The best thing about a successful backyard garden is the bounty of food it provides.
The worst thing about a prolific plot: Figuring out what to do when the beans, zucchini, peppers and other vegetables come on fast and furious.
Tips for perfect pickling
Here are a few things to consider when pickling:
Produce » The difference between good pickled vegetables and great ones is the freshness of the ingredients. Ideally, you should pickle as soon as you harvest.
Salt » Regular table salt, which contains additives, may darken pickles or cause the brine to become cloudy. Most recipes call for pickling (or canning) salt because it contains no additives. Fine sea salt is a good additive-free substitute. Kosher salt can be used, but it's tricky because of volume differences. Usually 1 teaspoon table salt is equal to 1 1/8 to 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt.
Vinegar » It's best to use commercial vinegars when pickling. Distilled, cider, malt and wine vinegars with at least 5 percent acidity can all be used successfully. Rice vinegar usually has a lower acidity level, about 4.3 percent, and isn't considered safe for canning.
Start small » Making pickles one jar at a time is easier and less intimidating than large batches. It also means vegetables are preserved at their peak and not stored in the refrigerator until you have enough for a big batch. One-jar batches also are recommended when trying a new recipe. Then you'll know if you like the product before making a large time/vegetable investment.
Be clean » Before filling, wash jars, lids and bands in soapy water and then sterilize with boiling water.
Follow the recipe » Don't make substitutions or alter the proportions of ingredients, as it can change the acid level and make the food unsafe. Same goes for processing times. Food must reach a certain temperature to kill bacteria and other organisms and failing to process long enough can result in contamination.
Altitude adjustment » Most canning recipes are tested at or below 1,000 feet above sea level. Because water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitudes — which is most of Utah — cooks will need to increase processing times to ensure that food is safe. Here's a guide.
Altitude in feet » Increase processing time*
1,001 to 3,000 » 5 minutes
3,001 to 6,000 » 10 minutes
6,001 to 8,000 » 15 minutes
8,001 to 10,000 » 20 minutes
*Processing time doesn't start until the filled bottles are submerged and the water is brought back to a rolling boil.

An easy, time-tested way out of this gardening pickle is to pickle what comes out of the garden.
Cucumbers are the preferred pickling vehicle, but just about any fresh vegetable or fruit can be brined in salt and vinegar, says master food preserver Alison Einerson.
"Right now in my cupboard I have pickled carrots, dilly beans, pickled beets, pickled watermelon rinds and pickled okra," said Einerson, who will help teach a series of canning classes in Salt Lake City this summer. (See schedule at the end of this page. Three recipes follow at the end of this story.) Asparagus, corn, jalapenos, tomatillos, green tomatoes and even fennel are other pickling possibilities.
Einerson said she remembers as a child pickling vegetables with her grandmother. But it wasn't until seven years ago, when her garden produced more food than her family could consume, that she relearned the skill. The taste is the payoff, she said. Pickled vegetables make quick and easy side dishes. Or when you "add a pickled vegetable to a fresh green salad, it takes it to a whole different place."
Easy does it » Pickling is a great option for busy people who don't have a lot of time, and also works for those who worry about the possibilities of food poisoning.
The scientific reason why pickling has been around so long has to do with acid levels. When canning high-acid foods such as tomatoes, peaches, plums as well as jams and jellies, cooks can use a simple water bath canner because the pH levels in the food will naturally keep bacteria from growing.
Vegetables, however, have lower acid levels and require the use of a more serious — and intimidating — bacteria killer: the steam-pressure canner.
When vegetables are packed in the right kind of vinegar and salt (see tips at left), it ups the acid levels and the water-bath method works just fine.
Of course, part of pickling's beauty is that it can be done without a canner. Cooks can pack a single jar with fresh, cleaned vegetables, cover them with a brine and store the whole thing in the refrigerator.
"Pickling is very hip right now," explained Claire Uno, director and Wasatch Community Gardens. The nonprofit gardening organization is sponsoring a seven-part canning series that Einerson is teaching, along with the Downtown Alliance, Harmons and Edible Wasatch magazine. Customer demand was part of the reason for the classes.
"So much of what we do is encouraging people to grow as much food as possible, but when your harvest is bountiful it can be difficult to eat it all at once," Uno said.
Teaching people to preserve, no matter if it's by pickling, freezing or canning, "allows people to eat locally for many more months out of the year than they would otherwise."
New again » Andrea Chesman, author of The Pickled Pantry ($19.95, Storey Publishing), has seen the pickling movement come full circle. She originally wrote the book in 1983. A new version with additional recipes and tips was published earlier this month.
"There's this whole revived interest in all sorts of back-to-the-land skills, and pickling is among them," Chesman said during a telephone interview from her home in Vermont.
Pickling is easy, and the process actually improves the flavor of some vegetables. "Cauliflower is at its most delicious as a pickle, and I think cabbage is particularly good as kimchi or sauerkraut," she said.
While pickling is a tried-and-trued method for preserving food, some things have changed over the last three decades. "There are more ethnic influences on how we eat and how we cook," she said. Which is why the new edition of her cookbook includes recipes for Korean kimchi and Latin America curtido. "Salvadorian sauerkraut wasn't on anybody's radar — at least outside of San Salvador — back then," she said.
The Pickled Pantry offers tips on produce selection and pickling techniques as well as recipes for incorporating pickled vegetables into everyday meals.
"Its easy to get enthusiastic and end up with 50 jars of pickled vegetables, which you must go through at a rate of one a week," she said. "When you do end up with a surplus of pickles, you need to get creative about using them."

Small batch dilly beans
For each pint jar you will need:
3/4 cup distilled white vinegar
6 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon pickling or fine sea salt
2 garlic cloves
6 sprigs fresh dill, 1 dill head or 1 tablespoon dill seed
2 cups (about 6 ounces) trimmed green beans
Combine the white vinegar, water, sugar and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolved sugar and salt.
Pack garlic, dill and beans in a sterilized, hot 1-pint canning jar. Pour hot vinegar mixture over beans, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Run a knife between the beans and the side of the jar to remove any air bubbles, adding more brine if necessary. Wipe the rim of the jar with a clean, damp cloth to remove any food particles. Cover jars with the lids and secure with metal screw band. Beans can be placed in the refrigerator at this point.
Or to seal, process in a boiling-water bath for 5 minutes (or more depending on altitude. See processing time chart). Remove from hot water and allow the jars to cool undisturbed for 12 hours. Store in a cool, dry place. Don't open for at least six weeks to allow flavors to develop.
Recipe can be doubled, tripled, quadrupled depending on how many jars you want to make.

