Return to uncertainty: In what should come as a surprise to no one familiar with the Packers' special-teams mentality, leading receiver Randall Cobb and rookies Johnathan Franklin and Micah Hyde will all see action in the return game.
McCarthy said Friday after practice that the threesome would be used in a "situational" approach. Expect Franklin to handle kickoffs and Hyde to handle punts whenever Cobb isn't called upon to do them. The Packers took the week to examine their options after releasing returner Jeremy Ross on Sept. 23, one day after he fumbled a kickoff that led to a touchdown in the Packers' pre-bye loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
"It's a game plan decision based on when and where," McCarthy said.
The Packers' average starting position after kickoffs is an anemic 19.1-yard line, the second-worst in the 32-team league ahead of only the Lions (18.7). Franklin figures to get the call there, but if they're in dire need of a spark, the Packers won't hesitate to use Cobb. Historically, McCarthy and special teams coordinator Shawn Slocum have eschewed the theory that any key offensive or defensive player is too valuable to use on returns.
"I can understand that view, but I would think you'd understand my view on it, and philosophically you have to make a decision what direction you want to go," Slocum said. "Going back to when we first got here as a staff, Charles Woodson was our punt returner. The punt return play, I think, has a little less risk for the big hit for a returner than the kickoff return play. It's something that we weigh in terms of how our whole game plan going into a ball game is and how we're going to apply it, and we make those decisions based on that detail."
That's why Cobb is more likely to see time on punt returns, although Hyde, a rookie cornerback from Iowa who served as the Hawkeyes' punt returner for two seasons, will see action too.
"Anywhere they put me. I have no idea what's going on upstairs," Hyde said. "If I get thrown back there, I'll do my best. I don't know what they're thinking."
Recognizable Reggie: Packers linebacker Clay Matthews hasn't seen this Reggie Bush since he was on the USC scout-team defense trying to stop the Trojans' star. Packers cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt just wishes the Lions running back hadn't decided to have his renaissance coincide with his arrival in the NFC North.
"Let me tell you, this is the Reggie Bush that everybody has been talking about when he got drafted," Whitt said of Bush, who was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, when the Packers took linebacker A.J. Hawk fifth. "This guy here is running the ball unbelievable. His screen game, catching the ball out of the backfield has always been good. In-between the tackles, he's hitting it, he's running and making people miss and breaking tackles. He's running with an edge and balance. I've never seen him play like this. I hate that he's in our division playing like this now, but credit to him he's really a difference-maker right now."
Bush enters the game having carried 48 times for 254 yards (5.3-yard average) while also catching 11 passes for 179 yards, including a 77-yard touchdown. While he missed the Lions' victory over Washington two weeks ago with a knee injury, he's back to being the electrifying player he was in college.
"That was when we were winning championships there, and I was the low man on the totem pole and had to play scout team," Matthews recalled. "He's a great player and obviously he gave me a fair share of 'Welcome to college' (moments). Maybe now it would be the other way around. … He's been playing fantastic, especially coming off last week, just looking really good, so he's definitely someone we'll have to keep our eyes on."

The Wall Street Journal reports on a landmark breast cancer study led by Joseph Sparano, M.D. Their research validates a genomic test, which allows many women with early-stage disease to safely skip chemotherapy. Dr. Sparano is vice chairman of medical oncology at Montefiore Einstein Center for Cancer Care, professor of medicine and of obstetrics and gynecology & women's health at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and associate director of clinical research at the NCI-designated Albert Einstein Cancer Center.(Monday, September 28, 2015)

NBC Nightly News interviews Joseph Sparano, M.D., about his study that found just being overweight increases the risk of breast cancer recurrence. Dr. Sparano notes that the link between obesity and cancer remains regardless of treatment and that reducing weight may reduce risk of recurrence. Dr. Sparano is professor of medicine and of obstetrics & gynecology and women's health at Einstein and chief of the section of breast medical oncology at Montefiore Einstein Center for Cancer Care.(Tuesday, August 28, 2012)

The Los Angeles Times interviews Joseph Sparano, M.D., in an article on the growing evidence linking obesity with increased risk of cancer and mortality. Researchers estimate that approximately 14% of cancer deaths in men and 20% in women are due to individuals being overweight or obese. Dr. Sparano comments on the results of the Women's Intervention Nutrition Study, which found that the risk of breast cancer recurrence dropped by 25% in patients who stuck to a low-fat diet. He notes that if those results were due to a drug rather than a diet, it would be considered an effective treatment. Dr. Sparano is professor of medicine and of obstetrics & gynecology and women's health and associate chair of oncology at Montefiore Medical Center. (Monday, March 07, 2011)
CNN.com interviews Dr. Joseph Sparano about the FDA's controversial decision to phase out the drug Avastin as a treatment for metastatic breast cancer. The FDA says Avastin's side effects outweigh potential benefits for those with metastatic cancer. Dr. Sparano notes the announcement still allows doctors to prescribe Avastin for metastatic breast cancer, but only for those who can afford it, rather than those who medically could benefit from it. The FDA announcement does not affect Avastin's status as an approved therapy for lung, kidney, colorectal and brain cancers. Dr. Sparano is professor of medicine (oncology) and of obstetrics & gynecology and women's health. (Friday, December 17, 2010)
Bloomberg highlights research by Joseph Sparano, M.D., that found obese women who have a type of breast cancer fueled by estrogen are more likely to die of the disease than their slimmer peers. Dr. Sparano notes that breast cancer patients who are already overweight or obese should make an effort to avoid further weight gain and that they should get nutritional evaluations. Dr. Sparano is professor of medicine and of obstetrics & gynecology and women's health and associate chair of oncology at Montefiore Medical Center. (Thursday, December 09, 2010)

