Bibi Netanyahu's unprecedented second appearance before the U.S. Congress was widely applauded by member of Congress who couldn't stop getting to their feet. It was less well received in some other corners, the Oval Office for one if it had a corner, according to Joe Klein writing in Time:
Of all the petty annoyances, misdemeanors and felonies of public life, there is none that Barack Obama detests more than to have his words twisted or oversimplified. It is a big part of his frustration with the media; it is a bigger part of his disdain for the talk-show wing of the Republican Party. And so it wasn't hard to imagine smoke jetting from the President's ears as Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, willfully misinterpreted Obama's statement about the need to renegotiate Israel's borders — in Obama's presence, in the Oval Office on May 20. The President had said that a two-state solution, which Netanyahu alleges to support, should be based on the pre-1967 borders, with mutually agreed-upon land swaps that would enable Israel to incorporate the vast majority of its — dare I say— illegal settlements into its territory while giving over equal amounts of Israeli turf to the Palestinians.
This is not a groundbreaking proposition. In the arcane world of Middle East peace negotiations, it is the equivalent of saying many Jews and Arabs eat hummus....But Netanyahu did an astonishing thing: he chose to ignore the part about the land swaps. He also chose to ignore some significant, and rather hard-line, statements of principle that Obama made in his May 19 speech on Middle East policy ... Instead, in a most condescending manner, Netanyahu chose to lecture the President on a position that he knew Obama hadn't taken — a return to the "indefensible" pre-1967 borders.
Why on earth would Bibi Netanyahu choose to be so boorish and provocative? Because he can be. He has the U.S. Congress in his pocket, a fact made obvious by the applause tsunami that attended his speech to a joint session ... But Netanyahu's offensive also had an important tactical effect: Israel's continued, illegal construction of settlements on Palestinian lands — an impediment to peace every bit as great as the Palestinian refusal to truly acknowledge Israel's existence — took a distinct backseat during the week of dueling speeches. Netanyahu was playing offense so he didn't have to play defense.
Netanyahu knows American politics. The ease and eloquence of his address to Congress were stunning evidence of that. And so he must have been aware of the political impact of his cheesy gambit: he has now, overtly, tossed his support to the Republicans in 2012. Mitt Romney was able to say that Obama had "thrown Israel under the bus." Given his congressional support, Netanyahu may be able to get away with playing so bold a hand — but it is inappropriate behavior for an American ally, and you can bet that Obama won't forget it.
While the U.S. media did not generally share Klein's displeasure with the Israeli prime minister's misrepresentation of the president's position, some outlets even noted their deep approval for the presidential dissing, Israeli media was more critical of the prime minister's Washington whirlwind: Here's Gordon Levy in Haaretz speaking of Netanyahu's congressional performance:
It was an address with no destination, filled with lies on top of lies and illusions heaped on illusions. Only rarely is a foreign head of state invited to speak before Congress. It's unlikely that any other has attempted to sell them such a pile of propaganda and prevarication, such hypocrisy and sanctimony as Benjamin Netanyahu did yesterday.
The fact that the Congress rose to its feet multiple times to applaud him says more about the ignorance of its members than the quality of their guest's speech. An Israeli presence on the Jordan River - cheering. Jerusalem must remain the united capital of Israel - applause. Did American's elected representatives know that they were cheering for the death of possibility? If America loved it, we're in big trouble.
Meanwhile a day after Netanyahu's speech offering "painful concesssions" for peace, ground was broken for new Jewish housing in East Jerusalem. "The Israeli government is implementing its vision for the destruction of a two-state solution presented by Prime Minister Netanyahu to the American Congress," said Senior Palestinian negotiator Saeb Ereka. "This settlement is not only another obstacle to returning to negotiations, but it also raises tensions, institutionalizes discrimination, and brings those with extremist beliefs in close proximity to Palestinian residential areas."
Of course, later on when I became acquainted with the document of Vatican II, "Nostra Aetate", I realized the fallacy of what I had thought and, obviously had, been taught.
A few years later I read a comment by a woman, who was married to a Palestinian. She said and I can only paraphrase: Christians in Western Europe have persecuted the Jews for centuries and they are making the Palestinians do penance for it.
Around the same time, I was travelling in Israel on a personal pilgrimage. I met a man in typical Arab garb in a taxi we were sharing. He asked me about my nationality. I told him that I was an American. Then he leaned over and whispered in my ear:
"When we get the power we're going to wipe them out. Don't forget that I told you."
Four months later, a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria launched a joint surprise attack on Israel on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism.
A relative of mine is a journalist in the Middle East. He has provided me with a good deal of information on rights of the Palestinians. I try to balance his comments with the right of the Jews to a homeland.
Despite the fact that I am sharing personal comments on this issue, I try to be logical and reasonable. Both sides of the issue have to be considered. Both sides have a lot of forgiving to do. It's complicated.
1. Someone said the last person to receive such a reception in Congress was Churchill. I listened to parts of the speech and was immensely impressed with the logic and passion of the delivery.
2. A couple commentators said there is no such things as 1967 borders. They were truce lines from previous wars with the Arabs, all started by them. They never were meant to be any basis for long term territorial markings mainly because they were indefensible especially with present day technology. So Obama's bringing them up was a provocation and his subsequent backing down a little was a result of his education on the matter very quickly. By the way there was a new article two days ago that the G20 was supposed to put in it latest manifesto that Israel was to return to the 1967 borders but Canada prevented it.
3. There apparently are natural formations that would make it difficult for Arab invasion in the future or jihadist penetration that Israel wants to make permanent. I was also unaware of this that this might be the basis for any future partition. There is I believe a four thousand foot cliff rising out of the Jordan river that they want for a natural boundary.
4. The line in Netanyahu's speech about of the 300 million Arabs and the only free ones are the million in Israel who apparently will not want to leave Israel under any settlement was a very telling one and probably one that upsets the anti Israeli factions. I thought the Iraqi's were now free too but that would not go over well either with the same groups that are anti Israel.
5. While Israel is far from perfect they have leaned over backwards incredibly with the Arabs in the last 40 years. For a neighbor who openly says they want to kill you and has tried several times to do that, they are extremely controlled in their responses. Sometimes it is not as controlled as even they would like but no other group in the history of the world has had so much self restraint.
6. One of the reasons the left hates Israel so much is that it started out as a socialist state and was supported at the beginning by the Soviet Union and supplied arms by Eastern bloc countries. Israel is the one place in history where socialism worked. But they abandoned it after one generation as they saw the debilitating aspects of it. For that they can never be forgiven. So if you want to understand the hate directed towards Israel by the left, that is its origins.
Now Stanley, I know you know better than that.
The great lesson of history that all Americans must know is how the United States was pulled into World War II seventy years ago dsespite the stong wish of Americans to stay neutral and politically disinvolved with the rest of the world. Both political parties in the 1940 presidential election wanted to remain nuetral. All Americans wanted to just remain safely in the walls of Fortress America protected by the vast distances of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans from the raging everywhere in Europe, Asia and Africa.
Unfortunately technology had change in the early part of the 20th century that made the world a lot more dangerous than ever before. The United States was in fact vunerable to attack and was attacked in a bold never-before attempted but very successful surprise attack air craft carriers and air craft. This showed there was no place to hide when the rest of the world is engulf in war. Qar spreads worldwide and engulf all nations even seventy years ago.
Now of course in the 21st century with atomic weapons and new hypersonic missles other countries security can not be ignored and hope they take care of themselves. Their wars become our wars as WW II showed. Better to pay attention to world security needs from the start to prevent wars from starting and then as they did terrribly in WW II spread worldwide.
Since WW II the new reality is that the United States is directly impacted by world affairs and warfare. Strategic partners llike France, Britain. Israel or Kuwait can not be at war without the United States eventually being be involved. The United States to protect itself must be involve with worldwide security.
The Palestinians are a muddled bunch who are desperate but they need a fig leaf.Bibi is a timewaster .History will judge him very harshly for putting his own political needs above the peace and happiness of millions of people.
It is time Rabin went to God and asked for a change.
The American media manipulation of this whole drama is incredible.
For every one Israeli that dies four Palestinians die.It has been so for 20 years.
I think that the Angels have Obama's ear.
Obama - the master of misrepresentation and straw man argumentation – detests having his words "twisted"? His words weren't twisted of course – see below – but if Obama really does detest having his words twisted, then implicit in that statement is that Obama is a hypocrite par excellence.
As for the rest of Klein's piece, see
"An Anti-Israel President - The president's peace proposal is a formula for war"
Bret Stephens, 5/24/11
"For starters, it would be nice if the president could come clean about whether his line about the 1967 line—''mutually agreed swaps'' and all—was pathbreaking and controversial, or no big deal. On Sunday, Mr. Obama congratulated himself for choosing the hard road to Mideast peace as he prepares for re-election, only to offer a few minutes later that ''there was nothing particularly original in my proposal.''
"Yet assuming Mr. Obama knows what he's talking about, he knows that's untrue: No U.S. president has explicitly endorsed the '67 lines as the basis for negotiating a final border, which is why the University of Michigan's Juan Cole, not exactly a shill for the Israel lobby, called it ''a major turning point.''
"Mr. Obama would also know that in 2009 Hillary Clinton had described this formula as ''the Palestinian goal.'' Now it's Mr. Obama's goal as well, even as he insists that ''no peace can be imposed.''
"Then there was Mr. Obama's use of his favorite professorial trope: ''Let me repeat what I actually said.'' What followed was a rehearsal of what he supposedly said on Thursday.
"But Mr. Obama's problem isn't, as he supposes, that people aren't paying close enough attention to him. On the contrary, they've noticed that on Thursday Mr. Obama called for Israel to make territorial concessions to some approximation of the '67 lines before an agreement is reached on the existential issues of refugees and Jerusalem. ''Moving forward now on the basis of territory and security,'' he said, ''provides a foundation to resolve these two issues in a way that is just and fair, and that respects the rights and aspirations of Israelis and Palestinians.''
"Mr. Obama neglected to mention these points on Sunday, hence the telling omission. But the essence of his proposal is that Israel should cede territory, put itself into a weaker position, and then hope for the best. This doesn't even amount to a land-for-peace formula.
"That's not all. Mr. Obama got some applause Sunday by calling for a ''non-militarized'' Palestinian state. But how does that square with his comment, presumably applicable to a future Palestine, that ''every state has a right to self-defense''? Mr. Obama was also cheered for his references to Israel as a ''Jewish state.'' But why then obfuscate on the question of Palestinian refugees, whose political purpose over 63 years has been to destroy Israel as a Jewish state?
"And then there was that line that ''we will hold the Palestinians accountable for their actions and their rhetoric.'' Applause! But can Mr. Obama offer a single example of having done that as president, except perhaps at the level of a State Department press release?
"What, then, would a pro-Israel president do? He would tell Palestinians that there is no right of return. He would make the reform of the Arab mindset toward Israel the centerpiece of his peace efforts. He would outline hard and specific consequences should Hamas join the government.
"Such a vision could lay the groundwork for peace. What Mr. Obama offered is a formula for war, one that he will pursue in a second term. Assuming, of course, that he gets one.
And see also "What Obama did to Israel" by Charles Krauthammer, 5/26/11
"The only remaining question is whether (President Obama's) perverse and ultimately self-defeating policy is born of genuine antipathy toward Israel or of the arrogance of a blundering amateur who refuses to see that he is undermining not just peace but the very possibility of negotiations."
To which I would suggest that it is not a question of either/or. Obama's policy likely is born of both antipathy and the arrogance of a blundering amateur.
In 2011 Presdient Obama's peace negotiation proposal utterly lacks realism given the historic record of constant attacks on Israel by its neighbors. Obama's proposal has a Neille Chamberlain quality - a wishful lack of reality to have peace at any price while ignoring all the many warning of imminent military peril.
The 1973 Yom Kippur war illustates the Israel's and the United States security problem best.
In October 1973, two Arab armies launched a surprise coordinated attack on Israel that came very close to being a successful first-strike attack that would overwhelm Israel's defenses before Israel could become fully mobilized. Other middle east countires joined in the attack including Jordan and Iran.
The United States immeadiately became invovled in the resupply of the numerous tanks and aircraft the were distroyed by the Egyptian and Syrian armies and air forces. Both the United States and The Soviet Union were on full world wide alert. The extreme serious nature of a massive surpise attack has great potential of a much wider world war.
One of the margins of victory and survival for Israel was the occupied land that were a defended wider buffer to Israel. Without this militarized buffer Isreal would have been overrun. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
The Roman empire lasted about a thousand years of occupying. The Ottoman empire lasted about 400 years of occupying. The Israelis are kinder than both and want to let their dominions go. But first the Arabs have got to stop wanting to annihilate the Jews in Israel. When that happens, we will have peace there.
As Golda Meier said, Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us. And that was in 1957. How prophetic.
There's the American Empire, not the Israel Empire. The unquestioning support of the U.S. govt. and many-not all-American Jews toward the Israeli government's policies is damaging to Israel not to mention Palestinians.
BN is not at all serious about peace. How do we know this? He told us, both in his words and his (in)action. Consider his supporters & allies as well: self-identified religious Jews in Israel believe that they have a biblical right to a "Greater Israel"; secular Jews in Israel, especially younger ones, are increasingly uninterested in real peace and are quite candid about this.
The only people around the world who listen to BN platitudes with any seriousness are Americans.
Any restraint is counterproductive. Israel must respond with extreme force. This is the only way to subdue the enemy. This is the enemy that wants to throw you into the sea.
I would gladly support a major offensive against Gaza or any other Arab Palestinians that are hurting Israelis in any shape or form.
Many years ago when Sharon was defense minister of Israel (while his wife was alive) his policy was, any violent acts by the Palestinian Arabs were returned with extreme force, and it worked.
Why have we changed tactics, have we become too soft, too worried about world opinion. We are paying for this behavior with Israeli lives and damage to Israel's economy. With this approach, matters will only get worse, as the past has proven. The Arabs treat concessions and lack of extreme response as a sign of weakness.
People of the world ultimately respect a government that protects its people at any cost. Not a government that causes its people to run to shelters constantly and more.
Let us go back to the old ways and respond with very extreme force, no restraint, no concession. You will see in the long run, it will bring a much more peaceful life in Israel.
Terror should be handled in the following manner. When a poison strikes the human body, the only way to address it, is to remove it and destroy it completely.
If the Arabs cannot control their own people, extreme or not, they will have to pay the price.
There is a divine statement that says "if someone comes to kill you, you should beat him to it, and kill him first.
Let us celebrate living in safety in Greater Israel.
Remember the Arabs are the occupiers.
Greater Israel belongs to the Jewish people for over 3,000 years.
King David fought many wars to bring peace to Israel; he did not use restraint at all, only extreme force.
The expanded Land of Greater Israel from Nile to Euphrates has enough territory to settle all the Israelites together with the strangers among them! There is an opinion that the entire population of the world could be placed in the state of Texas, which consist of 268,820 square miles or 696,200 square kilometers. By comparison, the Biblical Land of Israel is not "tiny" at all. Its borders will include the Eastern part of Egypt, Sinai, Lebanon, Jordan, island of Cyprus, part of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Syria, parts of Iraq and Turkey. It is estimated that the Promised Land is eight times the size of Texas. The population of all the children of Israel is much less than that of the whole world. It would be no problem to accommodate all Israelites on their Land. Especially, as the prophets say, all the Arab and Muslim enemy-nations surrounding Israel will have been defeated and expelled out of the Land. Their lands will be repossessed by Israelites.
"Those who laid you waste depart from you. They that swallowed thee up shall be far away" (Isaiah 49:17, 19).
The Qur'an 17:104 - states the land belongs to the Jewish people

