Dating back as far as 4,000 years, beans are one of humanity's oldest foods. Enjoyed in just about every culture, beans can be combined with vegetables, meat, rice, or grains into soups, salads, pastas, dips, and more. What's not to love about the humble bean?
A Nutritional Powerhouse
Members of the legume family, beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein and one of the best sources of soluble fiber, which has been shown to lower cholesterol and help reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes. They contain B vitamins, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and zinc. In fact, the combination of these nutrients—as well as the fiber in beans—may help decrease the risk of heart disease and various cancers.
Beans contain a dietary fiber known as resistant starch. This fiber, which is more abundant in legumes than in many other foods, resists being digested until reaching the large intestine. Once there, its fermentation activates the growth of beneficial bacteria. Because of this process, resistant starch can be considered a prebiotic. Improved bowel function, higher satiety, greater absorption of micronutrients, and balanced blood glucose and insulin responses are some of the benefits.
Soy Good
Versatile and popular, the soybean offers the most protein of any legume. It's hard to imagine a natural products store without some manner of soy—Tofu, edamame, soy nuts or soymilk, flour, and tempeh are just a few of the many foods that originate with the soybean. A good source of calcium, soybeans also contain phytochemicals which may help prevent cancer as well as improve bone density. A two-part study shows that low-carbohydrate soy foods have a lower glycemic index. Eating soy products as part of a healthy diet may help improve insulin levels and blood glucose control.
A recent study reviewing 14 trials to determine possible effects of soy on thyroid functioning in healthy subjects concludes that adults with hypothyroid do not need to avoid soy foods. However, those with compromised thyroid function or low iodine intake do want to ensure their iodine intake is sufficient.
In the Kitchen
Many home cooks shy away from beans because of the long soaking time that's required before cooking. But don't let this stop you from incorporating this inexpensive and nutritious protein source in your meals. Convenient and easy-to-prepare canned varieties come precooked and read to serve.
Dried varieties generally need to be soaked, except in the case of lentils. There are two main methods: cold soaking and hot soaking. To cold soak, place beans in a pot and cover them by a few inches with room temperature water. Cover the pot and set it aside for 8 to 12 hours. Drain and rinse the beans. Add fresh water to the pot before cooking as the recipe or package indicates.
The second method, hot soaking, is quicker. Place beans in a pot with enough water to cover by a few inches. Bring pot to a boil and boil for three minutes. Remove pot from heat and soak beans for one to four hours. Drain and rinse; cook as the package of recipe directs.
Dried beans come prepackaged or in bulk. Look for those with bright colors and smooth surfaces. While beans can be kept for indefinite periods of time, they do lose moisture and will require longer cooking times if stored too long. Keep them in airtight containers away from the sun. If you choose canned varieties, make sure you rinse them well before using. This not only brightens their flavor but also reduces sodium content.
Speaking of salt, don't add this seasoning until the end of cooking. That also goes for sugars, tomatoes, vinegars, wine, and lemon juice. If added too soon, these ingredients will prolong cooking time and may result in that dreaded, undercooked crunch.

ARLINGTON, Texas — A week after shaking up the Bowl Championship Series, the Baylor Bears are finally bowl eligible themselves.
"We got players and we got a team that fights," quarterback Nick Florence said. "A month ago, people were writing us off and this team fought hard. It means a lot."
In their 11th game, the Bears overcame three missed field goals — including one on the final play of a wild fourth quarter — before winning 52-45 in overtime against Texas Tech on Saturday.
Baylor (6-5, 3-5 Big 12) didn't lead until Eddie Lackey's 55-yard interception return for a touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter. Lackey had another pick with 1:46 left but Aaron Jones, whose 22-yard field goal a minute before that turnover tied the game, missed wide left on a 48-yard kick.
Glasco Martin scored on a 4-yard run in overtime for the Bears. The game ended on a fourth-down incompletion by Seth Doege after Texas Tech (7-5, 4-5) started its ensuing drive with a holding penalty.
Baylor was coming off a 52-24 victory over Kansas State, then the No. 1 team in the BCS standings.
With Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Robert Griffin III watching from the Bears sideline at Cowboys Stadium, two days after the rookie led the Washington Redskins to a victory there over the Dallas Cowboys, Baylor got bowl eligible for the third consecutive season. That's a first in school history.
"It's real big. When we first got here, we wanted to turn the program around, which we did," senior receiver Lanear Sampson said.
"Reflect on it? No. Appreciate it? Yes," coach Art Briles said. "I'm appreciative of our team becoming bowl eligible in what I think is the toughest conference in America."
The teams combined for 1,241 total yards (674 for Baylor and 567 for Tech).
Florence completed 22 of 37 passes for 396 yards and three touchdowns.

