Students from across Cornwall took to the podium last week for the district finals of the Rotary Youth Speaks competition in this area.
This took place at Helston Community College and involved senior teams from Helston Community College, Mullion School, Truro School and Fowey Community School. A team from Falmouth School had been due to take part, but was forced to withdraw at the last minute due to illness.
A team from Truro School came first, speaking on "What causes comedy to offend?" The matter was discussed by speaker Tristan Latarche, with support from chair Chris Lightfoot and proposer Jack Harvey.
Helston Community College came second, after debating the subject "Happily ever after."
Speaker Rosa Higgs discussed whether fairytales gave a warped view of life and was backed up by chair Holly Bardell and proposer Milly Hayton.
In third place was Truro School's other team, who spoke on "Are teachers undervalued in today's society?"
Speaker was Connor Donnithorne, with chair Chris Smith and proposer Oliver Holdsworth.
These three teams will now go through to the regional finals.
Mullion School's team was also suffering from illness but managed to find a replacement team member. They spoke on the topic "Don't get me started on..." that revolved around the food, with Phoebe Jordan as speaker, Ivan Blight-Ander as chair and Tegan Glasgow as proposer.
Fowey Community School discussed cyber-bullying. Falmouth School had been due to talk on the topic "Mac attack!" with Emily Chiplin as speaker, Matt Galetti as chair and Will Harding as proposer.
The judges were retired primary school Vanessa Carpenter who has organised youth speaks for many years, BF Adventure chief executive officer Adrian Richards and Emma Ferguson, news editor at the Packet.
An intermediate competition also took place at the same time.

I wrote around 1500 lines of code and documentation today, all in Test::Builder for Parrot. Geoff Young wanted it, and how can you say no to a code request from him? Leo also seemed really impressed at the idea of running Parrot tests a fair bit more quickly than they currently do. Okay, 1500 lines isn't as impressive when I mention that it's PIR code, but it's a fair bit of code. 1500 lines of anything is good, whether code, non-fiction, or fiction.
In other news, Test::Builder for Perl 6 works completely. Okay, there are a couple of workarounds for missing features in both ports for Pugs and Parrot, but they both work.
Unfortunately, I haven't finished the PseudoPod to PDF converter for my day job, as I'm trying to write it well and maintainably (and creating pixel-perfect layouts is a tremendous pain, especially as I don't care, I just want to put something on the page.)
At least now I can bask in the glow of "Hey, I wrote something tremendously cool!" at OSCON next week, rather than promising to write something cool and then, well, not.

TROWBRIDGE middleweight Nick Blackwell is poised for a second crack at the British title in December when he takes on former Olympian Billy-Joe Saunders in London.
'Bang Bang' Blackwell and unbeaten Saunders will meet over 12 rounds at the ExCel Arena in Docklands on December 15, with the Hertfordshire man's Commonwealth belt also expected to be up for grabs.
The fight, promoted by Frank Warren, will be part of a bill that includes WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns, Swindon's Commonwealth light-middleweight champion Jamie Cox and reigning British and Commonwealth super middleweight title holder George Groves and is likely to be shown on Warren's BoxNation television channel.
Blackwell's trainer Mark Kent, from the town's Contender Gym, said: "We've known that this fight was on the cards for a while, but we've just been sorting out the agreements, purse and things like that.
"Nick has been wanting this fight for ages. We're both really big fans of Billy Joe Saunders. He's a fantastic fighter and, of the Olympians, he's the one we felt would go the furthest.''
The Wiltshire man, who turns 22 later this month, hasn't fought since destroying Georgian Mikheil Khutsishvili to win the WBC Youth Silver middleweight title at Trowbridge's Civic Centre on May 25.
Before that he has Leicester's Martin Concepcion stopped in four rounds to win the English middleweight title, also in Trowbridge in March.
Blackwell previously fought for the British crown last June when he retired in the fifth round against St Helens fighter Martin Murray in Wigan.
That remains his only professional defeat in 13 bouts, while southpaw Saunders, who is just over a year older at 23, has an unblemished record from 15 contests.
Saunders qualified for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, where he was beaten in the second round. He turned pro under the wing of Warren later that year.
Murray, who has world title ambitiuons, gave up the British belt earlier this week and with Saunders the mandatory challenger, it paved the way for the Blackwell match-up to be made.
Kent added: "Nick has been ticking over (in his training) up to now but now we'll bring the fitness back into it.
"It's another crack at it for Nick and he's a different fighter now (to when he lost to Murray). He's a lot stronger and a lot bigger. There's a lot more muscle and he adapts faster.''

You're working from the other side of the equation by assuming I have a set price for what tickets should be. I don't. Just adjust them down to match the added revenue. If that means tickets only go down $3 a ticket, then fine.
But, having said all that, my pipe dream is only in relation to the idea that ticket prices would ever go down in direct correlation to new revenue. Not that they'd be drastically reduced to an unrealistic number.

Dodgers honor moms, who witness feats in win
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers went to great lengths to show appreciation on Mother's Day.
Before Sunday's 5-3 win against the Marlins, the infield at Dodger Stadium was full of several of the players' mothers, taking photos with their sons and gathering to throw out a barrage of first pitches.
Scott Van Slyke, promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday and playing in front of his mother, Lauri, hit a solo home run to center field in the second.
"I was just smiling around the bases, because the first thing that came to mind was Mother's Day, and she got to see a home run," said Van Slyke, who added an RBI single in the seventh. "It was pretty fun."
Matt Kemp's mother, Judy, was able to watch the outfielder collect his 1,000th career hit with a single in the fifth.
"It being Mother's Day today, and us getting a good win and playing good, and them getting to throw out the first pitch is always special," Kemp said.
Brandon League came on to pitch the ninth inning, wearing bright pink spikes. His mother, Leigh, traveled from San Francisco to attend the game.
Andre Ethier was the only Dodger to use a pink bat and used it to drive in his 11th run of the season. His mother, Penny, was in attendance.
In recognition of Mother's Day, the Dodgers wore pink wrist bands and pink arm sleeves. The dugout lineup cards were also pink.

