A national survey of how states are doing, and where they're heading, finds the emergence of two distinct groups. One group is boldly taking steps to improve their business climate and get their fiscal affairs in order to spur job creation and give taxpayers a break. In the meantime, the other group, as if stuck in a rut, continues on a last-century trajectory that leads to economic decline and fiscal disaster.
Colorado should by all rights be leading the first group, given all the apparent advantages we enjoy, including a governor, John Hickenlooper, who came to office with real business experience and a reputation for pragmatic centrism. Yet a state that should be leading the pack is running with the herd, and seemingly on the verge of falling ever further behind – and a big reason for that is Hickenlooper's steady drift in the wrong direction and open embrace of failed policies.
Last session he backed legislation, SB252, a bill that increases green energy standards for rural electric co-ops that will lead to increased utility bills for many Colorado families and businesses. That legislation was just the latest effort to impose costly, ideologically driven green energy mandates on utility companies.
That can't help but hurt Colorado's business climate and competitiveness – not to mention Coloradans themselves. And he's now the most prominent supporter of a nearly $1 billion per year tax hike on the ballot this fall. The governor's billion dollar tax hike will punish the middle class, raising rates by as much as 27 percent, all to support a largely reform-resistant public school establishment that isn't giving parents good value for the tax dollars they're spending now.
And those are just exhibits 1 and 2 in the case against the former centrist. Hickenlooper also endorses a vast new expansion of our Medicaid program, as part of Obamacare, without explaining how he intends to pay for it in the long run. You see, while the federal government is providing funding for the first three years, Colorado taxpayers will be on the hook for the enormous $858 million cost of expanding the state Medicaid program. The governor couldn't muster even a single veto during the 2013 legislative session, as bad bill after bad bill emerged from a statehouse in which majority status bred a certain arrogance and extremism.
Contrast Hickenlooper's record with what other governors are doing in forward-leaning states.
Former rustbelt relics Indiana and Michigan have announced to the world that they are open again for business by approving Right to Work Laws.
By doing the same, Colorado would send a message that it stands proudly for worker freedom. Indiana is also leading the way with tax reform, passing legislation that brings its income tax rate down to the second lowest in the nation. North Carolina recently enacted historical tax reform that lowers both the personal and corporate income tax rate and completely repeals the estate tax. Wisconsin reduced the rate of each income tax bracket and even eliminated one bracket altogether, as part of a broader tax reform package. And Kansas also jumped aboard the tax reform train this year, by lowering its income tax to 2.3 percent for the first $30,000 of income and 3.9 percent for additional income.
There are plenty of other examples out there but readers get the point. Our supposedly business-friendly governor, although a nice enough guy, simply isn't taking action to keep Colorado competitive. Meanwhile, the Governor's attempt to "rebrand" Colorado with a new logo, a progressive tax structure and higher utility rates is simply not working for Colorado families and businesses.
In Gov. Hickenlooper's nearly three years in office, he has developed somewhat of a reputation for avoiding major policy fights. So I give him credit, I applaud him for finally wading into the debate over higher taxes, and letting Coloradans know he fully supports the new billion dollar tax plan. The problem is that on this issue, like so many others, Gov. Hickenlooper has lost touch.
He has lost the pragmatic centrism that made him so appealing not all that long ago.

Suggest a really long shoe horn?
Answers Given
Answers Favorited
I have a bad back, can't bend, is there a long shoehorn?0
Yes, there are long shoe horns, the best being made from Bamboo. The longer style means that you wont have to bend to slip on a pair of shoes and using a shoe horn helps prolong the life of your shoes as there is less risk of damaging the heel area. You can find them online on Amazon and other places if you Google search for "Long Bamboo Shoe horn" Avoid getting them from IKEA unless you don not care about bad products.
In fact Cool Tools reviewed the IKEA long shoe horn here: http://kk.org/cooltools/archives/004266.php
I've got the same problem with reaching my feet. I go to Grocery Outlet here in Tucson and they have some off-the-wall products marked down enough to make buying them seem like not a totally bad idea, and that's where I got my ShoeDini. I forget what I paid for it. It telescopes from about 21 to about 30 inches and there's nothing hip or elegant about it but it helps me get my shoes on when I need it.
You can get it from Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Shoe-Dini-Telescoping-Horn/dp/B0039JSDPS
If it ain't your cup of tea, there are lots of others there in the "Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed" section.
If you go to rural china anytime soon, I recommend the very long shoe horns they make from water buffalo horn. They are very cheap and perfect.
I have one I really like that is sturdy and long-lasting and expensive. But it is SO worth it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KJT1HO/ref=wms_ohs_product_T2 Because of the spring at the bottom it is more maneuverable than regular long shoe horns, ending a lot of frustration. Over the lifetime of the shoe horn, the price is justified in my book.
I picked one of those bamboo ones from an Asian supermarket. You can probably find one these in the household item isle. Check there, it costs ~$5.
The long one in this set is 23 inches. Made of metal by a Swedish household products manufacturer Linden. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=348252 You get two shorter ones to give away.

If you are trying to describe a phenomenon rigorously, correlate aggregate parameters in such a way that all the units cancel out. For example, don't study the effect of changing pipe diameter, which has units of distance. Study changes of pipe diameter divided by pipe length, which has units of distance divided by distance. The result is dimensionless. These correlations are more resilient to changes in materials and scale. — David R. Throop, chemical engineer, Austin, Texas

BEAVERTON, Ore. (AP) — Hundreds of loved ones are remembering the 19-year-old student killed by a gunman at a small Seattle college earlier this month as a profound thinker who loved to dance.
At Portland-area native Paul Lee's memorial service Sunday, Seattle Pacific University President Dan Martin also officially announced the Paul Lee Foundation, The Oregonian reported (http://bit.ly/1kESgdu ). It will seek to boost resources for those with mental illness.
The attorney for Aaron Ybarra, who's charged with murder in the June 6 shooting that injured two, has said Ybarra has a history of mental health issues.
At a church in Beaverton, Oregon, Martin read tributes from professors and students, who said Lee was laid-back, complex and often seen dancing.
Lee's older brother, Albert, said at the service that the 19-year-old was genuine and compassionate and taught him "love can comfort all."