Old depot in Hopkinsville, KY
I took care of two neighbor ladies' flowers and their seven dogs for several days over the past weekend, When the ladies arrived back home again, they insisted on taking me out to eat. We went to the Thai restaurant (the Main Street Grill on Ninth) in Hopkinsville .
After lunch, we stopped at the old L & N Depot, now the Pennyrile Arts Council building, and viewed the photos on exhibit. Three photographer friends have put together a show: "A Yank, A Canuck and A Southern Belle." (The Yank is Jeremy Easley, a native of Illinois; the Canuck is Judy Campbell, a native of Canada; and the Southern Belle is Nancy Stalls, a native of Murray, Kentucky).
I enjoyed the photographs and equally enjoyed looking around the old train depot. (It was built in 1892.) I've been in the depot before to buy tickets for the Alhambra Theater, but it's been a while. Out of respect for copyrights, I didn't do any closeups of the photos, but here are some general views around the depot.
The photography exhibit was held in the depot's southmost room. The windows in the east wall look out onto the platform and train tracks. A large door facilitated the loading and unloading of luggage and parcels.
On the opposite wall in the exhibition room, the windows look out onto the parking lot. With large windows on both the east and west sides of the building, the depot has an abundance of natural light. I didn't have to use a flash for these photos.
A setting of L&N dinnerware and a diner-car menu are displayed in a glass case in the lobby.In the reflection, you can see one of the neighbor ladies, making a call on her cell phone. She was arranging to purchase one of the photographs in the exhibit.
The Wikipedia entry for Hopkinsville's L&N depot says the ticket office connected to three waiting rooms -- the ladies' waiting room, the colored waiting room, and the general waiting room. One of the ticket windows can be seen in the photos at left.
The rooms in the north end of the building are used for offices. The depot has two of these little rounded-out rooms on its train-tracks (east) side. Photos of the building's exterior can be seen in a 2006 Prairie Bluestem post, "Hopkinsville's Railroad".

