Public Citizen Urges Congress to Pass Ground-Breaking Package of Lobbyist Fundraising, Earmark and Other Key Reforms
Far-Reaching Lobbying and Ethics Reform Legislation Faces Up or Down Vote This Week
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Public Citizen praised new lobbying and ethics reform legislation introduced in Congress today. Nearly two years – and one Congress – after a wave of lobbying and ethics scandals put a dozen current and former lawmakers under criminal investigations, the 110th Congress is on the verge of passing far-reaching reforms to change the way business is done on Capitol Hill.
The legislation, unveiled today as a substitute measure consolidating earlier House and Senate versions, faces an up-or-down vote in the House on Tuesday and the Senate on Thursday. If passed by both houses of Congress this week, it will be sent directly to the president to be signed into law. The earlier legislation (H.R. 2316 and S. 1) stalled in the Senate when Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) placed a hold on the appointment of conferees. It looked as though the legislation would perish until House and Senate Democratic leaders worked out a single bill.
"Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid demonstrated leadership and a strong commitment to reform in their clever end-run around roadblocks," said Laura MacCleery, director of Public Citizen's Congress Watch division. "The bill includes new measures to enhance the transparency of government, including disclosure of campaign fundraising by lobbyists."
This lobbyist bundling provision creates new disclosure requirements for all federal races, including congressional and presidential, and will address disclosure inadequacies recently brought to light by Public Citizen's new Web site on the 2008 presidential election, www.WhiteHouseforSale.org.
In sum, the new ethics bill:
"This is much of what America demanded in the 2006 elections, when voters sent a clear message to Congress to clean up its act," said Craig Holman, lobbyist for Public Citizen. "This important lobbying and ethics reform bill will be a landmark of more honest government for years to come."

Public Citizen Foundation, however, is an IRS § 501(c)(3) organization. Accordingly, its ability to engage in lobbying is limited by federal law, but it may receive donations that are tax-deductible by the contributor. Public Citizen Inc. does most of the lobbying activity discussed on the Public Citizen Web site. Public Citizen Foundation performs most of the litigation and education activities discussed on the Web site.

This is how to do watermelon salad.
Nothing says summer like watermelon! Slice watermelon into approx 1 inch rings, then remove the rind from each slice with a small knife. Place one watermelon "round" onto each salad plate, then top with a layer of thinly sliced fresh mozzarella (5 pieces?), followed by a layer of finely chopped mint, basil (approx 1/4 c each) and a sprinkling of nuts (I used almonds and walnuts, but you can use any kind). Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and sea salt before serving. Enjoy with a fork and knife- a light yet filling salad!

Continuing the food truck craze…after graduation I've had time to seriously contemplate the fabulous food truck offerings that Chicago has to offer. These beauties are from Duck n' Roll. This is one of the only food trucks that I patronized again and again. Their miso-braised short rib is TO. DIE. FOR. I've had it like three times. It's so perfectly sweet, salty, and meaty. The pickled vegetables are the perfect complement to the rich and savory short ribs. I've also gone back (not actually hungry) twice for their donuts. Seriously, these donuts are RIDICULOUS. They're buttery, cinnamony, and sooo chocolaty. After eating these once, I walked around for like twenty minutes with gooey chocolate on my chin and when I found out, I wasn't even embarrassed - I was just delighted that there was still chocolate left over. Highly HIGHLY recommend this.
This is an awesome chart.

Food trucks are fantastic. These tasty morsels are jerk chicken tacos from Flavor180. They came with what looked like a salad but was actually lettuce and tomatoes to use as toppings (tomatoes only pictured as lettuce on tacos is totally gross) and spicy sauce. The sauce particularly was a surprise and was crazy delicious - spicy and tangy. God, there is just nothing better than sitting in the sun on the quad (in March!) with nothing to do during spring break. This may become a series as I am now obsessed with trying every food truck that stops by campus.
Two facts: I love Halloween and I love Doctor Who. So, naturally, even though it's midterm season (and given my limited carving equipment and distaste for the insides of pumpkins), I decided to decorate two pumpkins as ultimate enemies the Doctor and a Dalek. The Dalek's eyestalk is a wine-stopper, his buttons are painted bottle-caps, and the Doctor's sonic is a modified highlighter.

