My eldest daughter loves lemon meringue pie. She has always loved this pie, even as an infant should would shovel the filling into her mouth and grab hunks of crust in her cherubic hands and gnaw on them with pure delight. I would make it just to watch her eat it!
For every holiday or special event we make this pie for her. She is fantastic at helping in the kitchen and is perfecting her pie crust making skills.
I made this big pie doubling the original recipe which seems just a bit too skimpy given how delicious this pie truly is. I make each batch separately and blend them together to fill the pie. I have never had very good luck making the filling at double the volume. It never seems to mix very smoothly or to thicken very evenly.
I only ever use the Perfect Pie Crust from Martha Stewart as follows:
Perfect Pie Crust:
Adapted from Martha Stewart
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
15 tablespoons unsalted butter (or 12 tablespoons plus 3 tablespoons margarine or chilled vegetable shortening)
¼ cup ice water
Put the flour and salt into the bowl of the machine. Cut the butter (shortening) into the flour. Process a few seconds until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Drop by drop add water, process a bit more. The whole procedure should take 20-30 seconds. Wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
Lightly flour a work surface. Divide the pastry in half. Pat each half into a flat round. Lightly flour a rolling pin. Roll pastry in one direction only, to 1/8 inch thick, turning the
pastry to prevent it from sticking to the surface. Using your pie plate, measure the rolled out pastry-it should be slightly larger than the plate. Fold it in half so that you can lift it easily. Unfold, gently fitting the pastry into the pie plate, allowing it to hang evenly over the edges. Don't trim off the excess just yet.
This is where I make the edge. I fold over the excess and create a nice thick crust and form the best decorative finish that I can manage. (Again, I am not a baker) Then gently poke holes with a fork to prevent bubbling.
I bake this at 425 degrees fahrenheit for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Turn oven down to 350 degrees.
Now you are ready to add the filling.
HINT: Make the filling while the pie shell is cooking.
Lemon Pie Filling Recipe:
1 1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/8 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2-3 tsp fresh lemon peel or zest, grated
4 large egg yolks, beaten
3 Tbsp butter
Blend sugar, cornstarch and salt together in saucepan.
Add water, lemon juice, lemon zest and beaten egg yolks and bring to a boil on low-medium heat, stirring and whisking often. Do not allow it to stick to the bottom of the pan or burn.
Continue to simmer until filling is thick, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and without stirring, let butter melt on top of filling.
After the butter melts, stir in.
Pour into the cooked pie shell.
Meringue Recipe:
1/2 cup sugar
4 egg whites
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
With a high-speed mixer, whip egg whites on high until foamy.
While beating, add sugar 1 Tbsp at a time until meringue forms soft peaks.
HINT Egg whites at room temp seem to work best
Lemon Meringue Pie Assembly:
Be sure to pour meringue on the hot lemon filling.
Spread a layer of meringue over the filling and right to the ends of the shell sealing in the filling.
Pile on the remaining meringue and swirl into decorative peaks with a spoon or spatula.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes (more or less, all ovens are different) or until meringue peaks start to brown.
Cool completely before refrigerating. Chill well before serving.

Friday, January 03, 2014 - Paco and Otakar - Screen Test RAW - FULL CONTACT
Paco and Otakar - Screen Test RAW - FULL CONTACT
Having recently tried Paco Mlaticka out with another guy we then paired him up with newcomer Otakar Bubek for a screentest. He does a brief interview with Otakar and then starts to kiss him, running his hands over his at the same time. Paco kisses down Otakar's body and opens his jeans. Pulling them down reveals a nice hard cock, which Paco quickly starts to suck. He is on his knees, sucking on that stiff cock, and kissing Otakar's nipples. Then he removes the jeans completely, so he can lick at the balls too. His mouth works well on Otakar's rigid pole. Then, as he rises up on his knees he allows Otakar to open his jeans too. Paco's dick is thick and quite hard too and Otakar is soon showing that he is up for sucking cock. His mouth closes tight around the thick shaft as he sucks on it. Then Otakar gets up on his knees too and Paco goes back down on that cock. His head bobs up and down as Paco's balls get nice and tight. Otakar holds Paco's head and fucks his face some. Then they wank each other's dick as they kiss again. Paco leans back and Otakar goes back to sucking on his, now rigid, cock. Paco uses a fucking motion to move that cock in and out of Otakar's mouth. Paco then moves, and bends over, exposing his hot ass, and Otakar starts to rim his tight hole. His tongue works on the hole and he slips a finger in there too. Then, with Paco on his stomach, Otakar slides his rock hard cock deep into that tight ass. He fucks that ass with nice long strokes, going in good and deep. They then move to a spoon position, with Otakar able to kiss Paco as he continues to fuck him. Paco is hard too and wanks himself as he gets a good, hard fucking. With Paco on his back, one leg up in the air Otakar fucks him deep. Paco wanks himself hard and fast and soon blows a big load of cum over his sexy body. Otakar continues to fuck that hot ass until he is ready to cum too and he drops his cum on Paco, milking his cock until it is completely drained. Then, as he leans over to kiss Paco, he slides his dick back inside. The guys then go off to the shower to clean up, with both of them still good and hard.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
With Tomas Friedel, Jan Faust and Mirek Ceslar coming together we were sure of a great scene. We find the buff Tomas oiling his body and being joined, and helped by Mirek. Both are only wearing towels and Tomas starts groping Mirek as his buddy rubs his body. Tomas loses his towel and his cock is already rock hard. Mirek's towel comes off too and his big dick is fully hard too. Tomas grabs it and starts wanking it. The cocks rub against each other and Tomas wanks them a little. Mirek sits and begins to suck on Tomas' rock hard cock, working his mouth up and down the shaft. Jan then arrives too, and his towel drops to the floor as he sucks Tomas nipples. Tomas and Jan then kiss as Mirek continues sucking that cock. Jan's big dick is good and hard too and Tomas wanks it. Mirek stands and he and Tomas slap their cocks against Jan's beauty. Jan then goes down on his knees and takes, first, Tomas' cock in his mouth. Mirek pushes his cock in too, so Jan sucks them both. Then he takes turns on each of the throbbing cocks. They move Jan to the couch and lay him down so each Tomas and Mirek can takes turns on his big, fat cock. They are loving Jan's enormous dick and it's not long before Tomas is bent over, sucking Mirek and feeling Jan's dick deep in his ass. Jan fucks that big, hot ass nice and deep as Mirek feeds Tomas' mouth as well. Mirek needs some ass too and Jan obligingly sits down on his rock hard cock. As he rides that cock Jan's dick is sucked by Tomas as well. Mirek fucks Jan nice and deep, really pounding his cock into that hole. Then Jan lays on the couch, legs up, so that Tomas can fuck him. He takes that cock so deep and feels Tomas ramming it into his hot hole. Mirek slaps his hard cock on Jan's mouth, making him open it to taste the cock. Tomas moans so loudly as he works Jan's hole, his dick going in all the way. Jan grabs his cock and wanks himself to a mighty cumshot as Tomas fucks him deep. Mirek also wanks as Tomas pulls out and shoots his cum over Jan's ass. He slides his cock back into that ass and fucks some more as Mirek squirts his cum all over Jan's face. What a great scene, just as we knew it would be.
You can watch my Vlog for this Newsletter by clicking above or by going over to the Blog :
Happy New Year.
Boy did I make a mistake, I thought we'd published a double Newsletter on Monday. When I went down to take Aida for her walk, Kyptus asked if we'd be doing today's Vlog. It was an Ooops Moment.
Meanwhile down to work:
We make a great start to the New Year with a very good newsletter. It features an excellent Screentest, with Paco Mlaticka and Otakar Bubek. Then Dan Stofa, a really great looking guy, in his erotic video, newcomer Jan Tonka in a session stills. We also have scene 4 of our fully remastered movie Dreambook.
A very good start to the year, with three excellent castees. They are Roman Madlec, Lubor Straka and Radek Pozer. All three look very good indeed making my task of choosing a pick of the day rather difficult. But after due consideration I will opt for Roman.

