The Smithtown Town Board approved a $103 million budget for 2013, taking $7.3 million of rainy day funds to minimize the impact on homeowners' taxes at Tuesday's town board meeting.
The Town of Smithtown's $103 million budget represents a 2.4 percent yearly spending increase. It will raise property taxes by $46.83 for the average homeowners whose property is assessed at $5,500.
Superintendent Patrick Vecchio said one of the single largest costs increases in the 2013 budget was the $1.8 million for the town's pension and hospitalization insurance.
On Tuesday, town board members made an extensive list of changes to the supervisor's preliminary expected increases in revenue and minor departmental cutbacks helped keep the overall budget relatively level.
Under the 2013 budget, assistant town attorney Martin Simon will receive a $10,000 salary increase, receiving about $70,000 per year, approximately one year after his hire date. Other significant salary raises incorporated in the budget include a $10,000 raise for Traffic Safety Director Mitchell Crowley, who has worked 6 years for the town, and a hourly increase for senior planner Peter Hans.
"I agree with those three raises, but the others were added by town board members," Vecchio said.
The supervisor said Simon was given a raise after gaining a year of training and experience while working as the town's prosecuting attorney. Crowley has worked hard to earn Smithtown between $6 million to $7 million from various governmental agencies for local traffic improvements, according to Vecchio.
The 2013 budget does not make any cuts to town services or propose any layoffs, unlike the budget approved by the neighboring Town of Islip.
In order to keep taxes down, Smithtown elected officials agreed to take $7.3 million from the town's $28.5 million in reserve funds. While less than the $9 million taken out of the town's reserves in 2009, this move will use up approximately 25 percent of the "rainy day fund".
The majority of the tapped reserve funds, $3 million of the $7.3 million, will go towards Smithtown's general fund. Another $1.8 million in reserves will be put towards balancing the residential waste district's expenses.
"This will not be sustainable unless the economy changes and more revenue starts coming in," Vecchio said. "You have enough to go through 3 - 4 more years. The economy will change and revenue will increase, the question is when."
One concern Smithtown officials must face in the future is keeping enough of the projected $21.2 reserve funds to maintain the town's AA credit rating with Moody's.
The supervisor said he suspects the town may have a small surplus at the end of 2013 based on the approved budget, but any remainder could be eaten up by the town's tab for Hurricane Sandy cleanup or other unexpected expenses.

Ingrown beard hairs (pseudofolliculitis barbae) is inflammation caused by hairs that curl so that the tips puncture the skin.
This hair disorder most often occurs in the beard area of black men with tightly curled hair who shave. It can also occur in women who shave, especially in the groin area. Each ingrown hair results in a tiny, mildly painful pimple with a barely visible hair curling into the center. Scarring can result.
Doctors diagnose the condition by its typical appearance.
Treatment involves teasing the tips of any ingrown hairs out of the skin with the point of a needle or sharp tweezers. If there is much inflammation, doctors sometimes give low potency topical steroids or an antibiotic cream or pill. Benzoyl peroxide Some Trade Names
creams and retinoid creams can be helpful as well.
The best preventive treatment is to stop shaving and grow the beard. When the hairs are longer, they do not curl back and puncture the skin.
A man who does not want a beard can use a depilatory (a liquid or cream preparation that removes unwanted hair), although it often irritates the skin. Also, hair can be permanently removed with electrolysis or with laser treatment (see see Overview of Growths and Malformations of the Vessels). People who must shave should wet the beard first and should shave in the same direction in which the hair grows. People should avoid shaving closely with multiple razor strokes. Applying eflornithine Some Trade Names
cream may help by slowing hair growth.

The story of a White House butler has moments of cagey insight but lacks a certain focus.
Critic Ann Hornaday must be on vacation and her fill-in John Anderson needs to be on a permanent vacation because he sure missed this one! The film was moving, entertaining and informative from beginning to end. Touched every emotion and was very well written, acted and directed! I will see it again!
My husband and I went to see the movie and we were so touched by it. The entire movie was excellent and the actors were right on spot especially Forest whittaker and Oprah. We enjoyed the entire movie and it truly kept us interested from beginning to end. How in the world could anyone rate this movie anything but a four and if we could rate it higher we would.

CLINTON — Two Clinton School District employees were on the verge of termination at Monday's school board meeting, but one employee came out of it maintaining her position with the district.
Michelle Hagerman narrowly escaped termination Monday after the school board voted 4-3 against the recommendation to fire her, citing incomplete information warranting the termination. The board met in closed session on Monday to discuss the alleged violation of district rules against Hagerman, as indicated by nine employee complaints.
But the issue, according to Board President Jim McGraw, was that it was unclear to the board as to whether the nine complaints came from the same employee or from different employees.
Shirley Patey's employment also was discussed Monday in a school board closed session meeting. A 6-1 vote approved the recommendation to terminate Patey due to a violation of district rules and regulations.

