San Francisco Bay Area Tuesday Morning News Roundup
San Francisco Sheriff Deputy Found Dead Off Shore of Vellejo
The body of a San Francisco sheriff's deputy whose boat was found adrift and unoccupied near the Vallejo Municipal Marina Monday morning was found in the water Monday afternoon, a U.S. Coast Guard spokeswoman said.
Michael Roberts, 56, was found near Dock B at the marina around 3:10 p.m., Petty Officer 3rd Class Loumania Stewart said.
Roberts was identified as the owner of a 26-foot vessel that was found unmanned near the marina around 6:45 a.m., Stewart said.
Authorities from the Coast Guard, Vallejo Police Department and Solano County Sheriff's Office had searched for Roberts with a helicopter, by boat and with a dive team.
The boat was found with keys in the ignition and there was a cellphone onboard, Stewart said.
Vallejo police Lt. Kenny Park said the deputy's wallet was also found on the fishing boat.
Park said the deputy's death is not a criminal investigation.
Sheriff's spokesman Susan Fahey said Roberts was a Hercules resident and married with children.
He had been working for the department since 1998.
Fahey said Monday was Roberts' day off.
She said she considered him a boating expert who owned his own boat.
Elderly Hayward Woman Dies in Apartment Fire Monday Night
An elderly woman was killed Monday night when she was trapped in the bedroom of her burning Hayward apartment, a fire spokesman said.
Firefighters responded to reports of smoke coming from an apartment at 24955 Cypress Ave. at 7:28 p.m., fire spokesman LaShon Earnest said.
They found smoke coming from the first-floor apartment and immediately attacked the fire while trying to search for anyone who may still be inside.
The one-alarm response had the fire knocked down at 7:39 p.m. but discovered that the 76-year-old woman had died in her back bedroom.
Her husband, also 76, had managed to get out when a neighbor heard smoke alarms and opened the front door to help the man to safety, Earnest said.
But the fire had somehow started in the back bedroom and it was too hot and unsafe for the neighbor or the man to try and help the bedridden woman out of the apartment.
Both the husband and the neighbor were treated for smoke inhalation and released at the scene.
Firefighters are investigating the cause of the fire, Earnest said.
Four Gang Member were Convicted of Three Counts of Murder in Berkley Shooting
Four reputed gang members were convicted Monday of three counts of murder for a fatal shooting in Berkeley and a subsequent car chase that killed two people in Oakland.
The four alleged members of the North Side Oakland gang face life in prison without parole when they're sentenced by Alameda County Superior Court Judge Thomas Reardon on July 12 because they also were convicted of two counts of special circumstances murder for killing multiple victims and to enhance the activities of a criminal street gang.
In addition, jurors, who deliberated for less than two full days, convicted the four men of two counts of evading police causing death.
In his closing argument, prosecutor Steve Dal Porto called the four reputed gang members "domestic terrorists" for their involvement in the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Charles Davis of Berkeley in the vicinity of Allston Way and 10th Street in West Berkeley at about 6:30 p.m. on May 16, 2009, and the fatal car crash a short time later.
"They embrace a mindset, a culture, a way of life where gaining respect is brought about by how much fear, how much violence you can inflict on a community," Dal Porto said.
Dal Porto said the fatal shooting of Davis stemmed from a feud the North Side Oakland gang has had with a rival Berkeley gang that started over a stolen car tire rim in 2002 and continued with the murders of three North Side Oakland gang members, including one only three weeks before Davis was slain.
The prosecutor said the suspects wanted revenge and were looking for Davis' brother but when they couldn't find him they instead targeted Davis, who wasn't a gang member.
Davis was pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspects fled the scene in a Cadillac at high rates of speed after Davis was shot, going through numerous stop signs as they took a circuitous route through Berkeley and Oakland, Dal Porto said.
The Cadillac then crashed into a Mazda and a pedestrian at Aileen Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way in Oakland, killing both the Mazda driver, 27-year-old Todd Perea of Brentwood, and the pedestrian, 41-year-old Floyd Ross of Berkeley, according to Dal Porto.
After the crash, police arrested Stephon Anthony, 26, a San Leandro man accused of driving the Cadillac at the time that it crashed, and 30-year-old Anthony Price of Oakland.
Two rifles were found on the passenger side of the car, Creighton said.
However, Samuel Flowers, 25, who was accused of shooting Davis, and Rafael Campbell, 28, managed to flee on foot.
Flowers was arrested in Bal Harbour, Fla., on May 25, 2009, and Campbell was arrested in Sacramento on Nov. 17, 2009, after he was profiled on the television program "America's Most Wanted."
Rohnert Park Carjacker Captured with Large Stock of Guns and Ammo
A man who carjacked another man at gunpoint in Rohnert Park Monday afternoon was captured a few hours later and police seized rifles and a large stock of ammo in his possession, police said.
The carjacking was reported at about 4:30 p.m. when the suspect followed a man out of the UPS Store in Mountain Shadows Plaza on Golf Course Drive and pulled a gun on him when he got into his car, according to the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety.
The suspect got into the passenger seat and at gunpoint demanded the victim drive him to the nearest church.
They drove to St. Elizabeth Seton, discovered no one was there, and then drove back to Mountain Shadows Plaza.
The man got out of the car, threatening the victim, and went back to the truck he had been driving and took several rifles out of the truck and put them in the victim's vehicle, police said.
The victim managed to get away and the suspect took off west on Golf Course Drive in the victim's car.
The man was identified with a flyer from San Francisco police as Jeffery Boyce and was confirmed by the victim.
Boyce had been reported as mentally ill and in possession of firearms.
Other law enforcement agencies in the area were alerted about the carjacking, while Rohnert Park police searched Boyce's truck and found several hundred bullets, six 30-round magazines, a load-bearing vest and a loaded rifle.
The Central Marin Police Authority received a call reporting an attempted carjacking at 6:51 p.m., where a suspect pointed a rifle at a woman's head.
He ran away, and police found him nearby and identified him as Boyce.
Police found the original victim's car nearby with several guns inside.
Anyone with information about the case has been asked to call Rohnert Park police at (707) 584-2630.
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier Organizes Gun Violence Summit
Hundreds of leaders in education, law enforcement, politics and mental health services gathered in Redwood Shores Monday for a summit organized by U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier on preventing gun violence in San Mateo County schools.
Speier said the main motivation behind the forum, called "Beyond Newtown: How To Ensure Safe Schools and Communities," was to bring together important community stakeholders to discuss various approaches to preventing and responding to incidents of mass violence in schools.
