Five Added to K-State Football Staff
Five Added to K-State Football Staff
MANHATTAN, Kan. Kansas State head football coach Bill Snyder has announced the hirings of Dana Dimel, Del Miller and Ricky Rahne to the Wildcat coaching staff, while also announcing that former Wildcat greats Jonathan Beasley and Joe Gordon will serve on the football staff.
Dimel, a 1986 Kansas State graduate, will coach the Wildcat running backs and serve as the run game coordinator, while Miller, a 30-year coaching veteran, will tutor the Wildcat quarterbacks and wide receivers while serving as the passing game coordinator. Rahne, who has served on the K-State staff in each of the last three seasons, will coach the Wildcat tight ends.
Beasley, a two-time captain at quarterback and letterman from 1996-97 and 1999-2000, will serve as the offensive graduate assistant coach, while Gordon, a defensive back from 1993-96, will serve as the program's recruiting operations assistant.
The group joins an extremely experienced staff at Kansas State, with Dimel and Miller becoming the second and third assistant coaches on the 2009 staff to possess head coaching experience.
The hire marks Dimel's third tour of duty with the Wildcats as he heads back to Manhattan after serving three seasons on Mike Stoops' staff at Arizona. Dimel joined Stoops' staff in early 2006 to coach tight ends and then took on bigger responsibilities calling plays as the running game coordinator and H-backs coach. A year ago he worked primarily with tight ends and this past spring he became running backs coach as well as the associate head coach.
Arizona finished 8-5 last season, which included its first bowl win in 10 years after a 31-21 triumph over No. 17 BYU in the Las Vegas Bowl. The Wildcats' top scoring threat in 2008 was Rob Gronkowski, a tight end tutored by Dimel. Gronkowski, despite missing the first three games of the season due to illness, was a unanimous First Team All-PAC-10 selection at tight end after collecting 47 receptions for 672 yards and 10 touchdowns this past season.
A K-State alumnus who lettered for the Wildcats in 1985 and 1986 as an offensive lineman, Dimel spent 10 years on the K-State staff from 1987 to 1996.
Kansas State's offensive line coach for much of his tenure, Dimel also served as offensive coordinator during the 1995 and 1996 campaigns. In 1995, his first at the controls of the Wildcat offense, Kansas State set school records for both touchdowns and total points as well as total offense.
During Dimel's coaching tenure at K-State, he mentored 11 offensive linemen who went on to sign NFL contracts. He was also instrumental in developing All-Americans Barrett Brooks, Jim Hmielewski and Quentin Neujahr along with all-conference selections Jason Johnson, Todd Weiner and Ryan Young.
In 1997, Dimel became the youngest head coach in NCAA Division I when he was named head coach at the University of Wyoming at the age of 35.
Dimel spent three years at Wyoming, guiding the Cowboys to an impressive 23-12 overall record, and left Laramie as one of only 10 head coaches at the time to win no fewer than seven games in every year as a head coach.
Considered one of the nation's most successful young head coaches at the time, Dimel led the Cowboys to eight-win seasons in both 1998 and 1999 before being named head coach at the University of Houston, where he guided the Cougars' football program from 2000-2002.
A native of Columbus, Ohio, Dimel and his wife, Julie, have a son, Winston, and a daughter, Josie.
Miller, who has worked with some of the most prolific offenses in K-State history, will be making his fourth stop in Manhattan after serving the 2006-08 seasons as the offensive coordinator at San Diego State and will enter his 13th season overall at Kansas State in 2009.
Last season, the Aztecs were led by two redshirt freshmen in quarterback Ryan Lindley and wide receiver Vincent Brown. Lindley threw for 2,653 yards and ranked 40th nationally in total offense, while Brown, an All-Mountain West selection by Phil Steele, ranked 44th nationally with 5.33 receptions per game and hauled in 64 catches for 631 yards and five touchdowns in 2008.
In 2007, the Aztecs ranked 28th nationally in passing offense, throwing for over 3,000 yards, while SDSU also led the Mountain West Conference in red zone offense, scoring nearly 90-percent of the time. Quarterback Kevin O'Connell became the first Aztec to lead the team in both rushing (408 yards) and passing (3,063 yards), ranking in the top 30 nationally in passing average and total offense. He was one of three Aztec offensive players selected in the 2008 NFL Draft as he was taken in the third round by New England.
One of the first hires made by Snyder when he first came to K-State in 1989, Miller returned to Manhattan in 2001 as offensive coordinator for his third stint on the staff after serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Oklahoma State for the 2000 season.
Miller has played a major role in the building of two major college programs, first at Iowa under the legendary Hayden Fry from 1978-88 before becoming a member of Snyder's original Kansas State coaching staff. He has coached in 14 bowl games in his 30 years as a Division I assistant, including six at Kansas State. He has been a part of 12 seasons of eight or more wins at Iowa and K-State, including five seasons of 10 or more victories.
Miller returned to Kansas State in 1999 to serve as a graduate assistant, helping the Wildcats to a third consecutive 11-win season and a Big 12 North Division co-Championship. After a year at Oklahoma State, he returned to Manhattan in 2001 to serve as the assistant director of football operations before being elevated to defensive ends coach in 2002. In his lone season as a defensive assistant, Miller helped Andrew Shull break onto the single-season top 10 list for sacks and Melvin Williams become a fifth-round selection of New Orleans in the 2003 NFL Draft.
Miller began his second stint as the school's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2003. He helped the Wildcats rank ninth nationally in both scoring and rushing offense and 17th in total offense en route to capturing their first conference championship in nearly 70 years. The offense was one of just seven in the country to average over 200 yards per game in both rushing and passing. Miller was instrumental in developing quarterback Ell Roberson, who is the school's all-time leader in total offense and passing touchdowns.
With the opportunity to run his own program, Miller left Kansas State in 1995 to take over as head coach at Southwest Missouri State. He guided the Bears to a 21-23 record in four seasons, including their first winning mark in three years in 1996 at 7-4.
Miller followed Snyder to Kansas State in 1989, serving as the program's offensive coordinator as well as quarterbacks and wide receivers coach. After two seasons, he was elevated to assistant head coach/recruiting coordinator for the 1991 season. Later that year, Miller helped the Wildcats post their first winning season in nine years at 7-4. K-State would go on to break the school record for wins in 1993 and 1994 with nine plus advance to back-to-back bowl games for the first time in school history. Miller coached six all-conference players from 1989 to 1994, including two-time all-league selections Chad May and Michael Smith.
Miller began his coaching career at the high school level in 1972 when he became head coach at Plainfield High School in Plainfield, Iowa. In 1975, he left to become the defensive coordinator at Eagle Grove High School in Eagle Grove, Iowa. He then served as head coach at Eagle Grove from 1977-78.
A native of Marengo, Iowa, Miller played and graduated from Central College in Pella, Iowa. He earned his bachelor's degree in physical education in 1972 and received his master's degree in physical education in 1976.
Miller is married to the former Jan Schafbuch. The couple has three sons, Todd, Tad and Troy (deceased).
Rahne joined the Kansas State football program's full-time staff on January 29, 2007, and is in his third season overall with the Wildcats, including spending the last two as running backs coach.
In his first season directing the Wildcat running backs, Rahne helped tutor All-Big 12 selection and current Cincinnati Bengal James Johnson, who became the fastest Wildcat to rush for 1,000 yards in a season in 2007. The Wildcat rushing attack averaged 4.5 yards a carry in 2007, including a 6.4-yard average by Johnson.
Rahne served as the program's offensive graduate assistant during the 2006 season and worked closely with all aspects of the Kansas State offense, and specifically the development of record-setting quarterback Josh Freeman, prior to his promotion.
Before joining Prince's staff at K-State, Rahne spent the 2005 season as the running backs coach at Cornell, where he mentored first team All-Ivy League selection Luke Siwula. During 2005, Siwula had six 100-yard rushing games. He ended the year with 1,086 yards on the ground for the 10th-best single-season rushing total in Cornell history.
During the 2004 campaign, Rahne was a member of the coaching staff at Holy Cross, where he served as an assistant defensive line coach. In his only season with the Crusaders, Rahne worked extensively with the program's defensive ends. He was also responsible for all video breakdowns of opponents' defense and special teams and assisted the defensive coordinator in developing game plans while coordinating scout teams.
A native of Morrison, Colo., and a 2002 Cornell graduate with a bachelor's degree in industrial and labor relations, Rahne served as an intern in the National Football League office during the summer before his senior year. Prior to his stint at Holy Cross, Rahne worked at the Cintas Corporation as a part of the company's management trainee program.
On the field, Rahne finished his career as Cornell's all-time leader in nearly every passing category and earned the team's MVP honors three times.
A three-year starter, he remains the program's career leader in completions (678), yards (7,710), touchdown passes (54) and 200-yard passing games (25). He took over the top spot for total offense with 7,994 yards (7,710 passing, 284 rushing) during his senior season and finished his career ranked No. 3 in the Ivy League in career passing yards with 7,710 yards.
Rahne is married to the former Jennifer Neuberger and the couple makes their home in Manhattan.
Prior to returning to Kansas State, Beasley served as the wide receivers coach at Montana State in 2007 and 2008. The Bobcats went 7-5 this past season and 6-5 in Beasley's first season on staff. As part of the Bobcat coaching staff, Beasley also assisted with the weekly implementation of the offensive game plan and served as the MSU Community Service Coordinator
Before arriving at Montana State, Beasley served as a graduate assistant at Emporia State as well as quarterbacks and running backs coach at Wichita North High (2006) and JV and freshman quarterbacks coach at Cactus High in Glendale, Ariz. (2003). Beasley played professionally for the Wichita Aviators in the APFL (2005), the Wichita Stealth in Arena II (2004), the NFL Jacksonville Jaguars (2003), the NFL Detroit Lions (2003), and NFL Green Bay Packers (2001). He also played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League (2001-02).
A native of Glendale, Ariz., Beasley was a Third Team All-Big 12 selection at quarterback for K-State in 2000, and earned MVP honors in the 2001 Cotton Bowl and 1999 Holiday Bowl. He also earned MVP and team captain honors for the 2001 Hula Bowl, and was team captain for the 2001 East-West Shrine Game.
Beasley was a two-year starter at Kansas State, compiling a 132.7 pass efficiency rating in 2000, the top mark in school history to that point. He threw for over 30 touchdowns in his career and finished with 4,642 career passing yards. He holds the school record for most yards per completion for a game (23.9), season (20.1) and career (17.9) while also compiling a 21-4 record in two seasons as the Wildcat starting quarterback. He led K-State to a Big 12 Championship Game appearance against Oklahoma as a senior, and led the Wildcats to a win over Nebraska that same season by throwing a game-winning 12-yard scoring strike in the game's final three minutes.
An All-American cornerback in 1995 as a junior, Gordon comes to Kansas State from the private sector, where he has worked in various capacities over the past 11 years, most recently as a partner at MWA Employee Benefits, LLC, and the owner of Joe Gordon Sports Training. In his new role, Gordon will assist with day to day operations of the football program as well as organize and oversee K-State's recruiting efforts.
After receiving his bachelor's degree in criminology from K-State in 1996, Gordon spent the 1997 season with the St. Louis Rams before heading to NFL Europe in 1998 where he played for the Rhein Fire.
While at Kansas State, Gordon was a two-time All-Big Eight selection after stellar seasons as a sophomore and junior. Gordon, a native of Arlington, Texas, and a preseason All-American, played in just four games as a senior in 1996 as he suffered an injury to his leg.
During his sophomore season in 1994, Gordon became the first sophomore cornerback since 1984 to earn first team all-conference honors after he totaled 50 tackles and 11 pass breakups. He followed that with a 48-tackle junior season with 13 pass breakups en route to All-America honors. As a junior, Gordon allowed just 12 completions after lining up in man coverage a total of 332 times and helped the Wildcat pass defense rank third nationally with a 136.8 yard-per-game average through the air.

