Biology Registration InformationFor Biology 6A, 6B, 6C, 26, 40A, 40B, 40C and 45!
Please note: Biology classes with prerequisites are limited to 10 seats during the college priority registration. Priority registration takes place before continuing student registration and is a college policy NOT a division policy. The Biological, Health and Environmental Sciences division does not have a priority registration group.
IMPORTANT: The Biology classes are opened manually between 7:30-8:30 a.m. on the first day of continuing student registration and remain open until class enrollment and wait lists are full. If you are not able to enroll or add to a wait list, you may attend the first class session to see if there is space available. In order to obtain an add code from the instructor, you must obtain proof of prerequisite clearance from the division office via an equivalency determination memo.
If you think you have equivalent course work from another college for any prerequisites, please bring a transcript (does not have to be official, can be a copy) for equivalency determination to the Biological, Health and Environmental Science Division office (KC228 in the Kirsch Center for Environmental Studies) prior to the start of registration! Detailed course outlines and/or syllabi for coursework completed at private schools and out-of-state schools must be submitted with transcript(s). Foreign transcripts must be evaluated from an outside evaluation service, De Anza College does not evaluate foreign transcripts.
A prerequisite in progress such as a Chemistry 50 or Biology 40A class will not preclude you from being accepted; however, if you do not pass the class with a grade of C or better you will be dropped from the course. The Biology 6A, 6C, 40A, 40B and 40C classes have a maximum enrollment capacity of 32 students. Biology 6B and Biology 26 have a maximum enrollment capacity of 28 students. Biology 45 has a maximum of 40 students. The first 32 qualified students are enrolled for Biology 6A, 6C, 40A, 40B and 40C classes and the first 28 students for Biology 6B and Biology 26 and the first 40 students for Biology 45. Please bear in mind that this includes the 10 priority registration seats.REMINDER: Equivalency information for these classes MUST be submitted to the Biological, Health and Environmental Science Division office (KC228 in the Kirsch Center for Environmental Studies) prior to the start of registration!

Donation to library
The American Legion Post #758 recently gave the Sugar Grove Library $4000 to assist with their events. The Sugar Grove Library's board of Directors is responsible for the fiscal well-being of the library and they take that responsibility seriously in the stressed economy.
As a direct result of state budget cuts and a down-turned economy the library is much more proactive in creating events that not only augment the library's need for annual sustainable fundraising but also establish a venue for the library to give back to our local community.
Librarian Kim Wilson stated, "On behalf of the Board and the over 5,000 people they we serve, we would like to thank the American Legion Post #758 for the $4,000 donation and the help that it give us by allowing us to continue to reach all goals."

