Soy-Glazed Tofu
Ah, tofu. We eat a lot of it. It's inexpensive, it's incredibly good for you, our kids love it, and you can treat it like a blank canvas. The trick is to use tofu's mild sponginess to your own advantage, preferably by impelling it to soak up a lot of salt and butter. Hence the following, which is our current go-to recipe, and we eat it at least once a week. Allowed to brown in a pan with soy sauce and lemon juice, the tofu gets crispy-edged and tangily addictive. Just be sure to buy extra-firm tofu, since any other style will fall all to pieces in the pan -- especially "silken tofu" which has the texture of jellied library paste.
- Begin by wrangling the tofu into slices. Slice around three sides of the box's plastic cover with a knife, then hold the plastic over the tofu over the sink while the liquid drains off (picture the soy version of draining a can of tuna). Now peel back the plastic, take the tofu from the box, and cut it into 12 skinny slices.
- In a very large non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. When it is foamy and very hot, lay in the tofu pieces to form a crowded single layer; if the first piece of tofu sizzles only noncommittally or not at all, give the butter another minute to heat up.
- Now brown the tofu undisturbed for around 5 minutes; when the underside is a deep golden, flip all the pieces and allow the other side to brown for another 3-5 minutes.
- Now pour in the lemon juice and soy sauce, and shake the pan to coat the bottom of every piece with the mixture, then flip all the pieces and cook, shaking the pan, until the liquid is all cooked off and the underside of the tofu looks glazed and brown.
- Serve hot or at room temperature with brown rice and a salad. Leftovers are great cold as is, or sliced into skinny strips and sprinkled over a big green salad.

I had no idea what to expect with this recipe, since I've never made tofu for tofu's sake. Everything worked great, and the recipe instructions and blog entry about this were so amusing-it totally made me WANT to make this recipe. We did use her tip of pressing the tofu, but not for half an hour. I wrapped it in a clean cloth and put a heavy pot on top while I prepped the other ingredients, so maybe for 5 minutes? A lot of moisture came out, so even that amount of time was worth it. We served this as a snack, and gave the kids chopsticks (shaped like sharks and dinosaurs, no less) —I thought they wouldn't want to eat this so adding fun eating utensils would help them eat. The trick worked!
Juan wants to try slicing the tofu the other direction and having it on a burger bun. I want to slice them thin and add them to noodles. So many ways to eat this!
This was easy and delicious. I think that if it were just part of a meal Diego would have eaten more (and if he didn't think it was going to be sweet before he ate it). Four of us loved it and want to make it again right away.

PLATTSBURGH — The North Country illustrates the benefits of increased collaboration between educational institutions, businesses, government and economic developers.
That brought New York State Department of Labor Commissioner Peter Rivera to Plattsburgh recently for a briefing on economic and workforce development.
He later toured the CV-TEC satellite campus and spoke at a luncheon hosted by the CV-TEC Culinary Arts program.
"This was a tremendously interesting experience I've had," Rivera said.
He plans to make an example of such collaboration as he meets with leaders in other parts of the state.
Local success has been evident in the first two Regional Economic Development Council competitions, where the North Country was awarded $90.2 million for 82 projects in 2011 and $103.2 million for 70 projects in 2012.
"I expect the North Country to shine again this year," Rivera said.
He spoke after a tour of the CV-TEC satellite campus, where he visited Plattsburgh Aeronautical Institute and the CV-TEC Welding Program.
He also performed a ceremonial ribbon-cutting at the CV-TEC Heavy Equipment Program, which is nearing completion of its relocation to the satellite campus from the main campus.
Satellite campus Principal James McCartney said that move has provided the program with 4,000 square feet of indoor shop space. Upgrades include a new Hunter and Mohawk heavy-equipment lift and alignment rack with a 75,000-pound lift capacity and a new Gorbel jib crane capable of hoisting 5 tons.
The satellite campus also provides about 250,000 square feet of outdoor space for students to learn to safely operate heavy equipment.
McCartney said the Welding Program has provided specialized training to Bombardier employees — a 700-hour course on stainless-steel welding aligned with Canadian Welding Certification and American Welding Society standards, paid for through Department of Labor grant funds.
CV-TEC is in collaboration with Bombardier to craft an agreement to train the company's welding supervisors in basic welding theory and applied welding theory so they better understand the work in their departments.

