Rated 5 out of 5 by m7bfd from I've died and gone to heaven! I saw this and ordered it, even though it was back-ordered. Well, it just came in and I have nothing to put it on, but I didn't let that paltry roadblock stop me - I dug out a spoon and tasted it plain. MAN! That is good stuff!!! I ate 3 spoonsful and had to force myself to close up the jar and put it away. VERY good product!Date published: 2017-10-25Rated 5 out of 5 by PalmSpringsBaker from Williams-Sonoma Salted Caramel Sauce Truly Amazing! Love to heat this and pour over fresh sliced Granny Smith Apples. It's like Halloween without having to go trick or treating! Makes a wonderful gift. Try the Hot Fudge Sauce. :) EnjoyDate published: 2016-09-12Rated 5 out of 5 by Deaniejames from This Sauce is Amazing! I make a really good caramel but it's labor intensive, but why not just crack open a lid? I hate to admit it but this sauce is as good, if not better than my homemade caramel! It's perfect as a topping for almost anything, it's great as a cake filling, and it's great chilled eaten from a spoon! Try it you won't be disappointed!! If I were to add any kind of "Con" it would be the price. But you do get what you pay for! Excellent Product.Date published: 2016-05-16Rated 5 out of 5 by Suzstori from Delicious dessert sauce Love this sauce! used in apple pies, ice cream, cookies,etc.Date published: 2016-02-18Rated 5 out of 5 by JEAST from ADDICTIVELY GOOD This is very good sauce not too sweet and very carmelly. We just cut up apple and dip it in the jar.Date published: 2013-09-16Rated 5 out of 5 by DALEX from Not too sweet My problem with most caramel sauces is the cloying sweetness. This one is just perfect!Date published: 2013-07-27Rated 2 out of 5 by Blond1e from Very thick and gummy This sauce tastes fine but it is way too thick and sticky-I much prefer the caramel sauce that you used to carry. This one is ok when first opened but after refrigeration has to be microwaved or heated in order to flow-otherwise, one big glop.Date published: 2013-07-03Rated 5 out of 5 by Internationalcook from A Perfect blend One would be hard pressed to find a better salted caramel sauce. Truly, it really is fantastic. It is so good the only bad review was from someone who actually tried to pour the thick, rich, sauce in their coffee and it did not dissolve! It is just that good. It is the perfect balance of salty sweetness & is extremely smooth with a silky texture & thick. A little goes a long way [except in your coffee - would not recommend :-) ] enhances any dessert from pound cake, ice cream to a fruit dip. Addictive and delicious.Date published: 2013-05-29

Reports surfaced Thursday that the White Sox had the winning claim on the right-hander [reliever Trevor Hoffman ], but were unable to come to an agreement a deal and the Brewers pulled him off waivers, deciding to keep him.
"It didn't [happen] by the way," Williams said. "Don't take that any further than you need to."
Williams had just spent nearly a minute explaining why he wouldn't comment on a Hoffman claim, before then saying there was none.

Rated 4 out of 5 by KitKatMocha from Awesome Caddy! Sturdy, attractive, versatile Awesome caddy for use inside and outside my large RV. It is sturdy with a solid carrying handle that will not bend during usage. The only downside for storing is the handle will not fold, however this contributes to the sturdiness during usage. I highly recommend this caddy along with a few other Nito items like the chargers...Date published: 2015-03-15

When Crenshaw senior Cameron Hart was eight or nine years old, his mother Carole was driving him to football practice and asked him if he had finished his homework.
Cameron said no, and his mother pulled the car over and made him finish his homework before they went back on the road to practice.
"If you don't get these books down, you won't go anywhere," Carole Hart remembered saying.
"We always emphasized that athletics was a privilege," added his father Craig Hart.
It was a lesson that their oldest son took to heart. Now Hart, 18, is set to graduate today carrying a 4.12 grade point average to go along with an outstanding athletic career in football and baseball and an academic scholarship to University of California, Berkeley.
A four-year member of the varsity baseball team as an outfielder and middle infielder, Hart was a catalyst behind the Cougars winning three consecutive league championships. He ended his senior year batting .488 with 43 stolen bases, leading the City Section in the latter for the third consecutive year and making the All-City first team.
But for head coach Andre Green, what stands out the most about his team captain was his intangibles such as leadership, commitment, and hunger to always get better while showing his teammates how to be a role model.
"He showed the guys how valuable classroom time was and what being a leader is all about," Green said, adding that on the field, he'd constantly work every day to get better.
He was also a three-year standout in football, passing for 2,113 yards in his senior year and, in his two years as the starting quarterback, he led the Cougars to a league title and two appearances in the City semifinals.
Aside from winning the City football title in 2005, he's most proud of being the first Crenshaw athlete to be first team All-City in both football and baseball, something he accomplished this year.
Balancing academics with athletics is always a tough challenge that some seem to struggle with, but not Hart, who said that the minute he got to high school he knew it was time to get even more serious than before.
"I wasn't overwhelmed but shocked at what was expected of me," he said of that first day as a freshman.
Since that day, which he says "feels like only yesterday," Hart spent his precious free time getting his work done. It all paid off this past spring when he received several scholarships for his academic achievements.
Choosing to attend Cal was a natural fit, where the environment encourages you to carve your own path towards a degree.
That explains why he plans to create his own major via the American Studies Department: multi-disciplinary, alternative business networking binary communications.
He broke down every detail involved with the major, saying that with the economy headed toward a recession, people have to find alternative ways to make money outside of traditional sources while still being able to communicate and network
If you think he'll be to busy to continue sports, he's planning to walk on the baseball team as he's been in contact with the coaching staff. While that football bug might still itch every now and then, he acknowledged that baseball is now where his energy lies.
"It's my best chance for success and make a mark on the program," he said.
Hart is also active around campus, serving as the school's director of the House of Representatives. One minute he'll talk about sports and the next, you can see him staying informed on the latest issues.
You could say that it's comes from his genes. Both his parents are Crenshaw alums with his mother Carole (class of 1980) serving as student body president while his father Craig (class of 1979) played on the football team.
"He's the best of both worlds," Craig Hart said jokingly.
The Hart legacy will continue in 2009 when Cameron's younger sister Candiss, a sharp student and softball player, will enter Crenshaw.
But both parents are quick to point out that their pride comes from their son carved out his own unique path and established his own legacy.
You name the sport or activity, Hart has probably either done it or plans to do it soon, all with his parents' full blessing.
"Anything he wanted to do, he did it," Craig Hart said.
Green echoed the sentiments, saying that Cameron never took "No" for an answer on the field, even when he tried to explain something.
Is it any surprise that he's heading to a school where freedom of choice isn't only embraced but encouraged in anyway possible.
Maybe that's why the family isn't worried about him traveling up north to attend school because it's just one more challenge to overcome
"He knows how to be a competitor in and out of the classroom," Carole Hart said.
Cameron isn't worried either, remarking that he's been ready to live on his own for a while.
And soon, he'll make his own path on this next step of the journey.

