Raspberry Coulis:Wash the raspberries and drain in a colander. Reserve 8 raspberries and set aside. Place the remaining raspberries in a blender or food processor. Add the sugar and corn syrup. Puree until completely smooth. Pour the sauce into a bowl and refrigerate.
French Toast: Lay 4 slices of the bread on a flat surface. Trim away the crusts, if desired. Blend the cream cheese, marmalade, and zest in a small bowl with a fork or the back of a spoon. Divide and spread evenly on the bread, avoiding the edges. Place the remaining bread slices on top of the cheese and press gently to stick the slices together. You will have 4 thick sandwiches.
Place the eggs, half-and-half, Grand Marnier, sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Beat with a fork or a whisk. Dip the sandwiches into the mixture and allow them to soak for several minutes on each side.
Preheat the oven to 350º F. Place a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt 3 teaspoons butter on the griddle. Add the sandwiches and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, turning as necessary until golden on both sides. Transfer the French Toast to a baking pan. Add more butter to the griddle, if necessary, and cook the remaining sandwiches. Place in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes to finish cooking the interior.
To serve, spoon 3 tablespoons of the coulis onto 4 serving plates. Tilt and swirl to spread evenly on the plates. Place 1 French Toast atop the coulis on each plate. Dust with the powdered sugar using a sieve. Garnish with the mint sprigs, orange slices, and raspberries.
Raspberry Coulis makes about 3/4 cup
Serves 4

Dilled Triple Crème Cheese
Blend the Triple Crème Cheese and Crème Fraîche together in a bowl until smooth and well mixed. Stir in the zest, lemon juice, dill, Tabasco, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasonings. Refrigerate until serving time.
Potato Pancakes
Peel and grate the potatoes and then the onions using the grating blade of a food processor or by hand. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and add the onion, shallots, eggs, crème fraîche, cheese, flour, salt, and pepper. Stir all of the ingredients together. Do this as close to cooking time as possible so the potatoes do not change color or become watery.
Preheat oven to 400º F. Get out a baking pan large enough to hold 12 pancakes and set it near the stove. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 to 2 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet. Scoop out a heaping 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and place in the skillet. Using a spatula, shape the pancake into a round, smoothing the top and sides. Add 1 or 2 more pancakes to the pan, depending on the size of the skillet used. Cook for 3 minutes on one side, turn the pancake, and cook an additional 4 minutes, or until lightly browned on both sides. Remove the pancakes as they are cooked and put them on the reserved baking pan in a single layer. Wipe out the skillet if necessary and melt more butter to cook the additional pancakes. Continue until all are cooked.
Just before serving, place the baking pan with the pancakes in the preheated oven for 3 minutes to reheat them and finish the cooking.
To serve, spread 1 tablespoon of the Dilled Triple Crème Cheese on each warm pancake. Arrange the smoked salmon slices artfully on top and garnish with the dill sprigs. Garnish the plates with the diced bell peppers and chives.
Makes 12 pancakes about 3- to 4-inches.
Makes about 1 cup of Dilled Triple Crème Cheese.
Serves 12.

Cut 2 cups cherry tomatoes in half and place them cut side up on a lightly-oiled baking pan. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake at 250º F for 2 hours. (This could be done the day before.)
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a heavy, two-quart saucepan. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes, until tender but not brown. Add the rice and stir well to coat each grain of rice with the butter. Sauté the rice for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, or until it begins to become golden. Add 1/2 of the chicken broth. Stir as necessary to keep rice from sticking. Add another 1/2-cup stock when the liquid is almost completely absorbed. Repeat as necessary. After 12 minutes of stirring and adding broth, add the tomatoes. Stir well and cook for about 3 minutes longer. (The total cooking time should be about 15 minutes and the risotto should be somewhat runny at this point.) Check a rice grain to see if it is cooked by biting it, or by cutting it in two with a knife. It should be al dente and there should be a small, thin white line inside the grain of rice. When the rice is ready, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining butter and the Blanca Bianca. Season with salt and an abundant amount of fresh black pepper. Stir again and let the risotto rest for one minute. The excess liquid will be absorbed.
To serve, spoon the risotto into shallow bowls or onto serving plates. Distribute the fresh basil atop the risotto.
Serves 4

Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
Lay a sheet of phyllo dough out on a dry work surface. Brush the dough lightly and quickly with some of the melted butter. Place a second sheet of phyllo on top of the first sheet and brush it will butter. Repeat with the remaining 2 sheets. Cut the dough into 4-inch square pieces. Cover dough with a damp towel until ready to fill.
One by one, divide the Queso Blanco among the squares and fold over the sides and then the top and bottom of each square to make a little packet. Place the seam side down on a non-stick baking sheet (or alternatively, a baking sheet lined with buttered parchment paper), brush the packet with butter, make a tiny slit in the top, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the pastry is light golden brown.
Serve hot, straight out of the oven. These are great appetizers, especially with Beer, Margaritas and wines such as Riesling and Chenin Blanc.
Serves 12
Eggplant Stacks
Cut the eggplant crosswise into slices about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with salt on both sides. Place in colander over the sink or a bowl to drain for 30 minutes.
Preheat the broiler or grill to high. Adjust the rack so that it is 3 inches from the heat source.
Rinse off the eggplant slices with cold water, place on paper towels to drain, and pat dry. Brush 1 side with olive oil. Broil on a sheet pan in a single layer, oiled side up, for about 5 minutes, or until the slices are limp and golden brown. Turn over, brush the other side with oil, and continue to cook until golden brown. If grilling, cook on both sides, starting with the oiled side down. Brush the slices with oil before turning over. When limp and browned, remove from heat and place eggplant slices on a plate.
Preheat the oven to 350º. Lightly oil a shallow baking pan.
Make individual stacks. Place 1 slice of eggplant in the pan. Top with 1 slice of caciocavallo, 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce, and 1 basil leaf. Repeat the layering, leaving the basil off the top layer. Continue to make identical stacks until all the eggplant and cheese are used.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the Parmigiano. Turn the oven to broil and return the pan to the oven. Broil for 3 minutes, or until the cheese on top is golden brown and bubbling. Remove and let stand for 5 minutes.
To serve, place 1 stack on each serving plate. Top each with a basil leaf. Serve additional sauce on the side, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 4 to 6 stacks, depending on size of eggplant.
Serves 4 to 6
Grilled Mozzarella Bundles
Prepare a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill to high. Alternatively, the bundles may be pan-sautéed in a skillet over medium-high heat using small amount of olive oil.
Place a large pan of water over high heat and bring to a boil. Remove the leaves intact from the head of radicchio by removing the core and peeling the leaves off from the core upward. When the water is boiling, blanch the radicchio leaves by dipping them into the boiling water for about 5 seconds. Remove them with tongs and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. When cool, remove the leaves and place on paper towels to drain. They will be limp and pliable.
Slice the smoked mozzarella into 8 slices, about one ounce each. Wrap each slice of mozzarella with a slice of prosciutto and then wrap with a wilted radicchio leaf, taking care to completely enclose them. Secure each bundle with string, like tying a package. Brush each with olive oil. Grill the bundles over the prepared fire or cook in a skillet over medium-high heat for about three minutes on each side. Turn the bundles with tongs or a spatula so that they brown evenly, being careful not to pierce them. As they are cooked, remove them to a platter.
To serve, drizzle the pesto over the bundles and sprinkle with pine nuts or alternatively serve them with a green salad. Serve the bundles warm so that the mozzarella oozes out when they are cut open.
Makes 8 bundles and serves 4 to 8
3 large sweet potatoes (2 pounds)
3 large leeks
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick), cut into small pieces
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon leaves or 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
8 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1 cup milk
Peel the potatoes and thinly slice about 1/8 inch thick, using a knife or a mandolin. Set aside.
Cut the green tops off of the leeks on a diagonal, to expose more of the interior white part, and discard. Cut the remaining white part of the leeks into slices about 1/8 inch thick, discarding the root ends. Plunge the leeks into a bowl of cold water. Lift the leeks from water with your hands, shake to remove excess water, and place in a colander to drain. Repeat several times to remove all the sand and grit. (There should be about 3 1/2 cups of cut leeks.)
Preheat oven to 325º. Liberally butter a large, flat rectangular baking dish about 11 x 7 x 2 inches.
Overlap one third of the potato slices in a layer to cover the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the potatoes with a layer of leeks, using about one half of them. Dot with butter and sprinkle on one half of the tarragon. Distribute one-third more of the blue cheese over the leeks. Continue layering with the potatoes, the leeks, salt, pepper, tarragon, butter, and blue cheese, repeating until all ingredients are used. End with potatoes and crumbles of cheese on top. Pour the milk over the potatoes. Dot the top with the remaining butter.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the cheese on the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and place on a rack to cool for 15 minutes.to 6.
Serve immediately.

2 corn tortillas
1/2 round Christmas cheese, approx 4.5 oz
1/4 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
3 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat oven to 500 F.
Break the tortillas into pieces, place in the workbowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, and process until they become the texture of cornmeal. Break the cheese into pieces and add to the workbowl, add the cilantro, and process all until uniformly chopped. In the meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, saute the onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons olive oil until golden brown.
On a flat surface, using a sharp knife, cut almost through a pork tenderloin lengthwise from one end to the other. Open the pork tenderloin so that it is butterflied. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the onions and garlic along the center line from top to bottom. Place the tortilla/cheese filling atop the meat, making a big row of filling down the middle of the meat lengthwise from top to bottom. Fold one side over the other and secure the filling with skewers or toothpicks Tie the meat closed by wrapping twine and tying around the roast at intervals 1 inch apart. Rub the outside of the meat with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Place the roast, seam side up, in a small roasting pan or skillet.
Place in the oven and roast for about 45 minutes, until the temperature of the meat is 170F. Remove from heat, allow to rest for 10 minutes before cutting the meat. Dont be alarmed when some of the filling bulges out of the meat and falls into the pan while roasting. This browned filling will be most delicious part of all!
Slice the roast into 1/4 slices and serve topped with a bit of the bulging, browned filling. Serves 4 to 6.

3 cans whole hominy grits or 5 cups frozen hominy
1 fresh poblano chile
1 fresh jalapeño chile
1 small onion, unpeeled
1 clove garlic
1 dried ancho chile
1 dried arbol chile, if you want it hot (optional)
1/2 pound chorizo sausage (optional)
If using canned posole, just rinse and drain. If using frozen posole, boil in water for about 1 hour, or until tender.
Preheat the broiler on high. Adjust the rack so that it is 3 inches from the heat source.
Roast the poblano, jalapeño, onion, and garlic under the broiler. Turn using tongs until the skins are blackened. Remove from the oven and place in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam until cool. Remove the blackened skins, stems, and seeds, discard and coarsely chop.
In the meanwhile, remove the stems, seeds, and membranes from the dried chiles and discard. Toast the ancho and arbol chiles in a dry skillet over low heat, shaking and turning the chiles until softened and fragrant. Be careful not to burn. Remove, place in a small bowl, cover with hot water, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let them steep for 15 minutes to soften. Remove the chiles from the water, remove and discard the seeds, and coarsely chop. The chile arbol will be the hottest chile. (A whole pepper will be very hot. Use it accordingly.)
Preheat the oven to 350°. Coat a 2-quart baking dish with oil.
Cut the chorizo into rounds and brown in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and turn using tongs for 7 minutes, or until browned on both sides and completely cooked. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle the dried oregano over the chorizo.
Place the posole in a large bowl. Add the chiles, onion, and garlic, and stir to mix well. Add the chorizo and stir to combine. Add cilantro and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the posole into the baking dish. Sprinkle the cheese over the top. Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned.
To serve, garnish with sprigs of cilantro, slices of radish, and 1 lime wedge on the side.
Serves 6.

