Melon with Raspberry Sauce Recipe
Refreshing melon slices fanned out in a pretty pool of raspberry sauce create a light but elegant ending to any special-occasion meal.
- 2-2/3 cups unsweetened raspberries
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
- 1/2 large cantaloupe
- 1/2 medium honeydew
- Set aside a few raspberries for garnish. Place the remaining berries in a blender or food processor; cover and process until pureed. Add the honey, lemon juice and ginger; cover and process. Strain and discard seeds; set sauce aside.
- Cut the cantaloupe and honeydew into three wedges; cut each wedge widthwise in half. Remove seeds and rind. With a knife, slice each piece of melon lengthwise toward narrow end without cutting completely to the end. Open into a fan shape.
- On each dessert plate, place 2 tablespoons of raspberry sauce and a cantaloupe fan and honeydew fan. Garnish with reserved raspberries. Yield: 6 servings.

The Wausau East football team is hoping to build momentum this season after making positive strides last year.
The Lumberjacks won more games than in the previous four years combined.
East finished in the upper half of the VFA North, but still well behind conference heavyweights Appleton North and Kimberly.
So second year coach Steve Jung looked at his roster and saw a lack of size and an abundance of athleticism. And will make the switch to a spread option offense.
He hopes that will help set his team apart.
"If we're going to bang it between the tackles with teams like that, that's not going to happen for us," said Lumberjacks coach Steve Jung. "We don't have the size to do it, but we have the speed and we have the skill players to spread the field and make the teams play the whole field against us."
"I like it because we get to throw it a lot more, give me a chance to show off my arm a little bit," said senior quarterback Cole Nelson.
"For this year's team, it suits us pretty well," said senior wideout Logan Taylor. "It allows us to spread everybody out and use our speed to our advantage."

PEKIN, Ill. -- Several area churches want Pekin tornado victims to know they have not been forgotten.
On Monday, members of three different Church of Christ congregations distributed food, cleaning supplies, kitchen wares and bedding to tornado victims in a parking lot on 8th Street in Pekin.
The goods are trucked in from the Church of Christ Disaster Relief in Nashville which has been doing this type of work for more than 20 years.
"As people come in and talk to us and give us their needs, then we work with that and then we schedule some deliveries and work with the people and get what they need," said Operations Director Bryan Reeves.
The group also receives furniture, and soon appliances, to help area tornado victims. They plan to continue distributions for several more months.

The Jaguars announced the release of three veteran players Thursday — WR Torry Holt, OT Tra Thomas and DT Rob Meier. The moves did not come as a surprise, as all three players were notified last week they would be released.
Holt and Thomas both signed three-year deals with the Jaguars prior to last season, while Meier has spent his entire career in Jacksonville.
The release of these veterans symbolizes a continued commitment to youth for the rebuilding Jaguars.
"I think we've laid a good foundation and we just need to continue to build," said GM Gene Smith. "We feel a lot better about our roster heading into the 2010 season. The silver lining to our young players playing so much last season is the experience they gained."
Jacksonville felt comfortable releasing the veterans despite the value they still possess in part because of the major contributions from several rookies in 2009. The team's first two picks, OTs Eugene Monroe and Eben Britton, started 13 and 15 games, respectively. Third-round DT Terrance Knighton led all rookie defensive linemen in tackles on his way to earning All-Rookie honors. Fifth-round WR Mike Thomas showed great explosiveness as a slot receiver and quickly proved to be one of David Garrard's favorite targets.
Holt was the team's third-leading receiver last season with 51 receptions. His 722 receiving yards was second on the Jaguars.
Thomas started three games and made appearances in five others with the Jaguars in 2009.
Meier was a seventh-round draft choice by Jacksonville in 2000. He spent the '09 season on injured reserve.

Wales gets the biggest share
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has released the details of how EU aid will be redistributed. Wales will end up with nearly twice as much money as Scotland and Northern Ireland combined.
- Wales gets a total allocation of around €2.145 billion. This is €375million more than Wales would receive under the EU formula for allocation of funds to the UK.
- Scotland gets around €795 million, €228 million more than under the EU formula.
- Northern Ireland gets around €457 million, €181 million more than under the EU formula.
- England gets €6.174 billion, €784 million less than under the EU formula.
– Business Minister Michael Fallon MP
The UK government has decided to re-allocate EU Structural Funds to minimise the impact of sudden and significant cutbacks in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. EU Structural Funds are important for supporting economic activity. The EU formula would have seen several areas in most need of funds lose out, so we have taken the decision to correct that. It is important that these areas use this funding to help deliver strong, sustainable growth and assist in rebalancing the economy.

Residents in South Ham and Buckskin to have their say on community project funding
Updated 3:18pm Tuesday 28th January 2014 in News By Jessica Bave, Reporter
RESDIENTS in South Ham and Buckskin will have the opportunity to vote on community projects that will receive a funding boost in their area tomorrow.
Projects are set to get the cash boost from the 'Your Community, Your Choice' grant which awards grants of up to £2,000 from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council and Sovereign Housing Association as part of the Neighbourhood Partnership for the area.
The grant aims to assist voluntary and community organisations to deliver sustainable projects in the two areas.
The Neighbourhood Partnership brings together representatives from community associations, community planning groups, faith groups, borough and county councillors with agencies such as Sovereign Housing Association, North Hants Clinical Commissioning Group and the police to enable local people to influence and improve the quality of life for their community.
Local residents will have an opportunity to get more information on the projects and will then vote on the projects they would like to receive funding between 3pm and 7pm on January 29. The voting will be held at the Ridgeway Centre in Blackdown Close, Buckskin and the Westside Community Centre in Paddock Road, South Ham.
The cabinet member for community services at the borough council, Councillor Hayley Eachus said: "By giving the community the opportunity to vote on which projects receive a funding boost it means they get a real say in both what they need and also what they get in terms of community projects, which is at the heart of the Neighbourhood Partnership."
Lee Dillon, Sovereign's community investment co-ordinator said: "We are delighted to be part of the Neighbourhood Partnership and strongly support the idea that local residents should have a say in which projects should be funded to help strengthen their community and urge residents to go along to either centre to vote."