BATMAN For A New Era: Gary Frank on BATMAN: EARTH ONE
Since fall 2007, when Gary Frank began his exclusive contract with DC Comics, readers have been experiencing a recurring artist-writer team-up through his celebrated collaboration with Geoff Johns.
Now comes word that in 2010, the two will work together again on a project that puts Batman in a whole new universe – and potentially in the hands of a whole new audience.
As announced yesterday, DC Comics is beginning a line of Earth One comics that will tell the stories of iconic DC superheroes in a modern setting. While J. Michael Straczynski and Shane Davis will be creating Superman: Earth One, Johns and Frank will reunite for Batman: Earth One.
The Earth One comics will not only update the stories of the heroes themselves, but will be presented in a more modern format as well, with a continuing series of graphic novels.
As Johns and Frank finish up Superman: Secret Origin, Newsarama talked to Frank about his upcoming work on Batman: Earth One and why he keeps coming back to Geoff Johns as his creative collaborator.
Newsarama: Finally, we hear what your next project with Geoff is. How did you find out about this project, and what did you think of this opportunity when you first heard about it?
Gary Frank: Wow, we're going back a bit!
Nrama: That long ago?
Frank: Geoff told me about the project a while ago when things were pretty embryonic but the actual format of it came (at least, to me) a long time later. It was just an incredible time. We had the Action stuff with some really iconic beats either done or coming up. We had the return of the original Legion to Superman's continuity, the death of Jonathan Kent and Secret Origin to follow and then, not one for an anti-climax, Geoff threw down the Batman news. That he wanted me to be involved was just unbelievable.
Nrama: Besides the chance to work with Geoff again, why did working on this type of project appeal to you?
Frank: First off, if Geoff said right now that he was writing his version of Arm-fall-off Boy, I'd be throwing my name in the hat for the pencils. The fact that this book is Batman makes it a no-brainer.
Also, I love stuff which is in continuity, but the freedom that a project like this gives us is a huge bonus. It's a blank slate.
Nrama: The format of this ongoing is a little different because it's being treated as a series of graphic novels. How do you think that benefits both the objective of these comics and the story itself?
Frank: Honestly, I don't know yet. It's nice to have something coming out regularly but it's more satisfying to hold a trade or a hardback with a big juicy chunk of story in your hands. The Secret Origin books are pretty big at thirty to forty story pages per issue, but they still fly by when you read them.
But, you know, I think DC just wants to try something different. Times are changing and comics don't sell what they once did. Every few years you hear people talking again about how the industry is on it's last legs and, while Hollywood has been good to us in recent years, no one knows how long that will last. There's an awareness that we all need to adapt in some way and I'd personally prefer to go this way than digital. Call me a dinosaur but I like paper.
Nrama: Let's talk about your take on Batman here. How is he different from the Batman in current continuity?
Frank: He's Bruce Wayne!
Nrama: Good point.
Frank: Sorry, couldn't resist.
But look, this isn't just the story of Bruce Wayne becoming Batman in a world where people have cellphones and wi-fi. It's not just the old story in a modern setting. This is a young guy who has a long way to go before becoming the Batman that we all know and love. I don't want to get into specifics because the journey is going to be the fun part.
Nrama How do you represent that difference visually? It looks like you've made some tweaks in the costume.
Frank: A major thing is that his eyes are visible. That might sound trivial but it creates a very different effect. You can never forget that there is a man in there when you can see the eyes staring out. This really lends itself to the story we will be telling which is far more about the forming of the character than a cool-looking superhero doing his thing (though I'm sure we'll get to that, too).
Nrama: We've seen how you and Geoff have handled the in-continuity story of Superman's origin. Is this story of Batman being handled similarly? Will the same types of emotional beats be tackled in a similar way?
Frank: I think it's going to be just as character-driven as the Superman stuff but there are less constraints. Everyone knows where Superman is going in Superman: Secret Origin, but the Batman book could go anywhere. Gordon could get killed on page three. Bruce could change his mind about crime-fighting and decide to open a petshop. If the petshop only sold bats we could even make the books name continue to be appropriate.
Nrama: Have you changed up your style for this? Is there a certain type of look you're going for with this project that might be a little different from what we've seen from you in the past?
Frank: I'm still working on that. I don't want to use Superman as a transition phase so I'm not trying out anything on paper yet. Obviously there will be more blacks and a general darker feel to a lot of it. I want to handle the public Bruce Wayne and the secret Bruce Wayne in two very distinct ways. I want people to see the public mask drop away as he exits a room full of people.
Also, the brutal, crazed world of Batman is a stark contrast to the world of Bruce Wayne with it's clinking glasses, Brioni suits and polo ponies.
Nrama: Since DC readers are already very familiar with your take on Superman, what would you say are the main differences between the character of Clark Kent/Superman and Bruce Wayne/Batman? And how is that difference reflected in the way you draw the characters?
Frank: Superman/Clark is open and relaxed most of the time. Sure he might be nervous occasionally but it's that same kind of nervous we all get. As Clark, he even acts more tense than he is.
Batman/Bruce, at least in his early days, is the opposite. He can fake relaxed but his core is always in roiling. I'd like to have him feel tightly-wound, very controlled because, underneath there is the rage. Don't forget that we aren't dealing with the seasoned crimefighter/detective here. This is a raw you man trying to fill a hole in his soul.
The young Clark was given wonderful parents and spends the rest of his life trying to say "thank you." Bruce is robbed of his family and decides that the criminal world is going to pay.
Frank: Anything else you want to tell DC readers about Batman: Earth One?
Frank: It's going to be printed upside-down.
Nrama: [laughs] Riiiight. Gary, I know we've talked about this before, but it's tough not to notice that, since you've been at DC, you've been working with Geoff Johns. What's been the attraction of working with Geoff time and again on DC characters?
Frank: For me, It's partly because he just knows his characters so well, so clearly that they feel so real. His stories are so warm even though horrible things take place in them sometimes. How often did you get the feeling when you read a Superman story that the writer actually liked Lois? And his stuff is just so much fun to read. Actual fun!!! Sorry, I know that's not always fashionable these days but I like stories that are fun.
The other thing, from a professional point of view, is that he is so creatively generous. He wants to hear what I think about things. If I have suggestions and ideas. Even when I find myself coming out with some half-baked nonsense, he'll put it graciously aside, and listen to what comes next. I don't know how many other artists would love to be included like that in the building of the story but I imagine it has to be a pretty high percentage. We pencillers spend more time working on the books than anyone else in the chain and that's a lot of time to chew stuff over. Sometimes things just come up and it's great, if some of those things are usable, to have the outlet.

