Last Sunday I participated in a Burger Challenger put together by one of the two cooking groups that I belong to. Those of you that follow MPK on Facebook already have heard the buzz. Thank you all for your kind comments! Wow what an exciting that it was!
So finally here it is, a recap of the events and how the burger came together! From the get go I knew I wanted to make a Persianized Burger. So I grabbed a pen and paper and started organizing my thoughts.
I went shopping and bought all the ingredients above. First and foremost I bought ground beef that was 85% lean. I went to work with my ingredients and made the first trial run burger.
This fabulous looking burger was made with Gourmet mayo made with Persian Basil, also known as Holy Basil, which was inspired from a recipe that I developed and wrote about in one of my articles over at the Examiner. I made the patty topped with crumbled feta cheese, some sumac, a mixture of diced onions and chopped parsley, a couple of slices of tomatoes, some Persian pickles, and lettuce. Our friend Michael was visiting from out of town and he came over for lunch. Fortunately, I had two people to give me feedback on my first test run.
The consensus was that although the burger tasted good, there was way too much going on. Both Michael and The Sous Chef suggested simplifying.
I went back to the drawing board. I eliminated the Gourmet Mayo and substituted it with Mast-o-Musir, yogurt with shallots. I also substituted the lettuce with Sabzi, Persian herbs. I made one burger with feta cheese and the other without.
This time around it was just The Sous Chef and I. Both burgers tasted good, but we both agreed that the feta cheese overpowered the rest of the ingredients… so did the Persian pickles.
On the day of the challenge I packed up all of my ingredients to go and off we went to the house where the competition would take place! There were three of us competing in the beef category. The instruction were for us to make one burger each for the judges, and then make 5 more for the rest of the attendees to taste.
The clock began ticking as soon as our burgers hit the grill! Jon, Becky, and I were in business! It was super hot that dat and the temperature rose even higher once the challenge began!
While my burger was grilling away I prepped my presentation plate on a whim. Yes, I had completely forgotten about this part of the rules of the challenge. I had to think on my feet and use what I had on hand. Jon, the host, was kind enough to lend me one of his plates! Unlike the other two contestants I did not toast my buns. I simply spread a generous amount of Mast-o-musir on both of the buns. Once the burger was ready I topped it with some sumac, the onion and parsley mixture, two slices of tomatoes, and a generous handful of herbs.
Wow that burger looked appetizing! Off we went to the judges' table.
Here are the three burgers sitting in front of the three judges. Mine is the first one, Becky's is in the middle followed by Jon's.
Each burger was cut into four pieces and each judge was given one quarter of each burger. Each judge had a paper where they wrote down their scores and also took notes as we each presented our burgers and the ingredients used to make them.
This is Becky's burger. It was simply delicious! She made a Gourmet mayo by blending roasted peppers and the mayo together. Her patty was made of beef and chorizo. The patty was topped with cheese, if memories serves right it was mozzarella. On top of the patty and cheese Becky had made this incredibly delicious slow cooked onions with jalapeño. She had placed the onions along with slices of jalapeño on top. When you bit into her burger you were hit with various delicious levels of flavor. The onions were sweet while the jalapeño was spicy. As soon as The Sous Chef gave me a bight of Becky's burger, we both knew that I had some serious competition!
Jon's burger is one hell of a burger too. Oh my! Are you ready for this? Here it goes: a homemade beef paddy which had Brie cheese hidden in it, topped with a pancetta medallion, slow cooked onions, arugula, and I believe there was mustard and ketchup involved as well. Yummy!
In the end much to my amazement and surprise my Persian Burger won with 28 points our of 30!! The score was based on the following: taste:15 points and presentation: 13 points.
Much to my amazement I had one point more than Becky. It was fiercely close!
I had such a blast participating in this challenge. It was fun coming up with this recipe and I hope that many of you out there will consider making it. One of the judges expressed that the Persian Burger taste so healthy and light. She really liked the combination of the herbs as well and how they all went well together. I was beaming with pride inside because to me that is the epidome of Persian Cuisine.
But more than anything, it was exciting for me to make a burger that was created by thinking outside the box while at the same time introducing and sharing the flavors that I grew up with. This burger is truly like nothing you have tasted before!!
So here is the recipe for the one and only Persian Burger!
Ingredients (serves 6 burgers)
2 lb ground beef (85% lean)
2 medium onions
3 tomatoes
1/2 cup fresh parsley, packed
1 small shallot, fine diced
1 16oz tub Lebni
Sabzi, Persian herbs
6 hamburger buns
Salt & Pepper
Cut one of the onions in half. Reserve one half and grade the other half along with the other onion in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add ground beef and mix well until all well incorporated. Cover bowl and place in the fridge for at least one hour.
Mix fine diced shallots with Lebni to make Mast-o-musir. Place back into the Lebni container or another container and refrigerate. The more the Mast-o-musir rests the better it tastes.
Dice the remaining half onion. Rough chop parsley and mix with onion.
Divide ground beef mixture into 6 patties. They should each weight between 7 and 8 ounces. Place on a hot grill and cook for five minute or so. Then carefully flip and cook for another 3 minutes or so, or until cooked to your liking.
To learn how to make and cook a perfect burger please check the post How to Make & Grill (or Pan Fry) a Perfect Burger
Spread mast-o-musir on both the bottom and top bun. Place beef patty on top of the bottom bun, sprinkle with a nice amount of sumac. Add some of the onion and parsley mixture and 2 slices of tomatoes. Sprinkle the top of the tomatoes with a bit more sumac. Top with a generous handful of Persian herbs. Place the top bun on top and serve!
The idea here is to bite into your burger and taste all the different flavors! YUM!

