It was the day after the Hughes family�s vacation, and Scott and Lisa Hughes and their sons were relaxing in their Derwood home.
Their oldest child, Jake, who is about to begin eighth grade at Shady Grove Middle School, paced around the living room.
His principal, Edward Owusu, was on his way.
Jake said he was nervous — none of his principals had ever visited him at home.
But soon after arriving, Owusu had Jake and his brother Jimmy laughing.
�A Redskins jersey, instead of the Ravens? Really, Jimmy?� he joked.
Jake hadn�t done anything wrong; Owusu was just there to talk.
To reach out to parents, discuss student goals, and build a trusting relationship between the school and its families, Owusu said he, his counselors and teachers will go to about 40 homes before the first day of school, Aug. 27.
Most of the time, a principal visits a home because a student�s in trouble. Owusu said he visits homes so everyone is on the same page before school starts.
It�s his fourth year at the school and his fourth year doing the visits, and he said he has found it to be worthwhile.
�We talk about going beyond the bake sale, in trying to coax parents into the building,� Owusu said. �Why not try to step out of the building, and into the neighborhoods? It is such an easy way to strengthen the relationships and build on things.�
Montgomery County Public Schools does not have a formal practice for home visits during the summer, although principals are free to do them if they want, said Kathy C. Brake, a director of school performance.
The school system doesn�t track how many principals do summer visits, Brake said, adding she conducted home visits when she was a principal.
�I wanted parents to know that there was a strong school-home partnership,� she said. �I wanted to make sure they knew I was available to support them in any way possible, and invested in their child.�
At Shady Grove Middle School, counselors and teachers select families they would like to meet — for many different reasons, and not just because of behavior, academic or communication problems, Owusu said. He visits both succeeding and struggling students.
Although most families are welcoming offer, Owusu said that some families to decline the offer — a decision he said he is respectful of.
The visits provide an opportunity for staff to build relationships with parents who aren�t as comfortable in the school, such as immigrant or non-English-speaking families, Owusu said.
The demographics at the school are similar to that in the county, except Shady Grove Middle has a higher Hispanic population, with 33.6 percent Hispanic students, 26 percent white students, 20.7 percent black students, 14.9 percent Asian students and less than 5 percent of other races. The school�s low-income population is slightly higher than the county average, at 35.1 percent, or about 200 of the school�s 569 students last school year.
Owusu�s parents are from Ghana, so he understands the cultural barriers that can prevent parents from stepping into a school.
�In their home countries, you don�t go to the school,� he said.
It allows teachers, such as math department head Laura Schrader, to see and better understand the family�s culture, and the home environment, she said.
�It sends the message that you care enough to do it,� Schrader said.
Teachers must find hours during summer prep days to make the visits, as they don�t get paid overtime for it, Owusu said.
Because Scott Hughes works at Jake�s school in computer support, and Lisa Hughes is a teacher, the family is tied into the school system.
Still, they used the chance to review Jake�s grades, test scores, his upcoming transition into high school and the Advanced Placement courses he can take.
Owusu said he takes families� suggestions and concerns from the visits back to teachers.
For students such as Jake, the concerns might be smaller, such as remembering to place his name on a test, or organizing his backpack.
But they still matter, Owusu said.
�Basically, we just want you to do your best,� Owusu told Jake, who sat on his family�s couch, tapping his bare feet on the floor during the Aug. 3 visit. �If you�re struggling, let us know.�
Before school starts, Owusu will get to six or seven more homes.
He will send an automated phone call to the families, letting them know he or his staff would be in the area.
The Hughes family said they would recommend the visit to others.
�The nice thing about it is it�s in your house, so there are no barriers,� Lisa Hughes said.

My husband is a soup fiend, so I made this. I have always HATED soup, but I tried this and was really surprised. It has the best flavor. I did add more garlic and onions, potato, and used beef boullion cubes since I didn't have the can broth. Also, I used the end of some beef I had on the bone, and added it right in with the beef as it simmered. I simmered it 3 hours prior so it would be tender. I really think doing that along with using the beef bone is what made it so delicious. My husband had 3 bowls! And my 15 month old even loved it.
Omit the pasta, it soaks up too much of the liquid, and there's not much of that. I'd make it again but double the spices, including garlic, and add another can of beef stock for more liquid.

