A founder of Harvard's Copyright Working Group, Mr. Courtney has given numerous workshops for librarians and archivists at Harvard. During his visit to Dumbarton Oaks, he gave a compelling presentation spanning the history of copyright law and the practical applications of current legal code. He also met with representatives from multiple departments, and answered some of our thorny questions about orphan works, electronic content, facsimiles, and best practices for fair use. This visit was a terrific opportunity to work through difficult questions and to create new contacts with our colleagues in Cambridge, MA.

More assistance for limited English speakers; more translated documents on the Web
(Long Island, NY) The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance announced today it has expanded its free interpretation and translation services to the public.
This enhanced multilingual support is the result of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo's Executive Order of last year directing the Department, and all State agencies, to help people with limited English proficiency better interact with State government.
Translated documents will be offered in New York's most commonly spoken non-English languages – Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Italian, Korean, and Haitian Creole. The Department also has bilingual staff able to provide interpretation services in 37 languages, including Vietnamese, Swahili, Polish, Farsi, and Hebrew.
The Tax Department has been providing a limited number of Web pages and documents in Spanish, as well as making interpretation services in multiple languages available for taxpayers. Beginning today, the array of vital documents is significantly expanded, with each of them available in the six languages noted above.
"An individual's language should not be a barrier to receiving information and assistance from our Department," said Commissioner of Taxation and Finance Thomas H. Mattox. "Our goal is to help taxpayers with limited English skills better understand our publications and services, such as money-saving credits, for which they may be eligible. We applaud Governor Cuomo for his leadership on this critical initiative."
The Department is now including a brief multi-language insert in many of its mailings to individuals, businesses and tax return preparers. Recipients of the notice are guided to assistance in each of six non-English languages. (see attachment)
Margaret Sherman, Deputy Commissioner for Processing and Taxpayer Services, said that over time the Department expects to expand the number of translated documents available at its Web site as part of an ongoing effort to broaden access to information for all taxpayers. "Taxpayers who receive notices from us can now reach our call center staff and ask for the document to be interpreted into any language," she added.

String Bean Chicken Skillet
I started to prepare a chicken stir-fry one day and discovered I was out of frozen snow peas. So I tossed in green beans instead with a few leftover wax beans for color. I've been making the recipe this way ever since.—Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida
Total TimePrep/Total Time: 30 min.
Makes6 servings
- 1/2 pound fresh green beans, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1/2 pound fresh wax beans, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 can (8 ounces) pineapple chunks
- 1 medium sweet red pepper, julienned
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- Hot cooked rice
- Place beans in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 3 minutes; drain and set aside. Meanwhile, flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness; cut into 1/2-in. strips. In a large skillet, stir-fry chicken in oil for 3-4 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove with a slotted spoon.
- In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and soy sauce until smooth. Drain the pineapple, reserving juice; set pineapple aside. Stir the juice into the soy sauce mixture; set aside.
- In the same skillet, stir-fry red pepper and onion for 5 minutes. Add the chicken, beans, pineapple, salt and ginger. Gradually stir in the soy sauce mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with rice.

That's the reaction that Douglas K. Woods, president of AMT-The Association For Manufacturing Technology (amtonline.org), the organizer of IMTS 2012, wants you to have when you leave McCormick Place after your visit to the show.
"If people don't walk out saying, 'Wow, this is the coolest industry in the world,' we did something wrong," Woods says.
He's confident that the organizers have done things right, ranging from the Emerging Technology Center (Booth N-650) to the IMTS Job Center (Booth W-200) and plenty in between. He's confident that the array of new technologies on display is impressive and compelling. What's more, they've coordinated with Deutsche Messe so that the Industrial Automation North America event is being held in parallel to IMTS at McCormick Place and attendees can see an entire suite of productive equipment and systems.
Woods was appointed president of AMT in 2009, so the 2010 show was his first—as an AMT executive. With many years experience as an executive at various manufacturing technology firms, 2010 wasn't Woods' first IMTS by any means. As he compares the state of the economy that existed at the time of IMTS 2010 with that of IMTS 2012 he explains, "In 2010, things were starting to get good, but now all indicators are very positive."
He ticks off a number of metrics, from equipment utilization rates to on-going equipment replacement rates, and says that, directionally, things are looking up. Consequently, IMTS 2012 is ideally timed for those manufacturers who are looking for the ways and means to become more productive, he says. And more competitive.
While Woods acknowledges that not every sector of the economy is growing as well as durable goods, he suggests that there are reasons to be optimistic.
But he points out that many people are being more realistic than had been the case at other periods when the economy began to rise out of slumps. Take hiring. While the employment numbers have not been particularly notable, "before, people would hire willy-nilly," Woods says. That wasn't particularly efficient, as it didn't result in having people with the skill set required by modern manufacturing. So employment numbers in and of themselves aren't a really solid indicator of how well companies are doing.
"People I know could hire four people, but now what they're doing is hiring one or two to see how they do" and to see how well the business holds up, Woods says. Then if things go well, the other two are added.
There is a greater emphasis on risk management. Such a measured approach allows companies to grow and prosper in the long-run rather than in short bursts.
Another aspect of managing risk that Woods sees occurring is that companies are beginning to deploy different but related technologies within their facilities. This could take the form of multitasking or multifunctional machine tools or even additive technology systems.
"They're asking, 'How can we be positioned for extended, long-term growth? If there is a dip in the economy, what separates me from the average bear?'" What's the competitive advantage that a given company can have over its competitors in a different field—an advantage that likely takes the form of providing customers with something extra, as in the ability to perform more operations?
Woods says it is important that manufacturers become not only cognizant of, but also familiar with, new manufacturing technologies to maintain a competitive edge in a global economy that is becoming all the more challenging.
"From an economy reality standpoint, if you're good at making something with knee mills, lathes and grinders because you have great toolmakers and technicians, the truth is that those parts will be made on new technologies," he observes.
For example, if company A is using three separate machines (mill, lathe and grinder) and company B is using a multitasking machine that can perform all three operations, then company B is going to be at a competitive advantage.
While there may be some concern regarding the complexity of the multifunctional approach versus the simpler one, Woods, who previously headed a company that designed and built special machines, notes, "With the improved reliability of subcomponents, integrating devices doesn't turn into a nightmare." So the capability comes along with the confidence that it will do what needs to get done.
One tool that he sees getting greater use among the manufacturing community in the U.S., by shops small to factories large, is MTConnect (mtconnect.org), the open, industry standard that enables shopfloor machines to not only be integrated but to also exchange data with analytics software. What is notable, Woods says, is that various companies are using the data they're collecting from their machinery and equipment to great advantage. For example they're able to determine things ranging from spindle uptime to energy use such that not only are they able to optimize existing capital equipment, but they also can determine areas in their operations where new equipment would be advantageous.
MTConnect's capabilities are readily leveraged by MTInsight (mtinsight.org), which AMT offers to help turn data into various reports.
"By performing analytics, people can leverage knowledge, which is a home-run for U.S. manufacturing," Woods says, explaining that the digital tech savvy that's common in the U.S. isn't as prevalent in other parts of the world.
In fact, he thinks that by supplementing the increased productivity of various types of machine tools and related tooling and equipment with digital capabilities that lead to better analysis of operations and overall performance and effectiveness, U.S. manufacturers can be highly competitive with manufacturers anywhere in the world, even in places that have low wage rates. Add in factors like complex supply chains and shipping costs, and the "reshoring" that is talked about with increased frequency becomes a sensible economic reality.
"We've worked hard to make this IMTS a really cool thing," Woods says.
What's possibly cooler is the fact that, by taking advantage of the technologies that are on display and in action, you have the opportunity to gain an economic competitive advantage, whether you're competing with someone in Syracuse, Stockholm or Shanghai.

