Back on April 25, host Penn Charter rallied from a seven-goal deficit in the first half to squeeze past Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, 16-15, in girls lacrosse. The Quakers never led in the game until they won it on a shot that came with 17 seconds remaining.
In last Wednesday's rematch in Chestnut Hill, PC did not wait quite so long to move ahead of the Lions. Gaining their first lead at 10-9 with 10:59 remaining, the Quakers saw SCH come back to forge the fifth tie of the game at 11-11, then PC scored the last three goals of the afternoon during the final seven minutes.
The 14-11 victory resulted in a Girls Inter-Ac League record of 5-5 and an overall mark of 8-9 for Charter, which began the season 0-3. Senior Sarah Butler, who will attend Marist College, scored four goals, and there were hat tricks for junior Emma Ebert and freshman Avery Shoemaker.
Two goals apiece by juniors Kelly Kubach and Molly Pighini rounded out the scoring for the visitors, who started senior Rachel Weiner (two saves) in goal, and then had junior Allison Rogers (nine saves) take over in the cage in the middle of the first half.
In the SCH goalcage eighth-grader Elsa Rall went the distance to accumulate five saves, while senior Ellie Stout (Bucknell) led the attack with four goals and an assist. The Lions got a hat trick from senior Libbie Maine (Princeton) and two goals and an assist from classmate Casey Sullivan (scholarship to Lafayette). Jenny Lukoff scored one goal and set up two others, and the hosts got a goal and an assist from fellow junior Kitty Morrissey, who has given a verbal commitment to play for Duke University.
The Lions started out the season 5-0 but became bogged down after that, coming away from last week's PC tilt at 3-8 in the Inter-Ac and 8-12 overall. SCH has held a lead in most contests, but has had trouble closing them out, losing three one-goal games and dropping three others by three goals or less.
Both teams had seen league action the day before. Springside Chestnut Hill lost to powerful Academy of Notre Dame (17-7) for the second time this spring, while the Quakers knocked off Agnes Irwin (15-10), a team they lost to during the first round of Inter-Ac games.
"It's physically demanding to play back-to-back league games," observed first-year PC coach Channing Weymouth, "and you also need mental toughness to push through when you're tired. Today we got stronger as the game went on."
SCH took the opening draw and went on to dominate that category in the first half. Sullivan's free position shot got the Lions on the board in the first minute. The hosts' young goalie, Rall, stopped a close shot by PC's Pighini, but the Quakers evened it up about five minutes in, when Butler rolled around a defender to fire the first of her four.
A marker by the Lions' Maine was matched by Shoemaker for a 2-2 count, then the home team went up by two on consecutive strikes by Stout, each assisted by Lukoff. Pighini and Butler brought the visitors back to 4-4 with 7:49 to go in the half, but the Lions pushed ahead once more. After Sullivan and Maine found the net, a feed from the top of the arc by Morrissey found Lukoff coming around the crease.
Lukoff's marker made it 9-6 with 3:05 remaining, but with a little over a minute to go Shoemaker got one point back for Charter, which was down by two for the halftime huddle.
SCH junior Taylor Wrubel collected the draw at the start of the second half, but soon the Lions turned the ball over and the Quakers spent the next few minutes on offense. They were frustrated by Rall several times, then a loose ball was scooped up in the arc by Butler, who scored to pull PC within one. Five minutes in, SCH's Stout rolled around the cage to complete a personal hat trick, and the Lions were back up by two points.
Ebert's free-position gambit from the right side made it 8-7, but an attempted equalizer by Shoemaker was saved.
Stout scored her fourth goal of the day for SCH, but not long after that one of her teammates was sent off the field with a yellow card. On a free position during the penalty, Ebert aimed into the upper right corner for her second goal of the half. This pulled Penn Charter back within one goal again, 9-8, and it also proved to be the start of a 7-2 run for the Quakers over the final 15:37.
With the teams back even, PC keeper Rogers denied the hosts' Maine on a restart in the arc, and the Quakers came back down the field to earn a free-position opportunity of their own. Pighini converted to level the tally at 9-9 with 11:53 left to play.
The Lions snagged the next draw but quickly lost possession, and Kubach made a successful drive through the middle to give the visitors their first lead of the day. PC's Butler also drove hard to the cage for another goal, and the Quakers were up 11-9 at the 10-minute mark.
The Lions had a few growls left in them, and netted back-to-back goals in a 20-second span. Maine recovered a ground ball near midfield and loped in to score, then a pass from Sullivan set up a shot on the right edge of the crease by Morrissey. The clock showed 8:32 remaining with the score locked up at 11-all.
Penn Charter captured each of the last four draws of the day. On a free-position shot with 7:08 to go, Ebert completed her hat trick (all second-half goals), slipping the ball inside the right post about waist-high to move the Quakers ahead for keeps.
PC missed a catch in the arc during the next minute, but Kubach picked up the loose ball and scored the first insurance goal for the leaders. The final point went up with 4:57 left to play, with Shoemaker starting out in the flat to the right of the goal and penetrating to score.
Sophomore Julia Fleming came up with the ball on the subsequent draw, which was the last of the game. Playing with poise, PC ran down the clock as it passed the ball around in the offensive third. On a few errant passes the ball hit the ground, but Charter always got it back, and time ran out on the Lions.
"We played really smart in the last five minutes," remarked Weymouth. "The girls realized that we had enough goals to win if we took care of the ball."

