- Dad's birthdaybaxterDined on 11/8/2014My father loves Brooklyn, but doesn't live here. We live nearby, and the ten minute walk over alone delighted him. This perfectly nestled neighborhood gem is stacked with amazing food and drinks. We ordered Manhattans to start, and were seriously impressed by the unique smoothness. Turns out, they make their own Vermouth. They can't sell it by the bottle, but if this drink is up your alley, we recommend you give their's a shot. Dinner was delicious. Beef, pasta, seafood... We enjoyed it all. And Dad had a fantastic birthday.Special Features:
- CarciofoDined on 11/7/2014Real great Italian food, prepared with love. Everything on the menu has the same high quality. Not showy, simply delicious.Special Features:
- always steady and greatFoodboyDined on 11/7/2014We are regulars at Locanda Vini e Olii. In the last four years we've eaten here perhaps 30 times? Never, never have we had an even "off" night. The consistency is great, menus change with the seasons, yet long stand favorites remain. Wines are beautiful and range from great and inexpensive to superb and moderately pricey. We are treated like family, but the staff always asks if we are satisfied, happy, about the quality of the food. They want to please, always, and they work so hard to do so. We regret that it has become so well known, and on Open Table. Our wonderful neighborhood place is discovered, and sometimes we have a hard time getting in!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MemorableBoswellVIPDined on 11/6/2014Locanda Vini is a place that I love to go for a special evening out. Not only is the food delicious, and very different from most Italian restaurants in the city, but the ambience is so charming. The restaurant has kept the interior of a 100+ year old pharmacy with warm woodwork, cabinets and a sense of intimacy. The two combine for a unique experience.Special Features:

- hungrygrlhungrygrlVIPDined on 10/17/2014Our first dinner here as we could never get a reservation before, very positive experience all around. Noise level could be better, as with many other NYC restaurants, hard to have a decent conversation. We ( ll 4 of us )look forward to returning soon. Entree portions are a bit large for me, otherwise our meal was lovely.Special Features:
- ugly cookies make it betterdandelionhunterDined on 10/17/2014Celebrating my birthday early, I felt their desire to turn the table more than hospitality. The famous olive oil was bland and tiny. The charcuterie del mare was a creative take on octopus and tuna but fell flat. After reviews boasting of food made with passion, I would have settled for food made with high quality sea salt. The mushroom pasta was mediocre. The saffron thread pasta with pine nuts and sardines was unappealing, vaguely fishy with the sandy texture of breadcrumbs. I fished through to find pine nuts and mostly found sardine bones. The steak was good quality but bare- served only with arugula. Only the ugly almond cookies were redeeming. Glad I didn't have my hopes up to celebrate in style here. Good thing I enjoyed my wine.
- 10 Year Anniversary DinnerCharacterZeroDined on 10/17/2014A great experience with my wife celebrating our 10 year anniversary. Excellent food and service. Loved the bottle of wine from Campania we enjoyed with our meal. Nice menu. Very friendly staff. Look forward to a return visit. The space is also memorable. Thanks !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great authentic Italian restaurantHOLLYMIGGIEDined on 9/24/2014My wife and I celebrated her birthday at the restaurant. The food was great and our waiter was wonderful. The only thing was finding the restaurant was a bit difficult because there outside sign say Lewis drug store? But once entering the establishment it was a neighborhood gem with a great wine list. I would definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great cocktails, meh foodsf2bkDined on 9/23/2014I would go back for the cocktails and olives. The food was quite bland and uninspiring.Special Features:
- Tuscany in BKFeedMeFoodVIPDined on 9/16/2014I noticed the adorable Locanda Vini e Olii when I was riding my bike and have been meaning to try it ever since. When I looked it up I was thrilled to find that it in addition to being housed in an artfully converted neighborhood pharmacy the reviews all lauded the cuisine. In the tradition of Tuscan cooking our meal let all in ingredients speak for themselves. Simple and well executed food and a space that makes you want to stay for hours. Having dined in Tuscany where the dinners don't start until 10pm and end whenever you feel like it I was disappointed to be the only ones left in the place after keeping a 9pm reservation. But hey, it was a Tuesday.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- theliegeDined on 9/13/2014Food and service are very good; seating is tight. Cardboard menus are cute but for a quality place they should spend a little more on the menu stock.Special Features:
- Beautiful PlaceMrshaxDined on 9/9/2014The design of the restaurant is beautiful, the service is very good, the homemade vermouth a are wonderful, and the food is nothing. It is lacking in creativity, flavor and presentation. The food did not match the atmosphere. But my husband had the bacala and he said that was delicious, we are planning on going back to sit at the bar order this FANTASTIC bottle of wine we had some olives and maybe some sides. I am not planning on going back for dinner unless they change chefsSpecial Features:

Pasta was wonderful too, sage pappardelle was delicious. I wasn't too crazy about potato/pancetta ravioli with board ragú. Waiter Gabriele was the best, very friendly and professional. I will definitely go back!Special Features:
- husband birthdaySuesueDined on 8/20/2014The food was amazing my husband and I enjoy it. The service was great. My husband had the roasted duck he kissed his fingers very very good, I had the Rabbit but too salted but they were nice to replace it with something else so i had the roasted Duck amazing. I would recommend just for a night out or special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mom and Dad's DelightOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/7/2014After a day in NYC, we wanted to bring my parents to this restaurant that we were introduced to by friends a few months ago. It is not easy to please mom and dad when it comes to dining in Italian restaurants. Mom is from Sicily and Dad is Roman, a true Italian food snob. Well, they were blown away!! Dad suggested trying the tasting menu. I was concerned because both my husband and mom are pretty limited in the foods they would try normally but they thought it sounded like a great idea. Al I can say is the food was amazing, the ambiance superb, and the wine, suggested by the owner, was perfect. The owner came by frequently to check on us, delivering the food himself on a few occasions. Mom and Dad continue to rave about Locanda Vini e OliiSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I love it!brooklyonDined on 8/2/2014The place isn't very convenient but I would like to come back again. I wish I had this restaurant in my neighborhood. Foods we ordered were all delicious. I enjoyed real Italian foods. You can't find tripe in not many restaurant. They We were four women. All love love love the restaurant design which they kept the gems of the original drugstore. So lovely.Special Features:
- LJP1947Dined on 7/31/2014Perhaps it was because you had had a private party previous to opening to other diners on Thursday night, but we were disappointed with the food, its presentation and service, especially considering the cost. I always order heirloom tomatoes when they are in season and on the menu, and know how excellent they can be, but these lacked the distinctive, delicate taste characteristic of the finest ones. The beef in itself was excellent, and cooked to perfection, but the pile of uninteresting greens piled carelessy next to it made the entire plate unappealing. More care could have been taken with the presentation. I have no problem paying the premium for an excellently prepared and served meal, which I did not feel was the case here.Special Features:

- Second RateafreviewDined on 7/26/2014This place got very good reviews but honestly it's a just another 2nd rate nyc italian restaurant. All the food was undersalted, and all the ingrediantes seemed a little bit mushed together. I would not go back.Special Features:

With reasonably priced soups and salads, to creative and perfectly cooked fresh pastas, we've returned to this restaurant a number of times. If ever you have the opportunity, order the home-made pasta with mushrooms and the raspberry tart.Special Features:

- Always a good time but..NomNomDined on 6/20/2014I visit this restaurant once a year for a family member's birthday and every tim the service from start to finish and end to end is phenomenal. The food is wonderful, the waitstaff is friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere makes this restaurant absolute gem of the proliferation of New York Italian places. Usually the service is top notch. On my most recent visit our server was rather cool and indifferent throughout the meal and could find no way for an undecided member of our party to place an order slightly later than the rest of the group. Inconvenient for the server, sure but when you're spending 3 or 400 dollars on dinner you don't like to feel rushed.Special Features:
- MeganphDined on 6/15/2014For a great night out, you can't go past Locanda Vini e Olii. Full disclosure, I live around the corner, so I find myself there at least weekly and it never fails to impress. The food is fresh and delicious - traditional Tuscan style, the service impeccable and it's in the cutest old drug store on the planet. It's always going to be a 5 out of 5 from me.Special Features:
- Great food, inattentive serviceedillaloDined on 6/7/2014Locanda Vini e Olii has a lot of great things going for it: the restaurant is housed in a unique space that retains a lot of character and interesting elements; with high ceilings and a good use of mirrors, it feels spacious inside; also, the food is very good and offers unique plates many people may not have encountered before. But the service is downright infuriating. We were greeted warmly & quickly when we arrived, but things quickly went south from there. Perhaps due to it being a Saturday night, but it often felt like we were neglected & forgotten. No checks on how the food was, no offers of more wine, tons of staff hurrying past the table but not even trying to clear our plates, and we had to hunt down a server to get our check.
- Good food, wonderful old settingMrBrahmsDined on 6/5/2014A beautiful old pharmacy, now a lovely restaurant setting. Good food - we had duck and pasta. Great appetizers - chicken livers and a nice salad. Delicious bread pudding for dessert. Drinks were good. The waiter was kind of brusque - maybe he thought it was funny. I didn't. Kind of inappropriate for such a nice place. But still worth the trip.I would recommend this to a friend.

- PleasedPhilDined on 6/4/2014Live in the area, never been before. If I had to guess I'd venture that the two waiters had an interest in the place - they were both very knowledgeable of the menu and moved efficiently within the room. The tripe was excellent (serious portions, and I'm something of a gourmand), the duck, however, was a little tough. I plan on going back to try some new parts of the menu.Special Features:

In LaGrange County they're doing things they've never done before to cope with high unemployment.
One year ago, the jobless rate in LaGrange County was five percent, with 835 people looking for work.
In April of 2009, the unemployment rate was 17.7 percent with three thousand people looking for work.
Last week, the Westview and Lakeland School Corporations started doing something they've never done before, and plenty of kids in LaGrange County were eating it up.
"We're doing the summer food program sponsored by the U.S.D.A. and the numbers last week, our first week of doing it, we fed over a thousand meals for the week which was very good," said program coordinator Tammy Fennell.
The free lunch program has only come to LaGrange County now because the economy there is so bad.
In order for a school corporation to receive the federal grants that pay for the food, more than half the students must come from families the government considers low income.
"I think it's sad our community has, qualifies for this program, but whatever we can do as a community to help one another is what we need to do," said Fennell.
There are signs that keeping everyone fed and clothed has been challenging for LaGrange County. "Our food and clothes basket has gone up 70-percent this year in providing services to families," said Angie Kresse with the United Fund of LaGrange County. "Things are really tough right now; we're getting a lot of phone calls."
Today, phone calls weren't necessary. The community held a "Here to Help" fair where the jobless could share their financial fears face to face.
"My unemployment is running out here pretty soon, and now I have a part time job, but it's not going to be enough," said Robyn Lambright who was laid off about three months ago.
Frank Lewis also attended today's fair at Lakeland Middle School in the hopes of filling out some job applications. "I worked for a company up until about two months ago, they laid off because the automotive industry wasn't making enough money to pay them."
The fair offered people help in dealing with common problems of the present, while some were already wondering what might come next.
"We've pretty much discovered that shelter is going to be the ultimate issue," said Kresse. "Mortgage foreclosures are happening and there's really not any shelter in LaGrange County for people to go to."
Kresse and others were looking in to any grant possibilities that might be available.
In Indiana, LaGrange County's unemployment rate is second only to that of Elkhart County. However, LaGrange is much smaller in terms of population.
About 38-thousand residents live in LaGrange County, where 40-percent of the population is said to be Amish.

