For the past few months, I've been collecting pictures of kitchens from readers. Some are new kitchens and some are total redos. I originally wanted to start the series with the Nantucket kitchen shown a few weeks ago, but that became more of a story on the architectural designer Nancy Fishelson HERE than on the reader's kitchen. So, we will start today with a kitchen renovation – in Paris France.
Sally Wheat's gray kitchen which started the kitchen craze.
Why show just kitchens, you may ask? The truth is, readers have been sending me pictures of their kitchens ever since I showed Sally Wheat's now famous gray kitchen. For some reason (maybe because it is so pretty,) her kitchen really spoke to a lot of people. I can't tell you how many emails I have gotten over the years with questions like "what color did Sally use?" Benjamin Moore Fieldstone. "Where did Sally get her pendant lights from?" BROWN in Houston. I've even shown readers kitchens that were remodeled using Sally's kitchen as their inspiration. And then there was my own kitchen remodeling that I talked about for far too many times. It just seems like readers love to talk about kitchens and see pictures of kitchens. One day I'd like to do a series on living rooms and bedrooms too. Maybe later this year!! Finally, don't worry if you have a kitchen you want to show but haven't sent in your pictures just yet – you still have time. I have a lot of kitchens to show, so the series will last for quite a while. Sooooo, without any further ado, let's start with the first kitchen!
Today's kitchen is in Paris, France. The apartment was recently purchased and redone by an American couple who had been looking for a few years for a second home in the City of Lights. After a long search, this apartment, with a beautiful view of the Eiffel tower, was found. There was only one major problem with the place – the kitchen.
The original kitchen, as it looked on closing day, was located in the back of the apartment – far from the dining room. Though the kitchen was almost new, the style was far too modern for the owners. There was a view of the courtyard from the kitchen window – but why have a view of the courtyard, when you can have a view of the Eiffel Tower instead? The new owners decided to move the kitchen – into the dining room.
This is the courtyard view of the original kitchen. While charming, it's not the Eiffel Tower.
Here is the dining room, which the former owners used as a study.
And, here is what the dining room looked like when the new owners took over the apartment. The fireplace is the focal point – as is the view outside the Juliet balcony. The herringbone wood floors are so gorgeous and were a major selling point for the owners.
Here is a view through tall French doors from the living room into the dining room.
Since the modern kitchen had actually been recently installed, the contractor was able to give it another person so it wouldn't be wasted. The old kitchen space was then turned into an extra bathroom. Here, is an early sketch of the new kitchen which was enlarged to start in the corner and continue through to the other side of the fireplace.
After many many months, the owner was told the kitchen was in. She immediately flew to Paris to discover it was in, but not in-stalled. Here's the kitchen in boxes, just as it was left!
And then, after unpacking, it looked like this.
Today, the new kitchen installed in the dining room. At first it is hard to really see the kitchen, it blends in so well and looks like bookshelves. The chandelier and mirror further the illusion that this is just a dining room. Notice how the mirror reflects the living room's mirror and chandelier. Also remember when hanging mirrors to reflect something worth seeing.
The view towards the street and the Eiffel Tower. The antique table, chairs, chandelier, sconces and mirror were all bought in France. On the back of the French chairs is a pink and white checked taffeta. So charming! Isn't this just beautiful?!!! I would love a kitchen like this in my own second home in Paris!!!
Here is a view towards the cooktop and hood.
Looking from the dining room into the beautiful living room.
Looking from the living room into the dining room.
Here is a picture of the dining room table right before it was purchased in a Paris market. She is testing out the apron, being sure there is enough leg room under the table – there was.
The new bathroom that was once the kitchen.
The owners of this beautiful French apartment are also partners in Huff Harrington Fine Art, Ltd, an art gallery in Atlanta, Georgia. The name may sound familiar to long-time Cote de Texas readers. Last year they photoshopped pictures of the art work they sell onto a picture of a family room I had recently designed. You can read the story on their blog – The Artful Lifestyle HERE and the story on my blog HERE.
Here is one of Huff Harrington's photoshopped pictures of one of the paintings on the mantel of my client's house.
I hope you have enjoyed the first installment of readers kitchen. I think it's a special one, being in France and owned by Americans! To read more about this apartment – articles are sprinkled throughout Huff Harrington's blog HERE.
Remember, there is still time to send in your own kitchen.
This message is to those of you who subscribe to Cote de Texas by email. I get a question about this several times a week and thought I would discuss it here so that everyone will understand. I like to show big pictures on the blog. I think it looks better and you can see much more detail. Unfortunately, all that size does NOT fit on emails. If you get the blog in an email, the only way to really read it is to click over to the actual blog site on the internet. Do NOT attempt to read the blog on your email.
The easiest way to get to the blog from the email is to double click on the title. So, above, is a picture your email. When you got this email, you should have double clicked on the title "West University House Tour #2. This would have taken you directly to the internet blog Cote de Texas, which is where you should read the blog! Instead of reading it directly from the email, it will be much more enjoyable and much easier to read this way. You know you are at the internet blog site when you see the header below:
One other often asked question is about the pictures. Since the images are so large, they do take long to download. I realize this, but I would rather have the bigger, prettier images that take longer to load than the smaller pictures. So, I ask your patience in this. When you come to the blog, just give it 30 seconds to a minute to load – all the pictures should be up by then.
Finally, a HUGE thank you to all who commented on my newly redecorated living room. I got so many comments – mostly positive - that I was shocked. Even all the negative comments are welcomed because they came with good suggestions. Some suggested I should trade out the cow hide rug for a zebra one. I love that idea and may do it one day soon. Another repeated comment was to trade out the high tea table for a low ottoman. Well – my ceiling is so high, that I think the high tea table connects the floor to the ceiling – while a low ottoman would accentuate the height disparity. That's my reasoning behind the table. Others liked my masonware better than my books and shells (my mother is included in this one!) I didn't get rid of my masonware and it will probably be dragged out again in some other room. Right now it's on vacation with all my blue and white transferware. More negative comments were from people who hate white slipcovers, especially white slipcovers with scallops. Well, like they say, that's what makes horse racing. You either love the look or you positively hate it. I can't change that. Still, the discussion is great because you learn something – from both the positive and the negative comments.
This past May, I started my fifth year of blogging, which is so hard for me to believe. What started out as a fun exercise for me and possibly, my best friend, has turned into something I never in a million years imagined or expected. I can't tell you how much your reading this blog means to me. Without you, there would be no Cote de Texas. While I try to answer comments, I never seem to be able to answer all of them and it makes me feel so guilty. So, please, accept my sincere thank you here, for the time you take to read and to comment. From the bottom of my heart, I can never thank you enough.