Every once in a while, because I am a good wife, I ask Mr CC if there's anything he would like me to make. Every time (without fail) he will pick something that, when I look at the recipe, I think 'hmmm, not sure I can really be bothered with that'. These biscuits are a good example. They are also a good example of why you should let yourself be pushed out of your comfort zone because they are divine, and I would NEVER have chosen to make them!
I've made biscuits sandwiched with jam before but they don't have that chewy quality that a good jammy dodger has. Now I know why. It's because you should use raspberry caramel rather than jam. I say this like it's my idea – it isn't. I learned this whilst searching for recipes and coming across The Pink Whisk a blog written by a former Great British Bake Off finalist. The most I can take credit for here is being able to read.
I tend to avoid anything that involves making caramel; boiling sugar is not my friend. We fell out a while back when I decided to test if the top of a crème brulee was crispy but tapping it with my finger. Once I had separated finger tip from boiling sugar I realised I had a new kitchen foe to join yeast (well documented on this site) and squash (long story).
Passing the raspberries through a sieve is so much easier with a sieving mushroom. This is a simple piece of kit – I think mine cost under £3 but it is the best thing for getting every scrap of goodness out of something you're straining. It leaves behind a dry pulp of seeds. I've had mine for a few years now and I love the way each fruit stains the wood a darker colour – a sign of use! So much equipment is over-engineered or too complex but this is as simple as the day it was invented and does the job perfectly:
The caramel is a faff to make but worth it. Stupidly, I decided to double the quantity as I was doubling the biscuit amount – this meant it took longer to boil than it would normally and it wasn't necessary anyway as the recipe quantities (as stated below) makes more than you would need for a double batch of biscuits. Not that it's a bad thing – it keeps in the fridge for 3 weeks so I shall use it in other bakes.
The biscuit is a classic buttery vanilla biscuit and it's got a lovely short but not too crumbly texture. It's the perfect carrier for the star of the show – the raspberry caramel. It's more jammy than jam and, as you'll see from the recipe, contains a lot of sugar...but it's not too sweet. It is a really exciting discovery for me and I'm already thinking about how good blueberry caramel would be.
These were a big hit and I fear I've made a rod for my own back as I know they will be requested again. It's not that they're difficult to make but they take time. Any biscuit where you have to roll out and cut the dough takes time, but the addition of the caramel means they are not a quick bake. Good job I made a double batch!
Approx 75ml double cream
300g caster sugar
75ml water
100g unsalted butter, at room temperature
110g caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
340g plain flour

Indiana Excise Cracking Down on Underage Drinking at Tailgate Parties
Indiana excise officials are cracking down on underage drinking on campuses all across the state, and that has some students ticked off because they say the newfound strictness is taking the fun out of tailgating prior to football games.
Excise officers are working to "essentially change behavior" when it comes to alcohol related activities, according to excise spokesperson Corporal Travis Thickstun. Now, as part of the Intensified College Enforcement program, officers have their sights set on cleaning up six Indiana colleges including Ball State, Indiana State, Notre Dame, Pursue, Butler and Indiana University.
"The numbers of people who go to the hospital because they're too intoxicated, it's a concern to us," said Thickstun.
So far, the program appears to working. Police recently arrested 110 people at the September 14 Indiana University vs. Ball State game and handed out almost 100 citations at the September 22 game between Notre Dame and Michigan.
Excise officials say that student safety is their primary focus, as recent statistics from the U.S. Department of Justice indicate that nearly 90 percent of underage drinking happens in the form of binge drinking, which was responsible for killing nearly 2,000 college students last year.
Still, many students feel as though the crackdown has really put a damper on some of their social events. "It's like old glory died down. IU's just getting not as fun," said one recent IU graduate. "It's not bad; you can just tell it's mellowed down."
However, state excise officials say that while it may seem like just a bunch of kids having fun over a couple of beers, it's not. "You were seeing kids that are belligerent drunk, falling down, can't care for themselves. So it's not kids having one or two beers."