Get the Recipe
You'll know when I feel perfectly at home at your house. I'll come in...lay down on your couch...and take a nap. I'd like to say I can control it, but sometimes I feel utterly narcoleptic; slinking off the sofa and stretching out, usually on my tummy to avoid the snores. Had I known better, I would've seen it coming from when I was a kid. I was invariably the first one asleep at slumber parties.
I've noticed that this 'condition' most often happens when I've been well taken care of: well fed and properly hydrated. So my friend Liz was none-too-surprised when she shook up this simple and delightful cocktail from the ingredients that were within arm's reach, and found me asleep not long after sipping it, happily napping on her couch.
The botanical and herbaceous nature of gin complements the chamomile in this perfect-for-spring cocktail. Rather than sweetening with regular simple syrup, it calls for an easy honey syrup (just honey thinned out with warm water.) It adds extra interest to the flavor, latching in to the aromatic tea. I recommend trying this cocktail with whatever tea you may have left over in the tea pot from the morning, or whatever big batch of unsweetened iced tea you make and stash in the fridge. Take care of yourself and shake yourself up this drink. And then, baby, take a nap.

Astros statement on the passing of Walt Matthews
The Astros released the following statement today regarding the passing of Walt Matthews, 79, who served the organization as a scout, minor league manager and minor league player from 1961-2012. His 50-plus years of continuous service are the most in franchise history.
"We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Walt Matthews, who played a significant role in the Colt .45s/Astros organization for more than 50 years. During his distinguished career in baseball, Walt developed a reputation as one of the top scouts in the game with a keen eye for evaluating talent. He was seen as larger than life by his peers, as a mentor to many young scouts and as a great friend. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Walt's wife, Vicky, his entire family and his many friends throughout the game and beyond."
The Astros will observe a moment of silence prior to tonight's 7:10 p.m. game vs. the Washington Nationals.

The only bad thing is its a little bendy.
This review is from Heavy Duty EZD ™ View Binders 79193:
I do love AVERY's plastic binders and because they are typically cheaper than FANCY binders, I do usually end up buying them. But couldn't they be sold at a bit lower price? I do love the D-ring binder variety. It makes the product last a bit longer than the regular binder. But all in all, I think whether sold at the regular price OR a promotional price, the price needs to be reduced.
This review is from Heavy Duty EZD View Binders 79802:
I use these binders every day at work, and e use them for O&M manuals that we send to customers. They hold up well, are easy to open and the pages turn easily.
This review is from Heavy Duty View Binders 79695:
Avery Heavy Duty View Binders is the only binder I use for our customer informational binders. We send out hundreds of them to our customers every year. The "one touch" is wonderful when you are fillling binders with index tabs. It is so easy to open and close with one touch. These binders take a beating at our dealer locations and we are constantly adding material to them. So nothing short of a heavy duty binder will do. It wouldn't reflect well on us if the binder our customer goes through looking at our product is falling apart!
Highly recommend to those who want a binder that closes correctly everytime, can stand a beating, and has crystal clear viewing windows for our photo covers!
This review is from Heavy Duty EZD ™ View Binders 79193:
I have not had the first problem with this binder. Thought it was a little pricey at first, but now I know it was worth every penny!! I carry this binder everywhere I go, and it has held up like a champ. I love all the pockets and the rings do not come loose so your papers get snagged when you try to turn them. I would highly recommend this product.

I do agree

If this were the case, then there is no need to do anything.Mindstar wrote:As nobody has ever come back from Nibbana i guess we will never know exactly.
I`ve got my personal theory however that is related to science.
Especially on the idea that the energy levels in the universe never change.
Energy simply transforms into matter and matter back into energy, its the same thing in the end.
As a consequence you cannot simply disappear with no traces left.
Basically you have to transform back to the energy pool you have been initially created from into the state of the "uncreated".
An energy pool that is formless, informationless and "deathless".

