Coach Schneider's thoughts
Valparaiso matched a program record for runs in a single game to cap off a Horizon League doubleheader sweep at Detroit The Crusaders took the opener, 10-0, before exploding for an 18-2 win in the nightcap. Junior KC Boldt (Red Wing, Minn./Red Wing) matched Crusader single-game records, which go back a dozen years, with four hits and six RBIs in the second game. on Friday afternoon.
The 18-run output matched the effort in an 18-7 win over Notre Dame a quarter-century ago on April 20, 1985. The Crusaders put up multiple runs in all five innings of Friday's record-setting win, including five-run innings in the second and fifth frames. Valpo's 18 hits in the nightcap also set a new single-game mark for the dozen years that records are available.
"Regardless of who we play, we have to go out and play hard," said Crusader head coach Randy Schneider. "That's what we've been trying to get our team to do and they've really responded to it over the past few games. This has been a great opportunity to get all our players some time either pitching or hitting and playing the field, and every player is responding and playing well. We are playing some very good softball as a team right now, and we just have to continue doing that."
Boldt earned a rare starting assignment in left field in the second game and took advantage to break out with a career game, tallying RBI singles in each of her first three at-bats before capping her tremendous 4-for-4, 6-RBI day with a no-doubt 3-run homer to center field in the fifth inning. The junior had entered Friday's action with just three career hits and four career RBIs.
"We're all very proud of the job KC did for us today," said Schneider. "She dealt with illness in the early stages of this season and really is just rounding back into form. She stepped in today when we called on her to start and obviously had an incredible day. I thought Tori hit the ball very well as well that second game, and Sadie had a tremendous day in both games. We moved Sadie into the four-hole in the lineup a few games back, and she has really taken that responsibility on well."
Sadie Conner (Washington, Ill./Washington) and Kelsey Phalen (Batavia, Ill./Batavia) got the Crusaders off to a strong start in the nightcap. Conner tallied an RBI double in the first inning and Phalen an RBI groundout to give Valpo a 2-0 lead after one frame. Following Boldt's first RBI single, Conner tallied a two-run double and Phalen followed by turning on a high pitch for a two-run homer to left-center field to push the Crusader advantage to 7-0.
Boldt picked up another of her RBI singles in Valpo's next at-bat, with a three-run homer by Jordan Rutkowski (Alden, N.Y./Alden) capping a four-run third inning to make it 11-0 Valpo. Detroit answered with two runs in its half of the third, but Tori Brown (Harrison, Ohio/Harrison) produced an RBI double and Boldt her third RBI single of the game in the top of the fourth to make it an 11-run game again. Jessie Marinec (Alsip, Ill./Marist) and Lisa DeBruzzi (Carlisle, Mass./Concord-Carlisle) each tallied RBIs in the fifth inning before Boldt's three-run bomb capped the scoring.
Conner went 3-for-3 with two runs scored and three RBIs in the nightcap, while Phalen and Rutkowski each also drove in three runs. Brown went 3-for-4 with three runs scored, while Marinec also had a three-hit performance. In the circle, Jill Jacobson (Beecher, Ill./Beecher) struck out three hitters in 1.2 innings of work in her starting assignment, while Amanda Bolton (Phoenix, Ariz./Horizon [Arizona]) and Shaleigh Jansen (Ottawa, Ill./Ottawa Township) each saw work as well at pitcher. The latter earned the victory to improve to 4-3, throwing 2.1 innings of one-hit ball while striking out five batters. Stefanie Morong took the complete-game loss for Detroit, falling to 0-4.
The opener saw Valpo take the lead in the top of the first thanks to a two-run long ball to left-center off the bat of Conner. But that would be the only output for the Crusaders in the first three innings, as Detroit hurler Anna Bondy shut them down early. Alex Lagesse (Beecher, Ill./Beecher) kept Valpo in the lead, however, allowing just one baserunner in the first three frames.
The Crusaders finally got the offense going in the fourth, putting up four runs on four hits while also taking advantage of a couple of Titan errors. DeBruzzi picked up an RBI infield single, while Jacobson and Sara Strickland (Phoenix, Ariz./Horizon) posted back-to-back RBI doubles later in the inning. The final inning brought four more Valpo runs across the plate to cap the scoring, as Jennifer Hermanson (Beecher, Ill./Beecher) drew an RBI walk, Strickland tallied an RBI groundout and Joylyn Ichiyama (Torrance, Calif./Redondo Union) added an RBI single.
Conner, DeBruzzi, Ichiyama and Phalen all had multi-hit games in the opener, while Conner also scored three runs and drove in two. The junior third baseman closed the day 5-for-7 with five runs scored, five RBIs and four extra-base hits. Lagesse earned the win in the circle, improving to 9-3 after striking out five in four innings of work, while Carrie Franson (Arlington, Wis./Poynette) closed out the game with a hitless inning in the fifth. Bondy took the loss for Detroit (2-15, 0-5 Horizon), falling to 2-6 this year, but gave up just two earned runs in her four innings.
Valparaiso (22-7, 4-0 Horizon) closes out the three-game series against the Titans with a single game on Saturday at 11 a.m. CDT. Live stats and live chat will be available for the game at www.valpoathletics.com.

