The Lay of the Land
Last Updated on Friday, 01 December 2017 09:51
According to the Washington Office of Financial Management, Pullman's June 2015 estimated population was 32,110. As much of the community's population consists of undergraduate students, the population takes a slight dip during the summer months. Summer is a great time to visit Pullman. The Pullman Chamber of Commerce takes the lead on the community 4th of July celebration and the two-day National Lentil Festival in August--fun for everyone!
The city is built upon 4 major hills with main traffic arterials in the valleys. Pullman is located in Whitman County between Lewiston, Idaho (30 minutes to the south), Spokane, Washington (90 minutes to the north), and Moscow, Idaho (10 minutes east) on the rolling hills of the Palouse.
The city is home to Washington State University, Community Colleges of Spokane Institute for Extended Learning at WSU and nearby Moscow is home of the University of Idaho and Lewis-Clark State College is down the hill in Lewiston, Idaho.
The Port of Whitman County , Southeast Washington Economic Development Association (SEWEDA) and the Palouse Knowledge Corridor promote business development. The health care needs of the community are served by Pullman Regional Hospital and numerous other providers.
Check out Pullman weather. Unlike the Washington coast, Pullman tends to be fairly dry and historically has been a dryland farming area with lentils, chickpeas, wheat, peas and other crops under production.
Pullman has excellent public schools in School District 267 and other private schools. WSU operates Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum which offers sports and entertainment second to none. The Palouse Discovery Science Center hosts hundreds of school field trips every year and boasts the membership of hundreds of families in and around the quad-cities (Pullman, Moscow, Lewiston, Clarkston) area.
Picturesque sites are within easy drives. Check out the Palouse Scenic Byway, Uniontown, St. John and the county seat, Colfax. You can find additional information at Washington Department of Tourism, Idaho Travel and Tourism, Pullman Chamber of Commerce, Moscow Chamber of Commerce, Lewis-Clark Valley Chamber of Commerce (Lewiston, Idaho and Clarkston, Wash.)
The city operates a transit system (Pullman Transit) providing fixed-route and Dial-A-Ride service throughout Pullman, while a private company operates the Wheatland Express offering Spokane airport and holiday shuttle services, and private scheduled and charter transportation services in the area as well. The city is a partner in the Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport which provides scheduled commercial flights as well as general aviation services.
The city and region are served by several daily newspapers, including The Daily News, which covers Moscow and Pullman, The Lewiston Morning Tribune, The Spokesman-Review, as well as the weekly Whitman County Gazette and student publications at each university, The Daily Evergreen and The Argonaut. The community is served by Neill Public Library as well as multiple libraries at each university.
The Pullman Parks and Recreation Department is a central clearinghouse for many recreational activities throughout the year, and both Whitman County Parks Department and Latah County Parks Department maintain recreational areas as well. WSU has an award-winning 18-hole public golf course, U of I has an 18-hole course in Moscow, and 30 minutes away are two additional 18-hole courses in Lewiston, Idaho, and Clarkston, Washington offering golf throughout the year.
Popular area activities (in no particular order) include:
• Boating on the Snake River
• Whitewater rafting, canoeing, and kayaking
• Fishing for salmon, trout, bass, perch, steelhead, and sturgeon
• Hunting for upland birds, deer, elk, moose, bear, and cougar
• Backpacking, hiking, and camping
• Bicycling and mountain biking
• Softball leagues

text: There are very few things that I respect more than a movie that is unafraid to embrace its own stupidity. Kong: Skull Island has thinly written characters, extreme tonal dissonance, and a complete and utter disregard for the talents of Oscar-winning actress Brie Larson, but it's absolutely glorious in its brazen spectacle. Its thin characters and tonal dissonance don't matter as much because it thoroughly commits to its premise, and it seems like the movie is one ridiculous–but hilarious–visual gag after another. It's not trying to be something it's not, and that's something I appreciate in any movie, especially a nostalgia-laced B-movie blockbuster about a giant ape.

The 49ers added to their collection of kickers Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year contract with Billy Cundiff, who will try to unseat the embattled David Akers.
The 49ers confirmed Cundiff's signing and announced that they have released linebacker Eric Bakthiari, who appeared in five games.
Coach Jim Harbaugh has a week and a half to decide whether Akers or Cundiff will handle the placekicking chores when the 49ers host a playoff game at Candlestick Park on Jan. 12 against an undetermined opponent. San Francisco has a first-round bye as the No. 2 seed in the NFC.
Akers has been struggling this season. He has made just 69 percent of his field goal attempts, which is a career low, and is below 50 percent (9 of 19) from 40 yards or longer. He missed from 40 and 44 yards Sunday in a victory over Arizona.
Cundiff, 32, wasn't so hot himself this season, connecting on 7 of 12 field goal attempts before being released by the Washington Redskins. But he was 3 for 4 from 40 to 49 yards.
Cundiff's initial workout with the 49ers took place Nov. 27. Nate Kaeding also was part of that audition, but he signed Dec. 21 with the Miami Dolphins.
Cundiff has spent all or parts of nine seasons in the NFL, including the 2010 and 2011 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, where he was the full-time kicker. In those two seasons he was a combined 54 of 66, including 14 of 17 between the 40s.
His problem comes from 50 yards and beyond, where he is one for his past nine, including two misses this season when he was with Washington. But Cundiff has never missed during his career on 42 attempts from 20 to 29 yards.
Akers had a 21-yard field goal attempt blocked against the Seahawks on Dec. 23, and Richard Sherman returned it 90 yards for a touchdown as Seattle walloped the 49ers 42-13.
In addition to the Redskins and Ravens, Cundiff has spent time in the NFL with Dallas, New Orleans and Cleveland.

As you drive up to La Saladita there are numerous places to park your car near the restaurants. Getting out - it's a long paddle, but worth every stroke. Best place to enter the water is just south of the restaurants where the bottom is still sandy and you can avoid the breaking waves. There are 3 good breaks on a SW swell day in summer. Good for all experience levels. Wave speed tends to be slow on smaller surf days, very user friendly and better on a longboard than a shortboard, but can be great on a shortboard with big surf conditions.
Mellow spot, but sometimes the locals can be a bit protective of their territory, as goes for anywhere when the place has been discovered. Overall, a great place for all skill levels.
Malibu's reverse wave! longboarders wave, really fun. A great place to get ripped off. And the vibe is "going south"... alas it had to happen sooner or later.

shortboard rentals - Anyone know about the shortboard surfboard rental situation in La Saladita? I would rather not bring a board, but it is always risky without some local knowledge. Are there decent boards there? or just beaters? do they get sold out for the day?

Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Workshop 3
Reflect on how you teach the Lowell system in your classroom. How would you teach it differently with primary sources?
Now consider these lesson ideas contributed by Primary Sources teachers:
This lesson is similar to the Primary Sources workshop debate about the positive and negative aspects of the Lowell experience on young women. It was conducted over two days and augmented with a trip to the Lowell Mills.
The students first examined several readings for homework, including:
I divided the students into two groups, each one with a different position. One group represented the viewpoint that Lowell was beneficial to the young women who worked there. The other group represented the viewpoint that Lowell was a paternalistic, limiting experience for young women.
Each group spent a half hour writing their opening speech. A speaker selected from each group then presented the speech to the whole class. After the first speeches, the students went back into their original groups and wrote a rebuttal to the other group's first statement. Both groups then had a speaker present their rebuttals. The groups then reconvened for the final time and wrote their final statements. A representative from each group presented their conclusions to the whole class.
At the end of the debate, students who were not selected to be speakers had to give their opinions. Rather than following the viewpoint assigned to their group, they considered the following questions:
This lesson focuses on the different perspectives of the women working in Lowell and how these perspectives changed over time.
First, I wanted the students to see how the mills in Lowell were initially very liberating for the women who worked in them. The students discussed the gender gap between men and women of this time period and how the financial independence of working at the mills affected the women. The discussion dealt with how the women used the income, how the money affected their families, and how this work affected the women's public image.
The next discussion revolved around the more negative aspects of the mills in Lowell and explored the union movement. Students looked at why the women organized; i.e., the conditions under which they worked, the amount of time they worked, and the compensation they received. They took the perspective of both the mill owners (those trying to make money) as well as the women who worked the mills in an attempt to understand each side and the complex power struggle that ensued.
During the class discussion about the formation of unions in Lowell, I found that most of my students had a negative view of unions, taking the side that unions allowed people to do less work for the money they were paid. I took this opportunity to compare the formation of unions in Lowell to current union issues, illustrating how unions worked to support the workers in Lowell and how they can do the same thing today.

Stakes high in 2014 governor battles
MILWAUKEE — Next year, Democrats have a chance to begin to blot out a rare bright spot for Republicans: the nation's governorships.
For all the GOP's well-documented problems winning national elections lately, it's easy to overlook the party's dominance at the state level that its banner 2010 election produced. Three in five governors are Republicans — and they used that power to push through far-reaching conservative agendas and quite possibly lock down the House of Representatives for a decade through redistricting.
Story Continued Below
Thirty-six states have gubernatorial elections on the ballot next year, a list that includes a batch of Republican incumbents up for reelection in key presidential swing states — including Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The results could reverberate for years, shaping both parties' presidential benches, providing an organizational leg-up in critical 2016 battlegrounds and potentially even playing into the next round of redistricting in 2020.
The leaders of both parties' gubernatorial arms telegraphed their 2014 strategies during the National Governors Association summer meeting here this past weekend.
( Also on POLITICO: Governorships: Where are women?)
Democrats want to nationalize the top races in blue and purple states, linking Republican incumbents with the unpopular GOP brand and accusing them of being "distracted" by divisive social issues. Republicans expect to get a boost from the rebounding economy and the reforms they've managed to enact, in contrast to Washington stalemate.
Thirty of the 50 governors are Republicans. But with 10 GOP incumbents on the ballot this year and next in states carried by Barack Obama, Democrats believe they're poised to roll back some of the GOP's gubernatorial gains over the past two elections by picking up at least a handful of seats.
But taking out incumbents is a tall order — about four in five governors have been reelected since 1960, according to a University of Virginia tally. And while there were 24 open governorships in 2010, this year all but probably half a dozen of the 36 governors in states with elections will run again.
"If you look at the map, you can say certainly we're in a much stronger position than we were four years ago," said Delaware Gov. Jack Markell, who was chairman of the Democratic Governors Association in 2010.
Still, "It's still going to be rough," added Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, the outgoing DGA vice-chair, of the overall 2014 climate.
A poor economy helped Republicans get elected in 2010, and a continuing recovery in most states will probably work in their favor next year. Republican Governors Association Chairman Bobby Jindal said Republican incumbents can run as turnaround artists whose states have, for the most part, outperformed the national economy.
( PHOTOS: Bobby Jindal's career)
"It's not going to be about party labels or 30-second ads," the outgoing Louisiana governor and potential 2016 presidential candidate said. "It will be about four years of job growth, four years of balancing the budget, four years of taking on big problems like pension reform, education reform and tax reform."
The so-called six-year itch helps, too. State elections tend to be countercyclical. Just as the president's party almost always loses House and Senate seats in the midterm after his reelection, they also lose governorships. After the 2006 midterms, with George W. Bush unpopular, Democrats picked up six governorships controlled by Republicans and wound up with 28.
The electorate in nonpresidential years also tends to be older, whiter and more Republican.
The result of this is that only two Republicans running for reelection really look like dead men walking at this point: Pennsylvania's Tom Corbett and Maine's Paul LePage.
( Also on POLITICO: Tom Corbett in a bind over gay marriage)
Other blue-state Republican incumbents face very tough races but a clearer path to victory.
In Florida, home to perhaps the marquee governor's race of 2014, incumbent Gov. Rick Scott is expected to spend millions of his fortune to win a second term, touting the Sunshine State's economic recovery. Former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist, running as a Democrat to get his old job back, could face a primary from his new party.
In another top presidential battleground, Ohio Gov. John Kasich got off to a rocky start with a collective-bargaining measure that was invalidated by voters in a special election. But the economy has seen an uptick and Kasich has taken positions, such as accepting money from Obamacare to expand Medicaid, that have helped his standing with independents.
Wisconsin's Scott Walker is in fairly good shape after surviving the recall. Democrats are still working to recruit a candidate against him. And though Michigan's Rick Snyder took a dive in the polls after signing a right-to-work law last December, he has distanced himself from the conservative base on issues like Medicaid expansion and gotten a recent boost from his efforts to deal with Detroit's economic mess.
( PHOTOS: Scott Walker's career)
Iowa's Terry Branstad, who is also up for reelection next year, said he and other Midwestern governors will contrast how their states have done against the Democrats' most vulnerable incumbent, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, who might not even survive a primary challenge. Illinois struggles with high debt and taxes, and lackluster job growth.
"Our economies are stronger," Branstad said. "Democratic governors have done the wrong things. They've raised taxes. They failed to make the tough decisions."

