Kelly Clarkson's SELF magazine cover was altered, the magazine's editor Lucy Danziger, confirmed earlier this week.
"Yes. Of course we do retouching (though it's technically not Photoshop, but that is semantics)," she said in an online blog post on Monday. "We correct color and other aspects of the digital pictures we take and then publish the best version we can."

Danziger's admission came after a seemingly artificially svelte portrait of the singer graced the cover. Ironically, the September issue had been billed the "Total Body Confidence" issue on the cover, and Kelly admitted in the mag that she is comfortable with her own figure.
"When people talk about my weight, I'm like, 'You seem to have a problem with it; I don't. I'm fine,'" Kelly said in her feature.

As for SELF, Danziger claims the photo was edited in the same way they do all of their cover shots.
"We mark up the photograph to correct any awkward wrinkles in the blouse, flyaway hair and other things that might detract from the beauty of the shot," Danziger wrote. "This is art, creativity and collaboration. It's not, as in a news photograph, journalism. It is, however, meant to inspire women to want to be their best. That is the point."
Danziger noted, however, that there is an unedited, true-to-life photo of Kelly inside the feature – one taken by the star on her phone.

The cover, the editor said, is used primarily to shift copies of the issue.
"A cover's job is to sell the magazine, " she wrote.

Just a short walk south-west from St Davids, Caerfai is a sheltered cove facing south across St Brides Bay, which presents a pleasant crescent of golden sands at low tide.
The descent from the clifftop carpark is a little precipitous, but well worth the effort for a nice day on the beach where the children can bathe or explore the rock pools in perfect safety.
Quarries on the cliffside provided the distinctive purple sandstone with which St Davids Cathedral was built and which has been used over the centuries to repair it, as did the quarry workings at Caerbwdi just around the corner beyond the headland called Penpleidiau. As recently as 1972 stone was quarried at Caerbwdi for stockpiling in the Cathedral Close to provide sufficient repair material for the next half century. The craggy promontory of Penpleidiau is topped by a magnificent Iron Age fort with four protective banks. The narrow isthmus leading onto the promontory gives the site of this well-defined ancient camp a natural defensive advantage, like a rocky drawbridge with a vertiginous drop on either side.
The 18th century antiquarian Richard Fenton states in his book 'Historical Tour Through Pembrokeshire' published in 1810, that this earthwork was "seemingy thrown up to repel the piratical Danes who much infested this coast." For those who love to explore the past, this fort is well worth a visit, not simply for its effect on the imagination but also for the splendid panoramic view it affords around and across the broad embrace of St Bride's Bay.
While exploring this part of the coast it is also worth keeping an eye out for the flora and fauna, for the cliffs are decorated with the beautiful pink, white and blue pastel hues of vernal squill, bluebell, sea campion, red campion and thrift. Banks of golden gorse, its heady coconut aroma filling the air, add to the pleasure. These cliffs are also populated by chough, raven, gull, fulmar and peregrine falcon, while gannets from the massive colony on distant Grassholm Island regularly patrol St Brides Bay for shoals on which these large white birds, with their black-tipped six foot wings, dive spectacularly.
Fenton commented on the unique conglomerate stone which he was shown in the vicinity of Caerfai. He described it as "a lava of immense fragments of curiously granulated and coloured marble, seemingly a concrete of various pebbles, which I think would amply repay the expense of polishing and working into chimney pieces, tables etc." Some, he said, which had been found at Caerbwdi, had been shaped into millstones which had lain there from time immemorial but had never been finished for use. On the cliff above Caerfai is a disused submarine telegraph office, a legacy of Victorian technological advances in transmitting messages across the Atlantic to America.

It's difficult to remember sometimes while living in the drudgery of Hollywood and trying to create a career in the industry and art form you love the most, why exactly it is that you love it. It's even more difficult to remember why you love movies in the first place when so many fail to meet expectations, even when failing means that the film was still entertaining enough. Several movies this year I've already stepped out of slightly disappointed at the filmmakers because it seemed they were more interested in being clever than in creating a story that was true to the human nature of the characters, and as I said these were movies I enjoyed: "The Illusionist", "The Prestige", "The Departed" … all films crafted well, acted well, and thoroughly enjoyable, but somehow disappointing in their final moments of execution – either flashing back to reveal too much, or enjoying a little too much story for their own good.
I've experienced one of those weeks (personally) in which nothing it seems like comes to fruition, and that you wonder how things ever could (another symptom created by the world of Los Angeles). You sit, or pace, or wander around in your car wondering if all the hard work you're putting into every aspect of your life will ever produce something of worth to yourself and others. Hope disappears completely, replaced by large chunks of doubt, worse even acceptance of the fact that you may never get anywhere… what a horrible thing to even consider accepting!
And this is where the two ideas tie together —

