Bo Schembechler, Football Great of Michigan, Dies
Bo Schembechler, who took the University of Michigan to 13 Big Ten championships and a host of bowl appearances in becoming one of college football's most renowned coaches, died today after collapsing during the taping of a television show. He was 77.Enlarge This Image Eric Risberg/Associated Press
Bo Schembechler, who died Friday, compiled a 194-48-5 record at Michigan from 1969-89 and was seven-time Big Ten coach of the year. More Photos »Multimedia Slide Show Bo Schembechler, 1929-2006
His death was confirmed by Mike Dowd, chief investigator with the Oakland County Medical Examiner's Office in Michigan. WXYZ-TV in Southfield, Mich., said Schembechler became ill and collapsed at 11:42 a.m. while taping a show at that station and was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where he died.
Schembechler's death came a day before the second-ranked University of Michigan Wolverines were to play the top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus, Ohio — the latest showdown in the century-old rivalry between the teams.
When Schembechler became Michigan's head coach in 1969, its glory years under Fielding Yost and Fritz Crisler were long gone. The 100,000-seat Michigan Stadium had seldom been filled in recent seasons, and the Michigan band was finding fewer occasions to hail the maize and blue with the marching song "The Victors." The Wolverines had gone to the Rose Bowl only once in the previous 18 years.
But on Nov. 22, 1969, Schembechler put his stamp on a new day for Michigan with its 24-12 upset over top-ranked and undefeated Ohio State and Coach Woody Hayes, his former mentor.
Schembechler coached at Michigan for 21 seasons, taking his teams to 17 bowl games, including 10 Rose Bowls, with stars like quarterbacks Jim Harbaugh and Rick Leach, running backs Butch Woolfolk, Jamie Morris, Rob Lytle and Leroy Hoard, wide receiver Anthony Carter and offensive linemen Dan Dierdorf and Reggie McKenzie.
Usually emphasizing the ground game and always preaching strong defense, Schembechler had a record of 194-48-5 at Michigan. He was the winningest coach in school history. When he retired after the 1989 season with a record of 234-65-8 — encompassing 6 seasons at Miami of Ohio and the 21 years at Michigan — he had more career victories than any Division I coach then active.
There were, however, some setbacks. Schembechler's Michigan teams were only 2-8 in the Rose Bowl, and he never took Michigan to a national championship.
Schembechler was the epitome of blazing intensity. He paced the sidelines, waving his arms and sometimes smashing headsets when the referees incurred his ire. He had a heart attack hours before Michigan's 1970 Rose Bowl game against Southern California and underwent heart-bypass surgery. He had open-heart surgery again in 1987. But his combativeness barely dimmed, and to his players he was always an imposing presence.
"It's like this big balloon walking behind you," Hoard, the star fullback, told The New York Times during Schembechler's last season. "Sometimes I have this dream. You know those big balloons they have on the floats in the Thanksgiving Day parades? It's like one of those balloons is the head of Bo and it's following me."
Glenn Edward Schembechler was born and reared in Barberton, Ohio, the son of a firefighter. He gained his nickname when his sister Marge could say only "Bobo" while trying to call him "brother."
Schembechler was an offensive lineman at Miami of Ohio when Hayes was the head coach, and he was an assistant to Hayes at Ohio State for five seasons before returning to Miami of Ohio as its head coach in 1963.
Schembechler was especially remembered for The Ten Year War — his Michigan teams' battles against Hayes and Ohio State from 1969 to 1978 in one of the game's biggest rivalries. Schembechler gained a slight edge, 5-4-1.
Schembechler spoke of those games between the Big Ten's perennial powerhouses in "Bo" (Warner, 1989), an autobiography written with Mitch Albom. "It was everything I lived for," he wrote. "Win, and you were in heaven. Buckeyes against Wolverines. Woody against me."
But Schembechler told also of his debt to Hayes. "His temper was, at times, inexcusable," Schembechler said in the book. "But he shaped me and everything I do with a stamp of passion and strength."
Schembechler was also athletic director at Michigan from July 1988 to January 1990. Just before the 1989 N.C.A.A. basketball tournament, he removed Bill Frieder as the basketball coach after learning that Frieder had agreed to become the Arizona State coach the following season. Steve Fisher, an assistant coach, guided Michigan to the tournament championship, then was named by Schembechler as the new head coach.
After retiring from Michigan in 1990, Schembechler, a left-hander pitcher in college, was named president and chief operating officer of the Detroit Tigers, a post given to him by the owner, Tom Monaghan, a longtime supporter of Michigan athletics. But Monaghan fired Schembechler in August 1992, together with Jim Campbell, the Tigers' chairman, a week after agreeing to sell the team to Mike Ilitch.
At the height of his fame, Schembechler was the state of Michigan's pre-eminent sports figure. He also became something of a philosopher.
"Football is the American game that typifies the old American spirit," he said. "It's physical. It's hard work. It's aggressive. It's kind of a swashbuckling American sport. Football is not going to die. It is our American heritage."

