The UFC Lightweight title was up for grabs last night (Dec. 8, 2012) as champion Ben Henderson looked to defend his strap against hungry challenger Nate Diaz in the main event of UFC on Fox 5 in Seattle, Washington.
Henderson was hoping to put a pair of close and controversial victories over Frankie Edgar behind him. Many felt that you aren't truly the champion unless you can not only defend your title but put on a champion caliber performance.
Well consider those questions answered.
In one of the most dominant showings of his six year professional fighting career, Henderson had his way with Diaz in every imaginable facet of the fight.
So how did the champion do to Diaz what no one else had even come close to accomplishing since the young Stockton slugger had dropped back down to lightweight? And where do both talented individuals go from here?
Henderson made an immediate statement as the fight began, firing away with a pair of low leg kicks which already forced Diaz to be reactive instead of on the constant offense. After some work in the clinch where both men landed some strikes, Henderson took over with repeated takedowns, occasional thundering ground and pound and more leg kicks which continuously knocked Diaz off balance.
Believe it or not, this was the closest round of the contest.
From this point on, Henderson continued to attack Diaz's lead leg, opening rounds two, three and four with heavy leg kicks as his first strike thrown. He repeatedly put The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season five winner on the defensive whether it was in the clinch, on the ground or surprisingly on the feet. With Diaz concerned about leg kicks, Henderson was able to mix up his attack and throw heavy kicks to the body and even occasionally the head. Even more impressively, "Smooth" was able to step inside and land powerful punches, even dropping Diaz with a right hand.
Every time Henderson put Diaz on the canvas, a torrent of Donkey Kong-esque ground and pound ensued. Diaz was constantly forced to give up his back to escape the position and was getting punched every time he tried to do anything. Diaz's only real moments of offense in the final four rounds were a series of leg locks he attempted, although nothing was successfully sunk in and Henderson surprisingly even did the split to escape the final lock.
When it was all said and done, Henderson was awarded every round on all three judges' scorecards and even took a 50-43 card just for good measure, easily winning a unanimous decision to remain UFC Lightweight Champion.
For Nate Diaz, his inability to control distance and lack of diversity in his attack was an absolute killer. Henderson knew exactly what he was going to do and had a counter for the attack. Diaz could not get any sustainable offense going at any point because he would eat a big leg kick or be forced to fend off a clinch or takedown attempt. Even when he successfully scored a throw in the clinch, he'd find himself in bottom position within seconds. This was simply a case of never being allowed to get comfortable in the cage. He did a great job of working back to his feet and not getting stuck on the ground for extended periods of time, but even then he was forced to play defense instead of getting that volume striking going.
Potential next opponents for Diaz include the upcoming loser of Matt Wiman vs. T.J. Grant, perhaps Anthony Pettis or Joe Lauzon should they lose their next bouts or maybe he'll be Eddie Alvarez's first opponent should the former Bellator champion sign with the UFC in the near future.
For Benson Henderson, this was one of the most complete performance of his entire career. On the feet, he exploited the Diaz weakness to leg kicks very well, knocking the Cesar Gracie fighter down, keeping him guessing and even forcing him to change stances to avoid further damage. This opened up lunging hooks, body and head kicks and even straight punches to the leg which all connected because Diaz was concerned about a heavy blow to the lower leg. His striking on the ground was also solid, constantly forcing Diaz to defend heavy blows instead of work for submissions and sweeps off his back.
Henderson never gave Diaz an opportunity to assess the situation and get his offense in. It was simply attack, attack, attack, which is usually what Nate Diaz is famous for doing. For the champ, the best defense truly was a good offense as his opponent was constantly forced to play reactionary. Diaz couldn't over extend on his punches for fear of the takedown and he couldn't sit back and try to land strikes at a distance because Henderson was out-ranging him with those heavy kicks to the calf which repeatedly knocked him off balance. He didn't even let Diaz taunt him until the final 30 seconds of the fight and by then, the outcome was no longer in doubt.
The improvement in Henderson's striking may have been the most interesting part of his performance because that part of his game was probably his biggest liability heading into this fight and he outstruck Diaz nearly 10-1 last night.
The most likely next opponent for Henderson would be a big money rematch against Anthony Pettis should "Showtime" defeat Donald Cerrone in January. Another potential foe would be Strikeforce Lightweight Champion and Nate Diaz's teammate Gilbert Melendez. While unlikely, Donald Cerrone could also be up for a trilogy fight if he defeats Pettis convincingly as well.
So what did you think, Maniacs?
Did Ben Henderson finally make you a believer last night? Were you surprised at any of the particular offense he was able to put forth? Who has what it takes to dethrone the "Smooth" one?
Sound off!

