3-Cup Measure: Is It a Measuring Cup? Or Is It a Wee Pan?
The answer, of course, is: It's both!
Look at this oversized measuring cup from King Arthur Flour's Baker's Store. It's a 3-cup measure, which is actually very handy for measuring out large quantities of flour for big batches of bread and cookies (if you're not using a scale, of course).
But it also does double-duty as a teeny-weeny saucepan, and we can think of a lot of uses for it!
Good Product: Expandable Cooling Rack
We have a hate/love relationship with our cooling racks. On the one hand they are indispensable for helping cakes and cookies to cool faster and more evenly. One the other hand, they get tangled in a maddening way in our baking cupboard. Lee Valley has one solution to this dilemma: An expandable cooling rack.
Easy Cake Decoration: Edible Icing from Ticings
Surprisingly Handy Tool: A Pastry Brush
When we mentioned using our pastry brush to clean our coffee grinder, we called it a "rarely-used" kitchen tool. But the more we thought about it, the more we realize how often this little paintbrush comes in handy!
Whoopie Pie Pan from Williams-Sonoma
I had to giggle when I saw this new pan from Williams-Sonoma. Its utter specificity of purpose was just a little funny. But after I had my giggle, I found myself craving a whoopie pie, and then I started wondering if this little pan might actually have some true functionality in the baker's kitchen after all.
Alessi Bakeware by Matali Crasset and Pierre Hermé
The world of high end kitchen design can feel a bit awkward and cold compared to the well worn patina on the wooden spoons passed down through your family. It's easy to be standoffish, but when form meets function and beauty as it does in these new pieces from Matali Crasset — well then we're all ears.
Help Me Find Good Bowls for Mixing and Baking
Good Questions
Q: I cook and bake a lot, especially during this time of the year. A lot of these recipes need to have the ingredients beaten. I can't afford a stand mixer right now, so I use my hand blender. The problem is all the bowls I have are so small that it gets everywhere!
Can you recommend a bowl that wouldn't get damaged by a hand blender, but be good at keeping the mess in?

FAIL! Silicone Baking Liners
We picked up a set of these silicone baking liners a while back and finally had a chance to put them to use over the holidays. We whipped up a big batch of red velvet cupcakes (more on THOSE tomorrow!) and eagerly awaited our rewards. The cupcakes were excellent, but the liners? Not so much. Have you used these before?

|Gene Gibson, former Texas Tech basketball coach, dies at 82
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 31 May 2007 07:15
Gibson died Saturday at Presbyterian Hospital in Plano from complications resulting from five operations in the last few months, daughter Lisa Gibson said Thursday.
In 1962, his first year as coach, Gibson led the Red Raiders to the second round of the NCAA tournament. Texas Tech won the 1965 Southwest Conference title but had to forfeit because of an ineligible player. He compiled a 101-91 overall record.
Gibson played for the Red Raiders from 1947-50 and was an all-conference center his last season.
Gibson, who lived in Dallas, served in the Army in the Pacific during World War II, Lisa Gibson said.
Services are scheduled for Sunday in Dallas.

November 26, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - The former Miss Nevada U-S-A, dethroned over
raunchy photos posted online, apologized today as her attorney
pleaded for the pageant queen to be given a second chance.
Katie Rees, who appeared in photos revealing a breast, exposing
her thong underwear and kissing other young women at a party in
Tampa, says her behavior was an "isolated incident."
She read a prepared statement at a news conference in
Clearwater, Florida.
Her attorney, Mario Torres of Tampa, asked that Miss Universe
Organization co-owner Donald Trump grant Rees the same opportunity
he gave Miss U-S-A Tara Conner, who was allowed to keep her tiara
after she tearfully admitted drinking as a minor at New York
nightclubs. The Miss Universe Organization owns the Miss U-S-A
pageant and others.
A Miss Universe spokeswoman has said organization president
Paula Shugart made the decision to strip Rees of her title and
Trump supported it. An e-mail sent to a secretary for Trump was not
immediately answered today.
Shugart has said first runner-up Helen Salas will assume the
Miss Nevada title.

Cubs use long ball to beat Cardinals in first game of doubleheaderPaul Sullivan, Chicago Tribune
ST. LOUIS -- Felix Doubront got the victory in his Cubs debut Saturday in Game 1 of a split doubleheader against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium. The Cubs won 5-1 thanks to three home runs.
At the plate
Chris Coughlin's two-run single off Justin Masterson in the second inning started the scoring. Chris Valaika, who scored the second run, was called out at the plate, but the call was overturned after a Cubs' challenge. Logan Watkins' first career home run made it 3-1 in the fourth, and Valaika followed with a solo shot. Starlin Castro tied his career high with his 14th home run in the fifth inning.
On the mound
Doubront allowed one run on seven hits over seven innings, with four strikeouts and one walk. He was 2-4 with a 6.07 ERA with the Red Sox this year, and has a career record of 26-22 with a 4.18 ERA. The Cubs are 19-13 since July 28, the best record in the National League Central since that date with the fourth-best mark in the NL.
The quote
Friday's win brought euphoria to some long-suffering Cubs fans because of the combined performance of the rookies, though it was, after all, only one game. "The significance of Friday's outcome is the way those kids played, the way they went about their business," manager Rick Renteria said. "For me, the victories, the wins and losses, it's a moot point because one or the other is going to happen."