Jo Walke says...
Do you not realise that you have not adequately included the eldest members of these areas and thus most likely, at the other end of the scale, the youth of the areas??
I'm sure if you took the trouble to really engage withe these areas results would be far better targeted - afterall, residents dont always want the same as you councillors/organise

Milwaukee Bar holds memorial service
On May 9, the Milwaukee Bar Association (MBA) held its annual memorial service at the Milwaukee County Courthouse. The memorial service honors and remembers those attorneys and judges who passed away during the last year. Deputy Chief Judge Maxine Aldridge White, Milwaukee County Circuit Court, presided over the service.

Christian Steinmetz (son of the late Justice Donald Steinmetz), the Rev. Timothy L. Kitzke and Judge John J. DiMotto. Photo credit: Omar Mallick.
After White called the service to order, the Rev. Timothy L. Kitzke, pastor of four Milwaukee parishes, gave an invocation, which was followed by introductory remarks from MBA President Beth Ermatinger Hanan.
Guests included MBA members and the family members of those being honored at the service. Attendees also included Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David T. Prosser and many current and retired judges.
Three speakers, Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge John J. DiMotto and attorneys Christian G. Steinmetz and Marcia Facey Drame, gave reflections regarding the contributions the honored attorneys and judges made to the Milwaukee legal community and the community at large.
The service closed with White and Hanan reading the 53 names of those being honored and a closing prayer by Rev. Kitzke. Retired Judge Neal P. Nettesheim provided music for the service. At the conclusion, guests were invited to stay for a reception.
|Judges, attorneys and family members gathered to remember members of the bar who died during the last year.

PLATTSBURGH — The Battle of Plattsburgh Association has received a state charter, which recognizes its efforts to offer a top-notch local museum.
The association, which runs a War of 1812 interpretive museum at the PARC museum complex near U.S. Oval, is now able to continue operating as a nonprofit, charitable corporation.
"As with anything in the education field, we're required to receive an incorporation certificate from the New York State Education Department," explained Keith Herkalo, president of the association's Board of Directors.
"The certificate allows us to extend the tax-deduction status for donations."
The Battle of Plattsburgh Association formed in 1999, but the application process for state certification began in earnest just a few years ago.
The organization had to show that it has continued to meet various requirements as an educational facility.
"In order to receive a permanent charter, you have to make sure the museum is mature and stable," Herkalo said, citing the areas of personnel, finances, facilities, collections, exhibitions and programs as guidelines for achieving success.
The New York State Museum, as a representative of the state's Education Department, reviewed documents submitted by the association since the process began, including a list of officers, minutes from Board of Directors meetings and audit reports.
"We're a business that happens to be a museum," Herkalo said of the organization's continued success over the past decade.
"We've expanded in a climate of recession. They (the state) want to know that we have remained fiscally viable."
The state also puts a lot of emphasis on a museum's ability to care for and display its collection.
BOPA has consistently provided a standing exhibit — one that does not change over time — in both its art gallery and Battle of Plattsburgh Interpretive Center, as well as a revolving exhibit that changes every 12 to 18 months.
The revolving exhibit featured "The Life of A Soldier" before its recent display, "Misses, Mistresses and Misconceptions," which focuses on the life of women during the War of 1812 era.
A new exhibit highlighting the War of 1812 time line is scheduled to go on display next year in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the war.
"The staff at the New York State Museum looked at the way we handled our exhibits and collection and were impressed," Herkalo said.
A representative from the State Museum also held a short-notice visit of the Plattsburgh facility to observe staff and review such infrastructure issues as displays, presentations, collections storage, security and fire protection, he added.
The state recognition will also come in handy as the museum works on securing grants. The state charter is a solid reference tool when competing for grant money available, Herkalo noted.
"It puts us on the map as a formal organization that is meeting the requirements for an educational perspective."
Tammy Rock, who recently came on board as the museum manager, praised the smooth transition she has had at the facility.
"Keith and the board have really been great mentors helping to make the transition successful."
She noted that the state designation will strengthen the association's ability to borrow exhibits and artifacts from other facilities.

The Impact of the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP): What Does the Research Tell Us?
The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) was established in 1997 to provide coverage for uninsured children who are low-income but above the threshold for Medicaid eligibility. In 2009, and again in the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Congress extended federal funding for CHIP, but funding will expire a little over a year from now. Decisions about CHIP's future funding will be consequential as more than 8 million low-income children were covered by CHIP at some point during 2012. To help inform the policy debate about CHIP, this brief reviews key data and evidence from the large body of research on the impact of children's coverage.Issue Brief Read More

The Affordable Care Act and Insurance Coverage in Rural Areas
Rural populations face disparities compared to metropolitan populations in health care. While rural individuals were not more likely to be uninsured than metropolitan counterparts pre-Affordable Care Act, they were poorer and less likely to have private insurance. With coverage changes in the ACA involving an expansion of Medicaid for poor and near-poor populations, decisions by states with large rural populations may cause rural residents to have disparate access to coverage, which may exacerbate cost and access barriers to health care.Issue Brief Read More

