Storage Ideas for Kitchens without Upper Cabinets
Reducing the number of upper cabinets in your kitchen means you lose out on a lot of storage. Here are our best ideas for making up the difference.

Kitchens without Uppers
So you're thinking about building a beautiful new kitchen or remodeling your existing one from the studs out. One of your ideas (and one of our favorite kitchen trends) is to reduce the number of upper cabinets. In fact, you may want to leave uppers off the exterior wall altogether.
Artful Attitude
What can you do with all that vertical space? A wall without upper cabinets gives you a lovely place to display art. (Frame 2-D artwork behind glass so it's protected and easy to wipe clean.) Your eyes—and your soul—will thank you.
Tip: Want to display your children's or grandchildren's artwork? Do so with matching frames and mats that complement the kitchen's décor. It's amazing how a nice mat and frame can elevate simple scribbles to masterworks!
Let There Be Light
Another potential benefit? By installing enormous windows, or enlarging existing ones, you'll be able to soak in the sun while you're cooking, cleaning, eating, or entertaining.
Check out a kitchen that traded uppers for windows and a fireplace.
View Master
Another bonus: Those gigantic windows mean you can really enjoy the view. (That's why you bought this particular lot, wasn't it?)
Get Comfy
Plus, all those large windows and all that light will help your kitchen feel more like living space. Sink back and relax!
Just Say "No" to Clutter
All those benefits help make your kitchen an even more inviting place to hang out. But there's one potential disadvantage to consider. When you reduce the number of upper cabinets, you lose valuable storage space—sometimes a whole wall's worth. Sure, you can stack stuff on the countertops. But doing that reduces the size of your work zone.
So how do you make up for lost storage when you decide to enjoy art, sunshine, or the view—instead of hanging more cabinets? Keep clicking…
Less is More
One of the easiest ways to make up for lost cabinets: Store less stuff in the kitchen. Chances are you have too many dishes, small appliances that don't work, utensils you never use, packaged food that's past its prime, and stale spices that lost their flavor and aroma ages ago. Get rid of them. Purge, purge, purge.
Get Organized
If you're finding it hard to pare back, take a cue from designers—who know the real secret to savvy storage is organization. When the pros plan storage solutions, they pull out every item in the kitchen cabinets and drawers, make a list, evaluate usage patterns (with the homeowner's help, of course), and allot storage based on how and when each item is used.
Try this exercise yourself and you'll find a lot of items you hardly ever use. Think hard about sacrificing valuable space to keep them around. Box and discard what you no longer need. Chances are good you'll never miss that old coffee maker with the cracked lid. Yes, this exercise is a lot of work, but the payoff in improved storage and functionality makes it well worth the effort.
Adjoining Rooms
Or you could handle the overflow by storing it in another room. Here's a stylish solution (especially if you have an open floor plan): Install cabinetry in the dining room that matches cabinetry in the kitchen.
Browse our collection of kitchen cabinets with glass-front doors.
Focal-Point Practicality
As an alternative to cabinetry, consider adding free-standing furniture that can be positioned wherever you like—creating an instant focal point in the kitchen or adjoining room. Along with boosting storage capacity, an antique breakfront (shown) or vintage cupboard boosts the room's style.
For the best outcome in the kitchen, which is probably going to be lined with cabinets and appliances, have the piece on hand before you finalize plans so the builder is sure to find space for it.
Tip: For a perfect fit, commission a custom storage piece that's designed to look like an old cupboard. Include specialized storage features such as plate racks, cup hooks, and drawers for linens.
Repurpose with Style
Don't be afraid to think creatively. Even a vintage wine cage (shown) offers bonus space for storing dishes, serving pieces, mixing bowls, and small appliances.
Tip: Use baskets to corral small items for easy retrieval.
The Great Pretender
You can also pick up the storage slack with cabinetry designed to look like a freestanding piece of furniture. Look for features such as glass-front cabinet doors, muntin detailing, faux feet, and gorgeous hardware.

Sit On It
Another way to put the dining room to work: Ground your view with a banquette or window seat fashioned from base cabinets or customized to include cabinets and/or drawers. What a great place to store table linens, seasonal decorations, or seldom-used small appliances!

Nearby Pantry
For a serious storage shortage, see if you can borrow space from another room, hallway, or closet to build a walk-in pantry lined with shelves. These handy rooms can store nonperishable food, root vegetables, small appliances, pots and pans, paper products, and/or dishes—even the recycling bins.
Tip: Open shelves, clear containers, and shallow baskets make it easier to find what you need.
Butler's Pantry
Upgrade mere storage space with a sink, faucet, wine chiller, icemaker, and meant-to-be-seen cabinets to create an elegant butler's pantry. Not only can you store china, crystal, liquor, and other entertaining staples in this dapper space, you can use the countertop for staging drinks and appetizers.
Because a butler's pantry is more public than a food pantry, consider these additional upgrades:
- Glass-front cabinet doors and interior lights to showcase your best dishes and glassware
- Wide drawers to let fancy linens lie flat (or at least end up with fewer folds)
- Deep drawers and plate racks to organize large serving pieces and platters
- Shallow drawers lined with tarnish-resistant cloth to protect fine flatware
- Tall cubbies to hold guest-worthy vases, pitchers, and candlesticks
Lean In
We've shown you eight ideas that can help you make up for lost storage by storing less stuff in the kitchen. (Okay, seven ideas if you purge the idea about purging.) Check out the following 11 ideas for storing more stuff inside the kitchen without moving any walls.
Open Shelving
Get the best of both worlds by replacing upper cabinets with wall-mounted display shelves. Store dishes within arm's reach, while retaining an open, airy feel that complements your oversize windows.
Bonus: Display shelves are much, much easier to build in custom sizes than cabinets.
Hard-Working Island
Pack chef-friendly storage features into the side of the island facing the range: shallow drawers for knives, spices, or utensils; cabinets or deep drawers to hold pots and pans or small appliances; and open shelves to hold mixing bowls. Use the opposite side of the island for dining (with shallow cabinets below the countertop overhang), wine storage, or even open shelving to display collectibles.
Tip: Putting wine storage or refrigeration on the side of the island nearest the adjoining room makes it easier to serve guests—or for guests to help themselves.
Climb the Wall
Utilize every square inch of storage potential on interior walls by taking cabinetry all the way to the ceiling. (You can always use a rolling library ladder to reach contents!) Then be smart about what you store where. Ceiling-high cabinets should be used for storing seldom-used items such as a turkey roaster or a punch bowl and cups. Cabinets just above the counter should hold the dishes and ingredients you reach for every day.