While it's true that a high drive dog is typically pretty energetic, drive is so much more than that. Drives are more like instinct, and are linked to survival. If a dog doesn't have the drive to hunt, stalk, chase, kill, or eat... well, he's not likely to survive! Therefore, Denise told us that when a dog satisfies a drive, he's also satisfying a basic need.
Drives are also innate. It is either in the dog or it's not, largely because we humans have impacted drives by selectively breeding dogs to perform various jobs for us. Herding, hunting, live-stock guarding- all these tasks use different drives. While a terrier has been bred to seek and destroy, a retriever has been bred to seek and return. Each dog, therefore, has it's own unique mixture of drives, high in some areas and low in others. While we can't create drive in an individual dog, Denise did say that we can strengthen what already exists by using it.
So what are the different drives? Denise identified four main drives that are useful in dog training:
Hunt drive is the act of finding something, typically with scent. A dog needs hunt drive in order to search for and get close to his food source (a bunny, chipmunk, whatever). Denise said that there are relatively few opportunities to use hunt drive in training. That said, when the opportunity arises, it can make boring exercises quite exciting! It is particularly useful for building obsession for an object- Denise showed us how to make a dog love his dumbbell by playing hide-and-seek games with it. Hunt drive can also be useful for teaching scent articles, as well as exercises that are not handler focused or require the dog to work at a distance from his handler. The downside to hunt drive is that it creates a lot of energy, and with that can come hectic thinking that can be difficult to channel into the task at hand.
Prey drive is a complementary drive. Once a dog has gotten close to his quarry, he switches into prey drive, and uses his sense of sight to find and catch it. We can harness prey drive in both tugging and retrieving games, both of which make great training rewards for known behaviors because they help increase speed, intensity, endurance and enthusiasm for the task at hand. Harnessing prey drive in training also lets us give distance rewards (by throwing a toy), can relieve stress, and is a great relationship builder.
We spent lots and lots of time discussing the application of prey drive to training, specifically with tugging. So much, in fact, that I'll have to devote a separate blog post to the proper way to play tug. I didn't really think there was that much to it, but considering the fact that before the seminar, Maisy wouldn't tug, and now she's waking me up in the middle of the night asking to play, well... clearly it's more complicated than I thought!
Food drive is... not that interesting. I mean, yes, a dog needs to eat, and I consider myself a consummate cookie pusher, but as Denise said: even a five year old can feed a dog. Food drive is great for teaching behaviors, because it allows you to get many repetitions in a short amount of time. It's also great for puppies who don't have much hunt or prey drive yet, for promoting calm, thinking behaviors, and for use in behavior modification.
The downside to the use of food in training is that trainers are often too generous with it. While this sounded like heresy to me, Denise shared that being liberal with the cookies actually devalues their power. She compared it to M&Ms: if you get one every 3 seconds, you'll probably get bored of them pretty quickly. If, on the other hand, you only get one every 3 minutes, they'll remain interesting much longer, and you'll be willing to work for them harder.
Finally, pack drive. This drive is all about relationship, which Denise described in her handout as a "fluid, dynamic process which is continually being reinforced or undermined." You need to be fully present when training with your dog in order to harness this relationship to its fullest.
I have tons and tons to say about this in future posts (this woman is amazing at interacting with and engaging dogs), but for now I'll simply leave you with a few of Denise's suggestions to develop and maintain a strong relationship with your dog. Always support his needs and recognize his limitations. Protect him from scary people, places, and things, not only during training or at trials, but in everyday life. Make sure that you're meeting all his needs- physical, mental, and emotional. And ensure he gets plenty of attention from you. In return, you'll receive natural focus and obedience.
So, why is it important to understand drives?
While work like herding or hunting is directly tied to a drive, performance sports are not. There is very little in obedience that intrisincally motivates a dog- heeling does not satisfy any dog's needs, for example- but we can use drives indirectly to engage and reward a dog for his performance. Denise said that handlers who develop their dog's drives to a high level will have reliable and intense competitors because the dog, when well-trained, will perform with the same enthusiasm that he plays- and that's a gorgeous picture!
The take away message is that you should figure out the drives that your dog naturally engages in, and then find a way to use them during training. Part of the reason we spent so much time learning to tug well with our dogs is because it is a very easy way to tap into prey drive. Doing this will not only help build value for obedience exercises, but also build value for the handler. Since using drives satisfies basic needs, we can make it very fulfilling for our dogs to interact with us! Considering that we can't take toys or food into the ring, but we can take ourselves... well, it should be obvious that this is a huge benefit for competition!
As for Maisy, well, she's huge into chasing things (prey drive), although she's not so interested in the catching and killing part of the prey sequence. That's okay- I can still use the portions of that particular drive that she's interested in, work on building up the rest (it's there, just not well developed), and get some amazingly flashy performances as a result. Our heeling has already improved by leaps and bounds, far more than when we used food alone, and Maisy has tons of food drive!
I'd like to build on Maisy's hunt drive. She likes to sniff and search for things, but we haven't done much with this. Still, creating a bit of obsession for her dumbbell would be awesome, so I see some hide-and-seek games in our future.
And as for pack drive, well, I like to think we have a good relationship. Denise did say during our working spot on Monday that she was impressed by the way Maisy hung in there with me-she didn't wander off or give up- even when she wasn't sure what I expected from her. I just need to work on making sure Maisy knows how pleased I am with her. I can't take that relationship for granted, but rather, continually nurture it.
But more on that later. For now, I'd love to hear from you. Which drives does your dog naturally engage in? Which would you like to build up? How do you think it might affect your training? I can't wait to find out what you think!

Did you see the news that the world's most expensive violin is now on sale? The surprise is that it isn't a Stradivarius; it's a 1741 Guarneri Del Gesu formerly owned by the great French violinist Vieuxtemps. It is on sale for $18 million. Here is a photo:
Also in the news yesterday was story about the Ansel Adams negatives that were bought at a garage sale for $45. They are now reported to be worth $200 million!
Has the world gone crazy? Or am I just jealous of people who can afford these prices? For some reason these two stories really made me angry. Arts organizations all over the country are struggling to stay alive. Donations are down. Many pundits think performing arts tickets have become too expensive. And at the same time, one violin is on sale for $18 million. It's a world gone mad.
I'm going to listen to some Haydn to calm myself down. Beats a stiff drink any day.

Graco's XP70 helps a job coater protect metal efficiently
The company Prometa is situated near Dunkerque in northern France. Their main activity is the protection of metal. They employ 17 employees and have an ACQPA OHGPI certification.
Prometa is commonly known as "a job coater". They apply anti-corrosion paint on job sites and in their spray booth. They use a typical hot pot application. Most of the common paints used in anti-corrosion business are 2K epoxy-based, applied via a 1K airless unit with a pot life of 2 to 4 hours. The main obstacle for investing in 2K equipment is the fact that the company works by jobs: for every job there is a different anticorrosion system with different material suppliers and different mixing ratios.
A successful demonstration was carried out with a Graco XP70 applying a coat of Intergard 269 from AKZO International in an ambient application. The XP70 was installed inside the spray booth. Prometa has completely changed their production process and they now apply the same primer for most jobs. The primer is delivered in 200L drums and is compatible with the majority of the coatings that Prometa work with.
The savings generated from wasted paint, the economy of solvent, the 200L drum delivery and the labour cost saved for mixing the paint will generate a return on investment of less than one year.

Studies on the stereotype threat have typically used stereotypes that that are common in contemporary culture, i.e. the canonical example being the study that showed African American SAT scores lowered when faced with the stereotype that African Americans are less intelligent than other groups.
Have there been any studies where researchers invented a stereotype (i.e. something random, like "Hispanics perform more poorly at jump rope than other groups") and tested to see if it had any effect on well controlled test subjects?
Have there been any social studies where scientists have tried inventing a new stereotype and implanting it into the mainstream population? (I doubt this because of ethics issues, but it would certainly be interesting!)

