FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Northern
Arizona volleyball picked up its first Big Sky Conference win of
the season with a 3-1 victory over Weber State on Saturday night at
the Rolle Activity Center. The Lumberjacks defeated the Wildcats by
scores of 25-13, 21-25, 25-21, and 25-22.
"We worked hard and I think it really shows," said freshman outside hitter Lauren Campbell. "[This win] feels awesome."
NAU (4-7, 1-1 BSC) dominated play in the first set with a .500 hitting percentage, the highest mark on the year. The Lumberjacks kept an early lead and cruised to a 25-13 finish in that first set.
Weber State (1-11, 0-2 BSC) battled back in the second set evening the match at one set a piece. Behind Campbell and Kelli Dallman's 28 combined kills, the Lumberjacks outlasted Weber State in the third set and ended the match in the fourth with a come-from-behind match-clinching rally.
"I think we really needed this win to boost our confidence and get us going for the rest of conference," said sophomore middle blocker Katie Bailey.
Bailey totaled a match-high 10 blocks and the NAU defense stepped up at pivotal times throughout the match. Freshmen Anna Gott and Lexie Schroeder combined for 28 of NAU's 51 digs on the night and kept rallies alive when facing the hard hitting of Weber State's Chelsea Bair and Bethany Wray.
"We worked on it a lot this week and it helped," said Bailey of the defensive emphasis in practice this week. "We felt more confident going in."
Saturday's win was even more impressive considering the Lumberjacks were without star outside hitter Lexi Sullivan who will miss the remainder of the season after a knee injury on Thursday night in a 3-1 loss to Idaho State. Also, Chelsea Cheeley missed a majority of the third set and the entire fourth set after leaving the match with an ankle injury.
NAU was able to remain poised despite the absence of starters Sullivan and Cheeley who have been important players for the Lumberjacks in 2009.
"They are definitely two of our leaders, but we can rely on other people to step up and play their game," said Campbell. "I think everybody did that tonight and it shows we can come together and play through adversity."
The Lumberjacks next match will be at Sacramento State at 7 p.m. on Thursday Sept. 24. NAU's next home match is the following week against Northern Colorado on Saturday, Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. in the Rolle Activity Center.

Just installing a new tailgate and it has a lot of sideways movement within the trunnion-tailgate hinge. Is this normal? What's the fix?
perhaps.. a chunk of rubber in the hinge pocket... something like a section of a sidewall from a tire..or even something like i used yesterday... i was at the parts store looking for the rubber exhaust hanger straps.. i bought one for like 5 bucks.. it had a loop of rubber strip bolted to the swivel bracket.. i removed the bolt.. cut the strip of rubber into sections , used my gasket punch set and a lot of work to make the holes bigger and used it to replace the missing bed isolators on a friends pickup truck.. worked great.. will it work for your application???i don't know.. i liked the idea of the multiple layers of tire cord to prevent push out from under the bed mounts..you could also pickup some of the rubber motor mounts from a late 50s chevy truck or car..there are 2 sizes... #2521 and 2522... you might be able to slice and dice them down into the proper size you need to stabilize your tail gate.. i seem to recall that there are devices to center the tail gate on fleetside boxes.. perhaps i am wrong..

Kent gave themselves an excellent chance of winning by dismissing the visitors for only 155, but then slumped to 97 for six. The final four wickets were claimed quickly for the addition of just 22 runs. Most credit must go to Sussex's two Pakistani bowlers Mushtaq Ahmed and Naved-ul-Hasan, who shared eight second-innings wickets.
Kent needed 89 to win yesterday, but the two bowlers took just 8.2 overs between them to end the match.
Min Patel (two) was the first to go, putting Naved into the hands of long leg and Kent were 102 for seven. Three runs later captain Chris Adams showed quick reactions at silly mid-off to hold Niall O'Brien (10) off Mushtaq, who then beat Simon Cook with his leg spin to have him lbw. The last pair then added nine runs before Naved took a return catch from Amjad Khan (eight) to finish with four for 28 from 12.2 overs and it was all over in just half an hour.
l Lancashire have signed the Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds to replace Muttiah Muralitharan, who is on international duty. The 30-year-old Symonds will be available immediately, having helped Australia defeat England 2-1 in the NatWest Challenge one-day series.

The San Francisco Giants got a victory last night against the LA Dodgers 2-1 in a stormy night that was chock-full of great pitching! Despite both starters being late scratches, due to weather, they each came into the game in relief. Tim Lincecum pitched 4 solid innings giving up only one run and got his first win of the season, and the Giants first as well.
This was a badly needed win for the Giants who have high hopes for their club early in the season. It is vital that they begin their season with some momentum to keep morale high as all the experts have picked them to finish last in their division this year. More importantly, is that they establish themselves at the plate, where they have struggled all spring.
My best friend Todd was at the game in LA decked out in all his Giants gear for the rainy night. He sat pretty much anywhere he wanted as the stadium was quite empty due to a 1 hour and 14 minute rain delay in the top half of the 5th inning. But, he stuck it out, along with the other faithful, and got to see the Giants pull down their first victory of the season.
It was good to finally see some of the youngsters get a start last night! I hope we keep up the youth movement as I see it crucial to our success moving forward. Bill James claims that the best years of a baseball player's career are from age 25-29. So, we'll see if those guys get into the games for us.
Tomorrow the Giants travel to Milwakee to face the Brewers in a three game series. We're expected to see Jonathan Sanchez vs. Carlos Villanueva on Friday at 11:05 PT.
Lets go giants! And here's to the true fans who stuck it out in the stadium during the rain delay. Those LA kids would never do that for their team!
I am actually heading up to San Fransisco in a couple of weeks and I am a HUGE Giants fan! I am going to watch them DESTROY my home town team, "The Padres," and I am very excited! I got a great ace ticket promo code that helped out with the cost. I hope this helps out everyone else that's on a budget. Thanks for the great post!

