---- — PLATTSBURGH — One person was injured in a one-car accident Wednesday.
Shortly before 8:39 a.m., Michelle L. Shanty, 37, of Gabriels was driving southwest on Route 3 in the Town of Plattsburgh and was approaching a left-hand curve in the road when the steering mechanism in her vehicle failed possibly due to a faulty tie rod, Plattsburgh-based State Police said.
Shanty was unable to control the vehicle and it exited the roadway via the north shoulder and struck a fence, police said.

The Republican Party has a major problem as I see it. Now, as a Democrat it doesn't bother me if the opposing party has a problem. Since I believe in the two party system, however, that problem must be fixed, or we'll end up with a one party system, which is not good.
The problem is that the Tea Party portion of the Republican Party has too much influence and power, and furthermore their views are not representative of the majority of the country. Let's be clear: in order to get the nomination for President of the United States for the Republican Party, one must show strong ultra conservative views and history. However, in order to win the Presidency, on must show that one is "middle of the road".
The problem is exacerbated due to the power the Tea Party has within the Republican party's ranks, and their erroneous view that the majority of the country sees things as do they. They're wrong! Most of the country is in the middle of the road and resents the influence the Tea party has exerted on the rest of the Republican Party. In fact they're saying that they must advertise more and get the word out to more voters so they can win next time.
I've got some news for them; if they do that, they will turn off the vast majority of voters who frankly resent the fact that the ultra religious right is controlling the Republican Party. That means they must vote for the Democratic Party or for an Independent Party candidate, and an Independent will not win the election.
Frankly I don't know how they're going to fix this, but for the moment I am going to luxuriate in the problems I see in the major opposition Party. After all, it's not up to me to fix their problem.