Lauzon: State approves TIF district
BARRE The city won approval Thursday from the Vermont Economic Progress Council to create the states last legislatively approved tax increment financing district, said Mayor Thomas Lauzon.
He has been the most outspoken proponent of what he views as an invaluable economic development tool.
The city of Barre will join other municipalities such as Burlington, Winooski, St. Albans and Hartford, to name a few, who have tax increment financing as an economic tool to support private and municipal development, Lauzon said. Like those communities, we will use it well and will promote smart growth in our central business district.
Barres TIF district essentially mirrors the boundaries of its downtown and, if voters also approve it, would put the city in a position to redirect some tax revenues which otherwise would go to the state to finance public infrastructure projects over a 20-year period.
City officials have identified enhanced parking and the redevelopment of Merchants Row as projects that might be funded with money generated by development in the TIF district.
Voters will likely be asked on Town Meeting Day in March to establish a debt ceiling for the TIF district. Once the debt ceiling is set, city officials will develop a specific proposal that they say would require an additional public vote before any debt is incurred.MORE IN Central VermontMIDDLEBURY According to WebMD, Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes a persons muscles ...

Doctors in Mexico removed a 33-pound tumor from a 2-year-old boy who only weighed 26 pounds.
Jesus Rodriguez, from the northern state of Durango, was born with the benign lump that eventually took over the right side of his body, stretching from his armpit to his hip, The Daily Mail reported.
It took doctors at the La Raza Medical Center in Mexico City 10 hours to remove the tumor on June 14, Dr. Gustavo Hernandez, the hospital's director of pediatrics, told The Associated Press.
But the surgery was successful and Jesus is recovering and doing well.
Doctors said it was the first time they had removed a tumor larger than the person carrying it, The Daily Mail reported.

I was just about to say take Smith out and put Toney Douglas, or Jorts, Jordan in that lineup....but Smith hit two goodies.
PS you should change your name to "LeFart." Think it will suit u better...
killing the blazers but the arena seems dead
Even on a night where we are dominating, we still got outscored by 9 points in the 3rd quarter. The Mike Woodson era needs to be at least partially about fixing our inability to play coming out of the half.
Q3: POR @ NYK 25:23... that 3rd quarter curse hangs upon this team.
Make it outscored by 11 points in the 3rd quarter
No, wait, nevermind, my math is way off on that 3rd quarter scoring

No surprise, 80% of US adults do NOT want targeted ads. 24% think they have no control over information shared online.
How will US adults feel when they learn they have no control over sensitive electronic health information? Despite the new Omnibus Privacy Rule, there is still no way we can stop our electronic health records from being disclosed or sold. The only actions we can take are avoiding treatment altogether or seeking physicians who use paper records and paying for treatment ourselves. No one should be faced with such bad choices. There is no reason we should have to give up privacy to benefit from technology.
Today, the only way to prevent OUR health information from being disclosed or sold to hidden third parties is to avoid electronic health systems as much as possible. That puts us in a terrible situation, because technology could have been used to ensure our control over our health data. The stimulus billions can still be used to build trustworthy technology systems that ensure we control personal health information. Institutions, corporations, and government agencies should not control our records and should have to ask us for consent before using our them.

Do NOT Put JA Happ In The Bullpen!
I have been campaigning for JA Happ all year and tonight, he pitched a 4-hit complete game shut-out against the Rockies in a 7-0 win. It was his second complete game shut-out this year. On top of that, he hit a double in the game as well. What else do the Phillies need from this kid?
With Pedro Martinez lurking in the wings, one of the starters will likely have to go in the pen. Rumor has it that the Phillies will not do that to Jamie Moyer because of his status in the league; Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee and Joe Blanton are locks. So JA Happ appears to be the odd man out when Martinez arrives from his rehab starts, unless they go with a 6-man rotation.
I have the solution. Go with what I am calling a 5 ½ man rotation; you start Lee, Hamels, Blanton, Happ and on day 5, tell Moyer and Martinez that they will get 4-5 innings a piece and rotate who actually "starts" in the 1st inning each time around the rotation. With the advanced ages of these two guys, they will benefit from the shortened starts. This will mean fewer pitches, less fatigue and fewer opportunities for opponents to make adjustments on each of them.
Plus, this gives the Phillies wiggle room if someone gets hurt or if either Moyer or Martinez starts off the game badly. Pull him out and put in the 2nd guy. They will always be on the same 5 day schedule so no worries about messing up their rhythm either. And there will be less stress on the bullpen as they should get used a bit less. Moyer has gone less than six innings four times in his last 7 starts. This rotation solves that problem.
Especially after tonight's performance, there is NO way the Phillies can justify putting Happ in the pen. They need a solution and here it is. Now if only someone would actually listen….
Ok, more photos! I have posted the non-baseball photos from my San Francisco trip on Facebook. Photo Album #1 contains Alcatraz, the Golden Gate & Bay bridges, the Aquarium and city photos.

