Lowdon sees bright future for Virgin
Virgin Racing sporting director Graeme Lowdon believes the growing frustration within the team has finally been eradicated.
In the weeks leading up to the current break in Formula One, Virgin made several announcements they hope has seen them turn a corner.
At the start of June Virgin ditched technical director Nick Wirth, claiming they wanted to seize greater control of their own destiny.
A month later the team announced a long-term technical partnership with McLaren, allowing them access to facilities such as test rigs, driver simulator and wind tunnel.
Then at the German Grand Prix just over a week ago, driver Timo Glock confirmed he had signed a new contract through to the end of 2014.
All of a sudden, a wind of change is blowing through the Dinnington-based squad, much to Lowdon's delight.
Speaking to Press Association Sport, Lowdon said: "There was a lot of frustration not so long ago, but there isn't now simply because of all of our recent announcements.
"It's quite clear we had to do something because there was a risk that frustration would set in.
"People in this team haven't just landed into Formula One. There are a lot of very experienced F1 people here.
"They've come from successful teams, and whilst they believe in what we are doing, they want to see progress and move forward.
"There certainly was a risk if we weren't making progress there would be some frustration.
"Clearly we didn't make as much progress this year as we wanted to, and that's pretty well documented, so we had to make some changes.
"But we've managed to retain that spirit and built on it, and now people can see there is a very credible future plan.
"A lot of people have put a lot of hard work in to get the team here, and hopefully we're looking forward to reaping some of the rewards as well."
The McLaren tie-up, in particular, is of considerable significance, however Lowdon has warned people not to get too carried away.
With Virgin still searching for its first point in F1 with 30 races behind them, Lowdon feels the benefits of the McLaren deal will not be felt until next season.
"You could argue we are already seeing intangible benefits because there is a quite clear direction and optimism within the team," added Lowdon.
"That has been reflected in Timo signing a long-term contract, but in terms of when will we see anything on the track? It's going to be more the 2012 car than anything else.
"Everyone wants to see immediate improvement, but in reality it's going to be more next year.
"What this deal should do is compress timescales. Obviously McLaren can't design anything for us, and we can't take any components. The rules prevent that.
"This is about the transfer of knowledge of processes so we can speed up how quickly our engineers can come up with designs and implement them on the track.
"We're already using certain processes and have learned certain things which we feel will help us this year, but we're looking at more next year for improvement."

1. There was not adequate funds and financing for such an extensive project. 2. There were many time-consunling law suits involvillg water rights. Moreover, "the general Land Office made an adverse report on the New Castle Reclamation Co. in the matter of approving the water supply for desert entry." (Jan. 1920 Report to Federal Land Bank State. Engineers from Engineer Appraisalj 3. The reservoir failed, due to leakage, which developed in the storage hasin making it possihle to store water only a short period of time in excessively wet years." The volcanic formation would not stand the tremendous weight of the water." Many people never did give up the New Castle Project plan in general, or fighting for water rights. .4n example of this is the statement made in 1937 by J. X. Gardner - "the Grass Valley Reservoir leaks approximately 8 to 10 second feet of water, hut, the leakage could be stoppcd with a $10,000 expenditure." In July of 1937, Milo B. Williams, Regional Chief Engineer for the State of Utah, interviewed Lehi about "Water Utilization Investigation for Newcastle areas'' and reported the following: "Lehi W. Jones, Cedar City, Utah present Superintendent of Water for the Grass Valley Irrigation Corporation. Mr. Jones is also a banker in Cedar City, owns 1252 shares of irrigation stock and has a son, T. W. Jones, who owns 390 shares. T. W. Jones is one of the farmers and lives out in the Escalante Desert on the far end of the Newcastle Canal which it is proposed to ahandon. Mr. Lehi W. Jones states that his son will be willing to transfer his shares to land which they now own in.the Newcastie area if a general readjustment is consummated. Mr. Jones thinks the present system, if put into proper condition, would supply water for 1,000 to 1,200 acres of land if all the water could be used in the immediate Newcastle community area. Mr. Jones is particularly interested not only in seeing the Newcastle community rehahilitated by better use of the available water, hut also very anxious to prevent the loss of the surplus Santa Clara Creek waters to the State of Utah which is the case the whrn such waters flow into the Virgin River d u r i n ~ winter months and are added to the waters of the Colorado. He believes the only avail:~hlelands on which this water ran he used are the lands in the Newcastle-F.valante Desert area through the inter-mountain diversion.""