Mark Bittman's Cornstarch Ice Cream
I was intrigued by Mark Bittman's article in the NYT this past Wednesday about cornstarch based ice cream. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/01/din...
Has anyone tried it? Is the texture noticeably different? I was picturing something awful, but I suspect it must be somewhat reliable or he wouldn't have published the article and recipe.
Thanks all!
Haven't tried Bittman's recipe, but I did make this pistachio gelato recipe with cornstarch from Saveur, and the flavor and texture are great.
re: mnosyne
Thanks for the link to the pistachio gelato; I'm def. going to try it!
As for Bittman's recipe, it looks pretty good to me but I haven't tried it yet. I think the name "cornstarch ice cream" should be more like "vanilla ice cream w/ cornstarch." I've been wanting to play around w/ cornstarch in ice cream. The lemongrass ice cream in Andrea Nguyen's book, Into the Vietnamese Kitchen, calls for cornstarch.
re: Carb Lover
Have you tried using confectioner's sugar in mixing the ice cream base? Confectioners sugar works great for uncooked mix and it has a % of corn starch in it. I recently used some when I whipped up a batch of vanilla malt ice cream (philadelphia style). It was delcious and smooth and froze rather well for an eggless batch.
There's also a cornstarch chocolate gelato on epicurious. I prefer cornstarch over eggs because it has no fat/cholesterol and still gives a creamy result. Also, I just hate that eggy taste that you get when you use all 6 yolks in a regular ice cream recipe. When I do use eggs, I only use half of them (3) and 1.5 Tblspn cornstarch. I'll never go back to all eggs.
re: choctastic
re: farmersdaughter
I've made two batches already and had wonderful luck. This turns out to be a great use for the familiar Donvier home ice cream maker--you know, the one with the frozen canister, the one you see at every yard sale and thrift store. I was never crazy about that gadget because regular ice cream seemed to crystallize a bit too easily, and I didn't like the texture. The cornstarch recipe, however, stays very smooth, nearly gelato-like, and it's so easy you can't believe it. Definitely worth a try. For my first batch I snipped some lavender and gently infused the milk with it before beginning the actual recipe. For the second I used cinnamon, and today I may try raspberry jam. By the way, Bittman makes it on video at the NYT site.
re: Barry Foy
Here's the chocolate gelato recipe on epicurious, for your reading pleasure.
--oops i meant to put it under my other post. my bad
re: Barry Foy
ooh, this is great info, thanks! I just happen to have one of those dastardly machines in my basement that I picked up at a...garage sale!! and haven't gotten much use from. I have been looking at getting the attachment for my kitchen aid, but if this recipe works well with what I have I might hold off a bit longer.
re: choctastic
somewhat unrelated side note to the intention of this post here:
for what it is worth, I think the key in making custard based ice cream is technique. I've done 8-egg yolk custard bases for vanilla ice cream that didn't have even the slightest hint of an "eggy" flavor, at all. My preference is for between 3-6 eggs depending on what I'm making, but if done right, I don't think anything can replace the richness of eggs in ice cream.
Now, that said, I think cornstarch is a nice fall back for creaminess. About two years ago I started experimenting with guar gum in ice cream, which basically does the same thing as cornstarch, acting as a stabilizer to improve the creaminess of my ice cream (basicallly, it helps inhibit the formation of ice crystals as you churn, resulting in a creamier texture). The good thing with guar gum is you can get away with using a very small amount - 1/16 to 1/8 tsp - to good results. It definitely gave it a smoother texture. But since then, as I've continued to work to master the ice cream base and other variables and techniques, I can make ice cream now with the same texture without guar at all.
I tried making the base for the cornstarch ice cream yesterday and left it in the fridge to chill since i plan on freezing it in the ice cream maker tonight. This morning it looked a little jello-like. Is that normal? Most of the ice creams I've made have not involved custard, so I'm a little out of my element here.
re: caphill2320
The recipe does say to let it sit just until cool, so overnight may be too long. I haven't made it enough times to know exactly what "normal" is yet. God knows what it may be on the way to becoming right now--at best it'll still end up as good ice cream, at worst I suppose it could climb out of the fridge on its own, steal your wallet and car, and go on a nationwide crime spree. Regardless, seems like you've got nothing to lose by revving up the old Donvier and trying it out. When you do, please post the results, for future reference.
re: caphill2320
re: caphill2320
Hi everyone - I was looking to see if anyone had posted about this yet and found this thread. I just made the Bittman recipe, slightly modified, for mint chocolate chip ice cream and it was DIVINE! I used slightly less cornstarch than he recommended (2 tbsp for 2 3/4 cups of cream / milk), and, before adding it, steeped the cream/milk with a bunch of fresh mint for about an hour, and then added in fresh chopped mint while it was freezing and followed some other posts' suggestions of drizzling in melted chocolate with the ice cream machine running. It was SO delicious, I don't know if I'll ever go back to store bought for this particular flavor. I haven't tried it with lower fat milk, but the cornstarch base was so custardy, I think it could work (it definitely solved my prior problems with icy/rock hard ice cream).
I just received the new Kitchen Aid ice cream maker attachment and think I might break it in with this recipe. However, I just noticed that Bittman said this recipe makes a generous pint, rather than the traditional quart that most ice cream recipes I've seen will produce. Has anyone tried doubling the recipe? What were the results? Thanks!
I think it depends on what you want in an ice cream, personally I prefer it to the cream based ice creams (homemade versions). However, it really seems to be something you should eat fresh from the machine rather than stored, it gets a little icy. Alternately for those who aren't to particular, jello pudding both instant and cook and serve are primarily cornstarch. You can use any flavor, and the instant stops that cooked milk taste which I associate with warm foods not ice cream.
I used fat free milk and Splenda.Once I put the mixture in the freezer, it got rock hard. After thawing, the texture was grainy and almost chewy. The flavor wasn't bad, although, not as good as when it first came out of the ice cream maker.
Do the choice of these ingredients make a difference? Or does this recipe just not freeze well?
WOW. Just made this for the first time, using his variation with jam -- made black raspberry ice cream with chocolate chunks. So good its blowing my mind! And this was using 2 cups whole milk and just 1/2 cup of cream -- it was still so creamy and flavorful! Note that his jam variation calls for honey -- I stuck with sugar, and just added a generous 1/2 cup jam once the mixture had cooled.
I don't think mine was a Bittman recipe, but it was one for gelato made with cornstarch. I actually found it here, on another thread. Anyway, consistancy was fine, but mine had a floury taste. Perhaps not cooked long enough, but I did the trail through the back of the spoon thing.
Just made this. I followed the recipe, with the addition of about 1 cup of blackberry/peach/sugar puree (used the immersion blender and then put through a sieve). I mixed everything together, chilled it for about 3 hours, and popped it into my Cuisinart ice cream maker. At soft serve consistency, the ice cream was delicious. A bit of a chalky aftertaste - perhaps from the cornstarch? I froze the leftovers, but when I ate the ice cream later, it had formed ice crystals that were too dominant for my taste. Overall, supereasy, and yummy. Can't wait to try more variations - the coffee one looks good!
Yes, yes, yes! I love this recipe. It's the only ice cream "base" recipe I'll use. I make additions/modifications to this recipe. I've had the best luck with mostly (2 C) half-and-half, with 1/2 C whole milk, though I just did one with mostly whole milk, some half-and-half, and it was a success. I make sure I cook it to a very thin "pudding" consistency. At that point, I know I'm good...
I've only made them three times, but so far, I've loved the cornstarch-based ice creams. I recently had to go dairy-free and I've found that a great substitute (to a traditional cream-and-eggs base) is 2 cups full-fat coconut milk (the brand I use is 18% fat, but if you can find one higher than that, go with the highest possible) and 1 cup rice milk (4% fat), to 1/4 cup cornstarch (plus whatever sugar and other ingredients are called for in your recipe).
I don't know if the cornstarch taste might be noticeable in a subtly-flavored ice cream, but the flavors I've made (mint chocolate, banana strawberry, and peach) haven't had any problem masking the taste. The texture is quite creamy; I find it comparable to a store-bought ice cream. It's so much easier to do than working with eggs (and no risk of salmonella, or having to remember to buy pasteurized egg product).
So yeah, I'm a fan. And for any curious vegans or dairy-free people, yes, it works well with coconut milk bases. :)
i make cornflour ice cream all the time as i am allergic to eggs and its lovely:
put 2 cups milk into saucepan with 1 cup sugar 3 tablespoons vanilla essence and 2 vanilla pods and stir in 2 tablespoons corn flour heat up slowly stirring all the time till it boils take off the heat and it should be a thin porridge consistency......allow to cool to room temperature completely then whisk up 500 ml of whipping cream till thick and forms peaks...fold in slowly and thoroughly according to taste some like it sweeter than others ..when folded in spoon into tubs and put in freezer till frozen..if you want to add fruit or any other flavoring as the ice cream is setting carefully fold it in just before it sets completely.