Excellent. I left out the cayenne pepper, mushrooms and pasta. I used fresh carrots and potatoes chopped and canned beans, peas, and corn. Very tasty. Will definitely make again.
Perfectly acceptable beef vegetable soup. I wouldn't call it "spicy" by any stretch of the imagination. I doubled the cayenne and it still wasn't "spicy", but was nice and tasty. I cooked it all day in the crockpot after browning the meat, onion, garlic and celery in a pan, and it was delicious. The meat was very tender. I used two cans of tomato sauce and a big box of beef broth in place of water because we like our soup thick. Substituted a diced potato for the pasta as another reviewed suggested. I'll certainly make this one again. Everyone enjoyed it.
This was a great winter soup for my kids and husband. I used what was on hand; 2 1/2 pds pot roast, doubling the beef broth and stewed tomatoes (used italian spiced, which added to the flavor). I added two fresh zuchinis, 1 pound fresh carrots, and fresh mushrooms and celery with frozen corn. I only had organo and and basil, also added a few dashes of paprika. Everone loved it, including me!!!
I exchaged the pasta for potatoes and added a cup of V-8 juice to make more liquid. Needed salt and pepper as well. Will make again. I made a double recipe and am trying freezing the soup in three cup containers for future cold winter days.
This is really very good and tasty! I like foods with a little spice but not too much, this is perfect. I would make one change, do not put the pasta into the soup/stew it takes over the dish and soaks up the juice. I would recommend cooking it on the side.
I used a beef soup bone & water, no canned broth. Added bay leaf, 1 Tblsp barley, about 5 cloves garlic, sliced yellow zucchini, FRESH basil, fresh cilantro, in place of parsley; sauteed onion, garlic, zucchini in EVOO before adding to pot. This cooked for several hours. Used a potato, rather than pasta. This did not seem at all "spicy," though, so I added about 5 shakes of chili pepper flakes. Also needs salt and fresh ground pepper. When soup was done, I stirred in the chopped fresh cilantro. VERY good soup, thanks!

Respite Services
Respite is temporary relief for caregivers and families. It is a short-term, temporary break for the primary caregiver of children needing constant care to enable the primary caregiver to continue giving quality care after the break. Respite care is vitally important in preventing parental burnout, maintaining the integrity of the nuclear family, and preventing emergencies which threaten the family structure.
Respite is essential to maintaining quality of life for families and is often referred to as the gift of time. Respite gives relief to families and caregivers from the extraordinary and intensive demands of providing ongoing care. It helps keep families together and keeps them healthier, happier, and more productive by assisting them in finding time to get away and reduce stress related to constant care giving.
Parents of a child with a disability can experience isolation, frustration, and depression when they cannot get an occasional break from constant care giving. Families who have children with special health /emotional needs need time away to refresh and re-energize or take care of personal business. By providing respite care, stress will be reduced, and families will be more likely to continue to care for their children with disabilities.
Planned Respite
Planned respite is a model program that provides planned respite services to families of children identified as seriously emotionally disturbed or dually-diagnosed (emotionally disturbed and mentally retarded). Children must be between the ages of 2-17.
Respite consultants provide short-term respite, work with the family to identify, and train long-range respite resources.
Individualized Family Respite Plans are developed with the family and may include short-term direct respite care by staff, identification of possible respite resources, determination of child learning characteristics, and behavior patterns that interfere with the family's ability to secure respite. Respite consultants enable the family to identify and train their own respite provider and/or develop community based respite resources, and the consultants will work with families to help them use the respite resources in the most effective manner.
TDMH funds eight Planned Respite programs across the state:
Memphis (907)353-5440, ext.367
Jackson (731) 664-2111, ext.24
Murfreesboro (615) 890-4622, ext.16
Nashville (615) 460-4223 or 428-5624
Crossville (931) 484-8020, ext.28
Chattanooga (423) 634-8884, ext.1146
Knoxville/Oak Ridge (865) 482-1076, ext.1159
Tri-Cities area (423) 232-2719
Memphis Respite Voucher Program
This program has been established to assist families in Shelby County in the cost of respite services. Families must have children from birth to age 18, who have a serious emotional disturbance or a developmental disability, and be a resident of Memphis/Shelby County. This respite subsidy program is run through the TN Respite Coalition, a statewide respite networking advocacy body.
For further information, or to access this program, please contact (901) 522-0090.
Regional Respite Voucher Program
This program has been established to assist families with the cost of respite services. Families must have children from birth to age 18 years who have a serious emotional disturbance or a developmental disability. Available statewide, excluding Shelby County which has the Memphis Respite Voucher Program, this respite subsidy program is run through the TN Respite Coalition, a statewide respite networking advocacy body. Funding enables families who are eligible for this program to pay for respite services, under Policies and Procedures developed by the Tennessee Respite Coalition. Regional respite entities handle referrals for this respite subsidy.
The Tennessee Respite Coalition
The Tennessee Respite Coalition is a statewide respite advocacy and networking organization, which advocates for increased access to and availability of lifespan respite services in Tennessee. Contact the coordinator at: 1-888-579-3754 or www.tnrespite.org