He wears a crimson and white jersey and competes against the likes of rivals Auburn and Tennessee.
His sport — that's no so typical.
You won't find the Jasper native scoring on a break-away dunk in Coleman Coliseum or catching footballs at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
But he does make catches, and plenty of them. Only Johnson's catches involve a rod and a reel as part of the Alabama Bass Fishing Team.
For Johnson, who grew up fishing with his father on Smith Lake, the Warrior River, as well as other area hot spots, the move from recreational angler to being the President of the Crimson Tide Bass Fishing Team was a seamless transition.
"I've been fishing pretty much my entire life," said Johnson, a 2008 Walker High School graduate. "I've had a rod and reel in my hand since I was 2 or 3 years old. I've been fishing for as long as I can remember. It's all I've ever done."
Once he found out the University of Alabama had a bass fishing team, he wanted to be involved.
"Being on the team was something I wanted to do since I was in high school and I found out that the university had a team," Johnson said.
Growing up in Jasper, Johnson's first love was always fishing.
While other kids his age were playing baseball and football, Johnson was as the lake. Although he says he did give other sports a chance.
"I played tennis and soccer up until the eighth grade," Johnson said. "But it started getting to where I was playing soccer in a winter league in Birmingham. It was really cutting into my fishing time so I had to quit."
Following high school, Johnson went to Bevill State Community College. From there, Johnson made the move to Tuscaloosa and has been part of the Crimson Tide squad since.
He served as the team's president last season and will assume the role again next season, which will be his third on the team.
Johnson, the son of Tommy and Gail Johnson of Jasper, recently returned to Tuscaloosa after competing in the 2012 Bassmaster College Series National Championship in Arkansas where he and teammate Dustin Connell finished fourth in the 57-team event.
It was just the latest in a string of strong finishes for Johnson. He has been an All-Southern Collegiate team selection twice. Also, Johnson and teammate Keith Kirkley finished third in the Team of the Year standings this season.
What does it take to be on the University of Alabama Bass Fishing Team?
Johnson said there are just a few requirements.
A prospective University of Alabama angler must have access to a boat to fish in five qualifying events, maintain a 2.0 GPA and attend 75 percent of club activities. There are currently 24 active members on the team.
Alabama's Bass Fishing Team is recognized by the university and is considered a club sport, much like the school's ice hockey team. The sport is not NCAA sanctioned.
To become part of the Tide's travel team, members have to compete against one another to set up seeding.
"We fish five qualifying events a year. We do it on the points system. You add up the four best tournaments of the year and whoever has the most points wins. The top six make up our 'travel' team. Our top six get to go to the BoatUS national championships in May," said Johnson.
One of this year's qualifying events came at Smith Lake, where Johnson finished first. At the qualifying events, he racked up three fifth-place finishes as well as a ninth-place to easily make the top six.
Johnson has racked up plenty of high finishes during his time with the Tide. At the BoatUS national championships, Johnson and Kirkley placed 21st. He made the All-Southern Collegiate team in his first year at Alabama as well as this season with a different partner.
"I've made it twice with two different partners. Hopefully, I will do something like that again next year," Johnson said.
Of course his career has had its share of ups and downs.
Johnson remembers his first competitive event as a member of the Crimson Tide — and not fondly.
"In the first tournament, I finished in the 60s out of 90 boats," he said.
The poor finish only inspired him.
"When you don't do well, you don't quit. You put your head down and work harder. That's something my dad instilled in me. It's the competitive drive that comes out. Instead of putting in eight-hour days at practice, put in 12- to 15-hour days. Or if you have the chance to practice, practice two or three extra days," said Johnson, who is on track to graduate with a degree in advertising next May.
He owes his success to fishing.
"I'm blessed to be here. Being on the team was the main reason for coming (to Alabama). If I wasn't on the fishing team I wouldn't be in school right now," Johnson said.
"There is nothing like it. That's the thing about being on a team. People have asked me, 'Is it really a sport or is it you and a guy fishing in a boat and wearing a jersey?' It is a collegiate sport. You don't get that until the weigh in. Everybody is yelling. Auburn fans are yelling, 'War Eagle!' Arkansas fans are yelling 'Pig Sooie!' And of course Alabama fans are yelling, 'Roll Tide!' It's a lot of fun. It gives us guys, especially the ones who didn't have a chance to play football or baseball at the college level — a chance to play a collegiate sport."

The Constitutional and Administrative Bar Association (ALBA) hosted an invigorating debate on Tuesday night, pitting Minister without Portfolio Ken Clarke against Shami Chakrabarti, Director of Liberty, over the question of Closed Material Procedures (CMPs) in civil claims, as proposed in the Justice and Security Bill.
The Bill is currently going through the parliamentary process, having reached the report stage in the House of Commons on 4 March 2013. Of particular note to those with an interest in human rights are the proposals to introduce CMPs into civil damages actions, where allegations such as complicity in torture by the UK intelligence agencies are made.
Ken Clarke defended the proposals in the Bill to use CMPs in civil damages claims. He argued that the government is currently forced to settle claims, because to make a defence would require public revelation of information of high value to those who wish to harm the UK, in particular by posing a threat to national security. In claims of this type, he argued, it is in effect impossible for the government to permit a defence to be made, resulting in expensive settlements being paid out to claimants.
He explained that the status quo, where the government can apply for a public interest immunity (PII) certificate, allowing it to withhold material from disclosure, is inadequate for a number of reasons, including that the judge deciding the case never gets to see the material, even though it may be highly relevant to the issues being argued about. The current proposals for circumstances where CMPs may be held, he argued, have several important safeguards built into them and the judge retains discretion not to hold a CMP even if those hurdles are overcome.
His crucial point was that CMPs allow trials to occur, testing the evidence, rather than the government settling cases to prevent the risk of information of a highly sensitive nature escaping. This would make intelligence agencies "more accountable" because a judge would be able to test their defences.
Shami Chakrabarti on the other hand described the proposals as an "odious bill". Her central attack was based on the fact that CMPs do not allow claimants to see the evidence used to defend against their claims. This allows "one side in civil litigation to control the court room". The debate, she believes, is about "equality of arms".
She vehemently denied that the government currently has no option but to pay damages to settle civil claims of this nature: applications for PII certificates had not even been applied for in some cases, she said. This option is currently open to the government as a means of protecting national secrets, and she was not aware of a single case where a judge had been accused of making the wrong decision in relation to PII, endangering national security. The best way for security agencies to protect their reputations, she stressed, was not to "get mixed up in torture".
She rebutted Ken Clarke's argument that the Bill would lead to more trials, and that this would be beneficial for the administration of justice by allowing the real issues to be tested in Court, stating "fair trials don't equal more trials".