Influenza (''flu'') is a contagious disease
It is caused by the influenza virus, which can be spread by coughing, sneezing, or nasal secretions.
Anyone can get influenza, but rates of infection are highest among children. For most people, symptoms last only a few days. They include:
Other illnesses can have the same symptoms and are often mistaken for influenza.
Young children, people 65 and older, pregnant women, and people with certain health conditions - such as heart, lung or kidney disease, or a weakened immune system - can get much sicker. Flu can cause high fever and pneumonia, and make existing medical conditions worse. It can cause diarrhea and seizures in children. Each year thousands of people die from influenza and even more require hospitalization.
By getting flu vaccine you can protect yourself from influenza and may also avoid spreading influenza to others.
There are two types of influenza vaccine:
A ''high-dose'' inactivated influenza vaccine is available for people 65 years of age and older. Ask your doctor for more information.
Influenza viruses are always changing, so annual vaccination is recommended. Each year scientists try to match the viruses in the vaccine to those most likely to cause flu that year. Flu vaccine will not prevent disease from other viruses, including flu viruses not contained in the vaccine.
It takes up to 2 weeks for protection to develop after the shot. Protection lasts about a year.
Some inactivated influenza vaccine contains a preservative called thimerosal. Thimerosal-free influenza vaccine is available. Ask your doctor for more information.
All people6 months of age and oldershould get flu vaccine.
Vaccination is especially important for people at higher risk of severe influenza and their close contacts, including healthcare personnel and close contacts of children younger than 6 months.
When should I get influenza vaccine?
Get the vaccine as soon as it is available. This should provide protection if the flu season comes early. You can get the vaccine as long as illness is occurring in your community.
Influenza can occur at any time, but most influenza occurs from October through May. In recent seasons, most infections have occurred in January and February. Getting vaccinated in December, or even later, will still be beneficial in most years.
Adults and older children need one dose of influenza vaccine each year. But some children younger than 9 years of age need two doses to be protected. Ask your doctor.
Influenza vaccine may be given at the same time as other vaccines, including pneumococcal vaccine.
A vaccine, like any medicine, could possibly cause serious problems, such as severe allergic reactions. The risk of a vaccine causing serious harm, or death, is extremely small.
Serious problems from inactivated influenza vaccine are very rare. The viruses in inactivated influenza vaccine have been killed, so you cannot get influenza from the vaccine.
Mild problems
If these problems occur, they usually begin soon after the shot and last 1 to 2 days.
Moderate problems
Young children who get inactivated flu vaccine and pneumococcal vaccine (PCV13) at the same time appear to be at increased risk for seizures caused by fever. Ask your doctor for more information.
Tell your doctor if a child who is getting flu vaccine has ever had a seizure.
Severe problems
The safety of vaccines is always being monitored. For more information, visit: Web Siteand Web Site
What should I look for?
Any unusual condition, such as a high fever or behavior changes. Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include difficulty breathing, hoarseness or wheezing, hives, paleness, weakness, a fast heart beat or dizziness.
What should I do?
VAERS does not provide medical advice.
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) was created in 1986.
People who believe they may have been injured by a vaccine can learn about the program and about filing a claim by calling1-800-338-2382, or visiting the VICP website at Web Site.

Singles Cruises
When it comes to singles meeting singles, today's perspective mates are dependent upon the vagaries of online dating web sites. But nothing beats making that perfect connection in person. And what better way to do that than on a cruise.
Cruising is a great way for singles to meet and is an ideal vacation option for those traveling alone. Where else but on a cruise ship would you feel more comfortable dining with new people or meeting Mr. or Ms. Right over drinks?
According to Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), most ships have parties tailored especially for singles, usually at the beginning of a sailing so people can get to know one another right away. Many ships even offer social hosts who can be dance partners, dinner companions or a card partner.
Once onboard, the focus is on activities geared to the single set. Many ships offer singles' cocktail parties at the beginning of each sailing. If you are traveling solo, you'll also want to choose a cruise line that is most likely to entice other singles with your same travel interests. For example, if you enjoy an active lifetyle, pick a cruise line that offers a lively atmosphere along with plenty of adventurous excursions, creating the right atmosphere for mixing it up with other singles. Or, look for a cruise that offers special interest seminars where you might meet others who share your same interests - whether it's antiques and popular culture to food, wine or music.
One of the easiest ways for today's singles to meet and socialize is on the dance floor, and today's ships offer ample opportunities. Some cruise lines provide gentlemen hosts - so the single gals can enjoy a dance partner. If you are a true jitterbug, look for a big band theme cruise, complete with dance lessons and big band parties. Dance classes aboard ships aren't limited to big band, either. Depending on the cruise line and voyage, you may be able to learn how to swing dance, do the salsa salsa, or even pick up a few hip-hop moves. Additional classes from ballroom to bellydancing are offered on select ships. And once the lessons are over, most ships offer adult nightclubs.
So, whether you are a swingin' single or prefer to look for love in the (cruise) library, don't worry: there is a cruise for you...and maybe even a love connection.

There have been too many awful Super Bowls over the years for anyone to sit here with a straight face and tell you that this Sunday's game will absolutely be an all-time classic. But all of the pieces are in place for the game to go down as one of the best that we've ever seen.
The Packers have a young franchise that overcame a ton of injuries to make the playoffs, and have been the best team in football since the playoffs began. The Steelers core is on the cusp of a third title that will cement them as one of the best groups to ever play the game.
That's a lot of narrative right there, but there are more reasons why this game could be a truly special one.
History: The fact that the Packers and Steelers have each won six NFL titles in the last 50 years, more than any other team, won't matter once the game gets underway. It certainly doesn't hurt the game's appeal, though. The winner will wind up as the de facto king of the professional football hill, a nice bonus prize to get for winning the Super Bowl.
Location: JerryWorld might not be to everyone's taste, but there's no doubt that a building of that scale is meant to host games of this scale. There will be a Super Bowl record crowd in a state-of-the-art venue that was always meant to be the Colosseum of the modern world. Over the top? Sure, but so is everything about the Super Bowl.
Matchups: The Steelers have a pair of fierce edge pass rushers in James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley. The Packers are terribly weak at offensive tackle, which should mean that Aaron Rodgers will be feeling plenty of heat because the Packers don't have much of a running game to keep Pittsburgh honest. That's okay, though, because the Packers receivers should have a big edge on an iffy Steelers secondary that is hampered by a less-than-100-percent Troy Polamalu.
On the other side of the ball, the Packers love to play just two defensive linemen so that they can bring exotic blitz packages that leave their excellent defensive backs playing one-on-one down the field. Rashard Mendenhall can really run the ball, though, and that might mean a change in plans to a more conventional look. If the Pack does that, the Steelers can easily switch to a passing attack that can exploit the areas left open. Lots of chess to be played by coaches who haven proven adept at the game thus far.
Quarterbacks: At the end of the day, the NFL is a quarterback's league, which is a big part of why this game feels like such a bonanza. Rodgers is looking for a ring that will put him on a pedestal alongside the elite names in the sport while Ben Roethlisberger could get a third ring that all but assures him a bust in Canton.
They do their business in different ways. Rodgers is at the helm of an offense that's operating at a ridiculously high rate right now and one that should be even better under the dome. He can make plays with his feet, too, which means that there's little chance he won't be the MVP if the Packers wind up winning the game.
Roethlisberger can put up the gaudy numbers, too, but he's also capable of games like the one he played in the AFC Championship Game. He made mistakes and missed on plenty of throws, but he also hit on the plays that he absolutely had to have while keeping several other ones alive because of his size and sheer will.
There's nothing we can do to make sure that all the pieces fall into place (or, sadly, about the halftime show), but we'll certainly be celebrating this game for years to come if they do.