CryptoTestament Launches Encrypted Technology Designed to Protect Digital Legacies
February 5, 2017 February 5, 2017 Eleanore digital death
Click here to view original web page at www.digitaljournal.com
CryptoTestament's new Kickstarter campaign provides tools to safeguard important financial and digital information
This press release was orginally distributed by SBWire
Montreal, QC -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/19/2017 -- CryptoTestament, developers of new encrypted technology tools to secure postmortem digital legacies — including credentials and passwords, Bitcoin accounts and digital files —today launched its Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to bring the digital technology to consumers.
CryptoTestament bridges the gap between estate laws, which grant families access to digital data, and privacy laws, which often prohibit access after a family member has passed away. As simple as using a thumb drive or saving a file to the cloud, CryptoTestament uses AES 256-bit encryption with a manageable console allowing CryptoTestament to unlock the device after death. The device is secured using the same certification used by the NSA and other govern-ment agencies. With the proper credentials and proof of death, the company works with the ex-ecutor of the will to pass the secure digital legacy on to the family member or confidante chosen by the client.
"In today's digital landscape, more and more sensitive information, both personal and financial, is being stored digitally and is not recoverable after death unless family members have access to passwords and accounts. CryptoTestament aims to address this growing issue and preserve one's 'digital legacy' for their heirs," said Tom Falardeau-Leclerc, CryptoTestament's CEO and founder. "Bitcoin accounts, for example, are not recoverable after death without specific creden-tials and families can suffer significant financial losses if they do not properly plan. Estate plan-ning must now account for digital activity, and CryptoTestament easily meets that need for con-sumers."
Various storage sizes of USB-style encrypted devices are utilized to meet individual storage needs. Free for the first year of service, the devices are (all U.S. dollars) $70 for 8GB, $90 for 16GB and $110 for 32GB.
"CryptoTestament works like a safety deposit box at your bank," Falardeau-Leclerc said. "It is an extra layer of protection necessary to preserve and secure all sensitive digital files, including cryptocurrency accounts, passwords, music, video, photos and more in this digital age."

About CryptoTestament
Based in Montreal, Quebec, CryptoTestament's mission is to secure the digital legacies of people after they pass away. The encrypted hardware and cloud technology ensures all digital files, passwords, Bitcoin accounts and more are safely protected and can be easily accessed by family members. Founded in 2012, CryptoTestament is currently raising funds on Kickstarter to bring this technology to the masses.

Your weekly dose of quality online writing about the Arts
Graphics or Gameplay? – Lauren Marriner
Date: March 24, 2010Author: splendidfred 0 Comments
Nowadays, when hearing people saying how wonderful a game is they talk about the graphics. Too many times have I heard "It's got really good graphics, you should buy it!" I am myself guilty of thinking a game would be awesome just by looking at screenshots. But often there have been games that, after all the technical hype, have disappointed.
For example, Tomb Raider: Underworld was one of the games that got me excited and heady. It promised to be free roam and the player would be able to see the famous heroine Lara Croft getting dirty, wet from rain and scratched by branches etc. Crystal Dynamics promised the next generation of Tomb Raider, and I was drooling. I was let down. Not only was it not free roam- yes the maps were large and wonderfully vibrant- but it was terribly short. The plot was unimaginative and hardly complex despite some surprises. It took a little less than eight hours to complete, and this was even after I explored every landscape extensively.
The graphics were high-quality but the storyline suffered. It was not the old Tomb Raider with its blocky landscapes that I had grown to love. The levels then were much longer and had many sections; it took days/weeks to complete rather than mere hours. The first Lara was only 230 polygons rather than the 9800 in Underworld.
Would you rather have a game with mind-blowing graphics with a boring, predictable storyline, or 'blockiness' and a plot that gets you extremely engaged? Perfect Dark has just been re-released on the 360 marketplace after being originally for sale in 2000, and is just as popular now as it was then, if not more so.
To be fair, the gaming market is extremely competitive nowadays: every game trying to outdo each other and promise a more amazing experience. Avatar: The Game is proof that technology is moving far too fast, with a 3D game. Because of this, Ubisoft produced a game that was visually advanced but became surrounded by negative reviews and feedback, and the main gripe? The game play and story were bad.
However, a game that proves you can have outstanding graphics and a storyline worth playing is Uncharted. Uncharted is the game that stands out in my mind as being both a treat for the eyes and a worthy plot. The characters were motion captured so the movements were realistic. The landscapes are perfect, and Nathan Drake's jeans get wet when he walks through water- they worked hard on every detail and the game has been very popular in response. Call of Duty is another set of games that can both deliver quality graphics and storylines where others have fallen short. There is no doubt that both fields can be well-considered on a game.
So, my main argument is: I think people are focusing too much on the polygon count these days and expecting far too much. Consoles have evolved rapidly in the last few years and the games are finding it hard to keep up. Shouldn't we learn to be patient and appreciate what we have at the moment and not wait for the next generation, because who knows if it's going to be any better?
That's why I still have my old Xbox and Game Boy color and plan to keep them, because the old games never seem to grow old. That's my opinion anyway.