Original recipe yields 12 filled crepes
- Place the eggs, milk, water, melted butter, flour, and salt in the pitcher of a blender; blend until smooth.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 2 tablespoons for each crepe. Tip and rotate pan to spread batter as thinly as possible. Flip over when the batter is set and the edges are beginning to brown. Cook until the other side begins to brown. Stack finished crepes on a plate, cover with a damp towel and set aside.
- Blend the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
- To serve, fill each crepe with 1/4 cup sliced strawberries and 1/3 cup of the cream cheese filling, roll up and top with a small dollop of the cream cheese filling and more sliced strawberries.

I fell in love with crepes one year at IHOP when they were offering them seasonally. This is a yummy substitute that fills my craving until it's offered again. I give it four stars though because I found the recipe needed some changes. I did the last steps of making the cream cheese filling and whipping the cream first, and I put it in the fridge. I'm glad I did this, because cooking the crepes was VERY time-consuming. 2 tablespoons of batter made the crepes too tiny, even when I did tip the pan every which way. So I upped it to about 4 tablespoons or a little less than 1/4 a cup. I also had to cook it on less than medium heat or else it set too fast before I could spread the batter. If I had to change anything about my experience, I would have made sure my husband was home to entertain our 15 month old daughter. Cooking the crepes took so long, let's just say by the time I was done I had a screaming baby, a toy-scattered kitchen, and a messy diaper by the end of it. If I had used 2 Tablespoons of batter each time, I would have been cooking half the day and brunch would have become afternoon dinner. Time-consuming-- yes, but it's worth the result-- at least until IHOP brings back the crepes!
I thought this recipe was great, the filing was a little too sweet for my husband so next time i will cut back on the sugar and i didnt use the lemon zest but aside from that they were excellent
For my best friend's bridal shower I chose a theme "Parisian Cafe" and I used this recipe for the crepes I made as appetizers. I used this recipe in combination with the recipe "Dessert Crepes" also from allrecipes. Everyone LOVED them. One person even told me that these crepes were better than some that she had at her favorite restaurant :) I also ended up making them again a few days after the shower because they were so good. Both times I made them I didn't use lemon zest and the cream cheese filling still tasted great. The second time I didn't use lemon zest or lemon juice and they were still delicious.

I eat the seeds.
I eat the seeds.
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
How does one avoid eating the seeds? Spit them out?
Vash01, how do you get the fruit off the tree if it's that tall? Are there low branches? Do you climb a ladder? Do you wait for them to fall?
Oh my gosh, up until now i thought the only thing you ate from a pomegranate WAS the seeds
I cannot reach the fruit that is high up. There is plenty of low hanging fruit/branches that I can pick very easily. Usually the fruit that is on the ground is not good (overripe or eaten by birds). Even if I used my stepping stool, I won't be able to reach the fruit that is high.
As promised, here's that Salad recipe...
The Perfect Pomegranate and Spinach Salad
5-6 C (one container) of baby spinach leaves, chopped if full size leaves
1/3 C fresh cilantro leaves, chopped or 1/3 C parsley
1 C pomegranate seeds (the seeds from one pomegranate)
1/3 C pine nuts, toasted (we used coarsely chopped walnuts)
1/4 C red onion, sliced (optional)
Salad Dressing
4 Tablespoons olive oil
4 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
freshly ground pepper to taste (salt too if you use it)
1. In a large bowl, combine all salad ingredients and toss.
2. Pour dressing over salad, toss again, and serve.
Salad Dressing
1. In a jar, combine dressing ingredients and shake well.
2. Once combined well, pour over salad, toss and enjoy!!
As I said, this is a go to dish in our house for when we've got a big gathering here or going to a potluck. It would be perfect for those hosting a huge Thanksgiving do in a couple of weeks down in the US.

