A couple of weeks ago, the state of California sent cease-and-desist letters to 13 genetic-testing companies asking them to stop directly marketing their tests to consumers.
Since then, debate has raged in the blogosphere about whether the health department should have engaged in such regulatory action. But what if health department officials don't see their action as a choice, but rather as dictated by the current (correct or incorrect) state law?
A look at the clinical laboratory regulations in California law does seem to support the idea that the health department has a case that its actions were required by law. And given that the agency's clinical laboratory oversight is currently in the midst of a statutory state audit, it might not be in a position to play softball with a widely publicized industry that's in a murky legal place.
The department is claiming jurisdiction over genetic tests because they say they constitute a "clinical laboratory test." The state's Business and Profession Code provides this long and hairy definition for such a test (1206.A.4):
"Clinical laboratory test or examination" means the detection, identification, measurement, evaluation, correlation, monitoring, and reporting of any particular analyte, entity, or substance within a biological specimen for the purpose of obtaining scientific data which may be used as an aid to ascertain the presence, progress, and source of a disease or physiological condition in a human being, or used as an aid in the prevention, prognosis, monitoring, or treatment of a physiological or pathological condition in a human being, or for the performance of nondiagnostic tests for assessing the health of an individual.
Simplifying, one can say that a regulated lab test is composed of four parts: 1) a biological specimen from a human 2) containing some substance (say, DNA
or white blood cells) that 3) is measured 4) to give information about a human's disease-state or health.
Any test that fits this definition must be ordered by a doctor, just like a prescription drug, so offering them online – without a doctor's involvement – would be considered illegal.
Checking genetic tests against the first three parts of this very broad definition, it's not difficult to see why California's public health department feels that it can (and should) regulate genetic testing:
1) spit, a biological specimen, is collected
2) spit contains DNA
3) genetic testing companies measure and analyze the DNA against known genetic variations
The real question, then, is only on the final component: Do genetic testing companies provide information that could be construed as aiding the prevention of a disease?
Is providing a personalized genetic risk assessment based on scientifically published genetic correlation studies an aid to the prevention of, say, colon cancer?
23andMe, for example, has argued that the testing they provide isn't a prevention aid, but merely offers "individuals contextual information about their genetic makeup, including ancestry and applicable scientific research."
Whether or not 23andMe will ultimately be able to wiggle away from regulation with this article remains to be seen. If they can, they'd find themselves with a much easier time going direct to consumers than other companies.
For example, Navigenics' website promises that the company provides "analysis of your predisposition for a variety of common conditions, and the information, support and guidance to know what steps you can take to prevent, detect or diagnose them early."
Given that description, it would be difficult for the company to argue that its tests shouldn't be regulated as clinical laboratory tests. And indeed, the company seems to have planned to be subject to the clinical laboratory test regulations. That said, the company's CEO expressed surprise to Wired.com at the aggressiveness of the California regulation. Navigenics is currently in the midst of preparing their response to the health department's cease-and-desist letter.
One intriguing legal possibility is that one or more of the companies could sue to have the lab regulation's application to genetic testing struck down. Thomas Goetz argued on these virtual pages, "My DNA is my data," and it would be a fascinating case to see if the state's court system would agree.
We haven't heard of any direct precedent to guide the courts, but it's possible that the right to privacy, which guarantees a woman's right to choose, could be applied to the genetic testing realm. The argument would be that if it's inside your body – be it a baby or DNA – the decisions relating to it are yours alone to make, without the interference of the state.
A less interesting, but perhaps faster and more effective option for the genetic testing industry would be to lobby the California legislature to turn some subset of genetic tests into explicitly over-the-counter tests like those for pregnancy or paternity.

Thursday, August 6, 2015THE TRANSFIGURATION
The Tranfiguration is remembered each year not only on (or near) August 6, but also on the Last Sunday after the Epiphany, the season of Epiphany being a time when we travel alongside the disciples as they come to know Jesus of Nazareth as Christ, the Messiah.
At Saint Thomas, there have been many sermons over the years which are helpful in understanding this miraculous event. Among them are these.
O God, who on the holy mount didst reveal to chosen witnesses thy well-beloved Son, wonderfully transfigured, in raiment white and glistening: Mercifully grant that we, being delivered from the disquietude of this world, may by faith behold the King in his beauty; who with thee, O Father, and thee, O Holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth, one God, world without end. Amen.

If you take some time to learn child-rearing skills, you will have a lot of fun. This article can help you make your job easier by focusing your efforts on positive strategies that will allow you to bond with your child.
After clearing space on the counter, let your child lie on a towel while you allow water from the kitchen faucet to run over the scalp and hair. This can make hair washing fun and reduce the fear of getting water in his eyes or poured over him.
If you are away from home with a young child, try to retain their eating and sleeping routines if you can. Small children and infants are often stressed out by traveling. Familiar bedtime routines can help him or her feel a little more comforted and secure in a new place. This will also aid in restful sleep for everyone!
A young child should never drink soda. Provide your child with healthy drinks, such as milk, diluted fruit juices or plain water.
If there are children living under your roof, avoid smoking indoors. Actually, consider quitting altogether. Breathing secondhand smoke can be just as harmful as smoking. Children who are exposed to second-hand smoke experience more risk in developing respiratory problems, such as asthma, bronchitis or pneumonia.
Creating family rules using clear and positive words can reduce fighting and encourage cooperation. Saying "Touch gently" gets better results than "No hitting" does.
When you are traveling, bring those items that are seen as comfort to your toddler or young child. A fun family vacation is still a disruption to your little one's every day routine. Your toddler will adjust more easily to the new place with the help of their favorite toy or a cuddly blanket.
As you have learned from the advice in this article, knowing how to parent well can make a great difference in making being a parent less of a chore and more of a joy. Using the knowledge that other, more experienced parents have already gained can help you parent your own child with more success. Try this advice out today!

The Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces is responsible for:
1) Polish Armed Forces strategic deployment planning;
2) Polish Armed Forces long-term development programming;
3) supervising general and operational activities of the Polish Armed Forces, particularly including operational planning, mobilization and combat readiness, training as well as organizational and technical development;
4) representing the Polish Armed Forces in key politico-military collegial bodies of the international organizations the Republic of Poland belongs to;
5) advising the Minister of National Defence on both general and operational activities of the Polish Armed Forces;
6) planning the preparation of the Ministry of National Defence for functioning at command posts when a threat to national security occurs or during war;
7) preparing and maintaining command posts where reserve command posts for national defence are envisaged for the President of the Republic of Poland, the Prime Minister and ministers as well as central government administration bodies designated by the Prime Minister.
Website of General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces: http://www.en.sgwp.wp.mil.pl
From the Regaining of Independence Until the End of World War II (1918 – 1945)
The General Staff (formerly The Main Staff) of the Polish Armed Forces, which was responsible for organising the Polish military since the country regained its independence, was established by the "Order of the Regent Council of the Polish Kingdom" on 25 October 1918. General Sir Tadeusz JORDAN ROZWADOWSKI was appointed the first Chief of the General Staff. Initially, the GS was the main body tasked with conducting operational planning and commanding the newly formed armed forces. Since 6 November 1918 the General Staff was divided into branches and its area of responsibility encompassed organisation, mobilisation, intelligence, military geography, training of staffs and troops as well as scientific and legal matters. Since 10 March 1918 the General Staff was incorporated into the structure of the Supreme Command of the Polish Armed Forces and assigned the role of supporting the Supreme Commander in conducting military activities. In practice it meant war planning and materiel supply for the combat units. During the defensive war against the Red Army invasion in 1920, the General Staff focused on identifying the enemy's intents and participation in conducting military operations, supplying materiel to the frontline units and developing coherent principles of the art of war. The years 1921-1926 marked the prime of the General Staff's functioning during the inter-war period as a major player in the national security system and the central military institution responsible for command and preparations for wartime contingency. The presidential order (inspired by Marshal Piłsudski) as of 6 August 1926 excluded the GS from the structure of the Ministry of Military Affairs and subordinated it to the Inspector General of the Polish Armed Forces. Thus the GS lost its influence on current military matters and functioned only as a planning body for potential wartime, during which it was to be transformed into the Supreme Staff. On 28 December 1928 the General Staff was renamed the Main Staff. In the 1930s the Main Staff worked on the preparation and implementation of the Polish Armed Forces modernisation and development plan, as its prerogative in the field of organisation and mobilisation was re-established. Its efforts focused on national defence in terms of organisation and mobilisation. In September 1939 the Main Staff was transformed into the Supreme Commander's Staff. Its area of responsibility was similar to the one from 1919-1921, although its practical activities were heavily limited by the quick pace of war developments. Its functioning ceased with the Polish troops crossing the Romanian border and their internment. Once the Polish Government had been formed in France in October 1939, General Władysław Sikorski established the Supreme Commander's Staff which continued its operations after the moving of the Government to Great Britain. The National Council Order dated 8 September 1944 established the Main Staff of the Polish Armed Forces Supreme Commander. In the second half of 1945 it was converted into the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces (PAF).
Cold War and Present Activities of the General Staff (1945-2008)
Once the war activities had ceased, the General Staff was faced with a new mission. Its basic tasks included: downsizing of the armed forces and their transition to a peacetime military, relocation of troops, organisation of a new command and control system, organisation of military training and supply systems, repair of war ravages, securing national borders and national security. Already in 1948-1949 the General Staff took a dominant position in directing the national defence system. It was assigned the role of the Minister's of National Defence main command body. Its responsibilities included the conduct of national defence planning, co-ordination of ministries and central institutions concerned with defence issues, control of combat capability and readiness and co-ordination of cooperation with the allied armies. The 1955-1965 Polish Armed Forces Development Plan envisaged the establishment of National Territorial Defence Forces which later on became an important part of the PAF. As a result of Poland's limited sovereignty and the assigned role of the military to act within the country, the GS could not escape the tragic events of 1956, 1968, 1970 and 1980-1983. In the whole post-war period the General Staff directed the organisational and technical development of the armed forces, placing special emphasis on mobility, armour and wider use of rocket technology. The post-war period brought the wave of Stalinist purges. Out of 19 officers who lost their lives after trials based on false charges and atrocious verdicts in 1955–1960, six served in the General Staff. In 1957–1965 the General Staff gained additional authority in regard to other central institutions of the MoND. This resulted from its exercise of broad functions ranging from setting up of strategic-operational guidelines for national defence to operational planning and international military cooperation. The period of 1966–1980 brought major structural changes. Organisational dispersion was eliminated, which increased operability and effectiveness. Organisation into directorates improved the work of the General Staff and the whole MoND. In the 1970s and 1980s the GS remained the only central body responsible for wartime operational planning and co-ordination of strategic-defence planning of non-military national defence. It was also the principal institution securing cooperation with the Warsaw Pact Armed Forces Staff and commands of the allied armies. Political transformation started in 1989 and the end of the Cold War introduced a major breakthrough in the GS activities. 1990–1993 marked the search of new doctrinal and organisational solutions adjusted to a new global security environment and defence system of a democratic state. The priorities of the GS activities in 1994–1999 included the participation of the PAF in the Partnership for Peace Programme and striving for interoperability and compatibility with NATO. Since 1999 the GS and the MoND have been preoccupied with systematic work on complying with NATO goals and standards as well as continuous and multifaceted transformation of the Polish Armed Forces.

Rep. Meehan: Working to Reduce Stigma, Provide Services for Veteran PTSD
Congressman Marty Meehan (D-MA), a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, writes an important guest column in the Framingham, MA MetroWest Daily News today. He explains how the current post-deployment mental health screening and counseling programs are flawed -- and how legislation he is helping to craft aims to remedy many of the serious problems which result. Click on 'Article Link' below tags to read more...
In the interest of PSTD education, I am quoting the column in its entirety, adding links to provide access to related information at your fingertips:
On the third anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, it is important to reflect on the lessons learned and where to go from here. Many mistakes have been made, from poor prewar planning to a failed postwar reconstruction policy. Often overlooked, and just as alarming, are the inadequate resources available to help service members cope with their emotional and psychological scars when they return home. Post-war planning does not stop at Iraq's border. We must provide the support our service members need to re-enter civilian life when they return stateside.
The current system is fundamentally flawed: it neither pays adequate attention to veterans suffering from mental health disorders nor dedicates sufficient resources to diagnosing and assisting them. A July 2004 New England Journal of Medicine study found that one in five of our troops involved in ground combat in Iraq suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), symptoms of which include major depression and generalized anxiety.
Even more troubling is that service members at a significant risk of mental health problems have often resisted seeking help because of the stigma associated with treatment. Among returning service members, only between 23 percent and 40 percent of those who tested positive for a mental health disorder sought professional help. This alarming statistic illustrates the need to educate our soldiers on this issue, and to end the stigma surrounding a legitimate illness.
The war in Iraq is the bloodiest in a generation, with urban and close quarter combat that is bound to leave lasting emotional scars. The reality is, the longer we fight the war in Iraq, the more troops will return suffering from PTSD. Working to address PTSD continues to be one of my top priorities in Congress.
In the 2006 National Defense Authorization Act, I worked with my colleagues on the Armed Services Committee to include a Mental Health Task Force that will study how the Defense Department and the Armed Services can better identify, treat, and support mental health needs for service members and their families. While this is a good first step, we must dramatically increase the amount of funding for PTSD screening and treatment to adequately assess and care for the emotional wounds of our returning service members. It's unconscionable to send our brave young men and women into Iraq and then not try to make them whole -- mentally as well as physically - when they come home.
Last spring I introduced the Help Extend Respect Owed to Every Soldier (H.E.R.O.E.S.) Act, which would create a peer support program to educate military personnel about PTSD. It would also create a Defense Department mass media campaign to raise awareness about mental health and substance disorders among service members and their families. This program, which was endorsed by Dr. William Winkenwerder, Jr., assistant secretary of defense for Health Affairs at the Department of Defense, will help remove the stigma and encourage people to seek treatment.
The H.E.R.O.E.S. Act also requires that service members undergo a thorough mental and physical examination before being sent home. The current mental health screening is just a form to be filled out, not a real exam. If an examination reveals the need for treatment, it would be provided when the service member is back with his or her family, so returning troops don't need to be concerned that revealing symptoms during an examination would delay their reunions with their loved ones. By reducing the stigma of PTSD, screening soldiers for the illness, and providing treatment for those affected by the illness, the H.E.R.O.E.S. Act will help thousands of returning soldiers win their final battle in this war.
President Theodore Roosevelt once said that anyone "good enough to shed his blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards." We have a responsibility to the brave men and women returning from Iraq to provide them with the care and services they rightly deserve.
If you support this work, contact Rep. Meehan and let him know you have his back, and contact your own representatives to ask them to support the above legislation. And if you wish to thank the MetroWest Daily News for running this important public service column, I think they'd appreciate hearing from you.
Finally, take a look at which other legislators are working tirelessly on behalf of our returning combat veterans.

