Our research shows that digital is playing an increasingly important role in the majority of customer interactions, and agents' efforts are being refocused to add more value. Only one out of five carriers reject this model. The most disruptive distribution innovation is the Internet of Things (IoT) which, among other things, is driving insurance beyond indemnification to real-time protection.
Watch this video as John Cusano, Senior Managing Director, Accenture's Global Insurance Industry provides an overview of the Accenture Distribution and Agency Management Survey findings.
Insurers need to confront this rapidly evolving marketplace. Their decisions about how to engage customers in the digital age will impact the kind of businesses they will be and the kind of customer experiences they will provide.
These critical decisions relate to 6 key issues:
Insurers' customer and business activities with aggregators, currently and expected in three years' time
High priority initiatives to improve the insurance operating model

Hi all,
just uploaded tlf-0.8.18, which fixes some bugs found during the PACC contest. (I made 1250 q's, which is 20% more than last year :)
I have tested the wpx on this version, and could not find a fault.
I fixed the CT compatible mode, which was broken after the B4 patch (enter key can now be switched from TRlog into CT mode :).
I would appreciate if some could do some testing before the wpx, so I have a last chance for fiing things up.
Tnx and 73's,

Consolidated Lamp and Glass Company of Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, was founded in 1894. The company made lamps, tablewares, and art glass. Collectors are particularly interested in the glass made after 1925, including black satin glass, Cosmos (listed in its own category), Martele (which resembled Lalique), Ruba Rombic (1928-1932 Art Deco line), and colored glasswares. Some Consolidated pieces are very similar to those made by the Phoenix Glass Company. The colors are sometimes different. Consolidated made Martele glass in blue, crystal, green, pink, white, or custard glass with added fired-on color or a satin finish. Consolidated Lamp and Glass Company closed during the Great Depression and sent its Martele molds to the Phoenix Glass Company, who eventually produced and sold it under a different name from 1933 to 1936. The company closed for the final time in 1967.

Parker Frazier traded to Reds for Armando Galarraga
NEW YORK — Looking to create more depth in Triple-A, the Rockies acquired right-hander Armando Galarraga from the Reds in exchange for pitcher Parker Frazier.
Since being robbed of a perfect game in June 2010 on a botched call by first base umpire Jim Joyce, Galarraga's career has nosedived. The former Detroit Tiger has spent the last two years with the Diamondbacks and Astros, winning just four games.
The 31-year-old has pitched in Triple-A this season with the Reds, rebounding with a 2.98 ERA. He will be assigned to the Sky Sox, joining a veteran rotation that includes Jeff Francis and Aaron Cook. Without a trade for a high-profile arm, it's very possible a minor leaguer will soon get a look in the rotation. Galarraga has a 4.78 career major league ERA.