Seven of the best CO2 cartridge cycle tyre-inflation systems appraised and rated
Fixing punctures by the roadside can be a gas if you're using a decent inflator — do yourself and your mates a favour by pumping up your tyre at the push of a button. Here's our pick…
They say two things are certain in life: death and taxes. For cyclists we'd add a third — punctures. The trick to reducing the hassle of flats is being prepared, so you can be riding again as quickly as possible, reducing the amount of time your mates stand around glaring at you. CO2 inflators are a cyclist's best friend in this regard.
Watch: Tubulars vs Clinchers vs Tubeless – which is fastest?
Compressed gas provides the potential to rapidly inflate a tyre, literally in seconds, saving not just time but heaps of pumping effort. Furthermore, gas canisters are small and lightweight, so carrying several is easy, either in a pocket or seat pack, so you needn't worry about getting more than one flat on a ride. OK, we accept there's a cost attached to indulging in this luxury but with a bulk purchase of replacement cartridges the price is greatly reduced — plus, we'd consider it's a safe bet almost everyone would happily part with those few quid, given the alternative, at the roadside.
The inflator head is the all-important component in transferring the compressed gas from the canister to your inner tube, and we've reviewed seven top choices, all using the same threaded cartridge.
What to look for
Wrap that canister
The metal canister will get to freezing point as it quickly discharges its gas — if you have bare fingers they'll get stuck to it causing severe discomfort! Either wear long finger gloves or better still put some sort of sock over it — it'll serve the double purpose of stopping the metal bottle rattling in your seat pack. Notice that some of these kits cover the canister as part of the design.
Reduced bulk
Like your bike you'll be taking your chosen CO2 pump with you on every ride. Not only will it take up vital space in your seat pack but you'll also have to drag the weight up and down every hill you ride. It therefore makes sense to get one that's as light and small as your wallet will allow.
Ease of use
It sounds daft but you need to be able to use the pump quickly and easily so it needs to be quick and easy to use. When you're cold and tired — the most likely time you'll get a flat — you don't want to spend time faffing with a complicated mechanism. A valve or push fit are therefore the best options.
Our 7 of the best
Lezyne Trigger Drive CO2 £16.99
At just 23g the Lezyne is almost the lightest in this test and is made from a neatly CNC machined 7075 aluminium and works only with threaded cartridges. In use it's simple. Just screw the cartridge in tight and then screw the head onto the valve. Pushing the head in then releases the air. We did experience a bit of air leaking from the head when not in use and although this was not ideal it was minimal and the inflator amply inflated the tyre.
Our score
Buy now: Lezyne Trigger Drive CO2 Inflator at Evans Cycles, from £15.29
Genuine Innovations Air Chuck Elite £17.99
The smallest pump on test, the Air Chuck is also the lightest at 16g. Made by the originators of the CO2 pump, it simply requires screwing in the cartridge and then placing on the valve before pushing the head to inflate. The valve fitting is secure and the Air Chuck pumps without leakage quickly and very effectively. A small rubber shroud covers the cartridge to protect your hand when in use, and really, there's nothing at all to fault.
Our score
10/10 Test Winner
Buy now: Genuine Innovations Air Chuck Elite Co2 Pump at Amazon for £19.99
Topeak CO2Bra Inflator £19.99
Get past its comical name — it is pronounced 'cobra' — it is the largest pump here but most ergonomic on test. A neat pressure indicator lets you know when the pump is armed and an easy push-up trigger gives a controlled release of gas. It's arguably unnecessary, but this inflator has a safety ring preventing accidentally puncturing a cartridge, that needs to be removed before use. A bit too bulky for all but the largest saddlebags, so this pump comes with its own frame mount and cartridge cover.
Our score
9/10 Recommended
Buy now: Topeak CO2Bra Inflator at Evans Cycles for £19.79
Specialized CPro2 £12.99
One of the three more minimalist inflators here, the CPro2 works in the same way by screwing in the cartridge and pressing the head to inflate. With a low 25g weight, the bright red tool should be easy to spot on a verge but comes without a cartridge cover. It requires a solid push past the initial movement to get the air flowing, stopping any accidental release of air once charged, and seals effectively around the valve core.
Our score
Buy now: Specialized Air Tool Cpro2 Microblast at Evans Cycles for £21
SKS Airgun £17.99
The Airgun, at 42g, is not overly heavy, and SKS has included a pressure control valve for a more controlled inflation. Only a slight twist of the control valve lets out a surprising amount of air so in reality it's either on or off.
A frame mounting for the pump prevents piercing the cartridge and a separate mount allows for a spare cartridge to be mounted to the frame, which is a useful precaution for all-day events.
Our score
Buy now: SKS Airgun CO2 Pump at Rose Bikes for £15.93
M:Part Micro CO2 £9.99
Part of Madison's in-house brand, M:Part is excellent value and this one comes with two spare cartridges to get you started. The steel body will be more than robust although not light at 50g. The control valve is a little light in use and maybe is a bit too light, but control is also fairly good after the first use. A foam cartridge insulator protects the hands from being frozen and for the money there is little to moan about.
Our score
9/10 Best on a Budget
Buy now: M:Part Micro CO2 inflator and two cartridges at 1st Gear Cycles for £12.99
Lezyne Alloy Drive CO2 £19.99
If Lezyne's Trigger Drive is too minimalist for you the belt 'n' braces Alloy Drive CO2 should satisfy. With a twin valve-compatible head and separate cartridge body it can handle both presta and schrader valves and the nicely turned CNC nozzle is threaded for both types and offers a secure fit. It uses the same spring-loaded release valve as the Trigger Drive. The 16g threaded cartridge lives in an alloy body which insulates the hands from the cold. Weight is still very reasonable at 40g.
Our score
Buy now: Lezyne Alloy Drive CO2 inflator at Cycle Surgery for £15
The standout inflator in this test came from the originator of the CO2 inflator, Genuine Innovations, with its Air Chuck Elite. It's small and simple to use and pushing the head to inflate gives a good, controlled flow of gas. The CO2Bra is the biggest pump in the test; its bracket means losing a bottle cage and it takes a bit more fiddling to set up, but it impresses nonetheless.
Its body protects your hands from the cold of a decompressed canister and the flow of gas is easily controlled giving an impressive performance.
Gas canisters can be expensive and the lowest priced pump, the M:Part, deserves a worthy mention as it is a solid performer and comes with two cartridges.

