LeBron James took charge of the biggest game of his life like BP took charge of that oil spill in the Gulf. And there's not an expert alive who can tell you for certain how long it's going to take to clean up the damage.
He had a stat line that ended up looking pretty good: 27 points, 19 rebounds, 10 assists. The problem is that too much of it came too late. Then there were the nine turnovers; with one more, he'd have had the kind of quadruple double no one wants.
So it is that King James learned the hardest way possible that it takes more than a cloud of chalk dust to be a superstar in the NBA. And that MVP trophy — his second in as many years — isn't much more than a glitzy doorstop. That was for the regular season, and it's no longer relevant. In the postseason, there's only one way you earn your superstar stripes, and that's by winning.
LeBron didn't and couldn't do that. Cleveland fans had invested an enormous amount of emotional energy in this son of nearby Akron. They'd given him their hopes and their dreams, their yearning for something to finally celebrate after so many years of bitter disappointments.
LeBron didn't disappoint those fans. In their minds, he betrayed them.
You saw them leaving Quicken Loans Arena in downtown Cleveland, where several thousand came to watch the game on video boards. It seemed 70 percent to 80 percent of the fans were wearing No. 23 jerseys.
Money isn't easy to come by in a region that has been as harshly hammered by the economic downturn as any in the nation. But the fans gave that up, too, shelling out hard-earned dollars for game tickets, jerseys, shoes and all things wine and gold.
All they got back was another heartbreak to add to the hard-luck city's little shop of playoff horrors.
I have no idea what LeBron is going to do next. There are good arguments to stay and good ones to leave. Either way, the beating he started taking in the media after his Game 5 debacle is only going to get worse.
He can decide to stay in Cleveland and make it all better by winning that title and ending the city's 46-year losing streak. Or he can decide to go someplace where he'll be more appreciated and get even more endorsements, someplace like New York City.
Whatever he does, his team will be a winner. But he'll be a disappointment until he wins a title.
This isn't baseball, where a superstar needs a large and talented supporting cast. It's hoops, and if you're the best player in the game, you're supposed to win a championship. LeBron's only 25 and hardly over the hill. But this year it was there for him. It's not even that he and the Cavs lost, but the way they lost. After handing the Celtics the worst loss they'd ever experienced on their home court, the Cavs didn't win another game. Game 5 was the worst loss in Cleveland's playoff history. Game 6 was an exercise in futility.
It's not often superstars suffer such enormous letdowns in the games that count the most. When they do, we tend to remember. In Boston, there are still people who will tell you that Ted Williams hit just .200 in the 1946 World Series, the only one of his brilliant career, and one the Red Sox lost in seven games to St. Louis.
In New York, Yankees fans still haven't forgiven Dave Winfield for his 1-for-22 performance in the 1981 World Series, which the Yankees lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers. And until he redeemed himself last year, Alex Rodriguez was more remembered for his postseason failures in pinstripes than his regular-season successes.
That's the sort of company LeBron is keeping these days. He's the MVP who can't win in the postseason, the superstar who fails in the biggest moment.
The judgment isn't entirely fair. The Celtics are a great team with a great point guard, three potential Hall of Famers, and championship experience. The Cavaliers are LeBron. Michael Jordan had Scottie Pippen. James has Mo Williams.
But great players elevate everyone around them. During the season, Williams and Antawn Jamison were very good players thanks to LeBron. Against the Celtics, they weren't. A lot of that is to Boston's credit. But some of it is to LeBron's discredit. It was there to be taken, and he couldn't take it.
To his credit, he didn't blame his sore elbow for his inability to take over the series and will his team to victory. "It limited me some," is all he would say about it.
Nor would he talk about where he'll be playing next year.
"I love the City of Cleveland, of course," he said. But whether he loves it enough to stay there remains to be seen.
LeBron said he and "his team" will decide what's best for him to do.
"It's all about winning for me," he said.
Didn't Dave Winfield say that, too?

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. – Three Virginia Commonwealth University women's basketball players received All-Colonial Athletic Association accolades Wednesday evening at the conference's annual pre-tournament awards banquet at The Gaylord National Resort in Upper Marlboro, Md.
Junior Courtney Hurt led VCU's trio, receiving first team All-CAA and second team All-Academic honors. Classmate Andrea Barbour received second team All-CAA accolades and freshman Jacqueline Brewer garnered All-Rookie recognition.
VCU is one of just three CAA schools to place a member on the first team in each of the last four seasons. Hurt joins D'Andra Moss (2010), Quanitra Hollingsworth (2009) and Krystal Vaughn (2008) on the list of first team honorees during that span.
Hurt (pictured, right) turned in arguably the most dominating campaign in school history this season, leading the nation in rebounding (12.6 rpg) and double-doubles (23) while ranking third in scoring (23.4 ppg). She became the fastest player in VCU history to break the school's single-season scoring record, while also shattering the school's double-doubles mark. Hurt, who was named to the Naismith Trophy Midseason Top 30 list, has posted a double-double in 23 of VCU's 28 games, 18 times tallying at least 20 points and 10 rebounds. Her 12 straight double-doubles to start the year was the ninth-longest streak in NCAA history. Only 21 players have ever posted 23 or more double-doubles in a season.
The Conyers, Ga., native, who already set the school record for free throws in a season (180), enters the CAA Tournament needing nine rebounds and three field goals to establish program records. Hurt also tied VCU's single-game scoring record with 35 points against UNC Wilmington on Jan. 6 and recorded her first career 20-20 game with 23 points and a career-high 20 rebounds versus Drexel on Jan. 30. Always a consistent force for the Rams, Hurt has scored in double figures in a school record 37 straight and 52 of VCU's last 56 games.
After sitting out the first semester following a transfer from Patrick Henry Community College, Barbour (pictured, left) has made her presence felt since her debut at Radford on Dec. 23. The Charlottesville, Va., native is averaging 31.3 minutes, 15.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.3 steals per game since joining the Rams. Barbour, a one-time Virginia AA State Player of the Year and McDonalds All-America finalist at Charlottesville High School, scored a career-high 28 points at Delaware on Feb. 24 after dropping 24 at Drexel on Feb. 20. She is averaging 18.7 ppg, 5.7 rpg and 2.8 apg in VCU's last 11 outings. The Rams are 14-5 since Barbour, who received 2008 Atlantic Coast Conference All-Rookie honors at Virginia Tech, joined the lineup.
Brewer, meanwhile, is the first freshman since Quanitra Hollingsworth in 2006 to receive rookie recognition. A native of Winchester, Va., Brewer (pictured, right) averaged 4.2 points and 12.1 minutes off the bench as a freshman. She was named CAA Player of the Week on Nov. 22 after pouring in a career-high 14 points with three rebounds and a pair of steals at Virginia Tech. Brewer, who scored 11 points on 3-of-6 shooting from long range in her collegiate debut, is currently third on the team with 19 three-point field goals. She has seen action in all 28 games this season.
James Madison's Dawn Evans was named CAA Player of the Year, while UNC Wilmington's Cynthia Cooper-Dyke received CAA Coach of the Year honors. The Seahawks' Alisha Andrews garnered Rookie of the Year recognition and Old Dominion's Jasmine parker was named Defensive Player of the Year. William & Mary's Lindsey Moller received the prestigious Dean Ehlers Leadership Award.
The Rams, who will serve as the No. 4 seed in this weekend's CAA Women's Basketball Championship, face the winner of No. 5 Hofstra/No. 12 William & Mary in the quarterfinals Friday at 2:30 p.m. at The Show Place Arena.