Jenn, I think you mean 4 1/2, not 5 1/2. The only problem is that it would effectively remove one bullpen arm on the other 4 days, which won't be a problem if the Phils starters can finish 7 innings a game. Regardless, I agree with you. The only people who want to see Happ in the pen are the players and fans of all the other teams.
Wow! I had the same idea earlier this evening. I think the 5-1/2 man rotation could work as neither Pedro or Jamie can really go more than 5 innings. Have both pitchers prep just like they are going to start. Plus yo uwill be giving the opposition two different looks- fastball dealing right-hander and soft-tossing left-hander.
5 1/2 is right – technically, we'd have 6 starters, but 2 of them only going part of a game each, so 5 1/2. And yeah, I am sure our opponents would love to see the Phils make a bonehead move like putting Happ in the pen.
I am still not convinced Martinez is ready, I think we are going to see from him what we saw from Park in the rotation, Martinez may seem okay in AAA, but the big guys are going to kill him and personally I would rather Moyer start than Martinez…
Peter – my thoughts exactly; 3 runs allowed in 6 inn. of a AA game? Not impressed. I say either they split Jamie & Pedro or release Pedro.
Jenn – As a fan of another team, I don't think that the Phillies should give up on Happ and move him to the 'pen.
He's a good solid pitcher. You'll need him in the months ahead.
I agree that JA Happ should remain in the rotation. He is too good to go to the bullpen.
Hey, Jenn, seems Larry Shenk is intriqued by your suggestion.
And I agree, I think Happ should stay where he is right now, unless Pedro can really convince that he has his old form back.
I don't know how Martinez and Moyer–two successful veterans–would take to being considered a 1/2, but I like your idea. Or you could just go tot a 6 man rotation. Hamels has not been himself this year, so maybe giving him an extra day off and reducing his season by a start or two will keep him fresh for the playoffs.
Moyer will be put on The DL with some kind of strain and Pedro will get a couple of starts to see what he can do. Then Charlie will decide what is best for the team.
Interesting concept, but wouldn't work in the NL, unless the Phils are ahead in evey game. Let's say Moyer goes first 5, Pedro comes in in the sixth, bottom of sixth of a game we're losing, the Phils have them loaded and pitchers spot is up, they HAVE to pinch hit. If this were the AL, it is definitely something that could work.

The Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey is conducting its first population study since 1991.
The telephone and online survey is expected to last through the end of September and focus on Jewish households in Burlington, Camden and Gloucester Counties. The 1991 survey reported that there were 50,000 Jews living in those counties.
The 2009 "Jewish Population Study of Greater Philadelphia" reported roughly 214,700 Jews living in the five country area on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River. The results of that survey have been dissected as Jewish organization and synagogues have sought to use the data to understand trends like the high rate of intermarriage among young adults.
The New Jersey survey is being conducted by the Melior Group, a market research firm. Federation officials would not disclose the cost of the project.
"Doing this with a market research firm is a bit different than a traditional demographic study," said Ronit Boyd, planning director for the federation. She explained that they chose a less costly option. "I believe it is a new trend."
Initial findings are expected to be presented at Federation's annual meeting on Oct. 13, said Boyd. She said, over the winter, there will also be town hall presentations in various communal locations.

We all know Dolan's ego.
LIN was signed to an offer sheet by HOU. Knicks told LIN personally they would match it. LIN then went & relayed that intel to HOU; then flew out to LV to meet with HOU & redo the contract.
His career in NY ended right there.
Word reached Knicks that HOU was sending over a re-worked offer sheet. Grunwald avoided the messenger, buying time while they reached out to Felton to see if that door was still open. It took HOU almost 36 hours to deliver new offer sheet.
LIN played in 26 games. Has a knee injury. Wont benefit from D'antoni's offense. And he was exposed by MIA. Knicks have to build themsevles to beat BOS & MIA this season. LIN will not help them do this.
LIN is nice, but giving Jeremy 15 mil in year-3 is insanity. You know what LIN is in HOU? Kyle Lowry. What?
Yeah, Lowry was fantastic the first half of last season... but he barely made a sound down South. NY made LIN. He didn't make NY.
There's a chance LIN is legit, and he blooms into a true all-star PG. But NYK isn't in the position to take chances. I would prefer Felton, Kurt Thomas plus a Grant Hill (or some SG) over just adding LIN.
NYK is all-in to win this 2012-2013 season. I think it's best to let LIN go.

Rautavaara: Into the heart of light in Finland and Scotland(November 2012)
Into the heart of light, Rautavaara's new work for string orchestra, was premiered in Finland in September and is touring Scotland in December.
Einojuhani Rautavaara's new work for string orchestra, Into the heart of light, was premiered in Kokkola in September. Commissioned by the Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra to celebrate its 40th anniversary and dedicated to its director Juha Kangas, the 15-minute work is the fifth in the composer's Canto series.
During its composition, ideas and motives took on an inner life as Rautavaara describes: "As a natural scientist would say: an emergence takes place. And something began to brighten up gradually, a certain kind of light towards which this music was moving."
"Rautavaara's music is easy to like and Into the heart of light is no exception. The harmonies and chords are fascinating, the music flows, undulates and strives purposefully towards the light. The music creates the illusion of being underwater in the darkness, looking upwards towards a distantly shining light… The strings sound magnificent... Impressive!" Keskipohjanmaa