"Simone has been with me throughout my last two pregnancies and shown me that it's possible to work out while pregnant. Applying her "mummy modifications," she kept me fit throughout my pregnancies and then helped me shed the baby weight. I feel fitter now than I did 10 years ago!" —Luciana Barroso Damon, Wife, Mother, and Philanthropist
"Simone truly helps her clients get healthy from the inside out. In Body By Simone, she shows women everywhere that the secret to getting healthy and looking great isn't about deprivation or spending hours on a treadmill-it's about building strength, moving joyfully, and nourishing yourself in mind and body." —Frank Lipman, MD, leading integrative physician and author of Thrive
"Working out with Simone never feels like work. The fun factor is high, yet you get results. I don't think I've ever felt such a sense of joy when exercising! Simone has the personality, the discipline, and of course the body to inspire and push you. I cannot get enough!" —Naomi Watts, Actress

Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Gun-rights debate to enter next phaseBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
April 05. 2014 11:21PM
We haven't heard the end of the legislative debate over one aspect of gun ownership.
As originally proposed, Senate Bill 244 would have required the names of people with court-determined mental illness to be added to the federal list of those prohibited from purchasing guns - a list that licensed dealers use for background checks.
The bill drew immediate criticism from advocates for the mentally ill and disabled, who said the focus should be on whether a person is dangerous, and from some gun rights groups concerned about firearms confiscation. But other gun groups backed SB 244, saying it would provide a path to restore Second Amendment rights to people whose mental illness had been cured.
Under the bill, those prohibited from possessing guns because of mental illness would be able to use an annulment procedure that could lead to their names being removed from the federal prohibition list. Today, the annulment procedure is all that remains of the bill, which will go before the House Judiciary Committee for a hearing Wednesday at 10 a.m. in Room 202 of the Legislative Office Building (LOB).
Sen. David Watters, D-Dover, sponsored SB 244.
"I'm very troubled by the course this legislation has taken," Watters said Friday. "I find it very difficult to ask the House to support just (the annulment) piece of it."
Gov. Maggie Hassan believes the bill does not address public safety issues.
"Governor Hassan believes that one of our most pressing public safety challenges is the fact that New Hampshire does not provide the current background check system with information about individuals who should not be sold a firearm due to serious mental illness - even though that information is supposed to be included under federal law," said Marc Goldberg, Hassan's communications director. "She has serious concerns about SB 244 as amended, as the bill does not even include a measure to study how to address this issue."
Additionally, Watters said, the state needs an annulment process for mental illness issues outside of the gun issue.
"I am very much committed to finding a way to help those with mental illness and disabilities relieve themselves of that stigma and annul those records," Watters said. "I'm also committed to Second Amendment rights and the need to do (National Instant Criminal Background Check System) reporting in this area."
Former Sen. and current Pro Gun NH President Bob Clegg said he believes all the stakeholders should continue to talk. He noted that those denied their guns because of mental illness have no recourse even after they have been cured and have the backing of their counselors and health care providers.
"It has been put out as a gun bill, but it helps anyone who has a situation - not just gun rights - to annul records," Clegg said. "The court says, 'I'm sorry but there is nothing I can do to help you.' The court is not saying 'No'; the court is saying go talk to the Legislature, so here we are."
Clegg added, "This bill is a way for people to go get help when they need it, and when you come back, you can come back at 100 percent and be who you were before."

Gas Tax: The decision of whether to increase the gas tax is now in the House's hands.
The Senate approved a 4.2 cent increase last month on a 15-9 vote.
Normally the House would have two committees review the bill, with two public hearings, two committee votes and two House votes. Instead, however, the Public Works and Highways Committee and Ways and Means Committee will have a joint hearing on the bill Tuesday at 10 a.m. in Rooms 210-211 of the Legislative Office Building. The committees will also have a joint work session Wednesday and a joint executive session to decide their recommendation Tuesday, April 15.
Having one public hearing cuts down on the publicity bill opponents can generate through news coverage and advertising. Truckers and groups such as Americans For Prosperity are bound to fire up the opposition.
The bill is on the fast track for a vote this month to give lawmakers as much time as possible between the vote and elections later this year.
The House did vote last year to increase the gas tax by 12 cents, but it was gunned down in the Senate by a large margin. The conventional wisdom is always to deal with taxes in the first year of the two-year term so voters may forget what you did by the next election.
House Speaker Terie Norelli, D-Portsmouth, said last week she believes the House will approve the bill.
"Everyone is noticing how horrific the roads are this year," she said. "A top priority has to be to maintain our roads. It's good for the state's economy, it's good for businesses and for public safety."

Billboards: A bill seeking to allow liquor advertising on billboards went through one of the most interesting series of votes this session.
The Senate last month took six votes before finally passing the bill, 13-11. Earlier votes - one seeking to pass the bill, one to kill it and one to table it - deadlocked, 12-12.
After a lunch break, senators again recorded a 12-12 vote to table. Then, on another vote seeking bill passage, Sen. Sam Cataldo, R-Farmington, switched his vote to show him in favor.
The House Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee will hold a public hearing on the bill at 1 p.m. Wednesday in Room 302.
Bill supporters don't want the House to amend the bill in any way because doing so would send it back to the Senate. The state's beer distributors are fighting the bill with everything they have, but some key House members back the proposed legislation.
This is a battle that is not likely to be resolved until the final days of the session.
- - - - - - - - - - -
Gambling: What is likely to be the final public hearing on casino gambling this session will be held before the House Ways and Means Committee on Thursday at 9 a.m. in Rooms 202-204 of the LOB.
Senate Bill 366 passed the Senate on a 15-9 vote last month after sitting on the table for two months while senators waited to see what the House did with House Bill 1633, which was killed, 173-144, last month.
SB 366 would allow two casinos to share 5,000 video slot machines and 240 table games, producing an estimated $168 million for the state.
In the Senate, the bill's prime sponsor, Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, D-Manchester, added the regulatory structure and regulations contained in HB 1633, developed by the Gaming Regulatory Oversight Authority. And he added $25.2 million in annual revenue sharing for cities and towns that was proposed as an amendment in the House but never came up after the bill was killed
Will the sweeteners be enough to sway the 20 or so votes needed to turn the vote around? Probably not, and he will also be bucking the anti-gambling sentiment of some key House members, including Norelli, who has never supported casino gambling
Rep. Susan Almy, D-Lebanon, who chairs Ways and Means, has also been a longtime opponent of expanded gambling and reiterated her position last week.
"We have had so much open debate in the House on this for the last two years," Almy told a reporter. "I'm sick of it."
"I read her statement," D'Allesandro said. "How can I have a fair hearing when the chairman says she is sick of it?"


text: My typical night with my 21 mo ds looks very similar. He did sporadically start sleeping in his toddler bed for the first part of the night a few months ago. This was entirely his choice. He was nursing next to me in bed when he up and moved to his bed and asked me to nurse him there. He's done it maybe a dozen times since. It's a very small step but it gives me confidence in my decision not to ever consider sleep training. He'll get there when he's ready. I get plenty of rest and I love the cuddles at night (only time he's peaceful).