By noon today, Warriors coach Don Nelson will know exactly which players he'll have for his postseason push. And if Golden State is unable to upgrade its roster before the trade deadline, so be it.
"I wouldn't be unhappy," Nelson said before Wednesday's game against Boston. "I think I'm content enough to move ahead with what we have."
That doesn't mean the Warriors have been idle in trade talks, however.
Golden State is still looking to move disgruntled forward Mickael Pietrus, but its parameters remain the same: The Warriors want a rotational player in return, and specifically one without a long-term contract as the team plans to re-sign Monta Ellis and Andris Biedrins this summer.
The Warriors would consider taking on a hefty contract only if it involves adding a top-tier player such as Elton Brand or Jermaine O'Neal, but those scenarios do not appear likely.
If the Warriors do make a move, Nelson does not expect any of his rookies to be in play.
"We like what we did last year in the draft, and the fact that they're not ready to help us this year doesn't mean they're not going to be a big part of our future. They are. We like them very much," Nelson said.
"We're trying to have our cake and eat it, too. We're trying to get in and have those guys get a year under their belt and be contributors next year."
As for Pietrus, who started Wednesday in place of injured Stephen Jackson, Nelson said it wouldn't be a problem if Pietrus remains with the Warriors for the rest of the season.
"That's not easy to coach a guy (who's) not happy and wants to be moved, but I've certainly done it before and I can do it again if nothing works out," he said.
Said Pietrus: "What can I say? I don't have any control of anything. I don't have control of playing time, anything. The only thing I have is when they call my name, be the best for the team."

O.G. Broe wrote:Well with the deadline passing with no deal & Beans out for a while, young players like POB & Wright should see more of a oppourtunity to prove thier worth
$20 says Nelson gives Wright 5 minutes all throughout Biedrins' injury. And O'Bryant will never suit up. Just a hunch.
I've a feeling we'll see Croshere, Harrington, Webber, and even Jackson at center before we see O'Bryant or Wright get an opportunity.

Life in Christian County, Kentucky...
A tobacco barn along the Shaw Ovil Road in Christian County, Kentucky.
Hey Gene:
Great shot! The light is right! I'm planning some Queen Ann's lace close ups with the black dot... soon! Soon is hot and dry in August, some time much later than what I see you have now?
I'm not real sure about when that carrot family weed gets up & out in
these parts?
Thanks mue mucho, ~(:-_))-kfh
We're in Zone 6-b here, and I'll bet you're at least a full zone colder than us. That's probably why your plants are running a little later.
CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.
(Author unknown)
IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.

UPDATE 5/9 - CRPAs Election Guide & Voting Recommendations for 2012
Dear CRPA Member,
Its up to you! In our Republic, the final word is yours, the citizen who casts a ballot. That, of course, means its up to you. If you dont vote, the opposition wins! That is because the opposition will most certainly vote and they are counting on you not voting!
This 2012 Election and Voting Recommendations Guide represents the most comprehensive recommendation of candidates that CRPA has ever undertaken. Many hours of labor have been expended to provide you, the voter, with the information that you need to make a valid pro-gun choice. The information was derived through personal interviews, review of voting records, responses to our new CRPA candidate questionnaire and other reliable information.
The Primary Election June 5, 2012 and the General Election November 6, 2012 are without a doubt, the two most important elections that we will have had in this state in recent memory.The current Legislature is bloated with antigun individuals. The new term limit provision virtually allows non-elected bureaucrats to make laws without fear of reprisal. Your vote can change this ongoing travesty!
What we need in this state is at least a balance within the Assembly and Senate so that a well-reasoned argument can be made with the expectation that it will at least be considered by those entrusted to make laws. That is not what has been going on! The situation is currently so lopsided that the response has been We dont care what you say, we have the votes, and we are going to do it our way! In other words, the progun citizen has not been well represented by the majority of members of this Legislature.
Well, this year they experienced a wake-up call of sorts with the CRPAs aggressive new lobbying program successfully defeating many of their most egregious bills and passing many of the bills that we originated along side our NRA partners.
There are some very key legislative races this year that will make a significant difference in the legislative process and, if successful, restore the political process to one in which you can expect more of a fair shake. These have been taken into consideration in the recommendations presented here.
Please remember that you and I have to approach this election with a single-issue vote if we are going to make any headway along the path of making the sorely needed corrections to the legislative process. We also need solidarity! All of us have to realize that the anti-gunners are not viewing one gun as being better than another; they are after all of them! We can stick our heads in the sand and in effect say oh, theyre just after the semi-autos, or large capacity magazines or some other small segment! That statement, by any name is still just plain nonsense! Their plan of attack is one-pieceat-a-time until all is gone. This is a critical point that must be understood by all of us who care about the Second Amendment, or the First, or the Fourteenth, etc. We have to approach this election with a single-issue vote because, as Charlton Heston so eloquently stated it, The Second Amendment is a first among equals! We must therefore defend it against every attack. So now is one of those times!
In the end It is very much up to you!
CRPA would like rectify a mistake made in the 2012 Election Guide and Voter Recommendations list.
It was noted that Candidate John McLaughlin of AssemblyDistrict 71, was graded with *FTAQ. Mr. McLaughlin submitted his questionnaire on time and received an **A grade from the CRPA. The A grade has been corrected in the 2012 election guide and we truly apologize for the error.
**FTAQ: Indicates that the candidate was sent a CRPA questionnaire and failed to answer the questionnaire. As a result, CRPA was unable to evaluate the candidates position on firearms and hunting-related issues.
* A: Indicates a pro-gun candidate who strongly supports CRPA positions on Second Amendment and hunting-related issues.

With the number of deep keel sailboats,houseboats and the size of powerboats increasing, it's important for marinas and boatyards to have a boat lift powerful enough to handle larger craft. Although he already had a 32-ton Sea-Lift machine, Howard Bean of North Harbor Diesel & Yacht Services in Anacortes, Washington, needed a larger unit. Using specifics provided by Bean, KMI Sea-Lift engineers built a 45-ton Sea-Lift capable of lifting boats up to 65'.
The challenge was designing and building a stronger machine with improved capacity without increasing its overall size. Bean's yard has been organized to accommodate the size of his 32-ton Sea-Lift. To avoid rearranging his whole operation, his new 45-ton unit had to be able to fit within the current lay-out. "We had to have something that conformed to the space requirements of the yard," Bean said. "Boats are getting bigger and I need a machine that can handle that, but it needed to conform to the lay-out of the yard."
Height, length and width of the new Sea-Lift remained true to the original 32-ton model. Instead, significant changes were made to the length of the air bunks that support a boat's hull, from 25' to 30'; to the height to which the machine can raise a vessel, from 5' to 10'; and to the design of the operating platform, a wishbone configuration to accommodate the prow of a boat. Though Bean's machine is not equipped with it, a four-wheel drive option was also added to the new 45-ton model.
Bean is using both of his Sea-Lift machines to launch, haul out and transport vessels of varying sizes and says he's happy with how quickly the process goes. "I'm using my machines in tandem to get more done more efficiently," he said. "My new 45 works great."
The Sea-Lift is a self-propelled hydraulic boat trailer that quickly moves and manages vessels of nearly any shape and size. Its unique design allows the boats to be stored gunnel-to-gunnel, which eliminates wasted space and provides additional profit areas.
Contact Sea-Lift, a division of Krause Manufacturing, 6059 Guide Meridian Rd., Bellingham, WA 98226; Phone Darryl Krause at 800-381-5101; firstname.lastname@example.com; www.sea-lift.com.