Burt's Bees Thoroughly Therapeutic Honey & Orange Wax Body Lotion Reviews
I tried itI tried this lotion while waiting for a prescription to be filled at a drugstore and it made the wait more tolerable. The scent is very uplifting and is calming to the senses. I love that it's all natural too. — 6 years, 8 months agoTBjunkie | 692 reviews
Yummy!The lotion is very light, but leaves skin soft. It has more than honey & orange wax, also contains sunflower oil, coconut oil, aloe extract etc. The best part of the product is the honey/orange scent, unfortunately, the scent does not last too long. If you like natural products, this one is a great pick for you. — 9 years, 1 month agoluckybetty | 895 reviews
Incredible smellThis lotion smells absolutely delicious and it sinks right into your skin. I just wish you got more product for the price. — 6 years, 9 months agoazdrienne | 120 reviews
Good lotionI tried this lotion at the drug store and liked the way is smelled and it made my skin soft but it was too expensive for such a small bottle. — 6 years, 9 months agosteadyeddie925 | 351 reviews
Burt's BeesI did not like this lotion. I did not like the scent or the texture. I thought it was very watery. I usually love Burt's Bees products, but this one was a miss. I tossed it. — 5 years, 1 month agotonyadiamond | 53 reviews
BURTS BEESI absolutly LOVE this lotion! It works sooo well and you need to apply only once for it to work all day. — 6 years, 10 months agoKOALBY | 16 reviews
Great for winter dry skin...!I love this product to moisturize my skin when it's dry and irritated from heated indoor air and cold, windy outdoor air. Makes my skin feel less dry, tight, and itchy right after application and lasts for hours. Feels good applied right after a bath or shower and smells great! I would recommend this product to anyone with dry, itchy winter skin! — 6 years, 10 months agomcclain60 | 1 reviews
Smells really good and does the job!I have the 8 fl oz bottle of this and it smells great and really does give you the skin protection you need. I usually don't have to reapply until hours later, so it lasts too. Everytime my boss walks by, she's like "I keep smelling apple pie..." FUNNY! — 6 years, 10 months agofaith_james | 1 reviews
Smells strongThis is a very thick lotion that is great to moisturize dry skin. It contains honey, rosemary and orange wax to benefit your skin. I like everything about it except that this lotion smells very strong. It's definitely called therapeutic for a reason- it cleared my sinuses when I had a cold. You have to get used to the smell and actually like it, because it stays on for a while. This product is 99% natural which is another reason why I like this. — 7 years, 7 months agoBeautyAndAllThat | 62 reviews
Very emollient and thick.This lotion is so thick it is difficult to get it out of the bottle. That is really my only complaint about it because it is so thick, it is very effective. Living in the Denver area with extremes of heat and cold and the lack of humidity makes it difficult to keep skin hydrated. This is a great lotion that lasts for a long time. — 7 years, 10 months agoKathleenO | 164 reviews

