Red Wine Marinated Flank Steak Filled with Prosciutto, Fontina and Basil with Cabernet-Shallot Reduction
- 4 shallots, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup dry red wine, such as Cabernet
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 pounds flank steak, butterfiled
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 -pound thinly sliced prosciutto
- 1/4 -pound thinly sliced fontina cheese
- 14 fresh basil leaves
- Olive oil
- Cabernet-Shallot Reduction, recipe follows
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Whisk together shallots, wine and olive oil in a large baking dish. Add the steak and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Heat grill to high.
Remove the steak from the marinade and blot with paper towels. Lay on a flat surface, cut side up, and season with salt and pepper. Cover the surface with the prosciutto slices, then top with the cheese and a layer of basil leaves. Starting with the side facing you, tightly roll up the steak around the filling. Using kitchen string, tie the roll in 4 or 5 places.
Brush the outside of the steak with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the steak over high heat until browned all over, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn the steak 4 times as it cooks. Move the meat away from the direct heat and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 125 degrees F for medium-rare. Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Slice against the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices and drizzle with the Cabernet-Shallot Reduction.
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 shallots, finely chopped
1 bottle Cabernet wine
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon honey
Heat oil in a large saucepan on the grates of the grill over high heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft. Add the wine and peppercorns, bring to a boil and cook until thickened and reduced to 1 cup. Strain the mixture into a bowl and season with salt, to taste, and honey.

Wow, there are so many great bass lines. But I'll try to go in chronological order:
1. I saw her standing there - Paul said he "nicked" the bassline from Chuck Berry's I'm talkin bout you. Don't know about that, but this one remains his signature bass-line.
2. All my Loving - I remember watching a film of the Ed Sullivan performance. My younger brother turned to me and asked "Is he playing this live?" He was amazed that Paul could play the walking bass-line while singing at the same time.
3. Paperback writer/Rain: 1966 was about the time that Paul's bass was becoming more prominent in the mixes of their recordings. Both tracks were memorable for their bass lines.
4. Taxman: Paul came up with that swooping bass-line - not to mention the guitar solo. Not a bad day's work.
5. Sgt. Pepper album: Pick your poison. Lucy, Mr. Kite, Day in the life. Paul starting to become the bass master.
6. Something: George always loved this bass line and often referred to it as Paul's best and most melodic.
7. Old Brown Shoe: I guess Paul loved playing bass on the George tracks.
8. I Want You (She's so heavy): Paul really let's loose and the bass really drives the song. A tour-de-force.

Prayers going up
In 1962, John Glenn made history as the first American to orbit the Earth. As the rocket ascended, ground control said, Godspeed, John Glenn. Godspeed comes from the expression, May God prosper you.
Though we dont often hear this word today, the apostle John used it in his second epistle: If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him Godspeed (2 John 1:10 kjv).
John has been referred to as the apostle of love, so why would he warn believers against pronouncing a blessing on others? Traveling evangelists were dependent on the hospitality of Christians to provide them with room and board. John was telling the believers that biblical truth is important. If itinerant missionaries were not preaching doctrine consistent with apostolic teaching, believers were not to bless their work by providing lodging or financial assistance.
This is also true for believers today. We are to treat everyone with kindness because God is kind to us. But when asked to financially support an endeavor, its important to always ask Him for wisdom. The Spirit who guides us into truth (John 16:13) will show us when it is appropriate to bid Godspeed to those we encounter.
Read: 2 John 1:1-11

Hand over heart & prayers up.
The Fourth of July 1826 was a red letter day for America. It was the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died that day at ripe old ages, although thanks to the primitive communications of the era, neither man knew of the others demise. And on that day Stephen Foster was born in Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania, just east of Pittsburgh, as the last surviving infant of a large family.
In an era before widespread public schooling, Stephen received private tutoring and went to private schools in the region. He hated it. But music was the one thing that excited his imagination, and his musical training from a German immigrant was thorough. It was music that led to Stephens avid reading, and he became a literate man by the standards of his era.
Stephen had as his friends sons of some of the best families in Pittsburgh. He founded an all-male club, the Knights of the Square Table, which met in the Foster home, where he acted as a song leader and then composer. His first works came from this little gathering of friends.
In 1844, at the age of 18, Stephen had one of his songs, written for the Knights, published in Philadelphia. Thomas Hampson is one of our great operatic baritones, and he has made a specialty of Fosters music, which is finally being taken seriously.
Having a real tough time posting tonight.
Hope you & the fam have a great weekend.
Aloha Bigs! *Hugs*
Your doing well? Sonboy & wahines all healthy & happy?
Good evening, Publius...((HUGS))...I really enjoy a lot of Stephen Foster's music. Looking forward to listening when I get home.
Good evening Mayor & thank you for our daily inspiration.
Trust you & the family are well & enjoying a restful weekend! *Hugs*
Very interesting subject tonight. I guess we all grew up singing some of his songs in school. :)
Good evening Prof & hope all is well with you this fine Friday! *Hugs*

It's Tunes For Our Troops Time!

Did you have a good Friday? Easy commute? Any more piggie/coyote issues? *HUGS*
Hope you get some resting time this weekend.
Oh! Susanna was a hit, but you never would have known it from the contents of Fosters wallet. He had been burned badly, but he learned two important lessons from the experience: (1) he could write successful songs, and (2) he needed to protect his artistic property.
Foster understood that the minstrel shows of the era were the way to gain an audience for his songs, but he decided to humanize the people in his songs and convey a sense that everyone shared the same needs, free or slave. He told the performers of his songs not to make fun of slaves, but to get their audiences to feel compassion for them. Foster was the reforming figure of the minstrel movement in American entertainment. Some of this came from the fact that Pittsburgh was a center for abolitionism in Pennsylvania, and one of Pittsburghs great abolitionist figures, Charles Shiras, was a boyhood friend of Fosters.