On June 14, 2014, the City Council approved Phase I of the City's Waterfront Landscape and Flood Mitigation Design Project. This design builds on the illustrative concept design for the Waterfront that is shown in the City's Waterfront Small Area Plan (SAP) approved in January 2012. The Phase I design is a major step forward in the implementation process for the SAP and it reflects a strong collaborative effort between the City, the Community, and the consultant teams from The Olin Studio and URS Corporation. The design provides connectivity along the Waterfront from Tidelock Park in the north to Windmill Hill Park in the south, it increases visual and physical accessibility to and from the water, it enhances and improves public spaces, it provides other amenities, and it accommodates the historic outcome of the City-Old Dominion Boat Club negotiations . Phase II of the design will begin in fall 2014. Read more about the City's Waterfront SAP Implementation effort.
The City of Alexandria will be employing the services of Sagres Construction Company for the construction of certain Stormwater Management improvements at Charles Barrett Elementary School. The purpose of the project is to improve the water quality of stormwater runoff discharging into the City's storm sewer system.
The intended improvements for this site include construction of a bio-retention facility, a below-grade prefabricated filtration device, and storm pipe replacements. Bio-retention is a process in which contaminants and sedimentation are removed from stormwater runoff. The improvements will provide filtration and mitigate the existing ponding condition in the area. The bio-retention facility will be landscaped, thereby increasing tree canopy coverage while reducing mowing requirements. Furthermore, the bio-retention facility will provide an added educational benefit to the school.
The construction will begin June 23, 2014 and will last for a period not to exceed 180 days. It is anticipated the work will be substantially completed during the summer, weather permitting. Construction access to the site will be from Martha Custis Drive.
For further information, please contact the Project Engineer, David Fehr, P.E., at 703.746.4060.
The City of Alexandria will be employing the services of Avon Construction
Company for the construction of riprap slope protection along the north banks
of Backlick Run immediately east of the concrete channel section of the run.
Riprap is rock or other material used to armor shorelines, streambeds, pilings and other shoreline structures against scour, water or ice erosion. The purpose of the project is to prevent further erosion of the north bank and
restore channel geometry to original conditions.
During Tropical Storm Lee, which occurred
from September 5 through September 9, 2011, the City experienced severe flooding in the Backlick Run Watershed that included Backlick Run. The severe flooding caused the
riprap earthen embankment to be washed away.
construction began June 2, 2014 and will last for a period not to exceed 90 days,
weather permitting. Construction access
to the site will be from Deer Run Court.
For further information, please contact the Project Engineer, David Fehr, P.E. at 703.746.4060.
The City of Alexandria will be employing the services of Sagres Construction Company to construct sanitary sewer upgrade on Janneys Lane at the intersection with Taylor Run Parkway, and to perform stream restoration work in Taylor Run within the same vicinity. This project provides for the realignment of a sanitary sewer to eliminate the existing siphon in the sewer system, replacement of damaged headwalls on existing culverts, and stream restoration work upstream and downstream of the culverts. The construction is scheduled to begin in May, 2014 and it is expected to be completed in six months. Construction activities will require intermittent lane closures in the vicinity during non-peak hours. Access through the area and to and from adjacent properties will be maintained at all times. There will be no lane closures on Janneys Lane during rush hour. Temporary pedestrian detours will be provided when closure of crosswalks is required.

The City of Alexandria will be employing the services of Sagres Construction Company for the construction of a new sanitary sewer diversion structure on North West Street near the intersection with King Street. The purpose of the project is to improve system maintenance in accordance with regulatory requirements. The construction will commence in January of 2014 for six months and require the closing of a portion of West Street between King Street and Cameron Street for a portion of that time. There will be four parking spaces out of service during the project and a detour will be required. However, access to all businesses will be maintained at all times. If you have additional interest more detailed information can be obtained by clicking on the link below.
On Wednesday, July 31, Alexandria City Manager Rashad Young announced the creation of the Department of Project Implementation, and his selection of Emily Baker, P.E., as its Director. As part of the City's efforts to improve government performance for residents and businesses, and to better align our work with the City's strategic plans and goals, this new department will be charged with the implementation of City infrastructure capital projects. The Department of Project Implementation will largely originate from the Engineering and Construction Management sections of the Department of Transportation and Environmental Services (T&ES) and will be responsible for engineering, contracting, and overseeing the construction of City owned infrastructure, including streets, sidewalks, sewers, and more.
During Baker's 20-year career, she has overseen the design and construction of projects in both the public and private sectors. Since 2000, she has served as the City Engineer and T&ES Deputy Director, managing the Engineering Division. During her tenure, she has provided exceptional leadership, project management, and technical oversight for multi-million dollar, large capital infrastructure projects. She has managed the design and construction of mitigation projects, which were part of the $44 million Woodrow Wilson Bridge Settlement Agreement, and the $50 million Monroe Avenue Bridge replacement project.
Baker, a licensed Professional Engineer in Virginia and Maryland, has a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Degree from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), and a Master of Science Degree in Civil Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley.