Q: On Catalan's complete solution to the equation $T^2=U^2+V^2+W^2$ Catalan proved the following: If $t,u,v,w$ are coprime integers such that
\begin{equation*}
 t^2 = u^2 + v^2 + w^2,
\end{equation*}
then there exist integers $\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta$ such that
\begin{align*}
 t &= \alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2 + \delta^2,  \\
 u &= \alpha^2 + \beta^2 - \gamma^2 - \delta^2, \\
 v &= 2(\alpha\gamma +\beta\delta), \\
 w &= 2(\alpha\delta-\beta\gamma).
\end{align*}
My question is this: If $t,u,v,w$ are such that there are no positive integer solutions (i.e., at least one of $\alpha, \beta,\gamma,\delta$ must be negative), what could be proven about $t,u,v,w$ without any additional information being given?
Note: Obviously, the signs don't affect the magnitude of $t$ or $u$ (because they are sums of squares) — but signs do affect the [relative?] magnitude of $v$ and $w$.
EXAMPLE: I have been unable to find positive integers $\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta$ such that $(t,u,v,w)=(13,3,12,4)$; but allowing negative numbers, one possible solution [of four that I've found] is $(\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta)=(2,2,-1,2)$.

Presidents Report - Autumn 2017
2017 is going to be a busy and hopefully an interesting year for the Division. The Avalon Airshow 2017 was a great opportunity to promote the Association. This year we were accompanied by B24 Liberator Restoration who placed a Norden Bombsight on display. Together we attracted a good deal of interest. I'd like to thank Bob Brackin who negotiated the space with Avalon Airshow management and organised the display. Also, a big thank you to the many volunteers who staffed the stand over the Trade and Public Days.
In February, we welcomed two new branches, the 2SQN Branch and the RAF Branch. That's nearly 100 additional members, but it is not the number of members that we should crow about. The Association is about making current and new members feel their membership is worthwhile and are getting enjoyment from their membership.
Several 2SQN Branch members reside in the NT and, although their attendance at functions may not occur, we'll be making sure they are 'kept in the loop' on social and veteran matters.
We will be vigorously pursuing the reactivation of the Gippsland and Geelong Branches during the next two months.
B24 Liberator Restoration has agreed to come 'on-board' and I am also negotiating 'Branch membership' with another association.
Late last year I was approached by a local historian from Tetbury, UK regarding a centenary commemoration of 1st Wing Australian Flying Corps that trained for aerial combat from two adjacent airfields. Twenty-three AFC airmen died in training accidents and are buried in the local church cemetery. The Air Force Association National Council agreed to fund a bronze plaque to pay tribute to the kindred relationship that existed between the AFC airmen and the Tetbury community that has honoured their memory for 100 years. I will present the plaque to the township on Remembrance Day this year.
I am very pleased to announce that William 'Bill' Belton, AM a former Division President and long standing Board Member, has been granted Life Membership of the Air Force Association. His Life Membership Certificate will be formally presented at the Division's Annual General Meeting to be held on May 11th, 2017. I very much am looking forward to the occasion.
The Division kindly promoted its Care Parcel Program to the National level making it an Air Force Association National Program. The last dispatch of parcels that reached our deployed Air Force personnel in time for Christmas brought many heartwarming accolades, testimony to the program's success in boosting morale. Victorian Division will continue to manage the program on behalf of the Association. This very generous gesture was acknowledged by the National President AVM Brent Espeland, AM (Retd).
ANZAC Day 2017 Melbourne CBD March will have a special feature. Air Commodore Jenny Lumsden CSC will be the Leader of the March – most likely the first female officer to do so. Jenny is a veteran of multiple deployments and I was very pleased on behalf of the Board, to nominate her for the role. Air Commodore Rowan Story, AM RFD will lead the RAAF Group.
Finally, I ask you look for the notice regarding April's 'Meet a Mate' event. It will be the first of this type of excursion that will include members and non-members to gather for a social outing. First up is the B24 Liberator Restoration Australia hangar at Werribee and lunch.

Dems want $500k for DEP bureaucrats to study "climate change"
AUGUSTA –The Environment and Natural Resources Committee on Thursday considered a resolve that would spend $500,000 over four years to study the theory of anthropogenic climate change, also known as global warming.
Rep. William Noon (D-Sanford) introduced L.D. 825 in order to study climate change theory and implement the recommendations of Maine's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). His resolve directs DEP to resume its study on climate change pursuant to a 2009 resolve in preparation for a bill that would be presented to the 127th Legislature.
According to the fiscal note attached to L.D. 825, the resolve would pull $244,447 from General Fund revenues over the next two years and $251,482 for fiscal year 2014-15. The money would be used to hire one full time Public Service Coordinator I and one part-time Office Associate II. The bill would not hire any climate scientists.
The state first hired staff to address the theorized threat of climate change more than a decade ago.
According to records available at MaineOpenGov.org, DEP hired Paul Van Cott in 1997 as a "Climate Change Manager." Van Cott's total compensation was more than $65,000.
In 2000, Van Cott was replaced by John B. Wathen as a climate change manager. Wathen started at $51,297 in total compensation, but by 2003, he was pulling down $84,105 — $65,020 salary plus $19,085 in benefits.
That's a 163 percent pay increase over three years—for "managing" climate change.
Wathen left the lucrative field of climate change management in 2005.
Near the end of 2008, Gary S. Westerman assumed the position of climate change manager and served until Gov. Paul R. LePage nixed the position in 2011.
Since the elimination of the position, Maine's climate change has gone completely unmanaged, saving taxpayers roughly $80 grand a year.