Motorsport at the Palace returns next year for its fifth consecutive running, with the popular London sprint taking place on Sunday 25th and Monday 26th May 2014.
Reinforcing its status as a community-focused event, Motorsport at the Palace has now raised over £13,500 for local charities. Next year we hope to lift the bar even higher, as London's leading motorsport event returns to thrill spectators and drivers in equal measure.
As usual, there will be plenty to keep guests of all ages entertained away from the track. The show area will be packed with exotica, with numerous single marque, classic car and motorcycle club stands, in addition to retail and catering areas.
Younger guests can enjoy fairground rides and inflatables, while those on the look-out for a new car can browse the on-site Ancaster showroom, featuring Ancaster's extensive range of Nissan, Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Hyundai vehicles.
And as always, the friendly paddock will be open to visitors, enabling guests to get up close to the cars and chat to the drivers before they take to the track.
So get ready for another fantastic couple of days of motorsport in one of the capital's most pleasant and welcoming parks, and help us celebrate the unique motorsport heritage of Crystal Palace – 'London's Own Circuit'.
- The MIA wishes to register support for the excellent concept which should attract great support, both from an audience and competitors at Crystal Palace. Chris Aylett, Chief Executive Motorsport Industry Association (MIA).
- The return of this special event would revive the spirit and history of motor racing at Crystal Palace, allowing young and old to enjoy the paddock atmosphere of an eclectic mix of vintage and more modern racing machinery, while mixing with the equally eclectic owners and drivers. From the Crystal Palace Community Association .
- In my youth I never missed a motor race meeting at the Palace I was (am) an avid supporter of the marvellous Spring Bank Holiday events.
John Payne
Chair Crystal Palace Community Association
- I found the whole experience most enjoyable. Set amongst lovely parkland and the spectators are always the cherry on top. I do appreciate performing in front of a crowd. I'll be back for 2011, for sure.
Paul Sleeman
Fastest Historic 1999.
- As you know CPF have always been supporters of sports events in the park and will be happy to publicise it as before. We should like to do a display as well. Melvyn Harrison Chairman Crystal Palace Foundation .

I have an old family friend that also taught, in the adjacent county where I grew up. My new patient knew of him, and asked me where I went to school.
Then he asked me if I remembered Mr. Zink.
Mr. Zink was the coolest teacher in my middle school. Everyone liked him: nerd, jock, cheerleader alike. He taught science, and if you were lucky you got him two years in a row. In those few minutes after the lesson finished, but before the bell rang, he would tell us the grossest stories that he knew.
I still remember them. The one about the kid playing basketball with his class ring on, who left his ring and its attached finger on the rim after a dunk, connected by all the tendons from his finger to his shoulder. (Can that really happen?)
Anyway, Mr. Zink was cool. He made science fun. He's one of my few fond memories of middle school, a thoroughly painful and tedious time of life.
Thanks, Mr. Zink.

The ring/finger thing can and does happen. I told my husband to NOT wear his ring when working. I had taken care of too many degloving ring injuries.

hey there...
PalMD sent me, said it would be worthwhile. He was right.
Just not sure I can read you. Your blog, your thoughts I mean. He said we would need to 'bring some kleenex'. He was right.
But I guess if you can live the trials and tribulations I can share them with you. I know I can share the happy moments and celebrations with you also.
Anyway . . .good stuff. Maybe you just might motivate me re: my own medical 'problems'.

Driving courses teach us to approach traffic lights with the intention of stopping should the signal change. If drivers run a red light and get caught by camera, they may learn from that monetary fine and become safer drivers. Logic says any deterrent is better than no deterrent. To defend against those drivers who are following too closely, just slow down when approaching an intersection.
Find the pedestrian walk lights and determine it they are blinking red or are counting down to zero, which will indicate that the signal will change shortly. These defensive driving techniques can be used whether or not the intersection has red light cameras, so you can add your own safe driving to the equation.