Sadly though, Ebbw Vale and RGC will have to wait to see who progresses with tomorrow's match postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
Cardiff Met, Newbridge, Bridgend Athletic, Narberth and Tondu complete the rest of the Championship's representation with all five up against Principality Premiership opposition. Llanelli face a trip to Cardiff Arms Park to tackle Cardiff Met on Sunday afternoon while Newbridge play Cardiff at the same venue a day earlier. Bridgend Athletic travel to inform Carmarthen Quins, Narberth host Aberavon and Tondu welcome Llandovery as the Waterwheelers look for another upset.
The two other clashes are all Premiership affairs - Bedwas and Cross Keys meet for the second time in quick succession while Pontypridd and Newport has also sadly been postponed.
Keys were on the wrong end of a 22-12 score line on their last visit to the Bridge Field three weeks ago and are targeting an improved performance this weekend.
"Bedwas performed well against us when we met in the league recently and they thoroughly deserved to win," said Keys head coach Greg Woods.
"We need to be a lot better and stronger up front as I think the weather will have a big impact on the game.
"We were a lot better against Llanelli last Friday and it was pleasing to see us bounce back and get a good result against a good side. The challenge for us now is to put in another good performance, especially from the forwards. We are expecting a tight battle."
Bedwas forwards coach Ian Gardner said: "I think there will be extra spice to this game given the recent Bedwas win against Keys. We know they will be hurting from that loss, the challenge for us is to raise the bar even higher from our last game against them."
At the Lewis Lloyd Ground, two former Llanelli front row stalwarts go head-to-head. Narberth head coach Sean Gale spent a number of seasons playing alongside Aberavon boss Jason Hyatt but the firm friends will be putting pleasantries to one side tomorrow.
The Otters are fourth in the SWALEC Championship but know they are underdogs against the Wizards, who have been on a good run of late, bolstered by a raft of new signings.
"We've been going well in the league and only lost one game since October," said Gale. "The conditions are going to be a great leveller but we are hoping the game will go ahead as it's a big day for us in Pembrokeshire.
"Aberavon are the favourites but we're at home and anything can happen. It will be an interesting game, it's a good opportunity for us and we will certainly be giving it our all."
Elsewhere, the wet weather has hit fixtures in the SWALEC Plate and Bowl. A number of matches have fallen victim to the conditions but there are still 10 games which go ahead.

DU updates on injury, Clearinghouse, suspensions
I had another Wednesday doubleheader, going from Avalanche practice to the DU skate. Indeed, it was a great day for hockey. The Avs stuff is elsewhere. What I learned from DU today:
- Freshman defenseman Josiah Didier of Littleton is back skating after donning a foot boot last week after taking a shot off the limb. He's fine and will play in Friday's exhibition against the U.S. 18-under team.
- Freshman forward Zac Larraza still hasn't been stamped by the NCAA Clearinghouse. His 21-day grace period ended last Saturday and he hasn't been allowed to practice since. DU coach George Gwozdecky said his clearance is imminent.
- Freshman forward Matt Tabrum and junior forward Chris Knowlton are still in the doghouse. They didn't play in last Saturday's exhibition against McGill University and their suspensions will continue through Friday's game, Gwozdecky said.

My husband and I don't have any kids yet, so we haven't had to face the stressful question of where to send them to school. According to most the families I've talked to within our neighborhood, my top-choice for elementary school should be Travis, and if I can't get in there, Harvard should be my next choice.
It saddens me to look at other schools in our neighborhood, some of which wouldn't be at the top of my list.
It seems to me that those of us who are parents-to-be and parents-of-young-ones (and anyone else who cares about our neighborhood) should join forces to help the schools in our neighborhood become the kind of schools that are at the top of our list. We have beautiful neighborhood schools that have a lot of potential.
But where to start?
- Step One: Recruit a core group of people interested in helping our schools reach their potential (including administrators and teachers from the schools who want to be part of the process).
- Step Two: Solidify a vision of what an excellent school looks like, sounds like, and feels like. During the vision-setting stage, it would be helpful to observe at excellent schools in the area (both public and private).
- Step Three: Diagnostically assess where our schools currently are. This diagnostic process could take the form of observations, meetings with the administration and teachers, focus groups with families of currently-enrolled students, etc.
- Step Four: Generate a strategic action plan that delineates how to get our schools from where they currently are to where we want them to be.
- Step Five: Implement the plan, collect data about how it's going, and make adjustments as necessary. Schedule regular meetings to ensure that the action steps are being implemented and that the momentum is carried forth.
I started my new job this past Monday. I now teach in a Montessori classroom at Garden Oaks Elementary (1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders). Garden Oaks Elementary is a mere three miles from my house, and it's a unique school because it's a traditional HISD school that has a public Montessori program within it. As you may or may not know, Montessori is an approach to education that seeks to create autonomous, competent, respectful, critically-thinking, joyful children who identify and follow their passions in life. The approach has been around for more than a hundred years, although it is typically primarily available in a private school setting.
There are a few other public Montessori programs within HISD: Whidby Elementary and Dodson Elementary are similar to Garden Oaks. Wilson Elementary in Montrose is actually a full Montessori campus from pre-K through 8th grade.
Public Montessori in HISD exists due to the concerted efforts of concerned and committed families in collaboration with educators, administrators, and HISD. Over a decade ago, a group of families started an organization called Friends of Montessori. The non-profit group works tirelessly to advocate for Montessori options within the public school system and raise money to support all the public Montessori programs.
This particular organization has shown that community members and citizens can make a difference if they work with the school system and commit to making it happen. The same thing can be done in our neighborhood with our schools.
Is something like this already underway? I'd love to be part of it.

