|Sighting Report

Reported: 2/5/2007 5:04:34 PM 17:04
Posted: 2/24/2007
Location: Naperville, IL
Duration:4-5 (?) seconds
|Meteorite Sighting Sunday Evening February 4, 2007
A sighting of a meteorite, last night, February 4th, 2007. I am not sure of the exact time, maybe between 8pm and 9pm. Location of sighting was Naperville, IL a suburb 27 miles southwest of Chicago. I happened to be facing North toward a double glass sliding door. The front of this home faces East. Immediately I noticed what seemed to be two fireballs falling from the sky. They seemed to falling from right to left, at an angle of approximately 15-30 degrees. The first one was larger than the one following behind. I would estimate the size of the larger one to be at least ½ the size or perhaps even ¾ of a full moon. They were both bright orange and yellow blazes of light, as fire is. Those who did not see them thought it could be fireworks. I have never seen sparks from fireworks this large and bright. And certainly no kids were out in the neighborhood because of the frigid below- zero temperatures. This was an incredible sighting, very beautiful. I have seen falling and shooting stars many times from such afar, very far distance, but never this close.
((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness via telephone, and she seemed to us to be quite serious-minded, and therefore probably quite credible. We suspect that the object may have been a meteor. PD))

Joshua 1 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV)
The Book of Joshua
1 2 The Lord encourageth Joshua to invade the land. 4 The borders and limits of the land of the Israelites. 5 The Lord promiseth to assist Joshua, if he obey his word. 11 Joshua commandeth the people to prepare themselves to pass over Jordan, 12 and exhorteth the Reubenites to execute their charge.
1 Now after the [a]death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
2 Moses my servant is dead: now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I give them, that is, to the children of Israel.
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, have I given you, as I said unto Moses.
4 From the [b]wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river [c]Perath: all the land of the [d]Hittites, even unto the great [e]Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
5 There shall not a man be able to withstand thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee: I will not leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide the land for an inheritance, which I swore unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be thou strong, and [f]of a most valiant courage, that thou mayest observe and do according to all the Law which Moses my servant hath commanded thee: thou shalt not turn away from it to the right hand, nor to the left, that thou mayest [g]prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 Let not this book of the Law depart out of thy mouth, but meditate therein day and [h]night, that thou mayest observe and do according to all that is written therein: for then shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and then shalt thou [i]have good success.
9 Have not I commanded thee, saying, Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be discouraged? for I the Lord thy God will be with thee whithersoever thou goest.
10 ¶ Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals: for [j]after three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God giveth you to possess it.
12 And unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh spake Joshua, saying,
13 Remember the word, which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, The Lord your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this [k]land.
14 ¶ Your wives, your children, and your cattle shall remain in the land which Moses gave you [l]on this side Jordan: but ye shall go over before your brethren armed, all that be men of war, and shall help them,
15 Until the Lord have given your brethren rest as well as to you, and until they also shall possess the land, which the Lord your God giveth them: then shall ye return unto the land of your possession, and shall possess it, which land Moses the Lord's [m]servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sun rising.
16 Then they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us, we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
17 As we obeyed Moses in all things, [n]so will we obey thee: only the Lord thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
18 Whosoever shall rebel against thy commandment, and will not obey thy words in all that thou commandest him, let him be put to death: only be strong and of good courage.

The thrill of playing roulette lies in placing bets on the layout, choosing your betting strategy and waiting for the ball to finally land in some of the 37 patches and make you a winner or a loser. All of these aspects of playing real money roulette are kept when the player decides to use his iPad to access some of the mobile casinos on the internet.
Players can bet by the touch of their fingers, they can easily choose between betting amounts and watch with excitement as the wheel spins. Apple designed an awesome product for people who are always on the move and yet like to play real money roulette. However, this would be useless unless the reputable software providers didn't develop high quality iOS applications and mobile casinos to match this excellent device.
If you're still looking for the right mobile Roulette casino where you can play for real money you should look no further and sign up with 888 Casino here. It's one of the oldest and most reliable online casinos with a superior software and a great mobile gaming environment. You can also make use of your £88 free + 100% up to £100 deposit bonus at their Roulette tables.
iPad Real Money Roulette Software Providers
The growing number of iPad users was a sign for software developers to expand the services they offer and start developing mobile applications and mobile casinos specifically designed for iOS devices. This proved as a very good step and now many online casinos are launching their mobile versions and trying to attract new customers as much as possible. Understandably, the leaders in providing roulette games are the leaders in developing casino games in total. The companies that have to be mentioned are Playtech, Microgaming, BetSoft, IGT and Real Time Gaming. All of these software providers stand behind numerous mobile casinos and offer impeccable games. The most important things in a good roulette game are the graphics, sound effects and responsiveness. Visiting one of the casinos powered by any of the mentioned providers will most definitely contain all of these characteristics. Another software provider that is well-known and reputable is Evolution Gaming. This company is specialised mostly in providing live casino solutions in which Live Roulette can be played. Numerous casinos include these live casinos in their mobile applications, offering real money Live Roulette directly on your iPad.
What is the Best Real Money Strategy when playing iPad Roulette?
There is no perfect roulette strategy, no matter whether the players play online or in a real casino. However, during the years many people tried to invent the best and most profitable playing strategy for real money roulette games. The best-known and probably most efficient are the Martingale Strategy, Fibonacci Strategy and Five Quad Strategy. The Martingale Strategy suggests that if you double your bet every time after you lose a bet, eventually you will win back the lost amount. Of course this strategy can be completely wrong if you lose your money before you hit a winning combination or if the bet amount is bigger than the table limit allows it to be. The next strategy is similar to the first one. However, Fibonacci thought that the player should combine the two lastly lost bets into one. For example, if you lost £10 and then £20, the proceeding bet amount should be £30. Once again similarly to the Martingale Strategy, following these suggestions can be fruitless because of table limits or player's budget. The last strategy is maybe the most reasonable one if the luck is on the player's side. Placing five corner bets and one straight up bet covers 21 numbers out of 37 and if the player hits any of those numbers he will win at least three Pounds more than he placed on the table.
Several Tips for Playing Real Money iPad Roulette
In order to prevent losing big amounts of money when placing real cash bets when playing iPad roulette, here are several tips to help you choose the best roulette variant and game strategy. However, before any other tip is explained, the most important is to know when to stop and not to spend more than you can afford. Plan your budget and if you decide to spend no more than £30 then leave the table once that amount is lost. Also, if you win £50, withdraw that amount and continue to play with the starting £30.
Anyway, the first tip for playing roulette using your iPad is to carefully choose which roulette game to play. French Roulette tables have the lowest house edge, whereas American Roulette has the highest house edge. European Roulette is somewhere in the middle and is still a better option than American Roulette. Practise is what makes us perfect in any field of life and the same can be said for playing real money roulette on iPad. Before the player decides to place bets, he should know all the variants and rules by heart and has a clear game strategy. These are the most popular strategies that proved efficient at many roulette tables: Labouchere System, Martingale Strategy, Five Quad Strategy and Fibonacci Strategy. Lastly, before any of these tips is implemented, you should find a safe and fair mobile casino where your information will be secure and the outcomes will be completely random.

