Somerville Manning Gallery is pleased to announce its first solo exhibition of bronze wildlife sculptor Rikki Morley Saunders. Described as a modern renaissance woman, Saunders is an environmental activist and trained equestrienne in addition to being an accomplished Chester County artist. Her pursuits are connected by her love and appreciation of nature, an interest encouraged early on by her father. Working exclusively from life, she often utilizes the variety of animals residing on her property as the models for her pieces. Saunders' creative process is rooted in the keen observation of her subjects. She believes that this allows her to achieve her goal of 'capturing a fleeting moment that illuminates a creature's very essence.'
Saunders' talent with rendering the animal form has led her to considerable success. During the fall of 2012, the National Sculpture Society selected one of her pieces, a life-sized representation of a peacock entitled Nureyev, for its 79th Annual Awards Exhibition. This notable juried show presented the works of 45 artists at the Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina. Saunders is also an active member of the Society of Animal Artists, a group that recognizes superior ability to depict wildlife. She has been featured in articles in The Hunt Magazine as well as in Western Art Collector, and is an associate member of the National Sculpture Society.

Illegal immigrants tortured, raped in rural Texas county
WOAI — Authorities in Dimmit County, Texas say they've rescued six undocumented immigrants being tortured as they were held for ransom.
Sheriff Marion Boyd says six undocumented workers were held captive for at least a week, scared for their lives in a trailer he described as a "torture chamber".
One victim couldn't walk.
"They used a stick to beat him in the knees," said Boyd. "They cut his fingers with a box knife."
Another victim told authorities his kidnappers beat him with a hammer. The abuse didn't stop there. Boyd says a female victim was repeatedly sexually assaulted for four days.

About the Mercedes-Benz 300-Class
The Mercedes-Benz 300-Class models have been described in many ways by drivers and reviewers, and almost all over it good. The cars have been called "nearly perfect," "timeless," "awesome," "reliable," "luxurious machines," and just about anything else you can think of. Handling was impressive and gas mileage was, surprisingly, relatively good. The only drawback seems to have been weak mid-range torque and a lack of cup holders.
The 3.0-liter, 6-cylinder, 177-hp engine formed the backbone of this group, although more powerful engines were available in certain models. Standard equipment such as power door locks, power windows, and driver's-side airbags added to the luxury image of the cars, while options such as durable leather seats and sunroofs only improved on that image.

Exterior Paint: Duration, Superpaint, Manor Hall, or Timeless?
The exterior of our house desperately needs repainting, so we've gotten bids from a few contractors. Each one gave us an estimate for a couple of different paints of his choosing. Now, we're trying to figure out which of the paints would be best.
We live in a mostly dry desert climate that does get rain and snow in the winter. Temps range from about 5 degrees (winter) to 115 degrees (July). Sun/fading is an issue.
We'd like to keep the cost down, of course, but want to get a paint that actually lasts (unlike the stuff that's on our house now, which started peeling after just a year).
We're leaning toward one of two contractors who recommend Sherwin-Williams Superpaint or Duration, or Pittsburgh Manor Hall or Timeless. I've read quite a bit on this forum about Superpaint and Duration (most seem to like those) but not much about Manor Hall or Timeless.
Which of these paints do you recommend and why? Is the Duration or Timeless worth the extra cost over the Superpaint or Manor Hall?
(I tried posting this question before, but it apparently wasn't added to the forum. If a duplicate shows up, I apologize!)
I love using Manor hall timeless, Sherwin Williams has gone to making not so good products with higher price tags, ten years ago they were excellent, PPG Timeless actually does what duration claims to do. I usually disreguard the price and go for the better product. Muralo's Endure is close to Timeless also and is $5.00 cheaper to, but its your home and why not take some pride in it.
California makes a great product also, there 2010 line is very good for harsh climents (New England) mainly but still is another quality brand.
Good luck

