Fed Gov. Raskin: Wealth, Income Distribution a Subject Ripe for Deeper Research
Because of the Great Recession's punishing effects on lower- and middle-income households, and given the role that income and wealth inequality might have played in the financial crisis, macroeconomists should more deeply explore wealth and income distribution, Federal Reserve Governor Sarah Bloom Raskin said in an April 18 speech in New York.
"Traditionally, the distribution of wealth and income has not been a primary consideration in the way most macroeconomists think about business cycles," Raskin said at the Hyman P. Minsky Conference on the State of the U.S. and World Economies. "But if inequality played a role in the financial crisis, if it contributed to the severity of the recession, and if its effects create a lingering economic headwind today, then perhaps our thinking, and our macroeconomic models, should be adjusted."
The Great Recession hit low- and middle-income Americans hardest mainly because most of their wealth is tied up in a house, and house values plummeted during the 2007–09 downturn, Raskin said. Moreover, lower- and middle-income individuals and households were more likely to suffer an economic shock such as losing a job. When they experienced a shock, they had less financial cushion than higher-income households to withstand the shock, she remarked.
Contributing to the conversation
She noted that widening income and wealth inequality has been a notable structural change in the U.S. economy since the late 1970s. Between 1979 and 2007, inflation-adjusted, pretax income for a household in the top 1 percent of earners more than doubled, while income for a household in the middle of the income distribution climbed less than 20 percent, according to the Congressional Budget Office. This change, she said, is a "dramatic departure" from three prior decades of broadly rising incomes and shared prosperity.

Officials say Joan Marie Novak was in violation of her bond when she drove her truck the wrong way on a highway and hit several Whitehouse Independent School District vehicles late Saturday night.
The accident happened around 10:30 p.m. on Highway 59 in Wharton, TX. About 25 Whitehouse High School students and several teachers were on their way home from a contest in Houston when a Toyota pick-up truck driving the wrong way hit one of their cars head-on. Whitehouse teacher Holly Mann and two other students, Jacob Smith and Jennifer Aragon, were taken by care-flight to a Houston hospital. All suffered multiple injuries but are expected to survive, officials say.
Wharton County District Attorney Ross Kurtz told KLTV that Novak has a previous DWI arrest from 2012. As part of her bond, she is required to have an interlocked device on her car, similar to a Breathalyzer, which would not allow her to drive if she was intoxicated. He says Novak was in violation of this requirement at the time of the accident.
Kurtz said his office is prosecuting Novak for the 2012 offense because it is believed that she has a prior DWI conviction from approximately 13 years ago. Kurtz also said that Novak was prosecuted in 2008 in Wharton County for DWI; that case was pleaded instead to deadly conduct.
Officials say Novak did consent to a blood test while at the hospital the night of the wreck involving the Whitehouse students and teacher.
Results from that blood test could take several weeks to get back. Kurtz says Novak will face charges for the violation. He added this incident is being investigated as a DWI.

Gut underlines Olympic super-G ambitions
Switzerland's Lara Gut competes in the FIS Ski World Cup Ladies' Downhill in Cortina d'Ampezzo on January 25, 2014 - by Pierre Teyssot
The 22-year-old, a super-G winner at Beaver Creek and Lake Louise in December, put behind her a series of disappointing results lately to clock a winning time of 1min 27.81sec on the Olympia delle Tofane course.
"It is a good feeling to win today," said Gut, who disappointed with a 19th place in Thursday's super-G before bouncing back with a fourth place and then 10th place in two consecutive downhills Friday and Saturday.
"I started the season so strong with four podiums in the early races, but then the tour came back to Europe and I never got to see the podium again."
Liechtenstein's Tina Weirather was second at 0.12secs with Germany's Maria Hoefl-Riesch extending her overall World Cup lead by finishing third at 0.61 to claim her third podium place in four days of racing in the Italian Dolomites.
Gut's win, meanwhile, reinforced her lead in the super-G standings -- she now leads Tina Weirather by 38 points -- and pushed her up to fourth place overall at the expense of Slovenian Tina Maze, who dropped to fifth.
Gut, on 796 points, has little chance of catching Hoefl-Riesch (1071), who leads Weirather by 128 points, but the Swiss admitted her first win since the start of December had come at the right time.
"It was a difficult time, I could see success in my mind, but you couldn't see it on the slopes. Now today, this win, it was very important for me."
In near perfect racing conditions Verena Stuffer raised home hopes of a first ever World Cup podium place when she clocked the fastest provisional time with bib number three.
However the Italian eventually finished fourth when Hoefl-Riesch, who recovered from a major mistake on a right turn near the bottom of the course, finished seven hundredths of a second faster.
Slovenian Tina Maze was also in the mix, the defending World Cup champion following up her maiden win of the season in Saturday's downhill with a promising fifth place at 0.72.
Elisabeth Goergl, meanwhile, was the top Austrian in sixth place but at 0.82 behind Gut, while American Julia Mancuso continued her struggle for form less than three weeks before the Sochi Games.
Mancuso, a double silver medal winner in the super-combined and downhill at the Vancouver Games in 2010, finished in 15th place at 1.91 behind Gut.

