GreenChefs Reviews Entertaining in the Raw, a Recipe Book by Matthew Kenney
Posted By GreenChef Staff Monkies On June 15, 2009 @ 12:10 am In Books,GreenChef Foodie Talk | 7 Comments
GreenChefs Recommended Recipe Book Entertaining in the Raw
This book is gorgeous, first of all. It's one of those books that you can certainty judge by it's cover. Miha Matei, who did the photography for the book did an amazing job, and the design and styling is beautiful as well. The colors and richness of the cover photo and text tells you a lot about what the book is about and filled with. It is happy and colorful, but with a sophisticated and refined edge, reminiscent of a modern Matrix Varenna kitchen. Very New York.
The book is layed out in a unique fashion. Instead of the contents being organized by the type of meal, the chapters are divided by the style of the meal. Each chapter represents a different inspiration of types of recipes and food combinations. The first chapter, Blossom, is all about the seasonal array of food blossoming in the spring and summer, crafted into light and refreshing dishes. It's filled with recipes featuring tomatoes, cucumbers, squash blossoms, basil, cantaloupe, watermelon, plums, micro-greens, avocado, apricots, fava beans, raspberries, and many more mouth watering foods.
The Contemporary chapter is filled with dishes that are uniquely creative and sophisticated in design and presentation. Visually, this chapter is stunning, filled with stylized dishes that stand out with vibrant light and dark contrasting colors. The Black Sesame and White Coconut Dumblings with Creamy Miso Sauce is particularly 'Contemporary' and vibrant, with white coconut wraps nestled inside black coconut wraps, scrunched together with the tie of a green chive that sits on top of a light brown miso sauce on an all white plate. There is also a Jackson Pollock inspired raviolo with arugula pesto that uses red and green juices to artfully splatter rich colors into the canvas of beige coconut wraps, much like a Jackson Pollock painting. And there is a Shitake Ravioli with broccoli rabe, balsamic fig puree, and ginger cream. I also love the Heirloom tomatoes, warm "cheese" crisps, and melting olive oil "ice cream". The various white, yellow, orange and green tomatoes are sliced into thick squares that look like translucent pastel colored frosted sea glass that gets washed up on the shore of the beach.
The next chapter is titled "Inspiration", as though what we've seen so far hasn't been inspiring enough! This chapter is full of amazing looking dishes that make creative use of cacao and other exotic ingredients like saffron. There is a Bitter broccoli ravioli and pine nut "cheese" in Chocolate wrappers with orange powder and pinot noir sauce. It looks insanely good and is a vibrant rich brown and
burgundy color. There is also Chocolate chili tacos, cacao crepes, chocolate cake, and a Frozen mint panna cotta with marshmallow whip, vanilla wafers, and bittersweet cacao sauce.
Next we get to Spice, the chapter on sensually enticing and flavory sharp spices like coriander, saffron and white cardamon. This chapter looks very promising for mouth watering recipes that are packed with flavor. I love these names. Citrus tart, raspberry leaf-infused cherry sauce, and rosewater "ice cream" – Heirloom tomato pave and preserved lemon dressing with green olives and pine nuts – Avocado tartare with tamarind-glazed cherry tomatoes, black sesame pappadam, and curry froth – Sweet pea samosas, mint-almond chutney, and pickled lime "yogurt", etc.
The chapter after that is called Radiance, with dishes that are best served on a romantic summer night, or casual backyard lunch party. Well, maybe not that casual, unless it's on the upper east side. These dishes are still very gourmet and sophisticated, just lighter on the palate, leaving you with a radiant glow. Some of the recipes in this section are – Roasted sweet pepper soup, basil manti, and hazelnut "yogurt" – Spinach and beet ravioli, cashew "ricotta," wilted spinach with basil, and wine pear sauce, orange-pineapple flan and lime syrup – Golden and green cannelloni with sun-dried tomato-ginger marinara, mint-basil pistachio pesto, green zebra tomatoes, and pine nut and black truffle "ricotta.
The next chapter is Revolution, and starts off with an inspiring truthful quote by William James. "The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives." This chapters theme is perhaps the most apt in relation to the entire book and genre of actual gourmet, raw, organic and plant based cuisine. These chefs are truly revolutionizing what is possible both with fine cuisine and with healthy raw ingredients, turning it into something never seen before or taken to these heights of creativity. Raw cuisine has certainly come a long way and has struggled to get a foothold into mainstream acceptance, which it is now doing with excellerated speed and evolution. Anyways, this chapter reflects the inspiration of traditional old-world cuisine of many nations, revolutionized with a raw modern twist. Here are some of the super long and craving inducing recipe titles from this section. Empanada de espinaca y salsa de tomate: empandanda with spinach, tomato relish, and cilantro-mint puree – Orange, pistachio-cacao, and mesquite truffles – Chile rellenos, monta-raw jack "cheese," and cacao mole – Chocolate ancho chile tarts with lime-spiced mango chutney and cinnamon vanilla cream – Tricolor sesame-cashew dumplings and sweet chile-lime sauce (the cover photo) – and Empadinhas de queijo: "cheese" empanadas.
The last chapter in the book is, Meaningful, focusing on the tradition and meaning when sharing a meal. I'm not sure what sets this chapter apart, as all the dishes in the book seem meaningful in some way. But it has of course delicious looking photos and fancy names, with some that seem slightly simpler to prepare. It has a lot of Asian themed dishes. O.K. that's what sets it apart, I've found it, it's ALL Asian. Lovely. Here are some of the titles of dishes – Zaru somen and sweet dashi sake broth – Pearl balls with spicy mango salsa – Mochi "ice cream": goji berry, vanilla lemongrass, green tea – Cold spicy long-life noodles with ginger sauce – Thai cucumber salad, Spicy "fried" spring rolls with sweet tamarind fondue (looks like a must), and, wait for it…. Raw Fortune Cookies! Oh my! How does he do it?
So, that sums up what you will find in the book. It is difficult to describe really because most of it's appeal is all visual. This is the kind of book, that even if you don't think you will ever make time to prepare these intricate dishes, it is still worth having just for the visual entertainment and inspiration. I haven't tested out any of the recipes yet. I will let you know how they go and post photos. So far I can only review the book itself, the visuals, presentation and impression of it all, not the taste or success of any of the recipes. Honestly, a lot of the recipes are so unique and the combination of ingredients and flavors sound so unusual, I have a hard time even imagining what many of them would taste like – but I'm curious as hell. If the taste is even half as good as the presentation, I will be blown away.