How to Use Fruits and Vegetables on a Low-Glycemic Diet
A low-glycemic diet means plenty of fruits and vegetables, which promote overall good health. Fruits and vegetables are some of the most nutritious, low-glycemic, low-calorie foods available. Packed with vitamins and minerals, these foods should make up about half the volume of every meal.
An easy way to measure your fruit and veggie volume at mealtime is to divide your plate in half. Fill one half of your plate with vegetables and fruit and fill the other half with lean protein and whole grains.
Adding volume to your meals
Because fruits and vegetables are high in water and good sources of fiber, they provide volume to your meals. Many people feel more satisfied with a large, heaping plate of food as opposed to what looks like a tiny portion floating in the middle of a large dinner plate. Visualize this example: You want an afternoon snack, and you decide to make a healthy choice — fruit. For 100 calories, you could enjoy 1/4 cup of raisins or almost 2 cups of grapes. Which portion looks more satisfying to you? Eating low-calorie, high-volume foods help you eat fewer total calories and still feel full and satisfied.
The reason for this feeling of fullness is energy density, or the amount of calories in a specific amount of food. To calculate energy density the official way, divide the calories in a serving of food by the weight of that food in grams. If the calories in a food are less than the weight in grams, then that food has an energy density below 1, which means it's a low-energy-density food that provides volume and fullness with fewer calories. Most fruit and vegetables, skim milk, and broth-based soups fall into this category. If the calories in a food are twice the weight in grams, then the food has an energy density of at least 2, which means it's a medium-energy-dense food. Meat, cheese, and salad dressings fall into this category.
Because fruits and vegetables have a low energy density, and because many fruits and vegetables also have a low or medium glycemic index, building your meals and snacks around these foods is a smart move. For instance, a big tossed salad becomes lunch with the addition of grilled chicken, and a vegetable stir-fry with small amounts of seafood or lean pork can contain up to four times the amount of vegetables as rice for a satisfying, low-glycemic meal.
Using fruits and veggies as your top weight-loss tools
Low-glycemic fruits and vegetables can keep you feeling fuller longer and for fewer calories, making them the perfect foods for weight loss. The vast majority of fruits and vegetables are low-glycemic, but feel free to check any you're unsure of at Glycemic Index Foundation.
Make sure fruits and veggies play a starring role in your snacks and meals:
Add chopped fresh vegetables to cooked cereal for breakfast and skip drinking juice.
Add a variety of chopped, dark green, leafy vegetables or leftover cooked vegetables to an omelet for breakfast or even a fast lunch.
Choose broth-based soups that contain lots of vegetables as an appetizer or add small amounts of lean meat or chicken for a satisfying and complete meal.
Keep a bowl of fresh fruit on the counter. (It's amazing what you'll choose for snacks if healthy options are right in front of you!)
Have a bowl of clean, cut-up raw vegetables in the fridge, ready for grab-and-go snacking.
Keep the number 3 in mind for dinner: 1 = a cooked vegetable, 2 = a raw vegetable, such as sliced tomatoes or a raw vegetable salad, and 3 = fruit for dessert, such as sliced apples or a bowl of fresh berries.
Perhaps making veggies a priority in your diet is difficult due to horrible childhood memories where you had to stay at the dinner table until you finished your spinach. If that's the case, you can find help enjoying veggies again with these tips:
Try, try, and try again. It takes many people 15 to 20 times of sampling a food before it becomes "okay" to their taste buds.
Use different preparation methods. Don't like veggies raw? Then boil them. Can't stand sautéed veggies? Try steaming them instead. You may even find that a little spray butter, seasoning, or dip helps transform a formerly unpleasant veggie into something palatable to you.
Explore the unknown. Are there veggies you've never tried? Make an effort to purchase one uncommon veggie (or fruit, for that matter) each time you go to the grocery store. Discovering how to prepare this food and the benefits you get from eating it is something you can involve the kids in as well.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
On a baking sheet, toss mushrooms with 2 tablespoons oil and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Roast for 10 minutes. Toss in the scallions
and roast for 15 minutes more. Push
mushrooms and scallions to one side and
place spinach on empty side, roast until
wilted, about 3 minutes. Let cool briefly,
then squeeze spinach dry.
Brush an 11-by-7-inch rectangular tart pan with a removable bottom (or a 10-inch round pan) lightly with some of the remaining oil. Working with one piece of phyllo at a time and keeping the rest covered with plastic wrap, brush a sheet of the pastry very lightly with olive oil. Fit into tart pan, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Brush a second sheet with oil and fit into pan. Repeat with remaining sheets, creating a crust that is at least five layers thick over the bottom of the pan. Fold edges at top.
Crumple a double layer of aluminum foil into a rectangle the size of the bottom of the tart and fit into crust to weight down center. Place on a baking sheet and bake until edges are golden and begin to set, about 7 minutes. Remove foil and bake until golden all over, about 3 minutes more. (Remove from oven, leaving baking sheet. Tent edges with foil if browning too quick.)
Reduce oven to 375 degrees. In a blender,
puree the goat cheese, eggs, milk, and remaining
1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth. Add
herbs and pulse to combine. Spread vegetables
over crust and pour custard over top.
Place tart back on baking sheet in
oven and bake until custard is set, 20 to 23
minutes. Pull tart from oven and let cool
10 minutes on wire rack. Remove sides
of pan and cool at least 10 minutes more,
until ready to serve. If not serving right
away, slide off of bottom and onto wire rack.