Phase I trial of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and docetaxel in advanced breast cancer
J. A. Sparano, U. Malik, L. Rajdev, C. Sarta, U. Hopkins, A. C. Wolff
Purpose: To develop a combination of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil; Alza Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, CA) and docetaxel (Taxotere; Aventis Pharmaceutical, Parsipanny, NJ) that can be safely used for the treatment of advanced breast cancer. Patients and Methods: Forty-one patients with locally advanced (n = 10) or metastatic (n = 31) breast cancer received Doxil (30-, 40-, or 45-mg/m2 intravenous [IV] infusion over 30 to 60 minutes), followed 1 hour later by docetaxel (60 or 75 mg/m2 by IV infusion over 1 hour) in cohorts of three to six patients. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as febrile neutropenia, prolonged neutropenia, or grade 3 to 4 nonhematologic toxicity that occurred during cycle 1. Results: In conjunction with docetaxel 75 mg/m2 every 4 weeks, the MTD of Doxil was 30 mg/m2 and required granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) to prevent febrile neutropenia. Without G-CSF, the MTD was docetaxel 60 mg/m2 and Doxil 30 mg/m2 every 3 weeks; only 1 (7%) out of 15 patients treated at this dose level had cycle 1 DLT. Infusion reactions were common with Doxil with the recommended infusion schedule during the first cycle (55%) but were reduced with a modified schedule (7%). There was no clinically significant cardiac toxicity. Objective response occurred in eight of nine assessable patients with stage III disease and in 16 (52%) of 31 patients (95% confidence interval, 34% to 70%) with stage IV disease. Conclusion: The recommended dose and schedule of this combination for further evaluation is Doxil 30 mg/m2 and docetaxel 60 mg/m2 given every 3 weeks without G-CSF. When used with G-CSF, it is Doxil 30 mg/m2 and docetaxel 75 mg/m2 every 4 weeks.

Latest updates on Odell Beckham Jr.'s free agent decision
/ by Nick Goss
Odell Beckham Jr. is officially an NFL free agent.
The star wide receiver cleared waivers Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET and now is able to sign with any team he wants.
So, when will the three-time Pro Bowler make his much-anticipated decision? It might not be right away, according to this tweet from veteran reporter Josina Anderson.
My understanding is that free agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. will take some time and assess the best situation for him with several options still on the table, per league source.
— IG: JosinaAnderson (@JosinaAnderson) November 9, 2021
The 29-year-old veteran spent the last two-plus seasons with the Cleveland Browns. He tallied 1,586 receiving yards with seven touchdowns over 210 games in Cleveland.
Curran: Do the positives outweigh the negatives in bringing in OBJ?
Beckham is no longer the dominant wide receiver he was earlier in his career, but he still has the ability to make a profound impact on a contending team's passing offense.
A couple teams in the playoff race that would be good fits for Beckham include the Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders and New England Patriots. The Seattle Seahawks are not currently in a playoff spot in the NFC but could definitely use an upgrade at wide receiver.

Bringing a sweet new puppy into your life is an unforgettable experience, although it isn't always easy. As wonderful as wee doggies are, they can't tell you how they feel in words. It's up to you to read between the lines. Misbehavior is a common indication of a puppy who is either bored or tired.
If you are suddenly noticing tiny chew marks all over your home, you might just have a bored puppy on your hands. Destructive behavior is frequently a telling indication of a dog who just isn't getting enough physical and mental stimulation. If your shoes and pillows look less than immaculate thanks to your puppy's wee teeth, there's a good chance the little one is bored. If your pet is bored, it might be your cue to help him out in that department, whether by investing in a few exciting and new interactive doggie toys, taking him on more frequent walks or simply paying more attention to him in general.
Excessive barking also is a common sign of a bored puppy. If any seemingly inconsequential sound seems to have the ability to send your pet off into a barking fit, it might just mean that tedium is taking over.
Mischievous little pups who are bored also frequently wreak havoc onto their owners' backyards -- ugh. They might sink their teeth into pretty flowers, for one. They might dig up an otherwise immaculate and picturesque lawn. They might even hide some of their most prized chew toys deep into the dirt, creating a lot of confusion when their owners try to find them later on. Insect consumption is also a common sign of a pooch who is bored and looking for some good, old-fashioned entertainment.
Humans can get a little petulant when they haven't gotten enough shut-eye, and puppies are no different in that respect. If your puppy is exhausted and just needs a little rest, he might act a lot grouchier than his normally sweet and pleasant self. You might even hear him growling -- at you. Don't take it personally, and just realize the little guy needs a nap, big time. If your pooch ever behaves aggressively due to being tired, contact a professional who specializes in canine behavioral problems. Play it cautiously and never try to "fix" an aggressive pooch on your own, puppy or otherwise.
Hyper behavior is also a typical indication of a puppy who is seriously tired. The little guys occasionally get so exhausted that their actions become increasingly wacky. If you notice your pup running around your living room in frenetic and frenzied circles, it's probably time to get him ready for bedtime or a nap. Remember, it might not occur to the youngster to get that much-needed sleep on his own.


The paper deals with a new method of modelling of controlled intersections as a complex system of dynamic objects. In this method dynamic models represents queuing processes running at characteristic points of approaches (ie entrance points) and in the area of an intersection. The intersection between queuing processes are considered. This model may be applied for intersections with any geometric layout. Comparison between results obtained using this method and results based on Australian method and connected SIDRA program is presented. (A) For the covering abstract see IRRD 873901.

