Second Harvest Food Bank
WARREN, OHIO (Warren Tribune Chronicle) - In 2011, close to 9 million pounds of food was distributed from Second Harvest Food Bank in Youngstown to help 13,000 people in need in the tri-county area, Executive Director Michael Iberis said, and the need is increasing.
The 21st annual Harvest for Hunger campaign kicked off Wednesday with area organizations, businesses and individuals being challenged to help the food bank restock.
''What you as volunteers are doing by raising funds helps us to replenish our shelves. The need is growing with many families facing hardships,'' Iberis said.
The monthlong food and funds drive in March helps stock shelves ahead of the spring and summer months, when donations taper off, Iberis said. In 2011, the Mahoning Valley raised $130,000 and collected more than 34,000 pounds of food.
Iberis said there has been an increase in need, especially for senior citizens and children.
A backpack program in Warren City Schools and other schools provides food for children over the weekends, including juice, cereal, crackers and peanut butter. He said that too often without the program, many children would not see much food over the weekend.
''Many children today realize their parents are struggling to put food on the table. Many of them are thinking where will their next meal come from," he said.
Becky Miller of the food bank said those not able to conduct a food or fund drives can drop off nonperishable food items at local Giant Eagle stores or at select Sparkle Markets.
Richard Banks, senior director of the Howland Giant Eagle, said fundraising teams and customers at the store helped in making a $52,337 donation the food bank.
Keith Knox of Lordstown, who is the regional director for Giant Eagle, said there is nothing as important as being able to help others and give back to the community.
Members of Girl Scout Troop 117 of Howland are among those planning fundraising to help the food bank with collections at Arby's in Howland and other locations.
The food bank distributes to 153 hunger relief organizations including church pantries, homeless shelters, and soup kitchen, battered women's shelters and after-school programs, Iberis said.

Is it really necessary to declaw chicken feet for use in stock
- Eric_Cartman Jul 4, 2012 04:57 PM
Im sorry. I dont think i will ever get used to chicken feet which creep me out. The less I have to handle them the better. Im not sure if there is really any purpose to declawing them if im just going to discard them after use.
They do end up very clean after the process, which is of small consolation to you and even less to the chicken. I recall a woman boarding the train I was riding at one of the many stops between Nuevo Laredo and Monterrey in 1971, selling her chicken tacos in a basket, and I was delighted to see a food vendor as I was so hungry. But seeing a whole chicken foot dangling from a taco was a turn-off and I waited until the next train stop.
I've always assumed it was a cleanliness issue, that nasty stuff was more likely to get stuck in the claw. But I've never trimmed them and never had any problems with my stock.
re: Hank Hanover
this. as long as you are buying from a market and not just killing your own, just toss the whole batch in the pot. i use feet, heads and backs for chicken bone broth.
Chicken feet from a store are quite clean. If you ever have a fresh-killed chicken, you have to process the feet yourself. Very easy. Just detach and pour boiling water over them. Then the dirty exterior skin layer slips right off. it looks and feels like a newly shed snake skin. You're left with perfectly clean chicken feet that have never touched the ground, suitable for soup stock or turning into one of the greatest of all dim-sum dishes.
re: Eric_Cartman
I would keep them frozen in little baggies to throw into stock. Just use 1 or 2 with the other bones and meat. I wouldn't use all of them at once. 1 or 2 will make sure you have a gelatinized stock.
re: greygarious
i used to roast chicken feet til brown and crispy, claws and all, as a treat for my dog. he LOVED them.
I never remove nails-
the feet make my jewish homestyle chicken soup taste great
what is missing r the nahala (Eggs-that used to come with chickens)

Intimate biopic finds cinematic son hunting musical father
Documentary filmmaking has a certain reportorial air about it, and there's an unspoken barrier that exists between documentarian and subject. Get too close and viewers might feel you've lost your objectivity. That's not a problem that seems to concern filmmaker Stanley Warnow. After all, the subject of his film is his father.