Bhikkhu Pesala wrote:If you could hear, see, and smell, then you had not attained nibbāna, which is the cessation of feeling and perception.
Buddha does say that in the ninth jhana, that is- nirvana, there is no sanna, perception, but how Nirvana be "supreme happiness" if there is no feeling or perception in it? If one doesn't feel or percieve anything, how can one then experience happiness?
buddhismfordudes wrote:Nibbana cannot be imagined or described.
The state of final deliverance is called "Nibbana" in Pali and "Nirvana" in Sanskrit. Nibbana literally means the extinguishing of a flame. The word "Nibbana" used by the Buddha means the extinguishing of the flame of craving, the extinguishing of the fires of greed, hatred and delusion.
Zom wrote:This is because "experiencing" happiness (or whatever) is suffering, actually.
greenjuice wrote:Zom wrote:This is because "experiencing" happiness (or whatever) is suffering, actually.
Actually, this is a contradiction. If one is experiencing happiness, one is by definition not suffering.
Right at that moment. But because its impermanent, suffering is just around the corner.
greenjuice wrote:Right at that moment. But because its impermanent, suffering is just around the corner.
My question was about the happiness of nibbana.
Mkoll wrote:greenjuice wrote:Right at that moment. But because its impermanent, suffering is just around the corner.
My question was about the happiness of nibbana.
"Nibbana is to be experienced by the wise." There's no answer to your question, especially coming from non-arahants. And even if an arahant were to answer that question, the answer would be in words which you or I would interpret based on our delusional provclivities.
Which is why its best not to give attention to these questions.
Modus.Ponens wrote:I don't know why people jump to the conclusion that it is not nibbana. Not trying to start an argument; just saying that it's possible that it is a glimpse of nibbana.
Nibbana is the coolness resulting from the quenching of defilements, whether they quench on their own or someone quenches them through Dhamma practice. Whenever the defilements are quenched, then there is the thing called "Nibbana," always with the same meaning — coolness.
Any reactive emotion that arises ceases when its causes and conditions are finished. Although it may be a temporary quenching, merely a temporary coolness, it still means Nibbana, even if only temporarily. Thus, there's a temporary Nibbana for those who still can't avoid some defilements. This indeed is the temporary Nibbana that sustains the lives of beings who are still hanging onto defilement. Anyone can see that if the egoistic emotions exist night and day without any pause or rest, no life could endure it. If it didn't die, it would go crazy and then die in the end. You ought to consider carefully the fact that life can survive only because there are periods when the defilements don't roast it, which, in fact, outnumber the times when the defilements blaze.
These periodic Nibbanas sustain life for all of us, without excepting even animals, which have their levels of Nibbana, too. We are able to survive because this kind of Nibbana nurtures us, until it becomes the most ordinary habit of life and of the mind. Whenever there is freedom from defilement, then there is the value and meaning of Nibbana. This must occur fairly often for living things to survive. That we have some time to relax both bodily and mentally provides us with the freshness and vitality needed to live.
Why don't we understand and feel thankful for this kind of Nibbana at least a little bit? We're lucky that the instincts can manage by themselves. Conscious beings naturally search for periods that are free from craving, thirst, and egoism. We might call this natural urge "the Nibbana instinct." If there is unremitting thirst, life must die. Thus, infants know how to suck the breast and mosquitoes know how to buzz around sucking blood to sustain their lives until they are slapped to death. Our instincts have this virtue built in: they search for periods of time sufficiently free from defilement or free from thirst to maintain life. Whenever there is freedom and voidness there is always this little Nibbana, until we know how to make it into the lasting or perfect Nibbana of the Arahant. It isn't death, but rather is deathlessness, in particular, spiritual deathlessness. If anyone sees this fact, they'll personally experience that we can survive only through this kind of Nibbana. We don't survive just because of that rice and food that so infatuate people. We realize that everybody must have this thing called "Nibbana" and must depend on it as their lives' sustenance. So who can object to us talking about "Nibbana for everyone"?

Radius Arm Drop Brackets
Radius arms connect from the axle to the frame. When you lift your truck, the radius arm angle will be changed and cause your caster angle to be out. To correct this, you need to lower the point at which the radius arms connect to the frame. This is done using a radius arm drop bracket kit. (Note: Radius arms will not increase vehicles height, they have to be used in conjunction with a lift kit.)

Jackson given rest after marathon affair
HOUSTON -- Austin Jackson was out of the Tigers' lineup on Friday for the first time this season, a day after Detroit's 14-inning, 7-3 win over Houston at Minute Maid Park.
Don Kelly made the start in center field. Kelly has made four starts in left field and three starts in right.
The 26-year-old Jackson had started the first 27 games of the season in center field and had batted leadoff every game until Friday.
"He did not ask for a day off," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland. "He could play. He's played in all of them. It's not that easy."
Jackson, who had three hits on Thursday and entered Friday's action with an American League-leading 28 runs, is dealing with a sore hamstring.
"It doesn't matter how old you are, sometimes you get tired," said Leyland.

That's right, in this age of email, password-protected accounts and social media sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn, the U.S. government, of all sources, recently pointed out why it's important for people to leave instructions for how they want their online identities handled after death.
The government's blog at www.usa.gov suggests appointing a trusted relative or friend to act as your "online executor," taking responsibility to close your email accounts, social media profiles and blogs after you die. This could easily be an addendum to your will, assuming you have one.
Suggested actions that will help you write your social media include:
* Review the privacy policies and the terms and conditions of each website where you have a presence.
* State how you would like your profiles to be handled. You may want to completely cancel your profile or keep it up for friends and family to visit and share their thoughts. Some sites allow your heirs to create a memorial profile where others can still see your profile but can't post anything new.
* Give your social media executor a list of all websites where you have a profile, along with your usernames and passwords.
* Stipulate in your will that the online executor should be given a copy of your death certificate. He or she may need this as proof in order for websites to take any actions on your behalf.
I'd take it one step further and suggest that you also leave instructions for accessing your password-protected devices and accounts including computers, cell phones, and online banking accounts. The last thing you want grieving survivors to have to do is try and guess your account user names and passwords.
In case you've been procrastinating about completing a will and other such documents, here's a good motivator: Although wills aren't mandatory, if you don't have one when you die, the state will decide how your estate is settled.
Similarly, if you haven't filed financial and healthcare durable powers of attorney, someone else, not necessarily the person you wish, will make financial and healthcare decisions on your behalf should an accident or illness render you unable.
Here are a few things that could go wrong if you don't make your wishes known:
* Court-supervised probate could hold up your estate and result in costly fees.
* Because the state usually awards assets to surviving spouses, children and other relatives, your friends and favored charitable institutions could be left out.
* With no will, the state decides guardianship for minor children whose parents have died.
* Your preferences for things, such as life-support procedures and burial instructions, may not be followed exactly.
Key documents that can prevent these kinds of scenarios include a will, revocable living trust, financial and health care powers of attorney and a living will.
In this Internet era, your legacy will likely live on long after you die. Do your family a favor and spare them from having to deal with these issues by addressing them now.