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell peppers
1 fresh jalapeño chile pepper, seeded and minced
2 ears fresh corn, kernels cut off the cob (1 1/2 to 2 cups)
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 375° F.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium skillet. Add the onions, garlic, bell pepper, and jalapeño and sauté about 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are beginning to soften. Add the corn and sauté for several minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
Sift the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt together into a large mixing bowl and set aside. Mix the buttermilk with 2 remaining tablespoons of the olive oil and the eggs. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and stir briefly to combine. Add the sautéed corn mixture and the cheeses and stir again to combine.
Heat a 10-inch round cast-iron skillet over a low flame and pour in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Swirl the skillet around so that the olive oil completely coats all parts of the pan, bottom and sides. If a cast-iron skillet is not available, oil a square (8 x 8 x 2 inch) or rectangular (11 x 7 inch) glass baking dish well with the olive oil. Pour in the corn bread batter.
Place in the oven and bake for 40 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into middle comes out clean and top is golden brown. (The cornbread in a glass baking dish will bake more quickly than in a cast-iron skillet, so begin checking after 40 minutes.) Remove the corn bread and let cool slightly in the pan on a rack before cutting and serving.
To serve, cut into wedges or squares.
Serves 6 to 8.

Asparagus, Tomato, and Scamorza Frittata
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté briefly, or until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the asparagus and stir-fry the vegetables, turning and tossing, until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper.
Preheat the broiler and adjust the rack to accommodate the skillet 3 inches below the heat source.
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add the water, Tabasco and salt. Beat with a fork until well combined. Place the skillet containing the asparagus over medium heat and add the eggs. Cook, without stirring, until the bottom browns and the eggs are just beginning to set on the top. Remove from the heat.
Arrange the mozzarella slices over the top of the eggs. Cover the top of the frittata with the tomato slices. Place the skillet under the broiler and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the tomatoes are browned. Remove from the oven and set aside on a rack to cool for 5 minutes.
Liberally sprinkle the top with freshly ground black pepper. Cut into 6 wedges and serve.
Serves 6

Roasted Chicken Stuffed with Ricotta
Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
Wash the chicken well and remove any visible excess fat. Pat dry with a paper towel. Season the cavity with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of the herbs de Provence. Place the lemon and onion in the cavity. Set the chicken aside.
Combine the ricotta, sage, basil, thyme, and rosemary in a small bowl and mix well. Separate the chicken skin from the breast, thigh, and leg meat by gently slipping your fingers and hand between the skin and the meat, take care not to rip the skin with your fingernails. Spread the ricotta mixture under the loosened skin and smooth the top of the skin with your fingers, to distribute in an even layer. Tie the legs of the chicken together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under. Rub the chicken with the oil and sprinkle abundantly with seasoning salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon of herbs de Provence. Set the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan just large enough to hold it.
Place in the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350ºF and roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour longer, basting with the pan juices every 15 minutes, until the juices run clear when chicken is pierced with the tip of a knife near the thigh. Remove the chicken from the oven and place on a cutting board or platter, covered loosely with foil, and let stand for 5 minutes before carving.
Drain the pan drippings into a cup and remove the fat that rises to the top. Add the white wine to the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom, then pour in the pan juices. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes over medium heat, or until the sauce has thickened.
To serve, carve or quarter the chicken and drizzle with the pan juices.
Serves 4

Four-year-old Brody Oliver, like many others, did not realize raisins can dance.
Oliver has since learned that they can dance around by using a carbonated liquid which attaches to the raisins, bringing them to the surface. When the raisins surface, carbonation is released and the raisins sink to gather more carbonation and repeat the process, thus causing a "dancing motion."
Oliver, along with his parents, recently attended the monthly Shout Eureka! science program held at the Besser Museum for Northeast Michigan where he learned that interesting lesson.

Brody Oliver, age 4, and his mother, Nicole Morgan, recently enjoyed a free Shout Eureka! science program held the first Thursday of the month from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Besser Museum for Northeast Michigan.
Shout Eureka! is a free program funded by the Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan and a Kellogg Youth Initiative partnership grant. "Eureka" is a Greek derivative meaning, "I have found it" or "I have discovered something."
Nicole Morgan, Oliver's mother said, "Brody loves science, and to have a free program in our area that fosters this is great for our children."
Karen and Patrick Pokorski, who lead the program, have been bringing science awareness to children and adults of all ages for four years. They have exhibited experiments at area schools and now at the Besser Museum.
"Hands-on experiments allows them to really get a feel of how things work," Patrick Pokorski said. "To see the look, determination and excitement on their faces when they have successfully achieved their experiment is very rewarding."
His wife, Karen, added, "It's about having fun and a thinking program. Our experiments vary for each program, covering universal gravitation, motion, friction, compression and several other areas of science that we introduce to the kids and adults."
Besser Museum Executive Director Christine Witulski encourages everyone to take advantage of the program.
"Being able to work with the Pokorskis, who have developed this project, and to partner with them has been exciting," Witulski said. "Seeing the families attending is a great feeling."
The program is held on the first Thursday of each month from 5:30-7:30 p.m. for nine months. Grounded in the concept of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics), the activities and experiments demonstrate the inter-relationship of how subjects relate to each other and in real life.
You can schedule a Shout Eureka! science program by contacting Karen Pokorski at 595-6695 or e-mail email@example.com.

