Senior men's tennis co-captain Jeffrey Vredenburg (pictured) and 2009 graduate Edward Helderop, who have been friends since seventh grade and were classmates at Forest Hills Northern High School in Grand Rapids, have each received highly competitive English teaching assistantships for the coming year through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State.
Senior men's tennis co-captain Jeffrey Vredenburg (pictured) and 2009 graduate Edward Helderop, who have been friends since seventh grade and were classmates at Forest Hills Northern High School in Grand Rapids, have each received highly competitive English teaching assistantships for the coming year through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State.
Vredenburg will spend September through mid-July 2012 in Ecuador, teaching English as well as working with local conservation and sustainability organizations on community-education projects. Helderop will be in Andorra from September until May or June 2012, teaching English and conducting research regarding the teaching of Catalan in Andorran schools.
Several Hope students or recent graduates have received the awards through the years, including four each in 2008 and 2009, and two last year.
Vredenburg is triple-majoring in biology, French and Spanish, and has studied abroad on three continents.
After graduating from Forest Hills Northern High School in 2005 and before enrolling at Hope, he spent a year living in Strasbourg, France, while taking high school classes.
The summer after his sophomore year at the college, he enrolled in an intensive-language program in BeijingChina, after which he spent the fall 2008 semester studying in Shanghai. Between the two programs, he held an internship with the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
In the fall of 2009, he took a semester off to travel South America, visiting Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina. Vredenburg and a friend from Hope, Tyler Depke, who had graduated in the spring of that year, did conservation work, volunteered teaching English and gave community lectures on sustainability, most in Ecuador.
"The trip to South America is what sparked my interest in biology/ecology and sustainability, and led me to a biology major. Before that, I was only planning on a minor," he said. "The trip also gave me a solid platform to apply for a Fulbright, since I had experience in the country teaching English and working in ecology/sustainability."
The past two semesters, Vredenburg has been conducting research in seed toxicology with Dr. K. Gregory Murray, professor of biology. He has been serving on the college's sustainability committee, or "Green Team," composed of students, faculty and staff, and as president of the college's Environmental Issues Group.
His other activities have included serving on the executive board of the college's chapter of the Mortar Board honor society and as a member of the French and Spanish honor societies, and tutoring French, Spanish, Chinese and biology. He is a four-year varsity letter winner on the men's tennis team, of which he currently is a captain. His activities have also included mentoring and tutoring through the Children's After School Achievement (CASA) program and Latin Americans United for Progress (LAUP), and ultimate Frisbee.
He is the son of Dr. Michael and Rebecca Vredenburg of Grand Rapids.
Helderop majored in biology at Hope and minored in Spanish and environmental science. From March of 2010 until March of this year, he taught English in Muju, South Korea, primarily for elementary and middle school students but also for high school students and adults.
As a student, he conducted research during two academic years and an intervening summer with Dr. Graham Peaslee, who is a professor of chemistry and chairperson of the department as well as a professor of geology and environmental science. Their project studied the aquatic toxicity of various nano-particle solutions.
Helderop's activities as a student also included the Beta Beta Beta biology honorary society and biology club; the Phelps Scholars Program; ultimate Frisbee; intramurals; and the independent music, swing and outdoor adventures clubs. He also participated in the college's May Term course in Ecuador.
He is the son of Mary Lou Helderop of Grand Rapids and the late John Helderop.
Fulbright grants are made to U.S. citizens and nationals of other countries for a variety of activities, primarily international graduate study, advanced research, university teaching, and teaching in elementary and secondary schools. Grant recipients include recent college graduates and graduate students, college and university instructors, and professionals in other fields.
The U.S. Student Program is designed for recent college graduates, master's and doctoral candidates, young professionals and artists, with awards supporting an academic year of study, research or teaching assistantship experience. The program operates in more than 140 countries worldwide.

Uncle Buck
Amidst all of the (well-deserved) praise for Judd Apatow's recent successes as a writer-director-producer, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that he's following a trail that was pretty well blazed by John Hughes twenty years ago. Like Apatow, Hughes made a name for himself by using a tight-knit group of collaborators to make a series of comedies that were at times slapstick, at times raunchy, at times high brow, and at all times built around a strong, essentially heartwarming story of personal growth.
Uncle Buck, Hughes' penultimate film, is a great example of this. John Candy, in one of his finest performances, plays Buck Russell, a proud bachelor that has built his life around having nothing and no one to weigh him down. After a family emergency, Buck is called upon to babysit his nephew Miles (Macaulay Culkin, at his most precocious) and nieces Maizy (Gaby Hoffmann) and Tia (Jean Louisa Kelly). He quickly gains the trust and love of the young Miles and Maizy, but teenaged neice Tia is old enough to recognize Buck for the black sheep that he is, and she intends to use Buck's stay as an opportunity to get away with things her parents wouldn't allow, especially with her boyfriend, "Bug."Continue Reading

"A mandala is a simplified universe, we condense concepts into artwork under mandala form so that for hundreds of years later every time you look at a mandala, you'll see another aspect of the theme." Each mandala took months to create from start to finish. In nearly two years 2016 & 2017, in total they could only released 6 mandalas: Metal, Tree, Water, Fire, Earth and Vietnam.

|Sesquiterpenoid and triterpenoid biosynthesis - Reference pathway
|Sesquiterpenoids (C15 terpenoids) are a group of terpenoids consisting of three isoprene units. They are derive from farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) and can be cyclized to produce various skeletal structures. Sesquiterpenoid biosynthesis begins with the loss of diphosphate from FPP under the action of sesquiterpene synthesis enzymes, generating an allylic cation that is highly susceptible to intramolecular attacks. Cyclization of the farnesyl cation may take place onto either of the remaining double bonds with the result that 6-, 10-, or 11-membered rings may be formed. Many sesquiterpenoids have been isolated from plants, fungi, marine organisms, and Streptomyces species. This map shows a few examples of acyclic and cyclic sesquiterpenoids.

