The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors is expected to approve a series of measures to prevent outbreaks of mosquito-borne West Nile Virus and other illnesses.
The measures are part of the 2013 Disease Carrying Insects program.
The county's annual fight against insect-borne disease involves monitoring mosquitoes and ticks, surveillance on any human cases in the county, and educating residents on effective prevention.
According to a Fairfax County Department of Health report, more than 5,300 cases of West Nile Virus were reported across the United States in 2012, 243 of the ending in death.
In Virginia last year, 29 residents were diagnosed with West Nile, three of whom died. Of the eight cases reported in Fairfax County last year, one resident died.
Under the program, mosquitoes and ticks would be captured and tested for West Nile Virus and Lyme disease. And because mosquitoes breed on standing water, officials would also treat stormwater catch basins, as well as other breeding areas.
These measures are financed through the Integrated Pest Management Program Fund, which collects money from countywide tax levy of .001 cents per $100 of assessed value (formerly Fund 116). In FY2013, the county budgeted about $1,993,00 for the effort.
Special outreach attention will be given to at-risk demographics, such as residents over 50 years old, who are likely to develop more severe strains of West Nile if contracted.

Minutes Of The Lebanon Public Library Board Of Trustees
August 23, 2006
A Budget Hearing was held at 4:00 p. m. David Truitt was checking about tax abatements.
Board President Jane Myers called the meeting to order. Members in attendance were David Koehler, Sharon Wood, Kandi Caldwell, and Marsha Truitt. Linda Jones and Jon Nixon were unable to attend. David Koehler read the mission statement. Others in attendance were Kay Martin, Director, Glenna Lenox, Office Manager, Dan Sulkoske, Kramer, Inc., and David Truitt, Board Attorney.
The library received another letter of "thank you" from the Biloxi, Mississippi Public Schools for books sent after Hurricane Katrina. Parton Kathleen Stilts sent a second letter questioning The Dead Man's In Indian Cree by Mary Downing Hahn. This is a Young Hoosier Book Award winner. Sharon Wood and Kandi Caldwell both read the book, and feel that it should stay in the Intermediate Fiction Section of the Children's Library. David Koehler made a motion and Marsha Truitt gave the second that the book The Indian In Dead Man's Creek should remain in the Children's Library in the Intermediate Fiction Section. Kandi will send a letter to Mrs. Stults informing her of the Board's decision.
The Secretary's Report was approved as amended. David Koehler made the motion and Kandi Caldwell gave the second.
The Treasurer's report was shared. Kandi Caldwell made the motion and Sharon Wood gave the second to pay the claims (4520-4754). This was two months of claims since the Board did not meet in July.
Dan Sulkoske gave the building update. We may have to deduct money from Terstep. Glenna Lenox and Dave Truitt will talk with Mr. Turley of U.S. Bank. OMS has to do a final punch list. Terstep is not finished yet, but they are close. They should be finished by mid September. Dan offered a Commissioning Proposal. This would cost $18,000 a year, approximately $1,500 a month. (See Proposal) David Koehler made the motion and Kandi Caldwell gave the second that we approve the Commission Proposal.
Under reports from Unserved Boone County Library Areas Committee, Sharon walker from the Friends Of the Library is now helping the committee. She signed up 36 Perry-Worth students for library cards. Many of the families she talked to did not know that they were being served by the library.
The Revised Confidentially Policy was shared. Marsha Truitt made the motion and David Koehler gave the second to approve the revised policy.
A Resolution to be part of the Indiana Public Internet Consortium was shared. David Koehler made the motion and Kandi Caldwell gave the second to approve the Resolution.
Jamey Hickson introduced new staff members to the Heritage Center. Paula Dodson and Kevin Pleasant are the new members.
A Resolution to request a 6 month extension for the Technology Plan (January 1, 2008 –June 30, 2009) was shared. David Koehler made the motion and Kandi Caldwell gave the second to approve this Resolution.
Kay reported that over 450 people were in before noon on the reopening day. The Staff received a letter from Jane Myers and the Board commending them on the move. Much of the move was done in extreme heat with little or no air conditioning.
Connie Bruder from the AV Department came to share the Lebanon Public Library Audiovisual Borrowing Policy. The reading was read. She also brought the Lebanon Public Library Disc Repair Policy. This has been changed from a donation to a user fee. The first reading was read.
Under Old Business Kay gave members copies of the DVD project that a SLIS class did for the library. It is a Resource Guide. The wireless connection for the Internet is now password protected, since there have been concerns about extra protection.
Jane Myers stated that she has interest in the Daily Sun. As an appointed Board member, she can not vote on anything concerning the Daily Sun.
David Truitt brought up the renewal of the contract with National City for use of their parking lot. The renewal is due soon.
The library was the issue of discussion at a Psi Iota Xi meeting, recently. Some members felt that they were not recognized for their part in the Summer Reading program. Kay shared a stack of information to refute these claims, showing the sorority was listed in all the advertisements.
David Koehler made the motion to adjourn Kandi Caldwell gave the second.
The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 13, 2006. A Budget Meeting will be held at 4:00 p. m., followed by a regular Board meeting.

Associated Press
— CULLMAN, Ala. (AP) — A north Alabama county is trying to bring in more tourism dollars.
The Cullman Area Chamber of Commerce has hired Cecelia Smith as its first fulltime tourism director with the goal of promoting the area to visitors.
The county has older attractions including a massive Roman Catholic monastery, Cullman's Oktoberfest and a religious site called the Ave Maria Grotto.
Officials also want to promote the new "Rock the South" music festival, which is expected to become an annual event, and a planned Bass Fishing Hall of Fame.
Tourism director Sammie Danford says the area wants to organize all its tourism initiatives under one roof.
Cullman is about 50 miles north of Birmingham.

Sophomore Charlotte Seaton's 41 helped lead Silver Creek to an 181-182 victory over Mid-Southern Conference rival Corydon Central at Hidden Creek Golf Course on Tuesday.
Lily Smith and Liv Schmidt both shot a 46 and Kaela Roberts added a 48 for the Dragons. Kennedy Nash shot a 38 for Corydon, which was playing without top player Taylor Frederick, for medalist honors.
"We know we were fortunate to win this match given that a key Corydon player is presently injured and out of the rotation," Creek coach Joe Ledbetter said. "However, we are pleased with our first effort of the year. We have some experience now in our sophomores and are pretty solid in the [No. ] 1 and 2 positions with Charlotte and Lily. We also realize that to win the conference we will have to go through Corydon, to be sure. So we have some work to do to make up some 12-15 shots before the tournaments roll around."
• Borden tops North Harrison, South Central: Borden shot a 240 at Chariot Run on Tuesday to defeat North Harrison by 19 strokes and South Central by 36 for a three-way meet victory.
Tina Fink led the Braves with a 47, followed by Sarah Potter's 60, Lexi Marsh's 66 and Mackenzie Smith's 67.

