Rusyns are Ukrainians (don't listen if they say they aren't), so you are a Ukrainian Orthodox.Which does not really matter much in any sense other than merely cultural, because all Orthodox are Orthodox.
Oh no, you have no idea where this "Rusyns are Ukrainians" statement is going to go Yuri. I'm going to grab a pepsi and popcorn and watch as this show unfolds.
Carpathian are also Nordic correct? There seemed to be a link with a Viking heritage tying all the way back to the Romanians and the Danubs.
What is the specific adjective I would use to describe my affiliation in Orthodoxy? I am in ACROD. If I were in GOARCH, I would be Greek Orthodox, ROCOR, Russian Orthodox... and so on... Romanian Orthodox, Ukrainian Orthodox, Serbian Orthodox... But I don't how to pinpoint the adjective for ACROD. Would I be Carpatho-Rusyn Orthodox? Ruthenian Orthodox? Russian Orthodox?American Orthodox?
I was in ACROD for 22 years of my life. I said I was American orthodox. Although this probably had to do with my strong dislike for "Rusyn" nationalism.-Nick
Well lets mix this up even a bit more.Ukrainians are Russians too!
While my sympathies definitely lie with Ukrainians vis-a-vis "Muscovite propaganda" as George put it, by principle they also lie with ethnic Rusyns vis-a-vis "Kyivite propaganda".
Point taken. Sorry, I am a mouthpiece of the Kyivite propaganda.
Mazeppa rides again.
There's a new book out (2006) by Serhii Plokhy called The Origins of Slavic Nations.I've only browsed the introduction, but it seems he's setting out to examine the birth and historical trajectory of the Slavic nations without being biased by previous "Kievan" or "Muscovite" political/historical influence. At least that's his stated goal. I'll let you know how it turns out. Until I hear otherwise, Ukraine will still be "little russia". http://www.amazon.com/Origins-Slavic-Nations-Premodern-Identities/dp/0521864038
And what's wrong with Ivan Stepanovych Mazepa? Who did more for Ukrainian Orthodox churches, who built the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, who donated a good half or more of all his personal treasures to monasteries (his mother was a nun), to hospitals, etc.? Mazepa was a great man, a true hero of my people... He was maligned, libeled - they made up a story that he was trying to "sell" Ukraine to the Swedes, while he actually only sought a temporary military alliance with the Swedish king, to oust the satanic tsar Peter from his land, to preserve those ancient customs of freeeeeeeedom (see "Braveheart...") Thank you. I haven't read this book, but Serhiy is a good old friend of mine, we met when my family and I lived in Seattle.
Must be nice knowing him personally.
I have no problem with Mazepa- it was only in jest. Have you ever read the Church's anathema on Mazepa? Ouch.
Oh, yes! He is about my age (~50), and still a Ukrainian citizen like myself, even though he lives in Canada and I live in the US since 1990. He is very erudite and an extremely nice guy. I look forward to everything he writes. Thanks again for the information about his book. OK, sorry for my thickness, I did not get your irony about Mazepa. The anathema was actually lifted by the Russian Orthodox Church itself: a representative of His Holyness Patriarch Tikhon read the text of the lifting of the anathema during a meeting on the St. Sophia Square in Kyiv in 1918 or 1919. I don't have a link at hand, but I do remember reading that it actually did happen. Of course, sadly, Patriach Tikhon was martyred by the Bolsheviks, and everything he did to restore the peace with this "nationalist" Ukraine was buried by the Bolshevik powers-that-be...
About Mazepa:Mazepa's decision to abandon his allegiance to the Russian Empire was considered treason by the Russian tsar and a violation of the Treaty of Pereyaslav. However others argue that it was Imperial Russia who broke the treaty, because it failed to even try to protect the Cossack homeland while busy fighting abroad[citation needed]. The image of a disgraceful traitor persisted throughout Russian and Soviet history. The Russian Orthodox Church excommunicated him. A positive view of Mazepa was taboo in the Soviet Union and considered as a sign of "Ukrainian bourgeois nationalism". During the years of Perestroika, however, many historical works saw light which viewed Mazepa differently. After Ukraine's independence in 1991, Mazepa was proclaimed a national hero in Ukraine's official historiography and mainstream media[citation needed], because he was the first post-Pereyaslav Treaty hetman to take a stand against the Tsar, who failed to ratify that Treaty. This view however is still disputed by the pro-Russian factions. Mazepa's portrait is found on Ukrainian currency - the 10 hryvnia bill.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Mazepa(A couple things I might add: the so-called Peter the "Great" was a very sick man, an epileptic, who was notorious for his hatred of the Church; as a youth, he embraced a very ungodly lifestyle in the so-called "Kokuj" or the "German Village" near Moscow, where he befriended a Scottish Calvinist named Patrick Gordon, and a number of others who were extremely hostile to Orthodoxy; he abandoned his lawful wedded wife, Natalia Naryshkina, and had her imprisoned in a monastery against her will; as an already mature man and a Tzar, he organized, and actively participated in, numerous drunken orgies called "Vseshutejshyje Sobory" (literally, "Jest Ecumenical Counsils"), where men filled with vodka were impersonating Patriarchs and Metropolitans; he "married" a German prostitute (of a Latvian and Lithuanian ethnicity) called Katarina Skavronaite, who later became an "empress" Catherine I; he ordered that there would be no successor to the late Patriach Adrian of Moscow, and by his imperial power, established the so-called "Holy Synod" INSTEAD of the Patriarchy (the structure of this "Holy" Synod being modelled, by his faithful accomplice Theophan Prokopovych, a xerox copy of the German Protestant "synodes"); during the reign of this Peter the "great" the population of the Russian empire diminished substantially, and innumerable thousands of Ukrainian cossaks were enslaved and subjected to the lethal forced labor, building foretresses and towns to glorify this "holy" ruler of what eventually became the USSR.)
I can tell you that my family is from the areas that are considered "Rusyn." But guess what, we always identified as being Ukrainian. I guess we're the few Carpathian Mountain folk that actually recognize ourselves as Ukrainian in the diaspora.
Well, region, religion, and the particular wave of immigration often had much to do with identification. When did they come to the US, if you don't mind me asking?
It really doesn't matter when we came here because the fact remains that they were Ukrainians.

