In 2011, I was fortunate to receive a sampling of their cookies, granola and Sour Cream Coffee Cake and I can honestly say that their baked goods are quality and delicious. Tate's Bake Shop is located in the Hamptons, and is owned by Kathleen King. I've seen her featured on Ina Garten's show "The Barefoot Contessa".
I enjoyed flipping through the recipes, and I bookmarked a few. The one recipe that really stood out to me was the Chocolate-Blood Orange Cake. The photograph was so pretty, and this marbled cake reminded me of my own mom's version. One of the signature cakes that my mother often baked was a Marbled Kugel Kuchen, that had a yellow batter with chocolate. I never did get that recipe from her, so I thought I'd try this version
Blood oranges aren't in season, so I used Navel Oranges for this recipe. The recipe lists 2 ounces, each, of bittersweet and unsweetened chocolate. The batter ingredients includes two sticks of butter, and one cup of sour cream. I love adding sour cream to cakes because I can pretty much be guaranteed that the cake will be moist.
Pure Orange oil and a little bit of Buttery Sweet Dough Flavor. These are baking ingredients that I use all the time, and I think they add some extra flavor to my baked goods.
The other half of the cake batter has the melted (and cooled) chocolate whipped into it. (I omitted using mini chocolate chips.) The batter is spooned in, alternately.
I love this Heritage Bundt Pan, because it makes a really pretty cake. I find that, if sprayed properly with a non-stick baking/flour spray, that cakes pop right out. The cake is cooled, in the pan, for about 10 minutes.
I'm so pleased with this recipe that I look forward to trying several others that Kathleen King has created.
It features a lemon tea loaf, buttery-rich shortbread squares, an individual coffee cake, a box of our famous crispy chocolate chip cookies and copy of Baking for Friends, with over 120 delicious recipes.

There is much to like about Gov. Rick Snyder's proposed overhaul of Michigan's public school system. Unfortunately, there is also much to dislike about it.
The biggest plus is the expansion of opportunities for students to take classes online in a modified regional school setting. The biggest question remains school funding — who gets what and how much.
Snyder is the latest Michigan governor to attempt an overhaul of the state's education system. How he will fare is anybody's guess, but judging by the performance of the Michigan Legislature in recent years, I don't hold out much hope of anything bipartisan, or even efficient, happening.
Some will see the overhaul as another attack on teacher unions and others will use it as an attack on the unions. Both sides will likely dig in and fight any actions to the bitter end.
In recent years, governmental tinkering to the education system — most of it by the Legislature — has put the system in danger of becoming little more than readying students to take tests to determine if they have learned enough to take tests. Any talk of major overhauls has been met with fierce resistance and a bunker mentality of fighting to protect power or to take away power from those holding an opposing viewpoint.
Opposition to Snyder's plan is already lining up from Legislative Democrats, teachers unions, the state board of education and even some superintendents. Convening a commission involving all factions of education might have been feasible at one time, but with so many fingers in the pie and so many heels dug in, that probably wouldn't work this time.
A realistic and fundamental change in our education system is needed. A more efficient use of available technology is a must, and Snyder's proposals are a good starting point for discussion — not a be-all, end-all solution — but a start.
Technological advances are made almost daily, it seems. Offering more classes online is probably the next step in education. However, maintaining the human element — also known as teachers — is still the most important part of education. Some students will always need extra help, and it is a teacher's job to provide it. Giving teachers the proper tools to do their jobs is essential.
An intriguing proposal is coming from the National Education Association. The national teachers union is calling for a written test much like a lawyer's bar exam and a minimum grade-point average for new educators.
I have advocated several times in this space in recent years for fewer school districts, of uniform size. Regional districts with shared online classes should be considered. It may not be just money-saving by trimming administrative overhead costs — it could also better utilize existing and future assets of school districts.
The bad news is that concept pretty does away with local community identity with school districts. Any major overhaul of Michigan's public school systems will likely be met with equally fierce opposition.
Additionally, whenever legislatures, either state or national, make changes to education, they often mandate the changes but drop the responsibility for funding on local districts. The changes often result in the need to hire a new administrator to make certain the local district is complying with all regulations, or you can be damn sure a financial penalty will be levied.