The birth control skin patch contains medicine that prevents pregnancy. The birth control patch is one of the most reliable forms of birth control. For every 1000 women who use the patch exactly as instructed for a year, 3 women may get pregnant.
The patch must be prescribed by your healthcare provider. The brand name of the patch is Ortho Evra.
The patch contains man-made forms of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. They are the same hormones used in birth control pills. The hormones are on the sticky side of the patch. When a patch is on your skin, the hormones move through the skin and into your bloodstream.
The hormones keep the ovaries from releasing eggs. If the ovaries don't release eggs, you cannot get pregnant. The hormones also cause a thickening of the mucus on the cervix and change the lining of the uterus. These changes also help prevent pregnancy.
When you use the birth control patch, your periods are regular and usually lighter. Menstrual cramps may not be as painful. The symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) may not be as bothersome.
If you have any questions, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for more information. Be sure to keep all appointments for provider visits or tests.

In 2008 the Government made a commitment to above-inflation duty increases on beer.
Since then, while duty has increased by 42%, revenue has only increased by 12%.
High taxes make your drinks more expensive, with tax often constituting a third of the price of a pint.
In the last 4 years, 5,800 pubs have closed and 60,000 jobs have been lost.
Beer is already taxed more in the UK than almost every other country in Europe.
Britons pay 40% of the EU beer tax bill, but consume only 13% of the beer.
Facts about Beer Duty are taken from: the House of Commons Library research briefing Beer taxation and the pub trade, the British Beer and Pub Association and CAMRA.
We'll be holding a series of events, as well as distributing thousands of mashbeertax beer mats to pubs and bars across the country.
We would really like to see the beer mats in action. If you find one of our beer mats in your local pub, hold it up, take a picture and send it in to us with the name of the pub and the location.
We will add your picture to our campaign gallery, plot your pub on our campaign map and enter you into a draw to win a case of Shepherd Neame Spitfire Premium.

