- Yield:serves 4
- Active time: 10 minutes
- Total time:15 minutes
- Rated:
- 1/3 cup unsalted peanuts
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons unroasted peanut oil or other neutral oil
- 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
- 2 dried red chiles, roughly chopped or crushed
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and very thinly sliced
- 1-inch knob ginger root, peeled and very thinly sliced
- 4 scallions, trimmed and roughly chopped
- Cooked white rice, for serving
Combine the chicken, corn starch, and half the soy sauce in a small bowl. Toss the chicken until it's well-coated in the mixture, and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat a large, dry skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the peanuts and cook, gently tossing occasionally, until they're golden brown and fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Heat the oil in the skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the Sichuan peppercorns and dried chiles and cook, stirring continuously, until the chiles turn a light brown in color.
Turn the heat to high and add the marinated chicken. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until starting to turn golden, then add the garlic, ginger, scallions, and peanuts. Continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through, 1-2 minutes more.
Remove from the heat, pour the remaining soy sauce over the chicken, and serve immediately with rice.

Hungary opened the EuroBasket 2005 additional qualifying tournament with a win over Czech Republic on Sunday night in Novi Sad.
Both sides last qualified for EuroBasket in 1999, but it is Hungary who are in pole position for 2005 thanks to their 84-79 win.
|Jiri Welsch couldn't rescue his side against Hungary
Hungary in fact dominated the game, and after Kornel David hit a jump shot to give them a 2-0 lead, they did not trail for the rest of the contest.However, although the Hungarians kept their noses in front, Czech Republic remained withing striking distance and made several serious runs down the stretch which nearly saw them steal the game.
Hungary led by as many as 11 points in the first half, only for Czech Republic to close to within one point (31-30) midway through the second period. But as soon as Czech Republic threatened, Hungary found a way to re-establish the lead.
The pattern repeated itself in the third quarter, but Hungary looked to have the game safe early in the fourth, when they led 70-58.
But Czech Republic refused to go down without a fight and when Jiri Welsch hit a 3-pointer with 90 seconds to go, they trailed 78-75.
The game was poised for a furious finish but when Marton Bader intercepted a Maurice Whitfield pass with 36 seconds on the clock and his side leading 81-77, the game looked to be over. But Czech Republic had a couple of big plays left in them, and when Petr Benda blocked Bader's shot, Czech star Jiri Welsch nailed a jump shot to bring his side to within 2 (81-79).
6 seconds remained on the game clock after Welsch's shot, and it proved to be too little time for Czech Republic.
They fouled Istvan Nemeth who made a pair from the line and when Whitfield missed a three and Lubos Barton the follow, they were forced to foul again and Czech Republic closed the game from the free throw line.
Bader, a 25 year center, had a strong game off the bench for Hungary as he talled 21 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks.
Welsch led Czech Republic with 16, who will face Israel on Monday night.

Jerry Moore Out at Appalachian State Mountaineers
BOONE, N.C. (AP) - Appalachian State says longtime coach Jerry Moore won't return to the Mountaineers next season.
Athletic director Charlie Cobb said Sunday that he and Moore - the winningest coach in school and Southern Conference history - agreed following the 2011 season that this year would be his last.
Cobb says Moore didn't want to make the decision public during the season because he didn't want the attention. The Mountaineers' season ended Saturday with an overtime loss to Illinois State in the second round of the playoffs.
Moore was 215-87 in 24 seasons with the Mountaineers and won three straight FCS national championships from 2005-07. He's perhaps most famous for shocking then-No. 5 Michigan in the 2007 opener.
Assistant head coach Scott Satterfield will be his interim replacement.