The warm, balsamic and aromatic flavor of oregano makes it the perfect addition to Mediterranean and Mexican cuisines. This popular herb whose name means "mountain joy" is available throughout the year.
Oregano is known botanically as Origanum vulgare and is called wild marjoram in many parts of Europe since it is closely related to the herb that we know as sweet marjoram. It is a small shrub with multi-branched stems covered with small grayish-green oval leaves and small white or pink flowers. In Mediterranean climates oregano grows as a perennial plant, but in the harsher climates of North America, they grow as annuals.
Oregano, leaf, dried
manganese4%
This chart graphically details the %DV that a serving of Oregano provides for each of the nutrients of which it is a good, very good, or excellent source according to our Food Rating System. Additional information about the amount of these nutrients provided by Oregano can be found in the Food Rating System Chart. A link that takes you to the In-Depth Nutritional Profile for Oregano, featuring information over 80 nutrients, can be found under the Food Rating System Chart.
You may have seen a bottle marked "oil of oregano" in a health food store. There are good reasons why!
An Effective Anti-Bacterial
The volatile oils in this spice include thymol and carvacrol, both of which have been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus . In Mexico, researchers have compared oregano to tinidazol, a commonly used prescription drug to treat infection from the amoeba Giardia lamblia. These researchers found oregano to be more effective against Giardia than the commonly used prescription drug.
Potent Anti-Oxidant Activity
Oregano contains numerous phytonutrients—including thymol and rosmarinic acid—that have also been shown to function as potent antioxidants that can prevent oxygen-based damage to cell structures throughout the body. In laboratory studies, oregano has demonstrated stronger anti-oxidant capacity than either of the two synthetic anti-oxidants commonly added to processed food—BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) and BHA (butylated bydroxyanisole). Additionally, on a per gram fresh weight basis, oregano has demonstrated 42 times more antioxidant activity than apples, 30 times more than potatoes, 12 times more than oranges and 4 times more than blueberries.
A Nutrient-Dense Spice
Our food ranking system qualified oregano as a good source of fiber. Fiber works in the body to bind to bile salts and cancer-causing toxins in the colon and remove them from the body. This forces the body to break down cholesterol to make more bile salts. These are just some of the reasons that diets high in fiber have been shown to lower high cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of colon cancer.
Oregano also emerged from our food ranking system as a bountiful source of many nutrients. It qualified within our system as an excellent source of vitamin K, a very good source of manganese, and a good source of iron and calcium.
While many people think of pizza when they think of oregano, this wonderful herb can add a warm, balsamic and aromatic flavor to many different dishes, especially those of the Mediterranean cuisine.
Oregano is known botanically as Origanum vulgare and is called wild marjoram in many parts of Europe since it is closely related to the herb that we know as sweet marjoram. Its name is derived from the Greek words oros (mountain) and ganos (joy) since not only was it a symbol of happiness, but it made the hillsides on which it grew look beautiful.
Oregano is native to northern Europe, although it grows throughout many regions of the world. It has been recognized for its aromatic properties since ancient times, with the Greeks and Romans holding oregano as a symbol of joy and happiness. In fact, it was a tradition for Greek and Roman brides and grooms to be crowned with a laurel of oregano.
Oregano has been cultivated in France since the Middle Ages and has come to be an important herb in Mediterranean cooking. Oregano was hardly known in the United States until the early 20th century when GIs returning from Italy brought word of this fragrant and delicious herb back to the United States.
Whenever possible, choose fresh oregano over the dried form of the herb since it is superior in flavor. The leaves of fresh oregano should look fresh and be a vibrant green in color, while the stems should be firm. They should be free from darks spots or yellowing.
Even through dried herbs and spices like oregano are widely available in supermarkets, you may want to explore the local spice stores in your area. Oftentimes, these stores feature an expansive selection of dried herbs and spices that are of superior quality and freshness compared to those offered in regular markets. Just like with other dried herbs, when purchasing dried oregano, try to buy that which has been organically grown since this will give you more assurance that it has not been irradiated.
Fresh oregano should be stored in the refrigerator wrapped in a slightly damp paper towel. It may also be frozen, either whole or chopped, in airtight containers. Alternatively, you can freeze the oregano in ice cube trays covered with either water or stock that can be added when preparing soups or stews. Dried oregano should be kept in a tightly sealed glass container in a cool, dark and dry place where it will keep fresh for about six months.
Tips for Preparing Oregano
Fresh Oregano should be added toward the end of the cooking process since heat can easily cause a loss of its delicate flavor. It is best to add dried Oregano at the beginning of the cooking time.
Next time you enjoy a slice of pizza, garnish it with some fresh oregano.
Oregano goes great with healthy sautéed mushrooms and onions.
Adding a few sprigs of fresh oregano to a container of olive oil will infuse the oil with the essence of the herb.
Fresh oregano makes an aromatic addition to omelets and frittatas.
Sprinkle some chopped oregano onto homemade garlic bread.
Add oregano to salad dressings.
Oregano is an excellent source of vitamin K and a very good source of manganese. It is also a good source of iron, dietary fiber and calcium.
vitamin K 12.43 mcg 14 46.9 excellent
manganese 0.10 mg 4 14.8 good