Export/Import Compliance - A Framework -
Any company seeking to enter the export/import realm of the defense business must do so with full knowledge of the laws and regulations that govern the international transfer of defense products and technology, and with a working knowledge of a corporate structure and processes that will facilitate legal and regulatory compliance.

NDIA encourages its members to consult with export/import compliance professionals when tailoring or customizing a compliance program to fit their specific needs and business processes. A list of NDIA member companies offering export/import compliance expertise may be accessed via the link below.
NDIA would like to thank the authors of this framework, Ms. Lisa Bencivenga and Ms. Patricia Dudley, who together have over 20 years experience in the field of export and import compliance. Their companies and services are included in the link to NDIA member companies who offer export/import training, and general consulting services in export and import control laws.
Please select this link to view the table of contents for NDIA's Import/Export Compliance Framework Manual.

But District Attorney Michael Sheppard, contacted by phone Monday, said the case remains open.
"It is an active investigation," Sheppard said.
Refugio County Sheriff Robert Bolcik said more witnesses were being lined up for the case.
"We are still taking witnesses... a couple of witnesses for the grand jury," Bolcik said.
Lopez was found dead behind his house in the 100 block of Borden Road in the early morning hours of June 28. He apparently was shot multiple times with a .22 caliber weapon.
Refugio County deputies with the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Service, Department of Justice, Southern District Unit, arrested Michael Anthony Rocha, 35, on Sept. 27, after a three-month investigation.
The suspect in the Lopez shooting was found at a residence in Aransas Pass.
Rocha remains in the Refugio County Jail with bond set at $750,000.
The case remains under further investigation.
The Refugio County grand jury was scheduled to meet Monday, April 7, but it was not known if the Lopez case would be reviewed by the grand jury.

Here's what to do while you wait:
Mike Sheffey is a senior at Wofford College double majoring in computer science and Spanish. He loves all things music and has recently taken up photography.

Explore Lisbon's surrounding area, choose from Estoril or Cascais, or head south to the Algarve.
Book your car hire with British Airways - in partnership with Avis - and enjoy these great benefits:
Enjoy the freedom and flexibility of car hire in Lisbon, explore the beautiful surrounding areas at your own pace. From the romantic skylines of Sintra, down to the fantastic beaches of the Algarve, western Portugal offers something for everyone.
Hire a car in Lisbon to transform your trip from a spellbinding city break to an exciting fly-drive holiday. Enjoy day trips to the old town of Estoril and Cascais along the coast from Lisbon, or venture further to Sintra's whimsical castles and grand palaces. Perhaps go north, to Porto, to enjoy delicious Port wine amid historic grandeur. Don't miss the stunning beaches of the Algarve in the south, and the superb championship-level golf courses on offer. Our car hire, in partnership with Avis, offers great rates, flexibility and fantastic added extras.
British Airways car hire, in partnership with Avis, includes all of the mandatory charges that you'll need to drive away your car in Lisbon.
Take a break from the sights of Lisbon and enjoy a day trip to the stunning beaches of the Algarve region. Just an hour's drive away, Faro is bursting with history and culture. The picturesque coastline makes a delightful drive, with its enchanting stretches of beach, rugged cliffs and charming towns. It is a great way to combine the colourful cityscape of Portugal's capital city with the outstanding shores and white-washed architecture of the beautiful Algarve.
Hire a car in Lisbon and take in the romantic architecture and landscapes of Sintra. A 'must see' when visiting Lisbon, you'll love the contrast presented by this listed UNESCO World Heritage Site destination. With its picturesque palaces and mystical hillsides, this enchanting town effortlessly blends history and fantasy. Home to the Royal Palace, the surrounding hills are surmounted by the remains of the Moorish Castle and by the nineteenth century Pena Palace.
Another worthwhile daytrip from Lisbon is Cascais. This charming town is situated next to the Estoril coast, just a 30-minute drive from Lisbon. Once a sleepy fishing village, its trio of golden bays is now a popular retreat for sun worshippers. But this former residence of the royal family also boasts a pedestrianised old town and winding lanes scattered with boutiques, restaurants and small museums.
The Estoril Coast extends from the Atlantic Ocean and the Tagus river estuary in the south and west up to the northern boundary of the parish of Cascais. Enhance your Lisbon city break with this unforgettable daytrip. An area of incredible natural beauty, follow the coastline as it starts at Tejo Falls and extends to Carcavelos Beach, with the stunning backdrop of Sintra-Cacais Natural Park. This UNESCO World Heritage Site encompasses a range of landscapes and is well worth a visit.
Porto is a beautiful city sat on the Douro River, and is famous for its production of delicious port wine. Portugal's second city is less frenetic than Lisbon, and offers a calm but vibrant getaway. The food and drink scene in Porto is second to none, and the re-invention of Portuguese cuisine by top chefs has fuelled the fire. Don't miss a trip to a winery over the bridge in Vila Nova de Gaia, where the port wine is barrel-aged and bottled – a guided tour comes highly recommended.

"School vouchers are government subsidies of private and religious schools funded by taxpayer money," explained FCISD Superintendent Jeanette Winn. "There are many other names for these programs, such as 'Tax Credit Scholarships', but they all work similarly. All current voucher systems throughout this country have been shown to cost taxpayers more money, rather than save money."
Winn explained how many leaders in Texas public school education believe that the school voucher system is not fair, practical, and economically sound because of the following that relates to the resolution:
• The majority of individuals that take advantage of vouchers are those that are already going to the private schools, so there is little savings for the state or public schools from students not being educated in the public schools.
• All school districts have certain fixed costs that will not change when a handful of students leave the system, as well as significant government restrictions on spending large portions of their revenues. As a result, public schools can seldom cut costs if they lose students tied to a voucher system.
• The low income student can seldom take advantage of vouchers since the cost of the private school tuition, and transportation are only partially covered by a voucher.
• Private and religious schools do not take students that they don't want to, so even if students have vouchers and the additional funds required, they will likely be turned away by private schools if they have special needs, disabilities, discipline problems, or poor academic performance. Public schools, of course, accept all students in their district.
• Private and religious schools are not held accountable in ways that public schools are. They are not required to take state standardized tests, any tests administered are not required to be made public, and they are not required to have public board meetings, regular public financial audits, certified teachers or professionals, meet state curriculum standards, or report budget decisions to the public.
• Current viable options exist for students to have choices on where they attend public school in Texas. Students in state underperforming schools, schools that don't meet federal adequate yearly progress, or who are unsafe in their schools may move to a different school. Most districts have policies to allow inter-district and intra-district transfers, and there are a number of magnet and charter schools throughout the state that offer choices to students in the public schools.
The FCISD trustees approved the resolution against school vouchers 4 to 1. The approving trustees signed the resolution. FCISD now joins other districts in Region 3 and in other regions of the state that have approved the resolution, in hopes of bringing what they believe to be proper and fair change to the system.
"We are submitting our signed resolutions to our Texas Association of School Administrators superintendent representative," said Winn. "From there the resolutions will be compiled and submitted to our state legislators."