Montezemolo said, "I wanted to be at the Montmelo circuit, because today more than ever, my thoughts are with Michael Schumacher and his family. It was at this track on 2 June 1996 that he took his first Grand Prix win in a Ferrari, which began that long run of victories with the Scuderia." "So it is from here that I want to send another message of encouragement to this great friend who is facing his most difficult challenge. He must tackle it with the courage and determination that he always showed on track. Myself, everyone at Ferrari and all his fans are always thinking of him," added the Ferrari boss.

Congress government of P.V. Narasimha Rao
The first round of the elections took place on May 20, but the following day in Tamil Nadu, in a small town just south of Madras (now Chennai), Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated in a suicide bomb attack. A woman apparently of Sri Lankan Tamil origin and bearing a concealed plastic bomb destroyed herself and more than a dozen others crowded around Gandhi, who, though expected to regain the post of prime minister, had abandoned his previous security precautions to campaign more vigorously. The other two rounds of the elections were postponed in respect for the young leader. After Sonia Gandhi, Rajiv's Italian-born widow, declined an invitation by the central committee of the Congress (I) to replace her husband as party president, the Congress (I) closed ranks behind P.V. (Pamulaparti Venkata) Narasimha Rao, one of its most senior leaders and diplomats, and unanimously elected him Congress (I) president.
"The only way to exist in India is to coexist," Rao told his pluralistic country as election campaigning resumed in early June. Though the younger Gandhi's assassination apparently had ended the Nehru dynasty, the Nehru legacy of secular democratic development for India remained embodied at the head of the Congress (I). Born in the southern presidency of Madras in what later became Andhra Pradesh state, Rao had been a disciple of Mohandas Gandhi and of Nehru, had served in the Lok Sabha, and was appointed foreign minister under both Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. On June 20, after the Congress (I) won more than 220 of the 524 seats contested for the Lok Sabha, Rao was able to form a minority government and became the first Indian prime minister from a southern state. The opposition in the Lok Sabha was led by Advani, whose BJP won some 120 seats, reaching a new peak in popularity, especially in the Hindi-speaking heartland of northern India, where it took control of India's most populous state, Uttar Pradesh. The JD gained fewer than 60 seats, just slightly more than the approximately 50 seats won by the two communist parties.
The Rao government's nearly five-year rule was marked by many challenges. In 1992 Advani's promise to resume his "sacred pilgrimage" to Ayodhya to erect Rama's temple became an immediate and potentially explosive issue when, despite promises of restraint from Hindu nationalist leaders, an army of Hindu protestors tore down the Babri Masjid in December of that year. The destruction of the 464-year-old mosque ignited the country's worst interreligious rioting since the Indian partition of 1947 and set the stage for severe clashes between Hindu and Muslim extremists during the rest of the decade and into the early years of the 21st century.
Also in 1992, amid allegations of corruption within the Rao government, a number of bankers, brokers, and political figures were indicted in a wide-scale stock market swindle in which public funds were used to inflate stock prices in order to benefit the conspirators. Those financial misdealings took place in a framework of growing economic liberalization, deregulation, and privatization that had begun under the government of Rajiv Gandhi and that continued unabated through the close of the century. India's move toward a more market-oriented economy was fueled largely by an educational system that produced a huge number of graduates in technology and the sciences, and India experienced a dramatic growth in its high-technology and computer sectors.
India since the mid-1990s
The first and second BJP governments
Despite a booming national economy, the Congress Party—the "(I)" was by then dropped—polled poorly in the 1996 general election, falling from 260 seats in the Lok Sabha to only 140 (at that point an all-time low). In part, the drop in Congress support stemmed from accusations of political corruption on the part of Rao. To some extent, however, it signaled a rise in Hindu nationalism in the form of the BJP. That party increased its representation in the Lok Sabha from 113 to 161, the overall largest party representation, but no party had sufficient seats to form a government. The BJP, led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee, was unable to form a stable coalition, and Vajpayee held the premiership for scarcely a week.
A hastily contrived coalition, the JD-led United Front (UF), headed by the JD's H.D. Deve Gowda, soon was able to form a government. But the UF relied on the backing of the Congress from the outside (i.e., support without being a member of the coalition), in exchange for continuing certain Congress policies. The coalition still proved unstable, and Gowda was replaced as prime minister in April 1997 by Inder Kumar Gujral, also of the JD. However, an interim report on Rajiv Gandhi's assassination released in November stated that the Dravidian Progressive Federation (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam; DMK) party, a member of the UF, shared responsibility in Gandhi's death. The Congress Party removed its support, and, after the collapse of the UF, new elections were slated for March 1998. (The claims against the DMK were never substantiated.)
Much to the chagrin of the Congress Party, the BJP polled well in the March elections, increasing its membership in the Lok Sabha from 160 seats to 179. The Congress, now led by Sonia Gandhi, increased their representation slightly, garnering an additional five seats. No single party seemed to be in a position to form a government (the JD's total had fallen to a mere six seats), and it was only after much politicking that the BJP was able to form a new governing coalition, again under Vajpayee.
The BJP-led coalition, called the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), crumbled in April 1999 and operated as a caretaker government until elections that fall. The BJP again had a good outing, outpolling all other parties and raising its representation in the Lok Sabha to 182 seats, and a second NDA government was formed. The Congress representation in the lower house eroded even further, to 112 seats.
India had conducted its first nuclear weapons test in 1974, but its program for developing and fielding such weapons had been covert. Under the BJP, India publicly and proudly declared itself a member of those states possessing nuclear weapons, and in May 1998—within months of the BJP coming to power—India conducted a series of five nuclear weapons tests. That action apparently was interpreted as sabre rattling by Pakistan, which responded by detonating its own nuclear devices. The international community harshly condemned both sides and urged the two new nuclear powers to begin a dialogue, particularly on the unresolved question of Kashmir.
Despite several tentative steps toward rapprochement, armed conflict broke out between India and Pakistan in the high mountains of the Kargil region of Jammu and Kashmir state in May 1999. Eventually, intense international pressure induced the Pakistani government to withdraw its troops to its side of the line of control. Nonetheless, Kashmir continued to be a point of contention, and acts of terrorism conducted by extremists hoping to change Indian policy toward the region grew more common and severe.