Re: Construction questions for a Ranger 26
The R26 is a wonderful boat, but this one sounds a mess... don't bother with it - keep looking.
Re: Construction questions for a Ranger 26
Unless you're looking for a father/son project type of thing, forget it. You can buy a nice R-26 for very few $thousand.
Re: Construction questions for a Ranger 26
The Ragner26 had a good reputation, but it sounds like what you are buying is a fiberglass hull which will need complete refitting. The bulkheads, etc. are plywood, and once they take moisture damage the only fix is to toally remove them and replace them, and that's a bigger carpentry project than most folks want to get into. If you really enjoy large cabinet-grade structural jobs...by all means. Of course, first you have to send away for marine grade plywood because it just isn't commonly found.
Corroded keel bolts? IIRC the R26 has conventional "cast in the lead" J-bolts. If the nuts on top are corroded they can be replaced. If the bolts themselves are corroded, now you have to drill into the lead keel and sink new ones--another non-trivial task. And possibly jack the boat, lower the keel, rebed the whole thing.
The deck is probably cored, with a wood core of some type between the exterior layers of fiberglass. If that's damp, the typical fix is to slice off one side, install a whole new core, rebuild the deck...You may be getting the idea this is not quick or cheap.
Sounds like a boat that was neglected and abused, bought by some poor soul who had no idea what he was getting into, who is now looking to dump it on someone else. The general advice in this situation is, as Monty Python said:
Unless you want to start a ships' carpentry school with some apprentices and spend a year of your free time and ten or twelve grand on the repairs.
Re: Construction questions for a Ranger 26
My first reaction is that it sounds like a tremendous amount of work and quite a bit of expense. Some of the stuff is trival, but some not. The bulkheads would be a big issue and I wonder if the deck and hull have been compromised by the bulkhead problems. Also corroded keel bolts could be nothing (cosmetic only) or quite serious and very difficult to fix. You could find a knowledgeable person to look at the boat with you, but my reaction from your description is that free would be too high a price for this boat.
Construction questions for a Ranger 26
Morning all,
I looked at a Ranger 26 project yesterday and I have many questions!
(If this thread needs to be moved or split, please let me know.)
The lines on the boat are very nice and the majority of the deck was in surprisingly good condition from an visual standpoint, the rubber moved freely, the standing rigging was in fair shape, and the main sail was in fair to good shape.
1.All the lockers had water
2.the winch was frozen
3.the head was straight piped to a through-hull
4.the main hatch didn't seal
5.the port lights were plastic
6.the interior bulk-heads were previously removed and replaced incorrectly (there's a two inch gap around the entire perimeter of both bulk-heads, and 7.the mast appears to be flexing the deck due to no support
8.keel bolts were corroded and in need of replacement
9.a stanchion was pushed through the deck and glassed over with no deck support
10. interior lining was stripped out to the fiberglass and the glass was translucent in places
11.the finish was peeling inside all the lockers
I'm thinking that this is more of a project than I'm willing to undertake, but in the spirit of informed decisions and learning for future projects....
Is it possible to add a holding tank to this boat?
Are main hatches usually/supposed to be weather-tight?
Can you put a port light that will open on a Ranger 26?
Is it reasonable to replace bulkheads on a Ranger 26 and add a steel mast plate? If so, how would you do it?
What do you do to restore a boat that is stripped down to the interior glass?
How do you replace keel bolts on a bolt-on keel? (They actually look more like they are integral studs in the keel.)
Is there a DIY fix for restoring locker interiors so that they are smooth and able to be cleaned?
Are cockpit lockers usually weather-tight?
If a rectangle has been cut out around a stanchion plate, what needs to be done to restore the deck to where it will support the loads placed on a stanchion?
Thanks in advance!

Is New York City A Plantation?
Some think so. But I'm actually more interested in the fact that the New York City "Sanitation Department" has a "Chaplain" on the payroll. Really?
And then we have some who claim they don't quite get it. Gee, I thought he could have written the speech himself. Man, oh man, you just can't make this stuff up. The next four years in New York should be quite interesting and provide lots of fodder for bloggers and comedians.

It might not have been pretty, but Louisville football picked up its ninth win of the year against Wake Forest on Saturday night. After trailing 12-0 at halftime, Louisville scored 44 unanswered points in the second half.
Brandon Radcliff rushed for 141 yards and three touchdowns on 11 carries while Lamar Jackson rushed for 153 yards and added 145 passing yards.
In the second round of the playoffs, Bullitt Central tried to slow down the vaunted South Oldham offense averaging over 40 points per game this season. It worked, but only for the first quarter. When the final horn sounded, South Oldham defeated Bullitt Central 37-0, its first shutout of the season and arguably the most complete performance of the year.
Several high school student-athletes from Oldham County signed National Letters of Intent on Wednesday Nov. 9, the first day of the fall signing period.

Runners from Oldham County made quite a statement at the middle school Cross Country state championship last weekend at Masterson Station Park in Lexington. The North Oldham boys team capped off their undefeated season with a state championship while the Oldham County girls team won their first state championship in program history.
Louisville had plenty to be weary of in their noon contest against NC State, considering their sluggish win over Duke last Friday and the Wolfpack's impressive performance, albeit a loss, to Clemson last week, but the Cardinals quickly dismissed any thought of doubt in their annual homecoming game.

20x24 Large Format Polaroid Alive And Well In Nyc
Posted 10 August 2009 - 05:01 PM
The legendary large format instant photographic process pioneered by Edwin Land and the company he founded has been rescued by a group of the film processs aficionados. A new studio utilizing the Polaroid 20x24 large format instant film cameras favored by leading professional photographers and artists from around the world has opened in Manhattan.
20 x 24 Holdings Executive Director John Reuter: When we learned that Polaroid decided to cease production of this one-of-a-kind film, we bought the remaining raw materials as well as the film production equipment that the Polaroid Corporation was intending to scrap. We even secured the last run of the film production. There is enough material to last many years.
The 20 x 24 Studio has one of the refrigerator-sized Polaroid view cameras, of which there where are only six in existence. This legendary Polaroid camera is located in a new studio in the Tribeca section of NYC, run by long time Polaroid master Jennifer Trausch, who is the Director of Photography at the 20 x 24 Studio.
We have been planning this rescue effort for more than three years, when Polaroid first made it clear that it would be exiting the instant photography business said Reuter. The courts approved our final agreement on Edwin Lands 100th birthday, a fitting conclusion. We are incredibly pleased to keep Dr. Lands legacy alive.
John Reuter has been involved with Polaroid 20x24 instant imaging for nearly thirty years, and it has never lost its allure and excitement. While digital technology has made great strides in the past few years, there is still no medium that can compete with Polaroid large format instant film, this is the purest form of photography, You're taking a photograph and making a print at the same moment. Only the Polaroid process can guarantee that the picture you see is identical to the subject that stood before the camera. The 20x24, a lovely, archaic piece of technology, preserves the one form of photography you can trust. said Reuter.
His view is echoed by some of the legendary artists who have used this process, Ansel Adams, Andy Warhol, Annie Liebowitz, and William Wegman, among others. The amazing people that have been photographed with this legendary process range from Michael Jackson to Martha Stewart and everybody in-between. That is just to name a few
Reuter points out many artists recognize that the tonal nuances produced by Polaroid 20x24 analog technology film are impossible to capture by digital means. Every exposure is unique, since there is no re-usable negative. It is also ideal for portraits as no other process can equal the life like dimensionality that ultra large format instant imaging can provide. This is the last chapter of a great historical process. Reuter concluded.
The projects website, located at http://www.20x24studio.com features images by 20x24 artists, information about studio portrait bookings, rentals, multimedia, history and more.
And now: 20x24 commissioned portraits are now being offered at studios in Boston, New York and San Francisco! See the 20x24 website for details.

