COLUMBIA, Mo. — A monster winter storm took aim at a third of the nation Monday, threatening to lay a potentially deadly path of heavy snow and ice from the Rockies to New England, followed by a wave of bitter, bone-rattling cold that could affect tens of millions of people.Cities including St. Louis, Kansas City and Milwaukee could be hardest hit, with expected midweek snowfalls of up to 2 feet and drifts piled 5 to 10 feet. Even hardy Chicago could be in for its third-worst blizzard since record-keeping began. ''I wouldn't want to be on the road in open areas tomorrow night," WGN forecaster Tom Skilling said. "I don't think I'd want to be driving in the city either. The fact is people die in these things." Lesbian students enter to cheers CHAMPLIN, Minn. — Two lesbian high school students who fought for the right to walk together as part of a royalty court made their entrances Monday to the cheers of hundreds of classmates. Sarah Lindstrom and Desiree Shelton wore matching black suits with pink ties and held hands as they entered the Snow Days Pep Fest at Champlin Park High School in Minneapolis' northwest suburbs. The reaction came as a relief to the couple and school administrators. The district has been stung by criticism of its policies toward homosexuality and the alleged bullying of a gay student who killed himself. "It felt amazing," said Shelton, adding that she was too nervous to notice dozens rise to give her a standing ovation as she walked in with Lindstrom. Fla. judge strikes down Obamacare PENSACOLA, Fla. — A federal judge declared the Obama administration's health care overhaul unconstitutional Monday, siding with 26 states that argued people cannot be required to buy health insurance. Senior U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson agreed with the states that the new law violates people's rights by forcing them to buy health insurance by 2014 or face penalties. He went a step further than a previous ruling against the law, declaring the entire thing unconstitutional if the insurance requirement does not hold up. Attorneys for the administration had argued that the states did not have standing to challenge the law and that the case should be dismissed. Model to pay for Reno crash LAS VEGAS — A fashion model pleaded no contest Monday in Reno to careless driving and agreed to pay damages after crashing a rented motorhome into the city's landmark downtown arch. Rosemary Vandenbroucke, 28, of Hong Kong agreed to pay $385 in fines and $985 for damage to the "Biggest Little City in the World" arch and a fire hydrant, said Dan Wong, criminal division chief for the city attorney's office. Reno Municipal Court Judge Jay Dilworth accepted the plea with no other penalties, Wong said. Nobody was injured in the crash, but authorities said the 40-foot motorhome was substantially damaged. Vandenbroucke was originally charged with three misdemeanors — vehicular hit-and-run, failure to maintain insurance and making an improper right turn. The Labor Day crash occurred a day after the model was arrested at the Burning Man counterculture festival and charged with possession of a controlled substance. 6 teens accused of bullying UPPER DARBY, Pa. — Police in a Philadelphia suburb say they have arrested six teenagers and are seeking a seventh in connection with an assault in which a 13-year-old student was kidnapped and hung from a fence post, but not seriously hurt. Upper Darby Township Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said Monday's arrests at Upper Darby High School are related to an assault that happened Jan. 11 in an apartment complex courtyard. Chitwood said the suspects, ages 13 to 17, kidnapped the victim on his way home from school, dragged him through the snow, stuffed him in a tree and hung him by his jacket from a 7-foot-high fence post. Plane lands on I-80 in N.J. HACKENSACK, N.J. — Authorities said a federally owned plane being used for local homeland security training made an emergency landing on Interstate 80 in northern New Jersey. The Bergen County prosecutor's office said the plane landed on the eastbound express lanes around 2:30 p.m. Monday after a fuel line malfunction.

What Should You Do If You are Injured?
A potential recovery can be challenging, though not impossible. It is essential to hire a personal injury lawyer who knows how to handle such cases. Practical matters such as working with local attorneys, determining the appropriate statute of limitations, and filing a lawsuit in the correct jurisdiction must be handled expeditiously after your injury.
If you've been injured while on vacation, please read The Accidental Tourist: Navigating Legal Pitfalls in Travel Injury Litigation published in The Legal Intelligencer by Anapol Schwartz attorneys Mark J.

So, should we start collecting our tears and send them into a lab to get their chemical makeup? If so, does anyone want to offer their lab address to receive these yummy excretions?View Thread
As far as the tears when using the bathroom, it is probably some quirky genetic trait just like some people can curl thier tongues and some people sneeze when they look at a bright light."
I looked it up. It talks about pain, which is not applicable to this post's topic. The urinary tract is used while peeing, but complications with it that cause pain are irrelevant to this topic not going to explain the phenomenon of tearing while voiding. Tearing happens with or without complications.View Thread

Wildersmith July 20Fred Smith-
Mother Nature turned on those of us residing up the Gunflint this past week.
Wildersmith June 29Fred Smith-
As the chapter on June is closing, we saw Mother Nature do a little muscle flexing during the past week.
Wildersmith June 22Fred Smith-
The second half of June has gotten off to a glorious wet start. The upper Trail saw choking dust turn to mud with a fine drop from the heavens last Saturday night.
Wildersmith June 15Fred Smith-
"June is bustin' out all over" as the old tune goes. It was never more evident than the past weekend as temperatures soared into the miserable category up the Trail.
Wildersmith June 8Fred Smith-
The faucet has been turned off by Mother Nature for several days. We are drying out along the Trail.
Wildersmith June 1Fred Smith-
A soaking of the Gunflint Trail continues as we have wrapped up May. I heard mention of starting to build an ark.
Wildersmith May 25Fred Smith-
A nice upset of atmospheric conditions occurred last Sunday up and along the Trail. Miracles will never cease, it rained, marvelous rain!
Wildersmith May 18Fred Smith-
Spring has really sprung in the upper Gunflint territory! Since we last met over the waves of space, many more wilderness characters have popped out.
Wildersmith May 11Fred Smith-
The north woods have been quite gloomy most days since May took over.