AoEM Tarr Legend Army of Elite Mercenaries Tuesday 02/01/2007, 03:03
I think that the rate of 3 Cr cards given per week is inappropriate cos if we take you have 3:25 chance of winning and about 1:4 to end up in top 25 (there are about hundred skilled players out there) you will have to play about 10 years before collecting all Cr cards... Sure, you can also buy them on market - but it will be somewhere over 10 milion clintzs (which will cost about 3.000 euro) or you will have to play two regular tournaments per day for about 15 years always ending in top 10 to earn 9M clintz... so I think that the Urban stuff should find another way how to distribute Cr cards among us players or increase number of cards given per one ELO tournament... I've already spent about 100 euro on this game and believe me that it is more than enough for student like me... I like this game much but I wont spend neither 3000 euro nor 10 years of my life just to collect Cr cards... I hereby call upon other players to support me in my request!!!
0- JP Imperator † OVER KILL † Friday 02/02/2007, 01:27
IMO, i believe he is right, the game is perfect as it is, so are the tournaments, the only problem in the tournament is the lag or timeouts, but thats another topic, if you want a CR card, save your money to make a good ELO deck and just play. Buy your cards and join tournaments.
I just hope the random picks for the rare prizes and not the CR is not restricted to the top 25 players but to all participants.
wmd angelo Colossus Friday 02/02/2007, 07:37
O-jp , since one week , if you give up a game or you timeout ,the other player receive his points exactly like a victory, and you lose your points...so all the timeouts are "honest", because there is no point no more to do it in purpose ( except for the ones who dunno about this new rule) by the way i won in 6 months : 1 aldebaran, 1 vickie , and my gf : 1 dj korr , and 1 flavio...and other smaller cards...
cBp_Fojtik Colossus Czech Beer Power Wednesday 07/02/2007, 14:28
Win for 3 people from top 25 is so big lottery. I prefere if win 5 people from top 25 or 3 people from top 15.
In last 6 months I was 15 times in top 25. And do not win any Cr card. It makes me bored. I stop playing this game for some time.
ELO winning should be more inspirating for people.

andy111 Titan SVK Beasts Tuesday 13/02/2007, 15:44
Yeah, fojtik i didnt placed 15 times at top25 , but a few times, too and no cr card in this time. that makes very bored everybody who plays. But not about this. I am interested why cards like Wanda or Baby Q are forbiden in the elo mode????They arent so strong , that they couldnt be played. for example wardog has the same power and damage as Wanda and gertrud like BabyQ, so any good reason why couldnt be played??
Gert81 Novice ~EliTe kRew~ Tuesday 13/02/2007, 16:02
Lottery should be good u win a card it doesnt matter what card it could be common,uncommon,rare, cr and cpuld cost 500 clintz lottery

i thought ur the guy who plays everyday???am i right even me i made 1324 elo value just in 3 hrs...but is a hard work using unevolved cards so i sell em
i start playing now everyday coz its our final quarter in school...
andyobor i think u dont understand how yayoi,baby q,wanda and some other babes like charlie has a good combo...need understanding coz its self explantory

6SimS-Sven Master UTOPiA Monday 19/02/2007, 14:52
Actually angelo ill ask u to close the thread coz its pointless...as far as im concerned i should have asked him if he had made it on top 25...
0- JP Imperator † OVER KILL † Monday 19/02/2007, 16:40
Ahem... ako ba kinakausap mo bata. Yes i play everyday and i do admit that i'm not the greatest ELO player out there, i haven't made it to the top 25 like you. Pero pls lg, wag ka na magyabang.
6SimS-Sven Master UTOPiA Monday 19/02/2007, 17:03