48 peaks
A sightless vision of summits in winter for Nashua man
Blind hiker Randy Pierce of Nashua and his guide dog, Quinn, are the subject of "Four More Feet," a documentary film screening at the University of New Hampshire on March 25. (JUSTIN FULLER)
The result is a documentary titled "Four More Feet," which will have its Seacoast premiere in the University of New Hampshire's Memorial Union Building on Monday night at 7 p.m.
The title has multiple meanings: one focusing on the four-legged support of Pierce's dedicated guide dog, Quinn, and a second that is shared as the film, and the journey, progresses.
Sutin said she got much more out of the experience than she was expecting when she began filming in December 2011.
In a word, she described the experience of following Pierce as "humbling." And, she added, audiences seem humbled as well once they've seen the film.
"You immediately reconsider your own abilities when you see someone that has an alleged disability who is so well adapted and manages to continue to do all the things they love seemingly effortlessly," Sutin said.
The key word there is "seemingly." In fact, Pierce's life has been far from effortless.
Shortly after graduating from UNH in 1988, he began losing his vision to a neurological disorder that also confined him to a wheelchair for one year, eight months and 21 days.
Two successful experimental treatments got him out of the chair and on his feet. Friends with the UNH Outdoor Education program then got him out on the mountains.
Last March, Pierce, Quinn and co-hikers Justin Fuller and Kyle Dancuse, another UNH alum, completed their journey. Sutin chronicled it all: three months, 200 miles and 88,000 feet of elevation.
At the beginning of the winter of 2011-12, 46 hikers were on record for summiting New Hampshire's 48 peaks in a single winter. Pierce became the first blind person to accomplish the feat, and Quinn became the first guide dog to do so.
Having a guide dog willing and excited to walk tough terrain came by chance, Pierce said.
"He showed an incredible aptitude for it," Pierce said of Quinn. "Guide dogs are not trained for this kind of thing. Most of the trails in the White Mountains are the type of environment they are trained to avoid."
Throughout the film, Pierce said, Quinn's happiness is in evidence - from his wagging tail to his boundless energy.
In the end, Pierce said, what the pair accomplished first and foremost is "ability awareness versus disability awareness."
That's an issue he speaks about to students all over the state through his charity 2020 VisionQuest, founded in 2010. The goal of the organization is to "inspire people to reach beyond adversity and achieve their highest goals," Pierce said.
His winter hiking journey began as a way to lead by example. His message is about choice.
"The challenge is real, and it has a real impact on every one of us," Pierce said. "The choice of how we respond to that challenge is always ours, and the choice we make will have a bigger influence on our life than any challenge ever could.
"I like to think I'm verification of that theory."
One of his next goals is to summit the 48 peaks in the non-winter seasons. He, and Quinn, already are more than halfway to their goal.
"I hope to be climbing in life for a lot longer still," Pierce said.
Accompanied by "the Mighty" Quinn and Sutin, Pierce will be in attendance at Monday's screening to answer questions after the film.
For a limited time, the DVD will be available for purchase online at www.2020visionquest.org.

Best Buy's sales good for shoppers, terrible for stock
The retailer's shares tank as razor-thin margins result in a 13% profit drop.
Best Buy (BBY) had high hopes for this holiday shopping season. Black Friday sales numbers hinted that Best Buy was a winner, going big on discounts and exclusive in-store deals after a rather lackluster showing last year.
After Tuesday's earnings report for the third quarter, however, Best Buy investors might be getting a lump of coal under the tree. The big-box electronics retailer saw profit slump 13%, predicted weak margins and stuck with its previously conservative sales forecast.
The result was a brutal 10% slide in Best Buy stock in early trading, and that might be only the beginning.
Here are the specifics on Best Buy: The retailer's fiscal-third-quarter profit fell 13% to 42 cents per share, or about $154 million. That sounds like a lot of money, but when you consider it made 54 cents per share, or $217 million, last year -- and that the company raked in higher sales revenue this time around -- you get a disturbing picture.
How can a company sell more but make less profit? Simple: It sacrifices margins just to move merchandise. That's exactly what Best Buy is doing this holiday season -- offering mega deals on electronics but making little profit. And that's after BBY slashed its seasonal work force by half to save on costs, hiring just 15,000 workers for the holidays.
The downward spiral of earnings is set to continue as margins remain meager for the foreseeable future. BBY said in its Tuesday earnings report that it expects profit margins to fall by about one half of a percentage point across the entire fiscal year of 2012. That's not encouraging. Don't expect a revenue boost either, as Best Buy predicted same-store sales to be flat at best and down 3% in a worst-case scenario for 2012.
This is a very disappointing development for investors. Obviously, those who thought Best Buy's earnings would be propped up by holiday sales were let down. However, other headlines have hinted that the rosy holiday retail outlook might have been premature for the entire sector. We learned this morning that retail sales rose less than expected in November as a drop in receipts for food and beverages offset stronger vehicle sales. When people cut back on food and drinks over Thanksgiving, you know there's trouble. Overall retail sales increased a paltry 0.2% during the month, according to the Commerce Department.
For Best Buy, the softness in retail and its ever-shrinking margins will continue to cause the stock to suffer. The Best Buy earnings miss could be only the beginning. But other retail investors need to take notice of this as a warning sign. The race to the bottom on prices this holiday season might entice shoppers, but it will not result in big profits for corporations selling goods at razor-thin margins.
And as November retail sales indicate, even the deal of the century isn't going to prompt an out-of-work family to splurge on a flat-screen TV.

