On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, the latest case on affirmative action. This came just a few months after the Court published its decision in Fisher v. University of Texas. In Fisher, the question was whether race-conscious admissions policies at a public university were constitutional. The Court in effect said yes, upholding limited affirmative action and allowing the University of Texas to continue its race-conscious admissions policies.
The BBA's amicus brief in Fisher highlighted the value of race-conscious admissions policies, and specifically focused on how they serve the legal profession by providing a diverse pipeline of undergraduate and law students.
In Schuette, the Court is considering the constitutionality of Michigan's 2006state constitutional amendment, coming out of ballot initiative Proposal 2. This prohibits preferential treatment based on race, color, sex, ethnicity, or national origin in state college admissions, jobs, and other publicly funded institutions. In a sense, it is the reverse of Fisher – in Schuette, the question is whether the Constitution requires public universities to at least have the option of instituting race-conscious admissions policies like the University of Texas.

Let's just get this out of the way: With "People Like Us," actor Chris Pine and writer-director Alex Kurtzman have made the type of movie that their previous features have had a tendency to crush.
Pine became a star three years ago while commanding Capt. Kirk's seat in "Star Trek,"and since then he has solidified his action-star rep with the Denzel Washington thriller "Unstoppable" and the less acclaimed Reese Witherspoon action-rom-com"This Means War." Kurtzman and writing partner Roberto Orci wrote not only "Star Trek" but also the first two"Transformers" movies, "The Island," "Mission: Impossible III" and "Cowboys & Aliens," prompting Forbes last year to call the pair "Hollywood's Secret Weapons" who can take credit for $3 billion in box-office revenues.
So naturally "People Like Us," a semiautobiographical family drama that marks Kurtzman's directorial debut, is coming out in the thick of the summer blockbuster season. In town recently with his lead actor, the 38-year-old filmmaker laughed at the notion that he was receiving some karmic payback, though he admitted he was surprised that DreamWorks decided to release his film in the summer (Friday).
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
"It just seemed like the kind of movie you'd see in the fall, and then they said, 'You know, the testing has been really good, and we did really well with"The Help"last year, and we really feel like there's going to be a counterprogramming audience for this, and you can either go see all of the big movies about vampire-hunting presidents or you can go see something that's human and real and different and for grown-ups,'" Kurtzman said.
Elizabeth Banks, who co-stars in "People Like Us" and was in town a couple of weeks after Pine and Kurtzman, was in a less talkative mood regarding the release date.
"Don't ask me about that," she said, laughing.
Well, at least DreamWorks is advertising it heavily, perhaps with that "Help" connection in mind.
"I wish we had a best-selling book to fall back on," she said with another laugh.
Those issues aside, Pine said this type of comedic drama finds himself, an experienced theater actor, and his director in more of a comfort zone than the mega movies for which they're best known. (The next "Star Trek" installment, starring Pine and co-written by Kurtzman, already has been shot and will open May 17.)
"When we both started we never in our wildest imaginations would've ever thought of ourselves doing the kind of films that we're doing," the 31-year-old actor said as he and Kurtzman enjoyed a steakhouse dinner. "We both feel incredibly lucky to get to do what we do, and our path and journey has taken us on a certain route with these bigger films, and it's fantastic, but I think the large part of our hearts and interest has always laid in a different, smaller arena, like films that eventually feel like 'Kramer vs. Kramer.'"
Kurtzman cited "Kramer vs. Kramer" as well as "the holy trinity of Jim Brooks, Cameron Crowe and Steven Soderbergh" as having informed his film. Billed as "inspired by true events," "People Like Us" finds Pine playing Sam, a fast-talking East Coast salesman who flies to Los Angeles for his father's funeral and learns that his dad had a daughter by another woman. The father's lawyer tasks Sam to deliver $150,000 to his newly discovered half-sister, Frankie (Banks), but without revealing himself and his mission, Sam befriends her and her son, Josh (Michael Hall D'Addario), instead.
Kurtzman said his dad was a dentist, not a music producer (that came from co-writer Jody Lambert, whose father, Dennis Lambert, co-wrote "One Tin Soldier" and "We Built This City" and co-produced "Rhinestone Cowboy"), and there was no $150,000 or overarching secret.
"My dad had another family before ours, but we knew about them growing up," the writer-director said. "They weren't around. We'd not met them."
Part of the reason the screenplay took seven years to write, he added, was to deal with the "slow disentangling, separating of truth from fiction: what of the truth was going to stay, what of the fiction needed to be amended for the story to work on its own merits."
During this development period, fiction and fact collided in a way that no one could have scripted.
Kurtzman said that hours after he finally figured out his movie's final shot, he attended a party where "a woman walked up to me and said, 'I'm your sister.' Totally random. I think I was in shock for several days at the timing of it and the odd everything of it, but it opened up the door to us getting to know each other. The story for us became about lost time and all the time we could have had together that we didn't have. That definitely made its way into the movie."
Having watched Pine embody Kirk's transition from reckless youth to cool-headed leader in "Star Trek," Kurtzman said he was his first choice to play Sam.
"Sam is a very tricky part to play because the character makes so many wrong choices along the way that hurt people, and yet I knew that it was critical for the audience to love him at every step of the way," Kurtzman said. "It was very clear to me that he was going to be able to play that and that he was going to make it likable."
Pine said he immediately liked the script but had reservations about working on such a personal story with the writer also directing it.
"The worst thing that can happen in a circumstance like that is that the piece becomes precious, and I actually told him very upfront, 'I won't be any good to you if I can't be a full collaborator on this with you, because I have some very specific ideas about it and feel certain ways about different things,'" the actor said.

