House Republicans plan 'new birth' this session
CHARLESTON – Republican legislators say they are preparing West Virginia to experience a "birth" during the legislative session.
GOP members of the House of Delegates held a caucus Tuesday to discuss a legislative agenda that would usher in a what they are calling a "New Birth of Freedom." The delegates outlined some priorities-to achieve a reform in economic growth, accountability, integrity, prosperity and freedom.
"That is an appropriate theme because our goal is to try to really make it possible for West Virginians to achieve their dreams," said Del. Paul Espinosa, R-Jefferson. "Unfortunately, in many respects, a lot of West Virginia's policies very much limit the ability for West Virginians to achieve success."
Republican delegates seek to reduce the tax burden on citizens; provide educational opportunities; evaluate policies that foster job creation; and expand the energy industry, according to a press release.
"I'm confident that West Virginia can enjoy the prosperity the rest of the nation enjoys as we become more competitive with our regulatory climate, our tax code and legal system," Espinosa said. "I'm hopeful that the House leadership will agree to take up our proposals most economists agree would improve our business climate so we can begin to reverse the economic declines we're experiencing in the state."
Espinosa said the caucus hopes to take steps to attract businesses to West Virginia. One proposal that may be introduced will be a bill to eliminate the business tax on equipment and inventory.
"It is widely regarded as an impediment to job creation in the state," Espinosa said. "Unfortunately, it makes us noncompetitive with our surrounding states."
Espinosa said his party hopes to use a portion of the additional excise taxes on Marcellus Shale production to offset the impact it would have on county governments.
The delegates hope to protect rights of citizens; promote responsible spending; ensure fair and honest elections and encourage ethical conduct in government officials, according to the press release.
"West Virginians have a right to expect their elected representatives set an example of honesty and integrity, that they will work to ensure our citizens every available opportunity to earn a good living in our state," said caucus chair Patrick Lane, R-Kanawha.
Espinosa said West Virginia's ranking 48th in nation for job creation was a motivating factor in pushing for economic growth.
"We will implement legislation that we believe will enhance our business climate and help stimulate the economy here so that not only will West Virginians have that great opportunity but obviously we'll have the resources to address a lot of the other challenges that West Virginia is facing."
Espinosa said during his freshman year in the legislature last year, he did not see as much accomplished as he had hoped, especially bills to improve the business opportunities. He said he hopes those bills will not be overlooked.
"I'm just very hopeful that the new leadership of the House will take up some of last year's legislation," Espinosa said. "I'm looking forward to the new session and trying to address some of those root causes that are adversely impacting our state."

Despite more 'healthy' options, little change in fast-food calorie counts
Nov. 29, 2012, HealthDay
By Barbara Bronson Gray
You'd like a salad? Want some fries with that?
A new study shows that providing more menu options on a fast-food menu doesn't mean the average diner chows down fewer calories.
Researchers found that although there has been a 53 percent increase in the total number of menu offerings over the last 14 years, the average calorie content of foods sold by eight of the major U.S. fast-food chains has not changed much. Continue reading
Kids pick nutritional Happy Meal when no toy offered with less healthy option: Study
Aug. 12, 2012, Global News
By Sheryl Ubelacker
Children are far more likely to pick a healthier fast-food meal when promotional toys are offered only with those menu options and not with less nutritional fare like burgers, fries, and a pop, a study has found.
Canadian researchers set out to see which McDonald's Happy Meals that kids age 6 to 12 would choose when toys were included with healthier menu combinations, but not with standard offerings that are typically higher in fat and salt. Continue reading

Listen up, Met fans...
When your beloved Amazin's take the field at 1 p.m. today against the St. Louis Cardinals, for one afternoon, you should slap on a red cap, wax poetic about Stan the Man and hope El Hombre has one hell of an afternoon with the stick.
Because the Metropolitans have a chance to get a little better today -- easier to root for as well -- and it can only happen should the Redbirds jump out to an early lead.
Citing two major league sources familiar with the Mets' thinking, Andy Martino of the Daily News is reporting GM Sandy Alderson could give Oliver Perez the boot should the putrid southpaw not show marked improvement over Sunday's stinker.
Perez gave up four runs in a two-inning outing in is spring debut, with three walks and an 84 mph fastball.
Look, with guys like Chris Young, Chris Capuano and Dillon Gee in camp, Oliver has no place in the starting rotation anymore. And it's clear this team is better off with Pat Misch as the longman out of the bullpen. These spring innings are better served elsewhere.
Perez rewarded the Mets for a three-year, $36M contract with exactly three wins and ERAs of 6.82 and 6.80 ERA.
Now, Met fans could get their pound of flesh. And one of the worst investments in franchise history may could get his comeuppance.
Can someone say "let's go Cardinals?"