Back to School Cupcakes + DIY Cupcake Stand
It's that time again! Back to school! Before the kids are busy with soccer and homework, whip up a fun treat and enjoy the season. This apple cupcake is a delicious dessert that you can make with your kids in the kitchen. Serve them up on a cute, DIY cupcake stand made from items found at Michaels!
Designed by Courtney Dial Whitmore:

Material List
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 stick, unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large apples, diced
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- round wooden plate
- wooden candlestick
- Krylon Gloss Red spray paint
- Krylon Gloss Ivy Leaf spray paint
- Goop Craft Art glue
- Green foam with stick back
Project Instructions
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick, unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large apples, diced
Whisk together dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and set aside. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar for 5 minutes. Pour in eggs, one at a time, and vanilla extract until mixed well. Stir in diced apples. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet and mix well between each addition.
Place red cupcake liners (found at Michaels) into a cupcake pan. Fill cavities halfway with batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Cream butter with mixer and slowly add powdered sugar. Add milk and vanilla extract and beat well for 5 minutes. Add more milk if too stiff or more powdered sugar if too loose.
After cupcakes have cooled, use frosting bags (I used 16inch piping bags from Michaels) to pipe frosting in a circular motion onto cupcakes. You can use a tip for a decorative look or simple cut the tip of the piping bag.
Using Duff Goldman's Cake Graffiti Color in Red, simply spray your white frosting to give it a red hue. You can absolutely use Wilton gel colors to dye your frosting while mixing if you prefer. I was just excited to try out the cake graffiti – and loved it! Next step is best done over the sink or a trash bowl. Use Wilton Red Sugar Sprinkles on top of your red frosting. Be sure to get the sides too! Your cupcakes are beginning to take on their apple identity, but you're not done yet.
Place pretzel sticks (broken in half) at the top of each cupcake. Roll out green Swedish fish with a rolling pin or flatten with the side of a knife. You can use your hands to spread out the green fish also. Use a knife to cut a small leaf shape from the gummy candy. Place one on eitherside of your pretzel stick. On some cupcakes, you can use just one for variety. You're all done!
round wooden plate
wooden candlestick
Krylon Gloss Red spray paint
Krylon Gloss Ivy Leaf spray paint
Goop Craft Art glue
Green foam with stick back
In a well-ventilated area, spray your round wooden plate with Krylon Gloss Red spray paint. Be sure to let it dry and spray a second coat. Using Krylon Gloss Ivy Leaf spray paint, spray the candlestick on all sides with a first and second coat. Allow painted wood pieces to dry.
Using Goop Craft Art, glue the top of the wooden candlestick and adhere it to the center bottom of the wooden plate to create your stand. Allow 24 hours to thoroughly dry and set.
Cut out leaf shapes from green foam with sticky back (found at Michaels also). Peel off the paper backing and stick to plate for extra decoration! Your cupcake stand is done and ready for your apple cupcakes.
If you have leftover cupcakes, send them with home with friends in a cute "take-out" box. I picked up the small black take-out boxes from Michaels and visited the wooden aisle for a little extra décor. There are wooden shapes that you can paint yourself or many that are already painted! The apple shapes were adorable so I grabbed a few. Use a hot glue gun to adhere the wooden apple shape to the side of the mini take-out box. You're all set!
Throwing a back-to-school party with your apple cupcakes and new stand? For a simple table covering, pick up fun, patterned wrapping paper at Michaels. I loved this apple green and red stripe! Wrapping paper also makes for super easy clean-up after the party.
Create signs to label your treats with mini black-boards(also found at Michaels) and chalk. Give each child their own blackboard as a cute favor that they can write on at the party!
Happy Back-To-School fun!