my apologies

More than 50 percent of the American population will die from the choices they made in life. Our lifestyles—food intake,
exercise, and how we manage our lives—help determine our cause of death. And, each of these variables is within our own
ability to understand, control, and accomplish.
Physical signs are obvious factors that can be seen, measured and identified thereby making control easier. However, what
cannot be seen or accurately measured are the emotional difficulties from which everyone suffers. Further, the relationship
of physical and mental wellness is more intricate than once thought. What affects the body, affects the mind and vice versa.
Mens sana in corpore sano—a healthy mind in a healthy body.
Of the many unseen impacts on health status, few affect every day life more than stress. Avoiding stress is impossible.
Job pressures and insecurities, commuting problems, household chores, financial concerns, child and elderly parent care,
managing the emotional impact of war and terrorism, and even weather extremes, are part of daily life. Major life events,
such as moving, marriage or divorce, birth of a child, death of a loved one, physical injury, or chronic pain add to stress
levels, some only intermittently, others constantly.
Although all individuals live with stress, some have more difficulty coping with stressors and thus experience greater stress
than others. The young and elderly tend to be more susceptible to stress than those in other age groups are; genetics plays
a role too. The lack of a solid social support network is also known to increase stress levels.
Acute stress is temporary and intense; the body deals with acute stress and returns to normal. A study published in the
February, 2004 issue of Molecular Biology of the Cell, demonstrated in animal models that brief exposure to stress may actually
help protect the body's cells against damage and promote longer life. Chronic stress, on the other hand, can overwhelm the
body's natural defenses and increase health risks. Symptoms of chronic stress are both physical and behavioral. Irritability
and impatience, sleep disturbances, nervous habits such as nail-biting, teeth grinding, decreased libido, and emotional
labiality (poor control of emotions) are common signs of chronic stress.
Because of the intimate connection between mind and body, stress can produce physical signs: muscular tension, digestive
problems such as heartburn and diarrhea, shallow breathing, migraines and tension headaches, and cold sweaty palms. Chronic
stress is known to lead to high blood pressure, higher levels of cholesterol, abnormal heart beats, and increased risk of
heart attack and stroke.
The very factors that create success for individuals can also create conditions of chronic stress. High achievers frequently
identify their own self-worth in terms of professional productivity. As reported in Psychology Today, one study of top executives
found that they disproportionately came from families with dysfunctional response patterns and high incidences of alcoholism.
To be successful, this smart and creative group had learned to distance themselves from negative emotions; unacknowledged
feelings can create stress and, eventually, depression and assorted physical ills.
Workplace stress research is beginning to document specific risks. Researchers found that workers experienced a 15 mmHg
rise in systolic blood pressure and a 7mmHg increase in diastolic blood pressure on days that they worked for a boss they
perceived as unfair. They also reported an increase of 10mmHg systolic and 5mmHg diastolic blood pressure is associated
with a 16 percent higher risk of heart disease and a 38 percent higher risk of stroke (Occupational and Environmental Medicine,
June 2003.) A study in the April 2003 issue of Psychosomatic Medicine showed that support from coworkers can decrease blood
pressure during the most stressful times of the workday. The more people felt supported by coworkers, the smaller their
blood pressure increases were in response to work-related stress. An article in the July 2003 issue of Psychosomatic Medicine
assessed the fine points of personality and heart disease. In a study of nearly 2,400 men, those with the strongest Type
A personalities developed heart disease sooner than those with less aggressive personalities. Those more likely to develop
earlier heart disease were in a higher social class, smoked more than a pack of cigarettes daily, and had high blood cholesterol.
In addition to learning how to manage stress in life, it has been found that people who have a positive attitude and adapt
to change, not only lead happier lives, but they live longer.
Managing stress is key to good health, and learning to manage stress is within every individual's power.
Exercise is good for you physically and emotionally. As early as the 1970s, researchers showed that distraction from the
stress of daily life through exercise caused beneficial declines in anxiety and depression. Prolonged rhythmic exercise
has been shown to stimulate release of endorphins, natural mood-altering body chemicals believed to be responsible for the
"runner's high."
Enjoy dining, choosing those items that will enhance health rather than adding pounds or inducing lethargy and fatigue.
Be positive. Seek new interests and pleasures in daily activities.

Hello everyone. Before we get started thank you for taking the time to read this and good luck to anyone who tries to help.
Here is my issue. I have a free Host set up with no ip. all it does is takes the URL and redirect it to my IP where xampp has the website I have coded. Once you get to my website, the no ip URL is dropped an replaced with http://MYIP/ZeroCraft/index.html
Which it works so im not complaining. But I really don't want my IP in the URL, not to mention it's not professional. There will come a time where my funds allow me to actually purchase a domain name. But for now is there a way I can have it display my free Host name? If so can you please walk me through it? If it helps I am fluent with HTML5, CSS3, and now some PHP.

Week 9: Sounds. Describe any sounds that take you back to your childhood. These could be familiar songs, jingles, children playing, or something entirely different.
When I saw the prompt for this week, the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz immediately popped into my head! I'm not sure why because I'm completely over her and there are so many other interesting sounds that come to mind. But there she was so I'm going to work with it.
Like many other children, I was terrified by the Wicked Witch of the West and probably even more scared of the music that accompanied her. We would watch The Wizard of Oz every year on TV. Every year when either the music or Elba (as we now know her to be called) would enter, I would exit down the hall to my room where I would usually stick my head under a pillow until I was sure it was safe to come out. I was terrorized by her the rest of the year as well. My parents had the sound track album and Mom would occassionally play it. Off I would go in search of a pillow until that awful music was over!
I can even remember Dad making me sit through the scene when Dorothy threw the bucket of water on the witch and made her melt away. I still didn't want anything to do with that witch.
"Going so soon? I wouldn't hear of it. Why my little party's just beginning. ..." Listen here for a quick blast from the past my pretty.

The Skyhawks put their regional ranking on the line Saturday at the annual Rocky Mountain Shootout hosted by the University of Colorado in Boulder.
The Fort Lewis College cross country team finished second in the mens divisions and third in the womens division of the non-Division I field Saturday.
We had a nice pack on both sides, FLC head coach Mark Dutro said. This was a good test for us to see where we are at and how we compare.
He said Kip Mutai of FLC, a native of Kenya, won the non-Division I mens race in 26 minutes, 32 seconds. The course was slightly longer than 8 kilometers at Buffalo Ranch near Boulder, Dutro said.
Kip ran well. I think it was his best race of the year, the FLC head coach said.
Christian Gering, an FLC sophomore from Santa Fe, was the No. 2 runner for the Skyhawks. He was 11th overall in 27:48. Teammate Jimmy Mohrbacher, from Dakota Ridge High School, finished 13th (27:50). Joe Brenner of the Skyhawks finished 14th (27:51), with teammate Garrett Sapakoff 16th (27:54).
Brenner is from Minnesota; Sapakoff is from Littleton.
Dutro said the FLC women ran a strong race, too, even missing their usual No. 4 runner.
Our No. 6, Helen Smith, she made a big step up (Saturday), Dutro said. She finally turned the corner.
Smith, from Ohio, finished 26th for FLC (25:17) in the womens 5.8-kilometer run. Maddie Kruger (Lewis-Palmer) led the Skyhawks in ninth place (23:55). Teammate Alexis Work (Coronado) was 11th (23:58). Katarina Medici, a freshman from Pagosa Springs, was 16th Saturday (24:11). Alyssa Carman (Lakewood) was 23rd (25:07).
Its a tough course, Dutro said. Theres a hill called Jawbone Hill, and its a killer. And they had to do it twice. That hill is a separator.
Regan Mullen of Colorado Christian was the womens non-Division I winner Saturday (21:47). Mullen won FLCs Tom Strandt Memorial Run two weeks ago, part of the inaugural Southwest Cross Country Challenge co-hosted by FLC, Durango High School and Bayfield High School.
Montana State-Billings won the womens team title. Colorado School of Mines won the mens team title.