Top 10 Most Annoying TV Characters Of All Time
July 17th, 2013 1:00pm EDT
Yes, every show needs a heel, someone you love to hate, and those people can be important on a show. Indeed, a skilled actor can make a good living at that. But what about those who just annoy you to no end, the kind of character that makes your skin crawl every time they step into a shot or say one of their stupid catch phrases, and the ones who serve no purpose but to drive you absolutely nuts and annoy you in your nightmares long after their show has been cancelled? Those are the ones we would like to pay homage to today.
10. Joey from "Blossom": All that needs to be said is "Whoa!" If you remember him donning a curly mullet, wearing an array of gaudy vests, and uttering that gut-wrenching catch phrase, then you know why no list such as this is complete without Joey. It seems as if he modeled his character after a younger and even dumber Rocky Balboa because he seems to somehow be going for more of an Italian vibe than the rest of the family, and definitely stupid, but what he achieves is a shining bright light of annoyingness on a show when most everyone is annoying in their own right. Whoa, Joey! That's impressive.
9. Dr. Zachary Smith from "Lost in Space": Conniving, backstabbing, self-serving, and pretty much always selling out the whole crew by siding with any old Martian, Dr. Smith was downright awful. He was always getting busted going against the others, yet the crew never took him out back and shot him with a laser gun, or had the big robot attempt choke him to death with his disproportionate tiny arms. Instead, they kept him around to nearly get them killed week-ater-week, and what's worse, they trusted him with the little kid. Why were those two always hanging out, anyway? The answers to that are perhaps the subject of a different list all together . . . Jonathan Harris was only supposed to be on the show for a few episodes, and because he was the last one casted and not in the pilot episode, he was placed last in the credits. This upset Harris, and he insisted he be listed as the "Special Guest Star" in every episode, so even the actor was a pain in the butt!
8. Ross Geller from "Friends": David Schwimmer was stuck playing Ross, the whiney love-sick paleontologist, for ten seasons, but at over a million an episode can you really blame him? Schwimmer isn't a bad actor and can be pretty likeable in other roles, such as playing himself on "Curb Your Enthusiasm," but here he played third fiddle to Chandler and Joey who each got triple the laughs he did. Actually, all three of the women were funnier than him too, so that pretty much made him the 6th funniest Friend. Hell, the bald guy at the coffee shop usually got a few zingers in, while Ross just whined about things and pretty much sucked in most every way.
7. Andrea Zuckerman from "Beverly Hills 90210": She was nerdy, unattractive, and uninteresting, yet she held on hope that she could woo the more popular Brandon while working late nights on the school paper. The fact that she looked 42-years-old was not helping her chances either. In fact, the actress, Gabrielle Carteris, was 29-years-old while portraying a 16-year-old. Those scenes of her pining for Brandon Walsh are just downright creepy to watch when you think about it. Who ever cared about her character? After they had the stroke of genius of having David Silver's friend accidently blow his head off because his character wasn't going anywhere, it's surprising they didn't come up with a similar fate for Andrea; perhaps her hair getting caught in the printing press? An even easier way out would be to have the dean of West Beverly Hills High School discover that she was a 29-year-old trying to enroll in a high school to sleep with kids at the school newspaper. That episode would have been awesome.
6. Thurston Howell the III (The Millionaire) from "Gilligan's Island": Mr. Howell, you have been on this island for years now, eating coconuts every day and wiping with leaves like the rest of them, so when are you going to drop the whole prestigious millionaire bit? Your money is no good on the island, and come to think of it, you're no help either. The professor is trying to make radios out of bamboo shoots, and most everyone else is making attempts to get off the island, but meanwhile you and your equally worthless wife, who you so annoyingly refer to as "Lovie," are just settling in your crappy hut "mansion" like it's a damn country club. You suck, Thurston Howell the 3rd. It's hard to imagine being stranded on an island with that guy when the three-hour tour alone with him would have seemed like an eternity.
5. Joe and Curly Joe from "The Three Stooges" (a tie): This is the only slot of the list before the 1960's, and although it's not quite a television show, since they were originally aired as short films shown before movies, because of so many years on television, it qualifies as a television show. The years with Curly were obviously the golden age of the "Stooges," but the years have proven that Shemp was pretty damn funny and highly underrated. However, without Curly or Shemp, we were left with the likes of Joe and Curly Joe. Joe was bad enough because of his constant whining and his pacifist stance messing up the rhythm of the three of them beating the crap out of each other, but Curly Joe's attempt to look, act, talk, and even having the balls to have the same name as the immortal Curly, who many believe to be a comic genius, was downright offensive to their faithful fans. Any episode with either of these two schlubs is pretty much unwatchable.
4. Pete Campbell from "Mad Men": Loads of people watch AMC's "Mad Men," but you never hear someone say that they tune in for Pete. He is just about the only principal character not to win an Emmy, and there is a reason: he isn't a very good actor. Everyone else embodies their role so well that you forget they are acting, whereas you're always aware this guy is acting because he is just so phony and one dimensional and no one talks or acts the way this guy does. Also, the character defines everything it means to be a weasel, and he even looks a little weasel-like. Just look at him!
3. Snarf from "Thundercats": Cheatara was faster than hell and pretty damn hot for a cartoon, Lion-O could look into his sword to see all kinds of stuff and beat people up, and basically all of the Thundercats could kick major ass when the chips were down. Then there was Snarf, the scarredy cat who contributes nothing, and what's worse, says his own name "Snarf" in between just about every word. How annoying would that get when you have important stuff to do like trying to thwart the plans of the diabolical Mumra? As the only animated member of the list, edging out Orko from "He-Man," Snarf deserves due credit for sucking up an otherwise pretty cool cartoon. To be fair, it should be put the way only Snarf would say it: He, snarf, sucks, snarf.
2. Screech from "Saved By the Bell": Just why in the world did the popular kids at Bayside roll with the biggest nerd in the school, and not just a nerd, but perhaps the most obnoxious human being on planet earth? While it is true that Dustin Diamond was not given any funny lines to say because the best writers didn't seem to work for Saturday morning sitcoms, but Dustin had a way of making every word he said terrible. His voice cracked, he made stupid looking faces, and he was just plain hard to watch. Anyone who saw him on "The Biggest Loser" or his foray into the porn industry knows that he was a total jerk in real life, perhaps trying to act tough to get out of being type casted as the harmless nerd that he portrayed on TV all those years, but sadly, his character and his real personality both suck equally.
1. Harriet from "Small Wonder": No list of annoying characters is complete without including someone from perhaps the most annoying television show ever recorded. You have to hand it to Harriet to emerge on top on a virtual annoyance dream team of a show. A lot of neighbors were in consideration, such as Kimmy Gibler from "Full House," Urkle from "Family Matters," and Lenny and Squiggy from "Leverne and Shirley," but she out annoyed all of them too. Being obnoxious just seemed to come naturally to that kid; You just can't coach that type of innate talent. This is one of those times where you have to just tip your cap to that gingery pain in the ass kid from next door.
Honorable Mentions in No Particular Order:
- The dad on "Alf"- Larry Appleton from "Perfect Strangers." (Balki tried to be annoying but was kind of endearing, but this dude was annoying without even trying.)
- Urkle from "Family Matters" (A lot of people want him on the list, but he is a guy who got a few laughs on a show where NO ONE else got laughs, so it wasn't at all his fault that his show sucked).
- Janice Soprano from "The Sopranos"
- Whitley Gilbert from "A Different World"
- Delta Burke on "Designing Women"
- Joffrey from "Game of Throwns"
- E. from "Entourage"- 6 on 'Blossom"
- Buddy on "Charles in Charge"
- Mr. Belvedere (or Wesley from "Mr. Belvedere")
- Janice from "Friends"
- A.J. from "The Sopranos"
- Rog' or Dee from "What's Happening!"