The Good Old Cory Coffee Maker
Most people would not consider using a vacuum coffee to brew coffee on a daily basis.
However, back then, during the first half of the 20th century, which was considered as the Golden Age of vacuum coffee makers, Cory coffee brewers, along with Silex, were popular and widely used particularly in North America. In a sense, Cory coffee makerswould be the equivalent of the leading coffee maker brands of today, such as Krups, Braun, and Gevalia, and Cuisinart Coffee Makers, among others.
Although Silex was widely considered as the leading brand of coffee makers in the 1930's, its primary competitor was the Cory Coffee Maker Corporation.
The decline of the age of the vacuum coffee makers could very well be attributed to the advent of the automatic drip coffee maker during the second half of the 20th century.
Using an automatic coffee maker, whether it's a glass carafe coffee maker or a thermal coffee maker, is easier and more convenient.
Moreover, vacuum coffee makers are usually made of glass, and are very fragile.
Automatic drip coffee makers are either built as plastic or stainless steel coffee makers, and as a result, these are more durable and reliable.

Cretan Herbal Medicine ~ Fighting the Flu With
An increasing number of chemical and pharmacological studies, which strongly support traditional medicinal uses of Greek herbs against various illnesses such as a sore throat, cough, and gastric ulcer, have been reported recently. One of these herbs is an endemic plant of the island of Crete, which has been widely used as a traditional medicine since antiquity: the dittany of Crete, Origanum dictamnus (Lamiaceae family). A variety of compounds, including flavonoids, lipids, and terpenoids have been identified from the plant. Current studies have shown that its extracts and the essential oil possess important antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-ulcer pharmacological properties.
The use of herbal medicine has its roots in the Bronze Age. The Homeric texts describe herbal wound healing treatments during the Trojan War. Ancient Greeks had developed a considerable medical knowledge based on systematic observation in order to heal their precious human capital. The Mycenaean palatial centers systematically produced and exported huge quantities of aromatic and essential oils to the kingdoms of the Mediterranean basin and exchanged them to copper and tin for their weapons and tools. Were they also used as medicines? The tradition is still preserved and the consumption of aromatic plants as a component in curing common diseases is still on population's practices in many islands and rural areas. Though observations show that persons in Crete that consume Cretan herbal teas, mainly dittany and sage, are more resistant to viral induced infections. Until recently, there hasn't been any double-blind trial conducted on the effectiveness of Cretan herbs in the prevention and curing of common diseases.
The last decades Christos Lionis, Professor of General Practice and Primary Health Care, School of Medicine, University of Crete, studies the therapeutic properties of certain Cretan traditional herbal remedies. In 1988 he reported the antioxidant effects of herbs in Crete, and his research was published in Lancet (Vol. 352). This research has documented the antioxidant activity of certain Cretan plants and has shown their extracts decrease lipid peroxidation in cultured lung cells exposed to iron or ozon. Recently, through a mutual collaboration, the School of Medicine, University of Crete and the University of Leiden, Netherlands, focused on the evidence-based innovative therapeutic medicine of Cretan plants. Some of their results are particularly encouraging.
They reported the effectiveness of an essential oil extract of three Cretan aromatic plants in olive oil, Origanum Dictamnus, Coridothymus Capitatus, Salvia Fruticosa, in the treatment of cases with an upper respiratory tract infection. These three plant species that grow in Crete, the dittany, the thyme, and the sage are used in traditional healing practices by the local population. This was the first attempt in Europe to examine the effectiveness of an essential oil extract of the three Cretan aromatic plants through a double-blind randomized controlled trial, designed and implemented in rural Crete on patients with upper respiratory tract infection. The trial was implemented between October 2013 and February 2014 and published in 2015. Eligible patients were those presenting for clinical examination in the selected setting with signs and symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection that had begun within the previous 24 hours. One hundred and five patients completed the study; 51 in the placebo group, and 54 in the intervention (treated) group. Both groups' baseline characteristics were similar. An essential oil extract of Cretan aromatic plants in olive oil was administered as 0.5ml soft gel capsules, twice a day, for 7 days to the intervention group. Placebo treatment was 0.5ml olive oil in soft gel capsules. Descriptive differences have been reported in favorable direction especially in the virus-positive population. The medicine reached the market. These days an over-the-counter drug, in soft-gel capsules, under the name of "Cretan Iama" ("Cretan remedy") is circulated in the Greek market by the Olvos Science SA, and sells a lot.
These encouraging results underline the need for further research on the preventive and therapeutic potentialities of Cretan herbs.
Another research on the same direction was a recent joint attempt between the Clinic of Social and Family Medicine and the Department of Experimental Endocrinology at the School of Medicine, University of Crete, under the support of the National Strategic Reference Framework Program, which focused on the effectiveness of a functional extract of Mentha Spicata (mint) encapsulated in yogurt with honey on lipids profile of health patients in rural Crete. The first results of a cross-over study were in a favorite direction. These results converged with the animal-based study that was carried out within the same project.
Prof. Lionis believes that "in conclusion, the two first studies on the Cretan medicinal and aromatic plants support the potentialities of the use of ethnobotanical methodology to move the needle of innovation on viral infections and lipids metabolism" (Hell J Nucl Med. 2015, 18 Suppl. 1:145).