After the reports arrived, World of Warcraft originator Blizzard Leisure stated that had no idea about in which just about any security ended up being going on. If it absolutely was, this sort of surveillance might have been performed minus the company's information or even agreement, Blizzard said.

Replacing weatherstripping on Marvin wood casement windows
I have "old" (1988) Marvin wood casement windows. The windows themselves are in good shape, but -- on most of them -- the weatherstripping on all 4 sides of the sash is crumbling and needs to be replaced. The original weatherstripping is anchored in a groove (kerf?), and is "easy" to remove. Does anyone have any experience replacing weatherstripping like this? (I'm even having trouble finding replacement weatherstripping. Even if I found, I don't see any way of putting it in the bottom and one of the sash sides without removing the sash itself. It seems to me that some sort of adhesive leaf or bubble weatherstripping would be easier to deal with...
Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
pulling the sash on a casement window is easy and you should be
able to get the weather strip from Marvin
Pulling sashes on this Marvin casement windows of this era is not "easy". That's part of the reason I asked for suggestions, by which I meant constructive ones, not condescending ones. I was hoping for an alternative solution.
All sashes are installed into a frame and, therefore, can be removed.
We do this all the time ....it's easy.:)
Sticking on a retrofit piece of weatherstrip that was not meant for that application is not the correct way to do this. You asked.
You have Marvin Windows. They are a great window. Don't mess them up with a botched weatherstrip attempt.
I would go to a Marvin Store and get advice. You can ask your local lumberyard that sells Marvin to get you in contact with a local Rep. He can instruct, advise you and probably get you parts....if you ask politely.

Fire district adjusting to less money
February 1, 2012
AVON – No matter the state of the economy, it takes about 15 firefighters to effectively battle a house fire, say local fire officials.
Starting this year, the Eagle River Fire Protection District has lost about 25 percent of its property tax revenue – virtually its only source of steady income – because of falling property values in the valley. Facing a drop of about $1.7 million from its $7 million budget in 2011, district officials last year asked voters for a property tax increase that would have kept the district's revenues at 2011 levels through 2019.
Before the election, district officials said the drop in revenue might result in firefighter layoffs and station closures.
Voters still said no.
In the wake of that election, money is still tight, but no one is talking about permanently closing any of the district's stations.
But district chief Karl Bauer said some stations may be closed for a day, or a few days, at a time. The reason, he said, is that the district has cut all overtime pay. That means there won't be people available to cover shifts such as when a couple of people are on vacation and someone else has to take a sick day, for example.
If that happens – or, more likely, when it happens – that would leave a station short of a four-person crew. Since responding to a fire starts with four people on a truck, district officials would rather have an effective crew coming from farther away than a short-handed one that's in the neighborhood. That means stations might close until enough people are available.
Bauer said deciding which station to close in those conditions will depend on everything from the time of year to the perceived risk in various communities.
But if a station is closed, that may leave the entire department short of the 15-person crew needed to fight a house fire. And if there are two calls at once, at least one incident will be left short-handed.
"We may have as few as 14 firefighters for the entire district," Bauer said. "We would have had 20 two years ago."
But that's due to staffing shortages resulting from the end of overtime pay. The district actually has as many front-line firefighters as it did two years ago. Instead, managers and administrative employees have been cut.
The firefighting staff has stayed stable for a couple of reasons – there's public safety, of course, but there's also the matter of a federal grant the district received a few years ago. The terms of that grant, which paid for hiring and training nine firefighters, requires the district to keep its staff stable. Otherwise, the grant would have to be repaid.
That means the district is required to replace firefighters who resign.
Ed O'Brien, the chairman of the district's elected board of directors, said the district will continue to work with what it has, paying for some operating expenses from reserve funds.
But, he said, those funds will only last a few years.
Then there's the matter of all the county's taxing districts facing another drop in property tax revenue in 2014.
Bauer said that next drop could be another 10 to 15 percent.
If that happens, he said, "We'll really be up against it."
But, O'Brien said, there are no plans at the moment to ask voters again for more money.
Fellow board member Jennifer Cartmell-Hays said no matter what the board decides over the next couple of years, the district needs to do a better job of telling residents about the work it does.
"Last year firefighters called every registered voter in the district," Cartmell-Hays said. "One person in Edwards said, 'Why are you calling me? We're served by the Edwards volunteer fire department.'"
Whether the district decides to ask voters for more money or not in the next couple of years, Cartmell-Hays said the board and the staff are firm in one belief.
"Times are tough – we've got to get through this," she said.

This study investigated the learning dimensions that occur in physical and virtual inquiry-based lab investigations, in first-year secondary chemistry classes. This study took place over a 2 year period and utilized an experimental crossover design which consisted of two separate trials of laboratory investigation. Assessment data and attitudinal data were gathered and analyzed to measure the instructional value of physical and virtual lab experiences in terms of student performance and attitudes. Test statistics were conducted for differences of means for assessment data. Student attitudes towards virtual experiences in comparison to physical lab experiences were measured using a newly created Virtual and Physical Experimentation Questionnaire (VPEQ). VPEQ was specifically developed for this study, and included new scales of Usefulness of Lab, and Equipment Usability which measured attitudinal dimensions in virtual and physical lab experiences. A factor analysis was conducted for questionnaire data, and reliability of the scales and internal consistency of items within scales were calculated. The new scales were statistically valid and reliable. The instructional value of physical and virtual lab experiences was comparable in terms of student performance. Students showed preference towards the virtual medium in their lab experiences. Students showed positive attitudes towards physical and virtual experiences, and demonstrated a preference towards inquiry-based experiences, physical or virtual. Students found virtual experiences to have higher equipment usability as well as a higher degree of open-endedness. In regards to student access to inquiry-based lab experiences, virtual and online alternatives were viewed favorably by students.