EWING — Officials are eyeing the township's senior and community center for $50,000 in improvements and roof repairs originally proposed for the municipal complex.
Mayor Bert Steinmann said yesterday that $47,500 of the funds will come from unused recreation bond dollars that have been sitting idle for close to four years.
"We cannot ignore the fact that the roof is leaking," Steinmann said.
The administration proposed to use the funds for a municipal complex face lift at a late November meeting of the township council, but no vote was ever taken.
A proposal for the same funds to be used toward roof repairs at the senior and community center was scheduled to be introduced at a council meeting last Tuesday, but was removed from the agenda during the meeting so that more information could be provided to the council, Steinmann said.
Steinmann said the bond money was originally intended for a skate park at the center. Plans for the park were abandoned partially for insurance liability reasons, but he believes the same funds could be applied for roof repairs.
More serious improvements are needed at the municipal complex, he said, which houses a majority of township operations. The building, constructed in 1992, has ragged carpeting, cracked windows and leaks.
Steinmann says his staff is working on a proposal for a bond ordinance that would provide funds for extensive repairs, likely to be presented to the council in February.
He said the $50,000 in available funds would not be enough to fix up the municipal complex.
"If we don't address this, there is a strong likelihood that we would have to gut the whole thing and start from scratch," he said.

Hanska Lakers baseball fans try to keep dry under umbrellas at the Class C State Amateur Baseball Tournament Sunday in Belle Plaine. The rain delayed the start of the game against Sobieski by nearly three hours. The game, which started at 8 p.m., resulted in a 2-0 loss for Hanska, ending the season for the Lakers with a 21-7 record.

The Desert Pavilion houses plants from arid regions in both the Old and New World. The New World cacti, located on the left side of the entrance, are from the American Southwest, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. Old World succulents on the right are from South Africa, Namibia, Madagascar, the Canary Islands, and North Africa. Shrubs, trees, cacti, succulents, and wildflowers from these regions illustrate the diversity of desert plant life as well as the various mechanisms plants have developed to survive a desert climate.
The shrubs, trees, cacti, succulents, and wildflowers of the various regions represented in the Desert House illustrate the diversity of desert plant life as well as the various mechanisms plants have developed to survive a desert climate. Some highlights of the Desert Pavilion include the collection of Madagascan plants, Lithops, Desert ephemerals and wildflowers, Chilean plants, Jojoba, and Pereskia.
Curator Susan Aument
Susan Aument began working at BBG in 1996 as a horticulture intern and was hired as Desert Pavilion curator the following year. She traveled on a botanical expedition to Chile in 2004 and has been to the American Southwest many times, including one amazing El Nino spring. In 2000, she began to also curate the Tropical Entry House and its Trail of Evolution. Her interest in gardening was sparked in Florida, where she took horticulture classes and worked at several nurseries, and tropical plants remain an area of interest and inspiration.

Teach children manual dexterity, balance, and critical thinking skills as they take turns trying to draw the colorful wooden sticks from a tangled bundle on the table without disturbing the rest of the stack.
Zitternix ("Keep It Steady") is variation of the traditional children's game Pick-Up Sticks that requires both skill and luck, since the stick that must be drawn will depend on the color that comes up on the die. Keep it cool, careful, and most importantly, keep it steady!

When the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) met in Chicago May 3rd-6th they were, no doubt, elated to hear that the U.S. State Department would be aggressively confronting critics of agricultural biotechnology.
Jose Fernandez, Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Economic, Energy and Business Affairs noted that the State Department was ready to take on the naysayers. In addition to confronting the critics, Fernandez stated they would be building alliances (presumably with the biotech industry and foreign governments), anticipating roadblocks to acceptance and highlighting the science.

FOLEY, Alabama -- The ninth annual Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival welcomed more than 45 hot air balloonists and hosted more than 65,000 festival visitors making the June 2013 festival, the largest to date.
Much of the success of the festival can be contributed to the more than 350 volunteers who donate countless hours to assist with the planning, organizing and hosting the festival. Festival volunteers are comprised of friends, families, and involved citizens of all ages.
There are also a number of community based groups who enjoy contributing to the success of the festival. One such group is the Foley Band Boosters. Comprised of the families of Foley High students who participate in the school's band program, support from the energetic members is vital to the success of the bands programs throughout the year. With more than 255 students in the Foley High School Band, this volunteer group never goes long without a project.
"Volunteers are critical to the success of our festival," said Donna Watts, president/CEO of the South Baldwin Chamber of Commerce. "Most of our volunteers have helped with the festival since its first year. In appreciation of the Foley Band Booster's continued support and volunteerism with the Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival, we felt it fitting to offer a small token of our appreciation by making a donation to their band program."
To thank this dedicated group of volunteers, the Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival has presented the Foley Band Boosters with a donation to help the 2013-2014 band program.
For more information about the festival, visit www.gulfcoastballoonfestival.com or call the South Baldwin Chamber of Commerce at 251-943-3291.