Missile Defense:
Actions Needed to Improve Transparency and Accountability
GAO-11-555T: Published: Apr 13, 2011. Publicly Released: Apr 13, 2011.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4859
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In order to meet its mission, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is developing a highly complex system of systems--land-, sea-, and spacebased sensors, interceptors, and battle management. Since its initiation in 2002, MDA has been given a significant amount of flexibility in executing the development and fielding of the ballistic missile defense system. GAO was asked to testify on its annual review of MDA and on progress made to improve transparency and accountability. This statement is based on our March 2011 report.
When MDA was established in 2002, it was granted exceptional flexibility in setting requirements and managing the acquisition, in order to meet a Presidential directive to deliver an initial defensive capability in 2004. However, the flexibility also came at the expense of transparency and accountability. For example, unlike certain other Department of Defense (DOD) major defense acquisition programs, a cost, schedule, and performance baseline does not have to be established or approved outside MDA. In addition, while most major defense acquisition programs are required by statute to obtain an independent verification of cost estimates, MDA has only recently developed cost estimates for selected assets and plans to work with DOD's Office of the Director for Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation to develop independent cost estimates for more MDA elements. Further, assessments of a system's suitability and effectiveness in combat have only been accomplished, with limitations, for the currently deployed Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense weapon system. Since its inception, MDA has employed at least three different strategies to acquire and deploy missile defense systems. Because these changes involved different structures for reporting cost, schedule, and performance data, they have exacerbated transparency and accountability challenges--each time a strategy changes, the connection between the old and new strategy planned scope and resources is obscured. In 2010, MDA made significant progress in addressing previously reported concerns about transparency and accountability. Specifically, MDA : (1) Established resource, schedule, test, operational capacity, technical, and contract baselines for several missile defense systems. It reported these to Congress in its June 2010 BMDS Accountability Report. (2) Identified three phases of development where baselines are approved-- technology development, product development, and initial production phases--and specified the key knowledge that is needed at each phase. (3) Established processes for reviewing baselines and approving product development and initial production jointly with the military services that will ultimately be responsible for those assets. GAO also reported last year that MDA extensively revised the test plan to increase its robustness and ability to inform models and simulations for assessing missile defense performance. While it is clear that progress has been made in terms of implementing new acquisition reviews and reporting detailed baselines, there remain critical gaps in the material reported, particularly the quality of the underlying cost estimates needed to establish baselines. Moreover, GAO still has concerns about realism in test planning and acquisition risks associated with the rapid pace of fielding assets. These risks are particularly evident in MDA's efforts to develop systems to support a new approach for missile defense in Europe as well as the Ground-based Midcourse Defense system. GAO does not make new recommendations in this testimony but emphasizes the importance of implementing past recommendations, including: (1) Establishing and reporting complete, accurate, reliable cost information. (2) Strengthening test planning and resourcing. (3) Following knowledge-based acquisition practices that ensure sufficient knowledge is attained on requirements, technology maturity, design maturity, production maturity and costs before moving programs into more complex and costly phases of development. DOD has committed to take action on many of our recommendations.

Happily Red 2009 - Hello Dolly
Theatre Jacksonville Review
by DICK KEREKES
published: February 17, 2009
Valentine's Day 2009 was very special this year since it fell on a Saturday. It was an especially special event for the almost full house audience that choose to attend the 2009 version of Happily Red at Theatre Jacksonville in San Marco.
When Sara Boone became Executive Director of Theatre Jacksonville she began the annual fund raising Happily Red concerts. In the past they have been musical revues featuring a vocalist from the New York Broadway scene performing with some of the fine local talent.
This year's edition was a special treat with the performance of the always popular musical 'Hello Dolly" in concert. Instead of fancy sets and costumes, the performers wore evening attire, and carried scripts (although they knew the songs by heart), and acted out the condensed action on an open stage, while waiting for their turn sitting in chairs facing the audience. The orchestra led by Musical Director Eugene Gwozdz and Choral Director Rachel Clifton was also on the stage along with all the musicians and their instruments. In the very back of the stage were two rows of chairs with the large male and female chorus. Headling the show were two wonderful Broadway veterans, Harvey Evans and Pamela Myers.
Harvey Evans (Horace Vandergelder) went to New York when he was seventeen and has been performing in musicals for 50 years!! He has done Dolly with Carol Channing, Eve Arden, and Betty Grable. In addition he has been in many movies and TV shows and is apparently looking forward to the next 50 years as he is still a very robust performer and certainly as charming and talented as ever.
Pamela Myers made her Broadway debut as Marta in Company for which she was nominated for best performance by a Featured Actress in a musical in l971. She has been working in show business every since doing musicals (Sunday in the Park with George, Sweeney Todd, as a soloist with the Boston Pops and Cincinnati Pops and on TV in Alice, St. Elsewhere , Major Dad and Sha-Na-Na'. Ms. Myers was marvelous as Dolly and received a standing ovation at curtain call from the appreciative Theatre Jacksonville audience. This genuine applause was, unknown to the audience, an early present for Ms. Myers' July 15th birthday. Happy Birthday, we loved you!!!
The production featured in the major supporting roles, Sarah Boone as Irene Malloy, Michael Lipp playing Barnaby Tucker, Juan Unzueta as Barnaby Tucker and Miranda Lawson as Minne Fay.
The excellent show was directed by New York Director/Choreographer Jean Tait, who brought the action to life despite the limited space. I was especially impressed with the Harmona Gardens restaurant scene; you know the one where all the waiters gallop around. Using the talents of Douglas Anderson School of the Arts senior, Tanner Lane as the featured dancer, the scene was very impressive and exciting. The large and talented chorus with some of Jacksonville's best voices added much to the show.
These are times when theaters will have to be innovative and exciting to survive, and Theatre Jacksonville certainly took a giant step with this production. Thank you to the corporate sponsors who made this possible, especially to the Title Sponsor, Pacer International, who made the appearance of the two Broadway stars attainable. I can't wait till next year, but Hello Dolly is going to be hard to top!!
Cast: Pamela Myers(Dolly) Harvey Evans (Horace), Sarah Boone (Irene) Michael Lipp (Cornelius) Juan Unzueta( Barnaby) Miranda Lawson(Minnie Fay) Kellie Wyatt (Ermengarde) Tyler Ross (Ambrose), Amy Noel Canning (Ernestina) Jim Goodell (Rudolph) Karl Rogers (Judge) Rachel Clifton (Mrs. Rose) Ensemble: MaryBeth Antoinette, Carole Banks, Joel DeCandio, Andrew Dickson, Matt Fischer, Rene Freeman, Erin Gawera, Lee Hamby, Claire Hubbard, Soo Young Jeong, Tanner Lane, Lana Nichols, Lee O'Quinn, Beka Price, Chris Robertson and Maryann Vacaro.
Thanks Theatre Jacksonville for my most memorable Valentine's Day.

