And, amazingly, I've got this far without even mentioning the two standout features of this iteration. First is weather. Even if the rain, snow and mist effects seem slightly more aesthetic than physical when you're racing, they still add a tangible layer of added danger to the action and there's no denying how spectacular it all looks on the screen. Racing through Shangai or Vegas at night with the rain pounding down and the neon smearing is one of my highpoints of gaming in the current generation.
Motorbikes, meanwhile, are a fantastic inclusion. Perhaps those used to Climax's MotoGP series will bemoan the slightly fanciful handling model and control scheme, but I think it's another case of Bizarre making smart choices about when to prioritise realism and when to prioritise playability. In PGR4 the two-wheelers are first and foremost fun, not least because you can pull some ridiculous wheelies as you pass some hapless driver then turn round and taunt him from your saddle.
There's a lot more good stuff I can say; about how streamlined and lag-free the online component is; about how well the different play modes work in multiplayer, and about how clever it is that the game automatically compares your scores in different challenges against those of other gamers on your Xbox Live friends list. I could waffle on at length about some of the excellent cars you'll meet further on, or burble all about the Tesla Roadster - a crazy electric supercar that sounds like a cross between a milk-float and a washing machine gearing up to spin. And in all this, the only negative things I can say are that there's still no real car damage to speak of, and that the driver AI - while good - could still be a little bit more aggressive.
While I'm at it, maybe we could do with a few more European makes and models, and perhaps a handful of tracks suffer from a lack of opportunity to overtake. Overall, though, we're talking minor niggles, not stinging criticisms. Some of you out there might regret the lack of car customisation options or complain that PGR4 still can't match Forza for the depth of its online and community options. But to that I'd say that all that tinkering often results in a spend-to-win mechanic, and that all the custom paintjobs and car auctions in the world can't make up for the lack of an engaging single-player experience. After the disappointment of Forza 2 and the non-appearance of GT5, PGR4 is practically de-facto the leader in its field. Unless either series can stage a spectacular comeback, I suspect it might stay that way for some time.
Project Gotham has veered even further from GT-style driving sim territory, but it has finally nailed its mix of speed, style and substance. As of now, it's the best road racer on the market.

Contempt motion dropped over New Orleans jail
NEW ORLEANS - A federal judge has dismissed a contempt motion against the sheriff who runs the New Orleans jail and has called off a Monday hearing about fire safety issues at the lockup.
Lawyers for inmates and the Justice Department had called this week for a contempt finding against Sheriff Marlin Gusman. They cited problems with fire safety conditions in parts of the jail complex, which includes buildings that are more than 80 years old.
Gusman had reached an agreement with the Justice Department to make improvements at the jail.
On Friday, however, the lawyers said they are pleased with responses from Gusman and city officials that indicate efforts are underway to deal with the problems.
U.S. District Judge Lance Africk set a May 16 meeting with attorneys to discuss the issues.