CACI International Inc (NYSE:CACI) today announced the next step in its growth strategy to pursue opportunities in its $72 billion Federal Civilian and $8 billion Business Systems markets by forming business groups dedicated to these markets, effective January 1, 2013. The new groups will build on the expansion of CACI's broad Federal Civilian, specialized Healthcare and Investigative and Litigation Support, and Business Systems work that has come about through organic growth as well as business and capabilities gained through acquisitions. These acquisitions include CACI's November 2012 purchase of healthcare IT provider Emergint Technologies, Inc.; the July 2012 purchase of financial management and business services provider Delta Solutions and Technologies, Inc.; and the October 2011 purchase of Oracle e-Business services provider Advanced Programs Group, LLC.
The new Federal Civilian Solutions business group will be headed by 14-year CACI veteran Rick Dansey, who will focus on leading the company's Federal Civilian, Healthcare, and Investigative and Litigation Support market strategies and capturing business across this broad client base. Mr. Dansey brings a strong track record as Senior Vice President that includes managing large-scale enterprise resource planning and business systems implementations. His contributions have been central to the growth of CACI's Federal Civilian capabilities, and he played a key role in CACI's acquisition of Emergint and Advanced Programs Group.
The new Business Systems Solutions business group will be headed by Valerie Lyons, who joined CACI as Senior Vice President in 2011 and who will focus on delivering Business Systems Solutions across CACI's entire client base. Ms. Lyons has led the implementation of multiple business systems engagements that have grown CACI's presence in this market and brought considerable productivity gains to its government clients. She has also been an essential contributor to CACI's mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities in its Business Systems market, most recently taking a lead role in the Delta acquisition.
Both business group leaders were recruited and developed into their roles by CACI Executive Vice President Gil Guarino, who informed the company of his intention to retire on October 1, 2012 and whose former organization, CACI's Transformation Solutions Group, now becomes the two new business groups.
CACI Executive Chairman Dr. J.P. (Jack) London and CACI's Board of Directors enthusiastically support the organizational alignment and conveyed their sincere gratitude for Mr. Guarino's considerable and ongoing contributions to CACI. Mr. Guarino joined CACI in 2004 through the acquisition of the team he led at American Management Systems, Inc., where he had enjoyed 15 years of increasing leadership achievement. In his eight years with CACI, Mr. Guarino successfully developed a high-performing team that continues to deliver innovative client solutions and contribute importantly to the company's growth and financial performance.
The new business groups report directly to CACI's Chief Operating Officer and President of U.S. Operations, John Mengucci, who said, "The success of our business in CACI's Federal Civilian/Healthcare/Litigation Support and Business Systems markets drove our decision to give more autonomy, focus, and resources to the individual teams overseeing these areas. Our new Federal Civilian Solutions and Business Systems Solutions business groups are the culmination of carefully planned leadership succession and the recommendations of retiring Executive Vice President Gil Guarino. They represent a continuity of leadership and operations that will be seamless to clients. Rick Dansey and Val Lyons bring solid credentials and strong client relationships to their new roles."
According to CACI President and Chief Executive Officer Dan Allen, "CACI continues to move quickly to seize opportunities in our addressable markets. In our $72 billion Federal Civilian and $8 billion Business Systems markets, we are capitalizing on organic and M&A growth by establishing our Federal Civilian Solutions and Business Systems Solutions business groups, led by highly experienced CACI leaders, to provide dedicated resources and personnel that will accelerate our growth momentum. This is an important component of our strategy for continually positioning CACI to add value to our clients' critical missions and deliver top returns for our shareholders."
CACI provides information solutions and services in support of national security missions and government transformation for Intelligence, Defense, and Federal Civilian clients. A member of the Fortune 1000 Largest Companies and the Russell 2000 Index, CACI provides dynamic careers for approximately 14,900 employees working in over 120 offices worldwide. Visit www.caci.com.

'Submarine' risk with new noses realised at season opener
'Submarine' risk with new noses realised at season opener 24 March, 2014 Adrian Newey's pre-season warnings about 'submarining' Formula 1 cars have already been realised. Red Bull's criticism of Formula 1′s all-new era had to be heard amid the depth of the reigning world champions' winter crisis after four consecutive seasons of dominance. Designer Newey, however, had expressed alarm about the new, low front noses, arguing not only that they are ugly, but they might also be dangerous. The reduced height minimised the risk of cars being launched into the air, but 'I am concerned the opposite may now happen, that cars now (will) submarine effectively,' the Briton had said....

The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to create new business models as significant as those that were inspired by the Internet and the smartphone 20 and 10 years ago. What business, social and practical implications will this phenomenon bring? That's the subject of "Monetizing the Internet of Things: Perspectives from the Front Lines," an e-book released today and available free of charge from Aria Systems, the leading innovator in recurring revenue management.
"'Monetizing the Internet of Things' is an invaluable primer for understanding some of the issues that companies will face as they launch into the new IoT era," said Jon Gettinger, vice president of marketing at Aria Systems, and one of the contributors to the e-book.
"Each chapter has been written by experts and professionals who have insight into monetization models that are disrupting traditional commerce models across all economic sectors," added Gettinger. "The authors discuss the challenges and opportunities that arise when developing an IoT strategy."
In addition to Gettinger, a veteran executive with more than two decades in the software industry, other contributors include Brendan O'Brien, co-founder and chief evangelist of Aria Systems and "the father of cloud billing;" Bob Harden, former director of billing solutions at Experian, now founder and principal of The Harden Group; Jeffrey M. Kaplan, managing Director of THINKStrategies and founder of the Cloud Computing Showcase, who will host a cloud summit on the IoT next month; Parker Trewin, senior director of content and communications at Aria Systems; Brian James, senior product marketing director of Aria Systems and Ariane Lindbloom, vice president of solution marketing at ServiceSource.
In the final edition, Aria Systems has added a bonus chapter from Adam Hanft, founder of Hanft Projects, a branding firm based in New York City. The title of his bonus chapter is "Will Connected Devices Disconnect the Family?" and offers insights about the social implications of the IoT.
Gettinger said contributor insights will help companies understand what they must do to prepare for the disruptions caused by the IoT and what steps they must take if they want to participate in the digital gold rush ahead.
The chapters include such topics as "Why the 'Internet of Things' is Important," "Two Ways the 'Internet of Things' Will Unlock Your Customers' Revenue Potential," "The 'Not So Simple Truth' of the IoT," "Personalizing the 'Internet of Things,'" "Pitfalls and Peril on the Road to Nirvana" and "What the IoT Can Learn from Nordstrom."

