Nov. 6, 2005
MILWAUKEE, Wis. - In its final tuneup before embarking on defense of the NCAA title, the fifth-ranked Notre Dame women's soccer team made yet another strong statement en route to claiming the program's eighth BIG EAST Tournament title following a 5-0 win over conference rival Connecticut, in Sunday-afternoon action at Marquette's Valley Fields.
Notre Dame (19-2-0) extended its winning streak to 10 games, an impressive five-week display that has included a 46-1 scoring edge and just 14 total shots on goal by the opponents (1.4 per game). The Irish now await Monday's announcement of the 64-team NCAA Tournament field, top-16 seeds and first/second-round host sties, with the selection show to be telecast on ESPN News at approximately 5:00 p.m. EST.
Five different Irish players combined to score the five goals - highlighted by the 24th goal of the season from forward Kerri Hanks, who broke the Notre Dame record for goals by a freshman (23, by Anne Makinen in '97) while pushing her season point total to 62 (with 14 assists). Senior forward Katie Thorlakson added a pair of assists to land on 60 points for the season, making Hanks and Thorlakson the fourth set of teammates (first since another ND duo did it in '96) in the 24-year history of Division I women's soccer who are known to reached 60 points in the same season.
Thorlakson was named the offensive MVP for the 2005 BIG EAST Tournament, after totaling nine points (2G-5A) in wins over Georgetown (6-0), Marquette (3-0) and UConn (5-0). Junior defensive midfielder Jill Krivacek was named the tournament's defensive MVP, after helping the Irish total a 14-0 scoring margin, 59-18 shot edge (32-8 in shots on goal) and 17-3 corner-kick differential during the three games.
Jenny Heft (28, in '98) and Cindy Daws (26, in `96) are the only Notre Dame players ever to score more goals in a season than Hanks' current total.
Notre will enter the NCAAs with three more goals (95) than the opponents' combined shot total (92; 42 on goal) versus the Irish this season.
The game marked the eighth time this season that Notre Dame has scored five-plus goals, with the Irish ranking as the nation's top-scoring team throughout 2005 (now at 4.51 goals/gm, with 95 in 21 GP). The Irish also have scored three-plus goals in eight straight games, tying a record set by four previous ND teams (last in '98).
Sophomore forward Amanda Cinalli opened the scoring in the 24th minute, on a goal that ultimately held up as her second career gamewinner versus the Huskies. Freshman midfielder Brittany Bock then scored two minutes later, lunging in for a leftfooted score after Christie Shaner's header had smacked off the crossbar. The play was set up by Thorlakson's rightside corner kick, producing the team's 13th corner-kick goal of the season.
Notre Dame's tremendous depth put the game out of reach midway through the second half. Senior forward Maggie Manning came off the bench to score her eighth goal of the season (besting her combined total from the previous three seasons) and South Bend native Susan Pinnick capped the scoring with her own sixth goal of 2005 while playing in a reserve role.
Notre Dame improved to 24-2-0 (.923) all-time in the BIG EAST Tournament while claiming its first title since 2001. The Irish now are 8-1-0 in all-time BIG EAST title games, including 7-1-0 in final-game matchups with UConn.
Thorlakson's 66 career assists rank seventh in NCAA history (one behind Daws) while her 28 assists in '05 rank as the fifth-most in a season ever by a Division-I player (former Notre Dame great Holly Manthei posted three seasons with 30-plus assists while former UNC standout Mia Hamm had 33 assists in '92).
The only other Division I teammates known to have posted 60-plus points in the same season include: SMU Danielle Garrett, later Fotopoulos (83) and Courtney Linex (77) in 1995; Notre Dame's Daws (72) and Jenny Streiffer (66) in '96; and North Carolina's Mia Hamm (97) and Kristine Lilly (65) in '92.
Thorlakson bids goodbye to the BIG EAST Tournament having totaled 24 points (8G-8A) in eight career conference tournament games, besting the Notre Dame record for career points in the conference event (Anne Makinen had 23 points in the BET, from '97-'00). Makinen still narrowly holds the Irish record for career points in all postseason games (43) but Thorlakson now is second on that list with 42 (13G-16A).
The senior frontrunner also has registered points in every game of the current win streak, with Thorlakson totaling 29 points (7G-15A) in those games. She now has points in 10 straight postseason games and has scored or assisted on nearly 70% of Notre Dame's goals (25 of 36) during the '04 and '05 postseasons (11G-14A).
Bock's nine goals leave her one shy of joining Hanks as a rare freshman duo with double-digit goals. Bock heads into the NCAAs having totaled 14 points (5G-4A) in the past eight games, with points in seven of the past nine games.
The Irish finished with a 20-11 edge in total shots, 11-6 in shots on goal and 6-3 in corner kicks, with most of the UConn chances coming in the lategoing when the outcome already was sealed. Notre Dame's pressure also produced nine offside calls, with the Irish still managing to break through for the five scores.
Notre Dame cashed in a breakaway chance to open the scoring midway through the opening half. Bock started the sequence with a short drop pass to 5th-year veteran Candace Chapman, who then launched the ball from her right-back position. The clearance sailed down the center of the field and Cinalli broke free onside, nudging the ball off her left shoulder and gaining possession in stride before slotting her shot at the edge of the six-yard box past the charging `keeper Stephanie Labbe, with the ball carrying into the center of the net for her fifth goal of the season and 15th of her young Irish career (23:10).
"Hanks and Thorlakson have had a record-setting season for us but Cinalli also is a great player who can hurt you," said Notre Dame head coach Randy Waldrum. "You saw that on the first goal where she set the tone for us. We've got a lot of weapons and if we can get them clicking at the same time, it's usually a good day for us."
Cinalli's score held up as her third gamewinner of the season and seventh of her career, as the Irish improved to 64-2-0 in their past 66 games when scoring first (one of those losses came in the '04 BIG EAST title game, when ND failed to hold its early lead in a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Huskies).
Thorlakson officially was not credited with an assist on the game's second goal but her service into a tricky crosswind set up that corner-kick score. Junior defender Christie Shaner elevated in the center of the box and snapped a header that banged off the crossbar. Bock alertly was in position and showed her athleticism, scoring from the same area as Cinalli after lunging in for a leftfooted stab that ripped into the right side of the net to suddenly yield the 2-0 lead in a span of less than three minutes (25:43).
"The wind was really tricky today so I just tried to put it up a little higher, because I know that Shaner can outjump anyone," said Thorlakson, whose corner kicks have led to 15 goals during the past two seasons (seven in '05).
Notre Dame's 15-year dominance when claiming a 2-0 lead continued in Sunday's action, as the Irish now have racked up 224 consecutive wins when claiming a 2-0 lead (dating back to a 1991 tie with Valparaiso).
The score remained 2-0 midway through the second half before the Irish added three more goals in a 10-minute span.
An extended give-and-go sequence between Hanks and Thorlakson produced the game's third goal in the 68th minute, marking the 18th time that the nation's top scoring tandem has combined on a goal in 2005. Hanks broke free down the center of the field and sent a low pass from just outside the top of the penalty area. Thorlakson ran onto the ball in the upper left corner of the box and made a brief hesitation move before driving past her defender to set up a leftfooted cross from the endline. Hanks saw the play developing and was well-positioned at the near post, sliding onto the ball and sending it pass Labbe into the center of the goal for the 3-0 lead (67:15).
Sunday's third goal all but clinched the victory, as the Irish now are 133-1-0 in their past 134 games when scoring three-plus goals (including 47 consecutive wins when scoring at least three goals, dating back to the middle of the '02 season).
Waldrum had plenty of praise for his pair of elite frontrunners following the game.
"It's interesting, one being a senior and one being a freshman, they have not had much time together but from day one, they have seemed to be on the same page," said Waldrum.
"They both are students of the game and understand the game so well and that's why they play so well off each other. It's a great tandem and I'm amazed all the time at Thorlakson. She continues to get marked, everybody tries to stop her and she just continues to finds ways to get goals, assists, whatever it takes. Having Hanks just makes it that much more difficult for teams."
Thorlakson pointed out that the third-goal sequence nearly happened several times earlier in the game.
"That was the fourth replay of what that goal could have been," she said. "We had that chance a couple other times and it didn't happen for us. At least we are creating opportunities and eventually putting them away.
Notre Dame's dominance during the current 10-game winning streak has been sparked by the impressive group of reserve forwards - Manning, Pinnick and junior midfielder Lizzie Reed - whose efficiency has mirrored that of a second line in hockey. Those three players have combined for 41 points this season (16G-9A), including 25 points over the course of the current win streak (10G-5A).
Thorlakson had the primary assist on Manning's goal, six minutes after the Hanks score, after sending a lead pass down the right side of the field. Manning ran onto the ball near the upper right corner of the box and angled away from the pursuit before striking a lunging, leftfooted shot that carried into the far side of the net for her 15th career goal with the Irish (73:00).
"Our second forward line came on and did a great for us," said Waldrum. "Maggie was very good for us her first two years but her junior year she kind of just struggled getting through the season and the game wasn't fun for her. This year, she's back to having fun again and is doing a great job off the bench. With players like her, we don't skip a beat. And to get to a title like this and the play well through the NCAAs, you need players like her to win it."
The assist yielded Thorlakson's 60th point of the season, officially placing her and Hanks among the top scorers in NCAA history. And with plenty of individual awards already on her resume, the senior forward admits that this shared honor is even more special.
"Getting 60 points along with Kerri us a great accomplishment and I definitely take a lot of pride in it," said Thorlakson. "Hanks is awesome. I love playing with her and it's great that we can put those numbers up together. She is such a natural goalscorer and is always going to give you her all. She's very smart in the game of soccer and she has that advantage over defenders who are going to try to take her out, She has been playing international soccer for a while and with that experience she is going to be a bit more mature on the ball."
Versatile sophomore Ashley Jones - who has played equally well this season as a midfielder and outside back - set up the final goal, extending a trend that has seen her register six of her nine career points during postseason play (including the goal in the '04 BIG EAST title game and a score in last week's BIG EAST quarterfinal vs. Georgetown). Jones played the ball into her classmate Cinalli, who then sent a cross that found Pinnick on the left side of the box. The former St. Joseph's High School standout then showed her creativity and elusiveness on the ball, sliding to her left to avoid the UConn defense before knocking her shot past Labbe for the 5-0 lead (77:16).

