Police who issued an urgent appeal to find a woman by issuing a distinctive photograph of her with her tongue sticking out but giving few other details, say they have traced her.
North Yorkshire Police took to social media yesterday hoping it would help identify the woman but saying they could not say any more about her or the investigation for "operational reasons".
They said she is not a suspect but may have vital information. Her picture - which shows her sticking out her tongue and sporting a round sticker saying "Adult Admission" - has been shared thousands of times on Facebook and re-tweeted hundreds of time on Twitter.
Police forces around the UK have helped share the message.
Police confirmed she has now been traced and thanked the press and public for their help.

Twenty-Four Laredoans Indicted on Drug and Money Laundering Charges
|U.S. Attorney's Office June 20, 2013
LAREDO, TX—Two indictments alleging conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine, as well as money laundering charges, have been partially unsealed following the arrest of 25 individuals, United States Attorney Kenneth Magidson announced today along with Special Agent in Charge Javier Peña of the Drug Enforcement Administration and Special Agent in Charge Armando Fernandez of the FBI's San Antonio Division.
During law enforcement actions this morning, agents arrested a total of 24 Laredo residents. Those include
- Juan Pablo Contreras, 37
- Carlos Contreras, 33
- Modesto Moises Ramirez, 43
- Arnulfo Ramos-Valdez Jr., 42
- Julio Jesus Rangel, 30
- Ana Rosa Contreras, 31
- Martin Contreras Jr., 25
- Steve Contreras, 35
- Victor Contreras, 22
- Guadalupe Mario Contreras, 51
- Abraham Xavier Becerra, 29
- Jorge Alberto Guerra, 40
- Eufrosina Lopez, 41
- Yvonne Hernandez, 42
- Orlando G. Ibarra, 32
- Raul Victoriano Rojas, 40
- Luis Manuel Salinas, 46
- Leopoldo Arviso, 26
- Christopher O'Bryant, 25
- Eduardo Santa Cruz, 32
- Guadalupe Bedarte, 29.
Jaime Tomas Hernandez-Rocha, 45, Pablo Contreras Jr., 41, and Mario Alberto Rodriguez, 26, all of Laredo, are also charged but were already in custody. Also charged and arrested today was Richard Cruz Rodriguez Jr., 46, of San Antonio.
The indictment alleges some of those charged are members and associates of the Texas Mexican Mafia prison gang. The indictments, returned under seal on June 11, 2013, and partially unsealed following the arrests today, remain sealed as to those charged but not in custody.
"Today, DEA and our law enforcement counterparts issued a substantial blow to the Texas Mexican Mafia Laredo Chapter, allegedly one of the strongest Mexican-based cocaine trafficking organizations operating in Texas," said Peña. "The DEA will continue to assault these types of alleged drug trafficking organizations if they are suspected of brazenly distributing illegal controlled substances throughout our communities."
"These arrests today should send a clear message to the Texas Mexican Mafia, and other suspected criminal organizations, that law enforcement will not tolerate their alleged violent acts and trafficking of dangerous drugs in our community," added Fernandez.
The joint investigation began in 2009 and identified some of the defendants as members of the Mexican Mafia distributing cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine, according to the indictment. Additional defendants were also allegedly associated with the Mexican Mafia and participated in the conspiracy, doing so under the group's protection. The indictment indicates the distribution of heroin and methamphetamine was organized mainly by Juan Pablo Contreras and Carlos Contreras to other alleged members and associates of the Mexican Mafia and included distribution to locations such as San Antonio, Austin, and Corpus Christi. The investigation also uncovered evidence of the gang's money laundering activities, part of which revealed efforts to smuggle drug proceeds back to the sources of the drugs in Mexico, according to the indictment.
The charges are the result of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation named Operation X3, which was conducted by agents of the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, Homeland Security Investigations, and Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation. They were assisted at different times by the United States Marshals Service, police departments in Laredo, Austin and San Marcos, Customs and Border Protection, Texas Department of Public Safety-Criminal Investigations Division, and the LaSalle and Karnes County Sheriff's Offices.
Assistant United States Attorneys James Hepburn and Andy Guardiola are prosecuting the cases.
An indictment is a formal accusation of criminal conduct, not evidence. A defendant is presumed innocent unless convicted through due process of law.

Sony announced price drops for its PSP device, which comes pretty expected as the company's Next Generation Portable is on its way. In an attempt to boost sales, Sony has also announced moving existing titles to its "Greatest Hits" and "Favorites" categories.
PSP's previous pricing of $169.99 melted to $129.99 and the price is official starting yesterday. While this is definitely too late for the PSP to come anywhere near the high-flying competition, it's probably not too little for users who now need to pay $40 less. However, note that the lower price applies only to PSP-3000 models and not the PSP Go.
Sony also moved some popular titles in its "Greatest Hits" and "Favorites" categories. As of yesterday, titles such as Assassin's Creed Bloodlines (Ubisoft), LittleBigPlanet (Sony), Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (Konami), Resistance: Retribution (Sony), Toy Story 3: The Video Game (Disney) and some others will retail for $19.99.
At the same time, Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII (Square Enix), Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (Capcom), Killzone: Liberation (Sony), Tomb Raider Anniversary (Square Enix) and some others are now in "Favorites" category and will retail for $9.99.