When Devex spoke with Nancy Lindborg in October, the U.S. Agency for International Development assistant administrator said the USAID policy and program guidance on resilience would be out "in the next few weeks." That time has come (Dec. 3 to be exact).
Speaking with Devex President Raj Kumar at the 2012 European Development Days, Lindborg shared some of the behind-the-scenes activities that led to the crafting of the strategy, like bringing together relief and development people from the Horn of Africa and Sahel to find out the key drivers of vulnerability and how to address them.
She also touched on what the new guidance specifically hopes to achieve.
"In the Horn of Africa, the plan that was produced says that by 2017, we would directly benefit 10 million people and move a million people off the emergency case load the next time a disaster hits in a focused geographic area in the dry lands of Kenya and Ethiopia," she said, adding that USAID understands such a big goal will only happen through collaborations with other international development agencies and map it against country plans.
Watch the conversation between Kumar and Lindborg on how the new strategy will impact the work on resilience of USAID's implementing partners and her tenure as chief of the agency's Bureau for Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance. This is part of a series of conversations we video-taped with global development leaders in the center of the action at EDD12 in Brussels.

I don't know if this thread will fail or not, as I don't know how many here play FIFA 15, but let's see.
Anyone keen on making a team? Lately I've been playing a lot of Pro Club, but only in drop in, and sometimes it sucks because the guys in the team won't ever pass, and just try to do everything by themselves.
So, anyone in? I haven't made a team yet.
People who won't fuck around (unless there is time and space for it), and is a good team player are welcome.
What position do you prefer? I play striker, so that's where I am going to be, lol.
Hopefully some are interested.

checks and flakes in white oak causing problems9/6
We are a high-end furniture company and we use white oak solids and veneers in our furniture. We consistently have the problem of surface checking as well as ray flecks in the wood - both solid and veneer believe it or not. We keep chalking it up to the wood, but i'm starting to think that i am missing something. Is my lumberyard not drying the wood properly? Am i not storing the lumber properly? Regardless of the cause, any suggestions on how to fix the checks/flakes when they do present themselves? Right now we fill with either epoxy or CA glue, then re-sand - very wasteful and time-consuming!!! Please help.
Sorry Dan, that's a big, "who knows?" The only advise that I can give, is to become familiar with the moisture content of your materials at various stages. Buy a moisture meter, and use it. If you find that you are laying up veneers at 10% MC onto cores at 5% MC, and they check in a couple of days, then you have an answer. Everything else is just conjecture.
Ray flecks are normal in white oak and your not going to easily get around them if your buying in large quantities of random boards. It has to do with the angle of the wood grain, i.e.. quarter sawn has a lot of rays, rift a bit less, and plain sawn is usually pretty clean.
Surface checks do have to do with the lumber and how it's dried. White oak seems to be more prone to surface checks than other lumber I've worked with. Hopefully Gene Wengert will chime in as he us very knowledgable in this area!
As far as a solution I would think trying to cut around the defects at the beginning instead of fixing them down the line would be the best bet. White oak is relatively cheap so you may be better off tossing the defects when you compare the material costs to the labor cost to repair?
good luck,
Ray fleck is normal, and it is often considered to be desirable, as it is a type of figure. This is one of the key attributes of quarter sawn oak. Medullary rays in oak generally appear in quarter sawn oak. However you may see them on edges of plain sawn oak. A pile of of plain sawn oak, will also usually have a quarter sawn board, or two mixed in as well.
I am not sure what you mean by flaking, as I have never encountered anything like that. A little tear out at times is unavoidable, and that is easily fixed with filler.
Also. White oak tends to have a coarse open grain, compared to most woods. I am wondering if you may be confusing this with checking, as the pores can be quite elongated, and large compared to other hardwoods. Standard practice is to apply a grain filler to achieve a flat surface prior to applying a film finish. Or you can leave it as is, especially when applying a finish with little to no build, such as "danish oil"
Actual surface checking (obvious cracks) is a major red flag, and it generally indicates poor drying. I have encountered this in maybe 1 or 2 pieces of white oak. I reject material with obvious cracks, and other indicators of serious drying stress.
You need a new lumber supplier. This is definitely a sawmill/drying issue. In years past, not a single piece of white oak furniture would leave the shop without a grain filler being used. Some shops would use this to also color the wood, others used natural colored filler to just make it glass smooth for the finish. This method has fallen out of favor in relation to speed to get the piece out of the shop. You may want to implement that into your work, AFTER you get a new wood supplier.
rich is right.
White Oak is hard ($$) to dry correctly, especially the thicker sections. The most prominent drying defect is checking which is separation along the medulary rays - the same rays that are desired/exposed in Quartersawn material. When they are loose, they are hard to repair.
I have a Qrtrd and Rift W Oak supplier that also supplies Stickley Furniture - and their competitors - with QS W Oak. The largest QS supplier in the US. They don't advertise here, so write me privately, and I'll tell you who to contact.
They know how to dry the material to minimize the defects you see.
Much of what you are describing is inherent of White Oak , especially QSWO . Since the WO log is so much harder and denser it will season for more years than say Red Oak before it may be milled in some cases .The wood looks shiny when cut on the chop saw closed grain so the moisture can't escape through the end of the logs well so it sneaks through the length where it may .
I think this may cause the checks , I see them in the white colored wood so closest to the edge of the log maybe .
Another issue that can cause extensive surface checking is circle mills pushing their blades when they are very dull. Not sure if your material is circle sawn or band sawn but when a band dulls it simply stops cutting but when a circle mill dulls it will still cut for some time. At that point, rather than cutting the wood fibers it actually tears them. The fibers wrap slightly around the tooth and tear back away from the cut similar to pulling a weed. A bit of this would be dealt with in surfacing but if the checking is substantial it may not be completely removed in average/normal surfacing.
If this is the case (can be tough to know unless your supplier is having a lot of complaints) there isnt much remedy for you. As I recall the only remedy is to pre-surface the green material before it goes into the kiln.
As far as the "flaking", Im wondering if your seeing a shaggy surface or if your actually having flaking like the trees suffer from shake? Hard to say. If the surface is shaggy it would be interesting to know the humidity of your shop. If your shop is damp it can really make oak shaggy in my experience.
I am agree with david r sochar message, above.
I am not going to repeat the correct and valid comments made by David and others. I would strongly support that you need a different supplier. Indeed WO, especially q-sawn, is hard to dry, but a good yard will dry it without much defect at all.
I do believe that what you are calling flaking is actually the end result of honeycomb (deep surface checking) on q-sawn oak. It can be controlled by proper drying.
Thanks everyone for all of your responses. As it turns out, i have switched my vendor and have not seen the issues arrise. I had extensive conversations about their process for drying the lumber and they assured me of their sound practices. Now i just have to wait and see that they stick to it!
Much appreciated,