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Believe it or not, this was my first reading of this book. It's poignant and its sad. I will debate the history of young boys still being kept alive in concentration camps......but it's also accurate in that youngsters often don't understand the differences and the world around them. I have no desire to see the movie however. This was as far as I would go with the story. It's a great discussion piece on many fronts.
This is the innocent story of Bruno son of a Nazi commander, they move from Berlin to run the Auschwitz POW camp.
Bruno is bored but soon after exploring the area he meets a young boy called Shmuel who just happens to live on the other side of the fence.
Bruno doesn't understand about Jews and Nazis he just wants a boy his own age he can play with.
He thinks all the prisoners wear pyjamas.
Spoiler alert
On Bruno's last day before he moves back to Berlin he volunteers to help Shmuel locate his missing father he climbs under the fence but Bruno and Shmuel are rounded up and marched to the Gas chamber.
Sad but powerful beautifully written book.
A very quick read that somehow sucks the reader in and make them deeply invested in the characters even though they are never really fleshed out well (aside from the main character and his sister). The ending, as expected, was heart-wrenching, but the circumstances of the ending was completely unexpected.
This was a great read, although a sad one. It's about a nine-year-old German boy named Bruno, who is unaware of everything going on in his country during World War II, and the Holocaust. His father gets a new job and they move to another part of Germany to a place he pronounces as Out-With, although the reader knows it as Auschwitz, the concentration camp, where millions of Jews were murdered. He sees the people in striped pajamas outside of his bedroom window, and wonders why they are there. He eventually meets a Jewish boy on the other side of the fence named Schmuel, and they become the best of friends. I know this story is a work of historical fiction, but I don't know if it is believable that a nine-year-old boy would be so naive as to not know what is going on outside of his window.
Some books classified as children's literature or YA fiction transcend the label, and are as enjoyable or interesting for adults as for younger readers. A larger number of children's books, however, are most suitable for children. That does not make them inferior literature, it just means they do what it says on the tin.
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, in my opinion, belongs to the latter category. It's not bad, but I have trouble understanding the fuss over this book. I would probably have liked it, perhaps even loved it, if I had read it 15-20 years ago. Now, whilst I did not dislike it, I found the style rather unengaging, and the story a bit too weak and predictable.
"Powerful and unsettling.......As memorable an introduction to the subject as The Diary of Anne Frank."
"Deeply affecting......Beautiful and sparely written"
Aunque el uso habitual de un texto como éste es describir las características de la obra, por una vez nos tomaremos la libertad de hacer una excepción a la norma establecida. No sólo porque el libro que tienes en tus manos es muy difícil de definir, sino porque estamos convencidos de que explicar su contenido estropearía la experiencia de la lectura. Creemos que es importante empezar esta novela sin saber de qué trata. No obstante, si decides embarcarte en la aventura, debes saber que acompañarás a Bruno, un niño de nueve años, cuando se muda con su familia a una casa junto a una cerca. Cercas como ésa existen en muchos sitios del mundo, sólo deseamos que no te encuentres nunca con una. Por último, cabe aclarar que este libro no es sólo para adultos; también lo pueden leer, y sería recomendable que lo hicieran, niños a partir de los trece años de edad.
Escolhi ler este livro porque consegue abordar a época Nazi de uma forma simples, não deixando, no entanto, de ser cruel e realista. Foca a inocência de duas crianças, que apesar de pertencerem a culturas diferentes, conseguem viver uma amizade inocente num mundo ignorante. Recomendo-o pois ele consegue transmitir que somos todos seres humanos e que devemos ser respeitados independentemente dos nossos ideias, costumes e cultura, porque se não o fizermos podemos magoar quem realmente amamos.

This work was set in Berlin, 1942. When Bruno returns home from school one day, he discovers that his belongings are being packed in crates. His father has received a promotion and the family must move from their home to a new house far far away, where there is no one to play with and nothing to do. A tall fence running alongside stretches as far as the eye can see and cuts him off from the strange people he can see in the distance. But, Bruno longs to be an explorer and decides that there must be more to this desolate new place than what meets the eye. While exploring his new environment, he meets another boy whose life and circumstances are very different to his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has devastating consequences. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is now a major motion picture (releasing in November 2008).

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Reid Fragel said it was his idea, but Urban Meyer readily agreed. The junior tight end in 2012 will be a senior offensive tackle.
"I'm looking forward to it, I'm not upset about it," Fragel said of the move. "I talked to Urban and he's all for it, so if he's on board, I am, too."
The move for Fragel, a 6-foot-8, 280-pounder, has been a theory mentioned by some since he arrived on campus. The switch is far from a shock, but watching how players move around or change in the shift from the Jim Tressel/Luke Fickell style to the Urban Meyer way should make for an interesting off-season.
Defensive lineman Johnathan Hankins is among the players who has already mentioned that he expects to be lighter. How will players such as running back Jordan Hall and receiver Corey "Philly" Brown fit into Meyer's style of spread offense, maybe by both being more like running back/receiver hybrids?
Fullback Zach Boren could shift to more of an H-back role, lining up as a lead blocker in the I-formation far less often. Two players who didn't make this trip -- running back Rod Smith and receiver T.Y. Williams -- also have to see what their futures hold. Smith missed the team charter, while Williams, from Shaw High School, was suspended because of a violation of team rules. The OSU offensive line silhouette could be a little lighter and leaner.
Fragel could be ideal. He said he'd like to get to 295 or 300 pounds to play tackle. Expect him to get right into the mix to start. Starting tackles Mike Adams and J.B. Shugarts are graduating. Sophomores Andrew Norwell and Jack Mewhort, the starting guards at the end of the season, both have tackle experience, but the Buckeyes probably need at least one to stay inside.
Line depth is a problem, and Fragel looks like an answer. He didn't catch any passes in Monday's 24-17 Gator Bowl loss, in which he started in the absence of Jake Stoneburner, leaving him with five catches this season and 14 in his career. But he's ready to give up that part of the game.
He thinks that the Buckeyes could use him to help with the offensive line depth, and he believes it's his best chance to make it in the NFL.
"It's something that needs to happen," Fragel said.
The senior non-seniors: Every year it's difficult for the players who redshirted to watch the teammates from their class who did not redshirt move on and graduate.
For the Class of 2008, their experiences will be vastly different. That class, headlined by Terrelle Pryor, came in with a lot of hype and expectations. Now players such as Mike Brewster, Mike Adams, DeVier Posey and Andrew Sweat are going out after this tough season. But eight redshirts should be returning to get one year of Meyer while trying, in some way, to do what this class set out to do.
"When we came in as a class, we wanted to win it all and win Big Ten championships, and this year was just not how we expected it to go," said tight end Jake Stoneburner, one of those redshirt juniors. "You're angry a little bit and disappointed, but we'll learn from it and put all our anger and all that toward next year."
The other seven redshirt juniors expected back are linebacker Etienne Sabino, safety Orhian Johnson, cornerback Travis Howard, defensive lineman Garrett Goebel, punter Ben Buchanan, safety Zach Domicone and defensive end Nathan Williams. Those fourth-year juniors are always the ones who may more likely lean toward an NFL jump if they are ready.
Stoneburner, who missed the Gator Bowl after having arthroscopic surgery on his left knee the week after the Michigan game, said he isn't 100 percent certain he'll be back, but expects to be. Stoneburner said he hurt his knee in Ann Arbor, and that an MRI originally showed a torn ACL. But he said an arthroscopic procedure showed that wasn't the case, and his injury required five to six weeks of recovery. He tried to push it this week to be ready in less than four weeks, but he couldn't pull it off.
Williams, out since the season opener against Akron, also confirmed that he will return and hopes to be ready after major knee surgery.
Coaching staff: Only two spots have yet to be officially announced on Meyer's new staff, which could become official Tuesday. According to several reports, both hires are expected to come from Notre Dame, with Tim Hinton coming aboard as the tight ends coach and Ed Warinner with the offensive line.
Warinner was also the run-game coordinator for the Fighting Irish. Meyer had said previously that he planned to add offensive staff with expertise in something other than the spread offense.