OTTAWA - Stephen Harper says Canadians can rest assured the government has a Plan B in place should another recession strike.
But analysts warn a second slump now or in the near future may not look anything like the 2008-09 financial crisis that wound up setting Canada's economy back 3.3 per cent, shuttering plants and idling 430,000 workers.
It may be worse, they say. And if it is, neither Ottawa, the provinces, nor the Bank of Canada have as many bullets to fire at the problem as four years ago.
TD Bank economist Craig Alexander noted that another global recession stemming from a financial system breakdown in Europe is still not the most likely outcome, although it is not to be dismissed.
Perversely, he said, it may happen because it's the only thing that can get European leaders to take appropriate action.
"The Germans don't want to bail out the others and set up an ongoing fiscal transfer union, but that's where they need to go. The others want to limit the amount of sovereignty over fiscal policies they have to turn over to Germany, but that's where they need to go," he explained.
"The real conundrum is that you may actually need a financial crisis to force them to do the things they don't want to do."
In his interview with CBC on Tuesday night, the prime minister said he realizes a financial meltdown in Europe would send shockwaves across the world and eventually hit Canada. He referred back to 2008, when a U.S.-centred financial crisis froze inter-bank lending, panicked markets, sapped confidence and ultimately set off a chain of events that resulted in the worst global recession since the big one in the 1930s.
"We do have contingencies in place to minimize the impact on us as we did in '08-'09," he added, offering few details.
Economists say there is little new in terms of a plan and what Harper is likely talking about is a reprise of the hastily-cobbled together 2009 "Economic Action Plan" budget.
Along with the provinces, Ottawa injected $52 billion of two-year stimulus by way of construction projects, home renovation and other tax credits, more generous employment insurance rules, job sharing programs, and business tax cuts. On the finance side, Ottawa helped free up credit by offering to take up to $125 billion of mortgage assets off bank books, while the Bank of Canada reduced the cost of borrowing for firms and households by slashing its overnight rate from 4.5 per cent in late 2007 to a then unheard of 0.25 per cent.
It worked, if imperfectly, said Doug Porter, deputy chief economist with BMO Capital Markets.
Canada's recession lasted about nine months — a shorter duration than in most advanced nations. And job losses in relative terms were half those in the U.S.
But doing a 'stimulus budget, the sequel' won't be as easy, Porter added.
"Obviously we're starting from a different point," he noted. "We headed into a recession last time with much higher interest rates and with a budget surplus."
The Bank of Canada can still take its policy rate from the current one per cent back to 0.25, but the impact on real-world interest rates won't be nearly as pronounced since they are already at near-historic lows.
That would leave the heavy lifting up to governments. But in Ottawa and many provincial capitals, particularly Ontario and Quebec, the cupboard is, if not bare, at least depleted. Ottawa is currently running about $24 billion under balance, while the fiscal positions of the country's two biggest provinces — where the recession would be most brutal — are worse.
"There's obviously only so much we can do on the fiscal side before we tip over to the other side and serious deficit and debt problems," Porter noted.
Ottawa's $600-billion debt as a slice of gross domestic product is about 35 per cent, but if provincial debt is included, that figure rises to a not so safe zone approaching 70 per cent — and as politicians are fond of saying, there is only one taxpayer to wring revenues from.
Still, David Madani of Capital Economics says the credit door is open to the Canadian government more than for many other countries.
"Should more government support be needed, they have the scope to do that without worrying investors, we're regarded as a safe haven," he said.
Analysts say one of the actions governments would likely take first is to cancel austerity programs and place a longer time-horizon on plans to balance budgets.
For Ottawa, that would likely mean delaying implementation of employment insurance changes envisioned for an economy facing what Finance Minister Jim Flaherty called "unprecedented job shortages" in some sectors and regions.
Instead, the government may want to make EI more generous, expand job-sharing, and freeze or reduce payroll taxes.
One of the best ways to cushion people from an economic shock, says Porter, is to put money in their pockets, especially those most affected.
"I think we could learn a few lessons from what Germany did (in 2008-09)," said Porter. "They leaned heavily on job-sharing and some wage subsidies to maintain employment. That helps maintain consumer confidence and incomes."
Infrastructure is the go to measure for most governments in bad times, for the simple reason that it is an investment for the future and directly creates jobs in the present.
Toronto economic consultant Dale Orr says the problem with the approach this time is there would be fewer "shovel ready" projects to tackle because many have already been done.
Alexander suggested one alternative would be more targeted, long-term projects, such as a new Canada-U.S. bridge at Windsor, Ont., although they have the disadvantage of requiring a lengthy pre-construction periods.
Orr would favour tax reductions weighted to lower income Canadians, who are likely to spend the extra cash.
One program unlikely to be brought back is the home renovation tax credit, some say. While it was immensely popular, the last thing Ottawa should encourage at this time is for households to take on more debt.
Most economists take the government at its word when it says it would be willing to again step into the breach in case of another emergency. But it may go into the trenches with less ammo, they add.
"I think the government would respond with some fiscal stimulus, but it would have to be quite targeted and more limited," said Alexander.
"I don't think we could have the big stimulus plans that we had the last (time), the cost of that would create enormous problems down the road."