Store uncooked, dry pasta in your cupboard. Egg pastas can be stored for up to one year, non-egg pastas for two years. Keep pasta in a cool, dry place. Follow the "first-in, first-out" rule: Use up packages you've had the longest before opening new packages.
Cooked Pasta
Refrigerate cooked pasta in an airtight container for three to five days. You may add a little oil (1-2 teaspoons for each pound of cooked pasta) to help keep the pasta from sticking together. Pasta will continue to absorb flavors and oils from sauces, so unless that is your goal, store cooked pasta separately from sauce.
Freezing Pasta
The best pasta shapes for freezing are those that are used in baked recipes, such as lasagne, jumbo shells, ziti and manicotti. You'll have better results if you prepare the recipe and freeze it before baking. To bake, thaw the dish to room temperature and bake according to directions.

Let $U$ be an open convex set in a locally convex space $X$, and let $f : U \to [0,1]$ be a log-concave function on $U$ (i.e., bounded and real-valued). Under what conditions does $f$ have a continuous extension to the closure $\overline U$?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
MathOverflow is a question and answer site for professional mathematicians. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I do not see how $\log$-concavity should imply any form of continuity. For instance, if $\|\cdot\|$ is any semi-norm on the locally convex space $X$ then $f(x) = e^{-\|x\|}$ will be bounded and $\log$-concave but it will only be continuous if the semi-norm is continuous.
What you really want in order to be able to extend $f$ to the boundary of $U$ is uniform continuity and for that the fact that $f$ is $\log$-concave may help but is certainly not sufficient.

Bauer NEXUS 1000 Grip Senior Composite Hockey Stick
5 / 5 Stars
Write a Review
(3) review(s) - (4.7/5)
Clearance Price: $99.00
Industry-leading single molding process ensures product and performance consistency. By removing excess material like overlapping layers, resin and foam waste, the balance of the stick is improved and overall weight is reduced. This results in easier stick loading and improved energy transfer with every shot.
Bauer TeXtreme Technology
Exclusive to Bauer hockey, TeXtreme is an ulta lightweight and stronger carbon fiber. With a 20% lighter composition than conventional carbon composites, it reduces weight without sacrificing strength.
Power Core 3 Blade
The Power Core 3 blade is comprised of the Power Core energy absorbent core maximizes power and puck `feel.` While the lightweight Aero Foam II heal(same heal used in the Vapor APX) improves balance and core stability for increase in accuracy.
Nexus Tru-Mid Flex Technology
The Nexus Tru-Mid Flex profile has been engineered to provide players with a more natural release. With a softer handle and hosel areas it allows for a more flexion and, when combined with a stiff middle shaft section, it can deliver a powerful blast with a natural quick release.
Nexus Power Shaft
The square double concave tape is thicker in the hosel area to work in coordination with the nexus Tru-Mid kick to maximize shaft deflection during powerful shots to optimize energy transfer while keeping the blade aligned for accuracy.
|Great Stick by Conor from Shrewsbury , Massachusetts
I found that overall the stick was very well balanced. Im a huge fan of how wherever your bottom hand is, thats where the flex point is. It makes for effortless use and a killer release. Best Bauer stick for my game style and Id suggest it to anyone looking to get the most out of their game.
|bauer nexus 1000 sr by Aidan from Quincy , MA
Stick performs well and adds to your shot through the mid flex.
|nexus by Jeremy from Orlando, FL
Best stick Ive ever used. I usually dont buy into the gimmicks they try to sell you on top of the line sticks, but this one I really got the most of my shots and passes. Handling the puck felt really nice as well. Im waiting to get my hands on another, just wish they werent so expensive still!