Picking the best crab cakes in Baltimore is a lot like picking your favorite coffee place. The choices are overwhelming—and loyalties are fierce. So it seemed downright brazen to even attempt to name our top patties. But that's exactly what we did.
We toured white-tablecloth restaurants, bare-table taverns, and old-time watering holes in our search, and weren't disappointed. We think you'll find our list is filled with respected standbys and surprising discoveries.
We found that simplicity is the key to a great crab cake. Cooks may vary the amount of each ingredient, but, essentially, we're talking about crab, mayo, and cracker crumbs with maybe some parsley, mustard, and a few other ingredients thrown in, and, of course, crab seasoning. Sadly, a lot of the crabmeat comes from afar these days, but we still embrace it as our own—and, thankfully, keep our Maryland food tradition going strong.
These cakes know you don't mess with a classic.
Captain Trey's
"Very little filler"
The bright and airy Captain Trey's—simple, scoured, and unpretentious—has the feel of a place you'd find in a seaside town instead of on busy York Road. And the crab cake—available cooked on site or ready to pop into your own 500-degree oven (smash it down with your palm first, we were carefully instructed)—will make you feel like you're on the coast. Available in backfin, (4.5 ounces, $6.95) or the jumbo-lump version (5.5 ounces, $9.95), they're no frill and very little filler. 10625 York Rd., Cockeysville, 410-666-4646.
Crackpot Seafood Restaurant
"Fistful of jumbo lump"
This longtime crab house delivers a 6-ounce fistful of jumbo lump crab with little filler and fresh, chopped parsley in the mix. Believe us, one cake will satisfy you—and we're not even talking about the restaurant's 20-ounce whopper of a crab cake. A regular two-cake platter ($25.95) includes two sides. We're traditionalists and couldn't resist the fat fries and crunchy coleslaw. 8102 Loch Raven Blvd., Towson, 410-828-1095.
Edgewater Restaurant
"Amazing crab cake"
Rarely does something live up to its hype the way Edgewater's amazing crab cake does. It's enormous at 7 ounces ($14). The lumps have a hugeness that is characteristic of imported crabmeat, yet they are flavorful and tender. The scant, exceedingly creamy filler somehow corrals them into a solid cake, broiled to an impossibly even brown, and with excellent flavor despite a lack of any detectable seasoning. Just, wow. 148 Mayo Rd., Edgewater, 410-956-3202.
Faidley Seafood
"Pure tradition"
A Faidley crab cake is much more than a crab cake. The jumbo lump version ($12.95) is 6.5 ounces of pure tradition. Best eaten standing up at one of the customers-only tables in the confines of the Faidley stall, the crab cake helps establish a benchmark. You may prefer your cake less creamy, or lighter on the saltine-cracker filler, but this cake, concocted by Nancy Faidley-Devine in 1987, with its touch of Old Bay and mayonnaise-based binder, is legend. In keeping with the democratic atmosphere of the market, Faidley also offers a 4-ounce, claw-meat cake for $4.95. 203 N. Paca St., Lexington Market, 410-727-4898.
Friendly Farm Restaurant
"Worth the drive"
Bigger than a man's fist, lumpier than an old pillow, these crab cakes are worth the drive to Baltimore County's bucolic pastures. The cakes ($19.95 for one, $29.95 for two) are advertised as 5 ounces, but they're really 6 ounces, our waitress said. We believe her. Pleasantly spiced with crab seasoning, they are moist, yet solidly packed. The bonus is that the family-style restaurant's entrees include a wealth of side dishes from cottage cheese and hand-cut fries to sugar biscuits and coleslaw. Ice cream is included, too. 17434 Foreston Rd., Upperco, 410-239-7400.
"Chunks of lump meat"
The most striking feature of G & M's famous crab cake is not its massive girth, but the size of the chunks of lump meat that comprise it. Broiled to a gorgeous golden brown, the crab cake is constructed with just the right amount of filling, which meshes into the meat. Occasionally, we've heard grumblings that G & M's cake is on the dry side, but we think its magnificence is in its purity. Crab is its dominant flavor, as well it should be. The platter comes with one ($16.95) or two ($24.50) cakes, but if there's a man, woman, or child on earth who can down two of these babies, we've yet to meet them. 804 N. Hammonds Ferry Rd., Linthicum Heights, 410-636-1777.
"Sourced from the Chesapeake"
At Gertrude's, the overall crab cake experience gets high ratings. First, there's the setting: What's not to like about the elegant dining room nestled in the Baltimore Museum of Art? And the sides: Try the sesame noodles and coleslaw made with apples and crunchy slivers of fennel. But even out of context, a cake here holds its own. In addition to Gertie's traditional crab cake—named for chef John Shields's grandmother—there is Clayton's Cambridge crab cake ($22) on the menu. Sourced from the Chesapeake (a find these days), the 6-ounce cake is lush with tear-shaped lumps, somewhat charred from the broiler, and laced with a minimal binder. Try it with the basil tartar sauce. 10 Art Museum Dr., 410-889-3399.
Gunning's Seafood Restaurant
"Broiled expertly"
Eating a Gunning's crab cake ($13.99) is essentially like having steamed crabs only without the hassle. The ruddy hue of the delicate, parsley-flecked bread binder evinces a healthy dose of Old Bay-style crab spice. It provides assertive, familiar flavor to a mixture of large and smaller-sized lumps, which are shaped into a ball (7 ounces) and broiled expertly to a medium-dense consistency. 7304 Parkway Dr., Hanover, 410-712-9404.
"A winner"
Say "crab cake" in Baltimore and someone will inevitably reply "Pappas." Now we know why. This 6-ounce mound of crab, lightly crisped on the outside and moist on the inside, with jumbo lumps stole our hearts. Forget the lackluster tartar sauce. This gem doesn't need any adornment. We grabbed one at lunchtime for $12.95, which included two sides. We opted for coleslaw and salad (mostly iceberg, but fresh and crisp). This one is a winner for hometowners and out-of-towners alike. 1725 Taylor Ave., Parkville, 410-661-4357.
"Smoked in fruitwood"
The lump meat in Nancy Longo's signature 5-ounce cake ($15 for the appetizer version when we visited; it's seasonally priced) has been smoked in fruitwood for a subtle flavor that in no way detracts from, well, its crabbiness. A binder of buttery crackers is mixed with enough shredded claw meat to hold the whole thing together. It's broiled to a crunch and served on a classy rectangular plate with a crispy corn pancake on the side. 1822 Aliceanna St., 410-675-2080.
Snyder's Willow Grove
"Truly remarkable"
The squat, hefty cake (6 ounces, $13.95) made with large, delicate lumps of crab is lightly seasoned and adorned with a few specks of parsley. The umber-tinged binder leads one to expect a big hit of mustard, and it delivers, but in an unexpected way—though the condiment does lend a subtle edge, the depth of the crab mustard makes Snyder's recipe truly remarkable. 841 N. Hammonds Ferry Rd., Linthicum Heights, 410-789-1149.
These crab patties always rise to the occasion.
Bluestone Restaurant
"Packed with flavor"
On the advice of a reader, we stopped by Bluestone to try out the crab cake. She was right. This is a 4-ounce crab cake that would make any Marylander proud. Small but packed with flavor, it features jumbo lump with a minimally mayonnaisey binder. The platter ($15) came with a tangy cocktail sauce (you can also get tartar sauce) and a side dish. We chose coleslaw. It was fresh and crunchy, though a bit liquidy for our taste. 11 W. Aylesbury Rd., Timonium, 410-561-1100.
The Bowman Restaurant & Pub
"Golden-brown balls"
If it's good enough for Baltimore County's finest, this popular, longstanding eatery is just fine for the rest of us, too. We don't know if the police officers seated near us had crab cakes that day, but they should have. These plump, golden-brown balls ($12, sandwich) were packed with nuggets of lump crab and stayed moist inside despite the gentle broiling. Choose a pickle-laced tartar or traditional cocktail sauce. Rippled chips come with the sandwich. Platters (one cake, $16, or two, $26) boast a baked potato. You can have the cakes shipped to your house or elsewhere, too. 9306 Harford Rd., Parkville, 410-665-8600.
Captain Larry's
"Classic effect"
Captain Larry's opts to let the crabmeat do the talking in their cake ($13.75, seasonally priced)—little if any seasoning is added to a loose, slightly eggy binder that sets to a deep brown on the exterior, but remains nearly liquid within, resulting in the classic "lumps tumbling-out" effect triggered by the first bite. We appreciate the simplicity, but maybe the flavor is a little too low-key; a touch of spice would be welcome. 601 E. Fort Ave, 410-727-4799.
Duda's Tavern
"Whiffs of Old Bay"
Duda's is rightfully venerated for turning out quality food with minimal fuss. Its crab cake (6.5 ounces, $14.99) is no exception—ours was a golden-fried orb of large lumps and a judicious amount of fairly dense, bread-based binder that gave the cake consistent texture and density, with whiffs of Old Bay and a strong parsley flavor. 1600 Thames St., 410-276-9719.
Fresh Fresh Seafood
"All lump"
Owner Darlene Parker, who runs the tiny restaurant with her husband, Ricky, couldn't be a more gracious greeter as you enter the storefront space. The casual atmosphere—you gotta love the sea mural on the wall—makes this a great place to tuck into one of the most interestingly-shaped cakes around. The 6-ouncer ($14.99) is all lump but it's flat and spread out like a burger. Slightly dry from grilling, it's still a satisfying find, especially with Parker's mothering. 507 York Rd., Towson, 410-821-3474.
Henninger's Tavern
"Staunchly traditional"
It warms our hearts when a good old-fashioned, pan-fried crab cake (3.5 ounces) emerges from a restaurant kitchen. Henninger's adds sophistication with a zippy basil sauce and a gorgeous chive and cabbage slaw. But the cake ($13) itself is staunchly traditional with modestly sized yet high-quality lumps and soft, slightly gummy filling with very little spice other than fennel seed. 1812 Bank St., 410-342-2172.
Koco's Pub
"Larger than a hockey puck"
Koco's Pub could easily be mistaken for a simple neighborhood watering hole—were it not for the consistent and unremitting praise for its crab cake. The goods are as described: larger than a hockey puck, plumper than a baby's fist, the 11-ounce patty is broiled to a slight crunch ($22.95 for eat in). The thick lumps of meat (imperial!) with minimal breading and Old Bay-tinged mayonnaise can be torn apart to become finger food. And though the meat, we're told, is imported, we were thrilled to find a shard of shell. This is the real deal. Overly sweet coleslaw and prosaic fries are an afterthought. 4301 Harford Rd., Baltimore, 410-426-3519.
L.P. Steamers
"Go for the broiled"
L.P. Steamers remains a stubborn Baltimore classic in a swiftly transforming neighborhood. Inner Harbor tourists still show up to hammer shells on brown paper while the more fastidious go for the crab cake, a diminutive 4-ounce specimen—fried or broiled—served with zero flourish on a plastic plate ($11.95 each, $15.95 for a platter with fries and slaw or macaroni salad). There's a hint of bread crumbs and flecks of parsley between the small lumps. Go for the broiled version; the fried version has a crispy casing with the taste of grease that could use refreshing—similar to the fries on the side. The highlight is homemade coleslaw: simple, crunchy, and not too sweet. 1100 E. Fort Ave., 410-576-9294.
Mama's on the Half Shell
"6-ounce beaut"
Listed under "Connelly's favorites" on the menu, this platter with one or two crab cakes is a pleaser. We opted for the single ($15.99) and are glad we did. This 6-ounce beaut is a heavy round of crab packed with lumps. A touch of Old Bay and no filler give it an edge. The restaurant also serves one of the best tartar sauces we sampled—spicy, oniony, soothing. You also get two sides. Shoestring fries were crisp and hot, but we can't say enough about the big pile of creamy coleslaw with fresh cabbage and carrot, flavored with caraway. 2901 O'Donnell St., 410-276-3160.
Michael's Cafe
"Plump, delicious cake"
The plump, delicous cake at this convivial bar and sports-themed restaurant is bound with egg and bread with a hint of Old Bay. Available in two sizes, 5 ounce ($13.50) and 10 ounce ($26), both are served as a platter with a choice of two sides. You can also order them to carryout, or to be shipped far and wide. 2119 York Rd., Timonium, 410-252-2022.
The Oceanaire Seafood Room
"Elegant setting for a cake"
The non-local seafood restaurant certainly "gets" Baltimore by placing a can of Old Bay on the table. It pairs nicely with its hearty crab cake with mustard mayo. Oceanaire is pricey, but you can get an appetizer of one crab cake ($16.95) and order some sides—we chose a immense round of hash browns and tender green beans—for a complete meal. If you're feeling really native (and rich), get the two-crab-cake entree for $31.95. Still, it's an elegant setting to savor a cake. 801 Aliceanna St., 410-872-0000.
The Reef Grille (formerly Rib 'n Reef)