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Sophomore Kellie Cook grabbed two rebounds
in the final minute of a tie game, drew the fouls and poured
through five consecutive free throws to provide the winning margin
as Tennessee Tech outlasted Belmont Sunday afternoon, 61-56.
Tech's second straight road win allowed coach Sytia Messer's team to remain the only unbeaten team in the Ohio Valley Conference with a 3-0 for the first time since 2004. Belmont slipped to 1-3.
"I'm proud of Kellie for having 12 rebounds," Messer said. "When we played Lipscomb she had only one rebound and our staff challenged her to imporove her rebounding and she stepped up."
Kellie Cook snapped down 12 rebounds and scored eight points in the contest, which was close throughout. Her effort allowed Tech to own a 43-31 advantage on the boards, one of the key factors in helping the Golden Eagles overcome 20 turnovers.
Freshman point guard Briana Jordan led Tech with 17 points and added eight rebounds. Tacarra Hayes and Brittany Darling also tallied double digits. Hayes had 11 points, six rebounds, two assists and three steals. Darling finished with 10 points and three rebounds.
"Briana carried us in the first half," Messer said. "She did a good job running the offense and made good decisions.
I'm proud that our kids are 3-0," Messer continued. "We won two road games all last year, and we've matched that already this year. We have to get back to the drawing board and keep getting better."
Haley Nelson, an all-conference post player who had missed Belmont's first three games due to an eye injury, came off the bench to spark the Bruins, scoring a game-best 18 points and pulling down nine rebounds. She was the only Belmont player to net double figures. Cacy Burtnet scored nine.
The Golden Eagles led early behind some solid shooting, but couldn't shake the Bruins. Jordan sparked Tech with 10 points in the first half while junior Rachel Glidden his a pair of 3-pointers for six points. Darling had six points and three rebounds early on, but was whistled for three fouls.
Nelson, came off the Bruin bench for the first time this season after a preseason eye injury, and rallied her team to tie the contest late in the half. She scored 14 points on 7-for-10 shooting in 17 minutes of action.
When Tech went cold, the Bruins took advantage to sneak into a two-point lead at halftime, 31-29. Tech didn't score a field goal over the final eight minutes of the half.
The Golden Eagles also hurt their first half effort with 10 turnovers.
The beginning of the second half saw the contest remain close with neither team leading by more than three points. with 7:33 left in the game Tech took a 49-48 lead behind of pair of free throws from Hayes and would not trail the rest of the way.
Tech got nine of its final 12 points at the line as it finished out the day shooting 24-of-31 from the charity stripe (.774) en route to a 61-56 victory to improve to 3-0.
The Golden Eagles take a break from action for Thanksgiving, but return to the floor Saturday evening in Eblen Center when they host Tennessee Wesleyan in a 6 p.m. contest.

Allen Lessels' College Hockey: A Maine focus for WildcatsBy ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 23. 2014 10:16PM
DURHAM -- The level of urgency spikes up a bit for the University of New Hampshire hockey team in a two-game set against No. 20 Maine this weekend.
The Wildcats are coming off a tough series in which they dropped a pair of 3-1 games to Union, which moved up to No. 4 in the country with the wins. Worse yet, UNH lost two of its key performers for an extended period of time when junior defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk went down with a broken ankle and junior center Grayson Downing suffered a sprained shoulder.
Coach Dick Umile said van Riemsdyk, a first-team All-American last season and playing even better this year, will likely be out six weeks. Downing could be gone for three to four weeks.
Now comes Maine, starting with the annual Whiteout the Whit game at home on tonight at 7:30, followed by a game in Orono on Saturday at 7.
"This is crunch time, especially how the past weekend went and not being able to get a win," said UNH goalie Casey DeSmith, a junior from Rochester. "It stresses the importance of weekends like Maine and Notre Dame that are really huge for us coming up."
After Maine this weekend, Hockey East newcomer Notre Dame will be at the Whittemore Center for games on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 and Vermont is due in for two more on Feb. 7 and 8.
UNH is competing with all three teams for position nationally with an eye on the NCAA tournament as well as for home ice in the Hockey East tournament.
The Wildcats are 13-12-1 overall and 5-5-0 in Hockey East and have 10 games left, all of them league contests.
They are in sixth place in Hockey East going into the weekend and are a point behind fifth-place UMass-Lowell and two behind fourth-place Maine.
Maine is 11-8-3 overall and 5-3-2 in the league.
The top five teams in Hockey East earn a bye for the first round of the tournament and the top four get home ice for the quarterfinals.
The teams that rank No. 6 through No. 11 will square off in a one-game series in the first round.
"Single elimination," said UNH coach Dick Umile. "You prefer not to be in that. You can run into a hot goalie, home ice."
Teams at Nos. 6-8 will host the first-round games and winners move on to best-of-three quarterfinals hosted by the top four teams.
Senior defenseman and captain Eric Knodel helped the team overcome the loss of van Riemsdyk on Saturday night and Umile is looking for him and others to do it again.
"Eric Knodel's had a fabulous season and I thought on Saturday night that he really stepped it up," Umile said. "He was great."
Van Riemsdyk leads Hockey East defensemen in scoring with four goals and 19 assists for 23 points and will be difficult, at best, to replace.
"He might be the best in the country," Umile said. "The country, let alone Hockey East. He does a lot."