First of all I think the EMTs and the people who man the ambulances are wonderful heroes. Having said that, I want you to know that my beef is not with these special individuals.
I think the citizens of Fort Wayne should be aware that sending in your $59 a year that does not help you much. Several years ago my mother was taken to the hospital with a heart attack. She died the next morning. Even though she had the $59 membership, I still had to pay over $3,000 for that run.
I also was taken to the hospital by TRAA. I also had the $59 membership. My bill was over $2,000. They allowed me to make payments, assuring me that I would never have to pay interest. This year in November or December I was taken to the hospital. I received my bill, and guess what? I was charged interest. Really,
interest on an ambulance bill? Even though I have never missed a payment.
What I don't understand is that for many years the Fort Wayne Police manned the ambulances and did an excellent job. Never was there a charge. So why is the ambulance service of TRAA charging so much, and why are they allowed to charge interest?
I think it is a shame to do this to us poor old people who need help. I understand it is necessary to pay people who man the station and do the job. But the police did it for free.
Do you think it's time to rethink giving TRAA the contract and think about the Fort Wayne Police who are already on the street?

Since 1947
Inside: One white and wintry Christmas Eve in a village, long ago, A young child took a journey, leaving footprints in the snow. Clutched within her tiny hand she carried a small tattered heart, Fashioned from some scraps of cloth, wrapped in the charm of childlike art. A manger scene of wood and straw was the child's destination. Her only Christmas wish, to join Christ's birthday celebration. She placed her precious handmade gift upon the straw with care, And before she turned to leave, whispered a simple prayer. The villagers who stood nearby recall that night with awe, Retelling every detail of the miracle they saw…A second set of footprints appeared next to the girl's own. They seemed to walk right by her side, to see her safely home. But there's no mystery in the presence of this unseen Friend—For once God's touched your heart, you'll never walk alone again. Wishing you the timeless gift of God's love, the priceless blessing of His presence.
Merry Christmas
The loving warmth of this heartfelt poem is sure to touch your friends and loved ones. The story begins with a young girl making her way to a manger scene to give her special homemade gift to baby Jesus: a tattered heart. This endearing message, accompanied by your gracious Christmas wish of God's love and His holy presence, will be read again and again.

On the Job: The Lemonade Girl
Now that we're one day shy of the first day of Fall, I'm getting around to sharing some of the photos I made this Summer — and this is one of my favorites: Vivienne Harr, an 8-year-old Fairfax girl who set up a lemonade stand in a local park and with the help of her social media savvy dad, Eric Harr, has raised more than $30,000 (and counting) to combat child slavery.
Vivienne has drawn plenty of media attention. She's as cute as they come, her organic mint-infused lemonade is tart and tasty, and her story is a compelling one: A photograph of two Nepalese children carrying heavy slabs of rock, taken by Marin photographer Lisa Kristine in her book Slavery, inspired young Vivienne to do something. She launched a web site (makeastandlemonade.com), opened her stand in Doc Edgar Park in Fairfax and set a goal of taking in $150,000 to be donated to Not For Sale, a anti-slavery organization. (How terrible is it that as this point of human history there is even a need for an "anti-slavery" group?)
Vivienne is still out there at the park in Fairfax if you want to donate (or you can skip the lemonade and use your credit card on her web site.) Or, connect with her on Twitter or Facebook.
One of the shots I made ran with this short feature in Marin Magazine.

