If I were throwing a Super Bowl party, I would make it very casual, as most of them are. I tend to entertain pretty formally, so I would have to check that side of my brain. Yes I would even use paper napkins! I would just use easy-to-carry bowls, plates, and also have small bowls for those who might want to have petite portions of many things. You can get those cool tasting sets at Pier 1 that come in lots of little sizes and shapes. I bought two sets and I use them all the time for all kinds of things. Remember to vary the heights of your food on your serving table. This can be done in the dessert section by using cake stands and platters with feet. Pull out your baskets, Ball jars, tin ware, crockery — all the fun things you use in summer are perfect for this event, too.
How to decorate for a party that is centered around food and the TV? First, I would have big balloons floating in the foyer in the colors of the two teams playing. They would have long streamers attached, so when we moved through, they would jiggle around. Each dog would have a bandana of the different team. (Good thing we only have two dogs.) It is important to put the food where everyone can dish up and get right back to that TV. So if you watch it in the basement, be sure to set up a table big enough to hold everything and bring down a trash can or two. Crock pots, warming trays, and coolers are your helpers this night, for sure.
My ideal Super Bowl menu:
•White bean and chicken chili
•South Carolina pulled pork
• Little warm buns
•Pigs in a blanket — don't judge me.
•Cheese board and baguettes
•Crudit�s platter with hummus and another dip
•Baked beans
•Giant salad
•Potato chips and dip!
•Uber cookies
•Pecan bars
•Old-fashioned chocolate cake
•Tarte au pommes — nice to add an elegant touch to all this fun
•Individual apple pies
In iced tubs:
•Sodas — preferably in glass bottles if you can find them. Cute and no glasses to wash. All glass is recyclable
•Beer — regular and some designer beers
•Pitchers of water
I try not to use bottled water. Seems like a silly expense in a country with clean water right in our kitchens.
I would love to hear your ideas of super bowl parties you threw or attended.
Q. What makes up a good cheese board?
A. "How can anyone govern a nation that has 246 different kinds of cheese?" —Charles DeGaulle
There are experts everywhere on everything, and frankly, they can be a bit tiring. I am not an expert on cheese, but I know a few "rules" and I know what I like. It is nice to pick a marble or wood platter to showcase your cheese. Slate is also very cool because you can write the name of each cheese under them. The idea here is to have something substantial yet plain enough to showcase the cheese.
How to choose between the gazillions —and counting — of flavors out there? There are a couple ways to present your cheese. One way is to pick a country and have several cheeses only from that country. Another way is to have a cheese or two from each animal — goat cheese, cow cheese, and sheep cheese. You could even have a true buffalo mozzarella. I am a big fan of sheep cheese, and since goat and sheep cheese tend to be the soft variety, be sure to have a hard cheese from the cow. A second way to is have a variety that you truly love and want to share with your friends. Be sure to have hard cheese as well as soft and sharp as well as mild. It is also great to incorporate a blue cheese. There are so many and you are a grown up now, so quit turning your nose up and try blue cheese.
Cheese is expensive, so knowing how much to serve is important. A general rule of thumb is approximately 2 ounces per person per cheese. Don't have too many, just three to five cheeses are enough. When you're at the market ask for samples of each cheese before you buy it. They should happily let you sample. You may fall in love with something new right there! Please serve them at room temperature. Even though you knew that, I felt I had to reiterate it, as it is my job to nag you. If you do not have a butler to carry the platter after dinner and present it to each diner, please label your cheese so your guests know what they are eating. You can get cute labels that you use markers to write on. You can buy stamped metal labels with names on them, and while cute, they are so limiting. You could carefully pull the label off the cheese and lay it beside each one; I find that kind of messy. Using place cards would work, or popsicle sticks painted with the names of the cheese. Just do something that fits the style of your evening and your platter. Lastly, you need something to act as a palate cleanser beside, or if room permits, on your platter. Fruit, nuts and olives are perfect.
Here is a little story. Last year when I was in Paris, I ordered le cheeseburger, a very unusual dish for the French. The waiter asked what kind of fromage I would like on it and without thinking, I said cheddar. He gasped and looked at me like I had requested dead rats on my burger. Right away, I changed to a French cheese, excusing my stupidity. Guess what I just read? The French are now developing a cheddar. I was just a little ahead of my time that night.

PONTIAC, Mich. - Grace Centers of Hope, one of the largest homeless shelters in southeast Michigan, is in urgent need of diaper donations for its Hands of Hope Childcare Center. In recent months, Grace Centers of Hope has provided more services to families with children, which directly impacts the number of children cared for at the childcare center. That number is expected to increase during the winter months as more families who are homeless arrive at the shelter to escape the cold. All diapers sized 4, 5, 6 would be greatly appreciated by the nonprofit organization and donations can be delivered to 35 E. Huron St., Pontiac.
The Hands of Hope childcare center provides care to infants, toddlers and preschoolers of parents who are currently enrolled in Grace Centers of Hope's One Year Life-Skills and Two-Year Aftercare Programs. Importantly, childcare staff is specifically trained to work with at-risk children who have suffered trauma and developmental deficiencies as a result of homelessness. Although not open to the community, the Hands of Hope Childcare Center cares for the children who call Grace Centers of Hope "home."
Monetary donations can be accepted at www.gracecentersofhope.org.
Giving hope to the helpless since 1942, Grace Centers of Hope is a leading faith-based organization, daily confronting issues of homelessness, addiction, poverty, abuse and spiritual emptiness. On any given night, Grace Centers of Hope provides transitional and emergency shelter to 150-200 men, women and children, in addition to serving more than 100,000 meals each year. Grace's $5.3 million yearly budget is maintained solely through corporate and private donors, and does not include any government assistance.

text: The 1916 Convention of the National Association of Real Estate Boards (NAREB) approved the adoption of the term as the official designation of an active member of the Association. In 1920 the District Court of Hennepin County, Minnesota, decided in favor of the Realtors in a case against a telephone directory publisher that had indiscriminately used the word in listings. The court asserted that the word "had never been used in any way whatsoever until so invented" and could thus be used only by those duly licensed by the National Association of Real Estate Boards. Until the Lanham Acts of 1948 changed federal patent regulations to allow protection for registered collective marks, the National Association fought and won sixteen cases on the local and state levels to protect its symbolic property.

