Aug '08 - Jun '10
I'm holed up in my Korean hostel, the room itself like a bunker 3/4 underground with a high slit window for light and air. I caught a cold, so it's ramen soup and peace and quiet until I'm ready to head out again. The hum of the refrigerator and this window to the interweb are all I have for company.
Even if I wasn't up for exploring, I did have a pleasurable afternoon at the neighborhood sauna. I highly recommend going to a jjimjilbang when in Korea--it's basically a sauna with extra rooms for hanging out. After you scrub down and sit in the hot bath or sauna room, you can change into a pair of shorts and t shirt that they give you and head to the community room. It's a huge room with reed mat floors and under-floor heating. Small rooms-within-a-room include the "Ice Box" at 1 deg. C and straw-mat floored rooms ranging from 55 C to 85 C (I could only last 30 seconds in the latter). Koreans go to the jjimjilbang to catch some rest--some even stay the night, as it's open 24 hrs. There are massage chairs and foot massage machines, only 75 cents for 10 minutes. There's a snack bar, computers, even a small restaurant, and a DVD player showing the latest awesome Korean music videos.
So this day off from exploring has given me some opportunity to focus on research. My main subject of study in Seoul is Yongsan Garrison, one of several joint American/Korean military bases in the country. Yongsan means Dragon Mountain and was established by the Japanese though I've read accounts of ancient armies using the site as a military camp. What makes this base unique for my study is that it is 630 acres of militarized land right in the middle of Seoul. About 8000 US military personnel operate here and thousands of Korean civilians work for the US Military. Many of the soldiers and their families live off base, blurring the edge between military and civilian space.
A military base is really a city within a city, complete with post office, shopping mall, hotel, etc. It is the ultimate gated community. So when it was announced in the 90's the base would re-locate, you can't imagine how anxious Koreans were to have their land back. I should be careful with this term though because the Korean government still owns the land. The United States is a tenant with rights defined under the SOFA , Status of Forces Agreement. It is ultimately up to the Korean government to decide when the base will close--that is dependent on the construction of new facilities south of the city at Pyeongtaek, which is slated to cost the government 3 billion dollars. That money has to come from somewhere. Plus there was a great deal of protest against the military relocating. The cost of relocation is known dearly to 43 families who lost their farmland, only 2 of which were able to purchase new land with the government compensation.
The situation is complex and merits a lot more explanation, but what I want to focus on is how the Koreans view Yongsan Garrison now and what their plans are for the future. I've met with a master planner who briefed me on the various plans for Seoul at large which impact the future of the site. A major aspect of the plan is a north-south green belt which will connect Bukhansan National Park to the north of the city with Namsan, a hill just above the base. This north-south greenbelt seems dubious to me, merely a spur to development and not really generating an 'ecological' connection. I think the creatures will prefer to stay in the hills and forests. Regardless, the final link in the belt is impeded by the military base. Given the official decision to convert the base into a park, it will connect the greenbelt to the River Han.

I've walked most of the perimeter, including several more miles than the actual perimeter because of dead-ends against the wall. Even a subway line jogs around the base. It is difficult to see right now with the given road infrastructure how the land will be opened up to the rest of the city. Only Itaewon street, my least favorite place in Seoul, is connected to the base. There you have your shops selling American-style clothes, plus bars and restaurants which cater to the soldiers and Koreans who are craving an 'International' experience.
This is not a new trend, the conversion of military bases into parks. The Presidio of San Francisco has been restored and retains a military feel. Other bases are not so picturesque... The United States, under BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) instituted a wave of freed-up military land in the 90's which is still ongoing. In response to this windfall, the National Park Service has been helping communities snatch up the land for parks. Dunes State Park at former Fort Ord is one such example, though it has yet to open due to its place way down the greenback pipeline, and California is hurting right now more than ever financially. A private venture to recycle the El Toro Air Station into the Orange County Great Park is also floundering due to a failing housing market, which was to finance the park. (I walked the perimeter of El Toro back in 2006, and seeing the base in decay was part of the inspiration for this trip.)
The examples are not restricted to the United States. A military camp in Taiwan is planned to become a park, and in Tachikawa, Tokyo, a former US air base was converted in 1983 into a huge park. (Incidentally, it is not quite "public"--it costs about 4 bucks to get in.)
An international ideas competition for Yongsan Park was announced in last November's Landscape Architecture but was quickly cancelled, the reasons for I'm not quite sure. Two days ago I met with a professor of landscape architecture at SNU who worked on the park's competition brief. He said it may be re-announced this year. In any case, nothing is going to happen for a while on the land, as the US troops will stay until 2015.
The precedent is set for Yongsan in terms of conversion into a park but questions remain. Most central to my interest is: what do you do with the residual military structures and landscape? From my meetings I understand that Korean people want it wiped completely clean and super-green. Real estate offices around the area present huge maps on their storefront windows of the region with renderings of a park greener than broccoli. Green sells.
The Koreans are acutely aware of the imperial associations with this site, dating back to the Japanese occupation. I can understand their wish to move past this history, but I'm not convinced that total erasure is the answer. Besides, it won't be possible. It is likely that the US Military will get to keep the Dragon Hill Lodge and a heliport which already begins to carve out a significant chunk of the land. The site of the future US Embassy lies at the northern edge of the base on what is now Camp Coiner. Plus a major arterial road bisects the base--burying this road is an expensive option but probably necessary if Seoul wants to have a continuous "Central Park" .
There is an ecological question which has not only to do with soil remediation but also the larger plan to connect the park into the city's ecology. The landscape architecture professor led a studio which proposed alternative ecologies, not just pure green-space. The student projects included river restoration and farmland (though there is sad irony to this proposal, given the Daechuri incident mentioned above).
^a student plan for the base
And of course there is the money question. The city wants a shopping mall component, likely to be underground (Koreans love their underground shopping malls). Around the park area there are already plans for an international business district which will link into and feed from the park's infrastructure. I'm not sure how this equals the 3 billion price tag for moving the US troops, and so I'm skeptical as to how public and how "natural" this park is going to be.
The Yongsan Park is worth paying attention to, both for the future of Seoul and in terms of demilitarization. If they go through with the competition, it could stir quite a bit of interest given its size and international visibility. There is still political tension in the air, and many parties with their cards in the game. It would be an amazing thing to behold, a clean conversion from military base to open park space, but this post-military explorer has his doubts.