Reach In
Maybe you want to get rid of some base cabinets while you're at it, and use deep storage drawers for dishes or cookware. This ergonomic choice makes retrieving heavy objects much easier on your back than reaching up and into upper cabinets (especially if you're shorter in stature).
Tip: Choose full extension drawers to make it easier to reach items lurking in the back corners.
Corner Cues
Turn blind corners into user-friendly cabinets by adding a swing-out cabinet organizer (shown) or a classic Lazy Susan. The swing-out organizer brings cabinet contents out into the open and makes them easier to retrieve. With a Lazy Susan, the shelves rotate for better access to stored items. Either way, you gain storage space by eliminating dead space behind cabinet doors.
In other words, when the storage capacity of those base cabinets is fully realized, your loss of upper cabinets hurts a little bit less.
Use Wasted Space
You can also sneak storage solutions into mere slivers of space. Use the toe-kick area for shallow drawers to hold linens or platters, for example. Or put an equally slim cabinet below your stacked wall ovens; use it for pot holders, trivets, and more. (That's the beauty of custom cabinetry: you can transform just about any space into useful storage.)
Backsplash Storage
You know what? Skip the toe kicks and put the walls to work. Customizable backsplash railing systems use components such as shelves, racks, hooks, and holders for paper towels, utensils, knives, cookbooks, lids, and plates to keep your stuff within easy reach. And your countertops stay clean.
Recessed Storage
Make that range wall work harder by adding recessed shelving to the custom cabinetry encasing the ventilation system. Such shelves put oils, spices, and other cooking staples within easy reach of the chef—without taking up valuable cabinet space elsewhere.
Pullout Cabinet
Same concept, different technique: Include tall, slim pullout cabinets beneath the range hood to store seasonings and ingredients close to the action.
Hang 'em High
Another way to reduce your dependence upon cabinets: Hang pots and pans from a ceiling-mounted pot rack. Some models include task lighting to illuminate the work surface below. Bonus: You gain a dramatic focal point!
Window Treatment
If your windows are large enough, you can accent them with a linear pot rack and your well-maintained collection of pots and pans. Cookware remains within easy reach for countertop food prep. And you still get to soak in the sunshine and that beautiful view.
Glass-front Cabinet Doors
Final thoughts: If you simply must have upper cabinets, choose glass-front doors to keep the overall look light and airy.
Tip: If you're going with open shelves or glass-front cabinet doors, invest in a set of matching dishes you'll want to display. Dishes are fun to buy and don't have to cost a fortune. So pony up for pretty ones and donate the old mismatched set to charity.
See more examples of kitchen cabinets with glass-front doors.
Corner Pocket
Or restrain yourself to the slimmest of cabinets—and put them in the corner.
Open for Business
Another option: Hang box shelves, or remove the doors from existing upper cabinets. All that breathing room around the objects within will lighten the visual load.
Color Coordinated
This kitchen maintains its clean, fresh vibe by matching paint colors to the colors of objects mounted on the wall (even the chimney hood!)
Case Study: Light-Filled Kitchen
In this kitchen, tall windows line the breakfast nook and flank the range from countertop to ceiling. The designer also added reflective surfaces to maximize the light.

Case Study: Kitchen with a View
Natural light and outdoor connections are now so important that when this kitchen was renovated, its design was inspired by the beautiful backyard.

I had some fun today configuring a SQL 2012 "AlwaysOn" Availability Group working with a database that was configured to use SQL Logins. I am working with the vendor to see if we can use Integrated Authentication instead, but in the meantime I managed to get failover functional.
The problem I was experiencing was that on failover, the database users defined in the database lost their mappings to the SQL Login on the server. I had created SQL Logins on both nodes of the Availability Group with identical usernames and passwords, but the mapping still failed. Turns out this was happening because SQL Logins (like AD and NT accounts) have SIDs, and these SIDs are used to map database users to logins. To correct the problem, I needed to create SQL Logins with identical SIDs on the two servers.
- Create SQL Logins on one node of the Availability Group and perform mappings.
- Lookup the SIDs of the users using the following query:
SELECT SUSER_SID ('[SqlLogin]')
- Script out creation of the matching logins:
USE [master] GO CREATE LOGIN [SqlLogin] WITH PASSWORD=N'[Password]', SID=[HexidecimalSID], DEFAULT_DATABASE=[myDatabase], DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=[us_english], CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF GO
- Failover the Availability Group and verify that user mappings are working as planned. Verify that passwords are working, too.
Another useful tidbit here is a script to re-map SQL database users to local SQL logins:
USE myDatabase GO sp_change_users_login @Action='update_one', @UserNamePattern='databaseUserName', @LoginName='SqlLoginName'; GO
Really I am surprised that I did not run into this problem with our SQL 2008 mirrored databases. The problem should have been present there as well.

Got crawfish? ...Doug Nelson does
Servers at Doug Nelson's Café have had customers asking the same question every spring for the last five years:
"Doug doin' crawfish this year?"
Well, it seems the busy Southern gentleman has caught a little bit of that spring fever running rampant here in Southeast Texas because, yes, folks. Doug's doin' crawfish this year.
"We used to do crawfish every year for 20 years," recalled Nelson, who's been in the barbecue business for 42 years. "It was always a lot of fun, and we catered, too — we would serve anywhere from 500 to 2,000 pounds of crawfish."
Nelson's legendary barbecue earned such a name for itself that Nelson began bottling his signa- ture sauce, fish fry, steak seasoning and rub spice about 10 years ago, but it was five years ago when his line of seasonings began to really fly off the shelves.
"I got so busy with the seasonings, so I wanted to scale back the work hours here," he said of his restaurant, normally open for lunch weekdays from 10:30 a.m. – 2 p.m.
But as of March 12, Doug Nelson's Café is open Saturdays from 4-9 p.m. now through the end of crawfish season. So what was it that got Nelson to add extra hours in order to bring back the crawfish?
"Well, it was mainly the staff," Nelson replied. "They asked me if they could start doing crawfish, and then the customers always asked about it. They all got so excited, so I started getting excited. Now, I'm real excited."
And so is everyone else — a short, scenic drive down Fannett Road through to the other side of a tiny town called Cheek brings you right up to Doug Nelson's Café, located in the his- torical Hunter building built in 1933 (rumored to have once been a jail.)
Guests are invited to bring their own beverages; with daylight savings time giving everybody that extra hour of sun in the evenings, Doug Nelson's Café makes for the perfect Saturday evening getaway for the entire family.
Prices for Nelson's mudbugs will fluctuate with the market, and he expects them to go down as crawfish season goes into full swing. For those who don't eat crawfish, Nelson will also be serving a limited menu on Saturday including links, barbecue plates, fried shrimp and catfish.
"It's getting better every week; people are com-ing out and we're doing real good," Nelson mused. "I'm real excited about it — and I'm ready to eat some, too."
For more information, call the restaurant during business hours at (409) 842-1557. Doug Nelson's Café is at 10025 Fannett Road (Highway 124) in Beaumont.

Hundreds of Massachusetts janitors, security guards and airport workers will be rallying for better job security and higher wages.
The workers plan to gather at the Boston Common Monday morning to urge wealthy corporations to help rebuild the middle class. They will march from the Common to Copley Plaza after the rally.
Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray, labor union officials and others are also expected at the event.
Organizers say the rally will include local janitors who are pushing for better jobs that bring them closer to the middle class.
The event is sponsored by Local 615 of the Service Employees International Union, which represents 18,000 property service workers in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.

Doctors at the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City saved the life of a three-week old infant by using surgical superglue to stop a bleeding brain aneurysm, CNN reported Monday.
Ashlyn Julian, born May 16, started to worry her parents when she began "screaming all the time and throwing up." When University of Kansas Hospital physicians found an almond-sized aneurysm in the newborn's brain, they resolved to try using superglue to seal it and stop the bleeding.
"We've been using super glue for medical applications for 30 to 40 years," Dr. Koji Ebersole said told KCTV. "Using it inside the blood vessels of the brain is not uncommon. It's uncommon in such a young child."
Ebersole said that his team inserted a micro-catheter into Ashlyn's hip and sent it all the way to her brain.
"The only way I could close that aneurysm with that small of an instrument was with the glue," he said. "Our instruments are several feet long. I just needed a couple of inches to get the job done. . . . We were able to navigate through the twists and turns of her body and brain to get to the aneurysm."
Doctors believe Ashlyn has completely recovered from the ordeal.
"I think it's going to be a normal childhood." Ebersole said.KCTV5