Many thanks for that - I'll take a look shortly :-)
It's not quite on any aspect on cognition, it's on "dispelling common myths about the so-called developing world", but it sounds interesting, particularly the promise that "You've never seen data presented like this". Not sure whether to be worried or excited :-)

I was thinking about this game today. I definitely going to pick it up.
Am I a terrible person for thinking I'll just buy it when it Steam sales at 50% eventually?I just know it will...
I pre-ordered it from HBS when it was 25% off, just before the offer expired. I didn't back the Kickstarter, since I mistakenly got the impression from somewhere that it was going to be mostly about combat, but the gameplay video convinced me otherwise - I didn't expect there to be non-combat areas, dialogue trees and skill checks, which are all positives.
I sadly never got to play the original even though it was on Genesis and I think SNES. I wanted to though as I think it had graphic adventure elements and that is my fave genre of game. The one that came out a few years ago was a straight up FPS, this looks different again. Does it have graphic adventure elements again?

Chicken Pickle
A friend shared with me this recipe to make chicken pickle, which i wanted to try from a long time. It was relatively easy to make and a very tasty pickle to have with rice. Also same recipe can be followed to make prawns pickle.
1 lb - Chicken, boneless or with bone, cut to small pieces
1/2 tsp - Turmeric powder
Salt to taste
To dry roast
10 - Cloves
2 '' long - Cinnamon sticks
4 to 5 - Star anise
5 to 6 - Green cardamom
For masala
2 tbsp - Poppy seeds
3 '' piece - Ginger
1 whole clove - Garlic
1/4 tsp - Turmeric powder
1.5 to 2 tbsp - Red chili powder
1 tbsp - Vinegar Or 1 tbsp - Lemon juice Or lemon salt
To season
1 tsp - Mustard seeds
1/2 tsp - Jeera seeds
2 to 3 sprigs - Curry leaves
1 to 1.5 cup - Sesame oil / vegetable oil
1 ) Cook chicken with turmeric powder and salt to taste. Mostly you will not need to add water, some water will come out of the chicken. Cook on low heat, covered with a lid till all the water is evaporated. Take off stove and cool.
2 ) Dry roast ingredients listed for that, cool and grind to a powder, set aside. Grind poppy seeds to a fine powder, set aside. Make a paste of ginger and garlic.
3 ) Heat 1 cup oil in kadai or wok, add cooked chicken pieces in small batches and fry lightly. Take off the oil and drain. To the same oil, add mustard seeds, jeera and then curry leaves. Now add ginger garlic paste and fry until golden brown.
4 ) Lower heat and add poppy seed powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, mix and fry for a second. Add the dry roasted masala powder and fry in oil for a second. Add chicken and mix with masala. Add vinegar, salt to taste and mix well. Take off the stove and cool. There should be good enough oil in the pickle. If not heat 1/2 cup more oil and add to the pickle. Oil will act as a preservative. You can add 1 tbsp more vinegar or lemon juice if you like the pickle to be a little more sour. If you want more gravy then increase poppy seeds and garlic-ginger amount.
When completely cool transfer to a sterilized bottle and store in fridge. You can keep outside for a day or two if you want and then keep in fridge.
Serve the pickle with rice, curds and pappad.

Marty from the site cfbstats is back with his statistical wizardry. He is helping us track the impact of rule 3-2-5-e, which is designed to reduce the time of games. The problem is, it's also reducing the number of plays, and anything that results in less college football is not a good thing. Especially when more and more commercials are interrupting play. Again, if you use any of this information, please give credit to cfbstats. It's a terrific site and if you want to see how your team is doing from a statistical standpoint, it's the only place to go.
Here are the five shortest games from Week 3:
Colorado State-Nevada: 2:25
Buffalo-Northern Illinois: 2:34
Western Michigan-Virginia: 2:40
Eastern Michigan-Northwestern: 2:42
North Texas-Tulsa: 2:43
Here are the five longest games from Week 3:

Happy summer! Maybe it's just because my birthday is coming up soon (hey, 31, how you doin'?) or maybe it's because all the sunshine has gone to my head or maybe it's all the ice cream I've been eating … but this summer is shaping up pretty well so far.
To start things off, Nadine and I met up in Berlin — which seems like a long time ago now, though actually it was only about 10 days ago — and what a nice welcome it was to see a fellow knitter. She saw the sights, I went to the library, we both enjoyed dinner together. Not a bad start at all. (Though neither of us remembered to take pictures.)
Then I went to Switzerland. It rained.
This church is across the border in Germany, on an island, and very old. The weather played nice, the rain stopped, and we all — all seven of us — enjoyed a walk around Reichenau Island.
It was a lovely way to end a too short visit. A visit that nonetheless managed to include a new bag for me:
It's so pretty and green! And made of truck tarps and seat belts!
My suitcase, however, proved decidedly less rugged. The zipper broke just as we were leaving for the train station … uh oh. A little engineering magic saved the day and nothing exploded on the night train. In fact, the only surprise was that my "ladies compartment" contained four men. And me. So that didn't go as planned.
I did, however, arrive unmolested and with a functioning suitcase.
I was very happy to find "The Third Man" still playing in Vienna.
Today, I visited a museum then enjoyed some café culture, which included a little reading and a whole lot of sitting and watching the world go by while sipping coffee and enjoying Kaiserschmarrn … which is pretty much dessert disguised as a meal: a sweet pancake cooked in butter. This time with plum sauce and lots of powdered sugar.
But the best part of summer? Freckles!
I'm back home soon and, I promise, knitting will commence.

Another way to do a scarification body modification is cutting of the skin. This cutting style is not to be confused with self cutting to deal with emotional pain; scarification cutting is only done for cosmetic purposes. Surgical blades are used to cut the skin in this type of scarification. When the professional uses the sterilized surgical blade to create a body modification, the lines are generally thin. The thin cuts that were done might not leave the desired scar the person was hoping for. Removing a portion of the skin in the body art is usually required to create a larger more predominate scar. Depending on how big the art piece being done is and how big of a scar is being desired, will determine how much skin will need to be removed.
Other Scarification Methods
Skinning is usually part of the cutting method in scarification because of the different sizes of designs and the size of the scar that is trying to be achieved. A surgical blade is used to make the outside lines where the skinning is going to happen in the art design and then the skin is peeled away, leaving an open wound to scar over.
Hatching is another method used to create a scar; it's much like skin removal or skinning. The motion an artist uses to sketch a picture is the same motion used in hatching, a surgical scalpel is used instead of a drawling utensil. The skin is then removed.
Along with cutting, there are other techniques that are used to create the perfect scar. One of the most heard of is ink rubbing. After the cutting of the scarification has been done some body art enthusiast take a sterile coloring agent, usually tattoo ink and rub it into the open wounds. As the healing process begins, the ink remains in the skin. It is important not to pick the scabs because it will pull the sterile coloring agent out. The end result of ink rubbing maybe very disappointing. Most people view this body modification as a shoddily done tattoo instead of a scarification.
Another techniques used along with cutting is Packing. Packing is done mostly in Africa. A diagonal incision is made and either a form of clay or ashes are placed inside the open wound. The natural healing process of the body will form a scar and slowly push the ash or clay out, leaving a bigger scar then without a substance in the cut. In the United States, it is not unheard of for people to use cigar ashes or ashes of a deceased loved one in the packing scarification process.
Abrasion is another process that can be done to do a scarification body modification. This method basically uses friction to remove layers of skin to create a scar. The friction needed to create this scar can be caused from using a tattoo machine without any ink, sandpaper, or a dermal tool tip to grind away the layers of skin. The type of scar that is usually left from abrasion is not as raised as other methods. Chemical abrasion can also be done to create a body modification, although this is a far less known and explored form of scarification.
Body piercing and modification needs a lot of care to prevent infections. H2Ocean Spray is the most effective product to cleanse and heal the external body piercings.

Savannah Chic
This Georgian-style house epitomizes classic charm and timeless style
Jennifer Abshire is a hard-working public relations expert who has a talent for turning strangers into friends. "When I sit on my front steps, I meet people from down the street, from New Jersey, and from Belarus," she enthuses. "I love sharing the magic that makes Savannah so special." Her friendly philosophy is expressed in her sophisticated residence, which overlooks the Spanish-moss-strung live oaks of Lafayette Square. Warm and welcoming, the magnificent Georgian-style house epitomizes classic charm and timeless style.
As the owner of a public relations firm, Jennifer specializes in media relations, business development, and strategic planning. Without a traditional brick-and-mortar office, she runs her business from wherever she happens to be, whether she's leading business meetings at her dining room table or answering client calls on her cell phone while vacationing in the Turks and Caicos islands.
Jennifer's stately 1888 brick house commands a prominent corner in Savannah's National Landmark Historic District. Over the years, it has been a church social hall and an antiques shop.
In addition to running her public relations firm, Jennifer stays plenty busy taking her son, Phillip, 13, to football practice and shuttling her daughter, Reilly, 9, to tennis lessons (among dozens of other daily tasks every mother knows well!).

Instead of filling every inch of the spacious rooms, Jennifer decided to let the interiors breathe. "I didn't want to clutter it up with stuff. I'm a big believer that a few select items make a huge difference." With oversized windows, parquet flooring, and a blend of furniture styles, the living room is a favorite gathering place.

