8,000 Syrian refugees enter US
SHAFAQNA – The United States has welcomed 8,000 Syrian refugees so far and will settle 2,000 more by the end of September, a US official says.
"We can now say we have welcomed 8,000 Syrian refugees so far this year and we are very confident we will welcome at least 10,000 refugees from Syria by the end of this fiscal year," Anne Richard, assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, said in a conference call with reporters Friday.
Up until April, some 1,300 had been settled in the country and the US State Department said it was way behind the projected schedule that was first set by President Barack Obama last September.
On July 12, Secretary of State John Kerry said that the procedure for Syrian refugees is different from that for others who wish to immigrate to the United States.
"Those are refugees, which is different from normal process of migration and green card and becoming a citizen and so forth. It's a very different category," Kerry said. "It's also representing six-fold increase over what we did the year before."
However, activists have criticized the Obama administration for acting too slowly to settle the refugees mostly because of an extensive, months-long screening process aimed at preventing anyone with links to terrorist networks, including Daesh.
The US government has rejected approximately 7 percent of applications under its Syrian refugee program, while another 13 percent is being held up by "outstanding concerns," according to Leon Rodriguez, director of US Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Obama's plan has also come under attack by his opponents, who have been warning of the implications for national security.
On April 14, US House Speaker Paul Ryan denounced Obama's refugee program, citing a lack of adequate screening that puts the country at risk of terrorism.
Also, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has said "a lot" of Syrians accepted for asylum in the US are members of Daesh.
Trump said the number of refugees and immigrants is increasing in the US and if Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton "gets in, it will be massive and we won't even have a country anymore."
Daesh and other terror groups are wreaking havoc in Syria and aim to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, an objective also sought by Washington.
The Arab country has been gripped by foreign-sponsored militancy since March 2011.

The Mets whining about the field last night might have been the turning point in the game. After Jose Reyes slipped leading off first, the Mets complained the field was too soggy and asked the umpires to have the grounds crew apply a drying agent.
Reyes promptly stole second and scored, which turned out to be a big play as the Mets won by one run.
Although this worked out for the Mets, I don't really like it. So the Braves watered down the infield to slow down Reyes. Get over it. It's gamesmanship and teams have always tailored their field to their own advantage.
Wear the metal spikes Jose and move on. To complain makes the Mets look like whiners.
Teams have forever let the grass grow in the infield to slow down ground balls, sloped the baselines to help their bunters and watered down the infield to slow the opposition.
Ron Darling made an interesting comment when he said are they going to next make them cut the grass.
Another thing I took out of last night's game was the continued stellar pitching of Jon Niese and the starting rotation. Last night he didn't walk a hitter, and is 4-1 with a 1.58 ERA over his last six starts.
Niese is pitching with poise and confidence, and is able to throw what he wants, where he wants and when he wants.
As confident as Niese is, Jason Bay is the opposite and I continue to wonder why Terry Collins won't give him a shot hitting second behind the blistering Reyes. Collins raised the idea several weeks ago, suggesting seeing more fastballs might help Bay, but hasn't moved on it since.
The only way for Bay to break out of this is for him to play. Playing Willie Harris last night was understandable because of his numbers against Jair Jurrjens, but Bay has to get back in there.
Bay can't be traded and won't be demoted, and dropping him in the order hasn't helped. Batting him second needs to be explored.

Building your buying skills is an important step to becoming a well-informed and knowledgeable consumer. The information below provides helpful basic buying tips you can use and apply today.
You can also contact Your Provincial or Territorial Consumer Affairs Office for further information on any of these and other consumer topics, as they may have information that is more specific to the area where you live.
A budget allows you to take control of your personal finances. It can help you see how much money you receive, and how much you spend and save. It also helps you set limits so you don't spend money you don't have.
Research by looking through sale advertisements, consumer magazines or online forums. You can also contact Your Provincial or Territorial Consumer Affairs Office if you have a specific question. Government offices do not compare the prices of products and services however they may be able to help you with other items. For example, they may be able to help explain something you do not understand about a product or to help you understand how a specific type of product, service or industry is regulated.
You may have been at the store and noticed that you have been charged the wrong price for an item. There are many possible reasons for this. For example, the wrong price may have been posted near the item, the correct price has not been registered in the scanner or you may simply have misread the sign. It is important to know your rights and responsibilities about price accuracy before you go shopping. The links below will provide some helpful information.
You may also want to learn about the Scanner Price Accuracy Voluntary Code. This is a code that many retailers have voluntarily agreed to follow when an item is scanned incorrectly. This Code is endorsed by the Competition Bureau.
When you purchase a car, a new cellphone, hire a painter or mover, or purchase insurance you are entering into a contract.
Before signing a contract there are a few things to keep in mind:
In some provinces and territories, there is an automatic cancellation (or cooling-off) period for certain types of contracts. Examples include contracts for services such as credit, dating clubs, health clubs, funeral and cemetery services, time-shares, condominiums, natural gas, electricity and door-to-door sales. The cooling-off period is valid whether the company tells you about it or not.
To find out more about the cooling-off period in your area contact Your Provincial or Territorial Consumer Affairs Office.
Remember, the cooling-off period does not apply to all contracts, so it is very important to make sure you are ready to agree to everything in the contract before signing.
The more planning you do and research you put into finding a contractor, the better your chances of having things turn out to your satisfaction.
To help you find a reputable mover, consult the Consumer Checklist for Choosing a Moving Company and consider the following:

There are many types of scams that are designed to take your money. Look below for some helpful information.
While many people do not realize this, it is possible to negotiate the price of an item in a store. Although it is not common, in some cases a store may offer an extra discount or a reduced price if you ask. This is more likely to happen on items that are soon to be discontinued or are already damaged.
If you decide to try to negotiate the price of an item in a store, remember to be polite and reasonable. Stores do not have to give you an extra discount and in some cases they may not.
Always check the store policy before you buy. Stores do not always have to accept a return or exchange. Unless it is stated in their policy, stores do not have to give you back your money. If the item is damaged stores do need to offer some type of compensation. Although it may be a cash refund, it could also be an offer to replace or repair the item.
If a store does not honour their refund and exchange policy, you can contact Your Provincial or Territorial Consumer Affairs Office for more information.
Buying on credit is easy and convenient, but can also be very expensive. Before buying anything on credit ask yourself if you really need the item. Would you still make the purchase if you had to pay in cash? Take time to shop around and compare.
If you must use credit, use it wisely.
* Some of these resources are provided by the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada.
If you decide to return an item for any reason, it is always best if you have your receipt. To make a claim on a warranty it is always easier if you have your receipts and warranty documents.
Debt can pile up quickly. It is important to watch out for warning signs and to know what to do when it starts to add up.
The links below will point you to tools and information to help you get a handle on your credit and debt.
If you have not paid a debt, you could receive a call from a collection agency. The agency will contact you on behalf of the company to whom you owe money.
There are rules that collection agencies need to follow. For tips and advice on how you should deal with collection agencies, visit the collection agency section of the Canadian Consumer Handbook.
Only you can do this, by paying bills on time. Get a copy of your credit report every year and check it for mistakes.There is no magic fix to repair your credit report. Paying your bills on time is the only way to improve your credit score.
If you've just bought something that you're not happy with, contact the business right away.