Kris Jenner Speaks Out on Daughter Kim Kardashian's Split (VIDEO)
"I knew a few days before, of course, because Kim and I are really close," Kris told TODAY anchor Ann Curry of hearing of the breakup. "It's just our job now to wrap our arms around her through thick and thin."
Kris also addressed the negative tabloid reports about Kim, saying:
"[The marriage] certainly wasn't a sham, certainly wasn't for TV. We have enough going on on our show that we don't have to make things up. She felt that she was in love with him. It was an amazing time … I had no idea there was a problem at the time. It saddens all of us."
Kim is currently in Sydney, Australia with her sister Khloe Kardashian promoting their Kardashian Kollection. Kris said of her 31-year-old daughter's disposition, "She feels that she's let a lot of people down. She's sick about it."

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Earlier today, the monthly Automatic Data Processing jobs report was released, showing private-sector payrolls increased by 175,000 in January, falling short of estimates.
Now we have to wait until Friday to see how the ADP number will match up with Bureau of Labor Statistics' nonfarm payrolls number and to see how the market will react.
Watching the release of the jobs report for December and seeing the market move higher made me realize that it seemed as if the market always went higher with the announcement of the official numbers regardless of what those numbers were.
In the last 18 months, there has been a statistically significant likelihood that during the week preceding the report and the day preceding the report that the market would move higher. The following week the market performed no differently whether preceded by the jobs report or not.
As with all statistics, it helps to look beyond the numbers to try to understand possible factors that may have played a role.
One factor may be that the past 18 months contained the beginning of the third and final phase of quantitative easing, the Federal Reserve's bond-purchasing program.
I wasn't excited about being further long in a market in anticipation of a run-up fueled by the jobs report, considering the connection between the Fed's policy announcements and the market's fortunes. Certainly, the past month causes one to rethink a bullish thesis.