Homemade (Vegetarian) Sushi
When I was growing up in a very rural, relatively isolated part of the country, I didn't have access to many different types of cuisine. There were four restaurants in my town (not counting fast food) for the first 12 years of my life: a decent steakhouse, a Burger King knockoff called "Burger Queen," a motel dining room, and a place called Trapper's Kettle, which had decor that consisted of old-timey traps, a canoe out of which they served salad, and a lot of mounted deer heads and pheasants. Then we got an Applebees, and the town went nuts. Seriously, there were lines out the door to get a table. For Applebees. If my dad hadn't grown up in the southwest, I probably would only have eaten Italian or American food throughout my childhood. Suffice to say, I'd never had sushi (or indian food, or thai food) before coming to college. And now, look at me. Makin' sushi. Honestly, the greatest part of going to college at UChicago is not the super quality education. It's all the opportunities I've had since being here. The wider variety. Everything and everyone is so different from what I knew growing up, which is exactly what I wanted from college. I used to dream that it would be like this, and I was right. I think that's why I've been so satisfied with school. A lot of people I know seem to be, if not unhappy, then a little disgruntled with a lot of what's happening in their lives. Either they're bored, or too stressed, or apathetic. Perhaps it's third-year pre-studying-abroad boredom, I don't know. But I think having so little to interact with and think about when I was younger made this part of my life a lot cooler. It's like doling out candy instead of just eating it all at the beginning, except with life experiences. In sum, I'm glad I grew up where I did, even with the salad-canoe. Actually, because of the salad-canoe. And I'm glad I am where I am now, because it gives me the chance to attempt to make sushi with really cool people. Next time, I might be brave enough to add fish.
Recipe (from Sushi, by Szwillus & Mitani)
This makes enough for 10 rolls of sushi, with rice and filling left over. I would suggest buying more seaweed sheets, because that was our limiting factor.
2 cups (dry) Sushi Rice
1/6 cup rice vinegar (though we used diluted white vinegar and it worked perfectly)
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tbsp sugar
1 big carrot
1 medium-sized cucumber
1 avocado
3 tbsp sake
2 tbsp water
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
Toasted nori sheets (you cut them in half, so we bought five that became 10, but I would suggest getting more)
Wasabi paste
Soy sauce
The most important part of sushi is definitely the rice. If it's not the perfect amount of sticky, you will have muchos problemos. The recipe we used worked out perfectly: Wash the sushi rice under cold running water until water is clear. Fill a saucepan with rice and 1 1/2 cups water. Let soak for 10 minutes. Bring rice to a boil, stir, and let boil for 2 minutes. Reduce heat and let rice cook for 10-20 minutes, depending on package instructions. (Don't overcook! We took the rice off when all of the water was gone.) In the meantime, stir the vinegar, salt, and sugar together until completely dissolved. Remove rice from stove and cover with a kitchen towel to cool for 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and turn quickly with a bamboo paddle. Don't stir or squeeze the rice, but draw lines from top to bottom and left to right, occasionally fanning with the paddle. Cover with a damp towel to keep moist during the sushi-making process. Peel and cut carrot, cucumber, and avocado into long thin strips. Cover avocado with lemon immediately to avoid browning. Let sake, water, salt, and sugar come to a boil in a pan. Add carrots and simmer for 1 minutes. Remove from heat and add cucumber. Let cool in the broth. Remove, pat dry.
To make sushi with nori on the outside, cut the sheet in half and place on a rolling mat with the smooth side down. Dip your hands into a side bowl of vinegar water and cover the sheet with sushi rice. Leave a margin on one side of the sheet. Spread a little wasabi paste down the middle. Place the filling in a line, being careful not to over-fill. You won't be able to roll them if they're too full. Lift the bottom part of the rolling mat and roll both mat and nori around the filling (hold the filling in the middle to keep it inside). Pull out the mat right before the roll closes. Place part of the mat around the roll and press together to give it shape. Cut the sushi in half with a sharp knife, then cut into half or thirds again. Eat! (To make sushi with the rice on the outside, do the exact same thing, except when assembling cover the mat with plastic wrap that has been dipped in vinegar water. Pat the rice into a square the size of the nori sheet, then top with sheet. Place filling onto the sheet, then roll. This one isn't that much harder to make, but it is harder to cut. But you can add more filling!)
Things that Hyde Park Produce has:
Things that Hyde Park Produce does not have:
This last point is very problematic, as it is October, and I feel compelled to make all things pumpkin. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin bars, pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin bread. In fact, I had great plans for some quick, tasty pumpkin bread a while ago. The weather had started to chill nicely, so I threw on a sweater and some boots (one of my favorite parts of fall is that it is sweater/boot weather again) and ventured over to HPP. Much to my dismay, I found no pumpkin puree. "No matter," I thought, "I'll buy a baking pumpkin! I'll make my own pumpkin puree! It will be a breeze! La dee da!" A couple of hours later, after a lot of googling, pumpkin-sawing, failing at pumpkin-sawing, being rescued by strong men, scooping, roasting, and blending, I had my puree. It was by no means easy, but I do have to admit that it was fun. It was definitely an experience. And isn't that what this is all about? Crazy fun food experiences that I wouldn't normally think to go through in my normal pasta-cookies-soup-brocolli routine? I say yes. I enjoyed the challenge, and though in the end this tasted better than any other pumpkin bread I've ever had, I think it was more due to the recipe than the fresh puree. In the future, I'll stick to the store-bought stuff. Anyway, I recommend making pumpkin bread with fresh pumpkin once in your life, just for the hell of it.
Pumpkin Bread
How to prepare a baking pumpkin:
The following recipe calls for 15 oz of pumpkin puree, and I used a 2 1/2 lb baking pumpkin, which worked well. The bread was extremely moist, which may have been due to extra pumpkin? Maybe. But I thought it was delicious. If you're really keen on sticking to the letter of the recipe, I would buy a similar sized pumpkin, then measure out the exact amount. The leftover puree is sure to come in handy (I think it would be delicious on crackers, or maybe used in a frosting?). Also, as you'll see in the above pictures, I did not let the bread cool enough in the pan before attempting to flip it. The first one fell completely apart, so I let the second rest for another 45 minutes while I did some errands. Once cooled, I flipped it and it came cleanly out of the pan. I think this is a very important step. Lesson: be patient!
Things I learned over Labor Day weekend:
Number three became apparent to me after attempting to make an imitation of Girl Scouts' Thin Mint Cookies (which, I also learned, account for 1/4 of Girl Scout Cookie sales. Impressive for one little cookie, no?). Now, I don't really like mint-flavored things due to the fact that their taste resembles toothpaste, but even I have to admit that Thin Mints are pretty good. They also look pretty, all dipped and fancy. However, when I went to the store to buy 1 1/2 pounds of bittersweet chocolate required by this recipe, I was faced with a choice of either semi-sweet or unsweetened chocolate. Silly me thought, "Well, it says bittersweet and unsweetened is very bitter, so I'll get 2 packages of unsweetened and 1 package semi-sweet. La dee da dee da." Heh. Wrong. In fact, this whole recipe went a little wrong. I didn't really have enough butter, nor did I shape the roll of cookie dough correctly before chilling it, leaving an unfortunate hole in the middle of all the cookies. This mostly went away when baking (probably due to the fact that I mashed a bunch of extra dough into the holes). And then the dipping process. Oh lordy. I couldn't get the cookies to drain off the excess chocolate without breaking them, so I ended up with either an extremely thick layer of chocolate or broken cookie bits. I thought, "Oh well, what's wrong with a bunch of extra chocolate on top of the cookie?" A LOT. They were mighty bitter, my friends. So much so that halfway through I ended up pouring sugar into the melted chocolate, stiffening it up a bit and making it impossible to dip anything into. Finally, I just gave up and drizzled it over the top. Which, actually turned out a lot better - the cookies were tastier without all that bitterness and, in my opinion, prettier. If I were to make these again, I would probably dip them in German baking chocolate, and I might add a little more mint - it kind of got lost after baking. Anyway, if you're brave enough, here's the recipe:

AP v. Meltwater: Disappointing Ruling for News Search
BY CORYNNE MCSHERRY AND KURT OPSAHL, Electronic Frontier Foundation
A federal district judge in New York City issued a troubling
today holding that an electronic news clipping service infringed copyright when it republished excerpts of news stories in search results for its clients seeking news coverage based on particular keywords.
The case is
Associated Press v. Meltwater
. Meltwater is a private subscription service that scans news sites for stories relevant to its clients and then delivers the search results in the form of short excerpts from, and links to, the original articles. News service Associated Press claimed the search results infringed its copyrights in the news articles included within them. Meltwater argued that its service was a noninfringing fair use. EFF filed an
amicus brief
supporting Meltwater. Ā
The court's fair use analysis is worrisome in at least three respects. First, the court concluded that Meltwater's purpose was not transformative because it neither added commentary or insight to the excerpts it sent to customers nor served the same information-finding goal as a search engine like Google.Ā Why not? In a nutshell, apparently because it was not public and not very successful at getting its customers to click through to the original articles.Ā Given that the court devoted several pages of text explaining how Meltwater was like a search engine (i.e., it scans the web for news and creates an index that allows customers to search for relevant information) it is difficult for us to see why the fairness of its purpose should turn on its success at getting customers to actually click through the links it provided. The court took great care to distinguish what it saw as "legitimate" search engines -- but we can expect more litigation over what counts as "legitimate."
Second, the court implicitly adopted AP's dangerous "heart of the work" theory.Ā AP contended that sharing excerpts of a news article must weigh against fair use if those excerpts contain the lede.Ā The court stressed that the lede is "consistently important" and takes "significant journalistic skill to craft." But that is beside the point -- there is no extra protection because something is extra difficult. More important to the fair use analysis is the fact that (1) is primarily factual; and (2) contains precisely the information the user wishes to make known to others. As we explained in our amicus brief, this case illustrates why the heart of the work doctrine does not mesh well with highly factual, published, news articles. When it comes to news articles, an excerpt that is shared will very often be the most "important" aspect of the work -- but that importance will derive from the uncopyrightable factual content, not the expression. It is not the "heart of the work," but a piece of the factual skeleton upon which the expression hangs.
Third, the court discounted the value of
robots.txt files
to provide permission.Ā Robots.txt files give sites a tool to disallow (or allow) certain crawlers, and other courts have sensibly looked to robots.txt to find whether there was permission to include a site in search results. The default is permission, which a file can remove. This voluntary system has been vital to the development of tool to help users find material online. While the court does not directly disagree with the leading robots.txt cases, it finds they do not apply here.
There's a lot more in this 91-page ruling, much of it troubling. Meltwater has
"We're considering all of our options, but we look forward to having this decision reviewed by the Court of Appeals."

Losing pounds to help raise charity pounds
Posted: January 04, 2013|
A FUNDRAISER is hoping to make big bucks while shedding weight during 2013.
Alan Jones, of west Hull, is hoping to raise £5,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support and lose 6st.
He will be hitting the gym and completing fitness challenges, such as cycling from John O'Groats to Land's End.
Alan, 22, said: "I've been overweight for quite some time and never really had the motivation to do anything about it.
"I saw on the internet a few people had done charity challenges so I thought that would be a good incentive.
"At the moment I weigh 18st 4lb and my target weight is 12st 4lb."
Alan, who is a store manager at Cash Converters in Spring Bank, Hull, says he chose Macmillan as it is a charity close to his heart.
Five years ago, his grandma Lucy Jones died from lung cancer.
His other grandma, Margaret Spurgeon, passed away from the same illness 18 months ago.
Alan said: "The Macmillan nurses helped our family a lot.
"When my mum split from my dad she went to live with my grandma for a while and when they found out she had lung cancer she took it very hard.
"Macmillan is therefore a charity very close to our hearts.
"I hope my grandmas are proud of what I am doing."
Alan kick-started his new regime on January 1.
He has signed up to a gym and has vowed to workout before and after work.
He said: "I went for a run on New Year's Day and it almost killed me.
"It is definitely going to be difficult to start with.
"I want to start eating correctly and get my fitness levels up to do marathons, walking challenges and cycle rides."
Events on Alan's hit-list for 2013 are the Brighton Marathon, a cycle from Land's End to John O'Groats and a coast-to-coast walk from Liverpool to Robin Hood's Bay.
He said: "My friends and family are very supportive but some think it is a bit much for me to take on.
"I work full-time so the main thing will be fitting it in."
Alan admits his former habits were the reason for his steady increase in weight.
Without set times for lunch, he would often eat at unusual hours at work.
After a day's labour, he would be too tired to cook for himself and often ordered takeaways.
Alan said: "When I get home on a night now I'm heading straight to the gym.
"Before I would eat whenever I was hungry and was going for the easy option all the time.
"I'd go to the chippy down the road.
"I got lazy and stopped walking as much when I started driving."
Exercise has been non-existent for the past few years, but now Alan does cardio workouts before work and hits the gym afterwards as well.
He is hoping friends and family will support and sponsor him during the year in order to raise the £5,000 target.

Something unexpected.
A quick question to you all out there about something I learnt yesterday.
I am doing a topic at uni called "Metal Health, Mental Illness" and in my tutorial yesterday we were talking about stigma reduction. The point was then raised by my tutor that a very large portion of mental health stigma actually comes from the health professionals themselves (Doctors, nurses, health promotion officers etc.. the list is large).
I was personally quite shocked to hear this. How can something we're trained to be treating and help manage be so stigmatised by our own professions? But it happens. It's much easier to label a client/patient by their diagnosis than to learn their name and background, but it doesn't make it ethical or productive. Care provided is meant to be 'patient-centred'.
Does finding out something like this surprise you? I'd be interested to know. Especially if you'd had experience with such stigma in the past!