The Robert Shaw Chorale recorded an album of Foster songs in 1958, and it sold well.
At the end of 1849, Foster quit his job in Cincinnati, returned to Pittsburgh, and signed a contract with a New York publisher, beginning his professional life as a songwriter.
Nite, Conor! (((hugs)))
I really like Stephen Foster's Songs.
My students like them too.
I tell them that in Foster's day, there were NO iPads, iPods, Nanos, MP3 Players, cd's, videos, or even Cassettes or RECORDS. Everybody had a piano in the Parlor, and if you wanted to hear a Stephen foster song, you could play it on the piano.
Which meant you HAD to be able to READ Sheet Music!
While almost everybody had a piano in the parlor, almost every family also had someone who could play fiddle. Most churches had someone who could play the pump organ. Most towns had amateur brass bands. Many towns had fiddlers, banjo pickers and others who could play dances. This was a very musical country.
Hi Everybody!
This is one of his most famous tunes. It turned up in countless TV westerns in the Fifties.
You cant help but dance to this one.
This is synonymous with Foster and is a critical part of American song.
A good example of the slow, sentimental songs of the era. Thats Jay Ungar of Ashokan Farewell on fiddle.
Ah! May the Red Rose Live Always!
Dance away!
Simply beautiful!
With successful songs like this under his belt, Foster felt prosperous enough to marry Jane MacDowell in 1850. Their daughter was born a year later.
The syncopation and melodies that Foster employed showed admiration and affection for emerging Black musical forms. During the 1960's, there were those who decried Stephen Foster's songs as racist, but they were not. Even though some of the language seemed pejorative by late Twentieth Century standards, they were NOT racist terms in the early 19th century. Foster's lyrics never mocked or demeaned Black people. The lyrics were mostly about home, family, poverty, nostalgia, elderly people, love, and humor.
I especially like the funny oxymorons in "Oh! Susanna". My students do too. They get the humor, where perhaps their parents do not.
"Political Correctness" can take a lot of joy out of life!
We will encounter quite a bit of the challenge of political correctness in the next few segments.
Hello! :-)
The second problem was financial. Foster, like Irving Berlin a century later, counted every nickel and knew where it went. After having Oh! Susanna pirated out from under him, he took great care to make sure that the royalties from the sales of his sheet music went to his bank account, not somebody elses. That of course assumed the honesty of his publishers in a rough business. He made nothing from performing rights. Foster insisted on his own handwritten contracts with his publishers, and they are the earliest known contracts between publishers and individual songwriters in America.
This tune is best known for Irish tenor John McCormacks 1934 performance. As a student of Schuberts songs, I cant help but notice that the piano accompaniment sounds a lot like his classic song Alinde. That German music teacher was thorough!
Foster: Sweetly She Sleeps, My Alice Fair
Political correctness has kept this one under wraps in the modern era, which is why the melody is often heard, but not the lyrics. Its a great toe-tapper.
Beautiful and contemplative. This is one from the heart.
This is the song with its original, politically incorrect lyrics. It was not a hit during Fosters lifetime, but became popular in the early 20th Century. Its now his most popular tune and the Florida state song.
A fine song, beautifully sung.
This is another one of his plantation songs.
Looks like I am gonna have lots of opportunities for wallerin' this weekend! :) You're doin' good stuff!

Indonesia wins gold in badminton
BEIJING (AP) Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan of Indonesia won the gold medal in men's doubles badminton at the Olympics on Saturday, defeating China's Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng in three sets.
The top-seeded Kido and Setiawan recovered from a shaky start to win 12-21, 21-11, 21-16 over the second-seeded pair at Beijing University of Technology Gymnasium.
It was Indonesia's first gold medal of the games and its second badminton medal on Saturday. Maria Kristin Yulianti won bronze in women's singles earlier.
After Setiawan made a cross-court backhand just out of Cai's reach to win the match, the Indonesians embraced each other before being tackled by their coach.

On September 3, 2013, Secretary of State John Kerry delivered remarks on the situation in Syria before the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. Secretary Kerry said:
"...We're here because against multiple warnings from the President of the United States, from the Congress, from our friends and allies around the world, and even from Russia and Iran, the Assad regime -- and only, undeniably, the Assad regime -- unleashed an outrageous chemical attack against its own citizens. We're here because a dictator and his family's personal enterprise, in their lust to hold onto power, were willing to infect the air of Damascus with a poison that killed innocent mothers and fathers and hundreds of their children, their lives all snuffed out by gas in the early morning August 21."
Secretary Kerry continued, "...We can tell you beyond any reasonable doubt that our evidence proves the Assad regime prepared for this attack, issued instructions to prepare for this attack, warned its own forces to use gas masks. We have physical evidence of where the rockets came from and when. Not one rocket landed in regime-controlled territory. Not one. All of them landed in opposition-controlled or contested territory. We have a map, physical evidence, showing every geographical point of impact -- and that is concrete. Within minutes of the attack -- 90, I think, to be precise, maybe slightly shorter -- the social media exploded with horrific images of the damage that had been caused -- men and women, the elderly and children, sprawled on a hospital floor with no wounds, no blood -- but all dead. Those scenes of human chaos and desperation were not contrived. They were real. No one could contrive such a scene."
The Secretary said, "...We're here because of what happened two weeks ago. But we're also here because of what happened nearly a century ago, in the darkest moments of World War I and after the horror of gas warfare, when the vast majority of the world came together to declare, in no uncertain terms, that chemical weapons crossed a line of conscience and they must be banned from use forever. Over the years that followed, over 180 countries -- including Iran, Iraq, and Russia -- agreed and they joined the Chemical Weapons Convention. Even countries with whom we agree on little agreed on that conviction.
"We need to send to Syria and to the world, to dictators and to terrorists, to allies, and to civilians alike the unmistakable message that when the United States of America and the world say 'Never again,' we don't mean sometimes, we don't mean somewhere. Never means never."

DETROIT -- U.S. safety regulators will investigate problems with stalling or surging engines in nearly 725,000 Ford cars and SUVs.
The probe affects Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner SUVs and Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans from the 2009 through 2011 model years.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the vehicles can unexpectedly go into "limp home mode" at reduced power. The agency and Ford have received almost 1,500 complaints about the problem. There were three crashes and one injury.
The agency began looking into the cars and SUVs after getting a request from the North Carolina Consumers Council last year. Nonprofit safety groups and consumers can petition the agency to investigate vehicle problems.
The cars and SUVs haven't been recalled, but the investigation could lead to a recall.

