America Vows To Bomb North Korea
By Our Reporter
The United States of America (USA) has finalized plans to bomb North Korea over repeated nuclear weapons testing.
The US defence secretary James Mattis, who is currently in talks with South Korea and Japan over the pending attack, warned North Korea on Friday of an “effective and overwhelming” response if Pyongyang chose to use nuclear weapons. “Any attack on the United States, or our allies, will be defeated, and any use of nuclear weapons would be met with a response that would be effective and overwhelming,” Defense Secretary Mattis while visiting South Korea, one of America’s closest allies.
Mattis’ warning came a few days after South Korea getting intelligence that North Korea could be readying a new ballistic missile test, in what could be an early diplomatic challenge for President Donald Trump’s administration.
North Korea, which is technically still at war with the South since signing an Armistice agreement in 1953, carried out more than 20 missile tests last year, as well as two nuclear tests, in defiance of UN resolutions and sanctions.


Freakabout releases spooky, booming new video
Say the name “Freakabout” and the first thing that comes to mind is probably Cortney Kirby’s dynamic, booming voice, capable of carrying a slow burner or an all-out romp. In the band’s first new music since its 2015 full-length debut, it seems that voice has only gotten stronger.
The Lincoln rock quartet has released new single “Yellow Light” along with an accompanying video. It’s the first look at new music since Don’t We All dropped in March 2015, and will appear on the band’s forthcoming sophomore effort later this year.
Despite a pair of lineup changes in the two years since, “Yellow Light” is textbook Freakabout, a marriage of Kirby’s smoky yet powerful vocal style and guitarist Aaron Galvan’s scorching riffs. Bassist Ben Frerichs and drummer Ian Francis (Low Horse, Machete Archive) make a formidable rhythm section and give the track its thudding heartbeat. And the video itself, strobe lit and disorienting, splices retro-style horror movie shots with bright performance footage, amplifying the band’s dark aesthetic.
Watch “Yellow Light” below and download the track via Freakabout’s Bandcamp page here.

Tim Kasher shares second single from forthcoming album
In the thick of the run-up to his forthcoming solo album, Tim Kasher has shared a second new single.
The Cursive frontman has premiered “Break Me Open” via Stereogum. The subdued track will appear third on Kasher’s No Resolution, due out March 3 on the band’s new label 15 Passenger.
“Break Me Open” is sparse at first, budding into a lush, orchestral movement. It seems to indicate Kasher’s exploring a gentler side of his songwriting while exploring his penchant for album-spanning narratives. Indeed, the album was written in conjunction with his first feature-length film of the same name.

Larkin put up 19 goals and 53 points in 71 games prior to the league's pause of play in mid-March.
Despite leading the Wings in points, it's been something of a disappointing season for the fifth-year NHLer. Larkin's well off last year's 32-goal, 73-point pace. Also, his minus-21 rating stands out as a black mark even though it's not actually his worst performance in that regard (minus-28 in 2016-17). It's no secret that Detroit is rebuilding and doesn't have many exciting NHL assets at the moment outside of Larkin, so we expect he'll be just fine in the long run as the team improves. In the meantime, owners can't be blamed for feeling underwhelmed with the 23-year-old's output.
Larkin scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Lightning.
He also beat Curtis McElhinney in the shootout. The Wings' top line was the story of the afternoon, as Larkin, Tyler Bertuzzi and Anthony Mantha accounted for all but one of the team's points. Larkin has found the scoresheet in four straight games and eight of the last nine, piling up an impressive four goals and 13 points over that stretch.
Larkin posted an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Friday's 2-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Larkin has four points in his last three games, and 10 (three goals, seven helpers) in his last eight. His assist Friday put him at 50 points through 69 contests this year. The 23-year-old center has added 213 shots with a minus-23 rating -- Larkin remains the centerpiece of the Red Wings' offense.
Larkin snagged an assist, three shots on net and two hits in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Larkin has been strong in his last seven games, during which he's netted three goals and supplied six helpers. The 23-year-old center has 49 points (18 tallies, 31 assists), 211 shots and 39 PIM in 68 appearances this year. Few Red Wings have made an impact offensively in 2019-20, but Larkin leads the team in points.
Larkin scored a goal and added an assist Saturday in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Senators.
Larkin's modest point streak had been snapped Thursday night. But he's still heating up, relative to his overall performance. Larkin now has 48 points in 67 games, but he won't come close to his career mark set last year (73 points).
Larkin provided a secondary assist on the power play Tuesday in a 4-1 loss to the Devils.
Detroit remains the cellar dweller of the entire league, but Larkin's on top of his game based on an active four-game point streak comprised of two goals and four helpers. The natural-born leader will look to stay hot in Thursday's home clash with the Wild.
Larkin scored twice on three shots in a 4-2 loss to Calgary on Sunday.
Larkin was a one-man offense for Detroit, getting the Red Wings on the board with a brilliant individual rush in the first period and drawing them to within 3-2 with two minutes left in regulation. The 23-year-old won't approach his 32 goals or 73 points of a year ago, but he's provided a respectable 17 goals and 45 points in 64 games for the last-place Wings.
Larkin collected two assists in a 4-3 win over Montreal on Tuesday.
After four games without a point, Larkin's name showed up twice Tuesday, giving the 23-year-old 42 points in 62 games. His 23:23 of ice time versus the Canadiens broke a streak of three straight games playing less than 20 minutes. This was Larkin's second multi-point performance this month.
Larkin picked up his 25th assist of the season in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.
The Bruins tried to rip the puck away from Larkin while he was pinned against the boards, but the fleet-footed pivot managed to slip the biscuit to Tyler Bertuzzi, who ultimately telegraphed a slick cross-ice pass to Andreas Athanasiou for the go-ahead goal. After teasing a points-per-game pace early in the season, Larkin sits at 15 goals and 40 points through 57 games.
Larkin scored two goals in a 4-3 shootout win over Buffalo on Thursday.
Larkin is well-behind his 73-point pace from last season, but he has picked things up since Christmas. He has 18 points (seven goals, 11 assists) in his last 17 games. You may still be able to scoop him in a keeper format, especially if his owner only sees 39 points in 55 games.
Larkin notched an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.
Larkin's hot streak has yielded five goals and nine helpers in his last 13 games. The 23-year-old is at 36 points (13 tallies, 23 helpers), 155 shots on goal and nine power-play points through 51 contests this season. He'll look to stay hot after the All-Star break when the Red Wings visit the Rangers on Jan. 31.
Larkin has five goals and eight assists over the last month -- a span of 14 games.
Detroit's supposed captain of the future has regained his form after a particularly rough stretch that saw Larkin net just one point (an assist) over the final eight games of November. It's been difficult to trust any Red Wing this season; after all, the team only has 28 points in the standings, but Larkin averages a whopping 21:09 of ice time to give him plenty of chances to crack the scoresheet.
Larkin scored a goal and dished a pair of assists in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.
Larkin seemingly tried to carry the Red Wings' offense Monday, but he was no match for the Avalanche's high-scoring ways. The center has 13 points (five tallies, eight helpers) in his last 12 outings. The 23-year-old is up to 13 goals and 35 points through 50 games this season. He's added 154 shots on goal, 27 PIM and a minus-16 rating.
Larkin managed an assist Sunday in a 5-1 loss to the Sabres.
Larkin widened his point streak to six games with the secondary apple. Detroit still ranks dead last in team scoring (2.2 goals per game), but the speedy top-line pivot still seems to have a winning mentality through all the adversity.
Larkin scored a power-play goal on four shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Senators.
Larkin scored at 5:32 of the second period on a feed from Filip Hronek. The star center also tallied the only goal in the shootout to secure the win. Larkin has two markers and three helpers over his last five games. He's up to 29 points, 140 shots on goal and a minus-15 rating in 45 contests. While he's nowhere near last year's 73-point pace, the 23-year-old's recent form suggests he may have rediscovered his scoring touch since the calendar flipped to 2020.
Larkin registered a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
Larkin has amassed two goals and three helpers in the last five games, including points in three straight. The 23-year-old is up to 27 points, 132 shots and a minus-16 rating in 43 contests this season.
Larkin scored a goal and blocked two shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.
Larkin got the Red Wings off to a good start with his tally at 3:47 of the first period, but Stars goalie Anton Khudobin wouldn't make another mistake. Through 42 games, Larkin has 10 goals, 26 points, 129 shots on goal and a minus-15 rating. A slow offensive season can be explained by his 7.8 shooting percentage, slightly under his career rate of 9.4 percent. With the Red Wings lacking many dangerous scoring threats, opposing defenses can contain Larkin, and he hasn't been able to break free yet.
Larkin scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Florida.
Larkin is way off his 73-point pace of 2018-19. In fact, he'll be hard-pressed to hit 50 points this year. Larkin remains the cornerstone of the Red Wings franchise, so see if you can get him for your keeper squad. His current owner might be frustrated and give him up for less than he's worth.
Larkin (illness) will play in Saturday's game against the Canadiens despite missing practice Friday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Larkin should retain his usual spots as the top-line and first power-play pivot. He's avoided missing a game so far this season but has gotten off to a somewhat slow start, notching just eight goals and 20 points through 33 games after racking up 73 points in 76 games last year.
Larkin was absent from Friday's practice session due to an illness, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Larkin was able to power through his illness to suit up in Thursday's matchup with Winnipeg, so he's unlikely to sit out against Montreal on Saturday. The elite center has tallied two goals and two helpers in his last five games, all of which have been scored with the man advantage. While a lack of 5-on-5 production may be a concern to the coaching staff, fantasy owners certainly won't be disappointed.