Ann and Carl are siblings who embark on a tour of Europe together. Their objective isn't entirely focused on taking in beautiful architecture, museums and cathedrals, though; Ann's itinerary involves men — lots of them. She's contracted a terminal disease called ATD, Acquired Toilet Disease, and wants to spend her remaining time enjoying as much bedroom sightseeing as she can, her ATD being noncommunicable via sexual contact. Don't be put off by this seeming flippancy concerning grave matters: In The Baltimore Waltz, playwright Paula Vogel casts ATD as an allegory for AIDS, and she uses farce and a fictional malady as a means of coping with the suffering and tragedy inherent in a very real disease (one that claimed her brother in real life). Muddy Waters Theatre stages its production of The Baltimore Waltz at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday (March 4 through 20) at the Kranzberg Arts Center (501 North Grand Boulevard; 314-799-8399 or www.muddywaterstheatre.com). Tickets are $20 to $25.
Fridays-Sundays. Starts: March 4. Continues through March 20, 2011

Heinz 57 Center
357 ? 6th Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA 15222-2530
Dear Mr. Binotto:
On December 7, 8, 10-14, 2001, we inspected your seafood processing facility, located in Pago Pago, American Samoa. We found that you have serious deviations from the seafood HACCP regulations in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 123 (21 CFR 123). In accordance with 21 CFR 123.6(g), failure of a processor to have and implement a HACCP plan that complies with this section or otherwise operate in accordance with the requirements of this part, renders the fishery products adulterated within the meaning of Section 402(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act). Accordingly, your canned tuna is adulterated, in that the fish have been prepared, packed or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health. You may find the Act and the seafood HACCP regulations through links in FDA?s home page at www.fda.gov. See attached handout on how of the Fish & Fisheries Products Hazards & Controls Guidance, you can obtain a copy 3rd edition, June 2001.
The serious deviations were as follows:
1. You must have a HACCP plan that is signed and dated, either by the most responsible individual on-site at your processing facility or by a higher level official of your firm The signature is to signify that the HACCP plan has been accepted for implementation by your firm. However, not all of the components you presented to investigators as your HACCP plan were signed and dated, nor did they represent current implementation of a plan by your firm.
During the December 2001 inspection, components of your HACCP plan presented to the investigators consisted of a "Canned Tuna HACCP Plan" package dated 3/10/01, including a "HACCP Plan Summary" (which did not reflect major components of the overall plan), with a 6/13/01 updated section for "Incoming Fish/Loin Handling Procedures" (confusingly signed on 5/25/01). You also provided a separate updated "Incoming Fish/Loin Handling Procedures" dated 6/26/01 (without signature) which referred to a separate ?-Test Lot Protocol" document dated l/10/96 with various updated sections within. Prior to the end of the inspection, you also presented an additional, yet to be implemented, unsigned, "Canned Tuna HACCP Manual," dated 5/15/01, which included another "HACCP Plan Summary" (which again does not reflect major components of the overall plan). Inconsistencies in the various components presented caused confusion for the investigators and plant personnel as discussed with your firm during the inspection. This concern was previously discussed with management of your firm following the July 2000 inspection, as well as at a meeting with your Senior Manager of Quality Assurance, Mr. Mario Piccinin, held at the Office of Seafood in September 2000. Your firm needs to establish a HACCP plan that can be clearly understood and properly implemented by all responsible individuals in your facility.
Further, your 5/15/01 proposed HACCP plan includes a draft protocol prepared by the [redacted] for the Receiving critical control point which noted in your previous operating plans in effect at the time of our last inspection. Although FDA was assured in May 2001 that your firm would be implementing the- protocol, the investigators found this was not the case in December 2001.
2. You must have a HACCP plan that lists the critical limits that must be met to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(c)(3). However, your firm?s HACCP plan for canned tuna lists critical limits that are not adequate to control the food safety hazard of histamine formation when you receive fresh, unfrozen fish.
There were a number of deficiencies identified in various components of the HACCP plan in effect at your facility during the inspection. However, prior to the end of the inspection, you presented the investigator with a significantly modified HACCP plan 130 pages with attachments, dated 5/15/01 but unsigned) that you stated was going to be accepted and implemented by your firm. There are still deficiencies at the Receiving critical control point noted m the proposed plan. Specifically:
a You list, "Histamine levels shall not exceed FDA DAL of 5 mg%" on your "Canned Tuna HACCP Plan Summary " There is no mention of sensory examinations or internal temperature monitoring in the summary plan. Page 16 of 5/15/01 proposed plan (Critical Control Point - 1) presents the same critical limit for histamine m addition to a sensory critical limit that states, "Odors associated with decomposition shall not be present in more than [redacted]% of each test lot." Page 19 (Critical Control Point - 2) introduces an internal temperature critical limit for incoming fresh fish lots delivered 12 to 24 hours from death. The inconsistencies between the summary plan and the elaborated plan make it difficult to determine what your operative plan consists of, and this is unacceptable.
Note: The critical limit for histamine content should more accurately state that the histamine content of all fish should be less than 5 mg%, wherein any fish at 5 mg% or-greater exceeds the critical limit. And the critical limit for sensory findings should more accurately state that less than 5% of the fish are decomposed wherein any sample at 5% or greater exceeds the critical limit.
b. Page 19 of your 5/15/01 proposed HACCP plan, Critical Control Point - 2, does not make it clear that the internal temperature critical limit for fresh scombrotoxin-forming fish at the Receiving critical control point is an additional control measure to be monitored in conjunction with histamine testing and organoleptic examinations as prescribed in Critical Control Point - 1. FDA recommends that all three components, i.e., histamine testing, sensory examination, and internal temperature checks, be included as controls at receiving of fresh scombrotoxin-forming fish.
c. The January 8, 2002 response letter from Mr. Mario Puccinin, QA Senior Manager, states that your new plan provides a critical limit of "evidence of icing for fish that are delivered after [redacted] hours from the time of death of the fish]." This is an inadequate measure for histamine control. FDA recommends that the temperature of fresh fish received 24 hours or more after death be 40?F or less. A temperature of 50?F is adequate for fresh fish received between 12 and 24 hours of death. Fresh fish that are received less than 12 hours after death should have internal temperatures that are indicative of the use of appropriate chilling methods onboard the vessel. Documentation of the time of death and the time of receipt of the fish would be needed to ensure that the appropriate internal temperature critical limits is applied.