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS FROM ND HEAD COACH Randy Waldrum - "I like how we are playing and we will see how the draw goes. ... We've always felt having a strong regular season that puts you in position for the NCAAs was the most important phase. And then we felt the conference tournament was the second-most important phase, and then you see where you fall. We've won the regular-season tournament a lot of times but it's been a while since we won the tournament and it was nice for our seniors to go out winning it. There was a lot more focus on it with them this year. I'm really happy for them. ... Sometimes when you make changes, you worry that you lose a little bit of your rhythm and the past few weeks that group of Manning, Pinnick and Reed has come on and done great for us up front. We've also rotated our midfield with four players sharing the three spots. When we've rotated things, we haven't skipped a beat and that's what will help you get there at the end.
"Katie clearly is the reason we won the NCAA championship last year. We had a lot of great players on that team but she really carried us and I would expect her to do the same thing this year. The good thing is that she has so many great players around her, not only in the front line but if you look at our midfield scoring from Bock, Schefter and Buczkowski. There are just a lot of offensive players coming at you from different parts of the field. There are a lot of players who can win games for us at this time of the year. If we can keep this type of play going defensively, then I think we will have a good shot at making a run in the NCAAs.
"Candace [Chapman] has found her rhythm again as the outside back. She played mostly forward last year and it took her a while to be flying up and down the line again. With her international experience, I think she will be one of the future stars of the women's game internationally. She is must so composed and such a weapon coming out of the back. She can keep other teams from playing certain ways because she is so athletic and is a good tackler of the ball, but she also creates a lot for us offensively. She was the one who created the third goal for us against Marquette on Friday night, digging the ball out and getting forward.
"When we were here the first time [a 4-1 loss to Marquette], we were a little shaky in the back but we didn't make excuses because of the injuries. We did not have Kim Lorenzen in the starting lineup and Krivacek and Bohn were out. It was one of those things that snowballed. Every chance they got, they capitalized on. More than anything, we got healthy. I'm, never a fan of saying that sometimes losing is good. But, at the same time, it may have been a good thing at that time of year because we got is straightened out and the players took the responsibility."
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS FROM ND SENIOR FORWARD Katie Thorlakson - "We took one game at a time last year and it proved successful and hopefully we can do it again this year. ... Winning the BIG EAST Tournament feels great. I was getting to the point where I felt it never was going to happen. It's good that we won so handily. ... I've been pretty closely marked the past couple years and I play better when I am closely marked. That's the kind of thing that gets me going. If teams laid off me, I wouldn't know what to do. ... We are a little bit more mentally prepared going into the NCAAs this year. We know what it's going to take and that we can't take any game for granted. It's going to take all our players, like the Wisconsin game last year when Jill [Krivacek] scored on that late header. It's going to take everyone performing on any given day."
WONDERFUL WOMEN'S TEAMS - Despite Sunday's loss by the Irish volleyball team, Notre Dame has emerged as the nation's top program for women's teams during the fall season ... the women's soccer (19-2-0) and volleyball (22-2-0) teams - both ranked 5th in last week's national coaches polls - have combined for a .911 win pct. (41-4), with the soccer team currently riding a 10-game win streak that includes a 46-1 scoring edge while the volleyball team just had its 15-match winning streak that included a 45-4 edge in games won (for a combined streak 91-5 in soccer goals/vb games) ... not to be outdone, the 4th-ranked ND women's cross country team recently won the BIG EAST title with the best score at that prestigious event since '94.
CHAPPY HAPPY WITH ANOTHER TITLE - Fifth-year right back Candace Chapman was a member of ND's 2001 team that won the BIG EAST Tournament title and had been the only current Irish player with a BET title prior to Sunday's win ... Chapman's journey with the Irish has included its share of heartache, as illness and injuries prevented her from helping the Irish contend for BIG EAST and NCAA titles in the '01-'03 seasons ... that trend began to change in '04, as Chapman was a leading force during that NCAA championship season (her 10 goals including the memorable score in the 1-0 semifinal win over Santa Clara).
ROOKIE TANDEMS - Kerri Hanks (24) and Brittany Bock (9) are on the verge of becoming the seventh set of Notre Dame freshmen - but first since 2000 - to post double-digit goals in the same season ... others include: Alison Lester (14) and Stephanie Porter (10) in 1990; Rosella Guerrero (13) and Michelle McCarthy (12) in '92; Stacia Masters (13) and Cindy Daws (16) in '93; Jenny Streiffer (22) and Jenny Heft (12) in '96; Anne Makinen (23), Meotis Erikson (22) and Monica Gonzalez (10) in '97; and Amanda Guertin (11) and Amy Warner (10) in '00.
BLAME IT ON RIO (actually Campinas) - Since making its 2004 preseason training trip to Campinas, Brazil, the ND women's soccer team has racked up a 56-3-3 (.926) overall record spanning the games in Brazil (5-0-1), the '04 NCAA title season (25-1-1), the '05 spring season (7-0-1) and the current 2005 campaign (19-2-0).
IRISH NEARING TENTH 20-WIN SEASON - Notre Dame now is one win shy of posting its 10th season with 20-plus wins, in the 18-year history of the program ... the Irish set the team record for wins in 2004 (25-1-1), with other 20-win seasons including 24 in '96; 23 in '94, '97 and '00; 21 in '95, '98 and '99; and 20 in '03.
ND-UCONN SERIES - The Irish now hold a 16-4-2 series edge vs. the Huskies, outscoring UConn 11-0 in the past three meetings ... Thorlakson now has 4G-5A in her career vs. UConn (Cinalli 2G-2A; Bock 1G-3A, all this season).
SUNDAY, BLOODY SUNDAY - The Irish extended their Sunday domination this season, improving to 10-0-0 with a 50-2 scoring edge in Sunday games (compared to 9-2-0 and 42-8 in Friday games) ... all but one of the Sunday games this season was the second game of the weekend.
BIG-GAME POISE -Notre Dame also has won nearly 80 percent of its games (56-15-3, .777) during the Waldrum era (since '99) when facing an NSCAA top-25 (40-13-3) and/or postseason opponent.
ANOTHER SHUTOUT STREAK - Notre Dame enters the NCAAs riding a 298-minute shutout streak (18-0 scoring edge) spanning three-plus games ... that streak dates back to the final game of the regular season (6-1 vs. Georgetown), when the Hoyas scored early in the second half to halt a 571-minute ND shutout streak.
THE X FACTOR - ND now is 14-0-0 with a 73-3 scoring edge in games started by junior central back Kim Lorenzen this season ... Lorenzen's past 11 starts have produced 10 shutouts for the Irish, with a 51-1 scoring margin in those games ... her 14 starts also have featured a 339-55 shot edge (avg. 24.2-3.9), plus 196-21 in shots on goal (14.0-1.5) and 100-25 in CKs (7.1-1.8)
SHUTOUT CITY - Notre Dame registered its 15th shutout of 2005 (10 of the past 11) and 31st during the past two seasons.
SCORING STREAK HITS 32 - Amanda Cinalli's goal extended Notre Dame's scoring streak to 32 games, 3rd-longest in the program's history (the '97-'99 teams combined to score in 55 straight while the '95-'96 teams had a 36-game scoring streak).
A TRUE 90-MINUTE, ALL-AROUND TALENT - Katie Thorlakson entered the week having scored (now 16) or assisted (28) on more goals (now 44) than any other player in the countr.y
GOALS IN BUNCHES - Notre Dame now has scored three or more goals in each of the past eight games, matching the team record of eight straight games with three-plus goals ... the Irish have notched three-plus goals in 18 of the 21 games this season, are 18-0-0 in '05 when scoring multiple goals and have posted 18 wins this season by a margin of three-plus goals (all but the 1-0 overtime game at Rutgers) ... Sunday's win marked the eighth time in '05 that ND has scored 5-plus goals.
10-GAME WIN STREAK - The current 10-game win streak is the program's 10th all-time double-digit win streak ... the winning streak is 4th-longest in the seven-year Randy Waldrum era (behind win streaks of 16 games in 2000, 15 in '04 and 12 in '03) ... the current streak includes a 46-1 scoring edge, plus 245-44 in shots (avg. 24.5-4.4), 135-15 in shots on goal (13.5-1.5) and 76-20 in CKs (7.6-2.0) ... the Irish have dominated the second half during the streak (30-1 scoring edge).
SHOOTING FOR THE TOP - Notre Dame's junior class has yet to experience a game in which the Irish have been outshot, a span of 72 games that includes a 64-6-2 record during that '03-'05 span ... ND has held the shot edge in all 21 games this season and in 69 of the past 72, with three teams managing to tie the Irish in shots during that three-year span: UCLA in the '04 NCAA title game (11-1), Boston College in the '03 BIG EAST semifinals (6-6) and Arizona State early in the '03 season (11-11).
DYNAMIC DUO UPDATE - Hanks (62; 24G-13A) and Thorlakson (60; 16G-28A) now have combined for 122 points, 40 goals and 42 assists (with an avg. of 5.8 pts/gm as a tandem) ... Hanks now is 4th on the ND single-season points list, behind Cindy Daws (72, in '96), Thorlakson (70, in '04) and Jenny Streiffer (66, in `96) ... Thorlakson is 6th on that single-season scoring list ... the Irish are 15-0-0 this season when Hanks scores (she has points in 18 of the 21 games) ... Hanks had three shots on Sunday and now has 122 for the season (five shy of Thorlakson's ND record) ... Thorlakson has points in 29 of the past 32 games (18 in '05) and has scored/assisted on 52% of ND's goals during the past two seasons (91 of 165) ... she remains 7th on the ND career points list (172, five behind Holly Manthei) and logged her 91st career game with the Irish (16th in the ND record book) ... Thorlakson's current 10-game point streak is tied for 6th in the ND record book (she also owns the record with a 12-game point streak from '04-'05 and had a 9-game point streak earlier in `04).
UPDATED INDIVIDUAL NOTES - Randy Waldrum's ND teams now have won better than 85% of their games from '99-'05 (138-22-5, .852) ... junior M Jen Buczkowski and senior M Annie Schefter have appeared in all 73 games during the past three seasons, Shaner in 72 of the 73 (69 straight) ... Chapman logged her 88th career game with the Irish, including 48 straight (37 consecutive starts) ... senior G Erika Bohn has faced just five shots on goal since returning from her injury (spanning 479 minutes of game action) ... Bohn has made 79 career starts, second all-time among ND `keepers behind Jen Renola's 98 ... Bohn's current 0.47 season goals-against avg. would rank 4th in ND history.
UPDATED TEAM NOTES - ND still has trailed in just two games all season for a total of 77 minutes (4.1% of the 1,895 total minutes) ... the Irish posted their 61st all-time victory in postseason play (61-12-1, .831) ... the Irish also have scored in 46 of the past 47 games ... the ND players have combined to log 1,167 career games played (698 starts) ... the Irish are 122-11-3 (.908) in all games vs. BIG EAST teams since joining the conference in '95 ... ND owns a 51-5 scoring edge in the 2nd half this season (18-1 in 2nd half of past five games) ... the Irish have held 19 teams to 0-1 goals this season (41 of ND's past 44 opponents, and 65 of 72 in the past three seasons, have been kept from scoring multiple goals) ... ND's all-time record now is 338-59-17 (.837).
TEAM STATS IN THE ND RECORD BOOK - The '05 ND team is poised to take its spot among the tops in the program's storied history ... the team is on pace for the best stats of the Waldrum era ('99-'05) in scoring margin (+85), goals/gm (4.52), players with goals (15), players with pts (19), goalscoring accuracy (5.1 shots per goal), shots per game (23.0), corners per game (7.1) - and fewest shots (4.4), SOG (2.0) and CKs (1.7) allowed per game, plus the best shot (+18.6), SOG (+10.6) and CK (+5.4) margins of the Waldrum era ... the team's 95 goals (three more than the opponents' 92 combined shots, 42 on goal) are most by an ND team since the '99 team had 98 (Waldrum's first year) ... the +85 scoring margin (95-10) is best of the Waldrum era and best since '97 (+126) ... ND's 4.52 goals/ gm ranks 3rd in ND history and best since the '97 team (5.45) ... 15 ND players have scored goal in '05 (most since 15 did so in '97) while 19 have registered points (2nd-best in ND history, best since 20 had points in '96) ... Kerri Hanks and Katie Thorlakson are the program's first pair of players with 15-plus goals since Heft and Streiffer in '99 ... the team's six players with 20-plus points are the most since '99 (6) ... ND is scoring at a rate of one goal per every 5.1 shots (4th all-time, best since 4.4 in '96) ... the Irish are averaging 23.0 shots per game (4th all-time, best since 26.8 in '98), 12.6 shots-on-goal/gm (3rd, best since 12.8 in '00) and 7.1 corners/gm (best since 10.5 in '97) ... defensively, the Irish own a 0.47 season goals-against avg. (3rd-best, best since 0.39 in '00) and are on pace to challenge the ND records for fewest shots allowed (4.4 per game; standing record is 4.0 in '97) and fewest shots on goal allowed (2.0/gm; record is 2.1 in '97) ... ND has allowed just 1.7 CKs per game (2nd-best all-time; 1.2 in '97) ... the team's season stat margins include +18.6 in shots (2nd all-time, behind 20.0 in '98), +10.6 in SOG (on pace to break record of 10.4 in '96) and +5.4 in CKs (2nd all-time, behind 8.4 in '98).