As someone with deep ancestral roots in Canada, it has been eye-opening to see a Canadian consulate representative at every public meeting involving the potential movement of heavy crude Alberta tar-sands oil across Maine to be offloaded into tankers in Casco Bay.
Chris Jones of Albian Sands Energy describes the company's Fort McMurray, Alberta, oil-sands project in 2005. Canada's government, greatly invested in tar sands' success, is pressing for the transmission of tar-sands oil from Montreal to Portland, a reader says.
2005 File Photo/The Associated Press
The most current appearance was April 11, at a Portland Water District informational meeting.
Trustees of the Water District and community observers also listened to a U.S. government representative, a New England Petroleum Institute representative and Portland Pipe Line Corp. officials present their case for the transmission of heavy crude from Montreal to Portland Harbor.
I probably shouldn't be surprised by the consistent Canadian presence here. Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government is also energetically lobbying its own citizenry, since community groups in Canada from British Columbia to Montreal are objecting to tar-sands oil being pumped through their neighborhoods and offloaded into tankers in their coastal waters -- just as we are in Portland.
Why wouldn't the Harper government send emissaries hither and yon when so much of the Canadian economy has unfortunately been dumped into the Alberta tar sands basket?
It also should not be lost on anyone that the Portland-to-Montreal pipeline is majority owned by ExxonMobil's Canadian subsidiary Imperial Oil and Canadian oil giant Suncor.
We have a classic David-and-Goliath story unfolding all over Canada and the United States as small community groups face off against these petroleum potentates. In the days that come, we will need to decide which side we are on.

Lawmakers' support of MD research appreciated
In February my youngest son, Patrick, and I traveled to Washington to advocate on behalf of those in Maine affected by muscular dystrophy, seeking reauthorization of legislation directing the National Institutes of Health to continue treating these disorders as a priority and the Centers for Disease Control to update "best practices" information for treatments.
I've made this trip annually, since 2001, when the original Muscular Dystrophy Community Assistance, Research and Education Act was sponsored by Sens. Susan Collins and Paul Wellstone. This law must be periodically renewed.
Considering that the age of survival for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy has increased by 10 years and that research on these disorders has attracted many millions in private-sector investment leading to new drug development, I believe this legislation has been worthwhile.
Patrick and I visited each office of our Maine delegation.
We met with Sen. Collins, who again chose to be an original co-sponsor to reauthorize the act, stating she wanted to sustain the momentum this law has established. My family and I are grateful for her steadfast support.
We had a lengthy conversation with Sen. Angus King about muscular dystrophy, our hope for current research and the work being done at the Jackson Laboratories in Bar Harbor and how the lab supports research related to this legislation.
We met with the aides who focus on health-related issues for Reps. Chellie Pingree and Mike Michaud. Reps. Pingree and Michaud have consistently supported my efforts.
I am pleased Maine's entire delegation has joined Sen. Collins as co-sponsors. I want to thank each member and their staff for the time spent discussing the effects of muscular dystrophy on families and the importance of research for those living with these disorders.