About Girls Clinic Lacrosse
The objective is to teach the girls basic skills such as scooping the ball from the ground, shooting at the net, moving/holding with the ball in the crosse (cradling), passing the ball and catching the ball while learning the basic rules. The girls may not learn all of these skills well by the end of their time in Clinic but they will definitely have fun and retain quite a bit of the skills they do pick up.
The girls will practice for about an hour 3 times a week (Tuesdays/Thursdays in the late afternoon and Saturday in the morning) from mid-March until the beginning of May. At the beginning of May they will begin to participate in scrimmages with other girls of their age from various other organizations. These scrimmages are built around 6 on 6 play with target nets instead of goaltenders and coaches as referees. The scrimmages, managed by Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks, take place on Tuesday and Thursday early evenings and replaces the practices for those days. The Saturday practice will continue. Scrimmages are played at local fields with Generals Highway Corridor Park being our home field. The season runs until the end of May at which time there are trophies and a party.

BAY ST. LOUIS (WLOX) - They weren't the story-tellers many expected to see in the aftermath of Katrina. But, down they came, a group of high school students from Ohio ready to capture and share South Mississippi's story. It unfolded in a half-hour documentary called "Pieces of Paradise."
"It was just amazing to me that they were high school students with the magnitude and depth of what they were doing," said Liz Bosarge, Bay High School teacher.
Bosarge was featured in the documentary. She spent time showing the students around the devastated community during their seven day visit.
"They cried just like they were the ones who had lost everything. I took them to my property, and they cried with us," said Bosarge.
Hoover High School in North Canton, Ohio, adopted Bay High following Hurricane Katrina. Students raised more than $14,000 to help the students of Bay High. Instead of just donating resources, students donated their skills as aspiring broadcast journalists to reach out to the people of Bay St. Louis.
Their efforts, according to former principal Marca Alexander, created a special connection with students attending Bay High at the time.
"I think it was really touching to the kids, because they could tell the story on their terms. It really gave them an outlet and really a voice beyond the local community," said Alexander.
Bosarge said the students' presence got Bay St. Louis students traumatized by the storm to open up.
"I know for experience I had three of my athletes who rode out the storm and did not talk about it. They finally opened up. Their dad told them (the Ohio students) that had it not been for them, he didn't know if he could have ever gotten his daughters to talk about it (the storm)," said Bosarge.
Students like Brittany Wasko say they appreciated the opportunity to be there for the students of Bay High. She still speaks fondly of the bonds formed during the trip.
"It was the experience of a lifetime. Not many kids can say they've gotten a chance to do something like this. Just making that student to student connection was very special," said Wasko.
It's a connection, former Bay High student, now college freshman Chloe Harvill also felt during that seven day visit.
"I think it made everyone feel really special. I mean there were a lot of people who didn't understand how bad the storm was. And to have a group of kids who came down who got it. They didn't just understand it was a bad storm, but they wanted to share with people in their community and share with other people through their skills," said Harvill.
Upon completing the documentary, the students returned to Bay St. Louis. Nearly 500 people came out of their FEMA trailers to watch the half-hour documentary and share stories after the viewing. For Tom Wilson, a video production teacher who came down with the students, it was a poignant moment.
"For me that was the most impactful moment for me. I realized that through this medium we teach everyday we truly can have an impact, and that's what it's all about. From there, it's just been relationships we've been able to form and maintain with people even five years later," said Wilson.
Their bonds, former principal Alexander said she's thankful the communities were able to create and maintain.
"The ladies and gentlemen from Hoover High School will always be remembered by those students they worked with and the people in this community. I think they did the whole community a favor in that video," said Alexander.
The student journalists fulfilled their goal in telling the untold stories of Hurricane Katrina's wrath in South Mississippi. They held a premiere for the documentary back in Ohio. The film was also aired on public broadcast channels.
The students were also nominated for a regional Emmy for "Pieces of Paradise."

Christoph Waltz to portray Gorbachev
- Bang Showbiz
- 15 October 2012
Christoph Waltz is set to play Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 'Reykjavik', about the end of the Cold War
Christoph Waltz is set to play Mikhail Gorbachev in a film about the end of the Cold War.
The 'Water For Elephants' actor has signed up to play the Soviet leader in 'Reykjavik' opposite Michael Douglas, who will play US President Ronald Reagan in the Mike Newell-directed picture.
The film tells the tale of the meeting between the two leaders in the Icelandic capital in 1986.
Production starts on the picture - written by 'Becoming Jane' scribe Kevin Hood - in March 2013, with filming set to place in Iceland and Germany.
The talks themselves actually collapsed at the last minute, but the meeting pre-empted the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty which led to the demise of The Cold War.
Austrian-born Christoph has a number of pictures lined up for release later this year and early 2013, including 'Django Unchained', 'Epic' and 'The Zero Theorem'.
He was last seen in 'Carnage' alongside Jodie Foster and Kate Winslet, and films including 'Inglorious Basterds' and 'The Green Hornet'.

About Mateo López
Mateo López draws the viewer in with visual expressions of anecdotes and experiences. His narratives, autobiographical and fictional alike, unfold through drawings and objects meant to spark associations. For instance, a paper-cut diorama of a workshop in a shoebox tells the story of a Colombian shoemaker finding success in Mexico (Sleeping Box, 2007). His work often blurs the distinction between artistic production and presentation and includes a performative element, for instance setting up a working studio inside a gallery (Inside and In Between, 2006) or outfitting his Vespa with a portable studio for a journey across Colombia and exhibiting his journal entries, sketches, and photographs along the way (Motorcycle Diaries, 2007). One critic noted that Lopez's investigation of 'truth' "allows us to examine the internal reality of objects."

