Although the Stock Market had crashed recently, it was too early for most people to predict that the Great Depression was about to get underway. For 39-year-old spinster schoolteacher Hildegarde Withers, it's business as usual. And part of her usual business is taking her class for an outing to the aquarium to see the penguins. Instead, she spots the floating corpse of Wall Street broker Gerald Lester and quickly realizes that Inspector Oscar Piper of NYPD Homicide isn't up to solving this tricky case, especially when he appears ready to accept he confession of an obviously innocent young man. Red herrings, not penguins, abound.
Miss Withers has a number of questions that need answers before she's willing to reel in the real murderer: Who did Lester's wife meet behind the stairs? What did the pickpocket see? Who was the man in the fedora? And just how did Miss Withers' hatpin turn into a lethal weapon?
First published in 1931, The Penguin Pool Murder was as big a hit with book lovers as it was with moviegoers when it was filmed the following year starring Edna May Oliver as Miss Withers and James Gleason as Inspector Piper.

Love listening to what the Americans call 'Cozy' mysteries. Which have no 'graphic blood, guts and gore.' I listen to other genres too.
"Classic 'Golden Age' murder mystery"
I'm a very slow reader, so listening makes the task of enjoying a book a lot quicker than I would have by reading.
The characters melded well to the plot set within an unusual place....New York City Aquarium.
She brings the book alive with the different voices used.
If you like classic 'Golden Age' crime/mystery novels, Stuart Palmer's Miss Hildegarde Withers books are not to be missed.
"Absolutely delightful!"
Nothing makes me happier than discovering a vintage mystery series I didn't know about, unless it is also discovering that it turns out to be a great read! I gather that this book, starring Miss Withers and Inspector Piper was made into a movie at the time, and I hope to find it.
Miss Withers, a teacher who has brought her young class to the aquarium, is there when a murder occurs at the penguin pool. She demonstrates very quickly that she has a good, grounded sort of common sense, and is able to point out things to the inspector to keep him on track during the inspection. She tends to be immediately accepted by the inspector, who realizes that as she offers good ideas and takes conversations down in shorthand, she is indispensable to solving the crime. Even though she is not officially part of the case, one quickly realizes that the author intends her to be the brains behind the process of solving it.
This book is written with a bit of comedic touch, but I doubt the author could have possibly anticipated how much more enjoyable it would become 80 years later to a completely different audience. In these days, we have authors who create female sleuths, trying to insert them into this same time period (just around the timeout of the stock market crash), and they are are fun to read. But this is the "Real McCoy," a woman who was developed into a clever and observant detective (of sorts), even though she is not really acknowledged that way around 1930 or so.
I love this book, and cannot wait for the next ones. The narrator does a very good job, getting the accents just right! This has been a total treat! Thanks, Audible, for bringing this one on board!
"Bad narrator"
I read most of the Miss Withers books many years ago and enjoyed the 1930's movie series starring Edna Mae Oliver as Miss Withers. I was pleased to learn that the books were going to be released by audible.com.
I'm sorry to say that my enjoyment of this book was greatly marred by the narrator. I would recommend anyone considering the purchase of this book to listen to the sample.
"Good start to a Vintage Series"
It's always nice to find a good "new" old mystery series that's been around for decades but is completely unknown to me. That's one of the things I love about Audible. Reading other listeners' reviews sometimes gives me great leads to excellent books I've never heard of before. That's how I came across the Hidlegarde Withers series. So far, I've only read the first book, "The Penguin Pool Mystery," and I would classify it as good but not yet excellent. I expect that there will be improvement in future books, and I enjoyed this first one enough to want to read more.
Copyrighted in 1931, Penguin Pool introduces us to Miss Hildegarde Withers, 39-year-old "spinster" school teacher, who has brought her third grade class to the NYC Aquarium on a field trip, and has the misfortune to spot a dead body in the penguin tank. We also meet Inspector Piper, Inspector of Detectives in the NYPD, who is in charge of the investigation of the death. Not surprisingly, Miss Withers has many observations to contribute to the investigation, and after one of her suggestions helps to avoid a mistake in the investigation, Piper begins to welcome her participation. The story is ingeniously plotted, and the setting of early-depression New York City is well done.
I would have given a higer rating if the narrator had been able to make the 30's-era dialog more believable. This was distracting and reduced the overall enjoyment of the book. Still, it was enjoyable, and I will be listening to more of this series.
"I Loved it!"
I was delighted with my first encounter with Stuart Palmer's Hildeguard Withers. It was s fun trip though a contemporary 1931 mystery ... so the listener has to remember that this is NOT a historical mystery, it is a mystery WRITTEN in the early 1930s. It is a product of its time and culture ... and as such, it was a little progressive when it was written, even though it is a little behind by our standards. Julie McKay was a little rough in places, but did a good job over all.
"Narrator Really Brings the Whole Story Down..."
The story (albeit a bit jarring in its racial bias and sexism) is a very well written old-school mystery; written, not set, in the 1930's. Unfortunately, this great story was incredibly let-down by the narrator. I mean, she is truly distracting and laughably bad. The male voices are the worst--with accents that make one cringe, but the pacing for all the voices is strange--I noticed that some people sped her up to 2x, I hadn't thought of that. Her pronunciation of some words is ridiculous... "sizzle" instead of "sisal", "dash-ed" instead of "dashed". Overall, I'm seriously trying to decide if I even want to finish the book, I spend so much time talking out-loud in the car mocking the narrator, that I've pretty much lost all perspective on this book. I seriously will avoid all books read by Julie McKay in the future. How she even got this job is a mystery to me! I honestly can't believe the book's producer listened to this performance and thought "Yup, sounds great to me!" and published it! So, while I really like this book, I'm done with this series because the same narrator is used for all the books.
No. I really cannot listen to another book read by this person.
"Good story, good characters"
Good story, good development. The ending was somewhat predictable but good nevertheless. It took me a bit to get used to the narrator. Originally found her to be a little annoying but soon got used to her and was okay. She doesn't do gender voices particulary well but well enough. Kept me guessing until the end, I thought I had it figured out earlier, and in fact I had, but then was led away again thinking it was someone else.
"Engrossing despite distractingly poor narration"
The story and characters offer intrigue but the narration interferes with character development. The interpretation of several of the voices of the characters is a misinterpretation by the narrator, so it is a struggle for the listener to overcome that in following the development of the story. Male characters sometimes sound like females and females are interpreted unlike the characters described by the written word. The lead police detective is at first portrayed as a bully but later is read as a thoughtful and sensitive man, an inconsistency. The school teacher is the lead character in the mystery and regrettably refers to one of her students by ethnicity, most probably a reflection of the 1930's period of history.
"Fun story with great narration! "
Ms. McKay did a fantastic job as narrator for this book! Her characters were full of personality and very easily identifiable individuals. I enjoyed the ending most - it's very Agatha Christie meets Miss Phryne Fisher!
"Ms. Withers is no Ms. Marple"
The story was at best mildly engaging. The murder was fairly obvious from the start, and the only mystery was the backstory they had to construct to give him motive. The attempt to make the book a period piece was clumsy, and the use of slang from the thirties was awkward and no context.
Aside from a barely plausible yarn, the performance was poor. I stopped listening midway through because it didn't hold my attention. I actually listened to a wonderful Walter Mosely mystery, then went back to finish this book because I still had some miles to drive.
"Enjoyed in spite of the narration"
The story is an enjoyable blast from the past. There's no great mystery to the mystery, but that didn't stunt my enjoyment at all. The narrator however, seemed not only to struggle with the vernacular of the day, but the characterizations tended to be on the annoying side. Also, weird spacing and emphasis.
Not at all suspenseful. But still a fun, vintage tale.