Howard Beach's earliest inhabitants were Canarsie and Rockaway Indians, and, later, English settlers, all attracted to rich fishing sites at Hawtree Creek and Jamaica Bay. The area was called Remsen's Landing during the 1770's, after Col. Jeramus Remsen, its largest landowner and a Revolutionary War Regiment leader.
By 1900, Howard Beach earned the nickname "The Venice of Long Island" for its many waterways, and the name "Ramblersville" was adopted by residents along Hawtree Creek when a visitor remarked about the charm of the sleepy fishing village. The community takes its present name from a Brooklyn glove manufacturer, William J. Howard, who operated a goat farm near Aqueduct as a source of skins for his business, and who opened a hotel and cottage community around the turn of the century. "Hotel Howard" became popular with the rich and famous, and boasted a pier that stretched two thousand feet into Jamaica Bay. Though the resort was destroyed by fire in 1907, Mr. Howard went on to develop land in the area, and the first model home of "Howard Estates" opened in 1913.
The extension of the New York City subway system, completion of a sewer line, and the opening of Aqueduct Racetrack spurred a housing boom, generating a cluster of small developments, such as West Hamilton Beach, Lindenwood, and Rockwood Park, which comprise modern Howard Beach, an amalgam of private homes, cooperative housing, condominiums, and garden apartments. Cross Bay Boulevard is a vigorous and bustling commercial strip. The population is largely Italian-American and Jewish-American.
Library services to the Howard Beach community were provided by Bookmobile until April, 1963, when a rented storefront was opened at 155-12 Cross Bay Boulevard, the Library system's 52nd neighborhood branch. In 1979, services were moved to the present location, a city-owned building at 92-06 156 Avenue.