Darryl Linington from ITF Gaming writes: Female and male video game characters have always caught the eye of gamers around the world. They even catch the eye of those illusive girl gamers that everyone seems to search for, but can never find. It just seems that fictional characters get our blood flowing in all the right directions, that is why we have compiled a list of the top 20 characters that get our blood flowing. Now before you jump to conclusions, I enlisted the help of Girl Gamer, Ashleigh Venter (yes they do exist) to assist with the male section of this article.
People should stop trying to sexualize video game characters, it's creepy
Cloud looks like a girl. Look at the face structure.
Nova from Starcraft has got to have the sexiest ass.
Would've thought Snake or Raiden would've made the dude list, instead of Ethan and the L4D guy or Desmond Miles.
Also how is Bayonetta not on the babe list?

Homel: Siarhei Serhiyenka questioned in the blast case
Siarhei Serhiyenka, UDF candidate in 35th election district was summoned today to Savetski district police department of Homel. In the summons, signed by senior officer E. Masliukou, Serhiyenka's status was indicated as a "witness". At the same time, the case in which Serhiyenka was supposed to testify, was not mentioned. The investigator who talked with the witness asked questions about the blast on July 3rd: where Serhiyenka was in the night of the blast, and if he had a car. The investigator failed to register Serhiyenka's answers in a protocol. According to Serhiyenka, the investigator did not compose any reports of the conversation at all. The only document which Serhiyenka signed was an id card after dactyloscopy.
- I think this has nothing to do with the election, -- Serhiyenka said. – Most probably, that was because I work with chemical substances in Homel Medical University.

Magazine article Oceanus
WHOI'S New Ship: Neil Armstrong
Article excerpt
The nation's newest research vessel will be named the R/V Neil Armstrong, after the renowned astronaut and first person to set foot on the moon. The ship will be operated by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI).
"We are honored," said WHOI President and Director Susan Avery. "Neil Armstrong is an American hero, whose 'small step' provided humanity with a new perspective on our planet. When he stood on the moon and looked back at the Earth, he saw mostly ocean--the last unexplored frontier on Earth.
The R/V Neil Armstrong will carry on its namesake's legacy of exploration, enabling the next generation of oceanographic science and discovery."
R/V Neil Armstrong is the first oceanographic research vessel named for a space explorer, but the link between space and ocean exploration is not new. Each of NASA's space shuttles was named for a famous oceanographic vessel: Challenger, Columbia, Endeavor, Discovery, and Atlantis, whose namesake was built by WHOI in 1930 to be the first U.S. ship created for ocean research.
In May 2010, the Office of Naval Research selected WHOI to operate one of two new research vessels to be built by the U. …

Pregnancy is a precious period of long wait and turmoil for a couple. All you want is to have a healthy baby, but some parents experience a different aspect of pregnancy. Joshua and Synora Dsouza had become pregnant for the first time after two years of trying to conceive. Their joy knew no bounds, and were eagerly waiting to welcome their baby in the New Year. Little did they know, life had planned otherwise.
All seemed to go well for Synora, when at 20 weeks, Dr. Caroline Alphine, Specialist in Gynecology/Obstetrics noted very low water level in Synora's uterus. Further to this, at week 25, it was discovered that the baby had Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR), a condition in which a baby experiences delayed growth and doesn't grow as a normal baby does inside the womb. The baby was behind by 10-14 days which was a major concern as it could put the child at the risk of various health conditions, during the pregnancy, at birth or after it. Synora was advised to be extremely careful and to increase her visits for scans. At week 27 of her checkup, Dr. Caroline found protein in Synora's urine indicating that her kidneys were overworking and could potentially lead to kidney failure. This was a time of distress, as the mother and the child were in danger. An emergency C-section was performed due to concerns of maternal and fetal health.
"I was so stressed when I was asked to get admitted that my BP shot up to 190 over 120", said Synora. Dr. Caroline said, "Every extra minute the child had in the womb would matter, hence we managed to stabilize the mother and child and also delayed the pregnancy by a week". However when they thought everything was under control, Synora suffered severe preeclampsia causing the separation of the placenta before the delivery. "The baby's heart beat dropped and we couldn't detect movement in the womb. Synora had also lost a lot of blood and had numerous clots in her stomach" added Dr. Caroline.
The wait for Synora to come out of the operation theatre seemed like the longest hours of his life for Joshua. Every parent wishes to hear their child's first cry, but Sydelle was different. Born extremely pre-term at 27 weeks she was rushed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), ventilated and given nutritional support for the first few days.
"It was an extremely emotional time for us. We were in the same room as Sydelle but couldn't even touch or hold her until she grew stronger" recalls Joshua.
Sydelle was admitted in the NICU for 63 days and discharged upon completion of 35 weeks. She had doubled her weight by then and Joshua and Synora took her home two weeks before her actual due date to celebrate the New Year together.
"Sydelle is a fighter and a survivor, but most of all she's a gift," rightly quoted Dr. Ramanathan Venkiteswaran, Medical Director and Consultant in Pediatrics and Neonatology.