Lucas Cruikshank — the viral video star who played the ultra-hyper "Fred" character in a Nickelodeon movie and several shows — has announced he's gay in a YouTube video, according to TMZ.
Boy, if all these people keep coming out of the closet, they're going to start thinking they can get married or something.
The 19-year-old actor broke the news during a short video clip with his friend Jennifer Veal, the star of the Disney Channel show "Jessie."
Cruikshank said his closest friends and family members have known about his sexual orientation for years, but he didn't feel the need to tell the world.
The website reported that, at one point in the new video, Cruikshank turns to Veal and asks, "How come you didn't have to make a video saying you're straight?"
Ah — HA! I knew it!
Cruikshank become a star by creating several YouTube videos featuring his annoying "Fred" character, who had a crush on a girl named Judy. I guess we now know why they never hooked up.

Learn more about the BMW X6: BMW X6 Reviews, Pricing, Specs and more »
In order to find a used BMW X6 that has all the features you require, you need to first research the various trims available. The BMW X6 was sold as a compact luxury crossover in 2008. This model was termed a Sports Activity Coupe as it had all the powerful features of an SUV combined with the elegant styling of a Coupe. The X6 seated only 4 passengers when compared to the X5. Two new additions to the X6 series followed in the coming years. The BMW Concept 6 ActiveHybrid and the X6 M were introduced in 2009. The X6 M has certain features like the M Sports Automatic transmission, M Dynamic mode feature and 20-inch alloy wheels. Although this is impressive, the Active Hybrid X6 is considered the most powerful hybrid vehicle in the world. It features a 407hp V8 power unit with Twin Power Turbo technology and 2 electric engines that make 91hp and 86 hp, respectively. Drivers thus have a choice to drive using electric power alone, power generated by the combustion engine or both. The vehicle also boasts of other energy saving systems. Two other variants of this series are the xDrive30d and the xDrive35d. These models are powered by a 3.0 Liter turbo-diesel engine. BMW first implemented its DPC (Dynamic Performance Control) system in the X6 models. The DPC regulates traction and maintains vehicle stability. If you wish to buy a used BMW6, research used car listings on the Internet and at local dealerships. You could also check out CarsDirect's comprehensive listing of used BMW X6's for sale.Show More »

No offense dudes, but I'm dutch, and I've been to America, and at least in the states I've been to, your tap water tastes like pool water. I can't drink that, so I drank bottled water instead. I don't care if it's just filtered tap water, because that's what matters: that they filter out the chlorine.
And having some of the safest water in the world' isn't that hard. People in Africa die daily from bad drinking water. Doesn't mean your water's good, just means it's safer and it won't kill you on the short term.

Bourekas: Savory Cheese-Filled Pastries
These cheese-filled pastries are relatively easy to make — if you purchase the dough to make your feta-filled bourekas. Flaky filo dough makes the best bourekas, but you can also use puff pastry and pie dough. For the filling, pair a pungent cheese such as feta or Parmesan with a mild one such as cottage cheese.
Preparation time: 1 hour
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Yield: 15 to 20 small pastries
Keeping kosher: Dairy
1/2 pound filo dough (about 10 sheets)
1/4 cup farmers' cheese or ricotta cheese
1/2 cup finely crumbled feta cheese
1 large egg
1/3 cup grated cheddar or Swiss cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Small pinch of salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1/3 to 1/2 cup melted butter, for brushing dough
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for sprinkling
If the filo dough is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
Remove it from the refrigerator 2 hours before using it, leaving it wrapped.
Mash the farmers' cheese with the feta cheese in a medium bowl until blended.
Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat it lightly.
Add the egg, cheddar cheese, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper, then mix until combined.
Butter two baking sheets.
Remove the filo sheets from their package and unroll them on a dry towel.
With a sharp knife, cut the stack in half lengthwise, to make 2 stacks of 16-x-7-inch sheets.
Cover them immediately with waxed paper and then with a slightly damp towel.
Work with only one sheet at a time, keeping the remaining sheets covered with the waxed paper and towel so they don't dry out.
Remove 1 filo sheet and brush it lightly with melted butter.
Fold it in half lengthwise, to make a 16-x-3-1/2-inch strip.
Dab it lightly with butter.
Spoon 2 teaspoons cheese filling at one end of the strip.
Fold the end of the strip diagonally over the filling to form a triangle and dab it lightly with butter.
Continue folding it over, keeping it in a neat triangle after each fold, until you reach the strip's end.
Set the triangular pastry on a buttered baking sheet.
Brush the pastry lightly with butter.
Follow Steps 10 through 17 with the remaining filo sheets and filling.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Brush the pastries again lightly with melted butter and sprinkle them with sesame seeds.
Bake them for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve them warm, not hot, or at room temperature.