Nairobi/Arendal 22 February, 2001 - Massive changes in the Arctic, which are likely to have dramatic impacts on the world's weather systems, fisheries, wildlife and people living in the far North, are today forecast by scientists studying global warming.
Their research indicates that the area of summer sea ice in the Arctic Ocean could thin by as much as 60 per cent if carbon dioxide levels reach double their pre-industrial levels in the atmosphere. Experts anticipate that CO2 concentrations will reach this level in 2050 unless countries back swift and deep cuts in emissions from cars, factories, power stations and homes.
The scientists say they cannot rule out the possibility that the Arctic Ocean may become totally ice-free as a result of climate change. Klaus Toepfer, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), said: "We have, during the last half of the 20th century, seen sea ice in the region disappearing at a rate of nearly three per cent a decade". In the Arctic the extent of sea ice has declined by nearly a third over the past 130 years.
"These new findings on the future impacts of climate change in the Arctic should be sending alarm bells across the globe. What happens in the Arctic and the Antarctic have implications for everyone on the planet. The polar regions play a crucial role in driving the circulation of the world's oceans which in turn affect weather systems and the climate on every continent," he said.
Mr Toepfer said the findings made it even more urgent that the Climate Change negotiations, which stalled in The Hague at the end of last year, were resumed without delay. Svein Tveitdal, Managing Director of GRID-Arendal which is UNEP's key polar centre, said: "The report confirms that global warming in the Arctic is accelerating. This is expected to have major ecological, sociological and economic impacts". "Significant climate change here now seems unavoidable. Arctic countries need to act now to help people living in Arctic areas adapt to the damaging impacts that are likely to occur during this new century," he said.
Mr Toepfer and Mr Tveitdal were reacting to today's release of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPPC) third assessment report of its Working Group II. The IPCC was launched in 1988 by UNEP and the World Meteorlogical Organization. It has a chapter on the polar regions.
The researchers involved are claiming increased confidence in their forecasts as more data on the Arctic is acquired and global climate circulation models are refined. Impacts on Ice "Changes in the polar climate will have a direct impact on the great ice sheets, ice caps and glaciers of the polar regions," says the report. During the 20th century, winter air temperatures climbed by up to five degrees C.
The new assessment claims that temperatures in the Arctic might rise by as much as 14 degrees C during the 21st century. The vast, Greenland, ice sheet is expected suffer extensive melting. "The Greenland ice sheet suffers melting in summer at its margins. There is a trend towards an increase in area and duration of this melt.. If warming continues, the Greenland ice sheet will shrink considerably, as occurred in previous interglacial periods, and if sustained will completely melt," says the IPCC report.
It also says that global warming will reduce the amount of sea ice in the Arctic. At least three computer models are cited. One predicts a 60 per cent loss of summer sea ice if CO2 levels reach double pre-industrial levels. The summer season, during which the ice retreats far offshore, increases from 60 days to 150 days, this models predicts.
At the moment sea ice retreats from the coastline of countries in the Arctic by between 150km and 200km. By 2050 the sea ice might retreat up to 800km as a result of global warming. Another model forecasts that 80 per cent of sea ice will be lost by 2050. The report warns that "with prolonged warming, a transition to an Arctic Ocean that is ice-free in summer and perhaps even in winter could take place".
Mr Tveitdal said the loss of ice in the Arctic could lead a sudden, acceleration, of global warming. Ice reflects radiation or heat from the sun back into space. "Absorbed radiation over snow and ice is three times lower than over land. Reduced ice and snow cover might trigger an accelerated climate change," he said.
Wildlife, Fisheries and Indigenous People
The retreat and loss of ice in the Arctic will have harmful impacts for many of the species living in the region. Polar bears need sea ice so they can hunt for seals. A retreat and loss of sea ice could make it harder for these animals to get enough food. Pregnant females and those with cubs may be particularly at risk Those species of seal that need ice for resting, pup rearing and molting, will also be at risk.
Climate change in the Arctic is expected to alter the speed and patterns of ocean currents which in turn will impact fish stocks. "Arctic fisheries are among the most productive in the world. Changes in the velocity and direction of ocean currents affect the availability of nutrients and the disposition of larval and juvenile organisms, thereby influencing recruitment, growth and mortality," says the IPCC report.
Changes are already taking place, boosting some stocks and damaging others. "Many groundfish stocks have shown a positive response to recent climate change. But Greenland turbot, a species more adapted to colder climes, and King crab stocks in the eastern Bering Sea and Kodiak, have declined," says the report. It says that projected climate change might halve or double harvests depending on the stocks concerned. Meanwhile some fisheries might die out altogether while new ones develop. "This could increase or decrease local economies by hundreds of millions of dollars annually," says the report.
Changes in the abundance and distribution of fish stocks and wildlife are just one of the issues facing fishermen, Arctic communities and the traditional,indigenous, peoples. The disappearance of sea ice will affect their ability to hunt and the conditions for reindeer herding may be aversely affected by increased global warming.
The Arctic accumulates pollution, including Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) like the pesticide DDT and polychlorinated biphenols (PCBs), which have been discharged from industry and agriculture around the globe. Loss of sea ice could trigger the release of these "ghosts of the past" which are currently trapped in the ice causing them to enter the food chain. This which would pose a health threat to top predators such as polar bears and human beings in the region.
The coastline along which many communities live might suffer accelerated rate of erosion, more frequent flooding and damage to buildings and infrastructure, the report argues. "Without sea ice, wave heights will increase, and the Arctic coast will be more exposed to such severe weather events as storm surges causing increased coastal erosion, inundation and threat to structures," it says.
Mr Tveitdal said:"One economic benefit, however, could be in the area of shipping. A retreat of the sea ice northwards is likely to open up the so called Northern Sea Route allowing vessels to sail from Europe to the Far East and Japan by going north of Russia rather than using the existing routes which involve, for example, the Suez Canal". "Experts estimate this should reduce sailing times, cutting the costs of goods and cutting air pollution from shipping. The only risk is one of accidents. More ships sailing in the area will increase the chance of a vessel sinking or running aground with the danger that oil and other pollutants could enter the Arctic environment," he said.
The extent of permafrost, the solid layer of ice and soil, in the Arctic could be reduced by up to 22 per cent as a result of global warming, the report says. In Canada up to half of the present-day cover of permafrost could be lost if CO2 levels double. "This thawing of the permafrost will destroy buildings, roads, pipelines and transmission lines.
In Siberia, a large number of five-storey builldings have already been weakened or damaged. It is predicted that by 2030 most buildings in cities like Yakutsk and Tikisi could be lost," said Mr Tveitdal. Permafrost also stores large amounts of ancient carbon and methane, another global warming gas. Thawing is likely release some of this stored carbon and methane back into the atmosphere, increasing the risk of further climate change, he said.
Ocean Circulation and Weather
Increased snow and rainfall and widespread melting of ice and permafrost may lead to higher levels of freshwater entering the Arctic Ocean. This freshening of the Arctic Ocean could have important impacts on ocean circulation. The formation of sea ice, which leads to salty, heavy water, sinking down deep into the ocean, also plays a key role in driving deepwater currents which in turn affect weather patterns and climate across the globe.
"The IPCC report raises concern that this so called global thermohaline circulation may weaken as a result of global warming. This could have significant effects on economies, lifestyles and ecosystems. Past climate change has led to circulation patterns switching from one condition to another. These have caused large and sometimes abrupt regional impacts. For example the ports of western European countries like Britain are kept ice free in winter because of the Gulf Stream.
Changes in the thermohaline circulation, even though they are unlikely, might cause a shift in the Gulf Stream, deflecting it away from western Europe with far reaching effects," said Mr Tveitdal.