Giants dominating in bunts by pitchers
SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants pitchers lead the Majors in sacrifice bunts, which isn't too much of a surprise. Their starting pitchers are decent athletes, so they know how to handle a bat. And third-base coach Tim Flannery, the team's bunting guru, hones the pitchers' bunting skills virtually every day.
But the margin of the pitchers' lead in this category is stunning. The Giants began Monday with 13 sacrifices, compared to just seven for teams tied for second, Miami and St. Louis.
Barry Zito leads the pitchers with five sacrifice bunts, followed by Madison Bumgarner with three. Ryan Vogelsong and Matt Cain have two each, while Tim Lincecum has one.
"Playing in a park like this where you know you're not necessarily going to hit too many home runs, you have to manufacture runs," Lincecum said. "You notice that pitchers happen to be in the middle of those big innings sometimes just by getting down a bunt. We can be a difference-maker."
The pregame batting practice that pitchers take isn't solely for their amusement.
"It's not like we're just getting work in," Lincecum said. "We literally go in there like, 'Hey, I do not want to be the guy who looks like crap.' It's another area of the game where you have to focus and really care."

Some holiday favorites will be plentiful this Christmas, but others could be in short supply.
The Cranberry Network LLC, Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., which markets fruit grown by Tomah, Wis.-based Habelman Bros. Co., expects to pack fresh-market cranberries through mid-December, said Bob Wilson, managing member.
"We're in outstanding shape," he said.
This season's fruit is colorful, high-quality and has a larger size profile than last season, Wilson said.
Habelman Bros. has extended its season in recent years to guarantee fresh-market Christmas supplies, Wilson said. The company should have enough fresh product to fill in some gaps caused by shortages elsewhere, he said.
One of those gaps is in Massachusetts. Carver, Mass.-based Decas Cranberry Products' crop was off by about 25% this season, said John Decas, board chairman. By the week of Nov. 19 the company had shipped the last of its fresh cranberries.
"It was a smaller crop, and the packouts were lighter than normal," Decas said.
Industry trends also are moving away from abundant supplies of fresh cranberries at Christmas, Decas said. While newer varieties of cranberries yield better, their shelf life isn't as long, making it harder to make fruit last until Christmas, he said.
In addition, more customers are buying sweet dried cranberries instead of fresh, he said.
On Nov. 20, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported prices of $33-34 for cartons of 24 12-ounce film bags of medium howes from Massachusetts, comparable to last year at the same time.
Spanish clementine volumes are expected to be 25-30% lower than last season, said John Lazopoulos, Spanish and Moroccan import manager for DNE World Fruit Sales, Fort Pierce, Fla.
That should equate to strong demand in the run-up to Christmas, Lazopoulos said.
"We look to have a very good December," he said. "We don't see it weakening as in years past."
Holiday promotional prices will likely be in the $4.40-4.75 range, Lazopoulos said. The bulk of DNE's customers will promote in 5-pound boxes, though 3-pound bags also will be a popular option. Some customers will sell both, he said.
California has a big clementine crop this season, Lazopoulos said, but not big enough to meet high demand on the East Coast.
While volumes from Spain are down, quality is excellent and the size profile good, Lazopoulos said.
The USDA reported prices of $5-5.50 for 5-pound containers of clementines 15-24s from Spain, up from $4.75-5.25 last year.
Potato movement should be brisk in the month leading up to Christmas, said Kevin Stanger, vice president of sales and marketing for Idaho Falls, Idaho-based Wada Farms Marketing Group.
"Volume's not as heavy as Thanksgiving, but it's a good month for potatoes," he said. "It will be a good opportunity to promote."
As for markets, which have been sluggish, Stanger is less optimistic.
"I wish I could say they'll go up, but I think they'll stay fairly steady," he said. "Demand is good, but there's not a lot of movement" on prices.
The USDA reported prices of $5.50-6 for 50-pound cartons of russets 40-70s from Idaho, down from $9.50-10 last year.
Some years California pomegranate shippers have fruit for Christmas, some years they don't, said Jeff Simonian, vice president of sales and marketing for Fowler, Calif.-based Simonian Fruit Co.
This year Simonian will definitely have pomegranates.
"We had a pretty good sized crop," he said. "I think supplies will be plentiful through Christmas and into the new year."
Prices should stay fairly steady in the run-up to Christmas, Simonian said.
Both interior and exterior quality were good in mid-November, he said.
The USDA reported a price of $22.25 for cartons of two-layer wonderfuls 20-24s from California, down from $26.10-28.10.