Shopper alert: New gear awaits at MLB Shop
The Giants will wear specially designed jerseys and caps embossed in gold when they receive their 2012 World Series rings in a pregame ceremony on Sunday at AT&T Park, and those items lead the way in an array of new items available this season at the MLB.com Shop.
You can wear those same authentic jerseys from Majestic Athletic and caps from New Era that the Giants players will be wearing for that day's game against the Cardinals. Coincidentally, the Cardinals were the ones who got the gold treatment last year.
In addition to those items, FlairHair visors, updated on-field caps, Jumbotron prints, full-zip jackets, silicone bracelets, an Astros redesign, pillow pets and an ever-increasing selection of women's wear are among the new items to greet this regular season. We asked our own buyers for each Shop category here at Major League Baseball Advanced Media and offer this list of things you have to see in 2013:
Guy Fieri Everywhere. If you haven't seen FlairHair, then get ready, because more than a million of these have been sold and now it's all over MLB. This is 100 percent polyester faux hair coming out of a visor, and no matter what, you have up top, it covers your whole head.
"Flair Hair has already received a ton of buzz in the market and brings a smile to everyone's face," said George Poulos, national sales manager of sports for Concept One, maker of these items. "The visor is essentially a novelty item with attention to authenticity, detail and quality. It's the perfect way for MLB fans to wear their team colors and root for a win."
Springtide Full-Zip Jacket. Majestic Athletic just put out this line in time for Opening Day, a roomy water-resistant model embroidered with woven label.
A&E Home Video "MLB Superstars: Impact Players." How would you construct a dream team of 25 stars and cornerstone players? This is a great way to start a season and see a general manager's perspective on this subject. Matt Kemp, Prince Fielder, Robinson Cano, Stephen Strasburg, David Price, Justin Verlander ... who else? Order for just $14.99 and see.
Personalized Jerseys. It's time to update that closet with your team's newest styles and/or stars. The Astros have an all-new look and the Cardinals have a rare "St. Louis" road jersey. Braves fans who've retired their old No. 10s have their choice of Upton jerseys now, and Angels fans need a Hamilton No. 32.
Jumbotron Art. Today's ballpark scoreboards are freaks of technology compared to the old-school Jumbotrons. But if you grew up with that dot-matrix effect on the big boards, you'll love this collection of 28 prints, each a Hall of Famer who played at some point in the 1980s (Lou Brock is the exception, having finished in '79).
Spring 2013 Majestic Women's Fashion Fanwear Collection. Have you seen the Trouble Crop Top yet? The styles in this collection range from fashion jerseys to track jackets to V-neck tees to hoodies.
KO Full-Zip Therma-FIT Hooded Fleece. This features the team logo on the left chest in raised satin twill patch with front kangaroo pouch pocket, so you'll have it for those early spring games when cool temps persist. Another good Nike option is the Cooperstown Dri-FIT Tempo Track Jacket.
84th All-Star Game. The next Midsummer Classic is July 16 at Citi Field in New York, and you can gear up now with merchandise from every category: accessories, caps, collectibles, fleeces and outwear, home and office, men's, women's and youth.
Mariano Rivera Pennant Base Bobblehead. It's the swan song for the greatest closer ever, and a new bobble from Forever Collectibles in his final year could be a nice piece of memorabilia. Look through the whole collection and tell us in the comments which ones are your favorites.
Authentic Caps. You've read about the new and more lightweight lids the players will wear on the field during games and batting practice, using new technology for greater moisture management and sun protection. Now's the time to get the Diamond Era 59FIFTY and Club 39THIRTY models.
.300 Hitter Hooded Sweatshirt. Out of all the countless hoody styles in the Shop, these brand-new models from Majestic Athletic may be the perfect buy. They're simple, they say it all and they have generally have color options, plus big and tall.
Women's Shorty Swoop 9FORTY Adjustable Cap. Here's another new New Era look, the coolest trucker cap ever. The faded color from crown to bill is pretty sweet, as is the embroidered logo.
Youth 3-in-1 Combo T-shirt. This new Adidas look makes you wish you were a kid again. It's two tees that can be worn separately or laid on top of each other, good for the last stretch of school and those changeable skies.
Victoria's Secret PINK Collection. Like they say at VS Pink, "Batter up, party down." Here's the latest in the fashion line that took baseball by storm the last couple of years. You'll see these everywhere this summer, so the only question is whether you will be wearing it.
Pink Drinkware. Speaking of pink, we've got all-new pink cheetah mugs, pink cheetah tumblers, pink tumblers, pink zebra mugs and pink zebra tumblers.
Authentic Collection "Property Of" Tees & Sweatshirts. These Majestic Athletic designs are worn by players, and that's usually reason enough for a lot of fans to go get 'em.
Gameday Silicone Bracelets. For guys or girls, these feature the MLB logo as well as the Power Balance logo hologram and features your team's color scheme or the optic-yellow version.
Newborn & Infant Sets. Welcome them to the world in style. Lots of style.
Nike Dri-FIT Caps. For the first time, the following caps come in Dri-FIT performance material: Wool Classic, Swoosh Flex and Stadium Visor.
MLB 2K13 Game. Price is on the cover, and it's $59.99 for either the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 editions.
Ticket and Minted Coin Desk Top Acrylic. The Highlight Mint added this to its overall collection, so just pick the star you want with a limited edition of 5,000 for each. It features a player "ticket" with bio on the back, and a 3 1/2-inch by 9-inch acrylic holder that also includes a 39-mm minted commemorative team coin.
Nike Women's Collection. How about starting with that navy H-TOWN T-shirt featuring the new Astros logo on the right hip?
Team Logo Art. These unique prints are based on an original painting by abstract artist Timothy Raines. It will cost $29.99 unframed or $99.99 for a frame, and you can view it with or without the frame plus a zoom of the detail.
Dream Lite Pillow Pets. You can go to the All-Star Game to see baseball's stars at night. Or you can just buy a Pillow Pet. Every kid needs one now, and some adults we know, too.
Pet Collars & Leashes. And for your real pets, the Shop has new team stuff as well.
Franchise Caps. These '47 Brand models are revamped. Colors are deeper and brighter. The raised embroidered logo on front and the flat embroidered logo on back are larger and feature cotton embroidery for a soft texture with thicker and more pronounced cap stitching. The inside's new, too. These are just $29.99.
Tumblers. Tervis Tumblers include the Colossal Wrap in 16- and 24-ounce sizes, plus the Polka Dot Wrap 24-ounce style. If you're like a lot of us, you washed yours and you need some new ones.

ITC Gives Google a Second Shot at Apple With Motorola Patents
Yet another smartphone patent dispute is headed to review at the U.S. International Trade Commission, and like many of those that have gone before it, this one has all-too-familiar players.
The ITC voted Tuesday to investigate a patent-infringement complaint brought against Apple by Google. Filed last month by Quinn Emanuel — the law firm that represented Samsung in its recent courtroom rout by Apple, the complaint alleges that the iPhone maker violated seven patents Google acquired through its $12.5 billion acquisition of Motorola Mobility. Among the accused devices: The iPhone 3GS; the iPhone 4 and 4S; the iPad 2 and new iPad; the Mac Pro, iMac, Mac mini, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air. In other words, a big chunk of Apple's product line. Google is asking the ITC to ban the importation of all these devices, though that's not its end game here. The company is really looking to chicken-wing Apple into negotiating a cross-licensing deal.
"We would like to settle these patent matters, but Apple's unwillingness to work out a license leaves us little choice but to defend ourselves and our engineers' innovations," Google said in an August statement issued by Motorola.
A few things to remember here: The ITC's decision to investigate Google's claims is not a reflection of their merit. It's pretty common for the agency to elect to consider complaints like these. This is the second time Motorola's patents have been asserted against Apple in the ITC, and the first time things didn't so go well. The ITC pretty much cleared Apple of infringement with respect to three patents, and remanded investigation of a fourth.
So Google here is taking a run at Apple with patents that are essentially second choice to a first-choice group that hasn't proven very strong. This is another chance for the company to prove that the $12.5 billion it spent to gain Motorola Mobility's patent portfolio really will deliver the sort of IP protection Google claimed it would. As Google chief legal officer David Drummond said when the search behemoth first announced plans to acquire Motorola Mobility, "We believe we'll be in a very good position to protect the Android ecosystem for all of our partners."
Right now, I'm not sure "very good" is an accurate way to describe Google's position with regard to protecting Android and the OEMs that use it with Motorola's patents. Question is, will it be a year from now, when the ITC finally rules on this complaint?

