- Scenic Bliss with Fabulous cuisineLschapiDined on 9/27/2014One of the best places we have ever dined at.Superb view of the raging ocean just feet away together with a unigue and superb meal! Ambiance at its finest!Special Features:
- ExcellentLAtoOCDined on 9/27/2014We ate at Splashes on a Saturday night ~7:30pm. I requested a table outside as close to the water and was glad to see they were able to accommodate us. Overall, fantastic waiter with an excellent knowledge of the drinks, wines, and meals. The ambiance and food was fantastic. Recommend for starters the oysters and ahi tuna tartare. We ordered halibut, salmon, lamb, and surf/turf for main courses - all were excellent. Fantastic place on the water with great food - normally a hard combo to find around here...Special Features:
- DisappointingOCDinersDined on 9/27/2014We were first told by the valet, they would not park our truck bc it was too big. They continued taking cars after we pulled in. The valet was very rude. Appetizers & dessert disappointing. Main course was okay. Ordered stk & lobster special. Came as stk & shrimp, said they ran out of lobster. They should of told me no lobster prior to bringing it & they should of lowered the price of the meal. Very disappoinnted.Special Features:
- Lousy foodOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/25/2014Great view but the food is very disappointing. My first time there with my girl friend for lunch. Salmon is too sweet with very greasy veggie. Old cooking oil, very unhealthy..Special Features:
- Georgeous Ocean-Front DiningOCnativeDined on 9/24/2014Can't beat the view, food or service. Splashes is our go-to special occasion restaurant. Steps from the sand and water. Catalina views. Dazzling sunsets. So Cal dining at its finest.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/23/2014The food, service and view were outstanding. Great restaurant for special occasions or just to relax and have a great mealSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday celebrationAmy22Dined on 9/22/2014This is my favorite restaurant for celebrating my birthday. I came with a party of five, and was seated at one of the best tables -- lower level. The service was excellent as always, and the food was great. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset, several bottles of wine, and a great meal, including dessert. All in all, a spectacular evening!Special Features:
- brunchOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/21/2014Came here with my sister and the view is great! Menu has a great selection. I want to go back to try their other items. I had the crab and asparagus omelet. It tasted as I expected it to taste. Lol.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Go for the view, not the foodParisNanetteDined on 9/21/2014Went for brunch this time and we were all very disappointed. We were seated next to the glass barrier so the spectacular view of the waves crashing on the beach just outside is unsurpassed and rare in SoCal. Unfortunately every dish for our party of five was "off". Grass-fed beef burgers were gamey tasting and strong. An omelet was very over salted and uninteresting. One of our party sent food back but as it was a special occasion we didn't want to wait for everyone to get something different. Don't know if this was a one off or a downward trend for what has been a favourite place to celebrate for our family.Special Features:
- WaveDined on 9/14/2014Nice experience, but it's obvious they seriously water down their well drinks. That is rather insulting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- QueenbeeVIPDined on 9/14/2014Absolutely love this restaurant! We came for brunch and the food is incredible, we started with a Bloody Mary, black truffle tator tots and nachos. Everything was excellent, especially the at tentative service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday dinnerGoldie913Dined on 9/13/2014Stayed at surf and sand and enjoyed splashes for my b day dinner! There was 4 of us and the vibe was great! Good also excellent! We would go back again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing View, Amazing FoodJohnBDined on 9/13/2014From the minute we walked in and hostess Amada welcomed us it was a First Class evening all the way. Amazing views, amazing food and amazing service. This restaurant is one of a kind!Special Features:
- DissapointingCarlVIPDined on 9/12/2014Nice views, but the food was disappointing for the price. The service was poor, the waiter failed to bring us a wine list (we had to ask a secondary server for this and still it took way to much time. Our order was taken incorrectly which further delayed the service. The table was uneven and despite asking twice for help leveling it no help came. The muscle appetizer was terrible (half the muscles were empty shells). The main course was OK but nothing to brag about. All in all very disappointing for the price point.Special Features:
- Beautiful viewOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/12/2014We love this place. Can't beat the beautiful ambience of waves crashing. Good food and service. Always enjoy.Special Features:
- Business dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/7/2014I recently had a business dinner at Splashes for an important customer from out of town. Beautiful evening and all commented on how much they enjoyed the restaurant. One of the few places to have dinner right on the ocean, great views and relatively quiet if you exclude the noise from the roaring surf....food and service were good, the venue exceptional. Not the first time I've been here and never afraid to return.Special Features:
- Views AND Great Food!marlynchDined on 9/7/2014Honestly, a lot of the restaurants on the coast with stunning views do not have great food, but Splashes consistently has excellent food AND the best up-close ocean views anywhere.....and that it is located in gorgeous Laguna Beach makes it all the better. I love this place! The crab eggs benedict for brunch were amazing....real, beautiful crab on top, and not a crab cake...just luscious crab with a superb sauce. Awesome. And the service was excellent (and so was the cinnamon roll!). They knew of our celebration from my Open Table comments and were very accommodating and personable.....and they let us stay and talk and not feel rushed. What a great day!Special Features:
- too far left.......PamelatjVIPDined on 9/6/2014......need to come back to center. The food was too far fusion verses blah. My Crudo appetiser was far better than the salmon entree.Special Features:
- Excellent Food & ServiceBlondieDined on 9/6/2014We were in the mood for steak which was not on the menu. We asked the server if he could ask the cook if they had steak. They did and made a special dinner for us. They made a cheese platter because I am a cheese lover and matched the wine to the cheese they served to us. All the food and wine was excellent. The waiter tended to every need we had. I would definitely recommend Splashes for the service, the ocean views, and the great food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrible SteakOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/5/2014Shrimp was good but steak was very tuff and I ordered it medium rare. I can BBQ much better myself. I should have sent it back.Special Features:
- Cool vibesIslandFoodieDined on 8/31/2014We wanted a waterfront dining option on Laguna Beach & Splashes certainly fit that bill. They were small, quaint & accommodating and the view was spectacular. We ordered grass fed burgers & they were perfectly cooked. Great vibe.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect but expensive nightKlunkyDined on 8/30/2014We went here for my birthday dinner. The view can't be beat, and I highly recommend this place for a special occasion dinner. The menu prices can be deceiving. "Market Price" for the paella is $58 . More than we expected for an over-cooked filet and shrimp, with some delicious saffron rice. The view can't be beat though. We had a great time, and the food was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Business DiningWestMeetsEastDined on 8/28/2014Wonderful Ocean View; friendly service; delicious meals and selections of beverages... Great place to conducting business social event here!Special Features:
- What A ViewDeltaDined on 8/27/2014The combination of food, service and view of the beach and surf made our dining experience fantastic. This place will be a keeper!Special Features:
- Always a pleasure...gr8timeDined on 8/26/2014Splashes is our special event go-to spot! Always grerat food, excellent service, and an awesome view.Special Features:
- Caymanmama43VIPDined on 8/26/2014The day we had lunch at Splashes there were spectacular waves to watch and the sea food salad was equally spectacular.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Splashes - on the waterSteakloverVIPDined on 8/24/2014The location of Splashes, at the Surf and Sand in Laguna, is terrific. We ate lunch one floor above the beach in a room with open floor to ceiling windows (clear glass railings half way up). The breeze, the crash of the surf and the amazing view of the ocean were marvelous. If it had been 5 degrees warmer, it would have felt just like Hawaii. The food selections on the menu were okay but a little pricey.The food itself was fine. And the service was fine.Special Features:
- Beautiful must have the right seatImpressionsDined on 8/23/2014Good food limited menu. Cauliflower or asparagus in most things. Pricey but well prepared food. Right near the water. Don't stay unless you get a good table. We were lucky and moved. Reserved months in advance but it didn't seem to matter. We enjoyed it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely View of the Sunseteliza3939Dined on 8/23/2014Wait staff was attentive, food was fine. We have been here before and returned because of the location and the view of the ocean. The sunset was as spectacular as we remembered from before. Since we were on the veranda the noise level was nominal. Inside it was definitely louder.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Spectaular SPLASHES!!!SoCalJoyDined on 8/21/2014If you love the ocean, you'll love Splashes & if you get seated (as we did) on the lower level, you'll literally feel the 'splash' of the ocean....In a refreshing way. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The tableside lobster bisque was amazing and the asparagus salad was refreshing. The table was split on the swordfish – one person thought it was great, but another felt that it was just a bit too fishy. My wise friend we were celebrating said, "If you can see the ocean it's always best to order the fish." While there were other non-seafood choices, we pleasantly stuck with the seafood theme. Service was well-timed and friendly. Mahalo nui loa to Lani & the Splashes Staff for making this a memorable & wonderful evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad service and food. Good view.OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/20/2014We've been dining at Spashes on and off for many years. Visited this week for dinner on a Wednesday night. Made reservation a week in advance. Arrived and the hostess somewhat rudely said our table wasn't ready and we were free to wait or eat in the bar. We chose to get a drink and wait which turned out to be 25 minutes. Finally our table was ready on the upper floor in front of the glass. Waiter took another fifteen minutes to come by for our order. We started with the ahi appetizer and another drink. Took another 25 minutes with the appetizer and forgot the drinks. Ahi was gross. Water glass had crack in it. I ordered the short ribs for $42 and wife had a compressed something or rather. Both were bland. I can't recommend.
- Beautiful Location - Food??LovegoodfoodDined on 8/20/2014I have dined at Splashes at least 20 times. I take clients, friends and family and had large parties on the side patio over the last 10-12 years. I think that the food selection has become a bit edgy and not always very good. My Client and I both decided to try their hamburger. This is not something I would normally order, but it's the only thing that sounded good. It was not hot when we received it and not all that interesting either. The best part was the French fries. 2 hamburgers and 2 ice teas was $58. I guess we are paying for the location. On a couple of other visits my friends and I who love Brussel sprouts ordered a side of them. They were bitter, dry and burned tasting. Very disappointing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingLuv2eatoutDined on 8/17/2014Took family from out of town for Sunday Brunch. Service was friendly but s l o w! Food was not good. Ordered breakfast quesadilla, was supposed to have bacon in it, didn't. Another in our party ordered the seafood salad. High priced and the portion was tiny. Overall not a good experience. Will not go back. The location is beautiful. The kitchen needs to improve. None of us enjoyed our meals.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/16/2014I brought down a cake earlier that afternoon for my mom's birthday dinner later that evening as a surprise. The staff was exceptional in accomodating that request of holding it and coordinated bringing it the table without much work on my part! They also went above and beyond with the presentation of serving the cake. The waitstaff and overall staff were very friendly and accomodating. True five star service and attention to detail!Special Features:
- DisappointedLuv2dineDined on 8/14/2014We have dined here several times before, but this time was a disappointment. New menu which was not that great, slow service, extremely high prices.Special Features:
- Beautiful ViewOCFoodieDined on 8/13/2014The food was great, the service was outstanding and the view was amazing. I always love dining at Surf & Sand!Special Features:
- Beautiful Eveningluv2eatDined on 8/12/2014You cant get much closer to the ocean unless you are swimming in it! The views and sunset were stunning! our meals were very good, dinner was a little slow coming out, but we just soaked in the view a little longer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mesmerizing viewParisNanetteDined on 8/10/2014The Tweens in our group were so mesmerized by the sight of the crashing waves so close to our table that they forgot to look at their iPhones during the meal! There are few places on the Orange County coast where you can have such great food and service and the sound of the ocean waves so close. Definitely a place to bring your visitors.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Small portions/ outrageous pricesFoodcriticVIPDined on 8/9/2014Portions were ridiculously small with outrageous pricing...
- Always a delightSublimeDined on 8/8/2014We come to Splashes at least once a year, and we love it every time. It's a splurge for us, so if we could afford to go more frequently, we would! This evening was another great meal, with a fantastic view on the patio. We saw dolphin playing in the waves, as we waited for our food; this is always a reminder for me to relax and slow down. Well, here at Splashes, it's so easy to relax. I had the scallops and risotto, and my husband had the salmon. We also shared the brussel sprouts (SO good---really!). I just love the sound of sand on the floors to the elevator, and that nearly every table is cozy and can offer a spectacular view of the sunset. (Go for the sunset, for sure!) As always, Splashes did not disappoint us.Special Features:

Residents in one Plano apartment complex will soon have to scoop their dog's poop or face a big stink when management tests it for DNA.
Northside at Legacy recently posted a notice on residents' doors informing them that they needed to provide a DNA sample from their pet.
"Once the registry is complete, any feces found on the property will be checked for DNA and the pet owner will be fined $250. If the fine is not paid, the rental agreement will be terminated. If you fail to register your pet, you will be fined $250 and risk termination of your rental agreement as well," the notice states.
According to the letter, the tests will be conducted by Tennessee-based PooPrints. The company says on its website that properties using its services report an almost immediate reduction in dog poop.
Some at Northside like the idea.
Danielle Lay doesn't mind giving up her dog's DNA because she said the problem has gotten pretty bad.
"I agree with it because there's a lot of people who unfortunately are not picking up after their dogs," she said.
Others called it nonsense.
"It's crazy. What's the world coming to? Taking DNA from a dog and matching it to the poop? That's nuts," said Michael Guyer.
Although he admits he can't walk in a straight line on some of the sidewalks without stepping in the stuff, he still thinks's the idea is insane. It's a little too much Big Brother for him.
"That's why I'm laughing. It's the craziest thing I've ever heard. It's like 1984. Like, what other things are they going to come up with to do something like this," he said.
The complex said it has only had one complaint so far about the new policy. It also believes doggie DNA testing is only going to become more and more common.