The terms "infection" and "disease" are not synonymous. An infection results when a pathogen invades and begins growing within a host. Disease results only if and when, as a consequence of the invasion and growth of a pathogen, tissue function is impaired.
An infectious disease is a disease that is caused by a microorganism, such as a bacterium, virus, or parasite, that is not normally found in the body and is capable of causing infection. Our bodies have defense mechanisms to prevent infection and, should those mechanisms fail, to prevent disease after infection occurs. Some, but not all, infectious diseases are contagious, meaning they can spread from person to person. Other infectious diseases can spread from animals or insects to humans, but not from person to person.
Infectious diseases are responsible for more than 25% of 57 million annual deaths worldwide. 2/3 of 9 million pediatric deaths yearly are from infectious disease. Some of those deaths could be prevented with vaccines. Some infectious agents are easily transmitted (that is, they are very contagious), but they are not very likely to cause disease (that is, they are not very virulent).(More)

Farro anyone?
Anyone know of good sources for whole grain farro (emmer, Triticum dicoccum). This is not spelt. Thanks.
Anyone know of good sources for whole grain farro (emmer, Triticum dicoccum). This is not spelt. Thanks.
Based on how they label it I suspect that their "farro" is really spelt.
I've ordered it from Market Hall Foods (http://www.markethallfoods.com/index.php?main_page=product_mh_info&cPath=11_28&products_id=92)
The quality is good but its about $8/lb which I think is highway robbery. They have a funny way of calculating shipping and I ended up ordering 3 packs of farro and one of polenta to get the shipping per pack to be reasonable (or some combination like that). I tried to get some from a local restaurant and they were quite nice about it but were offering to sell me a pound and they were really busy so I figured it wasn't worth it.
I'd love to find an affordable source though.
I bought Farro in small quantities from a local health food market last year, but the company name eludes me. It was quite pricey for a small bag.
However I do know The Passionate Gourmet does carry it in various forms. See the "order form" link on the left side of the page. I think I saw it on Amazon once too. I just found this link to a farm in Washington state that grows organic emmer, I must follow up with them myself!
The Purcell farms site mistakenly labels Farro as Spelt, a common error unfortunately. While Spelt is in the same family of grains: Einkorn, Emmer (Farro), Spelt, and Kamut, it is different in taste from Farro.
Now I've seen Farro on Italian food supplier sites, mostly wholesale, I've yet to see anything more than 2-5 pound bags.
Organic food shop, but at €5 a kilo for complete berries...??? That makes an expensive loaf. Grown locally, interesting. They also sell a Einkorn/rye loaf.
Mini O
€2 per kilo here (Austria) I found me a new favorite flour! :)
I think farro is more a culinary term than a botanical term and as such the meaning is not universally agreed upon. In Italy all 3 of the covered wheats may be referred to as farro, though emmer is by far the most common (depending what part of Italy you are in your may get different opinions about what "real" farro is). Sometimes the three are distingished as farro grande (spelt), farro medio (emmer) and farro piccolo (einkorn).
So yes, sometimes what you see sold as farro may be spelt, but that does not necessarily make it incorrect.
Yes, there's a big mess concerning farro here, as I wrote in another thread. Most of the times sellers don't even specify what they are sellling. What is sure is that if you buy it in grain 99% of the times it's emmer because spelt is not cultivated in Italy (or not in a significant amount); einkorn is nowhere to be found.
We've only recently started using "Farro" here during our bread workshops, because we were given some by an Italian participant. As you can see from the label on the left, translating the name causes problems. All I can say is that the grains are not the size or color of what we can get here as spelt. When cooked in, say, a rissoto, the flavor is much nuttier that spelt. Not much help here, I guess, but I am curious about the origin and definition of this grain.
Different landraces of emmer, spelt, and einkorn can vary in size quite a bit, and while the medio / grande / piccolo more or less matches the general tendency, there are spelts that are smaller than most einkorns or emmers.
Farro is also sometimes roasted, and that alters the color and brings out some nuttiness, so that does not rule out this being spelt. (BTW Anson Mills has a wonderful roasted-spelt farro: http://www.ansonmills.com/farro.htm. Their farro picollo is an einkorn.)
nicodvb is right though, that emmer is the more common farro in Italy. The figures I've seen from the Italian Ministry of Agriculture site 2000 hectares of emmer, and 500 hectares of spelt being grown. So unless they export all the spelt, it looks to me like more of a 1 in 4 chance of your farro being spelt.
But as far as I'm concerned they are all tasty and the individual landrace may matter as much to taste variation as the species, so it's probably not worth worrying about.
Btw, the package on the left does quite consistantly use the words for spelt not emmer in the translations. Dinkel and épeautre are German and French for spelt specifically, not emmer. The Spanish "El Farro" I'm not sure about.
it looks just like the emmer/dicocco I have at home.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. -- One day before the start of the club's 2014 preseason, the Chicago Fire confirmed Friday longtime midfielder Logan Pause would be returning to the Men in Red for a 12th consecutive season.
Earlier this offseason the 32-year-old midfielder's status as a player at the club was in doubt after having his contract option declined prior to the 2013 MLS Re-Entry Draft. In the end, Pause's ability to still contribute and influence in the locker room pushed Fire leadership to bring the two-time U.S. Open Cup winner back in 2014.
"From ownership on down, we felt that it was imperative to have Logan remain an important part of this club," head coach Frank Yallop said in a press release. "Logan has been an integral part of this team for the past 11 years, and he is a natural, respected leader."
"I'm incredibly blessed and grateful to Andrew [Hauptman], Frank [Yallop] and his staff for the confidence in bringing me back and wanting me to be around to help move things forward," Pause told Chicago-Fire.com.
"I feel like I have the same emotions as if I signed for the first time 11 years ago. I'm excited to get started with the guys and I'm just grateful for the opportunity to be able to play another year for this club and in front of these wonderful fans."
Selected in the third round of the 2003 MLS SuperDraft, the veteran defensive midfielder has averaged 25 appearances in his 11 seasons with the Men in Red. He sits second on the club's all-time MLS appearance list with 274 games played, trailing only newly-named Fire assistant coach C.J. Brown who has 296.
With the addition of Jeff Larentowicz last January, Pause did however see a drop in playing time in 2013. Still, he says he's re-signed to compete and expects to fight for his spot on the field this season as well as continue his role as a veteran presence in the locker room.
"I don't see my role changing much, if at all. My responsibilities on the field remain the same and that's to continue to try get out there and help our team win games. Obviously that comes with responsibilities in the locker room, with the guys around me to try and push them forward but I don't see much change in my role.
With his re-signing, Pause ties longtime MLS veteran midfielders Cobi Jones (LA Galaxy; 1996-2007) and Pablo Mastroeni (Colorado Rapids; 2002-2013) for the second longest consecutive tenure with one MLS club at 12 seasons.
Chicago Fire midfielder Logan Pause returns to the Men in Red for a 12th consecutive season on January 24, 2014
Again, the trio sits behind only Brown who spent 13 consecutive seasons with Fire from 1998-2010.
"To be mentioned with those sort of names is frightening to me," he joked. "Most of it I can just credit my great teammates and coaches I've had – people that just believed in me and stuck with me throughout the years. I don't take for granted that I get to play soccer for a living and to do it for the Chicago Fire is very special."
As for being reunited with Brown, Pause was delighted to see his former teammate of eight seasons return as an assistant coach under Yallop last month.
"I can't talk enough about the guy he is, the teammate he was and what he's meant to this club for so many years. What a great asset we're getting back. I know that his heart and soul, as is mine, is a part of this club. He's ingrained in the fabric since its inception and to get a guy like him back on the coaching staff is incredible for this club, the team and the players that will get to work with him now."

