Hey everyone, the Entrepreneurship program is here to report on a great experience that happened recently. On, January 19th we had the honor of accompanying Cogswell's Entrepreneur professor Bret Sweet as he took L.A. local rapper Nick Carter A.K.A. MURS throughout the halls of our college to meet our students and professors. MURS has been in the rapping/hip-hop business ever since he was 14 and since then has been a part of more than 20 albums, created many singles and EP's, and even has his music played in various video games that have been released in the last 5 years. He started out as an independent artist going to rap battles routinely, which gained him the title of "The guy you don't beat…you hope he doesn't beat you." He even has run the annual Paid Dues Festival for independent hip hop and rap artists since 2006. He has dabbled in other musical media such as a punk band out of Jacksonville, Florida named Whole Wheat Bread.
While here, MURS was looking for well versed animators for a future project and when Bret informed him about our school being one of the top digital arts schools in the country, he couldn't resist. As we walked around the campus, Bret explained that this school had all the things that he and MURS wished for in their youth such as a safe environment to learn about the digital entertainment medium and where students don't have to hide who they are. MURS lit up with joy with every corner that we passed where artwork from students, both past and present, decorated the walls. He even said at one point that he was a bit of a nerd himself, being into many different comic book series, cartoons, movies and dabbling in the digital medium for his own projects.
MURS was lucky enough to catch Project X Director Michael Huber and discuss their professions and share some stories about their struggles in their media. MURS had watched Project X's first film, The Offering, and fell in love with what our students could do and had nothing but praise for Michael. MURS also got to meet with our comic book expert, Dave Perry. They became friends quickly just throwing out topics on comic books, having a great back and forth, MURS letting Dave know about his own comic book that he wanted to make into an animated film. Both Michael and Dave were very impressed with the ideas that MURS had expressed, which prompted everyone to exchange contact information for future projects.
It turns out that even our students were huge fans of MURS and anticipated his arrival. Needless to say, our students are unique so the talks that went down with MURS definitely made him laugh. It was definitely not as crazy as some of his performances where he has fans cheering for him and his lyrics, but the excitement was still present. MURS really loved that he was well known around the school but was still humble whenever Bret tried to speak of his great work within the music industry. It did surprise a few fans around campus that he was a very relaxed and approachable person since he puts so much passion into his music. One of our most excited students was Dashiell who had been told MURS was going to be visiting days before and was eager to meet him. When MURS came around, Dashiell was almost speechless but still shook his hand and started talking about the different things he's done while here at Cogswell. It was quite the experience for the both of them since MURS had expressed much love for what we do here at the college and hearing a student speak so passionately about it made him smile.
MURS really seemed to enjoy his time here at Cogswell as much as we were to have him be here. Bret and MURS even found time to catch up being friends from the past and all. We enjoyed MURS's company and hope he comes back soon to visit and possibly join us in future projects. We wish Nick a safe trip back to L.A. and success in his future endeavors!

Hewlett-Packard may have plans to offset personal computer unit (PSG), but the plans generally contains caveats. The company should rethink itself, redevelop its strategy and redesign itself, thinks a ex-high ranking HP employee Rahul Sood, who now works at Microsoft.
The decision to spin-off personal systems group (PSG) is strange for many reasons. But the main one is: what happens to HP - as a brand and as a company - when its personal computers vanish into oblivion? Will HP be able to be as competitive without PC unit (which size and footprint greatly helps to HP's economic strengths)?
"My guess is [Leo Apotheker] sees challenges internally in PSG, he doesn't fully understand how the hardware business operates, and he feels that hardware margins are far too slim to bother with. In my opinion hardware is the footprint that makes HP who they are. HP's gigantic PC footprint is easily their biggest strength, not their software and services. If HP could leverage their biggest strength in a meaningful way they'd be almost unstoppable," said Mr. Sood in aninterview with X-bit labs.
At present the management of HP is trying to get rid of the personal solutions group, which sell PCs to end users.

