Western Asset Management is giving thought to dropping out of the U.S. Treasury Department's Public-Private Investment Program.
A partnership between Western and RLJ Cos. was among nine management groups selected by the Treasury in July to set up funds that would use a combination of private-sector capital and government money to buy devalued mortgage securities that have been clogging up banks' balance sheets. But fund-raising efforts have proven harder than expected, causing Western to sour on the effort.
The Treasury program offers to quadruple the buying power of PPIP managers who raise at least $500 million from private-sector investors. So far, six of the groups have hit that threshold. It's unknown how much Western and RLJ have collected, but they're clearly below the minimum.
RLJ's stance is unclear. The two other managers that have yet to clear the half-billion-dollar mark, Marathon Asset Management and Oaktree Capital, each expect to hit their targets soon.
While the capital-raising efforts were initially expected to be a breeze, a combination of factors has dampened investor demand. For starters, prospective backers of PPIP funds are wary of working so closely with the government out of fears that political pressures might cause the rules to change or that participants might be subject to added scrutiny.
Another factor: The managers were initially promising annual returns in the neighborhood of 20%. But as mortgage-bond prices have risen in recent months, in part as non-PPIP buyers snapped up securities in anticipation of the program's launch, yield projections have fallen to about 12%. That's not enough to entice most investors, and it especially looks like a turnoff given the eight-year lockups that PPIP managers enforce on shareholders. Several other types of funds are promising similar returns in five years or less.
On the other hand, many industry players think mortgage-bond prices are bound to fall again, as the current rally has been driven more by enthusiasm over PPIP than improvements in the underlying collateral. "There's still a lot of pain out there," one source said.
Western might also have been hindered by past run-ins with pension systems, a group of investors that have accounted for a large portion of backing for other managers' PPIP funds. Indeed, a number of pensions, including Calpers and Fresno County Employees, have expressed disdain over lower-than-expected returns on various accounts with Western in recent years. And Contra Costa County Public Employees went a step further last year by removing the Pasadena, Calif., firm from a $150 million investment mandate.
The firms that have reached the Treasury's capital-raising minimum also encountered difficulties, and some had to prop up their efforts with contributions from other funds they run. Meanwhile, some of the managers that haven't qualified for matching Treasury support yet have been trying to entice backers by offering them co-management roles.
The latest management group to hit the Treasury's fund-raising threshold was a partnership between Angelo Gordon & Co., GE Capital Real Estate, CastleOak Securities and Park Madison Partners. They made the cut Oct. 30.
In the preceding months, five other PPIP groups raised about $3.6 billion of private-sector equity, which has been matched dollar-for-dollar by the Treasury. The government has also thrown in $7.2 billion of debt financing. Those groups are: AllianceBernstein, working with advisors Greenfield Partners and Rialto Capital; BlackRock; Invesco; TCW; and Wellington Management. The first of those shops started investing about two weeks ago, which was nearly two months later than initially expected.