Teething is a process in which the first set of teeth, called
primary teeth, erupt and break through the gums. Although the timing for each
child varies, most babies get their first tooth at age 6 to 10
months and have a full set of 20 primary teeth by the age of 3
Teething symptoms may begin about 3 to 5 days before a tooth breaks the
skin. But symptoms can be present off and on for 1 to 2 months. The most
common symptoms of teething include:
Many babies don't seem affected by teething. If your baby
is uncomfortable, home treatment (such as giving ibuprofen or acetaminophen,
teething rings, cold foods and liquids, and gum massage) usually helps.
Symptoms usually improve or disappear as soon as the tooth breaks through the

The Fairfield County office market followed up a strong first quarter with a mixed bag of results during the second quarter, with the Greenwich submarket faring slightly better than the region.
The Greenwich office of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank reported that in the second quarter the total availability rate for Class A and Class B office space in Greenwich was 22.7 percent, compared with 23.5 percent for the county.
The Greenwich availability rate was 22.5 percent in the previous quarter.
Across the county, the availability rate decreased slightly from 23.6 percent in the first quarter, according to the firm, which reported that Stamford has an availability rate of 28.6 percent.
Other submarket rates are central Fairfield County, 22.3 percent; eastern Fairfield County, 16.8 percent; and northern Fairfield County, 24 percent.
The availability rate typically represents space that will be available in a market within the next 12 months.
Least availability
Of all the regions, Greenwich has the smallest inventory with 4.4 million square feet, while Stamford has the largest at 14.7 million, according to Newmark Grubb Knight Frank.
Despite large blocks of space coming off the market in the second quarter, major blocks of space were added in the same period, preventing the availability rate from showing further improvement, according to the firm.
But there are some signs of improvement in Greenwich, according to Stephen Banker, executive managing director at the local office of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank.
"We're seeing some nice activity from Manhattan with small hedge funds," said Banker, who is representing 1 Fawcett Place in downtown Greenwich. "But leasing activity in western Greenwich has been static."
On the positive side, Fifth Street Finance, which bought 777 W. Putnam Ave. from Gateway Park Associates in 2013 for $38.85 million, moved into the 126,000-square-foot complex this month, Banker said.
West Side upgrades
Owners of office buildings on the west side of Greenwich have been upgrading their properties to attract tenants and compete better in the market, Banker said.
One of those properties is Greenwich Office Park, a nine-building, 425,000-square-foot complex on 23 acres.
The property underwent a $13 million retrofit to attract financial services firms, said David Block, senior vice president at the Stamford office of CBRE and leasing agent for Greenwich Office Park.
Asset manager Clarion Partners has positioned the property well for potential tenants, he said.
"We'll see deals get done in western Greenwich, as well as the CBD (Central Business District)," he said. "Before the end of the third quarter, we'll see an uptick in leasing activity. I'm a strong believer that it's only a matter of time before it picks up in Greenwich."
Private equity firms, financial services firms and hedge funds have long been a staple of the Greenwich office market and economy, Block said, and are returning after the recession.Read Full Article
"They are willing to pay a lot in rent, but they expect a lot," he said, adding rents typically are $50 per square foot or more, depending on location.
Financial firms expand
In central Greenwich, landlords are seeing financial-services tenants expand their operations, Banker said, adding AQR and JD Capital expanded at Greenwich Plaza. "600 Steamboat is seeing a pickup in interest, and Pickwick Plaza is ready to commence a major renovation. Ivy Equity is ready to start renovations at 41 W. Putnam," he said, "and improvements are taking place at 2 Soundview."
Pine View Asset Management, headed by Larry Petrella and Michael Siminerio, two former Tudor Investment employees, have located their business at 1 Fawcett Place, also called Greenwich Financial Center, Banker said.
"There's a trend toward taking a building where a larger tenant has moved out, and the space gets broken up," Banker said. "We're seeing some activity from New York City, as well as some new private equity and hedge fund groups that have formed."