Gulf Wars was a victorious event for Ansteorra! Many a great tale have been told by those arriving back from the war. Lady Runa, Lord Alaric, Ladys Tirasia and Meribellis were just a few who traveled from our lands to the war. I ame sure that they have many stories to tell of the event! We have our Defender Event to plan. We will need each officer to tend to their areas of responsability for the event to run smoothly. The knight marshal, rapier marshal, A&S minister and herald will need to coordinate with last years champions to insure all the events activities are organized and any needs are met. Equestrian and archery will need coordinaters as will the brewing and vintning competition. Hopefully our event stewart will be chosen soon to help with the organizing of the event! If intrested please contact the Seneschal Lady Giovanna. Lastly, it is with great mourning that I share with you the passing of Lady Lorrain Fraiser our past equestrian champion and dear friend of the barony. While many of our kingdom were attending gulf wars she slipped off silently at her home near the coastal lands of Stargate. She will be missed by many. The equesterian arena feels the loss of one of it's finest champions. I hope we all remember her in the way she loved life and shared with any one who wanted to learn about horsemanship.

Last week the teachers and staff members received grants, awards and a free dinner, but more importantly they received appreciation.
The Valley City Public School District held its annual Teacher Appreciation Banquet at the Hi-Liner Activity Center last week, where 20 staff members - three of them retiring this year - were honored for their service to the district, and Carmelle Kuehn was named "Teacher of the Year."
The Teacher of the Year award recipient is based on input from students, staff and administration.
Students in grades 9-12 from Valley City High School were recognized for their achievements in fine arts Monday evening at the Hi-Liner Activity Center.
Awards were given in various fine arts programs at VCHS to students who excelled in various programs of fine arts throughout the school year.
The evening began with speech awards. Guest speaker Kristofer Kracht, a 1996 VCHS graduate, spoke to the audience about his time on Mrs. Langdahl's VCHS speech team.
The April Students of the Month for Valley City Jr High School are Hunter Olstad, Brelynn Komrosky, Tabatha Branum, and Erik Milender. The criteria for selection is being a hardworking student, respect for staff and peers, and involvement in school activities.
Hunter Olstad, 7th grade, is the son of Mike and Jackie Olstad. His favorite subjects in school are social studies and science. Involvement in extracurricular activities are tennis, golf, and theater. Hunter's hobbies are drama, science, and tennis.
If you want to spend some high-quality time with your children, look no farther than your backyard or community garden.
Gardening with your children offers an opportunity to relax, be active and have fun together while preparing them for life.
The National Gardening Association surveyed garden program leaders and found that gardening improves the following characteristics in children:
*Environmental attitudes
*Social skills
*Leadership skills
*Nutritional attitudes
*Scholastic achievement
The Valley City Area Concert Association had its very last concert Thursday, May 10, and has ended as an organization. "A total decapitation of our executive board combined with a shrinking and aging audience and increasing costs it's just been harder and harder to make these concerts happen," explained Wes Anderson, who is a volunteer member of the concert association board.
Their last of many concerts usually held in VCSU's Vangstad Auditorium or Froemke Auditorium featured "METALES M5," Mexico's finest young brass quintet whose members live in and around Mexico City.
NOME – The Barnes County Water Resource District Board met Monday with an agenda that included the Thordenskjold Drain Assessment District in the southeast portion of the county and a proposed outlet on Ten Mile Lake in the northwestern section of the county.
The assessment district for the Thordenskjold drain near Nome has grown from less than 8,000 acres to 23,400 acres.
Remember when Saturday Night in your hometown was a big deal? Everyone came to town to meet up with friends and enjoy visiting, shopping, dancing, eating, and cruising!
Two local mechanics have shown the state, AAA and the Ford Motor Company they know their way around an automobile.
Sheyenne Valley Area Career and Technology Center Students Brandon Compson and Dillon Baasch were at the West Fargo Fairgrounds with their automotive technology instructor Jim McFadgen to compete in the state finals of the 2012 Ford AAA Student Automotive Skills competition. The pair took second place for their efforts.
Tech center director Jeff Bopp said he received a picture from McFadgen on his phone of the winning team.
A Valley City man was honored by the Valley City Education Association as the 2011 "Friend of Education" at Wednesday night's teacher appreciation banquet at Valley City High School.
Local carpenter and Vietnam war veteran Dean Pedersen received the award, which is given to people who support education in extraordinary ways without being an employee of the district.
Pedersen, who was blinded by a hand grenade during the war, speaks to the freshman English classes during their unit on Vietnam.
Family and friends described the late Jodi Kvien Opatz in numerous ways-- caring compassionate and protective. "She would do anything for me," said her son Jaustin, 10.
Opatz passed away Friday, only two days before she was to celebrate Mother's Day with Jaustin, his brother Jaiden, 15, and sister Jara, 13.
On a Facebook page created in memory of Opatz, her eldest son Jaiden wished her a happy Mother's Day on Sunday. Others shared their memories, one recalling her beautiful smile.

A Piper Saratoga PA-32R-301T (similar aircraft pictured) was lost while making a landing approach at night to Moree Airport in New South Wales in Australia on March 30, 2011. The aircraft was flying under night VFR with a pilot and five passengers aboard, and was inbound from Brewarrina Airport NSW when witnesses observed the aircraft on a low approach path flying towards runway 19.
The aircraft came in contact with trees and collided with level terrain about 1800ft short of the runway 19 threshold.
The pilot and three of the five passengers were fatally injured, while the remaining two passengers seated in back sustained serious injuries. The aircraft was seriously damaged by the ground impact. The ATSB's investigation did not reveal any systemic safety issues with the aircraft, but the pilot had not satisfied the recency requirements of his NVFR rating and the aircraft was determined to have been in excess of its maximum allowable weight.
The ATSB believes the Saratoga's center of gravity was probably outside the range specified in the aircraft's flight manual, with the potential for diminished pitch control.

NYFS Partners With Caroline Previdi FoundationSaturday, May 17, 2014
Newtown Youth & Family Services has partnered with The Caroline Previdi Foundation to offer financial support to families whose children may not otherwise be able to participate in select extracurricular activities.
The foundation was created in memory of Caroline Previdi, one of the children killed on 12/14. Its goal is to support children in Newtown and surrounding communities with the financial means to participate in activities, including, but not limited to dance camp, art classes, and music lessons.
Many Made The Road Race SuccessfulWednesday, September 4, 2013
To the Editor:
On behalf of the race organizers, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in the eighth annual Newtown Road Race 5K. We had the largest-ever field of 687 registered runners in this year's 5K and more than 130 smiling children participate in the kids fun run. This race would not be possible without the financial support of our sponsors and our incredibly hard working volunteers. All proceeds of the race benefit Newtown Youth and Family Services.