Louisville's upset string ends with NCAA title game blowout loss, yet Cards proud of their run
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
NEW ORLEANS – Shoni Schimmel smiled and hugged her teammates, almost as if she was celebrating, when the clock hit zero and Louisville had fallen hard to Connecticut in the women's NCAA championship game.
Perhaps she was practicing for next spring, when Louisville is bound to be back in position to make another tournament run — albeit a less surprising one.
"We did make this run at the end of the tournament and it's just going to continue into next season," Schimmel said. "We're just going to get better and grow as a team and learn from this."
UConn's 93-60 win Tuesday night was the biggest blowout in a women's NCAA title game, yet the Cardinals said they would not let it overshadow their memorable string of upsets that got them as far as they went.
"The run that we went on I think is remarkable and it's something I'll always remember," Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. "I told our players, 'When we walk out of this place, we're walking out with our heads high.'"
Louisville's run captivated fans in no small part because of moments of creative brilliance by sisters Shoni and Jude Schimmel that evoked "rez ball," the free-wheeling style of play they developed growing up on a Native American reservation in Oregon.
Against UConn, however, their repertoire of flashy passes and shots produced about as many misses and turnovers as points. The familiarity of playing a team from the same conference probably hurt more than it helped, Shoni Schimmel said.
"Playing in the Big East, you kind of know each other," she said. "They knew what to do to stop us, and that was kind of limit my touches and not really let me shoot."
With their eighth national title — tying Tennessee for most all time — the Huskies and coach Geno Auriemma prevented Louisville from joining UConn (2004) as the only school to win national titles in both men's and women's basketball in the same season.
Louisville men's coach Rick Pitino made the trip to watch the game, one day after his team won the NCAA championship against Michigan, and gave the women's team a pre-game pep talk before sitting a few rows behind them. There was a buzz back home in the Bluegrass State as fans wondered if there would be two titles to celebrate instead of just one.
After all, the women had knocked off Baylor in the biggest upset in tournament history, then added Tennessee to their list of victims before becoming the first No. 5 seed to reach the title game by beating Cal.
"I don't think anybody can argue that unfortunately we just came up one game short," Walz said. "But I'm proud of my players."
Even Auriemma had said he wondered going into the game if UConn was playing not just against Louisville, but some sort of karma.
"The only team that was better than us the last month was the University of Louisville," Auriemma said. "They did something I haven't seen done in the NCAA tournament."
Louisville looked ready to give UConn a tough game during the opening eight minutes, but the Huskies took control with a 19-0 first-half run and never looked back, stifling the Cardinals at every turn. Sara Hammond was the only Louisville player to reach double figures with 15 points. Shoni Schimmel finished with nine.
Antonita Slaughter struggled to hit 3-pointers, hitting only one after making six in the NCAA semifinal against California. Bria Smith's dribble drives were met with a stout wall of defenders. She hit the floor hard several times, and wound up with seven points, one game after scoring 17.
"You have to give credit to UConn," Jude Schimmel said. "It was like they were us in our Baylor game. Everything went right for them."
Walz had said leading up to the game that his team would have to play its best game of the season, even better than it did when knocking off defending champion Baylor and its 6-foot-8 star Brittney Griner.
Instead, Shoni Schimmel missed her first six shots and Jude Schimmel's third foul came with 9:21 still to go in the first half.
Shoni Schimmel, Louisville's leading scorer averaging better than 14 points, finished 3-of-15 shooting for nine points. Jude Schimmel scored seven.
Defensively, Louisville seemed powerless to stop Breanna Stewart, who scored 23.
"She's a tremendous athlete. She's a freak of nature," Hammond said of Stewart. "She's got a wing span that's close to Brittney Griner's, I think, and she's a hard matchup. She can shoot the 3, she can take you off the dribble or post you up, so she did a tremendous job."
Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis added 18 for UConn, including five 3s. Kelly Faris made four 3s and scored 16 points.
"They just made big shot after big shot," Walz said.
Yet Walz will have many of his players back. Shoni Schimmel and Slaughter are juniors, Hammond, Smith and Jude Schimmel just sophomores.
"We're not going to hang our heads. We did the unthinkable," Slaughter said. "So we're just going to work through the summer and just come back next year and get better."

For Chef Costa Magoulas, this is not the time of year to disregard ancestral custom.
For Chef Costa Magoulas, this is not the time of year to disregard ancestral custom.
"In Greece, Easter is the most important holiday and every family roasts the Pasha lamb," said Magoulas, dean of the hospitality and culinary management school at Daytona State College.
In what's becoming a tradition unto itself, The News-Journal again this year asked for an Easter dinner plan — complete with recipes — to be developed for readers by the college's teaching chefs. Magoulas chose to handle the task himself this year, so it's no surprise that lamb is on the menu. His recipe for Spring Lamb With Potatoes calls for either Australian or U.S. leg of lamb.
"I personally prefer the domestic lamb. It's not as strong a flavor, and the yield actually is better — more meat to bone, more of a beef taste to it," he said.
Staying on the Mediterranean theme, Magoulas complements his main dish with a side of oven-roasted vegetables tossed with feta cheese. Desiring something festive to start the meal, the chef offers a Crab and Avocado Salad fashioned into a colorful cocktail. A decadent cake that combines the three-milk richness of "tres leche" pastries with the comforting flavor combination of lemon and meringue is for dessert.
And, also in keeping with his heritage, Magoulas ensures that braided loaves of Easter bread are on the table. All of the dishes except that one are Magoulas' originals; he got the bread recipe from Katharine Pappas, a fellow parishioner at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Daytona Beach.
Crab and Avocado Salad
From Chef Costa Magoulas, Daytona State College; serves 4
1/2 cup red bell peppers, diced small
2 Roma tomatoes, cored and chopped small
1/2 small red onion, chopped small
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons cilantro, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons jalapeno peppers, seeded, deveined and minced (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pressure pepper
2 1/2 cups lump crabmeat
2 avocados, diced small, mixed with 3 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 cup sour cream
Mix together red pepper, tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, jalapeno (if using), salt and pepper; set aside.
In each of four 6-fluid-ounce martini glasses, layer 1/4 of the tomato mixture on the bottom, then avocado, then crab and top each with a dollop of sour cream.
Easter Bread
From Katharine Pappas, St. Demetrios Green Orthodox Church, Daytona Beach; makes 5 loaves
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, unsalted
6 large eggs, divided
1 cup whole milk, lukewarm
about 7 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
grated rind of 2 lemons
1/2 cup roasted almonds
3 packages dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
Cream sugar and butter thoroughly. Add 5 eggs and lemon rind and combine until smooth.
Dissolve yeast in lukewarm milk and add to creamed mixture. Sift 2 cups flour and salt add to batter. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size.
Add 4 cups sifted flour to formed dough. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth (if dough is sticking add a little flour).
Cut dough into egg size pieces roll 10 inches long and make braids. Roll braided dough into loaves and let rise in warm place.
When loaves double in size, brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with chopped almonds. Bake in greased pans at 350 degrees in a conventional oven for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
Spring Lamb With Potatoes
From Chef Costa Magoulas, Daytona State College; serves 6 to 8
4- to 6-pound boneless or bone-in lamb leg (Australian or domestic)
4 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
2 pounds russet or Idaho potatoes, peeled and quartered
juice of one fresh lemon
1/2 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons chopped oregano
1 teaspoon black ground pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups beef broth
2 small carrots and 2 stalks celery
1/2 cup red wine
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Using a sharp paring knife, make small slits 1/2 inch deep over the surface of the lamb. Cut garlic into small slivers and insert into the slits on surface.
Line a baking dish or pan with the carrots and celery. Mix the olive oil, rosemary, lemon juice, red wine, oregano, salt and pepper and rub on to the leg of lamb. Place lamb on top of carrots and celery and arrange the potatoes around it. Pour beef broth in bottom of pan. Cook at 325 to 350 degrees for about 60 to 90 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees for 15 seconds.
Serve on a large platter.
Oven-Roasted Root Vegetables Mediterranean
From Chef Costa Magoulas, Daytona State College; serves 6-8
1 large yellow squash
1 large zucchini
1 medium red onion
2 medium tomatoes
1 bunch asparagus, stemmed
1 red bell pepper
1 medium eggplant (leave skin on)
2 large parsnips (about 8 ounces), peeled
8 garlic cloves, peeled whole
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
8 kalamata olives, seeded, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut all the vegetables into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Toss all the vegetables, garlic, olives, olive oil oregano, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper in large bowl.
Place on baking sheet or roasting pan spreading them out to assure they don't steam while roasting. Roast the vegetables at 350 degrees until tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from oven and mix with feta cheese. Serve warm.
Lemon Meringue Tres Leche Cake
From Chef Costa Magoulas; makes 1 cake
For the cake (see note):
baking spray with flour for cake pans
2 1/2 cups enriched and bleached cake flour
1 2/3 cups sugar
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk, divided
2/3 cup all-vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
For Tres Leche glaze:
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup half-and-half
For lemon filling:
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon lemon peel
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup water
For meringue:
5 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup Karo light syrup
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat two 9- inch round cake pans or a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan with no-stick baking spray with flour.
Combine cake flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Add 3/4 cup milk and shortening. Beat with electric mixer at medium speed 2 minutes. Add eggs, 1/2 cup milk and vanilla. Beat 2 minutes. Pour batter into prepared pan(s).
Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire rack 15 minutes. Remove cakes from pans to cake plate. Punch holes in cake with toothpick.
Whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk and the half-and-half in a 1-quart measuring cup. Once combined, pour the glaze over the cake.
To make the lemon filling, in a medium saucepan add sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon juice, butter, lemon peel and egg yolks. Mix mix well with water. Cook over medium heat until thicken. Ice the top of each cake with lemon sauce.
To make the meringue, mix egg whites and cream of tartar in mixer with beaters, until egg whites reach a soft peak, In a small saucepan, heat Karo white syrup until it begins to bubble. With the mixer running, pour the hot syrup in a thin stream over fluffed egg whites. Beat until the egg whites are stiff and glossy. (If using two round pans, stack into layers.) Spread the meringue over cake.
Note: Two boxes yellow pudding cake mix prepared according to package directions may be substituted for cake recipe.