You know I went to the #TriangleTweetup last week at @Bronto, an Email Service Provider in Durham, NC, with an inflatable brontosaurus as its mascot:
Apart from searching Twitter for TriangleTweetup, you could also follow @triangletweetup for updates. At one point during the event, the hashtag was 'trending' but I don't know how high it got.
There were about 250 people there, mostly programers, web developers and PR folks. Reminds me of the old bloggercons. Will tweetups also evolve over the years to attract more people who are using it and less people who are designing it? A first Science Tweetup a few years after the first Science Blogging Conference? Who knows?
I tried to talk to as many people as physically possible, but 2 hours are not enough to even shake hands with 250 people, so I relaxed and tried to find people I knew from before, either offline or online. Unlike at blogger meetups where I know so many people already, here I knew (in the sense of "met in real life") only about a dozen people from before, including @abelpharmboy, @DPAC (which is Rachel Gragg), @GinnySkal, @eronel, @waynesutton, @dgtlpapercuts, @LisaSullivan, @steveburnett, @jreesnc and @jacksonfox, as far as I can remember through the fogs of memory. But, through them, I also met new people, including among others, @beetweets, @fullsteam (of the Fullsteam Brewery serving beer from an interesting contraption, see below), @damondnollan, @mrender, @marynations, @AshleySue and @lruettimann.
I completely missed the panel (it was techie talk anyway, so not really my reason for being there – I am a user and observer) and used my time more wisely to schmooze and meet people and see who does what and tell them what I do, etc.
Some people blogged about the event afterwards, including my SciBling Abel Pharmboy, Ginny Skalski, Brian McDonald and Caroline Smith (of Bronto).
[@beetweets, @abelpharmboy, @DPAC and @airieldown]
@cnmoody wrote about Three Ways to Make the Next #TriangleTweetup THAT Much Better. To that, I would add: a bigger venue (perhaps DPAC, unless Tweetups are supposed to rotate among the Triangle towns) and the inclusion of Twitter names at registration. I would have so much liked to check people out on Twitter in advance – that way I would have made a special effort to meet some people I discovered only after the event was over due to their post-event tweeting, people I have similar interests with or perhaps potential professional interests. Now I have to wait until the next time. But that is a minor suggestion – the event was great fun. I am looking forward to the next one.

(Jun 27, 2012) On June 1, 2012, Directive 2012/13/EU on the Right to Information in Criminal Proceedings entered into force. (2012 OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (142/1) (May 22, 2012), EUR-LEX.)
Directive 2012/13/EU establishes rules pertaining to the right to information about the procedural rights of accused persons and suspects in criminal proceedings, irrespective of their legal status, citizenship, or nationality in the European Union. Its scope also extends to persons subject to the European Arrest Warrant (EAW). The use of the latterbegan in 2004, replacing the extradition system in the EU. The EAW is valid throughout the EU and requires the state where the accused is found to transfer him to the issuing state. (Council Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA of 13 June 2002 on the European Arrest Warrant and the Surrender Procedures Between Member States (as amended), EUROPA.)
According to Directive 2012/13/EU, EU Member States are obliged to ensure that suspects and the accused are promptly informed, orally or in writing, of their right:
- of access to a lawyer and to any free legal advice;
- to be informed of the accusation in a language that is understood; and
- to remain silent. (Directive 2012/13/EU, supra.)
At the time of arrest, the accused and anyone who is a suspect must be handed a Letter of Rights, in a language that they understand, which, in addition to the rights stated above, must inform them of their rights of access to:
- the materials of the case;
- consular authorities;
- urgent medical assistance; and
- information on the number of hours or days they will be detained before they are brought before a judicial authority. (Id.)
Individuals who are arrested on the basis of the European Arrest Warrant must similarly be given a Letter of Rights providing information on their basic rights. (Id.)
Directive 2012/13/EU contains two annexes: (a) a model Letter of Rights and (b) a model of Letter or Rights Under the European Arrest Warrant. (Id.)
EU Members are required to transpose the directive into national law by June 2014. (Id.)

Getting Stoned. ~ Hayley Samuelson
Growing up I had no use for an alarm clock. My father's stereo acted as a substitute.
Every morning rather than awaking to the ring of harsh consecutive beeps, I would get in the groove with Sly & the Family Stone or force myself to wake up so I could finish a soulful Dusty Springfield lyric or leap up because my heart pained to feel love the way Etta James understood it.
Thanks to my father's obsession with R&B/soul, my childhood, adolescence and adulthood have been shaped by music. Whether I feel happy, depressed, confused, in the mood to dance, show someone an epic song, choose my favorite song, clean my house, relax, or really do anything worthwhile, my internal jukebox always yearns for a little old school R&B.
There is no problem I cannot solve by listening to and contemplating the lyrics in a soul tune.
As tradition, though I'm not sure it is a conscious tradition of his, my father gives me his latest favorite album whenever a gift is in order. This Christmas, the artist of choice was Allen Stone.
I had never heard of him, many still have yet to hear of him because he is an 'up and coming' young musician from the middle of nowhere in Washington state (I can say that because being from Washington and I have never heard of Chewelah).
Within seconds of plugging him in, I fell head over heels. Each song that flowed into my ears drew me in a little farther, each lyric resonated deeper and each beat made me wiggle my hips a little groovier.
Allen Stone's two LPs were played on repeat for every day for about two months. I am not embarassed to say this is not an exaggeration.
As a self proclaimed tough girl, I admit (with slight embarrassment), one thing that draws me to tears is truly great live music.
This past week I drove one and a half hours to a hole in the wall venue in Breckenridge and experienced just that and it came in the most peculiar looking package.
Allen Stone, though he draws his sound from greats like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, looks exactly the opposite from what I would have pictured.
Shoulder-length, messy, blonde strands fall to his shoulders under a hip black hat. Oversized, thick, square, orange glasses overtake most of his face. A vintage wardrobe complete with brown moccasins, a native inspired wool sweater and worn out denim cover his body.
My eye brows raised skeptically as he prepared for his first song. No imperfections were hidden from my sight, as I situated my self in the front row.
How could the smoothest most soulful voice I had heard in a while look like such an odd hipster?
All doubts flew out the window as he began to sing what he referred to as "greasy soul" (he doesn't like how soul has to be sung in suits and look proper). Don't judge a book by its cover, I guess.
New age R&B/soul twisted with pop influences flowed from his lips like he had been singing for years. His lyrics are original and refreshing as they combine laid-back values with political motivations.
Watching him groove and jive to each of his songs made me feel happier and more relaxed than I've been in ages.
He is a natural born performer and as so, knew how to get the crowd grooving. I danced, celebrated his enthusiasm and may or may not have teared up a little.
Clearly, I cannot hide my extreme bias towards Allen Stone.
Not only is he my newest favorite musician but also because I got the chance to spend some time with him after the show.
He remained focused and seemed genuinely interested in what my friends and I were saying. Not once did he rush us and only stepped away when he was alerted it was time to pack up.
From the brief but honest encounter, I can say he is a down, easy-going and positive guy to be around who you can tell believes completely in the music he is singing.
So yes, I call it 'getting stoned' because each of us who attended the show were high on Allen for days. We sang lyrics to his songs subconsciously, could not control the shaking of our hips as they yearned to jive as they did at the concert and smiles seemed to be eternally glued to our faces. Needless to say, next time Allen Stone is in town we will be front row.
I consider myself to be well versed in the area of music and I think you should listen when I say to check him out. He assured my friends and I that he would be back in Colorado soon, as he would be touring for the rest of his life.
If you are still skeptical, check out the videos below or visit his website to stream his latest album.

