Featured Ingredient: Peaches
Peaches are considered a stone fruit because of their stone-like pits. Their orange hue hints at significant levels of beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A and uses for healthy eyes, bones and immune system. Peaches are also a good source of the antioxidant vitamin C and blood-pressure lowering potassium. As one of my favorite summertime treats, I'll be sad to seem them vacate our farmers' market in the next couple weeks.
For me, just as delightful as biting into a ridiculously juicy peach is sinking your teeth in to a peach studded muffin. I had some sour cream in the fridge that needed to be put to use before a looming expiry date, so I finally got around to making some peach sour cream muffins I have been craving for some time. Often a concern with muffins is that they could turn out too dry. Well, these had no issues with that as the fruit and cream teamed up to produce a very moist muffin. I included coconut flour which I have discussed before to add interesting texture and unique coconut sweetness, but if you don't have it on hand simply use straight up whole wheat flour or blend in another flour of choice. Wheat germ also ups the health ante.
I'm usually not a big fan of peeling fruits and vegetables because in many cases a lot of the nutrients, fiber and antioxidants are found in those outer layers. But in this instance, you should really peel your peaches. To do so, simply prepare a small pot of simmering water. Score an X in the bottom of the peaches, drop them in the water and let simmer for about 20 seconds. Remove peaches with a slotted spoon and the skin will lift right off from the bottom.
These may look frumpy, but your taste buds won't care about appearances. I have to give a shout out to my girlfriend Tabi as she took my recipe and made these a reality despite my unwelcome presence in the kitchen.
Possible recipe variations:
Replace sour cream with yogurt
Top batter with sliced almonds before baking
Swap out wheat germ for quick-cook oats
Replace peaches with mango or nectarine
Sour Cream Peach Muffins
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/3 cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/4 cup melted coconut oil or other oil of choice
1 1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup palm or other sugar of choice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3 large peaches, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup golden raisins (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine flours, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves and salt. In a separate large bowl, lightly beat egg. Stir in oil, sour cream, honey, sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract. Make a well in the dry ingredients, pour the wet mixture in and mix gently. Fold in peaches and raisins. Divide batter among 12 medium sized muffin cups and bake for 25 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Let cool before unmolding.

I'd just like to congratulate the competitors, because you're all winners--unless of course you didn't win a national title in your particular category, in which case you're a total loser.
Also, hands up everybody who went on and on about what tire pressure and tread pattern they "ran" during the race, even if you were a total non-factor just like in every other race you did during the season. Okay, let's see: one, two, ten, yeah, everybody.
There is nothing more tedious in cycling than listening to a mediocre cyclocross racer opine about optimal equipment setup.
Yet they all do it.
All of them.
Hey, if you're deeply interested in whether tubular or tubeless is the better setup for the B race in the vacant lot behind the shopping mall then good for you, but I'd much rather "geek out" on more important cycling matters, like riding while pregnant:
The official line from the NHS is clear cut – cycling is a definite no-no. The NHS website contains a list of sports to avoid, and cycling is included alongside horse riding, downhill skiing and gymnastics. The reason? All these activities have "a risk of falling".
Yes, cycling while pregnant is a "no-no" here in Canada's unkempt pubic thatch too (and probably in Canada for that matter), mostly because we're a safety-obsessed culture that is completely delusional about what is actually safe, and nobody has figured out how to get a helment onto a fetus yet. You know what's perfectly acceptable while pregnant though? Hurtling along an expressway in an easily-flippable SUV at 75mph. No risk of falling there, of course.
Of course, most enlightened people realize that riding a bicycle while pregnant is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, and to that end the above article gives some good advice--though it neglects to point out that as your pregnancy progresses you might be much more comfortable on a recumbent:
In fact, in bicycle-friendly countries such as the Netherlands it's perfectly normal to deliver your child while cycling on a dedicated "birthing bicycle:"
Meanwhile, in Portland, bicycle water births are increasingly common, and "velo-doula" is rapidly overtaking barista as the number one occupation in that city:
Most mothers who have bicycle water births do so at home, but increasing numbers are opting for bars and popular brunch spots.
Speaking of safety, here in New York City, the whole "Vision Zero" thing is so far still an empty mayoral campaign promise:
Everytime someone is killed in traffic while de Blasio is mayor, we will use a twitter campaign to remind him of his promise to achieve Vision Zero by 2024 and let him know if he is on course to fulfill that promise.
Don't get too exited about how the cyclists are doing either, since the only reason for the zero is that first two weeks of 2014 consisted of a blizzard followed by a polar vortex, which meant that the only cyclists out there were the ones who know better than to follow traffic laws.
Yes, ironically, following traffic laws on your bicycle in New York City can be dangerous--but not as dangerous as simply standing in a Popeyes:
No criminality suspected, but deliciousness was confirmed.

