Buuuurgerrrrr. That's all I wanted off that grill. I am about to toot my own horn; I'm good at burgers and sandwiches - very good actually. I'm also super good with my salads... Super good. That sounds funny, but I'm using it anyway.
So, why not mash the two together? Salad burger... Cobb Burger! Excellent. Originally, I wanted to make a Surf and Turf Burger, but after talking it through with a friend, we decide that it may be a bit too... eclectic for a first burger post. Surf and Turf Burger: coming soon.
I use this burger mix for almost all the burgers I make. The onions, garlic, and cilantro add a ton of flavor. It also keeps the meat moist. If you don't like cilantro, parsley works well too. And if you don't like either, well, you can leave it out, but then we can't be friends.
Use a nice crusty bread for this and throw it on the grill to toast it. It's more of a fork-and-knife burger that way. It's different than a pick-it-up-and-eat-it burger, but obvi, it's just as tasty. It's just as good in a soft bun. My brother, Yoni, helped me out today and this happened...
Hollow bread. Half a loaf. It was sourdough, and apparently, it was good.
When making burgers - especially for a big group - make sure you have all your "add-ons" ready to go. It's also nice to have it on a large platter and let people assemble their own burgers. That way, you don't have to take orders. "I don't want blue cheese on mine!" "I don't want tomatoes!" blah, blah, blah. Make it yourself! But obviously present it as, "I've made a gorgeous platter of add-ons. Feel free to create your own burger." Still make your "add-ons" platter even if you're planning on assembling them yourself. This way, you aren't scrambling to cut tomatoes and clean lettuce while your beautiful hot burgers are going cold. Always be prepared.
Remember to FIAH (fire) up your grill early so that it has time to heat up. If you're not planning on grilling these burgers, or you live in a tiny studio apartment in the LES, a grill pan or a regular pan will work just as well. Don't be sad.
I'm going back outside. Enjoy the weather if you live in this area. And if you don't, spring/summer is on it's way. Hang in there! For now, enjoy the recipe and pics, and, be jealous.
Cobb Burger
Makes 4 servings
For Burger Mix:
1 lb ground sirloin beef (or regular ground beef is fine as well)
1/2 onion, cut into 4 large pieces
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup cilantro
1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and freshly ground pepper
For the Dressing:
1 lemon, juiced
1 1/2 TBSP dijon mustard
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
For Assembly:
4 thick slices crusty bread such as sourdough
4 large Boston lettuce leaves
4 slices tomato
1 avocado, cut into slices
4 pieces of bacon, cooked in a pan and set on a paper towel to crisp
1/3 cup blue cheese, crumbled
To make burger meat mix:
Put the onion, garlic and cilantro into a food processor and pulse until very fine. Add to a bowl along with the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, and season generously with salt and pepper. Mix together well and let rest.
To make the dressing:
Add lemon juice and mustard to a large bowl and whisk together. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while mixing. Season with salt and pepper.
Oil your grill and grill off the burgers and slices of bread. Cook burgers to your preferred temperature. I always like mine medium or medium-rare which takes about 5 minutes a side.
Start with a slice of bread, then the lettuce, burger, tomato, avocado, bacon and blue cheese crumbles in that order. Drizzle with the dressing and enjoy =)

text: Between work drama and holiday stress, the only thing you want to occupy is a vacation. Steal away for the weekend to one of these wintry locales. Crystal Mountain Ski bunnies should hop south to Crystal Mountain, where a new 23-cabin gondola — the first in the state — promises an easier way to explore Mount Rainier. What to do: Take in the scenic ten-minute trip up and ski back down. Or stop in for a belly-warming meal at Summit House restaurant, where Northwest-inspired dishes await. Where to stay: Rest your head at any of the resort's hotels or condos for a true lodge experience. Roslyn The tiny Central Washington town is best known for its role in cult '90s TV hit Northern Exposure, but its sweetness remains decades later. What to do: Peruse the quaint shops that line the streets of the one-horse town and grab a bite at the famous Roslyn Cafe. Where to stay: At Suncadia Resort, just minutes from Roslyn, there's nothing you can't do; choose from ice-skating, tubing, snowmobiling, or cross-country skiing. Rather stay dry and warm? Check out its winery, four restaurants, and luxurious Glade Spring Spa. Leavenworth For hearty noshes and holiday cheer a-plenty, the bustling Bavarian village is your spot. What to do: Be thankful for an abundance of traditional German fare, sledding in the town center, and an annual tree-lighting ceremony that draws thousands.Where to stay: Sleeping Lady, tucked away just outside of town, where private cabins dot snow-filled trails along the Icicle River. Methow Valley Outdoorsy types flock to the Methow Valley for its myriad recreation options, but even nonathletic visitors can sightsee and sup in downtown Winthrop and Mazama. What to do: Strap on some snowshoes or cross-country skis and burn a few hundred calories trekking along any of the hiking trails. Where to stay: Perched atop the Valley, Sun Mountain Lodge offers ski lessons, spa treatments, and gourmet dinners. Lake Chelan Winter brings stunning views and the opportunity to enjoy some sun (the area sees 300 days of sunshine per year). What to do: Bundle up for a day of cross-country skiing and snow play at Echo Ridge Nordic Ski Area and Echo Valley Ski and Tube Hill. Cap off the night with a tasting at any of the region's top wineries (Nefarious Cellars is a favorite). Where to stay: The newly renovated, grown-people-only Lake View Hotel is a respite for kid-weary weekenders; family-friendly Campbell's Resort has a few more bells and whistles. Now pack your bags and get outta town. Photos: Jason Anglin / Courtesy of Crystal Mountain Resort; Kathy Quirk-Syvertsen / Getty Images; Sami Sarkis / Getty Images