"If we want safe schools and safe communities, we have to be willing to work together," Speier said.
Speakers addressed a wide range of subjects, including mental health issues among students, school culture, sharing records between schools to better track students with behavior issues, and promoting student-led anti-bullying campaigns.
Speier said that taking a close look at incidents of school shootings like in Newtown, Conn.
where 26 people were killed, and at Virginia Tech, where a mentally ill shooter killed 32 people, there were warning signs from the shooters that were missed or ignored by people in their communities.
"More often than not, when you go back and look at these cases, there were missed clues," Speier said.
"We need to locate these gaps in information sharing," she said. According to Jei Africa, a health equity manager for San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, identifying students who might be ostracized or in distress is a complex process, one that needs to involve school staff, the student body, as well as parents and families.
"We feel it's important to teach parents the warning signs that something is going on in their family," Africa said.
Young people who become isolated, spend a lot of time in their rooms or start performing poorly in school are often in need of some sort of intervention, whether it be counseling, guidance or special education, she said.
Stephen Kaplan, the Director of San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, said that detecting students in distress is complicated by the Internet, where intense bullying is prevalent and often anonymous.
On the Internet and in social networks like Facebook, students can easily become victims of bullying or verbal harassment that includes "rumors, lies and sexual jokes," Kaplan said.
Victims of harassment often become depressed and feel hopeless, Kaplan said.
Identifying those individuals and getting them help is critical to keeping students and schools safe.
"The importance of identifying them is critical," he said.
"The earlier we can intervene, the better."
Santa Rosa Man Faces Murder Charges for Killing His Father
A Sonoma County prosecutor Monday morning graphically described how Houston Herczog allegedly killed his father in their Santa Rosa home.
Herczog, 21, stabbed his 63-year-old father Mark Herczog dozens of times, then fractured his father's skull with a guitar amplifier, Deputy District Attorney Robert Waner told the six men and nine women on the Sonoma County Superior Court jury.
"What he did to his dad is one thing only. It's murder," Waner said.
When police arrived at 5025 Parkhurst Drive in Rincon Valley minutes later, Herczog told them, "I killed him," Waner said.
In her opening statement, Deputy Public Defender Karen Silver said a doctor who examined Herczog will testify her client suffered from paranoid schizophrenia characterized by visual and auditory delusions.
Silver said Herczog's mental state deteriorated during the three years before the Nov. 21, 2011, murder.
She told the panel Mark Herczog's death was not a premeditated murder.
"It's something else," Silver said.
Herczog has pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity.
If the jury convicts Herczog of murder, it will then consider whether Herczog was insane at the time.
Waner said Herczog's younger sister Savannah was awakened in her bedroom around 1:25 a.m. that morning by her father's death cries, "Please don't. Stop please. Don't, you're killing me," that were coming from the kitchen.
"The evidence will show what happened in the kitchen," Waner said.
Waner played a recording of the 911 call Savannah Herczog made to police.
It is difficult to understand what Herczog's distraught sister said to police, and jurors were provided a written transcript of the call.
Herczog, his hair and clothing disheveled, looked down at the defense table during the opening statements and early testimony Monday morning.
Waner said the prosecution's case is expected to take two days.
San Mateo County Library Host "Ditch Your Device Week"
The San Mateo County Library will host its first "Ditch Your Device Week" beginning Monday to encourage children to turn off their electronic devices and spend time with their family and friends, a library manager said.
Throughout the week, all 12 San Mateo County Library branches will be hosting events with an emphasis on removing children from the glowing screens of televisions, computers, phones, and other electronic entertainment devices, SMCL Library Services Manager Anna Koch said.
"Ditch Your Device Week" runs from Monday until May 6 and is part of the national campaign for Screen Free Week, which is presented by the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood.
The event has been nationwide since 1996, according to its website.
The events range from dance programs to story times to art projects.
Among the events is a performance from children's songwriter Randy Kaplan at the Brisbane branch at 250 Visitacion Ave. on Thursday at 4:30 p.m.
There is also going to be a session for parents called "Media Technology and Early Childhood Development," which will discuss how to monitor children's amount of time using electronic devices and encourage parents to increase their personal interaction with them, Koch said.
A full list of the events can be found at www.smcl.org.
San Francisco Police Officer Hospitalied After Being Run Over by Suspect
A San Francisco police officer was hospitalized after his leg was run over by a suspect who fled from a traffic stop in the city's Bayview District early Sunday morning, a police spokesman said Monday.
The incident was reported at 4:24 a.m. Sunday near Hudson Avenue and Whitney Young Circle.
The officer pulled over a car and when he approached the driver, the suspect put the car into gear and tried to flee, police spokesman Officer Carlos Manfredi said.
The officer was dragged a short distance by the car and one of his legs was run over by the vehicle before the suspect drove away, Manfredi said.
Investigators were not releasing many details about the suspect Monday afternoon except that they know who he is, Manfredi said.
The officer who was run over was taken to San Francisco General Hospital to be treated for his injuries and was released later Sunday morning, according to Manfredi.
Teenager Rescued After Falling into World War II Bunker in Marin Headlands
A teenager was rescued after he fell nearly 30 feet into a World War II bunker in the Marin Headlands on Sunday morning, a fire paramedic said.
The Southern Marin Fire Prevention District received a report of a teenager having fallen into the bunker at the top of Conzelman Road at 10:30 a.m., district paramedic Larry Yoell said.
An unknown number of people were near a sealed shaft when the teenager fell into it and dropped approximately 30 feet into the bunker, Yoell said.
Upon arrival, rescue crews had two ways to reaching the teenager.
The first required the rescuers going down the same shaft and pulling the teenager up.
The other was to cut through an iron door, which sealed a larger entrance into the bunker, Yoell said.
The rescue crews chose to cut through the door and once inside found a large concrete hallway.
The bunker was originally built to store weapons, Yoell said.
They found the teenager with minor injuries, including a possible broken arm and wrist injury, Yoell said.
It took 30 to 40 minutes to reach the teenager.