Star Trek Generations (Paramount Pictures, 1994) is the seventh feature film based on the popular Star Trek science fiction television series. It is often referred to as just Generations. It is the first film in the series to star the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and is a symbolic passing of the torch of the film series from the original series cast to the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast.
- Directed by David Carson. Written by Rick Berman, Ronald D. Moore, and Brannon Braga.
Jean-Luc PicardEdit
- Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives, but I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived. After all, Number One, we're only mortal.
- I've become aware that there are fewer days ahead than there are behind. I took some comfort from the fact that the family would go on, but now there'll be no more Picards.
Dr. Tolian SoranEdit
- Now, you'll have to excuse me, Captain. I have an appointment with eternity, and I don't want to be late.
- You know, there was a time when I wouldn't hurt a fly. Then the Borg came, and they showed me that if there is one constant in this whole universe, it's death. Afterwards, I began to realize that it didn't really matter. We're all going to die sometime. It's just a question of how and when. You will, too, Captain. Aren't you beginning to feel time gaining on you? It's like a predator. It's stalking you. Oh, you can try and outrun it with doctors, medicines, new technologies, but in the end, time is going to hunt you down and make the kill.
- They say time is the fire in which we burn. Right now, Captain, my time is running out. We leave so many things unfinished in our lives... I know you understand.
- Allusion to "Calmly We Walk Through This April's Day" in In Dreams Begin Responsibilities, (1938) by Delmore Schwartz
- "Time is the school in which we learn, Time is the fire in which we burn."
- [As the saucer-section crash-lands] Ohh... shit!
James T. KirkEdit
- Who am I to argue with the Captain of the Enterprise?
- [While walking through his home]
- [Clock chimes]
The clock. I gave this clock to Bones.
- [Dog barks]
Butler! Butler, how can you be here. He's been dead 7 years.
- [Antonia calls from upstairs]
- What you talking about the future? This is the past.
- [Kirk and Picard have defeated Soran, but Kirk is mortally wounded from the battle]
- James T. Kirk: Did we make a difference?
- Jean-Luc Picard: Oh, yes. We made a difference. Thank you.
- James T. Kirk: Least I could do...for the captain of the Enterprise. It was... fun. Oh, my... [Kirk dies]
- Tolian Soran: Have you ever considered a prosthesis that would make you look a little more... how can I say... more normal?
- Geordi La Forge: What's normal?
- Tolian Soran: "What's normal?" Well, that's a good question. Normal is what everyone else is and you are not.
- [Geordi has had a camera implanted in his VISOR, allowing the Duras sisters to see the Enterprise interior from his perspective]
- Lursa: What is he doing now?
- B'Etor: I don't know. He bathed, and now he's roaming the ship. He must be the only engineer in Starfleet who doesn't GO to Engineering.
- Pavel Chekov: How big is your medical staff?
- John Harriman: The medical staff... doesn't arrive till Tuesday.
- Pavel Chekov: [Muttering in exasperation in Russian] [gestures to two reporters] You and you, you've just become nurses. Let's go.
- James T. Kirk: You say history considers me dead. Who am I to argue with history?
- Jean-Luc Picard: You're a Starfleet officer. You have a duty.
- James T. Kirk: I don't need to be lectured by you. I was out saving the galaxy when your grandfather was in diapers. I'd say the galaxy owes me one.
- Pavel Chekov: I was never that young.
- James T. Kirk: No, you were younger.
- [After Kirk stands up for a third time during a crisis on Enterprise-B]
- Montgomery "Scotty" Scott: Captain, is there something wrong with your chair?

New housing estate to blame for flooding my house
11:40am Saturday 22nd December 2012 in News By Sarah Davies
A PENSIONER whose home has started flooding for the first time in 60 years says a new estate is to blame.
Muddy water seeped into Joan Green's house in Tudor Way, Dines Green, Worcester, for the second time this year on Thursday.
The mother-of-six had to call in the fire service to help her clear up the mess when torrents of water cascaded down her garden path.
The 83-year-old had just finished the clean-up from the last flood, having decorated and put down new carpets.
She told your Worcester News she had never flooded before a new estate – Earls Court Farm – was built on land behind her home by developers Redrow.
The grandmother-of-10 said: "I heard a terrific gushing noise and water was coming into the house. I had to ring the fire brigade and the water went up to their knees. The first time it happened in the summer I was in hospital. "This is the second time it's come into the house and the third time we've had flood waters. I don't know what I would have done if my son Nigel hadn't been here. I don't need it. It's more of a nightmare because we've never had it before."
County and city councillor for the area Richard Udall has called on builders Redrow to urgently act to prevent further flooding.
He said: "Mrs Green has had enough, she is at the end of her tether, she must suffer no more. Redrow need to take urgent action to divert water away from her property and do so now. No ifs, buts or excuses, they need to act."
Coun Udall said he would write to Redrow seeking its support and a firm commitment to put in place measures to prevent further incidents.
A spokesman for Redrow Homes (Midlands) said: "We were contacted by Age Concern on [Thursday] morning regarding flooding at a property on Tudor Way. We immediately sent a member of our technical team to site.
"We cannot be certain yet as to the cause of the flooding but our investigations are on-going and we [had] already taken some precautionary measures [on Thursday].
"We extend our sincere sympathies to any residents affected by flooding during the recent unprecedented weather conditions."

But also planners have to take note as do developers who are building on green fields which once absorbed rain & surface water, should have to show more concern over drainage, and install better land drainage, not just the minimum.
If you consider the amount of rain we have had these past months, and with the ground being waterlogged, the rain which normally was absorbed by the soil in a natural way, has nowhere to go but to remain as surface water and just take the easiest way, which sadly is down slopes and hard standings such as patios until it finally gets to its natural water course, but affecting any properties in its way..

They should be paying Mrs Green and any other victims of their apparent negligence some severe compensation.

I was born in Grenville Rd then moved to Tudor way.. Just before the Island No 30 I think!!.. I can remember water running down the road as a child, and duck boards the only way across,,I'm talking 50 years ago! that was caused by something to do with the brook.. I would be interesting to know if anybody else remembers.