Register by Feb. 6 for Winter Trails & Naturalist Tales
Staff Report
Embrace winter's beauty through outdoor exploration and indoor inspiration at University of Illinois Extension's fourth annual Winter Trails & Naturalist Tales from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 8.
Winter Trails & Naturalist Tales will be at Severson Dells Nature Center, 8786 Montague Road, Rockford, and includes two "naturalist tales" keynote speakers, a "winter trails" outdoor guided hike, and lunch. This year's event will focus on endangered and threatened plant and animal species in Illinois.
The morning naturalist tale will focus on state-threatened ornate box turtles. Ornate box turtle numbers have dwindled throughout Illinois because of fragmentation of their sand prairie habitat. Jeramie Strickland, wildlife biologist for the United States Fish & Wildlife Service, will showcase an ongoing restoration project with the goal of reestablishing a self-sustaining, viable population of ornate box turtles at Lost Mound, part of the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge in Savanna, Ill.
Next, U of I Extension Master Naturalist volunteers will lead you on a fun and educational winter ecology hike through Severson Dells Forest Preserve. View telltale signs of resident wildlife and learn to identify animal tracks, scat, feathers, dens, kill sites and more, all while enjoying the serene beauty of the winter trails.
Finally, the afternoon naturalist tales presentation will feature Susanne Masi, recently retired manager of regional floristics at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Masi will share details, stories, trends and major findings of the Chicago Botanic Garden's volunteer-based Plants of Concern program, where she and numerous citizen scientist volunteers have documented and monitored more than 260 endangered, threatened or rare plant species throughout the Chicagoland region. She will highlight the work performed over her illustrious career as well as the important role that volunteers play in conservation.
Winter Trails and Naturalist Tales costs $30 per person and includes lunch, two keynote speakers and a guided outdoor hike. For more information or to register, visit web.extension.illinois.edu/jsw or call (815) 986-4357. Pre-registration is requested by Feb. 6.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,PLAINTIFF-APPELLEE,v.STEVEN PAUL OLIVER,DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. No. 96-CR-5 John C. Shabaz, Chief Judge.
Before Posner, Chief Judge, and Flaum and Rovner, Circuit Judges.
Flaum, Circuit Judge.
Argued April 7, 1997
Decided JULY 17, 1997
Steven Oliver appeals his conviction for kidnapping under 18 U.S.C. sec. 1201 and for the interstate transportation of a minor for illegal sexual purposes under 18 U.S.C. sec. 2423 (the Mann Act). Before this court, Oliver argues that the district court's refusal to grant a continuance or, in the alternative, to suppress the DNA and serological evidence, deprived him of the effective assistance of counsel. He further argues that the district court erred at sentencing by departing upwards two levels without a proper evidentiary basis to show that Oliver caused his victim extreme psychological injury. Believing Oliver's trial to have been fundamentally fair, and the departure to have been well within the authority of the district court, we affirm both conviction and sentence.
Steven Oliver abducted a thirteen year-old girl from Wisconsin and lived with her in a series of Texas motels for three and one half months. He subjected his victim to daily sexual assaults. Tipped off through "America's Most Wanted," the FBI arrested Oliver on December 29, 1995. At the time of his arrest, the FBI conducted an inventory search of Oliver's room in a Houston Days Inn, and articles of clothing and bed sheets thought to be stained with semen were sent to FBI headquarters for evaluation.
Oliver was indicted on January 31, 1996, for both kidnapping and violating the Mann Act. A week later, an attorney was appointed for him. Jury selection and trial were slated to begin June 17. In a letter dated April 29, 1996, the government informed the defense that it intended to use the lab results and expert testimony relating to the garments collected from the motel room. The FBI lab tests, however, were not yet complete; the government kept the defense apprised of its progress and of the qualifications of its experts.
On May 3, the court moved the trial date up to June 3. In part because the test results were not yet available, both parties asked for a continuance. The defense hoped to obtain independent testing, a process which reportedly required two to three weeks at a minimum; in the alternative, the defense sought suppression of the lab evidence. After a hearing, the court moved the trial date a week forward to June 10 and denied the motion to suppress the forthcoming lab reports. Test results still not in hand, the government renewed its motion for a continuance. The defense, perhaps calculating that no test results were preferable to government test results unchallenged by defense testing, contested the motion for the continuance. The district court, relenting slightly on its strict schedule so that both sides could have testing completed, set jury selection and trial for June 24.
As of May 31, the physical evidence was available to the defense for the purpose of independent testing. *fn1 On June 3, the defense received the government's lab reports. On June 12, the defense sent the evidence to an independent lab to be tested. Trial commenced on June 24. That day and the next, the government put on its case, consisting of testimony from, among others, the victim, the victim's mother, a witness from the Texas motel, and two expert witnesses. Through DNA and serological tests, the government's expert witnesses linked the semen found on the victim's underwear to the defendant, and thus corroborated the victim's testimony of sexual abuse. The defense received its preliminary lab results on June 26, and put on its case, including an expert witness, that very day. The defense's preliminary results were not inconsistent with those of the government: independent tests confirmed that the semen on the victim's underwear was that of the defendant. Oliver's theory of defense with respect to the DNA evidence was that the semen stains on the victim's underwear were not a result of intercourse. The jury convicted Oliver on both counts.
After the guilty verdict, reflecting on the cramped nature of the time-frame he had imposed with regard to the DNA evidence, the judge stated, "I'm going to suggest if you have any further concerns with that [handling of DNA evidence] that you do continue to use governmental funds to have the full and complete DNA performed by your expert so that the Court can consider that at sentencing in the event you continue to pursue this issue in this case." Defense counsel, prior to the sentencing hearing, informed the court that the test results came back "inconclusive" and that he had no intention of adding any evidence to the case.
At sentencing, the judge departed two levels upwards based on the victim's psychological pain and injury. The court also departed upwards an additional five levels due to the number of sexual acts committed by the defendant. The court, on it own motion, then departed two levels downward, from 44 to 42, so as to sentence Oliver for a term of years, rather than for life. *fn2 Oliver was sentenced to 480 months in prison for kidnaping and 120 months, to run concurrently, for the Mann Act violation.
On direct appeal, Oliver pursues a somewhat counterintuitive strategy. He argues that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel and thus deprived of his rights under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments. Oliver does not contend, however, that his trial counsel did anything wrong. Rather, Oliver maintains that the trial court's unwillingness to grant a continuance, or in the alternative to suppress the DNA ...