Back in the day, the crewmen who serviced Darrell Waltrip's Mountain Dew-sponsored No. 11 car were known as the "Dew Crew."
The pit crew wore shirts with the moniker on the back and had bright green pants, making them hard to miss during the 1981 and 1982 NASCAR seasons.
Now, after a lengthy hiatus, the "Dew Crew" is returning just in time for the Daytona 500. But this time, it has a much different meaning.
Pepsi will officially re-launch the Dew Crew on Thursday to mark its Diet Mountain Dew sponsorship of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports team this season. The new Dew Crew extends well beyond the pit crew, though, to Earnhardt Jr.'s fans themselves.
"They want the fans to form a 'Dew Crew,' as if they're fans of this car," Earnhardt Jr. said. "So the Dew Crew is the fan base. ... It's the fans that are following that car, and the fans of Diet Mountain Dew and regular Mountain Dew, I suppose."
The Dew Crew will be a virtual online hub for Earnhardt Jr. fans – it will live on Facebook and have its own URL, dewcrew.com (the site isn't active yet) – where they can interact with each other and make decisions that will be reflected at the track.
What kind of decisions? PepsiCo's Christie Shan said fans would be able to vote on things like paint schemes or the design of Earnhardt Jr.'s firesuit.
"We want the fans to be recognized," she said.
Shan said the company's internal numbers show Earnhardt Jr. has more than 30 million fans, but only about one million of those are active in social media. Naturally, PepsiCo sees a big opportunity to expand that platform.
To entice fans to become part of the Dew Crew, Shan said Diet Mountain Dew is giving away Earnhardt Jr.'s firesuit from Sunday's Daytona 500.
Even if he wins?
"Yeah, we'll still give it away," she said. "We hope he does win."

The South Miami City Commission will consider on Tuesday two ordinances that would restrict panhandling and bolster the city's trespassing laws. The first would make it unlawful to panhandle, "by trick or fraud," or to help someone violate the ordinance. It would also prohibit panhandling while trespassing on private or public property.
The second ordinance would define and prohibit trespassing on private and public property, including entering or loitering on city property where the public is not normally invited without the city's permission, or entering city property without permission and refusing to leave after being warned. The ordinance gives the city manager the power to designate which areas of city property the public is not allowed or where there are time restrictions on when the public can be there.
Trespassing is already illegal under state law.
Violators of the proposed ordinances would be considered trespassers. They could also be fined up to $500, imprisoned for up to six months or both — the city code's general penalty.
Bobbie Ibarra, executive director of the Miami Coalition for the Homeless, said she did not know what the city was implying by "trick or fraud," and wondered if charities that solicit funds would be included under the definition of panhandling. She also said that the majority of people who panhandle are not necessarily homeless. If the ordinance was targeted at the homeless, Ibarra said that she didn't think criminalization was the right approach and that enforcement could be costly.
Baylor Johnson, spokesman for the ACLU of Florida, wrote in a statement to the Miami Herald, "The language of the ordinances is troubling enough, because it is overly broad and vague, but the real danger posed by these ordinances is primarily in how – and against whom – they are enforced." Johnson added that seemingly neutral laws can be used to single out and target the homeless.
"Instead of pushing homeless persons into the criminal justice system, the city would probably be better served by finding solutions to the root causes of homelessness in the first place," Johnson wrote. "If these ordinances pass, we will be watching closely what happens in South Miami to make sure that nobody's rights, regardless of whether they're rich or poor, are being violated."
Earlier this year, the city of Sarasota was ordered by a judge to stop enforcing a trespass ordinance that the ACLU said was being used by Sarasota police to target the city's homeless. Sarasota subsequently passed an ordinance in April that prohibits soliciting funds along public roads.
Both South Miami ordinances were submitted by Vice Mayor Joshua Liebman, who did not return phone calls seeking comment. Both ordinances are on their first reading, and will need a second reading for final approval.
The commission will also consider final approval of a ban on using, or causing to be used, gas-powered leaf-blowers within 50 feet of any residence or commercial outdoor dining area.
That ordinance, which would also restrict when noisy lawn equipment can be used, was deferred at the last meeting after questions about how the law would be enforced. The new draft includes provisions to notice violators by mail and provides for a fine of up to $500, six months imprisonment or both.
Also on the agenda is the approval of the city manager's contract.
South Miami City Hall is located at 6130 Sunset Drive, and Tuesday's commission meeting begins at 7 p.m.

When I pray every salat, I don't feel anything in my heart, it's as if I'm just doing physical actions. I feel embarrassed everytime I think of this and I don't want to consider myself as a kaffir. I try to make myself purely concentrate on my salat and I still don't feel anything. When I ask my mum do you ever day-dream in your salat as I heard from a Sheikh that 90% of muslims day-dream in their salat, she said she never day-dreams and that saddens my as most of my salat I day-dream. I really do fear the punishment that occur to those who sin, that's why I move away from the bad things. What can I do? How do I fell iman in my salat? How do I purely concentrate in my salat? Please, I feel really sad when I things of these things. What should I do?
Omar, it is a good sign that you feel in yourself when things could be improved and it's a good thing that you are striving to find ways to do so. All of us have room for improvement, you are not alone.
To help you get started, you do need to understand that the best salat is that which has the presence of the heart or khushuu. When a person's heart is fully occupied of what he says or hears, he is in a true state of khushuu'. This concept of Khushuu' in Salaat is most important.
One of the first things is to look at your wuduu. Performing wuduu immediately after hearing the Adhan prepares you for the pending salaat. Wuduu also works as a buffer zone before engaging in salaat. It is a time during which you can disconnect from whatever you were doing and bring your mind to the imminent prayers. During wuduu you should bring your thoughts back to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and the words you are saying.
When praying, keep your eyes focused on the place of sujuud. This helps you gain more concentration.
The Messenger of Allah (SA) is quoted to have said: "Worship Allah as if you see Him. If you do not see Him, He does see you."
So, when you are standing facing the Qiblah remember it is as if you are standing in front of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. No person or thing or event in this life equates to His importance. Whatever direction your mind may want to wonder off to, bring it back consciously to the words of prayer which you are voicing.
Keep your mind active with thoughts of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, nothing else. Here is something to think about:
Have you ever delivered a speech or some kind of a presentation to a large crowd? Perhaps at school, and you knew that you had to present well, your class mates will be watching, listening and the teacher will be assessing? During your presentation, would you allow your mind to wonder off to think about something else? Or would you be doing your best to engage your brain to execute the presentation according to how you planned it? You wouldn't let it get the better of you right? I won't even bother listing all the reasons for you get my drift. So, why do we then think that when we stand in front of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, it matters less to concentrate? If we put so much effort into focusing when we are standing in front of mere people, can you imagine how much of the presence of our mind and heart we need to show to our Creator. No one is more worthy of our attention than He. And it is not for His sake but for our sake, for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala does not need us but we need Him.
It is also a good idea to change the suras that your recite from time to time to avoid the mechanic-like state of repetition. In addition, ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to help you concentrate. Ask sincerely and be patient in your trying.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala help you in you endeavour to perfect your namaz.

