text: The Fredonia Town Board has agreed to have the engineering firm Bonestroo prepare the paperwork needed for a state grant request that could make costly improvements to Jay Road a little more manageable.Consulting engineer Allan Schmidt told town officials it would cost between $2,000 and $4,000 to prepare a preliminary analysis of deficiencies of the four-mile stretch of Jay Road between Highway 57 and Highway I. The analysis is needed to apply for state Town Road Improvement Program funds.Safety concerns and traffic volume are considered in the competitive grant process, Schmidt said."I don't want to say you have a high chance of getting a grant, because a lot of communities are likely to be seeking the funding," he said.If the state grant is awarded, the town would have to pay 50% of the project costs.Schmidt said he couldn't say how much the project would cost at this time, adding, "it is not going to be inexpensive."The final cost will depend on the roadway configuration, but he said minimum cost would likely be about $100,000 a mile.Officials said the tax impact of the road project could be minimized by spreading the job over two years, or by doing just portions of the stretch.The road has been a source of concern for town officials for some time, especially with the difficult turning angle trucks face when approaching and leaving the Cedar Valley Cheese factory, located at the southwest corner of Jay Road and Highway 57.When the project was discussed last year, officials said the road work could involve creating turn lanes at the Jay Road and Highway 57 crossing and cutting back a hill further west.Applications for the TRIP fund grants are due Nov. 1, so town officials felt they had to act quickly on authorizing setting the application into motion.If the town missed the filing deadline, it would have to wait for the next two-year cycle to apply. That would not be until 2013.Town Chairman Richard Mueller urged board members to pursue the grant."Even if we get the grant, we don't have to agree to do the project. The application doesn't commit us to anything," Mueller said.Supervisors unanimously approved asking Bonestroo to prepare the grant application.

Dear customers,
Due to manufacturing difficulties with the Astride and increased competition in the "niche" equestrian communications market, we are sadly announcing the closing of Eponaire, LLC. We are extremely proud of the success our company has had over the years, and took great joy in assisting our customers. We will miss all of you!!
If you own one of our Eponaire systems and encounter any difficulties with it's performance going forward:
First please reread the tips sheet included with your purchase. Make sure fresh batteries are installed in your system and check that the acoustic eartubes are spotlessly can. Recheck that you and your instructor are on the same channel. Most failures are due to one of the above issues.
Azden corporation was the manufacturer of our system and replacement parts are still available although they will not carry the Eeponaire logo.
You may purchase replacement parts through B &H Photo: www.bhphotovideo.com.
The following Azden products are compatible with the Eponaire system:
Azden WLT/Pro Transmitter VHF -replaces the Eponaire transmitter
Azden WR-PRO Receiver (camera mount on the back is removeable)-replaces the Eponaire receiver
Acoustic eartubes- Otto Engineering C101199-05 (pack of 5)
The acoustic earphone offered by B&H is compatible, although it will not have a volume control. This should not be an issue unless you have hearing loss, the volume will be at an acceptable level. Any ipod earphone will also work with the system.
Adapters (3.5 female to BNC) that attach to the adapter cord are available online or through Radio Shack.
Holster cases may be more difficult to find, however you may be able to find them in the electronics department of your local Target/Walmart, etc. Look for medium sized smartphone cases.
If you own an Astride, replacement fleece pads are available through Wilkers Custom Horse Products: www.wilkers.com
It has been a pleasure serving you, and we wish you continued success with your horses and your riding!

Loved it! Will make again. I did add some pepperoni to the mixture. So easy and good.
We liked this but probably wouldn't make it again or put it on the list of things we love to eat regularly.
This was a little twist on lasagnia to make it even quicker. Good for when you are in a hurry. I used the can of large crescents as the picture looked like the regular can just didn't quite stretch. Seemed the perfect size. Thanks for a fun tag!

Supporting local organizations with student agricultural expertise
The Horticulture Innovation Lab's Trellis Fund provides small-scale, in-country development organizations access to U.S. graduate student expertise, providing benefits to both the student and the in-country institutions. While addressing horticultural challenges, the organizations build relationships with tomorrow's agricultural experts while also broadening students' perspectives. Trellis Fund projects may address horticultural crop production, irrigation, plant nutrition, pest management, postharvest practices, marketing issues in relation to fruits, vegetables and high-value horticultural crops.
Current status: The Trellis Fund is currently completing its fourth round of projects and is in the recruitment and review process for a future, fifth round of projects. Jan. 18, 2016, was the deadline for organizations to submit a proposal. All organizations that applied for Trellis funding have been notified; if you are part of an organization that applied, but have not heard whether your Trellis Fund proposal was funded or not, please contact email@example.com for details. Graduate student recruitment is not expected to take place until the fall of 2016. Funding for selected projects will be available for the 2017 calendar year. Questions about the proposal, review, and application processes should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. Details from the past application processes are below.
Trellis accomplishments
The Horticulture Innovation Lab has completed three rounds of Trellis Fund projects so far. Accomplishments from the first 38 completed Trellis projects include:
- 6,420 farmer participants (71% women)
- 180 demonstration plots
- more than 184 training and extension meetings
Photos collected from student trips for Trellis projects are available in our Trellis album on Flickr.
Current Trellis Fund projects
The Horticulture Innovation Lab awarded its fourth round of Trellis Fund projects in January 2015, to organizations in nine countries with grad students from three universities. Some projects have already been completed, while others will finish by the end of January 2016.

