Kids show enthusiasm for, yes, vegetables
This group doesn't need encouragement to love broccoli
Then, both girls enthusiastically shared their knowledge with me, not only of how to cook broccoli, but also cauliflower and brussels sprouts. Monaghan proudly proclaimed that her father made the best mashed cauliflower.
When we arrived back at home, the girls artfully arranged the vegetables on the table, took pictures of them and started to paint on small canvases with watercolors. They were not interested in cooking just then, even with gentle urging from Kristi. They said they would do it later, and promised that they would write down recipes. I would have to come back in a week, and they would cook for me.
Two more girls joined Ella and Monaghan the following week for the cooking demonstration. Cami, who is 11, lives next door. She is a creative cook who invented her own recipes. Brussels sprouts were her choice. Zia, another classmate, came with her father, Steve.
The girls started prepping their recipes on a picnic table out in the garden. Zia was assigned to assist Ella, who was preparing a dish using broccoli and romanesco — a recipe the girls called Space Broccoli.
Monaghan had decided to make her father's mashed cauliflower. She broke off individual florets from a large head of cauliflower and handed them to Kristi to steam. Expertly, she flattened and crushed cloves of garlic, counting out the amount for each of the girl's recipes. In the meantime, Cami worked with precision on the brussels sprouts, skillfully holding the knife as she trimmed off the hard stem and then sliced each sprout exactly in half.
In the kitchen, Cami sautéed the brussels sprouts to perfection with crushed garlic in olive oil before dressing them with great care with squeezes of lime juice, sumac powder and black salt. Ella stood steadfast in front of the stove, stir-frying a large batch of broccoli and Space Broccoli (romanesco) with olive oil and garlic in a big skillet. After tasting, she added just a couple pinches of salt. Monaghan also began to sauté garlic cloves in olive oil and butter before adding the steamed cauliflower and mashing them. As she blended in chicken broth and milk, she decided it needed more butter.
I watched these girls working happily together. As they chatted with one another, laughing and singing, I found myself becoming emotional. How adventurous, imaginative and sophisticated they are in their choices of food. These girls really love cooking. Equally amazing, they truly love eating vegetables.

4-H has developed a comprehensive robotics program to inspire young people and develop an early interest in robotics engineering and technology. This new program is part of 4-H's bold goal to engage one million new young people in science by the year 2013 and to address a declining trend in our nation's science, engineering, mathematics, and technology workforce. 4-H Robotics is delivered through 4-H clubs, camps, school enrichment, and after-school programs nationwide. Young people will engage in service learning and community service projects, develop leadership and citizenship skills, and develop numerous life skills taught in 4-H clubs nationwide.
Since this program began in 2009, 43 registered 4-H Robotics clubs have already launched with plans for hundreds more. To find out how you can start your own Robotics club, please contact your Local 4-H Extension office.
4-H Robotics is a unique opportunity to engage volunteers and corporate employees who can offer science expertise, workforce application, and mentoring to 4-H'ers in local communities. To get involved, volunteers can:
A comprehensive curriculum, 4-H Robotics: Engineering for Today and Tomorrow, introduces robotics to youth ages 9 to 18 with beginner, intermediate and advanced skill levels. Young people will develop decision-making and critical thinking skills, and implement an understanding of the scientific and engineering design processes as they build real and virtual robots.
The 4-H Robotics program engages youth and adults together to develop local 4-H Robotics clubs. Volunteers and members work with local 4-H professionals to participate in training events, community service activities, serve as mentors and teachers to younger children in after-school programs, and recruit science experts within the community. They will also determine what level of curriculum is appropriate for their club.
Club members can also decide if they want to get involved with local, regional and national robotics competitions like FIRST. To find out how you can start your own Robotics club, please contact your State 4-H Extension office. To find out about grants and other resources, visit 4-H Grants. You can also sign up for the 4-H Grants listserv to receive email notifications when Robotics grant opportunities become available.
4-H is working to drive interest and attention to this exciting new robotics programming at both the national and grassroots levels. While National 4-H Council will be working to promote 4-H Robotics on the national level through press coverage and online in social media venues like Facebook, we recommend that state and local programs reach out to promote 4-H Robotics locally to schools, after-school programs and drive coverage in their local media.
Use these resources to supplement your local promotional efforts.
4-H Robotics offers a unique opportunity to engage volunteers and corporate employees who can offer science expertise, workforce application, and mentor 4-H'ers in local communities. To get involved, volunteers can:
4-H professionals will receive training and resources to assist in their efforts to develop evaluation strategies and measure the effectiveness of their program. Formative and summative methods will be used to measure the effectiveness of the process used to deliver 4-H Robotics and the impact of the program on youth engagement, attitudes, and knowledge (YEAK).
As the program expands across the 4-H System, data will be collected at the national level to evaluate its implementation and impact. The aggregated evaluation data from the states will be used to refine and improve the program.
4-H staff are encouraged to work with other youth development organizations to replicate 4-H Robotics with youth served by other organizations