A Unova League Evolution! (Japanese: 決着イッシュリーグ!ピカチュウ対ルカリオ!! Isshu League Conclusion! Pikachu VS Lucario!!) is the 108th episode of the Best Wishes series, and the 765th episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on January 10, 2013 and in the United States on April 13, 2013.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Now that Cameron's Riolu has evolved into Lucario in the midst of his Unova League battle with Ash and Snivy, the heat is really turning up! After evolving, Lucario's powerful moves are even stronger than Riolu's were, and Snivy is defeated.
Ash then calls upon Pikachu, who hasn't fully recovered from its earlier battles. Pikachu's power and tenacity are amazing as always, the result of the strong bond between Trainer and Pokémon, and it battles Lucario almost to a standstill. But Lucario manages one final Aura Sphere to seal Pikachu's defeat. Ash is out of the Unova League, and Cameron moves on to the semi-finals...
...where he's up against Virgil and Team Eevee, and Flareon's type advantage finally overcomes the powerful Lucario! Virgil's Eevee proves to be a fierce competitor as well, knocking out his final opponent's Druddigon to win the Unova League!
After our heroes bid a fond farewell to their friends and rivals, we leave Ash contemplating all the wonderful adventures yet to come—and feeling more determined than ever to make his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master come true!
Continuing Ash and Cameron's battle from Cameron's Secret Weapon, Ash is left with his Snivy and Pikachu. Although Cameron only has his newly evolved Lucario, things are just getting started.
Ash has Snivy score a quick hit with a Leaf Blade. Recovering quickly, Lucario counters with a Force Palm that throws Snivy across the field. Bianca remarks that Lucario's Force Palm is much stronger than it was when it was just a Riolu, to which Stephan states it is because Lucario had just evolved. Ash then has Snivy use Vine Whip, but Lucario blocks the attack. Not willing to give up, Ash has Snivy keep attacking Lucario with a barrage of Vine Whips, but Lucario keeps blocking them. Seeing an opening, Cameron has Lucario grab onto Snivy's vines and use Circle Throw, slamming Snivy into the ground. As the dust clears, Snivy appears to have been knocked out. With some encouragement from Ash, she manages to get up and continue the battle. Wanting to end the battle quickly, Cameron has Lucario demonstrate his new move Aura Sphere. Snivy attempts to dodge, but the attack follows her and lands a direct hit. The attack generates an explosion that throws Snivy to the ground causing her to faint. Eliminated from the battle, Ash is left with just Pikachu.
Cilan comments that although both Trainers are left with one Pokémon each, Pikachu hasn't yet recovered from his battles with Cameron's Swanna and Samurott in the previous episode. Starting the battle, Pikachu strikes first with Quick Attack. Wanting to wrap the battle up as fast as possible, Ash has Pikachu use two additional Quick Attacks. Lucario looks like it is almost beaten so Ash orders Pikachu to go in close with Iron Tail, but Lucario manages to slide away. Jumping up, Lucario comes in from above with Force Palm, throwing Pikachu across the stage. Cameron has Lucario follow up with Aura Sphere. At the same time, Pikachu lets off an Electro Ball. The attacks collide in midair and explode, throwing both trainer's Pokémon away. Both Pokémon are able to get up, but Pikachu looks like he is struggling more.
Pausing the battle, Cameron talks with Ash, saying he feels great competing in the Vertress Conference. Ash says he feels likewise and they continue the battle. Both Pokémon run toward each other. Lucario attempts to land a Force Palm, but Pikachu jumps over Lucario and dodges the attack. Not wanting to give up, Lucario follows and grabs Pikachu, tossing Pikachu high into the air with Circle Throw. Almost cat-like, Pikachu somersaults in the air and lands lightly on his feet. Following up, Pikachu hits Lucario with a powerful Thunderbolt and goes in close to hit with a Quick Attack. Pikachu is visibly exhausted but comes back around with an Iron Tail. Cameron and Lucario are determined not to give in though and Lucario uses Copycat which turns into Iron Tail as well. The two attacks collide and release an explosion. Falling from the cloud, the two Pokémon fall and hit the ground hard. Both trainers encourage their Pokémon to be the first to get up. In the stands, his friends are also rooting for Pikachu. After the encouragement, both Pokémon rise to their feet. Ash tells Pikachu to use Electro Ball with everything he has while Cameron tells Lucario to charge up an Aura Sphere. At the same time, both trainers have their Pokémon use their attacks. The two attacks collide, but Lucario's Aura Sphere manages to push away Pikachu's Electro Ball and it hits Pikachu, ending the battle and causing Cameron to with the match, moving on to the top 4. Both trainers congratulate each other and their Pokémon.
The next day, Cameron and Virgil are battling. Cameron is left once again with only Lucario while Virgil still has three Pokémon left. Calling back his Espeon, Virgil calls out his Flareon. Cameron, not worried about typing, has Lucario go in with a Force Palm, but Flareon uses Double Team to evade the attack before using a super-effective Flamethrower, but Lucario is still able to battle. Hoping to get an idea, Cameron tries snapping his head band, but nothing comes to mind, so he just has Lucario attack with Aura Sphere. Flareon counters with Fire Blast, punching through Aura Sphere and hitting Lucario. Lucario is knocked out and Cameron loses the semifinal.
It's the final round and both trainers are down to their last Pokémon: Virgil down to his Eevee and Dino down to his Druddigon. Druddigon uses Dragon Rage, but Eevee evades the attack with Dig. Coming out of the ground, Eevee hits Druddigon with Iron Tail, throwing Druddigon to the ground. Finally, Eevee knocks out Druddigon with Trump Card, making Virgil the champion of the Vertress Conference. Meeting up by the fountain, the trainers congratulate each other on their efforts. When Davy arrive to pick Virgil up, the group says farewell to him as he flies away. Just then, Bianca runs up trying to catch Virgil, but is late and knocks Ash into the fountain. She gives everyone Casteliacones. Cameron and Lucario devour theirs and run off to train. Bianca decides to head back home.
Ash and Stephan are in the sauna discussing their plans for the future. Both trainers vow to get stronger for a rematch.
At the hotel, Cilan and Iris are packing but Ash has slipped away to go back to the stadium to reflect on his performance and what it took him to get here. The flashback ends and Ash is watching the sunrise when Cilan and Iris find him.

Florida has executed a man who fatally stabbed his wife and her young son in 1985.
The governor's office says John Ruthell Henry was pronounced dead at 7:43 p.m. Wednesday.
The 63-year-old was convicted and sentenced to death for fatally stabbing his wife, Suzanne Henry.
Just before his execution, Henry asked for forgiveness and apologized for what he'd done. He also was convicted of fatally stabbing Suzanne Henry's 5-year-old son hours after the woman's murder.
Henry previously had pleaded no contest to second-degree murder for stabbing his common-law wife, Patricia Roddy, in 1976. He served less than eight years and was released in 1983.
It wasthe 13th execution in Florida since April 2013 and the 18th since Gov. Rick Scott took office in 2011. On Wednesday, the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Henry's last-ditch effort to postpone the execution.
Hours earlier, Georgia and Missouri carried out separate executions, the first since a botched lethal injection in Oklahoma in April revived concerns about capital punishment. Neither execution had any noticeable complications.
Georgia and Missouri both use the single drug pentobarbital, a sedative. Florida uses a three-drug combination of midazolam hydrochloride, vecuronium bromide and potassium chloride.
Midazolam, a sedative used before surgery, has only been used in Florida since October; previously, sodium thiopental was used, but its U.S. manufacturer stopped making it and Europe banned its manufacturers from exporting it for executions.
During the first Florida execution using midazolam, it appeared to an Associated Press reporter that it took longer for inmate William Happ to lose consciousness than others who have been executed under the previous drug mix. In the six executions since, the process has appeared to go normally.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Tuesday brushed aside questions about the state's execution procedures, saying he has to "uphold the laws of the land."
When asked directly if he had discussed with the Department of Corrections what happened in Oklahoma and whether any changes were needed in Florida, Scott would only say: "I focus on making sure that we do things the right way here."
Henry had been on parole for two years when he killed his wife and Eugene. Suzanne Henry's relatives told reporters she hadn't known about John Henry's previous killing when she married him after his release.
During Henry's trial, prosecutors said the unemployed bricklayer went to Suzanne Henry's home three days before Christmas of 1985 to talk about buying a gift for the boy, who was Suzanne's son from a prior relationship. They fought over Henry living with another woman and he stabbed her 13 times in the neck and face, killing her.
Prosecutors said Henry then took the boy and drove around for nine hours, sometimes smoking crack cocaine, before fatally stabbing five times in the neck.
Hours later, Henry told a detective, he found himself wandering a field. He later told therapists he had killed the child to reunite him with his mother.
Henry tried to use an insanity defense for killing his wife.
Psychiatrists at the trial testified that Henry had a low IQ, suffered from chronic paranoia and smoked crack cocaine. He told them he had intended to commit suicide after killing the boy but said he was unable to go through with it.
During the trial, then-Pasco County detective Fay Wilber testified that he drove Henry to find the boy's body. When the boy's ``two small feet'' were finally seen in the underbrush after dawn, Henry "started crying," Wilber said, according to news reports.
"He was crying and he held on to me," the detective said.
In recent months, Henry's attorneys have questioned whether his client was mentally stable enough to comprehend his death sentence.
In an appeal the Florida Supreme Court rejected last week, Henry's attorney, Baya Harrison III, wrote that Henry's "abhorrent childhood, extensive personal and family mental health history, poor social adjustment, and lack of rational thinking and reasoning skills so impaired his adaptive functioning that he was actually performing at the level of a person with an IQ of 70."
In May, a panel of mental health experts said Henry doesn't suffer from mental illness or an intellectual disability and that he understands ``the nature and effect of the death penalty and why it is to be imposed on him,'' according to court records.
Nine executions nationwide have been stayed or postponed since late April, when Oklahoma prison officials halted the execution of Clayton Lockett after noting that the lethal injection drugs weren't being administered into his vein properly. Lockett died of a heart attack several minutes later.