UPDATE: November 3, 2011
Warsaw's Frederic Chopin Airport reopened yesterday evening after crews moved off the intersection of its two runways the LOT Boeing 767-300ER that landed with all its landing gear retracted on Tuesday. LOT Polish Airlines began departures at 7:50 p.m., with a flight to Brussels. The airline said it expected to operate a full schedule today.
Warsaw's Frederic Chopin Airport remained closed Wednesday morning following the full gear-up landing executed by the crew of a LOT Boeing 767-300 from Newark, N.J. yesterday. None of the 220 passengers and 11 crewmembers suffered injuries as a result of belly landing, the first recorded by a 767 in which both main and front landing gear failed to extend.
In a statement, LOT attributed the incident to a central hydraulic system failure. After pilots alerted controllers of the situation, airport authorities put into place standard procedures for emergency landings at the airport, the airline added. Flight 012 circled for about an hour to burn off fuel while Polish Air Force F-16s scrambled to confirm the failure of the gear to extend.
After the 767 touched down at about 2:45 p.m., skidded down the runway amid sparks and small fires and came to rest, firefighters dowsed the airplane with fire retardant as passengers evacuated down the airplane's emergency slides. LOT said it dispatched a support team and had psychologists on hand to meet the passengers after busing them to the terminal.
The airline added that it had canceled all departures due to leave Warsaw before 8 p.m. today.
In a statement e-mailed to AIN, Boeing said it stood ready to assist investigators and that it had already sent a team to the scene to help with technical matters. "Landings with the gear up are very rare," it added. "During airplane certification, we evaluate a variety of non-normal landing configurations (e.g., one gear down, no gear down) through analysis to demonstrate that the airplane can safely withstand that emergency landing configuration, as we saw with this event. These evaluations are part of the certification requirements for emergency landings that apply to all large-transport commercial airplanes. We are not aware of any previous 767 landings with all gear up, and we will be working very closely with our customer and the authorities to understand this event."

GWENT produced winning dogs at Crufts in the NEC in Birmingham at the weekend.
An 11-month-old King Charles spaniel from Newport came first in the special puppy dog category on Saturday. It was the first Crufts competition for Maynorth Shades of Heaven@hooebarton, otherwise known as Rusty.
Rusty's owner, Margaret Hunter, of Mill Heath, Bettws, said: "I am very chuffed. I have been breeding dogs for about 40 years.
"I generally only keep bitches but he was just too beautiful to not take home with me. Rusty came second in his class at a Builth Wells show and then he wasn't placed in the next show in Manchester so I wasn't really expecting him to come first at Crufts."
Susan Bayliss, of Llanvaches, and Blaize, a seven-and-a-half-year-old miniature pinscher, came first in the veteran bitch category. The champion, whose Kennel Club name is CH Bullypins Blaize, has won eight champion certification competitions.
Ms Bayliss said: "We took two breeds, the miniature pinschers and the toy poodles, to Crufts this year. We have had five best of breed poodles in the past. We've been every year for about 50 years now. We have been breeding poodles from about 1958 and miniature pinschers for the last 16 years."
Deedee, a 20-month-old Shar Pei from Pontllanfraith, came first in the post-graduate bitch competition.
Owner Linda Walker, 60, said: "She was absolutely amazing, she adored it. She's never been so famous — I am quite proud.
"I have been breeding Shar Peis for 10 years, they are very good guard dogs. She has won three reserve champion certificates."
Chanah, a three-year-old Siberian husky, was very highly commended in fifth place out of 20 in her category of open bitch last week. The husky, who has one brown eye and one mixed blue/brown, has previously won best in breed.
William Hawkins, 52, of Cwmbran, said: "She's quite a character. Huskies are very strong dogs and can be quite hyperactive but she was brilliant.
"A friend of mine took her around the show. For the weeks leading up to Crufts she would walk on a special dog treadmill which helps use all the muscles."

LSU coach Les Miles is awaiting approval for a contract amendment that raise is pay from $3.751 million to $4.3 million and extend his contract, the school announced Thursday.
The LSU Board of Supervisors will get the amendment in front of them on Feb. 1.
"Les Miles is one of the most successful coaches in America and he has the LSU program in position to compete for championships each and every year in the most dominant football conference in the country," said LSU athletic director Joe Alleva. "He recruits at an elite level, his players graduate and he is a respected member of the community. We are proud he will lead the LSU football program for the long-term future."
Miles has been at LSU since 2005 and has more SEC victories than any coach in the league in that period, boasting an 80.2 winning percentage. According to the university, off the field Miles has seen success in his program as well. A total of 167 players have graduated and LSU trails only Vanderbilt for Graduation Success Rate in the SEC.
Miles' current contract expires in December of 2017; the new deal would extend him through 2019.

Give yourself a pat on the back.
According to the National Milk Drug Residue Data Base, you're doing a good job keeping drug residues out of the milk supply. In fiscal year 2011, a mere 0.021 percent of all truckloads of milk tested positive for animal drug residues. By the numbers, that's 671 positive out of 3.183 million samples.
That also is a decline of 70 percent over the last 10 years, says Jamie Jonker, vice president of scientific and regulatory affairs for the National Milk Producers Federation.
As of press time in mid-February, the fiscal 2012 report was not yet available. However, if the numbers follow trend, you can expect more good news.
"We've seen continuous decline since 1996," Jonker says. "It's a small decline each year, but over time that small decline becomes a large decline."
This is all well and good, but don't become complacent about residue prevention. Over the years, the sensitivity of drug-residue screening tests has increased, not to mention the regulations governing how drugs can be used in dairy animals. Nowadays, what was once undetectable is now detectable — and even grounds for a residue violation.
More sensitive, more risk
For certain drugs, an increase in the sensitivity of a milkresidue screening test is not a big deal. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has established "safe" or tolerance levels for a number of animal drugs. That level doesn't change, regardless of a test's sensitivity.
"If a residue is found in milk and it's below that safe or tolerance level, it's not a violation," Jonker says. "It's not a safety issue and that milk is acceptable for processing."
However, for other drugs, there is zero tolerance for residues in milk, which means any detectable level is a violation, Jonker says. For those drugs, greater testing sensitivity is a big deal because it makes residue detection possible at increasingly smaller levels.
Bottom line: The more sensitive a test is, the more critical it becomes to strictly follow withdrawal times. Always adhere to approved routes of administration, drug dose and treatment duration. Failure to do so can affect the rate of elimination of a drug and result in costly residue violations.
Milk residue survey results coming soon
Residue detection in milk will likely garner even more attention in the coming months. At press time in mid-February, the FDA was getting ready to release results of a milk-residue sampling project that began in January 2012.
The project involved the collection of 900 milk samples from dairy producers who had a cull dairy cow residue violation in the past, as well as another 900 milk samples from dairies at large.
NMPF's Jonker says the idea behind the sampling effort was to determine if the same practices associated with drug residues in cull dairy cows also result in drug residues in milk.
Watch for the survey results at dairyherd.com
Although residue violations continue to trend downward, the cost of dumping just one tanker of milk is incentive to keep doing better.
Sidebar: Residue violations at a glance
Here is a snapshot of the National Milk Drug Residue Data Base's Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report*:
• 671 (0.021%) of 3.183 million samples from bulk milk tankers tested positive for animal-drug residues.
• None of the 48,566 samples of pasteurized fluid milk and milk products were positive for residues.
• 395 (0.083%) of 478,533 producer milk samples were positive.
*Fiscal year is Oct. 1, 2010 to Sept. 30, 2011