Haven't you seen "pulp fiction"? Seriously, there are some messed up people out there.
this thread is making me sad about the state of humanity. Why are people (and geese....and stuff lying in the way....and teenage boys) so rude/antisocial/scary? I think we need a happy thread to balance it out.
Maggie & Molly
I've had to stop dead in my tracks because a flock of geese decided to block the road. Seriously, they would start to 'attack' if I tried to go through. After a few minutes they finally left and I went on my way. (cars and everything were just sitting there for a bit)
almost run over by an 18 wheeler taking a left handed turn. He figured he was bigger than me I guess.
On have to say I haven't really gotten the nasty teenager stuff, thankfully, I have gotten a lot of "you go Mamma" type comments from the teens that frequent my roadways. that always makes me smile.
"It does not matter how slow you go so long as you do not stop."Wisdom of Confucius
True story (I'm still getting over it):
Log Crusted Salt comics #200
I was running in a 5k in Asheville NC. We ran by Carrier Park and a woman was hanging dead from a tree. Over 1000 runners gasp together
I don't think anyone is gonna top that one.
I trip over my dog about twice a year. She gets freaked out by my headlamp sometimes and just stops right in front of me..I trip over her, then she sits down and looks at me like I'm nuts for being sprawled out on the sidewalk.
I run at night sometimes always with my shepherd. Anyways I'm going along and this dark beat up car goes creeping past. Then turns around on a side street and comes back toward me. I was trying to not freak out when they rolled down the window and stopped. there were 2 guys and a girl. The driver said something along the lines of my cousin's looking for a date. I looked at them funny and he said we are having a debate. You aren't from around here are you? I replied yes I am. Dude "what's your name?" I said "I'm (dh's) wife. They got all flustered. Apologized and drove off. I'm pretty sure alcohol was involved. it was the strangest conversation. Thankfully never had anything thrown at me but I'm attacked daily by other dogs.
Slower than I look
Three events come to mind.
1) My buddy and I were running down a paved trail through a wooded area when what appeared to be an extremley large house cat strolled out onto the path in front of us. We both stopped in our tracks becase it kind of just squared up and stared at us. We then realized it was far too large to be a house cat; it was a mean looking Bobcat. Then another one slinked across the trail and it gave us a low warning growl before slowing moving back off into the woods.
2) We nicknamed the path from #1 "Snake Path" due to the high probability of seeing all kinds of snakes on it after heavy rains. Also, those big yellow and black spiders (we called them banana spiders) liked to build webs across the path at about sholder height and would be tough to see sometimes. So we had two warning calls; "SNAKE!" & "SPIDER!". You were supposed to jump for the former and duck for the latter which saved us from danger on many occasions. We would often debate what might happen if a snake & spider occupied the same territory of our running path though we never got to find out.
3) I was running down the Las Vegas strip area this past January at about 5am. A visibly intoxicated man came stumbling out of a casino in front of me wearing a full suit, tie, loafers, etc. When he saw me he started screaming "Woohoo! Running! Wooooooh!" and began running next to me waving his arms and pumping his fists in the air like he was about to win a race. Not wanting to raise his drunken ire, I joined in with the screaming and fist pumping. He kept up with me for like a tenth of a mile before stumbling over and vomiting.

I've never been harassed, thank goodness, by people or animals.
My wildly inconsistent PRs:

Marathon: 4:19:11 (10/2/2011)
Bacon Party!
I got mooned from a passing pick-up this weekend while running an ultra. The runner next to me at the time didn't see it, but I'm pretty sure it was not an hallucination.
pace sera, sera
Queen of 3rd Place
Right in the neighborhood, coming up at night to a parked car and a couple was up against it in flagrante delicto, that was cute.
Have been charged a couple times by dogs and yelling at them has always worked quickly, until last weekend, when I had to stop, yell and walk repeatedly at a couple of big ranch dogs who had gotten out and wouldn't leave me alone. I tried my pepper spray but they stayed just out of range. Might have to get a more serious pepper-spray dispenser.

---Chased by a Zombie?
Kinda! On a ridge near my house, 1500 ft above and several miles from civilization, at 8:30 am on a foggy, misty February AM, I crossed path's with a guy who had apparently spent the night in the woods picking and eating wild shrooms. Dressed in nothing but cotton boxers. He was acting pretty threatening so I circled around and called 911. Turns out a sheriff was already on the way up the hill as the zombie had threatened some MTBers also.
oh yeah, I forgot about the woman who was walking in the opposite direction from me. She was wearing a wrap of some sort and sandels. As I passed her she turned around and started to run with me. Never said a word. She was little and much older so didn't stay with me long but it was so strange. I've never seen her again.

Harry Allen's Brush Vase (silver or white)
Designer Harry Allen's Brush Vase in White brings back the raw excitement of a blank canvas that I often felt as a child in art class. Of course, that was before I realized that I'm terrible at painting. Even if you are a Picasso of sorts, this vase allows you to put down your brushes and take time to assemble the roses. Your guests will inquire about your eye for design as well as art. Harry Allen's Reality Series celebrates a tradition of found art by immortalizing objects that typically pass unnoticed. He dips objects like Rollerskates, nuts, bananas, (even his own hand!), in resin to create a mold. The result becomes art that wins the approval of Marcel Duchamp appreciators. The Brush Vase in White as well as the Bestow Vase/Candle Holder recently featured in NY Times Home and Garden, are both part of this curious collection. For more work by Harry Allen, please go here.