Hayley is studying journalism, politics and international media at the University of Colorado at Boulder. In between juggling school and various jobs, she makes time to snowboard, travel, write and craft.

I just finished sewing a Bug Bivy that is a blend of several styles.Bug Bivy1.9 oz silnylon floor, noseeum netting, and a #3 zipper in the ridgeline. It weighs 10oz which is fine for me due to the added durability. Most of my trips are well into Canada and durability is an important factor.For most of the year bugs are an issue for me and I'd prefer to avoid the possibility of Lymes.Dan

Welcome to the online home of the 2015 "Gathering of Styles"
The Gathering of Styles is an annual event designed to bring together the diverse collection of people and disciplines from all over our martial arts community.
For one night and under one roof, we make a collective effort to share our knowledge and experience with the public and our community of fellow martial artists. This effort aims to promote oneness as well as broaden our understanding of who we are, where we came from and where we are going.
This program is not about the promotion of any particular style or individual. It is simply a way to bring us all together as a family, in celebration of our art-form, our shared interests and our mutual goals. Gathering of Styles will provide each attendee the opportunity to learn and grow from the shared knowledge and experiences of all 7 Grand Masters. It will also provide an opportunity and a venue, to network both personally and professionally with other participants who have common interests.
Our event will bring together 7 Grand Masters from around the country. They will teach and demonstrate small parts of what they know in regards to their particular martial arts disciplines as well as share some of the more general and helpful knowledge they have picked up along the way.
We hope you will find the time to join us and become a part of our mutual goal to achieve awareness, growth, knowledge, understanding and shared prosperity within our martial arts community.

Kim Kardashian's split from Kris Humphries was a very messy and embarrassing time of her life -- but, according to her, she's a better person because of it.
"It was really hard to go through, it was probably the toughest thing I've had to go through," the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star told Jay Leno last night on "The Tonight Show."
"I had my family there and they really helped me get through that, I owe them so big for what I put them through," Kim says about all the media attention that followed when she ended her marriage to Kris just 72 days after tying the knot.
While she calls the attention "brutal" after the split, Kim says she learned a lot about herself from it all.
"It's changed who I am as a person, I think for the better, and the things that I care about in life have completely changed because of this," Kardashian told Leno. "I really think everything happens for a reason."

Bistro Mac & Cheese
Joshua Trent
Recipe type: Side Dish
Serves: 8
Cook time:
Total time:
This recipe uses some of my favorite cheeses and gives a real gourmet feel to everyday mac & cheese. I hope you enjoy!
- 1 pkg. (16 oz.) uncooked elbow macaroni
- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 2½ cups 2% milk
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. onion powder
- ½ tsp. pepper
- ¼ tsp. garlic powder
- 1 cup (4 oz.) shredded park-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup (4 oz.) shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 pkg. (3 oz.) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- Cook macaroni according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually stir in milk and seasonings.
- Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
- Reduce heat; add cheeses and stir until melted. Stir in sour cream.
- Drain macaroni and stir into cheese sauce.
This recipe can also be baked with a crumb topping. Place macaroni in a greased 3-qt. baking dish. Combine ⅓ cup seasoned bread crumbs and 2 Tbsp. melted butter; sprinkle over macaroni. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly. Tip: If your macaroni is done long before you cheese sauce, rinse it in cold water to stop the pasta from continuing to cook and becoming gummy.

