Don't throw away that limp celery! Do your part for Earth Day by reducing kitchen waste, and make some soup. Happy Earth Day AND Recipe ReDux friends! In honor of earth day, this month's Recipe ReDux post is all about ways to reduce food waste. While I was thinking about what to write about for this post, I sadly realized that I kind of, sort of, might be guilty of wasting some food. And I'm pretty sure I'm not alone. According to Grace Communications Foundation, which works to increase awareness of many different food, health and environmental issues, we in the U.S. throw away about 40% of our food supply every year. Wow. I hope I'm not that bad – I don't think I am, but that statistic really made me pause. I'm not so bad with bread (I don't buy that much, and I usually make breadcrumbs or croutons), or dairy foods (I'm addicted to lattes and Greek yogurt so it goes fast, and my friends are always happy to finish off any cheese as long as there's wine), but produce – that's an issue for me. I so often buy things that look so pretty in the market, and I almost always have a good plan for it, but like most of you, I'm guessing, the day, and then the week, gets away from me. Before I know it, there's moldy herbs, limp celery, squishy avocados, and hairy carrots at the back of the produce drawer. Sound familiar? I love this graphic about creative ways to use up some of that produce that frequently goes to waste. After looking at all of these great ideas, I was inspired to use up the limp celery and almost too ripe avocado that was hiding in my fridge. This week I happened to buy leeks because they just looked so springy, and an English cucumber, because it's just something I buy each week. So much green in my refrigerator! This chilled soup tastes like a big, fresh salad, that you can slurp up with a spoon. PrintCool Cucumber Celery and Avocado Soup {Recipe ReDux} Prep Time: 20 minutes Yield: 4 servings Ingredients2 tablespoons olive oil 1 leek (light green part only), washed wall and sliced thin 3 celery stalks, diced 2 cloves of garlic, minced 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock 1 unpeeled English or seedless cucumber 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped 1 avocado, diced 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional)InstructionsHeat the olive oil in a medium-size pot on medium-high heat, and add the leeks, celery and garlic. Saute the vegetables until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken or vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are soft. Chill the soup well, and then transfer it to a blender. Add about half of the cucumber and cilantro and blend well to combine. Add half of the avocado and Greek yogurt if using, and blend again until the soup is smooth. Stir in the additional diced cucumber, cilantro and avocado and serve immediately.3.1http://cravingsomethinghealthy.com/cool-cucumber-celery-avocado-soup/cravingsomethingthinghealthy.com Happy Earth Day friends!

The creamy avocado dressing with fresh lemon and tarragon makes this egg-topped salad a springtime favorite. Is anyone else out there craving something vegetable-y and healthy that's NOT soup? Spring has definitely arrived here in Arizona. The desert is in full bloom, everyone is sneezing like crazy, and we've got temps in the 80s, and even low 90s, which means it's time to pack away the stock pot, 'cause it's salad weather! It's a good thing I like salads, because I eat them A LOT. For most of the year, in fact. My biggest challenge is how to keep them interesting. Even though I love to cook, I admit I can be a bit lazy when it comes to making dinner night after night, especially when it gets hot, so I really love to make salads that double as a complete meal. No side dish salads around here. To make it as a staple in my kitchen, they have to provide a good dose of veggies, a bit of whole grain or maybe some beans, a serving of protein, and some healthy fat – in every bite. I'm currently crushing on this delicious spring salad. It's super simple to make, and pretty enough to serve to company for Easter or a spring brunch. It's perfect exactly as is for a light meal, or top it with a piece of grilled salmon if you've got a bigger appetite. Have you ever used avocado as a salad dressing? It provides an AMAZINGLY rich and creamy texture, and it boosts the nutrients in this salad even more. Plus – hello, lemon and tarragon – who knew you were so delicious with avocados? Oh, and if you do serve it topped with a piece of salmon, be sure to slather some more of this dressing on it. Yes. Please. More. Thank you. PrintSpring Egg and Chickpea Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing Prep Time: 30 minutes Yield: 2 servings IngredientsSalad 3 hard boiled eggs 4 cups mixed baby greens 1 15-oz can chickpeas drained and rinsed 8 radishes, sliced thin 1/2 large seedless cucumber peeled and sliced thin Dressing 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup white wine vinegar 1/4 cup olive oil extra virgin 1 avocado 1/2 tsp sea salt 1 tsp tarragon 1 scallion water (to thin) InstructionsPeel and slice the hard-boiled eggs. Set aside. Combine the greens, chickpeas, radishes and cucumber in a large bowl. Toss lightly to combine. For the dressing, combine all ingredients except for the water in a blender, and puree until smooth. Add water to thin the dressing to the desired consistency. Adjust seasonings to taste. To serve, portion the mixed salad onto 2 plates, and top with egg slices. Drizzle with dressing. NotesAny leftover dressing will keep for up to 3 days in a jar in the refrigerator. It makes a delicious vegetable dip too!3.1http://cravingsomethinghealthy.com/spring-egg-chickpea-salad-creamy-avocado-dressing/cravingsomethingthinghealthy.com Are you still in soup-season?

Who doesn't have a spare can of tuna in the pantry? These super-creative and easy recipes that feature canned tuna are proof that it's not just for sandwiches anymore! This post was created as part of an ad campaign for Starkist Tuna, but all opinions are my own. I'll just bet you have a can or two of tuna in your pantry right now. Am I right? Are you a light tuna in oil kind of person, or a chunk white tuna all of the time cause it tastes like chicken gal – or guy? I could actually go either way, depending on the use. I have absolutely no research on this, but I'm gonna guess that canned tuna is perhaps the world's most favorite go-to protein whether you're on a budget, need something healthy, filling and substantial, or you just can't think of what to make or eat. Tuna is an awesome source of protein (a 5- ounce can has a good 20 grams), as well as those heart and brain-healthy omega-3 fats. As we probably all know, canned tuna has a nice long shelf life, so it's great to keep on hand for when you need a healthy fish meal, but don't have time to run to the fish counter. And canned tuna isn't just for sandwiches or tuna noodle casserole people – as these recipes from some of my favorite food bloggers clearly prove!

Let's celebrate spring and dive into this Superfoods Smoothie Bowl that's full of berries, ginger, and basil. Thank you Dorot for sponsoring this post! I was compensated for this post, but I do love this product, and as always, all opinions are my own. Aren't you so ready for spring? The birds, the flowers, the smell of fresh mulch and mowed grass, the gorgeous, fresh, colorful fruits and veggies!! I'm so happy it's here – and if you're in one of those places where there's still some snow on the ground, don't worry – it's on its way! Spring is such a perfect time to clear out that comfort food (which always seems like it's beige), and bring in lots of bright, beautiful superfoods – especially berries. Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, even goji berries are some of the healthiest fruits you can eat because they're so jam-packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. You can tell by their colors. Those beautiful reds, blues and purples come from compounds called anthocyanins, and they're especially good for eye, heart and brain health as we age. I'm a big believer in starting out the day on a nutritious note, and I love this gorgeous smoothie bowl which is full of berries, kefir – and a fresh surprise flavor of spring from some basil and ginger. If spring fruit and herbs aren't quite making an appearance where you live, don't worry – that's what the freezer section is for. In fact, frozen berries and herbs actually work better in this smoothie bowl, because they make it so very thick, frosty and delicious. Wait, I know you're thinking – frozen berries, yes, but frozen herbs?? Yes, as in Dorot frozen herbs! They're the smart cook's secret ingredient, and you'll find them in your store's freezer section. I get them at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. They're SUPER convenient, pre-portioned, and all-natural. Please run out right now and stock up on them. I especially love to keep the basil, ginger, garlic, and cilantro in the freezer, because those are the ones that never seem to last when I buy them fresh. The wonderful folks at Dorot grow their own herbs, and freeze them into pre-portioned cubes. All you have to do is pop out the number that you need, and you're good to go. No washing, peeling or chopping involved. I LOVE the fresh, springy flavor that the basil and ginger gives brings to the berries. Blend them up with some kefir (another one of my favorite superfoods for it's probiotics), and oats and you've got a superfoods party in a bowl. #ad Celebrate #Spring with a #Superfoods Smoothie Bowl made with @MyDorot #herbs:… Click To Tweet This smoothie bowl is great for breakfast, but doesn't it also look kind of delicious for a snack?