Franklin Templeton's Emerging Markets Equity team walks through events moving emerging markets in April and discusses the three things the team is thinking about today. The team believes the current market environment provides an attractive entry point for investors, particularly in the small-cap stock space.
Renewable energy production in Latin America has grown dramatically over the last decade. The use of green technology like wind turbines and solar arrays continues to expand, as countries like Brazil seek to improve energy security and lower carbon emissions. Given this energy revolution, the opportunity for investment in renewable energy infrastructure in Latin America is robust, according to Paulo de Meira Lins and Valentina Cumo of Darby Brazil.
"The EM small-cap space remains attractive to us, partly because many of the headwinds in 2018 have already been priced into valuations or are likely to abate this year." - Franklin Templeton Emerging Markets Equity team
Emerging markets offer a broad opportunity set for investors. However, many investors focus on the high-profile stories in Asia and Latin America, overlooking potential opportunities in other regions, as Franklin Templeton Emerging Markets Equity's David Haglund explains. He notes how Africa is often an overlooked part of the emerging-market story, and why recent investments from China reflect the growth potential for countries such as Kenya and Nigeria in particular.
After a challenging 2018, investors embraced emerging markets again in the first quarter of 2019 amid supportive fundamentals, including a more dovish US Federal Reserve. Franklin Templeton's Emerging Markets Equity team outlines what drove market moves during the quarter and month of March, and why Asia remains an area of interest in particular.
In the face of slowing growth, the Chinese authorities appear ready to act. Franklin Templeton Emerging Markets Equity's Sukumar Rajah and Jason Zhu explain how measures announced at the 13th National People's Congress are designed to shore up China's growth prospects.
As India gears up for a general election in the spring, an increase in populist rhetoric among the country's political parties may spook some investors. Franklin Templeton Emerging Markets Equity's Sukumar Rajah is more relaxed. He believes this jockeying for position is part and parcel of Indian politics and feels that the country's solid fundamentals continue to present a positive story for investors.
Emerging market equities saw mixed performances in February, with stocks in Asia faring better than stocks in Latin America and emerging Europe, which underperformed. Franklin Templeton's Emerging Markets Equity team outlines what drove market moves during the month and where they see opportunities today. They see reasons to be optimistic about Brazil in particular.
Climate change—like any type of disruption—has disparate impacts on people, places and things. It can also have disparate impacts on corporations and investments. Krzysztof Musialik, senior vice president, Franklin Templeton Emerging Markets Equity, explores how climate change has impacted the global economy, and has created new potential investment opportunities in the realm of the emerging market landscape.
Emerging market equities were off to a strong start overall in 2019, rebounding from a 2018 downturn. Manraj Sekhon, CIO of Franklin Templeton Emerging Markets Equity, and Chetan Sehgal, senior managing director and director of portfolio management, outline what drove market moves in January and why they and the team think confidence in emerging markets should continue to improve.
Salah Shamma, Franklin Templeton Emerging Markets Equity's Head of Investment, MENA, sees an upcoming wave of liquidity that could create a splash for stocks in the MENA region in 2019. He explains what's behind this potential liquidity wave—and why Saudi Arabia in particular is capturing investors' attention.
"Emerging market corporate debt is a large and well-diversified asset class of higher quality than many people realize. Valuations have improved and we think there are attractive yields on offer in what we consider a misunderstood part of the fixed income world." - Robert Nelson, Portfolio Manager, Franklin Templeton Fixed Income Group

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Generally, those offering potential for higher returns are accompanied by a higher degree of risk. Stock prices fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and dramatically, due to factors affecting individual companies, particular industries or sectors, or general market conditions. Bond prices are affected by interest rate changes. Bond prices, and thus a bond fund's share price, generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. As the price of bonds in a fund adjusts to a rise in interest rates, the fund's share price may decline. High-yield, lower-rated ("junk") bonds generally have greater price swings and higher default risks. These securities carry a greater degree of credit risk relative to investment-grade securities. Special risks are associated with foreign investing, including currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments. Investments in developing markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors, in addition to those associated with these markets' smaller size, lesser liquidity and lack of established legal, political, business and social frameworks to support securities markets. Smaller, mid-sized and relatively new or unseasoned companies can be particularly sensitive to changing economic conditions, and their prospects for growth are less certain than those of larger, more established companies. Historically, these securities have experienced more price volatility than larger company stocks, especially over the short-term. Derivatives involve costs and can create economic leverage in a portfolio which may result in significant volatility and cause such fund to participate in losses on an amount that exceeds its initial investment; such fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits, and may realize losses when a counterparty fails to perform as promised. These and other risks pertaining to specific funds, such as those involving investments in specialized industry sectors or use of complex securities, are discussed in each fund's prospectus.