"Filled with jumbo lump"
There's an 8-ounce behemoth or a 5-ounce monster ($14.90, lunch platter). Either way, you get a big hunk of crab cake. This ball is filled with jumbo lump, and a smooth, creamy binder keeps it moist and firm. There were a couple of shells, but they didn't detract from a Baltimore cake to be proud of. A platter comes with rice pilaf and a vegetable of the day. We swapped out the veggie for coleslaw. This crunchy, cabbagey mélange is maybe our favorite version ever. 22 W. Padonia Rd., Timonium, 410-560-0906.
"Classic Maryland cake"
The 6-ounce, cylindrical crab cake at Regi's doesn't have the creamy interior of a classic Maryland cake, but that may be to your liking. There's more flaky crab, less mush. It's bound with panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs) that may create a firmer consistency than traditional saltines. The cake, golden brown from the broiler, is available as a sandwich ($15.95) with fries or slaw (pick the crunchy cabbage, trust us) or doubled up as an entree. 1002 Light St., 410-539-7344.
Sip & Bite
"Exceptional value"
A recent remodel included a change to Sip & Bite's crab cake. Fortunately, it was for the better, with a few jumbo lumps now gracing the smaller lump meat and slightly sweet bread filling. Available grilled or deep fried, the moist cakes (6 ounces) possess a slight mayo tang, good crab flavor, and a nice accent of parsley and paprika. Even with a slight price bump (now $8.95), it's an exceptional value. 2200 Boston St., 410-675-7077.
Tark's Grill
"Marvelous flavor"
Finally, this space in Green Spring Station has a winning restaurant. The interior is American classic friendly, while the outdoor patio is relaxed and inviting. It's no surprise that the food matches the welcoming vibe. We are especially impressed with its beautiful lump crab cake. There was no apparent filler, and it had the most pleasant undertone of Old Bay. The lunch sandwich ($16.95) comes with a choice of one side (we got the creamy coleslaw) and your pick of bread. Thank you, but we eschewed it for crackers so as to not disturb the cake's marvelous flavor. 2360 W. Joppa Rd., Lutherville, 410-583-TARK.
You'll find delish cakes in unexpected places.
"All-lump patties"
An Italian restaurant with stately, Doric columns, starched white cloths, and formal, black-clad servers hardly seems like a place to go for crab cakes. Oh, to the contrary. This is definitely a place to savor our Maryland fare, especially if you're trying to impress someone. But you'd better have some money in the bank. The two-cake dish is market priced, and we shelled out $38 for the beautiful, all-lump patties with just the right amount of seasoning. Remoulade sauce is drizzled on each cake, but it's only enough to make it look pretty. Our dish came with steamed asparagus and a dreamy, creamy side dish of lobster saffron mashed potatoes. 306 S. High St., 410-727-0700.
An Poitin Stil
"Impressive mound of lump"
You wouldn't expect a stellar crab cake from a restaurant that counts off the days till St. Patrick's Day. But, it turns out, the Stil delivers an impressive mound of lump ($15.95 for a single). And that's no blarney. The crab-cake platter comes with sides—too garlicky mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus, the night we were there. Add a salad (Caesar or garden) to your dinner for $1.99, and you've got quite a nice meal. 2323 York Rd., Timonium, 410-560-7900.
Box Hill Pizzeria
"Crab cake to reckon with"
In addition to its excellent pizzas, subs, and Italian specialties, this Harford County favorite delivers a crab cake to reckon with. The 8-ounce sphere of lump crab with coleslaw, fries, and garlic bread ($13.99, other combos available) is a farmhand's bounty. There's nothing fancy here, from the serve-yourself sodas to the plastic tableware, but the cake is worth the trip. The pizza shop ships them, too. 2915 Emmorton Rd., Abingdon, 410-569-1788.
The Corner Stable
"Solid crab"
We know. The Stable equals ribs—juicy, fall-off-the-bones meat in a rich, smokey sauce. Wet naps are de rigeuer. But the restaurant also has one of the best genteel crab cakes in town. Who would have thunk it? The plump disk of lumps has nary a telltale sign of filler. It was solid crab, making it a bit drier than some. Still, this cake works. At lunch, the crab cake sandwich is $18.99 with fries. 9942 York Rd., Cockeysville, 410-666-8722.
Jack's Bistro
"A swirl of horseradish"
Thank heaven Jack's Bistro doesn't try and funk up its crab cake with chocolate—like its innovative mac 'n' cheese. In this case, chef Ted Stelzenmuller leaves well enough alone, and puts out a traditional cake: 7 ounces of lump meat, a swirl of Dijon-laced horseradish on the side ($18.75). The cake falls apart gently, though a recent sample would have benefited from a minute or two more under the broiler. But never mind. It's gussied up with a scoop of purple mashed Okinawa potatoes and a smattering of watercress salad. 3123 Elliott St., 410-878-6542.
The Landing Strip
"Colossal crab cake"
At a tavern where you're more likely to see patrons chowing down on burgers and cheese steaks, the colossal crab cake ($16.95, platter)—"We don't measure them. We just make them big," a server told us—is worth a trip to this local hangout, probably better known for the plane replica on its rooftop and the model planes dangling from its ceiling. Whether you eat in or carryout, the crab cake platter comes with a big, fresh salad or two veggies; dinner rolls, chips and saltines, and cocktail sauce—lots of food for your buck. 3030 Eastern Blvd., Middle River, 410-574-3388.
Luca's Cafe
"Love the cooking technique"
The crab cake at Luca's can be ordered solo between two thick slices of toast with Old Bay-dusted fries on the side ($16) or duet on a plate with mashed potatoes and the vegetable of the day ($27). There's a slight cracker-meal binder and minimal Old Bay seasoning in the 4.5-ounce orb—and we love the cooking technique: slightly sautéed and finished in a 500-degree oven for a nice crispy exterior. Alas, the blue-crab jumbo lumps, we're told, come from Venezuela. 1230 E. Fort Ave., 443-708-5694.
Meli Patisserie & Bistro
"Pleasant filler"
Meli's slick sense of style is evident in a pretty starter of three nicely browned mini-cakes ($14) comprised of smallish lumps and pleasant filler, subtly updated with a sweetly smoky paprika aioli and petite greens. Their smallness perhaps leave them vulnerable to the drying effects of the broiler, but they nonetheless pack a striking, crabby flavor. 1636 Thames St., 410-534-6354.
Olive Grove Restaurant & Lounge
"Softball-size cake"
By the time Olive Grove's crab cake arrives at your table, you may already be stuffed. Be forewarned: Don't fill up on the restaurant's delicious Italian salad and warm breadsticks, glazed with butter and garlic. The crab cake ($14.99 with one side and the aforementioned starters) is the real star. Broiled golden brown, the softball-sized cake has lots of filler, but it meshes nicely with the meat to create an almost sweet flavor. It might not be for everyone, but it's clearly loved by many: Olive Grove ships thousands a year throughout the country. 705 N. Hammonds Ferry Rd., Linthicum Heights, 410-636-1385.
Local celebs dish on our regional delicacy.
We asked some of Charm City's familiar faces to weigh in on crab cakes, including where to find the perfect patty and the secret to making them in their own kitchens.
Katie O'Malley, Maryland's First Lady
"When we are able to venture back to Baltimore, we love to get crab cakes from Bo Brooks, and since familiarizing ourselves with our new neighborhood, we have come to love crab cakes from Cantler's in Annapolis. Our favorite recipe truly comes straight from the home—Government House chef Medford Canby makes the absolute best crab cakes in the state. He has been making his recipe for 25 years and is truly Maryland's best-kept secret ingredient!"
Laura Lippman, Award-Winning Author
"I've never found a better crab cake than the all-lump at Faidley. It's my gold standard. In fact, I think it used to be served on a gold doily. The Evening Sun used to have a tradition of going to Lexington Market on Christmas Eve, and I remember [former Sun reporter] Joan Jacobson getting the crab cake—no bread, no sides—served on a gold-foil doily. At home, I make crab cakes from a recipe that my mother found in an old Evening Sun cookbook. My mother wrote it out for me by hand, and the first time I pulled it out of the recipe box, I called her and said, 'Hey, you forgot the measurements for some of the ingredients!' She said no, that was the way it was written, and you just had to guess. The bottom line is that a really good crab cake barely holds together, because there's hardly any breading. I won't eat a crab cake outside Maryland. Well, maybe the Delaware beaches."
David Pittenger, Executive Director, The National Aquarium in Baltimore
"My favorite crab cakes are at The Dock of the Bay Restaurant. [As much as I enjoy crabs], I do want to remind Marylanders, however, that the Chesapeake Bay's crab harvests continue to be at dangerously low levels. We need to get serious about improving bay habitat and water quality."
Doreen Bolger, Director of the Baltimore Museum of Art
"I am a great fan of the Clayton crab cake at Gertrude's at the BMA. This Eastern Shore recipe was developed by the J.M. Clayton Seafood Co. in Cambridge, MD. It starts with Maryland crab, and it is very simple—a little mayo, egg, and saltine cracker as a binder—plus slight touches of lemon and mustard for flavor. The crab cake breaks apart easily, and the taste of the crabmeat itself is so fresh and sweet. I like mine broiled a golden brown and served up with mango chutney aioli on the side."
Nancy Grasmick, Maryland State Superintendent of Schools
"I have two restaurants that are tied for first place for my favorite crab cakes. One is a small, modest restaurant in Anne Arundel County, the Edgewater Restaurant. The man who owns it cooks everything individually for every table, and the crab cakes are just fabulous with the perfect blend of lump crabmeat, hardly any filler, and just the perfect blend of seasoning. The other place is Timbuktu, also in Anne Arundel County. They have a delicious crab cake that is huge and is a signature dish for the restaurant. Because I grew up in Baltimore, I am devoted to crabs and am a typical Marylander in that I can eat over a dozen hard crabs. I am also terribly amused when I travel and see what is supposedly a Maryland crab cake on the menu."
Denise Koch, WJZ-TV Anchor
"The secret ingredient for my crab cakes is the McCormick crab-cake seasoning you buy at the supermarket. You simply use it, add crabmeat and some mayonnaise, and they are delicious. I own no McCormick stock, and I don't take bribes. It's simply my opinion. In fact, I regularly ship Hellmann's mayonnaise and McCormick crab-cake seasoning to my West Coast relatives because you can't get it in California. If I'm not making them at home, I buy them at Faidley at Lexington Market. They are the absolute best! I've also been shipping Faidley's crab cakes to family across the nation for years. I love their crab cakes. If I'm downtown, I just eat them standing up in the middle of all the Lexington Market fun and then get some hot peanuts on my way out."
Dorothy Hamill, Olympic Gold Medalist
"The key to making a good Maryland crab cake is the freshness and the quality of the crabmeat. I make my own, but I also enjoy the crab cakes at Elkridge Country Club and The Maryland Club."
Linwood Dame, chef/owner, Linwoods
"I keep it simple with lump crabmeat, homemade mayonnaise, some Panko bread crumbs, lemon, and Old Bay. I let them sit overnight and broil them. Whenever I travel and I see Maryland crab cakes on the menu, I order them just for fun. I usually end up asking, 'Where's the crabmeat?' because there is so much filler in them. Most of my crabmeat comes from Venezuela in big lumps, but Maryland crabmeat—which can be hard to get—is the sweetest of them all."
Brian Roberts, Orioles second baseman
"My favorite place to get a crab cake is at Mama's on the Half Shell in Canton."
John Shields, chef/owner, Gertrude's, and host of PBS's Coastal Cooking
"I have been cultivating a relationship with a company in business for generations called J.M. Clayton Co. on the Eastern Shore so that I can get Maryland crabmeat year-round for my restaurant. I make one of their family recipes, and one of the philosophies of the Eastern Shore crab cake is that this crabmeat is so good you don't want to do much with it to mess it up. . . . Because I work so much here, I very rarely get to go out. I like the crabs at [Parkville's] Perring Place, where they've had the same prep cook for 35 years."
Stiles Colwill, interior designer
"Eating crabs is a religion for me. When I make crab cakes at home, using Crosse & Blackwell (Seafood) Cocktail Sauce is key . . . and it's still available at local stores. When eating out, I go to Captain Harvey's or Obrycki's for crabs or crab cakes and, when out-of-town guests come in for the weekend, we order extra hard shells, take out the leftovers, and, on Sunday, we stand in the swimming pool, hammers, newspapers and beer on the side, and eat crabs standing in the pool."