- Pesto Recipe
- 3 to 4 Tbs. pine nuts
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 to 3 cups firmly packed fresh basil leaves
- 10 to 15 fresh flat-leaf parsley sprigs
- 1⁄2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
- 1⁄2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 1⁄4 cup grated pecorino cheese
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
In work bowl of Cuisinart mini food processor, combine the pine nuts and garlic. Process to chop coarsely. Add about half of the basil and process to chop coarsely. Add the remaining basil, the parsley and olive oil and process on Grind until a thick green sauce forms. If the sauce is too thin, add more basil or parsley; if it is too thick, add more olive oil.
Add the cheeses to work bowl and season with salt and pepper. Process briefly. Pour into a glass jar or other container and top with a thin layer of olive oil to prevent the surface from discoloring. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Makes 12 servings.

- Fig Galette Recipe
To make the dough, in the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, granulated sugar and salt and pulse to blend. Add the butter and shortening and pulse until reduced to 1/2-inch pieces. Add the water a little at a time and pulse until the dough just begins to come together in a rough mass.
Transfer the dough to a work surface and shape into a 5-inch disk. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours.
Preheat an oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a work surface and a rolling pin with flour. Roll out the dough into a round slightly larger than 13 inches and about 1/8 inch thick. Lift and turn the dough several times as you roll to prevent sticking, and dust the surface and the rolling pin with additional flour as needed. Use a dough scraper or an icing spatula to loosen the pastry if it sticks. Trim off any ragged edges to make an even 13-inch round. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
To make the filling, in a large bowl, gently toss together the figs, brown sugar, lemon zest and vanilla until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Uncover the dough and transfer to the baking sheet. The edges of the dough round will hang over the pan edges. Arrange the figs in a pile in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border uncovered. Fold the dough up and over the filling, pleating loosely all around the circle and leaving the galette open in the center. Brush the pleated dough with the cream. Sprinkle the almonds on top of the dough and press on them lightly to help them stick.
Bake until the crust is golden and the figs are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 40 minutes. Transfer the galette to a wire rack and let cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. Serves 6 to 8. Get the full fig galette recipe

Hello again everyone! I'm excited about this weeks reading, we are starting to see some good examples of the evolutionary process as well as some of the primary examples that helped Darwin shape his realizations. I found a few of the examples very interesting and I really enjoyed reading about the predictions that were made by two different people (Darwin & Wallace) around the same time periods, with limited knowledge of each others research. This, to me, was great to read about. Finding that multiple researchers were finding some of the same information at the same time shows me that there is a decent amount of merit to what they proposed.
When i was getting through the examples in the text there were a few things that stuck out to me and a few things I had some questions about.
1- The idea that the pollinators (Hummingbirds, Bees, etc.) had the same tendencies towards what we described as 'beautiful' flowers. Hence, causing the flowers that were more colorful and pleasing to look at to become pollinated more often and have better chances of surviving. Also falling under this same idea was the idea that the hens are more attracted to a mate that had a more flamboyant and colorful than others that looked a little more plain, again using the same presumption that they are seeing these colors the same way we see them.
2- Natural Selection. There are so many good examples of this in the book, and the way it ends up working always seems to be a cycle to me. The one i saw the cycle in the most was the Canary. The idea that the females were attracted to the males song and it caused a sort of arousal that caused the likelihood of them mating to increase. This, in turn, would help to develop more males to be born that had the more attractive song and would eventually cause more mating. This is the big concept behind Natural Selection, Right? I'm new to the details of Natural Selection and the majority of the ideas in this chapter include the female making a choice of its mate, so I wanted to clarify the process and what parameters constitute that it is indeed Natural Selection.
Okay, i don't want to take up all the main points, I hope to hear from everyone soon. Thanks again for joining me!

Oh, and I learned a new word. Pleiotropy (mutations that effect more than one trait). He mentions it when he talks about the silver fox experiment.