Here's Dwight Jaynes' follow piece on the trade idea. It's not very insightful. He applauds the Steve Nash idea (yuck), mentions Felton, who would be an ok consolation prize if we were getting something more, Johnny Flynn (seriously?), and Tony Parker...along with Antonio McDyess, who I'm pretty sure saw was going to retire, but Parker would be my number 1 choice outside of Deron Williams if it were possible. Obviously these are my opinions, feel free to form your own. I'm not sure why Devin Harris isn't mentioned when Utah is shopping him so hard right now, and I'm surprised he doesn't mention Chris Paul....lol. http://www.csnnw.com/pages/landingdwight?Getting-down-to-business-what-sort-of-ve=1&blockID=536374

Tuesday, the President, Vice President, First Lady, and Dr. Biden announced that 290,000 veterans or military spouses have been hired or trained. On top of that, an additional commitment of 435,000 veterans or military spouses hired by 2018 has been made.
At the Business Roundtable Quarterly Meeting in March, the First Lady urged CEOs to "think outside the box. Take real risks. And work together to make big, bold commitments to hire our veterans and military spouses and help them reach their full potential within your companies." Now businesses have been getting more and more creative.
Wal-Mart has promised to any veteran who has served honorably that if they need a job in the year after they separate from the service, they can have one at Wal-Mart. The Blackstone Group is setting up a program where each of its 50,000 managers is pledging to hire one veteran.
They say there is still more work to do. With the one million service-members transitioning out of the military in the coming years, every business that has not yet joined this effort should to make a commitment to hire or train our veterans and military spouses in the years to come.
The President, Vice President, First Lady, and Dr. Biden have noted that with the Iraq war over and the war in Afghanistan drawing to a close, more than one million service members are projected to leave the military in the next several years. Hiring our veterans and military spouses will not only help them manage the transition, but shows them that our nation truly honors their service, not simply with words, but with real, concrete action that will profoundly impact their lives long after they leave the military.
Companies are making new commitments to veteran employment every week. The following companies are among the many that recognize that hiring veterans is good for their bottom line:

About the Collection
The extensive culinary collection at the Bioscience and Natural Resources Library include early books on nutrition, diet, health, cultural surveys, literary writings about food, and of course, cookbooks. In addition to informing you about what foods were available to people during a particular time period and within a particular region, the works also provide information about gender roles, issues of class, ethnicity, and race.
An important part of the collection is the Gastronomy Collection of George Holl, donated to The Library in 1950, which includes books collected by George Holl, a San Francisco painter and well-known gastronome. His collection contained books from every continent except Antarctica, and covering every time period, back to Imperial Rome. Two strengths of the collection are early editions of important French gourmands from the 17th to the 20th centuries and books that illuminate the history of cookery in California.
What to Expect
The culinary collection in the Bioscience and Natural Resources Library is located in three areas. Cookbooks are located in the reference area on the main floor and other culinary books are in the stacks at TX, located on the upper mezzanine. Both of these collections are browsable and items can be checked out. The loan period for cookbooks is one week, and other books can be checked out for one month.
Items designated in the catalog as being located in the Locked Case are in a rare book room in the Library and are available for viewing upon request. They cannot be checked out and must be used at a location adjacent to the Reference desk. Special handling of these materials may be required.

Park Ridge, 1/11/13--Maine South's Danny Quinn controls the basketball as New Trier's Steven Cook hits the floor during Friday's game. | Jeff Krage~for Sun-Times Media
Over the course of his high school basketball career, Maine South senior Danny Quinn has constantly heard Hawks coach Tony Lavorato and his teammates preach the importance of moving on to the next play.
On Friday night, in arguably Maine South's biggest game of the season to date, Quinn was able to do just that at the free throw line with 40.9 seconds remaining in overtime. Quinn sank two free throws after missing the front end of a 1-and-1 a little more than a minute earlier to score the game-winning points in Maine South's 47-45 victory over New Trier. The win pulled the Hawks into a tie atop the Central Suburban South.
"Danny Quinn, I'm so proud of this young man," Lavorato said. "The young man missed a 1-and-1 in overtime, gets fouled and shoots two. We always talk about going on to the next play and the young man went on to the next play and stuck two of the bigger free throws of his career."
Quinn struggled during regulation, but Maine South senior John Solari scored a team-high 18 points to help weather an electrifying first half by New Trier senior Steven Cook. Cook, a Princeton signee, scored a game-high 24 points on 16 shots and pulled down eight rebounds. He scored 16 of New Trier's 21 points in the first half, but the Hawks (13-3, 4-1) did a better job of keeping Cook off the offensive glass and out of the passing lanes in the second half to limit the New Trier star's points at the rim.
Quinn's free throws and Maine South's lock-down defense in the game's final 13 minutes – New Trier scored just eight points in the fourth quarter and overtime – pulled the Hawks even with the Trevians (13-4, 4-1) in the CSL South. Despite suffering its first conference loss of the season, New Trier coach Scott Fricke remained positive regarding the Trevians' CSL South prospects after the game.
"It's way too early to talk about conference," said Fricke, when asked if he had talked about the CSL South race with his team. "All I know is we're 4-1 in conference and we're in good shape right now with a lot of home games coming up in the second half."