(CBS News) -- Amid ongoing questions about the recent violence in Libya and possible related security issues, BuzzFeed reporter Michael Hastings on Sunday became embroiled in a heated email exchange with Philippe Reines, aide and spokesman to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who ultimately told him to "f**k off" and "have a nice life."
Hastings, who opted to publish the entire exchange on BuzzFeed Monday, initially wrote to Reines with questions about how and why CNN was able to acquire the personal diary of Christopher Stevens, the ambassador to Libya who along with three other Americans was murdered in Benghazi earlier this month.
"Why didn't the State Department search the consulate and find AMB Steven's diary first? What other potential valuable intelligence was left behind that could have been picked up by apparently anyone searching the grounds? Was any classified or top secret material also left?" Hastings asked in his first note.
He continued: "Do you still feel that there was adequate security at the compound, considering it was not only overrun but sensitive personal effects and possibly other intelligence remained out for anyone passing through to pick up? Your statement on CNN sounded pretty defensive--do you think it's the media's responsibility to help secure State Department assets overseas after they've been attacked?"
In his response, Philippe accused Hastings of being "needlessly antagonistic" before launching into a lengthy response criticizing CNN for using information from the diary in its reporting. CNN obtained the diary following the attacks in Benghazi, and according to BuzzFeed, the State Department had not previously known the diary existed.
The State Department called CNN's reporting "indefensible" and said the network had defied Stevens' family's wishes.
"What [CNN is] not owning up to is reading and transcribing Chris's diary well before bothering to tell the family or anyone else that they took it from the site of the attack. Or that when they finally did tell them, they completely ignored the wishes of the family, and ultimately broke their pledge made to them only hours after they witnessed the return to the Unites States of Chris's remains," the State Department said in a statement over the weekend, according to Politico. "Anderson Cooper didn't even bother to offer any other explanation as to why the network broke its promise to the family. And only did so after being contacted by a reporter asking about the diary and their convoluted sourcing. How do they justify that? They have yet to even try to defend the indefensible."
CNN defended its use of the journal, contending the network was "raising questions about why the State Department didn't do more to protect Ambassador Stevens and other U.S. personnel."
"Perhaps the real question here is why is the State Department now attacking the messenger," CNN said in a statement.
In the email thread between Hastings and Reines, Hastings called the State Department's statement "offensive" and accused the department, and the administration, of propagating "misinformation."
"The defense that the administration has offered that there was no intelligence warning of an attack is weak. If there was no intel, then clearly the CIA and other intel agents stationed in Benghazi weren't doing their jobs well. If there was intel, then we have some kind of cover-up--whether out of incompetence or ass covering before the election or just the trauma of losing four good men, it's hard for me to say at this point," Hastings wrote.
From there, the conversation devolved to personal insults: Reines wondered "Why do you bother to ask questions you've already decided you know the answers to?"
"Why don't you give answers that aren't bulls*** for a change?" Hastings responded.
Reines then called Hastings an "unmitigated a**hole" and directed him to "have a good day."
"And by good day, I mean F**k Off," he wrote. In a subsequent email he added: "Have a good life Michael."
The publication of the exchange - which is arguably unflattering to both parties - offers a rare glimpse at the often-fraught relationships between reporters and communications officials. Voters were also offered a glimpse of the tensions on the trail earlier this year, when Mitt Romney's travel press secretary Richard Gorka told the reporters to "kiss my a**" and "shove it."
Rick Santorum also lost his patience with reporters on the trail during his candidacy, after New York Times reporter Jeff Zeleny pressed him for details about comments he made calling then-rival Mitt Romney "the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama."
"You said Mitt Romney is the worst Republican in the country," Zeleny said to Santorum on the rope-line following his initial remarks. "Is that true?"
"Stop lying," Santorum said, alleging that he had been referring to Romney's record on health care. "Quit distorting my words ...It's bulls***."
Zeleny later told CBS News, however, that he suspected Santorum's outburst was a "tactic" aimed at building support among conservative Republicans.
"It is a very common tactic for Republican presidential candidates. Or even Democratic presidential candidates to try and use the media as a foil here," Zeleny told "CBS This Morning" at the time. "He clearly knew the cameras were rolling here."
President Obama, meanwhile, told reporter Neil Munro, of the conservative website Daily Caller, that "it's not time for questions" when Munro interrupted the president during June remarks about immigration in the White House rose garden.
"Are you going to take questions?" Munro asked.
"Not while I'm speaking," Mr. Obama said.

Games Done Quick is returning this Sunday on June 22 with Summer Games Done Quick, a marathon charity event that will last through the entire week to June 28. A group of very highly skilled gamers will play several video games quickly throughout the event to drum up money for Doctors Without Borders.
The marathon, which takes place at Crowne Plaza Hotel in Denver, Colorado, will include high-level play for games like Super Mario 3D World, Banjo-Tooie, Mega Man, Halo: Combat Evolved, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Final Fantasy VI, and many others. The full schedule for the event is posted here.
Games Done Quick normally runs two events every year, the other being Awesome Games Done Quick that took place this past January. It had some "awesome" moments with my favorite being the 4-way race on Super Metroid. It's very likely that we'll get some epic moments during this year's SGDQ as well.
We've embedded the Twitch stream below that should play when the marathon begins on Sunday, 11 am PT. If you want to go directly to the Twitch stream, the link to that is right here. And remember, if you like what you see in this year's marathon, be sure to throw in a few bucks to Doctors Without Borders, a non-profit organization that provides emergency care world wide to those in need. For incentives, there will be prizes available for those that donate.

Holladay Tours began with a goal. Tom and Sharon Holladay wanted to share with others the travel experiences they had enjoyed in their personal travels. The Holladays recognized the merits of group travel, new adventures and new friends all at an affordable price!
In 1990 they began to schedule group tours on a part time basis. It took some time to get the word out and the name circulated but they hung in there and didn't give up. Each year business increased and in 1992 Holladay Tours was incorporated.
A tour brochure was published twice yearly and continues to be mailed to a growing list of tour guests. Later a website was developed with E-mail contacts.
In 1994 Tom made the decision to go into the group tour business on a full time basis. Sharon joined him in the business in 1996 as a tour planner and tour escort.
Holladay Tours also cruises and flies to world destinations. We want to connect you to these great vacation destinations.
We continue into our third decade with the original goal in mind to provide you with the ultimate travel experience.

Happy Meat-Free Monday, Everyone! As a vegan, substituting dairy products has become fairly easy and routine. But there's one thing I miss, crave and dream about…cheese! Luckily, some recipes sate that craving. And this fab dish is one of them. It comes from my fave vegan cook and baker, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, author of The Joy of Vegan Baking and The Vegan Table. This lasagna recipe comes from her latter book. Both books have been my culinary saviors in the kitchen!
For the lasagna noodles, you can use the cooked kind or the no-boil kind but I prefer the no-boil for ease. It's hard to find good vegan lasagna noodles but DeBoles' rice lasagna at Whole Foods tastes great and happens to be gluten-free too.
If you have any questions or comments, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Vegan Tofu Spinach Lasagna
1/2 to 1 pound lasagna noodles (DeBoles for vegan rice lasagna noodles)
20 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 package (16 ounces) firm tofu (not silken)
2 jars tomato sauce (Trader Joe's tomato basil marinara is my fave for this)
1/4 cup non-dairy milk (I use plain soy)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons basil (I use dried)
1 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. If using cooked noodles, cook according to the package instructions. Set aside.
Drain the thawed spinach and set aside.
Place tofu, milk, garlic powder, lemon juice, basil and salt in a blender and blend until smooth. The tofu "ricotta" should be creamy but still have body and not be too smooth. Transfer to a large-size bowl and add spinach. Stir thoroughly. Add more salt if needed.
Cover bottom of 9 x 13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of tomato sauce, then a layer of noodles. Follow with half of the tofu "ricotta" & spinach filling. Then add another layer of tomato sauce, then another layer of noodles. Add the rest of the tofu/spinach filling. Add another layer of tomato sauce, followed by the final layer of noodles. Then cover the top in tomato sauce.
Bake for 45 minutes until hot and bubbly. The noodles should be tender, particularly in the middle of the dish.
Serves 8-10 people.
Bon appetit!