You would you TOOL thick sarcasm
I know I would, because I wouldn't think about what Lacey posted. And she's right, so I agree'd.
Lacey is one damn fine lassy. Lolz
Is it acceptable that something of this standard is R rated.
I'm not sure on this matter, I accept R-rated from members that have 'proven' themselves,
but I'm against R rated RP's causing massive R rated posting, so you need to be carefull.
And by you, I mean Ninetales009 and Peeki.
I say keep, just to see how it turns out, but with our current RP-members, I doubt it will cause trouble.

It's just kind of... dumb? That seems mean but I don't know how to describe it

I haven't been posting on the RP board since goodness knows when and I think it's fallen into disarray. I'll get along with posting now, sorry for the absence and lack of leadership.
Just finish up your Relive Hogwarts Profile and get on the Hogwarts Express!
BTW, I'm PM'img Xion, so he'll notice when he gets on that we want him here.

Wooot. Verisimilitude is gonna be great. I hope so. XD
That was very anti-climactic, I have the internet once again!
I'm definitely in for a PokeDream first. A Dragonball Z based RPG style RP, created by me. My last idea for an RP was incredibly hard to write, so I just saved it and moved on. Whenever I'm not lazy, I'll go back and work on it. But for now, who would be willing to join a DBZ based RP?
I might...
If you were to make one would we have our own characters or be taking control of them from the anime?