War of the Human Tanks
Third party DRM: SteamThis game requires a free Steam account to play.
War of the Human Tanks is a story driven strategy game with a gameplay reminiscent of Battleship and Chess, featuring a story of war, loyalty, sacrifice and human shaped tanks.
This story takes place in a land vaguely reminiscent of modern-day Japan. In the twenty years since the first Human Tank was developed, the war raging between the Empire of Japon and the Kingdom of Japon has turned into a proxy war fought between Human Tanks on both sides.
The Empire of Japon once ruled the entire land of Japon. Now diminished and cornered, the Empire prepares to make its last stand as the tanks of the Kingdom of Japon draw close to its capital. Shoutaro Daihon'ei, Lieutenant of the Imperial Army moves out to the battlefield, followed closely by the loyal Human Tanks in his company.
Key Features:
Fast-paced strategic battles in over 30 maps
Use resources earned from battles to develop new tanks
Customize your tanks with various modules to deadly effect
Multiple endings based on your performance
Replay the story keeping your previously earned units and resources
Free battle mode to practice and gather extra supplies
English localization features two all-new bonus maps, hand-drawn battle backgrounds and an improved user interface
Episodic TV drama style story with openings and endings changing by battle's progress

A Turn Based Strategy Meets Story. Lots of Story.Sciazs | Jan. 20, 2014 | See all Sciazs's reviews »
"Episodic TV drama style story with openings and endings changing by battle's progress"
There is a LOT of story to get through. If you're like me who loves reading in between the action, this is a great thing for you but if you're someone who just wants to pick up a mouse and keyboard (or a controller) and get right into the game, then turn away now.
The first real battle of this game is getting through the opening dialogue and the subsequent chatter to get to your first battle. War of the Human Tanks acts more like a Japanese Visual Novel with its artstyle comic feel. While all this talk of story, don't get me wrong, the gameplay (or combat system rather) is very solid incorporating a great mix of turn based strategy and action.
The aesthetics and music are all within the Anime/Manga genre so this may not appeal to all, but for fans of the genre and the strategy game, this game is a great find. This is by all means, a VERY subjective 85.