Greening Recap
Jam Cruise 12 offed us another opportunity to define model of a cruise ship effectively lowering its environmental impact though simple and achievable goals. Though this 11-year experiment we've improved on-ship waste management operations, partnered with progressive hauling companies in South Florida, aligned with compost facilities, sourcing sustainable products, and have brought renewable energy to our Ship. In addition, we challenge our passengers to become more Conscious Cruisers. Each year we introduce new and improved ways of Greening Jam Cruise, more to come throughout the year on the latest innovative programs.
Greening Jam Cruise would like to thank the sponsors of our program. Magic Hat for its major support in supplying the ship with compostable cups that are an innovation that can help the cruise industry. And of course, we thank Magic Hat for its support of the Solar Stage. Thank you Badger for making sun screen and lip balm that are environmentally safe and good for your skin and offering some to our Conscious Cruisers. Thank you Pure Logic for providing the technical support and the technologies for our renewable energy program. We invite anyone that has questions, comments or new ideas to contact us at email@example.com
The Magic Hat Solar Stage
OH what a beautiful think it is! The Caribbean sun shining down, lighting up our hearts and literally running lights and pumping the tunes from the Magic Hat Solar Stage. And we can grow it! There's lots of room on our Ship to mount solar panels, so look for our stage to continue to expand and increase this demonstration of using renewable energy to power to offset the diesel generators. Let the sunshine in!
Waste Management
What happens when you combine innovative sorting stations and educated passengers? You improve the waste diversion of your Cruise. Our waste management greening strategy elevates the conventional ship system by sending pre-sorted material to the ships waste and recycling room. This assists MSC staff in the final sort insuring clean waste streams are delivered to the Waste Management Broward County recycling facility.
Conscious Cruiser Program – Take the pledge, take a stance
Choose my Ship Wisely
Not all ships are equal. Are there technologies aboard that help mitigate environmental impact? I will familiarize myself with the technologies that make the Divina more environmentally friendly.
Selflessly Serve
Volunteer for Greening and Positive Legacy. Change happens at the grassroots and is for the people by the people. Volunteer on Jam Cruise 13 by contacting us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Leave a Positive Legacy
Seek, support and respect local cultural and custom. I won't get sucked into tourist traps and other business that see little profit to the local people.
Consciously Consume
Give attention to what I bought and brought aboard the ship. My products do not harm the ocean environment such as coral reefs, which some sun blocks do. I'm aware of single use items. I reuse my compostable cups and will hang up my towel and use it tomorrow.
Leave No Trace
Put waste in its place and understand what to recycle, compost and trash. I walk lightly when exploring the islands keeping in mind beach grasses and the delicate plants were there first.
"I should express first my being impressed by the initiatives already undertaken and accomplished on Jam Cruise. It is impressive to see the success Greening Jam Cruise have had in impacting the practice of the cruise line (especially as regards reducing/eliminating use of plastic and styrofoam, a focus on recycling, and demonstration of use of renewable energy). I believe you have established a role model for others wishing to "green" cruise ships they charter for events or activities."

Popularized by action stars such as Jean-Claude van Damme, the cut is neat, almost severe, yet still has a bit of room for movement and body on top. Sides and back are buzzed to a quarter-inch length, but all over the top, wavy hair is left significantly longer. This doesn't mean, however, that curls are allowed to rampage. Locks are smoothed down and styled with a wet-look, medium-hold product, for that fresh, just-out-of-the-shower look.

Trend Alert: Indigo
New York's Hudson River Valley may not have the swank of the Hamptons, but it's got no dearth of rich, colorful residents, history, and properties. True, certain stretches feature derelict factories and hills smothered in flimsy condos, but the banks of the river have been considered prime real estate ever since Henry Hudson maneuvered his ship, Half Moon, up the scenic estuary in 1609. The mega mansions of the Hamptons are nouveau bling compared with the stately, centuries-old homes along the Hudson.
On a terrace off the living room, a Brown Jordan chaise has a cushion covered in a Sunbrella fabric, and a garden stool is from Treillage; the façade is painted in a custom color by Benjamin Moore.
Bill Burback and Peter Hofmann own such a house, a 1793 Federal manse perched on two and a half acres of pretty, gently sloping land in the hamlet of Garrison, directly across the river from the United States Military Academy. In the 1800s, the handsome two-story, gray-green building was a commercial ferry house and landing; several decades later, it morphed into the headquarters of a coal and fuel business.

Why Millennials Are Looking to Buy More Than Simply Stocks
By Hal M. Bundrick
NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- Wealthy younger investors are much less enamored of the stock market than their elder peers and are looking for increasing portfolio allocations to alternative and private equity investments.
In a survey of accredited investors aged 18 and older, representing households with over $1 million in investable assets, excluding the value of a primary residence, or individual annual income exceeding $200,000, nearly half (49%) of young investors 18-29 are currently invested in private company securities (private placements and angel investments) compared with just 21% of 45-60 year olds.
These affluent young investors allocate an average of only 30% to equities, while Baby Boomers put nearly half (48%) of their investments in stocks. The research was conducted by iCrowd, the small business and investor social network, who says the results suggest that the "Facebook generation" may be more receptive to less traditional investments.
"When it comes to investing, the Facebook generation takes a less traditional, and much more open approach than their parents did," said Brad McGee, co-founder of iCrowd. "Young accredited investors are seeking diversified opportunities outside of traditional equities in order to protect and grow their nest eggs."
Even though wealthy Millennials allocate less to typical stock market investments, they still trust Wall Street. Nearly one-quarter (22%) of 18-29 year olds believe traditional investment firms act in their best interest, compared to only 10% of 45-60 year olds and 12% of 60+ accredited investors.
Nearly a quarter of wealthy young investors give top priority to investing in a business that supports their local community, compared to 11% of total respondents. Fully 44% of Millennials are aware that some online securities brokers allow investors to view opportunities in private company investments, as opposed to 38% of Baby Boomers. And 37% of young investors would consider buying shares in private companies and startups through an online securities broker.

The East Departures during Over-Ocean or Westerly Operations Report is a monthly summary of LAX aircraft operations that depart to the east while the airport is still conducting westerly departures between midnight and 6:30 a.m. This means that some aircraft request to depart over residences when most aircraft are still departing over the ocean. When asked why these departures were occurring, the primary response from the airlines was that the tail wind was too great for the weight of the aircraft.
On those nights when the land cools faster than the ocean, a slight offshore wind occurs blowing from east to west. For aircraft departing to the west this wind is called a tail wind as it comes from behind the aircraft as they are departing. This condition is a safety factor for the departing aircraft and it is left up to the pilot to determine whether the tail wind component is too great for that type of aircraft and its weight to depart safely over the ocean. These sporadic east departures usually occur because the pilots determine it is not safe and request to depart into the wind that is blowing from the east.
The noise from these operations impact a great deal of residents to the east and south of LAX. Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) is currently in the process of conducting a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 161 Study to obtain FAA approval to restrict these departures to the east between midnight and 6:30 a.m. when LAX is still conducting westerly departures. To check the current status of the LAX Part 161 Study please visit the study's webpage by clicking on this link: http://www.lawa.org/LAXPart161.aspx
LAWA will produce the monthly reports, posted on this page, to document these operations that have a tremendous affect on numerous communities.