Read past issues of the magazine Le Moyne College to Hold Campus Mass in Celebration of Pope FrancisSYRACUSE, N.Y. (For Immediate Release) … Le Moyne College will hold a special Mass on Friday, March 15, at 12:10 p.m. to celebrate the announcement of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio as the new pontiff. For Jesuit institutions, the selection was particularly noteworthy, as he became the first member of the Society of Jesus to become pope. The Mass will take place at the Panasci Family Chapel, and the public is invited to attend. "This is a historic and unprecedented time for the Society of Jesus and, by extension, Le Moyne College," said President Fred Pestello. "As we received word of the selection of the first-ever Jesuit, Cardinal Bergoglio of Argentina, as pope, there was a feeling of great excitement and pride across our campus. We join Syracuse Bishop Cunningham, the clergy and the faithful of the region in praying for and with our new pontiff, Francis – a man who has long been devoted to the core Jesuit issue of social justice. We embrace the pontiff's leadership as he guides the world's Catholics during this critical time in the Church's history." A statement issued by Greg Lucey, S.J., president of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities, said, "It has been a truly historic day for the Society of Jesus as we learned that our brother, Cardinal Jorge Maria Bergoglio, was selected to lead the Catholic Church as Pope Francis. As Jesuits, we emphasize social justice in our ministry, and we are gratified to have a leader who will continue to live out this mission on a global stage. We pray that the pope's grounding in Ignatian spirituality will guide him as he carries out this extraordinary calling to lead the Church of the 21st century." #####posted on: 3/14/2013

It's a reality.
The club is very involved in community service and in donating money to help Kane children, senior citizens and the needy.
"Being able to help people is very rewarding," club Secretary Barb Gadley-Cheeks said. "When you join the Eagles, you're going to be helping the community. That's just what Eagles do."
The Kane club is part of the international Fraternal Order of Eagles (FOE) founded in 1898. The Kane chapter-- called an "Aerie"-- was formed in 1903.
The non-profit Eagles organization says it unites its members "in the spirit of liberty, truth, justice and equality to make human life more desirable." The FOE has more than 1,400 local "aeries" in the U.S. and Canada.
The Kane Eagles club along Chase Street at Bayard Street has 316 members. The Kane Eagles Auxiliary, formed in 2003, now has 120 members.
Recognizing the club for its community service, the Kane Chamber of Commerce has named the Kane Eagles as the recipient of the annual "business-of-the-year" award.
The Chamber will honor the Eagles club at its banquet Thursday at the Kane Country Club. At the same banquet, the Chamber will honor the late Jim Salvamoser as its "citizen-of-the-year." Salvamoser, a longtime Kane councilman and community leader, died unexpectedly last month.
For information on banquet tickets, contact the Chamber at 837-6565.
Some of the annual projects for the Eagles and its Auxiliary include:
*Presents For Patients.
*Secret Santa.