25.02 - Controls Over Deficit Spending
Last updated July 29, 2016
A. General: This procedure is intended to prevent the accumulation of deficits from year to year. All fund types are subject to 'Controls Over Deficit Spending'. In addition, this procedure is based on the principle of materiality and a defined "material deficit," which directs the level of management oversight of the Responsibility Center Management (RCM). For further background please see Executive Council item EC 2003-0011. [Link TBP]
A-1. Fund Types Subject to Controls Over Deficits. All fund types are covered by this policy. Fund type generally is defined by its revenue source (e.g. appropriated revenue or local revenue). The method of control may vary depending on the fund type. Funds types include, but are not limited to the following:
i) U1, D1, D2, D8, General Education and other State Appropriations
ii) X1 and X2, Auxiliary Enterprises
iii) U3, Local Service
iv) U7, Special Local Service
v) U4, Gift/Donations orgs.
vi) D3, Scholarship, restricted
vii) D4, Grants and Contracts
viii) U5, Scholarship, unrestricted
ix) Z3, Agency
x) Px, Plant and capital
A-2. Definition of "Material Deficit" for Fund Types U1, D1, D2, D3, D4, and D8. The accumulation of deficits within appropriated and/or grant and contract funds are not allowed and thus a material deficit cannot exist. The UI Institutional Planning and Budget Office (IPBO) is responsible for oversight of appropriated funds and Business Systems and Accounting Services is responsible for oversight of grant and contract funds. [ed. 7-10]
A-3. Definition of "Material Deficit" for Fund Types Px, X1, X2, U3, U4, and U7. For purposes of establishing 'controls' over deficit spending, material deficits are defined for Prior Accumulated Deficits (existing as of June 30, 2002), and Current Period Deficits (any fiscal period after June 30, 2003). Specifically,
i) Material Deficits at June 30, 2002, (Prior Accumulated Deficits). At the RCM level, a single fund with an accumulated deficit of $25,000 or more is considered material. (See APM 25.03)
ii) Material Deficits after June 30, 2003, (Current Operating Deficits). A current fiscal year operating deficit is considered material if (a) it exceeds 5% of current year operating expenses; or (b) is greater than $9,999.99. (See APM 25.04)
iii) Scholarship and Agency Funds. Scholarship and agency funds (D3, U5 and Z3) are addressed in separate sections of the APM [Link TBP].
B. Process. Please reference APM 25.03 for instructions as to how to retire Prior Accumulated Deficits. Please reference APM 25.04 for instructions as to how to manage situations of Current Operating Deficits.
C. Information and/or Training Support. Upon implementation of new policies and procedures relating to controls over deficits, employee training will be provided for purposes of establishing controls over deficit spending. Recognizing that these policies and/or procedures are dynamic in their response to changing management practices, no specific training programs are outlined per se. The Division of Finance and IPBO are responsible for delivering initial training programs, which will consist of, but not be limited to the following components. [ed. 7-16]
Program training relating financial condition and stewardship and associated impacts of deficit spending.
Report interpretation (e.g., elements, math, and purpose).
Data mining, report generation, warehouse access, and Banner training.
Reporting timelines, due dates, etc.
Ongoing training and refresher sections.

Celine Review | Fashion Week Fall 2013
Céline Fall 2013
Céline Fall 2013
Work, work, work. That seems to be where Phoebe Philo's head was while designing her Fall 2013 collection for Céline: on how to make it easier for her customers with full-time jobs and even fuller lives to get dressed in the morning. And while she cast away the impractical — if entertaining — fur booties and slippers she showed for Spring, she continued to build on last season's soft tailoring.
That meant the cuts in this offering were languid and generous. Pastel-colored coats with huge lapels and rounded shoulders looked cozy, while circle skirts, dresses, and warm knits looked easy to slip into. But Philo always finds a way to make a statement, and she did that by tying her models up in the sleeves of a few coats and dresses. Perhaps that was a word of caution to her customers: do your job well, but don't let it swallow you.

Derby History Quiz
David Humphreys
When Lord Cornwallis surrendered the British colors at Yorktown effectively ending the Revolutionary War, it was Derby native David Humphreys who had the distinction of receiving them and conveying them to the Congress in Philadelphia. This remarkable man later introduced Merino sheep to Connecticut and established the first factory village in the United States - Humphreysville (now Seymour) where some of the finest wool in the country was spun. Customers included U.S. President Thomas Jefferson who once commented that, "The best fine cloth made in the U.S., I am told, at the manufacture of Col. Humphreys...." Humphrey's birthplace in Ansonia is now the home of the Derby Historical Society. Click here to learn more.
The following had correct answers to this quiz: Mayor Marc Garofalo, Rick Dunne, MarkAnthony Izzo, Kimberly Shelton, Adam Rak, C. F. Douglass, Randy Ritter, Mary Lou Boroski and Marsha Pettingill.
Some further history (From the Connecticut Sons of the American Revolution):
David Humphreys was born in Derby, Connecticut, the son of the Reverend
Daniel Humphreys and Sarah Riggs Bowers Humphreys. He earned his Bachelor
of Arts degree at Yale University in 1771 and a Masters degree in 1774. He
taught school briefly from 1771 to 1773 in Wethersfield, Connecticut and
then became a tutor in New York from 1773 to 1776. With the outbreak of
the Revolution, David Humphreys joined a New York Militia regiment in
1776, and later rose in the 6th Connecticut Regiment to the rank of
Brigade Major. He successively became an aide to General Putnam (in 1778),
General Nathaniel Greene (in 1780), and General George Washington (from
June of 1780 to the end of the hostilities), attaining the rank of
Lieutenant Colonel.

Long before David Letterman became the host of the "Late Show" on CBS, he roamed the halls of 30 Rockefeller Center as host of "Late Night with David Letterman."
He launched the show on NBC in 1982, taping in Studio 6A, just across the hall from where NBC 4 New York's "Live at 5" taped in Studio 6B (now home to "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon").
"Late Night With David Letterman" ended in 1993, after he moved to the "Late Show" at CBS. Letterman announced Thursday he will retire in 2015, after more three decades as a defining fixture of the late night television landscape.
During his time at "Late Night," he enjoyed busting into Studio 6B to visit with Sue Simmons and Jack Caffery on "Live at 5."
Watch more archive video from Letterman's appearances on the "Live at 5" set below.
Letterman's late-night tenure is the longest in TV history. He surpassed Johnny Carson in 2013 at the 31-year mark. Prior to his retirement, Leno had spent 22 years on-air.