Chris Gorman graduated with highest honors, with a double major in mathematics and physics, a Wabash College news release said. James Gorman graduated with high honors as a physics major. Both men were inducted into the Wabash College chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's most distinguished academic honor society.
Chris also won the George E. Carscallen Prize in Mathematics and received the George Lewes Mackintosh Fellowship for his graduate work.
Chris plans to pursue a doctorate in mathematics at the University of California-Santa Barbara. James will pursue a doctorate in mechanical engineering at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Though they finished at Wabash together, the brothers didn't start out there.
Chris enrolled there in fall 2009 to pursue his interest in physics. James went to Purdue University in West Lafayette to study chemistry.
Chris continued to tell his father, stepmother and James that James would really like Wabash. James transferred there at the start of the spring semester of his freshman year, and, after taking physics, decided to pursue a career in mechanical engineering.
Their similar interests meant the brothers took many of the same classes, the news release said.
"We always sit next to each other," Chris said in the news release. "It's not on purpose, but we just do."
They occassionally switched places in a large lecture class to see if the professor noticed, the news release said. When they asked him about it afterward, the professor said he knew but didn't say anything.
At Wabash, both brothers were involved with the Catholic Newman Center, Society of Physics Students and tutoring other students, the news release said.

Wednesday, June 7. A 'FLAGSHIP' play area is in danger of turning into a smelly health hazard if urgent action is not taken to provide toilets on the site.
Vandals have already wrecked the pavilion changing rooms on Boston Road recreation ground in Sleaford and town council officials say the yobs have now turned their attention to the toilet block, making it unsafe and unusable.
It too has been closed until the council can make temporary alternative arrangements. In the meantime children and adults using the park area and the tennis courts are having to do without any toilet facilities on the site - the nearest public loos are in Money's Yard and The Hub half a mile away.
Alison Gibson, chairman of Sleaford Tennis Club, which rents the tennis courts from the council, said: "You are going to get urine and excrement all around the playing field and hedges if something is not done. It will become like a pop festival with people relieving themselves everywhere."
She questioned why the council had spent money on new boundary railings instead of replacing the toilets.
Mrs Gibson said the club has had to cancel home matches and added: "Members have to get lifts from people in their car to use the loo in someone's house."
Town councillor David Suiter said desperate children were using a ditch as a toilet and it was becoming a major health issue.
The council's technical services manager John Coster said: "The vandals have turned all their energy onto the toilets. The skylights have been put in and the grills bent right back."
Mr Coster said the toilet block is nearly 60 years old and he questioned whether money would be better spent on new toilets closer to Boston Road. He feared that if they were repaired, they would again be vandalised.
The council says it is looking for a long term solution as soon as possible.

I know there aren't too many comic book readers here at PD, so I didn't think spoiler tags would be necessary.
Anyway, as the thread title reads: Batman is dead.
In Final Crisis #6, Batman, facing the end of the world, decided to make a "once in a lifetime exception" by shooting and killing Darkseid with a cosmic gun, loaded with a cosmic bullet. In return, Darkseid incinerated Bats with his Omega Beams as the shot was fired, a fate that Bruce Wayne knew and was willing to accept. His final word? "Gotcha." The final page of the comic is Superman, holding the gruesome, burnt out corpse of Batman.
Now, those of us who have been following comics of late knew that Batman would meet his "ultimate fate" in Final Crisis #6. However, we were constantly assured that Batman would not be physically killed, and yet, here we are.
Add to that that there was virtually no media hype surrounding this (unlike with the Death of Superman) and we have a rather bizarre situation, with an icon's death flying way below the radar. Hell, if a 5-page back-up story with Barack Obama in a Spider-Man comic can cause sales of that to shoot through the roof (it's already on its thrid printing), then surely the death of Batman could rival that, right?
Maybe it's because people know this won't stick, that eventually Bruce (and Darkseid) will return. There is already going to be a Battle for the Cowl to name a successor to the mantle in the meanwhile. Or maybe it's because we were told time and again that Bruce would not physically die, yet he did, and in rather gruesome fashion. However, there should still be a lot more hype for this event than this.
DC seems to have massively dropped the ball on this one, from lying about Bruce's fate, to over-hyping the ****-poor R.I.P. storyline (which, we were told, would tie into FC #6, but it doesn't; not even remotely), to forcing Bruce to break his one rule (killing) on his way out the door. Sure, it's cool that he was able to take out a freaking evil God with him, but still, the whole thing just feels poorly done when contrasted with, say, the aforementioned Death of Superman, which was both a media success and a well-written, heart-felt story.
So, what are your thoughts on the death of an icon?