OT - Devastating Day
Our granddaughter's boyfriend and family live just down the road from us. He called her earlier today and told her his house was on fire. Being April Fool's Day, she didn't believe him. She finally called me and asked if there had been any fire trucks go by our house. Sure had! Ended up being at least 8 that I saw. There was an explosion in the garage of their ranch style home and it's a total loss. The dad is away on a business trip; there are four boys, the oldest is in his first year of college, the next one is a senior and the 2 youngest are in middle school.....all homework and textbooks/computers, gone. Meagan stayed with Zac and his mom while DD took the other 3 boys up to KMart to get them some shoes and clothes as they all ran out of the house when the explosion happened and they literally only have what they had on. They stopped by here looking for flip-flops for the boys to wear so they could get into the mall. I know the oldest boys, Zac and Zane, because of Meagan as they're almost always together. Can't remember what the younger boys names are but they begin with Z. Thankfully, they all are physically ok. Unfortunately, the dog they were sitting did not make it. After sifting through the rubble, they found their goldfish alive. Please send prayers and good thoughts to this family......it's been a very long day.
I am very sorry to hear this news. My prayers go out to the family and all concerned. As much as it has been a tragic day - I am sorry to hear of the loss of the dog - at least they got out alive. May God bless them and help them through this difficult time.
Thanks for your interest, Donna. The Red Cross has put the family up at a motel and stepdad will be on his way home tonight. According to Holly, the boys rooms are still standing but not sure how much, if anything, can be saved. Master bedroom, kitchen, family room, and garage are gutted. Lost two Harleys, a flats fishing boat, honda accord, and I think their 5th wheel may also be a total loss. They have insurance but not sure how much etc etc etc....the band booster club has offered to help, but I don't think the family really knows what their plan will be until they can all get together. I'm sure they're pretty much numb at this time and it will set in more tomorrow.
We never know what a day will bring.
I thank you for your thoughts and prayers for this family and they have also issued a big thank you. Yes, I believe prayer is a big help in ways we have no inkling of that takes place in peoples minds and hearts and guides them to do what will be a blessing.
It's been a long day.......
Oh, Sharon, what a sad story. And I whined when hail destroyed my gardens last year. Sometimes you need to hear a story like this to remind you of how incredibly lucky you are. I hope the family is able to consider their good fortune in that everyone survived and keep their spirits up for the battle ahead. It must be devastating to lose everything. I hope they are able to get all the help they need to reestablish their lives. Maybe a fund will be started for them. Please do let us know if there is anything we can do to help. Lois
It is a horrible experience for them, but thankfully everyone escaped without injury or worse. The Red Cross will help them, as will the community. If they have Insurance, they will be okay. They need alot of emotional support - my prayers are with them.
My heart goes out to them, I lost my home to a fire once. Even with insurance you still lose a lot with the prorating and the personal items that only have sentimental value.
In our small town we have a volunteer fire department and that makes me uneasy.
So glad the family is safe.
I haven't heard anything about the family yet today. Ended up 8 firetrucks plus 2 volunteer trucks plus tanker trucks going back and forth for water. Living in the boonies is nice but no fire hydrants. Will update as I get info.
That day, after the fire, the mom said, "I should thank God more often."
So many blessings are taken for granted - waking up in the morning pain-free, eyesight/hearing, use of arms and legs, having inside plumbing, electricity, coffee makers on a timer so it's ready when we walk into the kitchen, going into a closet full of clothes and shoes, food in the pantry/fridge/freezer, 1-3 vehicles plus motorized toys (bikes, boats, RV's, jet-skis), having a job, having a home to live in, yet, it can all come to an end in an instant. I think 'mom' is right.....
A family up the road from us lost everything in a housefire almost a year ago. It is almost incomprehensible how you start over with just the clothes on your back.
I am rural, and we have a volunteer fire department and squad, but our's are wonderful and it makes me feel safe to know they are there. When they put a levee up for vote, they always get overwhelming support. Ditto their squad. I've had to call them numerous times for accidents near our twisting, winding road and responders show up before the squad can even get assembled. They don't charge highway robbery either for a call like the ones in town do. Laughing about the fire hydrants. They got some sort of grant to do them a few years ago and there literally are some in front of corn fields. We lucked into having one across the road and I didn't waste any time calling my agent to get our insurance deduction for it.
I hope things go gently for this family, and they get settled soon. The trauma, I suspect, never really goes away.

New hurricane center head turned fear into career
MIAMI When the National Hurricane Center's new director was growing up on the Florida and Texas coasts, tropical storms frightened him. Decades later, Rick Knabb understands storms better, but he still doesn't like them.
"I'm still very scared of hurricanes," says Knabb, who left The Weather Channel to become chief of the U.S. government's hurricane forecasting hub in Miami on June 1. "I have a very healthy respect for what they can do and I try to channel that fear into preparedness and action."
As hurricane center director, Knabb will spend a lot of time urging coastal residents to prepare for a major hurricane by securing their homes. He will tell them to create evacuation plans and stock enough supplies to last several days without power.
He credits storm preparedness with giving him at least a little peace of mind during hurricanes.
In 1979, he watched Hurricane David take aim at his family's home outside Miami. A few years later, after the family had moved to the Houston area, there was a terrifying night spent listening to Hurricane Alicia roar inland.
At the hurricane center in 2005, as Hurricane Wilma crossed South Florida, Knabb focused on his work as a senior hurricane specialist instead of agonizing over his family riding out the storm at home.
"You know why I wasn't as scared as you might think? That's because we had prepared ahead of time," Knabb said.
Knabb, 43, replaces Bill Read, who retired after four years as director.
The childhood desire to understand hurricanes led to Knabb's career in meteorology. He studied atmospheric science at Purdue University and earned a master's and a doctorate in meteorology from Florida State.
He joined the hurricane center as a science and operations officer 11 years ago.
"There's so many people that depend on what the National Hurricane Center does, and to play any kind of role in that is a tremendous honor, and I felt that the day I walked in the door in 2001," Knabb said. "Now to be the director of the center, it's an honor beyond description."
Knabb initially worked on projects to streamline the computer models and other programs used for tropical weather forecasts, said Lixion Avila, a senior hurricane specialist at the center.
Avila encouraged Knabb to join the team of hurricane specialists, and he was a senior hurricane specialist from 2005 to 2008.
"He was very willing to learn. He has the skills in understanding the atmospheric processes and a very good way of delivering what he wants to say," Avila said. "We had to learn how to put (forecasts) in words that most people will understand but at the same time with a level of science. He was able to get that very easily."
Knabb expanded his communication skills at The Weather Channel, where he became its tropical weather expert in 2010 after two years as deputy director of NOAA's Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu.
Though he gave interviews about tropical storm forecasts during his previous stint at the Miami hurricane center, Knabb said the experience of broadcasting and getting immediate feedback from viewers has made him excited about the opportunities the hurricane center has to interact through social media.