Showhouse Roundup
Imaginative designs ideas for a kitchen, a library, and a bedroom
Showhouses are always a good venue for imaginative design concepts. Here, three designers demonstrate ideas for a kitchen, a library, and a bedroom.
Mansions and Millionaires Showhouse Mill Neck, New York
Although white is often used as a background to allow other elements to shine--colorful food on a white plate or a brilliant painting on a white wall--that isn't always the case. In Beverly Balk's all-white kitchen/dining area in Long Island's Mansions & Millionaires Showhouse, her dramatic fittings created a bit of a paradox--by making the absence of color into a presence.
"White doesn't have to be antiseptic," says Beverly. "It can adapt to whatever accent color is pleasing to you at the time."

Here, the designer drapes the room in scene-stealing white, using red as an accomplice rather than giving it a starring role. The bright primary hue doesn't attempt to compete, making only cameo appearances. Stripes on a bench cushion, piping on table linens, and tiebacks for white curtains framing a shelving display of shapely serving pieces all demonstrate that the mostly monochromatic scheme can handle jolts of intensity. An artful Andy Warhol-like arrangement of Campbell's soup cans on higher shelves peeks through the top, uncurtained windowpanes.
Soft fabric tempers the striking white-red scheme. Gathered skirts adorn a stool at the painted table as well as the sink surround in front of the window. Beverly added a strong graphic effect in the glass-fronted upper cupboards, where shirred sheer fabric covers the bottom two rows of panes.