To enjoy the natural beauty our area offers, you're being encouraged to put your feet to the pedals Labor Day Weekend.
Cyclists from all over will be descending on our area for the third annual La Crosse Area Bicycle Festival that runs Aug. 30th through Sept. 2nd.
You're welcome to join them on guided historical tours through town, or one of several themed rides being offered. On those themed rides you could bike a route based on some of our area's best coffee or ice cream places, or even on the best spots to watch birds.
You don't need to be an expert to participate. But there are several challenging routes taking cyclists 50, 75, or even 100 miles around the Coulee Region on roads with a history fitting to Wisconsin.
"A network of country roads developed for the dairy industry. To pick up the milk from the farmers once or twice a day, going back 100 years when there was no refrigeration on the farm. They had to get their milk from the farm to the plant, to market. The state developed this great network of country roads which we will have today, and they make great areas for biking," says Executive Director of the La Crosse Area Convention and Visitors Bureau Dave Clements.
There are organized rides leaving every day from La Crosse's Cameron Park.
For a full list of Bike Fest events and details on rides you could take part of as a group, or by yourself, head to BicycleLaCrosse.com.

Another contributing factor to amine blush is the failure to completely mix the base and catalyst components together or trying to mix partial kits. Either situation can lead to unused catalyst migrating to the coating surface and reacting with the damp air to form a blush.

Application in high humidity can cause amine blushing.To avoid it, increase the induction time so the reaction will start in the can.
Stephen Bothello of Jotun Paints on
February 20, 2013:
Amine blush is caused by the preferential reaction of the amine curing agent with atmospheric carbon dioxide and moisture to form ammonium carbamate compounds. It is typically a SURFACE phenomenon, where the free amine functional groups on the surface film layer combine with Carbon dioxide and humid air (water) to form hydrates of amine carbonates. External risk factors for occurrence of amine blush are high humidity, a difference of at least 3 C not being maintained between the steel temperature and dew point at the point of application, Cold Wall effect, and low ambient temperatures (dampness). All of the aforesaid risk factors facilitate water availability to the amine by condensation process for the carbamate formation. Intrinsic risk factors attributed to the product are a slow epoxy-amine reaction, improper mixing (excess of curing agent), inadequate mixing (minimum induction time after mixing of base & curing agent mentioned in the data sheet not complied with), presence of low molecular weight amine in the curing agent/ hardener.(These amines are hygroscopic by nature and easily react with water in preference to epoxy and have high vapor pressure.) Normally, the amine type used in the product can be identified from the Material Safety data sheet.
Juan I. Ordinas of LOTUM, SA on
February 22, 2013:
Blistering can be seen in water tanks due to amine blush. Typical conditions in water tanks are high humidity and medium to low temperatures. With these conditions amines can react faster with CO2 or humidity than with the epoxy component, producing a carbamate derivative. This carbamate remains on the surface, and, if it is no detected and removed by solvent wash, when the second layer of material is applied, adhesion fails at this point. Adhesion fails due to this carbamate contamination, and optically you can see blistering, bubbles filled with water between the different coats of the system.

Amine blush is caused by the presence of moisture during the curing process or loss of proper environmental conditions during drying/ curing.
Bogdan Dana of WOOD GROUP INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT on
February 18, 2013:
Amine blush is caused by the reaction of amine curing agent with atmospheric CO2, leading to a carbamate in the first instance.
Jorge Lizarraga of International Paint on
February 21, 2013:
1) An excess of amines (Part II) in the mixture of base and converter on the surface of an epoxy topcoat results in amine blush when reacting with CO2 from the air and moisture. Generally, this produces a greasy pink shade on the surface. 2) A poor mix between the epoxy base (part l), and the amine converter (part ll) will also produce this effect when the free amine reaches the coating surface and reacts with the air.
In both cases, the unreacted amine may also produce blistering by water absorption, if it remains inside the film.
Empty Jasson of Hai Phong on
February 22, 2013:
The reasons are 1) induction time does not follow data sheet, so the amine in component B reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to form amine carbamate; 2) too low temperature or high humidity during drying/curing; 3) poor ventilation after paint application.

Belpre chamber meeting on oil, gas boom
BELPRE – As many organizations in the Mid-Ohio Valley and beyond have gotten involved, the Belpre Area Chamber of Commerce will soon have an informational meeting about the oil and natural gas boom surrounding the area.
The chamber building, in front of the city building on Park Avenue, will host the program at 4 p.m. Wednesday, said chamber executive director Karen Waller.
"A lot of people have a lot of questions about how the Marcellus and Utica shale will impact the area," Waller said. "We want to give everyone the opportunity to come and ask questions."
Jim Jarvis with the Southeastern Ohio Oil and Gas Association will be the main speaker for the program.
Jarvis will discuss the economic impact of the natural gas boom and the businesses that are or will see growth because of it, Waller said.
Pipelines, processing plants and other facilities tied in with the shale sources show billions of dollars worth of commitment and investments in the communities and state.
In part because of the shale development in Caldwell and around the valley, many businesses have experienced a spike in traffic, Waller said. These businesses include hotels and restaurants.
Terry Moore with the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport has said he believes some airplanes are using the local runway because of the shale drilling.
The Southeastern Ohio Oil and Gas Association (SOOGA) is a nonprofit organization of local producers and businesses involved in the oil and gas industry to address issues and concerns unique to the geographic needs of the Mid-Ohio Valley.
For more information, contact the Belpre Area Chamber of Commerce at (740) 423-8934.