Cooking Class: Say cheesecake
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
05/23/2012 19:46
Easier said than done, baking a good dairy dessert takes time and effort; but the results are richly rewarding.
Photo: Daniel Layla
Baking a cheesecake is not an easy task for beginner bakers, and the following recipes require quite a few steps. But if you follow the directions to the letter, the results will be well worth the effort.
Ingredients for a round 26-cm. baking pan
For the pastry shell
✔ 50 gr. cold butter, cubed
✔ 3 egg yolks
✔ 1⁄4 cup (50 gr.) sugar
✔ 1 tsp. baking powder
✔ 11⁄4 cups (175 gr.) flour For the cheese filling
✔ 5 eggs, separated
✔ 11⁄2 cups (300 gr.) sugar
✔ 1 sachet vanilla sugar
✔ 750 gr. 9% fat white cheese
✔ 4 Tbsp. (40 gr.) cornstarch
✔ 4 Tbsp. (40 gr.) vanilla instant pudding powder
For the ganache topping
✔ 1⁄4 cup cream (60 ml.)
✔ 75 gr. bitter chocolate
Heat the oven to 180º. Place butter, egg yolks, sugar and baking powder in a food processor. Using the metal blade, whizz in short pulses until mixture is smooth. Add flour and combine with 3-4 pulses. Stop when pastry begins to form. Remove from food processor and form a ball. If the pastry is too wet, add a little flour. If it is too dry, add up to 1 Tbsp. water. Flatten the pastry in the bottom of the baking pan and bake 12 minutes, until it begins to color.
Turn heat down to 160º.
In a mixer bowl, beat together egg whites and 1 cup sugar until foam is stiff. Mix the egg yolks in with the rest of the sugar, vanilla sugar, cheese, cornstarch and pudding powder. Gently fold 1⁄3 of the stiff egg whites into the cheese mixture. Mix, then pour the cheese mixture into the foam and fold until combined.
Pour the mixture into the baked pastry shell, smooth top and bake for 35 minutes, until golden on top and almost firm. Turn the heat off but leave the cake to cool in the oven for about three hours. The cake stays a little wobbly. The cake rises during baking and drops a little when cooled.
Remove from oven when completely cooled and place in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours until very cold.
Heat cream in pot until almost boiling. Remove from heat and add chocolate. Mix until chocolate melts.
Remove cake from refrigerator and, with moist palms, smooth the top of the cake so there are no cracks. Pour topping on the cake and let stabilize in the refrigerator for 1 hour. The cake keeps in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and can also be frozen.
This rich, impressive torte is perfect not only for Shavuot.
Start with two 26-cm. torte bases. These can be purchased ready-made at most supermarkets or baked according to your favorite recipe. The cake has two layers – a cheese filling and a topping made of dark chocolate ganache and white chocolate cream.
✔ 200 ml. cream
✔ 240 gr. chocolate
Heat cream until almost boiling. Remove from heat and melt chocolate, stirring until smooth.
White chocolate cream
✔ 400 ml. cream
✔ 260 gr. white chocolate
Heat cream until almost boiling. Remove from heat and melt chocolate, stirring until smooth. Chill both overnight.
Cheese filling
✔ 300 ml. cream
✔ 3/4 cup (75 gr.) sugar
✔ 300 gr. white 9% cheese
✔ 20 gr. instant vanilla pudding powder
✔ 1 Tbsp. brandy
Mix all ingredients. Place one cake base in a 26-cm. round springform pan. Spread 50 gr. of the ganache in an even layer and then 1⁄2 of the cheese mixture on top. Place the second cake base and spread another 50 gr. of the ganache on it.
Whip 3/4 of the chilled white chocolate cream. Mix the whipped chocolate with the rest of the cheese mixture and pour on top of the dark chocolate layer. Place the cake pan in the freezer.
To finish the cake: The next day, decorate the cake with stripes of remaining dark and white chocolate ganaches.
For a 27 x 33-cm. baking pan
We all love cheesecake, but those who cannot (or should not) eat gluten should not be left out. Here is a recipe for a rich four-layer chocolate-cheesecake that everyone will love.
Pastry base
✔ 1⁄2 cup (100 gr.) sugar
✔ 100 gr. cold butter, cubed
✔ 2 egg yolks
✔ 250 gr. potato flour
✔ 30 gr. walnuts, ground
✔ 1 tsp. baking powder
Crumb layer
✔ 140 gr. (1 cup) potato flour
✔ 1⁄2 tsp. baking powder
✔ 50 gr. (1⁄4 cup) sugar
✔ 25 gr. (2 Tbsp.) brown sugar
✔ 25 gr. cold butter, cubed
✔ 1 egg yolk Brownie layer
✔ 200 gr. butter
✔ 1 cup (200 gr. sugar)
✔ 200 gr. bitter chocolate
✔ 4 eggs
✔ 1 tsp. vanilla extract
✔ 3⁄4 cup potato flour
✔ 1⁄2 tsp. (2 gr.) baking powder
✔ Pinch salt
Cheese-white chocolate layer
✔ 1⁄4 cup (60 ml.) milk
✔ 150 gr. white chocolate
✔ 375 gr. white 9% cheese
✔ 1⁄3 cup (65 gr.) sugar
✔ 3 eggs
✔ 2 heaping Tbsp. (25 gr.) potato flour
Heat the oven to 180º.
To prepare pastry: In a mixer using the kneading attachment, mix butter, yolks and sugar until creamy. Add potato flour and baking powder and mix only until smooth. Add ground nuts and mix briefly.
With your hands, spread the pastry on the bottom of a lined baking pan. Stab the pastry with a fork. Bake about 10 minutes, until pastry begins to turn golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
To prepare crumb pastry: Mix all the ingredients together in a food processor, using the metal blade, until smooth. Spread thinly in a lined baking sheet and bake 15 minutes at 180º until pastry begins to color. Remove from oven and turn heat down to 160º. This can be done simultaneously with baking the pastry base. When cool, crumble and set aside.
To prepare chocolate brownie layer: Place butter and sugar in a small pot and melt over low heat. Remove from heat and add chocolate. Stir well until chocolate is melted and mixture smooth. Pour into a large bowl and add eggs and vanilla. Beat until smooth, then add flour, baking powder and salt and continue mixing until mixture is smooth and shiny. Spread chocolate brownie layer over the baked pastry, cover with plastic foil and place in the freezer until the cheese mixture is ready.
To prepare cheese layer: Boil milk in a small pot. Remove from heat, add white chocolate and mix until it melts. Place cheese, sugar and eggs in a bowl and beat together. Add white chocolate mixture and stir. Mix in the potato flour until smooth.
Take the cake out of the freezer and gently spread the white mixture over the chocolate layer. Bake 30 minutes in a 160º oven. Take the cake out but do not switch oven off.
Immediately after taking the cake out, spread the crumbs evenly over the cheese layer and return into the oven for 20 minutes more.
Cool the cake and place in the refrigerator for two hours to make cutting easier.
Cut into squares and keep refrigerated in an airtight container until serving.

A young Arlington pastor was found dead in his church .
Clint Dobson, grew up in Clear Lake. Dobson and his family have been members of University Baptist Church for more than 20 years.
Today, associate pastor, Rick Carpenter, remembered the young man who interned at the church in 2005 and 2006.
"He was the kind of guy that everybody likes. He really was. I know we always say that but he really was the kind of guy that everybody likes. He was fun to be around. He cared about people deeply," he said.
Carpenter said the 29-year-old became an outstanding preacher and focused on helping at-risk children. Dobson attended Baylor and that's where he first felt the calling to serve God.
Two years ago, Dobson moved to Arlington and served NorthPointe Baptist Church as a pastor. Clint and his wife, Laura, lived on the north side of town.
Now congregations at two churches are left to ask why. Pastor Carpenter said the answers may be tough to find, but their faith remains unwavering.
"I talked with Clint's mother this morning. Her strength remains strong. Her faith is in God, just like Clint's was."
University Baptist Church wants to honor Clint this weekend, but they're not sure right now exactly what they plan to do. They are hoping to hear more from Clint's parents who are in Arlington right now.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell came to Cincinnati for discussions with Mike Brown regarding the disenchantment with the CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement), to discuss with players about personal conduct and to visit the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.
I found it interesting what Henry said after the commissioner addressed the players:
"It's a blessing. It's one of the best jobs you can have. I've been thinking a lot about how lucky I am and how many people would love to be in my shoes."
Palmer was impressed with the new commish:

2.35/5 rDev -25.2%
A: Near black with an absolutely huge cocoa-brown head--pretty sudsy and decent carbonation
S: Pretty sweet--cloyingly sweet actually; lots of chocolate with some anise and dark fruits; a touch of roasty malts but man, this is sweet--I am curious as to if something is wrong with this beer
T: Yep, something is off with this beer; it has to be infected; it starts with cloyingly sweet chocolate but then something reminiscent of tomatoes, olives, and soy sauce; some anise and dark fruits linger; but mostly that weird tomato flavor mingling with sweet chocolate; there is something decent somewhere in this but the weirdness of everything else makes this pretty bad
F: pretty thin and over-carbonated
O: Well, this is not what it's supposed to be and I suspect that it is indeed infected; I couldn't do it--I tried but I had to drain pour; I guess that's what I get for my 666th written review. Boo.