High School Softball
Northgate wins twice to reach title game
The Northgate Lady Vikings took control of the Region 4-AAAAAA softball tournament Wednesday night at Mosley Park in Stockbridge with two big victories.
Northgate defeated both Union Grove 6-4 and Ola 3-2 just 24 hours after whipping Creekside 15-0 to open tournament play at home.
The Lady Vikings need just one more win to clinch a region title.
Northgate improved its record to 23-3-1 and awaits today's opening game winner between Union Grove and Ola at 8 p.m.
The Lady Vikings defeated both Union Grove (2-0) and Ola (1-0) during the regular season.
Pitcher McKenzie Peace picked up both wins on Wednesday, striking out three against Union Grove while scattering 10 hits.
Trailing 2-1, Northgate scored five times in the bottom of the fourth to rally en route to its victory over Union Grove, last year's Class AAAAA champions.
Jenna Pealor led the offensive attack for the Lady Vikings against the Lady Wolverines. Pealor finished with a single and double and also drove in two RBIs.
Brenna Skalski, Carly Alderman, Emily Heath and Jessica Hoak also had RBIs to send the Union Grove into the losers' bracket.
The defending state champions pushed two runs across in the fifth before Peace held them scoreless in the final two innings.
Peace then dominated Ola, striking out 10 while allowing six hits. The Lady Vikings also took advantage of four Ola errors.
Northgate pounded out eight hits, but managed just two earn runs with Houk and McKenzie McCloud driving in runs.

Post residency
Because financially of course it does but I mean emotionally, time wise. I feel that my husband is even more busy now we see him less he is attending now so he is always on the phone before when his shift was done he passed the pager but now the patients are his own and so he is responsible 24/7. He hasnt had 1 day off since September! Yes, I am driving a nice car and carrying my stuff is a Louis Vouitton now but I still dont have a husband!!!! Im sorry if im ranting, kinda sucks to be so angry on a Monday morning.

Low expectations on your husband's free time is a key to happiness. I decided years ago to be grateful for any time he could be with us rather than resentful for the (large amounts of) time he couldn't. I'm glad my husband gives good care to his patients, and know he would often rather be with us.

- The Girl Next Door said...
I feel the same way, if he doesnt have patients decide to walk into his clinic at the LAST Minute (yes they close at 5 but that doesnt mean you should walk in at 459), he is wrapped up working on clinic notes, or attending some sort of meeting through the hospital. I have learned that i'll never be able to time dinner so that its hot when he gets home - and to be patient when his pager goes off or the call service calls his phone while we're out somewhere. Its definitely frustrating, i rant about it on my blog quite frequently - but its a package deal. Now, if i could just find some patience for his narcassistic tendencies post residency we'd be in great shape!
Well wishes from one doctors wife to another

Hi, I'm new and my husband is premed. You could say I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum. My husband works 40 hrs and is taking 18 units. He is still in his sophomore year. He wants to be an orthopedic surgeon. I never see him other than during his late nights doing homework. Is this something I'm headed for?

I have survived residency and fellowship and now my husband is gone M-F to a small underserved community providing a much needed service, so we only see him on the weekends and I have 3 kids under 3 at home. Needless to say I miss fellowship and residency, we sure did see him a lot more then. I guess we have just learned that the weekends are sacred, we all get to be together and cherish the moments we do have. I have learned to put my big girl panties on during the week and enjoy the luxury of now being able to afford a handy man and a lawn guy to compensate for my husband's abscence. I chose this life, so now I have to learn to enjoy it!