Nursing homes say they struggle under state budget plans
ST. PAUL – Jon Riewer said his organization faces funding shortages, losing employees and struggling to provide care to the elderly and disabled.
"At this point I would classify our situation as fairly desperate," said Riewer, CEO and president of Moorhead-based Eventide Senior Living Communities.
Riewer said Eventide is not alone among nursing home and other care facilities and state lawmakers' budget proposals for health and human services do not help them with the dilemma.
"It's hard not to feel like one of the most important things we can do as a state is protect our seniors, but we very much feel like we're at the bottom of the food chain," Riewer said.
Democratic legislative leaders set a budget target that cuts about $150 million from the two-year, $11 billion health and human services budget.
House HHS finance committee Chairman Tom Huntley, DFL-Duluth, said he tried to find a way to increase pay for caregivers despite cuts he was ordered to make.
"I'm very concerned about the rapid turnover," Huntley said, noting pay is a significant factor for long-term care employees. "We've been cutting way too long."
His plan would give nursing home employees a one-time 3 percent raise and other long-term care employees a 2 percent raise. The Senate version includes an overall 2 percent raise.
"From my perspective, it's too little too late," Riewer said.
Advocate groups propose a 5 percent increase each year of the two-year budget.
"We have such a huge gap to make up," said Gayle Kvenvold, Aging Services of Minnesota president and CEO.
Huntley said that is too much money given the budget targets.
"To me and many of my rural Republican colleagues, this is unacceptable and we are going to try our best to right this wrong," Sen. Gary Dahms, R-Redwood Falls, said.
He said he would support the 5 percent increases.
Huntley said he understands the concern that qualified employees are not staying at care facilities.
"Basically they can walk down the street to Walmart and make about the same wages and do probably an easier job," he said.
The pay issue coupled with cuts and other factors are putting nursing homes at risk, said Patti Cullen, Care Providers of Minnesota president and CEO. She said facilities throughout the state are struggling.
"Really, as you look across the state, the risk of closure and job loss is pretty evenly distributed," Kvenvold said, adding out of about 380 nursing homes in the state, an estimated 115 are in financial crisis, putting about 15,000 jobs at risk. Northwest Minnesota has the most struggling facilities, she said.
"Facilities caring for our elderly and developmentally disabled are among our top employers and many won't be able to stay open if these cuts are approved," Dahms said.
Revenue options are limited for nursing homes because state officials must approve nursing home rates.
Sen. Tony Lourey, DFL-Kerrick, has proposed making nursing home residents pay a surcharge, which could raise about $16 million in the next two years. Kerrick has a plan to funnel funds back to the organizations.
Cullen said she is in favor of extra program funding, but all facilities might not benefit equally from that charge.
"If all the surcharge money doesn't come back to boost our programs then it doesn't really become a surcharge, it becomes a tax," she said.
Health and human services spending is second only to public school funds in the state's about $38 billion budget.
The area has seen cuts in the past, Kvenvold said, so she was surprised it came up again.
"It's always hard to cut spending," Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk, DFL-Cook, said. "It's an area of the budget that under current law is simply growing unsustainably."
Kvenvold said the state needs to invest in senior services and care.
"Minnesota is aging," she said. "We need to address the demographics and we need to do it in this coming biennium. We need to be ready."
"There's no way to stop the increase in HHS costs because of the age wave," Sen. Kent Eken, DFL-Twin Valley, said.
Huntley said he hopes the budget still could increase, possibly in a conference committee where the differences between Senate and House versions would be ironed out. The governor's budget proposal included an increase, and Huntley and Eken said that could influence discussions.
Eken said to make that happen, other areas of the budget might have to be trimmed, there might be new revenue or some combination. He said it will be difficult, but is possible.
"That's where there is some hope," he said.

Is there anything more to be said about Justice Antonin Scalia's sulphurous comments about homosexuality, which prompted a gutsy student at Princeton University to confront the voluble jurist this week about his rhetoric? One thing at least: Scalia's discomfort with the idea that there is such a thing as a gay or lesbian person.
The quotations from Scalia opinions that so dismayed Princeton freshman Duncan Hosie all referred to homosexual conduct. For example, in a 1996 case the majority of the court held that voters in Colorado had exhibited "animus" toward gays by making it impossible for the state or municipalities to pass laws protecting them from discrimination. Scalia responded: "I had thought that one could consider certain conduct reprehensible — murder, for example, or polygamy, or cruelty to animals — and could exhibit even 'animus' toward such conduct." In his dissent Scalia did refer to "homosexuals" (he assiduously avoided the word "gay" except in quoted material), but he used that term interchangeably with "those who engage in homosexual conduct."
And what of the notion of "sexual orientation"? Scalia did acknowledge in his Colorado opinion that such a thing might exist. For example, he wrote that it was permissible for states to criminalize homosexual conduct (as it was in 1996) "surely it is rational to deny special favor and protection to those with a self avowed tendency or desire to engage in the conduct. In the next sentence he suggests that "'homosexual-orientation' is an acceptable stand-in for homosexual conduct."