Lake Forest Showhouse
Lake Forest, Illinois
Designer Michael Del Piero let armchair travel be her guide to setting up the library at the Lake Forest Showhouse near Chicago. She opted out of traditional library decor--the heavily mahogany-paneled walls and the leather-bound classics. Instead, she used a different sensibility to lead her design, immersing the room in a European ambience.
"In European homes, they have reading rooms, not libraries," Michael explains. "I wanted a space that inspired exploration instead of the atmosphere of a men's club."

To create an air of intriguing antiquity, the designer placed at eye level hundreds of beautifully patinated old books, many with worn and rugged covers, as well as other artifacts exuding a warm aura.
The original dark finish of the bookcases was lightened with a taupe-gray paint that blends with the white walls, window treatments, and upholstered furnishings.

Lake Forest Showhouse
Lake Forest, Illinois
Gail Plechaty's master bedroom suite for the Lake Forest Showhouse presents a Catch-22. On one hand, its envelope of serenity and calmness aids sleeping, which is, after all, the room's ultimate intention. But with a space cloaked in creamy fabrics, natural light, and furnishings that create such elegance, who wants to waste time in shut-eye?
Views of breathtaking gardens guided Gail's decision to produce a neutral suite. She bathed the walls in warm ivory to create a room that doesn't compete with the outdoors but whose tranquil ambience throws the arresting, glamorous furnishings into relief.
"It is maddening to me when the exterior and interior do not flow as one," Gail explains. "After all, the world's best architect and designer is Mother Nature."

In an ensemble that registers as feminine, the designer anchored the large room with a couple of pieces providing masculine heft. A black-painted four-poster is dressed in ivory linens that emphasize the bed's classic silhouette.