FDA does not discourage primary processors from examining fish for adequacy of Ice or chilling medium upon receipt. However, internal temperatures provide a more reliable indicator of histamine prevention practices onboard the vessel.
3. Adjustments to your canned tuna HACCP plan?s corrective actions and their Implementation are needed.
a You must take an appropriate corrective action when a deviation from a critical limit occurs to comply with 21 CFR 123.7(a). However, your firm took a corrective action when your process for canned tuna deviated from your critical limit at the Receiving critical control point that was not adequate to control the hazard of histamine formation. Specifically, you failed to follow the corrective action plan outlined in the attachment to your HACCP plan, [redacted] COMING FISH/LOIN HANDLING PROCEDURES, dated June 26, 2001.
For example, you failed to sample and test [redacted] fish for histamine on at least four occasions when you exceeded the sensory critical limit, even though there were more than [redacted] fish in the lot:
(1) For a lot S2 of yellowfin tuna that you received from the [redacted] (Vessel (trip [redacted]), 12.1% of the lot were found decomposed. As a corrective action, you sampled [redacted] composites [redacted] fish per composite) for histamine analysis, instead of. composites [redacted] fish per composite for a total of [redacted] fish). At this time, you had a balance of mans of yellowfin tuna in your freezer.
(2) For a lot (P11) of yellowfin tuna that you received from the [redacted] Vessel (trip [redacted]), 12.2% of the lot were found decomposed. As a corrective action, you sampled [redacted] composites [redacted] fish per composite) for histamine analysis, instead of [redacted] composites [redacted] fish per composite for a total of [redacted] fish). At this time, you had a balance of [redacted] of yellowfin tuna in your freezer.
(3) For a lot (S8) of yellowfin tuna that you received from the [redacted] Vessel (trip [redacted], 5.2% of the lot were found decomposed. As a corrective action, you sampled [redacted] composites ([redacted] fish per composite) for histamine analysis, instead of [redacted] composites [redacted] fish per composite for a total of [redacted] fish). At this time, you had a balance of [redacted] of yellowfin tuna in your freezer.
(4) For a lot (S9) of yellowfin tuna that you received from the [redacted] Vessel (trip [redacted]), 5.3% of the lot were found decomposed. As a corrective action you ran [redacted] composites [redacted] fish per composite) for histamine analysis, instead of [redacted]) composites [redacted] fish per composite for a total of [redacted] fish). At this time, you had a balance of [redacted] of yellowfin tuna in your freezer.
Mr. Mario Piccinin?s letter of January 8, 2002 states that the above lots of fish involved large fish and that there were insufficient fish in the sample lot to allow for them [redacted] fish sampling requirement. However, we note in each instance that there were from [redacted] to [redacted] of fish remaining in the freezer, Mr. Piccinin states that procedures have been revised to require additional samples to be pulled from the freezer in order to acquire the [redacted] fish sample, The revision should be included in the 5/15/01 proposed plan (page 17, Critical Control Point - 1, Fish Receiving, Test Pack Analysis) to reflect that the random sample of ([redacted] raw or precooked fish may be selected from the test lot or the original lot as needed for histamine analysis. Mr. Piccinin further states that, in each instance noted, the histamine level was less than 0.9 mg%, significantly below the 5.0 mg% DAL. Since you reduced the sample size from [redacted] fish to [redacted] and [redacted] fish, respectively, you reduced the likelihood of detecting fish containing high histamine levels if they were in the lot.
b. You must fully document, in records subject to verification, all corrective actions taken to comply with 21 CFR 123 7(d). However, you did not document that corrective actions were taken when you deviated from your decomposition critical limit for canned tuna at the Receiving critical control point to control the hazard of histamine formation.
Specifically, whenever you exceeded your decomposition critical limit and performed corrective action by examining all of the fish in the lot, you failed to document that you conducted sensory examination of each fish. While the sensory activities during the examination of the protocol or test lot indeed need to be documented in the monitoring records, your firm also needs to document the sensory accept/reject activities during the corrective action that directs you to control [redacted] % sensory examination of the remaining fish in the original lot per your 6/26/01 "Incoming Fish/Loin Handling Procedures" (item 4, [redacted] Lot), and your 5/16/01 proposed HACCP plan (page 18, Critical Control Point - 1, Fish Receiving, Corrective Action).
c. Since you chose to include corrective actions in your HACCP plan, your described corrective actions must be appropriate to comply with 21 CFR 123.7(b). However, your corrective action plan for canned tuna at the Receiving critical control point to control the hazard of histamine formation is not adequate.
In addition to ensuring that injurious product does not enter commerce, according to 21 CFR 123.7(b)(2), an appropriate corrective action plan describes steps to be taken to ensure that the cause of a deviation is corrected. FDA recommends that an appropriate corrective action to address the cause of a critical limit deviation for histamine control at the Receiving critical control point for primary processors is to discontinue use of the supplier until evidence is obtained that their harvesting and handling practices have been improved.
At the conclusion of the inspection, the deviations were listed on Form FDA 483 (Inspectional Observations) and discussed with Mr. Phillip A. Thirkell, General Manager. A copy of this form is enclosed for your ready reference This list is not meant to be an all-inclusive list of violations. There were many significant deficiencies observed in your HACCP plan and implementation of the plan at the time of the inspection and upon review of the inspectional evidence. However, as a consequence of your promises to implement the new plan as pledged by Mr. Philip A. Thirkell, General Manager, at the time of the inspection and by Mr. Mario Piccinin, Senior Manager of Quality Assurance, in your l/18/02 response to the Form FDA 483, this warning letter does not cite each of those deficiencies, and rather, focuses on corrections needed to the proposed plan and its Implementation. You are responsible for ensuring that your processing facility operates in compliance with the Act, the Seafood HACCP regulations, and the Good Manufacturing Practice regulations (21 CFR 110).
We may take further action if you do not promptly correct these violations For instance, we may take further action to seize your products and/or enjoin your firm from operating.
Please respond in writing within fifteen (15) working days of receipt of this letter. Your response should outline the specific things you have done to correct these deviations. You may wish to include in your response documentation such as copies of the HACCP plan or other useful information that would assist us in evaluating your corrections. If you cannot complete all corrections before you respond, we expect that you will explain the reason for your delay, and state when you will correct any remaining deviations.
Your response should be directed to: Ms. Harumi Kishida, Compliance Officer, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 1431 Harbor Bay Parkway, Alameda, CA 94502-7070. If you have any questions regarding any issue in this letter, please contact Ms. Kishida at (510) 337-6824.