I'm dopey,' declares Iris Apfel. 'I usually don't drink. I hope I'm coherent.' The 91-year-old, arguably Manhattan's most celebrated fashion muse du jour, is more than coherent. She is refreshingly to the point and possesses an incorrigibly salty tongue. She's just returned from a late lunch at the Cipriani Downtown restaurant. She and her 98-year-old husband Carl favour the Cipriani around the corner from their Upper East Side Park Avenue apartment, but don't go there as often as they would like since 'we're both so bony, we can't sit in those chairs'. (Technically they are Florida residents, they have an apartment in Palm Beach.)
Despite knocking back a couple of glasses of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Iris is still smarting from last night's election where she saw that 'half-wit' Barack Obama re-elected ('I'm not a Republican, I'm an intelligent') and admits to being 'pretty pooped' from the last week in which she travelled to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. She has bequeathed her sizeable collection of vintage clothing to the museum, even though practically every major collection in the country wooed her for its contents. 'So many of them are dopily run,' says Iris, who normally spends her days at home 'schlunking around in jeans and a shirt' (or, if chilly, a flannel pyjama top), though when she ventures out she refuses to appear as 'some ragpicker'. Dressed today in a vintage Gianfranco Ferre black riding jacket, zebra-patterned double-faced cashmere trousers, ankle-high red Wellingtons, and large, black resin chains featuring tiny pearls, she briefly looks at a card from the museum, thanking her for her appearance, but doesn't bother to glance at the accompanying flowers, leaving them for the housekeeper to unwrap in the turquoise kitchen. But she is grateful, particularly for the complimentary limousine that the museum sent to transport the couple there and back. 'They treated us like royalty,' she says.
This wasn't always the case. For most of her life, Iris has been incognito, an anonymous textile designer who worked for a number of America's First Ladies. That is, until seven years ago when the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art launched Rara Avis: Selections from The Iris Barrel Apfel Collection, a blockbuster show that detailed her highly eclectic, yet exquisite art of mixing couture and the unexpected. The Met had never before honoured a living woman who wasn't a designer and the show went on to tour the country to delighted crowds (as word spread, Carla Fendi, Giorgio Armani and Karl Lagerfeld took in the New York exhibition).
In the fickle world of fashion, Iris herself admits that she thought her instant fame 'would peter out and I'd be an accidental icon'. She insists that she prefers being under the radar, but one can't help but sense a certain satisfaction at all the accolades. She remains a savvy businesswoman ('I'd go bananas if I weren't working') and can now claim numerous new lines of merchandise, ranging from a handbag collection named Extinctions by Iris Apfel (featuring, among other things, Mongolian lamb, haircalf and colourful reptile skins) to a Home Shopping Network line of offbeat, bold, sculptural, and ethnically influenced jewellery (as well as highly styled flats that will debut early next spring). She has graced the pages of Vogue Italia (photographed by Bruce Weber, with whom she has since become great friends) and, at 91, is, without question, the oldest cover girl to appear on the front of Dazed & Confused.
Iris describes her textile designs as 'classic but over the top'. The same could be said for her personal style, a brash mélange of 'high and low fashion. Sometimes I wear couture with fleamarket finds. It's all over the map. Style is all a matter of attitude and how you wear it. I'm hardly a minimalist.' Her cosy, warmly lit apartment (in a historic building whose occupants include the philanthropist Iris Cantor) is stuffed with furniture referencing her varying interests, whether it be good French Provençal or the 'fanciful' type of English Regency ('Georgian is too uptight'). There are paintings of an 18th-century Spanish Infanta by Velázquez (or so she's been told — she is far too nervous to confirm its provenance) and two 18th-century Habsburg children ('they look like little old people'), as well as a lacquered Regency chair upholstered in orange silk velvet, which sits next to a Louis XV olive green velvet and light blue floral tapestry sofa. There is also a large stuffed bear brandishing a gold shield made by the noted Greek jeweller Zolotas. 'I like offbeat, gutsy things,' she says. 'Not pretty things. Humour and whimsy are key to both décor and fashion.'
Iris and Carl, who has had some heart problems of late and sits in what resembles an outdoor chaise longue in the bedroom, can't stop laughing about all the fuss over Iris's every move and utterance (she eschews the notion of hiring a PR, calling them, for the most part, 'twits… I'd run away with a stick'). If she wanted to, she could be out at four events a night (not to mention the front-row fashion show invitations), but declines most appearance requests. 'I don't like making chitchat where people mill around and drink,' she explains. When pressed, Iris reveals that she counts the designers Ralph Rucci and Duro Olowu as good friends. 'But we don't go to many balls — they're boring.' At trade shows, she finds herself 'attacked from all sides and pulled in all directions', so much so that a friend once commented: 'They act like you invented penicillin!'
'I try to be civil and nice, but it's just ridiculous,' says Iris. Her fan club ranges from six-year-old girls who send her letters and photos to noted photographers, stylists, designers, men (both straight and gay) and, of course, the sycophantic bloggers. 'I'm like Blanche DuBois. I live through the kindness of strangers [sic],' she says. She refuses to learn how to email, let alone text. 'Social media is all crazy to me. I don't know why people are so nosey and insecure, wanting others to know where they eat, what they like, and where they go.'
Iris Barrel was born in Queens. Her Russian grandfather was a master tailor, her influential, 'exceedingly chic' mother ('she worshipped at the altar of accessory') owned fashion boutiques, while her father ran an import business and a mirror company whose clients included the interior designer and society figure Elsie de Wolfe (also known as Lady Mendl). Iris recalls how de Wolfe, dressed in an ordinary bed jacket redone in priceless furs ranging from chinchilla to sable, would receive little Iris in her bed while her poodle named Blue-Blue ('I'm convinced she dipped her in indigo') watched over them. After studying art history at New York University (she scoffs at today's obsession with contemporary art) and a journalism stint at Women's Wear Daily, in the early 1950s she and Carl co-founded Old World Weavers, a textile company that supplied upscale fabric designs and restorations of antique fabrics. Their clients included First Ladies under nine presidencies and the private residences of, among other notables, Jackie Onassis, Estée Lauder, Marjorie Merriweather Post, Faye Dunaway, Montgomery Clift and the reclusive Greta Garbo whom, Iris recalls, 'you couldn't talk to. She'd just take out a pen and pencil.' As for their work at the White House, after first beginning to mention 'Madame Hillary', Iris simply notes, 'If every president's wife stuck her nose in it [the White House décor], imagine what we'd have.' With the exception of Mrs Nixon, whom she says 'was the First Lady most interested [in what we were doing] without being obnoxious. She would admit what she didn't know.'
As well as interfering presidential wives, another thing that irks Iris is pretentiousness and shoddy dressing. 'There's no glamour or mystery any more,' she says. She does not approve of Manhattan's Ladies Who Lunch ('It's superficial — and I'm not interested in what they babble. It sounds like a barnyard') or their penchant for plastic surgery and being 'all carved up. They're 70 years old and will never look like they're 27.' As for celebrities: 'Don't get me started. I'll go off on a toot. They look like they rolled in the mud. Grooming is a thing of the past.' Nor is she a particular fan of the masses she sees on the street: 'The fatter they are, the tighter the jeans. Not to mention the flip-flops. It's not pretty.' She is loath to criticise anyone by name, but, when prodded, she admits to admiring the individual style of Pauline de Rothschild, Millicent Rogers, Catherine Deneuve ('She's so beautiful, she'd look good in a Turkish towel'), and the Queen: 'You may not be in love with what she wears, but she has an attitude and a style. She has her own persona.'
Attitude and style are things that Iris — who is the subject of an upcoming Albert Maysles documentary — has never lacked. Despite a recent broken hip, there's little sign of her lessening her pace, though she rarely shops for marked-down couture or scours the world's flea markets any more ('My old bunks like Portobello Market and Elephant and Castle are pretty shabby now'). She would just as soon spend the evening holding hands with Carl, watching Gigi and hearing Maurice Chevalier sing 'How lovely to sit here in the shade… I'm glad I'm not young any more.' Or as Iris aptly puts it: 'I am glad I'm not young any more. If God is good to you and gives you those years, jump for joy!'