Bunny Come
Ahead of the Festival, we caught up with some of the runners up at this year's Emerging Talent Competition finals who've secured slots at the Festival. (See the line-up page to see when/where they're all playing.)
I'm still pushing hard on the album I released last autumn, Engurland (City Shanties), because it's as yet only had a small release - me on my tod splurging it as far as I can - and I want it to spread further, because I'm dead proud of it.
Gig-wise, we are sailing to a land where there are festivals and nothing else. We're playing Sunrise, Beach Break, Lovebox, Larmer Tree, Secret Garden Party, Camp Bestival, Green Man, Shambala and Bestival, as well as GladstoneBerry of course.
What we've been up to since the finals? Well, the day of the finals I was in Cairo, avoiding camel scams and visiting subversive authors, and a lot of the time since has been spent getting home from there by land. I played in the West Bank in Palestine, spent 5 nights on buses in order to get to Kosovo in time for another show, then swooped through the Czech Republic on the bus route home. If you've got time to chuckle and look at beautiful photos (taken by my photographer companion Billy Macrae) you can investigate our diary on www.unplaned.com. The other band members were on their very own missions too - our bass/beatbox genius Bellatrix spent several weeks in India with her acapella group The Boxettes, and has spent her time since in the toilet or groaning on a bed.
In general, though, the mission to play and be played is unending, relentless: I spend 70% of my time plugging my work to the world, trying to get noticed by reviewers, radio people, gig people, anyone with ears. That's what occupies my days for the most part. All the rest of the time, it's music. That's possibly a bit sad.
In May we toured with the amazing Stornoway for a week, culminating in our biggest ever club show at ULU in London which was very exciting. That all led up to our second single which is out this week to celebrate our appearance at glasto. It's called 90mph and will also include our first ever video!
We're playing 3 slots at Glasto, on the Avalon Stage on the Saturday 11:30am, and the Avalon Cafe on the Sunday 6:30pm, and we've just confirmed playing the lovely Tadpole Tent too.
Since the ETC final we have been gigging constantly and planning a summer of fun... getting ready for Glasto, touring with Stornoway, and planning studio time for the summer to go in and commit new songs to tape. We're also playing Latitude in July on the lovely Huw Stephens' lake stage.
Since the ETC we've been working hard on new material, with some songs set to be given greater public premieres at Glasto! We've also been busy finalising our debut EP 'Tinderbox', which will be released at a launch party in June, details tbc on our myspace. We are scheduling quite a few gigs at the moment for June to get the new material ready.
The Acoustic Stage slot at Glastonbury this year is certainly a major highlight on our calendar. We're also looking forward to a potential interview with BBC 6Music's Tom Robinson whilst we're down there. Apparently we'll be playing in a bubble bath on a double-decker bus (!) as well at some point during the festival, so look out for that one.
'Foxglove', one of the tracks from our EP, has been selected to go on the 'Festival Harvest' CD, which features some of the emerging bands from all the UK festivals.
Beyond Glastonbury we're planning to keep madly writing and gigging new material, and adding some more dimensions to our sound with synth, backing vocals, electric guitars etc. We've got what we reckon are two great singles waiting in the wings for release in Autumn this year. Finally, we are planning on a group move down to Manchester in September, which will bring us all together and focus our energy solely on our music. We're looking forward to seeing where the next year takes us - exciting times!
Since the Glastonbury etc finals Secret Cinema Band have been busy gigging and finishing off the last touches for their forthcoming album 'Through a Cathode Darkly' which was co-produced with Daniel Knowles from the Post-Rock band, 'Amusement Parks On Fire.' The band will be having an album launch this summer and the band are looking forward to releasing it. They are also working with film maker Robert Rafalat creating new ideas for their visuals that the band incorporate as part of their performances using a projector. Also they have started filming their video for their song 'official neck for the rope' which has been chosen to be played on BBC 6 Music by Tom Robinson in June.
Secret Cinema Band were also chosen as 'Ones to watch 2010' in 'Talk Talk Music' Article
We also secured a main support slot at this years Gig In The Park festival Friday August 6th.
Our debut album 'Order From The Chaos' was released as CD & Download on our own label Cottage Industries, earlier this month. Please find the album art attached. We can't wait for Glastonbury, where we'll also be singing in the Bath for the Jubilee Debt campaign. Strange I know..
In April we supported Idlewild at our home town Academy. Earlier in the month we where asked BBC6 radio Dj Tom Robinson, to play a BBC Introducing show down at maida vale studios which was amazing, has to be the best gig we have done to date. In May we travelled down to Brighton to play the Great Escape Festival which was another good gig with a beautiful town. We also played with The Futureheads & we have band for a topman CTRL w/Channel 4 at our first local gig in a long time (was lovely to be back home again).
We are releasing a new single called 'Six Wolves' The release date will be around July/August after our Glastonbury gig... let summer role on
New Merch out very soon!
Since our celebrated sojourn into the green countryside all those months ago, we've splashed and sploshed across London, maintaining our regular gig schedule and excitedly preparing our set for Glastonbury. As well as playing in London venues with our better known tracks, we've been refining our look and working on one or two little ditties that we'll be unveiling soon. As far as upcoming gigs go, we're casting our gaze seaward next week as we play Processed Meat at JAM in Brighton. It's a busy time for us bunnies!
But in other Glasto-related news, we've secured a second slot. In addition to playing the East Dance Village at 12:30 on Friday, we'll be playing at 04:30 the following morning at The Rabbit-Hole. You're all invited to stay up with us and party (quite literally) 'till the sun comes up.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

We're back :)
Hello everyone
As you can see the site is back up and I attempted to back date it and kind of missed the mark so it's going to take a week or so to get back to where we were.
On top of that the site is pretty much new, so everyone who wants to comment will have to wait for me to approve them again. This had to be done because we literally had tens of thousands of spam hits a week.
On top of that we're only 10 days away from the end of the current Kickstarter campaign and now is the time to jump on if you want to help this strip survive, so please come on board and get yourself a book
Thank you all for enduring this with us and please vote for us on Topwebcomics.com
And We're Back…
After spending the weekend back and forth, The Oswald Chronicles website is back online. JD still has to upload the current comic but the rest of the site is functioning normally.
Thanks for your patience!

Plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit against General Motors for its handling of widespread recalls are adding the maker of airbags that were found to be defective to their list of defendants they are seeking compensation from.
The lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court of Northern California, alleges that Auburn Hills, Mich., based Continental Automotive Systems US Inc. was aware its airbags were not deploying properly in the GM cars that have been recalled.
GM is facing litigation for accidents involving recalled vehicles made between 2004 and 2010 that have been found to have a dangerous ignition switch flaw that caused cars to abruptly shut off or have their airbags disabled. The company is being accused of delaying issuing the recall, which has been linked to 13 deaths, until February of this year to avoid paying for repairs.