Fiestas is such a fun time here in Santa Fe. Our little town square is jam packed with people, food booths, toys, and crafts. I think this is one of the few downtown Santa Fe events that draws a huge local following. I cam remember coming to fiestas every year as a child and walking in the pet parade. It's such a great tradition for the kids. Little M and I went this morning for the pet parade and we stayed to eat a Navajo taco and buy a couple goodies.

Sparklers and Sharklers: Planksy Arrives From Europe Just In TimeSubmitted by dochoc on Fri, 07/04/2014 - 09:16
Arr! It's none another than meself, Planksy, the pirate turkey, the fowl come a calling, the bird with yer word, bringin' and slingin' me sparklers and sharklers, mateys, this Fourth of July. I sail in from across thee pond, 300 bird or so strong, after me European tour, with a treasure chest of good stories, a gobbler styled in the latest French fashion, an extra ho ho ho and a barrel of rum, no landlubbers there to a bird, from yer Amsterdam to Paris to London to Dublin. Arr! So yer know the drill. If yer get me sparklers, then let it be known throughout the Atlantic and Oklahoma that yer get a cup or twenty of me rum from me private edition barrel, Planksy's Reserve, aboard me vessel. If it's sharklers for yer, then a walkee walkee on the Planksy planky, and then do some swimming, landlubbers, no experience be required, with the fishies that come with a bit of a bite, if yer get me drift.
Sparklers. Ahoy, Dr. Vic Hutchison, once again, come aboard me proud vessel and hoist rum cups with this bird as the sweet fiddlin' plays a tune of yer liking. Aye, the good Doc Vic will give credit to others, a modest pirate professor, indeed, but he, others with Oklahomans for Excellence in Science Education and even more pirates, too, deserve a beauty of a full mast pirate parade for leadin' the charge against the local politicians who be wantin' the teachin' of creationism in our schools. Doc Vic and company be doin' this year after year after year for the sake of science, not of money. The scurvy, landlubberin' politicos have been repelled for 15 years now. Arr! It's a pirate's dream be true. Sail on sea dogs, Vic and crew, sail on.
Sharklers: Aye, yer basic pirate turkey hates to kick a bird (hee hee) when she's down but sharklers it's got to be for Janet Barresi, the state's Schools Superintendent, who managed to make just about everyone think she's a rascally bilge rat out for her own good and none other. It's all for the kiddies, she keeps saying, the kiddies that and the kiddies this, but her system sets lads and lasses up for drownin' in unreliable tests and forced into thinkin' they be failures. Arr! Methinks the voters figured it all out when she lost her election in the 2014 electoral siege called The Battle of The Barresi, but let's add a nice long plank aboard the Planksy's Wrecked Again for a special topping to this glorious victory. Splashy splashy. Here come the toothie fishes. Hubris always makes them rascals a tad hungry.
Sparklers. Arrrrr! That be yer five "r" arr. Aye, and I, fer one and all pirate turkeys and related species across the state, appreciate the campaign for U.S. Senate by state Sen. Constance Johnson, who tells it true as it can be in Oklahoma, no compromise, no wishy washy, on the basic principals, like reducin' jail time for non-violent offenders and legalizin' and regulatin' cannabis. Can she win? Another pirate's dreamy wish if my gobbler ever did see one, but she and pirate turkeys and their supporters have no reason for doldrums. Have some pirate fun and be makin' a point. The barrel aboard ship, now docked at the Bricktown Canal, awaits yer arrival, the esteemed Senator Johnson. I bow to your courageousness and style, with my gobbler in a flutter.
Sharklers. Sharklers galore go to the scurvy millionaire and billionaire big-shot executives from the Devon, Continental Resources and Chesapeake energy companies here in Oklahoma City. Arr! Methinks I smell some rascally stench from down below deck. What these bilge rats wanted and got were tax breaks for their companies because many a big-shot executive knows paying taxes be a fool's game and plundering be a sure thing to get yer doubloons in Oklahoma where the conservatives are the captains of the political ship. Arr! But we create so many jobs, they cry in their grogs, but they be all quiet like about how they line their OWN pockets with doubloons. The science types also say the oily and gassy related companies are responsible for all these new earthquakes, but state leaders won't do nuthin' about it. The plank awaits yer arrival, me executives. The fiddler has a special tune for yer as well as you be makin' the leap. Before the splash, can yer hand over some treasure for those school kiddies Janet wants to flunk so bad?
Sparklers.The famous annual sharkler and sparkler award ceremony would not be complete without me mentioning the fowl who be just returnin' from France, the bird with the beautiful gobbler that just recently swayed seductively in the Dublin breeze aboard me vessel as I crossed the sea. That would be meself, the world's best connoisseur of tofurkey and barrels of rum. Enjoy your Fourth of July holiday and be careful at yer local turkey crossin'.
Shiver Me Gobbler Already! Planksy Presents Planks, ThanksSubmitted by dochoc on Wed, 11/27/2013 - 12:04
Arrrrr! That's yer five r arr, me mateys, meaning it's none other that yer favorite pirate turkey, meself Planksy, comin' t' Oklahoma, spreadin' me special thanks and planks this holiday season. Ahoy, buccaneers, imagine me ship, fowl-filled, and sail-trimmed, the Jolly Roger flying high, as it sails the Sooner state, a little quaky these days me might add, but nothin' me and me crew can't handle so farrr.
Aye, don't be land lubbers and listen up: This bird arrrrrives to dole me thanks and planks. If yer done good, then yer get yer thanks, a cup or eighteen from Planksy's special rum barrel and hornpipe dancin' aboard ship until the wee hours of the wee mornin' this Thanksgiving. If yer done bad, and if yer a scallywag, bilge rat or lubber, well, my, my, my, yer get yer PLANKS, and a little dip with the toothy fishes swimming circles once yer do yer walkin'. Shiver me gobbler, it's show time. Arr!
Thanks. Ahoy, lads and lasses, me first thanks go out to all yer teachers in the state, a crew of hardy buccaneers, teaching the wee ones spellin' (me speshality) and readin' and rithmetickin', and all while the politicos stick their noses in yer business. Teachers here arrr underpaid and overworked, indeed, but they don't do it for the treasure, me lads and lasses. It's a callin'. Arrr. I tip me beak t' yer, and I ruffle me feathers t' yer. Come onboard for yer merry times. I'll scoop yer rum myself.
Planks. Arr! Alas, me mateys, my first planks go to schools Superintendent Janet Barresi. She's got her A through F scheme to rank schools, but it stinks like a dead bilge rat. It's all about the FFFFFFFF! Is she or is she not a land lubber? Can a pirate turkey squawk? Squawk! Squawk! Arr! Arr! Barresi wants to fail schools using a system made of smelly ship barnacles, and she's doing it with ramming speed and no one can do nothin' about it because Janet and her crew arrr goin' to have their way. Her point is to spread yer misery in the name of the conservative agenda, but there's a little election lurkin', me mateys, just a little tiny wee one.
Thanks. Ahoy, thanks galore to all me state workers, goin' without raises all these years, doin' their best in these tryin' times. I unfurl me Jolly Roger in yer honor. Yer arr the glue that holds that state ship together if I do say so meself and I do. Arrr! Watch out what those politicos want to do with yer pensions. Come on board. Let's get loaded to the gunwales. Dance a pirate's jig with yer favorite bird. It will be like Fiddler's Green.