Marriage Made in Beverage Heaven
Cranberries are big business. How huge, exactly? Think a $2-billion-a-year-generating enterprise for Ocean Spray — the world's leading manufacturer of cranberry-related beverages and products. Headquartered in Lakeville, Massachusetts, Ocean Spray recently inked a bottling and distribution deal with corporate giant Pepsico to expand its cranberry portfolio of consumer products to new markets in the Caribbean and Latin America.
In light of the recent changeover of local distribution rights of the Ocean Spray brand from Wisynco's to Pepsico's hands last month, a fact-finding trip to Massachusetts for journos from The Rock was deemed timely. Also jetting off last week to the American east coast state for a two-day crash course in Ocean Spray 101 were Trinidadian, Guatemalan, Mexican, and Colombian media representatives.
Checking into the contemporary chic Colonnade Hotel on Huntington Avenue in the city of Boston, Thursday Food and our media peers were bussed from the metropolis to the quieter, rural landscape of Lakeville to be formally introduced to the corporate operational side of Ocean Spray.
Keith Benoit, vice-president of Ocean Spray's global partners and developing markets, welcomed the travelling multinational team of editors, reporters, photographers, videographers and regional Pepsico execs to the company's relaxed office space.
"We are a co-operative owned by 600 cranberry-grower families," Benoit told the group of 20-plus persons during his mid-morning presentation. "The company is owned by the growers who are also on our board of directors, and our job is to sell the fruit for them — whether it be our drinks, sauces and dried cranberry products."
Emphasising that Ocean Spray does not follow the corporate conglomerate business model, Benoit noted that functioning as a co-operative helps to create a different kind of work environment — a more laid-back work culture where even growers can pop into the corporate office in bog-ready attire — that has served the company well since the cooperative's establishment more than seven decades ago.
The cranberry fruit, cited as having several beneficial health properties including limiting urinary tract infection, is seen as a product with mass appeal.
With globalisation in full effect for the world's ever-expanding consumer markets, Benoit said the Massachusetts-based company's need to venture into untapped territories has become a matter of new priority. Enter the contractual agreements to retail Ocean Spray through food and beverage titan Pepsico. The recently forged alliance, he advises, "will help reach customers that we would not necessarily have been able to ."
Enrique Cortinas, director of strategic alliances for Pepsico Latin America Beverages, reinforced Benoit's point. Under a 20-year strategic alliance that was announced in January of this year, he noted Pepsico has exclusive rights to manufacture and distribute a portfolio of cranberry and blueberry beverages through its Latin America Beverages division to key countries in the Caribbean, Central America and South America.
To Jamaica's credit, the island is a sizeable market for Ocean Spray as the per capita consumption is documented as the highest in the world.
Looking to a winning future, the Pepsico director remarked: "Berries and superfruits represent an untapped but rapidly growing opportunity across Latin America. Our alliance with the leading cranberry co-operative worldwide unlocks tremendous value for us as we innovate within this category and reinforce our commitment to the growing consumer interest in balanced beverage choices."
A marriage made in beverage heaven, indeed.

Sale Expected to Debut for Winston-Salem Dash
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Former FGCU pitcher Chris Sale (Lakeland, Fla.) is expected to make his professional debut, coming out of the bullpen on Friday evening. Sale was taken 13th overall in the 2010 MLB First-Year Player Draft by the Chicago White Sox and reported to their Class A Advanced affiliate, the Winston-Salem Dash, in June.
Sale has thrown two bullpen sessions and tossed a simulated game on Tuesday in an effort to get his arm back into game shape, as his last start came on May 25th.

|Why I love failure (and why you should too)
|by Nicole Zummach
|on March 04, 2013
Page 1 of 2
I admit it. I've failed…a lot. I've made bad decisions. I've tried things that didn't work out as planned. I've watched my efforts result in nothing. If you think I'm crazy to publicly relate this information to you, you're not alone. A quick Google search of the word "success" yields twice the results (almost a billion) as does the term "failure". And most of the top hits for failure are concerned with trying to avoid it at all cost. Clearly, we humans are not big fans of this F-word.
I guess that shouldn't surprise me. Failing at something is a big hit to the ego and that never feels good. Add the possible repercussions attached to that failure, and it's no wonder the word has a bad rap. We tend to avoid talking about our failures; we hide them or deny them outright. But what good does that do us?
Perhaps before I answer my own question we should take a look at failure's overachieving cousin, success. Success feels great! We want to shout it from the rooftops. We want to wrap ourselves in it like a warm blanket and never leave. And that's the big problem with success; once we've succeeded, it's not always easy to know what comes next. In fact, some of us rest on past laurels for so long we stop trying altogether (Tom Cruise, I'm looking at you).
Success can also lead to unrealistic expectations from those around us, and even ourselves. People who succeed early can become paralyzed by the fear of failure, resulting in countless examples of "one-hit wonders," people who wowed us early on and then couldn't or wouldn't follow up. (Will Psy ever top his über-hit "Gangnam Style"?)
As social entrepreneurs, we might as well get comfortable with failure since the failure rate for start-ups is anywhere from 30-95%, depending on how you define it. Yep, you read that last number correctly. And that's data from Harvard Business School. So don't fear failure, embrace it!
Excited to read your Failure Report. Right now I'm working with an org - FailForward - that has a lot of knowledge to share on that process. Check it out and/or get in touch!
There was a similar piece in an innovation newsletter last spring that really resonated with me - definitely worth checking out...
Failure is the Only Path to Innovation

Philadelphia, PA (NBC ) - Some gut wrenching moments at a commuter train station in Philadelphia, all caught on camera.
A 14-month old girl is recovering after falling on the train tracks.
Security camera video shows a woman standing on the platform with her daughter in a stroller.
Suddenly the stroller starts to roll toward the track and topples over onto the outer rail.
The woman is seen jumping down on the tracks and lifting the baby to safety.
A good Samaritan ran to an emergency call box to alert the transit controllers of the incident.
Officials were able to get an approaching train, less than one minute away, stopped, before entering the station.
Another bystander rescued the mother from the tracks.
The child suffered a cut on her forehead but is expected to be okay.
No charges were filed.