BURRELL TOWNSHIP: Officials look on bright side in gauging winter's burden
BLACK LICK — The bitter cold and snow-laden clouds that have brought mayhem to the region this winter do indeed have a silver lining.
Almost 70 percent more snow has fallen than last year, and the number of subzero temperature readings exceeds that of any winter in memory — yet there is a bright spot.
Get ready for this.
The cold has been so consistent that there have been no freeze-thaw cycles that usually leave mud and potholes in their wake.
"That's the only plus to it," said John Shields, of the Burrell Township board of supervisors.
At their monthly business meeting Wednesday, the supervisors assessed winter's burden on the township.
"We haven't crunched the numbers exactly, but we definitely are over budget for manpower and materials," said Supervisor Chairman Larry Henry. "The overtime has been high."
In the battle against the winter weather, Henry said the township crews still hold the upper hand.
With about 30 days remaining before the official arrival of spring, the township remained two steps ahead of the game with the delivery of two truckloads of road salt Wednesday, he said.
"The supply is not as good as we would like it to be, but we're doing all right so far," Henry said. "Fortunately we had enough stockpiled before the bad weather; we kept up with it and never ran out."
Long before winter began, the township contracted with American Rock Salt for 250 tons of road salt but has had 426 tons delivered so far this winter — including approximately 50 tons that arrived Wednesday, Henry said. The township has spent $28,000 on road salt this season.
Next year, Henry said, the township will reserve 500 tons, but hope not to use it all. Under supply contracting, the township is committed to buy 60 percent of its order.
He does not expect the township to have any difficulty putting 300 tons to use next winter.
In further good news for the township, the supervisors reported that Indiana Insurance and local agent Charles Houser have refunded a dividend of $11,523.12 to the township as a reward for filing few claims.
"This is based on the good overall claims experience as measured over the last three years," Houser told the supervisors in a letter accompanying the check.
Others like it were sent to seven other municipalities in Indiana County, for a total of more than $25,000 in good-customer dividends.
The township has its business auto, property, workers compensation and general liability policies through Indiana Insurance. Combined with policies for the other municipalities, the plans are bundled through EMC Companies and Best Insurance Group, which share their profits with public entities that have a good claims history.
"I can assure you that dividends of this type are hard to come by," Houser wrote. "I hope to be able to deliver another one next year."
The supervisors also reported that plans are under review for a new restaurant along Route 22 to replace the Pizza Hut/KFC that was heavily damaged by fire March 22. The building later was declared a total loss.
The design calls for Pizza Hut and Taco Bell to operate independent restaurants in a building of about the same size as the former one. The restaurants will run separately, unlike the hybrid Pizza Hut and Kentucky Fried Chicken eatery that used one kitchen and one dining room to serve both menus, the supervisors said.
The township's consulting engineer, James Garvin, of Blairsville, reported in a letter to the board that the developer's plan complies with the township's subdivision and land development ordinance. The plan next needs approval of the Burrell Township Sewer Authority and a sewer tap permit before work can begin.
The developer also owes the township a $750 plan review fee, according to the engineer's letter.
The supervisors approved agreements with Sunoco Logistics, of Harrisburg, which plans to excavate and replace pipelines along Lintner Road and Villa Road. Sunoco reported in its application that the work would require three days of good weather to complete, and should be finished by April 1.
In their public announcements, the supervisors reported that suppliers' bids on summer road maintenance materials would be opened at 1 p.m. March 13, and encouraged residents to support the Black Lick fire department's fundraising submarine sandwich sales this year on April 5, May 3, July 12, Aug. 2, Sept. 6 and Oct .4