A lush, evergreen courtyard runs the length of the home, providing a place to relax. Wrought-iron furniture, a stone fish pond, and a pyramid-capped outdoor fireplace serve as focal points in this botanical sanctuary planted with shade trees, fragrant jasmine, and orange cape honeysuckle.
Jennifer loves the fact that this venerable home has been transformed into a stylish retreat. "My favorite way to entertain is to open the doors to the garden and have friends over for cocktails and good conversation," she says. "It's a very comfortable place."Shutter paint: custom.Outdoor fireplace sculpture; garden walkway: designed by former owner Bruce Capra.Large planters: Universe Trading Co., 912/233-1585.Wrought-iron table, chairs, and benches: Smith & Hawken, 800/981-9888.

Jennifer Abshire believes in giving back to her community. Inspired by female philanthropists early in her career, she has founded a local chapter of Chicks With Checks, which unites working women who share a common desire to "get personal" with their philanthropy. This group of businesswomen has raised $25,000 to donate to local organizations in need.
"Our philosophy is to give money as a group, without getting credit as individuals," Jennifer explains. She also chairs the Savannah Technical College Foundation board of directors, is a community adviser for the Junior League of Savannah, and is on the board of the Lady Bamford Early Childhood Education Center. "I have found that the more involved I am in community activities, the more I learn about myself and how best to help others," Jennifer says proudly. "Helping others is what motivates me."

Arvidsjaur, Sweden - Test drives on a lake generally don't reveal much about a new car. In the case of the 2015 Volkswagen Golf R, a spin on ice more than thirty inches thick—stable enough to land an airplane on—tells you the first thing you want to know about how different the seventh-generation Golf's supersporty R flagship is from the Golf VI version.
Can you completely shut off the new Golf R's electronic stability control (ESC) and escape any artificial intervention?
Yes, you can.
In the previous Golf R, the stability control automatically reengaged at the first tap of the brakes. That didn't sit well with old-fashioned enthusiasts who prefer to save a car from a slide themselves, even though it surely saved the bacon of many a kid racer.
To give us a taste of the 2015 Golf R's newfound capabilities, VW let a motley crew of automotive journalists slide and drift the cars on the lake. We also got to follow a rally instructor and pretend to be rally drivers ourselves as winter temperatures hovered between zero and 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Granted, the tires fitted to our test cars are not even legal in most states (studded rubber from Lappi Winter Tyres).
What we learned was this: The steering is quick, making it easy to snap the R into a drift. There is sufficient steering feedback and seat-of-the-pants feel to warn about all the different surfaces and levels of adhesion. The perfectly bolstered driver's seat holds you in place but doesn't hinder ingress and egress. The Audi-designed, 290-hp, 2.0-liter EA888 turbo four-cylinder, coupled to a smooth-shifting six-speed manual, puts down much more power than you need through the car's standard Haldex all-wheel-drive system. The Haldex clutch sends torque front to back, and the brakes control the flow side to side. Stability control is superfluous, even in the lightly intervening ESC Sport mode. It's a blast. At least, it is if you love driving on ice and snow.
Even with stability control on, the system allows some oversteer, and ESC Sport mode, which intervened once or twice on a couple of tight turns, is even better. But in the end, you, too, would have given in to the delights of a slick track and gone naked, turning off every possible stability control measure. The worst that could happen is that a Touareg would have to pull you out of a snowbank (didn't happen). That's how you go skinny-dipping on a frozen lake.
The 2015 Volkswagen Golf R will also be available with a six-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission. It shaves 0.2 second off the six-speed manual's 5.1-second 0-to-62-mph sprint, VW says, but it also drops the highway estimate by 3 mpg. While the automaker is proud of its automatic and says it will continue to account for at least half of U.S. Golf R sales, all of the test cars on the lake were, tellingly, manuals. Both two- and four-door hatchback models were on hand, but only the latter will be available stateside, at least at launch. Weight is down by about 90 pounds versus the previous model, to a little more than 3000 pounds (closer to 3300 with the dual-clutch transmission). VW's R GmbH, a subsidiary like Audi's Quattro GmbH, designed and engineered the car.
We won't get the Euro-spec Golf R's Eco mode for the driver select system, but we will get Normal, Individual (like Audi's system), and Race modes. All operate separately from the ESC on/off/Sport system, and the Race setting stiffens the chassis, speeds up the DSG-equipped cars' shift points, and permanently opens the intake/exhaust resonators. Only the last of these lack subtlety. Although the rally exercise prompted us to mostly use the Race mode, Normal would be good enough for this setting. We'll have a choice of two levels of leather interiors, both with the same seat design, and will likely have more standard equipment than in Europe, such as the keyless start system.
We won't get the Euro-spec car's Eco mode, but we will get Normal, Individual (customizable), and Race modes. All operate separately from the stability control. The Race setting stiffens the chassis, speeds up the DSG's shift points, and permanently opens the intake/exhaust resonators. Although the rally exercise prompted us to mostly use Race mode, Normal would be good enough for everyday situations.
With the 2015 Volkswagen Golf R, the Subaru WRX STI will once again have a true competitor, even as the Mitsubishi Evo rides into the sunset. The Volkswagen Golf R, which just a couple of generations ago was an overengined German muscle car, has evolved into an attractive hatchback that balances power with handling finesse. At least, as far as a drive on a frozen lake can reveal.