AP Auto Writers
DETROIT (AP) -- A defiant Chrysler is refusing to recall about 2.7 million Jeeps the government says are at risk of a fuel tank fire in a rear-end collision.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration sent Chrysler a letter asking that the company voluntarily recall Jeep Grand Cherokees from 1993 through 2004 and Jeep Libertys from 2002 through 2007.
Chrysler Group LLC, which is majority-owned by Italy's Fiat SpA, said in a statement Tuesday that the Jeeps are safe and it "does not intend to recall the vehicles."
Such a refusal by an auto company is rare. NHTSA can order a recall but needs a court order to enforce it.
David Strickland, the agency's administrator, said in a statement that he hopes Chrysler will reconsider its decision. "Our data shows that these vehicles may contain a defect that presents an unreasonable risk to safety," Strickland said.
NHTSA opened an investigation into the Jeeps in August 2010 at the request of the Center for Auto Safety, a Washington, D.C., advocacy group. Clarence Ditlow, the center's director, has repeatedly sent letters to Chrysler seeking a recall.
The agency found that the Jeeps' fuel tanks can fail when hit from the rear, leak fuel and cause fires if there's an ignition source. The placement of the tanks behind the rear axle and their height above the road is a design defect, NHTSA wrote in a letter to Chrysler dated Monday.
Chrysler moved the fuel tanks on the Grand Cherokee ahead of the rear axle in 2005, and did the same thing with the Liberty in 2007. But retrofitting the older Jeeps with repositioned tanks would be time consuming and costly. In 2011, when Toyota recalled 1.7 million cars for possible fuel leaks from loose fuel pressure sensors, an analyst estimated the cost at $240 million.
Automakers usually agree to a recall request, partly to avoid bad publicity. In the last three years, Chrysler has conducted 52 recalls.
The company previously refused a NHTSA request in 1996, when the agency asked it to recall 91,000 Dodge Stratus and Chrysler Cirrus cars for an alleged seat belt defect. NHTSA sued the company and won in federal court. But in 1998, an appeals court reversed the decision, saying NHTSA had unfairly held Chrysler to a new standard.
Chrysler was represented in that case by John Roberts, now chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Chrysler says its review of nearly 30 years of data shows a low number of rear-impact crashes involving fire or a fuel leak in the affected Jeeps.
"The rate is similar to comparable vehicles produced and sold during the time in question," the company said in the statement. It also said NHTSA left some similar vehicles out of its investigation.
But NHTSA said the older Jeeps performed poorly when compared with all but one similar vehicle from the 1993 to 2007 model years, "particularly in terms of fatalities, fires without fatalities, and fuel leaks in rear-end impacts and crashes."
NHTSA found at least 32 rear-impact crashes and fires in Grand Cherokees that caused 44 deaths. It also found at least five rear crashes in Libertys, causing seven deaths. The agency calculated that the older Grand Cherokees and Libertys have fatal crash rates that are about double those of similar vehicles. It compared the Jeeps with the Chevrolet S10 Blazer, Ford Explorer, Toyota 4Runner, Isuzu Rodeo, Isuzu Trooper, Mitsubishi Montero, Suzuki Sidekick and Suzuki XL-7.
NHTSA asks Chrysler to recall the vehicles and "implement a remedy action that improves their performance in rear-impacts and crashes." It made no recommendation on a fix.
The dispute leaves owners of the affected Libertys and Grand Cherokees waiting for government or court action.
It also leaves Chrysler open to the risk of big liability if there are more crashes and injuries linked to the fuel tanks, said Logan Robinson, a University of Detroit Mercy law professor and former Chrysler corporate counsel.
Lawyers could argue that if Chrysler had recalled the Jeeps, people wouldn't have been hurt, he said. But that liability would be limited if Chrysler beats NHTSA in court and a judge rules the company didn't sell defective vehicles, Robinson said.
Chrysler called the older Grand Cherokees and Libertys "among the safest vehicles of their era," saying they met all federal safety standards in effect when they were built. "NHTSA seems to be holding Chrysler Group to a new standard for fuel tank integrity that does not exist now and did not exist when the Jeep vehicles were manufactured," the company said.

Michigan Gov. signs bill to prevent benefits for public employee domestic partner
Updated On: Dec 22 2011 04:13:58 PM EST
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder signed House Bill 4770 on Thursday which prevents a public employer from providing medical or other fringe benefits to domestic partners.
Snyder vetoed House Bill 4771, which would have amended the Public Employees Relations Act to allow for the domestic partner benefits. The governor said it would supplant language and be in conflict with an important piece of legislation in the local government reform package.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan fired back on Thursday, vowing to to challenge the "constitutionality of the law on behalf of families who will lose their health protections."
House Bill 4770 passed both the state House and Senate in September and December, respectively.