There may be no greater tribute to a society's ingenuity and vision than Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza. Originally standing 481 feet (147 meters) tall, the Great Pyramid towers over monuments like the Statue of Liberty and Big Ben [source: PBS]. Of course, the pyramids are only part of ancient Egypt's legacy.
Over the thousands of years ancient Egyptians thrived, they ushered in perhaps the most advanced civilization the world had ever known, and many of the fixtures of their society are still commonplace. For instance, Egyptian women donned ornate jewelry and wigs, the men boxed, fenced and wrestled for sport and the children played with board games, dolls and other toys. They also thrived as inventors, and, as you'll see in this list of five amazing Egyptian inventions, their creations changed everything from fashion to agriculture so drastically that we still see their influence today.
Eye Makeup
Sure, eye makeup might not rank alongside fire or the wheel as one of the most important discoveries in human history, but it gives the Egyptians a run for longevity. Since they first invented eye makeup as far back as 4000 B.C., it's never gone out of style. Even more impressive, some cosmetically-minded cultures still create makeup using the same techniques pioneered by the Egyptians thousands of years ago. They combined soot with a mineral called galena to create a black ointment known as kohl, which is still popular today. They could also create green eye makeup by combining a mineral called malachite with galena to tint the ointment.
For the Egyptians, makeup was not limited to women. Status and appearance went hand in hand, and as far as the upper class was concerned, the more makeup the better. Fashion was only part of the reason for the Egyptians' notoriously heavy hand when applying eyeliner. They also believed that applying a thick coating of the stuff could cure various eye diseases and even keep them from falling victim to the evil eye.
Written Language
The use of drawings to tell stories is certainly nothing new; cave paintings found in France and Spain date all the way back to 30000 B.C. [source: Wherely]. But drawings and paintings wouldn't evolve into the first written language for thousands of years, when the first writing systems arose out of Egypt and Mesopotamia.
The Egyptian writing system began with pictograms, the first of which date back to 6000 B.C. [source: Harrow]. Pictograms were simple depictions of the words they represented, but they had limitations. Over time, Egyptians added other elements to their writing system, including alphabetlike characters that stood for certain sounds and other characters, allowing them to write out names and abstract ideas.
Today, everyone knows the Egyptians for the creation of hieroglyphics, which contained a mixture of alphabetic, syllabic symbols, as well as ideograms -- pictures that stood for whole words -- found extensively within Egyptian tombs and other places. The writing tells tales of war, politics and culture that give us a great understanding of ancient Egyptian society. Of course, we have the Rosetta stone to thank for our ability to interpret the writing. Its discovery, along with the work of French scholar Jean-Francois Champollion to decode the stone, marked the end of a 1,500-year-period during which Egyptian writing was shrouded in mystery [source: Discovering Egypt].
Papyrus Sheets
No one will deny that the Chinese changed the world forever with the invention of paper around 140 B.C., but what many people don't know is that the Egyptians had developed an admirable substitute thousands of years earlier from the papyrus plant [source: UCLA]. This stiff, reedlike plant grew (and continues to grow) in the marshy areas lining the Nile, among other places. Its tough, fibrous interior proved ideal for making durable sheets of writing material, along with sails, sandals, mats and other necessities of ancient Egyptian life. After the sheets were made, they were often combined into scrolls, which were then filled with everything from religious texts to literature and even music.
Ancient Egyptians kept the time-consuming process of manufacturing papyrus a closely guarded secret, allowing them to trade papyrus sheets throughout the region. Because the process was never documented, it was ultimately lost until Dr. Hassan Ragab found a way to make papyrus sheets in 1965 [source: Egyptian Papyrus].
The Calendar
Many of us would be lost without a calendar to help us remember dental appointments and important meetings, but in ancient Egypt, a calendar could mean the difference between feast and famine. Without a calendar, ancient Egyptians had no way of knowing when the annual flooding of the Nile would begin. Without that knowledge, their entire agricultural system would be put at risk, so a few thousand years before the common era, they started using one.
Their civil calendar was so closely tied into farming that the Egyptians divided it up into three main seasons: inundation, growing and harvest. Each season had four months, with each month divided into 30 days. Adding it all up, you get 360 days a year -- a bit short of an actual year. To make up the difference, the Egyptians added five days between the harvest and inundation seasons. These five epagomenal days, were designated as religious holidays set aside to honor the children of the gods [source: Weininger].
The Plow
While historians aren't entirely certain of where the plow originated, evidence suggests that the Egyptians and Sumerians were among the first societies to employ its use around 4000 B.C. [source: Pryor]. Those plows certainly had room for improvement. Likely built from modified hand tools, the plows were so light and ineffective that they are now referred to as "scratch plows" for their inability to dig deep into the ground. What's more, the plows ran on nothing more than elbow grease. For instance, wall paintings illustrate four men pulling a plow through a field together -- not a great way to spend a day in the scorching Egyptian sun.
That all changed in 2000 B.C., when the Egyptians first hooked their plows to oxen [source: Leju]. Early designs were connected to the horns of cattle but proved to interfere with the animal's ability to breathe. Later versions incorporated a system of straps and were much more effective. The plow revolutionized farming in ancient Egypt and, combined with the steady rhythm of the Nile River, made farming easier for the Egyptians than perhaps any other society of the time.
Breath Mints
The next time you peruse the counter at the 7-Eleven for Mentos or Breath Savers, you should thank the ancient Egyptians for devising a way to conceal the unpleasant aromas our mouths sometimes exude. Just as in modern times, bad breath in ancient Egypt often was a symptom of poor dental health. Unlike us, the Egyptians didn't gorge on sugary soft drinks and foods that contribute to tooth decay, but the stones they used to grind flour for bread contributed a lot of sand and grit to their diet, which wore down tooth enamel to expose the pulp of the tooth, making it vulnerable to infection.
The Egyptians had specialists for many medical problems, but unfortunately, they didn't have dentists or oral surgeons to fix their deteriorating teeth and gums. Instead, they simply suffered, and scientists who've examined mummies have found severely worn teeth and evidence of abscesses, even in youthful Egyptians. To cope with the unpleasant odors from their rotting mouths, Egyptians invented the first mints, which were a combination of frankincense, myrrh and cinnamon boiled with honey and shaped into pellets [source: Brier and Hobbs].
Writers of the 1998 comedy film "The Big Lebowski," in which pivotal scenes take place in a bowling alley, might have had to find a different motif if it hadn't been for the ancient Egyptians. In Narmoutheos, a settlement 56 miles (90 kilometers) south of Cairo that dates back to the Roman occupation period in the second and third centuries A.D., archaeologists have discovered a room containing a set of lanes and a collection of balls of various sizes. Measuring about 13 feet (3.9 meters) long, the 7.9-inch-wide (20-centimeter), 3.8-inch-deep (9.6-centimeter) lane featured a 4.7-inch (11.9-centimeter) square opening at its center.
Unlike modern bowling, in which bowlers strive to knock down pins at the end of the alley, Egyptian bowlers aimed for the hole in the middle. Competitors stood at opposite ends of the lane and attempted to roll balls of different sizes into the center hole and in the process also knock their opponent's ball off course [source: Lorenzi].
Shave and a Haircut
Perhaps the Egyptians were the first ancient people to fuss over their hair, or perhaps not. But either way, they considered hair unhygienic, and the sweltering heat of their homeland made long tresses and beards uncomfortable. Thus, they cut their hair short or shaved their heads and faces regularly. Priests, who apparently were especially averse to hirsuteness, shaved their entire bodies every three days [source: Knight]. For much of their history, being clean-shaven was considered fashionable, and being stubbly came to be considered a mark of poor social status.
To that end, the Egyptians invented what may have been the first shaving implements, a set of sharp stone blades set in wooden handles, and later replaced those with copper-bladed razors. They also invented the barbering profession. The first barbers made house calls to wealthy aristocrats' houses but tended to ordinary customers outdoors, seating them on benches underneath shady sycamore trees.
Oddly, though, they also retained a fascination for facial hair, or at least the appearance of having some. The Egyptians took shorn hair and sheep's wool and fashioned them into wigs and fake beards -- which, even more oddly, were sometimes worn by Egyptian queens as well as kings [source: Dunn]. The fake beards had various shapes, to indicate the dignity and social position of their wearer. Ordinary citizens wore small fake beards about 2 inches (5 centimeters) long, while kings wore their phony whiskers to extravagant lengths and had them trimmed to be square at the end. Egyptian gods had even more luxurious long beards, which were turned up at the tip [source: King].
The Door Lock
Whenever you lock your door at night and slide the deadbolt into place, say a prayer of thanks for the ancient Egyptian invention of door locks. The earliest such device, created around 4000 B.C., basically was a pin-tumbler lock, in which a hollowed-out bolt in the door was connected to pins that could be manipulated by insertion of a key. When the key pushed upward on the pins, they slipped away from the bolt shaft, allowing it to be withdrawn.
One drawback of these ancient locks was their size. The biggest ones were up to 2 feet (0.6 meters) in length [source: How It Works]. Egyptian locks actually were more secure than the technology later developed by the Romans, who used a simpler design with a spring rather than a bolt to hold the door in place. The Roman locks were hidden inside the door, but compared to the Egyptian locks, they were relatively easy to pick [source: de Vries].
As we mentioned previously, the Egyptians had a lot of trouble with their teeth, in large part because their bread had grit and sand in it, which wore out their enamel. While they didn't have dentistry, they did make some effort to keep their teeth clean. Archaeologists have found toothpicks buried alongside mummies, apparently placed there so that they could clean food debris from between their teeth in the afterlife. Along with the Babylonians, they're also credited with inventing the first toothbrushes, which were frayed ends of wooden twigs.
But the Egyptians also contributed a innovation to dental hygiene, in the form of toothpaste. Early ingredients included the powder of ox hooves, ashes, burnt eggshells and pumice, which probably made for a less-than-refreshing morning tooth-care ritual [source: Colgate.com]. Archaeologists recently found what appears to be a more advanced toothpaste recipe and how-to-brush guide written on papyrus that dates back to the Roman occupation in the fourth century A.D. The unknown author explains how to mix precise amounts of rock salt, mint, dried iris flower and grains of pepper, to form a "powder for white and perfect teeth" [source: Zoech].