Times West Virginian
The performance of Tiffany Nicholson and her Fairmont State University women's basketball teammates left a lot to be desired here Saturday afternoon in the first half against visiting Virginia-Wise at the Joe Retton Arena.
"Yeah, it wasn't good," said Nicholson, who was just 1-of-6 from the field shooting, including 0-of-3 from 3-point range in the opening half. "I played bad."
Nicholson, though, certainly wasn't the only Fairmont player who struggled in the first 20 minutes against the Cavaliers. In fact, most of the Lady Falcons did. FSU shot just 33.3 percent from the field (11-of-33) as a team, turned the ball over nine times and played shoddy defense at best.
As a result, Virginia-Wise led 31-23 at the break.
The second half for Nicholson and the Lady Falcons, however, was a different story. The senior guard found her shooting touch scoring 15 of her team-high 17 points in the final half and combined with sophomore center Hailey Garrett and senior point guard Kaitlin Snyder to lead FSU (5-2) to its fourth straight victory, 57-51, over the somewhat stunned Cavaliers, who saw their own four-game winning streak halted with the loss and fell to 5-8 on the year.
"I don't like losing," said Nicholson, who was 6-of-8 from the field shooting in the second half, including a 3-of-4 performance from long range. "I hit an early shot and it just kind of went from there. I was hitting all kinds of shots in warmups for the second half and it just kind of transferred over to the game. I certainly didn't do it in the first half."
Nicholson, Snyder and Garrett combined for 20 of Fairmont's first 22 points in the second half as the Lady Falcons opened the final 20 minutes on a 22-10 run to take control of the game for good. No less than 10 of those 22 points belonged to Nicholson.
"Tiff is awesome," said Garrett, who never came off of the floor in the win and posted her third straight double-double performance finishing with 15 points and a game-high 14 rebounds. "She always seems to make three-point shots when we need them and we needed some in the second half. She's a great defensive player too. She got in a little foul trouble there in the second half but that's because she plays so hard. She definitely sparked our team."
Fairmont, though, could not put the gritty Cavaliers away until the very end. What Nicholson started Garrett then finished by going 4-of-4 at the foul line in the game's final 14 seconds to seal the victory for the Lady Falcons.
FSU also went to a three-guard lineup for much of the second half which took Virginia-Wise out of its flow offensively. The Cavaliers, who shot 38.5 percent from the field in the opening half and drained six 3-pointers, shot just 30.4 percent in the final half (7-of-23) and made just 3-of-11 3-point attempts. Virginia-Wise also suffered 24 turnovers in the loss, including 15 in the second half.
"In the first half their No. 10 (Charlotte Reasor) was hitting a lot of threes for them so we knew we had to come out in the second half and play better defensively," said Snyder, who finished with 16 points, seven rebounds, seven steals and four assists. "Tiffany stepped up and hit a lot of shots for us in the second half and Hailey rebounded super for us.
"In the second half we made a little adjustment where we went with three guards and that, I think, helped change the momentum for us. It changed the game."
FSU head coach Steve McDonald agrees.
"We never give a game ball but I can't say that anymore because I gave one out today and it went to (assistant) coach Jenna (Eckleberry) for recommending we go to that three-guard lineup," said McDonald. "We have a (injury) situation at the four position and she made that recommendation and we did it. It was a difficult lineup for us to coach, but it was a great lineup to play against this particular team. We had to make some on-the-fly adjustments with that lineup, but that lineup got us the lead.
"What I really liked about this game is once we got the lead we never gave it back and that's huge. That's important for us. This was a good win for us against a streaking team that came in here on a four-game winning streak and playing very, very well."
Virginia-Wise, which is one of the schools who will be joining the new Mountain East Conference along with Fairmont State next year, was led by Reasor's 18 points, 12 of which came in the first half. The Cavaliers also got 14 points and nine rebounds from forward Chelsea Cluesman, who was held seven points below her season average of 21.5 by FSU's defense.
The Lady Falcons will be idle now until Saturday, Dec. 15 when they return to West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference action in a 4 p.m. road game against the University of Charleston at the Eddie King Gymnasium.

---- — ROCHESTER — With a pair of splendid offensive efforts from junior Maggie Schrantz and Rosi Cummings, the Plattsburgh State volleyball team was able to depart Nazareth College with victories over Nazareth and Ithaca on the final day of the Purple & Gold Invitational.
Thanks to the two triumphs, Plattsburgh State saw its record improve to 8-11. Cummings also earned a spot on the all-tournament after amassing 50 kills in three matches.
"We won two more matches on Saturday and it was a huge step for us," Plattsburgh coach Dena O'Connell said. "The girls fought back in every set and I was very proud of them."
Any visions the Cardinals possessed of a short three-set victory were quickly driven from their minds by Nazareth (15-5).
Controlling the first set from the opening serve, Plattsburgh State began the frame on a 5-2 run and never looked back. During the opening frame, Schrantz was the go-to offensive player for the Cardinals as she racked up four kills and a block assist in the 25-16 victory.
Plattsburgh State put its offensive efficiency on display by hitting .261 as a squad while limiting the Golden Flyers to an attack percentage of .027.
It was more of the same in set two as the Cardinals were able to open up a 14-6 lead over their non-conference opponent. Leading 7-6, Plattsburgh State went on a 7-0 run that featured back-to-back service aces from sophomore Jeanette Braun.
After Rosi Cummings picked up another Plattsburgh State service ace to make the score 21-14, the Golden Flyers began to run their offense in a much more efficient manner. In a preview of things to come, Nazareth reeled off four straight points to pull within two points, 24-22, before a termination from Laura Diehl gave the Cardinals a 2-0 lead.
Nazareth began the third frame on an 8-2 surge that featured four kills and a trio of service aces. During the set, the Cardinals were down by as many as eight points on two separate occasions. In the late stages of the set, Cummings floored two kills as part of a 3-0 spurt that brought Plattsburgh State within three, 20-17, but the home team closed out the set on a 5-1 run to force a fourth set.
Looking to finish off the Golden Flyers in four, the Cardinals opened up a 16-12 lead in the frame before Nazareth began their comeback. The home team ended the set on a 13-3 run to knot the match at two sets each. Plattsburgh State saw its hitting percentage dip to .049 in the fourth set.
Schrantz took control for the Cardinals in the winner-take-all fifth set. The junior smashed down a pair of kills and added a block assist during a 5-0 run by Plattsburgh State to open the frame.
Thanks to her play, Nazareth never held a lead in the set and Diehl was able to finish off the victory with her 11th kill of the match to account for the final 15-13 score.
Schrantz led all players with 18 kills during the match and completed her double-double bid with 11 digs. Cummings proved to be the second double-double performer for Plattsburgh State as she wound up with 17 kills and 16 digs.
Diehl hit a match-high .409 with 11 kills and her 4.5 blocks helped Plattsburgh State to a 10-4 blocking advantage over the Golden Flyers. Amanda Wickers had a team-high 26 digs and Kristen Marchisotto led the way in assists with 29.
Nazareth accumulated 12 service aces and benefited from 15 kills each by Chelsea Beecher and Olivia Harrigan.
In their second match of the day, the Cardinals didn't allow Ithaca (8-15) to do much on offense as the Bombers were held to an attack percentage of .096 during the three-set sweep.
Leading 9-8 in the first set, the Cardinals embarked on a 9-1 scoring surge which featured a pair of service aces and a kill from Cummings. Errors by Ithaca accounted for five Plattsburgh State points during the run.
Plattsburgh State allowed the Bombers to pull within four points, 22-18, before closing out the first set with a 3-0 run that featured kills from Cummings and Marchisotto.
Meghan Clifford led off the second set with a service ace for the Cardinals, but it was Ithaca who controlled the early stages of the frame before Plattsburgh State regained its offensive footing.
Trailing 8-7, the Cardinals used a 6-2 run to regain the lead for good. Syline Kim helped the Bombers get to within 15-14 after hammering down a kill, but a 10-2 Plattsburgh State run gave the Cardinals the set and a 2-0 lead.
Plattsburgh State leaped over its final hurdle late in the third set. Trailing 16-14, the Cardinals used an 11-1 run to take the third set as well as the match.
Cummings victimized the Bombers all match long, as she floored a match-high 18 terminations. Diehl was the only other player in the match to reach double-digits in kills as the sophomore racked up 11. As a team, the Cardinals hit .290 in the sweep.
Schrantz chipped in three of Plattsburgh State's seven service aces and Wickers added a match-high 18 digs to the winning cause. Marchisotto and Clifford passed out 19 and 11 assists respectively.
Before engaging in SUNYAC play again, the Cardinals will make their final 2013 appearance in Memorial Hall. Plattsburgh State returns home to take on North Country rival St. Lawrence on Tuesday night at 7 p.m.