Dr. Joy Bliss writes at Maggie's Farm that
PTSD is not so much a disease or "disorder," but a normal variant in response to disturbing events. The mental health field, these days, is pathologizing everything and everybody.
"Qualifying" for disability is a terrible idea. Getting into life is the best plan, whether one wants to or not. No matter what happens, it's best to buck up and get on with it.
There is no treatment, no cure, for being human. There is no cure for PTSD complaints other than the old-fashioned "tincture of time." Entrepreneurs out there sell cures which are snake oil. All we Psychiatrists really have to offer these people is care, emotional support, help with substance abuse, and, if they wish, emotion-blunting medicines. There is no magic cure for life's horrors and misfortunes other than alcohol and drugs, and they tend to make things worse in the end.

Three people have been arrested after a two-month long undercover investigation resulted in the seizure of 24 pounds of khat in Cambridge on June 27, according to the Isanti County Sheriff's Office.
Tiffany Marie Ford, 29, of Cambridge, was charged with four felony counts of 5th degree drug possession-subsequent conviction; Ahmed Ali Ahmed, 42, of Savage, was charged with felony, 4th degree drug sale; and Kelly Jo Jones, 49, of Cambridge, was charged with misdemeanor trespass.
Khat—pronounced "cot"—is a stimulant drug derived from a shrub that is native to East Africa and southern Arabia, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The khat plant itself is not scheduled under the Controlled Substances Act; however, because one of its chemical constituents, cathinone, is a Schedule I drug, the federal government considers its use illegal.
According to the criminal complaint, on June 27, a narcotics investigator with the East Central Drug and Violent Offender Task Force was contacted by an agent with the Anti-Terrorism Contraband Enforcement Team U.S. Customs and Border Protection out of the Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport. The investigator was informed that a package containing 24 pounds of khat was en route from England to Memphis, Tenn., to Minneapolis and then to a residence in Cambridge.
The investigator was advised that since May 1, khat had been sent to the address under several assumed names and false businesses.
The investigator was informed that the package was confirmed to contain khat. A controlled delivery was arranged as the investigator dressed as a courier to deliver the package and was greeted by Jones outside her residence.
Jones told the investigators that Ahmed was in Cambridge to pick up the package of khat. She said she would call him when the package would arrive and he would pay her $150 for each delivery.
Ford, who is Jones' daughter, was also in the residence when the search warrant was executed. Methamphetamine, as well as drug-related items and paraphernalia, were found in Jones' and Ford's bedroom.
According to a press release by the Isanti County Sheriff's Department, shipping records were tracked showing that 380 pounds of suspected khat had been delivered to the Cambridge address since May 1.
Ford appeared before Judge P. Hunter Anderson in 10th Judicial District Court in Cambridge on June 29 where bail was set at $35,000 without conditions or $20,000 with conditions and next court appearance for July 5.
Ahemd also appeared before Judge Anderson June 29 where bail was set at $10,000 without conditions or $1,000 with conditions and next court appearance for Aug. 9.
Jones was issued a citation for her misdemeanor charge.
The East Central Drug/Violent Offender Task Force was assisted in the investigation by agents with the Anti-Terrorism Contraband Enforcement Division through U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Minneapolis Airport Police Department. The Isanti County Sheriff's Office and Cambridge Police Department also assisted on the search warrant

Reviews for Frozen Peppermint Delight
Average Rating
"This was fantastic!"
"This is my most requested recipe. We love it."
"This was very simple to make. One thing--make sure the entire container of ice cream or Cool Whip is thoroughly thawed, or else there will be lumps when you try to spread it, and the layer below will be torn up. I used mint chocolate chip ice cream for a grasshopper-style dessert. Also I used chocolate graham crackers per the earlier comment. They worked well but were rather crumbly. I think the cream filling would help the crust hold together better."
"easy and delicious! Family members have also made it."
"
I didn't actually make this recipe, but make one very similar. I just want to add the idea of using chocolate graham crackers rather than the filled cookies to not add the really bad for you filling. I know, they're yummy, but...
"

Burkard to Use Partnership Grant for Studies of Aggressive Breast Cancer
Madison, Wisconsin - A University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center researcher, using a two-year grant from the Wisconsin Partnership Program, will study an approach to targeted treatment for women with the most aggressive forms of breast cancer.
The Wisconsin Partnership Program has awarded a $100,000 grant to Dr. Mark Burkard, assistant professor of medicine in hematology and oncology at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH).
Burkard is studying ways to improve treatment of "polyploidy" breast cancers - those in which cancer cells have extra chromosomes. At least 20 percent of breast cancers have such extra chromosomes and the prognosis for such cancers is poor.
Burkard says many current medicines work for fewer than half of breast cancer patients, but physicians are unable to determine which patients will benefit. The goal of the research is to personalize treatment based on whether a tumor has extra DNA and chromosomes.
Burkard's research group recently discovered a chemical that selectively destroys human cells that have double chromosomes. The group hopes to develop a chemical into a breast cancer treatment that can be reserved for cancers with extra chromosomes.
The study will also count chromosomes in breast tumor tissue collected at UW Hospital and Clinics over the past decade. Burkard will test if extra chromosomes are common in the 15 percent of breast cancers that are classified as "triple negative" and if they correlate with worse prognosis. Triple negative breast cancers are not fueled by estrogen, progesterone or the HER2 protein and do not respond to many standard cancer drugs.
Burkard's proposal is one of three funded by the Wisconsin Partnership Program through the New Investigator Program. The grants from the Partnership Education and Research Committee (PERC) fund innovative projects at the School of Medicine and Public Health that are aimed at improving health in Wisconsin.
Since 2004, the Partnership Education and Research Committee has awarded more than $64 million in grants for projects that improve the health and well-being of Wisconsin residents.