F1 Fastpass: Daniil Kvyat
Formula One racing is going through an offseason transformation. With rule changes, an exciting new driver, and blockbuster team and driver changes, 2014 will provide a fresh look for fans. With less than six weeks to go before the kickoff in Australia, here are some reasons to watch in 2014:
- The minimum weight has been increased from 642k to 690k to accommodate expanded weight limits in the powertrain.
- The V8 2.4 engines are being traded for a 1.6 litre V6 turbo engine.
- Fuel will be limited to 100kg per race. Today teams use about 160kg per race, so this will introduce interesting pit strategies… in the interest of fuel conservation, of course.
- The Energy Recovery System (ERS), which captures and reuses wasted energy created during braking, will be responsible for more power. According to F1.com, "ERS comprise two energy recovery systems (Motor Generator Unit – Kinetic [MGU-K] and Motor Generator Unit – Heat [MGU-H]), plus an Energy Store (ES) and control electronics. "
- New rules to increase safety based on continual research, including reducing the nose height.
A Danish 21 year old is joining the Legendary McLaren crew. This could be the story of the year. His name is Kevin Magnussen, and he is joining the McLaren team that made Lewis Hamilton a star in his rookie year. With so many rule changes, the landscape is perfect timing for a new entrant. Following an epic four year run for Sebastian Vettel, watch for Magnussen to challenge in 2014.
3) Blockbuster team and driver changes
Beginning with the McLaren addition of a rookie phenom to the fan favorite and F1 champion Jenson Button, the grid will look much different in 2014 than it did in 2013.
- Force India matches Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez.
- The Championship Red Bull team has added Daniel Ricciardo to fill the spot left by the "retiring" (leaving for greener pastures, racing for Porsche) Mark Webber.
- Ferrari brings back champion Finnish driver Kimi Raikkonen to be "#2" to Fernando Alonso… this should be fun.
- Lotus replaces Raikkonen with Pastor Maldonado.
- Sauber adds Sergey Sirotkin… watch this move, he will be aggressive.
- Williams has added former Ferrari driver Felipe Massa, who is ready win.
- Sauber has added Adrian Sutil, an experienced and exciting driver.
I would really like to be telling you all about the new US race in 2014… we were supposed to have a race in New Jersey this year, helping F1 continue to regain it's American audience. That isn't going to happen this year, so the best we have is Austin, Texas, a track that is a driver favorite.
Even so, with the new rules, an exciting rookie, and plenty of team changes, the 2014 season is looking like perfect timing for a new entrant… Best of luck to the returning champion, the rookie, and everyone else on the grid.

Hank Williams, Sherlock Holmes, Tom Sawyer and Zora Neale Hurston will all be on WaterTower Theatre stage over the next year.
TheAddisoncompany's 2013-2014 season, announced Thursday, includes plays about, or inspired by, all these famous folks. In addition, two recent critical hits fromNew Yorkwill get regional premieres.
TheAddisoncompany's 2013-2014 season, announced Thursday, includes plays about, or inspired by, all these famous folks. In addition, two recent critical hits fromNew Yorkwill get regional premieres.
The new works are David Lindsay-Abaire's drama Good People and the off-Broadway musical Dogfight. Pulitzer Prize playwright Lindsay-Abaire won a 2011 Tony Award nomination for his study of a woman from a blue-collarBoston neighborhood threatens to reveal the secrets of an old friend who made good.
Dogfight, based on the 1991 movie, deals with Marines about to ship out to Vietnam. It's set on the eve of the Kennedy assassination, but the production opens in the summer of 2014 rather than this 50th-anniversary year. The score is by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who wrote the songs for the off-Broadway musical depicted in the TV series Smash.
The two shows dealing with famous 20th-century Americans, Randal Myler and Mark Harelik's Hank Williams: Lost Highway and George C. Wolfe's Spunk (adapted from stories by Harlem Renaissance writer Zora Neale Hurston), have both had previous productions at the Dallas Theater Center.
The plays about fictional characters are fresher: Laura Eason has newly adapted the Mark Twain novel in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and Ken Ludwig's The Game's Afoot is actually about a fictional actor who specializes in playing Sherlock Holmes. The latter is set during the Christmas holidays, and both are regional premieres. The Game's Afoot is a special non-subscription show.
WaterTower hasn't yet announced who will be staging any of the productions. In addition to the subscription plays on the main season, the company will present its 14th annual Out of the Loop Fringe Festival March 6-16.
Here's the WaterTower 2013-2014 schedule:
Hank Williams: Lost Highway, Oct. 11- Nov. 3
The Game's Afoot (Holmes for the Holiday), Dec. 13-Jan. 5
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Jan. 24-Feb. 16
Out of theLoopFringe Festival March 6-16
Spunk, April 11-May 4
Good People, June 6-29, 2014
Dogfight, July 25-Aug. 17, 2014 Five-play subscription packages run $75 to $150. Call 972-450-6232. In June, subscriptions will go on sale online at watertowertheatre.org.

Lucy's Mom and Grandma run a small town pharmacy. Lucy hangs out there a lot to help out. She straightens shelves and runs the cash register too, but her favorite part of the pharmacy is the beauty aisle. Lucy reads all the boxes and tries out the samples and even though she's only twelve, she's kind of an expert.
The problem with the pharmacy is that it is in trouble. There is a lunch counter and soda fountain that nobody is visiting anymore. Too many people are going to Wal-mart instead of their small main street pharmacy. Bills are not getting paid and there's talk that the family may have to sell their house.
When the local homecoming queen comes in with a major hair disaster, Lucy is able to fix her up for the big night. The beauty queen and her friends become loyal customers.
You saved my friend from horrible hair humiliation at homecoming. You're like a a hair-care prodigy.
Word gets around and Lucy is soon dishing out beauty tips, make-up lessons, doing nails and offering beauty advice. While kids are there for beauty tips, they begin ordering from the soda counter and buying things. When Lucy joins her school's Earth Club, her plan really begins to come together, she's determined to open an Eco-Spa right in her family pharmacy and save it from going out of business
While on the internet, Lucy discovers a grant application for businesses going green. With the help of her college age sister Lucy puts together the grant proposal to make her eco-beauty dreams come true. Will her Mom and Grandma stop bickering long enough to listen to her plan? Do they notice that Lucy has loyal customers of her own, returning for their beauty treatments before the prom and graduation? Do they realize that Lucy has a plan, a real business plan, even if she is just a kid? This is a story for any kid who has ever been frustrated by grownups that won't take them seriously, just because of their age. Old people don't want discriminated against because of their age – neither do kids!
Lisa Greenwald Official Website
|Here are some books about other kids who take charge when there is something to fix or fight for. They also don't like grownups not believing they are capable of big things.