University of Alabama star Courtney Upshaw is a hulking outside linebacker. He weighed in at 273 pounds at the Senior Bowl this week. That puts him in a rare category in terms of sheer power. Upshaw could be squarely in the sights of the Buffalo Bills when they pick 10th in the NFL Draft in April.
Upshaw measured 6-foot-1 1-2, not quite as tall as ideal, but there are many good pass rushers under 6-3. Cornelius Bennett was 6-2. Pittsburgh's James Harrison is 6-foot, 242. As many have pointed out, the NFL star most similar to Upshaw in body type is Pittsburgh outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley, who is 6-1 1-2, 265 pounds. Woodley, who has very long arms, has 48 sacks in five seasons for the Steelers. Upshaw's weight gives him the versatility to line up as a down lineman as well as an outside linebacker. He says he's aiming to drop 8 pounds. Here's a story on him at the Senior Bowl from today's Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser. http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/article/20120125/SPORTS0401/201250327/Senior-Bowl-Tide-s-Upshaw-rush-prove-himself-NFL

Think big, start small, but do something.
That's the advice Joe Czajka, a consultant with the research group Pattern for Progress, gave Wednesday to the folks who attended an informal brainstorming session about the revitalization of the Village of Brewster.
The Newburgh-based non-profit aims to promote growth and vitality in the area. The Village contract calls for the organization to study several components of Village life: "adaptive reuse" of Garden Street School, community development, neighborhood blight and transit-oriented development. Researchers will use Wednesday's conversations when producing future reports, said Czajka, who serves as vice president of research and policy.
More than 25 people—from business and property owners to elected officials to residents—were present for the discussion. It lasted about two hours, during which time Czajka and his colleague, consultant Barbara "Charlie" Murphy, asked the group to participate in a number of exercises.
"We want you to start dreaming out loud tonight," Murphy said near the start of the session.
Pattern's goal, she told Patch, is to come up with an action plan and a related implementation program for Village revitalization, which is an "incremental process." She and Czajka used nearby examples, including the revivals of places like Beacon and Cold Spring over the years, to remind attendees that change doesn't happen overnight.
The first task Czajka and Murphy put before the group was this:
Describe the Village of Brewster in a single word.
Creative, divided, historic, unfriendly and underestimated were just some of the responses.
What's the first word that comes to your mind when you think of Brewster? Share your thoughts in the comments section below, and don't forget to stay with Patch for more on this story. Updates will follow.

Take anti-inflammatories for short-term relief and choose glucosamine for long-term repair
Glucosamine sulfate is the ideal supplement for joints. For joint pain, many take aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen. While they're effective at suppressing symptoms, they do nothing for cartilage repair. They may even inhibit it.
Glucosamine gets to the root of the problem and can help support and repair joints. One study showed it took 4 weeks for glucosamine to surpass ibuprofen with respect to joint comfort, demonstrating it takes longer to work but ultimately produced better results.
Chondroitin sulfate works synergistically with glucosamine. Experts say it is best taken with glucosamine in a 5:4 ratio, glucosamine sulfate (1,500 mg): chondroitin sulfate (1,200 mg) for a 120-200 pound person.
Research on glucosamine and chondroitin shows it works
Researchers from the Arthritis Center, Boston University School of Medicine, reviewed 15 human studies on the use of glucosamine and chondroitin for joints. The results showed significant improvement in all patients with joint problems using either material. All of the studies showed them to be extremely safe with almost no side effects. The range of doses was 500 mg to 1,500 mg of glucosamine and 800 mg to 1,200 mg of chondroitin daily in the sulfate form. Reliable benefits were found to take 4 to 8 weeks to occur. The most popular daily dose is 1,500 mg glucosamine and 1,200 mg chondroitin.
X-ray evidence shows glucosamine sulfate works better than placebo
Another study of glucosamine sulfate from the British journal Lancetagain confirmed its benefits for joint health. Over 3 years, 212 patients were given a placebo or 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate daily. Instead of just measuring the patient's subjective reports of pain or stiffness, the researchers demonstrated measurable, objective evidence of glucosamine's joint benefits. X-rays of the knees in the glucosamine group were taken at various intervals during the study and showed significant benefits. X-rays from those taking a placebo showed continued degeneration of the knee joint. There were no side effects or complications noted in the glucosamine group.
Note: this study used the sulfate form of glucosamine used in Lindberg products. Lindberg uses a potassium stabilized form (2KCl) of glucosamine sulfate, not sodium, to reduce unwanted salt.
What is MSM?
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a source of sulfur, one of the most abundant minerals in the human body. Sulfur is essential in many body functions. It's critical to the production of healthy collagen -- the building block of nails, skin, hair, joints and other connective tissues.*
82% improvement in those taking MSMSeveral studies have measured the effects of MSM in athletes and patients with joint problems. Injured athletes taking MSM, in addition to their usual physical therapy, reported improved recovery (58%) versus a placebo group (33%). In addition, athletes using MSM had 40% fewer office visits during treatment. Then, a double-blind study showed patients with joint comfort issues who took 2,250 mg of MSM daily for 6 weeks reported an average 82% improvement, compared to 18% for those taking a placebo.
Don't pay more at the drugstore!
A big store doesn't always mean big savings! A recent survey showed a national brand of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate sold at a large drugstore chain was substantially more expensive than our comparable Lindberg product. Despite the drugstore product being 30% off retail, Lindberg was still about 35% less expensive. You would save about $8.00 in just one month by taking the Lindberg brand.
Survey based on Lindberg brand with 500 mg glucosamine sulfate (preferred form) and 400 mg chondroitin sulfate in capsule form. Comparison national drugstore brand product contained 500 mg glucosamine HCl and 400 mg chondroitin sulfate in tablet form and was priced at 30% off retail. Survey product available at Walgreens.com. Survey date Feb. 25, 2013.

