lots of coasters before I got that one.
Then once it is as you like use Disk utility to do the burning of the image to a DVD, works the same as if you used iDVD to burn it.
Let me know.

Hi John, Thank you for your expertise and, more important, for your kindness because they make me, almost, look forward to my next computer problem. After the next problem comes, I'll be delighted to correspond again with you. I'm told that I excel at programing. But system administration has never been one of my talents. So it's great to have an expert to rely on when the computer decides to stump me. God bless, Bill

Lot # 1200 (of 1673) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1914 Pittsburgh Rebels Federal League Panorama
Starting Bid - $500.00 , Sold For - $1,292.50
This crystal-clear panoramic photograph captures twenty-six members of the 1914 Pittsburgh Rebels of the Federal League posing shoulder-to-shoulder on the field. The photographer's credit, "Photo by Murphy & Farrar," appears in white lettering along the lower right. The official Pittsburgh roster for the season numbered only thirty, so included in the photo is virtually every player on the team, no matter how minor, as well as all "key" members including twenty-game winner Elmer Knetzer, Howie Camnitz, Hugh Bradley, Ed Lennox, Rebel Oakes (who also assumed the managerial duties early in the season), and Davy Jones. This is the first example of this rare Federal League team photograph we have ever seen. The Federal League was formed in 1914 as a Major League rival to the American and National Leagues. Despite its success in signing many of the game's top stars, the League only lasted two seasons, thus making this display photograph not only an extraordinary artistic achievement, but an extremely significant historical piece as well. Any and all materials relating to the short-lived Federal League are exceedingly rare, especially panoramic team photos. This photo can be definitively dated to the 1914 season based upon the one-year uniform style the players are wearing. Pittsburgh finished in seventh place during its inaugural Federal League season, but rebounded the following season by advancing to third place. The photo (17 x 4.5 inches) displays three small areas of light discoloration (one one of which is easily noticeable due to its placement against the light backdrop of the infield dirt), otherwise it is in apparent Near Mint condition. Matted and framed to total dimensions of 21 x 8.5 inches. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$2,000. SOLD FOR $1,292.50