If you haven't heard by now, AAA is predicting that some 93.3 million Americans are expected to travel this holiday season – which the group defines as spanning from Saturday, Dec. 22 to Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 – with 84.4 million of them (almost 90%) making their trips by automobile.
Think the words "traffic congestion" would be appropriate for use right about now?
AAA added that those 93.3 million holiday travelers – an increase of 1.6% over last year's numbers and within half a million of the decade "high water" holiday travel mark set during the 2006/2007 season – are expected to journey 50 miles or more from home, with transportation costs consuming about 29 cents of every travel dollar.
The group – which bases its predictions on economic forecasting and research by IHS Global Insight by the way – also estimates that the national average price of gasoline will continue to slowly drop through the end of the year, averaging between $3.20 and $3.40 per gallon by New Year's Day.
That's better than what the Energy Information Administration (EIA) is projecting, however.
In terms of fuel prices, the agency thinks that regular gasoline retail prices in the U.S. should average $3.63 per gallon by the end of this year, then fall to $3.43 per gallon in 2013.
Not too shabby when compared to the average U.S. price for gasoline in 2011 of $3.53 per gallon, when you think about it.
[Diesel fuel retail prices in the U.S., by the way, should average $4.02 per gallon during the fourth quarter of 2012 before falling to an average of $3.84 per gallon in 2013, the EIA said.]
Still, AAA pointed out that while gasoline prices dropped about 50 cents a gallon on average from September through early December, they yet remain at record highs for this time of year.
Let's just hope Santa Claus keeps putting lower fuel prices under the tree. Hey! You just never know ...

We aim to not only define the molecular criteria required for aqueous anion detection, a long-standing challenge in molecular recognition, but will also make fundamental contributions to understanding the roles of anions in biological systems with applications in the development of diagnostics and treatment of associated diseases. To achieve these goals, we employ techniques in synthetic chemistry, protein engineering, spectroscopy, molecular and cellular biology, and bioimaging.

Dr. Draper's current research interests are how nanoparticles interact with mammalian cells and applications of nanoparticles to problems in the emerging field of nanomedicine. To foster work at the interface of biology and nanotechnology, Draper started a bionanosciences initiative at UT Dallas in 2002 that involves interdisciplinary faculty who collaborate on projects at the interface of biology and nanotechnology, including the use of nanoparticles for the photo-thermal ablation of tumor cells, studies on nanoparticle toxicity, and the use of nanoparticles to improve the delivery of macromolecules such as siRNA and DNA to cells. Draper is also the cofounder of a company whose focus centers on translating basic research in nanomedicine to various biomedical markets including the research, diagnostics, therapeutics and veterinary sectors.

In molecular simulation research powerful computers are used to accurately model real systems using statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics. This provides a sort of "virtual laboratory" in which almost any property can be measured or examined, including those which are not accessible to experiments. We use simulations to develop an atomic-scale understanding of the behavior of complex systems. We are currently working on:
- Multi-scale modeling of amorphous porous materials, in particular silica aerogels and gel-based composites
- Development of new models for metals and ceramic materials
- Prediction and understanding of the properties of metallic glasses using simulations
- Simple models for understanding and controlling self-assembly
- Understanding phase transitions in confined systems
- New methods for molecular simulations, including advanced Monte Carlo algorithms and robust techniques for locating phase transitions.

Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) are one of the two hallmark lesions of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and their accumulation has been used to assess the severity of the disease. They are composed of paired helical filaments (PHF), a form of amyloid resulting from the aggregation of the microtubule-associated protein tau. Our laboratory has found that peptides as short as 3-6 amino acids are able to initiate the formation of twisted filaments, similar to PHF. We believe that these short amyloid-forming peptides provide an excellent model for studying the structural basis of PHF and amyloid, in general. By understanding the structural basis for amyloid formation, a rational design of therapeutic agents able to prevent PHF accumulation can be undertaken. In addition to using short tau-related peptides to understand the basis of amyloid formation, they may be used as targeting agents for amyloid. For example, we have recently shown that contrast agents prepared from these peptides and a gadolinium chelate bind strongly to senile plaque and NFTs and may act as MRI probes for the diagnosis of AD.