ESPN: Ford submits Mustang for 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup approval
by Jeff Glucker (RSS feed) on Feb 15th, 2011 at 1:29PM
Forget the Fusion, Ford is making a move to bring the Mustang to Nascar's Sprint Cup Series. Ford has informed NASCAR decisionmakers that it wishes to begin racing the Mustang in the highest level of left-turning motorsports. Replacing the Fusion is a process that could take all year, and Ford is required to show that the Mustang is a competitive equal to the cars it will race against. The reason behind the move is that Ford wants to show fans they can buy a car right off the showroom floor that mimics the one they watch every weekend on TV. As fans of the roundy round are already... Read More

Pulminary hypertension, valvuopathy, stroke, suicidal
ideation and behavior, myocardial infarction. These are the results of what were once
promising weight-loss drugs no longer on the market.
Now the FDA has approved two more weight-loss drugs . They
are meant for the obese (BMI equal to or greater than 30) not for the
overweight (BMI under 30). Off label use for the overweight is strongly
recommended against because of serious risks. One of these two new drugs causes
birth defects and women are warned not to get pregnant while on the drug.
The FDA's requirement that the drug manufacturers conduct
post-approval long-term trials to determine the safety of these medications seems
like an effort to shut the barn door after the horse is already out. The
disastrous past history of weight-loss drugs should be sufficient warning not
to use any new weight-loss drug until there is a solid backlog of safety data.

