ALPENA - Registered nurses, retirees, and concerned community members held a rally in the rain at Duck Park on Monday to speak out against Alpena Regional Medical Center's contract offer. The nurses and community members spoke of their worries about how proposed cuts would affect patient care and the local economy.
"I put my heart and soul into my work," nurse Lori Mousseau said. "For them it's about money, for us it's about patient care and safety. Patients come before profits."
Michigan Nurses Association Executive Director John Karebian spoke of the community benefits the nurses at ARMC have provided over the years.

Nurses from Alpena Regional Medical Center and community members gathered on Monday, despite the rain, to rally against the ARMC contract offer.
"Nurses have always been here for the community. They help buy wheelchairs for the poor, backpacks for the kids at school, and presents for children at Christmas ... the nurses for years have done what's right for the community, and it's time for the hospital to stand back and let the nurses do their job." Karebian said. "MNA will stand with you and fight this."
The cuts also would affect health insurance for nurses and their families by making part-time nurses pay 50 percent of health care premiums for themselves and 100 percent for spouses and children, they said.
"I have five children ... and one of my sons has epilepsy. I work for a hospital and I can't afford medical insurance," nurse Bridget Forbes said. "I really appreciate the community support on this."
MNA Communications Director Dawn Kettinger said the nurses will continue to push for negotiations with the hospital.

NewsGraduate Creates Structure Specifically for Marlboro College Campus Gallery
Marlboro, VT (Feb. 7)—Sculptor and Marlboro graduate Kate Carr will build a site-specific structure in Marlboro College's Drury Gallery from Wednesday, February 21 to Friday, March 16.
Using transparent sailcloth and various sewing techniques, Carr's Home investigates ideas of home, location and longing.
Carr received the 2003 Outstanding Student Achievement in Sculpture Award from the International Sculpture Center and was a resident artist at The Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, Vermont and at the Harwood Museum in Taos, New Mexico. She completed both her M.A. and M.F.A. in sculpture at the University of Iowa.
Her work has been exhibited at Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, New Jersey, the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, the Urban Institute for Contemporary Art in Grand Rapids Michigan, box gallery in Santa Fe and the Kingston Gallery in Boston. Pictures of her work have been featured in Sculpture Magazine.
In addition to her installation exhibit, Carr will give a presentation about her work and working process on Tuesday, February 27 at 4:00 p.m. in Apple Tree.

Office of Volunteer Services
Dedicated to increasing service at Manchester University, OVS encourages community volunteerism
as an important part of the college experience. Some of the OVS duties
include documenting hours of service completed by MU Students, faculty,
and staff; planning service projects, events, and opportunities; recruiting students
to help with local service projects and organizations; and keeping
in touch with outside local agencies.
New Opportunities!!
The OVS has always had a listing online of available volunteer and service learning opportunities, but thanks to some hard work and organizing, it has now been updated with some new information! This information includes some new sites that hold multiple opportunities, as well specifics of each opportunity (such as how many hours would be asked of the volunteering student, what medical precautions if any need to be taken, and what exactly the task at hand requires of the students). Most of the listed opportunities are year round and on-going and include both on campus and off campus availabilities.
The goal of our new and improved page is to have a better outlet for students who are interested in volunteering within their community. With the details involved, students will find it easier to make decisions as to whether or not a site is acceptable for them, and then act upon that decision with the contact information provided. Also, some of the newer opportunities are group oriented, aimed at appealing to student groups to get involved in volunteer and service learning opportunities.
For more information, please visit our opportunities page, or e-mail email@example.com.
If you plan on volunteering at any of our sites or in anything that is related to the Office of Volunteer Services, please come to our office and fill out a Volunteer Waiver in order to keep the OVS and yourself safe. Thank you!

2133 Green Hills Village Dr, Nashville, TN | Directions 3721536.107845 -86.815731
M-Th 11-11, F 10:45-12:30, Sa 10:30-12:30, Su 10-11
Neighborhoods: Green Hills
This place has delicious cheesecake and fried macaroni! I also love their pasta carbonara! Delish! But i didn't have such a good experience from the last time i went there( just last month). I think the culprit was the dressing on the barbecue ranch chicken salad. Right after i ate it i felt really gassy and non stop kept going to the bathroom. But i would return, just not get that salad choice.
Pros:Cleanliness,Fried Macaroni,Cheescake,Location
Cons:Barbecue Chicken Salad
Only Good Cheesecakes – They should be good bakery and keep making cheesecakes and some other cakes. They don't know how to cook, and too "big" menu with trash taste!
bad cheesecake factory – i was so excited when nashville was getting a cheesecake factory because i love the ones i have visited in other areas. i have been to this cheesecake factory four times, and each time is worse. the service is horrible. the food is not up to par. each time i think maybe they have gotten new servers and management, but i get the same crappy service and lack luster food.
Over the top – The menu is quite extensive, the decor unique, the wait long, the accoustics poor, the prices HIGH, the portions too large. I'm glad I got to experience it once but probably won't return. I prefer smaller portions at a lower cost and a noise level where a table conversation may be enjoyed.
All Wrong – It's called CHEESECAKE factory, so what's with the gnarly cheesecake? It's light, fluffy, and icky sweet. Real NY cheesecake is dense, heavy, with a touch of sweetness. If you like REAL cheesecake, then you won't like this place. Don't even get me started on the food. It's like Ruby Tuesdays but with better garnishments. The menu is 321 pages long. It needs a table of contents. Then the waitress comes by. "Have you all decided what you want?" Give me a millineum and then come back. I might have gone through this ream of paper by then. Most restaurants try to specialize in something, but no, these jokers try to appeal to everyone, when really they appeal to nobody. They are like the Kia Rio of dining. Nobody wants that garbage. Food is sub-par. End of story.
ok food-terrible service – I went with my boyfriend a couple months ago. They said the wait would be 30 minutes but we waited at least an hour--I fell asleep on my boyfriends shoulder! When we were seated the waitress seemed bored and ready to get out of there. She got really agtitated with my boyfriend because she couldnt hear him over all of the nioise. The food was average and over priced. I got the four cheese pasta. The chocolate cake was ok too. All in all, save your money and go to cheeseburger charlies
I really like this place!!! – Everything is delicious!!! Many people think of Cheesecake Factory just for their cheesecake--which is quite amazing--but their meals are amazing, too! I lived in Boston for a while and really loved going to the restaurant there. When I moved to Nashville, I was excited to find out that Cheesecake was here, as well. The fried mac and cheese appetizer is my favorite...or maybe the spring rolls...or the quesadillas...or, well, anything you order is going to be wonderful. It gets really crowded, though. Enjoy the patio when the weather is pleasant (this time of year is perfect!). Enjoy!
Save your time...and money – 4 of us visited cheesecake factory yesterday around 6pm. Granted it was as Saturday, so we knew there would be at least an hour wait. We were surprised when we were told the wait was 15-30 minutes. But it actually took almost twice that long. It wouldn't have been a big deal except the crowd in there is like a mosh pit. Crowded doesn't really even describe it. People are pushing and elbowing trying to get in and out and there is no place to wait without being in the way. While we waited we noticed it was hot, but we figured it was because we were close to the front door and there were so many people...we were wrong. I never found out why there was no air conditioning because no one (including our waiter) gave us a chance to ask. It had to be at least 80-85 degrees in there. By the time we waited for our table, ordered and ate it was 3 hours. The food was mediocre, not worth the $200 for 4 people. We only saw the waiter for a total of 30 seconds and he was too busy to help us.
Bottom line: The only reason people will wait for an hour to sit in 85 degree heat drinking $13 mojitos is because it's Green Hills.
You will not be dissapointed! – My husband i went here on a special occasion and we loved it! I will say the waiting period to be seated is insane! It was packed so we just got put on the wait list and went next door to Starbucks to use some time up.When we finally were seated we were greeted by our very friendly and helpful server.I was a but overwhelmed my the size of the menu but that could be a good thing as well.Variety! The mixed drinks are highly recommended and so is the steak! One slice of chessecake is so big that we had to share.(the White Chocolate Cafe Latte Chessecake is delish!)
As good as it gets – It is great that there is free valet (minus the tip) since the parking lot is always full, but walking into the Cheesecake Factory takes your breath away. This restaurant is HUGE! The decor is extremely eclectic with hints of Egyptian and moroccan. The menu is so large that there is advertising in it which tends to be a distraction, but the serving staff was always there to help with questions. The cost of an entree seems high, but with portion sizes very large you can share or take it home then it's not so bad. If you can't find something you truly want here, then you shouldn't go out to eat. From beginning to end was just a great experience with great food and great people. Don't forget to save room for the Cheesecake!

