Utah Jazz move forward, but still search for identity
By Brian T. Smith
The Salt Lake TribuneFirst published May 09 2012 06:56PM
The Jazz met coach Tyrone Corbin's expectations during the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season, but didn't exceed them.
General Manager Kevin O'Connor was pleased with Utah's overall performance, but walked away from a first-round playoff defeat to San Antonio knowing his team had been pushed around and outmanned.
Jazz guard Gordon Hayward saw light, but couldn't shake the feeling he had let his team and himself down when Utah needed him most.
"I won't feel good until [the playoffs] are over," said Hayward, who took a strong stride forward in his second season, but shot just 18.2 percent from the floor and 8.3 percent behind the 3-point line in his first postseason. "It's always difficult after a loss, especially after the last game not even scoring. To drop a goose egg — that's tough."
Such is the state in Jazzland, heading into what could become a pivotal offseason for a small-market team loaded with promise but filled with uncertainty.
End result
San Antonio's merciless 4-0 sweep highlighted the questions everyone from Corbin and O'Connor to Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap and Hayward face as Utah attempts to turn the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference playoffs into something more fulfilling.
The Jazz's young core of Derrick Favors, Alec Burks, Enes Kanter and Hayward is more exciting than ever. Corbin found his touch after the All-Star break, saving Utah from a second consecutive second-half fallout and turning an uneven 15-18 record on Feb. 28 into a promising 36-30. The Jazz's Big Two of Jefferson and Millsap formed one of the premier interior combinations in the NBA, with both putting up All-Star caliber numbers and each playing the best overall basketball of their careers.
But after 66 up-and-down regular-season games and an instantly forgettable playoff performance, none of the major issues surrounding Utah when the 2011 NBA lockout ended has a clear answer five months later.
The Jazz don't have a point guard for the future, while Hayward has yet to be cemented at either shooting guard or small forward. Millsap and Jefferson are bigger than ever, but there's no guarantee either will wear a Utah uniform after the 2012-13 season ends. The Jazz's defense is still filled with painful holes, while the team's inside-out offense became so predictable during the playoffs, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich filled the paint and dared Utah to shoot from outside. It couldn't, firing blanks to the numbers of 38.2 percent from the field and an embarrassing 20 percent beyond the arc, which produced an average of 86.3 points — 13.4 off the Jazz's regular-season mark.
"We like what we have. But you can always add and enhance and build on where you are," Corbin said. "As you get better, you can do some different things. As we get more used to each other, there's always options off what we have. So the [offensive] sets are fine. We just have to add and be able to change some things."
New path
Then there's the biggest issue of all: Utah still doesn't have an identity.
It was Corbin's main goal during training camp and he hammered away at the idea throughout the season, forgoing a team captain in the hope all of his players would buy into the same vision. The Jazz mostly did, and a resilient team fought through injuries and low expectations to produce one of the strongest locker rooms the Jazz have had since Deron Williams was drafted.
But by the time the NBA's first season was eclipsed, 14 teams were eliminated and the real season — the playoffs — began, Utah was exposed. The Jazz didn't have the mental confidence or physical backbone required for a two-week fight, and Jefferson's pre-Game 4 statement that Utah had no chance to beat San Antonio captured the weaknesses of a team whose physicality, drive and composure collapsed.
"We're creating [an identity]. It's still a process. We're better and we're closer [now] than we were at the beginning of the year," Corbin said. "We had some great lessons this year and this playoff has taught us a few more things about how much more work we have to put in to be the team we're looking to be."
O'Connor outsmarted the lockout, stacking the Jazz's roster three-deep at most positions and bringing in proven veterans Jamaal Tinsley and Josh Howard to help Utah navigate an unforgiving season.
The Miller family continued to prove it will spend money at the right time, allowing O'Connor to add DeMarre Carroll down the stretch.
Corbin took a roster many saw as one-dimensional and wisely played to its strengths, all while gradually working in young players such as Favors, Burks and Kanter as the season evolved.
Closing in?
But are the Jazz any closer to the top of the Western Conference — a peak they haven't reached in 14 years?
Can Utah compete with ever-improving Oklahoma City in the Northwest Division without making major moves that could set the in-between Jazz backward next season?
Right now, O'Connor says, Utah must improve from within and only minor moves will be made in free agency this summer. Which means the lockout season was just one step in the Jazz's post-Williams evolution. And the organization's biggest challenges are still to come.
"We have to add to. I don't think we have to blow it up and start over again," O'Connor said. "I don't think we're in a position of looking at it and saying, 'We've got to trade some people.' I think we're saying, 'We have to add to our core and go from there.' "
And find a lasting identity.

- RT396VIPDined on 9/26/2014Wonderful food typically found with damask white tablecloths without the stress of white tablecloths. Will be back and sending our good friends here in the meantime.Special Features:
- Each Bite is Incrediably Tastey!!rarelydineoutDined on 9/25/2014An clever menu with interesting food combinations in each dish and each ingredient fresh and full of flavor. Three of us shared 5 dishes and each bite was a remarkable treat and taste sensation - and I do mean each bite. I can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Among the Best of SFSuzranzDined on 9/24/2014This is my second visit and the food is fresh, creative and with some standards such as the bacon and onion tart - yummy! . We split orders and each course was presented on two separate plates rather than our having to do it ourselves which is always a mess. Such lovely, considerate service. This is the only restaurant of the owner and he's very much present. It really makes a difference. As a New Yorker who visits SF a few times a year - this is definitely on my short list.Special Features:
- Great food, vibrant, service slowMichaelFortLauderdaleVIPDined on 9/23/2014Wonderful, we sat at the bar for dinner and the kitchen staff was so friendly. The food was amazing. Because we sat the bar, the wait service was a bit slow. But the food made up for them.Special Features:
- Alex77VIPDined on 9/19/2014Food is quite good even by SF foodie standards. Place is fun in a rustic, hipster kind of way. Lighting at night is beautiful. Waitstaff were really friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ambiance, food and serviceEricVIPDined on 9/18/2014It was my second time here and this time, with a small group. The restaurant is small and intimate and the lighting low to give a nice ambiance. The server checked in just the right amount to make sure we had all we needed and never had to look up and wonder where he was. The food was great and suggestions helpful. I would most definitely go back.Special Features:
- Lovely experience every time1lucky13VIPDined on 9/15/2014I visit Heirloom Cafe less than I would like, but always feel welcome and always have a great meal.