I was in attendance at the State Capitol during the hearing on silica mining. I was impressed with the mining representatives from the Mankato area. They presented themselves well, indicating they have good relationships with their neighbors. Those relationships are envied by a lot of communities in Wisconsin and southeastern Minnesota.
I do disagree with a statement made by one of the mining representatives, who indicated there are ample regulations already in place to adequately regulate mining interests. Having been deeply involved with this issue for two years, I can assure you that it is not true. State and local regulations intended to protect the people are inadequate, unenforceable or nonexistent. Local units of government in southeastern Minnesota are scrambling to address these problems.
My group in Goodhue County, Save the Bluffs, along with other groups, are asking the state for a moratorium on new silica mining and to produce a generic environmental impact statement. The purpose of the GEIS is to produce legislation to protect the people and environment in communities where mining interests demonstrate being a good neighbor ranks a distant second to making money. The GEIS can also provide uniform governance where needed and ease the burden of enforcement of regulations on local units of government.
With the potential of tens of billions of dollars of profits for the mining companies at stake, it isn't incomprehensible that some mining interests will be tempted to forgo collegial relationships with neighbors and bully their way to what they want when they deem necessary.
We need the GEIS.

Question by balor123 6376 · Dec 09, 2011 at 03:06 PM · meat
I've read that consuming processed meats increases your risk for cancer. I bought some sausage from Whole Foods and I'm hoping someone can tell me what about it is problematic. Right now I'm looking at Atkins Ranch lamb sausage. The ingredients are: New Zealand Lamb, Sea Salt, Red Bell Pepper, Tomato, Carrot, Onion, Garlic, Green Onion, Natural Flavors (Orange, Lemon, Lime, Shallots & Yeast), Evaporated Cane Juice, Celery, Ascorbic Acid, Spices (Basil), Tartaric Acid, Citric Acid, Annatto & Canola Oil, lamb casing. Granted, it has sodium (470mg/link) and added sugar (though 0g/link of sugars)

Definition of natural flavor: "the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs... whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional"Source: ( http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/4676616/ns/today-food/t/food-qa-just-what-natural-flavoring/)

Answer by Dave S. 21710 · Dec 09, 2011 at 03:34 PM
First of all the evidence that processed meats are "associated" with increased cancer risk is epidemiological, and therefore not "hard" evidence. What are processed meats? Hot dogs, bologna, salami, sausage, bacon, pepperoni and Slim Jims. The average store brands have a lot of chemicals, including MSG. People who eat a lot of Slim Jims, probably drink a lot of beer and have other nasty habits. (I know, I was one of them...)
These sausages sound amazing to me. But it is probably prudent not to make any processed meats the base of your food pyramid, even if they are high quality. That said, I probably eat bacon or sausage 2-3 times per week...

Answer by Casey 1 7920 · Dec 09, 2011 at 03:28 PM
You have to read the label and judge the ingredients. Carl has identified a potential issue; the "natural flavors". Sure the could just be "(Orange, Lemon, Lime, Shallots & Yeast)", but who knows for sure.
Personally, I'd also be unhappy about the canola oil, but it's likely in a tiny amount and not worth getting too up in arms over, or at least more so than the natural flavors.

I buy that brand of lamb steaks from Trader Joes and I think they're fantastic. Haven't seen or tried their sausages though they sound good to me.

Answer by losttraveler 76 · Dec 09, 2011 at 09:37 PM
I try to stay away from anything processed, including meats. I do so primarily because of the high sodium content and also because I like to have control over what goes into my body. I bought a dehydrator and make my own fruit and veggie chips, as well as my own jerky. I highly recomment paleo/primal folks invest in a dehydrator. My kids love packing up mini trail mix baggies from the dehydrated fruit, nuts and jerky.
With regards to "natural flavoring", I recently found Bruce Bradley's blog and am recommending it to everyone I know. Mr. Bradley worked for over fifteen years as a food marketer at companies like General Mills, Pillsbury, and Nabisco. And he's sharing some pretty nasty insider secrets. So, what exactly do companies mean when they talk about "natural flavoring"? This blog post is quite eye opening.

Answer by Chris 22 850 · Dec 09, 2011 at 03:50 PM
There are 2 main issues here to consider that haven't as yet been mentioned:
(1) Is the lamb grass/ silage fed? grain fed? organic or not? How likely is it that it was jacked full of growth hormone to get it more quickly and profitably to the deli counter? All these questions massively effect the presence of toxins in the meat, and the fat profile.
(2) What exactly is "New Zealand Lamb"? Typically, sausages contain all the stuff that you couldn't sell as a seperate "cut" - I'm talking eyeballs, testicles, ears and brains (in the west, at least) - all of these arent necessarily bad things, as most offal is at least as nutritious as muscle meat. But what about when you get to things like hooves? and ground up bonemeal? Are these all part of a New Zealand Lamb? I would say yes. And the nutritional profile of these are drastically different from the meat.
Conclusion: Much worse? I couldn't say for sure, but something tells me a skin-tube filled mostly with ground up bones, hooves, and less-choice cuts; from grain-fed hormone-injected sheep is not the ideal choice of "paleo meats" :)
"Whole Foods" does give the impression of lambs galavanting in green pastures, but until I see a certification, I tend to assume the worst.