Assay Overview: A probe candidate for this project could potentially be tested in animal models of the disease. Therefore, the candidate should have activity in Vibrio cholerae but no liabilities such as cytotoxicity in the mammalian host. One means of assessing cytotoxicity is the CellTiter-Glo luciferase assay which measures cellular ATP as a surrogate marker of cell viability. Cells are treated with compounds for 24 hours and then cell viability is measured using the CellTiter-Glo reagent. Compounds will be tested at multiple doses to determine IC50 values. Compounds that are toxic after 24 hours at IC50<30 uM will be excluded from additional studies.
Expected Outcome: A small percentage of compounds identified as hits will be toxic to cells at less than 10 uM. This will lead to a reduction in cellular ATP levels which correlates with a decreased luminescence signal and increased cytotoxicity. Compounds that exhibit no cytotoxicity at <30 uM will be prioritized for additional studies.
HeLa cells are seeded at 3,000 cells per well in 30 uL phenol-red free DMEM/10% fetal bovine serum to opaque, white Corning 8867BC 384 well plates. The following day, 100 nL of compound is added per well with the CyBio Vario pinning apparatus. HeLa cells are incubated for 24 hours at 37 degrees C. 20 uL of Cell Titer Glo (Promega) is added per well, shaken for 2 minutes, incubated at room temperature for 8 minutes and then read on the Perkin Elmer EnVision plate reader with standard luminescence parameters. Compounds which exhibit no cytotoxicity at 10 uM and/or below will be prioritized for follow-up. Compounds will only be considered valid for subsequent studies if they do not kill mammalian cells.
PRESENCE OF CONTROLS: Neutral control wells (NC; n=104) were included on every plate.
EXPECTED OUTCOME: Active compounds result in decreasing readout signal.
For each sample, the highest valid tested concentration (Max_Concentration) was determined and the active concentration limit (AC_limit) was set to equal (2)(Max_Concentration).
The raw signals of the plate wells were normalized using the 'Neutral Controls' method in Genedata Assay Analyzer (v7.0.3):
The median raw signal of the intraplate neutral controls (NC) is set to a normalized activity value of 0.
A normalized activity value of 100 is defined as (2)(NC).
A normalized activity value of -50 is defined as (0.5)(NC).
Experimental wells values were scaled to this range.
PATTERN CORRECTION: No plate pattern correction algorithm from Genedata Condoseo (v.7.0.3) was applied.
AC values were calculated using the curve fitting strategies in Genedata Screener Condoseo (7.0.3).
AC values were calculated up to the active concentration limit described for each sample.
pAC was set to equal -1*log10(AC)
Activity_Outcome = 1 (inactive) when:
a) compound shows activity but in a direction opposite to the expected outcome
in these cases, values describing curve fitting parameters (Sinf, S0, Hill Slope, log_AC50, log_AC50_SE) are set to null
b) curve fit is constant where activity is > -30% and < 30% at all tested concentrations, or
c) AC > AC_limit
Activity_Outcome = 2 (active) when:
AC <= AC_limit
Activity_Outcome = 3 (inconclusive) when:
a) Curve fitting strategy resulted in a constant fit with activity >= -70% but <= -30%, or
b) The fit was deemed not valid due to poor fit quality.
If PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME = 1 (inactive) or 3 (inconclusive),
then PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE = 0
If PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME = 2 (active)
then PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE = (10)(pAC)
Scores relate to AC in this manner:
120 = 1 pM
90 = 1 nM
60 = 1 uM
30 = 1 mM
When the active concentration (AC) is calculated to be greater than the highest valid tested concentration (Max_Concentration), the PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE is calculated using Max_Concentration as the basis.
When the active concentration (AC) is calculated to be less than the lowest tested concentration, the PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE is calculated using the lowest tested concentration as the basis.
The individual dose data point columns ('Activity_at_xxuM') reported here represent the median of valid (unmasked) replicate observations at each concentration. These values are the inputs to a curve fitting algorithm.
All other data columns represent values which are derived during the curve fitting algorithm; this may sometimes include automatic further masking of some replicate data points.
Occasionally this results in perceived inconsistencies: for example, between the derived 'Maximal_Activity' and the apparent most active data point.

Why are we so obsessed with her? I'd hit it. I'd brag to my friends that I hit it. I wouldn't fight another man for her though.
She is too thin and her eyes seem like they are too far apart. I am not saying I would turn her down (if I were single) by any means. She is very pretty but I like my girls a bit thicker with more shape. She has more of a teenager's body type and not a woman's. I know I am being nitpicky and people here are going to call bs but I would choose my wife any and every day. She is 5'5 and 135 and she is the most beautiful woman in the world to me. I am sure Ryan has bruised hips and it's not from playing football.
5'5" 135 sounds like a plan! Congrats lol.
A good friend of mine used to own a large stake in Duffy's. I wonder if her family can get me a meeting?
Sure he's an up and coming millionaire quarterback but I'm a 27 year old low level attorney! How could she resist?!
As ushe....
"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
This thread went as predicted. All I had to read was the title and I already knew the same repetitive stuff was going to be posted.