Almost but not quite
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
Compression shorts are great for blood flow, but my dad tried these and found them just a bit too tight. He also overheated running in these in the San Diego 100 race (but to be fair it was 100+ degrees out). So for colder weather and a bit looser, he would have liked them better.
Great compression shorts
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Awesome compression, true to size, and well ventilated. 5 star all the way!
compression shorts on steroids!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: med
- Height: 5'11"
- Weight: 175lbs
they are awesome! nothing comes close. The venting is awesome also. CW-X make great stuff that no one else does. Pricey but worth it!
Just what I (k)need
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
If you're looking for running shorts that go to the knee that breath well on warmer runs, look no further. I started running in tights this winter and loved them. I was looking for something that would give me similar support, but for warmer jogs. I picked these up and couldn't be happier with the purchase. I run a 10k in these 3-4 times a week. These offer great support without holding in the heat. I'll pick up another pair in the future. Great fit for tights, runs true to size. I usually run about a 32" waist and picked up the medium.
Doing what they are supposed to
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I have a pair of CW-X knee length for fall and spring when it's colder. I needed something that would help with long runs in the summer. I do nothing but trail running, often with lots of hard, pounding downhills that tire the legs pretty quickly. So far, these are working great and I'm less tired on some of my regular runs than when I run without them or with other branded compression shorts. I'll probably buy a 2nd pair because I like them enough. I'm 5'11", 160lbs and wear a Medium. The fit true to size.
Didn't notice a difference
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I picked these up for running, figuring reducing recovery time would be nice. I tried them on my normal run circuit for a couple weeks, and really noticed no improvement. If anything, I actually felt more tired since I was warmer and they felt a bit restricting to my movement. I kept them figuring that they'll be OK for running in the winter, but have otherwise stopped using them. I do have a "natural form" running style (forefoot strike), resulting in most of my work being in my calves, so perhaps these are just unnecessary for me.
What I like:
*fit seems accurate
What I don't like:
*no noticeable recovery improvement
*feels slightly restrictive to movement
*keeps me warmer than I'd like - I can't imagine wearing these in the summer
Sizing: I'm 5'-10", <32" waist, ~150 lbs and the medium fit well.
So far so good
I've worn these for jogging and some intervals. So far I have to say I really like them. They're very comfortable and do not restrict movement. I wasn't sure I wanted to spend this much money on shorts, but I'm glad I did. Temps have mostly been cool on my runs (60's), so I don't know what they will be like in the heat.Also, the CW-X underwear works well underneath these.
Great for long runs
Overall, after one long run these tights felt great. I believe they helped in a quicker recovery of my quads and hammys. The black thick material made it feel warmer though at 71 degrees F. I 'd like to see lighter color versions. I am borderline at 5'9'',168-170. Should I have bought a small instead of a medium? Maybe these should be made in 'tweener sizes like Small/Medium. It will be nice to have a mesh window placed in the rear area just above the tail bone. I sweat profusely there after long runs.
worth it, seriously
Great stuff: so far I've used them for running intervals, jogging, and working out at gym. Like magic, no soreness (and I'm old and out of shape). Ventilation is surprisingly good: it's been in the 90s and I feel no warmer down there than in loose running shorts. Warm up the bank card, they're worth it. I'll be getting the full tights in the fall.
Go-To running shorts
These shorts are great ! They really do live up to the hype regarding support and comfort. Unlike other compression shorts these stay put once you get them on. (make sure you don't buy them too big, they need to be tight) They provide very good support to your upper leg muscles without being too constrictive. The ventilator panel does help but because the material is fairly heavy to provide support, these shorts are warm compared to others made from lighter weight material. A worth while trade off as far as I'm concerned.
Give these bad boys a shot. You won't be disappointed
CW-X shorts
Just got these a couple of weeks ago and they rock. I have a pair of the long CW-X compression pants for cooler weather. CW-X makes a high quality product that is worth the extra money. Great for running, working out and biking.
Worth the money
I sweat a lot, regular running shorts feel like I am running in wet diapers after about an hour, these work great and I think it may be helping my form. I think it also helps recovery and improves my workouts. Just need to save up to buy a couple more pairs.
feel great
I got these to help with recovering from a nasty hip flexor injury. It helps a lot, i have yet to use them for their actual purpose, but I imagine they'll be amazing. I'm a 38ish waist, i snagged the XL and it fits great.
Great Shorts!!
I play soccer quite a bit and needed something a bit more supportive than a pair of cotton boxers. I got all that and more with the ventilator shorts. These keep the lads in place, and provide the compression needed to recover quickly from afternoons of mind-blowingly fast sprints to and from the goal. Combined with the Ventilator Top SS, I sometimes mistake myself for Lionel Messi. Bottom line is that these shorts are really great for anyone who needs to perform while running.
Keeping it together!
I love these shorts! Honestly I just wear them around the house occasionally because I like the feel of them. I'm 6'2" 185lbs and the Large works just fine for me. They do a great job of "keeping everything together" and I don't feel it as much after those long runs in the middle of the summer day. A bit expensive, but I don't think I'll be running in anything else.
Excellent Warm Weather Running Shorts
I have used the ankle length CW-X running tights for the past year and have loved them. These Stabilyx Ventilator Shorts are just as good. They provide a nice compression fit and wick away moisture very well. I sweat very heavily when I run, and these shorts keep me cool - if not completely dry. I have other running shorts that are a loose fit, and I can tell a real difference with the targeted compression of the CW-X shorts.
They are expensive, but I highly recommend them.

NO! these are meant to be the underneath to other shorts.
I asked the same thing on the CW-X site. Their response was:
We always recommend that you wear a synthetic sport brief under the shorts to prevent any possibility of irritation

Barcelona: Carles Puyol has signed a contract extension that will see him stay at Barcelona until 2016.
The centre-back joins Xavi and Lionel Messi in signing new deals with the Liga leaders, although Victor Valdes has refused to commit to the club past the end of his current deal.
The 34-year-old`s current deal had been due to expire in the summer of 2014, but he will now stay with the Blaugrana for a further two years.
"I`m very happy and very pleased," he told Barca TV.
"My plan was to continue here - I want to be here for as many years as I can. I`m thankful for the effort that the club have made.
"Signing this contact is important, but what`s more important is seeing it out. Staying in shape is very important and I`m well aware that I have to take care of myself off and on the pitch."
Puyol has played his entire career at Camp Nou and has won five league titles, two Copa del Rey's and the Champions League three times.
Both Adriano and Andreas Iniesta are expected to join Puyol in signing extensions in the coming week.