DPW takes inventory of city's sidewalksBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | October 22,2013Anthony Edwards / Staff Photo
The broken down sidewalk running along Allen Street between Mahoney Court and Mussey Street is shown on Monday.A report by the Department of Public Works says the city would need a five-fold budget increase just to keep up with Rutland's deteriorating sidewalks.
The Sidewalk Inventory Report, published Monday on the city's website, put total replacement costs for inadequate sidewalks at roughly $5 million. It also said that just maintaining city sidewalks would call for an increase from the current budget of $50,000 to expenditures of $250,000 a year.
The city has roughly 43 miles of sidewalks, maintained almost entirely in-house by DPW crews. The city allocates $70,000 a year for "concrete/pre-cast" curbing, according to the report, of which $50,000 is used for sidewalks.
Sidewalks were visually inspected. The survey found three miles of sidewalks that were classified as failed, in complete deterioration and impassable. Another 14 miles were classified as "poor," possibly passable but still heavily deteriorated and noncompliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
"At current funding levels of $50,000/yr., it would take approximately 99.7 years (not accounting for inflation) to replace all sidewalks and crossings currently in need of replacement," the report read. "This is beyond the assumed life cycle of concrete sidewalks of 50 years and shows that we can expect the sidewalks to continue to deteriorate faster than they can be replaced at current funding levels."
Indeed, the report used the 50-year lifespan to calculate a need for $250,000 a year in work just to maintain the current inventory.
The report used a number of factors, including condition and location, to create a "Top 10" list of segments that needed replacing. The top two, along with four others, were on Allen Street. Segments of Temple, Pierpoint, Forest and Crescent were also featured.
While $5 million might be within the range the city could bond for, DPW Commissioner Jeffrey Wennberg said he could not see putting a sidewalk project of that scope on the March ballot alongside the planned stormwater separation project for the northwest neighborhood. However, he did say the city could see savings from tackling the sidewalks all at once.
"Usually, the larger a project you bid out, if you can keep a decent-size contractor's crews busy for one season in a relatively small area you can get some economies of scale from that," he said. "Those savings are real."
Wennberg said grant funding could play a role in how much gets done and when.
"Once we have a plan and can defend it with results like what's in the report, it makes it easier to access state and federal sources of money," he said.
Mayor Christopher Louras said the sidewalk budget remains unchanged in the budget he will present to the Board of Aldermen next week. He said he liked the idea of doing separate outlays for increased sidewalk spending, similar to the additional money for street paving that was integrated into the budget last year after repeatedly winning separate approval from city voters.
"The sidewalk report is the first stage of a public education process similar to what we did with the water pipes and similar to what we did with the roads," he said. "We're just at the crawl stage of crawl-walk-run."
Board of Aldermen President David Allaire said he hears a lot about the state of Rutland's sidewalks and he would like to see a discussion on them.
"I've always heard areas around schools and downtown and the medical center are priorities," he said. "Speaking from personal experience, around the Intermediate and Middle School are areas that have been overlooked for a long time."

Chemistry Professor Presents at University of Puerto Rico
Dr. Kermin Martínez-Hernandéz, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, presented at the University of Puerto Rico in Arecibo on Friday, November 9.
His workshop entitled, "Developing Undergraduate Students in STEM Research," presented new research strategies in hopes of sparking students' interest in STEM research at the University. A total of 34 people attended, including eight faculty members and 26 students from the Departments of Physics/Chemistry and Mathematics.
The interactive workshop allowed participants to learn about the development of possible investigations using constructivist strategies such as authentic research and Problem-Based Learning (PBL). Students and professors collaboratively went through the inquiry process of developing a tentative investigation based on real-world problems in the surrounding areas of Arecibo. They analyzed lead contamination in milk, soil, and air due to a recycling battery plant;possible incinerator plant environmental impact; water extraction from Tiburones wetland; and residual water treatment – all issues affecting Arecibo.
"The students recognized that when an investigation is based on a real-world problem from which they are affected, they will be more motivated and will successfully develop the investigation because it is something that they can identify with," reflected Martínez-Hernandéz. "On the other hand, the professors realized that they should be flexible in the areas of the investigations that students choose to work with, and they should become a facilitator of the research process."

Mammography Screening Intervals
By Health Day
Back in 2009, new guidelines were released about the timing of screening mammograms for breast cancer. The recommendation, from The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, suggested women between 50 and 74 get mammograms once every two years...not annually. But now...new research suggests the more frequently a woman has a mammogram....the less likely she is to be diagnosed with advanced breast cancer
that has already spread to the lymph nodes.The study included 3-hundred-32 women with breast cancer identified by screening mammography between 2007 and 2010.
Factoring in age, breast density, high-risk status and a family history of breast cancer... women who had a mammogram at 1 and a half year or less intervals had the lowest rate of lymph node involvement...at 8-point-7 percent.
But when a woman waited longer...1 and a half to three years... the rate of lymph node involvement was significantly higher -20-point-5 percent. Those who waited over three-years had a 15-point-4 percent rate of lymph node involvement.
With this new data, discussion will undoubtedly continue on whether women should wait longer than a year or so for mammograms. As always, talk your personal health decisions over with your doctor.
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV with the news doctors are reading health news that matters to you.

It was a game of runs, and one where Eastern New Mexico University's men were run off their own court.
Midwestern State opened the game with a 9-0 blitz, held off Greyhounds comebacks with two separate 8-0 runs before the half, and used a 13-0 burst to blow open what turned into an 82-53 Lone Star Conference rout on Monday at Greyhound Arena.
Corbin Thomas scored 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting and added eight rebounds for the Mustangs (8-3, 4-0 LSC), who never trailed and shot 65 percent in the second half to hand the Greyhounds their worst home loss since an 87-55 setback to Emporia State in the 2008-09 home opener.
On an early New Year's Eve game, it was looking more like Groundhog Day as the Greyhounds (5-7, 2-2) would rally to pull close or even, only to watch the Mustangs rally right back to a comfortable lead.
"When you're up that early, even as a coach, you're worried because you know … your guys are going to have some kind of letdown, and the other team is in desperation (mode)," Midwestern coach Nelson Haggerty said. "They turned it up, and they were able to get to the basket and make some tough plays.
"We felt like we had some opportunities to stretch the game out. It's just part of the game. This game's about runs, and you've just got to play until the buzzer goes off."
Kevin Grayer added 17 points for the Mustangs, including a exclamation point sequence when he snatched a loose ball near midcourt and took off from just outside the lane for a one-handed flush with 6:23 left.
Greyhounds coach Andrew Helton, visibly frustrated throughout the second half, had already pulled his starters three minutes prior after guard Monzaigo Williams turned a steal into a three-point play that pushed the lead to 59-42 and sent much of the crowd heading to the exits.
"I think they played, coming off the break, very well, and I thought we played really badly," Helton said. "When you have those two things, sometimes that happens."
Guard Kyle Lantz was Eastern's only double-figure scorer with 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting.
Haggerty thought the keys to a the game were getting off to an early start, because the Mustangs have had to play from behind in many second halves this year, and guarding the 3-point line because the Greyhounds came in second in the LSC in 3-point shooting. The Hounds shot just 4-of-18 from beyond the arc.
"It's a great scout by (assistant) coach (Tres) Segler," Haggerty said. "I felt like we guarded the 3-point line very well. We didn't want to allow these guys to get any looks or play freely. They do such a great job offensively, and when they're free to shoot, free to make plays from the 3 line, they're a really hard team to beat. Even if we got a guy picked, we had a secondary guy challenging the shot."