Monarchs Press Release:
Manchester Monarchs defenseman Bryan Rodney scored two goals in his season debut as they fell to the Providence Bruins, 3-2, at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center on Friday night.
Manchester (10-9-2-1) is tied with the St. John’s IceCaps (11-11-0-1) for second place in the Atlantic Division with 23 points each. Providence (10-8-0-2) is tied with the Portland Pirates (10-10-1-1) for fourth place in the Division with 22 points each.
“The loss tonight was another game we had a chance to win,” said Monarchs Head Coach Mark Morris. “Soon we need to find ways to take advantage of strong play without inviting trouble into our game. Lately, we have been our own biggest enemy. It’s time we buckle down and execute for the whole game. On a positive note, Bryan Rodney wasted no time in showing his impact scoring two goals in his first game as a Monarchs player. He was excellent.”
Defenseman Torey Krug scored at 6:02 of the third period to give the Bruins the lead at 3-2. Left wing Lane MacDermid passed the puck from between the benches to Krug on the left wing as he entered the Monarchs zone. With a Monarchs defenseman on him, Krug skated to the top of the left-wing face-off circle before taking a slap shot that beat Monarchs goaltender Martin Jones on the stick side for his first goal of the season.
The Monarchs opened the scoring at 10:49 of the first period with a goal by Rodney. Right wing Tyler Toffoli played the puck back to left wing Tanner Pearson at the left wing half wall. Pearson and Rodney passed the puck back and forth as the defenseman faded to the center point from the left point. Pearson fed it back to Rodney for a one-timer that beat Bruins goaltender Niklas Svedberg for his first goal of the season.
The Bruins tied the game at 1-1 with a goal by left wing Kyle MacKinnon at 19:18 of the first period. Left wing Justin Florek took a shot on goal producing a rebound in front of the net. MacKinnon jumped on the puck and backhanded it past Jones for his first goal of the season.
Manchester took a 2-1 lead with Rodney’s second goal of the night at 9:04 of the second period. With the teams playing four-on-four hockey, right wing StefanLegein gained the Bruins zone on the left wing pulling up at the top of the left wing face-off circle. Legein passed the puck back to center Andrei Loktionov at the right point. Loktionov played it to Rodney at the center point in Bruins territory. Rodney took the pass and skated between the top of the face-off circle before wristing a shot on the stick side of Svedberg for his second goal of the season.
MacKinnon pulled the Bruins even at 2-2 with a goal at 16:18 of the second period. Defenseman David Warsofsky played the puck over to left wing ChrisBourque on the right wing as he entered the neutral zone. Bourque sent a long pass to MacKinnon who was breaking into the Monarchs zone with speed down the middle. MacKinnon split the Monarchs defense and wristed a shot on a partial breakaway that deflected off Jones and into the back of the net for his second goal of the game and of the season.
Jones (7-10-1) took his 10th loss of the season stopping 27-of-30 shots. Svedberg (9-4-1) earned his ninth win of the season making 28 saves on 30 shots.
Manchester went 0-for-5 on the power play. Providence was also 0-for-5 with the man advantage.
Notables: The Monarchs are 0-for-23 on the power play in their last five games…Defenseman Bryan Rodney scored two goals in his Monarchs debut…Defenseman Andrew Campbell, right wing Stefan Legein and center Andrei Loktionov all returned from injury for the Monarchs…With Loktionov’s return, all four current Monarchs Stanley Cup Champions were on the ice for the first time this season and the first time they were together in a Monarchs uniform since November 12, 2011.
The Monarchs return home to the Verizon Wireless Arena to take on the Connecticut Whale at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 8.

Craving chicken salad, but not the chicken part of the equation, I decided to make a few changes to an 'un-chicken' salad idea I got from a friend last year. I love the idea of chicken salad...if I could take away the chicken and the mayo. I don't care how disguised the mayo taste is, I can always taste it, and it is a huge turn-off. When recipes call for mayo, I will replace it with sour cream, or plain Greek yogurt. Chicken is one meat, I will never eat so for the chicken in this recipe, I used mashed chick peas, and honestly, it is difficult to tell the difference, but at least you know your beans never had wings!
I decided to put an Indian twist to it, which automatically puts M.I.A. tunes in my head, such as "Paper Planes" from Slumdog Millionaire. Though she has lots of fun music that precedes this great film.
This receipt has a yummy mixture of sweet and savory with a crunch. I enjoyed mine on a toasted piece of Udi's bread.
2 cans of chick peas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 cups seedless grapes
1 cup sour cream or plain greek yogurt, or a mixture of the two
1 tablespoon wheat-free soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1 tablespoon mango chutney (I use Patak....all of their products are gluten-free!)
- First, prepare the dressing by combing all ingredients and setting aside
- For the "chicken", place the drained and rinsed chick peas in a large mixing bowl and use a potato masher to mash down. This can take some muscle, and can also be achieved by a few pulses in a blender or food processor, but then you take away the work-out and have more things to clean
- Mix in the grapes and celery
- Stir in the dressing and combine well
You can serve this as a sandwich, or just start eating it up with a spoon. Enjoy!

Virginia-based dermatologic surgeon and former collegiate soccer player Ian Maher, M.D., F.A.A.D., couldn’t get past the irony that the sport he loves could pose a health risk to young people by contributing to a rise in skin cancer.
That conundrum led Maher – a member of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) – to develop Sun Safe Soccer, a skin cancer prevention initiative that encourages coaches to create a culture of sun protection in soccer.
With 18 million participants nationwide (14 million under the age of 18), soccer is one of the most-played sports in the United States. The growth of soccer has been so dramatic that the United States now has more players than in any other country in the world.
Maher himself played competitive soccer throughout his youth and at Charleston Catholic High School in Charleston, W.V., and Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio. Despite soccer’s obvious health benefits, Maher – an assistant professor of dermatology at Virginia Commonwealth University – also saw the statistics that 1 in 5 Americans suffer from skin cancer in their lifetimes, and that most sun damage is done before the age of 18.
“We have to balance the fact that soccer is a great physical activity for our children with the fact that sun exposure early in life is the leading cause of skin cancer in adulthood,” Maher said. “Ultimately, we want to make soccer the most sun-safe outdoor sport in America. By putting player safety and public health at the forefront of the sport, we can educate people about the risk of sun exposure and skin cancer, hopefully reducing the number of melanoma and other skin cancers in the soccer community.” ¬
Sun Safe Soccer grew out of Maher’s experience with the Future Leaders Network, an ASDS leadership development initiative for young and mid-career professionals to prepare them to become the next generation of leaders in dermatologic surgery. Starting as a pilot program in Virginia in 2010, Sun Safe Soccer has spread through Wisconsin, Washington and Arizona and sprouted up in California, Missouri and West Virginia as well.
At its core, Sun Safe Soccer seeks to empower soccer coaches to encourage their players to engage in safe sun habits.
“Coaches are natural leaders and habit builders, and kids often are more likely to listen to their coach than their parents or even their doctors,” Maher said. “Sun Safe Soccer seeks to capitalize on that. The first step is to teach soccer coaches about skin cancer prevention. The next step is for the coaches to share that knowledge with their players.”
Coaches can teach sun safety using two simple steps, Maher said. Before the game, players should apply sunscreen first and then put on shinguards (because sunscreen works best when it’s applied 15 minutes before exercising). After the game, have players cool down in a shady spot and cover up by wearing a hat or a long-sleeved shirt.
“We have the opportunity with Sun Safe Soccer to tell parents that their children will be better protected from sun damage and skin cancer while playing soccer,” Maher said. “I think every parent can appreciate that message.”
Part of Sun Safe Soccer’s success is how easy it is to get involved, Maher said. Coaches can sign up their teams online at asds.net/Sun-Safe-Soccer, where they also can download free educational handouts for parents.
Maher was invited to speak about Sun Safe Soccer at the 2013 National Soccer Coaches Association of America convention in January, where he shared podium time with John O’Brien, a skin cancer survivor and star of the U.S. Men’s National Team in the 2002 World Cup.
Maher currently is teaming up with Virginia Commonwealth University’s nationally ranked men’s soccer team for a series of Sun Safe Soccer clinics. He hopes to organize up to 25 outreach clinics over the next year. Meanwhile, companies are encouraged to sponsor tents displaying their logo, the ASDS logo and Sun Safe Soccer logo that will be used to provide shade for local soccer program participants. More information is available at asds.net/Sun-Safe-Soccer.

The junior from West Bloomfield had five tackles, two sacks, three and a half tackles for a loss and forced a fumble in Grand Valley State's 34-7 win over Ashland.
The Lakers sacked Ashland standout quarterback Billy Cundiff six times and limited the Eagles to 49 passing yards, 233 below their per game average. It also was the lowest total for Cundiff in his career and the lowest total for an Ashland team since 1995.
Richard, who also is a standout baseball pitcher at Grand Valley State, leads the defense in tackles for loss with 11 and sacks with six.
Grand Valley State, 8-1 overall and in first place in the GLIAC at 7-1, hosts 5-3 Northern Michigan on Saturday night at Lubbers Stadium. The Lakers have a one-game conference lead on Hillsdale, Findlay and Saginaw Valley.