As if you needed anymore proof the 2014 Texas Rangers season has gone completely belly-up, just look at what happened on Tuesday night with the Rangers' 2-1 win over the Houston Astros.
The Rangers' win meant they won the series against the Astros with Wednesday's series finale being in consequential in that regard. That marked the first time in the past five tries that the Astros had failed to win a series from the Rangers.
Wrap your mind around that: Four straight series losses to the Astros — that's just remarkably bad.

The Astros locked up the Silver Boot last month, for the first time since the Buck Showalter era, which further hammers home the point of how bad this year went for the Rangers. But hey, the Rangers got the last laugh, I guess. So there's that.

A Walk Through the CKC Selection Process with Kristal Powell
When you sign on with CKC Custom Homes to build your home, we start the process designing you a set of construction plans and picking out your selections. We have two interior designers on staff here at CKC, myself and assistant designer Blane Kelley. Together with the architect, we will go through the design process of creating a set of plans. This generally takes about 3 months. Once we are finished with the plans, we start the fun part…selections! This is what I love to call the "jewelry" of the home.
We usually start off the first round of selection meetings at the CKC office where we have dedicated our downstairs office to a design showroom. Since we have the showroom onsite, it really helps save you a lot of time in the selection process. We are able to show you a range of items here for you to go ahead and pick out your tile, flooring, windows, mirrors, etc. Throughout this entire process you will have myself and Blane to guide you through the selections that pair best with the style you are envisioning as well as what is on trend now and what will stay a timeless piece in your home.
Though the majority of selections are done onsite, there are a few items we do not have and will have to visit the vendors' showrooms for. From here, we will set up these meetings with you and take you to each of their showrooms. With these visits, you not only have CKC's help but also the valued opinions of our trustworthy vendors. We value your input throughout this process to make sure you get something you are going to love forever. Every vendor we work with is vetted and comes highly recommended, so rest assured you are getting the best of the best in your home!
To me, the selection process is the best part of building a home, but I know for a lot of clients it can be pretty intimidating. We try really hard to make this process as easy and as fun as possible. We want to make sure we go through this as thoroughly as possible with you, so once you move in you are 100% happy.
If you have been thinking about building a new home, please take the next step and give me a call today at 210-408-7613.
Till Next Time,

Early Life
Korg is a Kronan born on the planet Ria. He and his brother Margus were part of an invasion force sent to conquer the planet Earth.
Meeting Thor
Korg was based on the planet Saturn, they were advanced scouts for a planned invasion of Earth. They land in Norway and frighten a local life form. The human tries to warn his people, but they dismiss him. One human overhears and goes to look for himself. When he steps on a twig, the aliens notice him. He flees into the hills, where he loses his cane. However the human returns but now in the form of Thor easily lifts the boulder and leaves the cave. He verifies that the hammer has all the powers of Mjolnir, Thor's legendary weapon. Meanwhile, the Kronan armada shows up on Earth's radar screens. When fighter jets scramble to meet them, they project an image of a huge dragon and frighten away the pilots. When the ground forces fire missiles, they explode harmlessly the ships' force fields. Thor speeds to the defense of the Earth. When Thor attacks the Kronans they drop a cage over him but he tears the bars open. They aim their disintegration beams at him, but his hammer smashes their guns. They unleash their Mechano Monster, but he smashes it to bits. The Kronans return to their ships and give up their invasion..[2]
As their fleet fled back to their homeworld, the ship that held Korg, Margus, and several other Kroanan soldiers, drifted off-course and was pulled into a mysterious wormhole, crash landing on the harsh desert world of Sakaar.[citation needed]
Korg and Margus were enslaved by the Sakaar Empire. They were separated while being trained for gladiatorial combat.[citation needed]
Korg was placed on the same team as the Hulk, who has also ended up enslaved on Sakaar after being exiled from Earth. In his first battle at the arena Korg had to kill Margus.[citation needed]
Along with Hulk and rest of his team, Korg was freed by the Silver Surfer.[citation needed]
Korg has become one of the Hulk's most reliable allies. He is one of the few who survived Sakaar's destruction. He accompanied the Hulk to Earth to get revenge upon the Illuminati, a secret cabal of heroes responsible for the Hulk's exile. While the Hulk threatened to destroy New York City, Korg attempted to broach communication with Earth's civilian populace. When he discovered that his Warbound ally, Arch-E-5912 had been murdered, Korg warned the New York City police department that he would aggressively investigate the matter until the killer could be identified.[3]
After Korg, Kate Waynesboro and the Warbound were teleported in New Mexico by the Leader, Korg and his allies stopped the villain's plans, but only at the cost of Hiroim's life.[citation needed]
Civil War II
Korg was with the Warbound when they receive word that Bruce Banner is dead. At Bruce's funeral, Korg stated that Hulk wanted to be alone and had made friends along the way enough to make them part of his family.[4]
Powers and Abilities
Korg possesses various superhuman attributes common to all Kronans.
Superhuman Strength: Korg is superhumanly strong, though the full limits of his strength aren't known. However, Korg is at least as strong as the average member of his race, which means that he can lift at least 100 tons.
Superhuman Stamina: Korg's highly advanced musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of humans. While the full extent of his physical stamina isn't known, he can exert himself physically at peak capacity for at least 24 hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.
Superhuman Durability: Like other Kronans Korg possesses a dense rocky hide comparable to the Thing's that renders his body highly resistant to physical injury. Korg can withstand great impact forces, falls from great heights, exposure to temperature and pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury.
Korg is a formidable hand to hand combatant, primarily due to his experience as a gladiatorial competitor.
Strength level
Class 100, comparable with Hercules.
Gladiator swords and shields
- Korg first appeared in Journey Into Mystery #83 unnamed, and was later named in Incredible Hulk Vol 2 #93.
- During his fight with Trauma, Korg's fear was revealed to be Thor.[1]
- Hiroim and Korg were in a homosexual relationship.[5]

