Wrong Turns Make a Difficult Situation Worse
A journalist lists Top 10 bad decisions editors make when facing cuts in staff.
By Carol Bradley
A lot of editors of small- to midsized dailies are struggling to overcome the waves of budget cuts that have swept through newsrooms in recent years. Chief among their worries is: Will readers notice the cutbacks? What follows are 10 common mistakes editors can (and have) made in reacting to these cutbacks.
10. Top-down approach:
In the face of dwindling resources, decide it's too risky to trust reporters to unearth the stories of the day. Instead, hold morning meetings with middle managers to determine the paper's contents. Let marching orders flow forth from there and ignore entreaties from reporters who insist they can sniff out something better. Insist that reporters remain in the newsroom, accessible at all times, unless out on a specific assignment, to be there at the editor's beck and call when the next brilliant idea pops into his or her head, usually around 4:30 p.m. The result of this thinking will be fewer stories unique to the community and more generic stories, the kind that could appear in any newspaper anywhere.
9. Demand more:
Let the job freeze just announced by the publisher sink in for a couple of days before dropping the other shoe: In addition to having to cover for departing colleagues, reporters must add online duties to their job descriptions. Make it clear that evaluations and raises will be based in part on the number of stories reporters flesh out online. Arrange for video interviews and have reporters dump their notebooks into sidebars the print version won't have room to run. Or add a Q & A on that series on toxic waste dumps. Remind reporters that, incidentally, this is not an excuse to let story counts falter. The result: an immediate increase in shallow, just-the-facts stories because that's all that reporters will have time to produce.
8. Less editorial edge:
On the editorial page, inch steadily toward a centrist position with the objective of avoiding the alienation of any individual or group to the point that angry readers start canceling subscriptions. Become convinced that if no one calls to complain about an editorial then that's a good sign.
7. Rely on focus groups:
Form a focus group of readers and assign more weight to its members' ideas for coverage than to your gut instinct. Readers often have no concept of the public-service mandate newspapers strive to live by. Focus groups will ask for more coverage of the high school girls' volleyball team or the best rides at the state fair. Indulge them their preferences and inevitably the newspaper will move away from bold, grab-'em-by-the-collar coverage toward scrapbook material.
6. Create new community-related projects:
Expand the definition of a newspaper and play a bigger role in cosponsoring community events. Better yet, dream up new projects the newspaper can sponsor entirely on its own: a bridal extravaganza or a women's expo. "Borrow" the city hall reporter for a couple of weeks to help coordinate the coverage. Hope that no one notices the sudden dearth of stories about city hall.
5. Public special sections:
In a similar vein, compensate for declining revenue by rolling out a series of special sections: A 10-page tab saluting the armed services or a medical directory that's no more in-depth than the Yellow Pages. News columns will be siphoned away from the daily paper and reporting and editing time stolen as well. Gradually, readers' expectations will adjust and they will come to see the paper as less of a public watchdog and more of a community "friend."
4. Focus on "real life moments":
Soften the paper's personality by steeping it with coverage of "real-life moments" — senior proms, 30-year grade-school reunions. Establish monthly quotas for these kinds of stories and make it clear that no reporter gets off the hook, even when real news is unfolding on his/her beat.
3. Swap reporters and beats:
Shake up the newsroom by swapping reporters and beats — and do it without input from your staff. Don't give a senior reporter the chance to argue that he plans to retire long before he tops the learning curve on that new technology beat he was just assigned. Create enough disequilibrium and a few of more veteran (i.e. higher-priced) reporters might decide to leave. Ka-ching! At the very least, morale will be seriously damaged, and the morning pages will reflect it.
2. Establish story quotas:
Generate even more turmoil by establishing story quotas. Some newspapers require an average of a story a day. To give themselves time to work on meaty stories, reporters will take an item worth a paragraph or two, stretch it to 15 inches, and call it good.
And the Number One mistake:
Wield as your constant yardstick the mantra WWCW — What Would Corporate Want? Corporate would want pretty papers filled with cute, inoffensive stories. But corporate has no idea what real news had to be overlooked to serve up the warm-fuzzies. Stick to pleasing the corporate managers and readers will definitely notice something lacking in their newspaper — probably its soul.

When I worked in a mid-sized market TV newsroom in the 90s, we were required to file two distinct packaged stories per day. It was an insane expectation, and the results were exactly what you would expect. But at least this was at the birth of the Internet age, and we weren't required to post online content as well. From what my friends in TV news tell me, I got out just in time.

One story a day! At our 20,000 circulation newspaper, we have four full-time and one part-time reporter. The full-time reporters are required to file two stories per day! That's right - every 4 hours. Can you say massive loss of quality? And massive amounts of frustration.

GREEN BAY (WKOW) -- Green Bay Packers star Donald Driver says he will retire.
Driver appeared on ESPN's Mike and Mike show in New Orleans Thursday morning and said he will "hang up the cleats" in February, according to a report by WISN in Milwaukee.
I"m going to officially put the cleats on the shelf," he said. "I'm going to walk away from the game."
Driver said he would announce more February 6 when he goes back to Green Bay. That's when he's expected to announce his official retirement. Driver said he wanted to make the formal announcement in front of Green Bay's fans.
"I want to do it in front of the fans... something no player has ever done," he told Mike and Mike.
Driver's announcement is set for 11:00 a.m. February 6 in the Lambeau Field Atrium. The Packers organization says fans are invited. According to WISN, a limited number of free tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis in person at the ticket office starting this Friday at 9:00 a.m.
Packers fans have been quick to comment on the decision. "Bums me out, he's been a great player for a long time," Ty Anderson said. University of Wisconsin-Madison student Joshua Rynish said it's about time. "I think it was a good season for him to leave on. We had a good year."

At full throttle, this spacious, contemporary hotel dining room is everything a city brasserie should be: buzzy but civilised, with a classy, modern menu that's versatile enough for such a sizeable place. Diners can graze on the likes of leek and Rosary goats' cheese tart with beetroot chutney or duck ballottine with rhubarb chutney and gingerbread, ahead of Finnan haddock and salmon fishcake with lemon and chive butter sauce or roast fillet of lamb with a shepherd's pie of braised shoulder, spring greens and white onion purée. If you've room for dessert, you might consider banana and hazelnut Arctic roll with passion fruit. The market menu changes twice a week, there's a good-value set lunch and the terrace overlooking Temple Gardens is a pleasant prospect on fine days.