She loved him dearly and said often, "He was such a handsome fellow, and just a really good man!" He preceded her to Heaven on September 18, 1992.
Doris was a proud alumnus of Shawnee High School, and even in her later years, enjoyed driving by the high school and listening to the marching band practicing on the football field. She was a long time member of Faith Baptist church in Elida. Doris worked from the time she was a young woman at the Ark of Sweets in downtown Lima, until its closing in 1978. From that point on, she worked at Buckeye Furniture in Lima, until she retired at the young age of 90.
Doris was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She enjoyed visits with her family and sitting on the floor with her great-grands, playing with trains or costume jewelry, even in her most recent years. She enjoyed cooking meals and sharing them with her family, both immediate and extended. Her co-workers were just a dear to her as her family, and often enjoyed the benefits of her cooking as well. She was an avid gardener, bird watcher, decorator, and took much pride in her home, both inside and out.
Survivors include her daughter, Madelyn "Lynn" (Eugene) Miller of Lima; two granddaughters, Sarah (Nick) Kennedy of Lima, and Jessica (Anthony) Pero of Gastonia, North Carolina; 7 great-grandchildren: Colson, Morgan and Kylie Kennedy, Aria, Evelyn, Lucas, and Levi Pero; a sister, Beulah "Boots" Redmond of Lima, and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by a brother-in-law, John Redmond.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, December 30, 2020 at Chamberlain-Huckeriede Funeral Home in Lima, with visitation preceding the service from 12:30 – 2:30 p.m. Rev. Bruce Snyder and Pastor Tom Cooper will officiate.

"HIVE 2016 isn't your typical homebuilding conference, but rather a transformational forum for housing that will guide the industry over the next decade," said Peter Goldstone, CEO of Hanley Wood.
Bringing together the brightest minds and talents to address the ever-challenging housing industry, Hanley Wood announced a stellar speaker lineup today for its premiere HIVE 2016 conference. Over a two-day period, HIVE – Housing Innovation, Vision & Economics – offers keynote addresses and educational content presented by innovative thought leaders.
Content and discussions at this first-ever event are driven by five transformative forces in housing: demographics, finance, design, products, and business management. Sessions led by a team of five "deans," trusted advisors who helped engineer the HIVE program, will look at these five forces and their most solvable challenges, in order to stimulate new ideas and shape the future of how people live, work and play.
Products dean, William McDonough, world-renowned expert on environmental design and co-author of Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things and The Upcycle: Beyond Sustainability – Designing for Abundance, will present "Sustainability for Profit," which looks at how designing innovative products that are ecologically and socially beneficial not only makes good business sense, but also requires deep collaboration between builders and manufacturers. His session proposes ways to make purpose and profit align.
Business management dean, Stuart Miller, CEO, Lennar will speak on "The Business Case for Constant, Big Change," that explores ways to marry the right technology and data with an effective team of employees. Demographics dean, Dowell Myers, professor of policy, planning, and demography in the Sol Price School of Public Policy at USC, will lead a high-level conversation during his "Solving the Millennial Dilemma" on how to structure local and national programs to make places that attract and welcome young and diverse populations.
Design dean, Sarah Susanka, author of the popular Not So Big House series will present "Reinventing Our Homes and Communities for Aging Independence." In response to the 77 million baby boomers who are demanding housing solutions, her session explores how to lead design, health care options, technology, and finance towards solutions that both compel and endure in value for this powerful demographic.
Finance dean, Ivy Zelman, CEO, Zelman & Associates, will then lead the discussion with "Labor, Lots, and Lending;" walking participants through the process of working around the barriers to rules, regulation, fees, and access to mortgage loans.
Thomas Toomey, President & CEO, UDR, Inc.
HIVE 2016 is supported by title and underwriting sponsor, Ply Gem, and founding sponsors, Louisiana Pacific (LP), Kohler, and Electrolux. The conference takes place at the JW Marriott at L.A. LIVE, 900 W Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles, on September 28 and 29, 2016. To register or for more information about the conference, please visit http://media.hwhive.com/.

We like Steel Style's style
- The Evening News, Published: June 19, 1979
For hundreds of years, until railroads made their appearance, the Hudson River served as a link between waterside communities and the farms, business and industry.
This area, like others, had its share – even more than its share – of heavy industry... foundaries, lumberyards, ship builders, machine shops, pipe manufacturers and others.
Time passed and so did most of the heavy industry, due to changes in technology, transportation and other factors. Heavy industry is much to be desired by any community for what is means in jobs, taxes and status.
Newburgh can boast of at least one heavy industry today: Steel Style at 401 South Water St. and "boast" is the word.
The company moved here a few years back, quietly and with little desire for publicity. A spokesman said it manufactured steel forms for swimming pools and for water storage tanks atop buildings in New York, City.
It has blossomed through the years, expanding into its present line of building drydocks and fabricating the steel work for the second Newburgh-Beacon Bridge.
Its latest project was a $2 million drydock caisson gate, now on the way to Charleston, S.C. It has built drydock repair pens for the largest, most modern U. S. submarines at Groton and has contracts for work in Hawaii.
The owners' pride in their facilities is evident in the well cared-for appearance it presents. The number of jobs it makes available has been of inestimable benefit in an area where jobs aren't easy to come by.
If Newburgh's waterfront could be given a facelifting such as the removal of the huge eyesore that once was the River Queen restaurant, burned out in a fire . . . and if Waterside Apartments could be rehabilitated before they disintegrate entirely... and if 18 aces of long-empty urban renewal land could be put to some beneficial use. . .
A lot of "ifs," but Newburgh – which was once the key city between New York and Albany – might start coming back into its own.
Steel Style is a big plus for Newburgh and the area. May it serve as a magnet for other companies to take advantage of one of the finest transportation and shipping hubs in the entire state.