Last chance for photographers to enter the 2013 Image Quest
There are just under six weeks left before submissions close for the Red Bull Illume Image Quest, the world's largest action and adventure sport photography contest. Photographers have until the end of April 2013 to submit their shots for a chance to earn a coveted spot amongst the top 50 finalists.
The overall Red Bull Illume winner will receive the new Leica S camera, while category winners will each receive a Leica X2. Other prizes will include broncolor's new Move, their portable flash, and the latest strap system from Sun-Sniper.
For the first time, it can now be revealed that each of the 10 category winners plus the overall winner will be unveiled in a grand ceremony in the city of Hong Kong. With its iconic skyline and burgeoning cultural scene, the buzzing city offers the perfect backdrop and starting point for the first exhibition — and provides even more incentive to take part! The top 50 images (the top 5 images in each of the 10 categories) will then travel around the world's capitals and metropolitan hubs as a unique and stand-alone night-time photo exhibition. More details will be announced on redbullillume.com in the coming months.
"Red Bull Illume is a fantastic project and gives photographers the chance to show their talent to the entire world!" says Angélique De Weerd, art director at Menzo magazine and member of the Red Bull Illume judging panel.
To date, thousands of images have been submitted from all over the world. However, organizers are keen to ensure that great images are not left sitting idle in laptops and are encouraging all photographers to sift through their photo albums for any overlooked images. There are nearly six weeks till submissions close so there is still plenty of time to head out over the weekend and capture that winning shot!
The contest consists of 10 categories: lifestyle, playground, energy, spirit, close up, wings, sequence, new creativity, experimental and illumination. A team of judges — photo editors from prominent international publications — will select 50 finalist images, including 10 category winners and the overall winner.
Photographers can enter their images online at redbullillume.com. Submissions close on April 30th, 2013.

HOUSTON -- Houston rookie outfielder Brandon Barnes has hit for the cycle against the Seattle Mariners.
Barnes hit a solo homer in the second inning and had a run-scoring triple in the fourth on Friday night. He singled in the sixth inning and completed the cycle with a sharp groundball double down the right-field line in the eighth inning.
It is the eighth time an Astro has hit for the cycle and the first time since Luke Scott did it on May 28, 2006, against Arizona.
The center fielder is the first right-handed hitter to accomplish the feat since Craig Biggio did it on April 8, 2002, at Colorado.
Barnes pumped his fist after he beat the throw into second base on his double.

Written by Luis Hergueta for Buljan & Partners Consulting
This is quite obvious in many areas in life but it is not always considered in terms of companies. I was once asked: how long does it take to do this?", and I answered: "well, it depends on your processes" (CRM mentality, of course).
And for sure processes involve people, time, resources, choices…. All of this we deal every day with. So the more parties you have in a decision, the longer it takes to decide. Many parties might enrich the final decision / project, but maybe not.
How many emails do you receive a day so that you are informed about all actions being taken in your company? So either you are in a communication overload regardless of the company size or the company is just too big not allowing you to see more than you can read.

Rams Fall in Skyline Semifinals at Ramapo
Ramapo College - 15, Farmingdale State - 10
Mahwah, N.J. - The Farmingdale State women's lacrosse team fell, 15-10, at Ramapo College in the Skyline Conference Semifinals. The Rams finished the season with an 8-7 overall record.
Farmingdale took an early 2-1 lead as junior attack Justine Rothar* (Levittown, N.Y./Division Ave.) scored an unassisted goal 1:30 into the game. Ramapo answered with six consecutive goals, three by freshman attack Adriana Tependino (Freehold, N.J./Freehold), to take a 7-2 lead late in the first half. Freshman midfielder Emily Williams (Centerport, N.Y./Harborfields) pulled the Rams within four as she scored an unassisted goal with 7:56 remaining in the half. Farmingdale State went into halftime trailing 7-3.
Rothar and Williams netted a goal apiece early in the second half, to cut the deficit to 7-5. Tependino scored four seconds later, increasing Ramapo's lead to 8-5.
Farmingdale trailed 12-7 before Williams scored a free position goal with 15:44 remaining in the contest. Sophomore attack Amanda Barretta (Roseland, N.J./West Essex) scored back-to-back goals for the Roadrunners, increasing the lead to six and putting the game out of reach for Farmingdale.
Williams and Rothar each had four goals for the Rams, while freshman defender Victoria Perullo (Floral Park, N.Y./Floral Park) and senior attack Kathy Waite* (Levittown, N.Y./Division Ave.) each scored once. Waite picked up three ground balls and had a team-high five draw controls.
Ramapo was led by Barretta who had a game-high six goals and Tepedino who scored five and had one assist. Junior attack Jenna Pfarr (Cranford, N.J./Cranford) had five draw controls for the Roadrunners.

After the recession hit, cautious Americans were not exactly running to break out the fishing tackle box and shell out cash for a new boat. In fact, new boat sales plunged about 55 percent as boaters scaled back their spending and bought pre-owned models instead.
But as the winter boat show season began in New York City on Jan. 4, manufacturers and dealers have reason to be optimistic. Consumers appear to be testing the boat-buying waters again, and industry officials predict new boat sales will have ended 2011 higher for the first time in five years.
Because industry sales are still slow, this could be an ideal time to take a dip in the market.