Potato Casserole with Tomatoes, Green Beans and Carrots
- Yield 6 servings
The potatoes in this casserole get a flavor from carrots, thyme, tomatoes and broth—the salty cheese is almost an afterthought.
The casserole can be prepared ahead, covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before baking.
- 1 1/2 pounds unpeeled Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups green beans, broken into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 cups thinly sliced carrots
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced, peeled tomatoes, or 1 3/4 cups diced peeled tomatoes
- 1 cup canned less-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup (2-ounces) grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
- Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce heat, partially cover and blanch 7 minutes or until tender. Drain.
- Preheat oven to 425F. Grease a 3-quart baking dish.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beans and carrots; cook, mixing occasionally, 12 minutes or until brown in spots and tender. Lower heat if browning too quickly. Remove from heat; sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper and mix to combine.
- Arrange half the potatoes in baking dish. Top with vegetables, undrained tomatoes and remaining potatoes. Pour broth over top and sprinkle with cheese. Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Serves 6 to 8.

Lawrence Delevingne has got Davos completely wrong: his list of "The Only 12 Davos Panels Worth Paying Attention To" is in fact a list of the 12 panels which can be safely ignored by just about all the delegates here. Larry Summers is more likely to turn up with only one chin than he is to commit anything approaching news in his Saturday discussion with Charlie Rose. People looking for interesting investment ideas would probably be better served by something like the "What is Life?" panel on Wednesday -- and they'll certainly find it much more interesting.
As Davos has embraced increasing numbers of journalists over the years, the alpine gabfest has developed a public face where CEOs and VIPs give us all the benefit of their best thinking on issues of global importance. But that's not really what Davos is about. At its best, Davos is a way of learning a great deal about things you didn't know you had any interest in; of meeting people you'd never otherwise meet or even know existed; and of giving human three-dimensionality to people whom you'd previously thought of just as simplistic caricatures. (At its worst, of course, Davos is a malign enabler of systemically-damaging hubris, but that's a different story.)
In any case, if you think of Davos as some kind of Sunday-morning talk show where you passively sit back and listen to Important People talk about international capital flows and the global macroeconomic outlook, you're pretty much missing the point. When Davos works, it does so by bringing interesting people together and sparking conversations. But those conversations usually happen on the sidelines, on couches in the conference center or in hotel bars around town. They rarely happen in the formal sessions, and they never happen in the big formal sessions with heads of state and other marquee names.
The fact is that if you're not here, Davos is not for you. You can try to watch a few webcast panels, but you'll probably drift off very quickly. It's the action off-screen which keeps the plutocrats coming back.

BUFFALO, NY ( release ) New York State Senator Grisanti was named the winner of the 2012 William B. Hoyt Environmental Excellence Award for his outstanding work on behalf of conservation and the environment.
"Typically we present this Award to members of the legislature who had a long tenure of fighting for change, but your early dedication to upholding the New York's State's environmental laws and your visionary approach to the state's most pressing conservation issues make you stand out as a most deserving 2012 Hoyt Award Recipient," said Audubon Council of New York State in the award letter.
The Audubon Council is comprised of 27 Affiliated Audubon Chapters throughout New York State whose membership exceeds over 50,000 households.
"I am absolutely humbled by this award named in honor of William B. Hoyt for his contributions and work in the environmental community", said Senator Grisanti. I am also honored to be on share this award with a very impressive list of prestigious lawmakers like former Governors' George Pataki and Eliot Spitzer, current Comptroller Tom DiNapoli and Sam Hoyt from Western New York."
Senator Grisanti is in his second year as a lawmaker in Albany and currently chairs the Senate's Environmental Conservation Committee. Senator Grisanti passed groundbreaking legislation in his committee to protect water resources, wildlife and habitat.
"To say you hit the ground running as the new Environmental Conservation Committee Chair in the state Senate is an understatement. We were impressed by how quickly you became a steadfast supporter of the Environmental protection fund, helping to maintain the fund in an otherwise challenging budget," said Audubon Council of New York State in the award letter.
The last recipient from Western New York to receive this award was former New York State Assemblyman Sam Hoyt in 2001, son of the late William B. Hoyt from whom the award is named after.

University of Minnesota pharmacists are preparing for the future of medicine... and that means more face time with their patients.
It's a growing trend in pharmaceutical medicine: pharmacists are learning to do much more than just fill out prescriptions. At the U of M, the curriculum and residency program are becoming more geared towards patient interaction and managing patients' medication.
In fact, just last year alone U of M pharmacists at Fairview clinics saw more than 4,000 patients for medication management sessions.
"Medications are a huge part of how we manage health, so having that expertise is becoming more recognized and incorporated," said Sarah Westberg with the U's College of Pharmacy.
Medication management sessions between patients and pharmacists are up 70 percent in the last five years within the U of M/Fairview network.

Learn more about I Am ... Sasha Fierce (Deluxe):
Manufacturer: Cbs/epic/wtg Records
Sku: 209741583
See more in R&B / Soul
|"The new record is a double album and has two covers, like a magazine would have two covers," Beyonce revealed. "One of the covers is named I Am... and the second cover is named Sasha Fierce. That is my alter ego and now she has a last name. I have someone else that takes over when it's time for me to work and when I'm on stage, this alter ego that I've created that kind of protects me and who I really am. That's why half the record, I Am... is about who I am underneath all the makeup, underneath the lights, and underneath all the exciting star drama. And Sasha Fierce is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken side and more glamorous side that comes out when I'm working and when I'm on the stage. The double album allows me to take more risks and really step out of myself, or shall I say, step more into myself, and reveal a side of me that people only know me see."
The Deluxe Edition of I Am...Sasha Fierce features five bonus tracks that further explore the emotional depths of Beyonce and her alter ego.

