KSP Asks Motorists to be Cautious around School Buses
Date of News Release: 08/05/2011
(Frankfort, Ky.) -- For some twenty-three million students nationwide, the school day begins and ends with a trip on a school bus. Unfortunately, each year many children are injured and even killed in school bus related crashes.
Last year, Kentucky had 985 school bus related crashes resulting in 278 injuries and four deaths. With school starting in many communities, KSP Spokesman Capt. David Jude is urging motorists to be alert for loading and unloading school buses.
"As motorists, we need to take extra caution anytime we are in the vicinity of a school bus. Stop, slow down and look for children who may be loading or unloading from the bus" says Jude.
"Many parents worry about their child's safety once they set foot on the bus, but many of the injuries happen on the road outside of the bus," adds Jude.
Jude says he thinks distracted drivers and those who speed in school zones often put children in more danger than anything else.
"Texting while driving and using a cell phone often take a drivers attention from the road," he says. "Many times inattentive drivers may not see stops signs, reduced speed limit signs or even the flashing lights of a school bus."
KSP is asking all motorists to be extra cautious as schools open this month and especially when maneuvering around school buses.
"It is a good reminder for all of us that we need to take extra precautions to get our children to school safely and law enforcement will be strictly enforcing speed zones in and around schools to ensure that happens."
Kentucky law states that if any school bus used in the transportation of children is stopped on a highway for the purpose of loading or unloading passengers, with the stop arm and signal lights activated, the operator of a vehicle approaching from any direction must stop and not proceed until the passengers have loaded/unloaded and the bus has been put in motion.
Passing a school bus while it is loading or unloading is a class B misdemeanor for the first offense and a class A misdemeanor for the second offense.
"As parents, we must reinforce proper school bus safety procedures with our children and this is the perfect time of year to talk with them," adds Jude.
KSP encourages parents to review the following schools bus safety rules.
Rules for getting on and off the school bus getting on the school bus
Getting off the school bus
Correct way to cross the street
Citizens can contribute to additional child safety by reporting drivers who disregard school bus signals to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555.