The 2017 list of the Dirty Dozen is out. Should we be giving up strawberries and spinach, or buying organic? One of the questions I'm most frequently asked is whether it's worth the extra money to buy organic food. I've written about this in the past, and since the Environmental Working Group just recently published their annual list of the Dirty Dozen and the Clean 15, it seems like a good time for a recap. In case you're not familiar, The Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 are lists of the top fruits and vegetables with the highest, and lowest amounts of detectable pesticide residues. This year, strawberries and spinach took the top spots. Some strawberry samples tested contained 21 different types of chemicals (including pesticides, fungicides, insecticides) many of which are linked to cancer, reproductive and developmental damage, hormone disruption and neurological problems. The test results on spinach found similar results – 16 types of chemicals were found in some batches. Seventy-five percent of the samples contained residues of the insecticide permethrin. At high doses, permethrin overwhelms the nervous system and causes tremors and seizures. In one study, children with detectable levels of permethrin in their urine were twice as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD. SO what should you do? First, don't stop eating fruits and vegetables! SO many studies confirm that eating more helps keep you healthier, It lowers your risk of multiple types of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, helps you to maintain a healthier weight, healthier gut, better cognitive skills and you'll have less risk of Alzheimer's disease … And so on. IF you can afford to buy organic, definitely do it. Not only will you be skipping out on the toxic chemicals, but you'll also be doing something good for the environment and future generations, because organic farming methods favor sustainability. If you have to be selective, and can only buy organic some of the time (or if organic isn't always available), follow the Dirty Dozen/Clean 15 list, and buy the Clean 15 as non-organic, and the top of the Dirty Dozen list organic. IF you can't afford organic, don't sweat it. Keep eating fruits and veggies because the benefits far outweigh the risks. It's also important to get as much variety in your diet as possible. Eating non-organic strawberries and spinach once or twice each month is probably not a huge deal, but eating them every day or several times each day dramatically increases your exposure to pesticides and harmful chemicals. Consider buying #organic for #DirtyDozen, but no matter which kind you buy, the benefits of eating more… Click To Tweet As you can see from the above list, there are still lots of great options on the Clean 15 list – base your fruit and vegetable choices around these, as much as possible. Another option that I find less expensive than buying organic fresh strawberries and other fruits is to keep bags of frozen fruit on hand. It works just as well in a smoothie, on dessert, in yogurt or in oatmeal. Finally, it's always recommended that you wash produce well before eating it, but be aware the the tests done on all of the produce were done as the fruit would be eaten – that means, washed, and...read more
Celebrate National Nutrition Month and join us at Lightwell Health to learn how to Put Your Best Fork Forward! This post is sponsored by Lightwell Health. I am a paid member of the company, but I was not compensated to write this post. I think for many of us, March is the month when we think about change. The clocks. The weather. Our winter to spring wardrobe. It's also a perfect month to change up our diet. To put aside those heavier comfort foods and bring on the colorful, lighter and healthier fare that's just starting to pop up in the produce department. So, it's kind of fitting that March is also National Nutrition Month – a time that I like to remind everyone healthy eating can mean different things to different people, and there is no right or wrong when it comes to eating, or any one-size-fits-all diet. If you've never done so (or if you feel the need for a tune-up), it's also a great time to work with a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) to learn some nutrition basics that will help keep you young and aging gracefully, to learn how to make the most of the foods you like, and hopefully, to inspire you to try a few new foods and change up the way you think about food.SO… speaking of working with an RDN, I've been dying to share some details about a project I've been involved with for the past few months, and National Nutrition Month seems like the perfect time! I'm working with a brand-new company called Lightwell Health, and we're focused on bringing women who are in the prime of our lives together, to be well, eat well, and live well. It's an interactive community that's part health media, with interesting topics on nutrition, weight management, women's health issues, stress reduction, sleep problems – really, anything and everything that we each experience as we mature. Lightwell also offers a group healthy eating program, called Eat Well, Live Well, which is run by registered dietitians (including me!), and designed to teach, challenge, and motivate you to tune into your body and learn how to nourish it, by replacing the foods that are preventing you from being your healthiest self, with new ones that will make you thrive from today forward. The first Lightwell Eat Well, Live Well program will start April 3, and after a week of helping to get you ready, we'll dive into a 3-week program which features educational and informational videos, lots of information about the various steps you can take to make positive changes in your diet, and tools to help you move forward. We'll have lots of recipes for you to choose from, meal planning and grocery shopping tools, and most importantly, an interactive community of women just like you, who are interested in taking charge of their health. We'll chat weekly via phone, or if you like, daily via email or a private Facebook group and share struggles, successes, tips, and encouragement. #ad It's easier to be in the #CleanPlateClub when you learn from a pro & have support.

This Skinny, Low Carb Shepherd's Pie is perfect for when the weather calls for comfort food, but the calendar's heading toward spring! It seems like no matter where in the country you live, the winter of 2017 has been full of crazy, wonky weather. We've gone from torrential rain in drought-stricken California, to blizzard conditions followed by 70 degrees in New England. Is it el niño, or la niña or a definite case of global warming? One thing is certain – it makes for some meal planning confusion! One minute I'm craving soups, stews and comfort food, and the next minute I'm firing up the grill and craving corn on the cob. Since it is almost March, I'm feeling like we should start to lighten things up a bit, because shorts season will be her before we know it! For me, that means more veggies, leaner proteins, and fewer carbs. This Skinny version of Shepherd's pie is a perfect blend of warm comfort food, but I've lightened it up with turkey instead of hamburger, and I've skipped the corn and subbed in some chopped apple and pecan. It tastes like Thanksgiving food, but it's light enough for springtime. Traditional shepherd's pie is full of carbs from the mashed potato topping, so I said g'bye to that and used mashed parsnips instead. Parsnips are one of those root vegetables I love, but I always forget about. I love them roasted along with carrots, but I also adore them mashed up with some butter and just a drop of cream or milk. Creamy, dreamy low carb comfort food. Here's a fun fact about me: I never knew Shepherd's Pie was a real thing. I always thought it was a crazy concoction my husband dreamed up. PrintSkinny Low Carb Shepherd's Pie Prep Time: 30 minutesCook Time: 5 minutes Yield: 4 -6 servings Ingredients1 pound parsnips, peeled and cut into 1- inch pieces 1 cup chicken stock plus 1 cup water 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 2 tablespoons low fat milk 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 small onion, diced 1 pound ground turkey breast 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning 1/2 cup chopped pecans 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1 small apple, chopped (unpeeled) 1 cup cooked quinoa 2 tablespoons maple syrup 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar InstructionsPlace the parsnips, chicken stock and water in a medium sauce pan, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the parsnips are tender. Drain the liquid off, add the butter and milk, and mash the parsnips. Taste and add extra salt if needed. Set aside. Preheat the oven broiler. Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat, and add the onion. Sauce for about 5 minutes until lightly golden. Add the ground turkey, and break up the pieces. Cook until turkey is lightly browned. Reduce the heat to low, and add the salt, poultry seasoning, pecans, cranberries, apple, and quinoa and stir well to combine.