Looking for images or info about NCCPA?
Certified PAs are heavily integrated on health care teams in every specialty, according to the 2017 Statistical Report of Certified Physician Assistants by Specialty. This report highlights the movement of PAs into complex practice areas.
For the fifth straight year, the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA), has published PA workforce data — the most comprehensive statistical report on PAs nationwide, with over 91% of certified PAs providing input.
The 2017 Statistical Report of Certified Physician Assistants points to seismic shifts in PA practice.
As chair of the Board of Directors of the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA), and as a certified PA for more than 30 years, I read with great interest your February 2018 article: "Will You See an Actual Doctor the Next Time You Go to the Doctor?"
In February, the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) announced that it had engaged the RAND Corporation to study and compare recertification requirements in the U.S. and abroad. NCCPA supports best practices in certification and certification maintenance, and welcomes any study that adds to our extensive body of research.
A just-published report gives detailed information on Certified PAs from each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure to create an opening through the neck into the trachea (windpipe). A tube is usually placed through this opening to provide an airway and to remove secretions from the lungs. This tube is called a tracheostomy tube or trach tube.
The neck is cleaned and draped. Surgical cuts are made toshow the tough cartilage rings that form the outer wall of the trachea. The surgeon creates an opening into the trachea and inserts a tracheostomy tube.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
A tracheostomy may be done if you have:
- A large object blocking the airway
- An inability to breathe on your own
- An inherited abnormality of the larynx or trachea
- Breathed in harmful material such as smoke, steam, or other toxic gases that swell and block the airway
- Cancer of the neck, which can affect breathing by pressing on the airway
Paralysisof the muscles that affect swallowing
- Severe neck or mouth injuries
- Surgery around the voicebox (larynx) that prevents normal breathing and swallowing
The risks for any anesthesia are:
- Problems breathing
- Reactions to medications, including heart attack and stroke
The risks for any surgery are:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Nerve injury, including paralysis
- Scarring
Other risks include:
- Damage to the thyroid gland
Erosionof the trachea (rare)
- Puncture of the lung and lung collapse
- Scar tissue in the trachea that causes pain or trouble breathing
After the Procedure
If the tracheostomy is temporary, the tube will eventually be removed. Healing will occur quickly, leaving a minimal scar. Sometimes, a surgical procedure may be needed to close the site (stoma).
Occasionally a stricture, or tightening of the trachea may develop, which may affect breathing.
If the tracheostomy tube is permanent, the hole remains open.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most patients need 1 to 3 days to adapt to breathing through a tracheostomy tube. It will take some time to learn how to communicate with others. At first, it may be impossible for the patient to talk or make sounds.
After training and practice, most patients can learn to talk with a tracheostomy tube. Patients or family members learn how to take care of the tracheostomy during the hospital stay. Home-care service may also be available.
You should be able to go back to your normal lifestyle. When you are outside, you can wear a loose covering (a scarf or other protection) over the tracheostomy stoma (hole). Use safety precautions when you are exposed to water, aerosols, powder, or food particles.

((((((Hugs to All)))))) ~
On Friday morning when I went on my walk, I noticed 4-5 boxes of Jons supplies on our porch. They were there, when I returned 30 minutes later.
Jim was unwell and had to go to bed. Jon was asleep, after he had 1 mg Ativan at 3 a.m., since hed been awake for 36 hours and had only had 2 hours of sleep in 2 days. He ended up sleeping for 17 hours. I was busy caring for them and didnt have a chance to bring in the boxes.
A couple of hours later, I heard a delivery at our front door. So, I peeked out to see what it was.
Jons boxes of supplies were gone!
Fed Ex had left a box of oranges (we order them on line for fresh juice). But Jons supplies were gone.
I called Fed Ex to ask whether the driver had inadvertently picked up Jons supplies. Still havent heard back.
I called the person in charge of sending our supplies to ask for the vendor and tracking numbers of the packages. I had to leave a message, because its a holiday, and people have the day off.
Finally, I realized that Jons supplies were most likely stolen. Friday is our usual trash pick up day, and people often drive up and down our streets looking for cast offs and recyclables. Its possible that they were also looking for packages on porches, since it is the holiday season. Maybe they thought that Jons supplies were Christmas gifts or something useful for them. Perhaps they couldnt read, or didnt recognize the name MedLine on the boxes. Perhaps they need colostomy bags, suctioning supplies, and 100 ml bottles of saline for catheter irrigation and suctioning traches. But probably not.
However, Jon desperately needs all of those supplies right now, because he is out of them. His urine output is very slow, and he needs an irrigation of his cath. Hes congested from fluid retention and needs suctioning. But we have no sterile saline.
As long as he doesnt have a bowel movement, hes okay without those colostomy bags. But he needs a BM desperately, and were planning to give him more MOM tomorrow.
Stealing packages off of homeowners' porches is terrible, but stealing medical supplies from a man, who needs them to survive, is despicable.
Im furious. And helpless.
The amount of deliveries weve had to our front door over 40 years is mind boggling. This has never happened before. Its not just disheartening. It jeopardizes Jons health.
It sure has put a damper on the holiday spirit in our home.
Love & Light,