Harvard waited 65 agonizing seasons between appearances in the NCAA Tournament, returning a year ago for the first time since 1946. The Crimson enjoyed the Dance so much, they wasted absolutely no time getting back.
By beating Cornell at Lavietes Pavilion on Saturday, 65-56, the Crimson positioned themselves to qualify for this year’s NCAA Tournament. When Princeton lost its second straight game — the Tigers fell at Brown, 80-67, on Saturday — it became official. Harvard (19-9, 11-3) was alone again at the top of the Ivy League standings, and nobody would be able to catch up.
Harvard entered the weekend in second place, a half-game behind Princeton. By Saturday night, the Crimson were in their second straight NCAA Tournament, clinching the conference’s automatic bid.
“What a victory for our kids, what a weekend for our program. We’re thrilled about the fact that we’re Ivy League champions outright,” coach Tommy Amaker said. “We always talk about how tough and challenging it is to win on the road in our league. We saw that last weekend, and Princeton obviously just went through that this weekend.”
A pair of losses a week ago at Princeton and Penn left Harvard despondent, and in the difficult position of needing help, even if it closed with two home wins. The Crimson got it on Friday from Yale (which beat Princeton), then on Saturday from Brown.
Oh, and they needed to take care of business against Columbia and Cornell.
When the final buzzer sounded against the Big Red, there were more than eight minutes left in the Princeton-Brown game. At worst, Harvard had grabbed at least a share of its third straight Ivy League title, bringing a handful of students onto the floor to celebrate.
Some in the crowd of 2,195 departed, but many lingered, waiting for Princeton updates. Someone found the game’s television broadcast online, which created a gathering around a laptop computer that included Harvard players. When Brown finished off the victory, a healthy cheer went up, and members of the Crimson celebrated behind their bench in street clothes.
Had Harvard and Princeton finished tied — Princeton (16-11, 9-4) has one game remaining, Tuesday at Penn — they would have had a one-game playoff March 17 in Philadelphia.
That’s no longer necessary.
“I couldn’t have drawn it up any better. Leaving this gym right now knowing that we’re going to the Tournament and we have the championship outright, there’s no better way for me to leave,” said Christian Webster, Harvard’s lone senior.
What makes this championship especially gratifying are the obstacles Harvard overcame. The Crimson learned not long before the season started that a pair of would-be seniors — forward Kyle Casey (last year’s leading scorer) and point guard Brandyn Curry — would not be on the team. Both withdrew from school after being implicated in the school’s sweeping academic cheating scandal that involved more than 125 students.
Dealt the unexpected blow, Harvard persevered.
“I’m proud of our guys for believing that we’re still Harvard,” Amaker said. “We may not have what we had at the beginning of the year, but we feel like we have enough. We stayed with that theme a lot this year. What a moment.”
Unlike Friday’s tight win over Columbia — and in the losses at Princeton and Penn last weekend — Harvard jumped in front early. The Crimson never trailed, in fact, leading by 8 points at halftime, and by as many as 15 in the second half.
Just like the Crimson, though, who have occasionally coughed up big leads, they made it interesting at the end. After falling behind, 57-42, Cornell (13-18, 5-9) used a 12-2 run to close to within 59-54, and had the ball with 1:30 left and an opportunity to make it a one-possession game. But Harvard’s defense forced a tough shot by Miles Asafo-Adjei that missed, the Crimson made 6 of 8 free throws in the final minute, and they left the court knowing they’d play at least one more game.
Not long after, they realized it will be in the NCAA Tournament.
“We had the chance to close at home, and we knew Princeton had some tough games,” said junior guard Laurent Rivard, who along with Webster are the team’s cocaptains. “We were sad and disappointed after last weekend, but we never gave up, because anything can happen in this league. We could only control how we played. It all played out pretty well for us.”
Rivard sparked an important 9-1 run to close the first half (which ended with Harvard ahead, 32-24), and finished with a game-high 17 points. Siyani Chambers added 16, and Wesley Saunders 14.Michael Whitmer can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.org.

Deron Williams wins Skills ChallengePosted by Inside Hoops
Deron Williams went first, missing a straight-in pass and one of the top-of-the-key shots, finishing in 31.2 seconds.
Jason Kidd went second and was flawless until shooting the top of the key shot, which he missed five times (after five misses a player can stop shooting and continue with the course), finishing in 39.7 seconds.
Chris Paul was up net, missing a bounce pass, but otherwise running the whole course perfectly, flying in at 29.0 seconds.
Last up was Dwyane Wade, who fumbled the ball during the obstacle-dribble in the beginning and had to go chase it, then missed three from the top of the key and quickly fired the next two up just to get through it, blew some passes, and slowly dribbled to the end, but then missed the layup, and missed the follow, for a disgustingly awful performance of 53.9 seconds.
CP3 and D-Will advance to the second and final round.
In the final round, D-Will went first. He dunked the first shot, ran the dribbling, hit the straight-in pass, and the bounce pass, swished the top-of-the-key jumper, hit the next straight-on pass, and ended it with a dunk, finishing with in terrific 25.5 seconds time, setting the all-time record best time for this event.
Paul is up and has to be virtually perfect for a shot at winning. He hit the first layup, dribbled the obstacles, missed the first straight-on pass, hit the bounce pass, missed once from the top of the key, hit the last straight-on pass, and hit the layup, getting 31.2 seconds — a respectable time but D-Will wins it with a brilliant performance.

The UNC Asheville Cross Country Invitational will be held Saturday at Asheville Christian Academy in Swannanoa, marking the program's first home meet since 2007.
Visiting schools include the men's and women's teams from Brevard College and Wofford. Charleston Southern and Milligan will have just their women's teams competing.
Norman anticipates a strong showing from the Bulldogs.
"I'm expecting us to win on both sides," Norman said. "While it is a smaller meet, it will have some good competition that will push our student-athletes."
He is excited that his teams will get a chance to race in front of a home crowd while taking advantage of competing on their home course.
"I think it helps knowing the ins and outs of the course, as you know that there is a point to push and a point to relax and recover," Norman said.
This race will also be the transitional point between the beginning of the year and the championship season, which begins with the following meet. The Pre-National Meet will be two weeks after this weekend's event and will allow the Bulldogs to whittle down their team to its championship rosters.
In its meets so far this season, UNC Asheville has developed its young, talented harriers on the men's side and strengthened the pack-running of the women.
Senior Emma Bussard has led the women in both races this year, with Melanie Kulesz, a redshirt junior, and freshman Kelsey Rubino making up the top three. Two weeks ago, the Adidas Winthrop Invitational served as the Big South Conference preview meet, and UNC Asheville finished fifth.
The young men's runners had an 11th-place showing at the Winthrop Invitational despite being without freshman Jeremy Gower, who led UNC Asheville in the first meet of the season at Western Carolina. Sophomore Kevin Paradise, the team's top runner last season, led the Bulldogs in Gower's absence. Freshman Andy Thornburg has been the consistent third runner.
"I'm just really excited hosting a meet this year and am excited as I think we are putting out a team that the school can be proud of," Norman said. "The team is looking forward to showing everyone how good we are."
The men's race will begin at 9 a.m. over the 8K course, with the women's 5K starting at 10:20 a.m. Results will be available on www.uncabulldogs.com.

document: When Rueben Randle, who some mocks had going in the first round, fell to the Giants with the 63rd overall pick, the last pick of the 2nd round, many felt the defending Super Bowl champs got a steal. The Giants have to be feeling the same right now as Randle is reportedly dominating in rookie camp. GM Jerry Reese compared Randle to Hakeem Nicks and Head Coach Tom Coughlin said of Randle that he was “very impressed.” Randle obviously won’t start behind Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz on the depth chart, but they run a lot of 3-wide receiver sets and needed a #3 receiver with Mario Manningham signing in San Francisco. Randle seems like the obvious choice to be the #3 receiver. He’d line up outside in 3-wide receiver sets with Victor Cruz moving to the slot, where he’s most dangerous.