Philly Cheesesteaks & Burgers (cart)
701 SW 6th Ave.
This Pioneer Courthouse Square cart team packs a mean hot-beef punch, even in nasty weather. Its combo of "intangible" assets—perfectly grilled steak, bell peppers, mushrooms and onions—slathered in white American cheese (classic!) and served on an authentically tough Philly-style roll is 12 inches of pure heaven ($6.25). This team also takes direction from one of the sport's most lovable coaches, grillmaster Ben Isaacson.
MVP: The virtual cream sauce that forms from this sammy's combo of steak juice and and melty cheese—simply unbeatable.
6800 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., 247-7211
Undoubtedly a tough competitor for the PCS cart, this Northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard-based team brings on a fierce combination of plays, from A.1.- or barbecue-sauce-laden steaks to chicken steaks and, of course, the classic Cheez Whiz steak ($4-$9).
MVP: Steakadelphia's untraditional but awesomely delicious topper of shredded lettuce, tomato and mayo (or ranch!)—think Carl's Jr. commercial applied to a cheesesteak and you're getting close.
Ford's on 5th
121 NW 5th Ave., 226-2828
A classic downtown team, Ford's works overtime (open late!) and handles the ball with finesse—each Angus cheesesteak ($6.95 with side) features roasted-garlic mayo and large slices of grilled green bell pepper. The coaches are knowledgeable old-timers, and their Italian (pizza) steak—a mozzarella-subbed cheesesteak plus marinara—hits the opponent where it counts.
Special Teams: Ford's bitchin' red-potato salad runs it back every time.
Philadelphia's Steaks & Hoagies
6410 SE Milwaukie Ave., 239-8544
Philadelphia's undoubtedly has tradition on its side, as this team offers real-deal Philly-shipped bread and tough-to-beat Tastykakes (the Little Debbie of the City of Brotherly Love). It's also got tasty benchwarmers like the buffalo chicken variation ($8.25, topped with blue cheese!), as well as an authentically prepared classic ($6.75).
Penalty: Philadelphia's bread gets a flag thrown for occasional dryness.
529 SW 4th Ave., 228-7605
This once-thug-filled team has cleaned up its act, and it gives fans what they often want: Cheese Whiz. The Rialto offers up a mean defensive line of sometimes-too-thick steak and a super-long crusty loaf, meaning its strength sometimes overpowers its skill.
Penalty: The Rialto's cheesesteak ($8 with fries) receives a 15-yard penalty for roughing the passer (your stomach).
Brooklyn Park Pub
3400 SE Milwaukie Ave., 234-7772
A relatively new Southeast side team, the BPP cheesesteak ($5) comes on quick with a slippery offense of melty cheese, and a lineup of eclectic players (great microbrew and whiskey selection) wins the Brooklyn Park Pub the extra point.
MVP: The BPP cheesesteak's super-beefy taste—like the meat's been grilled in a bath of reduced beef bouillon.
2272 NW Kearney St., 299-1200
Tributes' cheesesteak ($7.
45) storms in with a tight, meaty defensive line, but a showboaty draft pick—the charming creamy hot sauce—overpowers the rest of the players' talents, proving to be the team's downfall.
Penalty: Tribute's hot sauce receives a 15-yard penalty for roughing the tastebuds.
NY Sub Shop
725 SW Alder St., 525-4414
This expansion team (more of a deli-oriented competitor) offers tasty sub-style sammies, and its cheesesteak ($5.85 half, $10.70 whole) features classic sub toppers like mayo, lettuce, tomato and Italian dressing.
MVP: Banana peppers add some zing to the NY Sub Shop's plays.
Every team except Philly Cheesesteaks & Burgers, Ford's on 5th and the NY Sub Shop is open Super Bowl Sunday.

Choosing the right print process: lithographic or digital
Commercial printers offer a range of different print processes suitable for different types of jobs. Each process has advantages and disadvantages over the others. In this article I look at each of the print processes and examine how they work and what their advantages are.
Lithographic press (litho)
Printing hasn't really changed a great deal since Gutenburg gave us the printing press in 1468. Technology has allowed modern printing presses to produce millions of copies of a page in a single day, but the principle of applying pressure to an inked surface resting upon paper, thereby transferring an offset of an image, remains the same.
These days a printer creates a set of 'plates' which are used to press the image onto paper. There are initial costs involved in creating the plates and setting up the press. This means a litho job can be expensive and take time, but for large print runs it remains the most efficient process and also boasts superior quality and finish.
- Most cost effective for large print runs (500+)
- Unrivalled print quality
- Most flexible in terms of printing stock, inks and finishes
- Can print up to A1 size
- Long turn around time
- Expensive for short print runs
Digital print press
Digital print presses are essentially very big and very fast colour laser printers. They can handle some heavier papers and cards but offer nowhere near as much flexibility as litho print. Digital is good because it is instant. Jobs can be turned around in a day if need be and there are no setup costs which means you pay for what you print.
These days the top of the range digital print presses offer very high quality - almost comparable to a litho print job. However, not all printers have the latest top of the range digital presses. In fact unless you are very lucky, digital will give you a noticeable drop in print quality and colour will almost certainly not match.
- Most cost effective for small print runs
- Print on demand
- Very fast turnaround times
- Noticeable drop in print quality (but technology is improving)
- Less flexibility than litho print
- Can only print up to A3 size
Other print processes
Large format inkjet
See that inkjet printer sat on your desk? Imagine one of those as wide as your room printing on huge rolls of paper or cloth - that's a large format inkjet. This is an excellent solution for printing things like one-off exhibition banners and translucent window graphics. However, large format printing can be expensive.
Screen printing
Screen printing, as made famous by Andy Warhol, is a highly versatile printing technique. It can be used to print on all sorts of materials from plastic to metals to cotton t-shirts, and many methods can be used to print special colours such as metallic colours or suedes or glosses.
To summarise
When you are creating any kind of material that is going to be printed, you should speak to a good local printer before you start designing. If you have a good relationship with a printer they will be more than happy to advise on what type of print process best suits your needs, and you can therefore tailor your design accordingly.
What advice can you offer for choosing the right print process? If you have any hints and tips or words of wisdom, please leave them in the comments below.

Not suprisingly there are some interesting connections between America's favorite Whipping Boys Goldman Sachs and BP.
Peter Sutherland:
According to his September 2009 bio:
Peter Sutherland is chairman of BP plc (1997 – current). He is also chairman of Goldman Sachs International (1995 – current). He was appointed chairman of the London School of Economics in 2008…. Before these appointments, he was the founding director-general of the World Trade Organisation. He had previously served as director general of GATT since July 1993 [and was] chairman of the Board of Governors of the European Institute of Public Administration (Maastricht) 1991-1996.
Sutherland resigned as BP's chairman in 2009, but apparently still serves in various key capacities.
Sutherland is managing director– as well as chairman – of Goldman Sachs International (Goldman Sachs International is the very powerful subsidiary of the Goldman Sachs Group, of which Lloyd Blankfein is CEO). Sutherland is also an Advisory Director of the Goldman Sachs Group itself.
And he was is European Chairman for the Trilateral Commission.
He has, at various times, attended meetings of the Bilderberg group.
But the fun does not end there.
The brokerage firm that's faced the most scrutiny from regulators in the past year over the shorting of mortgage related securities seems to have had good timing when it came to something else: the stock of British oil giant BP.
According to regulatory filings, RawStory.com has found that Goldman Sachs sold 4,680,822 sharesof BP in the first quarter of 2010. Goldman's sales were the largest of any firm during that time. Goldman would have pocketed slightly more than $266 million if their holdings were sold at the average price of BP's stock during the quarter.
If Goldman had sold these shares today, their investment would have lost 36 percent its value, or $96 million. The share sales represented 44 percent of Goldman's holdings — meaning that Goldman's remaining holdings have still lost tens of millions in value.
Not so strange bedfellows. If Goldman Sachs has not had a prior history of manipulation from the housing market to the Greek debt crisis one may not suspect malfeasance like insider trading, collusion or conspiracy. Some mainstream media commentators have even had whispers of industrial sabotage. With such a dubious past and a horrific current record, BP and Goldman Sachs should expect such questions to continue.