Slow Food in Istanbul
14 Jun 13
The Slow Food International Council are meeting in Istanbul from June 14-16 to discuss key strategies for the next year. More than 50 councilors coming from 40 countries, representing all continents, are attending this first meeting of the council since it was restructured at the Slow Food International Congress in 2012.
Slow Food's vice-president Alice Waters, celebrated American chef and food educator, will join the many other international delegates such as agronomist Edward Mukiibi from Uganda, who will provide an update on the Thousand Gardens in Africa project, and Joris Lohman, one of the leaders of the quickly developing Slow Food Youth Network.
The meeting will serve as the occasion to globally relaunch the Ark of Taste, the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity project to catalogue foods at risk of disappearing. With the help of local convivia and communities, Slow Food will be focusing its efforts on identifying traditional products tied to specific regions and increasing Ark nominations.
The choice of Istanbul as the host city for the council meeting marks Slow Food's new focus on emerging countries. With four convivia (local groups), Istanbul symbolizes the recent success in growing the network in new regions. Slow Food has been working in Turkey and across the Balkans through the Essedra project to identify and protect local products that can support rural development.
With recent events in Istanbul, especially at Gezi Park, Slow Food expresses its support of the protesters' pleas. In the past week, some of our members in Turkey have joined in to support the construction of a vegetable garden in the park: to continue the fight to protect the few remaining green areas of the city as well as promote the idea of a more sustainable development through democratic participation.

Cabinets can be one of the most expensive components of your home. Whether you are choosing kitchen or bathroom cabinets, sprucing up old cabinets will save money and give your home a face lift. When cabinets are updated, they can improve the value of your home and appeal to future home buyers. Even if you aren't moving, you'll want to spend more time in your kitchen and bathroom once you have fresh, updated cabinets. Here are 10 ways to breathe life into old cabinets and update your home at the same time!
1. Paint cabinets: Consider painting old cabinets with a fresh coat of paint in a quality semi- or high-gloss paint. Make sure cabinets are sanded free of the old finish/stain. For the best results, seek advice of a home improvement store or a cabinetry maker for your specific type of cabinet.
[Need help with your home renovation? Click to find the right contractor now.]
Modern metals in minimalistic shapes help update cabinets.
Cabinet detailing adds grandeur.
4. Add glass doors: To give cabinets country charm, replace solid doors with glass pane doors. If you decide to add glass, consider putting decorative dishes or display items in these cabinets. Add under-cabinet lights inside cabinets for added visual interest in the evening.
Structurally sound cabinets just need refacing.
[Thinking about refacing your cabinets? Click to find the right contractor now.]
6. Remove doors entirely: Partially open shelving and cabinetry is for those who like to have dishware on display. Kitchens can add a decorative touch by using open shelving display to brighten their kitchen and walls. Consider painting the inside of the cabinets to give dishes a beautiful backdrop.
7. Under/over cabinet lighting brightens the kitchen: Updating your old cabinetry can also mean improving its functionality. Consider breathing new life into your cabinets with over and under cabinet lighting. Lighting can add ambiance and under cabinet lighting doubles for ambiance and task lighting.
What you put inside your cabinets matters, too.
9. Add cabinetry paneling to your appliances: Once your cabinetry has been aesthetically improved, opt for appliances with matching cabinetry paneling. This is a good option for those who reface cabinets with door fronts and drawer pulls. Refrigerators, dishwashers, and heated/cooling drawers have varieties with customizable paneling for an integrated appeal.

.Stephen A. Smith's mouth seems to have gotten him into trouble again on ESPN's "First Take" on Thursday morning. This time it wasn't any inane point that he was trying to make or illogical argument that he was staging with Skip Bayless. Rather, it sounds a lot like Smith let fly with some inappropriate language.
While discussing Kobe Bryant's foot injury, Smith scoffed at the notion that the five-time NBA champion would sit out for the season opener and may have accidentally dropped a racial slur.
Here's what it sounds like Smith said:
"Opening night. Kobe Bryant is going to miss it because, 'my foot is sprained?' Are you crazy, nigga please," Smith may have said