BACK HOME: Butler, coming off a
successful four-game road stretch, will play five of its next seven
games at Hinkle Fieldhouse, beginning with a key Horizon League
test against Detroit on Thursday, Feb. 4. The game is
scheduled for 7 p.m. (ET) and will be televised in Indianapolis on
WNDY-TV. Butler (18-4) and Detroit (14-8, 7-4 HL) are meeting
for the second in a month. The Bulldogs squeaked out a 64-62
decision in overtime in the first meeting at Detroit's
Calihan Hall on Jan. 10, in what was then a first place
showdown. The Titans are currently tied with Wright State for
second place in the league, both trailing the Bulldogs.
Butler won all four games on its recent road stretch, including
back-to-back victories at Green Bay and Milwaukee last week.
The 75-66 win at Milwaukee stretched Butler's Horizon League
record to 11-0 for the first time in school history.
Butler's homestand will continue with games against Wright
State (Feb. 6) and Loyola (Feb.
Butler's 10-game winning streak matches the sixth-longest in school history.
HOME RULE: The Bulldogs, 15-2 at home a year ago, are 8-0 in Hinkle Fieldhouse this season. Butler has been successful in 65 of its last 71 games at home, including 29 of the last 31 Horizon League contests. The Bulldogs posted a 10-year (2000-09) record of 125-17 (.880) on their homecourt.
The Bulldogs are 37-3 in Hinkle Fieldhouse under head coach Brad Stevens.
NATIONAL SCENE: Butler climbed to No. 15 in the ESPN/USA Today national poll following last week's road victories over Green Bay and Milwaukee, and the Bulldogs re-entered the Associated Press (A.P.) "Top 25" at No. 23. The Bulldogs were ranked in both polls for the first seven weeks of the season and have been ranked in the ESPN/USA Today poll for 13 straight weeks. Butler has been ranked in the "Top 25" of the two national polls each year since 2006-07.
MID-MAJOR WATCH: Butler, riding the nation's third-longest winning streak, has returned to the top spot in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 this week. The Bulldogs hold down the top spot ahead of Northern Iowa and Gonzaga. Butler was ranked first or second in the poll for the first eight weeks of the season.
LAST TIME OUT: The Bulldogs hit 20 free throws in the final 20 minutes and slipped past Milwaukee, 73-66, to wrap up a four-game road stretch. Butler trailed by a point, 35-34, at halftime, but eventually took the lead for good at 56-55 on a lay-up by Ronald Nored with 8:23 remaining. The Bulldogs held onto the lead at the free throw line, where they scored 11 of their final 17 points. Sophomore Gordon Hayward led all players in scoring with 25 points, including 13 of 16 from the charity stripe. The Bulldogs wound up out-scoring host Milwaukee, 27-16, at the free throw line. The win at Milwaukee came less than 48 hours after Butler had beaten second place Green Bay, 75-57, behind the 18-point performance of forward Matt Howard, and completed a four-game road sweep for the Bulldogs.
Butler was unbeaten (9-0) during the month of January for the second straight year.
STEPPING UP: Sophomore Gordon Hayward scored just two points in the first 15 minutes of Butler's game at Milwaukee. But with the game on the line and three teammates in foul trouble, he took over and tallied 23 points in the final 25 minutes. The 6-9 guard scored 17 points in the second half to help the Bulldogs overcome a seven-point deficit and record their 18th win for the fifth consecutive season. He matched his career-high with 13 free throws made, while attempting a career-high 16 charity tosses. He also had six rebounds, one assist and a game-high three steals. And he helped limit Milwaukee's scoring leader Anthony Hill to just two points in the final 15 minutes of the game, after three Butler post defenders had fouled out while guarding the Panther forward. Hayward's 25 points at Milwaukee matched his season-high and the second-highest total of his Butler career.
Gordon Hayward is averaging a team-best 15.6 points at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
ROLE CHANGE: Point-guard Ronald Nored, who has more assists than field goals on the season, found himself taking on a scoring role at Milwaukee. The 6-0 sophomore hit a career-high five of seven shots against the Panthers and tallied a career-high 13 points in the win. It was just his second double-figures scoring performance this season! Nored also had four rebounds and a team-high three assists in the game.
Ronald Nored is third in the Horizon League in assists (3.9) against league foes.
NEW YEAR: Sophomore Shelvin Mack, who tallied 11 points at Green Bay and 13 at Milwaukee, led the Bulldogs in scoring during January. The 6-3 guard averaged 16.2 points in Butler's nine games during the first month of the year, and he scored in double-figures in all nine. Mack began the new year with a career-high 25 points in Butler's home win over Milwaukee, and he topped 20 points in two other contests. He shot .486 (53-109) from the field and .774 (24-31) from the free throw line during the first month of 2010.
Shelvin Mack leads the Bulldogs in scoring in league games (15.5).
SCORING LIST: Junior Matt Howard became the 32nd Butler player to score 1,000 career points with his first field goal in the Bulldogs' home victory over Ohio State. His 11 points at Milwaukee boosted his career scoring total to 1,136 points, good for 23rd place on Butler's all-time scoring list. The 6-8 forward trails Chris Miskel (1992-96) in 22nd place by 34 points.
BRACKETBUSTER: For the fourth straight year, Butler will play one of the feature games in the ESPN BracketBusters weekend series. The Bulldogs will host Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference leader Siena at 11 a.m. (ET) on Saturday, Feb. 20, in a contest that will be nationally-televised on ESPN2. Siena entered the first week of February with a 19-4 record and 13 consecutive victories, the nation's longest active winning streak! Butler's previous nationally-televised BracketBusters games were against Southern Illinois (2007), Drake (2008) and Davidson (2009).

•Gordon Hayward ranks fourth in the Horizon League in scoring (16.1) and third in rebounding (7.8). He's the lone player in the league to rank in the "Top 5" in both scoring and rebounding.
•Shelvin Mack has had 21 straight games in double-figures, after opening the season with just seven points against Davidson. Butler is 21-4 when Mack scores at least 14 points in a game, and 14-1 when the sophomore guard leads the team in scoring.
•Shelvin Mack has led the Bulldogs with a 16.0 scoring average during the team's current 10-game winning streak.

The evolution of cognitive (secondary) networks to enable more efficient spectrum usage will rely on fast and accurate spectrum sensing/mapping, supported by a suitable architecture for data integration and model building. In the first part of the talk, fundamental aspects of the wide-area RF mapping problem as a grand challenge will be highlighted; and some recent work at UW that clarifies sub-system level trade-offs (between scan latency and channel status estimation accuracy, for example) will be described. Next, the evolution of a hybrid architecture - decentralized client-side sensing assisted database updating - is explored. Within this, model-based answers to fundamental questions such as "how much white space capacity is available" as a function of location for U.S. TV bands are developed. The talk will conclude with a description of current efforts for spectrum sharing (co-existence) just underway in the 3 GHz band (broadly) between different primaries (largely government operated communications such as military and non-military radars) and commercial networks (802.11 and 4G LTE).