Very good
Posted by happydays on Aug 14, 2012
lovely sweet vanilla taste. Use this a lot in greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, cappucino etc..
Weird taste
Posted by Wakeupgrindrepeat on Jun 22, 2015
I bought this knowing that stevia does not go well with a lot of people .I think this flavour is one that needs time getting used to . I would not add too much to my drinks or things I want to sweeten because of that weird aftertaste :( I guess that is just how stevia tastes . Works for me since im on a ketogenic diet .
Very sweet!
Posted by holahola on Apr 29, 2010
Like this one. Very sweet, but if you use too much of it it becomes waaay to sweet and tastes a littebit "fake" and unnatural vanilla. You can taste it is made from stevia, but not if you dont use too much. It's great in smoothie, candymaking and tea.
Not bad (:
Posted by Sweetx-Shorty on Oct 22, 2013
But english toffee takes the tops in this series. NOnetheless, i would recommend both this and english toffee if you're looking for a little extra boost to your daily java/tea PLus super affordable AND you're taking in 24grams of quality protein in what taste like a MILKSHAKE! Treat yourself everyday without guilt!
Vanilla Creme
Posted by Reviewer3080723 on Jan 08, 2016
Delicious. I love it with mineral water, 5-8 drops makes it taste just like creaming soda. Yum! Will buy again.
Great in carbonated water!
Posted by Reviewer1323692 on Feb 13, 2012
We used this and the root beer together to make a carbonated root beer cream soda.
Posted by Reviewer3272178 on Feb 27, 2012
In smoothies, coffe, yoghurt and so on. A little goes a long way!
A good substitute for Davinci or Torani sugarfree syrups
Posted by Reviewer3177127 on Mar 04, 2012
This is a nice little product. The vanilla flavor is not perfectly exact to how a vanilla bean would taste, but it's flavor is good regardless. It's excellent in coffee or lattes, and it's a great substitute for Starbucks Vanilla Sugarfree syrup. And the little bottle is very easy to put in your purse and add to your drinks as needed. The price is very good for the amount and concentration of stevia in this liquid. I like it a lot and will generally buy it when iHerb puts it on sale (which is often, fortunately.) I'd recommend it, but individual opinions of the flavour may vary.
Posted by Reviewer1960373 on Mar 08, 2012
Use these in my soy lattes. Love it!
Posted by Reviewer2466099 on Mar 19, 2012
strong vanilla aroma and flavor - nice for certain things (as long as it's something you don't mind masking the aroma of).

Stock Futures Dip as Stronger U.S. Economy Augers Tapering
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were dipping Thursday as better-than-expected U.S. economic growth heightened expectations that the Federal Reserve will begin to curb its bond-buying stimulus measures that have fueled equity markets for close to two years.
Meanwhile Vodafone
Futures for the S&P 500 were slipping 0.75 points, or 1.36 points below fair value, to 1,631.5. Stocks rose Wednesday as concern eased about the potential magnitude of international military action against Syria. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were up 45 points, or 47.49 points above fair value, to 14,851. Futures for the Nasdaq were trading ahead by 12.5 points, or 9.48 points above fair value, to 3,080.75.
The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that the two companies had rekindled discussions in a deal that likely would cost Verizon well more than $100 billion. Vodafone said Thursday there is no certainty an agreement will be reached.
Also Guess?

Going Vegetarian: All at Once or Gradually?
Some people make the transition to a vegan diet all at once. But that's not for everybody; some people need more time to make the switch.
If you don't want to go vegan all at once, we suggest the following three-step plan:
1. For the first two weeks, be vegan three days a week. Make simple substitutions for animal products in your favorite meals. Instead of meat in tacos, substitute refried beans, peppers, and onions. Instead of sausage in your spaghetti sauce, try veggie sausage or sautéed mushrooms.
2. For the next two weeks, try being vegan five days a week. Sample some new vegetarian recipes and products—your taste buds will be pleasantly surprised at the new variety.
3. You've been nearly vegan for almost a month—congratulations! Round out the month with a couple more vegan days, and give yourself a pat on the back. If you're like most people, you'll find that you feel lighter and more alert on your vegan days, and soon you'll be eating all vegan, all the time.
If you want to go vegan all at once but need a little encouragement, take our "Pledge to be Vegan for 30 Days."