The Assurance ComforTred Touring is Goodyear's Grand Touring All-Season tire
developed for the drivers of mid-range and upscale coupes, sedans and minivans.
The Assurance ComforTred Touring was designed to combine looks, ride comfort
and long wear with all-season traction, even in light snow.
The Assurance ComforTred Touring features a mildly asymmetric tread design that combines
independent shoulder blocks with notched intermediate and center ribs to blend
dry and wet road traction and handling. Four wide circumferential grooves evacuate
water from under the tread to enhance wet traction while the tread grooves, notches
and sipes form biting edges that deliver all-season traction in light snow.
The tires' internal construction includes a super shock absorbent Comfort Layer
of rubber sandwiched between the tread and steel belts (that provides on average,
20% more cushion than standard auto tires) to insulate vibration and impacts with
expansion joints, potholes and bumps. The tires also feature Goodyear's dual-layer
ComfortEdge sidewall supports to provide a balance of ride comfort and handling.
an internal structure that includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon on top of a polyester cord body to combine strength and durability with a smooth ride

I have had these tires on for just over a year and have put 43000ks on them. They seem like a good tire with some poor handling in the rain and snow. Just had a nail go thru one of them and Goodyear refused to fix it even though they were still open. Tires are good but customer service stinks. Dont get trapped into buying a goodyear tire because once u buy customer service is downhill from there especially the Lake Street location in St. Catharines Ontario. Not even head office contacted me back. Buy quality with a side of premier customer service and spend less and buy FIRESTONE!!!

Impressed by Caterham's determination to succeed, Kamui Kobayashi and Marcus Ericsson head to Melbourne eager for a good start to the season...
Marcus Ericsson: "Honestly, I cannot wait for it all to start in Australia. It will be my first ever F1 race weekend as a race driver and I'm so excited about my debut season in F1 starting, and in Australia, a country with a lot of F1 history and seriously passionate fans, that's just going to be cool. I've been working for this chance since I started racing, and now it's finally coming true, thanks to all the people who've supported me, and to the team for giving me this chance.
"We've done everything we can to prepare, but, honestly, I don't think you can ever prepare for what it'll feel like in the car, sitting on the grid as the lights go out in my debut race - however, that feeling will go very quickly and I know I'm ready to race.
"The pre-season tests were tough, but at the end of them we'd got through most of what we planned, so there shouldn't be too many surprises in Melbourne. By the end of the tests our reliability was best of the Renault teams and we ran through a race sim, including the formation lap procedure, starts and pitstops, so with the mileage we completed in both Bahrain tests, we're as ready as we can be. I've also been back at the factory since leaving Bahrain and been driving the Melbourne track on the sim which means it'll only take a lap or two for me to get up to speed when we're there.
"Since the tests finished there's been a lot of talk about what'll happen in Australia, but until we're actually on track it's impossible to predict what might happen. We weren't able to do full performance runs on either of the last two days - for me because it was my first ever lap on supersofts and I know how much more I will get out of them with more experience, and for Kamui because a clutch issue problem stopped him before he could have a go at supersoft runs - so I think the first time we'll really see where we are on pace compared to the other teams will be in quali. What we do know is that in the race itself fuel and energy management strategies are going to be critical, so I'm glad we were able to work on them with Renault as much as we did in the tests. It might well be confusing for the fans, a bit watching driver manage tyres was for the first half of last year, but it will all be clear when the chequered flag falls."
Kamui Kobayashi: "We start the season in Melbourne and I'm excited about getting back to racing F1 cars again! Last time I raced in Melbourne (in 2012 with Sauber) I was sixth and while I don't think that's a realistic target for us this year, I think the race will be very interesting. There could be reliability problems for lots of teams, us as well obviously, but by the end of the tests our reliability was ok, certainly better than a few other teams, and that could be very important on Sunday in Melbourne.
"Obviously for me this is my first race back, and I'm really pleased it's with Caterham. I guarantee that they are working as hard as anyone else to have a good year in 2014 and I've been very impressed with how determined they are to succeed. They have a very good base to work from in Leafield, so there's no reason we can't have a good year, particularly with what we have planned to improve the car as the season goes on.
"We still don't know exactly where we are on performance, partly because you never do in tests because you don't know what everyone else is doing, but also because we didn't really have a chance to do a proper quali sim in Bahrain. We have some new parts coming to Australia, including some revisions to the front wing, so we'll be working on them on Friday and Saturday morning and know more about where we are when qualifying's finished on Saturday."
