Army Wives courtesy Lifetime
Army Wives' top lieutenant is stepping down. Show-runner Dee Johnson was relieved of her duties over the weekend, sources confirm to me exclusively. Johnson's ouster the result of creative differences with producer ABC Studios marks the third show-runner change the Lifetime drama has weathered in a little over a year. Samantha Corbin-Miller was the first to go AWOL in Dec. 06. She was replaced a few months later by Jeff Melvoin (Alias), who stuck around until last August, at which point Johnson took over. This latest exec shuffle couldn't have come at a worse time: Army Wives which ranks as Lifetime's No. 1-rated drama series of all time is only two weeks into production on its highly anticipated 18-episode second season.

Natasha Henstridge, Commander in Chief
Sure, all the headlines have been about the backstage power-shifts going on at ABC's Commander in Chief (Thursdays at 10 pm/ET), but there's a whopper of an on-screen power grab on the horizon. (Three words: Templeton in charge!) On the way to work yesterday, Natasha Henstridge, who plays the silver fox's chief of staff, Jayne Murray, spoke with TVGuide.com about Chief's never-boring term.

Caitlin Wachs, Commander in Chief
You may wonder, as I do, just what Rebecca Calloway's problem is on ABC's Commander in Chief (returning tonight at 9 pm/ET). I mean, wouldn't it be the bee's knees to be the president's daughter? Even though she left us hanging for a full day, TVGuide.com was more than happy to talk — prehiatus, mind you — with the first daughter, aka Caitlin Wachs (pronounced "wax"), about life in the White House, a pregnancy shocker to come and that older costar she's been calling "sexy."
TVGuide.com: So, you blew off the hotshot TV Guide reporter....Caitlin Wachs: Oh, no! [Laughs] Maybe I'll win you back.

Geena Davis, Commander in Chief
Broadcasting & Cable reports that Stephen Bochco, who took over show-running duties from Commander in Chief creator Rod Lurie in the fall, has possibly parted ways with the currently-on-hiatus series, the result of what is being deemed a "bad fit." "Bochco just wasn't about to take notes from [ABC]," a source tells the mag. Exec producer Dee Johnson has had the helm since Bochco went into preproduction on his pilot, Hollis & Rae — and that was always the plan, ABC tells B&C, denying that Bochco is a goner. The magazine also says it remains unclear whether Commander will return on April 18, as previously announced.