I awoke restored and renewed on Friday morning quite replete with good cheer - partly because my tooth had mercifully not shattered in the night as feared after the rogue olive-stone-in-mezze incident of the previous evening, but more particularly because the sun was shining and bright weather was back on the menu! After a quick breakfast I packed up and decided to head south to the little lakeside town of Koycegiz. By mid-morning I had managed to get myself in a pickle trying to navigate around the supersized city of Izmir and ended up quite lost, though mercifully I managed to lose myself in an area with a lovely bakery/coffeehouse - not a bad result!
After this brief refuel I managed to find the right path out of the city and stay rubber side down despite encountering some pretty punchy driving styles. At one point I became quite hypnotised by a silver Volvo ducking and diving across the 3 lanes with a terrifying sense of urgency - in fact I was so engrossed, I failed to spot 2 little Herberts tailing me very closely on a scooter until one of them sounded their comedy claxon horn so loudly, I let out a startled girly scream of surprise and nearly jumped out of my skin! The young offenders found this very amusing and raced off into the distance laughing and slapping each others shoulders. To be honest after I'd got over the shock, I also had to laugh - that's exactly the kind of juvenile prank that I'm afraid to say I find very entertaining.
In any case after a delicious kerbside spot of Gozleme (a kind of pancake stuffed with a variety of fillings, cheese in this case) from a proprietor who also had a vast stall of pomegranates for sale as well as jars of olives, I set off for the final push down to Koycegiz. My parents had stayed there before at a little place called Rose Aparthotel, which they had highly recommended, so I decided to head there myself and check it out. I was greeted warmly by the owner, Gul, who showed me to my room and given that I was the only guest at the hotel, offered that I join her and her parents for supper. Gul loves natural produce and grows a lot of her own vegetables, so supper of lentil soup followed by a salad with baked leeks from her garden was a real treat. Gul then offered to take me on a walk into town to show me around and also to go for an ice cream at the best parlour in town (I confessed that this was one of my weaknesses!).
I stayed at Gul's Aparthotel for 2 nights, deciding that it was a beautiful place for a rest day particularly given the kindness of her hospitality and friendship as well as the peacefulness of this town. Staying in Koycegiz was like being wrapped up in a big hug - there is a very strong sense of community, of respecting relationships and giving to other people, which made me feel very contented. The stillness of the vast lake surrounded by the protective embrace of the mountain range seemed to mirror the atmosphere of the place. Even though there was a substantial language barrier, the locals did their best to interpret my gestures with patience and often a good deal of laughter (by far the most bewilderment was caused in the hardware shop where I tried to ask which of two potential tow-ropes was the strongest by pointing to my flexed bicep and then pointing to each rope - we got there eventually!)
On Sunday morning it was time to leave, so after our usual early morning walk into town to visit the bakery followed by a hearty breakfast, it was sadly time to leave. After a goodbye hug and the typically thoughtful and comforting news that Gul's mother had prayed for my safe onward journey that morning, I set off for Antalya. I arrived into the baking hot city by 4.30ish and entered the walled old part of the city with winding cobbled alleys heading off in all directions. Eventually I found the Sabah Pansyion and was made to feel like a local celebrity by one of the owners - he insisted on taking several photos of me with the bike as well as a video of me riding Suzi into the internal courtyard area of the building, saying "we have a beautiful woman on a motorbike staying here perhaps once a century, I must take a photo for our web page!". After sweating it out in the mid 30s through the hot streets of Antalya trying to find this place following a long day of dusty road riding, I could only conclude that the poor man must be visually impaired - and went for a shower.
After a banquet of a breakfast this morning, I decided that today was the day for a mega-miles ride all the way to Sifike (250 miles) to give me the best chance of getting to Iskenderun on Tuesday ready for my ferry to Egypt on Wednesday. The morning proceeded fairly easily and by 1pm I was ready for lunch, so stopped off at a little cafe at the side of the road. Shortly afterwards a red minibus pulled in and the driver was also seated for lunch. After a delicious plate of Gozleme, I set off once again Eastwards. About an hour later, winding through the mountainous tracks of the D400 road, I decided to pull in at one of the numerous roadside banana stalls and pick up some fruit. I'm normally not that big a fan of bananas but riding through valleys and valleys of burgeoning banana plantations was giving me a craving - the power of suggestion eh! After a brief gesture based chat with the lady on the stall and having been craftily up scaled from 3 bananas to 5, I paid and left, but not before the same red minibus drove past the stand, tooted the horn and waved. I assumed that the ladies at the stand must know him so thought nothing of it. A little later and back on the road, I spotted the bus again at another banana stand and this time we exchanged toots. Given the winding track I was taking my time and soon he'd caught up with me. After a few kms I suspected I was holding him up so pulled over to let him past. To my surprise, instead of racing off, he pulled up next to me and the side door slid open. He now had a passenger with a bicycle next to him, who was Turkish too but called out to me in English, "where are you going?", to which I replied "the direction of Mersin". He then said "ok, the driver is also going that way, he says if you have any trouble, we will look out for you". I was very grateful for the offer and thanked him, though within a few more kilometres we lost each other and I thought no more of it.
Several hours later at just gone five and with barely any daylight remaining, I arrived into Silifke and parked up, deciding to look for a hotel on foot. By chance at that very moment a young man cycled past me, asking "hey, do you remember me?". It was the passenger from the red minibus! He had been dropped off there by the driver very shortly beforehand and was also looking for a hotel - fantastic! We both decided we wanted somewhere clean with wifi, so he entered a hotel to negotiate while I looked after his bicycle. After securing a bargain price, we each cleaned up and went in search of some supper. He offered to introduce me to some more Turkish dishes, so we ate a variety of tasty dishes and had a good chat. It turns out that he has cycled all this way from Istanbul in 15 days down a similar route to the one I've taken, and is continuing on to Hatay (the furthest eastern point on the south coast). Today by chance he was picked up by the driver of the red minibus as he wasn't feeling well so took the lift from the driver who told him to look out for the girl on the motorbike. At first, he told me, he didn't believe that I could be a girl and told the driver he must have made a mistake, but the driver insisted he'd seen me earlier and to prove he was right, pulled over next to me (with the offer of assistance) so that his passenger could see for himself. He told me over supper that he was indeed very shocked to see that I was a girl, adding "I thought that I was crazy to be cycling across Turkey, but now that I have met you I can say that I have met someone even crazier!". I had to laugh, not least because he is probably right!
Tomorrow will be my last full day in Turkey…Egypt, be ready!

NSolve unable to find all possible roots
Dear mathgroup,
The equation below has three possible roots, namely: 0., 1.99, -1.99.
eq = x*(Sqrt[-13.319 - x^2] + 2.41*Sqrt[1.004 - x^2])
If we try NSolve[eq == 0, x], we get {{kx-> 0.}} only.
How to instruct NSolve to search for the other two roots of the above equation?
Thank you
Luiz Melo

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello and thank you for your question,
I am sorry you have not gotten an answer to your question sooner, it seems that your question was placed in the wrong category and only recently transferred to a health category.
There are no over-the-counter medications which will work the same way as Lexapro. Lexapro has no known long-term side effects, it does not cause dependency or addiction and it is one of the best tolerated medications used for anxiety.
I would certainly discourage you from stopping Lexapro and turning to over-the-counter herbal medicine. Herbal medicine also has lists of side effects that we do not fully know about since those medications are not FDA investigated. Also, there is no guarantee that it will help with anxiety.
If you are tolerating Lexapro 5 mg well, I would strongly encourage you to stay on that.
I hope you find this information helpful. Please feel free to follow-up with any other questions you might have.
If you are satisfied with the answer, please do click 'Accept' button so that I may get credit for my work.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 023062054X, Hardcover)
The Middle East has long been something of a mystery to Westerners, and in particular, the sexual mores of the region continue to fascinate. Arabs are often described as being in a state of Islam-induced sexual anxiety and young Muslims' frustrations are said to be exacerbated by increasing exposure to the licentiousness of the West. Here, Middle East expert John R. Bradley sets out to uncover the truth about sex in countries like Egypt, Syria, Morocco and Yemen. Among many startling revelations, Bradley reports on how "temporary" Islamic marriages allow for illicit sex in the theocracies of Iran and Saudi Arabia; "child brides" that are sold off to older Arab men according to ancient tribal traditions; the hypocrisy that undermines publicized crackdowns on the thriving sex industry in the Persian Gulf; and how, despite widespread denial, homosexuality is still deeply ingrained in the region's social fabric.
Richly detailed and nuanced, Behind the Veil of Vice sheds light on a taboo subject and unravels widely held myths about the region. In the process, Bradley also delivers an important message about our own society's contradictions.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:18:44 -0400)
Takes a deep look at sex, vice and exploitation in the Middle East and examines the hypocrisy of a region that is, on one hand, steeped in religion, and on the other, struggles with human sex trafficking and prostitution.