Tuviya Averbukh
He was one of the first three of Bnei Yisrael and one of the first of any of the youth who went out to Hachsharah in Hechalutz in order to actualize the order of the movement. The journey was difficult, starting from the Hechalutz chapter in Kishinev (Benderskia 20) through Bilicheni to the Hechalutz chapter that was opened in Orheyev. Despite the difficulties, Tuviya remained strong and faithful to his path.
When he made aliya to the land, he pitched his tent in the valley of Ein-Badeh in the region of Nahalel along with the first ones of Bnei Yisrael. There, they worked on the road. As the son of a large and veteran family of farmers, he also desired agriculture. In his vision, he saw the group sitting on a plot of land and opening an agricultural farm. Luck went his way, and our paths split on account of the division in the Bnei Yisrael group. After some wandering through other groups, Tuviya arrived in Moshav Rashfon, where he established his family and realized his dream of opening a farm.
He was drafted into the guard unit during the disturbances of 1946, and he and his group were the first to go to any place of danger. He survived many battles with Arab gangs. Tuviya died in a work accident during the battles of the War of Independence on the eve of Passover 5708 (1948). Many tragedies befell the Averbukh family, and the tragic death of Tuviya surpassed them all. This family should remember their son and father who inscribed a bright page in the annals of the birth of Israel.

Nachum Alkushi
Nachum was one of the members of the Second Aliya, one of those about whom it can be said, I have seen those who made aliya and they were few. I first met him as I was passing through Egypt, as I recall in the first year that I arrived in the Land (5667 1907). He made aliya a short time later. After he made aliya, he called himself Alkushi (in the Diaspora he was Birnbaum). I met him among the first of the workers of Sagara. He was among a small company of agricultural workers. He worked in the field during the day and dedicated himself to communal affairs during rest times and in the evenings. Nachum, who was blessed with administrative talents, centralized the organizational activity of the Poale Zion in the Galilee region.
I met him once again during the convention of Passover 5669 (1909), and from that time, we remained in contact through letters, primarily about matters of the movement. At the time of the founding of the first Hebrew newspaper of Poale Zion Heachdut, I invited him to Jerusalem to direct the newspaper. He always fulfilled this task with diligence and dedication. During the time he was in Jerusalem, he dedicated all his free time to communal work as a member of the headquarters of the movement. During the time of the persecutions of Gamal Pasha, he went to America, where he was one of the first to answer the call to the organization of the Hechalutz and the Hebrew Brigade. He was one of the first to return with a brigade of 40 people (Kalei Hamelech) and one of the first to assist the united movement that was formed at that time, that is the movement of Achdut Avoda, which included the Poale Zion, those not a member of any faction, and some members of Hapoel Hatzair (5679 1919). He moved to Jerusalem in 5680 (1920), where he organized the first worker's kitchen, and participated in the first group of Haganah. He married his friend Miriam Meshi in 5681 (1921). They settled and set up their household in Jerusalem. Here, Nachum opened a Kupat Cholim branch, which he headed for many years. They moved to Tel Aviv in 5695 (1935). He was active in the movement and in communal life for many years. Toward the end he became seriously ill. For three years he was so ill that he could not move at all. He was forlorn and isolated.
He died in the Ziv House, and was not eulogized appropriately. However his friends from the Second Aliya remember his diligence, his talents and his boundless dedication. His memory will remain in their hearts forever.
Y. Ben Zvi
Days of greatness came to Hebrew Jerusalem in the year 5682 (1922) with the outset of the Third Aliya. There was a need to create and develop several institutions to serve the workers whose population was then growing in the city. There was a need to open a worker's kitchen, and Nachum Alkushi was called to do this with the help of several friends, all inexperienced yet full of will, talent and responsibility. There was a need to open the first Kupat Cholim infirmary, and Nachum Alkushi was asked to take care of this institution. Dr. Pruzhinin of blessed memory came at that time from the Galilee.
Nachum Alkushi stood with him as a faithful guard. He fulfilled his duties with his typical exactitude toward himself and others. He guarded every coin, demanded order, exactitude and responsibility from everyone, and even more so from himself. Indeed, thanks to this small group of the doctor, the nurse and Nachum Alkushi, the young, small institution took root, earned an honorable place, and became one of the most important and respected medical institutions in Jerusalem.
Nachum and Miriam moved from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv in 5695 (1935) on account of work in the institution. This move from Jerusalem which was so beloved to him was not simple for him, and it was not easy for him to acclimatize himself to the atmosphere of that city. There too he served the Kupat Cholim with the same dedication, knowledge and deep, true concern toward the matters that were in his hands.
He was a faithful member of the Histadrut, the community of workers, and to all of the activities of the Workers' Movement in the Land. He served Kupat Cholim and its members with true service.
May his memory be blessed.