Students understanding our new mission is an important part of the self-study process. We got the Resident Advisors from the residence halls involved at a workshop on October 9.
Dr. John Taylor from HLC visited our campus on October 15 and 16.
In early January we launched our poster campaign as part of the process of familiarizing the campus to its new mission. The first poster highlighted the three main words of the mission: engage, embrace, educate.
From January 28-30, the Student Senate collected student commentary on BSU's mission. They had a wide range of things to say about the mission.
On February 16, we held an All-Campus meeting. Karen Kirkendall from the University of Illinois, Springfield joined us to facilitate a discussion of the centrality of mission as part of the continuing accreditation process. Attendees generated ideas about the three emphases of our mission.
Starting in late February, we continued our process of outreach to students by meeting with a variety of students at Resident Hall Council meetings. We modeled these meetings after the RA workshop held in October, getting students to think about the nature of BSU's mission, why students should care about BSU's mission, and how the mission statement resonates with what happens at BSU. As part of this process, we distributed door knob hangers with the mission printed on one side and a "Do Not Disturb" message printed on the other.
At the Student Scholarship and Creative Achievement Conference held on April 8, we video-taped students as they talked about BSU's Mission.
In mid-April, we rolled out our second phase of the poster campaign. Our second poster contained a complete statement of the university's mission.
Prior to the start of Fall Semester, the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and The Center for Professional Development sponsored an All Faculty Academic Workshop to focus on curriculum. The associated Curriculum Fair had faculty showcase their program's course offerings to other faculty in order to foster a more integrated curriculum. Later that week, we invited Susan Hatfield from Winona State University to talk to us about assessment. Her enthusiastic presentation on Good Enough Assessment was inspiring to many who attended.
By September 23, the Criterion Committees were reading and evaluating drafts of the chapters of the self study. Feedback began to trickle into the writing team in the weeks that followed.
October 2, our fall in-service day was dedicated to the development of mission and vision statements for programs and departments. The Publicity Team launched the Essay Writing Contest on October 19.
On January 8, prior to classes beginning, Patrick Guilfoile, Interim Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, and Lisa Erwin, Vice President for Student Development and Enrollment, presented the results of the Noel Levitz Student Satisfaction Inventory and National Survey of Student Engagement to interested faculty and staff. Those in attendance were invited to analyze the data and identify concerns and questions that might be important for the Gaps and Trends Committee to consider.
HLC Steering Committee Co-chairs visited numerous departments to give an update on the HLC process and remind people of the nature of a site visit.
In early February, we began displaying the third and final version of the Mission Poster. They arrived just days before the Mock Site Visit. Just after the Mock Site Visit, the first issue of HLC Update was distributed to campus. It highlighted material from the Criterion One chapter of the Self-Study. The second issue of HLC Update was distributed to campus the next week. It highlighted findings from the Criterion Two chapter of the Self-Study. We distributed the third issue, focused on Criterion Three, on February 26 and the fourth issue, focused on Criterion Four, went out just before Spring Break. As the campus returned from Spring Break, they received the fifth issue of HLC Update, which focused on Criterion Five.

Playing a game known for numbers, Brushback Baseball's 12-and-under team posted plenty of impressive stats.
The local travel team recently capped a 56-24 season that included six tournament titles, three second-place finishes and the sixth spot at a prestigious tournament in Cooperstown, N.Y. Brushback ranked second in points among USSSA Majors teams from Northern California.
"The kids worked hard and it showed," head coach Kris Mims said.
Brushback notched 10 shutouts and was blanked only twice all season. The team won 23 games on the 10-run mercy rule and averaged 7.44 runs per game.
Brushback got off to a so-so start, returning from an October trip to Las Vegas with a 12-12 record. Several rainouts followed, according to Mims, and the team didn't play again until early January.
The team "took off" from there, the coach said, winning 44 of its final 56 games. Brushback went 5-1 in its bracket at Cooperstown – losing to the eventual champ – before splitting its last two games in the single-elimination playoffs. The squad belted 13 home runs in the tourney, five of them from Derrick Turner.
Turner topped the team in homers (nine) and RBIs (74) this season. Johnson Ku led Brushback in hits (86), runs (82), doubles (11) and stolen bases (56). Justin Nam pitched a team-high 61 innings, racking up the most wins (eight) and strikeouts (74) and the lowest ERA (2.93). Nate Geiger finished with the best fielding percentage (.983).
"Overall it was a great 12U season for Brushback Baseball," Mims said. "Let's hope that in 2013-2014 we will continue to build on that success."
The team began its 13U season last week.