@aishja Thanks for your comment! Being vegan means eating nothing that comes from an animal (including eggs, milk and cheese). For tips on how to go vegan, please check out this feature: http://features.peta.org/how-to-go-vegan/
Everyone for more information about going vegetarian copy and paste this web address into your browser http://www.happycow.net/becoming_vegetarian.html . It is a great resource for information about how unhealthy meat is, what you can substitute it with, and other helpful tips.
I am thinking about becoming a vegan. But could someone tell me the difference between that and a vegetarian. Thanks in advance
I'm in the process of going vegetarian right now. I started a couple of days ago. I really want to go vegan but I think it'll be tough if I do it all at once so I'll start with vegetarian. I plan on going vegetarian all at once though. It's kind of scary because of the rumors and what my friends and family are telling me but I really want to make the commitment. I have no idea where to start and I haven't eaten much since I decided to start but I'll stay true to my commitment and research the new life style I'm choosing.
I know the comment's old, but to address Brittany's concern that others may have regarding getting dizzy after a week off meat: meat, and the bacteria, toxins, and cholesterol it introduces to our system can cause a sort of withdrawl when switching to a vegetarian diet. This is because the body is confused and so the animal proteins and fats that it is used to converting have been switched to something different. Our bodies synthesize plant and animal proteins very differently, and a plant-based diet is now considered healthiest for humans (http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/pyramid/).
There is an adjustment period, but it's worth it. It truly is like withdrawing from a drug, the body still craves it even though it wreaks havoc on it for the simple fact that it's used to having the drug. Our bodies are used to having meat at this point in time, but from an evolutionary perspective the consumption of meat by humans on a regular basis is very recent and so our bodies are perfectly suited biologically to convert to a plant-based diet, we just go into a bit of shock for a while as our bodies cleanse themselves and adjust.
I was vegetarian from the time I was a kid to 25 or so. Felt great and was always on the move. Started eating meat when I started dating my hubby. I didn't want him to know I was picky. Now 20 years later I fell like crap and find myself sitting and watching tv too much, and I am 30 pounds over weight. This is not me. I also feel like I have tuned my back on my conviction that animals have the right to live and be happy also. Now how to get back to me. I tried giving up meat all at once – failed. So no I gave up one at a time. Off of pork, then beef, next bird. Not sure if I'll give up fish yet. That will be last step. By jan 1 I hope to have a kill free diet and on my way back to being me. Please think good thoughts for me to get back on track
As a lifetime " foodie" and person who writes recipes and cooks for a living, as well as a very active person who requires health eating to sustain an active lifestyle, two things: one, translating your favorite recipe into a vegetarian version is like translating written words into another language…..some things will translate well, others do not. Secondly, for some of us with a very phycially active lifestyle, eating vegetarian exclusively does not make us " feel better". On some of my most demanding workout days I include animal foods; the rest of the time I do not. Many of us physically active people are very health conscious and love the vegetarian options, we just don't want it to have to do so exclusively.
I went vegan all at once and I do not regret it at all. I feel so much better.
I am excited to go back to not eating meat. I was a vegetarian from the time I was 9 until I was 21 when I got pregnany with my son. I craved steak and eggs alot. I have been sick and extremely tired for several years and rememebered how great I felt when I didn't eat animal prodcits. My son won't eat meat at all so I think I will follow my 5 year old's footstep. Thanks for all of the resources!
I am currently going vegetarian and was wondering, should I be more conscious to get protein in my diet? I started drinking a glass of milk a day (working toward being a vegetarian for now, maybe vegan one day) and some granola or protein bars, but is this necessary? After about a week off of meat I was at the gym and out of nowhere felt very dizzy and my head started pounding and I have no idea what it was from or if it could have any relation to not getting enough protein in my diet. Thanks in advance for any feedback!
I've been a vegetarian for almost 5 years. I never liked meat my whole life so I figured it was appropriate to do. My parents aren't accepting of it, and I only have a couple friends that are also vegetarians. My boyfriend eats meat everyday and it doesn't bother me at all. It's just not my thing.
I've decided I'm going to go vegetarian, but I can't go vegan (I couldn't cut out dairy even though I'm horribly disgusted by the dairy industry… I eat too much cheese and it's my favorite food.) I'm also still debating if I want to do it gradually or all at once. Today is my second day of not eating meat, and I've been planning to not eat meat for a week and decide then if I'm going to stop eating meat permenately or if I'm going to wean myself off meat by eating meat maybe once every few days or something and gradually stop. I'm surprised on how fast my mentality has changed though. I used to be a huge meat-eater that thought I could never give up meat but here I am, transitioning into a vegetarian and pretty much disgusted with the notion of eating dead animals.
PETA's been a huge help for me in my transition, thank you!
you should check out Prevent and reverse heart disease by Caldwell Esselstyn. although it is about heart disease he has 150 vegan recipies in it. Also check out engine2diet.com his son Rip Esselstyn has great recipies and was a athlete. Happy and Healthy eating
I am 14 and as soon as i can go to the doctors i am going to a vegetarian diet. I dont know what to expect really because it will be hard but i think i need people to help me through my first couple days since it will still be a HUGE change in my diet.
Hi Nikcraw4, I was an athlete in highschool as well, so I know how important nutrition is with sports. I think you can still do it, but you really have to be careful that you're getting enough nutrients and protein daily. I know what's it's like to pass out on the field because you're not eating enough, its happened to me AND my brother. its not pretty. if your not going to eat meat, make sure your eating enough protein, and that you have a snack before practice, so you have enough energy, because our metabolism burns vegetables and fruits quickly. And you don't need to prove to anyone what you can or cannot do; your capacity to success is not dependent on other's people's belief in you. your health is the first priority.
I'm 15 and I've decided not to eat meat….I'm starting tomorrow and I'm scared. Everyone I've talked to doesn't think I can do it. Not only do I want to prove them wrong, but I just don't like to eat meat, period. I'm an athlete in high school and I've been up all night reading website after website, they say I'm going to lose weight and it's not healthy to be an athlete and a vegetarian? I need some answers, and some supporters on my choice. Any comments?
I am about to start trying to become a vegan .. as far as milk, I alrady drink soy milk or almond milk (because I already know that our body can't digest regular milk properly..we are the only species that drinks milk after infancy!?) I'm just having trouble finding reciepes that I would like to eat.. I have tried tofu in the past and didn't really like it that much.. I am a little nervous about trying this and failing but it's something I've been preparing myself for. I already eat a lot of vegatables and fruits, it's just finding a alternative for meat…? any suggestions or advice?
i have been trying to be a vegetarian for some time now and it seems like every time i try i get tempted and eat meat but now i been doing pretty good but i love milk and i don't know what to drink to replace it
I reaaaally wanna be vegan, jesus, I'm trying starting to eat vegetables, fruits, and I'm trying now to replace meat for veggie "meat"…I hope my parents support me :T
But since I came to NYC I'm kinda depressed cause when I go to stores like Century 21 with my mum, I see fur coats for sale and the only thing I was hoping for are people destroying those stuff…PLEASE, DO IT, THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY AND MY MOM LOVES THAT STORE (but she doesn't wear fur)
is there anything I'm going to miss if I stop eating beef? I mean, are there any vitamins or certain amino acids I need to be mindful of? Sorry to be so ignorant but I'm at the point where I can't tolerate eating dead animals. how easy is it to mix beans and whatever to get all the nutrients, vitamins, amino acids I need? thanks in advance
i really want to make the transition…but my parents arent with me on this. its frustrating. i dont know ive thought about vegetarianism and stuff maybe once i can start affording my own food choices…?
the writers of the book, skinny bitch, say that the brand "Follow Your Heart" has the best vegan cheese. Personally, i haven't tried it yet, but i thought i'd mention it 🙂
Day 24 of being a vegetarian and I feel sooo relieved not to be part of the suffering of animals anymore. My soul just could not handle it anymore.
Thank you for the recipes and all the wonderful work you do PETA
I transitioned into becoming a vegetarian over the summer. I'm still working my way through it, since many establishments around and within our university cater more to meat-loving individuals. It's true that during the first few months of turning vegetarian, I felt a lot more energized and way lighter! I'm looking forward to adjusting and embracing the vegan lifestyle entirely in the near future. 🙂
I'm newly vegetarian — I first gave up beef, after watching a video of a supposedly "humane" slaughterhouse in Belgium that I happened across. After I stopped eating cows, I began to think about other animals, too. It was easier for me this way, and I did feel a bit better about myself for just saying now to at least one animal product.
Please tell me what is your favorite vegan cheese? It is the only thing I am struggling with to becoming vegan. I haven't found a good vegan cheese I like.
This is basically how I went vegetarian. I did it slowly. It made it much easier for me to stick to!
pasta primavera from lean cuisine or smart ones, is very good, and i'm pretty sure its vegan. its in the red box lol. 🙂
I've found outstanding recipes at theppk.com (the post punk kitchen); some of them are a bit involved, but so far they are amazing!!! I even bought their cookbooks after trying some of the online free recipes.
i have tried the vegetarian frozen meals in my local supermarket and can't find one that i like, where can i find nice recipes to make meals from scratch.