At the end of the day, there's nothing like a good massage. However, dragging yourself to the masseuse table and forking over $100 plus per trip can be a drain on you (and your wallet).I understand. Even though i would want you as a client, i know that money is tight in most households. This is why personal massagers are a good option – not only to massage your back! But which one is the best? If you haven't looked at massagers recently, then chances are you don't know the amazing things they can do these days! A high-end massager for your back comes with a ton of comfort inducing features to send you to heaven, such as adjustable moving parts, levels of vibration, and even heat functions. You might be a little suspicious that an electrical massager can deliver anything close to what a trained professional – or untrained friend you talked into massaging you – can deliver, but trust me, your in for a treat. Home massagers today can provide unmatched quality and performance, right in the comfort of your own home.
Today we'll be examining the Zyllion ZMA-14-BK Shiatsu Massage Cushion with Heat (Black) and the Thumper Mini Pro 2 Hand Held Percussive Massager (Black/Purple). I'll be highlighting the main features of each of these massagers, weighing in on the pro's and con's, and then giving you my recommendation for which one you should run out and buy! We'll be focusing on the variety of speeds and functions, pressure level, and overall quality.
Here are the basic features of both the Zyllion and Thumper massagers:
The Zyllion Shiatsu Massager Features…
• Four Adjustable Moving Shiatsu Massage Nodes for the Neck
• Four Deep-Kneading and Rolling Massage Adjustable positions for the Back
• Three Levels of Vibration in the Seat Cushion
• A Back Strape for Easy Attachment to Any Chair
• Automatic Shut Off After Fifteen Minutes
The Thumper Mini Features…
• Hand Held Mobility
• Compact Size: 6"Hx7"Wx17"D
• Focused, Percussive Massaging Action
• Light Weight
• Three Adjustable Power Settings
And now for the test drive…
Speeds and Functions
The Zyllion massager offers a large variety of speeds and settings, allowing you to find the combination that's just right for you. Similar to being able to direct a masseur at navigating the aches and pains of your body, you'll be able to fully control your massage experience with the Zyllion. The moving Shiatsu features for the neck really allow the massager to dig into those tough to reach areas to help elevate the strain of a long day. It's hard to imagine anything more pleasant that a warm, vibrating and focused pressure whisking you away to relaxation heaven while you do nothing but sit back and enjoy. You might even find yourself making excuses about why you should work from home so you can sit in it all day!
A few warnings: A Shiatsu massage can feel a little aggressive to those who are not used to it – they aren't for the faint of heart! Additionally, some users found it to be a little overpriced for the features it has to offer. Although the features are diverse, it lacks the mobility of a smaller, travel sized massager.
The Thumper has a large variety of settings and options, even for a small massager. A few draw backs to consider with the Thumper, however, are as follows. Some larger users found it hard to use because it lacked the ability to delve deeply into their larger more dense bodies. It's important that any massager has the ability to adjust to each area of the body, and the Thumper seems to lack that functionality. No one wants to be pounded into submission when all they are looking for is to be gently massaged into sublimation!
One thing you have to know: A shiatsu massage chair such as the Zyllion is VERY easy when it comes to massaging your back, because all you have to do is just sit, lean back & relax.
Pressure Level
Users of the "smaller variety" found it difficult to get the Zyllion to fit their neck properly at the top of the massager, leaving them a little wanting in the neck massage department. A massager should not discriminate against those who are "vertically lacking"! 😉 Once you are ready to unwind and take a massage trip to paradise, I can imagine being disappointed if you can't reach the equipment properly! Chances are users of the "larger variety" will have a better time with this retreat then those of the petite kind, whom have to find creative ways to employ the neck rolling features on the Zyllion.
Smaller users found using the Thumper to be too powerful to use in tender areas like the neck. Balance is important in the pressure level on a massager, and Thumper struggled a little with this.
Overall Quality
Based on customer feedback, the Zyllion rates four out of five stars – not a bad score at all. Many users find this product to be the perfect solution for how to unwind after a long day at the office or a tough workout.
There were however some complaints about flimsy packaging with the Zyllion, and the included remote that "snapped like a toothpick" when dropped accidentally! Sometimes the best part of getting a new toy is when it arrives, and having poor packaging, damage, or breaking is really a buzz kill.
By comparison, the smaller, travel friendly Thumper received an overall rating of four point four out of five stars – quite an impressive feat! Users found the firm, focused massager head to be great for the tight knots along the spine, buttocks and legs, which can occur when one spends way to many hours a day sitting in front of a computer – I would know!
Advice: Even though a percussion massager such as the thumper might be harder to use on your back, it is THE best way to get rid of trigger points. I'm speaking from experience here, and I have tried many, many different home massagers.
This massager is seriously strong, and can keep up with your aches and pains just like the little champion it is. Imagine being able to come home and wield this lightweight weapon against your tough to reach tension areas and bring you to a whole new level of tranquility! And for those who have trouble sleeping due to deep aches in their back and legs, the Thumper can be a real life safer. Drift off to lala land peacefully after this little wonder has worked its magic on you. Another benefit of the Thumper is that you can lend it to your friends! Although you might not be purchasing a personal massager for the sole reason of being able to lend it out, its nice to know you have product you can share with others in need of some good quality rest and relaxation. Think of the hero you will be when you provide the perfect solution to their troubles! Also the Thumper is perfect for traveling – you'll never have to be to far away from relaxation land when you have this puppy in your luggage.
Who Wins?
In conclusion, I would say both massagers have their pro's and con's. The Zyllion might be too rough for some. The Thumper is gentle, yet effective but , you can't just sit back and let the machine do its work.
Still, I believe the Thumper has the advantage over the Zyllion. Why? It is hand held, light weight, easy to share and store. The Thumper can also travel with your for mobile massage action, while the Zyllion would most likely be left at home. The most important factor still is effectiveness though. So is the thumper the best back massager? Surprisingly yes. You might have leaned towards a shiatsu pillow (homedics etc) as many other sites are recommending these products.
They are not bad, but do not really dive deep into you muscle tissue . This is important if your back pain is neuro-muscular in nature Percussion Massagers are little miracles when it comes to treating myofascial trigger points at home,. I recommend them highly as a complementary therapy to professional massages and treatment with magnesium.
So check out the Thumper today and get ready to unwind after a visit with the little massager that could!