Wound Care Haiti: Raising Awareness And Making A Difference For People With Diabetes
- Patrick DeHeer DPM FACFAS
- 5384 reads
- 2 comments
The non-profit organization I have started, Wound Care Haiti, was invited to participate in the World Diabetes Day by the Haitian Foundation for Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease (FHADIMAC). I traveled to Haiti along with two colleagues, Timothy Syperek, DPM, and Robert Hatcher, DPM. The weeklong program was geared to help Wound Care Haiti and FHADIMAC establish a world class wound care center in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the Western hemisphere and has a population of about 9 million people, half of whom live in the capital of Port-Au-Prince. An epidemiology study by the FHADIMAC determined that the prevalence of diabetes in Haiti is 7 percent of the population. This would equate to approximately 63,000 patients with diabetes in Haiti. Using the "15-15" rule, that would put the amount of diabetic foot ulcers at approximately 9,500 and related amputations at approximately 1,425. The five-year survival rate for a lower extremity amputation is only 50 percent. This means almost 750 Haitians will die within five years of having a lower extremity amputation.
The good news, however, is that studies have shown that the number of amputations can be decreased by 45 to 80 percent with a dedicated wound clinic. This is the goal of Wound Care Haiti and FHADIMAC for the people of Haiti, and the promise I made to my Haitian brothers and sisters on World Diabetes Day.
We arrived in Port-Au-Prince on a Tuesday evening. We provided lectures to physicians (10 hours), nurses (five hours) and pedicurists (three hours) that covered all aspects of wound care. There were two hands-on workshops on total contact casting and football dressing application, indications and techniques. We did approximately three hours of clinic patient visits on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday between morning and afternoon lectures. We saw over 100 patients for the week.
We also did hospital rounds at the University Hospital and St. Francis de Sales each day. The cases we saw at the University Hospital were extreme. These cases were not something you would see in the United States as these patients would have had earlier and more aggressive intervention in the U.S. Most of these patients required above-the-knee or below-the-knee amputations, which significantly limited the amount of surgery performed on our trip.
We were able to do a transmetatarsal amputation and tendo-Achilles lengthening on one case and prevented a higher level amputation. We had several general surgeons and orthopedic surgeons observing the surgery. The equipment was severely limited. For example, we used a Gigli saw without handles for the metatarsal osteotomies but the case went very well.
At a World Diabetes Day program that took place in November at the Plaza Hotel in Port-Au-Prince. The FHADIMAC sponsored a fantastic educational program for the general public. I had the opportunity to speak on the importance of proper diabetic foot care and the prevention of complications in the diabetic foot.
The wound care center at the FHADIMAC facility is up and going with three general surgeons, the only vascular surgeon in Haiti and one orthopedic surgeon seeing patients. They are working closely with the endocrinologist of FHADIMAC to help provide a comprehensive patient care program. This program is just getting started and has a long way to go, but those of us involved with it are dedicated to Haiti and its people.
While supplies and equipment are lacking for now, we will continue to share our knowledge with Haitian physicians and nurses in order to raise awareness and help develop a referral center for those in need. Haitians deserve a wound care center comparable to any throughout the world. Wound Care Haiti is going to make this happen.
If you would like to assist in this project, please contact me via email at firstname.lastname@example.com and visit our Web site at www.woundcarehaiti.org.
What a timely blog. I am sure that you cannot help but wonder what has happened to these patients and physicians with whom you worked during that period of time in Haiti.
Perhaps the influx of attention coming in to Haiti, in the long run, will also benefit Wound Care Haiti.
Keep up the strong work and God bless these people.