Even though some players don't raid, for about 60-70% of players raiding is the end game.
Blizzard did several things at once in Cata. They changed healing and tanking mechanics, that drove away many players from those roles. If you are lucky to be in one of the top 5 guilds on your server you probably didn't noticed the lack of tanks and healers as much since your guild had a strong draw for recruiting due to progression and reputation. For all other guilds it was painfully obvious that these roles were in short supply and raids were hard to put together for lack of these roles and guilds fought over players in these roles.
If a guild was a car engine, this was like dropping a handful of sand into it.
Another change was adding healer mana as a type of second soft enrage for all raids, now not only was DPS before the enrage timer a factor, but now so was healer mana.
And finally, the player coordination factor of raids were increased. Most had some gimmick that required almost everybody to do it almost perfectly or the raid wiped. This seems to have been implemented as AOE damage penalty in most cases. Everybody does not move out of the flame pillar on magmaw, or everybody does not switch dps on ODS to prevent shield breakage...
To raid you not only needed mostly competent players, now you pretty much needed all of the players to be competent, just one slow, laggy, or 'sandwich eater' as we used to call them in MC days, and the raid wipes.
And finally the gearing up for raid grind was possibly the worse it has ever been, if you actually wanted to get all the gear from heroic 5 mans that you could before raiding it was 6-12 weeks of grinding for badges depending on how much gear you wanted vs. how grind you could stand.
What was the result of all this, well for blizzard it meant that players would take longer to complete content, good for them, less work for the same amount of money coming in.
For players, raiding was much less fun all-in-all than it has ever been. Sure some guilds cleared content, a very small percentage of guilds. Many players, those healers and those tanks who didn't like the new mechanics, the 'sandwich eaters' who now wiped the raid, the people who were forced to sit on the raiding bench for lack of healers or tanks to form raids with, all of them were losers in this expansion.

i weight 240 lbs and have never been happier.
these are lighter than the flow. the bead sits in deeper and more secure than the flow. havent had a pinch flat once for over 40 hours of riding and pair with 4 different tires.
stiff enough for me to take it across large rocks and roots at 35km/h clocked with my gps with lots of small drops and high speed braking corners for 3 continuous rides and nothing bad came out of it. paired with a hope pro 2 evo 142 x 12 and a hope 20mm front and sapim laser spokes, brass nipples, total pair weight was 1.75kg with rim tape. these rims rock and like the previous reviewer, its a great product and hopefully only greater products can succeed it. technology sure makes such good rims viable and cost effective these days. they are awesome stuff and i do highly recommend it against the flows. its cheaper, lighter and i reckon stronger and can be pulled to higher tensions. the graphics are simple and nice but wish they had white rims. WTB, where did u out this rim from. its amazing!

