Vincent Lamar Carter is no longer the lean, athletic dynamo who dazzled Raptors fans with eye-popping dunks that posterized even the leagues best defenders.CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- EJ Manuels first completion to Sammy Watkins will go down as nothing more than a 14-yard pass play in a meaningless preseason game. But the Bills are hoping its the start of something special. Manuel completed 9 of 13 passes for 96 yards and Watkins hauled in his first three NFL receptions for 21 yards as the Bills defeated the Carolina Panthers 20-18 Friday night. "I was happy for him," Manuel said. "I gave him a high-five and told him, Welcome to the NFL." Watkins said the chemistry between the teams first-round draft picks is getting better with each passing day. "Its building," Watkins said. "Weve got a long way to go, but at the same time we understand that hes young and Im young and well get better." Cam Newton didnt play for Carolina, as coach Ron Rivera held out his Pro Bowl quarterback to rest his ankle following off-season surgery. "Hes right on track and were not overly concerned," Rivera said, adding that he expects Newton to play Aug. 17 against Kansas City. Buffalos offence still needs some work. For the second straight week the Bills struggled turning scoring opportunities into points. Buffalos first-team offence reached Carolina territory on its first three possessions but managed just three points after being stuffed on a pair of Fred Jackson runs near the goal line. "We had yardage, we moved the ball," Bills coach Doug Marrone said. "In those situations, which we work on very hard, we have to do a better job of taking advantage of those opportunities. Right now, were on the back end of what we want to convert statistically." Manuel doesnt seem too concerned. "We did a very good job at executing what we wanted to execute," Manuel said. The Panthers offence got a glimpse of their future at wide receiver, too. Kelvin Benjamin, the teams first-round draft pick, turned in the play of the game on a spectacular 32-yard touchdown catch. The 6-foot-5, 240-pound Benjamin helped fans forget about Steve Smith for a moment when he raced down the left sideline, stumbled after contact with cornerback Stephon&nnbsp;Gilmore but maintained his balance and concentration long enough to haul in a diving catch in the end zone from Derek Anderson.dddddddddddd "The whole time I was stumbling I kept my eyes on the ball and I followed it all the way to the ground," Benjamin said. "In a split second I just stuck my arms up between the ball and the ground and caught it before it hit the ground. It was crazy." Rivera called Benjamin a young, dynamic player who is living up to his billing so far as the 28th pick in the draft. "We knew he had big play ability and those are kind of the big plays we are looking for," Rivera said. Anderson started in place of Newton and finished 5 of 7 for 65 yards and a touchdown and twice did his best Newton impersonation by running for a first down on third and long. Anderson played three series, but the other two resulted in punts. "We just need to be cleaner," Anderson said. "Get in and get out of the huddle and see things better." Carolinas other quarterbacks Matt Blanchard and Joe Webb struggled. Marrone was upset last Sunday when the Bills reached Giants territory five times but managed just one touchdown and two field goals. It looked like Buffalo would score early against the Panthers with Manuel marching 78 yards behind two grabs by Watkins. But Carolina stopped Fred Jackson on a pair of runs near the goal line and took over on downs. Buffalos first touchdown of the game in the second quarter was set up when Jarius Wynn sacked Blanchard and Manny Lawson recovered at the Carolina 28. Anthony Dixon scored on a 1-yard run to give Buffalo at 10-6 lead. NOTES: Panthers backup kicker Jordan Gay missed a 33-yard extra point in the second quarter. The NFL is trying out longer extra point attempts in preseason games. ... Carolina defensive end Greg Hardy had a sack in his first game since being convicted on two domestic violence charges. ... C.J. Spiller had 22 yards on three carries for the Bills. ... The Bills and Steelers will have joint practices Aug. 13-14 at St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. ' ' '

- "Attorneys are frequently asked to represent more than one client in the same or related matters... Regardless of the setting, attorneys face the same challenge in deciding whether the conflict of interest posed by the joint representation can be waived by the clients."
- "Under the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, the conflict of interest can be waived if (1) the clients provide knowing, informed consent to the joint representation, and (2) the attorney's representation of the multiple clients will be competent..."
- "In assessing whether the joint representation will be competent, however, the attorney encounters the enigma that has bedeviled practitioners, courts and commentators since the adoption of the Model Rules. A joint representation hampered by a conflict of interest materially limits the services that the attorney can perform for one client because of her competing duties to the other client. Thus, the challenge: how can we know which joint representations are competent (and therefore "consentable") when nearly all suffer from material limits on the services that counsel can undertake for the clients?"
The articple proposes: "...a new test by which courts and practitioners can honor both the consent and competence elements of Model Rule 1.7(b)."
- "In application, the proposed test calls for a rethinking of: the Supreme Court's approach to conflict waiver in the criminal-defense setting; the analysis of courts that have considered conflict waivers in civil litigation and transaction matters; and the approach of attorneys who are charged with determining in the first instance whether to accede to client requests for a joint representation. Given the stakes for clients and counsel, it is time we understood why and when a conflict can be waived."