Two additional enzalutamide abstracts will be presented during
About the PREVAIL Trial
The Phase 3 PREVAIL trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-national trial that enrolled more than 1,700 patients at sites in
Enzalutamide Mechanism of Action
Enzalutamide is an androgen receptor inhibitor that acts on different steps in the androgen receptor signaling pathway. Enzalutamide has been shown to competitively inhibit androgen binding to androgen receptors, and inhibit androgen receptor nuclear translocation and interaction with DNA.
About XTANDI® (enzalutamide) capsules
XTANDI was approved by the
Important Safety Information for XTANDI (from the approved prescribing information)
Contraindications - XTANDI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman based on its mechanism of action. XTANDI is not indicated for use in women. XTANDI is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant.
Warnings and Precautions - In the randomized clinical trial, seizure occurred in 0.9% of patients on XTANDI. No patients on the placebo arm experienced seizure. Patients experiencing a seizure were permanently discontinued from therapy. All seizures resolved. Patients with a history of seizure, taking medications known to decrease the seizure threshold, or with other risk factors for seizure were excluded from the clinical trial. Because of the risk of seizure associated with XTANDI use, patients should be advised of the risk of engaging in any activity where sudden loss of consciousness could cause serious harm to themselves or others.
Adverse Reactions - The most common adverse drug reactions (≥ 5%) reported in patients receiving XTANDI in the randomized clinical trial were asthenia/fatigue, back pain, diarrhea, arthralgia, hot flush, peripheral edema, musculoskeletal pain, headache, upper respiratory infection, muscular weakness, dizziness, insomnia, lower respiratory infection, spinal cord compression and cauda equina syndrome, hematuria, paresthesia, anxiety, and hypertension.
Grade 1-4 neutropenia occurred in 15% of XTANDI patients (1% Grade 3-4) and in 6% on placebo (no Grade 3-4). Grade 1-4 elevations in bilirubin occurred in 3% of XTANDI patients and 2% on placebo. One percent of XTANDI patients compared to 0.3% on placebo died from infections or sepsis. Falls or injuries related to falls occurred in 4.6% of XTANDI patients vs 1.3% on placebo. Falls were not associated with loss of consciousness or seizure. Fall-related injuries were more severe in XTANDI patients and included non-pathologic fractures, joint injuries, and hematomas. Grade 1 or 2 hallucinations occurred in 1.6% of XTANDI patients and 0.3% on placebo, with the majority on opioid-containing medications at the time of the event.
Drug Interactions - Effect of Other Drugs on XTANDI: Administration of strong CYP2C8 inhibitors can increase the plasma exposure to XTANDI. Co-administration of XTANDI with strong CYP2C8 inhibitors should be avoided if possible. If co-administration of XTANDI cannot be avoided, reduce the dose of XTANDI. Co-administration of XTANDI with strong or moderate CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 inducers can alter the plasma exposure of XTANDI and should be avoided if possible.
Effect of XTANDI on Other Drugs: XTANDI is a strong CYP3A4 inducer and a moderate CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 inducer in humans. Avoid CYP3A4, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 substrates with a narrow therapeutic index, as XTANDI may decrease the plasma exposures of these drugs. If XTANDI is co-administered with warfarin (CYP2C9 substrate), conduct additional INR monitoring.

Congratulations on getting the project off the ground. Will it be a pizza only place, or will you serve other items as well?
Do you know the thermal conductivity of the floor tiles you are using?
Wow that looks great! Nice job. I'm curious about the brick as well... from pictures I've seen it looks a lot more like the brick used in the Acunto ovens which is quite a bit different than the firebrick used here in the USA. If you have any information you can share on it, I'd love to know!
That is awesome brother. I can't wait to see and hear more!
Good for you bro! Best of Luck,M
Andre,I am also enjoying your build and look forward to your future posts. Wishing you the best!Norma
Andre,Will this be your pizzeria, as an owner? Either way, best of luck to you. Peter
That's awesome Andre, most larger tiles in the states are medium or high duty which could lead to issues in a low dome oven. Obviously you've got it all covered, can't wait to see where you go from here!

Aime Dunstan is a survivor in more ways than one. She lost her mother at age 12, put herself through journalism school at the University of Florida, graduated at age 20 and moved to the Palm Beach area, where she reported on the social scene for several publications before starting her own business, It! Weddings and Events. Not even cancer got in her way: She was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in July (at age 30) and underwent six months of chemotherapy—while working full time and being a mom to her infant son, Barrett. Aime was declared cancer-free in February and shared her inspiring story at the American Cancer Society's gala.
Words to live by: "Be authentic. Be powerful. Be in love with life." - Aime.
Most influential person in her life: My mother. She was an incredible dreamer. She lived life to the fullest and taught me you can have it all.
Why she started her business: I just fell in love with the idea that I could contribute to the bottom lines of these charities by working behind the scenes and getting the message out through public relations and events.
Her first sign of cancer: I was super itchy everywhere from head to toe. I would wake up in the middle of the night with a hairbrush and scratch myself. This went on for two years.
Her reaction to the diagnosis: Part of me was happy because I finally had an answer. I wasn't crazy. But obviously, when you have cancer, it's a scary thing.
Quote that inspires her: Do unto others as you would have done to you.
Quality she admires most in a person: Integrity.
What she's reading: Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
Local hotspot: I'm obsessed with the juice bar at Amici Market. I'm there almost every day.
Stress reliever: Champagne!
Guilty pleasure: Champagne!
What kept her going through her illness: I was most concerned with giving my son a normal upbringing and proceeding as I would if I didn't have cancer.
Best advice she received: A friend told me to visualize the chemo going through every part of my body and healing me.
Most prized possession: I adore collecting books. Being surrounded by stacks and stacks of them comforts me.
Would want to have dinner with: Condoleezza Rice.
Desert island essentials: Sunblock, Pandora Radio and Curtis Stone.
What she learned from having cancer: You never know how loved you are until you go through an experience like this, when people worry they might lose you.
Title of her autobiography: Bring it on!