Strengths: stiff, durable, tubeless ready, brand reputation, price.
Weaknesses: Nothing to report as of yet.
Bottom Line:
There aren't too many options for a 23mm inner width tubeless ready rim and I really, really wanted a 23mm rim. I read a number of individuals complaining about how soft Stan's hoops were and Mavic's offering, while bombproof, weighed only slightly less than a two-handed broadsword. There were extremely few reviews of the i23 so I figured I would be doing the MTB community a service by trying a new-to-the-market product. Plus, I had a lot of faith in WTB. Worse comes to worse, I can trash the rims and build the hubs up with something with a better history.
I've had total of 4 rides on them so far. Three of those rides were in Fruita and the last ride was at Buffalo Creek in Colorado.
-The first thing I thought when I hit the trail was how stiff these rims are. I feel almost no flex and it inspires me to push a little harder in the corners. I felt very connected to the trail.
-I'm pretty rough on my stuff. It was pretty important the rims stay true throughout a ride. After a lot of rock gardens, a couple drops, and countless poorly picked lines, they still hold straight and true (a bit redundant?). It's important to note that one drop sent me over bars and somersaulted the bike with me. Were I too rate the durability only on these rims they would definitely receive 5 Chilis. Look forward to putting these rims through more geological warfare.
-Weight is simply a numbers game. Universal Cycles lists these rims as ~200 gr lighter per rim than Mavic EX823s. That is quite a bit of gramage to shave off of rolling stock. It also ever so slightly helps lofting the front over those larger trail obstacles.
-Unfortunately, due to a number of variables out of my control, I had a shop put on both tires while they checked initial spoke tension. This means I can't personally comment on how well the tires go on. The tech said the tires went on easy and sealed up immediately using a compressor. I can, however, say that the rim/tire interface has provided an awesome seal. I have not experienced a single burp since riding these rims. Tire choice does play a role in this aspect, so, to be fair, I may just be exceedingly lucky by having the two perfect tires for these rims.
Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase. I feel confident that they'll last and remain stiff for the next couple years. Putting them through the paces of Fruita and coming out unscathed definitely boosts my opinion of them. If you want your stuff to be tough and durable then have a look. They cost about 40 dollars less than Mavic's renowned EX823s and, at this point, perform on par, if not better than the Mavics.
Extra herps thrown in for derps.

NO MORE JAVA?????? Java powers every applet on the web!!! This is a huge disappointment, I hope you will be able to get Java off the Internet or on a different browser.
Btw, nice article, Paul. This is very interesting stuff. Good work!
wow you really did your research nice article
Well my Macbooks heats up every time i try to load a Java or a flash web contenet, especially games etc...
Java is installed as a System Update after the install of the Preview it's just not included out of the box - however all my Java based app's run as expected in Lion
Plus Apple has a Disk Image posted online for people testing 10.7
The first time you try to run a JAVA Web App the OS prompts you to download the following.
hope they keep java running because my fav app Minecraft is powered by Java
If you recall, Apple announced that they would no longer be preinstalling and supporting Java on mac and will be leaving that up to Oracle. It will be better for users in the end.
Java installs as a system update the moment you try to run something that needs it. No need for panic here. It's all good.
Oracle Buys Sun
Java is a lot harder to do without than Flash is. You'll be able to use it, I'm sure.
What the hell are Apple thinking. Even Xcode won't start on Lion without the Java Runtime installed.
Apple locked power PC out with Leopard. 10.4 was the latest OS you could put on power PC unless you did a magical dance with a little top hat and entered a wad of code through terminal to make the Leo disk load. 10.6 would not load at all under ANY circumstance so even if you want to say 10.5 was loadable under special condition, 10.6 was not at all. Power PC was dead at 10.5
Paul mentioned that at the bottom of the article. He was just saying powerpc applications won't be supported anymore either.
Good article. I am running Lion beta and have installed java. No problems in fact it runs cooler than the preinstalled on SL.
I thought PowerPC died in Mac OS X 10.5. I guess it must be the support that was living.
And why is this news in the iPhone News section?

He even got to go to a semi-pro football game here in Ft. Worth on Sunday where one of his friends plays. He had such a great time, so glad to get out of the nursing/rehab facility for a few hours and he said he felt like he was back in high school.
Ahhh, please surround him with your loving healing energies, lifting him up to his highest good.
I have another request concerning my employer and friend, Carroll. She just learned from an MRI that she has a spot on her lung. She will be going to see a specialist on Friday. I told her that we would get our prayer circles going for her. She agreed and is receptive to healing energies.
So, I am asking for a double dose of your wonderful energies coming our way. I know that we have all witnessed many miracles here and know that there are a lot more to come.
Thanking you all for your continued loving healing energies.