Advice from a former American ambassador.
Pakistan and America have had some tough years. When President Obama first took office, Pakistan had just returned to democracy after years of military rule, and many were optimistic that the two countries could build a new and healthy relationship.
Leaders in both countries hoped they could contribute to regional stability, promote prosperity, and work together against militancy and terrorism. Instead, despite great effort, we've seen increasing mistrust and skepticism on both sides. Now, as President Obama begins his second term, Pakistanis prepare for an election that, if it proceeds as hoped, would mark the successful completion of a civilian term of office and the continuation of civilian institutional rule, flawed as Pakistani democratic institutions might be.
In both capitals, the high hopes of 2008-2009 have given way to a more sober mood. We now should engage realistic assessments of what we can do. Let me suggest how we can assess the last four years, and look forward to progress in the next four and beyond.
First, the common task of fighting militancy and terrorism remains a priority for both countries. I believe it is a mistake for America to view Pakistan exclusively through the optic of our efforts in Afghanistan, as we've too frequently done in recent years. And yet as the situation changes in Afghanistan in 2014 and beyond, we need to marry realistic timelines and policy decisions with the priorities of Pakistani officials. This means continuing with the successful formula of high-level meetings that combine military and civilian leaders from both countries ("three-on-three"), talking together about military and civilian topics, so that joint decisions on security issues are not hampered, or even crippled, by institutional barriers in either government.

For picture purposes, I stacked the jars, but you do not want to store your jars this way. You shouldn't do this for most jars because if there is a problem with your canning and gases start accumulating in the jars, it will pop the lid off. You want that to happen so that you know it is no longer good. Anyways, here's a recipe I used.
Pickled Beets:
7 lbs. beets
4 cups 5% vinegar
1 1/2 tsp pickling or canning salt
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
2 cinnamon sticks
12 whole cloves
Trim the beets (ends and stalks to about an inch) and wash. Bring to a boil in a pan of water until they are tender, 25-30 min. Let beets cool and throw out the cooking liquid (you can let that cool and water a part of your garden with it). Once cooled, cut up your beets. I made mine into 1/4" slices, but I've seen people use dices as well. I've also seen baby beets canned whole. You decide! Combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, and the water. Use a cheesecloth for the spices or a tea infuser ball and place in vinegar mixture. Bring to a boil and then add the beets for five more minutes. Remove the spice bag and start filling your jars, leaving 1/2" headspace. Pints and quarts are process for 30 minutes at sea level. Since I am at a high elevation, I had to process for 40 minutes. This recipe makes approximately 8 pints.
Now I had leftover pickling liquid. Waste not, want not. In Pennsylvania, there is this beautiful creation called "red beet eggs." Once you are done with the beets, use your liquid to infuse hard boiled eggs. Store in the fridge over night and try them the next day.
This is the only picture I have because the family ate them all...very quickly! I haven't looked into whether or not these can be canned. ??? I swear I have seen them canned but that could be my over-40 mind playing tricks on me. Let me know if you know this is a canning recipe as well. ??? For safety's sake until we know for sure, keep them in your fridge until all is consumed! I hope you enjoyed this post! Blessings to you! Enjoy your harvest and the work of your hands!

actually when i opened my school i thought all decent kite schools were iko affiliated and a few years ago alot were. i probably shouldnt be surprised there are so few left.
i had a problem with an examiner running an instructor course at my club. iko refused to talk to me about it. they finally got their training manager david dorn to call me after i posted what happened on kite forum. they eventually fired the examiner but i never got an apology. now i would rather get my fees refunded.

What kind of value did you expect for your money? Were you thinking the brand name IKO was going to give your place some credibility and increase your business volume? Did you consider simply setting up shop on your own without the brand name or some certification? Just curious what motivated you to send them money in the first place.