Daniel Eipp amassed a career-best seven points in the win over the Big Green (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard men's lacrosse team scored four goals within a 45-second span in the third quarter to pull away for a 15-10 win over Dartmouth before 1,313 fans at Harvard Stadium Saturday afternoon. With the win, the Crimson (4-3) improves to 2-0 in the Ivy League for the first time since 1998, while the Big Green fall to 2-4 and 0-1 in the Ancient Eight.
Jeff Cohen enjoyed his third straight five-goal game, while Daniel Eipp and Kevin Vaughan each netted four goals. Eipp also dished out three assists for a career-high seven points. Vaughan, who established a career-high with his six points on four goals and two assists, also collected five ground balls, while Keegan Michel won 18-of-24 faceoffs and grabbed six ground balls.
Goalie Jake Gambitsky recorded his second straight victory, stopping seven shots, while Dartmouth's Fergus Campbell finished with 12 saves.
After Dartmouth jumped out to a 1-0 lead at 12:13 of the first, Eipp had a hand in the Harvard's first two goals, as the Crimson went ahead, 2-1. At 9:45, Eipp assisted on a score by Cohen, and then Eipp followed with his own tally at the 5:58 mark.
In the second half, Dartmouth cut Harvard's lead to 7-5 at 10:51, but the Big Green was called for two one-minute non-releasable penalties at 10:02, giving Harvard a long man-up opportunity. The Crimson capitalized, netting three goals during the ensuing man-up chance, and then added another score at 8:56 for a four-goal outburst in only 45 seconds. Cohen scored two of the man-up goals at 9:41 and 9:16, respectively, while Eipp added a man-up tally at 9:03. Harvard followed with a face-off victory, and Vaughan finished with an unassisted score at 8:56 to cap the quick 4-0 run, as Harvard pulled away, 11-5.
In the fourth, Vaughan scored on a man-up chance at 9:51, and Cohen netted his fifth goal at 7:11, as the Crimson led, 13-7. Later in the frame, Vaughan and Eipp found the back of the net again at 4:09 and 0:39, respectively, as Harvard held on for the 15-10 victory.
The Crimson will visit No. 3/4Massachusetts Tuesday at 7 p.m.

BADoves necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 65 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
UPDATE: I have changed this to a LOGO DESIGN ONLY for $150! Let's see what you got! New company looking to break the mold! Image is everything! Looking to update our current logo with a sleek, modern, sexy logo for our unique business. Current site: http://www.BayAreaDoves.com.
White Dove Releases
Desired Color Scheme:
Black / White /Gray-Blue colors like site, open to another color besides Gray-Blue
Desired Style:
I like to think of us as a "high-end" service. I like the feel of Luxury Spa's, Wineries, Jewelry (Diamond) Stores, BMW & Mercedes. Modern, classy & elegant...and solid.
Accepted File Formats:
Hi-Res : EPS (Illustrator) - PSD (Photoshop) - Biz Cards - Print Ready, Fonts included
UPDATE: I have changed this to a LOGO DESIGN ONLY for $150! Let's see what you got!
Company Name : BAY AREA DOVES
Tagline: White Dove Releases
Image is everything with this business. The traditional problem with this type of business is not looking professional enough for people to trust with their wedding or special event. I want to look like a professional company. I want it simple and clean and to the point.
About us: We offer white dove releases for weddings, funerals & special events like Grand Openings, sporting events, music videos, parties and the such. We also do a lot of donated releases for 9/11 memorials, July 4th parades, funerals for veterans, etc...
Website: http://www.BayAreaDoves.com. We will be redesigning our site soon, but wanted to get a grasp on a new, updated logo first.
Target Audience: Our Target audience is primarily women (brides-to-be) for our wedding releases, but the general audience is adults of all shapes and sizes for other types of events. I would like the design to be classy and elegant, but not feminine.
General Specs: Our current logo is clean and to the point, but lacking that something extra. The design must be generic enough to advertise weddings, funerals and all kinds of events at the same time, so it should not lean towards a specific event. I want a recognizable dove or doves in the design. The font must be clear and legible, but can have some flare. Nothing too cartoon-ish, please.
I like the idea of white text which I could put on a black background for our website. But will also use it with black text on white at time. So it must be universal.
I would like it with a horizontal layout. I'd like to see the logo on both black and white backgrounds, and should also work in grayscale. This will be used for our website, stationary, t-shirt & advertising, so any mocks up of the logo in use would be a plus.
Important to note: Although our business is around the San Francisco Bay Area, please don't use this towards the design. I don't want any Golden Gate Bridge or Trolley images...ha! Please focus on the Doves and Style. We plan on expanding outside this area, so I don't want to focus on the area.
I have seen some amazing talent here at sitepoint, which is why I'm here. I'm excited to see what people come up with.
One contest that caught my eye was: http://www.sitepoint.com/marketplace/contest/683?. I like the white on black contrast, which gave it a modern and classy feel. This would be a good direction to go in.
Please email me at email@example.com if you have any questions at all, or leave a comment.

I just tried to setup multiple inboxes as described in this Google video.
Unfortunately I notice that the "Save changes" ("Änderungen speichern") button is greyed out!
Maybe my filter-rule is wrong? I took a screenshot of the example setting that I tried:
I know that before I once had "multiple inboxes" in use, so I'm really confused as to why I suddenly cannot setup those anymore. As the tab shows up, the labs feature is obviously activated.

Current Law Students / Re: Expected financial aid« on: December 15, 2005, 04:06:52 PM »
When you say, "get from the government" I suppose you mean federal financial aid. Graduate students aren't eligible for grant money, like in undergrad. Almost all get the guaranteed $18,500 in loan money, and many get other federal loans that are based on need. Some get work-study money also. Of course, there are private loans available as well. Basically, if it's not a loan, or work-study money, then it's not from the government. Of course, law schools give out scholarships based on need and merit.

Please compare a page from OpenMP 3.0 spec and a page from OpenMP 3.1. In 3.1 spec the font is severely horizontally compressed and spaces between letters are incorrect (some letters stick together -- and those are not ligatures, some letters have too much whitespace between them). That makes the text very hard to read.
The problem is, I think, that the 3.1 spec uses external fonts and my system doesn't have those available. Please, embed fonts in PDF: it is required to ensure that the document looks everywhere exactly the way it was typeset.