Marine Management News Fish Identification Quiz
May 2007
This fish begins life in California waters with many thousands- sometimes over a million- of its fellow larvae during the January through May spawning period. Young fish begin moving inshore to intertidal and estuarine habitats at around 4 to 6 months old and 1 to 2 inches in length, although some may choose to stay near drifting algae and seagrass. As it matures, this fish moves into deeper water. It frequently forms loose schools 10 to 20 ft. above shallow (to 120 ft.) rocky reefs, but may also be observed as individual fish resting on rocky bottom, or schooling in midwater over deeper (to 240 ft.) reefs. Adults are most commonly found in water less than 55 ft. deep, but they have been found down to 1,200 ft.
This species ranges from the Aleutian Islands of western Alaska in the north to Huntington Beach, California in the south, but it is not frequently seen south of Pt. Conception.
This fish has a relatively fast growth rate. First year growth is usually 3½ to 4 inches; by age five, growth rate for females surpasses that of males, and by age 15, females may average about 2½ inches longer than males. This species reaches a maximum size of around 27 inches long and 10 lb., and can live to be 50 years old.
Recreational anglers often catch this fish, particularly in northern California. It is taken mostly incidentally in the commercial fishery, although increased landings have been seen for the live-fish fishery, primarily from Morro Bay north to Fort Bragg. The federal government has reported that the number of fish greater than two years old underwent a 62 percent decline between 1945 and 1986; however since then, especially in 1994 and 1995, large numbers of new, younger fish have bolstered the population off northern California and Oregon.
This fish is a black rockfish, Sebastes melanops. The daily bag limit for black rockfish is currently 10 fish during the open season, in combination with other RCG Complex fishes.

This year's epic pavilion included over 60 exhibitors, more than 70 featured chefs, and dozens upon dozens of alcoholic beverage options (the festival is sponsored in part by Southern Wines and Spirits, the largest distributor of alcoholic beverages in the country). It was hard to make room in my head and my stomach for them all, but here are a handful of items I've still got on the brain. Inside the Tasting Pavilion What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The grand tasting was housed inside Pier 57 off of New York's West Side Highway — a location that was as jam-packed as it was enormous. 1 / 8 Crab and Avocado Corn Cakes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I wasn't blown away by the Hurricane Club's corn cakes, but I did appreciate chef Lawrence Knapp's crab and avocado topping. The addition of cilantro microgreens and radish added another dimension of flavor and texture, which led me to realize: those four ingredients alone would come together to make an incredible salad. 2 / 8 Oxtail Flatbread What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Chef Brandon Chavannes of 5 Ninth created a flatbread topped with oxtail ragu, a lush Idiazabal cheese sauce, and rucola microgreens. I was a fan of the flavor and texture, minus the baby arugula. It reminded me vaguely of a really high-end cheesesteak crostini — in a good way. 3 / 8 Entwine What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Food Network's first-ever wine label, Entwine, was on full display in the grand tasting pavilion. I tried the $12.99 Pinot Grigio. 4 / 8 Pork Roulade What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Porchetta isn't the only way to enjoy stuffed pork: Paul DiBari of Stuzzicheria wowed with a pork braciole filled with spirals of Swiss chard and provolone cheese. The whole slice of pork was enveloped in a spicy, tangy-tart tomato sauce. 6 / 8 Tuna Tartare Tartlet What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Qi Bangkok Eatery chef Pichet Ong is wildly talented with pastries. Exhibit A: avocado, soy, shallot, and Thai herbs held together with a rich, short tartlet crust made of rice. 6 / 8 Figenza What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Figenza prides itself on being the "world's best fig-flavored vodka." In theory, the spirit — which is infused with fig, then distilled — sounded incredible. In reality, it had medicinal, syrupy quality that I couldn't get behind. It did, however, leave me pondering the idea of infusing my own fig vodka at home. 7 / 8 Banana Dumplings What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Hemant Mathur at Tulsi served the best dish of the tasting: savory banana dumplings stuffed with figs and cashews, then doused in a tomato-fenugreek gravy. The gravy — a masala-like sauce with no shortage of spice — was a wonderful flavoring for the dish's quinoa base. 8 / 8 0 7 6 9 0 Read More New York City Wine And Food Festival Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Salmonella Outbreak Leads CDC to Call Back Furloughed Employees
Partly due to a salmonella outbreak that has sickened nearly 300 people - the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has called some employees who were furloughed because of the government shutdown back to work. The CDC called back several data analysts and epidemiologists who track down and respond to foodborne illnesses across the country. CDC spokesperson Barbara Reynolds says they are reevaluating some of the roles now that the government shutdown is in the second week. She says they have to consider the possibility that this will be a longer-term shutdown. Reynolds says the foodborne illness division was down to a skeleton crew of about 10 people - forcing the agency to reduce the number of bacteria strains it was monitoring and making it difficult to update a centralized system that helps officials identify and locate the source of outbreaks. But with the safety alert issued by USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service Monday about the growing number of illnesses caused by salmonella associated with raw chicken products produced by a California farm - the CDC made the move to call back furloughed investigators. Officials at USDA and the CDC are working together to try to pinpoint the cause and breadth of the outbreak.