Wyoming Capitol dome to be covered for repair until mid-2019/
CHEYENNE, WYO - Needing repair and replacement of failing materials, the Wyoming Capitol dome will be covered with scaffolding and a white scaffold covering until mid-2019 as part of the ongoing renovation work on the Capitol.
The dome scaffolding will start to be installed the week of September 11. The scaffolding installation will take between eight and ten weeks and will cover the dome and the drum (the area just below the dome). Once the scaffolding installation is complete, the scaffolding will be covered with a white covering to help facilitate the repairs and improve safety.
The area that will be covered consists of the gold-leafed dome, lantern, drum, and base. Hands-on investigations of the entire structure have documented punctures, tears, dents, failed seams, corrosion, paint coating failure, significant water leakage, and many missing and loose elements. The damage is mainly from hail and 129 years of life and weather deterioration. Without the repairs, the life expectancy of the dome would be another 15 years.
Extensive work will include replacement and repair of the existing decorative sheet metal, repainting, roof repair, and re-gilding of the dome. The repairs will extend the life expectancy of the dome by over 75 years.
Follow the progress of dome repairs via Facebook and Instagram.
At some locations where there is paint loss, surface corrosion of the galvanized sheet metal was discovered.
About the Capitol Dome
The first phase of the Capitol, completed in 1888, was topped with a copper dome designed in the spirit of the U.S. Capitol dome in Washington, D.C. Later, the gold leaf was applied at specific locations to create contrast and achieve the aesthetic effect of a beacon shining over the skyline of Cheyenne. The dome of the Capitol is 50 feet in diameter at the base, and the peak stands 146 feet above the ground. The 24-carat gold leaf on the dome was added on top of the original copper in 1900 to prevent tarnishing (and it has been retouched five times since). Today the Capitol dome structure consists of a sheet copper dome, which is covered in gold leaf, and galvanized sheet metal lantern and drum.

get your art on.
this be part II of this post. My first official job was at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. I was 16 years old and my art teacher in High School recommended me for the paid internship and I was lucky enough to get it. I took the bus from Little Village into downtown every Saturday morning for 2 years and got to work with so man amazing artists! My artistic appetite grew more each session as I worked alongside many artists assisting in their youth classes (collage class, painting classes, theater classes, architecture classes, dance, music & more) and...

5. Snack on cookies and milk
The tryptophan in milk will help you feel sleepy, but you need some carbs to get it where you want it to go in your brain, says Mary Susan Esther, MD. Cookies are her carb of choice. Just make sure to choose a low-fat variety and eat them in moderation.

All Star Break MLB Report Cards
The Major-League Baseball All-Star Game is here on Tuesday night from Washington D.C. (you might have heard!) - and so that means it's time for our annual Report Card Grades for the unofficial first half of this 2018 season.
Grade: A+
MILWAUKEE (55-39) - The Brew Crew has yet to take its foot off the gas pedal this year while staying just above the archrival Chicago Cubs in the NL Central race for first place. You can thank manager Craig Counsell - right now the leader in terms of NL Manager of the Year honors - for making lots of savvy moves and for adroitly utilizing his bench/bullpen and how about a round of applause for 1B Jesus Aguilar (23 HR, 67 RBI, .307 average - all team highs) who finally landed on the All-Star roster.
ATLANTA (51-40) - The "over" wins projection for this here-and-now Braves team was 75.5 back in spring training and so this NL East crew figures to smash that mark sometime in the month of August. No doubt the infusion of young every-day talent - read 2B Ozzie Albies and OF Ronald Acuna to go along with current NL batting average leader Nick Markakis (.322) - has been a boon for the Braves who are making things happen with an average pitching staff that ranks eighth in the league in team ERA.
Grade: A
PHILADELPHIA (52-40) - Consider that the Phillies had one of the weirdest starts to a season (see opening day meltdown by rookie manager Gabe Kapler, etc.) and still they're double-digit games over the .500 mark and they really have not gotten all that much from free-agent/big-bucks RHP Jake Arrieta ... maybe it's time folks tossed some bouquets Kapler's way, right?
Grade: B+
CHICAGO CUBS (52-38) - The Cubbies have a far-and-away NL-best + 105 mark in terms of runs differential and no question 2B Javy Baez (team-highs 18 HR, 66 RBI) is right there at the top of the league's MVP race but closer Brandon Morrow (20 saves) has given Joe Maddon's squad some end-of-the-game stability and LHP starters Jon Lester and Jose Quintana have been sharp. Right now, the Cubs are even in the all-important loss column with the Brewers but don't be surprised if Chitown passes 'em by in the standings by the break.
Grade: B
ARIZONA (51-43) - One of the streakiest teams we've seen in MLB, this Diamondbacks crew managed to win even when All-Star 1B Paul Goldschmidt struggled and yet lost a batch of games when "Goldy" heated up ... go figure. The bottom line: 'Zona is slightly ahead of schedule when it comes to the "over" projection of 85.5 wins and LHP Patrick Corbin (1.05 WHIP) has been a blessing while regaining his health.
LOS ANGELES DODGERS (50-42) - Maybe we're being a bit kind to the Dodgers who were slated to win 97 games this year but consider the shabby/post-World Series hangover start to this year and the fact key 3B Justin Turner missed the first couple of months and LHP Clayton Kershaw has not been in the rotation all that much from start to now. Give oft-criticized manager Dave Roberts some kudos for keeping the LA gang afloat and a tip of the hat to lefty stick Max Muncy (21 HRs) who's headed to next week's Home Run Hitting Contest.
Grade: C+
SAN FRANCISCO (49-46) - The Giants rank 12th in the league in home runs, 12th in runs scored and 9th in team ERA and yet here they are in the thick of the NL West race thanks in large part to being 13 games over .500 at home ... the Bruce Bochy effect (again!). No LHP Madison Bumgarner for most of this current campaign hasn't shaken the Jints' overall confidence.
Grade: C
ST. LOUIS (47-44) - Folks, we keep waiting for the Cardinals to get on some sort of winning streak but the Redbirds remain stop-and-start (e.g., split last 10 games) and it's troubling that St. Loo is only 23-22 at home. The groin-area injury to C Yadier Molina kept him sidelined for a batch of games but All-Star INF Matt Carpenter (17 HR, .372 on-base percentage) has been a star for a team that ranks a so-so eighth in the league in runs scored. Hey, thank goodness for All-Star RHP Miles Mikolas who entered the year a major question mark (and #4 or #5 starter) and has 10 wins and a nifty 1.01 WHIP.