A Fellini reference on this site is just about as obscure as, well, anything else found in the archives since this site first went live-ish in September 2010, but... I remember just the same. Fourteen years ago, maybe to the week but more likely within a month if we're tossing horseshoes and hand grenades around the backyard here, the pilot tape for a little show called jackass was tossed in a briefcase, handcuffed to the wrist of Loomis Fall, and delivered to the MTV development office of John Miller in Santa Monica, California. The show was the brainchild of Johnny Knoxville, Jeff Tremaine, and Spike Jonze, and it grew out of a fun dumb world we all knew and loved to live in. It was the little joke that could, did, and even went on to the big screen—again, and again, and again—and the unintentional four-year plan made for some of the best and most memorable years of my life, each project a freight train of family reunion craziness that you never wanted to end, any and all derailments included. For me, the next stop has and always will be the fantasy Twilight Zone 'hood that holds the promise of absurdly good times just around the bend, where the only thought ever is to have a good time all the time... "Next stop, Willoughby!" —Sean Cliver

A new law in metro Atlanta will ban breastfeeding a child older than 2 in public areas as part of a public indecency ordinance, reports WSB-TV, a local ABC affiliate.
On Monday evening, in a misguided effort to prevent public nudity, a new public indecency ordinance was passed in Forest Park, Georgia, a small city about 9 miles south of Atlanta. According to the new law, women cannot publicly breastfeed a child older than 2 years of age. City manager John Parker said of the law, "It sets up a process whereby we can try to control nudity throughout the entire city," and called it a proactive step.
Plus: Nursing in Public: Should Moms Cover Up?
Call me crazy, but I have a hard time equating breastfeeding in public with nudity or indecency. Regardless of whether or not a mom covers up while nursing in public (and let's be real, here: that is nigh-impossible when breastfeeding an active toddler), I just don't see how it's possible to make the leap to nudity. I mean, I don't know any moms who strip down naked to breastfeed, regardless of the venue, do you?
Plus: Public Breastfeeding—Finally a Happy Story!
And then there's the matter of what medical organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP) have to say about extended breastfeeding. For example, the WHO recommends breastfeeding up to 2 years of age or beyond, and the AAP recommends that, "Breastfeeding should be continued for at least the first yearof life and beyond for as long as mutually desired by motherand child… There is no upper limit to the duration of breastfeedingandno evidence of psychologic or developmental harm from breastfeedinginto the third year of life or longer." I think I'd rather take any medical advice regarding my kids and how I feed them from the WHO or the AAP, not the Forest Park City Council.
Plus: Public Breastfeeding Now Protected in Taiwan
And finally, I wonder just how Forest Park plans to enforce this new law. Must breastfeeding mothers carry a copy of their child's birth certificate with them to prove that they are under the age of 2?
What do you think of this law banning public breastfeeding for kids over 2?

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Inspector General
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
We audited the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) as of September 30, 2005, and 2004; the related Consolidated Statements of Net Cost, Changes in Net Position, and Financing; and the Combined Statement of Budgetary Resources for the years then ended. We have issued our report thereon dated November 2, 2005. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Bulletin 01-02, Audit Requirements for Federal Financial Statements.
In planning and performing our audit, we considered EEOC's internal control over financial reporting by obtaining an understanding of the agency's internal control, determining if internal control had been placed in operation, assessing control risk, and performing tests of controls to determine auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements. We limited internal control testing to those controls necessary to achieve objectives described in OMB Bulletin 01-02. We did not test all internal controls relevant to operating objectives as broadly defined by the Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act of 1982, such as those controls relevant to ensuring efficient operations. The objective of our audit was not to provide assurance on internal control. Consequently, we do not provide an opinion on internal control.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control over financial reporting that might be reportable conditions. Under standards issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, reportable conditions are matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal control that, in our judgment, could adversely affect an agency's ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data consistent with management assertions in the financial statements. Material weaknesses are reportable conditions in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statement being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. Because of inherent limitations in internal control, misstatements, losses, or noncompliance may nevertheless occur and may not be detected. We noted no matters involving the internal control and its operation that we considered to be reportable conditions as defined above.
Status of Prior-Year Internal Control Weaknesses
In the 2004 report on internal control, we described a matter involving the financial reporting process that we considered to be a material weakness. EEOC had not established an effective quality assurance system to verify the work of individuals preparing financial statements and footnotes. EEOC resolved this material weakness before it prepared its FY 2005 financial statements.
With respect to internal control related to significant performance measures included in Management's Discussion and Analysis, we obtained an understanding of the design of internal control relating to the existence and completeness assertions, as required by OMB Bulletin 01-02. Our procedures were not designed to provide assurance on internal control over reported performance measures and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion on such controls.
We noted other nonreportable matters involving internal control and its operation that we will communicate in a separate management letter.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of EEOC management, OMB, and Congress. It is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Larry Bowa is back, nearly a decade after he was fired as manager.
Pete Mackanin, who was dismissed a year ago, is back.
Steve Henderson is back — but he never left.
Wally Joyner was asked back, but declined.
Rod Nichols and Juan Samuel are in limbo.
Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg named Bowa, a man who influenced his Hall of Fame career significantly when the pair was a double-play combo for the Cubs, his right-hand man as bench coach. Bowa was the Phillies manager for four seasons prior to Charlie Manuel's reign and all but confirmed when he was in Philly last month that he would like to be on Sandberg's staff if and when the interim tag was removed from his job title.
"Put it this way: If I ever did come back, I'm not going away from the East Coast," Bowa said last month. "I just like the style of play around here, I like the atmosphere out here. It's a different atmosphere. I know the Dodgers are playing good, but I've seen them play bad and there's no one in the stadium. The atmosphere is always good. New York it's good, Boston it's good."
Mackanin's return comes as a slightly bigger surprise, considering he was the bench coach from 2009-12 and was fired a year ago during a shakeup to Manuel's staff. Mackanin will serve as third-base coach.
Henderson returns as hitting coach, but Joyner — whom Dom Brown described as "a gift from God" in spring training, prior to a breakout seasons for the outfielder — declined to return in a shared role as hitting coach with Henderson.
Nichols is said to be on the short list for the pitching coach position made vacant when Rich Dubee's contract was allowed to expire. Nichols was brought up from his developmental position to serve as bullpen coach an last season and has been well respected by homegrown pitchers like
Cole Hamels for years, but there has been a conversation inside the organization to make significant changes to the way the Phillies groom pitchers from top-to-bottom. The Phillies relieved minor-league pitching coordinator Gorman Heimueller of his title in August, and the choice of his successor could play into how the Phillies choose Dubee's replacement.