25 year old woman | Tampa, FL, USA | Seeking men 21-35 within 50 miles
I don't need Apple Maps to get completely lost in your eyes!
I am a driven, selfless and dedicated person looking for someone special to build something really great with. I am also caring, romantic and passionate. I am serious about meeting the right person and I don't want to play games or waste anyone's time. I don't really know what is acceptable to talk about in an online dating profile so I will just state random things that may be relevant to those who may or may not want to date me: I moved to Tampa four years ago. And I have since learned it is a strange and interesting place. I don't like to drink, party, or go to clubs. I try and laugh at my own misfortunes I try and help other as much as possible (it just makes me feel good.) Health and hygiene are important to me. I'm really easy going. You can ask me anything. I like gender roles. I don't think you should date someone who is a project, I pride myself that I know how to conduct myself is a successful and meaningful relationship and that is something I am looking for in a partner. I am not a creative/artistic type.I don't honestly think I could even date that kind of person. I really like setting goals and achieving them. I try hard not to take things for granted and appreciate life and the people around me as much as possible. I am a hard-working and driven person. I really know what I want in a relationship and I won't stop until I have something worth holding onto. I have tattoo's, no tramp stamps and they are not high or usually visible, they are personal, they have meaning, and if that's a deal breaker for you, so be it, but I would prefer if you didn't judge based on the colors of my skin.

Sartori Cheese is releasing a new family heirloom cheese, 18 month BellaVitano, this July. In honor of the company's 75th Anniversary, this exclusive cheese will be available on a limited basis for the remainder of 2014.
Up until the release, Sartori's 18 month BellaVitano had previously been set aside for family. Now, the Sartori family wants to share this special cheese with all. "It's our 75th anniversary this year and we wanted to find additional ways to share our history with others. We thought maybe we could share a family treasure, and that's when we decided to release our 18 month BellaVitano," stated CEO and third generation owner, Jim Sartori.
Sartori's 18 month BellaVitano cheese has wonderfully fruity, caramelized nutty flavors. "We test the cheese at various times throughout the aging process. As the cheese matures, the flavors become more pronounced and the texture of the cheese alters. This cheese is creamy, yet crumbly due to the aging," stated Sartori Master Cheesemaker, Mike Matucheski.
Debuting in July, this extra-aged cheese will be available only for the remainder of the year.

Felicetti pasta, the world's largest maker of 100 percent organic pasta, has been named finalist for Best Organic Product & also Best Pasta, Rice or Grain in the Specialty Food Association's 2014 sofi™ Award competition.