I thought it would be a good idea to feature a few articles on the Civil War in Religion & Liberty. I asked Mark Summers, a historian from Virginia to pen something on the topic. I have known Summers for over a decade and I knew that he understood the Acton Institute and Religion & Liberty enough to deliver. He is a first class historian and the ideas for the articles were entirely his own.
The first piece, "The Great Harvest: Revival in the Confederate Army during the Civil War" is a fascinating look at the evangelical revivals that spread through the Confederate ranks. The revivals, and of course the war itself, definitely played a significant role in shaping today's strong religious vibe in the American South. Summers says himself in the piece,
Prior to the American Revolution, New England had been the "Bible Belt" of America, while church attendance in the South was scant. The Second Great Awakening shifted the culture of Dixie, and America as a whole. The revivals took hold in the "backcountry" amongst the yeoman. Southern evangelism reflected the charismatic and independent character of the Appalachian farmers. Southern yeomen declared their independence from the staid faith of the plantation gentry. While planters dominated politics and business, humbler folk shaped the culture of Southern Sundays.
Summers wrote about the Catholic Church and Catholic soldiers in the Fall 2011 R&L. He primarily focused on Catholics in the North and how the Church was unique from American Protestantism with its ability to stay unified despite the horrific conflict. Those who have studied American Protestant history are well aware that many denominations split along sectional lines and many of the divisions we have today resulted or were exacerbated by the Civil War. Summers notes,
Indeed, it was this unity of the Catholic Church which proved unique among American Christianity. While Protestant denominations split over theological and sectional lines, the Catholic Church stood as the only major church which remained united during the war, even if its congregants fought on opposite sides.
These two articles tell powerful stories about faith in this country during its bloodiest, most heartbreaking period. The country had never seen or experienced such a massive slaughter of life. The pieces authored by Summers tell a story about our own American history but they also tell the story that points to the ancient truth, and that is that God is at work redeeming that which is separated, broken, and in despair. In the words of Isaiah:
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. (Isaiah 60:1-3)

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Nov. 22, 2011) – The USA Volleyball Beach Department held its Second Annual Beach CAP (BCAP) Cadre Summit on Nov. 19-20 at their offices in Hermosa Beach, Calif.
Beach cadre members are coaches who will teach people who wish to become certified beach volleyball coaches through USAV's Beach Coaching Accreditation Program (BCAP).
Coaches who attended were Dane Selznick, Anna Collier, Jeff Conover, Tyra Turner, Ashley Ivy and Jon Aharoni along with USAV staff involved in the BCAP program.
John Crawley of the U.S. Olympic Committee made a presentation on International Competitive Analysis and Long Term Athlete Development.
The cadre members are working to update current BCAP I course materials and prepare curricula for introduction of BCAP Level II (debut late 2012) and BCAP Level III (TBD.)
"I've been involved with beach coaching for the past 20 years and this past weekend with the cadre I learned and shared more information than I have in those previous 20 years," USC sand volleyball coach Anna Collier said.
"We have an exceptional cadre of experienced beach coaches spanning the camp and club level, through NCAA sand, to international and Olympic coaching," said Ali Wood Lamberson, USA Volleyball director of beach programs. "This level of fruitful discussion and cohesive planning is helping us create an effective and stimulating beach coaching course."