Barre City Elementary and Middle budget increase: 12 percent
BARRE Granite City voters will be asked in March to approve a $12.4 million budget to operate their elementary school during the fiscal year that starts in July.
The proposal calls for more than $1.3 million in new spending an increase of 12 percent. It would add an estimated 5.5 cents to the local tax rate, according to administrative projections. The citys School Board adopted the plan this week, and it was presented to the City Council on Tuesday night.
The rate hike assumes voters continue to support two perennially popular ballot items $61,000 for a school-based police officer and a $30,000 contribution to the schools long-term maintenance fund. Voters have never rejected either request, and, unlike the budget, both routinely pass by wide margins.
The projected school tax rate in Barre would tick up 6.4 cents if the Spaulding High School budget is approved as proposed. The citys projected assessment to the two-town union high school would require a 0.9-cent rate increase, according to estimates.
School commissioners on Monday put the finishing touches on a budget that was the subject of behind-the-scenes deliberations that Chairman Lucas Herring described as excruciatingly thorough and board member Linda Riddle characterized as heart-wrenching.
Some proposed positions were cut from the budget, as was a requested infusion of nearly $300,000 that represented a down payment on a five-year plan to replace and radically expand the number of computing devices available to students at the pre-kindergarten-through-8 school.
Despite some last-minute lobbying by one board member, two students and a staff member, the board stood by its finance committees recommendation to cut the school districts share of funding $17,000 for the woman who runs the schools student assistance program.
Leslie Walz urged fellow board members to restore funding for the position, though when pressed was unwilling to propose any offsetting budget reductions.
After hearing from students and one counselor who spoke in favor of the work Dawn Poitras has done and reviewing a petition signed by more than 180 middle school students, the board added Poitras partially grant-funded position to a list of cuts that include a behavior interventionist, a paraeducator, playground equipment and a tractor.
The newly adopted budget does include roughly $70,000 for the long-discussed creation of an assistant principals position and contemplates the hiring of an additional fifth-grade teacher.
Negotiated pay raises for teachers account for just over $300,000 of the proposed increase, and officials expect health insurance costs to climb by nearly $130,000.
Busing costs are also on the rise and are helping drive a double-digit increase in spending in a year when the districts bond payments are actually dropping by $200,000. Busing is expected to increase by nearly $150,000.
Special education costs continue to surge in the district and account for roughly one third nearly $4 million of the proposed budget. That is an increase of just over $1 million from the current years budget.
Adding to the pressure on this years budget is the anticipated loss of some federal funding. That accounts for some of the increases reflected in the budgets for Barre City Elementary and Middle School, Spaulding High School and the Barre Supervisory Union.
One of the big reasons that the anticipated tax rate increase isnt higher is that the common level of appraisal in Barre has increased for the third straight year, allowing for a corresponding reduction in the tax rate.
The common level of appraisal, or CLA, is a calculation the state uses to equalize property values from community to community for school funding purposes. If the state believes a municipalitys valuation of its property isnt current, it raises the tax rate a corresponding percentage.
In Barre that formula is working in reverse again this year, because the citys CLA climbed from 96.38 to 99.95 percent. Although officials havent said how much the tax rate would have increased if the CLA had simply stayed the same, they have indicated the projected 6.4-cent rate hike under the proposed budgets is significantly less than it would have been.
Board members talked about having made tough decisions, and one Riddle spoke forcefully about what she said was the finance committees protracted debate that pitted a proposal to purchase new textbooks against the need for a paraeducator to handle one students behavior. The textbooks, she said, won out.
But Riddle argued it is time for the board to seriously consider expelling students whose chronic behavior problems routinely disrupt classroom instruction and require expensive support services. Are we going to sink the Titanic to save the lifeboat? she asked.
However, Walz argued elementary school was probably too soon to give up on children some of whom come to the district with complex trauma histories.
I cant see a young child ever being expelled, she said. Thats what public education is (for). I think weve got to find ways to work with them.

say whoa???
holly ****! you gotta love thomas, last time i felt this good was when layden was fired
this just came in!!
Isiah Thomas has upgraded the Knicks point guard position in a way that New Yorkers have only dreamed about: Brooklyn-born Stephon Marbury is returning home. A league source told the Daily News that the Knicks were prepared to announce a blockbuster deal that would bring Marbury and Anfernee Hardaway from Phoenix to the Knicks for Antonio McDyess, Charlie Ward, Howard Eisley and the rights to former second round pick Milos Vujanic. The deal could be announced as early as this afternoon.