Maison Giraud in Pacific Palisades has the greatest croissant in the world
I'm a travel, food and wine writer and I travel the world in search of great eats.
Well I've found the best croissant in the world and it's not in France, it's at Maison Giraud bakery in Pacific Palisades. The croissant genius is baker /pastry chef Noubar Yessayan, who's been with Alain Giraud since his days at Bastide and through his time at Anisette in Santa Monica.
Noubar makes great breads and pastries, but the croissants are a tour de force. I'm addicted to the ham and cheese and usually get two with my coffee. The butter literally oozes out of the pastry. Get a big napkin.
You need to be there early if you want the greatest croissant in the world. He's usually sold out by noon.
The restaurant opened late last year and is doing a bang up business in Pacific Palisades, which sorely needed a high end restaurant. Prices are decent, there's a nice wine list, inventive menu which bows towards Provence, and in parking space challenged Pacific Palisades the restaurant has its own lot in the back, and it's FREE!
They recently installed some acoustic materials which lessen the ambient noise inside the restaurant and the spring menu is just being implemented. Alain gets much of his produce at the local Farmers Markets and has special items grown for him.
Alain's wife Catherine runs the shop next door which has linens and other products from Provence.
Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the weekend brunch includes Bellinis and Mimosas.
Maison Giraud, 1032 Swarthmore Avenue, at Monument Street off Sunset Blvd., Pacific Palisades (310-459-7562 or maison-giraud.com.
re: blanch
Are they still making caneles in the morning?
re: foodiemahoodie
re: blanch
I like Maison Giraud's croissants better than Almandine Maison Giraud also had some great cookies Sunday.
The croissants are indeed good though small, but I'm not sure they are the greatest in the world. The baguettes are also very good.
But I have one comment. It is annoying that they charge tax on their take-out bakery items. Other restaurant/bakeries where I buy croissants (La Dijonaise, Amandine, Le Pain Quotidien, Farm Shop) do not do so. I wish they would change their policy.
re: cothev
The CA tax code on restaurant items is a convoluted mess. It depends on the Restaurant's percentage on gross food sales, and whether a percentage of those sales are from food & beverage that is taxable. For instance, alcohol & carbonated beverages are always taxed; juice & waters are not. Hot beverages like coffee are not taxable, but cold food items like sandwiches & salads sold to go are. Guess it just depends what you are buying and where. Thisdoes not account for taxes the City of LA, of which the Palisades is a part.
re: hlv2eat
Bread Lounge's pain au choc offers consistency of bread, not croissant. Therefore, it fails as a croissant.
The baguette, OTOH, is rather decent. And if you ask kindly, they'll give you a (generous) ramekin of butter for dine-in. That is full of win. The croissant is not.
re: hlv2eat
Agree. Do you prefer Bread Lounge's baguette to Giraud's? It seems to me (Giruad's) to be about as good as a baguette can get.
Also, Maison Giraud has a danish I tried last week. It was pretty great stuff.
I'm not so sure about the greatest croissant in the world (in my book that distinction belongs to Boulangerie Jean-François in Omotesando Station, Tokyo)...
BUT - Maison Giraud definitely, definitely bakes the best croissant in Southern California.
And Chef Alain is so affable, chatting with all his customers. It's a wonderful place to have breakfast.
re: Dirtywextraolives
I'll have to check it out.
I really liked his chocolate croissants at anisette.
re: Dirtywextraolives
Dirty Sexy Olives, when do they open and more importantly by what time would you recommend going at the latest ????
re: Dirtywextraolives
Get there early! Like the truffle ice cream at Kiriko, you'll have to compete for those croissants with myself, Mrs. J.L., and the Chowpup in tow...
re: kevin
Wait, wait, wait... Do you mean you've never tried the croissant at Tarte Tatin?
How can you even say that is your favorite (and you admit this) having never tried it?! "Hands down"?!
This is tantamount to Chowhound blasphemy. Back to yelp with ye!
Come back when you actually have your own taste buds do the talking.
re: Dirtywextraolives
This is in reference to Maison Giraud, right ?
Yeah, I can plow through great croissants like it's nobody's business.
But once I had a bad croissant from one of the supermarkets and it was terrible but then again I should have known that to begin with.
re: Dirtywextraolives
Didn't get into the village until almost 2 yesterday, so only caught the tail end of the PP farmers market. But, amazingly, at MG there was 1 croissant left. I'm sure it paled in comparison to when it was fresh baked in the morn, but we could still tell that it was at the top of the class. There was also a couple pain chocolate remaining; should have tried one of those as well, but decided one butter bomb was enough. But, can't wait to go back.
Just tried MG's croissants. wonderfully thin and crispy layers of pastry. The best croissant in LA for certain.
SF's Tartine is still a shade better, tho.