- Outstanding Food Wine and ValueFormerChicagoResidentVIPDined on 8/30/2014While not in walking distance of main tourist areas just a short ride from Union Square is this Mission neighborhood gem. We expected an amazing wine selection from this award winning wine expert owner but were surprised to discover that the food favors and presentation were of equal outstanding quality. We had the price fixed three course menu which included three excellent white, red, and desert wine pairings. The price with wine was less than comparable menus at other SF fine dining locations that did not include wine. The room is big and rustic and we enjoyed sight lines into the totally open kitchen. We can not wait to return and try some of the interesting a la carte items.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Would recommendWelltravelleddinerDined on 8/21/2014Starter and main very nice, dessert was good but not quite up to the level of the first two courses. Bill was reasonable, atmosphere good, some wines looked a bit pricey for quality level but I would go back as would my fellow diner who is quite a foodie.
- Get the burgerjeannersDined on 8/20/2014Heirloom's burger is the best burger I've ever had. Everyone in SF should be talking about it, and people should be coming from miles away to try it. Amazing!Special Features:

- great farm to table menualexVIPDined on 8/9/2014Very fresh ingredients and inspiring menu. Everything was so good. This is a small restaurant but great for groups as they have a community tables. However we were a party of 3 and had to share it with another group. Not private enough for a romantic dinner or special occasion but great with friends! I'm looking forward to their fall menu!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- excellent foodart53Dined on 8/9/2014Most of the dishes we tried were outstanding (especially the tomato/fennel/feta salad and the spigarello). Service was very good. Charming little neighborhood spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UniquejoefireDined on 8/5/2014Food is unique in its quality and simplicity, wine is unique in the manner it complements the food and drives the menu, service is unique in its sensitivity to the customer and its lack of pretence - loved it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A wonderful secretOaklandfoodieVIPDined on 8/4/2014The pasta is always outstanding. The bavette steak and the scallops are both memorable. Great selection of moderately priced wines by the glass. The lighting could improved to make it a little cozier, but the service and the food are so good that it's hard to stay away.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Hit and a missExchicagoanVIPDined on 8/1/2014Really enjoyed the food, but service and ambience details can be improved. Chair upholstery was old and uncomfortable, and acoustics for a small location made it necessary to talk loudly--not what you want to do at a communal table. Server brought a complimentary olive and almond appetizer but no plates or anything else to deposit olive pits. People stood behind our chairs waiting for us to leave, which the hostess should have prevented. Expected better for. A SF restaurant .
- margieVIPDined on 8/1/2014We thought the food was excellent. I think they could give more attention to the wine list.Special Features:
- Love, love itOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/31/2014Authentic friendliness, delicious seasonal food, warm inviting space. Exterior doesn't prepare you for how great the dining room/bar is.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 7/28/2014I love this place. The menu is compact but interesting. The flavors are bright and balanced. The ingredients fresh and novel. The ambiance is perfect for those who love food but aren't in need of a scene. The service is always solid with the waitstaff being attentive and very knowledgeable about the food and wine.
- More than a newghborhood gemJenTVIPDined on 7/28/2014Heirloom Cafe offers creative and flavorful dishes in the new American style at affordable prices. The wine list is interesting, being composed mostly of foreign wines, but wines chosen to pair well with food. Service by the hostess left much to be desired, but the wait staff and attention by the owner made up for that. The restaurant feels like dining in someones Victorian home and is located in a quiet neighborhood. I'll definitely keep returning to Heirloom Cafe.Special Features:

- Wonderful FindgoodfoodVIPDined on 6/30/2014I honestly rarely go to Bernal Heights but it was sooo worth it. Heirloom Café was a total delight. The food was fantastic and the service was really friendly. The menu is not extensive but sometimes I like that better ...narrows the decision making and you get to depend on the chef to serve his/her best. It's homey and light and really a treat. Completely worth the hunt for parking (the only downside)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood GemOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/24/2014Fabulous, fresh, consistent food. Lovely service. Great wine list. Wonderful reasonably priced price fixe dinner too with wine pairings (makes for a fun dining experience). I'll keep going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unpretentious perfectionzukefreshVIPDined on 6/20/2014Heirloom is a rare gem in SF. Yes, it's pretty expensive. Yes, the food has unusual ingredients. But the small menu is well crafted and approachable, and the preparation is simply superb. The dining room is inviting and decorated perfectly and tastefully.Special Features:
- Heirloom impresses againchoombDined on 6/20/2014As usual, Heirloom was terrific. Three course menu with wine pairing guaranteed to please. Food is simple but elegant and nicely portioned.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expensive and pretentiousMel08Dined on 6/17/2014While food was be very good, the price for the scallop dish which was doubled in both quantity and price was a real disappointment. While the food was delicious,paying over a hundred dollars for just four entrees was ridiculous.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- The following 416 reviews are from the Heirloom Cafe reviews archive.
- Elegant and subtleInTheBizEasy2PleaseDined on 5/27/2014Beautifully prepared food, without any of the fussiness or pretension that characterizes so many SF restaurants. Bacon and onion tart was classic and perfect, with a delicate, buttery crust and deeply caramelized onions. Lamb pappardelle with silky pasta was decadent but tastefully executed. Great wine list. Really great, and reasonably priced, too. The glass of '90 Corison Cabernet was a nice touch. I mean, who pours 2 decade old Napa Cab by the glass from magnum? Heirloom Cafe has my highest recommendation, and they didn't even take all my $.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Will Be Back to HeirloomPetitAppetitVIPDined on 5/24/2014Dined here for the first time and will be back. Can't stop thinking about the dessert of ginger ice cream and nectarine and rhubarb cobbler. I liked how flexible the course dinner was presented and all dishes can be ordered a-la-cart. Next time would order bottles of wine (there were 4 of us). The wine by the glasses add up quickly. While the server was nice and relaxed he also admitted to eating pretty much anything and couldn't really recommend dishes. Felt like we were dining at a friends' house. Very comfortable and not as loud as I would have thought.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved the food!EllenVIPDined on 5/16/2014The Heriloom Cafe came highly recommended to me. I made a reservation long in advance in order to get in. We were visiting San Francisco and wanted to try one of the favorite restaurants there. We were not disappointed. I look forward to going back when we are in town again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- outstanding dining experienceMulcaheyVIPDined on 5/14/2014It was only my second time at Heirloom Café, but I feel confident saying you'll have a hard time finding a better casual dining experience locally. The menu, creativity, freshness, and presentation of the food are on a par with, say, Frances (to name a place probably better known), and there's a wisdom and depth to the wine selections that's invigorating, almost shocking. I always think the excellence of a kitchen is reflected in its respect and affection for the commonest vegetables, and Heirloom Café shines in this regard too. Honestly? I'd dine here every night if I could afford it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Top Five: Hideous Main Characters
5. The Father- NierApparently, developers in Japan think that a character change from a young teenager at his prime to a scar riddled man with an eye patch is what American's want in their video games. With it being true for the most part, they certainly outdid many of the developers here in America. The Father is an odd hideous character and as you progress into the second half of the game, you probably would never have guessed that an eye patch would make the character less ugly.
4. Duster- Mother 3Even as a small and pixelated character Duster is noticeably ugly when compared to the other main characters in the Mother universe. From his limp to his bad breath, Duster seems like the last person you would ever want to play as. When playing Mother 3 these features are mentioned by the townspeople and his loved ones on continuous bases. It sets him apart from being another predictable and shallow character that does nothing for the player. Even though, Duster is ridiculed and humiliated while in the heat of saving the world. It creates a charm for Duster that gamers are foreign to.
3. Tingle- Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy RupeelandYes, people hate Tingle. But, it's almost like a love/ hate relationship between him and the player. He is a 35 year old who is still waiting for his fairy to come to him because he is convinced that he is a kokiri child. What's not to love about this guy when he is totally oblivious to reality and time? No matter how annoying and ugly Tingle may be for many Zelda Fans, he is still one of the most unique characters we have ever seen. He even has his own game that goes into greater detail about the origin of his crazy antics.
2. Munch- Oddworld: Munch's OdysseysEver think that a creature is so hideous that it is almost cute? Munch is a creature that best describes this saying. What is more charming and cute then a hideous fish monster that uses a wheelchair to navigate through dry land. With his huge head that has an implanted sonar device and devious smile, he is a character that may be a hideous monster. But, he is a charming and hilarious character, which is a trait that is hard to find in many playable characters. Being the last of his species, I'm having a hard time deciding whether that's good or bad.
1. Custom CharactersNever before have I seen a custom character that actually looks good in appearance. Most gamers will base their character on their own personal appearance, and no matter how many hours they spend on creating the character, it never turns out as planned. The best option for this flaw in the character creation is to create a character as hideous as possible. It will make you feel better about yourself in the process and it is better than seeing a deformed version of yourself playing through the game in its entirety. Even though the custom characters are hideous, it will still have a badass personality like John Shepard from Mass Effect.

Posts Tagged 'gps tracking'
Hooking up your equipment to a GPS tracking device seemed like something straight out of a spy novel a few years ago and only used when the asset was something related to national security.
But as GPS technology has progressed, devices have become more affordable and freely available so assets of all types are being tagged with GPS units. GPS tracking software used to track the units are also a lot more powerful and user-friendly, making them a far more valuable investment for businesses of all sizes.
When an earthquake hits and huge buildings around you are breaking up and raining from the sky, it's unlikely you would be wondering where you left your car and how you could retrieve it. But after you've safely escaped the danger zone, you might be wondering how you can be reunited with your car.
This is the situation facing hundreds of car owners in quake-ravaged city of Christchurch in New Zealand. When the 6.3 magnitude quake hit the central business district of Christchurch, massive buildings crumbled and people ran for their lives, leaving thousands of cars in parking buildings, on the street and in private lots. Now that their lives have returned to some type of normality, they are keen to retrieve their vehicle but it's proving more difficult than anticipated.
When the bugs invade your home you don't stop to think too much about how that pest control technician makes it to your house. You just want him there – fast!
But let's take a moment to step into the world of a pest control business and go behind the scenes. What's involved for a pest control business, from the moment you contact them to tell them you're being overrun by termites or tarantulas, to the actual arrival of a technician, ready to fight those nasty bugs?
There's growing discontent amongst truckers who are complaining that anti-idling laws are not only a huge inconvenience but also putting lives at risk, and not just driver's lives either. If truckers can't regulate the temperature in the cab by keeping the engine idling, some say this will potentially result in drivers freezing to death in their sleep or sleep-deprived drivers on the road, threatening the lives of other motorists.
Are these claims simply scare-mongering by truck drivers? Are the state trucking regulations forgetting commonsense and putting environmentalists ahead of people's lives?