Visitors arrived to find "CLOSED" signs at the Statue of Liberty, the Smithsonian and other parks and historic sites across the country. Callers looking for help from the government reached only voicemail. And federal employees were left to wonder when they would return to work.
The first government shutdown in 17 years took hold Tuesday in ways large and small.
About 800,000 federal employees were sent home — a number greater than the combined U.S. workforces of Target, General Motors, Exxon and Google. First slowed, then stalled by political gridlock, the vast machinery of government clanged into partial shutdown mode on Tuesday and President Barack Obama warned the longer it goes "the more families will be hurt."
Ominously, there were suggestions from leaders in both parties that the shutdown, heading for its second day, could last for weeks and grow to encompass a possible default by the Treasury if Congress fails to raise the nation's debt ceiling. The two issues are "now all together," said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Santa Clarita, said he has no idea how long the shutdown will last.
"I really don't know," he said. "This is worse than anything I've seen in my 21 years here."
McKeon was in Congress the last time the government was shut down in the mid-1990s. But he said Tuesday that shutdown was fairly limited, covering only a few spending areas, as opposed to the most recent shutdown during which the parties have scarcely been able to come to terms on anything.
"It's bad to have any kind of shutdown, and the longer it goes the worse it gets," McKeon said.
McKeon criticized Senate Democrats for their "arrogance" and said he thinks they were unwilling to negotiate. He also said he thinks Republican demands to delay implementation of the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as Obamacare, are reasonable.
But despite all that, McKeon said he would support a continuing resolution to fund the government without any movement on Obamacare should Republican leadership bring such a motion up for a vote.
"Yes, I will vote for a clean CR (continuing resolution) if it goes to the floor," McKeon said.
Lee Rogers, a Simi Valley Democrat who is running against McKeon in the 2014 election, accused McKeon of playing politics.
"It is time Congressman McKeon stops his partisan games and listens to the people in his district," Rogers said. "If he does this, he will stop the process of governing by crisis and vote to pass a clean budget resolution, re-opening the government so the needs of millions of Americans will be met."
A Santa Clarita official said the shutdown should have no immediate effect on the city.
"We don't anticipate any direct affect for the city of Santa Clarita as a result of the federal shutdown," said spokesman Evan Thomason.
"For the city, it's business as usual for the near future. We'll continue to monitor the situation, but all of our services, projects and programs remain uninterrupted."

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- New York Mortgage Trust (NYMT) fell 3.71% to $7.53 at 9:55 a.m. on Wednesday after the company priced its underwritten public offering of common stock.
The company priced its offering of 13 million shares at $7.59 a share. The offering also includes an option for underwriters to purchase an additional 1,950,000 shares. The offering should close on Monday, April 7.
NYMT plans to use most of the net proceeds from this offering to acquire distressed residential loans and to invest in mezzanine loans to and preferred equity investments in owners of multi-family properties. It could also use some of the net proceeds for other general purposes, such as the repayment of indebtedness.
STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
TheStreet Ratings team rates NEW YORK MORTGAGE TRUST INC as a "hold" with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate NEW YORK MORTGAGE TRUST INC (NYMT) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, compelling growth in net income and attractive valuation levels. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including poor profit margins and feeble growth in the company's earnings per share."

4 men are arrested
in counterfeiting case
Four men were arrested on suspicion of fraud after allegedly using counterfeit bills to buy items from an Oro Valley Target store, according to police.
On Friday, three men bought nearly $600 worth of merchandise from Target, in the 10000 block of North Oracle Road, using counterfeit $20 bills, Lt. Kara Riley, an Oro Valley Police Department spokeswoman, said in a news release.
Staffers from that store contacted other Target stores to inform them of the incident, and within 45 minutes the three men went to a Target in Marana and tried to exchanged the merchandise purchased at the Oro Valley store for cash, the release said.
Police met with the three men as they were leaving the Target in Marana.
Officers obtained a search warrant and found items used to make counterfeit money in the hotel room, the release said. A fourth suspect was arrested at the hotel.
Billy Hamilton, 24, Akeem Johnson, 22, and Ronnie Ringo, 23, were arrested on suspicion of nine counts each of forgery, fraud schemes and organized retail theft, the release said.
Michael Hamilton, 29, was arrested on suspicion of 14 counts of forgery and fraud schemes.
All four men were booked into the Pima County jail.
Sheriff's copter rescues
Mt. Lemmon hikers
A mother and her three children were rescued on Mount Lemmon Sunday after the group ran out of water and suffered minor injuries.
The group began hiking at about 1 p.m., and shortly before 4:30 p.m., the Southern Arizona Rescue Association responded to the mountain for a rescue, said Chief Deputy Chris Nanos of the Pima County Sheriff's Department.
The rescuers learned that during the hike, one of the children suffered a possible ankle injury, another had bleeding blisters, and the group was out of water, Nanos said in a news release.
The 36-year-old woman called 911 and requested assistance. Her children were ages 12, 14 and 15, Nanos said.
A Sheriff's Department helicopter crew hoisted the kids, and later the woman, to a nearby landing zone.

I honestly don't how I feel about this one. On one hand, I see scooter kids around Southern California firing a similar trick out on a daily basis. On the other hand, a BMX bike is considerably bigger than a scooter and obviously adds to the difficulty. It's a gnarly move either way–your thoughts?
Hey I'm Liam quinlivan and I'm still the only one who can land an inward on a bmx I've seen others try and get really close but still the only rider who can do it

Authorities investigating 2-month-old's death
Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:05:57 GMT —
Police are investigating the death of an Eldon baby.
On Thursday, Eldon Police responded to 103 S. Maple St. for reports that a 2-month-old was unresponsive.
Eldon police said the child was taken to Lake Regional Hospital, where the baby was pronounced dead. The baby was taken to University Hospital in Columbia for an autopsy.
Eldon police, who noted the scent of marijuana in the residence, called the Highway Patrol's Division of Drug and Crime Control to investigate. Officers found several drugs including meth, marijuana, morphine, hydrocodone and other perscription drugs. They also found needles, syringes, a scale and packaging materials inside the apartment.
Several residents were just finding out about the incident Monday.
A shocked neighbor who knew Bond's family learned of the baby's death at church Sunday when her pastor asked church-goers to keep the family in their prayers.
"They've been here for many, many years. I've known them since about 1970. [They're an] upstanding family. They live here in town, just a couple of blocks away from here. A very, very fine family," Janet Wolfe said.
Graham Bond, 32, and Elizabeth Burnett, 25, were arrested and charged with felony counts of endangering the welfare of a child, possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, possession of a controlled substance and maintaining a public nuisance.
Bond and Burnett are each being held on a $100,000 bond.
A 3-year-old toddler was present at the location when the 2-month-old was found unresponsive.