Whether driving cross-town or cross-country, everybody wants to save money at the pump. Regardless of the make and model, your car's estimated gas mileage is just that — an estimate. Here are some simple steps to help you get the most mileage out of your vehicle:
At the Pump
· Check your owner's manual for the most effective octane level for your car. For most cars, the recommended gasoline is regular octane. In most cases, using a higher octane gas* than the manufacturer recommends offers no benefit — and costs you at the pump. Some cars do require premium fuel, so before you fill up, check your owner's manual to find out if the higher-priced gas is required or just recommended.
· Shop around. Specialized phone apps and websites can help you find the cheapest gas prices in your area. Also, many gas stations advertise regular weekly specials at their locations.
On the Road
· Start driving as soon as the engine is started. Modern engines don't need much time to warm up. The engine actually warms up more quickly once the car is operating, and will stay warm after stopping.
· Don't speed. Gas mileage decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 miles per hour. According to Fueleconomy.gov*, each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional 24 cents per gallon for gas.
· Avoid unnecessary idling. It wastes fuel, costs you money, and pollutes the air. Turn off the engine if you anticipate a wait.
· Use overdrive gears and cruise control when appropriate. They improve fuel economy when you're driving on the highway.
· Minimize the need to brake by anticipating traffic conditions. Be alert for slow-downs and red lights. Anticipate bends and turns on familiar roads. Letting up on the gas often eliminates the need for braking.
· Use the air conditioner only when you absolutely need it. Air conditioning dramatically reduces fuel economy. Most air conditioners have an "economy" setting that allows the circulation of unchilled air. Many also have a "maximum" or "recirculation" setting that reduces the amount of hot outside air that must be chilled. Both settings can reduce the air conditioning load — and save gas.
· Combine errands. Several short trips taken from a cold start can use twice as much fuel as one trip covering the same distance when the engine is warm.
· Remove excess weight from the trunk. An extra 100 pounds in the trunk can reduce a typical car's fuel economy by up to two percent.
· Avoid packing items on top of your car. A loaded roof rack or carrier creates wind resistance and can decrease fuel economy by five percent.
At the Garage
· Keep your engine tuned. Tuning your engine according to your owner's manual can increase gas mileage by an average of four percent.
· Keep your tires properly inflated and aligned. It can increase gas mileage up to three percent, improve handling, and prolong the life of your tires. Check your owner's manual or the door jamb for the proper level of inflation (not the tire itself, which shows the maximum tire inflation pressure); check the tire pressure when the tires are cold, because internal pressure increases when the car has been on the road for a while and the tires heat up.
· Change your oil. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), you can improve your gas mileage by using the manufacturer's recommended grade of motor oil. Motor oil that says "Energy Conserving" on the performance symbol of the American Petroleum Institute contains friction-reducing additives that can improve fuel economy.
When Shopping
· Be skeptical about any gizmo that promises to improve your gas mileage. The EPA has tested supposed gas-saving devices — including "mixture enhancers" and fuel line magnets — and found that very few provided any fuel economy benefits. Those devices that did work provided only a slight improvement in gas mileage. In fact, some products may even damage your car's engine or cause a substantial increase in exhaust emissions.

A shoplifting suspect who identified himself as former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland managed to mislead law enforcement for nearly four weeks and will likely face additional charges after police discovered he had lied about his identity.
Beverly Hills Police arrested a man at a Rite Aid drugstore on the 400 block of North Bedford Drive on July 26 after receiving a call about shoplifting. He identified himself as Weiland and was taken into custody on drug possession and burglary charges.
Police discovered Thursday that the man was not the former Stone Temple Pilot through an FBI fingerprint return. The man was then identified as 44-year-old Jason Michael Hurley.
U.S. & World
Weiland posted a video on his Facebook page Thursday in response to an article he read on TMZ that day that said he had been in jail for weeks.
"I just got done reading something interesting. A nice piece of fiction from TMZ saying I was in jail and have been. I've actually been touring, writing and recording my new album," Weiland said.
Weiland told his fans not to worry and that the report was a lie.
"TMZ, you'll be hearing from my attorneys," Weiland said.
Police have requested that Hurley also be charged with furnishing false information to a peace officer.

More on Akron's Brady Baer setting state career scoring record
I'm back from Pueblo.
Sitting near the opposing team bench on the other end of the floor in CSU-Pueblo's Massari Arena earlier Thursday, I took the above picture with my cell phone just after Akron's Brady Baer released the three-point shot that in an instant would make him the state's all-time, all-classification leading scorer.
I wrote periodic updates for online as he neared the record during the game, then several stories quickly posted online in succession — one immediately after after he passed Buena Vista's Brian Wood to claim the record, one when the game ended, and yet another with quotes. Then I wrote this full story that starts on Page 1A of the Friday newspaper.

(Capacitive Touch)
Capacitive touch technology works by directly sensing the electrical properties of the human body.
Capacitive touch sensors can be embedded below specific points on a surface to create individual buttons, or over a large area, sensing the exact position of a finger on a display or other surface.
Capacitive touch sensors only respond to human flesh, so they generally do not work with a stylus or through a glove.
Unlike resistive technology, capacitive does not require pressure to activate; the lightest touch can trigger a capacitive sensor. In fact, actual contact is not always required. Some capacitive sensors are designed to work through one or more layers of other material and/or may be calibrated to respond even when a human finger is almost touching, but not quite.
Capacitive touch screens are generally considered more durable and reliable than resistive touch screens.

Contortions and distortions – The party conference currency
October 4, 2011 1 Comment
Conference season brings out the worst in British politics. No question about it. Bad jokes intended to tickle the faithful. Set piece speeches designed to rally them if they're flagging. All sprinkled with the odd soundbite designed to hit the news headlines in the mainstream media. We are offered question and answer sessions displaying differing degrees of robustness. Some appear genuinely challenging; some appear stuffed with planted questions from oleaginous party wannabes. Most of the material is delivered in a ponderous and uninspiring manner. The lack of gifted orators among the current generation of frontbench politicians is all too obvious.
But perhaps the most depressing aspect of conference season is how disconnected from reality it can all become. Hypocrisy is inevitable in politics. There are no doubt delicate diplomatic situations in which telling the unvarnished truth would be unwise or dangerous. But the industrial scale dissembling we witness at this time of year does little except bring politicians further into disrepute.
This is perhaps most evident at the current Conservative party conference. Read more of this post

