Trebon rolls dice for 5th in Vegas
LAS VEGAS — Ryan Trebon (LTS/Felt) gambled on a late-race pursuit of two-time world champion Bart Wellens in the closing laps of Cross Vegas Wednesday night and ended up fifth in a race won by Dutch wunderkind Lars van Der Haar (Rabobank).
The men's race featured a field stacked with European talent led by Belgian superstar Wellens and his countryman and Telenet-Fidea teammate Rob Peeters. Five-time Swiss national champ Christian Huele, Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld's latest signing, was on hand for his first U.S. race this season. Rabobank riders Bart Aernouts of Belgium and U23 World Champion van Der Haar of The Netherlands joined them in the front row at the start, while Italian Fabio Ursi (C.S.Esercito) and Denmark's Joachim Parbo (Challenge Tires) slotted into the second row.
North American cyclocross stars Jeremy Powers (Team Rapha-Focus), Tim Johnson (Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld) and Jonathan Page (Planetbike/blue) filled out the front row. Jamey Driscoll (Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld) and Trebon lined up in row two with current U.S. National Champion Todd Wells (Specialized) and Oregon favorite Barry Wicks (Kona). Of the Portland riders, Sean Babcock (Kona) started in row 4, Aaron Tuckerman (Corsa Concepts) started 10 rows back and Molly Cameron (MetaFilter) started near the back of the 100+ rider pack of Elite men.
The fast, grass course with barriers, steps and swirling turns had been soaked with a few days of rain earlier, but the skies at least dried out for the season's first big pro cyclocross race, which is run in conjunction with the Interbike trade show invading Vegas all week.
Peeters jumped to the initial lead after a brief run though a small starting loop, but Trebon showed he was there to race and soon surged to the front, setting a breakneck pace as the field strung out in a long single-file line behind him. He shared time in the front group with Huele, Peeters, Danny Summerhill (Garmin-Cervelo), Aernouts, Johnson, Powers, Page, Wellens, Zach McDonald (Team Rapha-Focus) and Belgian Ben Berden (Stoemper), all part of a 14 rider lead bunch that was distancing itself from the spread out field.
Wellens was first to launch an attack from there and quickly brought Powers, Aernouts, van Der Haar, Heule and Peeters along with him. Trebon bridged across to the dangerous group and soon went to the very front, leading the race with five laps to go. Driscoll and Johnson bridged next, along with McDonald, Geoff Kabush (Maxxis-Rocky Mountain) and Wells, bringing the lead group back to more than a dozen riders with a huge gap over the rest.
Attacks from Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld riders Huele and Johnson set up a move by their teammate Driscoll, who held a slight advantage over hard-charging Trebon and Powers with three laps to go. Wellens soon picked up the chase, followed by Johnson, Powers, Peeters, Heule, Trebon, van Der Haar and Wells, with Kabush and McDonald just hanging off the back of the group.
Wellens reached Driscoll and passed him with about two laps to go. Driscoll tried to chase but couldn't keep the former world champion's pace, eventually dangling in front the next group containing Powers, Trebon, Aernouts, Huele and Wellens' teammate Peeters.
Trebon went to the head of the group to pull back Wellens in the final two laps but found little help from the remaining riders in the lead chase group. Trebon, towing along the rest of the select group, made contact with Driscoll and soon narrowed Wellens' lead to just six seconds with one lap to go. He closed the gap completely and brought things back together for the leaders early in the final lap.
Attacks surged off the front throughout the finalè, but when nothing stuck, Peeters went to the front and nailed the pace for the last quarter of a lap until his fellow Europeans sprinted around him and into to the lead in the closing meters, with van Der Haar taking with win from Huele in a photo finish. Peeters just missed second and settled for third ahead of Powers. Trebon trailed for fifth.
Nash repeats win in women's race
Butler, the only Oregonian in the women's race, started in the first row surrounded by the usual suspects of North American 'cross, including Luna's Katerina Nash and Georgia Gould, California Giant's Meredith Miller, Crankbrothers' Amy Dombroski and LadiesFirst rider Andrea Smith. French champion Caroline Mani (CC Etupes) and Belgian rider Joyce Vanderbeken (Cycling Team Vermeeren) filled out the front row.
Mani used an impressive turn of speed to grab the hole shot, but Butler took the lead early into the first lap. The Luna duo of Nash and Gould soon rode off the front of the group and built a 10-second advantage by the end of the first lap. Butler found herself in the first chasing group of five, including Dombroksi, Lea Davison (Specialized), Nicole Duke (Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld) and Kelli Emmett (Giant Bicycles). Miller joined the chase on lap two, bringing their numbers to six, but the Luna duo kept the pressure on at the front.
Nash opened a gap over Gould on the third lap when the latter struggled with her pedal on a remount. The chase behind then exploded, while Butler experienced breathing problems and slipped out of the first chase group. Nash poured it on and soon built a gap of 20 seconds as Gould dropped back into the chase group with Emmett, Dombroski and Miller.
The diminutive Czech eventually won her second consecutive Cross Vegas by 30 seconds over Dombroski, who surged out of the chasing group at the finish. Emmett hung on for third ahead of Miller. Gould settled for fifth. Butler finished outside the top 10.