Apple's big day approaches
Will all the rumors of a new tablet prove true? And what will that do to the company's stock?
Tech types have talked about nothing else for months. Apple is making an announcement Wednesday morning, and although the company hasn't confirmed anything, all bets are on the unveiling of a new tablet computer.
Some have joked that tablets haven't received this much attention since the Ten Commandments. We've seen fake pictures, lists of what the tablet will have or won't have and a list of victims the tablet will annihilate (Amazon's Kindle being at the top.)
Investors are anxiously watching to see how Apple's stock handles the news, and I have a prediction. In the short term, we'll see the classic AAPL "buy on hype, sell on news" behavior.
Apple shares are soaring Tuesday, up 5% at midday and approaching their 52-week high of $215.59. Its strong earnings report Monday has a lot to do with that, but tablet hype is definitely lifting the stock as well.
Expectations for the tablet are so high right now that there is bound to be some disappointment. It might have built-in 3G networking. It might cost less than $1,000. It might project video onto your living room TV. It might have an extraordinary battery life.
Or it might not.
Apple hasn't had the best track record with version 1.0. Nor should it. You need to start somewhere, and Apple keeps improving on its products until they outperform everything else.
So we could see a drop in the share price Wednesday as hopes are dashed. But permit me some degree of hype here on the long run. A snappy, well-designed and affordable tablet could be huge. And it could well become a major product family for Apple.
Apple chief executive Steve Jobs has often talked about the company as a three-legged stool of products: the iPod, the iPhone and the Mac. But one of those legs, the iPod, is fading fast. A tablet line could take its place.
One of the most knowledgeable Apple analysts, Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray, thinks the company could sell about 1.4 million tablets this year if it ships in March. If the tablet runs for about $600 on average, Munster says, it could boost Apple's revenue by 2%.
Has the tablet's potential already been priced into Apple shares? Analysts have recently raised their target prices on Apple to the $260 to $280 range.
There's a nontablet rumor that's also exciting some Apple users. Some are speculating that Apple will announce Wednesday that it's ending its exclusive contract with AT&T (T) as the iPhone's U.S. carrier. That would be welcome news for those who bash AT&T's networking and connectivity issues.

Asherman syndrome
Asherman syndrome is the formation of intrauterine adhesions (scar tissue), which typically develop after uterine surgery.
Alternative Names
Uterine synechiae
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Asherman syndrome is a rare condition. In most cases, it occurs in women who have had several dilatation and curettage (D&C) procedures.
A severe pelvic infection unrelated to surgery may also lead to Asherman syndrome.
Intrauterine adhesions can also form after infection with tuberculosis or schistosomiasis. These infections are rare in the United States, and uterine complications such as Asherman syndrome related to these infections are even less common.
The adhesions may cause amenorrhea (lack of menstrual periods), repeated miscarriages, and infertility.
However, such symptoms could be related to several conditions. They are more likely to indicate Asherman syndrome if they occur suddenly after a D&C or other uterine surgery.
Signs and tests
A pelvic exam is usually normal.
Tests may include:
- Blood tests to detect tuberculosis or schistosomiasis
- Hysteroscopy
- Hysterosonogram
- Infertility evaluation
- Transvaginal ultrasound examination
Treatment involves surgery to cut and remove the adhesions or scar tissue. This can usually be done with hysteroscopy, which uses small instruments and a camera placed into the uterus through the cervix.
After scar tissue is removed, the uterine cavity must be kept open while it heals to prevent adhesions from returning. Your health care provider may place a small balloon inside the uterus for several days and prescribe estrogen therapy while the uterine lining heals.
Antibiotic treatment may be necessary if there is an infection.
Support Groups
The stress of illness can often be helped by joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems. See www.ashermans.org for information about an online Asherman syndrome support group.
Expectations (prognosis)
Asherman syndrome can be cured in most women with surgery, although sometimes more than one procedure will be necessary.
Women who are infertile because of Asherman syndrome may have a successful pregnancy after treatment Successful pregnancy depends on the severity of Asherman syndrome and the difficulty of the treatment, as well as other factors that affect fertility and pregnancy.
Complications of hysteroscopic surgery are uncommon and include bleeding, perforation of the uterus, and pelvic infection.
In some cases, treatment of Asherman syndrome will not cure infertility.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if your menstrual periods do not resume after a gynecologic or obstetrical procedure. An evaluation for infertility is also warranted if you are unable to achieve a pregnancy after 6 to 12 months of trying.
Most cases of Asherman syndrome cannot be predicted or prevented.