In Tuesday's Healthier Me, researchers at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) say smoking rates are significantly higher among adults with a mental illness.
The new report finds that adults with some form of mental illness have smoking rates seventy percent higher than those without an illness; they smoke more cigarettes each month and are also less likely to quit. Experts say one in five Americans has a mental illness -- defined as a mental, behavioral or emotional disorder -- and the researchers say more effort needs to be made to combat smoking among this population and promote anti-smoking options.

From season tickets to tithing, helping others takes many forms.
Last week I wrote about "radical optimism," or planning for a future I can't quite see. Now I'd like to talk about another optimistic step at an inauspicious time: giving away a little more money next year.
In 2007 I was pledging $20 a month to my church's social assistance programs. That pledge rose each year as my finances improved, to its current $80 a month. After some thought, I decided to inch it up to $100 a month for 2010.
Let me be clear: This is not an essay about religion. It is, however, an essay about faith.
Key steps to take and traps to avoid if you pursue this homebuying method.
This post comes from partner blog The Dough Roller.
In 2005 I became a landlord. A good friend and I began investing in single-family homes in the Midwest. We purchased two HUD foreclosures in 2005, and since then we've added three more HUD foreclosures to our portfolio.
When we advertise one of our homes for rent, we always advertise the property as a rent-to-own home, also called a lease option. We structure the agreement to allow the tenants to purchase the home within a specified period of time for a set price.
We've entered into several lease-to-own agreements with tenants, although we've yet to sell one of the homes to a tenant (more about that in a minute). This experience has taught me two things: Tenants make major mistakes when entering into a lease-purchase agreement, and some landlords take advantage of tenants who don't understand how to approach a contract for a rent-to-own house.
Because rent-to-own real estate is becoming more and more common, this article will identify tips on how to negotiate a fair lease option with a potential landlord and potential traps you should watch out for.
Free spaghetti and coupons for T.G.I. Friday's, plus more.
If you're hungry, we've got the Friday food freebies and deals.
You already know about the free piece of grilled chicken for everyone at KFC on Monday, Oct. 26.
Some of last week's deals are still good, too.
Burger King rolled out an addition to its Value Menu this week, the quarter-pound Double Cheeseburger for $1. The sandwich has two flame-broiled hamburger patties, crunchy pickles, ketchup, mustard and two slices of American cheese on a sesame seed bun. If you're a fast-food aficionado, let us know how you like it.
Here are some other deals, courtesy of our friends at Cities on the Cheap:
A disproportionate number of the 7 million jobs wiped out by the recession were held by men.
A recent column by James Surowiecki in The New Yorker convinced us that "the new frugality" won't last once good times return (and is probably just a figment of our imaginations anyway). Let's finally put that discussion to rest. (We will. See below.)
But there is a trend the Great Recession has inadvertently gifted with real staying power: It's more common that American women are the co- or often leading source of income for their families, i.e., they're making more than their husbands.
- Bing: Top-earning U.S. women
"The Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Changes Everything" says:
Today, four in five families with children still at home are not the traditional male breadwinner, female homemaker. And women are increasingly becoming their family's breadwinner or co-breadwinner. The deep economic downturn is amplifying and accelerating this trend.
And it also looks like many folks are getting used to the idea. A survey done for the Shriver Report shows that "65.3% of women and 61.2% of men strongly agreed with the idea that they are comfortable with women earning more than men in a household," Allison Linn reported in a story at MSNBC.
Deals include a $149 netbook and $49 digital camera.
Halloween isn't even here yet, but one of the first big Black Friday sales ads has already been leaked: the circular for OfficeMax.
The best deals listed for one of the biggest shopping days of the year, the day after Thanksgiving, include an Acer Aspire netbook with Intel Atom processor, 10-inch screen and Windows XP for $149, half off its regular price of $300.
- Find on Bing: More on Black Friday sales
The same ad shows an Olympus X905 10 MP digital camera for $49. That camera is now on sale at OfficeMax for $99, marked down from $149.
The essentials about this cheap, healthy food -- plus recipes. Yum.
This guest post comes from Kris at Cheap Healthy Good.
Some will balk at their flavor and size. Many will have texture issues. And still others just won't enjoy the gas.
But know this: There are few cheaper, healthier, and more versatile foods than the humble bean. Members of the legume family, beans can be found everywhere from gourmet restaurants to campfire cauldrons. They've been vital to the survival of certain populations, and instrumental to the development of particular cuisines.
Also, they taste good.
Still, there are folks out there unfamiliar with chickpeas and pintos, kidney and black beans. And for them, CHG proudly presents the following: a breakdown of why beans are wonderful, plus 42 tried-and-true recipes in which to use them.
This time, company says it is ready
If you missed the last KFC freebie, the Colonel (or his deputy) has a deal for you. Today, Monday, Oct. 26, more than 5,000 KFC restaurants nationwide will give each customer one free piece of grilled chicken.
Company president Roger Eaton promises you'll really get your free chicken this time.
Unlike the giveaway promoted by Oprah in May, when customers were turned away after stores ran out of chicken, the company promises it is ready for the onslaught, or what it hopes will be an onslaught of customers, The Associated Press reported. An earlier giveaway in April went well.
Some universities charge extra if you major in business or engineering.
You know this airplane scenario: Passengers compare notes on how much they spent for seats that you'd think would cost the same. It ticks you off when you find out you've paid the most, doesn't it?
Transfer that discussion to the Student Union Building, except now everyone is comparing tuition. That's right. Some universities -- including those in the University of California system -- are thinking about charging higher tuition to students who major in more lucrative fields -- specifically engineering and business.
Many schools are already doing it, probably more than you think. Engineering and business are often targeted, but some students in nursing, architecture and music (music??) also pay more. Meanwhile, college costs for all students, including those in California, continue to climb overall as states cut spending and endowments shrink.
"Miss M" at M is for Money, who is an engineer in real life, thinks charging some undergraduate students more than others is a very bad idea.