North America is a dynamic migration region, with the United States home to more immigrants than any other country in the world, the Mexico-U.S. corridor the globe's top migration corridor, and Canada a leading destination for migrants. Research collected here focuses on everything from visa policy and border management to immigrant integration, national identity, the demographics of immigrants in the region and their educational and workforce outcomes, and ways to more effectively use migration policy as a lever for national and regional competitiveness.
Central American migrants have long hopped freight trains known as "La Bestia," or the beast, to get through Mexico en route to the United States. While Mexico has been accused of turning a blind eye to this traffic, U.S. outcry over the surge of unaccompanied child migrants has drawn new attention to the use of the trains. This article highlights the journey aboard the trains, the dangers faced by migrants, and responses by the Mexican government and others.
Find relevant MPI resources on the child migration crisis—from research, articles, and public briefings that analyze the trends and policy developments surrounding the recent uptick in migration of unaccompanied minors to data on Central American immigrant populations and country profiles of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—all in one place. Click here.
The U.S. immigrant population—estimated at 40.8 million in 2012 — is the nation's historical numerical high, and it is also the largest foreign-born population in the world. About 20 percent of all international migrants reside in the United States, even as the country accounts for less than 5 percent of global population. This article presents the latest, most sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—by origin, residence, legal status, deportations, languages spoken, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
Of the 14.8 million union members in 2010, 12 percent were foreign born. MPI's Jeanne Batalova examines the data on immigrant participation in the U.S. labor force and unions.
Canada has long been a country of net immigration and has designed its current immigration policy around attracting highly educated and skilled migrants for entry into its labor force. In this country profile, Ashley Challinor discusses the challenges associated with this approach and provides a sense of the actual scale and nature of migration into Canada.
Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on the immigration measures enacted in response to 9/11 and the fate of those measures ten years later.
In 2010, the United States granted humanitarian protection to nearly 95,000 immigrants, including some 73,000 refugees and 21,000 asylum seekers. MPI's Monica Li and Jeanne Batalova take a detailed look at the most recent refugee and asylum data in the United States.
MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on the U.S. Justice Department's lawsuit against Alabama's new immigration enforcement law, policy changes in the Secure Communities program, and more.
This final report summarizes and reflects upon the key findings of the Improving EU and U.S. Immigration Systems: Learning from Experience comparative research project undertaken by MPI and the European University Institute through a grant from the European Commission.
In this webinar, experts discuss barriers immigrant and LEP individuals face in accessing the WIA system, how a revitalized WIA could address these barriers, and the extent to which the current Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee's WIA reauthorization proposal addresses these barriers.
The impact of climate change as a driver of human migration is expected by many to dwarf all others. Still, certain frequently repeated forecasts of the number of people who stand to be displaced by climate change are not informed by a complete understanding of migration dynamics, as this report explains.
This edited volume rigorously assesses the 1996 U.S. welfare reform law, questions whether its immigrant provisions were ever really necessary, and examines its impact on legal immigrants' ability to integrate into American society.
With the ten year anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks approaching, the Migration Policy Institute held a conference call to discuss the most significant changes that have occurred in the immigration arena in the decade since the attacks.

I just read a post on FB written by the friend of a friend. He's a 21-year old guy. I'm a 44-year old woman, just to give it some perspective. His is a bible-thumper (I'm not friends with him on FB, he just posted on a friend of mines wall, but I know him and his family through mutual friends). He said if a woman doesn't want to get pregnant, she shouldn't have sex. I know I should just let it go, but I let him have it. So the only reason to have sex is to get pregnant? Then he said something about if she gets pregnant she has no right to 'kill the kid'. I mentioned rape and incest and the fact that not everyone believes a fertilized egg is a 'kid' yet, and if he doesn't believe in the right to have an abortion, don't have one, and it's a personal decision,etc. I KNOW I shouldn't have argued with him. But it's 4 a.m., I can't sleep, and now I let myself get pissed-off by someone I know is a fundie. Ugh. lol. I will ignore the post if he posts again. There are too many of them to piss me off. I'd have a coronary if I let them all get to me...

Let men bear the babies for a few years - then we'd see a change in legislature....
That's for sure Chris!
I once heard a woman say that if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament. That's probably right.
Here Here!!
Why any man thinks they have any right to impose their view on women's reproductive rights, pisses me off!
I agree Mac! :)~ Melinda
I couldn't agree more.
A lady on Bill Maher last night (excuse me, I can't remember her name) said "Fine, if that is the way you want it, us women will only give out sex when we want a baby and at no other times. Let's see how long the guys last".
It isn't as though it is just women that want to have sex for fun, guys want it too and in some cases more than we do! (actually, in most cases lol). If we were to close our legs at all times other than for procreation, guys would be going nuts everywhere. Just remember, every sperm is sacred, so when you jack off, you are killing innocent children.
I was told by a fundie yesterday that if it wasn't for religion, we wouldn't be able to read as it was the church that started schools and helped everyone learn to read and I should read Harvard's motto and research it's history to prove it!!!!!!. I don't know what Harvard's motto is and the fact that it is written by man (like the bible) seems to make no difference, and I doubt that reading a school motto will change my religious views. There are no answers for these people, and there is no reasoning.
You are right Sandi, you can't get them to use reason.
I think that if it wasn't for religion, people might have learned to read sooner, or more people might have learned to read. Religion controlled who got to learn, who could afford access to information, and what misinformation was being dispatched to the common people. By opening the first schools, they also controlled what was being learned, and by whom. It also meant that when the religious moved into areas, and took over, they could change cultures, and get rid of things that were important to the people who were already there, for the sake of indoctrinating the "ignorant" and "saving" them.
I think the history of literacy is more complex than that, and depends on the religion. Sacred texts/artifacts/charms have always been restricted as to who my see them, but the ability to read non-sacred writing was not. On the other hand, there is no doubt that the early xian's ruling elite were against teaching reading to the "unwashed masses", and until more recently actively suppressed literacy of the 'lower classes".
You could be right, Mac. I must admit I am not as familiar with all of that I as I should have been before saying what I did. I will, now, have to do more research into it...Glad to have something else to go learn.