Palm sugar is a great substitute to sugar but I'm allergic to nuts, so last time I ate something with palmsugar I got terrible rashes and got very sick. But this didn't happen at all from my first order with palmsuger. No I don't want to eat this palmsugar anymore because it can contain traces of nuts, sadly... I wish U could sell products that didn't have traces of nuts etc... So this is THE BEST, BUT not for those with nut allergy..

None of the coconut sugars i've tried have worked for baking. My cookies & cakes stuck to the pan & just didn't taste as sweet as when i use brown sugar. Will never use coconut sugar again for baking.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Sept. 22, 2009) – Brazil won the first of five friendly matches with the U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team, 3-1 (23-25, 25-18, 25-20, 25-21) on Tuesday in Montes Claros, Brazil.
The teams will play again on Wednesday at 3 p.m. PT in Montes Claros.
Robert Tarr (Cape Canaveral, Fla.) led the U.S. Men with 12 points on 12 kills. Russell Holmes (Fountain Valley, Calif.) added 11 points on eight kills, two blocks and one ace. His hitting percentage was 0.67. Paul Lotman (Lakewood, Calif.) scored eight points on eight kills.
Brazil completed 47 of 90 kill attempts (52 percent) with seven errors and two blocked shots. The U.S. Men completed 52 of 116 attempts (45 percent) with nine errors and also 10 blocked shots.
Brazil out-blocked the United States 9-3 and had three aces while the U.S. Men had one.
Among other scorers, Riley Salmon (League City, Texas) scored seven points on seven kills. Matt Anderson (West Seneca, N.Y.) added six points on six kills. Andy Hein (Carol Stream, Ill.) scored three points on three kills. Jayson Jablonsky (Yorba Linda, Calif.) added two points on two kills.
Jonathan Winder (Irvine, Calif.) scored one point on a kill and Brian Thornton (San Clemente, Calif.) added one point on a block.
Libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) had seven digs and 47 percent of his receptions were positive. Lotman also had 47 percent positive receptions and Salmon finished at 50 percent.
U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) started Anderson and Salmon at outside hitter, Holmes and Hein at middle blocker, Tarr at opposite, Winder at setter and Lambourne at libero.
The U.S. Men held a slim 8-7 lead at the first technical timeout (TTO) of the first set as Salmon scored on two kills and Holmes added a kill and a block. The teams battled back and forth until the score was tied at 14-14. Brazil scored on two straight kills by Murilo Endres and João Paulo de F. Tavares to take a 16-14 lead at the second timeout. However Team USA came out of the break and tied the score again on kills from Anderson and Salmon. A block by Eder Francis Carbonera put Brazil ahead by one; but the U.S. Men scored three straight points on kills from Tarr and Salmon and a Brazilian error to lead 20-18. The United States maintained the lead and reached set point at 24-22 on Holmes' block of Murilo. A kill by Thiago Barth pulled Brazil to within one, but Holmes ended the set with a final kill.
The second set was also a battle early on as Brazil held an 8-7 advantage at the first TTO. Hein and Salmon each had two kills for the United States while Tarr had one. Coming out of the timeout, Brazil scored another point on a U.S. error to lead by two. Later, with Brazil leading 12-11, the South Americans scored two straight points on a kill by Marlon Muraguti Yared and ace by Thiago Alves gave Brazil the three-point edge. Brazil held a two-point lead at 18-16 when a kill by Joao Paulo set off a four-point run that left the United States behind 16-22. Brazil reached set point first at 24-17. Team USA scored once on a Tarr kill before a U.S. service error ended the set for Brazil.
Brazil again held an 8-7 lead at the first TTO of the third set and then came out of the break to score two more points and take a 10-7 lead. Brazil's lead was still three at 13-11 when it scored three straight points to go into the second TTO ahead 16-11. The United States scored twice on kills from Lotman and Anderson, but two kills by Joao Paulo kept Brazil' lead at five. Team USA pulled to within two points at 17-19, but Brazil scored twice to lead 21-17. Brazil reached set point at 24-20 and Thiago won the set for Brazil with an ace.
Brazil jumped out to a 5-1 lead in the fifth set, including three kills by Joao Paulo, and led 8-4 at the first TTO. Team USA scored on two Brazil errors and kills by Tarr and Jablonsky. Kills by Lotman and Tarr and a block by Thornton, who started the set in place of Winder, helped keep Team USA in the game at 7-9. But Brazil kept up the pressure and led 16-11 at the second TTO. With Brazil leading 20-15, Knipe called timeout and Team USA responded with an Anderson kill. But it was followed by a U.S. service error and despite two more kills from Lotman, Brazil went on to win the set and the match.