Dolores "Dee" Roth of Lower Yoder Township considers her volunteer work at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center's Joint AdVentures program to be a godsend.
Undoubtedly, the multitude of patients who have undergone hip and knee replacements there think the same way about her.
Roth received her 3,000-hour service pin Saturday at the hospital's volunteer recognition dinner at Sunnehanna Country Club in Westmont.
The milestone places Roth into an elite club of selfless volunteers serving the health center.
Roth, 85, began volunteering in September 2004, which was the same time the hospital formed Joint AdVentures, a joint replacement surgical unit on the orthopedic floor.
Her late husband, Francis, died in 2003, and volunteering was a way to get involved with meaningful work and helping others.
Enjoyable experience
Roth said her volunteer work has been an enjoyable learning experience.
"I now help with some computer work and assist with organizing paperwork that benefits the patients," she said.
That includes compiling the material used in a detailed guidebook that outlines the joint replacement surgical process, beginning six weeks before surgery and continuing for up to a year after the procedure is performed. The easy-to-use homework kit, including videos, details recommended exercise routines and wound care.
On Wednesdays and Thursdays, Roth drives herself to the medical center to lend a helping hand.
The unit averages from 16 to 18 knee and hip replacements a week.
Prior to each surgery, patients have a chance each Wednesday to take part in a seminar to discuss the procedure with physical and occupational therapists and anesthesiologists.
"I find helping people to be a true blessing," said Roth, who has been a lifelong member of Zion Lutheran Church, 613 Locust St., downtown Johnstown.
"When people attend this seminar, it helps lessen a family's anxiety."
Volunteer advocate
Roth is an advocate for the orthopedic unit because she was a patient herself after undergoing a knee replacement six years ago.
"I did the exercises they suggested prior to surgery and I was back volunteering after five weeks," she said.
"I had the other replaced three months later and each surgery went well."
Roth also is a breast cancer survivor.
Her secret to enhancing her longevity is staying busy.
"You have to keep active," Roth said.
She takes part in the Silver Sneakers walking program Mondays and Wednesdays at the Greater Johns-town YMCA.
"I go for one hour a day, and if I don't attend, I can tell the difference," Roth said.
Her energy transcends age. Roth's work ethic shows that she is not ready to stop and she possesses a vitality that is an inspiration to others.
Sharon Kaseler, the physician assistant overseeing the Joint AdVentures program, is grateful to have a volunteer such as Roth whose life experiences often come in handy when dealing with patients, their families and employees.
'Genteel demeanor'
"Because she has had knee replacements herself, she is a great example of what it can mean to a person's well-being and Dee is a comfort to patients," Kaseler said.
"Her genteel demeanor and affinity for people make her an asset to the hospital."
Roth is always on the move, a subject that hasn't escaped Kaseler.
"I often tell her that she runs rings around everyone else," Kaseler said.
"She is an inspiration to all of us."
Prior to volunteering, Roth worked at F.W. Woolworths in the Westwood Plaza for 33 years, where she was a supervisor in the women's apparel and infant departments.
Her Thursdays are dedicated to helping serve a luncheon as the unit's patients gather.
She starts at 9 a.m. and works until the luncheon is complete.
"We serve either a tuna or a smoked turkey sandwich along with a fruit cup, chips or pretzels and a beverage," she said.
"It's a nice time for the patients to get to share their experiences because they share many of the same hurdles."
Roth is the mother of two children, daughter, Linda, and son, Richard.