MIAMI (39-56) - Gotta admit that the stripped-down Marlins have been more competitive on a game-by-game basis than we originally thought and truth is the Fish is slightly ahead of schedule in terms of their 64.5 wins total at season's start. Too bad that underrated LHP Caleb Smith went down for the year recently - his 88 Ks and 5 wins still leads this rather no-name staff.
COLORADO (48-45) - The Rockies are right around where you'd expect 'em to be but consider that they're 20-23 at Coors Field and that 3B Nolan Arenado (23 HR, 66 RBI) is an unhappy camper these days.
CINCINNATI (41-52) - Give the Reds some credit for a recent hot stretch (remember that Cincy started off the year at 3-17!) as underrated 3B Eugenio Suarez (19 HR, 69 RBI - both team highs) has been a great complement to lefty winger 1B Joey Votto (.424 on-base pct) this year.
PITTSBURGH (44-49) - Hey, the Pirates are right around where the "experts" thought they'd be with a .467 winning percentage (a .456 winning rate will get 'em the over 73.5 wins) but the pitching's been real bad (12th in the league in ERA at 4.41) and only closer LHP Felipe Vazquez (20 saves) has looked good.
Grade: D
WASHINGTON (47-46) - Quite frankly, we're getting tired of answering the question, "What's wrong with the Nationals" on a seemingly annual basis. Rookie manager Davey Martinez hasn't pushed many of the right buttons and - yes, we know star 2B Daniel Murphy has missed a gazillion games - but this offense ranks just 9th in the league in batting average and runs scored and even All-Star Game starter RF Bryce Harper's been sub-par.
SAN DIEGO (40-55) - Sorry, we realize the "over" wins projection was 73 W's for this Padres team but we expected more oomph after the signing of 1B Eric Hosmer but this SD squad is 14th (or next-to-last) in the league in both home runs and runs scored.
Grade: F
NEW YORK METS (37-54) - To be fair, the Mets were supposed to be a .500-type team in 2018 even though they made some significant off-season free-agent signings (see OF Jay Bruce, 3B Todd Frazier and reliver Anthony Swarzak) but the bottom fell out soon after that electric/unexpected 11-1 start and first-year manager Mickey Callaway has been a gigantic bust ... what was then-GM Sandy Alderson thinking when he hired this dude? If it wasn't for RHP Jacob deGrom (MLB-best 1.68 ERA) then this season would remind Mets fans of 1962!
Jim Hurley and his Network of Handicappers and Bloggers keep winning big with Major League Baseball action every day - get all the MLB winners online or 1-800-323-4453.
Grade: A+
BOSTON (66-30) - It's been an epic season so far for the Red Sox (playing .688 ball while heading into Saturday's game against Toronto) and whether it's the + 156 in runs differential (second-best to Houston in MLB) or the 32-13 home / 34-17 road marks that just boggle the mind or the fact the Bosox rank 1st in the AL in runs scored (512), second in home runs (131) and third in team ERA (3.53) the fact remains this is special stuff for the Fenway Park crew ... and how about the fact there's two legit MVP candidates on board in DH J.D. Martinez (28 HR, 79 RBI) and OF Mookie Betts (.352 batting average with 76 runs scored). Need we say more?
OAKLAND (53-42) - Baseball's biggest "feel-good story" as most MLB fans couldn't name three players on this squad and yet they're headed to the All-Star Game break very much in the hunt for a wild card spot. Did you know Khris Davis has 21 HR, 63 RBI and has scored 51 runs - all team highs?
SEATTLE (58-37) - All/most of the personnel moves by re-inked GM Jerry DiPoto have worked and the Mariners get extra credit for winning big without suspended 2B Robinson Cano ... how about different offensive leaders in batting average, HR, RBI and stolen bases and closer RHP Edwin Diaz has 36 saves and is a top three Cy Young contender at this very moment.
Grade: A
HOUSTON (63-34) - Last year's World Series champs were "challenged" in the spring and there's been zero hangover effect for a club that leads baseball with a + 183 runs differential, sports a half-dozen true offensive stars (how about DH Evan Gattis with 62 RBI?) and the single-best pitching staff in the bigs now starring the likes of 2017 post-season hero RHP Justin Verlander (2.05 ERA) and neat import RHP Gerrit Cole (team-high 169 Ks).
TAMPA BAY (48-46) - Gotta admit we don't love this "opener" business where a reliever starts and goes an inning or two but overall the stress/strain on TB's starting rotation has been eased (3rd best in team ERA in AL right now) plus LHP Blake Snell - finally named an All-Star with 12 wins and 2.27 ERA - has been Cy Young-like in his club's first 90-plus games.
NEW YORK YANKEES (61-32) - Hats off to first-year manager Aaron Boone who was feeling some early heat after the Yankees' 9-9 start but this pinstriped crew has roared back and is an almost automatic "W" when starting RHP Luis Severino (14-2, 1.01 WHIP). And just think where the Yanks might be if overpaid OF/DH Giancarlo Stanton wasn't striking out so much (126 Ks)? Top to bottom, this lineup's a killer and it'll only get better when 2B Gleyber Torres returns from the DL.
Grade: B
CLEVELAND (51-42) - If anything, we're cutting the Tribe some slack with this grade 'cause they have not been very good outside the crummy AL Central (see 23-29) despite the fact there's two legitimate MVP guys here in our spring training pick of SS Francisco Lindor and RBI machine Jose Ramirez (69 ribbies).
Grade: C+
LOS ANGELES ANGELS (48-47) - The Halos should be a whole lot better than a single game over .500 with rankings in the top six in runs/home runs/team ERA and gotta say veteran manager Mike Scioscia has not done a very good job.
Grade: C
TORONTO (43-50) - The Blue Jays were expected to be a .500-type team (projected wins at 81.5 prior to start of '18 season) but not much to like thus far with league's 11th-best ERA and "ace" J.A. Happ slumping badly in recent starts ... rotten offensive team that just doesn't produce much traffic on the bases.
MINNESOTA (43-49) - It would be nice to see some consistency from this Twins' team that wins just one-third of its road games (see 15-28) but there's little pop on this attack (95 dingers ranks 12th in the AL) and who's the stopper in this rotation? True, Minny's won eight of its last 10 at press time but we've waited 90-plus games into this season to see some life!
DETROIT (40-56) - A couple of weeks ago we were gonna hail manager Ron Gardenhir for a job well done but then the bottom fell out and Motowners have dropped five in a row at last check with ace RHP Michael Fulmer scuffling and 1B/DH Miguel Cabrera (biceps) out for the year.
Grade: D
TEXAS (41-54) - The master plan of building back the Rangers has not worked and the club's 12th-ranked pitching staff has been a mess with trade bait LHP Cole Hamels way too inconsistent for our tastes.
Grade: F
BALTIMORE (26-69) - How about being 39.5 games back of Boston in the AL East standings?
CHICAGO WHITE SOX (32-61) - Hey, don't let the Orioles be the only team to take a shot to the mid-section from us here as this Chisox club is awful and eaily headed for 100-plus loss campaign.
KANSAS CITY (26-67) - Sure, the Royals let lots of that 2015 World Series champion talent go but did anyone think KC would fall off the map like this?