The Filibuster
Earlier this week, MLB was making a big deal out of David Wright being just a homerun shy of hitting for the cycle. Was this just a marketing ploy to get more people to watch the game or is hitting for the cycle really that big of a deal? In other words, is it really an achievement of great baseball prowess or is it just a silly coincidence that happens to be somewhat interesting? Keep in mind that guys like César Tovar, Vic Wertz and Randy Hundley (hardly household names) have hit for the cycle, yet no one seems to care.
Interesting question, Mr. Lung. And I must say, I'm of two minds on this. First of all, if a guy is able to pick up 4 hits in a nine inning game, that's pretty good. And if three of the four are four extra bases, that's even better. I only wish the Tigers could start doing that on a regular basis. And I'm talking as a team here, not just any individual player.
However, I have to say, and I'm sure you agree with me here, that hitting for the cycle is in and of itself nothing more than a fluke. Why should we care more about a guy who gets a single, double, triple and homerun in one game than we should about a guy who hits four homers in a game? The simple answer is that we shouldn't.
Now, I understand that as the salaries of ballplayers continue to rise and as parks are charging more and more outrageous prices, MLB wants to get it's cut and that means getting more people interested. Sometimes that means hyping something that really isn't that big of a deal. And why not pick something that has a somewhat esoteric name like, "The Cycle?" I respect that.
But any true baseball fan can see through the hype and pick out what's behind MLB's ploy. It's money, pure and simple. And this brings me to something even more important than Reyes and Wright and their ball-thumping theatrics.
This past week we saw Evan Longoria, the Rays
soon-to-be-star third baseman, sign a long term contract for less than he
probably could have gotten if he waited for free agency. And he also waived his
arbitration rights. Now, I know that some members of the player's union are up
in arms over this move but I like it. I think baseball players deserve what
they get paid (although this is a topic for another time) but I also think that
the situation needs to be pulled back into shape. The line between team loyalty
and getting what you deserve has been distorted in the last few seasons and
something had to be done in order to bring it back into somewhat of a stasis.
Longoria's contract, although it's just a small part of the trend, could help
with this correction. And to be completely honest with you, I think that when
the average fan sees a ballplayer acting like an average guy instead of a prima
donna, that's going to be the best marketing MLB could have asked for.

Well spoken. I could reallly care less if someone gets the cycle, unless it adds fantasy points to my team or the team that I am facing…
I'm sad that there was no mention of Cesar Tovar, Vic Wertz or Randy Hundley even though I handed you those gems on a silver platter. But for once, yeah, I kinda agree with you on all points. I like the Longoria deal. Don't really care about the cycle. Still sad there was no mention of Tovar, Wertz or Hundley. Randy Hundley dude! Come on!!
Conor Jackson needed a double to hit for the cycle earlier this week, but stretched it into a triple. So I don't know how many actual cycles are "genuine" anyway. On the subject of salaries the most annoying thing to hear is that a player is "playing for a contract". Firstly, is it true that he didn't really try as hard prior to his final year,and secondly, why would anyone sign a player who did such a thing?
Excellent post.
I think mid and small market teams realize it makes sense to identify and sign up their young studs to avoid (or postpone) rising free agency costs. I'm not sure players are demonstrating more loyalty by accepting these offers though. Risk is essentially being transferred from the player to the club, which is worth something to a young player. I agree fans will perceive this as player loyalty, but it's still a purely economic decision – on both sides.
Great call on the cycle having its roots in money. Reminds me of the time AZ made a huge song and dance over Luis Gonzalez joining Babe Ruth and a dozen other HOFers in the "300 homer, 500 doubles Club", contrived just for that occasion.
Just my opinion, but if someone GIVES you Cesar Tovar, it's pretty rude not to take it. I mean, it's Cesar **ckin' Tovar!
For real, Tovar… I mean, seriously, Al. Never mind that 800 lb gorilla in the room. Jeesh.
And good for Connor. Screw the double if you can get three.

Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium
Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium, which seats 5,500, was completed in 1999, while the Jay and Dot Buikema Track was resurfaced in 1997 and a Safeplay Plus artificial playing surface was installed in 2002, making North Central the first CCIW institution to play on artificial turf. In summer 2011, a new state-of-the-art Field Turf surface was installed and the track was resurfaced once again.
The Stadium has hosted numerous high-profile events, including the Illinois high school boys and women's soccer state finals and the Wes Spencer Crosstown Classic, the annual football showdown between Naperville North and Naperville Central high schools. It also served as the temporary home of the Chicago Fire for two seasons.
Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium also has a wide variety of classrooms, which can be used for community education courses, conferences, or meeting rooms.
The building is located at 445 S Brainard Street.

A Lot Of K's And A "Foul" Ball
There was so little contact with the ball in last night's Phillies-Red Sox match-up, that for most of the game, the fielders looked like this:
The Phillies pitchers struck out 14 batters and the Sox struck out 20 batters. Phillies starter Joe Blanton had a great game, giving up just 2 solo homers in 7 innings. But Jon Lester of the Sox out-pitched him by 1 run. It was a classic pitcher's duel, but left many fans at the park were left wondering if they should have brought their pillows.
The greatest excitement for most of the game was watching the emotional JC Romero pitch against the team that let him go in 2007 (thank you, Sox!). In his usual style, Romero was all over the zone, but effective. He pitched part of the 8th and the entire 9th while allowing only 1 hit and 1 walk. JC, we are SO happy to have you back!
Phillies fans were woken from their slumber though in the bottom of the 9th when Ryan Howard hit a solo home run to tie the game at 2-2. Extra innings followed, for the 3rd game in a row, but the Phillies were robbed of the win from the umpire (in my opinion anyway).
Greg Dobbs hit what should have been a 2-run homer that was called a foul ball in the 11th inning. Jim Joyce, who called it foul, refused to check the replay after manager Charlie Manuel requested it. Tell me why then do we have Instant Replay? Wasn't the entire purpose to check on game changing calls?
Look at the photo to the right; I freeze framed the video right as the ball passes the pole. If the pole were taller, the ball would have hit it. Therefore, it is a fair ball – game over. But either Joyce is a Red Sox fan or he just likes staying up all night into extra innings. At the very least, he should have reviewed it. If he did so and still called it foul, fine. I can live with that. But the fact that he just flat out refused? Unacceptable.
But as we all know, umpires can screw with games as often as they like and suffer no consequences. So, on to the 12th inning they went… was recalled from the minors today after Scott Eyre was placed on the 15-day DL before the game with a calf strain. This is a big shot to the Phillies bullpen. Eyre has been great this year with a 2.57 ERA in 25 games. And Kendrick trying to replace him, clearly was not up to the challenge. He did fine in the 12th but then allowed 3 runs to the Sox in the 13th, losing the game for the Phillies.
So despite the amazing pitching (except Kendrick), and the 2-run homer that was called foul from Dobbs, the Phillies went down 5-2 in this first game of three. I am getting ready to go to the game tonight and will be packing an extra set of glasses for Mr. Joyce. Oh, and if I could somehow impart some common sense and decency onto him, I would gladly do that as well.