Opponents of a proposed constitutional amendment limiting marriage in North Carolina outraised supporters of the amendment by a nearly 2-to-1 margin heading into the final days of the referendum campaign.
The anti-amendment Coalition to Protect North Carolina Families told the State Board of Elections this week it had raised nearly $2.3 million since it began raising money late last fall until April 23. Vote FOR Marriage NC reported raising almost $1.2 million.
Coalition campaign manager Jeremy Kennedy said the group has received donations from 9,500 donors, most of them individuals. Vote FOR Marriage reports receiving fewer than 800 separate donations.
Both sides in the amendment clash are benefiting from out-of-state groups and wealthy individual donors for and against gay marriage. Early vote for the May 8 primary concludes Saturday.

As if we don't have enough TV shows to keep up with over the next couple of months—"Red Road," "Hannibal," "Game Of Thrones," "Mad Men" and more—here comes yet another that will definitely take up more of our time. So we apologize in advance if we're not at the multiplex as often as we usually are. But really, who could blame anyone for staying in, especially with something as tantalizing as "Fargo" on the horizon?
Yep, it's a show based on the Coen Brothers' 1996 hit thriller, and they're actually executive producing this one, which takes all the ingredients from their film but places them in Bemidji, Minnesota for a brand new story. But the wintry setting seems to be sticking, with this neat little teaser showing Billy Bob Thornton getting out of the car to scrape the windshield, all while "It Only Hurts for a Little While" by The Ames Brothers plays on the stereo. And the scene is of course a call back to a similar sequence in the original film, which we've included below.
"Fargo" premieres on FX on April 15th. Watch below. [JoBlo]

The Baba Vida Fortress features elements from various periods. The octagonal tower goes back to Roman times. The central keep and its annexes date from the Middle Ages. The rooms overlooking the courtyard were built during the Ottoman occupation. Finally, three of the towers are Austrian. Beyond the barbican and the entrance bastion, one goes through concentric defence walls into the courtyard. There, on the Danube side, you will see a summer theatre. Before leaving, climb to the top of the fortress: the view of the river and of the Balkan to the South is splendid.

|Nebraska State College system offers Governor's Opportunity Award
For the third year, the Nebraska State College System (NSCS) is offering the Governor's Opportunity Award.
A partnership with Gov. Dave Heineman, the scholarship is aimed at Nebraska high school seniors who plan to stay in the state after college and become leaders in their communities.
The Governor's Opportunity Award will cover half of the tuition costs for a student enrolled in one of the three state colleges and can be renewed for four years at Chadron, Peru and Wayne State Colleges.
Three students will be awarded scholarships for 2011-12 academic year.
Students eligible for the Governor's Opportunity Award will have a cumulative ACT score between 21 and 24 or an SAT score ranging from 1500 to 1650, and must plan to attend Chadron, Peru or Wayne State next fall.
Applicants submit an essay detailing their interest in staying in Nebraska after college graduation, how they plan to become a leader in their community and contribute to the state's economic landscape. Grade point average and involvement in activities, organizations and service projects will also be taken into consideration.
NSCS Chancellor Stan Carpenter said, "This award is about helping students who have a real desire to contribute to Nebraska's future and attend college. Our goal is to provide financial assistance to bright, talented, driven individuals who have a commitment to our state. This award will help offset the costs of attending college. We want to ensure that our students' level of debt upon graduation is minimal because we know that with less debt, they are more likely to stay in Nebraska after college."
Application materials are on the Nebraska State College System website at www.nscs.edu under the scholarship tab and can also be obtained from high school guidance counselors.
The deadline to apply is Dec. 1. A committee of NSCS representatives will select the recipients.
The NSCS serves nearly 9,000 students from Nebraska and surrounding states through three geographically diverse institutions.
The three campuses combined offer more than 200 degree, certificate and pre-professional programs accessible on campus, via the Internet, and in several satellite locations throughout the state.


text: So what do you guys think of this little jewel senate bill? Number 6900, it states that any engine with more than 1.9L will be taxed extra on your registration yearly. For instance, a 3.5L is about 300 dollars, and a 5.7L would be about 500 some bucks extra YEARLY! It's been passed in Washington, and they're trying to get it passed in other states. This is gonna really suck for those V8s now. I can't find a good link to the article about it though but I've been hearing about it on the radio. Even my little 2.2L will be charged like an extra 100 bucks a year because of this if it's passed here.