Daiya Foods, creator of dairy-free, soy-free and gluten-free cheese alternative products, has appointed Terry Tierney as its CEO. Experiencing massive growth in the non-dairy, cheese alternative products market, Tierney's addition to the team brings seasoned, professional leadership that will help propel the company to the next level of strategic growth, said company Co-founder Greg Blake.
The recent growth of Daiya Foods – founded in Vancouver in 2008 and based on an innovative, all natural recipe widely acclaimed for its remarkable cheese-like taste, consistency and melting properties – necessitated the addition of a seasoned executive to help realize the company's aggressive long-term growth plan. Tierney has served as a director of Daiya since 2011 and has been instrumental at a strategic level in the company's success to date.
Tierney's career in the natural, organic and conventional grocery industry spans 30 years, serving in previous roles as the President and CEO of MyChelle Dermaceuticals, a leading natural skin care company; President and CEO of Allegro Coffee, one of the nation's premier specialty and organic coffee brands; Chief Marketing Officer of Frontier Natural Brands, a pioneering natural and organic products company with such prominent brands as Simply Organic and Aura Cacia; and Founder, President and CEO of Rocky Mountain Natural Foods. He is, and has been, a board member for numerous natural products companies over the last 20 years. He began his career in marketing and brand management at Kraft Foods.
"Terry has a long track record of leading companies through various growth stages even while serving as a Director for Daiya. We are thrilled to be in the position to further leverage his vast experience and skills in this new role," Blake said.
"It's an honor and privilege to become a more integral member of the Daiya leadership team. The success that the company has earned to date is a clear testament to the talent, passion and culture that co-founders Greg and Andre (Kroecher) have built from 'Daiya 1.' I look forward to building on that foundation," said Tierney.
As the dairy-free trend gains momentum and the non-dairy cheese products category continues to experience double-digit growth, Daiya has doubled its manufacturing capacity to meet current and anticipated consumer demand. By expanding its brand portfolio to other products, including Daiya Slices and Cream Cheese Style Spreads, and the newly launched Daiya Pizza – the industry's first dairy-free, gluten-free and soy-free frozen pizza – Daiya projects that its products will be sold in more than 20,000 stores by year end.
Robert Rothschild Farm is launching a new certified organic product line. These six gourmet sauces have exquisite flavor and are versatile to use for an appetizer, salad or entrée.
"We are extremely excited to launch our new organic product line," said Jim Gordon, President and CEO of Robert Rothschild Farm. "During our extensive research, we determined that great-tasting organic sauces are challenging to find. Consumers are seeking healthy choices, and we felt compelled to create outstanding sauces with on-trend flavors. Our sauces are an easy way to add distinct flavor to organic proteins or vegetables."
The new organic sauces include the following delicious flavors:
Blueberry Balsamic Sauce: Sweet blueberries are complemented by balsamic vinegar with flavorful notes from shallots, basil and black pepper to create this tangy and sweet organic Blueberry Balsamic Sauce.
Citrus Chardonnay Sauce: The organic Citrus Chardonnay Sauce pairs fennel with the sweetness of honey, bursts of flavor from oranges and Chardonnay to create this creamy sauce.
Pineapple Habanero BBQ Sauce: The popular Roasted Pineapple & Habanero Dip inspired the organic Pineapple Habanero BBQ Sauce. Sweet pineapples, honey, spicy habanero peppers and ginger make this sweet and spicy BBQ Sauce.
Sriracha Teriyaki Sauce: Classic teriyaki sauce with Sriracha and a hint of orange are blended to create this organic Sriracha Teriyaki Sauce.
Whiskey Pepper Cream Sauce: The organic Whiskey Pepper Cream Sauce has a medley of flavors from Dijon mustard, rich cream, garlic, black pepper, accented by a touch of whiskey and white miso to create a creamy sauce with a kick of heat.
White Wine Creole Sauce: The organic White Wine Creole Sauce is started with a spicy tomato base, adding a splash of white wine, and the classic trinity of celery, bell peppers, and onions to create this Southern-inspired sauce.
Robert Rothschild Farm is also reintroducing its Raspberry Thunder Sauce. It is back by popular demand. "Our consumers continually asked if we could make the Raspberry Thunder Sauce," said Jim Gordon. "We listened to our consumers and are relaunching the spicy hot sauce with a new look but the same great taste."
Raspberry Thunder Sauce: This fiery hot sauce is a spicy blend of jalapeno peppers and crushed red peppers. Add just a dash for a kick of heat.
Robert Rothschild Farm's new products will be showcased at the 60th Summer Fancy Food Show in New York City from June 29 – July 1, 2014, booth #236 or in their permanent showroom at AmericasMart in Atlanta from July 8 – 15, 2014, Building 2 West Wing #870A,B.
Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods announces the availability of a new and unique gluten free flour that easily converts any conventional recipe to a gluten free one. The new product, Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour, can simply be substituted for traditional flour, providing an easy way to create great tasting and safe gluten free baked goods.
"We hear all the time from our gluten free consumers that they wish there were an easier way to substitute gluten free flours in their favorite non-gluten free recipes," said Bob Moore, Founder, President and CEO of employee-owned Bob's Red Mill. "Our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour is our most versatile gluten free product yet, and promises to provide bakers and families with an easy path to gluten free cookies, cakes, muffins and more."
The Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour is a special blend consisting of a handful of gluten free ingredients, including whole grain brown rice flour, whole grain sorghum flour, sweet white rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour and xanthan gum. It enables bakers to follow any baking recipe and directly replace the amount of traditional wheat flour called for with the new Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour. The resulting baked good promises to offer the same flavor and texture as its conventional counterpart.
"We spent countless hours in the kitchen developing the perfectly balanced gluten free flour blend that really eliminates the frustration and intimidation that we hear about from our gluten free consumers when it comes to gluten free substitutions," said Matthew Cox, Vice President of Marketing at Bob's Red Mill. "Not only does this flour provide the simplest conversion to a gluten free recipe, it also provides results that are very similar to wheat flour."
The new Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour is made from the highest quality gluten free ingredients in a 100 percent dedicated gluten free facility. All of Bob's Red Mill gluten free ingredients and products are also batch tested in the company's quality control laboratory with an R5 ELISA Gluten Assay test to ensure the absence of gluten.
Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour is available now to retailers nationwide, as well as at www.bobsredmill.com. The 22-ounce bag has a suggested retail price of $4.95; the product is available to retailers and food service customers in 44-ounce, five-pound and 25-pound bags.