Wizard Mat- Oversized Educational Game Concept
|Surprisingly, one in three American children born in 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime. Worsening exercise and nutrition trends among youth are increasing the need for new approaches to education. Games are widely recognized as an effective tool to facilitate learning and promote hands-on experience. A researcher at Utah State University has developed a new game concept, the Wizard Mat, which makes it fun, easy, and enjoyable for youth to learn the benefits of healthy eating and weight management, among other concepts. Playing on the Wizard Mat, an oversized game board, allows each player to act as a moving token. Youth learn key concepts related to health or other topics while answering questions. With a goal of moving around the board, youth enjoy the added fun of oversize foam die, Mystery Moves Cards, and Treats Cards. The Wizard Mat can accommodate multiple learning concepts simply by changing the topic card set.
|Features and Benefits
|The Wizard Mat is a game concept that can be applied to any topic, although originally designed for health and nutrition learning. Using an oversized game board, players act as traveling tokens whose goal is to be the first to move around the board. The game can be played as individuals or in teams (for larger groups). Players (or team members) stand in the box where they land, rolling oversized foam die for the number of moves. The Wizard Mat is made more interesting by penalties for incorrect answers, as well as specialty cards. Because the spaces on the Wizard Mat are not specific to any one game topic, multiple games can be played with a variety of topic card sets.
|Development Stage
|A prototype of the Wizard Mat has been developed and tested.
Two question and answer sets have been developed:

A 17-year-old Tempe boy has died in a sledding accident in Flagstaff.
The teen and 11 of his high school classmates were sledding in an area known as Mountainaire, which is south of Flagstaff, just off the I-17.
He was on a sled with a friend when they lost control and hit a tree on Sunday.
The teen was rushed to Flagstaff Medical Center but died during surgery Monday afternoon. He suffered multiple serious external and internal injuries. The other person sitting behind him on the sled suffered minor injuries.
The victim has been identified as 17-year-old Jake McGrady of Tempe. He went to Corona Del Sol High School.
We spoke to some family members who told us Jake was a great kid and what happened was a horrible tragedy.
Two parents were on the trip supervising the teens.
The Coconino County Sheriff's Department is investigating the accident.

Home Cheese Soft-Ripened Cheeses Chèvre Aux Epices
This tasty goat cheese, known in English as spiced Cabri, is made entirely by hand in Les Deux-Sevres, right next to the Atlantic Ocean. An aromatic blend of herbs from Provence coats the Chèvre aux epices (literally meaning Goat cheese with spices). The fresh goat cheese has a tangy bite and an inviting bouquet. An artisanal cheese, Chèvre aux epices is best enjoyed on rustic bread with a glass of smoky Chardonay, or red wine.
Chèvre aux epices is known for its fresh center, pure white color and delicate texture. The cheese is robed with a savory blend of spices that includes peppercorns, mustard, sweet pepper, onion, parsley and chili pepper. These spices not only give the cheese its unique flavor, but also its mouth-watering aroma. Made from pasteurized goat's milk, the cheese is drained and ventilated. Its wonderful taste can be attributed to the fact that only the rich-tasting milk of grass-fed goats and all-natural and local ingredients are used. For a quick – and delicious – appetizer, spread Chèvre aux epices over toasted baguette slices, or fresh country bread. Pair it with one of the rather strong red wines from the Côte du Rhône, including Cote Rotie, Hermitage, or St-Joseph.

Buffalo's Early
News In- Depth:
HEAR Prof. Steve Vermette, Coordinator of the Meterology Program at SUNY Buffalo State with WBEN's John Zach & Dave Debo
The days before the storm were quite mild for early October. But then, says National Weather Service meterologist John Hitchcock, things changed.
"We had a strong low pressure system move into the Great Lakes states, and behind that was a mass of cold air that was just cold enough to set the stage for lake effect snow," says Hitchcock.
Here's how The National Weather Service described it in their storm blog: Read more here
"Not only was it the earliest named event by far (two weeks) of the over 120 in the 13 year record of our lake effect archive, but it was the most unique in regards to destruction of trees and power outages, directly because of its out of season factor.
"Almost a million residents of the Niagara Frontier lost power, some for as long as a week, and tree damage was the worst in memory, especially to the lush vegetation in the many historic parkways and parks in the Buffalo area."
The crippling snows extended well across Genesee and Orleans counties, and pushed into extreme southern Niagara county, but there was a sharp cutoff to any damage, which ran along a line from Whitehaven Road on Grand Island to Wheatfield to Medina on the north, Leroy and Bergen on the east, and East Aurora and southern Hamburg on the south.
Finally, all snow melted within about 48 to 60 hours with little flooding. Here are some representative reports. All reports off of Lake Erie...
The event had the most impact of any in our record. Not only the amount of snow which was among our highest, but it was way out of season and of course had the far greatest damage and power problems and affected over a million, people in a dramatic fashion for many days. It therefore earns...
Buffalo, NY (WBEN) More than 40,000 trees were lost in the storm, but some of those trees live on all over the area.
"It left behind something for people to remember the storm, unfortunately, but what good can come out of it," says Therese Forton-Barnes, who launched Carvings for a Cause, as a fundraising effort to replace trees lost in the storm. "We have wonderful carvings of significant characters and people from Western New York who gave us a lot of memories or history."
Among the carvings are Father Baker, and Bills legends Thurman Thomas and Jim Kelly. The carvings can still be seen across Western New York. They were made from trees the storm took down.
The money raised went primarily toward planting trees throughout the region. "Losing 40,000 trees was detrimental to our region. Thankfully, there are a lot of great people who helped with my project but with Re-Tree Western New York who really did a lot of work to getting our trees planted in areas where they got hit bad," says Forton-Barnes.
The last of the carvings was done roughly a year and a half ago.
Seven Years Later, about 90 percent of the trees in Western New York are misshapen....
... due to the storm, according to Thomas Herrerra-Mischler, of the Olmstead Parks Conservancy. He says about 90 percent of the trees were somehow affected.
The conservancy has a goal of planting 1,000 new trees each year, to replace those killed in the storm and bring the parks up to a peak not seen this century.
Similarly, Re-Tree WNY has a 60,000 tree replanting goal. Volunteers there have already placed about 25,000 trees.