I've never seen the show before
Dallas Clark heading for 'Criminal Minds'
March, 15, 2011 Mar 153:27PM ETEmail Print Comments4 By Paul KuharskyDallas Clark is going Hollywood, but he says Peyton Manning doesnt have to worry.
Clarks filming a cameo on an episode of Criminal Minds Monday, but promises his lines will not challenge Mannings famous Cut That Meat, chant from an old MasterCard commercial.
[+] EnlargeBrett Davis-US Presswire
The Colts' Dallas Clark got a part in "Criminal Minds" after meeting the show's story editor, Rick Dunkle, at a game this past season.You wont hear this chanted at a game, you wont hear this, said Clark, the Indianapolis tight end. Its very short and very limited, which is smart on their part just in case I really, really stink, then they can just cut me.
I spoke to Clark on Tuesday afternoon. You can read about his wrist rehab and lockout thinking in this news story.
He got the part in "Criminal Minds" after meeting the shows story editor, Rick Dunkle, at a game this season. Dunkle is a big Colts fan.
Clark will play plain clothes detective Austin Kent, a member of the San Diego Police Department who asks two important procedural questions during the Behavior Analysis Units (BAU) presentation of the UnSubs (thats bad guy to the uninitiated) psychological profile to local law enforcement.
Hell get paid scale, which is fun to say but shouldnt amount to a whole bunch for a bit part for a Pro Bowl football player.
Clark said hes become a fan of the show since meeting Dunkle. (I confess to taking in too many episodes in reruns.) I am curious how the 6-foot-3, 252-pound Clark measures up to Shemar Moore, who plays agent Derek Morgan and looks to have a football players size and build.
Clark is to film his part on Monday for an episode that will air in two weeks or a month. He was very funny in talking about his expectations, joking that hes hopeful he can turn it into some sort of call-back and recurring role.
Hes not compelled to ask Manning for any acting advice.
Ive seen enough of those, I think Ive kind of been able to catch a few tips here and there, so I wont have to personally ask him, Clark said of Manning and his extensive commercial experience. Im interested in asking the actual actors and getting feedback from the director on what direction my character is going.
I need to know, has he had a bad day, is he upset about something, is he jealous? I mean whats my motivation? Thats kind of what I am looking for.
Because the script just gives me the lines, and I dont know what angle I am coming from.

Our Campuses
|Medical Center
|Medical Center
By BILL GRAHAM The Kansas City Star
In January 1804, William Clark felt ill as he waited near St. Louis for a trek with Meriwether Lewis to the Pacific.
He had broken through ice the day before while trying to cross a pond on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River.
After the dunking, Clark wrote, "I returned before Sun Set, and found that my feet, which were wet, had frozed to my Shoes, which rendered precaution necessary to prevent a frost bite, the Wind from the W, across the Sand Islands in the mouth of the Missouries, raised Such a dust that I could not see in that derection, the Ice Continue to run & river rise Slowly - exceeding Cold day."
This year, as America celebrates the 200th anniversary of the Lewis and Clark Expedition from St. Louis to Oregon and back, history buffs will be able to track details and daily life along the trail largely because a University of Nebraska historian - Gary E. Moulton - labored two decades to bring the words of "the writingest explorers of their time" to life. Such as:
"Christmas 25th Decr:" Clark wrote in 1803. "I was wakened by a Christmas discharge (gunfire) found that Some of the party had got Drunk (2 fought), the men frolicked and hunted all day, Snow this morning, Ice run all day, Several Turkey Killed Shields returned with a cheese & 4 lb butter, Three Indians Come to day to take Christmas with us."
Such are the passages to be gleaned from The Definitive Journals of Lewis and Clark, a 13-volume edition edited by Moulton, 61, of Lincoln, Neb.
The authors are Lewis and Clark and four of their enlisted men on one of America\'s greatest scientific explorations and wilderness adventures.
Modern writers have mined phrases from expedition records for books billed as the journals of Lewis and Clark. But they used only excerpts, often focused mostly on the Rocky Mountains and the Far West.
Only Moulton has compiled every journal, map, field note and scribble on a scrap of paper into a complete and authoritative account of what the explorers wrote.
"Our goal," he said, "was to get every word of Lewis and Clark accessible to the public. We couldn't slight a particular place because we weren't interested in it."
Besides every word the crew wrote, Moulton has edited input from more than 100 consultants to provide footnotes following journal passages that give details about people, places and nature.
For example, Clark's entry for June 24, 1804, simply mentions passing the mouth of a creek 20 yards wide on the larboard shore with straw-covered structures in a camp.
But in Moulton's edition, we learn through footnotes that they are passing by the Little Blue River in what's now Jackson County, and past Shoal Creek to the north in present-day Clay County.
"The Countrey on each Side of the river is fine interspersed with Praries, in which imence herds of Deer is Seen," Clark wrote.
Meriwether Lewis was a fine writer with the most literary style, Moulton said. But for reasons unknown, he wrote little about the trip through Missouri, or else those accounts are lost. Perhaps he was waiting until the party reached more unknown territory to write. That's another reason most journal accounts focus on the West.
But the matter-of-fact writing style of Clark and the enlisted men did capture something of the Missouri and Kansas region, Moulton said. At times they could be poetic, even humorous.
In an entry for June 24, Clark wrote of spending the night alone ashore while hunting and then bringing to the boat a fat bear and two deer, despite "Musquitors Ticks & Knats very troublesome."
But during his time alone he wrote: "In crossing from an Island, I got mired, and was obliged to Craul out, a disagreeable Situation & a Diverting one of any one who Could have Seen me after I got out, all Covered with mud."
President Thomas Jefferson commissioned the exploration of the Louisiana Purchase in large part to seek an easy route to the Pacific through unknown territory. The Rocky Mountains proved that mission a failure.
But Jefferson also considered it a scientific expedition, and he ordered the keeping of journals. The early published accounts were incomplete, however, and the journals or related papers lay forgotten, some in safe vaults, others adrift in personal desks.
Over the years new writings were discovered, some as late as 1953 and 1966, Moulton said. A letter written by Lewis while on the journey was discovered this fall, he said.
Moulton was hired in 1979 by the University of Nebraska and the Center for Great Plains Studies to compile the first complete edition of all the Lewis and Clark journal materials. Various other grant providers and co-sponsors also have assisted.
Since 1983, he has published every few years. As a final installment, his own condensed version, The Lewis and Clark Journals, was published this year as a single volume separate from the definitive journals.
In a quarter century, Moulton went from being an obscure historian to international fame.
He's even leafed through the steno-pad-style journals that Lewis and Clark themselves wrote in. Moulton worked from microfilm copies. But sometimes only the original pages could help him decipher odd words or blurred images.
Holding the journals was a thrill, he said.
Now Moulton is one of the world's foremost authorities on the expedition, particularly the day-to-day operations. He's become expert in everything from frontier cartography to early botany.
That put him in the expedition documentary by Ken Burns that aired on public television. As America's Lewis and Clark bicentennial celebrations hit full sail from now to 2006, Moulton is in demand on the speaking trail, from the White House last summer to a recent appearance in Kansas City at a wildlife conference.
Lewis and the expedition's crew floated keelboat and pirogues down the Ohio River to the Mississippi River, and they took them upstream for a winter camp near St. Louis in 1803.
But many chart the trip as beginning in May 1804, when the party headed upstream on the Missouri River, then returning in 1806.
As the celebration continues, Moulton expects even more interest in the journals.
"They're what everybody who studies Lewis and Clark goes back to eventually," Moulton said. "They are a great literary treasure."