Blog Hop, Willowing, Faces
I finished visiting all the blogs on the Blog Hop. Yes, all 483 blogs. Many of them I signed up for. They are all amazing. The most interesting part is I learned a lot about me. In looking at all those blogs I started noticing all the things that spoke to me, things I wanted to try, people I wanted to meet and places I wanted to go. Some of the blogs spoke to me in words and others in photographs, art, and design. I've always known I'm drawn to old, shabby, tattered things. I love working with paper and fabric. I didn't realize how much I love watercolors and sketching. This seems to be what I'm drawn to most at this time. So, without further ado, I'm putting together a watercolor kit and plan on doing more with that medium.
Second I started the wonderfully witty Willowing art course. It's free and it has taken over Blog Land.
The first lesson was to do a portrait as part of a journal spread. I did that and then I did a second portrait as practice partly because I wanted to use a better paper than is in my journal. Here's the results of the second go 'round:
Those of you in the class will see I had a terrible time with the brayer effect. I think my paint is drying out a bit. I didn't do as many layers on this one as Tam does on her video. I just want to get the techniques down.
Practice makes perfect.
I also spent a lot of time yesterday working on a Remains of the Day style journal (Mary Ann Moss.) I love, love, love these journals and I hope to present them in my etsy shop. I'm determined to get this going before the end of the year.
What have you learned about yourself this week? Where are you going with your art, writing, crafting, homemaking? If you put it down in a comment here it will help you get going. Putting it in writing always works that way.

Questions, Anyone?
Shoes on trees
Q. Reader Delores Chase suggested calling Shelter in response to an "unanswered question" in the Oct. 19 Q&A column. The question asked why shoes are hanging on trees at Squaw Bay, and on M-32 near Atlanta, and at other places. Chase was once told that they are hung in memory of lives lost due to domestic violence (mostly women).
A. Sandra Pilgrim-Lewis, executive director of Shelter, Inc. (which serves victims of domestic violence) said that as far as she knows, shoes are not hung on trees in memory of fatal victims of domestic violence. However, she wonders if some people have made a connection between the shoe trees and an event held several years ago as part of a Domestic Violence Awareness Month when Shelter, Inc. created a mobile display of empty shoes. Each pair of shoes in the display represented a victim (by gender and age group) in Michigan during the past year as reported in print news media.
"My thought was that somewhere through the years the two events: community shoe trees and the empty shoe display, merged in meaning for some individuals," Pilgrim-Lewis said.
Shelter, Inc. offers shelter for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault and their children. It is the "go-to place for domestic violence facts, information and services."
Pilgrim-Lewis, in researching shoe trees on the web, found the shoe tree near Atlanta is on the national list of community shoe trees. In some places, shoe trees were started in conjunction with social injustices.
Wanted: Police chief picture
Q. Reader Phil Wiser is writing a book about the history of the Alpena Police Department. He has pictures of all but one chief and wonders if anyone has that last missing one. Details follow.
A. Wiser, a retired sergeant with the Alpena Police Department, has a photo and information on every chief and marshal of the APD all the way back to 1871 except for Chief McCalden. He served from the spring of 1916 to the spring of 1919 when he was replaced by Chief Dougall Mackenzie.
He moved to Flint in 1919 and died there in 1943. Wiser has the obituary (no photo) and also the Alpena News article when he was appointed chief.
Clues for any reader who might look for the missing photo: William Bert McCalden was born in Alpena in 1867, was a teamster for E.H. Furbush Co. and worked for Huron Portland Cement. After he left Alpena he worked for Buick Mtrs., Flint. He and his wife Ida had two sons (Arthur, Detroit and Robert W., Flint) and a daughter, Mrs. Walter Luginbuhl of Flint. A brother, Wilford of Alpena, died in 1946.
Anyone with information or a photo, please call Wiser at 657-1664.
Please send questions and comments to email@example.com or to "Questions, Anyone?" The Alpena News, 130 Park Place, Alpena, MI 49707.

New Music for the King of InstrumentsPosted by John Clare in Concerts, Contemporary Classical, Interviews, New York, tags: Mason Bates, Michael Daugherty, organ, Paul Jacobs, recital
John Clare spoke to Paul about the program, teaching organists new music plus composers about the organ, and some new works by Mason Bates and Michael Daugherty: mp3 file
An extraordinarily expressive performer and an intensely intelligent musician, Grammy Award-winning organist Paul Jacobs is helping the King of Instruments retake its rightful place in classical music. He is known for his marathon performances, which sometimes last up to 18 hours, of the complete works of J.S. Bach, Messiaen, and other composers, as well as his presentations of new works and core repertoire. Jacobs was invited to join the faculty of the Juilliard School in 2003, and was named chairman of the organ department in 2004, one of the youngest faculty appointees in the school's history. He received Juilliard's prestigious William Schuman Scholar's Chair in 2007. Jacobs has played with numerous orchestras around the country, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Jacobs' most recent album is a recording of Copland's Organ Symphony with the San Francisco Symphony under the baton of Michael Tilson Thomas.
"Sacred Music in a Sacred Space" at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola in New York City is committed to presenting the finest sacred choral and organ repertoire spanning over 1,000 years of music history. Known for their artistic excellence, the renowned Choir and Orchestra of St. Ignatius Loyola present exhilarating performances of large-scale choral masterpieces as well as more intimate and reflective settings by lesser-known composers. Internationally-acclaimed organists may also frequently be heard on the Church's magnificent N.P. Mander Pipe Organ, the largest tracker organ in New York City. General admission is $20, with tickets for students and seniors at $15.