bulk olive oil in berkeley/oakland ?
- edgrimley Jul 9, 2008 09:48 PM
Hi there, just getting resettled here in the Bay Area from a too long stint on the east coast. Any recommendations for places to buy good bulk oil? Berkeley Bowl?
re: Robert Lauriston
Yes, the Pasta Shop on 4th has 3-4 varieties from which to choose. They usually have one Spanish oil. The PS on College had only one oil in bulk when I lived in that neighborhood 3 years ago.
They also sell bottles for your olive oil or you can bring your own or you can even get it in a plastic takeout container if you've forgotten your bottle.
I've been very happy with the oils I've bought at PS on 4th and it takes a lot for me to brave 4th Street these day.
re: chocolatetartguy
I've been buying bulk oil at the Pasta Shop for years, and they always have three excellent choices. Recently I've been favoring the California Olive Ranch oil they offer. It used to be made from pure arbequina (Spanish) olives, but is now made with a blend of Spanish olives, including arbequina. I've read that California Olive Ranch is a huge commercial operation--if I remember right, the largest in the state--but trust me, they are making a terrific product. It's smooth and nutty with an amazing texture/mouth feel.
Monterey Market sells it in bottles at $9.95 (unless it's gone up recently), which is cheaper than I've seen the bottles anywhere else and about the same as you'll pay buying it in bulk at the Pasta Shop. (I just bought some there and refilled the bottle I bought at Monterey Market for just under $10.)
re: TopoTail
What is the size of the bottle?
I believe that the Berkeley Whole Foods (on Telegraph & Ashby) sells it.
Berkeley Bowl does sell liquids in bulk, but they are pre-packaged... they're to the right of the counter where you have your bulk foods weighed and labeled. If I remember correctly, they carry olive oil and maybe one other oil, plus, honey, agave syrup, and others.
For cooking, I used to buy Kalamata olive oil in 3-4 liter cans at Lucca Ravioli in SF, but these days I get it by the bottle at Trader Joe's.
re: ML8000
Magnani may sell it (Hopkins at Monterey)- they used to, along with a number of vinegars.
re: ML8000
Costco used to carry a good, relatively inexpensive EVOO, but to my taste, Trader Joe's Kalamata is currently better.
re: Robert Lauriston
I buy extra light olive oil from Costco for basic cooking. Interestingly, it usually costs more then EVOO in standard grocery stores I think I get 6 liters for around $20. I also buy EVOO from TJ for salads...hard to beat those prices.
re: ML8000
Kirkland "Signature Pure" is currently about $5.50 a liter. I think TJ's EVOO Kalamata is now $8.
For salads I like Oleificio Chianti Buonsapore, which I prefer to think of as costing 50 cents per tablespoon.
re: Robert Lauriston
I've never bought EVOO from Costco. The price is better but there's no way I can use that much. I can use that much extra light w/i a year but not EVOO.
re: Robert Lauriston
Costco/Kirkland oil is sold in plastic bottles which I've read is not good. True?
re: baron45
The quart / liter bottles are glass. Big jugs are plastic.
Magnini Poultry on Hopkins has it and IMO it is better and less expensive than the stuff at Pasta Shop
You might check Lola's on Solano. They sell it by the bottle, but ... it is the olive oil they use for the restaurant. This is just excellent stuff. John wanted to make good quality olive oil available to customers without having to pay big bucks.
If you are ever in Napa, the olive oil shop in Oxbow Market has some
re: Armoise
Stonehouse also has a store (olive oil and vinegar tasting) on 4th Street in Berkeley - a few doors North of Restoration Hardware, pass the Art Gallery.
Also if you feel like taking a drive in Fairfield near the Jelly Belly Plant - Sepay Groves has an olive oil store - tasting - sorry I do not have the address but it is in the industrial area off the freeway across from the Guittard Warehouse.
re: wolfe
wow, great ideas. Thanks.
Mostly interested in foreign. Spanish, Portuguese, Tuscan. All very different but we like them all. We used to be 3-5liter tins at Whole Foods when we lived on the east coast, but hoping to go in and refill gallon jugs and support a local vendor.
Ideally would like to by something with a unique flavor, which you often don't get at the big places where the oils are blended. But I could be overgeneralizing. Possible that Costco's is a single-origin type oil. But tough for that to be the case when the oils are purchased in such bulk.
re: edgrimley
If you want to support a local vendor, check out the farmers markets, though (with a few exceptions like the $40/liter Stonehouse Arbequina rworange mentions) I have found few that I liked and none that were good values. Stutz is pretty good but starts around $16/L.
Molinari's used to carry a good, relatively inexpensive oil from Orland, CA. Not sure of the brand or if they still have it. It's a Portuguese family operation.
Costco's "extra light" is refined so pretty much flavorless.
re: edgrimley
Magnani has Delizia products in large containers with spigots. I haven't tried their oil but regularly use their pomegranate balsamic. Price about $11-12/ liter, I think.
Magnani Poultry
1576 Hopkins St, Berkeley, CA
re: rworange
Magnani 1:15 update. They are pumps not spigots.There are at least 9 different oils. They are $11.99 a large bottle. (qt or l?) Some are labelled with olive variety such as Cortina, Mission, Korneiki or Barnea. Some are flavored, Blood Orange, Persian Lime, Garlic, or Whole Lemon. One is Phoenician and I don't know if that is an olive variety or the boat it came over on. They also have 7-8 vinegars including a sherry. All are available for tasting.
re: the cooker
It not necessary to import oil from California and I believe the oil from Pasta Shop from California Olive Ranch has been praised in this thread. The price 2 years ago was about $75 for 2.5 gallon for extra virgin. The present price for a 2.5 gallon bag in a box California EV olive oil fron Veronica is $100.
re: wolfe
I would like to point out that the pricing you have quoted for Veronica Foods is inaccurate (I know because I purchase from them all the EVOO & Balsamic for both of my restaurants in Berkeley & for my place in Piedmont). I think you've confused West Coast Products with Veronica's? Pretty sure the two companies aren't affiliated, and West Coast only does California products while Veronica's provides California olive oil as well as imports.
Veronica's is the only place I have found that will provide the numbers of the oil (polyphenols, etc), which I find incredibly helpful when I'm pairing olive oils for different uses and dishes.
re: napoligirl
Thank you for the clarification. The West Coast link was under Veronica Foods on one of searches and I mistook it for a link to their prices. Are Veronica's oils just the Deliza brand covered above in the Magnini discussion above?
re: lucymom
That's the Pasta Shop discussed above.
Magnani (Hopkins, near the Monterey Market) has several bulk oils at a good price. Most of them are California products. Maybe all, I can't remember. Can't say anything about quality though because I've never bought oil there.
Re Costco: I don't think there's a better deal on olive oil than their Tuscan oil. Ten dollars for a liter. Current crop (fall, 2010). Real Tuscan olive oil not something from Tunisia, bottled in Italy and labeled Italian (as much of the stuff on the supermarket shelf is). It's a blend of typical Tuscan varieties and quite a robust oil. Note that there are several olive oils at Costco. The organic is, I'm told, well regarded, but it's in plastic bottles. Haven't tried it myself. Then there are lesser grades. I'd stay away from those.
I also like Trader Joe's California Arbequina olive oil. Highly likely that it is from California Olive Ranch, which is the largest olive oil producer in the US and probably the only one capable of supplying the volume TJ's needs. But, don't let COR's size dissuade you. They are producing a fine quality olive oil in the Spanish tradition. More buttery and milder than, say, Costco's Tuscan oil.
re: Gustavo Glenmorangie
I just bought some organic olive oil from Costco in plastic bottles. Can you elaborate the issue of oil in plastic bottles? are there specific food safety concern such as leaching?
re: ckshen
Found several warnings like this one. In the bag in box I would expect the O2 problem to be avoided.
"Avoid buying olive oil in plastic containers because some of the compounds used in the manufacture of the plastic may be absorbed by the oil. If you have to buy oil packaged in plastic, transfer it to a glass or stainless steel container after you open it since contact with oxygen can trigger the chemical reaction."
re: ckshen
Sorry, I really just meant to distinguish the organic oil from the Tuscan oil. I don't think the plastic bottles are a hugely big deal except for the aesthetics of glass vs. plastic. In general, I do make an effort to avoid plastic containers but that's becoming increasingly hard to do.
However, for what it's worth, I don't think there's much of a price difference between the Tuscan and the organic and anytime I can buy real, current crop, Tuscan DOC olive oil at $10/liter, it's just not going to matter to me that it's not organic.
I don't know if it's true or not, but I've heard that Costco buys the entire output of a Tuscan olive oil coop every year for their Tuscan blend. It sells out well before the new crop arrives.
This place has opened recently -- I have not been there yet.
I believe they sell in bulk.
Amphora-Berkeley Olive Oil

Berkeley, CA 94705-2454
It's across from the Claremont Hotel.
re: Joel
Report from Nestorius from Jan.
re: Joel
They do not have any prepackaged bottles (they bottle everything when you buy it), so I would think their entire selection would be available in bulk. They have a pretty wide selection of flavored and unflavored oils and will let you sample anything. The olive oils are pretty good, but I would say not any better than places like the Pasta Shop. They also have a lot of flavored balsamic vinegars, most of which I found pretty strange tasting (things like coconut and chocolate flavored).
The staff is very friendly.
If you are in San Francisco, I found the bulk Olive Oil at Rainbow Grocery excellent. It is from a company called Vida Oliva, who imports premium, organic single cultivator oils from the south of Spain. The bulk oil is a Picual varietal from Andalusia and it has that wonderful big flavor that Spanish oils are known for. Rainbow and Farm Fresh to You have the bottled product as well. I heard through the company that many Bay Area restaurants use it in their kitchens. Such as, Restaurant LuLu, COCO500, La Folie, and Manresa.

re: real5151
How much is the olive oil at Rainbow Grocery ?
Rainbow Grocery
1745 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94103
re: baron45
I really don't remember, although it's super competitive.. cuz you fill and re-fill your own bottles or the store supplied bottles. The quality is super high and I know they sell a lot of it, so the turnover of fresh product is rapid.