Women account for only about one-third of commercially focused positions, such as procurement and risk management, in agribusiness, and even a smaller percentage of middle to upper management.
And companies that don't have strong programs to recruit and retain women could miss out on the unique perspectives and diversity they bring.
"Businesses and other organizations are more successful when women play important roles," said Ilene Gordon, chief executive officer of Ingredion Inc., Westchester, Ill.
Her comments came during her Oct. 23 keynote address at the second annual Women in Agribusiness Summit.
A Fortune 500 company, Ingredion specializes in sweeteners and texturizers and had net sales of $6.5 billion in 2012.
Four of nine corporate officers are female, and the company requires at least one qualified female candidate be included for any open directors' positions, Gordon said.
The requirement is more about creating a diverse workplace than gender equality.
The company works to recruit and retain young talent, but doesn't have female-specific programs.
"We give all young people training," Gordon said. "We don't want to single out women versus men because all young people want to be developed. I'm not a big believer of just a specific program for women in a company because men who are young and ambitious want the same thing."
But those on a panel on recruiting and retaining women said they supported women-specific programs and shared their company's efforts to help women advance.
At Minneapolis-based General Mills, women comprise about 40% of directors. And the company works to ensure it has females in the pipeline being groomed for advancement, said Susan Kujava, director of industry relations, bakeries and foodservice division.
The company also sponsors a women's group as one of five inclusion networks to support cultural diversity, she said.
Stella Cosby, senior director of Total Awards at Agrium Inc., admitted the Calgary, Alberta-based company still has a long ways to go with only 16% women managers. But it has made large strides during the past few years, she said.
Agrium started a women's network that has since evolved into a mentoring program, she said. The efforts have proven so successful that this year 45 women were paired with mentors.
Baseline data
Much of the conversation during the summit referred to the recently released three-part survey, "Changing Demographics and Experience of Women in Agribusiness." It was conducted by consulting firm HighQuest Partners, Danvers, Mass.
The first part provided baseline data from 181 participating companies along the agri-business value chain.
The second and third parts, which involved 165 companies, examined women's attitudes and experiences as well as the existing programs for recruitment, retention and advancement.
According to the baseline survey, about 44% of the agribusiness labor force is women. But they account for only 30% of what the report called "commercially focused positions," such as procurement, production and risk management.
At the executive level, including chief executive officers, women hold only 21% of the positions in small companies and only 6% in larger companies, according to the survey.
On the other hand, women comprise 82% of marketing, administrative and human resources positions.

Romero exits early in return; bats stay quiet
Left-hander allows three runs, strikes out four in four-inning debut
TORONTO -- It was a whirlwind 24 hours for Ricky Romero, as he returned to a big league mound for the first time in more than a month after being demoted to Class A Dunedin.
The Blue Jays left-hander was sent down to work with his pitching mechanics, just a year after being the team's undisputed ace.
On Friday, his new form was on full display, and the results were mixed. A nearly flawless first three innings fell apart in the fourth, as the Blue Jays fell to the Mariners, 4-0, at Rogers Centre.
"I felt like the guy I've been working on this past month in Florida. I felt good, had some good stuff. Had a lot of live movement on the fastball," Romero said. "That fourth inning just got away from me a little bit."
In that inning, the 28-year-old lost the strike zone. He walked Michael Saunders to begin the inning, and then promptly served up a first-pitch fastball that Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager sent over the wall in right field to take a 2-0 lead.
Before the inning was over, Romero would hit a batter, walk two more, throw a wild pitch, and allow one more run on a single. He did not return for the next inning.
"I just lost control of where the fastball was going," Romero said. "I just felt like I was spiking it. One of the things we've been working on is pitching down in the zone. I think at times I was a little too down. I was trying to get it up and I couldn't."
That fourth inning marred what was otherwise a terrific outing.
Romero faced the minimum number of batters through the first three innings. The left-hander retired the side in order in the second and third, with the only blemish up to that point being a single in the first.
"I thought he was great. I really did," manager John Gibbons said. "He ran into some trouble there in the last inning, with some walks and he hit the guy, but overall I think he should feel good about that [outing]. It's something to build off of, because the beginning of the game I thought he was dynamite."
However, a night that was supposed to be about Romero's triumphant return became more about the club's inability to string together hits.
The Blue Jays managed only five base knocks, and they have only 16 over their three-game losing streak -- scoring only twice in those three games. Toronto managed to get its lead runner on three times in the game, and hit into a double play every time to spoil a rally.
On Friday, part of the Blue Jays' failures lay at the feet of Felix Hernandez, who was dominant from start to finish.
"We ran into Felix there," Gibbons said. "He's not going to give you anything. When he's on you just hope you shut them out."
Hernandez pitched eight shutout innings, allowing only five hits, walking none, and striking out seven. Only once did the 2010 American League Cy Young Award winner allow consecutive batters to reach base.
"His stuff is amazing," said Mariners catcher Jesus Montero. "I don't want to face Felix. I don't want to face him because he's nasty. Sometimes it's hard to catch him, like tonight, I dropped a couple balls. It's crazy, his talent is so great."
Hernandez's night lowered his ERA to 1.60 on the year, and the 27-year-old righty has a sparkling 0.60 ERA in his last four starts, allowing only two earned runs in 30 innings.
"There is really nothing he can't do out there on the mound," said Seager, who went 3-for-4 on the night.
While the Mariners strolled to victory after that big inning, there was some concern for the Blue Jays.
During the fourth, Romero was struck by a comebacker that hit his left forearm. When the trainer came out to attend to him, it marked the second time in that frame they visited the lefty on the mound.
Romero left the following inning, but X-rays were negative. He does have a callus on his throwing hand, which resulted in the medical staff's first visit, although Romero said it doesn't affect his throwing.
Despite the see-saw night, Romero was just happy to be back on the mound in Toronto.
"It feels good to be home," Romero said after the game. "I don't think I belong anywhere else other than here."