/// Storage Wars: Web Growth Sparks Data-Center Boom
July 7, 2011 | All Things Digital
For years, as Internet use boomed, builders of the giant, air-conditioned computer warehouses known as data centers couldn't keep up with demand. Now, though many investors continue to pile into the data-center business, one of the few hot spots in real estate, others fear the peak may be past. In key markets from New Jersey to Silicon Valley, there are signs that supply is catching up with the needs of the telecommunications, Internet and other companies that rent space from data-center landlords. Adding to the concern, some large tenants, such as Facebook Inc., are building their own facilities and avoiding paying rent to outside developers. Read the rest of this post on the original site

Hmmm, very interesting review but that price is a big surprise. The best news is that Panasonic has finally manufactured a plasma, which matches if not betters in some areas the Pioneer Kuro. Whilst the lack of ultimate customisation will annoy the real enthusiasts, for my untrained eye, I just want a TV that does a great job straight out of the box and it seems this set just does that. The biggest disappointment for me, (especially when you consider the price) is the fact that the wireless modules are plug in accessories rather than built in units? I wonder what Panasonics reason for this was? Could it have been that the technology standards were not signed off in time to be build them in?
The fact that this wireless functionality is so bolt on, can you connect the media box to the TV with a cable such as a HDMI lead?
I now look forward to the TX-P50V10 review, which seems to have all the same technology as this panel but in one neat (if not slightly chubbier) package.
Hi Simon
In Panasonic's defence, while it is irritating in some ways that the wirelessHD transmitter and receiver aren't built in to the multimedia box and screen respectively, I suspect it's because the system uses a beam-based delivery approach which needs to be able to beam and receive signals over a wider angle than would probably be possible using built-in components.
On other matters, since writing the review I've had further correspondence from Panasonic seemingly confirming that the issue I had whereby the picture dims unless you touch the remote every few minutes is a specific problem with my test unit, possibly caused by it not having the very latest firmware. At any rate, Panasonic's own engineers haven't been able to replicate the problem with any of the sets they have.
Nice review guys. Will you be testing a V10 set shortly?
A silver TV? How very 1990s.
@ Stephen Allred. It might be very 1990s but as someone who's had enough of shiny black bezels of varying thickness, I think it's nice to see Panasonic do something different. I will take a look at this set first chance I get, but the price is a deal breaker for me, no matter how good the quality. It's the same with Sharp's 56" set. It looks amazing, even when switched off. But £9k? No way! Unless I win the £50m Euromillions this Friday, of course.
@Ninjakettle: According to Panasonic's press release, "In picture quality, the V series stands at the top of the VIERA 2009 product line." The panel technology and image processing in the V10 and the Z1 are the same. The Z1 is differentiated by speakers, cabinet design, and wireless HDMI. If TR gives the Z1 10/10 for image quality, then the V10 at 1/3rd the price should be a no-brainer! (Although I'd still be interested to see what they write.)
From what i can make out apart from nicer styling and the wireless media box this tv is the same as the V10.
Picture quality is no different. Save your money people this is no Kuro beater.
If you're lucky you may be able to get a 9G KURO for less than half the price of this and it's a 50 incher.
If money is tight you can still get the fantastic V10 for less than a third of the price of the Z1. Panny has dropped a real clanger here!!
I've seen this TV on a few sites and the best price so far is 2k, at this price I would expect the review would have scored higher than 6/10.
One TV in 2009 that may catch the eye of a few people is the new Philips 56PFL9954H. Philips have gone for a 2560x1080 pixel panel with 21:9 format. Not sure if the picture quality will match that of the panny or the KURO and I believe HD films are encoded at 1920x1080 pixels so may be a downside to this TV.
@KDY - where have you seen a Z1 for £2,000?? It's quite a bit more than that.
We have already reviewed the Philips you mentioned: http://www.trustedreviews.c...
Incidentally, KURO's are back in stock (despite being discontinued, which is a bit weird) http://shopping.trustedrevi...
It's on 1st audiovisual but not in stock until 27/07, considering buying one - http://www.1staudiovisual.c...
Nice review, but missed the rantiglare - how is the % of reflektion on this plasma ?
Can one use it in daylight, or is it a night-only TV set ?
I just saw the 46" Z11 in the shop (Z11 is the same tv but w/o the wireless feature which don't need and I don't like the look of the little attachment to the TV). Must admit I was sold by the picture and looks of the TV, my only question is whether Panasonic have made a 'slim' wall mount for the TV to do the slim design justice? (like Samssung have done for their ultra slim LED's)

Leverevolution and New Years Buck
Category: Rifle
Product: 444 Marlin 265 gr FTX® LEVERevolution®
Shooter: JIm
Posted: Feb 5, 2013
On New Year's Day (2013) I decided to go to my farm and try to get a shot at some hogs we had coming in. I was surprised by a very nice eight point whitetail at about 5:30 PM. I was shooting my Marlin Outfitter loaded with 265 grain LEVERevolution .444 ammo. One shot anchored this deer at 92 yards. This was very special due to the fact that my father was born and raised on this farm and this was the first deer I had ever harvested there.
I thank Hornady and Marlin for providing me with the quality equipment I used to harvest this sentimental wall hanger.

Self-reliance, Food Security, and Sustainability
2011-2012 Local Food Audit complete!
Accurate information is now available as to the amount of money campus Dining Services spends on local and regional foods, indcluding WWC meat and produce! Here are the principle results:
WWC Dining Services spent $61,892.57 on local and regional foods in the 2007-2008 fiscal year, comprising just over 12% of its annual budget. This figure includes foods produced and processed in the greater "Upland South-east" which stays within 150 miles on average - at most - from farm to your plate. While at least 50% of the milk served by Dining services originates and is processed within this region, it is not included in the figure. Additionally, the sprouts in Cow Pie ARE included, despite the fact that, while the seeds are sprouted in Tryon, NC, they are produced much further away, even internationally. On that note, here is how the number breaks down:
WWC: $37,224.90 This figure is $2,649.70 more than last year!.
Other local ("Appalachian Grown", or within about 150 miles): $12,841.75
Together, these amount to 8.39% of the total annual budget.
Regional (within 500 miles): $112,750 (estimated)
Organic (none of which is local): $28,963.14