NORTH MANCHESTER, IND. -- Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology senior Ryan Landwehr (Tipp City, Ohio/Tippecanoe) and sophomore Aaron Abbott (Lebanon, Ohio) hooked up on two long touchdown passes, and the defense forced three turnovers to help the Fightin' Engineers top Manchester University 44-30 on Saturday.
Landwehr finished 20-33 through the air for 298 yards and three touchdowns, with Abbott recording nine catches for 181 yards and two scores to pace an effort that generated 470 total yards of offense. Landwehr played a direct hand in all five offensive touchdowns, with three passing and two rushing scores.
Senior Danya Francis (Kissimmee, Fla./Celebration) rushed for 75 yards on 18 carries to lead the ground attack, with Landwehr adding 42 yards. Landwehr and Abbott connected on touchdown strikes of 59 yards in the first half and 58 yards in the second.
Defensively, senior Craig Voges (Huntingburg/Forest Park) returned a fumbled punt for a touchdown and tied for team-high honors with nine tackles. Freshman Kevin Nowak (Naperville, Ill./Central) had nine tackles and an interception, with senior Cody Rivers (Coconut Creek, Fla./Monarch) pitching in eight tackles and an interception. Senior T.J. Chin (Morehead, Ky./Rowan County) also had nine tackles.
Manchester scored 11 straight points to earn a 30-27 lead late in the third quarter. Riley Ellington kicked a 32-yard field goal at the 9:34 mark, then the Spartans marched 12 plays to gain the lead on a nine-yard run by Austin Adams. Manchester added the two-point conversion for the three-point lead.
Rose-Hulman answered in just two plays to regain the lead at 34-30 late in the third quarter. Freshman Sterling Mitchell (Indianapolis/Brebeuf) returned the Manchester kickoff 40 yards, then Landwehr and Abbott hit on a 58-yard touchdown strike on the next play to put the Fightin' Engineers back in front.
The lead increased to 37-30 on Rose-Hulman's first full drive of the fourth quarter. The seven-play, 26-yard drive ended with a 27-yard field goal by Angel with 10:37 left in the game.
Rose-Hulman used one more scoring drive to clinch the victory. Landwehr and Abbott made a 26-yard connection, then Francis sprinted 21 yards on third down to the one-yard line. Landwehr finished the drive with a one-yard run to push the lead to 44-30 with 1:32 left.
Early in the contest, Manchester took a 6-0 lead with a touchdown drive on its opening drive. Nick Williams completed an 11-play, 63-yard march with an 11-yard scoring run. Rose-Hulman sophomore Chris Sander (Baileyville, Ill./Forreston) blocked the extra point to keep the margin at six points.
Later in the first quarter, Landwehr connected with Abbott on a 59-yard scoring strike on the first play of a drive. Senior Matt Angel (Cassville, Mo.) booted the extra point to give Rose-Hulman a 7-6 lead with 3:05 left in the opening quarter.
Manchester regained the lead at 13-7 on its first possession of the second quarter. The Spartans earned a first down on a fourth down pass interference penalty to keep the drive alive, then Williams hit Michael Love on a 24-yard scoring strike to put the Spartans ahead with 11:29 left in the first half.
Rose-Hulman answered on its next possession to regain a 14-13 lead. The 19-play, 76-yard march included a 20-yard pass from Landwehr to sophomore Jacob Dye (Tipton) and a fourth down holding penalty. Landwehr capped the drive with a four-yard touchdown run at the 6:09 mark.
The lead reached 20-13 after the Rose-Hulman special teams came through for a score. Manchester fumbled a punt by senior Eric Schaible (Findlay, Ohio), which Voges returned for a touchdown with 3:08 left in the first half.
The Fightin' Engineer defense set up Rose-Hulman's next score that pushed the lead to 27-19. Rivers snagged an interception at the Manchester 32-yard line, and Landwehr connected with senior Connor Gerhart (La Mesa, Calif./LaJolla Country Day) four plays later for a 12-yard touchdown.
Rose-Hulman improved to 2-2 on the season and 2-0 in HCAC play with the victory, while Manchester dropped to 0-4 and 0-2 in league games. The Fightin' Engineers host Hanover College next Saturday.

text: Procurement Pulse - April 2017 Procurement Pulse Series Share this 6 APR 2017 By: Dr Sharon Fitzgerald Gavin Deeprose Louise Huson Breach of the procurement rules raises the difficult dilemma of providing sufficient information to disaffected bidders to ensure that the playing field is as level as possible in terms of the information they have available to them should they wish to challenge the legality of a procurement process, whilst maintaining the integrity of confidential information. The Bombardier case below heralds publication of guidance from the Technology and Construction Court (TCC) on how to balance open justice on the one hand and confidentiality on the other in public procurement cases. We also look at refined guidance on the tests for satisfying standing in judicial review of public procurement procedures, and rare commentary on the meaning of the words "clarify, specify or fine tune" in the context of competitive dialogue in the Public Contracts Regulations, 2006 (PCR'06) - now "clarified, specified and optimised" in PCR'15. In the Ingsteel case (below), the Advocate General has advised the court that requiring bidders to provide proof of their economic standing with a statement from a bank that it would provide credit during the entire contract period is compatible with Directive 2004/18/EC. We will track the court's final decision in the case for a future edition of Procurement Pulse. TCC approach to confidential information in public procurement claims To date the Technology and Construction Court has marked all public procurement claims as "private", meaning that access to the court file is routinely denied. This was brought to the attention of Mr Justice Coulson in connection with the Bombardier case. Concerned that this approach does not properly address the "balance to be achieved between open justice and confidentiality", he stressed that the starting presumption should be for all documents to be made publicly available unless there are legitimate commercial interests which would be prejudiced by disclosure - and that redaction is preferable to claiming confidentiality over an entire document. As regards procurement documentation, he noted that by the time a challenge to the legitimacy of an evaluation process has been issued in the courts, 'a contracting authority cannot hope to argue there is any sort of confidentiality in the procurement documentation setting out information such as the evaluation regime'. The judge set out paragraphs 27-31 of the soon to be published TCC "Guidance Note on Procedures for Public Procurement Cases" (currently awaiting approval from the Master of the Rolls), excerpts from which are set out below: "27. Public procurement claims frequently involve the disclosure of, and reliance upon, confidential information. Confidentiality is not a bar to disclosure. However, the need to protect confidential information needs to be balanced by the basic principle of open justice. Managing the use of confidential information in the proceedings tends to increase both the cost and complexity of the litigation. The Court will seek to manage the proceedings so that confidentiality is protected where genuinely necessary but ensuring that the issue of confidentiality does not give rise to unnecessary cost or complexity. Assertions of confidentiality should only be made where properly warranted. 28. Once a case has been allocated to a particular TCC judge, papers and communications, particularly those which are to be treated as confidential, should generally be passed through the relevant Judge's Clerk to limit the risk of inadvertent disclosure. 29. Papers delivered to and communications with the Court and the Judge's Clerk should be marked as "Confidential" if they are confidential. 30. It is recommended that documents containing confidential material are provided on coloured paper so that their confidential status is immediately apparent … Where relevant, the level of confidentiality should be identified either by a stamp or mark (e.g. "Confidential 1st Tier") or by a particular colour of paper. [the use of "Tiers" in confidentiality rings will be set out in paragraphs 41-42 of the Guidance.] 31. Where necessary to protect confidential information the Court may, if requested, make an order restricting inspection of the Court files. Requests to restrict inspection should only be made where necessary...." Bombardier Transportation Limited v Merseytravel [2017] EWHC 575 Proactive release of information post contract award Disclosure of information after a public contract has been entered into is a key facet of the Government's commitment to public access to information on services delivery. This PPN updates PPN13/15, and applies not only to central government departments, but also to its suppliers (whether from the public, private, voluntary or community sectors). Those organisations must "proactively" release information about performance, through "Transparency" areas of their own websites, and publishing in accordance with open data principles. The PPN acknowledges exemptions to disclosure set out in the Freedom of Information Act, 2000 and mutually agreed confidentiality clauses, and reminds in scope organisations that eg the mechanism for arriving at the price charged to government may be exempt, but that does not constitute grounds for withholding the contract value itself. Good practice requires public and private sector parties to discuss, before contract award, the types of procurement and contract information which can be disclosed to the public, and ensure subsequent publication of that information in an accessible format. PPN 01/17 The transparency of suppliers and government to the public Standing for judicial review of procurement related acts Although very similar on the facts - local residents objecting to a town centre development (varied to reflect changing economic conditions) - the court did not follow the Gottlieb case, on the tests for allowing those who are not "economic operators" (and therefore have no remedy pursuant to PCR'06), to judicially review public procurement decisions. The court was clear that in determining "sufficient interest" to bring judicial review proceedings, a person's rights and interests must be considered in the context of, "the purpose of relevant legislation , its aims and objectives", and that where there is a "gulf" between the interests of the claimants and the policy and purpose of the legislation, then an application for judicial review of a decision impacted by that legislation will not be supported by the courts. In a procurement related application, a claimant must be able to demonstrate a direct impact upon them which would arise from the conduct of a competitive tendering exercise. In this case, a VEAT notice had been issued by Waverley Borough Council to put the market on notice that the value of land to be purchased by the developer for the purposes of the scheme was to be reduced, along with adjustments to the developer's profit element. As the court pointed out, if a full competitive tender was advertised for the revised contract (rather than just a VEAT notice), it would still have the effect of facilitating the scheme - which the claimants opposed primarily on grounds that it was inappropriate in scale and harmful to the historic environment. The claimants were therefore unable to demonstrate any direct impact upon them which would arise from Waverley Borough Council's conduct of its tendering exercise, and were not entitled to bring proceedings for judicial review. David Wylde and others v Waverley Borough Council [2017] EWHC 466 Evidence of economic and financial standing may be required throughout the contract period (Advocate General Opinion) The Slovak Football Association (SFA) advertised a contract to modernise 16 football stadiums. Candidates were required to provide a< statement from a bank confirming the grant of credit of EURO 3 million for the contract period. Instead, Ingsteel confirmed that for the duration of the contract it would have EURO 3 million in its bank account. Ingsteel was excluded from the procurement process. The referring court queried the time to which proof of economic standing must relate. Referring by analogy to the rules on relying on the capacity of other entities, the Advocate General opined that Directive 2004/18 did not preclude the SFA's approach to economic selection criteria - "When financial or economic resources are concerned, it is reasonable that these should not be ephemeral but should last until the contractual obligations have been performed." Case C-76/16 Ingsteel v Urad pre verejne obstaravanie "Clarify, specify or fine tune" At the end of the dialogue phase in a competitive dialogue procedure, certain elements of a payment mechanism had yet to be finalised. The version sent out with the invitation to submit final tenders included indexation and profit share provisions, and required tenderers to complete blank spaces in the text. Mistakenly, this version of the document was included in the final contract, not the version completed and submitted by Viridor with its final tender. In the course of defending a claim for rectification of the contract, it was argued that the procuring authority breached PCR'06 by failing to agree by the end of the dialogue phase the precise profit share and approach to indexation. These issues went beyond the right to "clarify, specify or fine tune" aspects of final tenders, as set out in regulation 18(26) of PCR'06. The judge disagreed - "Competitive dialogue is a process which seeks to narrow the points in issue, so that the remaining tenderers can then return a final tender on a common basis. Ordinarily following a competitive dialogue, the principal differences between the tenders will simply be the figures… The only thing that the claimant had to avoid was treating [tenderers] differently. That is the reason for the qualification in Regulation 18(26) ("likely to distort competition or have a discriminatory effect")." Milton Keynes v Viridor (Community Recycling MK) Limited [2017] EWHC 239 (TCC)