Montpelier should be trying to make the education tax system simpler and fairer. Instead, in the haste to cut General Fund spending, Gov. Jim Douglas would make it more complicated and less fair—increasing taxes on middle-income Vermonters and lowering them on those with higher incomes. Sound crazy? It is.
Most Vermonters agree that the fairest tax is one based on the taxpayer's ability to pay: a family's school tax obligation should go up or down along with its income.

Playground Completed Despite Rain
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
A very nice playground was built almost 15 years ago. It had slides, sandboxes and tunnels. Children who lived in the area liked to play there a lot. Then it was ruined. Someone burned it to the ground. Parents and children were very upset and sad. Many parents and neighbors hoped the playground would be rebuilt.
After the playground was destroyed, organizers got together to work on rebuilding the playground. They got new materials and were ready to rebuild. They chose a day on a weekend to start building so that people could help. The weekend they chose to rebuild was was not very good for working. It was raining. The organizers were worried that nobody would show up to help build the new playground.
Almost 400 people showed up to help! One woman said that she was very worried about the weather ruining their plans. She was extremely happy when she showed up and saw so many people there to help.
A little girl had said how nice the park used to be. Lots of children were sad when the park was burned down. She said that it was a fun park to play at.
Many people came out to help rebuild the playground. Bad weather did not stop volunteers from getting the work done. They are sure that they will finish the project on time.

MySQL founder quits Sun
Click to view"Just heard that Monty gave his resignation to Sun today," a tipster we trust writes about Michael Widenius, the Finnish-born main author of open-source database software MySQL. Sun Microsystems had aqcuired Monty's company, also called MySQL, for a cool billion in January. So who's running the show now? Best guess is Brian Aker, another prominent MySQL developer. Aker released a lightweight, Web 2.0-oriented version of MySQL called Drizzle in late July, but he's still at Sun.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This is the perfect dish to make when you find yourself alone for dinner on a blustery winter's day. I'm featuring a wonderful soup that I first made for my grandsons who shied away from the acidic taste of most tomato soups. When faced with the locked lip syndrome, grandmothers have been known to do strange things. I decided to sweeten the soup I made for them with a bit of catsup. It wasn't a drastic change, mind you. I simply replaced the tomato paste used in the soup base with catsup and the deed was done. The finished soup was slightly sweeter and picked up a bit more flavor from the seasonings in the catsup. It was really good. In fact, it was so good that even the adults enjoyed a cup or two of it and it became my pantry go-to soup. I've found that recipes I repeat in my own kitchen make perfect features to share with you. The soup is made from ingredients that can be found in any well-stock pantry, so I thought you might like to try it for your own families. I'll wager that those of you who try it will really enjoy it. Here is how this simple soup is made.
Cream of Tomato Soup...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite inspired by Saveur magazine
4 slices thick-cut bacon, finely chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
3 tablespoons catsup
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup canned tomato sauce
4 cups low-sodium chicken stock

AG wants utility chief's pay revealed
Coakley seeks halt to 'loophole' in SEC filing
Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley on Thursday called on the Securities and Exchange Commission to eliminate a reporting technicality that allowed Northeast Utilities to withhold a full accounting of chief executive Thomas J. May's pay in 2012.
May led NStar until early April, when the Boston utility merged with Northeast Utilities of Hartford and May became chief executive of the combined company. Since NStar no longer exists as its own public company, SEC rules say the company need not disclose what May earned in his last three months at NStar, including any bonuses or the millions in accelerated stock awards he was expected to receive as a result of the merger.
"While requirements over compensation filings lie with the SEC, we believe this loophole should be closed so that shareholders and the public can know the full compensation involved," Coakley, the state's ratepayer advocate, said in a statement.
Massachusetts Senate President Therese Murray said through a spokesman that Northeast Utilities' refusal to detail all of May's 2012 earnings shows that regulators should have given more scrutiny to the merger before approving it.
The situation is "one of the reasons why the Senate president was opposed to rushing the merger through without full transparency and a complete understanding of its impact on ratepayers," said Murray spokesman David Falcone.
But few other state officials and legislators with jurisdiction over financial issues or utilities would address whether Northeast Utilities should fully disclose May's compensation.
Governor Deval Patrick, whose administration played a major role in allowing the merger, declined to comment.
Senator Benjamin Downing and Representative John D. Keenan, chairmen of the Legislature's Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities, and Energy, did not respond to requests for comment. Neither did state Senator Anthony Petruccelli and state Representative Michael Costello, who chair the Joint Committee on Financial Services.
Secretary of State William Galvin, Massachusetts' top securities regulator, initially declined to comment. But his spokesman, Brian McNiff, later said: "His office, even though he regulates securities, it does not cover this sort of material. It doesn't mean he doesn't think you should be able to get this information: He just has no authority to get it."
Northeast Utilities, meanwhile, continued to refuse to disclose full details of May's 2012 NStar pay. A recent SEC filing showed May earned $4.2 million in total compensation from April 10 to the end of the year from Northeast Utilities. That's less than half the $9.2 million he earned from NStar in 2011.
But some financial documents suggest May did better than that in 2012. A 2011 SEC filing estimated May would garner roughly $9.3 million in accelerated stock awards when the merger was finalized.
Michael Durand, a Northeast Utilities spokesman, defended the publicly traded company's reporting of just nine months of May's earnings.
"We've been upfront and open by clearly providing all reportable information from last year in our [SEC] filing," Durand said. "We will continue to follow all SEC reporting requirements as we have always done."
But Scott Hempling, a Washington-area lawyer who advises state utility regulators, questioned the resistance to disclosing May's total pay, even if it's not technically required by the SEC. First, going above and beyond reporting requirements sends a positive signal to investors and the public, he said.
Second, he said, utility regulators should have particular interest in full disclosure of executive compensation because it's their job to ensure the companies are operating as best and cost effectively as they can.
"They may want to know that the company is paying enough to get the best executives there," Hempling said, and "if the company has a culture of overpaying for its executives it could mean that it has a culture of not being overly disciplined [in its overall operations]."
Regulators at the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities said earlier this week that they have kept close tabs on Northeast Utilities in the months after the merger and will take a close look at May's and other executives' pay when Northeast Utilities files a required report on the merger's effects in 2015.
Regulators, Coakley, and other watchdogs spent a year and a half reviewing the deal before it was approved with stipulations. On Thursday, the attorney general reiterated the protections her office helped win for ratepayers.
"We ensured that any compensation resulting from the merger comes out of shareholders' profits, not ratepayers' pockets," she said.
Mark McDonald, president of the New England Gas Workers Association, a legislative and public safety group, said he considers NStar one of the "better and safer gas companies in Massachusetts," and that's what leaves him puzzled as to why Northeast Utilities would refuse to disclose the Boston utility's financials for the first three months of 2012.
"What is there to hide?" McDonald asked. "Clearly they're embarrassed by it — otherwise they would just disclose it."