Rev. Mark S. Hanson to receive Honorary Degree from Augsburg College
Augsburg College will award the honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's (ELCA) Presiding Bishop, the Rev. Mark S. Hanson, during commencement ceremonies at the College on Sunday, May 19, 1:30 p.m. Melby Hall.
Bishop Hanson, who is a 1968 graduate of the College and the immediate past Bishop of the St. Paul Area Synod, will be only the second honorary degree recipient in the history of the institution. The College awarded its first honorary degree in 2000 to Congressman Martin Sabo, who also is an Augsburg alumnus.
"Mark has exemplified Augsburg's educational mission in his pastoral work and in his leadership of the Church," commented President William V. Frame. "He has brought a profound theology to the service of the City and a graceful courage to the inclusion of wide diversity in the Christian communion."
A native of St. Paul, Hanson earned his Master of Divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary in New York where he was a Rockefeller Fellow. He was ordained in 1974. He went on to further study at Luther Seminary and Harvard University Divinity School where he was a Merrill Fellow. Prior to becoming bishop of the St. Paul Synod, he served as pastor at three Twin Cities'-area churches -- Prince of Glory Lutheran Church in North Minneapolis; Edina Community Lutheran Church in Edina; and University Lutheran Church of Hope in Minneapolis.
Hanson, who was elected to his current post in 2001, is the third Presiding Bishop of the ELCA and the second Augsburg graduate to hold that position. The Rev. Herbert Chilstrom, now retired, was elected the ELCA's first presiding bishop in 1987.
Graduation ceremonies will be held at Augsburg beginning at 1:30 p.m. This year's commencement speaker is James A. Johnson, vice chairman of Perseus L.L.C., a merchant banking and private equity firm based in Washington, DC, and New York City, and past chair and CEO of Fannie Mae.

Comparisons with EOP C04 Series
On the following pages you will find a comparison between the individual solutions of the analysis centres and the IVS combination with respect to the C04 series. The C04 series provides Earth orientation parameters (EOP):
- Polar motion with respect to the crust X-Pole and Y-Pole,
- Irregularities of the rotation angle UT1-UTC and LOD,
- Celestial pole offsets dX and dY
referred to the precession-nutation model IAU2006 and with respect to the ITRF2008.
These values are smoothed at 1-day intervals and published by the IERS Earth Orientation Centre. Since 1th December 2011, the EOP C04 series is delivered with 30-day latency and includes only final definitive values, cf. IERS message 198. A description of the C04 series can be found at the C04-Guide.
For comparison, the missing X- and Y-Pole Rate of the C04 series are determined by a weighted linear interpolation of the X- and Y-Pole values, respectively.
The comparison is embedded into an interactive tool containing data since 1983. The values are smoothed by a moving median. The subset size of the sliding window is ±35 days and is shifted forward each 7 days. The user is free to display the graphics of the individual solution and to choose the time-spans.
The statistic table is updated according to the chosen data set(s).

Artist Profile: Olivia Erlanger
The latest in a series of interviews with artists who have a significant body of work that makes use of or responds to network culture and digital technologies.
Olivia Erlanger x Ned Siegel x NanoCorp, Suggestion of a House Slipper, The Refusal to get Dressed, Spending a Season Dreaming of Sunlight only to Prefer it Dark (2014)
Language plays a huge part in your work. The titles of works range from being exploratory—The Space Between My Hand and What it Holds (2014)—to almost explanatory (Olivia Erlanger x NanoCorp x Ned Siegel Suggestion of a House Slipper, The Refusal to get Dressed, Spending a Season Dreaming of Sunlight only to Prefer it Dark. Painted Leather Slippers, 2014), and are always poetic (Everything that Rises Sinks into Mud, 2015). How do you come up with these titles? How do you envision their connection to the work?
A title is a guide.

"Which Pixel am I standing on?," an online exhibition on Maria Stenfors's gallery website, opened on July 15. What does the exhibition title mean? What is the work like and what is the relationship between the work and the exhibition?
The gallery website displays an image of the Network Utility application performing a traceroute; the image links to the URL of the work, www.whichpixelamistandingon.com. This automatically plays a short looped animation of merging landscapes. There's a textbox below the video asking for GPS coordinates and when these are submitted the viewer can download a digital image.
I'm interested in thinking about what is tangible in digital representations of space and I suppose the title makes me think about how objects and structures "exist" there. Boundaries come into this as well: how you define exactly where you might be within that digital space.