Meanwhile members of the Department snorted coke off another's belly while the President's appointees took bribes and sold the country's resources to the highest bidder. There's moral high ground there? That's corruption. What you're alleging here is maybe poor decision making.

Hard to make out some of it, but basically the headline reads: "Car dips head under water", while the article states that the water levels in Cedar Rapids are lowering after the flooding and that about 27000 people are displaced by it.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Attorney General Scott Pruitt's Workers' Compensation Fraud Unit has filed charges against three co-workers from Tulsa.
Andrew Ozias, 21, Joshua Duckworth, 24, and Nathaniel McAlexander, 35, were each charged with one count of workers' compensation fraud. All three allegedly misrepresented the facts and circumstances related to the cause of their workplace injuries during their depositions.
According to the charges filed in Tulsa County District Court, Ozias, Duckworth and McAlexander, all filed workers' compensation claims in December 2011, alleging they were burned by a flash fire from a leaking gas torch while at work.
When a supervisor and a manager from the equipment company examined the scene, they found no gas tank leak, no sign of a fire or disturbance, and everything was in proper working order. Both stated that if there had been a leak, there would've been a distinct odor and the area nearby would've been covered with an oily soot residue.
A fourth person working near the three men that night didn't hear an explosion or see a fire. He also saw no evidence of an accident.
Following the alleged accident, another supervisor found a soot covered lighter, a pressure tank that stored gas, balloon fragments, a burned plastic container and hollow golf balls outside near the company's northwest entrance. During an inspection of employee lockers, employers found fireworks, a golf ball with a fuse inside, balloons and several hollow golf balls in McAlexander's locker. During an interview with investigators, McAlexander identified the items.
The Attorney General's Workers' Compensation Fraud Unit is the only Oklahoma law enforcement agency dedicated to the investigation and prosecution of workers' compensation fraud. The Unit also helps raise public awareness of fraud in Oklahoma.

The greatest conspiracy in modern history is not Watergate or the shooting of JFK; it's something far more ingrained and insidious in the way it distorts the truth. The conspiracy is marriage. It's not that I don't respect the institution and the belief I've cherished since childhood of what such a union could be. One heartbreaking and publicly failed marriage later, I actually revere marriage more at age 34 than I did as a blushing bride of 26.
The problem is that when a young woman announces her engagement, everyone is quick to roll out the matrimonial red carpet by throwing showers and obsessing over wedding day plans. This helps a bride prepare for the reality of marriage about as much as nine months of baby showers and nursery decorating prepare a gestating woman for the awesome task of raising a child: not at all.
Perhaps we are all guilty of holding on too tightly to our own Cinderella stories, thinking that the glass slipper of the perfect marriage will conform to us uniquely. Engagement, like pregnancy, is a fleeting and hopeful time, and those who have gone before hesitate to disrupt this dream with a dose of reality. So we carry a young woman toward the threshold of her new identity as wife and mother and abruptly drop her off at the curb, peeling out on two wheels with a honk and a wave and a wish for good luck.
Here is the truth as I see it: Marriage has the potential to erode the very fiber of your identity. If you aren't careful, it can tempt you to become a "yes woman" for the sake of salvaging your romantic dream. It can lure you into a pattern of pleasing that will turn you into someone you'll hardly recognize and probably won't like. I am warning you because I only wish someone had warned me.
The incredible disappearing woman
Ten years ago I never would have expected my life to turn out quite the way it did. At 24 I had bought my first house and was working for a high-tech company in Austin, Texas. I had adopted a dog named Jake from the pound and drove a cute little green Miata that I paid for in full. I was career-minded and single-minded. I was also headstrong and naive; I treasured my self-sufficiency so much that I scoffed at women who gave up their jobs, stayed home to take care of children or relied on men for anything.
Then I fell in love. I met Lance Armstrong, the Texas cyclist who was battling testicular cancer, at a press conference I'd planned for his foundation's first cancer fund-raiser. Soon I was joyfully sporting an engagement ring with a hefty rock the size of my dilated pupil in a darkroom. I was so enamored with my new stature as part of a couple that I paid more attention to my left hand than to readying my heart for the journey ahead. I quit my job, rented out my house, gave my dog to an old boyfriend, sold my car and moved to France so Lance could reenter the world of professional cycling. We got married and promptly had three children—a son and then twin daughters—who were breast-fed, toted between countries and utterly adored by their devoted, full-time, stay-at-home mommy. (So much for my scoffing.)