Yaakov Yehudah and wife Beznos
He was involved with the community and pleasant to his fellowman, one of those who won his acclaim by his straightforwardness, his faithfulness and his uprightness to his fellowman.
He fulfilled a special role in the preparation of matzos for Passover, and he was the first in our city who brought machines for the baking of matzos. Before this time, all matzo baking was done entirely by hand. When the community decided to centralize the baking of matzos on the eve of Passover in its own hand, so as to increase the collection of Maos Chitin, the community council turned this over to him, and he answered willingly. He agreed to direct the activity to the best of his ability. Thereby, the Ezrat Aniim (Assistance for the Poor) society was able to expand its activities in general, and expand its assistance for the Passover holiday in particular. Yaakov Iddel's role was great in interceding on behalf of those who were particularly needy and who needed greater support. He knew the situation of each person, and his intercession was decisive. A second enterprise worthy of note in which he had first rights was the fishing enterprise in our city. In the Reat and the national pond (Yas) where there were many fisherman, the fishing was concentrated primarily in the hands of gentiles who were not professionally adept. Yaakov Iddel developed this profession for the benefit of the population. He had an additional spiritual benefit from this, in that he provided portions of fish for the needy, for the Sabbath, without any payment.
His children made aliya to the Land when they grew up. He and his wife remained in Orheyev to liquidate their property. He and his wife made aliya in 1934.
The heart of Yaakov Iddel, the working man who was upright in his ways and always concerned about his fellowman, was broken during the War of Independence which took place in the Land.
He died before his time and was brought to burial in Herzlia.

Fania Borsutsky
Fania B. was born to a wealthy, pedigreed and scholarly family in Heisin (Podolia). She grew up and was educated in Balta, where she received her education with the renowned teacher Reb Baruch Schwartz (the father of the journalist Shalom Schwartz). At that time, Sheynkin was given the position of Rav Mitaam (government appointed rabbi) in Balta, and the city became an important Zionist center in the region. Fania joined the group of those who assisted Sheynkin in his Zionist activities, and dedicated herself fully to the movement, despite the fact that the communal environment was not comfortable with Zionism. The left saw it as a bourgeois movement, and the right related to it with general disdain. She, the daughter of the bourgeois did not refrain from dedicating herself to this movement with all of her youthful energy. She worked a great deal in all areas, and dedicated herself especially to the establishment of the Zionist school in Balta, where the students were primarily the children of the poor. Fania B. participated as a delegate to the Zionist convention in Minsk in Elul 5662 (1902) along with her husband Avraham Borsutsky of Orheyev who married her that year. They moved to Orheyev.
She participated along with her husband in the Chovevei Zion convention that took place in Odessa in Cheshvan 5663 (1902).
(From the words of B. Shochtman of blessed memory, published in the Hayom newspaper.}

Mordechai and Udel Globman
His wife Udel assisted him in his communal endeavors. He took counsel and advice from her intelligent understanding and her alertness to the problems of the day, especially with regard to people who were suffering and required assistance.
Reb Mordechai and his wife Udel made aliya to the Land in the year 5684 (1924), and realized their dream of settling in the holy city of Jerusalem. They lived there until the end of their days. In Jerusalem their home served as a meeting place for those who had come from Orheyev. Reb Mordechai maintained contact for a long time with his friends in Orheyev, and exchanged correspondence with them. The letters were full of enthusiasm about the issues of the Land.
They passed away at a good old age.