The unionized workers' mood didn't brighten at all with the U.C. regents' recent decision to augment many of the execs' salaries while dipping into theirs. Also miffed was State Sen. Leland Yee, who has become one of the most pointed critics of the U.C. system.
"Well, I'm just not surprised by U.C. policies anymore. The most outrageous and arrogant things happen," he told SF Weekly. "When you have these top administrators making hundreds and thousands of dollars, clearly there are other ways to balance this particular budget" other than furloughing workers.Yee's efforts to win the legislature more fiscal oversight of the U.C. system have rattled the Regents into seeking the aid -- and influence -- of a number of local multi-millionaires. When asked what millionaires or billionaires he had in his corner, Yee laughed.
"The only people I have are the workers," said the U.C. Berkeley alum.
Yee would like to change the state constitution to allow him and other elected officials to compel the U.C. system to divulge its balance books. But even without going over the system's ledgers he feels the Regents brushed off a number of solutions to their fiscal crisis in favor of the easy move of bleeding workers.
"They can look at their reserves, look at their endowments, or private enterprise departments like hospitals," he said. "There are many other revenue streams they have access to."
While U.C. President Mark Yudof (salary: $828,000) said draconian moves were necessary to offset roughly $813 million in anticipated state shortfalls, Yee feels that's a cop-out.
"U.C. continually makes the argument that they're getting less and less money from the state, so they ought not be held accountable by the state of California," he said. "Last I checked, they were not a private country club. They're a public asset. And so long as they're a public asset, the people represented need to have some say what goes on within that institution. There are many other things U.C. should be looking at other than furloughing faculty members and employees."

Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker's column "Flaming moderates needed" was published in this newspaper on March 26.
She skillfully addresses today's hyper-partisan politics and the resultant unwillingness to compromise.
Witness the debt ceiling debate last August, when the president and the Speaker of the House could not compromise to reach the Grand Bargain.
The task of deficit reduction was given to the Super Committee to resolve. They also refused to compromise and failed. Our federal deficit continues its unsustainable growth.
To political partisans, compromise has become viewed as weakness, or worse, capitulation to the dark side. Ms. Parker's view is: "By saner standards, what would be identified as fanaticism is considered conviction, while resistance to compromise is allegiance to principle."
How did we get to this place in our political life?
A major reason is the dramatic explosion of media outlets on cable television, talk radio and the Internet. This 24-hour flood of news and opinion makes it easy to find unquestioning support for nearly any extreme political view or philosophy.
Hyper-partisans, described by Parker as "incurious and, by the rigidity of their convictions, lacking in imagination," easily find reinforcement of their beliefs without inconvenient conflicting facts or opposing views.
Absorbed in their favored TV station, and not knowledgeable on the broader political discourse, the fringes don't realize that the electorate disagrees with their positions.
Independents and moderates determine national elections. Most are, by definition, not attracted to the extremes.
Neither of the political parties by themselves, let alone the fringes of the parties, have sufficient power to control the federal government. Control requires the presidency, the House and 60-plus votes in the Senate.
The last time this happened was 34 years ago in President Carter's first term.
One-party control of the federal government is an elusive goal. Basing a political strategy on achieving control, while refusing to compromise until then, is a fool's errand.
Perhaps the hyper-partisans know this, but don't care. They may value feeling outraged and righteous about their positions more than actually succeeding at winning elections.
When politicians make unequivocal statements which prevent compromise, some voters hope it is simply rhetoric and part of the negotiation. Compromise will be accepted in the end we believe.
The problem is that tens of millions of voters do believe the rhetoric.
Politicians thus put themselves in a box, because their base will not allow them to reach the compromise that was their real goal all along.
Compromise is necessary in most aspects of our lives. It is amazing how many successful people who routinely compromise in their professional and personal lives can so readily dismiss political compromise.
Recall two veteran Irish politicians who were able to give a little and get a little to reach a successful political solution. In 1983, President Reagan and House Speaker Tip O'Neill compromised on a fix to Social Security that remains the foundation of today's Social Security program. Social Security now needs a 30 year tune-up, but today's politicians are afraid to touch it.
Does anyone remember what Reagan and O'Neill had to give up? Of course not.
What we remember is that two leaders did the right thing and made the deal.
Where are those deal makers today?
Our legislators in Washington, Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson and Representatives Jack Kingston and John Barrow, need support from us, their constituents.
We must encourage them to value and use wisely the power of compromise to help improve government.
By rejecting extreme views ourselves, we can give them the backing they need to make the deal.

A bit over two weeks ago I turned 24. Last year I made an incredibly elaborate meal for my birthday of roasted duck breast, foie gras, with all sorts of sauces and accompaniments. This year, I decided to return to my favourite meal growing up: standing rib roast. For most of my life, this meal came accompanied by mashed potatoes, gravy and an apple pie for dessert. Having consumed far more mashed potatoes than is healthy two weeks earlier for Thanksgiving, and given the fact that my birthday fell on the last night of Hannukah, I decided to make latkes instead. Rather than go through the extensive preparation that duck requires, a standing rib roast requires very little work. Its one aspect that keeps me from preparing it with more frequency is its relatively high price. For my birthday, I was permitted to treat myself.
My butcher cleaned the roast beautifully and gave me a few pieces of beef fat to leave atop the roast such that it would baste itself. I covered it with a bit of salt and pepper and allowed the oven to do the rest. Meanwhile, I prepared a mustard-peppercorn-cream sauce and got to work grating my potatoes. I was joined by my roommate Tal and my good friend Leemor and we delved into our delectable affair. If you're looking to have a special occasion on which you spend a bit more money, but don't want to go through too much work, this is an excellent choice.
For the meat
1 4 rib standing rib roast (about 2.5k)
a few bits of beef fat
1 leek, white part only, sliced in half and bits pulled apart (optional)
3/4 cup duck stock (optional)
For the sauce
2 tbls of green peppercorns, soaked in water for 1.5 hours then strained
1 shallot, minced
1 cup of brandy (I used courvoisier)
2 tbls of dijon mustard
1 cup of 15% cream
S+P to taste
For the latkes
2 lbs of potatoes, peeled and grated (large gauge) into a bowl of water with the juice of 1 lemon
1 grated onion (optional)
2 eggs
all-purpose white flour (as much as needed)
lots of vegetable oil
Pre-heat oven to max. If you choose to use the leaks and ducks stock, place them in the bottom of a roast pan and then place the rack on top of them. Cover the roast in salt and pepper, then place it atop the rack. Place the pieces of fat atop the bones and then wrap the top of the bones tightly in tin foil. Place the roast in the oven for 20 minutes, then lower the heat to 190C/375F. Remove after 40-50 minutes, or once a thermometer reads 165F in the interior. Transfer to a warmed platter, tent with tin-foil and allow to rest for 30 minutes. Slice and serve.
Combine the shallot and brandy in a sauce pan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Once simmering, add the peppercorns and cook until the shallots are soft. If the brandy has evaporated before the shallots are soft, then add a bit of water until the shallots have reach the right consistency. Add the mustard and cream, whisk well, and allow to simmer for another 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
Completely strain the potatoes so that there is as little liquid in the bowl as possible. Beat the eggs with salt and pepper in the bottom of a large bowl and add the potatoes, then mix well. Dust with flour so that the top is just barely covered, then mix in. If too liquid, add a bit more flour. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and allow to heat through. Add about enough oil to the pan so it comes about 1/8" up the sides. Add a test latke to the pan, one serving spoon full, and form in the pan. The first latke usually doesn't come out very well, so continue to prepare them in batches until the batter is done. Transfer each batch to a plate lined with paper towel and leave in a warm oven until ready to serve.