The protesters carried banners denouncing President Abdelaziz Bouteflika as a dictator.
They were angered by a recent court decision to freeze the activities of the largest party in parliament, the National Liberation Front (FLN).
Protesters voiced support for the president's arch-rival, Ali Benflis.
The FLN has divided between a faction supporting President Bouteflika and another backing Mr Benflis, a former prime minister who was sacked last May.
Algerian presidential elections are due to be held in three months.
'No democracy'
FLN deputies and party activists attempted to march from the parliament building at around midday but found their route blocked by riot police.
Mr Bouteflika, elected in 1999 with the backing of the FLN, has not yet officially announced whether he will run again for office.
He had previously worked with Mr Benflis to bolster civilian government against the impact of a decade of Islamist insurgency, and against the old guard in the military, many of whom sought to undermine them both.
But they became increasingly divided over political and economic reforms, with Mr Bouteflika much more cautious, fearing reform could incite military rebellion.

E3 2014: Dragon Age: Inquisition Trailer Has a Good Party
Written Thursday, June 12, 2014 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
EA has released a new trailer for Dragon Age: Inquisition out of E3 2014. It's called Stand together and it's pretty damn good.
"It falls to you and your party of legendary heroes to restore order as you lead the Inquisition. Bonds will form - and some will break - as the campaign for truth takes its toll," says the blurb. "Powerful warriors stand beside you and fight for the fate of a world tearing itself apart."
Dragon Age: Inquisition is out from October 7th. Xbox players will get access to "premier content" first. I've chucked an interview and gameplay vid below too.

Texans Support Legalization of Marijuana
Texans say enough is enough, and it's time to let residents sit back and take a toke if they want.
58% of Texans, according to a new poll by the Marijuana Policy Project, think marijuana should be legal and regulated like alcohol, and more than 60% support removing criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of pot.
"I think that Texans in particular would much rather have this commodity controlled by legitimate businesses, and not be drug cartels," said Morgan Fox, a spokesman for the MPP, which is a national organization which fights for marijuana legalization.
The states of Washington and Colorado legalized marijuana fro adults last fall, and there is no indication of any of the societal problems which opponents of legalization warn would occur with legalization.
"The poll shows that 58% of Texans support legalizing marijuana for adults and regulating it similar to alcohol," Fox said.
Despite recent changes giving police officers the discretion to simply write a ticket for possession of small amounts of marijuana, Texas continues to have some of the country's toughest marijuana laws in the country. Possession of up to two ounces of marijuana can get an individual a year in jail, and penalties are upped under special circumstances, like possession of marijuana near a school.
Fox says Texas police officers have more important things to do.
"Law enforcement officials' time would be better spent addressing violent crimes instead of adults simply possessing marijuana," he said. "No adult should face potentially life altering penalties for using a product which is significantly less harmful than alcohol."
There is no movement in the Texas Legislature toward legalization of marijuana, and measures that would even lighten the penlties have died in committee.

New Lighting
Lighting is a big deal in any home. Aside from the practical purposes of keeping things bright, lighting also adds to your home's decor and says a lot about your personality. At Pottery Barn, there are numerous lighting options so you can bring your own design touches to every room in your home.
Chandeliers add elegance to any room and are a typical choice for large living and dining rooms. Traditional crystal or glass chandeliers glitter on the ceiling over a carefully set dining room table, drawing guests' attention upward to the ceiling. Contemporary designs often feature unusual shapes and materials that stand out. Consider hanging a smaller chandelier in an unexpected place, like a hallway or large master bath, to bring some sophistication to other areas of your home.
Pendant lighting has an eclectic look that allows you to go retro or a little funky and offbeat. Group some lights in different shapes and sizes over a table or bring a rustic touch to the space with some hanging mason jars. Glass decanter pendants recall the past, while iron and metal pendants with candle-like lights provide a contemporary feel. When the holidays approach, incorporate the pendants into your decorating and tie ribbons and bows to their poles.
Floor lamps fit easily in corners and let you brighten up a dark area in any room. Available in different bases and shades, you can mix and match to create the style you want. For your tabletops, choose from a large selection of table lamps that come in a variety of styles. Select lighting options that give your home the look and feel that you want.

Politicians talking science
The proposal to have a presidential science debate has been getting a surprising amount of traction. After ringing up a billion prominent endorsements, the organizers of the proposed debate have now picked a date (April 18) and have sent out invitations to the remaining candidates.
The idea behind Science Debate 2008 is straightforward:
Given the many urgent scientific and technological challenges facing America and the rest of the world, the increasing need for accurate scientific information in political decision making, and the vital role scientific innovation plays in spurring economic growth and competitiveness, we call for a public debate in which the U.S. presidential candidates share their views on the issues of The Environment, Health and Medicine, and Science and Technology Policy.
Curious: what do people think of this?
I'm a bit conflicted, for a few reasons. The first is that I suspect the event will be less enlightening than people hope. Presidential debates consist mainly of sound bites and point-scoring, and this one will likely be no different. Another concern is that science itself may come off badly. The politicization of science is a real problem in the U.S., and it's not hard to imagine a debate exacerbating that problem. Of course, an intelligent choice of format can help a lot here.
I'm not the only one to raise such concerns. But a long list of luminaries feel otherwise, and I confess that I also signed the petition in favor of the debate. Why? Because there are too many issues we simply never hear about. Whatever its chance for success, the science debate seems like a worthwhile experiment.
Your thoughts? (If you're in favor, you can voice support the cause here.)