Already under fire amid recent reports of government complicity in widespread forced labor practices in its vast seafood industry, Thailand on Friday received an official downgrade by the U.S. State Department for its overall handling of human trafficking.
With the release of its yearly report on efforts by the world's goverments to combat human trafficking, the U.S. State Department placed Thailand and also Malaysia in the lowest, so-called Tier 3 status, which includes such nations as North Korea and Iran. Both countries were downgraded from their previous Tier 2 "watch list" status – a country is automatically downgraded after four consecutive years on Tier 2 unless judged by the State Department to have made significant progress to correct human trafficking issues.
Just this month, major U.S. retailers faced criticism for buying large quantities of prawns (sold as "shrimp" domestically) from the world's largest prawn farmer, Thailand's Charoen Pokphand (CP) Foods, a company that admittedly purchases fish feed from suppliers that use slave labor on their fishing vessels. One of the American retailers implicated in the scandal is Costco, CP Foods customer that says it's actively attempting to verify the reports of slavery in CP's manufacturing chain. Costco has a longstanding Supplier Code of Conduct that specifically prohibits human trafficking, among other practices.
A report following a six-month investigation that appeared in the prestigious The Guardian newspaper on June 10 documented systematic exploitation of Burmese and Cambodian immigrants, with workers being sold into slavery on Thai-based fishing vessels. Various U.S. government officials and international human rights organizations point to Thai government complicity and even involvement in human trafficking as the core issue perpetuating the country's human trafficking problem.
While designation in Tier 3 does not automatically call for penalties, the downgrade puts Thailand at risk of losing out on some forms of U.S. aid and could also result in the U.S. opposing certain types of assistance from the International Monetary Fund and other international bodies. The downgrade starts a 90-day period during which President Obama will determine what if any action to take.
While specific penalties may or may not ensue, the stigma of being relgated to Tier 3 status could prove a motivating factor for Thai reform. The New York Times had reported that Phil Robertson, the Deputy Director of Human Rights Watch Asia, suggested that the State Department report could help spur reform due to Thailand's embarrassment of "being grouped into the worse of the worse."
The Thai goverment recently disputed assertions that it is not doing enough to combat human trafficking, with the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stating in a news release last week that Thailand produced significantly more trafficking-related investigations, prosecutions and convictions last year than in 2012.
While conceeding that the country had shown some improvement, mostly with regard to sex-trafficking, Luis CdeBaca, the State Department's Ambassador at Large at its Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, stated that very little progress has been made on the front of migrant worker abuses and related government complicity. "That (migrant worker issue) is an area that needs more policing, more enforcement," said CdeBaca, according to the New York Times.
Today's thriving specialty food industry was built by the brilliance and hard work of many members of the Specialty Food Association. To honor those who have pioneered the way, the Association announces the debut of its Lifetime Achievement Awards.
As defined by the Association's Lifetime Achievement Awards Committee, the purpose of the Award is to "identify and celebrate the actions and special qualities of those persons widely recognized as having grown the industry, improved the Association, inspired companies and nurtured individuals."
Working from a list of more than 100 individuals, the Committee selected the following specialty food leaders as recipients of the inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award:
To learn more about these leading figures in specialty food, click here.
The Lifetime Achievement Awards will be presented at the Summer Fancy Food Show as part of the red-carpet keynote event and sofi™ Awards ceremony. The event is Monday, June 30 at 5 p.m. at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
A special display about the lives and accomplishments of the Lifetime Achievement honorees will be presented at Javits Center in the center's Crystal Palace throughout the show. The show takes place June 29 – July 1.
The 2014 Fresno Food Expo, presented by Union Bank, is excited to debut the innovative new products, varietals and packaging concepts entered into the New Product Awards, presented by Baker Peterson Franklin CPA, LLP, that recognize industry trendsetters and look to build community and consumer awareness about the diverse food products grown and manufactured in California's San Joaquin Valley.
A total of 44 new products were submitted to the New Product Awards from 35 different San Joaquin Valley-based companies, ranging from fresh and frozen produce; to flavor-infused water, tea, wines and liquor; to specialty ethnic foods and value-add fruits and nuts; to specialty dips, sauces and seasonings; and everything in between – all highlighting the rich diversity of food and beverage products coming from the region. All products entered are competing for the Buyer's Choice Award and the People's Choice Award.
Public voting for the People's Choice Award is now open, and members of the public are encouraged to share their thoughts as a consumer on what innovative new products stand apart in the marketplace and pique their interest. A photo and brief description of all 43 products submitted as part of the Fresno Food Expo New Product Awards can be viewed at www.FresnoFoodExpo.com by clicking on New Product Showcase or by visiting the Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/FresnoFoodExpo.
Votes are counted by the number of "Likes" on Facebook combined with the votes cast by email through the Fresno Food Expo website between now and the Fresno Food Expo public event. After voting for their favorite new products, the public is encouraged to buy their tickets for the Fresno Food Expo on July 24, 2014 in order to take advantage of the opportunity to discover the local thriving food industry and create a renewed sense of pride in what is offered in the San Joaquin Valley. The winner of the People's Choice Award will be announced that night by Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin at approximately 6 p.m.
Last year, public voting on the Fresno Food Expo website and Facebook page captured more than 5,000 votes during the three-week voting period – eventually crowning Rosa Brothers Milk Company as the People's Choice Award winner. The attention garnered through the People's Choice Award boosted product awareness online and gave added promotional value and marketplace energy to all 33 participating companies and the San Joaquin Valley as a whole. Additionally last year, Cold House Vodka's Cake Batter Vodka and Bella Viva Orchards Pure & Natural Dried Fruit Slices were awarded the "Industry Award" – renamed this year as the Buyer's Choice Award – after a tie was determined by the judging panel.
"The Fresno Food Expo provided an opportunity to build an awareness of our products in the San Joaquin Valley, helping to drive consumer demand, as well as connect us with new buyers who didn't have us on their radar," said Brean Bettencourt of Bella Viva Orchards, winner of the 2013 Fresno Food Expo "Industry Award."
During an exclusive New Product Awards preview event on June 18, all New Product Award entries were reviewed, ranked and narrowed to 10 products by a panel of marketing and food industry leaders, and the finalists for the Buyer's Choice Award were announced by Mayor Swearengin.
Finalists for the 2014 Buyer's Choice Award are:
These products will be advancing to the Celebrity Judging Panel comprised of industry experts, including world-renowned chef Erna Kubin-Clanin, owner of five-star Erna's Elderberry House and Chateau du Sureau; Whole Foods "local sourcing guru" Harvinder Singh; and Matt Jones, an influential buyer from Kroger – who will judge the finalists during the Fresno Food Expo on July 24.
The celebrity judges bring extensive experience to the awards with their unique understanding of an ever-changing consumer market from different categories within the food buying industry, but equally value the introduction of new, innovative products and concepts within an astute and very competitive industry.
Often referred to as the bread basket of the world, the San Joaquin Valley grows, manufactures and distributes enough food to feed over one-third of the nation every single day. The region has branded itself as an ideal place to find local sourcing solutions, innovative products and leading-edge packaging. The region's proximity to fresh products and access to markets around the world, has not only made this region the most productive place for growing and processing food and beverage products, but has become the powerhouse for innovation in the food industry.
Food and beverage companies located within the eight-county San Joaquin Valley region can still sign up as an exhibitor for the 2014 Fresno Food Expo at http://fresnofoodexpo.com/registration/exhibitor-registration.
The 2014 Fresno Food Expo will be held on Thursday, July 24, 2014, at the Fresno Convention & Entertainment Center New Exhibit Hall. There is a closed business-to-business portion starting at 9 a.m. that is only open to pre-registered and pre-qualified buyers and a public event in the evening from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. Tickets to the public portion are $40 and can be purchased at any Ticketmaster Box Office or online at http://fresnofoodexpo.com/registration/public-tickets. For more information about the public event and ticket discount opportunities, visit www.FresnoFoodExpo.com.
The 2014 Fresno Food Expo is made possible in part by the support of the following well-known Valley businesses that have signed on as sponsors in support of the regional food show and its mission:

we were looking for durable side tables for our deck. These w2ere perfext. We love how they store and the unique shapes. The colors are wonderful.
I loved everything about these tables when it comes to style, colors and material. I gave 4 stars b/c of price. I think they should be just under **** dollars.
Tables were actually sturdier than expected! Using them in den area in between couches, and they look great and hold up great. Like the "trundle" table for an option to pull out. Very happy with them.
These tables were fairly easy to put together (just attache the legs) and look amazing. The legs are a little lighter than I expected and make the tables feel less sturdy but they look amazing.
These are such nice tables! Well made, beautiful detail on the table tops. Easy to assemble. I would definitely purchase these again!
These tables were easy to assemble. The decor on the top is very nice. We use is outdoors and gives a nice touch to our front patio.

NYC's tiniest apartments
New York City planners are challenging architects to design ways to make it tolerable — even comfortable — to live in dwellings from 350 square feet to as small as 250 square feet. As a way to get New Yorkers to think small, the Museum of the City of New York opened an exhibit featuring a fully furnished 325-square-foot studio apartment that incorporates the latest space-saving designs. Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the winner of a competition to incorporate those designs into an apartment complex to be built on Manhattan's east side next year featuring 55 "micro units."

Hey ho, off we go again, moving camps. Here's a quick rundown on what we did in Santorini, which wasn't very much at all but we had a great time. The first day we walked down to a wee fishing village and watched a few people taking a paddle in the water. The beach as such was stony/rocky so no swimming for us. It was a good workout walking back up …
It's All Greek To Me!

In 1964 the Greek government and some private donors began the process of excavating and exploring the city and they have done a wonderful job providing a really interesting exhibit where you can get an up close view of the ruins. To have the chance to see such ...

From Red Beach we headed back to the hostel for a freshen up before going wine tasting at a really flash winery. It was up a cliff with a stunning view! We tasted a few wines then bought a couple of bottles to take up to the highest point on the island to watch ...

That horizon is too short to adequately address long-term constitutional mandates such as education and healthcare obligations. For budgeting and resource development we need to extend our planning vision. The Legislature also needs to take a hard look at what services are within the State's role and what are best provided by the private sector."
- Resource Development
- Excerpt: "Alaska has not had unemployment rates as high as the 9.8% seen nationally... yet. But at 7.6% unemployment, Alaskans should be concerned. Resource development jobs are a critical part of our economy and job creation. North Dakota, which has very business-friendly policies, has unemployment about 3%."
- Education
- Excerpt: "I am a cosponsor of SB 106 "K-12 Scholarship Program", which would allow State funding for each child's education to be managed by that child and his parents. This would permit families to choose the education format that best meets that child's educational needs. The House version of the bill is HB 145."
- Healthcare
- Excerpt: "Wise consumers use insurance to help offset risks that they could not afford to bear on their own. No one can afford to be insured for every possible risk in life, but we should be free to buy whatever type of insurance we determine that we need. Rules that force us to buy insurance plans that are bloated with government mandates are unfair and costly. In fact, requirements that we purchase health insurance are also unfair."
Campaign themes
Giessel's campaign website listed the following issues:[2]
- Energy
- Excerpt: "Our energy resources, including traditional sources (like oil, gas and coal) and innovative sources (like geothermal, wind, solar, and tidal) should be developed for the maximum benefit of Alaskans."
- Economy
- Excerpt: "Currently our State addresses economic planning just two years at a time. That horizon is probably too short to adequately address long-term constitutional mandates such as education and retirement obligations. For budgeting and resource development we need to extend our planning vision."
- Resource Development
- Excerpt: "Resource exploration and development that protects the interests of the citizens of Alaska, through continued reasonable, common sense regulation under our existing laws."
- Education
- Excerpt: "All options must continue to be available to parents, including traditional public schools, optional school programs, private schools and home school. Home school in Alaska must continue to be parent-driven."
- Healthcare
- Excerpt: "Rules that force us to buy insurance plans that are bloated with government mandates are unfair and costly. In fact, requirements that we purchase health insurance are also unfair."
- Constitutional Rights
- Excerpt: "I support strict interpretation of the U.S. Constitution and Alaska Constitution"
- Alaska State Budget
- Excerpt: "We must control our state spending... I support reducing our spending to match our income AND correcting the factors that are curtailing development of our vast resources and our under-developed private sector!"