I-5 bridge across Columbia 'functionally obsolete' but safe, ODOT says
PORTLAND, Ore. - After the bridge over the Skagit River in Washington collapsed Thursday night, it begs the question whether the Interstate 5 bridge connecting Portland to Vancouver could collapse, as well.
The short answer from the Oregon Department of Transportation is "our bridges are safe."
Just like the Skagit bridge, the I-5 bridge over the Columbia River is classified as "functionally obsolete." But according to ODOT, old does not mean unsafe.
The I-5 bridge southbound lanes opened in 1917, making it 96 years old. It's the oldest Interstate bridge in the area and it gets the most attention from ODOT.
Full time crews maintain the bridge. It goes through a detailed inspection every two years.
The last thorough inspection was just last summer.
It is categorized as "functionally obsolete." That sounds bad but according to ODOT that does not mean the bridge is unsafe. It means it was built to outdated construction standards: narrow lanes, narrow shoulders and not built for the volume of traffic these days.
ODOT says the I-5 bridge over the Columbia River is safe. And it declined to comment any further about the Washington bridge collapse on Thursday night because it's too early to tell if anything about that bridge collapse will affect how ODOT analyzes our bridges.

There is no doubt that the month of September is all about style. From September issues to the start of Fashion Month, there is no time like the present to really fall in love with fashion and personal style all over again.
The best way to do it differs from person to person, but we're big fans of taking it old-school with a shiny, new fashion book. Set aside a weekend, brew a cup of tea, and cozy up on the couch with one of these new releases. These reads are full of the eye candy you expect and also offer tons of insight into the industry, tons of entertainment, and practical lessons that you'll find yourself relying on for years to come (and not just as a prop for your coffee table — although you'll definitely want to display them, too).

Each line of the Lord's Prayer gives us insight as to why we are pro-life.
"Lead us not into temptation." Every temptation is a lie, which makes something evil look good. Among the most masterful temptations of the evil one is to make the killing of a child seem better than the birth of that child. This is the lie that leads each day to thousands of abortions.
As we pray, "Lead us not into temptation," we keep in mind the need to protect all pregnant mothers from the deception of abortion. We also pray against the temptation to be silent and passive in the midst of this holocaust. Sins of omission are the most frequent sins, especially in regard to the culture of death. As we pray "lead us not into temptation," we resolve to say more, do more, and sacrifice more for life!
"Deliver us from evil." In asking this, we are not asking to be delivered from some vague force or bad luck. Rather, we are asking to be delivered from the influence and power of a real person, the devil, also known as the evil one. His kingdom of death has been defeated, and so his power is limited, but he still seeks to lead us astray.
When we pray to be delivered from the evil one, we are praying to be delivered from the culture of death, and to stay faithful to Christ's Kingdom of Life. We are praying that we will not be deceived by the false promises of the evil one, who presents abortion as a solution to a problem, though it is no such thing.
"For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever."
The Lord's Prayer culminates with these beautiful words which, in the Catholic tradition, we pray at Mass shortly after the rest of the prayer. In "The Gospel of Life," Pope John Paul II wrote that human life is always a good because it reflects the glory of God. God is glorified when human beings live, because they are made in his image and likeness. In attributing all glory to God, therefore, we acknowledge the infinite value of life.
All power, furthermore, belongs to the Lord. Jesus said he had the "power" to lay down his life. That is the power of love, by which we sacrifice ourselves for the good of the other person. Abortion, instead, sacrifices the other person for the "good" of oneself. Abortion is the opposite of love. The Lord's Prayer reminds us what real power is.
"Amen." St. Paul proclaims that Christ is the Amen, the yes, to all the promises of God. Abortion is just the opposite. It is a big "no" to God's plans for the child who has been conceived, and for all of us who are called to love that child rather than kill him.
The Lord's Prayer is, indeed, the model for all prayer, and it is the model for all our striving for a Culture of Life!

Missed chances scuttle Kendrick's solid start
PHILADELPHIA -- J.A. Happ lost his job in the Blue Jays' rotation before the season started because of a 20.57 ERA in four Spring Training starts and back issues, which ultimately led him to the disabled list.

PHILADELPHIA -- J.A. Happ lost his job in the Blue Jays' rotation before the season started because of a 20.57 ERA in four Spring Training starts and back issues, which ultimately led him to the disabled list.
He made two of those Grapefruit League starts against the Phillies, who picked up seven hits, five walks and scored five runs against him in just 3 2/3 innings.View Full Game Coverage
"We faced him a lot this spring," Phillies center fielder Ben Revere said following Monday's 3-0 loss to the Blue Jays at Citizens Bank Park. "We thought we could get out there and get after him."
Happ made his first start of the season Monday, after returning from the disabled list last month as a seldom-used relief pitcher. He had thrown just 4 1/3 innings this season and had not pitched since April 23. The Phillies traded the left-hander to the Astros in July 2010.
He looked just fine against the Phillies, throwing five scoreless innings.
"I do like coming back here," Happ said. "Some of my favorite baseball memories are from there. So this park, stadium and fans are pretty special. It's great to come back."
It helped that the Phillies played without Jimmy Rollins, who did not start Monday after tweaking his right groin Sunday. Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg also started right-handed hitters Jayson Nix and John Mayberry Jr. at third base and left field, respectively.
Galvis, Nix and Mayberry finished the night hitting a combined .126 (12-for-95) with one double, two home runs, seven RBIs, nine walks and 33 strikeouts on the year. Put Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick's 1-for-11 season into the mix, and 44 percent of the team's starting lineup Monday finished with a combined .122 average.
The Phillies still had chances, but they stranded 11 runners and went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position as they faltered in their fourth attempt this season to improve to two games over .500. Happ stranded the bases loaded in the second and left runners on first and second in the third. He retired seven of the final eight batters he faced following a two-out walk to Marlon Byrd in the third.
Byrd hit a leadoff triple in the sixth but was thrown out at the plate after tagging from third on a fly ball to right. The umpires reviewed catcher Josh Thole's blocking of the plate, but ultimately, the out call stood.
Perhaps the momentum would have changed if Byrd had scored there. Instead, the Phillies have not scored a run since the first inning Sunday against the Nationals.
Kendrick allowed seven hits, three runs and three walks and struck out four in seven innings to drop to 0-3 with a 3.58 ERA.
The Phillies skipped Kendrick's turn in the rotation last week following Wednesday's postponement against the Mets because of rain, which meant he had not pitched since April 24, when he allowed two runs in 5 2/3 innings in a victory over the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. The Phillies wanted to keep Cliff Lee, A.J. Burnett and Cole Hamels in turn to face the Nationals over the weekend.
Blue Jays shortstop Jose Reyes hit Kendrick's third pitch of the night to right field for a solo home run. Melky Cabrera followed with a single to left-center field and scored when a ball dropped in front of Mayberry, just inside the left-field line, to make it 2-0.
The Blue Jays added another run in the second to take a 3-0 lead.
It has been a rough road for Kendrick. He is in the midst of an eight-game losing streak, dating to Aug. 11, 2013. He has a 4.78 ERA (40 earned runs in 75 1/3 innings) in that 13-start span, although the Phillies' bullpen has blown a win for Kendrick three times, and his 2.63 run-support average in the first 12 starts of that stretch ranked fifth-lowest in baseball.
"The record is kind of out of your control sometimes. You just want to go out there, take the ball every fifth day, give your team a chance to win, make your starts and be healthy," Kendrick said. "That's the main thing. Obviously, you want to win the game, that's why you play, but some of those as a starting pitcher are out of your control. So keep battling, stay after it."