When I ask people what they think marketers do or simply "what is marketing?" they almost always say that marketing is some form of advertising or promotion.
We all learned the "4 Ps" (Product, Promotion, Price and Place for those who don't remember.) So we know that there is more to marketing than just promotion. But even this traditional definition is under attack.
Traditional advertising and common perception of branding are under attack.
In a recent post from Copyblogger, Frank Strong makes a great case for why content marketing is the new branding.
I agree with his points and would even go a little further to ask "Is content marketing the new advertising?"
Is all marketing simply content? And will the terms content marketing and content strategy simply evolve to replace the current notion of marketing and marketing strategy?
According to Frank, Branding is more than a logo or a tagline. Branding exists in the minds of consumers as a perception. And all the company assets support or extend existing notions or expectations. Great companies, then exceed these expectations with the experiences they deliver with their product of service.
Frank goes on to explain that "the essence of a brand lies within its meaning. And words have meaning. Words matter." You can see where he's going, right? It's the content that supports the brand promise. And it's not just your content. More importantly it is "what other people say about you" that matters most.
Great content and engaging stories help your company's content get found and get shared. When great content is shared, commented on or liked, it is no longer your content alone. It is their content. And user-generated content is trusted more than advertising or promotion.
Echoing my recent thoughts on brand's battle for customer attention, Frank explains that "Content is currency — something we trade for our audience's attention. That currency becomes more valuable every time it's shared by someone other than ourselves."
And so he implores us in marketing and business to focus on creating content worth sharing.
Thankfully, the folks at PRWeb, have created this guide to creating content based on a view of the level of customer engagement and the level of company effort to create. It says it is for small business but I think it's relevant for all businesses. So check it out. And tell me what you think:
Content being king is the only real way to bring in the younger market now. With so many screens attached active, you have to give them substance; something that will make them drop everything else and indulge in what your brand has to say. With tailored content you can actually accomplish this.the YAYA (youth and young adult) market lacks an attention span. To keep them focused you have to give them something that satisfies their interest.
Britton Cunningham
Mojo Ad Copywriter
Well said, the notion of content marketing is becoming more & more relevant @NetApp and across the IT Industry.. It highlights the importance of being able to continuously question what content works, when, where and to what audience.. I love where this is headed…
I agree with the post, but one detail caught my eye in the infographic. I don't think a single image requires more attention than a blog post. In my experience single images (photos or graphics, cartoons) are the easiest content type if you seek to reach as many people as possible.
Great post and great share! I believe you are more on point with Content being the new Advertising than the Copyblogger assertion that it's the new Branding. For one reason, if marketing, branding, and advertising are not all synonymous, branding still needs to be branding. If your business name, tagline, and logo aren't 'branding', then what are those things? When Copyblogger suggests that branding is the perception and expectation around your product or service, I disagree and personally call the process of narrowing down the perception and expectation "positioning." Furthermore, I do not believe that "content marketing" is the new "positioning."
As to why I believe your assertion is better, modern advertising was BORN as content marketing. Soap Operas on radio and later TV, and the Texaco Star Theater are examples of how companies provided value (entertainment) in exchange for the opportunity to sell you hand soap, laundry detergent, or gasoline. All that airtime and production was content marketing. Later, this relationship became more fragmented as networks produced their own shows and sold the commercial breaks to ad agencies (who then competed for customers not based on price, but creativity and effectiveness) to sell to manufacturers.
As the internet continues to level the playing field for media and distribution, and technology levels the playing field for education and production, we are merely naturally returning to our roots. We are making great products and offering great services, and winning loyal customers based on our commitment to invest in adding value to people's lives before requiring them to commit to making a purchase.
Thanks for the great article!

Back to America: 8000 to 5000 B.C.
In the far north there was a micro-blade tradition called "Little Arm" with evidence of caribou and elk hunting dated from 5,500 to 4,000 B.C. In Canada by 4,000 B.C. the Maritime Provinces were settled by hunters, fishers, and gatherers. The Columbia plateau folks, previously mentioned, were hunting elk and deer in the forests of Douglas fir and western yellow pine, and fishing for salmon in the Columbia by 9,000 B.C. (Ref. 209, 45)
Between 5,000 and 3,800 B.C. the temperature lowered again and precipitation increased so that some game returned as the climate approached what it is today. Even so the hunting cultures gradually gave way to a type in which the people were not specialized in a single skill but were versatile enough to attempt other things.
In the Eastern Woodlands there was now a "Middle Period" with great variation from area to area. Some used antlers and bones for fish-hooks, spears and harpoons, some learned to use copper for tools and ornaments. In the latter respect, a distinctive culture of the Great Lakes and upper Mississippi Valley, beginning about 4,500 B.C., was the "Old Copper Culture" in which the metal was worked either in the cold or hot state, but it was never melted or cast. Knives, barbed harpoon points and atlatl weights (throwing sticks) were made in this way. There was no big game present and most of the inhabitants of the eastern societies used steatite vessels. The earliest of the Archaic Cultures is sometimes called the southern "Indian Knoll Society", with a later northern Lauretain Culture about the Great Lakes and on eastward where along the Labrador coast it eventually came face to face with Eskimos. (Ref. 64, 45, 209)
The western Desert Culture was oriented toward plants, collecting of small seeds and roots for food. Plant fibers were used for baskets, footwear and nets for snares.
In the southwest, the Chircahua Phase of the Cochise Culture made its appearance about 5,000 B.C. and was to last about 3,000 years. It was there that maize first appeared in the United States, sometime between 3,000 and 2,000 B.C., apparently brought up from Mexico where it had been cultivated long before. The Cochise could grow the corn because they had the soil, the right growing season and the necessary skills and tools. They could already weave baskets in which to store it and had long used grinding tools to pulverize seeds and nuts. This early desert society later gave way to the Pueblo and Mexican empires. In California the San Diego County Archeological Society recently brought suit against a land development firm, alleging that it intentionally marred a site thought to have been occupied by La Jolla Indians 3,000 to 7,000 years ago1 . Excavations on Catalina Island just off the California coast, show that man gorged himself on abalone in the 4th millennium B.C., almost wiping out the colonies (Ref. 106, 211, 45, 210)