Little Big Town Get Personal in 'Your Side of the Bed' Video
The new video for Little Big Town's current single 'Your Side of the Bed' offers fans what you have to hope is a fictional look inside the marriage of two of their principals, singers Karen Fairchild and Jimi Westbrook.
The group premiered the new clip during an appearance on 'Good Morning America' this week. Directed by Becky Fluke, the video was shot at the Tennessee Theater and the Oliver Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn.
Like the song itself, the clip is painfully familiar to anyone whose marriage has gone through a period of distance and discontent. The plot shows Fairchild and Westbrook in their real-life roles as co-performers in a celebrated touring act who are also together off stage, playing on their onstage chemistry and contrasting that with the uncomfortable, awkward silence that settles on them when they're alone.
It's about as far from the light entertainment of last year's breakthrough 'Pontoon' as any one video could be -- and that's a good thing, since Little Big Town seem to be in the process of proving that they can move forward from that commercial leap and succeed in other styles without being defined by one runaway hit.

by Charles Olton
Self-evaluation is an evergreen concern for those who govern orchestras.
Several years ago, during the informal chit-chat before a meeting of a dozen managers of middle-sized orchestras, I heard a startling exchange. It began when one manager complained that his board chair, a pharmacist, had forced him to adopt a marketing strategy that had worked well in the chair's own business. "He doesn't get it," the manager said. "In his business, the customer's only choice is between generic and brand-name. In ours, the customer can decide not to buy the product at all." (Groans and sighs.)
Not to be outdone, another manager said her entire board had ganged up on her, forcing her to fire the development director and add fund raising to her own portfolio as a means of balancing the budget. "What's a girl to do?" she exclaimed in dismay. (More groans and sighs.)
Commiserating, a third manager declared, "I'll tell you what I do: I lock my board members in a closet, and I only let them out when I'm good and ready."
At this point, the chair gaveled the meeting to order and called for a reading of the secretary's minutes. Just like that: two anguished complaints about trustees making flawed demands that could cause fatal revenue damage--with attendant groans and sighs suggesting that these were not unusual stories--yet the only solution offered was citizen's arrest and incarceration! Nor, it appeared, was any realistic solution expected: No one challenged the chair's decision to end this poignant and revealing conversation in favor of reading the secretary's minutes.
Ever since that day, I have listened intently when managers have spoken about the "board problem." Not all the issues are as stark as those I first heard, nor all the solutions as impractical. But no one should doubt that there's room for improvement in the performance of trustees and boards. The need is pervasive, in all sizes and types of orchestras, everywhere in the country.
The first lesson I have learned is that the "board problem" is really a "board and management problem," and any solution will require thought, participation, and change in the habits and attitudes of both, working together. The second lesson is that both managers and trustees know something is wrong, and would like to change, but are uncertain about both the diagnosis of the illness and prescription for its cure. We--the League, trustees, and managers--need to talk about this. To stimulate the conversation, I offer these thoughts.
Let's begin by understanding who the patient is. Orchestra boards are a species of the genus known as the nonprofit lay governing board. It is one of our nation's truly great civic inventions. Its three adjectives are cumbersome, but essential to its life.
"Nonprofit," of course, refers to the organization's corporate structure--itself a uniquely American creation. It has no investors or shareholders, but is the beneficiary of "investment" by philanthropists, foundations, and corporations, as well as by governments that refrain from taxing the organization and also allow generous tax incentives to donors.
"Lay" simply means that professional expertise is not required of board members. Trustees of academic institutions need not be educators (though university boards often include a few), and you don't have to be a curator to serve on a museum board. By reaching outside the profession, boards gain access to helpful information, wisdom, talent, and financial backing. "Lay" also encompasses another quality: These people are volunteers. Their board responsibilities must be sandwiched between the demands of remunerated work and their social and family lives. Their time, energy, and attention are limited in ways that managers' are not.
"Governing" is the board's role, as distinct from management. The board sets policy, hires the principal executive (and sometimes other key leaders), oversees financial affairs, and evaluates management performance.
If you think about it, this group of volunteer non-experts bears an extraordinary responsibility. The laws that establish nonprofit boards envision them in the role of guardian--for donors, who need assurance that the organization will use their gifts well and appropriately, and for the general public, which has an interest in the services, products, and intangible qualities the nonprofit brings to the community. "Fiduciary responsibility," the term often used to sum all this up, simply means the board is a vessel of public trust, assuring financial stability as well as high-quality, mission-appropriate programs. (The concept of trust, of course, leads to the most common term for nonprofit lay governing boards: "board of trustees.")
That's the end of the civics lesson. Now let's talk about how boards actually work in the orchestra field.
A Profile for Recruitment
The 915 orchestra members of the American Symphony Orchestra League are all nonprofits (or subsidiary operations of nonprofits), and all have lay boards that govern as public trusts. As will always be the case, some are very good at it, and others are not so good. How do we know which is which? And if we can identify the not-so-good boards, how can we make them better? For that matter, how can we be sure that even the good are so good that they will never slip back to not-so-good?
The question is easier to address if you break it into two parts: 1) where do trustees come from, and what makes for a good one? and 2) what are the ingredients of strong collective performance by all the trustees of a board?
People become members of boards because existing members elect them, so the nomination and election processes bear examination. Although there may be no premium on musical knowledge, any board candidate ought to bring something to the table--some expertise or capacity that could promote the orchestra's well-being and success. Knowledge of good business practices, organizational behavior or legal affairs, access to funding sources, or outright personal philanthropy would all qualify. Many boards believe representatives of the orchestra's "constituencies" are a valuable asset--musicians and volunteers, for example--because their presence helps mitigate the lack of expertise among the others in areas that are crucial to the orchestra's life.
Strong boards usually start with an articulated profile or "architecture" that, in some rough proportions, specifies the variety of professional, personal, or financial backgrounds it seeks in members. With a good profile in hand, a board can actively recruit people who fit its needs. If the current members are mostly older, youth may be sought; heavily male boards might look for more women candidates; boards with few wealthy individuals or few corporate executives can attempt to change the balance; if relationships with other nonprofits are essential, representatives from some of them might be sought. The common complaint, "we're a small community, and the good board prospects are already taken by others," is not a good excuse for failing to articulate a profile, and certainly no excuse for abandoning pursuit of the best and brightest.
Recruiting people who meet needs suggested by a profile usually yields better results than alternative methods. It's easy for a board to welcome those who have promoted themselves for membership, or who are friends of existing members; but the skill-sets, much less the motives, of these folks are rarely examined. Are they really prepared to take on this public trust? Or do they view membership as a privilege, a sign of social standing, a mere civic duty, or an opportunity to make friends or business connections?
Now let's turn to the board itself. Suppose it has recruited some really able people, according to a sensible profile. How does it teach them their responsibilities and the orchestra's mission and values? Sending new members the bylaws and other background materials is not enough, nor is a two-hour "orientation" that describes management's work. It's not a good idea to assume that new board members--even those with board experience in other nonprofits--understand what is expected of them. The education or development of board members should be substantial, and should continue throughout the member's tenure. And like any educational process, a "grading system" is a good motivator; effective board development programs include evaluation (or self-evaluation). Both management and the board itself should participate in the education, regardless of its contents and processes.