TIX supports the arts community with a variety of professional services including box office, media relations support, and social media promotion, all for a nominal fee.
In spring 2011, TIX extended its role to connect audiences with Edmonton's visual and craft artists and began operating a retail space, taking over the operations of The Edmonton City Store. The retail space features a wide range of unique, handcrafted products including pottery, jewelry, photography, fabric arts and more. TIX also showcases books from local authors, music by regional musicians, and historic prints from the City of Edmonton Archives.

When Marc Folco, an outdoor writer for Massachusett's Standard Times newspaper, saw a challenge from an anti-trapping reader earlier this month, he accepted. And it was a victory for trappers.
The reader, Dawn White, or Acushnet, Mass., wrote into the newspaper in opposition to the movement to remove the ban on trapping in the state. The letter was published on Dec. 14. Here is an excerpt:
Here we go again with the call to bring back trapping. Did we forget
that the people of Massachusetts voted to ban this cruel and inhumane
practice? And it should stay banned — permanently!
But she didn't stop there. She issued a challenge to the state's trappers:
If these so-called rubber-jaw traps are painless (letter, "Bring back
trapping to control coyotes," Sept. 11), or any trap for that matter, I
want to see a trapper put his hand in one. Let's see how much it
doesn't hurt.
This outdoor writer is not a trapper, but he is a hunter and
conservationist and knowledgeable enough about trapping to accept the
challenge and demonstrate that the traps truly are humane and not the
heinous devices purported by the animal rights drama queens. So I got a
coyote-size rubber-padded trap and went to The Standard-Times office to
have the demonstration filmed by S-T videographer Nick Tavares.
And here's the predictable result:
It's not nearly as painful as slamming your fingers in a car door and
not even as painful as pulling a hair out of your nose. I didn't have
the urge to chew my arm off and it's been six days since then and no
gangrene has set in and I have not starved to death, debunking the
myths and misinformation that they are cruel and inhumane. And while my
hand was in the trap nobody said, "let's get him," and came to attack
(A hat tip to Wildlife Control Supplies Blog for WCO's for leading me to the story and video)

The SNx4HC165 devices are 8-bit parallel-load shift registers that, when clocked, shift
the data toward a serial (QH) output. Parallel-in access to each stage is
provided by eight individual direct data (A–H) inputs that are enabled by a low level at the
shift/load (SH/LD) input. The SNx4HC165 devices also feature a clock-inhibit
(CLK INH) function and a complementary serial (QH)
Clocking is accomplished by a low-to-high transition of the clock (CLK) input while SH/LD
is held high and CLK INH is held low. The functions of CLK and CLK INH are interchangeable. Because
a low CLK and a low-to-high transition of CLK INH also accomplish clocking, CLK INH must be changed
to the high level only while CLK is high. Parallel loading is inhibited when
SH/LD is held high. While SH/LD is low, the parallel
inputs to the register are enabled independently of the levels of the CLK, CLK INH, or serial (SER)