text:
Asparagus ‐ place them loosely in a glass or bowl upright with water at room temperature. (Will keep for a week outside the fridge)
Avocados ‐ place in a paper bag at room temp. To speed up their ripening‐ place an apple in the bag with them.
Arugula ‐ arugula, like lettuce, should not stay wet! Dunk in cold water and spin or lie flat to dry. Place dry arugula in an open container, wrapped with a dry towel to absorb any extra moisture.
Basil ‐ is difficult to store well. Basil does not like the cold, or to be wet for that matter. The best method here is an airtight container/jar loosely packed with a small damp piece of paper inside‐left out on a cool counter.
Beans - shelling‐ open container in the fridge, eat ASAP. Some recommend freezing them if not going to eat right away
Beets ‐ cut the tops off to keep beets firm, (be sure to keep the greens!)by leaving any top on root vegetables draws moisture from the root, making them loose flavor and firmness. Beets should be washed and kept in and open container with a wet towel on top.
Beet greens ‐ place in an airtight container with a little moisture.
Broccoli ‐ place in an open container in the fridge or wrap in a damp towel before placing in the fridge.
Broccoli Rabe ‐ left in an open container in the crisper, but best used as soon as possible.
Brussels Sprouts ‐ If bought on the stalk leave them on that stalk. Put the stalk in the fridge or leave it on a cold place. If they're bought loose store them in an open container with a damp towel on top.
Cabbage ‐ left out on a cool counter is fine up to a week, in the crisper otherwise. Peel off outer leaves if they start to wilt. Cabbage might begin to lose its moisture after a week, so, best used as soon as possible.
Carrots ‐ cut the tops off to keep them fresh longer. Place them in closed container with plenty of moisture, either wrapped in a damp towel or dunk them in cold water every couple of days if they're stored that long.
Cauliflower ‐ will last a while in a closed container in the fridge, but they say cauliflower has the best flavor the day it's bought.
Celery ‐ does best when simply places in a cup or bowl of shallow water on the counter. If you want to keep it in the refrigerator, like I do, wrap it in tin foil. It will stay crisp for weeks.
Celery root/Celeriac ‐ wrap the root in a damp towel and place in the crisper.
Corn‐ leave un-husked in an open container if you must, but corn really is best eaten sooner than later for maximum flavor.
Cucumber ‐ wrapped in a moist towel in the fridge. If you're planning on eating them within a day or two after buying them they should be fine left out in a cool room.
Eggplant ‐ does fine left out in a cool room. Don't wash it; eggplant doesn't like any extra moisture around its leaves. For longer storage‐ place loose, in the crisper.
Fava beans ‐ place in an air tight container.
Fennel ‐ if used within a couple of days after it's bought, fennel can be left out on the counter, upright in a cup or bowl of water (like celery). If wanting to keep longer than a few days place in the fridge in a closed container with a little water.
Garlic ‐ store in a cool, dark, place.
Green garlic ‐ an airtight container in the fridge or left out for a day or two is fine, best before dried out.
Greens ‐ remove any bands, twist ties, etc. most greens must be kept in an air‐tight container with a damp cloth‐ to keep them from drying out. Kale, collards, and chard even do well in a cup of water on the counter or fridge.
Green beans ‐ they like humidity, but not wetness. A damp cloth draped over an open or loosely closed container.
Green Tomatoes ‐ store in a cool room away from the sun to keep them green and use quickly or they will begin to color.
Herbs - a closed container in the fridge to be kept up to a week. Any longer might encourage mold.
Lettuce ‐ keep damp in an airtight container in the fridge.
Leeks ‐ leave in an open container in the crisper wrapped in a damp cloth or in a shallow cup of water on the counter (just so the very bottom of the stem has water).
Okra ‐ doesn't like humidity. So a dry towel in an airtight container. Doesn't store that well, best eaten quickly after purchase
Onion ‐ store in a cool, dark and dry, place‐ good air circulation is best, so don't stack them.
Parsnips ‐ an open container in the crisper, or, like a carrot, wrapped in a damp cloth in the fridge.
Peppers: Sweet/ Hot/ Bell - Store in a plastic bag before placing in crisper or refrigerator. Green peppers stay fresh longer than orange or red peppers. Will last 1 - 2 weeks in refrigerator or up to 10 months in the freezer. To freeze cut into slices and place on cookie sheet in the freezer until frozen, then place in air-tight container or freezer bag and return to freezer.
Radicchio ‐ place in the fridge in an open container with a damp cloth on top.
Radishes ‐ remove the greens (store separately) so they don't draw out excess moisture from the roots and place them in an open container in the fridge with a wet towel placed on top.
Rhubarb ‐ wrap in a damp towel and place in an open container in the refrigerator.
Rutabagas ‐ in an ideal situation a cool, dark, humid root cellar or a closed container in the crisper to keep their moisture in.
Snap peas ‐ refrigerate in an open container
Spinach ‐ store loose in an open container in the crisper, cool as soon as possible. Spinach loves to stay cold.
Spring onions ‐ Remove any band or tie and place in the crisper.
Sprouts - Keep them cold. Under 40 degrees F'. Get them in the refrigerator as soon as possible and they should last 10 - 14 days.
Summer Squash ‐ does fine for a few days if left out on a cool counter, even after cut.
Sweet peppers ‐ Only wash them right before you plan on eating them as wetness decreases storage time. Store in a cool room to use in a couple of days, place in the crisper if longer storage needed.
Sweet Potatoes ‐ Store in a cool, dark, well‐ventilated place. Never refrigerate‐‐sweet potatoes don't like the cold.
Tomatoes ‐ Never refrigerate. Depending on ripeness, tomatoes can stay for up to two weeks on the counter. To hasten ripeness place in a paper bag with an apple.
Turnips ‐ remove the greens (store separately) same as radishes and beets, store them in an open container with a moist cloth.
Winter squash ‐ store in a cool, dark, well ventilated place. Many growers say winter squashes get sweeter if they're stored for a week or so before eaten.
Zucchini ‐ does fine for a few days if left out on a cool counter, even after cut. Wrap in a cloth and refrigerate for longer storage.
Apricots ‐ on a cool counter to room temperature or fridge if fully ripe.
Cherries ‐ store in an airtight container. Don't wash cherries until ready to eat, any
Bananas - Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster. Keep them on the counter, or in a basket with holes or openings to allow air to circulate.
Citrus ‐ store in a cool place, with good airflow, never in an air‐tight container.
added moisture encourages mold.
Berries - Don't forget, they're fragile. When storing be careful not to stack too many high, a single layer if possible. A paper bag works well, only wash before you plan on eating them.
Dates ‐ dryer dates (like Deglet Noor) are fine stored out on the counter in a bowl or the paper bag they were bought in. Moist dates (like Medjool) need a bit of refrigeration if they're going to be stored over a week, either in cloth or a paper bag‐ as long as it's porous to keeping the moisture away from the skin of the dates.
Figs ‐ Don't like humidity, so, no closed containers. A paper bag works to absorb excess moisture, but a plate works best in the fridge up to a week un‐stacked.
Ginger - Place unpeeled ginger in a zip-lock baggie and place in vegetable crisper.
Grapes - Make sure to select clusters that are free from molds if you plan to keep them in your fridge. Another mistake people make when storing grapes is washing them before storing. While this may clean them and get rid of dirt on them, the water will have a negative effect on the skins of the grapes; making them mushier and promoting bacterial growth in the process.
Kiwi - Keep at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate. Do not place in refrigerator longer than 1 -2 weeks.
Lemons and Limes - If you are going to use them within a week, keep them on the counter at room temperature. Lemons and limes need air so if you place them in a bowl, you may notice their bottoms may grow mold. Try to keep them separated or in an aerated bowl. If you don't eat them within a week, you can keep them in the refrigerator and they will last a month. You can keep them in a bowl in the refrigerator.
Mangoes - Store on the counter until ripe or 2 - 5 days, then move to refrigerator, then keep for 5 - 7 days. If you want to freeze wash peel and slice into pieces. Place pieces on a cookie sheet until frozen then you can transfer to plastic bag.
Nectarines ‐ (similar to apricots) store in the fridge it is okay if it's ripe, but best taken out a day or two before you plan on eating them so they soften to room temperature.
Peaches - (and most stone fruit) ‐ refrigerate only when fully ripe. More firm fruit will ripen on the counter.
Pears ‐ will keep for a few weeks on a cool counter, but fine in a paper bag. To hasten the ripening put an apple in with them.
Persimmon - Fuyu‐ (shorter/pumpkin shaped): store at room temperature.
Hachiya - (longer/pointed end): room temperature until completely mushy. The astringentness of them only subsides when they are completely ripe. To hasten the ripening process place in a paper bag with a few apples for a week, check now and then, but don't stack‐they get very fragile when really ripe.