I do not understand how Best Buy has been sacrificing its margins when damned near every product is being sold at list price and the few items that are really on sale are very limited in stock.
I feel that Best Buy has limited choices and unless a person wants a TV, there is little reason to visit a Best Buy store. The TV prices are not all that hot either.
The problem is, All of these stores are not taking Costco seriously!
I will not shop at a store that does not price match Costco for one, Two, they need to be price matching Costco before I shop there.
NOTE TO BUSINESS COMMUNITY: If you think Costco is just a fly by night operation that will never affect you, YOUR WRONG..... AND YOU WILL FAIL IF YOU DO NOT COMPETE!!!

- My night at YoshisGeo57Dined on 8/22/2014I had such a nice and romantic night at Yoshi's will be doing it again on Sep.7 to see the Dramatics trying my best to rekindle the flame with my ex- girlfriend so far so good but this is a nice place to start just let things happen the food was great the music was great all in all it was a nice night.See you on the 7th Thank You for providing a beautiful ambience you can never go wrong with Yoshi'sSpecial Features:
- Yoshi's - Great food and music!SherryhDined on 8/20/2014As always, the food was amazing! We went to see the John Jorgenson Quintet and they were incredible!!! If you have dinner before the show, they give you reserved seats and our seats were fantastic. Do try Yoshi's for the food and one of there wonderful shows. You won't be disappointed.Special Features:
- service and price indigestiblesatyamDined on 8/18/2014My main complaint is the service, which detracted from the whole experience. From the moment we arrived, the servers aggressively pushed us to order more food and drink than we wanted, which was annoying. The server brought our main courses before we had finished our appetizers, so we felt rushed and there was little room at the table for everything. Then one of them asked three times if he could clear a plate that we were not finished with. The food is overpriced and the bill was outrageous for what we ate, and for a meal that is required in order to obtain good seats at a show. Although the food is good and the ambience is lovely, I left with a bad taste in my mouth.
- Not all thatOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/17/2014Martini was sour and tasted like a mix was used. Hamachi starter had too much sauce which smothered the fish, mango and other toppings. Too tart. Rib eye was outstanding, but should offer two sizes: 6 oz and 12 oz, since two six ounce fillets are served. It was a waste, since I was staying in a hotel and couldn't take back leftovers. Expensive for ala carte. Waiter did not explain anything to me, but did to other tables. Probably because I was a solo diner and a woman. It's a music venue first and foremost. Front of house was very helpful.Special Features:
- Love the club, restaurant just okaySalsabyJakeDined on 8/17/2014Yoshi's Oakland has always been a gem in the music scene and the Jack London area - it is a favorite for fine quality jazz and music shows! The restaurant on the other hand is good but not really special. The decor is very nice and the service has improved over the years, but the food itself is medium quality at high prices. And they like you to buy dinner in order to reserve the best seats at the jazz club, a system I don't really approve of. The menu has western items as well as sushi so it can appeal to a wide variety of diners. But prices are quite high and the quality of the food is not the highest of caliber. My soft shell crab was fried and greasy inside. Sushi was fresh but not special. The salad was excellent however. Service okSpecial Features:
- EXCELLENT FOODJAZZERDined on 8/16/2014Wonderful food and ambiance, perfect if you are attending a show afterwards--the combination of sushi followed by hot jazz is not to be missed!Special Features:
- Always a solid experienceADinerVIPDined on 8/16/2014Consistent high quality food, inventive presentation and flavors.Special Features:
- Great TimeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/13/2014Our server was very pleasant. Didn't hover but was attentive. Made sure our seating arrangements for the show were taken care of and reminded us to get our parking tickets validated. Food was very good. We had a group and decided to just sample the various rolls between us. These were very good, but a little pedestrian...... Next time we'll order separately and try something new. But as always, we'll be back and looking forward to a great meal and a great show. Thank You Yoshi's for being a bright spot to us all.Special Features:
- Good, but $$yummersDined on 8/13/2014The food was decent, but a smidge too expensive. We ordered the Japonese roll (Great!) Lobster Tempura roll (meh.) Miso Caesar Salad (A++, would order again) Veggie Tempura (good) and Soy Garlic Edamame (YUMMMM). The food runner accidentally gave our soy-garlic edamame to another table, but our waiter immediately remedied the situation (by getting us a new one) and took it off our bill. Overall pleasant experience, but I was sad I didn't order the scallops after seeing a few orders go by. Thanks, Yoshi!
- Amazing dining experienceNapageoDined on 8/13/2014Yoshis is always a winner. The food is consistently excellent and the service has never disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but Overpriced Japanese FoodWildpops1952Dined on 8/12/2014If you are going to a show, this is a good place to eat as you will have your seats reserved in the club and not have any hassles in waiting on line. Plus, there are not many options in this neighborhood to have a decent meal in a pleasant atmosphere. The downside is that the prices are inflated and portions are on the small side. For a serving of vegetable tempura, one spider roll and one spicy tuna roll, a beer and sparking water, the bill came to $50 before tip--I'd say this is too high by about a third, but this is the tradeoff one must make at times.
- Best Jazz Club and amazing food!SophialynnDined on 8/11/2014Everything was exceptional and I had an amazing time with my international friend from Germany. He was even surprised at this wonderful place. Not even Germany has something special like this restaurant. I will definitely be back!Special Features:
- A special night with frustrationOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014Arrive on time at 8:15p for diner reservations with late show tickets, (which were to be held at will call), told to see box office before taking name or any conciderations for dinner. the box office could not find reservations I brought tickets up on line and told they were for dinner and not the show. Bought new tickets then told my dinner reservations were a no show. Foretunatly I was with a verygrounded lady friend that calmed my nerves with an understanding waitress and a Martini. I will be returing only for reimbursment of duplicate reservations.