Public entities in Webster Parish know the importance of school safety, which is why School Resource Officers (SRO) can be seen on campuses throughout the public school system.
According to Webster Parish School officials, the City of Minden and Town of Springhill are paid $1,500 a month for their contributions in providing school resource officers.
Although the Webster Parish Sheriff's Office said it does not receive financial support, it also supplies a School Resource Officer to the school system.
"Our resource officer tries to get around to as many schools as he can," said Bobby Igo Jr., Chief Deputy of the Webster Parish Sheriff's Office.
"He mostly serves Central, Doyline, Lakeside and the schools on the northern end of the parish, outside the Springhill city limits.
"If schools have a problem with discipline, there is a theft, someone does something out of character or we hear a student is threatening or is fighting, we respond," Igo continued. "Our SRO has a lot of ground to cover and he is just one individual, so he is extremely busy."
Despite having only one dedicated SRO, Igo said deputies are not confined to the roads they patrol.
"Our deputies patrol 24/7 and they are also available to go to schools," he said. "They may not be considered Resource Officers but we try to have deputies in every area of the parish so they can quickly respond to things that happen, including at schools."
Igo said deputies have to be ready and prepared at all times.
"You have to suspect the worst and hope it never happens," he said. "The majority of our deputies have children or grandchildren, and they know how important it is to protect our youth. They should be able to go to school safely."
Igo commended school officials for providing a safe learning environment.
"We are fortunate in Webster Parish to have the kind of teachers and school system that we have," he said. "They are hands-on principals and know what is going on in their schools to the best of their ability, and that helps. They notify us if there is a problem, and we try to respond as quickly as we can because these situations with our children are volatile. We want to be there for them. They are looking for red flags 24/7. They don't go to school with blinders on."
Igo said he can see both sides of the 'guns in schools' debate.
"There are two sides of that battle either way you go," he said. "It does concern me that we put weapons on the premises. But I also understand the need to want to protect yourself."
Igo hopes, if legislation passes, that it is drafted in a way that ensures weapons are placed so they are unobtainable by anyone other than the individual responsible for using them.
"That is something that would have to be looked at on an individual basis and at each school," he said, "A lot of people get hurt with their own weapons; innocent people get hurt during accidents with firearms."
The importance
of training
Igo and Minden Police Chief Steve Cropper are in agreement when it comes to properly training anyone who may be allowed to use a firearm, in the event legislation passes.
"I've spoken with high school administrators and several of them said they would never consider that," Cropper said. "A school teacher that would not feel comfortable being in possession or having access to a firearm at school does not need to have that responsibility. But I think if there was someone, they should be trained and willing to go through a process of learning how to handle that responsibility."
Cropper can see potential issues with securing firearms on campus.
"It would have to be secured in such a way that the only person who could access it was trained and knew what to do with it," he said. "Another scenario that throws a red flag is, in an incident of a school shooting, we don't know who the shooter is.
"What happens if we get to the campus and that teacher that was trained and had access to a firearm, is not recognized by law enforcement," Cropper continued. "If that ever came to pass there would have to be something done so the person with the responsibility of a firearm on campus was identifiable to all responding agencies – maybe a vest, so the trained school personnel would not be mistaken."
Currently, Minden Police Department has one full time SRO that is shared among schools in Minden.
"Our SRO stays as busy as any officer," Cropper said. "There is always something going on."
Cropper said an incident occurred a few weeks ago, where the SRO was in the right place at the right time.
"A set of parents and relatives came up to a school to confront a child," Cropper said. "The officer was able to see them as they came in a side door and stop them and ask them what they were doing. Come to find out they were there to confront a child at the high school."
Cropper said incidents such as the one he described do not happen often, and the SRO's presence on campus does deter and help with friction between students.
"There is always something going on," he said. "In my opinion, there ought to be a police officer at every school. I know funding is an issue, but it would be a tremendous help."
Springhill SROs
are needed
Will Lynd, chief of Springhill Police Department, shares Croppers views on SROs.
"The school system in north Webster Parish would be lost without them (SROs)," he said. "I hope it is something the school board can and does continue to fund."
Springhill Police Department has one full-time SRO that serves Brown Elementary, Browning Elementary and North Webster High School.
"Our SRO stays extremely busy," Lynd said. " He is a great asset to the schools. You can ask any principal or teacher up here and they will tell you the same thing. He takes care of business."
Lynd said all cases – from narcotics in schools to fighting – are handled by the SRO.
"He handles all sorts of cases, just like everything a police officer normally handles if he is patrolling," Lynd said. "Few people realize the different roles police officers play. We wear a lot of hats – marriage and family counselors, a shoulder to cry on, sometimes we have to be a parental figure and tell someone they are doing wrong."
Lynd said the partnership between the school board and Town of Springhill is vital to providing a SRO to Springhill schools.
"If we didn't have the funding from the school board, I couldn't afford to continue to give this service to the citizens in Springhill," he said. "It is a hard economical time, and without that support funding it wouldn't be affordable, even though SROs are needed."
Lynd knows the importance of cooperation between public entities.
"We are part of an agreement between Springhill Police Department, Webster Parish Sheriff's Office, and Columbia County Sheriff's Office," Lynd explained. "In the case of an emergency or an active school shooting or other type of violent act, it is closer for us to respond to Taylor, Arkansas than it would be for Columbia County deputies," Lynd said. "They will respond; however, we are able to get to Taylor quicker. The end goal is saving lives in that type of scenario, and we are happy to partner with them, because we can arrive on scene faster than they normally can. Hopefully, this plan will never need to be implemented."
Lynd said scenarios like the Sandy Hook school shooting are always on the minds of local law enforcement.
"The week before the Sandy Hook shooting, we had the FBI come in, and we were doing active shooter training," he said. "The next week, Sandy Hook happened. We are all the time planning for worst-case scenarios."
Lynd said he can see pros and cons of allowing trained personnel to have a firearm on campus.
"If the legislation passes, it is very important they be careful with who is selected," he said.

