CHIPLEY � Victor Finch, a Chipley man fighting cancer at a hospital in Texas, was the subject of a recent fundraiser.
CHIPLEY � Victor Finch, a Chipley man fighting cancer at a hospital in Texas, was the subject of a recent fundraiser.
The donations went to help with Finch�s medical expenses while receiving extensive chemotherapy treatments for stage 4 melanoma cancer at the M.D. Anderson Cancer
Center in Houston. Finch and his mother, Nancy, have been living near the hospital since Jan. 6.
His wife, Heather, is 9-months pregnant and staying at home in Chipley with their four-year-old daughter, Rae, who is in Pre-Kindergarten.
Finch said he hopes his schedule will permit him to return home in April to be at the birth of his second daughter.
�We have been overwhelmed at the generosity of others during our difficult time and want them to know how much we appreciate them,� said Heather Finch in an e-mail.
�We would like to thank everyone involved in the planning, coordinating, ticket-selling, grilling, and delivering of Boston butts for the Victor Over Cancer fundraiser held
at Ronnie B GOODS on Thursday, March 28.�
Victor Finch said he would like to strongly encourage everyone to be vigilant about checking themselves and their loved ones for suspicious-looking moles and to see a dermatologist immediately when any changes in shape, size, color, or texture is noticed in a mole.
An annual full-body scan by a doctor is also extremely important. Finch said, "You don't want to go through what I am experiencing right now."

As much food as was practical was taken along on the trip: fresh and dried fruits and vegetables, cornmeal, and preserved meat. Before leaving, women would bake and dry loaves of bread. When dry the bread was lighter and longer-lasting so as to be practical for such an overland journey. Eliza McAuley describes her family's food preparations for the journey.
In the East there were to be found wild fruits and nuts and wild greens could be had. Flapjacks were the most common meal, being quick and easy with available ingredients. White flour was extremely scarce. In the early days of immigration there was plenty of hunting. In later years the domestic hog was common. Jennie Wriston tells about food availability and meal preparation on the trail.
The staple of the Western diet was corn. The nutritive value of $1 worth of corn was equal to $2.50 of wheat or $4 of potatoes. In 1862, the Nebraska Farmer published a list of thirty-three ways to cook corn. Among them were the following:
- corn-meal mush or hasty pudding
- dry corn and milk (parched corn, ground and eaten with milk)
- samp (yellow corn crushed, but not ground, and boiled the same as for hasty pudding)
- corn on the cob (green corn or roasting ears)
- dried corn
- hominy (a dish made by taking the hulls off corn with lye and boiling the kernels)
- corn cake
- apple corn-bread (corn meal and other ingredients mixed with raw apples and baked)
- corn dodgers
- pumpkin Indian loaf (a kind of corn cake made of corn meal, pumpkin, and molasses together with other ingredients)
- corn-bread
- white pot (milk, eggs, corn meal, and sweetening)
- Indian dumpling
- corn muffins
- griddle cakes
- baked Indian pudding
- maize gruel
The other Western staple was coffee. When it could not be had alternatives were varied: parched barley, parched rye, parched wheat, okra seeds, dried carrots, and others.
Sweetening was treasured and difficult to obtain, particularly in the early part of settlement. White sugar was the most scarce. In the near West maple sugar and honey were used. In the farther West sorghum molasses was more common.
In all, the pioneer diet was monotonous and not particularly healthy. It could take several seasons to get a kitchen garden going and for the family to be settled enough to eat properly. Goods such as white sugar and white flour could be had only from the store which could be several days drive away or unreachable. As towns grew up and railroads grew out the procuring of these products would be made easier.
"I made me some tea, eat a bite, left Ollie frying some potatoes for her breakfast & Annis"
"She had roast pork with dressing, homminy, buiscuits [sic] & butter, coffee."
Emily French
"The next morning we commenced unpacking; do not remember much about it; only how rich I felt when I descended into the depths of Mrs. Bright's clothes basket, where I found knives and forks, iron spoons, two nice sauce-pans, graters, baking tins, spittoons, and many other things that came in play and were useful."
"About this time came court week, the first court that had been held, after my arrival. After breakfast, as your father was starting for the court house, two miles distant, he told me he should invite Starr and Mills home to dinner, and having the addition of a Baptist minister from Maine, who had quartered himself upon us, I had the table set for eight, with ample provisions for that number. But what was my astonishment when instead of the two invited guests they kept up the cavalcade until fourteen had dismounted in front of the house. Someone had told them that they were to dine the court that day, and without waiting for an invitation they pushed on, as hungry men would instinctively do. The first thing for me was to repair to the kitchen and put Doris in the way of preparing a dish of ham and eggs. Then, in the presence of all the bar, with Doris' help I lengthened the table, and with much planning and squeezing succeeded in getting their honors around the board. The chickens, which would have been all-satisfying on my first table, dwindled into insignificance on my lengthened board. The vegetables were dealt out sparingly, but thanks to ham and eggs my distinguished guests seemed full and happy. My poor pot pudding I had made with such care and satisfaction, and the exquisite sauce, its accompaniment, was most sparingly divided, much to my mystification. There was some consolation in perceiving that some of the gentlemen had discovered the mistake of intention, and were not a little mortified at their position."
Christiana Holmes Tillson
"Ultimately, they were left behind and a halt was made for dinner. This consisted largely of food already cooked and contributed by neighbors who wished to so some last thing for the family to whom they had become greatly attached during their five year residence. To the children it appeared to be a huge picnic, and they were prepared to enjoy it to the full. To the older, steadier members of the family it was the beginning of a great adventure, with the end not in sight."
"Meals on the journey were not elaborate. Biscuits could be baked in the Dutch ovens. Corn dodgers were made only of corn meal, salt, and water and fried in salt pork fat until cooked through and browned--tastier than one would imagine from the description. Of course we had that old standby of the pioneers, the pancake or flapjack. Then there was fried pork, with now and then a jack rabbit or a prairie hen, and later plenty of meat from the game found as we progressed. I must not forget that we had milk from the cows of the herd and eggs--not many, but some--from the hen coop on the back of the wagon. Fresh vegetables had been purchased as long as farms and gardens were left behind. It must be remembered that it was before the days of canned vegetables, and potatoes and turnips were all we had."
Jennie Atcheson Wriston
"Found one good large stove which we used to cook in."
Martha S. Read
"We have a plentiful supply of provisions, including dried fruits and vegetables, also a quantity of light bread cut into slices and dried for use when it is not convenient to bake."
"Sunday, May 16th. While we were getting supper, the Pawnee chief and twelve of his braves came and expressed a desire to camp with us. Their appetites are very good and it takes quite an amount of provisions to entertain them hospitably, but some willow boughs strewn around the camp fire suffices them for a bed."
Eliza Ann McAuley