Mavic Cosmic Pro Carbon SL Clincher Wheelset
The Mavic Cosmic Pro Carbon SL Clincher Wheelset isn't just one of the most versatile, stiffest and lightweight wheels that Mavic produce, they also provide incredible levels of control and remain stiff through any sudden, explosive burst of power. This is thanks to heavily researched and tested technology, such as their GripLink and Isopulse features.
Made from 3K carbon fibre, this wheelset weighs in at an impressive 1450 grams, but doesn't skip out on any stiffness. This is down to a number of features, from Mavic's IsoPulse technology that provides optimum energy transfer through radially laced spokes on the drive side and crossed 2 on the non-drive side to the maximise side dish for aerodyanmic performance, to a 25mm external width (17mm internal) to enhance the tyre integration and improve handling.
Mavic has included their iTgMAX technology with this wheelset. This technology integrated a carbon fibre inner rim bed alongside a unique one-piece rim contour to enhance braking performance.
A 40mm rim profile has been adopted alongside a 25mm external width (17mm internal) that not just reduces drag, but integrates the tyre perfectly and gives superior handling in all conditions. Rolling resistance is also reduced through Mavic's GripLink and PowerLink tyres. These offer an improved ride thanks to their light and supple high-density casing. Grip is optimised with Mavic's a unique tread pattern.
Split-second engagement can be the difference between first and second place, so Mavic's Instant Drive 360 freewheel system has been incorporated to engage at an angle of only 9 degrees. A large contactless rubber seal provides low enough friction for this to happen, whilst high-level end caps makes this super versatile.
The tyres are Mavic's Yksion Pro GripLink (front) and PowerLink (rear) with a single compound and 127 TPI casing, making for a smooth, reliable and durable ride.
This wheelset is compatible with Shimano/SRAM or Campagnolo and is convertible to XD-R with an optional driver body.

Horse Veterinary
Horse Veterinary Questions? Ask an Equine Vet.
The first thing I would do is take the horses temperature to determine if he/she has a fever. If indeed your horse has a fever I would administer an anti-pyretic like phenylbutazone and some broad spectrum antibiotics. If your horse has no fever and is eating I would wait a day or two to see if the discharge resolves. If it does not I would contact your veterinarian to evaluate and scope your horse.
all the best

"We rate WYNN RESORTS LTD (WYNN) a BUY. This is driven by multiple strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income and good cash flow from operations. Although the company may harbor some minor weaknesses, we feel they are unlikely to have a significant impact on results."

Ross Detwiler and the All-Fastball All-Stars
On Tuesday night, the Nationals and Brewers played baseball for well over five hours, calling it quits only after Ryan Zimmerman hit a two-run homer in the 16th inning to put Milwaukee away. Zimmerman, who had two other hits and this diving catch, claimed the headlines, but the game had another hero, albeit one slightly less sung: deposed starter Ross Detwiler, who held the Brewers scoreless from the 10th through the 14th.
Prior to Tuesday's outing, Detwiler hadn't pitched what one would call "well." Even after adding four scoreless frames to his seasonal line, his ERA stands at 4.36, a lousy figure in a league where relievers average 3.41, and his 5.21 FIP hints at some scary peripherals: a 13.3 percent strikeout rate, and an 11.3 percent walk rate. Among relievers with at least 30 innings pitched, only Anthony Swarzak (who receives an electric shock whenever he records a third strike, in accordance with Twins team policy) and command/control/groundball god Dan Otero have struck out batters at a lower rate. As a result, Detwiler had mostly been buried in low-leverage spots before his extra-inning effort.
In his game-extending appearance, the lefty struck out two and walked one (intentionally), which was pretty darn Detwiler, though he did get six grounders without allowing a ball in the air and threw 32 strikes in 42 pitches (apart from the free pass). What really stood out about the outing, aside from the zeroes, was Detwiler's pitch selection, which varied less than the song selection at a Kanye West/Jay Z "Watch the Thrones" show.
"I don't remember an off-speed pitch," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "His fastballs, some were cutting, some were sinking. You didn't know which way it was going."
Roenicke was right: Detwiler threw exclusively four-seamers and sinkers. His willingness to eschew off-speed stuff earned him a notice at Deadspin, which dubbed him an "undeniable badass" and asserted that he'd "staked a strong claim to the title of He Who Gives Less [sic] Shits Than Anyone."
This isn't the first time Detwiler has done this, though. He strung together exactly 42 consecutive fastballs (either four-seamers or sinkers) last April 28, in a start against the Reds. The start before that, he'd posted a 40-fastball streak versus St. Louis. In fact, his reliance on four-seamers and sinkers, which he threw 88 percent of the time in 2013, had something to do with Washington's decision to stick him in the bullpen (where manager Matt Williams said he expected him to be "something special").
So is Detwiler the king of consecutive fastballs? Not nearly. From 2008–14, there have been 36 outings that featured fastball streaks longer than Detwiler's personal record of 42. Here are the 17 that went 50 or more:
Sam Miller wrote about Bartolo Colon's fastball fetish a few years ago, so it's no surprise to see him topping the list; he easily eclipsed his previous high by throwing 67 straight four-seamers or sinkers in an April start against Atlanta. Daniel Cabrera's 56-pitch streak in 2008 ties for seventh, but according to Harry Pavlidis' Pitch Info classifications, all 56 were four-seamers. (In related news, Cabrera no longer plays baseball.) Only Cabrera, Garrett Olson, John Maine, and Tony Cingrani have topped 40 straight four-seamers. Derek Lowe leads the list of sinker-only streaks with 39; Aaron Cook, Kyle Kendrick, David Price, Travis Schlichting, Sean Green, Brandon Webb, Mike MacDougal, and Andrew Cashner have also reached 30.
Speaking of Aaron Cook: Cook was the king of throwing nothing but four-seamers, sinkers, and cutters, which accounted for 98.5 percent of his offerings in 2008. In his 2011 article on Colon, Sam said he was "dying for an all-fastball game," but if we count cutters, it's already happened. In a May 25, 2008 start against the Mets, Cook threw 114 straight pitches without mixing in a curve or a changeup, although his cutter was eight miles per hour slower than his four-seamer, on average. He topped 100 on four other occasions. Cliff Lee, Lance Lynn, and Kevin Slowey have had four-seamer/sinker-cutter streaks of between 80 and 90 pitches.
In conclusion: Detwiler might be a badass, but not in the way that he was when he had this mustache. And regardless of how his facial hair looks, he's nowhere close to Colon.