Making new rules for local interests to follow but not supplying them the wherewithal to carry out the mandates is typical legislature buck-passing. Lawmakers brag that they are reforming schools, when in reality all they are doing is adding another layer of bureaucracy.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

The Soup Movement in America is based on a simple recipe: Bring a bunch of people together to eat soup. Ask each person for a modest donation — say $5. Listen to a few proposals about how people might use that pool of money for a worthwhile project. Vote on the best proposal, and give all the money to the top vote-getter. Go home full and fulfilled.
With the national surge of microfinancing and social entrepreneurship, soup groups have bubbled up in Detroit, Fort Worth, Los Angeles and other cities around the country. FEAST, founded in Brooklyn in 2009, has awarded more than $17,000 in small grants. Louisville's posSOUPbility group convened for the first time on Jan. 29. You can find a loose-knit network of active — and not so active — groups at the Sunday Soup website.
Many of the confabs have a special focus. Sprout Seattle, for example, provides funds for emerging artists. In Philadelphia, an organization called PhilaSoup concentrates on education.
PhilaSoup was founded in 2011 by two Philadelphia sisters, Claire and Nikka Landau, with help from their friend Jason Tucker. "The vision for PhilaSoup," according to Nikka, "is a monthly microgrant dinner meant to bring innovative and dynamic Philadelphia-area educators together, highlight the great work they are doing, and fund some innovative education projects."
Nikka brought the idea home with her from Detroit, a key city in the Soup Movement. "I loved the idea of coming together with strangers over a meal," Nikka said, "and finding out more about our shared community."
Breaking Bread
On a recent Sunday night, the trio of friends welcomed about 45 teachers and other members of the local education community to a cozy gathering at the University Barge Club, a 19th-century boathouse on the banks of the Schuylkill River. As folks walked in, they were asked to fill out name tags — with their names and the names of their favorite children's books.
"Teachers all over Philadelphia are doing terrific projects," Claire said. "It's really exciting to gather and break bread with teachers from across the city doing exciting things."
Out the window of the Barge Club's cozy meeting room, the silver-blue and glassy waters flowed below as the sun set in the midwinter sky. Inside, people mingled over wine and clementines. Warmth was provided by a gas-log fire and genial conversation.
Mounted on the walls — alongside a ginormous moose head and various memorial oars — were old photos of rowing teams, working together in concert to accomplish a greater task. Metaphor in black and white.
Four soups — lentil, tomato bisque, beef barley (made by the Landau sisters' father) and ginger carrot — were served, along with French bread and pumpkin muffins.
As people slurped their last spoonfuls, Jason and the Landau sisters welcomed everyone, explained how the evening would unfold, and called on the first presenter. Presentations were limited to three minutes apiece. Questions were allowed.
In striped blouse, dark skirt and glasses, Lacey Boland, a 7th-grade English teacher at Independence Charter School, spoke very fast. She said she would use the money for a student publication program. Students had written retooled versions of fairy tales and turned the stories into books. She read an excerpt of one of the retellings, Snow What: The Remix.
" 'There's something wrong with her,' the doctor sighed. The mother was in a daze. She let out a small mix between a scream and a gasp."
Lacey said she planned to use the night's money to pay a visiting author to give a workshop. And she said that when it comes to her students, "it's really hard to underestimate the power of having seen their word in print."
The second presenter was Brian Kerner, a high school art teacher at Prep Charter High School. Brian — in black jeans and black shirt — waved his hands here and there as he spoke. He said he wanted to use the microgrant to buy art supplies so that his students could make family crests in a metalworking project. "Metals are cool," he said. And by helping students create medieval shields with crests that reflected meaningful parts of their lives, he could teach them about symbolism in art.
Alyssa Boyle, a young principal at Camelot Excel North Academy, beseeched everyone to consider her appeal for a dropout prevention plan. She hoped to use the money to buy black vests — to spruce up school uniforms — and to use those vests to encourage marginal students to improve their attendance records. "I can single out the kids who are always there and put them in a nice vest," Alyssa explained. "Any way to make their uniform a little more snazzy is always welcome."
And The Winner Is ...