Ahhh note to Bud Selig, great replay rule, now we need a new rule on an appeal directly to the MLB control center in New York!
How can these umps have not replayed this is a crime. That's what the technology is there for, if it's in question it should be reviewed!
There's a new Phillies fan's magazine out, get it while it's hot!
Jenn – It was a tight game all night. I'm not a fan of instant replay but I didn't realize that the ump could choose not to use it when it was requested. That doesn't make sense. I am sorry that John Lester didn't get the win – he has another great game. It is nice to see him back in form. Enjoy the game tonight!
Why have the replay rule in effect and not use it? That's outrageous, especially in such a close game. Sorry about that, Jenn. Now you have to do double duty in our deal and win today and tomorrow!
I'm sorry to all you Philly fans……but your conspiracy theory doesn't hold up. If you look at where the ball landed, which was in the back of the first deck, There is no possible way for it to clear a foul pole that extends above the third deck. If the ball had gone over the flag pole. It would have to landed in the second deck at a minimum.
sorry …. thats FOUL pole
Here guys let me explain to you this. Just cause there a tool for replay does not mean they will use it when the team or fans want it used. He didn't even bother asking his partners for help. So that to me he either clearly saw it foul. I am not sure how much i believe that's the ball but i am going to look at it closer. June it does not matter where it cross. or lands. as looking into the picture from a red sox fans that clearly should of been a home run but you also got to understand that the umpire just saw it hit the foul side and call it that. you had to frame to make a point. it was over the foul pole should of been home run. That said youk got the same call with his foul ball in fenway. when it was check and they still called it foul.
what i am going to assume is that the umpire view could of easily been block.
you guys can take a chill pill seriouisly it was one call move on. no need to be rude to umpire or not. cause you don't like one thing he called his looking up were looking at a frame.

The Dish
Tag: "What's Hot in 2013
In national survey, chefs and bartenders say what's hot for food/drinks in 2013
- 6:43 pm Wednesday, December 5th, 2012 by M.M. Cloutier
No surprise: The nearly 1,900 members of the American Culinary Federation who responded to a "What's Hot in 2013" survey by the National Restaurant Association said locally sourced meats, seafood and produce was tops.
Nutrition, particularly in kids' meals, and sustainability were other forecasted trends, according to the survey conducted in October and November. Gluten-free items also remained a hot-button topic, as it did in last year's survey.
What's new this year? Black or "forbidden" rice, which came in at No. 19 of the top 20 chef-cited trends for 2013, and "environmental sustainability as a culinary theme" ranking high.

Movement Disorders Research & Rehabilitation Centre (MDRC)
Laurier Parkinsons researcher named North American Early Career Distinguished Scholar
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Apr 10/12| For Immediate Release
Quincy Almeida, Associate Professor and Director
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO Quincy Almeida, director of Lauriers Sun Life Movement Disorders Research & Rehabilitation Centre (MDRC), has been chosen as the 2012 Early Career Distinguished Scholar by the North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity (NASPSPA).
The annual award recognizes the outstanding achievement of researchers who are still in the early stages of their scientific careers. The awards committee noted that Almeidas productivity, the quality of his work, the quality of the journals in which he has published were factors in its decision.
This award is fitting recognition of Quincys achievements in the area of Parkinsons disease research, said Dean of Science Paul Jessop. Under his leadership, the MDRC has developed an international reputation for excellence.
A professor in the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education, Almeida is an expert on movement disorders such as Parkinsons disease. His research is focused on the neurocognitive and neuromotor mechanisms of how movements are planned, learned and controlled, with specific interest in dysfunctions originating in the brains basal ganglia.
Almeida is also the founder and director of the MDRC, where much of his research is conducted and applied. The MDRC is an internationally recognized centre that integrates motor control, rehabilitation and exercise science for the investigation and treatment of movement disorders.
Hundreds of Laurier students have worked in our rehabilitation programs, and produced undergraduate and graduate theses as part of their work, said Almeida. It is the contributions of all those students and of our clients who participate in our research studies that made the work possible. This is really an award for the centre, and for Laurier.
Almeidas award was publicly announced today at the MDRC during an event to mark the lead-up to World Parkinsons Day, held annually on April 11. The event featured a human tulip made up of 150 Parkinsons supporters carrying red and white balloons in the shape of the Parkinson tulip, a cultivar developed by a horticulturalist with Parkinsons that has become an international symbol of the disease.
The North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity is a multidisciplinary association of scholars from the behavioural sciences and related professions. The group works to advance the scientific study of human behavior in sport and physical activity.