I run a site which provides Subversion & TRAC for lots of open source projects. This works pretty well with one exception: Many search engines do not care about
robots.txt and DoS the webserver with many parallel requests in TRAC, for example the TRAC changesets as tar/zip.
As I run a lot of TRAC repositories under one domain, I use wildcards in
robots.txt, which according to Google should be permitted:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /*/changeset
Disallow: /*/browser
Disallow: /*/log
Unfortunately even Google does not care about it, although the webmaster tools confirm that the specific URIs should be ignored. And yes, I told them but they didn't really care. For sure others like Yandex do not care about it either.
So plan B is to lock them out in the Apache configuration, a friend of mine gave me some hints about how to do it:
<Directory /foo/bar>
SetEnvIf User-Agent Yandex BlockYandex=1
SetEnvIf User-Agent METASpider BlockMETASpider=1
SetEnvIf User-Agent Mail.ru BlockMailru=1
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Deny from env=BlockYandex
Deny from env=BlockMETASpider
Deny from env=BlockMailru
Now I try to figure out if I can do something like that with wildcards as well so I don't have to do a
<Directory> section for each repository. I found
<LocationMatch> in the Apache docs but I am not sure if I can use that as a replacement for
So my question is can I use
<LocationMatch> for that and/or does anyone have some better ideas on filtering the bots on server side?

The notion of complex-valued information entropy measure is presented. It applies in particular to directed networks (digraphs). The corresponding statistical physics notions are outlined. The studied network, serving as a case study, in view of illustrating the discussion, concerns citations by agents belonging to two distinct communities which have markedly different opinions: the Neocreationist and Intelligent Design Proponents, on one hand, and the Darwinian Evolution Defenders, on the other hand. The whole, intra- and inter-community adjacency matrices, resulting from quotations of published work by the community agents, are elaborated and eigenvalues calculated. Since eigenvalues can be complex numbers, the information entropy may become also complex-valued. It is calculated for the illustrating case. The role of the imaginary part finiteness is discussed in particular and given some physical sense interpretation through local interaction range consideration. It is concluded that such generalizations are not only interesting and necessary for discussing directed networks, but also may give new insight into conceptual ideas about directed or other networks. Notes on extending the above to Tsallis entropy measure are found in an Appendix.

"Hinge abduction" is a complication of Perthes' disease caused by impingement of the extruded superolateral portion of the femoral head against the lateral lip of the acetabulum. Catterall first described femoral valgus extension osteotomy (VGEO) to treat this condition. We report the results of this operation in 16 cases of Perthes' disease with "hinge abduction".
Sixteen hips in 16 patients affected by Perthes' disease and "hinge abduction" were operated on at a mean age of 10.1 years and followed up an average of 6.5 years later. Before surgery, the mean Iowa hip score was 44.4 points. Preoperative radiographs were taken with the affected hip in maximum adduction in order to calculate the amount of valgus correction. The osteotomy was performed between the greater and the lesser trochanter, and it was fixed with a hip plate.
All the osteotomies healed uneventfully. At follow-up, no patient complained of pain and hip abduction ranged from 20° to 45°. Four out of the 16 patients had a moderate limp, and 12 had an improvement in gait pattern compared to preoperatively. At follow-up, the Iowa hip score totaled a mean of 83.6 points, with a statistically significant improvement in comparison to the preoperative evaluation. At follow-up, two hips were classified as Stulberg II–III, ten hips as Stulberg III, and four as Stulberg IV.
In our hands, VGEO was an effective procedure to treat "hinge abduction" in severe Perthes' disease with satisfactory results. The main limitation of our study is its short follow-up.

Solid addition to the Platinum X, Steve Holmes or anal departments.
Energized, vigorous one-on-one anal sex delivered to a handful of young starlets (and one star) by a trio of porn's most piston-pumping male performers - Erik Everhard, Manuel Ferrara and Steve Holmes.
Natural cutie Haley Paige gets a solid thumping by Holmes. Tiffany Mynx and Manuel Ferrara get some real anal chemistry going. But the final scene with Isabel Ice is the icing on cake. Holmes wraps his belt around her neck and does what he pleases.