Inquiry Question
Reading 2
Reading 1: Tonto National Monument
Around A.D. 1150, the Salado culture, named for its dependence on the nearby Rio Salado, or Salt River, took hold in the Arizona valley now known as the Tonto Basin, where Tonto Creek joins the Salt River. The Salado culture combined customs and characteristics of several American Indian groups who lived in the area, such as the Mogollon, whose pottery styles and burial traditions they adopted. Like the Hohokam people, the Salado channeled the river's waters to create farmland in the desert. They built Pueblo-style buildings. The Salado left no written records; their stories are largely told through archeological discoveries. Archeology is the study of the past through material remains--the possessions we leave behind, or artifacts, and the marks we leave on the landscape like building foundations, trash piles or road beds, known as features.
Based on the types of things they found, such as projectile points used as weapons and stone scrapers used for cutting and working animal hides, archeologists calculated that the first American Indians passed through the Tonto Basin as early as 3500 B.C. Archeological evidence indicates that by the late 8th century, members of the Hohokam culture lived here in permanent pit house settlements. Pit houses were hollows dug into the earth and covered with a domed roof made of branches and mud.
As the population grew, people organized irrigation districts along the Salt River. Each district was responsible for the ditches, fields, and crops along a few miles of the river. District activity was centered at structures that have come to be called "platform mounds," because masonry structures were built atop man-made hills. Although some are now probably below Roosevelt Lake, the ruins of platform mounds are still scattered along the length of both the Salt River and Tonto Creek in Tonto Basin.
By 1300 the growing population and shrinking amount of resources pushed the Salado people to spread throughout the region. Some Salado moved from the valley floor and settled in the hillsides, a few soaring 2,000 feet high. Others built settlements on plateaus and in shallow caves above Tonto Basin.
In the alcoves the Salado built structures from siltstone rock that littered the caves, and plastered their buildings with mud. Archeological excavation of Salado cliff dwellings in Tonto National Monument tells us that people of the Salado culture, like the Hohokam, farmed the rich soil of the Tonto Basin. Analysis of plant materials and seeds recovered from the soil reveals that they grew corn; beans; pumpkins; cotton; and amaranth, a type of grain. Evidence also suggests that the Salado supplemented farmed crops with the buds, leaves, and roots of a wide variety of native plants, including prickly pear and saguaro cactus, and such trees as mesquite, black walnut, sycamore, and hackberry. The yucca plant was valued for its edible buds and stalks; its fiber was woven into rope, mats, clothing, and sandals. Tips of the plant's stiff leaves were used as sewing needles and a type of soap was extracted from its roots. Analysis of recovered animal remains indicates that the Salado hunted local deer, rabbit, quail and other small game for food and fashioned tools from the bones.Dwellings and Culture
On a cliff high above the Tonto Basin, ruins now known as the Upper Cliff Dwelling consisted of 32 ground floor rooms, eight of which had a second story. Archeologists think that the Salado used terraces and rooftops of the structures for work and recreation. Debris from ancient fires tell us that fire pits were dug into the floors. The Lower Cliff Dwelling included 16 ground floor rooms, three of which were two story structures. Ladders and hatchways in the ceilings provided access to the second stories and rooftops. Based on the artifacts found in certain areas, archeologists determined that some rooms were used as living space, while others were work rooms where people ground grain and other plant products. Still other rooms were storage rooms and held surplus food and various tools.
The Salado knew and used their surroundings well. They learned to cultivate crops in small patches of fertile land on the craggy hillsides. They collected rain water for later use. Some group members wove textiles from native plants, including cotton; others made pottery from local red clay and decorated the vessels with intricate black and white designs. The unique style of black and white designs on red pottery is associated with the Salado culture. However, archeologists found that not all ceramics were decorated. They believe that plain pottery was used for daily use and decorated ware was probably reserved for ceremonies. Because Salado pottery was found throughout the Southwest, decorated ware may also have been used for trade with other American Indian groups.
The presence of seashells commonly found in California and feathers from Mexico suggest that the Salado may have been part of an expansive trade network exchanging goods and technological ideas from what is now Colorado to the Pacific shore. Burial practices and cremations of the Salado, similar to those found in cemeteries of other groups, provide additional evidence of the exchange of goods and ideas with various native tribes. The Salado population grew as people migrating from surrounding areas joined the community. They incorporated features of their own lifestyle, creating the unique Salado culture.
Experts widely agree that the Salado walked away from their cliff dwellings sometime around A.D. 1450. By this time, the population had grown so large that demand and overuse led to a scarcity of resources, and the quality of life declined. Internal strife, drought, and disease are other likely factors that caused the Salado to abandon their lofty homes. While experts believe they know why the Salado left, no one knows for certain where they went. It is widely agreed, and archeological research supports the theory that the Salado dispersed into smaller groups. It is thought that some Salado returned to a way of life based on hunting and gathering food, while others joined various settled cultural groups. Still others, it is believed, formed their own agricultural communities. Additional archeological investigations may provide more clues.Ruins Discovered
Rugged natural terrain, remoteness and natural camouflage isolated and protected the Salado cliff dwellings until the mid-1870s when ranchers, soldiers, adventurers and settlers found their way into the Tonto Basin. The discoveries here and elsewhere in the American Southwest sparked a fascination with American Indian art and culture in both the public and scientific domains. The newly formed Archeological Institute of America commissioned anthropologist and historian Adolph F. Bandelier to explore the region. Bandelier spearheaded ethnographic and archeological research of the American Southwest by conducting the first systematic survey and careful exploration of the area in 1880. (Ethnography is the branch of anthropology that deals with the scientific description of specific human cultures.)
When Roosevelt Dam was constructed, between 1906 and 1911, some of the evidence of settlements and irrigation canals used by the early Salado were submerged beneath Roosevelt Lake. At the same time, the concentration of people working on the dam brought more attention to the dwellings. To protect Roosevelt Lake's watershed, President Theodore Roosevelt designated Tonto National Forest in 1905, incidentally providing some federal protection to the hundreds of archeological sites in Tonto Basin. Vandalism and relic hunters further threatened the area, however, and motivated President Roosevelt to add more protection for the site under the newly signed Antiquities Act of 1906.
While many questions still remain unanswered, most of what we know about the Salado people and how they lived in their desert environment was learned through archeology. It took conservation legislation like the Antiquities Act of 1906 to ensure protection for the Salado cliff dwellings and cultural remains; to build on the methodical study begun by Adolph Bandelier; and to open the site to systematic investigation, preservation, and interpretation to the public. Preservation and conservation under the Antiquities Act brought new life to the ancient ruins as visitors walk through rooms once home to the region's first settlers and wonder at displays of exquisite pottery, textiles and structures fashioned here hundreds of years ago.
Tonto National Monument is just one example of the important places recognized by this significant act of legislation. By establishing a national interest in protecting archeological sites and artifacts, the Antiquities Act of 1906 gives a voice to people who left behind no written record, but whose culture is part of our national heritage.