One no doubt could tally the number of draft and final resolutions that wind their way in and out of the UN General Assembly's First Committee on Disarmament and International Security every session—the current being the 59th. But there sure has been a bunch of them. And I don't envy anyone the task.
For example, while "Reaffirming the inalienable right of all States to acquire and develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes" and "Emphasizing the essential role of the United Nations in the establishment of a mutually verifiable nuclear-weapon-free zone," the General Assembly adopted a resolution last December 3 on the Establishment of a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in the Region of the Middle East (A/RES/59/63). In part, this resolution:
1. Urges all parties directly concerned to consider seriously taking the practical and urgent steps required for the implementation of the proposal to establish a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the region of the Middle East in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the General Assembly, and, as a means of promoting this objective, invites the countries concerned to adhere to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons;
2. Calls upon all countries of the region that have not done so, pending the establishment of the zone, to agree to place all their nuclear activities under International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards;
5. Invites all countries of the region, pending the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the region of the Middle East, to declare their support for establishing such a zone, consistent with paragraph 63 (d) of the Final Document of the Tenth Special Session of the General Assembly, and to deposit those declarations with the Security Council;
6. Also invites those countries, pending the establishment of the zone, not to develop, produce, test or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons or permit the stationing on their territories, or territories under their control, of nuclear weapons or nuclear explosive devices….
(Quick aside. The Americans will be more than happy to help enforce this resolution, I'm sure. At least insofar as they can apply it to Iran's nuclear program. As for the Middle East as a whole? Namely, Israel's nukes? Forget it.)
Similarly, on December 3, the General Assembly adopted a resolution titled Verification in All Its Aspects, Including the Role of the United Nations in the Field of Verification (A/RES/59/60), the purpose of which simply was to reaffirm the "criticial importance" of verification procedures in all matters related to nuclear non-proliferation, arms limitation, and disarmament. Like the Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in the Middle East resolution, the Verification resolution was adopted without a vote.
Also on December 3, the General Assembly adopted a resolution titled Prevention of an Arms Race in Outer Space (A/RES/59/65). Not only did it recognize "that prevention of an arms race in outer space would avert a grave danger for international peace and security," but it reaffirmed the "importance and urgency of preventing an arms race in outer space and the readiness of all States to contribute to that common objective," and called upon "all States, in particular those with major space capabilities, to contribute actively to the objective of the peaceful use of outer space and of the prevention of an arms race in outer space and to refrain from actions contrary to that objective and to the relevant existing treaties in the interest of maintaining international peace and security and promoting international cooperation."
However. Unlike the Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in Middle East and the Verification resolutions, the No-Arms-Race in Outer Space resolution was put to a vote: It passed 178 to 0, with 4 abstentions (i.e., Haiti, Israel, Palau, and the United States having abstained).
Still on the same day, recalling the "purpose of the United Nations to maintain international peace and security and, to that end, to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace, as enshrined in the Charter," the General Assembly adopted Promotion of Multilateralism in the Area of Disarmament and Non-Proliferation (A/RES/59/69). "Reaffirming the absolute validity of multilateral diplomacy in the field of disarmament and non-proliferation, and determined to promote multilateralism as an essential way to develop arms regulation and disarmament negotiations," this important little resolution:
3. Urges the participation of all interested States in multilateral negotiations on arms regulation, non-proliferation and disarmament in a non-discriminatory and transparent manner;
4. Underlines the importance of preserving the existing agreements on arms regulation and disarmament, which constitute an expression of the results of international cooperation and multilateral negotiations in response to the challenges facing mankind;
5. Calls once again upon all Member States to renew and fulfil their individual and collective commitments to multilateral cooperation as an important means of pursuing and achieving their common objectives in the area of disarmament and non-proliferation;
6. Requests the States parties to the relevant instruments on weapons of mass destruction to consult and cooperate among themselves in resolving their concerns with regard to cases of non-compliance as well as on implementation, in accordance with the procedures defined in those instruments, and to refrain from resorting or threatening to resort to unilateral actions or directing unverified noncompliance
accusations against one another to resolve their concerns….
The vote in the General Assembly that day last December was 125 to 9, with 49 abstentions. The 9 "Againsts" included Albania, the Federated States of Micronesia, Israel, Latvia, Marshall Islands, Palau, Poland, United Kingdom, United States. In a descending order of importance, note the three weightiest "Againsts": The United States, the United Kingdom, and Israel.
To pick up one more of the many resolutions and drafts of resolutions that the First Committee juggled last fall: A Path to the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons (A/RES/59/76).
This important and quite comprehensive resolution (among other things—I am focusing on operative Par. 3) reads as follows:
3. Stresses the central importance of the following practical steps for the systematic and progressive efforts to implement article VI of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and paragraphs 3 and 4 (c) of the decision on principles and objectives for nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament of the 1995 Review and Extension Conference of the Parties to the Treaty:
(a) The importance and urgency of signatures and ratifications, without delay and without conditions and in accordance with constitutional processes, to achieve the early entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty as well as a moratorium on nuclear-weapon-test explosions or any other nuclear explosions pending the entry into force of that Treaty;
(b) The establishment of an ad hoc committee in the Conference on Disarmament as early as possible during its 2005 session to negotiate a nondiscriminatory, multilateral and internationally and effectively verifiable treaty
banning the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices, in accordance with the report of the Special Coordinator of 1995 and the mandate contained therein, taking into consideration both nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation objectives, with a view to its conclusion within five years and, pending its entry into force, a moratorium on the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons;
(c) The establishment of an appropriate subsidiary body with a mandate to deal with nuclear disarmament in the Conference on Disarmament as early as possible during its 2005 session in the context of establishing a programme of work;
(d) The inclusion of the principle of irreversibility to apply to nuclear disarmament, nuclear and other related arms control and reduction measures;
(e) An unequivocal undertaking by the nuclear-weapon States, as agreed at the 2000 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, to accomplish the total elimination of their nuclear arsenals, leading to nuclear disarmament, to which all States parties to the Treaty are committed under article VI of the Treaty;
(f) Deep reductions by the Russian Federation and the United States of America in their strategic offensive arsenals, while placing great importance on the existing multilateral treaties, with a view to maintaining and strengthening strategic stability and international security;
(g) Steps by all the nuclear-weapon States leading to nuclear disarmament in a way that promotes international stability, and based on the principle of undiminished security for all:
(i) Further efforts by all the nuclear-weapon States to continue to reduce their nuclear arsenals unilaterally;
(ii) Increased transparency by the nuclear-weapon States with regard to their nuclear weapons capabilities and the implementation of agreements pursuant to article VI of the Treaty and as voluntary confidence-building measures to support further progress on nuclear disarmament;
(iii) The further reduction of non-strategic nuclear weapons, based on unilateral initiatives and as an integral part of the nuclear arms reduction and disarmament process;
(iv) Concrete agreed measures to reduce further the operational status of nuclear weapons systems;
(v) A diminishing role for nuclear weapons in security policies to minimize the risk that these weapons will ever be used and to facilitate the process of their total elimination;
(vi) The engagement, as soon as appropriate, of all the nuclear-weapon States in the process leading to the total elimination of their nuclear weapons;
(h) Reaffirmation that the ultimate objective of the efforts of States in the disarmament process is general and complete disarmament under effective international control….
Now. I can't do justice to the complexity of the documents, negotiations, themes and subterfuges on display in these paragraphs. But, if you'll forgive my oversimplification, the General Assembly was stressing the "central importance" of Article VI of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. (Always the core of the NPT, in fact, as it calls for the "cessation of the nuclear arms race" and "nuclear disarmament.") It also stressed the "importance and urgency" of carrying out the entry-into-force of the Comprehensive Nuclear test-Ban Treaty. (A treaty that has has been left hanging in a limbo of non-ratification for the past nine years, principally because the Americans won't accept it—the current regime in Washington least of all.) And, last but not least, it called on the UN Conference on Disarmament in Geneva to continue to negotiate a
nondiscriminatory, multilateral and internationally and effectively verifiable treaty banning the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices,…with a view to its conclusion within five years and, pending its entry into force, a moratorium on the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons….
These three objectives—the ultimate goal of the NPT being nuclear disarmament "under effective international control" (3(h)), non-proliferation a meaningless demand to make of any state unless it leads toward disarmament; the final entry-into-force of the Test-Ban Treaty; and the drafting of a new treaty banning the production of nuclear-weapons-grade material (the so-called Fissile Material Cut-Off Treaty)—are the heart of everything, along with what the resolution calls the "principle of irreversibility" (3(d)), meaning that any step towards disarmament must be understood to be an irreversible one.
Oh, yes. The December 3 vote in the General Assembly on the Path to the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons resolution also was tallied.
The final total was 165 states in favor, 3 states against, and 16 states abstaining.
The 3 states that voted "Against"? India. Palau. And the United States.
Palau's rejection of multilaterialism and nuclear disarmament we can live with. America's and India's we cannot. As last Sunday Boston Globe reported ("US Is Urged To Back 2 Nuclear Treaties," Bryan Bender, March 13):
Diplomats representing more than a dozen countries have urged the United States to embrace a set of proposed treaties to stem the spread of nuclear arms. They accuse Washington of backing away from a collective approach to arms control and helping to erode a three-decade framework for controlling nuclear weapons.
At the same time, they said, the United States appears to be undermining the effort to reduce the number of nuclear weapons by considering more advanced designs of its own, keeping thousands of warheads on alert, shielding facilities from international scrutiny, developing a national missile defense system that some worry could spark a new arms race with China or Russia, and keeping an estimated 400 tactical nuclear weapons in Europe while chiding the Russians for not destroying their battlefield nukes.
But the Bush administration opposes the Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty, a measure the Clinton administration supported when it was introduced in 1993.
The treaty would bind nuclear powers to permanently halt production of highly-enriched uranium and plutonium, the material needed for a nuclear weapon.
The United States refuses to sign the treaty, out of fear that others will violate it, a position that seems to call into question the usefulness of any such agreement.
Another international agreement with wide support — the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, first proposed by President Kennedy — was defeated by the US Senate in 1999 after it was backed by successive US presidents. The Bush administration has declined to resubmit the treaty for approval, also because it says verification would be a problem.
In the words of a report issued by the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs, the net effect of the American position "'may serve to heighten, rather than reduce the risk' of the spread of nuclear weapons to terrorists," the Globe adds.
Or any other conventional or not-so-conventional misstep by any power, anywhere, leading directly and inexorably up the ladder of escalation to a decision we dare not risk.