30 Years Ago: 'VOA' Makes Sammy Hagar a Household Name
30 years ago, Sammy Hagar stood on a career precipice that neither he, nor anyone else paying attention, could possibly have glimpsed. Heck, he and everyone else probably simply thought he was releasing his eighth solo studio album, 'VOA.' But, as history would soon carve indelibly in stone, the album would mark the line in the sand that has since defined his long and colorful career. The line between "before Van Halen" and "after Van Halen."
Don't point this out to to poor Sammy, though. He'd be the first to slap his forehead and quite understandably ask, "How can you possibly reduce decades of work to a single event, however momentous this one may be?" And he'd be right because, after all, Hagar built his solo career the old fashioned way: he earned it!
Year by year, concert by concert, and album by album, beginning with his 1976 solo debut 'Nine on a Ten Scale' — not to mention his previous stint as the singer for Montrose — Hagar had painstakingly established himself as a force to be reckoned with. And then, after a handful of solid, but modestly performing LPs, Hagar really hit his stride as the '80s got under way: swapping Capitol for Geffen Records, scoring his first platinum album with 1981's 'Standing Hampton,' and making his maiden voyage into the Billboard Top 20 with 1982's gold-certified 'Three Lock Box.'
It was therefore with great optimism that Hagar and his faithful backing band (guitarist Gary Pihl, keyboardist Jesse Harms, drummer David Lauser and bassist Bill Church — a fellow Montrose survivor) dove headlong into recording the eight tracks that would drive 'VOA,' higher and faster into the music-buying public conscience than any Hagar product preceding it. "Drive" being the operative word, of course, since it was 'VOA's' first song and single — the irrepressible 'I Can't Drive 55' — which accelerated Hagar onto the rock radio airwaves and into the public consciousness like never before. (It should be noted that 1983's 'Your Love is Driving Me Crazy' went higher on the pop charts.) Thanks to the rising reach and influence of MTV, the song's high-octane video made him a household name as well.

Follow-up focus tracks like 'Two Sides of Love' (an expertly designed power ballad) and 'VOA's' title track (named after the State Department's international 'Voice of America' radio broadcasts) kept the Hagar chatter, uh, chattering, and convinced many new fans to take a chance on buying his new LP. There, they found a virtually filler-free selection of FDA-certified, 100% beef red rockers, including the fierce 'Rock is in My Blood,' the chuckle-inducing 'Dick in the Dirt,' another ballad-to-die-for in 'Don't Make Me Wait,' and a cleverly worded tribute to New York City graffiti artists named 'Burnin' Down the City.'
In sum, Sammy Hagar's eighth solo LP crowned a decade of dedicated hard work and self-improvement, and one can only guess how much further this momentum may have carried him, if not for the freak series of coincidences that brought him to Van Halen instead.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/10/2013 (1408 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Winnipeg-born Olympian Clara Hughes helped open a new recreation park in Elmwood Tuesday that bears her name.
The city, province and Ottawa chipped in a total of $758,000 for the skate park, jungle gym and new hockey pad. It's on the site of the former Kelvin community club on Henderson Highway.
Hughes, who has won six Olympic medals, called the site her seventh.
"The things I am most proud of are the things that have involved children, using sport for development," said Hughes.
Also on hand to cut the ribbon on the park was MP Lawrence Toet, Local Government Minister Ron Lemieux and local city councillor Thomas Steen.

In the West, snow over the northern Rockies continues to improve spring runoff prospects, although snowpacks remain unfavorably low in the central and southern Rockies. Dry, milder weather elsewhere is favoring fieldwork.
On the Plains, warmer weather is returning to the region, with today's highs expected to average 5 to 10°F above normal. The recent sharp temperature fluctuations are generally unfavorable for winter wheat, which remains partially exposed to the elements in northern Montana due to a shallow, patchy snow cover.
In the Corn Belt, bitter cold weather is stressing livestock, although the coldest conditions are west and north of primary winter wheat areas.
In the South, cold, dry conditions are settling over the region behind a strong cold front. Recent rain bypassed Florida and the lower Southeast, where drought remains a concern.
Outlook: Arctic high pressure will bring below-normal temperatures to the eastern half of the nation. Within this chilly air mass, bitter cold conditions (up to 25°F below normal) are expected from the upper Midwest into the Ohio Valley. A series of weak disturbances will maintain periods of light snow across the northeastern quarter of the nation, while mostly dry, increasingly mild conditions prevail from the Plains to the Pacific Coast. The NWS 6- to 10-day outlook for February 6-10 calls for near- to above-normal temperatures from the Plains to the Atlantic Coast, with the highest likelihood of unseasonable warmth centered over the middle Mississippi Valley. Cooler-than-normal conditions will be limited to California and the Great Basin. Above-normal precipitation is expected in the Southwest and from the southeastern Plains into the Great Lakes, while drier-than-normal weather is confined to the Northwest as well as the southern Atlantic and Gulf Coast regions.