People… Not everyone should cut out gluten! There are lots of healthy gluten-containing whole grains that need some love. Carbs, especially those that contain gluten, have gotten a really bad rap the past few years, and I'm feeling kind of bad for them. I'm not talking about donuts, or even Italian or ciabatta bread (although I do love all of you dearly – in moderation!). I'm talking about good old oats (even though you technically don't contain gluten), or farro, or wheatberries or all of those other whole grains that deserve a place in a healthy diet. After all, it's all about balance, moderation, and quality, right?! Apparently, about 1/3 of us think that gluten-containing carbs are off limits. Well, I'm certainly not in favor of refined carbs – all of that white flour and sugar definitely got us into a bad place nutritionally, but whole grains deserve a place in our diets, even if they contain gluten. They're full of the quick energy, fiber, and protein that our bodies need to run efficiently and feel well. Anyone who has ever tried to be productive, or even get a good work out in knows that you just don't feel as well if you cut out those carbs. Whole grains include things like oats and barley that are packed with soluble fiber to lower blood sugar and cholesterol. And then there's farro – which makes such a perfect low glycemic index substitute for risotto, and wheatberries, which add delightful chewiness and bulk to a grilled veggie salad. And of course, there's millet, and sorghum and teff – if you really do want a gluten-free whole grain. Whole grains are the cream of the crop when it comes to grains and they shouldn't be on the Do Not Eat List unless you are gluten intolerant, or have a proven allergy or sensitivity to them! It seems that a few researchers agree, because here's what they're sayin': A study from the University of Illinois at Chicago examined blood and urine samples from a group of individuals who followed a gluten-free diet and found that they had 70% higher levels of toxic mercury and twice as much arsenic in their bodies than their gluten-eating friends. It might be because they eat more rice, but the cause wasn't determined. Researchers from Tufts University found that eating a diet rich in whole grains when substituted for refined grains, results in increased metabolism, to the tune of about 100 calories per day – that's 10 pounds a year people! Finally, in a study that looked at exercise performance in cyclers who preferred a gluten-free diet because they believe it enhances athletic performance, researchers found absolutely no difference when the athletes ate a gluten-free energy bar or a gluten-containing energy bar. AKA it was all in their head. Bottom line – if you have celiac disease, or non-celiac gluten intolerance, or a wheat allergy, you should absolutely avoid grains that contain gluten or wheat. But for the rest of us, it's all about choosing non-processed grains and eating them in moderation. They really can give you that extra energy boost and a decent amount of fiber which can have many important health benefits. What's your favorite whole grain? Do you try to limit gluten? Eat well! ...read more
Kick your Taco Tuesday up a notch with these quick and crunchy refrigerator pickled vegetables Happy Taco Tuesday friends! It's also the 21st of the month, which means it's time for a Recipe ReDux post – and how convenient is this – February's theme is all about tacos! We were asked to share a healthy, creative take on tacos. Tacos are kind of a staple food in my house, because they're such a quick, easy, no recipe and minimal ingredients dinner. If I have lots of time, I'll do them with grilled fish and a cabbage slaw, if I have a little bit of time, I'll grill up some chicken and make guacamole and beans, and if I have absolutely no time, it's just canned black beans and sliced avocado with a sprinkle of salt. Because most of my evenings fall into the last category, I decided it might be best to always keep a supply of this Pickled Taco Salad on hand. It keeps for over a month in the refrigerator, and it adds such a fabulous crunchy, fresh zing of flavor to any kind of taco – even the most plain and simple kind. It's even perfect just served with toasted corn tortillas (and a margarita of course). I've made a similar recipe in the past, with radishes and carrots, but I actually simplified the pickling mixture in this recipe, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm totally in love with swapping jicama for the radishes, and the addition of corn. In fact, after I wrapped up the photos for this recipe, I even added the black beans I used in the photo and I'm lovin' that even more. This is the recipe that just keeps on getting better no matter what you add to it! I'm definitely a corn tortilla kind of girl. Just a spritz of olive oil, a sprinkle of sea salt, and a quick toast on a hot pan. Crunchy-chewy heaven. And the cool, crisp and tangy veggies along with it are all I need for dinner. Maybe a slice or two of avocado if there's one around. Once you try these vegetables, I swear, you'll never go back to topping your tacos with lettuce and tomatoes again. Ever.

It's soup season! Make some for dinner tonight, and serve it with this whole grain quick bread, warm from the oven. Disclosure: This post is sponsored by ReganMillerJones Inc. and the General Mills Bell Institute of Health and Nutrition on behalf of Progresso™ . I received free samples of the soup mentioned in the post and I was compensated for my time. As always, opinions are my own. I might have mentioned a few dozen or so times, that I'm pretty much addicted to soup, especially when it's served with fresh quick bread, warm from the oven. Is there anything better when the weather is cool, cold, or even warmish?? When I lived in Boston, I could eat it all year long. Now, with the 100+ temps in AZ for several months of the year, I've had to cut back a bit, but February is soup season, so I'm in full soup swing – it's like a big hug or a warm blanket on a cold night. Soup is also my "secret weapon" for balancing any winter weight that might come from indulging in a few too many sweet treats or comfort foods during these long winter months. Eating vegetable or broth-based soups can fill you up for not a whole lot of calories – in fact, research suggests that people who eat soup tend to have healthier body weights. While I love to get creative and make my own soups, I also tend to keep a few cans of ready-made soup on hand, and one of my favorite brands is Progresso™. So many great flavors, and did you know that their chicken soups are made with white meat chicken with no antibiotics – ever? #Truth. Progresso ™ makes it pretty much the way I make it myself. Having the quick and easy convenience of Progresso ™ soups on hand means that I have some extra time to play with dough. This quick bread is the perfect compliment to a bowl of hot chicken soup. It's full of fiber and whole grain goodness, from whole wheat and oats, as well as pumpkin, sunflower and hemp seeds. You can certainly make the dough with regular (or nondairy milk), but I love the tang and extra protein that kefir gives it. Kind of like kicked-up buttermilk. #sponsored Warm up this #Winter with @Progresso soup + homemade #WholeGrain quick bread #SoupYourWay Click To Tweet Print3-Seed Whole Grain & Kefir Quick Bread Prep Time: 15 minutesCook Time: 60 minutes Yield: 1 loaf Ingredients1 cup old fashioned oats 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons roasted, unsalted sunflower seeds (divided) 2 tablespoons roasted, unsalted pumpkin seeds (pepitos) 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup honey 1 3/4 cups full fat or low fat plain kefir 1 tablespoon hemp seeds (hemp hearts) InstructionsPreheat the oven to 375 degrees, and spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.

Great deal!
I bought this for 13 year old son who outgrew twin bed. He loves it, and says it is super comfortable. When I laid on it, it felt OK, but I could press down with my hands and feel the springs inside. It was a great buy for the price though and my 13 year old is tall and skinny. It will be fine for a few years for him.