The Celebrity Stylist-Approved Guide To Decorating Your Vanity
Years before Meg Ryan shared her Martha's Vineyard home with ELLE DECOR, the actress lived in a stunning San Francisco home with then-husband Dennis Quaid. While both actors have moved on, the home they shared remains, a stunning Queen Anne-style house in the city's Pacific Heights neighborhood. Not only does it boast their lingering star power, it's one of the most light-filled homes we've seen, thanks to an almost outrageous amount of windows. Come take a look at the home—now for sale for $8.9 million. (But don't worry. It's free to look.)
h/t to PopSugar Home
The dining area opens right onto a stunning terrace, thanks to floor-to-ceiling glass doors. (Notice there are even more adjacent to the seating area in the background.)

If a picture is worth a thousand words… Why not always make sure you leave your beautiful face on every blog comment you make?
Leaving comments on other people's blogs is a great way to get more industry wide exposure and to become more 'recognizable' in the community. You can also drive quite a bit of traffic back to your site if you leave intelligent and thoughtful comments on highly trafficked blogs…
But if you don't include your picture next to your comment, you probably won't be recognized very much at all. If you want to make the MOST out of your blog comments and become more well-known in the blog communities, you've gotta include your picture. It'll help people identify you more easily and recognize you throughout the different blog sites you visit.
It's very simple and easy to do… Just click 'Play' on the video below and I'll walk you through the process:
So, right now… Head over to http://www.gravatar.com and sign up for a free account. Once you do, leave me a comment down below and let me know what a difference it made! I'd love to see as many bright shining faces in the comment box as possible!
If you already have a gravatar, I'd still love to hear from you! Do you want to see more training tutorials like this? What kinds of things would you like to learn more about?
And please make sure you share this with your friends on Twitter, Facebook, and other social communities! Use the Twitter icon down below to 'tweet' this training out to your followers! They'll definitely appreciate it! Thanks a bunch…

Norway council approves five year recreation plan
By LISA M. REED
Staff Writer
NORWAY – Norway City Council on Monday updated its five-year parks and recreation plan.
City Manager Ray Anderson said an updated or current five-year parks plan is required to apply and be eligible for grant funding from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
The capital improvement schedule for 2013-18 proposes a variety of improvements to enhance Marion Park, Hanbury Lake Park, Norway Myr Wetland Park, Strawberry Lake Park, the soccer field, 3rd Ward Park, the trail system, the sledding hill and continue the city's urban forestry program.
The new plan also has updated United States Census information.
No one commented at a public hearing, which was held prior to the approval of the plan.
To view the plan, contact City Hall.
In other action, council:
– Increased the green fees by $1 from last year's rates for the condition level 2 rate for nine holes at Oak Crest Golf Course. All other rates are the same. Council also gave the city manager the authority to make minor changes or additions to the schedule as needed throughout the golfing season.
– Approved the purchase and installation of a flatscreen computer at the hydroelectric from RGB Consulting Services LLC of Schofield, Wis. for a price not exceed $2,775.
Lisa M. Reed's e-mail address is email@example.com.

Prosecutors Claim Stark Executed Husband
SPOKANE - Shellye Stark, the Spokane woman charged with 1st Degree Murder for killing her husband Dale got underway with opening arguments Wednesday with opening arguments.
Prosecutors say Shellye Stark pre-planned and then shot her husband Dale to death in 2007. While prosecutors presented their case to the jury Wednesday afternoon the defense team deferred, choosing to wait to present their case.
Deputy Prosecutor Larry Haskell told the jury Stark flew to Spokane and executed her husband.
"Ladies and gentlemen Dale Robert Stark is dead and he shouldn't be," Haskell told the jury Wednesday.
Haskell Stark as a cold-blooded killer who shot her estranged husband Dale three times in the back to cash in on his house, car and $400,000 life insurance policy.
"She killed him with premeditation in a pre-planned, pre-arraigned scheme to ambush him and execute him in his own home," Haskell said.
Stark's defense team is expected to argue she was a battered woman and Dale had abused her for years, even forcing her into prostitution to pay his gambling debts.
Her attorneys say she was afraid for her life and was defending herself when she shot and killed Dale Stark in his kitchen
"Shellye Stark left California, she came to Spokane, she armed herself, she fixed [the] crime scene and she waited and drew him in, kicked out the witnesses and executed Dale Robert Stark," Haskell said.
Prosecutors are expected to call Dale Stark's mother and crime scene experts to the witness stand Thursday. Stark's trial is expected to last approximately two weeks.