Adam Segal, CFR's senior fellow for China studies says the next U.S. president will have to address trade, military build-up, transparency, and the larger issue of China's role in the world. Segal says: "Whoever becomes president is going to seriously have to reengage with Asia," because there is a widespread perception in the region that United States, distracted by Iraq and the Middle East, has allowed China to take advantage.
Segal says China is still "very much a 19th century state in that it sees sovereignty as being the overwhelming concern" and is going to push back on many of U.S. concerns about humanitarianism, genocide in Sudan or other places because they are afraid about interference in their own internal affairs. Segal expects the next U.S. president will experience many of the same challenges with China faced by the Bush administration.

Stanford Human Rights Center Fellowship
Purpose of the Fellowship
The Stanford Human Rights Center ('the Center') offers two (2) Human Rights Fellowships for graduating Stanford Law School students or recent graduates who have demonstrated a strong commitment to international human rights and have an interest in field work in a developing country or experience in supranational human rights bodies whose work focuses on the developing world. The fellowships will provide recent graduates with experience essential to developing a career in human rights work. The fellowships are not intended to fund research at academic or similar institutions, but instead to promote engaged practice with a human rights non-governmental organization (NGO) in a developing country or with a supranational human rights body, wherever located, whose work focuses in significant degree on the developing world.
Current 3Ls expecting to receive a J.D. degree by June 2014 are eligible to apply, as well as J.D. graduates since June 2012 who are either currently clerking for a judge or engaged in full-time public interest work, or were active in human rights work while at SLS. Consideration on an exceptional basis may also be given to recent graduates from before 2012 who can make a compelling case. Graduating LL.M. and J.S.M. students who expect to receive the LL.M. degree or the J.S.M. degree in June 2014 are also eligible to apply.
Interviews may be required for finalists. The Committee awarding the fellowships is not required to award two fellowships or any fellowship in the absence of sufficiently qualified applicants.
The application shall consist of:
- Curriculum vitae, including information about classes, work, and extracurricular activities related to human rights or public interest;
- A personal statement about the applicant's relevant human rights experience. The statement should be no more than 500 words and should discuss the ways in which the fellowship would contribute to the applicant's career path;
- A project proposal that includes:
- a description of the sponsoring organization and its work in the local and international context;
- a detailed discussion of the student's proposed project (see below for more information);
- and an itemized budget;
- A letter of support from the sponsoring organization(s) detailing its mission, purpose, and particular interest in the work of the applicant;
- Three letters of recommendation, including at least one from a member of the SLS faculty; the letters of recommendation should be sent directly to the email addresses below;
- A copy of the applicant's SLS transcript.
Application Deadline
Applications must be submitted by 12:00 PST on Friday, November 22, 2013. Applications must be sent by electronic mail to: email@example.com, email@example.com, and firstname.lastname@example.com. Reference letters should be sent directly to these email addresses, or to Ms. Nicole Riley, Neukom Building, 555 Nathan Abbott Way, Stanford, CA 94305.
Requirements for Sponsoring Organization
Strong preference will be given to applicants sponsored by an organization, or organizations related through a single project, in the developing world, or to applicants sponsored by a supranational human rights body whose work is carried out in the developing world. Application placements with organizations in Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, United States, Western Europe and other similar countries are discouraged. For LL.M. and J.S.M. applicants, preference will be given to projects outside the region or sub-region of the candidate's home country.
The organization must be either an established supranational human rights body or must be an NGO engaged in human rights activism, which includes human rights education, monitoring, reporting, litigation, grassroots mobilization, or advocacy. NGOs that qualify might be involved in human rights work in general or in specific areas such as women's rights, children's rights, labor rights, or refugees. The fellowship is not intended to support research within an NGO that is removed from human rights activism. Qualifying NGOs may also include organizations pursuing a rights-based approach to advocacy in interdisciplinary directions, such as economic development, humanitarian relief, health or environmental justice.
The Center will consider proposals that link NGOs in the developing world with NGOs in developed countries, as long as the focus of the work and the bulk of the time will be spent in the developing country. The Center may, in special circumstances, accept a proposal for work within a governmental or intergovernmental human rights organization.
Students are encouraged to think creatively about the organizations to which they would like to apply and to discuss potential sponsoring organizations with the Center's Director, as well as the staff of the International Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Clinic early in the planning process. The Center will make the final determination as to the eligibility of the proposed organization. Applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with the Center's Deputy Director throughout the application process to ensure that their proposed organization meets eligibility criteria.
The Center will strive to support one highly qualified applicant sponsored by an NGO and one highly qualified applicant sponsored by a supranational human rights body.
Fellowship Requirements
Each fellow will be responsible for the organization of major event or conference at Stanford, which s/he will develop and implement jointly with the faculty and staff of the Center. The fellow will be required to return at least once (at the Center's expense) during the year of the fellowship for the event. Applicants are not required but may wish to include a basic plan for this event in their research proposal.
Each fellow will also be responsible for developing at least one clinical project for the Stanford International Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Clinic in the region or area in which s/he is working. To the extent possible, within the framework and limitations of the Clinic, the project may be implemented jointly with the International Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Clinic.
During the course of the fellowship year, fellows will be expected to submit quarterly written reports to the Center, providing updates about the project's progress. Fellows are expected to be in contact with the Center for support and advice throughout the year.
Project Proposal
Applicants should contact potential organizations - NGOs or supranational bodies - early in order to assess project feasibility. Project proposals should be as detailed as possible and include consideration of logistics and budget. Proof of the NGO's or the supranational human rights organization's interest and willingness to work closely with the applicant and devote institutional resources to the project, including via direct supervision of the fellow, is a crucial factor in a project's success. Detailed confirmation of the organization's sponsorship is therefore a major factor in the application selection process.
Fellowship Selection Process
The Stanford Human Rights Center will oversee the administration of the fellowships. The Director of the Center will advise students preparing applications on the substance of their proposal and whether particular sponsoring organizations qualify. Applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with the Director prior to submitting their application. The selection process will take into account the applicant's experience and commitment to human rights work, as well as the merit and feasibility of the proposed project.
Funding Amounts and Restrictions
Fellowship awards will be made without regard to financial need. The amount of the fellowship will be at least $25,000. The Center will consider additional cost of living increases for selected fellows on a case-by-case basis. Round-trip airfare costs to allow the fellow to return in connection with the event s/he organizes will be paid by the Center.
Fellows may supplement the fellowship from other grants and awards up to a limit of $10,000 or more in cases of exceptional and justified need. The Center may reduce the amount of its grant to correspond to other grants. Fellows are required to keep the Center informed of other funding.