Patna: JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar on Saturday appealed to arch rival Lalu Prasad, besides Congress and CPI for support to ensure victory of party candidates in the bypoll for two Rajya Sabha seats in Bihar on June 19.
"BJP is the main conspirator in the RS bypoll (for supporting rebellion within JD-U and backing two Independents). It wants to destabilise the Jitan Ram Manjhi government and thrust an early election in Bihar," Kumar said.
"I have talked to Lalu Prasad, Congress state chief Ashok Choudhary, its legislature party leader Sadanand Singh and CPI secretary Rajendra Singh seeking their support for victory of two JD(U) candidates in the bypoll to the Rajya Sabha in Bihar," Kumar told reporters at the JD(U) headquarters here.
Asked whether his appeal to Prasad arose from political compulsion, Kumar said, "No, it is because of the prevailing political circumstances as we have to fight a common enemy in BJP which is mocking us."
Senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi, however, ridiculed Kumar for `begging` his arch rival Prasad against whom he fought for past two decades for victory of his candidates in the RS by-poll.
"BJP has no interest to destabilise the Jitan Ram Manjhi government which is being remote-controlled by Nitish Kumar. He has set his house on fire and blaming BJP for it," he told reporters.
"The truth is that he is an expert in engineering defection in other parties. He fomented dissension within RJD resulting in defection of 13 MLAs and ultimately asking three of them to resign from Assembly to bring down the strength of the House," he alleged.

Neurocore provides brain tests whose goal it is to improve concentration. Neurocore believes that your brain can change consistently throughout life. Tests include brainwave analysis using qEEG technology, along with heart rate, and breathing analysis, and various diagnostic tests to see what is going on in your brain. The program is then customized to suit your brain's needs with positive reinforcement and repetition. Neurofeedback trains your brain to function better and in more efficient ways. Neurocore believes that the core of the problem is the way your brain works or doesn't work as it is desired by the client.
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a technology that measures the electrical patterns of the brain on the surface of the scalp. qEEG is called quantitative electroencephalography and processes the recorded EEG on multi-electrodes to a computer. It is Neurocore's goal to analyze other variables besides EEG such as Heart Rate Variable (ERV), which measures your heart rate and breathing patterns to see if the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system function with each other properly. Another Neurocore test is the Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test (IVA), which is a computerized test to detect attention disorders, also measuring sensory processing, impulsivity, and attention.
A behavioral checklist of reported or observed behaviors is a way to use data gathered through new brainwave mapping technology while a neurofeedback session is about watching a movie that plays with your brain speed in the therapeutic range. If your brain speed goes out of range, the movie then pauses which means something is not in balance. In 30 sessions, your brain learns how to stay in range. Biofeedback teaches you how to breathe deeper, improve heart function to maximum efficiency, which allows for better blood and oxygen flow. Try NeuroCore Brain Test Centers to improve your brain function in a variety of ways.

Ambitious new series about the rise of notorious 'narco-terrorist' Pablo Escobar
Netflix, starts Friday, 28 August

Editor's Choice: Sailor and Fiddler by Herman Wouk
Sailor and Fiddler by Herman Wouk, Simon and Schuster, 142 pages, $20. Here's a pleasure between covers that you wouldn't expect: a slender, hugely companionable book of tiny autobiographical sketches by one of the inventors of the modern-style middlebrow blockbuster best-seller. And it's being published in honor of what was its author's 100th birthday last May.
Herman Wouk, then, now becomes a trailblazing centenarian charmer along with the author of "The Caine Mutiny," "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial," "Marjorie Morningstar," "Youngblood Hawke," "The Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance." Except for the play "Court Martial," any one of those books dropped on your toe in a dark room might be cause for a visit to the emergency room. And here's this slender and completely unexpectely beguiling book of barely 142 pages, all separated into tiny thoughts and vignettes that are peppery and often lovable.
Wouk tells us that he always tells "aspiring writers" that "literature is a mug's game. The author of 'Moby Dick' died in his seventies utterly forgotten, everything he wrote long out of print. Not one newspaper notes his obituary. Some thirty years after he died ... the academic field of American literature was swamped by a tsunami of second thoughts about (Herman) Melville. ... A mug's game, I say, a crapshoot. The stake's one's heart's blood. Young aspirers to literature who face the stakes open-eyed, yet roll the dice, have my grandfatherly blessing and a ghostly kiss. Writing for a living is something else entirely."
So here's Herman Wouk, an authentic whale of writing for a living telling us that it was Isaiah Berlin for who first told him to write his autobiography, that he once wrote radio gags for Fred Allen under the influence of his father "convulsing us kids with" Shalom Alecheim's "drolleries." John P. Marquand wanted to warn him that ill repute from critics awaited "Marjorie Morningstar." Charles Laughton directed "Court Martial," and now-forgotten novelist Calder Willingham encouraged "Hawke" but excoriated "The Winds of War." Wouk's late-life "Inside and Outside" was an all-out hit, even among "mugs." Herewith the life of a "professional writer," who's now 100. Bless him. – Jeff Simon

I have been craving semi-raw tuna plus salad for two weeks now. I have seen a picture of it in a food magazine and couldn't stop thinking about it. As I am crazy about food this happens to me quite often actually. I can't put food out of my head.
So today it was seared tuna with a super fresh sprouts salad. This dish has some kind of an asian appeal. Also because of the aromatic taste of roasted sesame, which I really like.

Seven students at Annapolis High School could face criminal charges stemming from a Monday morning fracas in the school's cafeteria, according to Anne Arundel County police and school officials.
Anne Arundel County police spokesman Justin Mulcahy said officers responded to a call at 7:05 a.m. at the school, where a fight between three students had escalated into a brawl between seven.
He said all seven students — including two that are old enough to be charged as adults — will face criminal charges, though he could not immediately say what the charges would be.
He said there were no reports of weapons used in the fight, though a chair was apparently thrown, he said. Mulcahy said an ambulance had been called to the scene but was subsequently canceled before arrival.
Anne Arundel County Public Schools spokesman Bob Mosier said the fracas apparently began over something that appeared on a social media website over the weekend.
Mosier said during the fracas, about 100 people gathered to watch and the student resource officer intervened. One student suffered a bloody nose in the incident, he said.
Mosier said that incident is still under investigation, and a letter about the fight will be sent home with students to parents on Monday.