What to do with tons of herbs
I have rosemary, mint, thyme, and tarragon. I was thinking of some kind of steeped olive oil or vinegar, but I'm interested in other ideas. I think they are too "woody" for pesto. Thanks.
If they're all growing in your garden or are fresh, why not dry them and keep them for future use? If not, try making pickles, and if there are tons of them, try making a pesto anyway and see how it turns out.
this reminds me that i should do the same.
I've made a "winter pesto" similar to this one in the par and it can pretty much on on anything, meats, sandwiches, pasta, you can even add them in the dough if you are making rolls... i'd sometimes use walnuts instead, cheaper and i think the flavors workout well.
I think compound butter will be interesting.
I have oregano, rosemary, majoram, chives, thyme (2), lemon thyme, basil and mint right now.
Buy yourself a dehydrator and go to town... I like to dry a lot of herbs and stock up for winter.
Also sounds like you could use some lamb- use the rosemary for a rub and the mint for a relish, salad or something to go with.
I put thyme in so much I can't even think of stuff. I love it in pasta dishes. Also the mint would be great to make iced tea or sun tea.
If you have lots of mint...make mojitos. Or during the summer, I just keep water in a jug in the fridge, with sliced lemons and bunches of mint
For the rosemary, if you happen to have a charcoal grill, toss them on the coals when you're grilling stuff
In the pesto vein, use the woodier herbs to make oily rubs (with lemon zest) to put on your meats and roasted veg
And as asmodexx suggests, try making pickles. You don't have to do the whole canning thing, google "refrigerator pickles" which involves making a brine which you pour on some vegetables, add any of those herbs (probably not mint, though) and voila
I'm sad...my rosemary and thyme bushes never seem to survive. Tarragon, however, has been a champ, except this year.
Take some of all, maybe add some basil and Italian parsley, chop fine. Dice up some pancetta, fry it crisp, reserve. Boil up some linguini or capellini, and heat some olive oil. When the pasta is done, just warm the herbs in the olive oil, combine with pasta, and toss with the crisp pancetta. When I had a herb garden I'd make this once a week in the summer.
This is a great way to use up an abundance of herbs. This is one recipe but actually you can make any mix you like using this technique. I followed this recipe last year and the result was two pints of fresh tasting herbs to see me through the winter. This year I'm going to get creative with different herb mixes. These herbs have stayed nice and fresh for me for a year stored in the fridge. The salt preserves them. In fact, I'm using the last bit of my last pint tomorrow. Just remember to eliminate any salt from the recipe you use them in. The salt in the herbs will replace it.
Salted Herbs (Herbs Salees)
• 1 cup chopped fresh chives
• 1 cup chopped fresh savoury
• 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 cup chopped fresh chervil
• 1 cup grated carrots
• 1 cup chopped celery leaves
• 1 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup coarse salt
In a large bowl, combine chives, savoury, parsley, chervil, carrots, celery leaves, and green onions.
Layer 1 inch of herb mixture in the bottom of a crock or glass bowl and sprinkle with some of the salt. Repeat layers until all of the herb mixture and salt is used. Cover and refrigerate for 2 weeks. Drain off accumulated liquid and pack herb mixture into sterilized jars. Refrigerate.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
Yield: 5 to 6 cups

An antique French sterling silver and cut crystal liquor or water flask, dating to 1888 to 1903. The tapered body is of fine quality cut crystal, patterned by an all over diamond point and octagon motif, the base having a 16-point starburst. The crystal is stunning and as is typical of these old flasks, the glass was often made by one of the major glass houses of the period. Attributed to Baccarat, in the diamantes pierreries pattern, as the cristallerie used paper labels from 1860 on (which often got lost, worn or washed away) and did not use their acid etched signature until 1936. Often mistaken for perfume or scent bottles, these flasks were originally meant for serving refreshments, to be served in the attached tumbler or drinking cup. These highly collectible 'spirit' flasks are sometimes known as carriage flasks, stow-able and portable for travel. This one here is unique in that it is quite large, measuring 13" in length. The impressive size and gorgeous cut patterning makes this one quite rare. The lid and drinking cup are ornately decorated in repousse, of outstanding craftsmanship and fine detail, featuring a cascade of floral swags flanked by trailing leaves and vines. Simply stunning. Having a gilt vermeil interior to the lid and drinking cup. Hallmarked with the French Minerve 1st standard mark, which depicts the head of the goddess Minerva with a number 1 beside her to denote a silver content of .950/1000 (95% pure silver, and a higher grade of silver finesse than .925 sterling) Also bearing maker's marks for Parisian silversmith Simon Slisonski, active from 1888 to 1903, whose workshop was located at 176 rue Saint-Martin in Paris. Measures 13" in length In overall good condition for its age, some nibbles hidden by the intricacies of the cut pattern, lacking a glass stopper, there is a small dent on the side of the lid.

One Step Away (Live) Lyrics - Unearth
One life, one chance, one time.
One life to see it all.
One shot at tomorrow.
You will never see this time again.
A belief that time is cruelty.
Happiness is just one step away.
This life will never falter.
Determinated that time will never fall.
This way will never fail me.
I will testify.
I swear that I can see the light.
It's born.
It will be forever.
A personal basking thrown.
Life can give us.
Walk the line, break the walls.
See the things you've never known.
Break these walls with life.
One step away.