Kristen new bit at 1:47 and Rob at 2:00 - Cute Rob gets interrupted while talking about Kristen :)
Sweet Rob is always looking over his shoulder to check Kristen. SIGHsReplyDelete
I love it.rob and kristen has the best bodygaruds.ReplyDelete
So incredible sweet:). I'm so happy for rk, hope they have a relaxing time together right now. By the way just saw a pic with rob and kristens dad together at the premiere, cute!!! How can thoose small things make me so happy? Smiling all the way to the grocery shop, something is very very wrong with meReplyDelete
Think the video was much about their relationship, wish i could understand german;)ReplyDelete
Rob is so cute ..he always praises Kristen...I wish the video was translated from German to English...ReplyDelete
Ruth bumped into him and hes the one apologizing haha cute. btw I ship HBG and Ruth.. though I think hes married lolReplyDelete
Yeah it was about their relationship. The report was trying to figure out if they are back together, so they were looking for some hints:
It was said that although they both were trying not to reveal something private there were some indications:
1. They arrived TOGETHER at the airport and drove TOGETHER to their hotel
But Taylor was seated between them at the PC, personal questions were strictly forbidden
Both became sentimental because of the end of Twilight: Rob said that it is weird because he spent almost his entire 20s making these movies, Kristen mentioned that this is her last Twilight press junket interview ever and that they all shared something special that will last forever. But there seems to be a special bond between Rob and Kristen, it was said.
Some talk about the movie, Edward and Bella having a kid. So there some speculations about R/K having children. Rob said yes definitely and that he needs a hair.
Some talk about the sexy dresses Kristen wore at the recent premieres. She was asked if she wore them to seduce Rob and she answered that she was doing it for herself. (that's how it was translated, but I'm not sure if she was really asked this question because her actual answer was different, something like "Yeah I am")
2. Rob seemed impressed anyway, it was said, considering the way he looked at her and he seemed to have an effect on Kristen as well, because she caressed his back again and again.
3. Rob was having a rave about/praised Kristen: She is not only a great actress, she is a great person too. (That's how he was translated but he wasn't actually saying this, he "just" praised Kristen as an actress).But then he was interrupted by Ruth so he said he couldn't talk about Kristen anymore, because it would be embarassing.
4.They left the premiere TOGETHER
5.They were having a dinner at the famous restaurant "Borchardts" TOGETHER
6.They went bowling TOGETHER
7.They left the bowling center TOGETHER at 3am and drove TOGETHER back to their hotel.
So surprise, surprise they came to the conclusion: "It seems that the Twilight dream couple isn't just celebrating a happy end in cinema"
I really like this little report, although "their statements" weren't really authentic because of the imaginative German translation. But it was a really nice and sweet and cute sum up of their time here in Berlin.

Intel Corporation announced new software tools to help developers design, analyze and optimize applications running on Intel-based platforms supporting Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology. Besides, the availability of tools is likely to catalyse software developers to utilize AMD64 and EM64T capabilities more thoroughly in future, transiting the x86 industry to 64-bit computing.
Intel software products with support for Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology, which allows computing platforms to access larger amounts of memory, include the Intel Compilers, Intel Integrated Performance Primitives, Intel VTune Performance Analyzers and Intel Math Kernel Library. These tools support Windows and Linux operating systems, and can be used with Intel Xeon and Intel Pentium 4 processor-based servers and workstations.
The tools can also be used for future Intel-based PCs that support Intel EM64T. Intel plans to introduce this 64-bit technology in its desktop processor line when commensurate operating system support is available.
"Developers understand that turning 32-bit code into 64-bit code is not easy, regardless of whether an Intel platform or a competitive component is being used. Intel offers software developers the expertise and tools for Intel EM64T to make the job easier and application performance remarkably better," said Jonathan Khazam, general manager of Intel's Software Products Division.
In addition to its advanced software tools, Intel offers its customers the latest technical expertise in 64-bit capabilities through Intel Solution Services, Intel's worldwide professional services organization. Intel Solution Services consultants can work side-by-side with developers to help them better understand and enhance the performance and scalability of their software applications, while taking advantage of the latest features available on Intel platforms
The announced tools are either available now, or will be available later this year.

You may remember our item late last month on Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan and his brother hosting a TV series in Milwaukee on evangelization. Here's an update, courtesy of the Catholic Herald in Milwaukee, which reports that in a discussion about Christmases growing up in the Dolan household, the archbishop asks little brother Bob if he remembers a certain bowling set that Bob took even though it wasn't intended for him.

Today, with all the new advances in technology, anyone can be a spy, or can be spied on, all without anyone even noticing. There are tiny cameras and microphones that can be worn on your body, that even if someone knew that you were recording them, they wouldn't have a clue of what you're using to do it. CBS News Correspondent Daniel Sieberg of "The Early Show" tested this body worn spy technology, covertly hiding a camcorder watch, tie, and DVR pen on himself and daring the anchor to locate the devices.
Sieberg also described how people can protect themselves when they're not at home. Some of these options include covert hidden cameras that can double as home surveillance systems. Among those are the Tissue Box Wireless Camera and Clock Camera Hidden Camera. These two devices look like standard fixtures on a night table or bedroom but are actually wireless. And you don't have to go back to the original camera to gather the footage. There are options available that let you view all footage online from any computer with Internet for added peace of mind no matter where you are in the world.
Aside from the cameras that can do the spying, are the camera finders to help you locate the hidden cameras that could be watching you. For example, the Hidden Camera Detector automatically finds any cameras that are around you, and even catches the signal that the camera might be sending out. Lastly, Sieberg mentioned GPS tracking to unleash you inner security agent. As an ongoing series to monitor the spies that could be spying on your, CBS offers Early Show viewers the ultimate in both surveillance counter surveillance options.