UAlbany women can't shed the bull's-eye
Great Danes favored to win league tournament despite coming off loss
Published 8:34 pm, Thursday, March 6, 2014
There is no question the University at Albany women's basketball team is still the overwhelming favorite to win the America East Tournament.
But now, for the first time this season, there is an ever-so-slight twinge of doubt. The Great Danes, who steamrolled through January and February and won their first 15 league games by an average margin of 26 points, finally got beat.
UAlbany's 38-game conference winning streak snapped like a dry twig this past Saturday, when Stony Brook came to SEFCU Arena and left with a decisive 66-56 win.
"Of course we wanted to win that game," said UAlbany sophomore forward Shereesha Richards, the leading scorer (20.2 points per game) and rebounder (9.2 rebounds per game) in the America East. "Things happen."
More Information
At a glance
America East quarterfinal game
No. 8 Binghamton (5-24) vs. No. 1 UAlbany (25-4)
When: 6 p.m. Friday
Where: SEFCU Arena, Albany
Web: ESPN3
What has happened since is that the Danes have become an ornery bunch. And that might not be good news for the rest of the league when the conference tournament starts Friday at SEFCU Arena. Four quarterfinal games are on the schedule, with the top-seeded Danes playing No. 8 Binghamton at 6 p.m.
UAlbany will be a solid pick to win after beating the Bearcats 66-36 on the road and 86-35 at home. After tasting defeat, the Danes are adamant that they don't want to taste it again.
"I would say we are a mad kind of team," junior guard Sarah Royals said. "You can't look at our coaching staff or our players and not see anger."
Since Saturday, the Danes have refocused their energy toward the tournament. If they win Friday and Sunday, the Danes will play in the America East championship game at 4 p.m. Monday at SEFCU. That game will be televised on ESPNU.
Practices, as one might expect, have been tough since the upset loss. Coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson, who has led UAlbany to back-to-back America East titles and trips to the NCAA Tournament, would have it no other way.
"Mama Bear is disappointed, and they don't like me to be disappointed in them," Abrahamson-Henderson said. "I'm always mad when they don't play hard."
Stony Brook is on the opposite side of the bracket from the Danes, and the only way the two could meet is in the championship game.
The Seawolves, the second seed, open the tournament against No. 7 University of Maryland-Baltimore County.
Beth O'Boyle, Stony Brook's coach, knows what team is still the big choice to be cutting down the SEFCU Arena nets Monday.
"Definitely, (UAlbany) is the favorite," O'Boyle said. "They are such a good program. You don't win 38 games in a row without being the best. I have a lot of respect for Coach Abe, and I imagine that Coach Abe will rebound."
The Danes will be focused on Binghamton, but Abrahamson-Henderson wants to make sure her team remembers what happened to them Saturday.
"I never forget losses," she said. "I remember a loss years ago when I was at Missouri State, and it drove me crazy. I forget wins; I never forget losses. They can let (the Stony Brook loss) go, but you can't forget it. And they won't."

The 18-year-old made his Premier League debut in United's 2-0 win over Stoke last night.
Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City are among the clubs being linked with Pogba.
But United are still trying to persuade the youngster to sign a new contract.
"Pogba did very well," said Ferguson.
"The boy has great talent and tremendous physique for an 18-year-old. You can't believe it.
"We are negotiating his contract at the moment.
"It is a bit complicated because he has changed his agent a couple of times.
"But the boy wants to stay, that is obvious. Hopefully we can get it done soon."

Potential GoneMature
I wrote this after reading this article: http://themattwalshblog.com/2014/04/23/aborted-babies-are-being-incinerated-to-provide-electricity-in-the-united-states/
If you read it first, it will give you some background on what I'm talking about.
This world is sick.
It's falling to pieces around me,
And it seems sometimes that no one cares.
I hear you bragging that we are so advanced,
We know so much more than we did before.
But what use are things to keep us alive,
If we throw life away,
Before babies have a chance to live?
And after we tear their potential from this world,
Take their lives from them,
What do we do?
We use them for fuel.
It makes me sick,
That humans are equated with firewood and coal.
Not only do we commit murder,
But we use the bodies for power,
To do it again.
Every one of those babies had potential,
They would have had dreams.
A family,
Doing something to improve the world around them,
Lives that would have touched others,
That will never be known.

Playing through the game, I tried to have no romantic relationships.
…I really did. This was the most common reason I failed.
Also, as a public service message, am I the only person who has gotten really, really annoyed by people who post their Persona fics in the the Megami Tensei section? The Persona series is the only Megaten game series to have its own section, and instead of taking advantage of that, people keep spamming the Megaten section with their Persona fics and making everyone have to wade through pages and pages to find anything with Gale, or Raidou, or any of the other Megaten characters!
So please, people, I know that the Persona games contain some general series elements, but if your fic is primarily Persona, either put it in the the Persona section or, if you absolutely have to, list it as a Persona/Megaten crossover, ok? There's no excuse for doing anything else, at least until the site gives Devil Survivor and all the other subseries their own sections.
"Hi, guys."
"Hey," Yosuke said, nodding to Yu as they sat around the table. "So, we going after him today?"
"Yeah, but… Remember Ai? She's the basketball team's manager?"
Yosuke groaned, leaning forward to put his head on the table.
"Way to go, sensei!" Teddie cheered.
"Wha-what, again?" Chie demanded. "This is an Investigation Team, not your harem!" she said, getting to her feet and putting her hands on her hips.
"But she needed a hug!" Yu insisted, although at least he had the grace to look sheepish.
"Sheesh, sempai, you gotta learn to say no!" Kanji told him, then looked to the side, "Well, if the girl was crying like that Yumi, and…"
"I was going to set her up with Kou, but he doesn't want to do anything without Daisuke and Daisuke's not into girls," Yu said, shrugging. He didn't get that, but if Daisuke really did feel that way even after getting to know Chie and all the others, it must just be the way he was, unlike how most people claimed they were perfectly straight.
And then they met Yu.
"Hey, setting her up with someone doesn't mean we can't invite her!" Rise smiled at Yu, who returned her grin, giving him a thumbs up. "I mean, there's Kanji and Naoto, and Chie and Yukiko, and you already mentioned Kou and Daisuke, and Naoki and Yumi are getting really close!" Great for them!
Chie blushed. "Well…"
She looked at Yukiko for help, but there wasn't any to be found there: the dark-haired girl was still snickering. "Not… not his harem…"
That was clearly one of the funniest things she had ever heard.
"You guys aren't my harem, you're my friends," Yu protested.
"With benefits!" Teddie added happily.
"You've even managed to seduce the shrine's guardian kitsune," Naoto pointed out with a resigned yet somewhat irritated expression. "And to think that I rejected the hypothesis that you were starting a cult even before confirming that you weren't responsible for the murders…"
"Oh, that's a great idea!" Rise clapped her hands together. "…Just kidding."
"Aww, but that's a great idea!" Teddie protested.
"Don't make jokes like that, people might believe you," Naoto said, hand on her chest as she calmed down.
"It's not like I mean to…"
"We know man, we know," Yosuke interrupted him, head still on the table. Since he was one of the people who had needed a hug, as well as someone who used to think he was straight. "But this is getting kind of ridiculous. I mean, show of hands: am I the only one amazed that Yu didn't end up getting kidnapped?"
No, he definitely wasn't. "I'd totally kidnap him." Rise nodded. "And so would a lot of my fans. I mean, if I'd been much bigger, I wouldn't have felt safe coming back here without bodyguards." She'd been too dead to the world to really care about the risk of getting kidnapped by a stalker or a murderer until she met Yu and everyone.
"So what, so the only way to stop someone from carrying him off is to guard him twenty-four/seven?" Kanji asked. What if the next person Yu decided to help was the leader of one of those damn biker gangs or something?
"I don't really think that's necessary…" Yu said.
"We'll have to guard him in shifts." Naoto ignored him, since Yu was clearly too trusting and too generous with his compassion and affections. The way he'd remembered such little things about Naoto that she'd only said once: it wasn't just proof of his skill as a detective, it was proof that he cared. "It will be especially important now that he's home alone. Teddie can move in with him-"
"Score!" the bear cheered.
"-and so can I, since the suspect is still at large," and Naoto had a gun, "but the rest of you will have to see what your families will find acceptable. As soon as we've returned from the TV world, I'll call the others to inform them of the risk to Yu and start drawing up a schedule."
"What about his part-time jobs?" Yosuke reminded her, since he worked at Junes himself. "Shu, that poor kid…" Who hadn't had anyone else to give him a birthday until Yu called him.
"Shu decided to stop studying so hard and join a baseball team, and Sayoko left to find herself," Yu told him. "I'm still working at the daycare center," since he missed Nanako, "but besides that I'm mostly just fishing and spending time with people. Oh, right, I should introduce Naoki to Hisano."
"Hisano?" Yosuke demanded. Who was this Hisano?
"She's really old," Chie told him, blinking. "I don't think… right?"
"No!" Yu told her, shocked. "…Although she does keep saying I look like her husband."
"Can't…. breathe…" Yukiko managed to force out through the laughter.
"Yukiko!" Chie picked her up. "Come on, we have to get over there so someone can cast Amrita!"
Everyone stared.
Ai folded her arms. "And what exactly do you have to say for yourself?"
"But her husband abandoned her because of her looks, and she really needed a hug!" Yu said in his defense, standing between everyone else and the grey-haired gas station attendant so she didn't get her feelings hurt.
Rise nudged the guy on her left. "Pay up, Yosuke."
Yosuke dug in his pocket for his wallet, muttering "Goddammit," under his breath.
"That can be arranged," was the goddess' response.
FYI, what Yukiko is laughing at is the the idea that they aren't his harem. Because they totally are.