To begin I took the following statistics from the games that took place in 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2009. As I mentioned in the opening I omitted the 2011 game due to the disparity between the two teams. I looked at the passing statistics of each team, the rushing statistics of each team, the kicking statistics of each team (kicks attempted and made), and time of possession of each team. What I found was a majority of the games played in Bulldog stadium not only were competitive, but came down the Broncos making one or two plays whereas the Bulldogs could not. With that let's take a look at the team's statistics to gain a better understanding of how this series has truly gone.
Passing Averages
Boise – 19 of 30 for 220 yards, 2 td's, 1 int, qb rating of 137.4
Fresno – 23 of 41 for 278 yards, 2 td's, 1 int, qb rating of 120.2
If we take a look at the passing averages of the two teams you will notice they are not much different. While Fresno State averages 50 more yards per game that is due to the fact that they attempt 11 more passes per game. My initial thought process here was that the Bulldogs were often trailing and that is what accounted for the disparity in the amount of passes thrown. However, as we continue on to look at the rushing numbers I quickly realized I was wrong about this.
Rushing Averages
Boise – 33 rushes for 179 yards, 2 tds
Fresno – 33 rushes for 155 yards, 1 td
The rushing averages between the two teams were also far closer than I expected them to be. However, Boise holds a decent advantage here due to the fact that they average less carries and over 20 yards more per game. What this statistic told me was the time of possession would strongly be in Boise's favor due to the fact that they seemed to control the clock far better than Fresno State has in the series. Once again I was wrong.
Time of Possession Averages
Boise – 27:25 per game
Fresno – 32:35 per game
Fresno actually holds the advantage in time of possession. Generally the thought process here is that the team who is able to control the clock more often than not walks away with the win. However, the Bulldogs are 1-4 in the five games being used for this study. What the time of possession tells us is Fresno State has been able to control the clock somewhat throughout the course of this series. Unfortunately that has not led to wins and that comes down to one cold hard fact which will be discussed following the kicking statistics.
Kicking Averages
Boise – 6 for 6, average 1 for 1 per game
Fresno – 5 for 11, average 1 for 2 per game
While Boise and Fresno average the same kicks made per game, the Bulldogs actually average one miss per game whereas Boise has not missed a kick in the five games used for this study. What this statistic tells us is that not only does Boise rarely leave points on the board in this series, but when they do score they score touchdowns. Fresno on the other hand has often had to settle for field goal attempts in which they have missed half of.
Scoring Averages
Boise – 32 points per game
Fresno – 26 points per game
If we review the statistics as a whole we see that Boise across the board averages one more touchdown per game than Fresno (in the rushing department.) In all other categories the two team's averages scoring wise are the exact same. If we look at the final score averages Boise is about one touchdown better than Fresno State. What we can take from all of the statistics included in this article is simple: Boise State executes better than Fresno State when they face one another. Boise States statistics are not the type that speaks of a blowout each time they enter Bulldog stadium. In fact Boise State's statistics say the exact opposite. What we should expect Friday night is another close game between the Broncos and Bulldogs. Just as it has happened so often in the past look for this game once again to come down to one or two key plays in which one team executes better than the other. In years past Boise has survived in Fresno because the Bulldogs have found ways to miss field goals as well as drop interceptions. The best example I can use to provide context to executing took place in the 2009 game. Fresno State had climbed back into the game trailing 41-34 in the fourth quarter. Kellen Moore threw an ill-advised deep ball down the left side of the field directly into the hands of Marvin Haynes. Had Haynes caught the ball the Bulldogs would have had a chance to drive down field to tie the game. Instead Haynes dropped the ball. Boise scored on the next play to put the game out of reach. Boise State executed, Fresno State did not.
Friday night the Bulldogs will not have to change much with respect to what they have done over the past ten years at home against Boise State. The Bulldogs have moved the ball on the ground and through the air relatively well against the Broncos. However, they have not been able to stop the Broncos from the big play nor have they been able to execute in a time of need. It seems ridiculous to think that one or two plays could decide a college football game in which over 100 plays are run. However, in the Broncos-Bulldogs series in Fresno that has happened nearly every time. Sometimes statistics do not tell us what we need to know with respect to how a game will go. In this case I believe the included statistics tell us exactly what to expect in this game: a close game that will be decided by which team steps up and executes when the game is on the line.

