Author Notes: Purées are so simple and so often overlooked as an alternative side dish. Maybe it is the extra step of puréeing the vegetable I am not sure. I am especially fond of carrot puree because it really highlights the carrots flavor, goes great with rich roasted meats, mostly beef and lamb and is a great change from hunks of stewed carrot.
If at the end of puréeing the carrots you find the carrots too wet add a touch, a teaspoon or two at a time, of instant mashed potato powder to absorb the excess liquid and act as a thickener.
I often make this early and then set it in a makeshift bain marie or double boiler, in other words a mixing bowl set snuggly over, but not touching the water, a saucepan filled with an inch of water and set over low heat so it simmers. I then cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid of some sort. —thirschfeld
Serves: 4
1 1/4
pounds carrots, rinsed and peeled
teaspoon sea or kosher salt plus more for seasoning the puree
teaspoon honey
bay leaf
thyme sprigs
teaspoon red wine vinegar
tablespoons unsalted butter
fresh ground white pepper
- After you have peeled the carrots cut them into equal lengths and those that are larger in diameter cut in half lengthwise. The idea is to get all the pieces approximately the same size so they all cook at the same time.
- Place the carrots into a saucepan large enough for the carrots to feel comfortable. Add enough cold water to the pan to cover the carrots by approximately 1 inch. Add the honey, 1 teaspoon of salt, bay leaf, thyme, red wine vinegar, one tablespoon of the butter and a grind or two of fresh ground white pepper.
- Place the pot over medium heat and gently bring it to a boil. Let the carrots cook at a gentle boil until a knife, inserted into one of the larger chunks, pierces it without much resistance. This should take in the neighborhood of 30 minutes. You want to be careful with your cooking time here. If you overcook the carrots you risk tastelessness and if you undercook them you wii have unappealing chunks.
- Once the carrots are done empty the pan into a colander to drain. Remove the thyme branches, don't worry about any leaves, and the bay leaf.
- This step is important. Let the carrots sit in the colander and steam out the extra moisture. The carrots will go from looking wet to looking dry and then you want them to dry out even a little more. You can always reheat the purée if needed but it is important to let them release the excess moisture.
- Place the carrots into a food processor. Add the remaining butter and process until smooth. Taste and season the puree with salt and pepper then whiz it around again to mix. Add more butter if it seems to need it otherwise, serve it up.

I am most inspired by these lines:
"The thing about this city, like no other — everybody wants everyone to succeed," said Seema Sudan, the owner and director of design at the knitwear company LiaMolly, who moved to New Orleans in October 2007. "I have never been in a place that is so community-oriented," she
said. "Competitive gets you nowhere. It's about being collaborative. And this city is so like that, from the people helping each other rebuild their homes to building businesses."
She said she also appreciated the quality of life, and the fact that she paid $800 for a 900-square-foot studio in the Garden District, and $1,800 for a three-bedroom apartment with a yard and tree house.
Two years into his project, Mr. Cummings remains enthusiastic.
"I am blown away by the caliber of talent," he said. "It's a thriving creative culture of invention. And it is growing every day."

Revision as of 06:31, 20 February 2013
WARNING - EARLY DRAFT: this plugin is not released yet and docs are in early draft and probably not complete/ buggy. If you want to try it, you will need to build the plugin yourself from source.
Nexus Unzip Repository
The Unzip Repository is a new Nexus repository type that shadows the build results of a standard Maven 2 repository and allows to browse into zip and jar artifacts. The use case is to offer p2 repositories that were built with Tycho packaging type eclipse-repository and deployed as zip to Nexus so that other Tycho projects can reference them.
- p2 repo zip as artifact in Maven 2 Repository:
- Same artifact viewed as unzipped p2 repository using a virtual unzip repo named public.unzip:
Installation and Configuration
The Nexus Unzip Repository Plugin requires Nexus OSS >= 2.3.0 installed
Deploying the plug-in
To enable a Nexus server to provide direct access to files inside zip/jar archives you need to deploy the Nexus Unzip Repository Plugin to the Nexus server instance and configure a new virtual repository using the Unzip Repository type.
- Stop the Nexus instance
- Navigate to the plugin repository in the work dir ${NEXUS_WORK}/nexus/plugin-repository
- Unzip the unzip-repository-plugin-<VERSION>-bundle.zip into the plugin-repository/ folder
- Restart the Nexus server
- Verify that the Unzip Repository Plugin is activated, by opening the Plugin Console from the Administration sub-menu of the Nexus UI
Configuring an unzip repository (using hosted/proxy/virtual repo as master)
WARNING: Using the Nexus Web UI you can only assign hosted, proxy and virtual repositories as the master repository. To configure a group as the used master , you need to configure it directly in the configuration file on the Nexus host machine. Details in the section below.
- Open the Nexus Web UI
- Login with your administrative user
- Choose the Repositories View from the side menu
- Open the Add menu and choose Virtual Repository. The detail view below the repository list opens a form to specify further repository configuration.
- Enter a unique repository ID and choose a (display) name. You cannot alter the repository type.
- Choose Unzip Repository Template as the repository provider. The repository format is fixed.
- Select the intended repository from the list of the source nexus repositories
- Save the repository config
- To verify the setup of the unzip repository, you can now select the repository from the repository list and start browsing the folders *and* into archives that you have deployed into the previously selected master repository. You can also open the URL given in the Repository Path column to browse in the standard web browser.
Configuring a group as master for the unzip repository
All groups and repositories configuration are stored in the nexus.xml config file in the Nexus work folder. You need to edit this directly in a text editor to configure a group as master.
- Stop Nexus
- Open ${NEXUS_WORK}/conf/nexus.xml
- Add a new repository element with following structure
<repository> <id>master.group.unzip</id> <name>Group Unzip</name> <providerRole>org.sonatype.nexus.proxy.repository.ShadowRepository</providerRole> <providerHint>org.eclipse.tycho.nexus.plugin.DefaultUnzipRepository</providerHint> <localStatus>IN_SERVICE</localStatus> <notFoundCacheActive>true</notFoundCacheActive> <notFoundCacheTTL>15</notFoundCacheTTL> <userManaged>true</userManaged> <exposed>true</exposed> <browseable>true</browseable> <writePolicy>READ_ONLY</writePolicy> <searchable>true</searchable> <localStorage> <provider>file</provider> </localStorage> <externalConfiguration> <masterRepositoryId>master.group</masterRepositoryId> <synchronizeAtStartup>false</synchronizeAtStartup> <useVirtualVersion>true</useVirtualVersion> </externalConfiguration> </repository>
Note that you write the repository id (not the name) of the group in the masterRepositoryId element.
4. Restart Nexus