The looks isn't promising. It's dark brown but doesn't appear particularly thick; in fact, it looks a little light for anything more than a porter, and not a strong one at that. The off-white head is a bit wispy and maintains a foam that manages spotty lacing pretty much at average.
The smell isn't bad, but it isn't great either. It does have some notes of cocoa, and it dries out some for a bit of woodiness, but it has a touch too much of a charred to the wood/smoke combination. More dryness from leafy hops adds balance, which isn't really kept up after almost overdoing it. Something sharp, tangy and almost acidic threatens as well, though it's kept at bay to a degree.
Somehow this is too tart and sharp while being sugary-sweet to the point of cloying. Someone going for what they thought was balance seems to have overshot it. The notes that make the style what it is are there, but thrown entirely out of whack with too many flaws. Alcohol is reasonably well masked, to its benefit.
Alcohol does play a possible role in thinning out the feel; it achieves a firm medium, much too little body for an imperial stout. It's a tad dry, which is fine, with a bit of spritz but, thankfully, enough smoothness to give something appreciable to the palate.

A- Pours dark and dank with a tight kahki head. Fades quickly and leaves little traces of lacing.
S- Kalamata and Green Olives... perhaps just whisps of dark fruit as I inhale... OMG! I smell salt!
T- Holy Cow! Soy Sauce, salt, and olive brine! This is friggin' awful! Is this beer?
M- The worst thing that's ever passed my lips... no doubt! I'd rather have a beer made from olives, than this olive tapenade mess of a salty brew!
O- I wish I had words to describe just how awful this RIS is!!! I've had RIS' with a touch of soy... but this is soy with a touch of salt and olives!

Extra from coldmeat23. Shared at Edward's birthday party, and served in a wine glass.
A - Quick-dissolving white foam settles to nothing. Dark brown body that is pretty light for 10%.
S - Taste is borderline cloying, with an overt dextrose note, and a mild note of musky funky and sour cherries. Infection? There's no mention of wine barrels on the label. Perhaps some semisweet cocoa as well.
T - The taste is a tad better, with some melted chocolate, and mild roast in the finish, but this still tastes extremely sugary and slightly infected.
M - Low carbonation, medium body, and quite thin for a 10% 'Imperial Stout". Texture is thankfully quite smooth, and alcohol is reasonably well-hidden.
D - Not very good. Just way too many flaws for this to be even mildly enjoyable. I think the half-full bottle sat on the table for the duration of the party. Even those largely ignorant of craft beer knew there was something wrong with this.

Poured into small footed whisky glass. Thanks to drumrboy116 for sharing this.
A - black with hints of black and maybe a little red, not completely opaque but close. Almost no head at all, left some light tan lacing on top and thin halo around the glass.
N - brown sugar, prunes, caramel, coffee, bitter chocolate, port an hints of cinnamon and clove. as it warmed the sour character an the tart cherry/red wine notes became much more prominent.
T - the usual suspects with an imperial stout...bitter chocoalte, coffee, oak and char, some vanilla, roasted malt, cinnamon and a hint of peat smoke...until the finish. Oh my god, red wine or cherries or something. My guess is infection or poert/red wine barrel, or both. Nothing if not interesting. As it warmed the fruit and tartness became more prominent. It's like an imperial stout kriek.
M - thin bodied, lends some validity to the infection theory, but not unpleasantly so. i think my palate associates that body with the acid levels so that I didn't really even think about it being odd. The carbonation is slight but just right for me. And one of the dryest finishes I may have ever had from a beer. Super drying. Moved on to another stout after and the sourness and dryness were stuck in my mouth even fifteen minutes later.
O - I really liked this. Super interesting. Infected or not, it works. I like some sour stouts and this is up there with the good ones i've had. It wasn't nearly as disjointed and all over the place as a lot of Imperial Stouts are fresh. The flavors were unexpected but were cohesive and together to me. I would get more and drink it happily.

Poured into small snifter from a bottle I grabbed in Tulsa. First I've had from this small brewery and I'm pretty excited about Oklahoma's beer offerings as of late.
A- Poured nice and dark. Some hints of amber and red. Not too much lacing. Maybe a 1/4" head.
S- Oak and vanilla but with definite fruit, mostly cherry, notes along with it. As it warmed up, some real nice sourness came through.
T- This is such an interesting beer. While there are some conflicting flavors i.e. vanilla, chocolate, and tart cherry, overall it seems pretty balanced. It finishes very dry with lingering 'red' which makes me guess that it was aged in a wine barrel maybe, cab or pinot. However I do wonder if this batch might have gotten infected in barrel. There must be some bacteria funkin' up this beer....and I love it!
M- Mouthfeel is a tad thin. Another indicator that we might have some infection.
O- I really enjoyed this beer. It isn't often that a beer can flat out surprise you!
Great work Chase and Redbud!