Nursing Department
The Nursing Department, established in 1983, began as a BSN degree completion program for registered nurses. A weekend program was started in September 1989 and was selected by the Army Nurse Corps as an educational pathway that would fulfill the military obligations of the reserve nurse while she or he earned a baccalaureate degree. The first military weekend group graduated in the spring of 1992. (The weekend option is also available to non-military RNs.) Nursing programs now include a traditional four-year, undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Nursing curriculum, the RN-to-BS-to-MS Upward Mobility Track, the MS in Nursing Leadership, MS Nurse Practitioner and MS Clinical Specialist tracks, Post-Master's Certificates in the Nurse Practitioner and Nursing Leadership tracks, a Post-Master's Certificate in Nursing Education, and a Doctorate of Nursing Practice program.
The Nursing Department is an integral component of Regis College. Founded upon the ideals expressed in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and dedicated to the exploration of religious traditions, Regis College is committed to excellence in scholarship and service. In concurrence with the mission of the college, the nursing faculty accept the responsibility of providing an environment in which the learner can gain a breadth of knowledge in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences, as well as an in-depth understanding of one sector of learning. The faculty believes that by fostering professional growth, they encourage the student to become a positive influence on the nursing profession and society.
The Nursing Department is committed to the education of nurses from the undergraduate through the doctoral level. The faculty believes that multiple levels of nursing practice exist. The nursing education program at Regis College provides the structure for multiple entry and exit points along the continuum of the nursing profession beginning with the associate degree and continuing through the doctoral degree. The program builds a solid foundation for future endeavors in professional development and educational mobility.
The nursing faculty believes the central concepts of the discipline of nursing are person, environment, health, and nursing. These four concepts are viewed generically. The concept of person may refer to individuals, families, groups, communities, organizations, or society as a whole. Every person has inherent dignity, worth, and individuality, and a right to comprehensive, compassionate health care. The person is a unique biopsychosocial, cultural, and spiritual being who continuously interacts with the environment throughout the lifespan.
Environment refers to all the conditions, circumstances, and influences surrounding and affecting the development of the person. It refers to all possible internal and external stimuli that may influence behavior and adaptation. It may be considered past, present, and future but is always seen in the context of the present.
Health is a dynamic state of being and becoming integrated and whole in which the individual adapts to changes in the environment.
Nursing, as an art and science, is a developing system of knowledge about persons, health, and their environment. Further, nursing is unique in the way it synthesizes the liberal arts and the physical, biological, and social sciences through the use of nursing process in the design and delivery of therapeutic nursing interventions for individuals, families, groups, the community, and society.
Programs of Study
Regis College School of Nursing, Science, and Health Professions offers the Associate, Baccalaureate, Master's and Doctoral Degrees in Nursing, Post-Master's Certificates for Nurse Practitioners Nursing Leadership Nursing Education.
The Associate Degree is offered through the Lawrence Memorial/Regis College Collaborative ASN Program. Classes are offered on both the Medford and Weston campuses. Prospective students should call 781-306-6600 or visit www.lmregisnurse.org.
There is a traditional, four-year baccalaureate degree program that prepares individuals for professional practice as registered nurses. The program integrates study in the liberal arts and sciences with professional nursing education and culminates in the BS degree in nursing. Students must earn a GPA of 3.0 or better and earn no grade in pre-requisite courses below 2.0 in order to qualify for the major. Students must earn a minimum 2.7 (B-) in all nursing courses to progress in the major.
Nursing at Regis College participates in the College's Degree-in-Three Program. Typically, admitted candidates have a recalculated high school grade point average of at least 3.4 and a combined score of at least 1100 on the mathematics and critical reading sections of the SAT. The SAT writing section also may be reviewed.
The RN-to-BS-to-MS Upward Mobility Track allows students with an associate's degree or diploma in nursing to earn both the BS degree in Nursing and MS in Nursing within one curriculum track. Students have the option of exiting the program with the BS degree. Registered nurses who have a baccalaureate degree in a discipline other than nursing may enter this accelerated pathway as well.
The Graduate Program offers the MS degree in Nursing Leadership, with a concentration in Business Management for Diverse Health Care Systems, or a concentration in Regulatory Affairs. The Nurse Practitioner Track offers four primary care areas of specialization—pediatric, family, women's health and psychiatric mental health. The Clinical Nurse Specialist track is focused on acute care and critical care settings. RN graduate students may choose to study full-time or part-time. One full-time curriculum track is designed for non-nurses who hold a baccalaureate degree in a field other than nursing. This track requires the completion of certain prerequisite courses and requires three years, including two summers of study. Students take the NCLEX-RN exam after sixteen months and at the end of the second year a BS degree in Nursing is awarded. At the completion of the third year, an MS in Nursing is awarded and students are eligible to take nurse practitioner certification examinations. The Post-Master's Certificate program prepares registered nurses who hold a master's degree in nursing for advanced practice as pediatric, family, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, or nursing education.
The DNP curriculum is a post-master's curriculum based on an advanced practice curriculum. The DNP is designed for the clinical specialist, nurse practitioner, or advanced practice nursing leader.
The DNP curriculum is comprised of 11 courses (21 core curriculum credits and 9 elective credits). A maximum of 6 graduate credits may be accepted for transfer. In addition to the 8-course core curriculum, students select 3 graduate electives.