Hello Dr. DeHeer.
I am an RN, CDE and I will be traveling to Milot, Haiti on January 7th, 2011 for one week. I have been asked to give a lecture to the nursing staff on foot care and I would love any insight you might have. I am trying to understand the culture of Haiti so I might be able to address the nurse's learning needs. I am aware of the terrible poverty and limited healthcare funding, but any pearls of wisdom would be appreciated. Thank you,
Rosa Matonti, RN, MSN, CNS, CDE

Isn't Cate Blanchett scared of tripping on those furry shoes while she's walking? Those things look diseased! I'm sure they were expensive as hell, but I could've fixed up some good ones for her using some Payless pumps, Elmer's glue and my freshly cut pubes! Yes, they are soft like that.
Here's Cate at the NYC screening of "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" last night.

Death of Judas
The death of Judas Iscariot in royalty free images in high resolution from our huge image library, free to use.
When Jesus called Judas to be an Apostle in Mark 3:19, He knew that Judas would ultimately betray Him, John 6:64. Judas was preoccupied with money, and being the keeper of the money-bag, would help himself to the money therein (John 12:6). We may not fully know by what reasoning Judas would betray Christ, but the bribe of thirty pieces of silver was enough for Judas to arrange for a private place for the arrest of Jesus. Matthew 26:14-16
Always Royalty free
Up to this time Judas Iscariot, although he had betrayed Jesus, did not believe that he would be put to death. Perhaps he thought that Jesus would save himself from death, as he had saved others, by some wonderful work. But when Judas saw Jesus bound and beaten, and doing nothing to protect himself, and when he heard the rulers vote that Jesus should be put to death, Judas knew how wicked was the deed that he had wrought.
Judas brought back the thirty pieces of silver that had been given to him as the reward for betraying his Lord, and he said, "I have sinned in betraying one who has done no wrong!"

Ashe County, N.C., native Dean Wallace Colvard (1913 - ) received a bachelor's degree from Berea College (Ky.) in 1935, a master's degree from the University of Missouri in 1938, and a Ph.D. from Purdue University in 1950. He was an instructor and farm manager at Brevard College (N.C.) from 1935 to 1937 and the general manager and coordinator of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture Mountain Experiment Stations from 1938 to 1946. He joined the North Carolina State College (now North Carolina State University) faculty as the head of the dairy husbandry section in 1947, and became the dean of agriculture in 1948. He remined in this position until 1960, when he left N.C. State to become the president of the University of Mississippi. He became the first chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 1967. After his retirement in 1978, Colvard helped develop the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. He is the author of Mixed Emotions (1985) and coauthor of Knowledge is Power (1987) and University Research Park (1988).

Canon EOS 1D X Review
Canon EOS 1D X - Verdict
What Canon has achieved with the EOS-1D X is remarkable and we have no hesitation in saying it's the best Canon DSLR we've ever used. The way it produces acceptable results even at ISO 12,800 and 25,600 is extremely impressive. We weren't hesitant at any stage to push above ISO 6400 by a stop or two for the fear of image noise severely degrading image quality in low light situations.
Then there's of course the speed at which it shoots and records, which sets a new benchmark for pro-spec DSLRs. The way in which the pair of DIGIC 5+ processors work together in the way they do to provide such blazing processing speeds is astonishing.
Canon has not only paid close attention to the features and performance, they've looked at the bigger picture and the finer details too. A good example of this is remodeled vertical grip to improve handling in the portrait orientation and even the neck strap features gold lettering and a high end feel.
Yes it's expensive and for most people other than the professionals it's aimed at, it's going to take a lot of justification to spend this amount of money.Many professional photographers will be fortunate enough to have one supplied to them from their agencies at no personal expense and for everyone else it's a camera that many will aspire to own.
We can happily say you're getting everything you could ever need with the Canon EOS-1D X. The old saying of good things come to those who wait certainly applies in regard to the EOS 1D X and a 93% score sees it pick up a Gold award.