Understanding Owner Drawing in Delphi article introduced custom drawing of VCL controls.
As with menus (menu items), an application can create an owner-drawn combo box to take responsibility for painting list items. An owner-drawn combo box can list/show information other than text strings - usually some graphical elements.
To create an owner-draw combo box, we set its Style property to csOwnerDrawFixed or csOwnerDrawVariable.
If all list items in the combo box are the same height, such as strings or icons, an application can use the csOwnerDrawFixed style.
If list items are of varying height, like bitmaps of different size, an application can use the csOwnerDrawVariable style. In this case the application will receive the WM_MEASUREITEM Windows message and the OnMeasureItem event will be fired for each item - to specify the height of list items in the combo box.
Having done this, Windows no longer draws the control. Instead it sends a WM_DRAWITEM message whenever a portion of the control needs to be repainted. The parent window (form) of an owner-drawn combo box (its owner) then fires the OnDrawItem event when a portion of the combo box needs to be painted.
To demonstrate owner-drawing with combo boxes create a combo box full of colors (two variations) and a combo with true-type fonts showing the actual image of the font.
Color PickerTo create a combo box of colors, first we have to add color names to the Items of the combo box (done in the Form.OnCreate event). All colors (color names) are held in a Colors constant defined as:
The code used to draw the items is not too complex. We simply retreive the color associated with the item, set it as the color of the canvas and than draw the rectangle in that color. To obtain the string corresponding to the color, we call the ColorToString RTL function.
const Colors: array[0..17] of TColor = (clAqua, clBlack, ..., clWhite, clYellow) ;
Note: The "Additional" VCL palette has the TColorBox which represents a combo box that lets users select a color.
Note2: At the time of writing this article, Delphi did not include TColorBox.
procedure TForm1.ColorComboDrawItem(Control: TWinControl; Index: Integer; Rect: TRect; State: TOwnerDrawState) ;
with Control as TComboBox do
//draw filled rectangle
Canvas.Brush.Color := TColor(Colors[Index]) ;
Canvas.FillRect(Rect) ;
//draw color name
Canvas.TextOut(Rect.Left, Rect.Top, ColorToString(Colors[Index]))
Font PickerEven though it might look that having all the fonts displayed in the combo with the actual image of the font should be hard to code - it is not. I suppose you know that the global Screen variable (TScreen) in its Fonts property holds the face names for all fonts supported by the system (screen fonts).
To fill the font-combo with font names we simply use:
The OnDrawItem handler for the font combo looks like:
cnt : integer;
for cnt := 0 to Screen.Fonts.Count-1 do
FontCombo.Items.Add(Screen.Fonts.Strings[cnt]) ;
procedure TForm1.FontComboDrawItem(Control: TWinControl; Index: Integer; Rect: TRect; State: TOwnerDrawState) ;
with (Control as TComboBox).Canvas do
Font.Name := Screen.Fonts.Strings[Index];
FillRect(Rect) ;
TextOut(Rect.Left, Rect.Top, PChar(Screen.Fonts.Strings[Index]))

Students decorate Christmas creations
Date: December 3, 2009
by: Loren Mayo | Staff Writer
There was evident excitement in the air, while Bay Haven third-graders began their celebration of the holiday season by making gingerbread houses in their classroom Dec. 1. Under the direction of their teacher, Michala Magenheim-Morganti, known to her students as "Ms. M&M," the youngsters created four houses covered with gumdrops, candy canes and gummies nestled on "snow-covered" roofs.
This is the first time the youngsters have competed in the annual Community Youth Development gingerbread-house event sponsored by the Sarasota YMCA. It takes place this weekend at Westfield Sarasota Square Mall.
And, the kids are also engaged in another holiday project. The class has adopted, through the Sarasota YMCA, 40 homeless teenagers and is gathering items for Christmas stockings for them. Each stocking will be accompanied by handmade cards from the students.
Assisting with the gingerbread house project were parents Victor Sosa and Jennifer DeMichele.

- Thank you for including this story! The youth and adult groups that participated had a great time and we look forward to offering this again next year.
Just for clarification - the Sarasota YMCA was not a sponsor of this event. University of South FLorida Sarasota-Manatee and Neal Communities were the sponsors.

Plans unveiled for 300 homes at Ganger Farm near Romsey
11:07am Friday 24th January 2014 in News By Andrew Ross
A DEVELOPER has revealed plans to build almost 300 homes in Hampshire.
Barratt and David Wilson Homes announced plans for a 30-acre sports centre at Ganger Farm, in Romsey, which it said would be funded by a housing development.
Now it has revealed it is planning 275 homes, 20 per cent affordable, at the site.
A spokesperson for the developers said they were "acutely aware" of recent flooding issues in Romsey.
It said Ganger Farm is on gravel, allowing surface water to seep into the ground and has a drainage outlet through wet woodland.
A storage tank beneath the sports pavilion car park will hold water run-off which can be re-used for watering the sports pitches.
Sports centre plans include all-weather pitches, a pavilion with 12 changing rooms, a viewing gallery, bar or café and car parking.
Developers claim Romsey is short of sports pitches.
The proposals were welcomed by Romsey Hockey Club and Romsey Rugby Club, which said it would be keen to relocate there.
Test Valley Borough Council earmarked the site for a potential sports centre several years ago and it featured in the new revised local plan, but funding has never been available.
The council declined to comment until plans were submitted.
The plans go on show at exhibitions at the Romsey Scout HQ in Braishfield Road between 2pm and 8pm on Wednesday and at The White Horse Hotel, in Romsey, between 10am and 3pm next Saturday .