[Jason Reich is a TV writer whose credits include The Daily Show and Robot Chicken. He is also a TV watcher with a tenuous grip on reality, believing himself to be one of the many acolytes of Dr. Joseph Carroll, the devilishly charming convicted killer with a cult-like following on FOX's aptly named The Following. Mr. Reich has been writing letters to "Dr. Carroll," dropping them in what he believes is a mailbox but is actually a cardboard box with a crude eagle drawn on it in Magic Marker, placed in his home by Videogum for the purposes of intercepting this correspondence.]
Dear Prof. Carroll,
How are you? Aside from being in prison, I mean. I think you are the best, and I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy watching your grand blood-soaked plans play out on the new FOX series The Following. As you may know, I have been an admirer of yours for quite some time, ever since you banged my college girlfriend while she was taking your class on Edgar Allen Poe. No hard feelings!
I hope this isn't awkward, but I have noticed that many of your fans seem to be super involved in your ongoing murder project, pitching in with small tasks like killing people, or hiding in ceiling ducts and sneaking out later to kill people. I think this kind of local grassroots organizing is a great way to achieve one's larger goals, like getting Barack Obama elected president or amassing a large collection of human eyeballs. I was just wondering, though, if maybe my instructions got lost in the mail or you tried to text me from some place with spotty cell service, because so far I haven't been told what my fake identity is or who I'm supposed to stab or what. (Do you know any other Jasons? Maybe you accidentally texted the wrong one. Don't feel bad. It happens!)
I don't want it to sound like I have some weird schoolgirl crush on you and your impish grin, smart professor brain, and elaborate plan to eviscerate innocent people. (I do, but I don't want it to sound like that LOL.) It's just that everyone on your killing squad seems to be having so much fun. Last night's episode made me crazy jealous, when that girl pretended to be a nanny, and those not-gay guys pretended to be gay, just so they could kidnap your son and have an awesome sleepover together in a big country house! (Though too bad those guys are not really gay, because that house could be converted into one hell of a B&B, right?)
Not to worry you, Prof. Carroll, but I really think you could use my help. Kevin Bacon and his FBI buzzkills are starting to get wise to your tricks. They appear to have some kind of amazing FBI computer than runs on plot-advancing technology, and all they have to do is say something like, "Computer, please tell me this fake nanny's real name and address, and also could you throw in a few uninteresting flashbacks while you're at it?" And bam, both those things happen. Plus, this week the FBI brought in a top agent from their "alternative religion" unit, which is a very important division of any law enforcement organization. Highly trained tactical assault teams and forensics experts are nice, but when you are in the field and under pressure, you really need someone who can analyze the influence of Slavic polytheism on how the sorority girl got her eyes torn out.
Still, you are doing an excellent job, Prof. Carroll, partly because you are a brilliant criminal mastermind and partly because the cops on this show are extremely terrible at their jobs. I will admit, when protecting a high value target like a psychopath's ex-wife, it's natural to overlook an insignificant hiding place like the entire basement. But did you also know that you can stroll into any crime scene undetected simply by being fat and wearing a police officer's uniform? Of course you did, because you asked that fat guy to do it last night, and it worked perfectly! Professor, if you wanted I would gladly go down to the Halloween store and buy a police officer costume, especially since they are so cheap during the off season.
Dr. Carroll, I am a little hurt that I have not yet been asked to join in the fun, but I will try to stay positive and keep my eyes on the prize…that prize apparently being other people's eyes. I look forward to murdering for you in the near future. (I am going to be out of town visiting my sister and her kids next weekend, but otherwise I am totally available.) Until then, I remain your devoted servant.

Forced to shuffle its roster after a heavy dose of graduations, Baldwin has still found plenty of aces on the basketball court as it makes a run at a third defense of the Nassau County Class AA girls' basketball title.
The Lady Bruins won seven of their first eight games overall and their first five of their Conference AA-II battles, including a 61-29 victory over Valley Stream Central on Jan. 4. Not a single one of Baldwin's first five conference opponents topped the 30-point mark in a game.
"We're defending well and traditionally we've been a good defensive team," Baldwin coach Tom Catapano said. "It's no secret. We spend a lot of time on defense [in practice]. The kids buy into that and realize that's their ticket to success."
Junior Mariah Butler has been a focal point of the defense, matching up with each opponents' top guard with sophomore Taylor Howell also providing energy for a Lady Bruins unit that is tireless and wears teams down with consistent presses and traps. Despite expending so much energy on defense, Butler is still able to fill the nets when needed. In a 52-46 win over Suffolk County powerhouse North Babylon in Baldwin's annual Chanee Brown Holiday Tournament, Butler not only helped slow down Brianna Hicks, who scored just four first half points, she scored all nine of the Lady Bruins points in the fourth quarter. "She is a basketball player," Catapano said. "She's going to do whatever the team needs her to do. In this case [this season], we need her to play [the point] and she's stepped up."
Sophomore guard Jade Aponte led the Lady Bruins with a game-high 14 points against the Lady Eagles, while Butler scored 11. Eight players in all scored at least one basket. "We really don't have one star," Catapano said. "On any given night, we have four or five players that can drop double digits [in points]."
In Aponte, the Lady Bruins have a dead-on outside shooter who has made teams pay for dropping back into a zone defense, and the frontcourt has gotten production from senior Chelsea May, Ashley McAdams and sophomore Tiara Place. As the team rounds into shape, Catapano's rotation has also included a pair of seventh-graders — Jenna Annecchiarico and Aziah Hudson — who've been productive in their time on the floor. Hudson tied her season-high with eight points in the win over Valley Stream Central, while Annecchiarico has topped out at six in a game. "They're able to compete at a very young age and that shows how talented they are," he said.
Following an early season test against MacArthur, also unbeaten entering the matchup after presstime, the Lady Bruins are slated to host Port Washington on Friday for a 7 p.m. tipoff and then travel to East Meadow on Jan. 25 for a 6:30 p.m. start. "You can really see the growth at this point in the season very quickly," Catapano said of working the new faces into the lineup.