And that leads to an important principle I hinted at earlier: In successful organizations, the leaders work together, collaboratively, even though their responsibilities differ. The traditional metaphor to describe orchestra leadership is a "three-legged stool" (board chair, executive director, and music director), but increasingly orchestras have seen the wisdom of bringing in a fourth "leg"--musicians. The most interesting feature of the stool, regardless of how many "legs" it has, is that even in the most collaborative setting, the board chair is the first among equals, because the board, not the others, legally holds the public trust. Yet the board chair is the only one of the three or four who is not trained for the job!
The music director and musicians have trained for their work since they were children, and have honed their skills and expanded their artistic capacities to such levels that great art pours forth. The executive director and administrative colleagues have trained for their work in collegiate and graduate programs, in internships and fellowships, in special seminars and workshops, and most of all in their daily work over time. But the board chair? Or for that matter the board itself? Where is governance taught? How does one learn the quantity of information and range of practice necessary to carry out this role well? Even the most successful business leaders can stumble as trustees, because orchestras simply do not work the way organizations in the enterprise sector work.
In a way, the most striking feature of all nonprofit boards, including those that serve orchestras, is how well they do despite their lack of education and training. Which begs the question, how much better would they do, how much more successful would they be, how much more help might they offer, if they were trained?
The University Model
I am an erstwhile student of nonprofit boards. Early in my career, I was a Fellow of the American Council on Education, a program designed to train future college and university leaders, not unlike the American Symphony Orchestra League's Fellowship program. My fellowship took place in 1970, right after the civil rights movement crested, and just as the anti-Vietnam War wave gathered momentum. Campuses were in utter disarray. Academic programs fragmented into new and unfamiliar disciplines, social norms and behavioral mores changed overnight, conscience-driven protests erupted without notice, and issues arising from civil unrest trumped educational concerns everywhere. College and university presidents were beside themselves, and as they attempted to hold things together, they desperately needed steady governing boards for counsel, understanding, and support.
My fellowship project was to study boards, and I watched several in action during this period of extreme crisis. The alumni who peopled them (almost all were men who had graduated decades before) had little capacity to understand, much less cope with, what was happening on campus. The students are protesting? Call the cops. The students and faculty want courses in women's studies, black studies, environmental studies? We're committed to the core curriculum we had as undergraduates. The students don't like the way the college works? Get rid of them, and we'll find others.
I heard board members say these very things. If they seem coarse and inappropriate today, they were really problematic for faculty and administrative leaders then. The board "disconnect" occurred in both public and private academic institutions, large and small. College presidents were devastated.
It's important to say that the trustees and boards that failed so dismally then were composed of good, decent, generous, and intelligent people, who really cared about their institutions--or at least their concept of their institutions. But they were not trained, not educated, not prepared in any way for the firestorms.
The Association of Governing Boards came to the rescue. Prompted by the university presidents it was founded to serve, it began a vigorous board development program, and as a result, a sea change swept through boards of academic institutions during the late 1970s and 1980s. Even today, college and university boards are among the best nonprofit boards in the country, because of AGB's brilliant (and continuing) work.
I tell this story because it raises a question, one with a premise: The governing boards of orchestras are not as good as they might be. Their memberships are not strong enough, probably for reasons of recruitment or education. Their performance is less effective than it might be, probably because they tend to act on instinct rather than informed ideas, and in any event they lack sufficient motivation to overcome the time and energy constraints inherent in any volunteer's work.
Most orchestra boards I know are not nearly as bad as all those academic boards of the early 1970s, but nonetheless they are not good enough. And the question is, how could they be made better? Do orchestras need a crisis, like the one colleges and universities faced in the 1970s, to spark change?
In a way a crisis already exists, though it is quiet compared with what college campuses experienced long ago. No one is protesting; no arrests are being made; nothing is on fire. But the world in which orchestras live--the world of entertainment, art, and culture--is changing daily. If orchestras wish to thrive in the future, as they have in the past, those who are responsible for them need to bring great quantities of creative thought to a whole raft of issues, from repertoire to audience interest, from community relations and music education to organizational development and even trusteeship itself.
It would be a mistake for boards to take full responsibility for considering and acting on all these matters, but it would be equally wrong for them to be uninformed and unengaged. These are critical leadership issues. Management and music directors and musicians--the other legs--have training and expertise, and can be expected to contribute a lot to the process of creative thinking that will guide orchestras through the crisis of the early 21st century. But they cannot do the job alone, any more than college presidents of an earlier time could do it alone.
I have been part of the orchestra field for a mere six years. My personal and professional passion for what we do--and what we might do if we were stronger--has been in steady crescendo throughout that time. (Think of me as born-again.) And I believe the sine qua non of success in the orchestra field, today and in the future, rests in the quality of trustees and boards.
I'm not alone in this opinion. Here's what one journalist wrote recently, lamenting the impending failure of the orchestra in a nearby city: What makes one orchestra succeed and another fail? There are plenty of causes for the discrepancy, but the most important factor is the one that most audience members are probably least aware of: the board and its leadership. It is the board that sets financial priorities and makes sure--or fails to make sure--that management follows them. It is the board that creates a culture in which artistic excellence is either fostered or not. And it's the board that is responsible, above all, for forging the all-important relationship between an orchestra and its community, without which the musicians might as well be visiting artists in town for a series of tour dates.* Amen. Let me add another personal note. I am chief executive of an organization in the orchestra field, and it would be fair to ask whether I practice what I preach--whether the League's board is a model of sound trusteeship and excellent governance. I think highly of my board colleagues: They are motivated, intelligent, generous, loyal, and committed. But could they do better? Of course they could, and they would be the first to admit it. And I would be the first to say that I could lead them better, could provide them with more learning opportunities, and could derive more benefit from them as a result. This is not a confession of guilt. It is a plain statement of reality that all executives and board members must face. We are not as good as we could be. We could be better, and to get better, we need tools and opportunities. At the League's 2002 Conference in Philadelphia, I was able to observe three groups of orchestra trustees talking among themselves about their board experiences, and then I led a large forum that included those trustees, and a good number of orchestra managers as well. The trustees spoke with candor and passion of their desire to get things right, and their deeply felt need for help. Both trustees and managers said they believe improvement is possible--some said necessary--and seemed certain that stronger boards would translate into stronger orchestras. I'm not sure exactly where this might lead. Indeed, the journey is all the more intriguing to me because the destination is not yet in sight. We have established a discussion-mechanism on the Internet, called Trusteeship Today, which allows me to carry on a kind of dialogue with a large number of trustees and managers about the future of trusteeship and board governance in American orchestras. (For information on how to join, see box, page 68.) We are sharing ideas and concepts, and as the year goes by we will begin to consider concrete proposals. We hope to bring this to a head at the League's 2003 Conference in San Francisco. Then Big Questions will be posed: Is it possible to invent a trustee and board development program that addresses the needs of the orchestra field well, and if it is invented, will orchestras and their trustees use its resources? Will they be willing to make serious investments--of money and of time--to strengthen governance and leadership? We cannot (and should not) attempt answers to those questions now. But if the Trusteeship Today group presents a Board Development program, and if managers and board members agree that it properly addresses the issues, the Big Questions will beg for Big Answers.