The Dunedin Railway Station is not traditionally where art
and science come together - it is usually where people
But on September 20 this year, all three will unite there for
the Dunedin Craft Beer Expo.
Twenty-five breweries from around New Zealand will put their
products on tap.
Craft beer brewers from Emerson's, Green Man, McDuffs,
Speight's and Velvet Worm met at the Dunedin Railway Station
yesterday to officially launch the 2014 expo.
There was plenty of excitement bubbling beneath the surface
of the brewers.
Velvet Worm brewer Bart Acres said it would be a great
opportunity for craft brewers to share secrets about their
art, the science that goes into producing a good craft beer,
and matching food with their beers.
''It's a blend of science and art.''
Organiser Matthew Black said some of New Zealand's finest
craft beer ''artists'' would present more than 100 beers, and
there would be a home brew competition for the more
competitive basement brewers.
Mr Black said he helped organise last year's Otago University
Students' Association Dunedin Craft Beer and Food Festival,
but had decided to create his own event this year with a
greater focus on family.
To that end, he hopes to attract more women and children to
the male-dominated event by chartering the Silver Fern train
to travel from Oamaru to Dunedin, stopping at all stations,
to ferry northern residents to the event.
Eight of the train carriages will be parked next to the
northern platform of the railway station, to be used for
brewing seminars, a family zone and extra seating.
A large selection of ciders, wines and food will also be
available, as well as an all-Dunedin music line-up.
''The expo will run from 3pm-9.30pm on election day
[September 20], providing people an opportunity for a fun
thing to attend after they vote,'' he said.
Early-bird discounted tickets go on sale today at the Regent
Theatre and Ticket Direct.

The musical director of a charity concert in Invercargill
yesterday has described the response from audience and
musicians as "excellent".
"We had to put out extra chairs ... and the musicians have
been so good. Everyone has given their time free. They have
been amazing," Judy Knoops said.
About 270 people attended the Lions Club of Invercargill
Central event, a fundraiser for the Chair in Neurosurgery
The afternoon concert featured country singers Margaret
Bates, Allan Barron and Trevor Dawe, along with local
Mrs Knoops said she did not know how much would be raised
from the concert and raffles but expected it would be about
The Chair in Neurosurgery campaign began in January to raise
$3 million to build up a fund to employ a permanent head of
neurosurgery in Dunedin.
Belgian neurosurgeon and brain researcher Dirk De Ridder is
the first appointee and will begin his work in February,
dividing his time equally between clinical work at Dunedin
Hospital for the Southern District Health Board and research
and teaching at the University of Otago.
With just two months to go before the December 31 deadline,
the campaign has raised almost $2.8 million, about $370,000
of that coming from Southland.

Late in the summer season, Denver and the Rocky Mountains had seen afternoon & evening storms for almost a month straight, except for the two days that we planned to camp and attempt the summit of Longs Peak, a notorious fourteener in the North of the Front Range. Tony, Micheal and James joined us for a long day's hiking, with Longs Peak being a 25.7km (16 mile) hike/climb with 4845' of vertical elevation gain from 9410' at the Trail Head to 14 255' at the summit, with 2/3 of the hike being into a gusty headwind of 30-50mph. At the end of the day, Todd, Micheal & James summited, while Tony & I turned back at the Keyhole and instead went up the Chasm, where I swam in Chasm Lake (11 800').

HideawayHD Closed Captioning
Brett Leonard
Open iTunes to preview, buy, and download this movie.
About the Movie
For two hours, Hatch Harrison was dead, and when doctors revived him, they brought more than Hatch's body back to life. Jeff Goldblum, Christine Lahti and Alicia Silverstone star in "Hideaway," a terrifying thriller that journeys from the unconscious mind to the heart of all evil. When Hatch returns to the living, he discovers he is telepathically linked to a deranged killer. Horrified, Hatch witnesses the killer stalking a series of young women, including his own daughter. Through these visions,Hatch is able to follow the killer to a gruesome hideaway, where the terrifying secret of their linked lives is finally revealed.
Customer Reviews
The movie lacked the whole character of Regina and she's awesome in the book! Hatch's visions are good as are the visual effects but no contest to the book!
Great actors but book is better
The movie was good, not great and that's because the book is a WHOLE LOT BETTER!! If you don't read the book then you won't know what you are missing. Overall, if you like the actors and are into the supernatural, then this is a movie for you.

Yup, certain Review pages currently load comically slow. For example, we kindly ask that you never pay a visit to the "all" sub-tab of the "low quality" tab on Stack Overflow's review page. (You'll occasionally be greeted by a literally 2-minute page load).
We're working on overhauling the Review page entirely, which will take care of the current performance issues.