The eyes of the golfing world, not to mention a dedicated TV channel, will be on Tiger Woods in the opening round of the 143rd Open Championship on Thursday.
But playing partner Henrik Stenson will be focused solely on claiming a first major title to put the finishing touches to his impressive CV.
Stenson and Argentina's Angel Cabrera have been paired with Woods for the opening two rounds at Hoylake and Stenson is rated to have a better chance than Woods of lifting the Claret Jug on Sunday.
As low as 5/1 before his victory at Royal Liverpool in 2006, Woods could be backed at 20/1 ahead of his first major of 2014 after missing the Masters and US Open following back surgery.
World number two Stenson - who can overtake Adam Scott at the top of the rankings this week - is rated a 16/1 third favourite behind Scott and England's Justin Rose, winner of his last two events.
"The Open Championship is a highlight of any season and for any player I think, especially European born ones," said Stenson, who finished second to Phil Mickelson at Muirfield last year and third in both 2010 and 2008.
"It would mean the world to me to win this championship and if it doesn't happen this year, I'll come back and try next year.
"I'm after a major championship at some point and I'm not going to be greedy, I'll take any one of them. But of course it would be the icing on the cake to do it in Europe."
Stenson's runner-up finish last year was part of an amazing second half of the season, which saw him become the first man to win the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup and European Tour's Race to Dubai in the same season.
The 38-year-old banked a USD 10million bonus for his FedEx Cup triumph, secured in style with victory in the Tour Championship in Atlanta, while also winning more than £3m in Europe.
But despite admitting he was "running on fumes" at the end of last season, Stenson insists he is determined not to rest on his laurels.
"I grew up watching this championship. It was a boyhood dream to play in the Ryder Cup and win the Open," added Stenson, who won the unofficial 'fifth major', the Players Championship, in 2009.
"So just because I've had some great success, I don't think that dream has gone away. And it's the last thing on my CV to make it complete, more or less, in my eyes. So I will try my hardest to make it happen.
"Motivation is always a factor, and you've got to have that drive if you want to make those things happen. And I feel like I still have that.
"I know I would be the first Swedish man to win a major. But for me it's more about winning a major. If one of my Swedish colleagues can do it before me, well done to them. I'm just looking at trying to get one for myself."
Woods of course has won 14 for himself, but none since the 2008 US Open. The 38-year-old has played just two competitive rounds since March - missing the cut in his comeback event at Congressional - but can at least draw on his stunning performance at Hoylake in 2006.
Using his driver just once all week, Woods swapped power for precision on the rock-hard links and won by two shots from Chris DiMarco, carding an 18-under-par total just a shot outside his own major championship record.
Current conditions suggest he will be hard-pushed to do so again, Stenson adding: "I definitely see more than one driver. I'll use it a few more times. There's at least two par fives (10th and 16th) where I see driver off the tee. And there could be a couple more holes depending on the wind."
The one piece of good news for Woods is that recent statistics suggest the cream will again rise to the top at Hoylake.
Since Darren Clarke and Keegan Bradley won the last two majors of 2011 when 111th and 108th in the world respectively, the lowest ranked winner of a major has been Ernie Els, who was 40th when he won the 2012 Open at Lytham.
Last year, Adam Scott was ranked seventh when he won the Masters, Justin Rose fifth before his US Open triumph at Merion and Phil Mickelson also fifth before his Open victory at Muirfield. Jason Dufner was 21st when he won the US PGA Championship at Oak Hill.
So far in 2014, Bubba Watson was ranked 12th before claiming his second Masters title and Martin Kaymer 28th before winning a second major crown in the US Open.
Seventh in the rankings after his comeback event, Woods would fit in nicely with that recent run of top-quality major champions. But Hoylake looks to have come just too soon even for him.
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

11 Frequently Asked Questions about Running a Marathon
You'd be surprised how often the same questions about running marathons come up (that must be why they're referred to as "frequently asked"). Here are eleven of those FAQs along with some answers.
Should I join a training group?
Many runners like training by themselves, especially if they're introverts or if they have busy jobs with constraints on their time. Unless you like running alone, are self-motivated and disciplined, and know what you're doing, joining a marathon training group is a good idea.
You'll have people to run with, a coach to give you a program to follow, and nutritional support on long runs. You'll feel like you're a part of something bigger than yourself.
Do I need to run 26 miles in training?
One major trait of the marathon that differentiates it from other races is that, unless you're a speedy runner, you won't cover the distance in training. That makes the last few miles of the marathon unexplored territory. But, hey, that also makes it exciting, right?
During training, time spent on your feet matters more than the number of miles you run. Obviously, the longer you run, the more prepared you'll be. But there's always a trade-off. The trick is to run as long as you possibly can without getting injured and without tiring yourself out so much that you can't run for the next week.
Is running bad for my knees?
People assume that, because running requires you to pound the ground with your legs, it must be damaging to your knees. But this is completely false. If you run correctly, you shouldn't be pounding the ground. The research simply doesn't support that running is bad for your knees.
People who run have no greater incidence of joint problems or osteoarthritis than people who don't run. On the contrary, running can be beneficial for your joints because it strengthens the surrounding musculature and increases bone density.
What is this pain in my knee?
Training for a marathon is not without its fair share of aches and pains. The key is to be able to differentiate what's just an ache that will go away on its own and what's a real injury. If you feel something in your knee, don't freak out right away. It could just be sore after a long run and will be fine tomorrow.
The most common source of knee pain is patellofemoral pain syndrome, with pain behind, below, or around your patella. It can be caused by a number of factors and can be treated a number of ways, depending on the pain's cause.
If you feel pain below your kneecap, it could be patellar tendonitis, an inflammation of the patellar tendon (the tendon that your doctor hits with a rubber mallet to check your knee jerk reflex).
What do I do if I get a cramp?
Despite the common occurrence of muscle cramps, why they happen is still something of a mystery. A common misconception is that cramps are caused by dehydration or an imbalance in electrolytes. Drinking a sports drink on your long runs, although important to maintain hydration, won't prevent you from cramping.
Muscle cramps are more likely caused by an increase in your running pace and premature muscle fatigue, which affects your nervous system's ability to relax a muscle after it contracts. Cramping is also associated with a family history of muscle cramps and a personal history of cramping and tendon or ligament injuries.
Should I run if I have a cold?
Exercise and your immune system have an interesting relationship. Moderate amounts of exercise on a regular basis strengthen your immune system and give you resistance against colds and other upper respiratory tract infections.
However, this is one case in which more is definitely not better. Long and intense training can actually weaken your immune system and increase the chance of getting sick. Catching a cold or getting the flu immediately after finishing the marathon is very common because your immune system takes a big hit.
What should I wear in the marathon?
On race day, wear comfortable shoes and clothes that you've already worn for your long runs. Don't wear anything new that you haven't already tried out or anything that can cause friction. Most people get by with shorts or spandex, a T-shirt or singlet, socks, and shoes.
What should I consume during the marathon?
Exactly what you should consume in the marathon depends on what your stomach can handle, but you definitely want to make sure you consume enough carbohydrate to delay glycogen depletion and hypoglycemia and enough fluid to delay dehydration. Both conditions cause you to slow your pace. Taking carbs and fluid at regular intervals throughout the race can make a huge difference in how you feel and perform.
Is stopping to walk okay?
If you're a purist, the answer is no. If you're a realist and your goal is to finish the race no matter how long it takes, then the answer is yes — walking is okay if that's what enables you to get to the finish line. Some runners walk as they go through the aid stations to make sure they grab a drink and are able to ingest it.
Walking is also okay under certain conditions that would make running dangerous, such as hot and humid weather or if you're injured (or about to become injured if you keep running). Some people in the sport, who shall remain nameless, advocate walking breaks within each mile.
What is the marathon wall?
The marathon wall is the point in the marathon when your muscles have run out of glycogen, your stored form of carbohydrate, and you've become hypoglycemic because you've used up all the glucose in your blood. Because carbohydrate is muscles' preferred fuel, when you run out, you start to feel very fatigued and your pace slows down.
How do I meet my family after the race?
Of course you want to share the accomplishment of your marathon with your family and friends. But how do you find them at the finish?
Big marathons usually have a designated area beyond the finish line with lettered signs for families to meet you. When you cross the finish line, you walk through a chute specifically made for the race to the designated open area, where you can also pick up your gear bag. Check the marathon's website for specific instructions on where to meet your family after the race.