I'm seriously losing it. Staring at the email I've just opened, I can't quite believe the image gazing back at me. It's of a dejected, balding cartoon man, bearing more than a passing resemblance to Herman from the children's game Guess Who?.
What disturbs me most about this email is that this isn't a picture of Herman. It's a picture of me. The DNA analysis beneath it confirms my worst fears. My follicular future is painfully clear: hair today, gone tomorrow.
I am a 33-year-old man with a full head of hair. And at this point, I am not only regretting the fact I have opened Pandora's Box; I am hoping there are some realistic looking hairpieces inside it.
I went to Harley Street to experience a groundbreaking new procedure recently launched in Britain – the HairDX genetic test. The concept is simple: via DNA analysis, trichologists can predict whether you're going to lose your hair. And if you're facing up to the bald truth of androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss), you are able to take preventative measures.
Hair loss has always been a big deal for men. More than 3,000 years ago, the ancient Egyptians were 'treating' the condition with a potion containing onions, hippopotamus skin, the fat of a snake and a dash of honey. Even Julius Caesar – a man who needn't care what anybody thought of him – was so self-conscious about the strategic retreat on his cranium that he's credited with inventing the comb-over.
In the 21st century, baldness is a multibillion-pound industry. Typing 'hair loss' into Google brings up 3.4million hits, many of them references to famous names such as Wayne Rooney , Jason Donovan and Gordon Ramsay , who have each reportedly spent up to £30,000 on hair transplants.
But that's just the tip of the widow's peak. Depending on your budget, you can choose anything from low-level laser light surgery (which alters cellular function) to specialist hair tattoos to restore the appearance of healthy, flowing locks. From a consumer's point of view, the HairDX test is not only timely, it's also an excellent investment at £195, potentially saving you thousands of pounds in the future.
The test is conducted by Dr Bessam Farjo, medical director of the Institute of Trichologists. My appointment at his Harley Street clinic lasts just 20 minutes and involves a general consultation into my family history (a bit like going to see a new GP), the all-important DNA swab inside both cheeks (a bit like going to see the dentist) and a detailed check of my scalp (a bit like going to see the nit nurse). My DNA sample is then carefully packaged up and posted off to a lab in China, where it will be analysed for a variation in the androgen receptor (AR) gene, which affects the hair growth cycle.
I'm quite nervous about the result, particularly after Dr Farjo identified 'some thinning' at my temples. But why? I wouldn't bat an eyelid if hair started falling out from my chest or arms. Dr Nicole Gehl, a psychotherapist at The Priory, says this is an entirely normal response.
'With society's persistent emphasis on physical appearance, the impact of male hair loss should not be underestimated,' she says. 'It's considered a symptom of middle age and, as such, is associated with things like a reduction of lean body mass and lowered sex drive. As a result, it can affect men, particularly younger ones, badly. Research has shown the psychological effects include lowered self-esteem, introversion, depression and neuroticism.'
That's pretty much exactly how I feel when, ten days later, Herman pops up unannounced in my inbox, accompanied the words: 'High risk.'
When I call Dr Farjo he tells me the test is only 80 per cent certain. 'There's still a chance your hair will be absolutely fine,' he says.
Those odds aren't good enough for me, so I resolve to take pre-emptive action. On Dr Farjo's recommendation, I load up on Regain foam and Finasteride tablets – both medically proven ways to stop hair loss before it happens. It's expensive but I reassure myself that it's my way of changing the course of the future. The HairDX test may have given me a nasty surprise but it's also given me a timely warning and for that I'm extremely grateful. I don't want to be surprised by Herman again – particularly not in the mirror.

In addition to adding hardware, Potomac has developed new processes that allow for very precisely creating holes in a wide range of materials and thicknesses. For example, Potomac successfully completed a project in which 1,000's of holes, as small as 4 microns, were drilled through 150-micron thick stainless steel. In another breakthrough, microholes, as small as 25 microns, were drilled through 1mm thick Tantalum. Utilizing state of the art Aerotech motion control systems that have been calibrated to NIST traceable standards, feature to feature positional accuracies can be held to submicron levels.
This expansion has also resulted in much shorter lead-times, with some projects being completed in less than 24 hours and most within 48-72 hours. "Potomac now drills millions of holes per day for a broad range of industries including medical, biotech, semiconductor, optical, and automotive," stated Director of Operations, Mike Davis. "The ability to drill highly precise microholes is critical for the development of many new products and devices and we are committed to being on the forefront of this technology," added Greg Behrmann, Potomac's Chief Technology Officer.
Potomac Photonics has been a leader in microfabrication for almost 3 decades. Potomac's contact services span prototyping to production, helping clients develop miniature products and bring them to market. Utilizing cutting-edge manufacturing technology, Potomac has been recognized by both commercial and government agencies for innovation in areas such as medical device manufacturing and electronics fabrication. Potomac's high-tech facility, located in Lanham, MD, is ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 13485:2003 certified.

I make overnight cereal with this and add greek yogurt. But my favorite method is to cook it for 2 hours in my Little Dipper Crock Pot. I put it on early & it's ready post workout. It comes out so creamy & delicious. I add fresh blueberries or pure maple syrup.
Tried this cereal a few years ago looking for a good healthy AND tasty option for breakfast and have been buying it ever since. My wife also eats it in the mornings. Stovetop cooking, we both put in dark brown sugar, I add some butter, she adds some cinnamon. We both enjoy.
Love this cereal! I cook it on the stove top, adding frozen raspberries. Once done, I add a touch of brown sugar... makes 3 breakfasts for me :) So the next couple of days I just add a bit of water to the next bowl, pop it in the microwave, then add brown sugar. It keeps me filled up for hours.
I have been buying this hot cereal for years now. I usually make this in the microwave and add some almond butter or peanut butter to it for added protein. It's also really good with strawberries and blueberries added into the mix once it's done cooking. So happy to have found this and so thankful for Bob's direct purchase from their site.
This is really good stuff; the only suggestion I'd make is to use less water than the recipe calls for. 1 1/2 cups (as opposed to 2 1/2 suggested) is probably plenty.
I made a batch of this hot cereal, and added 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa for more protein. I divided it in two, and mixed one half with homemade baked cinnamon apples, and the other half with blueberries. When cooking it, I actually substituted 1/2 of the water for unsweetened vanilla almond milk, just to add a little extra flavor and creaminess. It is delicious! I can see mixing the base hot cereal with just about anything!
The best oats I have ever had,I even eat them raw! Awesome texture
I saw this product in the cereal section of my local grocery. It looked much more interesting and healthful than some of the more "generic" offerings. Had yet to try Bob's RM products. This is a really good product! Prepped on stovetop per instructions, hit it with a bit of light brown sugar and milk. Texture holds up really well and has good bite to it. The flavor is better than "stock" oatmeal as there are some added notes. Can't go wrong with this product. Looking forward to trying cookie recipe on back of bag too!
I have recently discovered this cereal, and I am so thrilled with it. I cook it with half a serving of dried apples and a dash of salt - takes 3 minutes in the microwave. Then I add just a tiny bit of brown sugar and a splash of milk. The texture is more interesting than oatmeal, and the flavor is very pleasant and mild. It's also good with dried apricots.
I like how this hot cereal maintains its shape and is rather bland by itself so I can add cranberries, raisins, etc along with Truvia. It keeps me satisfied so is good for days I'm working and it's gonna be busy with no time for snacks. My favorite way to eat it is prepared like I said along with a container of Greek yogurt, cup of hot tea, and maybe a piece of fruit!
This is the tastiest way to start your morning! It's not gummy like quick oats, so much flavor and the texture is wonderful. I make it with some plump juicy raisins and a bit of cinnamon. In a pinch last week, I was making it at the office, had forgotten cinnamon, so I brewed a cup of apple cinnamon herbal tea and made my cereal with that! it was AMAZING!
I love this hot cereal. I make it with diced apples, cinnamon, and a little salt. I top it off with a teaspoon of brown sugar. The most awesome part is that it is the most Weight Watchers-friendly hot cereal I have found: only THREE POINTS for a 1-cup serving! And it's as satisfying as a bowl of oatmeal. I'm considering buying the 4.5 pound box direct from Bob's so I can save some money.
I prepare this cereal by following the recipe on the back, boiling water with added cinnamon, and then adding cereal and raisins. I make it in the evening, refrigerate, and then have enough for two breakfasts. I microwave the cereal for two minutes and then the cereal is ready to eat with milk. Can't get much easier!
I love this cereal! I use an half serving of dried fruit and no other sweetner! Cooked in microwave makes a perfect start to my day.
I combine this with equal amount of steel cut oats. I use three parts water to one part milk. I add real vanilla and almond extract to taste. It cooks in the crockpot over night and ready in the morning. LOVE IT ! ! !
Surprise not to see any reviews incorporating product into bread - makes a hugh difference in taste, crumb and lightness of any loaf.
Great for breakfast. I never bother to cook it, just add raisins, a few walnuts, and mix with my favorite yogurt and voila, a great treat.
Great taste, like to eat cold with a little milk. No sweeteners needed. Really helps to watch my sugar intake, fiber and omega 3. Have tried many types of cereals and none had a good flavor like this one. Good nuttiness to the cereal and texture. Will buy other products from this brand.
I mostly use this as a hot cereal as an alternative to oatmeal. Wonderful flavor.
I absolutely love this whole grain mixture. I am so full after eating it I do not get hungry until lunch and sometimes later. I mix it with Stevia, walnuts and real maple syrup for a great breakfast and really pretty healthy. I usually mix 1/2 cup cereal with 1 cup of water and microwave for 2 minutes than let sit for 5. Recommend this highly.
This cereal does NOT have to be cooked. I soak it refrigerated overnight with the recommended ratio of cereal and water next morning add vanilla and brown sugar or maple syrup. It's GREAT with bananas and blueberries. Add cinnamon and apple for a change. If it's cold out, you can warm it up but that's not usually the case in Texas.
I cook this cereal in the evening and then refrigerate. The next morning, I microwave a portion for two minutes (add about 1 Tablespoon water) for an easy hot breakfast.|I add raisins and cinnamon (sometimes pumpkin pie spice) when cooking. |It is even delicious cold.
I absolutely love this particular blend because each ingredient seems carefully included and is individually delicious. Not only is this cereal totally satisfying when served hot, it's texture does not appreciably change when cooked in the microwave vs. on the stove, which makes it a convenient whole grain choice. Plus, it helps make my homemade granola even tastier and nutrient-dense. This is li
For my personal tastes, this cereal cooks up beautifully in 10 minutes. My favorite way to eat it: brown sugar, berries (usually strawberry, blueberry, raspberry), sliced almonds, a spoon of chobani fat free yogurt (for an extra protein kick which I think is important for breakfast) and a dash of soymilk. Fiber, protein, and little sweetness to keep me going straight to lunch time. Good texture, f
I love this as a hot cereal, with a bit of brown sugar, but the recipe for the cookies is the show stopper - makes an amazingly delicious, healthy and portable snack that makes the idea of a "Breakfast Cookie" truly reasonable. People are always amazed that such a delicious cookie can actually be good for you!||Also try the BRM Muesli cookies. Great stuff!
Agree with all the other reviews. What a superb product. Great mix of whole grains and fiber types. Great texture. Desert tip—it may take some tweaking, but make a stovetop "rice pudding" using the 5 Grain Cereal instead of rice!!!
I absolutely love this and the other products for breakfast! But, I have a grandchild who is ADHD, and has sugars restricted from his diet. One day I made, "Bob's 5 Grain Cookies", and snuck him some cookies while at my house. He was great! Now this is my secret, and the only cookie that he can eat.It is wonderful that he can have a cookie that doesn't make him bounce off the walls. Thank You!
I love this cereal. I have divt. and it is helpful with this. I eat it almost every morning with a handful of nuts. I microwave it and have no problems with losing any texture or flavor. I wish that I could purchase this at the store but they don't seem to carry it they go for the higher grained cereal and I think this one is perfect. Glad I can order on line. Yes, coupon here and there wou
This cereal is the best hot cereal I have come across in a long time. Eating this now for 10 years, the taste reminds me of the Wheatena cereal my mother fixed (and I loved) as a kid. Making this cereal better is that the texture is chewy and substantial. Excellent with milk and maple syrup. Add nuts or dried fruit during cooking to make a more-filling breakfast.
If you would only Give us some Coupons, from time to time, please, as good clients that we are, it would be even better!
I used this product in a bread recipe from america's test kitchen. their Mutigrain bread recipe.I have been making bread for many years and this recipe with this product has been the best I have ever made
I've been eating this every morning for the last three or so years.Before that I ate the 10 grain for 4 years. Something changed in the last order I got, it wasn't chewy with thick, heavy grains. Now it's not much different than oats you buy in the store. Even my 8 yr. old daughter noticed a change. I'd like to know what Bob did with the old recipe. Please use the old recipe.
Makes a great satisfying breakfast.Great nutritional value as well.I love the fact that you get a whole variety of grains in one cereal.It's the perfect hot cereal to start your day full of energy.
This cereal is delicious to eat "as is"--raw. No need to cook it if you like chewy cereals. I add chopped figs, raisons, and dried apricots or peaches, along with milk and raw brown sugar from India (jaggery). Makes a satisfying breakfast, or an equally good light supper.
I love this cereal. I eat it almost every day for breakfast and sometimes for lunch as well. I cook a batch, usually enough for 5 meals and put in in serving size containers in the frige. This way I don't have to cook it evry day. Before heating I add a spoon full of protein powder, a spoon of splenda, either some raisins or dried cranberries and soy milk. I heat it in the microwave for 3 minutes,
What an excellent product! Great taste and very easy to make. Our kids even like it, amazing.
The package just looked good and cooked it was even better. I cannot remember eating oatmeal that tasted so good and hearty. I have been using instant and did like it. You have made me happy