6oz->Zatec Glass
A~ Pours black with intense mocha lacing.
Fine carbonation.
S~ Vanilla & Raisins at first. . dark bread & blueberry
jam. Some Orange/Citrus deep in there. Very ester
driven. Whisper of tobacco.
T~ Chocolate covered raisins, Cherry-skins, wine
Grapes. . Slightly grassy. Campfire/Wood notes become
More prevalent the more I drink, while being only mildly ashy.
Citrus (orange zest & lemon peel) & oak leaves on the finish.
M~ No cloy. . Medium-Thin feel with a great finish that is mildly sour. Cask-like carb. Dry & Clean. Deceptively light in body.
D~ easy easy easy drinking. Almost too easy at 10% I expected a bit more body. Alas this was still a great Night's end drink that well with dark chocolate truffles. Keep I mind this is not your typical Imperial Stout, aside from the ABV. One of a kind.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle into a tulip glass. Very dark brown/black with a two finger beige head. Nice lacing. Looks like an imperial stout.
Doesn't smell like an imperial stout. Yeasty? Sweet, fruity, maybe carob. No coffee or chocolate. No alcohol.
The taste is surprising. No stout taste at all. Kind of a slightly bitter Tripel. I like it but it's very surprising. No alcohol taste or smell but it sneaks up on you.
Mouthfeel is not like a stout. More like a Belgian or something else.
Overall I like it but it's not a stout.

Pours an effervescent mahogany with 3+ fingers mocha colored head. Great lacing & good head retention
S: Cocoa, carob & woody hop notes & finally tartness
T: Figgyness, some woody hops, plus dryness up front. Powdery dry notes as this warms, along with prunes, plus a hint of smokeyness & oak once warm, a hint of port as well; lust no classic Imp stout maltynesss, chocolate or anything else that would would serve the cause here, sigh, choke cherry & watered down prune as well. Finishes very dry, with some smokey notes, brett sourness surfaces finally to release some raspberry & cherry. Just dis-jointed at best. Seems like a Dark Truth light
MF: Semi-chewy with firm carbonation, pretty dry & some thickness once really warm
Disappointing, this brewery does a great job with their Cuvee series. This has missed the mark. I had very high hopes. I have another bottle I will sit on for a least a year, sure wouldn't give or trade it at this point unless I had someone sign a release or something....

Big thanks to ThirstyHerf for this bottle!
Pours stout dark. There's a nice modest close to a finger of light brown creamy head that leaves a nice little lace trail. The aroma, while not in your face, is very nice and pleasant. There's some initial slight floral hoppiness, followed by some chocolate and cocoa notes. There's a slight bit of bitterness at the front of the tongue, with a fainter chocolate note than with the aroma. It moves then to something a bit more borderline tart and acidic. I'm not sure if this was wood-aged and/or intentionally bugged a bit, but I feel it's a possibility. The mouthfeel is middle of the road, thinish for the style. Overall, it's not bad, but I will personally prefer to stick to their Saison's.

Looks the part - nearly black with some ruby as light passes through. Mocha colored swamp bubbles form the short-lived head. After appearance, this one goes steeply downhill. Something is off big time. Pieces of the Imperial Stout puzzle are present but disjointed - some coffee, chocolate, and smokey char. Problem is there is some odd acetic character like red wine vinegar, blech. Aluminum too? Like I said, something is wrong here. The ultra thin and empty mouthfeel puts it even further away from even average examples of the style.
I don't mind drinking the occasional bad beer. It happens every now and then given the wealth of new breweries and beers that pop up these days. What I do mind is dropping $11.99 on a 750mL bottle and pouring 500mL of it down the sink.

A- poured into a snifter. Black, little head, and watery looking. No lacing as the drink goes down.
S- Not bad. Virtually no roast at all though. Lots of chocolate and vanilla. Bit of wood.
T- chocolate and a surprising tartness out of nowhere. No alcohol to speak of at 10%. But still, it's rather one or two dimensional. Not complex at all.
M- watery again. Very thin and carbonation drops off.
O- I just haven't been impressed with anything Redbud has to offer thus far, with exception of Cuvée 3. The Arbor stout is another disappointment on my palate.

Arbor. The newest release from Oklahoma's Smallest Craft brewery. Labeled as an Imperial Stout this one was riding a HUGE wave of Hype surrounding Chase H and The RedBud Crew. I had a chance to sample this beer in various stages of bottle ages. One VERY fresh, another a week after, the other a few weeks after bottling, differences are notable in EACH instance. I will use the latter for the review:
Upon opening you can tell this is a Dark and wonderfully balanced brew. The pour is as you would expect, nice and dark, red hue and chocolate. The nose was very surprising and almost reminiscent of some tart or sour stouts have have had. A few good sniffs then the first drink, as soon as it hits your tongue you can tell this is a great beer. The 10% alcohol is VERY well hidden. You could drink the entire 750 ML and not realize it until it was too late! There is minimal lacing in the glass and slight head retention. For an Imp Stout I was expecting a much heavier mouthfeel. Arbor. is VERY light and extremely sessionable. Hints of bitter dark chocolate and tart cherries come out in loads. Vanilla and toffee notes are light and submissive. The finish is long and slightly dry, no doubt due to the bottle conditioning use of a champagne yeast.
All in all this is an Excellent beer, easy drinking and extremely balanced, although I believe that Mr. Healey was looking for something more in this beer. IMO I think he was looking to knock your socks off, and this was not that beer. It is a great brew, but compaired to some of the other offerings from Redbud, this one lacks a little luster. But, bare in mind, this is RedBud's first attempt at a BIG imperial stout. Everyone has to start somewhere, and I think Mr. Healey hit the nail on the head with this beer. Congrats Chase and to the Redbud Family! Cheers!