SANFORD — Do the citizens of Maine's newest city want to promote their community as a place to explore, create and grow or a place that's great for business and great for life?
Those are the messages included in two different logos created by a marketing and public relations agency hired by the town to help Sanford market itself.
The agency, Nancy Marshall Communications, was contracted in July to work with the town to develop its own "brand." During that time they met with residents, business owners, and town officials and held focus groups to gather information about Sanford and what it is that people like about it.
"It has been such a wonderful experience to get to know the town — soon to be city — of Sanford," Nancy Marshall said at the Nov. 27 town council meeting. Marshall was accompanied by Ren�e Black, a graphic designer and the account executive for the Sanford "branding" project.
Marshall said her work started with a tour of the town and included a three-hour discovery session with 15 to 20 residents. From that information, the agency created a "Sanford Message Map" which Marshall described as like a song sheet.
At the center of the message map is the key message, or "sound bite," that summarizes Sanford and how its citizens see it. It states: "Sanford is planning for a prosperous future by leveraging its many resources including its rich history; tight-knit, multigenerational community; valuable natural resources; multitude of recreational opportunities; diverse transportation network; strong school system; available land and bountiful farms."
Surrounding the key message are eight "talking points" about the town — positive messages about the town's attributes.
Marshall unveiled two different logos created by her agency for the town.
"These logos were grounded in what people told us," she said.
Marshall and Black explained that a "brand" is not just a logo, "it's what you want to tell others about your town." Its purpose is to differentiate the town from other towns, they said.
The two logos, one with a "Sanford swoosh" that could be used in different colors for different purposes, and the other a more crisp, conventional block style.
Residents will have an opportunity to vote on the two options for Sanford's logo. Voting will by the Sanford Regional Economic Growth Council, which is expected to announce details for the vote by the end of the week.
Branding the City of Sanford Voters to decide which logo best promotes the community

Brief update – continuations and habits exposed.
So, my daughter decided to get on the PVP server with me. And lo and behold I shall still write of priestly things, for she is a Troll priest.
I dumped Zingiber, and restarted a druid. Level 8 – big deal, just mail what little I had to Primulaveris, and start anew, and get the stuff mailed from there. I will NOT do without bags when I have the chance. In fact, that's probably my biggest frustration with new characters – bag space. money – eh, no big deal. Kill things, and use a gathering profession. Primulaveris, level 13, has almost 2 gold.
The new character is Pelatior. And I'm tired enough I have to explain.
See, all my characters are named for latin herbs. But for these two, well, my bad habits slipped out. Primula Veris and P(rimula) Elatior. Google them. You can hunt me down later – I'm on a PVP server.

(Reuters) - Romania's new alliance of center-right political parties is promising to cut the single corporate and personal income tax rate if it wins next month's election, saying it wants to attract more foreign investment to the European Union's second-poorest country.
The Alliance for the Romanian Right (ARD) has poll ratings of about 20 percent but could become part of a coalition if the ruling Social Liberal Union (USL) fails to achieve an outright majority on December 9.
The ARD is dominated by the Democrat-Liberal Party (PDL), which was in government until April but remains unpopular for enforcing austerity measures taken to comply with its 5 billion-euro IMF-led aid deal, including pay cuts and a hike in sales taxes.
The ARD pledged to cut the single rate tax to 12 percent, from the current 16 percent, and also lower employers' social contributions and raise the minimum wage.
"This means that more money will come to Romania, more foreign investment and Romanian companies will have more money for growth," the party said in a statement on Tuesday.
The governing USL has poll ratings of just over 50 percent but if it falls short of a majority President Traian Basescu could nominate a political ally from the ARD as prime minister to form a coalition.
The USL tried and failed to remove Basescu from office in the summer in a dispute which drew sharp criticism from the European Union and United States, which said the government was undermining the rule of law.
The ARD also said it would raise the minimum wage from 700 lei ($200) a month to 850 in 2013 and 1,000 in 2015 and cut companies' social security contributions by 5 percent, from the current level of about 30 percent, from 2015.

Best Vehicle I have Ever Owned!
By Southern Nebraskan on Sunday, September 18, 2016The best vehicle I have ever owned. Especially for someone looking for something larger than the terrain but doesn't have the space, money, or need for a Yukon. Handles Nebraskan winters like a champ. I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs an SUV but doesn't like driving an entire continent arround.