City's Combined Charities Campaign starts Sept. 18
The City launches its 2003 Combined Charities Campaign, "Lend a Hand, Touch a Heart," Sept. 18, from 9:45-11:45 a.m., with a kick-off event at Ilus W. Davis Park. Department directors, other City employees and "mystery" celebrity guests will entertain the crowd. Representatives from local charitable organizations also will be present to educate City employees about participating charities and how contributions will be used.
The kick-off will feature key speakers including Mayor Kay Barnes, City Manager Wayne Cauthen, City Council members, department directors and union representatives. The co-chairmen for this year's campaign are Les Washington, Director of the Neighborhood and Community Services Department; and Mickey Dean, Acting Director of the Human Relations Department. The co-coordinators for these departments are Renea Nash and Tracey Franklin, respectively.
This kick-off event encourages participation from City employees and starts five weeks of donating time for City employees. An awards ceremony is held in December. The City's goal for the 2003 charity campaign is $450,000. Last year, City employees raised $523,716, a 4 percent increase over 2001 donations. Last year, more than 2,280 employees donated to the campaign, with approximately 680 of those employees pledging in amounts that qualified as special recognition levels.
For more information about the 2003 Combined Charities Campaign, call Donna Mandelbaum, Department of Housing and Community Development, (816) 513-3014.

I was amazed to read in this mornings' Gateway (April 30, 2014), that the "Council stalls fuel dock grant due to lack of public comment." I appreciate that the city council invites public opinion on matters of community development. However, in the 14 years that I've lived in Gig Harbor, I've never heard more agreement on any issue than Gig Harbor needing a gas dock.
In terms of business growth, and economic viability for downtown merchants, nothing could do more good than to encourage boaters to visit Gig Harbor. A gas dock is integral to making Gig Harbor the boating destination that it could be. Please announce loudly when the next meeting occurs for us to show up, and say "Hey, we need a gas dock!"

The iSTAR PULSAR represents technical advances in high resolution digital imaging. This rapid speed of capture together with the iSTAR's light weight and zero setup time allows multiple locations to be photographed in minutes, not hours.
Here's a recent set of images shot with iStar Pulsar. Some of these images where shot with iStar on standard tripod and some using Nodal Ninja M1-L (slightly modifed workflow).
Images enhanced in post production.
Ease of use and zero set up time iSTAR is the first 360 degree camera with the power to process its images internally, with no need for a computer to complete post-production processing or stitching. Crucially, iSTAR can be used by anyone and does not need special training or photographic skills. With zero set up time it is small, light and robust, making it easy to transport and quick to deploy.
Current 360 degree imaging systems typically require around 10-15 mins to capture and generate a 50 megapixel spherical image. With the iSTAR the same spherical image is captured instantly in one single shutter release. The final image is ready in under 10 seconds. This rapid speed of capture together with the iSTAR's light weight and zero setup time allows multiple locations to be photographed in minutes, not hours.
The iSTAR is precision engineered like no other camera and its construction pushes the very limits of today's technology. With no moving parts, four lenses are mounted in a solid steel case.
It is this armour that allows the camera to operate at the highest level of precision. Each iSTAR lens is calibrated for optimum performance giving a perfect 360 degree image instantly.
* NOTE: some posted features of iStar are still in development and will become available soon via firmware update.
Descriptions and technical specifications are not binding and may change.
No Returns due to cost of item. Image source files and software available from actual unit prior to purchase upon request.
If interested in renting iStar please contact us

52 Weekend Getaways: Charlemont, MA
See the forest for the trees.
Zipline tours got their start in Central America in the 1970s, but they're just now hitting New England in a big way. Most are in the northernmost part of the region, though two Charlemont-based companies are competing to be the go-to source in Massachusetts. Deerfield Valley Canopy Tours emphasizes the educational aspect, with guides who describe the local foliage and fauna. Meanwhile, Berkshire East goes for the thrill, with two 2,000-plus-foot ziplines that plunge downhill at 50 miles per hour. 800-532-7483, deerfieldzipline.com; 413-339-6617, berkshirezip.com.

BEYOND: Two Souls Tribeca Trailer
Sony and Quantic Dream made an expected trip to the Tribeca Film Festival yesterday where they showed off one of the year's most anticipated titles, BEYOND: Two Souls. Although many find it odd that a video game trailer was shown off at a film festival, Quantic Dream has always been excellent at displaying video games as true art comparable to movies. As expected, the trailer was well received and, quite frankly, blew us away. Shortly before visiting the festival, Sony released the final cover art for the game as well. It's probably one of the best covers we've seen to date.
BEYOND: Two Souls features the excellent voice acting chops of Willem Dafoe and Ellen Page. So, it should come as no surprise that this game is going to pull at your heartstrings and perhaps make you look at video games in an entirely different way. If you haven't already, check out our gorgeous screens of BEYOND: Two Souls and then watch the trailer below.

Nomar exits A's game as precaution
Veteran doesn't want to risk tight calf in cold conditions
OAKLAND -- A's infielder Nomar Garciaparra, who started at third base Tuesday because Eric Chavez has a sore right shoulder, left the game with tightness in his right calf after one inning but said it was simply a concession to his history and the cold conditions.
"I just figured, it's cold, my calf's tight, time to stop," Garciaparra said after Oakland's 12-inning victory over the visiting Red Sox in the second game of a three-game series at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. "I don't want to risk anything by pushing it this early [in the season]."
After drawing a one-out walk in the bottom of the first, Garciaparra went from first to third on a single before scoring on an infield single. He was replaced at third base by Bobby Crosby in the top of the second.
According to the A's game notes, Garciaparra has spent time on the disabled list 12 times in his career and missed 90 games with the Dodgers last year with injuries to his left calf, right hand and left knee.
"Actually, it was both calves," Garciaparra said. "So I've felt this before. That's why I had to get out of there. ... Usually, I'm not that smart."