In this video segment adapted from NOVA, learn about photovoltaics and see how two families are using solar technologies in their homes. First, an animation illustrates the process within solar panels that transforms sunlight into electricity. Then meet Phil Reavis, Jr., who explains his interest in solar energy and the environment, and how his family was able to install solar panels on the roof of their house to produce electricity. In addition, tour the custom-designed home of Bill and Debbie Lord, which uses both solar electricity panels and solar hot water panels, and learn about state incentives and net metering benefits.
This video is available in both English and Spanish audio, along with corresponding closed captions.
Visit the program page here.
The Sun is an essentially unlimited source of free energy—the amount of solar energy that reaches Earth's surface in just one hour is more than the total amount of energy that the world would use in a year. Furthermore, unlike the consumption of fossil fuels, the consumption of solar energy does not produce harmful emissions. The ability to capture and convert solar radiation into usable energy is a great opportunity to make use of an environmentally friendly and abundant source of energy.
While the solar technology industry is currently experiencing rapid growth as interest in renewable energy increases, humans have actually been harnessing solar energy since ancient times. For example, some of the earliest ways to make use of solar energy were to use glass to focus sunlight to light a fire, and to build homes and bathhouses facing in the sunniest direction. Today, there are three main types of solar energy technologies: concentrating solar power (CSP), photovoltaics (PV), and solar heating.
CSP uses reflective surfaces to concentrate solar radiation onto receivers that then convert it to heat. Solar energy collected this way is used to produce electricity with conventional steam turbine generators. Because CSP plants rely on direct-beam sunlight, they can only be located in areas that receive plentiful sunshine. In the United States, most of the CSP plants are located in the Southwest, although there are plants in development in other areas. CSP technologies are generally used on a large scale, although smaller systems are also possible.
For most small-scale applications, such as residential buildings, PV and solar heating systems are used. PV systems convert sunlight directly into electricity using special cells made of semiconductor materials that produce an electrical charge when struck by solar radiation. This type of technology is especially useful for rural areas that do not have access to the electrical grid; there are many programs that offer financing for PV installation in rural or poor areas of developing countries (such as Bangladesh, China, India, Kenya, and Mexico). Grid-connected PV systems are also growing in popularity: as of 2009, there were over a million homes with solar panels feeding energy into utility grids. Germany accounts for a large part of the global market, although various incentives, such as subsidies, tax credits, and net metering (the policy that allows the excess power generated by a home to be sold back to the grid), are helping to make this technology more widespread.
Solar heating gathers solar radiation and transforms it to heat air or a fluid. A common type of solar collector, a flat-plate collector, consists of a flat box with a transparent cover and a dark absorber plate. Heat builds up inside the box, warming the air or fluid (typically water or an antifreeze solution) that flows through it. Solar heat collectors, such as hot water heaters, are common in several countries; nearly 50 millions homes worldwide use solar hot water, and there is a growing trend to install these systems. Some countries, such as Israel and Spain, even have mandates that require minimum levels of solar hot water for new buildings.

WHY HER She's ''Las Vegas''' icy but thawing pit boss.
WHY NOW She doubled her odds in ''Haunted Mansion.''
Thomason is no stranger to the telly in her native Britain, and these days it's hard to miss her Stateside. The 27-year-old has been on U.K. TV since age 14 -- including simultaneous gigs on dramas ''Playing the Field'' and ''Where the Heart Is'' five years ago. These days, she's hitting the U.S. as ice queen Nessa Holt on NBC's ensemble-driven ''Las Vegas'' and playing dual roles in Disney's ''The Haunted Mansion'' as Eddie Murphy's wife and a lovelorn ghost. It was while shooting the Disney flick, in fact, that she won the part of the take-no-prisoners pit boss on the new NBC drama. Despite her workaholic ways, Thomason does crave ''a bit of domesticity'' further down the road...in the form of a Jack Russell terrier: ''I've never had a dog, and the only fish I ever had I killed,'' she says. ''There was a freak heat wave in London. I came back from a weekend away and my fish were boiled. So I hope I don't spoil the dog.''