EXCELSIOR, Minnesota -- Hundreds of people kicked off the New Year with an icy plunge into a Minnesota lake while temperatures were five degrees below zero.
Organizers of the 23rd annual Ice Dive convinced more than 700 jumpers to take part in the tradition Tuesday morning. One of those souls was an 86-year-old man.
The money raised at the event helps out a Minnesota fitness and social club.

Wouldn't go back. Cages were stacked 3-4 high and didn't really have soft places for animals to lay down nor did it have any thing on the bottom so their little feet fall through. The owner doesn't make it very clear that she DOESN'T close at 5:30, but more around 3:30-4. I would NOT RECOMMEND going here. His cut doesn't look like a regular Yorkie cut.
GREAT PLACE! – We have two shetland sheepdogs and we have never found anyone who can groom them properly until we went to Di's. If you have shelties and are looking for a good place to take them for grooming, Di's is the place.
Worst Place ever... – I dont recommend bringing any animal here to be groomed...Owner is insane, lies to clients . Dogs look like crap when they leave and witnessed owner smacking dog because it was trying to bite. owner has NO IDEA how to treat her employees...Have witnessed owner telling an employee to SHUT UP just because she told the truth...Never a good thing.

At A Glance: Mobile, highly functional, and gorgeously designed, the Format File Pedestal is the perfect ingredient to complete your home office. The file drawer stores both legal and letter sized files, and real wood veneer injects class and warmth into the pedestal's design.
What's To Like: Every file pedestal has casters, but the Format Pedestal looks better than the rest of them. Personal opinion, of course, but just look at it - it's really really good looking.
What's Not to Like: It seems like BDI has thought of everything with this one. The only thing we can think of is that the pedestal's weight (it's made well) may make you want to get some strong folks to assist when it's first delivered.
The Bottom Line: The Format Mobile File Pedestal rests on locking casters and provides a storage drawer for supplies as well as a drawer for hanging letter or legal sized file folders. It's perfect for any home office or private office in the workplace.
The BDI Format Mobile File Pedestal is also known by the following manufacturer Item Number: 6307.
Viewing assembly instructions requires Adobe Reader. Download the latest version of Adobe Reader.
The Format Mobile File Pedestal is the third piece in the perfectly put together Format Office system. The desk, the credenza and this handier, smaller, more nimble file pedestal component unite to create an office system that meets the demands of the modern working day (and office, and life) with serenity, beauty, and calm confidence. Beautiful, well designed, thoroughly modern, and thoroughly useful, this is a truly impressive collection from Matthew Weatherly and BDI.
The Format Mobile File Pedestal is designed with the same elements that define the desk and the credenza. That is to say hard smooth surface with sharp clean lines, all in a variation of oak, or walnut and white satin laminate. It's up on rollers, just like the credenza, which makes it perfect for the busy contemporary office, where changing up the way you work, sit, or manage your time can be a weekly task.

No. 81: Iowa State
By Paul Myerberg // Jun 14, 2012
How does Iowa State win games? As a whole, the program has brought in only 10 four-star recruits since the 2003 recruiting cycle, according to Rivals.com. In comparison, Texas, a team Iowa State beat on the road in 2010, signed 15 four-star recruits on this winter's national signing day alone. The program has not finished better than second-to-last in the Big 12 team recruiting rankings since 2004. There's little that would lead one to believe that Iowa State, with little in its corner, could hang with the programs to which life comes easy. But there's coaching. Grit, perhaps? An underdog mentality tinged with a devil-may-care attitude, one that leads I.S.U. to engage its heavily-favored conference foes with guerrilla warfare, sneaking through the back door to win five, six, seven games. When the dust clears, the rest of the Big 12 asks the following question: How did Iowa State win six games? Sometimes, a team will ask: How did Iowa State beat us? If there was a way to bottle moxie, you'd see a picture of Paul Rhoads and the Cyclones on the label.

Last year's prediction
If Iowa State does disappoint in 2011 — and disappoint is a relative term — it will not be because of a lack of fortitude; it will be because, simply put, the Cyclones don't have the horses. You don't want to make the schedule an excuse, as this is life in the new-look Big 12. But the Cyclones do jump into 2011 with force, facing seven consecutive bowl teams after Northern Iowa and closing with three more. It doesn't add up to a successful season. Take solace in the fact that the Cyclones will play hard every Saturday, and will probably beat one team they shouldn't.
2011 recap
In a nutshell Fast-forward a decade. What are the five things all will remember from the 2011 season? Alabama's title. Alabama's loss to L.S.U. two months before. Robert Griffin III lighting up the world. Penn State, of course. What about Iowa State's win over Oklahoma State? In terms of the unexpected, I'm not sure if another win comes close – though the happenings in Happy Valley remains the most devastatingly unexpected event to happen in the recent history of college sports. In terms of one regular season game that impacted the B.C.S., there's no other win that comes close. Imagine if O.S.U. wins on that Saturday evening in November – aren't the Cowboys meeting L.S.U. in New Orleans in January? Perhaps no other win altered the landscape of college football in 2011. And for Iowa State, the win was the difference between a return to bowl play and a second straight bowl-free season. Unexpected? Yes. But when it comes to I.S.U. football under Rhoads, it's safe to expect the unexpected.
High point Yes, the win over Oklahoma State. But don't sleep on another overtime win, this one on Sept. 10: Iowa State 44, Iowa 41. The victory was Rhoads' first against the rival Hawkeyes after losing his first two tries by a combined score of 70-10.
Low point The defense was horrible over the first four games of conference play. Texas scored 37 points in its win; typically, it took Texas two games to get to 37 points. Baylor dropped 49 points a week later, Missouri 52 points a week after that, and A&M sealed Iowa State's 0-4 start to Big 12 action with a 33-17 win in Ames.
Tidbit Five of Iowa State's six wins last fall came by six points or less. Two, Oklahoma State and Iowa, came in overtime. If you include a 41-7 win over Texas Tech on Oct. 29, the Cyclones' average margin of victory was 10.2 points; if you take the Red Raiders out of the equation, the average margin of victory falls to 3.4 points. In comparison, Iowa State's seven losses came by an average of 19.7 points. Only one of those seven defeats, a 30-23 decision to Kansas State in the regular season finale, came by less than 14 points.
Tidbit (Oklahoma State edition) Three more notes on the win over Oklahoma State. The Cowboys scored 24 points during regulation, with one touchdown coming on a pick-six. O.S.U. averaged 50.2 points per game over the remaining 12 games on its schedule – all wins, of course. The Cowboys' five turnovers tied a program high in Big 12 games over the last five years, matching a five-giveaway game against Texas in 2009. Finally, I.S.U. ran an astounding 97 plays during regulation, keeping the potent O.S.U. offense on the bench for more than 35 minutes of game time.
Tidbit (spreads edition) The Cyclones are used to being the underdog. According to the university – and I'm not sure what spread-maker it's using – Iowa State was an underdog in 11 of its 12 games against B.C.S. conference competition in 2011. That shouldn't change in 2012: One site, Beyond the Bets, has I.S.U. favored in only one Big 12 game, against Kansas. The Cyclones are four-point favorites in that one, but are listed as the underdog in home games against Texas Tech (-6), Kansas State (-7.5), Baylor (-3.5), Oklahoma (-20) and West Virginia (-10). When it comes to road games, I.S.U. is a heavy underdog against T.C.U. (-20.5), Oklahoma State (-19) and Texas (-21).