IFAW Documents Unacceptable Cruelty During 2011 Seal Hunt
CORNERBROOK, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR – (Marketwire – April 13, 2011) –
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) is off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador documenting the commercial seal hunt, and on the opening day of the hunt filmed many apparent violations of the regulations.
"We have ample evidence that the three-step process to ensure humane killing is not being followed. Neither the test for unconsciousness, nor bleeding out to ensure death, is being conducted" said Sheryl Fink, Director of IFAW's Seal Program, "As a consequence, we filmed the horror of a live seal pup being sliced down the belly while likely still conscious, and tossed ruthlessly in the bottom of a boat. For several minutes, the pup makes what appear to be directed, conscious flipper waving and clenching movements as bodies of other seals are piled on top of it."
The three-step process stipulates that animals should be killed with a club, hakapik or rifle, tested to determine that the animals are unconscious and then bled to ensure death. Canada's Marine Mammal Regulations also require that a sealer retrieve either the pelt or carcass of animals killed during the commercial seal hunt.
"We have documented evidence of seal pups about three weeks of age being killed and left on the ice – skins intact – a clear violation of the law and an unethical and unacceptable waste of wildlife" said Fink.
"Where is the enforcement? Where is the monitoring?" demanded Fink, "When sealers flagrantly ignore the regulations when they are being filmed, I shudder to imagine what happens when no one is watching."
The Canadian government insists that the hunt is both humane and vital to the economy of local communities. IFAW repeatedly documents cases like these that clearly demonstrate that the commercial seal hunt is not humane and that the rules are frequently ignored. The group also points out that this year sealers are replacing seal hunting with more lucrative crab fishing, which demonstrates that the seal hunt industry can be easily replaced.
"There is absolutely no reason for this slaughter to continue. There is no money to be made, and one sealer was quoted as saying the hunt is now being conducted simply for 'sport'. The Government of Canada should admit that the seal hunt is cruel, that it is unnecessary, and they should end it immediately. What we have observed so far this year is simply unacceptable – there is no more room for excuses."
In addition to the fact that the commercial seal hunt is cruel and inhumane, it is also a waste of Canadian taxpayer dollars. The landed value of the 2010 commercial seal hunt was just over $1 million in 2010, yet the Canadian government spent an estimated $2.3 million to support it.

NEW YORK - A report by the staff of the Federal Communications Commission says AT&T Inc. and T-Mobile USA provided flawed information to justify AT&T's planned $39 billion acquisition of its smaller rival.
The report, released Tuesday, says the companies' application left open "material questions of fact." For instance, the staff did not see reason to believe AT&T's claims the merger would create jobs rather than eliminate them.
The FCC staff also rejected AT&T's assertion it would not have reason to build out its new wireless data network fully if it was not allowed to buy T-Mobile USA. They noted that AT&T competes with Verizon Wireless.
The report found the companies failed to show the deal was in the public interest, echoing conclusions by the Justice Department, which sued three months ago to stop the acquisition. The combination of the No. 2 and No. 4 cellphone companies in the country would reduce competition and likely lead to higher prices, they say.
"Competition is the engine of our free market economy and a cornerstone of the FCC's mandate," FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said in a statement.
"Our review of this merger has had a clear focus: fostering a competitive market that drives innovation, promotes investment, encourages job creation and protects consumers."
Genachowski last week moved to stop the deal by recommending the application be sent for review by a judge. That added another hurdle for AT&T. Analysts now believe the Dallas-based company has virtually no chance to get the deal approved.
On Thursday, the companies said they were withdrawing applications to the FCC regarding the merger to focus on their court battle with the Justice Department. The FCC formally allowed that Tuesday. The companies have said that they intend to resubmit their bid "as soon as practical."
AT&T's top lobbyist, Jim Cicconi, said the FCC's decision to release the report was "troubling."
"This report is not an order of the FCC and has never been voted on. It is simply a staff draft that raises questions of fact that were to be addressed in an administrative hearing, a hearing which will not now take place," he said. "It has no force or effect under law, which raises questions as to why the FCC would choose to release it."
In an order adopted Tuesday, the FCC's head of wireless telecommunications said the report was being released because the staff's work remains relevant, given the companies' pledge to resubmit the application later. Not releasing it, the order said, wouldn't be fair to businesses, public-interest groups and others that have invested time and resources on it.
Cicconi said AT&T had not had a chance to look at the report in order to rebut its claims.
T-Mobile USA, a subsidiary of Germany's Deutsche Telekom AG, had no immediate reaction to the report.
AT&T and T-Mobile announced the proposed deal in March.

Pope names commission of inquiry into Vatican bank
VATICAN CITY Pope Francis on Wednesday named a commission of inquiry to look into the activities of the troubled Vatican bank amid a new money-laundering investigation and continued questions about the secretive institution.
It was the second time in as many weeks that Francis has intervened to get to the bottom of the problems that have plagued the Institute for Religious Works for decades. On June 15, he filled a key vacancy in the bank's governing structure, tapping a trusted friend to be his eyes inside the bank with access to documentation, board meetings and management.
On Wednesday, he named a commission to investigate the bank's legal structure and activities "to allow for a better harmonization with the universal mission of the Apostolic See," according to the legal document that created it.
He named five people to the commission, including two Americans: Monsignor Peter Wells, a top official in the Vatican secretariat of state, and Mary Ann Glendon, a Harvard law professor, former U.S. ambassador to the Holy See and current president of a pontifical academy.
U.S. cardinals were among the most vocal in demanding a wholesale reform of the Vatican bureaucracy -- and the Vatican bank -- in the meetings running up to the March conclave that elected Francis pope. The demands were raised following revelations in leaked documents last year that told of dysfunction, petty turf wars and allegations of corruption in the Holy See's governance.
The commission is already at work. Its members have the authority to gather documents, data and information about the bank, even surpassing normal secrecy rules. The bank's administration continues to function as normal, as does the Vatican's new financial watchdog agency which has supervisory control over it.
The announcement came amid a new embarrassment for the Vatican in which prosecutors from the southern city of Salerno have placed a senior Vatican official under investigation for alleged money-laundering. The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, confirmed Wednesday that Monsignor Nunzio Scarano had been suspended temporarily from his position in one of the Vatican's key finance offices, the Administration for the Patrimony of the Apostolic See. Scarano has said he did nothing wrong.
The Vatican bank was founded in 1942 by Pope Pius XII to manage assets destined for religious or charitable works. Located in a tower just inside the gates of Vatican City, it also manages the pension system for the Vatican's thousands of employees.