Gunmen killed at least 29 people in two separate attacks in coastal Kenya overnight, the interior ministry said.
One attack happened at Hindi trading centre in Lamu county, near the scene of attacks in which 65 people were killed last month. And another attack took place in the Gamba area of Tana River county.
"There were two attacks in Lamu and Tana River last night. In Lamu we have nine people dead and in Tana River we have 20. The number could rise," Mwenda Njoka, a spokesman for the ministry, told Reuters nes agency.
Broadcasts from an al-Shabab affiliated radio station said they had claimed responsibility for the Hindi attack, which took place around 15km from Lamu, once a popular tourist resort.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack in Gamba.
A spokesman for Somalia's al-Shabab armed group had issued a statement late on Saturday claiming that its fighters had carried out an attack in Kenya.
"The attackers came back home safely to their base," al-Shabab's military spokesman Abdulaziz Abu Musab said, claiming that at least 10 people had been killed.
Previous attack
Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for last month's attack at Mpeketoni, saying it was in retaliation for Kenya's military presence in Somalia as part of the African Union force backing the country's fragile and internationally-backed government.
Survivors of the attack on the town and a similar attack the following night in a nearby village reported gunmen speaking Somali and carrying al-Shabab flags killed non-Muslims and said their actions were revenge for Kenya's military presence in Somalia as part of the African Union force fighting the group.
Kenya's president, Uhuru Kenyatta, however, denied that al-Shabab were involved and instead blamed "local political networks" and said that the victims had been singled out because of their ethnicity.
The attackers appeared to target Mpeketoni because the town is a mainly Christian settlement in the Muslim-majority coastal region, having been settled decades ago by the Kikuyu people, the same tribe as Kenyatta.
Police also arrested alleged separatists from the Mombasa Republican Council, a group that campaigns for independence of the coastal region, as well as the governor of Lamu county, who is an opposition politician.
The unrest in the coastal region has badly dented Kenya's tourist industry - a key foreign currency earner and massive employer for the country - at one of its traditionally busiest times of the year.
Meanwhile, a Russian tourist was shot in the head on Sunday by robbers trying to steal her camera in the port city of Mombasa.
The woman was touring Fort Jesus, a Unesco World Heritage Site, with two other people they they were accosted by three armed men.

This morning, a NoMaas reader named Matt Williams sent us an email exchange he had Wednesday with longtime Philadelphia Daily News sports columnist, Bill Conlin. Bill caused a bit of a stir when he penned an article proclaiming the Phillies have the best infield of baseball's modern era. The point of this post isn't to debate Conlin's findings or evaluate Matt's counter-argument. Rather, we'd like to show you Bill Conlin's standards of professionalism.
Matt's initial email:
I read your article about the Phillies infield today. I had several major issues with it. I'm not saying that the Yankees infield is the greatest of all time, but I am pretty sure it's better than Philly's.
First of all, Ryan Howard is unreal vs right handed pitching. But he is a horrible hitter vs left handed pitching. He's below replacement value vs left handers. His OBP last year was below .300 and his slugging % was barely over .350 vs left handers. Because of the fact that Philly overpaid him, they are forced to use a subpar hitter in the middle of the line up vs left handed pitching. Prior to his slight rebound last year, he had declined in 3 straight years in BA/OBP/Slugging %. Mark Teixeira on the other hand is a switch hitter that is much more constistant as a hitter. He won't put up 50+ HR's, but he won't have an OBP less than .300 either. Remember, the goal in baseball is not to create an out. I would say it's a push because Howard is THAT good vs right handed pitching, but his weakness vs left handed pitching is too great to just say he's a better hitter. Defensively I would call it a push.
Chase Utley is a better player than Robinson Cano, no arguments there.
Jimmy Rollins is fast declining as a SS. His BA/OBP/Slugging % numbers have decreased 3 straight years. Jeter is still Jeter. Defensively, Rollins is better but Jeter's offense more than makes up for that.
Alex Rodriguez is hands down better than Placido Polanco and it's not even close.
Saying that A-Rod puts an asterisk on an all time great infield is just a cop out. He admitted to PED use years ago. That has nothing to do with the 2009 or 2010 season. He was never suspended for steroids because face it, MLB looked the other way. It's not fair to penalize A-Rod for something he admitted to before joining the Yankees when you don't know if someone on the Phillies used or not. One can make an arguement that it's not natural that Ryan Howard hit 58 HR's in one year, which is more than A-Rod ever did. How do we know Howard wasn't juicing that year? He never hit more than 50 HR's in any other season.
If you add longevity, the Yankees infield is clearly better. The 4 players have been teammates 2 straight years and it could very well end up being together 5 or 6 years depending on what happens with Robinson Cano.
Polanco is the difference. If Philly had a better 3rd baseman, it would be a fair argument.
Nothing disrespectful from Matt, right? Tone of the email isn't inflammatory. Well, Bill Conlin responded to this email with one word and one word only:
Upon receiving this, Matt became a bit agitiated and replied:
I'm sorry that you can't admit that Ryan Howard sucks vs LHP and saying Polanco is better than A-Rod because of steriods is just LOL. What's sad is that you probably have a Hall of Fame vote. Like I said earlier, what does taking steroids in 2003 and earlier have to do w/ playing 3rd base in 2010? Just out of curiousity, if someone on Philly get's caught w/ PED or steroids, are you going to retract that statement?
Bill Conlin quickly fired back:
Had a HOF vote for 44 years, ace. Retract this.
Wow. How do writers who treat readers like this keep their jobs? Newspapers nowadays aren't really in the position to respond like this to their main source of revenue generation.