Last night the Albany Devils beat the Adirondack Phantoms in a shoot out victory after relgulation and overtime ended in a three - three tie. I thought it might be a good opportunity to report to the NJ Devils fans on how some of the players they got a pretty good look at this season are fairing down here in the minors.
It is interesting how some players do nothing but struggle in the "bigs" yet can flourish one level below. Take Tim Sestito. He played like a man possessed last night. He threw more checks than anybody, even though he may have bounced off a few of the bigger players. He dug a puck off the offensive boards, forced his way past two defenders using a tight spin move, and banked it off the goalie. Someone was mentioning the how well people play when they return from the waiver wire. Perhaps that's the case with Sestito.
Going the opposite direction is Urbom. Sorry folks, but he was all but invisible last night.. For those of you New Jersey folks who are hoping this guy is going to be ready next year, you wouldn't know it from last night's performance. Someone you might just see next year in relief could be goalie Dave Caruso. He put in an impressive performance stopping all five shooters in the shoot out. Stephen Gionta the Albany Devils captain is a perfect fit for the AHL. A smart player and strong leader, always hustling. The small framed Gionta put a hurt'in on some much bigger defenders, much to the approval of the crowd.
Lastly, I wanted to mention Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond (PL3), who scored a rare goal last night . A complete gift in front of the Phamtoms goal from a defense who latter hung himself after the game. One of the IN Lou We Trust writers recently referred to PL3 as a "goon". Granted he is not particularly skilled in any one area other than fighting. However having said that, PLS is not a goon and here's why; a true goon is someone put on the ice for the sole purpose of injuring star players on the opposing team, a head hunter if you will. I have seen PL3 in several games and I can tell you this is not his style. While he is in at least one fight almost every game, it would appear that he receives more challenges than he offers. I have seen him delivery some nasty checks but he is not a cheap player. Fighting, whether you like it or not appears to be part of the NHL/AHL for the immediate future. A good fighter can at times be the catalyst a team needs to achieve victory, as was attribute to PL3 by his team mates during a recent victory over the Charlotte Checkers. Last night for the third time I have witnessed, he knocked his opponent down with a sinlge punch. The crowd went wild,
An interesting note: Michael Leighton was the losing goalie. Leighton has many fans in the Capital Regions the result of his very successful years with the old Albany River Rats.

WTRF.com Update
A former Bethany College professor and department head is sentenced to jail time after he admits he is guilty of molesting children.
Authorities said 63-year-old Richard Rushton will spend five years behind bars.
Neither he nor his attorney would speak for his defense.
He entered an Alford plea to two charges of sexual battery last month.
Rushton, who told the court he has a doctorate, was originally charged with more counts and more serious counts, but the prosecutor says some of those had to be dismissed.
Rushton was sentenced Monday by Belmont County Judge Jennifer Sargus.
WTRF.com Update:
Belmont County Court officials said Richard T. Rushton entered "Alford pleas" to two second degree sexual battery charges Monday.
An Alford plea, according to Judge Jennifer Sargus, is essentially a guilty plea in court but it's where the defendant does not admit the act and asserts innocence.
Under the Alford plea, the defendant does admit that enough evidence exists in which the prosecution could likely convince a judge or jury to find the defendant guilty.
The 63-year-old former Bethany College department head could be sentenced to 16 years in prison.
He will be sentenced Nov. 19.
Rushton remains in the Belmont County Jail where he has been lodged since he was discovered in Italy and extradited back.
According to documents, the Alford guilty plea originated in the U.S. Supreme Court case of North Carolina versus Alford back in 1970.
WTRF.com Update:
A suspect, wanted in Belmont County for molesting children, remains in Italy while the legal system there reportedly gets set to take a long summer holiday.
Richard Rushton, former professor at Bethany College, could get two life sentences plus 21 years, if convicted. But they have to get him back to Belmont County first.
The charges facing the former college professor include two counts of rape, two counts of sexual battery and one count of gross sexual imposition. Authorities say the victims were two little girls.
After a five-month search that scanned the globe, with the help of the FBI, Rushton was found in Campobasso, Italy.
But now, even after Belmont County officials have complied with the mounds of paperwork required by the Italian authorities, there may be more delays in getting him back.
"Well, I've been advised that the court of appeals in Italy is the entity that sets the date for the formal extradition hearing that he is entitled to," says Belmont County Prosecutor Chris Berhalter. "That date has not been set yet. I've also been advised that if it's not set by the summer months, we could face more delays because the legal system in Italy slows down significantly during that period of time."
Specifically, Belmont County authorities say they're being told that the legal system in Italy basically grinds to a halt in the summer, due to the traditional summer holiday.
Berhalter says he has already sent voluminous documentation--everything from the Ohio Revised Code to the defendant's picture and fingerprints. They are hoping this case, after so many delays, won't face even more.
The charges against Rushton came out last November, when Rushton was an instructor at Bethany College and the head of the college's education department. He was relieved of his duties there shortly after the charges came out, according to college officials.
More information has been released on the whereabouts of the former college professor who is wanted in Belmont County on charges of child molestation.
He is in an Italian jail.
The city in Italy where Richard Rushton is incarcerated is Campobasso. There is a flurry of paperwork, back and forth, between there and the Belmont County Prosecutor's office.
Prosecutor Chris Berhalter said it's a lengthy and complex process.
"Well as you can imagine, we have a significant amount of paperwork we have to complete," Berhalter said. "Then once that's done it all has to be translated into Italian. And all this has to be completed within 45 days to comply with the extradition treaty that we have with Italy."
Berhalter said a Justice Department employee at the US. Embassy in Italy has been helping in the process.
The 62-year-old Rushton, formerly the head of Bethany College's education department, was reportedly taken into custody in Italy March 23.