Paul Rhoads (Missouri Western '89), 18-20 after three seasons with the Cyclones. No rookie coach had a better season in 2009 than Rhoads, who led Iowa State to a shocking seven-win campaign — with all of it guaranteed, of course. He couldn't duplicate that feat in 2010, when I.S.U. slid to 5-7 overall, but Rhoads led the Cyclones back into bowl play last fall. Obviously, the I.S.U. administration should be extremely pleased with 18 wins over three years. Born only 10 minutes from Iowa State's Jack Trice Stadium, his hiring marked a homecoming of sorts for Rhoads, who also spent five seasons as an Iowa State assistant (1995-99) under Dan McCarney. Rhoads spent the 2008 season as the defensive coordinator at Auburn, where he piloted a Tiger defense that allowed an average of only 17.3 points (15th nationally) and 165.4 passing yards; his defense couldn't be blamed for Auburn's poor 2008 season. Before his one-year stint with the Tigers, Rhoads spent eight seasons as the defensive coordinator at Pittsburgh, serving under Walt Harris and Dave Wannstedt. His defenses, typified by stout run stuffers and aggressive defensive backs, have frequently ranked among the top 25 in the country. Like his predecessor before him, Rhoads brought a very good defensive resume to Ames. What separated him from the start was the sense that he is in for the long haul. I'm not sure if there's a coach easier to root for in the Big 12, if not the entire B.C.S. conference landscape.
Tidbit (coaching edition) Iowa State has two new faces on its coaching staff. First, a change in title: Courtney Messingham, formerly the wide receivers coach, takes over Ohio State-bound Tom Herman's duties as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Don't look for Messingham to change anything; the Cyclones will remain no-huddle and up-tempo. Rhoads hired former Washington State coordinator Todd Sturdy to coach the wide receivers – and look for Sturdy to help Messingham with the Cyclones' quarterbacks and in the passing game. I.S.U. also named former North Carolina defensive backs coach Troy Douglas to the same position, replacing Bobby Elliott, who left the program in January to join Brian Kelly's staff at Notre Dame. Rhoads didn't have many spots to fill, but he certainly made the most of the opportunity.
Players to watch
Perhaps Messingham can help I.S.U. convert via the running game on short-yardage downs, even if that takes moving the quarterback under center in certain situations. While a fairly strong running team overall in 2011 – 39th nationally in yards per game – the Cyclones struggled in this area: the running game converted a hair more than 50 percent of its chances on third down and six or fewer yards, which is not a good conversion rate. Given the uncertainty in the passing game, where the Cyclones are far too prone to turnovers, an ability to move the chains on third-and-short could lift this offense to new heights.
That's a nice way to segue into talk of the offensive line. Iowa State's front is missing two major contributors: Kelechi Osemele at left tackle and Hayworth Hicks at right guard. It's far from a stretch to say that Osemele left Ames as the finest offensive lineman in school history. A former JUCO transfer, Hicks moved into the starting lineup immediately in 2010, starting 24 games overall and earning second-team all-conference honors as a senior. They leave huge holes at two vital positions.
One aside: I.S.U. was unlucky to suffer a few nicks and bruises along the line last fall, which did strain the team's depth – especially later in the year. That several younger linemen earned time last fall is a major positive heading into 2012, even if Osemele and Hicks will be hard to replace. A key factor inside will be the play of sophomore center Tom Farniok, who won't land the same sort of support as he did as a rookie starter. He'll improve, but Farniok must improve to the point where he can handle interior defensive linemen one-on-one. He'll be joined inside by left guard Ethan Tuftee, a returning starter, and, for now, sophomore Jacob Gannon at right guard. Another sophomore, Shaban Dika, could push Gannon for snaps if he makes a rapid recovery from a springtime knee injury.
I.S.U. also has options at tackle, even if – and not to continue harping on this point – none are Osemele-like, or perhaps even Osemele-lite. Senior Carter Bykowski and junior Kyle Lichtenberg are battling for the starting job at left tackle while senior Brayden Burris remains in the starting lineup on the right side. But if Bykowski nails down Osemele's old spot, Lichtenberg has improved enough to push Burris for snaps on the strong side. However, Burris, who played with a plate in his broken leg last season, is one guy I.S.U. wants to have in the starting lineup.
The offensive front will be blocking for a few accomplished returning backs, led by junior James White (743 yards and 8 touchdowns), last year's leading rusher. White will continue to be the Cyclones' top back until junior Shontrelle Johnson (247 yards) recovers from last season's neck injury; he was lost for the year after four games, pushing White into the starting lineup.
If Johnson doesn't return, I.S.U. will need one of two redshirt freshmen, DeVondrick Neal and Rob Standard, to lend the running game a missing dose of explosiveness. One thing that won't change: Jeff Woody (380 yards, 6 touchdowns) will remain Iowa State's big back. In a perfect world, Johnson is back in the lineup by September, either starting or splitting carries with White. In a nearly-perfect world, Johnson remains sidelined but one of the two freshmen fill the void.
A steady stream of incoming talent at wide receiver has given I.S.U. its best depth at the position in years. What the group lacks, however, is a big-play threat. That's not such a debilitating fact as it might be elsewhere, given how the offense spreads the ball around; nevertheless, I.S.U. could use a big year out of senior Josh Lenz (39 catches for 510 yards), the lone returning starter. Injuries were a bit of an issue in the spring, but by the time I.S.U. kicks off in September, Lenz will be joined in the starting lineup by senior Aaron Horne (38 for 431), the Big 12's Offensive Newcomer of the Year last fall, and sophomore Jarvis West (25 for 141).
Several other receivers will make double-digit grabs. One is junior Albert Gary (23 for 287), who came up huge in the win over the Cowboys. Another is senior Chris Young, though he sat out most of the spring with a concussion. Also: redshirt freshmen Quenton Bundrage, Ja'Quarius Daniels and Tad Ecby, not to mention converted quarterback Jerome Tiller – remember him against Nebraska in 2009? – who could fill a role in the red zone. While I.S.U. wants to get more out of its tight ends in the passing game, Messingham can take solace in the fact that seniors Kurt Hammerschmidt (13 for 126) and Ricky Howard provide wonderful support in the running game. If I.S.U. wants a pass-catcher, that should open up a role for former JUCO transfer Ernst Brun.
Unlike in 2009, Iowa State did not squeeze into bowl play last fall on the back of its defense. While not the worst group in the Big 12, or even among the worst three groups in the league, last year's defense struggled mightily against the Big 12's upper crust of offenses – Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Missouri and Baylor averaged 549.0 yards per game on the Cyclones. The run defense was an issue throughout, but one thing last year's defense did reasonably well was defend the pass; only one conference foe – and one team altogether – threw for more than 290 yards, and that's a pretty impressive feat when considering the quality of quarterback play in last season's Big 12.
The secondary will have a somewhat different look in 2012. The Cyclones must replace a pair of starters in strong safety Ter'Ran Benton and cornerback Leonard Johnson; the latter was a second-team all-Big 12 selection as a junior and senior. Another aside: Rhoads always seems to have a transition plan in place. That's the case in the secondary, where the likely replacements for Benton and Johnson have played enough over the last two or three years to make a fairly painless move into the starting lineup.
Junior cornerback Jansen Watson (12 tackles) started one game a season ago in addition to serving as the Cyclones' first cornerback off the bench. He'll replace Johnson, joining senior Jeremy Reeves (70 tackles, 2 interceptions) in the starting lineup. Benton will be replaced by senior Durrell Givens (31 tackles), a key secondary reserve who moves over from free safety. That position change will team Givens with free safety Jacques Washington (90 tackles), putting Iowa State's two best safeties on the field at the same time. I.S.U. also has some quality depth, though most comes at cornerback – JUCO transfer Clifford Stokes, sophomore Matt Thomas and redshirt freshmen Sam Richardson and Kenneth Lynn, for example. Even if the Cyclones' pass defense takes a step back, it won't be a substantial decline.