Tat's too funny! Eva Mendes gets fake Twilight facial tattoo in hilarious Hangover sketch at MTV Movie Awards
Tat's not a good look: Eva Mendes starred in a Hangover spoof with Jason Sudeikis top open the MTV Movie Awards last night
January Jones's ex boyfriend Jason Sudeikis opened last night's MTV Movie Awards with a hilarious sketch based on The Hangover sequel - which saw Eva Mendes get her face tattooed.
In the skit, Jason, 35, agrees to have a beer with The Hangover's Justin Bartha and Twilight star Taylor Lautner after a yoga session.
He first wakes up confused and finds he is sat on the wall of Osama Bin Laden's Pakistani hide-out.
Crazy scenes: Eva discovers what she's had done later in a flashback
Deep water: The spoof saw Jason Sudeikis waking up and finding Eva in his bath tub
However, he then wakes inside to find he's in a filthy hotel room with Eva in his bathtub - but no Lautner.
Eva meanwhile discovers she's got a 'Team Jacob Forever' tattoo on her cheek, referring to Lautner's Twilight character Jacob Black.
As she sees the facial decoration in the mirror, she screams: 'What the f***?! I'm Team Edward. I've always been Team Edward,' of course referring to Robert Pattinson's character Edward Cullen.
Fresh blood: In the skit, Eva is also seen pretending to bite off Twilight star Taylor Lautner's finger
Tasty: Eva, who has recently confessed that she can't cook, appears to get stuck in to a bit of tasty Taylor
Finger of suspicion: Jason, who hosted last night's MTV Movie Awards, later finds the discarded digit
Sudeikis then stumbles in on Black Swan's Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis getting passionate, finds James Franco trapped in a canyon from 127 Hours and chats to Justin Timberlake - as Sean Parker - in The Social Network over the phone.
He finally finds the Twilight hunk - missing a finger which Mendes has bitten off - making out with Kunis and Portman.
Meanwhile, The Other Guys star has revealed that she can't cook.
The star - who has been in a relationship with George Augusto for nine years - says she is so hopeless in the kitchen so relies on restaurant food and home deliveries to ensure she gets the nourishment she needs, when she's not biting off Taylor Lautner's fingers, that is.
Morning after: The actress jokes that the tattoo wouldn't be so bad if it said Team Edward
She admitted: 'I open the fridge and don't know how to get from point A to point B. I do want to start because I feel really pathetic - at a certain age you've got to learn how to provide for yourself.
'We get home delivery meals three times a week and we go out the rest of the time. It's so embarrassing.'
Eva is currently filming See If I Care alongside Matthew Modine and Patricia Arquette.
A comedy drama, it's due out next year.
In the pink: Eva wore a classy dusky pink evening gown to Spike TV's Guy Choice Awards on Saturday night
The MTV Movie Awards meanwhile were the usual mix of controversy and fun.
While there were no Brunos descending from the ceiling onto unsuspecting Eminems, Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis raised eyebrows when they groped each other's private parts onstage.
Robert Pattinson also landed a kiss on Taylor Lautner and shocked the audience by using the f-word.
The awards are on tonight at 9pm on MTV here in the UK.

Here come more of John Cage's number pieces from OgreOgress, described as "Michigan's Classical-Experimental Label." The number pieces, which come from the last five years of Cage's life, are named for the number of performers they require. Three, for example, requires three performers, all of them playing a variety of recorders. Sometimes there is a number in superscript. Three2, for example, would be the second number piece written for three performers. Most of these scores are made up of individual notes or small groupings of notes, with an indication of when each note or grouping should begin and end, within the context of the entire piece.
As stated, Three is scored for three recorder players, although only one player is credited by OgreOgress, so I assume that over-dubbing has been used to triple Ms. Borsch. (And how would Cage have felt about that?) This piece actually requires 15 recorders, from the sopranino recorder down to the double bass recorder, so even live, a lot of instrument switching must occur. Three opens with a movement that lasts for 6:45, and then there are nine sections, marked A through I, each of them three minutes long. Cage specifies that "one or any number of these" may be played between the first and the last movement, whose timing here is 3:39. Borsch elects to play all of them, and so the work's total timing is 37:24. The music is pointillistic; often there's a note, then silence, then another note, and so on. Obviously this will be frustrating for listeners who feel that music should be overtly purposeful and linear. Other listeners will simply integrate Three into whatever else they happen to be doing, or not doing, at the time. Borsch's tone is very straight and clinically recorded, so it isn't always clear whether she is playing recorders or an organ (or perhaps a calliope). I wonder how Cage would have felt about that too!
Twenty-Eight is scored for three flutes, one alto flute, four clarinets, three oboes, one English horn, three bassoons, one contrabassoon, four trumpets, four French horns, two trombones, one bass trombone, and one tuba. Only eight performers are listed within the Prague Winds, so again, over-dubbing must have been used. With more performers, the texture is thicker than in Three, but not by as much as you might expect. It continues for 28 minutes and then stops.
Things get more interesting when Twenty-Eight is combined with two earlier number pieces, Twenty-Six and Twenty-Nine. ("Twenty-Six with Twenty-Eight" sounds a bit like an order in a Chinese restaurant!) Cage specified that some of his music could be played simultaneously, and that is exactly what happens in these two last cases. Well, not "exactly," because I think the simultaneity has occurred after the fact, if you will. In other words, OgreOgress already has recordings of Twenty-Six (for 26 violins) and Twenty-Nine (for two timpani, two percussionists, bowed piano, ten violas, eight cellos, and six double basses) in its catalog, and I believe that they were combined in the studio with the new recording of Twenty-Eight. And I wonder how Cage would have felt about that?
Be that as it may, these two combination pieces have a powerful impact, particularly the second, which is as sad as a frozen nuclear wasteland. (That's pretty much what I wrote about Twenty-nine all by itself, when I reviewed that OgreOgress release on Classical Net.) In Twenty-Six with Twenty-Eight, the use of violins brightens the textures, but it does not necessarily lighten them. In Twenty-Eight with Twenty-Nine, the lower strings (and the bowed piano strings) lower the temperature to near zero … make that zero degrees kelvin. I think of this as Cage's version of the last movement of Bruckner's Ninth Symphony. Tremendous! The playing in all of these works is ego-free but not disconnected.
The recording is clear but cold, and innocent of anything resembling a realistic sonic perspective. I think that's beside the point anyway. Reality is terribly overrated!