Idil Yagolnitzer
Yagolnitzer was a model veteran of a youth movement whose motto was boundless dedication to the idea and the principle.
I was drawn to him while I was still involved in Gordonia. He had a unique charm that made him look young in spirit while he was old in years. His soul was and always remained young and vibrant.
He was known to all of us as an activist, who preferred the duty to the community over his own affairs. He was faithful to his nation and struggled with dedication for his civic and national rights. He struggled valiantly against any event that had an air of sycophantism, and complained against all those who learned how to bow their heads in deference and get used to being dishonest with their souls.
Even the state authorities recognized his talents and honored him for them.
He was a teacher, guide, and friend for the youth. The youth related to him like a man of vision and understanding.
He was a member of the Jewish party during the elections to national institutions. He stood as one of the candidates for the list that was to protect the interests of the Jewish population.
When he appeared as a lecturer or in public gatherings in the city, he always knew how to delve deeply into the Jewish question. He did not hesitate to fight against those who mislead and are misled.
He was faithful to his principles, and served as a personal example to his acquaintances and fans. His aliya to the Land served as an example of this.
His influence was great upon all of the youth, without concern for factional affiliation. He was considered to be one of the primary leaders in the instilling of national consciousness in the youth of Orheyev and in preparing them for the road to Zion
I loved to listen to Yagolnitzer during a debate. He was very sharp when he arranged a battle against the enemies of Zionism. He knew well how to express the complete truth and the ideological essence of Zionism. His answers were on the mark, clear and convincing. His appearances at gatherings always left a great impression, not only upon those who agreed with his outlook, but also upon his opponents. They too related to him with great honor.
He stood at the helm of the endeavor of arranging self defense. He instilled in the heart of everyone the understanding of the need for defending oneself, and he also took upon himself the distribution of weapons to the members. He was the living spirit in all events and matters where the spirit of Jewish pride and independence was felt.
I met very few Jews with as much spine in communal affairs as had Idil Yagolnitzer. His heart ached so much when he witnessed the communal activism in the Diaspora tend toward ingratiation and sycophantism.
I will always remember him as a teacher, an activist and a friend. Not only I, but all of the youth of Orheyev who were connected to him with all strands of their souls will remember him.
The publication of a book on Orheyev is perhaps the finest floral wreath over the grave of this faithful and dedicated activist who did so much to educate and guide the younger generation.
His memory should be blessed through the mouths of all his friends and fans.

SEOUL (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics Co, the world's top technology firm by revenue, reported record quarterly profit of $7.4 billion on Friday, with strong sales of its Galaxy range of phones masking sharply lower memory chip sales.
The South Korean firm said July-September operating profit almost doubled from a year ago to 8.12 trillion won, in line with its earlier estimate.
Samsung, reporting its results just hours after main rival Apple Inc, did not detail its third-quarter smartphone shipments, though these are estimated to have soared to 58 million. Apple said it shipped 26.9 million iPhones in July-September. It launched its latest iPhone 5 on September 21.
Profits from Samsung's mobile division more than doubled to 5.63 trillion won - more than two-thirds of the group's total - as sales of the Galaxy S III, introduced in late May, powered ahead of the iPhone 5 launch. Samsung is estimated to have shipped 18-20 million S IIIs in July-September.
Earnings from the chip division, where Samsung competes against Toshiba Corp and SK Hynix Inc, dropped 28 percent to 1.15 trillion won as prices of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips sagged, though a recovery in NAND flash chips, widely used in mobile devices, helped offset the weakness.
The company said it expected DRAM oversupply to run on into the current quarter, but sees a tight NAND flash memory market.
Samsung's run of four straight record quarters is likely to end in December, with profit growth slowing even more next year as TV markets stagnate and growth in the high-end smartphone market eases from the recent breakneck speed. Profit growth is expected to slow to 16 percent next year from this year's forecast 73 percent, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Samsung competes against Sony Corp and LG Electronics Inc in televisions, and LG Display in screens.
Shares in Samsung have climbed 24 percent so far this year, easily outpacing the benchmark KOSPI's 5 percent gain, but only half the gains made by Apple.

Jon Huntsman Jr. did OK in Tuesday's New Hampshire Republican primary. A late surge of support carried his percentage of the vote into the double digits. He finished third, behind Mitt Romney and Ron Paul, and in a speech Tuesday night he tried hard to portray that result as evidence of a gathering storm of Huntsmentum.
"Third place is a ticket to ride! South Carolina, here we come!" said President Obama's former ambassador to China.
But Mr. Huntsman in essence bet his whole race on the New Hampshire outcome, focusing all his time and dwindling cash on the Granite State. He finished a distant third, despite some hints in prevote polls that he might catch Representative Paul for second. Another Mormon ex-governor – Mr. Romney – was the night's big winner. Is the Huntsman campaign toast?
A look inside the New Hampshire results shows that Huntsman's future on the campaign trail may not be a bright one. The former Utah chief executive has stressed his electability on the stump, but he won only 9 percent of New Hampshire voters who said in exit polls that the ability to defeat President Obama was the top attribute they wanted in a Republican candidate. Romney got 62 percent of those votes.
Nor was he the choice of self-described moderates. Romney won the largest share of those voters, too, with Paul second. In fact, the only category of voters who went Huntsman on Tuesday was Democrats, who were able to vote in New Hampshire's open primary. Huntsman took 41 percent of them. That's not a base on which a winning run at the GOP nomination is built.
[ Video is no longer available. ]
Huntsman began his campaign hoping to be the establishment alternative to Romney, but Romney so far hasn't stumbled and seems to have the Romney vote sewed up. Lately, Huntsman has toughened his rhetoric and shifted rightward, but that part of the field remains crowded. It seems unlikely that a patrician fan of Captain Beefheart is going to outmaneuver Rick Santorum and Rick Perry for the conservative vote.
"His boosters hope that [Huntsman's] surprising third-place finish will help bring in some more financial support, but there's still not much evidence he has a path to the nomination," wrote Politico's Maggie Haberman Wednesday morning.
Plus, Huntsmentum is about to hit a palmetto wall in the next primary state, South Carolina.
Where New Hampshire is quirky and libertarian, South Carolina is more evangelical and reliably conservative. Last time around, in 2008, only 18 percent of voters in the South Carolina GOP primary described themselves as independent. Almost 70 percent self-identified as conservative.
"South Carolina is essentially a non-starter for Jon Huntsman," writes the Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin Wednesday on her conservative blog "Right Turn."
The prediction market Intrade now puts Huntsman's chances of winning the GOP presidential nomination at 1.9 percent. That's ... very low. His personal wealth can keep Huntsman going, if he chooses to tap it. He could wait out a primary or two to see if Newt Gingrich's and Rick Perry's attacks on Romney as a heartless buy-out capitalist damage the front-runner. But right now he might be thinking as much about positioning himself for a possible run in 2016, if Mr. Obama wins reelection, as about the 2012 race.