My Life with a cat burglarPosted Saturday, November 8, 2008, at 8:00 PM
From his throne atop my favorite chair, my cat Tybalt watches for an opportunity to steal some essential element of our lives - such as our car keys, my vitamin tablets, or a bathtub stopper.
The point is - Thursday night I could not find my car keys. I had a meeting at 6:30, and the keys were nowhere to be found! Looked everywhere - dumped out my purse on the floor. No keys.
Gotta take the truck. Durn, I hate to drive the truck at night...Where's the button for the high beams?? Stomp around on the floor...No, that's not it. Oh, well...drive with them on low...windshield fogs up...turn on wipers...bumpppp...bumppp...bumppp...durn..need new wipers...cell phone rings in my pocket.."Didja forget the meeting??"
Don't tell the girls at the meeting that I lost my keys...they'll say, "Didja look in yer pockets?? Didja look on the ground?" And on & on until I want to strangle them... but of course, I tell them... Sure enough..."Did ya look in yer pockets?" Grrr...NO! Why would I do that???" My best friend Emma accuses me of being "sarcastic"! "You'd better find yer keys or yer not gonna have any friends left with that attitude!"
My point: It's NO FUN LOSING YOUR KEYS!!
The last time this happened, it was my daughter's keys.
"Mom, I left my keys right here on the end table. Where are they?"
"I haven't seen them, Kristin."
"But I left them right here!"
"Well, they didn't just get up and walk off! You must have left them someplace else!"
"But I didn't! They were right here!"
I looked at the cat, who once took the stopper out of my bath tub and carried it down under the computer table at a time when I was looking forward to a hot bath. He looked back at me with wide innocent yellow eyes. "Who, me?"
We searched the house over and over, turned everything upside down...I didn't want her to leave and neither did the cat! I finally found her keys - of all unlikely places - down in the basement on the floor. I don't know why I even looked there, except that it was the only place left! The "Prince of Cats" had struck again.
This time I looked in the basement right away. No keys. I looked under his favorite end table, where he takes the calcium tablets that he finds on the kitchen cabinet....or the dog's antibiotics (that wasn't pleasant, I'll tell you...)
When I got back from the meeting, I looked again. Gotta be here somewhere!
Well, this ending makes the story anticlimactic, but there the keys were on my cluttered desk (the one in the picture) under a piece of paper. Guess I need to apologize to my cat.
Okay, so he didn't do it this time, but I'm still not going to take my eyes off him or let down my guard. He is a pilferer of the first order. I should never have bought cat vitamins for him several years ago. Now he waits until I'm out of the kitchen, and he goes in search of pills! My cat is a drug addict!
I still say that I would give good money to have a beeper on the following items: 1) car keys 2) glasses 3) TV remote.
I wonder if I could train my cat to fetch??

[Show most recent comments first]
Isnt it nice not to speak of politics??? Kidding though, we can let others jump in that fray. We have a rule in our house, all keys go on the key hanger in the hallway.....let's see ole Tylbalt jump that high. Good thing you dont live in my neighborhood, we have a person near here that grabs all loose kitties and calls the cat-(dog) catcher. Of course Dexter has a lease law.

Madeline Dejournett's response:Oh, no, this is an inside cat! I have two cats who are never allowed outside. On the outside, I have the little cat that my son and daughter-in-law had to bring out to the farm, because their neighbor in Kelso didn't like the cat digging in his flower beds.
That gives me three cats and two dogs. My sister-in-law recently found a home for a stray rat terrier who was dumped out here two years ago.
I can't imagine life without animals!
Last night my gentleman friend said that cats had "primal" instincts, and that's why he didn't like them -- they prowled around at night! Haha! Those of us who are 'cat people' find their independence and aloofness appealing.
There's nothing so restful to me as the sight of a cat, lying in a little patch of sunshine.
Of course, I like dogs, too. It's just a totally different thing with dogs, since they're so eager to please! A cat could care less!! Haha!
-- Posted by goat lady on Sat, Nov 8, 2008, at 9:31 PM
We're dog folks--they don't steal keys. They do, however, steal the occasional roast beef or doggy-bag from a favorite restaurant, if left witin reach on the table. (Just because it was CALLED a doggy-bag did not mean I intended it for my favorite dog, my soul-mate boxer!) Cats are fine, too. Since I can't have both though, make mine a dog.
-- Posted by GONENOW on Sun, Nov 9, 2008, at 1:14 PM
Haha! You can't blame a dog for thinking in literal terms! It SAYS "doggy bag," therefore, it must be intended for the dog!! That's the thing about dogs - They're basically "up front" kinda guys - Your dog obviously thought the doggy bag was intended for him/her.
Cats, on the other hand, know very well that it isn't intended for them (for one thing, it isn't called a "kitty bag"), but they DON'T CARE! They want it anyway, and they're perfectly willing to engage in subterfuge to get it!! All is fair in war and food!
-- Posted by goat lady on Sun, Nov 9, 2008, at 2:18 PM
I had a cat when I was a kid that for whatever reason did not like my mother. My mom was washing her cars one day and laid the keys on the ground. The cat snuck up and snatched the keys and headed off toward this teeny weeny hole in the foundation of the house where she liked to sleep. Luckily my mom turned around in time and startled the cat enough when she yelled that the keys were dropped just before they were lost forever under the house. Funny part is the cat came out from under the house a few minutes later searching for the keys again.