GENEVA (Reuters) - China has overtaken the United States to become the world's biggest processor of patent applications, giving an innovative edge to Beijing's economic and industrial clout, a U.N. report said on Tuesday.
Inventors and firms, the vast majority of them Chinese, filed 526,000 applications to patent offices in the country in 2011, a quarter of the global total, said the U.N.'s World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
"It's a historic turning point," WIPO Director-General Francis Gurry told Reuters after the report was released in Geneva.
"Even though caution is required in directly comparing IP (intellectual property) filing figures across countries, these trends nevertheless reflect how the geography of innovation has shifted," the annual report added.
The United States, which processed 503,000 applications in 2011, had been in the top spot since 2006. The only other past holders were Germany and Japan.
Gurry told journalists the data showed China was embracing the intellectual property system and he expected it would keep its lead in 2012.
"I would say that they are producing more, which would suggest they have a strong interest in the technological production being protected," he told a news briefing.
But any hope China markets had turned their back on knock-off goods and pirated brands was rubbished by another study on Tuesday, for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which ranked Beijing as one of the world's worst protectors of copyrights and patents.
The fastest growth in patent filings over the past five years came in the digital communications sector, said Carsten Fink, WIPO chief economist.
"On one hand this reflects technology opportunities that exist in this field, this is something we observe every day as we use our smart phones. But arguably it also reflects the fierce competition among innovating firms in this sector and the need to protect their intellectual property in the marketplace," Fink said.
Japan was in third with 342,610 patent applications filed in 2011, followed by South Korea with 178,924 and the European Patent office with 142,793, according to WIPO.
The European Union took a step closer to an EU-wide patent on Tuesday with lawmakers voting to cut the cost of protecting inventions and a top adviser to Europe's highest court rejecting a challenge to the new scheme.

LSNED Sept 1
The lesson today was one I already knew and really didn't need to be reminded of. Driving away from Gracia and leaving her in Newcastle to start her fourth year at uni was just as hard as when I left her for the first time. Although she looks happy in this picture, if it were taken five seconds later we would both be in floods of tears.
Reasons to be cheerful:
1. Gracia has such fabulous housemates this year, I know she will be very happy.
2. The worry of getting to the hospital using the metro and a bus has been alleviated as she has found someone to car share with.
3. No studying just working in hospitals this year - more time for doing things she wants to do in her spare time and the promise of more visits home = happy mum and dad.

David Cameron has gone out not with a bang, nor a whimper, but a mystery tune.
Seconds after the British prime minister finished telling reporters of his intention to step down from office this week, he walked back through the door of his Downing Street residence — and the live microphone he was still wearing caught him in an unguarded musical moment.
"Do doooooooo, do doooo," he sang to himself, according to the clip sent by BBC reporter Daniel Sandford.
U.S. & World
It wasn't immediately clear what tune Cameron was singing, but the social media world poured forth with often-satirical suggestions. One writer opined that Cameron had just unwittingly revealed the secret "Open Sesame" musical code for the Downing Street door. Another theorized that it was Cameron's personal "game over" videogame hook. Some thought they detected a hint of "The West Wing" theme tune.
Soon, hastily remastered clips of Cameron's doings accompanied to the beats of Dr. Dre were doing the social media rounds.
Cameron said Monday he will step down in two days in favor of Theresa May, a senior member of his Cabinet who will become Britain's second female Prime Minister. May's main rival for prime minister stepped down at noon Monday, making May leader-in-waiting.
Cameron had announced his resignation last month because he backed the losing side in a referendum for Britain to leave the European Union. So did May — but infighting, bad timing and cold feet among leaders of the victorious "leave" campaign means that she will have the task of leading a divided country out of the EU.

|Unknown Wisconsin newspaper clipping
"Mrs. Nick Uelman [hand-dated Nov. 30, 1961]
Funeral services for Mrs. Nick Uelman, 76, West Bend, who died today at St. Joseph's hospital there, will be Monday at 9 a.m. at Millers Funeral home, Kewaskum, and at 9:30 a.m. at St. Michael's church at St. Michael. The Rev. Matthew Urban will officiate.
Mrs. Uelman had been in ill health for six months. She was born April 20, 1885, near St. Killian and lived there until 1921. Between 1921 and 1958 she resided in the St. Michael area. She moved to West Bend three and one-half years ago.
In 1908 she married Andrew Delling, who preceded her in death in 1915. She married Nick Uelmen April 5, 1921, at St. Killian.
Surviving are her widower; one daughter, Mrs. Roman Boegel, Theresa; three step-children, Mrs. Herbert Donath, West Bend, Frank Uelman, West Bend, and Elroy Uelman, West Bend; 13 grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and two sisters, Mrs. Al Herriges, Wayne Center, and Mrs. Ben Wondra, Theresa.
Friends may call at the funeral home after 2 p.m. Sunday until the time of services."
Very odd that they don't mention her maiden name or parents in the obituary, but I suppose they may not have known (or felt it important).
NOTE: Surname is spelled Uelman and Uelmen in this article. I have seen several variations in different articles and memorial cards.

David Axelrod has lost his signature mustache — for a good cause.
President Barack Obama's senior strategist had his trademark feature shaved off on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday, in an appearance also broadcast on the "Today" show.
But while Axelrod is now a few whiskers poorer, the epilepsy research non-profit his wife runs is now more than $1 million richer.
"How are we feeling, David?" Joe Scarborough, host of "Morning Joe," asked him on the set of the political talk show.
"Faint," Axelrod said from his seat in a barber's chair, with his wife Susan by his side. "I was up all night, to be honest with you," he added.
After 40 years with his trademark 'stache, Axelrod had promised to shave it off if Susan Axelrod's organization Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy — a condition the couple's oldest child suffers from — could raise more than $1 million.
By Friday morning, the group had raised $1,049,797, according to the campaign's website.
Initially, Axelrod had made a bet with Scarborough over his facial hair concerning the presidential election, not epilepsy, promising to shave it off if Obama lost three key states. Scarborough was supposed to grow a mustache if he lost.
Axelrod won that bet, but public interest in the possibility of his bare face had already been piqued. Scarborough skirted his end of the bet, and the threat of having to grow a mustache, by offering to donate $10,000 to epilepsy research if Axelrod shaved his anyway.
The epilepsy fundraising drive reflected that interest. Donald Trump donated $100,000, while Obama, Carole King and 25,885 others also donated, according to Axelrod and his website.
Trump, for one, said he felt his money was well spent and complimented Axelrod's new look, saying that it reminded him of his own father's.