text: Wellington - New Zealand has joined Australia in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in a case against Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean, Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully said on Friday.McCully said New Zealand would support Australia's case in the ICJ after diplomatic initiatives have failed to halt Japanese whaling in the region."New Zealand has worked hard with Japan for over three years to try and find a permanent solution to whaling in the Southern Ocean," he said in a statement."The government will continue to use all avenues possible to try to bring a halt to Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean."Australia filed a complaint against Japan at the ICJ in 2010, arguing that Japan was violating the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling by killing whales for research purposes. A decision is expected in 2013 or later.In December 2010, the New Zealand government decided in principle to intervene in the case. Intervention is a procedure that enables a non-party to the case to put its legal views before the court.Japan, Iceland and Norway are the only countries to engage in whale hunting. Japan introduced what it described as scientific whaling to skirt the commercial whaling ban under a 1986 moratorium and argues it has a right to monitor the whales' impact on its fishing industry.Anti-whaling activists regularly harass Japanese vessels in their annual whale hunt in the Southern Ocean off Australia and Antarctica, with the two sides sometimes clashing violently. At least one activist boat has sunk in recent years.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- American International Group said it will not join a lawsuit against the U.S. government over a $182 billion rescue shareholders said was unfair to the company.
AIG board members met Wednesday in New York to hear arguments for and against joining the lawsuit, brought by former Chief Executive Officer Maurice Greenberg, a major shareholder who filed suit in 2011, contending the bailout paid off creditors in full, leaving AIG with a loan with 14 percent interest, which required selling major assets to pay off.
News that the board was considering joining the suit -- as a time when AIG is running an ad campaign with the tag-line "Thank you, America," for the bailout -- touched off protest among the public and some elected officials. AIG board members said they were obliged to hear arguments on behalf of shareholders.
"Don't do it. Don't even think about it," said a letter signed by Democratic Reps. Peter Welch of Vermont, Michael Capuano of Massachusetts and Luis Gutierrez of Illinois, as the AIG board was to hear arguments.
"AIG became the poster company for Wall Street greed, fiscal mismanagement, and executive bonuses -- the taxpayer and economy be damned," the lawmakers' letter to AIG Chairman Robert Miller said. "Now, AIG apparently seeks to become the poster company for corporate ingratitude and chutzpah.
"Taxpayers are still furious that they rescued a company whose own conduct brought it down," the letter said. "Don't rub salt in the wounds with yet another reckless decision that is on par with the reckless decisions that led to the bailout in the first place."
After a meeting that lasted through the morning, the AIG board rejected joining the lawsuit and requested that Greenberg drop the legal action taken in the company name, The New York Times reported.
The lawsuit seeks $25 billion in damages. AIG's ad campaign notes that the government made a $22 billion profit from fees and interest paid for the bailout loan.
The lawsuit argues the bailout terms violated the Fifth Amendment, which protects against abuse of government authority, records cited by the Times and other news organizations indicate.
The alleged constitutional abuse the lawsuit focuses on is depriving shareholders of private property "without just compensation."
AIG fully repaid its $182 billion bailout only weeks ago.
The board meeting included a lengthy presentation from lawyers for Greenberg, arguing in favor of joining the lawsuit. They were to be followed by representatives of the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the bailout architects, arguing against the lawsuit, The Wall Street Journal said.
Before the meeting, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said in a statement, "Taxpayers across this country saved AIG from ruin, and it would be outrageous for this company to turn around and sue the federal government because they think the deal wasn't generous enough.
"Even today, the government provides an ongoing, stealth bailout, propping up AIG with special tax breaks -- tax breaks that Congress should stop. AIG should thank American taxpayers for their help, not bite the hand that fed them for helping them out in a crisis."
AIG CEO Robert Benmosche, who succeeded 87-year-old Greenberg, said in a news release the 12-member board had a fiduciary and legal responsibility to consider the lawsuit "in a fair, appropriate and timely manner."
He had said the board was expected to make a decision in "the next several weeks," but AIG put the furor to rest quickly.
"In considering and ultimately refusing the demand before us, the board of directors properly and fully executed our fiduciary and legal obligations to AIG and its shareholders," AIG Chairman Robert Miller said in a statement.

Today at Willowdale we celebrated our dear friend Sarah's new baby-on-the-way. Lots of fun was had by all and Sarah was truly surprised. I'll post photos tomorrow after I have a few minutes to sort through, but wanted to share about this fabulous, elegant and simple desert that Bennie Lightbody, Willowdale's Executive Chef extraordinaire, created for the shower.
Panna Cotta, which means cooked cream in Italian, is made by simmering cream, milk, and sugar with a very small amount of gelatin. The pudding is eaten all around Italy, but is thought to have originated in Piedmont. Bennie served the Panna Cotta with a coulis of mixed berries along with the whole fruit. Pure Heaven!

Hey folks, how are you all doing today? It's Thursday which means tomorrow is Friday and with the new day tomorrow we will be ever more closer to Christmas. Instead of uploading a holiday related lesson, I thought I would just fill some requests. So to start, we will be learning "how to draw Gumi", step by step. Now she is just a mascot type of character for the Vocaloid series. Gumi is a very simple, but pretty girl that is voiced by Megumi Nakajima. Since her design is simple, drawing Gumi is going to be easy enough for anyone to try. Of course, if you are brand new to drawing you might have some difficulty, but not much. Well I guess that's all I can say since this is not actually a character. I will return with more fun so be sure to stay tuned in. Peace out folks.

Former Member of Parliament for Asikuma Odobeng Brakwa, Paul Collins Appiah Ofori has backed calls for the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo to lead the party in the 2016 general elections.
He said Nana Addo "should not dream of retiring from politics [because] he is the man Ghanaians are yearning for in 2016".
Appiah Ofori was speaking on Asempa FMs Ekosii Sen programme Tuesday.
Akufo-Addo who is on a political break after conceding defeat in the just ended Presidential Election Petition has said he would announce his future political plans later.
Even before Nana announces his political plans, some leading members in the NPP led by General Secretary, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie are already rooting for his candidature. Sir John as he is popularly called maintains that Nana Akufo-Addo will be Ghanas president in 2016.
However, some political pundits are of the view that the NPP will be in perpetual opposition if Nana Addo who turns 72 in 2016 becomes flagbearer.
They argue that Nana Addo who lost to the late John Atta Mills and President John Mahama in 2008 and 2012 elections respectively cannot deliver victory for the party.
But PC Appiah Ofori on Ekosii Sen said it is "senseless" for anyone to argue that Nana Akufo-Addo will be too old for the presidency in 2016.
According to him, if 90-year-old Robert Mugabe is president of Zimbabwe, why not Akufo-Addo who would be only 72 in 2016.
The former Asikuma Odobeng Brakwa MP noted that but for the corruption at the Electoral Commission in 2012, Nana would have been president and thus cannot be said to be a "bad luck" for the NPP.
He observed that it will be politically suicidal for the NPP to change a winning team.
PC Appiah Ofori added that if the NPP wishes to make Akufo-Addo its presidential candidate in 2016, he [Nana] has no other choice than to accept.
"Nana is a winnable candidate and I am convinced he stands a great chance of winning in 2016. He will get more sympathy votes in 2016 and I will support him".
What's wrong with Robert? Think nothing.