Only a Little Letdown
By RPayseur on Monday, February 06, 2012Don't get me wrong - I love this car. But for what I paid for the base model, I really wish it had more features. You can't get a sunroof unless you pay for the top-tier model. There's hands-free calling, as long as you pay for a number and minutes through On-Star. And I have to plug my iPod into a jack with a cord to listen to MP3's. But I'm a gadget guru... The reason I gave quality and Design 4's is that the seat cushions seem a little cheap to me. There are a couple places on the driver's and passenger's seats that are a little buckled up. I'm not sure if the foam inside is curled up or the fabric is just buckling but this is a brand new car. I really enjoy driving it. The turning radius is great for getting into tight spaces, despite the size of the car. There's plenty of room for all 3 of my teenage kids and some of their friends or cargo. They wish it had a separate radio and headphones for them though. I was, however, a little surprised that it has a 22 gallon gas tank. That's quite a shocker the first time you fill up. The gas mileage is just ok. I have an 18 mile commute to work on mostly highway and I average 19 mpg. And if you like the music loud, you may want to upgrade the stereo system. The loudest setting is still pleasant to me but certainly not loud enough to really have a good time on the road. All in all, I love the car, I just wish it gave me a little better value.

The horrific shooting in Newtown, Conn., in which Adam Lanza killed his mother then 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School before taking his own life, ranks among the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history, second only to the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre that took 32 lives. It comes on the heels of other tragic massacres in recent years:
April 2:
Former student One Goh, 43, allegedly went to small Christian school Oikos University in Oakland, Calif., took a receptionist hostage, and shot people in classrooms, apparently at random, according to students. He allegedly killed seven people, then went to a nearby grocery store, where he was apprehended by police.
April 16, 2007:
Virginia Tech student Seung-Hui Cho, a mentally troubled English major, shot dead 32 people and wounded another 17 on his school's campus, in the deadliest shooting by a single gunman in U.S. history. He afterward killed himself.
Oct. 2, 2006:
Charles Roberts entered an Amish school in Pennsylvania armed with a handgun, sent away male students, barricaded himself and the girls in the school, chained the girls together at the blackboard and shot them, killing five and wounding five others. Roberts, who was not himself Amish, had left suicide notes for his family.
March 21, 2005:
Jeffrey Weise, 16, killed his grandfather, a police sergeant, and his grandfather's girlfriend on an Indian reservation in Red Lake, Minn., before killing another seven people at his high school and himself.
April 20, 1999:
Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, seniors at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., committed a massacre at their school that they planned for a year. After trying to detonate propane bombs in the school cafeteria, the armed pair opened fire on classmates and faculty throughout the school building, killing 12 students and a teacher, before killing themselves.
March 24, 1998:
Mitchell Johnson, 13, and Andrew Golden, 11, armed with guns stolen from Golden's grandfather, drove Johnson's mother's minivan to Westside Middle School in Jonesboro, Ark. They pulled the fire alarm to lure students and teachers out of the school, and in an ambush from the woods, they killed four students and a teacher and wounded another nine students and a teacher.

Fungi virus and Bacteria
Because bacteria and viruses cause many of the diseases we're familiar with, people often confuse these two microbes. But viruses are as different from bacteria as goldfish are from giraffes.
For one thing, they differ greatly in size. The biggest viruses are only as large as the tiniest bacteria.
Another difference is their structure. Bacteria are complex compared to viruses.A typical bacterium has a rigid cell wall and a thin, rubbery cell membrane surrounding the fluid, or cytoplasm (sigh-toe-plasm), inside the cell. A bacterium contains all of the genetic information needed to make copies of itself—its DNA—in a structure called a chromosome (crow-moe-soam). In addition, it may have extra loose bits of DNA called plasmids floating in the cytoplasm. Bacteria also have ribosomes (rye-bo-soams), tools necessary for copying DNA so bacteria can reproduce. Some have threadlike structures called flagella that they use to move.
A virus may or may not have an outermost spiky layer called the envelope. All viruses have a protein coat and a core of genetic material, either DNA or RNA. And that's it. Period.Which brings us to the main difference between viruses and bacteria—the way they reproduce. Bacteria contain the genetic blueprint (DNA) and all the tools (ribosomes, proteins, etc.) they need to reproduce themselves.
Viruses are moochers. They contain only a limited genetic blueprint and they don't have the necessary building tools. They have to invade other cells and hijack their cellular machinery to reproduce. Viruses invade by attaching to a cell and injecting their genes or by being swallowed up by the cell.
Pictured above are T4 bacteriophages (back-tear-e-oh-faj-es). They are a kind of virus that infects bacteria. Here they are landing on the surface of an E. coli bacterium.
The bacteriophage cuts a hole in the E. coli's cell wall. It then injects its genetic material into the bacterium. By taking over the E. coli's genetic machinery, the viral genes tell the bacterium to begin making new virus parts. These parts come together to make whole new viruses inside the bacterium.
Eventually so many new viruses are made that the E. coli bursts open and dies, releasing all those new viruses to infect more cells!