Subscribe To Fighting Games That You've Undoubtedly Forgotten About Part II Updates
I've already subscribed
In the last installment of fighting games you've undoubtedly forgotten about, there were some real winners in that batch of oven baked oatmeal cookies, and there are some more in this list. But there are also some real stinkers this time around. Make sure you pinch your nose near the end of the article. I think the landfill is calling to pick some of these losers back up.
Just recently re-released on the Virtual Console (Thanks for the shout out, by the way, Pete!), ClayFighter, while not revolutionary at the time, should have been. If not for its gameplay (And it DEFINITELY shouldn't have been for its gameplay), then definitely for its creativity and uniqueness. Quite frankly, there's nothing else like ClayFighter, and this is good at times, and also terrible at others. The assortment of characters is what does it for me though. Granted, most of it was just an ongoing gag of the fact that they were sculpted out of clay (Blue Suede GOO, anyone?), but it was a fun little roster, with Bad Mr. Frosty rounding out the pugilists. The graphics were also pretty mind blowing at the time. They weren't Donkey Kong Country mind-blowing, mind you, but for a fighting game with some pretty good physics and jump attacks, it definitely was a hint at where the consoles were capable of going at the time. ClayFighter equals great fun.
Oh, and PS, the sequel had Boogerman and Earthworm Jim in it. Is there anything better than that?
World Heroes
Can somebody say total rip-off? Well, many Street Fighter fans did at the time, and a lot of them still do to this very day. But that's straight-up poppy cock, as WH was loads different, like the fact that it only had three buttons (Hey, that's three less, SF fans!) instead of six, and that, kind of like Eternal Champions, it based its combatants off of different periods of time, but unlike Eternal Champions, it actually had some real ones in there, too (Who knew Rasputin kicked so much heiny in his time?). The problem was, not many people were willing to give a chance back then, so the series pretty much ended at World Heroes Perfect. But some people still dig it, and you can find the original on the Virtual Console. It's all sorts of greatness. Trust me, it is.
Rival Schools: United By Fate
A game so good that a band named themselves after it (Rival Schools Band) , RS:UBF is a real romper stomper of a title, and definitely Capcom's third best fighter outside of Street Fighter (Star Gladiator is my first favorite, and the next one down is my second). As a fighter, it was a bit different. Similar to the tag feature in the Marvel vs. Street Fighter series, you would pick two characters to wreak havoc on the screen, with the sports teams and school spirit being a nice touch to a pretty gimmicky feature. But this being Capcom, they of COURSE had to ramp up the weirdness to a million, as even the hot school nurse and the school principal had to get in on the mix, throwing out shoryukens like it's going out of style (Which it never is, of course, how could it? They're awesome). And while the actual meat and potatoes one-on-one combat wasn't all that spectacular, whipping out those ultra-deluxe tag-team supers sure was something special. Whoo-Wee, too awesome, too awesome. RS:UBF is a decent game with more than a few features that make it stand out. Definitely worth a gander if you can even find it these days.
Darkstalkers is very much Street Fighter. And I'm not even calling it Street Fighter lite, either (i.e., SF Alpha one and two), but genuine, "I'll quarter circle that aaaass," Street Fighter, with all of the key ingredients already shuffled and stirred into the mixing bowl of success. There are the outrageous, but humorous characters (Anakaris, you have funny fingers), the high combo blasting supers, and even the tough as nails boss, that make this game every much a Street Fighter killer as any, even if it IS already underneath the Capcom umbrella. Is there any wonder why four of the characters from this series made the leap to Marvel vs. Capcom 2? Darkstalkers is an AMAZING game, and one that, if you're a fighting fan, you can't live without. Behind Star Gladiator, this is my second favorite, non-Street Fighter Capcom game. It's just that good.
Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story
Okay, whoever thought it was a good idea to have a story mode where you could only pick ONE CHARACTER (Acclaim, I'm looking at you) should seriously be brought out to a spanking range blindfolded and then just made to sit there with their bare bottom out, waiting for a paddling that will never come (It's the ANTICIPATION that will hurt the most), because it's a stupid idea. Seriously. Being able to only play as the man with the fists for the story mode is just plain weak, and it truly ruined what could have been an awesome experience, which was marred by the idea that the game had to stay true to the movie it was based on. The combat is kind of cool though, and I especially LIKE the ability to jump on your characters when they're down, which was truly Bruce Lee-esque in scope. But really, the game was pretty much like playing Tekken before Law came along, and after that happened, it pretty much made this game obsolete. So yeah, it was a cool concept, but it was poorly executed. That's Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story.
Shaq Fu
Um, excuse me? You mean to tell me that Shaq has a fighting game? And it comes with a bonus CD of Shaq calling himself "Shaq Diesel"? Only in the Clinton years, my friend, only in the Clinton years. I mean, I know that NOW, the idea of larger than life basketball players doing superhero acts doesn't seem so far-fetched anymore, what with Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic donning a Superman cape and slamming it home at the All-Star game, but back in the day, this was almost as ridiculous as that Michael Jordan plat-former where he was bouncing on trampolines and acquiring points from nabbing basketballs—I said, almost. But truthfully, Shaq-Fu really is ridiculously terrible and quite possible one of the worst games—forget fighters, I'm saying GAMES—ever made. It had HORRIBLE hit detection, a tremendously hard difficulty level (I remember getting to the third character, like, twice), and a story that makes the Mortal Kombat mythology look like it was written by Gustav Flaubert. In other words, Space Jam made more sense, and that movie didn't make ANY sense (It was pretty good, though. Great soundtrack). Shaq Fu ? More like (Wait for it) Shaq-Poo! And I could care less if I just wasted my college education on a poop joke. This is America, dammit, and Kevin Smith is a star.
War Gods
This, I guess you could call it, "follow-up" to Mortal Kombat is an absolute mess disguised as something original. Really, all it is is people dressed up in funny costumes (Funnier than even Kabal from MK3, and that was pretty funny), walloping on each other and chanting strange things from surround sound speakers. Undoubtedly, this is even WORSE than Shaq-Fu (and did you read what I just wrote about Shaq Fu? That game is TERRIBLE). I mean seriously, I don't think I could even TELL you what was so bad with it, but as soon as you touched that joystick, any smile you might have had on your face after eating at Roli Boli in the food court was utterly and completely destroyed, and you were stuck with trying to pull off any of the cool looking fatalities you saw in Ultra Game Players, only to end up uppercutting them really high and having them land, thud, right back on the concrete. Well, you know what, screw War Gods, and screw Midway for thinking people would actually be dumb enough to like it. Don't you guys have market testers? They couldn't have POSSIBLY have liked rolling around the bland as all get out stages and those cookie cutter combos, could they have? I mean, just look at the side of the cabinet. What the hell is THAT thing? I'll tell you what it's NOT. Awesome. Not even a little.

"They're never this quiet!" --a first ring Cleveland teacher commenting on the behavior of the 220 students sitting in an auditorium taking a My Voice survey.
The set up was the same as in Akron a few weeks ago. More arm wrestling. More encouragement to think win-win in school with teachers. Only this time instead of sharing My Voice results with students, we were administering the My Voice survey. This school had opted for the paper version and the silent seriousness with which students took the survey was impressive. All 1500 of them in 200+ installments. No one had to shush them. No one had to ask them to be respectful to the guests. No one had to pull a student out for horsing around. We simply showed up, told the students we wanted to hear from them, and their desire to be heard, paradoxically, kept them quiet for the fifteen minutes it takes to complete the survey.
I am more and more convinced that this is how we must move forward in improving our schools. Not in conference rooms with committees of overworked teachers and administrators trying to decide what is best for the students, but with students themselves as our partners. In these assemblies I keep saying teachers and students want the same thing: Students don't want to be bored and teachers don't want to be boring, students do not enter high school so they can drop out and no teacher wants students to drop out, students do not want to be ignorant and teachers do not want their students to be ignorant. Why then have we been stuck for the past ten years with the same amount of students saying they are bored, the same dropout rate, the same amount of ignorance and, by the way, fairly stagnant test scores?
I don't know the answer. I do know that if we start listening to students more they will help us find them. I know that if we ask the right questions in all seriousness they will answer in all seriousness. I know the way forward is with the students, not simply on our own, even if on their behalf.