We are use to Tex-Mex and Southwest spices which made the food bland. It was good but bland.
Eat some place else if from the southwest or Texas.
This happens to be the worst Mexican food I have ever had in my life. It is not only tasteless and bland, they do not even make an ttempt to upgrade or improve in their cirrca 1979 offerings. I actually was going to send my food back, but instead ate a few bites of everything to sample and each time...
Hmmmm... One star or two? Let me see...
* Below average food
* Reasonable service
* Appalling seating and decor
Okay, one star is just fine. I've eaten here intentionally once in 35 years. The other three times I've been, I've done so because others were going and invited me. Some things you do things for family and friends that...
Been eating at San Martin for many years. Sometimes excellent and sometimes pretty basic/standard. Their chips and salsa have always been good. Today the food was just average. prices remain good.
Basic Mexican fare but done well, along with reasonable prices. I ordered their shrimp enchilada special, which came with lots of shrimp, not just a little as you might get elsewhere.
I have been eating at Cafe San Martin for my whole life (off and on) as it seems to be good at times, and not so good at other times. This last time was for a birthday dinner, at the request of the birthday girl. The server was great, but the place was VERY dirty, and the food mediocre at...
If your looking to get a healthier meal try a chicken or bean tostada with no cheese. They use white chicken breast meat . Not dark noby gristle like some of the other resturants do(YUCK). My daughter loves the tamales, husband loves the chili rellenos, son love the chicken tacos. Taco tuesdays are a blast. Great prices! They need a...
I love the chicken mole. I order it at the to go window and the only down fall is the price changes depending on who takes my order. Sometimes its $9.98 and sometimes it's $11.01. Since I don't speak spanish it's impossible to get an explanation.
Came here a lot as a kid and always had taquitos or shredded beef tacos. Always wondered why dinner took so long -- it was because parents were waiting for slow-cooked chili verde to be ready. Now I know to do the same, or if in a hurry get some taquitos and an order if chili colorado.
This is where I go to run into old friends. No tourist clientelle, just locals looking for good mexican food. San Martin has been around since the 40's and is nothing to look at from the street but has wonderful food. It changed hands and is as good now as every.