Elaine Cameron-Weir latest work, titled Venus Anadyomene, 2014,consists of five similar pieces, each made a giant clam shell edged with neon tubing, and high-fire ceramic vessel each filled with olive oil, wick, flame, sand, mica, frankincense, benzoin, myrrh, brass. Each piece, suspended from the gallery by a brass rod, while the incense slowly burns.
Varying ideas of birth and bringing to life are present in the works, from the title (meaning 'Venus Rising from the Sea', a story of the Greek Goddess Aphrodite's birth (and a famous work by Titian). The title of the work references both art history and god creation, as do the shells, which bring to mind Botticelli's masterpiece of the Roman Goddess Venus (and one of the most recognizable and imitated paintings ever created). Meanwhile, the scent element in the gallery space of burning frankincense and myrrh recall the Christian nativity story and the birth of Jesus Christ, echoing the gifts brought by the Three Wisemen. Present throughout Cameron-Weir's work are ideas of how symbolism is omnipresent to ideas of myth-making.
Elaine Cameron-Weir's Venus Anadyomene, 2014 is currnetly on view now through April 6th at Ramiken Crucible in New York City.

NMT Goal Program Grows as Enrollment Increases, Oct. 19, 1999
SOCORRO, N.M., October 19, 1999 -- With 1,511 students enrolled at New Mexico Tech this fall semester, student enrollment is currently higher at the state-supported research university than it has been since 1994, says Carl J. Popp, Tech's vice president for academic affairs.
Last fall semester, there were 1,449 students enrolled at Tech, so this semester's student enrollment shows a 4.3 percent increase.
When new freshman and transfer students are singled out, Popp says, the increase in enrollment is even more marked: 13 percent more students in that specific category for a total of 334 new undergraduate faces in the classrooms at New Mexico Tech.
Despite these enrollment gains, if current statistics concerning retention also hold true, one out of four of those new faces won't return to Tech next year.
In an attempt to keep more of those Tech freshmen and transfer students coming back to the university for their sophomore year, school administrators launched the Group Opportunities for Activities and Learning (GOAL) program in 1996.
Since then, students who voluntarily participate in GOAL have typically numbered between 60 and 70 students each semester.
"We group GOAL students together in the same sections of their introductory classes," explains Popp. "GOAL students also live next to each other in the same dormitory. Additionally, we provide opportunities for them to study as groups and also to share various social activities."
Bill Stone, a New Mexico Tech math professor who also serves as director of the GOAL program, says that an important component of the transition program is the "feeling of belonging" which GOAL tends to impart to its participants.
Several GOAL program participants have told Stone that GOAL has helped them "fit in a lot quicker" and, as a result, they feel "more at home" on the Tech campus.
Stone points out that a marked sense of community seems to quickly develop among GOAL students.
"I've even read articles in the student newspaper where students have identified themselves as participants of the GOAL program, even though the stories have nothing to do with GOAL,"
Stone relates.
Much of the success of the New Mexico Tech GOAL program in developing a sense of community among its participants can be attributed to the resident assistants (RAs) the program employs and assigns as "live-in mentors" on GOAL floors of campus residence halls, Stone adds.
"The GOAL RAs are largely responsible for planning social activities for our GOAL students, such as sponsoring dances or taking a van full of students to the State Fair," Stone says. "They also keep track of whether or not study groups are working, and often become aware of students who are on the verge of getting into academic problems before anyone else does."
GOAL RA Jeff McDonald concurs that students forming their own "community" is a major benefit of the GOAL program.
"We have 60 or more students in the same classes, all of them away from home, probably for the first time, and, in general, all of them are going through basically the same changes and adjustments," McDonald explains. "GOAL students can look around their classes and see a bunch of people that they live next to, and that makes it a lot easier to form study groups and meet other people. . . . In general, this is added help that most other freshmen don't get.
"Getting to know 60 other students and making friends with them, participating in study groups, living in proximity to your classmates, and getting actively involved with groups and organizations on campus--these are just some of the facets of GOAL which make it less likely that freshmen students are going to leave Tech after one or two semesters," McDonald adds.
As part of the GOAL program, participants are required to take a semester-long class, "Strategies of the Successful Student," which covers germane topics such as academic success skills, community building, and personal and professional development.
Richard Ortega, director of Tech's Office for Advancement, teaches two to three sections of the "Strategies of the Successful Student" class each semester and has observed that students who take the class are generally "more satisfied with their collegiate experience and are more integrated into the university community" than the average Tech freshman.
"GOAL students often begin forming supportive learning communities through study groups and other collaborative learning arrangements," Ortega says, "and this is not something they would have done on their own."
Other important academic skills learned in the "Success" course, as it is commonly known, include developing positive interactions with faculty; accessing campus resources; practical time management; and establishing clear goals, along with personal plans to realize them.
"The 'Success' course also helps to motivate students by giving them a clear understanding of what is involved in pursuing and obtaining a career in a science or engineering field," Ortega asserts. "Likewise, they begin to get a better understanding of the rewards and opportunities these science and engineering careers can bring them."
A committee has been formed at New Mexico Tech to assess what the GOAL program has done so far and to plan the direction that it should take in the future, Stone says.
"Maybe we can eventually expand GOAL into a first-year experience for all new Tech students," he adds. "That would mean we'd be reaching 250 freshmen instead of just 70."
And, if 250 New Mexico Tech freshmen return for their sophomore years, the university's enrollment can only climb and the students would be more successful in their academic achievement.
But even with an expanded GOAL program, getting everyone to stay at Tech through that crucial transition year between freshman and sophomore may not ever be entirely possible.
Popp says there are two types of students who don't return to New Mexico Tech for their sophomore year: those who are having academic difficulty and those who leave in good standing.
"We can try to help out the ones who are having academic difficulties," Popp maintains, "but until we find out why the other students are leaving, there's not much we can do about it. . . . And that's something we're trying to find out."