Its native peoples called it Alyeska, "the Great Land," and no wonder: Alaska has many eye-popping and mind-boggling attributes to richly justify that name. Consider it has 586,000 square miles (equivalent of one-fifth of the lower contiguous 48 states). It has more than 3 million lakes larger than 20 acres, 39 mountain chains with 17 of the 20 tallest peaks in North America, more than 3,000 rivers, 1,800 islands, 100,000 glaciers and a whopping 33,904 miles of coastline.
A great way to explore America's "Last Frontier" is via a voyage through the Inside Passage roundtrip from Seattle or Vancouver visiting quaint seaside towns such as Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway and Sitka. Other itineraries include a glacier route/Gulf of Alaska voyage northbound or southbound that takes in an even greater amount of Alaska's coastline and points of interest such as Hubbard Glacier. Most cruise lines also feature land packages pre- or post cruise to visit highlights such as Denali National Park, with its views of Mount McKinley.

2013 Audi RS 5 Values
Select a 2013 Audi RS 5 trim level
2013 model year changes
For 2013, the Audi A5 and S5 family of luxury and performance-oriented coupes and convertibles gets a styling refresh, with a new front fascia and a new bumper and headlamp design. Inside, the A5 and S5 get a new instrument cluster and 3-spoke steering-wheel design, (the S5's features a racing-style flat-bottom version). Perforated Milano and Fine Nappa leather surfaces are new, with oak and aluminum trim. There's also a new black headliner option, and several new exterior colors have been added to the lineup. Feature-wise, Audi parking plus is new this year, incorporating a rear-view camera system and acoustic warning system; also making its debut in the A5 family is Audi adaptive cruise control, packaged with a side assist system, with warning lights in the side view mirrors warning of vehicles in the driver's blind spot. Audi Connect, with its first factory integration of Wi-Fi in this class of vehicle, is new to the A5 and S5; the system includes Google voice search and other real-time information services. The 333-hp supercharged V6 is new to the S5 for 2013, and later in the year the 2.0T engine will be E85 flex-fuel capable. All A5 and S5 models now also have an electromechanical steering unit, for more precise control, with some feedback.
Competitive comparison
Strong and responsive yet fuel-efficient powertrains; stylish interior; nicely proportioned exterior; excellent quattro all-wheel drive system; advanced infotainment and connectivity; great soft-top arrangement in the cabriolet
Special features for 2013
The 2013 Audi A5 and S5 are a family of compact luxury coupes and convertibles. While the powertrains and some of the performance hardware is different between the two models, much of the same features are carried over, and they have essentially the same seating space and design--except Coupes have seating for five and Cabriolets can seat four. The A5 lineup offers a good alternative to the BMW 3-Series, Cadillac CTS Coupe, and Infiniti G37 Coupe, and especially in S4 form, it offers one of the best compromises between ride, comfort and performance of any of these models. And with the new Audi Connect system and revised MMI controller, and its live Google Earth maps, it has one of the best (and best-looking) infotainment systems. The top-performance RS5 Coupe can get to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds, according to Audi.
Sporting revised exterior and interior styling, the 2013 Audi RS 5 is a compact luxury sports coupe, performance variant of the A5. The RS 5 is powered by a 4.2-liter V8 engine that delivers 450 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque, for a 0-60 time of 4.0 seconds. Transmission options consist solely of a 7-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. Equipped with permanent all-wheel-drive, the RS 5 fuel mileage falls within an EPA estimated range of 16 mpg city to 23 mpg highway. Features include LED turn signals, adaptive xenon headlights, 19-inch alloy wheels, 12-way power seat, tilting panorama sunroof, heated front seats, three-zone automatic climate control, 14-speaker sound system, sports rear differential, carbon fiber inlays, and adaptive cruise control. Safety is comprised of parking sensors, dual-stage front airbags, thorax airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), electronic brake distribution (EBD), and anti-lock braking (ABS). The RS 5 is backed by a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty.

I remember how I always pitied my friend with cystic fibrosis, then I found Gregory. After I found Gregory I learned to see my friend as a light for me to follow it's rare beauty and for me to believe in
Reading the comments already posted here make me want to cry. I too discovered one of your songs by accident and that was when I looked up your biography and found out you're no longer with us. Your voice is lovely, there's something so special about your smile and the brightness in your eyes. You'll remain in my heart always. xoxo
I heard this angelic voice in a French radio station that my friend gave me. As I listen to your voice, I can feel the emotion of the song, word by word. I'm sad that I only became a fan of you in this year, but, I will never forget how your voice and songs can take away my stress and sadness. I sing with you in your songs even if I only know little french but you gave me inspiration too to continue being fluent in french. You will forever be in my heart Gregory and I pray for you everyday. I know you are in Heaven right now, singing with angels and at peace. You are my inspiration as well..you were truly an angel on earth and in Heaven..Rest in peace Grégory Lemarchal.

I feel sad that I only discovered your voice in 2009 and that was only by chance, I feel so blessed to have your music I fall asleep to it most nights. My friends think Im strange as I am Australian and dont speak any French, but its not the words that I listen to its your precious voice so sweet. My only regret is that I did not get the opportunity to follow your career from the begining. I take comfort in the songs we do have and your parents must be so proud of your achievements despite your illness. Sleep with the angels gregory xx