Citigroup Tumbles as Fed Rejects Capital Plans
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of Citigroup (C) have dropped 4.5% in after-hours trading after the Federal Reserve rejected its capital plans.
The Fed explains why it said no to Citigroup:
The Federal Reserve's objection to Citigroup's CCAR 2014 capital plan in part reflects significantly heightened supervisory expectations for the largest and most complex BHCs in all aspects of capital planning. While Citigroup has made considerable progress in improving its general risk-management and control practices over the past several years, its 2014 capital plan reflected a number of deficiencies in its capital planning practices, including in some areas that had been previously identified by supervisors as requiring attention, but for which there was not sufficient improvement.
Practices with specific deficiencies included Citigroup's ability to project revenue and losses under a stressful scenario for material parts of the firm's global operations, and its ability to develop scenarios for its internal stress tests that adequately reflect and stress its full range of business activities and exposures. Taken in isolation, each of these deficiencies would not be deemed critical enough to warrant an objection, but, when viewed together, they raise sufficient concerns regarding the overall reliability of Citigroup's capital planning process to warrant an objection to capital plans and require a resubmission.
Morgan Stanley (MS), JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Bank of America(BAC) had their capital plans approved. Morgan Stanley has gained 0.6%, JPMorgan Chase has dropped 0.8% and Bank of Americahas dropped 0.8%.

How to Combat Cross-Contamination of Food in Your Food Truck
Cross-contamination can cause harmful contaminants can spread to your food and throughout your food truck. Cross-contamination is the transfer of harmful bacteria, parasites, or viruses to food from other foods, cutting boards, utensils, and so on that aren't handled properly. Improper handling of raw meat, poultry, and seafood can create an inviting environment for cross-contamination.
When handling food, follow these simple but important guidelines to prevent cross-contamination and reduce the risk of food-borne illness:
Always wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds before and after handling food (see the following section for tips).
Start with a clean slate before you prep and cook. Wash cutting boards, dishes, countertops, and utensils with hot water and soap.
Use one cutting board for fresh produce and a separate one for raw meat, poultry, and seafood.
Replace cutting boards when they become excessively worn or develop hard-to-clean grooves.
Never place cooked food back on a plate that previously held raw meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs.
Separate raw meat, poultry, and seafood from other foods in your grocery shopping cart and shopping bags, and in your refrigerator.
To prevent juices from raw meat, poultry, or seafood from dripping onto other foods in the refrigerator, place these raw foods in sealed containers or plastic bags on the bottom shelf of the fridge.
Don't use sauce that was used to marinate raw meat, poultry, or seafood on cooked food unless you boil it first.

By Jackson Diehl
Monday, November 22, 2010;
For help understanding the foreign policy headlines of the past week, let's return, briefly, to the spring of 1983, when Barack Obama was a student at Columbia University. What were the burning international issues of that time?
Well, first was the "nuclear freeze" movement, which was prompting mass demonstrations around the world by people worried about the standoff between the Soviet Union and the United States. Obama published an article about it in a campus magazine in which he invoked the vision of "a nuclear free world."
The Middle East, meanwhile, was still reeling from the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon - which was the apotheosis of the Zionist right's dream of creating a "greater Israel" including all of the Palestinian West Bank.
Back to November 2010. The Obama administration is devoting a big share of its diplomatic time and capital to curbing Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank - most recently, offering Israel's right-wing government $3 billion in warplanes in exchange for a 90-day moratorium. Meanwhile, it has committed much of its dwindling domestic political capital to pushing a new nuclear arms control treaty with Russia through a reluctant Senate.
So has nothing changed in the past quarter-century? In fact, almost everything has - especially when it comes to nuclear arms control and Israel's national objectives. What hasn't changed, it seems, is Barack Obama - who has led his administration into a foreign policy time warp that is sapping its strength abroad and at home.
Start with the New START treaty that Obama has made a priority for the lame-duck Senate, at a time when Americans don't yet know what income tax rate they will pay on Jan. 1. The treaty resembles the landmark U.S.-Soviet arms control treaties that were negotiated in the years after Obama wrote his article - and it would perpetuate their important verification measures.
The difference is that no one stages marches today about U.S. and Soviet - now Russian - strategic weapons, and with good reason. The danger of a war between the two states is minuscule; and treaty or no, Russia's arsenal is very likely to dwindle in the coming years. The threat of nuclear weapons now comes from rogue states such as North Korea, Iran and Syria, and maybe from terrorist organizations. Obama believes that U.S.-Russian treaties will lead to better containment of that threat - but that's at best an indirect benefit.
That doesn't mean the START treaty is worthless. The Senate ought to approve it if only to ensure the continued monitoring of Russian missiles. But does it merit dispatching the vice president and the secretaries of state and defense to Capitol Hill for a desperate (and uphill) lobbying offensive? It's hard to see why.
The same might be said about Obama's preoccupation with stopping Israel's settlement expansion in the West Bank and Jerusalem - a campaign that even Palestinian and Arab leaders have watched with bafflement. True, almost everyone outside Israel regards the construction as counterproductive, and only a minority supports it inside Israel.
But that is just the point: The dream of a "greater Israel" died more than 15 years ago. Even the Israeli right now accepts that a Palestinian state will be created in the West Bank. The settlements have become a sideshow; the real issues concern how to create a Palestinian state in a Middle East where the greatest threat is not Israeli but Iranian expansionism. What to do about Hamas and Hezbollah and their Iranian-supplied weapons? How to ensure that the post-occupation West Bank does not become another Iranian base? Those issues did not exist in 1983 - and the Obama administration seems to have no strategy for them.
Not all of the administration's foreign policy is anachronistic. Obama's tour this month of India, Indonesia, South Korea and Japan reflected a cutting-edge concern with rebuilding U.S. influence in Asia and forging alliances with its democracies in response to a rising China. Iran has been the target of a relatively successful multilateral sanctions campaign, though that has yet to affect its nuclear program. The START treaty with Russia is part of a larger strategy to coax its brutish regime toward more responsible behavior.
Still, this administration is notable for its lack of grand strategy - or strategists. Its top foreign-policy makers are a former senator, a Washington lawyer and a former Senate staffer. There is no Henry Kissinger, no Zbigniew Brzezinski, no Condoleezza Rice; no foreign policy scholar.
Instead there is Obama, who likes to believe that he knows as much or more about policy than any of his aides - and who has been conspicuous in driving the strategies on nuclear disarmament and Israeli settlements. "I personally came of age during the Reagan presidency," Obama wrote in "The Audacity of Hope." Yes, and it shows.