say whoa???
holly ****! you gotta love thomas, last time i felt this good was when layden was fired
No signature
don't mind if i stick this one!
No signature
Finally, a superstar back in New York. We haven't had one since Ew left. Marbury should makeup somewhat for KVH and Housless' 4Q shortcomings. I think there MIGHT be a slight problem with sharing the ball since Marbury is a shoot-first PG, but with Fwill backing him up there should still be enuff touches to get Housless involved in the offense.
Getting rid of Eisley's contract.... wow... I'd NEVER thought that was possible.!
we got rid of eisley? this is the best day of the year! Marbury!, Hardaway! oh this is to good to be true
to bad for williams, he just started to show us some game, i hope chaney won't forget about him
i wonder what jersey will stephon get? will he get the #3?
okay, so we have no dice (we should have seen more of him), no ward, no milos (the wait os over), but not even lampe (should have seen more of him)? i have a bad feeling about the last 2 of them, i know they'll become great , both of them but for now i'm excited abouyt marbury.
anyway, i love you zeke!
aight, this is official enough for meSeveral media outlets are reporting that the Suns will re-aquire forward Antonio McDyess, guards Howard Eisley and Charlie Ward, the rights to Milos Vujanic and two first round draft picks in exchange for guards Stephon Marbury and Penny Hardaway. KTAR is reporting that center Cezray Trybanski will be a part of the dea, as well.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Holy ****, I am excited!!!!
LOL. The Knicks are in playoff and they play in the playoffs with Sixers and Sixers win 4-3 , lol . The GM is simple one of the bests if not the best in tha league . And what team will have the Suns ? Congratulations for Knicks .
This says it all
Steve Popper of MSG writes:
"Here are the components of the deal: Marbury, Penny Hardaway and Cezary Trybanski come from Phoenix to New York and the Knicks package just about everything that wasn't nailed down back to Phoenix. Antonio McDyess, Charlie Ward, Eisley, Maciej Lampe, the rights to Milos Vujanic and a pair of first-round picks depart.
And really, the only thing that the Knicks regret are the draft picks. McDyess has shown himself to be far away from the player he was before the injuries, uncertain if he'll ever get to that level. Ward was a valuable piece, but only a bit piece. Eisley was a marginal player with a debilitating contract. Lampe has impressed no one in practice on a daily basis, least of all Isiah Thomas, who was soured on him after his first close-up view. And Vujanic, for all the hype, was assessed by one NBA scout as not even up to the level of Ward just this week."
Nuff said
Just read this morning that Thomas is in the market for a Power forward now....
I expect a deal involving Thomas and possibly F.Williams or M.Sweetney
it better not be williams, got a link?
let's take a look at our lineup:
SG: Houston
PG: Marbury
C: Mutombo
PF: Thomas
SF: Van Horn
Damm. Sometime your team will be best of Sixers . What a GM your team have . Starbury and Houston in the same team nice . And sometime your team it would be the next lakers(uuuu) WITH ALL STARS , lol.
I hear Thomas wants Rasheed for Van Horn
The blazers wan tto get rid of rasheed before he becomes a free agent, and the blazers are looking to aquire Van Horn.

The Zipper Worm Company has been putting out reasonably priced, high quality injection molded soft baits for a long time. Zipper uses top quality plastic, soft and tough, to create baits in time proven colors and designs that you can count on bag after bag. The colors are consistent and true, the tournament proven designs of these baits will catch fish in your home water. Each bait is permeated with garlic to mask the scent of your hands and attract bass to make them hang on longer. The famous ribbed design provides a texture that bass seem to respond to, and displaces lots of water making bass pay attention!
The Zipper Zip-Zit is an interesting version of the standard tube bait that everyone has used to catch fish with. The Zip-Zit features a thick, tough central core that will hold your hook even when you're flipping this bait into thick cover. The ribbed design will displace and move more water than a conventional tube, attracting more attention from hungry bass. The long, flowing tail will wave enticingly with the slightest movement of the bait. Use the Zip-Zit anywhere you'd use a regular tube or try something new with this unique bait.
0 Colors
Customer Reviews
Comments: These are strong little baits. They hold up well, despite being rigged and un rigged over and over. The tail could flair out a bit more, and eventually the ribbed parts begin to fall off. However, when fishing is tough, nothing is better than one of these c rigged and fished slowly.

Dynamic Positioning System
Press a button and the Dynamic Positioning System holds your boat´s heading and keeps it within a very limited area, even in a current or in windy conditions. A perfect feature for waiting at the fuel dock or for a bridge or lock to open. When docking, the Dynamic Positioning System gives you time to "freeze the moment" so that your crew can prepare fenders and lines totally stress free.
Hold the position!
When activated, the Dynamic Positioning System automatically holds your boat´s heading and keeps it within a very limited area. The system uses twin GPS receivers in the special antenna to determine the boat's position and heading. Sophisticated and specially developed software in the EVC system transforms this data into steering angles, gear shifts and throttle positions to keep the boat still. Engines, pods and propellers are therefore active and your boat should be regarded as under way with the driver responsible. No one should, of course, be in the water close to the boat.
Available for all models
The Dynamic Positioning System is available for all Volvo Penta IPS models from model year 2010 and later. It must be combined with low-speed mode (not gasoline), the new joystick control and the 7" color display. The Dynamic Positioning System is engaged by a button on the joystick control and disengaged by moving the control levers or pressing the button once again.
The antenna with twin GPS receivers feeds positioning information to the Dynamic Positioning System. The system is activated and deactivated by pushing a button on the new joystick and the 7" display shows system status.

The first worldwide PHP TestFest will be held in May 2008. The idea of the TestFest is simply to write more tests for the PHP language - this helps the PHP maintainers to test fixes and implementation of new features. So it's a good thing.
One of the little known facts about writing tests for PHP is that if you can write PHP you can write test cases. You don't need to be able to write C (although being able to read it does help). For PHP developers this is a great way to get involved in one of the most the successful open source projects of all time!
Many local PHP user groups are taking part in the TestFest, check the PHP Wiki for details and subscribe to the PHP QA list to hear about plans for other events. In most cases the user groups are running events aimed at helping people to learn how to write tests.
When new tests are written as part of the TestFest they will be reviewed by PHP test mentors. If the tests are good they'll become part of the PHP code base.
I did hear a rumour that there might be a limited edition T-shirt going to people who have five new tests accepted....there was also a whisper about ElePHPants....
Zoe Slattery
PS. My local UG (London) is running an event on May 8th - sign up here , the places are limited!

- Abstract
- Mg-based metallic glass interpenetrating phase composites (IPCs) containing 30-70 vol% titanium was fabricated in this study. The effects of reinforced phase volume fraction and interspace on the mechanical properties were investigated systematically. With increasing the volume fraction of titanium, the fracture strength and strain increased up to 1860 MPa and 44%, respectively. The results showed that the critical volume fraction (around 40%) of Ti metal should be required for significantly improving plasticity of IPC. Decreasing the interspace of the titanium phase could lead to enhancement of yield and fracture strength. The deformation behavior and strengthening mechanisms were discussed in detail.