How well do you know the Code? Think you can spot violations the original installer either ignored or couldn't identify? Here's your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else's work from the safety of your living room or office. Joe Tedesco, who has a knack for finding shoddy electrical work, did the dirty work and found this mess. Now it's your turn to identify the violation.
Think you know how this installation violates the NEC?
Hint: How many did you say?
Find the Answer
With five different wiring methods installed in this box, including two electrical metallic tubings, two rigid nonmetallic conduits, one nonmetallic sheathed cable (Type NM-B), two surface metal raceways, and two Type AC cables, there is just not enough free space in this 4 inch x 1 1/4 inch square box. If we considered conductors sized at 12 AWG for each circuit, with two wires in each raceway, and cable, including an equipment grounding conductor in the RNMC and NM-B cable, we would end up with a total of 18 of the 12 AWG conductors, plus one additional for the three equipment grounding conductors, for a grand total of 19 conductors. As per Table 314.16(A), the maximum number of 12 AWG conductors allowed in this size metal box is only eight!

I do intend to finish up my post on Understanding Topographical Maps for Genealogists, but in the first post I asked a question about what state lies to the south of Arizona. This was not a trick question. I was not going to say something like, Florida, because it is "south" of Arizona. I really meant what state lies to the south of Arizona.
Well, I did get the answer but the person who got the right answer was my daughter so that really doesn't count. I also got the right answer from one of my sons. They are all Bloggers and definitely online.
Arizona's neighbor to the south is commonly called Mexico. But the real name of the country is (translated into English) The United States of Mexico. (Estados Unidos de Mexico or Estados Unidos Mexicanos). Mexico has 31 states and one Federal District. If you are interested, here is a list of the Mexican States in Wikipedia. The state to the south of Arizona is Sonora. People in Phoenix are more aware of this than other places because of the license plates from Sonora.
The point from a genealogical perspective is simple. Sometimes we are not even aware of how little we know about our world geographically speaking and that gets in the way of our genealogical research. Some of the insurmountable genealogical mysteries can move towards solution if the locations of the events are accurately identified. I have been talking about topographical maps for a while because two places on a map might look relatively close together but there just might be a major river or mountain in between. We used to live on the Ohio River. Even though we lived about a mile from Indiana, it would take us about half an hour to drive to the town across the river, because we had to drive to a bridge. Back in the 1800s there were no bridges and living across the river would have been a major obstacle.
Also populations migrated along rivers, railroads and canals. Knowing about the lay of the land and the proximity of developments makes a huge difference as to why and where people lived.
Just remember, there is a state south of Arizona. Sonora.

My girlfriend is a Playworker here in Cornwall and wants to come to Sweden in March for a month to volunteer in the Playgrounds.
She is having trouble finding any contact details to organise a volunteer position which is needed before she goes on the trip and also for the funding.
Any information would be a great help so if you know of anyone who works in a playground or even know what organisation runs them so she can contact them, please let me know.
any websites that feature playgrounds would also be great.

Hillary leads in Pennsylvania, including among bowlers, gun owners
Hillary Clinton leads among bowlers, gun owners and hunters in Pennsylvania, a blue-collar trifecta that is helping her hold an edge over rival Barack Obama heading into Tuesday's pivotal primary there.
The New York senator leads by solid margins in all three slices of working-class Pennsylvania - the political battleground where the two Democrats have waged war for control of the state, according to a new poll conducted for McClatchy Newspapers, MSNBC and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The one group where she does not have a solid lead is among beer drinkers; they split evenly between her and the Illinois senator.
Overall, Clinton leads Obama by a margin of 48-43 percent, with 8 percent still undecided. The telelphone survey of 635 likely Pennsylvania voters was taken April 17-18 and had an error margin of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
"Clinton leads in Pennsylvania," said Brad Coker, the managing partner for Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, which conducted the poll.
"However, the lead doesn't indicate she's going to win by a large enough margin to make a serious impact on Obama's overall delegate lead."
Clinton leads among women, whites, Roman Catholics and Jews, voters older than 35, those looking for experience and those who rank Iraq, the economy or health care their top issues.
She also leads in central and rural Pennsylvania as well as the Pittsburgh area.
"She's a woman, that's the main reason," said Catherine Nichols, a retired receptionist from New Providence, explaining why she prefers Clinton. "And she has the experience from being in the White House for so many years."
Obama leads among blacks, voters younger than 35, Protestants, and those looking for change or honesty.
He leads in the Philadelphia area.
"I'm getting tired of the same old thing over and over. It's time for a change," said William Allen, a retiree from Philadelphia. "He just has a different way of thinking and bringing people together."
Despite Obama's solid support in some areas, Coker said that Pennsylvania's demographics make it difficult for him to win, given his inability to draw more support from whites, the working class, or older voters. Obama pulled just 33 percent of the white vote, but 83 percent of the black vote.
"I would be surprised if Obama won Pennsylvania," Coker said. "There are not enough African-American and young voters. It's one of the older states."
Ever since the two clashed in Ohio in early March - where she won with heavy support from the white working class - the two candidates have sparred over that key voting bloc in Pennsylvania.
Their campaign's been marked by sharp disagreements over his comments claiming that small-town Pennsylvanians cling to religion and guns out of bitterness over their economic anxiety, as well as inflammatory sermons by Obama's pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
They've also offered dueling photo opportunities, with Obama bowling on camera, and Clinton downing a shot of whiskey and a beer.
Many voters dismissed such efforts as silly or superficial - or said they had the opposite effect than the campaigns intended.
Most saw clips of Obama bowling, for example, and several noted that he was bad at it.
"I saw the gutter ball. Why make an idiot of yourself?" said John Ferko, a retired postal worker from Phoenixville, Pa., who supports Clinton.
Indeed, Clinton seems to have won the better part of the culture clash, leading among hunters by a margin of 56-31 percent, among bowlers by 54-33 percent, and among gun owners by 53-28 percent.
Her shot and a beer gambit apparently didn't pay off, however; self-identified beer drinkers split 44-44 percent between the two. Coker said one reason could be that beer drinkers include more African-Americans - Obama supporters - than the bowlers, gun owners or hunters.
While Pennsylvanians seemed to divide along those lines, several voters said they were angry at the way the campaigns and news media played up the flashpoints more than such issues as the war in Iraq or the economy.
"A lot of that little stuff is being blown way out of proportion," said Calvin Dolan of King of Prussia, who supports Clinton because of her intelligence and experience.
A majority of likely voters said they watched the candidates debate last week on ABC, yet just 7 percent said it influenced their vote.
Oscar Hilton, a retired hospital driver from Philadelphia who supports Obama, said he didn't like the way the debate moderators spent the first half of the debate asking about Obama's ties to his pastor or a 1960s radical before getting to other issues.
"For 45 doggone minutes, that's all they talked about," Hilton said. "They tried to bait him and set him up. But he tried to stick to the most important things. We want to know what they're going to do about the issues."
Hilton's issues? Stopping illegal immigration and getting U.S. troops out of Iraq, both of which he said would help American paychecks and the economy.