The Fields of Fire 2nd Edition will include:
Here's a 12-Lesson Video Tutorial on How to Play Fields of Fire (Thanks to Chris Hobbs - great job, Chris!)
Note: All samples below are from playtest graphics, not final game art. GMT Games claims no copyright on these images.
To close with the enemy by means of fire and maneuver in order to destroy or capture him, or repel his assaults by fire, close combat and counterattack – US Army Field Manual FM 7-10: The Infantry Rifle Company.
The Game:
Fields of Fire is a solitaire game of commanding a rifle company between World War II and Present Day. The game is different from many tactical games in that it is diceless and card based. There are two decks used to play. The Terrain Deck is based on a specific region and is used to build a map for the various missions your company must perform. The Action deck serves many purposes in controlling combat, command and control, various activity attempts. The units of the company are counters representing headquarters elements, squads, weapons teams, forward observers, individual vehicles or helicopters. A single playing is a mission and several missions from an historical campaign are strung together for the player to manage experience and replacements. A mission can be played in about 1 – 2 hours.

I notice the topic before this one asks which graphics programs people use, but my question is more specific.
I currently use Photoshop and Illustrator from CS3 on an old PC, but they are overkill for me, expensive and I prefer to actually start using my top of the range iMac for this instead of that old PC.
I don't create images myself (I'm rubbish and don't have the time) but I want to be able to manipulate images, do a few basics (add text, remove background etc.) and then, most importantly, create the relevant files for the web.
Most importantly I want the program to strip out as much as possible and compress it so I just output the file and it's ready to go - rather than have to upload to one of the many compression services out there (PNG Crush, Tiny PNG etc.)
So these I think cover all you could need for the final process to output for the web:
(1) PNG, GIF, JPG files(2) Generate PNG, GIF, JPG Data URI code from an image (so press a button and it displays the code)(3) SVG file (.svg)(4) The relevant <svg> code (which is of course different to creating the .svg file in (3) above)(5) Anything to help with editing of icon fonts / generating (if even necessary)(6) Anything to help with generation of @2x images (for HiDPI/Retina) (if even necessary)
I want a Mac program (preferably on the Mac App store) that is simple, max $100, does the things I want but no need for all the extras and is easy to use without hardly any need to learn all the features.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Short of getting responses here, there are lots of posts on the web listing alternatives to Photoshop. I admit I haven't tried them much, but the list includes things like GIMMP and Pixelmator. You might have to visit each program's website to get a clear idea of what they do. This is an example of the many online pages that talk about such topics:
Thanks Ralph,
However, my problem seems to be finding ones that can do both raster and vector images (and export in those formats).
I'm hoping somebody has experience and can confirm that all of my requirements can be achieved in a particular package.
I don't believe Pixelmator allows export in vector format.
Check out Inkscape, which is like a free version of Illustrator and is great for vector work. You my not be able to find one program that does everything.
Adobe fireworks does most of what you want, albeit out of your price range unless you can get academic pricing
Thanks to everyone for the advice.
I went for Pixelmator (bitmap) and iDraw (vector). They do a lot more than I need and get good file sizes on export. I didn't want a free product.
However, I have a problem:
In Photoshop I can export to the web and add 'dither'.
In Pixelmator, because I can't seem to do this, images (PNG 8 bit) can look dreadful.
What do I do?
Not sure about that. I forgot to mention that Photoshop Elements might be fine for what you need to do, and a lot cheaper than Ps itself.
Anybody else know about dither in Pixelmator?
May be this will help you: http://benthinkin.net/articles/imagery/save-for-web-feature-comparisons

THE AUSTRALIAN Customs and Border Protection Service needs ''massive reforms'' to confront corruption and organised crime, according to the Home Affairs Minister, Jason Clare, who has also vowed that officials involved in graft will be ripped ''out by the throat''.
Mr Clare has also revealed he will eventually place the Australian Taxation Office and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission under the watch of a soon-to-be expanded Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity, closing a major gap in the nation's anti-corruption system.
His comments come a day after Mr Clare's customs reform panel, led by former NSW judge James Wood, had it first meeting and was briefed by the Australian Federal Police and anti-corruption boss Philip Moss on the operations of an alleged drug smuggling cell of Customs officers at Sydney airport.
They also come after revelations last week in Fairfax Media about the alleged involvement of other Customs staff in organised crime and how the chronic under-resourcing of ACLEI had forced it to borrow resources from the agencies it is meant to oversee, including Customs.
Mr Clare told Fairfax he would soon release a Customs reform blue print and predicted the agency overhaul would take between three to five years.
''Massive reform of Customs … is required to improve its structure and its culture," he said. He warned the public to ''expect more arrests''.
The acting chief operating officer of Customs and former high-ranking Defence Department official, Michael Pezzullo, would be appointed to head the troubled agency. Mr Clare refused to confirm the appointment but sources said it was imminent.
Among Mr Pezzullo's first challenges would be automating much of Custom's front-line jobs and shifting the agency's focus onto intelligence gathering to increase the detection of drug and gun importers.
Mr Pezzullo would also face the daunting task of disciplining or re-assigning dozens of staff in connection with misconduct uncovered as part of the ongoing drug smuggling inquiry.
He said an increasing reliance on computerised screening and processing of passengers at major airports would mean ''people doing different jobs", "not necessarily" staff cuts.
''The Asian century means … a big increase in passengers and a big increase in cargo and the key to tackling that challenge is automation," he said.
Asked if he was concerned that suspected corrupt officials were still working at the airport and other locations, he said it was a decision of the Federal Police and ACLEI, who were still running ongoing inquiries.
Mr Clare said he had told both agencies to ''hunt these [allegedly corrupt] people out, rip them out by the throat if necessary and if you need more powers, if you need more resources, just ask".
"I have got Customs officers that are urging me on. I have had officers coming up to me and going, 'good on you, go get them'."
In response to reports that the number of Customs staff under suspicion outnumbered the entire 30-person workforce of the corruption watchdog, Mr Clare said: "I definitely think ACLEI will grow and I am determined to grow its resources."
ACLEI oversees Customs, the Federal Police and the Australian Crime Commission, which have a combined staff of about 13,500.
Mr Clare also said state and federal policing agencies had launched a waterfront corruption taskforce in Victoria, called Operation Trident, and a similar taskforce, Operation Neptune, would be running in Brisbane by July. Operation Polaris has charged several allegedly corrupt NSW maritime workers.