The Women's Center of Southeastern Michigan, long a source of personal and career counseling for women who may have few other resources, has closed its doors.
Begun in 1977 as Soundings: A Center for Women, the center suddenly stopped offering services June 11 after its board met the day before to discuss finances. The closing comes after the loss of three significant grants this year, said Jennifer Cornell, a member of the board. The grants, all from family foundations, totaled $55,000, she said.
While some services offered at the Women's Center can be found at other area organizations, there is no where else where they are offered in a holistic, single-stop and woman-focused environment, Cornell said. "No one else in our county does what we do." Also, all services were offered on a sliding fee scale. "No one was ever turned away for their inability to pay," she said. The center was located at 510 S. Maple in Ann Arbor.
In the end, it was finances that closed the center, which had an annual budget of roughly $325,000, said Cindy Straub, board president.
The center is working with the 60 clients it was servicing when it closed, Straub said. "That's a huge priority." Other peer non-profits have been stepping up, she said, to help both clients continue counseling and place the eight social work student interns so they can complete their programs.
The closing will leave a gap in services for women in need. "Many of these women don't have transportation, or are working two or three jobs. There are pockets of service at other organizations, but nothing this comprehensive," Cornell said. "It's never just one thing: It's 'I'm getting a divorce, I don't know how to balance a check book, I need a job and I'm falling apart.'"
The Women's Center offers personal counseling, divorce support, job coaching and tax preparation instruction. It is officially known as the Jean Ledwith King Women's Center of Southeastern Michigan, named after the Ann Arbor activist attorney, although King was not a founder of the center.
In addition to the loss of services, the four full-time staff members were also laid off, Cornell said, including the interim executive director, director of operations and two long-time social workers. There were also social work interns from Eastern Michigan University and the University of Michigan along with volunteers.
While fundraising has become increasingly difficult, the closing still came as a surprise, Cornell said. "It's been a constrained environment. Fundraising is tough. People, businesses and foundations have cut giving. It's a different time."
In the past 14 years, since it was reorganized into the Women's Center of America (later changed to Women's Center of Southeastern Michigan), the center has served more than 5,000 clients and trained 160 interns. "The center has been a last stop for many women and their families," Straub said. "There's going to be a huge hole."

Once again, Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX ) steps out of its comfort zone. It seems the world's largest coffee retailer is bent on getting its siren-branded products into every market it can. In an attempt to tap into the $8 billion energy-drink market, Starbucks revealed a new product line of energized beverages made from natural juice and green coffee extracts. Sounds great, but is the java giant running in too many directions at once? Let's take a closer look at how innovative products play into Starbucks' long-term strategy.
Drink to your wealth
The perky concoctions hit stores next month and will be called Starbucks Refreshers. The move to energy drinks is a natural fit for Starbucks. Energy beverages are the fastest-growing category within the consumer-packaged goods segment, which means the coffee chain would be stupid not to make a play for the space.
The company has moved into other new categories recently as well, including the $3.4 billion cold-crafted juice market. Its foray into juicier territory came last November when Starbucks bought Evolution Fresh, a premium juice company. Just four months after acquiring the juicer for a cool $30 million, Starbucks opened the first Evolution Fresh store in Bellevue, Wash. In addition to made-to-order juices, the new format stores offer nutritious wraps, salads, and soups.
If this were any other company I'd be worried that jumping into health foods may distract from the core business. Yet because it's Starbucks we are talking about, I'm confident in the company's ability to expertly execute new product launches and store openings.
Products from the company's new Evolution Fresh retail chain will also be sold in grocery stores and traditional Starbucks locations nationwide. This type of smart distribution will help the company increase revenue in consumer-product goods.
Stiff competition
Bringing fresh juices, wholesome foods, and energy cocktails into the Starbucks family puts the company on the fast track to becoming a leader in the $50 billion health and wellness sector. However, moving into new markets also means new competition for the coffee retailer. Starbucks will have to contend with Monster Beverage (Nasdaq: MNST ) for share of the alternative-soda market. That's no easy task, considering the beverage company currently claims 36% of the markets total sales volume. Still, if anyone can break Monster's momentum in the space, it's Starbucks. The brewer's coffee drinkers are unflaggingly loyal to the SBUX brand and will likely follow the company into these new market segments.
Meanwhile, Starbucks' entry as a health-food brand with Evolution Fresh could spell trouble for Jamba Juice (Nasdaq: JMBA ) . The fresh juice and smoothie chain was just starting to reverse years of revenue decline, after new product offerings helped Jamba boost margins and even stave off competition from fast-food heavyweight McDonald's (NYSE: MCD ) . In 2010 analysts worried that Mickey D's push into smoothies could threaten Jamba's market share. So far that hasn't happened.
However, the McCafe concept does challenge Starbucks by offering specialty coffees, including frozen Frappes and real-fruit smoothies at a fraction of the cost. Nevertheless, Starbucks' new Evolution Fresh products fulfill more of a lifestyle choice than a convenience factor. Another advantage for Starbucks is the fact that it owns the Evolution Fresh retail stores. As my Foolish colleague Austin Smith pointed out, Jamba Juice mainly runs on a franchised model, which tends to be less profitable than corporate-run locations.
I'll take that to go
Clearly the odds are tipped in Starbucks' favor. Widening its circle to include businesses outside of coffee will undoubtedly strengthen Starbucks' position as one of the world's leading brands. I hate to be redundant, but I expect shares of Starbucks only to get more expensive as time goes on, which is why Starbucks is one of my favorite CAPScall plays to date.
While the stock isn't cheap, I think this growth story is just getting started. The company's venture into India puts another market in play for the international coffee house. Given Starbucks' potential for record earnings growth, I'm betting the stock soars to new highs in the year ahead. Starbucks isn't alone in its ability to dominate new markets. However, choosing the right stocks can be challenging. That's why I want to introduce you to the Motley Fool's free report, titled: "3 American Companies Set to Dominate the World."