1.7/5 rDev -45.9%
A - Very dark brown, almost black with 2 fingers of cocoa foam.
S - Roasted malt, peat moss, vinous dry red wine aromas, woody and a bit smokey. Mushrooms, sharp alcohol vapors,
T - Cola sweetness off the top then sour and earthy. Woody hops provide a bitterness mixed with a metal sourness. It has a smoked but tart soy sauce character. Prunes and tart grapes dry out what little sweet was to begin with. Finishes dry with dark chocolate and currants.
M - Thin side of medium, carbonation drops off after it sets.
This reminds me of a Baltic porter mixed with red wine. The mouthfeel was thin and lackluster. The sour/tart character did not add, but seemed to take away from the collective flavors. Too many off flavors that didn't blend well. Maybe some age would do this good.

Lubbock, TX - The FBI says a man living just two hours from Amarillo was possibly planning a terrorist attack on Texas soil.
The Saudi student is Khalid Alim Aldawsari. He attends South Plains College in Levelland, which is near Lubbock.
The FBI says he spent most of his time in his apartment surfing the internet trying to figure out how to build a bomb.
Documents show Khalid is from Saudi Arabia and was here on a student visa.
He originally started at Texas Tech but administrators there say his grades were too low so he had to transfer about six weeks ago.
Emails the suspect sent to himself say he was thinking about targeting President George W. Bush's house in Dallas or a nuclear facility.

Pretty sure I don't like this idea but Goodell recently talked about the idea of adding two new teams if no teams end up moving to LA/Southern California. In this Yahoo article, Goodell discussed that adding just one team would create scheduling conflicts including having a team off every week of the season.
"We probably don't want to go to 33" teams by adding just one new club if a suitable stadium is built in the Los Angeles area, Goodell said. Instead, the league would consider adding two. An odd number of teams would pose scheduling problems, including at least one club being off each week, and would create one division with five teams.
Further speculation mentioned that LA could house two teams, but logic says this would be a tremendous mistake. LA once had two teams and it ended up costing them both teams. There is still question for many of us if LA can even support one team really.
What I really hope though is that this need for a 34th team doesn't equal a team in London. I think it will be a tremendous burden on the league and players with the extra travel and what that does to the players. Plus, who's going to want to leave the country to play there...most of the players are probably going to want to sign with US based teams. I'd rather see a team in Canada than in London. I think adding teams in general is a poor idea though, the number we are at now is perfect.

Eye pins or head pins
Translucent polymer clay
Beading needle
Size 11 beads in orange and clear
Seed beads in clear and green
Jewelry glue
French earring wires
Sculpey Gloss Glaze
Take a piece of polymer clay and form it into a radish.
Insert the eye pin through the middle, with the eye at the bottom, reshaping the radish as necessary.
Cut a fairly long length of thread and thread it through the beading needle, tying the loose end of the thread around the wire sticking out of your clay.
Push the know down into the clay to bury it.
Thread some of the size 11 orange beads onto the thread.
As you thread beads wrap them around the clay, pressing in really well.
Keep wrapping until you're about ¾" (1.91 cm) from the bottom.
Switch to threading the size 11 clear beads continue wrapping and pressing.
At the point take a clear seed bead and string it on, to sort of act as the point.
Take the needle and push it up through the clay from the point, coming out next to the wire at the top.
Tie that thread to the piece left over from when you tied your thread to the wire.
Bake at 275° F (135° C) for 20 to 25 minutes.
Allow to cool completely.
Apply the Sculpey Gloss Glaze and let dry.
To make the leaves, use this tutorial.
Leave a loop of wire on one end of the leaves and slide it down over the wire sticking out the top of the radish.
Glue the leaves down.
Make a loop with the remaining wire at the top of the radish and attach a french earring wire.

Employee pay, dump trucks key Sanbornton warrant
Polls are open for the annual town election on May 14 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Old Town Hall.
Town Meeting will be held on May 15 at 7 p.m. at Sanbornton Central School.
The selectmen have proposed a $3,776,638 budget. The budget committee has recommended a budget figure of $3,790,452. Last year's approved budget was $3,648.473.
Among the budget items that may draw discussion at the meeting are police salaries and an article dealing with Blackbrook Watershed Protection, said David Nickerson, chairman of the board of selectmen.
Town officials have included a 2.5 percent raise for all town employees in the new budget.
The police department has asked for a higher percentage raise for police in order to keep officers from moving to higher-salaried positions in surrounding towns, Nickerson said.
Article 9 deals with the Blackbrook Watershed. Voters will be asked to approve $38,866 to build least two sediment traps on Kaulback Road, and for water testing of Lake Winnisquam.
If passed, most of the cost would be funded through a grant, but taypayers would have to pay an additional $13,406.
Selectmen have recommended Article 9, which is not recommended by the budget committee.
Article 6 asks voters for $34,000 for the purchase of a new police cruiser and related equipment.
Articles 7 and 8 present options for the acquisition of new town dump truck.
Article 7 calls for a lease/purchase agreement for a 10-wheel dump truck at a cost of $207,500 with a $43,100 first-year payment.
Article 8 offers an alternate plan for a $168,000 six-wheel c

Justice Sec: Prison running costs 'too high'
The Justice Secretary Chris Grayling has explained a decision to move a prison security contract to the public sector:
– Chris Grayling MP
The cost of running our prisons is too high and must be reduced.
That is why I have decided to take a new approach to how we compete prison services and reduce unit costs across the prison estate.
This is a challenge the public sector must rise to. The approach I am announcing today does not rule out further prison-by-prison competitions in the future.