City wouldn't refuse public parklet'
MONTPELIER A local architect pitched his plan to build a public parklet for downtown Montpelier to a cautiously receptive City Council this week.
Ward Joyce, who lives in Montpelier and teaches architecture at Vermont Technical College in Randolph Center, told councilors that his students are working on four designs for parklets portable landscaped decks placed adjacent to sidewalks in urban settings. He said he is prepared to have one built, at no cost to the city, and placed on a prominent State Street bridge.
The Rialto Bridge is probably the most social spot in town, Joyce said. Its where the sun shines in a fabulous way in the afternoons.
It is also, Joyce said, the spot where those employed in both city and state government converge in the capital.
I think its a perfect place to have a public amenity developed on a trial two-year basis, he said.
Joyce said hes already raised two-thirds of the money needed for construction, persuaded his employer to cover the cost of insuring it, and is working on a plan to have downtown merchants take turns maintaining it.
Its not for a business, Joyce stressed. Its purely a public space.
Or it will be, if and when Joyce obtains approval from Montpelier Alive for a seasonal structure that would fill two parking spaces but wont need a thumbs-up from the citys Development Review Board. Montpelier Alive is spearheading a process to establish parklets downtown.
Due largely to parklets temporary nature, city officials have concluded they wont require zoning permits and arent subject to the citys design review standards.
They will require a $50 application fee and be subject to an annual parking replacement charge of $810 per parking space.
Given the public nature of his proposal, Joyce asked councilors to waive those fees in exchange for what he described as a gift to the city.
Councilors did as they were asked, though they warned there is no guarantee Joyces proposal will be awarded any of the six parking spaces the council has provisionally agreed could be occupied by parklets during the summer months during a two-year trial period. That decision, they said, would be made as part of a competitive process that is in limbo pending voter approval of a package of charter changes on Town Meeting Day.
One of those changes would give the city the authority to do what it was advised it couldnt last year: allow private businesses to set up shop in parklets in the public right of way.
However, City Manager William Fraser said it is unclear whether that change is needed to go ahead with the parklet Joyce proposed.
This would be a public use of a public space, Fraser said, suggesting it was different from three private proposals that stalled despite the citys endorsement last year.
Councilors asked Fraser to seek a clarification from the state on that point. But they indicated their desire for Joyces proposal to be considered as part of a process that will be spearheaded by Montpelier Alive if the charter changes are approved.
Councilor Alan Weiss warned that even if the voters support the proposed changes to the city charter, there is no guarantee they will be approved by the Legislature this session.
If its not (approved by the Legislature), Im not convinced the city could go ahead with this plan, Weiss said.
Weiss, who expressed lingering concern that parklets public or private run afoul of the conditions for issuing permits for outside seating in the public right of way, noted the site Joyce selected was already a popular gathering spot for local youth.
Understand, were not building these for the general public, were not building these for our visitors, were building these for the teenagers who enjoy sitting in that warm sunshine, Weiss said.
Theres nothing wrong with that, according to Councilor Thierry Guerlain.
I know theres going to be days when its too noisy and its too rowdy, but these are our kids, he said, noting local youth have never taken to the plaza in front of City Hall and have been discouraged from congregating in front of City Center.
I like the idea were going to have a place where kids can hang out, he said.
However, Guerlain did worry that parklets particularly public ones could become attractive nuisances.
I like the idea, but Im wondering how we monitor whats going on in the parklet, he said, suggesting he wouldnt want people sleeping in them.
Guerlain predicted the two-year trial period the council proposed would give city officials and residents an opportunity to decide whether parklets add something worth keeping to downtown Montpelier, or are simply a seasonal waste of parking spaces.
Councilor Anne Watson said she was pulling for the former.
I hope that theyre safe and theyre beautiful and they enrich the town, she said, suggesting it was important for the council to establish criteria for evaluating the experiment in advance.
Mayor John Hollar agreed.
Not everybody is going to love these, he predicted. Theres been some push back already.
That said, Hollar noted the parklet concept enjoys the near-unanimous support of the council at least to give it a try.
If it doesnt work well reconsider it, he said.

Bandwidth Controller Personal Edition descriptionBandwidth management and traffic shaping freeware for Windows 2000, XP and 2003 ServerTraffic Shaper XP is a complete bandwidth management solution for IP based networks. It provides network administrators with traffic shaping and flow control capabilities, including automated components for internet allocation and provision.
After installing the product on any gateway or server, access is gained to all internet streams being used by the network. Each stream can be controlled using a combination of prioritization, guaranteed service levels and speed limiting. The classification system will allow full control over all types of data such as games, video, VoIP, web and e-mail.
The product consists of a core processor within the IP stack that performs low level bandwidth services like traffic monitoring and speed limiting. Incoming network packets are inspected and queued based on class. The data is later processed
by user-defined and automated systems before being returned to the operating system for normal processing.
For larger networks, a single point of installation gives adminstrators centralized management and control of network resource allocation, providing greater flexibility and security over client-side solutions.