Remembering Stan Musial, among the best in baseball history as both a player and a person.
"Here stands baseball's happy warrior; here stands baseball's perfect knight."
| Commissioner Ford Frick, on Stan Musial Day, Sept. 29, 1963.

The White Sox have a new GM, but the old one isn't going away.
In the midst of the World Series, the Chicago White Sox stole a sliver of spotlight for one fall afternoon with a front office shakeup that apparently actually happened a couple of weeks ago. The press release from the team announced the "promotions" of Kenny Williams and Rick Hahn, though in the former case the use of the term is questionable.
After the news hit, the White Sox held a press conference in the small auditorium where they have most of their notable events. Sports talkers in Chicago discussed the move on the radio. Bloggers weighed in en masse. The front page of the local sports sections had articles and pictures. On the national stage, the move was but a whisper relative to the Cubs' hiring of Theo Epstein last year, and by Saturday even in Chicago the whisper had faded and the spotlight had returned to the next Bears game. That's the reality of the White Sox in the local sports pecking order.

Wherever he goes, Ozzie Guillen attempts to be the center of attention. And we give him exactly what he wants.
Pure as th' expanse of Heav'n; I thither went
No one knew it at the time, but the feeling had been circulating among us for weeks: The Ozzie Show was drawing to a close, and this September night, an innocuous Monday pregame before a meaningless late-season clash between the White Sox and Blue Jays, was to be the final performance.

If you're fed up with overpaid and overprivileged athletes, the story of Jim Eisenreich might remind you why major leaguers matter.
In my story about Anthony Rizzo last week, I alluded to a personal rough patch that I've been going through. I got a lot of nice messages from readers, colleagues, and friends. Believe me, it was much appreciated.
The downturn largely kept me from the ballpark during June. Part of the reason for that was an incident just as I was falling into my funk, after a White Sox game in which Phil Humber was hammered and appeared to be in danger of losing his rotation spot. (He subsequently ended up on the disabled list.) After the game, the media hovered around Humber's locker waiting to grill him about his struggles.
June 28, 2012 8:45 am
If Anthony Rizzo fails to fulfill expectations, an excess of media attention will be partly to blame.
As one who ordinarily dislikes slack moments, I tend to plan things down to the second. It's a practice that often leaves little margin for error and sometimes results in small mishaps. Because as much as you try, you can't fully allow for externalities. One of those is the Chicago Transit Authority, not a sturdy peg on which to hang a daily calendar. The online tracker for the trains is very accurate, but you want to leave a buffer, because the CTA has its externalities as well.
The day of Anthony Rizzo's Cubs debut, I did not leave enough of a buffer. I know that it takes me about six minutes at a steady pace to walk to the Argyle Station, and the tracker told me I had eight minutes. Nevertheless, there it was pulling into the station just as I approached the entrance. I sprinted up the stairs only to find the doors sliding shut and an unforgiving train operator at the helm.

Inspired by the top-heavy Tigers and Dodgers, Brad investigates how well NBA-style roster construction works in MLB.
Since the NBA playoffs are currently going full throttle, this seems as apt a time as any to explore a basic concept of roster construction from that league to big-league baseball. Of course, many of you will disagree with this necessity of this because you don't like the NBA. Some of you will deny the very existence of professional basketball. That's okay. Trust me, this is a baseball article.
The Inside the Park series is about stories, but sometimes there in no particular story angle to what otherwise seems like a fun idea for an article. That's the case here. During the offseason, and after the Prince Fielder signing, I read a number of analyses of the Detroit Tigers that described their roster as top-heavy. Insofar in that there is criticism in that observation, the issue is that such a team is going to be more vulnerable to an injury to a key player. When Victor Martinez was injured, Detroit was able to throw the GDP of a good-sized nation Fielder's way, but such an option doesn't exist once the season begins. If Fielder or Miguel Cabrera or Justin Verlander were to go down, the Tigers would be perhaps be sunk even give their tepid competition in the AL Central. They would likewise be more exposed in the event of less-than-elite performances by any of the aforementioned trio. In fact, that may be happening already.

From Wrigley Field on Friday, Bradford bids goodbye to the Cubs' fragile former phenom, Kerry Wood.
Orson Welles used to say the key to playing a larger-than-life character was to give him plenty of advance billing before he actually appears on the stage or screen. Harry Lime becomes the most interesting character in The Third Man more than 50 minutes before Welles makes his dramatic entrance in the film. It was a little like that with Kerry Wood, whose ridiculous velocity, strapping build, and Texas background had him pegged as the heir to Nolan Ryan and Roger Clemens before we ever saw him in Chicago.
Wood was the fourth pick of the 1995 draft, taken behind Darin Erstad, Ben Davis, and Jose Cruz Jr., and almost immediately there were problems. Less than a week after the Cubs drafted him, Mike McGilvray, his high school coach back in Grand Prairie, Texas, used him in both ends of a doubleheader in the state quarterfinals. Wood threw 145 pitches in the first game and 32 more in the nightcap. Grand Prairie won both games.
May 10, 2012 3:30 am
Are teams asking the right questions about pitcher injury prevention, or are they just guessing along with the rest of us?
Thanks to Jerome Holtzman, inventor of the save, and Bruce Sutter, the first fireman used like a 21st-century closer, Chicago is quite literally the birthplace of the modern reliever. So it seems almost tiresome that in the Windy City, baseball news over the last week has been dominated by the vagaries of relief pitching.
Before last Friday's game against the Dodgers, Carlos Marmol sat hunched over in the folding chair in front of his locker, all by himself. No one was talking to the normally happy-go-lucky reliever, or even sitting nearby. We soon learned that Marmol was processing some bad news.