Children's Hospital Colorado Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders (CCBD) Clinical Program occupies the entire 7th floor of the 294-bed Children's Hospital Colorado. Facilities include a dedicated 24-bed inpatient unit with adjacent outpatient clinic and infusion center. There are approximately 1,063 CCBD inpatient hospital admissions per year and 18,234 outpatient visits. The CCBD includes approximately 30 MD faculty members and is divided into several distinct programs.
The Pediatric Oncology Program provides care to children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer. We have dedicated subspecialty Pediatric Neuro-Oncology (brain tumor) and Orthopedic Oncology (bone tumor) Programs. The CCBD Experimental Therapeutics Program was established to promote the development and clinical testing of promising new therapies for the treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer that have not responded well to available treatments or inadequate curative options. We also have an emphasis on survivorship that includes the H.O.P.E. (Helping Oncology Patients Excel) long-term follow-up clinic and TACTIC (Thriving After Cancer Treatment is Complete) clinic for adult cancer survivors.
The Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) Program at Children's Hospital Colorado was established in 1993. Since that time, the Program has performed over 600 transplants and their efforts have helped to shape the growing role of BMT in treating a variety of serious pediatric disorders. Diseases in which BMT can be used to provide curative treatment range from pediatric cancers to nonmalignant diseases of blood production such as aplastic anemia, thalessemia and sickle cell anemia to inherited defects of the immune system as well as to certain genetic disorders of metabolism such as Hurler's syndrome. The Program carries out transplants of hematopoietic (blood forming) stem cells from both autologous (self) and allogeneic (donated; related or unrelated) sources. Technologies in place utilize blood forming stem cells derived from marrow, peripheral blood and cord blood. A selection of innovative clinical trials aimed at improving transplant outcomes and expanding diseases that may be helped with BMT are available to patients who wish to participate.
The Pediatric Hematology Program is responsible for the care of patients with primary noncancerous blood disorders, including hemophilia, coagulation disorders that produce excess bleeding or clotting, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, and a variety of other hematologic disorders. Major clinical components include the regional Hemophilia Center and state-funded Sickle Cell Anemia Center. The Immuno-Hematology Clinic focuses on disorders of white blood cell function and how the immune system influences blood cell number and function.
Our faculty and staff are also involved with many support programs, including the HOPE Survivorship Program (Helping Oncology Patients Excel), YAPS (Youth and Pet Survivors Program), Teen and Young Adults support program, Sickle Cell Camp, Hemophilia Camp, Butterfly Program, Wilderness Program and Robbie's Friends. These programs provide the Hematology, Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplantation patients and their families with support through camping program events and peer interaction. The faculty and staff involvement ranges from an advisory role to staffing of the various camps.

Meringues Chantilly with Roasted Berries
- 4 extra - large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Roasted Berries, recipe follows
- Roasted Berries:
- 1 pint fresh strawberries
- 2 half-pints fresh raspberries
- 2 half-pints fresh blueberries
- 2 half-pints fresh blackberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Vanilla bean, split and seeds removed
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a small glass and a pencil, draw 4 (3 1/2-inch) circles on each piece of paper. Turn the paper face down on the baking sheets.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt on high speed until frothy. Add 2/3 cup of the sugar and continue beating on high speed until the egg whites form very stiff peaks. Whisk in the vanilla. Carefully fold the remaining 1/3 cup sugar into the meringue. With a large star - shaped pastry tip, pipe a disk of meringue inside each circle. Pipe another layer around the edge to form the sides of the shells.
Bake for 2 hours, or until the meringues are dry and crisp but not browned. Turn off the heat and allow the meringues to sit in the oven for 4 hours or overnight.
For serving, place each meringue on a separate plate and top the shell with berries.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Place the strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries on a sheet pan and toss with the sugar and vanilla bean seeds. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature before serving.

What is your objective? Specifically, what is there about your current recipe/method that you are hoping to improve by using Caputo 00?It has been milled and blended for high-temp applications, but that doesn't preclude it's use for other things. In general, it will take longer to brown than other flours @ 500F, so browning agents such as sugars are often added to the dough.
.....hmmm, I must be odd man out. Chau
Chau, he is baking in the unmodified home oven. Not at LBE temps. He will succeed with AP and BF before the 00 in this situation.
Here are some close up shots of the crumb. Someone please tell me that looks dry or chewy.Last picture is the pie made with the same old dough and baked at high temps. Looks nice but it wasn't as good texturally. It was tougher...yes it was. Presumably b/c not enough of the moisture was baked out. Also likely due to the weaker gluten matrix from the long fermentation. Weaker doughs relatively speaking will usually yield a doughier product, while a stronger gluten matrix will give a more aerated and lighter crumb.
Chau, I've talked to John Conklin about this in the past. Basically if you take 00 dough and extend the fermentation clock, you 'New Yorkify' it- more residual sugar, better browning, greater protein breakdown, softer crumb. With your increased water activity (higher hydration + elevation), your 35 hour dough is showing a lot of signs of advanced enzyme activity.I'm not saying it's bad- it looks amazing, but it's not the usual 00 error of a traditional Neapolitan 00 dough baked for 3 minutes.Don't get me wrong, you've pretty much won 5 months, ago, my blanket statement was "00 flour doughs are guaranteed to be tough with anything longer than a 2 minute bake." After our talks and your experimentation, I decided to fall back to "00 flour doughs are guaranteed to be tough with a 3 minute bake," and now, after seeing this, I'm retreating to "Traditionally fermented 00 flour Neapolitan doughs are guaranteed to be tough with 3 minute bakes."I'm kind of hanging on by a thread here, but I won't give up without a fight
About Caputo 00 flour.I would never *recommend* 00 flour for baking at anything lower than about 800 - 900 degrees. The reasons are primarily two. One, the flour is expensive.
About Caputo 00 flour.I would never *recommend* 00 flour for baking at anything lower than about 800 - 900 degrees. The reasons are primarily two. Two, 00 flour does tend to yield a little bit tougher crumb at lower temperatures than your routine American flour. The crumb can still be plenty tender enough as you've detailed in previous posts. But I can outperform 00 flour using KAAP or a mixture of KAAP/KABF and 00 flour at lower temperatures.