Family Safety Tip: Lock Your Meds
April 19, 2011 by WGTS 91.9
Filed under Family Safety Tip, Morning Show
Lock Your Meds™ is a new national campaign from the National Family Partnership to inform families that they are frequently the "unintentional suppliers" of prescription medications being abused by young people.
The CDC lists prescription drug abuse as the fastest-growing drug problem among 12-17 year olds.One in five high school students in the U.S. admits to having taken a prescription drug without a prescription.The number of teens going into treatment for addiction to prescription drugs has increased by more than 300%.
Emergency room visits for prescription drug abuse have more than doubled since 2004, and 48% of all ER hospital visits for prescription drug abuse are by young people ages 12-20.
Prescription drugs are now involved in more overdose deaths than heroin and cocaine, combined.The National Family Partnership is the largest and oldest drug-prevention group in the United States, and in 1988 developed "Red Ribbon Week" into the annual campaign that now reaches more than 80 million people each year, mobilizing parents, schools and communities. As the nation's oldest and largest drug prevention group, the National Family Partnership is committed to keeping families informed.
It's a good idea to put away your prescription drug medication and make sure your children's Grandparents do as well.

Johnson & Johnson Receives $1.73 Billion in Settlement from Rival Boston Scientific
February 1, 2010
The Associated Press reports Boston Scientific Corp. will pay medical device rival Johnson & Johnson $1.73 billion to settle two suits related to stent patents, with $1 billion paid now and the remainder to be paid next January. Johnson & Johnson, based in New Brunswick, N.J., said it expects to post most of the payment as a special item in the first quarter. The lawsuits had been pending in U.S. District Court in Delaware. They involved several drug-coated stents, including Cordis''s Cypher stent and Boston Scientific''s Liberte, Taxus Liberte and Taxus Express stents. Stents are mesh-wire tubes used to hold arteries open after they are surgically cleared of blockages. They became one of the most lucrative medical devices in modern history after companies began adding drug coatings in 2003 to prevent scar tissue from growing over the mesh. Other litigation between the companies remains, including Cordis lawsuits against Boston Scientific''s Promus stent products. Last month the U.S. District Court of Delaware found four Promus patents challenged by J&J to be invalid. The companies are familiar patent case foes. In September, Boston Scientific agreed to pay Johnson & Johnson $716 million to settle 14 other patent infringement suits.

Newburyport — Mary Jean (Plouff) Hudson, 89, a lifelong resident of the Newburyport area, passed away peacefully at Anna Jacques Hospital on Monday, February 3, 2014. Her loving family has entrusted her into the hands of her Savior, Jesus Christ.
Jean was born in Newburyport on November 8, 1924, and was the youngest daughter of Henry Francis and Agnes Lyons Plouff. She graduated from Newburyport High School with the Class of 1941. She was married on May 28, 1944, to Donald G. Hudson, of Newbury. She attended Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene in Boston, and pursued a 45-year career as a dental hygienist in Newburyport, Haverhill and Hampton, N.H.
She is survived by her devoted husband, Donald, and their three children, Paula Hudson Chambers and her husband, Karl Dennis Chambers of Newburypor, Donald P. Hudson and his wife, Robin Hudson of Merrimac, Mass., and Laurel Jean Hudson and her husband, John Clark of Atlanta, Ga. She is also survived by dear grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Donald and Jean have been longtime members of the Byfield Parish Church in Georgetown, where Donald was an Elder and Jean was a Deacon. Together they helped build the facility in which the church now meets and they established the church's first modern library where Jean was a librarian. For 15 years, they were the owners of The Prospector Christian Bookstore, first of Prospect Street, then of Pleasant Street in Newburyport. Jean also established and led many Bible studies for women.
They built their own home on Scotland Road in Newbury, where Jean pursued her interests in gardening, flower arranging, entertaining and sewing. Jean was known as an "extraordinary woman at using her time efficiently" – being a wife, mother, grandmother and friend – managing a household and a career, pursuing hobbies, traveling, and honoring her commitments to God, church, family, and community with vigor and grace.
ARRANGEMENTS: In lieu of calling hours, or a funeral, there will be a private interment and a springtime memorial service will be scheduled to honor Jean's life. Details will be posted in this paper when they are available.

Or, to his friends, Rodrigo. Born in Rio de Janeiro on the sixth day of March, 1991. He's a Spanish under-23 international (Don't ask me why Spain have an U23 squad) who you may remember, started in the Europa League Final and had a brief and very unimpressive loan spell at Bolton in the 2010/11 season where he scored just one goal in seventeen matches. Don't let that scare you though because he was only nineteen at the time and he has vastly improved since then. He has been plying his trade in Portugal since he left the Reebok, at the Estadio de Luz, home to Benfica and has really picked up his game. The season after he left Bolton, he played forty-six games for Benfica (Including internationals) and scored, a very healthy, twenty-three goals and assisted five, scoring a goal every 107 minutes. While last season was slightly less impressive, he still managed to score eight-teen goals in forty-five games, assisting five. The numbers look decent and since he's only twenty-two, he will improve a lot but Chelsea aren't in a position where they can take chances and hope for the best. We need a striker that fits into what we're trying to do and how Mourinho wants play. It would help if he was a decent goal scorer as well. In terms of pricing, I believe it will be possible to get him for under 20 million pounds. So let's take a look at what that 20 million will give us:
As you can see in the video, he is a very tricky customer with pace to burn and an eye for goal, but more importantly, he does score scrappy goals as well. As you can see in the video, he scored a diving header, a couple scrappy goals and a few finishes inside the box so he's not just a show pony who scores solo efforts and screamers from outside the box. Another thing to bear in mind is that he measures at 182cm which is nearly 6 ft tall so he can score his fair share of headers and won't get muscled of the ball easily.
Don't worry, he is a striker, not a false nine though he can play as a false nine as he has got very good close-ball control and on either wing which gives us a lot of options. Not that we need it. He's a Mourinho sort of signing as well because, as you saw in the video, he works hard when not in position and is a decent tackler for a number 9. He can also work in tight spaces like I said which Mourinho is specifically looking for. Soooo... He's a young Spanish striker with a good international record, fifth-teen goals in six-teen u-21 matches last season, he's quick, tall, good finisher, good dribbler and left-footed if that helps. Sign him up!

The last time Red Deer hosted the Canadian Women's Curling Championship, Marie-France Larouche led her Quebec team to within one win of glory.
The field is finally set for the 2012 Scotties Tournament of Hearts. Now we're one step closer to answering the big question… who will wear the maple leaf in Lethbridge March 17-25 at the 2012 Ford World Women's Curling Championship?
The Road to Red Deer continues with an update from Central Canada.
Beth Iskiw's collection of provincial championship jackets is already an impressive one, with four provincial junior titles to her credit as well as two provincial Scotties women's championships.
Opportunity came knocking for Joëlle Sabourin when Jennifer Jones's second, Jill Officer, told her teammates last spring that she was expecting her first baby in December.