Source: Browns to interview Jauron for def. coordinator job
The Cleveland Browns have received permission to interview Philadelphia Eagles senior assistant/defensive backs coach Dick Jauron for their defensive coordinator job, a source confirmed. The Browns have not requested to interview any other Eagles assistants as of late Friday morning.
Rob Ryan is still under contract as the Browns defensive coordinator, but it was clear during new head coach Pat Shurmur's news conference Friday that Ryan's job was tenuous at best. Ryan was expected to interview for the vacant Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator job on Friday, the Dallas Morning News reported.
The Browns have been running a 3-4 defensive scheme for several seasons, but Jauron has mostly coached the 4-3.
In other team news, a source confirmed the Browns signed WR Rod Windsor to a future contract. Windsor spent a few weeks on the practice squads of the Browns and Buffalo Bills this season.

After several false starts, Edelstyn stumbled across a distillery that had been seized from his family by the Bolsheviks, which was, incredibly, still in operation. But both the distillery and the local town, Douboviazovka, were struggling to survive. Edelstyn saw a business opportunity that could also revitalise the local economy and broaden the appeal of his film.
"It's been a wonderfully spontaneous path," says Edelstyn. "I'm a storyteller, not a businessman, and I never set out to do this." Let's hope the vodka is as good as his story, because his family survived some of the most turbulent bits of 20th-century history, covering their tracks by crossing borders, changing names and religions.
Edelstyn has been posting episodic footage of these exploits on the Babelgum website, under the title How to Re-Establish a Vodka Empire, and will edit this footage, and more, into a full-length documentary feature to be broadcast on More4 next year. Meanwhile, he's just managed to keep the project afloat with advances, grants and auctioning lots each comprising 1 per cent of equity in the vodka business on eBay. And his fraught life is further complicated by the fact that his chief collaborator, designer and camera operator — his wife, Hilary Powell — has just given birth to their first child, Esmé.
Starting a vodka import business has been a steep learning curve but marketing experts and potential backers in London assured Edelstyn that the novelty of Ukrainian vodka, coupled with the intriguing "backstory", would make it saleable, but only if it also tasted good. There followed several botched attempts to get the recipe right.
He was also advised to lose the fur hat and the "independent documentary film-maker clothes" to convince his conservative countrymen that he meant business. But he has succeeded and is proud that 20 per cent of the profits will be used to create employment in Douboviazovka.
He's still holding his breath as there have been problems with the design of the bottle, the label, the cork and the cork-wrapping and the cardboard boxes, but at last the first batch of Zorokovich 1917 Vodka goes on sale at Selfridges on September 1 at £29.99 a bottle.

I have no idea what the title of this recipe (the title of this post) means. It's bread and it's made with a poolish. I think Pain means bread and a poolish is a liquidy French bread dough starter. That is the extent of my knowledge, anyone who speaks French, please feel free to comment and educate me.
What I do know, is that I love this bread. It bakes up so light and airy, with a slightly chewy crust and a hint of sourness. The bread takes two days to make, but it's hardly any work, or at least hardly any work for me, the bread machine did it all for me. The night before you add water, flour, and yeast to the bread pan. You're actually supposed to let the bread machine knead it for 10 minutes and then stop the machine. I didn't feel like setting a timer and figuring out how to program my machine, so I just let it run through the entire dough cycle and then turned it off and let it sit in the machine overnight. Then the next day, add the dough ingredients, and set the machine for the dough cycle. When the cycle completes, remove the dough, shape and let rise. I use a stoneware baking pan, which is great because it holds the dough as it rises, and then when you bake in it, it's like the bread has it's own little oven.
Since it was so nice and warm outside, I placed the bread out on my back porch to rise. Smudge helped by guarding it for me. You can see that it was exhausting work! Also, I've taken some pictures so you can see how the bread rises in the pan.
This recipe came from my favorite bread machine cookbook, The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook. This book has 300 bread machine recipe! I have lots of them bookmarked to try, so I thought that this would be a perfect opportunity for me to enter Bookmarked Recipes, hosted by Ruth at Ruth's Kitchen Experiments. I have modified the techniques of the recipe, but the ingredient list is the same.
Pain De Maison Sur Poolish
Slightly modified from The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook
by Beth Hensperger
1 cup water
1 1/4 cups organic bread flour
1/4 teaspoon bread machine yeast
1/3 cup water
2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
2 cups organic bread flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon gluten
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
To make the poolish starter, place the water, flour, and yeast in the bread pan. Program for the dough cycle. When complete, unplug machine and let the starter sit in the pan over night.
To make the dough, combine the water and the yeast and stir to dissolve. Add to the starter in the pan. Add the flour, sugar, gluten, and salt. Program the machine for the dough cycle.
When the cycle ends, remove the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape. Place in stoneware baker and let rise in warm location for 45 minutes to one hour, or until almost doubled. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 35 minutes, remove lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