Wellington, Sept 21 : About 100 Aucklanders have been fooled after they were lured to Albert Park in New Zealand who were promised that 10,000 dollars would drop from the sky, but were sorely disappointed to find it to be a trick.
A Twitter profile was created to dupe Aucklanders into thinking cash would be dropped in the central city.
According to stuff. co. nz, the GoodMoneyBad tweeter also gave hints of the whereabouts of the money.
Around 100 people decoded clues and photos to find the location of the scam money at the Albert Park.
Students from Auckland University waited for at least half an hour for the money to fall, but were disappointed.
An architecture student Georgia Conway was hoping to pay his student loan from the cash.
''''I was hoping to start paying off my student loan,'''' he said.
According to the report, the Twitter profile said after the stunt: "I''m just showing New Zealand how easy it is to claim a teaser campaign as your own". (ANI)

When I think of terrorism, Rachael Ray is probably one of the last people who comes to mind. But hey, that's just me. CNN reports that Dunkin' Donuts recently pulled an ad after complaints that the scarf she was wearing resembled a traditional Arab headdress.
The coffee and baked goods chain said the ad that began appearing online May 7 was pulled over the past weekend because "the possibility of misperception detracted from its original intention to promote our iced coffee."
I wonder what Mrs. Ray thinks about all of this? I'm guessing it's not "Yum-o!"

