Stanford men look to tighten grip on second place
PULLMAN, Wash. - In the highly competitive Pacific-10 Conference, story lines can change in a hurry. Take today's clash between No. 14 Stanford and No. 9 Washington State. Two days ago, this was supposed to be a titanic matchup between the conference's second-place teams. Now, after Cal's upset of the Cougars and the Cardinal's throttling of Washington, the game has taken on a slightly different plot: For Stanford (17-3, 6-2 Pac-10), it's an opportunity to stay on UCLA's heels and put some distance between itself and the Cougars. For Washington State (17-3, 5-3), it's a chance to restore order on its home court, where Thursday's loss was its first this season. One statistic that doesn't bode well for the Cardinal: Washington State is 10-0 after losses under second-year coach Tony Bennett.

She and her two girlfriends had set up shop at 2 p.m. Thursday, and roughed it through the night. They scored five seats in the first row in the corner behind the glass next to the goal that Miami would attack to start play. "Oh yeah, it was definitely worth it," Regueyra said. "It got absolutely freezing during the night, but we had plenty of blankets. They (campus officials) opened up Goggin for a little while so we could come in and hang out, but by midnight we were on our own. There was a lot of yelling and cheering, though, and everybody was having a good time. "Besides, it's nice and warm in here (Cady Arena) right now," said Regueyra, right before faceoff. She said she left the tent pitched during Friday's game and that "the guys" would inhabit it overnight and make sure to get tickets for themselves and Regueyra and her girlfriends for tonight.
YottaMark's HarvestMark(TM) Delivers Support for the Produce ...
Leaders from PMA, CPMA and United Fresh along with representatives from more than 30 companies from a broad cross section of the produce supply chain met on January 9th to convene the Produce Traceability Initiative with the goal of developing an action plan to establish a consistent whole-chain traceability solution. The group reached agreement on several important elements. In addition to endorsing GS1 and beginning at case-level initially, the Committee encouraged companies to move toward item-level coding where feasible, as many produce products are now packaged for the consumer, thereby offering a viable option for providing traceability to the item level.
HarvestMark delivers case-level and item-level produce traceability information to wholesalers, distributors and retailers via a secure Internet portal.
Oregon City women see business advantage in civil union
He came across as thoughtful, careful and a good listener," Roey Thorpe, executive director, said at the time. She said Mosman convinced her that he cares deeply about being seen as a person who is fair. Abortion advocates, too, worried about Mosman's appointment to the judgeship since he once said he would "trim back" the Roe vs. Wade ruling. Abortion proponents worried Mosman's legal views would be influenced by his religious beliefs as a Mormon. At the time of his appointment, he said he had no problem following legal precedents, even those that were at odds with his faith. "One of my strongest religious views is the important principle of separation of church and state," Mosman once told a reporter for The Oregonian. "That is vital for the state, and it is vital for religion." .
Valentine's Day Latte
Fill the metal pitcher 3/5 of the way full with milk, or to the base of the pour spout.Place thermometer securely inside of the pitcher. Steam milk to 145ºF. The temperature will raise an additional 5 degrees as it sits. If you prefer hotter drinks, that's fine, but you will scorch it above 155ºF. (be sure your thermometer is calibrated!)The steam wand should be inserted diagonally just below the surface of the milk. This will create froth or foam necessary for a good latte.When frothing make sure you are creating rotational flow in the steam pitcher and once the temperature of the milk is about 100ºF or just warm to the touch, raise the steam pitcher to cease frothing and continue to heat to above temp. Tamp the ground espresso into the portafilter with roughly 40 lbs of pressure and lock it into the group head on the espresso machine.