Danae wrote:Don't be naive. Barton Farm, Boorley Green, Grange Park......all originally subject to local plans and all classed as 'Countryside'
The Test Valley BC Local Plan designates Ganger Farm as Countryside, outside the boundary of Romsey within which development could be permitted.
So it appears that Barratt's promotion staff, not for the first time, are wasting their lives dreaming about an idea that can never happen.
With this proposed development comes a massive 106 - probably one that the council will never be able to fund itself - so chances are this development will go ahead.

These do require a bit of work to install, but they work very well. My shop is a mobile shop, bandsaw, jointer, bench and planer are on mobile bases. I use these to keep the cords from falling on the floor and getting the cord or plug damaged. I used a twist and push approach method to install these and it worked without using heat. this keeps them from sliding around on the cord. They fit on all of my tool's power cords so I'm not sure what cords other people have that they won't fit. The magnets are strong and the protected cover doesn't cause and damage to the tools.

At first I was irritated that it didnt fit on any of my cords except for the 2 prong battery recharger. I even went so far as to fill out the return paperwork. Then while typing up a 2 star review I read the other reviews. George from GA nailed it right on the head, heat the Cord Keepers up. I used a heat gun for a few seconds and it did the trick. I guess it is a minor trade off to be able to hold a chuck key or a 10 gauge cord. It might seem like too much effort but once it is on the cord, I don't plan to move it... ever... so the Magnetic Cord Keeper gets a come from behind 5 stars.

Quote:Should I be considering another camera for solar imaging? Thanks for you help, Guylain
Quote:Salut Guylain,
From Point Grey web site, you can get the price list after registering if memory serve me well.
The usb2 Chameleon mono is a popular choice for solar imaging. It seems to be hitting a sweet spot in the price/quality ratio department;
Quote:Merci Alain.Ok, I got the prices for the Flea line up now. Most cameras come with C-Mount or CS-Mount. What is the difference?Guylain
Quote:You can live with longer download speed. Here is one with Atik 314L+ and one with Flea3 ICX618 or PGR Chameleon.All of them do work. In case of DS cameras - they are slow but you also need much less frames.
Quote:ICX692 mono doesn't "exist" yet and you would have to wait to some early month of 2013. The e2v CMOS sensors in Blackfly is good too. It has much bigger diagonal than ICX445.(and even that Blackfly model isn't yet shipping - but it should start soon )

Positive Experience
Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took a day - interviewed at Amegy Corporation in March 2007.
Interview Details – An HR rep called me to come in for the interview. I met with the HR person who told me that I would be meeting with the department supervisor. Some of my coworkers told me that they interviewed with the Supervisor and another person. She was pleasant and the interview went well. Later that week, or the next, the HR person called me back to the office to give me an offer letter.
Interview Question – There were no difficult questions. She mostly asked questions that related to my past employment and how my skills would translate into success in her department. Answer Question

Rock Revival Kael Boot Jean 6 6
Another Fantastic Pair of Jeans! I guess you could call me a jean snob because I purchased my first pair of Rock Revivals a couple years ago and fell in love with the brand immediately. I now own several pair and every time I buy a new pair I think they are my favorites, but these truly have become my "go to" pair. I always get compliments on all the Rocks I own, but I think I have gotten more with this pair. As with all of their jeans, the quality is great and the fit is always fantastic. I would recommend these to anyone. June 3, 2013
Great edgy styling from one of the best brand available Normally Im an affliction devotee. I have many pairs of affliction jeans. But while browsing a local buckle I kept noticing the Rock revival jeans. Honestly i really wish I had discovered them before I filled my closet with Affliction. I admit it may look tacky wearing an affliction top with Rock revival jeans but honestly it was never about the name for me. It was about the style and the quality. And I would be lying If I said that Affliction made the best jeans. Unique? yes. But better quality than rock revival? Close but no. The Kael is great for the person that likes affliction though. The Kael jean branches out into the more edgy look that other brand dont dare touch. The result is a very high quality yet highly detailed piece of clothing that no one else will have. Rocks are expensive. But Its not just about the looks. They really are made extremely well and even your selvage denim cork sniffing 7for all mankind hugging hipsters tend to agree that if your going to wear pre aged denim Rock Revival is one of the better companies. I personally dont want to have to dedicate years to a single pair of jeans. I guess I have commitment issues. The the Kael jean. Your credit card may hate you, but your mirror will thank you. March 23, 2013
Best pants ever!! I recently bought these and 2 other pairs of rock revival jean ! These jeans feel so good,well stitched, very stylish and are so freakin nice to wear!! If you buy a pair you'll never want another brand ! At least that's how I felt these are now my main jeans brand! February 11, 2013
Kael jeans These jeans r my favourite pair.. After buying one pair of rock revival jeans u won't want to wear any other kind!!!! January 31, 2013
Love this brand and fit ! Bought these jeans for my boyfriend and they look wonderful on him. They also last forever well worth the money you pay :) def recommend girls and guys Rock Revival jeans ! January 30, 2013
Great Jeans Love these jeans. The look great and all the details are perfect. There are no loose threads or anything. The coloring is great and the stitching on the holes look even better than they look online. By far my favorite pair of Rocks. January 7, 2013