Myth No. 1: Last year's sunscreen is still good
Unlike a fine wine, sunscreen does not improve with age.
In fact, sunscreen goes down hill pretty quickly, so if you have some leftover from last year, chuck it and spend a couple bucks and buy a new bottle/tube/spray can/whatever.
How do you know if it's old when you buy it from the store? It's like buying a steak -- check the expiration date (really; they're on there). If you're past the date, pass on that bottle. Expired sunscreen won't hurt you, but it has broken down and it's just not effective.
Ideally, you'll use the bottle up the same year you buy it, chuck the empty container, make it through the winter, and then buy a new one.
So glop it on, wear a hat, and don't live under the sun. You'll keep some oncologist from buying a yacht, and you'll be a lot healthier.

Now on Starbucks' menu: Less health coverage
Starbucks announced Monday that it will give its U.S. workers a raise that will boost compensation by 5% to 15%. That's very cool. The coffee giant also said it will offer employees more affordable health insurance that will cut costs by being less comprehensive. That's not so cool. —David Lazarus, LA TImes, 07/12/16 More »

I think we need to exploit this fact more. With anaerobic digesters and this technology, we can power our own future without fossil fuels.

The key difference between biofuels that are truly green and those that aren't is the source material: is it genuinely waste, or is it something like food or virgin wood, that could be put to better use? Well, there's one source about which there can be no doubt: sewage sludge. And a new study says that this poo-power can produce biodiesel that costs just 10 cents more than conventional diesel.
Photo by bjornmeansbear
Every year, Americans generate seven million tons of sewage sludge — the semi-solid stuff that remains after wastewater is treated — and disposing of it is a real mess. Adding oil-producing microorganisms and processing the results into biodiesel could kill two
turds birds with one stone, generating roughly seven billion gallons of fuel at just $3.11 a gallon. Conventional diesel costs about $3.00 a gallon.
The best practices for getting biodiesel this way have hardly been worked out yet, according to the study by EPA scientist David Kargbo. Among the biggest problems is finding a way to collect sludge that is high in lipids — the material the reaction uses — ensuring that traces of pharmaceutical chemicals don't make it into the fuel. Finally, regulators haven't even begun to assess what it would mean to transfer large amounts of sewage sludge to private companies for processing into biodiesel.

By Bob Huber: PNT columnist
One memorable Father's Day my son Glen and I conquered the rapids of the Rio Grande from Otowi Bridge to Cochiti Dam in a four-man rubber life raft. Even now, after all these years, I sometimes wake in the middle of the night shouting, "Hard a-port! No, starboard! EEAAIIIIII! Happy Father's Day!"
It began when Glen offered to take me on the Rio Grande excursion to see how the new Cochiti Dam had altered the splendor of the Rio Grande. He said his Father's Day gift would be celebrated by riding the last boat down the river before the dam calmed the waters.
I was warmed by the gift, but warned about the river. One friend said, "Be careful below Frijoles Canyon. I hear there are bad rapids down there. One is called The Vise."
"Rapids?" I said. "Ha ha. What's a little rapid?"
So on this warm Saturday in June, Glen and I stepped onto our craft and I tightened my May West life jacket and took a firm grip on my paddle, ever the stalwart adventurer. I thought what a grand gift Glen is giving me for Father's Day.
Glen, who was 15 at the time, kneeled in the bow of our rubber craft while I reluctantly accepted the lonely responsibility of ship's captain and huddled in the stern. We had 30 miles to go from Otowi Bridge to Cochiti, and I was excited. After all, I was an experienced outdoorsman having fished a couple of mountain streams and once spotted a deer in the headlights of my car.
I should state here that a great deal of preparation went into our expedition. We'd heard about crazies who tried to raft the Rio Grande without adequate provisions, and we didn't want to join that club. So to say our plans and supplies were more than adequate was to say Columbus had a Cleveland street map tucked in his hip pocket.
Our provisions included a dozen oranges, four sandwiches, a six-pack of Cokes, a box of candy bars, and five cigars. We were prepared for any eventuality.
Shortly after embarking we traversed our first rapid, a mile run of bumpy two-foot waves. Once through them we pulled ashore and discussed how skillful we were and how oranges tasted good after running rapids. Our hearts were light and gay as we traveled on.
Shortly we heard thunder. The gorge, meanwhile, had narrowed, pinching the river between 500-foot cliffs. I remember saying, "I hope it doesn't rain."
"I don't think that's thunder," Glen said as we rounded a gentle bend in the river and got our first glimpse of a genuine, sure enough, obscene, nasty old Rio Grande rapid.
A massive boulder the size of a courthouse split the river flow in two. On the left was a 20-foot waterfall, boiling and bubbling, while on the right rose a 10-foot wall of water, filling the air in a mushroom spray like an atomic blast. Just past these obstacles the cliffs pinched into a skinny slit meant only for flotsam. It had to be — THE VISE!
"Eeaaiiii! Hang On!" I shouted. "Eeaaiiii!"
"Eeaaiiii! No kidding!" Glen shouted back.
As we swept around the courthouse and over the falls at a speed of 500 knots, the screams of 1,000 hyenas and the bawling of a herd of water buffalo was in our ears, plus the blaring drum of unmufflered Peterbilt tractors and fog warnings from the Queen Mary. (I'm exaggerating here, because I really don't recall hearing the Queen Mary.)
It's difficult to recount exactly what happened next. Sometimes we rode upside down in the curls of massive waves. Sometimes we paddled vertically in a spiral only to be squashed down backwards into a 10-G crunch of millions of gallons of water.
Finally we shot out of The Vice's grip like a skipped rock, entering placid water dotted with floating oranges, sandwiches, candy bars, straw hats, and cigars. Glen said, "Dad, this might be a good time to give up smoking."
Later we faced more rapids, each one worse that its forerunner. On one of them I was swept overboard and would have seen my life flash before my eyes if there had been anything worth remembering. We stopped before each of the remaining rapids, checking wind velocity and noting the temperature of the water, before we portaged around them.
But say, don't get the notion that I was defeated by the river. I just vowed henceforth on Father's Day to always carry spare cigars and matches in waterproof containers safety-pinned to my underwear, just in case I run another dammed river.