Make Voyages
We are a start-up membership-based, online travel site representing more than 40 travel agencies. Our primary business will be offering hand-picked trips to our members, group and incentive travel to corporations, and activity and destination travel in an exclusive club environment. The idea is that you can't get these deals anywhere else because we have "insider" information. Additionally, we are offering new ways to plan your travel with several online tools including how to start a group for discounted rates, how to start an incentive program at your corporation, concierge services and more. We definitely do NOT want to compete with the big boys - this is where you go if you want something different.
Our primary sales channel is through Professional Employee Organization (PEOs) which handle HR, payroll and benefits for Small-to-Medium sized Businesses (SMBs).
These SMBs range from physician groups, to construction companies, to accounting firms, etc. - usually companies under one hundred employees running a quality operation. So, Make Voyages will be presented as part of their benefits package.
We do not have specific demographic info other than this is primarily U.S. based, English speakers that can afford to travel. Also, it's for people who want a quality club membership that they can't get elsewhere. Lastly, and very importantly, the we want the executives of the SMBs to use Make Voyages for their in-house travel department - just call and the concierge takes care of you. So, executives of SMBs are very important.
1. Product Position. Make Voyages is a product/service under the mother company Employee Rewards (like DieHard Batteries is to Sears, or Jetsetter is to Gilt Groupe). So, it has to work with that existing brand/logo of Employee Rewards (attached) - see http://www.employeerewards.com (landing page only - site doesn't go live until Jan. 11. So, in th future we will do something like, Make Voyages - Employee Rewards Travel. See attached jpeg of web comp for rough idea, but... do NOT design it with the Employee Rewards logo at this time, as Make Voyages will have to exist on it's own in the initial sales efforts.
IMPORTANT NOTE: we do NOT want you to design Make Voyages with Employee Rewards at this time. Just keep it in mind so they can work together at a later date.
2. Style, Tone and Look & Feel: exclusive, club, classy, a new way to think about travel, but not fancy. Quality - not cheap. We are not discount travel. We are not the lowest fares. We are an exclusive club for insiders.
3. Background: The name Make Voyages comes from a Tennessee Williams quote "Make voyages! Attempt them... there's nothing else." What we liked was the non-traditional naming convention to help people remember the name, but more importantly it seemed to capture the spirit of adventure - the idea that travel can be fun again.

Parkinson's Disease Management
More than 1.5 million Americans suffer from Parkinson's Disease (PD), a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that impacts an individual's motor skills, speech and cognitive function. Often characterized by the presence of tremors, PD will present a wide range of challenges: from rigidity or stiffness in the limbs to problems with posture and balance, fatigue, mood, swallowing and memory. However, each of the estimated 60,000 persons diagnosed with PD every year will experience different symptoms and will benefit from different treatment options as the disease progresses.
For that reason, a multi-disciplinary approach to care is most effective. At Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation, our team of allied health professionals works closely with a patient's physician to best meet individual needs, optimize function and encourage independence.
Our Approach
As a complement to pharmacological and surgical interventions for Parkinson's patients, Kessler offers a comprehensive program of physical, occupational and speech therapies to enhance each individual's physical, intellectual and emotional well-being.
Physical Therapy for PD is designed to both elevate current physical performance and educate individuals about the importance of continuing exercise after the course of therapy is completed.
Using a variety of performance and balance tests, a Kessler therapist will evaluate the patient at the start of the program, at mid-point and again at discharge to determine the appropriate course of treatment and to make any modifications as needs may change. Our specialized program incorporates "The Five R's of Exercise" utilizing varying aspects of rotation, rhythm, range of motion, reaction and rehearsed movements into each activity. Improvements are usually seen in gait, balance, posture and flexibility.
- Occupational Therapy targets the individual's ability to perform daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, grooming or preparing a meal and other routine tasks. Kessler occupational therapists work closely with our PD patients, providing a range of therapies to help improve or maintain upper extremity range of motion, prevent contractures through stretching and splinting, strengthen fine motor coordination and improve apraxia. In addition, we introduce new and more accommodating ways for individuals to care for themselves and remain as independent as possible.
- Speech Therapy, which focuses on the dynamics of speaking, addresses problems with volume, intonation and clarity that individuals with Parkinson's Disease often experience. Improvements may be seen in speech and voice quality, as well as facial expression. In addition, Kessler's speech therapists will work with patients to help improve impaired swallow function and saliva management.
Specialized Services
As part of Kessler's comprehensive approach to care, we offer many unique services, including, for example, our Driver Rehabilitation Program. This highly acclaimed program provides individuals with a detailed evaluation to help determine their ability to safely operate a vehicle. Using objective data, we help those whose driving skills become impaired to understand that they may no longer be safe on the road. For those who are able to continue to drive, the program can help hone the skills needed to remain on the road safely.
In addition, bracing and wheelchair services are available to our patients. This includes the evaluation, recommendations for and training on the use of such equipment. In addition, advanced assistive technologies, such as computer-controlled environmental aids, may also be introduced to offer help with activities of daily living.
For More Information
For more information about Kessler's Parkinson's Disease Management, contact or call Kessler's West Orange, Saddle Brook or Chester Campus.