AssalamuAlaikum dear brother
Please visit and read this amazing wonderful brilliant book about increasing concentration and khushuu in prayer.
This book inshaAllah can be life changing.
note: I have very limited knowledge.
Humans make mistakes, and two possible mistakes in this book are:
I dont know how Islamically allright these statements are. After all, we are making dua to Allah to bless the Prophet (peace be upon him) and not greeting him directly.

Assalaam Alaiykom brother,
I haven't even had a chance to look at the website but just from reading your post, I think this suggestion to imagine or think of anyone other than Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala during prayer is shirk, even if it was to be to imagine our beloved prophet Rasul. The only one who should receive our total submission and the only one to be glorified is Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. We pray and ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to place His blessings of the highest degrees upon our Prophet Mohammad Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam and His family. Salaam

Here's some news to make the CBS suits smile: last night's title game drew a 16.0 rating, the highest in over a decade, according to Sports Media Watch.
And, really, it shouldn't be too surprising. After all, we had Duke -- essentially the Yankees of college basketball, a team everyone outside of Durham loves to hate -- pitted against a real-life Hoosiers story trying to become the first "real" mid-major (read: a program that doesn't spend a ton) to win the championship in the modern 64-team era. Throw in a thrilling finish (the ratings peaked at 20.3 at 11:30), and you had the perfect storm for a ratings bonanza.
The 16.0 rating represents a marked increase over the past several championship games; up 34% from last year's UNC-Michigan State tilt, 25% from the 2008 Kansas-Memphis showdown, and 18% from the Florida-Ohio State game in 2007. In fact, it was the highest-rated title game since 1999 when...you guessed it, Duke lost another white-knuckler to Rip Hamilton's UConn squad.
So for all of you tin-foil hatters out there who suggested Duke received such a favorable draw this year out of consideration for television ratings, there's no way that's true...right?

Real Madrid moved one step closer to La Liga triumph as they edged 11th-place Rayo Vallecano away from home. It was hardly a vintage performance from Jose Mourinho's men, with plenty of chances going to the hosts, but a neat long-range backheel from Cristiano Ronaldo was enough to see them get the three points and extend their lead at the top of the table to thirteen points.
By the time Ronaldo had given the visitors the lead, Rayo could have been ahead 1-0, with only the width of the post separating the hosts from a goal after Piti had done excellent work in beating both Alvaro Arbeloa and Iker Casillas.
Even after Ronaldo's goal, the hosts were in a fairly promising position, but some last-ditch defending, a red card to Michu* and more Rayo wasted chances meant that the leaders managed to escape with all three points.
*It was a pretty normal challenge on Sami Khedira. Not entirely sure why it was worthy of a straight red.

The Baltimore Orioles had a chance to win the AL East and head to Texas for their first game of the playoffs. They're … kind of doing that, in a way. If you squint. The Orioles will head to Arlington to face the Texas Rangers, but it will be in the Wild Card play-in game, as the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Orioles on the last day of the season, 4-1, behind three solo home runs from Evan Longoria.
Orioles starter Chris Tillman allowed just four runners, and he was in the stretch just once through five innings. That's the good news. The bad news is that he allowed three solo home runs, with Longoria victimizing him for two. Ryan Roberts added another home run in the fourth inning, and Longoria finished the scoring with another homer against Jake Arrieta in the sixth.
Jeremy Hellickson was brilliant, holding the Orioles to a hit and a walk over 5⅓, striking out six. The lone run of the game for the O's came on a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning off the bat of Adam Jones.
The Orioles will win the second Wild Card, and they'll play against the Rangers on Friday. The New York Yankees will win the American League East, which is of special importance to me, because that means I won't have to spend my offseason writing Wire: The Musical!.
The game had some sentimental meaning for the Rays, too, as B.J. Upton played what is almost certainly his last game as a Ray. After singling in the eighth inning, Upton was removed for a pinch-runner, and he left to a standing ovation. Upton was the second-overall pick in 2002, and he played 966 games for the Rays over parts of eight seasons.
Also of note, Dan Johnson hit three home runs on Wednesday for the White Sox. That means that Johnson and Longoria have hit nine home runs between them over the last two final games of the season. That means something.

Tony Award-nominated Peter and the Starcatcher and Jersey Boys author Rick Elice, who was in attendance, penned a Dec. 29 piece for the Huffington Post capturing the events of the surprise Nov. 24 ceremony that took place in front of a small gathering of friends and family in upstate New York. His account represents the first announcement of the union.
According Elice's account, Schumacher and White host an annual Christmas gathering at their home, but opted for different plans this year. Guests were not informed that a wedding would take place.
"Dear ones – Since Christmas has been cancelled, let's do Thanksgiving instead," read a letter to friends last fall. "Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend, to be precise. You must come. Must, as in you're coming. 'No' is not an option. Fun and games and the whole gang. November 24th. Be there."
The ceremony closed with two rousing choruses of "Zippity Doo-Dah."
White is a partner in the renowned interior design firm White Webb. Schumacher is the Tony Award-winning producer of Disney's Newsies and The Lion King, as well as Aida, Mary Poppins and The Little Mermaid. At Disney Feature Animation, Schumacher oversaw the development of such Disney films as "The Lion King," "Lilo and Stitch," "Tarzan," "Mulan," "The Emperor's New Groove," and "Pocahontas." His book, "How Does the Show Go On?," which introduces young readers to the magic of live theatre, was released in 2007.