The Latest Alinskyite Attacks On Trump Staffer Sebastian Gorka
Sebastian Gorka's real sin isn't anti-Semitism or self-promotion – it is understanding and, through his writing and media appearances, showing a bright light on what we call the Red – Green Axis; the alliance between Islamists, especially those aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood, and Democrats.
Why Tech Giants Joined The Red – Green Axis Against Trump
- Alphabet
- Amazon
- anti-American organizations
- anti-Semitism
- Apple
- Black Bloc
- Chuck Schumer
- Comcast
- Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)
- Democracy Alliance
- Democratic Party
- Eric Schmidt
- Expedia
- George Soros
- H1B guest worker visas
- Hillary Clinton
- homosexuals
- Human Rights Campaign
- Islamic law
- Jake Tapper
- Joel Kotkin
- Judge Ann Donnelly
- Julian Assange
- Lyft
- microsoft
- Muslim Brotherhood
- Obama
- Open Society Foundation
- Red-Green Axis
- Sergey Brin
- The Groundwork
- U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
- U.S. Refugee Admissions Program
- Uber
- United States v. Curtiss-Wright
Tech firms aren't opposing President Trump's immigration orders to defend the rule of law, quite the opposite, they have joined forces with the radical Left because they are the primary beneficiaries of the kind of crony capitalism that Donald Trump has promised to end, and joining the Red – Green Axis provides them with the shock troops in the streets that they need to protect their power and profits.
Candidate Tells The Truth About Islam Gets Thrown Out Of Democratic Party
- anti-American organizations
- anti-Semitism
- Chuck Schumer
- Democracy Alliance
- Democratic National Committee
- Democratic Party
- George Soros
- Haim Saban
- Hillary Clinton
- homosexuals
- Human Rights Campaign
- Islamic law
- Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman
- Jake Tapper
- Red-Green Axis
- Rep. Keith Ellison
- sharia law
- Vincent Tolliver
Vincent Tolliver is being kicked-out of the Democratic Party's race for Chairman because Rep. Keith Ellison is the candidate of the Soros-funded Red – Green Axis and the radical anti-American organizations supported by the Far-Left mega-donors of the Democracy Alliance.
Deroy Murdock: Fake Anti-Semitism Flap Finds Trump Foes in New Low
How low will Donald J. Trump's foes go to tear him down? Why not concoct a fake anti-Semitism flap? The Washington Post's baseless hatchet job libeling Donald Trump, Steve Bannon and Matthew Tyrmand as anti-Semites proves to be manipulative and truly vile.
Kristallnacht In America
In the face of violent anti-Semitism and near riots by Islamists from Boston to Los Angeles you can't find a statement from a major national figure in America condemning the violence toward Jews.