Soft tissue and skin injuries account for more than 14 million outpatient visits each year in the United States. But what are soft tissues, and how does mobilization therapy help relieve pain and injury to them?
Have you ever used this therapy? Share your experience »
Soft tissues are the different kinds of cells that surround and support your organs and skeletal system. They include muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, joints, cartilage, and spinal discs.
Soft tissue injury (STI) is an umbrella term for any type of injury to connective tissue. Common types of injury are:
- sprains
- strains
- contusions
- tendonitis
- burstitis
- stress injuries
These injuries usually affect your muscles, tendons, and fascia. Fascia are the connective tissues that surround, connect, or support your muscles, organs, bones, blood vessels, and nerves.
STIs occur when your muscles are abnormally tense. Your muscles work by tensing up and contracting, then relaxing. They get shorter when they contract. This causes movement in the part of the skeletal system they're attached to.
Pain, muscle weakness, a restricted range of motion, and a misalignment of the skeletal system can result if the muscle doesn't relax completely. Other soft tissue injuries can happen acutely. For example, when you twist your ankle or pull a tendon in your groin.
Mobilization therapy can relax tense muscles, break up scar tissue, and reduce fluid build up in the tissue. Soft-tissue mobilization is a manual therapy that is said to relax tense muscles, reduce scar tissue, and stretch or lengthen your fascia. It does this via a number of techniques, including applying gentle pressure and stretching the affected tissue. Sometimes doctors use ergonomically designed tools. This is called instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization.
STI treatment begins with a physical examination to assess your overall condition. This can identify hot spots and determine the range of motion in your affected joints. From there, you'll be advised on a course of action. This may include a number of therapy sessions.
Mobilization therapy treats problems affecting the upper and lower extremities, as well as neck and back pain. Problems in the upper extremities include:
- tennis elbow
- golf elbow
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- tendinitis of the biceps and rotator cuff
- contractures
Problems in the lower extremities include:
- tendinitis of the heel and knee
- sprained ankle and knee
- hip replacement
- quadriceps tendon strain or tear
- shin splints
- plantar fasciitis
- Morton's neuroma
Mobilization therapy is provided by a number of health professionals. These include occupational therapists, physical therapists, osteopathic physicians, chiropractors, and massage therapists.
How mobilization therapy works is not fully understood. Most clinical studies have either been too small or involved only animals.
"Soft-tissue mobilization has been suggested to have an array of benefits, however most of the claims are in fact not supported by the research," says physical therapist Shane Hayes, BAppSc (Physio), PostGrad (SportsPhty), who works with Olympic athletes.
"Evidence shows us that you can't break down tissues, release muscles, or change muscle structure."
In fact, the effect may actually be neurological, not physical. "The benefits instead may lie in psychological and neurological mechanisms. The sensation of touch that occurs is the key actually," says Hayes.
"The sensation or pressure provides a neural input to the brain which subsequently may result in a decrease in … neural activity to the muscle."
The Takeaway
The first step in treating a sprain or strain is to follow RICE. That stands for rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Mobilization therapy may provide relief for some people with strains and other connective tissue damage.