Men's basketball prospectus 2011-12
Senior Justin Reed Leads Veteran Team
Last year, a young Penn State New Kensington men's basketball team went into the final game of the season looking for a victory and an invitation to the conference playoffs. They were denied on both counts. This year, an experienced squad plans an early RSVP for the Penn State University Athletic Conference tournament.
"The team is focused on improving and renewing the tradition and basketball culture at the campus, "said Doug Schneider, second-year coach head coach. "We have set high goals, and our experience, balanced with a quality recruiting class, can help us accomplish those goals."
With a symmetrical blend of five upperclassmen and five freshmen, Schneider looks for the team to improve on its 6-10 record and third-place finish in the PSUAC-West division a year ago, in his inaugural season.
"With the personnel that we have this year, we should be able to play a more up-tempo and team-oriented style of play," said Schneider, who as assistant coach helped the New Kensington Lions earn two berths in the PSUAC playoffs. "Our strength is leadership, mental toughness, and teamwork."
Heading the list of returnees is senior co-captain Justin Reed, a two-time All-Conference selection. Reed, a 6'3 swing-man from Saltsburg High School, is an excellent perimeter shooter, and equally adept at taking the ball to the hoop. During his Penn State career, he is averaging 16 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists while shooting 81 percent from the foul line. A year ago, the Moween, Pa. native broke the 1,000-point barrier, the first New Kensington player to do so since Dan Polizzano in 2004.
"Justin is our lone senior and has done a lot for this program with his individual contributions," said Schneider, who earned a bachelor's degree in communications from the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. "He is now focused on team success and in improving on aspects of his game that are necessary to help the team win."
Joining Reed at captain's table is sophomore Daryl Harrington from Perry Traditional. The 5-10 guard is the leader on the court and has stepped up his offense to take on more of the scoring burden. Harrington's backcourt teammate, Anthony Brown (Oliver), is a versatile 5-10 guard who can fill in at many positions.
"Daryl is the 'voice' of our team and his leadership will guide his teammates to success," Schneider said. "Anthony is one of the hardest workers on the floor, and heart and determination make him a player that every team needs on their squad."
Junior guard Abe Strapac (Leechburg) and sophomore guard Mike Poydence (Apollo Ridge) are the outside scoring threats for the New Kensington Lions. Strapec can hit the three-pointers that are needed to open up the inside game, and Poydence is excellent from mid-range to beyond the arc.
"Abe is one of our better shooters and his off-season work has helped to increase his role," Schneider said. "Mike is a pure shooter and he displays patience, determination, and the willingness to accept whatever role is needed to ensure that the team is successful."
Newcomers expected to crack the starting line-up and to provide depth off the bench include a pair of speedy guards and two big inside players. Freshman guards Lamont Wright and Victor Chaney are good ball handlers who can drive and look to dish it off underneath. The recipients of those feeds will be 6-8 freshman center Dillen Statler (Ford City) and 6-5 forward Shaquille Hagar.
"Lamont has a high basketball IQ and the potential to develop into a leader at the collegiate level while Victor is improving on all aspects of his game to increase his playing time," Schneider said. "Dillen is coachable and has the potential to be an impact player as the season progresses. Shaquille gives us size and athleticism at power forward."
Freshman guard Dom Strapec, brother of Abe, is currently battling injuries. He is expected to return in January when the conference schedule heats up and provide another threat from the three-point range.
"We have a very 'hungry' team that has displayed the willingness to do what it takes to be successful in our conference," Schneider said. "The key to this year's season is improvement on focus, academics, selflessness, and teamwork."
Schneider was named head coach last year after four years as assistant coach under former coach Ryan Shank. The banner year was 2007 when the team went 22-6 and finished sixth in the nation in the United State Collegiate Athletic Association. In the PSUAC, the team went undefeated during the regular season and finished as runner-up for the conference title. The squad was ranked number one in the country for the last six weeks of the season.
As an undergrad at Pitt-Bradford, he was the captain of the basketball team that won two conference titles and received two NCAA Division III playoff berths. The Marienville, Pa., native led the nation in three-point shooting percentage, 54 percent, in 2002.
When he is not coaching, Schneider is a paraeducator at the Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf in Pittsburgh. Paraeducators work under the supervision of teachers or other professional practitioners. Their responsibilities include providing other services to youth and their families. Schneider assists WPSD students with both academic and behavior issues. Schneider resides in Apollo, Pa., with his wife, Tiffany, and three-year old son Dalton.
The coach can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com via e-mail.

Universal Design
Universal design is a concept that has emerged from the architectural field and is now being applied in other arenas. Many of us recognize that architectural features designed to benefit people with disabilities are advantageous to everyone. Lowered water fountains, for example, allow children to get a drink without assistance. Ramps are more convenient when we are pulling luggage or moving equipment. The same phenomenon has occurred with newer technology. Cell phones equipped to send digital messages provide accessibility for people who are deaf, but are also convenient if you are in a meeting or in a noisy environment.
The principles of universal design can be used to guide course organization and development of course materials in a way that is accessible to a broader range of individuals. Many educators have embraced the concept of universal design because the application of it benefits all of the students in their class. Here are a few examples of the students who benefit:
- Students for whom English is a second language.
- Students who have older computer technology or browsers.
- International students.
- Nontraditional students.
- Students with disabilities.
- Students with a learning style that differs from that of his or her instructor's teaching style.