Each chapter mentions numerous examples of laws or government policies which have negative consequences for some of the very people they are intended to benefit. It seems worth focusing here on three different types of impact: first, of policies which make assistance and protection for trafficked persons conditional on cooperation with law enforcement officials; secondly, of anti-trafficking measures affecting migrants and others; and thirdly, the misuse of the concept of 'trafficking' to further the political agendas of governments.More information about human trafficking on the website of GAATW.

SEMA Wheels: Clear has staying power
by Frank Filipponio (RSS feed) on Nov 1st, 2007 at 10:02AM
Click for a mini gallery of some of this year's clear rimsLast year "clear" was very in at SEMA: Clear wheels, clear hoods, clear heels, even clear engine blocks. This year a few wheel companies are keeping the trend alive with more on the clear front. While there was a set of massive 30-something-inchers on a particularly clean Riviera, we also saw some slightly more tame sizes on display as well. The big ones on the Riv were from Rimshot, but Dub had some out there, too, on a nearby Benz. The Dubs didn't capitalize on the all-clear concept quite as well, but they seem a bit more realistic...

Transco law opens the door to munis and co-ops.
As the electric industry awaits a final rule from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on regional transmission organizations,...
pointing out that corporate scandals in the last few years came largely from publicly traded companies such as Enron.
Moreover, other critics heatedly complain that private equity firm support for a utility could dry up after privatization when interest rates increase, causing a liquidity crisis. "While existing company debt will have been refinanced at lower rates in conjunction with the LBO, private equity firms will be harder pressed to raise more money as interest rates rise and thus will constrain the utility's access to capital," says one analyst. Private equity proponents respond, "We always have access to public equity markets and can take the company public again in order to raise capital in the public markets." Furthermore, "The company will continue to have access to public debt markets and can go back to their private equity sponsors for additional equity if needed," argues another LBO expert.
So why a private equity investor in a high-interest-rate environment would continue to leverage its acquisition or provide equity at a higher cost of capital, when such an investment fails to outperform treasuries is anybody's guess, queries one.
Fairly or unfairly, private equity investors using heavy financial leverage to acquire companies have raised debate in almost every industry where such transactions have been introduced. The focus of the concern has always centered on implementation. The utility industry is no different. If anything, experts say, private equity groups will be more heavily scrutinized because of the high degree of regulatory oversight over utilities involved in protecting the public interest.
That is why the LBO by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR) and its investor group purchase of Arizona-based UniSource Energy, parent company of regulated utility Tucson Electric Power, is a good test case to debate whether, and in what circumstances, the LBO structure may or may not be appropriate for the utility industry from a business and policy perspective.
The KKR Deal: The Art of Going Private
On Nov. 24, 2003, the board of UniSource Energy accepted an offer to acquire the company from a private investor group that includes KKR, J.P. Morgan Partners LLC, and Wachovia Capital Partners as limited partners, plus general partner Sage Mountain L.L.C, an Arizona company owned and managed by Frederick B. Rentschler, a former corporate CEO. The approximate $3 billion transaction would leave UniSource Energy's senior management team in place, and the company's headquarters would remain in Tucson. This transaction will be financed with approximately $560 million of partner equity and $660 million in new debt. The leverage added to UniSource from the deal causes the company's debt on a consolidated basis to exceed 80 percent, according to analysts.
"Ironically, while other industry players such as Duke Energy and El Paso are shedding debt as quickly as possible, here is an example of a strategy that embraces debt to achieve an objective," says Boston University's Williams. A private equity specialist adds that an appropriate level of debt can impose a discipline on companies to remain more focused on their core business rather than divert capital and management resources into unrelated businesses.