Ozzie Would Have Caught that Sausage
This season has been rough on quite a few teams already. However, that played itself out in a rather amusing fashion (for me at least) for two different teams in the last couple days.
We begin (as we often do when it comes to failure) in our nation's capitol where the former Montreal Expos put on an exposition all their own the other evening. I could explain the premise of the story but I think this one quote just about sums it up: "…if there's one thing we all can agree upon, it's that exploding hot dog buns are high comedy indeed." How can you top that? Well, maybe by spelling the name of your own team incorrectly on your jersey. But seriously guys, please keep it coming.
However, the farcical comedy stylings of the Washington Nationals pale in comparison to the tragi-comedy of the Chicago White Sox. Sure, they play in a mediocre division so they're never really going to be out of it but they took a beating and a half yesterday afternoon. It all started when the Twins plated 20 runs to the Sox' one and just when you thought it couldn't get worse, the always eloquent Ozzie Guillen's managed to jinx the impending Jake Peavy trade. Let me refresh your memory. Following the loss Guillen said, "I hope Peavy didn't watch the scoreboard today. He might say no."
Well Ozzie, you sure nailed that one. Maybe Peavy watched the scoreboard and maybe he didn't but either way, he won't be suiting up in Chicago pinstripes anytime soon.
So that's where we stand as May slowly draws to a close. But don't worry, the Nationals are still out there and it's only a matter of time before they manage to outdo themseleves once again. My guess? Teddy Roosevelt gets decapitated in the President's Race on Kid's Day at the ballpark. Once again ladies and gentlemen, your 2009 Washington Nationals!

Good job by Ozzie and the jinx. LOL. But that deal had "never mind" written all over it. More to the point, why does the new ownership of the Padres want to trade their best pitcher? Are they conceding the season already?
Ah, yes, slaughtering the White Sox and killing their chances of landing Jake Peavy in the process. Yesterday was indeed a very good day to be a Twins fan. Unlike every other day, when they strand a billion runners in scoring position and blow leads in the later innings.
I didn't expect Peavy to come to the South Side anyways. When Linebrink said it was 50/50, that was basically a no. Peavy doesn't want to come come the AL. He said so during all the trade talks over the winter with the Cubs. Personally, I feel the Sox would have had to give up a lot to get Peavy, and the team isn't guaranteed that Peavy would even pitch well in Comiskey besides being a silder/sinker ball pitcher. Peavy wouldn't have been the savior for the dismal issues that are plaguing the Sox. We need more clutch hitting, better defense, and for the starts we do have record more quality starts. http://bradcws.mlblogs.com
It seems like the Peavy story was filler on a slow news day. I don't think anyone expected it to happen.
That would be awesome if Teddy lost his head! Someone better video tape it :O) Ha!

I've been doing BLS with my 6 month old for about a week now. We're super pumped- I found sweet potato in her diaper after the first night!
But, I'm a little confused. I've read in books (including LLL stuff) to avoid "wheat products" for awhile, but then I see in the same literature to let them go for "wheat breads, cereals." So, what's the difference? What am I supposed to avoid? I've given her some Cherrios, and while she gets some in her mouth, she hasn't swallowed yet.
Also, I'm excited about the idea of hummus, but I wondering if store bought or from a restaurant hummus is ok. Does it have too many additives (salt, oil, etc.)?

Tomorrow, representatives from a premier company in Spain that produces the country's prized pata negra—also known as jamon Iberica or Iberian ham—will demonstrate how to slice and serve the delicacy during a 4-5 p.m. tasting at Blue Provence, 300 S. County Road.
The company, 5J (Cinco Jotas), which has been producing pata negra in southwest Spain's Jabugo since 1879, is among the elite brands of Iberian ham. 5J is often considered to be synonymous with the best ham in the world.
The company's pigs are fed on a diet of acorns and aromatic herbs. That, combined with the exercise the free-range pigs get [More]

Prairie Walk September 11
September 4, 2013
As the state celebrates and honors Iowa Prairie Heritage Week, Dordt College will host the fourth Prairie Walk of the year on Wednesday, September 11, at 7 p.m. The walk begins at the north end of the prairie at the Dordt College Soccer Field.
The lush prairie environment supports a variety of insects, and Dordt professors will be available to help identify species. Visitors are invited to bring an insect net with them if they have one.
A final Prairie Walk will be held in October so visitors can see how the habitat changes throughout the summer and autumn.
Contact Dordt College Environmental Studies Professor Dr. Robb De Haan at 722-6220 with any questions. Everyone is welcome to come and explore the prairie, and handouts with color photos showcasing the prairie plants and wildlife will be given to all who attend. No RSVP is needed.