Travel light. Travel Far.
My name is Lanny Clark. My business is servicing and restoring Land Rovers on my farm in Colchester, Vermont. I have been involved with Land Rovers since the 60s and in the Land Rover parts and service business full time since 1984. So….. I have quite a lot of Land Rover experience and I am learning more daily, I have completed over 40 major Land Rover restorations.
I have been to the Land Rover factory in Solihull several times over the years and in 1995 I completed 3 off road driving courses at Land Rover Ltd in the U.K. and became a certified Land Rover driving instructor. I work alone, however I have a small group of local craftsmen, who I sub-contract paint, upholstery, and machine shop work to. Virtually everything that is done to a Land Rover in my shop, is done using genuine Land Rover parts. My goal is to produce a safe, reliable Land Rover, as close to the original as possible.

My coworker E blows my mind regularly. As a celebration of Rosh Hashanah, she brought in four varieties of homemade herb and spice infused honeys to eat with sliced locally grown apples. I am the elated recipient of small jars of two varieties of those honeys - buckwheat honey infused with lavender, and clover honey infused with a variety of Indian spices (honeygasm, honeygasm). She also made two other clover honey infusions, one with garlic and jalepeño, and the other with fennel, anise, mint, and something else licoricey that is currently slipping my mind. Lord have mercy, those honeys were knee-weakeningly good.
Anyway, this isn't the only thing she does. E often makes amazing marinated vegetable concoctions and brings little containers into work for me to try, and they are always delicious and complex. We both saute greens in the kitchen over the lunch hour and talk about food while we share containers of oil-cured Moroccon olives and meaty cerignolas. I bring fermented vegetables for her and other homemade goodies, but truthfully, I have a hard time keeping up, because she rocks. Lately E has been amazing all of us with her homegrown and epically enormous Moon and Stars variety watermelons to share. These melons are huge, round, heavy, lovely things that measure roughly 1 1/2 feet in diameter. She transports these watermelons to work on a wheely cart. Yes, that' right: my friend E wheels watermelons through the downtown Minneapolis skyways while people in boring business suits whiz past carrying briefcases and talking on their dorky Bluetooth headsets. The last melon she brought in - quite possibly the largest melon I've ever seen - was so unwieldy that it actually broke the wheely cart mid-trip, and she managed to get into work somehow anyway. She is wonderful.
Despite the fact that these watermelons are absolutely enormous, they are beautifully juicy and sweet. I can't tolerate much in the way of watermelon, but I always sneak a little bit, because I can't resist. Last week Friday, as we were gazing upon a bowl full of watermelon seeds, E suggested something that came to me as a bit of a revelation: roasted watermelon seeds. The thought of it made my brain explode. After the initial "whoa" passed, I was hit with absolute shock that this idea had never even crossed my mind. I mean really, we eat roasted squash and pumpkin seeds, so why not watermelon? I knew I had to do it as soon as possible, like, that afternoon. Thankfully, our workplace (a commercial photo studio) has a oven and all the kitchen gear I could ever need, so I was ready to go. And I just so happened to have some leftover seeds from an acorn squash that I baked that morning, so I threw all those seeds together in a roasting pan with some butter, my dad's homemade spice mix, and smoked salt. It was amazing! All my coworkers loved them.
Roasted watermelon seeds are like the kettle chip of the roasted seed world: thick, crunchy, and hearty. Any leftover bits of watermelon caramelize when you roast the seeds, adding a slightly sweet flavor. Besides being delicious, watermelon seeds are also nutritious. Like all seeds, they are a source of fat, fatty acids, and protein, as well as minerals. They are a great source of magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and zinc, and even provide a decent amount of iron. Pretty cool right? In Asia and the Middle East, roasted watermelon seeds are a common snack. So, it's funny that here in the West we are always encouraged to spit them out or throw them away, right?
Since E brought another one of her amazing watermelons in yesterday (using someone else's cart, by the way), I couldn't resist the urge to roast more seeds for my coworkers. So, roast I did, which was followed very shortly by gorging. I snapped a quick photo so I could write up this post, because I knew I needed to share this idea with all of you.
There are lots of recipes online for pan-roasting watermelon seeds, but I have been roasting them in the oven with success. Both times I opted for a medium high temperature rather than super hot, and a longer baking time. The results were excellent! Eat up the last of your garden's watermelons, save the rinds for some homemade watermelon pickles, and save the seeds for a little roasting - what an amazing fruit!
Occasionally my friend E reads this blog, and she has absolutely no idea I've written this about her... I wonder if she'll find it, or if I should tell her I wrote an ode to her? ;)
Roasted Watermelon Seeds
yield varies
- watermelon seeds
- olive oil or melted ghee or other oil
- 1 Tbsp butter, cut into tiny little pieces (optional, include only if you are a dairy eater)
- sea salt
- other spices as desired: ground pepper, cumin, cayenne, paprika, herb blends, etc
Rinse watermelon seeds and soak for 2 hours in salted water. Drain, pat dry, and remove as much of the leftover watermelon goo as you can. Place seeds in a large oven-proof glass or heavy metal baking dish. Drizzle with oil and stir to coat thoroughly, then sprinkle with salt, spices, herbs, etc. and tiny pieces of butter, if using. Place in oven and bake for about 40 minutes at 325º F, then bump it up to 350º F for about 15 minutes until crisp and darker brown (may vary depending on your oven and the size of the seeds). Remove from oven and let cool, transferring to paper towel or a rag to absorb excess oil. They will become more crisp as they cool. Then eat!
Store leftovers in a well-sealed jar in the refrigerator.