We ended our year with Jason + Scott on the beach for an intimate family wedding. I honestly don't even know what to say about these two, they were SO sweet and you could feel how much they love each other. So dapper. SO kind. Those are pretty much our favorite things. Oh, and matching Cartier rings? Yes, please!
Jason works for the Parks department, so tying the knot on a natural beach really meant a lot to him, and it was gorgeous out, so I think it worked for everyone. We ended with cake at the Twisted Vine in downtown Fort Myers, another favorite of the couples'. These are our favorite weddings; at your favorite places, with your favorite people, with our favorite kind of love.

Another post in a series from the cataloger of the Anne M. Cranston cookbook collection, which consists of approximately 4,400 British and American cookbooks from the 19th and 20th centuries. In this series, Shelley shares fascinating recipes, quotes, kitchen solutions, and anecdotes she has uncovered in the collection.
Food is central to the human experience, and discovering how people prepared and served food is a unique and intimate glimpse into daily life. I wish I could find the time to try a fraction of the recipes I come across; experiencing the food people ate is, in a small way, to remember them. These days, I find myself still immersed in New England cookery trying to find the most iconic recipes in their original and traditional forms. When I think New England, Boston baked beans immediately come to mind. This recipe is from Eleanor Early's New England Cookbook. Serve steaming hot with brown bread.
Boston Baked Beans
1 qt. dried pea beans [navy beans]
1 medium-sized onion, peeled
½ lb. salt pork
½ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/3 cup molasses
1 tbsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
1. On Friday night put the beans to soak in a kettle full of cold water. In the morning pour the water off, cover with fresh water and bring slowly to a boil. Simmer until you can blow the skins off.
2. When the skins blow off (it will take an hour or more), drain the beans and place about 1 cup in bean pot. Add onion. Add remaining beans until the pot is almost filled.
3. Score the salt pork to the rind and force down among the beans until it just shows at the top of the pot. Combine remaining ingredients and mix with the beans. Add enough hot water to fill pot. The pork should protrude a little above the water line so that it can brown nicely.
4. Bake in 300° oven for at least 8 hours. Add more water if necessary during baking time.
Chowders are simple, but when a good recipe is executed correctly, chowders can make incredible meals. I still remember the incredible taste of a New England clam chowder I had at Durgan Park near Faneuil Hall in Boston in 1985. This chowder is from the Crystal Lake Cook Book.
Fish Chowder
Cut into small pieces 3 or 4 pounds of fresh fish. Place in bottom of dinner pot 5 or 6 slices of salt pork and fry brown. Add and fry brown 3 thinly sliced onions. Remove kettle from fire and place on the onions and pork a layer of fish, a layer of potatoes, and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Add another layer of potatoes and fish until all the fish is used. Cover with water and after boiling half an hour pour in 6 finely powdered crackers. Add 1 pint or 1 quart of milk. Let scald and serve.
One of the oldest New England desserts is Indian pudding. It is an adaptation of an older English recipe using ingredients that New Englanders had in copious supply. Serve with plain or whipped cream.
Indian Pudding
3 tbs. yellow corn meal
1/3 cup dark molasses
3 cups milk, scalded
½ cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tbs. butter
¼ tsp. salt
½ tsp. ginger
½ tsp. cinnamon
1 cup cold milk
1. Stir corn meal and molasses into scalded milk and cook over low heat until it thickens, stirring constantly.
2. Remove from heat and add sugar, egg, butter, salt, and spices.
3. Pour into buttered baking dish and bake in 300ₒ oven for 30 minutes. Add cold milk. Do not stir. Continue baking at 300° for 2 hours.
Being so close to Saint Patrick's Day, I wanted to add a word or two about New England boiled dinner. It may not be true Irish, but it has always been a staple with my family—especially at this time of year when corned beef brisket goes on sale. Every cookbook I have seen has basically the same recipe: Place meat in crock or stew pot, cover with water and simmer until tender and falling apart. When the meat is almost done, add potatoes, onions, carrots, and finally cabbage (turnips or parsnip optional). Any leftovers can be used to make hash the next morning—unless of course you live at my house. There is no leftover corned beef at my house.
While I absolutely love corned beef, I can see how one could tire of a steady diet of the stuff as related by an anecdote from Nantucket and Other New England Cooking:
"In early Nantucket days salted beef, called "Salt Horse," was served twice a week as was boiled salt pork. Whalemen used to say they varied their diet by Having Salt Horse and hardtack* one meal and hardtack and Salt Horse the next and so on."
*For the uninitiated, hardtack is a biscuit or cracker make from flour, water, and sometimes salt. It was a standard ration for soldiers, sailors, and 49ers. If kept dry, it would keep intact and somewhat edible for years.
I cited the following books in this post:
Eleanor Early. New England Cookbook. New York: Random House, 1954.
Crystal Lake Cook Book. Barton, Vt.: Published by the Woman's Literary Club of Barton, Vt., for the benefit of the library and reading room, 1902.
Nancy Hawkins, Arthur Hawkins, and Mary Allen Havemeyer. Nantucket and Other New England Cooking. New York: Hastings House, Publishers, 1976.

After much networking, marketing and publicity campaigns, the phone finally rings and a prospective client calls to set up an appointment to see you. Or the client can go walk into your business premises. This is the moment, which gives you an opportunity to sell your idea, product or services to prospects in order to be in business. This is a make it or break it situation: your chance to walk the talk and deliver!
But this is not what happens.
You suddenly begin to panic and break into a nervous sweat. All sorts of insecurities and doubts break loose and you feel tempted to back out! The question in your mind is "how do I rise to the occasion"?
The following easy tips will help you rise to the occasion boldly and confidently and prevent you from blowing the deal of a lifetime.
1. Be prepared.
This can't be over emphasized. You must not only know your product, service or nature of your industry but must also be able to clearly communicate it to others. You must have the basic facts at your fingertips and be able to respond confidently to questions about your product or service.
You have to know your product or service and the language of the industry. If you don't have a way of explaining it, then its time to stop and get back to the books or do the groundwork. People want to do business with people who know what they are talking about. Preparation gives you a natural confidence to rise to the occasion like an expert!
2. Be yourself.
The worst thing to do is, to try to be someone else when selling something that has been birthed from your own idea, vision and dream. Allow your personality and your essence to come across. People are looking for originality and for something creatively different or packaged in a different style.
Don't sell yourself short by trying to copy everyone else or packaging your product in the same, old and boring way. People are tired of the conventional way of doing things. Remember that you are unique and you don't have to be anyone else to succeed. You will only comfortably rise to the occasion when you remain true to yourself and deliver how you know best.
3. Be confident.
If you have to rise to the occasion, your confidence must be evident in your voice and your body language. It's okay to be nervous. Just don't let it show in your voice, or in your behavior. Get yourself together. This is the moment that you have been waiting for.
People can sense a lack of confidence and nervous energy. If you come across as confident, it will be easier for a prospect to believe you and buy into your idea. Lack of confidence on your part will put the credibility of the product or service you are offering in question.
4. Focus on the value of your product or service.
Stay connected to the importance of the product or service you are selling and remind yourself of the value that it will bring to those who buy it.
Reconnect with the initial vision of you had about this product or service. Think about how far you have come and how much you have worked to get to this point in your life. This is the big moment that you have been waiting for. Encourage yourself and rise to the occasion!
5. Detach your emotions from negative outcomes.
Life patterns are cyclical and on some days you will succeed and on others you will fail. Some days are good and others bad. Celebrate the good outcomes and improve on them. Don't beat yourself up over the negative outcomes. It's not worth it.
The only thing to learn from failure is how not to do it again. Consider it good practice for the next time.

text: I have installed both the ucbmpeg player and mtv player, and set up netscape for each. I have consistently not been able to view mpegs. Each time an mpeg file comes over the line, this message is displayed in a dialog box, from Netscape as well as from Mosaic: Using private color-map Bad MPEG? Giving up. Try mpeg_stat -verify to see if the stream is valid. I cannot find a command "mpeg_stat". I was able to run "mpeg_play" from an xterm on an FTPed test mpeg. What is a "private color-map"? I have had other netscape proglems, such as the intermittent death by "bus error" and a creeping and increasing slowness over hours of time, in the responsiveness of only the netscape window to mouseclicks. A problem I had earlier has persisted, but is only an irritation: often netscape won't boot up. If I try again to start it from an xterm, it might or might not boot on a second try. In this case, a message is recieved about a lock file, but that while netscape might run, cache will not be able to be used, etc. if the lock file isn't removed. Then if I just say, ok, netscape, once again, might not, or might start. I tried 24bpp, 32bpp, 16bpp, with no difference. (Did not affect the mpeg player either). Sometimes I can get netscape to start with the -iconic switch. It's more or less random, as far as I can tell. Sometimes it will start on the third try. Once, amazingly, a netscape process was running, but wasn't showing up, when I quit X. For a split second the outline of the netscape window appeared! Another thing: when I try to access a site with a live midi background feed, netscape dies with the mysterious "bus error". I haven't been able to get my Yamaha Asound (OPL3-2A) sound card configured yet for midi, but this happened before I installed a sound card at all. Sorry to ramble on so long. I think these problems are related? I would appreciate any advice. And I do appreciate the excellent advice I have received many times over this mailing list. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to email@example.com .