The word devil is rooted in the ancient Greek term diavolos, which translated into English means accuser or slanderer. This figure is represented not just in the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, but also in various other religions around the world. In most religions the devil is an ultra powerful supernatural being, the whole personification of all evil, and the enemy of both mankind and God. The devil is regularly connected by his nature to infidels, unbelievers, criminals, heretics, and pagans. Of course within Christianity and Judaism, the devil is simply another name given to Lucifer or Satan, the notorious fallen angel who rebelled against God, and was ultimately cast out of heaven by the mighty archangel Michael. Some regard the devil as a literal spiritual entity that actually exists, while other see him as an allegory to a crisis of faith, free will, individualism, wisdom, hope, love, connectedness, or spiritual enlightenment.
With regard to standard Christian dogma, it is widely believed that the Devil and God are perpetually fighting for the souls of mankind, with the respective destinations of each force being either heaven or hell. It is also thought that the Devil commands legions of demon or evil spirits, that not only wreak havoc amongst the living, but regularly lure humans into committing sins against God. The Christian belief in the Devil originates from the Old Testament scripture that describes the serpent that tricked Eve into sinning, thus setting into motion not only sin itself, but also it's direct fruit, which is death. The Devil or Satan, develops as the Old and New Testament of the Bible unfolds, with such epic endeavors as his task of trying to tempt Jesus Christ into sinning. From start to finish the Devil shows up in various portions of Biblical scripture, with the Book of Revelation finally laying out a prophecy regarding the Devil's final end and demise.
The concept of the devil is quite common even outside of religious beliefs, where even some atheists tend to label anything bad as a work of the devil. Whether it be a figure of speech, or the personification of all things wrong with the world at large, the concept or idea of the devil is very much alive and well amongst most people and societies, in one form or another. Unfortunately the devil concept is also used to personify not only the evils of mankind, but also it's differences. For example it is still quite common even in the contemporary world for races, cultures, social groups, or economic classes to label each other as the devil, or spawns of the devil, and sadly it is often meant in the literal sense. Outside of any organized religion, it could probably be concluded that the concept of the devil was one of the very first concepts to be defined by mankind, and it undoubtedly dates back to well beyond even basic human civilizations.
A concept that is somewhat unorthodox when compared to more mainstream beliefs, is that the devil and God are one in the same, or two faces of the same deity. People that subscribe to this notion often reject the age old notion of duality, such as good verses evil, or good deeds verses sin. Other unorthodox belief systems include devil worship, or Satanism, which basically entails worshipping the devil in place of God, for various purposes and reasoning. It is often thought that worshipping the devil comes with certain extra human powers, which are accepted in trade for selling one's soul to the devil. There are blood rituals and a whole host of bizarre symbolism attached to devil worship, some of which play into or focus upon anything that could be considered as being unacceptable by any particular mainstream social or religious system, a sort of rebellion against all social norms. Lucifer the rebel without a cause, the James Dean of Hades.

Walt Disney World Fridge Recall
I do not want to be the person to share bad news, but it's gotta be done. If you are heading to Disney World in the next 3-5 months, you will want to listen to this. Disney announced that they are disconnecting and removing the mini fridges out of all resorts (with the exception of Art of Animation Family Suites, All Star Music Family Suites, Villas and Fort Wilderness Cabins). This is due to a recall on the fridges. Disney stated that they will be replacing the fridges, but that it could take up to 4 months for all to be replaced. They did not release any schedule as to which resorts will be done first or when they expect to be finished.
If you need a fridge for medical reasons, you should contact Disney to put that request/medical note on your reservation. Disney said that for anyone wanting a fridge, to call and have a request put on the reservation. They will have some fridges available at each resort, but they are not guarantees that even with a request you will be granted a fridge. The fridges will first go to those who have a medical need for them and then whatever is left is first come, first serve.
I will keep you posted on any additional information regarding the fridge replacement.

Doug Shapiro
Inducted March 28, 1999
Sport: Cycling
Local cyclist, Doug Shapiro, is one of the top cyclists ever produced in the United States. Dougs list of cycling accomplishments is quite impressive: NY State Champion (1980), member of the 1980 US Olympic Team (these games were boycotted bt the US); 2nd place finish in the Coors International Bicycle Classic (the top bicycle race in the US at the time); 3rd place finish in the Coors Classic in 1983. He won the country's most prestigious race in 1984. Doug "The Bullet" Shapiro was one of the most premier cyclists in the country. Doug was a true team player and always played a key role in helping his team whenever possible. The reason he is so well liked is because of his tremendous attitude. In 1980 Doug was presented Suffolk County's Medal of Honor. This medal was presented only six times in the last twenty years and among the recipients was master builder Robert Moses.
In 1987, Doug broke his hip twice with a metal pin holding his hip in place. He was told to retire, but with a protected hip pad, Doug decided to race the 1988 National Capitol Open in Washington D.C. Later that same year, he raced in the nationally televised Las Vegas Sports Festival Criterium and won both races. The thing that impressed most who followed his career was his tremendous psychological stability and consistency.
In 1985 Doug became the third American to ever compete and finish The Tour de France, the most prestigious bicycle race in the world. From 1985-89, Doug competed in Europe and America on some of the most prestigious professional cycling teams - at different times his teammates included Greg Lemond and Eric Heiden.