Seven global key challenges faced by universities and their leadership teams has been saved
Seven global key challenges faced by universities and their leadership teams
Nelson Mandela once said ‘education is the only weapon that can change the world’. Despite an assassination attempt, Malala Yousafzai bravely defied the Taliban, asserting the right of girls to an education and more broadly, the importance of an education for all. Today governments, business, communities and individuals recognise the critical role education plays in supporting political and social cohesion, economic growth and productivity, as well as personal development and fulfilment.
At the same time, the global economic and geopolitical landscape is changing. In many countries, including the United States of America, the cost of providing higher education is increasing faster than inflation, student debt is reaching record and unsustainable levels and competition from new providers, locally and internationally, is putting new pressures on university staff and finances. In the decade prior to FY14, prices for undergraduate tuition and board at public institutions in the USA rose 34%, after adjustment for inflation. Consequently, the current total volume of outstanding student loan debt in the USA is estimated as being over $1.2 trillion, whilst the total volume of student loan debt in default is estimated at $110 billion. More worryingly, 80% of Americans do not believe that the typical college education is worth its cost.
In other regions, such as Asia and the Middle East, robust economies and a growing need to address political tensions is leading to strong investment in the sector. Qatar is a strong example of this. In 2012, Sheikh Abdulla bin Ali Al-Thani described Qatar’s investment in higher education as crucial to ensuring that Qatar was left with a viable, advanced economy once their natural resources were depleted. He notes that the events of the Arab Spring highlighted the dissatisfaction of a young population, with rising unemployment and a lack of opportunities for young graduates.
This is coupled with an ambition to increase the number of world class institutions, identified as those that local students select as their first option, that obtain a disproportionate share of the lucrative international student market and that generate world leading research programmes and enterprise. For example, China has poured an estimated US$33 billion into its higher education institutions to improve their research performance and hence global ranking. The World Class 2.0 program, launched in 2015, aims to have a number of its universities in the top 15 in global rankings by 2030.
Deloitte’s higher education practice works across the world’s major economies. We support government to formulate and implement policy and we work with universities and business schools to develop their strategies, redefine their operating models and to implement major technology transformation. This transforms the student experience by reframing how universities conduct research, undertake teaching and learning, and provide student support. We are able to draw on the firm’s global knowledge, applying lessons learned from other higher education systems to the local context, to derive deep insight for our clients.
We have worked with governments across the UK, Canada, Australia and the USA, advising on how to fund higher education, including analysing the likely impact of a policy shift on sector sustainability. We have advised governments in the UK and the USA on how to widen participation and employability and in the Middle East we have worked with local universities to change the attitudes of certain cohorts to higher education.
Our global centres of excellence focus on the student experience, technology transformation, strategy and policy reform, capital programmes, tax and audit services. Each centre brings extensive expertise, unique tools and methods, deep client connections and other resources to enable us to better serve our university clients, wherever they are.
Our global research highlights seven key challenges faced by universities and their leadership teams.
- Rising student expectations: with an increasingly competitive graduate jobs market and the rising cost of higher education, discerning customer behaviour is causing universities to rethink the whole student journey. UK government initiatives, such as the introduction of the Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) data which directly links employment and earnings outcomes of graduates with their undergraduate degree and the higher education institution, is likely to cement a growing sense of student entitlement. Students will be able to directly quantify the benefits derived or lost through the choice of their degree and provider. Business models are being rethought and new digital models of engagement are being used to drive improved customer-centricity.
- Technology and digital innovation the norm: digital platforms are being used to innovate the teaching and learning experience, revolutionise research through the use of big data and artificial intelligence and to drive improved business operations against performance objectives. Increasingly, universities are investing in Student Information Systems (SIS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tools and using analytics to support robust and data-driven decision making. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools are being used to improve how the back office supports university constituents.
- Operating in a global context: increasing student mobility and an expanding higher education marketplace means that universities should establish a compelling competitive advantage that resonates beyond their local context. Competition comes in many forms, from policies on immigration, currency changes and geopolitical stability, to changing how and when people want to learn. Universities with international connections, that can offer their students and staff the opportunity to work and study abroad, are increasingly being seen as more attractive destinations, offering additional value add.
- Linking estates strategy and the student: for most universities, the estate is their most significant cost, alongside staff. In FY15, universities in the UK spent approximately 13% on average of academic income on maintenance and capex. Generally, the university estate has evolved over time and hence, may not align with the university’s overall vision. Old buildings may not obviously lend themselves to modern teaching and learning, facilities may not make students feel engaged, nor may they encourage collaboration. What a university’s estate says about its ethos is increasingly being recognised as key to defining the university’s distinct offering. Rather than being a cost, the estate should be seen as an asset that can offer a distinct value proposition, changing change culture and driving up quality.
- Attracting and retaining the best talent: the most successful universities recognise the importance of a rich and diverse workforce. This should bring together academics with the right disciplines and expertise, to create teams that will win more than their fair share of research income and attract the best junior academics and students. This is critical for any university with ambitions to be in the top 100 of global rankings.
Increasingly, university boards are trying to identify the right strategies to reward staff. Drivers of staff motivation are often unclear. Reward should not always be linked to salary, as this may not be the most effective method of driving desired behaviour, nor may the university be able to offer salaries greater than the market average. Rather, alternatives such as creating an environment in which academics can develop their practice and build their reputation and providing appropriate facilities that support research, publication and commercialisation of intellectual property, should be explored.
- Rising costs and shifting funding: the cost of running a Higher Education Institution is frequently increasing faster than the rate of inflation. This is at a time when government expenditure is under pressure, as repercussions from the financial crisis continue to impact public spending. Consequently, the student is increasingly responsible for paying for their education. How to ensure that higher education remains affordable, does not create a massive student debt, nor precludes young people from all socio-economic backgrounds from participating in education, remains a challenge for governments, universities, students and their families.
Life-long learning will continue to grow in importance, as technological change and a rising life expectancy require the workforce to adapt and to remain productive for longer. This will place further pressure on government funding. Increasingly, technology could be used to reduce the cost of delivery and to grow market reach. For example, the Georgia Institute of Technology has teamed up with Udacity and AT&T to offer the first online Master of Science in Computer Science, delivered exclusively through the "massive online" format and for a significantly reduced cost. In addition, new alternative pathways into the world of work are also likely to increase in popularity i.e. through apprenticeships funded by the employer.
- Making research sustainable: governments are progressively scrutinising what research is being funded and how it is being funded. The appropriate balance of pure and applied research and how research outputs should be shared and exploited is also being debated. Increasingly, government research programmes aim to support innovation, drive economic growth and solve the world’s wicked issues of climate change, aging populations, disease, energy supply and security. This is driving a need for closer collaboration and strengthened partnerships between research institutions and business. Across a series of indicators that aim to show which research institutions collaborate most strongly with industry i.e. the ratio of papers co-authored with industry, the proportion of papers cited by patents, the quantity of research income from industry and the proportion of research income from industry, nine out of the top 10 institutions were from the USA or China.
The higher education industry is changing rapidly and the status quo is being challenged. Deloitte’s research has identified seven key challenges facing the sector, ranging from increasing consumer expectations to workforce attraction and retention. More than ever, higher education institutions must think globally and develop a strong student and wider stakeholder value proposition which differentiates them from their competition. This will dramatically impact how universities operate into the medium and longer term.