Rosie's Place
Regis College nursing students and faculty have been going to Rosie's Place, a sanctuary for poor and homeless women, since summer 1994. Students provide health education, health promotion, and health maintenance services to the residents. The heart of Rosie's Place is the dining room, where students meet women who never imagined they would find themselves in such circumstances. They hear the women's stories within an atmosphere of trust and open communication and they develop the most basic of nursing skills—the therapeutic use of self.

Unemployment rates drop sharply across Bay Area, state

I'm sure the Danville Express is telling us this as an informational matter.
Oh wait one minute...maybe we are being told this because the Danville Express staff wants us the understand that Obama is putting people back to work...so a vote in November for Obama is a vote for lower unemployment....WOW
Please Danville Express, we the people have been fooled already by those wonderful folks in DC...don't you start carrying their torch.
I think the DE should leave this kind of news or propaganda to the big bad boy's...stick to local news...it fits you better.
Thanks for Listening, Julia Pardini from Alamo

Really? The unemployment rate drops sharply two weeks before the election and the Danville Express believes it?
I gotta nifty bridge, painted gold, almost new, for sale...

The trouble is, if somebody told you it's because businesses are more confident, now that Romney has a shot -- you'd believe that.
All it really means, Rick, is that it's finally time for you to get a job.

We, the Maloney family — Terry, Judith, and Field — began making hard cider commercially in l984. We'd been making cider for ourselves and friends for years before that. We moved to the North East Berkshires from Northern California in l972, bang into Apple Country. Though we didn't find grapes for our year's supply of wine, instead we found a living, pleasurable tradition. Our neighbors had been fermenting for generations, using their own apples and those they gleaned from nearby favorite trees. We started doing the same, but applied California winemaking techniques to this seasonal Yankee tradition.
We were impressed by the variety and complexity of ciders that could be made from differing blends of apples and cellaring techniques. We decided that cider — a beverage long forgotten except in hill counties and countries — deserved another chance. There was no commercial market for cider: for most it was unknown, for some a distant memory. We fermented our first vintage for sale in'84, becoming the first U.S. winery to specialize in hard cider.Time for a CIDER REVIVAL!
For almost 30 years we have made cider. Pine Hill Orchards in our town presses apples for us, while we sort. We grow 3.5 acres of cider apples. Starting with 100 cases, we've moved forward to 1800 cases in 2012. The cider is made and bottled in our cellar,with us above. Making small batches, the ciders have been welcomed by those interested in apple possibilities. Though our cellar was once described as Rube Goldberg, Terry worked with great attention and growing certainty. I his wife Judith worked alongside, along with Mike Barnes. Field our son grew up as part of our upstairs/downstairs world. He has listened to, smelled, helped bottle and ferment since boyhood.
We are 'learning' apple growers, even after all these years. Michael Barnes has developed into a known apple man, as well as a cog that holds together so much.There is much joy in growing apple trees, and tasting the fruit.
Terry passed away during cidermaking in January 2010. He had been an emergency room doctor from 1972 to 2005. He had worked hard and followed a vision. He had many caring friends and a beloved family. We all miss him and sometimes try to piece together what we should do next.
County Cider's