HEADLINE: US allies fret at hard line of 'nuclear hawks' NON-PROLIFERATION TALKS:
BYLINE: By GUY DINMORE
How far the second Bush administration can take its charm offensive in rebuilding its traditional alliances is already being put to the test by newly promoted "nuclear hawks" committed to a hardline approach on arms control and non-proliferation.
Tensions are emerging between the US and its allies over what non-nuclear nations see as a lack of sincerity by the superpower towards nuclear disarmament, even as it pushes for a tightening of the international nuclear regime and a tougher response to the ambitions of North Korea and Iran.
Senior diplomats are concerned that a review of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), a conference held every five years and due to reconvene in New York in May, will produce no outcome.
The "nuclear hawks" – or "bomb lovers" as one former official described them – include Jack Crouch, named this week as deputy national security adviser; Robert Joseph, expected to be named soon as undersecretary for arms control; and John Rood, who replaces Mr Joseph in the White House as special adviser.
The hawks – supported by Vice-President Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, the defence secretary – are known for their scepticism towards arms control agreements, their commitment to missile defence and development of new nuclear weapons, such as "bunker busters", and an appreciation of covert operations.
In his Senate confirmation hearing in 2001, Mr Crouch was questioned about his support for nuclear testing and his 1995 recommendation for attacks on North Korea's nuclear complexes should agreements fail.
Discussions over the NPT review agenda are stalled, in part because of the US refusal to reaffirm the "13 steps" adopted at the 2000 conference. Those steps included a broad commitment to undertake nuclear disarmament and not to resume testing.
"Times change. Debate moves on. The debate will be relevant to conditions that prevail today, not in 2000," Stephen Rademaker, assistant secretary of state for arms control, told a panel discussion organised by the independent Arms Control Association this week.
Roberto Abdenur, Brazil's ambassador to Washington, was visibly upset. Reflecting the sentiment of countries that have renounced development of nuclear weapons, he warned that the NPT review conference, to be chaired by Brazil, could fail. "If a nuclear power says the 13 steps belong in the past, what confidence do we non-nuclear developing states have in the NPT?" he said. "Let's be careful about this."
Failure at the review conference to produce a consensus has happened before. It would by no mean spell an end to the NPT. But diplomats say it would weaken the main pillar of non-proliferation at a critical moment.
The US administration insists the NPT remains the cornerstone of global arms control and non-proliferation efforts.
Under the bilateral 2002 Moscow Treaty, the US will reduce (but not destroy) its operationally deployed strategic nuclear warheads to between 1,700 and 2,200 – about one-third of the level in 2002 – in the next seven years. Since 1989, the US says it has cut by nearly 90 per cent the number of non-strategic nuclear weapons.
The hawks were instrumental, while George W. Bush was campaigning for office in 2000, in drawing up a review of US nuclear strategy, adopted in 2002 that foresaw an expanded role for nuclear weapons.
Washington affirms it will not resume nuclear testing, even though it refuses to become a party to the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
Despite these declarations, Joseph Cirincione, head of the non-proliferation project at the Carnegie Endowment, is among analysts and former officials concerned that the review conference is heading for a "train wreck".

Patti LuPone and Debra Winger Weigh the Fate of David Mamet's The Anarchist
By Adam Hetrick
The stars of The Anarchist talk about the work, the words and the world of David Mamet's fierce new Broadway drama set in a women's prison.
Patti LuPone has a confession: "I don't go after anything because I'm lazy." You'd never know it from her voracious work on stage, but the two-time Tony-winning Evita and Gypsy actress, a self-proclaimed "stage rat," hasn't pursued a role until now.
She's back on Broadway this season opposite three-time Oscar nominee Debra Winger, the steely-voiced actress of "Terms of Endearment" and "An Officer and a Gentleman," in the new two-woman David Mamet drama The Anarchist, which the playwright is also directing.
"It's been 15 years since I did one of David's plays, it was The Old Neighborhood, and that was too long for me [to wait]," says LuPone, who has known Mamet since the two met on a bus while touring the country with The Acting Company in 1976. "I learn so much from David when I'm in the room with him and I missed that," she says. "I miss being directed by him, listening to him talk about acting, and listening to him talk about life."
So, what's a girl to do? Just ask. Following the Broadway opening of Mamet's Race in 2009, LuPone sent her old pal an e-mail asking for a play. He replied with The Anarchist. Then it almost didn't happen — a 2011 London production was announced without LuPone. "I said to David, 'Let me play it in New York.'" Mamet replied, as LuPone recalls, in his quintessential manner, "F*** London, let's do it here now."
The actress had one more request — Mamet had to direct. "I told him, 'You have to, because I know my best work is when you direct me,'" LuPone says. The playwright obliged.
However, one key piece of the puzzle was still missing — LuPone's co-star. Another actress was originally announced, but the plan didn't come to fruition. It was then that Winger, a no-nonsense straight-talker who held her own among Hollywood boys' club and lived to tell, was announced as LuPone's co-star.
The 70-minute drama is set in a female penitentiary where a "lifer," played by LuPone, is pleading her case for parole to Winger's character, a composite figure representing the state who must determine the fate of the anarchist.
While the play is a reunion for LuPone and Mamet, it is also a return to one of Winger's passions. Before Hollywood beckoned, the actress was sociology major in college who studied criminal rehabilitation and counseling. "For some reason I was drawn to it, and here I am, as life happens, investigating it again in The Anarchist," she says.
The play, according to Winger, takes a head-on look at "The whole question of rehabilitation. What does that mean and what do we believe in as a nation?"
"You'll recognize certain aspects of my character if you know the politics of the revolution," LuPone says, quietly referring to Judith Clark, who was part of the Weather Underground Organization and remains in prison for her involvement in the 1981 armed robbery of a Brinks security truck, which resulted in the death of two police officers and one of the drivers.
Winger points out, "In New York State no one goes in front of a parole board. And most citizens, voting citizens do not know that. As soon as I found out that existed in the world, let alone New York State, I was in. I thought, 'I've got to talk about that and I've got to say these words on stage.'"
LuPone was compelled, she says, because, "These are cerebral arguments and they're legitimate arguments facing people in prison today. I don't think the performance will ever be incendiary because it might diffuse the argument. The fireworks are in the language. Come in, and sit down, and listen. Let the play do the work, and let the play work on you."
"Where else do we have left for polemics in the world?" Winger asks. "The news is all canned. There's no real information being discussed. David is almost polemical in that way. He will bring both sides of an argument so that we can all reach the bigger question. And that's what I'm looking to do. Is to balance Patti's argument, so that everyone can walk out of the theatre, not with an opinion, but with a bigger question."