- A gemGatesstudiosDined on 8/6/2014Yoshi's is a fine restaurant with great food and service. My experiences have been great. It is difficult to rush out all the food and drinks for the crowd going to the show at 8:00. If I had to wait for something due to the rush, it was complimentary. Highly recommended for both the food and music. If you've never been there, you are missing something.Special Features:
- Food ExcellentRobbobDined on 8/6/2014Went to a pre-concert dinner. Staff was great. Seating was just fine in a small corner. Wait staff was friendly and very attentive. We both had the teriyaki chicken and it was cooked perfect. Would love to dine here again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The very bestJazzmanRube66Dined on 8/5/2014Delicious, wide variety of Japanese cuisine in friendly, authentic atmosphere. Food, wine, service absolutely first rate. Pricey but worth it. This is where you want to go if you want to go first class. And if you've got tickets to Yoshi's jazz show, combining your evening with dinner at the restaurant is the perfect pairing.Special Features:
- Duck at Yoshi's??moragadinerDined on 8/4/2014Although the sushi, sashimi and tempura dishes are all first rate, the duck item is among the best duck dishes I've ever had, anywhere. They cook it perfectly to order -- I like mine rare and my wife likes hers medium, which is exactly how our two dishes were delivered. Along with the squash puree and caramelized cabbage, this dish is so pure, it really sings!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/3/2014Great service and great food. Our server had it down with great advice and a warm and inviting manner. We felt special and really enjoyed our 3 very different meals.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Interesting Menu and TastySWT17Dined on 8/3/2014Due to having tickets for the Shawn Colvin concert, we decided to make our dinner reservations at Yoshi's as well. The restaurant is nicely decorated and all staff were attentive. If we were not visiting from out of the area, we would have returned to try out many of the interesting offerings. We especially loved the Snow Monkey sushi and my husband very much enjoyed the swordfish with mango. The only somewhat disappointing item we had was the brownie dessert (it seemed a bit dry and cold) but it did not overshadow the full experience. If we return to Oakland in the future, we will definitely dine with them again.Special Features:
- Not like it used to begoodwineDined on 8/3/2014Was surprised at the poor presentation of the food. Items used to come on lovely trays or plates. For my two plates they were pedestrian and sort of just plopped on the plates with no little side green decoration or such. Also we were asked the same 2 questions by 2 different servers 2 separate times. We used to be able to choose our table for show if eating before. Now they choose for you. A disappointment as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't miss it!RobDeRosisDined on 8/2/2014If you're in Bay Area and you love music and good food, this is a must!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- No Brussel sproutsIheartyoshisDined on 8/2/2014I frequent this restaurant often. They changed the menu Saturday so a couple of my favorite items, one being Brussel sprouts was not on the menu. Overall,I love Yoshis Oakland.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Date NightOaklandfoodieDined on 8/2/2014This place has become an Oakland mainstay. Always classy, always a great atmosphere! The food is awesome, the drinks hit their mark as well! My wife loves when I take her there, which is always a plus. Yoshi's Oakland keep up the good work!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was goodLucy7083VIPDined on 8/2/2014But the noise level was so loud that it was an unpleasant dining experience. Had to shout at each other.
- DiningOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/1/2014Although I love going to the Jazz cafe, the restuarant itself is way over priced for the quality of food and portion sizes! I will never order dinner there again.
- foodie2Dined on 8/1/2014We enjoyed the freshness of the black cod. I was disappointed restaurant was sold out of asparagus at 7pm. Our waiter Troy/Todd was attentive and made sure we had enough time to enjoy dinner before our show at 8pmSpecial Features:
- Late arrivalDinnerb4concertDined on 8/1/2014I arrived late for my dinner; however, the resturaunt staff was accomodating and saved my reservation. I did not enjoy my order of vegetable tempura. I suspect that the remainder of the menu was decent. The person that I arrived with ordered and meal and it was late, incomplete and cold. I don't know if that was a consequence of my being tardy or a mix-up in the kitchen. Thanks.Special Features:
- NEVER DISPLEASED!LifesJourneyDined on 7/30/2014as an entertainer at Yoshi's, coming to support local talent, it's a REFRESHING JOURNEY EVERYTIME I GET HERE, IT'S LIKE COMING HOME TO EXTENDED FAMILY!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun!travel55freeDined on 7/28/2014Sitting on the floor without shoes was fun! The food was excellent, the service superb and atmosphere fun!! Loved the entire experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- pickyeaterDined on 7/28/2014We eat there just because we had Jazz show tickets. They reserve good seats for the diners who are going the show. Over the years, the restaurant became just expensive Cal-Japanese cuisine. Fish quality is not so great so I stick to safer choices like maki sushi.
- Good Experiencesunnyside1VIPDined on 7/28/2014We had not eaten in this restaurant in quite a few years. The food has really gotten a lot better than we remember it. The waiter was very good at really "spot on" suggestions. It appears as if the kitchen gets a bit backed up though, so I would suggest you order your entree at the time you order your appetizer if you are going to an 8:00 show at the Jazz club. Overall very nice experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Too AmericanizedJoelDined on 7/28/2014Were it not for the entertainment, I would not go to this restaurant. I've been to an excellent Japanese restaurant and this could not compare to that. It had a very limited, Americanized menu. I had to do a process of elimination to finally select my dinner.
- Amazing jazz, drinks and foodADinerVIPDined on 7/27/2014Pretty much a flawless experience. Try the Music to My Ears cocktail. Any night is a great night at Yoshi's!Special Features:
- another great show at YoshisnoneDined on 7/27/2014We saw Ron Carter Trio. Food was great - as always - and getting these seats meant we had a good place to listen to the music. Sushi was fresh, generous. Kids enjoyed - and our table was half vegetarian and also remarked a the many menu items and quality.Special Features:

- Overdue return to Yoshi's7omrDined on 7/26/2014Haven't been to Yoshi's for a few years, but have been a customer since the 90s. This visit reminded me that Yoshi's is truly one of the top Sushi restaurants in the Bay Area. We shared a perfectly prepared grilled salmon, as well as some sushi. The fish ranks with the highest quality I have had in any restaurant and expertly prepared. We also had the not very Japanese spinach, bacon and blue cheese salad. Also, one of the best I have had. Don't know if it was a particularly on night or what, but the food struck me as the top of their game. Be forewarned that it is not cheap, but it is delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- VIP TreatmentfoodiesDined on 7/25/2014We started of with a wonderful waiter who guided us through the menu and made is feel we were his on table. His attention and aling with a great personality made our first time at Yoshi's exceptional. Ended with satisfied tummies and wonderful music. You guys made us all feel like VIP's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Best credit cards for overseas spending
Traveling abroad this summer? Here are the best cards to have in your wallet.
Traveling abroad can be an eye-opening experience: the culture, the food, the architecture ... the credit card bill! Using a credit card when traveling can be a very convenient and useful practice, however, despite advances in international payment processing speed and security, many American banks still charge foreign transaction fees of 3% to 5% for purchases made outside the United States.
If you're planning your next trip overseas, the cards on this list can save you a significant amount of cash, since none of these cards charge a foreign transaction fee.
Capital One Venture Card
Capital One doesn't charge foreign transaction fees on any of its credit cards. That makes this bank's entire lineup of cash back cards and no annual fee accounts available for overseas use at no extra charge. If you prefer tracking down deals on discount booking sites instead of building status with a single airline or hotel chain, the Venture Card offers a consistent, 2% rebate good toward "erasing" travel purchases regardless of brand. With consistent use, you can earn much more per year in rebates than the cost of this card's modest annual fee.
Chase Sapphire Preferred
Chase's flagship rewards credit card ties your spending into the bank's Ultimate Rewards program, doubling points for travel and dining purchases while tripling points on airline tickets bought through the bank's booking system. Comprehensive roadside assistance and "global lifeline" benefits can help you survive major problems away from home. Chase waives this card's moderate annual fee for the first year, while adding a 7% bonus reward dividend on your account's anniversary date. Although Chase offers other travel rewards cards with no foreign transaction fees, the Chase Sapphire Preferred® card provides the most flexibility for rewards redemption throughout the year.
Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Card
The Citi® Hilton HHonors™ Reserve Card lets Hilton HHonors members enjoy automatic Gold status and all of its associated perks. Complimentary internet access, late checkout privileges, and space-available upgrades can shave hundreds of dollars from your annual travel budget. Hilton's 10 hotel brands include everything from roadside lodges to luxury resorts, making it easy to earn and redeem bonus points. In addition to generous bonus reward point offers, you can cut down trip planning time with help from Visa Signature's concierge and dining programs. Plus, with an embedded EMV chip, you'll enjoy added security and convenience when traveling in Europe.
PenFed Platinum Rewards Visa
Pentagon Federal designed this card with military families in mind, but the Platinum Rewards Visa makes sense for anyone who really likes to hit the road. PenFed rebates a full 5% of your purchase price whenever you pay for gas at the pump. With no annual fee, no foreign transaction fee, and some strong travel insurance benefits, this card offers excellent value if you only make occasional trips outside the country. A relatively low variable APR and money-saving balance transfer offers make this a great addition to your portfolio.
American Express Platinum Card
Although the American Express Platinum Card's annual fee could give you some sticker shock, you'll enjoy some significant benefits when you charge reimbursable business expenses to this premium charge card. AmEx's online tools can easily separate your work-related charges from your personal purchases, although you'll earn Membership Rewards points on all your transactions. You'll gain access to an extensive network of airport lounges, regardless of the carrier you're flying or the status you've earned. Baggage credits can give you an excuse to bring even more souvenirs home to your family, while AmEx's expert travel advisers and personal concierges can help inject exciting side excursions into an otherwise boring business trip.
Discover it Card
Discover consistently wins awards for customer service and fraud detection, two important concerns for overseas travelers. Over the years, customers and competitors have noted that fewer merchants accept Discover outside the United States, compared to Visa and MasterCard. However, Discover's partnerships with JCB and China UnionPay have expanded the brand's footprint throughout Asia. Strong outreach campaigns have likewise brought Discover to more merchants in major cities across Europe and South America. With a consistent cash back rebate, some compelling quarterly bonus opportunities, and a growing acceptance rate outside the United States, Discover it™ could win its way into your travel wallet.
Regardless of which no-foreign-transaction-fee credit card you choose, you can maximize your travel experience by following a few key suggestions. First, concentrate your overseas expenses on a single card to maximize your card's fraud protection program. A mix of domestic and foreign charges on the same account while you're traveling can trigger a "false positive" and temporarily suspend your purchasing privileges.
Smart Spending on the go: Get our app for Android or iPhone
Next, alert your bank of your itinerary in advance, so they can watch for potential fraudulent activity. A "skimmer" in Europe can quickly sell your card's details to accomplices back in the U.S. If your bank knows where you're really at, they can defend you from abuse. Finally, carry a backup credit card from another issuer with you, but not in with your primary card. That way, if you're pickpocketed or if your wallet gets damaged, you can still make purchases while waiting for your primary card's replacement.

BEECHER | Beecher righthander Zach Aring wasn't perfect Wednesday against River Valley Conference foe Illinois Lutheran, but the junior was unhittable.
Aring tossed a no-hitter and fanned 17 Chargers in Beecher's 4-0 home victory over Lutheran on senior day with the only blemishes being nine walks, some due to a small strike zone.
"I felt like some of those were strikes, but you can't do much about it," he said. "The ump has his own strike zone, and you've got to just adjust to it and work through it."
Indeed, Aring adjusted to it by getting the strikeouts and allowed just one base runner to get to third base. He had three ground ball outs, while rightfielder Justice DeRouin made a running catch on a sinking liner off the bat of Eric Dorn in the fifth inning.
"No matter what happens, you keep throwing strikes," said Aring, who improved his mark to 8-1. "When you have a team behind you, just know that they're there 100 percent. If it's hit to them, they'll make the play. And for offense, you gotta know they have your back."
Beecher coach Brandon DuBois said Aring battled.
"He can get around the guys he walks because he's got that ability to strike guys out," he said. "He's thrown the ball well all year."
In addition, Beecher (17-7, 11-1) wrapped up RVC championship with the win over Lutheran (18-6, 10-2).
It was Aring's second no-hitter on the season after throwing a five-inning gem against St. Francis De Sales.
Beecher got all the runs it would need in the first inning when it took advantage of some wildness by Lutheran freshman starter Grant Farmer.
Two walks and a single by DeRouin loaded the bases before Farmer walked Giovanni Schiavone for the first run. Mike Pignatiello followed with a two-run single to make it 3-0.
"I don't know if it was jitters," Lutheran coach Mark Kjenstad said. "(Grant) struggled to find the strike zone the first few batters, and of course it hurt him. I knew we were going to have trouble scoring some runs off Zach, so those three first-inning runs were big."
Farmer finally go out of the jam and allowed just one more run on four hits before leaving with two outs in the sixth.
"Grant settled in and pitched a real good game," Kjenstad said. "I think he showed us why he got the start."