521 B-B-Q & Grill - Indian Land, SC
Posted by
Michael Stern
Wednesday, October 1, 2014 9:16 AM
An inconspicuous storefront in a commercial strip by the side of the two-lane, 521 B-B-Q & Grill is a conspicuously worthy barbecue destination. Not that there's anything wrong with the menu's extra-thick fried bologna sandwich, but it would be a crime to come here and not eat chopped pork and/or ribs. The former – Boston butt that is slow-smoked for 14 hours – becomes rough-hewn hash that is served sauceless. Please, savor some unadorned forkfuls for full appreciation of the refined synergy of swine and smoke. But then, bring on the sauce. Two kinds are arrayed in squeeze bottles on every table (next to the roll of paper towels): a thin, pepper-powered vinegar dressing that adds an exclamation mark to the flavor, and a thicker, sweeter and extremely tangy tomato sauce. Both are winners.
The ribs are just about the meatiest baby backs we've ever run across. Huge amounts of juice-sopped meat slide off the bone at the slightest provocation. Like the pork butts, the ribs are slow-smoked so the woodsy flavor of the pit completely insinuates itself into every fiber of the meat. Then they are painted with some of that tangy sauce and grilled until the sauce begins to caramelize. The glaze hugs the pork; and those two tastes together define the joy of ribs.
We haven't yet mentioned what some people consider to be the very best thing on the menu, included on every plate or tray of barbecue: hushpuppies. Irregularly shaped with dark, red-gold skin that offers both crunch and chew, their interiors are moist and sweet-corn sweet, laced with perfumy onion. Nor are the baked beans to be ignored. They fairly vibrate with barbecue zest.
And finally, we need to mention the staff: a corps of waitresses who are as much fun as they are efficient, eagerly replacing a couple of hushpuppies that accidentally tumbled into the baked beans and lost a touch of their crispness and taking great joy when a customer is caught licking every bit of sauce off his fingers. In short: if you like barbecue, put 521 on any short list of must-visits in the Carolinas.