Days of rioting across England have sharpened criticism of social media tools like BlackBerry Messenger, Facebook, and Twitter, which are helping criminals organize looting gangs, British officials say.
• David Lammy, a member of parliament from the city's hard-hit Tottenham district, on Tuesday called on Research in Motion, the Canadian owner of BlackBerry, to pull the plug.
• A day earlier, Scotland Yard warned that those "inciting violence" on Twitter would be brought to justice.
• And the deputy assistant commissioner of London's Metropolitan Police, Steve Kavanagh, said "really inflammatory, inaccurate" Twitter postings were a key cause of disorder.
On Thursday Prime Minister David Cameron added his voice.
"Everyone watching these horrific actions will be stuck by how they were organized via social media," Mr. Cameron on told British lawmakers in an emergency session of parliament. "Free flow of information can be used for good. But it can also be used for ill. And when people are using social media for violence we need to stop them."
The riots have brought Britain face to face with a trend that has emerged the US, albeit on a vastly smaller scale: "flash robs" – the criminal version of "flash mobs." Large groups of thieves have appeared suddenly at stores in cities from Las Vegas to Chicago to Washington, with law enforcement suspecting that raids were organized on social media.
But the scale of the chaos in England has prompted a far greater urgency, pitting law and order against the very social media tools that were hailed for supporting public demonstrations against authoritarian regimes during recent "Arab Spring."
In some cases, the calls to action among England's disaffected have walked a fuzzy line between activism and incitement. After the shooting death of Tottenham resident Mark Duggan by police, some supporters organized a vigil Facebook page. But shortly afterward, the page had more than 7,500 fans and several dubious comments asking people to share videos from the riots.
Other posts, however, would appear to cross a clear line. One typical BlackBerry message broadcast on Sunday, reported by The Guardian newspaper, calls on "everyone from all sides of London" to convene in certain areas and then to vandalize shops on Oxford street.
This has ramped up pressure on social media providers to cough up the keys to the kingdom – the encryption keys that will let police or intelligence authorities listen in on private conversations.
But some say that would be missing the point.
"There's certainly some evidence of the use of mobile communications to organize what happened, but to understand this you have to go beyond the assumption that this was a spontaneous public uprising," writes Andy Williamson, director of digital democracy at the Hansard Society in London, who has studied the use of social media tools in the Arab Spring.
"You can't blame social media for what happened nor can you really say it changed the nature of the riots," he notes in an e-mail interview. "It might have spread the message but the evidence points to it being a tool.... These kids use social media instinctively in their lives, of course they're going to use it here. If social media was to blame, 24-hour TV was more so."
Others say forcing providers to divulge encryption keys would be a knee-jerk reaction.
"The UK certainly has ample laws that would allow police to subpoena people's communications without going to BBM and having them open up their entire network," says Jillian York, director for international freedom of expression, Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco
The BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) is particularly under fire because it is encrypted and free, Ms. York says. Many people can communicate at the same time, but it doesn't leave a public trail the way Twitter and Facebook do.
Because of the trail left on most social-media sites, flash robs are a "sexy story" but not one likely to become a broad trend, says Ethan Zuckerman, director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center for Civic Media in Cambridge, Mass. Also, over the long run there are other, more secure ways for criminals to organize themselves than using BBM, he says.
"I predict in the wake of London's riots that a whole lot of people will get arrested," he says. "This is a city filled with [surveillance] cameras. Police will examine the footage and correlate it with social media."
Moreover, social media participation in England has not been all bad. It has also been an important part of the cleanup efforts.
"Basically you had people using tools like Facebook or Twitter to reach out and kind of say, 'Hey, this is our community, let's get together to put a stop to this,' " writes Patrick Underwood, a researcher of online communities at the University of Washington, in an e-mail interview. "Again, we've seen such a response in riots before, but the new technologies add some new wrinkles."

Another Way Of Looking At CICS Monitor Trace Data
MartinPacker 11000094DH Visits (11942)
The CICS Monitor Trace SMF Record (Type 110) has got to be one of the most complicated SMF records in existence - and for good reason. Which is precisely why I'm not going to attempt to process the raw records in my code. (And why PMCICS doesn't support releases after a certain point.) But the "and for good reason" hints at the fact I think this is a tremendously valuable type of... [More]

ALFRED — York County Senior College has something of interest for everyone with its upcoming monthly 2013 Gary Sullivan Memorial Winter Lecture Series.
The series begins Wednesday, Jan. 16, and continues with monthly installments in February and March. The intellectually-stimulating and enjoyable presentations feature morning and afternoon speakers for a full day of learning.
Morning lectures take place from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. and are followed by an appetizing lunch and a second lecture from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.
"A Post-election Analysis and Discussion of the Future of Print News" will launch the new-year series on the morning of Jan. 16. Editorial writers M.D. Harmon, a conservative, and Greg Kesich, a liberal, will represent divergent views as "Monday-morning quarterbacks" following the November elections. And, given the increasing technology related to news distribution, they will analyze the future of print news.
That afternoon, Kate Braestrup, a community minister, a law enforcement chaplain, and the author of The New York Times bestselling memoir, "Here If You Need Me," will speak about her chaplaincy with the Prison Warden Service. Her deeply poignant writing enhances her vast and sometimes unbelievable experiences, and in person she is just as moving and eloquent. With poise and grace, she brings to life the truths and complexities of her sensitive assignment: "A Chaplain in the Prison Warden Service."
Upcoming lectures include a Feb. 20 adventure to Morocco, "Visiting Morocco: 2012," to be presented by Lisa Huestis, a graduate student in "International Development," and world traveler-photographer Drew McCormick. Following lunch, seniors will learn about the timely topic of "Reflections on the Arab Spring, Religion and Their Impact on U. S.," by Dr. Anouar Majid, the founding director of the Center for Global Humanities and Associate Provost for Global Initiatives at the University of New England.
Finally in this 2013 series, on March 20, Michael Guptill, the artistic director, producer and director of the Hackmatack Playhouse, will take the group back in time and backstage to experience "Hackmatack Playhouse: Its History and Technical Side." The additional telling of his family's involvement with the theater will delight and inform both patrons and newcomers to the Hackmatack story.
All winter lectures will be given at Denis Hall on the campus of the Brothers of Christian Instruction at 133 Shaker Hill Road, off Route 202, in Alfred. The fee for each day's program is $15, payable at the door by cash or check — the latter made payable to the Brothers of Christian Instruction. The fee includes a morning-coffee-and-muffin reception from 9 to 9:30 a.m., along with a luncheon of soup, salad, sandwiches, dessert and beverage.
These lectures are open to the public with no age or membership requirements.
Please call (207) 282-4030 for reservations by the Monday before each lecture.
The Senior College will cancel its classes in the case of inclement weather and of the Sanford School Department canceling school.
York County Senior College also provides low-cost educational and social opportunities for adults, offering classes in the spring and fall semesters in Saco, Springvale, and North Berwick. Usually, 8-week terms commence in March and September. For more information, please visit online at www.maineseniorcollege.org.
To be added to the College's mailing list, please call (207) 282-4030.
The mission of York County Senior College is to provide a curriculum of intellectually-stimulating learning opportunities and special activities for persons 50 years of age or older. Begun in 1999, Senior College is governed by a volunteer committee who oversees its general operations. York County Senior College is a program of the University of Maine System's University College. Its motto is "Learning as it should be; lifelong."