text: We can talk about the clever writing on ABC's monster hit Modern Family until the show wins its billionth Emmy, but we all know the reason men everywhere (especially in the 18-34 demographic) watch the popular sitcom is to get that weekly dose of Sofia Vergara, owner of the best cleavage on television (sorry, Christina Hendricks). We'll be the first to admit that as the Colombian bombshell-turned-matriarch of a white, upper-middle-class, suburban family, Vergara's overacting can be a bit grating, but with a rack like that, the former model and television hostess could be the sonic facsimile of glass on a chalkboard, and we'd still love her. This year, she was also nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series. And with boyfriend Nick Loeb considering a run for the Senate, Vergara's giving men a whole new reason to be engaged in politics. Read more about Sofia Vergara

4 Things Every CEO Needs to Know About Cloud Computing
According to TechCrunch co-founder Keith Teare (TechCrunch is one of the most visited tech sites on the web), the entire technological landscape will be redrawn over the next 5 years, with current software darlings (including Facebook and Google+) becoming obsolete. Teare sees a future that will move away from personal desktop computers and toward mobile solutions; desktops and laptops will only be used for work. So, if CEOs want their companies to flourish in the future, they will need to focus directly on the cloud and mobility.

A 19-year-old Whitefish Bay man who overdosed on heroin and his friend who fled the scene with heroin and paraphernalia are both facing charges in connection with the incident.
Patrick Kottke, 19, of Whitefish Bay and Aaron Schultz, 20, of West Allis have each been charged with one count of possessing narcotic drugs. Kottke has been charged with possessing oxycodone, and Schultz has been charged with posssessing heroin. If convicted, each man faces a maximum sentence of $10,000 in fines and 3 1/2 years in prison.
Whitefish Bay police responded to the 800 block of Glen Avenue at 5:44 p.m. Friday to assist Kottke, who had overdosed on heroin, according to a criminal complaint filed in Milwaukee County Courthouse. Kottke had been doing heroin at his parents' house with Schultz, who fled the scene after calling 911.
Schultz told police that he and Kottke did a hit of heroin at a dealer's house, then drove to pick up new needles and pick up another friend, the complaint said. Once they arrived at Kottke's house on Glen Avenue, Kottke did more heroin and the three men smoked marijuana.
Kottke later told police that Schultz prepared the heroin and "shot" him up with heroin because he could not locate his own veins. Kottke stated that he had picked out a large chunk of the heroin asking Schultz for a "little more" as he did not want to "wake up" after taking the hit. After taking a hit, Kottke laid back in his bed and his eyes began to roll back. Schultz started calling friends to see if anyone had Narcan – an opiate antidote – but was not able to find anyone, according to the complaint.
After calling 911, Schultz ran southbround through yards on Glen Avenue and Lake Forest Avenue. A firefighter ran after him and caught him in the 800 block of Lake Forest Avenue. After a struggle, firefighters and police officers were able to place him in custody.
When searching Schultz, officers found a brown paper bag containing eight hypodermic needles, 16 alcohol wipes, a blue rubber tourniquet, a cell phone, a digital scale and a used hypodermic needle containing a small amount of brown liquid, the complaint said. In his pocket, officers found a small amount of heroin folded up in a piece of paper.
Kottke, meanwhile, was unconscious on his bed, but became alert after North Shore Fire Department paramedics administered Narcan. Kottke was transported to St. Mary's Hospital in Milwaukee for treatment.
NSFD also found a 500 mg Oxycodone pill next to Kottke on the bed. Kottke told police the pill did not belong to him, although he admitted to illegally obtaining the drug in the past.
After a fatal overdose in Ozaukee County earlier this month, Ozaukee County Sheriff's Lt. Rodney Galbraith and supervisor of the drug task force said that drug use in southeastern Wisconsin is at an all time high.
"I don't think there's any question in my mind from the amount of information that I review during my course of duties of supervising our (drug task force) that the use of heroin and the potential for heroin overdose deaths is the worst I've ever seen it," he said.
Kottke will appear in court at 8:30 a.m. Jan. 17 for a preliminary hearing; Schultz is scheduled to appear at 8:30 a.m. Jan. 14 for his preliminary hearing.