Fresh Apricot Season
Fresh apricots seem to be the forgotten fruit. Don't see many recipes calling for them. Could it be a matter of availability? Maybe that they're more complicated to stash in the freezer? The ones in my local grocery stores are pricey... $3 a pound, usually. But I found baskets of them at the farmer's market containing 3+ pounds for only $3 a basket. Bought two to make two batches of jam and had some left over. Searching around the net, I couldn't find anything interesting, so I got inventive.
I chopped some up and simmered them in simple syrup for about a half hour. Strained, it makes a fantastic flavored syrup for iced tea. Would be good on pancakes and waffles, too, if I'd made enough of it.
Still had a few left, so I decided to make my favorite peach cobbler using the apricots instead. OMGosh... It's better than the peach version! This is an old-timey recipe that you might already have in your arsenal. If not and you're interested, here it is:
Peach Treat
2 c. sliced peaches
1 c. sugar
1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
3/4 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
Pinch of salt
3/4 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°. Put butter in a deep casserole dish and set it in the preheating oven to melt.
Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and extracts into a batter. Pour batter into the melted butter; do not stir. Place the peaches into the center of the dish, avoiding placing any too close to the edge. Batter will rise around the fruit and to the top during baking, surrounding the peaches with crust.
Bake for 1 hour or until crust is golden brown.
Apricot Treat
Substitute peaches with 2 cups of sliced ripe fresh apricots that have been tossed with about 1/4 - 1/3 cup of sugar (or sugar to taste); let sit for about 15 minutes, until the sugar melts and the apricots release some juice. Proceed as above.This message has been edited. Last edited by: nettiejay,
Thanks for sharing your recipe. I have never made a cobbler before because I prefer pies. I love the ease of not having to peel apricots. Peach pies are our favorite but it's a lot more work because you have to remove the skin.
Is it about 20 cots to get 2 cups?This message has been edited. Last edited by: CA Lori,
I bought THREE fresh apricots for DH. I have to slap my hands every time I walk by them. If he lets them ruin.........
Does this hat make my butt look big?
I adore apricots but they don't grow here -- I do buy them in the store and they are pricey -- but there is nothing like a really ripe apricot (sigh)! I envy you who can get them at Farmer's markets!
BTW, I do make an apricot liqueur every year -- but I use the dried ones (and the bonus is that dried -- you can dip in chocolate and give as Christmas gifts -- little boozy chocolate apricots!)
View my blog:
I didn't count, but it would depend on their size. I think I used perhaps 12, maybe 14. It doesn't have to be precise.
I adore apricots--you are very lucky to have them at the farmer's market, they are quite expensive here at the grocery store.
Apricots are one of my favorite fruits. I like them in any kind of pie, crisp, or cobbler. I also like then grilled, or just cooked a bit in a pan with a little sugar and then eaten with vanilla ice cream. In my opinion they are much better cooked than raw.
nettiejay, I'm making your Peach Treat cobbler (it's in the oven right now).
I have a question about your apricot comment:
Just wanted clarification about the cup of sugar called for in the original Peach Treat recipe. I'm assuming that you still add that 1 cup in addition to the 1/4 c that gets mixed in with the 'cots, right?This message has been edited. Last edited by: CA Lori,
Sorry for the confusion.
The 1 cup of sugar listed in the ingredients for the peach variation goes into the batter. When I'm using peaches, my preference is not to add additional sugar to the fruit. Peaches are almost always sweet enough, and adding more sugar to them makes the cobbler too sweet for my family's taste.
But apricots are generally more tart than peaches, and it's my preference to lightly sweeten them before adding them to the baking dish.
Now, if your peaches are not as sweet as you'd like, or if you like sweeter baked goods in general, by all means coat them with some sugar to taste before adding them to the baking dish.
How'd it turn out? Hope you liked it as much as we do.
OMG, nettiejay. It's simply delicious!!!!!!!! I will definitely make it again. I love the way the crust crisped up around the outer edges of the topping.
I used my 3-qt. Corning dutch oven, which measures about 7 inches square and 4 inches high (way higher than was needed). I had a lot of home grown peaches from my friend's tree, so I filled the 2-cup Pyrex measurer completely to the top of the cup. So I maybe had about 2 1/4 c peaches.
I could probably get 9 good-sized square servings or 12 small squares. If I were to make it for company, I think I'd whip up some whipping cream and top each slice with a dollop.
BTW, I did include the 1/2 ts. almond extract. Thanks again for sharing!
Do you refrigerate this cobbler? I'm leaving it on my counter tonight, like I always do with a Peach Pie (something happens to the pie crust after it's been in the fridge). If there's any left after the second day, then I refrigerate it.This message has been edited. Last edited by: CA Lori,
I do the same as you... Refrigerate if there's any left on the third day. But around here, there never is.
That caramel-ly crust near the edges... I KNOW... right?!?
I like it with good vanilla ice cream. If it has cooled off before I want to serve it, I warm it slightly in the microwave before scooping the ice cream alongside. Oh my.
I also sometimes just pour a little unwhipped heavy cream on top.
I've seen this recipe all over the net, but in fact it predates the internet by decades. I found it in a cookbook copyrighted in 1968, and I think it's probably much older than that. In my recipe, it's called "treat", not "cobbler" like many others. IMO, it really isn't like cobbler, which I consider more biscuit-like than this.
The main thing I like about this recipe is that, since I freeze local peaches for use all year, I have the ingredients in the house at all times. I love "pantry" recipes like that.
It is well named, Treat rather than Cobbler! Yum.
nettiejay, how do you process your peaches for freezing? I have too many left so I should do that, but do I need to go shopping for pectin or something? I froze a batch of apricots two years ago and they turned dark. Had to throw them out.
I guess I should peel and slice the peaches before freezing. Hmmm, I'd better go do a google search. I love it when I come across how-to videos!This message has been edited. Last edited by: CA Lori,
I peel the peaches by dipping them into boiling water for 1 minute, removing them and plunging them into a bowl of ice and water. (I read somewhere that it works as well to just put the whole peaches into the freezer for about an hour to loosen the skins, but I never tried that.) Once peeled, I remove the pit and slice them. To keep them from browning, I have good luck using a mixture of Fruit Fresh (or other brand of) ascorbic acid and sugar. Check the label directions for mixing the sugar and fruit preserver. I can't remember the ratio off the top of my head right now.
I measure 4 cups of peach slices, adding about half of them to a 1-quart zippered freezer bag, then sprinkling with 2 tbs. of the sugar/preserver mix; repeat with another 2 cups of fruit and 2 tbs. of sugar mixture. I think it helps distribute the preserver better by filling the bag in two stages this way. Zip them shut, excluding as much air as possible. Lay them on a cookie sheet to keep the bags flatter as they freeze; once frozen, stack them how they'll fit best in the freezer.
Fruit Fresh would have helped your apricots keep their color during freezing, too... Although, I think I would make a Fruit Fresh and sugar syrup - instead of dry sugar - for those.