Attention, financial planners: The next time a client ignores your advice, calls to ask you about something Jim Cramer said, or informs you that their friend's adviser charges much, much less, remember that it could always be worse. You could be a reporter.
In fact, hardly anyone has it better than you.
Financial planners have the fifth-best career in a ranking of 200 jobs released this week by Internet job-hunting site CareerCast.com, run by online classified advertising company Adicio Inc. Only software engineers, actuaries, human resources managers and dental hygienists did better than you.
According to the experts, financial planners have less stress, a better working environment and fewer physical demands than most other jobs.
Hardly anyone makes more than you, too.
At an average midcareer salary of $104,000, financial planners out-earn the rest of the top 10 professions.
Hardly anyone has better job prospects.
Expected employment growth, income potential and unemployment figures look better for financial planners than for most other professions.
Contrast that to the woes of those at the bottom, job-wise.
Newspaper reporters, to pick one dismal example, ranked 195th out of the 200 rated, scoring just below waitresses, who have less stress, and better employment prospects.
According to the report, newspaper reporters have jobs that are twice as stressful, more physically demanding, and have much worse physical and emotional environments than financial planners. Job prospects and unemployment rates are dismal, with negative growth figures. Pay of $35,000 is just over a third of what planners make.
Rounding out the bottom five are lumberjacks, dairy farmers, enlisted military personnel and oil rig workers. That makes newspaper reporters the most likely in the bottom five to have big college loans to pay off.
Keep all that in mind the next time you run into one. The least you can do is buy 'em a drink.