Iroquois Zoning Board of Appeals Gives OK for New Fertilizer Plant
Heritage FS has been given a green light to go ahead with plans for a new fertilizer plant in Douglas Township. The Iroquois County Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously to allow for an M-2 zoning manufacturing permit. The site, along Route 45 south of Gilman, is currently zoned A-2 (agricultural).
Heritage FS spokesman Dana Robinson explained the 82 acre tract, between county roads 1600 and 1700 North, would be developed for an agronomy centralized distribution terminal. Several buildings would include a 60 by 120 foot warehouse with an attached 48 by 60 foot shop. An office building with parking lot and gravel driveways are included.

Subscription genealogy website Ancestry.com has decided to make the 1940 census images and index—which will be on the site after the 1940 census is opened next year for research—free to search and view through 2013.
That'll be more than 3.8 million images with 130 million records. Even better, they'll be indexed by 45 fields, meaning you'll be able to search on the name, street address, county, state, parents' birthplaces and more.
The records won't be on Ancestry.com right when the census is released April 2, 2012, by the National Archives. Ancestry.com's press release says they'll commence "streaming onto the website in mid-April 2012."
The digital images will be accessible free of charge at NARA facilities nationwide through our public access computers as well as on personal computers via the internet.
The 1940 Census will not have a name index when it opens on April 2, 2012. In order to locate someone, you will need to know his or her address and the Census enumeration district in which that address was located.
What can you do now in preparation for the opening of the 1940 Census?
1. Make a list of all the people you want to look for in the 1940 census. Think broadly--ancestors, their siblings, cousins, etc.--anybody to whom you are related.
2.Collect addresses for these people for whom you plan to search.
Sources for addresses include:
City Directories (NARA has original Circa 1940 City Directories for Washington, DC. The Library of Congress holds a large nationwide collection of city directories and many libraries hold local directories.)
The 1930 Census (useful for people who did not move between 1930 and 1940). If you have a person's enumeration district (ED) number from the 1930 Census you can use "The Converting between 1930 and 1940 Census ED1940s in One Step" search utility at http://stevemorse.org/census/ed2040.php?year=1940 to find the equivalent ED for the 1940 Census.
World War II Draft Records (contact the National Archives' Regional Location for the state in which your ancestor lived).
Naturalization Petitions or Declarations of Intent filed close to 1940 (contact the National Archives' Regional Location for the state in which your ancestor lived)
3.Identify the enumeration district (ED) in which each address was located. There are currently several ways to do this:
Search the 1940 Census Maps for Enumeration District Numbers
Go to the Archival Research Catalog (ARC): http://www.archives.gov/research/arc/
Enter 1940 Census maps + the county + the state: 1940 Census maps Sussex Delaware
You can narrow the search by including a town name in the search: 1940 Census maps Sussex Milford Delaware
Note: Not all towns will have individual maps. You may need to look at county maps for some towns. In the search results, click on the map to see a larger version of the map.

Energy Dept. offers plan for leaking Hanford tank
RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — The U.S. Department of Energy has given the state of Washington a plan for emptying a leaking nuclear waste storage tank at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation.
The Tri-City Herald reports (http://is.gd/fIi6tP) that while the Energy Department will start buying equipment and making other plans to remove the radioactive sludge from the double-shell tank with a leak between its shells, actual waste pumping would start no sooner than March 2016.
The plan for emptying Tank AY-102 was given to the state near the close of business Friday. The state has not yet reviewed the plan to comment on it.
The newspaper says DOE already has equipment in place to remove liquid waste from the tank. But according to the plan, no waste would be pumped until the department is ready to proceed with liquid and sludge removal.
No waste is believed to have escaped into the soil beneath the tank. Hanford authorities have known the tank was leaking for about a year.
State officials have urged the Energy Department to empty the tank and have criticized federal officials for not taking action.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 62 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
AppSocial creates mobile and web tools and services that bring people together. We are a young, funky, upbeat, friendly brand. Our services reach people on big screens and small screens and we are a progressive company which makes innovative use of technology.
Gender balance: 50/50
Age range: 20-34
Audience: Global, very tech-savvy users.
Our users are members of Facebook, possibly Twitter or Bebo, and other social networking and dating web sites like Match.com and Lavalife.com. They probably use iPhones or RIM Blackberries. Our identity must stand beside those global brands as a peer.
Our final logo must be delivered in vector format. Colours must be strong, but not too conservative. Our logo should be comprised of two parts:
1) A squared aspect-ratio graphic logo (shape can be anything you like) which will be positioned immediately to the left of the textual component of the logo, but which can instantly identify our company on its own.
2) The textual component of the logo, which should be complementary to the graphic logo, probably in lowercase, and probably in non-serif font. We are, however open to ideas which challenge the latter two rules. The use of two colours should separate the two words "app" and "social" otherwise there should be no space between them or change in case.
Since people are the focus of our company, some ideas which could inform good design for the graphic logo are abstract representations of one or more people, or relationships between people. Again, though, we are open to creative approaches here.