The defensive line must do a better job getting pressure on the quarterback, and must do so while breaking in three new starters. The one returning starter, senior Jake McDonough (35 tackles, 4.5 for loss), will move into Stephen Rueompolhamer's spot at nose tackle. What the Cyclones need is a healthy Roosevelt Maggitt; a projected starter at end, where I.S.U. must replace Jake Lattimer and Patrick Neal, Maggitt is still recovering from the knee injury that ended his 2011 season after one game. I.S.U. went with junior Willie Scott at end during the spring, but Maggitt's past experience makes him an invaluable piece of the puzzle on this defense.
When all locked and loaded, the Cyclones' defensive front will have Maggitt and sophomore David Irving at end, McDonough on the nose and senior Cleyon Laing (12 tackles) at tackle. If Maggitt remains slowed by his knee injury, I.S.U. can either hand his job over to Scott or redshirt freshman Devin Lemke, who is currently running behind Irving on the opposite side. The big question: Can I.S.U. get pressure with just four rushers? Irving is a blossoming talent, McDonough a steady presence inside – albeit one changing positions – and when healthy, Maggitt can produce. But the line as a whole is a question mark.
Saving the best for last: I.S.U. has the best one-two linebacker combination that is never raised in discussions of the best one-two linebacker combinations in college football. Quick: Name the Big 12's co-Defensive Players of the Year in 2011. If you named Oklahoma end Frank Alexander, nice job. If you named Alexander and Iowa State linebacker A.J. Klein, you're a loyal reader. Klein (116 tackles, 7.5 for loss), a senior, is a Midwestern linebacker straight out of central casting – a big, tough, strong, mobile run-stuffer who will surprise you with his overlooked athleticism. How good is he? Klein is good enough to put this defense on his back, carrying an otherwise questionable front seven into competition against the top slice of the Big 12.
And he's just one part of one of the nation's best linebacker corps, joining fellow senior Jake Knott (115 tackles, 2 interceptions), a second-team all-Big 12 pick a season ago. Irreplaceable? Without a doubt. The Cyclones go as far defensively as this pair takes them; without Klein and Knott, Iowa State moves from average defensively into Kansas territory – if not that bad, then somewhere among the bottom 20 defenses in college football. Awesomely efficient, Klein and Knott form the most proven and productive linebacker pairing in college football. I don't think I'd trade them for any other pair. While Knott will remain on the weak side, I.S.U. will move Klein from the strong side into the middle to replace Matt Tau'fo'ou. That'll open up the strong side to either sophomore C.J. Morgan or junior Deon Broomfield.
I.S.U. has a very nice punter in junior Kirby Van Der Kamp, an honorable mention all-Big 12 pick last fall. But there's reason for concern at kicker, even if lost starter Zach Guyer was far from automatic as a senior – though he had his moments. Redshirt freshman Chris Moore and sophomore Mitch Amundson handled kicking duties during the spring, but both are expected to take a back seat to incoming freshman Cole Netten, a summertime arrival. A kicker is a kicker, and freshmen can easily step right in and deliver consistency from day one. Nevertheless, the situation is cause for a sleepless night – more than one, perhaps.
Position battle(s) to watch
Quarterback I can't shake the feeling that we've all been here before. Oh, right. Steele Jantz and Jared Barnett were jostling for the starting job last spring. And again last August. And again for much of last season. Well, here we go again. Whether by choice – because he really is unsure as to which is the better option – or for motivational purposes – he wants both to play as if they're in the race – Rhoads declined to name a starting quarterback at the end of spring ball, opting to head into the summer and fall camp with a two-horse race still very much underway. Again, it'll be Jantz and Barnett – or Barnett and Jantz, depending on which horse you're pulling for, I suppose.
So what separates one from the other? Both won three games as the starter in 2011. Each won one big game in overtime; Jantz topped Iowa, Barnett topped Oklahoma State. Both were far too prone to turnovers. Both lacked optimal experience; Jantz was a first-year JUCO transfer, Barnett a redshirt freshman. Jantz is a little flashier, though Rhoads is not looking for flash – he wants consistency. That's gives Barnett a slight edge, you'd think. And what about redshirt freshman Sam Richardson? For now, he's running a distant third in the competition.
It's going to come down to Jantz and Barnett. If he can cut down on his poor decisions and play more within himself and this offense, Jantz likely gives I.S.U. the best chance at winning games in 2012. If it was that easy, of course, Jantz would start for most teams in college football – he's a gunslinger, one who makes one awful play for every two jaw-dropping plays, and he could stand to keep his pistol in his holster for the good of the offense as a whole. If Barnett can limit his turnovers, both interceptions and fumbles, he might give I.S.U. its best chance at consistent play under center. As you can see, Rhoads has a tough choice to make. Look for one to get the starting nod in August but both to play throughout the year. Who starts in September might not finish in November.
Game(s) to watch
The schedule is no picnic. Iowa State's non-conference slate features Tulsa, Iowa and Western Illinois. A 3-0 mark would be optimal, of course, but 2-1 seems like the best-case scenario. One thing the schedule does allow for is the opportunity for a nice start: I.S.U. gets four home games over the first half – with road dates against Iowa and T.C.U., however – before entering the meat of Big 12 play. In terms of must-win games, the Cyclones can't afford to finish worse than 4-1 against the following: Tulsa, Western Illinois, Texas Tech, Baylor and Kansas. Anything less than that would leave this team as a decided underdog to reach bowl play. The Cyclones love being the underdog, however.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell Anyone pegging this team for a three-win season knows nothing about Iowa State football. The Cyclones are too well-coached, have too much experience, do the little things too well and enjoy the challenge far too much – an unhealthy amount, almost – to win only three games. Reaching a third bowl game in four years, on the other hand, might present too much of a hurdle for even this program to overcome. But why not? I.S.U. will get better quarterback play. There's solid depth at wide receiver. Rhoads and his staff are high on the two redshirt freshmen at running back. The linebacker corps is absolutely superb. The transition plan in place in the secondary should allow the Cyclones to come fairly close to matching last year's solid numbers against the pass. Above all else, I.S.U. always, always beats one team it shouldn't. So why can't this team do it again, overcoming all the doubters to squeeze into bowl play with six wins? I think it can, though I don't think it will. There are some fairly significant holes to replace along the offensive line – no longer can the Cyclones simply rely on Osemele and Hicks to handle blockers one-on-one. The new-look defensive line needs to prove it can do a better job stopping the run while getting pressure on third down. The kicking game is a concern, though I.S.U. will get solid production at punter and in the return game. And the doubters are onto one thing: I.S.U. is going to have a hard time against this conference schedule. I think that the Cyclones are going to get to five wins in an ugly fashion, beating two or three teams late and knocking off a heavily-favored opponent, but a bowl trip will be hard to achieve. It's hard out there for an underdog.
Dream season Iowa State wins eight games: Tulsa, Iowa, Western Illinois, Texas Tech, Kansas State, Baylor and Kansas. Is that only seven? The eighth win comes over then-No. 1 Oklahoma, of course.
Nightmare season I.S.U. goes 3-9, beating Tulsa and Western Illinois in September but only Kansas once the calendar turns to Big 12 play. The three wins marks the program's fewest in a season since he-who-shall-not-be-named sulked the sidelines at Jack Trice Stadium.
In case you were wondering
Where do Iowa State fans congregate? There are three good Iowa State fan sites: Cyclone Fanatic, Cyclone Report and Cyclone Sports Report. One of the latter two needs to switch its name to avoid confusion. For a blog's take, check out the always-strong Wide Right and Natty Lite.