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality.

Marussia sporting director Graeme Lowdon has insisted the team are "working towards" ensuring Max Chilton retains his seat for the remainder of the season.
Lowdon claims "a change in circumstances" forced the Banbury outfit into a U-turn yesterday, less than 24 hours after axing Chilton ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix due to "contractual issues" and replacing him with reserve Alexander Rossi.
It was understood the numerous investors behind Chilton had failed to fulfil their financial obligations in recent weeks, forcing Marussia to act.
Rossi then drove in first practice at Spa-Francorchamps, only for the team to announce Chilton would return for second practice and the rest of the weekend.
Back behind the wheel of his car again, the 23-year-old Briton was 18th, five seconds behind Lewis Hamilton and 1.3secs off teammate Jules Bianchi.
Lowdon was unable to elaborate on the nature of the circumstances behind Chilton's return, which far from suggested the aforementioned issues had been resolved and another reason lay behind the reversal.
"It would be inappropriate for me to comment on the details of the contractual issues because that is confidential between parties involved," said Lowdon.
"So there is nothing we can really say on that. This is a result of a change in circumstances.
"Obviously it is not within the team's decision to unilaterally change a driver, we have to request it with the stewards, which we did, and the stewards approved it.
"It is important to highlight all of that happened before first practice. It was no reflection on any driving at all. I have to say Alex Rossi acquitted himself incredibly well."
As for the situation going forward and whether Chilton will now be with the team for the rest of the campaign, Lowdon added: "The intention of the team is that it (Chilton and Jules Bianchi) is our driver line-up and that is what it will be for the whole season.
"That is certainly what we are working towards.
"We have seen there are things that can cause hiccups and changes in that, and that is just how things are."
LEAFIELD outfit Caterham F1 have appointed Chipping Norton-based Sean Walkinshaw Racing, who race in the BRDC Formula 4 Championship, as their driver development team in this category.

No contract extensions for Hayward, Bledsoe; both to become restricted free agents
Nov 1, 2013, 1:15 AM EST
The deadline has come and gone and Gordon Hayward of the Utah Jazz and Eric Bledsoe of the Phoenix Suns, are without contract extensions to their rookie deals.
That means both of them, as well as Avery Bradley in Boston, will be restricted free agents next summer (any team can make an offer but the team they are on now has the right to match). A deep free agent class just got a little deeper.
All three of them are guys that their current teams said they wanted to keep, but the sides couldn't agree on a price — that could be an expensive proposition now as all of those players have fans around the league. Teams trying to lure a restricted free agent tend to offer above the market value for a player to scare off the team who has the rights, that very well may be what happens here.
Announcement: Pro Basketball Talk's partner FanDuel is hosting a one-day $25,000 Fantasy Basketball league tonight (Friday). It's just $10 to join and first prize is $3,500. Starts at 7pm ET. Here's the link.
Weeks ago the Jazz had seemed optimistic they could work out a deal with Hayward at first, but over the last 10 days reports had started to surface the two sides remained far apart. Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports had the details on Hayward and Utah.
The sides never came close on a deal, remaining several million dollars apart, league sources told Yahoo. Hayward had been seeking a deal in the four-year, $50-million plus range, sources said.
The Jazz gave Derrick Favors four years, $47 million extension earlier this summer. There were reports they offered Hayward more or at least the same one, but apparently that was not enough.
The Suns traded Jared Dudley as part of a three-team deal to get Bledsoe to be part of their guard tandem of the future.

It's gonna be fun to watch some team offer one of these full max just to screw with their current teams lol

…and then screw themselves.
- 00maltliquor - Nov 1, 2013 at 6:23 AM
Deep free agent class?? I keep hearing this on here and then when I go check for myself I find it to be weak as hell. There are like 3-4 big name players, none of which will leave their teams anyways, and dang near all the 2nd tier guys are restricted.
Not looking forward to next years FA class at all.