Planks. Earthquakes?!!! What kind of scurvy shakin' is going on, mateys? What's next? The plague? In this bird's mind, all yer tremblors, big and small, get me planks, or worse, the keelhaul. Earthquakes are NOT for the birds. How's me ship to sail smoothly when everything is shakin' and quakin'. Methinks those frackers got something to do with it, lads and lasses, and then add in yer climate change for yer good measure, and feathers go flying and gobblers go a shivering and there's no place to come about in this place.
Thanks. He's the bird with the word, with a gobbler adored and acclaimed by all. He's the feathery swashbuckler with the handsome beak, a famous fowl with the hospitality aboard ship. Me final thanks go to meself, Planksy, for rising above the flock. Here's wishin' yer lads and lasses a happy Planksgiving. Enjoy that tofurkey. Arrrrr!
Shipwrecked Planksy Still Gives Sparklers, SharklersSubmitted by dochoc on Wed, 07/03/2013 - 12:19
Arrrrrrr! Shiver me gobbler. Happy Fourth of July. It's none other than yer favorite pirate turkey of lore and yore, Planksy, the indomitable, gobbler-swaying bird of wiles, wit and beauty. Aye, I be shipwrecked here on the shore of the Oklahoma River after a nasty Poseidon trick or two, lads and lasses, but me bearings have been located, a new pirate vessel is under construction, and I'm ready and willing to dole out this year's sparklers and sharklers. Arrr! Those who get the sparklers, well, join me in some rum drinking and hornpipe dancing on shore this year. (Bricktown. Take I-40 and try to find an exit down here. I think the scurvy rascals put it in Yukon.) Those who get the sharklers, well, aye, it's time to take a little swim with me hungry fishies.
Sharklers: Aye, me first sharklers of the year go to Gov. Mary Fallin, a land lubber, pirate wannabe, a lily-livered leader with scurvy policies and positions. So she denies poor people here health insurance, it's true, she won't require storm shelters in schools to protect the young lads and lasses, aye it's true, and she doesn't believe in equality for our LGBT friends. Avast, me fellow pirates, she wants the state's treasure delivered to the richest rascals aboard a ship of fools. They say she's literally got no heart, but them fishies don't care. Take a swim, Mary, take a swim. Arrr!
Sparklers: Me very first sparklers go to Oklahomans For Excellence In Science Education for all the fine work opposing religious intrusion. Some polys and land lubbers want to attack evolution and other scientific theories in schools as if Planksy himself isn't a Darwinian testament to evolved creatures everywhere, but, nay, OESE calls out the scurvy bilge rats for what they are and what they want. Arrr! OESE, here's to you, cups of rum for all, the Jolly Roger flies high in yer honor, let the hornpipes play and the dancin' begin. Shiver me gobbler, me fellow pirates, victory feels good. Aye, just be ready next year when the land lubbers play their swarmy hand again.
Sharklers: Arrr! Aye, next up for some toothie fishes is none other than Attorney General Scott Pruitt, who's been in a tizzy wizzy suing the federal government and wasting yer taxpayer money on scurvy ideology. Aye, Pruitt must dream about Obamacare each night he's so fixated. His barnacle-encrusted political views dictate his slimy, inglorious legal shenanigans. His legal fight against the federal Affordable Care Act is an obsessive act of land lubbery and swarmy fallaciousness and a curse to all true pirates. For ye, Mr. Pruitt, a swim with the toothsome circulars, if ye get me drift. Be quick about it, sir.
Sparklers: Aye, he's known in all the lands and seas of the earth, and his gobbler makes him a heartthrob to fowl and human alike. He's keen on logic, and he's a seasoned seabird on a journey for treasure, riches and the common good. He'll even give his rewards, good or bad, when he's shipwrecked and temporarily at port. Aye, sparklers to meself, Planksy, who wishes you and yours a happy and safe Fourth of July. Arrr!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
great school! nice change after private school...
My daughter went to this school from the 1st thru the 6th grade. She was very happy here. There were lots of things to be involved in, band, chorus and great after school activities. She has excelled in school thru the 12th grade. I believe it is a direct result of her experince in Las Brisas
If your kids have an exceptional teacher and are average or slightly-above average, you'll love this school. Gave up trying to get principal to help--sold our house in order to get our kids out of that school. Moved to another district and couldn't be happier.
Great School. Children had to switch schools in the middle of the year and they made it an easy transition. Teachers have been supportive and informative. Parent involvement is encouraged and my children are very happy here.
Two Children @ Las Brisas. The communication that is available between the teachers and the parents is exceptional. They have an open door policy that encourages the parents involvement and active participation. The teachers email us, call us and write to us often. I disagree with the other comments that rated discipline and safety low. Neither of my two children have ever been threatened, observed violence at school or felt unsafe. My children have never brought home one curse word. That is rare in these times. This school is amazingly well adjusted. The children are more apt to perform well under a safe environment. Each teacher is different and that is an excellent thing for my children because they are exposed to many teaching styles. The Teachers still follow the schools agenda. The opportunity lies in increasing Parent involvement. It's not just their job.
From having a wonderful and encouraging Kindergarten teacher the first year. I have been very disappointed in the first grade. I feel academics are not a focus and kids needs more encouragement to strive for more. From one extreme to another, there is no consistency between teachers. Office staff have never been helppful or cordial to me or others. The principal is so in her own world. She has no idea how or what these students are learning. If children need more challenge in the learning, they should be developing it earlier and create more advance placement for children who have the ability.
My children have been going to las brisas elementary school for three years now. I have been disappointed at the lack of consistency from one teacher to the other. I will be removing them at the end of this year to put them somewhere else.
The teachers are superb, they work hard to bring the absolute best out of each and every child. The teachers and staff seem to hold this school together in the phenominal way. Administrative leadership is not what makes this school it is the teachers.
I think Las Brisas is a wonderful school. The teachers are terrific and definitly there for our children.
My kids are new to the school this year and have adjusted well. The teaching staff is exceptional and have welcomed my children with open arms. I have been impressed with the parent participation level and activities offered. I am pleased with both the academic and non-academic programming.
Very friendly school, both teachers and parents. Not enough is expected from students academically. Way too much 'play' time not enough learning.
If you can get past the uptight office staff, the teaching staff is top notch! Students are treated with respect. Though a geographical issue, I found a lack of staff/student diversity.
Good school for the average student. Some of the teachers are exceptional...some teachers just don't seem to want to be bothered. Diversity is good. Bright children are not challenged as they should be. Too many children per classroom to give the children on either end the time they need. Really nice principal that does the most with what she has to work with. She works hard to create a feeling of community.