It was an accident not unheard of for a young combat Veteran.
In June 2008, Omar Bermejo had recently returned from his fourth deployment to Iraq. The then 27 year-old Marine Corps sergeant was racing through life, searching for the familiar rush of fear and adrenaline that had been fueled by bullets and IEDs only months before. He bought a motorcycle with the money he'd received as a bonus for his service.
The curve, the gravel, a sense of invincibility, all caused him to lose control of the bike, he said. He slammed into a guardrail nearly severing his arm between the bike and the metal. Many surgeries later, doctors would amputate his arm at the shoulder.
"The day to forget and the day my life changed," Bermejo said. "It's true when they say that one of the ways to appreciate life to the fullest, is to almost die."
In the aftermath of his changed life he became depressed and hopeless. "I was pretty down after my accident," he said. The once fit Marine says he gained weight and felt out of shape. He decided to use some of his benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and visited a nearby VA Medical Center.
"They were awesome, always letting me know I'm not by myself," he said. "I knew it's not over. My time here is not over yet."
He remembers a visit to a wing of hospitalized Veterans all of them amputees.
"There was this guy who lost his leg above the knee. He was telling me 'Don't give up. Don't cash in. Give it your all.'"
Today, Bermejo is a competitive Nordic skier with hopes of making the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games in biathlon, a combination of cross country skiing and marksmanship. He was one of eight military Veterans on the 11-man U.S. biathlon team at the International Paralympic Committee Nordic Skiing World Cup in Cable, Wis., Jan. 12-20.
The number of Veterans who competed in the event is an example of the joint efforts by the VA and U.S. Paralympics, a division of the United States Olympic Committee, to provide physically disabled Veterans with increased opportunities of activity and wellness.
Through an active recruitment effort, U.S. Paralympic Biathlon Coach Rob Rosser said he makes visits to military and VA Medical Centers year round.
"Most Veterans joined the military because they wanted a challenge, are highly competitive and enjoy physical exertion," he said. "Biathlon combines the most physiologically demanding sport of cross country skiing with a more mentally challenging sport of marksmanship, under stress of high heart rate and the pressure of the clock running as they shoot. Veteran athletes tell me they picked biathlon because it was the most challenging and most similar to their combat job – moving and shooting."
Army Reserves veteran Jeremy Wagner wasn't sure if biathlon was for him when he was first asked to try the sport.
In 2007, after a year in Iraq, he too returned home and suffered a motorcycle accident. The crash injured his spinal cord and he lost the use of his legs.
"After my injury I was just taking it one day at a time," Wagner said. "I did some rehab on my own, but my cousin helped me go to the VA."
The Hawaii native was treated at the Palo Alto VA Medical Center's Spinal Cord Injury Center in California.
"That's where my real road to recovery began," he said. "My therapist in Palo Alto gave me all the necessary tools to get me going again." She also introduced him to the VA's National Veterans Wheelchair Games.
In 2010, while competing in the Games in Denver, Wagner was approached by a Paralympics biathlon coach.
"I guess he saw me doing the slalom event, and he asked me if I'd be interested in biathlon."
Wagner took a chance and gave up the sandy beaches of Hawaii for the snowcaps of the Colorado Rockies. He moved in with his cousin in Colorado where he now trains full-time in biathlon.
His effort has paid off. In June 2012, Wagner was named to the 2012-13 U.S. Paralympics Nordic Skiing National Team. He competed for Team USA at the International Paralympic Committee Nordic Skiing World Championships, Feb. 23-March 5, in Solleftea, Sweden.
"You may think, 'I'll never be at that level,' but you never know until you try," he said. "A lot of us, we want to be good at something right away. When we don't, we give up. But every champion wasn't a champion from the start."
Each athlete on the U.S. world team is an active duty or veteran serviceman: U.S. Navy Lt. Dan Cnossen (Jamestown, Mich.); Eric Frazier (Maple Hill, N.C.), retired Marines; Sean Halsted (Spokane, Wash./Twin Lakes, Idaho), retired Air Force; Andy Soule (Pearland, Texas), retired Army; and Wagner.
Wagner trains at the National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD) in Winter Park, Colo.
In October 2012, NSCD was named one of 97 organizations to receive a grant through the Olympic Opportunity Fund, a partnership between the United States Olympic Committee and VA. The Fund provides grants ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 to organizations that support Paralympic sport and physical activity programs for disabled Veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces.
In its third year, the fund has provided more than $4 million to 223 USOC partner and community programs, and has resulted in thousands of Veterans with physical and visual impairments participating in sport programs.
"The partnership and support from the VA has given hope to numerous Veterans," Rosser said. "As the programs grow and expand, the entire country gains awareness of the positive aspects sport offers our Veterans, and the long-lasting affects it has on their quality of life after the sacrifice they have made for our country."
Wagner also receives a monthly training allowance from the VA. The VA and U.S. Paralympics' collaborative provides a stipend to athletes who meet established eligibility requirements, including training commitment and qualifying competition standards.
"The stipend really helps with purchasing poles, gloves, all of the other equipment that's necessary," he said.
When Kevin Burton arrived at the event in Cable, he was still learning the sport and had yet to qualify for the training stipend.
In 2010, while on active duty in the Navy, he was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative eye disease. The former Arabic linguist had served nine years with the Navy including tours to Iraq and Kuwait when he began losing his eyesight. Before being medically retired, he was treated at the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center's Augusta Blind Rehabilitation Center in Georgia.
"The blind rehab program was amazing," Burton said. "I was really worried about losing my remaining vision, but after going through that, I'm not that worried. I know I can still do pretty much anything."
In March 2012, Burton attended the VA's National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic in Snowmass Village, Colo. It was the first time he'd been on skis since losing his sight.
Like all biathlon athletes, he skis and shoots targets, but being visually impaired he has a guide who skis in front of him and shouts directions during the cross country skiing. When it comes time to shoot the rifle he uses audio cues and the pitch of a tone to zone in on the target.
"You wear headphones to tell you how close you are, and if you are on target," he said. "The normal shooting advice doesn't apply to the visually impaired. It's strictly distance from the center."
Despite his newcomer status, Burton went on to win a silver medal in Cable and his finishing time was good enough to earn him the VA training stipend.
"A lot of my success is because of the support I've been given from day one," he said. "But I've still got to work hard and keep improving."
Bermejo agreed. He also qualified for the training allowance during the event.
"Know if you put in the work and have positive thoughts, good things will happen," he said. "The opportunities are there, but in the end, if you want something you will go get it."