I must take a moment to complement NCI on the completeness and clarity of the NCI Charrette System DVD. The spirit of what is possible for Dennis Port is very clearly captured by the detail of dereliction faced in Florida and the spirit and tone you set. I am very proud to be able to provide my community with such a well thought out pre-charrette warm up tool.

People say that you can't really understand what a charrette does unless

CHUCK HAGEL NOMINATION: Now that President Obama has "picked a fight with the Republicans" and some Democrats, I might add, by nominating Chuck Hagel as his pick for Defense Secretary, it's about to get ugly. The critics are going to pull a Susan Rice on Chuck Hagel, who has ticked off the gay community, pro-Israel groups and some lawmakers who were upset over his position on Iran and a number of other issues. During an interview with the Lincoln Journal Star, Chuck Hagel said an accurate assessment of his record will demonstrate "unequivocal, total support for Israel" and endorsement of tough international economic sanctions against Iran. He also said the negative assessment of his record by his critics have taken on a "life of its own." The reality is that if you don't ascribe to the view that the one way to help Israel is a strike on Iran, you shouldn't be type-cast as anti-Israel.
The right wing tag-team of Sen. John McCain and Mitch McConnell are slamming Chuck Hagel now. Um, laughable considering John McCain praised him in 2006 saying "I'd be honored to have Chuck with me in any capacity….he'd make a great Secretary of State. Then there's Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell who praised Hagel in 2007, as "one of the premier foreign policy voices…." In 2008, he also praised Hagel as a "leading voice in foreign affairs." John McCain is just a bitter man, who is still chewing on sour grapes over the shellacking he took from then-Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Unless something has changed, President Obama can pick his own team, unless a candidate has done something egregious.
The Emergency Committee for Israel sent out the following press release, even reserving the domain, ChuckHagel.com:
The Emergency Committee for Israel will vigorously oppose the confirmation of Chuck Hagel as our next secretary of defense. We have examined Mr. Hagel's public record, which is marked by an animus toward our friend Israel and a surprising solicitude for our enemies Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah. We believe Mr. Hagel's record–both his votes and his statements–place him well outside the American mainstream. We look forward to participating in a full and fair debate on Mr. Hagel's record. We trust, at the conclusion of that debate, the United States Senate will withhold its consent to Mr. Hagel's selection as Secretary of Defense.
For a full accounting of Chuck Hagel's record on key foreign policy issues, please visit www.ChuckHagel.com
The comment Chuck Hagel made in 2006 that the right wing and some pro-Israeli groups consider anti-Israel:
"I am a United States senator. I am not an Israeli senator. I'm a United States senator, I support Israel, but my first interest is I take an oath of office to the Constitution of the United States."
Let's not forget that Chuck Hagel voted for $38 billion to go to Israel over his senate career, so this isn't someone who is anti-Israel. Chuck Hagel has the scars and "shrapnel" on his body to prove that he would be a good Defense Secretary. He is a Vietnam war veteran with two Purple Hearts, but that means nothing to those who aim to Susan Rice his nomination. The White House has reached out to the Jewish community to address their concerns with Hagel. I guess we will see everything thrown at Chuck Hagel, as they tried to discredit Susan Rice.
Several conservative Jewish organizations have been strongly opposed. Their concerns are multifold. Hagel has previously referred to the "Jewish lobby" (perceived to be a derisive reference) and he has opposed unilateral sanctions against Iran regarding its nuclear program. Iran is one of Israel's most important national security concerns. Hagel is criticized for a past op-ed in which he stated that Israel needs to show a commitment to peace. Also, he has indicated he might support negotiations with Hamas although he supported a bill that said contact should be avoided until it recognized Israel's sovereignty. Source
Personally, I think the outrage from the Jewish groups is overblown. As he said, his voting record where Israel is concerned is impeccable. "I didn't sign on to certain resolutions and letters because they were counter-productive and didn't solve a problem," the Lincoln Journal Star reports. Chuck Hagel isn't so out of the mainstream as they are trying to paint him as. Rather than cherry-pick one or two things, why not judge him on the entirety of his career? We have all made comments decades ago that we would probably walk back if given the chance or have evolved from previous positions. One thing about this man is that he says what he means and means what he says. So, if this is the in-your-face nominee from President Obama mocking Republicans, then so be it. We lived through Donald Rumsfeld. The bigger question for me is why President Obama is surrounding himself with a cabinet that lacks diversity — a mostly all-white group of men. Once all the noise dies down, I predict that Chuck Hagel will be confirmed as our next Defense Secretary. So, I guess I should end by saying, "get ready for a Hagel Pentagon."

Arctic marine mammals: The new canaries?
Biomagnification and pathways of contaminants in Arctic food websIt's a fish-eats-krill, seal-eats-fish, bear-eats-seal world and a University of Alaska scientist hot on the trails of contaminants in Arctic food webs will present his and colleagues' research on apex predators and biomagnification at the American Academy for the Advancement of Science annual meeting February 18 in St. Louis, Missouri.
O'Hara and colleagues investigated three key Arctic apex predators: polar bears, arctic fox and coastal human residents and the increase in concentration of pollutants such as mercury, cadmium, and selected chlorinated pesticides – a process called biomagnification - from one part of a food web to another in these predators and their prey.
"Understanding contaminants in marine mammals is critically important to addressing oceans and human health in Alaska," said O'Hara, who will be presenting a seminar titled, "Biomagnification and pathways of contaminants in Arctic food webs" and will participate in the press briefing, "Marine mammals: The new canaries?" both on February 18 at the AAAS meeting.
Heavy metals and chlorinated pesticides may alter normal biochemical and physiological functions such as reproduction and development in animals. They may also pose a risk to human health through food consumption. The common assumption was that the higher up the food chain or trophic level an animal ate the more contaminants it accumulated in its tissues. Researchers are finding this is not always the case. O'Hara and colleagues are investigating how marine mammals' ability to biotransform or chemically alter substances affects biomagnification using stable isotope signatures and bioassays.
Predators such as bowhead whales and walrus which feed at low trophic or nutritional levels consume invertebrates such as krill and clams which typically have reduced exposure to mercury and many chlorinated pesticides. Yet, these same predators have increased exposure to cadmium, which accumulates in the liver and kidney. Apex predators such as polar bears, arctic fox, and killer whales feed at higher trophic levels - consuming fish and marine mammals - and typically have increased mercury and chlorinated pesticide exposure, but lower levels of cadmium.
Contaminant deposition in animal tissues is strongly dependent on factors such as diet, age, sex, body condition, and health and cross-species and cross-tissue comparisons must take this into account.
AAAS press briefing "Marine Mammals: The New Canaries?" will be in room 274, second floor, America's Center, Saturday, February 18, 9 a.m. Central Time.