RECIPES: Recipe Details
Slovenian Goulash Burgers to Make My Momma Proud
12 slices hickory-smoked bacon (not maple flavored)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 English cucumber
2 pounds lean ground beef (20-23% fat)
1/4 cup grated onion (about 1/2 of a medium dry, yellow onion)
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons sweet paprika
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
3/4 cup small curd cottage cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
One red onion
One jar (10 ounces or larger) sweet, roasted red bell peppers
One jar (10 ounces or larger) mild pepperoncini or sweet yellow banana peppers
Reserved bacon fat or vegetable oil to wipe the grill rack
6 potato hamburger buns, split
Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill, or preheat a gas grill to high.
Cook the bacon: In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly crisped. Drain the bacon and set aside. If desired, reserve some bacon fat for the grill.
Make the pickled cucumbers: In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water, vinegar, and salt. Place saucepan over a high heat. Stir occasionally until sugar and salt are thoroughly dissolved and liquid comes to a boil. Meanwhile, diagonally cut the cucumber into thin (1/8-inch) slices. Place the cucumber slices in a medium-size, non-reactive (glass, pottery, or stainless) bowl. Pour the boiling liquid over cucumber slices. Weight the cucumber slices with a small plate to keep immersed in the liquid. Set aside until ready to use.
Make the patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, grated onion, tomato paste, paprika, minced garlic, salt, and cayenne. Mix well, handling the meat as little as possible. Form into six patties that are slightly larger than the size of the bun. Cover and set aside until ready to grill.
Make the spread: Press cottage cheese through a sieve into a small bowl. Add sour cream and stir to mix well. The mixture should be uniform, but will be grainy. Set aside until ready to use.
Slice the vegetables: Cut six thin (1/16- to 1/8-inch) slices from the red onion. Slice roasted red peppers into 1/2-inch strips; you will need 24-36 strips. Slice pepperoncini into thin slices; you will need 12 medium or 24 small pepperoncini or banana peppers. Set aside any remaining vegetables for another use.
Grill the patties, re-warm the bacon, and toast the buns: Wipe the hot grill rack with the reserved bacon grease or vegetable oil. Grill the patties about 4 minutes per side for medium-cooked meat. After turning the patties over to cook on the second side, place 2 bacon slices over each patty to re-warm it. At the same time, place the buns on the grill cut side down until well toasted, about 2 minutes. When the patties have cooked to desired doneness, remove them to a warming rack or a warm plate, cover with a lid or foil, and allow to rest while you dress the buns.
Dress the burgers: Spread the toasted bottom bun lightly with some (1-2 teaspoons) of the spread. Top the dressed bottom bun with a grilled and rested patty with the bacon slices on top. Cover the patty with several slices of sweet pickled cucumber, a slice of red onion, several slices of roasted red pepper, and several slices of pepperoncini. Dress the top bun generously with more (1-2 tablespoons) of the spread and close the hamburger.
U slast! (Enjoy!)
My mother's parents were from the same small town in Slovenia—although they did not meet until each had immigrated to America prior to World War I. They raised nine children on a small Kansas farm. True to my mother's farm girl roots, my siblings and I enjoyed wholesome meals, home-preserved foods, and freshly baked goods while growing up in Seattle during the 50s and 60s. I'm sure my mother preferred to shake her farm girl image; she enjoyed traveling, gambling on nickel slots in Reno, and a cocktail every afternoon. She was a fabulous cook with an adventurous spirit. My mother passed away a few years ago. Among her belongings, I received several of her cookbooks, including one published in 1951 by the Slovenian Women's Guild of America. Since her passing, I have been exploring Slovenian cooking. I realize now that there was a lot of my heritage in what I think of as good home cooking. This hamburger is a delicious union of my Slovenian heritage and the classic American hamburger.

Chocolate pudding is a great love of mine. It's so comforting and so satisfying—not to mention so easy to prepare—you'll wonder why you haven't been making chocolate pudding all the time.
Now there's a time when you want the comforts of childhood and this homemade Jell-O-style pudding or Pudding in a Cloud will do. And there are other times when you want a ridiculously decadent chocolate pudding.
But if you love chocolate pudding as much as I do, you want a workhorse pudding—one that's packed with dark chocolate flavor but that doesn't require much fuss in the kitchen. When I want pudding, I want it, like, NOW, and I don't want to separate eggs or buy cream. This pudding takes its richness from whole milk and a healthy amount of 72% cacao chocolate. And if you're a regular baker and chocolate lover, it's made with staples you'll likely find in your own pantry right now—milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, salt, cornstarch, vanilla and dark chocolate—which means within about 20 minutes of reading this post you could be eating your own chocolate pudding.