The state is bringing back water resource councils to our area.
The Water Planning Council held its first meeting in more than a year to discuss the Governor's water supply program and the Flint River Drought Protection Act.
The Director of the Environmental Protection Division spoke to the council in Albany Friday about revisions to that law and research studying water issues in South Georgia.
"He's not going to go in there and whole sale without first doing the proper research to conduct the studies properly," said Richard Royal, Lower Flint and Ochlocknee Council.
That law would institute new irrigation efficiency requirements would include the ASR project that will pump water from one aquifer to another.

The hex that Chivas USA has over the New England Revolution continues. Chivas gets their first home win since last October and their first winning streak of the season as they dominated the Revolution 3-0. Goals came early and often for the Red-and-White as Nick LaBrocca, Alejandro Moreno and Marcos Mondaini all found the back of the net in this one.
LaBrocca got things started early in the 22nd minute after he headed home a nice cross from Ben Zamenski. Mondaini got the play started as he handed off a short ball to Zamenski who sent in perfect cross that split two defenders to find LaBrocca.
Just before halftime, Chivas was at it yet again, this time with Mondaini. Moreno sent in a cross that found Mondaini, who did an acrobatic kick to hammer home the goal. It was easily one of the best goals I've ever seen a Chivas USA player score and possibly the goal of the week.
In the second half things began to settle down as the Revolution made a couple changes in hopes to put more pressure on the Chivas back four. But it was their own defenders who yet again caused Chivas to score again. Shalrie Joseph sent an ill-advised pass back in his own penalty box to Dieder Domi, who's first touch absolutely failed him as Moreno put pressure on him. After the bad first touch Moreno gobbled up the ball and set it past Bobby Shuttleworth.
Chivas looked hungry throughout this one and didn't even let up with the three-goal lead. With the win the Goats move up the standings a bit with nine points, while the Revolution head back east to try and figure out what exactly went wrong in this one for them tonight.

JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) - Northeast Arkansans for Animals (NAFA) is hosting a low-cost microchip clinic to protect pets from a growing 'pet-flipping' trend, according to local animal activists.
Pet-flipping occurs when a pet is stolen from its owner, or a lost animal is falsely claimed then sold for profit.
NAFA Executive Director Wannda Turner says each week five to 10 pets are reported lost and only one or two of the animals are ever returned to their owners.
"The Internet has made it really easy, and sadly enough, very dangerous for the animals for people to steal, pick up or even get for free animals, and then turn around and either sell them to individuals for whatever reason. We have investigated sales of kittens for snake food, puppies for dog bite bait," Turner said.
The clinic will be held Saturday, Aug. 17, at Jonesboro Animal Control on Highland from 7:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m.
An ID number from the implanted microchip is registered in a database. Jonesboro Police Department Animal Control Sgt. Larry Rogers says the internal tracker provides quick answers about lost or stolen pets when unidentified animals with a chip are scanned.
"Pets used to be tattooed or marked with a notch or something in their ear. Now with microchipping, it's surgically implanted. It's the size of a rice chip between the shoulder blades," he said. "If there's a dispute between you and someone else about this dog belonging to you, then if it's chipped (the animal control officer will) bring the microscanner. We'll scan it, then we'll see."
Turner says the procedure is minimally painful. "(The procedure) does not hurt. I've actually stuck myself to see."
The $20 will cover a microchip any furry family member.
"We've microchipped cats. We've microchipped guinea pigs, anything that you're worried about either losing or somebody taking," Turner said.
Dr. Jack Jones will provide pets with the microchip implants and $10 rabies shots.
Jonesboro Animal Control will host Safer Community Fun Saturday from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at the animal control facility.
The event is free and features several free activities and giveaways for children and pets:

Hulk Hogan Q&A: Steve Austin only a bigger legend than me 'in his own mind'Marcus Vanderberg at The Turnstile13 days ago
Ready to feel old for a minute?
Hulk Hogan turned 61 this week.
Yes, the same Hulk Hogan with the 24-inch pythons who made saying your prayers and taking vitamins cool during the '80s and '90s is back with World Wrestling Entertainment and showing no signs of slowing down.
Hogan isn't currently competing in the squared circle (though keep reading for the opponent he has in mind for one last match) but instead playing the role of an ambassador for the company that made him an international icon and the face of professional wrestling.
Prior to his SummerSlam Confidential panel on Friday night in Los Angeles, Hogan chatted with Yahoo Sports about his emotional birthday tribute on Monday Night Raw, whether he's a bigger legend than Steve Austin and how he managed to get the hookup on Air Jordans.
YS: How close were you to coming to tears during Monday's birthday tribute video during Monday Night Raw?
Robin Williams movie references make up a sportscaster's entire segmentJay Busbee at The Turnstile15 days ago
We all deal with tragedy in our own way, and Zach Klein, sports director for WSB-TV in Atlanta, decided to honor the late Robin Williams by working in references to 22 of his movies in that night's sportscast. Some flow better than others, but they're all right there, from "Mork & Mindy" to "Hook" to "One Hour Photo," if you listen closely enough.
"Honestly, I just wanted to do something to show my appreciating for the greatness that was Robin Williams," Klein later said. "It was a hard day for so many and I thought a subtle tribute to a man many loved and admired was the least I could do."

Daniel Colman won the astonishing pot after taking the decisive hand from poker legend Daniel Negreanu. And his reaction could best be described as "funereal." Come on, Dan, you look like somebody stole your dog:
Negreanu had been cruising in the tournament, knocking off challenger after challenger, but the 23-year-old Colman proved to be too much to handle. Colman's media silence, both on the broadcast and throughout the tournament, subjected him to some criticism. The Las Vegas Sun's story about the night was even headlined "Reserved star or rich scrub?"
ESPN suspends Dan Le Batard two days for LeBron billboard 'stunt'Jay Busbee at The Turnstile21 days ago
Everywhere LeBron James goes, he leaves a trail of tears and frustration in his wake. Sometimes, his scorned fans burn jerseys. And sometimes, they take out advertisements that get people suspended.
Dan Le Batard, a Miami-based columnist and ESPN sports talk-radio host, has been suspended two days for what ESPN termed a "stunt" involving a billboard seeking to get under the skin of James and his Ohio-based fans.
First he aired the possibility of buyingan advertisement in two Ohio papers:
I would pay for this.... pic.twitter.com/bnHCguU3G4
When that failed, Le Batard got physical ... as in, a physical billboard in Akron:
Billboard in Akron tonight with message to @KingJames from Miami pic.twitter.com/myhqDg4FKO
... and boom, that was enough to get Le Batard a two-day suspension from the mothership.
Poker player out $1 million on worst tournament beat everJay Busbee at The Turnstile29 days ago
If someone gave you a 99 percent chance of winning anything , you'd take that bet, right? If you got dealt pocket aces, you'd feel like you owned the table, right? And if you somehow lost, you'd conclude that life has no meaning and all is darkness, right? Strap in for this one, folks.
What we have here is the World Series of Poker's Big One for One Drop, a head-to-head showdown that features a $1 million buy-in. (For non-poker types, that means you have to pay $1 million just to play.) The winner gets almost $16 million, which is not a bad payday for playin' cards.
Connor Drinan and Cary Katz were playing their heads-up game when both got dealt pocket aces. This is the best possible hand with which to begin in Texas Hold 'Em poker, and naturally each guy thought he had the other by the diamonds. They raised and re-raised, and once the flop came, Katz realized he might have something here.
"Save your money, kid," Katz had warned Drinan before the flop. "You can't win every pot."
Mini-Astrodome? Houston floats ideas as state considers historical statusJay Busbee at The Turnstile29 days ago
The Houston Astrodome, once dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World, has sat vacant for years, a victim of changing times and a lust for skyboxes. Like many other 60s-era municipal stadiums, the Astrodome is a venue without a purpose, and also like those other stadiums, its days could end in nostalgia-shattering demolition. Voters last November shot down a proposal to convert the Astrodome to a convention center, leaving no clear future for the facility.
There are moves afoot to preserve the Astrodome's legacy, however, The Texas Historical Commission is currently discussing whether to designate the forlorn, empty dome a "state antiquities landmark." Doing so would make demolition of the facility much more difficult, but would not answer the question of what exactly to do with the structure.Thu, Aug 28San Francisco40 - 13HoustonGame Recap
Monster ping-pong rally will blow your mind, or at least make you smileJay Busbee at The Turnstile1 mth ago
If you're like us, ping-pong was something you played in a buddy's house after school, and it took about five points for the game to devolve into firing-squad target practice, where the goal was to hit your opponent, not the table.
But this is the Commonwealth Games, and these two table tennis competitors could hit the ball, the table, their opponent, and probably even a postage stamp from the other side of the arena. Behold the most ridiculously precise and athletic 40 seconds you're likely to see all day.
In the Games, currently taking place in Glasgow, Nigeria's Segun Toriola (in the green) waited out Singapore's Ning Gao in the 41-shot rally. Gao threw everything he could at Toriola, from hammer-slams to drop shots, and Toriola hung in there. And Gao didn't throw his paddle at Toriola, which is probably what we would have done.
Unfortunately for Toriola, Gao would go on to win the match. But at least Toriola's rally will live forever on YouTube.
Toughest jobs in sports: Professional gamblerJeff Eisenberg at The Turnstile1 mth ago
This is the eighth of eight entries in a Yahoo Sports series on the toughest jobs in sports. Click here to check out previous stories and a schedule for what's to come.
Like architects who built houses out of Legos, fashion designers who made clothes for their dolls or pastry chefs who cooked in easy bake ovens, Dave Cokin also began preparing for his future career as a kid.
The only difference is Cokin's chosen profession is a little less traditional.
Cokin, a longtime professional sports handicapper, placed his first bets at minor-league hockey games as a 6-year-old growing up in Providence, R.I. Since many of his family members enjoyed gambling, they would allow him to wager a few dollars on the Rhode Island Reds with a local bookie every time they attended a game.
Queen Elizabeth royally photobombs field hockey playerJay Busbee at The Turnstile1 mth ago
Jayde Taylor is a member of the Australian field hockey team that's traveled to England to participate in the latest Commonwealth Games. She took plenty of photos, as the young folk do these days, and hey presto, look who showed up in the background of one:
Ahhh The Queen photo-bombed our selfie!! 😄 👑 #royalty #sheevensmiled #amazing #Glasgow2014 @Hockeyroos @AusComGames pic.twitter.com/ZMtHYFUqHk
Yep, that's Queen Elizabeth her royal self, photobombing the unwitting hockey players. Her Majesty was in attendance as Australia defeated Malaysia 4-0.
Tour de France cyclist confronts heckler along route; heckler backs downJay Busbee at The Turnstile1 mth ago
Your browser does not support iframes.
It's been a rough week for hecklers at sporting events. (Aww, poor babies.) At the British Open on Sunday, Rory McIlroygot a mouthy gallery member booted with just three holes to go. And at the Tour de France, Thomas Voeckler of France decided he'd had quite enough of one sideline tough guy and actually stopped his bike to let him have it.
"Have you ever ridden a bike before?" Voeckler barked. The heckler, as hecklers generally do, backed down in a hurry, saying "sorry, sorry" over and over again. Satisfied, Voeckler went on his way.
Voeckler is currently 52nd in the Tour, one hour and 41 minutes behind the leaders. But we wouldn't make fun of him for that if we were you.