Togo's Delivers Fresh Franchise Opportunities in Portland
Printer-friendly version
Read More About
Togo's Eateries Inc., a "West Coast Original" since 1971 serving up big, made-to-order sandwiches stuffed with the freshest ingredients, announced today it is targeting Portland, Oregon for franchise expansion.
As part of Togo's 40-year anniversary, the nearly 250 unit sandwich franchise launched an aggressive growth strategy to enter new cities in key Western states such as Oregon, and is actively recruiting passionate single and multi-unit operators to help grow the brand to 400 restaurants by 2015.
To date, there are four Togo's restaurants currently open in Oregon and four additional locations planned for Eugene and Springfield.
Togo's executive team will be in Portland on Thursday, May 3rd from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the DoubleTree Hotel, 1000 NE Multnomah Street, to host a complimentary Franchise Seminar and share the benefits of opening a restaurant franchise.
"Portland has been named 'foodie heaven', and after an unprecedented year of growth in 2012 and 20 plus months of positive same store sales, we are ready to bring our big, made to order sandwiches to the area," says Tony Gioia, chairman and CEO of Togo's Holdings.
"Our 2-to-1 sales-to-investment ratio makes Togo's one of the best franchise opportunities in the sandwich category, and we are looking for passionate entrepreneurs to join our loyal team and help us grow regionally."
Most recently, Togo's formed a $15 million fund to fuel its development in 2012 and beyond. With this funding, both new and existing qualified Togo's franchisees will have access to $5 million to build new restaurants and $10 million for remodels and transfers.
Togo's traditional restaurants boast one of the strongest sales-to-investment ratios in the sandwich segment.
At Togo's, 51 percent of its traditional restaurants operating for a full 12-months in 2010 experienced average unit sales in excess of $600,000, with 25 percent over $800,000.
"Togo's is a great brand for Portland and surrounding cities because we offer the quality and value guests crave, along with the business opportunity entrepreneurs are looking for," says Todd Peterson, vice president of franchise sales of Togo's Holdings, LLC.
Unlike the national mega-chains, at Togo's each guest is offered a deli inspired one-on-one style service in a fun, friendly environment. There is a steadfast commitment to using only the freshest, superior-quality ingredientsand proprietary proteins, which allows franchisees to serve food they can be proud of.
California avocados are mashed daily, abundant quantities of lean pastrami, roast beef, turkey and other premium meats, and Artisan bread set the brand apart from other sandwich shops.
To become a part of the Togo's team and be your own boss, candidates should possess a net worth of $300,000 and a liquidity of $150,000 for a single restaurant.
Area developers looking to invest in three or more restaurants should have a net worth of $900,000 and a liquidity of $450,000. The estimated initial investment to own a Togo's is between $264,000 and $414,500 with a franchisee fee of $21,000 - $30,000.
Togo's was founded in 1971 by a young college student with a large appetite and little money looking to make sandwiches the way he liked them – big, made to order and stuffed with the freshest ingredients. For more information on Togo's Eateries Inc., in general please visit http://www.togos.com.

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today after President Obama announced his intention to nominate REI Chief Executive Officer Sally Jewell as the next Secretary of the Interior:
"President Obama made a wise and bold choice in nominating Sally Jewell to be our next Secretary of the Interior. Her background in business and energy, her love of the outdoors, her experience as an engineer and her commitment to conservation make her an ideal candidate to lead our effort to preserve our natural resources, enhance Americans' quality of life, and create jobs nationwide.
"Secretary-designate Jewell is a leader dedicated to environmental protection and energy independence. She understands the need to defend our national heritage, our national parks, and our public lands, while investing in the safe and responsible development of our energy resources.
"Sally Jewell will continue the work of President Obama and Secretary Ken Salazar to improve and expand the work of the Interior Department. We look forward to her speedy confirmation and to working hand-in-hand with her in the future."