2007 Volkswagen New Beetle 2.5 2dr Convertible (2.5L 5cyl 6A)
I love my car. I previously owned an Explorer, and the two are difficult to compare. The only thing I miss about my Explorer is the storage space, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much can fit in a Beetle. I don't understand why people complain about the gas mileage, I think it's great but then my Explorer did have a V8 engine. Beetles are fun cars to drive, the sound system is great, and it works perfectly as a commuter car.

2007 Volkswagen New Beetle 2.5 2dr Hatchback (2.5L 5cyl 6A)
A car is supposed to be a reliable transportartion and reliable it is not. Too many trips to the service department, too many recalls, too many service lights coming on worrying me about even more problems. I see likewise frustrated people at the service counter everytime I come in. I'm charged an arm and a leg every time, without a guarantee that the fix will work. A 10 year old KIA has had no problems. I got too excited about aesthetics of it. But the features don't work and have to be repeatedly fixed. If only I read more reviews of long-term owners. Never another VW again. They are nice when on the dealer lot, but in reality too much trouble.

2007 Volkswagen New Beetle 2.5 PZEV 2dr Hatchback (2.5L 5cyl 5M)
This is my first foreign car and now I get it. This car is quite impressive all around. I love this car. It is comfortable, enjoyable, affordable, even if the gas mileage isn't stellar. It sure beats my old 2006 PT Cruiser which was getting 17 mpg city. You can't help but smile when driving the Beetle. It sticks to the road and is very quick and I feel extremely safe in it even though it is a small car. Don't over think and criticize the back seat. It is more than enough. So the head room isn't excessive, I have had 4 door sedans that were just as bad. Enjoy the ride.

2007 Volkswagen New Beetle 2.5 2dr Convertible (2.5L 5cyl 6A)
I have had the Beetle convertible for about 1 year (not driving it in the winter months). I totally love it. It is fun, reliable and has enough pep for me. I was surprised by the amount of room in the trunk, as I expected virtually nothing. Just really really pleased. I do miss a change holder, as there is no easy place to put a few dollars.

2007 Volkswagen New Beetle 2.5 2dr Hatchback (2.5L 5cyl 5M)
Having owned another Beetle and a Jetta before this, I have come to realize that VWs on average have a shelf life of about 4 years, then it's time to trade it in! Despite the frustrations that come with being a VW owner, I keep coming back over and over. Why? The handling - the driving experience. There are so few cars on the market, in my opinion, that combine compactness and great handling. Having driven other compact makes, I find that the Beetle is heavier, handles better, has better features and more road presence. While other compacts feel like they are likely to get blown off the road in a high wind, the Beetle tends to clutch the road and hold its own in snow, rain, etc.

2007 Volkswagen New Beetle 2.5 PZEV 2dr Hatchback (2.5L 5cyl 6A)
I sold my red 99 Beetle last summer. I was missing it terribly! Last month I bought a new 07, yellow this time. I'm so happy to have a Beetle again. It's easy to park, fun to drive, cleans up nicely and compared to my pick-up truck and Jaguar, economical to keep the tank full. These are cute little cars. I enjoyed my last one and still see it around town. (It's much loved and still looks great.) I know that if the day comes that I must part with this one, it will also find the right person to love it. In the 99 I don't miss the old cup holders or cloth/fabric seats. The 07 has leather, better cup holders and a much needed arm rest. Old one was manual, this one is automatic, no opinion.