The McClatchy-MSNBC-Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Poll is a snapshot of voter opinion at the time it was conducted. It is not a prediction of how people will vote on Tuesday.
The Mason-Dixon poll of 625 likely Democratic primary voters in Pennsylvania was conducted by telephone April 17-18.
Those interviewed were selected by a random variation of telephone numbers from a cross section of telephone exchanges. That means anyone in the state with a phone line had the same odds of being called as anyone else, except for people who use cell phones only. Cell phone numbers are not in the exchanges.
The margin of error was plus or minus 4 percentage points. That means that 95 percent of the time, the correct numbers could be up to 4 percentage points above our poll's percentage point findings, or up to 4 percentage points below them, although the most likely outcome is the one the poll reports. The other 5 percent of the time, the correct numbers could vary even more.
The sampling margin of error does not include other variables that could affect results, including the way questions are worded or the order in which they are asked.

Oddly enough, I find myself completely unsurprised to learn that childhood bullying is linked to a higher risk of psychological disorders in adulthood. It's more the other way. I find myself wondering why anyone would think it wouldn't be.
A significant study from Duke, out today, provides the best evidence we've had thus far that bullying in childhood is linked to a higher risk of psychological disorders in adulthood. The results came as a surprise to the research team. "I was a skeptic going into this," lead author and Duke psychiatry professor William E. Copeland told me over the phone, about the claim that bullying does measurable long-term psychological harm. "To be honest, I was completely surprised by the strength of the findings. It has certainly given me pause. This is something that stays with people."
So before the study he thought it was something that didn't stay with people?
Hmm. Maybe it's not so strange to think that. There is that funny way that suddenly childhood miseries get much smaller once you are more or less adult and independent. I know that's a common experience, at least in this part of the world where people go away to school or get jobs around age 18. It does seem to put it all in proportion.
Anyway. There is this new evidence.
I'm less surprised, because as I explain in my new book about bullying, Sticks and Stones, earlier research has shown that bullying increases the risk for many problems, including low academic performance in school and depression (for both bullies and victims) and criminal activity later in life (bullies). But the Duke study is important because it lasted for 20 years and followed 1,270 North Carolina children into adulthood. Beginning at the ages of 9, 11, and 13, the kids were interviewed annually until the age of 16, along with their parents, and then multiple times over the years following.
Based on the findings, Copeland and his team divided their subjects into three groups: People who were victims as children, people who were bullies, and people who were both. The third group is known as bully-victims. These are the people who tend to have the most serious psychological problems as kids, and in the Duke study, they also showed up with higher levels of anxiety, depressive disorders, and suicidal thinking as adults. The people who had only experienced being victims were also at heightened risk for depression and anxiety. And the bullies were more likely to have an antisocial personality disorder.
It's not just being bullied. Bullying is bad for you. Yeh I figured that.
It's important to point out that Copeland and other researchers don't define bullying broadly, in a way that encompasses a lot of mutual conflict among kids, or one-time fighting. Bullying is physical or verbal harassment that takes place repeatedly and involves a power imbalance—one kid, or group of kids, making another kid miserable by lording power over him. As Dan Olweus, the Scandinavian psychologist who launched the field of bullying studies in the 1960s, has been arguing for many years, this is a particular form of harmful aggression. And so the effort to prevent bullying isn't about pretending that kids will always be nice to each other, or that they don't have to learn to weather some adversity.
This is what makes the internet so peculiar in the context of bullying – it shoves us adults back into that stifling hermetic world of childhood, where physical or verbal harassment that takes place repeatedly and involves a power imbalance is just normal.

Don't Let Go of the Anger
NYTimes- By WILLIAM D. COHAN
One of the most frustrating facts of the recently abated financial crisis is that those who might have been partly responsible for it have got off scot-free. The only two people prosecuted criminally — the Bear Stearns hedge fund managers Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin — were found not guilty by a jury in Brooklyn. Other potential culprits — Angelo Mozilo, chief executive of Countrywide Financial, Joseph Cassano, chief executive of AIG Financial Products, and Dick Fuld, the chief executive of Lehman Brothers — were either slapped with a small civil penalty, in the case of Mozilo, or the Justice Department made the decision not to prosecute after months of investigation.

Winter In California
2 oz Germain-Robin Fine Alambic Brandy
3/4 oz Hachiya Persimmon Puree*
Juice 1 Satsuma Mandarin
1/2 oz Orgeat
1/4 oz Pimento Dram
Shake in an iced cocktail shaker to chill. Strain into cocktail glass.
I was looking through the search terms folks were using and happened to notice that among the more predictable terms, ("Absinthe!" Surprise, surprise!) that a couple days ago someone was searching for "Persimmon Puree Gin." Well, that's a bit obscure! Reminded me of an original cocktail I made last winter using Persimmon Puree.
Sorry to disappoint that it doesn't have any Gin! However, a fine cocktail that I had nearly forgotten. The size could use a bit of tweaking, as it seems like that is about enough for two drinks! Still worth messing around with, if you've got the ingredients.
The persimmon puree gives it almost as much body as adding an egg and the spice of the pimento dram complements everything nicely.
*To make Persimmon Puree, simply use a very soft persimmon, wash, take the leaves off of the bottom, cut in quarters, (check for seeds and remove if you find them,) drop in a blender, and buzz until pureed. If you let Fuyu persimmons hang around until they are soft they can also be used.

As Simon Cowell leaves the reality-show judge's chair, his old foil, Paula Abdul, is coming back.
CBS said Monday that Abdul will be a judge on "Got to Dance," a competition expected to make it on the air sometime next season. She'll also be an executive producer for the series, which is based on a successful competition that airs in Britain.

Cowell is leaving "American Idol" after this season, concentrating on another show he'll import from England. He had a love-hate relationship with Abdul, who left Fox's top-rated game before the current season when she couldn't reach a deal on a new contract. She's been fielding other offers since then.
There's no immediate word on when "Got to Dance," which will feature various forms of dancing, will go on the air.