Lessons for Apple in Sony's fall
Sony's unprecedented ability to innovate in the realm of consumer electronics hit a wall as the company failed to move on, to reinvent and to think differently.
By Dana Blackenhorn, TheStreet
Sony (SNE) was once what Apple (AAPL) is now.
Under the late Akio Morita, the Tokyo-based company was where consumer electronics came from; Sony was an iconoclastic company that marched to the beat of its own entrepreneurial drummer.
Before there was the Cult of Steve, there was the Cult of Morita-san.
It's impossible for young people today to understand just how revolutionary the Walkman was in its time. It let us take our music -- not the radio station's programming but whole albums -- with us wherever we went. And it ran on regular AA batteries.
If the iPod is a telephone, the Walkman was a telegraph, the first revolution, not a refinement.
Hirai will be in New York on Feb. 20, where CNET and others expect that he'll unveil the PlayStation 4, the first reboot of the game console since 2006. The website GameSpot says the new device will sell for about $425 and feature biometric controls and cloud streaming.
To which investors are likely to say, ho-hum. Been there, done that.
The latest earnings news halted some momentum Sony stock had in January. Its market cap in dollars is now about one-fourth of its annual sales in yen.
More prized than cash
What does this have to do with Apple? Apple is in a position similar to that which Sony occupied in the 1980s, when it was piling up cash and playing from strength to strength. Sony put that cash into content, buying CBS Records and Columbia Pictures. Sony Pictures led the U.S. box office last year. Those assets may be worth more than the whole company is now.
David Einhorn has sued Apple to extract cash for shareholders, saying it should issue preferred stock tied to the company's dividend. The hedge fund investor accuses Apple of having a "Depression-era mentality" and says the $145/share in cash on its books needs to go to the company's owners.
Whether the cash goes to shareholders or to buying other companies matters less, however, than what new products and new categories Apple opens.
Its stock price problems would vanish if investors saw another iPad-like hit on the horizon. What disturbs us most is the notion that the company is repeating itself, delivering new versions of what it already has, rather than something truly new.
That's what happened to Sony. Its biggest hit was the Trinitron TV, and it has kept selling TVs to this day, even though flat screens are now commodities that don't wear out as tubes did. The Trinitron was Sony's Macintosh, as the Walkman was its iPod. Sony's failure to move on, to reinvent, to think differently, especially after Morita-san suffered a stroke in 1993 and retired in 1994, was its undoing.
Right to be concerned
Apple shareholders are right to be concerned. Cash, in the form of dividends or preferred stock, won't feed our hunger. Neither will acquisitions.
We need something new, something that convinces us CEO Tim Cook has a little of that Jobs magic in him. We need the magic that Morita's successors, starting with Norio Ohga, failed to deliver to Sony.
We're right to need that, because we saw what failure to innovate did to Sony. Until we're convinced Cook can think differently, Apple stock will languish -- no matter how financial engineers try to prop it up.

Nine young hockey hopefuls got the call they were dreading early Monday morning as they were informed that they had been cut from the roster that Team Canada will be sending to Buffalo for the upcoming World Junior Hockey Championship.
"It's obviously not the nicest wakeup," said defenceman Brayden McNabb as he prepared for the long trek back to British Columbia to rejoin the Kootenay Ice. "It's pretty hard to take right now; obviously I wanted to be on the team."
Joining McNabb in disappointment this morning was fellow blueliner and Toronto Maple Leafs draft pick Jesse Blacker, who admitted to feeling a sense of dread when he was awoken from his slumber Monday morning.
"You look at the phone for a second and you realize that it's for you or your roommate," Blacker told reporters. "It's a disappointing feeling."
Other players who were released to their junior clubs included forwards Brad Ross of the Portland Winterhawks, Brendan Gallagher of the Vancouver Giants, Linden Vey of the Medicine Hat Tigers, Ryan Howse of the Chilliwack Bruins as well as Garrett Wilson and Joey Hishon of the Owen Sound Attack.
For Hishon, who was a first-round pick, 17th overall, of the Colorado Avalanche in this past June's NHL Entry Draft, it was particularly hard to take. However, he stressed that he bore no ill will.
"This is probably the first time I've ever been cut from a team," said Hishon. "It's pretty hard to argue with Hockey Canada's decision with their track record. I'll be their biggest fan over Christmas."
Forward Reilly Smith, who was one of four players invited to camp who did not ply their trade in the CHL, said he felt players from the NCAA were at a distinct disadvantage; however he was not bitter at the experience.
"It's definitely a transition coming from college hockey, it's a different style of play," said Smith, who is now heading back to Miami (Ohio) University in the CCHA. "It's not overly too bad, it's just tough to see it end this way."
Some of the younger players whose camps ended in disappointment had come to the realization that being cut is all part of the process of their development.
"I'm not going to have any regrets going back to my club team," said Gallagher as he prepared to return to Vancouver. "I thought I came here and did everything that I could so I'll come back here next year and do everything that I can".
To a man, every player who ended up on the outside looking in said they were not bitter about being released and would still be behind Canada for the upcoming tournament.
"It's a tough feeling and a tough pill to swallow but I know they are going to pick a good team," said Howse, who will now turn his attention back to the Bruins' playoff push. "Judging by the players they've got here they've got a good shot at winning gold this year. It was good to be a part of it for sure."
While there were no real surprises amongst the players who were cut, what was somewhat surprising was the fact that all four underage players, Sean Couturier, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Ryan Murray and Ryan Murphy, survived the first round of cuts leaving head coach Dave Cameron and his staff plenty of decisions still to be made in terms of the final roster.
"They are all good hockey players," said Cameron. "It's just part of the process that we have to make decisions and they are tough decisions."
Assuming this year's squad goes with 13 forwards, seven defencemen and two goaltenders, there are still four forwards, three blueliners and two goalies left to be released.
The remaining hopefuls will get their final shot at impressing Team Canada's brass in Tuesday night's game against a team of Canadian university all-stars. Cameron is then expected to make his final cuts Wednesday morning to finalize the 22-man roster that Canada will ice to face Switzerland in a pre-competition game on December 20th in Oshawa, Ontario before the tournament proper opens on the 26th against the Russians.