After the three proposals — each met with enthusiasm, support and a few questions — someone passed around a plate of homemade cookies.
As people discussed the pros and cons of the projects, and the presenters stealthily lobbied the crowd for votes, Jason handed out stones to everyone and asked them to place their stone in one of the milk jugs — each labeled with one of the night's proposals — on the table near the exit door on their way out.
The Landau sisters thanked people for coming and bid them all a good night.
Once the crowd had left and the soup was put away, Jason and the Landau sisters tallied the stones. The evening's winner — of about $225 — was Lacey Boland, and her "Fairy Tales Remixed."
Now to a burgeoning soup movement here in the U.S. It's based on a simple recipe. Bring a bunch of people together to eat soup. Ask each person for a modest donation, say $5. Listen to a few proposals about how people might use that money for a good cause. And then, finally, vote on the best proposal and give all the money to the winner.
These soup groups have bubble up around the country. In Philadelphia, an organization called PhilaSoup concentrates on education.
NPR's Linton Weeks takes us there for a bowl of tomato bisque.
LINTON WEEKS, BYLINE: On a recent Sunday night, about 45 members of the local education community gather at the University Barge Club boathouse on the banks of the Schuylkill River.
JASON LANDAU: Hello.
WEEKS: PhilaSoup was founded by two sisters, Nikka and Claire Landau, with the help of their friend Jason Tucker.
NIKKA LANDAU: Welcome everyone. Thanks for coming to soup tonight. I'm Nikka.
CLAIRE LANDAU: And I'm Claire. We want to try and do a little roll call. If you are here from a charter school.
CROWD: Here.
LANDAU: If you're here from a public school.
CROWD: Here.
WEEKS: Outside it is icy cold. Inside, the room is warmed by a gas fire and conversation. On the wall, a huge moose head, its antlers hung with Christmas lights.
LANDAU: We're hoping that PhilaSoup will be a monthly micro grant dinner that starts and ends with teachers, but is an access point to education for the whole city.
WEEKS: On the menu, four soups, all donated: lentil, tomato bisque, beef barley and ginger carrot. As people slurp their last spoonfuls, Claire Landau goes over the rules.
LANDAU: The way it's going to work is that we'll have three presenters from three different schools who are doing great projects that they would like you to fund tonight with our micro grant. They're going to have three minutes to present. And then, after the three minutes...
WEEKS: And then, as dessert is served, everyone will vote on the best proposal. To the winner will go about 225 bucks.
LANDAU: So, let's see. Who would like to go first?
WEEKS: Lacey Boland, a 7th grade English teacher, steps to the front. She talks pretty fast.
LACEY BOLAND: OK. So I'm going to start with a reading. This is a story from "Snow What: Snow White the Remix."
WEEKS: Lacey's students have written new versions of the old fairy tale and turned them into books.
BOLAND: (Reading) There's something wrong with her, the doctor sighed. The mother was in a daze. She let out a small mix between a scream and a gasp every time the...
WEEKS: A professional writer came in to help. Lacey wants some money to do it again.
BOLAND: It's impossible to underestimate the power that just him being in the room and working one on one with them and in a large group. And so I'm hoping to get funding to bring him in for at least one visit back to our classroom.
WEEKS: Next is Brian Kerner, an art teacher at Prep Charter High School.
BRIAN KERNER: I came up with an idea for a metals project because, well, metals are cool. So...
WEEKS: Brian wants to buy art supplies so his students can make medieval shields that reflect meaningful parts of their lives. He's teaching them about symbolism in art.
The last presenter is Alyssa Boyle, the energetic principal at Camelot Excel North Academy. Her students wear uniforms. And Alyssa wants to reward those who have good attendance records by giving them black vests.
ALYSSA BOYLE: Any way to make their uniform a little more snazzy is always welcome. And then that will just sort of send a message out to the rest of the school that you can become eligible for these vests. And you can be proud of what you've accomplished. So that's why I'm here tonight. Thank you.
WEEKS: After the three proposals, a plate of cookies is passed around. Jason hands out small stones and tells everyone to vote for the project they like the best by putting their stone into milk jugs. There's a jug for each proposal.
WEEKS: Once the crowd has voted and left and the soup is put away, Jason and the Landau sisters do the tally.