BALTIMORE – UMBC senior setter Mallory McIntyre (Winnipeg, Manitoba/St. Mary's Academy) set her season-high by dishing out 58 assists as the Retrievers fed off of their six seniors to defeat America East rival Albany in five sets (19-25, 25-21, 25-23, 18-25, 15-10), Sunday afternoon on Senior Day at the RAC Arena.
McIntyre also scooped up 12 digs for UMBC (16-9, 7-3 AE) to record her eighth double-double of season while classmate Ali Goc (Oshawa, Ontario/R.S. McLaughlin) registered her team-best 13th double-double with 15 kills and 23 digs. Junior Hannah Schmidt (Catonsville, Md./Mount de Sales), meanwhile, gave the Retrievers a fifth straight double-double by sending down 13 winners and picking up 13 digs.
Despite getting out hit (.204-.152), out dug (104-89), and out blocked (15.0-9.0), UMBC won the big points to remain in a second-place tie with Stony Brook behind conference-leader New Hampshire, and move a game ahead of Albany (6-17, 6-4 AE).
Sophomore Krystal Mlemchukwu (Baltimore, Md./Western Tech) matched Goc with 15 put-aways for the Black and Gold while senior Hallie Carter (Huntington Beach, Calif./Edison) and freshman Casey Griffith (King of Prussia, Pa./Upper Merion) combined for 38 digs.
Amy Hunter led all hitters with 17 kills while Amanda Dolan added 15 winners for Albany. Samantha Brostrom (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) earned a double-double for the Great Danes by slamming 12 kills and picking up 19 digs.
UMBC started slowly in the opening set, dropping the first four points, but sprung to life as a kill by sophomore Sherelle Walker (New Freedom, Pa./Susquehannock) sparked a 7-0 run. Griffith recorded her third kill of the season during the stretch and added a service ace. The visitors held tight throughout the set and then trailing by two, 17-15, ran off four straight to take the lead, 19-17. Schmidt pulled UMBC back within one at 19-18, but the Great Danes continued the run to win the opening frame, 25-19.
The Retrievers came out battling in the second set as the hosts looked to pull even. After a McIntyre service ace and an Albany attack error, the hosts built a three-point lead, 5-2, and maintained the lead until the Danes cut it to one on a block. Three straight Retrievers points, courtesy of two kills from Walker and one from Goc, restored the lead and UMBC held off a late charge by the visitors to level the match at a set apiece with a 25-21 set win.
The pivotal third set proved to be the closest of them all as the two squads exchanged the lead only twice but were knotted on seven occasions. After the teams traded runs to open the set, Schmidt brought the Retrievers back on terms with a kill assisted by McIntyre. Albany responded by claiming five of the next six and looked on their way with a 20-16 lead. Goc then powered down a kill and sparked the hosts as they took the lead 23-21. The teams were tied for the final time at 23-23, but Mlemchukwu and Schmidt struck with winners to give UMBC the set win, 25-23.
In the fourth set, the teams battled back and forth, but then Albany ran off a 9-0 streak for a 16-9 lead. The Great Danes rolled from there, outhitting the Retrievers .343-.048 in the set, and forcing a fifth set by claiming the fourth, 25-18.
The Retrievers came out strong in the fifth, staking to a 5-1 lead on a Great Dane attack error. Albany won two of the next three points to pull within three, 6-3, but the Retrievers never let them get any closer. Four straight UMBC points put the hosts up 10-3 and they salted it away from there, taking the match on a block by Schmidt and Witsaman.
UMBC now closes out the 2013 regular season with four consecutive road matches. The Retrievers travel next weekend to New Hampshire and UMass Lowell before facing Providence and Hartford on the last weekend of the season.
Dawg Bites
- After going 1-18 in their first 19 America East conference contests against Albany, UMBC has now won the last three matches versus the Great Danes.
- Mlemchukwu recorded 36 kills in the two matches this season against the Great Danes.
- Carter registered a season-best 21 digs in the contest.

Veterinarian Reviewed on January 9, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Dimethicone is classified as a silicone based polymer and is used mainly in cosmetics and in skin care products. These polymers were manufactured with silicon as the main element combining it with oxygen, hydrogen and carbon creating a chemical compound.
Dimethicone can also be called Amodimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone and Behenoxy Dimethicone. This chemical has many qualities that benefit the skin care industry; it is an effective anti-foaming agent, skin protectant and a hair conditioning agent as well.
History and Origin
Dimethicone is just one of the polymers derived from its mother element, silicon or silica. Silicon dioxide occurs naturally and scientists have made great breakthrough in combining silica with other natural elements like carbon, oxygen and hydrogen to form a polymer. Dimethicone is based on silicone. There are also more polymers made based on Dimethicone that are also used in many industries all around the world.
Ancient Uses
The use of Dimethicone was nonexistent during ancient times and the discovery of Silicon was made in 1824 by Jons Jacob Berzelius, a Swedish chemist. There were other noteworthy elements used during ancient times however such as gold, silver, copper, iron and lead.
Modern Uses
In modern times, Dimethicone was discovered as an effective polymer in personal care products. Hair care is just one of the many uses of Dimethicone and it is also an active ingredient in lice treatment shampoos. It is great in bringing back the shine, volume and life to tangled and dry hair. Many shampoos for dull hair also contain Dimethicone.
Moisturizing lotions also have Dimethicone as a main ingredient. It increases skin moisture and relives common skin conditions such as itching and dryness effectively. There are also mild creams for infants that contain Dimethicone and which are used to relive diaper rash, sores and ease itching. In the cosmetics industry, Dimethicone is also used in eye makeup, blush, concealers, foundation and many other kinds of makeup.
Side Effects
Although found to be safe under certain conditions, Dimethicone is classified as safe by the US Food and Drug Administration. It is however advised for pregnant and breastfeeding women to consult their doctors in the use of skin care products and make up with Dimethicone as active ingredient.
There are several cases where consumers who have used makeup and skin care products with Dimethicone suffered from mild side effects like itching and stinging on the applied area. It is best therefore to do a patch skin test for any make up or skin care product with Dimethicone before use. Apply a small sample of the product on the inner sides of your forearm and watch for any redness, itchiness or swelling that may occur.
In case any untoward skin reactions occur upon use, discontinue product immediately and seek medical help at once.
There are also severe cases of allergic reaction with Dimethicone that causes respiratory problems, the appearance of hives on skin and face swelling. Consult medical help at once for these symptoms.
Never use makeup and skin care products with Dimethicone on skin with open wounds and on highly irritated skin.