The Tradition of Dyeing the River Green: In late 1961, a plumber entered Stephen M. Bailey's office at the Chicago Journeymen Plumber's Local Union #130 in white overalls splotched with green. The plumber had been pouring green dye into openings of the waste system, in search of the source of refuse being dumped into the Chicago River:
As fate would have it (or the "luck of the Irish"), the plumber had walked in on a casual meeting regarding the planning of the 1962 St. Patrick's Day Parade. The proverbial light bulb went off for Bailey and his next question was, "Why can't we dye the whole river for St. Patrick's Day?" Thus, a long standing tradition was born. That first year, the dye kept the river green for a week.
With typical Irish flair, Bailey commented, "The Chicago River will dye the Illinois, which will dye the Mississippi, which will dye the Gulf of Mexico, which will send green dye up the gulf stream across the North Atlantic into the Irish Sea, a sea of green surrounding the land will appear as a greeting to all Irishmen of the Emerald Isle from the men of Erin in Chicagoland, USA."
History and quote from http://chicagostpatsparade.com/index.html.
The Sales Pitch: What better way to witness a 49 year tradition than from the river itself! This year we will launch at 9:30 AM from the Lincoln Park Boat Club's North Avenue river site.
We will be greeted by thousands of cheering onlookers as we arrive under the Columbus Street bridge at approximately 10:30 AM, just in time to witness the river being dyed green. No, the dye will not affect the color of your boat.
Date: Saturday, March 13th
Time: Please arrive at the LPBC's North Avenue river site by 8:30 AM so that we can launch by 9:30 AM. Depending on how long we linger downtown, we should be back at the launch site sometime around noon.
Distance: Six miles (round-trip)
Gear: A wetsuit is required (or a drysuit if you have one) since the water will be quite cold. Please plan on being on the water for three hours since there are very few opportunities to get out of your boat during the paddle. A warm change of clothing, water and a snack bar are recommended.
Trip Difficulty: This trip is intended for the more experienced paddler because of the water temperature and the time we will spend in our boats.
Please keep in mind that it is more challenging to paddle six miles in the winter than in the summer due to all the gear we'll be wearing and carrying.
Directions: The Lincoln Park Boat Club's river site is located just south of North Avenue and just west of the Chicago River on Magnolia Street. Magnolia is the street that runs south from North Avenue across from the Home Depot and between the river and Comcast's headquarters. The site is located about 1/4 mile south of North Avenue on the east side of Magnolia Street. I have attached a map for your convenience.

The latest item that the actress worked her magic on is something we'll all probably be wearing this weekend—a pair of denim shorts. Instead of going the usual sandal or white sneaker route, however, Bosworth instead chose to pair them with metallic loafers. Those, along with her tucked-in and buttoned-up white shirt, expertly elevated her shorts (which she adorably adorned with a mini pin). As you can see, the classic shoe style feels surprisingly unexpected and fresh when worn with shorts. Bosworth's golden Tod's Gommino loafers are eye-catching and cool, but the look would work with any hue. (We're especially partial to bright red.) Want to follow her stylish lead?

Series: Hands Off #1
Published by Self Published Genres: Contemporary, Interracial
Source: Author
Yvonne Floyd is willing to do anything for her childhood friend, Robbie Gutierrez – even pose as his fiancée until he can land a lucrative soccer contact in exchange for him paying off her student loans. Easy, right? Wrong! Yvonne did not count on quickly falling head-over-heels in love with Robbie's teammate, Paolo Saito.
Paolo Saito is a famous football (soccer) player in the European league. He has some misguided anger towards Robbie because he replaced a friend of his on the team. And, to make matters worse, Paolo is sexually attracted to Yvonne, Robbie's fiancée. What better revenge against Robbie than to seduce Yvonne from right under his feet. But, Paolo's plan backfires when he develops deeper feelings for her. Will Paolo continue with his vengeance against Robbie or will he try to win Yvonne's heart?
I am on the fence about Player's Ultimatum. On one end of the spectrum, I really adored the concept of doing a non-harmful favor for a friend where both parties enter the bargain willingly. However, on the flipside, there were times where I did not like Paolo and Yvonne's characters very much. Yvonne's sense of loyalty is a big issue for me. There are times where her control just flies out the window, putting her friend's career in danger and leaving me saying "what the hell". And, to add fuel to the fire, Paolo comes across as alpha-type male jerk that I would have kicked to the curb. Nevertheless, the chemistry between Paolo and Yvonne is electrifying and develops at a non-forceful, steady pace. The sex is mega hot. Ms. Brown does an incredible job of introducing readers to the world of soccer. I felt like I was actually sitting in the stands watching the game.