What's Next For Chuck Palahniuk? New Novels In 2013, 2014 and 2015 Announced!
[Photo from the StarTribune]
Publishers Marketplace dropped the news earlier this month that Chuck Palahniuk sold the rights to his next two books, as well as signed a deal in the wake of the Haunted movie adaptation finally getting its greenlight. In other words, this is a very good time to be a fan of Chuck Palahniuk.
So I figured it was high time we do our own "State of the Union" here at The Cult with a summary of what's in the store for fans of Chuck.
Doomed (Oct 8, 2013): Chuck's next novel is a sequel to his 2012 novel Damned. Here's the description Chuck gave me:
The next novel will follow Madison back to earth as a ghost, doomed to haunting her parents for a year. In flashback we see her earlier childhood, including the death of the kitten whose dead body subsequently clogged the plumbing of the Beverly-Wilshire Hotel. That death is not Madison's doing, but another death is. Whether it's murder or self-defense, as a ten-year-old Madison kills someone horrifically, and that's the most-likely reason why she was damned in the first place. We also begin to recognize a centuries-long conspiracy engineered to train and test Maddy for her role as the savior of all spiritual beings.
Nope, nothing subtle, here.
Oh, I forgot to mention it but the world ends in this next book.
October 8th may seem way off, but the good folks at Amazon already have the book listed for pre-order.
Beautiful You (October, 2014): Next year we get Beautiful You. The Publishers Marketplace articled listed it as a book "focusing on the apocalyptic marketing possibilities of feminine pleasure." Then in a recent email, Chuck gave me his own personal description of it:
It's a comic/erotic thriller, a mash-up of 'mommy porn' and chick lit such as Sex and the City, and fantasy lit like Clan of the Cave Bear. Imagine if Ira Levin had a baby with Jean Auel.
It's safe to say I am flipping out over this book. Chuck has promised to reveal more on this one soon, so stay tuned.
Make Something Up (October, 2015): Yep, Chuck's prolific style of writing has given us a telescope to see two years in advance. And so in October 2015, we get Make Something Up, a new collection of short stories, many of which have previously appeared in Playboy.
Stay tuned as we'll post more info (and maybe even a cover image for Doomed still) as we get them. For now, feel free to geek out in the comments or on our forums.

One of the many great things about summer is that its casual vibe allows you to wash and go, giving your hair a much-needed break from abusive heat styling. But when winter returns, most women bust out the hair dryer and flattening iron. "You're more likely to load up on treatments such as hair coloring and chemical straightening in the winter months—especially around the holidays," says Los Angeles–based hairstylist Michael Shaun Corby. Following are the two most common types of damage and simple steps for nursing your mane back to health.
Chemical Damage
Too many chemical treatments, like highlights and hair straightening, sap strands of natural moisture, leaving them dull and brittle. "Chemicals penetrate into the hair and eat away at the protective lipid layer, which is what keeps your locks nourished and glossy," says Emily Overton, a principal scientist for Procter & Gamble.
How to heal: Do a steam treatment once a week to help open the cuticles and let your conditioner really seep in to rehab your hair, says New York City colorist Rita Hazan. Here's how: After shampooing, apply a deep conditioner with protein and essential fatty acids to wet hair. Try Living Proof Restore Mask Treatment ($42, at Sephora). Microwave a big bowl of water for three minutes, then put on rubber cleaning gloves to prevent your hands from getting burned. Quickly dunk a medium-size towel into the bowl, wring out excess water, let it cool for a few seconds, and then wrap it turban-style around your hair. After five minutes, rinse.
Heat Damage
Hot tools such as hair dryers and curling irons fry off your hair's cuticles, the first line of defense against dryness, leaving the cortex exposed. The parched cortex is left no choice but to soak up moisture from the air to compensate, causing frizz. And if you continue using hot tools on damaged hair, it will become even more brittle and eventually break off completely, warns Overton.
How to heal: Prior to blow-drying, towel-dry hair (pat, don't rub) and spritz on a heat protectant with panthenol—it will help evenly distribute heat, and coat and condition areas that are already damaged and weak, says Overton. Try Pantene Pro-V Medium-Thick Style Heat Protection & Shine Spray ($6, at drugstores).
Then use a dryer with a powerful airflow, which reduces styling time and minimizes heat exposure, and a nozzle attachment to create a safe distance between your hair and the dryer's piping-hot metal coil. Try Remington Fast Finish Hair Dryer ($28, at Target).
If you flatiron, go over each section just once, and turn down the heat. Corby says 360°F is enough for fine hair; use 410°F for thicker strands.
10-Second Healthy Hair Test
Pluck a strand from your head and drop it into an eight-ounce cup of water. The faster and deeper it sinks, the less protein and moisture it has. If you hair floats, it's healthy.

Opening of Microsoft Pop-Up Stores Will Coincide With Surface Launch
October 26. That's the day Microsoft's new Windows 8 operating system officially ships and its Surface tablet arrives at market. It's also opening day for some 30-plus pop-up stores. Located in markets including Miami, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Atlanta, these temporary brick-and-mortar storefronts are intended to capitalize on the holiday shopping season and give consumers curious about Surface and Windows 8 some hands-on time with both.

The benefits of engaging customers in product development, product support and related activities are increasingly visible. Having the right technology-based system can enhance the customer experience and help companies improve both their innovation and customer relationship management capabilities.
In recent years, many well-known companies, including Microsoft, Cisco, Nokia, Volvo and Nike, have forged closer links with customers in the areas of innovation and value creation by establishing technology-based customer forums. These forums, known as virtual customer environments, range from simple online discussion groups to more sophisticated product prototyping centers.1 In many cases, companies incorporate organizational mechanisms to integrate customer innovation roles with internal product development systems and processes.
The benefits of engaging customers in product design and development, product support and other related activities are increasingly visible. By interacting with customers, for example, Nokia Corp. has been able to tap into innovative design concepts. Similarly, AB Volvo has been able to accelerate product development by involving customers in virtual product concept tests. Microsoft Corp., meantime, has realized considerable savings by embracing "expert" customers as partners in providing product support services to other customers.2 Such advantages, combined with the availability of powerful and inexpensive information technologies, help explain the rapid growth of VCE initiatives in both the United States and Europe.
Our research indicates that VCE initiatives can offer important (and often hidden) benefits beyond the innovation outcomes. (See "About the Research.") Specifically, customer interactions in VCEs can shape their relationships with the company as well as with the product or brand. Yet many companies treat their virtual environments strictly as an innovation platform and pay limited attention to other issues. We think that companies that ignore the broader impact of the customer's experience are overlooking an important dimension — something that they may not realize until it is too late.3