NYSE Posts Second Day Of Distribution As Reid Signals Congress Still Can't Get Its Act Together 0 comments
For the second day in a row the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and the NYSE Composite posted another day of distribution. It is an ominous sign for a newly developed rally to post back to back days of distribution after a follow-through day. Positive economic news from Durable goods to housing did very little to help this market today. Sellers jumped aboard just before the 10am hour, but were held back by another intraday rally like Monday's session. It appeared as if the NASDAQ and others were ready to bolt to higher ground before Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell spoke about the Fiscal Cliff talks. The market couldn't rebound and ended near the lows of the session as volume jumped. This rally has a negative tint to it and the next move on volume will spell out the direction we'll head in the short-term.
Friday's supposed follow-through day kicked off a new rally and the one thing you do not want to see is distribution within the first few days after the follow-through day. Unfortunately for this new rally is we have had back-to-back days of distribution. Monday's intraday action was bullish, but still put the NYSE composite, S&P 500, and Dow into distribution camp. Today's action was clear distribution and is not questionable. Distribution following a new confirmed market rally spells trouble for the rally attempt. I'd expect to see this rally fail shortly and we'll be on the hunt for a new uptrend. If we move higher on strong move we'll change our tune, but for now distribution is spelling trouble for this rally attempt.
Financials rolled over today with the XLF rejected at its 50 day moving average. Retail (NYSEARCA:XRT) still is having trouble with its 50 day moving average despite the media's attention on how good Black Friday sales were. Oil and Gas was the biggest drag on the S&P 500 followed by financials. A sign the market is on shaky ground is from the only sector higher on the session being the Utilities. If we don't see the market improve here look for utilities to show strength while the rest of the market heads lower.
If you jumped into the market yesterday or today remember to have an exit strategy. It will mean the difference when it comes down to your returns! Buying is the easy part.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Until further notice, Don Bosco Prep is still the best team in Bergen County.
The reigning county champion put its speed and playmaking ability on display as Don Bosco Prep, No. 3 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, jumped to a three-goal lead after one period en route to a 5-1 victory over No. 6 and previously-undefeated Paramus Catholic to capture its second consecutive Bergen County tournament title at the Ice Vault last night in Wayne.
"We just executed," Robby Marsanico, who collected a goal and an assist, said. "It's unreal. To give them their first loss of the season and capture the county title -- me and the boys are pumped."
Chris Moreira followed up Marsanico's drive to the net and lifted one over Paramus Catholic goalie Thomas Pyrka's shoulder 7:29 into the opening period to give the Ramsey school a 1-0 lead. Just under four minutes later, Khan Kim deflected Rory Garlasco's shot from the point for his first goal of the season with 3:38 remaining to quickly make it 2-0.
"We wanted to get a quick start and after a few minutes we got our legs going and got a couple of goals on them," Don Bosco coach Greg Toskos said. "We were firing a lot of shots on net."
Seizing the initiative, Don Bosco never stopped skating and built a 14-3 advantage in shots on goal. On its 15th shot of the first period, Connor Healey made it 3-0.
After setting up Moreira in the first, Marsanico scored one himself when the junior netted his 16th of the season to establish a 4-0 lead with 1:28 remaining in the second period.
"He can flat-out score," Toskos said. "He does whatever he has to, to lead this team to victory."
With two goals and four assists in three county games, Marsanico was named the Bergen County Tournament's Most Valuable Player.
Paramus Catholic battled back in the final frame and got one on the scoreboard when Matt Lepinski's dump-in caromed off the boards and off Don Bosco goaltender Jarred Liscio to cut it to 4-1 with 3:39 remaining in regulation, but that would be the only unfortunate bounce for the junior goalie.
Just 1:20 later, with 2:19 remaining, John Stimola capped the scoring for Don Bosco, which retained the county title. In the end, Don Bosco's depth--rolling four lines--and physical prowess prevailed. The Ramsey team fired 35 shots on Pyrka. Liscio was forced to make nine saves for Don Bosco Prep (10-4).
Paramus Catholic lost for the first time, dropping to 16-1.
"A lot of teams would have given their left leg to be in the position we were in," Paramus Catholic coach Keith Bland said. "We were undefeated, having beaten Ramsey, but I think it took us a while to adjust to the pace of this game. It took us a while to get our feet under us until the third period. Don Bosco is just a little more battle-tested than we are."
"This was a tough loss, our first of the season," Paramus Catholic senior Alex Fleishmann said. "Don Bosco is a good team, we gave them what we could and we're going to learn from this."

JACKSON, MI – At the latest, David Kellen Grow will leave the Jackson County Jail by Monday, March 11, Undersheriff Chris Kuhl said.
District Judge Joseph Filip on Thursday, March 7, ordered Grow to the state Center for Forensic Psychiatry in Washtenaw County, where he will undergo treatment.
Filip ruled Grow, 19, incompetent to stand trial in the Feb. 20 death of his mother, Robin Grow, and the center, a maximum security facility, has 15 months to render him otherwise.
Now, his mental condition makes him incapable of understanding the court proceedings and assisting in his own defense, Filip found, agreeing with the determinations of a center doctor.
Grow is charged with open murder. He is accused of using a knife to kill his mother, Robin Grow, 49, in the home they shared on W. Center Street in Concord.
The center has not yet reported on Grow's "criminal responsibility" or sanity at the time of the crime. This is a determination separate from the competency finding. It was requested by the defense and will not be relevant until, or if, Grow is able to stand trial. People are legally insane when they lack "substantial capacity" to appreciate the wrongfulness of their conduct or to conform it to the requirements of the law.
Grow has an autism disorder and has struggled with some mental illness. He was hospitalized for 10 days in January.
His lawyer, Andrew Kirkpatrick, said he has not been able to have a conversation with Grow, described as "flat."
Called affectionate toward and close with his parents, Grow's alleged violence was not of his heart, his father earlier said.
"This is not him," Ron Grow said last month.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — The Corporation for National Community Service has launched its 10th Anniversary Challenge, encouraging nonprofits, businesses and faith-based educational organizations around the country to do some good in honor of those who died in the terrorist attacks.
CNCS will award grants ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 to groups that organize community service projects during the weekend of Sept. 11.
"No one knows better than New Yorkers the importance of coming together and lending a hand in a time of tragedy," said Rep. Michael Grimm (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn), who encouraged borough groups to get involved.
"As we remember the loved ones lost on 9/11, we must also remember the compassion and unity that filled our communities in its aftermath as we continue to give back to those who need it most."
The deadline for submissions is July 29. Visit the CNCS Web site for details