My choice for the Panthers first overall pick is Fairley. Most likely many of you have heard why Fairley is a monster, and how he dominates college football. This is something most of us can agree on, but the main argument against Fairley has been a certain wide receiver that is also available. AJ Green. AJ Green is a great talent, and if we do draft him I won't be too disappointed. I just feel like Fairley is of greater need and has the talent to support picking him #1 overall. This post isn't meant to praise Fairley or trash Green, my purpose is to show why the Panthers don't need Green. My reasons after the jump.
David Gettis and Brandon Lafell.
Although it might not seem like it, our two rookie receivers had good years. And yet I continuously hear they can not be number one receivers in the league and we need AJ Green to take Smitty's spot. My argument is that Lafell or Gettis are both capable of being number one receivers, and will allow Smith to move into the slot faster than if we were to draft Green and wait for him to develop.
Both were apart of one of the worst offenses in the history of the NFL, with some of the most inconsistent QB play ever. Here are both of their stats:
David Gettis: 37 rec 508 yards 3 TD
Brandon Lafell: 38 rec 468 yards 1 TD
It doesn't seem like much, but you have to keep in mind these two were rookies still getting used to the NFL. Just to put these numbers in perspective, here are some rookie year stats for some of the number one WR's in the league:
Reggie Wayne: 27 rec 345 yds 0 TD
Terrell Owens: 35 rec 520 yds 4 TD
Chad Ochocinco: 28 rec 329 yds 1 TD
Brandon Marshall: 20 rec 309 yds 2 TD
Hines Ward: 15 rec 246 yds 0 TD
Roddy White: 29 red 446 yds 3 TD
And of Course Smitty: 10 rec 154 yds 0 TD
all stats from Espn.com
So what does this mean? It means rookie receivers should not be expected to enter into the league and start making plays. It means an average rookie year still allows you to be a number one receiver in the league. It also means that our two receivers out-performed many of these current starters (excluding one soon to be Hall of Fame Player) while playing in a worse situation.
Including Lafell and Gettis, only two of these receivers were picked later than the third round. One is of course Gettis, who was picked in the sixth, the other being Marshall who was picked in the fourth. So Gettis played better than almost all of these players while being picked, on average, 4 rounds later.
I've heard that Gettis and Lafell shouldn't be counted on to be number one receivers. Gettis because he was inconsistent, and Lafell because he is only a possession receiver. But those are hardly good enough reasons. Tell me one part of our offense that was consistent before you blame Gettis for being inconsistent. And Lafell, there have been possession receivers that were also number one guys. Hines Ward is one I mentioned above, another could be Marvin Harrison. With good route running, speed isn't all that important, all that matters is that the receiver gets open.
These two guys have shown flashes of great ability, and they will get better.

Fast food
From Conservapedia
Fast food is the term generally used to describe low-priced, ready-cooked hot food sold in restaurants and diners or from street stalls, and often designed to be eaten with the fingers, rather than with cutlery. Globally-popular types of fast food (originating in the United States include hamburgers, hot dogs, and fried chicken. In Britain, fish and chips is popular, while in Belgium, fries and mayonnaise make a popular snack. While much fast food is sold by small vendors, some providers have become major international corporations: McDonald's and Burger King are among the most famous examples. Most, but not all, fast food chains are franchises.
Teenagers and college students are big consumers of unhealthy fast food, despite being more expensive than eating at home. The average college student eats eight orders of French fries each week.[1]

Why Is this Recession so Hard to Get Out Of ?
We're in a "Liquidity Trap"
December 18, 2011. Free-market economies have recession about every 4 to 8 years, and they usually last only about six months. Well that's how they count it to be optimistic. That's really just the time it takes to hit bottom, but after about 3 years thinks are usually headed strongly in the right direction.
Why not this time? Because the usual method of getting out of recession is broken. The usual method is for the Fed to lower interest rates. That makes it easier for people to buy house and for businesses to buy more office space, factories and equipment. All this is called investing. It's also called demand-side stimulus. Economists call buying stuff "demand."
The trouble is, the interest rate started out near zero and the Fed soon pushed it so close to zero you can't tell the difference, but that wasn't enough. That's because interest rates started lower and this recession is bigger than usual.
The way the Fed reduces interest rates is to make more money available—economists call that more "liquidity." But interest rates can't go below zero because it makes no sense to pay someone to borrow your money. So the zero limit on interest rates is the trap. Hence, the "liquidity trap."
What to Do?
December 18, 2011. There are two basic ways to increase demand: (1) Monetary policy, and (2) Fiscal policy. Monetary policy means the Fed increases the money supply, and fiscal policy means the government buys things or cuts taxes to get us to buy things. Back in the 1960's and 70's there was a huge debate between conservative economists, like Milton Friedman, who said to use Monetary policy for recessions and liberal economist, who said to use fiscal policy. Fiscal policy is also called Keynesian policy because Keynes developed the theory for why it is sometimes needed.
Regarding normal recessions, Monetary policy is quicker and cheaper than fiscal policy. But by the time Obama took office, the economy was already in a liquidity trap and Monetary policy could do very little. So a month after talking office, Obama passed the stimulus bill—that's fiscal policy, and it worked. But it was too small, and due to Congressional nonsense it was not well designed. Still, as you can see, it hastened the recovery, and according the Congressional Budget Office, it add a couple of million jobs.
Unfortunately, as the stimulus ran out, jobs were cut. This is anti-stimulus and that began, far too soon, near the end of 2010. Anti-stimulus should not occur until the economy is growing rapidly, and can absorb workers laid off as the stimulus ends.

SFV OG is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain that is great for patients who need strong pain relief but don't want to be stuck on the couch. As the name indicates, this strain originates from California's San Fernando Valley and also has Ghost OG genetics. The flowers will stay fairly small and may not look super impressive, but what it lacks in looks it makes up for in smell. The pine and lemon earthiness that SFV exudes can be a bit harsh and bitter if smoked, so this strain is one to save for the vaporizer if consuming directly. Its indica body effects take a little longer to feel than the initial head haziness, but once they do, everything will feel fine.