Is the Nationals' great right-handed hope Stephen Strasburg really limited to 160 innings this season? To find out, BP goes straight to the source.
It's Opening Day at the Friendly Confines, and another six-month party is on in Wrigleyville. Bill Murray is on hand to throw out the first pitch, but he's an improv guy, so he instead lights out around the bases and slides theatrically into home plate while flipping the ball to Kerry Wood. Beer, brats, and celebrities hamming it up—another Cubs season is here.
One guy is all business. Washington wunderkind Stephen Strasburg is getting ready for his first season opener at the big-league level. It's been a long time coming. If you want to see a concrete sign that the Nationals have turned the corner as a franchise, there it is toeing the rubber on the mound at Wrigley Field, six-foot-four, a right arm like Zeus, only with a wider repertoire and better command.

Adam Dunn's 2011 season was painful to follow first hand, but there are a few reasons for hope.
"He spent hours fretting whether to ask for help or wait it out. Some day the slump was bound to go, but when? Not that he was ashamed to ask for help but once you had come this far you felt you had learned the game and could afford to give out with the advice instead of being forced to ask for it. He was, as they say, established and it was like breaking up the establishment to go around panhandling an earful. Like making a new beginning and he was sick up to here of new beginnings. But as he continued to whiff he felt a little panicky. In the end he sought out Red Blow, drew him out to center field and asked in an embarrassed voice, 'Red, what is the matter with me that I am not hitting them?'"
| Bernard Malamud, The Natural
February 23, 2012 3:00 am
We all know wins aren't a good way to judge pitchers, but we'd miss them if they went away.
"My choice for the front-runner is Welch, but I know a lot of people say Clemens. I know what Clemens has done for Boston, but now is not the time to change the rules. The guys who won it the last three years won the most games and had good stats. If Bob Welch continues to win at this pace, and he doesn't get it, something is terribly wrong with the judging."
Bob Welch had just won his 20th game when his Oakland teammate was asked about the voting, and it was just Aug. 17. It was his 13th season and the first and last time that the 33-year-old Welch would win 20 games.

The Cubs finished fifth last season, and the White Sox finished third, but the moods of their respective fan bases don't mirror their showings in the standings
You don't really meet a serious baseball fan, native to Chicago, who roots for both the White Sox and the Cubs.
This is the only two-team town in which I've resided, so I don't know if there is a similar divergence in New York, Los Angeles, or the Bay Area. I have a Chicago friend who is a transplanted New Yorker—he loves the Mets but absolutely despises the Yankees and everything Derek Jeter stands for. (Winning?) My own mother lives in central Missouri and roots for both the Cardinals and Royals, which might not be quite the same thing but shows a certain generosity of spirit. Undoubtedly there are many in Chicago who root for both teams, who grew up in some neutral suburb or West side neighborhood and just like their baseball however they can get it. Those people, assuming they exist, are a decidedly silent minority.

" Unfortunately the other occupants of the room I were in were a group of friends which is fine and quite normal, sadly they were drunk and ill and when I mentioned it to the staff they didn't offer any kind of solution. They had clearly been ill in the room and the smell was unbearable so I let and didn't go back into the room until the middle of the night. "- Blow

- Maintain the 40 pound weight loss I have been able to accomplish through the South Beach Diet, with an increased commitment to exercising 4-5 times a week. (That means more exercising and less reading food blogs!)
- Drink more water and less soda. (Just do it. No explanation needed.)
- Be more diligent about not wasting food. (I have two plans to accomplish this. First, I'm starting a new blog feature called "Second Helpings" where I create a new dish from leftovers. Second, I have a college-student nephew who lives near me, and I'm going to start sharing leftovers with him in a more organized way.)
- Start another blog to feature South Beach friendly recipes and good cooking tips I find on other food blogs. (My list of bookmarks is out of control. Watch for my second blog, Food Blog Finds, coming in 2006.)
- Last, but not least, I want to seriously resolve to spend more time with the people I love. I'm always driven to create, produce, succeed, and I don't always take time to focus on simply enjoying relationships. (If I was listing my resolutions in priority order, this would be number one for 2006.)

Hello, Kaylin - I'm a new blogger; I discovered you through Sweetnicks. I too have had to change my eating habits, and hope to use a lot of your recipes! I've lost 12 pounds --though recently I've not tried as hard as I should. Until I get my digital camera from the office next week I won't be doing any photos-but maybe next week I'll blog about my pincushion plant. I hope some of my recipes will inspire you, too.ReplyDelete
Hi Kalyn,ReplyDelete
Here's wishing a fantastic 2006 to you and your lovely family! Your blog has been an inspiration to me (and I am sure to many others) for the enthusiasm, goodwill, and why, delicious food(!) it highlights. Keep the delectable posts coming in the new year!
Just passing through, wanted to say Happy New Year! Hope you have a great 2006 & are able to maintain all of your resolutions you've listed. Good luck on the new blog you're planning to start. Can't wait to check it out!ReplyDelete
Happy New Year! Finally, we are back herb blogging with a bit of cat madness in between!ReplyDelete
OK, I'm a little late, but got some fresh herb cooking in with our New Years' Eve celebration. The OMG Mussels features fresh parsley - they are definitely worth trying, and a favorite in our house. Link is here.ReplyDelete
I'm so happy you're taking the time to comment on Kalyn's Kitchen! I love hearing from people who stop by, especially if you're sharing feedback or asking questions about a recipe I've posted here.
I've recently changed my comment settings so people can comment without signing in, but you will need to check the box to show you're a live person, and comments on older posts won't show up until I publish them. Thanks for understanding!
And if you really like the recipe, Pins, Shares, Tweets, and Yums are always appreciated!