Green Right Now
Wisconsin, Ohio and Florida's losses became gains for 24 states when the U.S. Department of Transportation announced $2 billion in awards for a variety of rail projects earlier this week.
The re-shuffling of federal dollars — necessary because the conservative Republican governors of Wisconsin, Ohio and Florida returned federal rail grants – will mostly benefit high speed rail projects in the Midwest, the Northeast and California, which is developing a Sacramento-to-LA high speed rail system.
But Texas, which has so far largely been on the sidelines in the rush to assemble a national train network, also was beneficiary of the new awards. The Lone Star state got $15 million for preliminary engineering for a high-speed rail line that would link Dallas and Houston.
This relatively modest grant, for the preliminary engineering work to connect two of the nation's largest cities, might seem like an obvious inclusion for the growing list of passenger rail projects that could ultimately reunite America, and create tens of thousands of construction and operational jobs.
There were barriers, however, to hopping on the fast track.
The first: Pure politics. Texas' Governor Rick Perry, who has railed (no pun) about Washington politicians and Big Government delivers Tea Party rhetoric about big budgets and government overreach that echoes that of his co-patriots in Wisconsin and Ohio and Florida who thumbed their noses at high speed rail subsidies. Those governors made a big show of turning back the "Washington" money for high speed rail. They certainly didn't win many friends among the infrastructure-minded Obama Administration.
And Perry, whose administration has sued the Obama Administration over the EPA's pending regulation of greenhouse gases, has already pre-alienated himself from the Washington establishment. But the Texas governor signed off on Texas' application for rail money, as did both transportation committees in the Texas legislature.
Texas also has had to scramble to get in the high speed rail game because it had no comprehensive plan for the state until 2009 when Obama and train-riding champion Vice President Joe Biden announced that they were funding high-speed rail through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Texas' transportation officials have been working "feverishly" since that time to get a plan in place, said Bill Glavin, director of the Texas DOT's rail department. That division produced a holistic plan in 2010 detailing several options for Texas to improve existing passenger train service and create new routes.
The void before 2009-2010 was not the DOT's fault. Many inside and outside of state government had envisioned a need for high-speed rail more than 20 years. But that vision had been dashed by competing business interests, dampening calls for passenger rail in the Lone Star state. (Though advocacy groups such as the Texas High Speed Rail And Transportation Corporation have helped keep the vision alive, if not high on the political agenda. In addition, Texas had politicians who pushed for passenger service, including Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, who helped improve existing Amtrak service that cuts through the middle of the state.)
In the late 1980s, a group of Texans had formed a plan to connect Dallas, Houston and Austin/San Antonio with passenger rail. The proposal for "the Triangle" train made good sense to those who thought the state's booming population justified multi-modal opportunities. They saw the rail service as a plus for business and a needed alternative to car travel, which was causing pollution issues in urban areas.
But Southwest Airlines, then confined to hopper flights within Texas and adjoining states by the "Wright Amendment," which had been crafted to protect D/FW Airport and resident carrier American Airlines from competition from Southwest, opposed passenger high-speed rail service for the state.
This tangled web of ulterior motives, however, could be unraveling, says Glavin.
Today, he notes, Southwest can flight across the nation, and is due to fly unconstrained by 2014 as the Wright Amendment is phased out.
Now the challenge is for Texas to decide which passenger train routes to pursue. The money awarded this week will be pegged to a Dallas/Fort Worth to Houston corridor that would parallel I-45, and while it's never easy to route a train, it could be a relatively easier to route this one, because much of the right-of-way is already there, Glavin said.
High speed rail still makes sense, possibly more than ever, for Texas, because it could connect three of the nation's top and still-growing 10 metro areas – Houston, Dallas and San Antonio (along with nearby Austin), he said. The Texas DOT train plan also notes that connecting all these cities also could pull in major universities, like UT-Austin, Texas A&M and Baylor University, along with several middle-sized cities.
The high-speed rail proposed to link D/FW and Houston would move passengers at up to 150 miles per hour and could be completed by 2020, if not earlier, according to the Texas rail plan.
It would help alleviate highway congestion by offering commuters, business travelers and tourists alternative transportation that would be cost-competitive with air travel and faster than auto travel, according to the plan.
"We've got critical mass, says Glavin. "And the fact is, it is continued to grow."
While some Texans have had a less than great experience with Amtrak, because of its delays and sporadic schedules in the state, there's also evidence that passengers are ready and willing to ride trains when offered a dependable daily schedule, he said.
Glavin pointed to the success of the "Heartland Flyer" that connects Fort Worth and Oklahoma City on a daily basis. The Texas 2010 passenger train plan also notes that Amtrak's Eagle service from San Antonio to Chicago (through Austin and Dallas) has seen a doubling of boardings and alightings – more than 200,000 compared with 100,000 in 1998 — since it began offering daily service instead of every third day.
The high-speed rail system also would be more eco-friendly than auto travel, helping reduce urban air pollution by emitting about one-third of the emissions of cars, according to the federal DOT.
The Texas DOT's plan calls for electric trains, which are considerably less polluting than diesel-run engines, though it doesn't project how that electricity would be generated.
The infrastructure also has a smaller footprint than highway construction, Glavin noted.
"It's a good technology for moving lots of people efficiently and effectively if it's done right."
- Previously, Texas received federal grants for "Signal Timing" south of Fort Worth to reduce travel times ($3.5 million in the Recovery Act in 2009) and for a service plan and environmental impact work on the Oklahoma City to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor ($7 million in FY 2010).