Work in the Novak Group has focused on the synthesis and properties of a unique family of helical macromolecules, the polycarbodiimides. Inspired by the helices of nature, these polymers display unusual properties including antimicrobial activities, liquid crystallinity, and act as chemical sensors, tunable polarizers, and optical switches. Polycarbodiimides are prepared through a metal catalyzed polymerization of carbodiimides. When chiral catalysts are used, helical polymers with a single screw-sense are produced that display unusual chiro-optic properties including reversible optical switching. Beauty and function.

When choosing office chairs for your workplace, it is ideal if you can test it out first to make sure that it feels comfortable enough. This is one way for you to make sure that you are at ease while sitting on it, and that it will give you ample room to move. One of the disadvantages of buying office chairs online is that you do not have the luxury of trying out the chair before buying them, only to discover that the chair does not offer a good fit for you.
If you are planning to buy in bulk because you have many employees, it is advisable that you look for retailers, dealers, or companies which give a discount to those who buy in large quantities. Aside from this benefit, there are some who would let you pick the fabric that you prefer and you can have the chair made according to your unique preferences and specifications. Make sure that they offer a good warranty in office furniture chairs.
Some of the styles of Lazyboy chairs include the sofa type, sectional, loveseat, recliner, and of course the traditional chair. Their are outdoor chairs too which are perfect for the patio. The swivel chair is another item of furniture that can come in very useful as it is highly adaptable. The wide range of swivel chair models available means that they can be used for the office or even as an additional chair in a living room or bedroom. Like many other types of chair, swivel chairs are available in a range of sizes, colors, and made from a number of materials.
The importance of putting good office furniture and equipment in the workplace cannot be overemphasized. While its true that some business transactions are handled outside of the office, the office is where most initial deals are made, and its also the venue for implementing and brainstorming effective business operations and strategies. One of the most essential furnishings in a workplace of any kind is the office furniture chair. There is a wide array of office chairs available in the market today, which can fit any purpose intended for it.

REDWOOD CITY — A judge Thursday ordered billionaire Vinod Khosla to testify in a courtroom battle over his decision to bar the public from a picturesque San Mateo County beach enjoyed by several generations of Bay Area residents for fishing, surfing and picnics.
Khosla, a venture capitalist known for investing in alternative energy, has fought to keep his ownership of Martins Beach a secret since he bought the 89-acre property in 2008 for $37.5 million, but he will now be thrust into the spotlight. He is scheduled to testify Monday afternoon.
The decision by San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Barbara Mallach came on the opening day of a trial that centers upon the conflict between two fundamental principles: the constitutional rights of a private property owner and the public's right to access the California coast. It is arguably the most important such clash since media mogul David Geffen lost a legal battle a decade ago to keep the public from crossing his property to reach Carbon Beach in Malibu.
The Deeney family, the previous owner of Martins Beach, allowed the public to visit for a fee. But Khosla, who bought the land under the name Martins Beach LLC, discontinued that practice in 2010, permanently locking the gate on a private road off Highway 1 that leads down to the ocean.
The beach, located a few miles south of Half Moon Bay, is framed on either side by cliffs and cannot be accessed from the north or south except by boat. Under California law, the public has the right to access the beach up to the median high tide line.
Eric Buescher, lead attorney for the Surfrider Foundation, argued Khosla knowingly violated California law. Locking the gate and two other acts — painting over a billboard advertising the beach and hiring security guards — changed both the public's ability to access the water and the intensity of its use, Buescher said. Those steps constituted development under coastal law and required a permit from the California Coastal Commission, he said, which Khosla never sought.
"That process is important because it protects the public's rights and interests," Buescher said outside court.
Jeffrey Essner, attorney for Martins Beach LLC, countered there is no right of public access to Martins Beach, since the public was invited onto the property for a fee. Withdrawing the invitation, he said, does not amount to development.
"Access is not development," said Essner. "I can't emphasize that point more."
Essner said his client has not constructed any buildings or fences since buying the property, which is home to about 40 rental cabins whose leases will expire in the coming decade. The Deeney family built the gate more than two decades ago, he said, and they often locked it — during winter months, for instance, or private events.
"The evidence will show," said Essner, "that Martins Beach LLC never engaged in any act of development."
Khosla's ownership of Martins Beach LLC was finally confirmed last year during a separate lawsuit brought by a group called Friends of Martins Beach. San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Gerald Buchwald ruled in that case, which was argued on different grounds, that the question of the public's right to access the beach was moot because the land was in private hands before the United States acquired California following the Mexican-American War. Gary Redenbacher, attorney for Friends of Martins Beach, plans to appeal.
Khosla's attorneys fought to prevent him from testifying in this trial, but Mallach rejected their argument that Khosla's testimony is immaterial. Essner and co-counsel Dori Yob claimed Thursday that property manager Steven Baugher, not Khosla, makes all decisions pertaining to the property, including barring public access.