USDA pledges to fight fraud in SNAP

Press Release from USDA: USDA Announces Latest Actions to Enhance SNAP Program Integrity as Strengthened Measures Help Fight Fraud in Nation's Most Critical Nutrition Assistance Program
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6, 2012 -- USDA Under Secretary Kevin Concannon today announced first quarter results for fiscal year 2012 in the effort to identify and eliminate fraudulent retailers from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). From October 1 through December 31, 2011, USDA staff took final actions to:
Sanction, through fines or temporary disqualifications, more than 225 stores found violating program rules; and
Permanently disqualify over 350 stores for trafficking in SNAP benefits (i.e. exchanging SNAP benefits for cash).
These enforcement actions are part of the Obama Administration's ongoing Campaign to Cut Waste and root out fraud and abuse in federal programs, including SNAP. While fraud is a relatively limited problem in SNAP -- the violating stores represent less than � of one percent of more than 230,000 food stores authorized to redeem benefits -- no level of fraud is tolerated. USDA's Food and Nutrition Service conducts ongoing surveillance and investigation, to find bad actors and remove them from the program. In fiscal year 2011, FNS reviewed over 15,000 stores, and permanently disqualified over 1,200 for program violations.
"I'm pleased to report today to American taxpayers the first quarter results of our anti-fraud efforts in 2012," said Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services Kevin Concannon. "Americans expect and deserve a government that ensures their hard-earned tax dollars are managed with accountability and integrity. We are committed to ensuring these dollars are spent as intended - helping millions of people in need through tough economic times until they can get back on their feet."
USDA is building upon strategies recently announced to further strengthen anti-fraud efforts in the retailer application process. To help reduce the number of disqualified stores that return to the program by falsifying information in their applications, USDA is announcing new measures to strengthen the program:
Increasing documentation required for high-risk stores applying to redeem SNAP benefits to better verify their identity and assure their business integrity. High-risk stores are those located at the site of a previous disqualification.
Verifying high-risk stores to confirm application information. High-risk stores are those located at the site of a previous disqualification. Store owners found to have falsified information with the intent to hide ownership or past violations will be charged, disqualified and may be liable for a $10,000 fine or imprisonment for as long as 5 years or both.
Continuing to notify state departments and federal agency partners about violators to better protect our public programs. This includes information on program recipients with suspicious transactions at stores known to be trafficking for further investigation by States.
In addition, USDA will soon publish a proposed rule strengthening sanctions and penalties for retailers who commit fraud in SNAP. USDA's new Fighting SNAP Fraud website (
) will also help raise awareness of the issues and provide a direct portal to report suspicious activities.
"Fraud is not a static concept -- we know that where there is a will to commit malfeasance, bad actors will try to find a way," said Concannon. "That's why USDA is constantly striving to stay ahead of the curve. The comparison I frequently make is in the area of cyber security. The need for continuously updating information security measures is frequently noted in the private sector, because hackers and other bad actors are always looking for ways to exploit systems."
"However, it is important not to demonize SNAP participants and retailers when referencing fraud because the vast majority of people participating in the program, both retailers and SNAP participants, abide by the rules. Our goal is to eliminate fraud and we will continue to crack down on individuals who violate the program and misuse taxpayer dollars," Concannon noted.
Concannon announced new anti-fraud activities in December. Today's announcement continues the USDA's commitment to promote integrity in SNAP, in order to assure the public's confidence in this critical nutrition assistance program that serves over 46 million low-income and working Americans.
USDA's Food and Nutrition Service administers 15 nutrition assistance programs that in addition to SNAP include the National School Lunch Programs, Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, and the Summer Food Service Program. Taken together, these programs serve as America's nutrition safety net.
Program fraud complaints of any kind may be filed with the USDA Office of Inspector General; contact information is found at:
. Fraud may also be reported to the appropriate States. Phone numbers are available at