You are here: Home / Topics / In the News / North American Fresh-Tomato Market
Stay Connected
See Background Statistics on Fresh-market Tomatoes
Grower prices for fresh tomatoes in the United States, Canada, and Mexico remained low throughout much of 2012 across most tomato categories. Tomato prices had approached these low levels in earlier years, but the duration of the downturn in 2012 is unusual. Among the factors likely influencing the low prices of 2012 are good growing conditions throughout North America; a rising share of fresh tomato production coming from protected-culture technology (i.e., non-field production such as greenhouse, shadehouse); growing diversity of tomato types available (e.g. vine ripe, cherry, grape, heirloom, greenhouse beefsteak, and greenhouse tomatoes-on-the-vine); shifts in market preferences, and the economic downturn. Prices for fresh field-grown round and Roma tomatoes have shown some recovery in late 2012, moving into 2013.
Update Fresh Tomato Shipments 2012
Almost all fresh-market tomatoes consumed in the United States come from domestic production or imports from Mexico and Canada. Both field and protected-culture technology producers in all three countries have evolved to provide a seamless supply of tomatoes to the market. With multiple production regions in the market every month, there are likely to be fewer and fewer periods of short supply and peak prices.
For more information on North American fresh-tomato markets and a discussion of terminology see: Recent Trends in the Fresh Tomato Market (p.26).
Update Tomato Shipping by Region
Warm weather and good growing conditions across North American production regions produced large supplies of high-quality fresh tomatoes for U.S. markets during early 2012 even as longer-term production trends for field tomatoes are generally down or stagnant (with the exception of roma tomatoes in Mexico). Almost two-thirds of U.S. fresh-tomato commercial acreage is in two States: California and Florida. Florida round and roma field tomato production peaked in 1992 and declined 51 percent by 2011. USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) production data show very little movement in California round and roma field tomato production since 2000.
Field tomato imports from Mexico peak in the winter when southern Florida is the predominant U.S. producer. The Florida tomato season runs from October through June. Florida tomatoes dominate the field market during the spring as Mexican field production seasonally declines. California produces field-grown fresh tomatoes from May through November. Growers in the Baja California peninsula of Mexico also export field tomatoes to the United States during the summer and fall months. Across all seasons, U.S. imports of round field tomatoes from Mexico have declined 43 percent since 2003 while imports of field roma tomatoes from Mexico are still increasing (up 58 percent between 2003 and 2011).
Update California and Florida Field
Update Imports from Mexico
In 2005, U.S., Mexican, and Canadian protected-culture technology tomato shipments into the U.S. market were about equal. Since then, production has increased in all three countries. Shipments from Mexico have grown dramatically and now dominate supplies of protected culture fresh tomatoes in the U.S. market.

MOVIE SEEKS BLOG REVIEWERS: The PR folks for the forthcoming Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, etc.) science fiction movie Serenity are inviting bloggers to advance screenings. (List of cities here via an Excel document that didn't quite format right, but it's legible). It's free, and all they ask is that you blog something, good or bad, about it.
If you're interested, email 'em at email@example.com and they'll put you on the list. I'll be going to a screening in Knoxville.
UPDATE: More legible list of screenings here. And here's a Daniel Drezner post about the trailer.
UPDATE: They're full now (Friday p.m.) so if you haven't emailed 'em you've missed your chance. Apparently the blog-response was phenomenal.

Beyond Borders: You suggest that meeting planners set up a "resource network" when venturing outside the United States. How should they begin?
Carol Krugman: Start nearby. Family and friends who have traveled or even lived in the country where you will be working can provide a wealth of useful tips. Before my first assignment in Seoul, I got a complete briefing on Korean food, social etiquette, and basic business practices from the Korean couple who owned the neighborhood fruit-and-vegetable stand where I routinely shopped.
Next, if you work in a company, ask colleagues for advice, especially those in overseas offices. If you're an independent planner, professional association contacts can help. Meeting Professionals International has been an extended professional family and virtual workplace for me for over 15 years, and it continues to provide valuable contacts all over the world, ranging from planners to suppliers to academics. Other international professional organizations, such as the International Congress and Convention Association and SITE, are excellent resources. Many members of the Professional Convention Management Association also are involved with meetings overseas.
BB: Let's say I've exhausted the advice of people I know and I still need more information. What next?
Krugman: National tourist organizations and convention and visitors bureaus are perhaps the least understood, least appreciated, and most underutilized sources of information and support for planners who have no prior experience in a destination. They provide a wealth of information and collateral materials. They also assist with organizing site visits, identifying local suppliers, and even helping to gain access to venues controlled by local governments for that special off-site event.
NTOs and CVBs welcome group inquiries of any size and are happy to assist corporate and association meetings alike. Best of all, their services are free to planners, as they are funded by their governments, member supplier companies, or both. And check out this online directory of NTOs.
If you work with any of the larger hotel chains or even the smaller consortia of independent hotels, your sales contacts will be delighted to either get you the information you need about potential properties overseas or put you in touch with someone who can. Airline contacts can get you information on flight availability, capacity, and schedules.
BB: What about using the Internet?
Krugman: The reality today is that we tend to go to the Internet first, foremost, and continuously throughout the information-gathering process. It is an outstanding research and screening tool that is especially useful for finding and sifting through large amounts of information that were previously difficult or time- consuming to obtain. For example, I always check out the Web sites of embassies, consulates, and the U.S. Departments of State and Commerce, to get an overview of the political, economic, and security issues that may have an impact on my group. This is not necessarily information that would be provided by a national tourist office. These days, even when I am traveling internationally as a private citizen, I register my travel plans with the U.S. Consulate in any country I will be visiting, so as to get on its e-mail advisory/warning list.
As a vehicle for setting up a resource network, remember that the Internet is a useful tool, but it is no substitute for the advice you can get from a known and trusted human source.
BB: Who is on your list of essential support partners for international meetings?
Krugman: No matter how many years you have been planning meetings, you should not attempt to plan and execute a meeting overseas without help from local supplier partners, including:
1. A full-service destination management company. You'll never have the day-to-day knowledge and long-term relationships that DMCs have in their communities. Association planners may choose instead to work with a professional congress (or conference) organizer, which provides many of the same services as a DMC along with additional meeting management services. These include assistance with registration, abstract management, and on-site management of multiple sessions, exhibits, and internal meetings during the larger meeting. PCOs often serve as the local organizing office for an association prior to, during, and even after a congress. Go to the International Association of Professional Congress Organizers for information on PCOs and where to find them.
2. A reliable shipping company, customs broker, and/or freight forwarder.
3. A specialist in reclaiming value-added tax, such as Clark Eide Inc. or Meridien Global Services. (More on VAT below.)
BB: You've stated that a team member fluent in the host-country language is a necessity, not a luxury.
Krugman: If you are not familiar with the local culture and you are unable to communicate in the local language, you must have someone with you to be your eyes, ears, and mouth on site. This person can be a co-worker or a colleague whom you can hire to assist with the planning and be on site. Or, you can ask your DMC to assign a staff person to you. Either way, it is important to have a dedicated assistant on site to ensure that your actions are appropriate and your decisions are communicated clearly to all.
A Value-Added Partner: Get to Know VAT, Then Get Help
At Wikipedia , you can find a comprehensive chart listing every country that has a VAT/IVA/GST. Check the percentage of tax and if it can be reclaimed. Then check again with the country's national tourist office or your destination management company, since some countries, like Mexico and Chile, exempt meeting-related costs from their IVAs. In some European countries, you can reclaim some or all of the VAT paid on meeting-related goods and services, but you have to ask.
Note well: VAT reclaim is not automatic, not guaranteed, very complicated, and best left to specialists who will do the tracking, calculating, form filling, and filing for you. There are many such companies, but two that have worked with planners for years are Clark Eide Inc. and Meridien Global Services. (Links above.)
Carol Krugman, MEd, CMP, CMM, has managed programs in Latin America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East, as well as in the U.S. and Canada, and now teaches full time as director of meeting and business event management for the Department of Hospitality, Tourism, and Events Management at Metropolitan State College of Denver.