Nevada Kart Sport is the effort of owner Cole Nelson and his business partner Rodney Rivera. For Cole, karting has been part of his life since he was very young.
"I got started when I was 3-years old and got my first go kart during Christmas," he said. "My dad Jeffrey Nelson and his dad, Gary Nelson, manufactured Invader karts back in the early 70's."
Nelson said his first race was probably when he was around 7-years old.
"I remember my first race like it was yesterday," he said. "It was everything I expected as I did a lot of driving before my actual first race. But with my dad being a kart shop owner and being one of the leading American manufacturers at the time, I was in it hot and heavy at the time.
"It's my whole life, being a race car driver and it started when I was seven."
As the years passed, Cole won 10 national championships earning three in his last year competing. Then, around 2005, when he was 17, he took a break and moved into Formula racing.
During his time in the open-wheeled races, Nelson ran some shoot offs; a season in the Jim Russell series then the next year, the Skip Barber National Series. Then he took a little break until he was around 19 or 20.
"I got back into karting around '07 or '08 when I started wrenching for some guys," he said. "In 2006, when the economy went downhill, my dad closed the doors on his shop and I was wrenching, just being a mechanic."
He thought about going back to school but that didn't pan out. Then local kart racer, Jess Peterson, gave him a call and asked that he become his mechanic.
"I actually moved up here so I could be closer to him. I grew up in San Jose then when I was 12, moved to Atwater. There was a track right there and it was real close," he said.
Arriving in Reno, Nelson met Rivera as they were both helping Petersen.
"That's when the kart shop here wasn't doing very well so we got to thinking that we need to open up a kart shop and that's how it all got started," he said.
Nelson and Rivera took over the old Motor Machine Shop as that business was going to close its doors in September.
"We bought all their inventory and opened it back up," he said. "All the karters in this area were very overwhelmed and excited because we provided services that were never around."
While most shops normally sell parts, Nevada Kart Sport is a full service operation. They will build parts, store customer's karts, the even have a "arrive and drive," program where the customer just has to arrive at the track and their kart will be ready to race.
"On top of that, I build karts," he said. "Anybody's frame gets cracked, I can fix it, and things like that."
Nelson has revived the Invader kart brand and is now building what his father used to manufacture.
"It's been branded since 1970 so it's a pretty good name with a lot of creditability behind it," he said. "Me and Rod are planning to carry that name on and we're doing a good job so far."
Over the past few years NNKC has suffered, just like the economy, with diminished kart counts. And while that's improving, Nelson feels he and Rivera have had a part in growing the club again.
"People have a place to come where they are welcome and they can ask questions. We have memberships and it's totally beneficial to have me and Rod here," he said.
The shop also has formed a racing team that spans the Sierras.
"We've got about a 10-man team that's growing, half the customers are in California and half are here," he said.
As a result, this last season Nelson and Rivera were in Reno for eight NNKC events before going over the hill for another eight races in California. This next season he expects they'll do at least a dozen races in places like Salina, Atwater, Redding, Stockton, Dixon, Prairie City and Davis.
"In the heart of the season, we're racing almost every weekend," he said.
With so much time on the road, they use a trailer to not only haul karts to the track, but also offer service in the pits.
"It's fully-loaded with parts to try and service all the karter's needs out there," he said. "With chains, spindles, tie rods, tires, rims, axels, we try to load it up as much as possible so if someone breaks down, has an emergency, we're there for them.
"We go to the track, support our team and that's what we're there for. But anybody else can come and show up as we're not going to turn anyone away."
He added local karters were slightly overwhelmed and surprised when they began to show up at NNKC events.
"They didn't know a kart shop could operate like we do. It's the same thing in California as they love it."
Looking toward the future, Nelson sees a hopeful rise in participation. He feels it's due to the next generation of youngsters discovering karting.
"And the introduction of a Clone motor, which is the cheapest motor package ever brought to karting," he said. "And a lot of kids can afford it and it's bringing some of the karters back as well. It's a passion for racing and if you want competition that's at a high, high level, then karting is where it's at for a low amount of money."
He compared sports car racing at a club level, where the competition really isn't that stiff, to kart racing at the club level, where the competition is fierce.
"Everyone out there is fast and that's a big attraction for many drivers," he said. "Karting is a great plateau to start your career on, that's where you learn race craft, you learn how to pass, about tuning the kart, you learn everything, all the basics. That's what karting is good for," he said.
About the business he said, "We definitely growing, every year we're doing better and better. I'm very optimistic, as long as we can continue to grow the club and our series in California grows, our kart shop should do really well," he said. "We're getting more and more people involved in the club so the future for our shop looks great."
Next year he and Rivera plan to take the next step and expand their racing to include some high-profile events such as one in Oklahoma and the Super Nationals (run every November in Las Vegas).
Those wishing further information about the shop or the "arrive and drive," program are encouraged to check the website www.nevadakartsport.com.

Divining Maria Sharapova's message to Grigor Dimitrov before his big upset
After upsetting Novak Djokovic at the Madrid Open on Tuesday, Grigor Dimitrov said he was inspired by a "few words" from his girlfriend (believed to be Maria Sharapova, of course) that he'll "remember definitely for the rest of my life." Dimitrov wouldn't divulge what was said, but that's where you and I come in.
Photos: Dimitrov hits the deck
What did Sharapova tell her 21-year-old beau before the biggest professional victory of his career? Here are my best guesses, followed by yours via Twitter.
• "Whatever you do, don't double-fault on the big points. Trust me. I've used that tactic and it just never works."
• "Be sure to slide around like you're a cow on ice. It worked for me. I won the French Open."
• "One word, two syllables: Shrieking."
• "If you win, I'll let you tell all of your friends that we're dating. Just kidding — no, I won't. But I'll at least think about it."
• "Look, it's not like you're playing Serena. Novak is totally beatable."
• "No Sugarpova if you lose. End of story."
Here are some of the best responses from Twitter:
• @anna_tennisfan sent along this video (click to the 2:19 mark):
• @thedoublebagel: "Win this match and I'll give you a new Porsche every year for the rest of your life."
• @PoorJan: "Do as I say, not as I do (or don't do)." #BeatNumber1Seed
• @onurakmeric: "Do you remember this Greg?"
• @tjco5: "Where did you put my tennis bag, not that one, the Nike one, no the other Nike one — is it in my Porsche? By the way, good luck."
• @bellyflopz: "Hey Sasha. I mean, Grigor."
• @DamirHot: "Just hit the crap out of the ball every time you get a racket on it. Patience is for losers."
• @thirty_fifteen: "Don't forget, he's extremely injured."
• @chaitu341: "You will be sleeping on the couch if you lose."