In hindsight, I should have live blogged from the Digital Editors Network autumn meetup but it was less about the journalism for me and more about the fact the Macbook Pro wouldn't fit in my handbag. Oh, to be a girl. Plus it was already being live blogged here.
But I did tweet!
Old fashioned journalism and a brain for business
So, after a talk about truth telling and a lively demo involving spoon and a blow torch, Marc Reeves, ex editor of the Birmingham Post, talked about TheBusinessDesk.com, a business news service in the North West and West Midlands which reports the latest from the business world via its website and daily emails. And 8.20am is the best time to send said business email, says Marc.
The site is tagged 'tomorrow's news today' which Marc confesses is cheesy but true. Operating much like an evening newspaper does, his team of journalists are often first to deliver the business headlines with the morning email.
He also says the emails drive 80 per cent of traffic to the site and that users have a short dwell time. But when delivering news to busy people, this is to be expected, he says, and doesn't regard it as a problem, for him or the 70,000 registered users; they come, they glance at the headlines and they head off again.
"We do what we have to do," he says, "which isn't spend time writing the indepth features we'd sometimes like to. We're a niche site and have to meet the needs of our consumers."
Of course, the site makes money through advertisising and while Marc started by saying his talk wouldn't be about innovation and strategy, it was about an online business start-up that was growing and contining to grow.
Where's the drama? Set the editors free!
Next up was journalist and multimedia strategist Grig Davidovitz via Skype who made some salient points about how we now consume our news and what we expect when we consume it via different platforms.
"The kindle is not about the kindle, it's about the experience of reading books," he said. The kindle is wherever your eyes are – an actual kindle, or a kindle app on the iPad oriPhone.
He told the story of John Analog and John Digital and how each consumed their news throughout the day, the first via newspapers, magazines and TV broadcasts, the latter via social media, RSS and websites. The great thing about today, he said, is that everyone can access your story. But the flip side is that you're competing with everyone.
And so onto the three Cs:
- Choice (which channel)
- Consistency (achieving the same level of service across channels)
- Continuity (a seamless experience between channels)
These are the three factors to bear in mind when creating news across different channels. "The web isn't just about content, like Starbucks isn't just about coffee," he said. "It's all about the experience."
A lot of online news sites look boring because they imitate the traditional newspaper template – there's too much information to consume and in the online world, we want it quickly, succinctly and then to move on to the next thing. So the Huffington Posts succeeds in breaking away from the boring, for example the iQuit headline and one-sentence Steve Jobs story which told the reader everything they needed to know, at a glance. Impact and drama, "free the editors!" says Grig.
We're still braver in print, using images to tell a story, snappy headlines and not hundreds of words – yet we're slower to do that online. Editors need to exploit the best part of the story as simply as possible and not be afraid to break the template, says Grig.
So to create a cross-platform experience, you need to:
- Highlight the best elements of the story
- Show the drama – big headlines, images with impact etc
- Different templates for different platforms, what works on the web won't work on a smartphone
Live blogging attracts a bigger audience
And last but not least was Paul Gallagher, of the Manchester Evening News, a newspaper which has seen a positive response to its live blogging efforts which bring communities into the conversation or story.
Whether it's the 2010 cold snap, summer 2011 riots or Man City winning the FA Cup, MEN's live blogs get huge followings and all reporters have the skills and ability to live blog. And while some were slow to start, says Paul, they all now enjoy the experience and the reader response.
MEN covers council meetings via Twitter (after a bit of battling with the council) which makes them more accessible to constituents and more lively for the reporter covering them. They now live blog from 14 council across the patch.
"We aim to cover the news as best as possible, not hog it all for our newspaper," says Paul. "We get the responses, the follow ups but the most important thing when live blogging is to report what's happening as it happens."
When the paper live blogged the recent riots, traffic went off the scale with 1,277 tweets, 5,000 comments, 34,000 words and 180,000 views.
But the paper didn't live blog until the riots started, it didn't act on rumours. Paul says they didn't want to incite rioting by reporting rumours, they simply held back until the first brick was thrown. They later used infographics to report where rioters lived, as they poured court data into Google maps reports, tying offenders to some of the most deprived areas of the city.
A live blog increases dwell time 20-fold, said Paul, who uses Cover It Live as its platform. As for monetising? They're not quite there yet but currently looking into advertising opportunities around live blogging to match audience appeal with income.

Hi all,
I feel like I've sort of been running around chasing every possible source of our problems...and it's time to take a breath and regroup.
A quick summary of us: my daughter is 3 months old (today!). I started out with an oversupply and was coached to block nurse to regulate it. I did that for several weeks and my daughter started to become fussy during nursings. After emailing with Dr. Newman, it seemed apparent that my "flow" had slowed too much for her liking and his suggestion was to increase my supply, thereby increasing the flow. Domperidone was his suggestion for that.
In the midst of all of that communication, in working with a great IBCLC, I've also realized that my daughter is mostly chomping and pinching during feedings, not sucking/drawing the milk out strongly. The majority of the milk she drinks is during letdowns or because I'm constantly doing breast compressions and squeezing the milk out for her.
I've started taking Dom (and more milk plus tincture) have more milk available for her, but I'm at a bit of a crossroads with it. I'm taking 2caplets times a day, which is more than my prescription was written for, but less than Newman recommends. So, I either need to stick with the dose of the RX I have or order more from overseas, which I feel a bit nervous about. I haven't seen much increase yet from 3 days of the Dom. I'm also pumping after feedings about 3-4 times a day, in addition to breast compressions during every feeding.
Our IBCLC thinks there's a chance she has a slight posterior tongue tie (iBCLC admits that those are not her area of expertise) and is checking around our area to see if anyone would treat it. So, that may be the source of her weak suck/latch.
Long story short, I really don't know where to go from here. If there is a tie and we can get it clipped, that's obviously what we'll focus on. If not, is it possible to teach a baby to use her tongue properly? The LC says there is very little peristaltic movement...just chomping. And, as hard as I try, she very rarely latches on deeply. So much of her nursing is chompy, pinchy nipple feeding. I'm embarrassed that we're just now dealing with this, but in her earlier weeks she was gaining great and I had (and have) no pain at all, so I figured all was ok.
Thoughts? Advise? Thank you!

Rachel McAdams Not As Beloved As We Thought
This was your weekend to let her know you love her, and you chose not to, America. You chose not to. Instead you went to the cartoon movie and the one about a murder train.
1) Megamind — $30M
A little known bit of trivia about this movie. Its original title wasn't Megamind. It was Megabrain. Basically DreamWorks' idea was that after learning How to Train Your Dragon last year, you'd probably have graduated to wanting Megabrain. "Yo, I'm sick of training my dragon. I want some mega brain!" That kind of thing. ANYWAY. This movie is riding high right now, but in five days' time, a little British teenager is going to come along and ruin all its fun. No, I'm not talking about a teenager in the British labor union movie Made in Dagenham. Of course I refer to Harry Potter, which begins its two-part goodbye on Friday. Those kids have already been tearing it up overseas, going to premieres and likely getting mega brain, and soon they'll be on our shores, casting any other kids movies into the darkness for a while, leaving them to sit pouting in the lonely shadows, feverishly training their own dragons.
2) Unstoppable — $23.5M
I like that this movie got good reviews. And I like that there's no villain. I mean, there is a villain, it's the runaway train, but there's no human villain. It's just a classic story of two men vs. train. A tale as old as time. Since we first discovered trains two hundred years ago or whenever, man has been in constant battle with them, possessed of an insatiable need to either harness their immense power, or kill them. Of course trains have rebelled, occasionally in murderous fashion, but mostly by making us get to Boston a half hour late so our dad is waiting in the car for a while and has to circle around Back Bay Station like ten times and we feel bad. It's a never-ending war between two titans, man and train. And here, finally, is a movie about that most basic and pure of conflicts. None of this nonsense with celebrated playwright Eric Bogosian terrorizing a train full of people like Katherine Heigl only to be thwarted by Steven Seagal. (Though, the train does blow up in the end of that one, so it does get its due.) None of these stuffy Belgians solving mysteries as the train, unmolested, rumbles West from Istanbul. Nope. This here is just bare bones Man v. Train. Just the way it should, and always will, be.
3) Due Date — $15.5M
While not exactly the Hangover-sized buzzmachine that was perhaps hoped for, this comedy is performing well enough. It'll make back its $65M budget at least. But that's about it. I guess lightning doesn't strike twice even if you desperately try to make it, with the same director and actor and everything. The one thing they forgot to repeat, I guess, was the funny jokes part.
4) Skyline — $11.7M
So apparently this movie, which barely cost any money to make, earned a D- in audience exit polling, which is, y'know, pretty bad. I wonder why it is so bad! Now I'm really curious. I know that sort of thing is supposed to deter me from seeing the movie, but it really just makes me want to find out what could possibly be that bad. I mean, I know it's not the work of celebrated chameleon Eric Balfour. That can't be it. It must have something to do with everything else about the movie. That's probably it. So.... See you on Netflix instant watch in a year probably, Skyline. Then we'll get to the root of your problems. Until then, stay strong Balfour.
5) Morning Glory — $9.6M
Guys, what is wrong with you? Why did more of you not see this movie this weekend? OK, I didn't see it either, but I'm just one person. You're all of you! And this movie should have done way better than fifth place. I mean it had it all: plotline about cool job that most of us will never have, sunny leading lady who everyone likes, old timers doing silly things, Patrick Wilson, and an upbeat inspirational Natasha Bedingfield song. What better cure for a dreary November weekend than that gift basket of likable things? I really thought this was going to be number two or maybe even number one this weekend. Shows what I know. Here it is, muddling along in fifth place, behind Eric Balfour's Skyline for god's sakes. I misjudged you America. I thought you better than this. I guess I thought wrong. This Thanksgiving, I'm just not sure I'll have much to be thankful for.