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Marti Leimbach's first novel, Dying Young, was called "a
masterpiece of details that always ring true, with the sad,
funny and fascinating unpredictability of real life." With the
same talent and perception, Leimbach's new novel takes the
reader to London, to the home of the Marshes: Stephen Marsh, a
true Brit; Melanie, a transplanted American; and their two
children, four-year-old Emily and Daniel, just three. When it is
conveyed that Daniel is autistic, the orderly life of the Marsh
family is shattered.
Melanie is determined to fight to teach Daniel to speak, play and become as "normal" as possible. Her enchanting disposition has already helped her weather other of life's storms, but Daniel's autism may just push her over the brink, destroying her resolute optimism and bringing her unsteady marriage to an inglorious end. The situation is not helped by Stephen's far-from-supportive parents, who proudly display the family tree with Melanie's name barely penciled in, and who remain disconcertingly attached to Stephen's ex-fiancée, a woman apparently intent on restaking her claim on Stephen.
Melanie does have one strong ally in Andy, a talented and off-the-wall play therapist who specializes in teaching autistic children. Andy proves that Daniel is far more capable than anyone imagined, and Melanie finds herself drawn to him even as she staggers toward resolving her marriage.
Daniel Isn't Talking is a moving, deeply absorbing story of a family in crisis. What sets it apart from most fiction about difficult subjects is the author's ability to write about a sad and frightening situation with a seamless blend of warmth, compassion and humor.
My husband saw me at a party and decided he wanted to marry me.
That is what he says. I was doing an impression of myself on the
back of a motorcycle with my university sweetheart, a young man
who loved T. S. Eliot and Harley-Davidsons, and who told me to
hang on to him as we swept down Storrow Drive in Boston, the
winter wind cutting through our clothes like glass. If I allow
myself, I can still remember exactly the warm smell of his
leather jacket, how I clung to him, and how in my fear and
discomfort I cursed all the way to the ballet.
We sat on the plush red seat cushions and kissed before Baryshnikov came on stage, the whole of his powerful frame a knot of kinetic energy that leapt as though the stage were a springboard. I always insisted on sitting up front so I could appreciate the strength of the dancers, the tautness of their muscles, the sweat on their skin. My lover of ...
A well told, strong story - definitely worth a second glance.

About Autism: According to
Autism Speaks, it is likely that throughout history people have lived
with what are now known as autistic spectrum disorders, but the term was first
used around 1911 by Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler.
Autism was first described as a specific condition by Dr Leo Kanner in 1943. The following year, Dr Hans Asperger published his paper on the 'high-functioning' form of autism that bears his name (some believe Einstein and Newton both had Asbergers). During the 1950s and '60s many doctors believed autism was a psychological disturbance caused by poor mothering. This theory was firmly crushed in the 1960s with the evidence that autism was a biological condition.
In 1994, the National ...

Jason Stafford is a former Wall Street hotshot who made some bad moves, paid the price with two years in prison, and is now trying to put his life back together.

A spellbinding novel about a troubled young girl and a family in crisis, and a gripping, astonishing portrait of recovery and self-determination.