Kenny Chesney Working on a New Album
Kenny Chesney gave his fans some very good news on Tuesday. Even though he's taking a summer away from the road, he's staying busy working on another new album.
It's been only one year since Chesney released 'Life on a Rock,' but 18 months is an eternity for fans of the singer who released five albums in six years between 2007 and 2013. 'Life on a Rock' debuted at No. 1 but was his first album to not go Gold for 500K sold. The album also failed to produce a No. 1 hit.
Chesney has remained quiet during this time away from the road. His only scheduled appearance is on June 7 when he'll help George Strait bring his career to a close in Dallas, Texas. The 44-year-old has only offered a handful of tweets since January 1.

The second of Eidos' action/simulation game series, Battlestations: Pacific delivers intense, action-packed combat and strategic warfare at an extraordinary scale and features two distinctly different single player campaigns. The game features a massive U.S. and Japanese single player campaign that offers a unique blend of action and strategy. Players must plan their moves carefully on huge open-world arenas and fight in the air, above sea and underwater to relive some of the most hard-fought battles in WWII history. With the newly added Japanese faction, players will also gain insight into what could have been, should Japan have gained the upper hand against the United States. Battlestations: Pacific also features five new innovative multiplayer modes to strategically plan and battle against friends with all new maps and units.

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color, choosing your socks by their character makes no sense, and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable!
I think cillian murphy would be good. Ive started getting into his movies lately. and i think he can be funny and serious and he is young and if anyone has seen breakfast on pluto u know he can definatly be camp! lol.
Everybody's saying Borat, how about Bruno! He's gay and sacha baron cohen. That would be pretty funny
"You Cant Stop Me No Matter Who You Are"
For Jim or us?lol Jim has always said about Brad "If there was ever a line to be crossed that would be it"lol
But think about it for a minute Fluffs. Do you want the kissing scene to be a good experience for him or a bad one? I still think Borat or the one above will be best. Jim can't possible think either of those characters are hot.
Wentworth Miller!!! ^_^ grrrr...

My favorite character is the little girl named Ann. I like her because she gets everything that she wants off her Christmas list. I hope I do! I thought this book was great because Ann has a great time skating and shopping for other people for Christmas presents. She bought a hair band for her friend. My favorite part of the story was when Ann gave her friends their gifts. It made me feel like I was in the story because everyone was so happy and looking forward to their presents.
I would recommend this book to kids in third, fourth or fifth grades. I think they will like it and wish that they could have everything on their Christmas list too!

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Former Tennessee Tech pitcher Zac Cole has been added to the roster of the Amarillo Dillas, the defending champions of the United League of Basebal, a six-team league across the state of Texas. The opening of the 2010 ULB regular season is just a couple of weeks away.
A 6-foot-4, 197-pound right-hander, Cole is a native of Crystal
River, Fla., who pitched for coach Matt Bragga's TTU teams during
the 2006 and 2007 seasons. After two years at Palm Beach (Fla.)
Community College, Cole burst onto the scene for the Golden Eagles
by leading the team with a 3.68 ERA in 12 appearances in 2006. Over
his two years he pitched in 28 games, including 15 in relief
appearances and 13 as a starter.
Cole originally signed as an undrafted free agent with the Baltimore Orioles in 2007 where he spent one season in their chain pitching in the Gulf Coast League.
As a rookie, he appeared in nine games without posting a decision. He earned two saves and a 5.84 earned run average in 12.1 innings of relief work. He was released by Baltimore following the 2007 season and signed with Traverse City Beach Bums of the Frontier League where he relieved in six games posting an earned run average of 10.13 in 5.1 innings of work out of the bullpen.
Cole was actually slated to join the Dillas last year but his
services were not available due to sustaining a season-ending
injury to his pitching hand. Although he hasn't pitched in
well over a year in a competitive setting, Dillas manager Brady
Bogart doesn't lend much to the injury and is confident that
Cole's abilities will remain unchanged.
"Zach has fully recovered from his injuries that kept him out last season", Bogart said. "We expect him to show up for camp in-shape and ready to compete for a spot in the bullpen. Likewise, I don't put much stock into his numbers from 2008 because he is a capable reliever who can help us in the late innings".
ULB Opening Day 2010 is Thursday, May 27 when the Dillas travel to San Angelo for a two-game series against the Colts. The reigning United League Champions, the Dillas will open their home schedule Saturday, May 29, when the Colts follow them back to Amarillo to play a four-game series.
A true "Texas league," the ULB includes six tems from the Lone Star state with the Coastal Bend Thunder, Edinboro Roadrunenrs, Laredo Broncos, Rio Grande Valley Whitewings and San Angelo Colts, in addition to the Amarillo Dillas.

"Nothing was said about pricing, though the cost to the consumer will depend on whether the new government honours the Brown government's pledge of a £5000 rebate on e-cars."
I doubt it. I expect the price to be somewhere in the region of forty-seven bazillion pounds, like every other e-car that does more than about 4mph.
Gods forbid we should be actively *encouraging* people off their oil addiction: make it as expensive as humanly possible, I say.
If one was prone to conspiracy theories, or banal political statements, one might suppose it was something to do with the number of powerful people making lots and lots of money out of the oil industry.