Former Boston Red Sox outfielder Cody Ross was one of the few bright spots on an otherwise disappointing 2012 team. However, contracts negotiations between Ross and the front office fell through in the offseason, leading the Red Sox to go in another direction.
Friday, during an interview with WEEI's Mut & Merloni Show, Ross, who is in town with his new team, the Arizona Diamondbacks, discussed the negotiations, saying that he actively wanted to return to Boston, but the team had balked on the opportunity to sign him to a long-term deal.
However, after seeing the team hand out a three-year deal to outfielder Shane Victorino and another (at the time) three-year deal to Mike Napoli, Ross says that the team was not honest to him during negotations when they said they didn't want to make such a commitment to a player.
"Basically they lied to my face," Ross said. "At that point, I kind of got a bad taste in my mouth and wanted to move on, and that was it."
Ross has made it a point during the offseason to say publicly that he wanted to return to Boston for another season. At the time, Ross had become well-liked on an otherwise loathed team, hitting .267 with 22 home runs in 130 games during the 2012 season.
Later in the season, when it became evident that Ross was not going to be unloaded at the trade deadline, it seemed that the outfielder would remain in Boston for some time. Even when the team failed to immediately lock him up early in the offseason, there was a sense that the sides were simply looking for the right deal.
In truth, they were. However, the sticking point quickly became the length of the deal. During the interview, Ross said that he was seeking a three-year deal while GM Ben Cherington seemed set on sticking with a two-year contract. Despite his attempt to hash out a deal on what he believed were fair terms, he couldn't get the team to budge.
"Once I got into free agency, I didn't drive the price up or do anything that would possibly affect me coming back here," Ross said. "I just wanted fair value and fair years. They weren't willing to go there — for whatever reason, I have no idea.
Ross now believes that his public admission that he wanted to stay in Boston lost him leverage in negotiations.
This isn't the first time that the team has played hardball with a player after he's admitted his preference to stay with the team. The same issue occurred in the contract negotiations that ultimately led to former Red Sox starter Pedro Martinez leaving town.
In another interview with WEEI, Martinez later admitted that he likely hurt himself in negotiations by expressing his desire to stay in Boston.
"Why did I leave? Because I made a mistake before the negotiations," Martinez said to WEEI back in February. "Now that I'm experienced, I'll suggest to anybody that even if you are dying to stay in a city, just don't admit that openly. Because when I did say my best interest is to stay in Boston, I think Theo [Esptein] or [Larry] Lucchino, they knew that I wanted to stay in Boston. They offered me whatever the smallest amount could be. And that was a mistake. If I don't open my mouth so early, they don't know whether I want to leave or not. So, they would probably take that into consideration."
Now a pitching consultant with the Red Sox, Martinez seems to have restored his relationship with the front office. For now, it appears that rebuilding that bridge with Ross is a long ways away.

But that was only a small part of the story for the Caldwell school. Flexing its overall muscle, Mount St. Dominic also received a victory in the 100 dash from Nicole DeStefano and scored in 13 of 16 events en route to a landslide victory in Non-Public B, the program's first outdoor crown, yesterday at Frank Jost Field in South Plainfield.
Mount St. Dominic utilized nine girls to chalk up an even 100 points and beat runner-up Eastern Christian by 48.
``At the end of winter season, after we won the Non-Public B title indoors, we got a lot of athletes out and we started thinking we might have a pretty good team,'' said senior Ashlynn Fields, who's headed for Boston College. ``This is a great accomplishment for our team, especially for us seniors because it's our last meet. So it's a sad time but it's a happy one, too.''
McCurdy won the 3,200 in 10:51.76, whose seen her personal best dip from 11:07 in the last three weeks. DeStefano won the 100 dash in 13.36.
And the foursome of Amanda Corbosiero (59.3), Alana Herran (59.6), Fields (59.5) and McCurdy (1:00) won the 4x400 relay in 4:00.87, breaking the meet record of 4:02.72 set by Red Bank Catholic in 1997.
McCurdy was especially pumped about her 3,200 victory because it came on the heels of finishing second in the 1,600 the night before in 5:00.03 – a mark which made McCurdy wince because her goal was to break five minutes.
``It feels awesome to win a state title. I'm still in shock about my time,'' McCurdy said. ``I just put too much pressure on myself last week at sectionals to get under five in the mile and things didn't go well. I was disappointed to not break five mintues (on Friday) but my goal for the mile was just to score points for the team.
``The girls went out very fast today,'' McCurdy said. ``I've been splitting 5:38, 5:39 for the mile and getting negative splits from there. Today I hit the mile in 5:27 and I felt great. I think my five-minute mile gave me a lot of confidence. As a team we push the third 800 in the 3,200, and I thought today if I die, I die, but I didn't and I couldn't be happier with the result.''
Three girls who doubled up on state titles were Morris Catholic's Marissa Evans in the 200 (25.82) and 400 (59.36), Eastern Christian's Kristen Traub in the 800 (2:15.29) and 1,600 (4:58.42) and Morristown-Beard's Tatiana Johnson in the shot put (43-5 ¼) and discus (122-9).
Evans' double represented the first for a Morris Catholic girl at state since Vanessa Lewis (now Vanessa Benfatti, the Mount Olive head coach) won the Parochial B 100, 200 and 400 in 1995.
Traub's double was the first for an Eastern Christian girl. Her 1,600 victory from Friday was her second straight in the event and a Passaic County record, shaving down the 4:58.76 which DePaul's Alyssa LaGuardia set in 2010.
Morristown-Beard's Johnson earned her second straight shot put title and became the first Mo-Beard girl to win two events at state.

Fairview after hours picks up steam
From the first day the Fairview Junior High after-school program opened its doors in November, it was flooded with students.
I actually anticipated that it would be smaller, but we started out with a bang, said program coordinator Nicole Settelmeyer.
The free program runs four days a week and combines an hour of tutoring with an hour of recreation. Students say they have benefited from the extra time at school.
My grades are better because I am actually doing my homework now, said ninth-grader Jenifer Thomas, who attends four times a week.
Alex Cole, an eighth-grader, goes twice a week because he enjoys the Web page design course. Already interested in computers, Cole said the things he has learned have helped him build a 24-page site.
I learned how to put in images, links, background colors, text and I am starting to learn Java Script, Cole said.
Forty to 50 students now attend regularly, Settelmeyer said, and activities include pottery, oil painting, Web design, calligraphy, cardio and strength training, math enrichment and board games. On Thursdays, there are field trips or movies.
Not every student is interested in athletics, and this program brings in other high-interest areas, said Kathy Wales, Fairview Junior High principal.
The programs goals are to provide role models and academic support, Wales said, and to give students a constructive place to socialize.
It is a safe place for them to be after school, Settelmeyer said. Some of them would be home by themselves, otherwise.
The program is funded by a $327,000 federal grant from the 21st Century Community Learning Center, with the money to be divided over three years, Wales said.
One of the biggest challenges the school faces will be how to continue after the money dries up.
That is our job, through the advisory board, to consider what our next steps will be, Wales said. We have to think ahead because people will depend on the program.
Fairview was chosen for the grant because it already had forged relationships with the YMCA and the Kitsap County Consolidated Housing Authority, according to Renee Overath, community education specialist for the Central Kitsap School District.
The program employs five assistants and 10 teachers, according to Settelmeyer.