Nava Bharat Ferro plans Rs 200-crore expansion
C.R. Sukumar
Hyderabad , July 25
NAVA Bharat Ferro Alloys Ltd (NBFAL) is evaluating expansion plans involving around Rs 200 crore investment for its ferro alloys, power and sugar facilities.
This is part of the company's mega plan to attain control over power and ores in a bid to sustain long-term viability and be globally competitive, especially in the backdrop of recent violent swings in the prices of ores and finished products, the NBFAL Finance Director, Mr G.R.K. Prasad, said.
The Hyderabad-based Rs 559-crore company currently has three furnaces in Andhra Pradesh with a total capacity of 75,000 tonnes per annum and two furnaces in Orissa with a capacity of 50,000 tpa.
Following a Rs 20-crore de-bottlenecking programme taken up at Orissa furnaces, the capacity has been recently increased to 75,000 tpa.
NBFAL is evaluating a plan to add another furnace in Andhra Pradesh with a capacity of 50,000 tpa, involving an investment of Rs 35 crore. This would take the capacity in the State to 1,25,000 tpa.
To overcome the supply side pressures, NBFAL proposes to enter into long-term supply contracts with leading traders and steel producers and avoid stock overhang at the expanded capacity levels. Further, Mr Prasad said, the company's efforts on the chrome ore-mining lease might take some more time to fructify in view of the directions of Supreme Court, while efforts were under way to obtain reasonable control in the manganese ore area by strategic associations.
The company is also evaluating expansion of its power facilities. It currently has 50 MW capacity in Andhra Pradesh and 30 MW in Orissa. It is planning to set up an Rs 80-crore power plant with 32 MW capacity, which would take off by January next. To meet additional power requirements of Orissa furnaces, NBFAL is looking at drawing power from inter-State transmission of surplus power from Andhra Pradesh or from the local grid. It is also considering a plan to set up 15 MW captive power generation plant in Orissa, he said.
Having expanded cane-crushing capacity from 2,500 tonnes per day (tcd) to 3,600 tcd recently, the company is now weighing options to raise the capacity to 4,500 tcd first and further to 5,000 tcd over the ensuing two seasons. The co-generation capacity would also be increased to 9 MW from 5 MW at a cost of Rs 20 crore.
Mr Prasad said being a port-based unit and in close proximity to the sugar consumption zone, NBFAL is also looking forward to opportunities in the area of importing raw sugar and refining it. Currently, the average cane-crushing season is around six months a year. The proposed raw sugar refining activity would enable the company use its idle capacities for another three-four months.
Stating that the raw sugar refining activity offers exciting opportunity, Mr Prasad, however, said the company did not work out its impact on its business volumes.
The stock is currently hovering at Rs 360 on both the BSE and the NSE with a year's high of Rs 456 and low of Rs 182.

Attractions and Things To Do in Shaldon
If you've never been to Shaldon, you've missed a real treat. Situated on the South Devon coast across the Teign estuary and opposite the resort of Teignmouth, Shaldon is an unspoilt village with a thriving community. Many families in the village are still linked to the fishing industry and with a great range of local shops and attractions, it's an ideal place for a relaxing holiday. Shaldon isn't as commercial as many of the South Devon towns, but is perfect if you want to experience real Devon life firsthand.
The original settlement was a little upstream, where the fertile valley was cultivated. Shaldon is built on reclaimed land from silt, and there is a retaining wall that prevents the sea from returning to the beaches. Gradually the inhabitants turned to fishing, although the village still has a very rural feel.
Things to do
There are some great days out around Shaldon, with clean beaches that are ideal for swimming, sailing, rowing, paddling and rock pool exploring. Shaldon Zoo is home to a unique collection of smaller endangered species including monkeys, meerkats and more can be found in its woodland setting. Shaldon Approach Golf Course is also very nearby - call 01626 872484 for more information.
Food and drink
You may be surprised to hear that we make a rather good bottle of wine here in South Devon. The Old Walls Vineyard is situated on steeply sloping south facing land, and there is evidence to show the Romans had a vineyard here nearly two thousand years ago. You can visit the vineyard and try a tipple of the local Devon wine. For fine dining try the Ness House Hotel, and for top quality seafood the Tide Restaurant is noted for its mussels. Jazz evenings take place at the Clifford Arms, a beautifully restored bar with a friendly atmosphere and comfortable surroundings.
Something a little different
If you're a true foodie, you'll find inspirational dishes served in classical style at ODE restaurant, one of Devon's newest additions to fine dining. With organic and ecological principles the restaurant prides itself on good local produce.
For a great party, Shaldon Water Carnival features what could be the oldest running regatta in the world. It's a festival of watery fun and ideal for families.

Snow comes to dry Sierra, encourages local ski resorts
Listen to the story
The first significant winter storm in nearly two months brought much needed snow to the Sierra. Most places around Lake Tahoe received between 5 to 8 inches by the end of Thursday.
It was about time for Tahoe ski resorts, as well. Many have solely depended on manmade snow.
Squaw Valley reports around 10 inches and Mount Rose between 8 to 12 inches.
John Munson is with Sugar Bowl and Royal Gorge Cross Country Resort.
"Hopefully, all this means is that there's been pent up demand from lack of power days so far."
While this snowfall will open up more lifts for downhill skiers, it's particularly a boon for cross country trail, like those at Royal Gorge spanning more than 6,000 acres. That's too much terrain for snowmaking, so this winter storm could be critical for getting things up and running again.
"Really you only need about a foot of snow to send the groomers out on the flat, meadow valley floor terrain to lay down corduroy and groomers.
There wasn't much snowfall early Friday morning as initially forecast. But Munson hopes they'll have the trails open in the near future.