Syllabus for SOC-315
Social Gerontology provides an understanding of the processes of aging. It discusses the concept of old age as a stage of life, covering issues such as optimal quality of life, cross-cultural considerations, and access to resources. The course also deals with the impact of aging on society.
After completing this course, you should be able to:
You will need the following materials to do the work of the course. The required textbook is available from the College's textbook supplier, MBS Direct.
Required Textbook
Hooyman, N. R., & Kiyak, H. A. (2011).Social gerontology: A multidisciplinary perspective, 9th ed., Boston: Pearson Allyn & Bacon
Social Gerontology is a three-credit online course consisting of ten (10) modules. Modules include learning objectives, study materials, and activities.
For your formal work in the course, you are required to participate in online discussion forums, complete written assignments, take a proctored midterm and final examination. See below for more details.
Consult the course Calendar for due dates.
In addition to an ungraded "Introductions" forum, Social Gerontology requires you to participate in six graded class discussions.
Communication with the mentor and among fellow students is a critical component of online learning. Participation in online discussions involves two distinct activities: an initial response to a posted question (discussion thread) and subsequent comments on classmates' responses.
You will be evaluated both on the quality of your responses (i.e., your understanding of readings, concepts, and ideas as demonstrated by well-articulated, critical thinking) and quantity of your participation (i.e., the number of times you participate meaningfully in the assigned forums). Responses and comments should be properly proofread and edited, professional, and respectful.
You are required to complete six (6) written assignments. The written assignments are on a variety of topics associated with the course modules.
The written assignments are the primary means for you to express yourself verbally, controlling content and meaning. Due dates for each assignment are listed in the Calendar area of the course Web site.
Prepare your written assignments using whatever word processing program you have on your computer. Include your name at the top of the paper, as well as the course name and code and the semester and year in which you are enrolled.
Before submitting your first assignment, check with your mentor to determine whether your word processing software is compatible with your mentor's software. If so, you can submit your work as you prepared it. If not, save your assignment as a rich-text (.rtf) file, using the Save As command of your software program. Rich text retains basic formatting and can be read by any other word processing program.
You are required to take two (2) proctored online examinations: a midterm exam and a final exam. Both exams require that you use the College's Online Proctor Service (OPS). Please refer to the "Examinations and Proctors" section of the Online Student Handbook (see General Information area of the course Web site) for further information about scheduling and taking online exams and for all exam policies and procedures. You are strongly advised to schedule your exam within the first week of the semester.
Online exams are administered through the course Web site. Consult the course Calendar for the official dates of exam weeks.
Midterm Exam
The midterm is a closed-book, proctored online exam. It is two hours long and covers material in Modules 1 through 5. It consists of essay questions that are similar but not identical to the ones found in the written assignments.
Final Exam
You are required to take a closed-book, proctored online final examination. It is two hours long and covers all reading and assignments from Modules 6 through 10 of the course. It consists of essay questions.
Statement about Cheating
You are on your honor not to cheat during an exam. Cheating means:
If there is evidence that you have cheated or plagiarized in an exam, the exam will be declared invalid, and you will fail the course.
Your grade in the course will be determined as follows:
All activities will receive a numerical grade of 0–100. You will receive a score of 0 for any work not submitted. Your final grade in the course will be a letter grade. Letter grade equivalents for numerical grades are as follows:
Below 60
To receive credit for the course, you must earn a letter grade of C or better (for an area of study course) or D or better (for a nonarea of study course), based on the weighted average of all assigned course work (e.g., exams, assignments, discussion postings, etc.).
First Steps to Success
To succeed in this course, take the following first steps:
Study Tips
Consider the following study tips for success:
Students at Thomas Edison State College are expected to exhibit the highest level of academic citizenship. In particular, students are expected to read and follow all policies, procedures, and program information guidelines contained in publications; pursue their learning goals with honesty and integrity; demonstrate that they are progressing satisfactorily and in a timely fashion by meeting course deadlines and following outlined procedures; observe a code of mutual respect in dealing with mentors, staff, and other students; behave in a manner consistent with the standards and codes of the profession in which they are practicing; keep official records updated regarding changes in name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address; and meet financial obligations in a timely manner. Students not practicing good academic citizenship may be subject to disciplinary action including suspension, dismissal, or financial holds on records.
Academic Dishonesty
Thomas Edison State College expects all of its students to approach their education with academic integrity—the pursuit of scholarly activity free from fraud and deception. All mentors and administrative staff members at the College insist on strict standards of academic honesty in all courses. Academic dishonesty undermines this objective. Academic dishonesty can take the following forms:
Please refer to the Academic Code of Conduct Policy in the College Catalog and online at www.tesc.edu.
Using someone else's work as your own is plagiarism. Thomas Edison State College takes a strong stance against plagiarism, and students found to be plagiarizing will be severely penalized. If you copy phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or whole documents word-for-word—or if you paraphrase by changing a word here and there—without identifying the author, or without identifying it as a direct quote, then you are plagiarizing. Please keep in mind that this type of identification applies to Internet sources as well as to print-based sources. Copying and pasting from the Internet, without using quotation marks and without acknowledging sources, constitutes plagiarism. (For information about how to cite Internet sources, see Online Student Handbook > Academic Standards > "Citing Sources.")
Accidentally copying the words and ideas of another writer does not excuse the charge of plagiarism. It is easy to jot down notes and ideas from many sources and then write your own paper without knowing which words are your own and which are someone else's. It is more difficult to keep track of each and every source. However, the conscientious writer who wishes to avoid plagiarizing never fails to keep careful track of sources.
Always be aware that if you write without acknowledging the sources of your ideas, you run the risk of being charged with plagiarism.
Clearly, plagiarism, no matter the degree of intent to deceive, defeats the purpose of education. If you plagiarize deliberately, you are not educating yourself, and you are wasting your time on courses meant to improve your skills. If you plagiarize through carelessness, you are deceiving yourself.

Writing Assistance at Smarthinking
Originality Report Checking at Turnitin
Disciplinary Process
First-time incidents of academic dishonesty concerning plagiarism may reflect ignorance of appropriate citation requirements. Mentors will make a good faith effort to address all first-time offenses that occur in courses. In these cases, the mentor may impose sanctions that serve as a learning exercise for the offender. These may include the completion of tutorials, assignment rewrites, or any other reasonable learning tool including a lower grade when appropriate. The mentor will notify the student by e-mail. Decisions about the sanctions applied for subsequent plagiarism offenses or other violations will be made by the appropriate dean's office, with the advice of the mentor or staff person who reported the violation. The student will be notified via certified mail of the decision. Options for sanctions include:

I've found that exchanging ideas and asking questions, even with people some might consider to be direct competitors, is more valuable than risky. Enter…
Upstarta.biz is the home of a group of people who run, or are interested in running, their business according to a set of Principles that make them more people friendly (both to clients and self), resilient to recessions, (potentially) better for the environment, and more. A buzzword compliant mission statement could be something like "Business strategy incubation through co-mentoring".
While being particularly suited to on-line, ICT and Open Source related endeavours, it is by no means limited to that. In addition, the guidelines also apply well to non-profits and other organisations.
The group's monthly membership fee is currently set at a nomimal AUD 5, sufficient to cover cost and creating a sense of commitment that a gratis service would not have. When you think about it, that's cheaper per year than many static books! Members actively participate by contributing on the wiki (like a dynamic book) and mailing list, mentoring fellow members, and (where possible) attending live meetings for face-to-face interaction.

Here is the law: http://www.fornobravo.com/vera_pizza_napoletana/VPN_spec.htmlBe careful what you do. I hear the VPN police are really cracking down on law breakers lately, and the sentences are pretty stiff with large fines and long prison terms.
I partly wish this were true. I went to a "VPN" place last week where I got dry mozzarella, truly tasteless tomatoes and no basil on my margherita. But hey they had Caputo and a WFO.
Yes, he's pretty famous and you can find plenty of YouTube videos of him at work. I'll bet his place was packed?
I make a quasi-Napoli type (Caputo Pizzeria flour) for delivery in the Kanto area. Of course, I can't follow VPN rules...
Here's an example of what I do. Since you're in Japan you'll understand, but everyone else will laugh and think it's grotesque . . . It isn't great pizza , but it's passable.1. Teriyaki Chicken, mozzarella, gouda, onions, mushrooms, corn, Japanese mayonnaise (which is not the same as mayonnaise in the west, so don't expect western mayonnaise taste as good when cooked), parsley and a secret seasoning.2. Garlic shrimp over pesto base, mozzarella, onions, olives and eye-watering black pepper.
I don't mind helping you, but maybe we can move this to Skype? The list of things to consider is pretty long and it would be more efficient.I'll send you a PM with my Skype name.