Snake River teacher under fire
Updated On: Apr 08 2014 10:45:01 AM CDT
A hearing for a long-time Snake River High School teacher that will determine if the district terminates her contract will continue Monday.
Elaine Asmus, who had been at the school for nearly 30 years, was under fire after an argument with a fellow teacher who also happens to be the superintendent's wife.
Due to allegations of harassment, intimidation and bullying of several teachers, the Snake River School Board decided to hold a due-process hearing Friday. More than 200 people attended.
Asmus' lawyer argued she is an upstanding teacher, and that's the only argument she needs.
"The argument is that it doesn't fit the punishment," said Paul Stark. "There were multiple levels of discipline in place that could solve the problem and save a veteran teacher's career."
Asmus, a biology teacher, has a lot of supporters, including former students like Neill Jenson.
"I thinks it's pretty silly and pretty ridiculous that this is happening because she has given so much to the community that I feel like we need to get together and try to help her so she can stay," said Jenson.

ROCKY MOUNT, Va. (AP) -- Rocky Mount is removing a hazardous low-head dam on the Pigg River.
Assistant town manager Matt Hankins tells The Roanoke Times (http://bit.ly/18i3JAn ) that Rocky Mount has been working to modify or remove several low-head dams since 2009. That year, two people died near a low-head dam on the Blackwater River.
Low-head dams allow water to flow over the top, creating a hydraulic effect at the bottom.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is providing funding for the Pigg River project as part of an effort to save the endangered Roanoke logperch.
Dave Byrd with the federal agency says siltation caused by dams has disrupted the fish's habitat.
Byrd says the project will cost an estimated $110,000. Hankins says the town will pay no more than $30,000.

I wasn't expecting to read this when I got out of bed this morning... BoyGenius has dropped word (and drawn up the nice logo above that I borrowed for this post) that Duetsche Telekom will bring T-Mobile to Canada in 2009. The info came to the BG via tipster, so it is unconfirmed. From BG:
From a consumer standpoint and as a Rogers customer in Canada I wouldn't mind seeing more GSM carrier competition come to town, especially if it means data rates will drop. I guess we'll have to stay tuned on this one...

If this is true, it's definately a start for bringing down data plan/rates. But 75 dollars/month for unlimited? That's still pricey. It's cheaper than what we currently have but as whole, it's also on par with what's available at the moment (what was it? somewhere around 100 for 1GB?). If tethering was included in that price, ok it's a HUGE plus, but who's really using the internet on their browser that will exceed 1GB considering browsing on the BlackBerry doesn't take up large amounts of bandwidth? Again, it's a good start but hopefully prices go way further and goes on par with those plans down south.
I'd love to see T-Mob come in and just lay right into Rogers...BUT..I really don't see it happening any time soon...and the wireless spectrum that T-Mobile may be bidding on is the 700Mhz..which means all new devices will be required (assuming this is how t-mob goes about it) which puts a huge bump in the road.
$75 bucks for unlimited is pretty crappy. FIDO = Unlimited Email $15, TELUS = Unlimited Email, Web & Applications $30. TELUS is running the data game. And with the new 8330 Curve on it's way Q2 will be very exciting.
Where are your sources to back this claim up?.....UH OH I THINK YOU SECRETLY WORK FOR ROGERS IN ORDER TO DEBUNK THE TRUE RUMOUR!!!!!!!!!!!