Justin Bieber Discusses New Single About Selena Gomez Break-Up, 'Nothing Like Us'
January 28th, 2013 7:34pm EST
Justin Bieber's latest tune is about his break up with Selena Gomez - and he's not hiding it.
The song, Nothing Like Us, features such lyrics as, "You know I'm used to making your day / But that is the past now, we didn't last now / I guess that this is meant to be yeah / Tell me, was it worth it? We were so perfect."
In an exclusive interview and single debut with Billboard, the pop star says about life post Selena, "I'm not in the happiest place that I've ever been. I'm trying to get through what I'm going through. Like I said, I have my really close friends to cheer me up and keep me going."
He refuted rumors he's basically stalking Selena, saying "There's so many rumors. People say I call Selena every day and she won't pick up the phone or I'm chasing her down, and these are all fake stories." Bieber went on to say he doesn't read stories about himself online, but friends chime in and tell him all about the news posts.
Despite the recent tone of his songs, Bieber is adamant he still has fun and he has no regets. He quotes his mother as saying: "You got to learn the hard way, don't you?"
You can listen to Bieber's new song, Nothing Like Us, on Billboard.

For example:
• He was a child star in Hong Kong — the Macaulay Culkin of his day and place.
• He was a 1957 cha-cha champion.
• In college, he was obsessed with General Hospital.
• He was quoted as saying, "My obsession is to make, pardon the expression, the fuckingest action motion picture ever made."
That film in question is, of course, 1973's epic Enter the Dragon; the feature-length doc spends the last third covering his movie-star years. Throughout, the story is told by family members (including Lee's daughter, Shannon, and widow, Linda), friends and admirers who never met the guy, from Kobe Bryant and various MMA fighters to Mickey Rourke and Ed O'Neill, who is identified as an "actor/martial artist." Who knew?
Home footage and vintage interviews abound. It's amazing to see him demonstrate his famous one-inch punch, and just plain fun to see him teaching moves in his backyard to fellow badass Steve McQueen.
A production of Spike TV, I Am Bruce Lee is slick and reverent, sometimes too much for its own good. For fans of Lee, and millions of us remain, it's certainly worth one watch. —Rod Lott

Carney: Scotland has to cede sovereignty if it wants pound
by Max Skjönsberg on Jan 29, 2014 at 13:27
Scotland would have to relinquish a degree of sovereignty if it would keep sterling as its currency in the event of becoming independent, according to governor of the Bank of England Mark Carney.
Scotland has signalled it would keep the pound if voting for independence in September. However, Carney (pictured) said in a speech in Edinburgh that the experience of the eurozone shows that a 'durable, successful currency union requires some ceding of national sovereignty.'
Carney said a prerequisite would be a banking union between Scotland and the rest of the UK, referring to common supervisory standards, access to central bank liquidity and lender of last resort facilities, common resolution mechanisms, and a credible deposit guarantee scheme.
'Without a banking union, cross-border capital flows can be restricted, the effectiveness of monetary policy impaired and, in the extreme, the viability of the union itself undermined,' said Carney, speaking at a lunch hosted by the Scottish Council for Development and Industry.
According to Carney, a banking union would also need common fiscal arrangements, as 'problems in one country are very likely to spill over to others.'
Referring to the European experience of the inadequacy of fiscal rules as opposed to fiscal mechanisms, Carney said the Scottish parliament and Westminster 'would have to agree on whether fiscal rules were sufficient or whether…risk-sharing mechanisms were necessary'.
On the broader question of whether monetary union would be the right option if Scotland were to become independent, Carney said it was entirely up to the parliaments of Scotland and Westminster to negotiate and that the Bank of England would implement any outcome of such talks.

What part of independence does Salmon not understand.
Scotland will have to either reintroduce the groat or join the doomed euro if it want true independence; most English people don't want Scotland with their drain on the Exchequer through the Barnett formula etc. etc.
Bring it on.