"My wedding is navy blue and gold, so these will match perfectly. I believe I changed the Table font to navy blue. The design is exactly what I was looking for, and is simple enough to not make tables look too busy. Thank you!"
"I removed the table #____. These are the perfect size & thickness for seating cards. The colors match a pink themed wedding perfectly. I also ordered the matching invitations."
"These turned out perfect! It's very hard ordering items off the internet and hoping they are as perfect in person as they are on the computer screen. These didn't let me down! Beautifully done!"
"In agonizing over how to address placards, it became obvious due to the size that one per person was necessary and I hadn't ordered enough. Re ordered and recd in time for my wedding!"
"This is such a beautiful design! The paper is very sturdy and stands up well on its own, and both the color of the paper itself and the color of the leaves in the design are rich and very pretty. I requested for the designer to slightly change the format of the placecard (we are writing names instead of table numbers on them) and they did exactly what I asked for. I would highly recommend this product to anyone!"

Box Score (PDF)
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – What at first glance appeared to potentially be an uneasy night in the Lehigh Valley quickly turned into a convincing win for Penn as the Quakers used a 10-goal second half to blow past Lehigh, 13-4, on Wednesday.
Before the game was more than five minutes old, the Quakers were trailing by two goals, 2-0. From there, the Quakers scored 13 of the game's final 15 goals to cruise to their fifth win in six games.
Meredith Cain tied her career highs in both goals (four) and points (five) to lead the Quakers. She was joined atop the goal-scoring list by Tory Bensen who also netted four – a new career high for the junior. Maddie Poplawski scored one goal, but was dominant on the draw with a season-high six draw controls to help Penn win that battle on the circle, 10-9.
In a game where just four goals were given up, the defense was undoubtedly a start. The Quakers held Lehigh without a goal on five free position attempts – including an 0-for-4 night for Julie McBrien who entered the season with a 10-for-16 record on eight meter shots. Lely DeSimone was all over the field, with four caused turnovers and two ground balls. As a team, Penn caused 14 of Lehigh's 17 turnovers with Shannon Mangini, Allie Martin, Iris Williamson and Courtney Tomchik each adding two.
The Quakers fell behind early, conceding the first two goals of the game just five minutes into the contest. Lehigh got on the board quickly, forcing a Penn turnover off the opening draw and connecting on a Chelsea Retaleato goal 1:07 into the game. Three minutes later, the Quakers again coughed up the ball, this time on a clear which led to a Nicole Isdaner goal at the 5:03 mark.
The Red and Blue won the ensuing draw, making that win count when Courtney Tomchik scored just over one minute after Lehigh's second goal. That strike from Tomchik started a 3-0 Penn run to finish the opening half – a run which was slow to develop.
After Tomchik's goal, it took Penn the better part of 15 minutes to tie the game via a Tory Bensen goal. Over that span, the Mountain Hawks mustered five shots – three denied via big saves from goalkeeper Lucy Ferguson. Two of the denials were on free positions – 42 seconds apart from Lehigh sniper Julie McBrien.
Maddie Poplawski would give the Quakers the lead with 6:50 to play in the first period, scoring Penn's third unassisted goal of the half. Allie Martin started the opportunity with a caused turnover, which was picked up by Catherine Dickinson and brought down field. A Tomchik shot was just high, but off the second chance, Poplawski connected.
After not registering a goal in the first half, Meredith Cain scorer her first 6:29 into the second half to give Penn a 4-2 lead. Just 1:40 later, Bensen scored her second to make it five unanswered goals for the Quakers after the early Lehigh lead.
With 19:49 to play, Lehigh attempted to regain some momentum with a goal from McBrien, but all that goals served to do was once again ignite the Penn attack. Just shy of a minute after McBrien scored, Cain tallied her second of the game to push Penn's lead back to three goals. That score incited an eight-goal Penn run to close the door on the Mountain Hawks.
The four goals allowed are the fewest conceded by a Penn team since allowing just two against Yale on March 19, 2011. After scoring just 18 goals in their first three games of the season, the Quakers have reached double figures in their last six games – averaging 12.5 over the last half dozen games.
The Quakers are back in action on Saturday in New York City against Columbia in an Ivy League battle at 1 p.m. What at first glance appeared to potentially be an uneasy night in the Lehigh Valley quickly turned into a convincing win for Penn as the Quakers used a 10-goal second half to blow past Lehigh, 13-4, on Wednesday.