Tater Trot Tracker
La Serie del Caribe, Championship Game
Last night—and well into this morning—Mexico's Yaquis de Ciudad Obregón and Dominican Republic's Leones de Escogido battled in the championship game of the Caribbean Series. Los Yaquis defeated Los Leones, 4-3,to take the crown for the second time in three years. The game lasted seven hours and 18 innings and was only won when Mexico's Douglas Clark hit a home run over the right field fence in the top of the 18th.
For those who missed the Series, Craig Robinson and Eric Nusbaum have been chronicling the revelry over at Sports on Earth. This passage from the final report describes what we all missed:
But it is also a reflection of the atmosphere in Hermosillo, which even now hardly feels like it could have been real. Hermosillo is a city where even ordinary fans can show up to every day of a seven-day baseball tournament in a different version of their favorite team's jersey; where mixing and matching major league hats with Mexican team shirts is not strange, because the thing people are rooting for most is baseball itself; where people drive ten hours from Estado Chihuahua in snakeskin cowboy boots just to watch a single game.
Sadly, the highlights from this epic game are nowhere to be found online. Thankfully, though, ESPN has the entire broadcast archived for free. You can find it here (at least for now).
While we're watching the game, how about some tater trots?
Ricardo Nanita, los Leones - 23.75 secs.*
Karim Garcia, los Yaquis - 32.3 secs.**
With the game still tied at two in the top of the 14th, Garcia took the first pitch of the inning from Jailen Peguero over the center field wall. This was a blast. Garcia seemed to pause at the plate, as if wondering where it might land. When the ball finally cleared the fence six seconds later, Garcia and the rest of the crowd acted as if the Yaquis had just won the game. It took Garcia nine seconds to get to first, his arms raised. Things slowed considerably on the home stretch. Roughly 60 feet from the plate, Garcia slowed into a deliberate walk, hands pointed towards the sky and into the crowd. He even seemed to take an extra step in the batter's box before finally touching home plate. If you thought David Ortiz was slow heading into home plate, Garcia's 14th-inning blast will teach you otherwise.
What makes this tough is that there seems to be a bit of a satellite delay during Garcia's trot. No matter how many times I watch the video, somewhere between second and third, the video pauses. I've done my best to time the pause so I can adjust Garcia's trot time correctly, but it's very difficult to be precise. The delay seems to be 1-1.5 seconds in length. That makes Garcia's trot potentially as "fast" as 30.8 seconds, but with the imprecise length of the video pause and the possibility that the video resumed with Garcia a few steps farther down the baseline than when the pause began, I can't say for sure. If this were the official Tater Trot Tracker, Garcia's time would be inadmissible, but it's too fun to ignore today.
However you slice it, Garcia was monstrously slow around the bases. (For a list of other 30-second trots, see this post on Bobby Abreu's final(?) home run.)
Douglas Clark, los Yaquis - 21.24 secs.
Don't worry, though. I'm sure they celebrated plenty once the game was over.

text: Just sitting here thinking, What if the ABA had been able to get the TV contract like the NBA. Any one who remembers, the NBA really did not want any of the ABA, but was made to take 4 teams. I for one think it was a mistake. I never cared for the NBA and if it was not for the Pacers I still would not watch any of them. Those who are old enough to remember, know that for the first few years of the ABA the great NBA would not allow them to play. And when they did, the ABA was just as good and in a lot of games, the ABA was much better. But that is all history so I guess we will just have to set back and let Stern run everything.

Figures from the cult classic film finally on the way...
Amok Time (amoktime.com) announces that they are now accepting pre-orders on their psychotic action figure duo - "Tiny" and Shorty" - from the cult classic film Killer Klowns From Outer Space. The pair, acquired by Amok way back in 2008, have faced an uphill battle to see release, but they are now slotted to arrive this November. To encourage fans to lock in those pre-orders, Amok Time is having a 30 day sale where you can get each figure for only $21.99 (regular price $24.99) or get both for the discount price of only $39.99 (regular price $49.99). Great news for those looking to complete their collection (SOTA released just one Klown in 2006 - these two complete the trio of bloody bozos!).
If the Klowns turn out as good as Amok Time's Return of the Living Dead Tarman Zombie (another long delayed figure, but worth the wait: read our review HERE), fans are in for a real treat.