Why cable objects to broadband being 25 MbpsJanuary 29, 2015 1:55 pm | by Brian Santo, @CEDmagazine | Blogs | Comments
MSOs are now providing broadband rates far in excess of the proposed new minimum, but the cable industry insists that's not the point. The speed definition of broadband is intrinsically tied into the network neutrality debate, which is tightly intertwined with the argument about how to classify broadband. (updated Jan. 30 to include ACA comment)

An electrode lead for a medical implant, such as a pacemaker, has a proximal end for connection to the implant and a distal end opposite thereto having an electrode and fixation structure for holding the distal end in place relative to surrounding tissue. A distal end part at the distal end has a tape ring shape, in the form of a truncated cone, and the fixation structure forms a helical thread around the distal end part. The height of the thread is such that the crest of the thread is located within an imaginary, second truncated cone that is coaxial with the distal end part. The crest of the thread is located within an imaginary cylinder that is coaxial with the cylindrical lead body and which has the same diameter as the lead body, this imaginary cylinder intersecting the imaginary, second truncated cone.
1. Electrode lead (1) for an active implant, such as a pacemaker, the proximal end of said lead being connectable to said implant and the distal part of said lead being provided with electrodes (5) for contacting the tissue of a patient, the distal end of said lead further being provided with fixation means (4) for holding the distal part of the lead in place, characterized in that the distal part of said lead at least partly is provided with a distal end part (3) generally having a tapering shape, preferably the shape of a first truncated cone, said fixation means being located on said end part and forming a helical thread (4) around said end part (3), the height (h) of the thread being chosen such that
the crest of said thread (4) is located within a second, imaginary cone (7) that is coaxial with said conical end part (3) and
the crest of said thread (4) is located within an imaginary cylinder (8) that is coaxial with the conical end part (3) and which has the same diameter as the large end of said conical part (3), said cylinder intersecting said imaginary second cone (7).
2. Electrode lead according to
3. Electrode lead according to
4. Electrode lead according to
5. Electrode lead according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the height (h) of the thread increases towards the distal end of the lead (1).
[0001] The present invention relates to an electrode lead for an active implant, more particularly to a lead with electrodes for a pacemaker or similar, in accordance with the preamble of the main claim.
[0002] Modern pacemakers systems generally comprise an implantable pulse generator and one or several electrode leads connected to the pulse generator at the proximal end of the lead(s). The distal ends of the leads are provided with electrodes for electrical contact with the myocardium.
[0003] The pulse generator normally is implanted under the skin close to the shoulder of the patient and the leads are advanced through the subclavian vein and the vena cava for instance into the right atrium and/or the right ventricle of the heart. In order to hold the lead in place and to ensure that some or all electrodes on the lead are in contact with the myocardium, the distal end of the lead may be provided with tines or similar extending outwardly from the lead as for instance disclosed in WO 98/20933. The tines or threads are for instance intended to engage the trabeculae in the apex of the ventricle.
[0004] There are several designs for facilitating the removal of leads provided with tines. One design is for instance disclosed in WO 98/20933 that shows a design in which the tines are designed so as to be detachable from the lead and remain attached to the trabeculae.
[0005] In other designs for attachment means for the distal end of the lead, the lead is provided with a helical thread extending laterally and outwardly from the lead, as for instance disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,550,737. The function of this design is generally similar to the function of the above design having tines as far as the function is concerned. The idea behind this design is to facilitate the insertion of the lead, particularly into the trabeculae. Retraction or explantation of the leads or any problems associated therewith is however not discussed.
[0006] U.S. Pat. No. 5,423,884 discloses a similar design to the one disclosed in the above '737 patent. This design also is provided with an external, helical thread on the outside of the lead. One embodiment thereof is designed with a helical, circumferential groove on the cylindrical outer periphery of the lead. In similarity with the embodiment with the external thread, the groove is intended to facilitate the introduction of the lead into the veins and preferably is to be rotated during insertion by means of a motor. Again, retraction or explantation of the lead is not discussed.
[0007] The problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a lead with anchoring or fixation means that are simple in design and simple in use during both implantation and explantation.
[0008] This problem is solved in that a lead according to the preamble of the main claim is designed in accordance with the characterizing part of the main claim.
[0009] Preferred embodiments are set forth in the dependent claims.
[0010]FIG. 1 illustrates a first embodiment of the invention,
[0011]FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the invention,
[0012]FIG. 3 shows a variation of the embodiment in FIG. 2,
[0013]FIG. 4 relates to another embodiment of the invention,
[0014]FIG. 5 is a longitudinal section through the embodiment in FIG. 2.
[0015] In the description below relating to the different drawings, parts that have the same function throughout all drawings will have the same reference signs. For instance, the silicon sleeve on the lead body will have the same reference sign, 2, throughout all drawings.
[0016]FIG. 1 is a first embodiment of the distal end of a lead according to the invention. The lead itself is denoted 1 and is a standard lead with a tubular insulating silicon sleeve 2. The part 3 of the lead carrying the fixation means 4 is in the form of a truncated cone with straight sides, the cone tapering in the distal direction. The small end of the cone carries a tip electrode 5 intended for contact with the myocardium. The lead 1 preferably has a diameter that is equal to the diameter of the large end of the conical part 3. The fixation means 4 are in the shape of a circumferential thread located on the periphery of the conical part 3. The crest of the thread is located within the periphery of an imaginary second truncated cone 7 that is coaxial with the conical part 3 and within an imaginary cylinder 8 that is coaxial with the conical part 3 and that has a diameter being equal to the diameter of the large end of the conical part 3.
[0017] Other embodiments are shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. These embodiments differ from the embodiment in FIG. 1 in that the sides of the conical part 3 in FIG. 2 are slightly concave and in that the sides of the conical part 3 in FIG. 3 are slightly convex. The dimensions and shapes of the threads are however similar to the dimensions and threads in the embodiment according to FIG. 1. The crest of the threads consequently will be located on the periphery of a second imaginary truncated cone with slightly concave envelope surfaces respectively slightly convex envelope surfaces.
[0018]FIG. 4 illustrates an embodiment in which the thread 4 is located on a tapering conical part 3 and the height of the thread is allowed to vary progressively along the entire length of the conical part towards the distal end thereof. The crest of the thread 4 is however still located on the envelope surface of a second, imaginary truncated cone although this cone has a smaller top angle than the conical end part of the distal end of the lead.
[0019] It should be noted that the height of the thread may vary along the length of the thread as long as the condition that the crest of the thread is within the imaginary second cone is fulfilled. Thus the crest for instance could be located on a sinus curve in which the highest points would be located on the imaginary cone and the intermediate, lower parts would be located within the imaginary cone.
[0020] The details of the above designs are illustrated by means of FIG. 5, which is a longitudinal section through the embodiment in FIG. 2. The conical part 3 thus is provided with fixation means in the form of a continuous external helical thread 4 projecting from the body of the conical part. The height of the thread initially increases from zero to a predetermined height h in such a way that the crest of the thread touches the inside of an cylinder forming an extension of the outside of the tubular sleeve and which has a diameter that is equal to the diameter of the large end. From the point where the thread has the height h, the height is constant for the remainder of the thread. In this way the crest of the thread in this part will be located on the inside of a truncated cone that is concentric with the conical part 3. The pitch of the thread is chosen to be relatively large, i.e. such that a relatively small rotation of the tip would result in a relatively large longitudinal movement of the tip when unscrewing the same. The thread is continuous along its entire length.
[0021] The tip electrode 5 comprises an interior bore 6. A helical interior conductor 7′ is inserted into a part of this bore and is thus electrically connected to the tip electrode 5. The bore 6 and the helical conductor 7′ thus define an inner lumen 8 in the electrode lead for insertion of a guiding stylet.
[0022] For a standard lead with a diameter of about 3 mm, a suitable length of the conical part might be about 3 mm. The conical part can be made of a biocompatible polymer that may contain substances counteracting local traumas in the tissue. The conical part might also for instance be made of titanium made integrally with the tip electrode, in which case the threaded part would be electrically insulated by means of an electrically insulating coating.
[0023] To give an idea of the dimensions involved, the thread could for instance have a pitch corresponding to about 1-2 threads/mm with a crest angle about 90� and a maximal height of about 0.2-0.3 mm.
[0024] The implantation of the lead may be performed by means of an interior stylet engaging a recess (e.g. the interior bore 6) in the electrode so as to allow the transfer of a torque to the lead tip. An example of such a stylet is described in the published international application WO 97/45158. A few turns of the lead and the lead tip will advance a few millimeters into the myocardium. In case the lead is to be anchored in the trabeculae, the rotation of the lead will advance the tip into the trabecular network without risking damage to the network due to the smooth edge of the thread. The number of turns necessary to secure the electrode would be approximately the same as the number of turns necessary to secure a normal, active, helical lead fixation means extending from the distal end of the lead of the type described in the published WO 97/45158.
[0025] When the lead has been implanted for some time, a recess that is complementary to the tip may be formed around the tip in the surrounding tissue. The recess will have an interior thread that is complementary to the thread on the tip. When the lead is to be explanted, it is preferable to use a stylet that can be locked in the lead, i.e. a stylet having the capability of transferring both torque and a pulling force to the electrode. A stylet of this kind that could be used is for instance disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,574,800. The stylet is inserted in the inner lumen of the lead and locked to the lead at the distal end thereof. Since the pitch of the thread is relatively large and the height of the thread is relatively small, the thread will go free from the complementary, interior threads formed in the recess in the tissue after a very slight rotation. The lead then easily can be pulled out from the tissue that has grown around the lead tip. Since no anchoring means are projecting from the sides of the lead tip past the periphery of the cylindrical lead body, the lead also easily can be pulled through narrow passages around the intermediate parts of the lead, for instance in the veins.