On June 4, 1873 when Jacques and Joseph Montgolfier tested out one of their new flying machines, a hot air balloon, it settled down about 7-8 minutes after takeoff. A huge success, except to the peasant workers who believed it was the moon was falling from the sky. They attacked it and destroyed it.

This fucking butt baby pays to have a card made then goes out and buys himself dinner. He then eats his food (no doubt with a raging boner the entire time) knowing full well at the end he is going to leave this dick smell of a card for the person who served him instead of a tip. What a load of cock dust.
First of all, Prop 30 is a California state proposition to help fund schools. It has nothing to do with Obama. Regardless, it also only affects those who make $250k or more a year. Yet this walking talking flacid dick still leaves it.

I hope he saved some of that precious discretionary spending by only printing enough of those dicky cards to leave just one for each restaurant in town. Because goddess (and universal healthcare) help him if he goes back to a place where he pulled that assholish, cowardly move a second time.

6 Vikings-Lions Storylines To Watch This WeekPosted by on September 26, 2012 – 6:30 am
The Vikings may be coming off a momentum-generating win last week against the San Francisco 49ers, but they have redemption on their mind this week. This weekend the Vikings will travel to Detroit for a battle against the Lions, a team that swept the season series from them a season ago. The season sweep for Detroit was their first over the Vikings since 1997, and the Lions have now won the past three games against the Vikings.
There's a lot to talk about in previewing this matchup, and we'll get it started by pointing out 6 storylines we'll be chasing this week…
1. Jerome Simpson Debuts For Vikings
The Vikings signed WR Jerome Simpson last April and he immediately developed a rapport with QB Christian Ponder, an encouraging development for the Vikings as they looked to add speed and explosiveness to their passing game. Simpson had to serve a 3-game suspension to begin the season. That suspension is now over, and Simpson was reinstated to the team on Monday. A big question this week is: How will Simpson fit into the Vikings offense?
We saw quite a bit of Simpson during the offseason program and training camp. Then we saw him briefly in the preseason, with the highlight being a 33-yard catch-and-run in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills in which he caught a quick slant and hurdled a defender before being tackled downfield. That's the kind of athleticism that has many expecting Simpson to add some flare to this Vikings passing attack. This week we get to see Simpson in the Vikings offense during the regular season for the first time.
2. Vikings First (and last, for a while) Crack At Division Opponent
Sunday's contest marks the first divisional test for the Vikings, and it'll be the Lions first game in the NFC North, too. The Lions will jump right back into divisional play in three weeks, with a Monday Night Football matchup against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. But the Vikings won't see a division opponent again until Week 10, when they host the Lions at Mall of America Field. It's an odd scheduling quirk for the Vikings, as they play just two divisional games in the first 11 weeks of the season, and both of those divisional games are against the same opponent.
The Vikings are keepers of the NFC North, boasting more division titles since their inception into the League in 1961 than any other franchise. Lately, though, the Vikings have not taken care of business within the division. The Vikings last division win was September 26, 2010 at home against these Lions, and their last road win in the division was on November 1, 2009 at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. This week the Vikings have a chance to start regaining supremacy within the division.
3. Can Ponder Keep It Going vs. Lions Pass Defense?
Vikings QB Christian Ponder is off to a solid start in 2012. He's completing 70.1% of his passes, good for 2nd in the NFL, and he has generated a passer rating of 104.9, good for 5th in the NFL. On the flip side, only four teams are allowing opposing QBs to complete a higher percentage of their passes than the Lions, and only three teams have yielded a higher opponents' passer rating that the Lions. Can Ponder keep it going against Detroit? Don't be surprised if the game comes down to that question. Granted, Vikings RB Adrian Peterson has a per-carry average of 5.2 yards and 8 rushing TDs against Detroit in 9 games, so a large focus for both teams when the Vikings have the ball will be on the running game. But whether it's because the Vikings want to be aggressive, the Lions slow down the Vikings ground game, or the Vikings need a quick score late in the game, there's a good chance Ponder will have an opportunity to test this Lions pass defense.
4. Lions vs. Harvin, Vikings vs. Megatron
A wide receiver has been the most dynamic weapon for each of these offenses during the young season. For the Vikings, it's been Percy Harvin. He leads the NFL with 27 receptions and he's 7th in receiving yards as well. When you combine his receiving and rushing yards, Harvin has 319 total yards (30% of the Vikings offensive output).
For the Lions, Calvin Johnson has led the way. He's 3rd in the NFL with 24 receptions and 1st with 369 yards. While he has just 1 TD to this point, Johnson does have 9 plays already of 20+ yards (the next closest Lions has 2) and he has accounted for twice as many 1st downs (18) as any other Lions non-QB.
A big factor in this week's game, obviously, will be how each team's defense fares in neutralizing the opponent's #1 threat. The difficulty for Detroit is how versatile Harvin can be because the Vikings line him up everywhere, from the slot to out wide to in the backfield and then of course as a kickoff returner. The difficulty for the Vikings is Johnson's size-speed combination. He simply overpowers defenders of all types.
5. Vikings Offensive Line Faces Another Nasty Defensive Line
Not many defensive fronts have been nastier than the San Francisco 49ers the past couple seasons. Last Sunday, though, the Vikings offensive line was even nastier. They paved the way for Vikings rushers to gain 146 yards – the most any team has gained on the ground against the 49ers since 2010 – and offense as a whole generated 344 yards, which is the 5th highest total against the 49ers over their last 19 games. It may have been the offensive line's best performance over the past two seasons.
The time for looking back on that performance is over, though, because the Vikings offensive line has another tough assignment this week. While the numbers through three games don't necessarily show it, this is a talented Detroit defensive line. A pair of disruptive DTs – N'Damukong Suh and Cory Williams – anchor the line and then left DE Cliff Avril and right DE Kyle Vanden Bosch come from the edge. Nick Fairley adds good depth at DT as well, and this group of 5 players have accounted for all 7.0 of the Lions sacks this season. The Lions have permitted 13 rushes of 10+ yards this season (3rd worst in the NFL) and they've forced just 4 three-and-out drives (tied for fewest in NFL), so there are opportunities for the Vikings offensive line to expose flaws.
6. Is This The Week Adrian Peterson Registers A Breakout Performance?
Adrian Peterson's comeback from knee surgery has been remarkable. His presence in the lineup for Week 1 was inspirational to both his teammates and fans, and he's played an important role in both of the Vikings victories this season. But he's yet to have a trademark Adrian Peterson performance in 2012 – the kind of performance that keeps fans on the edge of their seats the entire game. Peterson has gained 84, 60 and 86 yards in his first three games, and he's averaging 4.0 yards per carry. Not bad, but again, it's not the standard Peterson has created over his first five seasons.
This week presents Peterson with a great chance to author a signature performance. The Lions have a talented and deep defensive line, but as we pointed out in headline #5, this is a defense that has allowed 13 explosive runs already this season. On top of that, Peterson has a great track record against the Lions. In 9 career games against Detroit, Peterson has 169 carries for 892 yards (5.2 yards per carry) and 8 rushing TDs. In his second career game against the Lions back in 2007, Peterson ran for 116 yards and 2 TDs on 15 carries, and he followed that up with a pair of 100-yard rushing games in 2008. In November of 2009, Peterson rushed for 133 yards and 2 TDs on 18 attempts, and the next season on September 26 he rushed for 160 yards and 2 more TDs on 23 carries, including his career-long rushing TD of 80 yards.