28 Apr 2017 4 May 2017 scunthorpenights Hospital Players, Plowright Theatre, Theatre, theatre group, What's On
Theatre Review// The Hospital Player 215th Production
From the moment the curtain opens on The Hospital Player's 215th production, "Caught in the Net", the laughter begins and, apart from the interval, it continues until the end. This Ray Cooney farce, first performed 17 years ago still retains it's ability to amuse and entertain when performed so ably by this locally renowned theatrical troupe.
The story centers around one John Smith, a bigamist and taxi driver, who has been maintaining two separate, unsuspecting households for the last 18 years. One with his wife Mary and daughter Vicki in Wimbledon and the other with his wife Barbara and son Gavin, conveniently located a short taxi drive away in Streatham. All has been twin marital bliss it seems until now. Now he fears his pasts are catching up with him as his son and daughter have met up in an internet chatroom, have hit it off and now plan to visit each other. They are surprised and amused that their "father's" both share the same name, birth date and occupation but have no idea of the chaos that is about to ensue.
Fortunately, John has a long suffering lodger, Stanley, at his Wimbledon residence who he enlists to help him keep the two families from realising they share the same John Smith.
Jake West plays the role of this reluctant and put upon lodger and he does an excellent job. All he wants to do is take his doddering old dad away for a seaside break but he is forced to pile elaborate lie upon lie in order to protect his friend. He is hilarious as the feckless slacker whose involvement in John's dilemma is not always helpful. He is at the centre of almost everything that happens on stage which must take a lot to learn, not only in terms of the script but also movement and he carries it off admirably.
This is classic farce with much opening, shutting and slamming of doors but the set worked very well. Well designed, bright and cheery it must be quite a challenge as one set does for both homes but the cast moved around it quite naturally and with ease.
Adam Brown as John Smith, the taxi-driving bigamist, does a fine job of depicting various states of exhaustion while rushing from one home to another.
The two Mrs. Smith's are finely portrayed. As Mary, Melanie Mason starts out as a dutiful housewife who becomes more and more unhinged as a result of being locked in various rooms and suspecting her lodger is a right weirdo. Jan Gregory's Barbara is mostly oblivious to the chaos around her but often confused and frustrated by her inability to contact her wandering husband on the phone.
The two youngest members of the cast acquit themselves very well as two average teens who can't understand why their father doesn't want them to meet. It is difficult to believe that these are their debut performances for The Hospital Players. Jake Bailey playing Gavin Smith and Emily Burnham playing Vicki Smith gave good,solid performances and I suspect we will be seeing them perform again in the very near future.
In Act two we have the pleasure of meeting Stanley's old dad played by Graham Wells. He exits and enters zinging his many one-liners with apparent ease. Most of the time, seemingly lost to reality, he brings a saucy and fresh irreverence to the plot as he tries to work out what the heck is going on in the seaside hotel he believes his son has brought him to visit.
Myself and my 16 year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed this laughter filled performance. All the players gave 100% and it was put together wonderfully by directors Jan Gregory and Ann Brown.
Caught in the Net runs until Saturday 29th April at The Plowright Theatre, Scunthorpe and if you fancy a night of rib tickling frivolousness then I suggest you buy a ticket.

Policy lessons from Lao and Hmong women in Thai refugee camps
Dia Cha, Cathy A Small
This paper examines the role of Lao and Hmong women in two Thai refugee camps. It looks specifically at the participation of women within the administrative structure of the camps, in camp service and training programs, and in the relocation process. While no refugees wield real power in the camps, the paper demonstrates how the absence of women in camp leadership and their consistent representation by men effectively muffles whatever little input they might have into camp policies, programs, or their own futures within the relocation process. This is a result, not of callous administrators nor insensitive service agencies, but rather of the unexamined assumptions of development planning.