Spring in Holland only really begins when the flowers in Keukenhof are in full bloom. The beautiful flowerbeds with tulips, hyacinths, daffodils and other bulbous plants are a spectacular sight and draw thousands of visitors every year.
Flowers and flower bulbs are 2 of Holland's most famous export products. Combine the two and you get Keukenhof: a yearly flower exhibition located in Lisse, in the middle of the Bollenstreek (Dutch for: bulb region) south of Amsterdam. Keukenhof started out as an outdoor flower exhibit in 1949, which was such a great success that it grew out into a yearly recurring event. The exhibition is the ultimate must-see spring destination and every photographer's dream.
Today the park is one of the most visited attractions in the Netherlands. Every year the park plants new flowerbeds according to a specific theme. In the past, the Brandenburg Gate, the Big Ben and the St. Basil- cathedral have all been immortalized in flowers. With the arrival of spring, approximately 7 million flowers blossom in the park. The endless variety of colours and species is truly unique; there are more than 700 species of tulips alone on display.
More than 30 different flower shows are displayed at the location. Over 600 flower growers offer their most beautiful flowers and renowned floral designers create spectacular arrangements. Each show features an impressive floral creation that highlights a specific type of flower. The show gives an overall picture of what can be done with flowers; at the end of the event, there is an award for the flower grower with the prettiest flower. The shows take place throughout the day in the various Keukenhof pavilions.
The amazing display of flowers is not confined to the Keukenhof displays. Rent a bike to explore the surrounding area. Every year in April, the Bollenstreek Flower parade (Bloemencorso) also takes place. The event counts approximately 20 floats accompanied by musical bands that follow a 40-kilometre route from Noordwijk to Haarlem. You can also visit Castle Keukenhof: this fairy-tale-like mansion is set amidst beautiful gardens and the interior is open to the public as well. At set times, the castle offers guided tours to learn more about the large collection of Japanese and Chinese porcelain and the special artwork by Nicolaes Maes.
Visitors inspired by the beautiful flowers can stop by the gift shop to purchase flower bulbs that meet the import regulations for Asia and the USA. That way you know your purchase can be safely taken home. Keukenhof is open from March through May, when the flowers are in full bloom.

SOCORRO – New Mexico-based photographer William Stone will present a lecture and slide program on Friday, April 30 at 3:30 p.m. in Workman 101 on the campus of New Mexico Tech in Socorro. Stone will present images from his new book, New Mexico: Then & Now, published by Westcliffe Publishers in fall 2003. This large-format book is based on the comparative technique of repeat photography and presents a collection of 115 historical photographs by early-day photographers matched with contemporary images by Stone. Dating from as early as 1855, the historical scenes provide a glimpse of many facets of New Mexico places, life, and history. Stone's images, shot with a large-format camera from precisely matched camera locations, are contrasted with their historical counterparts and capture the same scenes as they appear now. Stone will discuss the history of the scenes and his experiences searching for these very specific photographic subjects.
Stone is an Albuquerque-based photographer who specializes in landscapes and ancient cultures of the American Southwest. His images have appeared in publications produced by New Mexico Magazine, Arizona Highways, the Archaeological Conservancy, the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, and others. Other books featuring his work include Along New Mexico's Continental Divide Trail, New Mexico's Continental Divide Trail: The Official Guide and Albuquerque: Spirit of the New West. Fine art prints of Stone's work have been exhibited at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture (Santa Fe, NM), the Governor's Gallery (Santa Fe, NM), Kolb Studio (Grand Canyon National Park, AZ), the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science (Albuquerque, NM), and other venues. His images have also been used for posters, documentary films, and advertising.

As the elected officials hold their budget meetings, I hope the City Council and county commissioners put the focus back on all the citizens and not just a chosen few.
To the editor:
I would like to comment on the city and county budgets.
As the elected officials hold their budget meetings, I hope the City Council and county commissioners put the focus back on all the citizens and not just a chosen few.
Jacksonville has allowed so many new homes and apartment buildings to be constructed that it has lowered the value of our homes. So many homes now stand empty and foreclosed, yet they want to increase the taxes on these homes.
More and more restaurants are being built and still there are no nice places to eat where there might be a dinner show or some form of entertainment instead of just fast food.
Pay increases for county employees are being considered again. We have already given raises to some, and the sheriff�s office has received pay increases. Don�t city police deserve raises, too?
I just don�t know how our elected officials expect us to pay for this. While we are tightening our budgets at home, it appears that the city and county are continuing to increase theirs.
The N.C. 24 pedestrian bridge from nowhere to nowhere is another example of putting our tax dollars in the wrong places. The best thing we could do with that thing is tear it down and at least get something for the scrap metal.
We have put so much money into revitalizing downtown, and I do not understand why. We have no old historical buildings to show off. The only thing down there is a jail, attorneys� offices and a waterfront the majority of which is privately owned.
Burton Park tops the list of most foolish projects. It is too far out to be accessible to us. Even the senior center out there makes it very difficult to use if you are a senior living on a fixed income. Everything � taxes, gas, insurance, food, etc. � has gone up and up.
I want to see our teachers and police officers being paid a decent salary so the good ones aren�t leaving � those who protect and serve should be priorities. The county and city, however, seem much more concerned about other things, not what would be best for all.

Fort Bragg soldiers are very used to overseas deployments.
FAYETTEVILLE � Fort Bragg soldiers are very used to overseas deployments.
But several hundred soldiers will be heading to a different destination this spring.
The Fayetteville Observer reported that members of the 525th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade are heading to Kosovo.
The brigade headquarters and 1st Squadron, 38th Cavalry Regiment, will take over an assignment that has been largely held by National Guard and Army Reserve units for the past decade.
Outgoing brigade commander Col. Xavier Brunson says the Kosovo assignment will present a different set of challenges than those faced by the soldiers who have been going to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Brunson said the soldiers will work with local officials to help ensure freedom of movement between ethnic enclaves.
The United States has had forces in Kosovo since the late 1990s.