The York Rite of Pennsylvania is a collection of separate Masonic Bodies that work together by sharing resources and ideas. The three primary bodies in the York Rite are the Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, the Council of Royal & Select Master Masons, and the Commandery of Knights Templar. Since the York Rite is actually a grouping of separate organizations joined in together in common purpose, each body operates with relative autonomy. Though they are referred to as one "Rite" it is common for individuals to be member of some bodies and not others.
The York Rite journey starts with the Chapter of Royal Arch Masons. You must be a member of this group before you can join a Council or a Commandery. In most cases, a Chapter will meet in the same place as a Council, a Commandery, or both. This provides an easy route along the path.
The degrees along the journey are like milestones, each offering a rich tapestry of symbols and stories that expand upon the ideas taught in your home Lodge. Once the degrees are conferred you'll be a part of a group of familiar faces that meets, in many cases, right where your Lodge does, making it easy and convenient to attend meetings.
The York Rite also recognizes the importance of time management by offering many of the same opportunities as your Lodge, but with less burden placed on your time and resources. It also places great importance on being a man and having a time and place to meet with your fellows and enjoy their company. Sometimes it's nice to bring your family along as well, so, many local groups hold family and ladies nights too. The bodies of the York Rite offer such a wide array of possibilities that it truly is the next step on your Masonic Journey!

NEWARK, N.J. – Even on a rare off night offensively, Maya Moore found ways to help her team win.
She had 11 points and 10 rebounds as the Minnesota Lynx beat the New York Liberty 73-47 on Tuesday night.
"She was struggling offensively but found different ways to impact the game," Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve said. "Deflections, hustle plays, she's a winner and that's what winners do."
Moore, who was coming off a career-high 35 points in her previous game, was 4 for 11 from the field.

"You always have to find ways to help your team," she said. "Sometimes it's scoring, but it's always working hard."
That was never more evident than in the fourth quarter; with her team up 20 points, Moore made a spectacular save of a loose ball, diving into press row. Lindsay Whalen, who led the Lynx with 18 points, converted the play into a layup on the other end.
"I don't know that Maya knew we were up 20," Reeve said. "She and everyone else on this team have a mindset that every possession matters."
Minnesota (21-7) has the best record in the league.
New York (11-17) fell 1½ games behind Indiana for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Liberty will host the Fever on Friday night.
"We laid an egg tonight, but at the same time we come up to a bunch of basketball games now where if you look at a piece of paper we can win every one," New York coach Bill Laimbeer said.
Other game
At Sparks 91, Sun 78
Candace Parker scored 28 points, Nneka Ogwumike contributed 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Los Angeles (20-8) beat Connecticut (7-20), which has the worst record in the league.

Comments about Korg CM-100L Contact Microphone:
This pickup is the only choice for someone who plays a quiet instrument (I play bassoon). All of the tenor saxes, baritones and bass clarinets drown me out when I tune, and this guarantees that the tuner will only register your note, and not the person blasting their brains out.
Comments about Korg CM-100L Contact Microphone:
The contact mic basically picks up the vibrations coming from an instrument which is really neat. Just by clipping this onto the bell of my trumpet and the tuner (I use the Korg CA30) will pick up the sound just as well if it was getting it by the built-in mic. So if you're in a room filled with blasting saxophones, clarinets, trombones, etc, it's an awesome item to use as it won't detect them one bit!
Comments about Korg CM-100L Contact Microphone:
I just used this over the weekend and it makes it so much easier to read the tuner. Takes a lot of the guess work out setting up the Pipe Chanter.
Comments about Korg CM-100L Contact Microphone:
Excellent pick-up microphone particularly, for low range instruments like double bass. Out performed other brands I have tried. Long cable and 1" clipping opening come handy. Irreplaceable in noisy environment.

When news broke Monday that Ohio would be the 25th state to expand Medicaid, there were plenty of cheers on the left. After months of negotiations with lawmakers that repeatedly broke down, Republican Governor John Kasich, who has made the expansion a centerpiece of his agenda, decided to take a new tact. With the legislature out of session, Kasich, through his Medicaid director, requested a waiver from the federal government to expand the existing Medicaid program without the assembly's approval. It was an unusual move. He got permission to spend the money from a