Seattle >Food & Dining > Spring Hill
4437 California Ave Sw, Seattle, WA | Directions 9811647.564048 -122.386776
Neighborhoods: Junction, West Seattle
Now known as Ma'Ono, this stylish spot in West Seattle is a fried chicken palace that has a Hawaiian accent. Great weekend brunch, too.
Now Ma'Ono, it's all about fried chicken & Bourbon. But they have a way with veggies too! Hawaiian inspired fare with modern presentation.
Excellent in every way – This tops my personal list of eating places. Everything I have ever had at Spring Hill has been delicious and expertly prepared. They have a wood-grilled menu on Monday nights that I was especially delighted with, and their cocktails and wine selections impressed a good friend from out of town. The service is always friendly, and I always feel elated after I finish a meal at Spring Hill.
Disappointed – There's nothng like a great burger. And yea they are a bit greasy.
Imagine high quality beef perfectly seasoned. A beautiful artisan bun. Lovely sharp cheese and thick cut bacon.
Shredded lettuce with creamy dressing.
Now take take that and dip it in a vat of beef fat. Oh my. I t could have been perfect but it was totally soggy. The lettuce was like the worst overdressed salad ever. And all of those beautiful flavors had to be sought for because the entire thing was overcome with grease. Heartbreaking.
Fries...bland...but there are no good fries in Seattle...anywhere.
My friend had mashed potatoes..oh wait they called it "gnocci". There were supposed to be peas in it...didn't see any. Saw some green bits of something though.
Disappointed – We had heard so many positive things about Spring Hill so my husband & I decided to give it a try. We were sadly disappointed. The food was interesting and very tasty, but the price to serving size was horrible. It was a good thing we went there not feeling overly hungry. We'd much rather drop over $100 for the two of us (sans alcohol beverages) at a restaurant downtown Seattle or at Mashiko's!!!!
I've fallen in love with a restaurant – Spring Hill has quickly become my favorite restaurant in Seattle. Innovative cuisine with impeccable flavor and beautiful presentation in a refreshingly simple setting. The service has been top notch every time I've visited. Their Monday night fried chicken dinner should not be missed, $80 for 4 people is an absolute steal for all the delicious food you get. Also, their brunch is incredible and also an amazing value for the quality of food they are serving up. I highly recommend the Saimin noodles on the brunch menu. I'm already booked for brunch the next few weekends and am planning a dessert night to try out all the new offerings from their new addition, pastry chef Garrett Melkonian (formerly executive pastry chef for Tom Douglas restaurants).
Love its execution and everything – good execution, presentation and price points. My g.f. and I were very happy with the whole dinner. Very knowledgeable staff and owner/chef, Mark Fuller. Wine list is not extensive but good enough. I am on the food and wine committees of Columbia Tower Club. I read some people bitching about the price points and I disagree. Some of the items mark prepares take a long time to do, and it costs labor and money. I love the place and will bring my friends back.
It's hot alright - very HOT – The temperature in the restaurant was worthy of Dante. It was 77 degrees outside and probably 90+ in the restaurant. The hostess was covered in sweat. Are there other aspiring "serious" restaurants in this city without AC? Of course we left, wouldn't you?
One of the best restaurants you'll ever find! – This is part of what makes Seattle worth enduring month after gloomy month. We are blessed with a hand full of truly stand out restaurants and Spring Hill is right up there.
The excellent, mostly local wine list plus original and delicious cocktails start you out right from the professional and just the right casual staff. A fork appears right when it's needed.
Bay scollops and smoked oysters were just wonderful. The pork belly pasta and grilled lamb were truly unique combinations that you will talk about for weeks to come.
The bread pudding and coffee press (rather weak Victrola's product) made for the right ending. They just need an espresso machine, of course. And go with Vivace or even Starbucks would be better.
Online reservations were super easy and worked perfectly.
Go now.
They make Quality look easy – These folks know what the heck they are doing. Take a seat at the corner bar, grab a drink from Sarah, and watch Mark and the whole team go Pow! Shazam! during any dinner rush, and you can still hear your date if you aren't too busy eating. Huge style points. But it gets better. Duck egg yolk raviolo...WOW. Who woulda thunkit - the parsley oil, duck ham and ginger chips are perfect complements to the incredibly fresh piece of pasta, and boy do these folks know how to make and handle fresh pasta. Everything I've eaten is worth having again, and the value has been there every time. Beef hot and cold makes me drool, the textures are complementary like peanut butter and chocolate. The steak, I think it was a rib eye, was seared and seasoned with an expert touch, holey tamoley. (Bring back the side of spinach please!) The hamburger - order it medium rare and it will melt your mouth I mean melt in your mouth, even without the bacon, but why would you want to do that? To taste the oregon beef solo, that's why...we can tell they spend TIME on their burger, it rocks, even without the bacon (heresy, I know, I know). The fries are the crispest, freshest, most flavorful potatoes ever to grace this tongue. *drool* And still, it gets better. Ice cream flavors are from the moon, incredibly original like popcorn truffle. I'm the quintessential vanilla fan but now I changed my mind. Stay downtown at your peril. This is a truly professional new restaurant with simple, classic flavors and ingredients in West Seattle. We're never going back again, until we get hungry again.
Why wait 45 minutes for table when you had a reservation? – Why continue to wait when the food is "good", not amazing?
Why even bother to take a wine list seriously when all it offers is NW wines?
Why sit down to a dinner with friends when you cannot even hear each other?
Why go back?
Why not just go downtown?
West Seattle has waited a long time... – My husband and I ate at Spring Hill for the first time last Sunday and it is definitely our new favorite restaurant in town. The menu is not long, but we had a really difficult time deciding what to order since everything sounded so good. On our server's recommendation we had the duck raviolo, the crispy sweetbreads, and the razor clam sausage. For entrees we had the short ribs with potato dumplings and the duck, which a friend had recommended to us. The short ribs were so tender and the duck was perfectly cooked. All of the food was comforting but at the same time very interesting. We will definitely be back to try all of the raw bar items...there are not too many restaurants in town with such an excellent selection of oysters, and we can't wait to try the geoduck. This is definitely a restaurant for people interested in food. Our server was extremely knowledgeable, and her suggestions for wine pairings were perfect. Finally, a restaurant with a downtown atmosphere and sophisticated food that we don't have trouble finding parking for!