Substance Abuse Services Commission:
Providing A Blueprint for Change in Maine
2010 Report Card on Maine Substance Abuse Services (PDF) from the Maine Substance Abuse Services Commission
SASC Substance Abuse Report Card 2008 (PDF)
In 2006, Join Together, a program of the Boston University School of Public Health, published its Blueprint for the States: Policies to Improve the Ways States Organize and Deliver Alcohol and Drug Prevention and Treatment. This document was the culmination of the work of a national policy panel, led by former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate Michael Dukakis.
A key point noted in its introduction is that, "[S]tate governments bear the financial burden of the consequences of drugs and alcohol in our nation, spending over 13 percent of their budgets on problems related to drug and alcohol use". (1)
However, the report notes that, "less than four percent of this is spent on prevention and treatment, while more than 96 percent pays for the avoidable social and physical consequences that result from our failure to apply what we know about how to prevent and treat substance use problems." (2) These costs include prison, court, police, child-welfare, and Medicaid expenditures for treating medical problems related to addictive illnesses.
The Maine Substance Abuse Services Commission (SASC) has endorsed this document and its key recommendations for creating effective alcohol and drug policies that will save lives, reduce crime, restore families, and ultimately save state dollars.
As a first step in addressing these recommendations, the SASC is initiating a State Report Card to provide a level of measurement and accountability that will allow for a consistent review of the system of substance use prevention and treatment in Maine. This information will allow for a baseline of outcome data by which we can assess the current state of the system, and measure the impacts of possible recommended changes over time.
The Blueprint panel's key recommendation called for "making governors, state legislative leaders and chief judges personally accountable for developing and implementing a state strategy requiring all public agencies affected by alcohol and drug problems to work together in a unified strategy that promotes treatment and prevention". (3)
By starting with outcome data and building from a new level of accountability, the SASC hopes to bring together the many key stakeholders in all branches of state government in Maine that are impacted by drug and alcohol abuse. Together we can build on this new blueprint to create intervention strategies that make a real difference in the lives of those affected while also strengthening Maine's economy.

By Gail McCarthy
Staff Writer
---- — An aspiring singer-songwriter from Rockport has gone from Dogtown to Tuscany in pursuit of her musical inspiration.
Marina Evans, 25, is preparing to record an album abroad in Florence, Italy. She has been traveling back and forth between Cape Ann and Florence since she studied abroad there in 2008 when she was a junior in college.
Evans received her undergraduate degree in music theory and composition from Columbia University in 2009, but her music career started here when, at age 17, she started singing in a jazz duo with her older brother, Brendan Evans.
The duo performed at the Seaward Inn in Rockport and the defunct White Rainbow in Gloucester. She still plays at the latter venue — it is now the Dog Bar on Main Street — and she has performed at the Old Sloop Coffeehouse, The Rhumb Line, The Cape Ann Brewery, the Harbor Loop concert series, as well as other local venues.
Evans has combined a jazz background with her love of classic rock and traditional folk in her songwriting.
Her introduction to the Tuscan music scene came in 2008 when she performed some of her very first songs at an open mic event outside Florence, Italy. A Florentine bass player and producer heard her perform, and the pair started gigging and recording together. Evans applied for and received a grant from Columbia to return to Florence for the summer to continue working on the project.
"The musicians I met and worked with in 2008 became good friends and inspiring collaborators," Evans says. "After that initial project, I did everything I could to return to Florence to gig, write, and record."
In the ensuing years, Evans has been producing plenty of music. In 2012, she released two original EPs: "Dogtown," written and recorded here in Gloucester, and "The Tuscan Sessions," written and recorded while touring abroad in Italy last spring.
"The EPs are really two sides of the same coin," Evans said. "They reflect this bi-continental life I've been living. The song 'Dogtown' is about home (the place and the people) and how both you and it grow and change as you leave and return. I grew up on Cape Ann, but I have been coming and going since I was 14 years old. The Dogtown woods have became a sort of metaphor for me: the history there is tangible; the landscape is unmistakable; but at the same time it is a dynamic, organic place that grows anew each spring, despite the permanence of its boulders."
Bradley Royds, a local producer and musician, said the "Dogtown" EP showed off several aspects of Evans' songwriting skills, and was woven with emotions.
Now, Evans is in Florence until July. She has the material, the band, the producer, the studio, and the experience to produce a full-length original album.
"All the pieces are in place, down to booking the studio time — now all I need is the support of friends and fans from my home port to make it happen," she said.
To that end, Evans has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $8,000 to record a full-length original album. Kickstarter is a crowd-funding website through which artists set a financial goal and ask for donations or pledges from fans in order to finance a creative project.
"I am very fortunate to be able to maintain this bi-continental musical lifestyle, and it means a lot to get community support from both sides of the pond," Evans said.
The link to Evans' Kickstarter campaign is http://kck.st/11aEYis. Here you can learn more about the project, as well as pledge money to support it.
The campaign runs until 9 a.m. Tuesday, May 7. By then, Evans needs to raise all $8,000 or she will not get any of the donations (donors will not be charged until the goal is met, or after May 7).
Royds said Evans has made great strides in a short time.
"She's articulate, smart and funny, and she's developing her talent at an incredibly quick rate," he said. "She has the guts and determination and puts herself on the line to go out there and do it. She is going to go somewhere in this business. She has a lot of possibilities going forward."
Gail McCarthy can be reached at 978-283-7000 x3445, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
How to help Who and what: Rockport resident Marina Evans has launched a Kickstarter campaign so she can record a music album in Italy. How: You can learn more about her plans or make a donation at http://kck.st/11aEYis Deadline: If she does not meet her fundraising goal by 9 a.m. Tuesday, May 7, donors will not be charged.

Irsay helps students get to Disney
INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is helping musicians from a city high school cover the costs of a trip to perform at Walt Disney World in Florida.
The 54 Arsenal Tech students were chosen in December to perform during the park's Magic Music Days, but many couldn't afford their share of the $42,000 trip.
IPS officials say Irsay gave the school a check Friday to cover the remaining costs.
Purdue Calumet faces $4M deficit

Lukoshus says the school's full-time enrollment fell 11 percent last fall.