Bible : Old and New Testaments (King James Version)
This book
include History of King James Bible and their work.
The King James Version (KJV), commonly
known as the Authorized Version (AV) or King James Bible (KJB), is an English
translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England begun in 1604 and
completed in 1611. First printed by the King's Printer Robert Barker, this was
the third translation into English to be approved by the English Church
authorities. The first was the Great Bible commissioned in the reign of King
Henry VIII, and the second was the Bishops' Bible of 1568. In January 1604,
King James I convened the Hampton Court Conference where a new English version
was conceived in response to the perceived problems of the earlier translations
as detected by the Puritans, a faction within the Church of England.
James gave the translators instructions
intended to guarantee that the new version would conform to the ecclesiology
and reflect the episcopal structure of the Church of England and its belief in
an ordained clergy. The translation was done by 47 scholars, all of whom were
members of the Church of England. In common with most other translations of the
period, the New Testament was translated from Greek, the Old Testament was
translated from Hebrew text, while the Apocrypha were translated from the Greek
and Latin. In the Book of Common Prayer (1662), the text of the Authorized
Version replaced the text of the Great Bible – for Epistle and Gospel readings
– and as such was authorized by Act of Parliament. By the first half of the
18th century, the Authorized Version was effectively unchallenged as the
English translation used in Anglican and Protestant churches. Over the course
of the 18th century, the Authorized Version supplanted the Latin Vulgate as the
standard version of scripture for English speaking scholars. Today, the most
used edition of the King James Bible, and often identified as plainly the King
James Version, especially in the United States, closely follows the standard
text of 1769, edited by Benjamin Blayney at Oxford.

The title Good Poems comes from common literary parlance. For writers, it's enough to refer to somebody having written a good poem. Somebody else can worry about greatness. Mary Oliver's "Wild Geese" is a good poem, and so is James Wright's "A Blessing." Regular people love those poems. People read them aloud at weddings, people send them by e-mail.
Good Poems includes poems about lovers, children, failure, everyday life, death, and transcendance. It features the work of classic poets, such as Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, and Robert Frost, as well as the work of contemporary greats such as Howard Nemerov, Charles Bukowski, Donald Hall, Billy Collins, Robert Bly, and Sharon Olds. It's a book of poems for anybody who loves poetry whether they know it or not.
In this luminous collection, Daniel Ladinsky—best known for his gifted and bestselling interpretations of the great Sufi poet Hafiz—brings together the timeless work of twelve of the world's finest spiritual writers, six from the East and six from the West. Once again Ladinsky reveals his talent for creating profound and playful renditions of classic poems for a modern audience. Rumi's joyous, ecstatic love poems; St. Francis's loving observations of nature through the eyes of Catholicism; Kabir's wild, freeing humor that synthesizes Hindu, Muslim, and Christian beliefs; St. Teresa's sensual verse; and the mystical, healing words of Sufi poet Hafiz—these along with inspiring works by Rabia, Meister Eckhart, St. Thomas Aquinas, Mira, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, and Tukaram are all "love poems by God," from writers considered to be "conduits of the divine." A spiritual treasure to cherish always.

The Little Office of Our Lady also known as Hours of the Virgin is a liturgical devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, in imitation of, and usually in addition to, the Divine Office in the Roman Catholic Church. It is a cycle of psalms, hymns, scripture and other readings. The Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary probably originated as a monastic devotion around the middle of the eighth century. Peter the Deacon reports that at the Benedictine Monastery of Monte Cassino there was, in addition to the Divine Office, another office "which it is customary to perform in honour of the Holy Mother of God, which Zachary the Pope commanded under strict precept to the Cassinese Monastery."