Hot rodders have been searching for stickier street tires since Louis Chevrolet squeezed a blown LS9 his Type C Classic Six in 1913. From day one, engine technology has outpaced tire technology and the game has always been to get a starting line advantage over the guy in the next lane.
Cheater slicks were the way to go in the '50s, while in the '60s, horsepower-addicted muscle car owners swapped on Atlas Bucrons to aid traction. Pretty soon, savvy tire manufacturers were in the business of building dedicated street/strip tires. One of the first (and to this day most successful) was the Mickey Thompson ET Street. Essentially, it was a slick with a couple of grooves carved into the face. The ET Streetworks great on the strip, but as a true street tire it leaves something to be desired if you like to carve corners or drive in the rain.
Then about 20 years ago, BFGoodrich shook things up when it introduced the drag radial. This was a DOT tire that you could actually use on a daily basis, then drive to your favorite drag strip, run low e.t.'s, and motor on home without the hassle of a tire change. It wasn't long before other companies jumped into the drag radial arena, with Nitto Tire and Mickey Thompson being two of the most active. It's been a huge battle ever since, with drag radial-specific classes being created by every sanctioning body that caters to real street machines.
Mickey Thompson offers both its ET Street Radial (with sizes between 235/60R15 and 275/40R17) and its ET Street Radial II, which the company describes as being "optimized for the modern sports cars and sport compacts." It offers this puppy in a wide range of fitments, from P205/50R14 to 305/45R18s.
Nitto's Extreme NT555R has been the company's offering in this category since mid-'90s and that's a long time in this business. It's still an excellent tire for the weekend drag racer, but for serious competition the company decided a new tire was necessary.
Enter the NT05R. It's got a far more aggressive tread pattern, a specialized race compound and large contact patch. It is DOT-approved, but is designed for the serious drag racer. Nitto has aimed the NT05R squarely at the modern muscle car market, including late-model Camaros and Corvettes. It ranges in size from 275/40R17 all they was up to 31535R20, with five other sizes in between.
We were able to procure an early production set of Nitto's NT05R in the size of 275/40R17 and went in search of a suitable car to test them on. The guys at sister publication GM High-Tech Performance recommended Tommy Herrschaft and his hard-charging '99 Camaro SS and he eagerly volunteered. For street tires, he uses MT ET Street Radial IIs, size 315/35R17, and was interested to see if his track times could be improved by switching brands. Suddenly, we had a tire shootout on our hands. We booked the mega-sticky Gainesville Raceway strip in Florida for some gear-jamming fun.
You'd never know by its show-quality appearance inside and out, but this fourth-gen runs like a madman. It has an LS3-based 416 ci engine for motivation and runs high-10s and low 11s au naturale and 9.80s at over 140 on nitrous. Best of all, it's got a T56 manual trans, which we thought would be better for testing the hard-launching capabilities of the tires. With Mickey Thompson 28x10 slicks, Tommy's SS has run a best of 10.78 at 128 on motor.
For our track day, we baselined the car with Tommy's street tires, the ET Street Radial IIs, before switching over to the Nittos. Our first concern was that the size differential between the Mickeys and the Nittos, which on paper gave the former a measurable width advantage. Also, the Nittos were brand new so we figured they'd need a little break-in at the strip before performing at an optimal level. Helping in our efforts on this day was Justin Nelson of J&J Performance in Cape Corral, Florida, who did the tune on the Camaro.
For Tommy's first pass, he set the Camaro's two-step to 3,200 rpm and dumped the clutch. Traction from the Mickey Thompsons bogged the engine, but the F-body still ran an 11.187 at 128.26 (1.85 short time). For the next pass, Justin raised the launch rpm to 3,500 and this seemed just about perfect. The car tore out of the hole (1.78 60-ft) and a couple of 6,800 rpm powershifts later, the clocks read 11.139 at 128.16. After a cool down, Tommy raised the launch rpm to 4,500 rpm, but it caused a major spinning problem out of the hole (1.92 short time) and a subsequent slowing at the big end-11.320 at 128.05. All runs were made with 22 psi in the tires, which worked great.
When we switched to the Nittos, we had a bit of a learning curve and the first pass was a tire-spinning mess. We started with 20 psi in the tires and a medium length burnout and got an 11.627 at 127.90 (3,800 rpm launch). Justin dropped the tire pressure for the next pass to 17 psi and the result was nearly identical.
After a brief cool-down, we dropped the air pressure to 15 psi and the launch rpm to 3,500. Tommy also did a longer burnout. We were rewarded with an 11.139 at 128.07, equaling the best elapsed time of the Mickey Thompsons, though the short time was still off, at 1.844.
From watching the car on the starting line, we determined that the sidewall on the Nitto NT05s was stiffer than that of the Mickey Street Radial II tires. As an experiment, Justin loosened the 12-way adjustable QA1 coilover front shocks and took one more psi from the NT05s. This turned out to be the magic formula. With a 3,500 rpm launch, Tommy ripped off an 11.104 at 128.40 (1.94 short time) and an 11.068 at 128.19 (1.779 60-ft). Lowering the starting line rpm to 3,400 (still shifting at 6,800), paid off with another 11.068, this time at 127.80, but with a best-of-the-day 1.770 60-ft).
At this point, Justin and Tommy put the ET Street Radial IIs back on the Camaro. The SS went 11.171 at 127.79 (1.84 60-ft) and 11.110 at 128.29 (1.804)-its best M/T pass-but it could not equal the times achieved on the Nittos.
In the end, the Nittos held the slightest of edges in both 60-ft time (1.77 vs. 1.786) and elapsed time (11.068 vs. 11.110). This gives them bragging rights for this story, but the real battle will be found in actual competition. This will be a war worth following in 2010 and beyond.

A Sandwich a Day: Turkey Melt at the Italian Food Center
A new sandwich every day.
In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
The Italian Food Center on Grand Street was one of Little Italy's few remaining old lions, a no-frills deli that served the neighborhood for half a century until its shuttering a couple years ago.
A new business has taken its place, replete with faux-aged typography and an industrial look that's more Rent: The Musical than Rent: The Tenement. But the sandwich/pizza shop and restaurant has retained the Italian Food Center's name, and it's undoubtedly after the tourist crowds that flood Little Italy's streets for half the year.
I was skeptical that I'd find anything good at this Epcot booth of a restaurant, but I'll admit: if you're looking for a good bite in the neighborhood, this place does nicely. Take the Turkey Melt ($9.75), a slender but well-constructed hot sandwich of thinly sliced turkey, mild cheese, and surprisingly bold pepper relish. The hot sandwiches here are pressed but not smushed like over-eager panini, and the turkey itself is moist, not overcooked. I mean it about that pepper relish—it's bold enough to sting.
The sandwiches we've tried from Italian Food Center are about as filling as Parm's for a few bucks less. Definitely not the cheapest Italian lunch in the neighborhood, but one of the better ones.