Burton Pedwardine Online is the Website of the Burton Pedwardine Parish Meeting and the Residents of one of Lincolnshire's smallest Hamlets which can trace its roots back to before the Norman Conquest and the invasion of England by William, Duke of Normandy.
Located in the heart of the Lincolnshire Countryside approximately 4½ Miles south-east of the market town of Sleaford and nestling on the edge of the East Anglian Fens, Burton Pedwardine is still a predominantly agricultural village surrounded by open farmland. Many of the residents have come to enjoy the village's peaceful tranquility, friendly atmosphere and Lincolnshire's legendary "big skies". Click here to see a map of the area.
Take a few moments to read about Burton Pedwardine's long history as a feudal village and find out what is happening here in the 21st Century.
If you are tracing your ancestors, take a look at our Geneaology page and see if the locals can help you with the missing piece in your family history. And if Archaeology is your thing, find out about the abandoned village and the earthworks that survive today.
Following the success of last year's Music on a Summer's Evening event, the organisers are pleased to announce that Music on a Summer's Evening 2010 will take place on Saturday 17th July 2010 in the Church, starting at 6.30pm. The event will be raising funds for Lincolnshire Integrated Voluntary Emergency Service (LIVES) and for the repair of the Church Roof. There will be a Hog Roast once again this year followed by a selection of delicious home-made cakes. Music will be by Lamb Skinnet and everyone will be invited to join in the Ceilidh. A licensed bar will also be available. Tickets are £10 each (£5 for Children) and are available from Mary Tilley on 01529 461113.

What to do with left over yolks?
Many suggestions in this recent thread:
re: dtremit
...or this one....
If you're looking into non-dessert suggestions, I think egg yolks are amazing thickeners for Japanese noodle soups (soba, ramen, udon). Even if you are just making instant noodles, put the yolk in last into the hot soup, let it cook to your degree of liking (it just takes a few seconds to get solid), then swish it around the broth. Nutritious and tasty!
Creme anglaise is a good use, and goes well w/ floating islands if you want to try that kind of meringue as well.
re: MMRuth
re: aspwong
Oh - they are oh so wonderful - and really quite easy - at least the meringue part, and then once you get the hang of it, creme anglaise isn't too hard either (and if I mess mine up such that there are little egg bits in it, I just strain it!).
re: SharaMcG
We think the same. After trying Alton Browns recipe I went out and bought two hand crank freezers – 1 for vanilla, 1 for chocolate. Everybody has a ball churning while the grill is grilling.
Alton Brown -- Churn Baby Churn 2
heat some chicken consumme or any good clear broth until nice and hot. butter and toast a thin slice of baguette, can melt a nice slice of hard cheese on it if you want. place toast in center of a bowl, place single egg yolk on top of the toast, then pour the hot broth around the toast until it just covers the egg yolk. sprinkle with fresh parsley, fresh ground pepper and drizzle with truffle oil (if you have it). eat immediately (you want the egg to be as soft and runny as possible). yum!!!
Make some soft polenta and put into an oven-safe baking dish. Using the back of a spoon, make an indentation in the polenta and put the yolk there. Dot with butter and top with grated or shredded cheese. I like Gorgonzola but use your favorite. Run under a med-hot broiler or put in hot oven until cheese melts and yolk is barely cooked, still soft. Stir together and enjoy a quick treat. Great with a tart green salad.
I just made some homemade mayo with my extra yolks (i was making macarons with the whites). I used hazelnut oil and added a bit of cocoa for a really great kind of nutty flavored mayo. Am planning to use with chicken tomorrow.
re: alejandraordersdessert
re: OCEllen
Hi Ellen,
Actually it was the first time I made it! It just so happened that I didn't have enough olive oil so I decided to mix the two. I'd just received a product sample of this red cocoa from some company (I"m a blogger so I get random stuff sometimes) and was reading the label while the mayo mixed. It was sort of a whim that caused me to add the teaspoon of cocoa in. The taste was very nutty, almost a little bitter. I added a bit of sugar to it to balance out the flavors and it worked really well with a grilled chicken cutlet. I still want to play with it a bit more, but it's kind of a cross between a mole and mayo (if you can imagine that...) lol
Creme Brulee! 6 yolks, 3 cups cream, 1/3 cup sugar, vanilla bean and a pinch of salt.
I just joined a CSA and am drowning in eggs this time of year. (They're doubling the egg count since spring is arriving late.)
My problem is what to do with the whites. When I'm after the yolks, it occupies my oven so that the whites aren't fresh enough to really meringue well.
re: thinks too much
With extra whites you can make fantastic financier! So each and really delicious. I have a coconut financier recipe that is just awesome, and I simmer some ginger in the beurre noisette for this really unexpected flavor. I wont' link to it since it's on my own blog, but if you google "coconut financier" you should be able to find it. Dave Leibovitz has a similar recipe too.
Another option for old egg whites is Macarons. You actually need two-three day old egg whites for that so your not so fresh ones would be perfect
Make lemon curd!
re: sfumato
re: aspwong
It's so yummy. You can use it as a tart filling (just spoon room temp curd into baked tart shells and chill), between cake layers, or just spooned on toast/biscuits/scones. You can also substitute lime for the lemon for lime curd.
I've also seen raspberry curd recipes out there, but I imagine the process and proportions will be a bit different!