They get a bad rap for being rude, but yawns are one of the best-kept secrets for flexing your mental muscles, says Andrew Newberg, M.D., associate professor of radiology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Brain scans reveal that yawning activates areas responsible for social awareness and feelings of empathy—which may explain why yawns are so contagious: Even reading this may cause you to yawn! "They might also strengthen the precuneus, a part of the brain that plays a central role in memory retrieval and self-reflection," Dr. Newberg says. And if a colleague catches you with your mouth agape in a boring meeting? Tell her you're improving your productivity. "The quick hit of oxygen wards off sleepiness and helps you stay focused by regulating metabolism and cooling the brain," Dr. Newberg says.
Do it better "Yawn as often as possible—in the morning, at work, before a big test," Dr. Newberg suggests. "It will give your brain an instant pick-me-up." Can't yawn on cue? Fake it a few times and you won't be able to help yourself.

Underdone Ioane > Medium-Rare Mitchell/JOC IMO
Avatar now by choice. 5-0 in the Ashes and all.
good fight by the ruskis but terrible execution at the lineout cost them. Would have been fantastic if they stole a draw at the death there.
American captain is a ****.
(disgraceful behaviour)
Thought the American scrum was average tbh - Russia obviously forgot aout the lineout at training. Looking forward to The game against the Paddy's.

"Predictably, the ending of his international career did not end the argument about Pietersen's merits, as an army of informed commentators and Piers Morgan weighed in to defend or attack him."
- The Guardian's Andrew Anthony
Good suggestion in the Dom Post this morning. Take the teams that finish 3/4 in the group stages and let them have their own knock-out "Shield" competition. You've brought these smaller teams all the way over here, why not? Reckon you'd get a full house for a Shield final.
Would give the little teams a bit more to play for in the last couple of round robin games. 5th placed team goes home.