NHLNumbers is a site dedicated to pushing hockey thinking further up Bloom's Taxonomy from the lower understanding stages to higher levels of cognitive thought. The best research is always going to be supported by data, or numbers, which is why we do what we do. The work being done lately doesn't have a direct one to one application to fantasy hockey so one of the challenges we face as the site continues to grow is finding unique ways to provide interesting but helpful content to empower fantasy players to make better decisions when building their rosters.
One approach to this problem is focusing on the context in which an individual player operates. No one is going to be able to pin down how well a player will perform perfectly, but with a holistic approach we can establish reasonable expectations for player performance based on the situations (context) in which they will operate.
Defining Context
When we refer to context or situations we are attempting to quantify the stress factor of an individual player's minutes. We want to know who he played with, who he was matched against, where his shifts began, and how much possession he drove. The general methodology is no different for fantasy hockey versus real hockey, but the application of the results is different.
Hockey stat nerds love guys who succeed when playing the "toughs". The guys that really get their hands dirty yet still drive possession can make a name for themselves quickly among interested observers (see Daniel Winnik, and Dave Moss). We want almost the exact opposite in fantasy. We want our fantasy players to have the easiest minutes (and as much power play time) possible to give them the best odds of scoring possible.
Get 'Em While They're Hot
Two young stars in particular look like big breakout candidates for next season based on the assumption that they will be playing more favorable minutes compared to the 2012 season. Jordan Staal and Jamie Benn are screaming "draft me high".
Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby deservedly receive a lot of press in Pittsburgh, but Jordan Staal deserves a lot of credit for what the Penguins were able to do the past few years. His defensive ability allowed the Penguins to put Crosby and Malkin on the ice for easier minutes. Of Penguins who played in at least 40 games Staal had by far the highest Corsi Relative Quality of Competition. Despite the difficult minutes Staal has still produced .58 points per game in his career. If his load lightens up slightly in Carolina fantasy players could see a drastic improvement in his production.
Jamie Benn's situation isn't very similar to Jordan Staal's, but he's also primed and ready for a breakout. I touched on his situation here, but the main thrust of the argument is that with Mike Ribeiro now in Washington Benn is free to move into easier minutes with more powerplay time. He should see a drastic increase in production given easier minutes, better linemates, and more powerplay time.
Looking Forward
Critically analyzing the fantasy potential of NHLers through contextual evidence can provide a significant edge to fantasy players everywhere. Over the course of the year (assuming it happens…) we will be bringing you copious amounts of analysis aimed at helping you find hidden gems to put you over the edge in your leagues. Stay tuned every Saturday for the latest fantasy update from NHLNumbers.

Solar stocks outshone peers Wednesday, enlivening an otherwise dull session for energy stocks, with shares of First Solar Inc. among the top S&P 500 gainers.
First Solar /quotes/zigman/102025 /quotes/nls/fslr FSLR pushed toward double-digit gains early in the session but ended the day with a 3.2% gain.
Shares rose on th
Raymond James also upgraded SunPower Corp., Suntech Power Holdings Co., and Trina Solar Ltd. to market perform. SunPower rose 1.8%, while shares of Trina rose 0.5%, also losing some steam as the session progressed.
Suntech fell 3.3%, adding to earlier losses.
The Raymond James analysts offered a pragmatic view of solar stocks, which got hammered just last week.
Since then, however, the risk/reward balance "has shifted towards a more neutral stance," the analysts said. The stocks are down more than 13% from 52-week highs set earlier this year. After that rally and the subsequent trough, a "more rational" trading is likely to return, they said.
And, unlike 2012, when solar stocks rallied early but were down 33% by the end of the year, the downside for 2013 is more limited, the Raymond James analysts said.
Conventional energy stocks on the S&P 500 closed mostly higher Wednesday, recovering from losses at the open. The SPDR Energy Select Sector, an exchange-traded fund focused on energy names, advanced 0.1%.
Meanwhile, shares of Exxon Mobil Corp. declined less than 0.1%. Exxon said during an investor event it will increase spending this year by $1 billion, bringing capital expenditures to about $190 billion over the next five years.
Exxon also said production of oil and other liquids is expected to increase an average 4% a year from 2013 to 2017 as 28 oil and gas projects come on line. Oil production for 2013, however, is seen down 1%.
Shares of ConocoPhillips advanced 0.6%. Chevron Corp. shares rose 0.5%.
Chevron has an investor day scheduled for Tuesday. Analysts at UBS said the company is expected to reiterate its capital expenditure budget of $37 billion and highlight a more active 2013 exploration program.
Shares of Hess Corp. declined 0.5%. Elliott Management, a top Hess shareholder that has been advocating change in the way the company conducts it business, criticized Hess Chief Executive John Hess for sending a letter to another activist hedge fund, Relational Investors, saying Hess has resorted to "scare tactics."
Relational had sent a letter to Hess' board on Tuesday in support of Elliott Management's proposals for Hess.
U.S.-listed shares of BP PLC rose 0.6%. BP Chief Executive Bob Dudley told an industry gathering the company plans to spend $4 billion a year in the Gulf of Mexico for the next decade. BP is also committed to developing new production opportunities in Russia, Dudley said.
The BP civil trial in New Orleans continued this week, with testimony from an expert witness on well monitoring and well control. BP, rig owner Transocean Ltd. and Halliburton Co. are all on trial for their respective roles in the Deepwater Horizon blowout and oil spill in 2010.