Get the Recipe
There's something wonderfully nostalgic about cereal-based desserts. I still remember my first taste of a Rice Krispie Treat. I was in kindergarten at a PTA meeting for parents and new students. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Since then I've discovered chocolate and peanut buttery treats like Scotcharoos and Chex Muddy Buddies. While Kix was a favorite cereal in our house growing up, I've never tried it as a dessert until now.
Flipping through my well worn copy of Betty Crocker's Cooky Book, I came across a recipe for Kix Toffee among the "Company-Best Cookies" recipes. Your "company" doesn't need to know that this recipe is stupidly simple. All you need is butter, brown sugar, Kix, vanilla, a pinch of salt, and some chocolate. Like a crispy, crunchy cereal-based version of my perennial holiday favorite Chocolate Crack, this is a recipe to break out when you've got that holiday party or cookie exchange and you're low on time. I promise they'll be going for seconds (and thirds).

EDITOR- I agree with D Aston's letter last week about potholes.
However, I do have to give the county council highways pothole team some credit.
Twice now I have rung up the council and reported issues with potholes on Grantham Road, Quarrington, near the roundabout and the surface seems to be breaking up there on a regular basis.
(I thought the highways teams came and did resurfacing work on that stretch quite recently).
But within a couple of days the pothole team has been out and filled in the dangerously deep holes.
This is good but I fear a proper patching job needs to be done as the surface is still quite uneven.
Also I went down the road from Nocton towards Bardney last week and teh road surface is totally breaking up and that is an important route across the River Witham.

Topic: VA, Vets & CC Statistics
I recently came across an abstract from the 2008 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium. The abstract, "Intrahepatic versus extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: Is there a difference in survival?", speaks to survival stats of cc patients from Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical centers. The study queried the VACCR database for all diagnosed bile duct cancer cases between 1995 and 2005 & determined that a total of 825 cases of cholangiocarcinoma (including EHCC & IHCC) were identified. The analysis appears to speak to an exclusive VA patient base.
The same author was part of another presentation at the symposium which indicated that between 1973 and 2004 (~30 yrs) there were 13,676 cases of CC included in the NCI SEER database. Per the SEER population, there were 8,057 cases of cc diagnosed between 1995 & 2004. Moreover, an astounding ~40% of all diagnosed cases from 1973-2004 occured between 2000-2004... Suggesting that either the cancer or the diagnosis of it is on the rise perhaps.
It's not clear if the SEER stats are mutually exclusive of the VA stats.

text: Show Hide image Politics 24 October 2012 Miliband is sneaking up on power without a plan for government If the Labour leader forms a government without permission to inflict pain or make enemies, he will quickly find Britain ungovernable. Sign up for our weekly email * If there is such a thing as a good booing, Ed Miliband got one at an anti-austerity rally in London on 20 October. The leader of the opposition was heckled as he told the assembled crowd that a future Labour government would also need to cut budgets. Jeers are never the soundtrack to a public relations triumph. At least the growls of dissent rebutted Conservative claims that Miliband went to the rally for some thumbsucking evasion of the financial challenge facing the country. Those Labour MPs who had feared that their leader's appearance at the march would hand a propaganda victory to the government were relieved. None of Miliband's antics has intruded much on voters' attention in recent weeks, since the government has been engaged in the peculiar practice of megaphone ineptitude – amplifying small mistakes into presentational disasters. It was, for example, quite a feat of media mismanagement to stretch an anecdote about the Tory chief whip being rude to a police officer into a month-long saga, culminating in a resignation. Guitar hero Miliband has had the freedom to work on his political stance like a wannabe rock star trying out stage moves in the privacy of his bedroom. His statements of intent to contain the deficit are the policy equivalent of air guitar – roughly the right position but not very revealing about what he would do if plugged into instruments of real power. This leisure bestowed on the opposition is a source of Tory MPs' fury with David Cameron and the No 10 machine. Most Conservatives are persuaded that a hint of encouraging economic news and a spell of competent administration would cause Labour's opinion poll lead to shrivel. Many shadow ministers agree. A shudder of alarm passes through the party when official statistics on unemployment or growth hint that sunnier times are coming into view, albeit on a distant horizon. Ed Balls will continue to argue that the coalition has delayed recovery and inflicted gratuitous pain. There is evidence that voters are sympathetic to that view. Growth, when it does return, is likely to be weak and its benefits will largely accrue to people already fairly well off. The squeeze on living standards for those on middle incomes and below will endure. Labour MPs still want reassurance from Miliband and Balls that there is a "fair weather" strategy in case Tory claims to have saved the economy from mortal peril look plausible as an election nears. "If it turns out their policies are actually working, it puts us in some difficulty," says one shadow minister. A parallel anxiety is that the Labour leadership's vague offer of austerity-lite masks a lack of willingness to think about ways to deliver public services on lower budgets. The opposition has to hold the coalition to account for its poorly targeted and hastily implemented cuts. Yet Labour must also beware of implicitly aligning itself with the view that the only problem with public services is their lack of funding. Awkwardly for Miliband, the playbook of public-sector reform ideas, developed when his party was last in government, is branded with the colours of New Labour and Blairism, which are now deeply unfashionable in the party. There are shadow ministers who whisper that, as long as no great fuss is made, those ideas can be revived under a suitably Milibandite "one nation" banner – but only after an election. Labour could campaign against the bits of the coalition programme that everyone hates, mainly the squeeze on the NHS, while discreetly acquiescing to more popular policies – welfare and education reform. Academy schools started out, after all, as Labour policy. "We can pretty much pick up where we left off in government," says one pro-reform frontbencher. Others are less sanguine. They fear that failure to signal reforming intent – pretending, for example, that the rationing of NHS services is proof of Tory malice towards the health service as if demographic and budget pressures were not also a factor – is dishonest. Voters will smell the deception. Labour could still scrape into power but then hit a wall of public revulsion as misty-eyed promises of change give way to more of the same. It is a scenario that one shadow minister describes as "Labour ending up as the Nick Cleggs of 2015". Senior Labour figures cite as a parable the steep fall in popularity of François Hollande since his victory in the French presidential election earlier this year. Hollande stood on an anti-austerity platform, cheered on in Miliband's office. He is now suffering for want of public money to put where his campaigning mouth had been. Miliband's allies have a well-rehearsed response to accusations of deferring difficult decisions. There is a rhythm to a parliament, they say, and an optimal trajectory for opposition movements to rise as incumbent governments falter. In other words, now is not the time for the leader to be boxing himself into rigid policy positions. Holding back an account of what public services would look like under Labour is thus meant to preserve flexibility. It could achieve the opposite effect if it locks the party into defending a romantic vision of the public sector as just a Treasury cheque short of perfection. Know your enemies Serial Tory blunders have afforded Labour space to work out what kind of opposition it wants to be. As well as thanking his luck, Miliband should consider why this has happened. It must be tempting to think that Cameron just happens to be congenitally incompetent. Another explanation is that some of the disarray expresses how hard it is to govern in austerity and how easy it is to make powerful enemies of public servants – nurses, teachers, police officers – when taking their money, pensions and job security away. Miliband imagines doing things differently. His plan involves promising epoch-defining change to the way society and the economy are structured without divisive talk of winners and losers – the cosy one-nation revolution. It is a feasible strategy for sneaking up on power but with a hollow mandate. If Miliband forms a government without permission to inflict pain or make enemies, he will quickly find Britain ungovernable.