EBHS Unleashed
Staff and volunteers of the Elmbrook Humane Society will be blogging about what's going on at the society, as well as other observations about life in Wisconsin.
The mission of the Elmbrook Humane Society is to promote the human-animal bond through adoption and education, to provide shelter to homeless animals, and to prevent animal cruelty and neglect. EBHS services the city of Brookfield, the villages of Butler, Chenequa, Elm Grove and Nashotah, and the towns of Brookfield and Delafield. EBHS shelters unwanted pets and strays, and rescues injured domestic animals and wildlife, provides resources for individuals with companion animals and provides Humane Education to schools and civic groups.

Meet Your Match - who's right for you?
Hello again animal lovers! Today I want to talk about cat personalities. I think that this is the most important thing that a potential adopter should consider when looking at cats. It is important to adopt a cat that is compatible with your lifestyle and personality.
What personality traits do you find desirable? Do you want a cat that enjoys being petted, cuddled and held? Do you want a playful and talkative cat, or a quiet and mellow kitty? Do you want a cat that is outgoing and friendly? To answer these questions EBHS uses the MYM (Meet Your Match) Adoption Program.
The MYM program works by having both human and feline complete personality assessments. For the humans they take a 19 question assessment. The cat's "Feline-ality" is determined by: their enjoyment if being petted and held, their activity level/how talkative they are, response to new people and things. After completing the test each cat and person is placed into one of three "color" groups: orange, purple and green.
A cat in the "green" color range is outgoing, savvy, and adventurous. An "orange" cat is good company and steady companions. Cat's in the "purple" color range seek affection, are quiet and tend to stay out of trouble. A person who is a "green" adoptor is most successful with cats who can adapt quickly to new situations and people. People in the "purple" range are a good match for cats who need time to adjust to their new surroundings. Adoptors in the "orange" color range are a good fit for the cat that is looking for a steady companion. Within each of the three color groups: orange, green and purple are three specific personality types. To learn more about the MYM personality types feel free to visit aspca.org.
Having been involved with cats and cat adoptions for a few years, I feel that the most important quality to look for in a cat is their personality. Some people adopt a cat because they like the color. Others adopt a kitten because they look "cute." Only later do some of these people find out that the cat they adopted doesn't fit their lifestyle or personality. For example, we got Mittens because we loved his color but we didn't know he would be this needy. Or I loved Spot when he was a kitten because she was so cute, but 4 years later she just isn't cute anymore we don't want her anymore. Those are just a couple of the scenarios that can happen. However if you keep the cat's "Feline-ality" in mind when adopting a cat, both human and feline can have many happy years together.

Oracle has agreed to pay $2 million to settle Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accusations that the Indian subsidiary violated US laws designed to prevent bribery overseas.
The SEC in its complaint said the company failed to prevent Oracle India from secretly setting aside money that was finally used to make unauthorised payments to vendors in India.
The unauthorised funds that existed between 2005 and 2007 amounted to around $ 2.2 million, the SEC said.
According to the complaint, Oracle India in May 2006 secured a $3.9-million deal with the Ministry of Information Technology and Communications.
However, as instructed by Oracle India's then-sales director, only $2.1 million was sent to Oracle as transaction amount.
Other employees were then instructed by the distributors to park $ 1.7 million for 'marketing development purposes', the SEC said.
The distributors kept $1.51 million for services rendered.
"In 2007, Oracle discovered that a few employees of its Indian subsidiary apparently had directed distributors to maintain side funds in violation of Oracle business practices. Following a thorough investigation, the services of the employees involved were terminated," Oracle India spokesperson said, responding to Business Line's queries.
Oracle disclosed the matter to the government and has cooperated with the SEC in its investigation, culminating in today's announcement of a $2-million settlement, the spokesperson said.
However, the company did not disclose the names of any employee. A sales manager linked to the plan resigned, the jobs of four employees were terminated and the company has put in place controls and training to prevent similar situations from occurring again, it said.
"We will continue to maintain a high standard of compliance and accountability for our business," Oracle spokesperson Deborah Hellinger said.

A small fire at Effingham Ambulatory Surgery Center was quickly contained Thursday morning.
A pump in the mechanical room was circulating water, Fire Chief Joe Holomy said, when it seized up, caught fire and triggered the alarm at 7:36 a.m.When the Effingham Fire Department arrived about two minutes later, medical personnel were evacuating patients. Although no one was injured, ambulances were called so the patients did not have to wait in the cold.When EFD went inside the building, they found that the smoke was contained to the mechanical room. Firefighters set to work removing the smoke with a ventilation fan, opening the second-story mechanical room door to aid in the process."We did a quick survey (of the center)," Holomy said. "The damage was limited to the pump... As soon as we did a sweep of the building, we started allowing patients back in."It was 7:56 a.m. when patients returned to the building.Firefighters were picking up their equipment to leave the scene at 8:16 a.m."It was a good outcome," Holomy said about the situation. "I want to commend the staff for doing such a good job in evacuating those people. Ironically, we just had a fire drill last week."