After all, the big black box on the wall serves a useful purpose at times. Dora the Explorer is skilled at keeping my toddler occupied – so is Dora's cousin, Diego – and having a toddler who is occupied with something other than smearing lotion on the bathroom floor or removing every toothpick from the toothpick box can be a godsend some days
So, I always have a few episodes of both Dora the Explorer and Go Diego Go recorded on our DVR. Gotta love the DVR. Rather than switching on the tube and having to wade through a sea of channels to find something suitable for a kid, as television used to be when I was young, now every show I have deemed suitable for my kid is readily available whenever I'm ready to let her watch one. Oh, the beauty of technology.
There is this interesting little glitch to DVR recording, however. After Dora or Diego sing their final goodbye songs, the recording doesn't immediately end. A string of commercials begins spewing from the TV before I have a chance to locate the remote control and push the correct buttons to get them to stop.
I didn't think too much about it, the little commercial blitz immediately following the end of Elle's favorite television shows, until it occurred to me that my toddler was starting to watch commercials as readily and willingly as she watched her friends Dora and Diego.
"I want to watch 'til it ends," she would plead, imploring me to allow her just three-to-five more minutes to sit mesmerized in front of the screen before the recording finally did come to its end.
What, I wondered, was keeping her so mesmerized? I can understand why she adores following Dora as she saves Mermaid Kingdom from a littering octopus villain, or cheers on Diego as he gallantly saves a baby Humpback Whale, but I can't quite get why my almost-3-year-old wants to watch a wide-smiling woman pour Splenda into a blender. Splenda with Fiber?
Or how about the rain-soaked lady standing in a grocery store parking lot, having a reverie about her ideal mini-van (a Chrysler Town and Country.)
To better understand why my kid likes watching commercials as much as toddler-friendly educational programs (they are marketed as "educational" because they count in Spanish and stuff) I started sitting down to watch commercials with Elle.
This is what I discovered: The people trying to get you to want to buy stuff are really good at what they do.
The flurry of commercials that follow every half-hour show on every kid-specific channel is an eloquently choreographed advertising bombardment. Whoever's running the show at Nickelodeon utilizes this crafty equation: One commercial for something your kid wants (or should want), alternated with another commercial for something you want (or should want) to have in your life. Like more fiber or a mini-van.
But even I wanted a Tinkerbell Pixie Power Playset, after watching the little girls in the commercial magically transported into Tinkerbell's mystical land of sparkling rainbows, spontaneously blooming flowers, and flapping butterflies ("Anything is possible with the help of some Pixie Power! Fly Tink around her pixie workshop and garden and watch her magically bring it to life with her Pixie Power!")
Just for kicks, I looked up a few reviews of the Power Playset on-line. Ironically enough, the first review I read noted: "My 5-year-old daughter had to get 'Tinkerbell's house' after seeing a commercial about it. I've never seen the commercial, but the toy was probably a lot more impressive on TV."
So big companies spend big bucks making fabulous commercials making their products seem bigger-than-life amazing. That's no crime. It's my fault, anyway, for letting my child watch "educational" programs on television (and not shutting down the advertisement-laden vortex immediately following those shows' completion.)
But where does this commercialization end?
After making the intelligent decision to not order Tinkerbell's Pixie Power Playset for Elle's Christmas gift, I brought her to the grocery store to purchase a few things we actually needed (Splenda with Fiber not being one of them.)
She pushes that child-size cart around the aisles so self-importantly, thoughtfully considering which items should be placed inside.
"Look, Mom, Elmo!"
It's hard enough to convince a kid that juice out of a jug tastes just the same as juice out of a box with a little straw (it's just cheaper); throw a picture of Elmo on a juice box, and it's virtually impossible to get a kid to believe otherwise.
"All right, you can get the Elmo juice boxes," I mutter, convincing myself it's not so bad: At least they're "All Natural" (whatever that means).
Two aisles later, though, Elle is fully ready to abandon Elmo and his juice boxes.
"Look, Mom, Spongebob!"
Elle is overjoyed. There is Spongebob Squarepants, here in the grocery store's dairy aisle, looking up at her with that goofy look of his, begging to be put inside her little cart.
Again, it is difficult to convince a child that yogurt that comes out of a plain-looking container is just as good – better, even – than yogurt that comes out of a little plastic tube covered with pictures of Spongebob Squarepants.
For Elle, the only thing better than Spongebob on a tube of yogurt would be Dora on a tube of yogurt.
I have to draw the line at squeeze-from-a-tube yogurt. It just doesn't seem right to eat yogurt from a plastic tube. Nor does it seem right to eat yogurt that is green or blue. None of that matters to my daughter, however, because to her, yogurt endorsed by Spongebob is the only yogurt worth purchasing.
And so begins a battle – not our first, and definitely not our last – over what we should buy, versus what we've been told we should want to buy.