I think I've seen both sides of the commercial banking and Farm Credit System debates: My family's farm borrows from a community bank and we own stock in three commercial banks. I was one of the organizers of a Texas state bank and served on the bank's board. I am currently on the board of AgTexas Farm Credit Services as an outside director. I also worked several years for both a commercial bank and a Farm Credit Bank. I'm a professor of agricultural finance and was director of the Masters of Agricultural Banking program at Texas A&M University until it was merged into Masters of Agribusiness. Having said all that, America's farmers and ranchers, as well as rural communities, need both.
One of the reasons is that it creates competition. Another is that when one can't or won't provide loan rates or terms that meets the borrower's needs, the other is there so long as the borrower is credit worthy. On many levels, the two cooperate in loan participations and syndications. Of the Farm Credit Associations I know personally, over 90% of their rural investment loan portfolios were originated by commercial banks.
While Farm Credit can access long-term funds on the national money markets through its Government-Sponsored Entity (GSE) status, commercial banks have been able to access the national money markets through the Federal Home Loan Banks, plus they can access funds through their depositing authority, which Farm Credit does not possess. What's more, after the 1980s Farm Credit System bailout, Congress also created another GSE, Farmer Mac, to give country banks access to long-term, fixed mortgage money just like the Farm Credit System. In many ways, they are twins.
Sometimes, due to mismanagement, adverse economic cycles, loan concentrations, loan losses, a bank or Farm Credit Association will pull back and become more conservative. Then it's really important that the other one is there. Sometimes, when independent community banks merge into or are acquired by a larger banking system, the new bank may not emphasize agricultural loans. When two Farm Credit Associations merge, they still are only chartered to make agricultural and rural loans.
There were also times like the 1980s when the Farm Credit System was basing its interest rates on its pooled (average) cost of funds. They were below the market when rates were rising and above the market when rates began to fall. Fortunately, they are now using marginal pricing so they more closely track the current market. A study by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) found that the Farm Credit System (FCS) lost as much on mismatched funding in the 1980s as they did on loans. Savings and loans also had this problem, but fortunately, most commercial bankers didn't. A 2009 study by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City found the ag banks' funding costs, or total interest paid to fund their earning assets, were lower than the funding costs of the FCS as a whole.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) -- A mother has been sentenced to 12 years in prison in the drunken driving crash that fatally injured her teenage son when he was thrown from the back of a pickup truck.
Johnson City Police said Marla Brumit's blood-alcohol level was .19, more than twice the legal limit, when she lost control of her truck and it struck a utility pole in June 2006.
Thirteen-year-old David Brumit was thrown from the truck bed and later died at a hospital.
Marla Brumit and her 10-year-old daughter, Emily, were injured.
Prosecutors say Brumit pleaded guilty on Friday to vehicular homicide, aggravated child neglect, and aggravated assault.

Anyone bewitched by the fiery passion of flamenco can get his or her gypsy on during an intensive series of workshops by Timo Lozano. Lozano is considered the King of Bulerías for his mastery of one of the most popular and dramatic dance forms. Presented by Clarita Filgueiras and her Flamenco Puro Dance Company, Lozano will be teaching bulerías and giving lessons on playing the cajón, a modern percussive instrument. Classes will be offered at the Ballet Academy of Miami Dance Center today through June 9 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.
Lozano has performed with some of the best-known flamenco troupes in Spain and the United States. He also scripted, choreographed, and acted in the movie Alma Gitana; appeared in the film Flamenco Women; and has taught at his school, Amor de Dios, in Madrid for the past ten years. He is especially good with making beginners feel comfortable with a style that can be difficult technically, Filgueiras says. Registration costs $200.

Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday home in Pulaski
Sleeps 6. 3 Bedrooms. 2 Baths.
Salmon River view and Lake Ontario sandy beaches!
It's not just big fish you can reel in in this beautiful & adventure filled town - the whole area has a lot to offer during all 4 seasons for a fun and memorable vacation! Best kept secret in North-East America! We call Pulaski, 'Alaski' (like Alaska)!!!!
Have a great, either an adventurous or a relaxing, vacation (your choice!) in a 3 bedroom, 1 & half bath house with a view to the famous Salmon River. (Note to fishermen: house is right by the Staircase!)
Lake Ontario's big sandy beaches will please any sun and sand lover. Salmon River water sports are great for a thrill seeker. Hiking trails and awesome pick-your-own fruit orchards are just the tip of all the fun you can have in Pulaski!
House is located in downtown of Pulaski, near restaurants, shops and even a big playground. It's on a corner lot in a family friendly neighborhood.
There are 5 beds in the house. Master bedroom has a queen bed, 2nd bedroom has a bunk bed with 2 twin beds and the 3rd has two separate twin beds. (3 nights stay minimum, please!)
House is fully furnished, linens and towels are included. There's also a washer/dryer in the house (no waders in the washer/dryer please!). Outside we have a 4-seat patio set.
On summer time you can enjoy beautiful Lake Ontario beaches, between 3-30 min. of driving,
(*Selkirk beach state park - non-swim beach, but great for picnics and fishing, 3 min.
*Sandy Island Beach, 7 min.
*Southwick beach, 30 min.)
-Boat renting;
-tubing, canoe & kayak renting on the river;
-mini or professional golfing;
-ATVing on trails.
-Hike on Salmon River Falls trail and then go down 600 feet to the gorge, take a dip and hike/climb back up.
-Another fun thing is to go fresh strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry and peach picking. Or if you're craving for a fresh blueberry pie, stop by at the farmer's market on a Friday and enjoy either the Amish made pies or another farm's products (local wines, breads, candles, soaps, vegetables, wood work and other handy-crafts).
-For the little ones a farm zoo, Old MacDonald's farm, is not too far. Kids can roam around with popcorn loving friendly goats, pet cows, horses, rabbits and even a reindeer. http://www.oldmcdonaldhasafarm.com/
For exact locations and names, inquire the list from us.
Fall time main and most popular activity is the salmon, trout and steelhead fishing. Bring a rod and try your luck yourself! We can also refer a great fishing guide to help you out and give you a lesson. Fall is a great time for the whole family - daddy & older kids can fish while mommy and younger kids enjoy other area's fun activities. An interesting place to visit would be the Salmon River fish hatchery where all the mature salmon are coming 'home' to spawn. It's quite a spectacle to see them jump the water ladders! Take also an interesting tour inside the hatchery.
Another wonderful and fun thing to do is to go apple or pumpkin picking. The orchards are filled with juicy and plentiful different apples. Behling Orchard is most fantastic place!
Winter time activities include great ice-fishing, skiing, snow-tubing and snowmobiling. Fishing guide is available upon request.
Spring time is again great for fishing both in the river & lake.
We have a whole list of other great things to do in the area that we'd be happy to share, just ask!
Enjoy your time in Pulaski and hope to see you soon again!

"Simply being a woman and getting older puts you at risk for breast cancer. The older you are, the greater your chances of getting breast cancer. Also, you are at higher risk if your mother, sister or daughter has had breast cancer. Finding the disease early with mammograms and breast exams by your doctor or nurse can save your life. Women in their 40s and older should get yearly mammograms. For yourself and your family, call your doctor for an exam and mammogram today."

1. A 6-episode anime OVA otherwise known as "Fooly Cooly" or "FLCL". Includes a healthy dose of robots that sprout from heads, randomness, and parodies. Very confusing when you see it for the first time.

Furi Kuri is an odd anime.
dodane przez Hyper Ferret listopad 23, 2003
Anime series that appears on Adult Swim in the U.S. every so often. Despite having only 6 episodes, it is very popular. Although all the guitar whacking on the head, robots emerging out of said head, and said robots fighting one another seems pointless at first,the plot reveals itself upon closer inspection. The actual plot is not to be discussed, it must be figured out. This is a series that many like, but few understand.
Did you see Furi Kuri last night? That was so weird!