BROWNSBURG — The Patriot Challenge Race tasked participants with completing a three-mile obstacle course at Lucas Oil Raceway this past Saturday as residents from central Indiana came out to support servicemen and women.
Proceeds went to the Wish For Our Heroes organization while all of the fun went to the participants who made it out for the 8 a.m. start.
Plainfield resident Nate Viau participated, along with his son and a friend. They said sliding down into a mud pit was a highlight of their run.
David and Samara Duff, also from Plainfield, had a different of opinion.
"We like getting dirty but I lost my shoes and my wedding ring in the mud hole," Duff said. "I liked it though. We've done the color run but we liked this one more. We like getting wet and dirty, so we'll definitely do it again."
While the Duffs were wading through the mud trying to find his lost ring, Brownsburg resident Joe Baugh was running his seventh mud run on the elite course.
There were two courses: One made to lighten the load for families that came out for fun, and another for veterans like Baugh and others who were competing against their own past performances.
"This was the first time I ran the Patriot," Baugh said. "Going up the bleachers on the drag strip with a sand bag over your shoulder was the most challenging part for me. The slide was the best part but the location was probably the coolest part. We started at the drag strip starting line with the lights, so that was really neat."
For participants like Baugh who were 21 or older, there was a choice between select types of Sam Adams beer once they finished their race.
Other activities included a raffle for a 1998 Indianapolis 500 Corvette pace car. Representatives of radio station Q-95 were also there, with a wheel for participants to spin and win prizes.
While the Dymant family wasn't there for the cold beer afterward, they still made the trip all the way from Fishers for fitness and fun as they tackled the obstacle course in the second group of participants Saturday morning just as it started to rain.
"We came out here for all of our fallen heroes and those out there fighting for us and giving their lives for our freedom," Luann Dymant said. "We did the mud-a-thon last weekend in Anderson and the dirty-girl run at Klipsh, but we enjoyed this one. The obstacles were really fun."
Most everyone said the location, being so close to the racing capital of the world, made the event especially nice.
"This is a cool location because we're NASCAR fans and we came to (NHRA) Nationals out here last year," Billy Dymant said. "We liked running on the oval more than the drag strip because we're short track fans, but the running part was still difficult after you're soaking wet and weigh 20 more pounds. We would have preferred more obstacles."

South Carolina's response to what experts call the nation's largest-ever hacking of a state agency should be more than a year's worth of credit monitoring for the nearly 5 million people and businesses exposed by the fiasco. Unfortunately, taxpayers will end up paying the tab for this "free" service from the state government.
In September, hackers stole electronically filed tax returns for more than 3.8 million consumers and 657,000 businesses from the S.C. Department of Revenue. The stolen tax records dated to 1998 and included personal information for 1.9 million dependents – Social Security numbers, 3.3 million bank account numbers and 5,000 expired credit card numbers.
The cleanup has cost $25 million so far, including $12 million for a year's worth of credit monitoring by the firm Experian. The contract with Experian – signed under a no-bid, emergency situation – accounted for the single largest bill.
The enrollment period for the service was extended two months to give more people a chance to sign up. But by the March 31 deadline, only about 1.5 million South Carolinians had enrolled. Those who signed up have until May 31 to register their children if they qualify.
But lawmakers appear likely to extend the monitoring service, which seems appropriate. Many of those whose information was hacked remain vulnerable to exploitation.
A state Senate bill would offer protection for 10 more years. Experian has offered to provide the state an additional year of credit monitoring for $10 million.
The state House bill would pay for another year of credit protection.
It might be unreasonable to expect the state to continue monitoring records until all risk to individuals and businesses has been eliminated. But the state is responsible for ensuring its records are secure, and it is obligated to provide reasonable protection for those whose records were hacked.
While these services are provided at no cost to the victims, the continued protection ultimately could cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.
In addition to protecting those who were hacked, it is imperative the Legislature and state agency heads take steps to make sure this doesn't happen again. That should include upgrading the security of the state's computer systems, requiring all agencies to use the same security measures and requiring routine consultation and oversight of all systems by security experts contracted by the government.
With hindsight, it is evident with greater coordination among agencies and central oversight of computer operations, this disaster might have been avoided. The state needs to do what's necessary to repair the damage and build a better firewall for the future.

Airport to ditch 'naked' scanners (From Banbury Cake)

Airport to ditch 'naked' scanners
9:37am Monday 17th September 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
Controversial "naked" security scanners are to be ditched by airport bosses.
The machines at Manchester Airport invaded passenger privacy, according to critics, by giving graphic X-ray style images.
But a trial of their use comes to an end next month and they will be replaced by five next generation "privacy friendly" scanners thanks to EU rules.
The new scanners include a feature which automatically processes images of passengers using a system that eliminates the need for a security officer to view the ghost-like X-ray body outlines that sparked the controversy.
The new machines instead scan passengers using radio frequency-based millimetre wave technology rather than the low dose X-rays used by the current body scanners. A computer then analyses the scans and alerts airport staff where to look for hidden objects using a stick figure diagram.
Despite a panel of independent European health experts unanimously concluding in March that there was no evidence that the current X-ray body scanners posed health risks, airport bosses said the current trial of those machines will end in six weeks because legislation from Brussels now excludes the technology.
"We're baffled by this situation because health experts say they are safe plus the overwhelming majority of our passengers and security staff prefer body scanners to frisking and it's frustrating that Brussels has allowed this successful trial to end", said Andrew Harrison, chief operating officer at MAG, Manchester Airport's parent company.
"Our security surveys and those run by the Department for Transport show passengers regularly rate their experience at Manchester as one of the best security processes in the UK if not Europe.
"There's no doubt that body scanners play a big part in these results. That's why we are once again investing in new next generation scanner technology where the human examination of images is automated."
Five new security scanners in total will start to be installed across all three terminals and transfer lounges at Manchester Airport from October 1 in a trial expected to last three months. In the meantime, an additional 55 full-time security staff have been employed.