Since making play my word for the year, I find myself looking for opportunities to incorporate more play in the ordinariness of my everyday life. How can I be more playful on my commute to work? How can vacuuming and doing the dishes be more like play? How can grant writing and lesson planning play with ideas I’ve always wanted to try?
So, playing around with the theme of love in honor of Valentine’s Day, (right smack in the middle of February), let’s put some love into playing with some photography techniques! (Thanks, Janis, for the suggestion!)
So for February’s #sdawpphotovoices photo-a-day challenge, we’ll focus on a different aspect of photography each week.
After you shoot, post a photo each day with the hashtag #sdawpphotovoices to Twitter, Instagram, Flicker, Google+ and/or Facebook (the more the better!), so that we can all enjoy the posts. If you are game for some more playfulness, compose a blog post about a photo, a week’s worth of photos, write a photo essay, make a video or slideshow or try a learning walk! (More about learning walks here and here) You are invited to create a pingback by linking to this url or post your blog address in the comment section. It’s fun for me to see what others are doing with the same prompts I am using!
Week 1: Playing with Composition
1. Simplify the scene—move in closer to remove distracting details
2. Rule of thirds (or simply avoid the middle)–what happens when you frame your subject off center?
3. Use leading lines—frame your shot by letting the natural lines (fences, roads, walls…) direct the viewer’s eye
4. Use diagonals—shift the angle, tilt your camera…
5. Check your background—what’s behind your subject? Experiment with finding a background that works with your subject
6. Fill the frame—zoom in or step closer to fill the frame with your subject
7. Break the rules—experiment with your own compositional style
Week 2: Playing with Light
8. Shoot into the light to create a silhouette
9. Capture a shadow
10. Find the light in a dark setting
11. Make light the centerpiece of the photo
12. Experiment with light and dark in one photo
13. Include a reflection (water is useful here!)
14. Try something new with light (either natural light or some other light source)
Week 3: Playing with Perspective
15. Get low
16. Shoot from above
17. Create an optical illusion
18. Play with negative space
19. Get close
20. Try a wide angle effect
21. What other perspective have you tried?
Week 4: Playing with Genre
23. Black and White
28. Street photography
Our goal is to play, share with each other, and learn from each other as we shoot our own photos and study the photos others shoot. Each week includes seven suggestions for exploring the technique. You are welcome to follow them in order, mix them up, or exchange them for a technique you want to try on. You can post every day, once a week, or even sporadically throughout the month…whatever works in your life. Be sure to share and tag your photos with #sdawpphotovoices so we can find them!