Police: Scammers getting more creative
PARKERSBURG – While the way people make donations has taken a change, scammers have also began to target people with a more creative approach.
Sgt. Greg Collins with the Parkersburg Police Department said police were aware of a scam using Williamstown Bank as the focus. He said the numbers appear to come back to those commonly used in widespread scams.
"It appears that the perpetrators are not in this area as is the case with most scams, but we continue to look into the matter," he said.
Collins said people should call their bank to speak with someone directly if a scamming incident occurs. Police advise residents to never provide information to people over the phone or by email.
The scam coming from Williamstown Bank was detected last weekend. Area residents sent out a message via a Facebook post to inform others of the incident. The Facebook post read that people were receiving text messages stating their account had been deactivated. The text message gave a random four digit card number and most calls are saying it is coming from Williamstown Bank. When calling the number, they would give people a different number than the text came from, all it would say was "Please enter your 16-digit card number."
Falling for the scam would have ended with the draining of a bank account.
Similar scams were also taking place in Wirt County.
An intended victim from Coolville on May 4 thwarted her would-be scammer.
"I may be old, but I'm not stupid," she said.
A man who identified himself as David Alexander said she had won the Publishers Clearinghouse and gave her instructions on how to claim the prize, which included obtaining a $500 gift card from Wal-Mart and waiting for a phone call. The man never left a phone number and the caller ID said it was an unknown number.
However, the 74-year-old woman contacted Publishers Clearinghouse and the sheriff's department. Publishers Clearinghouse said it doesn't operate that way and the sheriff's department said it was a scam, she said.
The woman took her phone off the hook and when she put it back on, the man called.
"It wasn't five minutes later that he called me saying he had been trying all day to get a hold of me," she said.
The woman informed him that she contacted the authorities and Publishers Clearinghouse.
"He said why did I want to go ahead and do that," the woman said.
Kim Couch, CCMC Foundation director, said the foundation has been lucky enough not to come in contact with scams. However, Couch said the way people in the community have been giving has changed since the hospital started the foundation.
"It's not just one person to write a check (anymore)," she said. "It will continue to change how people are giving."
Couch said with opportunities including the "Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo" donators have had many different ways to decide how to give back. If cancer is something they are passionate about, they can give in that area, she said, and if diabetes is of interest donators can give to that unit of the hospital.
The foundation and contributors have also made a large shift in pushing for the prevention of disease. Couch said one in every four children growing up in the state now will develop diabetes, according to statistics.
"Twenty-five years ago when the foundation was started they knew there'd be changes in health care," Couch said. "I don't think they ever imagined technology would change so fast."
According to Giving USA, 65 percent of households give to charities. The average household contribution is around $2,000.
Two women have reportedly been in the Washington Bottom area falsely collecting donations for Wood County Habitat for Humanity, said Lisa Collins, a spokesman for the organization that builds homes for qualifying families.
Collins said she first learned of the scam on Friday while speaking with a friend who said her husband errantly gave a woman a donation for Habitat. The incident occurred last Monday.
That is not how Habitat fundraises, she said.
"We do not send anyone door-to-door ever," she said.
Police said the best advice for someone wanting to donate to a charity is to do so directly. If someone comes knocking on the door asking for money, get their information, ask them to leave and call the organization later.
People collecting money at the door, if legitimate, will not care if someone can verify the information, police said.
"If you can make one follow-up phone call before doing anything, you will prevent yourself from becoming a victim," Sgt. Collins said.

Opening salvos
Meanwhile over at S.S Seward, the Spartan Invitational Tournament was revealing some great basketball as James I. O'Neill profited on missed late free throws by the then-winning Spartans to ice a dramatic 55-54 win in the first semifinal. Millbrook thrashed Liberty 58-31 in the other semifinal. That set up a consolation game tilt between Seward and Liberty, which the Spartans won by the score of 55-39, paced by Kevin Smith's 19 and Anthony Bailey's 18 points. Class C Millbrook won the championship game as it defeated Class B O'Neill.
Liberty's 0-2 start to the season was not what first-year coach Mike Salvia had hoped for but an upcoming two-week hiatus before the Indians play Port Jervis will give the team time to resolve issues with its zone offense and rebounding. Eddie Byrd was named to the All-Tournament team. He scored 19 against Millbrook and 14 against Seward. Liberty's girls (1-1) defeated S.S. Seward 28-23 in the opening round but lost to Goshen in the title game. Hardwood action resumes on December 9 and 10 as Monticello looks to defend its two-year run as champions of the Hawley Tip Off Tournament at Wallenpaupack. They'll have to do it without the seniors who carried last year's team all the way to the Section 9 Class A semifinals where they lost a heartbreaker to Cornwall. The Tri-Valley boys will host Deposit for their season opener on December 10 while Sullivan West's boys (1-2) and girls (0-1), Fallsburg's boys (2-1) and girls (1-2), along with Eldred girls (1-0) test their mettle in the final games of the Chester tourney. Indoor track will get underway with a relay meet at West Point on December 9. The season's first developmental meet will be held at Sullivan County Community College on December 12.

Accelerating the Pace of Enhanced Crop Development
BASF Plant Science refreshes R&D computing resources with Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family and Intel Xeon processor E7 family, resulting in a faster and more flexible infrastructure.
BASF Plant Science—a BASF group company—is one of the world's leading providers of innovative plant biotechnology solutions for agriculture. It has developed an unparalleled gene discovery platform focusing on yield and quality traits in crops such as corn, soybean, and rice. The global plant biotechnology market segment is highly competitive, and BASF Plant Science relies on the output of its research and development (R&D) to ensure its offering remains up-to-date. With this in mind, it recently updated the computing resources available to its researchers with the Intel Xeon processor E5 and Intel Xeon processor E7 family, running on Cisco Unified Computing System* (Cisco UCS*) blade servers. Internal benchmarking tests supported by Intel comparing the time it took different processor configurations to complete basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) commands, indicated that the new processing hardware could perform these processes 1.6 times faster than the previous infrastructure. The new hardware also supports a wider range of applications, helping BASF Plant Science accelerate its research efforts and will eventually reduce time-to-market for new products.

text: Thats gonna be a battle tomorrow night between cotto and mosley.....Its got fight of the year potential written all over it. Damn you got a whole pregame show. The Knicks can and should win this game. I believe Orlando is a good team but I think the Knicks are better....or at least they should be better. Not every team plays up to there full potential, as a matter of fact most teams dont. Anyways, I think it will be a close game but the Knicks will win. I agree that defending the perimeter is the key to victory. Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis are both capable of puttin up big numbers.