Doug Powell started his business, Edible Arrangements, near Highway 58 in Cedar Falls less than a year ago.
He says he loves the traffic for his business, but driving on that highway can be a pain.
"At some of the peak times when the businesses are letting their employees go and obviously now during the holiday season," said Powell.
Cedar Falls city officials say Highway 58 between Viking Road and Greenhill Road has become busier than anticipated, especially with several new stores in the area.
"The primary problem is traffic turning off of Highway 58 left onto Viking when they're southbound. (They) get backed up beyond that turn lane and you have traffic that's traveling at 55 miles per hour speed and suddenly there's vehicles either stopped or moving very, very slowly in front of them and that's where most of the problems are occurring," said Jeff Olson, Cedar Falls Police Chief.
Olson says in 2013 they saw more than 100 accidents on Highway 58 near Viking Road.
"A week ago Friday there was three accidents out there on 58 between Viking and Greenhill within a couple hours period. One was a two car, one was a three car, and one was a five car accident that occurred there," said Olson.
The Iowa DOT and the city have put funding aside for changes to Highway 58 in the year 2017. Olson says that could include an overpass and some exit ramps, but they are still in the planning stage.
For now, Cedar Falls Police are asking for people to take Cedar Heights Drive or Hudson Road to help ease the congestion and lessen the danger on highway 58.
They also say in 2014, the city plans to open Prairie Parkway, located just east of Highway 58. They hope that four lane road will help reduce traffic on Highway 58 as well.

To help you in your building endeavors, the second edition of Build It with Bales has been made available for download by the Development Center for Appropriate Technology (DCAT). Build It with Bales is a comprehensive guide to building and insulating straw bale homes. The 150-page guide contains all manner of guidelines and information on how to build a straw bale house.
Originally released to correspond with the 2012 International Straw Builder's Conference in Colorado, the second edition of Build It with Bales is available as a free download from the DCAT. The free download of the updated guide comes in the wake of amendments to the 2015 International Residential Code made in May 2014 that will include updated information concerning straw bale homes.