Classroom Aquaponics Program
Since Fall of 2015 we have been installing Mini-Aquaponics systems in classrooms all over Fayette County. These super simple systems use a 10 gallon fish tank, with a connected mini float bed for the plants. Mini-systems show how amazingly scalable aquaponics is and allows teachers to build curriculum for the Nitrogen Cycle, Plant Life Cycles, Fish Life Cycles, Ecosystem Analysis, Water Quality and Testing, and much more with a living, interactive model for the kids to test and manipulate. They get a complete ecosystem right in their classroom! there are now mini systems in 22 elementary and middle schools in Fayette County impacting over 10,000 kids' education everyday!
In addition to the mini systems, FoodChain also works with Tates Creek High School, STEAM Academy and Bryan Station Middle School to build, install, and run the barrelponics system we developed. This system really allows students to explore all the possibilities of using aquaponics for food production.
Now we are looking to transition this program into a workshop model, teaching educators and other enthusiasts how to build and maintain their own systems! Watch our calendar and emails for dates of our first pilot workshop of the Mini-Aquaponics system this July.
Farm to School
FoodChain is deeply involved in the Fayette County Farm to School Program, to bring more fresh local foods into Central Kentucky's public schools. In conjunction with bringing local, fresh food into schools, the Farm to School Program also works to provide corresponding education surrounding the Environmental, Human Health, and Economic Benefits of purchasing and consuming local food. The program is run by an advisory council comprised of representatives from local government, the local health department, school administrators, the local farmer's market and a wide variety of non-profit organizations and for-profit businesses.
This summer the Farm to School Program will be partnering closely with Lexington Farmer's Market to provide youth engagement and education activities to the Saturday market through the national Power of Produce Club (link with https://farmersmarketcoalition.org/programs/power-of-produce-pop/). Here we will promote youth purchasing power through $2 weekly vouchers for local produce. This will be coupled with weekly produce tastings and engaging activities around agriculture and nutrition.
Our educational programming isn't just in classrooms, though. A lot of our outreach involves bringing students to tour our farm, where they can experience commercial scale aquaponic food production, learn all about FoodChain's history, vision, and plans for the future, as well as our breeding program and fish feed that we produce from West Sixth Brewing's (include link) spent grains! We host public and private tours for school groups of all ages and other organizations like 4H and gardening clubs. These educational tours are tailored to suit the age and interest of each group to get them excited to go home and explore on their own! (If you are a school interested in any of these things this page is for you!)
Cooking Classes
FoodChain has begun to offer cooking classes in order to prepare for our expansion to add a Teaching and Processing Kitchen adjacent to our farm. Learn more about our pilot program here!

The annual State Fair Pro-Am has come and gone for the year, and no doubt you've seen the RESULTS, but from competitions like these we get to see some great brewers, both pro and amateur, show off their talents as part of our New Mexico brewing scene. I spoke with John Rowley, very near-future head brewer of Sub Rosa Cellars (the newest brewery in Santa Fe), and a man who is no stranger to entering and judging in these many brewing competitions. He was nice enough to take the time out of his busy schedule to talk about his experience with the State Fair Pro-Am, the judging process, what competitions, like this, mean to brewers in the state, and about some future events that are coming up for all of those who aim to brew better beer.
DSBC: How long have you been entering the State Fair Pro-Am as a homebrewer?
Rowley: I started competing in 2010. I didn't win much, but I was mainly looking for feedback at that point. We didn't have the infrastructure in our club in place at that time so we had to send beers to competitions to help us understand what we were doing wrong (or right). Back then the Sangres (Sangre De Cristo Craft Brewers homebrew club of Santa Fe) were more of a drinking club that brewed. We've come a long way since then.
DSBC: How does it feel to three-peat as Best of Show?
Rowley: I'm really humbled by this result. There are really a lot of great brewers in the homebrewing scene here in New Mexico. People like Jim the Elder, Ben Miller, Tim Lambert, Paul McQuaid, Jason Kirkman, Jim Steinbach, Kevin Fleming, Lyna Wagonner, Jeff Jantz, Laki Gletsos, Mark Westbrook, Scott Carpenter, and Jerome with his meads. I'm probably missing a bunch of folks as well.
There are really some standout people fermenting here. Even Warren from our club makes beer that could be considered better than some pro-level beers. I judged an IPA from Ben Miller last week that could have easily been in the top three beers if it were a pro entry in the IPA Challenge. He's so solid with his hop-forward beers. Homebrewers here are that good. It means a lot to me that the judges respected my beer that much. I really didn't think I was going to win as the beers I expected to do well, only made it to the silver or bronze medals. I'm glad that beer won, though, as that was the first time I entered that beer in any competition.
DSBC: Which beer was that?
Rowley: The beer that won Best Specialty and went on to win Best of Show is called Unshiu, which in Mandarin means mandarin (as in orange). That beer was a sour blonde that I mashed with a bag of Clementines, primary fermented with a two-liter starter of L. Brevis from White Labs, then finished with the Brett-like Sacch "Brux" Trois, Chinese red rice yeast, and a liter of fresh-squeezed tangerine juice. It was firmly lactic sour, but the citrus came through nicely.
DSBC: What do you feel this particular win, with a sour, means about the competition, the judges, styles in general?
Rowley: I'm excited to see sours, both American wild ones and traditional Belgian ones, seeing love in competitions. This was not always the case. And with Sub Rosa Cellars coming online soon, I think we are in the curve with respect to brewing sour and wild ales, especially in New Mexico. Your buddy Stoutmeister may not be fond of the funk, but many, many other people are. He may come around eventually, though. I know I have. Funk was not always something I craved. (Don't hold your breath, John. — S)
DSBC: To get Stoutmeister's attention it might take a sour as black as night, aged in an iron maiden, and soured by the souls of a thousand bad referees. Or maybe just a really balanced kriek. Speaking of which, it'll sound biased now, working for SFBC, but last year's Kriek was the sour that got my attention, and that was after my venture into sours in Portland, Oregon. Obviously I wasn't working for SFBC then, but that beer spoke, and I listened. Anyway, let's talk a little about the judging process. Tell us about it, for those who aren't familiar.
Rowley: Judging is something that either you love, or you hate. Ask Dark Side contributor Brews Banner about this. I judged with him once and even though he did well, he saw first-hand how much work it is. It's not for everyone. Personally, I enjoy it tremendously. It has taken me a few years to get to where I am now with my palate, but I'm very solid on diacetyl and fusels. I can pick those up at very small concentrations. But, I'm getting off topic a bit. In terms of judging, we usually pair up a less experienced judge with a more experienced one and let them individually judge a beer. Once they are done, they come to a consensus and award a score based on the aroma, appearance, flavor, mouthfeel, and overall impression. It's a developed format that the BJCP has been developing for a long time. A beer that scores a 13 is basically undrinkable and one that scores a 46 is just about perfect. A lot of beers we judged were in the 20's and 30's, which is pretty common. It's rare to see a bunch of 40's in any given flight, unless you're at Nationals, where there are a lot of great brewers competing. A judge never judges his own beer, and must recuse themselves if they mistakenly get placed on a flight they have been in. The registration software prevents this from happening, however.
We didn't have a great turnout of judges this year, but we were lucky in that we did have two high-level judges come down from Colorado to help us out. They did a fantastic job. We also had a lot of judges working overtime. I think Kevin is talking about moving it later in the year for next year, which might help with turnout a bit. If you have judging the same weekend as Hopfest, it's obviously going to be difficult to get people to come out.
DSBC: How many people were involved? How many days did this go on? What were some of the challenges you guys faced?
Rowley: We judged from Friday, Aug. 28, through Tuesday, Sept. 1. Usually we can get everything done in a three-day period, but some sessions this time around had as little as six judges, whereas we would normally have 15 or more. People were leaving during a flight, which was difficult as you need to find another judge to help finish up when that happens, or judge the rest at a later time. Luckily that only happened twice, as I recall. A lot of the folks in the usual judging pool just were not available. Alana (GM of Santa Fe Brewing Co.), for instance, is a strong judge that comes out for every competition. I haven't seen her in a long time, but I understand she's pretty pregnant right now.
DSBC: This is true. Any lessons learned from this year's judging?
Rowley: Schedule means a lot. I think Kevin's idea to move it into September next year will help a bunch. With Hopfest and Labor Day weekend, people have their minds set on consumption, not judging. We also need to develop more judges in this state. I think the judges we have are fantastic. But we just need more. Places with greater populations and overall interest have an advantage in terms of sheer numbers. The Sangres will be starting up a new 2015 BJCP class very soon so hopefully we can get some new faces in for this. If you are interested in at least learning the new guidelines, feel free to sign up to our list at groups.yahoo.com and search Sangre de Cristo Craft Brewers.
DSBC: Did you guys experience anything weird, awkward, or funny moments this time around?
Rowley: There's always some funny stuff that goes on — people spilling Russian Imperial Stouts onto scoresheets, bottles gushing foam geysers all over the place, things of that nature. I think the funniest thing this time around was the bottle of Biere de Garde (that) Kevin had placed on the floor drain at Tractor. That bottle was slowly pushing out a rocky, tan stream of foam and when it stopped, he threw a cork in it to keep it from getting too flat. About 45 minutes later, that cork ejected violently and actually dented the ceiling tile about 20 feet above the bottle. Everyone was at first surprised, but then laughing hysterically. Luckily nobody was hurt. A cork like that can take out an eye. I never imagined I would have to wear safety glasses to judge beer.
DSBC: It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. Then it's just funny. What do you think a competition of this type means for homebrewers and pro brewers of the state? What does it mean for the New Mexico craft beer industry in general?
Rowley: As a judge, I hope we helped beginning brewers with well-worded feedback when their beers had issues. I encountered my fair share of beers with issues this time around. This shows me that there are a number of new brewers out there, which I think is great. It's always good to see a new generation of homebrewers getting after it. I always encourage new brewers to email me if they have questions with their processes. I'm always game to help out as much as I am able to. Brewing great beer has a lot to do with your process.
For the professionals, it means a lot to be able to show off hardware/medals in their respective places of business. Competition improves everyone at some level. When quality comes first, everyone wins. You don't get medals without being able to brew high quality beer.
DSBC: What will it be like entering your beer as a pro next year?
Rowley: I look forward to being in there. It'll depend on the Dukes using the new 2015 guidelines. The beer we plan on brewing at Sub Rosa Cellars definitely leans towards the 2015 guidelines over the 2008 ones.
DSBC: What's the next major homebrewing competition coming up?
Rowley: To be honest, I haven't really focused much on what's going on outside of the area since we have been really busy with the new brewery, but I suspect the FOAM Cup is the next one coming up. FOAM is a big club in Oklahoma and they usually have an event in the fall. I won't be entering any more AM comps besides the Santa Fe Open. After that, I suspect I won't have time to be brewing much at home.
DSBC: Can we get a small preview statement on the Santa Fe Open?
Rowley: So this year we have a lot of fun things on tap. We have a new, larger venue at the Santa Fe University of Arts and Design. Judging will be much more comfortable this time around. I'm working on prizes and the prize packs for judges right now. I'm having custom wine barrel stave bottle openers made with an engraving for the judges. These are super trick. I think judges work their asses off for little to no reward so we like to give back as much as possible. We will also have a pro round similar to last year with pro beer and pro cider rounds, as well as all the 2015 BJCP categories for AM's. As you have seen yourself, Luke, our trophy is the biggest trophy in the state and makes a great impression on a taproom bar.
DSBC: It's made a nice addition to my office, yes.
Rowley: We will be having the pro awards ceremony at Cowgirl again, a judge wrap up party at Santa Fe Brewing, and three technical talks followed by the potluck and awards ceremony at the University. Jeff Erway has graciously offered to give the plenary talk, and James (Warren) from Blue Corn will give a talk, as well as a talk from one of our judges last year from Colorado on opening your own brewery. Sub Rosa Cellars is also hopping in to sponsor the club competition. The club with the most points will win a barrel, similar to last year when Susan's Wine and Spirits donated a Buffalo Trace barrel. Should be a fun competition for everyone. We had such a great time last year, and hope to step it up even further this time around.
* * * * *
Brewing better beer is the goal of most homebrewers and all pro-brewers. These competitions, whether large or small, are a good way to constantly check yourself, while receiving solid feedback from very hard-working judges. As fair as they can be, the judges award medals. Medals are earned for quality. Quality is achieved through good practice and real imagination. Through this process, brewers are challenged to brew better beer, mead, and ciders. These competitions increase the standard of quality throughout the local brewing communities. And I should say, no (pro) brewery is too good to receive solid feedback from their peers.
We've seen some very interesting results from these competitions, but we should think about the effects these competitions can have. Or perhaps we should listen to what the results of these competitions are telling us. Maybe a guy who three-peats Best of Show (Amateur) might go on to open a brewery or something. Who knows? And remember that one time when a cider won Best of Show (Commercial)? Think that win was insignificant? Let me ask you this: How many breweries now serve that cider in their taproom along their ales and lagers? Makes ya think, don't it?