PHILADELPHIA -- Simon Gagne wanted to talk about it. He was just waiting for someone to ask him.
The opportunity arose a day late, and if the NHL catches wind of his comments, he might end up being a dollar short. Or a few thousand dollars short.
He doesn't care, because he's angry. He's angry that Montreal's Alex Kovalev got away with a cheap shot to his jaw in the first period of Saturday's game, a hit that left Gagne with cuts above and blow his lip.
He took it out on the Atlanta Thrashers Sunday, scoring a goal in the opening minute and adding a pair of assists in a 4-3 Flyers win at Wachovia Center.
Gagne is starting to take it out on the league now that he has 22 points in the Flyers' first 17 games, which is good enough to tie Sidney Crosby for fourth best in the NHL.
But he just wants to take it out on Kovalev, who he feels was headhunting with a hit late in the first period Saturday.
"When you go to make a hit like that usually you are going to take away the puck, but when you look at it, the puck is not even there," Gagne said. "So, was he coming to take away the puck? I don't think so. He was coming to hurt me. I have marks on my face so you can tell it was a hit to my head."
The league reviewed the hit and chose not to fine or suspend Kovalev. Which aggravated Gagne even more.
"I don't know if it's because we're the Flyers or what," Gagne said. "If it was us who did the hit like that it would have been at least two minutes. We would have been suspended 10 games. We're talking about getting rid of the blows to the head in this league. We have to do something about it.
"(Paul Holmgren) said we have to start talking about it. It's not going to come from the league. It's not going to come from the officials. It has to come from the players. So we have to start to do something. After what happened last night - I'm ready to be that guy."
Gagne said he spoke to referee Marc Joanette on the ice twice about dirty hits by the Canadiens. The first was a brutal check from behind on rookie Jared Ross by Montreal's Thomas Plekanec.
"I talked to him after the hit on Ross and asked why it was only two minutes," Gagne said. "He said he didn't get hurt; that's why it was two minutes. Then, after my hit, I showed him the cuts on my face and asked him, 'Did you see what Kovalev did to me?' He said, 'Yes. It was a shoulder to the face. It's legal. It's not an elbow. It's a shoulder.'"
Gagne is especially testy about these hits that are permeating throughout the NHL because he missed 57 games last season and all of the playoffs with concussion-related problems that were caused by a blow to the head.
As much as he wanted to chat about this after the game, during the contest Gagne let his play do all the talking.
His goal came when he intercepted a Jason Williams pass at the Flyers' blue line and sprinted the length of the ice before beating Thrashers goalie Johan Hedberg with a nifty forehand-to-backhand move for his 11th goal of the season.
In the final minute of the period, Gagne slid a cross-ice pass to Mike Knuble, who one-timed a shot past Hedberg for his seventh goal of the season.
The Flyers (7-6-4, 18 points) completely dominated play in the first period, outshooting Atlanta 18-4 and seemed to have things well in hand after the second period as well.
Despite an Erik Christensen goal on a nice one-timer to close within 2-1, the Flyers rebuilt their two-goal lead when Kimmo Timonen scored on the power play with a drive from the top of the left circle that blew past Hedberg on the short side.
"I got a lot of time at the point," said Timonen. "In our meetings we have been saying that we have to shoot the puck more and get to the front of the net. That's what we are trying to do. I had a lot of time there to shoot the puck."
All seemed to be well in hand, then the third period came, and playing four games in six nights finally caught up to the Flyers.
They didn't really need Antero Niittymaki the last time they played Atlanta, blowing out the Thrashers 7-0. They did Sunday.
Atlanta tied the score at 3-3, but Niittymaki made an incredible 19 saves in the third period and 29 overall.
It was Niittymaki's 11th win in 11 tries against Atlanta, the second best streak against one team by any active goalie.
Only Detroit's Chris Osgood has a longer run of success against one opponent among active goalies, moving to 17-0 against Tampa Bay last Thursday. Ken Dryden holds the NHL record, going 19-0 in his first 19 games against Washington.