"most English people don't want Scotland", really? Have you asked all of them?
As a Scot who wants Scotland to remain part of the UK, comments like that are unhelpful.report this
Jan 29, 2014 at 16:29
We are an island nation which has enjoyed many centuries of inter marriage- very few families are solely constituents of one part- it would be very sad to see the break up of the UK after such a good political and economic union. Seems amazing to the outsider that Salmon has kept his bandwagon running for such a long time -certainly doesn't seem to represent the views of the proud Scottish folk I deal with. What influence would wee Salmon have in Brussels- as much as the Baltic states?
We will see what Scotland decides... why not just keep patriotism for the Calcutta Cup?report this

WASECA — Waseca area residents are getting a taste of the intense political battle for control of the Minnesota Senate.
With state Sen. Mike Parry, R-Waseca, making an unsuccessful run for Congress instead of seeking re-election to the Legislature, his Senate District 24 seat is seen as winnable by both Democrats and Republicans, who are trying to retain control of the majority after four decades of DFL dominance.
Vicki Jensen, DFL-Owatonna, is co-owner of an independent insurance agency, serves on the Owatonna School Board and is an active member of the local chamber of commerce. She's also destined to be a big-spending stooge of labor unions if elected to the Senate, according to mailers being sent by the Republican Party to district voters.
Vern Swedin, R-Owatonna, is an entrepreneur who has started several small businesses, including his first at age 20, and has taken multiple mission trips with his church to help feed poverty-stricken residents of Haiti. He's also a failed business owner who left creditors in the lurch when his construction company went bankrupt, according to advertising run by a liberal organization promoting the election of Democrats to the Legislature.
The district dominated by the cities of Waseca and Owatonna hasn't been particularly competitive over the years, but it has shown a strong independent streak and has been trending more Democratic.
Its two most recent senators also have been among the Senate's more colorful characters. During Sen. Dick Day's 20 years, he was known for speaking his mind — including when he was frustrated with fellow Republicans.
Day resigned late in 2009 and was replaced by Parry in a special election. While Day was well-liked by many Democratic colleagues, Parry was a lightning rod at the Capitol and had a particularly difficult relationship with Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton.
In any case, there hasn't been a DFL senator elected in Waseca-Owatonna in more than 40 years.
Policy and partnering
Jensen thinks she has the resume and the skills to end the DFL losing streak.
Too often in recent years, state policy has disproportionately harmed outstate Minnesota — with outstate Minnesota Republicans going along with the changes, Jensen said.
"The market value homestead credit was an example of that," she said.
The Republican-controlled Legislature proposed the elimination of the credit as part of their effort to eliminate a $5 billion budget shortfall without raising state-level taxes. While some Republicans, noting that the League of Minnesota Cities supported the idea, said they didn't realize the impact it would have on property taxes, Jensen said they were warned.
She recalled a meeting she attended where both Parry and Democratic Rep. Kory Kath of Owatonna were present.
"Kory Kath said, 'Your property taxes are going to go up if you go ahead and do this,'" said Jensen, who pointed to rapid jumps in real estate taxes that resulted. "... Minnesota businesses and farms both took a hit."
Her interest in running for the Senate also was sparked by an announcement by the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce that their proposed legislative agenda included eliminating Local Government Aid, an important source of revenue for many outstate cities.
Jensen was serving as chairwoman of the Owatonna Area Chamber's public policy committee and questioned the state chamber's representative at a regional meeting.
"I asked what that would look like here," she said of the chamber proposal to drop LGA and let cities institute local sales taxes. "They said they hadn't modeled it in greater Minnesota. When I heard they were proposing a policy and hadn't modeled it in greater Minnesota, I became very angry."
The chamber plan, abandoned when other outstate members reacted the same as Jensen, would have had an inevitable result in smaller cities with smaller retail economies, she said: "Our property taxes would have gone up."
Maintaining the state's tradition of providing property tax relief for outstate cities is a top priority for Jensen, enough so that she would support Dayton's plan to raise income taxes on the state's highest earners if part of the revenue was dedicated to Local Government Aid and other measures to reduce real estate taxes.
"It really has been a partnership between the cities and the state in the past," she said. "I see an erosion of that partnership, and we have to be strong."
But that doesn't mean she thinks tax hikes alone will fix the state's recurring budget problem or that the state can go wild with additional spending, Jensen said — regardless of the claims on the Republican mailers.
"There has to be a lot of cutting and improving efficiencies of our services," she said. "... We can't keep doing this the way we've been doing it. We don't have the money."
And that means being willing to listen to ideas from both Republicans and Democrats when crafting legislation, Jensen said. Too often, watching legislative committees in the past two years, she said she saw Democratic amendments rejected by the Republican majority even though they would have improved the bills under consideration.
"For me, public policy is: Why are we doing it? Who's going to be affected? And what can we add to make it better policy?" she said.
Down to business
Swedin said his business background and the lessons he's learned were the motivating factors in his first run for elected office.
"I have been a serial entrepreneur," he said.
Starting with a lawn care business at age 20, he later went into construction and then satellite television programming sales. Working as a small businessman taught Swedin the value of the private sector in job creation and also the barriers government can put in the way. He thinks the Senate could find value in his experience.
"I just wanted to bring that common sense — here's what the real world is — as a small-business person," he said.
Part of the real world of entrepreneurs is that failure can occur, something focused on by the Alliance for a Better Minnesota ad reporting on Swedin's bankruptcy filing 15 years ago. Swedin said they didn't tell the whole story.
"A partner took all of the money and equipment in the middle of the night, and it forced my wife and I into a bankruptcy in 1997," said Swedin, who said the partner was never prosecuted for the alleged theft.
The early struggles taught him important lessons: "You have to be able to trust who you're working with, and you have to do the math — each project has to work."
"It's painful to talk about because you have those failures," he said. "But entrepreneurs have to fail forward."
Swedin said he got back up, ultimately rising to the position of president of Pace Electronics in Rochester. He now operates his own consulting business.
If elected, he plans to work to reduce the state's tax burden on small businesses and streamline regulations and permitting requirements. Minnesota doesn't need to be a low-tax, low-service state, but it shouldn't be anywhere near the bottom when it comes to tax climate, Swedin said.
"Somewhere in the middle would bring a new level of confidence in investing in good-paying local jobs," he said.
He would push in the near term for targeted tax credits for businesses that create jobs while working toward broader improvements in the overall Minnesota tax climate.
Swedin strongly opposes any tax increases, including Dayton's plan for higher rates for top incomes.
The state's problem is excessive spending, and higher taxes would only encourage more, he said: "That spend-more policy can really get us in trouble, like the federal government."
Swedin doesn't offer specific spending cuts that he would support, saying only that he would target duplication in government programs and take education off the table for any budget reductions.
Taxing high earners also can cause reductions in charitable support that wealthier Minnesotans would otherwise provide, he said. If higher taxes provide a boost to programs for the poor, but the taxes force down contributions to institutions such as local food shelves, the poor are no better off, Swedin said.
"What happens if all we're doing is taxing high-income earners from giving," he said. "What did we solve?"
While he might share some policy positions with the Republican senator he hopes to succeed, Swedin said he would bring a different style to the Capitol. And he's confident that senators from all political perspectives can share one goal.
"I don't like to be adversarial," he said. "... We have to make sure our 67 senators are focused on the same priority — good-paying local jobs."