INSPECTING THE DAMAGES of an automobile accident on I Hestand of Campus Police. Vest's wife was involved in the accident Edvalson are Dee Vest of Business Affairs, and Dct. Lt. David yesterday afternoon. (The Signpost photo: Robecn Gillcm) Weber's endowment returns increases as others decrease By Jill Titensor Managing Editor jj Endowment returns shrunk nationwide for fiscal year 2 1988. Weber State College, however, was an exception. "We've been very lucky," said Randy Harris, WSC's Controller he oversees accounting operations for the college. He said some of the big schools back East, such as Harvard, Cornell, andYale, have had a decrease in returns from endowments. In spite of a decrease, these big schools still have billions of dollars in returns. "It doesn't take much for them to turn the average around," Harris said even if smaller schools show an increase. There are several types of endowments. Harris described two in particular the true endowment and the quasi-cndowment.The true endowment includes funds made available to the college to invest for the purpose of producing income. The principal is nonexpendable, and the donor stipulates in what manner the interest is used, he said. A quasi-endowment also involves a donation. It differs from a true endowment in that the original amount, as well as the interest, is available for use by the college. Also, the college has the legal right to determine its usage for scholarships, building, grounds improvement or whatever. However, Harris said that in the interest of good relations, if the donor has any particular wishes for the use of those funds, Weber State usually honors thedonor's requests. (see WEBER on page 3) Endowments okay despite crash of 87 (CPS) Campus endowments those collections of ' investments that earn money that colleges use for buildings, scholarships and even salaries grew by only 1 .3 percent in the 1988 fiscal year, far less than the previous year's 13.9 return, a nationwide accounting released Feb. 13 figured. B ut the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) says that's not bad, considering that the October 1987, stock market crash happened in the middle of the period. NACUBO's annual endowment study also found the value of the investments of the 315 schools it surveyed rose to a collective S49.5 billion during fiscal year 1988, which began July 1 , 1987 and ended June 30, 1988. That's up almost S2 billion from fiscal year 1987's S47.9 billion. Such numbers are important because endowment (see ENDOWMENT on page 3) Cars collide on Edvalson By Jill Titensor Managing Editor Two cars collided at the intersection of Edvalson and parking lot A-l yesterday about 3:15 p.m. The accident involved a white Honda Accord driven by Dora Mecham, 65, of 1294 Hudson, and a silver Ford Bronco II driven by Donna Vest, 60, of 3624 Ml Ogden Dr. According to Campus Police Officer Kent T. Kiernan, Mecham said she was attempting to stop at the stop sign before leaving the lot when her brakes failed. Her car continued into the westbound lane of traffic and was struck by Vest's vehicle. There were no eyewitnesses around when police arrived. After reconstructing the accident, police determined the point of impact to be in the middle of the crosswalk located at that intersection. Apparently, the Honda's right-front fender caught the left-front fender of the Bronco. Both vehicles then slid about 20 yards, separated and halted. Jodcne Goude, a passerby from out of town noticed the wreck, although she did not see the accident take place. "I just saw that they needed assistance, so I called 911," she said. Mecham was transported to McKay-Dee Hospital by ambulance. She sustained minor injuries including bruised ribs and an injury to her right leg, but there were no broken bones. It did not appear that Vest was speeding, and both women were wearing seat belts, Kiernan said. Police estimated that both vehicles were totalled. Mecham said she just made her last car payment yesterday morning. WSC Moslems support death sentence By Erie Presley Contributing Writer Some Moslem students at Weber State are upset about Salmon Rushdie's book "Satanic Verses." Qahtan Alarbeed, a 21-year-old junior from Jordan majoring in electronic engineering technology, said that Salmon Rushdie has offended his religion and should be punished. "If Salmon Rushdie walked in here, we would kill him," he said. "We do believe in freedom of speech! But Rushdie abused that right." -- Mansuor A., WSC student Alarbeed was not alone in his feelings for Rushdie. Mansuor A., a junior from Kuwait, also said that Rushdie should die. "I'll kill the bastard," he said. "He offended my prophet" When asked about freedom of speech , both men said that they support freedom of speech, but that everything has its limits.

|Weber State College
|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

I have seen a number of new studies on the dangers of epicardial fat (fat around the heart). This new study links epicardial fat to the presence and severity of heart disease.
As to reducing it, diet works okay, but exercise works substantially better.
This matches up with another study I found. It shows a reduced waist circumference is linked to better health but primarily if it is matched with exercise. In other words, if you get a lean waist by diet, it will improve your health some, but it you get a lean waist via exercise than it seems to be really beneficial.
I recommend post-dinner exercise for weight loss.

Should We Change Constitution So Obama Can Run for Third Term?

Many Americans see the United States Constitution as being a document under assault, particularly as a result of the policies of the current administration.
But, while asking questions at the Inauguration ceremony on Monday, MRCTV confirmed that if many of Barack Obama's supporters had their way, they would alter the nation's founding document so that their beloved president could run for a 3rd and possibly 4th, 5th and 6th term.