A member of Oakman's junior varsity squad, Martin earned the opportunity to step on the field with the varsity in the second half of the contest when the Wildcats were firmly in control of the game — and did not disappoint teammates, coaches or anyone in attendance at Hosea Collins Stadium.
Martin led the defense with five tackles and was constantly in place to make plays against the Bobcats' offense. Also contributing on offense, he scored the final touchdown of the game on a 10-yard run to seal the 69-6 final.
The tenacity and drive that Martin shows on the field, however, is nothing new — it's the same never-quit attitude that has been on display since he waged battle seven years ago in another fight — the fight for his life.
In 2007 Martin was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma — a cancer that starts in cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the body's immune system.
It was news that left the then-second grader, already a competitor in several athletic sports, realizing he had a much more different and important challenge on his hands...one he knew he had to win.
"The worries were there. You don't get news like that and simply shrug it completely off," Martin said. "I was playing baseball at the time and in my mind, I had to beat it and get back out there to my team — I wasn't going to let it beat me."
Martin's mother, Misty, said that his focus during the therapy was to get back onto the playing field, using his deep love for athletics and competition as a driving force to become cancer-free.
"Throughout his therapy, all he wanted to do was get done with the day's treatment so he could play baseball," Misty said.
"We would leave the clinic where he was having chemotherapy and immediately drive to baseball practice. That was his mind set — 'I've got to go to practice.' That focus is what I believe helped him overcome his challenge. We also received such wonderful support from coaches, other parents and everyone around us. God really blessed us throughout the entire time."
Oakman quarterback Jase Trotter, a longtime friend of Martin's, recalled the fighting spirit the young boy had throughout the therapy period.
Trotter said that Martin's example has served as an inspiration for him and several other Wildcat players.
"Garrett was on my dad's baseball team when he was going through his battle with cancer — so I was able to see what he was enduring, and I have watched him grow up," Trotter said. He would come over to my house sometimes after baseball practice and I would have the chance to talk to him about what he was overcoming. It was really awesome to see him fight through it and I look at him today, cancer free and performing great at the varsity football game. It's very inspirational to me to see him in the weightroom and working hard — it makes me want to work as hard as he does."
Now cancer-free for over six years, Martin continues to use the same determination and will power to get better on the gridiron. For Martin, football is an outlet to further his drive to win.
"Football has really helped me through school — it makes me want to get good grades so I can play the best I am capable of for my team," Martin said. "I like to get out on the field and show that I can contribute to my team — it's always been my goal to show I can put my team before any personal glory and to help them win championships."
The impression that Martin leaves on the Oakman football program hasn't been lost on the coaching staff, either.
Head coach Mark Hastings stated that Martin's attitude and drive, as well as his constant goals of improving his gameplay make him a valuable asset to the team.
"I believe Garrett has scored in every junior varsity game he's played in this season — then he followed that up by taking to the field last Friday night and scoring a touchdown in the varsity game," Hastings said.
"When you have a young player like him that brings a physical, as well as an inspirational, component to a team, the value of it just can't be measured. We're proud to have a young man of his character with us."

Obama - ahead of Clinton Machine AND the mighty Blogosphere
by Robbedvoter, Tue Jan 08, 2008 at 09:03:10 AM EST
Mydd had an article where it explained the Obama movement
http://mydd.com/story/2008/1/5/223227/67 68
"A careful observer of the Obama and Clinton campaigns' youth turnout efforts could have seen the results coming. Hillary's team were told to invite young people over for a night of watching TV shows like Gray's Anatomy or The Office, and use that opportunity to engage them in a conversation on the issues. Obama's team went about finding its cadre of supporters by using their website, built off of the FaceBook operating system or platform, in tune with Millennial's social networking habits. Once they found potential supporters, Obama's team didn't ask them to watch television, something Millennials do infrequently, unless it's on their laptop with shows downloaded from the Net, but to hang out at the local bar. There Michelle Obama, or "the closer" as her husband calls her, asked them to come out on caucus night and change America's politics forever." end quote
To which I add - Obama got these new voters while Edwards who was the last one in internet activity in 2004, merely cultivated his old "netroots" (from Kerry campaign and a few other old venues - by pumping advertising money Kos, Democratic Underground et al and surrogate posts and mostly - trying to craft for himself a persona to fit those blogs and forums demands (way different than the 2004 candidate).
But this is 2008 - and new people vote today, people who don't give a damn about Kos, DU, but somehow discovered Obama and were inspired by him and brought into the political process.
Sorry, "netroots" - the word itself is antiquated already...