Grilled Skirt Steak With Guacamole and Rajas Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
Tasting sort of like mini-burritos with all the extraneous ingredients expelled, two of these make for a solid meal. Just remember that the skirt steak needs to be coddled, or it will pay back your carelessness by being tough and chewy. Basically, it needs to be treated like the steak it is.
Read more: Dinner Tonight: Grilled Skirt Steak with Guacamole and Rajas
- Yield:serves 4
- Active time: 20 minutes
- Total time:45 minutes
- 1 pound skirt steak, trimmed of any fat or silver-skin
- 2 tablespoons fresh juice from about 2 limes, plus 1 quartered lime for garnish
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 whole poblano peppers
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 medium clove garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
- 1/4 white onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
- 1 jalapeño, stemmed, seeded, chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 8 small radishes, ends trimmed, thinly sliced
- 8 (10-inch) flour tortillas
Cut the skirt steak into four equally sized portions. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon lime juice to a small baking dish, add the skirt steak, tossing it in the juice. Set aside for ten minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through.
Meanwhile, adjust rack to four inches below broiler element. Preheat broiler to high. Place the poblanos on a sheet pan wrapped in aluminum foil, and set under the broiler. Cook until charred on top, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip char on the other side, another three to four minutes. Transfer peppers to a medium bowl, cover tightly in plastic wrap, and let steam for ten minutes. Remove blackened skin with your fingers. Cut off the stems, remove the seeds, and then cut the flesh into 1/4-inch wide strips.
Remove the skirt steak pieces from the dish, and use a paper towel to dry the pieces. Place the pieces on the sheet pan and set underneath the broiler. Cook until browned on the top, 3 to 4 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Flip the steaks and brown on the other side, until thickest part of steak registers 125 to 130°F on an instant read thermometer and surface is well browned, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Transfer to cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, plit avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop out flesh into a medium bowl. Mash with a potato masher or large spoon. Stir in the garlic, white onion, jalapeño, and a tablespoon of lime juice. Season with salt to taste.
Warm the tortillas on a 10-inch skillet set over medium heat for a few seconds until soft and pliant. Slice steak thinly against the grain. To construct for serving, add a few pieces of sliced steak to each tortilla, and top with rajas, guacamole, and sliced radish. Serve with lime wedges.

Rihanna Was Nearly Bankrupt Thanks to Accountant
A quick glimpse at Rihanna's Instagram account shows she's a fan of partying and living lavishly. The photos on the social networking site are actually a bit of a come-up story, however. The 'Pour It Up' singer is worth $43 million, but in 2009, she was "effectively bankrupt."
According to TMZ, the Bajan superstar was worth $11 million in the beginning of 2009, and bought a house worth $7 million after being approved to do so by her accountant. With $2 million left, her expenses doubled by the end of the year, leaving her in poor financial standing. To make matters worse, Rihanna lost money on her Last Girl on Earth Tour, which she never learned from her accountant.
So one of the most popular artists in the 21st century had to sell her home for $2 million less than what she bought it for. She later sued the accountant for gross mismanagement.
Rihanna bounced back quickly through endorsements, touring and continuing to produce Billboard-charting hits. It doesn't look like she's going to be in financial strife any time soon. Her recent Diamonds World Tour grossed a total of $141.9 million, according to Pollstar.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Pau Gasol keeps finding himself on the end of the Los Angeles Lakers' bench at crunch time, a strange place for one of the world's best post players. But that's exactly where Gasol was with the game on the line Sunday at Staples Center, for the second time in just five games.
And if you thought things couldn't get any worse, now Kobe Bryant is dishing out his own brand of public advice/motivational talking points to … help inspire Gasol to keep himself on the floor?
The Lakers' dysfunction has run deep this season, but perhaps never more than it did Sunday night after a despicable 113-103 home loss to the Orlando Magic, Dwight Howard's former team, when Bryant told reporters:
"Put your big-boy pants on," Bryant said. "Just adjust. Just adjust. You can't whine about it. You can't complain about it."
You don't have to read between any lines to figure out that Kobe is calling Gasol out in the best/worst way (depending on your perspective). Demanding that Gasol man up and take responsibility for his own game and his own transition from Phil Jackson's system to Mike Brown's system and now, Mike D'Antoni's system, is exactly what you'd expect from a team leader.
This isn't the first time someone has felt the need to light a fire under Gasol. Jackson had to do the same on several occasions when he coached the Spaniard, famously poking him in the chest during Game 3 of that playoff series they lost to the Dallas Mavericks in 2011 in an effort to challenge Gasol's toughness in a critical situation.
The specifics of this latest late-game benching, provided by Dave McMenamin of ESPNLosAngeles.com, highlight a disturbing trend where Gasol is concerned:
Gasol was subbed out with 6:07 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Lakers up 84-83. Orlando outscored L.A. 30-19 the rest of the way. Gasol ended his night with 11 points of 4-for-11 shooting, seven rebounds, two assists and a block in 29 minutes.
"I don't get irritated," Gasol said of the benching. "I like to be out there. It's upsetting for me as a player but I won't allow it to irritate me."
It was the second time the benching occurred with Gasol's family in the building. The first time came against Marc Gasol and the Memphis Grizzlies and Gasol's father and younger brother, Adria, were at Staples Center for the game Sunday.
Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni downplayed the difficulty of getting Gasol back on track.
"Just talk to him," D'Antoni said. "There's no magic words out there. He's going to have to play. He still had 11 and seven and he's playing, but we just have to be a more dynamic team. We're slow right now. It's just athletically, we're struggling."
D'Antoni added that he didn't want to "lose Pau," but Bryant assured that would not be a problem.
"We're not going to lose him," Bryant said. "That's just not going to happen. I've been around him long enough. I know how to deal with him."
The Lakers need to worry about losing games right now, too. They're 8-9 after dropping this game to the Magic, a 6-10 team that had won just three times in its last 13 outings prior to Sunday.
Every time it seems the Lakers are getting on track, like they appeared to do in Friday's win over Denver, they follow it up with a nasty fall like we saw against the Magic. This uneven approach under D'Antoni is not what anyone expected and certainly not what Bryant said we should expect after the coaching change.
And yet here they are, still struggling with their own identity while serving as the punchline for jokes league-wide because they can't find a way to manufacture wins with one of the best rosters on paper.
If they keep this up through Christmas, calling for "big-boy pants" for Gasol will only be a small part of the barking Bryant is doing as the Lakers head into 2013.