Grades PreK-2
Think First & Stay Safe School Program: Personal Safety Curriculum for Grades PreK-2
The Think First & Stay Safe program strives for a balanced perspective that will preserve as much of the innocence and optimism of childhood as possible. While it is imperative to arm youngsters with personal safety strategies, it is also essential to reassure them that most people are good and kind. Most people help others when the need arises.
Safety Skills Prevent Victimization
By teaching students the importance of treating themselves and others with kindness and respect, we set behavioral expectations and help youngsters recognize inappropriate and unsafe behaviors. Students learn how to set personal boundaries, identify trusted adults and recognize their instincts at work.
While adults are primarily responsible for keeping youngsters healthy and safe, teaching students to Think First & Stay Safe enables them to take an active role in protecting themselves when necessary. Schools provide an ideal environment for reaching every child with positive messages and prevention strategies. Staffed with mandatory reporters, schools provide a nurturing and safe environment for students to disclose incidents of bullying and abuse or to obtain help if having thoughts of mistreating others.
Safety Education Helps Keep Kids Safe
Educators who proactively start personal safety education in Grades PreK-2 are helping to ensure that their students come to school prepared to learn, without the challenges often associated with exploitation that are detrimental to a child's education. Children who learn to differentiate between appropriate and inappropriate behavior, and whose parents support such education, are much less likely to be bullied or otherwise abused.
Peer-to-Peer Abuse
Even students as young as PreK-2 need to understand that in any situation, the victimizer could be another child. Sadly, bullying and relational aggression begin as early as pre-school and usually involves friends. Approximately 30% of sexual abuse is peer-to-peer. Juvenile perpetrators have often been victims of bullying or abuse themselves. Think First & Stay Safe teaches children what to do and say when witnessing or experiencing bullying and other potentially abusive behaviors.
Fostering Self-Esteem
Children with self-confidence are less likely to be victimized or engage in at-risk behavior. Therefore, it is of vital importance to build self-esteem at every opportunity. By nurturing their sense of self-worth, we can instill in children an expectation to be treated with, and to treat others with, respect and dignity. Assuring youngsters of their right to control what happens to their own bodies gives them the confidence to assert themselves with adults or peers who attempt to bully or abuse them.
Family Involvement Is Essential
Parents and caregivers play a critical role in protecting their children from bullying and abuse. Because family involvement is so important to a child's safety, the Think First & Stay Safe program's parent resources offer parents and caregivers the skills and knowledge they need to reinforce the skills their children are learning in school and help keep their children safe.
Meeting and Exceeding Federal Guidelines
The Think First & Stay Safe program aligns with recommendations in the guidelines for personal safety programs established by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
Jennifer Mitchell, Co-President of Child Lures Prevention, was one of eight national child safety experts who served on the Education Standards Task Force at the National Center for Missing and Exploited (NCMEC). The task force, along with NCMEC staff liaisons and supporting agencies, developed the Guidelines for Programs to Reduce Child Victimization: A Resource for Communities When Choosing a Program to Teach Personal Safety to Children.
Teaching Sexual Abuse Prevention: No Evidence of Negative Effects
Some well-meaning educators and parents may worry that discussing personal safety issues will frighten youngsters. These reservations have proven to be unfounded with the Think First & Stay Safe School Program.
Even very young children know some things can be dangerous: moving cars, hot stoves, electrical outlets, swimming unattended, and so forth. Fear of such dangers is nearly always diminished when children are provided with easy-to-understand prevention strategies. The same is true for victimization. In today's media-saturated culture, most kids are well aware that crimes can and do happen to children.
Think First & Stay Safe alleviates fear through continual reassurances that most people are kind and safe individuals who strive for the safety and happiness of children. This idea is reinforced throughout the presentations to ensure that children are empowered rather than frightened.
Overall, studies confirm that personal safety instruction does not produce unintended anxiety or fear. Research also shows that program participants do not subsequently misinterpret nurturing touches or make false accusations of abusive touching or behavior (Wurtele, Kast, Miller-Perrin, & Kondrick, 1989).
Positive Outcomes of Personal Safety Programs
Research shows that preschool and elementary-age children can learn personal safety concepts and skills (Wurtele, Marrs, & Miller-Perrin, 1987; Finkelhor & Strapko, 1992). The most effective programs teach skills over multiple sessions, provide opportunities to practice the skills, and include parental involvement (Davis & Gidycz, 2000; Finkelhor, Asdigian, & Dziuba-Leatherman, 1995).

Parental responsibility and Australian legislative attempts to curb truancy
Dickson, Elizabeth & Hutchinson, Terry C. (2010) Parental responsibility and Australian legislative attempts to curb truancy. In Hodgson, Stephanie (Ed.) The Teaching Profession : Overregulated? (Conference Session 4), The Australia and New Zealand Education Law Association, NSW Teachers Federatoin Conference Centre, Sydney, NSW.
Accepted Version
(PDF 166kB)
Statistical and anecdotal evidence suggests that truancy is a significant problem for Australian schools. This paper considers the efficacy of legislative attempts to curb truancy, focussing in particular on the Queensland experience. Both Queensland legislation and the Commonwealth Improving School Enrolment and Attendance Through Welfare reform Measure (SEAM) pilot program are explained and evaluated. The paper considers in particular the utility of parental responsibility strategies as a response to truancy - under the Education (General Provisions) Act 12006 (Queensland) parents of persistent truants may be prosecuted and fined; under the SEAM initiative parents may have their social security payments suspended. Despite the availability of these seemingly draconian penalties, there is a reluctance, in practice, to hold parents accountable. The paper attempts to explain this reluctance and asks whether parental responsibility legislation can deliver a solution to truancy.

Officials from United Water Conservation District reported that the California Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed the presence of quagga mussels (Dreissenid mussels) at Lake Piru. Quagga mussels are an invasive freshwater mussel that can cause damage to boat motors and clog water intake structures, such as pipes and screens.
Samples of the mussel findings were collected on December 18 and sent to the Bodega Bay marine laboratory for analysis. On December 30, after full DNA testing, the samples were confirmed as quagga mussel. "Lake Piru will continue to operate, providing boating and other recreational opportunities to the public. We are proud of the recreation services we provide," commented Mike Solomon, United Water Conservation District's General Manager. "While we are disappointed with the discovery, as we have been conducting a rigorous boat inspection program for years in an effort to prevent this very development, we will work with state and local agencies to control the presence and spread of the quagga mussels."
The district is currently advising all boaters leaving the lake that they should follow a series of decontamination procedures to prevent further contamination at other bodies of water. These procedures include inspecting all exposed surfaces of watercraft, washing the hull of all watercrafts thoroughly with hot water, cleaning and drying of all live-wells and waiting five days in hot weather and up to 30 days in cool, moist weather before launching a boat in another body of water.
For more information on this matter, please call the Lake Piru Park Services office at (805) 317-8990.