Town employees and members of the Board of Education, along with UConn Professor Thomas Worthley, put on their boots and hard hats to take part in a timber harvest at Crescent Lake last week.
Prof. Worthley from the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources cut down at least five ash trees as part of the town's ongoing forestry maintenance project, and milled logs into lumber for Southington High School's vocational agriculture (vo-ag) and technical education departments.
About a dozen students from the vo-ag department spent the morning hours learning the basics of felling trees and safety issues from Professor Worthley. Pat O'Keefe, a teacher of the Carl M. Vocational Agriculture Center, said he hopes to apply what he learned from Professor Worthley to the classroom.
"What we are learning today—we can bring to students in the classroom," O'Keefe said. "Students will benefit from this project, and hopefully we can return some lumber to the town."
Juniors Kelly Toomey, of Southington, and Donald Pringle, of Waterbury, who are students in the vo-ag program, observed the demonstration at Crescent Lake. The students said it was a great opportunity to enhance what they have learned in class.
"It was eye-opening—I did not realize how much work was put into milling," Pringle said. "I did not know there was so much lumber equipment involved," Toomey said.
Town Councilor Dawn Miceli also learned from the milling process. Calling the project "experiential learning" that will serve as a real-life application for vo-ag students, Miceli said the project is a win-win for students and the town as a whole.
"It is a sharing of resources between the town and the Board of Education," Miceli said. "We are providing lumber that taxpayers do not have to pay for the school."
Miceli and Professor Worthley also said this is just a small project within a larger project for the town that would involve a commercial operation at Crescent Lake, which has withered trees from previous storms as well as other plants that pose environmental threats including the Japanese Barberry that attracts ticks, which carry Lyme disease.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton launched the Civil Society 2.0 initiative two years ago to build capacity among grassroots organizations. Since then, the State Department has dedicated itself to increasing the digital literacy of those working in civil society through the TechCamp program, orchestrating half a dozen camps around the world with more planned for 2012.
Our most recent project, TechCamp: Bucharest, was held in the Romanian capital's historic Central Library and hosted in partnership with the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Romanian Ministry of Communications and Information Society, the International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX), and the National Democratic Institute (NDI). The agenda focused on helping working-level staff from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) serving Roma and other socio-economically disadvantaged communities, including people with disabilities and orphans, use technology and digital tools to advance their missions.
Staff from over 50 civil society organizations participated alongside local and international technology experts, as well as representatives from the Gates Foundation Global Libraries Project and the State Department's American Corners in Romania, to explore current challenges they face and understand how technology can help address them. For example, Eric Gunderson from Development Seed worked with Roma NGOs to find ways to collect more accurate data on Roma families to help better inform the communities in which they live. They started by mapping recent census data on the Roma, a population which participants agreed has been historically under-reported. Take a look at Eric's blog about the TechCamp and the map they developed here.
Other participants worked in small groups with technologists to discuss a variety of ways technology could be employed to help achieve their objectives. Examples included:
· Developing a jobs platform for the disabled;
· Working to change the image of the Roma in the media, including highlighting positive role models;
· Using technologies to decrease the high school dropout rate among Roma students;
· Engaging people through technology during emergencies such as earthquakes and floods to increase the efficiency of the response;
· Linking people leaving orphanages to those providing job training or housing; and
· Reaching isolated communities with limited access to technology.
These insightful discussions lead to detailed participant-generated action plans with dates for follow-on activities. We anticipate innovative initiatives from TechCamp alumni in the months to come that yield tangible results for the communities they serve. In the long run, many of the NGOs are now connected with new resources and services available in local libraries that will help them advance their causes, and we see terrific potential for the TechCamp network built among activists, librarians, and American Corners staff to provided a valuable forum for relationships that create new avenues for cooperation -- a critical facet of every TechCamp's success.

Is the U.S. cotton industry beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel? Or is that the light of an oncoming freight train?
Although cotton prices have been nothing to get excited about this winter, some analysts, including the International Cotton Advisory Committee's Terry Townsend, believe cotton's dismal outlook of recent years may be brightening.
"The 1990s was a lost decade for the world industry, but this decade will be one of growth," said Townsend, speaking at the Beltwide Cotton Production Conference in January.
A former economist with USDA, Townsend says that cotton consumption is rising with much of the growth occurring in the Commonwealth of Independent States (former Soviet republics) and in Mainland China. Analysts predict China's consumption will rise to 22 million bales in 2000-2001 after holding steady at 21 million in recent years.
The ICAC, an association of 43 governments of countries with an interest in cotton, forecasts total world cotton consumption will rise by less than 1 percent in 2000-2001 and in 2001-2002 to 92 million bales.
But, the change in China's cotton consumption pattern could portend better days for world cotton sales, says Townsend.
"The important thing is that even though the rate of growth is lower than for chemical fibers, cotton consumption is rising again after a decade of stagnation around 85 million bales," he noted.
Two factors caused the stagnation: the breakup of the USSR in 1991 and government policy in China. The former resulted in the subtraction of about 9 million bales from world consumption while the latter appears to have led to conscious decision to limit cotton consumption to about 21 million bales.
"Consequently, consumption outside the former Soviet Union, Central Europe and China needed to rise by 9 million bales in the 1990s just to keep the world steady," he said. "However, both situations are improving. Mill use is rising in the CIS and China's is estimated at 22 million bales, possibly reflecting a change in government policy."
Townsend said China's consumption appears to be rising at an unusually steep rate because of the internal situation in China. In 1999, the government announced it was reducing its price guarantee to cut stocks and lower procurement costs.
China's cotton yarn production is estimated at 1.8 million tons for the three months of August through October 2000, compared with 1.5 million tons during the same first three months of the marketing year in 1999.
"Even assuming that the proportion of chemical fiber in cotton yarn is rising from 36 percent last season to 37 percent this season, mill use of cotton in China is rising from 20 million to 21 million bales," he notes. "Adding about 2 million bales for use in all non-mill categories results in a use estimate of 23 million bales in 2000-2001."
China's 2000-2001 production, meanwhile, is forecast at 20 million bales, leaving a possible deficit of 3 million bales. As a result, observers like cotton merchant William B. Dunavant Jr. say China could come into the market for a significant amount of cotton in December of 2001 or January or February of 2002.
It's nothing new for China's potential purchases to create excitement in the U.S. market, says Townsend.
"Over the last two decades, no other factor on the cotton supply and use balance sheet has had as much of an impact on year-to-year changes in average cotton prices as changes in net trade by China," he said. "The forecast rise in imports by China to more than 2 million bales by next season is driving the forecast of next year's average A Index higher."
Clouding the outlook is the recent forecast by the country's National Statistics Bureau that China will produce a crop of 19.98 million 480-pound bales in the 2000 season. Most western analysts have put the number around 18.5 million bales.
Analysts also are predicting that 2001 U.S. cotton plantings will be about the same as 2000 to slightly higher despite the failure of New York December futures to rise out of the low 60-cent range. With improved weather, economists say the United States could produce a crop as high as 19.5 million bales in 2001 versus 2001's 17.2 million.
In either case, the result could be higher stocks in China or the United States and lower average prices than farmers received in 2000.
In his annual market insight speech at the Beltwide, Dunavant discounted the report by the Chinese statistics agency.
"I speculate that since the Chinese National Statistics Bureau is a big political structure in China, their number has political ramifications, and it seems they are trying to keep the domestic cotton prices low to benefit the Chinese textile industry<' he said.
"Recently, the new crop local Chinese prices have been quite high. At best, their information from cotton producing provinces is quite primitive."