UT Dallas Ties for First Place at 'World Series of Chess'
Chess Team Earns First Place for the Third Year in a Row, Sending the Team to President's Cup
Dec. 31, 2012
The UT Dallas chess team tied for first place at the Pan-American Intercollegiate Team Chess Championship, known as the "World Series of Chess."
From Dec. 27 to 30 at Princeton University, the team competed against one of the most competitive fields since the tournament's inception in 1946. Among the 44 teams at the tournament, UT Dallas faced such schools as Yale University, The University of Chicago, Texas Tech and The University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
Chess team coach Rade Milovanovic holds the UT Dallas team's first-place trophy from the Pan-American Intercollegiate Team Chess Championship. The winning team included (from left) Milos Pavlovic, Conrad Holt, Cristian Chirila, Julio Sadorra and Valentin Yotov.
UT Dallas played Webster University in the championship round, which ended with a 2-2 tie.
"The Webster team had an average rating of 2691. That's the highest team rating in the history of the Pan Am. We played together as a team and held our ground," said Jim Stallings, the UT Dallas chess program director.
The first-place finish marks the 10th time since 2000 that UT Dallas has won or tied for first in the tournament. In the two previous years, the team won back-to-back victories, with undefeated records.
"Even though we won in 2011 and 2010, we didn't go into the tournament expecting to take first. We were rated at No. 2 going in and knew it would be an uphill battle to keep the top spot. This year was the largest tournament since 1986, and every team had a chance to win. Anyone can win at any time; that's the nature of college chess," Stallings said.
The winning team included sophomore Valentin Yotov, junior Cristian Chirila, senior Julio Sadorra and sophomore Conrad Holt. All four UT Dallas students hold the highest chess ranking of Grandmaster. Two alternates also played on the team during the course of the tournament: International Masters Milos Pavlovic and Sal Bercys, the team captain, won their games.
"Julio Sadorra's championship round win against Webster put us in a position to tie for first. It was an impressive game. I'm very proud of our players. They prepared all year for this moment, and they accomplished their goal," added Rade Milovanovic, the team's coach.
UT Dallas will face the other three top teams from the Pan-Am that qualified for the 2013 President's Cup, also known as the "Final Four of College Chess." The other teams will be Webster University, The University of Maryland, Baltimore County and The University of Illinois. That event will be held in Washington, D.C., in March.