The contemporary man is hanging around in the head.
Dance Your Way to God, Ch 7
"We have to accept the fact of our contemporary minds. We have to accept the fact that we are in the twentieth century. We have to accept the fact that our heads are cultivated too much. It is already the case, so there is no point in just crying and weeping and complaining. It is the case that our minds are cultivated too much and our hearts are almost neglected.
So even when we talk about the heart, it is just in the mind. Even when you say that your heart is here, that too is just an idea in the mind."

College of the North Atlantic students develop educational video game
© Submitted photo
Students of College of the North Atlantic's Video Game Design program have come up with a fun, yet educational way spread the word about boat safety. From left are students Kelsey Power, Claire Robbins, instructor Janice Hertel and student Andrew Cutler.
In an effort to prepare boaters for the upcoming season, students of College of the North Atlantic's Video Game Design program have come up with an educational way spread the word about boat safety.
When video game design instructor Janice Hertel assigned the subject as this year's project theme in the serious game design course that she teaches second-year students, she hoped the games could have a positive impact.
"A serious game is a game made for purposes other than entertainment, such as education or conveying an important message," said Hertel. "Each student in the course designed and developed an original mini-game. This collection of student games expresses the message of boating safety to the public through a variety of topics and game play styles."
The games were designed to be accessible to the public through the college website and played in an Internet Explorer web browser. Claire Robbins developed a game called Smooth Sailing and feels the story is especially relevant to those of college and university age.
"The primary goal was to educate players on the requirements and merits of specific pieces of boating equipment, while testing them on their knowledge of the subject," Robbins said.
Kelsey Power designed "point and click" style educational quizzes to teach players about safe and unsafe weather conditions for boating in her game Better Boating Weather. She says it provides a happy medium where learning objectives are combined with engaging and immersive game play.
Andrew Cutler created an arcade style game Wasted Tides, which deals with the serious issue of alcohol consumption while boating.
"Due to the serious and grave nature of boating while under the influence of alcohol, it was of the utmost importance to my serious messages that the game be unwinnable," Cutler said of his game.
There were seven video games created for the project and Hertel says significant external research went into each game.
"Students also conducted many play testing sessions and collected valuable feedback which they applied iteratively to improve the effectiveness of the educational value and the game play throughout the process," said Hertel.

Can We Make Healthful Foods Taste Good, or Even
Losing weight and eating healthier are national obsessions. Good psychological science helps us understand why the foods that are the healthiest are often not those we like the best. We understand that our food preferences are acquired by mechanisms that evolved to solve short-term nutritional problems. We are hard-wired to love sweet and salty because those preferences save our lives before experience can equip us to protect ourselves. We learn to love flavors that are paired with those experiences our brains are hard-wired to view as good. The result: we are quick to learn to love flavors associated with the energy dense foods that give us fuel to live. Sweet, salty, and fat — the triumvirate of substances that spell survival when we are young — ironically spell chronic disease as science gives us the tools to survive long after we produce our children. ...

Heyman says the Dodgers aren't in on Youk, looks more and more likely that he's coming here.
Pretty sure Youk is coming here. As far as we know, the Indians and Yankees were the only ones to offer him a contract. Seeing as how Reynolds is about to sign with the Indians, we win

New York Yankees
I wouldn't have minded signing Reynolds to the 1 year / 6M deal he signed with the Indians. The guy can mash and that's a good value deal.

The whole potential Youk to the Yankees situation reminds me of the Wade Boggs to the Yankees, years ago. That worked out alright for us. I don't mind this for one year.
Seriously, that deal is a steal compared to double for Youk! There is no way that Youk will have twice the production of Reynolds. I wanted Reynolds here...Originally Posted by nyyfan4life:24666414

Members of the Richmond Action Group and supporters tackled the Rainbow Ride in February to raise funds for Bible work in Vietnam.
The ride, which begins near St Arnaud in Nelson Lakes National Park, takes riders 106 kilometers over New Zealand's highest public road and finishes in the Canterbury town of Hanmer. The unsealed road, stream crossings, arduous climbs and fast descents all add to the challenge.
Twenty riders participated, most completing the full distance. Riders either made donations or raised sponsorship to support the printing and distribution of Bibles in Vietnam, where exciting opportunities are opening up for Bible Society work.

HERSHEY — The Derry Township School Board voted to hire a second study hall monitor by a 4-3 majority during Monday's board meeting.
The board traditionally had hired study hall monitors to free up teachers for classroom work, preparation and professional development, but it decided to end the practice a couple of years ago for budgetary reasons. Teachers have been covering the study halls.
At an earlier meeting, the board agreed to hire one part-time study hall monitor, but at Monday's meeting Board Members Maryellen Sheehan, Julie Neal and Andrea Abruzzo were reluctant to spend the money.
Sheehan said she wanted to wait until the budget was more clearly defined. Abruzzo said she wanted to investigate alternatives.
Superintendent Joe McFarland said administrators would have to revise schedules for several teachers and some students if the second part-time monitor was not hired.
Board Member Brian Shiflett said he supported the hire, "because we are trying to achieve professional development of our high school teachers."