In a recent post on MOTHER EARTH NEWS, Paul Scheckel touched on the benefits of induction as a highly efficient way to cook. But he brought up a common complaint: Induction cooktops are really expensive.
If you've been considering investing in induction cooking for its considerable eco-friendly benefits (close to 90% efficiency is pretty impressive), but have been stonewalled by the $1,200 to $3,000 price tags, then I have good news. There are ways to integrate the hottest new technology in cooking into your kitchen without winning the lottery.
First things first though, let's review the benefits for Mother Earth of this method of cooking.
Energy Efficiency. Induction cooking heats the cookware itself, not the stove top, making the pot or pan the heating element. This is where the optimal efficiency comes from. The U.S. Department of Energy determined the efficiency of energy transfer for an induction cooker at 84%, versus 74% for a smooth-top, non-induction electrical cooker. This isn't a huge difference, but when compared to 40% efficiency of gas, which is often touted as the eco-friendly cooking option, the difference is more than noteworthy. Additionally, gas cooking generates substantial ambient heat, often requiring extra energy be expended on cooling the kitchen.
Speed. It's the speed of induction cooking that is a big selling point both for chefs and eco-warriors. The ability to boil a gallon and a half of water in half the time of gas or electric saves precious resources, and time. That speed also means a faster heat response - when cooking with the correct cookware - all without the unpleasant byproducts of combusting gas in your home.
Durability. The glass ceramic cooktop of an induction cooker is much easier to clean than a gas hob, and because it is never hot itself, no burnt-on food will destroy the cooktop or the cookware, as can happen with regular electric. This means less waste and less need to manufacture replacements.
Downsides: That glass ceramic cooktop is more susceptible to scratching and breaking, and cookware needs to be ferromagnetic. If your current pots and pans aren't cast iron or stainless steel you may have to buy all new ones. Additionally, non-flat surface cookware like woks don't work well, because the induction only works through direct contact. If you like to stir-fry your food in a wok, you probably won't like induction.
Now, back to our main point: How do we benefit from all this eco-goodness without going bankrupt? By downsizing.
Induction cooking is not new - it's the manufacture of full-size induction cooktops that is the recent development. And, as with all new technology, soon it will become more affordable. In the meantime however, you can use one of these three options to both benefit from the technology and see if it's the right fit for you while you wait for those prices to plummet.
1. Install a two-burner induction cooktop like this 12 in. Summit Radiant Electric Cooktop ($289) next to your current stove. This way you can benefit from the speed and efficiency of induction in tandem with your current setup.
2. If going whole hog and cutting a slice out of your counter is too big a step, consider a combination countertop/freestanding cooktop such as this 1650 watt Countertop Cooktop ($99). It can either sit on the counter or be built in, allowing you to test it out first then install it more permanently if you decide you like it.
3. The cheapest and simplest option is to buy a portable micro-induction cooktop like this $58 SPT Countertop Induction Cooktop and set it alongside your current set up, using it for high-energy needs such as boiling water.
If you can afford a shiny set of new pans and a grand or two for a fully-fledged induction cooktop, then induction is the clear choice for ultimate energy efficiency while cooking. But if the price tag is too steep, investing a small amount now in trying out the technology in your kitchen will benefit you immediately, and prepare you for when the prices inevitably plummet.
Jennifer Tuohy writes about new technologies in the kitchen, including induction, for Home Depot. A large selection of induction ranges can be viewed on the Home Depot website, as well as a full selection of induction cooktops.
I live in a what I call a recycled log cabin. Half of the logs came from an 1800's log cabin from around the Nashville area.
My home is located on The Farm Community, one of the oldest, largest and most successful intentional communities/ecovillages in the world.
Much of the cabin's initial construction took place in the 1970's, when the community's members lived under a communal economy. The Farm's economic structure changed in the early 1980's, a shift which made each family financially responsible for any future improvements and maintenance of their home. My family took possession of the cabin in 1985.
The original cabin was disassembled by Farm work crews at its original location in Nashville, Tenn., and the cedar logs were re-stacked back on The Farm to form one half of this home.
The other logs came from oak trees harvested on the site where the cabin now stands, hand hewn into shape by a member of The Farm who became one of the cabin's first residents.
Many of the support beams throughout the home also came from the local timbers harvested from the building site.
The log walls are about 8 inches thick. Because wood is comprised of plant cell walls, the millions of tiny air pockets make an excellent source of insulation, keeping the cabin warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Although they do not require any painting or maintenance, on some of the interior walls we have sanded the logs and coated them with linseed oil to bring out the natural honey color of the wood.
The entire floor system and the framing for the second story and interior walls all consist of recycled lumber acquired by Farm salvage crews.
Throughout the 70's, The Farm was involved in the demolition of hundreds of buildings across the region, bringing back the materials to use in the construction of homes and community buildings back on the land.
This was economically feasible because there were no labor costs due to the collective economy that was in place at that time. Once it became necessary to pay workers wages after the economic restructuring of the early 80s, it was no longer cost effective to acquire salvaged lumber through demolition.
During the communal period, this home housed about 40 people, including several families and assorted single folks. In the 1980s the house was turned into a duplex and it remains that way today. By sharing resources, we are able to live comfortably while dividing various expenses, keeping our cost of living down. For example, our two families share one electric meter, one propane gas connection for our cooking stoves, one water heater, one washer and dryer set, and the list goes on and on. We have also shared costs of improvements to the home over the years.
One of our first investments together was a wood furnace in our basement. The furnace heats both sides of the house with a forced air or central heat system, which keeps all of the dust, debris and smoke associated with wood heat out of our living areas.
A few of years ago, my wife and I had an addition built on to our side of the home to expand our living space. It features a floor of Vermont slate. We added a computer controlled electric radiant heating system to the floor, which actually can use less energy than most water based radiant heating systems. It is enough to keep our side of the home warm when temperatures are above freezing.
In Tennessee, we are concerned as much or more about keeping the home cool in the summer than gathering heat in the winter through passive solar.
For this reason on our south wall we installed tall, narrow windows that let in light without allowing a lot of heat come through.
Our entire north wall is glass, wrapping around the corner with two more large, Low E, gas-filled windows on the east wall. This also happens to be where we have a view into the wooded valley below. A sliding glass door on the north wall can be opened to draw in cool air.
The sliding glass door opens out on to a deck. The deck flooring and railing is constructed of locally harvested sassafras lumber, a wood rich in oils and naturally insect and rot resistant. This enabled us to avoid the use of treated wood.
We also built the addition with six inch stud walls, giving us two more inches of insulation than is typical in standard home construction. Under the siding there is an extra layer of foam board, providing yet another layer of insulation. The exterior siding on the addition and on the second story of the entire home is cypress, another wood that is naturally resistant to rot and insect damage. It requires no painting or exterior treatment. Another home improvement has been the addition of new flooring in our upstairs hallway and bedrooms. We chose to use bamboo both because it is a renewable resource and because it is also one of the more affordable options. The downside of bamboo is that although it resembles hardwood in appearance, it is actually quite delicate and susceptible to scuffs, dings and dents. We felt that the upstairs floor would not be exposed to the same amount of traffic that our downstairs receives and for the most has held up just fine.
Our other options could have been pre-finished hardwood or locally milled hardwood from the nearby Amish community. The Amish hardwood would have required extensive sanding and finishing, something that can be endured with new construction, but is impractical when remodeling.
The shingle roof we installed 30 years finally had to be replaced and this time we went with a metal roof, coated with a baked enamel paint that is rated at 40 years. The roof color is white, which reflects heat and even infrared light. Even on a hot summer day, the metal is cool to the touch, which in turn helps keep the home cooler during the hot summers of Tennessee.
It has taken many years to get where we are now. Instead of a mortgage, we have always worked with a "pay as you go" plan, doing a few improvements or projects each year. We have always been happy that we were not burdened under the weight of a mortgage, but these days it feels very good indeed.

Thanks to the World Wide Web and more accessible and affordable travel, the world is the smallest it has ever been. People are able to get to the other side of the world in less than 24 hours, for fewer dollars than ever. As a result, a new trend is developing. While it has always been commonplace in the US, more and more countries are adopting the idea of the staycation and holidaying domestically.
Both the US and the UK have seen a rise in the number of staycations being taken in 2014, with 10% more Americans vacationing within the United States, and reports from a Suffolk cottages agency in the UK expressing record bookings this summer, staycations are at an all-time high.
In theory, vacationing in the homeland is a great deal more environmentally friendly than flying to an overseas destination. This is because air fares have such a large impact on carbon emissions. Choosing to use public transport or drive your own car is a great deal more green than purchasing a plane ticket.
However, in vast countries like the United States, staycations have the potential to not be so green. With such long distances to travel, flying is often the only option and of course with flying involves huge carbon emissions.
A return trip from Los Angeles to Orlando for a family of four generates a massive 6.5 tonnes of carbon. During the average lifetime of a single tree, it will absorb just one tonne of carbon meaning that seven trees will need to be planted to offset your vacation.
Surprisingly, cruise ships are also a very environmentally harmful way to holiday, they emit three times more carbon than aircraft. Approximately 14 ounces of CO2 is emitted per passenger, every 1000 yards travelled.
So what ways can you take to decrease your overall carbon footprint on vacation? Here are just a few ways you can have an eco-friendly vacation without leaving the country:
Rent an RV with a friend or with your family to minimise costs and your carbon footprint all at once. 1 in every 12 vehicle owning households in the US owns an RV, so it seems logical to utilise these vehicles and take a trip to a state or city you have never visited before. Over the course of the year an RV will emit
Even taking careful consideration when choosing the hotel you stay in on your vacation can help to minimise your carbon footprint. Many hotels have "gone green" and now make small efforts to limit their negative impact on the environment. Efforts include only washing the bed sheets at the end of the visitor's stay or switching to water efficient showerheads. Hundreds of thousands of hotels are joining The Green Hotels Association, like a Chicago Hyatt, which reduced their waste hauling by 80% since being part of the association.
Walking and biking holidays are becoming increasingly popular in the US, with 34.54 million people going hiking or backpacking in the Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 period. Vacations such as these are beneficial for your health, and as almost as environmentally friendly as you can possible be. In addition to this, there seems to be a positive pattern of camping in the States, 42.5 million Americans (14.9% of the population over the age of 6) went camping in 2011.
It seems that the recession has led to fewer Americans seeking to vacate abroad, and instead preferring the comfort of our own back-yards. This of course is favourable to the welfare of the environment. So whether you're staying in a beach hut by the sea, or a reliable hotel, camping or even a mobile home why not try your own version of a staycation this summer? You might find that it is less hassle and more enjoyable than venturing abroad.