How Can I Pay?
Options facilitates the payment process by providing a choice of payment methods for your convenience
- We invoice for our services every two weeks in arrears.
- We do not require a down payment
- We do not require a deposit
- We do not require advance payment
- We trust you will pay your bill on time
- We can mail, e-mail or fax the invoice directly to the client, their family, a Power of attorney, a trusted advisor or long-term care insurance company.
- Our invoices are detailed with the dates and times of service provided each day
Most of our clients are "private pay" which means they submit payment directly to us each period.
Our standard method of payment is by way of an electronic funds transfer (EFT). This payment method simplifies the process in that it ensures that interest charges are avoided, as well as late payments and termination notices. Additionally, it saves you, our client, time and postage costs, and ensures that your invoices are always paid in a timely manner.
Many clients believe that Medicare, Medicaid and most employer-sponsored HMO and PPO plans will pay for home care services. The reality is that these plans only reimburse you for intermittent visits from a home care nurse on a temporary basis and only when your loved one has a specific qualifying medical diagnosis. In general, these types of insurance policies are not designed to pay for ongoing, hourly care giving services that are classified as "Long-Term Care."
On the other hand, there are many other financial resources available in order to pay for ongoing care services. To name a few:
- Long-term care insurance
- Reverse mortgages
- Employer-sponsored Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
- Employee-sponsored care giving stipends, such as "Back-Up Care" programs for employees who are adult caregivers and travel for work
- Family trust funds
- Workers' compensation insurance
- Catastrophic auto insurance
- State-subsidized home- and community-based services, often referred to as "Medical Waiver" programs. (Age and income qualifications do apply.)
Since its inception in 1989, Options has participated with Long-Term Care insurance companies and various state and local programs. Today Options enjoys a close relationship with a number of insurance companies who use us as one of their Preferred Providers.
If you have a long term care insurance plan, Options trained personnel will verify benefits on your behalf, free of charge and without any commitment on your behalf. You may contact us for a detailed explanation of how we work with these companies to verify your benefits.
If your loved one is a U.S. veteran, we may be able to help them get benefits for home care from the U.S. Veterans Administration. For detailed additional information, you may visit our special section on Veterans Affairs.

- facility location (3) (remove)
Faculty / Organisational entity
- Fraunhofer (ITWM) (3) (remove)
The objective of this paper is to bridge the gap between location theory and practice. To meet this objective focus is given to the development of software capable of addressing the different needs of a wide group of users. There is a very active community on location theory encompassing many research fields such as operations research, computer science, mathematics, engineering, geography, economics and marketing. As a result, people working on facility location problems have a very diverse background and also different needs regarding the software to solve these problems. For those interested in non-commercial applications (e. g. students and researchers), the library of location algorithms (LoLA can be of considerable assistance. LoLA contains a collection of efficient algorithms for solving planar, network and discrete facility location problems. In this paper, a detailed description of the functionality of LoLA is presented. In the fields of geography and marketing, for instance, solving facility location problems requires using large amounts of demographic data. Hence, members of these groups (e. g. urban planners and sales managers) often work with geographical information too s. To address the specific needs of these users, LoLA was inked to a geographical information system (GIS) and the details of the combined functionality are described in the paper. Finally, there is a wide group of practitioners who need to solve large problems and require special purpose software with a good data interface. Many of such users can be found, for example, in the area of supply chain management (SCM). Logistics activities involved in strategic SCM include, among others, facility location planning. In this paper, the development of a commercial location software tool is also described. The too is embedded in the Advanced Planner and Optimizer SCM software developed by SAP AG, Walldorf, Germany. The paper ends with some conclusions and an outlook to future activities.
We examine the feasibility polyhedron of the uncapacitated hub location problem (UHL) with multiple allocation, which has applications in the fields of air passenger and cargo transportation, telecommunication and postal delivery services. In particular we determine the dimension and derive some classes of facets of this polyhedron. We develop some general rules about lifting facets from the uncapacitated facility location (UFL) for UHL and projecting facets from UHL to UFL. By applying these rules we get a new class of facets for UHL which dominates the inequalities in the original formulation. Thus we get a new formulation of UHL whose constraints are all facet–defining. We show its superior computational performance by benchmarking it on a well known data set.
Given a public transportation system represented by its stops and direct connections between stops, we consider two problems dealing with the prices for the customers: The fare problem in which subsets of stops are already aggregated to zones and "good" tariffs have to be found in the existing zone system. Closed form solutions for the fare problem are presented for three objective functions. In the zone problem the design of the zones is part of the problem. This problem is NP hard and we therefore propose three heuristics which prove to be very successful in the redesign of one of Germany's transportation systems

If you're nuts for a nut lover, this is the Valentine's day cookie to make them. These honey nut Valentine's Day cookies are super simple to make – they have only three ingredients (an assortment of nuts and seeds, honey, and a couple of egg whites to help hold it all together in a chewy granola bar sort of way) – and they are gluten-free! The best thing about these cookies is that you can use whatever nuts your Valentine loves. Does your hubby crave cashews? Use them! Does your child pine for peanuts? They'll work too!
Honey Nut Valentine's Day Cookie Recipe
|Cookies about to go in the oven.
Easy Honey Nut Valentine's Day Cookies (Gluten-Free)
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 cups assorted nuts and seeds You can use any kinds that you like. I used equal amounts of pecans, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, and walnuts.
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- In a medium-sized, bowl, whisk together the eggs whites and honey.
- Coarsely chop the nuts and seeds.
- Mix the nuts and seeds into the egg whites and honey until well-combined.
- Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.
- Place a heart-shaped cookie cutter (or any shape you like) onto the Silpat or parchment paper and fill it halfway with the nut and seed mixture. Use your hand to pack the mixture into the cookie cutter so it looks like the photo above. Carefully lift the cookie cutter. The mixture should retain the shape of the cookie cutter. (If you prefer, you can scoop out small balls instead of using a cookie cutter.)
- Repeat until you have used all of the nut and seed mixture.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the cookies just start to brown on the edges.
Coming Soon
You know there's a cupcake coming soon! Honey nut Valentine's Day cupcakes are coming soon!