Iowa State is somewhere in the 50s nationally on talent level. You have the dynamic backwards. They don't get six wins with "magic." They only get six wins because they play a tough schedule. Put them in the Big East or ACC and they win nine or ten.
Seems like we're finally to Oregon State.
Didn't Iowa State beat Oklahoma State on a Friday?
Barnett is a player. Have seen him will his teams to wins since his high school days. A true dual threat qb, he engineered that OSU upset as a freshman. Rhoads needs to go with him.

The handover of one or more satellites from one control center to the other is a complex process which needs to be prepared thoroughly. The mission safety needs to be ensured and potential risks must be minimized. In general, a mission handover is performed in 3 phases:
The preparation normally takes some months. According to a corresponding handover plan, the required boundary conditions need to be fulfilled. The receiving control center has to pass all tests and simulations successfully in order to get qualified for the flight operations. Technical equipment and personnel must be ready for action. Beyond that, the required data and information and its exchange is to be defined for a smooth handover. These data comprise the latest flight procedures and data bases, configuration information of space and ground segment components etc. When all conditions are fulfilled, details about the handover and the timing are agreed. Therefore a procedure is generated which can be followed during the handover.
In our particular case, the preparations were easier than for the first handover to GSOC some months ago. The Swedish control center was already qualified and a few successful proficiency passes during the last days have confirmed this. Respecting the experiences from the first handover we already knew the relevant aspects for PRISMA and which data and information were needed for s smooth transfer. Thus the previous plan and procedure could be used with some adaptations.
The handover itself is only a short step. The providing control center performs the final activities with the satellite and creates the handover data package for the receiver, who in best cases already receives telemetry data which allows following the actions of the others. During a teleconference, the remaining open points are discussed. Finally, both sides agree the formal handover of operational responsibility. The receiving control center will start performing the operations from the next ground station contact on.
For PRISMA we had agreed with Sweden to perform our final activities on 23.08.2011 morning. After the handover teleconference, Solna took over the mission operations with the first afternoon passage over Kiruna ground station. We at GSOC received telemetry in parallel but where no longer actively involved.
After execution of a handover, the providing control center normally stays in standby in order to take over the operations again in case of problems on short notice. The creation of a handover report completes the handover process.
In our case a special standby support was not requested by Sweden since both satellite were returned back to their home control center.
With today's re-handover of the PRISMA space segment to Sweden, the mission itself is not yet finished for GSOC. One main experiment which could not be performed within the available time frame is still to be done. Negotiations are ongoing if the mission returns back to GSOC for the experiment or if is performed from Solna supported by GSOC personnel.