Building Biology advises us to look for a successful history of use when choosing building materials but in our ever changing product-based building environment we seldom have the luxury of evaluating track record. This becomes quickly apparent when vetting new products for client's homes. I recently called a major manufacturer to find out what was in a new product developed to prevent mold growth on framing lumber. I wanted to avoid the use of biocides for this chemically sensitive client. The rep said with great pride that the product had now been out for six months and that they hadn't received even one warranty complaint! When Building Biology addresses the principle of history-of-use it is looking at a bigger picture…not six months but decades and centuries!
In the brief history of building with petrochemical-based products, centrally produced by a handful of very powerful corporations, we must often put our trust in new products expecting them to do what the manufacturers have claimed they will do. Time-accelerated lab testing can help us to project how a material may behave over time but it is not an exact science and nothing can surpass the real test of time.
New "smarter" products for building our homes are being invented all the time and while advertising campaigns continually grind out tantalizing lists of benefits for the latest and greatest, the manufacturers are silent about the millions of homes that were built on yesterday's promises…those products that failed to become the "super endurables" they were initially advertised to be: waterproofing materials that have been conveniently re-named "water resistant", construction tapes that lose their "stick" over time, foams that get tunneled by insects, insulations that shrink away, products that leach chemicals, and so-called harmless chemicals that are found to be harmful.
In contrast the pre-industrialized buildings that populate the old world, intact and serving for centuries, are the bi-product of thousands of years of building evolution that preceded them. They represent holistic systems that were perfected for their local climate, from their local resources and by their local craftsmen. They are made of natural non-proprietary materials and they have successfully weathered the test of time. They embody the principles of sustainability by their very nature. This valuable heritage of accumulated wisdom is little understood or acknowledged in current North American building and it has become the precious baby that got thrown out in the bathwaters of industrialized building assembly.
Many of us who have embraced natural building have found that, contrary to what manufacturing interests would have us believe, we can not only use time-tested materials and traditional craftsmanship to build our homes, we can create enduring spaces that nurture us, nurture the environment and serve our modern lifestyles well. All of the buildings throughout Europe and Asia that are several centuries old stand as a testament to longevity and they have several things in common:
They are built of the natural materials at hand
They have massive wall construction
They allow for the free flow of vapor through them…no vapor barriers.
They have the capacity to handle large fluctuations in moisture without deterioration
They are petrochemical free and biodegradable.
We can build building with such longevity in North America too. Why don't we? As long as we continue to see housing as a short-term financial investment for personal gain rather than a contribution to the wealth of future generations, initial cost per square foot will continue to be the most important perception of housing value. It remains the rare home-owner/investor who is willing and able to step outside the conventional housing industry, pay more for something that will last beyond their lifetime and reap the benefits of living in a naturally healthy home along the way.

When I was first attempting to build a garden at my Ecohut, even though I grew up on a farm, I had no idea how to build soil. I was privileged to grow up on a working farm before chemicals became the norm. We didn't have an organic garden, we had a garden.
I watched endless videos on YouTube and read many books. Lasagna Gardening by Patricia Lanza is a great book and always Ruth Stout, but there was never a conclusive DO THIS! bit of information in any of the books I read. Yes, composting is vital, but the gardeners on YouTube who were growing amazing gardens were using this home creation called Compost Tea.
I watched many videos on YouTube about compost tea, but every video had some 'secret' ingredient they were trying to sell, so after watching many videos I started to experiment with materials I had on hand. The secret I came to find out was a magical tea 'activator' for $49.95
I have found there is no exact recipe for compost tea. My compost tea recipe is based upon materials readily available, so here is a basic recipe for compost tea, and short of killing your batch with sulphured molasses, there is no wrong answer for my witches brew.
Water: I use rainwater when available or my awesome well water.
Oxygen: I started with a small aquarium pump in a 5 gallon bucket. Now I make 40 gallons at a time and use a large air pump that I bought. An air compressor will do.
Unsulphured Molasses: I use approximately 1/4 cup per 5 gallons. Make sure to use UNsulphured molasses only. The sulphur will kill all the microbes in the tea.
Manure: Cow, sheep, horse, rabbit, bat guano, whatever you have available.
Hay: Alfalfa, alfalfa or alfalfa is the best. Spoiled or new alfalfa both work great.
That is my basic recipe. Oxygenate the water, add dry ingredients plus molasses. Continue to inject air into your tea for the duration of brewing.
Microbial life grows and feeds on oxygen and carbohydrates (molasses) and will be evident by a frothy head on the batch. When either of these is eliminated, the tea will go anaerobic very soon. Apply to your garden asap.
Compost tea can be added directly to the soil around your plants, or strained for use as a foliar spray.
I have made many recipes of compost tea, and no two batches are ever the same in terms of the microbial growth which is demonstrated by the frothing action of the tea. So don't be discouraged, keep brewing.