The 10 Types of Frat Bros You'll Meet (and Possibly Become) in College
1. The "As Seen On TV" Frat Bro
Might as well get this one out of the way first. The "ASOTV" brother is loud, obnoxious and drunk often. He'll call you a "Geed" and then kick you out of his house because you complained the keg line was too long. Different from movies, a High School Senior/First Week Freshman/Hot Chick doesn't put him in his place, and he goes on to be a douche for the rest of his life. Fortunately this isn't a very prevalent fraternity bro, as they usually fail out after only a few semesters.
2. The Prankster
The prankster frat bro is revered throughout his respective house by the just initiated and rushes. Once you've lived with him for a semester or two, finding the fake bug in your protein powder stops being funny. The reaction of the brother whose shampoo was spiked with Nair on the contrary, always a good laugh. If you're pledging, he's the guy who'll come up with the most ridiculous, least painful pledge event. He's found in just about every house.
3. The Brother Who's Only There for the Connections/The Assh*le
No question, having connections is a great perk of being in a Fraternity, but this kid joined exclusively for that, and his lack of dedication to his brothers make him an assh*le. He'll begrudgingly show up to mixers and other big parties, but refuses to come over and drink any other time because he has to protect his image. Speaking of his image, during philanthropy events, he'll be the guy who shows up looking dapper trying to impress everyone who's anyone trying to get ahead in life, while every other brother is suffering from the night before (philanthropy events seem to ALWAYS fall on Saturday mornings, you'd think they would have learned by now). You can identify by his trademark phrase "It's a Fraternity, not a Frat." With the economy the way it's been, more and more of these types are sprouting up.
4. The Brother Who's Only There To Get Drunk….All The Time
This kid is great for fraternity morale. Girlfriend just break up with you? Fail a big test? Fired from your job? If you answered yes to any of those questions, he'll take you out to a bar and get you too drunk to remember your problems. But not for you, for him, because drinking alone is depressing, and for alcoholics, and as long as you're there, it's a brotherhood event! He'll often cross the line when he shows up to the house at 9 am on a Sunday for a Philanthropy event benefitting old people or puppies, completely hammered and then proceeds to throw up on said old people or puppies. Having to explain that he's having a bad reaction to his medication is a science you have perfected. Most of these kids get rushed and offered a bid because of his propensity to be drunk, but he usually doesn't make it through pledging. Later on in life he becomes the drunk uncle.
5. The Ghost Brother
This is the Brother that shows up once or twice a semester, he pays his dues and might attend a party or two, but other than that, he's absent. He's never seen at intramural games, philanthropy or fundraising events. When people outside the Fraternity that ask where he is, if they even know he exists, the best excuse you can make for him is he's either under the weather or his phone is off. His commitment died after pledging, and these brothers are all around. You might have one in your house and not even know it.
6. The Fighter
If you're in the most hated house on campus, this kid probably rushed until he was given a bid. The only reason he accepted the bid, and endured pledging was to fight. He'll fight rival fraternities, maybe even rival schools, but he's always fighting. As brothers you're obligated to have his back. At first the comradery The Fighter creates is pretty cool, and the fights are good bonding experiences. However, after you guys have been thrown out of and banned from the 3rd or 4th bar downtown or even worse, kicked off campus, his antics become extremely frustrating and you wish HE were the Ghost Brother.
7. The Try Hard
The way he acts around the brothers, you would think he was still a pledge. His most obnoxious quality is his innate need to be liked, which is ironic, because if he didn't possess that quality, everyone would like him. He is every pledges favorite brother because he'll give them a heads up before a particularly shitty night. He can be found in just about every house.
8. The Overenthusiastic Brother
When it comes to this brother, it's hard to dislike him, at first. He shows an abundance of Fraternity spirit, always wearing letters and hanging out with the bros. He bought his dog a collar with your letters on it. However, the overenthusiastic brother becomes a bit of a nuisance when you're doing things not related to Greek life, because he'll always try to incorporate the Fraternity into everything, and that can get really annoying, really quickly. These traits are common in just initiates and usually fade through their first semester, but there are always a few who never change.
9. The Legacy
For those who don't know, legacies ALWAYS get a bid, it's a rule. Most of the time the legacy will be a pretty cool kid, similar to the stories we heard about his pops from back in the day. However, every so often you get a legacy that just plain sucks. He'll go to the rush events because his father made him, and he'll only sign the bid for the same purpose. He couldn't give less of a sh*t about being there, but you still have to show him the rush of his life. Fortunately these kids are only guaranteed bids, but it's not a guarantee he'll cross into the Fraternity. The sh*tty Legacy is a rare case, and you may only encounter him once during your time in school.
10. The Regular Frat Dude
Laidback, decent individuals who happen to be in a Greek Organization. They do exist. You'll see them at philanthropy events, and parties and even in class. The more of these guys a house has, the better. Some houses have a few, others are almost made up entirely of them.
There a no doubt more than 10 types, but these are the 10 most common. List more in the comments.

Pink Performs on 'TODAY,' Chats About Insecurities + Miley Cyrus Haircut
Pink braved the rain in New York City this morning to perform 'Blow Me (One Last Kiss)' and 'So What' for her fans on the 'TODAY' show. She made the performance interactive, greeting fans and signing autographs while she sang two of her biggest hits.
Between songs, Pink provided a bit of insight into her insecurities when Ryan Seacrest asked her how the recording process was different for her latest album, 'The Truth About Love,' which hits stores today (Sept. 18): "It was a lot more sober, but it was just the same. I go into every record feeling like, 'Wow, I hope I can still sing. I hope I have something to say. What if I don't? I might actually be useless.' And then, 40 songs later, I'm wrapping up and hoping that someone else is moved by it."
Matt Lauer jokingly asked Pink if she was upset that Miley Cyrus stole her hairstyle. "I think she's beautiful," Pink replied. "I think she rocks it way harder than I do."
Pink also reflected on how life with her new baby girl has changed her. "I'm still crazy! But it's a goofy side of crazy. I'm very happy. It's been the most beautiful couple years."