About Coralville
Located in Johnson County, Coralville is a suburb of Iowa City and started its development after what was then the largest dam in along the Iowa River was constructed and the mills started using the power generated by the dam. The town got its name Coralville shortly after a Harvard Zoologist spoke at the University of Iowa and reference the 'Coral Reefs of Iowa City' and was impressed by the amounts of fossilzed coral in the limestone around the Iowa River. Today Coralville is home to Coral Ridge Mall that was built in 1998 and is the largest shopping center in the state. The mall sits at the end of the Highway 6 also known as the 'strip' at the intersection of Interstate 80 and Highways 6 and 965. Coralvilles' population reached almost 19,000 in the 2010 Census and was named one of the Top 50 fastest growing...

The BEAM Bestiary is a BEAM Reference Library site.
Robotic heads are very popular creations -- both as parts of larger (generally, walking) 'bots, and as separate BEAMbots in their own right. Essentially all BEAM heads track something -- motion, light, heat, etc.
Both 1- and 2-axis heads have been built to date. 2-axis heads have twice as many parts as do 1-axis heads, but otherwise are not much more complex (since they are controlled via 2 identical circuits, one for each axis of motion).
Head circuits are discussed over in the circuits library.

When Sandy swept through the East Coast, it took more than homes and public property. The estimated $50 billion in damage left thousands out of work and even more wondering if their company will survive in the post-Sandy local economy. If you're suddenly jobless, either temporarily or permanently as a result of the storm, there is relief available. Here's a guide for the newly unemployed.
Continue Reading Below
"If you missed work due to (Superstorm) Sandy, you can file a claim to see if you are payable for unemployment," says Stan Kuligowski, a program and services coordinator for the Connecticut Department of Labor's Unemployment Insurance Operations Unit. "If you were out of work for less than a full week, you may be payable for partial benefits."
There are two main programs designed to help natural disaster victims. Unemployment insurance is available by state-regulated programs that provide a percentage of the employee's former salary usually for up to 26 weeks. Disaster unemployment assistance, or DUA, is for those who don't qualify for unemployment insurance, such as self-employed workers. DUA benefits are only available in places declared major disaster areas by the president and usually only available for up to 27 weeks after the event.
For Sandy, those areas include certain counties in New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Virginia, West Virginia, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Delaware and Pennsylvania. Only workers who cannot perform their job due to injury or damage to the workplace, cannot get to their place of employment or are seeking work because the head of their household has died as a result of the disaster are eligible for DUA benefits.
"We're directing everybody to first file for regular unemployment insurance," says Brian T. Murray, director of communications and marketing for the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development. When filling out their application, workers should state that the storm is the reason for unemployment. "That'll automatically get any rejected unemployment insurance reviewed for a disaster unemployment assistance plan," he says. Information on both programs is available through your state employment office.
Small Businesses
The Small Business Association offers low-interest disaster loans to homeowners, renters and those who run their own businesses and nonprofits. Help is also available through the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA. The agency announced Nov. 5 that it will provide more than $210 million in housing and other disaster-related needs to residents and business owners in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York. Those in affected states can find out what they're eligible for by calling (800) 621-FEMA (3362) or heading to DisasterAssistance.gov.
Finding a Replacement Job
Workers may be able to find stopgap jobs doing storm cleanup. Private companies may hire extra hands for landscaping and area rehabilitation projects. Several states, including New York and New Jersey, have been given additional national emergency grants to provide temporary jobs to those who can aid in recovery efforts. Information on those positions will be available through your state's department of labor or employment assistance office, but Murray says to be patient.
"It will take at least a week for many of these counties and these local governments to identify the projects that we hope to match people to," he says.
In the meantime, workers can take advantage of state job assistance programs that are available year-round, including job search boards, training programs and skills workshops, Murray says. The important thing is to act fast, says Dennis Grady, a partner with the Career Advisory Group in Hoboken, N.J.
"If someone has lost a job because of the hurricane, it's actually very timely. It's relevant," he says. "A lot of companies around here that have felt the pain; there's a certain benevolence that is existing right now where people are going to be pretty quick to want to talk to you. They're not going to turn down a phone call from you if that's your situation."
Update Your Resume
In addition to applying for unemployment and recovery assistance, job candidates need to update their resumes quickly and make sure it reflects that they are unemployed due to external weather circumstances rather than job performance issues. They should also highlight any above-and-beyond duties they accomplished for their former company during the storm, such as helping to get certain systems up and running again in the storm aftermath.
"Those are some specific ways that people can reflect their performance, their ability to perform under pressure, their ability to perform in a disaster scenario," says Grady.
Grady also advises job hunters to join with others who are unemployed in their area and become part of the recovery effort.
"Get out there and get active. Get involved in those groups, help people out," he says. "If you help somebody, they're going to want to help you back."

Easter Egg Hunts in Western New York

That's a bad day right there.
It's not clear where this happened exactly, but a dash cam video of the incident shows an 18-wheeler that took a turn too wide on the highway, unwittingly hooking the back end of its cargo — a huge beam — onto a guard rail beside the road.
The beam falls over, and in short order, the cab goes with it. That's gotta suck.
Hat tip to Arpad!