Neal Boulton's Movie About Himself: Well, It's Dramatic
[There was a video here]
Not too long ago, Neal Boulton was knows as the relentlessly self-promoting pansexual former editor of magazines like Men's Fitness and Genre. He was a big Gawker character for a while, but eventually he went to rehab for heroin addiction, and we agreed to stop mocking him.
Well, since then he's apparently started a website called HeroinLife—which is primarily about Neal Boulton, with heroin as a backup character—and now, we hear, he's working on a movie about his own life. Here's a seven-minute clip, which he's been showing to friends. (We're not sure whether this is the entire thing, or just a taste. But we've emailed him to ask.)
It sure is something.

The 2008 U.S. men's gold medalist Phil Dalhausser and his new beach volleyball partner, Nick Lucena, beat Tunisia on Sunday in their first match in Rio.
The pair beat Tunisia's Mohamed Arafet Naceur and Choaib Belhaj Salah 21-7, 21-13.
Overall, the crowd was a rowdy one at Copacabana for beach volleyball.
At times when Americans Lauren Fendrick or Brook Sweat went to serve Sunday against their Polish opponents the crowd shouted "Zika!" at them.
Fendrick and Sweat, both Olympic rookies, won their first set 21-14. But Poland's Kinga Kolosinska and Monika Brzostek rallied back to take the second, 21-13. They dominated the third set 15-7 for the win.
Throughout the match, the crowd heavily favored the Polish team, even though those cheering the loudest waved Brazilian flags.
The taunting follows similar jeering at U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo, who riled some Brazilians before the Rio Games started with when she posted a photo of herself on social media decked out in mosquito netting and armed with insecticide.
But Fendrick and Sweat are not as high-profile as solo. Fendrick said the Zika chants didn't faze them.
The pair will return to competition against Brazil on Tuesday.

Definition of PEDOPHILIA
:sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object; specifically :a psychiatric disorder in which an adult has sexual fantasies about or engages in sexual acts with a prepubescent child
The American Psychiatric Association defines a paraphillic disorder as a condition in which people
feel personal distress about their interest, not merely distress resulting from societys disapproval;
have a sexual desire or behavior that involves another persons psychological distress, injury, or
death, or a desire for sexual behaviors involving unwilling persons or persons unable to give legal
The above means that a big group of people, pedophiles, are being categorized as having a mental disorder based on legal guidelines regarding the legal age of consent. If homosexual orientation is not a choice (but rather a normal aspect of human sexuality), and pedophilia is not a choice, shouldn't they be treated the same by the APA? Going further, why shouldn't necrophilia and zoophilia be recognized as simple variants of sexuality rather than as mental disorders? Legal restrictions shouldn't influence whether a certain sexual orientation is considered normal or a mental disorder.
What am I missing?