Archibald's Bar-B-Q - Northport, AL

Don't worry if you get lost looking for Archibald's Bar-B-Q in Northport, AL. If you are anywhere nearby, just roll down your window and follow the powerful aroma of smoke and barbecuing meat. In no time at all, you will be pulling into their driveway. This is one restaurant you will smell long before you actually see it.
The building itself is, shall we say, charmingly rustic. The painted white exterior is covered in black smoke stains. But, considering this is a barbecue parlor, the looks of the place hardly matter. What does matter is the pile of hickory wood out back, the constant pouring of smoke out the chimney and that intoxicating smell. The inside is tiny and immaculately clean, with four stools at the counter. Most customers get their 'que to take home or eat at one of the outside picnic tables. I recommend eating inside, where you get a view into the impressive pit, with rows of racks of ribs cooking over flames.
The menu consists of nothing more than ribs (you can order a whole slab, a large plate or a small plate) and the pork barbecue sandwich. The ribs are long, meaty with serious smoky flavor and just the right amount of chew. The pork on the sandwiches comes in thick, tender slices. Both are greatly augmented by the addictive barbecue sauce. It is more vinegar than tomato, with enough kick to leave your lips tingling. There are no sides, just bags of chips.
Archibald's started in 1962 and is now in the hands of second generation owner George Archibald, Jr. The service here is quick and friendly. One note of warning: if you are making a special trip, call ahead to make sure that they have what you want. On my most recent visit, they were out of ribs and wouldn't have more for another hour. After all, you don't rush great barbecue!

Country Dove Tea Room - Elk City, OK

Sunday, September 28, 2014 6:11 AM
Oklahoma's best-known foods are beef, burgers, barbecue, and catfish – all of them rugged and bold. But if you travel west to Elk City, you will find the Country Dove Tea Room and a completely different kind of meal: ladies lunch. It is served in a charming little place that is, in fact, a 1920s country home, where meals share the spotlight with an inventory of country décor and crafts and a large selection of Christian books for sale.
Gentle food, served with grace and good manners: creamed soups accompanied by heart-shaped muffins and honey butter; little squares of Jell-O here known as "Jell-O salad," positioned on a lettuce leaf. The house specialty is chicken-avocado salad, which is the two elements pulverized together with mayonnaise and served on either a croissant or grilled wheat bun. The day's special when we stopped in was "Mexican Fiesta" – a mild-mannered casserole with a south-of-the-border twist.
It is such a nice, polite, repertoire of dishes … until you get to dessert and French silk pie, which is a powerhouse: lasciviously chocolaty, smooth, dense, topped with a frothy ribbon of whipped cream and mounted on a plush nut crust. Alternative desserts include almond pound cake with lemon curd sauce and New York cheesecake.
Proprietors Glenna Hollis and Kay Farmer originally opened for business some 30 years ago, but not as a restaurant. Country Dove was strictly retail country décor. But business was slow; and one day a woman passing through said to them, "You girls need to put in a tea room." She advised, "Do not use iceberg lettuce" and provided the recipe for raisin bran muffins and the chicken-avocado salad. Kay had some experience in food service, having been a soda jerk at her father's lunch counter, and the recipe for the awe-inspiring French silk pie was provided by her mother. Now that old Route 66 is such a tourist attraction and Elk City has become a destination for its grand-scale National Route 66 Museum, the little restaurant attracts tourists from all over the country and the world.

LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. (AP) -- A wildfire threatening 250 homes in Riverside County was 20 percent contained on Tuesday but it didn't grow much overnight, authorities said.
The blaze that erupted Monday near Lake Elsinore had blackened 1,416 acres, or more than 2 square miles, fire spokesman Marc Peebles told The Press-Enterprise.
It continued to threaten homes in the communities of Decker Canyon and Lakeland Village, west of the lake, although evacuation orders for the village were lifted on Monday.
"Residents need to keep their heads up" in case the fire flares up, state fire spokeswoman Julie Hutchinson told KNX-AM.
Governor Jerry Brown announced Tuesday that the state has secured a federal fire management grant to help local, state and tribal agencies with the cost of the fire.
The blaze burned a barn and damaged another outbuilding after erupting on Monday in Cleveland National Forest, about 70 miles southeast of Los Angeles. The cause was unknown. It sent hazy smoke and a drizzle of ash over nearby communities.
Hundreds of firefighters fought the blaze with the aid of aircraft, including a giant DC-10.
Televised news reports showed fire trucks on a road flanked on both sides by spot fires and walls of flame.
Firefighters reported only a few minor injuries. The fire has destroyed two outbuildings.
LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. (AP) -- A brush fire burning near Lake Elsinore in the Cleveland National Forest has scorched hundreds of acres and forced the evacuation of homes.
The U.S. Forest Service says about 150 firefighters were battling the nearly 800-acre blaze, which was reported just after 10 a.m. Monday. Some residents could see flames cresting a hill and creeping toward their homes.
Mandatory evacuations are in place for the Decker Canyon, Rancho Capistrano and Lakeland Village residential areas. It isn't clear how many homes were affected.
Highway 74 is closed down in both directions as flames inch closer to the road and an evacuation center has been set up at Lakeside High School in Lake Elsinore.
Forest officials said the fire is zero percent contained as of 4:45 p.m. No injuries have been reported.