Finally, here they are ... my top 10 movies of 2013:
(7) Ender's Game - I didn't want to like this. I wasn't even sure I was going to go because of my deep disagreement with Orson Scott Card's personal politics. But ultimately, the book and the movie stand on their own. And Card had no involvement in the movie. The filmmakers do a great job of distilling the main points of the book into a more manageable time frame. And the young leads: Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) and Abigail Breslin are well-cast. The training battle scenes are how I envisioned them when reading the book.
(5) Sound City - Former Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl made this documentary about the famous LA studio that produced many of the classic rock albums of the 70's, 80's, and 90's including Nirvana's Nevermind and Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. I wrote a bit more about it here.
(2) Rush - I wrote fairly extensively about this here. A movie about racing, but not really. Rush is more about the things that motivate us in our lives. Sometimes they are external, but often they are internal.
Honorable Mention: A few indies: Upstream Color, Prince Avalanche, Drinking Buddies, Side Effects and The Europa Report. Some big budget films that were good ... just not quite good enough: The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug, Gravity and Pacific Rim.

Post subject: Slow Bacon
The slow-cooking result can be achieved on a griddle pan, if your stove is capable of very low flames. The bacon melts (as it does in the oven) as it cooks; there is no sizzling. The process takes at least two hours and requires minimal attention. As the bacon finishes, whip up some pancake batter and keep the bacon warm in a slow oven while the pancakes cook.

Post subject: Another alternative way to microwave bacon
My oldest set of twins had a most unusual way of cooking bacon in the microwave. They would wrap however many slices of bacon up in a bunch of paper towels, then nuke. It would be at least 6 layers, top and bottom.
Did I mention that my consumption of paper products has gone down to a third of what it is (paper towels, TP!) since those two joined the Army and moved out? That was one third of the family using two thirds of the paper products.
It's the Army's problem now. Skin_Colorz_PDT_01

Post subject: Microwave gadgets
The gadget may work better with a full rack than with just two strips. The additional strips would absorb more of the energy. The bacon would cook much slower. It works the same when cooking bacon in paper towels in the microwave. I have found that some bacon cooks much faster. There are differences from one package to another, and with the age of the bacon. The rack should make it easy to tell when it is done the way you like it.
Since this is an engineers cooking site, I will suggest another approach: Connect a clip to each end of a strip and measure its resistance. As the moisture leaves, resistance should increase. This could be used to make an automatic slow cooker, using a large light bulb for heat in an insulated box. Unless you use stainless steel clips, you would sacrifice one strip.
There was a device sold in the 70's that heated a hot dog by inserting sharp metal points into it and running straight house current through it for about a minute. It tasted awful, and there was no browning. Slow oven cooking creates taste.

Post subject: One thing to consider about the grill method...
You said the grease dripped down and there was nothing to clean up...
That may be true for 3 strips, but if you cook a full package, the grease will build up in the bottom of your grill and eventually run out the bottom (if you gave a gas grill)... theres supposed to be a little bucket to collect this (comes with most grill kits) but I dont know many guys who bothered to put it on.
I dont cook much with charcoal, but I suspect that the grease would end up mixing with the ash and make for a fun cleaning job as well.
Personally, I like it on the griddle... theres no better way as far as I'm concerned. Though, I am intrigued, I think I'm going to have to try it.

Post subject: bacon - now with real meat :)
Yeah... US bacon seems to be like "streaky bacon" in the UK, only with a vastly higher fat content - the pictures in the article seem to me to show well over 50% fat, and I remember looking for (and failing to find) bacon with a reasonable amount of meat when I last visited the States.
Here in the UK we also get "Back bacon", which has much more meat. Maybe it's just the USA that is bacon-poor? I've had decent bacon in NZ and Europe.
Excellent site, by the way. I like the logical layout of the recipies.