Washington Ferries Renamed After the Seahawks
Passengers traveling on the Washington State Ferries Sunday, Feb. 2, will be boarding the "M/V Russell Wilson" or crossing Puget Sound on the "M/V Richard Sherman" as Gov. Jay Inslee has directed the vessels be named in honor of the Seattle Seahawks.
"We couldn't be more proud of our Seahawks as they represent our state in the Super Bowl," said Inslee. "We've already raised the 12th Man flag on each ferry, and this honorary name change is one more way for us to show our appreciation."
The team has counted on a strong running game to carve out a path to victory. Now fans will be able to ride the "M/V Marshawn Lynch" and go #Beastmode roundtrip from the Kitsap Peninsula.
"Although the name change is symbolic, we think it is a fun way to show our support and give fans a chance to cheer on the 'Hawks before they pull into port," said Assistant Transportation Secretary David Moseley.
The Washington State Department of Transportation recognizes the Seahawks achieved success this season by working as a team. WSDOT has 22 vessels in its fleet and has named each one after the Seahawks starting offense and defense team members.
List of Vessel Names:
M/V Cathlamet: "M/V Malcom Smith"
M/V Chelan: "M/V Zach Miller"
M/V Chetzemoka: "M/V J.R. Sweezy"
M/V Elwha: "M/V Chris Clemens"
M/V Evergreen State: "M/V Byron Maxwell"
M/V Hiyu: "M/V Breno Giacomini"
M/V Hyak: "M/V Kam Chancellor"
M/V Issaquah: "M/V Russell Okung"
M/V Kaleetan: "M/V Doug Baldwin"
M/V Kennewick: "M/V James Carpenter"
M/V Kitsap: "M/V Bobby Wagner"
M/V Kittitas: "M/V Tony McDaniel"
M/V Klahowya: "M/V Bruce Irvin"
M/V Puyallup: "M/V Marshawn Lynch"
M/V Salish: "M/V Max Unger"
M/V Sealth: "M/V Brandon Mebane"
M/V Spokane: "M/V Golden Tate"
M/V Tacoma: "M/V Russell Wilson"
M/V Tillikum: "M/V Michael Robinson"
M/V WallaWalla: "M/V Earl Thomas"
M/V Wenatchee: "M/V Richard Sherman"
M/V Yakima: "M/V Red Bryant"

I love switching things up with our meals and trying out new recipes. Unfortunately my kids are on the picky side, especially my middle son. This makes it tougher to experiment as often as I'd like in the kitchen, especially for dinner. But being part of the Kraft Tastemaker blogging program is a great reminder that I can use items around my house to try something new and think outside the box a bit. If there is one meal that everyone in this house can agree on, it is that breakfast any time of the day is absolutely delicious! All my boys absolutely love almost any breakfast food you can think of. From French toast to waffles to ham steak to eggs, they really do love it all!
I happened to have a large carton of fresh blueberries that were starting to get on the softer side. Normally I'd simply throw them into my freezer for later use or into some batter to enjoy blueberry pancakes. But this time I thought it would be fun to try something new that could also be used in multiple ways. So I smashed them up, added some sugar and few other ingredients I had on had to create a nice blueberry sauce!
It was heavenly and much easier than I imagined.
Homemade Blueberry Sauce
Prep Time: 10 minutes • Cook Time: 5 minutes • Serves: 8, approximately ¼ cup each
2¼ cups fresh blueberries
½ cup sugar
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
pinch of salt
1 tsp. orange or lemon zest
Dollop of COOL WHIP Whipped Topping (for garnish)
WASH fresh blueberries. In a medium saucepan, crush 2 cups of the blueberries, setting a ¼ cup aside.
ADD sugar, lemon juice and salt. Stir until combined.
BRING blueberry mixture to a boil and add remaining blueberries. Boil a full minute. Add zest.
SERVE warm or chilled with a dollop of COOL WHIP Whipped Topping on your favorite foods like pancakes, JELL-O Instant Pudding, ice cream or bread pudding.
I left out corn starch because I wanted it to be a bit more on the thin side for pancakes. It also makes the recipe a lot simpler. No worries about the consistency!
I wanted another flavor to complement the blueberries so I opted for some orange zest because I had that in my fridge. You could easily switch that out with some lemon zest instead. Or if the citrus flavor doesn't sound appealing to you, consider adding about a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. If sugar or calories is a concern, you could cut the sugar down to 1/3 cup or so and still get a great tasting sauce. While you can serve this warm immediately after you cook it, if you want an hour or more, the flavors really start to settle and come out! And this sauce can easily be made ahead of time and warmed up. Use any leftovers on other desserts like your favorite JELL-O Instant Pudding, ice cream, bread pudding, cobbler or even some Greek yogurt! And don't forget the COOL WHIP topping to put on top!
Pair up this sweet blueberry sauce with a fruity drink. KraftRecipes.com has some great punch recipes! Don't forget to follow them via Facebook and Twitter to stay connected.