No. We need to say 'a different flower' to be clear.
There are 10 flowers of three kinds.
- I have taken a rose already will you give me other one?
As I understand if we use "another one" here then it means another rose, but we need a flower different from the rose. It means that "another" isn't correct in this case. Would "other one" work?

Factory Reconditioned
You don't have to sacrifice quality to save 30-50% and more on tools. Our reconditioned tools are inspected by factory trained technicians and backed by full manufacturers' warranties.
Learn About Reconditioned Tools
Did you know that reconditioning is the ultimate form of recycling? A reconditioned tool preserves 80% of the value of the material and labor used to make the original tool. Recycling? It saves less than 10%. So, do your part to help the planet, and your wallet. Buy Recon!
Where Reconditioned Tools Come From
Step 1:
Customer Purchases and Returns Pressure Washer
Every day customers return tools to retail stores because:
- They purchased the wrong tool for the project
- They realized they didn't need the tool
- They believe the tool does not work properly
- They simply changed their mind
Step 2:
Manufacturer Inspects, Repairs, Tests, and Repackages
Manufacturer trained technicians thoroughly inspect each tool and repair the tools if necessary. Genuine factory replacement parts are installed if required, and the tools are tested to ensure they operate properly. The tools are repackaged and operating manuals are added to the box if necessary. Reconditioned tools get more individual attention than new tools.
Step 3:
Manufacturer Awards Warranty
Tools that pass inspection are awarded manufacturer warranties to give customers comfort that the manufacturer stands behind the factory reconditioned tool.
Step 4:
CPO Offers a 60-Day Recon Guarantee
CPO is the #1 retailer of factory reconditioned tools, and sells tens of thousands of reconditioned tools every year. CPO is confident in the quality of the tools and backs each purchase with a 60 Day Money Back Guarantee. If you aren't completely satisfied, return it and we'll take care of it.

The LP DNS resource record (RR) is used to hold the name of a subnetwork for ILNP. The name is an FQDN which can then be used to look up L32 or L64 records. LP is, effectively, a Locator Pointer to L32 and/or L64 records.
The available methods are those inherited from the base class augmented by the type-specific methods defined in this package.
Use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data structures is discouraged and could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour.
$preference = $rr->preference;
A 16 bit unsigned integer in network byte order that indicates the relative preference for this LP record among other LP records associated with this owner name. Lower values are preferred over higher values.
$locator = $rr->locator;
The Locator field contains the DNS target name that is used to reference L32 and/or L64 records.

Soccer Caps Off First Week With Crimson vs. Gray Game
Aug. 19, 2001
PULLMAN, Wash. --- Assistant coach Curtis McAlister's Crimson team defeated head coach Dan Tobias' Gray team 2-0 to end the first week of training for the Washington State women's soccer team.
Sophomore forward Rachel Rodrick scored both goals in the match for the Crimson team, which was composed of the top 12 players thus far in the preseason.
'We weren't too concerned with the results,' Tobias said. 'This was the first time with the big numbers and our first chance to evaluate them as a group.'
A new defensive scheme was also under the microscope in the first 11-on-11 action of the 2001 season.
'It's all new for them right now,' McAlister said. 'This year, we have more speed and that is going to allow us to be more aggressive.'
'We're about where I thought we would be right now. We are trying to allow our players to understand when to pressure and how high to pressure,' Tobias said of the defense.
Washington State will get a final tune-up in Couer d'Alene Aug. 25 in a 'friendly match' against NCAA Tournament opponent Montana. Tobias likes the depth of his team heading into the regular season.
'There is great competition for the top 18-20 spots for the travel roster and this looks to be our deepest team since I got here in 1998,' Tobias said.
The Cougars open the 2001 campaign in Las Vegas, Nev., Aug. 31 with a match against St. Mary's. WSU will play Nevada-Las Vegas to end the road trip on Sept. 2.