Post subject: Bacon on a George Foreman grill
I have an imitation George Foreman (iGF) grill (it has most of the
same features, just not the brand name or price tag) and I recently tried
cooking some bacon on it.
The result was probably the best bacon I've ever cooked.
Thats not really saying a lot. After reading this article I learned that
I've probably been doing it wrong all these years. (cooking it over too
high heat )
I did two batches of bacon on my iGF.
The first batch I started with the grill cold. I layed out as many slices
as I could fit comfortably. Then I closed the lid and plugged it in.
I started checking it for done-ness by eyeball after about 4 minutes.
By 5 or 6 minutes total cooking time, the bacon was done.
For the second batch I just put more raw bacon on the already hot iGF.
The cooking time was reduced a bit. Other than that, the results were
pretty much the same.
The bacon came out wonderfully tender crispy (personally I can't stand
chewy bacon) without being over cooked. Since it's constrained by the
grill while cooking it comes out nicely flat. Due to the nature of the
grill, the grease drains away while cooking so the bacon isn't greasy.
Lastly, since the system is closed while cooking, there is little
opportunity for splatter.
On my particular grill, cleanup is a Pain In The Posterior. It doesn't
disassemble at all. Being an electric appliance I can't just toss it into
a sink of hot water. There are other, more expensive, models with
removable cooking surfaces which are dishwasher safe.
Overall, I'd say using an electric clamshell style grill to cook bacon
works very well. I wouldn't recommend running out to buy one JUST
to cook bacon. If you do run out to buy one, choose wisely. Consider cleanup.

Post subject: Making bacon
Thank you so much for your amusing and insightful article on preparing bacon. I need about 40 slices for a brunch this weekend and I was all set to prepare them in a pan/skillet. I'm going the oven route now - thanks! This will make my event so much easier to pull off.

Post subject: The Kentuckians way to cook bacon
First you gotta have good bacon. Not the watery mess sold in the grocery stores these days. You want real hickory cured bacon that has had salt rubbed in it to cure it.
Now this is mighty hard to come by these days so you may have to find some farmers or backcountry smokehouse folks who will sell it to you. My favorite was in the next town over and they would take me into the smoking rooms and open a door to a smoker. There would be a small pile of hickory sawdust smoldering on the floor and hanging above were many slabs of sow belly.
I would ask the curing man to pull me down one he thought was best and he generally would get me a nice on. I never had it sliced by them but just took the whole slad wrapped in paper home. It was strong enough that the whole pickup would smell like hickory smoke.
Now to cook it. I would take a real real sharp butcher knife and cut a slice bout 1/8 inch thick or maybe a bit thicker. You never never want thin bacon. I would either cut on thru the rind (outer skin) , then slice that off later or fillet about 2 inches with the flat of the knife along the top of the rind.
Next goes some pure lard into the 8 or 9 inch cast iron skillet. This skillet must NEVER be touched by women's hands. They will ruin it with soap and remove the seasoning. Never let them touch it and it will never stick, long as you clean it right afterwards.
Bring the lard up to heat and put the bacon in the pan. If your temperature is just right and enough lard(to just cover the bacon) it will never pop or splatter and also because all the liquid in it has been cured out!!
This bacon will not shrink either. What goes in the skillet is the same size as what comes out. You then look for when the fat parts of the bacon tend to get done. Its a judgement call anyway and you will learn. You then put it on a platter on top of some folded paper towels and then another to pat the top. This removes the extra grease and results in a certain brittleness. No chewieness. Don't want that. I like mine to be at the point where I can snap it in two. Not burned either. Just right is what I want.
You will also notice that with this good bacon that there will be NOTHING sticking to the bottom of the skillet. What that is with normal bacon is the carbon from the sugar burning. You don't want that either. No sugar cured bacon. No sir.
Now the hard part. No a lot of folks can eat this type of old fashioned bacon. It may be a bit too salty for them or too smoky. But once you get to like it you won't be able to live without it. City bacon will just not work for you anymore.
Now with the bacon grease in the skillet you can do many things. You never dispose of it. You first can fry you some eggs. Over easy or sunnyside up. Let the grease cool down a bit. Use a spoon or metal spatula to flip grease onto the top of the egg and it will cook perfectly. Put it on a plate and pat with a paper towel then pepper it.
The leftover bacon drippings(grease) can be used to season a lot of vegetables or to make cornbread with(also in the skillet). You can season turnip greens with it or collards or whatever. Green beans too. You can also put it in a qt. mason jar and save it in the icebox.
BTW making good cornbread is a lost art. Its getting just the right amount in the skillet, no sugar and no flour. Just bacon drippings, Martha White cornmeal(white only) and one egg and some milk. Got to have just the right amount of milk. When baked if too thick won't taste right nor if too thin. Let it bake a tad too long and its coarse. Get everything just exactly right and you will eat the whole pan full. Save some to crumble in a glass of buttermilk with salt and pepper on the top. Heaven. I mean heaven.
I can cook up a pot of white beans with a ham shank and a pan of cornbread and some fried potatoes and I am back on the farm. Well I still live on the farm but you know what I mean.
Round here if you go to the church fellowship dinners you will get the best food you ever ate. This is cooked by older farm wives the old fashioned way.
This is the way I have cooked bacon all my life.
To clean the skillet after pouring off the drippings. Hold it under the cold water faucet and wipe with a paper towel. It will have a slight sheen of animal fat on the surface. Put it in your over to store it. I keep all my cast irons skillets there. For just myself I use a little skillet. Maybe 5 inches or so.
With the white beans and cornbread you got to have a good white onion or Valdia onion. Can't never get too much black pepper on white beans, some say.
Again I must say. Don't try this with city bacon. Not the same.
Now that many of the local smokehouse folks are out of business I am considering building one myself. A small metal one out back. My friend made one and it was easy. Got the plans out of Mother Earth some time back.

Post subject: Bacon Tests part II
I agree that oven baking produces the best texture and flavor. Many restaurants bake bacon, both for taste and because you can cook enough to feed a crowd without taking up all your skillets.
The slower bacon is cooked, the more flavorful it is. However, as a compromise between flavor and speed, I find that a medium oven works well. My method is to stack the bacon in two-strip piles in a cold, ungreased pan, put in a cold oven and turn the oven to 350 F (gas mark 4ish). Depending on the thickness of your bacon and how crispy you like it, it is cooked in about 15 minutes, and it renders enough fat out so you have a respectable amount of dripping for later use. If you like very well-done bacon, you should remember that baked bacon does continue to cook for about a minute after it's removed from the heat--so take it out a little early to avoid a charred mess.
I miss British bacon. On the other hand, since I save bacon drippings for other uses, there's not that much waste from American streaky bacon. Just have to cook more slices to make a decent sandwich.

Definitely. I live in Pennsylvania and get mine from an Amish farmer who still makes REAL bacon.

Now this I have to disagree with. My HUSBAND is the one who would have the cast-iron skillet soaking in a sink of double-strength detergent, not me. He actually tried to run my good cornbread skillet through the dishwasher! I would almost call that grounds for divorce....