BAGHDAD (AP) Members of al-Qaida's branch in Iraq handed out pamphlets in Fallujah on Thursday, urging people to take up arms and back them in their weekslong fight against government troops for control of the city. While the militants battled Iraqi security forces in and around the western cities of Fallujah and Ramadi, police outside the capital, Baghdad, found the bullet-riddled bodies of 14 Sunni men who had been abducted from a funeral by gunmen wearing military uniforms. It was a grim reminder of similar slayings at the height of the war about six years ago.
Iraqi forces and allied Sunni tribesmen have been fighting to recapture key territories overrun by al-Qaida militants in the country's Sunni-dominated Anbar province, including its two main cities, Fallujah and parts of the provincial capital, Ramadi.
Violence has escalated in Iraq over the past year, particularly since late last month after authorities dismantled an anti-government Sunni protest camp and arrested a Sunni lawmaker on terrorism charges. To alleviate the tension, the army pulled back from the two cities, but that allowed al-Qaida militants to seize control.
Speaking to The Associated Press by telephone, Fallujah residents said al-Qaida militants distributed pamphlets with the emblem of their group the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant at main city intersections Wednesday and Thursday.

"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.
-General Omar Bradley, United States Army

Father Damien
Price: $7.14
Sku: WTI25303000
By Laura E. Williams Illustrated by Kristen Kofsky This is a moving story of Joseph De Veuster, better known around the world as Father Damien. With full color illustrations, this chapter book starts with Damien's life as a boy in Belgium and then highlights his selfless work in the Sandwich Islands as a missionary. After many years on the island of Hawai'i, he spent the last sixteen years of his life in Kalawao, Moloka'i where both children and adults afflicted with leprosy were sent to die. Although it seemed that no one cared, Father Damien did. He cared so much that he ended up contracting the deadly disease himself. Not just a book for those interested in religion, this fascinating story of Father Damien will have young readers thinking about how humans treat each other and ultimately what it means to belong to the human race. Father Damien is said to be responsible for two posthumous miracles which have resulted in his canonization. On October 11, 2009, a ceremony will be held for Father Damien to become a saint in the Catholic Church. 60 pages 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Soft Cover

Jeff Pugh didn't hesitate to turn to Josh Appleby during a clutch situation Friday night, despite how an earlier situation turned out.
Four weeks ago, Appleby was called on to attempt a 50-yard field goal. It sailed just wide of the uprights as time expired.
But against county rival Athens in a Class 5A, Region 8 contest, it was a much different outcome. His 29-yard kick sailed through the goal post with three seconds remaining in regulation to lift East Limestone to a 24-21 win.
For his efforts, Appleby has been selected as this week's News Courier Player of the Week.
"I was thinking to myself, 'Oh man, I don't know if I can make this,'" Appleby said. "But the last thing that crossed my mind as I walked up to kick it was how my brother (Jacob) won a game with one that was actually 29 yards in college. I knew it was good as soon as I kicked it, and it felt good. I really wanted this game, especially for our seniors."
Other notable performances from across the county this week include:
• Joel Swanner, Elkmont: The Red Devil senior accounted for 109 of Elkmont's 129 rushing yards during their win over Clements.
• Jake Blankenship, West Limestone: The junior rushed for two touchdowns, ran for a two-point conversion, had three sacks and forced a fumble. His TDs came on runs of 3 and 9 yards. Blankenship also intercepted a pass on the first play of the game and returned it 20 yards for a touchdown.

1780 calories/day for 1 person for 6 months - OR - 1780 calories/day for a family of 3 for 2 months!
Our latest food reserve is better than GOLD... because you can eat it! We have received many requests from our customers to develop a "smaller" sized 6 MONTH emergency food reserve for one, or 2 persons for 3 months, that would offer a wide selection of no cooking, no preparation foods.You asked, we listened. The GOLD FOOD RESERVE™ is a smaller deluxe reversion unit of our extremely popular Platinum-Reserve. Just like all our emergency food reserve units, it's made to bring you and your family greater peace-of-mind and security in today's uncertain times. It contains many of the most popular Mountain House foods as well as our premium quality
Nitro-Pak 'No-Cook' foods. Your unit will provide approx. 1780 calories per day for one person for 6 months, or a family of 2 for 3 months! It comes with a total of 84 #10 cans (large restaurant size cans) that comes packed in 14 cases for easy storage.

Key Features of the Gold Food Reserve Unit:
Item Number:1802
Ship Weight:257.90 lbs.
Serving Size
Servings Per Container 2625
Before purchasing this food unit, I purchased the Mountain House pouches to try out the meals. Everyone was raving about how the food actually tastes good, so I had to see for myself. After discovering the meals are actually delicious, I found myself eating them instead of going out to eat.
This Gold Reserve unit arrived in six large boxes, four boxes containing two smaller boxes, and the other two larger boxes, contain three boxes inside. In total, there are 14 boxes, with 6 #10 cans in each. The boxes are labeled with the contents. None of my cans were damaged, however, my cream of beef #10 can is on back order. I'm assuming it will ship out when available.
I paid $1,799 + free shipping for the unit, but less than a week later, it has now dropped $200.00, so I emailed Nitro-Pak to see if they can credit me the difference. Hopefully they do since their low price guarantee is good for 30 days.
I purchased this unit because I'm not a hardcore prepper. I'm not one of the guys on Youtube with enough food to feed an army, but I hope to be one of them, someday. It's just a good foundation to start with, and I'll just be supplementing it with more #10 cans as they go on sale. Not all of us have the time or know how to seal up mylar bags and put them in 5 gallon buckets. So thank you to Nitro-Pak and Mountain House for assembling a kit for us yuppies. :o)