A bicyclist was seriously injured late Saturday afternoon after she was struck by a car in Anderson Township.
Alison Delgado, 27, of Cincinnati was in critical condition at University Hospital Saturday night after a 2007 Hyundai Sonata struck her at the intersection of Corbly Road and Berkshire Club Drive just after 5 p.m., according to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office.
The accident occurred as the Sonata was turning left from westbound Corbly Road to southbound Berkshire Club Drive and struck Delgado, who was traveling east on Corbly Road, the sheriff's office said.
The driver of the Sonata, 51-year-old Cathleen Looder of Oxford, and her two passengers were all wearing seat belts at the time of the crash and were not injured.
Delgado, who was wearing a helmet, was transported to Mercy Anderson Hospital by the Anderson Township Fire Department and later taken by Air Care to University Hospital.
Speed, alcohol and drugs were not factors in the crash, the sheriff's office said. The accident remains under investigation.

bout time. if there hadn't been such political favoritism, it wouldn't have gotten this far in the first place.
No kidding! This should have been DOA.
It is nice to see our goverment do the right thing for a change. And to a rich, politically connectd organization, to boot. However, with $3B invested I can assure you that this is far from over. After all this is America where if you can't get what you want, than send in the lawyers. I hope they spend another billion on lawyers and loose that too. This whole thing was a scam from the start. They paid dirt for the spectrum and never had any intention of using it for a satellite based system. They tried to beat the system and lost. Too bad.
It's about time.
Come on guys. I expect more from you. Barack Obama is in full campaign mode right now. Every move from now until November is designed to get him re-elected. Sure this idea is unpopular but Lightsquared has given a LOT of money to Obama. Do you really think they are just going to accept this decision? They will double down and hope Barry gets re-elect. If that happens airline safety will be sacrificed just like the second amendment will be.
I hope this kills LightSquared, but I'll bet they will still try pull more political strings as well work the media!
Wow! All those political contributions by LightSquared principals gone to waste. This is one of the few instances of "governmental waste" which does not upset me.
I am intrigued that the last couple of paragraphs make it sound like it is all the fault of the GPS manufacturers. Especially the flip crack about cell phone GPS. I wouldn't rely on my i-Phone to prvode me approach vectors and glideslope in IFR to an unfamiliar airport, nor would I want to be concerned that my positioning is compromised by someone playing Words With Friends.
I'll have to see if my Garmin auto GPS boots up quicker, like it did back in 2010.
So quit charging me an extra $10 a month on my phone for 4G service that practically doesn't exist and now won't.
You willingly entered into a private contract for your cell phone rate. If they've breached it, sue them. You pays your money, you takes your chances.
As the House prepares to launch official investigations of both Solyndra and LightSquared, investigators need to look closely at exactly how the Obama FCC's unusual January 2011 waiver for LightSquared promised the politically-connected company a stunning corporate windfall. The waiver gave the company a green light to use its initial satellite bandwidth license for "exclusive terrestrial purposes." As the Telecom, Media and Finance Associates, Inc. blog explains, this meant that "the spectrum rights would be considered (and valued) as equivalent to terrestrial spectrum, allowing LightSquared to raise additional funds to build out its network. In fact that is exactly what LightSquared then proceeded to do, by raising $586M, secured against its spectrum assets, in February 2011."
Hey, look on the bright side, America: at least the Obama team didn't rip you off for another half-billion dollars here, like they did with Solyndra. They're just playing games with weather warnings and the air-traffic control system on behalf of their loyal contributors. If you don't fly on airplanes or live in a place that has weather, you have nothing to worry about.
Richard; To your list you might add the DOD, framers plowing; SAR ground pounders and fishermen to only point out a few of the people who were/are worried about what quick buck LightSquired, their hedge fund investors and DC, (with hand out) friends are trying to pull! Congress has talked about doing am investigation, however from the last I read, the FCC has refused to turn over the LightSquired files to congress! What's all that about? The whole deal smells like week old fish! I can tell you that searching in the wilderness in the night in a snow storm with the treat of losing dependable navigation from our handheld GPS units no small deal. People would die!
Good news for GPS users and the future of space based ATC.
Watch the other hand if you are a T-Mobile user as the German parent has said they will not invest in the company and the Administration already nixed the merger with AT&T even though the FTC said it was no problem. Doesn't matter to most of us who use AT&T or Verison except AT&T crappy service is legislated to continue.

groundSPARK, street painting in Raleigh
Yesterday, I spent an hour drawing with chalk in a four foot by four foot square in the hot sun. I found out about this street painting festival rather late, but still managed to score a square, lucky #7…
(with a big 'ole oil stain in it… that blue towel was tossed shortly after I finished the painting as it was coated with grease)
I decided the night before to paint Riesling on our colorful futon to make full use of the myriad of colors available. I was afraid of running out of black, gray and white if I just did her portrait.
I had a few people stop by and ask some questions and I overhead more folks say "Look, a schanauzer!" Good to know that she was recognizable!
Here I am adding some highlights to her eyebrows after I signed it.
It was so hot that my sweat kept dripping onto my reference photo and painting! Plus, I am completely filthy.
I'm happy with my final product, especially since it was my first time participating in a street painting festival. Many folks were planning with grids and really working the pastel chalk into the ground, using hair spray as a fixative. I basically just sketched on the ground. After completing one myself, I can really appreciate the effort that goes into the beautiful works that some people create at these things!No comments