LANDAU: Woo, they're getting stuck.
LANDAU: Oh, I think we haveâ¦
LANDAU: We have a winner.
WEEKS: And the winner is: Lacey Boland. "Fairy Tale Remixed."

Measles Outbreaks Prompt Travel and Vaccine Reminders
When planning for future international travel, make sure to include plans for keeping you and your family healthy. Your need for travel vaccinations depends on your immunization history, your health status, the specific areas you plan to visit, the time of year, and whether any outbreaks of disease have recently occurred. Many vaccine-preventable diseases, now rarely seen in the United States, are still common in other parts of the world. Getting vaccinated before you travel is the best and easy way to protect yourself and your loved ones against serious diseases such as tetanus, hepatitis, meningitis, rabies, yellow fever, typhoid fever and measles. Since many vaccines take time to provide full protection and some vaccines must be given in a series that can take several days or weeks, try to schedule a doctor's visit 4-6 weeks before your trip. Review your family's vaccination history to make sure everyone is up-to-date on their routine vaccinations, including Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis), MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), Hepatitis B, Hepatitis A and Polio, as well as any required or recommended vaccines for travel to other countries. Currently in California, measles is a growing health concern related to international travel. The latest report from the California Department of Public Health confirmed 51 measles cases so far this year as of April 7 (none in San Joaquin County), compared with just four reported by this time last year. Measles remains a common, serious and highly contagious disease in many parts of the world, including the Philippines, India and other areas in Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and Africa. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year, measles infects about 20 million people and kills about 164,000 people worldwide; and 100,000 of these deaths are children. Anyone traveling overseas may be exposed to measles and could become ill if they have never had measles or have not been properly vaccinated. Measles can come into the U.S. easily through infected visitors or through those returning to the U.S. from international travel. Infected individuals can spread the disease and spark outbreaks among pockets of unvaccinated people in the U.S., including infants and young children. If you are in an airport, airplane, train, bus or other mass transit vehicle, other people can expose you to the disease. Measles is spread by contact with an infected person, through coughing and sneezing. After an infected person leaves a location, the virus remains contagious for up to 2 hours on surfaces and in the air. Infected individuals are generally contagious four days before and four days after a rash first appears. Click here for information.
Funding for Street Outreach Programs

Read the funding opportunity announcement.
Diabetes Resources in San Joaquin County
Diabetes is a costly disease, both in terms of people's health and well-being, and in terms of dollars spent on treatment, medications and lost days at work and school. San Joaquin County annually accounts for among the worst death rates from diabetes among all 58 California counties. In an attempt to make its estimated 60,000 residents with diabetes aware of the many local resources available to help them deal with the disease, a dozen billboards in English and Spanish have been posted around the county directing readers to the UniteForDiabetesSJC.org website. At that website is information on numerous free classes and programs that provide education and training on preventing diabetes, managing the disease, controlling its side effects, and links to more resources, including special events and finding a physician. For questions on how to navigate the website or find a class, residents may call Vanessa Armendariz, community project manager at the San Joaquin Medical Society, at(209) 952-5299. The billboards came about through the efforts of the Diabetes Work Group, a subcommittee of San Joaquin County Public Health's Obesity and Chronic Disease Prevention Task Force. Funding was provided through a grant from Kaiser Permanente Community Benefit Programs Division-Central Valley Area.
Senior Gateway Website: Don't Be a Victim
California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones has unveiled a new consumer protection tool for California seniors, who have traditionally been prime targets for con artists. The California Department of Insurance (CDI) is hosting a new Web site www.seniors.ca.gov to educate seniors and their advocates and provide helpful information about how to avoid becoming victims of personal or financial abuse. The Web site, called Senior Gateway, is important because seniors, including older veterans, are disproportionately at risk of being preyed upon financially and subjected to neglect and abuse. The Senior Gateway is sponsored by the Elder Financial Abuse Interagency Roundtable (E-FAIR), convened by CDI and includes representatives from many California agencies who share a common purpose of safeguarding the welfare of California's seniors. "The goal of this collaborative effort is to assemble, in one convenient location, valuable information not only for seniors, but their families and caregivers. This site will help California seniors find resources and solve problems, and will enable participating agencies to better serve this important segment of our population," Jones said. The site offers seniors valuable tips and resources in the following areas, and more:
- Avoiding and reporting abuse and neglect by in-home caregivers or in facilities; learn about different types of abuse and the warning signs.