From NPR Music:
Here's a prediction: Argentine musician Mati Zundel is about to become a household name among music lovers in the U.S. And let me be the first to say "we told you so." He's been a favorite of ours on NPR'ssince we stumbled upon his mixtape Cuando Yo Bailo Tiembla La Tierra (When I Dance The Earth Trembles). We were speechless, stunned, and wanted more.
Zundel recently joined Waxploitation records. I am yet to find an artist on this label that I am not completely enamored with. Other stunners include Chancha Via Circuito and Tremor. And if some of these acts are roughly produced, they make it up in creativity.
Zundel hails from the outskirts of Buenos Aires, a town he describes as a mix of "gauchos and lawyers." He grew up on a steady diet of rock music, electronica and folk songs, plays guitar and traditional indigenous instruments like the charango and bajo zampoña. So he has a very eclectic musical palette to work with.
And on
Amazonico Gravitante
, it shows. Filled with Andean wind instruments and indigenous beats, sprinkled with cumbia (the lingua franca of Latin music), and just the right amount of club grooves, it belongs as much at a meditation session as it does at a dance party. Zundel's work follows a current trend in Latin music of finely meshing together cumbia, indigenous music and pounding electronica. In recent years artists like Zundel have done an amazing job melding genres which have traditionally eyed each other warily. When I was growing up in Buenos Aires, electronica/house/techno was seen as cosmopolitan music of kids with money; young kids who listened to folk tended to be associated more with a roots movement.
Zundel's "Aero Tinku," one of my favorite songs of the record, is a fantastic blend of Andean pan flutes and electronica. Like an exciting dish, it's a recipe that on paper might cause concern, but in practice sounds stunning.
Zundel is capable of creating a deeply relaxing song or a party anthem, but he is also perfectly able to pen an ode to Latin America, such as "Alto De La Paz", another favorite off this record. Often on
we've discussed how difficult it is for a musician to achieve a song that is both lyrically profound and musically infectious. "Alto De La Paz" is an example of a single that should be an instant club hit, but it's also a fighting song, an ode to the Latin American struggle.
In fact, with it's gorgeous tidbits of music from across the Latin continent, the entire album plays like an ode to Latin America. One thing is clear: Zundel is still making the earth tremble, and will be for many years to come.

Brian Gorris knows the meaning of lean operations. Mr. Gorris, CFO of Stripmatic Products in Cuyahoga Heights, a stamper for the automotive industry, has an administrative staff of ½. But you wouldn't know it. The nearly 50-year veteran of accounting is considered an "unsung hero" at Stripmatic, where he has worked for 13 years. "Brian works tirelessly to make everything, every place, everyone better always," the nomination said. Even though he is of retirement age, he still arrives daily at work at 6 a.m. and works 10-hour days at the 25-employee company. During his time at Stripmatic, he guided the company through the end of the recession, helping to keep it profitable and gain market share. Then, in July 2011, Mr. Gorris helped the company survive a move forced by involuntary conversion (the state took the company's property by eminent domain to build a new Inner Belt bridge through downtown). Stripmatic didn't lose any employees or customers and finished the year in the black. Stripmatic now is experiencing a 25% sales growth in 2012. And, over the years, he has acted as a mentor to Stripmatic's husband-and-wife ownership team. Yet despite his mastery of this craft, Mr. Gorris remains humble. "While his financial, analytical and management skills and business acumen have been clearly demonstrated and documented, what makes Brian Gorris unique in his profession is his selfless and humble nature, one who promotes and heralds others and not himself, and one who is comfortable to work in the background, yet has his hand firmly on the corporate tiller," the nomination said. In addition to his work responsibilities, Mr. Gorris remains busy elsewhere in the financial world. He serves on the North Olmsted Planning Commission; the Precision Metalforming Association's audit committee; Clark Consolidating Corp.'s board of directors; Stripmatic's board of directors; and is his parish's treasurer. Outside of the office, Mr. Gorris is active in the community. He helps at soup kitchens and homeless shelters; initiated and maintains a charitable fund; is a Eucharistic minister; volunteers at his home parish; runs fundraisers for a parochial grade school; and has coached a number of recreational baseball teams.

RI to Fund Bold New Ideas
RISD President John Maeda is among the "leaders, thinkers and doers" invited to be on the selection panel for an exciting new grant opportunity designed to entice Rhode Islanders to grapple with the state's most significant challenges.
Made possible through the generosity of Rhode Island philanthropistsLetitia and John Carter, the Rhode Island Innovation Fellowship just announced by The Rhode Island Foundation (RIF) will provide seed funding for ideas designed to provide the "greatest good for the greatest number" of residents of the state. A one-page letter of intent to apply for the new fellowship is due at the RIF byDecember 23, 2011.
Beginning in 2012, Innovation Fellowships will be awarded to two individuals, providing each with $100,000 a year for up to three years to develop, test and implement innovative ideas that have the potential to dramatically improve any area of life in Rhode Island. It's precisely the type of challenge that RISD students, faculty and alumni are so good at embracing, notes Maeda.
"If you think of the work going on every day in RISD's studios, it's easy to see why this amazing opportunity is so well suited to members of our own community," the president says. "This fellowship is all about creative vision and thinking big about the real problems faced in the smallest state in the union. It's something I really hope alumni living in Rhode Island will seriously consider, especially since the seed funding is significant enough to make a positive impact."
The seven panelists on the selection committee will be looking for exciting proposals that show "bold vision, exceptional leadership, risk-taking, potential to scale up and statewide impact," among other criteria. "We hope [this new program] will fuel discovery, passion and a pioneering spirit," notedNeil D. Steinberg, president and CEO of The Rhode Island Foundation, in announcing the Innovation Fellowship. "To our knowledge, nothing like this has ever been tried in our state. It's new territory."