Huntington Beach used a strong second half surge Oct. 26 against Edison to score a 10-4 Sunset League boys' water polo victory over at Newport Harbor High.
The Oilers improved to 3-1 in league and 21-5 overall after outscoring the Chargers, 7-1, in the second half.
"Our man advantage and man-down defense was stellar," Huntington Coach Brian Anderson said. "Guys played calm, just like in practice. We knew we would earn kick outs because we are good in center and transition.
"It was nice to see them step up in those categories and always nice to beat your cross-town rival."
Scott Schultz scored a game-high four goals for the Oilers. Jameson Shively scored twice and single goals were scored by Ian Arnold, Noah Harrison, John Lovat and Jovan Jeremic. Brandon Lucia had eight saves.
Edison Coach Diggy Riley praised his team's defensive effort in the opening half, calling it "phenomenal," as the teams went into the half tied at 3.
Tony Morelli led the Chargers in scoring with two goals. Brent Bazzell and Troy Oates both scored once and Nate Sfreddo had 11 saves.
In the first game of a league triple-header at the Newport Harbor pool, Fountain Valley scored a 14-8 win over Marina. The Barons' Greg Pace netted five goals lead all scorers. Nick Frens scored three goals and had four steals, Shawn Carroll scored twice with three assists and four steals, Dalton Kenefick scored twice and Kyle Breznau and Alex Kryger each scored once. Chad Halsted finished with 13 saves, six assists and two steals.
Robby Melton's three goals paced the Marina offense. Jason Choi scored twice and Tylor Megill, Kyle Ellis and Riley Kantor each scored once. Michael Wolf had seven saves.
The other Sunset League game Oct. 26 pitted Newport Harbor against Los Alamitos, with first place on the line. The host Sailors beat the Griffins, 7-3. Newport Harbor leads the league race at 4-0, while Los Al slipped to 3-1 and into a second-place tie with Huntington Beach.
The Sunset League wrapped up league play Wednesday, but the scores weren't available at press time. Huntington took on Los Alamitos, with the winner moving into second place.

Over the Christmas break I had a few emails asking me about TypeScript http://www.typescriptlang.org/ the JavaScript extension invented by Anders Hejlsberg.
So what is TypeScript?
- TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript development.
- TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript.
- TypeScript supports Any browser. Any host. Any OS. Open Source
So where is TypeScript being used?
Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2012
The TFS team made the decision to convert all of our JavaScript to Typescript. TFS had over 150,000 lines of JavaScript.
The approach... more details at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bharry/archive/2012/10/24/typescript-a-real-world-story-of-adoption-in-tfs.aspx
As we looked at how to approach the effort of migrating our code, we talked to a few other team at Microsoft who had adopted Typescript before us. One was Erich Gamma's team. Erich estimated that manual conversion, to get fully annoted Typescript, one class/function/line at a time could be done at a rate of 300 or so lines per hour. Of course, all valid JavaScript is valid Typescript so you can just change the file extension and be compiling it but if you want all the benefits you will want to take advantage of some type annotations and that's the manual part. 80,000 lines, at 300 lines per hour was a daunting proposition. So we decided to invest in a tool to help with the process. Thankfully, we had been pretty rigorous in our approach. We used Javadoc fairly consistently to document our APIs. We used consistent patterns for our classes and modules, etc.
All told, it took us (1 dev) less than a week to write a tool (in Typescript, of course, :)) that would recognize Javadoc and the rest of our patterns and convert them to the corresponding Typescript constructs. It took about another week to run the tool, tweak our Javadoc comments (like filling in some that had been missed), update our build process, test the conversion, etc. Of course there's more we can do with Typescript. For instance, we didn't have any previous recognizable pattern for interface contracts - so there was nothing for the tool to use to generate the Typescript constructs. Over time, we'll be going through by hand, as we have reason to revisit modules and further tightening up the Typescript. I expect we'll find more issues that we don't know about now.
Overall, we've been super happy with the result. We feel like we're going to be more productive with better tooling experiences like Intellisense, the code will be better structured, more maintainable and ultimately higher quality. It's been a very good experience and if you've got a sizeable JavaScript codebase.
If you've not met TouchDevelop before it provides a drag-and-drop scripting environment which, it has now been revealed, has been developed in TypeScript.
The Web App has some amazing features, including code synthesis and trace+ replay and its a great tools for inspiring school children and beginners to programming. see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/uk_faculty_connection/archive/2012/12/13/touchdevelop-making-apps-for-mobile-devices-on-mobile-devices.aspx
Although TouchDevelop was designed for devices, specifically Windows Phone 7, with touchscreens, it can also be used with a keyboard or a mouse and so the browser-based version probably is an improvement in terms of productivity. It also provides the "work everywhere" element that allows for collaboration; as all the TouchDevelop client apps use the touchdevelop.com cloud service, all of your scripts will get synchronized between all platforms and devices and you only need to log in with the same credentials to access them. TouchDevelop Web App loads automatically on TouchDevelop.com and, having logged in with your Windows Live, Google or Facebook credentials, you find yourself in the Hub, where can view tutorial videos, visit the showcase to see apps already developed or just get on with creating your own apps in a highly intuitive environment. And once you have created an app you want to publish there are buttons to create a Windows Store app and to create a Windows Phone app.
TypeScript and the opportunity
So with these two great examples I encourage you to give it a try. You may be surprised at the bugs you find in your JavaScript code even if you've worked hard already to make sure there aren't any.