SafeConnect FAQs
What are the benefits of the SafeConnect Policy Key?
The SafeConnect Policy Key is part of the University's effort to help you keep
your computers as free as possible from viruses, spyware, and operating system
security holes. Machines protected in this way generally perform much better
and require much less downtime due to damage caused by malicious software.
Also, the SafeConnect Policy Key can help to ensure that the average user has the fastest possible browsing experience while connected to the School's network.
Do I have to use the SafeConnect Policy Key?
Yes. All Microsoft Windows and Mac computers are required to use the SafeConnect Policy Key to ensure a safe computing environment for all and it is required for network access
What happens if I uninstall the SafeConnect Policy Key?
You can uninstall the SafeConnect Policy Key at any time; however within minutes you will then be unable to access the Internet. You will be required to reinstall the Policy Key as if you are a new user to gain Internet access.
How do I know the SafeConnect Policy Key is running?
On Windows machines, you can right-click any blank space on the task bar at the bottom of your screen and select the option "Task Manager". When the Windows Task Manager appears, click the "Processes" tab and look for the process "SCClient.exe". Mac OS users can open the Activity Monitor located in the Utilities folder. From the Activity Monitor look for the process Policy Key
Is the SafeConnect Policy Key compatible with my system?
Yes. The SafeConnect Policy Key is compatible with and required for both Windows and Macintosh computers.
What does the SafeConnect Policy Key actually do?
The SafeConnect Policy Key continuously validates that your system has the minimum security software running and up-to-date as per the school's acceptable use policy.
What are these selected applications?
Once the SafeConnect Policy Key is enabled, we will require that your Windows Automatic Updater is running. You must also have antivirus software installed and running with the most current definitions available.
What am I allowed to access when quarantined?
Antivirus Software and Internet sites such as Microsoft Windows Update Services, along with other on-campus resources you may need.
When I run Windows Update Services, I get a message stating that the product key used to install windows is invalid. Why?
Windows Update will fail if your Windows Operating System is not properly licensed. You must have a legal copy of the operating system to connect to the university network. Please contact Microsoft or your PC manufacturer with questions.
What if my system is not up-to-date?
If your system has been determined not to be up-to-date, your computer will be "quarantined." While quarantined, you will still have access to academic resources such as online learning tools and online registration, as well as to update servers for your operating system, anti-spyware and anti-virus software
What about my privacy?
Your privacy is important to us. The SafeConnect Policy Key scans only for Windows update services compliance and anti-virus software. No user data is collected or stored. Click here for the SafeConnectPrivacy Statement.
SafeConnect is telling me that I need to install antivirus software, but I already have an antivirus program installed. Why?
Currently SafeConnect has the ability to detect: Sophos, McAfee, TrendMicro, EZ Antivirus, Symantec, AVG, Authentium, Microsoft OneCare, Symantec Corp, McAfee NA, McAfee 45, TrendMicro Corp, Panda, AVGuard, Avast, Bitdefender, Kaspersky and SpySweeper AV. If you are running some other antivirus software, you must uninstall it and install one of the detectable programs. Symantec Corporate Edition can be obtained free of charge from the antivirus downloads page.
I've been asked to login more then once. Why?
Though the Resnet system is configured for a one time login, you may be asked to re-authenticate periodically. The most common reason for this is if your computer has been off the network for some time and lost it's IP address lease.
I've already installed the Policy Key and it is running, but
I am repeatedly asked to download and install it.Why?
Something is preventing the Policy Key from communicating with the SafeConnect server. The most common cause is a firewall or antivirus program denying access. You'll need to make an exception from your firewall configuration to allow internet access for SCClient.exe and SCManager.sys.
Another possible cause is if you are connecting multiple computers behind a router. (At Einstein Eastchester Housing). If one of the computers does not have the Policy Key running, it can cause the system to think that the other computers do not have the Policy Key. Routers are discouraged in Resnet, but if you are going to use one you should register each computer by directly connecting it to the wall outlet before using the router.

"Adorable! I think this is a very cute idea for personalizing your mugs. I really want to try this as a valentine's gift but I need to know how long the ink will last on a project. Can I also use it on any other material, say plastic and glass? I could end up stenciling my entire kitchenware but am sure I won't regret it."
"I love this idea! Its super cute plus it adds a stylish touch to your kitchen while being very cost effective. Anyone who walks into your kitchen will feel like they're in their favorite coffee shop. I love it when my recipes turn out wonderful because I didn't accidentally put coffee into my chocolate milkshake."