Senate Passes Pennacchio Measure to Increase Maximum State Deduction for Property Taxes to $15,000
Please Share:
The New Jersey Senate has approved legislation sponsored by Senator Joe Pennacchio to increase New Jersey's maximum income tax deduction for property taxes to $15,000.
"By increasing our state income tax deduction for property taxes from $10,000 to $15,000, we're providing real property tax relief to New Jersey residents," said Pennacchio (R-26). "This was a bipartisan effort that I was glad to lead the charge on."
Pennacchio proposed increasing the state's deduction for property taxes following the passage of tax reforms in Washington that limited the federal SALT deduction for state and local taxes to $10,000.
His legislation, S-64, increases the maximum deduction that residents could claim for property taxes when they file their state income taxes to $15,000, a 50 percent increase.
"It would be hypocritical of us to criticize the federal limitation of the deduction for property taxes to $10,000 when New Jersey has long had an identical limit," added Pennacchio. "While I had hoped to make all of our property taxes deductible, today's Senate vote represents a good step in our efforts lower New Jersey's crushing tax burden. I'm glad that after being the first to discuss this proposal last year, I was able to convince my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to work together to move this initiative forward for taxpayers."

It's not particularly reassuring to hear that over a quarter (28%) of senior UK business leaders feel corruption is widespread in the country. It's one thing hearing speculation coming from Joe Bloggs and another to hear it straight from CEOs and CFOs running some of the nation's biggest firms.
Less reassuring still are the muddied waters about what is and isn't acceptable behaviour. The numbers come from an EY survey of nearly 3,000 execs across 62 countries and should raise a few eyebrows. While most said they wouldn't ignore unethical conduct by staff or third-parties, nearly 40% said they'd be prepared to make some form of adjustment to the presentation of financial performance to meet targets or safeguard a company's economic survival.
All too often such 'adjustments' can mark the start of a slippery slope. It's not as if we don't have enough cautionary tales of number fiddling taken to the extreme. From Tesco to Toshiba, there's a long list of firms which have taken a reputational (and financial) hammering when their accounting scandals unravelled.
Despite evidence of some very blurred lines indeed, only 2% of UK respondents felt corruption was a significant issue within their own industry. That could be a case of turning a blind eye, being blissfully naive or simply claiming it's someone else's problem. It doesn't though, line up with the execs' own personal experience of misconduct at work – 22% said they had concerns about fraud, bribery and corruption at their place of employment.
It's also often difficult dealing with third parties. An OECD report from last year found that from 427 foreign bribery cases, most were committed by third parties such as agents and intermediaries. And the vast majority – 98% – of UK respondents think it's important to know who ultimately owns and controls the entities they do business with.
There's not a sure-fire way of staying squeaky clean, but it's clear that businesses need to do more to clamp down on unethical behaviour. It's simply not worth the costly clear up afterwards - just ask Tesco.

3 stars
Reader's Choice
This gets 3 stars instead of 2 because A) it did get better (thankfully) and B) if I'd seen a movie version and gotten through the whole story line in under 2 hours with a minimum of internal monologue... it would have been a decent chick-flick.
This is most definitely a case of "it's not you, it's me". Mostly anyway. The typos/editing issues were definitely you, book.
I simply cannot suspend disbelief enough to believe that professional adults would behave this way.
And then there's the whole "romances like this make me roll my eyes hard enough to knock me out" thing.
I just find these kind of stories ridiculous.
But that's me.
If contemporary romance is your thing, you may want to try this.
Overall.... I'm balancing somewhere between "I don't regret finishing it" and "Boy, I'm a glutton for punishment". ;)

KABUL: Afghan presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah was locked in last-chance talks with the United Nations on Tuesday as a deal to resolve the country's damaging election dispute edged closer to failure.
Abdullah alleges that ballot-rigging denied him victory over Ashraf Ghani in the June 14 elections to choose a new leader in Afghanistan as US-led NATO troops end their 13-year war against the Taliban.
With both candidates claiming victory, the US brokered a deal in which the poll rivals agreed to an audit of all eight million votes and the formation of a post-election national unity government.
But Abdullah pulled out of the audit, saying it was failing to uncover fraud, and he has threatened to also walk out of power-sharing talks -- throwing into question the legitimacy of the next government.
"Negotiations between special UN envoy Jan Kubis and Dr Abdullah are being held and when the talks finish we will know what the final stand is," Muslim Saadat, a spokesperson for the Abdullah campaign, told AFP.
"A press conference has been postponed due to requests from ambassadors, the UN and the international community.
"There were no meetings between the two sides today, after they could not reach an agreement yesterday."
"For Dr Abdullah and the whole team, it is very clear to us we were the winner."
The political crisis has already emboldened the Taliban and weakened the fragile economy, which depends on aid funding from countries that hoped the election would underline democratic progress made since the Taliban era.
A Nato summit opening in Britain on Thursday was meant to showcase the new president as member nations decide on future support, but instead the Afghan defence minister will represent the country.
Outgoing President Hamid Karzai, who was scheduled to leave office one month ago, has declined to attend, and has stressed he will step down as soon as his successor is chosen.
"Candidates must remain committed to form (a) national unity government that ensures stability and security," the US embassy said in a message on Twitter as Afghanistan faces the threat of political turmoil spilling into violence.
The UN has raised concerns of a return to the ethnic divisions of the 1990s civil war because Abdullah draws his support from Tajiks and other northern Afghan groups, while Ghani is backed by Pashtun tribes of the south and east.
Faizullah Zaki, a spokesperson from Ghani's campaign, told AFP that Abdullah should lower his demands over the unity government and re-join the negotiations.
Some of Abdullah's aggrieved supporters have urged him to form a "parallel government", while officials denied reports that current ministers planned to set up an "interim administration" to take power.

Team: Stuart Bennett, Duncan Hornby, Barbara Lane, Kevin Munn, Pam Munn and Claire Vivian
A slow start (caused by a late Friday night and Barbara's bottle of Baileys) meant we all met up about 10am at the campsite adjacent to the Baker's pit entrance. Just as we began to change into our gear it started to rain; equally it rained when we returned to the car after the trip. This seemed to set the pattern for the rest of the weekend...
Baker's PitThe entrance is an easy climb down two fixed ladders entering a large chamber.