When you think of the global retail giant Walmart the first thing that comes to mind probably isn't sustainability. But think again.
The company plans to introduce this initiative in three phases:
First, Walmart will provide each of its 100,000 global suppliers with a survey of 15 questions to evaluate the company's sustainability. The questions will be divided into four areas:
- energy and climate
- natural resources
- material efficiency
- people and community
U.S. suppliers are being asked to complete the survey by October 1st. Outside of the country, timelines will be set up for suppliers to complete the survey.
The consumer king's second step is helping create a consortium of universities, administered by Arizona State University and the University of Arkansas. The sustainability consortium will be comprised of universities that will collaborate with governmental agencies, businesses, and non-government organizations (NGOs) to create a sustainable product index for consumer products. Walmart supplied the initial funding for the Sustainability Index Consortium, and has appealed to retailers and suppliers to contribute.
The final step is providing customers with the information from the index in an easy to understand rating system. How this information is delivered — whether a color coding system or a numeric score — will be determined in coming months and years by the sustainability consortium. Hopefully, the rating system will help consumers make sustainable choices.
After visiting Walmart's website I was impressed how much emphasis they place on sustainability. On the site I found information about climate, energy, zero waste and more. I wasn't aware that the store was so dedicated to the environment and was definitely pleased to find out that the chain is more than just rock bottom prices.

The Australian dollar had a subdued tone on Wednesday after surprisingly weak retail sales data prompted markets to slightly narrow the odds of further interest rate cuts.
The dollar initially climbed as far as $US1.5023 before easing back to $US1.0495 after data showed retail sales fell 0.1 per cent in November, confounding forecasts of a 0.3 per cent rise. It was buying $US1.0505 in late trade.
The weak reading caused swap markets to increase the probability of a quarter point cut to a record low of 2.75 per cent in February to around 40 per cent from 35 per cent.
"The risk is the RBA cuts earlier and deeper than our current cash rate forecast of one more cut in May," said Rob Henderson, chief economist at National Australia Bank.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) eased by 125 basis points last year to lessen a painful strong currency and stimulate a slowing economy, while inflation remains at bay.
Henderson said there was little sign the rate cuts so far were offsetting the negative impact of the high Australian dollar and a decline in the country's terms of trade.
The Aussie nudged down 0.1 per cent on the day with decent buying interest seen at $US1.0450. Resistance was found at $US1.0530 where traders cited stops.
Its downside, however, was limited by a spike in iron ore prices, which climbed a further 3 per cent to its highest in 15 months at $US158.50 a tonne.
The dollar regained momentum on the yen, with the Aussie adding half a yen to 91.72, getting closer to a four-year peak of 92.83 struck on Monday.
Australian government bond futures rose, with the three-year contract up 0.04 points at 97.220. The 10-year contract added 0.015 points to 96.615, leading to a bullish steepening of the yield curve.

After listening to pregame on the radio, I think we're going to get killed.

text: DETROIT ( TheStreet) -- U.S. vehicle sales are expected to show a double-digit gain in December, capping the fourth consecutive year of increases. Experts are predicting light-vehicle sales will climb 10% to 14% this month. For the full year, sales should rise about 13.5%. "December will be the icing on the cake for 2012 -- it's a strong close for a year that had significant auto sales growth throughout," Edmunds.com analyst Jessica Caldwell said in a statement. "Along with the momentum of the improving economy, December car sales have been helped by compelling advertising, generous deals from most automakers, and the rush of demand that was unexpectedly and unfortunately caused by Hurricane Sandy." For the full year, Edmunds projects sales of 14.5 million, which would represent a 13.5% increase over 2011 and the highest annual sales total since 2007. That is "more than a million better than most market forecasts at this time a year ago," Jefferies & Co. analyst Peter Nesvold wrote in a note. U.S. light-vehicle sales totaled 12.8 million in 2011; 11.6 million in 2010; 10.3 million, the lowest in 27 years, in 2009; 13.2 million in 2008; and 16.1 million in 2007. From 1999 through 2007, sales exceeded 16 million. The auto industry expects the positive trend to continue into 2013. LMC Automotive is forecasting sales of 15 million units next year, or 4% growth. "The U.S. light-vehicle sales market continues to be a bright spot in the tremulous global environment," LMC analyst Jeff Schuster said in a statement. "The only major roadblock ahead for the U.S. market is the fiscal cliff. Assuming that hurdle is cleared, 2013 is one step closer to a stable and sustainable growth rate for autos." Added TrueCar.com analyst Jesse Toprak, in a statement: "December continues the trend of exceptional sales due to strong manufacturer incentives, specifically lease and finance deals, and the demand due to Hurricane Sandy in the Northeast. Even with the fiscal cliff still needing to be resolved, automakers can expect a strong year for new-car sales in 2013." A strong housing market and the scheduled introduction of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado are expected to boost pickup truck sales in 2013. The 2013 Dodge Ram is a candidate for the Automotive Press Association's Truck of the Year award, and some experts speculate that Ford ( F) may be preparing to refresh the F150, the top-selling U.S. vehicle for more than three decades. For December, Nesvold wrote, Ford sales should rise about 1.2%, with GM ( GM) sales flat and Chrysler sales up 7.3%. TrueCar expects a 6% gain for Toyota ( TM) and a 32% advance for Honda ( HMC). -- Written by Ted Reed in Charlotte, N.C. Follow @tedreednc