It is important for a design agency to change with the times and adopt new ideas and approach the market with the most cutting edge [&hellip
Almost every person wants to become a perfect man in his professional career, but for this purpose you should do some other essential things that will prove useful for you. But I'd like to say that nobody gets success over night for this purpose one has to do lots of hard working, because it's not like a plane selling job. By this progress of internet and technology we can see development everywhere because it's a wonderful benefit of this development, in this regard there are many people who are working at home and they are working in successful manners. But for this purpose you should have some wonderful professional skills, I'd like to say that freelancing is also getting lots of progress and there are many people who like to work at home according to their desired manners.
For this purpose one has to write Emails to attract the clients or boss, it's not like your formal Emails that you send to your friends, because you are going to get a client you should do some extra effort in your Emails. Basically today I am going to share some simple and useful methods to write Emails that will help you, for your business your client is the most important because he is providing you a chance to earn something.
Now it's up to you that how you'll inspire him, because if you'll Email him in a non-professional way you cannot inspire him. Almost every person want to get success rapidly in the professional career, you can use this strategy of Emailing, and make an impact on others. Basically nobody is perfect from the early days but using some essential things you can become perfect in your professional
Every person has some desires and ambitions in his mind and throughout all the life he seem full of activity to make them true, but it isn't good as it sound because a person has to do some extra effort in the life not for ambitions but to become successful. Because if you are successful you can make every desire true, but I'd like to say that to become successful you just need to become perfect in a field which is more desirable for you. For example, if you are inclined towards the web page designing, and want to become a successful person you should enter in this field with the core of your heart and make lots of hardworking in creative sense to transform your future from dark to bright.
But there are also many persons who are inclined towards two professions, like I have seen many people who are successful designers and they have also much passion for content writing because they want to play with keywords. However in my professional career I have seen many people who are doing any other job but along with the current job there are many persons who are blogger. In this era blogging is also considered as wonderful way to survive, but in this field you need to work in more creative manners because currently there is gigantic competition among the bloggers, and to become successful you just need to present extra-ordinary work on your blog according to the principles of SEO
In this progressive age there are many departments and fields which are becoming successful day by day, because there are many people who are always full of activity for the new inventions and innovations. Similarly there are also many job opportunities and if you have some professional skills in your hand you can easily earn a suitable amount of income even to be seated at your own home. In this regard blogging is also a wonderful job and in there are many bloggers who are working successfully and spared a useful information about many things.
But to become more successful blogger you should also know about the SEO tips because it's a requirement of Google. If we look at the gigantic world of web there is large amount of results we get through every search, in this regard I'd like to say that Google is a well-known search engine in fact according to my assumptions Google is more than a search engine because there are lots of services we can use present by the Google.
By this progress of Google some people has received face bad effects and good effects, I am talking about blogging, because there are many blogs who were arrive in the search engine are now penalized. In the today's article I am just going to share some useful information that how you can use the proper SEO for your blog to get the maximum traffic
In this advance age internet and technology is part and parcel of everything, in our daily routine life we are using several things that make our life pretty easy and full of facilities. That's why people are also inclined towards advancement, and prefer to join advance departments, even to use as a source of survival. I mean to say that there are also many new departments and fields arrive at the daily basis and if you have some extra skills in the use of technology, if you want to join them. Because technology has no limitations, we can easily estimate that how was the life before ten years and how is it now, there are lots of changings we can see around even the thought of people is also more developed than before, that's why almost every person has also convert their lifestyle according to their desire.
I'd like to say that now people are also inclined towards online business, in this regard, blogging and online website for the business are on top. If you are running a blog or website you should have some extra-ordinary skills, and also has creativity because in this way you can explore new techniques and methods for your work. Basically today I have selected this topic just for the bloggers and website owners, all they are incomplete without Google and that's why they have to follow every rule of Google, it's a key to get success. In this regard Google's Crawl Rate is also playing most important role, if you are working perfectly but you aren't getting success it means you are facing Crawl Rate, below you can see the exact definition of Google Crawl Rate:
Crawl rate refers to the speed of Googlebot's requests during the crawl process. It doesn't have any effect on how often we crawl or how deeply we crawl your URL structure. If you want Google to crawl new or updated content on your site, use Fetch as Google instead.
To get success you have to increase the Google Crawl Rate, if you want to improve your earning, there are many essential factors that stop your Crawl Rate and today we'll discuss upon them. So, just avoid that reasons and do work with full passion in this way you can become successful and the Crawl Rate of your website would also be increase
Every person wants to get the maximum productivity but nobody knows that it can also prove harmful for any person, because if you'll continuously work without a proper rest it can make you mind dull. And in today's article we'll just talk about this topic, in my working career I have seen many people who are just working day and night and don't provide rest and in this way they also become mentally ill. Basically it's a very serious problem and everyone should concentrate, specially is we look towards the designers and writer it's bad for their health as well as their career.
I'd like to say that basically I am a blogger and write articles for some blogs, when I enter in this field I have seen many bloggers, who have no worker, they are working alone in day and out, similarly there are also many other professions in which workers are working without a proper rest. Their lust to become rich over night make them mentally disturb and in this way their productivity also decrease than before and they can also not think the creative ideas. First of all I thought that I should make this article for blogger specific and then I make it's a general article for every reader, and if you are a worker anywhere you can also get the benefit of this article.
However once blogging was very easy for every person and now it has many competition because one has to work in a more creative and unique way because its one and only way you get the maximum traffic and this technique is also appreciated by the Google. If your blog or on website you are continuously most attractive content for your blog or website you can get success as soon as possible, but its only achievable when your mind will be fresh. So below you can see the importance of rest and relaxation while doing the work
Every person has his own priorities in life and that's why they make some standards in life, it's also an important thing that makes our life pretty easy and simple. Some people like to do a job in a company and some like to have their own business, basically the today's article is also about some priorities. Before I get started to start briefing my topic I'd like to say that planning is the most important and basic thing to start any work, and in this way we can also done our job in a well-manners. For example if we look towards the life of an engineer, whenever he start any job must do some research work and brain storming, just for making some best job, similarly designers also do these kind of activities before to start any task.
Basically if we look towards the human psyche, he inclined towards prosperity and happiness and that's why, want to get success in every department of life. But on some occasions it's very hard to become successful easily we need to work hard in our life to achieve success, it's not possible that we become successful over night. In this flux of internet and technology online business has also lots of importance because in this way a business man can also put some internationalism in his business. Similarly blogging is also one of them because blogging is also a kind of online business, and if you are creative enough in blogging you can get wonderful success easily in this field.
However if you are a business man and want to start an online business whether blogging you should make some discussion and Dialogue with a professional before to start. Because in this way you can understand more comprehensively about any field and soon you can also get the success in that field, today I have selected this topic because there are many people who are inclined towards online business and in this way they can do it. There are also many online platforms that are providing you the services about to start any online business, today I am going to talk on important factors about to run a website
In this progressive age everything is getting changed than before because now the people's attention is also developed than before about everything, the main reason is the development of internet and technology. That's why there are many departments and fields arrive to avail them, you just need to have creative skills, because in this way you can get a perfect source of survival easily and become successful in your life. You must have the ability to explore the new techniques, ideas and strategies of your work, because there is a massive competition in the market and using these creative methods you can get success and also leave excellent impressions upon others.
In this regard online business is also getting lots of progress now a days and every business man wants to have a website for his business, on the other hand every person whether jobless or job holder want to have a blog because according to them blogging is a plane selling job. It's very hard to run a blog successfully because this field also has competition and among this race of blogging you have to work through extra ordinary techniques, because it's only the way to get success. The common problem which many bloggers are facing is the increasing bounce rate, and it's not suitable for a blog. Today I am going to tell you very simple and handy techniques to decrease bounce rate of your blog or website
Before I get started to brief on my today's topic I'd like to say that "that performance of a website depends on the content" it's the responsibility of a writer that how he write the content of a website according to the SEO rules. Every user of internet knows that SEO (search engine optimization) is the most important factor of your website, that improve the performance of your blog and you can easily get your targeted traffic. Main purpose of every blogger or website owner to get the maximum traffic because in this way they can get the good fame in this vast world on internet.
My today's topic is especially for bloggers and website owners that how they can make better performance through the writings, it's my general observation that many writers are not focusing properly upon their main goal, especially for bloggers. Basically writing is a field of creativity because a writer needs to work in most unique way, and also according to the SEO because its one and only way to make the better performance of a website or blog.
Now Google has also make known its two amazing services and they are known as Google Panda and Google penguin, because there are also many people who have started the blogging without any proper know-how, there are also many people who have a website for their online business and they don't know how to update it properly. So, Google just want to provide a chance those websites and blogs who are working in a pretty food way and for this purpose Google Panda and Google penguin spoil the performance of those websites and blogs who are producing low quality content. However if we talk about the content of a website then internal linking is also a good thing that is also prove valuable for every blogger in my today's article I am going to present the value of internal linking and if you are a blogger you can also get many advantages from internal linking
Every designer needs to know how to create stickers for the products if he wants to either make his product or the product of his client to fly off the shelves in no time. It might seem out of the ordinary, but there is an extensive marketing research regarding how stickers can work well for selling products. Where you are the designer and your client does not know about the advantage of stickers, it is upon you to create such a design that explains to him the importance of stickers.
Even tough, UPrinting sticker printing services can lessen your burden by offering cost-effective and high quality solutions for printing of stickers; however, there are few things you need to know particularly for designing a sticker. First you need to know how to design a sticker as many designers would feel that even if they don't know the technicalities in designing stickers, they still can. And here are some tips to help you out

Pretty much everyone has seen those weird transparent wormy things occasionally floating across their field of view. They always look a bit unnerving, as though some kind of bug is sitting on your eye. So, what are they?
It turns out they're called 'muscae volitantes', which is Latin for 'flying flies'…but they're actually not flies at all, or any other kind of bug.
Muscae volitantes are made up of tissue, red blood cells, or protein. These small pieces are seen when they move near the back of the eye where the retina is located. We are not seeing the floaters themselves, however the shadow they make on the retina.
Floaters pose no potential health threat at all. They can, however, make some people worried if they do not know exactly what they are seeing.
"Floaters in the eye never worsen the sight, they only make the patient more nervous and frighten him a bit at the beginning because he is afraid of some more serious illness."
Floaters are particularly pronounced if you gaze at something particularly bright, such as a piece of white paper or a blue sky. You'll notice that they move as your eyes move and appear to zoom across your eye as you try to look at them directly.
Floaters are usually just an annoyance that people get used to, but sometimes they can hamper vision and therefore require surgery. This procedure involves removing the vitreous and replacing it with a saline liquid.