Laurier enhances safety review process for teaching lab activity
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Apr 9/13
Wilfrid Laurier University has enhanced its safety review process for all teaching laboratory experiments that involve invasive procedures on human subjects.
Procedures for such experiments must be reviewed and approved by the universitys Teaching Safety Committee prior to commencement of the experiment. On an annual basis, and prior to each academic year, the universitys Safety, Health, Environment & Risk Assessment office will request verification that the review contains current experimental procedures.
For more information about the enhanced safety review process, and for copies of the relevant forms, please visit: http://www.wlu.ca/page.php?grp_id=159&p=23223
The enhancements to the safety review process are the result of the universitys commitment to review its safety processes following a possible health risk to some participants in a third-year Kinesiology and Physical Education course (Physiology of Physical Activity KP322) as a result of blood lactate level testing. There was an extremely low risk that the way in which the blood sampler device was used in the testing could have resulted in blood transmission among those course participants who volunteered to have their blood lactate levels tested.
The university contacted students and former students who may have volunteered for this testing and worked with the Region of Waterloo Public Health office to provide them with appropriate information. The university regrets the concern and stress that this situation may have caused those who participated in this particular lab experiment; to date, the university is not aware of anyone being adversely affected. For more information, please visit: www.wlu.ca/KP322info

Deeplinks Blog posts about Coders' Rights Project
D(EFF)CONtestants have until Wednesday, July 4, 2012 at 11:59:59 PM PDT to claim one of the top prizes in our third annual DEF CON fundraising contest! Included with this year's l33t loot for the top three: a stay at the Rio Hotel and Casino, DEF CON 20 Human Badges, Ninja Party badges, and passes to theSummit. In addition, every D(EFF)CONtestant who encourages their peers to raise at total of $500 or more will automatically receive a limited edition EFF DEF CON 20 Script Kitty t-shirt!
Coders have never been more important to the security of the Internet. By identifying and disclosing vulnerabilities, coders are able to improve security for every user who depends on information systems for their daily life and work. Yet this week, European Parliament will debate a new draft of a vague and sweeping computer crime legislation that threatens to create legal woes for researchers who expose security flaws.
With weeks left to go on our third annual fundraising contest, supporters have already raised over $4,000 in donations to help support EFF and the Coders' Rights Project! Our thanks to The Holy Handgrenades leading the pack at $1,410.78, with last year's Grand Prize Winners InfoSec Daily Podcast (ISDPodcast) at $801, followed closely by the dc404 crew at $675. You're doing great! EFF's annual D(EFF)CONtest helps fund tireless legal defense, activism, counseling, and community education for professional security researchers and tinkerers alike. Through these donor-supported efforts, EFF stands behind everyone who values knowledge and the freedom to innovate.
Two weeks ago, Steve Wozniak made a public call for Apple to open its platforms for those who wish to tinker, tweak and innovate with their internals.
EFF supports Wozniak's position: while Apple's products have many virtues, they are marred by an ugly set of restrictions on what users and programmers can do with them. This is most especially true of iOS, though other Apple products sometimes suffer in the same way. In this article we will delve into the kinds of restrictions that Apple, phone companies, and Microsoft have been imposing on mobile computers; the excuses these companies make when they impose these restrictions; the dangers this is creating for open innovation; why Apple in particular should lead the way in fixing this mess. We also propose a bill of rights that need to be secured for people who are purchasing smartphones and other pocket computers.
As the European Parliament considers passing a directive that would target hacking, EFF has submitted comments urging the legislators not to create legal woes for researchers who expose security flaws.

Find Your Passion: Sign Points Fulbright Scholar to China
By Bill Gerdes
A 30-minute tour of The University of Alabama in 2006 changed Jessica Hetherington's life.
During the visit, Hetherington, then 17, noticed a sign congratulating the winner of a Fulbright Scholarship.
"I had no idea at that time what the sign meant, but I knew it had to be a pretty significant award to merit its own sign," recalls the 22-year-old senior, who is majoring in economics with a concentration in world business.
When she returned to her Dadeville home, she researched the Fulbright Scholarship and its emphasis on research abroad and decided to make a Fulbright Scholarship her goal.
She has achieved that goal and later this summer will head for China on a Fulbright Scholarship, the fifth time she has visited the country. This time she will conduct research comparing and contrasting the personal economic profiles of urban migrant workers – Mingong – with the rural peasants who remain in rural areas and analyze the impact the workers have on the economy.
China has had the fastest growing major economy in the world for the past 30 years with an average annual gross domestic product growth rate of more than 10 percent.
Hetherington says she had planned all along to learn a foreign language, either Russian or Chinese, and from the beginning of her time at UA was aiming at a concentration in international business.
"I was leaning toward Chinese because of the country's rich culture," she says. That "leaning" became a passion for the people, culture and language of China.
"I enrolled in a Chinese class (she earned a minor in Mandarin Chinese), I began studying Chinese culture, and I began reaching out to Chinese students who came to UA to study English. I helped them set up bank accounts, learn how to shop economically, but most importantly, I taught them how to navigate American university society."
She also was driven, she says, to learn more about the world, particularly China.
"I co-created the University's first Chinese Culture Club," she says, and she is president of the Alabama International Relations Club. She credits the AIRC with increasing her interest in international business. The AIRC contributes to the advancement of international cooperation and leadership development through two significant initiatives. UA students developed a volunteer foreign language program for local middle school students, and they hosted the 2010 Alabama Model U.N. Conference for regional high school students.
Hetherington's passion for China was fueled even more, she says, when she visited China for a semester language program, where she structured and facilitated an International Relations Club at Shandong Economic Institute and held a three-day Model United Nations Forum.
"I was really touched when nearly half of the students stayed afterward to speak with me. When one of the professors came up to me and said, 'I had no idea Americans were so open and kind-hearted,' I knew I was doing what I was meant to do," she says.
While in China, she spent a month traveling the China coast and climbed the Himalayas and visited a number of Tibetan Buddhist temples. Her most recent visit was last fall when she finalized details of her stay and study with Chinese officials.
"The Chinese people are very hospitable," she says.
Hetherington says she plans to be in China through 2011 when she completes her research projects and submits the report to government officials. Her study area is Changechun, capital of Jilin Province in northeastern China where an elevated transit system will be under construction and will draw a large number of migrant workers. Following that, she plans to return to UA to present her work, then pursue a doctoral degree at Stanford or Harvard where she hopes to compare Chinese and American migrant workers.
"The issue of migrant workers is not an issue completely unique to China but an international issue inherently present in our globalized society," she said.
Hetherington is the daughter of Samuel and Glenda Hetherington. Her mother is a registered nurse, and her father is a civil engineer. She has an older sister, Jennifer Hetherington, who graduated from UA in December 2009 and now works in Washington, D.C. as a construction engineer.
She enjoys dancing and running half and full marathons.