Signs It's Time To Go Back To School
Is it time for you to go back to school? Check out these five signs to help you decide.
The New Year is a great time to look for signs that could help make your future brighter. Maybe you want a promotion, more money, or even a new career. For many people, these signs might point toward going back to school.
"The most important thing is to make sure that you're doing it with a purpose in mind," says Curt Rosengren, a career coach and author of "The Occupational Adventure Guide." "If you've identified that purpose and school will help you get there, fabulous."
The point, he says, is to take positive steps sooner rather than later. And remember that it might take some time for the actual change to take place.
Here are five common signs that could be telling you it's time to go back to school.
Find the Right Degree Program Now.
Sign #1 - You Want to Switch Careers
If your passion is also your career, that's great. If not, it may be time to re-evaluate, or re-educate.
"Unfortunately, the statistics are pretty grim as far as people being satisfied with their work," says Rosengren. "It's been consistent for years that over half of the people are dissatisfied with their job."
Rob Schneiderman, Orange Coast College's counseling department chair, says that many of those people choose school as a catalyst for change.
"I think misery is a powerful motivator," says Schneiderman. "It gets people to move in the direction of their dreams. So being unhappy in your job is a big sign that perhaps there are greener pastures elsewhere."
Sign #2 - You Got Passed Up for a Promotion
Have you been passed up for a promotion because your education level didn't make the cut?
That's frustrating. It's also a sign, says Schneiderman.
Getting passed over for a promotion due to lack of a college degree is the number one reason Schneiderman sees people going back to school.
"Being passed up for promotion is a big indicator, especially nowadays," Schneiderman says. "Usually that's a red flag that when layoffs come around, people who aren't as educated are more vulnerable. So if you want to be proactive, you go back to school before you get laid off."
Think it's Time for You to Go Back to School? Find the Right Degree Program Now.
Sign #3 - You Want More Money
Often, more education means more money - at least that's what statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor suggest.
Consider their May 2011 "Education Pays..." report that looked at 2010 annual averages for full-time wage and salary workers over the age of 25. It found that people with associate's degrees made $7,332 more per year than those with just high school diplomas. Those who earned a bachelor's degree earned $21,424 more per year.
Perhaps that's the reason Schneiderman says he sees many college enrollees "who want to learn skills that will offer more financial opportunities for them."
Sign #4 - You Have Great Interviews, But Don't Get the Job
In the current economic climate, job interviews are a notch above the Super Bowl on the competitive meter. So, post-interview analysis is key.
"If you had a job interview and didn't get the job, you need to ask yourself why that was," says Dr. Ted Boehler, dean of innovation and learning technology at Coastline Community College (CCC). The answer, he says, often is a lack of valued skills - skills that formal education and preparation could supply.
Dr. Vince Rodriguez, CCC's dean of instruction, agrees, saying that the job market is so competitive, people with college degrees are competing for jobs that don't even require a degree.
"So you need to become the best candidate you can be," Rodriguez says. "Part of that is getting training. Some of that may be education."
Sign #5 - You Want More Job Security
In an economy with 9 percent unemployment, job security can feel like holding a winning lottery ticket.
So what can you do to keep your job and avoid the unemployment line?
One way might be to go back to school, according to statistics from the "Education Pays..." report.
In fact, the report found that while the unemployment rate for those with just a high school diploma was at 10.3 percent, those who held an associate's degree had only a 7 percent unemployment rate. For bachelor degree holders, that number dropped to just 5.4 percent.
Rodriguez also believes that going back to school is a worthwhile option for improving your job security.
"The best thing you can do is invest in yourself," he says.