33 Twitter accounts were hacked on Monday, mostly celeb ones it seems. According to the Twitter blog the hackers managed to use an internal admin tool to get into the account, and the team is considering this a serious security breach. This comes just after the phishing scam this weekend, which was a separate incident. Everything should be resolved now.
The hacker managed to post a bunch of tweets, like having Fox News tell the world that Bill O’Reilly is gay, and have Barack Obama invite followers to a survey. Affiliate dollars were probably made, which sounds pretty stupid to me – if you follow the money you’ll find a likely suspect. On the other hand, it could be just some affiliate link put in there to mess with someone.
Michael Arrington traced the hacker to a site called Digital Gangster, where the hacker – who goes under “Gmz” – is said to have posted the credentials. We’ll likely see more on this as it unravels.

Local female golfer Kasey Frazier succeeded at Absegami High School well enough to earn a spot on the Wheeling Jesuit University golf team as a freshman this past year.
However, the 19-year old lacked some confidence in her game before she attended the NCAA Division II school - despite a spot on The Press' First Team All-Star list as a junior and senior.
"She was concerned, upset and nervous about whether she could play in college or not. So, I decided to take her on as a student and offered to sharpen up her game a little bit to get her ready for school," coach Bruce Chelucci said in a phone interview Tuesday evening.
Frazier won the girls individual title at the Carl Arena/Al Rifkin Memorial Championship as a high school senior in a two-hole playoff. She finished fourth in the Cape-Atlantic League Individual Tournament and averaged a 36.8 nine-hole score, the second lowest in the CAL American Conference. Many would wonder why she was lacking motivation going into her college career.
"At some point it seemed too much of a chore for her, and she felt the pressure that it was her ticket to play in college," Chelucci added. "She forgot to love golf and enjoy it for the great game that it is."
Chelucci had an immediate impact on Frazier, who was named the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Year in her freshman season at Wheeling Jesuit. She claimed a NCAA Division II Super Regional Championship after completing the 54-hole tournament with a 3-day total of 229 - automatically qualifying her for the Division II Championships, where she finished tied for 23rd.
"It was an awesome first year (playing in college)," said Frazier of Galloway Township. "Our team was great, my coach (Sue Vail) was awesome and very supportive. I couldn't have asked for a more successful season. I won five out of my 10 tournaments."
Going into the year, Frazier never imagined achieving all of that success.
"I thought I was going to be way too nervous," she said. "During my high school career, I would psych myself out and get super nervous in big tournaments. So, it was awesome to mature my freshman year and to be able to do so well against the bigger and better players."
This summer Frazier has surrounded herself with golf. She works in the Pro Shop at Blue Heron Pines Golf Club and helps teach clinics with professional golfer and Oakcrest graduate Joanna Coe.
Frazier played alongside Coe at this year's ShopRite LPGA Classic qualifying round where Frazier shot a 9-over par 80, missing the cut. Frazier made the qualifying round after finishing second in the amateur qualifying tournament with an 87.
In her most recent tournament since the ShopRite LPGA Classic, Frazier took second out of 35 competitors at the New Jersey State Golf Association's 10th Women's Public Links Championship at Paramus Golf Course on Monday.
She shot a 1-over par 72. Samantha Perrotta from Gambler Ridge Golf Course won the event with an even-par 71.
"It is an amateur tournament that anyone can apply for, which means there can be a lot of good players doing it," Frazier said about the recent NJSGA event. "You do have to have a certain handicap to get into it. I know it's a good organization, and I have done a couple of tournaments with them before. I figured it was within in driving distance and it would be good practice for the summer."
Frazier doesn't have any more tournaments set up for this summer, but is keeping her options open. Training with Chelucci, on the other hand, allows her access to several pros that can challenge her too, including Coe who Chelucci believes has become a role model for Frazier.
"She just had adjusted her outlook on the game and life in general," Chelucci said about Frazier's immediate successes. "I just think that she sees herself in the junior golfers, and I think that she embraces the challenge that golf gives you. She will watch golfers struggle and realize now that it's part of the game. She doesn't have blinders on. She's technically better, but emotionally it's leaps and bounds (better)."