I would like to know what the differences are between used to and would.
It is very difficult to understand because I cannot see the differences.
I asked this one, because I was told that you cannot used them for the same statements.
Thanks a lot in advance
"Would" can be used to describe repeated events in the past. "Used to" describes a past habit.
"Would" can be used when the repeated events took place within a short space of time:
"For three days he would try calling her every hour, but he never got an answer and soon gave up."
"Used to" is usually best for a longer period of time:
"He used to buy her flowers every Friday, right up to the day before he died."

Consensus Report
Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident for Improving Safety of U.S. Nuclear Plants (2014)Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
A new congressionally mandated report from the National Academy of Sciences examines the causes of the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant initiated by the March 11, 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami and identifies lessons learned for improving nuclear plant safety and offsite emergency responses to nuclear plant accidents in the United States. The overarching lesson learned is is that nuclear plant licensees and their regulators must actively seek out and act on new information about hazards that have the potential to affect the safety of nuclear plants. Specifically, licensees and their regulators must continually seek out new scientific information about nuclear plant hazards and methodologies for estimating their magnitudes, frequencies, and potential impacts; nuclear plant risk assessments must incorporate these new information and methodologies as they become available; and plant operators and regulators must take timely actions to implement countermeasures when such new information results in substantial changes to risk profiles at nuclear plants. Learn more in this Report in Brief.

As it turned out, the gluttony moons aligned and at the same time that I was wondering what to make with the deep fryer, Agnes was blogging about her sensational Thomas Keller Fried Chicken. So I asked Agnes to join me for a Deep Fried Food Party. We rounded up a few more people so we could taste more food. After much assurance to Kat that we won't all end up in food comas such as from the previous deep fried food party she attended, we worked out who would make what and it was on.
Here is the Cuisinart Deep Fryer being tested. It's pretty simple, which is good. You flick a switch to turn it on. You set a temperature and time, the green light goes on when the oil has reached the set temperature, and then you lower the food in the basket into the oil. The lid gets put on while frying to stop oil splashes and you can watch the food through the two glass slots on the lid. When the food is done, you can lift the basket and place on a stand to let the oil drip off without taking the lid off, which is very hand.
First up, we have the mentioned Thomas Keller Fried Chicken, which was indeed awesome. The mix of spices, a super crispy batter and tender meat made for excellent fried chicken. It was served with Kewpie mayonnaise, the perfect accompaniment. You can see in the background that there are some snow peas covered in fried oil and some other brown thing on the right, coated fried mushrooms which were both done by I-Hua.
I made Lobak for this party, which was perfectly cooked. The lobak were super crispy and tasted really good, especially with some sweet chili sauce.
Kat made Thai Chicken Wings (middle section of wing split into halves) which were zingy and again beautifully crisped. She also made a simple Thai salad to try to help balance out all the fried food. I also contributed a Vietnamese Prawn Salad to again lighten the meal.
The last fried item I present to you is Sicilian Donuts from Agnes. Balls of dough with sultanas were fried and then dusted in sugar. They were quite nice but not as light and fluffy as I had expected when I think of donuts. I think I prefer a normal donut more.
Kat made some Bread and Butter pudding, which was good, but with a bit too much nutmeg.
Last but not least to finish off this calorie overloaded meal, I made an amazing (yes I don't mind self praise) Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie from an adapted recipe that Viviane emailed me. I served the brownie with some raspberries and vanilla ice cream and they were O for ORSM. We washed down all the food with a magnum of wine that April brought.
We really put the deep fryer through the paces and fried a variety of items at different temperatures. The fryer passed the test with glowing colours, easily frying the lobak in about 5 minutes and even the chicken didn't take too long. The set temperatures really keep the oil nice and consistent and hence the food also come out consistent. Cleaning was also not very hard, as the heating element lifts out and can be cleaned over the sink. The metal basin can then be completely submerged in water and washed.
If you've made it to the end of this post, you can now do one of two things, 1)express your disgust at the amount of fried food that we ate, or 2)express your delight at wonderful fried food and want a deep fryer of your own. If you are part of the second camp, here's the good news. You can win a Cuisinart Deep Fryer of your own.
Thank you to everyone who entered. I'm surprised at the number of people who wanted to fry the chocolate brownies. You're all nuts :-)
Anyway, the winner from the random draw is Karen Neo. Congratulations Karen, I shall be contacting you about the prize.