Topic: substracting days from Date
I would like to go back 14 days (or months, or years) from today's date. How would I do that?
I tried
Date.today.day - 10
. This returns the days minus 10 days, but does not return the whole date. So for example, if today's date is 2006-11-10 and I want to go back 14 days, I want the date to be returned as 2006-10-27. Format doesn't matter. I am just using 'YYYY-MM-DD'.
Thanks for the help!

Anne, there's two factors impacting your level of chewiness, one big, one small.
Also, kneading time can have a major impact on the chewiness of a dough. Try mixing for longer to see if that gives something more to your liking.
Annie, also you prefer a chewier product but do you think your regular customers will notice and accept the change? No doubt there is a certain percentage who have grown to like the current crust.
We bake on a deck oven set at 500 degrees. Since we don't have ovens with any sort of heat curtain, time of baking depends on our traffic, i.e. how often we are opening those ovens and losing valuable heat... A solo cheese pizza in the oven, baking uninterrupted, bakes for around 6-7 minutes.
We use a dough ball that is 1.42 lb in weight to make both our large, 18" pie, and our house 20" pie.

The INHERIT clause of the ALTER CLASS statement is optional, but must be used when a conflict occurs due to class changes. You can specify more than one resolutions after the INHERIT clause.
superclass_name specifies the name of the superclass that has the new attribute or method to inherit when a conflict occurs. attr_mthd_name specifies the name of the attribute or method to inherit. You can use the alias clause when you need to change the name of the attribute or method to inherit.
The following example creates the soccer_stadium class by inheriting the event and stadium classes in the olympic database of demodb. Because both event and stadium classes have the name and code attributes, you must specify the attributes to inherit using the INHERIT clause.
CREATE CLASS soccer_stadium UNDER event, stadium
INHERIT name OF stadium, code OF stadium;
When the two superclasses (event and stadium) have the name attribute, if the soccer_stadium class needs to inherit both attributes, it can inherit the name unchanged from the stadium class and the name changed from the event class by using the alias clause of the INHERIT.
The following is an example in which the name attribute of the stadium class is inherited as it is, and that of the event class is inherited as the 'purpose' alias.
ALTER CLASS soccer_stadium
INHERIT name OF event AS purpose;
A name conflict may occur again if a superclass that explicitly inherited an attribute or method is dropped by using the INHERIT. In this case, you must specify the attribute or method to be explicitly inherited when dropping the superclass.
The following is an example of creating the seoul_1988_soccer class by inheriting game, participant and stadium classes from demodb, and deleting the participant class from the superclass. Because nation_code and host_year are explicitly inherited from the participant class, you must resolve their name conflicts before deleting it from the superclass. However, host_year does not need to be specified explicitly because it exists only in the game class.
CREATE CLASS seoul_1988_soccer UNDER game, participant, stadium
INHERIT nation_code OF participant, host_year OF participant;
ALTER CLASS seoul_1988_soccer
DROP SUPERCLASS participant
INHERIT nation_code OF stadium;
When an attribute conflict occurs among two or more superclasses, the statement resolving the conflict is not possible only if all attributes have compatible domains.
For example, the class that inherits a superclass with the phone attribute of integer type cannot have another superclass with the phone attribute of string type. If the types of the phone attributes of the two superclasses are both String or Integer, you can add a new superclass by resolving the conflict with the INHERIT clause.
Compatibility is checked when inheriting an attribute with the same name, but with the different domain. In this case, the attribute that has a lower class in the class inheritance hierarchy as the domain is automatically inherited. If the domains of the attributes to inherit are compatible, the conflict must be resolved in the class where an inheritance relationship is defined.

In the first decades of the twentieth century, prestigious European artists like Picasso, Derain, and Matisse revolutionized the art world by "discovering" African art, which formed a basis for Cubism and other avant-garde artistic styles. The aesthetics of African art—its bold forms, intense expressionistic aesthetic, and strong sculptural qualities—shook the art world and changed it forever, though few Westerners at that time recognized the complexity of African cultures or knew much about what these objects meant to the peoples who made them.
During the first half of the twentieth century, the de Young's collections of African art, like those of all major American museums, grew in a random fashion rather than by design— enriched in part by purchases, but mostly by donations from entrepreneurs, travelers, educators, and even Peace Corps volunteers. Some donors had strong aesthetic criteria, while others simply embraced anything deriving from the lands and peoples of Africa. What has always made the San Francisco Bay Area unique in its collecting patterns is its long-standing interest in cultural diversity or multiculturalism.
Since 1971 when the department of Africa, Oceania and the Americas was founded, the African collection has been systematically developed to its current status. Today the de Young presents an impressive permanent gallery of African art exhibiting over 180 objects that emphasize the richness and diversity of art throughout the African continent, with sculptural primacy and arranged thematically.

Grants Pass Grass Fire Started By Kids Playing With A Lighter
Firefighters in Grants Pass were able to act quickly Tuesday evening in putting out a grass fire in the area of Redwood Avenue and McDonald Lane at around 5:40 p.m. The fire only burned an acre, and no damage done to threatened structures. The blaze was apparently caused by 3 juveniles playing with a lighter.
Representatives from the Grants Pass Department of Public Safety take occasion to remind parents to work with children on the danger of playing with matches and lighters. Often these youngsters are motivated by curiosity rather than malice, but the consequences that stem from such unintentionally set fires can be devastating to life and property.

Have you ever wanted to take a course but felt that you didn't have the time? Do you have a long commute or find yourself in the car a lot? If the answer is yes to both of these questions then browse the library's catalog of Great Courses.