Cassie Lyon was a musician by trade and a citizen by calling.
She served as the organist and choir director at Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church and assistant music director at Third Presbyterian Church in Shadyside, but Mrs. Lyon was not limited to those important roles for her community. Her generosity spread as a volunteer and devoted board member of the Program for Female Offenders.
Mrs. Lyon of Longwood at Oakmont in Plum died Wednesday from a sudden illness. She was 81.
Born in Pittsburgh, Mrs. Lyon studied at what is now Chatham University, earning a master of fine arts in music. She would become the first full-time organist and choir director at Fox Chapel Presbyterian. While working at Third Presbyterian, she met her longtime friend Joanne Rogers, wife of the late WQED personality Fred Rogers, who joined the choir.
"She was one of the brightest people I ever knew. She was bright, and she had a wonderful energy," said Mrs. Rogers.
Their friendship expanded beyond the church to the Program for Female Offenders. Mrs. Lyon was president of the board and an active volunteer at the organization serving incarcerated people, and recruited Mrs. Rogers to the board, too.
Mrs. Lyon received the Outstanding Citizen award from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and WTAE-TV in 1993 for her work with the program.
"This was a major, major part of her life, and she went over and beyond the call of duty, in getting as involved as she legally could with people there. She was wonderful, she gave herself, she gave so much of herself to that," said Mrs. Rogers.
A Post-Gazette article on the award described that level of commitment. "She visited women at the jail, heard their screams and wails in the closet-size cells, saw that their showers are on public view, asked them what they needed and, often, supplied it: fresh fruit, Kleenex, stamps and stationery or just the patience for listening," wrote Diana Nelson Jones.
Then-Allegheny County Commissioner Tom Foerster said in the article, "She's a dynamo. When the Post-Gazette honors her, you are honoring someone who in my estimation is great."
Mrs. Rogers said that Mrs. Lyon also played organ on "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood" on one occasion "to demonstrate the organ, because she was such a good organist."
On another occasion, when the Lyons put their house up for sale and it sold quickly, they needed a place to stay. The Rogers welcomed them to their home, where the two families lived for a while -- Mrs. Rogers didn't remember exactly how long.
Between the two families, they had four boys around the same age. "It was a wonderful period of time, just fabulous," said Mrs. Rogers.
They took turns with the cooking, and when Mrs. Rogers' father passed away in Florida, "Cassie just stepped to the fore. She said, 'Go, just go right now. Things are going to be fine here.' Well, of course, I knew they would."
She is survived by her husband, Richard; two sons, Stuart of Chicago and Richard Jr. of Pittsburgh; and two grandchildren. A memorial service will take place Saturday at 2 p.m. in the chapel of Longwood at Oakmont, 500 Route 909, Plum.

To The Editor:
As far as eggs, hens and cages go, Missouri has got it wrong.
California passed a law that will not permit egg-laying hens be held in cramped cages that barely allow them to move. That law goes into effect in 2015, and it requires all egg farms in that state to provide hens with space to stand up, lie down, turn around freely and fully extend their limbs.
A complementary bill passed in 2010 requires all out-of-state farmers to comply with these regulations if they want to sell eggs in California.
Guess what? Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster asked a U.S. District Court in California to declare the law invalid and to stop it from being enforced because, he says, "it violates the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution." Californians buy about a third of all eggs produced in Missouri.
In the lawsuit it states: "California is attempting to regulate agricultural practices beyond its own borders."
It appears to me that Missouri attorney general is meddling in another state's affairs. Missouri egg producers should stop mistreating hens if they want to sell eggs in California. These farmers have a choice. In fact, I believe Missouri should pass similar laws regulating egg production.
Missouri should drop its lawsuit, which will not go anywhere, and concentrate on building roomier henhouses.

FC Dallas Home Grown goalkeeper Richard Sanchez backstopped Mexico to a 2-1 victory in a dramatic match against Congo that saw the host nation become the first team to earn a spot in the round of 16 at the U-17 World Cup.
Mexico scored the first goal of the match late in the first half to take the 1-0 advantage into the locker room. Right back Francisco Flores got the assist on the goal when he sent a dangerous cross through the Congolese penalty area. Midfielder Jorge Espericueta collected the ball at the back post and finished the play calmly to give the home team the lead.
The African side dug themselves a little deeper in the second half when defender Cisse Bassoumba was issued a straight red card for a takedown on Mexican forward Arturo Gonzalez. The shorthanded Congo side would battle back to tie the game though, when lone remaining forward Bel Epako took advantage of a defensive miscue and scored from the top of the area in the 73rd minute.
But Congo increased the Mexican advantage four minutes later when substitute Gildas Mpassi was sent off after receiving back to back yellows just six minutes after having entered the game in the 71st.
The home side would make use of the two-man advantage on a play that started with the distribution of FCD home grown goalkeeper Richard Sanchez in the 85th minute. Sanchez delivered a long kick that found Giovani Casillas breaking into the left side of the Congolese penalty area. Casillas sent a low cross to his right that was finished by a sliding Julio Gomez to secure the win five minutes from full time.
The win guarantees Mexico a spot in the round of 16 next week.
In the meantime, Mexico will round out the group stage on Friday, June 24 when they face the Netherlands in Monterrey. The game can be seen live on ESPN3.com at 6 p.m. CT.