Ice Queen Candle
Ice Queen soy candle is part of a special collection of candles created by Erica (founder of Fresh Faced Skin Care). Erica developed each written story and created a scent to match. Each scent is complex, with multiple layers of things you may smell while experiencing such a tale. Scroll down for the story of the Ice Queen.
SCENT PROFILE: Icy mint, fir trees, and crisp, mountain air
BURN TIME: 70+ hours
Includes a story card with the original written story and a print of the watercolor illustration
In the land of frozen tundra, with its snow-covered mountains and endless fir trees, sits a glacial palace where the Ice Queen resides. Her skin is as white as snow and her hair as dark as the night sky. The crown that sits upon her head is formed entirely of icicles and bejeweled by glistening snowflakes. Everything about the Ice Queen’s outward appearance is beautiful and good. However, it is the chilling supernatural powers within her that force her to live a life of isolation, away from those she cares for most.

The Ontario Wood Bridge Reference Guide was prepared for for the Canadian Wood Council and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry by Moses Structural Engineers and Brown & Co. Engineering Ltd.
Timber bridges have a long history of construction and use throughout North America, including Ontario, for roadways, railways and logging roads. The Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC), together with the Canadian Wood Council publication Wood Highway Bridges from 1992 are typically referenced by designers of timber bridges in Ontario. This new reference is intended to provide updated background information for designers as they embark on proposing and designing timber highway bridges for primary and secondary roads. The reference is divided into three parts:
- Part 1 – Wood Bridges – Design and Use
- Part 2 – Opportunities & Current Limitations
- Part 3 – Design Examples
Part 1 provides background information on topics including wood materials, bridge systems, prefabrication, durability and species availability. Details of costs, construction cycle and sustainability are also provided. Part 1 concludes with examples of a variety of completed highway bridges from North America and Europe.
Part 2 of this reference is intended to provide designers and authorities with highlights of the current edition of the CHBDC on subjects related to the wood highway bridges, including areas that will require future development in the code. Additional references to other resources for advancing practitioner knowledge of and advancing the state of the art in wood bridge design are provided.
Part 3 has two fully worked design examples of a two-lane 18-m span wood highway bridge designed in accordance with the latest provisions of the CHBDC and the best available information from current literature. Each example is based on a single-span, simply-supported glued-laminated girder bridge. One bridge has a glued-laminated deck and the other has a stress-laminated deck. These examples are intended to help designers understand the key issues as they undertake wood highway bridge design. Durability through detailing and choice
of materials is discussed.

Indonesian metalcore band Blackswan have released a music video for the track Trump. Of course you’re intrigued.
Apparently the band has written a track to counter Trump’s attack on Muslims. The band is therefore, through this track, trying to unite Muslims from all parts of the world.
“What we are saying is a sense of brotherhood between Muslims in all parts of the world. Because in our opinion, the brokenness of the people of the Prophet Muhammad sallalla ‘alaihi wa sallam after the golden ages of the Khalifah was one of the factors because they were divided by the territorial apathy of each. In addition, “Trump” is only a representation of the rulers, elites, politicians, scholars, to the level of lay thinkers who try to dim the light of Islam as the Pharaoh’s regime against Moses’ Alaihi salam. What we are calling for is that we as a country with the largest Muslim population in the world should be a shield of shield for those who are attached.”
This is probably the first highly pro-Islam band we’ve featured on the site. Thoughts?

There's doesn't seem to be agreement on how to proceed here, so closing.
David, if you do decide to proceed with a README then it would probably
be best to create a new thread/entry.

With the Miami Dolphins pulling off an upset of a win (and "Suck for Luck" fans are surely upset) against the Kansas City Chiefs on the road (in the "loudest stadium in the NFL"), the Suck for Luck fan campaign is in serious jeopardy.
The Indianapolis Colts, who are in the driver's seat for a potential tiebreaker, did what they do best this season, lose. The Colts lost another game Sunday afternoon against the Atlanta Falcons, 31-7.
If the Miami Dolphins were to lose out on Andrew Luck, look no further than Kim Kardashian as the reason why the team will lose out on a franchise changing quarterback.
Bush would go on to rush for 103 yards (second 100-yard rushing game of his career) on 15 attempts in a game that nearly gave Miami its first victory.
Albeit, Bush had his first 100-yard rushing game against the same Giants squad, but nevertheless it came after his October 29th meeting with his ex who was legally married to NBA forward Kris Humphries at the time.
Bush's good fortune did not stop on Sunday as his big runs moved the chains for the Dolphins leading to touchdown throws by Matt Moore and a rushing touchdown by Bush himself. When it was said and done, the Dolphins won 31-3 and Bush had 13 rushes for 92 yards and three receptions for 50 yards.
The Dolphins are not only a game behind the Colts for the coveted quarterback, but it now is amongst the group that includes the Seahawks, Broncos and Cardinals for teams who may pursue a quarterback in the first round of next April's draft.
Considering the remainder of their schedule, the Dolphins can very well get a few wins if they ride Reggie Bush's new mojo. What was thought to be a difficult schedule down the stretch might now be a bit easier against teams like the Redskins, Raiders and Bills (twice) who might prove to be favorable for Miami.
As for more conspiracy theories, maybe the Dolphins were wowed by Matt Barkley's performance in the games against Stanford and Colorado enough to let the Colts have it with Luck and deal with a dilemma down the line involving him and Peyton Manning. Barkley threw for a USC-record six touchdowns this past weekend and is making a steady climb on draft boards.
Perhaps Bush wants Barkley, a fellow USC player to play with the Dolphins next season? Would Barkley be receptive to the notion of playing with a player primarily responsible for USC's ineligibility in bowl games this season, a season in which the Trojans are playing well enough for one?
Whatever the case, the Dolphins are continuing their same old habits, going for mediocrity and not taking advantage of the opportunity to change the franchise with a rare commodity in Luck.
It will now be time for fans to come up with a catchy phrase for the other quarterback prospects, "Fall Flat for Matt?" "Park for Barkley?" "Blow for Jones?" "Losing for Landry?"
We will soon see if fans take to these soon or mourn their lost shot at Luck.