As one of the World's fastest expanding economies, the host country for next year's FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games heading down to Rio de Janeiro in 2016, Brazil is a country that is certainly going places. One of the so-called BRIC* countries, Brazil now boasts the World's seventh largest economy and is predicted to move into the top five within three decades.
HUBER+SUHNER and our project partners announce in a common press release the ongoing development of a new RF connector interface. An example of the interface application is to connect the RRU (remote radio unit) to the antenna.
In perfect time for the Intersolar, HUBER+SUHNER is launching the new intelligent RADOX® SolarBox HM-Blue-Safety. It forms part of a protection system to prevent fires in PV installations, which has been developed in collaboration with the renowned partner MERSEN.
Biggest single investment in company history Global leader in electrical and optical connectivity solutions HUBER+SUHNER AG today announced the official opening of its new state-of-the-art facility in Changzhou, East China. The opening of this facility enables HUBER+SUHNER to manufacture products from all three core technologies, radio frequency, fiber optics and low frequency in China. This is an important milestone for HUBER+SUHNER as to date copper cables were manufactured in Switzerland only. The highly specialised compounds for cable insulation, which are a key know how component, will continue to be produced exclusively in Pfäffikon.
HUBER+SUHNER has introduced a silicone-free RADOX® anti-capillary cable to meet the demand in the automotive market for barrier sealed copper cables.
Following the launch of RADOX RAILCAT CAT7 cable last year, HUBER+SUHNER is now launching a matching, pre-assembled connectivity solution with an M12 connector.
HUBER+SUHNER introduced with SPUMA_195, SPUMA_240 and SPUMA_600 an extension of the existing product portfolio. In addition to the new cable types is a comprehensive connector range available for individual cable assembly solutions.
The 44th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of HUBER+SUHNER AG took place yesterday, Wednesday 10 April 2013, at the Mettlen sports hall in Pfäffikon ZH.
Whether it's a new installation, an upgrade of an existing network or the need to re-use existing cable infrastructures, today's System Design Engineers must complete a variety of power dimensioning calculations to ensure the correct power balance across the installation. These calculations are necessary to correctly dimension DC power cables or to verify the limits of an existing power supply system.
The popular HUBER+SUHNER customer magazine "Connectivity" is published twice a year and is distributed to our customers worldwide. It provides information on innovations and successes of HUBER+SUHNER, as well as on products and their applications. Connectivity 1/13 was sent out in the middle of March.

Foes of planned cuts to the state's health care plan described them Monday as draconian and cruel.
But absent a last-minute veto by the federal government, the first of these is set to take effect this Sunday.
More to the point, a top official of the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System said after a two-hour public hearing that while there may be a bit of flexibility in what services are slashed and how many are affected, there will be cuts. Monica Coury said that's because lawmakers have reduced her agency's budget next year by $520 million, meaning there is no way to honor the requests of a parade of speakers at a two-hour hearing and keep the program the way it is now.
And Coury also defended the plan as the most humane way to save money.
"What we're trying to do is preserve coverage to the greatest extent possible,'' she said.
Coury said no one currently enrolled will lose coverage. She said refusing to provide benefits to about 130,000 people, mainly adults, who otherwise would be eligible preserves coverage for the elderly, the disabled, children and pregnant women.
That did not satisfy foes.
"It is unfortunate that Arizona state government is balancing its budget on the backs of the most vulnerable, especially when other options are available,'' said Sarah Kader, attorney for the Arizona Center for Disability Law.
But given the legislative mandate, they are left with one option: sue.
"We think this proposal is contrary to the voters' desire,'' said Eddie Sissons, lobbyist for the Arizona Foundation for Behavioral Health, as voters in 2000 directed lawmakers to provide free care for everyone below the federal poverty level. Sessions said a 1998 constitutional amendment bars lawmakers from altering or repealing voter-approved programs.
Coury, however, said the position of the Legislature and the Brewer administration is that the 2000 initiative provides an escape clause if there are no available funds.
The more immediate question is whether the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees all Medicaid programs, will give the go-ahead.
The first cuts come Sunday when the state stops taking applications for its "spend down'' program. This is designed to cover people who do not qualify for AHCCCS but whose medical bills bring their income down to below 40 percent of the federal poverty level, about $7,400 a year. The program covers medical expenses for six months.
Timothy Schmaltz of Protecting Arizona's Families Coalition said that is short-sighted.
"How many new medical bankruptcies is this going to create?'' he asked.
Coury said her agency hopes to get the final go-ahead for that change by the end of the week.
On July 1, the state would stop enrolling childless adults, people who are not required to be covered by federal Medicaid laws but who were added by the 2000 ballot measure. That move alone will shrink enrollment over the next year by 100,000.
Some other changes to raise money drew their own criticism.
The state wants to implement mandatory co-pays from AHCCCS recipients. A fee schedule approved by the Legislature includes premiums of $15 per family member per month, with a $5 charge for an office visit and $30 for going to the emergency room.
Lawmakers also mandated -- and, coincidentally, Brewer on Monday signed -- separate legislation for a $25 fee for a missed doctor's appointment.
There were very specific complaints about a proposal to charge separate fees to those who smoke, as well as people who are obese and do not follow the regimen imposed by their doctors.
Tami Johnson, an attorney with the William E. Morris Institute for Justice, said that is bad policy.
"The stick or penalty approach does not work,'' she said.
And questions also were raised about the weight gain side effects of some anti-psychotic drugs.
Coury said no one who has a legitimate medical reason for being obese would be penalized. And she called the rest of the plan "similar to what many (private) employers are doing with their employees.''
Johnson is doing more than complaining: Her organization late last week filed a 32-page objection urging the Department of Health and Human Services to reject the state's request to waive federal rules.
That, however, has its own implications.
The one thing that does not require federal OK is simply cutting care on Oct. 1 for about 250,000 people, mainly childless adults, who Medicaid does not required be covered. Brewer proposed the enrollment freeze, coverage cutbacks and new charges as a way to reduce the impact.
Coury said the legislation cutting her agency's budget by $520 million appears to be flexible enough to allow AHCCCS officials to make the changes they need without going back to the Legislature.