(CISA, www.buylocalfood.com)
We have an orchard of about 1400 trees of English, French, and American varieties of cider apples. Cider varieties are grown for pressing: their concentrated flavors that do so well in cider make for a surprising eating experience. To quote George Saintsbury, English bon-vivant, in Notes on a
Cellar-Book (l933): Cider-apples furnish one of the most cogent arguments to prove that Providence had the production of alcoholic liquors directly in its eye. They are good for nothing else whatever and they are excellent good for that.
We begin making cider in late October, after the apples have matured. After we sort the apples, they are pressed into cider. Then we ferment and bottle the freshly-pressed juice in small batches at our Catamount Hill Bonded Cellar.
The varieties of apples fermented give each cider its particular flavor and structure. For example, Golden Russet is a sweet apple, low in acid and moderate in tannins. Kingston Black is acidic and tannic (bittersharp); Dabinett has lots of tannin and very little acid (bittersweet). We grow traditional American Roxbury Russet and Golden Russet, as well as Baldwin and Redfield in our orchard, along with the European varieties Tremlett's Bitter, Reine de Pomme, and Dabinett.
The test orchard has over twenty traditional American and European varieties. We make test batches from the fruit, and select promising varieties for larger scale planting.
"The Next Great Drink
The Maloney family from Colrain, Mass, offers the lightest, cheerful bottled hard cider-the very thing to drink with dinner...
To appreciate the subtle location in the musical scale of the mouth of the taste of this hard cider from West County Hard Cider, first rid your taste buds of the things it is not. It is not dark, swilly and robust like regular cider (however good), nor does it have that slightly frustrating neither here nor there quality of a wine cooler. It's not wine of course, though there's a distant cousinship-pingponging from grape to apple-between the lightest of light white wine and this bubbly hard cider, which has less than half the alcohol (from four to six percent), a difference you can pleasantly appreciate when you can still read a book after dinner. This family winery, in business since l984, uses local apples (not from concentrate!) blending bittersharp and bittersweet ones with sharps like northern spy and sweets like red delicious. Too bad it must be called 'hard' because if anything it tastes and makes you feel easygoing. Also too bad the word 'refreshing' has been overused by tinny tacky soft drinks, because it well applies. It's an Emma Thompson of a drink, both modest and bracing. Bottled (no six packs) and capped, this cider goes very well, unobtrusively, indeed enhancingly, with food. It comes in 'bone-dry'to sweet-and even that is restrained-and can be found at DeLuca's, Martighetti, Hi-Rise Bread Company-and on tap at the Plough and Stars."

CATEGORIES MoviesRobert DeNiro and Shia LaBeouf may be signing on to play a ripped-from-the-headlines, father-son spy duo in the movie "Spy's Kid."
Paramount has gained the rights to the film, which is based on the six-part series of articles by Bryan Denson that were published by the Oregonian in 2011. The series told the true story of a traitorous CIA spy who was sentenced to 23 years in prison, but then enlisted his son in 2004 to continue his work.
The project would reunite LaBeouf with his "Disturbia" and "Eagle Eye" director D.J. Caruso. Both DeNiro and LaBeouf are still in talks to attach themselves to the project, and their final decisions will depend on the script -- though no screenwriter is attached yet.