In its annual performance evaluation from the U.S. Department of Energy, the contractor received seven grades of A- and one B+ for its management of Oak Ridge National Laboratory during fiscal year 2008.
As a result, UT-Battelle earned $10,058,000 out of a maximum available fee of $10.7 million.
"In summary, UT-Battelle achieved a high level of performance with numerous accomplishments," DOE Manager Gerald Boyd said in a Feb. 3 letter to ORNL Director Thom Mason.
The ORNL contractor received A- in all three of the science and technology categories, and A- in four of the five operational categories that are rated annually.
Boyd praised the work done in high-performance computing, noting that Oak Ridge was responsible for some of the year's top scientific breakthroughs using supercomputers.
He also noted the "exceptional scientific leadership and innovation" in the startup of the new Bioenergy Sciences Center. The DOE official said top-level work continued at the Spallation Neutron Source and the High Flux Isotope Reactor, which "maintained a perfect record of on-time startups with 99 percent reliability."

Back in the 30's and 40's, a good-looking woman was called a Betty! And that's where they got the name for the second hand store "Betty Bling" on South Gammon Road.
When you check out "Betty Bling" you can see why the store has such a catchy name. This is where you will find designer names at amazing discounts.
Now for some, there may be a stigma about shopping at a second hand or consignment clothing store:
"Definitely, there has been and there probably is with some people, but with the economy the way it is, I think it is a very wise way to shop," says June Stenner, co-owner of Betty Bling.
Not only do they have designers suits and jackets, they also have shoes which include the likes of Prada and Ralph Lauren. They're sold for a third what they cost new.
"After they have been in the store for 60 they start going on sale from there and they go up to 75% off so you can really walk out of here with a lot of merchandise for just a little bit of money."
And some of the clothes & jewelry have never been worn, they still have their tags on them.
Christine Bellport: "I paid 40 dollars for a Bloomingdale's suit that had never been worn and these authentic Ralph Lauren shoes are new. I paid about 7 dollars for them."

Recent XBRL guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission is expected to help steer companies to provide more accurate information, but some worry it won't go far enough to fix the problems that prevent better use of open source financial statement data. "This latest guidance is kind of a weak attempt to get things moving in the right direction," says Dave Frankel, an independent consultant with SlingStone Group. More inside.
French banking giant BNP entered into a guilty plea last month and agreed to a record $8.9 billion settlement—the largest penalty ever obtained by the Justice Department in a criminal economic sanctions case. Worse still, the complaince department at the bank was accused of helping to cover up the wrongdoing. "The message to banks is that they need to take more seriously a culture of compliance," says Jeffrey Alberts, a partner with law firm Pryor Cashman.
This year looks to be a record-breaking one for mergers and acquisitions. The blockbuster deals raise several compliance issues, such as potential Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations and ethics culture mismatch, but compliance officers may not always be part of the pre-deal diligence from the start. Getting them involved can avoid the threat of "successor liability," post-merger bribery violations, and fostering the best cultural aspects of both sides. More inside.
Shareholders put a high priority on CEO succession planning, but they have stopped short of calling for more transparency on the plans. That could be changing. A high-profile CEO's illness and a campaign for more succession plan disclosures in the U.K. may bring greater attention to what companies reveal about the plans. "Investors want to know that boards have thoughtful long-term and emergency executive succession plans," says Allie Rutherford, director of the Corporate Governance Center at auditing firm EY.
Good news in environmental compliance: Looming new clouds of regulation have been dissipated by the U.S. Supreme Court. A ruling last month trimmed the Environmental Protection Agency's authority to enforce cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. The EPA cannot necessarily impose such regulations on all facilities, the court said—although it said the EPA can do so for power plants, oil refineries, factories, and the like.

text: By Bill O'Neil The pain at the gas pump you've been feeling in recent days continues to rise--and the experts say there's more to come. You can blame the continuing tension in Egypt--along with the increased demand of summer driving for the continuing climb in prices at the gas pump. New numbers from Gasbuddy.com put the San Antonio average at $3.48 per gallon of regular unleaded--an increase of about three-cents over the last week. "As long as that (crude oil prices) continues to creep upward, I think we're going to be locked in a phase where we see these incremental increases in the price at the pump" said Gasbuddy.com's Gregg Laskoski. He told 550 KTSA News that's very likely to soon translate in to a yearly high. "In mid-February, we were at $3.74 for the national average. That's just seven-cents away--and it's very possible that could happen sometime in the next two to three weeks" Laskoski said--adding one other huge potential factor continues to loom. "The one thing that we really have been fortunate with so far has been the weather" Laskoski said--pointing to a lack of any impact from the tropics--at least until now.

NEW YORK, May 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- PFNY, LLC, the largest franchisee of Planet Fitness, the New Hampshire based Franchisor who pioneered the high-value/low cost fitness experience, will donate all enrollment fees from any New York location to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation from May 7 – May 14.
"Supporting the community is at the core of what we do at PFNY," says James Innocenti, COO of the PFNY, franchise. "For the fifth year in a row we are incredibly fortunate to be able to extend that support even further by providing funds to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. We know many of our members have been touched by the disease and in fact, may have used that as motivation to join Planet Fitness in the first place. While we recognize all the great causes there are to support we feel strongly that the communities in which we operate are disproportionately affected by this disease and we want to give back for education and research to further advance a cure. Last year we donated $50,000 and are looking to surpass that amount in 2014." Collectively, last year all Planet Fitness franchisees along with the Franchisor donated over $425,000.
Beginning May 7 through the 14th, all enrollment fees processed at a PFNY location in New York will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The minimum amount required for a new member to donate will be $5.
PFNY began in 2004 with 3 locations and is now the largest franchisee in the Planet Fitness chain with over 45 locations in the New York metro area.