I've been following around my 83-year old dad in Le Marche, Italy these last two weeks and want to digress from my usual topic to share something about this lovely and relatively unknown region. Le Marche, or the Marches, is about 100,000 kilometers square and lies about parallel with Rome, on the Adriatic coast. Flanked by Emilia-Romagna to the north and Abruzzi to the south, the land of Le Marche rises up from narrow coastal plains to the Apennines, which forms a boundary with Umbria and Tuscany to the west.
My father's family is from Piceno, the southernmost area of Le Marche, in the Tronto river valley and its surrounding hills to the north (the hills on the south side of the Tronto river belong to Abruzzi). The oldest folks are farm people; my generation is working class. Twice a year my dad takes the exact same trip to Italy—a white knuckled, nearsighted drive from Rome to Le Marche for a week, then a few days in Florence, and a final few in Rome. He goes to visit with family, primarily his Aunt Ada, who at 90 is only seven years older, but treats my dad like her son, and to check on his little rental apartment in San Benedetto Del Tronto, one of Le Marche's most popular seaside resorts.
The first meal he has in Ada's chilly house in Centobucci (which means one hundred holes) is always stracciatelle, because Ada thinks traveling upsets the stomach and stracciatelle is easy on the gut. Hers is marvelous: the egg is soft and flavored with lemon zest and parmesan cheese, and the stock is strong and yellow—evidence of the thick, almost orange-skinned chickens she uses. Although she lives in what is now a sprawling suburb, Ada keeps a small flock of chickens in a pen in her driveway, and she periodically kills an old one off for soup.
In Ada's house the windows are always shuttered, and the terrazzo floors icy. It's a childless old lady's house, somehow trapped in time. On the vanity in my bedroom is an old velveteen Valentine candy box with a hank of hair, a chestnut, and a few odd keys inside. Somehow those miscellaneous items spoke volumes about loneliness and longing, even though there was no sense to be made of them. But the kitchen, with its fireplace and simmering smells, is cozy and lovely, and it is there that we spent most of our time. Ada's late husband Ottilio built the house over fifty years ago on the Via Salaria—the old Roman salt road–in what was a verdant agricultural valley pinned with tomato stakes, but it has since been zoned an industrial area and as a result, much of the beauty of this part of the Tronto valley has faded.
But the surrounding hills are a different story. They are rounded by thousands of years under the plow, and most are surmounted by a farm house, church, or ancient fortified village. The landscape is a rumpled patchwork quilt of tidy fields with spindly cypress trees reaching toward the blue, blue sky. Our first outing was to Montepradone, a beautiful, brick hilltop town—all the towns in this part of Le Marche are made of sienna-colored brick and all are on top of hills—where my Uncle Ottilio was the mayor during the 1950s. Dad told me that when he was a student (he came to study painting in Florence on the GI bill after WWII) he used to ride his bike up to the town after lunch when everyone was napping and as he wandered through the still streets a girl's voice would begin from behind the shuttered windows "There goes the American artist carrying his paints. What is he going to paint today?" And then another girlish voice would pick up the tune. "He is going to paint the church in the piazza like he does everyday…" and so on, from hidden girl to hidden girl.
From Montepradone you can see the snow covered Apennines to the west and the Adriatic Sea to the east and feel the salt breeze or the minerally mountain wind. This is what makes the region so enticing—that intrepid mix of mountains and sea, town and country. And as a result of this mix, you can eat incredibly good, regional fish dishes as well as incredibly good, regional meat dishes. In my next post I'll publish some of the classic recipes: fried olives, chicken with olives, and brodetto, the region's superlative fish stew.
Ada's Stracciatelle
Serves 4
6 cups chicken stock (use homemade for best results—see talkthrough below)
4 eggs
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Juice from one half lemon
2 tablespoons minced flat-leafed parsley (for garnish)
Heat the stock over a medium low heat. In a bowl combine the eggs, cheese, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Add the egg mixture to the stock, stirring all the while. Do not let the stock come to a boil. A hot simmer is good. Cook until the egg is cooked through, pale yellow, but still soft. It will look like floating scrambled eggs. Add the lemon juice and garnish with the parsley. Serve with additional parmesan, if you like.
Chicken stock
To make about three quarts of stock, I throw a small organic chicken into a heavy bottomed soup pot with a medium sized onion peeled and studded with a couple of whole cloves, a few peeled carrots, a couple of celery stalks, a lemon cut in half, a handful of herbs like parsley and thyme, a bay leaf, a few pepper corns, and about 3 and a half quarts of water. If you've got the leftover tops of fennel, a beef bone, a turnip or parsnip, a parmesan cheese rind, whatever: throw it in, too. (But don't add salt. You want to be able to control the flavor when you use the stock in dishes, so add salt as needed when preparing a dish with the stock.) Chicken stock made from the leftover bones of a roast is excellent but you'll need a couple of carcasses to produce a flavorful three quarts of stock.
Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and boil very gently for hours–I'm talking about one burping-type bubble a second. Often I put the stock on before bedtime and leave it to cook overnight. The house smells fabulous in the morning. I put yesterdays stock on at about 1 pm and took off at about 5 pm. Delicious.
When the stock looks yellow and smells good and has reduced by about two cups, remove the chicken and save the meat (make croquettes if you like–see my Tapenade post for a recipe, or chicken salad with homemade mayo—see my Homemade Basics post for a mayo recipe).
Strain the stock and pour into sterilized quart jars (boil the jars for 10 minutes to sterilize. Denverites, add three minutes to your boiling time). To keep the stock, refrigerate, but bring it to a boil for ten minutes (13 minutes in the Rockies) every three to four days. You'll lose volume, but gain time. Otherwise, freeze. If you freeze, make sure you leave about 1 and one half inches of headroom in the top of a freeze-safe jar or plastic container for the stock to expand. Don't put hot jars in the freezer or they might crack. Chill jars in the fridge first.
Beef stock, by the way, is the same recipe, only with meaty bones like oxtail and short ribs. However, for a nice brown stock, cut the onion at the equator and sear the cut faces in a hot iron skillet until blackened, then add to the soup. If you have beef stock on hand you can make a cocktail that was once popular but is not around so much anymore: the Bull Shot–cool clear beef stock and vodka.

The home of Taylor Fritz in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., is glittering with gold balls.
The third-seeded Fritz defeated No. 10 Gianni Ross of Burr Ridge, Ill., 6-1, 6-3 in the singles final. The day before, Fritz and his doubles partner, Anudeep Kodali of Durham, N.C., the No. 1 seeds, dispatched the No. 3 team of Lane Leschly (Atherton, Calif.) and Mwendwa Mbithi (Succasunna, N.J.) 6-0, 6-1 in the championship match.
Fritz's accomplishment marked the second straight year a player swept the singles and doubles championships at the event hosted by the San Antonio Tennis Association. Cameron Klinger won both events in 2011.
"When you get into nationals, and the final rounds, everybody is good enough to beat everybody else," said Fritz, who will enter Torrey Pines High School in San Diego in September. "It all comes down to how someone plays against you. It's all the best players in the United States here. When I got out there in the final rounds, I concentrated really hard and played my game. I played well enough to beat some really great players."
The 6-foot-1 Fritz has some great "tennis genes" in him. His dad, Guy Fritz, a former pro player, accompanied him to Texas. His mom, Kathy May Fritz, a 2011 Southern California Tennis Association Hall of Fame inductee (with Billie Jean King, Dick Leach, and others), was once ranked No. 8 on the women's pro tour in the late 1970s. She also has collected an enormous number of USTA gold balls!
The first gold ball for the younger Fritz was garnered in July at the USTA Clay Courts at Fort Lauderdale, Fla., as he and Billy Rowe (Coronado, Calif.) bested his future first-time partner, Kodali, and Johnathan Small (Midland, Mich.) in the doubles championship.

Salt-Water-Soaked Chicken Not at all Natural, Says CSPI
Statement of CSPI Executive Director Michael F. Jacobson
Chicken, salt, and water all are natural, but when you combine the three what you get is chicken that is anything but "all natural."
When Americans take their hard-earned dollars to the supermarket, they want the most value for their money. And when they see labels like "100 percent natural," they assume that the foods really are. Unfortunately, too many unscrupulous poultry producers, with the regrettable acquiescence of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, have drained the meaning from those words.
The practice of pumping up poultry with salt water is basically a hidden tax of up to 15 percent that extracts about $2 billion from American consumers each year. This isn't about "enhancing" chicken, it's about enhancing profits.
Think of it this way. You think you're buying 7.5 pounds of chicken, if 15 percent is water weight; you're really getting less than six and a half pounds of chicken and more than one pound of added water.
Harm to our pocketbook would be bad enough, but adulterated chicken is also harmful to our health.
Sodium chloride, or salt, is probably the single most harmful ingredient in the food supply. It's a major promoter of high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, and other ailments.
Most adults should not consume more than about 1,500 milligrams of sodium per day, yet the average adult is consuming closer to 4,000 milligrams a day. Researchers have estimated that reducing sodium to recommended levels would save on the order of 100,000 deaths a year.
One of the practices that has made our food supply so dangerously high in sodium is the adulteration of chicken with a salty broth. Just three days ago the Institute of Medicine called for sharply lower sodium levels in our food supply. Salted chicken would be one good place to start.