Robin Hood tax
Robin Hood tax for the rich
What do Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling and Robin Hood have in common?
Quite a lot according to the latest number crunchers at the Institute for Fiscal Studies
As we can see from the charts above from the Independent, Financial Times, Guardian, Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail, all sourced from the IFS, that the three consecutive Labour governments have redistributed our wealth, from the very rich, to the very poor
At the Telegraph, the hardest part of the chart was choosing the right terminology
Transforming data into information, hard wonk speak into words that you and I can understand
He fares best from the above chartery?
Only you can judge... please do
7 comments:
Well, its got to be between the Independent and the Telegraph. Both have relevant figures (incomes) that mean something to the general reader, unlike the others that just state 'poorest - richest' or 'Income decile group' , leaving the reader having to do more research to finding out where they stand in the groupingsReplyDelete
I think they are much of a muchness and for me they all miss the interesting point, namely how many people were affected in each category. The Telegraph headline that went with it mentions 10 million families losing out but there could be 25 million gaining - the graph doesn't show you one way or the other. The numbers gaining are the important bit, not the percentage gain, in an election year.ReplyDelete
The Daily Mail deserves a special mention for not only having no figures at all, bar the scale, but having the shiniest money pile. Lovely
Using the percentages as the dominant visual element (yes, lifted directly from a press-handout) obscures the much more interesting absolute numbers.ReplyDelete
The 'real' numbers are even in there at the top in the Independent. Look - The people in decile group 2 and 3 made a lot more than the poorest people. So I end up not trusting these graphics at all - I sense that they are made for political reasons with no real desire to serve me as the reader.
Also the fact, that the two papers who actually tries to put the household income in there, do so with different numbers is a bit discomforting ...
Looking again I see that the Guardian left off a bar entirely - the richest, on the right hand side. An oversight?ReplyDelete
Well pointed out Ciaran - the money piles are Indeed, very shineyReplyDelete
The bar at the ultimate right isn't really part of the same dataset with household income split in decile groups. That's why it's number eleven ;-)ReplyDelete
The +100K is more like a bonus-category to make sure to drive home a certain point - that the richest have lost the most under Labour.
GKN, you're right. I Wonder why the Guardian would make an editorial decision not to show that as their paper would be the one that most agreed with that policy.ReplyDelete
Your blog is excellent by the way.

Immokalees Roberts Center is just such a place for local seniors. The building, located on Roberts Ave., is now rented from the county from Goodwill. Supervisor Heidi Fahnesock has been on the job with Collier County ... Human and Veterans Services for ve years. Her job is to oversee all four community sites (Immokalee, Golden Gate, East Naples Goodlette) as well as home delivery of meals totaling some 300 clients. At this time, the search is on for a new Immokalee site coordinator to keep things running on a day-to-day basis. Anyone interested can go on line to Colliergov.net to apply. The center is open to everyone the only requirement is that the client be 60 years of age or older. but the average client is a 70-yearold woman. Breakfast is served at 8:30 and lunch at 11:15 Monday through Friday except on national holidays, Meals meet nutritional standards set by the Department of Elder Affairs through the Older Americans Act. The meals served at the center are extremely important to Immokalee seniors. For some its the only meal they get every day. But the center is much more than a place for a good hot meal. Regular activties reach out to engage seniors and include dancing, always popular bingo, arts and crafts and speakers on topics of concern to seniors, like nutritional and safety. To help them through the rest of the week, and days when they arent able to come to the center, clients may take home bags of bread and pastries, donated from Collier Harvest.

She went from Oklahoma to Texas before making it to Immokalee in 1968 with her family for work. Josie Medrano has worked at the center kitchen for four years and enjoys meeting different people.
The center is open from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. and can easily serve clients speaking either Spanish or Creole. For speakers of other languages, staff will make accommodations as necessary. When they rst come to the center, clients are assessed to gain basic information for the program's data base. This information is con dential and is used for statistical purposes. The Roberts Center is available for seniors in crisis. If they don't have enough money to buy food, they may be referred to the Guadalupe Center for food stamps, etc. They may also get the means for medical referrals. Remaining socially active is important for people of all ages. The Immokalee site offers services and a friendly getaway for its 60 or so clients. With budget cuts, Heidi said they cannot take on any more clients at this time. Any newcomers must be placed on a waiting list until the nancial picture improves. Counseling is available to help clients manage conditions like diabetes, a very common condition for many seniors. A registered dietician on contract to guide these clients has helped a lot of people with their condition, Heidi said. Many have even lost weight simply through eating properly. She added that diabetes is the Number 1 most common health issue prevelant in Immokalee's elders. At the Roberts Center, part of their mission is to try to improve the health of their clients. The Roberts Center is manned by one staff member with three workers employeed by Experience works, a Department of Elder Affairs program which pays workers 50 years of age or older a minimum wage. "It's a wonderful program," Heidi said, adding that Experience Works provides the training for its employees. "They are amazing how they help out here," she said of the workers at the center. She remains awed by the senior programs saying, "To us it's so little, but to a lot of the clients it's life or death for them. They're not idle now, they exercise their body and brain. It's preventive." She added that many of the clients have been coming for a long time. It's evolved into an "integrated, tight-knit group," She said that daily she's amazed at ho w little people get by on how they can be happy with very little. "Their prioroities are their relationships. They help each other," she said. For instance, one lady cooks for herself and her neighbors, often they share garden vegetables, rides and make hospital visits. 2 Immokalee Bulletin August 29, 2013 To Reach UsMailing Address: P.O.