Statically elaborating a DAG that represents a depth-first recursive FFT is much like computing a depth-first recursive FFT: instead of performing computation at the leaves of the recursion and where smaller DFTs are combined into one, a node representing the computation is appended to the end of a list, and the list of nodes, i.e., a topological ordering of the DAG, is later translated into a program that can be compiled and executed.
Emitting code with a vector length of 1 (i.e., scalar code or vector code where only one complex element fits in a vector register) is relatively simple and is described in "Vector length 1". For vector lengths above 1, vectorizing the topological ordering of nodes poses some subtle challenges, and these details are described in "Other vector lengths". The fully hard-coded FFTs described in this section are generally only practical for smaller sizes of transforms, typically where , however these techniques are expanded in later sections to scale the performance to larger sizes.
Vector length 1
A VL of 1 implies that the computation is essentially scalar, and only one complex element can fit in a vector register. An example of such a scenario is when using interleaved double-precision floating-point arithmetic on an SSE2 machine: one 128-bit XMM register is used to store two 64-bit floats that represent the real and imaginary parts of a complex number.
When , the process of generating a program for a hard-coded FFT is as follows:
- Elaborate a topological ordering of nodes, where each node represents either a computation at the leaves of the transform, or a computation in the body of the transform (i.e., where smaller sub-transforms are combined into a larger transform);
- Write the program header to output, including a list of variables that correspond to registers used by the nodes;
- Traverse the list of nodes in order, and for each node, emit a statement that performs the computation represented by the given node. If a node is the last node to use a variable, a statement storing the variable to its corresponding location in memory is also emitted;
- Write the program footer to output.
Code 3 is a function, written in C++, that performs the first task in the process.
As mentioned earlier, elaborating a topological ordering of nodes with a depth-first recursive structure is much like
actually computing an FFT with a depth-first recursive program (cf. Listing 3 in Appendix 2).
Table 1 lists the nodes contained in the list `
ns' after elaborating a size-8
transform by invoking
elaborate(8, 0, 0, 0).
A transform is divided into sub-transforms with recursive calls at lines 4, 6 and 7, until the base cases of size 2 or size 4 are reached at the leaves of the elaboration. As well as the size-2 and size-4 base cases, which are handled at lines 20-21 and 17-18 (respectively), there is a special case where two size-2 base cases are handled in parallel at lines 9-10. This special case of handling two size-2 base cases as a larger size-4 node ensures that larger transforms are composed of nodes that are homogeneous in size – this is of little utility when emitting code, but it is exploited in "Other vector lengths" where the topological ordering of nodes is vectorized. The second row of Table 1 is just such a special case, since two size-2 leaf nodes are being computed, and thus the size is listed as 2(x2).
elaborate function modifies the class member variable `
ns' at lines 10, 14, 18 and 21, where it appends a new node to the back of the list. After the function returns, the
ns list represents a topological ordering of the computation with
CNodeLoad and
CNodeBfly nodes. The nodes of type
CNodeLoad represent leaf computations: these computations load elements from the input array and perform a small amount of leaf computation, leaving the result in a set of registers. The
CNodeBfly nodes represent computations in the body of the transform: these use a twiddle factor to perform a butterfly computation on a vector of registers, leaving the result in the same registers.
The constructor for a
CNodeLoad object computes input array addresses for the load operations using the input array offset (
ioffset), the input array
stride, the size of the node (the nodes instantiated at lines 9 and 17 are size-4, and the node instantiated at line 20 is size-2) and a final parameter that is non-zero if the node is a single node (the nodes instantiated at lines 17 and 20 are single nodes, while the node instantiated at line 9 is composed of two size-2 nodes).
As the newly instantiated
CNodeLoad objects are appended to the back of
ns at lines 10, 14 and 21, the
assign_leaf_registers function assigns registers to the outputs of each instance. Registers are identified with integers beginning at zero, and when each register is created it is assigned an identifier from an auto-incrementing counter (). This function also maintains a map of registers to node pointers, referred to as
rmap, where the node for a given register is the last node to reference that register.
The constructor for a
CNodeBfly object uses
k and
stride to compute a twiddle factor for the new instance of a butterfly computation node. When the new instance of
CNodeBfly is appended to the end of
ns at line 14, the
assign_body_registers function assigns registers to a node of size with the following logic:
where and is the auto-incrementing register counter.
assign_body_registers functions also updates the map of registers to node pointers by
setting to point to the new instance of
Emitting code
Given a list of nodes, it is a simple process to emit C code that can be compiled to actually compute the transform.
The example in Code 30 would be emitted from the list of four nodes in Table 1. Lines 1–4 are emitted from a function that generates a header, and line 13 is emitted from a function that generates a footer. Lines 6–11 are generated based on the list of nodes.
Code 30 contains references to several types, functions and macros that use upper-case identifiers – these are primitive functions or types that have been predefined as inline functions or macros. A benefit of using primitives in this way is that the details specific to numerical representation and the underlying machine have been abstracted away; thus, the same function can be compiled for a variety of types and machines by simply including a different header file with different primitives. Code 30, for example, could be compiled for double-precision arithmetic on an SSE2 machine by including
sse_double.h, or it could be compiled with much slower scalar arithmetic by including
scalar.h. The same code can even be used, without modification, to compute forward and backwards transforms, by using C preprocessor directives to conditionally alter the macros.
In order to accommodate mixed numerical representations, the signature of the outermost function references data with void pointers. In the case of the double-precision example in Code 30,
SFFT_D would be defined to be
double in the appropriate header file, and the void pointers are then cast to
SFFT_D pointers.
The size-8 transform in Table 1 uses 8 registers, and thus a declaration of 8 registers of type
SFFT_R has been emitted at line 4 in Code 30. In the case of double-precision arithmetic on a SSE2 machine,
SFFT_R is defined as
__m128d in
The first two rows of Table 1 correspond to lines 6 and 7 of Code 30, respectively. The
L_4 primitive is used to compute the size-4 leaf node in the first row of the table. The second row is a load/leaf node of size 2(x2), indicating two size-2 nodes in parallel, which is computed with the
L_2 primitive. The input addresses in the table are the addresses of complex words, while the addresses in the generated code refer to the real and imaginary parts of a complex word, and thus the addresses from Table 1 are multiplied by a factor of 2 to obtain the addresses in Code 30.
The final two
CNodeBfly nodes of Table 1 correspond to the
K_0 and
K_N sub-transform (a.k.a. butterfly) primitives at lines 8 and 10, respectively. Because the node in the third row of Table 1 has a twiddle factor of (i.e., unity), the computation requires no multiplication, and the