The Rs 1,14,450-crore Gujarat budget for 2013-14 proposed by Finance Minister Nitin Patel in the Assembly on Wednesday, the first of Chief Minister Narendra Modi's newly-elected government, sought to tell the Gujarat growth story vis-a-vis India's and achieve the five-year dream in the first year itself. As Modi said in a release, "The new budget would build new confidence among people and showcase state's potentialities before the world."
Focussed on youth and farmers, it announced new missions and schemes, referring to India as one of "the youngest nations". The budget announced skill development corporations and foreign language courses to be taken up by the education department.
A press statement by Modi said, "Even as the Central government earmarks just 35 per cent of the Union Budget for development work, Gujarat spends 65 per cent of its budget on development work." He added, "Although the state government was elected for a five-year term, it resolves to fulfil the people's aspirations from the very first year itself. Although Gujarat's contribution to the nation during the 12th Five Year Plan has begun in the outgoing financial year, the state government proposes to take Gujarat to greater heights, contributing a lion's share to the nation's development as well, for a prosperous future."
While Patel's budget speech termed malnutrition as a "national problem", the CM's statement said "the new budget would also handsomely contribute to women's empowerment and their welfare, to healthcare and create awareness against malnutrition". For its mission "Balam Sukham" the government has allocated Rs 24 crore to improve "the status of nutrition". This is besides Rs 1,094 crore allocated under the Integrated Child Development Scheme.
Identifying a "neo-middle class youth", Patel's said, "We intend to launch a massive campaign to prepare skilled manpower in line with requirements of international trends and fulfil the expectations of the neo-middle class youth".
A Rs 70-crore allocation was made for youth related activities to celebrate the 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda.

You've patiently waded through summer's gauntlet of distractions: the oppressive heat, your totalitarian children demanding trivialities like attention and love, and Utah's glut of sportsmen swarming the banks of the worst kept "secret spots" along the Weber and Strawberry Rivers. For your long suffering each year, fall offers a few short months of holy respite. The kids shuffle back to school, half the outdoorsmen hang up their rods in favor of bows or rifles, and finally you have enough elbow room to cast into the fall spawning frenzy of Browns—Utah's most abundant trout species.
To celebrate your victory, join the Four Seasons Fly Fishers as they host the unofficial kickoff to fall fly fishing season this Friday and Saturday along the banks of the Provo River. The fifth annual Heber Valley Fly Fishing Festival promises two days of free clinics, classes and competitions headlined by Fall River Flyrods' master craftsman Jason Zicha and the anglers of High Country Fly Fishers, the Stonefly Society and Utah Anglers Unlimited.

Youth ages 15 and under can also participate in the Provo River Kids Fly Fishing derby on Saturday from 10 a.m. To 3 p.m. as well. Competitors in the catch and release event will vie for the honors of biggest catch plus a new fly rod and reel combo.
Amateur adults can compete in the casting competition and will be judged for distance and accuracy while the pro division will pit local guides against each other. Those simply wishing to spectate can enjoy live music both evenings as well free BBQ. Wherever you land on the fly fishing spectrum, this year's festival will still have something fantastic for you to do.

The last few years have led to the worst job market that I have seen in my lifetime. Lots of students are graduating from college only to find that they are unable to find gainful employment. There are a hundred people or more applying for every single job opening. In order to give yourself the best chance at finding a good job, you need to select the right major. Selecting the right major can lead to a high starting salary and lots of career opportunity. So, what major should you select?
A number of majors offer good starting salaries and job growth over the next decade. Engineering, medicine, and business are all solid career tracks but one major outshines them all. This major currently boasts the number one job in the country which is a software architect. The number one major for future college graduates is computer science. Computer science majors learn all about the construction of databases, algorithms, programming, graphics, and analyzing systems.
Computer Science
Information technology is not only the future but it is the present as well. We live in the digital age and almost every single aspect of society relies on technology to perform their duties. The manufacturing and construction industries use technology to build cars, planes, and equipment. Office professionals, executives, and assistants rely on technology to conduct business on a daily basis. You cannot even visit the grocery store without seeing the power of automation at the self checkouts.
Computer science is the number one field for anyone entering the market today. The number one profession for projected job growth over the next few years is software architect. Computer science majors come out of school making over $65k and can expect salaries in the six figures after a few years in their careers. Computer science is such a lucrative profession that you almost cannot go wrong picking a track. Systems analysts, software architects, and software engineers all make great salaries.
Why You Should Major In Computer Science
The problem is that the United States companies have a difficult time finding enough computer science majors. Computer science is one of those majors that not enough student select when attending college. Students have to be proficient in mathematics and science in order to find success in this field. Unlike many majors however, a four year degree is enough to gain a high salary. The great thing about the computer science field is that demand will only pick up for this profession over the next decade.