TUCSON >> The desert is no place for the meek of heart or the timid. Not in the middle of the day and certainly not deep into a dark, crisp night.
The dark and still and vastness and spooky unknown wreaks havoc on the sense of direction and cripples the confidence. Then the mind games set in, and you're done.
People lose their way in the desert — or worse.
Good thing, then, that UCLA brought Brett Hundley as its compass Saturday night in Tucson.
The 8 p.m. local start time and the revved-up Homecoming crowd at Arizona Stadium were intimidating enough. Throw in the serious Pac-12 South Division ramifications and a feisty Wildcats team on the come, and the Bruins had their hands full.
And that was without UCLA head coach Jim Mora ridiculously opting to try a fake punt at the Bruins' 25-yard line early in the second quarter and leading by 11 — a bonehead decision that predictably blew up in the Bruins' faces and led to an easy Wildcats touchdown to cut the lead to four.
UCLA was in complete control when Mora decided to go all Wild West on everyone, but you could almost see momentum shift to Arizona as soon as UCLA punter Sean Covington's pass fell feebly at the feet of Myles Jack, his intended receiver, to turn the ball over to the Wildcats.
Again, the desert can have an unusual effect on people sometimes.
Mora being the perfect example, grasping as he did for something that wasn't really there and momentarily leading the Bruins astray.
But Hundley was nearby to bail him out.
And here and there and everywhere else.
The Bruins sophomore quarterback was bigger than the desert Saturday. He was bigger than his coach and the Wildcats and the implications of a game that has far-reaching implications in an up-for-grabs South Division and a potential spot in the conference title game.
But then, who knows the desert and its markers and survival requirements better than Hundley, who grew up in nearby Chandler, Ariz., and is as comfortable in these settings as he seems to be playing the sort of quarterback that's transformed the Bruins into a top 20 team in the country?
Whether it was using his strong, accurate throwing arm or fleet legs, Hundley carried the Bruins to a 21-10 lead at halftime, completing his first pass of the game for a 66-yard-touchdown to Shaq Evans and then silencing Arizona Stadium with an electrifying 15-yard touchdown run on which he corkscrewed three Wildcat defenders into the ground, each of them grasping at air as Hundley made his way to the end zone.
It's everything what we've come to expect from the Bruins' gifted quarterback, yet still we howl with surprise every time he pulls off another spectacular play.
The one remaining layer to his continually expanding game is poise and leadership required to guide the Bruins on a treacherous journey in a hostile environment with big-time consequences resting in the outcome.
He didn't exactly fail in two previous tries this year in losses at Stanford and Oregon, but a crisper showing in both games could have improved the endings.
Arizona might not offer the kind of intimidating atmosphere of Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Ore., and the Wildcats certainly don't present the physical challenge of Stanford, but the high-pitched setting was certainly charged up enough to scare of a weak-minded quarterback.
But what we're learning about Hundley is he's got a lot of moxy to go along with all that talent.
On Saturday, the two tangibles intersected in a way we haven't always seen — especially in this sort of setting.
And for the Bruins to continue to climb upward, the overlap between physical talent and mental toughness must become a mainstay.
Hundley was poised standing in the pocket while completing 14 of 19 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns through three quarters, his second touchdown pass putting UCLA up 21-10 and deftly lifting Mora off the hook for his fake punt shenanigans.
And he was opportunistic with his running, smartly using his legs only as a last resort or when the Wildcats running lanes too obvious to ignore.
Hundley had 51 yards on 10 runs through three quarters, and every one of the carries made perfect sense and navigated the Bruins to safety.
Most importantly he avoided the costly turnover, a prerequisite to winning on the road.
Not to mention keeping your composure in the desert,

NAIA Women's Outdoor Track & Field Athletes of the Week - No. 7
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Jura Levy of Oklahoma Baptist has been named the NAIA National Women's Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week and Chanel Roberts of Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) has been selected as the NAIA National Women's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week, the national office announced Wednesday. Levy, who is receiving the honor for the second-straight week, and Roberts were chosen based on their performances from April 21 – 27.
Levy, a native of Trelawny, Jamaica, won an individual crown in 100-meters at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa, besting a field of NCAA Division I sprinters with a time of 11.63. Arguably the senior's most impressive performance of the meet came as a member of the Bison's sprint medley relay team. The squad consisting of Levy, Aspen Marical, Stacy Warrior and Hannah Helker took first place and set a meet record with a time of 3:47.03. Levy also took second place as a member of Oklahoma Baptist's 4x100-meter relay and 4x400-meter relay teams.
Roberts, a freshman from Radcliff, Ky., won both the high jump and shot put at the Mid-South Conference Championships on April 26. In the high jump, Roberts set a new Lindsey Wilson record with a leap of 1.60m (5'-3"). Her put of 14.70m (48'-2.75") shattered the previous meet record of 12.61m (41'-4.5"). Roberts, who with her performance at the meet earned Mid-South Conference Freshman of the Year honors, also took fourth-place in the long jump with a mark of 4.75m (15'-7") and fifth in the 100-meters with a time of 12.94. In total, Roberts scored 29 of the Blue Raiders' 185 points.

Read about the new iPad Air and iPad mini 2
Take this with a pinch of salt, but a supposed Geekbench score has revealed that the Apple-modified, 1GHz ARM V7 chip in the new iPhone 5, a dual-core A6, outpaces many other smartphones – as well as Apple's own flagship iPad 3 tablet – when it comes to raw number crunching in version 2.3.4 of the iOS benchmark.
Read all the latest iPhone 5 news and features here
With 1601 points to its name, the supposed iPhone 5 benchmark score dug up by 9to5Mac beats the 1560-scoring Galaxy S3 with its quad-core Exynos processor, while the likewise quad-core Tegra 3 chip in the Asus/Google Nexus 7 manages 1591. Of course, the Galaxy Note 2 will have a faster CPU still and the Nexus 7 is not exactly the fastest-clocked Tegra 3 around, but this is impressive stuff nonetheless.
However, don't base too much on these scores even if they are true. After all, artificial benchmarks rarely tell the full story, as is interestingly demonstrated by the fact that the HTC One S, with its 1.5GHz Snapdragon processor, is ranked far below the above devices – despite the S4 architecture being known to beat a similarly clocked Tegra 3 in a number of scenarios. Also, depending on how heavily threaded an app or the OS itself are, an extra two cores may well come in handy.
Anyway, if you want bragging rights to the best performance, keep an eye out for the new LG flagship phone that's just been announced in Korea, the LG Optimus G. This mega-smartphone with its 4.70-inch HD IPS screen packs in the newest quad-core version of Qualcomm's S4 along with lightning-fast Adreno 320 graphics, and backs them with a whopping 2GB of RAM (just like on some versions of the S4).
However, you'll need to wait till the beginning of 2013 to get your hands on one of those, so for now it would appear the iPhone 5 might well be able to put a feather in its cap. Of course, we'll have to see if performance numbers across the board with confirmed retail iPhone 5s will match the potential being shown off here, and even the Note 2 may already kick it off its high spot.

Bevölkerung von Syrien : Weltweite Reiseinformationen bei Alooha Länder der Welt > Bevölkerung > Syrien
Länder nach Einwohnerzahl: Syrien (Syria)
Syria is a country in Western Asia, bordering Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea to the West, Turkey to the north, Iraq to the east, Jordan to the south, and Israel to the southwest.
In English, the name Syria was formerly synonymous with the Levant, known in Arabic as Sham, while the modern state encompasses the sites of several ancient kingdoms and empires, including the Eblan civilization of the third millennium BC. In the Islamic era, its capital city, Damascus, the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world, was the seat of the Umayyad Caliphate, and a provincial capital of the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt. The population of Syria is 74% Sunni (mostly Sunni Arabs, but also Kurds, Circassians and Turkomans), 13% Alawi and Shia (mostly Arabs), 10% Christian (Arab Christians, Assyrians and Armenians) and 3% Druze (sometimes considered part of Shia Islam). Combined, 87% of the Syrian population is Muslim. The majority of the Syrian population is Arab.
The modern Syrian state was established after the First World War as a French mandate, and represented the largest Arab state to emerge from the formerly Ottoman-ruled Arab Levant. It gained independence in April 1946, as a parliamentary republic. The post-independence period was tumultuous, and a large number of military coups and coup attempts shook the country in the period 1949–1971. Between 1958 and 1961, Syria entered a brief union with Egypt, which was terminated by a military coup. Syria was under Emergency Law from 1963 to 2011, effectively suspending most constitutional protections for citizens, and its system of government is considered to be non-democratic. Bashar al-Assad has been president since 2000 and was preceded by his father Hafez al-Assad, who was in office from 1971.
Since March 2011, Syria has been embroiled in civil war in the wake of uprisings (considered an extension of the Arab Spring, the mass movement of revolutions and protests in the Arab world) against Assad and the neo-Ba'athist government. This conflict has resulted in sanctions by the international community aimed at trade and government officials.