An interception by Johnstown-Monroe High School's Nick Sadinsky with 56 seconds left in the Licking County-Muskingum Valley All-Star Football Game capped a strong showing by the defensive back and his Johnnies teammates and ended a three-game losing streak for the local all-star contingent.
An interception by Johnstown-Monroe High School's Nick Sadinsky with 56 seconds left in the Licking County-Muskingum Valley All-Star Football Game capped a strong showing by the defensive back and his Johnnies teammates and ended a three-game losing streak for the local all-star contingent.
Licking County held on to beat Muskingum Valley 21-14 on June 28 at Zanesville's Sulsberger Stadium, posting its first win in the series since 2009.
Muskingum Valley leads the series 17-15.
"The defensive line did a great job with the pressure and I was able to come down with the ball," Sadinsky said of the game-clinching interception, which occurred at the Licking County 40-yard line on fourth-and-9. "It feels great to come down here and win."
The previous time Sadinsky and his six Johnstown teammates on the Licking County roster - Daniel-Mark Almendinger (WR/LB), Adam Carter (RB/LB), Dakota Crawford (OL/DL), Justin Mooney (OL/DL), Tim Sayer (OL/DL) and Tyler Thompson (QB) - had played at Sulsberger Stadium was last fall, when the Johnnies lost to St. Clairsville 37-29 in a Division IV regional final.
"I came into this game with my (six) friends from my Johnstown team and my coaches from Johnstown," said Sadinsky, who also saw time at wide receiver and caught a 25-yard pass from Thompson to set up a 3-yard touchdown run by Licking Valley running back Drew McArtor with 1:27 left in the second quarter, giving Licking County a 13-8 lead at halftime. "This game will be in the back of my mind for a long time."
Muskingum Valley took a 14-13 lead with 8:53 remaining on a 62-yard pass from Zanesville quarterback Steele Gaumer to Zanesville Maysville wide receiver Justin Wilson, but Licking County answered with an 80-yard scoring drive capped by a 48-yard run by McArtor with 5:53 left.
"We knew we had to score there," said McArtor, who finished with 110 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 16 carries. "I got great blocking, especially from (Johnstown fullback) Adam Carter. He got the big block. It was just a great way to finish things off."
Thompson added the two-point conversion on an option run to close the scoring. He finished with 70 yards rushing on 16 carries and 55 yards passing and was named Most Valuable Player for Licking County.
"I was a little nervous (before the game)," Thompson said. "I was thinking about the loss here the last time and what we needed to do to redeem ourselves. We wanted to win it for Licking County and start a streak of our own."
Watkins Memorial fullback and linebacker Jake Sanders scored the game's first touchdown on a 1-yard run with 8:15 left in the first quarter.
"I was pretty excited to get in there," he said. "It was my first (play) in the game, and it was my only time as fullback. It was great to get a chance to (score)."
Johnstown coach Mike Carter improved to 3-0 in the annual game. He coached Licking County in its previous win, 13-7 in 2009, and was the coach when Licking County pulled out a 20-14 overtime victory in 2003.
"Our No. 1 goal was to win and do it the right way and to play with a team attitude," Carter said. "It's not about winning or losing, but what (the players) remember, what they take from this game, their last high school game."
Dresden Tri-Valley running back Austin Jones was named the MVP for Muskingum Valley, rushing for 110 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries. He scored on a 39-yard run in the first quarter.
Jones accumulated most of his yardage in the first half, as Muskingum Valley was limited to 9 yards rushing over the final two quarters. Leading the Licking County defense were linemen Steven Clum of Licking Heights and Tucker McKenzie of Granville and linebackers Adam Hunt of Heath, Clayton Plute of Granville and Sanders.
"Besides the one big pass play, we played very well on defense in the second half," said Clum, one of 11 players selected for the game who will play for Otterbein University. "I had a couple of sacks and I know Tucker and Hunt made several big plays, too. It was a great way to finish high school and prepare for college for a lot of us.
"It was a great experience because I had a lot of fun and met a lot of new people. It was beneficial to play with new people just like we'll be doing in college. Most of the kids on our team played against one another. I wish (the Licking County League, which starts this fall) would've begun last season because that was pretty cool."
The Licking County roster also included Licking Heights' Willie Carter (OL/DL) and Taylor Curtiss (QB) and Northridge's Thomas Williams (RB/LB). Carter and Curtiss were unable to play in the contest because of other obligations.
"We had a good group of (Johnstown) kids, but the kids from the other schools came in and made a commitment to work hard and win this game," coach Carter said. "It was a county-wide win. The thing we tried to promote from day one was that everyone will play a role, and that's what happened. Everyone who played did their part and worked as one. They bought in and it was a special group of kids that can mold like that in a 10-day period.
"... Every school that had a player on the roster was represented well because every player made a meaningful contribution."

Alabama is heading back to the national championship game by a mere 4 yards.
AJ McCarron threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to Amari Cooper with 3 minutes, 15 seconds remaining, and the No. 2 Crimson Tide barely held off No. 3 Georgia 32-28 in a Southeastern Conference title game for the ages Saturday in Atlanta.
After an apparent game-clinching interception by Alabama was overturned on a video review, Georgias Aaron Murray completed a 15-yard pass to Arthur Lynch, a 23-yarder to Tavarres King and a 26-yarder to Lynch, who was hauled down at the Alabama 8 as the clock continued to run.
Georgia was out of timeouts.
Instead of spiking the ball and gathering themselves, the Bulldogs snapped the ball with 9 seconds to go. Murray attempted a pass into the corner, but it was deflected at the line, winding up in the arms of Chris Conley out in the right flats.
Surprised to get the ball, he slipped down at the 4.
Georgia couldnt get off another play. Alabama celebrated as confetti fell from the Georgia Dome roof. The Bulldogs collapsed on the field, stunned they had come so close to knocking off the team that has won two of the last three national titles.
The Tide will get a chance to make it three out of four when they face top-ranked Notre Dame for the BCS crown Jan. 7 in Miami.
Im ready to have a heart attack here, Alabama coach Nick Saban said.
For the Bulldogs (11-2), the consolation prize likely will be a spot in the Capital One Bowl, though they certainly looked like a team fully deserving of a BCS bid. Georgia coach Mark Richt said his team had the play it wanted at the end, but Alabama ruined it by getting a hand on the ball.
I told the guys I was disappointed, but Im not disappointed in them, Richt said. Theyre warriors. We had a chance at the end. We just didnt get it done.
In a back-and-forth second half that looked nothing like a game in the defensive-minded SEC, the Crimson Tide trailed 21-10 after Alec Ogletree returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown in the third quarter.
Alabama rallied behind a punishing run game, finishing with 350 yards on the ground, an SEC championship game record. Eddie Lacy rumbled for 181 yards on 20 carries, including two touchdowns. Freshman T.J. Yeldon added 153 yards on 25 carries, also scoring a touchdown.
But the Tide won it through the air.
With Georgia stacking the line, McCarron fooled the Bulldogs with play action and delivered a perfectly thrown pass to Cooper, who beat Damian Swann in single coverage.
Georgia played like a champion, too.
The Bulldogs punted the ball back to Alabama with 2:25 left, relying on their defense to finally stop the Tide. Georgia used up its final two timeouts, forced a punt and got the ball back at its 15 with 1:16 remaining.
Alabama broke into a celebration when a pass down the middle for Conley was deflected, and Dee Milliner appeared to make a diving interception. But the replay showed the ball hit the ground, so Murray and the Georgia offense trotted back on the field for their last gasp.
And what a gasp it was.
Just not quite enough.
Todd Gurley led Georgia with 122 yards rushing, including a couple of touchdowns. Murray finished 18 of 33 with 265 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.
McCarron was 12 of 21 for 162 yards with an interception.
No. 7 Kansas State 42, No. 23 Texas 24
MANHATTAN, Kan. Collin Klein threw a touchdown pass and ran for two scores and No. 7 Kansas State beat No. 23 Texas for its third conference title in 117 years and a trip to the Fiesta Bowl.
The Wildcats never had played for a conference championship in their last game at home and had never had a player end the regular season in such close contention for the Heisman Trophy as Klein.
In front of their sixth sellout in seven home games, the Wildcats (11-1, 8-1 Big 12) tied their team record for victories in a season and matched Oklahomas Big 12 record.
No. 12 Oklahoma 24, TCU 17
FORT WORTH, Texas Landry Jones threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns, Damien Williams ran untouched 66 yards for a score, and 12th-ranked Oklahoma held on to win at TCU and clinch at least a share of the Big 12 title.
TCUs fourth-down pass to the goal line in the final minute was well-defended and fell incomplete.
The Sooners (10-2, 8-1 Big 12) won their eighth consecutive Big 12 game since a late-September loss to Kansas State.
Oklahoma, whose only other loss was to No. 1 Notre Dame, is in good shape for the final at-large BCS berth even after K-States win.
TCU (7-5, 4-5) lost all four of its Big 12 games at home despite winning four on the road.
No. 12 Florida State 21, Georgia Tech 15
CHARLOTTE, N.C. James Wilder Jr. ran for two touchdowns as No. 13 Florida State held off Georgia Tech to capture its first Atlantic Coast Conference championship since 2005 and earn a trip to the Orange Bowl.
It was Florida States 13th ACC title.
The heavily favored Seminoles (11-2) built a 21-6 lead at the half and held on to win, helping to erase some of the sting from last weeks 37-26 loss to their bitter rival, No. 4 Florida.
Wisconsin 70, No. 14 Nebraska 31
INDIANAPOLIS Montee Ball ran for 201 yards and three touchdowns, and Wisconsin rushed for the 539 yards to rout No. 14 Nebraska in the Big Ten title game.
The Badgers (8-5, 4-4 Big Ten), the first team to reach the Rose Bowl with five losses, are the first Big Ten team to make it in three consecutive years since Michigan in the late 1970s.
They also tied Texas record for most points in a conference championship game.
No. 16 Oregon State 77, Nicholls State 3
CORVALLIS, Ore. Storm Woods ran for two touchdowns in the first quarter, and No. 16 Oregon State put up its highest point total ever, routing Nicholls State in a game postponed by Hurricane Isaac.
The Beavers surpassed their 76-0 win over Willamette in 1931.
Oregon State (9-3) started playing its substitutes against the lower-division Colonels in taking a 35-0 halftime lead. Markus Wheaton caught 12 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown and sat out the second half.
Officials from both schools decided to put off the Sept. 1 opener when the storm bore down on the Colonels campus in Thibodeaux, La.
The Beavers had a complete turnaround from their 3-9 finish last year. Oregon State possibly is headed to the Holiday Bowl in San Diego on Dec. 27, and representatives from that bowl and the Alamo Bowl were in attendance. The team will learn its destination today.
Baylor 41, No. 24 Oklahoma State 34
WACO, Texas Lache Seastrunk rushed for 178 yards, including a 76-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, and Nick Florence passed for 296 yards as Baylor upset No. 24 Oklahoma State.
Baylor (7-5, 4-5 Big 12) has won at least seven games in three consecutive seasons the first time the Bears have done that since 1949-51.
Seastrunks long scoring run gave Baylor a 41-27 lead with 5:11 left in the game.
The sophomore burst through the middle and slowed down about 25 yards shy of the end zone. Seastrunk stumbled into the end zone and was down on the turf before limping off with an apparent right leg injury.
J.W. Walsh rushed for two touchdowns for Oklahoma State (7-5, 5-4).
No. 25 Boise State 27, Nevada 21
RENO, Nev. Joe Southwick threw two touchdown passes to lead No. 25 Boise State to victory over Nevada, earning the Broncos a share of the Mountain West Conference title and ensuring their nations best seventh consecutive 10-win season.
D.J. Harper ran for 130 yards for Boise State (10-2, 7-1), and the Broncos defense put the clamps on a Nevada offense that was averaging 38 points per game.
Stefphon Jefferson ran for 139 yards and a touchdown, and Cody Fajardo passed for 203 yards and ran for 81 for the Wolf Pack (7-5, 4-4), who lost four of their last five games after starting the season 6-1.
Matt Miller caught seven passes for 127 yards, including a 52-yard touchdown from Southwick that put Boise ahead late 24-7.