Ellen Tracy by Ellen Tracy Eau De Parfum- 3.4 oz. For Women
Brand Name: Ellen Tracy
Item Type: EDP
Made in: USA
Size: 3.4 oz.
Year Introduced: 2001

Fragrance Notes: oriental flowers and spices with lower woodsy notes.
Few perfumes brand themselves as love potions or the extract of the female being for the modern woman, but Ellen Tracy, to its acclaim, is one of them. There's just a particular something about a fragrance like this one, which brings together a luscious peach and sugar-drenched plums top note, moving into powdery florals and aldehydes in the heart, with a faint hush of woodiness at the base. It exudes a most endearing, lady-like, pretty aroma which we would not mind smelling on our colleague at the office, the next pew at church or a gathering of friends.
Comes in box, cellophane wrapped.

Founded by Herbert Gallen in 1949, Ellen Tracy was originally a manufacturer of blouses. In 1962, Gallen hired recent college graduate Linda Allard as a design assistant. Two years later, Allard was named Director of Design, and a new Ellen Tracy began to evolve.
Tracing the rise of the career woman, in 1975, as the firm's junior customers were entering the workforce, Ellen Tracy made a milestone move into contemporary departments.
In 1984, Linda Allard's name was added to the Ellen Tracy label and during her 40-year relationship with the company, Ellen Tracy became synonymous with exclusive, high-quality fabrics, unique color stories, and the concept of the total wardrobe for the working woman. It is distributed worldwide in premium department and specialty stores.
The evolution of the brand continued when in 2010, Macy's became the exclusive sportswear retailer for Ellen Tracy and the brand launched internationally, most recently in Karstadt Germany.
In addition to its highly successful apparel collections, Ellen Tracy expanded to include collections for footwear, outerwear, legwear, hosiery, belts, eyewear, fragrance, handbags, jewelry and home.
Ellen Tracy designs refined product for modern women with discerning taste. The brand is known for a sophisticated color palette offered in a variety of novelty fabrics and beautiful signature prints.

Following his doctor's instructions, engaging simpleton Charlie Gordon tells his own story in semi-literate "progris riports." He dimly wants to better himself, but with an IQ of 68 can't even beat the laboratory mouse Algernon at maze-solving. Then, an operation turns him into a genius and introduces him to heartache.
Charlie Gordon is about to embark upon an unprecedented journey. Born with an unusually low IQ, he has been chosen as the perfect subject for an experimental surgery that researchers hope will increase his intelligence-a procedure that has already been highly successful when tested on a lab mouse named Algernon.
As the treatment takes effect, Charlie's intelligence expands until it surpasses that of the doctors who engineered his metamorphosis. The experiment appears to be a scientific breakthrough of paramount importance, until Algernon suddenly deteriorates. Will the same happen to Charlie?

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has filed the paperwork for an appeal of this week's federal ruling that labeled Texas' ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. Abbott said ultimately the Supreme Court will have to decide the issue.
Following Federal Judge Orlando Garcia's ruling that Texas' same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional, a group of gay rights activists took to the steps of the Bexar County Courthouse to celebrate the invalidation of the law.
The cold and the rainy weather did not discourage at least thirty supporters of the decision. The ruling does not immediately allow for same-sex marriages to take place, but Trisha Stuart, a participant in the rally, said it's a step forward.
Longtime Contemporary Art Curator David Rubin has resigned at the San Antonio Museum of Art. Rubin, who was raised in California and went to Harvard, moved to San Antonio from New Orleans in the wake of Katrina.
"We adore David here at the Museum," said SAMA's Kelso Director Katie Luber.
As to why he left the museum:
"I think David decided to pursue some other options in his career," Luber said.
Luber didn't want to go into much detail about the departure, but lauded him highly when talking about Rubin's work at the museum.
Texas Public Radio was tickled to learn recently that the first ever Rusty Hubcap Award has been bestowed upon the organization by the Car Talk Vehicle Donation Program. Donald Braun, a Floresville native and current resident of San Antonio, donated his 1948 Buick Roadmaster to the program, identifying TPR as the recipient of the gift.
There is far more to the Aztec Theatre's story than just its future -- its past and architectural pedigree are nothing short of fascinating. I spoke to San Antonio Conservation Society's Sue Ann Pemberton, who said its architectural theme is called Mayan Revival.
"It was constructed in 1926 as one of the thematic theaters of San Antonio" Pemberton explained. "The Aztec, the Mixtec, the Zapotec, the Toltec and the Mayan cultures were all revealed here in this theater."
The city's governance committee will soon be considering a ban on single-use plastic bags -- bags you would use at the grocery store, take-out bags and bags at several retailers.
According to District 7 Councilman Cris Medina, the city spends $1.3 million cleaning up discarded bags. The threat to the environment from the bags, which you currently cannot recycle anywhere but at retail-based bins, was the main concern of city leaders and one community advisory board.
The combined vacancy rate downtown is 29 percent according to Centro San Antonio, a nonprofit dedicated to helping revitalize the urban center.
Around the city center large historic buildings stand empty. Large urban tracts of land around the city hold broken down buildings, like the abandoned Lone Star Brewery on the Mission Reach -- large empty lots are all that remain of bulldozed houses dotting San Antonio's East Side.
A federal judge in San Antonio has ruled that the Texas ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional and should not be enforced, saying that there was no rational basis for the law.
Federal District Judge Orlando Garcia's opinion says for that reason, the Texas law barring same-sex marriages fails to meet the standard under the U.S. Constitution's equal protection clause.
Former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan once said, "When women thrive, all of society benefits."
Members of the San Antonio Potters Guild have been hard at work for months, creating thousands of bowls to benefit SAMMinistries this weekend.
For months now, pottery students Linda Perez and Deb Ferris and a dedicated group of fellow potters have been crafting bowls of different shapes and sizes to benefit San Antonio Metropolitan Ministries.
"This is a 12-hour process," said Perez. "You change the ratio of air and gas so that reduction occurs two times during the firing."