Mandatory Disclosures in Property SalesSubmitted by SchoemanLaw Inc
Whether you are looking to purchase or rent a new property, the process of finding a new place to call home can be both exciting and quite terrifying at the same time. Although purchasing or renting a property is considered one of the most significant financial decisions a person can make, many South Africans may fail to spot issues with a particular property during their initial inspection. As a result, latent and patent defects and the voetstoots clauses tend to be at the centre of many property disuptes between buyers, sellers, tenants, and landlords.
Although property practitioners, previously known as estate agents, ensure that they obtain as much information about the property’s condition from the sellers and landlords as possible to disclose this information to potential buyers and tenants, one or two issues may still be missed.
What is the Property Practitioners Act (“PPA”)?
The Property Practitioners Act 22 of 2019 (“PPA”) is newly enacted legislation which has come into effect on the 1st of February 2022 and repeals the Estate Agency Affairs Act 112 of 1976. As a result, property practitioners which act on behalf of sellers, buyers, tenants or landlords during the sale or lease of property receive more support through this Act. The Act is also aimed at regulating how the property practitioners handle their affairs by making significant changes to how they are to conduct their business. An example of a significant change and an important provision of the Act is the one relating to mandatory disclosures.
Mandatory Disclosure in terms of the PPA?
The PPA is legislation that is consumer-focused and is intended to provide protection to consumers within the property industry. One of the ways in which the Act is designed to achieve this is through the provision of mandatory disclosures.
The PPA stipulates that property practitioners, unless provided with the prescribed mandatory disclosure form fully completed and signed by a landlord or seller, must not accept a mandate. Additionally, a copy of this form must be provided to the prospective tenant or purchaser.
The mandatory disclosure form needs to be signed by all the relevant stakeholders and attached to the agreement, whether it is for the sale or lease of a property. The form becomes an essential part of the agreement and provides additional protection for all the affected parties.
The mandatory disclosure form will contain all the defects of the property to the best knowledge of the seller or landlord. The form will not significantly affect the voetstoots clause; however, failure to complete the form will result in the defects being deemed as not disclosed and can leave a seller or landlord open to a claim being lodged against them relating to the defects.
In conclusion, it is crucial to know how legislation should guide your decision making when searching for a property and how to avoid decisions that could result in financial loss or legal issues. Therefore, please consult with a legal professional before entering into any agreements relating to the sale or lease of a property to ensure it complies with the law and protects yourself and others.

The Green’s Function Method for the Supported Plate Boundary Value ProblemSteven H. Schot (1) American University Library, Washington, USA
The deflection $u$ of a thin elastic plate is governed by the biharmonic equation $\Delta^2u = 0$, where $\Delta$ is the two-dimensional Laplace operator. The problem of solving this equation in the domain $D$ occupied by the plate when $u$ and $\Delta u$ are assigned on the boundary $\delta D$ is often called the supported plate boundaly value problem. Strictly speaking this terminology is not correct since $\Delta u$ should be replaced by the more complicated expression for the plate’s moment $M(u)$ on $\delta D$; however, when $\delta D$ consists only of rectilinear segments (or when the Poisson ratio is unity) $M(u)$ reduces to $\Delta u$. Here, the supported plate problem is solved by a Green’s function method, closed form solutions are obtained for the disk and the half-plane, and the supported plate Green’s functions for these domains are computed explicitly. As a check, the solutions of these boundary value problems are also derived using a modification of the Goursat-Almansi method.

Tonight I spent a couple hours working on the right wing. I started by removing the gap faring and brackets that were clecoed on the wing. I surface prepped and primed the gap faring, and match drilled and dimpled the holes as necessary. I also took this opportunity to install the aileron brackets with the service bulliten Vans posted a few months back. I already did this to the left wing.
Here you can see the back and front of the aileron bracket, with the reinforcement plates on the front of the rear spar (img 1). Rivets had to be shot and bucked because my rivet squeezer doesn’t reach some of the rivets.


National Handloom Day is a annual celebration to honour the handloom weavers in the country, the day is celebrated on every 7th of August. It is also celebrated to highlight the role of Handloom industry in the country. The National Handloom Day aims at highlighting the handloom’s contribution to the country’s socioeconomic development and increase weavers’ incomes.
In July 2015, the Union Government has declared 7th of August as the National Handloom Day with a goal to create awareness about the importance of handloom industry. The first National Handloom Day was held in the Centenary Hall of Madras University in Chennai on 7 August 2015 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Why 7th of August is chosen for National Handloom Day?
On 7th of August 1905, the Swadeshi Movement was initiated in Calcutta Town hall to oppose the separation of Bengal by the British Empire, and to commemorate the day, every year on 7th of August National Handloom Day is celebrated.
Theme of National Handloom Day 2022
This year the theme of National Handloom Day 2022 is yet to be decided
What is Handloom?
Handloom is a woven frame or a loom used in weaving fabric without any of electricity. Hand weaving is usually done at home which performed on the pit loom or frame loom. Hand-spun yarn-woven fabrics on handloom are called ‘khadi,’ while handloom-woven factory spun yarn is called ‘handloom cloth.’
In India, the kings and queens wore hand-woven garments to showcase their richness and monarchy. Additionally, the cotton textile business was started in in Mohenjo-Daro era. Once India gained freedom from the British, the authorities took several measures to elevate craftsmen through various schemes and insurance policies that helped the industry grow.
Handlooms are important for economic and legal relations as they are symbols of a country’s identity, culture and sustainable growth, not just for esthetic and cultural purposes. More than 50 per cent of the total weaver population of India resides in the eastern and north-eastern part of the country.
How to improve Handloom sector in India?
To improve the handloom market the India’s government has taken a number of actions. The Handlooms Act, 1985, Handloom Census, Geographical Indication, ecological trade initiatives such as e-dhaga, capacity-building programs and the general restoration of the hand-held industry and Khadi Gramodyog are important steps that the indian government has taken with a view to enhancing the hand-held industry in India. Recently a program was launched “Solar Chakra” to set up the support for the artisanal cluster. It’s also important to tackle problems of labour-intense activities such as lack of business relations, pricing, and raw materials, spinning , weaving and sticking.
Handloom weaves are mostly decentralized and mostly weavers come from the poorer sections of the community, the primary and the only source of revenue for some of them. Handloom weaving is spread throughout many states and in some of them is in considerable decline.
Importance of National Handloom Day
National Handloom is gives an opportunity to highlight the immense work of Handloom weavers and also seeks to focus on the contribution of handloom is the socioeconomic development. It is a day to raise awareness about the handloom weaving among the youth.
Above all, handlooms are environmentally friendly and it is a viable way of living. The handloom sector is the second largest source of jobs in rural India and provides employment for 4.33 million persons. Around 95% of the handwoven fabric worldwide originates from India.