Most of you probably remember Terry Jones. He is the preacher that burned the Qu'ran in Florida which angered radical Muslims who rioted and killed 21 people in retaliation.
A few weeks ago, he started trolling for more attention when he announced that he was going to protest outside of the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn Michigan. Dearborn has a large Muslim community and the mosque is the largest in the United States so it is understandable why he chose that particular venue.
Dearborn officials were worried that his actions could start a riot. Additionally, there were other logistical concerns such as the roads leading to the mosque just weren't big enough for the amount of people expected to turn out to the event. Therefore, the prosecutor in the city filed a petition to prevent him from holding his demonstration. The city then told Jones that he could only hold his protest in one of the four designated free speech zones. I want to note that these free speech zones are not new. The city has had them in place long before Terry Jones came into the national spotlight.
They also required him to pay a $40,000 bond because they anticipated that his actions may cause an outbreak of violence or rioting. Jones refused to pay the bond and refused to hold his demonstration in the designated places. The officials then told him that he would be put in jail if he demonstrated outside of the mosque.
Well, fast forward to yesterday 4/23. Terry Jones is in jail because he attempted to stage a protest outside of the mosque. Jones is claiming that his free speech rights have been violated.
"You may not agree with what we've done," Jones said, addressing the court for the first time in his baritone preacher's voice Friday morning. Quick to defend his constitutional rights, he added, "This is, to a certain extent, a First Amendment issue ... and the First Amendment does us no good if it confines us to saying what popular opinion is."
And the ACLU wrote a brief agree with him:
The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan filed a friend of the court brief. "If the First Amendment means anything, it means that the government cannot interfere in a person's free speech simply because it doesn't agree with the message or because someone else may not agree with the message," spokesperson Rana Elmir penned in the statement. "As reprehensible as his beliefs may be," Elmir added, "we believe this is an unconstitutional attempt to limit his unpopular speech."
You can read the article on Huffington Post.
The incident raises a couple of issues. First, I don't agree that Jones' right to free speech was impacted. As I understand the First Amendment you can say what you want. However, the government can limit where you say it especially if there is concern that your words could result in physical harm. The common example given is that you can't yell fire in a crowded movie theater because that could incite a panic where people get trampled to death.
The second issue that I think is even more interesting is actually something that has been brought up several times since the Qu'ran burning incident which is the reaction of the Muslim community to criticism of their religion. Why should the Dearborn government be afraid that the Muslim community is going to react violently to a protest of their religion?
I've never heard of riots in Dearborn before even after the Qu'ran burning incident. So I guess my question is are the Dearborn officials thinking of what happened overseas and thinking the same thing may happen in their city if Jones confronts them or is this an example of the Muslim community earning a reputation, perhaps undeserved, of being a religion that will cut the head off anyone who criticizes them?
Then the other thing is, is it really our responsibility to not offend them, or any other religion, out of fear of a violent reaction? Or is it their responsibility to not be offended or find a different way to express their unhappiness at the thing that offended them?

I agree. There's no point in having the right to freedom of speech if you can only do it in government designated zones. I've never agreed with the concept of "free speech zones" - the whole of the United States is a "fee speech zone", it says so in the constitution.
And on the issue of causing a riot: when was the last time a white supremacist event was halted for fear of inciting minorities to violence?
The fear of riots is no better of an excuse to stop Terry Jones than it is to stop any controversial group from protesting. If riots do happen, then the blame lies firmly with the people who start them: Terry Jones never forced or persuaded anyone to commit violence, they chose to do that themselves, so they don't have the right to blame anyone else for their own actions. If US leadership had any backbone, they'd condemn the people really responsible for the violence at the UN embassy: the fanatics who made a conscious desicion to go and kill people simply because someone else offended them. If any other group did something like that in response to a protest this debate wouldn't be happening.
Terry Jones is a despicable human being, but he has the same rights as everybody else and I think they were really being pushed, if not outright denied in this case.
"There's no point in having the right to freedom of speech if you can only do it in government designated zones."
You would be in favor of having WBC picket where they so choose at funerals of soldiers killed abroad waving signs like "thank God for dead soldiers" under police protection in the faces of grieving parents I suppose?
Or is there room for a proper exception to the absolute principled position of the whole of the United States being a free speech zone, and is the United States also a country where grieving parents do have the right to bury their killed sons and daughters in peace, with dignity and without being harassed by a horde of retarded Jesus-jokers, under the cover or the guise of the Constitution?
This self-defeating anti-government extremism that is so ubiquitous in the US remains alien to me.
" You would be in favor of having WBC picket where they so choose at funerals of soldiers killed abroad waving signs like "thank God for dead soldiers" under police protection in the faces of grieving parents I suppose?"
Absolutely. And I'm also in favor of the group that blocks them off and drowns them out with motorcycles or surrounds them with angels. The reason they're not allowed inside the cemetery is because that's a private location and they are barred.
I think the question of conflicting rights and weighing them against each other is legitimate. Where Ryan says, and I understand - well I am doing my best - where he's coming from, that he "absolutely" would support harassment of grieving parents and support counter-demonstrations as well, in the meantime of course in the real world, the rights of those parents to have a peaceful and dignified funeral for their son or daughter have been spit on and the procession turned into a freak-show. I mean try to put yourself in their shoes.
That's the best argument I've read on here yet re: free speech zones. I will have to think on that. In the meantime...
Spitting, jostling, shoving, etc. is not free speech. I do not support that. While I do support their right to say whatever, wherever, unwanted physical contact is still a crime along with other things that are not included in free speech. I think that once you cross that barrier, you are a criminal, but not before.
You are free to say (almost) what you want. But it does not immediately follow that you can say it where you want, when you want, or how (medium) you want.
What if he had insisted instead of yelling his message through a megaphone at 3 am on a school night in a residential area?
I wasn't giving a choice between two scenarios, just an example of speech which would clearly not be protected, thus no dichtonomy involved, much less a false one. You could possibly cry slippery slope fallacy, but since no clear set of rules was offered, things do tend to end up on a slippery slope until a set of rules have been established.
Anyway, the free speech zones are not designed to limit free speech per se, just to provide an arena where free speech can flourish without interrupting society more than needed. As Misty eloquently pointed out, there is an issue of public safety involved, and though this is not a good argument for denying anyone their free speech of saying what they want, it is a good argument to regulate the where and a decent one to regulate the when. The how is generally self-regulated by the social understanding of timing and means accessible.
I think Terry Jones is an attention whore and he's entirely happy with Dearborn officials decisions. Otherwise he would have to put in more effort to get the same result.
They make a mockery of free speech and morphed it into the absolute right of harassment. Now that's how you build up a healthy society, by feeding the flames of hate.