I have the 5-speed, and do enjoy the car's drive and handling. 150HP is plenty in car this size, and I have no complaints about acceleration (Go Bug, Go!). The ABS braking system and anti-skid functions seem to work well. I had several opportunities to drive it in the snow this year, and it seemed to handle that challenge quite well. Though it presents some restrictions, I do appreciate the Bug's styling, as it sets it apart from other cars its size,

---- —
Zoning changes along Interstate 65 north from Lebanon aren't intended to attract commercial, industrial or residential development to the area, said Rachel Cardis, executive director of the Area Plan Commission.
She and county attorney Bob Clutter have for about seven months been drafting wording for an "overlay district" that would supplement the county's 1998 comprehensive plan. Updated in 2011, the plan specifies what can and cannot be built in areas under the county's jurisdiction.
The overlay district is on the plan commission's agenda when it meets at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 7, in the Boone County Annex, 116 W. Washington St., Lebanon.
Several people who are concerned new regulations would adversely affect farmers are expected to attend the meeting, Cardis said.
If the plan commission adopts the overlay plan, the Boone County Commissioners would have 90 days after being notified of that decision to vote on an ordinance establishing the district.
An overlay district adds additional controls to zoning regulations. An overlay was approved in 2004 for I-65 south of Lebanon, primarily to govern development on the west side of the interstate.
The proposed Interstate 65 North overlay is an effort to be proactive, Cardis said.

these are awsome!! sound right at home in a metal band. but these are definitly not limited to strictly metal, their medium to low pitched sound makes them incredibly versatle! they have the perfect volume too, not too loud not too quiet either. beware though... they mark up easily if you play on the top with the tips of your sticks and are extremly prone to finger prints. nothing a little cymbal cleaner cant fix! all in all great cymbal, definitly worth the money. they will last a lifetime!5 of 7 people found this review helpful.Was this review helpful?Thank You for rating this review!

Record figures were achieved from 115 lots at the Gold Crown Yearling Sale at Bathurst last weekend. Sale organiser Graeme Board said it was the best sale he has been involved with. "I've been doing the sale at Bathurst for nearly 20 years and this is by far the best I have seen," said Board. "Everyone wanted to be a part of the action and the results are great for the future of harness racing." Yearling colt sales hit an average price of $9,000 while the fillies were close to the $7,000 mark. The sale turned over just shy of $1 million, a significant increase on 2013. The top price lot was a for Sportswriter-Sixteen Carat colt purchased by Emilio Rosati for $34,000, while Pat Bourke purchased a Courage Under Fire-Lombo Silhouette colt for $27,000. Bred by Laurie and Gwen Paton, the sale-topping colt is out of the 1:55.5 Menangle winner Sixteen Carat, a Blissfull Hall mare. Rosati also shelled $27,000 for the Rocknroll Hanover-Counterfeit Chic colt and $25,000 for the American Ideal-Superstar Lady filly, the top-priced filly at the sale. Other lots to fetch $20,000 or more were the Courage Under Fire-Pleasure Machine colt at $21,500 and the Rock N Roll Heaven-So Savvy colt and the Art Colony-Jillette colt both at $20,000.