Duncan meets the Judge.
Stuart at the Baker's Pit 'waterfall'.
We wandered around following the description, seeking places we had not previously visited. We eventually relocated the start of the Plymouth extension (i.e. we were locationally challenged for a while) and Stuart and Claire forced their way up into it only to decide enough was enough. Kevin and Barbara explored nearer the entrance whilst the rest of us explored various leads in the Lower Stream Series. We were all out by about 2pm. Back at the car it started to rain...
Trip time: 3 hrs
Afton Red Rift (with SPIDERS)The cave description said this was a sporting trip. It did not mention anything about the giant cave spiders that lurked within the entrance and for a fair way into the cave as well. I would have taken a photo of them, but they were big enough to take the camera from me, so I declined and stealthily snuck past.
Most of what you need to know about Afton before visiting it can be learned from the name (apart from the spiders). It is located near the village of Afton, has a lot of red mud and it is predominantly a rift (i.e. it has less floor to stand on than is comfortable). The caving starts off fairly innocuously, with walking and scrambling over boulders, then holes start to appear in the floor. No problem at first, you just step over them, but then you lose the floor and end up traversing over some fairly high drops, 30-40 feet probably. Not too bad to begin with, but then the walls start to bell out and things get smooth and nice handholds and footholds get fewer. I was very glad to get around one particularly slippery corner and see floor ahead. Before the next section of traversing, that is. But the worst was behind us, and we soon found ourselves sliding down to Flower Chamber (apparently so-called because there were formations resembling gypsum flowers here originally). We then negotiated 2 small down-climbs and a traverse over a fairly deep hole to end up in Cascade Chamber. There was some nice red flowstone here. Fairly soon after leaving this chamber I crawled forward to come face first with a 3m drop and, in a very ladylike fashion, allowed Stuart to go first. He made it look easy, with no need to use the sling. I made it look much less elegant and found that the sling we had placed on a tiny stal that looked like it was going to pull off any second, was actually not going anywhere at all and needed me to climb part way back up to remove it. We were then in Mud Hall and on our way to finding Watkins Squeeze and the climb back up the rift. The squeeze was fine, just annoyingly uphill, and then it changed in to more of a chimney. At the top of this, we found it was time to start the climb up. Thankfully, this was far easier than we had been anticipating and I even enjoyed it.
The cave description we were following was very good and apart from 2 small route-finding mistakes, we were able to complete the round trip in around 1.5 hours. A great sporting trip, and I'd probably go back again when I've had enough time to forget about the spiders, the slippery corner and the awkward climb.
After walking around Buckfastleigh looking for somewhere to eat that could fit us in, we found room at The Globe and had a great meal there.
The team enjoy a meal out.
Dog Hole
Duncan, Claire and Stuart at the entrance of Dog Hole, a short distance from the larger Pridhamsleigh cavern
This was only going to be a short trip. Around 30 minutes, we thought. Well, it didn't quite end up that way. The key to the Dog Hole extensions was included in the DSS cave key pack. We figured that it must be worth a visit. Things began well. The gate was located and opened fairly quickly, then Claire went through first. On the other side of the gate, it was immediately in to a tight right-angled bend. Hmm. The others may enjoy this I thought. Then as if that wasn't enough fun, it was followed by a tight downward sloping tube. I tackled this head first and it was small, but doable. A second downward sloping small tube was next, but then everything opened out into a small chamber with a slot in the floor and a passage coming off on the far side. I poked around exploring a bit while Stuart and Duncan negotiated the Dog-Leg and tubes, but did not come across the spectacular formations I was expecting.
Stuart soon joined me and we waited for Duncan. After a while when he did not emerge, I went back up and found that he was having a bit of trouble [ understatement of the year ] with the right-angled bend. He had come through it, not liked the look of the body-sized tube and had turned around to go back. The bend was not easy to negotiate in the opposite direction and he was forced to take his welly off to get his foot close to getting around the corner. Any taller than Duncan, and you will probably find yourself having to get your leg amputated to get through!
Claire exiting the right-angle bend at the start of the dog leg extension...
The tube wasn't easy to come back up either! It was easy to slide down, but coming back up with arms above your head, there was little room to move and very little to hold on to within reach, so I inched up that for what felt like several minutes. Finally getting out of the tube, I helped Duncan get his foot around the corner and then exited the extension. Duncan was well and truly wedged in the bend, discovering his right femur was too long to get round the bend. Twisting his bootless foot and pushing forwards enabled him to slowly force himself around the bend. Stuart was behind me enjoying coming back up the tube but made short work of the bend.
The dreaded dog-leg bend! (Looking back out towards the exit)
Duncan - Whilst trapped in the bend I became aware of a regular thudding sound, I stopped panicking and started wondering why Claire and Stuart were thumping rocks, it then dawned upon me it was actually my heart beat I was hearing whilst entombed in this nightmarish bend. If you are taller than 1.71m (my height) think seriously about attempting this extension!
The tube that leads on after the right-angle bend, foot for scale, hmmm quite small…
Having all got out - without finding the fabled formations - we then went on to explore the various other nooks and crannies of Dog Hole before exiting.
One of several large spiders guarding the entrance of Dog Hole! (tiddlers compared to the Afton ones!)
Duncan happy to exit Dog Hole with 2 legs still attached
Total trip time: 1 hour
Pridhamsleigh CavernAfter Dog Hole, Pridhamsleigh Cavern is a 30 second walk away with an impressive entrance. The initial wow factor is quickly replaced by "oh is that the entrance…" a squalid muddy crawl into the system. A phreatic cave system with a maze of passages makes for an interesting navigation exercise. Thankfully Duncan has visited the system many times when he was a student with Exeter University Caving Club and his general compass only let him down a couple of times.
Stuart and Duncan in the entrance to Prid
Pridhamsleigh cavern is a very muddy cave which gets much use from commercial and other novice cavers so there are very few intact formations. You basically visit this cave for the mud!
Claire in the "worm hole", next to the lake.
The end of the system is marked by a deep lake. After a play in the wormhole we exited the system via the coal chute, a "wet way" out back to Bishops Chamber.
Stuart and Claire at The lake, this marks the end of the cave system, but not the mud…
No visit to Pridhamsleigh Cavern should go without a quick dip in the nearby stream to wash your gear. Might be cold but saves covering everything else with mud. On schedule it started to rain as we changed...

| What do we mean when we say "fair housing"?
"Fair housing" refers to practices that comply with the federal Fair Housing Act, originally passed in 1968, and similar state and local laws. The Fair Housing Act as amended prohibits discrimination in housing and related transactions on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, disability and familial status (the presence or anticipated presence of children under 18 in a home). The Act covers all kinds of housing-related transactions, including but not necessarily limited to rentals, home sales, mortgage lending, homeowner's insurance, home improvement and zoning.
Not all "unfair" practices by a landlord or someone else involved in a housing-related transaction with a consumer are covered by the Fair Housing Act. For example, a landlord who fails to make repairs or otherwise live up to his obligations under a lease, or a real estate agent who commits a violation of state rules of agent ethics, may be acting "unfairly," but he is not in violation of the Fair Housing Act unless his actions (or failure to act) is discriminatory on one of the seven bases listed above (state and local fair housing laws may add further protected bases).
The National Fair Housing Advocate web site focuses specifically on housing discrimination issues; other sites, such as Tenant Net, focus on landlord-tenant and other issues not covered by the Fair Housing Act. We have also attempted to accommodate those with landlord tenant questions by establishing a specific discussion area in our Discussion Forum. Some of the regular participants in the forum may answer your questions.