My gaming history goes back to the Spectrum days and nearly always at that time my favourite games were racing of some sort, but they were hideously done in comparison to arcades and the Spectrum's nemesis the C64. The best racer from memory that I enjoyed was Full Throttle, a motorbike simulation that at least had a bit of speed to it. I also owned Pole Position, which was incredibly slow in comparison, and the best of the F1 simulators was Chequered Flag. Trans Am was a top down car game that was quite fast and frantic at times but not really a racing games, but one I enjoyed.
I then went more than 10 years out of gaming, before coming back into it with the N64 and PS1. I foolishly bought an N64 initially and started to really like first person shooters, especially GoldenEye. I bought a PS1 for the car racing games that the N64 lacked and there were great games like TOCA and F1 97, that had totally OTT commentary from Murray Walker, and of course the Gran Turismo series.
I think the PS1 era was the golden era for me of car racing games, as it took the genre to new heights of realism. I've bought all the main versions of Gran Turismo since but doubt I'll buy another one again; certainly not this current gen. I don't own a PlayStation 4 and bought a fancy graphics card for my old-ish PC that enables me to play all the current games. Now that No Man's Sky is coming to the PC I've no need to buy a PlayStation 4.
The car racing genre has totally gone stale for me with little in the way of variety aside from different cars and different tracks, or just the same ones with a new lick of paint. In the case of Gran Turismo the only changes I notice are improved graphics and just more cars on track. Not enough for me to want to buy into in future. Forza Motorsport was just more of the same. I'm not sure what would need to change to bring it back. Sales of all car racing games seem to be low these days, with them barely lasting in the charts, so it's not just me that's bored of them.
I've recently got much more interested in role-players and I'm slowly working my way through The Witcher 3. I've got the free download on Xbox 360 of The Witcher 2 to then tackle, a barely played Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and no idea why but I've just purchased Skyrim. So I've got a lot of gaming to do over the next year or two.

Re: FRANZ, Jacob of Baltimore MD 1870s
Loren, Thanks for your reply. I too have not followed that branch of the tree yet. Eugene passed away 12-29-99 and unfortunately we never pursued his roots with him. His Sister Dorothy is still around and I will ask her a little more about that side. I will keep your info and if there is any connection that turns up I will be back in touch.
My email is firstname.lastname@example.com .

Rejuvenating a small bathroom is never an easy task! Everybody wants that spa experience but it is difficult to relax in a space that feels cramped or cluttered. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to reclaim your bathroom – inch by inch – even if you're working with a small budget.
Making a Big Impact in a Small Bathroom
1. Replace decor with accessories
Too many decorations steal valuable negative space. Even paintings on the wall and shelf-bound knickknacks can make a space feel smaller than it really is. Opt for functional accessories instead. Things like coordinated hand towels or a sleek wooden bath mat make much better use of visual real estate.
2. Small changes, big differences
Do whatever you can to eliminate shadows. Switch to lighter window shades (as transparent as possible) to make a room look bright and spacious. Upgrade the light bulbs or install fixtures that are more efficient if possible. Consider switching to a solid-colored shower curtain that hangs flat or pulls back neatly.
3. Switch to a space-saving vanity
Modern trends in bathroom vanities are in line with small space design. Vessel sinks, for instance, allow you to utilize a lower vanity with a more streamlined appearance. We also love beautiful bathrooms that make good use of wall-mounted vanities to achieve a lighter than air look.
4. Consider plumbing upgrades
Toilets are being made with slimmer tanks, sinks are available with smaller footprints, and shower stalls are becoming very small-bathroom friendly. Opt for space saving bathroom suites to save the most amount of money on the newest designs.
5. Rethink your shelving situation
Creating recessed shelves is a quick weekend job but there are faster ways to reclaim space in the bathroom. Sometimes removing an existing shelf level can make room for smart baskets, and slim but functional benches are a good way to justify more storage on the floor.
Experimenting with a fresh bathroom design is an exciting experience. Clean, uncluttered small bathrooms are beautiful – and another step closer to those spacious spa-like retreats that fill our dreams at night. Have you completed any weekend projects like these recently? We would love to hear about your awesome small bathroom transformations!

If you, like us, are staying in Dublin and would like to see Giants' Causeway and other sites in Northeast Ireland in a day, then this tour is for you. It's very well thought out and managed and the guide (Tara) and driver (Danny) were excellent.
I would like to say thanks for the guide Aislinn and the driver Dave for making this tour really special. They were both so nice and friendly. It was very interesting to listen to Aislinn's stories and narration about history, facts and myths of the things we saw along the way.
Our Guide was Tara and our driver was Peter and they were both awesome. Our tour was an all day event from the early morning until evening and our driver Peter navigated us through the tour's long hours and skinny roads safely. Great tour overall!
My son and I had fun visiting Galway, and driving through areas like Ballyfour, Kinvara, and to the Cliffs of Moher with our bus driver William and our tour guide Jackie. They were both great! Thank you for a lovely time on our vacation in Dublin/Ireland!
Fantastic day trip. would recommend Finn McCool tours. Tara our Guide was very Knowledgeable and gave us a lot of history. Our Driver was also great. He managed hairpin bends with ease.
We did the Cliffs of Moher tour and had a very enjoyable day. Our driver was William and he was very entertaining from the beginning right until the end of our day. We had excellent weather so the experience at the cliffs was great, overall a very enjoyable day and we would certainly recommend this tour.
we had the most amazing time on our tour! our tour guide tara was so friendly and funny, allowing us time to sleep as well as it's a long day!! would highly recommend.
This tour was well worth the money. The tour guide was wonderful and provided a lot of good information about the history of Ireland. Giant's Causeway is amazing and a must-see and the rope bridge was a fun adventure!
Firstly i cannot praise our tour guide tara enough, on what was a painfully cold day /heavy winds/ minus temperatures, she kept things upbeat and at a brilliant pac. £30 was worth every penny! Just for the ride around the coast of ireland alone!!
Our tour guide Aislinn was super and had plenty useful historical information and did everything to see that her charges were looked after. We will recommend the tour to anyone with a day to spare. Good weather helped us on the day, good walking shoes and warm clothes needed. Thanks Aislinn and Dave (the driver).