Buchheit, director of travel and meeting services at Black & Decker Corporation in Towson, MD, is tired of paying ever-steeper airfares for business and meeting travel on monopoly routes. A founding member of Business Travel Contractors Corporation (BTCC)--the three-year-old consortium of businesses aiming to cut revolutionary deals with airlines for distance-based airfares--Black & Decker figures its per-mile costs between 81 cents and 84 cents on those routes dominated by a major carrier. Where there is competition, the cost falls to 31 cents per mile, said Buchheit, a panelist at BTCC's second Airline Competition Summit, held October 3 in Washington, DC. The summit stirred debate from frustrated travel and meeting executives like Buchheit over ways to reduce entry barriers for low-fare carriers. Co-sponsored by members of Congress, the meeting drew 269 participants representing Southwest Airlines, small carriers, airports, analysts, consultants, government, industry associations, hotels, lawyers, and the press. Of the 46 corporate executive attendees, most had responsibility for travel management. (Last April's summit attracted 225 participants.)
BTCC, of Lafayette Hill, PA, wants to stabilize the cost of tickets for business and meeting travel with net fares. In return for guaranteed business at unrestricted, mileage-based rates with a 15 percent discount below walk-on fares, the plan would require airlines to end travel agency commissions, overrides, and rebates. Travel agents would be paid service fees by corporations.
So far, BTCC has contracted only with Southwest Airlines. So the consortium is putting new energy into helping small, low-fare carriers open up monopoly markets as another way to lower business fares overall. As long as the major carriers are filling their seats in a robust economy, they show no interest in the net fare plan, said BTCC President Kevin P. Mitchell.
"We have not been successful in getting net fares off the ground, but we have done all we can in the current environment," said Black & Decker's Buchheit. In fact, the net fares plan was never mentioned at the summit; rather, BTCC gave participants three pro-competitive proposals to debate:
* reallocate landing rights at four congested airports to new airlines or small incumbent airlines,
* authorize longer flights from Washington National Airport to outlying monopoly hubs,
* strengthen the Department of Transportation (DOT) role in determining predatory practices.
Meanwhile, business fares have climbed 34 percent since January 1 and the skies have become increasingly hostile to upstart carriers. Columbia, SC- based Air South airline went belly up in September and Western Pacific Airlines filed for bankruptcy only three days after the October summit.
At press time, however, five low-fare carriers had just won landing rights at New York's LaGuardia and Chi-cago's O'Hare airports, a development that is expected to bring down airfares on certain routes from those hubs.

On a recent afternoon in Santa Monica, Trevor Neilson met with his staff at Global Philanthropy Group, a company that guides the philanthropic activities of the very rich. Since starting the business, in 2007, Neilson has had a startlingly fast rise as an adviser to celebrities, who make up about half of his roster; his clients have included Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, Ben Stiller, Shakira, and Madonna. At the meeting, he was looking for new strategies for using his clients' fame to raise money. A tall, boyish man of forty, with the regular features of a minor celebrity—perhaps the recurring banker character on a soap opera—Neilson was dressed in jeans, Converse sneakers, and a cardigan sweater. The offices, a few blocks from the beach, had the cheery, fashionable atmosphere of an ad agency. The staff was composed entirely of attractive women in their twenties and thirties.
Neilson opened the meeting by saying, "No idea is a bad idea," but it was only the last pitch, by a tall, twenty-four-year-old blond woman named Molly Swenson, that excited him. G.P.G.'s image combines show business and political wonkiness, and Swenson, fittingly, is a Harvard alum, a former intern in the Obama Administration, and a past contestant on "American Idol." (She sang "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" before getting cut in the Las Vegas round.) Her idea was to build philanthropy apps that deliver iPhone-style push notifications. She explained, "A celebrity encourages fans to download the app to an organization. So if you're driving by a particular philanthropic organization you get an alert—"
"I love this!" Neilson cried, sitting up eagerly. "Has anyone done this?" . . .