REFILE-Dick's prepares bid for bankrupt retailer Golfsmith's U.S. stores -sources
(Refiling to correct spelling of word 'golf' in 3rd paragraph)
By Jessica DiNapoli
Oct 17 (Reuters) - Dick's Sporting Goods Inc is preparing a bid for the U.S. business of bankrupt Golfsmith International Holdings Inc, challenging an offer by rival retailer Worldwide Golf Shops, people familiar with the matter said on Monday.
While bids for Golfsmith, owned by OMERS Private Equity Inc, the buyout arm of one of Canada's largest pension funds, were due earlier on Monday, Dick's was given an extension until Tuesday morning to submit its offer, the people said.
The bankruptcy auction will the test the value of Golfsmith, which suffered because of competition from discount retailers Wal Mart Stores Inc and Amazon.com Inc, as well as golf's waning popularity among younger customers. Interest in golf has dropped in line with the fading career of star golfer Tiger Woods, who once attracted many young fans to the sport.
Privately-held Worldwide Golf Shops was preparing to submit a bid for Golfsmith on Monday, in partnership with liquidators from Great American Group LLC, one of the people said.
The sources asked not to be identified because the bids were not public. Golfsmith filed for bankruptcy in the United States and Canada last month.
Spokespeople for Dick's, Golfsmith, Worldwide Golf and Great American's parent company, investment bank B. Riley Financial Inc, did not immediately return requests for comment.
A winner will be selected after an auction scheduled for Wednesday. The goal is to close a sale, which a U.S. bankruptcy court judge must approve, before the start of the holiday shopping season. Continued...

SDX Energy's (CVE:SDX) most recent well results from the North West Gemsa field, onshore Egypt, was considerably better than market expectations, says broker Cantor Fitzgerald.
It comes after the Al Amir SE 23 well flowed more than 3,000 barrels of oil per day.
Cantor rates SDX as a 'buy' and with a C$4.00 target price the broker sees some 700% upside to the current price of around 50 Canadian cents.
"This week's well result is particularly significant, not just in the context of volume or quality of oil produced on test, but how the company has consolidated its technical understanding of its Egyptian acreage following the recent merger," analyst Sam Wahab said in a note.
He added: "This week's result was considerably above the market's expectations, with the well expected to be another strong producer from the Shagar zone.
"Drilling costs were 30% lower than previous wells on a comparative basis, making it both a technical and commercial success."
Wahab highlighted that the NW Gemsa operation has production costs of just $5 per barrel, so the new production will be a material boost to the field's economics.
Furthermore, according to Cantor, SDX's production assets are worth C$2.39 per share.
On Monday, SDX revealed excellent well results from the North West Gemsa field, onshore Egypt.
The Al Amir SE 23 well encountered a significant oil bearing reservoirs, in the Kareem Rahmi and Shagar formations. Some 23 feet of oil pay was measured in the Shagar, while 28 feet of pay was measured in the Rahmi.
Production was brought online from the Shagar and during testing flow rates were measured at 3,860 barrels of oil per day with 2.55mln cubic feet of gas per day.
Paul Welch, SDX chief executive, said: "The AASE23 well results were excellent and the well is expected to be another strong producer from the Shagar.
"Drilling costs for the AASE-23 were down by 30%, on a comparative basis with previous wells, making this well both a technical and also commercial success.
"The AASE-23 is the first of two development wells to be drilled in the field this year."
Welch added that the drill rig will now moving on to the next location in the next few days.

If there's one thing that Taylor knows, it's power surfing and using a rail. In a day and age when surfing continues to become more progressive with the 'above the lip' mentality, power surfing has been put on the backburner.
In an effort to instill these qualities back in the youth, Dragon teamed up with Taylor to teach the kids a thing or two about getting back to the roots of surfing...power, style and flow.
In this first gathering, Taylor went over some standard warm-up techniques that ignite key muscles when trying to improve surfing technique and form.
It was a fun morning with a small trickle of south swell in the water. The Boys were ripping!

Power-knowledge and critique in Australian legal education : 1987-2003
James, Nickolas John (2004) Power-knowledge and critique in Australian legal education : 1987-2003. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.
|Nickolas James Thesis (PDF 1MB)
While the word 'critique' appeared frequently in Australian legal education texts between 1987 and 2003, the meaning and the emphasis accorded critique varied widely. Michel Foucault's ideas about the close relationship between knowledge and power provide a theoretical framework within which this inconsistency of meaning and emphasis can be described, analysed and explained. Rather than monolithic, the discipline of legal education was by 2003 a dynamic nexus of distinct and competing discourses: doctrinalism, vocationalism, corporatism, liberalism, pedagogicalism and radicalism. Each of these six discourses was simultaneously a form of knowledge and an expression of disciplinary power within the law school. As a form of knowledge, each discourse accorded critique a different meaning and a different emphasis as a consequence of a range of historical, social and political contingencies. As an expression of power, each discourse was an attempt to achieve a set of objectives including the universalisation of a particular approach to the teaching of law and the enhancement of the status of a particular role within the law school. Critique, in a variety of forms, was a strategy employed by each discourse in order to achieve these objectives and to dominate and displace competing discourses.