STEM Fems group branches out to Evans City Middle School
About 45 girls gathered in the Evans City Middle School cafeteria after school to make scented stones used for aromatherapy using everyday cooking ingredients — flour, salt, food coloring and essential oils.
Working in groups of four to six, the aspiring scientists, mathematicians and engineers in grades five and six discussed how to multiply a single recipe to fit the number of girls in their groups and began adding ingredients into mixing bowls.
"It's been really interesting seeing how all the ingredients mix together and how ordinary kitchen ingredients can be combined to make new things," said fifth-grader Ashley Pelloni.
The girls are part of STEM Fems, a group that began last year in Seneca Valley Middle School to encourage young ladies who are interested in science, technology, engineering and math — or STEM.
The group branched out this year to include a chapter at Evans City Middle School, said Evans City Principal Marie Palano.
"I wanted to meet new people. I really like science and doing experiments, and being able to make things out of different components," said sixth-grader Elaina Mastorianni.
Alyssa Webb, a fifth-grader, said she'd really like to see more women in typically male-dominated science, engineering and math fields.
"I think women can do whatever men can," Alyssa said. "Just because men are generally engineers doesn't mean women can't be, too."
Women are underrepresented in STEM careers. Groups like STEM Fems help break down barriers for girls to get interested in the fields, said Colleen Smith, outreach coordinator at the Penn State Electro-Optics Center, a university research facility in Freeport.
As a leader of regional support group Female Alliance STEM Excellence, Smith has helped STEM Fems get off the ground by connecting the group to community resources and training.
Led by middle school teachers Crystal Zinkham, Sarah Kamarchik, Lisa McCombs, Stephanie Chiapusio and Palano, STEM Fems began meeting once a month in January doing activities regarding the chemistry of cosmetics. In April, a female engineer from Mine Safety Appliances and a professor from the University of Pittsburgh plan to visit and talk to the girls about their jobs.
Palano said it's important to get girls involved at a young age so they know what opportunities and options exist in STEM fields.
It's also important for the girls to interact with women in STEM careers to give them role models and see them as relatable.
"Girls need to connect with women to see that not only are women doing these things, but that they're like them, too," Smith said.

Idk why someone wouldn't like to live in Paris or Rome because of location. It's about money, stability and image of the league (which leads to shoe deals etc).
Sure, there's the thing of acclimatization in a foreign country. But everyone gets over it, so I'm not sure why US players wouldn't. Euro soccer leagues seem to attract US players just fine.

Sportsbash Friday: Mike Quick Thinks Eagles Need a More Phycial Wide Recevier

Mike and Todd are always in a heated debate about something so here's you chance to listen to their arguments and side with Mike Gill or Todd Ranck
Segments, Interviews, Debate, Top Tweets, Sportsbash Stock Exchange and 5 Questions are all logged and uploaded daily!
Friday, November 16th 2012.
Mike Quick
Former Eagles WR and current radio analyst for the Eagles, Mike Quick, called in to give us his opinions on the Eagles going forward. Quick said he's been very disappointed in this team because of the tremendous amount of talent. There's a lot of talent on the team, but as a team it's just not working. As one of the greatest WR in history, Quick said he would like to see the ball in LeSean McCoy's hands, but in the end to score points you have to throw the ball. Hear Mike Quick call the Eagles/Redskins Sunday at 12 on 97.3 ESPN FM.
Injury Report
Our injury expert Joe DeRosa gives us the latest on Andrew Bynum and Mike Vick who are both out with injuries.
6-Pack of Picks
Todd Ranck (17-12-1): Rams – 3 1/2, Bengals -3 1/2, Saints -5
Mike Gill(17-11-2): Browns +7 , Chiefs +3 1/2 , Packers -3
Josh Hamilton
Mike and Todd got in to a little Josh Hamilton talk here and his chances of signing with the Phillies. Todd has no issue with his drug history and absolutely loves his style of game. Mike Gill would take him on his team, but for the right amount of years and certainly not a 5-year deal as Hamilton will be 32 years old.
Pete's Picks
Pete's Picks returns for another season on The Sportsbash. This year Mike and Todd go head-to-head in a match up of Sunday NFL games.
1. Bucs -2 @ Panthers
2. Cardinals +10 @ Falcons
3. Colts +9 @ Patriots
4. Chargers +8 @ Broncos
5. Eagles +4 @ Redskins
Todd Ranck (24-20-1): Bucs, Cardinals, Colts, Chargers, Eagles
Mike Gill (22-22-1): Bucs, Falcons, Patriots, Broncos, Eagles
Dave Weinberg
Dave Weinberg covers the Eagles for The Press of Atlantic City and came on to give his side of the story on Eagles/Redskins. Weinberg believes Andy Reid has a chance to save his job if he does indeed win. Weinberg likes the Redskins to win 24-20. Read more from Dave Weinberg.
Brian Mitchell
Former Eagles and Redskins RB Brian Mitchell called in for "The Outside View" and he helped preview this Sunday's game. Mitchell says the fans id DC are excited for the team with the new QB, but the end result has to change and it hasn't as the team is 3-6. On the Eagles, Mitchell sees the injuries as a factor, but the players arent stepping up and that never happened in his career. In Mitchell's career, teammates would step up when a player would go down with injury. Follow Brian Mitchell on Twitter.