Henrico's Top Teachers – Lynne Norris
Deep Run H.S., Center for Information Technology
Years spent in the corporate world convinced Lynne Norris that what she really wanted to do wasn't crunching numbers or clawing her way through middle management.
"I had said for a number of years that if I could do anything and money wasn't an object, I would go teach high school," she recalls.
Eventually, though, she dropped the financial condition.
"I quit my job, went to get my teacher certification and haven't looked back," she says.
The decision was an easy one for Norris, who is in her third year as department chair of Deep Run High School's Center for Information Technology, which draws students from throughout the county. As a parent of two teenage sons herself – and as someone who found motivation from her high school teachers – there was little question where Norris wanted to be.
Deep Run's program engages students in cutting-edge technology, helping to prepare them for college and careers in the field or as engineers, among other paths. The program counts 100 students among its ranks, and Norris says each one demonstrates skills and knowledge that impress her each day.
"I tell my students that in many ways they're much smarter than I am, because they grew up with this [technology] and I didn't. It's part of who they are – they just take off and run with it."
Norris requires each of her tenth-graders to become the class's "consultant of the week" once, a role that asks them to become an expert on a new technology topic, then teach the class about it.
"Some of the topics they come up with are just amazing," she says.
She also created a senior "Capstone" course that exposes students to four topics (information technology management, database design, network security or game design), during its first nine weeks, then allows them to choose one, study it in depth and write a research paper about the topic.
Norris fully involves herself not only in the center and her classes, but the students and the school community as a whole.
"Students enter her classroom eager to learn in a professional atmosphere where they are given up-to-date opportunities to discover, research and learn about the latest advancements in technology," a colleague wrote in a nomination letter. "She serves on several committees, always volunteers for tickets sales, attends school events, speaks before community groups about the center and mentors new teachers in the center. She is also the advisor to the Computer Club and mentors girls in information technology. She must have a cape somewhere in her wardrobe."
To Norris, her students make the job enjoyable and rewarding. They also keep her honest. "Being real with the students is really important, because they know when you're not," she says. "Putting it out there when I make a mistake, or if I don't know an answer, I think they respect that. And because of those things they trust me.
"I love these kids and I tell them that regularly. I don't have to care about these kids, but I really do. I care how they're doing in all of their other classes and activities. They're really willing to open up and do lots of things when they realize that people really do care."

The Boathouse to open at Short Pump Town Center
The Boathouse restaurant will open at Short Pump Town Center in the spring, its third location in the region.
"People have asked us to come to the West End for years," said owner Kevin Healy. "When the opportunity arose, we knew had to jump on it."
The new restaurant will be located in a 5,800-square-foot space under the Hyatt House Hotel at the town center and will include a large outdoor patio. > Read more.
Getting a 'mouf'-ful
Boka Kantina exceeds its strong food truck reputation
Already a fan of Boka fare from outdoor events with the Tako Truck, I was delighted to learn of the new restaurant, and eager to see if its reputation held up after putting down brick-and-mortar roots.
Would the food lose its zest if I wasn't enjoying it in the great outdoors? Would it seem pedestrian served from an ordinary kitchen instead of a truck?
Would the tacos be less satisfying as an antidote to normal lunch hunger – instead of being ingested to stave off desperate hunger after a long afternoon of crowds, sun, and tedious lines? > Read more.

To be honest I mainly got this stomp pad because it matches my board, although it actually works a lot better than I thought. I have been boarding long enough to where I do not really need a stomp pad, but it is like wearing a helmet, it helps just to have one.
The adhesive is actually really good, and the stomp pad as a whole is actually pretty decent. My foot has never slipped and it parts of it are indented, meaning that even though it looks like its all uniform and leveled there are spaces cut out. This is actually a good feature because I noticed that even if it gets covered in snow you still have something to actually stand on without your foot losing traction.

Shannan Click Is Red Hot
Shannan Click has long been a fan of the transformative haircut and color. The Southern California beauty has experimented with brunettes and auburns in seasons past, chopping a short fringe into her sunny flaxen locks if and when the mood should strike her. Following a series of summer editorials featuring the Victoria's Secret model as a bronzed and blonde beach goddess, the catwalker showed off her new Fall look last night at the Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto-sponsored Lawless premiere in New York. Bucking the seasonal trend for severe brunettes, Click has gone a shade of aubergine-tinged red, replete with a set of extra-short bangs. It's kind of extreme, but she's definitely keeping things interesting, don't you think?

The Artists Rifles: From Pre-Raphaelites to Passchendaele
- 5 July — 27 September 2014 *on now
A special touring exhibition, as part of Hampshire's Big Theme 1914 www.bigtheme.org.uk
At the outbreak of World War I, Paul Nash, a prominent artist, gave up painting and enlisted in the Artists Rifles, eventually fighting with the Hampshire Regiment. Inspired by his story, this exhibition introduces the Artists Rifles: a volunteer regiment founded in 1860 under the threat of French invasion. Its early membership was a who's who of the Victorian art world: Burne Jones, Rossetti, Millais, Leighton and Holman Hunt.
The Great War saw a new stream of creative people join its ranks: Frank Dobson, Wilfred Owen, Edward Thomas and John Nash who went 'over the top' with the regiment in 1917.
Follow a history of the regiment and its members through a selection of artworks from major national collections, including the Imperial War Museum, Leighton House Museum, National Portrait Gallery and the British Council Collection. Through their work, memorabilia and fascinating history, meet the Artists Rifles and learn their incredible untold story.
After Basingstoke, this exhibition will tour to Gosport (4 Oct - 27 Dec 2014)

do it in the rain? sounds like sour grapes/inferiority complex... with traction control and a good rider it would still be close.
the best car vs bike video is one on youtube by autotrend (CAR mag) in the US - a Ducati 1198S manages to savage a Ferrari 458 Italia by near 2 secs a lap on a twisty race track. In the defence of cars though, many riders just cant ride bikes fast around corners, while an average driver could corner pretty fast in a GTR.