Julia Weist, Reach (2015), displayed at 107-37 Queens Blvd, Forest Hills, New York
The latest in a series of interviews with artists who have a significant body of work that makes use of or responds to network culture and digital technologies.
Reach, your first public artwork, a billboard produced 14 x 48, is up on Queens Boulevard. Can you talk about that work and your thinking about the connection between public art and the public space online?
Reach is a billboard featuring an analog word that I made digital. This word was used in print in the 1600s, but rarely since and never online until earlier this year when I created a single search result for it. I worked carefully with Google's Webmaster Search Console to control the crawl and index of a webpage I made, after some missteps with DNS, nav menu, and even permalink indexing that created multiple hits for the word. The Reach webpage includes a short text about the enduring value of emptiness as well as some strong language requesting that no one else use this word anywhere else online.
The project is really an experiment in the viability of singularity on the internet, but also an attempt to render a digital impression physically. When the billboard goes up, I'll plug in a lamp in my home that will turn on each time the webpage is visited (through a series of interconnecting scripts, a circuit board, and an internet-enabled outlet).
We're all pretty familiar with the idea of sharing a lone experience—think a solo hike in the middle of the wilderness—with scores of non-present entities online. But what we're less familiar with is the case where hundreds of thousands of people experience the same thing in real life, but create no shared digital footprint. I'm interested in the fragility of that proposition, and in measuring the project's progress through a domestic indicator.
Has the Internet Changed Art Criticism? On Service Criticism and A Possible Future
Mel Bochner, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH (2008)
A version of this essay was initially written for a panel discussion with Pitchfork's Ryan Schreiber, Isaac Fitzgerald from Buzzfeed Books, and LA Times art critic Christopher Knight at Superscript: Arts Journalism & Criticism in a Digital Age, a conference at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Watch the panel discussion here.
Look at the title. I'm asking has, not "how." Contemporary art is still in the early stages of the digital shift that other industries have already experienced. To better understand what might be happening to art criticism, we should look to other fields and assess the structures that have developed as a response to the internet's effect.
There are two facets to this "internet effect": the first is in publishing and circulation, the second in the way this dissemination shapes a discipline and the discourse around it. Music and literature experienced the digital shift in a much more extreme way than contemporary art has thus far. This experience began with circulation—the adjustment from object to mp3 and from independent, or even megachain bookstores to Amazon—but continued with an altered discourse that poses really valid questions about the function of criticism. I'll call it "service criticism." In a nutshell, "service criticism" is criticism that's discovery-oriented. Criticism that assumes the reader who is looking for recommendations.
Take Pitchfork, for example. I remember the first time I heard of Pitchfork. I was a teenager and I had a friend who spent his days reading Pitchfork reviews, then (excuse the illegality of the following) downloaded all the albums he thought he'd find interesting in order to listen to them. (The embrace of streaming technologies helps with the legality question today.) That's a great use of criticism: as a direction, pointing to the good in the midst of overproduction.
Global Audiences, Zero Visitors: How to measure the success of museums' online publishing
This text (original title: "The Outskirts of the Internet") was originally commissioned for the book Turning Inward, with contributions by John Beeson, Svetlana Boym, Marta Dziewańska, Philipp Ekardt, Felix Ensslin, David Joselit, William Kherbek, John Miller, Reza Negarestani, Matteo Pasquinelli, and Dieter Roelstraete.

Jim Campbell, Library. GIF excerpt from documentation video.
Fifty percent of arts organizations in the United States maintain a blog.[1] The Metropolitan Museum of Art calculated that while the museum draws six million visitors in a year, its website attracts 29 million users and its Facebook page reaches 92 million.[2] Of these millions of people interacting with the museum online, only a small percentage would ever walk up the New York museum's famous steps. If the internet has changed the definition of what a museum's audience is, then it also poses the difficult question of how to interact with it. This adds a new dimension to the museum's relationship with its traditional audience: How to extend the relationship with visitors beyond the museum's walls? This twofold task—both to generate a public and sustain existing relationships—has created a new landscape of digital engagement where museums look to their websites, dedicated apps, and online magazines as tools to involve this new online public.
As museums are rethinking their relationship to their audience online, an increasing number chooses to publish online magazines, and many of these publications emerge from institutions that are not necessarily the major museums in art world hubs. The attitudes toward these publishing initiatives vary—some choose to outline the scope of their publishing platforms in the shape of their programming, while others produce magazines that are thematically related to subjects the museum covers but are not directly linked to the art on view. What they all share is a feeling that online publishing expands the museum's audience, making it a potentially global one. The idea that a museum's public is to be found beyond visitorship is full of potential, but publishing online does not automatically overcome geography and create new relationships with international audiences. On the contrary, these institutions are working to generate content in an environment that is arguably already saturated. Digital presence does not automatically make for global reach, and much of the writing produced online by museums is bound to disappear in the vast amount of content on the internet. YouTube famously has more videos on it than anyone could ever watch—in fact, with 100 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute, it would take over a thousand years to view the total running time of videos posted on the platform—this, in less than ten years of existence.[3] Alexa—the Amazon-owned service that gives public estimates of website metrics—makes online publishing seem almost futile. According to Alexa's data, the most visited website in the world is, of course, Google, and an average user spends nineteen minutes and nine seconds a day on it. Facebook averages 27:34 minutes and the New York Times 3:57. Visitors spend almost twenty minutes a day on YouTube and less than three on the New Yorker's site. When so much content is offered, and so little of it seems to attract readers, the goal of museums joining the online publishing game should not be to reach the largest audience, but rather, to create platforms that expand research and the production of knowledge that builds on the museum's mission statement and expands it, regardless of how many hits it generates—a difficult leap to make, especially in terms of the way museums represent their activity and receive funding.

We definitely don't want our children to be murdered in school shootings, as the post-Newtown furor has demonstrated. That is a sentiment with which I heartily concur. I also don't want my children to be struck by lightning, which is considerably more likely than being shot in school, or to be killed in a bicycle accident, which is around ten times as likely as being murdered in school. But while we are expressing concern for such remote contingencies, how about if we deal with an absolute certainty–that every American child is being saddled with a crushing burden of debt?
Currently there are around 74 million children under the age of 18 in the U.S. If you divide our $16.4 trillion debt by 74 million, you get $222,000 apiece. If you assume that two of those kids get married, they owe $444,000 together. And if you assume that your kid is going to be one of the 50% who pay any discernible amount of income taxes, the tab comes to close to $1 million. That is truly a crushing burden, and it isn't a one in million risk, it is a certainty. Michael Ramirez makes the point:
Barry, of course, doesn't have to worry. His daughters attend Sidwell Friends, which bristles with armed guards, above and beyond the girls' Secret Service detail. Nor do his children have to fret about their share of the national debt. Like Bill Clinton, Obama will retire a very, very rich man. So it isn't Barry's children we are talking about, it is only yours. And who cares about them? Not Barack Obama and the Democrats, obviously.

My pet peeve is misspelled words. Misspell (mispell) is one of the most commonly misspelled words! Really?! I actually critiqued a Valentine card from my husband before we were married. He's pretty suave, but he can't spell!
Grateful is another commonly misspelled word. OK, I've done it! I spelled it GREATful for a long time until spell check corrected me. *GASP* Maybe I need to keep my pet peeves to myself!
I will be the first to say I am not perfect. I still have to reference a dictionary or English grammar source on occasion. It takes me forever to write a blog post! Sigh…the OCD struggle is real.
Today starts a new challenge at Cupcake Inspirations and it is a theme/color challenge!
I thought a fall scene would be a great background for my card today. I was inspired by this video on Ranger Ink's Instagram account.
Here's my take on the challenge!
Make something using our fall theme and link up for a chance to be picked as one of our sweet six! I'll look for you in our gallery!
Thankful and GRATEful! (*rolling my eyes* that just looks wrong!)