Thursday, 11 October, 2012 | 11:00 AM - 03:00 PM
September 28 - October 27, 2012
Arrangement for a Silent Orchestra is a painting and video project which explores the gradual dissolution of culture in contemporary society through the symbolic ruin of a personal and cultural icon, the violin. Using the violin as a metaphor, the artist intends to raise questions about the relationship between increasing technology and diminishing cultural heritage.
Julie Comnick received her MFA in Painting from Montana State University in 2001 and her BA from The Evergreen State College in 1995. Her paintings and drawings have been exhibited in solo exhibitions nationally including Space Gallery, Denver, CO; The Gallery at Flashpoint, Washington, DC; Zg Gallery, Chicago IL; and Creative Arts Workshop, New Haven, CT. Her work has been featured in publications including the Washington Post, New American Paintings, Dialogue Magazine, and the Chicago Sun Times. She received an Artist Projects Grant from the Arizona Commission on the Arts in 2007.
Julie lives in Prescott, Arizona, where she is a member of the Arts and Letters faculty at Prescott College and teaches Studio Arts courses in painting, drawing, public art and critical theory. She has also worked as an exhibits preparator and art conservator in Chicago, IL, and co-founded a cooperative gallery in Seattle, WA. She has traveled extensively in Spain, Mexico and Portugal. Outside the studio, Julie enjoys exploring the wilderness with her husband and three-year-old son. www.juliecomnick.com

It is called "bitter nail" too.
Tried it yesterday. It smells like - yes for me it just stinks. And it tasted awful. Seems to be very healthy. But is not meant for me I think.
Who did try it before?

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 207 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by BAHG Only Way to Travel If he has 3 pair of these you are set! We have traveled for over a month at a time and wash a pair every night. The brief dries in less than 8 hours and the fit is great (true to size). Excellent product, even if the cost is a bit high, worth it! March 26, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by COR1 Super Shorts I have been wearing these undershorts for years. I find them to be the most comfortable and long lasting that I have ever worn. On trips fewer pair need be carried (which is a real space saver) because when washed they dry completely in a few hours. While not inexpensive, they are well worth the price. March 26, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by jbzz quite possibly the best briefs made great fit, perfect for travel. i plan to buy more when on sale again. March 28, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Socal Great brief Second set, great for travel. Size runs slightly smaller than rated. April 9, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jilly Excellent product Extremely comfortable. Fit was true to size. Dried overnight, so ready to go in the morning. Two pair could take you on a long trip and save lots of room in the baggage. A little pricey, but worth the money. April 16, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Djmski Great purchase The toughest part about all the quick dry briefs I've purchased is fit. They've either been too tight or too loose. These are a great fit, easy to wash and quick to dry. Pricey, but got em' on sale. April 23, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michael Great Briefs The fit of the ExOfficio briefs is excellent. The waist band is confortable and the body provides support yet confort. Have tried similar products and this is the BEST. April 25, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by lanaweez Awesome product This is definitely a 5 star product! The quality is excellent! So are the colors and the fit! Not to mention that they dry in hours if you roll them in a towel. The bonus with this order is that we purchased them on sale. April 26, 2010

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (593 votes).
In short: You've got to do it !!!In full: Judging by the finishing times of the first runners back there must have been some serious runners in this race. But, in the main, everybodybody who I bumped into was there to have a "fun" time. Never before have I queued for 20 minutes to take a 10 minute walk in a ditch. I'm doing it again next year, make sure you do too :-DDate of review: November 14, 2005
In short: Very muddy and much fun, but bottlenecks hinder progress and PB!In full: They must remove the ditch section near the start next year. Over 1,000 runners funnelling into single file meant at least a 20 minute delay for most.Date of review: November 14, 2005
In short: you don't have to be mad to run this but it helps..Date of review: November 13, 2005
In short: A mix of incredible fun and moderate chaosIn full: Most of us didn't know that the race had started and I felt that 10 minutes thigh deep in a ditch full of slurry watching hundreds take an unauthorized short cut wre the down sides. The glorious wather and the psychotic route planning more than made up for it once I had decided that this wasn't a race but an experience !Date of review: November 13, 2005
In short: Fantastic 1st multi terrainIn full: Was worried at the start (everyone looked fitter, better prepared and more confident than myself) however i need not have worried it was a great experience. The marshalls were friendly and encouraging.Will deffinately return for more of the same next year. Date of review: November 13, 2005
In short: Women pay to bathe in this stuff apparently!!In full: What a great laugh. Mud, sweat and beers!Only down point was the wait at the first ditch. 2 min silence was good at start. I'll be back next yearDate of review: November 13, 2005
In short: really good funDate of review: November 13, 2005
In short: it doesn't get much better than this. muddy fields, muddy water and beautiful sunshine.In full: A bit of a quick start, not everyone was out of the school gates before the the horn blew.Quite a big bottle neck along the stream to the step up into the lane(a couple of miles in) but apart from that it was an excellent race, many thanks.Date of review: November 13, 2005
In short: Very good as usual. Water wetter, mud mudder than ever.In full: This is a regular in my calendar due to the atmosphere on Remembrance Day. The gridlock at the first ditch was frustrating but did not distract from a great day out.Date of review: November 13, 2005
In short: Simply putting it...............Awesome!! lots and lots and lots of fun. Loads of variety mud, water, bales.In full: As a note to the organisation; everything fine except the quing in the stream took quite a while, with many a impatient person climbing fences etc.Date of review: November 13, 2005