In Oklahoma City suburb hit by tornado, new school year awaits children who survived storm
MOORE, Okla. – Nearly three months after a twister blasted through Moore, Okla., and destroyed two elementary schools, students are going back to class.
And although many families are ready to return to a familiar routine, parents and teachers say many children in the Oklahoma City suburb have fears that are still fresh and a lot more healing to do.
One young girl is so afraid of the wind that she carries headphones to block out the noise. Other kids are traumatized by memories of their narrow escape and friends who died just a few feet away from them.
Classes resume Friday in temporary buildings until Plaza Towers Elementary and Briarwood Elementary are rebuilt. The May 20 tornado killed 24 people and wrecked scores of homes and businesses.

Learn how to find a flatbed that's right for your operation and what you can do to take full advantage of its capabilites.
Not long ago, the perception was that screen printing and digital inkjet printing represented two distinctly different worlds: Screen printing was for high-volume, lower-resolution work and inkjet for low-volume, photo-quality images. Today, the worlds are converging as screen printers are discovering that the latest inkjet technology can improve the efficiency, productivity, and profitability of their businesses while expanding the range of applications and types of customers for whom they print.
What are flatbed UV inkjets?
Inkjet equipment has become widely known for efficient, high-quality, multicolor printing on flexible substrates. "Industrial grade" systems now print at speeds up to more than 4000 sq ft/hr, and some offer resolutions exceeding 1000 dpi. One of the most appealing aspects of inkjet technology among screen printers is that it eliminates many of the setup tasks that make screen printing impractical for short production runs (Figure 1).
Flatbed inkjet equipment using UV-curable inks takes these advantages and makes them applicable to all of the rigid materials screen printers use on a daily basis, including those listed in Figure 2. It also allows shops to print on numerous materials they may never have dreamed of using before, such as metal, plywood, and glass. Additional benefits of UV flatbed technology include ease of use, quick changeover of jobs and materials, low maintenance, and high reliability.
High-quality flatbed UV inkjet printers are capable of handling both rigid and flexible media up to 6 ft (1.8 m) or more in width (Figure 3). They allow for fast automated and semi-automated change-overs to materials of different thicknesses and widths and may include tight integration with sophisticated automated finishing equipment, such as cutting plotters. Of course, this ability to handle materials of varying sizes is not useful if the inks do not adhere well to them. This is where UV-curable inks come in.
The setting and subsequent adhesion of UV-curable inks is triggered when they are exposed to an ultraviolet light source during the printing process. Management of this UV light source gives users a wide range of control over the ink-curing process, something that is not possible with solvent-based inks. UV-curing variables include intensity and wavelength of the light and duration of exposure.