Major Todd Mills with the United States Army Reserves said it's about remembering what the flag stands for -- freedom.
Stuart Billey, VFW state adjutant, said Memorial Day is a day to stop and recognize all that veterans have dedicated to our country.
Mostly, though, Memorial Day is a way to say thank you.
And, all of us owe our country's soldiers at least that, they said.
What do you think? Are you thankful? Why?
Hear more from these soldiers below – and go to the comments section to see other reasons why our community is thankful and to leave your own thoughts on Memorial Day.
Salazar said Memorial Day became more meaningful to him throughout his time in the service. He joined the United States Air Force in 1985 and went into the Air National Guard in 1992.
"I think of those who have laid the groundwork before us. I looked at the former people who have served our country and what they have done for our country," said Salazar, 46. "I hope that (people) kind of reflect on that and thank those who continue to give us those freedoms."
Salazar spent time serving overseas in Israel, Romania, Sicily, Spain and England as well as the prisons in Guantanamo Bay. He's now chairman of the Veterans Committee at University of Michigan-Flint.
The men and women serving before him helped the country become what it is today, he said.
Billey, VFW state adjutant, said Memorial Day is really a day to recognize the sacrifice and dedication veterans had for our country.
"Don't let what they've done to sacrifice, all they did, go unnoticed or unrecognized. Take a bigger interest in what the veterans do, the attitudes they possess," Billey said. "When you see a flag in a parade, they always stand up even when no one else is."
Next time you see man or woman who has served in the military, simply thank them, Billey said.
Mills joined the United States Army Reserves 24 years ago and he holds close to his heart the pride of serving his country.
Memorial Day for Mills is an extra chance to remember and appreciate all the dedication of the military men and women who have come before him.
"I take what I do seriously. The way of life we have is because of the military people we do have serving," said Mills, a Fenton Middle School science teacher. "I tell the kids right at the beginning what the flag means. To me it's a sense of pride that we have a country that we have the right to disagree and to speak up."
Mills' job in the Army Reserves is to train soldiers in infantry skills.
Mills hopes that as a community, people take time to reflect what service members do, reflect on how they serve the country and the job they've done over the years.
There is still a lot of pride and community support for the troops and veterans, Mills said. There are always way to continue to the support veterans and those who are still serving, such as writing letters and donating to groups who help military men and women and their families.
"During this memorial time if you come across a soldier, shake their hand and tell them thank you," Mills said.

I am very excited, I have just finished my first bag!! woohoo. It's a very simple yacht design, hence the blog title of "anchors away!"
Things have been moving since yesterday. I have contacted a designer to design a logo and banners for the shop sites and I've created a Facebook page for Kate's Twirl. You can "Like" it in the widget to the right. Now that was a peculiar thing to set up – took me a while to fathom out. Theoretically it is quite simple, but in practice I couldn't get the link right – you'd think that you'd just copy the url at the top of the page when you're in it, but no, that wasn't the right one. In the end I followed a link to my newly created FB page from an email which they sent me and then, there at the top was the correct url…. I must have been in some kind of admin page rather than the public page.
I had a job interview today, for a "proper" job. The role is Employment Executive which basically means advisor in employment law and human resources. The company offer ad hoc and retainer services of HR and Employment law advice to small and medium sized firms for whom employing the full gamut of HR employees isn't a cost effective solution. The business is run by a lovely woman, whom I would really like to work for, and who is willing to allow me to be part time initially so that I won't have to let Loop down. I'm getting ahead of myself – I'm not the only one being considered but I think the interview went well. Fingers crossed!
The journey there was over an hour and I was in the interview for about an hour and twenty, so I didn't get home till around 4:30pm. After a cuppa and a snicky snack snoo whilst watching this week's True Blood, I set to work on the first ever Kate's Twirl bag! I have several ideas buzzing around, but decided to start simple with the yacht.

LSU and Syracuse have formally announced their home-and-home series to begin with the Tigers visit to the Carrier Dome Sept. 26, 2015. Syracuse will return the game in Tiger Stadium on Sept. 9, 2017.
The two sides have been in discussion for at least a month, as NOLA.com previously reported.
"This is another attractive non-conference series that our fans will enjoy and our football program will benefit from," LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said. "To be able to bring LSU football to the northeast part of the country for a football game will be a unique experience and then to have Syracuse return the trip to Tiger Stadium in 2017 will be a nice addition to our home schedule."
LSU is 1-1 all-time against Syracuse with both contests coming in bowl games. LSU beat Syracuse, 13-10, in the 1965 Sugar Bowl in New Orleans and then dropped a 23-10 decision to the Orange in the 1989 Hall of Fame Bowl (now Outback Bowl) in Tampa.
LSU will open the 2015 season with a home game against McNeese State. The teams played one other time, in 2010 when the Tigers posted a 32-10 victory in Tiger Stadium.
LSU recently announced future non-conference home-and-home games with UCLA and Arizona State. The Tigers will open the 2014 season against Wisconsin in Houston and then face the Badgers at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisc., in 2016.

GRAND RAPIDS -- On a normal day in the operating room, West Michigan surgeon Clifford Jones sees his share of broken bones and crushed limbs.
But wounded soldiers from Iraq or Afghanistan with blast injuries, embedded shrapnel or the grisly aftermath of suicide bombs are something else.
Jones, 43, completed a two-week volunteer surgical stint earlier this year at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, where he operated on dozens of soldiers.
"People would ask me if I had a good time," he said. "I don't know if I consider it a good time. I do consider it a very rewarding and very interesting time."
Given the sacrifice of those he treated, the orthopedic trauma surgeon said he was honored to offer his skills.
His time in Germany included work on soldiers such as Army Spc. William Treacy, 22, who entered Landstuhl with shattered elbows after he was knocked from his Humvee by a January explosion in Afghanistan.
"He fixed me up and, now, I'm doing pretty good," said Treacy, who is recuperating in Kalamazoo and hopes to return to active duty within six months.
Jones' assignment in Germany was booked through the Orthopaedic Trauma Association, which arranged in 2007 to send volunteer teams of surgeons to Landstuhl to help treat wounded soldiers.
The purpose is twofold: The volunteer surgeons learn from the experience by confronting complex arrays of injuries they don't normally see. The military gains from the expertise surgeons such as Jones bring to the operating table.
It is one of the undisputed benefits of war: Most conflicts give rise to new medical advancements, from the link between mosquitoes and malaria that came from the Spanish American War to the widespread use of helicopters for evacuations in the Vietnam War.
Jones saw just about every kind of injury war can inflict.
His work included amputations, removing dead tissue, removing pellets left by a suicide bomb and treating soldiers who fractured limbs after being launched into the air by roadside bombs.
"There were a couple instances where guys were launched 30 or 40 feet off the turrets of Humvees or Strykers. You get broken limbs, on occasion fractures of the pelvis or spine."
His shifts at Landstuhl began about 6:30 a.m. and would continue until 5:30 p.m., but some lasted as late as midnight.
"We just went until we were finished," Jones said.
His toughest case was a soldier in his mid-20s, a
6-foot-8, 250-pound former Division I football player struck by a suicide bomb in Iraq. He arrived at Landstuhl the day after he was hit.
The soldier had a blast wound and fracture in his right arm, the funny bone in his left arm shattered into a dozen pieces, pellets embedded in his left hip, damage to his right knee that required amputation, a fracture of the right femur and a head injury. Surgeons also removed skin and tissue from the suicide bomber that had lodged in the soldier.
The operation took more than 12 hours.
In the off-hours chatter, Jones said there might have been disagreement over how the war had been run. That all went away when they entered the operating room.
"There were varying political viewpoints. Once you got your cleats on, your game face on, everyone was on the same team."
Army Sgt. Jason Cherry, 27, is grateful Jones decided to do his part.
"It's a great idea," said Cherry, a Grand Rapids resident who was wounded in Iraq in April 2006 when he was hit by a sniper's bullet in his right arm, shattering 3 inches of bone.
Jones operated on Cherry in September in West Michigan to treat an infection in his arm before volunteering for the program at Landstuhl.
Cherry estimated he has had at least 15 surgeries on his arm, which is nearing complete recovery.
For Cherry, Jones was part of a medical team that put in practice techniques that might not have been possible a decade ago, including the transplant of bone protein generated outside his body.
"If it was 10 years ago, they said I would have lost the arm," Cherry said.