Twain Harte, California: Pizza Under the Pines at The Prospector
The Prospector
23092 Fuller Road, Twain Harte CA 95383 (map); 209-586-1313; prospectorwines.com
Pizza style: Neapolitan
Oven type: Wood-fired
The skinny: Amid beautiful surroundings, The Prospector offers great wood-oven, Neapolitan-style pizza that's certified by the VPN
My quest for eye-opening, palate-pleasing pizza recently compelled me to pack up the car and head north. Up California's spinal Interstate 5, past dusty farm towns, many reeking with a bovine stench, up through the sloping, oak-dotted foothills, and on to the spectacle called Yosemite.
Exiting the Wawona Tunnel, I was spellbound by the iconic landscape of Yosemite Valley, monoliths El Capitan and Half Dome standing guard, while Bridalveil and Vernal Falls generously cleanse all visitors. Somehow I could see right through the carloads of tourists, with their baby strollers and camera phones, and visually breathe in the same monumental forces that captivated John Muir more than a century ago. Yosemite's grandeur transfixed Muir and inspired him to fight for the protection of this natural wonder from the rapacious and unquenchable appetites of America's great industrialists.
Whew! That's the power of Yosemite, as anyone who's ever been there can testify.
And speaking of appetites, enough with the tree-hugging, nature-loving daydream. I was here for pizza! So, back in the car, on through the depths of the Valley, and back up and out of the park, to the heart of "gold country" (as in the '49ers, for those unfamiliar with California history). Twain Harte, Sonora, Columbia, and the other quaint, if somewhat touristy, villages in the area typically attract visitors in search of railroad and mining history, as well as those seeking to hike, hunt, and fish in the area's immense expanse of "wilderness." Not exactly the setting where one would expect to find great pizza, but I knew that somewhere nestled among the whispering pines of Twain Harte, stood The Prospector, of all things a VPN-certified pizzeria and wine bar.
Proprietor, pizzaiolo, and sommelier Robert Martin began, in the fall of 2005, to actively pursue his dream of opening a pizzeria. He first acquainted himself with another local pizza shop with the goal of one day purchasing and transforming it to his own vision. Then, while investigating the traditions of Neapolitan pizza, Martin came across the VPN. Its well-defined and "simple" approach to making pizza spoke to his own culinary muse. So Martin contacted Peppe Miele, president of the American branch of VPN, underwent the training, and then opened up his restaurant in October 2006.
Martin's vision for his restaurant includes a relaxed, communal and artisanal dining experience. To this end, he offers a small number of diverse wines appropriate for the daily menu, shared tables, and either homemade or locally sourced food.
During the warm months, dining takes place on the cozy deck, so I walked through the front room and stepped outside, where I feasted my eyes on a lovely sight, a wood-fired oven glowing golden orange. Things were looking good. Time to order.
We started with the house salad, which, I must say, took simplicity a bit too far. Emerson himself might have cried out for a cherry tomato or two had he been served this bowl of greens. And now for the good news...
The first pie, the Margherita, was visually stimulating. The crushed ruby flesh of imported San Marzano tomatoes, ivory pools of fresh mozzarella dabbed with golden streaks of extra virgin olive oil, and emerald slivers of basil sat seductively atop a nicely charred crust.
Still, the first bite would reveal the truth. And the truth is that the pie did not disappoint. The fior di latte, smooth, creamy, and hand-pulled by Martin, was the perfect partner to the spicy sauce. And the crust, made from "00" imported Italian flour, cooked for roughly 90 seconds, easily carried the cheese, sauce, and locally procured basil. This first crust, nicely charred and bubbled, though quite good, was perhaps a bit too dense. Martin, like most pizza-makers, is often plagued by tempermental dough. But the crusts improved with each pie.
The next pizza, the Rustica, was my favorite of the evening, and not only because I love pork. Consisting of house-cured pancetta, fresh mozzarella, and basil, this pie brought an instant smile to my face. All of the pie's elements commingled in a delicious culinary union, and I devoured slice after slice. The crust, airier and with a greater chewy quality than the previous pie, completely disappeared; I used the last few pieces of it to greedily sop up the last drops of oil on the tray.
The Diavolo, the final pie of the evening, left me a bit frustrated. The crust was nearly faultless, but I could barely eat the pizza. Now, I know what diavolo means, but this was the hottest pie I'd ever eaten. The chiles overwhelmed the tomatoes, salami, and asiago cheese to the point that I couldn't even feel the texture of each bite. My mouth must have been numbed by the heat. Still, I managed to eat three slices — that's what professionals do — but sweat drenched my scalp after only a couple of bites. I loved the crust and wanted to devour it, but I had to throw in the towel.
I love hot, spicy food but was not up to this food challenge. In this confrontation between "man vs. food" (forgive me, Adam Richman), food definitely won.
I'm now beside myself. Not only can I wallow in the natural beauty of Yosemite and the Sierras, I can head to Twain Harte and sit down to a truly satisfying pizza feast. I can almost hear the birds chirping and the mozzarella bubbling. It might be time to hit the road again.