When the ink dries on letters-of-intent, coaches start to envision the impact their new players will make.
There is no doubt Lisa Johnson wanted an immediate impact from her freshmen but there aren't any guarantees when the transition from high school to college takes hold. For this group of freshmen, however, the impact was everything their head coach could have imagined.
"The freshmen have been a blessing," said Johnson, who used the signing of five newcomers to fill a team that had only one junior Amanda Jacobs, and one sophomore Dani Madden, returning. "All of them have shown up at different times. ... We need to work on our consistency but that definitely will come with experience at the college level."
Johnson said Jacobs and Madden have been instrumental in providing the type of leadership to the young group that has helped ease their transition. Both, however, sustained injuries Jacobs a wrist and Madden a concussion, that impacted their fall play.
"Both of them have done an excellent job of helping the freshmen transition to campus life and college golf," Johnson said. "It was unfortunate that Amanda hurt her wrist so early but she's a tough competitor and very dependable. Her wrist is healed now and we look for her to have her best tournament performances of her Vandal career this spring."
Her supporting cast is rated No. 3 in Golfstat.com's Freshman Impact Rankings.
Kayla Mortellaro leads the way with a team-best scoring average of 73.33, which includes two top-10 outings and a fall during which she never finished out of the top 25. Her best tournament was a runner-up at the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational. Next was a tie for fourth at the Giustina Memorial Classic.
Teo Poplawski had the team's second-best scoring average with a 76.80 after playing in five of six fall events. Her top outing was a tie for seventh at the Challenge at Wolfdancer.
Rounding out the freshmen group are Frida Nilsson, who had a fall average of 78.33 in six tournaments; Annika Karlsson, with a 79.22 in six events, and Gracie Schory, who saw action at the Heather Farr Invitational and the Giustina Memorial Classic.
"They've proven to be a team of freshmen who are good at ham-and-egging it, which has been critical to our success thus far," Johnson said. "All have proven they can shoot low. I'm extremely impressed with how they handled the need for their scores to count.
"It's been great to coach such a willing, hard working and highly skilled team. They have the ability to be, by far, the most successful women's golf team at Idaho."
A promising fall leads to a spring with potential for the University of Idaho men's golf team.
Coach Jon Reehoorn's blend of newcomers and veterans yielded what might be expected of a comparatively new collection of players. There were highs second at the 18-team Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate and fourth at the 18-team Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate, and a couple events the Vandals were glad to put behind them.
One thing was clear the emergence of true freshman Jarred Bossio as a college-ready player. Bossio led the team in scoring with an average of 73.44 strokes per round, which propelled him to two top-10 finishes and a total of four top-25 efforts in six tournaments.
Senior Russell Grove, the most veteran of the Vandals, had a solid fall despite forgetting to sign his scorecard in the season opener and failing to finish. For the five tournaments he completed, Grove averaged 74.47 strokes per round and had one top-10 finish.
The rest of the lineup was a mix of juniors Brad Tensen and David Nuhn and freshmen Christopher Cho and Stefan Richardson as Reehoorn sought the consistency throughout the ranks he knows the Vandals need to be contenders.
"The key this spring is simple consistency," Reehoorn said. "As a team, we have to be able to be ready to play each and every time we tee it up in a tournament. A lot of that has to do with believing we belong with the upper echelon of college golf teams, which I'm confident we do."
Reehoorn's belief in his team is founded on what he sees regularly during tournament play and practice rounds. He just wants to see the same high level every stroke, every round.
"Winning the WAC championship is a realistic goal for this team," Reehoorn said, "but we've got to be more consistent each and every day whether it is in the weight room or at practice . If we can give a consistent effort in everything, I believe it will lead to more consistent results on the course in competition."
Key in achieving the goal of a conference title is the play of Grove and Bossio along with the two juniors Tensen and Nuhn.
"Jarred definitely is going to be a key to our success in the spring but, ultimately, our success will be determined by getting more consistent play from the rest of the lineup," Reehoorn said. "Each of them has shown the ability to play at a high level. I have to help them play three solid rounds per tournament instead of just one or two.
"Russell has the ability to win the individual conference championship. For him, it is a matter of believing he belongs. If he does, he will have the opportunity to put himself in position to win this spring."

Using a food processor, fitted with a metal blade, combine the egg, onions, green onions, celery, garlic, mustard, parsley and lemon juice. Puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. With the machine running and in a steady stream add the oil. Process until all of the oil is incorporated and the mixture is thick. Season with salt and pepper.
In a mixing bowl, toss the crabmeat with 1/2 of the Ravigote, reserving the other half for a later use. Season with salt and pepper.
Season the onion rings with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Place the onions on the grill and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the onions and set aside.
In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add the olive oil.
Season the potatoes with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot add the potatoes. Saute for about 4 to 6 minutes or until the potatoes start to brown. Season the fillets with salt and pepper. Season the cornmeal with Essence. Dredge the fillets in the cornmeal, coating completely.
In another large saute pan, over medium heat, add the vegetable oil.
When the oil is hot, pan-fry the fillets until golden, about 4 minutes on each side. Add the onions and continue to saute for 4 minutes.
Add the parsley to the potato mixture. Mix well.
Remove the fillets and drain on paper towels.
To serve, spoon the ravigote in the center of each plate. Spoon some of the potatoes in the center of the sauce. Lay the fillets directly on top of the potatoes. Garnish with green onions.

MEMPHIS vs. CLIPPERS
Tipoff: 7:30 p.m., Staples Center
TV/Radio: Prime Ticket/KFWB 980, KWKW 1330
Update: The Clippers' real rivalry is renewed with the team they've battled in the playoffs the last two seasons, with the Clippers winning in seven games in the 2012 first round and Memphis advancing in six games last season. … The Clippers (7-3) have won four games in a row overall and are 5-0 at home. … The Clippers might have a new coach and some new players in the mix but they're sure any game against the Grizzlies will be a heated one. "The new players are not naïve," Clippers guard Chris Paul said. "They have television and watched the playoffs. We have a new team that plays a little bit different so it's going to be interesting to see how the game goes, because it's a big game for us. We have been pretty good here at home and we have to keep it that way." … The Clippers are averaging 118.6 points at home. … Paul stretched his streak of double-doubles in points and assists to 10 games to open the season. … DeAndre Jordan is third in the league in rebounding at 13.2 per game. "He's been terrific," Coach Doc Rivers said. "I think he's been frustrated at times that everyone hasn't caught on like him (defensively) at times and that's something we tell him — you just keep doing your job and everybody will follow suit. He's had an impact in every game with his defense." … After defeating the Lakers on Friday, Memphis played Sunday evening at Sacramento. … The Grizzlies went into Sunday giving up an average of only 97.9 points per game.

Consider you have to complete a UI content review for the product you work on. Wouldn't things be easier if you could use Acrobat text-edit-markup features to highlight the relevant content embedded in images? Of course, you can always add a sticky note in an approximate location, but that isn't quite as effective!
So how do you enable PDF text edits for embedded text? Here's how:
- Paste the screenshot in your favorite word-processing or layout tool. For example, FrameMaker.
- Generate a PDF of the page containing the screenshot.
- Open the PDF in Acrobat and select Document > OCR Text Recognition > Recognize Text Using OCR.
- Once the text recognition process is over, you'll be able to select the embedded text and use the Acrobat text edit tools on it.
This Help article discusses Acrobat text edit features in greater detail. For more information about the OCR features in Acrobat 9, refer to this Help article.