3rd Time's a Charm (almost) – Coconut Milk & Key Lime Panna Cotta
Update: Recipe should have included 1/4 cup of sugar…correction made below!
Apparently, I am a glutton for punishment…I tried again.
But wait, you say, that doesn't look like a vanilla bean buttermilk panna cotta…why didn't you attempt the same recipe? Well, because I am difficult. I figured something had to go my way if I made a completely different recipe that included no dairy whatsoever, right? Hmmm…the answer is not as clear as one might think – yes and no.
Success…YES! (as it did not separate). And FAIL…it didn't actually totally set…but I have only myself to blame for this one.
In "collaborating" (read: angrily discussing) with my brother who seems to end up with nothing but perfection when he makes panna cotta (all varieties, I might add) at his restaurant…he may have mentioned that the amount of gelatin can be tricky when using coconut milk. What seemed to be like an extreme amount of gelatin…was apparently necessary. I did not believe the recipe and (of course) thought I knew better…so this one is completely.my.fault! There's always room for a 4th or 5th or 27th attempt, right?
Nonetheless, it tasted spot on!
Recipe can be found here (see below)…and I recommend following the recipe to the letter…and I'm sure that your panna cotta will work out absolutely perfectly! (mostly due to the fact that I am nowhere near your kitchen and therefore my luck (or lack thereof) will have absolutely no influence on your end-result!) I repeat…follow the directions!
I searched and searched to find the recipe I used…and to no avail…so unfortunately…you won't have the opportunity to make the exact recipe that I managed to flub up…so find your own. Go, make panna cotta and succeed!
From my memory and photos….here is the recipe!
Key Lime Coconut Milk Panna Cotta
1 can (15 oz.) of Coconut milk
I packet of gelatin
2 tbsp.'s of fresh key lime juice
1 tsp. of key lime zest
1/4 cup of sugar
Pour lime juice into the sauce pan and sprinkle in the gelatin. (my recipe indicated an entire packet of gelatin should be used…but I (incorrectly) assumed that I would end of milk bricks if I added it all since I was using half the milk previous recipes had called for with the same amount of gelatin. Once it is bloomed, add in the zest and stir around a bit to make sure it is completely dissolved.
Next add in the coconut milk and sugar; heat gently until you see bubbles forming and there is steam rising. Make sure you continue to stir during the heating so the gelatin, lime juice and zest remain suspended in the mixture.
Remove from heat and pour into small dishes or ramekins, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set. I pulled one out later that evening to try it. Once again, we had guests and I was trying to avoid another big let-down of serving what appears to be a delicious panna cotta hiding a secret gelatin layer…or ending up a soupy disaster.
That evening, the panna cotta had not set and I convinced myself that it obviously needed some more time in the chiller. I unmolded it in a shallow bowl and we all nibbled spoonfuls. Flavor…perfect – refreshing, lime-y and not overly coconut-y. Texture…too soft…a little like thin yogurt.
The next morning when I pulled one out and plated it, it was certainly more set than the previous evening…but not that heavenly texture that panna cotta should be!
I will not give up. I will not give up. I will not give up.
Stay tuned for attempt #4. I believe everyone has a cooking nemesis…like Kryptonite for Superman…perhaps panna cotta is my kryptonite!
What is your culinary nemesis?

Post subject: cooking method
I brine overnight with 1 gal of vegetable stock, water, salt, peppercorns, and allspice. I cook a 25 lb bird each year.
Once in the roasting pan (breast side up) I drape with cheesecloth soaked in a mixture of 1 stick of butter and 1 bottle of white wine (heated together). I keep the cloth moist during roasting with the butter/wine mixture. Then remove the cloth for the last 30 min of roasting to brown the skin.

Post subject: Mmmmmmm.....Turkey!!
I have never brined my turkey. A little thyme, salt and pepper, and perhaps a dash of allspice. Flip at the start, and a silly foil tent near the end and yum-yum. For stuffing, I get the seasoned bag stuff, add some melted butter and juices from big bird, and some chopped onion and celery, and perhaps a squirt of gravy. Bake. Yum-yum. Throw in some buttery smashed potatoes, smothered in sweet corn and gravy. Some buttered hot cross buns. And a lucious green bean casserole. Cranberry sauce. And for dessert, we have pumpkin pie drowned with cool whip. As I stuff myself, I fully expect my Packers to be merrily thrashing those poor, poor Lions. Who could ask for anything more?

Post subject: Roasting my turkey
What a great read! I'm a novice at turkey roasting, & it's intimidating
, but after reading the recipe & all the comments & variations, I feel a real sense of freedom & hopefulness! I laughed out loud
at all the confusion (I could relate) & various strong opposing opinions. I learned SO MUCH! Thank you ALL for the entertaining enlightenment on all my options! I'm not an engineer, but am very analytical
, & this is my kind of thing--thank you Michael! I'll let you know how my bird turns out after I decide how to prep & roast it

Post subject: preparing a VERY small turkey
At the ripe age of 34 I had my first 'Thanksgiving boss' opportunity. I asked my Belgian wife to get the smallest turkey she could find for our two Russian friends who were coming over. We cooked an 8 lb turkey using standard methods. After it's appointed cooking time, I took it out to find it had basically fallen apart into a pile of bones and very tender meat. I took the bag out of the trash and it was, in fact, a very large chicken. With two Russians and a Belgian as my guests, I just didn't tell them this was out of the ordinary. And it was a great chicken!

Post subject: Roasting turkey - oven to tabletop roaster?
I would like to use my large Rival roaster to make my 23 pound turkey, but I've heard and read that it will not brown. Can I cook it part way in the oven until it is browned then transfer to the already heated roaster? Any comments?

I'm not familiar with this roaster - but my guess is that you can brown it in the oven and transfer to finish if you think the roaster won't brown the turkey. This must be a pretty big roaster...

My experience with a roaster is they do a lot of steaming and not much browning. They are great for making "pulled" meat. I'd cook the turkey most of the way in the roaster, then brown it in the oven to finish.