Do not vote!
To create a system which, by definition, enjoys a legal monopoly on the use of force, and then allow that system to become the judge of its own authority, is an error of such enormity that one can only wonder why grown men and women would be surprised to discover such powers being "abused." Creating the system is the abuse. Directing our criticism to members of the present cast while overlooking the backers of the play – who have substitute performers waiting in the wings – exceeds the bounds of innocence. It is like placing a bowlful of candy in front of a number of small children, and expecting the candy not to be touched in your absence.
"if voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal" -- Emma Goldman

Massachusetts Attorney General Martha M. Coakley, candidate for
Massachusetts Attorney General Martha M. Coakley, one of several democratic party candidates for governor, made a campaign stop at the Red Rose Pizzeria Restaurant in Springfield on September 17, 2013.
(Michael S. Gordon/The Republican)
By Michael Norton and Andy Metzger
Attorney General Martha Coakley leads Republican Charles Baker by 13 percentage points, but Baker leads four of the other five potential Democratic opponents, according to poll results released Tuesday.
According to Public Policy Polling, which included Congressman Michael Capuano in its field of seven Democrats running for governor, 41 percent of likely Democratic primary voters chose Coakley, with 21 percent selecting Capuano, who Coakley beat in the 2009 Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.
Without Capuano in the field of Democrats, Coakley captured 57 percent to 10 percent for her nearest competitor, Treasurer Steven Grossman.
"Martha Coakley's image has recovered a lot from 2010 and she's looking like the early front runner for Governor," said Public Policy Polling President Dean Debnam, in a statement.
Coakley is the latest entrant into the race and Grossman publicly mulled a run for nine months before announcing his intentions in July. Capuano has yet to say whether he will run for governor.
The pollsters surveyed 616 Massachusetts voters, including 324 usual Democratic primary voters, between Sept. 20 and Sept. 23.
While Coakley leads Baker 51-38 and Capuano leads him 42-37, the poll showed Baker with leads over declared Democratic candidates for governor Joe Avellone (40-30), Don Berwick (42-37), Juliette Kayyem (38-31) and Sen. Dan Wolf (37-31). Grossman and Baker were in a virtual tie, with the treasurer edging the businessman 38-37. The poll has a 4-point margin of error, with a 5.4 percent margin of error for the exclusively Democratic Party portion.
U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, who will be up for re-election next year, had a dead-even approval/disapproval rate (39-39), with 58 percent support among Democrats and 75 percent disapproval among Republicans.
While Republicans Bill Weld, the former governor, and Scott Brown, the former U.S. senator, had favorable approval ratios, Brown was the only Republican that did not lose to Markey in the poll, as Weld fell 47-41, Markey's former special election opponent Gabriel Gomez fell 53-35 and Richard Tisei, who was the GOP's lieutenant governor nominee in 2010, was beat 54-27.
Brown, who boasted ahead of the June special Senate election that he could have beat the veteran Democrat, was edged out 46-45, within the margin of error.
With about a year until the primary and less than a year until the Democratic Party nominating convention, several of the Democrats have yet to make an impression on voters.
Asked for an opinion on Avellone, Berwick, Kayyem and Wolf, more than 75 percent of respondents had no opinion. About half of those surveyed had yet to form an opinion on Capuano and Grossman, while only 13 percent were unsure about Coakley.
Baker, who challenged Gov. Deval Patrick in 2010, had yet to make an impression on 40 percent of voters, including 33 percent of Republicans. The Republican who previously held top Cabinet posts in state government during the 1990s received a favorable designation from about 25 percent of people who voted for President Barack Obama.

My son loves cinnamon rolls, but since most are chock full of white flour, sugar and fat, we rarely indulge. However, last weekend he begged me to make a batch. I was determined to make a batch that was organic, vegan, made with whole-wheat and still delicious. I'm happy to report that these cinnamon rolls fit the bill - and while we won't be eating cinnamon rolls everyday in our home, these are a great vegan alternative for those times that we feel like a sweet treat! Read on to learn how you can bake organic vegan whole-wheat cinnamon rolls.
What You Need:
- 2 1/4 tsp. organic dry yeast
- 1 cup organic soy milk
- 1/3 cup organic sugar
- 1 tbsp. organic ground flax seed
- 6 tbsp. water
- 2/3 cup Earth Balance
- 4 1/2 cups organic whole-wheat flour
- 1 cup organic brown sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
For the frosting:
- 2 cups organic powdered sugar
- 10 tsp. soy milk
- 2 tbsp. vanilla
Step 1: Get Yeasty!
Heat the soy milk to 105 degrees (not hotter) in a bowl, add the sugar and sprinkle the yeast on top of the mixture. Let it stand in a warm place until the yeast gets foamy.
Step 2: Whisk It!
In a separate bowl, whisk the flax seed with the warm milk-sugar-yeast mixture until it thickens.
Step 3: Make the Dough!
Add 1/3 of the Earth Balance (melted), along with the salt and flour to the warm milk-sugar-yeast-flaxseed mixture. Mix until a large dough ball forms.
Step 4: Knead It!
Knead the dough ball for 5 minutes or until it is firm and smooth, if it is too sticky add a small amount of flour. If it is too dry, add a small amount of water.
Step 5: Let It Rise!
Place the dough ball in an oiled bowl covered with a dishcloth. Then, place it is a warm area – such as a window sill and let it sit for 1 hour or until the dough doubles in size.
Step 6: Make It Sweet!
While the dough is rising, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon and 1/3 melted Earth Balance in a bowl.
Step 7: Roll It Out!
When the dough is done rising, roll it out on a well floured counter top until it is 1/4 inch thick.
Step 8: Sweeten It Up!
Add a layer of melted Earth Balance to the entire surface of the dough and then sprinkle a layer of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture on top.
Step 9: Roll It Up!
Roll the dough into a large tight log.
Step 10: Cut It Up!
Then, cut it into equal sized cinnamon rolls. We like to use a piece of plain dental floss to cut the rolls.
Step 11: Let It Rise Again!
Place them on an lightly oiled cookie sheet and cover with a dishcloth. Let them rise again for about 30 minutes – they will double in size.
Step 12: Bake It!