I have a Onkyo TX-RZ3100 updated to the latest firmware.
When I connect a 4K (Playstation 4 Pro and Amazon Fire 4K) source to a hdmi socket (HDCP 2.2) on my TX-RZ3100 I only get HDCP 1.4 compliance and 1080p video and not 4k.
TV is 4K HDCP 2.2 compliant (Samsung UE75MU7000 HDR 4K Ultra HD Smart TV, 75")
If I connect the Playstation 4 Pro or Amazon Fire 4K directly to the Samsung TV I get 4K display.
Anyone have any ideas ?

A 30-second HD television commercial can take up to 10TB of data storage while it's in production. Your average major blockbuster film produces 740TB of stored data. A 3-hour professional sports game produces 26TB of storage data (more if it goes into overtime… damn you, Falcons!).
With the wide use of ultra-high resolution video and tapeless workflows, the Media & Entertainment (M&E) industry has seen an exponential growth in data. To complicate matters, special effects, audio, color correction and editing require 8x the storage capacity of old-fashioned HD content.
Yet despite this exponential increase in data, we're seeing a significant increase in the use solid-state storage in every stage of the production cycle. Why? Because they need PERFORMANCE.
500,000 Hours of Digital Content
The MLB Network, for example, uses Tegile flash storage in their post-production environment. During the regular season, they need to record all of the games and produce content for shows like MLB Tonight, The Rundown, Intentional Talk, MLB Now, and Quick Pitch, which focus on the day's activities and give a snapshot of what's going on around the league. In the off-season, they produce several countdown shows, individual player profiles, and other programming that goes behind the daily game and into more of the storytelling about baseball. That's over 500,000 hours of digital content!
They needed a flash storage system that could serve a dual function as a Fibre Channel boot and virtualization storage system. MLB Network's Director of Media Management and Post Production Tab Butler commented, "Tegile's technology allows us to provide our users a low latency, high availability OS environment while simultaneously fulfilling our high-performance virtualization needs. It is a cost-effective solution that allows us to improve our operations while ensuring data integrity." Flash gives M&E organizations like MLB Network the speed, performance, and reliability they need, enabling them to meet those ever-shrinking production deadlines.
The downside to flash, of course, has historically been its high cost per raw gigabyte. In the past, M&E organizations tended to buy less storage and delete valuable video in order to make room for new digital assets. As recently as 2013, organizations archived only 43% of their digital content.
The Best of Both Worlds: Performance and Capacity
The ideal flash storage system for post-production workflows would offer high performance at a low $/GB. Tegile's multi-tiered flash architecture offers both. It leverages different grades of storage media, giving M&E organizations the high performance and low power consumption of persistent memory at one-third the cost of traditional storage. Frequently accessed data remains in the high-performance tier, which contains NVDIMMs and high-performance SSDs, while "cold" data is stored in capacity tier, which can contains either high-density flash or disk.
Another Tegile customer, a leading provider of end-to-end television production and content distribution solutions, has also benefited from our IntelliFlash architecture. They had been using traditional storage, but a ballooning VMware infrastructure gradually overloaded those systems. Almost every business operation is virtualized, including service, training, documentation, software-build operations, and test/dev. End users started to experience slower response times and intermittent access of VMs as the number of VMs grew. They were seeing high CPU usage and high latency of NFS data stores. As a result, VMs took 30 to 50 seconds to boot. It started out happening here and there, but then it became a daily occurrence.
Now with their Tegile flash storage array, they have greatly improved access times and can promote more VMs without constraining resources. Their CPUs now never run over 10% utilization (versus the 80% to 90% they saw with their old storage), which gives them the opportunity to run the same workloads on fewer cores and save on VMware licensing costs.
Moving forward, we expect filmmakers, digital storage/solution providers, M&E experts to rapidly adopt solid-state storage for their production and post-production environments. And because of our multi-tiered flash architecture, Tegile is uniquely positioned to meet their needs for high performance and high capacity.

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.
The FHA 203k loan program provides home buyers the opportunity to buy and fix up a property, without exhausting their personal savings.
Since May 1st 2009, a law was put in place in regards to appraiser, lender, Broker and Realtor relationships. The idea was to sever the appraisers ties primarily with Brokers and lenders in order to help stop the possibility of coercion. It is the Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC).

This was a big week for me in reading (possibly because I was sick all week and read a LOT)! Let's get started.
First up, I finished the Complete Tightwad Gazette by Amy Dacyczyn. If you are looking for new ways to save money, read this book. Since the gazette was printed in the 1990s, some of the information is outdated. One reader tip was that we should email instead of send letters since email is quicker (uh, DUH!). But back in the day, that probably was a really good tip and email was not the norm.
I personally have found new ways to save money because of this book. Please check out my Saving the Moola post on a price book - this has saved us a ton of money already on our grocery bill. We've challenged ourselves to $70 a week (which Amy would say is a lot for 2 people), but it's difficult because we prefer organic and buy that as much as possible. So far, we're doing good with it, though.
If you have kids, this book is a must read. I didn't pay as much attention to these tips as I do not have kids, but there are a lot of good tips.
Also, Amy shared some really unique recipes that I had never seen before. I have a recipe/how-to for making whole-wheat crackers (I didn't even know you could make crackers from scratch!!!), a cheese ball recipe, and a hot chocolate recipe (using powdered milk).
Amy also shared tips on saving on car insurance. Since we don't drive often (about 200 miles a week total between Jason and I), we will be able to save on that. Check with your car insurance provider to see what steps you need to take to get a low-mileage discount. We will have to install a Snapshot device in our car (device provided free from Progressive) and drive with it so it records how often we're driving.
Next up are my fiction books I read this week. I was dubious of Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda because I tend to not like books that have plots set in different countries - don't ask me why because I don't know. I just don't resonate with them. I guess I'm too American. But, I really liked this book. It was really interesting, and I learned a lot. I even wikipediaed India afterward to learn more about the country. If you have a soft spot for adopted kids or for kids who come from countries who don't value children, read this book. It was englightening beyond what I had already knew (that a lot of countries do not favor girls - to the point of killing them as soon as they are born).
I was so excited when I saw Rachel Herron was continuing her Cypress Hollow series. If you love to knit or read about knitting, this book is definitely for you. Her first book is How to Knit a Love Song, and the second book, which I read this week, is How to Knit a Heart Back Home. Her third book in the series, Wishes and Stitches, will be released later this year. This series is a bit smutty, but not too much (thank goodness), but I really really like this series. I liked the first one a bit better, only because it really sets the scene for the second book, and I presume, the third book.
I was (keyword: was) so excited when I first read the synopsis for Man in the Woods by Scott Spencer. I enjoy thriller, suspense-type books (love Mary Higgins Clark!). But this book was a huge disappointment. First, it was just boring. It was not intriguing at all. A man goes into the woods to relax, basically, then finds a man kicking a dog. A fight ensues, and the man who was kicking a dog dies (rightfully so, might I add - you kick a dog, you should die). Spoiler alert: the man who kills him is never found out, but I didn't even really care. The whole story was boring. Man kills man, first man is horrified at what he did, and blah blah blah. Don't read this book. Or if you do, tell me if you thought it was as boring as I thought it was.
I first heard of Megan Hart's book, Precious and Fragile Things, through Goodreads.com. I love this website - if you can join, find me and we can be friends! I was a little freaked out when I saw she typically writes erotica.... but rest assured, this is not an erotica book. It is a thriller-ish book, and I really liked it and hated it at the same time - which really is what any good book makes you feel. I think this book would be perfect for a January read.
Last night, I finished Choker by Elizabeth Woods. This is technically a young adult book, but the storyline was a bit mature, I thought. I don't want to say too much for fear of giving away the ending, but this book was really really good and perfect for our generation. A girl is bullied at school, and her best friend returns but is hiding out at her house. Two girls that bullied the first girl end up dead, and at first, they're thought to have drowned and commited suicide. Until it looks like someone killed them... who is the murderer? It will surprise you!
Because I read so many books this week and wanted to share them with you, Jason is taking this week off from This Book Room, but he wanted to share that he is still continuing the Southern Vampire series and looks forward to sharing with you all next week!