Add different stamps in different sizes, speech and thought bubbles, text, and more. They don't have GIF animation, or templates for your photos to be added to, so in this sense, Graphita has somewhat less features than PikiPimp or Comeeko.

How rain falls – not just how much – may alter landslide risk
New research finds that it's not just the amount of rain that falls on a hillside, but the pattern of rainfall that matters when trying to determine how likely a slope is to give way. This new information could improve forecasts of landslides, which are typically hard to predict, said the scientists conducting the research.
Different rainfall patterns—a short, heavy deluge, a light, steady downpour, or sporadic showers—will trigger different numbers of landslides with varying amounts of debris, according to the new study published today in Water Resources Research, a journal of the American Geophysical Union.

Detecting avalanches from sounds we can't hear
Researchers have developed a new avalanche monitoring method that uses sound below the range of human hearing to detect and track these deadly and destructive snow slides. The technique can detect an avalanche from the moment it starts, picking up the unheard thump of a rupture in the snowpack that can precede the snow cascade. It can then track the avalanche's path second by second down the mountain.
In a new study published last month in Geophysical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union, scientists report using an array of infrasound detectors on a mountainside to pick up low-frequency sound waves emitted from one of a series of January, 2012, avalanches in Idaho's Canyon Creek corridor.

This will push the jet-stream northward, and the downstream …

Many people make the mistake of thinking that dreams cannot come true, but they can. You have to believe, and know that they are more than just imagination.
On 20 February 2011, all of Egypt's archaeological sites and six of its antiquities museums reopened. In my opinion, the most important reopening was that of the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. After all the rumors surrounding the vandalism and thefts there I am happy to say that it is now truly safe. A complete inventory is still underway, but for now, it seems that relatively few objects are still missing. This is of course terrible, and we will continue to do everything we can to bring back these pieces as soon as possible; we still hope that they will turn up, as four of the objects that were originally reported as missing have been found already. However, it could have been far worse; all of the museum's most iconic masterpieces are safe.
Over 1500 Egyptians visited the museum on Sunday; I believe that they wanted to see if I was true to my word. Many brought flowers and made it clear that they wanted international tourists to return. I am glad to report that about 90 foreign tourists from Brazil, Japan, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands came to the museum. Tourists from both Egypt and abroad also visited Giza, Saqqara, and sites in Luxor.
Throughout this ordeal, there have been people who have been completely dishonest, and have tried, through their statements, to make the situation worse, in some cases by accusing me (in vague terms) of various inappropriate or even illegal behaviors. Of course, as even these people themselves know, none of these accusations has any basis in reality. When I was first appointed Minister of Antiquities Affairs, I thought my tenure might be very short, given the political situation. I did not care; I was only glad that the antiquities service had finally been given independence, and would no longer be under the Ministry of Culture. However, these attacks have convinced me that it is important for me to stay, so that I can continue to do everything in my power to protect Egypt's cultural heritage. I have written to Egypt's attorney general, asking him to look into some of the false accusations that have been made against me. I believe that addressing these issues will help stabilize the Ministry of Antiquities Affairs.
I also wish to clarify the situation concerning the many young people who have been protesting outside the Ministry of Antiquities Affairs office building, demanding jobs. On the one hand, I am thrilled to see how many young people are getting degrees in archaeology these days; I see this as a tribute to how much awareness among Egyptians of the importance of Egypt's cultural heritage has risen in the past decades. On the other hand, just as it was not possible for the Ministry of Culture to hire all of these recent graduates, it is still not possible for our new Ministry of Antiquities Affairs to hire everyone with a degree in archaeology. The reality is that people from all professions, and from all over the world, need work. As everyone knows, getting a degree in a certain subject is never a guarantee of a job in that field. However, continuing a policy of job creation within the antiquities department I began many years ago, I have worked very hard to find the funds to hire 900 new recruits, and will be pleased to offer the best of the current group of job applicants positions within the Ministry. This first phase of recruitment will provide the newly hired archaeologists and restorers paid training within the Ministry for a period of 5 months. A second phase will provide the same paid training for 500 additional recruits, and will be followed by a third phase in which 500 more graduates will be hired and trained.
Yesterday I met with a group of young archaeologists who were representatives of the protesters who have been picketing the Ministry building in recent days. These university graduates came to offer their apologies to me. The meeting was an impromptu event during which I was offered flowers by the students in a gesture of goodwill. The students made it clear that their protests were only held because previously there had been a lack of information about how the Ministry, formerly known as the Supreme Council of Antiquities, was trying to increase the number of jobs available for newly qualified archaeologists and restorers. Now that they understand the realities of the situation, they wished to express their appreciation, and their desire to work together for the benefit of Egypt's past and future.