It�s been two weeks since Gaston commissioners made the bold move to trade County Manager Jan Winters for someone else, reject his proposal to raise the tax rate 5.4 cents and instead hit taxpayers with a 3.5-cent tax hike � all without passing a budget to show just how the additional money would be spent.
In accepting Winters� forced resignation, the majority of the board voiced support for new leadership, new ideas about balancing the budget and ways to reduce spending.
Finding ways to reduce government spending is always a good idea. We wish commissioners well in their endeavor, especially investigating the possibility of privatizing government functions.
Private enterprise, with its responsibilities to investors, succeeds or fails on the ability to operate efficiently.
Government, with its ability to raise taxes to keep its coffers filled, too often spends on bloated bureaucracy and programs that are both inefficient and ineffective. Small special interest groups can keep those programs going long past their usefulness.
When commissioners meet again on July 30, Gaston County taxpayers will be looking for more information about how additional revenue from the 3.5-cent tax hike will be spent.
Winters based his tax increase proposal on paying off school bonds approved by voters in 2006 and 2007 before the economy went sour.
If commissioners can cover the additional cost of retiring the bonds � money borrowed and already spent � for the lower tax increase of 3.5 cents, taxpayers will be better served.
After commissioners parted company with Winters, Commissioner Tracy Philbeck said he and others supporting a change in managers felt the county needed someone who was more in line with the ideals and direction of the board.
As the board moves forward in their search for a new county manager, we encourage them to do so with unsurpassed openness that fosters the public�s trust.
Winters� resignation came with little awareness by the public that commissioners were unsatisfied with his performance. Between Winters and board members, there could have been indicators of dissatisfaction. Commissioner Mickey Price said much came out during the closed-door session in which Winters tendered his resignation. Unfortunately, Price would not elaborate.
Whether taxpayers individually supported Winters or not, a transparent selection process for a new county manager will go a long way toward creating the partnership between government and taxpayers that leads to a better Gaston County.
The bold move by commissioners is now history. It will be interesting to watch how it translates into future government for the people of Gaston County.

Green Day, Ringo rock Hall of Fame ceremony
When the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies return here every few years to the hall's spiritual and literal home, music history often ignites. Such was the case Saturday night at the 30th annual gathering, which saw the inductions of Ringo Starr, Bill Withers, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Green Day, Lou Reed and the "5" Royales.
They love rock 'n' roll. Black leather-clad Joan Jett and her Blackhearts opened the show at a sold-out Public Hall by tearing through early hits Bad Reputation and Cherry Bomb (the latter aided by Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl on guitar and vocals, and original bass player Gary Ryan). She then introduced friend Tommy James to sing psychedelic pop hit Crimson and Clover, a 1968 hit for him that became a 1981 cover hit for her. Grohl and Miley Cyrus joined in on vocals (as did the audience). Cyrus then took to the podium to induct the group wearing a midriff-baring top (and not the pasties she was seen in earlier).
Cyrus who, at 22, is more than 30 years the junior of the Godmother of Punk, said she remembered early on wanting to have sex with the singer, whom she called "a wonder woman," an admirable activist and a "bada– babe on the planet." Jett choked up during the long standing ovation that greeted her arrival at the podium, then acknowledged Cyrus as "another strong woman who does things her way." Before calling out the names of her bandmates in her first group, the Runaways, Jett noted that "rock 'n' roll is an idea and an ideal. Sometimes we forget the political impact it has on people around the world. … It's about giving a voice to people who weren't satisfied with whatever box they were put into.''
Members of Fall Out Boy inducted the pop-punkers Green Day (Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnst and Tré Cool), joking that it was appropriate since fans often confuse the groups when posing for pictures in airports with fans. Armstrong, wearing a floppy tuxedo bow tie, honored his elders — Elvis, The Who, the Rolling Stones, Kool & the Gang, Def Leppard — adding, "I feel like my record collection is sitting here in this room.'' The group then showered the collected stars and fans with smart, sharp and furiously paced versions of American Idiot, When I Come Around and Basket Case. Armstrong's voice was especially clear and strong and bratty on Basket Case.