Post subject: local source for good bacon
My local Whole Foods Supermarket has the best readily available bacon that I have found. It is thick cut, smoked nicely, not too fatty, and supposedly nitrate free (or at least ADDED nitrate free.) It does have a rather short shelf life, so don't buy too much unless you plan on cooking it soon thereafter. I guess you could try freezing it but I prefer to have it as fresh as possible. The meat cutter/butcher usually has some in the case, but the Whole Foods gourmet thick cut pre-packed is just as good.

Post subject: Canadian Bacon
Canadian and Australian bacon[s] were mentioned in some of the messages. In that regard, we'd like to recommend one, a Canadian bacon. It's called "Peameal bacon" or "Real Canadian Bacon"--possibly because what is generally sold in the U.S.A. as Canadian bacon isn't the real thing. It's more like round ham lunchmeat; real Canadian bacon is oval and entirely different in taste. We highly--highly--recommend it.
The Real Canadian Bacon Co. can be reached at either the following web site:
or by phone at 1-888-BACON-01 and it is a uniquely delicious product (fantastic for bacon/lettuce/tomato sandwiches).[/url]

In the modern and contemporary decorating ideas we can using one pieces of furniture in two different uses, i provide 7 pieces of furniture in two different roles, new ideas to using one furniture pieces in two uses and i suggest smart furniture pieces to using it two uses in your home
|smart furniture pieces two ways using and roles
How often do you look at the furniture, "a different angle" than it is accepted? For example, some objects can be arranged not only vertically, but also horizontally. What is usually placed alongside - alienate some distance. Console table - into a toilet or into the ground to sink in the bathroom, and a cart for the dining room - the room used for crafts ...
Organizing your home with the best storage furniture
All we have listed - not abstract reasoning, and real examples of using the same furniture for different purposes - as you both necessary and desirable. Imagine: furniture fills that role that you have identified her as a director of interior (and not just the one that conceived the manufacturer)!
Want to see examples of a change in the reference line of furniture that can be found in most stores (such as IKEA)? Meet our next release on the topic, and then look at other similar guidance, references at the end of the publication!
Transforming Furniture for small apartments 2015
Transforming Furniture for small apartments 2015
a narrow high rack
model is similar to IKEA, called "expedition": Height 185, width 44, depth 39.
Option number 1 (for every room) it is placed vertically, great for storing small items in a small room.
Option number 2 (hallway, bedroom or nursery) put shelf horizontally, attach the wheels from the bottom, top decompose pillows - and now ready to settle for a hallway, in the compartments where you can place your shoes and baskets for details. In the bedroom or children's room can accommodate a bench by the window - you will get a convenient and compact sofa.
pair of lower shelf it
to implement any of the two options need shelving height 70-75 cm (IKEA that model "Borgshe") only if the first - to 95 cm in height.
Option number 1 (for the living room or dining room) are located side by side, they can replace the traditional chest of drawers for jewelry hang the mirror above the shelves and a pair of wall sconces.
Option number 2 (for a home office or craft room): shelves, set at a distance from each other, will be the basis desktop with roomy compartments for storage. These finished products are found in stores is rare, and you have the opportunity to make this furniture with his own hands.
Thus, you need two rack height of 70-75 cm and a width of 50-80 cm (depending on what section dimensions are optimal for your work room) + worktop desired size (which may be wider than racks).
Original storage shelves unit
bright shelves
That - quite simply, the best fit shelves 5 cm or more (from the cellular material), such as "LAK" from IKEA.
Option number 1 (for hallway or closet) to suspend the lower surface of the shelf hooks and rails - it will increase the storage space of 2 times.
Option number 2 (for a nursery or home office): put all the details in the boxes, and then to place them on the shelves, some shelves decorate the little things dear to his heart or toys.
Original racks and shelves in the interior
The console table
compact little thing with no small stories, but very comfortable and in our days. Typically used for the spacious hallways, dining rooms or walk-through areas in the house.
Option number 1 (the standard for a console table) where possible.
Option number 2 (console as the "Bureau"), set on the countertop shelving unit suitable size and add a chair.
Option number 3 (not shown here, but the solution - an interesting, console table as a toilet) reinforce the edge of the table top mirror or hang it over a table, shelf module - on request.
And like the reincarnation you can create a table with a laptop that looks like a console table. This is a replica on a romantic century, when the young lady had a table-desk. For example, in IKEA is a graceful model, "Isala" and "Leskvik", a width of 45-50 cm This furniture can be transformed in a console table in the hallway and dressing table.
Luxury console table for modern interior
a long wooden table
is quite possible, inherited from her grandmother - strong, with a wonderful texture and a touch of inspirational "stories."
Option number one (pictured) for a spacious wardrobe.
Option number 2 as the basis for a family of two basins.
Serving buffet trolley
may have to look for a similar model, but it is really to make with their own hands - from a compact cabinet, countertop and wheels.
Option number 1 (for the dining room and kitchen) can be attached to the door of the envelopes for the recipes or the board for records of cork inside - to keep the dishes.
Option number 2: excellent mobile solution for the room craftswomen, in some of the items can be stored in boxes.
high sideboard with drawers
It's likely you already occurred such an idea regarding the old buffet: it can be placed in another room.
Option number 1: buffet in their traditional role.
Option number 2, the same furniture moved into a spacious bathroom and now is used for storage of bath accessories and household products.

Construction Services: Background
The construction services industry, which includes architects and architectural firms, surveyors and engineers, contributed more than $15.9 million to federal campaigns and parties during the 2014 election cycle.
Although a generous supporter of both Republican and Democratic candidates throughout the past decade, the industry was split on political giving to both parties during the 2014 election cycle. The industry supported the federal financial stimulus bill, which promised more work for its members.
Key players in the construction services industry include the American Council of Engineering Companies, CH2M Hill and AECOM Technology Corp.
The industry supports increased investment in national infrastructure, a major component of the stimulus bill -- since most government improvement projects require the expertise of private architects and engineers -- and has urged Congress in recent years to update the nation's water and wastewater systems, repair aging highways and renew airport improvement projects. The industry has also pushed to ease restrictions on designs and improve elementary math and science education to train future workers.
The construction services industry spent almost $11.8 million lobbying at the federal level in 2014, with the American Council of Engineering Companies, AECOM Global and the American Institute of Architects leading the way.