Emmalea Elizabeth Lloyd died in a fire at a west-central Indiana day care business Tuesday, the day the Indiana Senate approved a bill that sets long-overdue limits on child care providers who accept tax-supported vouchers.
House Bill 1036 might not have saved the toddler's life had it already been in effect, but it undoubtedly will save others if it becomes law. Her death should give new urgency to the legislation, which still requires final legislative approval and the governor's signature.
Waterman's Wonderland Daycare in Sullivan was the scene of the Tuesday fire. Sullivan County Coroner Jeff Griffith said the 17-month-old was found in a playpen, dead of smoke inhalation. Five other children, ages 1-10, and two adults escaped unharmed.
They went back to get the other child, but it was too late, Sullivan Fire Chief Rob Robertson said.
The state fire marshal ruled the blaze accidental. Officials believe something may have fallen into the baseboard heating unit of the modular structure in which the child care facility was located.
Christa Waterman's day care business is registered with the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration as a Class II child care home, authorized to provide services for as many as 16 children at one time.
Waterman did not participate in the voluntary Paths to Quality child care rating system, where Level 1 shows basic health and safety standards are met and Level 4 indicates national accreditation.
Indiana's oversight of home child care providers and church-based day cares is egregiously lax. With Emmalea's death, at least 23 children have now died in child care settings since 2009; 16 in unlicensed day cares. Three-month-old Coree Carmichael died a year ago at an unlicensed home in Garrett.
HB 1036 requires providers to meet tougher health, education, safety and training requirements to collect federal Child Care and Development Fund voucher payments from parents. More than 1,000 unlicensed homes, centers and day care ministries are now collecting federal voucher payments. They have been zealously protected from regulation, however, by conservative groups such as Advance America, which managed to fend off tougher rules even after 1-year-old Juan Cardenas drowned in a baptismal font at a church day care in 2012.
But the growing death toll seems to have finally stunted the groups' influence. Rep. Kevin Mahan, R-Hartford City, is author of the current bill, and Syracuse Republican Rebecca Kubacki is a co-sponsor. Markle Republican Travis Holdman is a Senate sponsor. He has led efforts to increase child care regulations in previous sessions.
Mahan's bill is assigned to conference committee, where he expects it to win unanimous consent. The legislation also will require the signature of Gov. Mike Pence, who gave a fiery speech in support of Advance America and its battle against child care regulations at the organization's 30th anniversary celebration in 2011.
Mahan said he had not spoken to the governor about the bill but had no reason to believe he would veto it.
This isn't a bill about churches, the former Blackford County sheriff said. It's a bill about protecting Hoosier children. We're not telling a pastor how to pastor his church.
For Emmalea, Coree and Juan, lawmakers shouldn't back down. Anyone who provides care for children – and particularly those who take federal dollars to do so – must meet the requirements necessary to keep them safe.

November 28, 2014
CLINTON, Ky. (AP) -- There is mixed reaction to a jury's recommended sentence of life without parole for a West Tennessee man convicted of killing a Kentucky teenager.
The jury in Clinton, Kentucky, made the recommendation Wednesday night after eight hours of deliberations. Prosecutors had asked for the death penalty for 31-year-old Quincy Omar Cross of Tiptonville.
The jury found Cross guilty on Tuesday of kidnapping, raping and murdering Jessica Currin. Her burned body was found in 2000.
Joe Currin, Jessica's father, says he is relieved that this part of his family's ordeal is over.
Defense attorneys say Cross is grappling with the recommended sentence.
Cross will be sentenced May 21 in Hickman Circuit Court.