A complaint filed Monday by two local advocacy groups alleges Fairfax County Public Schools is perpetuating discrimination against black, Latino and disabled students through the admission process for Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST).
The Coalition of the Silence (COTS), a group former school board member Tina Hone founded to seek equity for all students within FCPS, and the Fairfax branch of the NAACP filed the discrimination complaint with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, asserting FCPS has committed "clear violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964."
At press time, FCPS had not yet had time to review the complaint, spokesman John Torre said.
While black and Hispanic students make up about 10 percent and 22 percent of the FCPS student body, respectively, they make up 1.5 percent and 2.7 percent of the TJHSST student body, the complaint says.
The complaint, written by Hone and NAACP-Fairfax County's Education Chair Charisse Espy Glassman, comes two business days after a Fairfax County School Board . At the work session, the board discussed both the lack of diversity and the declining math scores at the the Governor's School for science and technology in recent years. The board has charged FCPS staff to begin researching how to improve in both areas.
But the work session did not satisfy those who argue the process is discriminatory long before a student chooses to apply to the prestigious school, which recently earned No. 2 on U.S. News and World Report's annual ranking of U.S. high schools.
Sixty-four percent of students admitted to TJHSST attend middle schools with Level 4 Advanced Academic Middle School Centers. Most of the centers have limited diversity, carrying minority populations that don't reflect the county's demographic makeup, the complaint says.
"In essence, Fairfax County operates a separate and unequal 'sub' school system within its overarching taxpayer-funded, public school system," the complaint reads. "That separate and unequal subsystem is comprised of a network of level 4 advanced academic centers where Black and Latino students are grossly underrepresented."
More than half of students admitted to TJHSST's class of 2016 : Carson, Longfellow, Rocky Run and Kilmer. Black and Latino student populations at all four schools are far smaller than the percentage of black (10.4 percent) and Latino (20.6) students across the county's school system.
"In a room that was packed to capacity primarily by TJ parents and staff, the conversation almost immediately veered away from concerns regarding the underrepresentation of African American and Latino students at TJ and towards discussion about how to ensure the 'right' FCPS students would get into TJ," the complaint reads, referring to the July 19 work session on the admissions process.
At the session, board members and TJHSST officials said an increasing number of admitted students are struggling with their math courses — a sign that the application process is selecting students not ready for the rigorous TJHSST courses.
In the complaint, Hone and Glassman argue that adjusting the admissions criteria to weigh test scores more heavily will only lead to similar disproportionate numbers at TJHSST.
"Test scores — without additional context and balance — are not a reliable predictor of future success," the complaint reads. "On information and belief, FCPS has never been able to produce longitudinal data supporting the myth that test scores have predictive value."
The Office of Civil Rights can choose to open an investigation after it reads the complaint, but is not obligated to follow up on the document, Hone said in a Monday phone interview with Patch. An investigation would reveal data that to date has largely been unavailable, Hone said, along with a much deeper look at the admissions process and issues associated with it.
"We felt it was our responsibility to sort of lay out with as much clarity as we could what we think the actual problem is ... a lot of the conversation has been around the edges but there's something much bigger going on that we have to deal with," Hone said. "We'll see what happens. I'm hopeful."

Program Details
Advanced certificate program in autism spectrum disorders
HEGIS code 0808
NYS SED program code 31638
With the prevalence of autism increasing in recent years from 1 in 1000 to 1 in 88*, learning to work with children with autism spectrum disorders has become important to professionals in many fields, including:
Speech-language pathology
Occupational Therapy
Physical Therapy
Skills in working with children on the spectrum are critical not only to people already in these fields, but also to those seeking to enter these fields.
The Brooklyn College advanced certificate program in Autism Spectrum Disorders is unique in that it is the only program in New York that has a cross-paradigm perspective where students learn about the strengths and weaknesses of the many different approaches that are available for children on the spectrum and learn with those from different fields and disciplines. Students can also learn about the latest in augmentative communication at the campus's assistive technology center.
The 15-credit ASD certificate is the only program in the New York area that is available for students with either bachelor's or master's degrees. It can be completed in one year (fall, spring, and summer), and can be applied towards continuing education credits and salary increments in the Department of Education. Classes are scheduled in the late afternoon and early evening for the convenience of working professionals, who can also conduct their practicum at their own work site, where appropriate.
The coursework and practicum opportunities will reflect a range of approaches available for children on the autistic spectrum, including applied behavioral analysis, both discrete trials and natural learning paradigms, and developmental social-pragmatic approaches. Students will participate in lecture, discussion, observation, and practice, incorporating a range of philosophical, educational, and clinical paradigms. Students from varying disciplines, including education, speech-language pathology, school psychology, and occupational and physical therapy will have the opportunity to train and work collaboratively with future colleagues.