CAMPBELLVILLE, August 9 - It was a milestone night on Friday evening at Mohawk. After driver Jody Jamieson celebrated $100-million in career earnings as a driver in race two, trainer Casie Coleman notched her 2,000th win later on the card in race ten. Coleman's Beat The Drum got under the wire first in a condition event for driver Scott Zeron in 1:53 to reach the 2,000 win plateau. Coleman, a resident of Cambridge, has been named Canada's Trainer of the Year five times and has career earnings approaching $45 million as a trainer. "When I first came to Ontario, I never dreamed I'd win 1,000 races lifetime let alone 2,000 at my age," Coleman said. "It's pretty surreal to think that my team and I have accomplished this. It's just a great feeling." The 33-year-old's top horses in recent years include North America Cup winner Sportswriter, Breeders Crown winner Betterthancheddar, Little Brown Jug winner Michaels Power, American Ideal, Art Colony, Idyllic and Moving Pictures, just to name a few. by Greg Gangle
Winbak Farm's foaling season begins with the start of the new year. From January to June, Winbak Farm is expected to welcome close to 400 foals. The first to come is always highly anticipated by all of the employees and harness racing associates of the farm.
The Artsplace horse Stonebridge Regal (1:48.2), who has shuttled between Canada and New South Wales and New Zealand for the last three years, is to stand his first harness racing season in Victoria at the Loddon Valley stud, Lockwood, near Bendigo, of one of Australia's leading studmasters John Campbell.
Winbak Farm is sad to announce the passing of Art Colony, p, 2, 1:51s ($762,840), owned by Tom Hill of Great Britain. With his first crop on the ground, the six-year-old harness racing stallion was in the middle of his second breeding season.
Winbak Farm of Ontario is proud to announce that its harness racing stallions on their 2012 roster have all arrived. Winbak Farm will be standing 11 stallions in 2012, including 5 millionaires. We are proud to welcome two new stallions to its lineup this year, along with welcoming back three pacing stallions returning from the southern hemisphere.

"Roman Candle" turns 20: Secrets of Elliott Smith's accidental masterpiece (slideshow)
Elliott and the friends with whom he recorded in middle school in Texas (photo courtesy of Dan Pickering)
Topics: Sustainable food, Food, Life News
The New York Times' Opinion pages welcomed a new columnist today, and he's … a food writer. We can save the discussion for what this means for our national dialogue on food for later; right now, I want to point you to Mark Bittman and his inaugural column, titled no less ambitiously than "A Food Manifesto for the Future." It's a nine-point plan to save us from our fast, cheap and out-of-control eating selves, and he might be the perfect person to write it.
A few years ago, Bittman was in a TV commercial. Goofy words flashed on the screen: "BIG DEAL FOOD WRITER" and under them, the man who normally exudes an utterly casual confidence looked nonplussed. They had him leaning in a weird way, a way that was supposed to suggest a level of informality, but only made him look, unfortunately, like he couldn't stand up straight while he was singing the praises of the product.
What I'm saying is that the man who spent a dozen years writing a wildly popular column called "The Minimalist" is visibly uncomfortable with bull. His great talent is to make good cooking and good food seem totally natural, totally simple and totally understandable. ("The Minimalist" is still my girlfriend's all-time favorite food column. Ahem.) But I don't begrudge him the success; no one else I can think of can pull off a newspaper story — a newspaper story, not a book — called "101 meals ready in 10 minutes" and have it make sense, let alone read well and taste great. True to the column's name, he boils down cooking to its minimal essentials. He reduces without dumbing down.
And now he takes that sensibility to talking about the absurdly complicated world of food production and policy. Today's piece doesn't present startlingly original analysis and insight, but rather lays out pretty much everything that food policy geeks have been talking about for years … in 818 eminently sensible words. Like this:
Break up the U.S. Department of Agriculture and empower the Food and Drug Administration. Currently, the U.S.D.A. counts among its missions both expanding markets for agricultural products (like corn and soy!) and providing nutrition education. These goals are at odds with each other; you can't sell garbage while telling people not to eat it, and we need an agency devoted to encouraging sane eating. Meanwhile, the F.D.A. must be given expanded powers to ensure the safety of our food supply. (Food-related deaths are far more common than those resulting from terrorism, yet the F.D.A.'s budget is about one-fifteenth that of Homeland Security.)
Boom! Cue the common-sense revolution! Give it a good read, and let me know what you think in the comments.

what a joke
wanting to buy something that was only available online I checked different items and found one we liked. It had a delivery or pick up date of 8-8-14 so we added it to our cart. proceed to check out and the pick up date changed to 8-28-14. I contacted customer service where I was told that if I wanted it sooner I could pay for it but the free shipping would take the time posted on the check out page. So let me get this straight, the item is available, I have to wait 3 weeks for it if I want free shipping or I can have it in 3-5 days if I want to pay for shipping. why not just offer it in stores . looks like I will have to find it elsewhere