"Cash you say? Does that taste good? I want some too!"Mr. Driller is a spin-off series to Namco's Dig Dug. First released in arcades in 1999 and on the PlayStation and Dreamcast in 2000, the game stars young Susumu Hori (the son of Dig Dug's protagonist Taizo Hori and Baraduke heroine Toby "Kissy" Masuyo) in a race to drill through multiple colored blocks as far as he can without running out of air or getting crushed. Falling blocks of the same color will meld together, and disappear if the resulting combination is more than four blocks long. Air capsules appear every so often, and must be picked up to ensure survival. There are other hazards, such as the aforementioned falling blocks, and "X" blocks which, if drilled, cover you in poisonous gas that takes away from your Oxygen Meter.The series combines elements of a fast-action arcade game and a puzzle game, due to the importance of watching how the blocks will fall as your character descends further into the earth.

Evaluation of the Gel Profile Control Agent Polyacrylamide in Enhanced Oil Recovery
Based on the system of anionic delayed cross-link polymer gel type deep profile control agent, experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of long-term thermal stability, shearing resistance, and compatibility with natural debris of profile control agent and compatibility with ASP compound system. Besides, experiments are completed to simulate core displacement profile controlling and evaluate effect of oil displacement. Formula of anionic delayed cross-link polymer gel profile control agent with ideal long-term stability is confirmed. Profile control effect referred to core with diverse permeability and influence law of different injection time and injection rate on effect of oil displacement. Following conclusions are made according to the research. Long-term thermal stability, shearing resistance, and compatibility with natural debris of profile control agent and compatibility of ASP compound system of anionic delayed cross-link polymer gel profile control agent all have good performance, as well as core plugging effect and resistance to erosion. Displacing effect varies with the profile control agent injecting time, which shows, injection before polymer displacing proves the best, injection during polymer displacing the second, and injection after polymer displacing the worst. At the same time, the value of enhanced oil recovery increases with the injection rate of profile control agent increasing, however, when the rate comes to the point of 0.1 pv, the increasing extent begins to slow down.

Hi all,
thought you might like to hear about this.
So the first issue of opm with a blu ray disk came out.
I was looking forward to getting this. I thought of all the great things that could be done with 25gig of space.
But no they screwed the pooch !
I was stunned to see that it only had 4 demos, probably totalling about 4.5 gig.
Where are the HD movie trailers, Game previews, slide shows of new screen shots.
And the demos where already on the psn.
oh well. back to the 360 until they bring some games out.
Still Blu ray movies are sweet.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - An Arizona man has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison in New Mexico in a drug trafficking case.
Prosecutors say 46-year-old Jesse Bruner, of Douglas, also was sentenced Tuesday to three years of supervised release.
Bruner and a co-defendant were arrested by U.S. Border Patrol agents in April 2011 in Hidalgo County, N.M.
Agents reported finding nearly 240 pounds of marijuana in a vehicle that had Bruner as a passenger.
Bruner was later charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
He pleaded guilty in October 2011 and has been in federal custody since his arrest.
The charges against the co-defendant - a 72-year-old woman from Kentucky - were dismissed. Authorities say they determined Bruner deceived and threatened the woman into participating in his drug-trafficking activities.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. At Degas House, we couldn't agree more. Naturally, we decided to celebrate the meal with our original "Breakfast and the Tour" special.
At Degas House, we are in no position to argue with the French Impressionist Master. In celebration of the soothing and blissful nature of amateur painting, the Degas House proudly presents our "Painting with Passion" program.
Educational field trips are offered to school groups at Degas House. Students will experience and understand the personal side of the great French Impressionist Master, Edgar Degas. Activities for 2nd - 12th grades available.
"Draw lines, young man, and still more lines, both from life and from memory, and you will become a good artist."

Justin Bieber has spent the past few weeks cryptically teasing his new single "Heartbreaker." First there was the Kanye West 808s-biting single artwork, and then he called Selena Gomez a heartbreaker. Today (July 15), we've got a small snippet of the song, care of his new perfume ad (The Key is Bieber's third fragrance, for you completists out there).
The quick offering provides us with a slinky beat and the Biebs cooing "Heartbreaker, heartbreaker," and it seems like it'll be a bedroom joint. As for when the single drops? "Soon," whatever that means.
Until then, this little commercial cut will have to do. Check it out up top.

Those involved in multilateral arms control and disarmament face a challenging year.
The international community will come together in May at the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty Review Conference in New York to agree the way forward, twelve months on from President Barack Obama's landmark speech in Prague about his ambition of a World Free of Nuclear Weapons.
But a successful outcome at the NPT RevCon as it is known, is only part of the task ahead in achieving a breakout from the decade of deadlock that has frustrated progress in both the nuclear and conventional weapons multilateral agenda:
In Geneva the Conference on Disarmament must renew its effort to begin negotiation of a Fissile Material Cut Off Treaty - a new treaty to ban the production of the basic material that goes into nuclear weapons and which, together with the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty still awaiting ratification in the U.S. senate, is one of the two key practical steps needed to a draw line under the nuclear arms race. No new production and no testing will give confidence that we really are on the path towards a nuclear weapon free world.