NICHQ Highlights Infant Hearing Screening Program during Better Hearing and Speech Month
May 8, 2012
Unreliable follow-up processes threaten the development of babies who fail their hearing test
In recognition of May as Better Hearing and Speech Month, the National Institute for Children's Healthcare Quality (NICHQ) has developed the following diagram to illustrate how infants are lost in the hearing screening process. Every year, US hospitals test the hearing of millions of babies, some 60,000 of whom do not pass an initial hearing test. Of those, roughly half have no state record of receiving follow-up care or services.
(Click diagram to enlarge)
When infants fail a hearing test, they need to receive timely follow-up testing to determine if they do in fact have hearing loss. Infants that fail the second test should start early intervention services (such as using a hearing aid or sign language) as quickly as possible to ensure successful speech and language development. Unfortunately, these critical follow-up steps are not happening at the same level of reliability as the initial screening.
NICHQ aims to make sure no infants are lost in this system by helping teams across the country streamline screening and intervention services and making sure parents understand what to do when infants fail a hearing test.
NICHQ is partnering with the Health Resources and Service Administration's Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) to help all 50 states better their Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) services. Participants in this quality improvement program, called Improving Hearing Screening & Intervention Systems (IHSIS), work with audiologists, health care providers, and parents to implement positive changes in the detection and treatment systems.
Early hearing loss can have serious effects on a child's development. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) lists the four ways in which hearing loss can potentially affect a child if left untreated:
- It causes delays in the development of receptive and expressive communication skills (the child's speech and language skills develop more slowly).
- The language deficit adversely affects the child's vocabulary, sentence structure, and speaking ability, causing learning problems that result in reduced academic achievement.
- These learning and academic problems often lead to social isolation and poor self-esteem.
- The inability of the child to effectively communicate and socialize with others and the low self-esteem that often occurs frequently have a detrimental impact on the child's future vocational choices.
However, many children who receive services early are able to develop language and cognition skills at rates similar to children without hearing loss. NICHQ encourages parents who suspect hearing loss in a child to seek treatment as soon as possible. For more information, please visit an informational page at the CDC, contact a local EDHI department, or search the ASHA.