Google goes on the Blink in WebKit fork FURORE
When Opera Software killed its web browser's rendering engine Presto, and announced it will instead use WebKit, the company did so with the best intentions. WebKit was a surefire bet: by mainlining the brain juice of Google's Chrome and Apple's Safari - the top dogs on the web and on smartphones - Opera hoped to break out of …
I'm looking at doing my own / finding existing alternative to Google docs for real time collaborative editing.
Google is too creepy and anti-privacy. I want it on my own rented hosting with only my authorised users, not Chocolate factory Wonkas..
Re: Simple
It's actually an older product than Google Docs, but has no real marketing.
Re: Simple
The Zoho mail product, while lacking *every* bell an whistle is a pleasant change from GMail...
"Blink, though, is unlikely to see Apple transfer. It is even less likely Microsoft, the web's other browser maker heavyweight, would join. Rather, Microsoft will use the weakness of WebKit and uncertainty of Blink to stress the common sense and stability of sticking with its own browser roadmap rather than trusting somebody else's."
That paragraph rather destroys the argument of the rest of the article, don't you think?
Re: Er...
The argument that somehow someone will come and add a bunch of stuff that gets in the way of what google wants is really quite silly. Google has an easy solution for this, refuse the patch. Every major OSS project does this. Those submitting the refused patch can then fork, but that doesn't affect Google's work.
Chromium WB
Any one know how this will affect the open-source Chromium Browser ? If it remains fully open then I don't see a big problem with Google doing this.
Re: Chromium WB
It's the Chromium project that is moving to fork Webkit to create Blink, hence Chrome also follows. Therefore, any Chromium browser built from the Chromium source will be using Blink as the engine.
Opera is not going to use WebKit
As you said in the earlier Register article, Opera will use Blink not WebKit.
Re: Opera is not going to use WebKit
And as they also said in this article, actually.
Opera too
Elsewhere I'm reading that the Opera people have now decided to use the Blink fork of Webkit, so it's open that much at least. And apparently Blink hasn't changed anything to speak of yet.
Re: Opera too
Well, as Webkit is LGPL licensed according to WP, Blink must be too. So it's open: Google have to publish their changes.
As for the article author's argument that diversity suffers because of a fork which he thinks/hopes will become the dominant platform (instead of errm, now, let's see.... Webkit!?)... what pills has he been popping?
Re: Opera too
the whole point of forking it is so that they can make changes to speak of. if they didn't need to do it, they wouldn't have a problem with using WebKit, would they.
I'm surprised Opera hasn't sued someone or filed a complaint with the EU. That's usually how they innovate. Or at least that's how they get people to remember them.
Re: Opera
Tabbed browsing began in Opera I believe. As did mouse gestures. I still miss Opera's right-mouse-button-hold plus repeated left-button-clicks to go whizzing back through the browser history, since I had to move to Chrome to escape Opera's other innovation: the never-fixed memory leak.
Re: Opera
Utter tripe. Opera have been behind pretty much everything you know and love about whatever browser you use.
HTML5, CSS, yep, both originated at Opera.
Tabbed Browsing, MDI, yep, Opera too.
BrowseJS (Greasemonkey to Firefox users), yep, Opera..
Mouse Gestures, yep Opera.....
I could carry on...
Re: Opera
Pretty much every mention of browser and there's a smug Opera user who'll (correctly) point out that it was in their browser first.
Re: Opera
Actually Opera wasn't the first tabbed browser. Netcaptor was. And Mozilla had tabbed mode (in 0.9.5) 2 months before Opera (in 6).
Re: Opera
Not That Andrew is correct.
Opera isn't the great innovator some people think they are. They're just one of the loudest, always complaining.
Re: Opera
Netcaptor introduced tabbed browsing in 1997. I was still using my amiga back then and I remember being blown away by the tabbed browsing in iBrowse in 99.
Opera was late to the party in 2001
Re: Opera
Correction: Opera had tabs in 2000 depending on which propaganda machine you reference
Re: Opera
Opera 3.x already had "buttons" that partly showed the title of the page, like a Taskbar for webpages. They were tabs in all but name and widget design.
Re: Opera
Opera had MDI since version 1. Stop trusting Wikipedia.
Re: Opera
"Actually Opera wasn't the first tabbed browser. Netcaptor was..." Nope. InternetWorks was. It was around in the mid 90's - 94 or 95 - certainly a couple of years before Netcaptor anyhow.
Re: Opera
Tabbed browsing was available in a browser called InternetWorks, part of suite from O'Reilly's Global Network Navigator. This was a year or two before Opera was released to the public.
Re: Opera
There's an old thread on the Opera forums that points out that there was a Tabbed browser available even before Netcaptor:
the obvious reason
it's obvious why they've done this - they want to make their own <blink><marquee>blinking marquee</marquee></blink> element
Would be nice if IE adopted Gecko.
Vive La Netscape!
Re: Would be nice if IE adopted Gecko.
Why, does it want a slower less compliant rendering engine?
Don't just tell me that IE10 sucks, show me something that Firefox does better in terms of page rendering. If you find that job difficult, what do you think that means?
IE6 used to be the bane of my web development. I used to hate it so much, but I'm not in an entrenched fanboy-fact-denial position. I use Chrome because of the way it looks and the UI, but IE 10 has one of the best rendering engines out there right now, shame the element inspector is a bit poor.
I also love Chrome syncing to mobile.
No vendor prefixes in Blink
I found this interesting; from http://www.chromium.org/blink