Respectable bourgeois widower Mathieu Faber falls for his new housemaid, Conchita and pursues her through a series of desperate entreaties and chance encounters in the hope that she will eventually surrender to his advances.
Luis Buñuel had a habit of announcing his retirement. But the onset of deafness and diabetes meant that many took the septuagenarian at his word after he completed the satirical triptych of The Milky Way, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and The Phantom of Liberty. However, he was soon considering an adaptation of Huysman's Là-Bas, with Gérard Depardieu in a dual role. Yet, ironically, when he did finally embark on a new project (which he had a premonition that he wouldn't finish) it involved two performers playing the same character.
This stunt casting had not been his original intention, however. Buñuel had hoped that Isabelle Adjani would play Conchita, but she was unavailable, and he had started the shoot with Maria Schneider as the `sensual, virginal, demonic little girl'. However, her drug problem and his disappointment with her lacklustre performance resulted in her early dismissal and the hiring of the other two actress that Buñuel had tested, Carole Bouquet and Angela Molina.
It was the perfect swansong motif for cinema's most enduring Surrealist - especially as the pair alternated at random rather than representing the different aspects of Conchita's devious nature - as it not only enabled him to challenge the reality of the screen image, but also to invest the action with a conceptual reality that was unique to cinema.
They were certainly following in august footsteps, as Geraldine Farrar, Conchita Montenegro, Marlene Dietrich and Brigitte Bardot had also headlined adaptations of Pierre Louÿs's short 1898 novel, La Femme et le Pantin.
But while Buñuel insisted that he had been wholly faithful to the text, he had actually chosen to reinterpret certain key elements. Thus, the two suitors were merged as Mathieu, while the Seville setting was abandoned in favour of a transcontinental odyssey that seemed to linked the whole of Europe with concepts that had fascinated Buñuel throughout his entire career - repression and the liberating power of desire; the mockery of taboos; the detestation of tyranny; the interchangeability of reality and dreams; the cruelty of fate; and the barbarism of love. Genius.
Very apt and superbly realised swansong from the great surrealist.

The NSW government should allow a privately-funded cloud seeding trial in the Snowy Mountains region to help stave off the impact of drought, Australia's largest hydro-electric company said today.
Cloud seeding would create extra snowfall in the Snowy Mountains and would increase river flow by ten per cent to the Murray River system in southern NSW, Snowy Hydro Limited said.
The company would fund the six-month trial, but needed NSW government approval to carry out its program within National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) administered areas.
Snowy Hydro chief executive Terry Charlton said the trial was designed to create snowfall, but the technology could possibly provide for rain in the correct topography.
Cloud seeding involves dispersing small amounts of silver iodide into specially-targeted clouds passing over the Snowy Mountains to increase snowfall.
Although cloud seeding has been used in Tasmania and other parts of the world in the past, it still remained a largely experimental practice.
"We don't want rain, we want snow because we want to avoid any erosion problems," Mr Charlton said.
"We only want to do it (cloud seeding) during winter because the idea is that if you create the snow then you can store it and wait for a spring run-off and then deliver it to the Murray and Murrumbidgee (rivers) when they need it."
The trial had the potential to generate 10 per cent increased river flow into the Snowy's river system, the company boasted.
"It's not solving the problems, (but) it's an incremental improvement in terms of a continuing deterioration," Mr Charlton said.
Increased snowfall would also mean the Snowy region could refill its depleting water stores.
In order to carry out the trial, the company needed approval from the NPWS, which Mr Charlton said was currently opposed to the idea.
A spokesman for NSW Environment Minister Bob Debus said the cloud seeding proposal appeared to have merit.
But any possible environmental ramifications would have to be understood before the trial could move forward, he said.
"We've asked the Department of Conservation and Environment to assess the proposal and work with Snowy Hydro to resolve any concerns," he said.

The 'R.I.P.' singer was dehydrated and exhausted while taking photos for Madonna's fashion label.
Singer Rita Ora is fine despite collapsing on the set of a photo shoot on Monday, November 18. The 22-year-old was treated for heat exhaustion and dehydration, and has been discharged from the hospital.
Ora was shooting for Madonna's Material Girl clothing line campaign in Miami in the middle of the day. As she prepared for the photo taking on the beach near SoHo Beach House hotel, she fainted in her makeup trailer. An ambulance was called and she was rushed to nearby hospital. Upon arrival she was unloaded on a stretcher and was immediately attended by emergency personnel.
"Rita Ora was treated for heat exhaustion and dehydration at our hospital today," Dr. David Farcy, Chairman of the Emergency Department at Mount Sinai Hospital Miami, told Us Weekly in a statement. "She was discharged and is fine."
Ora, who popularized the hit "R.I.P.", is in the middle of a burgeoning career in the fashion industry. Beside representing Madonna's label, she had modeled for DKNY and has signed a contract with Adidas to design her own collection.

Polish mobile sale in crisis
Eastern Europe's first 3G mobile licence sale has suffered a major setback with only the three existing operators submitting bids for five licences.
The result will be seen as an embarrassment for the Polish government, which had hoped to raise 3.25bn euros from the sale.
It is now likely to net just 1.95bn euros after foreign bidders failed to materialise by Saturday's bid deadline.
The three local bidders - whose shareholders include Deutsche Telekom, France Telecom, Vivendi and Vodafone - had threatened to boycott the sale altogether amid criticisms of the government's handling of it.
'Too early for 3G'
The three companies submitted their bids by the deadline - before renewing calls for the tender to be cancelled.
"The ministry should think about the possibility of cancelling this tender because of the changes made at the last minute as the risk exists that other candidates may file complaints in court and this would put the offers in jeopardy," Polkomtel spokesman Leszek Kaminski told journalists.
The operators have complained that the high licence fee would make Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) services, which allow fast internet connections for mobile telephones, too expensive for Poland's developing market.
The average monthly wage is under $500 and just 14% of the 39 million population have mobile telephones.
The three bidders have also objected to a condition in the 3G tender requiring them to open their networks to future licence holders after they have installed infrastructure covering 30% of the country.
"The requirement to provide roaming after the new incomers cover 30% of Poland is unacceptable and we would object," said Wladyslaw Bartoszewicz, head of Polkomtel - the Vodafone-backed operator.
Government 'satisfied'
The licences were to have been awarded through a "beauty contest" based on the operators' business plans at a fixed price of 650 million euros ($569m) per licence, instead of an auction.
Poland's telecommunications minister Tomasz Szyszko said just two weeks ago he expected seven or eight bids for the licences.
However, the Polish authorities claimed on Saturday that the number of bids was satisfactory.
"We are satisfied," said Miroslaw Marcinkiewicz, a top telecommunications ministry official told journalists.
"We are not astonished by the number of bids. This is due to the weak situation of the European telecommunications market."
But the problem was not only with Europe, but with the ministry overestimating Poland's market, according to telecoms analysts.
"There is not enough capital in Poland to join such a costly long-term investment," one analyst said.
"Foreign bidders were indeed interested in trying to forge partnerships with Polish companies to bid, but these companies are too poor."
Spain's Telefonica had tried to find Polish partners, as demanded by the tender requirements, to submit a bid, but according to the Gazeta Wyborcza daily the local companies could not obtain the necessary bank guarantees.
Italian operator TU Mobile had been expected to submit a bid with the Polish internet company 7bulls.com, but according to media reports apparently had trouble securing sufficient financial backing.
It will take about $2.2bn to launch a UMTS network including the cost of the licence, according to analysts.
The telecommunications ministry is expected to determine within days whether the bids met the tender conditions.
Only two valid bids are required for licences to be awarded.