Neither Obama nor Romney? Some Christians vote for 'None of the Above'
(RNS) Is it a sin not to vote? Or a virtue? Some disappointed Christians on both sides of the aisle — especially evangelicals and Catholics — are advocating the merits of boycotting the ballot box on Nov. 6. By David Gibson.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Sociable and fastIn full: This is a good event, fast course and sociable before during and after the race.The only criticism I have is about the finish line. I crossed what I thought was the finish line, because it had large flags either side of the path saying 'FINISH', when in fact the actual finish line was 10 - 15 metres further on. That mistake cost me 3rd place lady.I saw a couple of other runners make that mistake too.Date of review: November 27, 2012
In short: I ran it in 2009 to pace a friend to a PB, and I ran it this year just because I needed a qualifying time for my Comrades entry. The laps were tedious. Nothing special for me.Date of review: January 25, 2010
In short: I ran the ultra and cannot fault it. I hope it becomes a permanent fixture in the race calendar!Date of review: May 11, 2009
In short: It could be a nice race if they learn from their mistakes of the last two years.In full: The mile/km markers were of absolutely no use at all.The wrist bands didn't work, and were not easy to remove while running.Thank you to the marshals who were efficient where they were placed, but there were other places where they were needed also.Putting on a race can be a thankless task sometimes but if there are issues with race results I for one would prefer organisers to say that the results will be available the next day, and get them accurate, rather than try to do them on the day and get them completely wrong.For me it was just a 26.2 mile training run rather than a target race but for others these issues could have really spoiled the race that they had spent a long time training for.Date of review: January 26, 2009
In short: A lovely race, very well organised and extremely well marshalledDate of review: June 9, 2008
In short: nice race, course a tad short thoughIn full: Great to run a fast half marathon on good surface and away from trafficMy Garmin had the course at 12.88 miles, others had 12.9 and 12.92 so the course was definitely a little short...so if you get a PB it's debateable if you count it or not ;)Date of review: March 2, 2008
In short: Great race, but to capacity I thinkIn full: Nice course, first half a little undulating, second half flat which gives PB opportunities if you take the first half steady.Marshals were great, very efficient and helpful.Water bottles handed out on the course were of a more economical size, much better than the usual size of which most is usually wasted.The support around the course was fantastic.Now the negatives... some parts of the course were a bit narrow, forcing you to slow right down almost to walking. I don't think this race could take any more runners, it would just be too crowded.You had the option of paying £1 extra for a framed lace panel, which I did and am very pleased with because I have so many medals and it was something different. But it was supposed to be either panel or medal I believe and some runners were taking both, which meant that they'd run out of both for the later marathoners (and half marathoners I believe too). Going home without something to show for your achievement is not nice.I enjoyed the race immensly though and took 10 minutes off my marathon PB :)Date of review: September 12, 2005
In short: As Ultra go this is one of the best IMHOIn full: This was a great event...everything was thought of from well stocked and frequent drink stations, very helpful marshals, good back-up support at the lap start/finish area with plenty of free food as well as drink, plus a back-up car constantly cruising the course with cups of ice!8 x 6.5(ish) mile laps meant we were never far from base and there was the option of pulling out after 30 or 40 miles and still receive a medal.The full distance of 52.4 miles was as tough as it sounds but having completed it, the sense of achievement and recognition from the organisers was well worth the blood, sweat and tears!Date of review: July 18, 2005
In short: I went there for old times sake and came away with a PB!In full: I ran the first ever Mansfield Half and went back on it's 25th Anniversary this year to have another look. It was so heartening to see how this race has grown and matured into something quite special.Race HQ was easy to find, there was plenty of free parking, there were loads of keen young runners ready to take part in the fun run and there was a real friendly atmosphere.The course has changed over the years and was a lot less tough than it was in '81, but still quite challenging.There were plenty of happy smiling marshals, lots of water and good support around the course.At the end we got a goody bag, T shirt, mug and commemorative 25th Anniversary photo.The post-race facilities were excellent with the use of the leisure centre showers.And to top it off I had a great race and took over 4 minutes off my previous (2 year old) PB, finishing in 1.42.28 :)Date of review: July 5, 2005
In short: A really enjoyable race!In full: Slight course change from when I did it last in 2003, which is an improvement.Yes there are hills...well, more like undulations really...but then I have run Dartmoor with real hills! But the ups are quite short and the down bits compensate, so you don't really need to struggle in this course.Running 2 laps between Torquay and Paignton on the same side of the road as those in front/behind you is actually quite fun, especially if you have club mates or friends in the race too, because you get to see them a few times.I'll definitely do this one again.Date of review: June 27, 2005

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (59 votes).
In short: Good quick course, only held up by a couple of u-turns. KM markers could have been clearer, but overall was a thoroughly enjoyable race. Thanks to all involved.Date of review: September 28, 2008
In short: Nice quick run round the park - shame about the u-turnsDate of review: September 28, 2008
In short: The course has been slightly modified from last year, and has made this run alot better! Still a shame that we still have to run round marshalls a few times to make up the distance, but overall another well organised run! Date of review: September 28, 2008
In short: A good, well organised run - better weather next year?Date of review: April 20, 2008
In short: quick run around the park!Date of review: October 15, 2007
In short: First 10k race - absolutely great and will definitely be there next yearDate of review: October 9, 2007
In short: Well organised, contained race - good fun In full: Agree with other comments to date. I was hoping for a decent PB after 2006 race but the section out of the park, the running round the marshalls and the two way narrow stretch put pay to this. However, with a little modification this course could be really special - the park setting is fabulous, the organisation excellent and the atmosphere good - just need to curb the enthusiasm of the dogs being walked on route! Date of review: October 3, 2007
In short: Course not suitable for faster runners. Too many turns, pedestrians, dogs, obstacles etcsIn full: A 3 lap course within park would have been much better.Date of review: October 1, 2007
In short: Friendly and flat - but too many twists and turns for a PBIn full: The course runs through the park and whilst flat, has too many gates/ posts/ narrow passing places with runners coming the other way to make this a PB course - which is a shame as it could perhaps be 3 laps of the park rather than 2 and avoid the out and back sections where you have to almost stop to go around a marshall, but of course this would also be difficult as it would result in lapped runners etc. Great T shirt and goody bag and nice friendly atmosphere and well worth doing though! Cheers to the organisersDate of review: October 1, 2007
In short: A very well organised event....just a couple of gripes....the bridge and very narrow track, surely an alternative can be found within cannon hill park!! Also, someone in the main car park or even signs to point the way to the start. Date of review: September 30, 2007