- Preventing and reporting financial fraud, abuse and scams targeting seniors.
- Understanding health care, insurance, Medicare and long-term care; know what long-term care includes.
- Locating services and programs available to assist older adults.
- Knowing your rights before buying insurance; what seniors need to know about annuities.
- Investing wisely and understanding the ins and outs of reverse mortgages.

Flu Shots in Calaveras County
Fall brings cooler temperatures and the start of the flu season. Getting flu vaccine early offers greater protection throughout flu season. The Calaveras County Public Health Department recommends everyone 6 months of age and older get flu vaccine every year. Flu season can start as early as October and continue through March. "Seasonal flu can be serious," said Dr. Dean Kelaita, Calaveras County health officer. "Every year people die from the flu." Some children, youth and adults are at risk of serious illness and possibly death if they are not protected from the flu. They need to get flu vaccine now.
- Adults 50 years of age and over.
- Pregnant women.
- Children and youth 5-18 years on long-term aspirin therapy.
- Everyone with chronic health conditions (including diabetes, kidney, heart or lung disease).
If you care for an infant less than 6 months or people with chronic health conditions, you can help protect them by getting your flu vaccine. Even if you had a flu vaccination last year, you need another one this year to be protected and to protect others who are at risk. The Public Health Department will offer five community flu clinics:
- Every Monday (3 to 5:30 p.m.) and Thursday (8 a.m. to noon): Calaveras County Public Health, 700 Mountain Ranch Road, Suite C2, San Andreas. The monthly Valley Springs Immunization Clinic (third Tuesday, 3 to 5:30 pm) will also offer flu vaccine during flu season.
The flu vaccine is $16. Medicare Part B is accepted. No one will be denied service due to inability to pay. For more information about the vaccine or the clinics, contact the Public Health Department at (209) 754-6460 or visit the Public Health website at www.calaveraspublichealth.com.

McMinnville man arrested on drug charges
Search warrants served at two locations, HEROIN FOUND NEAR SCHOOL
The Yamhill County Interagency Narcotics Team served two search warrants this week and took a McMinnville man into custody.
Tyler Thomas Stuck, 25, of 1620 S.E. Kent St., McMinnville, was charged with one count each of delivery and possession of a controlled substance/heroin within 1,000 feet of a school, felon in possession of a firearm and possession of a controlled substance/methamphetamine. He was also in violation of his probation. Stuck was booked into the Yamhill County Jail without bail.
At about 2 p.m. Monday, search warrants were served at the Kent Street address and on Delashmutt Lane. The drug team was investigating reports of heroin being delivered in the county. Probable cause was developed to indicate drug sales were occuring at those locations.
The search warrants turned up abouut two ounces of heroin, a small quantity of meth, handguns and evidence of the delivery of heroin.
Sheriff Jack Crabtree said the drug seizure should serve as a reminder that heoin has gotten a foothold in the community.
"Now more than ever it is imperative that parents be cognizant of what their children are doing with prescription narcotic analgesic medications," he said. "Their recreational use can often led to an addiction that eventually turns to heroin use for the opiate high."
Anyone with information about this case or suspected illegal drug activity should contact sheriff's office Sgt. Chris Ray at 503-434-7506.

Last Vegas
Getting the likes of Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Michael Douglas, and Kevin Kline in one film should be a recipe for a rousing success, and in many ways throughout Last Vegas, the casting is very successful. The main cast gives everything actors can really contribute to a film, and they excel as well as they can with what they're given. But the film shows that, at the end of the day, the script is king, and Last Vegas falters because its dreadfully weak writing hinders some fun performances.