Even if Ratatouille has a weird side – a rat cooking in the kitchen – I can't deny it's a typical heartwarming Pixar film. The setting of the movie makes it a natural fit for Disneyland Paris, and the theme park is opening "Le Monde de Rémy," The World of Rémy, this summer. The area will have the look of a reconstructed Parisian neighborhood, and among other features, it will feature a Ratatouille -themed restaurant. Chef Paul Bocuse is spearheading the project, presumably without rodent assistance, and it should open this summer.
The bistro will be part of a bigger Ratatouille attraction, and the ride will make a stop in the Chez Gusteau restaurant where actual ratatouille will be served. Mmm, now I'm hungry.

Santos sought to deflect investor concerns over its reserves of gas to support its projects by telling them to focus instead on the looming cascade of cash to flow to the company with the launch of new gas projects which open the door for it to hike dividends.
"There will be an increase in the dividend once the PNG LNG [export gas] enters production," the chief executive Mr David Knox told analysts earlier Friday, with the company to adopt a "progressive dividend policy" which will see it lift dividends to a sustainable level where they will be held into the future.
The first gas is scheduled to flow from the PNG gas project before the end of 2014.
Additionally, Santos is participating in a gas export project in Queensland with first shipments due in 2015.
"It rules nothing out - or in," Mr Knox said when asked about share buy-backs. "The board is committed to lifting and holding that dividend.
Before the start of trading this morning, Santos reported a steady net profit of $516 million for 2013, but with underlying profit falling 17 per cent to $504 million, which fell short of consensus forecasts of $560 million.
Yesterday, Origin Energy, which is participating in a separate gas export project in Queensland, said its project is 65 per cent complete, with first exports planned from mid-2015.
Santos told analysts this morning its project is 75 per cent complete, but refused to be more precise on the timing of its first shipments beyond saying they would be sometime next year.
"No, we're not narrowing down that window," Mr Knox said.
Some analysts expect the first gas could be shipped from its Queensland project as soon as the first quarter of 2015.
The company came in for sustained questioning over the cut to reserves and whether it will need to buy gas from other suppliers to meet its contractual commitments.
Mr Knox said Santos will source gas externally where it is more capital efficient to do so.
"We've always sought to optimise our capital efficiency," he said. "No one should be in any doubt we have enough gas to fill those trains," Mr Knox said, referring to its Queensland export gas processing facilities.

Brauoterta - Icelandic Style Sandwich Loaf: Shrimp
Recipe by Jostlori
Sandwich loaves, or 'bread cakes' as they are called in Iceland, are an enduring presence at Icelandic celebrations where cakes are served. While the fillings have changed over the years and they don't use half as much mayonnaise in them as once was the case, yet they continue to be a vehicle for cooks to display their talents with garnish, and are a savory palate cleanser in between nibbles of all the sweet cakes usually served at traditional birthday parties. See note at end of recipe regarding the bread that is used. Recipe is from icecook.blogspot.com. Posted for ZWT9.
Top Review by twissis
Made for ZWT-9 & a fellow Goddess - I had always wanted to make a Braudterta & then came face-to-face w/your recipe in the AP Cookbook. There are actually 2 types of bread used for Braudterta - Loaf-type slices that are filled & layered .. or .. Larger jelly-roll-type slices that are filled & rolled. The jelly-roll-type slice is used more often & all we could find. I made the filling a dy early using Icelandic baby shrimp, chilled it overnight & assembled the terta today about 2 hrs prior to serving at an afternoon coffee for 9 (This prevents the bread from becoming soggy as the terta sits). 1 of the pitfalls of a specialty recipe like this when made by a cook familiar w/the "tricks of the trade" is they are on "auto-pilot" & do what they know to be best. I admit to revising your recipe w/the use of cream cheese. For the filling, I used 1 cup mayo, 1/2 cup sour cream & 1/2 cup cream cheese (same total volume as recipe, but reduces the mayo & sour cream). For the "frosting", I used a combo of mayo & cream cheese w/only a sml amt of sour cream. When chilled, both chgs make the terta less fragile to decorate, slice & serve. Using the curved jelly-roll-type bread limits how you can garnish, so I kept it simple w/a layer of cucumber & egg slices on top & tomato slices served to-the-side. Lastly it was sprinkled w/dry parsley flakes plus Old Bay Seasoning as a matter of pers pref. Bottom Line: We loved it & our guests loved it too. Thx for inspiring me w/your recipe. :-)
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄4 cups mayonnaise (Icelandic or Kewpie, see note)
- 3⁄4 cup sour cream
- 4 eggs, hard-boiled, peeled and mashed
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄3 cup red bell pepper, finely minced
- 1⁄2 lb small shrimp, cooked and shelled
- pepper, to taste
- 3 slices white bread (see note)
- sour cream (to garnish)
- mayonnaise (to garnish)
- shrimp, for garnish
Directions See How It's Made
- Mix the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth and well-blended. Add the bell pepper, mashed eggs, and garlic powder. Mix well. Add the shrimp and stir to combine. Season to taste with black pepper.
- Place a layer of bread on the serving plate or tray and spread half the filling over it. Top with another slice of bread and spread the remaining filling. Top with the third slice of bread.
- Mix a small amount of mayonnaise and sour cream, then smooth a thin layer evenly over the loaf, both top and sides. Decorate to your liking with the garnish ingredients, which can include large shrimps, egg slices and vegetables, e.g. bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, chopped parsley.
- NOTE ON BREAD: The bread is basically a pan-baked loaf of white sandwich bread that has been sliced lengthwise. The crusts are removed, leaving between 4 and 6 long slices of bread. This is probably not available at the bakery, but you could buy or make a whole unsliced loaf and slice it yourself.
- NOTE ON MAYO: Icelandic mayo is not vinegary tart and also not as runny as American style mayo. Buy Icelandic, or a close approximation is Kewpie brand mayo, easily found in Oriental stores.