Chef Barton Seaver gets Duped by Seafood Fraud
Sustainability-minded chef and National Geographic fellow Barton Seaver is the latest victim of seafood fraud. He admitted as much in a recent post on National Geographic's Ocean Views blog. Shopping at one of his favorite seafood markets Seaver was taken in by what he thought to be that staple of mid-Atlantic cuisine, the Maryland blue crab. As he tells it, he didn't get what he paid for:
"Back in my kitchen, the container held beautiful giant lumps of meat, larger than I have seen in decades. I was pleased and thought to myself "hey, the crabs are doing well if we are catching them this big". I noticed a small red ring on some joints where the muscle had met the leg of the crab, a color that I was not used to seeing. I chalked it up to "maybe I haven't ever seen crabs this big." On I went, adding the lemon juice, mayonnaise, and a dusting of breadcrumbs. I texted a picture of the crab to my friend who works with the State of Maryland fisheries congratulating him on the conservation efforts that had obviously worked to bring crab meat this big to my table.
His response, 'Asian! The red tip to the lump gives it away.' I had been beat. Even though I had read the sign, checked the label, and smelled the product, I had been duped."
Seaver also relays how, upon closer inspection, the container attested to the fact that the meat had been pumped with preservatives as well as a water rentention agent. A recent Boston Globe investigation revealed that such chemicals, like sodium tripolyphosphate, are routinely used to plump up seafood, boosting profits for distributors who sell by the pound. Unsurprisingly, Seaver says that the quality of the product suffered as well.
"I tasted the crab and there was a lingering chemical acidity and a muted flavor. Not what I was expecting, nor what I was led to believe I was buying."
Along with U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), who earlier this week wrote a letter to the FDA demanding stricter monitoring and enforcement of seafood fraud, Seaver wants to end this deceitful and possibly dangerous practice, and asks readers to sign Oceana's petition to congress for stricter labeling and enforcement. Join the fight against seafood fraud and sign the petition!

Taunton florists strike gold
Updated 9:30am Friday 30th May 2014 in News By Sam Jones
A FLORIST in Taunton is celebrating two staff winning gold at this year's Chelsea Flower Show.
Charlotte Murrant, 23, and Lisa Fowler, 34, of Eden Florists, progressed through regional heats in the junior and senior section for the chance to compete at the show and they didn't disappoint.
Their stunning floral design dresses clearly caught people's attention as Charlotte bagged a gold medal in the Young Florist of the Year category while Lisa was awarded 'Best in Show' making her Chelsea Florist of the Year 2014.
Jane Cowling, owner of Eden Florists, said: "I couldn't be more proud and am completely blown away with the girls achievements at the show. A Chelsea Gold Medal is seen as the highest award in floristry so for Eden to have two is amazing.
"The girls both have a huge amount of talent and have put so much work into their dresses. They are absolutely beautiful. It is wonderful to say 'The Chelsea Florist of the Year' is from Taunton."
Charlotte said: "It feels amazing to have won a gold medal at Chelsea. It's an honour just to qualify and compete at the show. To win a gold medal is something I have always dreamed of and I will treasure it forever."
Lisa said: "It still seems unbelievable. The standard was so high and I never ever thought I would be the one to win and become the Chelsea Florist of the Year."
The dresses can be found on display in the Eden Florists shop, St James' Street.

A man who had outstanding warrants thought running from police was a good idea. Today he is in the Jefferson County jail.
Beaumont officers tried to stop the man Saturday at the corner of 11th Street and Sweetgum Lane, but the man refused to pull over. Police say he eventually abandoned his car and tried to flee on foot. Officers quickly overtook him and put him in handcuffs.

Daniel Wagner over at Backhand Shelf blog has posed a story on penalty +/- with some names that should interest Avalanche fans. Click here to read.
To summarize, Matt Duchene is one of the best players in the NHL in drawing penalties, versus committing them (+12), while Kyle Quincey is the worst (-16). What has changed recently? One is out of the lineup and the other just got back in it.
I think these lists say... something. But not the whole story. Quincey is paired with a rookie which might lead to more penalties and he's the leading defensive scorer on the team. Duchene is high on this list in part because his defensive game isn't very physical so he doesn't take many penalties. Dustin Brown, that guy hits everything that moves and has drawn 25 penalties while committing eleven. If the Kings find their powerplay, look out.

While our consultants are preparing contracts for Loganport to sign, maybe it would be a good idea to visit successful pyrolyzers that are similar in fuel, volume, and electrical output to the one that Pyrolyzer LLC proposes to build for Logansport. The only problem is that no such facility exists.
And who is the pyrolyzation expert on these fact-finding trips for Logansport? Maybe Bradley Angel should go. At the "World's Largest Incinerator Coming to Logansport?" event (available on youtube.com, part 7), Bradley described touring a trash gasification/electricity facility in Japan, where he could see that the operator's claims were untrue. At the end of the tour, the three plant managers apologized for making false claims. Someone who knows what to look for might be a valuable person to invite on a fact-finding trip.
Since January, Logansport citizens have been asking for proof that Pyrolyzer LLC can produce clean, cheap, reliable electricity. Even after these recent field trips, we still do not have the answer.

Should have seentrail user fee coming
I guess people should have thought of things like this beforehand. Times are tough right now and if you impose a user fee [on recreational trails], you may not have people using the trails because they can't pay.
It's kinda funny how [Rep. Bill] Friend is looking to start this user fee when there are far worse things to consider, like people losing jobs. I guess if you lose your job, you can go walk on a trail.
Wonder if the trails will be fenced off and gated with money and card machines at the entrance gates. Just hope they take food stamps.

Some lucky winners of the Illinois Lottery weren't so lucky when they went to cash their checks.
The winners were stunned. Patti Crenshaw of Chicago says "So much money goes into the lottery, you would think that they would be able to pay out." But that wasn't the case when she tried to collect her $847.
The largest bounced check was for about $2,500.
Lottery spokesman Mike Lang says checks to eight recent winners in the Chicago area have bounced because of a clerical error, delaying the payouts, which totaled about $10,000 altogether.
Lang says a lottery employee forgot to approve the winning funds on deadline, so the bank did not release the money.
All eventually got their winnings.