Post subject: TG bird. convection or other confusion
I loved the read here! I am more confused as to how I wish to proceed than I ever was. I Have decided to go ahead and use my convection oven to cook tomorrow. It has worked excellently on many other foods including frozen pies and lasagna etc (no preheat in same time as label)
As to the Bird itself.. I am going to leave the legs untrussed and the wings tucked under. I have made a vegetable stock already and added the nechk and gizzard but I know that there is only one true way to make stuffing. It can NOt be called stuffing if it isn't stuffed! THere is too much flavor involved inside the bird. Yes I will use my instant thermometer.
I think that I am going to the store on Friday and buy a few turkeys (usually very cheap after TG). I will then debone them and sew them for cooking, leaving room for the stuffing and then vacuum pack them. The bones will be used for stock to make the stuffing with (turkey fat and all), and reduced to the minimum required stock. and then stored in the freezer as well in canning jars (yes they can be frozen, just don't overfill.
I am actually excited about trying a stuffed boned turkey myself. It sounds too easy and too good.
After that..I think I will return here and check out more ideas and recipes

Post subject: 45 pound turkey
There were several references to cooking very large turkeys. I have raised a few broad breasted bronze turkeys that got this large. As I was killing on Wednesday and cooking on Thursday, the turkey never even got chilled thoroughly.
The cooking times were actually severely reduced because of the fact that they were not chilled through (the same as a 25 pound bird!). I would suggest that anyone who has a very large bird make sure to bring thier bird evenly to a non-refrigerated status, probably at 40-45 degrees or even warmer . The issue with a large bird is that the internal temperatures might be much different from the surface temperatures and cause uneven cooking and dryness (especially at the breast). Maybe leaving the bird in a portable cooler to let its temperature slowly and evenly rise would work?
One of my huge toms was stuffed (which I do NOT reccommend as lifting that amount of weight from a HOT oven is NOT easily accomplished and dangerous), and was extremely delicious but a little dry at the outer breast
I have also considered splitting a huge bird like this down each side, removing hte back and leaving just the legs, wings and breast. The bird could then rest easily on the stuffing and cook more evenly in a roasting pan. Doing this would allow the use of the back for stock to make the stuffing.

Post subject: Old SF Chronicle Article Turkey Cooking experiments
I thought I'd link this article which is interesting and sort of confirms the method in this recipe. I was wondering if 400deg vs 325deg would be better. From the article, it was pretty clear to them that 400deg gave the best results.

Post subject: done it all, I think
Every year it seems we wait until the last minute and go looking for a new and exciting method to roast our annual bird. I, too, have tried Alton Brown's recipe for brined bird and also tried brining with the pre-made mix from Williams Sonoma. We were not able to discern any significant difference in taste or texture from either. We tried Turducken (a $100 mistake we were afraid to feed to the dogs as we thought it might increase the cost when adding in the vet bill), high roasting method (set off every smoke alarm in the house and scared the hell out of the guests when it appeared the house would burst into flames at any minute - very tasty though), stuffed and unstuffed, slow roasted overnight etc. I WAS going to try a countertop roaster until reading all the postings here so today we will use Alton's roasting method, unstuffed and unbrined (not sure this is a word). Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and good luck. Remember - there's enough food without the turkey.

Post subject: brining timing
does anyone know if brining a 6 1/2 lb turkey breast for maybe 3 hours vs. the suggested 4-8 hours will make a huge difference, or completely defeat the point of brining in the first place? Im already an hour off of my cooking schedule and dont want to wait if i dont have to! thanks have a great thanksgiving!!!

Post subject: Yet another success with Tony's Injector and convection oven
I repeated last year's fresh Diestel bird in a 300F convection oven, set to convection roast, and Tony Chachere's Jalapeno Butter Marinade.
I injected the marinade 12 hours before cooking. I then covered the bird with Tony's seasoning and sprayed it with olive oil. I put the turkey on a a V-Rack on a shallow pan, breast side up and baked it until the temp was 160F at the coolest part, then let it sit for an hour while finishing sides. It was as good as last year, with crispy skin and pefectly cooked light and dark meat. It took 3 hours and 45 minutes to do a 24 Lb turkey. I used no foil or basting. Easier than pie.
Once more, it got rave reviews.

Crop diseases
Plant diseases are a significant yield and quality constraint for growers of broadacre crops in Western Australia.
Plant pathogens can be fungal, bacterial, viral or nematodes and can damage plant parts above or below the ground. Identifying symptoms and knowing when and how to effectively control diseases is an ongoing challenge for WA growers of cereals (wheat, barley, oats and triticale), pulses (field pea, chickpea, faba bean), canola and lupin crops.
The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development has a strong research, development and extension focus to assist industry to reduce the impact of crop diseases on all broadacre crops.
Results of extensive field/lab/glass house research and surveys across the WA grainbelt every year contribute to disease management packages and forecasting tools, and identify new incursions of crop pathogens or strains into WA.
The department also gathers and extends industry disease reports (PestFax), provides a disease diagnosis service and a broad range of management information for specific foliar and root diseases and viruses.

17-year-old Helena Muffly wrote exactly 100 years ago today:
Monday, January 27, 1913: We went to town this evening to practice for our play.
Her middle-aged granddaughter's comments 100 years later:
Grandma wrote the previous Monday that she was going to be in a her class play. This was the first play practice.
In my imagination I see a member of the cast saying, "If we practice hard, I bet our play will be as good as a Broadway play."
Here's what the November, 1913 issue of Dress and Vanity Fair magazine had to say about several Broadway plays that were playing in New York a hundred years ago:
In a Lighter Vein on Broadway
In this picture from The Marriage Market the small but sweet voice of Mr. Donald Brian is being lifted up in a duet with Miss Venita Fitzhugh. Until this moment when he has just taken her hand she had not recognized him once since the first act. She met him as a cowboy then and married him in a fit of pique. Since that time he has been disguised as a common sailor on her father's yacht, but she did not recognize his face at all, and now that he looks so stunning in evening clothes and a clean shirt she cannot believe that it is really he.
Mr. Richard Harding Davis's' comic mystery play Who's Who finds Mr. William Collier and his adopted son William Collier, Jr. The youngster has a savings bank in his hand with which he is constantly blackmailing the villagers in his bland and child-like way. Mr. Collier who has been held up by the child is expostulating vigorously, paternally, almost expletively.