Frank R. Hamilton, Jr. was born in Springfield, Kentucky on July 30, 1936 to Frank and Louise Hamilton. He has two younger sisters, Margaret Mary DeIulio and Sarah Sagun. Frank attended Saint Dominic Elementary and graduated from Springfield High School in 1954. He began his Civil Engineering education at the University of Kentucky on a Highway Scholarship in the fall of 1954 and graduated in 1958. During the summer he worked for the Kentucky Department of Highways, starting as an Axeman and finishing as an Assistant Resident Engineer. He was a member of Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity.
Mr. Hamilton went to graduate school in 1959 but left to work with Nally & Gibson, where Frank Hamilton, Sr. was a partner. He assisted in erecting a new crushing plant in Georgetown, Kentucky. Mr. Hamilton oversaw many changes and growth at Nally & Gibson which also included the Ready Mix Concrete business from 1955-1994. Nally & Gibson's growth expanded starting in 1961 when work began on I-75. During the next four years they provided stone for 25 miles of interstate in Fayette, Grant and Scott counties. The major impact for Scott County and Nally & Gibson came in December 1985 when Toyota officials made their decision to build the first U.S. car manufacturing plant in Georgetown. With this announcement, Frank erected the second crushing plant in the quarry which tripled the crushing capacity.
In 1989, Hinkle Contracting, East Kentucky Paving, and Nally & Gibson formed Hamilton, Hinkle and Ruth Paving Contractors which purchased the asphalt plant located in Nally & Gibson Quarry from the Charlton Company of Louisville. From 1989 through 1991, they started the busy work of expanding I-75 to 6 lanes and the first phase of the new Georgetown Bypass. This successful business continues to grow with Scott County and surrounding areas, and Toyota continues to be a major customer. In 2005 the company's name was change to Hamilton-Hinkle Paving after the death of partner Jack Ruth. In 2005 Hamilton-Hinkle Paving merged with Nally & Gibson, Georgetown LLC. In 2000, Hinkle Contracting Corporation purchased one half interest in Nally & Gibson, Georgetown, from Frank Hamilton and his son Richard. Nally & Gibson, Georgetown celebrated their 50th Company Anniversary in 2005.
During his career, Mr. Hamilton served as Chairman of Kentucky Crushed Stone, 1976 and 1988, President of Kentucky Ready Mix Concrete, 1978, and Chairman of Kentuckians for Better Transportation, 1993. He was Chairman of Kentucky Highway Contractors, 2002 and President of Kentucky Plant Mix, 2005. He served for years on the Civil Engineering and Construction Engineering Advisory Committees at UK, and was Chairman of the Construction Engineering Committee. He serves as a Board Member of many community and civic organizations including The Hope Center, Bluegrass Tomorrow, Scott County United and The Lexington Jazz Arts Foundation. He became a Board Member, 1981, Farmers Bank and Trust, Georgetown, and Farmers Bank and Capital Holding Company, Frankfort. 2005. In 1991, Mr. Hamilton was named Georgetown-Scott County Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year and served as its President, 1973 and 1990. Nally & Gibson was named Business of the Year in 2000.
Mr. Hamilton is an avid hunter, golfer and shooter of sporting clays and is a member of Elk Creek Hunt Club in Owenton, KY, and Quail Creek Hunt Club in Ft. Pierce, FL. He spends the falls hunting dove in KY and pheasant in Woonsocket, South Dakota. He and his wife Helen both enjoy sharing the same sports together. Frank has been married to Helen Hamilton since 1992. He has four children, Richard, Michael, Patrick and Margaret Hamilton and two step-children, Holly Scudder and Jason O'Neal. He is a proud grandfather of four, Caroline (6), Anna Katherine (4) and William (3 months), children of Patrick and Jodi Hamilton, Louisville KY and Nathaniel Scudder (3) son of Holly and Brooks Scudder, Lexington.

Nate recovers well enough from Chicago's Super Bowl loss to share PECOTA's take on first base prospects.
Fortunately, writing about first base prospects gives me something of the day off, since there aren't very many of them. A lot of this flows from sabermetric first principles; first base is the endpoint of the defensive spectrum, which not only means that you have to hit a whole lot to make a name for yourself at the position, but also that there's nowhere to go if your defense gets any worse.

The Finance Advisory Committee (FAC) was formed last month to help study enrollment projections and estimates on budget variances for the 2011-2012 fiscal year and provide input for the budget forecast. FAC was made up of district administrators, members of the school board's finance and operations work group, representatives from teachers' and principals' bargaining groups and community members with financial backgrounds.
The school board will use FAC's recommendation to help determine whether it should pursue a new levy for the upcoming election in November.
The board also has four action items up for approval, including 2012-2013 employee benefit insurance renewals, early retirement, and releasing probationary teachers and paraprofessionals.
The board meets at 5:15 p.m. for a learning session at City Hall followed by its 7:15 p.m. business meeting, also at City Hall. Both meetings are open to the public.

Laugh at a professional with this GrouponLive deal to the Celebrity Holiday Celebration at The Club in Burbank on Friday, December 14. For $30, you get two general-admission tickets to the party, which starts at 8 p.m. (up to a $53.24 value, including all fees).
Hosted by Karlie Redd of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta reality-show renown, a dazzling menu of rising Chicagoland talents get merry with gut-busting laughs and toe-tapping tunes. Passing the mic around and filling it with his own jokes is comedian Damon Williams, known across the suburbs and urbs alike as the emcee of traveling showcase Funny First Saturdays. Willie Taylor, former member of Day26 from Diddy's Making the Band, sits at the top of the musical lineup alongside LakeShore, a boy-boy-girl group that weaves old-fashioned R & B harmonies and comes championed by Syleena Johnson, one of TV One's R&B Divas.

####The Club A space as suave as the sounds that often spill from its stage, The Club brings a big-city, but still comfortable, ambience to Chicago's southwest suburbs. The sprawling venue might feel like a straightforward dance club, an unusually chic banquet hall, or a laid-back living room without all the old magazines and abandoned coffee mugs, depending on which of its spaces you're wandering through. Violet lights play off leather couches, plywood floors, and velvet seats that wouldn't look out of place in a sidewalk café. Translucent drapes and alien-looking chandeliers dangle from exposed rafters, ensuring that even the space's industrial touches are softened by an eclectic, personality-packed vibe.