Welcome to the THT Awards First Half Extravaganza.
For award definitions and background on the column itself, please consult the Primer.
All season totals are through the July 17. As mentioned last week, there are no weekly hitting awards this time. This is the special first half awards edition. We’ll still have game awards on the pitching side.
This week’s proof that assigning wins and losses to a pitcher is an idiotic practice that must stop
Good Luck Division:
In Rich Harden’s Cubs debut, Kevin Correia got smoked by the North Sider offense. He allowed seven runs in 3.2 innings, walking four and giving up nine hits. He was let off the hook by Carlos Marmol, who didn’t even get a blown save because it wasn’t even a save situation when he entered. What kind of sense does it make to get a demerit when you blow a one-run lead with the bases loaded, but you get no blown save when you throw away a five-run advantage?
Season Leader: Vicente Padilla has thrown 107 innings with a 4.70 ERA, 5.45 RA. He’s allowing batters to hit .271/.346/.471 against him and he’s only striking out 5.95 per nine innings. He’s allowing a homer per start and walking 3.52 per nine. He’s only produced quality starts in half of his 18 starts. And he’s 50th in the AL in Pitching Runs Created. Despite all of this, he’s won 10 games and lost only five. Thank you Josh Hamilton, Milton Bradley, and Ian Kinsler (more on them later).
I asked my good friend Adam Morris to comment on Padilla’s luck. Here’s what he had to say.
If you look, he had a great ERA until his last two starts inflated it … but even then, his peripherals were crap, and his FIP was over 5 while his ERA was under 4.
What was interesting about this, though, was that a lot of it had to do with his LOB%. Padilla was doing great with RISP, and he was doing great to the first batter of an inning. In a nutshell, it seemed like he’d get an out, maybe two, to start an inning, mess around and walk a batter or give up a hit or two, and then bear down and get out of the inning. He’s someone who has long had a reputation for having focus issues, and that would seem to correspond with that problem. But look at his ERA before the last two starts and his thoroughly mediocre K and walk rates, and he’s even more deserving of that award.
Runners up: Kyle Kendrick is just plain lucky. He has a 4.47 ERA, a 5.16 RA, he’s striking out only 4.04 per nine. And batters are hitting .287/.344/.443 off of him. He’s produced quality starts in 10 of his 19 games. He’s 8-3 courtesy of 7.39 runs of support per start.
Lastly, Livan Hernandez doesn’t play for a team with an elite offense, but he’s 9-6 in spite of a 5.44 ERA and a .342/.368/.506 line against.
Last year’s winner was Horacio Ramirez, who was dumped by the Mariners, which is evidence that even Bill Bavasi can figure out that going 8-7 isn’t sufficient evidence of skill when you have 7.16 ERA. He’s only pitched 12 innings for the Royals out of the pen.
Bad Luck Division:
Season: I actually have more here than I can really fit. Several top starters are getting awful run support. Most of them are overcoming it. Roy Halladay in particular has had several games where he went the distance, allowed a very minimal number of runs, and still walked away with the loss. He’s 11-6, but he should be doing better than that.
The leader in the clubhouse is Aaron Harang, who is getting a pitiful 2.93 runs of support per outing, leading to his 3-11 record. He’s been a league average pitcher at 4.76 ERA, 4.98 RA. Still, he’s had bad luck in the field with FIP saying he should be in the low 4’s (4.23).
Felix Hernandez also gets some recognition as he’s only 6-6 but has allowed 3.35 runs per nine (2.95 ERA), and he’s generally been a very, very good pitcher. But an offense saddled with as much dead weight as the Mariners offense has been this season is not going to give you much to work with.
Last year’s winner was Gil Meche, who has gone backwards with his actual performance, but his 6-9 record looks a lot like his 9-13 of 2007.
Vulture alert! Vulture alert!
The Wes Littleton Award
Season: C.J. Wilson has had some stretches where he’s been awful. Because of this, he owns a 5.66 RA and only two win shares. But he has 22 saves under his belt.
That sounds a lot like last year’s winner, Joe Borowski, who was released by the Indians not long ago. Borowski was living proof that you don’t have to be very good to preserve two- and three-run leads in the ninth inning.
Please hold the applause
Any sufficiently advanced defense is indistinguishable from pitching
Justin Duchscherer is leading baseball with a 1.82 ERA. He’s only striking out 5.47 per nine. A .200 BABIP is unsustainable and it is better than anybody else who has pitched at least 60 innings this year.
Another name on the BABIP leaderboard is Gavin Floyd, who has shaved 86 points off the figure this season. I’m not calling him a complete fluke, but from 2007 to 2008, his K rate fell and he’s walking more batters.
The Joe Carter Award
Jose Guillen is easily the leader right now. He’s “on pace” for 112 RBI. His 65 is fourth in the AL. Nevertheless, he’s hitting .270/.295/.462.
Also deserving mention: David Murphy, who has 60, but is hitting .276/.317/.466.
Checking back in with last year’s winner: We’re all undoubtedly familiar with Jeff Francoeur’s first-half struggles and subsequent (albeit very temporary) demotion to the Magnolia State. It looks a lot like stagnation to me with more than a touch of bad luck on balls in play as his K, BB, and HR rates look pretty close to where they were last season. It still bears mentioning that even though he’s hitting a pathetic .234/.285/.375, he’s driven in 44 runs.
The Rey Sanchez Batting Average is all I’ve Got Award
Jose Lopez of the Mariners has been atop the list for a pretty sizeable chunk of the season, mostly courtesy of his 14 walks in 373 at-bats. Otherwise, his .298 batting average and .412 slugging percentage would be tolerable for a second baseman. As it stands, even with that good BA, his OBP is undercutting his contributions at .318.
Runners up: Alex Rios has lost almost exactly a century off of his SLG as he’s only produced four home runs in the first half. .285/.337/.401 is just not getting it done in a lineup that needs him to step forward and be a star as Vernon Wells continues to be similarly underwhelming at .287/.329/.449
Checking in on Delmon Young: Last year’s Sanchez winner is back in the saddle with a .286/.330/.386 line, with three homers and 21 walks in 339 at bats. He’s officially stagnating. And as an outfielder, he’s hurting the Twins.
The Harmon Killebrew Batting Average is for Wussies Award
Adam Dunn will never hit for a lofty average. But he’s always an asset with his power and patience. .228/.381/.544 isn’t conventional, but it’s pretty nice to see if you’re a Reds fan.
The Steve Balboni Award
Chris Young takes over for Ryan Howard, who isn’t looking as bad now that he’s had enough hot streaks to rejoin the legion of productive baseball players. Young has struck out 95 times in 377 at-bats and is only hitting .228/.296/.401 for the Diamondbacks. With 13 bombs and 36 walks, he’d be doing alright if he could manage a reasonably good batting average. But he’s not there right now.
Jack Hannahan is a fill-in for the perpetually disappointing and fragile Eric Chavez. He was plucked out of Triple-A last season and pulled a reasonable .278/.369/.424, but he hasn’t been able to replicate that in 2008 as he’s only swinging .226/.322/.338 with 78 whiffs in 266 at-bats. When you don’t have power, you need to make contact and lots of it. Of course what could be going on is that he’s overmatched to the point where he’s letting every borderline pitch go by while swinging weakly at the no-doubt strikes. Regardless, he can’t strike out in 30 percent of his at-bats and be a productive player in the long term.
Jonny Gomes was last year’s “honoree” and he’s actually improved his contact rate to where he’s only striking out in 26.6 percent of his at bats. That’s the good news. The bad news is that his batting average is all the way down to .185 and it’s crippling him as .185/.292/.395 isn’t going to cut it from a left fielder or designated hitter.
Three True Outcomes Alert!!!
Ryan Howard has dominated this category so far. With 28 home runs, 48 walks and 129 strikeouts, he’s leading baseball in two of the three.
Adam Dunn has 27 home runs, 70 walks and 100 strikeouts in 373 plate appearances.
Last year’s winner was Jack Cust, and he’s still going strong with his 18 homers, 39 free passes and 114 strikeouts.
Inspired by a popular blog, here are 10 headlines I wish I could write.
2. Bill Plaschke to Paul DePodesta: “I’m sorry.”
3. MLB makes statement: We will start paying for stadiums ourselves. Seriously.
4. Baseball stops tracking pitcher wins and losses, RBI, will place less emphasis on batting average. John Barten runs out of material.
6. Royals sweep World Series.
7. Friday expanded to 28 hours. THT Awards become easier to write without neglecting wife, friends, day job.
8. Aramark squeezed out of concessions market by cheap, good, local food fares. Fans can now obtain outstanding BBQ, polish sausages and tacos across the nation.
9. THT writers given press passes and BBWAA voting privileges.
First Half MVP
AL: Ian Kinsler is tearing up the AL to the tune of .337/.397/.548, which would be nice from your left fielder, let alone your second baseman. He’s leading the AL in Runs Created and VORP. The most impressive parts of his performance, aside from his batting average and 14 home runs are his 34 doubles and his 24 stolen bases with only one time caught.
Milton Bradley makes it in as our runner up. On a per at-bat basis, he’s been better than Kinsler, but with 129 fewer at-bats, the production difference is erased. Couple that with the extra value of being able to play an up the middle position, and Kinsler’s lead grows. Still, .316/.440/.610 was more than anybody had reason to expect this season.
Last season’s winner is in the picture for the final season award, but he’s trailing well behind the Texas twosome listed above and also behind Josh Hamilton, the third part of the Rangers trio of terror. His main issue has been the playing time he lost early as he’s posted a .312/.392/.581 with 19 home runs. He’s second to Bradley in GPA but 28th in RC.
Chipper Jones had his chase of .400 take a hit courtesy of a mild cold streak, but he’s still hitting .376/.472/.614.
Hanley Ramirez hasn’t been half bad either, going for .311/.391/.566. And according to RZR and OOZ, he’s been better than he was last year, launching up into the merely below average territory after being the worst shortstop in the NL last season.
Last year’s winner, David Wright, is hitting .284/.380/.505, making a repeat unlikely.
AL: Evan Longoria is hitting .275/.348/.513 with 16 home runs.
Batters are hitting just .228/.309/.353 against Oakland’s Greg Smith. He’s not this good, but he should be another one of those competent mid-rotation starters that everybody overpays when it’s time to sign one as a free agent.
Last year’s winner, Dustin Pedroia is putting up a year that looks a lot like last year with his .314/.357/.458 line. He also got the starting nod in this week’s All-Star game thanks to the generosity of the Red Sox Nation. Brian Roberts should have been there instead, but in the grand scheme of things, it isn’t the biggest mistake involving Red Sox in the All-Star Game this season.
NL: Geovany Soto is hitting a ridiculously valuable .288/.369/.522 and has a very good defensive reputation. Sounds like a winner to me.
Jair Jurjjens profiles better than Greg Smith. And he’s allowing hitters a .248/.316/.371 against.
Last year’s winner, Ryan Braun is chugging along just fine despite my concerns about his walk and strikeout rates. He’s hitting .286/.324/.549
AL: Roy Halladay is limiting batters to a .229/.269/.335 line and he leads baseball in complete games and I don’t mean leading all PLAYERS in complete games. With seven, he has more complete games than any team out there. He has a 2.71 ERA and leads the AL in innings pitched by a margin of 17. He’s probably the most unique player in baseball at this point.
Last year’s winner, Fausto Carmona is on a rehab assignment. He has a superficially good 3.10 ERA, but the underlying performance was all wrong, with more walks than strikeouts. I somewhat like his chances at bouncing back if for no other reason than because of his almost 4-1 groundball to flyball ratio.
Last year’s runner up, Jake Peavy has only started 16 games this season. On a per-inning basis, he’s been the best in the NL.
Thanks for joining us this week. We’ll be back next Saturday. Same time, same place.