Tensions have run high lately in Lee County following controversial statements made by the sheriff dismissing locals' fury over the Trayvon Martin verdict. Recently, too, the local NAACP chapter has pushed to have the large portrait of Confederate Army commander Robert E. Lee, seen by many as an icon of early U.S. apartheid, removed from the chambers of the county commission. Other community leaders have decried the "at-large" system for elections to the Lee County commission and school board, a remnant of Jim Crow-era practices that have historically excluded African-Americans from power in local decision-making. Lee is the largest county in the state to cling to the archaic system. At a rally following the march, Grey Torrico of Collier County Neighborhood Stories Project, which works extensively in Immokalee, exclaimed, "You don't have to be an immigrant to care about immigrant justice! As Dr. King said, A threat to justice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.'" She was accompanied by members of the Remember November caravan, a delegation of farmworkers from across Florida criss-crossing the state to visit 27 congressional districts in order to press for immigration reform. Valentin Barajas, a representative of the caravan, told those gathered that 72% of people in a recent survey support broad measures to provide rights and protection from deportation for undocumented immigrants in the U.S. Larry Aguilar, a Lehigh Acres resident who until recently served as president of the local chapter of LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens), announced his candidacy for the House District 79 and spoke passionately in both Spanish and English of the need for justice. The Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) arrived fteen-people strong to the event, and staff member Gerardo Reyes Chavez artfully linked the civil rights movement in the South during the 1950s and 60s to current efforts to eliminate human rights violations and poverty in Florida's tomato industry. He spoke of the potential for transformation through the Fair Food Program, a collaboration between 90% of the state's tomato industry, such as leading Immokalee growers Paci c and Lipman, and eleven multi-billiondollar retailers like McDonald's, Burger King and Subway. The Fair Food Program, which was recently praised by the White House and United Nations, addresses labor rights and seeks to compensate harvesters more justl y for their labor. "Many types of abuses occur in this country against people of color ... The struggles that we carry on today are made possible by our predecessors in the civil rights movement. Together, we are the architects of a new reality, and it is our duty to try to achieve it. If we work together, we will see that dream realized," Reyes Chavez said. Carmen Esquivel of Immokalee also attended the rally together with her two sons, Noe and Jaime. She, like Reyes Chavez, re ected on the nationally-recognized changes underwa y in Florida's tomato industry due to the Fair Food Program: "Today under the light of a new day, all of us, united in a shared sentiment, will create change. Together, with the CIW and the support of allies, at long last our agricultural town enjoys the fruits of the fortitude that our struggle has built, such that our golden dream for our children, as well as the children of future generations -to live in equality -might be made a reality. And in defending that new future, our struggle will continue onward." Resident Jerri Ware, who recalls in her youth riding a segregated bus to college in Tallahassee and having to use the back door of Ft Myers's restaurants on account of her race, reiterated that activism is crucial to overcoming injustice. She speci cally denounced new Florida legislation aimed at making voting more dif cult, measures supported by Gov. Rick Scott that she argued will disproportionately affect Black and Latino voters "We can't let the state take away our vote when we had to ght to get it in the 1960s. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, and so we've got to squeak!"

What all this means to average drivers on Collier County roadways is that traf c signals w ill be preempted while assisting emergency responders through intersections, and there may be delays in getting green time in the direction some drivers want to go. Therefore, if you happen to see a ashing w hite light on top of the traf c signal mast arm as you are waiting at a traf c signal, anticipate that a re or emergency medical service vehicle has been given priority. If by chance, you are ever on the receiving end of the emergency responders, you can be thankful that the Emergency Vehicle Preemption is in place to assist. More information is available on the county's website at www.colliergov.net/ emergencyvehiclepreemption. The website includes a video that further explains the EVP Program and the con rmation beacons. Currently there are three signalized intersections that have the con rmation beacons in place. Those intersections are: Pine Ridge Road/Airport-Pulling Road; Pine Ridge Road/Naples Boulevard; and U.S. 41/ Southwest Boulevard. The Transportation Engineering Department has been working with the Emergency Medical Services and the Fire control and Rescue Districts that participate in the EVP Program to prioritize where the next con rmation beacons should be placed. The photo below shows a con rmation beacon attached to a traf c signal mast arm.