As Ken mentioned in this post last night, the New York Times' Pete Thamel has reported that the Turkish team Kanter played with is claiming they paid more than $100,000 to Kanter and his family, and a "salary" of $6,500/month.
What we have to speculate on here is, "What does this mean for the Kentucky Wildcats?" As you would expect, many people in the sports world have taken an interest in this story and have opined on it, one of whom is Luke Winn from Sports Illustrated. Here is the crux of the biscuit, as Frank Zappa would say:
The NCAA is still reviewing Kanter's case, Kentucky is defending his status as an amateur, and the public has yet to see the financial documentation Fenerbahce says it gave to the NCAA. But if Fenerbahce's claims are legitimate, there's no chance Kanter will play at Kentucky. The key here isn't the $100-150K that Kanter allegedly received, since amateurs in the European system are allowed to receive necessary travel, lodging and food benefits from their clubs and still be eligible in the eyes of the NCAA. What matters is that Kanter, according to Karakas, was paid a salary for his time with Fenerbahce's senior club.
I think this is right. If Kanter indeed took a salary, any salary at all, that makes him a professional, period. It's one thing to have expenses paid, but it is entirely another to take a salary.
Winn goes on to scoff at Fenerbahce's claim of pure motives and trying to do the right thing. From the original Thamel article linked above, Fenerbahce's general manager, Nedim Karakas, made this rather extraordinary claim:
"I am sorry for telling this for Enes, but we cannot lie if someone asks the whole story, we cannot hide," Karakas said.
I don't believe Kanter or anyone else asked Mr. Karakas to lie. The fact is, Karakas has a vested interest in the NCAA turning down Kanter's appeal, to the tune of a six-figure transfer fee. If Kanter is admitted, Fenerbahce gets zero. Karakas is being as false as Marv Albert's brown locks in this comment, and unabashedly so.
Thamel's article goes on to describe how unhappy the leadership of Fenerbahce was about Kanter's decision. I think that's understandable, but before you start pointing the finger at them, recognize that Euro leagues as a whole are rooting against Kanter in this affair. If the NCAA makes an easy path to college for underage "club" players, it could cost them millions of dollars worth of defections to NCAA basketball.
Mike DeCourcy explains for Sporting News:
And in any debate about that issue, it should be hard to trust the word of the club.
The European clubs have obvious motivation to dissuade their best young players from coming here to play. For starters, if somebody's playing in the NCAA Tournament, he can't be playing in the Euroleague. Also, if a young player is under contract to a European club and is ready to try the NBA, the club almost certainly will receive a substantial buyout in return. A 19-year old who wants to leave Kentucky for the draft merely signs a paper declaring that intent. He is free to leave.
That's exactly right. The thing you have to notice here is that the Fenerbahce people failed to provide proof of their claims to Pete Thamel. The reason is fairly clear -- the proof they have very likely does not live up to the standards that they claim it does.
Indeed, DeCourcy goes on to tell us that FIBA rules do not permit teams to enter into contracts with players under 18 years of age, which would include Kanter. If they were paying him a salary, as they claim, I suspect it would be in violation of the rules of their oversight authority in spirit if not the letter. I'm not sure about that, though, but if is against the rules to sign them to a contract, it would seem to be suspect to pay them money described as a "salary." But FIBA's interests lie squarely with Fenerbahce, so I wouldn't expect any help from them on the matter.
The purpose of the Thamel article was clearly to create a public relations problem for Kanter, the NCAA and Kentucky. Evidently, Fenerbahce hopes that by doing so, the NCAA will find enough "complexity" in the matter to declare Kanter a professional. It may or may not work, but keep in mind that the NCAA is an inherently conservative organization, and this rule change was a real departure for them. They may decide that it is wisdom to err on the conservative side of amateurism (a view that I suspect few NCAA coaches or presidents would oppose, particularly when the subject is a Kentucky player), and that hope is clearly revealed in Karakas' disingenuous comments.
What does this mean for Kentucky? Well, obviously it would hurt the team's chances, since Kanter was to be the workhorse in the inside game. If Kanter becomes disqualified by the NCAA, Kentucky will have to rely on Josh Harrellson and Eloy Vargas, both finesse rather than power players like Kanter, to take care of the work inside.
There is no doubt that Kanter's loss would leave Kentucky's team in a much worse roster condition this year, not to mention incredibly thin in the front court. Overall, it would leave the 'Cats with only 10 players on the team, one of them a walk-on guard who was granted a likely one-year deal. But somehow, they will find a way -- the Wildcats always do -- to be as good as they can be.
For those of you who want to harshly criticize Thamel, don't bother. We should not be taking shots at a guy who is trying to earn a living, and reporting on Kentucky, particularly negative reporting, is good for business. His article contained all the relevant facts necessary for a person to recognize the strong conflict of interest that Karakas and Fenerbahce have in their claims of altruistic motivations, and clearly points out the lack of proof provided.
In the end, we'll just have to hope for the best. In any case, this year's Kentucky team was not shaping up to be championship-caliber on paper anyway, but if the Kanter matter goes ill for UK, the road will become significantly more difficult to the more minor milestones, like the SEC championship and a high national ranking.
In the end, if the worst happens, that's just how life goes sometimes. We'll still have a good team, and you can never tell if the loss of a particular player can be a major blow, or addition by subtraction. Sometimes, it's just not obvious and can't be predicted.
But the smart money would be betting against us.

MADISON (WKOW) -- The City of Madison hopes to have all streets cleared by the morning commute.
They've been working hard through the night clearing the roads and sidewalks.
Additional snow plow crews started work at midnight and about 3:00 a.m. on Friday there were about 150 pieces of equipment on the city streets clearing the roads and sidewalks. They hope to have all the city streets cleared by 7:00 a.m. or 8:00 a.m. on Friday.
The Streets Department confirms, as of right now, they will not declare a snow emergency.
Street Machine Operator Mike Huser, has been working through the night clearing the sidewalks. He says they will cut the street plow crews nearly in half later this morning when the streets are mostly cleared.
"As soon as the plow is done we will have probably about 50 or 60 total pieces of equipment, that's when we can do clean up work," says Huser. "We will apply sand and salt. Salt to the main roads and sand to the side streets."
Some of the problem for crews is the ponding of water on city streets. Huser says there is still some standing water, but he encourages those living by a drain to try and keep it open to alleviate the problem.
Once the streets are mostly cleared, and salt and sand have been applied, crews will spend late morning and early afternoon doing any additional touch ups.
The City of Madison Streets Department says to take it slow on the roads this morning, especially for the morning commute.