Summer Program in Public Policy and International Affairs (PPIA)
Program Overview
The Ford School proudly marks this summer as our 33rd year hosting a PPIA Junior Summer Institute - an intensive seven-week summer program that focuses on preparing students for graduate programs in public policy and international affairs. Courses focus on improving students' communication and quantitative reasoning skills, which are vital to their success in graduate programs. PPIA fellows take three courses: statistics, microeconomics, and policy modules.
Participants Receive
- $1,000 Stipend
- Travel expenses
- Housing & meals
- Books & related course supplies
- Library & computer access
- Statistics
This course covers descriptive statistics, probability theory, probability distributions, sampling distributions, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing. It also includes an introduction to experimental design. The emphasis in the course is on preparing competent users and consumers of basic statistics.
- Microeconomics
This course teaches the fundamental concepts in microeconomic theory that are essential as a foundation for the study of public policy, law and international affairs. Students learn economic theory in order to model decision-making processes. They also learn how to evaluate whether an outcome is good for society and what incentives are needed to achieve a desired outcome. Each course lecture includes a policy debate where students use economic models to analyze a policy problem and propose solutions.
- Policy Modules
In this course, Ford School faculty introduce students to current policy issues, enabling them to apply analytic tools and to improve their communication skills -particularly writing composition. One policy module will focus on an international policy topic and a second will be domestically focused. The material and approaches used in these modules will draw from the statistics and economics courses. Students will write policy memos analyzing each topical area, and will gain expertise in oral presentation.
New for 2014: JSI fellows will also participate in a third module on Monetary Policy taught by Ford School Dean Susan Collins in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank.
- Writing Instruction
Students will work with the Writing Instructor for the duration of the program. The Writing Instructor conducts seminars on graduate school writing, with an emphasis on writing for a school of public policy and international affairs. He also meets with students in individual writing conferences to give feedback, suggestions and critiques.
- Students will participate in lunch meetings with guest speakers and attend professional development workshops focused on preparing for graduate school, the graduate school admissions process, writing a statement of purpose and creating a professional resume.
- During past programs, students have visited the cities of Detroit, Flint and Lansing to meet with government officials, community organizers and policy makers. They have also taken advantage of Ann Arbor's robust cultural and social atmosphere by participating in summer festivals like Top of the Park and the Ann Arbor Art Fair.
- Application deadline - November 1, 2013
- Admission notification - February 3, 2014
- Program begins - June 8, 2014
- Program ends - July 25, 2014
PPIA Fellows who successfully complete any PPIA Junior Summer Institute and who are admitted to the Master in Public Policy (MPP) program at the Ford School will be eligible to compete for a Rackham Masters Award, consisting of four semesters of tuition and fees, a stipend (currently $10,000.00 per year) and health care.

"Everyone loved this Christmas card! We used a close up shot of our children which fit within the frame perfectly. The kids really look beautiful within this magical card."
"Simplistic, Country Charm. Final product was exactly as designed with good selection of text and photo filters and tools."
"This was a great Christmas Card because it allowed me to put a large family picture without any borders and of course Merry Christmas on the bottom. The back of the card was also beautifully decorated as well."
"Card turned out even better than I anticipated. Graphic design & scale perfect for my photograph. Paper quality of the card and envelope exceptional. Excellent customer service - thank you Brian! Quick turnaround. Very pleased."
"My cards are beautiful and I've gotten great compliments on them. Every one loved the vintage look to them, I was very pleased as well. I initially was disappointed when I had paid for overnight expedited delivery and I didn't receive them as I expected, but the young lady at customer service was very nice and immediately refunded my shipping cost. Luckily, although they were late arriving, I was able to send them out just on time to be received by Christmas."

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
MD Anderson now offers gamma knife radiosurgery to treat difficult tumors in the head and neck area. Gamma Knife provides accurate tumor targeting with a single dose of radiation, freeing patients from multiple radiation treatments and allowing them to return to a normal routine within a few days of treatment.
The Lexsell Gamma Knife® PERFEXIONTM system, manufactured by Sweden-based Elekta, is a fully automated radiosurgery system. Using high-resolution images from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans, a computer automatically calculates the exact dose to be administered by 192 individual radiation beams. The resulting treatment plan allows radiosurgeons to focus high-dose radiation along the exact dimensions of the tumor, while sparing delicate structures surrounding the treatment area.
The size of the radiation beams can be adjusted to as small as four millimeters in diameter to reach small tumors. The automation allows both radiation oncologists and neurosurgeons to treat multiple lesions in a single procedure.
The Gamma Knife system is proving to be ideal for areas that cannot be reached by surgery. Patients who cannot tolerate surgery or who have had previous radiation therapy to the brain may also be candidates for Gamma Knife. With further study, Gamma Knife may be offered as frontline therapy for certain patients with cancers to the brain, head and neck.
Gamma knife surgery is best for:
- Cancer that has metastasized (spread) to the brain, head or neck area
- Tumors in the base of the skull
- Malignant gliomas
- Acoustic neuromas
- Pituitary tumors
- Meningiomas
For more information on gamma knife surgery or for patient referral, please contact Patient Access Specialist Cindy Kizer at 713-563-2405.

It was a gorgeous
day for some family fun and that's exactly what was had in Chippewa Falls
today at the Pure Water Days Parade.
Families flooded the streets of Chippewa Falls today for the sights and sounds of
the 37th annual Pure Water Days Parade.
"Pure water days started 37
years ago when the mayor of Chippewa Falls bet another mayor in a town in New Mexico that they had
the purest water in the world. The other mayor thought they had purest water in
the world. Well, they had a contest and somebody judged it and Chippewa Falls won," says Karin Schuler, the
parade organizer.
Even with a shortened parade route, more
than 60 floats were there some that come every year and some new ones.
"We've got WQOW in the parade
for the first time this year," Schuler says.
And some that were done just in the
nick of time.
"It took us about 30 hours to
complete the entire float with help from volunteers," says Kari Rinholen,
Miss Durand 2013.
But they say their hard work pays
"The little girls are always
like oh my god, it's pink. I love pink. So, it's just a lot of fun to see the
kids reactions to it," says Rinholen.
Floats, horses and cars are nice but
that is not what brings the kids to the streets.
They come for the candy and stay for
local sweets.
always come with my aunt and then we go to Olson's ice cream after we're done,"
says Morgan Freeman, a Barron teenager.
The fun doesn't
end when the parade does. The Duck Splash Festival, an annual fundraiser and
raffles are taking place right now at Marshall Field in Chippewa Falls.
Tomorrow there is a community worship and a quilt show.