Perry Hall High School is more than 20 miles from Catonsville High, where Principal Deborah Bittner announced Monday, Aug. 27, on the school intercom, "There's been a tragic situation ..."
"It's made us think and rethink how we would handle something like this," Bittner said an interview, reflecting on the shooting at Perry Hall High that morning.
There, a male student was flown to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center after being shot by a fellow student with a shotgun during the first lunch period of the school year, according to county police. As of Monday evening, the victim was in critical condition.
"It's a reminder of vigilance," Bittner said.
In Towson, Notre Dame Preparatory School sent out a "Dear Families" email in the wake of the shooting.
"Please know that your daughters are safe and their well-being is always at the forefront of our minds," wrote Sister Patricia McCarron, principal of Notre Dame Prep.
Public and private schools around Baltimore County are taking to heart the school system's insistence that safety is its top priority.
"We want to make sure our environments are safe," schools Superintendent S. Dallas Dance said at a news conference late Monday afternoon. In a news release, he said safety is "our paramount concern and priority."
It was a sentiment expressed by county and school officials throughout the day, even as many expressed the consensus view that the incident was isolated.
"If our schools aren't secure, the kids aren't going to learn anything," said Michael Bowler, District I representative on the county school board.
According to police, a 15-year-old student was apprehended shortly after the shooting. Police said they believe he acted alone and did not target the victim. Several other students suffered minor, nonshooting injuries during the incident, police department spokeswoman Elise Armacost said.
Investigators were still reviewing details of the incident and were interviewing the suspect, who was cooperating, Armacost said.
'Big red book'
School system spokesman Charles Herndon said principals at all schools are given a "critical incident response book" that details measures to be taken in the event of emergencies, ranging from fires to school violence. The document, which Herndon said is known as "the big red book" because of its red cover, is available at the school system website, http://www.bcps.org. Principals are supposed to know the book "backwards and forward," Herndon said.
"Every school runs drills for everything," said Jackie Brewster, president of the PTA Council of Baltimore County. "Nobody wants that kind of tragedy, but everyone prepares for it."
"Each year, we take care to review fire drill, lockdown and evacuation procedures, so we are best prepared in the event of an emergency, and later this week we are scheduling our first lockdown drill exercise," McCarron wrote to Notre Dame Prep families. Please be sure to talk to your daughter about the importance of these exercises and of her cooperation during these drills."
The crisis management team at Maryvale Preparatory School in Brooklandville — which has a handful of students from the White Marsh-Perry Hall area — called the county police precinct in White Marsh and ascertained that a suspect had been taken into custody. Then Tracey Ford, Maryvale's president, sent an email to reassure the school community that "everyone is safe here," Donna Bridickas, Maryvale's principal, told a reporter.
"We're on the other side of town" from Perry Hall," Bridickas said. "But whenever there's an incident in a school, especially in the (Baltimore) area, we want to make sure we know what's happening."
"We always take the safety of our students seriously, so we didn't have to do anything differently," said Pam Oliver-Jones, principal of Sparks Elementary School.
Lynda Whitlock, principal of the 1,800-student Dulaney High School in Towson, said the faculty had gone over the school's emergency preparations the week before school opened.

Categories: Population, Migration, International Migration, Short-term Migrants
Frequency of release: Ad-hoc
Language: English
Geographical coverage: England and Wales
Geographical breakdown: Other
Survey name(s): Census, International Passenger Survey (IPS)
For England and Wales, the mid-2011 estimate of short-term immigrants based on the International Passenger Survey (IPS) was 41,000 higher than the 2011 Census estimate of short-term residents (STRs).
Six main differences were identified between the two sets of estimates; these differences relate to how the two sources define short-term immigrants and how the estimates are produced.
The two sources appear to categorise short-term immigrants differently; the IPS estimated fewer short-term immigrants visiting for work and study and more short-term immigrants visiting for reasons other than work or study compared to the 2011 Census.
The distribution of short-term immigrant workers and students to local authorities in England and Wales is similar to the distribution of STR workers and students to local authorities in the 2011 Census.
These National Statistics are produced to high professional standards and released according to the arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority.