Road Watch by Maribel De ArmasIt's week number two of the new 2013-2014 school year and students have been working hard to shake off the summer haze and get into their busy school day routines. From what I hear, everyone's been acclimating quite well! As an extension of the rst day of school stories from last week's column, there's one more I'd like to share with you. This one comes from Pinecrest Elementary School rst grade teacher Cindy Sans and it describes the anxious excitement of the rst day so very well. "The rst day of school is always an anxious time for any teacher. I planned and shopped and worked many hours to get everything ready. I was excited to meet my new students, but there was still a nervous edge. That all went away as soon as I saw their beaming faceswell, most of them were smiling. They looked around to nd their names on desks. Some looked scared, until they found their names and then they smiled from ear to ear. They proudly took out any supplies they had and looked around to see who they knew. One boy cried and wanted to go home. When Mom and Dad left, he hugged me and stayed at my side holding on for a while. After a half hour, he was sitting and talking and writing, and most importantly, smiling! At the end of the day, students told me It was a thumbs up day!' I loved the class building game when we talked about our favorite ice cream avors.' When I came here I had a smile on my face because it was my rst day of rst grade!'" I sense a themesmiling! And with the start of the school year also comes the start of student achievement, in both the academic and extracurricular areas. This week we congratulate the Immokalee High School (IHS) Special Olympians who had an outstanding showing at the Collier County Special Olympics Bowling Tournament held at Woodside Bowling Lanes on August 24th. Not only did they rack up the ribbons, but they quali ed for the area tournament to be held in Bradenton on September 28th. Congratulations and good luck IHS Indians! Finally, I want to make sure you mark your calendars for two important meetings that will be coming your way in September and October. On September 26th, our Superintendent, Dr. Kamela Patton, will be hosting a Town Hall Meeting at the Immokalee Technical Center (iTECH) from 6 to 7 p.m. This will be the second in the series of six Superintendent's Town Hall Meetings being held this year.

The Board of Directors of the Healthcare Network of Southwest Florida recently announced the selection of Mike Ellis as new President and Chief Executive Of cer of the Healthcare Netw ork. Formerly Director of Medical Operations for the Healthcare Network, Ellis replaces Richard Akin, who has been appointed CEO of Integral Health Plan, a Medicaid health plan sponsored by Healthcare Network. "I am thrilled to pass the baton to Mike," said Akin, who has led the Healthcare Netw ork for nearly 35 years. "He was the unanimous choice of the Healthcare Network board and I enthusiastically support their decision. I am con dent in Mike's abilities and excited for the future of the Healthcare Network." Retiring from the Network is former Vice President and Chief Operating Of cer Steve W einman, who served the Healthcare Netw ork for over 29 years. "During the past several years, we recruited some very talented professionals," Weinman said. "They have the ability to move the organization to the next level." Under the leadership of Akin and Weinman, the Healthcare Network has grown from two trailers housing a small clinic for migrant farm workers in Immokalee to an innovative healthcare provider serving 45,000 people, annually, from 13 locations throughout Collier County. Akin and Weinman both plan to remain active in the rapidly changing healthcare industry. "In the early years we were growing by leaps and bounds. The opportunities came so fast that Richard and I could barely keep up," Weinman said. "Now it's time to use the lessons learned to help others in creating the next generation of Health Center advocates." In addition to the Healthcare Network, Akin has been active in other healthcare initiatives in Florida and around the state, serving on the boards of directors for Lee Memorial Health System, the Everglades Area Health Education Center and the Florida Association of Community Health Centers. He is also on the Board of Directors of Ronald McDonald House Charities and is a Legacy Leader with the Naples Area Chamber of Commerce. Ellis has over 35 years of healthcare management, having served as executive director of the Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida for seven years and 20 cumulative years executive experience with Family Health Centers of Southwest Florida; University Hospital, the University of Florida af liate in Jacksonville, FL; Nemours Children's Clinic in Jacksonville, FL and St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Dayton, OH. "I am truly humbled and honored to follow in Richard's considerable footsteps," said Ellis. "I look forward to carrying forward the great progress the Network has made in bringing high quality health care to the people of Collier County." As founder of Integral Quality Care, Akin has served as its chairman since its inception in 2009. Integral currently has 37,000 members throughout the state and is the leading Medicaid Health Plan in Collier County. "I am excited about the opportunity to focus my efforts on the growth of Integral," said Akin. "This effort is vital because it can provide a new revenue stream to help meet the growing needs of Healthcare Networ k in serving the people of Collier County. An y savings that we achieve will stay in our community." florida.newszap.com Check out these new features: Daily Local News Updates New interactive and easy to navigate format Plus much, much more!Come see for yourself!

The First Street Zocalo when nished, will have walkways, shaded areas, park benches and a bandstand overlooking a grassy mini-meadow. The Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) approved the preliminary design plans last spring and Naples architect David Corban and renowned landscape architext Ellen Goetz have been putting together the nal plans for the past few months. Bids for the construction of the project are due at the end of August. The design includes a variety of native plants along with the walkways, seating areas and band shell garden. Collier County Commissioners approved the purchase of the two lots at the corner of Immokalee's First Street and Main Street in 2012 and awarded the plaza design contract to Corban in January. Together with a companion gathering spot at Main and 9th Street, the plazas serve as linchpins of the Immokalee Public Realm Plan which won the 2010 Award of Merit from the Florida Planning & Zoning Association.

text: CNBC reporter Jim Goldman claims that a source close to Apple's Asian contract manufacturer knows precisely when Apple will launch the long desired 3G iPhone. Clear your calendars for the month of June '08, the date of iPhone 3G's arrival. This news, if you can call it that, comes as little surprise since the existence of a 3G iPhone was confirmed by none other than Apple itself. But this source, if accurate, dashes any hopes such a product will reveal itself at MacWorld in January. Was anyone really expecting Apple to obsolete the current model in under 6 months? Apple churns out new iPhone models like Mocha Lattes at Starbucks, but in a new iPhone release in such a short period isn't realistic, especially given that iPhone hasn't fully propagated among international carriers.