Day 1 Nairobi
Arrive in Nairobi any time and make your way to the joining point hotel. Upon arrival look for information on your trip on the hotel bulletin board regarding the meeting time and briefing to be held on day two. Take today to wander the streets of central Nairobi, taking in old colonial architecture and the brightly coloured crowds to get a feel for Africa. The city's best attraction is the National Museum, home to most of the great prehistoric finds made by the Leakey family in East Africa, from Ethiopia to the Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. It also has sections on wildlife, art, geology, local history and a snake park.
Day 2 Limuru (B,L,D)
On this day, you will be picked up from the Hotel Boulevard at approximately 7:00am where you will be taken to Limuru. You will have your orientation of the projects over a cup of tea or coffee with your coordinators and have the opportunity to chat through the projects and confirm your timetable for the rest of the week. You will then spend the day at one of the projects helping out with current tasks.
Day 3-6 Community Volunteer Project (4B,4L,4D)
For the next 5 days we have the opportunity to make a difference and experience life in the outskirts of Nairobi, where lives have been dramatically impacted by poverty, unemployment and HIV/AIDS. Volunteers get involved various community projects namely Limuru children centre, mukeu special unit school and In his image baby rescue centre. As the volunteers time is relatively short we initially place them in one focal project to ensure as much continuity and consistency as is possible and then have optional projects for day 6 and 7. There are over a million orphans in Kenya mainly due to AIDS, from which only 5% get any kind of support. There is a huge need for assistance in orphanages and children's homes. We will visit an orphanage in Limuru, home to children that come from different backgrounds and that have been affected by disability, abuse, poverty or illness. These children are in desperate need of love and attention. Many of them are developmentally delayed and need extra attention in order to promote their development. The orphanage offers opportunities for us to become involved in daily activities including helping with teaching and organizing activities to promote the well being of the children. Another important role for volunteers is to assist the caregivers in their daily task of maintaining the home and cooking food while the children are at school. We may also be needed to do practical work, such as painting or building, in order to improve the orphanage and making it a better home for the children. No experience necessary.
Day 7 Nairobi (B)
On Sunday morning you have an opportunity to help out at HALF WAY HOME which is a baby rescue centre which is particularly understaffed on a Sunday. And with between 14 – 18 babies the caregiver are desperate for an extra pair of hands. Head back to Nairobi and explore the city while you wait to meet up with your safari group. A brief departure meeting will be held in the hotel reception area in evening. Upon arrival look for information from your tour leader on the hotel bulletin board regarding the meeting time.
Day 8-9 Samburu Game Reserve (2B,2L,2D)
This morning we depart Nairobi and drive north through the farmlands of the Kikuyu people, passing Mount Kenya, Africa's second highest mountain (5199m), on our way to the Samburu Game Reserve. Samburu is a wildlife haven to many species rarely found elsewhere. We enjoy an afternoon game drive in search of the northern species of game that are not seen south of the equator, such as the Reticulated Giraffe, Grevy's Zebra, Beisa oryx and Somali ostrich. On day 3, we Page 3 spend a full day game viewing in search of the "Big 5" - elephant, lion, rhino, leopard, and buffalo - in addition to another creature of the area - the long-necked gerenuk (meaning giraffe neck), a graceful antelope that stands upright on its hind legs to feed on tall bushes.
Day 10-11 Lake Nakuru (2B,2L,2D)
Descend into the Great Rift Valley enjoying stunning views of the escarpment on the way. Lake Nakuru is a shallow soda lake, renowned for its huge concentration of flamingos and over 460 species of birds. On day 5, embark on a safari within Lake Nakuru National Park, in search of the resident black and white rhino, buffalo, impala, and the elusive leopard.
Day 12-13 Masai Mara (2B,2L,2D)
After breakfast, we depart for the world famous Masai Mara Game Reserve. With its vast open plains and distinctive flat-topped acacia trees, no visit to Kenya would be complete without a visit here! In the afternoon we will arrive in the area, and get settled at our permenant tented camp, our base for our time here. Then we make our way into the reserve for an afternoon game viewing drive, with excellent chances of seeing the "Big 5" - lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino. Day 7 starts with an early morning game drive, since the best time to spot wildlife is in the early hours of the morning. The day continues with more game viewing as you criss-cross the rolling hills of the African savannah. You will also have a chance to try the optional balloon safari, in addition to stopping at a Masai village to learn about, and interact with, the local Masai people.
Day 14 Nairobi (B,L)
This morning we make our last game drive in the Masai Mara before heading back to Nairobi. In Nairobi you have an opportunity to buy some lovely local handicrafts, or exchange some photographs with your group in the late afternoon, before enjoying your last safari evening together.
Day 15 Depart Nairobi (B)
Depart Nairobi

Dear all,
I bought a dead 3G. I don't know the failure - the sellers reason for selling it was, that he has tried to replace the back cover and after this the phone does not work and was completly dead.
So yesterday the 3G received and I dissamble the complete phone, visit all components clean the contacts and begun to assembe the phone again.
First start after been ready with assambling - no reaction.
Dissamble the LCD again, control and reconnect the ribbon-cables - yes - it work. Great. Battery is charging. Eveything is fine.
A little bit flickering LCD, but touch and sound is working great - arggh - keelocked (but this is not the problem yet).
At this moment I have not reinstalled the LCD to the back cover. After pressing the LCD into the back cover - no function again. Shit.
After reassambling / assambling the phone several times with more or less success (working/not working) I asks myself how to go on with an good strategy.
So here is my first question:
1) Does the 3G Logicboard is working rudimental with a connected dock-connector (Ribbon Nr.4). Must it be recognized from Itunes?
This is - from my point of view the most importent thing to know (minimal setup) to verifiy the funktionality, isn't?
If it will be recognized from Itunes I will try to provoke a failure. With a little bit luck only the dock connector is broken.
Please excuse my english - hope you understand it.
Regards and many thanks,
P.S.: I've got a lot of more questions - but I think it is better to go on step by step.

Case of chronic LYMPHOCITIC DERMATITIS OF THE NOSE AND HYPERPLASTIC CHRONIC GiNGIVITIS in a Labrador Retriver
Dr.ssa Silvia Palmerini, medico veterinario
Scuola CIMI-Koinè, email@example.com
The treated case is about an 8 year old labrador, which since 4 years displays a severe chronic lymphocytic dermatitis of the nose and a moderate hyperplastic gingivitis, which followed recurrent episodes of Malassezia otitis and exfoliative dermatitis. This improved only following the subministration of hypoallergenic diet and antibiotics.
Though the suspicion of atopic dermatitis, the patient never benefited from the subministration of corticosteroids and the weak ANA test reactivity resulted to be compatible with a deep cronic inflammation of the skin.
Before to undertake the allopathic therapy, the patient underwent a full haematology and biochemistry blood test, including seroproteine electrophoresis without highlighting any significative change but a moderate increase of hepatic enzymes (ALT AST).
The diagnosis has been carried out through histological exam of the lesion of the nose and a cytological exam of gingival mucosa, which have displayed no histopathological features such as the ones typical of immunomediated diseases, suggesting a diagnosis of cronic inflammatory form.
As mentioned previously, antibiotics therapy for systemic route has initially yielded good results, especially if associated to a hypoallergenic diet, but when such a treatment has been stopped the lesions on nose and gums deteriorated rapidly compromising the life of the patient who showed an even more pronounced state of nervosism due to pain as showed by long period of anorexia , restless and prostration.
After about one year of therapeutic attempts by allopathic medicine without appreciable results, we resorted to non conventional medicines , in particular omeopathy and fitotherapy.
During the first check carried out the following month, an improvement of the lesions on gum and nose has become apparent but the most significative feature has been the sharp change in the patient 's temper and his interaction wit the surrounding environment: the animal was more proactive, bright and alert with the appetite improved as well.
From a carefull examination of the case, by using the homeopathic "method of complexity" and repertorization, the remedy has been chosen and SILICEA diluted 6LM has been given to the patient. In dosage of 6 drops twice a day form 3 weeks,added with CALENDULA OFFICINALIS TM packs dilited in water and CALENDULA OFFICINALIS cream.
-needs support
Silicea has been chosen as a remedy related either to its thropism on the skin , or taking into consideration other mental attitudes as lazyness, need of contact and especially the insecurity and the necessity to be part always of an other group which always to refer to.
One of the most striking signs related to the improvement of the patient's mental state has been the sharp change in the interaction dynamics with the other dog with whom he lived with and grew up: after the administration of silicea he switched from an attitude of complete dependence to an attitude of challenge and even dominance, which never occurred in the past.
The patient is now defined by the owner as "bright and much more determined", he is more playfull and he's challenging to play even the other dog and always takes the lead anytime he wants something without waiting for the other to go ahead.
In february 2012 a further check has been carried out, which has shown a recent worsening of the lesions but nevertheless, the mental state was still stable.
We decided to repeat Silicea, to the diliution of 7LM 2 times a day, supplying with topic applications of hyperic oil and honey given in an alternate way.
Follow up shows the nose being quite improved ,gums back to normal, a good physical state and a stable mental demeanour with a patient initially lazy , listless and subdue, which now is defined by the owners as brilliant, alert and very proactive.