American Diabetes Association Applauds the One-Year Extension of the Special Diabetes Program
Alexandria, Virginia
March 31, 2014
The American Diabetes Association (Association) applauds the one-year extension of the Special Diabetes Program (SDP), approved by Congress today. The federal funding for this essential program was set to expire on September 30, 2014, but the inclusion of SDP as part of the fix to the Sustainable Growth Rate has ensured the Special Diabetes Program for Indians (SDPI) and the Special Diabetes Programs for Type 1 Diabetes (SDP-Type1) will continue through September 2015 with an additional $300 million in funding.
SDPI provides prevention, education and treatment programs for the American Indian and Alaskan Native community. At nearly 16.1 percent, American Indians and Alaska Natives have the highest age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes among all U.S. racial and ethnic groups. The vital programming the SDPI provides, contributes to the overall reduction of the deadly diabetes complications that disproportionately affect this population.
"The action taken by Congress to extend the Special Diabetes Program is a critical victory in our ongoing fight to Stop Diabetes®," said Shondra McCage, BS, MPH, CHES, Chair, Awakening the Spirit program, American Diabetes Association. "Since 1997, the Special Diabetes Program for Indians has made a significant impact of the American Indian and Alaska Native communities, by providing funding for programs that offer prevention and treatment options that meet the specific needs of this population."
The Special Diabetes Programs for Type 1 Diabetes addresses the need for increased type 1 diabetes research. SDP-Type1 basic and clinical research has demonstrated progress in delaying the full onset of type 1 diabetes in some participants. The continued support for this program by Congress will lead to a better understanding of the genetic and environmental causes of the disease that will help prevent, treat and reverse some of the long-term complications associated with type 1 diabetes.
"The American Diabetes Association applauds Congress for their support of the Special Diabetes Program," said Gina Gavlak, RN, BSN, Chair, National Advocacy Committee, American Diabetes Association. "Both SDP-Type 1 and SDPI provide crucial funding for research trials that brings us closer to a cure for this deadly epidemic, and supports essential studies that positively impact the lives of people living with diabetes.
Each year, both type 1 and type 2 diabetes take a devastating toll on the physical, emotional and fiscal health of our nation. Nearly 26 million adults and children are living with diabetes in the U.S. and another 79 million have prediabetes, placing them at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. By extending the Special Diabetes Program, Congress has afforded access to essential research, treatment and prevention programs that improve the lives of the millions of people living with diabetes, and those at risk.
About the American Diabetes Association
Nearly half of American adults have diabetes or prediabetes; more than 30 million adults and children have diabetes; and every 21 seconds, another individual is diagnosed with diabetes in the U.S. Founded in 1940, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) is the nation's leading voluntary health organization whose mission is to prevent and cure diabetes, and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. The ADA drives discovery by funding research to treat, manage and prevent all types of diabetes, as well as to search for cures; raises voice to the urgency of the diabetes epidemic; and works to safeguard policies and programs that protect people with diabetes. In addition, the ADA supports people living with diabetes, those at risk of developing diabetes, and the health care professionals who serve them through information and programs that can improve health outcomes and quality of life. For more information, please call the ADA at 1-800-DIABETES (1-800-342-2383) or visit diabetes.org. Information from both of these sources is available in English and Spanish.

The faint hum of grain being dried of a quiet evening. A marching band's rhythmic cadence as they practice on a cool morning The sudden roar of the crowd at a "Friday Night Lights" showdown. The pulsating buzz of the cicada. These are just a few sounds you may be hearing that signal the change in seasons. As summer turns to fall, another sound we all will be hearing more of is the droning of diesel engines as our school bus fleets gear up for another year of school.
With that droning comes new changes in the school bus stop arm regulations for 2012. These new regulations were enacted in response to an incident near Northwood, IA on May 10, 2011. On that morning, Kadyn Halverson (7 years old) was struck and killed by a passing motorist as she was getting on a school bus in front of her house. The school bus had activated its flashing warning lamps and had extended its stop sign as required by law.
"Kadyn's Law" was passed into law as a response to this tragedy. The law does not change the requirements for motorists as they approach a school bus that has stopped, but significantly increases the fines if motorists fail to comply. A "Kadyn's Law" violation is now a mandatory court appearance. The new fine has increased from $330 to a maximum of $675, along with up to 30 days in jail, or both at the discretion of the court. Second and subsequent offenses increase the fine up to $1,875 and/or 6 months in jail. The Department of Transportation now lists this violation as a serious violation, meaning that a single violation can result in a suspension of your license, regardless of your driving history. Finally, if there is injury or death associated with the violation, fines of up to$1,000 can be added with a license suspension of up to 6 months.
All of these fines and penalties are enough to make anyone's head spin. When government makes changes to this degree, there is always criticism. Some ask, "Why do we need to go to this extent? As tragic as this event was, wasn't it an isolated incident?" This is a valid question that needs to be addressed. A recent survey by the Department of Education may shed some light on this issue.
The department commissioned a voluntary, 1-day survey of bus driver's across the state. Participating schools/busses would report the number of stop arm violations that occurred on their morning and afternoon routes. The results were eye-opening, so say the least.
Of an estimated 5,000 school busses on Iowa's roads each day, 2,295 actually participated in this one-day survey. This represents approximately 46 percent of Iowa's school bus fleet. For the reporting period, there were 327 incidents, with a total of 393 vehicles illegally passing a stopped school bus. The difference in incidents to vehicles means that there were several incidents that included more than one vehicle that passed illegally at a time. Even more eye opening was the fact that 3 percent of these violations occurred on the right side of the bus (the right shoulder, where the bus door is located). Once again, that was 327 incidents in one day, with not even half of the schools reporting.
It should be noted that this was a non-scientific survey that was conducted in a portion of Iowa's schools. Regardless of this fact, there are several conclusions that can be reasonably drawn. First, school bus stop arm violations are more common than anyone realizes. Second, it is a combination of divine intervention and competent bus drivers that have prevented these incidents from becoming another tragedy.
So what is the bottom line? As a motorist approaching a school bus, expect it to be making a stop and know how to react when it does. Obey posted speed limits and watch for children near school zones. Avoid all forms of distractions while driving.
Finally, remember that another sound of the changing seasons should be laughter laughter as our children enjoy a safe ride home from a day at school.