I am not able to save any of the patterns. I have registered, but came back to log in and told me I could not do so. I said to send password to email, it said it did and it did not. So, unhappily, I am having to go through each pattern, look and decide if I want to save it. URGH...not a lot of fun doing it this way. Some cute ideas, a lot for beginners, which I am looking for more advanced patterns to look at. But thanks for posting these, any ideas are refreshing cause I am running out of visuals and feel like everything I make is a repeat in some ways of the one I did before. I will be back and maybe in the meantime I will eventually get the email...

Most sweet fruits require an abundance of sunshine. Strawberries are especially thirsty for the sun's rays, requiring at least 8 hours of full sun, and rich, well-drained soil. The good news is you don't need a vegetable garden to provide these conditions, you might just find the needed sunlight on your deck or patio. When you do, plant your strawberry patch in a half-barrel or other large container on the deck. Or, strawberry plants can be incorporated into a flowerbed as a ground cover or edging plant.
Short on space? Produce a nice crop of strawberries in a few hanging baskets or in "strawberry pots" with wide pockets. Growing strawberries in these types of containers keep berries cleaner, and smaller containers are child-sized for young gardeners-in-training. Strawberries like to stay evenly moist and smaller containers will require frequent watering. When growing strawberries in containers, use a well-drained potting mix, such as Miracle-Gro® Moisture Control® Potting Mix.
Strawberries like well-drained, slightly acid soil enriched with lots of organic matter, such as Miracle-Gro® Organic Choice® Garden Soil. When planting in the ground, dig the soil and work in 3 inches of organic matter into the top 6 inches. Strawberries can grow in clay or poorly drained soils with a little help. Work several inches of organic matter into the soil, then form the soil into mounds or hills. Another option for poorly drained soils is to plant in raised beds.
You will find 3 fruiting types of strawberries - ever-bearing, June-bearing, and day-neutral. 'Ozark Beauty', 'Quinault' and 'Sequoia' are considered ever-bearing. These plants produce a large flush of fruit from their spring flowering, rest during the long days of summer and produce another, smaller crop in fall. June-bearing cultivars, like 'Tennessee Beauty', produce their entire crop in a 3-week period about 30 days after flowering. In locations with mild winters, look for day-neutral types like 'Camarosa' and 'Sweet Charlie'.
Early spring planting is best in Zone 6 northward; fall planting is preferable from Zone 7 south. In the South, strawberries can begin producing as early as February and, further north, as late as June.
Strawberries like to spread out. Dig holes wide and deep enough to accommodate plant roots. Be sure to leave the crown of the plant well above the soil line. Cover the roots completely with soil, pressing down gently but firmly. Space plants 12-18 inches apart. Add a layer of mulch to retain moisture, minimize weeds and keep berries clean..
Strawberries require consistent moisture but should never stay soggy. If it rains less than an inch during any given the week, you should water your plants. Strawberries produce lots of offshoots. You'll get larger, sweeter berries if you trim all but 3 offshoots from the parent plant. Plant the trimmings to start new beds, or give them to friends who want their own fresh strawberries. In the lower South, using the young plants to replace the parent plant each year helps reduce problems with disease.
Birds love strawberries as much as we do and will devour the ripest spot on the berry. Prevent birds from sharing your harvest with a drape of bird netting.

Capturing Stories of the Civil Rights Movement
- Grades: 3–5, 6–8
The majority of American students do not fully grasp the historical significance of Barack Obama's presidency. How could they? No history text accurately and vividly reveals the pain, power, individual sacrifice, and wisdom of the civil rights movement.
But with today's technology, any student can get firsthand accounts of the movement from local heroes and share those inspirational stories with thousands — online. Read on to see how you can help kids capture eyewitness accounts of one of the greatest and most provocative movements in American history.
There is someone in your city, town, or state who is a living legend, an ordinary American (of any color) who used nonviolent strategies to overcome legalized segregation and fought for economic and social justice in the 1950s and 60s. Invite that person into your classroom. Hurry to collect the stories of a diminishing generation. Get the word out, grab a camera, and join us in an effort to catalog personal experiences and vivid testimonies that will enrich any classroom. Use these visual testimonies to prompt substantive conversation during lessons, spark passionate nonfiction writings, and create intergenerational web historians.
Oral history projects are not new. During the Great Depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt used the Works Project Administration (the WPA) to get lots of unemployed American writers back to work. Workers in the WPA's Federal Writer's Project, including Studs Terkel, Zora Neale Hurston, and Richard Ellison, recorded the testimonies of thousands of former American slaves, collected stories of the Great Depression, and captured bits of local and regional life in the United States. Check out the Library of Congress for dozens of oral history projects on World War I, World War II, and more for your students.
My students modeled their project on Steven Spielberg's Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation. Spielberg's project, now the USC Shoah Foundation Institute, uses cutting-edge technology to capture the stories of survivors of the Holocaust, the genocide in Rwanda, and other genocides around the world. Their mission? To "overcome prejudice, intolerance, and bigotry — and the suffering they cause — through the educational use of the Institute's visual history testimonies." Take ten minutes to watch a video that will move you and your students to create a local visual history project.
What Steven Spielberg and USC did for our understanding of the Holocaust, tech-savvy kids and teachers can do for the civil rights movement.
Booking Your Interview Subjects
Seek out students' grandparents, great-grandparents, elderly neighbors, and family friends via memos sent home. Find interview subjects at houses of worship, nursing homes, and community centers. Use your school's website and local newspapers to publicize your project.
Our students spoke about their project at Tarrytown, New York's historic Foster Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church. This church (a stop on the Underground Railroad) provided a welcome atmosphere in which to distribute pre-interview consent forms to seniors and their families.
Download the Bronx New School Civil Rights Project pre-interview form for your school's civil rights project. The completed pre-interview forms will enable your students to research unfamiliar topics (e.g., Freedom Riders or poll taxes) and develop detailed questions for subjects. On pre-interview forms, students also independently list their observations and musings. Sort candidates the way you wish to catalog them on your website, .e.g., stories of triumph over Jim Crow Laws, voter registration-drive participants, etc.
Top Ten Interview Tips From Bronx New School Fifth Graders
10. Use a camera with an external microphone for best sound quality. Take the classroom phone off the hook. Close the classroom door, and post a large sign that reads,"RECORDING! KEEP OUT!" Turn off your school's AC unit or anything else that will cause unwanted noise or interference.
9. Make sure students are real historians before embarking on a civil rights project. Have them document their own family's history so they know how to be sensitive reporters.
8. Light your subject very well. The cheaper the camcorder, the smaller the lens and the more light required to create a quality picture.
7. The interviewer should sit or stand right next to the camera lens as they conduct the interview. Ask the interview subject to look at the interviewer and talk naturally rather than speaking to the camera lens.
6. Say "speed" when your camera is actually recording. It lets the interviewer know that you are really ready to start.
5. Make sure a clean restroom and plenty of fluids are available for your guest. Make a welcome sign. Greet the guest at the school door, escort them to your classroom, and hang up his or her coat. Engage them in casual conversation before the interview so that your subject will be relaxed before going on camera.
4. Develop questions before the interview. Avoid yes or no questions to get your interview subject talking; instead, ask open-ended questions.
3. Listen to your subject closely! Be prepared to ask follow-up questions or to rephrase questions to get more detailed answers.
2. Ask your guests to bring period photos or artifacts to the interview; scan the images. Then use the Ken Burns' effect in Windows Movie Maker or iMovie to create a documentary with primary sources for extra credit.
1. After the interview, send a thank-you note to your guests telling them one or two things that the class has learned.