Atlanta >Food & Dining > Highland Bakery
655 Highland Ave NE, Atlanta, GA | Directions 3031233.761233 -84.366107
Mon - Fri, 7am - 4pm; Sat, Sun, 8am - 4pm
Neighborhoods: Northeast, Old Fourth Ward, Northeast
The original. The best. The brunch.
This is just a special place for me. They have the best cupcakes in the city and I think that I am addicted to it. I always stop by here after work to buy some.
Come here during the week... – Good choices for breakfast, however I would recommend avoiding highland bakery on the weekends. It is very crowded and usually has a long wait; however, if you come here during the week there is never a wait and the restaurant has a different feel to it. Love the wait staff and the food is consistently good.
I wish I'd never met her... – I'm just copying and pasting the email I wrote and never recieved a response to. Which is just bad form. When we first walked in, we thought this would be our regular lunch place. Alas.
Monday Lunch
Friday, June 4, 2010 2:53 PM
To: _________@highlandbakery . com
I visited your restaurant for the first time on Monday. My friend and I were delighted to find that you were open on the holiday!
The desserts you create are beautiful and the restaurant is very cute so we had high hopes.
Unfortunately, our dining experience was not completely pleasurable. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Our problem was solely with the food. We ordered a dish of black beans and grits. The beans were vinegary and left a really unpleasant aftertaste.
She ordered cilantro corn pancakes. The dish was really pretty, but it was also really under-seasoned. Honestly, they didn't taste all that different from a regular pancake. The most flavorful part of the salsa. Which was weird because usually cilantro-anything packs a punch.
Also, I had a crab burger. I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately, the burger was not composed of "lump meat". The meat was minced into such tiny pieces it was hardly more than a paste. It was also completely flavorless and if the menu hadn't said it, I would have never guessed it was crab. The texture of the burger was only made stranger by the little mustard seeds throughout it. The bread was good though.
On a high note I did have some wonderfully prepared zucchini and squash. I'm grateful for that, because otherwise I would've left almost as hungry/unsatisfied as I was when I arrived.
Before I left I debated speaking with a manager, but I decided to think it over. I only decided to contact you, because it (the crab burger especially) might be an irregular occurrence or something that you haven't noticed yet.
Best wishes,
Brunch used to be very good at this place. Now it's slowly deteriorating. The food isn't as good as it used to be and the hostess can be rude at times.
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE – I must say the food their is good.. I gave it a 1 star because the SERVICE IS TERRIBLE.. I feel they don't really care about their service to the customers because they are really busy.. Well as I have visited the place serveral times. My last visit was so horrible, it made me write this review..
1st they tried to sit me and my partner in this corner where the table was crammed , we would have had to squeeze in it to sit at the table .. So I went back to the front informed the hostess that we would rather wait on another table.. Well they said we can sit you at the bar, we were hungry after waiting 30 minutes for table.. so the bar was fine.. When we sat down they took our drink order, then came back about 10minutes later to take our food order.. We place our order.. and waited 30 minutes.. minutes no food.???? we decided to wait 10 more minutes ... still no food?? so after 40 minutes.. we left. I told the manager at the door we were leaving because we had been waiting 40 minutes an our food is not out.. He looked at us and said "ok".... he didnt apologize or anything... So that tells me THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR PATRONS , BECAUSE THEY HAVE ENOUGH BUSINESS... WELL THEY WILL NOT GET MY BUSINESS EVER AGAIN.
Simply the Best – Breakfast is probably the least respected meal of the day…. that is unless you're including Taco Bell's notorious '4th meal' in your list… people skip it, look past it and sometimes even look down on it. Heck for breakfast to get any love or respect it has had to form a tenuous partnership with lunch, bringing us brunch. Luckily for us ATLiens, there is one place in the city that is doing breakfast, and its cousin brunch, justice like no other place in town: Highland Bakery.
Highland Bakery has one of the most creative and inviting menus you'll ever see in a breakfast or brunch spot. And even more impressive; everything is executed well. Yes for the traditionalists there's the standard eggs, bacon and toast. But its for those more adventurous diners that the bakery truly begins to shine. Try the cilantro corn cakes, the peanut butter french toast or for something that will truly have you in breakfast ecstasy: the sweet potato pancakes; hands down the best in town! And oh yeah, this is a bakery afterall, so don't forget to try a tasty cupcake or cinnamon roll on your way out, cause yes, Highland Bakery does them well too.
Hotmess Highland Bakery – After several visits to this restaurant, I've given up. Today, we arrived at 1:00pm for brunch for a table of 3. After a 45 minute wait for a table, the host kept seating tables of 2 only. He couldn't figure out that pushing two 'couples' tables together could seat 3 sooner than having to wait for a table that sat 4 people.
We left and we will NOT be back again. Although the food is tasty, it is SO NOT worth the wait. There are plenty of other better restaurant options in Inman Park. It still surprises me that patrons of this establishment tolerate such low standards. In this economy, restaurants should be falling over themselves to accommodate the very people who keep them in business.
Good luck Highland Bakery. You'll need it!
A breakfast-lunch spot for the well-groomed VaHi crowd. – In Short
Within the long, slender brick building lays a bustling city bakery serving up desserts in one room, and full on foods in the light and airy dining room. The mid-sized, smooth concrete bar is perfect for the lone diner and the small tables with silver chairs give the room a modern day diner feel for their breakfast and lunch service. The mammoth-sized peanut butter French toast with caramelized bananas could feed a small army, and the unique, fluffy ricotta pancakes are served with sweet and tangy blueberry compote to the massive weekend brunch crowd. Plenty of vegetarian-friendly dishes are available including substitutes like soysage and tofu. The breads and pastries are fresh and tasty, but if you want for cinnamon roll served warm, it will be nuked. Fair warning.
Poor overall quality, getting a bit old... – I used to be a fan of this neighborhood cafe, but the quality has been letting me down lately...
Chipped plates, poorly presented food, overcooked & cold eggs... and less than happy wait staff.
It's time for me to find a new brunch place.
Ignore the comments of the perpetually bitter – What can i say about Highland Bakery other than the food is AMAZING! The service is spotty at best (but hello this is Atlanta) - they are as good as anywhere else. The food is AMAZING!!!! I am about the pickiest person in the whole damn world but you wont find a better breakfast this cheap (if you think this is overpriced head on over to the Buckhead Diner or its Sister Brunch Establishment across the street) anywhere ITP or OTP.
I think the people who left nasty comments must have had someone urinate in their cereal because I have been to the Highland Bakery many many times (almost every Sunday) and have never ever had a meal less than amazing. The Jalape?o Focaccia Bread is to DIE FOR! Ignore the bitter and go let your tastebuds have a PARTY!!!