With today's ever growing need to expand everything these days, (apart from my wage packet of course), upgrading to a larger internal hard drive on my laptop has had to happen yet again, upping my Giga doods to a rather fetching, and very large Terabyte, (TB) or 1000+ Giga Bytes.
But on opting to replace the smaller internal hard drive with this much roomier one I was left with a spare internal hard drive consisting of 320 GB of space, which I didn't intend on wasting.
So I decided to do what I had done before, which was to purchase what is called a Hard drive caddy so that I could turn the internal hard drive that I had just taken out of the laptop into an external memory device, giving me more space to store all my computer bits and bobs such as photo's videos, worksheets and the rest.
My first thought was to get hold of the same caddy that I had used before, that being a simple to use one from Iomax, but unfortunately this one was sold out and I had no idea when it was going to be back in stock.
Fortunately though there was a very similar product which looked almost identical and I presumed would therefore be as easy to set up and to use as the Iomax. This other product, that I then decided to buy, is in fact made by someone called Hamas who to be honest I had never heard of, but as the price was right and the product looked similar, I decided to go with it. And I've had no complaints since doing so.
Getting started is easy, with everything you need wrapped up inside the box.
There should be...
* A 2.5 inch SATA hard drive enclosure itself, (for 9.5mm only)
* USB connecting cable with double USB heads on way end.
* A black cloth carrying pouch
* Screws
* A small screw driver
* Driver CD for windows 98SE
* User manual
Firstly, let's look at the technical stuff...
It's plug and play meaning that you don't have to search for drivers to get this thing connected up to your PC, although you will have to install the CD if you're running windows 98SE.
And apart from most windows OS it also works on Mac 9 and above, even Linux 2.4 too.
The aluminium case claims to offer a better cooling process and, even though the unit can get a little warm with excessive use, it doesn't 'overheat' enough to warrant calling out the fire brigade.
It's also what is called 'Hot Swappable', which means that you can plug and unplug the device without having to got through the 'remove device safely' process in case you accident lay delete something you wanted to keep, which can be annoying at times.
There's no need for external power supplies either as this is power from the USB ports which, as it's doubled, give it that extra bit of speed, both read and write.
With the actual read and write speeds up to 480Mbps
** That's the technical bits out of the way with....
The advantage of caddies like this are that you can take out the hard drive from your laptop and, once in this caddy, you then have a useable external hard drive in a rather funky and very strong case.
The other advantage is that if you want to 'clone' your 'old' hard drive onto your 'new' one you can do so using this caddy with ease. Doing it this way is easier and a lot quicker that transferring the data onto an external, then replacing the internal hard drives and finally re-transferring the data onto the newly fitted internal hard drive. Believe me, this can take an eternity depending on how much data you are playing with.
Putting the hard drive in can be a bit tricky but once it's in it's in, but do be careful in case of static electricity which can be quite harmful to hard drives
But here's a briefing in how to install the HDD into the caddy.
Firstly you carefully take your internal hard drive out of your PC and, carefully, slot the hard drive onto the top of the caddy, they can only connect together in one way so there's no need to worry about slotting them together incorrectly.
So, once the hard drive is in place you then slide it into the main body of the caddy, lining up the screw holes which are at the top end of the caddy. Then, finally, screw the tiny screws into position and that's it, job done, you're now ready to connect this 'external' hard drive to you PC.
When the caddy is in use there's a little light that flickers when the drive is in use, this light is situated on the same end as the USB port.
The pouch itself, if you're interested, is made of a soft imitation leather, it may in fact be a very thin leather of some kind, maybe of a very thin skinned bullfrog or something. The stitching along the case may look a little on the rough side but it's quite strong and sort of gives the case a bit of a 'rustic' look.
This enclosure works a treat, for what it is designed for anyway. The Hard Drive slid inside with the tiny screws keeping the whole thing sitting neatly together.
The casing never over heated at all even though it was running for a good 2 and a half hours not stop at one point, and considering it doesn't have a fan I was quite impressed by how cool it stayed.
The USB leads supplied, which give power to the device were a good length indeed, so there was no trouble with trying to balance the enclosure right next to your PC. Ne set of leads having a two USB connecter points at one end, which I plugged into the back ports as they are nearer the motherboard and this is supposed to give a faster transfer rate. The other supplied lead had a single USB connecter and was solely used to power the drive, although I only needed the first lead as this powered the unit well enough to do the job.
When the drive inside the enclosure is in use there is a soothing little green light flickering away, letting you know that everything is running fine.
Once I had finished the cloning and then the swapping of the HD's I now had the old Hard Drive safely inside this enclosure, tucked away inside a cupboard, which will stay there for a little while as a full back up just in case the new installed drive goes pear shaped in some way. But once I have done a full back up of the new Drive and feel confident that all is well I will then have an 80GB hard drive which I can fill with anything I want and that is a massive amount of space for all my movies and songs.
I couldn't believe how easy this enclosure was to sort out, even though I had read reviews of people who claimed to have had problems with the tiny screws. I know they are tiny but if you don't try and force them into position you will have no trouble at all. I screwed and unscrewed them several times and found them to fit into place each time.
What more can I say about this Hard Drive enclosure? Well, it does exactly what it is meant to do, it encloses a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive, although they do sell one which is for a 2.5 inch IDE Hard drive too, which from the looks of the pictures will work exactly the same and cost a little less than the SATA version.
But this SATA version is still at a great price from amazon, going for around £6.50 for the lot, including the leads and the nice jazzy cloth case for the enclosure to be stored in to protect it from dust.
What a bargain.

Easy New Year's Resolutions: Make Breakfast No Yolk!
Eggs are a terrific source of lean protein, but if you're trying to cut the cholesterol in your diet, you might want to go yolk-free — each yolk contains an eye-popping 186 grams of cholesterol. In contrast, egg whites have zero cholesterol, only .06 grams of fat, and a mere 17 calories.
We won't lie—egg whites alone don't have the full flavor of a whole egg. So if you scramble the whites solo, add some chopped herbs, tomatoes, spinach or a scattering of Parmesan cheese. Or simply use one whole egg and one egg white for a reduced-cholesterol egg fix.
New Year's resolutions you can keep! Every day in January, we're bringing you healthy (often surprising) tips that are easy to incorporate into your regular diet.

I bought this scooter for my son's 11th bday and he absolutely loves it! I live in Florida and there is no one around with a scooter like his. All the kids at the skate park keep asking him where he got it and he's loving it! Lol. Being a single mom, I knew nothing about scooters. After talking to a few dads I quickly learned of a few key things to look for. A huge one for me is the handle bars are one solid piece. No worrying about clamps getting stripped like we had happen with some other brands. My overall experience was great. No problems with international delivery and I was surprised how fast we received the scooter. We will definitely be a returning customer!

This makes it the most expensive private residence in the state, and the price may be the second highest price paid for a home in the U.S., the website said.
The 8,930-square-foot neoclassical home, built in 2005 and designed by architect Allan Greenberg, has four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and is situated on an 8.99-acre property, according to redfin.com.
SFLuxe.com said it was unable to disclose information about the new owner, but the estate was previously owned by Tully Friedman of the investment firm, Friedman, Fleischer and Lowe LLC, based in San Francisco.

Update: Women in life-threatening condition following crash at Eye
PUBLISHED: 23:07 15 November 2012
TWO women have suffered life-threatening injuries following a two-vehicle crash on the B1117 at Eye, near Cookley Farm.
The accident, which happened at about 4.20pm today in foggy conditions, involved a red Ford Fiesta and a green Toyota Corolla.
The driver of the Fiesta, a woman in her 40s, and a passenger, an 18-year-old woman, suffered life-threatening injuries and the Corolla driver – a man believed to be aged 70 – was said to be in shock.
All were taken to Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and the Fiesta driver was transferred to Papworth Hospital in Cambridgeshire.
Three fire appliances attended the scene and crews used hydraulic cutting gear to release the women who were trapped in the car.
A spokeswoman for the East of England Ambulance Service said: "Emergency crews worked very hard together to ensure they could be freed safely and treated as quickly as possible."
She said the ambulance service was called just before 4.15pm and resources included three ambulances, the East Anglian Air Ambulance, paramedic officers and a response vehicle.
The driver of the Fiesta and her front-seat passenger both suffered fractures and the front-seat passenger also suffered facial injuries and was semi-conscious. The man, the driver of the Corolla, complained of chest pain.
The road had been closed at the junction of Cocks Road and Cookley Road, but had reopened by 9pm.