Saturday marked the conclusion of Brooklyn Law School's 2013 28th Annual Jerome Prince Memorial Evidence Competition. The premier appellate advocacy evidence competition drew 36 teams from law schools nationwide, exemplifying the very best of legal education.
Teams from UC Hastings and Duquesne University placed first and second, respectively, after arguing before a distinguished final round panel composed of former U.S. Chief Appellate Judge for the D.C. Circuit Patricia M. Wald, U.S. Senior Appellate Judge for the Second Circuit Chester J. Straub, and U.S. Chief Judge for the Northern District of Ohio Solomon Oliver, Jr.
Also presiding were 167 federal and state jurists, magistrates, faculty, and alumni practitioners on numerous panels in the earlier rounds.
A team of Brooklyn Law School faculty guided the tournament, led by Professor Robert M. Pitler, faculty advisor to the Moot Court Honor Society. Among his accolades was a special award presented by Professors Ursula Bentele and Mollie Falk. A reception and dinner for all of the competitors, judges, and Moot Court students capped the event on Saturday evening.
"Our staff was responsible for a flawless tournament through their skill, attention to detail, and effort," said Dean Nick Allard in a school-wide email. "Thanks all around for an exceptional effort and for putting on a program that demonstrates the excellence and vitality of our law school."
Dean Allard also praised BLS students—particularly the Moot Court Honor Society Executive Board led by President Caroline McKenna '13 and Prince Competition Coordinator Alexandra Olsen '13—for creating one of the most challenging and successful tournaments yet.
"Notwithstanding the enormous help of our faculty, the Prince Competition is essentially student-run, which is in itself remarkable" he said. "Our congratulations go to all the BLS students whose hard work led to the success of the competition."
The competition is named in honor of the late Jerome Prince, renowned evidence scholar, teacher, and author of Prince on Evidence, who served as Dean of Brooklyn Law School from 1953 to 1971. Today, the Competition provides law students an opportunity to write an appellate brief that addresses evidentiary issues in a contemporary context.

So, maybe he isn't getting a movie deal, but the Devils signed Travis Zajac to an eight-year deal.
Rich Chere of nj.com reported that the deal includes a no-trade clause. Chere's article also stated, "He will be paid $3.5 million this season, $5 million next season and $6.5 million in each of the following four years. The final two seasons on the contract will pay him $5.75 million per year."
Zajac has played 423 games for the Devils scoring 91 goals and tallying 164 assists for a total 255 points. Those are impressive numbers that I can only imagine will continue to increase in coming seasons. He scored two goals and four assists in 15 games last season, which was cut short by an Achilles injury. Zajac was a tremendous force for the Devils through the playoffs last season and will be a key to keeping the team in competition for Lord Stanley's Cup. A force in the faceoff circle and a key playmaker, Zajac's contributions to the team are undeniable.
It is nice to know that the Devils will have center ice covered for the foreseeable future.
Let's Go Devils!

Wells Fargo Survey: Sluggish Growth for Firms in 2013
Echoing the findings of similar study issued a day earlier, a year-end survey from Wells Fargo Private Bank's Legal Specialty Group found that the legal industry experienced lackluster growth last year, with gross revenues at some of the nation's largest firms increasing by just 2.2 percent on average and net income up by only 1.6 percent.

BY CHERYL GROSS Special to the Record-Eagle
Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — A scone is a special thing. You can find them in bakery displays and in coffee shops. Buy one to treat yourself with a cup of coffee or tea. We may even think of scones in the same way we think of dainty finger sandwiches. But wait. Let us debunk that idea. A scone is a dressed-up biscuit, really.
Unlike a yeast dough, they are quick and easy to make.
Beginning with the base, you can decide whether to make it sweet or savory. You may decided to knead or not. Getting the hang of making a basic scone recipe is one of those beginner baking skills everyone should have. With practice and experimentation you can have fresh hot scones for breakfast, lunch or dinner and wow your guests.
Basic scone
2 c. Flour, all-purpose
1 T. Baking Powder
2 t. Sugar
¼ t. Salt
3 T. Butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
3/4 c. Buttermilk
1 Egg (can use two egg whites)
Measure dry ingredients precisely. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut butter into flour with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Incorporate buttermilk and egg with a whisk in a separate bowl. Insert scone additions at this time. Add liquids to flour mixture and fold together until just moist.
Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times adding flour as needed. Pat into about an eight-inch round on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Score the round by cutting half way through the depth into the final desired shapes. Eight triangles for larger servings or 12 "squares" for smaller servings.
Bake in a 400° oven for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.
That is it. The base of the basic, easy scone. No personality (or taste), however. Next, decide what kind of scone you wish it to become.
Savory scones can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Add a fruit at breakfast or a green salad for lunch or a soup and salad for dinner.
Ham and cheese scone
1/8 t. ground Cayenne pepper to the dry ingredients
3/4 c. Ham, finely chopped, and 3/4 c. good, sharp cheddar cheese, grated, to the flour-butter mixture before the liquids. Stir to separate the ham and cheese and coat with flour. Add liquids and finish.
Sausage and onion scone
3/4 c. cooked, loose sweet Italian, breakfast or soy sausages and 3/4 c. diced caramelized onion to the flour and butter mixture before the liquids. Stir to separate the sausage and onion and coat with flour. Add liquids and finish.
Cheese and onion scone:
3/4 c. shredded swiss cheese and 3/4 c. diced caramelized onion to flour-butter mixture before the liquids. Stir to separate the cheese and onion and coat with flour. Add liquids and finish.
Sweet scones are the treat we have with coffee or tea. They make a lovely side to an egg dish for breakfast. Add a scoop of vanilla ice ream and fresh berries for dessert. To make the basic scone recipe sweet, increase the sugar in the basic recipe to 1/3 c.
Michigan cherry scone:
3/4 c. dried Michigan tart cherries, (you may wish to chop the cherries to ensure one in every bite). and 1/2 C chopped Walnuts or sliced Almonds to to flour-butter mixture before the liquids. Stir to separate the cherries and nuts and coat with flour. Add liquids and finish. Sprinkle turbino sugar crystals on the top of the scone before baking.
Blueberry and currant scone
1/2 c. dried blueberries and 1/2 c. dried currants to flour and butter mixture before liquids. Stir to separate the fruits and coat with flour. Add liquids and finish. Sprinkle turbino sugar crystals on the top of the scone before baking.
Dropped scones
Skip kneading and drop dough onto baking sheet. Reduce baking time to 15-20 minutes, depending upon size of each scone.