Eminent domain bill draws debate
A bill granting eminent domain powers to Cascade Water Alliance is before the Senate Judiciary Committee in Olympia and has caused concern among Lake Tapps community members.
The measure is Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1561, which passed the House 77-17 Feb. 14. Both 31st District members of the House of Representatives, Dan Roach, R-Bonney Lake and Chris Hurst, D-Greenwater, voted against the bill.
The bill's title is, "Granting authority of a watershed management partnership to exercise powers of its forming governments."
The bill allows Cascade to use the power of eminent domain or condemnation to build a waterline from Lake Tapps to Bellevue.
Cascade is in negotiation with Puget Sound Energy to purchase the reservoir and convert it into a drinking water utility.
Mike Gagliardo, director of planning for Cascade, said the bill "is very straightforward and is for our utility purposes only. It puts us on a par with the other water utilities in the state."
Lake Tapps Community Councilman Leon Stucki said the community is concerned because the bill will likely receive no public hearing and could move quickly to the governor's desk.
"Last year the same bill came up and it caught everyone by surprise," Stucki said. "Cascade promised they would discuss it with us this year so we wouldn't be caught by surprise again. To be honest we were not trying to block it, but we wanted to understand it."
Stucki said one of the community's concerns is they want assurance the reservoir and the area around it will not be altered by Cascade claiming property.
"The language (in the bill) needs to be more explicit," Stucki said. "It's way too broad."
Another concern is the bill requires only 30 days notice to property owners before the process of condemnation begins.
The bill states the entity will, "Provide notice to the city, town, or county with jurisdiction over the subject property by certified mail thirty days prior to the partnership board authorizing condemnation."
Stucki said there is concern about the condemnation powers being granted and there is no representation from the Tapps area on Cascade's board.
Sen. Pam Roach, R- Auburn, is a member of the Judiciary Committee and she alerted the community about the quick movement of the bill.
The reason the bill will not receive a public hearing is complicated. The language from a Senate bill that stalled in the Rules Committee was inserted into House Bill 1561, using a legislative maneuver call "amending with a striker." The engrossed House bill was then passed in the House.
Roach said since the Senate bill had previously had a public hearing, Sen. Adam Kline, D-Seattle, who chairs Judiciary, decided not to give the bill another public hearing.
Kline did not return a Friday phone call to his office for comment on the issue.
"There needs to be more protection for those who are going to have their property taken," Sen. Roach said. "But I think this is going to pass."
The senator hopes she will be able to insert an amendment concerning more notification to property owners.
"I think that is a victory," she said. "I'm told that Sen. Kline is willing to accept one of the amendments. Cascade worked all summer long to line this bill up."
Roach said she will be able to introduce amendments in an executive session that was scheduled for Tuesday.
If the amendment is accepted the bill will return to the House for concurrence.
Hurst said there is a legal question whether Cascade can use eminent domain powers under their current organization.
"As a general rule I am against eminent domain being broadened," Hurst said. "Cascade has not always been a good neighbor with the community and I'm not sure Cascade has earned eminent domain authority. But the primary focus is on the issuance of the (drinking water) permit by DOE (Department of Ecology). The lake and the lake levels are critical."

Polar Vortex Causes Actual S**t Storm In Chicago
Polar Vortex Causes Actual S**t Storm In Chicago
Some paranoid, skeptics have called the Polar Vortex a term made up by Climate Change Alarmists to further their agenda. That was debunked by the World's Most Loveable Former Fat Guy, Al Roker. You could ask the people at the Chicago Ad Agency Leo Burnette about how the Polar Vortex affected their workday recently when it caused pipes to burst in their office, raining feces upon their cubicles. In a statement, Leo Burnette said the coloration of the water was caused by "dust". But they're an add agency, so their job is to put a pretty face on everything. Even Shit Water.