80 Guidebook for Managing Small Airports of the many valuable uses of the airport such as air ambulance, firefighting, aerial agricultural spraying, search and rescue, and law enforcement. Other commitments to the community might include the safe operation of the airport, support of a full range of aviation activities including medical transport, business access, cost-effective management of the airport, and community compatibility. Airport management should be aware of community needs and strive for envi- ronmental stewardship by minimizing the impacts and intrusion of noise, planning for compat- ible land use development, and being a "good neighbor." An airport can enhance the image of the community by providing first-class facilities. An airport manager should actively engage in community outreach. Presenting an airport pro- gram to local civic organizations is an excellent opportunity to interact with the community and instill pride in the community about the many benefits of the airport. Another way to reach out to the local community is through the schools. Bringing young people to the airport for tours or other aviation programs is a rewarding way to educate the community. Other activities should be explored as well, such as holding an Aviation Career Day at the local high school. Media Relations An airport public relations program must address dealing with a variety of media sources. Airport representatives may benefit from establishing a liaison with local print, television, and radio media outlets. The airport manager is the ideal point of contact with the media and will likely be the most informed and authoritative speaker on airport issues. It may be advantageous to be proactive with the media in reporting airport news. A positive relationship with media representatives and reporters through personal contact will help the air- port manager deliver publicity to the public and determine what is newsworthy. Preparing press releases for a newsworthy event or action will generate interest and help ensure that accurate news is reported. In preparing news releases, the airport manager should be factual and concise. The AOPA has a variety of guidance materials and examples of press releases available. Public Relations Public relations is primarily about communication. Marketing, advertising, and community relations are all linked to communicating what the airport is and does that may affect the pub- lic interest. Understanding the airport's role in the community and the social and economic impacts of the airport will help the airport manager communicate with the public. Effective pub- lic relations programs will communicate the mission, vision, goals, and values of the airport. Perception of the Airport in the Community A positive perception of the airport in the community is a valuable thing. Airport managers should take time to research the community's opinions about the facility. All too often vocal opponents of the airport will view it as a place for hobbyists. Community leaders and elected offi- cials will sometimes view the airport as a noise-generating "playground" for recreational users, and therefore expensive and unneeded. A solid public relations program that involves the com- munity will help educate the public on the value of the airport to the entire community and will help counter negative public opinions. Public relations should not only focus on public opinion but also on political action. Elected local, state, and federal officials often make decisions on issues that affect airports. Building

On the label it suggests you use it on a daily basis and in an unexpected amount (6 scoops for an intense workout?!- I only use two). If you're going to follow their recommendations, buy the larger amount. It does give me energy though! And the fruit punch tastes great. I wish it came with a shaker cup as a bonus instead of a pen.
OK Product

This flavour is the best that I have tried of the range, so far. Not especially keen on Grape & have yet to try Orange. Are stand alone EAA's necessary? Probably not, but this does supply a " halfway " solution to a more healthier pre-training drink, in my view. As for being necessary, read Suppversity.com where studies show that a cheap whey with the addition of some casein is really all that any of us need throughout the day. Forget the additional EAA's / BCAA's / Glutamine - none are necessary. Apparently FACT!

The history of asbestos dates to the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean – and perhaps even earlier. Among the earliest records documenting the history of asbestos use are those from ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. These records show that it was considered a miraculous material and used in everything from tablecloths to candlewicks.
In ancient civilizations, the fire-resistant properties of asbestos proved very useful for many common products, yet its dangers were recognized even then. Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder wrote in the 1st Century A.D. about slaves who fell mysteriously ill and died after working in asbestos mines. The disease known today as asbestosis was then called "the disease of slaves."
The history of asbestos shows its use faded over time, likely due to its reputation for sickening and killing asbestos miners.
The Industrial Age
Asbestos re-emerged in the 19th century with the Industrial Revolution. The early industrialists found many uses for the mineral and its popularity in manufacturing rose, along with occupational exposure to asbestos. Although reports of lung diseases among asbestos workers and their families emerged as early as 1897, asbestos use by industry grew unabated.
Throughout the 20th century, the history of asbestos includes documented use in more than 3,000 construction materials and household products, exposing thousands to its potential dangers. It was also used in hundreds of Navy ships leading to occupational exposure to asbestos for many military personnel.
The History of Asbestos: Laws
The history of asbestos continues in the early 1960s, when medical researcher Dr. Irving Selikoff became the first public figure to connect asbestos exposure with serious illness. In the following two decades, this documented link showing how asbestos causes mesothelioma and other diseases led to lawsuits against negligent corporations that exposed their workers to the deadly material without protection. Asbestos litigation peaked in 1999.
Asbestos is now banned in over 60 countries. Most Americans mistakenly think that asbestos was banned in the U.S. decades ago when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) initially banned it in 1989. That ban was overturned on a technicality in 1992. Asbestos, while heavily regulated, remains legal in the U.S.
The History of Asbestos Continues
Asbestos exposure is a growing problem worldwide. In the latest chapter in the history of asbestos, key producing nations such as Canada and Russia export large amounts of it to India, China and other countries with poor safety standards. Asbestos experts fear these nations are on the brink of the same health catastrophe that the U.S. has experienced.