Debt in Ontario
The average unsecured debt-to-income ratio:
- Ontario 185 %
- Windsor 170 %
- Leamington-Essex 190 %
- Chatham 215 %
- London 158 %
- Kitchener-Waterloo 167 %
- Niagara 176 %
- Toronto 194 %
- Mississauga 231 %
- North York 252 %
- Huron 248 %
- Orangeville 268 %
- Vaughan 321 %
Source: Hoyes, Michalos & Associates
Despite bitter experience from the last recession, the Windsor-Essex region's currently thriving economy may be enticing many residents to spend beyond their means, warns a bankruptcy expert.
"What we have seen lately — in the last three to five years — is even though house prices are up, people are taking on a lot of unsecured debt," said Doug Hoyes, co-founder of Hoyes, Michalos & Associates, which last week released its annual debt and bankruptcy report for Ontario.
"Instead of spending $300,000 on a house, they spend $400,000. Then they need to fill up the house. They head out to buy new furniture or build a new deck out back. You end up with more bank loans, credit card spending and unsecured debt."
In 2016, there were 896 consumer insolvencies in the Windsor area, which includes parts of Tecumseh, Lakeshore, LaSalle and Amherstburg. That's a small decrease from the previous year, according to Hoyes.
At the same time, two other measures of financial stress went up slightly. The average unsecured debt — which includes personal loans, credit cards and student loans — was $46,367. The ratio of unsecured debt to after-tax income was 170 per cent.
That's still better than the provincial average for unsecured debt, which stood at $52,634, and the Ontario debt-to-income ratio, which was 185 per cent.
The financial picture is slightly worse for residents of Essex County from Essex to Leamington, where housing purchases are likely the culprit for consumers taking on bigger debt loads, Hoyes said. The average unsecured debt was $55,326 and the debt-to-income ratio was 190 per cent. There were 286 consumer insolvency filings in 2016.
"One can only assume there are more people who are better off there," Hoyes said. "They are living in Leamington or Essex and might be working in Windsor. They can buy a bigger place out there with their money, but then get into financial trouble by taking on more debt."
It's a dangerous game, Hoyes said. A sudden job loss, illness and even a reduction in steady overtime pay can start the slide toward inescapable financial woes.
Housing prices and the unemployment rate will dictate how those on the financial edge fare going forward, he said.
The Bank of Canada's recent decision to start raising interest rates has already created reverberations.
The percentage of insolvent debtors in Ontario who owned a home at the time they filed for bankruptcy jumped in September to 10.2 per cent — the highest level since February, according to Hoyes, Michalos & Associates' homeowner bankruptcy index for Ontario.
Interest rate hikes combined with the recent drop in housing prices in many Ontario markets has compounded the financial troubles of homeowners carrying too much debt, Hoyes said.
"We assume tomorrow will be like yesterday," he said. "That interest rates will stay low and real estate prices will go up.
"What if something changes? What if there is no more overtime at the plant? What happens if NAFTA gets cancelled under Trump? Most people live paycheque-to-paycheque and will find it difficult to survive with less. You can't just continually refinance and get more money."
With the Windsor economy doing well, people should be paying down their unsecured debt — not adding to it, Hoyes said. "When things are good that's the time to reduce debt, not the time to take on more."