Hii readers i know i am late becoz i am suffering from fever..And exam are on my head so i give short updates..plzz read the below paragraph
There is a bit confusion about kavita.U all r thinking that there is 2 kavita in my ff..But no the daughter of urvashi is the vamp kavita and the orphanage owner's daughter who is the ex-fiance of sanskar is kavya..I think now the confusions r clear..
Here is the previous link..
He is walking in corridor and unfortunately reached to ragini's room..He enters in the room ragini is getting ready in the washroom..
San-Ahh..at last i reached to my room.. sanskar bete now fastly fastly go to washroom and take shower otherwise i will die soon becoz my eyes r burning like hell..And he hurriedly runs to washroom..The fate is also with them today ragini forget to lock the door of washroom…
Rag see herself in the mirror- Now i am ready..let's go and as she turns she becomes shocked and shouts Aaaaahhhhhh…becoz sanskar is standing in front of ragini topless.He is only in his pajamas..Ragini hurriedly turns her face aside and closes her eyes tightly..
Rag stammerly- Sa..sa..sanskar what r u doing.. here??
San shocked- This ques should ask by me what r u doing in my washroom??
Rag confusedly- ur washroom!!!!!And she turns her face but again hurriedly turns aside..U r still standing like this..
San- Standing like this..then how should i like to be stand and one sec why u started shouting??
Rag- becoz u r topless…
San shockingly- what??Oh sit…sit.sit..He hurriedly picks his kurta and started to wear and he is continuously saying ragini plzz don't turn aside..plzz plzz stand like this only..And he wears the kurta but his eyes r closed..
Rag- Ho gya..

Rag- yess..i do something and she hurriedly picks a cloth and wipes the haldi from his eyes..Now its ok..
San nods his head in no..its still burning..
Rag comes close to sanskar and uplifts her to his height and started to blow gentle air on her eyes..
O re piya haye..
O re piya haye..
O re piya haye..
Sanskar is now feeling better but her naughty mind works at that time..
Rag concernedly- Now..
San- no..ragini again blows air.
Sanskar smirks and holds ragini's waist and brings her more closer.Ragini disbalances and falls on his chest and they have cute eyelock..Their face are too close to eachother.Sanskar tight his grip on ragini's waist.
Udne laga kyon man baawla re
Aaya kahan se yeh hosla re
O re piya haye..
O re piya.
O re piya haye..
Their thoughts of trance broken by the voice of aarohi.
Aarohi- ragini where r u??Everyone is waiting for u..
Ragini is going to say but sanskar put his finger on her lips and says ssshh..
Aarohi- Don't know where she is??
She goes outside to find ragini…
Ragini slowly- Sanskar what r u doing??Everyone is waiting down for me to start haldi ceremony.Let me go and by the way we r not allowed to meet before wedding..Let me go.. Ragini leaves but sanskar stops her by holding her hand..
San sees into her eyes- Not so easily..And he comes close to her..
Rag steps back seeing into her eyes.Sanskar is taking one step forward and ragini take one step back and at the end ragini hits the wall..Sanskar puts both his hand on the wall in order yo stop ragini from going..
Again the have a cute and lovely eyelock..
O re Piya
O re Piya haye..
O re piya haye..
O re Piya
Ragini breathes heavily due to their close approximity.The sweat come on her forehead.Her cheeks turns to cherry red due to blushness..
San huskily- My haldi is still left…Kehte hain agar hone wala pati apni dulhan ko apne hathon se haldi lagaye toh uska nikhar aur badhta hain..Then how can i left u without applying haldi??
Rag stammerly- what do… u mean… sanskar??
Nazrein bolen duniya bole
dil ki zaban haaye dil ki zubaan
Ishq maange ishq chahe koi toofan
Sanskar leans over her lips ragini closes her eyes.She is having goosebumps.She is breathing heavily..Sanskar sensationally rubs his cheeks to ragini's cheeks..Ragini clutches her lehenga tightly..
Chalna aahiste ishq naya hai
Pehla yeh vada humne kiya hai
O re piya haye..
O re piya haye..
O re piya
Sanskar releases her and ragini's eyes r still closed.When she opens her eyes sanskar is not there.She sees here and there but he is not visible anywhere.Then she touches her cheeks and the haldi is applied on her cheeks.Then she reminicses the recent incident and smiles widely and starts blushing..
Then she goes down and everyone starts haldi ceremony of ragini..Aarohi is gone to bought haldi for ragini..Kavita sees her going and smirks evilly..kavita goes behind aarohi..
Aarohi is coming taking bowl of haldi in her hand suddenly kav stops her.
Kav-Aarohi Bhabhi… dp uncle is calling u..
Aarohi- Accha..but this haldi..
Kav snatches the bowl from her hand says- u don't take tension of it..I will take haldi out..
Aarohi- ok..And she goes from there..
Kavita smirks and puts the bowl on table and takes out a small bottle and pours it into the bowl of haldi..
Kav- U slapped me na..now face the consequences when this haldi will be applied on ur face then ur so called beaitiful face become the world's worst face..She laughs evilly..
Then only swara comes thereand says
Swa- Kavita..what r u doing here??
Kavita hurriedly hides the bottle and stammers..
Kav- woah….actually..
Swa angrily- Say it clearly kavita what r u doing here??
Kav- Woah..i came here to take haldi for ragini..Her haldi ceremony is going to start na..
Swara see the haldi bowl on the table she goes towards it and picks it and comes to kav..
Swa- Tumhe taklif karne ki koi zaroorat nhi hai..I will take this..
Swara gave her a stern look and goes from there..
Kav smiles evilly and she also goes from there..
Ragini is sitting in the hall she is very happy.Swara comes with the haldi..
Aarohi- See haldi also came let's start the ritual…
Sumi first comes there and she is going to apply the haldi but swara stops her..
Swa- One min…
Everyone see towards her confusedly..Kavita is also get scared..She is sweating badly..
Kav in her mind- Isn't swara comes to know everything??
Swa- Di..This haldi she looks towards kavita then to ragini..
Rag- yess swara..
Swa- Who applied u haldi on ur cheeks??
Kavita takes a gulp of relief..
As soon as swara says this words ragini cheeks become cherry red and now she is looking more gorgeous..
Aarohi- Aree swara yeh bhi koi poochne ki baat hai i am sure this is absolutely done by sanskar..U didn't see her blushing..
Everyone giggles and ragini feels embarrased..
Sumi- Now can i apply haldi..
Aarohi- yaa..yaaa..
Sumi applies haldi..Kavita is just seeing her with much curiosity..Then everyone applies haldi one by one and in this way haldi function gets over..
Kav confusedly- This much time is passed and till now ragini is fine..I think that medicine is oudated..Tommorow i will see that shopkeeper he gave me outdated med and becoz of him my plan fails..
She goes to kitchen and sees another bowl of haldi..
Kav- Nevermind.. haldi ceremony is over and till now i didn't apply haldi on my face..She picks that bowl and goes to her room..
Kav-Now i will apply this haldi and will become the world's beautiful girl..yipeee..
And she hurriedly applies haldi on her face like facepack and applied in her hands also..After sometime she started feeling itching..Her face is burning like hell..She hurriedly goes to washroom and wash her face..She comes out and takes a breath of relief..
Kav- oh gosh..Now i am feeling better..
Then only urvashi comes in the room and as she saw kav face she shouts loudly..
Kav angrily- Mom..why r u shouting??
Urvashi stammers- ur..fa..ce..
Kav- What happens to my face??And as she turns and saw her face in the mirror..She also shouts..Mummmyyyyyyyyyy….
Kav touches her face and on her face many pimples had come out and in her hands rashes..
Urvashi- R u gone mad..wht u did to ur face??
Kav- I didn't do anything..I just applied..Then she thinks for a while and says it means that spoilt haldi is put in the kitchen which i bought and the good haldi goes to ragini..But who do this??
The scene shifts to the sanlak room and there..Swalak and ragsan and aarohi are laughing whole heartedly..
Lak- Omg..Sanskar…Did u saw her face??
Aarohi- I have a doubt that her intentions are wrong..
Swa- And i saw her mixing the med in the haldi..
Lak- yess..And when u r making her busy in ur talks then only i change the bowls..
San-Now she applied that spoilt haldi on her face..
Rag- Kehte hai na who dig whole for other he/she herself fall in that whole..
San- U r right..Now their crimes pot is fulfilled and its time to give punishment for their deeds..
Episode ends..
Precap- Sangeet day..