K_0 primitive is used for this special case. The
K_N primitive at line 10 does require a twiddle factor, which is passed to
K_N as two vector literals that represent the twiddle factor in unpacked form.1 Fast interleaved complex multiplication describes how interleaved complex multiplication is faster if one operand is pre-unpacked.
After each node is processed, the registers that have been used by it are checked in a map (
rmap) that maps each register to the last node to have used that register. If the current node is the last node to have used a register, the register is stored to memory. In the case of the transform in Code 30, four registers are stored with an instance of the
S_4 primitive at lines 9 and 11. In contrast to the load operations at the leaves, which are decimated-in-time and thus effectively pseudo-random memory accesses, the store operations are to linear regions of memory, the addresses of which can be determined from each register's integer identifier. The store address offset for data in register is simply .
Other vector lengths
If , the list of nodes that results from the
elaborate function in Code 3 is vectorized. Broadly speaking,
CNodeLoad objects that operate on adjacent
memory locations are collected together and computed in parallel. After each such computation, each position in a vector register contains an element that belongs to a different node. Transposes are then used to transform sets of vector registers such that each register contains elements from one node. Finally, the
CNodeBfly objects can be easily computed in parallel, as they were with VL-1 because the elements in each vector register correspond to one node.
Table 2 lists the nodes that represent a VL-1 size-16 transform. A VL of 2 implies that each vector register contains 2 complex words, and load operations on each of the 4 addresses in the first row of Table 2 will also load the complex words in the adjacent memory locations. Note that the complex words that would be incidentally loaded in the upper half of the VL-2 registers are the complex words that the third
CNodeLoad object at row 5 would have loaded. This is exploited to load and compute the first and third
CNodeLoad objects in parallel.
|{ , }
|{ , }
|{ , }
The second
CNodeLoad object computes two size-2 leaf transforms in parallel, while the last
CNodeLoad object computes a size-4 leaf transform. Because the size-4 transform is composed of two size-2 transforms, and memory addresses of the fourth
CNodeLoad are adjacent (although permuted), some of the computation can be computed in parallel.
If the
CNodeLoad objects at rows 1 and 5 are computed in parallel, the output will be four VL-2 registers: {{0,8}, {1,9}, {2,10}, {3,11}} – i.e., the first register contains what would have been register 0 in the lower half, and what would have been register 8 in the top half etc. Similarly, computing rows 2 and 6 in parallel would yield four VL-2 registers: {{4,14}, {5,15}, {6,12}, {7,13}} – note the permutation of the upper halves in this case. These registers are transposed to {{0,1}, {2,3}, {8,9}, {10,11}} and {{4,5}, {6,7}, {14,15}, {12,13}}, as in row 1 and 2 of Table 3.
With the transposed VL-2 registers, it is now possible to compute
CNodeBfly nodes in parallel. For example, rows 2 and 3 of Table 2 can be computed in parallel on four VL-2 registers represented by {{0,1}, {2,3}, {4,5}, {6,7}}, as in row 3 of Table 3.
Code 82 is a C++ implementation of the
vectorize_loads function. This
function modifies a topological ordering of nodes (the class member variable
ns) and uses two other functions:
find_parallel_loads, which searches forward from the current node to find another
CNodeLoad that shares adjacent memory addresses; and
merge_loads(a,b), which adds the addresses, registers and type of
b to
a. Type introspection is used at lines 7 and 36 (and in other Listings), to differentiate between the two types of object.
Code 81 is a C++ implementation of the
vectorize_ks function. For each
CNodeBfly node, the function searches forward for another
CNodeBfly that does not have a register dependence. Once found, the registers of the latter node are added to the former node, and the latter node erased. Finally, at line 19, the registers of the vectorized
CNodeBfly node are merged using a perfect shuffle, which is then recursively applied on each half of the list. The effect is a merge that works for any power of 2 vector length.
vectorize_loads and
vectorize_ks are invoked with on the topological ordering of nodes in Table 2, the result is the vectorized node list shown in Table 3. As in "Emitting code", emitting code is a fairly simple process, and Code 89 is the code emitted
from the node list in (Reference). There are only a few differences to note about the emitted code when .
- The register identifiers in line 4 of Code 89 consist of a list of two integers delimited with an underscore. The integers listed in each register's name are the VL-1 registers that were subsumed to create the larger register (cf. VL-1 code in Code 30);
- The leaf primitives (lines 6 and 7 in Code 89) have a list of underscore delimited
integers in the name, where each integer corresponds to the type of sub-transform to be computed on that position in the vector registers. For example, the
L_4_4primitive is named to indicate a size-4 leaf operation on the lower and upper halves of the vector registers, while the
L_2_4primitive performs two size-2 leaf operations on the lower half of the registers and a size-4 leaf operation on the upper halves;
- The body node primitives (
K_N) and store primitives (
S_4) are unchanged because they perform the same operation on each element of the vector registers. This is as a result of the register transposes that were previously performed on the outputs of the leaf primitives.
So far, hard-coded transforms of vector length 1 and 2 have been presented. On Intel machines, VL-1 can be used to compute double-precision transforms with SSE2, while VL-2 can be used to compute double-precision transforms with AVX and single-precision transforms with SSE. The method of vectorization presented in this chapter scales above VL-2, and has been successfully used to compute VL-4 single-precision transforms with AVX.
The leaf primitives were coded by hand in all cases; VL-1 required
L_2 and
L_4, while
VL-2 required
L_4_2 and
L_4_4. In the case of VL-4, not all permutations
of possible leaf primitive were required – only 11 out of 16 were needed for the transforms that were generated.
It is an easy exercise to code the leaf primitives for by hand, but for future machines that might feature vector lengths larger than 4, the leaf primitives could be automatically generated (in fact, "Other vector lengths" is concerned with automatic generation of leaf sub-transforms at another level of scale).
For a transform of size and leaf node size of ( in the examples in this chapter), the following constraint must be satisfied:
If this constraint is not satisfied, the size of either VL or must be reduced. In practice, VL and are small relative to the size of most transforms, and thus these corner cases typically only occur for very small sized transforms. Such an example is a size-2 transform when and , where in this case the transform is too small to be computed with SIMD operations and should be computed with scalar arithmetic instead.
Figure 1 shows the results of a benchmark for transforms of size 4 through to 1024 running on a Macbook Air 4,2. The speed of FFTW 3.3 running in estimate and patient modes is also shown for comparison.
FFTW running in patient mode evaluates a huge configuration space of parameters, while the hard-coded FFT required no calibration.
A variety of vector lengths are represented, and the hard-coded FFTs have good performance while . After this point, performance drops off and other techniques should be used. The following sections use the hard-coded FFT as a foundation for scaling to larger sizes of transforms.