A Barrio Logan leader, a Chinese preservationist and the first woman head of the San Diego Community College District are among this year's inductees to the San Diego County Women's Hall of Fame.
The Hall of Fame began 12 years ago to shine a spotlight on the accomplishments of local women who were quietly bringing about social change and community betterment. To date, 63 women have been inducted. On Saturday evening at UC San Diego's Price Center, past honorees will be joined by five more: Betty Evans Boone, who rolled back the glass ceiling for women lawyers; Constance Carroll, local community college leader; Irma Castro, longtime activist in the Chicano Federation, Casa Familiar and other groups; Aurora Soriano Cudal, champion of the Filipino-American community, and the late Dorothy Hom, a founder of the Gaslamp Quarter and the local Chinese Historical Society.
The Women's Museum of California recently moved to Liberty Station where the Hall of Fame exhibit soon will be remounted for permanent viewing.
Almost official: The groundbreaking formation of a not-for-profit group to market San Diego, Imperial County and the border area of Baja California as a mega region is almost complete.
Its 12 board members will approve bylaws next month at a meeting in Ensenada.
Christina Luhn, the newly official executive director of what is called the Cali Baja Bi-National Mega-Region, said groundwork on the cooperative effort started with a federal grant in 2008.
The San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp. (EDC) is teaming up with the Imperial Valley EDC and their counterparts in Ensenada, Mexicali, Tecate and Tijuana to push for economic development across the entire region.
"This is a big deal," said board member Bob Watkins, explaining that it should, for starters, create more jobs (he points to Imperial Valley's unemployment rate of 28 percent), make the prospect of doing business in Mexico more attractive and stimulate cross-border efforts to produce alternate energy.
Musical chairs: Ann Campbell, longtime director of development and marketing for the San Diego Opera, has received a new opera contract and a new title: deputy general director. "I am delighted with this decision," said Ian Campbell, her husband and the opera's general and artistic director. While the couple has decided to end their long marriage, they are continuing to work amicably together. "Our working relationship remains unchanged and just as involved," Ian said, noting that neither plans to leave, a prospect some close to the opera had feared. They each, in fact, bought units in the same Mission Hills condo development.
Peace, but not quiet: The National Conflict Resolution Center bestowed its 2013 Peacemaker awards Thursday. Recipients were the U.S. Naval Ship Mercy, which travels the world delivering medical and humanitarian aid, and the UC San Diego-affiliated Preuss School, which targets disadvantaged students. In a tribute to Murray Galinson, a board adviser who died recently, the center renamed its Campus Civility Project in honor of Murray and his wife, Elaine. Meanwhile, President Steven Dinkin, who has three young children, joked that now that he has been running the conflict resolution center for 10 years, "You'd think I'd have a little bit of peace in my house." Not.
Around town: Escondido's Holiday Wine Cellar continues to capitalize on current events. When a house filled with explosives was deemed too dangerous to enter and torched by local firefighters, store manager Jim Kern staged an "Explosion Sale." Now that the world has a new pontiff, Pope Francis, Kern says he'll mark all Saint Francis wine from Sonoma 20 percent off this weekend... While there's a cover charge for the St. Patrick's Day block party in the Gaslamp Quarter, there isn't one for the annual performance of Mike Reidy and the In Case Trio at Jimmy Love's pub there. Their annual Irish song fest and singalong music books remain free at the 5th and G bar, renamed Jimmy O'Love's for a day.

Rarely does an opportunity arise for one family to help transform the lives of so many. That time is now as The Bob and Renee Parsons Foundation has teamed up with JDRF (Junior Diabetes Research Foundation) to offer a $500,000 matching grant. The goal and challenge is for the community to match the Parsons and have a $1,000,000 Fund-A-Cure, which means one hundred percent of the million dollars goes directly to JDRF encapsulation research. The match represents a powerful way for JDRF to significantly speed progress in its research.
Beta cell encapsulation represents advances that could become the foundation for a new approach to treating and ultimately curing Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Encapsulated cell therapy has the potential to virtually eliminate the relentless daily management burden for those living with T1D.
JDRF believes that the development of their Encapsulation Consortium will re-energize the field, spur innovation and continue advancements toward clinical testing.
"We like to say our foundation 'deals in hope,'" said Bob Parsons, who, together with his wife Renee, founded The Bob and Renee Parsons Foundation. "We help organizations that can truly make a difference and JDRF's cutting-edge research is going to have a significant impact with the work going on right now to cure Type 1 Diabetes. By matching contributions, we hope others will be inspired to step up and give just a little bit more."
"We are so grateful for the generous support of The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation" said Cindy Adams, Executive Director. She adds, "This gift provides a significant leap forward in fulfilling our goal of raising $1 million in ONE night for research that will lead us to a cure for type 1 diabetes."

A 22-year-old Jacksonville man was sentenced Wednesday to six years in federal prison for receiving videos depicting child pornography over the Internet, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
In sentencing Joaquin Manuel, U.S. District Judge Harvey E. Schlesinger also ordered to serve a 15-year term of supervised release following his release from prison, and to register as sex offender.
According to court documents, a special agent with Homeland Security, determined that a computer using a particular Internet Protocol address was hosting child pornography on the Internet. The agent was able to download several videos depicting child pornography from the host computer, which turned out to be at Marrero's Jacksonville home.
During a search in March, federal agents seized a laptop and a desktop computer and a USB thumb drive. Prosecutors say a forensic analysis revealed that they contained a total of 246 videos depicting children being sexually abused.
According to court records, Marrero admitted that he downloaded these videos from the Internet.
"Receiving child pornography is not a victimless crime," said Sue McCormick, special agent in charge of Homeland Security in Tampa. "Child predators take note. You cannot hide. We will find you and ensure that you are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