Green Tea's powerful catechins, with the addition of Vitamin C, provides cellular antioxidant protection and may help improve energy and endurance. When used along with exercise, green tea may offer additional benefits for muscle and bone health, while promoting fat oxidation to contribute to an improved lean body mass. Green tea extract may help maintain blood sugar levels already within a normal range and supports cardiovascular and dental health. Green tea extract may also provide protection in the digestive tract, thereby mediating inflammatory processes in the body. It has also been known to aid in the attack of harmful bacteria while avoiding the healthy bacteria that's essential for healthy digestion.*

He has spent his professional life analyzing nutritional information and medical studies with the aim of creating the highest quality and most natural nutraceuticals for user's maximum health benefits.
Here, Jerry speaks about the benefits of Green Tea and Green Tea Tincture…
Big news for green tea lovers. We have an organic Green Tea Tincture. It's kosher. It's caffeine free. It's not from China. It's free of fluoride contaminants. There's no oxalate in it. All the good things are in there, none of the bad things. This is a green tea that's very safe. I recommend in the winter months that you have your child gargle with the green tea twice a day. And you too, swish it around your mouth, gargle and swallow twice a day.
For kids, first of all, it has an impact on the bacteria that are involved with dental carries, the cariogenic bacteria. Second of all, it has a minimizing effect of bad breath bacteria, Solobacterium moorei. Flossing and brushing your teeth does not impact that bacterium. You can floss and brush to your heart's content, but you could still have bad breath if that bacteria is in your mouth. For kids, if you add a squirt of the Green Tea Tincture to their soda, it takes away the corrosive effects of the soda. So the next time they're having a glass of Cola, add a squirt of Green Tea Tincture and you'll be saving on your dental bills.
Another interesting thing that was discovered is if you drink green tea when eating fish, it blocks the absorption of the mercury from the fish. Now, some fish like salmon are pretty clean. But other fish like tuna, the big tuna or swordfish, bluefish or mackerel, they can have a lot of mercury.
There are thousands and thousands and thousands of studies on green tea. There isn't a square inch of your body that doesn't get some kind of benefit from green tea, whether you're a kid or an adult or elderly. There isn't a square inch of your body that will not benefit from it.
For instance, recently they've shown that green tea keeps you younger. People who drink a lot of green tea, biologically they're seven years younger than people their same age who do not drink green tea. It's because it keeps the genes healthy. It wakes the genes up. Just like your skin gets wrinkled, your genes get old and wrinkly and they don't work well and that ages you. If your genes are younger, your body is younger. If the genes in your heart are younger, your heart is younger. If the genes in your muscles are younger, your muscles are stronger. If the genes in your brain are younger, your brain is younger. It's as simple as that. They found that green tea keeps genes consistently, working and younger. There's a lot of interesting stuff you find about this beverage and it's the second most commonly consumed beverage in the world after water.
Green tea has an effect on the immune system in your mouth. You release peroxidase in your saliva. That's like hydrogen peroxide, so if you eat a piece of food and there's some mold on it or there's bacteria or viruses, parasites, yeast, anything that enters your mouth, these things are able to isolate the bacteria and destroy it. That's what they do. But also it stimulates something else. In your mouth, in your saliva, you release something called polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes are a type of white blood cell that should be in your saliva. That's why it's so important not to have a dry mouth. It's synthesized and secreted into the saliva. These cells are packed with something called myeloperoxidases. It's the job of myeloperoxidases to cleanse your food and cleanse your palate of viruses, bacteria, parasites, yeast.
When they gave elderly people a concentrated Green Tea Tincture twice a day during a three month study, the level of oral peroxidases increased by 280%. And even if they just rinsed their mouth twice a day, the level of oral peroxidases improved by 270%.
The studies on weight loss are pretty dynamic; there are a number of studies now that show our Green Tea Tincture improving metabolism and helping to burn fat. These studies, like the study at the Maastricht University in the Netherlands showed that when you consume enough green tea, you burn about 200 to 300 additional calories per day without changing your lifestyle or modifying your activity level, your exercise level or your diet. Simply by adding sufficient green tea to your diet will burn an additional minimum of 200 calories per day. Now, that has a good impact. I mean that could be like half an hour on the treadmill for some people. If you're walking at a slower rate it could be 15 minutes for most people on a treadmill. 200 calories; that's a lot of calories. So if you're going to eat smart and you're going to take a walk and then add the green tea, you can really help keep your weight under control by getting rid of the fat.
Here's another study from Maastricht University. After intense dieting, the people who dieted and went through all that pain of dieting gained 40% of their weight back within the next three months. But if they give them a powerful, concentrated green tea every day, they actually continued to lose weight. It's in the Journal of Obesity Research.
Men were placed on a weight loss diet for two weeks and then added a green tea supplement to their diet. So some men were on a placebo and some men were on green tea supplements. It's in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Those on the green tea supplements have a significant drop in their weight. They had a smaller waist size and less body fat within just three months. And they've also shown, by the way, if you do green tea before you exercise you can burn an additional 17 to 20% of your fat.
When most people exercise, they're burning the sugars that are stored in their muscle, called glycogen. They're not burning fat. When you use green tea, it kind of flicks a physiological trigger and instead of burning the sugar in your muscle, you're burning fat.
Now, a number of things come out of that. First of all, you have a greater source of energy, so you're going to have more endurance before you hit that wall and become fatigued. So you're going to actually perform better, you're going to be able to exercise longer; you're going to have a better workout. Second of all, you're going to burn an additional 17 to 20% of fat. I would call that a win-win situation. It's pretty much accepted that green tea burns fat.
A lot of people have a problem with overeating, especially around the holidays. They did a study recently in Lund University in Sweden. It's in the Nutrition Journal which is a great journal. It's a very honest journal. When they gave participants green tea after a meal, they felt much more satiated. It was helping to prevent hunger.
Green tea isn't just for losing weight and it's not just for the immune system in your mouth, though it's nice to keep your immune system working, especially in the winter. Let me tell you, every 28 or 29 drops (that's a dropper-full), represents a big American cup of green tea. If you look at the studies on prostate health or the studies on breast health, on colon health, on losing weight, on the immune system, on the skin, on the brain, on good mood, it's always four to six American size cups of green tea that gets the best effect. So, I don't think anybody is going to sit around and brew four to six cups of green tea. I don't think most people have the patience or time to do that. I don't think they want to do that. So here's what I do for my wife and myself. I brew a cup of green tea, morning and evening and then I add two or three squirts of the tincture. That's one American sized cup of green tea actually equaling three big cups or four big cups. I do that twice a day. That's like eight cups. I'm done. We're covered. We're getting all of those benefits that green tea provides even in the wildest study and I match the amount they were getting. You know, in some studies they're doing 8 to 10 cups. In the afternoon, I take a couple of additional cups because I want it for my immune system. I am flooding myself of green tea right now for my immune system, but also because I feel full when I do it and I'm not snacking and I'm losing weight successfully.
Here's the next set of studies: Green tea helps with age-related disabilities. This is a very interesting study, because there are a number of separate studies that back it up. This is in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: In a three-year-long study of over 14,000 elderly people, those who drank the most green tea had a big drop in the risk of functional disability. And what that means is the people who had the most green tea remained the most independent. It was the easier for them to get out of a chair. It was easier for them to cut their food and feed themselves. It was easier for them to get dressed on their own. It was easier for them to take a walk. It was easier for them to drive their car. It was easier for them to go shopping, all of those things.
Why do I believe it? There are a couple of studies like this now. They took a group of older women at Texas Tech University down in Lubbock, Texas and they published this in Osteoporosis International. They had this group of postmenopausal women doing Tai Chi exercises, this wonderful rhythmic movement. The other group, they gave Tai Chi and green tea. If they added the green tea to the exercise, they actually built more muscle strength and had better bone health than the exercise alone. If they did the exercise, it absolutely improved their strength and it had a positive impact on their bones. But if they added green tea to the exercise, it actually improved their strength better than the exercise alone and had an impact on their muscles and their bone health actually improved better than with exercise alone.
I want to read you a couple of letters I got from my clients. Here's Jack in Garden City Park, Long Island. He's been on the Green Tea Tincture for four years. "I don't know what I would do without taking my green tea every day. The green tea gives me energy throughout the day and I feel very relaxed and alert. I am grateful for it."
Here's Laura in Forest Hills, Queens. "I always had immediate clear-headedness and alertness after drinking your green tea. I feel sharp and energized for several hours. Its effects are wonderful. It's also cleared my skin and improved my digestion. No negatives."
Richard in Elmont, Queens. He's been on our green tree drops for three years. "Your green tea drops are a favorite of mine. I find them invigorating, soothing and refreshing. It mixes with water. It seems to energize me both day and night."
We're getting feedback from people that they feel full, they're satiated, they're losing weight, and they have great endurance and energy from the green tea.