Now in ruins, the once stately and well kept Green Island Lighthouse had a unique view of the Great Peshtigo Fire on the night of October 8, 1871. Built in 1863, at the height of the American Civil War, and first lit on October 1st of that year, the Cream City (another name for Milwaukee) white cream brick, two and a half story building warned passing ships from it's light atop the forty foot tower.
Samuel P. Drew was appointed the first lighthouse keeper. Lard (whale) oil, wicks and cleaning agents were carried up the tower each day to prepare and fuel the Fresnel lens by night. This steady light could be seen for up to 12 miles and marked the dangerous shallow underwater shoals at each end of the nearly 100 acre island.
The Family Settles In
Samuel lived on the island with his wife, Mary, and Frank, one of their six children, was born in the lighthouse on March 11, 1864. The family was unusual for lighthouse keepers in that they also bought land surrounding the building complex and engaged in extensive seasonal farming production, which was sold on the mainland. A fire in the lighthouse and tower complex in 1864 extensively damaged the house and tower. A temporary light station was set up during the rebuilding and the tower and family residence was restored before winter set in.
A Sad Year
The year 1869 was
an unusually active one for the island family,
and Frank remembered the excitement of a crew arriving at the island in
the summer to paint the entire station. Samuel Drew was
in the care of his lighthouse. It was his home. In the late Fall of
year, their three month old daughter, Anna, became ill. Mary was 44
old when this youngest child was born and had been having children for
21 years. The nearest doctor was in Menominee, Michigan, 6 miles away
the waters of Green Bay. It was a continuously rough and stormy season,
much worse than most years and the family was completely unable to take
Anna to shore or to bring medical treatment to her. Before there was a
break in the weather, Anna died and her parents buried her next to a
bush on the island. The following year they brought in a carved
to mark the spot. The gravestone and Lilac remain today on the island.
Snug Little Group
In the 1870 census, the lighthouse group included Frank Drew age 46, Chief Lighthouse Keeper who was born in Vermont; Mary Drew age 45, who was born in Pennsylvania; Hellen (sic) Drew age 22, assistant lighthouse keeper who was born in New York; George Drew age 19, born in New York; Kate Drew age 14, born in Wisconsin; Mary Drew, age 10 born in Michigan; Frank Drew, age 5 born in Wisconsin; Mary Tuttle age 26, a teacher born in New York, and Chase Johnson age 24, a laborer born in Sweden.
Year from Hell
The year of 1871 was remembered in Green Bay, as it was the year of the Great Peshtigo Fire. Green Island was far enough from the shore to escape the actual fires of the night of Sunday October 8. However, the entire area all the way out to, and beyond, the island was completely enveloped in thick choking smoke off and on for weeks before the final blaze. There had been a terrible extended drought that year and the lake level was low, which further exposed the dangerous rocks at either end of Green Island. Samuel had kept the light burning 24 hours a day for weeks at a time in an attempt to keep vessels clear of the island shoals, for there was no fog horn at the complex. It was an exhausting job that was shared by all members of the lighthouse family. Lives depended on their duty. Mary was a deeply religious person. Each evening she gathered the children for prayer. On her trips that year to the mainland she had heard of the itinerant preachings of the coming end of the world from friends on shore. With smoke so thick that she and her husband needed the island light during the daytime just to find home, like many others Mary could not help but wonder.
The early evening of October 8th was quiet. The lake was still and there seemed to be a light breeze from the south, which afforded a bit of relief from the ever present smoke. Samuel and two others had hauled gallons of oil, cleaning rags, new wicks and water buckets up to the top of the tower and had finished renewing the light for the present. It was hot, and they ate dinner later than usual. As she was putting the younger children to bed on the second floor, after evening prayers, Mary thought she noticed an unusual orange glow on the very distant shoreline to the southwest. With the smoke, it was faint and occasional, so she thought at first it might be a reflection or mirage, but it was the first time she had seen such a thing. Not much later, the wind grew stronger and became hot. It stung the lungs of those outside tending to the last chores of the day and soon, all those awake were watching the crimson shore through breaks in the smoke.
The whole shoreline to the southwest was ablaze. Between the clouds of smoke, flames could now be seen leaping high into the sky and racing northward across the still unburned treetops at lightning speeds. Burning embers began filling the sky over the island and dropping onto the wooden shingles of the lighthouse and outbuildings. Mary woke the youngest and brought them down to the kitchen where they read the bible and prayed as the older ones doused the embers that fell upon their home and light tower. Mary wanted to ready them all for escape, but there was nowhere visible to go. By this time the entire shoreline was in flames and the roar of the searing winds could be easily heard inside the brick building. Tornadic winds swept over the island and smoke so thick it was almost impossible to breath. The burning ash was now large chucks of burning timber carried on the ferocious winds. Was the prophecy coming true? Mary had been assistant lighthouse keeper before the births of her youngest two children, and took over the care of the light at the top of the 40 foot tower with the youngest, whilst the others battled to save the buildings. From this vantage point the whole world surely did seem at an end.
In the midst of it all, the light was virtually invisible to boats in the Bay. At 9 p.m. that night, the three-masted schooner GEORGE L NEWMAN ran up on one of the sharp shoals off the island, tearing it's hull and taking on water in the now tempestuous waves. Samuel assisted the crew to safety in the blinding smoke, super heated winds and burning ash through the very height of the fire. All were rescued and given safer refuge at the lighthouse. Hours later, which seemed an almost endless eternity, the winds changed course, coming out of the north. The smoke lightened and the shower of burning embers gradually ended. Most of the island was scorched and small fires still burned in the brush, but the people and buildings were in tact. A cold rain began to fall, chilling the air and people, and causing steam to settle over the land. From the shore and on the Bay, the light in the tower could again be seen.
Sunrise brought an austere scene to the eyes of the island inhabitants and guests. What had been thick evergreen covered shoreline the day before was now low black stubble, with dots of crimson fires here and there below billowing black clouds of smoke. The surface of the lake was covered with undulating black ash and burned timber, to the point that the water was nearly impossible to see. The family boat had burned and everyone did their best while secluded in the Bay. While they salvaged everything of value that they could remove from the wreck, the sailors stayed at the lighthouse for a week. Young Frank Drew remembered the night well. He went on to become a lake ship captain and later a lighthouse keeper, eventually returning to keep the light on Green Island. Frank was honored in life and in death for the many heroic deeds he had accomplished in saving lives during his career on the upper Great Lakes. It would seem that he was destined to follow in the footsteps of his pioneering lighthouse parents.
Green Island was part of Oconto County, Wisconsin until the very large county was divided into several smaller ones in 1879 eight years after the Peshtigo Fire.

Splenic and Adrenal Disorders
Laparoscopic Splenectomy in ITP, hereditary spherocytosis,
hemolytic anemia, and other ITP-like syndromes. (Photo shows accessory spleen as identified through the laparoscope.) We have performed more than 170 laparoscopic splenectomies, the largest series in the world. Results were published in the Annals of Surgery, October 1998 issue. The conclusion of this paper was that laparoscopic splenectomy for benign hematologic disorders is the gold standard when surgery is indicated.
Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy in Conn's Syndrome,
pheochromocytoma and adrenal adenomas. Photo shows cut specimen demonstrating characteristic golden yellow color of adrenal gland. This operation is performed in about an hour and patients can be discharged the following day. We have performed hundreds of cases since 1993, both nationally and internationally with minimal morbidity and no mortality.

Omaha Steak Sandwich

|1 Pound (1 Inch Thick)
|Steak sauce
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|1 Small, diced for 3/4 cup
|Jalapeno peppers
|3 Large, finely chopped to 3 tablespoons (With Seeds, Fresh Or Pickled)
|Finely chopped red onion

1. Brush both sides of the steak with the sauce, place in a shallow dish and cover. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the tomato, peppers, onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Wrap the rolls in foil.
2. Preheat the grill or broiler. Grill the steak over medium-hot coals, or broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat, for 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until the steak is the way you like it. During the last 5 minutes, place the rolls alongside the steak to warm.
3. Slice the steak diagonally across the grain, 1/4 inch thick. For each sandwich, stuff a roll with 1/4 of the steak slices (or arrange the steak on top of 2 toast triangles). Add 1/4 of the chili sauce. Serve with Chopped Tomato Salad and Oven-Fried Onion Rings.