China Internet population now exceeds 238 million according to a BBC article Surge in Chinese internet users. That's almost the same as the population of the United States. Last year growth was a staggering 41.9% and it looks like the growth is still not pausing for a break.
Wikipedia also has some interesting information,
While much has been publish about the control of content and the restriction of access to certain websites in China, less attention is put on the strain such a big internet population put on the infrastructure and the challenges and opportunities such a large population present.
Data from CNNIC, the China Internet Network Information Center, indicates that the international bandwidth is 640286.67Mbps (about 625Gbps). That's an average of about 2Kbps per user.

The Rudy Clarenburg Lecture Series was established in 1996 to honor Rudolf Clarenburg, Professor of Anatomy and Physiology. The Lecture Series brings nationally and internationally acclaimed scientists to Kansas State University to discuss their research interests with students and faculty throughouts the University.
1999 - Dr. Arthur "Buzz" Brown
Thursday, November 18, 1999
Seminar Title: "Ion Channels in Hereditary and Acquired Heart Disease"
Friday, November 19, 1999
Seminar Title: "Protein Modulators of Voltage-Dependent K+ Channels"
Dr. Brown received his PhD degree in 1964 from the University of London, London, England. He went on to work as a Research Fellow with the Cardiovascular Research Institute, University of California Medical Center in San Francisco, California. Dr. Brown is now the Vice President for Research at The Rammelkamp Center for Education and Research, MetroHealth Medical Center and Professor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio.
Dr. Brown is an internationally renowned authority on ion channel regulation in health and disease. His laboratory is remarkable for its ability to investigate problems in cardiovascular pharmacology from cell to bedside. Dr. Browns laboratory was one of the first to demonstrate direct G-protein modulation of ion channels, and suggest physiological significance for these rapid signaling pathways. Recently, his lab has been active in efforts to identify non-cardiac drugs that can induce life-threatening rhythm disturbances in human patients, and define the molecular bases of the cardiotoxicities.
Dr. Brown will deliver two public lectures at the College of Veterinary Medicine as part of the Clarenburg Lecture Series. The first entitled "Ion Channels in Hereditary and Acquired Heart Disease" will be given on Thursday, November 18th at 4PM and the second, entitled "Protein Modulators of Voltage-Dependent K+ Channels" will be given on Friday, November 19th at 4PM. Both lectures will be held at the College of Veterinary Medicines Practice Management Center, 4th Floor, Trotter Hall.

Yedioth Ahronoth (Hebrew: ידיעות אחרונות, Yedi'ot Aharonot (help·info), lit. Latest News) is a daily newspaper published in Tel Aviv, Israel. Since the 1930s, it has been the most widely circulated paper in Israel.[2][3] In a TGI survey of the media comparing the last half of 2009 with the same period in 2008, Yedioth Ahronoth retained the title of most widely read newspaper in Israel but saw its market share fall slightly from 35.9 to 33.9 percent.[4] In July 2010, a TGI survey reported that Israel HaYom had overtaken Yedioth Ahronoth as the most read newspaper in terms of exposure with a rate of 35.2% compared to Yedioth's 34.9%. After only a few months of publication of a weekend edition, it scored it 25.7% of exposure compared with Yedioth's 43.7% rate.[5]
Early history[edit]
Yedioth Ahronoth was established in the late 1930s by an investor named Nachum Kumarov. It was the first evening paper in the British Mandate of Palestine, and attempted to emulate the format of the London Evening Standard. Running into financial difficulties, Kumarov sold the paper to Yehuda Mozes, a wealthy land dealer who regarded the paper as an interesting hobby and a long-term financial investment. His sons, Reuben and Noah ran the paper with Noah as the first managing editor.[3]
In 1948, a large group of journalists and staff members led by Ezriel Carlebach, who was editor at the time, left to form Yedioth Maariv, later known as Maariv. Carlebach was replaced by Herzl Rosenblum. This began an on-going battle for circulation and prestige between the rival newspapers, which peaked during the 1990s when both papers were discovered to have bugged one another's phones.[6][7]
Today, the paper is headed by Noah Mozes's son, Arnon Mozes. For many years it was edited by Herzl Rosenblum's son, Moshe Vardi, who was replaced in 2005 by Rafi Ginat. It is published in tabloid format, and according to one author, its marketing strategy emphasizes "drama and human interest over sophisticated analysis."[8] It has been described as "undoubtedly the country's number-one paper."[3] The paper is open to a wide range of political views.[2]
It is owned by the Yedioth Ahronoth Group,[9] which also owns stocks in several Israeli companies, such as "Channel 2", a commercial television channel; "Hot", the Cable TV company; "Yedioth Tikshoret", a group of weekly local newspapers; Vesti, a Russian language newspaper; magazines, such as the weekly TV guide magazine Pnai Plus and weekly women's magazine La'Isha; and other non-media companies. Shilo De-Beer was promoted to editor in April 2007.[10]
Political leaning[edit]
A study conducted by Moran Rada with the Israeli Democracy Institute showed that Yedioth Ahronoth's coverage of the 2009 Israeli legislative election was biased in favor of Kadima and its leader Tzipi Livni in most editorial decisions and that the paper chooses to play down events that don't help to promote a positive image for her, while on the other hand, touting and inflating events that help promote Livni and her party.[11] Oren Frisco reached a similar conclusion after the 2009 Knesset elections, writing that throughout the campaign, Yediot Ahronoth was biased against Benjamin Netanyahu.[12]

After two consecutive blowout victories — the most recent of which came at the expense of the Seahawks in a 33-3 win — Oakland is 4-4 with a chance to pull even closer to first place in the AFC West with a game against the division-leading Chiefs (5-2) in Week Nine.
The Raiders had eight sacks on Sunday, they rushed for 239 yards and Jason Campbell threw for 310 yards. Even much-maligned WR Darrius Heyward-Bey got in on the act, making a 69-yard touchdown catch.
Oakland hasn't been at or above the .500 mark this late into a season since 2002.
While there probably hasn't been this much optimism about the team since that '02 season that ended with a Super Bowl appearance, the Raiders did get some bad news when it was learned that CB Nnamdi Asomugha, who has been named to three consecutive Pro Bowls, suffered a high ankle sprain on Sunday, according to a ProFootballTalk.com report.
The PFW Spin
The Raiders have won back-to-back games for the first time since the end of the '08 season and their next task is trying to win three in a row for the first time since '02. Doing so would give Oakland as many victories as it had in all of last season.
Maintaining a consistent level of play has been an issue for the team under head coach Tom Cable and it was for his predecessors throughout most of the previous decade as well. The offense has been particularly up-and-down this season, but it has thrived under Campbell in the past couple weeks.
Despite that, Cable said Sunday that Bruce Gradkowski, who hasn't played a full game since sustaining a shoulder injury in Week Four, is still his No. 1 quarterback. He may not say the same thing after the Kansas City game if Gradkowski can't play and Oakland wins again.
Gradkowski was clearly the better option at quarterback earlier in the season, but Campbell has shown improvement.
Campbell could very well give the job up with poor play, but Cable ought to give him that chance rather than pulling it away from him when things are going as well as they have in a long time.