Sequoia HCD subsidy of Sequoia Hospital
Original post made by Jack Hickey on Nov 2, 2012
Yet, in their 4 page, full color, 11" x 17 campaign mailing passed off as a "Report to the Community", they list only $600,000 in subsidies for 2012. You need a magnifying glass to read it!
on Jan 7, 2013 at 4:57 pm
Director Art Faro, is Chair of the Sequoia Hospital Board of Directors. Katie Kane is a Member of that Board. I have suggested that their votes as Members of the Sequoia Healthcare District Board of Directors on Grants to the Sequoia Hospital Foundation constituted a conflict of interest. They have yet to recuse themselves from such votes.
on Jan 15, 2013 at 3:09 pm
There remain three items which link Sequoia Hospital with the Sequoia Healthcare District:
1. the EBIDA profit sharing arrangement whereby the District is essentially a shareholder in the hospital. That constitutes a financial instrument which can be sold, just as a share of stock.
2. the inclusion of two District Directors on the Sequoia Hospital Board of Directors. I have addressed this apparent conflict of interest in my prior post.
3. the Nurses Education Program which is discussed in another topic. Web Link and will be on the Sequoia Healthcare District's agenda at their Feb. 6, 2013 boardmeeting.
Following is an e-mail I sent on 12/31/2012 to Glenna Vaskelis, President of Sequoia Hospital regarding their Board of Directors:
"Glenna, while viewing your website, I found your Community Benefit Report very informative. Web Link
Of particular interest, was the message from you and Art Faro, Board Chair, Sequoia Hospital Board of Directors. I then searched your website for mention and listing of your Board of Directors. I'm sure it must be there, but I could not find it.
Perhaps you can provide me with a link to that information.
Jack Hickey, Elected Director, Sequoia Healthcare District"
I am awaiting a response.
on Jan 18, 2013 at 8:41 am
Here is the response from Glenna Vaskelis:
"We do not list our Board members on our website. Unlike the District, we are not a public entity, as you know."

---- — With a summer-camp rivalry at its center, a middle school show this weekend seems perfect for its age group.
Doherty Middle School is set to perform Disney's Camp Rock. It's a classic story of rivalry and power from the show's opening scene.
"This high-energy musical will be directed and performed by a large ensemble cast - over 60 students across all three grades," said Doherty Middle's Samantha LaDuc. "We are looking very forward to the show."
There will be singing and dancing as part of the Doherty Middle School Drama Club's spring show. Camp Rock will be performed by the Doherty Middle students on Friday, April 5 and Saturday, April 6, 7 p.m.; and on Sunday, April 7 at 1 p.m.
In the musical, Mitchie and her friends arrive at Camp Rock, ready to spend another summer jamming out and having the time of their lives. But the new, flashy Camp Star across the lake now threatens Camp Rock's very existence. To keep the doors open, Mitchie steps up, rallies her fellow Camp Rockers, and gets them into top shape for the ultimate showdown.
Tickets for the Doherty Middle production in Memorial Auditorium, which is used as the school's auditorium, cost $10 and are available at the door or at Learning Express.

New Jersey may soon be dishing out more severe penalties to child-pornography offenders, when State Senator Kevin O'Toole (R-Bergen, Essex, Morris, Passaic) introduces a bill to the State Senate.
O'Toole is introducing the "No Early Release Act," after reading a recent Star-Ledger exposé "depicting a rapid proliferation of child pornography," he said.
According to the report, the FBI reviewed 14.2 million images depicting child-sex acts in 2010. In 2011, the same department, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, reviewed more than 22 million images and videos, showing an increase of 55 percent.
"Many factors often cause this sick and incomprehensible behavior that is so difficult to read about, let alone experience," O'Toole said. "A big part of protecting children and families is making sure offenders face and pay the ultimate price and do not repeat such heinous acts."
The "No Early Release Act" would require a convict to serve at least 85 percent of his or her sentence to be eligible for release. The bill will also upgrade the state's child pornography laws, making it a first-degree crime "for anyone to cause or permit a child to engage in child pornography, or to photograph or film a child under those circumstances."
"As a parent and public servant charged with protecting children and families, I am utterly repulsed by the expanding lengths predators will go to get their fixes by destroying vulnerable lives," said O'Toole.
"Our communities must be protected from the disgusting impulses of the most disturbing criminals, and that starts with the elimination of early release for those convicted of producing, sharing, storing and enabling the destruction of childhood innocence," he said.

Textile repair event has a swish time
10:44am Sunday 23rd March 2014 in News
1214552901 Paul Jackson 22.03.14 Worcester From left - Roisin Hanks and Gill Kincaid. Textile repair at Pump House Environment Centre. (4799520)
MISSING buttons were replaced and creative skills passed on at a textile repair and swishing event.
Visitors to the Pump House Environment Centre in Gheluvelt Park, Worcester, learnt how to repair their clothes and took the opportunity to swap some of their unwanted clothing for some new items from 11am to 2pm on Saturday.
The event, organised by the Duckworth Worcestershire Trust and Transition Worcester, aims to promote reducing, re-using and recycling and there are plans for it to take on elements of a social club so people can share useful skills and tips.
Machinists, hand-sewers and crocheters were all on hand to made do and mend.
Tony Kennell, chairman of Transition Worcester, said it was only their second event but was looking forward to seeing it develop.
"We will be doing one every month. There's the beginnings of a club with sewing, crocheting and people with like minded interests coming together.
"This is just the start and things will happen. We are always looking transferable skills."
Roisin Hanks, project manager of the Duckworth Worcestershire Trust, said: "It is growing - we have certainly had more people today. Hopefully word will get out and more people will come along to the next event."
To volunteer your skills for the future events, call 01905 730601.
For more information and future dates, go to dwt.org.uk or transitionworcester.org.uk.