Mike,I originally calculated a weight of water based on a 25-pound bag of Power flour and a hydration of 65% and got 16.25 pounds of water. A gallon of water weighs 8.345 pounds. So, in gallons, it is 1.95 gallons, or 2 gallons rounded off. I couldn't clearly make out the second photo with the caps missing but if you are correct then your numbers look to be close and would suggest the use of a 25-pound bag of flour. Remember, also, that a 25-pound bag of flour doesn't weigh exactly 25 pounds. It can be off a quarter pound either side. Peter
Peter, ..... I'm might be wrong but I think the hydration could be somewhere around 60%-62% suggesting he might use a flour of greater weight than 25lbs for a batch.
Norma, thanks for those links. I had no idea that Guy was there so long to film such a short segment. I suppose it takes a long time in TV Land to get things done correctly. Or maybe Guy was so hungry he stayed to eat pizza all day! I think that might be the case because after that in the next episode it looks like he put on a few pounds. LOL, J/K. In all seriousness, thanks for posting those links. I wasn't aware of how long he took. I did not listen to that radio interview or click on those links but I am going to now. Nice detective work Norma. Edited my response - I just saw the photos and listened to the interview. It was great. Seems like this is Guy's fave pizza on the west coast. Thanks much Norma.
I think the photo with the stove next to the oven is from his other location. Check out the gallery:http://pizzerialuigi.com/gallery.html
Norma & Peter,It is a Blodgett. This pic was taken from the gallery where they filmed the video...
Another thing that struck me in terms of the hydration was that whenever I have used a higher value the individual dough balls were somewhat flat and not as puffy and domed like you see in the pic below.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY Opens 23 March in Sydney
THE ADDAMS FAMILY, Broadway's musical comedy based on the bizarre and beloved family of characters created by legendary cartoonist Charles Addams, will have its Australian premiere in Sydney on Saturday 23 March 2013 at Sydney's Capitol Theatre.
Playing the lovable and bizarre characters Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Grandma, Wednesday, Pugsley and of course, Lurch will be John Waters, Chloë Dallimore, Russell Dykstra, Teagan Wouters, Ben Hudson and MerEdith O'Reilly. The cast playing the members of the "other" family are Tony Harvey (Mal Beineke), Katrina Retallick (Alice Beineke), & Tim Maddren (Lucas Beineke).
THE ADDAMS FAMILY features an original story and it's every parent's nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. For parents Gomez and Morticia, it's a shocking development that turns the Addams house upside down when they are forced to host a dinner for the young man and his parents.
THE ADDAMS FAMILY is directed by Broadway legend Jerry Zaks.

CLEARANCE - The Baltic Defense to the Queen's GambitProduct Code: CB0082CD
Publisher: Chess Digest
Author: Andrew Soltis
Year of Publication: 1993
Pages: 102
Notation Type: Algebraic (AN)
Book DescriptionIn the past many masters have tried to solve Black's problem of developing the Queen's Bishop after blocking it in by 2..e6(1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6). But there is another school that thinks Black should solve the Bishop problem first, with 2..Bf5. A number of them from the Baltic nations were GM Mikenas and GM Keres. The modern generation is lead by GM's Bagirov, Shirov, and Rausis. We believe books have overlooked 1.d4 d5 2.c4 Bf5 or 1.Nf3 d5 2.d4 Bf5 or 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Bf5.