Odd Man Out: Mario Balotelli, Emmanuel Adebayor and Luka Modric all make the team, but who is the misfit in our XI?
Every week we'll name an XI of past and present footballers for you to guess what links them all. But there's a twist – one player will always be the odd man out in the dressing room.
This week's team is full of current and former Premier League players, in a 4-4-2 formation. Can you work out what the connection is between them, and who is different to the rest and why?
The team (4-4-2): Julio Cesar; Glen Johnson, Robert Huth, Gary Cahill, Alvaro Arbeloa; Shaun Wright-Phillips, Luka Modric, Pedro Mendes, Ryan Giggs; Mario Balotelli, Emmanuel Adebayor.
So, did you work out the answer? This week's clue is that they have all played their part in setting a Special record.
The answer: Jose Mourinho set a record as the manager to take charge of the most Champions League semi-finals when Chelsea met Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night – the eighth time he'd been a boss in the last four of Europe's premier club competition. All these players played for him in one of those ties – except Odd Man Out Ryan Giggs. The previous record holder was Sir Alex Ferguson with seven semi-finals, and Giggs appeared at some time in all of them.
Brazil's 2010 World Cup goalkeeper is currently playing in the MLS for Toronto after going on loan from Queens Park Rangers. The 34-year-old suffered a horror season as part of the Loftus Road relegation year and is fighting to make sure he can again command a place as his nation's No 1 for this summer's World Cup. He was in Mourinho's 2010 Inter Milan side that knocked out Barcelona in the semi-final before beating Bayern Munich in Madrid to lift the trophy.
Now chasing the chance to be a champion with Liverpool, the 29-year-old England full back already has a Premier League medal on his sideboard after winning the title with Chelsea in 2005. That year Jose Mourinho's side also reached the last four in the chase for the European Cup, but were knocked out at Anfield by the 'ghost' Luis Garcia goal, with Chelsea fans still claiming now that the ball didn't cross the line before William Gallas hooked it clear. By the time Chelsea were in the semi-finals again in 2007, Johnson had moved on to Portsmouth.
Giant German defender Huth has lost his place in Stoke's team under Mark Hughes this season due to injuries – but was a fixture under Tony Pulis. He started his career at Stamford Bridge after Claudio Ranieri spotted him playing for home club FC Union Berlin. His hopes of making the grade at Chelsea suffered in the early days of the Roman Abramovich era with the arrivals of expensive signings, but he did play the last 14 minutes of the 2005 Champions League semi-final second leg at Liverpool.
Former Aston Villa and Bolton defender has emerged as one of the rocks on which Chelsea's defence is built this season. Tuesday night's clash with Atletico Madrid was his 51st appearance of the campaign for club and country, after winning the place as John Terry's regular partner from David Luiz.
Spanish left back was signed for Liverpool by Rafa Benitez in 2007, and took time to come to terms with the pace of the Premier League. He was sold to Real Madrid two years later for £5million, signing a five-year contract, and has played more than 100 games there as both left and right back. He played in the Madrid sides which lost semis to Barcelona in 2011 and Bayern Munich a year later, although he missed last year's defeat by Dortmund.
Mourinho spent an astonishing £21million to sign winger Wright-Phillips from Manchester City in 2005, one of a number of buys designed to build on his first Premier League title win. Despite occasional flashes of pace and brilliance, he never quite lived up to the price tag and at 32 is now playing in the Championship at Queens Park Rangers. If he was a nearly man under Mourinho, one of the nearly moments was in the final few minutes of extra time in the 2007 Champions League semi with Liverpool, when Didier Drogba was inches from turning his cross into the winning goal, before Chelsea went on to lose on penalties.
Croatia star Modric was a star at Spurs before Mourinho took him to Madrid for £33million in 2012 with the job of providing some creativity in midfield. He scored goals to knock out both Manchester United and Mallorca from last year's Champions League, but had mixed fortunes in the semi-final defeat by Dortmund. Asked to play a defensive role in the first leg he struggled and was subbed as Robert Lewandowski ran riot with four goals. By the time he had a more attacking job in the second leg and was the team's star player, it was too late to save the tie.
Portuguese midfielder spent four years in English football first for Tottenham then Portsmouth, before moving north of the border to play for Glasgow Rangers. When he joined Spurs in 2004 he was riding the crest of a Mourinho inspired wave, having just won the treble of the Champions League, Primeira Liga and Portuguese SuperCup. He was part of the Porto side that knocked out Manchester United at Old Trafford when The Special One made THAT touchline celebration run.
Giggs might have never played for Jose Mourinho, but he's no stranger to Champions League semi-finals having appeared in all seven that Manchester United reached under Sir Alex Ferguson between 1997 and 2011. After Mourinho's eight semis, and Fergie's seven, the next best group of bosses are Marcello Lippi, Miguel Munoz, Louis van Gaal and Pep Guardiola who have all done five each.
Mourinho might tag himself the Special One, but even he couldn't find the key to tame Balotelli's talent. Even so before giving up and selling him to Manchester City he gave Mario a 15 minute cameo appearance as a sub in the first leg of the semi-final over Barcelona, replacing Argentine Diego Milito for the last 15 minutes.
The big Togolese striker has 13 goals in 22 games for Tottenham since Tim Sherwood gave him a new lease of life this season, but back in 2011 Spurs were on the wrong end of his goal scoring prowess. He was on loan from Manchester City at Real Madrid when he hit two in a 4-0 first leg quarter-final win at the Bernabeu, then played his part in a 1-0 second leg win at White Hart Lane. The semi-finals didn't go so well for him or manager Mourinho. He was used only as a second half sub in both legs of the defeat by Barcelona.


Having assured me that it did not require my assistance, the robot returned its attention to the paper map it held. As I continued on my way down the street I turned momentarily and called back to the robot "Remember: the map is not the territory!" The robot looked back up at me and continued to follow me with its eyes.
I'd come to the realization that I'd left large portions of the city unexplored and thus set off deeper into the heart of the urban environment. Some hours later I emerged from a dark alley into an obviously "1.5" version of the city; older and more worn but no less vibrant and active. Upon catching sight of me, the resident robots paused in their activities and—stared—at me. I got the feeling that perhaps I was the first human they had seen in a long while?
The sun had set some time ago and all that was left was a lingering blue light refracting through the atmosphere. I paused for a moment in a bubble of quietude, noting that I had an observer. The robot did not move, and continued to watch as I continued on my way up the street.
"We are going out tonight," the robot told me. "We will wander the streets and alleys. Gather for some ad-hoc networking. Enjoy the way the city lights diffuse and reflect in the rain and puddles. What are you going to do?" I thought a moment. "Stay home," I said. "Read a book; draw pictures of you and your friends.
The robot wandered through various streets and alleys, a destination unmapped. Upon encountering a puddle it stopped, and for a few minutes contemplated the Mirror World in its rippling surface.