"Do not let what you can't do interfere with what you CAN do" – John Wooden
Welcome to the Inspiration Series! Released every Monday to help you get going with your workweek!
This week's story: Morgan Shepherd taking the biggest hit of his career and losing everything.
Yet he didn't let what he couldn't do interfere with what he could do. And at the age of 70 he's still racing competitively after 45 years.
Morgan Shepherd was among the biggest names of the NASCAR industry. He was back then what Jimmy Johnson, Carl Edwards and Jeff Gordon are today
Even today, he is still popular with the fans and other drivers
In 1969 he won 21 out of 29 races
But he lost it all
In 1998 an agent and sponsor agreed to help out Morgan and his team.
Morgan got everything prepared for the season without yet receiving a check from the sponsor.
Then the agent pulled a fast one on Morgan: the agent took the sponsor away from Morgan and made a deal with another driver and team.
Morgan already spent the money. He lost everything…..his team, his sponsorship, equipment, parts, etc.
But he never lost his competitive edge.
He would not let what he couldn't do interfere with what he could do.
He still had a car…..and he would go to races with his wife, Cindy, who would serve as his crew chief and help him push the car for qualifying races.
Morgan pitted his own car. HIS OWN CAR as little as ten years ago.
But as the years go by Morgan built himself back up. He still at a disadvantage financially, but that doesn't stop him from competing.
And the fans STILL love him.
Do not let what you can't do interfere with what you can do
Morgan lost it all and came back. And so can you.

Mumbai, April 7 -- After 28 years in the film industry, action hero Sunny Deol will make his television debut with Zee TV's stunt-based show, Jaanbaaz.
He will be a celebrity judge on the show along with stunt director Alan Amin. Jaanbaaz might replace the reality show Dance India Dance that will soon come to an end. Sunny, who will shoot 33 episodes, says, "Jaanbaaz is about daring stuntmen who put their life at risk for their profession. Stuntmen are like soldiers."
As of now the actor and the channel have approved the concept and the scripting of the show is on but the contract still needs to be signed. "We are working out the formalities and my dates for the show," adds Sunny.
Commenting on his injuries, Sunny says his back problems started post Gadar (2001) in which he had lifted a hand-pump.
He says, "I have had four surgeries since then. My back problem started due to all the stunts I did during those initial years in films. Thankfully, I have healed now. Those days we didn't have ample safety equipments so we would just jump. In Betaab, I jumped from one roof to another and then to the ground and in another scene, I ran and jumped onto a jeep that was coming at the speed of 40 kms an hour. There were so many accidents. More than the pain, I was scared of dad (Dharmendra) coming to know about my injuries."
Sunny promises that Jaanbaaz will be thrilling and emotional. "My only advice to the participants is to be careful while performing stunts."

Bengals' Henry had previous brain injury
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry suffered from a chronic brain injury that may have influenced his mental state and behavior before he died last winter, West Virginia University researchers said Monday. The doctors had done a microscopic tissue analysis of Henry's brain that showed he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Neurosurgeon Julian Bailes and California medical examiner Bennet Omalu, co-directors of the Brain Injury Research Institute at WVU, announced their findings alongside Henry's mother, Carolyn Henry Glaspy, who called it a "big shock" because she knew nothing about her 26-year-old son's underlying condition or the disease. Henry died in December, a day after he came out of the back of a pickup truck his fiancee was driving near their home in Charlotte, N.C. It's unclear whether Henry jumped or fell. Toxicology tests found no alcohol in his system, and an autopsy concluded he died of numerous head injuries, including a fractured skull and brain hemorrhaging.But Bailes, team doctor for the Mountaineers and a former Pittsburgh Steelers physician, said it's easy to distinguish those acute traumatic injuries from the underlying condition he and Omalu found when staining tiny slices of Henry's brain. Bailes and fellow researchers believe chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, is caused by multiple head impacts, regardless of whether those blows result in a concussion diagnosis. A number of studies, including one commissioned by the NFL, have found that retired professional football players may have a higher rate than normal of Alzheimer's disease. VICK INTERVIEWED: Michael Vick was interviewed by a detective Monday about a shooting that took place outside a nightclub where he had celebrated his birthday, a Virginia Beach (Va.) Police spokesman said. The spokesman, Adam Bernstein, said the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback is not a suspect, and no arrest has been made in Friday's early morning shooting. One man was wounded. Police have not identified the shooting victim, but several news outlets identified him as Quanis Phillips, one of the co-defendants in the dogfighting case that landed Vick in federal prison for 18 months.

Natural gas
Natural gas is one of the top natural resources in the global energy and environmental transition. Current deposits will help meet the growing energy needs of emerging countries. With low carbon emissions, natural gas is an essential alternative to oil and coal. In addition, it can be paired with renewable energies to develop innovative and eco-efficient solutions. These advantages ensure a promising future for natural gas and ENGIE's Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) offer.
The Vergne modulating boiler
The Vergne boiler is the first condensing boiler offering precise, real-time burner modulation within a very low power range (from 0.8 to 12 kW) to meet domestic energy needs while maintaining optimal output. This innovative boiler was developed by CRIGEN in partnership with Vergne. It was marketed in France in February 2012.
GAYA project: an innovative biomethane sector
The GAYA project develops an innovative sector for producing biomethane by gasification. Coordinated by the ENGIE Research & Innovation Division, the GAYA project brings together 11 industrial partners and seven university partners. It aims to create an industrial sector for 2nd-generation biomethane offering high technological, economic and industrial performance. Second-generation biomethane is produced by the gasification of lignocellulosic biomass (wood, agricultural residues, etc.) using a thermochemical process that converts all of the organic material into energy. The Saint-Fons site in Lyon will house the GAYA project's research and demonstration platform.
LNG Bunkering Vessel
A fueling vessel for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG): In January 2015, European Union environmental directives will significantly reduce the maximum sulfur content for maritime fuels used in the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and the English Channel. For shippers, LNG will become the most economical and environmentally friendly energy available. To meet this need, ENGIE developed a fueling vessel for LNG. With a capacity of 5,000 m3, it was designed to "bunker" all types of boats (ferries, container ships, etc.) that use LNG. Research & Innovation provided expertise on innovative solutions for LNG delivery, dimensioning ship cryogenic chains and the behavior of LNG during bunkering operations. It is now working to establish specifications for the transfer system and the terms of the selection process for suppliers.

David Hume Kennerly has been photographing history for four decades. Contributing Editor for Newsweek Magazine, Kennerly continues to travel the globe to produce insightful images of important historic events.
Kennerly won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography in 1972 for his remarkable photographs of the Vietnam war. After the war, Kennerly returned to the United States for Time Magazine, and in mid-1973 and threw himself into the domestic battles then raging in Washington. After Richard Nixon resigned, Kennerly was on the South Lawn of the White House as the soon-to-be ex-President departed. His historic photo of Nixon's wave goodbye, taken when Kennerly was just 27 years old, is one of the dozens of his images that have helped define American photojournalism.
Nixon's successor, President Gerald Ford, asked Kennerly to serve as his White House Photographer, a role that resulted in some of the most personal political pictures of his career. During Ford's tenure, Kennerly photographed world leaders including Emperor Hirohito in Japan, Leonid Brezhnev in the USSR, Franco in Spain, Ceausescu in Romania, Marcos in the Philippines, Tito in Yugoslavia, Suharto in Indonesia, Deng Xiao Ping in the People's Republic of China, and Queen Elizabeth during the bicentennial celebration at the White House.
In the year 2000, Kennerly traveled more than 250,000 miles to 38 states and seven countries for his fourth book, Photo du Jour: A Picture-A-Day Journey through the First Year of the New Millennium, published in October 2002 by the University of Texas Press. A companion exhibition of fine art prints from Photo du Jour appeared at the Smithsonian Institution's Arts and Industries Building from October 1, 2002-December 29, 2002, and at the Houston Center for Photography April 30 - June 12, 2004.

(Science: enzyme) enzyme catalysing cleavage of neuraminic acid residues from oligosaccharide chains of glycoproteins and glycolipids.
Since these residues are usually terminal, neuraminidases are generally exo enzymes, although an endoneuraminidase is known.
For use as a laboratory reagent, common sources are from bacteria such as vibrio or clostridium. A neuraminidase is one of the transmembrane proteins of the envelope of influenza virus.