Valves and water before power.
My water pump on my boiler is making noise. I was going to change it out. It is an American Standard with a Gossit pump. On the zone manifold there are drain valves. Before changing pump, I was going to shut off water supply to the boiler, then open up drain valves to relieve the pressure and then change out the pump. After installing the pump before I turn power back on to the pump, do I turn the water supply to the boiler and open the drain valves to let air out, or turn power on first, then open up the water and drain valves........thanks .......Karl
Valves and water before power.
First find out WHY the pump is making noises. If it is an old 100 series, it could just be a worn coupler, and possibly also need new motor mounts. Replacing these items does not require doing ANYTHING to the water in the system.

NEW YORK — More evidence of an improving job market helped lift the stock market Thursday.
The Labor Department reported that the four-week average of applications for U.S. unemployment benefits has fallen in the past month to its lowest point since October 2007, two months before the Great Recession officially began.
Also, a survey from the payroll company ADP showed that American businesses added 176,000 jobs in August, fewer than in June and July but roughly in line with the monthly average for the year.
The encouraging news came one day before the government releases its closely watched report on job growth for August. Many investors believe that strong growth will ensure that the Federal Reserve will start to reduce, or "taper," its bond-buying program later this month.
The U.S. central bank is buying $85 billion in bonds a month to keep long-term interest rates low and to stimulate the economy.
As well as supporting stock prices, the reports helped push the yield on 10-year Treasury notes to 3 percent, the highest level since July 2011.
Thursday's employment news means that "the Fed probably lays out a tapering schedule in September," said Phil Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated Investors.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 6.61 points, or less than 0.1 percent, to 14,937.48. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose two points to 1,655.08.

Who needs plastic surgery, make-up and beauty regiments when you can just buy a whole new face in the form of a mask? The Uniface mask comes with cell-binding glue and features big anime eyes, long lashes, a perfect nose, contoured cheeks, and a narrow chin – an all-in-one product for a lifetime's worth of confidence.
But, it's not what you think. Uniface, developed by Zhuoying (Joy) Li, a design and technology graduate of Parsons The New School for Design, created the mask and an accompanying website as her thesis project last year in response to the pressures women face regarding the "never-ending quest to adhere to society-set beauty standards."
Raised in China, Joy was motivated to create Uniface by the many young Chinese women who she says suffer negative self-esteem due in part to how the "media has manipulated women's desire to have the same extreme facial features."
"The longer I stay in the U.S., the more important I feel individuality is regarding facial appearance, which is the opposite in China," she said. "A large number of Chinese women are overdoing make-up and plastic surgery and increasingly look like clones of each other. Uniface is intended to raise the awareness of this beauty issue, and to make women rethink about what they are doing to themselves."
Would a world full of Unifaces make you feel a bit uncomfortable?

The Clark's Sights and Sounds Series Concludes with the Julliard-Trained Amernet String Quartet on August 26
For Immediate Release
August 07, 2008
The Julliard-trained Amernet String Quartet, described by The New York Times as "an accomplished and intelligent ensemble," will perform on August 26 at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in the last concert of the Tuesday evening series of art, food, and music. The concert begins at 8 pm and a prix-fixe dinner at 6 pm in the Clark Café will be offered prior to the performance. The Clark's galleries will remain open until 6 pm providing a chance to view the exhibition Like Breath on Glass: Whistler, Inness, and the Art of Painting Softly. Concert tickets are $18 ($15 for Clark members) and can be purchased at www.clarkart.edu, at the Clark's museum shop, or by calling 413-458-0524. Cost for dinner is $23 per person (does not include beverage, tax, or gratuity) and reservations are required; call 413-458-0524.
The Amernet String Quartet, formed in 1991 while two of its members were students at The Juilliard School, is currently in residence at Florida International University. Founding members Marcia Littley and Javier Arias have been joined by fellow Juilliard graduates violinist Misha Vitenson and violist Michael Klotz. Their busy performance schedule has taken the group across the United States, and they also have performed in Japan, Canada, Germany, France, Switzerland, Korea, Mexico, and Romania. The group has recorded for the Gasparo, New World, and Centaur labels. Gold Medal winners of the 1992 Tokyo International Music Competition, they also won First Prize at the 5th Banff International String Quartet Competitions. The Amernet String Quartet has garnered worldwide praise and recognition as one of today's exceptional string quartets.
For the August 26 concert, the Amernet String Quartet will premiere the ninth quartet by Williamstown composer Stephen Dankner. This work, written in October 2007, is in four movements with a very energetic opening, Allegro molto appassionato, followed by two middle movements that have the character of intermezzi: a waltz movement followed by a brief vivace scherzo. The finale is an elaborate and weighty slow movement. The work was written for the Amernet String Quartet who will have premiered eight of Dankner's nine works for string quartet. The evening's program will also include Schubert's String Quartet in E-flat, Opus 125, No. 1 and Dvorák's String Quartet in E-flat, Opus 51.
Clark chef Steve Wilkinson has designed a three-course, prix-fixe dinner served prior to the concert. Each course will offer three choices. Appetizer selections may include: Tuscan tomato soup with fresh basil; mesclun greens with avocado, grapefruit, and crab, with lime-mint dressing; and native tomato salad with feta cheese and olives. Entrée choices may include: sautéed tilapia with lemon, capers, butter, and parsley; roast rosemary chicken with roasted vegetables and corn spoon bread; or penne with broccoli rabe, cannellini beans, garlic, and asiago cheese. For dessert, choices include: chocolate mousse, strawberry-rhubarb tart, and crème brûlée. Wilkinson has been chef/manager of the Clark's Café for two years, and prior to that, he owned and was chef at three restaurants in Connecticut: Fine Bouche, Steve's Centerbrook Cafe, and Esteva, all were rated 3 stars by the New York Times and held Wine Spectator Awards of Excellence. Reservations are required. Call 413-458-0524. Seating begins at 6 pm.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, MA. The galleries are open daily in July and August, 10 am to 5 pm (closed Mondays, September through June). Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and under, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.