By Teachers, For Teachers
Among the many titles I bear, that of cheerleader is often the most challenging. Entering the classroom day after day with a great enthusiasm, a smile from ear to ear, a little extra pep in my step, and pom poms raised high takes practice. We all have those less than great moments but I have learned over the years, that the more excited I become about learning, the more my students will be as well. The key is motivating students.
Motivation is defined as "the general desire or willingness of someone to do something" (Thank you Dictionary.com). Notice the words DESIRE, WILLINGNESS, and DO SOMETHING! Those are not often words we see in great demand in the classroom. Well, at least not in an educational way. Sure they desire to talk to their friends, they are willing to goof off or have extra recess, and are always ready to do something that doesn't require work, but getting these words to apply to a new concept or skill that can be assessed takes some finesse.
So how am I motivating students to learn? I simply try to follow the words within the definition. That is, I create a desire to know, a willingness to try, and the opportunity to do something.
Before any lesson or new skill, a "desire to know" needs to be established. One way I like to establish this desire is to write "Did you know?" on the board and list a fact relating to the lesson. For example, I just started a unit on United States symbols/themes. To introduce the unit, I posted a "Did you know?" question on the board such as "Did you know the British captured and held prisoner a man who would later be known all around the world for a poem?" I posted a picture of the prisoner (Francis Scott Key) under my did you know question. Not only have I piqued their desire to know who he was but I also got them talking about how he looks and the time period the picture displayed. I created a desire to know. Other ways to create a desire to know:
Ask or post a riddle
Trivia questions through e-mails the night before will have students engaged
Pictures of people, places, or things with engaging quotes or questions
Music or even movement
What-if questions
Who said it questions
Excerpts from videos (YouTube is great for this)
Picture books, excerpts from great stories, or author quotes
All of these methods are great spring boards into your lesson. All it takes it a little creativity on your part to get their attention. Once you have the attention, you can move towards obtaining their willingness or, as I like to think of it, maintaining attention, to learn more.
I find this to be easier once I have established the desire to know. Take for example the picture of Francis Scott Key I posted under my did you know. Once the students wanted to know the answer and we had talked about the picture, I could engage them in the lesson. From this five minute introduction, I gained their attention and they were willing to continue discovering more.
Other methods of maintaining attention include:
Moving around the room frequently. While I am teaching I move. This has dual purposes for me, 1) I can tell who is paying attention because they are moving their eyes/heads as I move about the room and 2) it allows me to quietly settle any disturbances with a slight touch, a tap on the desk, or silencing a tapping pencil.
When reading, solving math problems on board, or asking questions, randomly select someone. I do this by selecting a Popsicle stick with a child's name from a jar.
Let them be the teacher. When you know you have had the attention of a student, to assess their understanding and keep focus in class, allow them to come and explain or be the teacher.
Give the students a break before moving into a new lesson or even in the middle of a longer lesson. This year I started using brain breaks (found on Pinterest) and kids love them. I can obtain their attention longer because they know they will get a chance to be a little silly for at least 2-3 minutes.
Pour on the drama. Don't be afraid to be a little "theatrical" in presenting a lesson. Laugh, be silly. Let them see you having fun. (It is OK to have fun in the classroom!)
Allow students to take an active role in their learning. We were learning density last week and I noticed a few blank stares. I knew I was losing them. Instead of continuing, I pulled out water bottles from our recycling bin, and had the students add water from the water fountain. Since I did not tell them what we were doing, I had their undivided attention. I then brought out a container of vegetable oil and passed it around the room. I asked the students to look at both the oil and the water. Which did they think had more density (again reviewing the definition)? They expressed their thoughts and then I proceeded by allowing each to pour some oil into the water bottle, tighten the lid, and shake vigorously. The result, the oil floated on top of the water even after being mixed. What did they learn? They learned not only the definition of density but also an example they could see and touch. They gained an understanding by doing. Other ways of encouraging students to do something.
Allow them to engage in group discussions. Of course you may have to monitor a bit, but this allows them the need to exercise their jaw muscles.
Create individual or partner projects for students to enhance their learning
Role playing
Short writing assignments or journaling
Drawing or creative presentations
Use of internet and other technology
To claim all the above suggestions are easy, quick, and 100% effective methods to motivating your students, would be a false statement. Keeping students motivated especially in the world of technology and other distractions, takes work. I am always researching new creative ways to present my lessons. Some ideas work, others do not. Since each class is different, each child is different, there is no one set way. It is hit or miss. Persistence, and a willingness to try new methods, has made me more successful over the years and in the end, my students benefit. This of course is truly what motivates me.
What methods do you use to motivate your students?