Warmer Weather On The Way
Meteorologist Chris Jansen of the National Weather Service says Sioux Falls received several inches of snow on Monday.
"Most of the snow ended before 7 p.m. Monday. Sioux Falls got 4.6 inches of snow during the day. That's pretty much over for now," Jansen told KSOO Radio. "We have another system coming through on Wednesday that may bring with us a little bit of rain or snow showers. Then we will have a good warm up as we head for the weekend with above normal temperatures Saturday, Sunday, even into Monday. Highs of 70's on Saturday and Sunday and in the upper 60's on Monday. Looks like winter is coming to an end."
"We had our crews come in overnight to clean up some of the residential areas that were slippery as the snow came through," said Gaylynn Huber of the Street Department. "We went around the schools and did clean up work. With the temperatures we're going to get today, a lot of the residential roads will start to open up today."

Family of cyclist killed on the A414 receive record undisclosed compensation
Family of cyclist killed on the A414 receive record undisclosed compensation
CTC's lawyers Slater & Gordon pursued a civil claim against the motorist who killed 47 year old Kenny Lush in 2009, which was settled last week.
Although satisfied by the sum the family have said that it provides 'little comfort' and said that while the money will bring them some closure and security they will never be able to reconcile themselves with the lenient sentence that the motorist received in the criminal courts.
Kenny Lush, 47, was hit by motorist Deborah Hearn while on his way home from work on the A414 between Hatfield and Hertford in May 2009.
Hearn struck the businessman and then left the scene while Kenny died of his severe injuries. She later handed herself in to police and pleaded guilty to causing the death of the father of four by careless driving. She was spared a jail sentence by the judge in March 2010 as she was then heavily pregnant and was instead banned from driving for 18 months and ordered to pay £2,500 costs. Since then, CTC and Slater & Gordon have worked with the family to pursue damages from Hearn's insurers.
His mother Karin Lush said: "No amount of money can ever bring my son back. We have lost a son, husband, father and brother and we don't feel the driver responsible for killing him has been held accountable in any way. She will probably have no idea how much we have gone through and how our family have suffered financially as a result of her actions that night.
"She killed him and drove off; there is no way we will ever get over that but it is some relief to know that his family and children will be looked after and have some degree of security even if they don't have a father."
The family were supported by CTC throughout the process and have been provided with financial aid when needed, as well as legal support from cycle injury specialists Slater & Gordon.
There are no winners in this tragic story, but CTC is pleased that our partners at Slater & Gordon Lawyers have been able to secure this settlement for the family of Kenny Lush. Our work to win justice for cyclists in the face of scandalous sentencing has never been so important as it is now.
Gordon Seabright
CTC Chief Executive
An annual race has also been set up in Kenny's memory as he was an active and long-standing member of the cycling community.
Liz Dux, lawyer from Slater & Gordon said: "I hope the significant settlement brings some sort of closure for the family and allows them to have some security for the future but nothing can bring Kenny back. Through representing the family since Kenny's tragic death, I have got to know them very well. I have seen what a tremendous presence he was to the business and how hard it has been for them to keep the family firm going. The most upsetting aspect of this case were the actions of the motorist. The family just cannot reconcile their suffering to her lenient sentence. As a society we have still got the balance all wrong. Hopefully this settlement will go some small way towards lessening the pain for the family."