Terrence Park took a deep breath and the UC Berkeley math and biostatics major came out on Thursday: As an undocumented immigrant.
The UC Berkeley math club president is a high-profile participant in Silicon Valley billionaire philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs's "Dream Is Now" campaign, which supports amnesty for undocumented immigrants going to school and otherwise working hard to fulfill the typical American Dream story, according to the Bay Area News Group. Powell Jobs is the widow of the late Steve Jobs.
Park said that he always tried to hide his undocumented status, but that coming out to "contribute" to the cause is "the least I can do," he told reporters.
In the video, Park, an "aspiring statistician," calculates that it costs $23,000 to deport an illegal immigrant, against $329 billion in tax revenue and other spending created by people like him if they are allowed to stay in the country, the newspaper reported.
Anyone can do that kind of math.
Park came to the country as a 10-year old with his mother and sister, both of whom entered the US on student visas and then stayed after they expired. They worked at supermarkets and laundromats in order to make ends meet, according to the newspaper.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Pebble Beach is the great equalizer, so the 2019 U.S. Open won't just come down to which of the big bombers has the hottest week.
At least half of the field at the PGA Championship teed off at Bethpage last month with next to no chance to contend, and that was before Brooks Koepka erased everyone else's hopes. Half of the field simply didn't have the length to compete at the nearly 7,500-yard course, or the swing speed and angle of attack required to advance the ball far enough out of the rough. That won't be the case this week at Pebble Beach, where most players expect to hit just a handful of drivers per round.
"We're all going to be playing from virtually the same spots, and especially if it dries out," Tiger Woods said on Tuesday. "The longer guys will be hitting a shorter club; the shorter guys will be able to sneak driver down there. We're all playing from the same spots (on the fairway)."
This doesn't mean that tee shots are insignificant because playing out of the four-inch rough here is certainly not ideal. The difference at Bethpage was that if your ball found the rough and you weren't a bomber, there was no way you could reach the green on at least half of the par fours. Here, at Pebble, your success out of the rough will have more to do with your lie than simply the distance left to the green. The rough is deep but clumpy, meaning there are good lies to be found that wouldn't be possible in uniformly gnarly rough. Also, being able to find the right angle to attack Pebble's tiny greens will be paramount.
"How do you put the ball in the correct position is the key," Woods said. "And these greens, we don't face greens like this, this small and this steep. And so it puts a premium on iron play."
Woods said that during his legendary 15-shot victory at the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, it wasn't that he hit every fairway or every green, but that he gave himself good angles for his approach shots allowing his misses to find the right spots off the greens.
Speaking of the tiny greens, they can get bumpy throughout the day as the Poa sprouts up in the sun, which golfers at the RBC Canadian Open saw last week.
"The trick to putting on Poa is to make sure you're always below the hole," Woods said. "If you're putting downhill, it's like a Plinko effect, you're going to go every which way. The key is to be below the hole where you can take low lines and try and take the bumpiness out of play."
Putting maestro Jordan Spieth, however, said that the greens this week are the best Poa greens he has ever played on.DAY OFF FOR WOODS
Tiger spoke with the media on Tuesday but didn't hit the course, instead choosing to rest, which in 2019 means your phone instantly starts buzzing with injury rumours.
"Just a rest day," Woods said. "I did the same thing at Augusta. Just trying to save my energy. More important for me to feel energized than it is to go out there and get wear and tear."
The reason some eyebrows were raised was that the 16-time major champion said something similar at last month's PGA Championship before later admitting he was under the weather and perhaps battling a stiff back – something he wasn't very interested in elaborating on during Tuesday's press conference.
The wily Woods also said he would rather practice on Wednesday knowing that the USGA might be forced to show its hand with course conditions more than on Tuesday.
"This week I feel like I'm trending in the right direction," he said. "I need one more day of prep. I want to see the golf course when it's a little bit closer to game time. I know they're holding it back, but I just want to see how much are they going to let it go and show us how it's going to be come Thursday."O MY CANADA!
Spieth was very impressed with Rory McIlroy's runaway win in Hamilton last week. He said that nothing the four-time major winner does would surprise him, but that it was fun to watch.
"What he did on Sunday was pretty incredible," Spieth said. "It's just taking the tournament the way he wanted to just right off the bat. I think he almost drove the first hole and bombed it on the second hole. It wasn't surprising, though. But it's not easy. It's not just taken for granted. It's not easy to do, even for him. That's really incredible what he did."
Don't worry guys, the chip on Brooks Koepka's shoulder isn't going anywhere. And on Tuesday at Pebble Beach, he found more fuel for his fire.
"There's a commercial ran now where I'm not even in it, and FOX put it up for a preview of the U.S. Open," the back-to-back champ said. "So I don't know. You guys tell me."
It wasn't any better at the RBC Canadian Open last week where he was wronged by an unknown Canuck. Like many Koepka stories, it took place at the gym and involved his pal and – apparently former – workout partner Dustin Johnson.
"I was working out next to some guy in Canada, and he was talking about – because we don't work out together anymore – but there was some guy that was talking about how Dustin was just in there and how cool it was," Koepka said. "And I was with my trainer, Barrett, and we were just kind of laughing. I just couldn't tell what he was doing, but it was funny talking about he was working out next to Dustin and how cool it was. It was just funny. I just laughed."
Yes, he laughed.
He laughed and laughed and laughed, and then decided he would win the next six U.S. Opens.CHIP SHOT
As someone who writes thousands of words a day for a living, I better watch out for one of the guys working in the media dining room here at Pebble Beach. Despite not being a golf fan, he somehow managed to deliver a compelling, on-the-money preview of this week's U.S. Open to one of his co-workers in just three sentences:
"This is a big tournament because everyone likes it here, and Tiger is playing, and he's getting old."
"Is he going to retire?"
"I don't know, but he hasn't won this tournament since 2008."
"Why not?"
"I don't know. Because it's hard I guess."

There has been considerable discussion, controversy and media attention surrounding a malpractice suit against St. Thomas More Hospital and Catholic Health Initiatives, our sponsor. We'd like to help set the record straight on this difficult and tragic case.
Providing access to compassionate, high-quality health care services is the top priority for St. Thomas More, and patient care will never be compromised. We are proud to have extended the healing ministry of Christ to the sick, the injured and the poor in Fremont County for 75 years, a legacy we continue today. It is our responsibility and it is our calling.
Unfortunately, complicated questions involving issues such as Church law, Colorado's Wrongful Death Act and the definition of "personhood" have blurred or distorted the heroic efforts of the medical personnel who did all they could on New Year's Day 2006 to try to save the lives of 31-year-old Lori Stodghill and her unborn twins.
Lori Stodghill, who was 28 weeks pregnant, died from pulmonary emboli and the complete obstruction of her left and right pulmonary arteries. She stopped breathing, collapsed and went into cardiac arrest upon arrival at St. Thomas More. While an emergency room physician began immediate efforts to resuscitate her, a nurse using Doppler technology detected neither fetal movement nor heart tones. An obstetrician ordered a fetal ultrasound, which confirmed an absence of fetal cardiac activity or movement.
Two courts of law — the Circuit Court in Fremont County and the Colorado Court of Appeals — have unequivocally supported the position by Catholic Health Initiatives and St. Thomas More Hospital that nothing done by doctors, nurses and other staff members could have changed that horrific outcome. In fact, District Court Judge David Thorson dismissed the case before it went to trial, ruling that the evidence did not "present a triable issue of fact."
In a Feb. 4 press release, the Archdiocese of Denver stated: "We have every reason to believe that St. Thomas More Hospital provided excellent and conscientious medical care in this case." According to court records, even an expert witness for Jeremy Stodghill, the victim's husband, agreed that further action by the health care providers at St. Thomas More would have been in vain. In other words, no procedure — including a Caesarean section — would have saved Lori Stodghill's life.
Misinformation has also been spread about the hospital attempting to garnish Jeremy Stodghill's wages. Catholic Health Initiatives and St. Thomas More Hospital did not file a lien or pursue a claim in bankruptcy court against Jeremy Stodghill. One of the physician co-defendants, who is not an employee of Catholic Health Initiatives or St. Thomas More Hospital, did pursue garnishment. Mr. Stodghill filed bankruptcy to stop the garnishment.
Under Colorado law, as the prevailing party in a malpractice lawsuit, Catholic Health Initiatives was entitled to recover actual costs incurred in the case, including such expenses as deposition charges and payments to expert witnesses. Catholic Health Initiatives and St. Thomas More Hospital were awarded approximately $47,000. Catholic Health Initiatives offered to waive those costs if Mr. Stodghill accepted the decision of the Circuit Court and did not pursue an appeal. That offer was ignored, and Catholic Health Initiatives and St. Thomas More have never pursued a collection of those costs.
The heartbreaking circumstances have touched everyone involved — including the medical personnel at St. Thomas More — who performed their duties heroically and selflessly in an ultimately futile effort to save Lori Stodghill and her two unborn children. As always, our sympathies and prayers continue to be with the Stodghill family.