Green Tea: Burn Calories While Increasing Your Antioxidant Protection
What is Green Tea?
Green tea comes from the same plant as black tea, Camelia sinensis, but it does not undergo the lengthy fermentation process that is used to make black tea. Green tea is very high in antioxidants, also known as catechins. The most beneficial of these catechins is EGCG, which has excellent benefits for weight control, antioxidant protection and fat oxidation.
Where does Green Tea come from?
Green tea grows in rainy areas with tropical and subtropical climates throughout the world. However, Japan, India and China are the most well-known sources of commercial grade green tea.
What are the benefits of tinctures over pills?
Our liquid tinctures have been created to deliver the maximum health benefits of natural ingredients in a pleasant-tasting, easy-to-swallow liquid formula. Convenient, portable and easy to use, InVite® tinctures improve your body's absorption of essential nutrients. Our tinctures are an enjoyable alternative to pills and capsules, especially for those who dislike conventional pills or have trouble taking supplements in tablet or capsule form. Just 2 droppers full of our exclusive line of liquid tinctures can be mixed into water or another beverage for an instant, nutrient-packed health booster. Unlike many liquid herbal products that are extracted in a grain alcohol base, our sweet-tasting tinctures are glycerin-based – this makes them a great choice for anyone avoiding glucose.
Are tinctures safe for children?
Our fruit-derived tinctures like BlueGranate Tx® are excellent supplements to provide vital antioxidants to children. Even our Green Tea Tx® and White Tea Tx® are healthy for most children and have been shown to support young immune systems.
Why are some nutrients available as tinctures while others are not?
We're committed to developing a wide range of nutrients in liquid tincture form for our customers. However, some dietary ingredients and nutrients may not be suitable as tinctures if they:
Green Tea's powerful catechins, with the addition of Vitamin C, provides cellular antioxidant protection and may help improve energy and endurance.

Tomlin is going on his 6th FULL season this season and just let me throw this out there since everyone forgets of what Tomlin has done with this team so far.
62-31 for career coaching record in the regular season.
5-3 in playoffs
4 division titles
2 AFC championships
1 super bowl
When you haters have time, please tell us who you would want coaching this team right now? Or why Tomlin shouldnt have been hired the HC position and who you wanted when BC retired. Please tell me Whiz. Tomlin is the whipping boy when we lose, I can understand that to a degree. On this board for some reason, when we win, he gets jack **** for credit.
Im not going to say Tomlin is the greatest ****ing coach in the league by any means. But damn, if Tomlin got fired today as head coach, he would have another NFL head coaching job by the days end. Yes, he probably doesnt prepare the team as well as he should but the man is only 40 years old. Give him a few more seasons as he will continue to grow as a coach and then we can make a say on whether he was good or not.
As of right now he is doing fine. With the injuries we have had this season, I think 7-6 is pretty decent. I had them going 10-6 to finish the season which could still probably happen, but this team is not going 12-4 every single season like it has for the past 3 out of 4 seasons.

Much the same way everyone wants vehicles till they see the outrageous ass stretching prices Hasbro and/or the retailer decide to charge. B-Wing comes to mind, which I saw hit several stages of clearance due to the $40 pricetag... Hell, even ARC-170's didn't sell and that was a new sculpt. I had a tougher time tracking the Tri-Fighter, AT-RT, and Wookiee Copter's down.But we all want that $80 AT-TE right?