FSSAI Urged to Keep Tabs on Tobacco Promotion and Sales
by Kathy Jones on June 22, 2012 at 9:29 PM General Health News - G J E 4
India's food safety authority has been urged by an anti-tobacco voluntary group to expand its public health policy by checking on the promotion and sales of tobacco products in the country.
HRIDAY (Health Related Information Dissemination Amongst Youth), in a letter to the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) said tobacco products were being indirectly promoted in the country.
"The tobacco industry has been using indirect and surrogate means like sponsoring TV shows, cricket tournaments and award functions to promote products such as pan masala through their identical brand extensions."
"The use of identical or similar brand names creates a confusion and incites consumers, particularly youth, to experiment with such products," the letter to FSSAI chairperson K. Chandramouli said.
FSSAI, under the ministry of health and family welfare, lays down scientific standards for food articles and their manufacturing, storage and distribution.
Citing advertisements of certain products at Delhi's Metro stations and the international airport, which claim to have "zero percent tobacco", the anti-tobacco group demanded that these be tested to ensure the safety of consumer.
"We urge FSSAI to initiate a process of testing all pan masala and mouth fresheners available in the market and, based on their cancer-causing and other hazardous properties, prohibit their direct and indirect advertisements," the letter said.

As I had stated a few weeks ago I would be attending last night's game in Pittsburgh since that is where I live. Needless to say there was about 10 Bills fans and almost all of them, including myself, had on Poz jerseys. That was about the highlight of the evening because as everyone knows the Bills sucked it up big time. Below you will find some points I want to discuss as I watched the game last night.
Trent Edwards - HORRIBLE!!!!! I can't express that enough. He looked like a lost puppy dog in the middle of road with traffic wizzing by him. Terrible throws, terrible reads, terrible execution. I'm getting sick of his inconsistent play real fast. I also noticed that he checks down to backs and flat routes waaaaaaaaay too much. There was a play in the 2nd quarter I believe that he ended dumping it off to his RB in the right flat when Lee Evans was running down the middle of the field WIDE OPEN! And when I say wide open I mean the Steelers safeties were 20yds BEHIND HIM!!! Throw the ball downfield!!!!!!!!
Defense - Again it was another "bend but don't break" kind of night...too bad it BROKE! There did have a few promising signs...Williams' forced fumble and Maybin's sack...but other than that it was the usuall scared Fewell's defense that we've come to know and ditest. Big Ben had little pressure, if any, on him outside of Maybin's sack and Johnson's QB hurry. The Bills couldn't even generate pressure when they blizted, but what else is new? I do have to say that when the Bills ran man coverage McGee and McKelvin had the receivers blanketed. Yes they made a few nice catches but there aren't many QB's in the league that could have made some of those throws. Poz was the best player by far on the field. He was making stops everywhere, in the run game and on pass plays. He just needs better coverage skills and he'll be just fine.
Special Teams - Why were there so many penalties on the "NFL's best ST Unit?" The Bills had either Holding or Block in the Back penalties almost every time they returned the ball...it was ridiculous. Besides the penalties they weren't getting any return yards and we all know that the Steelers ST is always middle of the pack AT BEST. We should have had a huge advantage over them in that area of the game but once again they found a way to screw that up.
Coaching Staff - Plain and simple...I HATE THEM. Turks play calling was pathetic (just like Trent's execution), Fewell's defense is vanilla and useless, and Jauron's gameplan and decision making was just as bad as everything else. I was super excited for the season with the draft picks we've made and the FA's we brought in but after watching last nights, and the other games, I'm not so excited anymore. The Bills need to pull something out of their butts real fast to impress their fan base or they'll again be calling for Jauron's head, and probably Trent's too.
All in all the game sucked last night. I did, however, get some pretty sweet pictures of the players as they walked into the tunnel after the game. They also slapped hands with fans and threw their gloves / wrist bands into the stands. Hopefully they know something that we don't and this preseason is just an illusion for what is to come once opening day arrives.

Route Guide - iPhone / Android - Partners - Forum - Photos - Deals - What's New - School of Rock
Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This route lies in the gully left of Osiris, the first large gully on the left side of the book. The route is the next one left of Living Dead. The route is a long, finger crack that starts in a left facing dihedral and goes for a full 150 feet up to some rap anchors on top of the second pitch of Living Dead. A variation called Dead Boy (.10b) takes a thin dicey RP protected traverse right directly to the anchors on Living Dead. This is a beautiful sustained finger crack in good rock. The first 100 feet are about 5.9 and lead up to a difficult 5.11 move in a bulge. After this move 30 feet of solid 5.11 finger jamming make for a pumpy lead up and right to join up with Living Dead's second pitch crux (.10a). A beautiful and worthwhile pitch that eats pro and stays in the shade for most of the day.
Many small to medium sized stoppers and TCUs the crux is thirty feet long and requires a substantial amount of gear in this range.

Complex has pix of Kanye West's latest collection for APC, a 14 piece capsule featuring military inspired staples and basics.
Bomber Jacket, $780
Starting July 17th, you can get your hands on $90 t-shirts, $400 biker pants, and $2,895 jackets trimmed in luxe fur.
Biker Pants, $415
Kanye Jeans, $280
Plain T-Shirt, $90
Parka with fur, $2,895
If you like what you see, act as fast as you can. Kanye's contract with Adidas conflicts with A.P.C's Nike ties, which means this will be the last collaboration between West and the French brand.
Army Pants, $385
Swiss Army Parka, $1,015
Work Shirt, $265
I'm not really seeing anything groundbreaking here–are you? And more than a few pieces are woefully overpriced.
Camo Shirt, $150
Kanye Jeans, $280
Patched Sweatshirt, $180
But, if you love it and must have it, set your calendar for July 17th. The collection will be available at End Clothing, Tres Bien, and TotoKaelo.com.
Airport Sweater, $340
Airport Sweater, $340
Army Sweater, $325