The Institute of Solar Research, headquartered in Cologne, was established by the German Aerospace Centre in 2011 to consolidate the various solar research activities of the Stuttgart-based Institute of Technical Thermodynamics in a single institution.
It is headed by two directors Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Robert Pitz-Paal and Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bernhard Hoffschmidt.
The Institute's 140 workplaces are spread across the DLR Headquarters in Cologne, DLR facilities in Stuttgart and Jülich as well as Europe's largest test facility for concentrating solar technology run by DLR's Spanish research partners CIEMAT, the Plataforma Solar de Almería.
Research and development in the field of concentrating solar systems are the core topics of the institute. State-of-the-art laboratories as well as industrial-scale testing facilities are available, providing scientists with an excellent, productive working environment.
Its research activities focus on technical feasibility issues, and on increasing the overall efficiency and lowering the cost of concentrating solar systems.
The Institute of Solar Research seeks to build bridges between basic research, large-scale projects and industrial applications. The more academic side of its work is mainly funded with grants from the programme-oriented funding scheme of the Helmholtz Association. On the application-oriented side, scientists and industry jointly develop solutions in a range of collaborative research projects.The Institute's clients include public authorities, national and international scientific institutions as well as partners from German and international industry.
As a pioneering German research institution working on concentrated solar power (CSP) technology, the Institute figures as the prime mover of the development and qualification of solar power and allied technologies, both in Europe and on a global scale.

|Lily of the Valley, Convallaria majalis
Here in my USDA Hardiness Zone 6b garden in central Indiana, I am delighted with each bloom, each leaf, each sprout that returns after one of the coldest winters on record. I do believe our snow cover saved many a plant.
There is a general sense, too, that those plants that survived the winter are greener, have more blooms and seem stronger for the experience.
The blooms are still just a tiny bit behind past years, but considering what they went through, I am happy to wait for each and every bloom.
I noticed walking through the garden that I like flowers with bell-shapes. I cannot imagine ringing in spring without Lily of the Valley, Convallaria majalis. It's an old favorite, going all the way back to when I was a kid and picked them in my grandma's garden.
Other "bells" almost blooming include variegated Solomon's Seal, Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum 'Variegatum'.
|Solomon's Seal, Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum 'Variegatum'
|Lamprocapnos spectabilis
|Aquilegia sp.
Elsewhere in the garden, the first of the clematis is blooming.
|Clematis with gillyflowers
One would think from the pictures so far that my garden is awash with whites, pinks and purples and it is. I do have some blues mixed in, including Spanish bluebells, Hyacinthoides hispanica.
|Spanish bluebells, Hyacinthoides hispanica
What else is blooming in my garden? How about lilacs and Amsonia, Carolina allspice and Deutzia, Alliums and strawberries, plus my big old-fashioned snowball bush, Viburnum opulus 'Sterile'.
|Viburnum opulus 'Sterile'
How about your garden? I'm sure you have all kinds of blooms in the month of May. We'd love to have you share them with us! It's easy to join in for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day. Just post on your own blog about what's blooming in your garden right now, outdoors or indoors. You can include pictures, lists, common names, botanical names, whatever you'd like to do to showcase your blooms.
Then leave a comment and put your name and a link back to your bloom day post in the Mr. Linky widget below. (This month, I'm using a different version which should prompt you to upload a thumbnail image from your blog post. Use that to showcase your best bloom and further entice us to come and virtually visit your garden.)
Happy Bloom Day!

Review: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is Elton John's "commercial and creative apex." ZS It "plays like a greatest hits album, overflowing with classic songs" RV which "remain standards more than 30 years later thanks to Bernie Taupin's sharpest lyrics, John's propulsive keyboard skills and vocals that leap into falsetto without losing any of their power." TL This "flamboyant tour de force" ZS is "a recap of all the styles and sounds that made John a star" AMG although this was also where his "personality began to gather more attention than his music." AMG He "achieved superstardom with this effort and never matched its mastery again." RV
The was recorded in a mere 12 days in Europe after a failed effort to record in Jamaica. CRS It "demonstrates the ease with which John and Taupin could write not only the hit singles, but the outstanding album tracks." ZS While it has been called "Elton's White Album" ZS and a "stunning song cycle with no filler" ZS this double album also can be said to suffer from being "overstuffed." TL Nonetheless, it "holds claim to a lot of brilliant, very pop-savvy music" AZ and is "considered the high watermark of Elton's reign of popularity." CRS "Its individual moments are spectacular and the glitzy, crowd-pleasing showmanship…pretty much defines what made Elton John a superstar in the early '70s." AMG
The opening kick-off of Funeral for a Friend and Love Lies Bleeding has been called both a "prog rock epic" AMG and a "Wagnerian-operalike combo." RS500 The album quickly announces that it will be "all over the map" AMG by immediately careening into the balladry of Candle in the Wind," AMG which pays tribute to Marilyn Monroe and, more than 20 years later, was revamped as a memorial to Princess Diana.
Candle in the Wind
There's also "the ready-made nostalgia of The Ballad of Danny Bailey" AZ which features "Bernie Taupin's literary pretensions," AMG, "the downbeat melodicism of Harmony," AZ "novelties [like] Jamiaica Jerk-Off…and everything in between." AMG
Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting
Elton shows off his rock side with "the fairground jive of Your Sister Can't Twist" TB and "the strutting rock and roll" RS500 of "the Stonesy rocker Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting." TB Meanwhile Bennie and the Jets "was a nod in the direction of Bowie's Ziggy." TB
Bennie and the Jets
Songs like "This Song Has No Title and Grey Seal had gospel-tinged melodies and progressions" TB and "the title track harnesses the fantastic imagery of glam to a Gershwin-sweet melody." RS500

Inspired by London's New Romantics and the legendary Benneton campaigns of the 1980s, Libertines sees hair coloured using bright monochromic hues (a fresh take on the vivid craze) and styled in Beauty Underground's signature look of multiple textures and editorial styling.