Rossi to Join Valparaiso Men's Basketball Program
Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Valparaiso men's basketball head coach Bryce Drew announced today that Alex Rossi, a 6'6" guard from Winnetka, Ill., has committed to join the Crusader program. Rossi comes to Valpo after spending the last two years at the University of California.
Rossi sat out the 2010-2011 season at Cal as a medical redshirt before using his first season of eligibility with the Golden Bears in 2011-2012. Rossi arrived at Cal after being ranked as the 36th-best shooting guard nationally in the Class of 2010. He was noted as one of the top-10 shooters in his class by ESPN.com and also participated in the NBA Top 100 camp. In his senior year at New Trier H.S., Rossi was honored as a Second Team All-State recipient and the Central Suburban League Player of the Year. The Chicago-area product was also an Honorable Mention All-State honoree as a junior and three times earned All-Conference honors for the Trevians.
"Alex is a great shooter who can really stretch the defense," said Drew. "He has very long arms, which helps him on both offense and defense. Besides being a tremendous player, Alex is a great person off the court as well. He served as president of the Pac-12 Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and also carries a GPA over 3.0."
Rossi becomes the fourth player to commit to the Crusader men's basketball program during the spring signing period, joining David Chadwick, Jordan Coleman and LaVonte Dority.

Leon Leyson born Leib Lejzon in Narewka, Poland could so easily have been among the 1 million Jewish children murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust.
Born on Sept. 15, 1929, he was just days shy of 10 when Germany invaded Poland on Sept. 1, 1939. But he, his parents and two siblings survived under the protection of German industrialist Oskar Schindler, whose list of some 1,100 Jews inspired the Academy Award-winning 1993 film, Schindlers List.
Two brothers perished: one in a 1941 massacre, the other in a death camp.
Leyson came to the United States as a teenager in 1949 after years in a Displaced Persons camp, with his father, Moshe, a tool-and-die maker, and mother Channa. They all became U.S. citizens.
Leyson served with the Army in Japan during the Korean War, then taught industrial arts at a Southern California high school for 39 years.
He died in hospice care on Jan. 12 at 83, of lymphoma, said daughter Stacy Wilfong, of Warrenton, Va. Many news organizations incorrectly reported that Leyson was the youngest person saved by Schindler. At least two others in the United States are still in their 70s.
Leyson didnt talk much about the Holocaust while his children, now in their 40s, were growing up, said Wilfong, although she and her brother always knew what hed been through, and about Schindlers role in his survival.
But after retiring in 1997, Leyson accepted all invitations to speak to school, civic and religious groups about his experience.
He would, of course, talk about how the towering, barrel-chested Schindler called him Little Leyson, as he perched atop a box to operate a munitions-factory machine. But he also talked about how, despite the brutality, terror and starvation he endured, hed made peace with his past.
Her father taught being a good person by example, his daughter said: how to value friendships, be compassionate, be interested in people, be supportive and helpful. Being able to forgive and move on. he didnt sweat the small stuff, because he knew what the big stuff was.
In the 1994 book, Schindlers Legacy: True Stories of the List Survivors, Leyson described how he had the chance to strike back at some German prisoners of war after Russian soldiers liberated Schindlers factory in Czechoslovakia in May 1945.
Some in his group, after years in painful wooden shoes, demanded the Germans boots. Not Leyson.
To take revenge would have been absolutely insane, he said. This one particular person I picked on might have been a perfectly innocent person with a family and children. I would not even take myself down to that level. There is no way we could get even.
Trading some of those shoes for boots in the short run is a gain, but in the long run it is a loss. In the long run I am better off than the person who did that. I know what kind of person I am. I could stand up taller.
In addition to his daughter, Leyson is survived by Elisabeth, his wife of 46 years; son, Daniel Leyson, of Los Angeles; sister, Aviva Nissenbaum and brother, David Leyson, both of Israel.
Leyson was buried in a Los Angeles on Tuesday.