Wow, Mitch! Thanks for the tip. I didn't even think to SHOW the kids the later works of WPA writers... will do so now. They will be so inspired.
The kids just booked a woman who organized sit-ins with C.O.R.E. They are also trying to coordinate a reunion of Freedom Riders from Westchester! Beat the clock, young historians! Beat the clock!
I can't wait to see the kid's interviews.
Your mention of Studs Terkel reminded me how he preserved the oral histories of typical American workers. The stories of these everyday people were heroic. Terkel's get-out-of-the-way-and-let-the-subject-talk approach allowed us to experience the lives of these waitresses, factory workers, telephone operators, etc. and to make the ordinary, extra-ordinary. His book "Working" is one of the best examples of this; It was even made into a musical!

Our experienced, board-certified pediatric cardiologists from the Nemours Cardiac Center at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Del., come here to our pediatric specialty care office in Newtown Square to provide convenient heart care for children in your area. It's our way of extending our renowned pediatric cardiology care to you — where and when you need it.
Your Local Access to Our Nationally Recognized Excellence
Here at Nemours duPont Pediatrics, Newtown Square, we see babies, kids and teens for appointments ranging from initial consultations to diagnostic testing to surgical follow-ups.
If you're pregnant and your doctor suspects your baby may have a possible heart problem, we also offer fetal diagnostic cardiology services and consultations for expectant parents. As early as the 18th week of the pregnancy, we can perform fetal echocardiography (fetal "echo") — an in-depth cardiac ultrasound study that allows us to view the structure, function, and rhythm of a baby's heart while still in the womb. If we detect a heart defect, we'll help you understand your baby's condition, coordinate consultations with one of our pediatric cardiologists, and plan for any necessary treatment at or soon after the birth.
When you see any of our pediatric cardiologists for any reason, know that you'll get the very best in heart care for kids. Our pediatric cardiologists are part of duPont Hospital for Children — ranked among the nation's best in pediatric cardiology and heart surgery by U.S. News & World Report.
If your child's appointment is for an initial consultation, you may have been referred to us by your primary care or pediatricians' office for evaluation of these common symptoms:
- heart murmurs
- chest pain
- fast heartbeat
- palpitations (irregular heartbeat)
- cyanosis (blue coloration)
- fainting
We also provide follow-up evaluation for children with known heart problems and for kids who've undergone heart surgery or heart transplantation. If your child needs tests, such as an electrocardiogram (EKG) or echocardiography (echo), we'll perform them at the time of the visit — and we'll give you the results immediately after these tests are completed. If your child needs it, we also offer specialized remote monitoring, so we can monitor your child's heart rhythm from your own home.
Compassionate Pediatric Cardiology Care
Whatever your child's heart condition and wherever you see one of our pediatric cardiologists, we'll do everything within our power to give you comprehensive, compassionate heart care. We'll give your child a swift diagnosis and, if needed, treatment — right when it matters the most.
Learn more about:
If your child needs further testing, hospitalization, treatment or surgery, you may be referred to either the Nemours Cardiac Center at duPont Hospital for Children or another recommended health care provider nearby.

Brewed up the Botan this morning. 4.5g in 140ml at 150f, preheated pot. Times at 60,15,30,60,60.
First brew very nice. Second cup brewed up a very solid green - was afraid it may be to much. But nice and smooth flavor, no bitterness. Started to get a bit of bitterness in the last two brews. Overall very good, I will give this one a 4.