Castle Medical Center is pleased to announce
that its Surgical Weight Loss Institute and
Steven Fowler, M.D., have been designated a
Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence (BSCOE)
by the American Society for Metabolic
and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS).
Please note: Castle Medical Center holds free public information sessions on weight loss surgery each month. Please click on the link to see the schedule.
Please click on "Ending Obesity," to read an article in the November 5 issue of the Honolulu Advertiser about the experience of celebrity DJ Kutmaster Spaz with bariatric surgery at Castle Medical Center.
Pictured above is Dr. Steven Fowler, medical director
of the Surgical Weight Loss Institute at Castle.
Obesity is a complex, chronic disease that affects nearly one out of every three American adults, or about 60 million people, according to the American Obesity Association, an education and advocacy group. Nine million Americans are severely (morbidly) obese.
Factor in weight-related illnesses like diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, liver disease, and arthritis, and obesity becomes an even more alarming national health issue, accounting for some 300,000 preventable deaths each year.
Locally, statistics from the Hawai'i Department of Health indicate that in Windward O'ahu alone, more than 10,000 adults are obese or morbidly obese—a disproportionately large number compared with other parts of the state. And this number is growing by about two percent, or 200 people, annually.
Bariatric (or weight-loss) surgery has proven to be the best solution for morbidly obese patients aiming for sustained weight loss. Even a ten-percent reduction in body weight, if maintained, can reduce many obesity-related health risks.
Though Castle Medical Center has a long-standing, individualized weight management program, the new Surgical Weight Loss Institute was established to help patients who are morbidly obese manage the health risks of obesity through a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach.
"Our focus is to help patients regain their health through surgical weight loss," explains Joanne Reid, administrative director. "Physiological, psychological, genetic, and social factors all contribute to the disease, so Castle has assembled a team of obesity and weight-loss experts who can address all of these areas."
The team includes bariatric surgeons, a psychologist, a physical therapist, a registered dietitian, a fitness specialist, and a nurse coordinator, all of whom are involved in assessing each patient's health issues and developing an individual weight management plan.
If an obese patient is struggling with life-threatening health risks and unable to lose weight through dieting, medication, behavior therapy, exercise, and other medical treatments, bariatric surgery may be recommended.
Bariatric surgery, which modifies the stomach or intestines to restrict the amount of food one eats or the amount of calories and nutrients the body absorbs, has been around since the 1950s. It is only in the last ten years, though, that the number of surgeries has grown significantly, due in large part to the development of safer, less invasive procedures. Nonetheless, the procedures are not without risk, and Castle's bariatric team carefully evaluates the risks and benefits for each patient, as well as the individual's readiness to make the lifestyle changes that are part of the program.
Generally, the program evaluates candidates for weight-loss surgery if they are between the ages of 18 and 65.
Steven Fowler, M.D., is a bariatric surgeon and medical director of Castle's Surgical Weight Loss Institute. Board-certified in surgery with a focus in laparoscopic surgery, Dr. Fowler is a graduate of Boston University School of Medicine and completed his residency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
"We offer three types of bariatric procedures at Castle, all of which are performed laparoscopically through small incisions using a camera and instruments," Dr. Fowler says. These minimally invasive procedures are less painful, result in quicker recovery and fewer complications, and don't leave large incision scars.
Please click to read more about the three surgical weight loss procedures offered at Castle Medical Center: the gastric bypass, the lap band, and the gastric sleeve.
Dr. Fowler emphasizes that none of the three bariatric procedures is a guarantee of weight loss.
"Patients can still 'cheat' by continuing to eat," he says. "To keep the weight off, patients must be willing to make lifestyle changes. That's why any bariatric surgery program worth its salt is a comprehensive program with physical therapy, psychological, and nutritional components."
Regardless of which procedure is used, patients can see a dramatic improvement in obesity-related health risks within the first month, including a reduction in medicines for hypertension and diabetes and less sleep apnea. Within a year, 80 to 90 percent of these associated diseases are significantly reduced, if not gone completely, Dr. Fowler says.
Weight-loss surgery brings radical changes to an individual—both physically and psychologically—and it's important that patients are equipped with the tools they need to sustain their weight loss and live successfully in their communities.
Following surgery, patients in the program receive twelve months of follow-up care that includes group and individual counseling sessions, nutrition counseling and cooking demonstrations, fitness classes designed specifically for program patients, and peer support groups that help address emotional, behavioral, and other issues. Patients can always get additional support beyond the twelve months.
"It's very exciting. No one else in Hawai'i has a program quite like ours," Reid says. "With Castle's established Wellness Center, we are uniquely equipped to offer a comprehensive treatment package."

I had stayed away from seasonal Pumpkin beers thinking they would be sweet and sort of like drinking pumpkin pie with added alcohol. A heavy and sweet beer... Last week I was at Wegmans (I am NOT an employee) and there were so many different labels and brews! I did not want to get a six-pack of each type but they have this deal where you can make your own six pack from many different breweries. I bought 6 different pumpkin brews (see picture and note all have fun labels and are also empty):
The beers:
Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale (Easton, PA)
Sarnac Pumpkin Ale (Adirondaks, NY)
Dogfish Head Punkin Ale (Milton, Delaware)
Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale (Golden, CO)
Uinta Punk'N Ale (Salt Lake City, UT)
America's Original Pumpkin Ale (Hayward, CA)
The beers are listed in the order in which I enjoyed consuming them. Each has the ale base and the difference is the amount of flavors used such as cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, pumpkin flavors, allspice, brown sugar.
I was pleasantly surprised how the different flavors blended together. Each beer was tasty and the flavors finished differently on the palate and as the beer changed temperature, different notes of flavor appeared. Weyerbacher seemed the most consistent in terms of taste from start to finish and America's seemed to have the least amount of distinct flavors. Not a bad one in the batch according to my taste.
I am not a beer expert and I expect my review would met by much under reporting and failing to use the proper words to discribe the body, taste, character, etc of each beer by those in the know. But for about two bucks a bottle, it was a reasonable and fun way to enjoy seasonal beers without having to buy an entire case or six pack (Pennsylvania's antiquated malt beverage laws are outrageous at best, but that's for another blog/rant).
So, although we haven't quite officially made it to autumn, the breweries have and these six were worth the time spent ejoying them.