This might run a little long, but bear with me since I think this is important.
As the 90-minute interrogation proceeded, it became obvious to me that it would be morally inconsistent to end by asking for an acquittal, or any other "mercy" from the government. The logical conclusion of denying the legitimacy of the commission was to demand its worst. The point of civil disobedience is not to get off scot-free, but to willingly accept the punishments of an unjust system, to shame that system into reform.
Here's how I phrased it.

That's one story.

Is Photography Dead?
"We live in a culture dominated by pixels, increasingly unmoored from corpor-eal reality. Movies are stuffed with CGI and, in such "performance animation" films as "Beowulf," overwhelmed by them. Some big pop-music hits are so cyberized the singer might as well be telling you to press 1 if you know your party's exten-sion. Even sculpture has adopted digital "rapid prototyping" technology that allows whatever a programmer can imagine to be translated into 3-D objects in plastic. Why should photography be any different? Why shouldn't it give in to the digital temptation to make every landscape shot look like the most absolutely beautiful scenery in the whole history of the universe, or turn every urban view into a high-rise fantasy?"

The role of government in India's micro-finance industry
AbstractRecent events in India have brought a fresh focus upon the problem of regulation in the field of micro-finance. This paper delineates the three distinct aspects where government needs to play a role. The first is to protect the rights of the micro-borrower, the consumer of micro-financial services. The second is that of prudential oversight of risk-taking by firms operating in micro-finance, since this could have systemic implications. The third is a developmental role, emphasising scale-up of the micro-finance industry where the key issues are diversification of access to funds, innovations in distribution and product structure, and the use of new technologies such as credit bureaus, the UID and mobile-based payments. Each of these roles need to be placed in an existing or a new regulatory agency. There is a case for creating a new regulatory agency which unifies the consumer protection function across all financial products.

Siemens recognizes a need to broaden understanding of healthcare needs in Africa
02 May 2011
GENEVA - As an established market leader Siemens recognizes the urgent need to improve the medical care of women and children in the developing countries. In order to maximize the impact of company's contribution in achieving the UN Millennium Development Goals, Siemens is committed to work with partners to deepen understanding of concrete needs in countries in support of the UN Secretary General's Global Strategy on Women's and Children's Health.
To kick off this process, in collaboration with the Global Strategy's Innovation Working Group (IWG), the Partnership for Maternal and Children's Health (PMNCH) and the World Vision International (WVI), a workshop meeting took place during the 2011 World Health Assembly in Geneva.
In this workshop, representatives from African governments, WVI, Blue Ribbon Alliance, PMNCH, WHO and the UN Foundation , discussed suitable ways to improve access to healthcare for women and children in developing countries and the deriving diagnostic needs. Specific examples in Uganda, Mozambique and Somaliland were shared. Based on these discussions, the workshop participants explored new ways how Siemens in partnerships with other stakeholders can contribute to developing solutions. Sustainable business models which address public health needs have to be developed for most impact
Beyond the pure provision of technology, especially the reliability of service and customer specific training have been identified as key success factors, which can be addressed by Siemens in collaboration with partners. Another essential requirement is changes in procurement processes. In African countries, prices of medical equipment and devices are higher than they are in Europe, products do not get to where they are needed and have smaller margins for manufacturers. The procurement of larger quantities of medical devices to supply whole regions combined with long term maintenance and training contracts would provide major advantages, economies of scale in maintenance and training being just one example. Siemens is willing to pass on these cost advantages to the countries. However, procurement of individual products is still predominant. In order to decrease prices, moving towards larger and more all-inclusive tenders will be crucial.
Various innovations were discussed: product development innovation for low income settings (e.g. battery or solar run devices like portable ultrasound), improved access to point-of care diagnostics including rapid tests, procurement policies, speeding up development of specifications and harmonization of regulations, use of mobile phones linked to devices, and others.
Based on these discussions, partners have began a process to sharpen the role Siemens can play in providing comprehensive solutions to improve women's and children's lives. The initiated process will enable Siemens to support better care, utilize available resources as efficiently as possible, develop public-private partnerships and maximize its contribution to achieve the MDGs. Partners agreed that multistakeholder dialogue is essential and targeted workshops need to continue to shape feasible solutions to support the implementation of the Global Strategy for Women's and Children's lives.

South Dakota biologists are proposing to increase the walleye limit on Lake Oahe next year.
Under the proposal for 2013, the daily walleye limit for the lake would be doubled. Anglers could take eight walleyes per day, four of which could be 15 inches or longer. The possession limit would be raised to 24.
The proposal also would eliminate the rule allowing anglers to keep only one walleye over 20 inches.
Biologists say the proposal is in response to a large number of 10- to 15-inch fish and low food resources since the 2011 Missouri River flood.
Some guides say they don't like the idea of anglers being able to keep more large fish, because it could hurt the lake's ability to produce trophy fish.

Halo: Reach review
Everyone loves Halo, right? It may be the most popular science-fiction first-person shooter of the past decade, but that doesn't mean everyone is on the bandwagon to call each and every release in the Microsoft-published franchise the next coming. Many detractors have labeled the series as running itself into a rut with the same ole', same ole'. Cynics picked apart Halo Wars - the only... Read More