The 2-year-old boy who was shot in the head while his sibling played with a loaded gun that had not been secured inside their home is expected to survive, but local gun safety advocates say dangerous accidents like this one are easily prevented.
Jacob Xiong is still recovering, which is not believed to be life-threatening at this point.
Investigators say they believe one of Xiong's older brothers found the handgun in an unlocked cabinet and wrongly assumed that it was not loaded. While the boy was playing with the gun, it fired and struck the tot.
"Yet another reminder -- if you have a firearm in your home, secure it," said Howie Padilla, of the St. Paul Police Department. "It's not only protection for you. It's protection for your loved ones."
No adults were home at the time. The four boys -- ages 2, 7, 9 and 10 -- were being babysat by the victim's 16-year-old sister.
Investigators found a number of other guns inside the home, but they declined to specify how many or whether they were locked up. Under state law, anyone who leaves a loaded weapon where they know -- or should know -- that a child could find it can be charged with a gross misdemeanor; however, advocates say that law is rarely enforced.
"No one wants to see a child or adult lose their life in a shooting like this, but it's equally hard to put a parent in prison after something like this happens," explained Leroy Duncan, of PROTECT Minnesota.
PROTECT Minnesota educates parents about the importance of keeping guns away from kids. In fact, one of their studies found half of boys between 8 and 12 who found a real handgun couldn't tell if it was a toy. Another study found that nearly a third of all accidental shooting deaths could have been prevented by safety devices like gun locks and load indicators.
"They can be prevented by not purchasing a firearm in the first place," Duncan explained. "They can be prevented by locking up an unloaded weapon and then locking up the ammunition separately, and making sure that ammunition is nowhere near a gun," suggested Duncan.
According to the Minnesota Safety Council, most unintentional firearm shootings among children occur when they are unsupervised and out of school.
St. Paul Police plan to turn the case over to the Ramsey County and city attorneys' offices to figure out if any charges will be filed.

Highlighting recent vigilant community policing efforts to help catch while commiting burglaries in Pacific Palisades, the announced the West L.A. Division will be receiving 17 additional police officers.
In a press conference Tuesday morning at , Captain Evangelyn Nathan said LAPD Chief Charlie Beck is bonusing the West L.A. Division with the additional officers without losing any staff.
"The message today is when communty spirit and a watchful eye are prevelant, the criminals don't win, and that's what we want," Nathan said. Specifics on potential shift changes from the arrival of new officers for Palisades or other West L.A. neighborhoods were not outlined.
On Aug. 11 police arrested , 44 and a registered sex offender from Nevada, after he allegedly pried open the rear door to a home in the 600 block of Alma Real Drive, activated the alarm and ransacked the residence.
On Aug. 15 police arrested after they reportedly removed louvered slats from a rear window to a residence in the 900 block of Enchanted Way and took jewelry and wine. Police said a witness saw two men leaving an Enchanted Way residence and alerted officers. A helicopter reportedly tracked the vehicle of Jerry and Ferdman where police later arrested them on Sunset Boulevard.
Nathan showed the booking photos of the three alleged burglars at the press conference.
"We have an opportunity to force multiply our law enforcement efforts, and it starts with us, the residents in the community," said Amy Kalp, public safety advisor to the Pacific Palisades Community Council, pointing to more than a dozen West L.A. Division officers standing behind her. "As far as I'm concerned, our community and all the communities in West L.A. are in excellent hands because of them."
Senior Lead Officer Michael Moore added that residents should remember if they see something in the community, don't hesitate and get the police involved.
"Don't overthink it," he said. "Just get the police involved. Too many times it's so easy to talk yourself out of making that phone call, and when you talk yourself out of making that phone call, that's the criminal that commits a crime and gets away with it."

Type 2 Diabetes: Living With the Disease (cont.)
How medicine helps manage diabetes
Some people with type 2 diabetes need pills (oral medicines) to help their bodies make insulin, decrease insulin resistance, or slow down how quickly their bodies absorb carbohydrate.
You may take no medicine, one medicine, or a few medicines. Some people need to take medicine for a short time, while others always need to take medicine. How much medicine you need depends on how well you can keep your blood sugar within your target range. You may need more medicine over time, even if you have good control of your blood sugar.
Taking two or more medicines may work better to lower your blood sugar level than taking one medicine alone. Also, taking two or more medicines may mean fewer side effects if you are taking a lower dose of each.
Medicine choices
You may also need to take:
Managing your medicines
Medicines can help you manage your diabetes and other health problems, but only if you take them correctly. It can be hard to keep track of when and how to take your medicine, especially if you are taking more than one. Maybe you aren't sure why you are taking a medicine or if it is working. Or you might have trouble paying for your medicine. For help, see:

New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira was out of Wednesday's lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays after having fluid drained from his sore left knee.
The Yankees don't believe Teixeira will miss Thursday's game in Minnesota, according to manager Joe Girardi.
Teixeira leads the Yankees with 15 home runs but has missed 21 games this season.
Teixeira sat out two weeks in April with a hamstring injury after spending most of last year on the disabled list.

Our first round of Super Lap Battle qualifying events took place at Firebird International Raceway in an unexpectedly cool Ari-zona May weekend. Our host Jason Boles and the NASA Arizona crew pulled out all the stops to bring out the best in Arizona road racers. For those who are unfamiliar with how our Super Lap Battle qualifying rounds work here's a little background info.
All of our qualifying rounds are held in conjunction with a NASA High Performance Driving Event (HPDE) weekend. There are four levels in the NASA HPDE program, as well as the Time Trial group. HPDE levels one and two are for beginners. Level three is the intermediate group. Level four and Time Trial are for advanced drivers. Since we're looking for the best of the best to be eligible to compete for a spot at our Finals, you have to be in level four Time Trial. For all those beginners out there striving to compete at our Finals, putting your time into the HPDE program is the only way to get into this level. For this year's event, we invited some teams from our past events to shake things up for the locals; these teams with special invites fell under the seeded category.
Tage Evanson, driving his EG K24-powered Civic, ran impressive times throughout the day and managed to clock the third fastest time in qualifying. His best time of the day (1:05.463 seconds) managed to outshine the Cobb team's Nissan R35 GTR. JC Meynet, piloting the Harman Motive Subaru STI, also tore up the track posting a respectable 1:07.519 on Yokohama Advan Neova tires, which run a 180 UTQG tread wear.
Stay tuned for our next qualifying round at Willow Springs July 12 and 13. Rumor has it that the Tomei/Cusco WRX will be making its first U.S. appearance in the Unlimited class as it plans to take over the current track record.