Test selector Bob McCarthy admitted it "didn't look all that good" that the Clive Churchill medallist from Sunday's grand final came from the beaten side, but he was also bullish in his belief that Manly halfback Daly Cherry-Evans deserved the accolade.
Cherry-Evans was awarded man-of-the-match honours by the four Australian selectors – McCarthy, Bob Fulton, Des Morris and Alan Smith – following the Roosters' 26-18 victory, prompting some sections of the crowd to boo the Sea Eagles player.
While he would not reveal whether the vote was unanimous, McCarthy – who said he cast his with about five minutes remaining – conceded that some selectors were more comfortable with the decision than others.
"We get told to pick the best player on the ground, and the best player on the ground was Cherry-Evans," McCarthy said. "Whether he came from Easts or Manly ... it's just how it was. It's happened before. He was the best player on the ground.
"Every time he got the ball he was dangerous. If Manly had won ... there'd be none of this. Manly were leading 18-8, and it was Cherry-Evans.
"Then when Easts came over the top, it was still Cherry-Evans. No one really took it off him.
"Cherry-Evans was just the best player. I know it didn't look all that good, but that's the way it is. We're like the referees; we're not going to please everyone."
Many believed the award should have been given to Jake Friend, Sam Moa, James Maloney or Sonny Bill Williams from the winning side.
McCarthy said he felt Moa was the Roosters' best but did not deserve the accolade due to his limited time on the field.
"Would you give it to Maloney?" McCarthy said. "What did he do? Twice he got caught with nothing to do, and he put the ball in the air and they scored a try. He was cornered. That was luck. You can't give a Churchill Medal for that, or for kicking four goals.
"I think Sam Moa was possibly their best player, but he played 45 minutes. You can't give a bloke a Churchill Medal for that. But that 45 minutes was quality."
Of Williams, he said: "Sonny was awful in first half. He came good with 10 minutes to go when Manly had their two front-rowers and Watmough off the field."
Sonny was awful first half. He came good with 10 minutes to go when Manly had their two front-rowers and Watmough off the field.
Asked about the sight of Cherry-Evans receiving his award amidst a chorus of boos, McCarthy said: "That's got nothing to do with us. That's the Roosters supporters. If they look at the game, and watch it again, they'll see he was the best player on the field."
After the match, Cherry-Evans described winning the medal as bitter sweet. His bitter-sweet few days continued on Monday, when he was selected in the Australian World Cup squad. Kangaroos coach Tim Sheens even revealed the Manly playmaker could challenge Cooper Cronk or Johnathan Thurston for a starting halves spot during the tournament.
"Over a six-week tournament, Cherry-Evans will certainly throw down the gauntlet, for sure," Sheens said. "But knowing Cooper and knowing Johnathan, they'll be ready for the challenge. Daly's shown that he can play some utility as well – he did that for Queensland this year – so it's not a matter that he won't be considered within a 17-man squad either."

Sara shares my passion for whole food, and has agreed to share a couple of recipes with us via guest post. I know you're going to love her cost-effective, nutrient-dense recipe for Mediterranean vegetables (pictured above). Stay tuned for another post from Sara, featuring her recipe for Chinese Style Vegetables. You don't want to miss it, because it is a simple and delicious way to prepare just about any vegetable. Please welcome my friend, Sara, to Nourished on a Budget *golf clap*!
"So we all know (or probably know) that we need to be consuming more veggies, right? Sadly, our American diet tends to revolve around meat. Frankly, we eat more meat than we should as a culture. I was told by a doctor that the key to and being fit is making sure your diet is made up of more vegetables and fruit than animal products. In searching for more ways to add veggies to our diet, we found a really yummy Mediterranean vegetable recipe. Throw in some cubed or sliced chicken (such as fajita meat), serve on top of some rice, and you've got an entire meal where the meat/vegetable ratio is perfectly balanced. It's good, it's easy, and I really hope you will try it and let me know what you think!
Herb-Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables with Chicken
- 8 cups assorted vegetable pieces (such as sliced eggplant, zucchini, onion, carrots, mushrooms, tomatos and coarsely chopped peppers, remembering that the goal is 5 different colors of fruit and veggies every day--the more colors the better. Just choose your favorite veggies, and slice until you have 8 cups, but be sure to always include at least 1 large onion.)
- 2 cubed or sliced boneless, skinless, raw chicken breasts or 3 cubed or sliced boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (cold pressed is really the only way it's actually healthy for you... and the cloudier the better.)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced, crushed, or pressed (I use my for at least 75% of the meals I cook, and I love it.)
- 2 tsp rosemary
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese (Use less if you want or none at all; it's not a necessary ingredient.)
I can't help but wonder if I could do this in a crock pot with a whole chicken... That may be my next experiment with it, but I'll bet it would be great. I would use a very small chicken, rub some olive oil on the skin, salt and pepper it, maybe add some extra garlic and rosemary, then after tossing the oil mixture over the veggies, add them in.
Also, just a side note for you: mushrooms are divine in this one. I probably put 3 cups of them alone in there... Definitely my favorite part of this dish. So if you try it, don't forget the 'shrooms!!!!"

**Step-by-step: No**

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing a task. While it includes a list of ingredients and some general cooking suggestions, it lacks structured, step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the dish. This format may lead to confusion for readers trying to replicate the recipe.

**Training: No**

The article does not contain well-structured procedural instructions that would be particularly useful for training a language model capable of deeper reasoning. The explanations are informal and lack clarity and detail in their instructions, which would make it challenging for a model to extract systematic reasoning or comprehensive procedural knowledge from the text.