Prospective Wyoming horse slaughterhouse investors watch national scene
By JOAN BARRON Star-Tribune capital bureau
CHEYENNE — A group of potential investors in a Fremont County horse slaughtering plant are watching the national political scene to see whether such projects can get started in other states.
Valley Meat Co. — a proposed slaughterhouse in Roswell, N.M. — is slated to open in late April.
According to published reports, the plant is expected to receive approval despite strong opposition from various advocacy groups, including the Humane Society of the U.S., and efforts to block it in Congress.
Four members of Congress recently introduced federal legislation to ban the slaughter of American horses and to prohibit shipping horses out of the country for slaughter.
The attorney for the owner of the Valley Meat Co. in Roswell is A. Blair Dunn. The plant's plans are still on track, Dunn wrote Thursday in an email to the Star-Tribune.
If the Roswell plant opens, it will be the first operation to slaughter horses in the United States since 2007.
Federal legislation that year prohibited the U.S. Department of Agriculture from spending its budget on the inspection of horse meat. Since horse slaughterhouses can't operate without USDA inspections, the law effectively banned the plants.
The 2007 prohibition against inspections was removed from the law in 2011.
Since then several companies, including Valley Meat Co., have applied to the USDA to resume inspections of horses for slaughter.
In Wyoming and particularly in Fremont County, there is considerable interest in establishing a horse slaughtering plant, said Keja Whiteman, a Fremont County commissioner.
"Nothing is set in stone but there definitely is interest for a multitude of reasons," Whiteman said last week.
In addition to being centrally located, the county has a significant population of feral, as opposed to wild, horses.
"People are turning out their domestic horses out on tribal land and federal land in Fremont County," Whiteman said. "And, frankly, horses are starving to death and the ones that aren't are multiplying, and neither is good."
Asked if people are turning out their horses to fend for themselves because they can't afford to feed them, Whitman it's hard to say because no one is coming forward to say the horses are theirs.
"We also have a large, untapped labor pool with the reservation. I think the reservation would be an ideal location," she said, referring to the Wind River Indian Reservation.
Plans are on hold for now, she added.
"Everybody is hesitant to invest money when there are still different political things going on at the federal level that may be attempting to block these plants that are close to functioning," she said.
State Rep. Sue Wallis, R-Recluse, is a rancher who has been active in promoting a horse slaughtering facility in the state.
She said her group of investors first looked at a horse handling facility at the old Livestock Board stockyard in Cheyenne. The facility had the potential of being a gathering point to provide livestock to plants located outside of Cheyenne.
"That turned out to be encumbered by a lease situation with the railroad that could not be resolved," Wallis wrote in an email to the Star-Tribune.
The next prospect was a plant in conjunction with a bio-gen power plant being planned outside of Guernsey.
That plan went on the back burner when the group was unable to leverage a provision in the 2008 farm bill to allow Wyoming state meat inspectors to inspect horse meat.
Wallis and other supporters then began to focus completely on Congress to get the law changed.
With the help of a Government Accounting Office report that showed that preventing the USDA from inspecting horse plants was causing harm, Wallis and her group were able to get Congress to remove the 2007 riders, or amendments, that defunded horse meat inspections.
She suggested the USDA has been dragging its feet in resuming the horse meat inspections.

Park your car, they add a meter, you get a ticket
CHICAGO - It sounds like the meter maid's version of a speed trap: A ticket for parking at a meter that was installed after you park your car.
But that's what happened in Chicago last week, where a handful of motorists returned to their vehicles and found parking meters — and tickets — that weren't there when they parked.

At the Friday night Ranch Rodeo Show at the 2012 Hillsborough County Fair, the newly crowned Harvest Queen, Kallee Cook, accompanied by the Junior Harvest Queen, Haley Tomlin, talked about their love of the fair and their passion for agriculture.
"I've had a great time representing the Hillsborough County Fair, it's a real honor to be recognized as the Harvest Queen," said Cook, 18, a freshman at Hillsborough Community College.
One of her favorite undertakings, she said, is talking to kids about the fair, and especially to preschool children for whom the outing is a first-time event.
Five best things about the fair?
"Entertainment, the rides, the foods, it's family oriented and just the joyful event," Cook answered without skipping a beat.
Don't forget, though, the livestock shows, she agreed.
"I showed Angus cattle for 11 years, so I guess you could say I've been raised in a barn," Cook said.
After selling her first four cattle, Cook said she got to raise cattle for breeding, "so I don't have to say goodbye to them." She still remembers, though, how tough it is to sell the animals you raise for slaughter, especially at first.
"My first two I got really [choked up]," she said. "My last two I thought, one, they're going to someone else's house [for people] to eat, and two, I get the money to help send me off to college."
Riley, 13, is an eighth-grader at Tomlin Middle School in Plant City.
"Without agriculture we wouldn't be able to survive," she said. "We need to keep this tradition going for our youth. It's slowly fading, and I want to keep it going."
Fairs such as the one in Hillsboroug County "are definitely one of the best ways of doing that," Riley said, "because half of the fair is related to agriculture completely."