Donut Bar
Prompted by this thread http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/879324 and not wanting this to get buried in the 77+ replies in that thread, I thought I'd start a new one dedicated to Donut Bar.
I know it's a bit late but finally got around to trying Donut Bar.
First thing, the parking is a bitch.
Second, the ladies are super nice. So that sort of makes up for the parking hassle.
The donuts. I'm not a breakfast donut person but I picked up a dozen (+2) and shared with the folks back at the office.
The damage from the pics below incl. creamicles, lemon pistachio, old fashioned, blueberry Meyer lemon, chai, and chocolate euphoria. Plus a cinnamon roll and a bear claw.
Overall, I think the flavors are interesting but the texture of some of the donuts is a bit off. The old fashioned, for example, was more airy and light than it should be. And while the blueberry Meyer lemon was zesty the donut itself (a cake) was too puffy.
In any event, they're doing cool stuff and SD needs more places like this. Just hopes its survives the parking issues and lack of consistent foot traffic.
Donut Bar: http://www.facebook.com/DonutBar
Can I assume the you purchased a doz +2 and went back to your office with a doz?
Donut Bar actually has a brilliant location and not needing much more foot traffic. It sits between five office buildings (all but one of which have over 20 stories). There are at least 3-5 other large office buildings within two blocks of Donut Bar. So that means there is probably somewhere between 6,000 to 15,000 people who are within two blocks of Donut Bar every single weekday.
These are people who grab a cup of coffee before work, grab a cup of coffee on a coffee break, and/or grab a cup of coffee as an afternoon pick-me-up. Throw in morning meetings where people get donuts, and you have a huge potential market. Oh, and these people are absolutely captive - driving in Downtown during the day is a royal pain in the butt. That's why there are no less than eight places serving coffee in the mornings within 1 block of Donut Bar.
Which is why there was a line out the door for a free tasting of Donut Bar's donuts about a week before it opened. Its why Donut Bar sells out every day (usually by around 2 p.m.).
re: jmtreg
re: jmtreg
They close at 2, and they generally (from what I'm told) stop frying/baking by about 8 or 8:30.
I think there's a saturation point with repeat players when it comes to donuts. The novelty is going to wear off eventually, and no one really enjoys paying $3-5 for a donut on a regular (or even semi-regular) basis.
As to coffee, there's no way they can compete on java alone when there's a Starbucks, Elixir, and Better Buzz, just to name a few, within a dead body away from them. (The $1 espresso look like a good deal, however).
I hope they can draw some of the tourists/visitor crowd from the nearby hotels.
Like I said, I'm pulling for them. But the tides are what they are. We'll see.
Donut Bar update--we went there today. We arrived at 10:00 am. The only donut left was the old-fashioned (with a partial chocolate frosting). At 10:12 they wrote "sold out" on the front window. Very friendly service by the way. Now, for the donut (singular) itself. Nothing special. Over-priced for a very average old-fashioned. Not bad mind you. Chocolate icing was not high quality. Cake part good enough but I can buy the same at Ralphs for less. They sure seem to have (in theory) some very interesting flavors which may well be much better than the old-fashioned. Parking problems and long lines mean I doubt I will be tasting those anytime soon. A disappointment to e sure. Emperor's new clothes.
When can we expect the arrival of The Cronut in SD?
re: globocity
It's there, but based on my statistically insignificant sample of one defective one, I wouldn't recommend waiting in line for too long for one.
The one I was given didn't have the "hole" punched through completely, and so the inner/middle of the doughnut (deeper than about 3/8") was raw. The first time I've ever had a raw doughnut, and I'm not a fan. The outer bit was something like a well-executed kart churro.
I also had a taste of a coconut creme one, and that was better, but it's not going to replace Rose's or Donut Touch at the top of my go-to list.
re: globocity
Having tried the cronut I can tell you that you aren't missing out on much.
If you must experience it I suppose the best way is simply to find your favorite croissant (Zanzibar?) and donut (Mary's?) and eat them together by taking alternate bites of the two.
You'll get 99% of the cronut experience. The 1%? The 3-4 hour wait in line (or the money it takes someone to wait in line for you).
re: ipsedixit
"find your favorite croissant (Zanzibar?) and donut (Mary's?) and eat them together by taking alternate bites of the two"
Don't you also have to take an occasional bite of your favorite baklava, as well? Or will the croissant suffice?
And doesn't the donut have to be cream-filled and have a glaze topping?
Or am I thinking of a Craynut instead of a Cronut?
So many complications...
re: globocity
Cronut™ is a registered trademark. Only in NY http://dominiqueansel.com/cronut-101/
There were posts on here about Azucar serving a Craynut on Mondays only.
Paris Baguette serves a 'Croissant Donut' (originally they called it a "Kronut" but apparently there were problems). The PB location inside Zion has either a line or you can pre-order (I think two at most) of 'Croissant Donuts" available at 1 p.m. daily. I bought one at the HMart location of PB in July before most people knew it was being sold there and got the last one from the tray.
It was good, but quite rich and filling. $3 and easily shared.
re: Cathy
re: Cathy
Speaking of which...
The Paris Baguette's "croisssant donut" (a nice generic name) is now available daily at noon at Zion. But I'm told by staff that you really need to be there by 11:50 to get one (or two, max).
I wish these places didn't play the "hard to get" game so much with new & trendy offerings. But they do. I suppose it adds to the mystique.

In less than a week, enrollment begins for insurance under the Affordable Care Act. A lot of people will have questions about the process. Who can help?
Jefferson Rose works for WithinReach, a community outreach program. Rose is what they call an "in-person assister," or IPA, to help people navigate the Washington Health Benefit Exchange.
"I would say most people… do not know what's happening," said Rose. "Even if they are eligible for free coverage."
Another group helping with enrollment is insurance agents and brokers.
Charles Craig of Sound Benefit Services in Lynnwood is one of the brokers who has gone through training and certification by the state to sell plans on the Exchange.
"With the scope and the knowledge we have about the plans," said Craig. "How they're designed, the networks, the ins and outs of the exchange - I think we're pretty uniquely positioned to advise a client."
There are some basic differences between IPAs and brokers to be aware of.
Most in-person assisters have a background in community outreach. They have been trained and certified to help navigate the exchange process. By law, they must be impartial and cannot recommend a particular plan. They receive no commissions and their service is free.
For the state certified brokers, their expertise is selling insurance. They have also been trained and certified to sell insurance on the Exchange. They can recommend what plan they think is better for you. They do receive commissions from insurance carriers, but their services are free for the customer.
Some advisors familiar with the process say clients who have questions about the details of particular plans may need a broker. But for those getting insurance for the first time, or qualify for a full subsidy, an assister may be more suitable.
Broker and IPAs can be found in most communities throughout the state.
The Washington State Health Benefit Exchange says it's important to make sure your broker or IPA is certified through the Exchange, in order to receive any federal subsidy.
The state has more information about the role of IPA's on the Washington Health Benefit Exchange, including the lead In-Person Assister organization in each county.