Road charity Brake said a "horrifying" 30 per cent rise in cycle deaths between 2003 and 2005 was to blame, along with "inadequate" cycle lanes. In London, the numberof bicycle journeys has risen by more than 80 per cent over five years. However, the national average per person per year fell from 18 in 1995-97 to just 14 in 2005.
Brake said 64 per cent of drivers never cycle on roads as they are afraid of having an accident.
It called on the Government to invest more in road engineering measures to protect cyclists, such as 20mph zones around schools and homes.
Jools Townsend, head of education at Brake, said: "It is terrible that so many people are afraid to get on a bicycle because of fear of traffic, and worse that their fears are justified."
Of 1,000 people polled by Brake, 47 per cent said they never cycled. One third said they believed dangerous drivers outnumbered safe drivers.

DHA Lahore Blast kills 8
February 23, 2017 by staff · Comments Off
DHA Lahore Blast kills 8, At least six people have been killed by an explosion in the Pakistani city of Lahore, officials say.
The blast ripped through a shopping area, wounding another 30 people.
The cause is unknown. Initial reports suggested an electricity generator exploded but police said later it may have been a bomb.
Pakistan has been hit by a wave of bombings claimed by Islamist militant groups in recent days. There was no immediate claim for the latest blast.
It happened in Lahore's Defence Housing Authority suburb. Television footage showed buildings and cars damaged by the blast.
Last week a Taliban faction said it carried out a bomb attack in Lahore, which killed 13 people and wounded more than 80.
Days later a suicide bomb attack at a shrine in the southern town of Sehwan was claimed by the so-called Islamic State (IS). Police now say 90 people were killed.
In response, Pakistan launched a security crackdown, which included closing border crossings with Afghanistan, and claims it killed 100 militants.

Stanford Theatre
Stanford Theatre, Palo Alto California
|221 University Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94022
|Indoor theatre
The Stanford Theatre is a classical independent movie theater in Palo Alto, California. It was designed and built in the 1920s as a movie palace styled in neoclassical Persian and Moorish architecture. Today it specializes in films produced between 1910 and 1970 and seasonal programs typically include film festivals for various genres, directors, and actors, such as Alfred Hitchcock, Bette Davis, and Cary Grant.
Designed by architects Weeks and Day, the theater was built at a cost of USD $300,000 and opened in 1925. It was purchased in 1987 for $7.7 million and restored by David and Lucile Packard Foundation at an additional cost of $6 million for a 1989 grand opening of The Wizard of Oz.[1][2][3] It is currently operated by the Stanford Theatre Foundation, led by David Woodley Packard, the son of Hewlett-Packard co-founder David Packard.[4] The Theatre has a "The Mighty Wurlitzer Organ" theatre organ made by Rudolph Wurlitzer Company. The Stanford Theatre frequently accounts for as much as twenty-five percent of all classic film attendance in the United States.[5]

People need loving the most when they deserve it the least. John HarriganAs Michael stood in the funeral home, staring at his brother's coffin, Jesse made his way through the crowd to stand by Michael's side. Jesse noticed how Maddie glared over towards Michael. Seeing Michael's frown and tearful expression, Jesse put his arm around Michael's shoulder. Yes, Michael was way too hard on Nate while in Atlantic City but Michael did give Nate a direct order to not approach Anson. If Nate listened to his brother he would still be here.
Maddie would never see it that way and would not give Michael the love he needed to get through this. Jesse knew that Maddie felt Michael deserved nothing. He was unworthy of her love.
"Don't pay her any mind. She's hurting and its easier to lash out at you than anyone else." Jesse tried his best to reason through Maddie's rejection. Seeing Michael's head drop, Jesse knew Michael was beating himself up worse than Maddie ever could.
"Look at the people in the seats. See that pretty Irish girl sitting next to that older man? That girl loves you more than anything in the world and the man next to her, is your brother. He would die for you. The guy standing next to you has had differences with you in the past, but still loves you like a big brother. Doesn't matter if you are right or wrong, it just matters that we love you. Even though that lady standing on the other side of Nate thinks you don't deserve love, we know you need it and we got you on this one."
Michael smiled and gave Jesse a small nod. "Thanks brother."

The largest of the Greek Islands, Crete has the most inhabitants of all the islands. It is the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea at 8,336 km2. Crete plays a large part in the economy and cultural heritage of Greece. Crete holds on to it's own cultural traits (such as its own music and dialect), however Cretans believe themselves to be Greeks. Heraklion is the largest city and capital of Crete.

Crete has two climate areas, the Mediterranean and the North African. The largest area being within the Mediterranean. The climate is therefore mostly temperate. Although it can be quite humid, depending on the distance to the sea, but winter is fairly mild. Between November and May snow is common in the mountain areas. It is unusual in the lower areas. It is not unknown however, as was the case in February 2004 when the whole island was covered in snow.
In summer, temperatures usually reach the high 20s-low 30s Celsius (mid 80s to mid 90s Fahrenheit), with a high of upper 30s to mid 40s (above 110 °F / 43.3 °C).
The south coast, which include the Mesara Plain and Asterousia Mountains, fall in the North African climatic zone, and enjoy far more more sunny days and high temperatures throughout the year.