As faithful readers of this weblog will know, your GetReligionistas are convinced that it is stunningly simplistic for journalists to talk about the "Catholic vote," as if there was one mass of Catholics who agree on how they should apply centuries of Catholic doctrine to their actions in voting booths. About a decade ago, an elderly priest here in Washington, D.C., told me that he is convinced that -- at the very least -- there are four competing camps of "Catholic voters" here in postmodern America. As a reminder, here is the typology as I have shared it in the past:
* Ex-Catholics. Solid for Democrats. Cultural conservatives have no chance.
* Cultural Catholics who may go to church a few times a year. This may be one of those all-important "undecided voters" depending on what's happening with the economy, foreign policy, etc. Leans to Democrats.
* Sunday-morning American Catholics. This voter is a regular in the pew and may even play some leadership role in the parish. This is the Catholic voter that is really up for grabs, the true swing voter that the candidates are after.
* "Sweat the details" Catholics who go to confession. They are active in the full sacramental life of their parishes and almost always back the Vatican, when it comes to matters of faith and practice.
As noted, the final camp -- the depressing world of confession statistics are the key -- represents a very small piece of the American Catholic pie.
Now, on to the current headlines. You see, it helps to keep that "Catholic voters" typology in mind while reading mainstream media coverage of the escalating conflict between the Obama administration and the world of religious education and non-profit ministries. Since clashes with the Catholic hierarchy have received the most ink, it helps to remember that not all "Catholic colleges" are "Catholic colleges" in the same sense of the word. The same statement is true of "Catholic hospitals."
Thus, one would expect various kinds of Catholic institutions to have different policies when it comes to defending church doctrines on controversial issues -- such as birth control.
This brings us to the following headline in The New York Times: "Ruling on Contraception Draws Battle Lines at Catholic Colleges."
The only appropriate response? Well, DUH. Of course this fight is drawing battles between the White House and Catholic institutions, as well as spotlighting preexisting fractures in the world of Catholic higher education. Simply stated: These schools are not preaching or practicing the same faith. Why shouldn't they clash when it comes time to react to a government action affecting religious liberty?
Here's the summary language in this story:
Many Catholic colleges decline to prescribe or cover birth control, citing religious reasons. Now they are under pressure to change. This month the Obama administration, citing the medical case for birth control, made a politically charged decision that the new health care law requires insurance plans at Catholic institutions to cover birth control without co-payments for employees, and that may be extended to students. But Catholic organizations are resisting the rule, saying it would force them to violate their beliefs and finance behavior that betrays Catholic teachings.
"We can't just lie down and die and let religious freedom go," said Sister Mary Ann Walsh, a spokeswoman for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Now hold your breath. Here's the payoff punch:
In an election season that features Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, who have stressed their Catholic faith, scientific thinking on the medical benefits of birth control has clashed with deeply held religious and cultural beliefs.
Once again, science on one side vs. blind religion on the other. That's the magic formula, it seems. Right Bill Keller?
Also, note that this entire matter is simply political, not theological. There are no real doctrinal issues to debate. The folks who see a religious-liberty crisis in all of this -- often liberal Catholics, as well as conservative -- are only doing so because of a political agenda. You know, like the right-wingers at the liberal National Catholic Reporter (and the editorial board of The Washington Post, while we are at it).
But enough about the predictable political framing in this story. Back to the Catholic colleges in the headline.
Some Catholic colleges are likely to ask for a yearlong delay in implementing the rule on birth control coverage, said Michael Galligan-Stierle, president of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities. In the longer run, he predicted in a statement that either Congress or the Supreme Court would invalidate the rule. Belmont Abbey College, which is Catholic, and the interdenominational Colorado Christian University have already sued the Department of Health and Human Services, arguing that the birth control requirement violates the right to freedom of religion.
Birth control is considered a "preventive service" under the new health care law, but Mr. Galligan-Stierle said such services should be limited to preventing disease, not pregnancy.
"We do not happen to think pregnancy is disease," he said. "We think it's a gift of love of two people and our creator."
The most important word comes right at the beginning of that passage -- "some."
In other words, there are Catholic schools that defend Catholic teachings and strive to recruit students, faculty and staff who join in that effort -- or at the very least seek to recruit those who will not oppose these teachings. Then again, many Catholic schools openly reject the teachings of their church.
Thus, we read:
At Catholic universities, some students support the right of the schools to uphold religious doctrine. But others, particularly professional and graduate students, have found the restrictions on birth control coverage onerous. ...
One recent Georgetown law graduate, who asked not to be identified for reasons of medical privacy, said she had polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition for which her doctor prescribed birth control pills. She is gay and had no other reason to take the pills. Georgetown does not cover birth control for students, so she made sure her doctor noted the diagnosis on her prescription. Even so, coverage was denied several times. She finally gave up and paid out of pocket, more than $100 a month. After a few months she could no longer afford the pills. Within months she developed a large ovarian cyst that had to be removed surgically — along with her ovary.
"If I want children, I'll need a fertility specialist because I have only one working ovary," she said.
A spokeswoman for Georgetown, Stacy Kerr, said that problems like this were rare and that doctors at the health service knew how to help students get coverage for contraceptives needed for medical reasons. Asked if Georgetown would begin covering birth control under the new rule, she said, "We will be reviewing and evaluating the new regulations, ever mindful of our Catholic and Jesuit identity and mission."
I kept waiting to see if this story would recognize the wide diversity that is found Catholic education. I was expecting, frankly, to hear from qualified, experienced Catholic educators who want to defend their faith on this matter -- which would mean resisting government actions to force them to financially support actions they believe are sinful. Instead, we get this accurate, yet rather bombastic quote:
Senior Catholic officials said that students at Catholic universities should know what to expect, and that those who disagree with the policies can choose to go elsewhere. "No one would go to a Jewish barbecue and expect pork chops to be served," Mr. Galligan-Stierle said.
That's a valid quote and it's valid for the Times to use it.
My question is simple: Is this one of those urban, sophisticated Times stories in which the editors (if they agree with their newly retired editor) believe that they do not need to cover both sides of an issue? Is it enough now that they quote the valid, powerful anecdotes and arguments on one side and then reduce the other side's convictions to rumblings about politics and a punchy soundbite?
Just asking.
The key to future coverage is to find out if the government will find ways to honor the convictions of Catholic schools that want to defend Catholic doctrines and will openly and legally state that in all contacts and legal covenants with students, faculty and staff. In other words, can the government find ways to treat these religious private schools -- Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, etc. -- like the religious institutions that they are.
And the rest of the Catholic schools? The leaders of those schools are free to kneel to the state on this matter. They have ever right to do that, if the Vatican decides to let them do it -- while remaining "Catholic colleges." Then again, there is this.