Like another Vegas comedy, to which comparisons are unavoidable, the film centers around a bachelor party. Billy (Douglas) is trying to hold onto his youth with the grip of an iron vice. He's engaged to a much younger woman and decides that his wedding is the perfect time to rekindle his relationship with his three best friends, a group friendship that has frayed over the years. Archie (Freeman), Paddy (De Niro) and Sam (Kline) pack up to experience a weekend full of geriatric high jinks before Billy's wedding. Each of the four characters travels to Vegas with a certain amount of baggage stowed away in the carry-on compartment, and it's all related to aging, but the resolution to all of these character threads ends way too predictably. The first resolution to each of their stories that swirls around in your head while watching will undoubtedly be the one that pops up on screen before the credits roll.
One of the biggest sins Last Vegas makes is that it's just not all that funny, and the problem lies in the script. The film seems content with telling the same joke about old people over and over again, ad nauseam. It can barely mine humor from any other source besides the characters' advanced ages, pounding that theme into your head like a pulsing jackhammer. Jokes are fired at a machine gun pace, but so many of them fall ridiculously flat. Even when the cast is able to sell some of the feeble punchlines, they still aren't very clever or memorable. If anything, it makes it clear to see why these actors are as celebrated as they are. They all posses a serious amount of charm that bounces across the screen and makes the duds clank a little less loudly.
In fact, any enjoyment to be had from Last Vegas stems solely from the performances of the principal men, and sultry lounge singer Diana (Mary Steenburgen). All five actors possess a natural chemistry that carries the film's limp material around long after the script has forgotten how to be clever. They all have an excitable energy that permeates the rest of the film, but energy means little when they aren't saying anything particularly interesting. During the film, you're never quite bored or offended, but you're never excited either. It just chugs along in a miasma of general competence but not much else.
Last Vegas isn't quite dead on arrival but it's no a spring chicken either. Its high points ride on the backs of its stars' finely aged charisma, and much of the pleasing aspects that exist in Last Vegas would still be intact if the film just consisted of the actors sitting in a room, chewing the fat with each other without a script or direction. At the very least, they would have fewer stupid things to say. What happened in Vegas probably should have stayed there.

The EC has announced that it will conduct an in-depth investigation into the prices of wholesale voice call termination rates offered by Romanian fixed and mobile operators set by the country's regulator the National Authority for Management & Regulations (ANCOM). The current fixed and mobile termination rates were set by the ANCOM in February 2014, and the regulator wants to keep these prices, with a cap of EUR0.0096 (USD0.0112) per minute for mobile termination and EUR0.0014 per minute for fixed calls. This proposal was subsequently challenged by Romanian telco RCS&RDS in October, when the company threatened legal action against the ANCOM if it did not reconsider its decision to freeze mobile and fixed termination rates, despite other dominant players in Romania – Orange, Vodafone and Telekom, supporting the watchdog's decision.

Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander this week recognized Sunshine Week, March 10–16, which celebrates the state's open records law. During his first three months in office, Kander has worked to make government in Missouri more transparent and accessible to Missouri citizens.
His office created a five-day public comment period for initiative petitions. This ensures citizens, elected officials and interested stakeholders are able to offer observations for his office to consider when drafting summary language for ballot questions.
Last month, his office launched TheMissouriChannel.com, which makes accessible audio recordings of legislative floor debates in the Missouri General Assembly so citizens have the opportunity to explore archived material at their own convenience. Prior to The Missouri Channel, Missourians had to listen to the debate as it happened.
"As Missouri's Secretary of State, I place a high value on the transparency and openness of government at all levels," Kander said. "In the spirit of Sunshine Week, we are renewing our dedication to making sure Missourians always have access to their government and an opportunity to have their voices heard."

In the wake of the mayhem that marred yesterday's May Day rally, Seattle police say they are reviewing photos, videos and other evidence in a feverish attempt to identify and investigate any crimes that may have been committed during the demonstration that overtook parts of Capitol Hill and downtown for several hours Wednesday night.
Earlier today, six people were charged in city court with misdemeanors stemming from May Day arrests. Another five people made their first appearance in King County court today, with three facing possible misdemeanors charges and released on their own recognizance and two facing possible charges of with felony riot.
Police today made clear that there were more arrests to be made, and that they felt a more serious felony charge -- assault of an officer -- was warranted for people who threw rocks and bottles officers (one officer is still recuperating after taking a rock to the knee).