Join us for a great workshop to proof self control in your dog. This is a great challenging workshop for dogs who have basic obedience under their belts. Self-control games include exercises that require the dog to hold a position despite severe distractions and a high arousal level.

embrace the unexpected
by Annie B. Bond
by Annie B. Bond
Despite the fact that your ego hates unpredictability, the truth is that you have benefited from it again and again. Think for a moment about the unexpected opportunities that have come your way, offers of help you never anticipated, sudden brainstorms and inspirations, impulsive decisions to move or to talk to a stranger that opened new horizons. This is the natural way to live. "Your life is already organized within itself," Merlin said. "Life flows from life, the bud unfolds into the flower, the child ripens into the adult. Trust in each stage, celebrate it, and allow the next one to come to you effortlessly."

How to Age-Proof Your Memory
Alzheimer'sGetty ImagesRemember those card-matching games you used to ace? Get your game (and memory) back with our guide to staying smart through the ages.
While ransacking your purse in search of your cell phone, it dawns on you: Youre talking on it. So you keep chatting away, surely on the verge of a clever remark … but what were you saying again? Hey, we all have a brain lapse now and thenand judging by the Sudoku craze and the boom in video games and gizmos designed to boost our memoriesforgetting is contagious. Thats why weve collected age-specific tricks to keep you sharp.
In your 30s
De-stress. Stress is a chronic state for many women in their 30sespecially working mothersand it takes a huge toll. "Stress is toxic to the brain," says Denise Park, PhD, a cognitive neuroscientist at the Center for Brain Health at the University of Texas at Dallas. The bodys stress response floods the brain with powerful hormones. In the short-term, that helps you focus and cram to meet a deadline, but over time it kills neurons and damages memory centers. When youre about to boil over, simmer down with progressive muscle relaxation. Tense and release each muscle group, starting with your forehead and working down the body. Get physical too. Exercise burns off stress.
Drink ... a little. Instead of partying hard on weekends, have a drink each night with dinner (even half will do). Scientists think a little alcohol (a beer, mixed drink, or glass of wine all have the same effect), which thins the blood, may help improve blood flow in the brain. Alcohol also increases good cholesterol. The amount is critical, however: Several studies suggest that women who binge-drink have more trouble focusing, remembering, and planning, and people who dont drink seem to do worse in cognitive tests than glass-a-day types, Harvard University researchers found.
In your 40s
Unplug. When you forget where youve parked, it may feel like youre losing your mind. But its more likely that you forgot to use your head. Focus! "The first step to remembering is paying attention in the first place," says Gary Small, MD, director of the University of California, Los Angeles, Center on Aging and author of The Memory Bible: An Innovative Strategy for Keeping Your Brain Young. At work, set aside daily chunks of time to unplug from email, instant messages, and workplace chatter. When parking in a big lot, check and recheck landmarks.
Monitor your mood. You cant remember or concentrate on anything, and nothing seems new or interesting anymore? A Harvard study showed that women approaching menopause have nearly twice the risk for developing depression, a contributor to memory loss. This can be a vicious cycle: A depressed woman worries that shes losing her mind, so she gets more depressed and even more forgetful. If you start feeling low most days or arent enjoying things you used to, tell your doctor. Talk therapy and antidepressants are proven helpers. And 30 minutes of exercise at least three times a week may fend off the return of depression better than the popular antidepressant Zoloft, according to research from Duke University.
In your 50s
Gossip. When youre sending the last kid off to college, solving your partners newest midlife crisis, and trying to meet your companys budget deadline, its easy to let friendships slide. Dont! Ten minutes of talking actually boosts memory and thinking speed afterward, according to new research. "It takes a lot of mental workyoure paying attention, trying to figure out where somebody is coming from, and sometimes biting your tongue," says study author Oscar Ybarra, PhD, a psychologist and researcher at the University of Michigans Institute for Social Research. This kind of interaction may be as useful as doing crossword puzzles or taking reading-comprehension tests. "Socializing," Ybarra says, "helps you navigate the real world."
Master something new. You may think you know it all by now, but its important to keep challenging your your brain, says cognitive neuroscientist Denise Park. If you always read romance novels or mysteries, commit to a challenging biography or classic novel. Instead of the same old cruise, plan a European vacation and use maps to navigate new cities. Sudoku? Fine, but play other games as well. Games that become a habit can quickly stop challenging your brain. "Its just like at the gym," Park says. "Keep lifting the same amount of weight, and your muscles stop responding. You need to cross-train your brain too."