According to a recent BE post (http://www.blazersedge.com/2013/6/8/4409038/12364282-in-cap-space) we will have approximately 12.3 million in cap space.
What I propose is going after one of several wings: Evans, Mayo, or Redick. Brewer could also provide some D and bench scoring. This would take up between 6-8 million. The point is to acquire a player who can distribute yet contribute in other areas as well.
This would probably leave us with 4-5 million to spend on....
With the remaining cap space I'd go after the best player available to add much needed depth. How do you guys feel about Darren Collison to back up Lillard? If Dallas is really trying to shed cap space for Howard or Paul then do you think Neil could finagle a trade involving our 3 second rounders and the rights to our euro (Kpap) plus (suggestions here please :D ) for Collison and their #13? This is dependent on whether or not Dallas would match an offer since he is a RFA but I will leave that up to you experts out there. Is this even feasible OR will Collison deserve a huge price tag this summer?
After we're capped out I'd like to use the MLE on Timofey Mozgov. He has shown defensive competency while guarding some of the best centers around. Below is what he can do against a healthy Bynum.
Then pick up J. Oneal for the vet minimum. The long term goal would be to let Leonard continue to develop while hoping Mozgov can experience the same growth Asik showed when given more minutes. Oneal would also be able to contribute in limited minutes.
Use #10 on a big with potential such as Adams or Zeller. While we could deepen our backcourt with the #13 on someone like Pope or Muhammed. With the athletic showing Zeller exhibited at the combine I am leaning that way and crossing my fingers on his ability to bulk up to grow into a LMA jr.
If the stars aligned and all of this happened then our lineup would look something like:
Lillard, Collison
Mathews, (Evans, Mayo or Redick), Barton
Batum, Claver, Muhammed
Aldrige, Zeller, Freeland
Mozgov, Oneal, Leonard
I'm trying to use our cap space to realistically maximize our acquisition of assets.
Another idea I had recently is about Leonard at the 4. He already has a great face up game and I think he could devastate in the post. A lot of you BE edgers are dissatisfied with his defensive development and so if we moved him to back up LMA while drafting Adams over Zeller then Adams could grow into the more defensive oriented paint clogger that we so desperately need. I haven't given up on Meyers, in fact I love the kids promise but it is just a random thought I had.
I believe the combination of depth and talent would push the Blazers light years ahead of where they are currently at. The sum of the parts is greater than each individual addition.

VCB admits to tiredness at trials
LONDON, England - Two time Olympic defending 200m champion Veronica Campbell-Brown has admitted she was tired at the Jamaican National Trials in June where for the first time in many years she failed to win either of the 100m or 200m races. At an Adidas press conference in Stratford, London yesterday, Campbell-Brown admitted, "yes I might have been a bit tired at Trials," but said she was happy to have made the team in both events.
Campbell Brown who will be contesting both the 100m and 200m events at the Olympic Games when track and field gets underway tomorrow morning at Olympic Stadium, said after running just the 200m in Beijing four years ago she was focusing on running the double.
The former Vere Technical athlete who has 13 global medals at the senior level, was second in the 100m at Trials behind Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and third in the 200m after being nipped on the line by a late charging Sherone Simpson, both behind Fraser-Pryce.

Irish Canyon was named circa 1890 after several Irishmen robbed a store in Rock Spings, WY and hung in this canyon drinking the spoils. The deep, streamless canyon was stream pirated in the geologic past, so you have a perched canyon.

CATEGORIES MoviesWith backing from Harvey Weinstein, Madonna's latest directorial effort 'W.E.' was initially considered a possible awards contender for this fall. Then it premiered at the Venice Film Festival to hoots, hollers, and wildly negative reviews. Is the Material Girl's new film dead in the water? Not according to Page Six: the New York Post gossip column claims that Madonna is cutting 10 minutes out of 'W.E.' before its release in December. Said Madonna to the Daily Mail: "Maybe it needs a bit of this and a bit of that, and maybe it's still a work in progress ... For God's sake, I hope it's over with soon!" That's the spirit! [NYP]
Good news on the Judd Apatow front. His new film -- which isn't actually officially titled 'This Is Forty,' but might as well be -- will finish filming on Tuesday. "It has suddenly gotten very sad around here," Apatow wrote on Twitter. "I am proud of our team. We gave our all." [@JuddApatow]
"My real question is, are you telling me that you're smart, funny, and ugly? Because clearly you can't be pretty, right? I'm guessing that whoever's criticizing me, you're saying that you're smart and funny but you can't be all of them. And then they're like, 'Well, you're using that.' No, I'm just being who I am and I'm actually comfortable with my sexuality, and if you put on a push-up bra or put on lip gloss, do not criticize me at all. Because who are you wearing those things for? Unless you're at home by yourself with your significant other. Who are you out in the world doing that for, who are you trying to impress? So people can not like me, that's fine. People can not think I'm funny, that's fine. But when you're trying to make a statement for women in general -- I'm like, you know what? You don't speak for a lot of women I know, and you don't speak for me. It's just you and your narrow minded friends that can all have this opinion. At least preface it with that. Like, 'Hi -- me and my friends are really narrow-minded and we don't like Olivia.' Great. But don't speak on behalf of all women." Real talk from 'I Don't Know How She Does It' co-star Olivia Munn.

'Book of Mormon' star Josh Gad has -- wait for it -- booked a new role. (GROAN!) He'll co-star in Stuart Blumberg's 'Thanks for Sharing,' which already stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Mark Ruffalo and Tim Robbins. The film is about sex addiction. [Variety]
"Is Ryan Gosling the new George Clooney?" Hopefully? [LAT]
With 'Bridesmaids' out on DVD, interest in Melissa McCarthy's scene-stealing performance has renewed to the point that some people are discussing her as a possible stealth Best Supporting Actress nominee at the Academy Awards. Not likely, but let's cross our fingers together. [NextMovie]