PLAYBILL BRIEF ENCOUNTER With Rob Ashford, the 2012 Tony-Nominated Choreographer of Evita

Tony Award-winning Thoroughly Modern Millie choreographer Rob Ashford is celebrating his seventh Tony Award nomination for the first-ever Broadway revival of the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical Evita.
This production of Evita is so cinematic. There is a constant sense of movement throughout. Where does your work as choreographer, and that of director Michael Grandage, begin and leave off?
Part of that achievement is also the work of the designers, too, right?
The original Hal Prince production of Evita is iconic. It has toured and been restaged across the world. Part of that package is Larry Fuller's Tony-nominated choreography. Did that shadow you at all?
Did you still have that in your muscle memory when you revisited the music?
You want to reinvent it, somehow, and with all of our knowledge of Argentina and what it is now. It was really nice to get to the real depth of the people, the heart of the people and come from there. The idea was to do a more naturalistic and realistic version. The set is realistic, the tango is the basic [movement] language [throughout]. It's more natural [dance flow] rather than [the] clever commenting and staging that they did in the original. I think both are valid. I think the original is brilliant, myself.
What were some of the first moves or images that came to you when you began work on Evita?
Another was the Charity Concert. The idea was that...there would be these shadow dancers in the back, dancing alone. The rule was that nobody could dance as a couple, a sexual couple, until Peron and Eva got together. That was one of the first ideas. So we had these shadow couples, men and women separate, dancing as if they had a partner, and they cannot touch or be together until Peron and Eva were together. As soon as they come together, then the other couples come together and we have that dance of passion that they all do.
A very exciting moment in the production is "Buenos Aires." The way the set opens, and we see the bustling city, is such a powerful visual.

FOCUS North America's ReEngage Program began its first week of the six-week Man Class with ten students. This newest Man Class is being taught at Reconciliation Services-FOCUS Kansas City. This is the first time the class has been taught at the FOCUS Kansas City center and Director Rodney Knott is excited.
"It creates a platform for us to begin to develop the model that we want to see in other FOCUS centers around the country," Knott said.
This first class being taught at a FOCUS center is being documented and filmed with the hope of replicating it at all of the FOCUS Centers and Chapters.
The class runs every Tuesday and Thursday from 10am to noon for six weeks. The 12-part educational program's goal is to create an understanding of true manhood. The Man Class emphasizes responsibility, mentoring, communication skills, life development, work readiness and how to properly engage with one's family and community. Men who complete the classes will receive a shirt, tie and suit from Men' Warehouse!

Submit Your Listomania
Every Sunday at 1pm Bernard plays a list of songs with a common theme.
The themes range from the genius to the bizarre, but all have one thing in common: one hour of great rock music.
If you feel inspired and have an idea for a list of your own then fill in the form below and then tune in onSunday to see if your list has been chosen!
Let us know the theme of the list and then tell us as many songs as you can come up with for your theme. You don't necessarily need to fill in all twelve songs - we can fill in a few blanks. Try to get at least six songs for your list, though, and we can do the rest.
Be sure to also listen to Bernard's "Blues Power" show, every Saturday night at midnight as part of The Geekend, with another chance to hear the show on Thursdays at 7pm.

Echo backs Yellow Buses Carbon Stoppers charity drive for another year
11:00am Thursday 30th January 2014 in News By Darren Slade
THE Daily Echo is giving its backing for another year to the Yellow Buses charity drive which has raised nearly £13,000.
Carbon Stoppers was launched by the bus company and the Echo in 2008 and has since helped 52 good causes.
Each week, Yellow Buses holds a Thank You Thursday when every trip taken contributes to a Community Chest.
The bus company has pledged a minimum of £50 per week to the Carbon Stoppers fund, with Daily Echo readers invited to nominate worthy recipients.
Since Carbon Stoppers was launched in 2008, £12,910 has been presented to 52 organisations.
Yellow Buses has now confirmed it is to continue backing the initiative until at least the end of 2014 with the support of the Daily Echo.
Jenni Wilkinson, Yellow Buses' head of marketing, said: "We know from the letters of appreciation we receive that Carbon Stoppers has made a real difference to many people.
"Our thanks go to our thousands of loyal customers, as well as Daily Echo readers, for helping us raise nearly £13,000.
"We're very proud that Carbon Stoppers has done so much for so many in the space of six years."
Daily Echo editor Toby Granville said the newspaper was pleased to support Carbon Stoppers for a further year.
He added: "The Daily Echo is proud and delighted to be involved in such a great initiative that raises thousands for good causes.
"I would also like to personally thank every passenger who makes a bus journey on Thursdays and helps make a real difference to those in need."