By the beginning of March, the World Health Organisation declared Covid-19 a pandemic and by the end of the month, the whole world had closed down. For global companies such as TONI&GUY, the shutdown of the world's economies brought challenges never seen before. "TONI&GUY is 57 years old and we have survived and thrived through recessions, but this was completely different. It has brought challenges we have never experienced and forced us to look at the business in a way that was unprecedented," explains global creative director, Sacha Mascolo-Tarbuck.
CEO Nigel Darwin joined the company at the start of 2019 and says initially it wasn't clear how big Coronavirus was going to be. "We've had instances in Asia with Sars and Mers before, but once things began to grow in Italy, it became clear this wasn't like anything we had seen before.
"Normal ways of working were no longer appropriate; we had to change our leadership and communication. Our focus is usually planning three or five years ahead; this changed to focusing on the tomorrow. Our number one concern was our communication with our teams, their mental and emotional health."
Sacha, who worked closely with father and founder Toni Mascolo from the age of 17, used her knowledge to analyse the business and bring the community together. "While it was a scary time, it was also exciting," she says. "We immediately set up groups and zoom calls with our partners and teams, sharing experiences and learning from each other. "
As we came out of lockdown and into reopening, Nigel explains how they had to manage expectations. "We knew nothing would be black and white so we had to make some assumptions for us to begin planning to reopen. We want TONI&GUY and the industry to come out of this stronger than ever."
Cos Sakkas, international artistic director and nominee for British Hairdresser of the Year, UK
"We were quite late to lockdown in the UK but we knew it was coming. We had seen the effects of Coronavirus on our salons in Asia and Europe and knew we were next. However, it didn't make it any easier. We suddenly went from being fully booked in the academy to being empty and clients not travelling to salons. And no one expected us to be isolating for quite so long! For us, the most important thing was to make sure all our teams were OK – there was a lot of uncertainty and fear and we spent the first few days making sure furlough was in place and people felt safe. "
Bill Watson, educational director for TONI&GUY Asia
"We have had virus warnings from China in the past, but we soon realised this was different. While face masks are the norm here, our main priority was to protect our teams and get the correct PPE.
Bronwyn Illingworth, director TONI&GUY New Zealand
We had 72 hours' notice before lockdown but our prime minister, We had some support from the Government so apart from negotiating rents and loss of earnings, it wasn't too challenging. We did some marketing on tips and hair hacks and kept everything upbeat and positive. We did this as a team and came up with
Jose Boix, head of TONI&GUY Spain
"Lockdown was announced on 13 March and initially the Spanish Government wanted salons to stay open because we were considered key to society. However, it wasn't long before we realised we were going through a big health scare and clients were staying home, so it didn't make sense to open. The lockdown has been very difficult for some people – many people were depressed and the uncertainty of jobs, families and the economy effected a lot of people"
Charity Cheah, co-founder TONI&GUY Italy
From the outset, we made sure we connected with our team and our clients – we constantly communicated in a positive and empathetic way and helped them navigate the ever-changing scenarios. We offered daily tips on how to care for their hair at home through virtual consultations, video tutorials, weekly Instagram Lives and focused on how to stay positive and centered. For our team we offered daily digital training and regular business zoom meetings and we were constantly connected with the global team. We were in lockdown for two and half months so we used this time constructively to strengthen their training needs with cutting and styling sessions, consultation skills and updating their education and soft skill needs so they felt that they would come back stronger than ever. The biggest challenge for us was bridging the physical distance between clients and hairdressers and we made it a priority to keep these relationships alive. We kept everyone connected and well-supported through various social media platforms.

Breaking News: Barack Obama rejects VP idea
Campaigning in Casper, Wyo., Friday night for the 12 delegates to come out of Saturday's Democratic county caucuses, Sen. Barack Obama refused the notion of becoming the vice presidential candidate on this fall's party ticket.
Obama was asked by a television reporter, "Can you ever see yourself on the same ticket as Sen. Clinton?"
And the freshman Illinois senator replied: "Well, you know, I think it's premature. You won't see me as a vice presidential candidate. You know, I'm running for president. We have won twice as many states as Senator Clinton, and have a higher popular vote, and I think we can maintain our delegate count."
Many Democrats have long thought of Obama-Clinton or Clinton-Obama as a dream ticket, offering both the first serious female candidate and the first serious African American candidate for the nation's top two political offices.
Clinton surprisingly broached the idea Wednesday morning after she won the popular vote in Texas and Ohio to regain some momentum after 11 straight ...
losses, though she still lags far behind in pledged delegates. She mentioned the possibility of a joint ticket again Friday morning during a campaign appearance in Mississippi.
Last night was the first time Obama commented on the idea.
It's political protocol when presidential candidates are asked about the vice presidency to twist the question back around to the top office and avoid a direct answer. But Obama's response last night was unusually direct and dismissive.
The 46-year-old candidate is expected to do well in Wyoming today, as he has done in virtually every caucus state. Wyoming, as The Ticket noted here in detail Friday, is not the most hospitable territory for Democrats.
Eleven months ago during an appearance on "The David Letterman Show," Obama said, "You don't run for second place. I don't believe in that." See his Friday statement for yourself on Billings TV station KTVQ, but only if you can sit through an interminable local vinyl fence ad with Danny, who seems strangely eager to hide his face beneath a dirty baseball cap.
(UPDATE: For the latest Wyoming caucus results -- Obama was victorious -- The Times' Robin Abcarian has full details in her story from Cheyenne here.)

Baltimore Ravens Scored in Breast Cancer Fight
I'm sure that Baltimore Ravens fans noticed the pink cleats, gloves, wristbands, sideline caps and other equipment the team sported during October. I want to let the community know that the Ravens were much more than "pretty in pink" during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The National Football League's initiative, "A Crucial Catch: Annual Screening Saves Lives," reminds women ages 40 and older about the importance of annual mammograms. Through this initiative, the NFL provides funding to the American Cancer Society to help uninsured and underserved women access breast cancer screening and detect breast cancer early.
The pink gear worn by the Ravens has been auctioned to raise funds that are used to provide free clinical breast exams and mammograms for women in need. Thanks to the NFL, the Ravens and all other NFL clubs, more than $3 million has been raised nationally through the sale of pink retail items and the NFL pink auction. Best of all, this means that countless women's lives will be saved. All proceeds from the NFL pink items sold at their auction website go to support the American Cancer Society.
In our area, Harford County, which has one of the highest cancer incidence and death rates in Maryland, received $50,000 to support the fight against breast cancer.
The American Cancer Society wants to thank the NFL and the Ravens for their outstanding program. With their support, we were able to hand out boxes of birthday candles with mammogram reminders printed on them to October game attendees at M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens are as professional to work with in fighting cancer as their amazing performances on the field each week during football season.
The NFL estimates that more than 151 million viewers nationally were exposed to "A Crucial Catch" campaign during October. We know this educates the public about breast cancer and helps us to save more lives from the disease. And, it gets us closer to our ultimate goal — a world with more birthdays.
David Simpkins, White Marsh
The writer is vice president for market strategy and health equity at the American Cancer Society's South Atlantic Division.