Treatment for Pyloric Stenosis in Babies
Pyloric stenosis is the narrowing of the passageway between the stomach and the duodenum, which is located at the beginning of the small intestine. A condition such as this can cause these various symptoms:
- Frequent and projectile vomiting after feeding
- Unrelenting hunger
- Excessive weight loss
- Dehydration
- Decreased activity
All these symptoms may not occur at the same time. Therefore, a symptom such as projectile vomiting may be considered as a one-time event and ignored. If in fact the child does have pyloric stenosis, this can prove to be dangerous since this condition needs immediate attention.
The narrowing of the passageway between the stomach and the duodenum can cause certain nerves to be compressed. So, sciatic nerve treatment can sometimes be helpful in pyloric stenosis cases. There also exist certain sciatica alternative remedies that can help in preventing and curing this condition.
Scientific studies have established that a diet rich in folic acid can minimize the risk of an abnormal birth. Nutritional supplements that contain Lactobacillus can also reduce the incidence of pyloric stenosis in babies.
There are various treatment options that one can choose from to adequately treat pyloric stenosis. Conventional drugs for pyloric stenosis only provide symptomatic treatment, and if the infant's condition worsens, surgery is advised.
As an alternate route, one can also choose herbal remedies. Supplements containing foliage of the dill plant and chamomile can be used for treating pyloric stenosis and is helpful for breastfeeding mothers and infants. Catnip, used in the past as a domestic remedy, can also be of great benefit.
Homeopathic remedies for pyloric stenosis vary based on the characteristics of the individual being treated. Mild mannered babies are prescribed phosphorus for frequent vomiting. Arsenicum album is advised for babies who are dehydrated, lethargic, and have chills. Bryonia is suggested in cases that claim that lying on the stomach provides relief. Slow developing babies with a delicate constitution tend to respond better when administered Silicea.
In addition, acupuncture and massages can be of great help for babies with pyloric stenosis. These treatments have no scientific evidence of curing the condition but can be very beneficial in post-operative care.
If neglected, pyloric stenosis can lead to extreme dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. This can also be fatal at times. If you suspect you baby may be suffering from some of the symptoms of pyloric stenosis, it is important to seek medical attention right away to ensure a speedy diagnosis, so that you can start exploring treatment options.

Tioga Psycho Genius 29er Tire
Inspired by the cornering prowess of the iconic Tioga Psycho line of tires and infused with an innovative approach to knob functionality. At this point it would be nuts to not run these knob-crazy rubbers on technical trails.
29 x 2.25
Threads Per Inch (TPI)
Synergy Dual Compound
801g (2.25)
Riding these tires on trails in the Phoenix, AZ area. These trails are brutal on tires, especially sidewalls. It amazes me how that little bit of texture on the side wall protects from cuts from sharp rocks. They corner great as well. Used to think I was to heavy to take corners to fast because I would always wash out when I was running Hutchinson Toro's, but once I put these Tioga's on I gained confidence quick once I realized I could carry more speed into corners. I love these tires and its a huge plus they are so cheap. Set them up to run tubeless using Stan's was simple and fast.
I live in a place notorious for destroying tires. Spending $80 or more on a tire is just not practical for me. I heard good things about the Psycho Genius and the price was right, but man has it exceeded my expectations. It rolls faster and hooks up better than other trail tires I've tried. Not to mention that it's held up longer than my previous 6?, 7?, 8? tires from every brand (Kenda, WTB, Maxxis, Specy, Panaracer). I've been running it on the rear of my full suspension, but I'll probably buy a few more of these for all applications.
these guys really inspire confidence in turns, and hold tight on the ups, but they aren't at their best in wet conditions. And they don't grip on asphalt very well (not that anyone should be wasting time riding their 29er on asphalt). All in all, recommended.

(LINDSAY) Retribution for a 10-4 thumping at the hands of the Cobourg Cougars evaded the Lindsay Muskies Tuesday (Jan. 22) night as the home team scored a back-breaker at the end of the second period en route to a 4-1 victory.
The game was off to a fast pace with some good penalty-killing and a few timely saves from Tanner Davis, but both teams were denied goals. When the second frame kicked off, it was the Muskies who managed to find the net first, with captain Dean Klomp tapping home a rebound at 2:16 for his 21st of the year from Vince Herlihey and Corey Jackson.
Cobourg went to their second power play shortly after and threw a ton of pressure at the Muskies with no success. The quick pace continued and the Cougars were finally able to convert a fast rush, ripping one past Mr. Davis at 11:51. Lindsay took the next penalty as well, and this time the Cougar power play burned them.
The Muskies came close to tying the match when William Pelletier made a couple of terrific moves in front of the goal leaving Louis-David Bourgault with a clear chance that he was unable to convert. Then Cobourg, literally, left things to the last second with a two-on-one, slipping the puck past Mr. Davis at 19:59.
The Cougars were definitely in shutdown mode as they started the third, clogging the defensive zone whenever they could while patiently waiting for a scoring chance. Despite their best efforts and power-play opportunity, Lindsay was denied, time and time again. Cobourg secured the insurance they were looking for at 16:39, and that's where it ended.
After the game, head coach Paul Mattucci said his team had some good stretches but simply did not sustain the play for the full 60 minutes.
"I thought we came out well in the second by grabbing that first goal, but we just couldn't get the second," stated Mr. Mattucci.
What didn't help the Muskies any was the fact that several key players were absent from the ice. William Sullivan has been out for a while and Cole Murduff has also missed a few games. Joining them on the sidelines was Matt McCartney.
The loss - which follows a 4-3 shootout loss to Stouffville Jan. 22 and 4-0 shutout over Pickering Sunday (Jan. 24) - drops Lindsay's record to 22 wins, 19 regulation losses, and four extra time losses.
The Muskies hit the road for the next two games - Friday (Jan. 25) in Wellington and Sunday (Jan. 27) in Newmarket - before returning home Feb. 1 against Trenton.