Dell's UltraSharp U2711 is one of the best performing monitors we've seen; but at $1,049, its price will be prohibitive to some buyers. However, the U2711 earns its high price with incredible performance, a plethora of connection options, and the monitor's piece de resistance, its 2,560x1,440-pixel resolution. Dell also fixes the static dithering issue that plagued the U2410's release. This is the monitor to buy if you have the money. Honestly, even if you don't have the budget, you should probably start pinching pennies because it is that good.
Design and features
The 27-inch Dell UltraSharp U2711 looks a lot like a larger version of the U2410 that Dell released a few weeks back--in fact, it's larger by 3 inches, at least for the screen. Like the U2410, the U2711 has a matte black chassis with a gray highlight running through the middle of the panel. The panel is 1.75 inches deep; however, the back of the display--which houses the backlight, connection options, and ventilation system--extends another 1.5 inches, bringing the full monitor depth to about 3.4 inches. The panel width measures 25.4 inches long and the surface of the screen itself is a slightly frosted and smooth matte. The bezel measures 0.8 inch long on all sides.
Its rectangular foot stand measures about 12.5 inches wide by 7.8 inches deep. When knocked from the sides, the U2711 wobbled more than the U2410 did. On the U2410, wobble was nearly nonexistent. With the screen height at its lowest, the distance from the bottom of the bezel to the desktop is 1.7 inches, and at its highest it's 5.1 inches. The panel swivels about 70 degrees left and right and tilts back about 25 degrees. The panel can be unscrewed from the stand and mounted (VESA-style) on the wall. Unfortunately, there is no portrait mode, unlike with the U2410.
Dell includes a plethora of video connection options for the U2711, all located on its back, including VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort, Component, Composite, and two DVI ports. S-Video is the only missing connection, originally included on the 2408WFP. Also included are two downstream USB ports, one upstream port, an audio out port, and a speaker port. Accessing these connections was fairly easy; we were only hampered by the lack of a pivot feature on the monitor. On the left side of the panel are two additional USB downstream ports and one card reader port compatible with xD-Picture cards, MultiMedia cards, Secure Digital cards, and Sony Memory Sticks.
The onscreen display follows Dell's label-free design seen in many recent Dell monitors. Five buttons line the lower right-hand corner of the bezel. Pressing any of the buttons brings up the OSD, which pops up parallel to the button array, and each option corresponds to one of the four buttons. Once a new menu comes up, the function of the buttons changes dynamically, as the top two buttons become the up-and-down arrow buttons used to navigate through the newly seen menu. Since any button labels for the OSD are actually on the screen (instead of on the bezel), calibrating the display in a dark room is easy.
The Dell U2410's OSD buttons have low sensitivity, making it necessary sometimes to push them harder than what we consider normal. The U2711 didn't have this problem, as the buttons were appropriately responsive.
Its OSD menu options include the standard brightness, contrast, and various color options. The presets are separated into two categories: Graphics and Video. There are six Graphics presets to choose from: Standard, Multimedia, Game, Warm, Cool, Adobe RGB, sRGB, and Custom. Its Video presets are: Movie, Game, and Nature. The presets don't change anything other than the red, green, and blue color balance; therefore, how well each setting works is subjective. There are options to adjust the hue, sharpness, and color saturation as well as additional options for setting the OSD to stay onscreen up to a minute (useful for anyone who will spend a good amount of time calibrating).
The Dell UltraSharp U2711's 16:9 aspect ratio has a 2,560x1,440-pixel native resolution. The 16:9 monitor trend currently sweeping the market has given many smaller monitors higher resolutions than they were capable of at 16:10 aspect ratio. A 22-inch model with a 16:9 aspect ratio now has a potential high-definition, native resolution of 1,920x1,080 (1080p) pixels as opposed to 1,680x1,050 pixels.
Manufacturer's specifications:
Resolution: 2,590x1,440 pixels
Pixel-response rate: 6ms
Contrast ratio: 1,000:1
Brightness: 400cd/m2
Connectivity: DVIx2, VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort, Component, Composite
HDCP compliant? Yes
Included video cables? DVI, VGA, DisplayPort
Backlight type: CCFL
Panel type: H-IPS
Aspect Ratio: 16:9
We tested the Dell UltraSharp U2711 with its DVI connection in the Standard (default) preset. The display posted a composite score of 98 on CNET Labs' DisplayMate-based performance tests--one of the highest scores we've yet seen. The U2711 scored well in all of our color and uniformity tests--it didn't have the color compressing issue that we saw with the U2410 or the slight pink screen tint.
The Dell UltraSharp U2711 achieved a brightness score of 333 candelas per square meter--less than the U2410's 434 cd/m2. While at first glance, this may seem like a disadvantage, but the U2410's higher brightness strained our eyes over prolonged use. With the U2711's lower base brightness, our eyes were spared such fatigue.
We looked at "Kill Bill Vol. 1" on DVD and several 1080p movie files from Microsoft's WMV HD Showcase. Movies on the Dell looked great thanks to the display's deep blacks and colors that look full and natural in the Movie preset.