Ummmmm $90 for a plain white tee????
I wish him luck. I don't see anything worth those prices. These pieces look like Banana Republic/Benetton/Gap.
A part of me thinks this is laughable
However, the other part of me, thinks "Wow what a brand to have built to be able to demand these price points and sell out"
Please but my daddy stuff y'all, we saving for my college tuition!
I like to think when I have my millions I still wont spend 90 dollas on a tee but who am I kidding..
Kayne makes me laugh with this fashion stuff. This whole collection is Blah!!
^^ A la his personal style. Not even 'meh'-worthy….
Even the names are boring…lol at "Airport Sweater"
Kanye is crazy….those are true religion, rodarte and zegna prices….and besides the fur coat and that sexy white sweater, everything else looks like clothes from Jcpenney and kohls……he should just stick to street wear..whatever happened to "pastelle"?….he's trying too hard……doesnt his wife sell clothes at sears for about 30 to 60…lol…what makes his basic ass "made in china for 5cents" tees 90 AMERICAN DOLLARS….kanye has lost his mind……
I want to see kanye collabo with H&M or even target…that would make more sense…..this is just tragic….
yall should really watch his interviews. he has no control over these prices. the items are simple. but who doesnt love a quality essential item? Funny part is, this collection will sell out in a matter of days just like the other ones.
With these prices I would like to see a collection with a little more substance. There's Nothing….unique or thought provoking. I undersand wanting clean lines but please give us some flavor. Not something I can find for less at Jcpennys during its hay days!!! You gotta come with something better than that Son. Okay the silhouette on the pants is cool… That's it.
Didn't his last collection sell out?
I mean there has to be a market there …. So do your thing yeezy
I like the parka's. I choked in the prices but ok, why not. If it sells it sells right! I recently bought me an all leather vintage olive green parka, without the fur allright! Gonna kill it in fall with that thing :-)
When your a celebrity of a certain status u can get away with a lot . You've built your base so there's always ppl ready to buy you selling ?
This collection should be named, "When Delusions of Grandeur Go Wrong". I see nothing worthy of the cost despite Kanye's status.
I swear people are always trying to come for Kanye, but if you follow his interviews he has No Control over the prices. This line will sell out like the last line, so it doesn't really matter. Personally I don't like some of the pieces, but I know it will do well and I can't lie, A.P.C. has some nice jeans.
Kanye is always on the soap box about how he's a fashion genius — and I, again, am unimpressed. I'm sure people will buy b/c of the association, not because he's some groundbreaking talent.
I'd love to see what people look like wearing this. I'm INCREDIBLY curious.
Agreed with @LouLou. I'd like to see the celebs that wear this (other than him and the Kardashian Klan). I know it will sell out since he has a following, but I want to see which celebs buy in. Should be interesting.
plain white tee… ground breaking.
and he wonders why no one will take him seriously in the fashion industry. this is a joke. but whats really sad is the fact that there will be a bunch of flunkies breaking their necks trying to buy it.
As some one who owns a few apc pieces I can tell you that these are their normal price points. You are paying for the quality! This is why they have fast fashion, for people who just want quantity lol
His last collection had the prices up to par with the quality. He used real indigo dying techniques for jeans, 100% fine cotton, really good twill, etc. I mean am I the only one on here the pays up to $100 on tees? I get mine from James Perse and have never bought a basic tee from elsewhere ever again. Basics should always be investment pieces IMO and that's why people go to APC anyways so this collab makes sense to me. Kanye knows who his market is and is just trying to make it known that quality basics should be investments.
I'm sure Kanye pricing is based on the quality of the materials used and his target market isn't the usual h&m customers but people who care about real pieces that last longer than 3 months. I'm sure you can wear that white tee continously for years before showing signs of it falling apart. I won't mind spending $250+ on a tee I know I can keep for the next 10 yrs. It is a financial bargain imo.

By the end of this month, you should be getting your W-2 so you can file your taxes. But you'll want to make sure no one beats you to it.
Identity thieves want to get their hands on your tax return.
There are all kinds of ways your identity can be used by thieves, to open new lines of credit or raid your accounts. But with the right information, they can also get their hands on your tax return.
"It's one of the fastest growing forms of identity theft and year-over-year the IRS is seeing even more cases," Marley Prunty-Lara of the Center for Financial Resources said.
In two years the Internal Revenue Service stopped nearly 15 million suspicious returns, but those are only the ones that were caught. But how do you know if someone is using your identity to file a fake return?
"You'll get a notice that you've already filed your taxes this year; or you'll get notice that there's an employer with your W-2 and you've never worked for them," Prunty-Lara said.
There are ways to cut down on your risk:
- First, file early, before thieves have the chance.
- As always, guard your personal information especially your Social Security number.
- If you're filing taxes on your computer use a secure Internet connection and anti-virus software.
- Shred any copies of tax documents that contain that information that you don't need to keep.
"Also take steps immediately if you notice there is a problem. If you're getting an error, if there's something on there you don't recognize; if you're getting notices you should have filed and it was a tax year you didn't need to file, contact the IRS immediately," Prunty-Lara said.
Remember the IRS will NEVER contact you by email and ask for information. You can fill out IRS form 8821. It's a tax information authorization form that will guarantee you get all IRS communications, even if a criminal files a return in your name.

Several years ago, Jerry Seinfeld had a routine called "rooting for laundry". The basic premise was that sports fans who pulled for a team over a long period of time were basically just cheering the uniforms instead of the players, since the players were constantly changing.
I was reminded of this when the video promo for Bama-LSU from the SEC Digital Network was posted here a couple of days ago. I thought of all the great players we have been fortunate enough to see wear the crimson and white over the years.
There are, of course, the names everyone knows, like Namath, Stabler, Jordan, Musso, and so on. But there are so many that contributed greatly that are mostly forgotten, names like Wayne Wheeler, the terrific wideout from the great 1973 team. Names like Calvin Culliver, Willie Shelby, and Steadman Shealy, possibly the best pure Wishbone quarterback Alabama ever produced.
And Lane Bearden, the gutsiest punter who ever lived, kicking with a torn ACL.
And I have a special place in my heart for Dennis Riddle, who danced his way into the end zone to rip a victory away from the Auburn Tigers. His run allowed my Dad to die a happy man.
I had gone home to see my Dad for the last time, going straight to the hospital where he had been for the last few weeks, slowly wasting away with liver cancer. It was hard to see this man who had always been a rock, now confined to a hospital bed, reduced to half his normal weight. It was he who had taught me about Alabama football, taught me to love it.
Some of the last words he was ever able to speak to me were "24-23". That was the code for his new garage door keypad he had just installed the fall before his illness. And, of course, the score of that Iron Bowl game.
Regardless of the outcome of tonight's game, enjoy this year's version of the Tide. It is quite possibly the most talented Crimson Tide team in history and we may never see the likes of it again.
I wish Dad could see it. He'd be proud.
Roll Tide, Dad.