5. Sterling Bancshares
Sterling Bancshares (SBIB) of Houston, Texas, saw its shares return 23% during the first quarter, to close at $8.61 Thursday.
The company announced a on January 18 an agreement to be acquired by Comerica (CMA) of Dallas, in an exchange of shares valued at $1 billion.Comerica agreed to exchange 0.2365 of its shares for each share of Sterling, and valued the deal at about $10 for each share for Sterling, whose stock had closed at $7.70 on January 18. Comerica agreed to pay about 2.3 times tangible book value for Sterling, according to SNL Financial, for a deal that was considered expensive in the current industry environment. Comerica's shares declined 13% during the first quarter, to close at $36.72 Thursday. When factoring-in the exchange ratio and the decline in Comerica's share price, Sterling's shareholders would have received value of $8.68 a share, if the merger had been completed on Thursday. The deal is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter. Sterling is scheduled to announce its first-quarter results on April 19, with analysts expecting the company to earn two cents a share. One of the 14 analysts covering Sterling rates the shares a buy, while the all remaining analysts have neutral ratings.

Fly Aboard a Wright-Patt Globemaster
WPAFB -- Wright-Patterson Air Force Base on Wednesday invited ABC 22/FOX 45 along for a firsthand look at the flight missions of the 445th AW and 434th ARW, both premier air mobility units in the Air Force Reserve Command.
Weighing in at 300 tons, the C-17 Globemaster is the Air Force's primary vehicle for delivering troops and cargo anywhere in the world. But when it's carrying bombs, cargo or troops taking off with enough fuel for the mission can be too much weight. So Wednesday's mission is training these troops to refuel the plane mid-air as we fly to Kentucky and back.
"It's been pretty nonstop the last few years," said Ben Strader, pilot with the 72nd air refueling squadron.
Strader has been deployed several times to Afghanistan just to do this job.
"If there's any long-range mission, any flight mission or cargo mission, without making multiple stops, they're going to need fuel in-flight," he said. "Without us to give them the fuel lives could be lost."
At 26,000 feet in the air, the pilots must link up with the C-17.
"For us the important thing is timing, we have to be in the right place at the right time and give them the gas that they need so they can complete their mission," said Rob Schneider, pilot with the 72nd air refueling squadron.
"I've put the boom down 10 feet, he knows I'm ready for contact," said Master Sgt. Christopher Nack, air-refueling instructor with 74th air refueling squadron.
With both planes traveling about 300 mph, connecting the two planes takes a lot of precision.
"Flying at night when the weather is bad and the receiver is low on fuel, he doesn't want to go down in Afghanistan, that's the last thing he wants to do so he needs that fuel very bad," said Boom Operator Instructor Master Sgt. Jerry Cummings. "If you've ever flown in turbulence you know how bad it can get."
It can take almost an hour to transfer the fuel from one plane to the other.
"You can see how inherently dangerous the job is," said Cummings. "They're extremely close to us. Probably 50 feet or less away from us. I mean, when you have two airplanes that size that close, the job itself is inherently dangerous. That's why we're out here doing these training flights to keep our currency up and our confidence up so when we have to do in real world it's like second nature."