Silver Cross Receives Gold Seal of Approval for Primary Stroke Centers
New Lenox, IL (April 15, 2013)—The Joint Commission, in conjunction with The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, recently recognized Silver Cross Hospital with Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers. Achievement of Primary Stroke Center Certification signifies an organization's dedication to fostering better outcomes for patients.
"In achieving Joint Commission advanced certification, Silver Cross Hospital has demonstrated its commitment to the highest level of care for its stroke patients," says Jean Range, M.S., R.N., C.P.H.Q. executive director, Disease- Specific Care Certification, The Joint Commission. The Joint Commission is the nation's oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care. "Certification is a voluntary process and The Joint Commission commends Silver Cross for successfully undertaking this challenge to elevate its standard of care and instill confidence in the community it serves."
Developed in collaboration with the American Stroke Association, The Joint Commission's Primary Stroke Center Certification program is based on the Brain Attack Coalition's "Recommendations for the Establishment of Primary Stroke Centers." Certification is available only to stroke programs in Joint Commission-accredited acute care hospitals.
"Silver Cross is thoroughly committed to providing our patients the highest quality stroke care centered on current scientific research to ensure continued improvement in treatment," said Paul Pawlak, President and CEO of Silver Cross Hospital. "In addition to our Joint Commission accreditation, the Primary Stroke Center Certification has given us the opportunity to highlight the exceptional stroke care—from diagnosis through recovery, we provide for our patients, and help us improve care overall for our community."
Right Treatment, Right Time— All under One Roof
Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke. It is the third leading cause of death and the number one cause of adult disability in the U.S. A stroke is also known as a "brain attack" and can damage the brain as a heart attack can damage the heart. Strokes can often times affect speech, movement and memory because the cells die in the part of the brain that controls these abilities.
"Our goal is to make sure that every patient receives the right treatment at the right time," says Dr. Kathleen McCahill, Medical Director of the Silver Cross Stroke Program. "One of the most effective methods to reverse a stroke is treatment with the drug – tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) – which must be administered intravenously within just 3 hours of symptom onset."
The narrow 'time window' for administering tPA requires a very rapid response time by the public, by 9-1-1 responders, by the emergency department staff, and by specialists with the Silver Cross Neuroscience Institute. The concepts behind Primary Stroke Centers include a heightened state of readiness for stroke patients, making sure hospital-wide mechanisms are in place to rapidly identify and intervene in acute stroke, and a multi-disciplinary team who can deliver rapid and sophisticated care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Silver Cross is one of the few hospitals in the area offering advanced technologies to extend the treatment window for stroke up to 8 hours. Neuro interventional radiologists and neurosurgeons are available to treat strokes in our state-of-the-art biplane angiography suite.
Neuro interventional radiologists and neurosurgeons are available to treat strokes in our state-of-the-art biplane angiography suite. "This new technology allows for an even greater level of safety for patients by cutting the normal procedure length and radiation exposure in half," says Dr. Harish Shownkeen, Medical Director of the Neuro Interventional Program at Silver Cross.
And, patients don't need to go anywhere else to recover. Our partnership with The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC) ensures patients will receive an unmatched recovery experience close to home. RIC has been ranked the "Best Rehabilitation Hospital in America" by U.S. News and World Report every year since 1991. Patients benefit from RIC at Silver Cross' new 24-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit as well as four outpatient facilities—at the hospital, Homer Glen, New Lenox (Route 30) and West Joliet.