Original recipe yields 30 aebleskivers
- In a clean glass or metal bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they can hold a stiff peak. Set aside.
- Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, sugar, egg yolks, melted butter and buttermilk at one time and beat until smooth. Gently fold in the egg whites last.
- Put about 1tablespoon of vegetable oil in the bottom of each aebleskiver pan cup and heat until hot. Pour in about 2 tablespoons of the batter into each cup. As soon as they get bubbly around the edge, turn them quickly (Danish cooks use a long knitting needle, but a fork will work). Continue cooking, turning the ball to keep it from burning.

Never use oil, only butter in the pan. The name in danish is Æbleskiver which means Appleslices (I know they're not slices, but that's the name). So if you want to make them like we do in Denmark, and always have done, you need to put a piece of apple in every one of them. When they're done cooking on one side put a small piece of skinless apple in to the middle, turn them around with a knitting needle to finish cooking them on the other side. You can also use applesauce instead. Time to eat them, dip them in your favorite jam (we use jam from nordic berries like strawberry, my favorite), then dip them in icing sugar, eat and enjoy. We're not only eating them at Christmas but at any occasion. More traditional Christmas cookies are ``Klejner (don't know what to call them in english)´´ and ``Pebernødder (peppernuts)´´. I'll post recipes later.
I am also Danish. My Grandma taught us to break open the "ball" while still warm or hot and dip in brown sugar. mmmmm She used a crochet hook to turn them over.
Very light. Delicious! I have owned a pan for many years but never used it until today. It was a very easy and delicious recipe. It is best to use a knitting needle (really!) or a pointed stick to turn them. A fork made too many holes and wasn't as easy to get them to turn right. My pan may have been smaller, used less oil and batter in cup. Preheat pan, and keep temp. constant.

WHITE BLUFF, Tenn. – A Dickson County teenager was rushed to the hospital after a collision with a train left him fighting for his life.
The crash happened on White Bluff Road near Highway 70 in White Bluff around 4 p.m. Wednesday. Police said the 18-year-old driver collided with the train as he tried to drive his truck across the tracks.
The CSX train pushed the truck nearly a quarter-mile down the track before it could come to a stop, severely damaging the vehicle. Highway 70 was closed in both directions, with the train stopped on the tracks.
Officers from the White Bluff Police Department, Dickson County Sheriff's Office and the Tennessee Highway Patrol responded to the scene.
There was only one person in the car, and he was the only one injured.
The teen was transported by LifeFlight medical helicopter to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville.
"From all indications he just misjudged the train," said Chief Michael Holman with the White Bluff Police Department. "We are still waiting to get more information back from CSX."
The driver was listed in critical condition. Police did not release the victim's name, but said he had just graduated from Creekwood High School in Charlotte, Tennessee and is well known in the community.
White Bluff police continued to investigate the cause of the crash.
Officials said there have only been two incidents of cars crashing into trains in the area in the last eight years.

Community is more than a word. It's our shared vision.
The Catholic and Marianist vision of education makes the University of Dayton community unique. It shapes the "warmth of welcome" we first experience and the "family spirit" we treasure. It calls us to academic rigor integrated with faith and life. It challenges each person and group to take up the hard work necessary to build the intellectual, spiritual, religious, moral, physical, and social dimensions of our educational community. A key part of success as a member of the UD community and an ILLC is an understanding of the three Catholic and Marianist principles for learning and living in community and the key habits which are derived from them. Individuals and groups are called to understand these principles and to develop these habits. Doing so will strengthen the educational community at UD and will prepare students to live as mature members of society.