Victims, family tell Loughner their lives changed
PHOENIX (AP) – Some of those shot by Jared Lee Loughner, their family members and those who lost loved ones in the rampage that killed six and wounded U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, spoke to him at sentencing hearing Thursday. A judge confirmed he will spend the rest of his life in prison. Here are some of their comments:
"You took away my life, my love and my reason for living," said Mavanell Stoddard, who was shot three times and cradled her dying husband in her arms as he lay bleeding on the sidewalk after shielding her from the spray of bullets.
"I am so lonesome, hate living without him," she said, her voice cracking.
Her husband, 76-year-old Dorwin Stoddard, was shot in the head during the attack after diving to protect his wife. He lived another 10 minutes, then died in his wife's arms.
"You stopped our 15-year almost perfect marriage of total happiness," Mavanell Stoddard said, staring at Loughner. "You ended all that in an instant.
"But we will never let you win," she added. "You will not take our spirit. You will not take our ability to love."
Giffords didn't speak, but stood at her husband's side as he talked.
"Gabby would trade her own life to bring back any one of those you savagely murdered on that day," said Mark Kelly, former astronaut and Giffords' husband.
"Her life has been forever changed. Plans she had for our family and her career have been immeasurably altered. Every day is a continuous struggle to do those things she once was so good at."
"Gabby struggles to walk. Her right arm is paralyzed. She is partially blind," Kelly said. "Gabby works harder in one minute of an hour fighting to make each individual moment count for something than most of us work in an entire day."
"Mr. Loughner, you may have put a bullet through her head but you haven't put a dent in her spirit and her commitment to make the world a better place," Kelly said.
U.S. Rep. Ron Barber, a former Giffords staffer who won election to her seat when she stepped down, stared down Loughner from the podium, at times almost scolding the confessed shooter.
"I am very angry and am sick of heart about what you have done and the hurt you have caused to all of us," said Barber, who was shot in the cheek and thigh as he stood with Giffords on the day of the attack. "And now you must pay the price. You must pay the price for the terror, injuries and deaths you caused."
Susan Hileman, who was shot, spoke to Loughner, at times visibly shaking.
"We've been told about your demons, about the illness that skewed your thinking," she said. "Your parents, your schools, your community, they all failed you.
"It's all true," Hileman said. "It's not enough."
"You pointed a weapon and shot me three times," she said, staring directly at Loughner. He looked back at her. "And now I will walk out of this courtroom and into the rest of my life and I won't think of you again."