Minden senator wants Nevada to be declared a sovereign state
Two state senators and a dozen other Nevadans urged a Senate committee Tuesday to tell the federal government that "enough is enough" and declare Nevada a sovereign state, recognizing federal jurisdiction only in areas specified in the U.S. Constitution. Sen. James Settelmeyer, R-Minden, presented the resolution to claim sovereignty under the 10th Amendment, which says powers in the Constitution that are not specifically reserved for the federal government are reserved for the states."This resolution seeks to protect the citizens of the Silver State from an overreaching federal government," Settelmeyer told members of the Senate Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections.Senate Joint Resolution 3 proposes that Nevada claim sovereignty as a state and order a cease-and-desist for all federal mandates deemed beyond those enumerated in the Constitution.Settelmeyer provided examples of the federal government deeming 2,500 acres in Douglas County a flood plain, even though there is no record of flooding in the area, and changing arsenic regulations for water. Those changes put an economic strain on the affected locals, Settelmeyer said. "I feel our federal government has overstepped and is trampling over our state rights — ours and every other state's," said Carol Howell of the Carson City Republican Central Committee.Any future attempts by the federal government that are outside its enumerated powers would be prohibited, as would threatening civil or criminal action for failing to enact one of the non-enumerated mandates. It's a practice that one Nevadan said has become too common. "We need to tell the federal government we're not accepting blackmail," Richard Brengman said at the meeting. "Nevada needs to be represented by Nevadans, not the federal government."Sen. Mark Manendo, D-Las Vegas, told The Associated Press later in the day that there is an argument that states should be independent from the federal government. But he quickly added some forget the good parts of an involved federal government."States do receive a lot of assistance from the federal government," Manendo said. "Whether you agree or disagree, we do get highway money, we do get federal money for different things."He added he is undecided on the resolution but said it does have merit."There are pros and cons to it because states do have some benefit from the federal government," Manendo said. "I certainly wish Nevada owned more of its own territory here."Others sought to ensure that the resolution also rejects the United Nations' Agenda 21, a 300-page proposal suggesting a road map for the world in the 21st century. Opponents fear Agenda 21 would remove individual freedoms and usher in a one-world government. Jim Sallee urged the committee to serve as a line of defense against any sort of encroachment on personal freedoms by the federal government. "We are looking for you to stand between them and us, and defend the Constitution of the United States," Sallee told committee members via a video feed from Las Vegas.If passed, the resolution would be sent to the president, the vice president, leaders of both houses of Congress and members of the Nevada delegation to be entered into congressional record."I think we need to remind them," Settelmeyer said of the federal government and states' rights. "I feel they've forgotten the meaning of the 10th Amendment."

« White House Touts Race to Top Success, But Report is Light on Data | Main | Hearing Weighs How Congress Should Improve Teacher Preparation »
Can the U.S. House of Representatives Pass a Bipartisan Child-Care Bill?
Earlier this month, a bill that would renew the long outdated Child Care and Development Block Grant program sailed through the U.S. Senate, with overwhelming bipartisan support and love, and angels singing overhead.
Senators, who are normally at each others' throats, gave giddy floor speeches about how a collaborative process resulted in a fantastic bill that will help little kids by making sure that the people taking care of them wash their hands and don't have criminal backgrounds, among other new requirements. More here.
Now the big question is: Can the equally rancorous U.S. House of Representatives keep the bipartisan happiness train running and actually get the child-care grant bill over the finish line this year?
The answer, after the first House hearing on education since passage of the CCDBG bill? Probably. But don't count on a ton of new money for the program, which was first started in the 1990s to help low-income parents cover the cost of child care and after-school programs.
Rep. Todd Rokita, R-Ind., who oversees the subcommittee that deals with K-12 policy, kicked off the House education committee's first hearing on the program's reauthorization by saying nice things about the Senate legislation, which has already gotten praise from Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., the chairman of the full education panel. Rokita said the bill presents "a solid foundation for reform."
And he specifically singled out provisions that would bolster training child-care providers, and require annual inspections of child-care facilities. Currently about half of the states do on-site inspections of home-based child-care providers. Rokita is also a fan of the bill's push to give parents more and easier-to-understand information, so that they can more easily compare providers. Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., the top Democrat on the panel, also had high praise for the Senate bill, which would reauthorize the program for the first time since 1996. Scott said he is "eager for bipartisan collaboration" on CCDBG.
Rokita also sounded a word of caution, saying he wants to ensure that any "new requirements will help—not hinder—states in meeting the needs of children and their families." He'd also like to find ways to coordinate among the dozens of early-childhood programs across the federal government. (That's something Kline has said he's interested in, too.)
For their part, witnesses highlighted the need for changes that would be ushered in by the Senate bill. For example, Paula Koos, the executive director of the Oklahoma Child Care Resource & Referral Association, cited the disparity in current child-care and training requirements among states, something the Senate bill aims to fix by setting new minimum health and safety standards.
"I understand and support the need for state flexibility," she said in testimony. "At the same time, there needs to be some minimum core health and safety protections for all children in child care in our nation."
Olivia Golden, the executive director of the Center for Law and Social Policy, or CLASP, echoed that sentiment. "CCDBG would be strengthened by increasing its focus on health and safety and quality and allowing parents easier and more-sustained access to assistance," she said. The Senate bill would also allow parents to remain eligible for the child-care grants for a full year to ensure continuity of care. Right now, parents must reapply every three to seven months, on average.
Golden said that the new requirements must also be accompanied by more funding, a point advocates made during Senate consideration of the CCDBG bill. The Senate-passed legislation doesn't include any new resources for the program. In fact, for political reasons, it's deliberately vague on future spending levels.
But, toward the end of the hearing, Rokita made it clear he doesn't want to see significant new money poured into early-childhood education.
"If you all haven't heard, we're broke, Dr. Golden," he said. If child-care funding is the priority, for spending, he asked, "what's not so much the priority anymore?"

Harvard, Yale and Princeton will each bring a perfect 4-0 Ivy League record into the HYP meet (OAC).
Story Line
The Harvard men's swimming and diving team will put its perfect 4-0 Ivy League record on the line when it hosts Yale and Princeton in the annual HYP meet Friday and Saturday, Feb. 3-4 at Blodgett Pool.
What's at Stake
All three teams enter the weekend with an unblemished 4-0 record in the Ivy League and are tied atop the conference standings with just two weeks of dual meet competition remaining. Last year's regular season title came down to the final weekend as Harvard swept the HYP meet to secure a perfect 7-0 conference mark and earn the program's seventh regular season championship under Head Coach Tim Murphy.
Also at stake this weekend is Harvard's 11-meet win streak against Ivy League opponents and its seven-meet win streak at home in Blodgett Pool. Harvard holds a slight 37-36 edge over Princeton in the all-time series but trails Yale, 39-38, despite a string of 19 consecutive victories over the Bulldogs.
On the Web
Fans can watch all of the HYP action live online through GoCrimson.com. Single day passes are available for just $9.95 while complete coverage of the men's meet is available for $14.95. Diehard Crimson fans can watch both the men's and women's meets for $24.95. Click here to sign up today.
Last Time Out
Freshman Chuck Katis won three events as the Harvard men's swimming and diving team lost at No. 8 Ohio State on Jan. 21, 181-118. The loss snapped the Crimson's 13-meet win streak and dropped the team to 4-1 overall, 4-0 Ivy League.
Katis' first victory came in the 100 breast as he finished in a time of 55.29. Katis returned to the pool to capture the 200 breast in 2:03.43, and then led a 1-2-3 finish for the Crimson with a time of 1:50.35 in the 200 IM. Harvard also received a winning performance from Chris Satterthwaite who took home the 200 free in a time of 1:39.09.
Mid-Major Poll