The Best NorCal Beaches for Tide Pooling, Surfing, Hiking, and More
The California coast has long exerted a powerful pull for visitors in the summertime: When the weather heats up, locals and travelers alike start to dream of mornings riding Pacific waves, afternoons of lazy beachcombing, and evenings cooled by ocean breezes.
Luckily, if you find yourself with California beaches on the brain this summer, we've got the perfect crash pads to help you take your vacation coast-side. Many of our Northern California hostels are graced with sea and sand right on their doorsteps. And with such an enormous variety of beaches, there's something for everyone. Just choose your favorite coastal pastime from our guide below and get ready to hit the beach!
Our two lighthouse hostels make fantastic bases for a day or weekend of tide pooling. Right in its own backyard, HI Pigeon Point has rocks full of nooks and crannies for sea creatures. Borrow a water-resistant field guide from the front desk at the hostel and then clamor down the nearby cliff-side trails. Be on the lookout for starfish, crabs, abalone, and mussels during low tide. The hostel's even got a tide chart at reception to help you plan your visit.
A two-minute drive (or one-mile walk) from HI Point Montara, you'll find one of the premier tide-pooling spots in the state. The Fitzgerald Marine Reserve is a favorite with families, school groups, and plenty of adults. One of the most biologically diverse inter-tidal regions in California, this protected reserve sits on a three-mile stretch of coastline just south of Point Montara. Blossoming anemones, sea stars, hermit crabs, and even octopi have been known to make appearances here during low tide. And if you spy a little critter you don't immediately recognize (ever hear of a sea lemon or a gumboot chiton before?), volunteer docents are on hand on weekends and holidays to answer questions.
There's nothing better at the end of a long hike than feeling the ocean mist on your face and the salt air in your lungs. For hikes with scenic seaside payoffs at the end, the Marin Headlands, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, is unrivaled in the Bay Area.
One of the best-known hikes in the Headlands, the Coastal Trail offers a beautiful trek with exactly the kind of scenery the name implies. But HI Marin Headlands Assistant General Manager Meghan Ellwood has another suggestion that just may lure you off the beaten path.
When you start the Coastal Trail, Meghan advises, try "veering off towards the ocean on an unmarked, but legal trail, to a spot called Tennessee Point. This spot is beautiful: it's a peninsula overlooking Rodeo Beach and, on clear days, Muir Beach – and sometimes as far as Point Reyes! If you make it up to the top of the Coastal Trail at Hill 88, you get the most phenomenal view of land and sea and the city!"
For a shorter, mellower hike, try trekking through the Tennessee Valley. You can start the two-mile hike, which ends at a picturesque little beach, right from the hostel.
"Black Sands beach is another beautiful beach you need to hike to," adds Meghan. "There are metallic sands and beautiful city views." Get there by hiking up to Conzelman Road from the hostel, then to the Upper Fisherman's parking lot, and finally down a steep hill to the beach. (Be sure to check out a map of the Headlands' extensive network of trails to keep yourself on track).
Wildlife Viewing
Think Pigeon Point's only wildlife is in the tide pools? Think again. Ano Nuevo State Park, less than 10 minutes south of HI Pigeon Point, is one of the largest main-land breeding colonies in the world for elephant seals. The mammals spend most of their lives at sea, but come ashore with their pups to molt during the summer months. You can also see harbor seals sunning themselves on the rocks just in back of the lighthouse year 'round.
About six miles north of the hostel, the Pescadero Marsh Natural Preserve is the largest marsh between San Francisco and the Monterey Bay. Here, the Pescadero and Butano Creeks form a lagoon and estuary that's as much haven for bird-watchers as it is for their feathered friends. In all, some 200 species of birds have been sighted at the preserve including herons and egrets. To get here, park at the Pescadero State Beach; signs will point you to a trail that takes you safely under the highway and over to the marsh.
Urban Strolling
No time to sneak off for a full coastal getaway? No problem: you can still get a taste of the Pacific, even if your stay in Northern California is city-centric. Just in back of HI San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf, pick up a waterfront trail and follow it west through Fort Mason, across Crissy Field, and over to East Beach. Here you'll find a local community unwinding: parents take small children to wade in the ocean, dogs chase Frisbees, and couples sit and admire the views of the nearby Golden Gate Bridge.
If you're feeling adventurous, jump on the N Judah bus downtown and ride it all the way to the Outer Sunset district, hopping out when you see the water of Ocean Beach shimmering up ahead. This three-and-a-half-mile-long expanse of sea and sand feels far removed from the city, even though you'll have to scamper across the Great Highway to get to it. While away the afternoon collecting sand dollars and watching the surfers bobbing in the waves, then stop for dinner and drinks along Judah Street before heading back inland.
Advanced surfers will find some truly inspiring waves near our Pigeon Point and Point Montara hostels: it's no mistake that the legendary Mavericks surfing competition takes place each year along the coast between the two lighthouses. But beginning surfers may want to head a bit further south to Santa Cruz. About half an hour from Pigeon Point, Santa Cruz can only be described as hippie-meets-surfer-meets-academic. The little city is home redwood forests, miles of coastline, and one of the University of California's 10 campuses. It's also home to HI Santa Cruz, comprised of five historic Victorian cottages within walking distance of the beach. Beginning surfers will want to try out Cowell's Beach, just a few blocks from the hostel. If you've brought your own board, the hostel will store it for you for free; otherwise, discounted board rentals and surfing lessons are available for guests.
Getting off the Beaten Path
Hoping for a truly unique day at the beach? Brave souls may want to scope out Tunitas Creek Beach, near HI-Pigeon Point. Tunitas Creek's famous for the sea caves carved out of its towering cliffs, but visiting them can be tricky: You'll have to carefully scramble down a rocky cliff side to get down to the beach.
"Another amazing anomaly is Pebble Beach, about four miles north of the lighthouse," says HI Pigeon Point General Manager Jeff Parry. "The small cove at this State Beach has millions of pebbles instead of sand. It's like an M&M truck crashed there and all the candy petrified into these pebbles."
No matter what your style, chances are, Northern California's got just the beach for you. But if the road's calling you further south, be sure to check out HI's hostels in LA/Santa Monica and San Diego, too! Either way, here's wishing you a summer of sand between your toes, sunshine on your shoulders, and California dreams.
Stay at one of HI's many coastside Northern California hostels: HI-Point Montra, HI-Pigeon Point, HI-Marin Headlands, or one of our three San Francisco hostels.

Deep in the fine print of a $633-billion defense bill signed by President Obama on Wednesday, a provision aimed at the National Cancer Institute may hasten the development of earlier detection and treatment methods for deadly malignancies such as pancreatic cancer.
The Defense Authorization Act signed into law Jan. 2 carried along the Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act, a measure pressed by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and the Lung Cancer Alliance to shift the focus of the federal government's cancer research toward malignancies with poor early-detection and low survival rates.
Pancreatic cancer, which will claim the lives of more than 37,000 this year, has the lowest five-year survival rate, at 6%, of any of the major cancers.
The measure requires the director of the National Cancer Institute to identify cancers with a five-year relative survival rate below 50% and within 18 months, to develop a scientific framework for research on such cancers. That framework would not only summarize promising research on those cancers, but would identify under-researched areas, shortages of qualified researchers, and questions that need to be answered for survival rates to improve. That document should guide the NCI's allocation of research grants, the law states.