Seafood Stew with Fennel and Thyme
- 1 1/2 pounds mussels, scrubbed, debearded
- 2 1/2 cups chopped onions
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 12 parsley sprigs plus 1/2 cup chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
- 2 cups finely chopped leeks (white and pale green parts only)
- 2 cups diced trimmed fennel bulb
- 4 8-ounce bottles clam juice
- 4 large fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 3/4 pounds thick halibut fillets, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 10 ounces sea scallops
- 1 cup crème fraîche*
- 2 large egg yolks
Combine mussels, 1 1/4 cups onions, wine, and 8 parsley sprigs in large pot; bring to boil. Cover and cook until mussels open, shaking pot often, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer mussels to large bowl to cool (discard any mussels that do not open). Strain cooking liquid into large measuring cup; discard vegetables in strainer. Add enough water to cooking liquid to measure 2 cups total. Remove mussels from shells if desired.
Melt butter in same large pot over medium heat. Add remaining 1 1/4 cups onions, leeks, and fennel and saut� until leeks are soft, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes. Add reserved mussel cooking liquid, 4 parsley sprigs, clam juice, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves. Simmer uncovered until vegetables are tender and liquid has reduced by 1/3, about 25 minutes. Add halibut and scallops to broth and simmer until just opaque in center, about 4 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer halibut and scallops to bowl. Discard parsley sprigs, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves.
Whisk cr�me fra�che and egg yolks in medium bowl to blend. Whisk in 1/2 cup hot cooking liquid from pot. Gradually stir yolk mixture into stew. Cook over medium heat until liquid thickens slightly, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes (do not allow mixture to boil). Return halibut, scallops, and mussels to pan. Cook until halibut is heated through, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Serve in warmed shallow bowls.
*Cr�me fra�che is sold at some supermarkets. If unavailable, heat 1 cup whipping cream to lukewarm (85�F). Remove from heat and mix in 2 tablespoons buttermilk. Cover and let stand in warm, draft-free area until slightly thickened, 24 to 48 hours, depending on temperature of room. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Popular comedian, De-Don, in this interview, talks about comedy as a profession and other issues
What is your real name?
My real name is Irugwe Okeremute Don
What was the experience like growing up?
It was fun. I grew up in Abraka and I was raised in a family of 10. My father had two wives but I lost him at a young age. Things became very tough as a result of that. I had to hawk food stuff like pap, tomatoes, pepper and fish to survive. I attended a public school I was one of the unserious students and that affected my WAEC results. When I came to Lagos, my sister had to register me for the General Certificate Examinations. My comedy career sprang from Abraka. Then, my mother had a shop in front of the Delta State University, Ethiope and there was a comedian called Kome who had shows in the university. After watching his jokes, I would perform the same jokes for the students in my secondary school. That earned me the nickname, Little Kome.
How did you break into the larger comedy scene?
As a student at the Lagos State University, I was always going to Lekki beach to perform. Later on, I met Sound Sultan at the Lagos State University, and he introduced me to Basket Mouth who told me that there was no point going to Lekki beach every Sunday when I can break into the mainstream comedy scene. He advised me to go for the audition of 'Night of a thousand laughs'. I did and out of 27 comedians that were auditioned, three of us were selected to perform on October 1, 2002.
What stands you out from other comedians?
I have the ability to create humour from my experience.
Have you ever been embarrassed on stage?
It was the day I went to perform at the University of Lagos. After climbing the stage, before I could say a word, people shouted at me and asked me to come down. I had to kneel down and plead with them to allow me share one joke since I had not even been paid an advance fee. They allowed me to tell one joke before leaving the stage.
How did you meet your wife?
She was my younger brother's classmate. When I saw her, I told him I was interested and he connected us.
Recently, you donated one of your kidneys to your elder brother, what prompted you to do that?
It was a good experience and I thank God I had the opportunity to do it.
Were you worried that your kidney may not be a match for his at the initial stage?
Yes. I was supposed to go earlier but the first time he had the problem in 2009, I did a test and my kidney was high, which meant I could not donate. My sister donated then but the kidney failed again this year. We did not know it was failing, we thought he just had complications but when he went for medical check up in January, they informed him that the kidney had failed and he had to do another transplant. The money was not complete and I had to run around to get cash and a donor.
Did you get a donor?
The process was difficult but we got somebody eventually. After running tests, giving him money, securing visa and ticket for him, he ran away three days before he was due to travel. We were now left with the option of trying to see if I could donate. We ran a test, they gave me some drugs and I was told that if I took them religiously I would be fit enough to donate in a short while. I went there in May, came back to Nigeria, stayed till June and travelled to India for the transplant in July. They ran the test and discovered that I was fit.
Now you are left with one kidney, how does it feel?
What the doctors told me was that I can live with one kidney, there are some people born with one kidney. One doesn't need two kidneys unless one of the kidneys is discovered to have issues.
How expensive was the transplant?
It depends on where you want to do the operation. The first time, we went to a hospital where we spent between N5.4m to N6m. This time, we went to a cheaper hospital rated among the top five best hospitals in the world. There, we spent less than N5m.
Your brother has received a kidney before, are you worried that this one might fail also?
Yes. Sincerely, what made the first one fail was because his drugs finished, he was to go to India but the resources were not enough so we ordered for drugs which came in three weeks too late.
That means he has to live on drugs for the rest of his life?
Have you found out why his kidney keeps failing?
For this one, it is because he missed his drugs but for the previous one, the doctors explained that hypertension, diabetes that are not well managed could be the cause. He had high Blood Pressure and they were treating it over here without knowing that it was affecting the kidney. Also, he did not do Kidney Function Test. If he had done that, we would have known early enough to correct it with dialysis. The doctors advised that every normal person should undergo KFT once a year. It is not even expensive, at the research institute in Yaba, it is done for N2, 500.
What has the whole experience taught you about life?
It makes me see life from another angle. I saw a very rich young man over there but he could not find a donor because the law says your donor has to come from your family and it has to be free of charge. He had no family member that could donate. He will live on dialysis for the rest of his life.
Would you donate for someone who was not your brother?
Yes. With the education I have received. They told me the risks involved, which include infection and possibly death but after the surgery, they tested me for infections and I had none.
Do you have to alter your lifestyle at the moment?
No but I cannot lift heavy weights above 20kg and I should not be involved in physical fights or running.