Can I join any ILLC? No. As part of an ILLC, you'll take a specific class or classes with your floor mates. To ensure that the class(es) count toward the graduation requirements for your major and are an appropriate fit for you academically, your academic adviser has personally selected your ILLC options. So you may see zero ILLC options — or you may be able to pick between multiple ILLCs.
When do I pick my ILLC? As part of course registration, which will be available on Porches in May, you'll get to make your initial course schedule and ILLC selection. These selections will then be reviewed and approved by your academic adviser before they are final. You will see your list of options during course registration. To participate in an ILLC, you simply need to sign up for the class(es) associated with that ILLC.
What will be expected of me as a student in an integrated learning-living community? Be open to the experience and willing to fully enter into the community. Attend events and participate in activities with the understanding that you will learn something new in every situation.
Whom may I contact if I have questions about ILLCs? There are dedicated staff members who would be happy to answer any questions you have about ILLCs. Simply submit your question online and they'll be in touch soon.
We're here to help you.

WILMINGTON, North Carolina – UNCW's tandem of Rafael Aita and Sam Williams has been named the Men's Tennis Doubles Team-of-the-Week and sophomore Alyssa Ritchie has been selected Women's Tennis Singles Player-of-the-Week by the Colonial Athletic Association.
Aita (Lima, Peru) and Williams (Bristol, England) went 2-0 last week as the No. 57-ranked Seahawks raised their record to 13-4 with key victories at South Florida and Central Florida. The pair downed USF's Juan Carlos Gerard and Federico Sabogal, 8-5, in Tampa and followed with an 8-3 decision over UCF's Matthew Gladstone and Juan Bolona in Orlando.
Aita and Williams, ranked 42nd nationally, are undefeated at 10-0 in doubles this season, including 1-0 at No. 1 and 9-0 at the No. 2 slot.
Ritchie, the CAA's Rookie-of-the-Year in 2012, continues to build on last season, compiling a 12-3 singles mark this spring. The Franklin, Ohio, product has won eight consecutive singles matches and added three wins last week over opponents from Old Dominion, Delaware and UCF.
Ritchie trimmed ODU's Nika Khmolovska, 6-4, 6-3, last Thursday and breezed past UD's Olivia Heim, 6-2, 6-1, in straight sets on Friday. She capped off the 3-0 week with a 76- (4), 6-1 triumph over UCF's Courtney Griffith.

Recent White Stone Beach Reviews
We stayed in June 2014 for a wedding and the property was very well maintained and furnished. Best "beach" rental we have ever had. Highly recommend, very, very good value. Must warn about Pelicans restaurant at Windmill Point. Horrible service and over priced, mediocre food at best.
This house was all we wanted and more. It is perfect for adults and children alike. Not having to bring towels, linens, beach chairs and toys was a real plus. The property is secluded, however very close to beautiful, quaint town. The towns of White Stone, Irvington and Kilmarnock are very close and simply beautiful as well. KC's Crab and Cue near Kilmarnock is great for steamed shrimp and the River Market in White Stone has great crab salad. Also, do not miss going to The Local in Irvington for great coffee and breakfast sandwiches. I also loved the local produce stands scattered all over. The owner was very helpful from the time of inquiry into the property until our departure. She was always quick and efficient with her answers. I strongly recommend this property. It is the best experience I have had in a long time. We are already looking into booking for next year!!