Built by Boeing, the C-17 Globemaster III is the newest, most flexible cargo aircraft to enter the airlift force. At 174 feet long, 55 feet high and 169 feet wide, the 585,000 pound C-17 cost $202.3 million and can fly globally with in-flight refueling. Its four engines each push 40,440 pounds of thrust.
The 445th Airlift Wing at Wright-Patterson currently has nine C-17 Globemaster III aircraft that have logged more than 50,000 flight hours. More than 20,000 aeromedical evacuation patients have transported out of the Middle East and more than 78 million pounds of war material have been transported through them.

+ Explore The Players' 84th season
I had the pleasure of sitting next to supporters of The Players, Joanna Brown and Shirley Foss, and board member Dick Pell, at the season-announcement party Saturday, Jan. 5.
When the season was announced, here are the shows in need of sponsors:
• "Steel Magnolia's" Sept. 18 through Sept. 29
• "Crazy for You" Oct. 23 through Nov. 3
• "White Christmas" Dec. 4 through Dec. 15
• "Carousel" Jan. 8 through Jan. 19, 2014
• "Sordid Lives" Feb. 12 through Feb. 23, 2014
• "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," March 19 through March 30, 2014
• "Urinetown The Musical," April 16 through April 27, 2014
+ You can take it with you (to San Francisco)
Asolo Rep's season opener, "1776," had much acclaim in Sarasota. So much so that the costumes, the set and most of the professional cast is heading to San Francisco for a run at a theater there. Producing Artistic Director Michael Donald Edwards announced more details will come at a later date.
Another interesting announcement from Edwards was that following each showing of "You Can't Take it With You," the set hands strike it within 30 minutes, and the technical process begins for "Glengarry Glen Ross." Asolo Rep is one of three theaters in the nation to be able to accomplish such a feat in such little time.
+ Volunteers branch out
There are more than 100 volunteers signed up to participate in the building of Patrick Dougherty's outdoor exhibit (read the article on Dougherty at YourObserver.com). President of Sarasota Art Museum/SMOA, a Division of Ringling College of Art and Design, Wendy Surkis said at the volunteer barbecue, held Jan. 6, that the turnout was because of the article's call for volunteers.
I'm one of the said volunteers who will be working with Dougherty to help build his sculpture made of crepe myrtle, which averages 1-to-2 inches in diameter. Beginning Jan. 7 and continuing through the next three weeks, you can see Dougherty and his volunteers erecting the sculpture from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a 2 p.m. daily docent tour. Prior sculptures have lasted anywhere from two-to-four years.
+ Judge Barbieri gives her marks
Last weekend, Assistant Director of Sarasota Ballet Margaret "Maggie" Barbieri was a judge at the Youth America Grand Prix at Tampa's David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts.
"I enjoyed watching and judging the competition," Barbieri says. "It was good to see some amazing talent participate and interesting to see the different schools and training techniques."
She said she couldn't be more proud of the Sarasota Ballet students.
There were 10 female and two male students from the Margaret Barbieri Conservatory of Dance, including the youngest pas de deux entry of Olivia Ratner and Eddie Duffy, both 11.
"All the judges gave most of our students excellent marks," she says. "I'd like to give credit to Isabel, Javier (Dubrocq) and Dex (Honea) for all their hard work."