Garcia says arm 'feels great' after throwing
WASHINGTON -- Nationals right-hander Christian Garcia threw from 60 feet on Monday and said his arm "feels great."
"It went really well. I couldn't have done any better," Garcia said. "The ball came out of my hand well."
Garcia is on the disabled list because of a right forearm tendon injury. He will stay with the Nationals until they leave for Cincinnati on Thursday evening and then begin a throwing program in Viera, Fla.
Garcia didn't pitch in a Grapefruit League game after feeling pain in his forearm during the team's first workout in February. But when asked if his arm was feeling good after Monday's throwing session, he said it felt, "really good -- it all felt great."
"Yeah, he felt great," manager Davey Johnson said. "He just played catch. Shoot, it's been, I think, two months [since the injury]. He finally got the OK and he was all grins."

WORCESTER — No state or federal funding will be coming to the city for the cleanup of the Sunday night tornado that caused damage in the Vernon and Union Hill areas. State officials said the EF-0 tornado didn't cause the type of destruction that merits federal funding.
"Our people have been speaking with Worcester officials since Sunday night," Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency spokesman Peter Judge said. "It doesn't appear there is going to be any eligibility."
For an incident to reach the level of a federal disaster there has to be close to $10 million in damage, Mr. Judge said. Although an estimate of damage hasn't yet been calculated, it appears Worcester won't reach that plateau. Much of the city's cost is associated with tree-clearing by city crews.
The city's Department of Public Works and Parks Forestry teams were sent out Sunday in the area and continued working throughout Monday. As of Tuesday, all of the trees knocked down by the storm were cut, and debris still needed to be removed. A visit to the affected areas Tuesday was a stark contrast to the scene in the immediate aftermath of the storm.
More work will be done in the area this week. Also all those who lost power saw it restored by 10:15 p.m. Monday.
"The total costs of the cleanup won't be known until the work is all done," city spokesman John F. Hill said in a message to the Telegram & Gazette. "City officials have worked with MEMA about state and federal reimbursement, but at this point it looks unlikely that the costs will reach the threshold for state or federal help."
City officials said the area was fortunate. Only a few residents saw damage to their vehicles and there were no significant injuries to people or severe damage to homes.
Tara Fawe, an account executive for personal insurance at Braley &Wellington Insurance Group on Park Avenue, said damage to vehicles caused by natural events such as hail, tornadoes or hurricanes would have to carry comprehensive coverage to be covered.
Officials at Worcester Academy are looking into if whether insurance will cover damage to their turf athletic field, known as Morse Field.
Neil R. Isakson, spokesman for Worcester Academy, said a heavy soccer goal went flying during the tornado. Posts holding up netting on the edge of the field also snapped off at the base.
Parts of the turf field were pulled up and torn. Tree limbs punctured parts of the field. It shouldn't hinder any games being played on the field since school starts next week. A cost estimate for fixing the field hasn't been calculated yet, he said.
"We have met with the contractors for the field so we can look at the best way to repair it," he said.
Several residents said they didn't receive warning about the tornado before it was already hitting the area. A meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Taunton said the lag in the warning is associated with the radar.
The National Weather Service's radar scans every four to five minutes. The tornado touched down in between the scanning window. Once meteorologists saw the activity, a warning was issued, said Stephanie Dunten, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Taunton.