RIDGWAY – Members of Ridgway's Main Street Program presented a mock-up for a new town logo and a new tagline to the Ridgway Town Council at its regular meeting last Wednesday (April 10). Mary Pat Haddock and Brian Scranton projected on screen versions of the logo, designed by Traci Schalow of Kindred Collective graphic design. The six-sided medallion features the words "RIDGWAY" and "Colorado" on a banner in front of the iconic Chimney Peak view east of town. And below the banner, the new tagline: "THINK OUTSIDE."
"No longer 'Gateway to the San Juans,'" Scranton crowed. "No longer a place you pass on through."
Council discussed at length whether the shield's color should be alpenglow, or salmon pink, or red-rock red.
A final edition will be ready soon.
Tammy Tuttle, proprietor of the True Grit Café on Lena Street, came to Ridgway's town council last week to ask for two things: to take over the liquor license at the former Cups coffee bar two doors down; and to get a revocable use permit for outdoor tables on the boardwalk in front of the old Cups and the Grit.
Tuttle is partnering with building owner Rob Rose, whose Timber Creek western wear and interior design shop is next door, to continue Cups' tradition of libations and back-yard music. They'll also serve a "light tapas menu," according to Tuttle.
"People sat out in front of Cups, without interfering with boardwalk traffic, or wandering off with their drinks, even though it wasn't permitted," she said.
"Think outside," quipped Councilor Jim Kavanaugh.
"As long as it's revocable," said Councilor Eric Johnson.
Tamara Gulde and Kat Papenbrock of the Ouray Chamber Resort Association came before the regular April Ridgway Town Council meeting with an update on the second annual Mud Fest, coming to the Fairgrounds April 26-28.
"We promised bigger and better this year, and we're going to be bigger and better," Gulde said.
"Last year we expected 500 people, and we got 1,400. This year we've ordered 3,000 tickets. There are a bunch of new events, including the Mud Jam music in Ouray on Friday night and the new truck pull, at the Fairgrounds, on Sunday. We're bringing in a sled from Denver. We're expecting 500-600 people just for this one event. Could be more than that.
"The two chambers are again working together to bring people to our communities," she said, seemingly in awe herself of Mud Fest's overnight appeal.
"Good, clean fun," said Councilor Ellen Hunter.
Council voted unanimous permission for the festival to use of the town's parking lot north of the Library.
Donning a different hat, the Ouray Chamber Resort Association's Kat Papenbrock told the Ridgway Town Council last week about Western Slope Rural Philanthropy Days, a three-day quadrennial conference that is coming this year to Ouray County, June 17-19.
"It's an opportunity to connect local nonprofits with Front Range funders who are looking for worthy recipients," Papenbrock said. Three hundred fifty nonprofits, government officials and funders will gather here, at the 4-H Center. "It'll be a big impact on hotels, restaurants . . ."
Not to mention the funding it could attract. "After the 2005 event in Telluride (in 2009 it was hosted by Crested Butte), funding for local non-profits increased from $3 million to $6.7 million."
Mayor John Clark said, "You could not overstate the importance of this opportunity," and suggested the town contribute $1,000 to the effort from the council initiative fund.
With Councilor Rick Weaver recusing himself, members of the Ridgway Town Council last week heard the plea of Weaver family representative Rusty Weaver for more time to build a required pedestrian bridge across the Uncompahgre River at the River Sage development.
The family can't afford to build it, Weaver said. "I'm still the only one out there. We've only sold one of the seven lots in Phase 1."
Weaver asked that the trigger for the new bridge "not be based on time, but on lot sales. Basically at the beginning of Phase 2."
Councilor Ellen Hunter countered, "I'm not really comfortable saying Phase 2, because of potential construction traffic [on the vehicle bridge] once things pick up. I'm more inclined to give another two years rather than tie it to lot sales or phases."
"An extension to the extension?" said Councilor Eric Johnson.
"I'm OK with that," Weaver replied. "I'll come back and see you in two years."
KVNF Public Radio Executive Director Sally Kane thanked the town last week for its participation in the ongoing summer concert series.
"Mazel tov – congratulations on the new stage," she said. "With the 24 musicians of the March Fourth Marching Band up there [on the old, temporary stage last July], it was a little scary."
Kane, who is leaving KVNF after two decades at the helm, said, "the feedback from our live broadcasts of the concerts is truly inspiring. The series brings the three towns, Ouray, Ridgway and Paonia, together. It's free for families. It's non-polarizing. It's helping us build community, and it's one of those engagement efforts worth their weight in gold."
Council couldn't agree more.

NHS Lothian has entered into a "service level agreement" with the Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh to provide out-of-hours spiritual care, costing £30,000 a year, largely to ensure critically ill Catholics are read their last rites.
The church, which is the only religious organisation with which the health board has a specific agreement, said it was "long-standing practice" that cash was paid to organisations providing services to hospitals.
However, secular campaigners branded the payment "ridiculous" at a time when the NHS is becoming increasingly cash-strapped and said the church should foot the bill.

|Lake Erie Monsters - 1 Center Ice - Cleveland, OH - 44115-4001 - (216) 420-0000 - Family of Companies
Role Reversal for Monsters in Loss on FridayTweet
The shoe was on the other foot for the Monsters on Friday. After posting back-to-back shutouts for the first time in franchise history (3-0 wins overs Philadelphia and Quad City on Sunday and Wednesday, respectively), Lake Erie got shutout themselves. The Monsters fell, 4-0, in Hamilton on Friday. They are now 1-4 against the Bulldogs so far this season.
Lake Erie netminder Tyler Weiman recorded the two shutouts earlier this week, and was also in goal for Friday's loss. It was the fourth blanking the Monsters have suffered this season, and the second in just eight days at the hands of Hamilton. The Bulldogs defeated the Monsters, 3-0, in Hamilton on January 9th.
The Monsters actually equalled the Bulldogs in shots on the night with 28 apiece, but were unable to get any by Hamilton goalie Loic Lacasse. Neither team was able to show any offensive firepower in the first period, however. The Monsters mustered just two shots on goal in the opening frame, while Hamilton had just four. The first session came and went with no score.
Hamilton would more than make up for that in the second, scoring three of their four goals in the frame.
Ben Maxwell started the scoring at 4:30 of the second, assisted by Brock Trotter and T.J. Kemp.
Alex Henry would add to the lead four minutes later, finding the back of net at 8:32. He was assisted by Ryan White and Ryan O'Byrne.
Yanick Lehoux finished the second period scoring barrage with his goal at the 11:58 mark. Dan Jancevski and Kemp were credited with the assists.
The score would remain 3-0 for another full period until the Bulldogs added another insurance goal at 14:16 of the third. Mathieu Aubin scored, helped by Ryan Russell and O'Byrne.
Weiman finished the night with 24 saves on 28 shots faced. Lacasse was perfect for the home team, blocking all 28 shots he saw on the night.
The Monsters will return home on Saturday for the middle of three games in three nights. Lake Erie will host the Manitoba Moose at 7:30 p.m., which will be broadcast on FOX Sports Ohio.