- Thursday 4 April 2013
The website, winetrust100.co.uk, which launched yesterday (Wednesday 3rd April) – is a joint venture set up by three Masters of Wine: John Hoskins MW, Sarah Abbott MW and Nick Adams MW, with additional expertise from ex-Tesco retailer John Valentine.
The aim of the site is to promote a list of 100 wines that offer 'exceptional value for money, across a range of styles, regions and price brands.'
Speaking at the launch of the new site on Wednesday evening, John Hoskins MW told decanter.com that their website offers consumers 'a different way of wine scoring.'
Their USP is that the website lists each wine according to its 'QPR' score (Quality Price Ratio), a first for online wine retail.
The key advantage, Hoskins believes, is that the score does not relate to the wine's quality alone, 'we are giving value the emphasis, rather than pure quality,' he said.
According to the MW trio, the selection will change on average once a month as wines sell out, new wines are discovered or current wines pass their ideal drinking window.
Of the 100 wines on offer, 80 are less than £20 per bottle.
Delivery is free to mainland UK addresses for 12 bottles or more, otherwise the standard charge is £10.

The poetry, music, and culture of the troubadours of what is now southern France informed and inspired musicians and poets all over Europe for generations. Even now, a thousand years later, cultures around the globe refer to favored singers as troubadours. What did the original troubadours do that was so different from previous composers? Their poems were much more personal and the music was singable and relatively simple, yet, like the poems, complex and structured in its creation.
TEMP will perform songs about the absent boyfriend, politics, the death of a king, unrequited love, and even completely reciprocated love (!) along with chants and motets from southern France and northern Spain to evoke the passion, intellect, and cultural fervor that arose from Occitania, Castilla, and Galicia, making the region a center for the arts in the 11th–13th centuries. Rarely heard Aquitanian chant from St. Martial de Limoges and motets from Las Huelgas Codex, Codex Calixtinus, and Llibre vermell display the virtuosity and creativity prevalent in the sacred music of the region at that time.
One of the most important troubadour songs of the evening will be "Fortz chausa es que tot lo major dan," by Gaucelm Faidit, a plaint on the death of Richard Lion-heart in 1199. The lament is both heartfelt and current, written shortly after the king's death, as Faidit died just a few years later in 1205. Stephanie Prewitt, long-time Austin favorite, will be the soloist. Another featured set will be one of the first song cycles, "Cantigas d'amigo" or 'boyfriend songs,' written by the 13th-century Galician poet/composer Martim Codax. In this cycle of seven short songs, a young girl misses her sailor boyfriend and joyfully anticipates his return from the sea and very painfully laments his continued absence. Soloists for this cycle are Meredith Ruduski, Jenny Houghton, and Cayla Cardiff.

The Huffington Post Canada | By Lauren Strapagiel Posted: 03/31/2012 3:11 pm Updated: 03/31/2012 6:01 pm
An Alberta Progressive Conservative staffer has resigned after going rogue on Twitter.
Staffer Amanda Wilkie (@wikwikkie) questioned why Alberta Wildrose leader Danielle Smith, turning 41 this weekend, doesn't have any children.
"If @ElectDanielle likes young and growing families so much, why doesn't she have children of her own? #wrp family pack = insincere," Wilkie said on Twitter.
PC party official Josh Trapow responded:
As the Twitter backlash grew, Wilkie deleted the tweet and said "Fine, I apologize."
Wilkie, who did not identify herself as a PC staffer on her Twitter profile, is listed as the executive assistant to the executive director of the Southern Alberta Office Executive Branch at Calgary's McDougall Centre, according to the Calgary Herald.
The tweet came on the heels of a child-tax credit announcement as part of the Wildrose's Family Pack Pledge.
In response, Smith released a statement Saturday. But rather than calling out Wilkie's questionable tact, she revealed that she and her husband tried but were unable to conceive with the aid of fertility treatments:
"In the last day the question has been raised about why I don't have children of my own. When David and I married in 2006 we intended to have children together. After a few years we sought help from the Calgary Regional Fertility Clinic. I appreciated the support and assistance of the caring staff as we went through tests and treatments, but in the end we were not successful.
"I consider myself very fortunate to have a terrific stepson, Jonathan, David's son from a previous marriage. I am also blessed to have grown up in a large family with four siblings who have given me the opportunity to be the auntie of 5 terrific nieces and nephews: Emily, Sam, Chloe, Seyenna and Logan.
"Family is very important to me and I consider this to be a very personal matter. I will not be commenting on it further."
PC candidate Alison Redford then released a statement announcing that Wilkie had resigned:
Last night, a tweet was sent that was entirely inappropriate. It was hurtful and does not reflect my values nor those of my campaign in any way.
Once I became aware of the tweet, I called Danielle Smith immediately. I look forward to speaking with her privately.
The young woman who authored the tweet has resigned from her position. From that action I know she understands the gravity of her actions."
Smith, who had largely kept the controversy off of her own Twitter feed, responded that she accepted Redford's apology:
With a busty campaign bus mocked by a late-night TV host, the Wildrose edging ahead of the Tories and robocall complaints, the Alberta election is shaping up as one to watch.