A task force is expected to be formed to conduct investigations for further arrests, similar to the approach used after last year's May Day vandalism spree – an effort that included the serving of search warrants at the homes of several May Day suspects and Occupy alums in the months after the protest … and largely resulted in the seizing of clothing and political flyers.
At a press conference Thursday afternoon, police sounded confident that their actions last night were justified, with Assistant Chief Paul McDonagh saying he was eager to detail their tactics to federal officials tasked with watching over the Seattle Police Department on use of force issues.
Responding to the police firing "blast balls" at the feet of protesters, Capt. Chris Fowler said police had used the devices -- which he said do little more than flash and make a loud noise -- safely.
McDonagh specifically addressed one family who complained that a piece of the ball had landed under their baby's stroller: "I would wonder why they were there, why they would bring a child into that situation. They heard Capt. Fowler's order to disperse. They were given that order. They chose to stay."
Fowler said police confrontation with protesters was provoked when officers went to arrest two men who had assaulted a peaceful protester. The crowd circled around the officers, and then circled around their cruiser after they were able to get out of the crowd.
"We determined it was a dangerous situation for the officers," he said. That's when the first blast ball was fired and the crowd was pushed east from downtown toward Capitol Hill.
Many have been critical of the way SPD managed the situation. As Brendan Kiley of The Stranger has noted, the Seattle Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild issued a statement denouncing SPD's "unprovoked use of force, including the use of concussion grenades and chemical agents, against people who merely were exercising their First Amendment right to protest." PubliCola's Erica Barnett has described being deliberately pepper sprayed despite doing nothing more than documenting the action with her camera.
McDonagh said it wasn't known yet whether federal authorities would be involved in the investigation.

The Valrhona Manjari, single origin chocolate has proved a very popular chocolate bar by Valrhona for many as it is created from a fine blend of Criollo and Trinitario cocoa beans from Madagascar.
The Manjari chocolate is a typically fruity dark chocolate from Valrhona of exceptional flavour.
Valrhona Manjari- Winner of The Great Taste Award 2010.
Since 1922 the vocation of Valrhona has been to create exceptional gourmet chocolate, while respecting the artisan's know-how and fine French taste. Dedicated to quality, Valrhona selects and purchases its cocoa beans directly from choice plantations, thus securing an exclusive supply of Grand Crus from South America, the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean. Valrhona was one of the first chocolatiers to describe their chocolate in a similar fashion to wine with the labelling of such creations as grand cru, single origin, single estate and even vintage chocolate. Valrhona is regarded as being amongst the best of the few French chocolate makers today creating their chocolate from bean to bar (cacaofevier).

Yes this Manjari bar is certainly one for the fruity dark chocolate lovers. Can't fault it and right up my street as it oozes fruit and sweetness and I'm finding around the cocoa content I much prefer as this allows the fruit to come through more with the slightly increased sugar content than say a 70% or above. I have found you just cant really compare if more than 5% difference. So yes if like me you like your dark chocolate (below 70-75% cocoa) full of fruit, with a tart edge and almost zingy then this is a must for your list to buy.
Posted Sun 4 Mar 2012 6.58pm by Paul
I agree and found the valrhona Manjari to be one of the fruitiest chocolate bars by Valrhona with the Valrhona Caraibe coming second place. I also like the Guanaja bar by Valrhona but at 70% compared to the Manjari 64% its of course not going to be as sweet. I'm new to Valrhona chocolate and have to say I was quite ignorant to this world of gourmet chocolate until I received a selection of valrhona chocolates for a birthday present from a chocoholic friend. I'm converted! I love this website and its nice to read so many helpful reviews from other customers. I've bought a few times online now and the service I receive is second to none (building up my loyalty points!) - thanks chocolate trading co. My girlfriend is going to make me a chocolate cake using Valrhona chocolate couverture too for our anniversary and so i'm a winner all round!!
Posted Tue 4 Jun 2013 5.08pm by Joanne
After treating my Dad to the Valrhona Chocolate Bar Bundle (and having the opportunity to have a taste myself) I have to agree with my Father that the Valrhona Manjari is our favourite. It's just full of fruity notes and is now a firm favourite at any gift giving occasion.