It looks like they modified the ship quite dramatically. Wings on pilot bridge are missing.
Anyway I was at the Odense Shipyard in Lindoe, Denmark during the construction of this vessel, June 1967.
Had to work there during one month.
This is the largest newbuilding yard in Denmark (possibly Europe?) and is fully owned by A.P. Moller (Maersk Group)
Hereby some photos which I took at the time.
I am trying to get a newbuilding list from this shipyard or an old fleet list from APM going back to the early 1900's when they started, but all I can find is updated lists of current vessels.
Anybody who can assist here?
p.s. today's Dirch Maersk is a container vessel, but like most companies, APM uses "old" ship's names.

The FPSO pictures above ("Uisge Gorm") is indeed ex "Dirch Maersk", but not the same "Dirch Maersk" pictures in the top photo. The "Dirch Maersk" that is now "Uisge Gorm" is about 90.000 dwt and built in the mid 1980s, while the one on the top photo was built 1969 and of 210.000 dwt.

Hi...seeing that picture reminds me of seeing her in exactly that position from the red Funnel ferry on 9th Jan 1971... my first sight of a VLCC and which inspired me to try to see as many as possible...
Nov 10 2009, nearly 39 years later, the Flandre - off Southwold, was different VLCC number 1035 .
Bit late to get a life I suppose!!
Cheers, Ron

Rodney is really busy for these answers but he will come accros to answering it.
Most likely could be a no. I am not sure what his procedure is to reviewing the cases, does he choose or do simply companies ask him to review it?
We'll see what happens.

One-on-One with Chris Nichols
I don't necessarily have any insight into that in terms of a name, but there have been some breadcrumbs left by Brian Burke in recents months as to the nature of his role as president of hockey operations as it will potentially relate to his new GM.
This was from the Calgary Herald in December and I've referenced it a number of times since.
Burke: "The thinking is — and this exists in a number of franchises in football, baseball, basketball, and now forward in the NHL — you've got someone there to steer the ship and mentor a young GM. First off, you avoid the big mistakes that young GMs typically make. And second, you don't have to have an organizational shift, a major reorientation every time you bring in a new GM. You have someone steering the ship even if someone else is in command on a day-to-day basis."
Between that quote and the times he's noted wanting to be patient with waiting for getting permission to talk to candidates (maybe once a team has been eliminated from the playoffs), it seems like the Flames will be getting a first-time GM. That could have changed had Joe Nieuwendyk been interested, naturally.
We'll see. I think Burke will find a good match and I also don't believe he'll want to micromanage the new guy either, despite what some people might think.
"Who do you think the Flames will go after in the off-season?"
Anytime you're in a position such as the one in which the Flames currently find themselves, with whatever you want to call this rebuild, you're immediately going to close off a certain portion of the free agent market. UFAs are prime of their career guys, or older, so they generally want to try to win in addition to getting paid.
What the Flames will be able to offer though, is chances for the guys who want a bigger role than they currently have. Calgary is willing to spend money if it's smart money, which is different than a rebuilding team that only wants to slash payroll.
I'm most interested to see how things unfold between the pipes for Calgary.
"Were you surprised that Cammy stayed and do you think the Flames will sign him?"
I wasn't terribly surprised, given how last-minute some of the big name trades were at the deadline - plus the Kesler trade that didn't happen. Burke alluded to how that all sort of gummed up the works for several teams.
I think the Flames will make what they feel is a reasonable effort to sign him again, but it'll really come down to what Cammalleri wants to do. He'll certainly be sought on the free agent market if he wants a new home. I do like how direct Burke has been with Cammalleri though. Very straightforward. Players like and respect that, which can be a factor when signing with the Flames too.
"Please let us know about your site, and about yourself."
I started NicholsOnHockey.com right before the trade deadline after seven years with Sportsnet.ca. My vision for it has been very simple, in that I want it to be daily value-added content for hockey fans.
Aside from the staples of full line combinations and power play units, which appeal to poolies and hockey fans alike, the focus of the site is interesting stories and quotes - often with a social media twist of some kind.
Most people don't have time to read even a portion of the NHL content floating around in cyber space, so I like to mine the info and point people toward stories worth reading.
One of my favorite things to do is pull quotes that may not have had anything to do with the 'lead' angle in the original story, but may be even more interesting to readers. One of the most popular stories on the site, in fact, was one about Darryl Sutter discussing puck possession. It was buried in its original story, but was a fascinating take on it. Sutter has such a sharp hockey mind.
Hopefully hockey fans will like and support the site. New content will be rolled out in the coming months and into next season as well.
I've been in the media field for two decades now and have been writing about hockey or fantasy hockey professionally for about 14 of those years, dating back to my time with ESPN.com.