What Netgear wireless device is it?
Hey guys, I've been trying for days to configure my wireless connection. I've read all the tutorials on here on how to do it, and everything works up until one point: connecting.
I'm using a Netgear USB wireless device. In BT, it's registered under the wlan0 interface.
So first, I "iwconfig" to make sure it's up. It is. Next, I "iwconfig wlan0 ap <mac address>" to set it to my mac address. Everything's okay so far.
Next, I run "dhcpcd wlan0". It never really seemed to do anything...
Now that that's all set up, I really don't know what to do. I go to wirelessassistant, and it finds my wireless network (encrypted with WEP). I type in the WEP code, and it gives me the whole "connecting to network......connection refused" deal.
Any ideas?
P.S. My network's ESSID is LF. When I run "iwconfig wlan0 essid LF", it registers the command. If I run iwconfig again, it says my ESSID is "L". Weird?
Do a quick forum search for WG111. People have a lot of trouble with them. A lot.
I have one on my laptop. I eventually got it to inject (coming to the conclusion that it has to manually be set to the channel you want to inject on, which means anytime you run airodump or anything that channel hops you'll have to change the channel back) but never got it to associate to my AP correctly.
In the end, I just bought another damn dongle.
But do a search. I think I recall someone saying they got theirs to work, but not with WPA? I don't remember.
Thanks, man. I'll go search now.
I never could get my Netgear wg111v2 to connect to the internet...so I trashed it and bought me my good old Atheros chipped Airlink AWLC4130 from Fry's for 20 bucks. Best thing card I ever bought. I really don't believe the WG111v2 is capable of connecting to the internet at all.

text: UC would restart MSU's physician assistant program By Lori Kersey April 13, 2013 Story Share Lawrence Pierce University of Charleston physician assistant students Leann McKay tests the nerve reflexes of fellow student Caleb Jennings as student Chelsea Agnew and instructor Richard Bennett look on. Lawrence Pierce Instructor Richard Bennett leads physician assistant students in a class about nerves. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- As the first semester of the new physician assistant program at the University of Charleston ends, UC officials are making plans to restart a similar program once operated by Mountain State University.UC took over the Beckley and Martinsburg campuses of Mountain State when that school closed its doors in January, after its accreditation was revoked because of a string of leadership and program oversight problems.Students already enrolled in Mountain State's program will graduate from an accredited physician assistant program under the UC-Beckley banner.After that, though, if UC wants to continue the physician assistant program in Beckley, the school must get approval from the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant."I believe the administration is interested in doing that," said Dr. Josephine Kahler, UC's dean of health sciences. "We definitely want to meet the needs of the southern parts of the state."Kahler said UC hopes to get approval by 2017 to restart the physician assistant program in Beckley.UC started its own physician assistant program at the Charleston campus in January. It's the third such program in the state. West Liberty University in the Northern Panhandle also recently started a PA program, and Alderson-Broaddus College in Philippi already had a physician assistant program.Mountain State's program used to graduate 50 PAs each year. Now, West Liberty graduates 18 students and UC plans to graduate 30 each year, UC program director David Payne said."So between the two of us, we about make up the total being lost by Mountain State," Payne said. Also, he said, because physician assistants are in demand right now, there are many schools that are looking to start training programs in that field."The profession is so hot right now that there's going to be anywhere from 60 to 80 new programs that pop up over the next six years or so," Payne said.One reason for the high demand is the growing elderly population, Payne said. That population consumes about 80 percent of the nation's medical resources. With the elderly population set to double in the next 10 to 15 years, the demand for qualified professionals will only increase, he said.Physician assistants can do many of the same things that doctors do, but the training takes less time, he said. The average PA program takes 27 or 28 months after a student has achieved his or her bachelor's degree.After that, "they'll be able to start practicing right away, as opposed to the physicians' route -- four years of medical school and anywhere from three to six years of internships and residencies before they become board certified," Payne said.The jobs pay well, Payne said -- between $70,000 and $100,000 per year, depending on experience and specialty. UC's first cohort of physician assistant students started in January with 30 students.The next group, which will start in January, is already more than halfway full. Seventeen of the 24 available slots are filled and officials anticipate having the rest filled by early summer, Payne said."The new program is going very well," Kahler said. "We certainly have very talented individuals who are working with students very close and ensuring they have all the resources they need to be successful."Reach Lori Kersey at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1240.

Welcome back everyone!
One of the first things I learned in the EBM program, was the importance of good food on film sets. A happy crew is a productive crew and on the few shoots I've been on so far, it's made a world of difference to have great food! So when we found out we had a budget for feeding our crew, we decided that we should try and make it count.
Most of our classmates were planning on ordering various meals from Subway to Pizza, and we decided that since I live across the street that we would offer our crew a hot, fresh and healthy meal. So with that in our minds, and Sandra's Mexican background, we thought, why not make Tacos!
The night before the shoot, I took a trip to Superstore with my friend, and staircase builder, Mike. We stood in the ground beef section for a good 10 minutes trying to establish what the right portion was for each person, our first thought was a quarter pound, but after thinking of McDonald's quarter ponder, we figured we must be wrong. We settled on a half a pound and bought 10 pounds of ground beef… big mistake!
We got home and started to cook the beef, it took 3 large frying pans going at once, each producing 2 batches of ground beef! I poured everything in with the taco mix into a big roaster pan and stirred it all together and baked it before going to bed.
The next morning I brought the pan with me to the set, but to my surprise there was no oven! After setting up my craft services table I walked it back home and put it in the fridge with instructions for Mike to throw it in the oven before his interview…but he forgot.
I got home with a good 30 minutes to spare before lunch, thinking I have all the time in the world, and to my surprise the ground beef was nearly frozen in the fridge! I whipped it out of there, threw on my apron and got some big mixing bowls together. I took all of the ground beef out of the pan and spread it throughout the mixing bowls, and started re-frying it in the frying pans, dumping it back into the roaster that was warming in the oven! I got ground beef on the floor, all over the stove top and in the oven, with no time to clean it up I figured my cats could take care of it!
I rushed back to the studio with 5 minutes to spare before we broke for lunch. Sandra grated our huge brick of cheese while I cooked the tortillas and set up the table.
In the end the last minute scramble was worth it, our crew was incredibly happy with their lunch, and we had more than enough food to last the day……..and the rest of the week. After lunch was over and we were cleaning up, I took the tin foil off the taco pan and saw that more than half of the meat was left!! The EBM floor was treated to tacos for the rest of the week, and although they were thankful for that,…I'll know better for next time!
..And for the record, kitties tummies don't do so well with the spicy taco meat.