Statement of the British Orthodox Church on
Vassula Ryden
Statement from His Eminence Abba Seraphim, Metropolitan of Glastonbury, regarding Mrs. Vassula Ryden, August 2005: In a General Memorandum to the clergy of the British Orthodox Church, His Eminence Abba Seraphim offered the following guidance to the clergy and faithful:
His Eminence Abba Seraphim also points out that Mrs Ryden has found enthusiastic supporters among numbers of the Anglican, Catholic and Orthodox clergy and has often utilised the opportunities offered by 'Inter religious Pilgrimages' she organizes (such as her ones to the Holy Land in March 2000 and to Egypt in October 2002) to cultivate members of the local hierarchy, who are not always fully aware of all her activities.
This memorandum was published in the britishorthodox.org website in February 2006, with an extra note indicating that "the statement in the True Life in God UK Newsletter No. 6 (November 2005) that His Eminence Abba Seraphim along with H.M. Queen Elisabeth II and the Archbishop of Canterbury, 'sent us their good wishes for the meeting' is untrue. An invitation was sent to Abba Seraphim and a reply sent on his behalf stating that he had another engagement and would be unable to attend, but asking to be kept on the TLIG mailing list and for copies of the documentation supplied to be sent to other Orthodox hierarchs in the United Kingdom." (Read the entire article in britishorthodoc.org/113b.php towards the end of the page).
Benedict XVI's address at the general audience, held at the papal summer residence of Castel Gandolfo. The Pope dedicated his address to Tuesday's solemnity of the Assumption.
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Our usual weekly Wednesday meeting is taking place today in the climate of the solemnity of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. I would like to invite you therefore to turn your gaze once again to our heavenly mother, whom the liturgy presented to us as victorious with Christ in heaven.
This feast has always been greatly cherished by the Christian people since the first centuries of Christianity. As is already known, it celebrates the glorification, including corporal, of that creature whom God chose as his mother, and that Jesus on the cross gave as mother to the whole of humanity.
The Assumption evokes a mystery that affects each one of us because, as the Second Vatican Council affirmed, Mary "precedes with her light the people of God as a sign of hope and consolation" ("Lumen Gentium," No. 68). We are so immersed in everyday struggles that at times we forget this consoling spiritual reality, which is an important truth of faith.
How is it possible to make this luminous sign of hope be increasingly perceived by present-day society? Today there are those who live as if they should never die, or as if all ends with death. Some behave as if man is the sole author of his destiny, as if God did not exist, at times even denying that there is a place for him in our world.
The great successes of technology and science, which have notably improved humanity's conditions of life, do not give solutions to the most profound questions of the human spirit. Only by openness to the mystery of God, who is love, can our hearts' thirst for truth and happiness be satisfied; only the perspective of eternity can give authentic value to historical events and above all to the mystery of human frailty, suffering and death.
On contemplating Mary in heavenly glory, we also understand that the earth is not our definitive homeland and that, if we live constantly oriented to eternal goods, one day we will share in her same glory. For this reason, despite the many daily difficulties, we must not lose serenity or peace.
The luminous sign of the Assumption to heaven shines even more when it seems that sad shadows of grief and violence loom over the horizon. We are sure that, from on high, Mary follows our steps with gentle trepidation, gives us serenity in the hour of darkness and storm, and gives us security with her maternal hand.
Supported by this conviction, we continue with confidence on our way of Christian commitment where providence leads us.
At the end of the audience, the Holy Father greeted pilgrims in several languages. In English, he said:
... Yesterday we contemplated the Virgin Mary's assumption into heaven. This mystery reminds us that our definitive homeland is not here on earth, and that our longing for fulfillment finds complete satisfaction only in eternal happiness. May our mother in heaven, who guides us on our way, inspire us with courage and hope through the struggles of our daily life! I wish you a pleasant stay, and may God bless you all!
Here is a translation of Benedict XVI's address on Tuesday, the solemnity of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, to the crowds gathered in the courtyard of the papal summer residence of Castel Gandolfo to pray the midday Angelus.
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Christian tradition has placed in the heart of summer one of the most ancient and evocative Marian feasts, the solemnity of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. Just as Jesus rose from the dead and ascended to the right hand of the Father, Mary, at the end of the course of her existence on earth, was assumed into heaven.
The liturgy reminds us today of this consoling truth of faith, while singing the praises of her who was crowned with incomparable glory. "And a great portent appeared in heaven," we read in the passage of Revelation proposed today for our meditation, "a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars" (12:1). In this woman, resplendent with light, the Fathers of the Church recognized Mary. In her victory, the Christian people, pilgrim in history, perceives the fulfillment of its expectations and the sure sign of its hope.
Mary is an example and support for all believers: She encourages us not to lose confidence in the face of the difficulties and inevitable problems of every day. She assures us of her help and reminds us that what is essential is to seek and aspire for "things that are above, not for things on earth" (cf. Colossians 3:2). Immersed in daily occupations, we run the risk of believing that in this world, in which we are only passing by, is the objective of human existence. However, Paradise is the authentic goal of our earthly pilgrimage. How different our days would be if they were animated by this perspective! It is what happened to saints. Their human existence witnesses that when one lives with one's heart constantly directed to heaven, earthly realities are lived in their just value, as they are illuminated by the eternal truth of divine love.
To the Queen of Peace, whom we contemplate in heavenly glory, I would like to entrust once again the concerns of humanity in every place of the world tormented by violence. We join our brothers and sisters, who in these hours are gathered in the Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon in Harissa, for a Eucharistic celebration presided over by Cardinal Roger Etchegaray, who has traveled to Lebanon as my special envoy, to take consolation and concrete solidarity to all the victims of the conflict and to pray for the great intention of peace.
We are also in communion with the pastors and faithful of the Church in the Holy Land, who are gathered in the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth, around the papal representative in Israel and Palestine, Archbishop Antonio Franco, to pray for the same intentions.
My thoughts also go to the dear nation of Sri Lanka, threatened by the deterioration of the ethnic conflict; to Iraq, where the terrible and daily trail of blood removes the perspective of reconciliation and reconstruction. May Mary inspire in all sentiments of understanding, a will to understand and desires for concord!

"5 star"
I listened to the audio of this book and loved the sound effects. this was a very good short story. I wanted something short and good and that's what I got. this is also my first book by this author. very impressed even if it is more a kids book. still very good.
"R.L. Stine Still Has it in Children's Horror"
I believe I would, though I'm losing my unlimited subscription in a week so it won't be as easy an opportunity beyond this.
The zombies themselves, they were gross without overdoing it, and his descriptions left them in that almost goofy green zombie mode instead of where Walking Dead has gone.
Basically any scene where Mike ran from zombies was good.
Not really, but its a fun children's story so I didn't expect any scene to move me either. There was a scene with some pop, but I don't want to give that away.
I've read probably 40 books by RL stine growing up, this is the first I've encountered in years, its good to see that his goofy sense of humor and plots are still intact.