Jonathan Pryce and Kate Fahy played Redmayne's parents in the 2004 UK premiere of Edward Albee's controversial play involving bestiality, The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia?, at the Almeida Theatre and in the West End, for which Redmayne scooped Newcomer prizes at both the Evening Standard and Critics' Circle Awards. And Matthew Marsh, who was also in the original Goat cast, and Nancy Crane are his current on-stage mum and dad.
In the lead-up to the real contest between Barack Obama and John McCain in November, Christopher Shinn's new play explores the tension between liberalism and fundamentalism in American politics. On election night, things are looking rosy for the Democratic party. But as the likely President-elect (Marsh), his wife, advisors and 20-year-old son watch the results roll in, controversial photos of John Jr (Redmayne) are gathering momentum on the internet and the press team are working on damage limitation. Father and son must reach an agreement.
TO SCROLL THROUGH ALL OF NOW OR LATER's 1st NIGHT PHOTOS,
Also in the Now or Later are Domhnall Gleeson (whose own actor father, Brendan Gleeson, also attended last night's premiere), Adam James and Pamela Nomvete. American dramatist Christopher Shinn has had four previous plays staged at the Court: Where Do We Live, Four, Other People and, most recently, 2006's Dying City, which was this year nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in the US. The production is directed by Royal Court artistic director Dominic Cooke and designed by Hildegard Bechtler, with lighting by Charles Balfour and sound by Ian Dickinson.
For 1st Night Photos, our Whatsonstage.com photographer Dan Wooller was on hand for the post-show party at the Royal Court along with the company and other first night guests including government minister Ed Miliband, actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Helen Schlesinger and playwrights Joe Penhall, Richard Bean, Stephen Jeffries and April de Angelis.
Redmayne followed The Goat with screen success in the likes of Elizabeth – The Golden Age, The Good Shepherd, Saving Grace, The Other Boleyn Girl and, airing from this Sunday on BBC One, Tess of the D'Urbervilles and also appeared on stage in Hecuba at the Donmar Warehouse. Marsh's many credits include, most recently, A Prayer for My Daughter, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Overwhelming and The Lightning Play on stage and Spooks and The Commander on television.

(Editor's Note: We don't think it's crazy, and wanted to offer a more positive outlook on this offseason than we offered thus far. Nice job.)
Please fellow Hawks fans, before you think I am crazy and have lost my mind let me explain my reasoning on this scenario by scenario...
1) Joe Johnson contract - Like it or not he was going to get a max contract offer from multiple teams. You don't think once the Clippers, Knicks, Chicago and Jersey missed out on Lebron, Wade and Bosh; Joe wasn't next on their radar? For some reason people think that only superstars get max contracts. That's true if other teams are not waiting to give Joe the max. This year was a players market so 2 other players that aren't superstars got them as well. For those who don't know, he is only the 16th highest paid player in the league this year. Everyone wants to be down on Joe based off the playoffs last season. If Joe goes to NY then the Hawks ARE NOT a playoff team and folks are bashing the ASG for being cheap. No way another superstar comes here if Joe leaves.
2) Not Trading Marvin for Shaq - Correct again. 1) Shaq's focus is on TV shows and endorsements until the playoffs come. 2) You don't ship away one of your starters for a guy that wants to start over your decade younger, All Star center. 3) His production: Shaq only gives you 12 ppg last year playing with Lebron AND in the starting lineup. What does he give you a year older and only playing bench minutes? What do you do with ZaZa, let him ride the pine? He is only 26 (on paper) and still bigger than D. Howard.
3) Not signing Shaq straight up - If Shaq wanted ATL to pay an inflated price just to sign him when he would take the minimum to go to Boston or San Antonio, I rather him walk. Even if we did sign him, that makes us less flexible for any trades during the season.
4) Selling the draft pick - Just because the ASG didn't overspend on a bench player this summer, doesn' t mean they don't plan on using that 3 mill they got for that extra draft pick. They could make another major move during the trade deadline. With the extra cash and less signed draft pics, the Hawks will have more flexibility.
5) Not going in the luxury tax.... yet. - If you look at the teams with the highest payrolls, most of them are not close to a championship. Indiana, Philly, NO and the Charlotte all have a higher payroll than Atlanta now. Even with Joe's max deal. Let's let Orlando blow their payroll on guys like Brandon Bass and plant them on the bench.
6) Keeping Jamal Crawford - This man is an All-NBA player who is an assassin at the 3, and can blow by any man in front of him. Why in the H would people suggest trading him for anything less than an all-star? Who could you get that could score like him? ASG need to go ahead and give him the extension.
Not saying that the ASG is perfect, but they didn't do anything this year make the Hawks go in the wrong direction. If Teague turns out to be a average starter, the Hawks are the 3rd best team in the East this year.

Let the Voters Decide
I believe it was totally inappropriate for Town Manager, Russ Dean, to come out in an editorial touting the benefits of a Tax Incentive Financing (TIF) district in the downtown area. It appears as though he is attempting to garner positive public opinion before the TIF Plan is presented to the Board of Selectmen in June.
On a more troubling note are comments he made in Tuesday's Economic Development Commission meeting. He commented that the EDC needed to move quickly to get TIF approved by the voters before development actually started on either Chestnut or Franklin Streets. RSA 162k requires TIF to be in place before development begins. But, it was then said that there were plans already underway at sites on these two streets.
So, how does TIF actually encourage development within its district if interest is already taking place by identified parties? Clearly it appears to be an attempt to place new future tax receipts into a downtown beautification fund rather than the general fund that benefits all taxpayers.