COLLINSVILLE — At first, Maureen Blumberg thought her dog had torn a ligament in his leg. Cooper, her Yellow Labrador Retriever, was suddenly not himself and was not running and jumping like he used to.
"We really don't know," said Blumberg, who lives near O'Fallon. "They thought he had a torn ACL, at first, and he does have arthritis in his knees. So with a combination of those things, he just wasn't getting around great and he is only two years old."
That's when Blumberg's veterinarian at Northgate Small Animal Hospital in Collinsville suggested laser therapy. Cooper went under the laser three times a week. After the first week, Blumberg saw her dog beginning to return to his old self.
"After the first three treatments, I saw a lot of improvement," she said. "Before, he couldn't even jump up on and off the couch. He is back to jumping by himself, now."
Northgate Small Animal Hospital, at 1497 Vandalia St. in Collinsville, opened in September 1995 and purchased the Class IV Laser last summer for about $11,000. The hospital's veterinary technicians were trained how to use the laser to help treat dogs and cats with pain from arthritis and other injuries.
Sometimes referred to as "cold laser therapy," it is a non-invasive procedure that uses light to stimulate cells and increase blood circulation. This process is known as photo-biotherapy, which stimulates protein synthesis and cell metabolism by improving cell health and function. Northgate Small Animal Hospital veterinarian Amy Edgar said this laser therapy can help reduce pain.
"Basically, in a nutshell, it is administered light to troubled spots of pain inflammation and wounds," Edgar said. "It basically super charges those cells and the vet gets the pain inflammation down quicker. It helps heal the pain from arthritis for dogs that have had wounds, bite wounds or if they got hit by a car and have an abrasion."
Lasers have been used in Europe for therapy for the past 30 years. The Food and Drug Administration approved the first U.S. company to provide Class IV Laser therapy in 2003.
The University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Urbana-Champaign has seen the Class IV Laser advance and enhance healing capabilities in animals and humans. Kim Knap, a rehabilitation specialist at the U of I's vet hospital, said this laser therapy has proven to helps treat arthritis pain and quicken healing.
"We use it for significant arthritis and neurological functions in rehabilitation practices," Knap said. "We also use it widely for wound healing and pain control for significant dental disease."
K-Laser USA in Franklin, Tenn. was cleared by the FDA to provide this laser therapy in March 2005 and has sold several thousand Class IV lasers to practitioners around the world. Phil Harrington, manager of education and clinical support at K-Laser USA, said K-Laser USA was the first to exhibit this laser at a veterinary conference in 2006. He also said the role of lasers has rapidly expanded in the veterinary and human health industry during the past decade.
"The laser industry has grown exponentially in the veterinary and human market to the point now where we started with one 10-by-10-foot booth at the trade show and now laser therapy is a major player with several 20-by-20-foot booth islands at the trade show," Harrington said. "We're attracting a lot of attention from pharmaceutical companies."
Edgar said the therapy has been widely used and well received at the metro-east animal hospital.
"We use it quite frequently," Edgar said. "We use it after surgery for pain on the surgery site. Some come in a few times a week for arthritis pain."
Belleville resident Maribeth Wissehr took both of her dogs to the Collinsville animal hospital for laser treatment last year. Her Border Collie, Nora, and Australian Shepherd, Katie, received laser therapy last August, September and October.
"My Border Collie has a skin condition and received treatment on her front elbows," Wissehr said. "It seemed to help tremendously with the itching and everything related to that an it cleared that up. My Australian Shepherd has had some knee surgery on her right rear leg last year. It helped to break down the scar tissue and give her more mobility and she did really well with that. In fact, we want to take her back for more because she had surgery on the other leg for the same thing. So we were very pleased with the result."
Blumberg is also thrilled with the results and is happy to have her dog healthy again.
"He went from walking with a really bad limp to running and chasing our new puppy," she said. "It's like a night and day difference."

To book an appointment, please call our main line and press 0 to speak with a receptionist. Please be advised that at this time, we are booking annual and non-urgent exams approximately 1 month in advance. Please call ahead to book. For more urgent matters, the receptionist may be able to book you in a same-day appointment or direct you to call the next day if that day's appointments are full. If your pet is experiencing an emergency, a receptionist may direct you to come to the clinic immediately to have your pet seen by a veterinarian.
We ask that if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, call at least 24 hours in advance to reschedule. Failure to call at least 24 hours in advance will result in a $60+tax no show charge being billed to your account.
When You Arrive
Upon arrival, please check in with a member of our reception team. Your contact information and address will be verified and updated as necessary. If you are a new client, we ask you provide any documentation regarding your pet's medical history (ie. from another veterinarian) at this time. While waiting, please feel free to browse our educational materials and retail products, or explore the green space and walking trail beside our parking lot.
During Your Appointment
Once an examination room is available, you will be brought into a room with your pet to meet with the veterinarian. The veterinarian will take a full history of your pet, examine them, and address any questions or concerns you may have. The veterinarian will assess your pet's Body Condition Score (BCS) to determine if your pet is underweight, at a healthy weight, or overweight. They will also take your pet's temperature, respiration rate, and heart rate. We suggest keeping a journal and recording treatments, changes in your pet's diet, mood, or behaviour, and any questions you may have so that you can ask the veterinarian during this time.
Some pets require bloodwork, radiographs, wound cleaning, ear cleaning, nail trims or injections. Most of these procedures are performed by a RVT (Registered Veterinary Technician) and Technician Assistant while you are in the waiting room. You will be reunited with your pet in the waiting room after their treatment is complete. If your pet requires longer-term hospitalization, your veterinarian will discuss treatment and an estimate. Once consented, an RVT or Assistant will bring your pet to our treatment area and prepare them to be hospitalized.
We understand that emergencies can be frightening and happen quickly. In the event of an emergency, we ask that you call our clinic prior to leaving so that we can anticipate your arrival. If necessary, upon arrival your pet will immediately be brought to our back treatment area to be assessed and treated. There will be times when unexpected emergencies will create delays for regular appointments; as a result, critical patients may be seen and accommodated prior to regularly scheduled appointments.
Waiting Room Safety
We ask that all pets be tethered to a non-retracting leash (or a short, locked retracting leash) or in a carrier while in our waiting area. If your dog requires a muzzle, please have it fitted and on properly prior to entering the building. If you do not have a leash, collar, or carrier, please advise us prior to entrance so that we may lend you one. Though we do not discourage socializing, our waiting room is often busy, and some animals may be aggressive, anxious, or nervous when in pain or under stress. We ask that you keep your pet close to you while waiting for your appointment. If you are unsure if your pet should arrive through the waiting room, please contact us prior to your appointment and other accommodations can be made.