Where is the like feature when you need it...
Good news...thanks. I'm only re-enabling one addon per game in order to isolate the problem (if there is one with the board). I'm starting with the simple ones that may be completely transparent to everyone (e.g. anti-spam addons) but if all continues to go well, we will soon get to the ones I suspect may be causing the issue (automatic post refreshing within a thread and liking a post).
If liking "liking a post" is wrong, I don't want to be right.
"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
Everything OK for everyone tonight? Things are fine on my end.
Not specific to tonight but I've noticed that the site doesn't list who is on the site anymore or who is reading in specific forums. Is that related to the changes?
"Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that."
I have re-enabled the ability to embed Youtube videos (using the "yt" tag), as well as our final anti-spam measure. The latter very well could be server intensive (I'm very confident the former isn't, which is why I re-enabled two at once), so if you have any problems before, during or after tonight's game, please post here ASAP so I know about it.
Once again, everything working fine for me. Once again, I really don't care how it's working for everyone else.
"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."

ADDABBO TESTIFIES BEFORE NYS ATTORNEY GENERAL REGARDING NEED FOR STRONGER REGULATION OF 501(c) (4) NOT-FOR-PROFIT GROUPS IN POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS
Points to Shady Election Mailers Sent into His Senate District During General Election by Mysterious "Common Sense Principles" Organization
During my recent election campaign, many negative mailings were sent into my district by an out-of- state group called 'Common Sense Principles' attacking my ethics and integrity," said Addabbo. "But it was unclear who these people were, where they were based, who supported them and why they had such a particular interest in my specific campaign. New regulations being proposed by the Attorney General would require more disclosure by these groups and ensure some needed transparency and information in our election system."
These groups, registered under the law as 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations, have come under growing scrutiny in recent election cycles for mailings, television advertising and other activities they have funded that tend to disparage certain candidates for public office. Their origins are often difficult to trace, their contributors are not a matter of public record, and it is unclear whether contributors to these groups are aware of how their donations may be used. They have been a fixture of the national political scene for some years and are now becoming more active in state-level elections.
Senator Addabbo's Testimony Before NYS Attorney General Schneiderman
Thank you for holding these hearings. I am here to support the Attorney General's proposal to require 501(c)(4) organizations to disclose their donors who give money that can be used for campaign advocacy.
501(c)(4)s are increasingly raising money in the name of so-called "social welfare" but are actually spending that money on defeating or supporting candidates. Our state's laws governing non-profits were not meant to subvert campaign finance rules, and were not meant to trick constituents and donors into funding political campaigns. Yet, without these regulations, that is just what they do – trick and mislead. Much has been said about the role of shadowy 501(c)(4) groups at the national level in our last federal election cycle. I can say first-hand that this problem has come home to New York State.
In my election, an out of state 501(c)(4) named "Common Sense Principles" sent mailers attacking me and my integrity. To this day, neither I nor my constituents know how they raised money or who funded them. The organization was traced by journalists to a post office box belonging to a Virginia-based political consultancy with ties to national Republicans.
In short, this was misleading -- and it sure wasn't the promotion of "social welfare." Why a group of people from Virginia were so interested in my election is beyond me.
Common Sense Principles further tried to hide the fact that they were electioneering by engaging in election-targeted issue advocacy. We all know the trick. Their flyers -- sent shortly before the election -- listed bullet point after bullet point of false ethical charges against me and then, at the end of this long and false list, urged voters, in small print, to call my office regarding a purported ethics bill that was not even introduced in the State Senate. The kinds of ads ran against me are neither "social welfare" nor "issue advocacy."I am glad your proposed regulation sees through this trick with your narrow and appropriate definition of election-targeted issue advocacy.
Common Sense's fundraising activity is also unknown and confusing. An average donor who receives a solicitation from Common Sense Principles may not know they were funding direct political activity. This would be especially so if they read the group's statement of principles, which includes generalizations regarding its intention to "advocate on behalf of the principles and policies envisioned by our Founding Fathers" and the need to "restore the fundamentalism that our government was built on.
Moreover, the evidence strongly suggests that the secret nature of 501(c)(4) funding is used to hide tax fraud. 501(c)(4)s, under Internal Revenue Service rules, are not allowed by federal law to predominately engage in electioneering. Yet, I see no evidence that groups like Common Sense Principles do anything else but engage in thinly-veiled electioneering.
In short, the Attorney General's regulation is needed in this state to address a real - and not hypothetical -- problem. It is to address real - and not hypothetical -- corruption.
I respectfully urge the Attorney General to adopt these regulations to fight donor fraud, the corruption of state and local elections in New York, and to ensure that citizens who do want to fund elections can do so by being provided with necessary information.