For Walter White, judgment day is at hand.
Legions of bingeing, borderline addicts of the meth-dealing anti-hero of AMC's "Breaking Bad" will receive their final fix Sunday as the newly crowned Emmy-winning series ends. Whether fans will want to cheer, howl or self-medicate after witnessing White's ultimate fate was a matter determined almost entirely by series creator and show runner Vince Gilligan.
While his beloved series, which has racked up ratings records in its final season, may be fading away, the 46-year-old Virginia native is not. For starters, he's moving ahead with a spinoff prequel series for AMC built around "Bad's" shady lawyer Saul Goodman, and a CBS cop drama called "Battle Creek" that is slated to air next year. More projects in television and film are certain to follow in the coming weeks and months.
PHOTOS: 'Breaking Bad' scenes | Every season, every episode
Less than 48 hours after his show won its first Emmy for outstanding drama series, and less than a few hours before jetting off to the Vancouver International Film Festival, a T-shirt, jeans-clad Gilligan sat down with The Times to discuss all things "Breaking Bad." Here's an edited version of the interview.
Congratulations on your Emmy win. Have you recovered yet?
It's all been amazing. A blur. A wonderful, high-class blur, but I'm OK. The secret is not to party all night. My girlfriend and I got home just after midnight. The thing is you're tense for three hours straight, and you keep telling yourself, "It's a wonderful thing if you win, if you lose it's not the end of the world, it's not going to kill you and change your life." But you're nonetheless keyed up.
Then, at the end of the night, people are wishing you well, which is wonderful, and all of sudden during the Governor's Ball, at some point all the adrenaline goes out of you like a toilet being flushed. And then you're completely just spaced out and exhausted.... Now my problem is how do I ever have something like this again? There's always got to be a problem. I've got to find a problem. That's just how I am.
Emmys 2013: Full coverage: Quotes from the stars | Winers and top nominees | Red carpet
Is everyone asking you about the ending?
It's almost like people have gotten together and consulted on the script. I'm not complaining; it's just an interesting sociological thing. They say they love the show and so sorry it's ending. And then they'll say, "How does it end?" As I open my mouth to make a joke, they hold up their hands and say they don't want to know. They start waving their hands, like stopping a car.
What can you say about the ending?
I don't want to ruin it. I haven't really told anybody, and I don't want to break my perfect record.
What's your relationship been like with Walter White?
It took me a while to realize it. I used to tell the story that I came up with Walter White [Bryan Cranston] because I was turning 40 and was facing a midlife crisis. But in hindsight, I realize it was deeper than that, and it took me several seasons to realize it.
We had an episode where Walt is giving a pep talk to Hank [Dean Norris] after Hank sees a head blow up on a tortoise. He tells Hank that, "I used to be scared of everything. My whole first 50 years of life. Everything scared me. I'd lay awake at night wondering what might happen, what could happen. Until I got my cancer diagnosis, and then I slept like a baby." I didn't really realize it until that episode, but that's really what has drawn me to this character. I'm not Heisenberg. I'm more Walter White.
PHOTOS: Before they were actors on 'Breaking Bad'
I tend toward this neurotic person who wonders "what if?"' a lot. And the "what if" isn't what if I win an Emmy, what if I win an Oscar, what if I win the Nobel Peace Prize? ... It's more like what if I accidentally hit a pedestrian driving over here, what if I get diagnosed with cancer, what if the pipes break in the house while we're away on vacation? I'm one of those guys.
Did you know if Walter was going to live or die when you sat down to write the final eight episodes?
No. We had some ideas in the writers room, some of which involve things we ended up doing.... It really took to the end, the last couple episodes, to figure out exactly how it was going to wrap up.
What were your biggest narrative concerns in these final episodes?
My two big concerns were Skyler [Anna Gunn] and Jesse [Aaron Paul]. Specifically, what was she going to do when Hank comes to her? Would it still be believable after all this if she'd still stand by her man, so to speak? ....The other big worry was Jesse ratting on Walt. That's a big step for him to side with Hank over his former partner. Have we earned that?
How about for Walter?
The big question for Walt is, "Do I kill my brother-in-law or do I not?" But we didn't discuss that for more than a minute or two in the great scheme of things. Our guts told us that Walt wouldn't kill Hank. It wasn't that we were afraid that Walt would be too unlikable. It's just that you have a certain understanding of the character, and mine was he would never do that. He would never actually harm a family member.
Does Walter actually love his family?
He does love his family. He doesn't do right by his family, even though he thinks he does. But he would never harm them physically. Of course, that confession tape allowed Walt to be nasty and Heisenbergian without actually physically harming his brother-in-law.
PHOTOS: Behind the scenes of 'Breaking Bad'
After being caged and watching helplessly as a woman he cares for is executed, how much more can Jesse take?
We didn't set out to torture poor Jesse or make him suffer. We love the character so much ourselves. We all know he deserves better. But Jesse should never have been a criminal in the first place.... His second-biggest mistake was getting into the meth trade. But his biggest mistake by a mile was getting involved with Walter White.
Walter did give him up to the white supremacists.
He's at his lowest moment that we've ever seen him prior to giving up Jesse. He's no longer Heisenberg. He lost the battle to save his brother-in-law, who is dead right there before his eyes. He's lost all his money. He's as low as he's ever been in his entire life. He can't strike back. He's completely impotent. He's lying there in a depthless misery, and he starts to snap out of it. He realizes he's staring at Jesse Pinkman hiding under that car. And in that moment, I think he's focusing all his loss, misery and rage on Jesse.
Is there anything Walter could do to redeem himself in the final episode?
Redemption is in the eye of the viewer. I can tell you, as writers, we didn't set out to damn or redeem anyone. I would have to say that considering all the things Walter White has done in the past 61 episodes — and he's done a few good things along the way, even relatively recently — that he's two miracles shy of sainthood, as Saul Goodman [Bob Odenkirk] might say. I don't think there's any redemption for Walter White, but that doesn't mean he has to go out in a sulfurous cloud of ignominy. It remains to be seen if he goes out standing on his feet or lying on his back.

text: Starbucks (Finally) Shows Up to the Tea Party If there was a ever a sure sign that tea is all the rage in the United States, it's Starbuck's latest incursion into an ever-expanding market of loose leaf teas. The coffee titan revolutionized that way people think about their daily cup of joe, and now it's trying to do the same thing for tea! A new article from Forbes outlines Starbuck's plans for taking a big gulp of the world's $90 billion hot and iced tea market, including thousands of tea houses aimed at filling a cuppa near you. Starbuck's big move has been a long time brewing. They recently acquired Teavana, which has made its own sizeable mark on the beverage market with its speciality tea offerings. In fact, new Starbucks tea houses will carry the look and feel of the Teavana brand, eschewing the kinds of markers that identify Starbucks coffee shops. It's no wonder Starbucks is trying to get in on the party. As Forbes reports, "Data from the Tea Association USA says America's interest in tea has grown by 16% over the past five years." But are they a little late to the tea party? The short answer is yes, but that doesn't mean Starbucks can't still have a big impact on tea's overall popularity. Small specialty tea shops (like yours truly!) have been building a tea culture and responding to a demand from U.S. customers for years, cultivating a love for loose leaf tea and tapping into people's passions for the perfect blend. More importantly, we've been creating communities, building tea houses as gathering places and building lifelong relationships. As a huge worldwide brand focused on mass production, Starbucks may lack a bit of a personal touch. But its ubiquity means that it's able to reach a lot of people at once and turn them on to tea. Some industry insiders question Starbucks' ability to get customers as excited about tea as they are about coffee. However, that might be underestimating tea's appeal. For lifelong coffee drinkers, there is certainly an element of novelty in switching to tea. For customers who love to geek out on the history, origin, quality and culture of their favorite beverages, tea offers a new opportunity get steeped knowledge. What do you think about Starbucks' move towards taking on the tea market? Do you think it will do more to help or hurt tea's popularity? How do you think it might impact other specialty tea retailers? We're curious to know what you think, so make sure to share your ideas in the comments section below! October Tea News Roundup What's going on in the wide world of tea? From health stories to exciting research that could change the way we grow tea around the world, here's a look at what's brewing.