"Historically, browsers have relied on vendor prefixes (e.g., -webkit-feature) to ship experimental features to web developers. This approach can be harmful to compatibility because web content comes to rely upon these vendor-prefixed names. Going forward, instead of enabling a feature by default with a vendor prefix, we will instead keep the (unprefixed) feature behind the "enable experimental web platform features" flag in about:flags until the feature is ready to be enabled by default. Mozilla has already embarked on a similar policy and the W3C CSS WG formed a rough consensus around a complementary policy."
So no more vendor prefixes! (at least in Blink) That will make the CSS tidier but it does mean we can't use shiny new features as soon as they become available in one browser.
As someone who is at the sharp end, so to speak, developing frameworks and the like to test my employer's web-based, and other, products, the phrase that's currently presenting itself for inspection is "Just because you can, doesn't mean that you should."
Or, if you prefer the Dilbert version: "If it ain't broke, fix it until it is."
I find this name worrisome, seeing that "Don't blink" is pretty well drilled into my psyche.
Anti trust
Is just me , or does any one else see this coming. You are using google products and a it says best viewed with chrome. You are using google products and it's not quit working right with your browser and you get a pop that says best viewed with chrome as it's code for some non standards HTML that chrome does.
Re: Anti trust
No, you're not the only one -- While reading the article, I was hearing the Ghost of Microsofts Past whispering "Embrace, extend, and extinguisah..."
Re: Anti trust
"Is just me , or does any one else see this coming. You are using google products and a it says best viewed with chrome. You are using google products and it's not quit working right with your browser and you get a pop that says best viewed with chrome as it's code for some non standards HTML that chrome does.
House Rules"
The problem there is Google would lose users and thus eyeballs viewing ads. Google makes no money from Chrome, it, like all Google "products" are there to get people online viewing adverts. Google have for the most part been very standards friendly.
Re: Anti trust
I'm thinking they want to get people on chrome to track you. IF enough people are on chrome, google can make it hard not to see ads. Banning ad block and no script.
Re: Anti trust
Chromium will always be available as an alternative, they are effectively the same browser and if Google did choose to take that path - I doubt they would - people would simply switch to Chromium.
If you look at the time/money Google has piled into Android, is it really that hard to believe they just want to improve the browser/experience?
Re: Anti trust
Well they removed ad block from the play store.
I for one welcome the new Evil Empire of Google
I think Google should be congratulated for finally demonstrating how to bring "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" to the Open Source world. Meanwhile any third-party developer who integrated webkit into their product in the belief it would make HTML rendering easy has my sympathy.
Re: I for one welcome the new Evil Empire of Google
Except that as far as web standards go, there has been no extending or extinguishing. They are merely forking WebKit to try to improve it on their own - namely speed/rendering. There has been no mention of moving away from W3C web standards.
"Google, as a collection of websites, now supports just two versions of Internet Explorer and Firefox – the current release and the one previous."
GMail has already lost my business, because I, like 38% of the world, still use XP. Not a smart move to deliberately exclude 38% of your potential customers, Google. I'm not installing Chrome, either.
Re: Exclusionists
hmm, and how many of that 38% of the world are still using an out of date version of IE?
It's not Google that is excluding you, you're doing that to yourself by consciously choosing to use an old out of date web browser rather than installing something newer.
Expect to get blocked by more than just Google in the future. For example my bank has a similar policy for logging into their online banking service. "Using an old out of date web browser! Nope, you're not coming in."
If you want to blame anyone, blame Microsoft for choosing not to release their newer browsers on XP.
Re: Exclusionists
Additionally you need to check your stats, me thinks they are out of date.
XP usage hasn't been at 38% since back in 2011, and currently stands around 23% (with Win 7 around 53%).
Re: Exclusionists
To be fair, XP is a dead man walking, with just days over a year left until MS stop fixing security holes. It only makes sense for so long to hold off on new features because people are using an outdated browser. Besides, Ignore the prompts and the fundamentals of gmail still work in IE8.
Is Chromium a less objectionable option than Chrome?
Thanks for playing...
And Google says
All your base are belong to us.
So the moment Google sees the last bastion of independence in browsers which is Opera has given it up to use the same one as all the rest Google forks away from it to pull a Microsoft and make their own version. It may not be long with Opera giving itself unto the Beast before Google writes the standards.
Sorry but a little bit ignorant of LGPL Licensing. If Google added optimisations to their products APIs for Blink would those need to be made open to everyone because of the LGPL license for Blink or could they be kept behind closed doors?
For example Microsoft cannot have a true YouTube app on Windows Phone or Windows 8 because Google is blocking access to the APIs, if Google built in YouTube optimisations into Blink would anyone be able to see them and implement them?

If you haven't tried it you'll be amazed how well zucchini complements chocolate. It also makes the cupcakes a bit healthier!
I cut the oil down to 3/4 cup based on previous review. These cakes were moist without being heavy and had a great texture. The walnuts really made them special. Definitely need the chocolate icing - 12 Feb 2013
For some reason, mine ended up with a faint "fishy" aroma and taste. Not sure if it was the zucchini or the oil. I found these a bit too oily for my taste. - 15 May 2010