UFC fighters and former Arizona State wrestling standouts, Ryan Bader, CB Dollaway and Aaron Simpson have left Arizona Combat Sports. With the departure, the three now count themselves among the high-profile fighters who have trained at one point or another at the Tempe, Ariz.-based gym: Joe Riggs, Drew Fickett, Carlos Condit, and TUF 7 alum, Matt Riddle, are some of the former members of ACS.
According to MMAmadness.com (via Bloody Elbow)
The move by the three UFC competitors and Arizona State alums comes at a curious time as all are coming off the biggest wins of their careers. Bader defeated Keith Jardine via third round TKO at UFC 110, Dolloway took home a unanimous decision that same night against Goran Reljic and Simpson defeated Tom Lawlor at UFC Fight Night 20 in January.
No information has surfaced regarding the destination of the three fighters or the reasons for their leaving the longtime training ground.
Perhaps Bader, Dollaway, and Simpson have felt the need to seek a greener pasture in order to elevate their game to a new level. If so, their decision is commendable, as they refuse to become complacent with their recent victories. Despite possessing strong wrestling foundation, they all have weaknesses that must be fortified in order to achieve success at the highest level.
The question is, where will they defect to? Which gym will have the room to accommodate three fighters who have the potential to make some waves in their respective divisions, without posing the dilemma of possible teammate battles that have become common at high-profile gyms?

As if we couldn't assume, the Astros will likely be one of the sellers this summer. Richard Justice blogs that the Astros will be selling on Carlos Lee and others, and even willing to pick up some of the salaries. I don't see anyone they have worth pursuing for the Giants other than Lee and Oswalt, but Lee obviously fills a greater need.
Here's some of the Pros and Cons of Lee:
Pro: Middle of the order hitter. Projects for a high .800 OPS. Averaged 20.9 replacement runs from '06-08. Averaged a dollar value of $12.66 M over '06-09. Right handed hitter, whom the Giants already had interest in.
Con: Butcher in left field. 32 years old (33 in June), and has recent injury issues. Remaining salary of $18.5 M through 2012 (74 M over 4 years). Would likely move Freddie to the bench.
So is Carlos Lee worth pursuing? If so what would it take to get him?

Interesting story http://blogs.wsj.com/drivers-seat/2012/03/16/is-toyota-subaru-sports-car...
Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 Mass Production Begins by Fuji Heavy Industries
that it held a line-off ceremony at Subaru's Gunma Main Plant (Ota-city, Gunma Prefecture, Japan) with Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) President Akio Toyoda and honored guests in attendance, in commemoration of the production start of the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86.
FHI and TMC first agreed on business collaboration in October 2005. After the companies expanded their cooperative ties with new agreements related to development and production in April 2008, they then began four years of development. The completion of this joint-development product also marks a great achievement of the alliance between FHI and TMC.
At the ceremony, TMC President Akio Toyoda said, "I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the ceaseless efforts of all FHI people and staff who were involved in the development, production and preparations for both models. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 not have been successfully developed without collaboration between FHI and TMC. We started the alliance for mutual growth in 2005. Now I'm delighted to see this moment that our alliance surely bore fruit." °
FHI President Yasuyuki Yoshinaga, after extending his gratitude to all participants at the ceremony, said, "the car symbolizes our corporate strategy in two significant aspects: good progress of our alliances; and advancement of our "select and focus" approach. The start of production today made a huge step for us, but it is not our goal. By constantly refining both models, TMC and FHI hope to nourish each model to be loved by customers all over the world for a long time to come."
Subaru Gunma Main Plant, where minicars were previously manufactured, was recently renewed for the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 production. FHI plans to produce the Impreza at the same plant by March 2013. FHI offers "Enjoyment and Peace of Mind" to its customers through the Subaru brand statement "Confidence in Motion" and its consistent approach to "Engineering excellence".

Wayne Williams and the Atlanta Child Murders
Wayne Bertram Williams
Wayne Williams, born on May 27, 1958, was the only child of schoolteachers Homer and Faye Williams. The Williams family lived in Dixie Hills, a neighborhood where many of Atlanta's murder victims had once lived or from where they had disappeared.
His parents doted on him and spent every cent they had supporting his entrepreneurial ventures. From a young age, Williams dreamed of making it big in the broadcasting and entertainment industry. A talented and motivated young man, Williams began his own radio station at the age of sixteen from his parent's home.
He graduated from Fredrick Douglas High School with an honors degree and attended Georgia State University for one year before dropping out. In his late teens he worked for a popular radio station and appeared in [Jet] magazine along with his employer, Benjamin Hooks, an influential black leader at the time who eventually headed the NAACP. Williams spent much of his time marketing his own station and promoting local musical talent, performing odd jobs to fund his ideas and experimenting with electronics, which was his hobby.
Williams had also sold video footage and photographs of area accidents, such as fires, car accidents and even one plane crash, to local television stations to earn money. He would hear about many of the accidents from his police radio scanner, which allowed him to make it to scenes of accidents sometimes before the police had even arrived.

That is a fabulous idea!
We tried the Color Wonder fingerpaints, but it's hard to explain to little kids that you don't need much. Boo would gouge out a bunch of it and it would get smeared all over and soak through multiple pages....
I honestly think normal fingerpaints may have been less messy!

Rebecca liked paint-in-a-plastic-bag (put a little paint in a ziplock baggie, smooth flat, then draw with your finger squishing the paint out of the way, re-smooth) so I bet she would like this too.

What a great idea! But what is freezer paper? Is it the same as waxed paper?
I also want to try the idea in Katherine's comment above- my little one is always asking to paint, but I'm not always up for the mess!

Katherine -- that sounds fun too!
Stephanie -- I always get waxed paper and freezer paper confused, but I think they are the same thing (my husband calls it grease-proof paper, but he's from new zealand). Anything see through will work.

Great project. One book that I think you reviewed earlier on your blog and we really enjoyed was Lemons Are Not Red. As for blogger difficulties, I create my posts using LiveWriter from Microsoft. It's awesome to use, and I never even go to Blogger any longer except when I have to add a couple words to my posts.

@raising We do love Lemons Are Not Red! That's interesting about LiveWriter. Maybe I'll look into it (although I am a devoted Mac user).