What's being said
I am deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Judge Jones. He was a distinguished jurist, a great person to know and a breath of fresh air to any trial lawyer who has had the good fortune to work with him. His opening and closing remarks while complete, were from his own mind, not merely recited from the Pattern Jury Instructions. His smile, demeanor and professionalism will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences to his family.
This is such sad news. Judge Jones was a true advocate for justice through diversity in the Court System. He will be truly missed.

Alterna Hemp Straightening Balm Reviews
Review subjectI had to use a ton of this product, since I have coarse hair. It was good, but based upon the price I paid for it, I won't be purchasing again. — 6 years, 2 months agoMissPurple | 611 reviews
gooddoes what it says — 9 years, 4 months agobrassa | 447 reviews
A great choice for styling fine hairI've found that straighteners either a) don't work or b) weigh down my fine hair, robbing it of movement. A dime-sized amount of this does what the bottle promises: weightlessly straigens my curly hair. It's not perfect--the straight style doesn't hold all day--but I continue to use it for its frizz-fighting properties. When I plan to wear my hair natural, I apply some of this to my wet hair and let it dry naturally. — 8 years, 10 months agoteshie | 396 reviews

A great, lightweight straightenerI have used this stuff off and on for years and I actually really like it. While there have been products that have come out more recently that I have graduated to that work better, this is still a great, lightweight straightening balm. It works well to smooth and straighten fine, frizzy hair. It's light, smells great, won't weigh your hair down but leaves you with shiny, straight, smooth hair. The bottle is pretty big, too, and will last you forever. — 6 years, 6 months agocherrypie | 196 reviews

If you want straight hair...u can give it a try. Alterna has a spray that is also a straightener , but it made my hair feel like it had a film on it. This worked much better on the straightening side. I am giving it a seven because it seemed to strengthen my hair while leaving it very dry and not as soft as some less expensive balms.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Nearly 20 years after the gunshot slaying of a rural Dixon resident, a third suspect has been transported from Mexico to face prosecution in Solano County.
Roberto Bojorquez, 46, was taken into custody by investigators with the Solano County District Attorney's Office on Friday and booked into Solano County Jail on suspicion of murder. Bojorquez is one of three men investigator believe to be responsible for the 1994 gunshot slaying of 21-year-old Pedro Ramos, who was found shot to death along a stretch of Allendale Road in rural Vacaville.
On Monday, Bojorquez made his first appearance in Solano County Superior Court. Prosecutors charged him with murder, but Bojorquez did not enter a plea after officials with the Solano County Public Defender's Office requested more time to check for any conflicts in representing him.
It is likely they will find one.
Last June, Sergio Gastelum-Parra, represented by the Public Defender, pleaded to voluntary manslaughter, kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon charges in the same homicide, according to officials. He was sentenced to 20 years, 8 months in prison.
Gastelum-Parra's brother, Remedios, also entered a plea at that time to one count of voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to six years in prison. He was represented by an attorney from the Public Defender's Conflict Office.
Ramos was found shot to death beside a canal off Allendale Road near Interstate 505 during the early evening hours of June 30, 1994. A passing motorist reportedly discovered the body and notified the Solano County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's investigators previously said it appeared Ramos had been shot multiple times with a handgun.
Ramos is believed to have been last seen alive in a Vacaville restaurant, The Burrito Palace, in a small shopping center off Markham Avenue in Vacaville, said DA's cold case investigator Ronald Becker in 2010.
The case remained a mystery until 2009, when cold case investigators identified Sergio Gastelum-Parra, a Mexican national, as a possible suspect and began extradition proceedings with authorities in Mexico. The arrest of his brother came shortly after.
Bojorquez was extradited from Mexico and arrived at San Francisco International Airport on Friday and was taken into custody. He remains in Solano County Jail without bail. Judge Peter B. Foor ordered him back to court at 1:30 p.m. on Feb. 11 to complete his arraignment.

Whether your plans for the future involve taking your research expertise into industry or continuing your research activities in the academic sphere, the Tagliatela College of Engineering will prepare you to meet tomorrow's challenges through participation in some of the most exciting, productive — and relevant — projects in the country.
Our programs are multi-disciplinary in order to give you the broadest foundation of knowledge. With the research possibilities at the University of New Haven, you won't have to wait to apply that knowledge — you'll use it here, in projects that stimulate your creativity and tap your innovative powers long before you take that first step into the world of industry or your next degree program.
In fact, we place such an emphasis on research at the University of New Haven that involvement in projects and use of our state-of-the-art equipment starts in the first year — uncommon in universities in the U.S.
In addition to class research assignments, there are numerous faculty-mentored research projects with professors who have made a name for themselves as leaders in their specific discipline. The projects take the form of independent study, laboratory research, and/or theses. They involve just a small number of students and often culminate in student presentations at venues such as the American Society of Civil Engineers, the CT Space Grant Consortium, and the National Council for Undergraduate Research Meeting on Capitol Hill and in having papers published in prestigious national journals. We strongly encourage our students to approach faculty members about these opportunities.
Our projects have received funding from federal and state agencies, private companies, and University funding for faculty and students through Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships.
Take a look at some of our projects through the links on the left. And remember, if you see a past project that interests you and wish you could work on it — you can! New students can pick up a project where it was left off and forge ahead with it.