Great read. Very nice of Chris to share his thoughtsReplyDelete

Keeping Cammalleri was stupid. I do not care what the return was, even a 3 rd pick. Brodie was a 4th round pick, it shows that those picks are valuable. Gaudreau another one.ReplyDelete
The new GM will be George McPhee. He will move all the way over to the West. He shares the same beliefs as Burke and would slide in nicely. What about Hextall?Replies
McPhee is a logical candidate if he indeed does not sign an extension in Washington. We know earlier in the year Burke and McPhee had dinner together in Calgary prior to a Flames game. Although they are professionals, I am sure their relationship allowed for a "what if" conversation. I still think and agree with Chris that we could see a first time GM. Hextall would fit that bill. Perhaps Jim Benning is a front runner.Delete

Hey Chris, why did you decide to go the route of your own instead of staying with an ESPN or Sportnet? @nicholsonhockeyReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 27, 2014 at 9:46 PM
This will work if Burke/ownership come up with a set of rules on "steering the ship" and abide by them. If the new GM is mentored, not controlled we will have decent talent vying for the GM job. If not and Burke gets sticky fingers the GM position will be a joke. Still, I am optimistic it will work. IMO, Burke is a smart man and understands this. A failure will reflect directly on him.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 30, 2014 at 10:23 AM
People are overlooking Craig Conroy. Young, motivated, respected around the league and the time he has spent around Burke eliminates "an organizational shift". If I was a betting man I would bet that right before the draft Burke will make an announcement stating "After spending last season with Craig, I feel he is the best condidate to steer this ship. Along with my guidance I feel Craig will do a great job". Burke will then hire a draft/scout specialist to join the front office and work with Conroy and himself. I have a feeling this entire season is an audition for Connie, and honestly, I believe he is the right guy for the job.ReplyDelete

Water line breaks adding up for Columbus
Water line breaks since the beginning of the year have cost Columbus ratepayers hundreds of thousands in overtime costs and emergency repair contracts.
From Jan. 1 through Feb. 15, the city paid out $262,379 in overtime, according to the city's utilities department. The number of OT hours earned, including comp time: 8,169.
The city has also paid two contractors another $202,960 for emergency repairs since Jan. 8. And many invoices for work still have to be submitted.
It's been a brutal winter for the city's aging system. Eleven days ago, the city had 106 working breaks, utilities director Greg Davies told Columbus City Council on Monday. On Tuesday, the number was down to 44, including 27 main line breaks, 14 service line breaks and three valve leaks.Continue ReadingPosted by Mark Ferenchik on February 25, 2014 05:42 PM

When did city leaders see a plow?
We spent the last week analyzing GPS data from city snowplows to produce this story on Sunday.
One natural question that we did not answer in that story: When did City Council members and the mayor see a city plow on their street after the snow storm that dropped more than 10 inches on the city on Feb. 4 and 5.
I checked by entering the addresses of Columbus' elected officials into the handy look-up tool that web producer Victor Black built from the data (now with maps!).Continue ReadingPosted by Doug Caruso on February 24, 2014 03:18 PM

Income inequality in Columbus
Income inequality is a growing problem in many cities, according to a new report by the Washington, D.C.-based Brookings Institution.
It isn't as bad in Columbus as it is in other cities. In 2012, Columbus ranked 40th of the country's 50 largest cities in terms of the gap between the incomes of the top 5 percent of earners -- those making at least $147,496 -- and the lowest 20 percent -- just $17,238.
But both those incomes are low in general. Just 17 of the 50 cities have lower incomes on the low end, according to data from the American Community Survey. And just five cities have lower incomes on the high end: Milwaukee, Cleveland, Detroit, Memphis and Tucson.
The report's author, Alan Berube, attributed Columbus' numbers to its signifiacnt student population. "Columbus has plenty of high-paying (jobs)," he said "It's not a reflection of a moribund economy."
Atlanta has the biggest gap.

French landlord making payments on back taxes
Hubert Silly, the man from Paris, France, who owns dozens of vacant and boarded-up properties in Columbus has slowly been paying off delinquent taxes on his holdings.
Silly, who bought more than 40 properties under his Miromesnil Investment LLC, has paid more than $4,400 in back taxes on five properties, according to the Franklin County treasurer's office. He paid some of that in person earlier this month, said Eric Sells, supervisor of the delinquent tax division.
He has also paid a $2,124.23 tax lien on a Burrell Avenue property.
Silly was featured in a Dispatch series in November about landlords who have been able to avoid prosecution because of lax laws and weak enforcement.Continue ReadingPosted by Mark Ferenchik on February 18, 2014 04:26 PM