The GOO GOO DOLLS have become one of the most globally respected and influential forces in popular music history, selling more than 10 million albums since 1986.
They have had an unprecedented string of 13 Number One and Top Ten multi-format hit singles including "Name," "Slide", "Black Balloon", "Broadway," "Here Is Gone," "Big Machine," "Sympathy," "Stay With You", "Let Love In", "Before It's Too Late", "Jim's Theme" (Treasure Planet)," and "Better Days," which, due to its uplifting lyrical spirit, was adopted by CNN as an music bed anthem of sorts for the news channel's Hurricane Katrina recovery coverage. "Iris," from the City Of Angels soundtrack, spent nearly 12 straight months on the Billboard charts and held the Number One position for 17 consecutive weeks. By that point, sales of the soundtrack exceeded a phenomenal 10 million copies worldwide. Recently IRIS was also reported by Billboard magazine to be the biggest pop radio song of the last 20 years. The first single from their last album SOMETHING FOR THE REST OF US, "Home", extended the band's record to 14 top ten hits at the hot AC radio format (more than any other artist in the history of that format).
Between the years 1987 and 2013, the band have toured the globe countless times, performed in front of millions of fans, received numerous awards (including four Grammy Award nominations), recorded and released nine studio albums, a compilation, a live DVD, and Volume One of their Greatest Hits. Volume Two (a box set of rarities, B-sides, demos, videos, and concert performances) was released Summer of 2008.

"We are still exiled from N.O. and miss our coffee and chicory Morning Call, " writes L. LaB. "Buying canned or bagged coffee and chicory from our favorite places there has gotten too expensive, mostly because of the high shipping/handling costs versus what it cost to make yourself.
"I would like to try using roasted chicory which I purchase inexpensively, but am not sure of the proportion of roasted chicory to use per cup of coffee. Any recommendations to some of us in San Fran? Thanks."
L., the formula seems to vary, so you're going to have to experiment. Promoters recommend one part chicory to three parts coffee. Sharon Stallworth Nossiter's essay on cafe brulot in "New Orleans Cuisine: Fourteen Signature Dishes and Their Histories" quotes coffee industry executive Tommy Westfeldt (yes, this Carnival's Rex), who recommends no more than 10 percent chicory, unless the blend is for cafe au lait, in which case it can be 20 percent. (See the book for more about how chicory came to be in New Orleans' cup.)
Store chicory in a sealed container. The plant from which chicory root is harvested, roasted and ground is related to the chicory of salad greens, as well as endive. It's grown in the upper Midwest, as well as in Europe.
Some sources say chicory can be brewed by itself, resulting in a caramel-flavored beverage that can be served hot or cold. It darkens the color of coffee, and the extract made according to this little recipe I found on www.thecajunconnection.com can be used to color gravies, stews, rye breads or other foods that need to be darkened. You could also add a little of it to puddings or desserts.
Please note: If anybody comes up with a dessert recipe using this extract and it turns out really well, e-mail it to me!
Chicory Extract
Combine in a saucepan 3/4 cup ground roast chicory and 11/2 cups water. Bring to a boil and simmer 3 minutes. Remove from heat, let stand 15 minutes, strain. Store in covered jar in refrigerator. Use to flavor desserts or as a coloring agent.

AN ITALIAN TWIST: "I am in search of an Italian twist bread recipe, " writes J.T.
Do any of you bread bakers out there have a recipe for this local favorite? If so, please send it in to share. Thanks very much.
And for your trouble, here's something seasonal and similar that I found in our database, from 1997. The recipe was shared by local baker Ed Patin of the Maison De Patisserie in the Bywater.
Easter Bread Italian Twist with Colored Eggs
Makes one 12-inch bread ring
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 ( 1/4-ounce) package dry active yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2/3 cup scalded milk, cooled to 70 degrees
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 large eggs
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 teaspoon oil of anise*
1/4 cup blanched almonds, chopped (optional)
Vegetable oil
Egg wash: 1 egg beaten with 2 tablespoons cream or milk
In a large mixing bowl using dough hook attachments, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, yeast, salt and lemon zest. Mix together the milk and butter and knead for 2 minutes on medium speed. Add 2 eggs and 1/2 cup flour; knead for 2 minutes on high speed. Stir in fruit, nuts and anise oil; mix well.
Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured board (use an additional 1/2 cup of flour); knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until dough has doubled, about 1 hour.
Dye remaining six eggs (do not cook first); when dry, lightly rub dyed eggs with vegetable oil. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
When dough has risen, punch down. Divide in half; roll each piece into a 24-inch rope. Loosely twist ropes together to form a braid; place on a greased baking sheet and form into a ring. Pinch ends together. Brush ring with egg wash. Tuck dyed eggs into the braid. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown; remove from pan and cool on a wire rack. Eggs will be cooked during the baking.