Fight Hunger Bowl: Washington vs BYU
Event has passed
(Fri Dec 27, 2013 - Fri Dec 27, 2013)
AT&T Park
Claim this listing
The Washington Huskies will meet the BYU Cougars in the 2013 Fight Hunger Bowl game, it was announced today by Bowl Executive Director and co-founder Gary Cavalli.
The two teams, both sporting 8-4 season records, will square off on Friday, December 27 at AT&T Park in downtown San Francisco. The game is scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. [PST]/9:30 p.m. [EST] kickoff and will be shown to a national audience by ESPN. This year's kickoff marks a return to prime time for the first time since Nevada played Boston College in the 2010 postseason.
The teams have split eight previous meetings. Their last contest was in 2010 with BYU a 23-17 victor [yearly scores at end of release].
BYU's arduous schedule was highlighted by a 37-20 home triumph Oct. 25 over Boise State that elevated the Cougars to bowl eligibility and made them the first of 70+ teams to qualify for postseason play. BYU put together a 5-game winning streak midseason and also defeated Texas in September. The Cougars completed their regular season with a come-from-behind victory at Nevada Nov. 30.
Washington also finished 8-4 after negotiating its way through what's arguably the most difficult conference schedule in college football, the Pac-12. Highlights included a season-opening victory over Boise State that christened the newly-renovated Husky Stadium; a 4-game win streak to begin the campaign; and four victories in their last five contests. Washington concluded the season by throttling Oregon State 69-27 on the road and followed up with an Apple Cup victory over Washington State 27-17. The 8-4 finish was Washington's best since 2001.
"This year's matchup will be one of the very best in the history of our game," Cavalli said. "We have two 8-4 teams, two nationally known programs, both with explosive offenses and big name players. We expect a great game, a huge crowd and terrific TV ratings.
"Our Board, staff and volunteers couldn't be happier about landing Washington and BYU. We look forward to welcoming these two fine teams and providing them with a memorable week in San Francisco."
"We're very excited to have been selected to play in the Fight Hunger Bowl. The game will be a new experience for our program and the many Husky fans in the Bay Area, and I am confident it will be a great one. Interim coach Marques Tuiasosopo will have the team ready to compete against a great opponent," said Washington Director of Athletics Scott Woodward.
"I'm humbled and so honored," Tuiasosopo said when named Huskies coach for the bowl game. "It's a great and incredible honor to lead my alma mater in this game. We still have a lot to play for."
Washington brings one of the game's most prolific offenses to San Francisco. The Huskies averaged 514.3 yards of total offense, which was second overall in the Pac-12. The rush game averaged 243.0 yards/game and the pass game 271.3.
Junior RB Bishop Sankey had an outstanding season, carrying 306 times for 1,774 yards and 18 touchdowns. The yards gained and TDs led the conference.
Senior QB Keith Price completed 216 of 330 attempts and threw for 20 touchdowns with just five interceptions. He ranked 6th among Pac-12 passers. Price battled injuries in the second half of the season but is expected to be fully recovered by late December.
"What an exciting opportunity for the Cougars to travel to the great city of San Francisco for the Fight Hunger Bowl and to play Washington from the Pac-12," said BYU athletics director Tom Holmoe. "Our coaches, players and fans will love the holiday season in San Francisco. It's great to be able to add to the wonderful bowl tradition that is long associated with BYU football."
BYU senior QB Taysom Hill accounted for 28 total touchdowns in leading the Cougars in both passing and rushing. Hill completed 211 of 390 attempts for 2,645 yards and 19 TDs; he also rushed 215 times for 1,211 yards and nine more scores.
Four BYU receivers caught at least 23 passes, led by senior WR Cody Hoffman with 45 receptions, 727 yards and five end zone trips. The Cougars' 212 total receptions were divided amongst 18 different receivers.
Defensively, senior LB Kyle Van Noy burnished his All-America credentials with 16 tackles for loss, four sacks and two interceptions. He was nicely complemented by fellow LB Unai `Unga, who led the Cougars with 136 total tackles.
"We are looking forward to the opportunity to play the University of Washington in the Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco," said BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall. "I'm proud of our team. We are excited to be in the postseason for the ninth straight year with a chance to grow our program facing an outstanding football program."
This year's contest will be the finale at AT&T Park, the Bowl's home since its 2002 inception. Beginning in 2014, the game will be played at Levi's Stadium, the soon-to-be-completed, state-of-the-art stadium in Santa Clara, CA that will house the NFL's San Francisco 49ers.
Also next year, the game will feature matchups between the Pac-12 and Big Ten Conferences. The two conferences announced earlier this year that each would provide upper echelon teams to the Bowl over the course of a 6-year agreement that runs through 2019.

5 Crazy Baby Gadgets for Tech-Obsessed Parents
Jonathan Tippett; Vancouver, British Columbia.
Human amplification: That's the idea behind Jonathan Tippett's 6-foot-tall Alpha Leg—a multi-hinged structure of welded tubular steel fitted with hydraulic rams, dampers, and air springs, all articulated like the hindquarters of a dog. Tippett and his team of volunteers designed the 2860-pound leg to respond directly to the user's arm movements. It can move up and down and even jump up into the air, amplifying the force applied by the user by a factor of 100.
The leg also communicates force back to the controller. For example, when it lands with a thud, a proportional kick is sent into the arm of the user to give them physical feedback. And it's worth mentioning that the control seat is meant to be mounted on top of the leg, so that the user rides the machine and operates it at the same time Tippett admits that he hasn't actually tried that yet. In fact, the machine has been operational for only about 10 hours total so far, but that's about to change. A newly designed battery pack should free the leg from it's current restraints atop a flatbed truck, bringing Tippett one step closer to the machine he really wants to build: a giant, four-legged, human-controlled walking exoskeleton named Prosthesis. For more about the project, check out our full story.
Sanjay Dastoor, Matt Tran, John Ulmen; Sunnyvale, Calif.
Leave it to a Silicon Valley–based Californian to mechanize a longboard. John Ulmen built a prototype board with a lithium-ion battery, onboard computer, and lightweight brushless motors in May 2011, while he was still a mechanical engineering student at Stanford. Later that year he joined forces with fellow students Matt Tran and Sanjay Dastoor to create Boosted. "Everyone needs to get around, and there's something pure and simple about a longboard," Ulmen says. The team raised $467,167 using Kickstarter; production units should be available by the end of summer.