A new fire training center for York County will help improve fire protection throughout the county. The center is a better choice than spending $3.1 million in bond money for new fire substations in rural areas.
The county council last week gave unanimous approval to a final reading that earmarks $3.1 million for a new training center. The decision echoes the endorsement of county fire chiefs and the rural fire board, which oversees the county's 17 rural fire departments and administers money allocated by the council.
That money had first been designated for building substations. But since 2008, when that plan was put in place, both county officials and members of the firefighting community have questioned whether the money could be put to better use on a centrally located fire training center.
The county has outgrown the current training center on Ogden Road. The buildings there are outdated and the offices can't accommodate fire code inspectors and arson investigators who work there.
The county plans to build the new center off of McFarland Road, just south of York near a county landfill. The county already owns that property.
Initial estimates by a consulting firm on the cost of the new facility came in higher than expected. The consultants said the center, built in two phases, would cost around $6 million, including classrooms, a 12,500-square-foot shop, and a burn tower and building for simulating fires.
But the county is not committed to accepting that estimate, and local fire chiefs and county officials are looking at nearby fire centers and working with county engineers to find ways to pare the cost of the project. The county could reissue a call for proposals by the end of the year or early next year.
An adequate training center as well as a central place for fire officials to work and meet is essential to the county. The current center clearly does not meet the growing needs of county fire departments.
But while we endorse spending the bond money on the new center, we also acknowledge that new substations would be advantageous in many ways to the county.
First, they would bring fire protection closer to residents in the western part of the county. They also would substantially reduce the cost of insurance for homeowners who would be within five miles of a fire station once the substations were built. Those outside the five-mile perimeter of a substation pay nearly twice the amount those inside the circle do.
But critics note that many rural fire districts already have raised money themselves and used special tax dollars to build new substations. Using bond money to build substations in other areas would be unfair.
And in some cases the new substations would benefit only a few people in the sparsely populated areas of the county. The fire training center, by contrast, ultimately would benefit all residents.
More substations might be needed in the future, especially now that expansion of S.C. 5 has increased the potential for growth west of York. But for now, we think the council was right to make a new training center the top priority.

D-5000 for individuals desiring higher amounts of vitamin D supplementation
- Thorne's vitamin D is pure vitamin D without hidden ingredients – like lactose, BHT, BHA, sodium benzoate, and sorbic acid – that can be detrimental to sensitive individuals
- supports cardiovascular, immune, and bone health
It is essential to maintain healthy vitamin D levels throughout all stages of life, from fetal development to old age. Vitamin D helps protect a number of important functions in the body. The current recommended daily vitamin D intake of 400 IUs is based on the minimum allowance to protect against bone disease. However, an upward revision of the FDA's guideline is now under consideration in light of new research, especially pertaining to immune function. Cutting-edge research suggests serum vitamin D levels should be in the range of 32-80 ng/mL 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D). Although direct sunlight exposure is a good source of vitamin D, many people do not get enough sun due to season change, latitude, or lifestyle. Therefore, vitamin D supplementation can be of great benefit in these cases.
Vitamin D deficiency is quite common, particularly among the elderly. For example, a study conducted at a hospital in Glasgow, Scotland, found an almost universal vitamin D deficiency among a group of 548 elderly patients. Individuals deficient in vitamin D may need 5,000-10,000 IU of vitamin D daily to replenish tissue stores. With these individuals specifically in mind, Thorne's D-5,000 supplies 5,000 IU of pure vitamin D3 in each vegetarian capsule.
Some vitamins, because of their potency, are usually given in very small amounts. Examples of such "micro-dose" vitamins include vitamin D, vitamin K, and vitamin B12. Most dietary supplement manufacturers purchase "micro-dose" vitamins from raw material suppliers as premixed dilutions, meaning the vitamins (in powder form) are mixed with other powdered substances that in turn make it easier for the manufacturer to handle and mix a larger quantity of raw material. Unfortunately, the powdered substances used in these premixed dilutions frequently contain potentially detrimental ingredients such as lactose and also the preservatives BHT, BHA, sodium benzoate, and sorbic acid.
At Thorne Research, our promise is to give you the purest supplements humanly possible. Therefore, we do not purchase premixed dilutions of any "micro-dose" vitamins. Instead, we purchase pure, undiluted vitamins and create our own dilutions when it is necessary to do so, using pure, hypoallergenic powders, such as magnesium citrate or plant cellulose. The resultant premixture is then added to the dietary supplement being made, ensuring the proper amount of each pure nutrient is contained in each capsule
Take 1 capsule one to three times daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.
Microcrystalline cellulose, hypromellose (derived from cellulose) capsule, leucine, silicon dioxide, vitamin E (mixed tocopherols).
Tamper Evident: Use only if bottle is sealed.
If pregnant, consult your health care practitioner before using this product.

So you'll totally relate to When in Rome. The new film stars Kristen Bell as an ambitious, relationship-challenged New Yorker who takes a whirlwind trip to Rome. There she defiantly steals coins from a fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of the men who threw them in.
Her new suitors include a sausage magnate (Danny DeVito), a street magician (Jon Heder), an adoring painter (Will Arnett), and a self-admiring model (Dax Shepard). But when a charming reporter (Josh Duhamel) pursues her with equal zest, she'll have to determine if it's the work of the coins or the real thing.
Which is still easier than online dating.
When in Rome opens this Friday. Check local listings for showtimes.