Living in Clifton a few years back, I noticed a family of rats had formed a small community in the courtyard of my apartment building, near a dumpster. I loved Clifton, but I wasn't sure the neighborhood was right for the rats (they just didn't seem interested in what was playing at The Esquire), so when I got inside I shot an email to my property manager. The next afternoon, the rats were gone. The city of Cincinnati never knew about these rats (much less the family farm that I'm sure took them in). I didn't file a report with city services, and I'm sure my property manager didn't, either. So, in a sense – and I don't mean to get philosophical here, but it's about to happen so watch out – it's like they didn't exist.
For the past couple months I've been exploring whether the city of Cincinnati's 311 data can be used to predict when and where the next infestation of rats, mice, or roaches will occur in the city's 52 neighborhoods. (Cincinnati also has a severe bed bug problem, but I'm saving that issue for another day.) As you can imagine, it's been tough slogging – partly, I think, due to stories like the one I described above (i.e. the case of the rats that never were), but mostly because it's difficult to account for all of the factors that attract rats to one location but keep them far away from another. At the same time, I've made a number of interesting discoveries that could prove useful in preventing breakouts in Cincinnati.
For instance, the most reliable predictor of a future infestation-related 311 request is a previous infestation-related 311 request received within the same neighborhood sometime in the previous seven days. Given what we all know about rats – that the only thing that multiplies faster are breweries in OTR – this finding doesn't come as much of a surprise, but it is nonetheless useful from a modeling perspective, and also suggests that the city should not treat infestations in isolation. If rats, mice, or roaches are reported in a house in Oakley, then the surrounding block should at the very least receive information about prevention.
Pairing the city's 311 data with data from the American Community Survey has also allowed me to examine whether factors such as population density, per capita income, poverty rates, and access to resources such as quality schools and health care help explain why different neighborhoods in Cincinnati respond differently to the various triggers of infestation (they do), which not only increases the reliability of my model but also increases its usefulness. For instance, I've got pretty strong evidence that suggests the city should not simply respond to requests on a "first reported, first served" basis; instead, precedence should be given to whatever request carries with it the highest risk of causing more infestations, be it for reasons of geography, affluence, or prior infestations at that same address. This approach would not only direct the city's resources toward the people who need them most, but would also allow the city to use those resources more efficiently since treating one breakout in a neighborhood would be less costly than treating multiple.
Finally, I should point out that I'm not the first to approach this problem using 311 data. Data Analysts in Chicago's Department of Innovation and Technology (in partnership with Carnegie Mellon's Event and Pattern Detection Laboratory) took a similar approach to modelling the Chicago's rodent infestations, and in 2013 – the year the city put the DoIT's results into use – requests for rodent control services dropped by 15%. The work I've done with Cincinnati's 311 data suggests that wouldn't be an unreasonable goal here.

To prepare for the Open Data Startup Weekend event, I've been reading The Innovators Solution, which makes me think in more depth about the benefit of open data and open source technology to networks, communities, and organizations.
Let's start by focusing on open source…
Watch and listen to Jeff present open source software to a local audience including members of his local government. Be like Jeff.
On one story, [Raquel Rutledge, investigative reporter for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel] had a stack of 1,800 PDFs and wanted to tally one field of data from each record to determine the public burden imposed by a tax subsidy. Counting manually was a waste of time, but no one in government said they had the total.
"I just wanted this one number, this one field, but I wanted it for all 1,800," Rutledge said. "Well, this 23-year-old dude comes out, writes a little code, and boom-boom-boom-bam: In a couple of hours we have a number that no one had ever seen before.
It was a $29 million program. A $29 million burden on the rest of the state. I requested it a million different ways from county people and no one had ever counted it. That is such a huge public service. Hiring that kid was just one of the best things you could do."

Broad Collection Sues Seele over Problematic Los Angeles Museum Facade
Thursday, June 5, 2014
Sam Lubell.
In a recent interview, Diller Scofidio + Renfro Senior Associate Kevin Rice told AN that the "veil" at Los Angeles' Broad Museum—a facade made of hundreds of molded Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) panels, had been delayed by over a year. "Some of the things took longer to make than they thought, but there aren't really problems with it," Rice said.
But now it looks like the issues with the museum's facade are more severe than initially thought.