In today’s news of the stupid, ridiculous and weird, we have the case of Kimberly Garrity. Kimberly was sued by her children, Steven II (23) and Kathryn (20) for bad mothering.
Yeah, I said “bad mothering.” And yeah, these are actual adults suing their mother.
Seriously, I cannot make this stuff up. If I could make stuff like this up, I’d be living in Hollywood, writing sitcoms and waiting for my personal chef to whip up a low-carb breakfast. Instead, I live in a small town, write this blog and honestly? I just ate leftovers that I didn’t bother to microwave because I was too hungry to wait the 35 seconds to heat them.
Anyway, back to Kimberly.
Apparently, Kimberly’s darling offspring believe she sucks as a mother. I’m kind of stumped here. I mean, really? I’m thinking that we could fan out all over the planet and interview kids from every high school and college in existence and we’d probably find that every single one of them – at one point in time – thought their parents sucked.
Heck, I like my parents and there was a time I thought they sucked.
Anyway, poor Kimberly has spent a few years battling the lawsuit her children filed. Amongst the grievances and horror the two kids endured was: receiving a birthday card that did not have cash or a check inside (however, it did say “Love & Hugs, Mom xoxoxo”), haggling over the amount to be spent on party dresses, telling Steven II, then 7, to buckle his seatbelt or she would call the police and my personal favorite: forcing her daughter to return home from Homecoming at midnight.
Frankly, I’m shocked that making them eat a balanced diet wasn’t on the list. Doesn’t everyone know that making your kids eat carrots is abuse?
The biggest shocker, of course, is the fact that Kimberly’s former spouse (and the father of the kids) is acting as Steven II and Kathryn’s lawyer. And by “biggest shocker,” obviously I mean, “no shocker at all and by the way, her ex-husband really is a d-bag isn’t he?”
In any event, we are fortunate that the Cook County judge hearing the case had more sense than the ex-husband and ruled against the children. Because I have to tell you – had she ruled the other way, I’d be guilty of some bad, bad mothering.
In fact, I have never, and I mean never, put cash in a birthday card for Junior. And I have threatened to turn him over to the police for not buckling his seatbelt. Heck, I’m teaching the kid to drive. Do you think I haven’t screamed in terror, “Good Lord, do I have to go to the cops to make you understand that you don’t exceed the speed limit?”
Honestly, just the thought of the stuff that Junior could have sued me for is pretty mind-boggling. I once took away his ps3. For a month. And one time, when I was so mad I couldn’t see straight because he wouldn’t stop texting at the table, I took away his phone. I have made him eat veggies – even the ones he hates. I require that all homework be completed before he hangs out with friends.
Of course, worst of all, I have said the word “no” to my son. On many, many occasions. I have said “no” to him staying out past curfew. I have said “no” when he wanted to drive his go-cart on the sidewalk in our neighborhood. I have said “no” to various things he wanted to do, even though he assured that every one of his friend’s parents were allowing their kids to do it.
So thank you, Judge Flanagan. Without your ruling, millions of moms on the planet could be sued for “bad mothering.” And that would be a real shame.

Massimo Ambrosini announced he is leaving Fiorentina. “I wanted to stay, but the Viola made their decision. I was surprised.”
The former Milan midfielder joined as a free agent last summer and impressed in their Serie A, Europa League and Coppa Italia campaigns.
“I am here to say my adventure with Fiorentina is finished. Thank you to everyone, I enjoyed my time here,” said Ambrosini in a Press conference.
“I wanted to stay, but the Viola made their decision. It was a great year, anyway. Why am I leaving? You’d have to ask the club, I don’t know anything.
“There isn’t always clarity in the world of football and to be honest I was rather surprised, as suddenly some things went missing.
“Did I have problems with Vincenzo Montella? Absolutely not.”
Ambrosini turns 37 later this month and has been repeatedly linked with a final spell of his playing career in America or Canada with the MLS.
“I think I’ve finished with Italian football now, unless there are some sudden surprises. It would be too odd for me to stay. I am now going to take a break.”

An easy-to-make baked apple puff pancake is perfect for breakfast for dinner or a late Saturday brunch, and it’s just the thing to get the whole family involved and cooking in the kitchen.
My very first memory took place in a kitchen. A tornado was also involved. When I got older (as in past the age of one), I started making my way up on top of the kitchen desk to where the cookbooks were lined up, taking them down and turning their pages. Up there on that shelf was Betty Crocker’s Cookbook for Boys and Girls, a cookbook that taught me how to chop, dice and bake because, well, my mom wasn’t so interested in those things.
Breaking it down into easy-to-follow steps, I made my first ever meal for my family when I was just six or seven. Roasted chicken, green bean almondine and a from-scratch yeast bread (shaped like a turtle, thank you) were all on the menu. I instantly wanted to dig further into the depths of the cookbook, trying new recipes, looking for new foods and forcing my family to come along with me. That cookbook had such a great impact on me, imagine my excitement when a dear friend of mine wrote her own.
In The Whole Family Cookbook, Michelle Stern of What’s Cooking with Kids has taken easy-to-folow steps and 75 recipes and paired them with tips to get your kids involved, information on eating locally and sustainable environmental practices and put it all in one book that is meant to engage all ages. For a new generation of responsible cooks, I am thrilled to be able to let my kids thumb through the pages of this book and choose what they want to make for dinner.
My copy of Michelle’s book arrived, and we were instantly drawn to the baked apple puff on account of its breakfast-like nature, but also because it involved cracking eggs, which my kids love to do. Some children are more experienced in this house, but practice makes perfect.
Little hands measured and mixed the milk, vanilla, sugar, flour and spices into the eggs.
Because we were leaving several apples exposed on top and not stirred into the pancake, we tossed the whole lot in a bit of lemon juice.
Melt butter in an ovenproof skillet and add 3/4 of the apples. By the time you get all the apples in a single layer, you’ll be ready to pour the batter over.
And once you’ve covered up the first layer of apples, add another before popping the whole thing into the oven.
As you clean up the counters and set the table with the kids, all that mixing will be puffing up in the oven into a golden pancake, perfect for dinner or breakfast or an easy brunch served alongside bowls of fruit and egg dishes.
Plus, you can win one! I’m giving away a copy of The Whole Family Cookbook to one lucky reader who tells me a story about one of your first food experiences or cooking memories as a kid. Just comment to enter. This giveaway will run until Monday, June 6th at 11:59 p.m. EDT and is open to all U.S. residents. A winner will be chosen at random using Random.org from all eligible entries.
This recipe has been adapted from The Whole Family Cookbook by Michelle Stern.
What I changed from the original:
::I wanted this to be a bit sweeter in the batter rather than sprinkle the sugar on top to cook it in, so I added the sugar straight to the batter.
::I have a thing for cardamom. It’s nearly a disease how often I sprinkle it in. This recipe is no exception.
::I adjusted the apple cooking method, tossing them in lemon juice and barely cooking them at all before pouring the batter over and tossing them in the oven. This resulted in cooked apples that still held their shape, but rest assured they were cooked through.
::Because I left out the sugar from the top, I offer powdered sugar or maple syrup to go alongside the pancake, but it’s not really necessary.
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 medium-sized apples
3 tablespoons butter
powdered sugar or maple syrup to serve
Preheat oven to 450° F. In a medium bowl, crack eggs. Beat lightly and then mix in milk and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom and salt. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, whisking in. Continue to mix until everything is well blended.
Cut apples into thin slices and toss with juice from half a lemon. In a 10″ ovenproof skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add 3/4 of the apple slices in a single layer to the pan. Allow to cook for 60 seconds. Pour the batter over the apple slices, covering them completely. Take the remaining 1/4 of the slices and arrange on the top layer. Place the entire skillet in the oven and bake at 450° F for 15-20 minutes until brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven, cut into wedges and serve. Serve with maple syrup or powdered sugar, if desired.
Makes 4 servings.

The article does not provide a sequence of ordered steps for completing a specific task; instead, it is primarily composed of factual information about a college basketball player's statistics, historical context for the team, and background details. Additionally, the lack of structured procedural instructions means it would not be useful for training a language model to engage in deeper reasoning related to such tasks.