Greetings America. Here in Britain, something very strange is happening scandal, intrigue, sex, lies, theyre EVERYWHERE. No sooner had we recovered from the news that a member of our House of Lords, one Lord Archer of Weston-super-Mare, better known as the best-selling novelist Jeffrey Archer, had been sentenced to four years inprison for perjury... than we woke up last week to find that another former legislator, a one-time government minister AND his wife, were being arrested in connection with a group sex attack on a young woman half their age.
You dont know what to think. You dont know what to believe.
We know that Prince Charles lives openly with a woman not his wife, the divorcee Camilla Parker-Bowles. This week we have suddenly learnt that the Queen who is 75 and Head of the Church of England and was always said to be implacably opposed to the relationship is now reconciled to the prospect of Charles marrying his long-term paramour. Its not just the royals who are making the news.
Their servants are getting in on the act as well. This week Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, has been arrested and charged with stealing 342 personal items that once belonged to Diana, her husband and their children. The charge sheet lists the items in bewildering detail from Dianas nightwear to her Chanel shoes, from her black gloves to her pink rollneck jumpers, from an Indiana Jones whip to a souvenir photograph of the cast of Baywatch personally signed by David Hasselhoff. You couldnt make it up. What is the world coming to? It may be bad for the moral fabric of the nation, but, goodness me, it doesnt half help the newspapers' flagging circulation figures. This is Gyles Brandreth, surrounded by depravity and degradation, for CBS News in London.

No Matter How Fancy, Its Name Is Still Mess; 6 Minutes, 4,000 Cadets And a Quest for Flavor
By GLENN COLLINS
Published: February 24, 2003
WEST POINT, N.Y.— It's really the kind of thing the Ivies might do.
Consider that, just for starters, 21 of the senior chefs here have already tuned up their skills at the Culinary Institute of America. About 30 managers are now immersed in an eight-week course taught by a consultant who trained the staff at the Four Seasons Hotel in Manhattan. And Glorious Food, the high-end caterer, has been brought in to give advice on food presentation and menus.
No, it's not Princeton, or Harvard, but the United States Military Academy at West Point, and ''cadets expect nothing less,'' said Lt. Col. Derek S. Smith, officer in charge of the Cadet Mess. ''We have to stay on top of new ideas as we increase the quality of our service, and the quality of our food.''
This is a daunting challenge, since ''military food'' is one of the most venerable oxymorons in the language. There is also the stark reality that the entire United States Corps of Cadets, 4,000 strong, must be served in six minutes. They have but 24 minutes to eat.
That all adds up to 10,000 meals a day, 3 million meals a year. However, the food staff is also called upon to cater special events, such as a recent weekend dinner for 400 visiting cadets and officers from the Royal Military College of Canada.
Furthermore, there are four-star blowouts for the likes of President Bush, foreign heads of state and, the ultimate test, the annual October alumni summit, the Thayer Award Dinner, which last year drew 4,455 guests.
The budget for all this martial noshing is $20 million. On the balance sheet, over the course of a year, cadet meals cost an average of $5.75 per day.
If, as Napoleon said, an army marches on its stomach, then improved food and service are not insignificant matters at a time when West Point is girding for a potential war. ''Our most important mission is to support our cadets,'' said Colonel Smith, 40, who supervises 300 people, including 104 cooks and a serving staff of 160.
A 17-year veteran who has served in Kuwait, Bosnia and Korea, Colonel Smith is hardly a career food-service warrior. While he once headed food-maintenance operations in Hungary, his real expertise isn't so much cooking as, well, explosives.
What, then, was the strategic impulse for his grand culinary upgrade? ''My idea has always been to seek the advice of experts,'' he said. ''We wanted to hire the best people there are.''
Enter Jean-Claude Nedelec, the executive chef of Glorious Food, which catered dinner for 600 for the Museum of Modern Art the other night and fed 5,000 patriotic revelers at the rededication of the Statue of Liberty in 1986. Mr. Nedelec has been studying the Cadet Mess, using a stopwatch and taking notes, ''and it's an incredible operation,'' he said. ''I am impressed that they get so much out of their staff and their budget.''
So far he has made recommendations about presentation -- silverware, plates, drinking glasses, serving platters and condiments available at meals. ''These seem like small things,'' he said, ''but they can make a big difference.'' He is also studying West Point's recipe roster to recommend improvements.
Naturally, there is grumbling about the chow -- the soldier's prerogative since before the fall of Carthage -- but a fair number of cadets are complimentary. ''I'm surprised and pleased at how well they do, given how much time we have to eat, and how much time they have to serve us,'' said Keith Benedict, 22, a cadet sergeant major from Tucson. He is a Rhodes Scholar who will be able to make comparisons with the grub at Oxford University next year.
Indeed, food complaints ''aren't high on the list of problems they come to me about,'' said Cadet Lt. Corey Boernsen, 23, the senior class president, from Winterset, Iowa. He was one of seven cadets at a wine tasting convened to choose the wines for graduation dinner. It was his first wine tasting, ''but it will not be my last,'' he said.
At the Cadet Mess, each waiter covers 10 tables -- or 100 cadets -- a workload that is bearable because the food is served family style. The cuisine is hardly haute, and ''they use more frozen and canned vegetables than we do,'' Mr. Nedelec said.
But all meals must conform to the Army's nutritional guidelines: 55 to 60 percent carbohydrates, 20 to 30 percent fat, 15 to 20 percent protein. About 3,500 calories a day are allotted for men, 2,500 for women; double portions go to football players and other athletes.
Every meal must take into account the ''cadet preference issue,'' as it is called at West Point. ''I could design a health menu, but they might not like it,'' said Kelli Kidd, the dietitian for the Cadet Corps. ''So I walk around during every meal and ask the cadets what they think of the food.''
Last year, Ms. Kidd added skim milk as an option along with the 1 percent that was already available; it was thirstily consumed. ''I think there is a greater trend toward healthy lifestyles,'' Ms. Kidd said. She laughed: ''But the day you tried to take their pizza away, that would be a bad day.''