I was asked to send in a recipe to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Calvert (Maryland) Boys and Girls 4-H Club. They are creating a cookbook from past and present members.
You can tell by my outfit and hair that this photo is from the 1970s. I made that recipe dozens of time in preparation for Demonstration Day. I dreaded that day every year, but it did give me wonderful practice at public speaking and I have used the experience in my career.
7 Layer Bars
1/4 cup butter
1 cup of graham cracker crumbs
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup chopped nuts
1 6-ounce package chocolate chips
1 6-ounce package butterscotch chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
- Preheat oven to 350° degrees F.
- Melt butter; pour into the bottom of a 9 x 12 baking pan.
- Pour graham cracker crumbs over butter; pat down.
- Add the coconut, nuts, chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips in layers.
- Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk over the top.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes until top is golden.
- Cool completely and cut into bars.
Speaking of public speaking, my husband, Bob, and I visited our oldest son, Nowlan, in North Carolina and sat in on his genetics demonstration to high school students.
I title the photo above, "When Mom makes you stand in front of your research poster for a picture."

Crown needs to be good neighbour too – Richard Strowger:
I was chatting to another local last week and we got on to the often debated topic of the financial impact of Crown ownership of land in districts like Waitaki.
There are a fair few of us in the district who have Crown-owned land as our neighbour and we wonder, like all good neighbours, just what role the Crown plays in our community.
A classic example of this is getting access into Department Of Conservation land. It takes a fair bit of expense on behalf of ratepayers in the district to maintain local roads that lead into Department of Conservation-administered land, but we do not haul in any rates off that piece of dirt for the purpose. . .
Federated Farmers: quality comes first – Matt Harcombe:
The debate over water and agriculture is a tangled web of interlinked policies, on-farm actions, science, emotion, perception and economic and cultural factors affecting its use, availability and quality.
Some factors are well understood, others are not. The biggest issue in the public eye is quality. But access to water and its use, irrigation and storage are also vital.
Although most farmers are working hard to adapt and evolve alongside changing public expectations of water quality, they are also trying to keep up with the demands of the Government and regional councils, while working out what it means to their farm.
The farming community wants to play its part in ensuring everyone has reasonable access to clean water but there is no clear consensus on what pathways should be taken to reach that goal. . .
We all own our agricultural story . . . that's the problem – PastureHarmonies:
The trouble is; we all own New Zealand's agricultural story.
That is, the huge collective effort that went into figuring out, developing and improving the soil, pasture and plant/animal interaction that is our pastoral method: is part of our collective birthright.
Unfortunately, NZ Inc has never (and as such never could) apply for a worldwide patent for the knowledge. There's none of it that's uniquely identifiable. If, perhaps way back in the 1930s when some of the eminent scientists of the day were working up their theories of how to grow grass/clover better, there may have been some form of IP we could've called 'ours'. . .
Bid to drown-proof Maori children:
Water Safety New Zealand has launched a five-year programme to boost the swimming ability of young Maori in rural areas.
Over the past six years 22% of drownings were Maori.
Portable pools will be rotated around rural centres, catering for up to 40 students at a time based at the kura. . .
New Zealand Winegrowers release Vineyard Register Report:
New Zealand Winegrowers (NZW) has released the 2012 Vineyard Register Report today, which presents the most accurate statistics in the last decade on the sector's vineyard productive capacity. The report includes data from 1,841 vineyards with a combined producing area of 34,269 hectares in 2012, which is anticipated to increase 683 ha in 2015.
The Vineyard Register is an initiative from the New Zealand Winegrowers Strategic Review, and replaces the previous Vineyard Survey which was conducted annually. "The 2011 PricewaterhouseCoopers Strategic Review emphasised the importance of accurate data as a prerequisite for understanding future production capability, infrastructure planning, biosecurity management, disaster response purposes, and pest and disease management. The Vineyard Register now provides this vital information and is a significant step forward for the industry" says Philip Manson, General Manager Sustainability at New Zealand Winegrowers. . .
Preston's Gold sets up for a summer of good meat:
Preston's Master Butchers have been awarded a Gold Medal at the Devro New Zealand Sausage Competition for its Turingia Bratwurst.
"Our customers have been telling us for a while that this is a fantastic sausage", says General Manager Andrew Preston.
"A win in a national competition is reinforcement that we've got it right. Our Anytime Turingia Bratwurst is a traditional pre-cooked German Bratwurst. It is flavoured with marjoram and parsley and a touch of pepper and garlic. . .

We guarantee that this Georgia high school catcher is not the first person to realize that he can duck out of the way of a pitch and nail the umpire, but he's the first we've ever seen actually try it.
We don't see how any reasonable person could not see it as obviously intentional, but they've gotta investigate anyway.
"It looks bad, and most people who look at it come away with that conclusion," [school principal David] Friend said. "But there have been wacky things that have happened in baseball and high schools, and all I'm going to conclude is that it does need to be investigated. If we're found to be at fault, we'll effectively deal with the situation."
Friend said he had interviewed his baseball coaches today and concluded they were not to blame. Friend said he had not finished talking to the players.
The catcher and pitcher say it was a sign mixup. The only way that was a sign mixup is if the catcher had given the sign to "remain standing and catch the ball."
Best thing about this: There was a runner on second, who advanced.