GP Press Release Apr16 2009
Brooklyn, N.Y. – Long Island University has named John Darnton curator of the George Polk Awards in Journalism, effective September 1, 2009. The appointment was announced at the annual George Polk Awards Luncheon, which was held at the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan on April 16, 2009. Mr. Darnton, who has received two George Polk Awards and a Pulitzer Prize in recognition of his outstanding work in the field of journalism, will succeed Sidney Offit, who has served as curator for 32 years and will become curator emeritus.
Now in their 60th year, the Polk Awards were established by the University in 1949 to memorialize George Polk, a CBS reporter who was killed while covering a civil war in Greece. And John Darnton is uniquely qualified to lead the Awards into a new era.
"At a time when America's newspapers are in freefall and investigative journalism is, therefore, at risk, John Darnton is the ideal choice to provide leadership for the Polk Awards," said Dr. David J. Steinberg, president of Long Island University. "The son of a war correspondent who was killed in the line of duty, investigative journalism is part of his pedigree, and excellence and integrity are the hallmarks of his illustrious career."
Mr. Darnton's journalistic career has spanned more than four decades—all with a single employer, The New York Times. He joined the paper as a copy boy in 1966 and was promoted to city staff reporter two years later. After producing award-winning coverage of the fiscal crisis at City Hall, he received his first overseas assignment, which took him to West Africa.
After 13 months in Nigeria, Mr. Darnton was thrown in jail and deported for articles that displeased the military government. He went on to cover the civil war in Rhodesia, the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa and the fall of Idi Amin in Uganda, winning his first George Polk award for foreign reporting in 1979.
His next assignment brought him to Eastern Europe, where he served as Warsaw bureau chief and covered the rise of the Solidarity movement and the imposition of martial law. For his coverage, including dispatches smuggled out of the country during a communications black-out, Mr. Darnton was awarded a second George Polk Award and the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting.
After serving as Madrid bureau chief and filing reports across Europe and the Middle East, he returned to New York as deputy foreign editor. Mr. Darnton then served as metropolitan editor and news editor/weekends before accepting the position of London bureau chief in 1992. Four years later, he returned from London to become culture editor, a post he held for six years. Mr. Darnton now serves as editorial director for special projects.
He is also a novelist with five books to his credit: the best sellers, "Neanderthal" and "The Experiment"; "Mind Catcher"; "The Darwin Conspiracy"; and "Black and White and Dead All Over." He is currently at work on a nonfiction book about his father, the newspaper world of the 1920s and '30s, and his own career.
"I'm honored by this appointment. The George Polk Award has a long and prestigious tradition and is highly regarded by journalists, including those in the dwindling cadre of foreign correspondents," said Mr. Darnton. "We hope to use the award program to help tackle the crisis in American newspapers."
Mr. Darnton, who attended Phillips Academy Andover, holds a diploma from the Searing School; a language diploma from Alliance Francaise in Paris, France; and a B.S. in experimental psychology from the University of Wisconsin.
About The George Polk Awards in Journalism
The George Polk Awards, conferred annually in recognition of special achievement in journalism, were established by Long Island University after Polk's death in 1948. Polk, a CBS correspondent, was murdered during a Greek civil war while trying to reach the guerrilla leader Markos Vafiades for an interview. Some of the most respected names in journalism have won George Polk Awards including Christiane Amanpour, Peter Jennings, Ted Koppel, Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow. The Awards are presented each spring at a luncheon in Manhattan attended by news executives, journalists, educators and students. The ceremonies are preceded the night before by the Polk Seminar, which features a panel of winners discussing relevant topics in journalism.

And now, the 2014 word of the year: "AND" - January 27th, 2014
� � � � � In the last column of 2011 and the second one of 2012, I emphasized a concept which I believed was central not only to job searching and career development, but to self-development as well: self-definition, creating an identity – solely yours – based on as many elements and � dimensions as possible. The idea is to fashion yourself into someone that only you can say you are, to make yourself unique, and to give yourself a competitive advantage based on your uniqueness.
� � � � � � � � � � � Well, it's two years later, and now, what was a pretty good assumption has become a widely accepted fact. �I believed it then; I know it now. It has become the prevailing condition of the beginning of the 21st century – and I don't see it changing in the future. Certainly it won't revert; it will most probably intensify. Over the decades there are natural cycles in life and work: post WWII rewarded those with vision; the sixties, rebellion and entrepreneurship; the seventies and eighties, conformity; and the nineties, enterprise. And now the 21st century demands – and will reward – self-definition. This is different from rebellion; many can rebel together. This is about being unique.
� � � � � � � � � � � Which brings us to today's point. You're going to be unique by bringing added value, not different value, to an organization: "added" meaning something (or more than one thing) over and above what you already have. The job recovery that has brought back many of the jobs lost during the Great Recession (most of the private sector jobs, while government payrolls have shrunk) has taken an interesting form.
� � � � � � � � � � � You can't just be a nurse or a teacher or a bank manager or anything else that millions of others also can claim they are. You have to be special at it, like being bilingual or even multi-lingual, teaching a specialty, or doing specialized training and mentoring alongside your job. This �involves the concept of "AND" rather than "but" or "instead of" or anything else like that.
� � � � � � � � � � � For instance, Mike, who was laid off from his job as a shift supervisor in a manufacturing plant, has taken specific courses in metal fabrication – a new skill for him – and recently landed a new job as an assistant plant manager (a step up) at a company that does high-precision manufacturing (another step up). Mike has manufacturing experience AND shift supervision AND his new skill. AND a better job.
� � � � � � � � � � � Kerry is a registered nurse with 15 years' experience and a MSN degree. Three years ago, not facing layoffs but simply thinking ahead, she enrolled in business school for an MBA which she will complete in a few months. She is a nurse AND has worked in two specialties AND will now have business credentials. AND she got a job as the administrative head of a large medical practice AND will eventually go into nurse education.
� � � � � � � � � � � Jeanne earned her degree in mechanical engineering twenty years ago and was laid off three and a half years ago when the construction sector was still taking big hits, so she enrolled in a six-course sustainability certificate program at a leading technology university. Jeanne is now an engineer AND an energy analyst AND a compliance advisor AND a strategic sourcing program manager. AND, only two courses into the certificate, she was offered – and took – a job with an engineering firm that she said "was ahead of the curve and intended to stay there."
� � � � � � � � � � � Mike, Kerry, and Jeanne are three people whom I have coached, so I tell you their stories first hand. I have many, many more, all of which have the word AND in them.
� � � � � � � � � � � By the way, one of the most important "ANDs" is language. If you can say "AND I speak Spanish" or "AND I speak Korean" or "AND I speak Mandarin" or many other languages, you �will, in this increasingly global and multicultural business environment, have an advantage.
� � � � � � � � � � � So there you have it: "AND" is the word of the year. Actually it's the word for more than this one year, but this year is as good as any to start. The key to securing your place in the job market is self-definition, creating an identity – solely yours – based on as many "ANDs" as possible.
� � � � � � � � � � � When I first wrote about this, we were still millions of jobs behind where we were before �the recession; now we're in much better shape. The mistake you could make, though, is to be lulled into thinking that the job market is less demanding and that you can rest on your laurels.
� � � � � � � � � � � Just the opposite, for the simple reason that, while employers figured out how to survive (well, not all of them) with 8.3 million fewer people on their payrolls (yes, that's how many job losses we suffered during the Great Recession), they know full well that they now have to do more than survive; they must grow and they must compete in a much tougher ball game than they ever played in before. And they'll be looking for the candidate who can help them do it: not the one-dimensional accountant or teacher or contracts administrator or anyone else; but the special, unique individual who brings something extra to the table: the word "AND."