Yes Indeed
Last night the Yankees continued their recent string of inconsistency, losing 7-2 to the Detroit Tigers in the opening game of their four-game series at Comerica Park. Derek Jeter and Robinson Cano accounted for the only two runs the Yanks plated on the night, mustering the lone RBIs. Last night's game may have been more appropriately titled, "The Justin Verlander Show."
Verlander was a virtuoso, shutting down the Yankees with a brilliant 14-strikeout performance over eight innings of work. Ivan Nova on the other hand kept his winless streak alive, falling to 10-6. He only tossed 5.1 innings and let up seven earned runs on 11 hits on the way to the loss. Nova hasn't won a game in five consecutive starts.
The boys from the Bronx didn't do much better tonight, dropping a 6-5 decision to the Tigers, a ninth inning rally falling just short. Russell Martin clubbed an RBI double to plate Eric Chavez after Ichiro singled to bring in Raul Ibanez, but they couldn't get that tying run – or potential winning run – across the dish.
In the seventh Ichiro doubled to bring home Nick Swisher, and Chavez smashed an opposite-field two-run homer in the fourth to highlight the Yankees' night on offense.
Like Nova, starter Phil Hughes struggled. He was pounded for eight hits and allowed four earned runs in the 4.1 innings he pitched. In the fourth he all but lost command, throwing 42 pitches, laboring through the frame. Hughes now falls to 11-9 and his ERA – which was 3.96 heading into tonight's action – is back up to 4.10.
The Yanks have now gone 9-13 since July 15; a losing record, although New York still sits atop the AL East standings at 63-46, four and a half games ahead of the Baltimore Orioles.
While the Bombers were getting bombed these past couple of nights in the Motor City, I enjoyed yet another little accolade. Well, something to blog about, anyway.
The YES Network has recently been featuring the "YES Network Games" during its broadcasts; a mini in-game contest in which viewers can tweet in questions to the announcers. If they pick your question, they will show it on TV (along with your Twitter handle) and the announcers have a half-inning to come up with an answer.
If their answer is correct, they get a point, and my guess is, whichever YES announcer has the most points at the end of the season wins. During the day yesterday I tweeted in my question:
Lo and behold, during the bottom of the sixth inning of last night's game, my name and question appeared on the YES Network. I thought for a second I had Michael Kay stumped. He seemed a little unsure of himself.
But he came up with the correct answer, Jaret Wright, as did Meredith Marakovits and John Flaherty. I immediately attempted to tweet Kay back, trying to tell him to tell Flaherty that I met him in 2009. Flaherty actually came to my college (Mercy) and I met him and wrote an article about him for the student newspaper.
He must not have seen it though, because I didn't hear back from him.
However, I did hear from a number of people who saw my name on TV. In fact, two of my friends, Mike and Sean – who coincidently enough are also local sports reporters – each texted me and told me that they saw my name on YES. Mike's text was pretty cool:
"I see you made it on YES. You are the man. It was Jaret Wright. Funny that was your question. I was just thinking about that disaster of a series in the beginning of tonight's game. I at least went to Game One of that series before things went downhill. Take care, A.J."
Sean's text was just as nice:
"Just saw your name on the YES broadcast. Remember me when you're famous, broski. LOL."
I simply replied, "I hope I'm famous someday, Sean. I hope."
This now marks the fourth time YES has used my name. On June 8 they used my tweet on their "Extra Innings" show after the Yankees squadoosh'd the Mets 9-1, and they've used my Facebook comments in 2009 and 2010. My good friend Virginia over at "Eat, Sleep, and Breathe Yankees" wrote on my Facebook wall,
"Seriously, YES should just hire you already."
That comment sparked a little Twitter hashtag rally – namely among my close friends Brian and Jenn, and my cousin Joe – called, @YESNetwork #HireAJMartelli
I would absolutely love to work for YES; in a way it'd be like a dream. With a lot of support, encouragement, and perhaps some good luck, maybe some day that dream will come true.

DiNapoli endorses Suozzi for county executive
State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli has endorsed his one-time political rival, Thomas Suozzi, as Suozzi seeks his old seat as Nassau county executive in November.
DiNapoli, who lost to Suozzi in a heavily contested 2001 Democratic primary for county executive, said Suozzi will restore fiscal responsibility to Nassau.
"Tom has the experience to put Nassau on a path to a more secure future," DiNapoli said.
Suozzi said DiNapoli is "committed to making government more efficient and ethical. He shares my vision for the future of the county."
Suozzi, who lost to Republican Edward Mangano in 2009, is facing a Democratic primary against East Hills businessman Adam Haber, who said he sought DiNapoli's endorsement. County Democratic leaders back Suozzi.
"After years of scandal-plagued administrations, Nassau families remain frustrated by a government run by political insiders that leave the rest of us overtaxed and underserved," said Haber campaign manager Justin Myers. "Adam Haber has a plan to clean up government and give Nassau the fresh start it needs."
In 2001, DiNapoli, then a Great Neck assemblyman, was the party establishment's candidate while Suozzi, a four-term Glen Cove mayor, was considered an underdog. Suozzi spent nearly $2 million in a campaign that largely avoided personal attacks and defeated DiNapoli by eight percentage points.
DiNapoli, who was elected comptroller in 2007, said he has since become close friends with Suozzi and that "2001 happens to be a long time ago."
DiNapoli is bucking the county Democratic Party in supporting Howard Weitzman as Weitzman seeks to regain his old seat as county comptroller. Party leaders are supporting Legis. Wayne Wink (D-Roslyn).