This year's mid-season trade market is affected by the new rules in the CBA signed last winter. As many of you know, teams cannot get compensation draft picks for players they picked up during the season. This hurts the trade value of players who are in their final year of a contract. It also eliminates the reason for the Miguel Olivo trade a day before free agency began, giving the Blue Jays an extra 2nd round comp. pick for the Type B free agent. Instead of trading for the player and the subsequent draft picks, the team receiving the player only gains the services of that player.
Here is a shortened list compiled of draft picks tied to the compensation of Type A free agents.
|Free Agent
|Pick #1
|Pick #2
|Mark Teixeira
|Mike Trout
|Tyler Skaggs
|Torii Hunter
|Carlos Gutierrez
|Shooter Hunt
|Carlos Lee
|Blake Beavan
|Julio Borbon
|Frank Catalanotto
|Blue Jays
|Kevin Ahrens
|Justin Jackson
|Tom Gordon
|Ian Kennedy
|Joba Chamberlain
|Orlando Cabrera
|Red Sox
|Jacoby Ellsbury
|Jed Lowrie
|Derek Lowe
|Red Sox
|Craig Hansen
|Michael Bowden
|Pedro Martinez
|Red Sox
|Clay Buchholz
|Jonathan Egan
|3 guys
|Nick Swisher
|Joe Blanton
|Mike Hampton
|Aaron Heilman
|David Wright
Of course, I have to start the list with the most unfortunate Braves move in recent memory. While Teixeira performed very well for the Braves, the packages in the transactions really hurt the team. I say the haul going to the Rangers is still worse, but the backside of the trade is nearly as bad. The players received from the Angels, Casey Kotchman and Stephen Marek, were essentially of no value, while the Angels used the compensation picks for Tex on Trout and Skaggs, the key component of the Dan Haren trade. I'm not saying the Braves would have picked those two, but the thought that they could have is a bit haunting.
Going down the list, you realize that most teams don't hit on their comp. picks that well. The Twins missed on the picks of losing Hunter and the Blue Jays on losing Catalanotto, though I have no idea how he was a Type A free agent. The Yankees did well with the Gordon picks and the Mets with the Hampton picks.
After winning the '04 World Series, the Red Sox lost 3 Type A's, giving them six extra picks, of which three were good and three were poor. The Moneyball A's draft of '02 gave Oakland the same amount of picks, with them only hitting on two of those picks, while the other four never reached the majors. The MLB draft is the biggest crapshoot of them all, which I believe makes this an over-rated portion of the trade negotiations. Since the top 10 picks are protected, you rarely find All-Star level talent after that (Trout, Ellsbury, Wright as the exceptions). Also, with the new draft pool spending limits, overpaying for a late 1st round pick is harder, making the comp. picks less desirable.
Along with the lower value of the draft picks, the process may be overstated in general. To get compensation, the player would have to receive a qualifying offer after the season worth the average of the 125 largest contracts in the league. This year, that value looks to be between $12-13M. This eliminates nearly all relievers, so they may actually move more freely this month. Overall, there are probably 10-15 upcoming free agents who this could affect, and only about five who may be on the trade market.
As a team negotiating for someone like Zack Greinke or Cole Hamels, you should treat the Brewers' or Phillies' demands of losing the comp. picks as something around a MLB-average player and a marginal major leaguer. This, along with the 2-month rental of the great player, should not be too much more than a normal trade. It may deter teams trying to catch up to a playoff spot, but teams with good chances of the playoffs, such as the Braves, can't be scared to pull the trigger.

Sen. Kelly Ayotte: Important Sandy relief bill uses crisis to go on spending spree
But even with our nation $16.4 trillion in debt, some in Washington still believe that a crisis isn't something that should go to waste. And as additional Sandy relief legislation was written, a few members of Congress decided to use an emergency disaster recovery bill to give a free ride to millions in non-emergency spending. It's precisely the kind of irresponsible spending practice that is bankrupting our country.
With thousands of homes destroyed and businesses in ruins, we should prioritize emergency aid for Sandy's victims to recover, rebuild and return to normal. In December, when Congress first attempted to pass a relief bill, I voted in favor of a $24 billion package that would expedite aid to those who need it most urgently. This legislation was written based on addressing immediate needs - and it didn't include millions in spending that was unrelated to helping individuals and communities recover from last fall's devastating storm.
Unfortunately, the bill I voted for was defeated. And the Senate voted instead this week - without my support - to put taxpayers on the hook for a separate $50.5 billion package, larded up with money for projects far away from storm-ravaged areas of New York and New Jersey. When all is said and done, the combined cost of this bill and the initial $9.7 billion in aid - plus interest - will have increased the public debt by $70 billion.
When writing disaster relief legislation, Congress must distinguish between immediate emergency response needs and non-emergency, longer-term priorities that should be considered within the constraints of the federal budget. As the nation once again bumps up against the debt ceiling, we're reminded of the need to make tough choices when determining federal spending priorities - decisions that should occur as part of the traditional process of writing a budget, which the Senate has failed to do for nearly four years.
Instead of writing straightforward legislation focused on helping Sandy victims get back on their feet, the bill that Congress approved goes far beyond the devastated areas. Using important disaster relief legislation to pass unrelated spending is exactly the kind of thing that has the American people so frustrated with Washington, and rightfully so.
For example, such "emergency" Sandy funding includes $2 million for roof repairs at the Smithsonian in Washington, $4 million for the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and $16 billion that can be used in 47 states for past and future events from 2011 through 2013.
There's $10 million to buy the FBI new vehicles when it already has plenty of vehicles to repurpose, and $50 million in unrequested funds for the National Park Service.
The bill also provides $1.7 billion in highway spending that is not restricted to Sandy-impacted states and may be used for the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. This kind of spending should be carefully considered on the merits and paid for - not stuffed into emergency legislation to help Sandy disaster victims.
When total Sandy spending is added up, it's more than the annual budget for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. And it's more than twice the annual budget of the U.S. Energy Department.
It's important to understand that the legislation bypassed the committee process altogether, leaving no opportunity to carefully scrutinize spending it contained for 64 programs across 17 different agencies. While we should move quickly to deliver aid that is urgently needed, non-emergency funding should be carefully reviewed and prioritized by relevant congressional committees - not blindly passed as part of an important emergency relief bill.
Finally, if a main goal of the Sandy relief legislation that passed the Senate was to quickly get resources into the hands of those who need it most, the final product fell short. Under the measure that passed, only seven percent of funds - about $3.6 billion - would be spent over the next nine months. Seventy percent of the funding wouldn't be spent until 2015 and beyond.
Without question, we should help Hurricane Sandy victims with emergency relief legislation. But the days of using a crisis to pass bloated bills stuffed with non-emergency spending further burying us in debt must end.