In light of the results of the DCCT, Dr. Barry Ginsberg has written a three-part series on intensive insulin therapy. Look for the continuation of Dr. Ginsberg's "How to Understand and Use Insulin" in future issues.
Part one of "Intensive Insulin Therapy" provides a definition of intensive therapy and an overview of the theories and techniques involved. The second part explains how to start an intensive therapy regimen, while the third deals with adjusting insulin doses when using intensive therapy. The goal of this series is to educate people with diabetes about intensive therapy and enable them to choose the therapy that is right for them.
Dr. Barry H. Ginsberg, MD, PhD, and Endocrinologist, is currently the Medical Director for Becton Dickinson. The opinions in this article are those of Dr. Ginsberg and do not necessarily represent those of Becton Dickinson and Company.
"Metabolic Control Matters"
This statement by Dr. Richard Eastman of the National Institutes of Health will change the way we care for diabetes in the U.S. and around the world. It was based upon the exciting and very powerful data of the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), a ten year study of more than 1400 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The study demonstrated a 50-70% reduction in the complications of diabetes with near-normalization of blood glucose. The study, one of the most positive of any large, multicenter clinical trial was so clear that Dr. Dan Foster, speaking for the American Diabetes Association and Dr. Phil Gordon, head of the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases of the National Institutes of Health stated that the results should be applied to patients with type 2 diabetes as well. Thus, the data now very strongly supports what most of us already believed: that normalizing blood glucose in diabetes will help prevent the complications of diabetes.
Why Intensive Therapy?
In the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) patients achieved near-normal blood glucose values by using intensive therapy for their diabetes. Intensive therapy is composed of intensive insulin therapy, intensive education, and intensive medical interaction with a diabetes health care team. Conversion to intensive therapy has been a slow process in the U.S., but other countries, particularly those of northern Europe, have been much quicker to adopt this ther-apy. In the U.S., intensive therapy accounts for only about 5% of all insulin therapy in type I diabetes, but in Sweden it is more than 70%. The very positive results of the DCCT will also serve to accelerate this movement.
Some Kudos for my Team:
Much of what I will describe to you was developed in the setting of the DCCT at the University of Iowa, where I was the Principal Investigator. Like many parts of our lives, this development was a team effort and I would like to thank the other members of the team, who all had input into this development process. Physicians: Robert Thompson, MD (now at Eli Lilly & Co.), William Sivitz, MD, Rod Zeitler, MD, Robert Hoffman, MD, and John MacIndoe, MD. Nurses: Margaret Bayless, BSN and Nancy Olson, BSN, MSN. Nutritionists: Linda Snetselaar, RD, PhD and Dru Kurtzman, RD, MS. Psychologist: Jon Kramer, PhD.
What is Intensive Therapy?
Intensive insulin therapy has been defined variously. The DCCT defined it as three or more injections of insulin per day but this just describes it and misses the essence of the therapy. Intensive insulin therapy is a different method of looking at diabetes therapy. In conventional insulin therapy you eat for your insulin (i.e. you alter your food to adjust for changes in your regimen after you have injected your insulin). In intensive insulin therapy you take your insulin to match your food.
In intensive insulin therapy you take an injection of insulin before each meal. This insulin is appropriate for the amount of glucose in the meal and the amount of exercise you will perform over the next few hours. It will maintain the same blood sugar over the next 4-6 hours after the injection. If you are going to vary the amount of food, amount of exercise, if your blood sugar is too high, or your blood sugar is too low, you alter the insulin that you take. This flexibility in the amount of insulin that you take provides better blood glucose control.
Using a regimen such as this provides significant advantages. It provides:
Physiologic Insulin
A person without diabetes produces a small amount of insulin all day and more when they eat (figure 1, thin line). When you utilize intensive insulin therapy, you obtain blood insulin levels that are more like those normally produced by the body (Figure, 1 thick line). This gives better blood glucose control with overall lower blood insulin levels.
Better Glucose Control
Intensive insulin therapy, given either with shots or an insulin pump was the method of choice for obtaining near-normal blood glucose values in the DCCT. A better real life test, however is provided by looking at the blood glucose values in a clinical diabetes center. One such set of values is provided in figure 2. The light gray bars are the patients on conventional insulin therapy. The median HbA1c was about 11. For comparison, the group on intensive insulin therapy had a median HbA1c of 7.5. For fairness, it should be noted that the patients presented in this data were neither randomized nor controlled, although the goal of the clinic was to achieve near-normal blood glucoses in all patients.
Intensive insulin therapy provides greater flexibility in both the timing of meals and the amount eaten. Regular insulin is given about a half hour before the start of a meal. If you will eat late, just remember to take your insulin about 30 minutes before your eat. The amount of insulin that you take is appropriate for a certain meal size. If you will eat more, take more insulin, if you will eat less, take less insulin. We'll describe later, how to calculate this amount.

Next month "Intensive Insulin Therapy" continues, and Dr. Ginsberg tells you how to start intensive therapy.