COMSTOCK PARK, MI - Mike Quade considered himself at least Triple-A manager material in 1996, so the West Michigan Whitecaps weren't exactly what he had in mind at the time.
"I don't know," he recalled telling Keith Lieppman, the director of player development with the Oakland Athletics, the Whitecaps' affiliate at the time.
Understandable, too, since his managerial journey had already taken him to five teams in 10 years, the last two being with Triple-A affiliates in Ottawa and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Why would he want to come back to Class A?
"I remember after getting fired after my second year at Scranton ," Quade said. "I was looking for work – didn't have anything specific - and (Lieppman) called and said, 'Well listen, I have a high-profile Class A job in West Michigan' and he said it was an unbelievable place.
"He said, 'I know you might not want to think about going back down to single-A level, but it might be a great break for you after putting up what you do in Triple-A.'"
Quade pondered, West Michigan became his best option and, in 1996, he succeeded Jim Colborn as the second manager of the Whitecaps.
"I had a blast," said Quade, who will return to Fifth Third Ballpark for the first time Wednesday when the Whitecaps host Great Lakes to open a seven-game homestand.
Quade and former pitcher Benito Baez from the 1996 team will throw out ceremonial first pitches.
It was a successful year. Quade managed the Whitecaps to a 77-61 record and the franchise's first Midwest League title. They won both halves of the regular season (38-30 and 39-31) – a feat accomplished only twice since – and went 7-2 against three opponents in the playoffs.
Quade has since traveled far beyond West Michigan. After 1996, he spent single seasons climbing the ladder at Huntsville, Edmonton and Vancouver. Eventually, he joined the Chicago Cubs as a bench coach, then third base coach and, after Lou Piniella's sudden retirement, he took over as interim manager in 2010. He got the full-time gig with the Cubs in 2011, but was fired after going 71-91 in the first season under Theo Epstein, the president of baseball operations.
Currently, he is out of baseball.
So forgive Quade, 56, who currently lives in Bradenton, Fla., if he doesn't remember specifics on all the names and places.
"I've been all over the map and back," he said with a laugh.
But what Quade does remember was the atmosphere of West Michigan baseball.
"Back in the Carolina League, it was every man for himself," he said. "So I remember the host families in West Michigan. It was a new experience. I was flabbergasted at the interest of host families. As it turned out. I think we had three or four families that didn't get a player and they were pissed! It was amazing to me, in a good way.
"The passion of the local people was something I always remember."
The 1996 team was known for consistency rather than a single standout. Baez went 8-4 with a 3.47 ERA over 129 innings. Todd Abbott won a team-high 11 games and Dane Walker – the oldest player on the team at 26 – led with a .277 batting average.
The team also featured eight future major leaguers, most notable being catcher Ramon Hernandez (who led the team with 12 home runs), outfielders Ryan Christianson (hit .311 in 33 games) and Jeff DeVanon (.242 in 89 games), and first baseman/outfielder Derrick White, who played briefly with the Tigers in 1995.
As part of the homestand, the Whitecaps will face Great Lakes in 7 p.m. starts Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Lansing follows with a doubleheader Saturday and single games Sunday and Monday.

5 healthy lifestyle tips for 2013
March 5, 2013
Most people fail at diet and lifestyle resolutions because they associate "a diet" with deprivation and take an all-or-nothing approach. Adopting a healthier lifestyle doesn't have to mean deprivation or struggle — not if you take the right approach.
Accentuate the positive. Give yourself credit for positive health behaviors. Overeating at one meal doesn't translate into "diet failure." If you eat three meals every day, that's 21 meals a week, right? So if you have a dietary "indiscretion" at one or two of those meals, that still translates into 19 or 20 meals that were balanced and healthy. That's a cause for celebration.
Find joy in movement. The key to fitting in exercise is to make it something enjoyable and fun — something you're going to look forward to doing. If the idea of going to a sweaty gym leaves you cold, think about what you like to do instead.
Eat what you love. The better you feel about what you're doing, the more consistent you'll be. To lose weight you simply need to eat less than you usually do. So if you don't like celery sticks, skip them. Grab a pint of juicy strawberries instead or savor a bit of antioxident-rich dark chocolate once in a while.
Don't set yourself up for failure. Start by making small gradual changes in your health habits. If you haven't walked on the treadmill in months, it's not reasonable to think that you'll be able to jog for an hour. Instead, tell yourself you'll do 10 minutes.
Research tells us that you can get as much benefit from three 10-minute bouts of exercise as you do from one 30-minute workout.

Members of the Jefferson Parish School Board, the majority of them newly elected without experience hiring superintendents, are beginning to set the tenor for an executive search that could take much of this year.
They held their first meeting on the subject Wednesday, when the board's executive committee mulled over several of the key considerations in replacing Diane Roussel, who plans to leave after June.
Several members expressed a preference, or at least a lack of opposition, to conducting a search nationally instead of narrowly. They expressed interest in working with a search firm, but the firm itself must also be selected carefully. They said they want to thoroughly vet applicants, perhaps sending scouts to other school systems. They said they want to form a citizens advisory group as part of the search. They also said they want to avoid job-hopping leaders with impressive resumes but questionable commitment.
Ultimately, the committee on Wednesday decided to continue the discussion at a full board meeting Tuesday. And members issued a directive to board President Michael Delesdernier to gather information on search agencies to present at that meeting.
"We would not be doing our just duty if we don't uncover every stone," said board member Pat Tovrea, endorsing a national search. "I think we need to flip every stone and look in every place that we can."
The last superintendent search, which resulted in Roussel's promotion from instruction chief, drew criticism for being too limited. Roussel became superintendent in 2003 and said she needs to step down because health problems have drained her stamina.
"I don't believe that a national search is necessary, but I have nothing against a national search," this time around, said board member Ray St. Pierre.
"We need to decide as a board, do we want to hire an outside agency?" said board member Etta Licciardi.
Roussel alerted board members to be sure a firm truly is searching on behalf of the school system and not working for a client trying to get a job.
Another question, Licciardi said, is "Do we hire an interim, or a permanent?"
Licciardi said the board could wait on its permanent choice until after completion of a system-wide performance audit.
The members also discussed setting qualifications and expectations for the job of running the 44,000-student school system.
"I'd like our job description to say move-abouts or free agents need not apply," said board member Mark Morgan, arguing against the danger of candidates with sterling credentials but little substance swaying the decision. Avoiding such people will be one of the board's key challenges, Morgan said.
"I think it's important that we have the scouts in the field as well," confirming claims on resumes, said board member Mark Jacobs.
Board member Cedric Floyd called for creating a panel of parents and other community members to contribute to the process.
"I think we need to reach out to our stakeholders and have some type of advisory council," Floyd said.
The board's next discussion on the superintendent search will be Tuesday at 5 p.m. at Alfred Bonnabel Magnet Academy High School in Kenner.