Oh, how Don Imus probably wishes he was in outer-space with Stern right now. Last week, Imus called the Rutgers women's basketball team nappy headed hos and, as of this week, he no longer has a job. And that's probably a good thing. Long considered an inveterate racist and sexist by a whole gaggle of cultural critics, Imus' remark took an undeserved potshot at some pretty admirable women.
But now, the tenor of the debate is changing. The fact that Imus made an inappropriate remark is well-established. Now we just have to figure out why Imus called those women nappy headed hos? But seriously, why even ask the question when the answer is so obvious: it's hip-hop's fault!
A number of commentators from across the political spectrum have pointed out that a double standard seemingly exists. Turn on Black Entertainment Television (BET), these people say, and youll see a number of young black males rapping about sex, drugs and violence with no repercussions. The insinuation is clear: What Imus said was wrong, but the real problem is that rap artists are given carte blanche to sell smut.
The implication is that white American society has worked hard to eradicate racism from its ranks, while the black community perpetuates the very stereotypes that defined white racism. After all, if black folks are willing to tolerate a culture that demeans women and glorifies violence, why wouldn't white folks think they could participate in that culture of abuse?
Unfortunately, demonizing hip-hop as the source of the Imus scandal is a clever tactic by politically correct tightwads to redirect the burden of racism and sexism onto the African-American community: Don Imus might be a racist, but he's only a racist because those darn rappers don't have enough consideration for the women in their own communities.
That's the sort of specious logic that neglects the fact that cultural perceptions are the product of an interaction between blacks and whites. Obviously, hip-hop is an industry dominated by black males, but it is also an industry that white suburbanites consume with abandon. The nature of that interaction reveals that rap music which, at this point, is simply popular music satisfies the desires of a bi-racial audience.
Part of the problem is figuring out why the lyrical content of rap lags so far behind the genre's formal innovation. But the other part of the problem is figuring out why white audiences lap up that language and imagery, especially in the context of a long history of oppressive racial relations in this country.
It's wrong to blame Imus remark on black rappers. Rather, a serious conversation about this subject involves an examination of the cultural assumptions both black and white that drive the American consumption of hip-hop.

The Spelling Society's Guide To Better Spelling
Redundant Letters
English spelling is full of redundant letters. They were probably retained long after they ceased to be pronounced to distinguish the meaning of words that sound alike (homonyms) but others have no useful purpose whatsoever. Common ones: answer, dumb, gnash, gnome, knife, plumber, wrong – in fact in any word beginning with gn, kn or wr, the first letter is almost certainly silent.
There are many redundant e's at the end of words such as: are, have, give, were etc. These mislead because they do not act as Magic E, indeed they do not alter the pronunciation of the word at all. Generally words with redundant letters just have to be memorised. BUT note the tips shown in the following paragraphs.
Where a verb ends with a "d" sound in the past tense (technical term: a weak verb), add an –ed rather than a single d (loved, pushed, picked). The e is of course redundant (except in verbs ending in d or t (eg folded, batted), but if you remember this rule, then it removes one category of redundant letters you would otherwise have to memorise!
Any word with a short vowel ending in the "v" sound will also have a redundant e (have, give, glove, live, love, shove etc.) BUT where the vowel is long, the e is not redundant: live (adjective), wives, rave, etc.
The real eccentrics
Some words just can't be brought within any rules and have to be memorised. They include some very common ones – shown in italics.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten eleven, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, hundred, thousand, million; first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth etc.
Days of the Week:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday (Tuesday and Thursday can probably be treated as regular on the basis that they are formerly two words: Thor's day and Freia's day!)
Months of the year:
January, February, March, April, May, June, July, September, October, November, December.
Spring, summer, autumn, winter.
Plus the following from the 500 most common English words:
above, among, animal, answer, appear, are, as, base, beauty, before, blue, body, book, both, build, busy, children, colour, come, correct, country, course, cover, develop, do, does, don't, done, door, early, earth, enough, ever, every, eye, family, field, figure, follow, foot, friend, front, full, give, good, govern, great, group, grow, have, head, heard, hour, house, I, idea, island, knew, know, laugh, learn, leave, listen, live, look, love, low, machine, many, measure, minute, money, more, move, never, nothing, of, often, once, only, own, people, piece, pull, put, ready, river, room, rule, said, second, serve, several, show, slow, snow, some, stood, sure, the, their, there, though, through, to, took, toward, travel, true, very, want, war, warm, was, watch, water, were, what, where, who, whole, wonder, wood, word, work, world, write, you, young, your.
These are all in a sense irregular (according to the rules described above) because:
(i) the letter in red is redundant, or
(ii) the letter or letter combination in blue is a non-standard way of representing the sound in question and can cause confusion (eg stood), or
(iii) the letter in brown should either be doubled or is doubled unnecessarily.Leave us your feedback on this chapter. It only takes a minute! Or select another chapter on the right

Impressive Zindeeq and Harragas present different portraits of Arab world
Mon Dec 14,2009
Zindeeq and Harragas, two films at the cutting edge of Arabian cinema, will go into repeat screening today (Dec. 14) at Cinestar, Mall of the Emirates, as part of the Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF).
The films have generated strong audience response with the two films presenting different portraits of the Arab world. DIFF Artistic Director Masoud Amralla Al Ali said the broad selection of films from the Arab world has been immensely appreciated by the audience for their narrative brilliance, content and presentation.
Zindeeq, directed by Michel Khleifi and produced by Omar Al Qattan, features an exiled Palestinian filmmaker documenting memories of the 1948 'Nakba', who finds himself having to return home to face his own fears and identity. This masterful feature – quietly witty, complex and occasionally surreal – marks a new direction in Khleifi's work. The film screens at Cinestar 12 at 4pm.
The film is also the recipeint of the US$25,000 Desert Door DIFF Work in Progress Award to encourage Arab filmmaking. A partnership between the Dubai International Film Festival and Desert Door Productions, the DIFF Work in Progress Award is part of Dubai Film Connection, the festival's co-production platform established to raise the visibility of Arab filmmakers and stimulate the growth of film production originating from the Arab world
Harragas, receiving only its second screening after the Venice Film Festival, is directed by Merzak Allouache. The tense Algerian drama follows three friends' desperate attempts to flee illegally to Spain in a battered boat across the stormy straits.
DIFF 2009 is held in association with Dubai Studio City and will be held from December 9 to 16. Dubai Duty Free, Dubai Pearl, Emirates Airline and Madinat Jumeirah are the principal sponsors of DIFF and the event is supported by Dubai Culture & Arts Authority (Dubai Culture). For more information on the festival, please visit www.dubaifilmfest.com.