If your Chrysler Check Engine Light (CEL) is staying on or is flashing, don't panic!
In this guide, we will look at some of the most common problems that trigger the check engine warning on Chrysler vehicles.
You will also find step-by-step instruction and videos on how to use various OBD-II scanners to diagnose Chrysler check engine light yourself.
Chrysler check engine light comes on to warn the driver that something is wrong with one of the components in your car (in most cases the emission system).
Even if your Chrysler drives without any performance issues, do not ignore the engine light. If there are no engine noises, the engine doesn't shake or is not overheating, you can continue to drive with caution but get the car diagnosed as soon as possible.
If your check engine light is flashing you should pull over as soon as it is safe to do so.
It is recommended to have the vehicle towed to avoid further damage to the engine and the catalytic converter.
Ignoring the check engine light can potentially cause problems to other systems.
For example, if the check engine light cames on because the engine is running too rich, not only will your fuel MPG decrease, but you will shorten the life of the catalytic converter which can be very expensive to repair.
If your Chrysler check engine light is on, pay attention to how your car is performing. In some cases, you may notice one or more of the following problems:
The symptoms can vary depending on which component or sensor is malfunctioning.
Common casues that trigger Chrysler checke engine light:
Without reading the codes, it is impossible to know why your Chrysler check engine light is on.
This is a very easy procedure that you can perform yourself, or have a mechanic or dealer perform for you.
Let's take a look at instructions on how to read and clear Chrysler check engine light.
For this procedure you will need an OBD-II scanner.
Turn the key to position II. All the dashboard lights will turn on.
If your Chrysler has START/STOP feature, press the button TWICE without pressing the brake pedal. Your Chrysler will turn on, but the engine will not start.
Next, connect your Chrysler scan tool to the OBD-II port under the dashboard. Note that the connector only fits in one direction.
The next step is to read the codes. Now we are going to take a look at using various scan tools to diagnose Chrysler check engine light.
First, we will take a look at reading Chrysler fault codes using a generic OBD-II scanner.
Watch how to use a Bluetooth OBD-II adaptor and your smartphone to diagnose your Chrysler check engine light.
Watch how to use a multi-system scanner to diagnose the check engine light.
These scanners allow you to diagnose other systems as well such as airbag and ABS.
Lastly, we use a professional diagnostic scanner to diagnose the check engine light.
A professional scanner offers similar functions to the scanner used at the Chrysler dealership.
It is capable of reading and clearing codes from various systems. It can also activate and test individual sensors. Perform calibration and programming of modules as well.
These instructions work on 1996 and newer Chrysler vehicles including Chrysler models such as Town and Country, 300, 300M, 200, Aspen, Pacifica, Sebring, Voyager, PT Cruiser, Crossfire, LHS, Cirrus, 300C. First, we will take a look at the procedure.
Once you retrieve the fault code(s) from the ECU, it is time to research the problem.
Write down the code and search online to see if other Chrysler owners have had that problem and how they fixed it.
Quite often the solution for the same code can vary from make to make. If you don't find enough information, find a reliable mechanic who can give you a second opinion.
It is highly recommended that you get a second opinion from a mechanic before you replace parts.
While in most cases the fault code is all you need to determine the defective part, that's not always the case.
One of the most common reasons that a Chrysler check engine light comes on is due to a loose gas cap. If that's the case, you will not notice any performance issues at all.
You can continue to operate the car unless the check engine light is flashing.
If a loose gas cap triggered the check engine light, retighten the cap or replace it. Your check engine light will not reset right away but can take up to three days to reset on its own.
Alternatively, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code.
Typical cost to diagnose Chrysler check engine light ranges between $75 and $120.
There are a few dealers and local repair shops that also offer free check engine light diagnostics. Call a Chrysler dealer or auto mechanic to get a more accurate quote.
The shop you choose will ask you to bring the car into the shop so that they can read the codes.
Auto parts stores such as Autozone, Advance Auto or PepBoys also read the codes free of charge.
Even if you don't plan on fixing or repairing the car yourself, it always helps to know the diagnostic trouble codes.
The ECU monitors various sensors mounted on the engine block, intake and exhaust such as temperature, air flow or O2 sensors.
If an anomaly is determined or a sensor is operating out of range it stores a fault code in the Engine Control Unit (ECU).
These codes are known as Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) often referred to as fault codes.
Retrieving the fault code from the ECU is the first procedure that is performed to find why the check engine light is on. This can be performed by a mechanic, Chrysler dealer or yourself.
Your Chrysler dealer will diagnose the check engine light free of charge if the vehicle is under warranty.
If your Chrysler is not under warranty, you will have to pay (in most cases) when you take your car to the dealer or auto mechanic.

3 Things You Must know about COBRAPosted: August 12, 2011 Filed under: COBRA | Tags: COBRA, Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, Health insurance 2 Comments
Back in 1985, COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation ACT) was passed and became effective in 1986. I’ve been involved with employee benefits for so long, I specifically remember when it all took place. I was the benefits person at Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley, and it was quite overwhelming.
Health Care Reform and the Kingdom of CostPosted: April 29, 2011 Filed under: Health Care Reform | Tags: Health care reform, Health insurance Leave a comment
Once upon a time a new leader was elected. The new leader wanted to make sure everyone was covered for health insurance and put together a group that created a plan to cover pretty much every one in the kingdom (aka Health Care Reform). The plan had great ideas to keep the people healthy with preventive care and to eliminate life time maximums so that no one would be cut off from insurance if they had big health issues. But the people who put the plan together forgot about how to control costs other than making the insurance companies keep their costs low with medical loss ratios. Read the rest of this entry »

(CBS News) — Ford is recalling nearly a quarter-million heavy-duty pickup trucks in the U.S. because the driveshafts can fracture and cause a loss of power.
The recall covers certain F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups from the 2017 through 2022 model years. The trucks have gasoline engines and aluminum driveshafts.
Ford says in documents posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that heat and noise insulators below the body can loosen, and touch the drive shaft. The shaft can fracture, causing a power loss, or loss of control if it hits the ground.