Record Global Tea Output Likely This Year Despite a year full of shifting climate patterns, labor disputes and political crises in tea-growing regions, 2013 is on track to be a record year for tea production! That's right, this year could signal that highest volume of global tea production on record. With the global demand for tea growing, tea farmers and producers are rising to the challenge in a big way. What's old is new again, and tea's popularity shows no signs of stopping as consumers' thirst for healthy beverages continues to grow. Qing Dynasty Tea Brick Sells for US$1.2m If you happen to have tea bricks from Ancient China sitting around, you might want to considering selling them! A tea brick dating back to the Qing dynasty just fetched a pricey sum at a recent auction in China, selling for $1.2 million. Even more remarkable, the lucky auction winner says its value is actually much higher–closer to $8 million! Montana State University Professor Receives Grant To Study Environment's Impact On Tea Changing climate patterns in tea-growing countries like China could have a serious effect on tea's health qualities, and not in the way you may suspect. A research team from Montana State University has received funding to study the effects of weather on tea production in four regions of China. One of the hypotheses they will likely test is the effect of heavy rains on tea's health benefits. MSU health and human development professor Selena Ahmed suspects that monsoons could be detrimental to tea's overall health benefits, reducing antioxidants by as much as 50%.

Close your eyes for a second and you just might miss it. Slowing down with a cup of tea is a great way to make sure you take in the all the autumnal sights, sounds and smells while you still can. In all honesty, there are more reasons to drink tea year-round than we can squeeze into one tiny blog post, but here are four essential ones to remind you to restock the pantry before fall flits away. Your Joni Mitchell Records Called… There's something about fall that really brings on a contemplative mood, don't you agree? Another year passes by, the leaves start to change and you're suddenly reminded that nothing lasts forever. Cue endless sighing. While you prepare to peer out the window for long stretches of time that leave even your cat worried, tea is the perfect companion. Don't forget to bust out some of those old records to keep you company, too. Falling Back in With Old Friends and Making New Discoveries If you keep a close eye on our tea offerings throughout the year, you already know that we like to keep things interesting by introducing new blends every season. Are you excited to see some old friends back in action? Loose leaf blends like Pumpkin Spice Black Tea and Almond Apple Delight are like autumn in a cup. Drink up while you can! Getting Spooky Instead of a typical Halloween party, host a terrifying tea party instead! Brew a big cauldron of your favorite blend and tell your guests to come as Victorian-era ghosts for a seance and soiree. You can make things really fun with some ghoulish treats, too. Who says you can't be sophisticated and scary at the same time? The Gift That Keeps on Brewing 'Tis the season to cozy up with your favorite brew, but a freshly brewed cup is even nicer when you share it in the spirit of giving. Fall means that the gift-giving season is rearing up again. But don't let yourself feel overwhelmed by the idea of your massive to-do list! Instead, think of every gift as a chance to share something you love–like tea! There are lots of great gift ideas at our online store. Start planning now and get ahead of the game!

If you thought First Friday Artwalk was already brimming over with lots of great work from local artists, get ready, because there is more! On Saturday, we'll be launching a month-long exhibition with works from Pat Morse at our Tower Store Location. It's an art-packed weekend with lots to see and do while you enjoy your favorite Tea Smith brews and immerse yourself in the world of Omaha's creators, innovators and artists. We're excited to share Pats Morse's work with you, especially since it's such a striking contrast to the figurative photography we'll be showcasing at our Old Market Location on Friday. Pat has always been drawn to abstract expressionism and has refined his own unique process over the years to arrive at some beautiful, psychedelic imagery with bold colors and dynamic compositions. Pat is a true mixed media artist, pushing the envelope to incorporate all sorts of materials and approaches. He calls his approach Poxynamel Color Infusion (PCI) on glass, a method that is tricky to master for a few different reasons. First, there is the issue of working on glass. As the paint spreads on the slippery surface, time is always of the essence! Second, with oil-based and acrylic paints sourced from various places, there is always an element of surprise when it comes to mixing colors. By straddling the line between accident and intention, Pat arrives at these wonderfully abstract pieces. At the heart of Pat's work is a playfulness, curiosity and love for experimenting with vivid color. Some of these works look like eerie alien landscapes from some remote galaxy. Others look like cells, muscle tissue or glowing microorganisms you might examine under a microscope. Think of them as an inkblot test; what you see in them could say a lot about you! You can check out more of Pat's work at his online gallery. Don't forget to stop by the Tower Store on Saturday from 1-4pm. Pat will be there to talk about his work, mingle with guests, answer questions and enjoy the party with all of you!

We are growers of Premuim Australian Arabica Coffee. Our farm is in the hinterland of Byron Bay (for those who don't know this is a very marketable part of Australia - some research on the area will help you out) Design needs to be clean, bold and using indictative tones/conotations of Australia/Byron bay Hinterland. We are not "organic" but are certainly green in our farming practices - this should be conveyed in the logo.
- We are using Byron Bay/Australia as a unique and recognisable selling point for our premium coffee so the design should not clutter this message.