Maybe they're waiting for him to pull himself up by the bootstraps yet again.
"Ex drug addict reclaims life, becomes crane operator. Libeled by paper, he reclaims life again, does XYZ."
Dan, it was not just the PI, the news channels threw him under the bus as well. Frankly, I think he should have sued them if he has grounds to. But that would be responsible journalism and until the Seattle Times or the PI start doing that, I do not purchase there paper and hope they do go out of business.
Thanks for staying on top of this.
Um. Ya.
While I agree that the up-by-their-bootstraps song and dance is played out by the P-I, there's a bigger issue at hand here.
WTF kind of racist bullshit IS this?!
As a social worker, a REAL social worker, with many highly qualified black colleagues, I resent the fact that the profile they did on a black social worker is a prostitute/drug addict cum (sp?) "social worker."
1.) Why she gotta be a "CRACKHEAD?" In the article it only states that she had a problem with cocaine, not crack. Was it crack or cocaine that she used? And if was was cocaine, why is she a "CRACKHEAD?" Is it 'cause she's BLACK? And why is that the headline? If it was a white prostitute, would it say "METH HEAD!" or would it just say "drug addict?..."
2.) She was a drug addict, a prostitute, and a neglectful mother all the way up until July 3rd, 2001. But all it took was 36 days in jail for her to see the light? To become clean and sober and reformed and ready to be a "social worker?" And two months later she WAS one? Ya, bullshit. A street outreach worker does not a social worker make, and anyone who would hire someone who was so recently involved and did not yet have a history of sobriety and self-sufficiancy is completely irresponsible. Yes, people can reform. People can go from crackhead prostitutes to social workers. But it's a process. And 36 days in jail and a change of heart is not the end of the process. It can be a beginning, yes, but is far from the end. She can't be a social worker when she NEEDS a social worker. Something that ALL social workers know is that we cannot help other people until we help ourselves. If we're are struggling with addiction, sobriety, getting our children back from CPS, etc... We cannot be helping others at the same time. It's unethical. Besides, to refer to her as a social worker, without the training and education and history that goes along with that, is wrong. It is a professional title, like doctor or lawyer. From everything I have read, she is NOT a social worker.
3.) "As part of its Black History Month coverage, the Seattle P-I is running a series of profiles of African Americans in the Seattle area who are making a difference in unique ways." WTFWTFWTFWTFWTF?! So, the P-I wants to do a profile on a black social worker and a fake social worker who is a recovering drug addict is the best that they could do? It's that kind of soft racism that hurts the most. "Oh, loooook at the black people! Even though they are drug addicts and child neglectors and whores, they can sometimes change and do good things too!"
It's so, so wrong.
I guess proper grammar is not a prerequisite for a career in social work.
Hey Elswinger,
Bigger Picture's post was one of the more insightful and well-written I've seen here. What few mistakes (s)he made were likely the result of writing quickly in a little comment box.
There are hundreds of slog comments a day filled with misspellings, solecisms, etc. and you don't say shit. But someone makes a genuine attempt to point out subtexts that seem to have escaped most people's attention, and you decide it's time to pick on technicalities.
So go fuck yourself.
Thank you, #6.
And Elswinger... If you're talking about the "Why she gotta be a "CRACKHEAD?'" comment, that was 100% intentional.
Would it make you feel better if I said "Why does she have to be a 'crackhead?'"
Don't hate just 'cause everyone doesn't talk all purdy like you...
Bigger Picture @4:
Before we get in a pissing match, let me say that I basically agree with the larger point you make about the racial tone of the article. It sure makes me a little uncomfortanle.
Having said that, I suggest you re-read the article.
"A self-described 'low-bottom crackhead'" See, that's where they get the term crackhead from.
Full disclosure: I know Nature and the program she works for. That is how she describes herself. She says "my life is an open book" and it is to those who know and work with her.
Second, I've read the article twice now and can find no reference to her as a social worker. I see, "outreach worker," "women's program coordinator," and "case manager." Two others in the article are identified as social workers and one person says she wants to be, but Nature is not called one...so your sacred space is safe.
Finally, your assertion that "anyone who would hire someone who was so recently involved and did not yet have a history of sobriety and self-sufficiancy is completely irresponsible" shows that you have a profound lack of knowledge of community health outreach programs or peer education.
Such programs rely on hiring folks that are from the actual communities they serve -- including hiring ACTIVE drug users and prostitutes. Yes, these programs are politically controversial. They are, however, well researched and have been shown to be highly effective. In the case of HIV prevention with injection drug users, peer education through active users is a federally supported intervention. Even under the Bush administration.