Much like Vizio, budget TV brand Westinghouse has decided to capitalize on the usual energy-efficiency of small-screened LCDs. Its "greenvue" line, which includes the SK-H640G series, is said to surpass Energy Star by 20 percent. That's not a very high standard yet, however, and according to our tests, the 32-incher, while among the most efficient of its kind, will save you at most a few bucks a year over similar TVs. Compared with those TVs, it also came up a bit short in the picture quality and features departments, but simple its design and control scheme could appeal to bargain hunters fed up with a typical HDTVs' complexity.
Series note: We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 32-inch Westinghouse SK-H640G, but this review also applies to the 26-inch Westinghouse SK-26H640G. According to their specifications, the two models are identical but for screen size, so they should exhibit very similar picture quality.
Despite the "green" marketing, the Westinghouse SK-H640G series comes dressed in only glossy black, although a small gray strip along the bottom edge does provide a subtle accent. The set is more compact than many of its low-buck brethren, and we also approve of the looks of the oval-based stand, although sadly it doesn't swivel.
The little remote seems cheap, and its loose battery cover fails to alleviate that impression. The buttons are grouped somewhat logically, but ease-of-use is spoiled by their small size and cryptic icons. One saving grace is the ability to directly access different input groups via dedicated buttons.
Speaking of cryptic icons, Westinghouse made the unusual decision to base its menu system around a row of often arbitrary symbols along the top of the screen, thankfully supplemented by yellow text names. Our favorite is the almost whimsical tube of mercury that represents, yes, color temperature (it's blue in the above image to signify "cool"). We wouldn't mind this simple arrangement, which seems more appropriate to an entry-level TV than the complex systems found on many competitors' models, if the company had included actual numbers along with the bar graphs representing levels for items like contrast and brightness. As it stands there's no easy way to dial in a particular setting, aside from counting pips on the bar.
Like most entry-level LCD TVs the Westinghouse has a native resolution of 1,366×768, or 720p, as opposed to the 1080p resolution found on step-up models. Of course, at this screen size the benefits of 1080p are negligible, except with computer sources, so we don't consider this feature omission a big deal. Nonetheless it's worth mentioning that unlike most 720p LCDs we've reviewed, the SK-H640G series cannot accept 1080p sources (although it can handle 1080i; see Performance for more details).
That wacky menu system hides a sparse selection of picture controls. Five presets are available but you can only adjust the one labeled Custom, which is not even independent per input. Worse is the fact that changing a parameter (like Brightness) when you're in another mode causes the set to revert to Custom, which erases whatever custom settings you have. This arrangement, combined with the Westinghouse's lack of numeric indicators as mentioned above, makes it one of the least-friendly TVs to adjust that we've encountered in a while.
Westinghouse neglected to include a slider for the backlight, instead restricting its control to three positions labeled Bright Room, Medium Room and Dark Room. Aside from the three color temperature presets, no advanced picture controls are available. Most sets in this price range, by contrast, at least offer controls for noise reduction and film mode, and most have significantly more.
Four aspect ratio controls are available for both standard- and high-def sources. The "1:1 mode" option with HD sources minimizes overscan, showing as much of the picture as possible, so we recommend using it unless you notice interference along the extreme edges.
The Westinghouse offers standard connectivity for the entry-level breed, with two HDMI and one each PC and component-video jacks, in addition to an RF input, and an optical digital audio output. The side panel adds an AV input with composite video.

Needmore Man Charged With DUI
A 25-year-old Needmore man faces charges of driving under the influence following a crash along Possum Hollow Road over the weekend.
Pennsylvania State Police from the McConnellsburg barracks responded to a 3:43 a.m. accident on the 1000 block of the Licking Creek Township roadway on Saturday, May 19. The driver of the vehicle, Joshua Leonard Mellott, was determined to be driving under the influence of alcohol, police said.
Charges are slated to be filed through Magisterial District Judge Devin Horne.
Gift Cards Stolen On Lions Park Dr.
Twenty-five dollar gift cards to Red Lobster and the Olive Garden were stolen from 375 Lions Park Drive, McConnellsburg, on Thursday, May 17, between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Victim of the theft is an 81-year-old female from McConnellsburg. Anyone having further information pertinent to this case should immediately contact state police Trooper Watkins at 717-485-3131.
Collision Occurs Behind School Bus
A three-vehicle crash occurred behind a stopped school bus along Pitt Street in the village of Hustontown last Thursday morning, state police said.
Reports state that 18- year-old Hustontown resident Erin Lynn McQuait failed to stop in time for traffic that was at a standstill at 7:53 a.m. McQuait's northbound 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier struck the rear of a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze driven by a 16-year-old girl, also from Hustontown. The impact, police added, caused the Cruze to be pushed into the rear of a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta operated by Jason Carl Carbaugh, 32, of McConnellsburg.
The juvenile and Carbaugh were both wearing seat belts and escaped injury. McQuait was not using a seat belt and suffered minor injuries.
McQuait's car was towed from the scene by Tin Man Auto Body and assistance was given on- site by the Hustontown Area Volunteer Fire Co. McQuait is slated to receive several traffic citations in connection with the May 17 crash.
Three Vehicles On Pleasant Ridge Rd. Targeted By Thieves
Three vehicles parked on the 12000 block of Pleasant Ridge Road in Licking Creek Township were targeted by thieves between 1 a.m. and 8 a.m. on Monday, May 21.
State police said multiple items were stolen from the vehicles including an IPod, a nylon case containing compact discs and a Pennsylvania Access card. Victims of the theft include a 41-year-old male and a 20- year-old woman, both from Harrisonville.
Anyone with further information linked to this theft is asked to contact state police Trooper Doriguzzi by calling the McConnellsburg barracks at 717-485-3131.
Cyclist Injured In McConnellsburg Accident
A McConnellsburg man was taken to Fulton County Medical Center on Saturday, May 12, for treatment of injuries suffered during an accident on the 100 block of West Walnut Street in Mc- Connellsburg Borough.
Richard David Wallace, 28, was subsequently released from the hospital following the 6:25 p.m. collision, state police in McConnellsburg said. He will be charged in connection with the accident.
The crash occurred, reports indicate, while Wallace was operating a westbound "pedal cycle" on West Walnut Street. While making a right-hand turn onto First Street Wallace reportedly collided with a vehicle driven by Henry Paul Isban, 71, also of McConnellsburg.
Police did not say if Wallace was wearing a helmet or if Isban suffered any injuries.