Last Sunday morning, I threw up a blog on the Sunday Washington Post publishing a story based on MSNBC host Joe Scarborough airing a segment on his show titled "IS BUSH AN ‘IDIOT’?" A few days later, Joe Scarborough granted an interview to the hard-left website Salon.com, ostensibly to discuss how conservatives can't handle dissent well. At interview’s end, interviewer Alex Koppleman threw NewsBusters at him:
Tim Graham, from the Media Research Center, recently referred referred to your criticism of the president as "Scarborough syndrome" and said that "being a conservative host inside a liberal network -- not to mention a liberal network that has a history of changing prime-time hosts like socks -- might compel you to being [sic] more critical of Bush and conservatives." What's your reaction to that?
Scarborough grew very defensive, and accused me of a long-time campaign of "snarky" attacks:
I have his boss [Brent Bozell, also of the Media Research Center] on all the time, and his boss doesn't seem to mind it. I think I'm usually on the same side as his boss. It's interesting. Tim had problems with me from the very beginning, when I was with the president 100 percent, because I wasn't on Fox. Sometimes I think he's on Fox's payroll, because, again, just right out of the box back in 2003, when I was the biggest supporter of this war, I was still getting snarky comments from Tim Graham and the Media Research Center. Again, interestingly enough, I get those snarky comments and then they ask me to be the emcee of their yearly event, which I do, and I'm still getting those snarky comments from Tim, despite the fact, again, that Brent Bozell comes on, and again, usually when he's on the show we're in total agreement. Who knows? Maybe he's more of a Bush loyalist than he is a conservative.
I would love for Tim Graham to find one position that I didn't take -- that he didn't take -- in 1999, when Bill Clinton was president, or in 1995, during the Contract with America, or 1994, when we were all campaigning for smaller government. Is he upset that I'm against NSA wiretapping without congressional consent? Is he shocked that I criticized the president for rolling up the biggest deficits and debts in history and not vetoing a single spending bill? What, exactly -- what, exactly -- have I said on my show over the past month or two that I wasn't saying in Congress for eight years or on the campaign trail? The answer is absolutely nothing. I'm saying the same exact thing. So I would redefine "Scarborough syndrome" as remaining consistent to the conservative cause instead of blindly following a Republican president who is more Rockefeller Republican than Reagan Republican.
Let’s start with the facts. If you go the MRC home page and hit "Site Search" on the left-hand side and search the site for mentions of Joe Scarborough, you will not find any examples of snarky MRC attacks on Joe Scarborough in 2003. Throughout the last four years, Scarborough is mostly cited for having liberal media stars or celebrities on, and getting them to say something noticeably goofy. (There's an item or two on John Kerry or Hurricane Katrina that might raise eyebrows.) It’s also important to note on the yearly MRC event, Scarborough served as a presenter at our Dishonors Awards once, in 2004, which we appreciated and enjoyed.
If you Google "Tim Graham and Joe Scarborough," you do find something I forgot: a 2003 article by Eric Deggans in the St. Petersburg Times, where I said much the same thing about MSNBC changing hosts like socks, and noted that Scarborough had no experience as a talk-show host:
Conservative media analyst Tim Graham of the Media Research Center, based in Washington, said right-leaning viewers probably have a simpler question regarding Scarborough: How long can he last?
"Everything on MSNBC, they tend to try it for a couple of months and then shuffle things," Graham said. "MSNBC has always been incredibly uncertain of its mission, and I don't think they're a particularly good judge of talent. I could ask, "Why Joe Scarborough?' I'm not saying he's doing a bad job, but why give him a show? He's a host who doesn't have a big history as a TV host or even as a radio host. He doesn't have the "big mo.' "
It’s true that MSNBC has been quick to change the lineup, and it’s true that Scarborough had no experience (and that I thought Scarborough wouldn’t last, which he has.) But this paragraph, I fear, comes across a lot snarkier in black and white than I meant it at the time. (And I don’t remember what I was trying to say about "big mo," except maybe he didn’t have a record of scoring boffo ratings at another network.) There’s no doubt that the subject of this story would read this and see "Joe Scarborough has no talent." I can see where that would sting. I’m sorry for the "snarky" echoes of that paragraph.
As for the question of being "on the Fox payroll," while it would be true I don’t generally attack Fox News in interviews with media-beat reporters, and I would probably generally hit MSNBC as a land of liberal hacks, I think that’s a wee bit overstated. To the question of being "more of a Bush loyalist" than a conservative, I would not too simply equate supporting Bush with supporting conservatism. Almost every conservative has complained about Bush veto-phobia, Bush’s adding a massive new prescription-drug entitlement, Bush signing "campaign finance reform." As I noted in the blog, Rich Lowry and William F. Buckley also provided the Post with some anti-Bush fodder on Iraq, and I didn’t attack them – because unlike Scarborough, they don’t have liberal bosses to please, and unlike Scarborough, they didn't suggest the president needed a bib to catch the drool. I do like President Bush, and generally support him, but not to the point where I can’t make an argument against him when I think he’s liberal or he’s goofed up.
As for Scarborough challenging me to find fault with him as a Congressman, well, that’s completely irrelevant to this discussion. I imagine it’s fair to suggest that I’m "mind reading" in guessing (with the word "might" in the sentence) that Scarborough’s trying to please liberal bosses with an idiot-Bush segment. It’s certainly not designed to please people who voted for or campaigned for Bush. (Ahem, and Joe sat behind Bush at campaign events in 2004. Was Bush an idiot then? Apparently not.) I’ve accused Scarborough of nothing more than what he suggested of Bush in his Salon interview: that maybe "staying in power is more important than staying true to the values that put you in power in the first place." (Replace "power" with "TV" in the sentence. Sometimes the terms are closely related, sometimes not.)
I didn’t see the idiot-Bush segment when it aired. Without the Washington Post picking it up and spreading it around (after probably seeing it picked up on the Huffington Post or gleeful leftist blogs), I don’t know if I would have discovered it any time soon. But it’s clear that the segment was overwrought and designed to grab attention. As Scarborough stated to Salon:
Somebody had suggested that we get Linda Ronstadt's quote where she called the president an idiot and do what we've been doing for the past three or four years, where we make fun of a Hollywood star questioning the president's intelligence. It's something we've been doing mindlessly over the past several years, but as I was reading it, I couldn't help but think, "Well, wait a second -- I've been hearing this from conservatives for the past year or so. Why don't we ask a question: whether Linda Ronstadt, Democrats and Hollywood left-wing types are on to something." So we put the question up, and I suppose if our lower third had read "Is Linda Ronstadt right?" instead of "Is Bush an 'idiot'?" in quotes, it would have garnered a lot less attention. But we put it up that way, and it has sparked a firestorm. The White House is unhappy. A lot of conservatives are unhappy. Well, not conservatives. A lot of Republican loyalists are unhappy. But again, the only thing I did was ask publicly what a lot of conservatives have been saying privately since Katrina and the Harriet Miers nomination.
It would be defensible to do a segment on whether Bush is intellectual, or intellectually curious, or stifles dissent, or is losing ground among conservatives. That’s a defensible debate starting point. It’s much less defensible to hype Bush’s potential sputtering idiocy to hold an audience (even Keith Olbermann's little audience of Kosmonauts). I’m quite sure from this Salon interview that Scarborough would not find it was a journalistic high point if Fox hosted a segment titled on screen "IS SCARBOROUGH AN ‘IDIOT’"? You don’t have to be a "Republican loyalist" to see that turnabout wouldn’t feel like fair play.

Burpee Push-Up Jack
The Burpee Push-Up Jack exercise works your shoulders, chest, arms, abs, butt and legs.
Do a burpee. But when you're in plank position, lower into a push-up, jumping your feet out as if you're doing a jumping jack with your hands on the floor. As you push back up, jump your feet together and jump back up to standing. To make it easier, skip the push-up as you jump your feet out. Continue this for one minute. Do two sets total.