Explainer: 2009 Weird Science Awards
Far out, man! The top vote-getter in the 2009 Weird Science Awards is the story about the 2,700-year-old marijuana stash. Archaeologists found the still-green plant material in a grave uncovered in China's Gobi Desert. They believe that the marijuana was buried along with an ancient shaman as a mark of high respect. And speaking of "high" ... lab tests showed that the once-potent pot had lost its psychoactive effect over the centuries. Click "Next" to see the nine other Weird award-winners, and click on the highlighted links to learn more.
Centuries-old jokes live on
Did you hear the one about the guy who complained that the slave he was sold had died? The other guy says, "When he was with me, he never did any such thing!" That joke, found in a 1,600-year-old Greek manuscript, sounds very much like the Monty Python comedy troupe's "dead parrot" sketch. The dead-slave tale and other ancient gags were revived onstage recently by British comedian Jim Bowen, just to prove that old jokes (unlike old parrots) never die.
Shark's virgin birth confirmed
It may sound sacrilegious, but scientists used DNA tests to prove that the progeny of a female Atlantic blacktip shark was conceived without the aid of a male. This is the second documented case of asexual reproduction, or parthenogenesis, in a shark species. Aptly enough, the "virgin birth" took place at the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center.
Fame for four-eared feline
A cat named Yoda made a big splash during the summer of 2008, thanks to his crazy kitty ears. He was born with an extra set of outer ear flaps, or pinnae, and once the photo was posted on the Internet ... well, the rest is hiss-tory. "For the past few days, our phone has just been ringing off the hook," said Ted Rock, Yoda's owner. The trait is rare among mammals, but not all that rare.
Scientists create mind reader
What are you thinking? Japanese researchers say they've developed a system for figuring out what your brain is visualizing. In one experiment, they flashed letters on a screen, recorded the brain patterns of people who were looking at the screen, and fed the data into a computer. The software deciphered the rough shapes of the letters: N-E-U-R-O-N, as shown in the lower row of this image. (Neuron is the name of the journal in which the research was published.) The researchers said the technology could be used as communication for people who cannot speak, or help visualize hallucinations as an aid for medical treatment. Theoretically, the contraption could reveal what you're thinking about, or dreaming about. Is that totally weird ... or totally scary?
Tree shrew is world-class boozer
This is one party animal that can really hold its liquor: Researchers have found that the Malaysian pen-tailed tree shrew subsists on a diet roughly equivalent to 100 percent beer, drinking up the fermented nectar of the flower buds of the bertam palm plant. The nectar's alcohol content can go as high as 3.8 percent, but the animals never show signs of getting drunk. "If we can figure out why these animals are able to cope with it perhaps it could be used to develop medicines to help people deal with alcohol poisoning," the University of Bayreuth's Frank Wiens said.
Real-life Furbys rediscovered
Tarsiers are weird-looking primates found in Southeast Asia, and the weirdest species in the bunch is the pygmy tarsier. These critters are native to the highlands of an Indonesian island, but were thought to be extinct for decades. In 2008, researchers finally tracked live specimens of the pygmy tarsier, which looks like a living version of the Furby electronic toy.
Penguin gets a wetsuit
You'd think a penguin would be used to being cold and wet — but when you're getting old and your butt is bald, even penguins need a little high-tech help. So biologists and dive-gear specialists created a custom-made wetsuit for Pierre, a 25-year-old African penguin at the California Academy of Sciences. Now Pierre is the coolest bird in the pool.
Scientists breed see-through fish
Why would you ever want to breed zebrafish that display their insides for all to see? See-through fish may sound like novelty pets, but they're really designed to show researchers how cancer spreads — and how it can be treated — in not-so-transparent human beings.
Bigfoot is just a gorilla suit
Was the Bigfoot mystery finally solved? For a while, two Georgia law-enforcement officers really stirred up a buzz with claims that they had a genuine man-ape on ice ... but their frozen specimen turned out to be a rubber gorilla suit.

Nsala soup is one of the most delicious of all Nigerian soups, this year alone I have made and eaten more of it than any other soup in Nigeria.
I enjoy lots of the foods in Nigeria but there are quite some of them that kinda tastes better and more delicious to me. 😀
Melon soup (ofe egusi) for instance is like the number one for me.
The reason is that… sometimes we like to eat a combination of two or more different soups in our home and egusi blends perfectly with most of the soups in Nigeria, sometimes I even blend with nsala soup (also called white soup).
The image below is a combination of both white soup and pounded yam.
It is the only soup in Nigeria that is made without palm oil… just like pepper soup and ewedu soup, the use of palm oil is not necessary.
You can use plain beef or assorted meat for this soup.
It is very popular in the south and eastern part of Nigeria, the efiks and Igbos are the top makers and consumers of this delicious soup.
So if you are dating or married to a man from the south or eastern part of Nigeria, you can try giving him a meal of pounded yam and ofe nsala (as the Igbos call it) tonight.
Below are the ingredients for making this delicious Nigerian soup, the ingredients below would serve about five persons for three consecutive times.
Soups in Nigeria can be refrigerated for up to two weeks, most times it is better to make lots of soups and then refrigerate the remainder.
Ingredients For Ofe Nsala
Serving 12
Preparation time: 80 minutes
Yam (six to eight slices…baby fist size)
Ground crayfish (1 cup)
3 seasoning cubes
1 teaspoon Uziza seeds
1 cup sliced uziza seeds
Dried or smoked fish (two medium sizes)
Snails (Optional)
2 kg Goat meat
handful sliced utazi leaves
Salt and Pepper to taste.
In the image below, you find assorted meat, stockfish head, uziza seeds (top of the white plate), uziza leaves, smoked fish and a cup of crayfish.
You might wanna start by peeling and boiling the yam, this should be pounded with a mortar and pestle.
Pounded yam serves as the thickener for nsala soup
Grind the crayfish, uziza seeds, wash and slice the uziza seeds.
You can wash snails with alum to remove the slimy fluid, although, you would be amazed to learn that there are people in Nigeria that cooks snails with the slimy fluids, sometimes without even removing the shell.
I am talking about a delicious Ijaw Recipe – Keke Fieye
Parboil the assorted meat with all the necessary ingredients, I would use two cubes of knorr, a pinch of salt, half cup of sliced onions and half sachet of kitchen glory (beef seasoning).
I made this soup with assorted beef, it's usually a combination of different parts of cow meat – intestine, tripe, liver etc. I also added a few slices of goat meat.Parboil the meat for about twenty to forty minutes… until it is soft enough for consumption then you can go ahead and add the hot-water-washed dry fish. This could be added earlier if you are using a strong dry fish like mangala. Add about 3 cups of cold or boiled water.
The amount of water for nsala soup depends on the ingredients/thickener available and the number of people that you are making the soup for.
Boil the combination for another ten to twenty minutes until they are both soft for consumption then go ahead and add the ground crayfish, uziza seed and ground red pepper (pls taste before adding red pepper, the uziza seeds are also very pepperish).
Taste your soup at this time and add the remaining half of kitchen glory or a cube of knorr/salt to improve the taste if it doesn't taste nice yet.
You can go ahead and add the pounded yam, you can add half and watch the soup for the next five minutes, if it is not thick enough you can add a little more; I just don't like the soup to be very thick. I like a very light nsala soup, it tastes better that way.
You can now go ahead and add the sliced uziza and utazi leaves. The utazi should be used sparingly for white soup; the reason is just to add a faint bitter taste.
Allow for the next few minutes and you can go ahead and serve your delicious ofe nsala with pounded yam, fufu or eba.