[Editor's note: The author has made some changes to the end of the article and the conclusion since original publication.]
The problem with cancer treatment that makes it truly a scourge is differentiating cancer cells from healthy cells. The immune system can't do it and doesn't attack tumors as it does any other pathogenic disease. Standard cancer treatments can't do it, as chemotherapy that is designed to stop cell division and shrink tumors also stops division of healthy cells, making people very sick. Radiation certainly doesn't do it, as radiation indiscriminately kills healthy cells along with cancer cells.
But advances have been made, and they largely have to do with "tagging" cancer cells in some way -- usually by having them absorb something external, something the body or administered medications can recognize, lock on to, and destroy. There are basically three ways to do this. One is to prime the immune system with tumor antigen in vitro and re-administer, hoping immune cells have picked up cancer markers and will now attack in vivo. Another is to reprogram a virus to infiltrate cancer cells and either attack them or mark them with new genetic material so they can be attacked. The third, which I would like to focus on here, is to open cancer cell membranes via a process called electroporation, or creating pores through administering electric current. Direct electric current creates these pores in the cell membrane, and from there the cells can be destroyed directly or else markers can be taken up by the cancer cells, which are then targeted for destruction.
Electroporation as a method of cancer treatment is being pursued all over the globe by universities, private institutions, and biotech companies alike. A combing of active electroporation clinical trials on clinicaltrials.gov yields a list of 10 initiatives in several different countries. The criteria for "active clinical trial" applied here is that the trial is either about to recruit, actively recruiting, or post-recruitment and gathering data, and has been updated by the sponsors within the last 12 months. All other trials are not included here.
Of these 10, four are sponsored by small university or private medical institutions, which rarely go beyond Phase II without being picked up by a corporation, as Phase III costs are too expensive for non-corporate entities to shoulder. Six are sponsored or co-sponsored by small to midsize biotech companies, including Bioalliance Pharma, a company on the French exchange; OncoSec (NASDAQ:ONCS); Scancell (a London company); Inovio (NYSEMKT:INO); and Angiodynamics (NASDAQ:ANGO). First I will give a rundown of these trials by sponsor, and follow up each with an investment analysis where appropriate.
Non-Corporate Electroporation Trials
The four non corporate-sponsored cancer electroporation trials currently active are sponsored by Sloan Kettering in Manhattan, Mary Crowley Medical Research Center in Dallas, VU University in the Netherlands, and the Clinical Research Office of the Endourological Society (CROES) also in the Netherlands. Three of the four are Phase I trials, the last Phase II. Any are equally likely to be picked up by a corporate sponsor if and when Phase II results show promise, so though they are not investable yet, success means they eventually will be. Also, success will have implications for and affect tradable companies pursuing a similar course to cancer treatment.
The first Phase I to be completed will be VU University's, estimated for July 2013. Currently recruiting with a quota of 10, this one is indirectly related to Angiodynamics as VU will be using ANGO's Nanoknife technology -- FDA approved for the general ablation of soft tissue by electroporation, but not specifically as a cancer treatment. VU will be using Nanoknife to ablate malignant liver tumors. Success in this trial will be good news for ANGO investors. This use of electroporation is more direct than using it to tag cancer cells, in that the electroporation is strong and continuous until apoptosis, or programmed cell death. If a cell membrane remains open for long enough, the cell commits suicide. The advantage of electroporation in this instance is that only the cells that are given a DC current die, as opposed to radiation-treated tumors or tumors that are heated or frozen in which cases the radiation, heating, or freezing can easily affect healthy cells, especially in sensitive places like the liver.
On the heels of VU University is Sloan Kettering with an electroporation Phase I melanoma trial estimated for completion in October 2013, recruiting with an enrollment target of nine. The goal of this trial is to get immune system dendritic cells to express melanoma antigens and then attack melanoma after being injected subcutaneously. The way Sloan Kettering is doing this is to have the dendritic cells take up the antigen genes in vitro via electroporation, and then re-inject the mix back into the patient, and test for a systemic immune response.
Third is Mary Crowley, with a large Phase I trial with an enrollment target of 50 patients estimated to be complete in December 2016, though it will probably be converted into a Phase II trial at some point considering its size. This one is targeting solid tumors by electroporation to take up a combination of immune enhancing factors that, separately, have shown ability to enhance immune response but have never been tested together. Bringing up the rear is CROES, testing ANGO's Nanoknife in a large 200-patient Phase II trial for ablation of prostate cancer by electroporation. Data will be collected for three years after the last treatment, and completion is only estimated for 2019. Phase IIs have been transformed directly into Phase IIIs in the past, so if interim data starts coming in positive, the trial may be expanded to Phase III numbers and ANGO could reap the benefits of Nanoknife success sooner than one would think.
Corporate-Sponsored Trials
This leaves six active trials remaining. The closest to completion is OncoSec's Phase II for merkel cell carcinoma, scheduled for December 2013 according to clinicaltrials.gov. As the company closest to completing a Phase II trial, OncoSec is way ahead of the pack and December will be a big month for ONCS shareholders. OncoSec's approach is to electroporate cutaneous tumors with genes that produce an immune system protein called interleukin 12 (IL-12). The genes infiltrate the electorporated cancer cells, which then start producing the IL-12 and the immune system targets and attacks. In a previous Phase I trial on melanoma, interim results on 13 patients showed a complete response in five out of 13 patients, and six more with a partial response for a very impressive 11/13 or 85% overall response to treatment, and 39% complete response rate. OncoSec is also conducting a phase II for cutaneous lymphoma using the same treatment scheduled for completion in 2015.
OncoSec has zero debt on its balance sheet and an accumulated deficit of less than $10 million in over two years of operation. With a market cap of only $33 million, that puts ONCS in the very risky illiquid micro-cap region. But positive Phase II results along the lines of the Phase I could easily change that, depending on who's paying attention.
Bioalliance in France will be next in line with results coming in around March 2014. This Phase I/II is fairly straightforward in that it is testing the effect of a drug called plasmid encoding antiangiogenic metargidin peptide (plasmid AMEP), which inhibits cancer cell growth like a targeted form of chemotherapy. It will be administered in this 36 patient trial via intramuscular electroporation. This is not designed to induce a systemic immune response against cancer, but rather to kill locally.
March 2014 will be a big month for two more companies, Angiodynamics and Inovio. ANGO has the advantage of "subcontracting" its clinical trials to other entities that are testing out Nanoknife on different cancers. As we've seen, VU University in the Netherlands is testing Nanoknife electroporation on liver cancer, and CROES on a large 200-patient prostate cancer trial. ANGO is directly sponsoring a smaller 14-patient Phase I prostate cancer trial with Nanoknife estimated to be complete in March 2014.
ANGO has been breaking even for several years as a company licensing Nanoknife and other technologies, but it has not yet succeeded in pulling away. The stock is once again testing its $10 support zone, so if you want to bet on Nanoknife cancer success in March, now would be a good time to take a long position. The only caution is that the company has recently taken up significant debt at 40% market cap suddenly this year after being relatively debt free, so if these upcoming Nanoknife trials fail, it could spell trouble for ANGO.
As for Inovio, this company is further along the pipeline in Phase II with a goal of 148 patients, going after an electroporation delivered cervical cancer vaccine. This trial is quite large for a Phase II cancer trial and success could mean big things for INO. But keep in mind that its electroporation system has failed in the past with head and neck cancer, previous Phase III trials that were suspended.
The positives are that Inovio has zero debt. On the negative side, it has an accumulated deficit of over $230 million and a history of failure. Nevertheless, March 2014 could be a big month for the company. Finally, Scancell, a company on the London exchange, is conducting a Phase I/II study on melanoma which looks especially promising. Plasmid DNA called SCIB1 is being electroporated intramuscularly into melanoma tumors to stimulate T-cells to attack. This phase II trial includes 30 patients who took different doses of the immunotherapy drug. According to a December Scancell press release:
One patient in the 4mg dose group had a long history of metastatic disease and multiple tumour lesions present at the start of treatment (including several in her lungs), all of which decreased in size or disappeared completely following six months of treatment with SCIB1 except for one abdominal tumour nodule which increased in size and which will be resected. This "differential response" pattern is typical of immunotherapeutic agents and is the first signal that SCIB1 may be having an impact on the course of the disease as well as inducing an immune response.
The most investable companies pursuing electroporation cancer treatments in my opinion are OncoSec, AngioDynamics, and Scancell. OncoSec because of its very positive Phase I results and imminent Phase II for merkel cell cancer, zero debt, and high upside. Angiodynamics because of its consistent break-even stable finances and current testing of support, the fact that Nanoknife is already selling and approved for some uses, and its upcoming Phase II results for prostate cancer less than a year away. Scancell has some very impressive results so far and is seeking a buyer when phase II is complete by the end of this year. Given its impressive results for SCIB1, it may be picked up by a big player. If that happens, shares could skyrocket. Inovio is also an option, though past failure with head and neck cancer advises caution there.