Interview With Winnipeg
Filmmaker Guy Maddin
Guy Maddin often dreams of his childhood home in Manitoba's capital. His 2007 mockumentary film My Winnipeg is like a dream of the city, a surrealist concoction of autobiography and fantastical invention. It takes what it wants from waking life and tosses out the rest, as dreams tend to do. "The truth is relative," reads the film poster.
So we asked Maddin for his true feelings about the city, but does that mean we should
we believe him? In our interview, he tells us about his detachment from the city since making My Winnipeg, the man who now haunts his childhood home, and the time he lied to Björk. Believe of it what you will.
Interview by Jesse Skinner
Photography by Fantavious Fritz
Photo Assistant Kyle Sanderson
My Winnipeg is very nostalgic, but you've never really left the city. How did you capture that feeling of longing for the locations you pass by all the time?
It's strange. I've stayed way too long. I've sucked all the nostalgic flavour out of the city, like chewing gum that's way past its spit-out date. But I think I crave stability, and I'm fiercely loyal to people and places. It's like the Commandment, "Honour thy Father and Mother." I've honoured everything from which I came. Not just my parents, but also my parent's time and the time before that—the cities in which they dwelt. I don't know why. Though making My Winnipeg did cure me of some attachment to the city.
Most of the apocryphal stories in My Winnipeg are ones you heard in your youth. As a grown man, do local myths and legends still fascinate you?
Stories still come to me. I guess they come to everyone, but I just notice them more. I remember after making My Winnipeg, even more stuff came to me and I could have easily made further movies about the city. I thought at the time Winnipeg was mythically fascinating, but that I should include things that were also historically true to make it interesting for the other people. Each time I watch the movie, it inspires memories of my own hometown. In that way, it's not just about Winnipeg.That's what I hoped for. I think in a literal sense, most people live in or come from small towns and communities. We all have our own pasts. It's a real thrill to narrate the movie live, in places like, say, Sydney or Berlin, and see it connect to different cultures and languages, and to see those people laughing at Winnipeg or with it.
Are you ever surprised by what is taken as true?
I remember screening the film in Iceland and Björk was in the audience. She asked me whether the "fact" about horse heads being frozen in the Red River was true. At first I thought, "I shouldn't lie to Björk." And then, I thought, "No, I should lie even more to Björk!" So, I piled on the lies.
Was Winnipeg ever really considered the coldest city in the world?
I read that when I was a kid. I think now it's Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, if you look it up on the Internet. Let's say it's the coldest city in the Western Hemisphere, and that's cold enough for me.
I wonder what My Ulaanbaatar would look like.
The Mongolian filmmakers would probably be mad at me for trying to steal their claim to fame.
Are there any places in Winnipeg that still inspire a curious feeling in you, like buildings you have always passed but never entered?
I finally went into the Thunderbird, this burger joint I'd be driving past for 57 years on the way to the family cottage. I'd been within 50 feet of it for years before finally going in. It looked so strange. It always seemed so modern to me as a kid, but inside it looked so old.
Do you have any early memories of seeing Winnipeg reflected back at you on television or in movies?
The great British director Michael Powell made a movie called 49th Parallel that I saw as a kid. It was about Nazi spies who crash-land near Hudson's Bay, and make their way through Winnipeg. There's a scene where the Nazis are hungry and look through the windows of some landmark Winnipeg eateries. I was really thrilled to see my hometown in the movie. It was confirmation, through emotion, that it existed.
When did you last visit 800 Ellice, your childhood home?
I dream of it frequently, but I went back about three years ago. The guy that lives there runs a tailoring shop where my mother and her sisters used to run a salon. He's the same age as me, but from an area near My Lai, the site of the famous massacre in Vietnam. That happened when we were both 12.Now he's sleeping in my bedroom where I got my first morning boner. He's helping the community while I make wonky art movies. He's the person I should have been.
This issue of Double Dot features content about both Winnipeg and its former sister city, Minneapolis-St. Paul. Any shout-outs to that area?
When I was a teenager, there were some girls I had mad crushes on from there, crushes strong enough to make me drive through blizzards. Then later, starting out as a filmmaker, I had a really good relationship with the Walker Art Center. I was invited to talk a lot of times. And as a baseball fan I'd make pilgrimages to Twins games.

The New Mexico Heart Institute Foundation (NMHIF) is dedicated to enhancing the cardiovascular health of all New Mexicans through education, cardiovascular health promotion, and research. The foundation has become an important resource for Albuquerque and New Mexico through it's work in education for healthcare providers, patients and the public. The health promotion programs through its New Heart Center for Wellness, Fitness and Cardiac Rehabilitation has changed lives by providing high quality guidance to people with heart disease and those at risk for heart disease.
The NMHIF was formed in 1985 by Dr. Barry Ramo through a generous gift from a family of one of the Heart Institute's patients. The board of directors consists of physicians who share a common vision for its work. It has received support from the physicians at the New Mexico Heart Institute, Foundations along with patients and their families who appreciate the valuable work of the Foundation.
The NMHIF educates health care professions in the state on the latest in management of patients with heart disease and programs to prevent heart disease. For 25 years, the Foundation has sponsored the annual Current Concepts in Cardiology event, attended by more then 300 health care providers throughout the State. The proper management of heart attack patients is critical in getting rapid treatment within 90 minutes after arriving at the hospital. Our annual Emergency Care conference teaches paramedics, health care providers and physicians what the latest approaches are to dealing with this emergent problem.
The Foundation oversees lectures on diet, exercise, stress reduction and heart disease prevention, which are all available to the public.
Project Heart Start
Almost 400,000 people suffer from sudden cardiac arrest each year. Project Heart Start (PHS) is dedicated to saving lives by teaching life-saving skills. Participants learn to recognize signs of a heart attack, to perform high quality CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), to use an automated external defibrillator (AED) and to save a victim of choking. The program has taught more than 50,000 people these life-saving skills. In January 2016, the Foundation wrote and the Governor signed a bill making the Project Heart Start components be a requirement for graduation from all the New Mexico's Public Schools.
Click hear to find out more about Project Heart Start.
New Heart Center for Wellness, Fitness and Cardiac Rehabilitation
New Heart was developed in 1972 by Dr. Richard Lueker. Now an integral part of the New Mexico Heart Institute Foundation, The New Heart cardiac rehabilitation program helps hundreds of people each month come back from a heart attack, heart surgery, heart transplants or heart failure. Cardiac Rehabilitation is instrumental in providing a bright future for people who thought that not possible. This 12 week/36 session program has been shown to lower the risk for future heart attacks and reduce the risk of heart failure or dying from heart disease. At New Heart, participants receive a tailored exercise program, nutrition and weight management advice along with stress reduction training. New Heart is located in a beautiful facility at 601 Lomas Blvd. in the Martineztown neighborhood of Albuquerque, just east of downtown.
Click here to find out more about New Heart Center for Wellness, Fitness and Cardiac Rehabilitation.
Saving Albuquerque's Heart
The Institute sponsors the Rx for a Health Heart program, which educates the public in heart disease prevention. The program consists of lectures on diet, exercise, stress reduction and general heart disease prevention. It also offers access to an exercise facility. Contact the NMHIF at (505) 843-2838 for information on this program.
These programs along with all of the amazing work toward wellness, education and research, which the New Mexico Heart Institute Foundation offers is crucial to protecting the healthy hearts of New Mexicans. The NMHIF is in need of contributions to further this education and research and expand its offerings to all hearts in need.