Killer 7
Capcom, MA15+, RRP $100. Also PS2, * * * *
Few games will polarise players like this macabre circus of horrors. Wildly creative, pretentious, violent and dazzling, it is a unique experience likely to be equally loved and loathed. Players switch between the multiple personalities of a schizophrenic assassin.
Each character has particular talents, including lock-picking, sniping, stealth and destruction. Firepower ranges from the clinical precision of knife hurling to the explosive carnage of grenade launchers. Your foes are a terrorist army of ghoulish suicide bombers.
The brilliantly stylised comic-book visuals are extraordinary. However, many will tire of the lengthy loading times and protracted dialogue but the script includes clever pop culture references and political commentary.
Playstation 2
Big Mutha Truckers 2
Red Ant, M, RRP $50. Also Xbox, * * ½
Driving an unwieldy semi is never going to be as much fun as a sports car, but big Ma Jackson has decided to keep on truckin'. Players choose from four yokels who pilot their 18-wheeler from one hick town to the next, buying goods and transporting them to the most profitable location to raise enough cash to get Ma out of prison.
The excitement comes from beating strict deadlines, as well as evading cops, biker gangs and even aliens. Side missions include ferrying passengers, causing wanton destruction and driving other vehicles. You can upgrade your diesel guzzler and play entertaining casino games. Causing havoc behind the wheel of a big rig is fun but the novelty quickly wanes and the unsubtle gags often fail to amuse, especially when they are endlessly repeated.
Playstation 2
Fantastic Four
Activision, M, RRP $70. Also Xbox, GameCube, PC, * *
Reversing a recent trend of quality superhero outings (particularly Spider-Man 2), this mediocre romp is a long way from fantastic. It's a repetitive brawl against swarms of mindless foes, with players switching between the four genetically enhanced heroes. You can hurl fireballs as the Human Torch, perform body slams as the Thing, creep past foes as the Invisible Woman and punch far-away villains as the rubber-limbed Mr Fantastic.
Powers can upgrade as you progress and defeating some villains demands the combined talents of each character. There are also basic, dull puzzles. Controls are sloppy and a wayward camera can sometimes frustrate, but it's the lack of originality that will cause most players to yawn. Even co-operative play cannot enliven the action.

The meeting began at 2:35 P.M.
Updates of subcommittees
Masters programs subcommittee
The masters program committee reported that the issues with masters programs are complex, and they have been compounded even more due to ongoing budgetary problems the university is facing.
The subcommittee has compiled a list of questions for departments regarding their masters programs and some departments have been initially approached for information. In response to a question about the connection of masters programs in a department to their other programs, it was pointed out that there are SUNY guidelines for MA programs, and questions about the nature of the programs and their relationship to other programs had to have been answered in the original proposals for such a program.
In an ensuing discussion, there was a question about the number of new students likely to be involved in new terminal MA programs, and how they will be integrated into graduate programs in the university. Apparently, there are some departments that accept MA students from other departments into their courses, but that is a matter of collegial courtesy rather than any formal policy.
There was some concern expressed about the cost of such programs. While it is intended that the tuition for the students in the program would be used to support new MA programs, and Provost Kaler has indicated that 55% of these funds would be given to the departments that establish such programs, there was concern about start-up costs. However, Provost Kaler has indicated that start-up funds for these programs will be available. The actual base from which the 55% will be calculated is likely to be based on BAP II formula that uses a matrix of level of students and complexity of programs that determines that part of budget allocations that ensue from enrollments.
Another issue that was raised had to do with the relationship of any new MA programs to the MA programs that are part of SPD. Basically, there are two kinds of MA programs in SPD: one is tied to NYS teacher certification and the other is the MALS. Most new MA programs will have a disciplinary focus that will likely not be in conflict with the MALS; however, some attention needs to be paid to possible conflict of these new disciplinary-based MA programs with the existing MA programs for teacher certification through SPD.
When the question was raised as to whether the MA students can take undergraduate courses, it was pointed out that there is a SUNY policy that undergraduate courses cannot count for graduate credit unless the courses are cross-listed. Graduate students can, however, take these courses to satisfy prerequisites.
The Masters subcommittee indicated that it will meet with SPD, the CAS dean, and the Provost to obtain answers to the questions that were raised.
Reporting structures and budget subcommittee
Here the discussion followed a handout prepared by Larry Wittie. He
is working on processing a large (16,554 line) spreadsheet. Based on the data he has already received, Larry was able to answer a number of the questions he had originally formulated; however, there are two questions still outstanding:
1) There is "missing money" in some accounts. How can that be explained?
2) What is the procedure to get RF funding for departments?
It was mentioned that some units are shifting state funds to their IFR accounts to protect them from budget cuts and in other cases, there seems to be an effort to "spend" IFR funds (lent from one office to another) since NYS may be looking to cut uncommitted IFR funds. Larry Wittie indicated that he will look for IFR information in the database he has.
Southampton subcommittee
There is some question about whether the funds allocated to Stony Brook from SUNY for the Southampton campus is actually segregated into a separate account as CAPRA has been previously told. The subcommittee needs clarification on this point as well as to what activities the Southampton budget is actually allocated.
Mary Pearl has been appointed Dean and Vice President of Southampton. However, there are some questions about this appointment that the subcommittee will have to explore: How exactly is that position defined? Who does this position answer to? One would expect that a Dean reports to the Provost, but a Vice President usually reports to the President. Given the confusion over the structure of this appointment, it is not clear what the reporting mechanism is for different facets of the programs at Southampton. This is another issue that requires follow-up by the subcommittee.
College of Business subcommittee
Things are in limbo in this college because the search for a Dean has been held up. The new president will have a lot of latitude in this search and in defining the college.
CAPRA's previously expressed concern that there are too few full-time, research faculty to receive accreditation and that the lack of accreditation is detrimental to our students was reiterated in the discussion.
There was also some discussion of the relationship between the College of Business and other departments on campus, particularly the Economics Department, which is key in any College of Business. It was suggested that the subcommittee meet with Joe McDonald and ask him what needs to be done to keep the College afloat during these difficult upcoming years and what planning does he have in mind for the long term development of the College.
Other business
Norm reported that President Kenny is planning a Town Hall Meeting next Wednesday from 1:00 to 2:00 on the current budget situation and what we can do to advocate for a restoration of the some of the budget cuts that NYS is planning for SUNY. She will announce the meeting to the campus community via an e-mail message in the next day or two.
The meeting ended at 4:05 P.M.