Apeldoorn by night
Maria van Oranje-Nassau
A mysterious pale woman with raven black hair stares at you. Her eyes seem to pierce into the depths of your soul as she scrutinizes you inch for inch. Beneath her cloak you can see her wearing some sort of ornate armor covered in wicked spikes. Faces seems to writhe at it's surface, crying out to you as a cold feeling settles in your stomach. As she slowly gets up it's almost as if the armor is wearing her, instead of the other way around. Although her features are noble, everything about her expression surely isn't. She snarls as she approaches you, dagger in hand. Suddenly Prince Alexander appears and she appears to relax a bit. She retreats to her chair, still eying you suspiciously.

With Time Running Out, California Is Gorging Itself on Foie Gras
Sales Ban Has Lovers of Fatty Goose Liver Eating It in Jelly Doughnuts, Cotton Candy
California will ban foie gras sales starting Sunday. Meanwhile, goose-liver lovers still have time to enjoy foie gras jelly doughnuts at Umamicatessen in Los Angeles.
Chefs there and around the state are counting down their foie gras days by putting it anywhere they can. Some plan foie gras finale feasts on Saturday night. Others offer foie gras in cotton candy, cheesecake, waffles and toffee.
"It's a very difficult thing to say goodbye to," says Michael Cimarusti, co-owner and chef at Providence, a celebrated Los Angeles restaurant. He plans to leave a gap on his menu in memory of the dearly departed, with the notation: "formerly a foie gras dish."
The foie frenzy harks back to 2004, when California lawmakers bowed to animal-rights groups and passed a ban on foie gras sales, giving restaurants more than seven years to get over it.
Before Foie Gras Ban, a Feeding Frenzy
To achieve the buttery flavor and velvety texture of foie gras—French for "fat liver"—farmers force-feed ducks and geese (typically a Mulard duck or Toulouse goose) to enlarge their livers, prying open their esophagi and funneling food into them. Activists call such feeding torture.
The 2004 law requires California to "prohibit a person from force-feeding a bird for the purpose of enlarging the bird's liver beyond a normal size" and bans sales of out-of-state foie gras, as well. Violators face fines of up to $1,000. It's still legal to possess and eat foie gras.
Livers from birds that eat in more-natural fashion will still be legal for sale. But chefs say they don't taste as good and really aren't foie gras.
A cooks' group recently formed the Coalition for Humane and Ethical Farming Standards, or CHEFS, to lobby lawmakers to rescind the ban. Members, like most foie gras farmers, say the feeding doesn't bother ducks and geese because they don't have the gag reflex human beings have; they swallow a fish in one gulp, for example. Ducks and geese have nothing to say for themselves.
The chefs group vows to keep fighting for a repeal.
For now, restaurateurs are making the most of the little time left to stuff foie gras down human gullets.
On the June 30 eve of the ban, Alexander's Steakhouse in San Francisco will offer a $185 eight-course foie-gras feast, starting with a "foiedka" cocktail—vodka in which the liver has soaked for 24 hours—and ending with a foie-gras ice-cream bar.
"I've sold more foie gras in the last couple of weeks than I've ever sold in my chef career," says David Bazirgan, chef at Fifth Floor in San Francisco, who is offering an all-foie-gras many-course menu this month that pairs the stuff with oysters, squab and rhubarb pie, among other foods.
The $8 foie gras doughnut at Umamicatessen has been "extremely popular" over the past few weeks, says Adam Fleischman, chef and founder. He injects jam in one side of the doughnut and foie gras mousse in the other, then rolls it in peanuts after frying.
At Craftsman & Wolves, a San Francisco bakery, Chef William Werner covers a chunk of foie-gras torchon with a chocolate cremeux that he inserts into chocolate cake batter to create his Devil Inside cake.
"A savory livery dessert doesn't sound appealing, but I just had to try it before the ban," says Cherylynn Norona, who bought six of them. "The bitterness of the chocolate offset the richness of the foie," she says.
Some chefs accept the inevitable. Celebrity chef Thomas Keller at Bouchon in Los Angeles recently replaced his foie gras dog biscuits with ones made from chicken livers.
Others are looking for ways to duck the ban. Daniel Scherotter, who owns Palio D'Asti in San Francisco, is checking with his lawyer to see whether he can legally give away—rather than sell—a serving of foie gras with a $20 salad.
Mr. Scherotter and others expect some restaurants to turn into "duckeasies," where diners can order foie gras using certain code words. They take inspiration from chefs such as Didier Durand, who says that, during a Chicago foie gras ban from 2006 to 2008, he served it at his Cyrano's Bistrot by listing it as potatoes. "People understood that roasted potatoes wouldn't cost $21," he says, but that's what he charged. After two years the ban was rescinded.
With last-minute demand, California's only foie gras farm, Sonoma-Artisan Foie Gras, is essentially sold out, says owner Guillermo Gonzalez. There is a rumor among chefs that the farm may move to Nevada to keep selling to foie-friendly states—and to Californians who might sneak across the border to get some. Mr. Gonzalez says his plan is "to reflect and consider our next steps."
Sales to California normally are about 20% of business at Hudson Valley Foie Gras, a New York farm. But with the ban looming, "We now have so much going to California that we can't keep up," says Marcus Henley, the company's operations manager.
Mr. Henley says he spent several years learning to make foie gras that wouldn't violate the California ban, visiting small farms in Hungary and France that feed birds a smaller amount. But he has no plans to try to sell it in California.
Then there is the faux gras option.
In 2010, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals offered $10,000 for the best vegan fake-foie-gras recipe. The winner was made from mushrooms, margarine and soy milk.
Chefs have tried stand-in livers from other animals, but nothing comes close, says Mr. Cimarusti, the Providence chef. "Monkfish liver, maybe, but it isn't as palatable to most people and it doesn't sound as good."
Melissa Watson, a 35-year-old from Belmont, Calif., recently had the "Last Foie Gras Hurrah" at Goose & Gander in St. Helena: a seared slice of the stuff served with berries. Before that, she had a multicourse foie gras dinner at Martins West in Redwood City, Calif., which started off with a foiessant—a foie gras croissant—and included foie gras wonton soup.
"If it really has to go, I'm OK with it now," she says.