Hello Peace, how are u doing? Thanks for all the wonderful recipes. You are my favorite cook in the world, I have been trying some of your recipes and I just want to know if I can use cocoa yam for nsala soup. I just want to know why most people prefer to use pounded yam when cocoa yam (the normal soup thickener) is easier to get

Sorry but Igbos make the best Nsala soup. The uziza leaf and taxi leaf you used is too much and also the soup is too thick, Nsala is best when it's a bit runny but in all you thanks for sharing your own tips.

September 10, 2018
Hello, you are really doing a great job here, I refer to your site often. I was going to your nsala soup recipe and I noticed you said its the only soup in Nigeria made without palm oil but that is not correct. One am very sure of is the traditional delicacy of the Idoma people of Benue state, it is called Okoho soup made without palm oil or any vegetable, it was strange to me but I tried it and enjoyed it. Am sure there are other soups like that too
March 28, 2019
Pls I want to cook white soup n I can't pound n there is no light to blend d yam, can I use poundo yam? Expecting ur reply soonest… Thanks
June 11, 2019
Chy, can I use fresh fish instead of meat?
December 18, 2019
Hi, thanks for the insight, has been helpful indeed
Can I use powdered cocoyam in place of yam as we don't have yam where I live

On Board for Lowe Syndrome.
Skaters Set to Cross America by Board
A team of California skateboarders is poised to make history this summer. The group, including some of the legendary figures in the sport, will kick off August 2nd in Newport, Oregon on a cross-country board trek that will take them nearly 3,000 miles. For some of the skaters, it will be a repeat performance.
Jack Smith, organizer of the venture known as Skateboarding Across America - On Board for Lowe Syndrome, first crossed the nation by skateboard back in 1976, joining two friends on a record-setting push from Lebanon, Oregon, to Williamsburg, Virginia, that spanned 32 days. A few years later, Smith teamed with veteran skaters Paul Dunn, Gary Fluitt and Bob Denike to improve his own mark, finishing the coast-to-coast transit in just 26 days in a trek that raised funds for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. This year he hopes to do even better.
Smith, Fluitt and Dunn will reunite in August to make a new push for the record books. With teammate Nick Krest, they plan to cut the trans-America skateboard journey to just 21 days.
"This time it will be a lot harder," Smith said. Most of us are in our 40s now, we have jobs and families, and pushing a skateboard 150 miles a day isnt so easy on old bones."
Still, the skaters are confident that their quixotic venture will be triumphant. They plan to tap a new generation of specialized skating equipment to cover the long stretches of roadway, and they expect to be joined en route by some of todays top skaters. But the real difference between this years journey and previous trips is more personal and more heartfelt than that.
Skateboarding Across America - On Board for Lowe Syndrome aims to draw attention to a rare genetic disorder that claimed the life of Smiths 14-year-old son, Jack Marshall Smith, in May of this year. Originally known as oculo-cerebro-renal or OCRL syndrome, Lowe Syndrome was identified in 1952 by Dr. Charles Lowe and colleagues. It affects only boys, causing physical and mental handicaps and a range of medical complications.
My son has been an incredible inspiration to myself and many others whose lives he has touched, says Smith. This is my chance to pay him back for all that he taught me.
To make the journey in a record-setting three weeks, the team will need to cover about 150 miles a day, no mean feat on a skateboard, even for athletes a couple of decades younger than Smith, Fluitt, Krest and Dunn. To make this possible, Skateboarding Across America hopes to attract a broad range of sponsors. All proceeds from the journey will be donated to the Lowe Syndrome Association.
Details of the cross-country skateboard trek, including the teams itinerary, have been posted at www.ncdsa.com.
Information aboutLowe Syndrome is available at www.lowesyndrome.org.