The real “war on drugs” looks nothing like what US high officials describe.
“In 1984, the inspector general discloses, the CIA intervened with the U.S. Justice Department to seek the return from police custody of $36,800 in cash that had been confiscated from Nicaraguan drug-smuggling gang in the Bay Area whose leader, Norwin Meneses, was a prominent Contra fund-raiser. The money had been taken during what was at the time the largest seizure of cocaine in the history of California.”
Kill the Messenger may bring these revelations to some more people, but of course it’s decades later and the perps have moved around, changed tactics, changed names, moved the goal posts.
“…there are sufficient factual details which would cause certain damage to our image and program in Central America.” -CIA
Make no mistake. Make no contorted abuse of the language: this is CONSPIRACY. Not a theory, a fact. Conspiracy that reaches the top of the US government over decades. The American people have been criminally uncurious as to what is done with their tax money and in their names.
“…Reagan was referring to when he called the Contra leaders the “moral equivalent of our founding fathers”, aggressively pursued a plan of bombings of civilian centers in Nicaragua and assassinations. He also developed a Contra fundraising scheme that, according to CIA memos, relied on “kidnapping, extortion and robbery.”
CIA loves terrorists, and it always has.

Dream City Film Club were a North London rock band founded in July 1995. Their sound was difficult to categorize in that it encompassed tortured lovelorn balladry, avant-garde flourishes, Tin Pan Alley, straightforward rock and gospel yearnings in both lyrics and subject matter. Ultimately, Dream City Film Club failed to find enough of an audience to sustain them. Vocalist Michael J. Sheehy had been working as a solo singer/songwriter for several years when he met Alex Vald and Laurence Ash, who quickly began writing songs with Sheehy.

It’s been a long while, dear readers…today’s recipe is something I made WEEKS ago, but…
more on that later.
This ziti is made with whole-wheat pasta, assorted vegetables, and a tomato sauce that can be used for anything Italian. As my grandmother did in her lasagna, I swapped the ricotta for cottage cheese – it’s a totally optional swap, but I enjoy the change in texture and the richness in flavor.
Now, why, you may ask, has it been so long since I’ve written? In a word, teenagers. (And don’t sigh in resignation – teenagers in general are sweet and wonderful and those that aren’t give the rest of them a bad name.)
I am a 10th grade English teacher, and it’s a job I used to love and now love occasionally and makes me want to smash things occasionally. For some reason, it’s gotten harder every year. Really, I think most people have NO IDEA how hard it is. Ever juggled cats? That might be a comparison.
I’ll spare you my woes, but basically when school starts I have so little energy that I barely cook and use my remaining energy on my students. Every year, I become a better teacher, and every year, I think that results in me working harder (not what I expected.)
Now, for ziti.
My boyfriend often requests ziti, and I think I make it differently every time? Maybe. I always combine a few recipes and kind of wing it, but the result is roughly the same.
First, I make the sauce (which, in this case, I made a day ahead, as we were having friends over for dinner.)
You can dump it all in a pot, and let it simmer for as long as you like – an hour is the minimum necessary. After 30 minutes, you can add in vegetables of your choice – I always have mushrooms and broccoli, and sometimes yellow and green squash.
To make ziti, you combine two cups of sauce with your ricotta or cottage cheese, and then blend it with the cooked whole-wheat pasta. Then you pour over the remaining sauce, and top with cheese (and dare I say it – breadcrumbs.)
All in all, it’s pretty easy. Can you do this with bottled sauce? Yes. Should you? No. Once you start making your own tomato sauce, you’ll never go back. This recipe uses the pantry essentials of boxed tomatoes. I switched from canned to boxed a few years back, since there may be danger in canned foods. And new to the pantry essentials list – Italian seasoning and season salt.
- [for sauce – makes a large batch; halve for smaller ziti portion]
- 2 TB olive oil
- 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 TB minced garlic
- 26 oz boxed chopped tomatoes
- 17 oz container tomato sauce
- 2 TB tomato paste
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 TB Italian Seasoning
- ~1-1/2 TB Season Salt (Morton’s is my preference)
- freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1-2 tsp sugar, to balance the acidity
- any of the following assortment of vegetables; quantities to your taste)
- cremini mushrooms
- yellow and green squash
- broccoli florets
- greens, like spinach or kale
- Heat oil in tall stock pot over medium. Once oil is hot, add bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Saute until onion and bell pepper soften.
- Add remaining ingredients (except vegetables), and bring to a simmer (it WILL splatter. Maybe wear an apron). Alternately, you can dump ALL sauce ingredients in a pot and bring to a simmer. You don’t have to saute onion, bell pepper, and garlic first.
- Simmer for 30 minutes. Add broccoli and mushrooms, if using. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes and add squash. Continue to simmer for 15 more minutes, watching that the squash doesn’t completely break down. If you are simmering for longer than an hour, adjust times accordingly.
- 2/3 box whole-wheat ziti or penne, cooked according to package directions
- 1 cup ricotta cheese or cottage cheese
- 1.5 cup shredded mozzarella / 1/2 cup parmesan, or 2 cups of shredded Italian cheese blend
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- cooked tomato sauce, divided
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 cups tomato sauce with ricotta cheese.
- Ladle a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of a 13×9 pan. Pour cooked pasta into over top.
- Add tomato/cheese mixture and stir until combined.
- Pour remaining sauce over pasta (you may not have to use all of it).
- Top pasta with cheeses, and cover with foil.
- Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover, top with breadcrumbs, and cook for 15 more minutes.
- Serve and enjoy with some garlic bread and a crisp salad.

Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO)’s earnings call this week has turned into a must-win situation for Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer. Report: Yahoo's Marissa Mayer Faces Key Earnings Call Amid Investor Pressure [bloomberg.com]
Mayer’s message is crucial to assuaging investor concerns about whether she can turn around Yahoo. The Sunnyvale, California-based Web portal is under intensifying scrutiny after last month selling part of a stake in Alibaba, which had driven up Yahoo’s value. Since Alibaba went public, Yahoo’s shares have fallen 8.6 percent. In addition, Yahoo’s main online advertising business continues to struggle.
The call is “critical,” said Scott Galloway, a professor of marketing at New York University’s Stern School of Business.“Is she going to have the wind at her back or in her face?”