I knew that she referred to herself as a crackhead in the article. It doesn't change the fact, though, that it was poor judgement, and a hint of racism, that led the P-I to include that quote in the article and, moreso, to refer to her as a crackhead in the HEADLINE. Also, they stated that she had an addiction to cocaine. While derived from the same substance, the two are mutually exclusive. In our society, though, we refer to any black drug addict as a "crackhead," regardless of their drug of choice. And that is wrong.
And, yes, the P-I did refer to her as a "social worker." Look at the caption under the photo. Also, throughout the section that discusses her "recruit" Whittington's desire to be a social worker, it is implied that she wants to be a social worker like Carter-Gooding.
I am quite familiar with the street outreach process and the importance of having people from the community-- in the community-- out in the field networking, dispensing information, and helping to create access to resources. It is the role of the street outreach worker to bring the clients to the case workers, the medical professionals, and the social workers... Not to provide the case management. Many CDP's are former drug addicts, many DV advocates were once abused themselves. Having lived the experience, being tapped into the community... It can be a very powerful and effective tool.
But if she was an active drug user and prostitute on July 3rd, 2001, spent 36th days in jail, and was then hired on September 11th, 2001 to be a street outreach worker, I stand by my position 100%-- she was not yet through her struggle towards sobriety or stable or self-sufficiant and completely ill-equipped to be anyone's case manager or advocate and she probably shouldn't have been doing anything other than focusing on her own healing and journey.
Perhaps the phrasing in this article should be cleared up-- if all she did for the first few years is pass out fliers and tell women about a place where they could go to clean up, to get support... Well, then, that's probably fine. I'm sure she could do that. But it is implied in the P-I's article that on September 11th, 2001 she was started her new career in human services, having conquered all of her demons in less than three months.
Having been in Seattle's social work arena for over a decade, I know first hand that there are many, many programs out there that are ill-equipped to handle the services that they claim to provide. Because of Washington's lax counseling certs ($40.00 and a four hour HIV class and you, too, can be a registered counselor!), there are many people in positions that they have NO business being in, and clients suffer as a result.
I don't know-- she may be excellent. But, from previous experience, I am hesitant and skeptical. I wonder what types of Best Practices she's using, what advocacy model she has implemented, if all of the WAC's are being studied and followed, who completes the checks and balances and oversees the case management, and what type of training and ongoing education is required.
I deal with clients every day who feel disenfranchised and do not trust the system, including the human services system, because of negative experiences they have had with service providers. It is with compassion and deep, deep concern for those that we seek to assist that I look at this story with a dubious eye.
The P-I made a bad call when they profiled her... The racist undertones of the article and the underlying implication that black women are bad mothers, drug addicts, and whores is entirely unacceptable. Way to reinforce and propogate negative stereotypes, P-I, way to go.
Bigger Picture,
As I said before, I don't want to start a pissing match over this.
You are correct about the caption for the photo. My apologies. I didn't pay any attention to that, but focused on the article. And nowhere in the article is there any hint that Nature regards, or refers to, herself as a social worker.
Your interpretation that Whittington wants to be social worker "like Carter-Gooding", is stretch at best and seems colored by your anger over the article itself.
Again I agree with you about the unfortunate tone of this article, but you seem to be blaming the subject of the article for its poor quality, rather than the writer and/or editor.
And, finally, although you sound like a dedicated and well-intentioned person, your comments about sobriety and the like suggest to me that you really don't get peer driven organizations.
It is not about best practices, or standards, or WACs. It is about working with individuals who are still actively using and who the mainstream big name social service agencies refuse to provide services to. The horror stories among street people are not about registered counselors (like they're going to be seeing them), but about so-called professional staff at clinics, emergency rooms, and housing providers.

IELTS listening test can be easy, go to this website to find out why. Of course, you need to enroll in a test preparation class to get some professional help in improving your skills. One of the most important lessons that you need to keep in mind of is that listening and hearing are different. Hearing only involves receiving information and sounds. You automatically, mindlessly let what you hear pass from one ear to another.
The former is different, as it requires you to focus and understand what you are hearing. It is a skill that you need to develop in order to communicate well, especially when you are trying to learn the English language.