Time Discounting and Time Consistency
In the economic literature the most widely used type of additive time discounting is Exponential Discounting. Recent work however casts doubts on its ability in explaining how individuals effectively choose. In particular a more general form of discounting that gained importance, in both applied and theoretical work, is Hyperbolic Discounting which captures well phenomena such as procrastination and addiction. An important issue related to the additive form assumed for discounting is that time consistent preferences are the case only with Exponential Discounting. This paper shows that forms of Hyperbolic Discounting, in particular close to the so called Quasi-Hyperbolic model, could also be characterized in terms of dynamically consistent choices when individuals discount the welfare of future selves as well as their payoffs.

Internet Access on
Cruise Ships
Sometimes one of the
Cruise Internet Access
The internet is part of everyday life, from ages 8 to 108. It is a universal convenience, with many businesses (even some McDonald's) offering free wireless service.
Internet access may not be available on the ship you book or it may be slower than dialup. Also, access may be lost once the ship is underway. Furthermore—even if you access via your own laptop—the cost can be prohibitive, as much as 55 cents per minute.
If you want to send emails and photos back home—or it's critical you stay in touch with the office—investigate the following:
Is internet service standard or an optional extra? If an extra, how much? Are special bundles of internet minutes available?
Is wireless internet available throughout the ship? In every cabin? Or is access limited only to scattered hotspots? Or to a single computer room with a limited number of machines? Is wireless available there?
How to find out?
If the cruise line website is vague (and it may be purposely so) this is an area where a travel agent specializing in cruises can be invaluable. So are the the experiences of past passengers posted on Internet forum/message boards.
Don't willingly go into the Dark Ages.

The depleted Mets head into Fenway Park tonight and have an uphill road to climb. They're on a four-game losing streak and will battle a team who have owned them the few times they've played. The Mets are 8-10 against the Red Sox and 3-6 in the shadow of the Green Monster. On top of that, they are facing Daisuke Matsuzaka.
Only two members of the current team have faced him before. Jeremy Reed is 0-for-3 against him. Gary Sheffield has had great success against him, going 6-for-11 with a home run and two doubles. Sheffield was the last Mets player to hit a home run, and that was more than a week ago. Additionally, we all know how the Mets tend to do against pitchers they've never faced before. Hopefully, Matsuzaka will be rusty coming off some rehab assignments and the disabled list.
Sheffield had been ill during the Dodgers sweep but with his familiarity with Fenway, he should be getting some playing time at either left field or as a designated hitter. Jerry Manuel has said that Carlos Beltran and David Wright could also DH. It's a far cry from when Willy Randolph sent up Chris Woodward as the designated hitter.
It looks like Daniel Murphy will be the everyday first baseman until Carlos Delgado comes back. Although he's in an offensive slump, it's good to see Manuel finally come around and stick him in the infield. Murphy was on fire Wednesday against the Dodgers, making several excellent defensive plays. Let's hope they weren't a fluke.
The Mets are going to need every ounce of luck, solid defense, lights-out pitching and situational hitting that they can get. They're a surging team with David Ortiz back to a semblance of his former self and having won six of their last 10 games, including three in a row.
So, what are your predictions for the series?

La Nina Weak For Now But Likely To Strengthen: WMO
Date: 18-Nov-11
Country: SWITZERLAND
Author: Stephanie Nebehay
La Nina, a weather phenomenon usually linked to heavy rains and flooding in the Asia-Pacific and South America and drought in Africa, has re-emerged and is likely to persist into early 2012, the World Meterological Organization (WMO) said on Thursday.
However, it is "very unlikely" to reach conditions as strong as those of the 2010-2011 La Nina event that ended in May, the United Nations agency said.
"This La Nina is expected to persist through the end of this year and into early 2012, possibly strengthening to moderate intensity," the WMO said in a statement.
El Nino, its opposite weather phenomenon which warms the Pacific, has been ruled out as occurring before April 2012, according to the agency whose assessment is based on input from climate prediction centers and experts around the world.

Easy Baked Scallops
Get this recipe on the next page >>
As a scallop lover, I really enjoy this easy and minimalistic way of baking scallops – just olive oil, butter, garlic, salt and pepper. This was inspired by tigerfish's oven-baked Spanish-style shrimps which was a love-at-first-sight dish to me.

But I have been such a complete sloth in cooking recently that I did not even want to prepare prawns, so I adapted the recipe with scallops instead. The result was amazing.