Loving the BITE: Fresh Salsa
In a follow-up to yesterday's Beanitos Review, we've got a Loving the BITE dip to go right along with those tasty chip. And not just any dip, but one that will help us cycle stronger and stay healthy. This week, tomato growers will rejoice with a salsa recipe that can be canned and enjoyed throughout the year.
Cyclists can rejoice as well. Our recipe is packed with ingredients that promote health – including heart health, digestion health, a reduction in cancer risk, high amounts of antioxidants, reduction in colds and sinus infections, and an increase in metabolism.
Loving the BITE: Fresh Salsa
(adapted from http://www.food.com/recipe/wonderful-salsa-9272)
- 8 cups organic tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 2 1/2 cups onions, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups green peppers, chopped
- ½ – 1 cup jalapeno pepper, chopped (depending on heat desired)
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tbsp cumin
- 2 teaspoons pepper
- 1/8 cup canning salt
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 1/3 cup organic apple cider vinegar
- 1 (15 ounce) can organic tomato sauce
- 1 (12 ounce) can organic tomato paste
- ¼ cup cilantro
Mix all ingredients together except tomato paste and cilantro. Bring to a slow boil for ~8 minutes or until desired consistency. Add tomato paste and cilantro and continue to boil for ~2 additional minutes.
Seal in jars and process in hot water bath for 10 minute.
This recipe yields a medium salsa – change the heat by adding or reducing the amount of jalapeno or removing jalapeno seeds. It is also a chunky salsa – for a smoother version chop vegetables into smaller pieces or process in a food processor before cooking.
Yields 3-6 quarts or pints.
As you can see, our fresh salsa features many healthy ingredients. In fact, we've discussed the benefits of a few of them in-depth. As any faithful Loving the Bike (Bite) reader knows:
Tomatoes = lycopene, an antioxidant powerhouse. (Full story in found right here)
Chili and jalapeno peppers = capsaicins, hot components that provide anti-bacterial, anti-carcinogenic, analgesic, anti-diabetic, and increased metabolism benefits. (Full story here)
Organic Apple Cider Vinegar = reduction in waist circumference, sinus infections, cholesterol, and diabetes risk. (More information right here)
Cumin = antioxidants, digestion and enzyme aides, and a reduced cancer risk. (More about Cumin here)
But, we're not gonna stop there. Today, we add cilantro.
Simply put, cilantro leaves or coriander seeds (they are from the same plant) provide disease-fighting phytochemicals, antibacterial compounds strong enough to fight salmonella, cholesterol-lowering agents, blood sugar stabilizers, and free radical fighters to keep our cells young and healthy. Not bad for a simply herb, huh?
Don't be a dip. Instead, eat a healthy one that promotes health and energy rather than one that drags you and your ride down. This week, try our salsa recipe for a sure-fire health, metabolism, and wellness boost!
Fuel Your Ride. Nourish Your Body.

A small Wisconsin town – the size of Rhinelander – has been wiped off the map. It's as if 8,000 people have completely disappeared.
This is no horror film … but rather FACT's new media campaign based on the 8,000 people killed every year from tobacco-related illnesses in Wisconsin. FACT (Fighting Against Corporate Tobacco), Wisconsin's first statewide tobacco prevention movement for youth ages 13-18, kicked off its new media and activism campaign titled, "They Killed 8,000." The television spots, created by and starring the youth advocates, is airing statewide through May 18.
This was a year-long process, and the youth were involved from start to finish, says Laura Mays, Oneida County Tobacco-Free coordinator. The process began in spring and summer of 2007, as FACT members joined together for Creative Expression Challenges in Minocqua, Hudson, Appleton, Madison and Milwaukee. Six local youth participated in the Minocqua challenge. Then, in August, FACT representatives from all regions of the state met in Madison for the "Final Challenge" to select and polish their one big campaign idea. Oneida County sent two youth to help.
"I hope that after people see the commercial, they'll be inspired to contact us or start their own local FACT group," observes Danielle Larson, Rhinelander High School FACT member.
Another element of the "They Killed 8,000" campaign includes a banner ad on MySpace profile pages of Wisconsin teens age 17 and under that links to the redesigned FACT web site http://www.fightwithfact.com.
This campaign does not rest on media alone. To provide additional support, 36 FACT groups across Wisconsin will be utilizing their Underground FACTivism Kits to take their message to Wisconsin teens by carrying out street marketing tactics in their communities.
For more information on the 8,000 statistic behind the FACT media campaign, check out the Burden of Tobacco 2006 report at http://www.medsch.wisc.edu/mep/download ... al_reports.
FACT is part of the Wisconsin Tobacco Control and Prevention program, a statewide program that includes tobacco treatment resources, state and local initiatives, youth tobacco prevention programs and media. The FACT movement is managed by the American Lung Association of Wisconsin. To view the new TV commercials, visit http://www.fightwithfact.com/spots.php (click on the 60 SEC box.)

Re: FACT: They killed 8,000
I am suprised that this post has not generated some sort of response from the bar /restaurant owners protesting that they can't afford to alienate the smokers.
Appleton enforced a smoking ban for bars & restaurants. While I can't speak for the bars, there have been several ads for local restaurants that claim their business has increased after they went smoke-free.

What if there were no hypothetical questions?
Re: FACT: They killed 8,000
In the U.S. over 500,000 die of smoking related diseases each year, 46,000 from vehicle crashes, 28,000 from gunshot, and an average of one per year from Cougar attack. Who gets the bad rap? The Cougar.
If all the atheists left the United States it would lose 93% of the National Academy of Sciences but less than 1% of the prison population.

Men's Health
This portion of our health library caters solely to men. Here you will find articles that discuss topics of interest to men seeking to lose weight.
A two-year study examined obese men with ED who were otherwise healthy. Half were supervised in individualized weight-loss treatment, and were educated about diet, fitness, and sexual function.
The other half - -the control group -- were given general information about exercise and healthy dietary choices.
All of the men in the supervised group experienced some health or sexual function improvements after a weight loss of just 10 percent, and erectile dysfunction was completely alleviated for one out of three. But there was no change in weight or sexual function for the control group, indicating that professional support seems to make all the difference.
We already know that overweight men who initiate weight loss in mid-life have 70 percent less risk of erectile dysfunction than those who remain sedentary.
The point: If you're overweight and have problems with ED, tell your doctor. The problem is not likely to subside on its own, and your doctor can provide you the tools you need to overcome ED. The added weight loss won't hurt either.
Simply answer a few questions so we can figure out your weight loss goals and provide solutions for a lighter, healthier you. Our weight loss meal plans are designed to help real people achieve real and lasting success.