Unreal 2004 was a big jump forward in most regards but the insults went backward..... while the graphics and gameplay were comparable in quality until you changed the announcer back to the original voice was terrible and almost all of the new insults were just plain silly and worthless.
they just released another Unreal Anthology I think I'm going to buy this time around it has all of the Unreal games included I have all of them save the original Unreal and Expansion which I played and finnished years after Unreal tournament was released..... but I don't have originals of them.
extremely difficult end-of-level "boss,"
it was a tragedy what they did to the plasma rifle.... a tragedy.
the rocket launcher, sniper rifle, flak cannon, shock rifle
I love UT2004, but I do have one compalint. Onslaught was terrible all around. Could have been much better.
yeah forgot how bad they poached the rocket launcher, the flack was fine, shock rifle was more than good in most ways. and they re-introduced the original sniper rifle that was way over powered and the new one was pretty gay but far better balanced compared to the original.

EVENT: Youth Empowered Action Camp
EVENT DATE: Jul 14, 2013
Currently there are over 27 million victims of human trafficking all around the world. Many people are falsely under the impression that slavery is only a topic for history books, but there are actually more people in slavery today than there were during the entire transatlantic slave trade. With the knowledge that this horrific act is still taking place all over the world, I cannot bear to imagine
sitting on the sidelines ignoring the problem while human beings just
like me are suffering. By choosing to pretend that this problem does not exist, we are only fueling this corrupted business by our indifference. Leaving these innocent human beings in these devastating conditions is simply out of the question. Because when it comes down to it, what if it was you? Would you want others to hope someone else would handle the problem? It's something to think about.
My goal is to help end modern day slavery. By attending Youth Empowered Action Camp this summer I hope to pursue my passion with other driven, like minded, and ambitious teenagers my age in an environment where the main goal is to tackle some of the biggest issues facing the world. When I would return from attending YEA, my knowledge, skills, and confidence will have grown and I will be able to better advocate the horrific reality of human trafficking and bring about real change.
Any size donation given to me would help me immensely. I truly think this program has the potential to help me and other driven, passionate teenagers like myself take action. Thank you!

Studying and treating autism poses daunting challenges – but the difficult task could made easier if researchers and healthcare providers who work with autistic children coordinate their efforts.
State officials and healthcare leaders credited the new Montclair State University Autism Center for Excellence for emphasizing such an approach as new grants were announced by the state council that funds autism research.
The center, which was launched last year, encourages healthcare providers and autism researchers to work together in order to speed up development of new treatments.
A total of $4.5 million was awarded by the state in June to seven projects ranging from research to examine biological markers that could be used to identify children with autism to a study of the transportation needs of those with autism.
Those with autism spectrum disorder have impaired social interactions, language development and communication skills. The federal Centers for Disease Control estimates that 1 in 49 New Jersey children have autism, among the highest rates in the country.
The largest grant award — $2.25 million over five years – was given to Children's Specialized Hospital to develop a new autism screening tool for diagnosing children from culturally diverse families.
Hospital CEO Amy Mansue said increased coordination among institutions has practical benefits.
Traditionally, when institutions receive grants, "We spend all of our time in the administering of those elements of the grant that we won," she said.
Encouraging coordination enables grant winners to "look to both solve problems and leverage discovery in ways that have not been done in the past."
For example, Children's Specialized Hospital's grant will be coordinated other grant recipients, including researchers from Rutgers University and its Robert Wood Johnson and New Jersey medical schools, Rowan University and its School of Osteopathic Medicine, and St. Peter's University Hospital in New Brunswick.
Mansue said her hospital's staff will be able to help researchers find families interested in having their children participate in studies.
"Having someone at the table (that has worked directly with families) can lend a different perspective, so science can be modified to keep its purity but allow meaningful participation," Mansue added.
While the Governor's Council for Medical Research and Treatment of Autism has existed since 1999, Mansue believes that the new center will be better able to achieve the original goals of the council – to contribute to current treatment as well as research leading to new scientific discoveries about the autism.
Children's Specialized Hospital personnel have found that black and Hispanic children have been diagnosed with autism later than white children, due to flaws in how screening tests were used to diagnose children. The grant will help study a new approach to screening that was developed by the hospital's staff.
"If we can get kids diagnosed earlier, the treatment can mitigate behaviors that can lead to problems for the rest of their lives," Mansue said.
Peter H. Bell, executive vice president of the national advocacy group Autism Speaks, said early intervention is essential. Bell's wife, Elizabeth Bell, serves on the state council.
"That is a significant issue that we face in this community and it's very important that we create greater awareness and the potential for children of all backgrounds to be diagnosed in a timely fashion and be able to access the treatments that we know will work in helping children to get the best outcomes possible," Bell said.
These early interventions include applied behavioral analysis, an approach that seeks to modify behavior as early as possible, preferably by age 3.
"I think have an autism center of excellence is a very positive development for really orchestrating and coordinating the research efforts in New Jersey," Bell said, noting that the state is already among the national leaders in funding research and treatment.
State officials also hailed the center's potential for researching and developing new treatments and approaches.
"It is exciting because this is something that we've been working on, to improve the efficiency in our delivery of funding, to get more grants out more often and really get them to be more organized and orchestrated," said Mary E. O'Dowd, the state health commissioner.
"It's not just individual grants, randomly provided. We're really trying to be more thoughtful and structured and organized and we think we'll see better outcomes from the research and the use of that research and appropriate care in the future, as a result," O'Dowd said.