This is a portion of a sugar application form filled out by Mrs. Caryll M. Crafts of South Deerfield, Massachusetts. This form most likely accompanied her ration book of five-pound home canning sugar stamps, or coupons, that she used for the purchase of sugar for the canning of fruits. She, or another member of her family, had to sign each coupon as it was used, and enter the serial number of her ration book number four. Ration books often included patriotic rationales and justifications for the rationing system. This notice was printed on the back of the sugar application form filled out by Mrs. Caryll M. Crafts of South Deerfield, Massachusetts. It states five reasons why American families needed to "get along with less sugar" and a warning that they should not "apply for more sugar than you actually need for home canning" so they could "help make our war short sugar supplies last all year."

How to Replace a Cell Phone LCD Screen:
- Cell phones always seem to find new ways of getting broken, and the screens are usually the most susceptible to physical damage. Whether the phone was dropped, stepped on or just simply stopped working, it is possible to replace the cracked or defective screen with a new one. Replacing the LCD screen on a cell phone is a complicated process because of the size of the parts, but it can be done at home as long as you have the necessary tools
- Power off your cell phone completely by holding down the power button for four or five seconds. Turn the phone over and remove the back plate. Slide your fingernail underneath the battery and pop the battery out of the phone
- Locate the SIM card if your mobile phone is a GSM style phone. Pull back the metal covering over the SIM card and then remove the card. Set it aside
- Removing the RF grommet,Find the plastic RF grommet at the bottom of the phone near where the battery was located. Grab the grommet with a pair of tweezers and remove it from the phone

- Metal plate, Pull out the screws along the edges of the phone using the Torx screwdriver. Take the metal plate off of the phone
- Flip the phone over so that you can see the LCD screen. Slide the edge of a flat head screwdriver in between the seam of the plastic cover on the bottom of the phone. Wiggle the screwdriver up and down gently to unlock the catch underneath the plastic cover. Lift the entire plastic cover up and then off the phone

Coach Eric Swedberg disappeared in the center of the Auburn High School varsity baseball team at Monday's practice.
The 25 boys and two coaches, standing and silent, gathered in a circle around him, as he talked about their Central Massachusetts Division 2 win Saturday and the game against Western Massachusetts champions Greenfield rescheduled for this afternoon.
"I can't stress enough how proud I am of you not getting rattled," he said in a voice that wasn't raised but commanded the room. "We can ride that discipline into tomorrow."
After deciding with the players whether to keep the rotation or change it, the players broke seamlessly into four groups in the gym and worked on skills, often helping each other out.
Any teacher would be proud to have a classroom that functioned so well. Clark University professor Eric DeMeulenaere and Vassar College professor Colette N. Cann, both of whom were coaches and teachers before becoming professors, believe coaching was so good for their teaching that they've written a book about it. James E. McDermott, a part-time faculty member at Clark who is a former English teacher and coach in the Worcester public schools, and Chad R. Malone, a Clark graduate, former Worcester public school teacher and coach and current teacher at Premier Elite Athlete's Collegiate in Ontario, also contributed sections.
The book, "Reflections from the Field: How Coaching Made Us Better Teachers," came out this spring. It is aimed at teachers but is divided into narratives and commentary. The narratives, in particular, are interesting reading for anyone. "The stories are interesting, and they're full of humanity. Some of them are even funny," Mr. McDermott humbly opined in an interview.
The stories are entertaining but also show how lessons from the playing fields helped the teachers take on classroom challenges. Mr. McDermott showed his players that while some rules are too stupid to follow — like one that required a baseball team to station a player outside the fence to retrieve balls during every game — there are ways to disobey rules without drawing discipline. He also stood up to a prejudiced ump in a way that changed the ump and restored some dignity to his players. Coaching taught him the power of earning students' trust, and that, in turn, brought dividends in the classroom, according to the book.
For Mr. Malone, it took some time to realize that the honesty and clarity he used with his team on the basketball court were also the best ways to reach students in the classroom. If a team suffers a 90-6 loss, people should be outraged, not offering condolences. The same is true in the classroom, he said.
"I find that so many educators are willing to accept losses for the kids they teach," he writes.
Ms. Cann, a former volleyball coach, said she learned as a coach that the best teams were those in which each player was integral to the team as a whole. But at the start, she said, they also had to develop a certain toughness.
That was true in the classroom, too, she found, where some students were "missing the requisite aggressiveness necessary to win at the academic game."
Mr. DeMeulenaere wrote his dissertation on students who transformed their academic identity and found that "sports played an integral role in that transformation of who they were as students." His section notes that building individual students' ability to lead helps the class as a whole.
The book might help some teachers transfer excellent coaching to excellent teaching, he said. "A lot of coaches that are doing amazing stuff ... their teaching is horrible," he said. Sometimes they "don't ever make the translation. ... I had to learn about these lessons myself, and it took a while for me."
Ms. Cann said the book, which grew out of a panel discussion, was a gift in that it gave her a chance to reflect on what she had drawn from being a coach.
At Auburn High, Mr. Swedberg had finished a day of teaching Spanish before baseball practice started.
During the last class of the day, he kept up an almost constant banter in English and Spanish. Trying to get their juices flowing, he offered extra credit for anyone who could finish a worksheet first, and encouraged the somewhat listless freshmen and sophomores to collaborate.