The University of Virginia's governing board is weighing several possible changes in policy following charges the school permits a culture of rape to survive on campus.
Student protestors chanted outside an emergency meeting of the board of visitors - prompted by last week's report in Rolling Stone magazine of a fraternity house rape and allegations of a culture that tolerates binge drinking and sexual assault.
The University of Virginia's Rector has issued a public apology following a report in Rolling Stone magazine that the school harbors a culture of rape. Members of the board of visitors may soon adopt a policy of zero tolerance for sexual assault and consider new limits on alcohol consumption at fraternities.
Board chairman Keith Martin said he was appalled by the Rolling Stone report which began with the story of a woman called Jackie. She said she was raped by seven men at a fraternity party. When she refused to press charges, the university took no action against the men.
The University of Virginia Governing Board meets today to address the gang rape allegations by a campus fraternity. Students, faculty and staff are all reacting to the disturbing alleged events that have placed the historic university in an unwanted spotlight.
Four people were arrested over the weekend – charged with trespassing during protests at the University of Virginia. Students and faculty expressed continued outrage following reports of gang rapes at a fraternity on campus some years ago, and UVA President Teresa Sullivan banned activities at about 60 frats and sororities through the end of the year.
Phi Kappa Psi fraternity at the University of Virginia has voluntarily surrendered its Fraternal Organization Agreement with the University and suspended all chapter activities as an investigation into rape allegations unfolds.
About 700 people rallied at the University of Virginia Thursday, responding to a Rolling Stone Magazine report detailing charges of sexual assault at a prestigious UVA fraternity. Phi Kappa Psi has since closed its doors, called the incident intolerable and pledged full cooperation with a police investigation.