text: It's safe to say that the last couple years of Lute Olson's life have been difficult. Health problems and a nasty public divorce led him to miss most of last season on the bench at Arizona and walk out on his team just before this one began. But it seems that the split from his wife, Christine, is even crazier—and scarier—than we thought. On October 23—the day Olson announced his retirement—Christine Olson showed up at the office of Dr. Steven Knope, Lute's physician and the man who would later reveal that the coach had a stroke within the last year. She had called the office three times that day asking to speak to Knope, but had been denied, and after waiting in the reception area for 20 minutes, she stormed into his empty office and left behind a little present. It was a paper outline of a human body used for target practice at a shooting range. Oh, and this one had 25 bullet holes in it. Needless to say, Knope has gone all "restraining order" on Christine Olson, who has claimed in the past that Knope "destroyed her marriage." How that might have gone down is anybody's guess, but we think that whatever problems may exist between these good people, they aren't going to be settled over a quiet cup of coffee. Or a fun day out at the gun range. "Lute's doctor gets restraining order against coach's ex-wife" [Arizona Daily Star]

It seems the older I get, the more I hate winter. I love snow, but I hate driving in it and it gets dark so freakin early that you miss those happy sunshine-y days. This winter, I've got a game plan and I'm not going to end up stuck inside, bored and munching on a plate of Christmas cookies.
What's my secret? I'm going to embrace the cold. There are so many activities to keep you busy even with snow on the ground, there's just no excuse to be a winter bum. The nice thing is that most of these activities end up being a workout in and of themselves, which is great especially if you can't stomach running on a treadmill all winter long.
Snowshoeing is probably going to be the number one thing I get into this season. I live around many parks and nature preserves that allow for great hiking, but obviously deep snow can provide numerous challenges. Snowshoes are the perfect winter hiking accessory. They allow for more stability while walking in snow and ice, but also they are huge calorie burners!!! We're talking 480 calories an hour just going at a walking pace. Not only that, but they are easy, easy, easy to use! If you can walk, you can snowshoe. It is also low impact, so if you have knee problems or other health issues this is a great option! There is little equipment required. Snowshoes, boots of any kind and warm clothes! Just remember to wear layers that you can peel off or put back on as needed. For those runners who want to trail run in the winter, snowshoes allow for running in the snow as well. It's a great activity to get you out in nature and mixes up your typical workout day.
Snowboarding and skiing are two other winter activities that, although more expensive, are a ton of fun! The amount of calories you burn depends on how hard you push yourself. Still, you are strengthening your legs and ab muscles while going down the hill, especially if you are carving down the mounting. There is equipment involved, boots, skis or board and winter clothing. Plus you'll need a lift ticket, which at a lot of places is expensive. BUT there are ways to keep the expense at a minimum. Don't go out and buy this stuff before you've at least tried it to see if you like it. Most ski hills offer rentals for the boots and board/skis so there isn't a need to purchase these things right away. Also, find out if your ski hill has discount days. If you are really ambitious, get a part time job at the ski hill. My mom did that for my brother and I as kids so that we could get family passes, for free!
Ice skating is another fun winter activity. This is much more economical than snowboarding and skiing because most ice skating rinks offer rentals and are less expensive in terms of fees to get in. On average, a 150 pound person can burn almost 400 calories ice skating at about 9 mph. Plus, it's great for date nights or family activities! What better way to mix up the winter boredom than to go ice skating? You get a workout it, you have fun and it doesn't take long to get the hang of it. Even if you fall down, you just laugh it off and keep going. If your town doesn't have an actual indoor rink, many cities will flood the parks in the winter so that people can ice skate on it.
So these are just a few ways to avoid the boredom and monotony that the winter season so often brings. I'm actually looking forward to winter now that I know I have other options than just sitting inside with the boob tube.

"Constitutions are made of paper; bayonets are made of steel." ~ French aphorism
Can Government Create Opportunity?
Last year, the Boston branch of the Federal Reserve put out a working paper which contained detailed data on the declining trend of economic mobility in the United States. According to the paper, the percentage of Americans who reside in the lowest income quintile and move up either to the middle quintile or higher has been in decline over the past three decades. This statistic should be alarming as it is indicative of stagnation within an economy that supposedly fosters the entrepreneurial spirit. Without the opportunity to create and deliver things which enhance the lives of others, society as a whole ends up being denied the work of the most constructive members. To some, it has meant that government at all levels is doing an inadequate job in addressing what appears to be a growing divide between the haves and have-nots. Calls for higher taxes to pay for programs and schemes of redistribution which would enable the less-fortunate in following their ambitions usually follow.

Washington WR James Johnson retires from football due to wrist injury
SEATTLE – Washington wide receiver James Johnson has retired from football due to a wrist injury, ending a once-promising career that was plagued by injuries.
The school announced Johnson's decision Thursday. He was expected to compete for a starting receiver spot this fall.
Johnson's career started with a flourish. He caught a touchdown pass in coach Steve Sarkisian's first game with the Huskies against LSU in 2009. Johnson caught 39 passes for 422 yards and three touchdowns in 2009, but played in just six games as a sophomore and fell down the depth chart as a junior.
Johnson injured his wrist during training camp last August and missed the entire 2012 season.
Washington also announced that receiver Jamaal Jones, defensive back Darien Washington, running back Erich Wilson II and linebacker Evan Zeger have requested and been granted release from the program.