March 5, 2014 + On the Interpretation of the Psalms (Part 3)
THE LETTER OF ST. ATHANASIUS TO MARCELLINUS ON THE INTERPRETATION OF THE PSALMS (Part 3)
....Moreover, he went on, the opposite is true, to some extent; for, just as the Psalter includes the special subjects of all the other books, so also do they often contain something of the special feature of the Psalter. Moses, for example, writes a song; Isaiah does the same, and Habakkuk offers prayer in form of song. And in the same way in every book we see something alike of prophecy, of law-giving, and of history; for the same Spirit is in all and He, being by nature One and Indivisible, is given whole to each: yet is He diverse in His manifestations to mankind, and each one who is taught by and receives Him ministers the word according to the moment's need. Thus (as I said before) Moses is at times a prophet and a psalmist, and the Prophets on occasion both lay down laws (like Wash you, make you clean. Wash clean your heart from wickedness, Jerusalem [Is 1:16; Jer 4:14]), and also record history, as when Daniel relates the story of Susanna [Dan 12] or Isaiah tells us about the Rab-shakeh and Sennacherib [Is 36-37]. Similarly the Psalter, whose special function is to utter songs, generalizes in song matters that are treated in detail in the other books, as I have shown you. It also even lays down laws at times, such as Leave off from wrath and let go displeasure, incline thine heart from evil and do good. Seek peace and ensue it, as well as telling us the history of Israel's journey and prophesying the coming of the Saviour, as I said just now.
You see, then, that the grace of the one Spirit is common to every writer and all the books of Scripture, and differs in its expression only as need requires and the Spirit wills. Obviously, therefore, the only thing that matters is for each writer to hold fast unyieldingly the grace he personally has received and so fulfil perfectly his individual mission. And, among all the books, the Psalter has certainly a very special grace, a choiceness of quality well worthy to be pondered; for, besides the characteristics which it shares with others, it has this peculiar marvel of its own, that within it are represented and portrayed in all their great variety the movements of the human soul. It is like a picture, in which you see yourself portrayed, and seeing, may understand and consequently form yourself upon the pattern given. Elsewhere in the Bible you read only that the Law commands this or that to be done, you listen to the Prophets to learn about the Saviour's coming, or you turn to the historical books to learn the doings of the kings and holy men; but in the Psalter, besides all these things, you learn about yourself. You find depicted in it all the movements of your soul, all its changes, its ups and downs, its failures and recoveries. Moreover, whatever your particular need or trouble, from this same book you can select a form of words to fit it, so that you do not merely hear and then pass on, but learn the way to remedy your ill. Prohibitions of evil-doing are plentiful in Scripture, but only the Psalter tells you how to obey these orders and abstain from sin. Repentance, for example, is enjoined repeatedly; but to repent means to leave off sinning, and it is the Psalms that show you how to set about repenting and with what words your penitence may be expressed. Again, Saint Paul says, Tribulation worketh endurance, and endurance experience, and experience hope, and hope maketh not ashamed [Rom 5:3, 5]; but it is in the Psalms that we find written and described how afflictions should be borne, and what the afflicted ought to say, both at the time and when his troubles cease: the whole process of his testing is set forth in them and we are shown exactly with what words to voice our hope in God. Or take the commandment, In everything give thanks. [1 Thess 5:18] The Psalms not only exhort us to be thankful, they also provide us with fitting words to say. We are told, too, by other writers that all who would live godly in Christ must suffer persecution;[2 Tim 3:12] and here again the Psalms supply words with which both those who flee persecution and those who suffer under it may suitably address themselves to God, and it does the same for those who have been rescued from it. We are bidden elsewhere in the Bible also to bless the Lord and to acknowledge Him: here in the Psalms we are shown the way to do it, and with what sort of words His majesty may meetly be confessed. In fact, under all the circumstances of life, we shall find that these divine songs suit ourselves and meet our own souls' need at every turn.
St. Mark the Ascetic of Egypt
Thy soul was divinely illumined, O Mark; thou didst shine as a bright light in the world and put to flight its darkness. Thou didst persuade all to seek their lost treasure even the grace of the Holy Spirit. Entreat Him to grant us His great mercy.