My Email Digests
You can try gas meds. And you should try some probiotics to see if that makes a difference (Digestive Advantage-IBS; Culturelle or FloraQ), but I'm going to make another suggestion - some visceral manipulation. And here's why - I just finished working with a fellow who had a similar symptom, although the doc hadn't labeled it 'splenic flexure.'
There are several ligaments on that side of the body: the gastrosplenic, gastrolienic, gastrocolic, gastrophrenic and phrenicocolic. They hook the various organ 'together' and form barriers (in some cases) to the movement of infection from one place in the abdominal cavity to another.' So you've got links between the diaphragm, the stomach, the spleen, the upper corner of the transverse and descending colon, etc. When some kind of dysfunction occurs - in this gentleman's case a large inflammatory pattern across the whole of the abdominal region including both sides of the transverse colon and his levels of IgA were off the charts - it can affect the connective tissue in those areas. He said he had 'pain everywhere.'
During one portion of our working together he commented, "damn, you're reproducing the gas pain I have.' I wasn't tinkering with anything to do with 'gas,' I was working with the organs and ligaments around his stomach. And a 'light bulb' went off in my head.........something along the lines of 'heck, why didn't I think of that before! That's GOT to be what some people are having problems with - the darned splenic flexure.'
Look, I can't swear it's going to help, but it's worth a try as you're trying other things to try to reduce the discomfort.
It only reinforced what I had found in my own case. I had had a small auto accident in/around the time my IBS kicked into full force and I was ready to die. One of the symptoms I had was severe 'hepatic flexure' pain - again attributed to gas. I don't tend to think that anymore. Instead I think it was tied into that accident and the seatbelt. Several years into the IBS, and after the accident, I had an osteopath work on me and he homed in on that area. Using some gentle, specific manual manipulation over the course of several months, he 'freed up' that area, and my hepatic flexure syndrome went bye-bye. That, and a number of other instances peaked my interest in a little known from of therapy.
It's something you may want to check into. Not a pill, and not fast, but it may help.
I was diagnosed with splenic flexure syndrome in 1998. At the time, I was also suffering from GERD, but medical treatment and a convivial divorce released me from a lot of stress.
The SFS, though, has gotten worse, increasingly, over the years. I saw my GI doctor yesterday and he said, "Take Beano ... and cross your fingers that we'll find a cure in a year."
I am on medical leave now because the pain is so crippling that I can't work at my desk. I am now seeing a psychologist and a therapist -- the latter suggested that I find an online support group.
Is this a support group? If not, I won't waste your time any further. I really do need help. Pain is ruining my life.
Best wishes to all of you!
I'm Fiona, but call me FiverFan. Thanks in advance for anything you can suggest! (That includes changing my vegetarian diet. PLEASE, I am in agony and I need help.)
I have had problems associated with pains in my abdomen that radiate into my chest. They make me nauseas and give me a headache. I have coronary artery disease so the doctor did keep focusing on my heart. All good. Upper GI. All good. Lower GI all good. They are now focusing on my intestines. From the research I have done I am not looking at Splenal Flexure Syndrome or some other cause of IBS. What helps me and which we came across because of my heart condition was nitroglycerin. I have pills and patches. The patches work well but are not 100% but the pills work within 3 minutes of the attacks.
Write me if you wish to hear a long story.
Good luck Jeff
i kind of think its weird that he said there nothing he could do.
I believe there are some papers published on visceral manipulation now. Check PubMed for abstracts and references to papers. You can check out practitioners of Visceral Manipulation at the Barral Institute website. You may want to contact the institute to get a referral to someone who may be able to help you.
Can you be more specific as to what manipulations you are suggesting? Is this an up and down motion? Deep pressure? Where? For how long? etc. Thanks.
Sorry that I can't be more specific, but each individual is not the same. And the mainpulations should only be done by an experienced therapist.

Discover the Unseen
Invisible Children is going to the frontline of the war in central Africa to protect the people affected by Joseph Kony's violence. Since 1986, 25,000 children have been abducted by Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). Now it's up to us to go to the frontline of our communities, telling this story and raising the money needed for Invisible Children's life-saving projects.
I'm working with my fundraising team to raise money and awareness to help support Invisible Children's Protection Plan -- projects that directly protect innocent people from brutal LRA violence. More information on these projects is right here: www.invisiblechildren.com/protectionplan.
Help me share this story by donating and asking others to donate. Sharing it on Facebook and Twitter is an easy way to do that, and those share buttons are right on top of this page.
Whether you can spare $1 or $100, these children's lives can be forever changed with your help.

I was looking at another private airplane/rescue organization. They require a copy of my liability insurance policy.
In the past, I've been the victim of identity theft and insurance fraud. I do not give out personal information unless it's absolutely necessary. Nobody gets my SS number, unless they are required to report to the IRS.
My wife's handbag was stolen. The thief made a fake ID stating he was me, at my address, and proceeded to write checks on my (closed) account. Clearing it up cost me a few thousand dollars.
A few years ago, someone cut in front of me and locked up his brakes. I didn't stop in time, and hit him. The only damage was a broken tail-light, yet this guy sured me for $25,000. I believe this amount is the required amount in Massachusetts.
I am well aware of what someone can do with just a little bit of information.
The last thing I want to do is provide information about my insurance limits to someone I don't know. I have no reason to believe that anyone in that organization is dishonest. Unfortunately, it would be way too easy for someone to check my insurance limits, pick me as a mark, set up a rescue, and file a lawsuit.
I am sure the guy who sued me would find a way to hurt his back helping me load a dog into my plane.
Any thoughts?