|2006, 1st round, 27th pick by Panthers

Panthers place CB Gamble on I.R.
The Panthers placed CB Chris Gamble on injured reserve, head coach Ron Rivera announced Monday.
NFC South Spin cycle: Panthers are in disarray
The Saints beat the Bucs, and the Panthers are still a mess, as most of the NFC South came up short with the Falcons on bye.
Williams closed the season by setting a franchise record with a career-best 210 yards rushing and two touchdowns in Carolina's 44-38 win over the New Orleans Saints.||||||| Williams started the team's final five games with Stewart out with a high ankle sprain. Carolina won four of those.
With with Jonathan Stewart sustaining a high ankle sprain in Monday night's win over Philadelphia, coach Ron Rivera said Williams could be thrust back into the starting lineup against the Chiefs (1-10) on Sunday.||||||| The Panthers gave Williams a five-year, $43 million deal before the 2011 season, but the 29-year-old running back hasn't come close to producing the type of numbers that would warrant such a big contract. He ran for 836 yards and seven touchdowns in 2011, but this year has just 292 yards rushing and three TDs. He is a low-end No. 2 fantasy RB at best.
Although the Panthers are open to listening to all trade offers, coach Ron Rivera said they aren't actively shopping any of their players. That includes, he said, the franchise's all-time leading rusher, Williams.||||||| That doesn't mean it won't happen, of course. Williams, who signed a five-year, $41.5 million contract in 2011, was benched two weeks ago for Jonathan Stewart and has been a non-factor in the offense since.
Coach Ron Rivera said in an effort to shake things up the Panthers are moving away from their long-standing philosophy of rotating Williams and Jonathan Stewart. Rivera said the Panthers will instead look to "find one guy, develop a rhythm and if he gets hot, ride him" against Chicago Sunday.||||||| That philosophy essentially began last week against Dallas, although it was hard to notice as neither tailback got rolling in a 19-14 loss. Stewart replaced Williams as the starter and finished with 35 yards on 10 carries. Williams played five snaps and carried twice for 4 yards. Newton led the team in rushing with 64 yards. Rivera said Stewart will start again Sunday against a physical Bears defense
Williams had 12 carries for 44 yards along with a two-yard reception Sunday in a 31-17 loss at NFC South rival Atlanta.||||||| This is Cam Newton's show now in Carolina. That has diminished the value of Williams and fellow tailback Jonathan Stewart.

Britain's biggest book fair is facing criticism of its decision to extend a special invitation to China, a country that regularly censors and imprisons authors.
The three-day fair, which opens Monday, features readings from about 20 Chinese authors and is being attended by more than 180 Chinese publishers.
The invited authors were chosen by the British Council in collaboration with the Chinese agency that regulates printed media.
Critics say the selection excludes dissident voices such as Gao Xingjian - China's only Nobel literature laureate - or jailed political activist Liu, who won the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize.
Book fair organizers say the event is "an opportunity to deepen understanding and strengthen cultural and business links between the U.K. and China."

RIP Barbara Ann Scott
RIP Barbara Ann Scott
Cdn Nationals won't be the same...Sad news, she was a wonderful and charming role model/ambassador for skating and likely would have been very pleased to learn of Osmond's golden international performance debut before she passed; I had the good fortune to meet her in person, she will be greatly missed. RIP.
What a loss...what a legacy!
She loved and served the sport for a lifetime.
That love radiated and spread to everyone she touched,
RIP, to a great champion and greater lady.
Oh no! She will be missed! Rest In Peace.
Sad to read this. :-(
~I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.~ (Charles R. Swindoll)
Can't skate but love to watch
How sad to open up fsu and this is the first thing I see. She was truly a magnificent athlete, Canadian and human being. And she could rock a beaded gown too! RIP to a lovely lady.
A figure skating legend, R.I.P.
Here is a short but really nice clip of Ms. Barbara Ann Scott skating with Michael Kirby, part of the Hollywood Ice Revue "The Show with the Stars", circa 1953:
Yesterday was a horrible day 2 amazing Canadian women died Raylene Rankin, of the Rankin Family aso died at age 52 from cancer I'm sad about the lose of these two
The mind of the performer is a very strange thing.
~James Galway
In my spare time, I like to interview figure skating legends.
It's one of my favorite interviews, manleywoman.
Kurt Browning on Twitter:
Barbara Ann Scott King. She liked it when I called her Gramma and she gave such sweet hugs. Getting a Christmas card from her & Tom was ..
.. like getting a card from skating royalty. To say she was special just isn't enough. She glowed and shared her light with everyone. XO
I think she is was such a gracious and giving woman who never forgot her roots in Ottawa and always, always was giving back to the skating world and to our city. She had tried for a while to donate her skating memorabilia and Ottawa kept delaying it but it was done in August when she visited (likely due to her failing health).
I will miss her smiling face which always lit up a room.
I hadn't heard. What sad news for Canadian figure skating. She was gracious, beautiful...no words, everything good.
Judy - she was originally scheduled to be here in Ottawa in July for the opening of the gallery at City Hall. Her trip had to be delayed as she was recovering from a hospitalization. I'm so pleased that she was able to make the trip and to see her precious items in their rightful place. She showed great humour and her usual humility on that trip. I'm sure no one expected that we would lose her so soon.
Can't skate but love to watch
RIP Barbara Ann Scott...RIP
RIP lovely lady, you will be missed.
I will always have fond memories of seeing her at Worlds in Calgary, dressed in her beautiful suits, in a different color every day, always set off by her lovely platinum hair. Actually, the first time I spotted her was boarding the connecting flight in Toronto. As I walked through first class to get to my seat in coach, I saw her and realized, "Wow, that's Barbara Ann Scott!" I really felt that was the beginning of that Worlds for me. She was indeed, first class.
Oh no! Such sad news. She was a great champion and very much a lady.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, manleywoman, for getting that podcast before it was too late. We owe you a great debt of gratitude.
RIP Barbara Ann Scott. You are a legend and you will be missed.