Stabbing victim laid to rest in Jackson
Updated On: Nov 09 2013 01:49:06 PM CST
Family and friends gathered Saturday to say goodbye to one of four people killed in Jackson last week.
Funeral services were held for Michael Wilson at Westhaven Funeral Home.
Authorities said Wilson was fatally stabbed on Moon Street on the same day Eldra Gibson, Sharrod Brown and Ashley Taylor were found dead inside a separate residence.
Javondus Beasley was charged with the three slayings, but investigators are still working to determine if he's connected to Wilson's death.

Guy Paints Over Graffiti Piece, Becomes A Graffiti Piece
This is a shot of London stencil artist DS's first piece at a location, and the piece he replaced it with after taking a picture of the dude who painted over it. When reached for comment, the council member who painted over the original had this to say, 'No fair, that's my bad side.' Haha, I have a bad side too. "You're a sphere." WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY?
Thanks to Judy G.B. and Amelia, who agree mocking your enemies is one of the little things that still makes life worth living.

German railways hope to fight graffiti with thermal imaging drones
Drones aren't just for war, creating airborne logos or patrolling Aussie beaches. If German railway operators have their way, they'd be used to capture graffiti artists, too. Motivated by the high cost of property damage incurred by spray-painting vandals (around 7.6 million euros / $ 10 million a year), the Deutsche Bahn will soon begin testing miniature helicopter-style drones in the hopes of identifying those responsible. Each remote-controlled chopper is equipped with an infrared sensor capable of thermal imaging and producing high-resolution photos that would be useful to authorities. The tiny aircraft can also fly up to 150 meters (500 feet) and as fast as 33 mph and would cost about 60,000 euros ($ 77,550) each. The Bahn assured the public that the mini drones will be restricted to highly targeted areas, which should help allay those privacy concerns.

German railway company recruits surveillance drones in fight against graffiti vandals
Having apparently concluded that traditional security cameras are no longer fit for the task, German railway company Deutsche Bahn plans to deploy surveillance drones in an effort to thwart rampant graffiti vandalism affecting its train cars. Each small drone will be equipped with an infrared camera and dispatched for overnight shifts at Deutsche Bahn's largest train depots. Flying nearly 500 feet overhead for up to 80 minutes at a time, they'll attempt to catch graffiti vandals in the act, recording their activity for use as potential evidence. As for why it's taking such a drastic approach, the rail company says it sinks millions of dollars each year into cleaning up after the perpetrators. To assuage public privacy worries, Deutsche…

SLIPS liquid repeller is inspired by carnivorous plants, enemy to insects and graffiti artists alike
When a team of Harvard researchers wanted to create the ultimate liquid- and solid-repelling surface, they looked toward the Nepenthes pitcher plant, where curious insects check in and never check out, thanks to slippery walls that lead to their tiny, horrific fate. The tropical plant inspired the creation of SLIPS (Self-healing, Slippery Liquid-Infused Porous Surface), a synthetic material that utilizes nano/ microstructured substrates, capable of repelling just about anything you can throw at it. During a visit to the hallowed Crimson halls, the team was kindly enough to show off the material through a series of messy, messy demos, dropping water, motor oil, liquid asphalt and newly-mixed concrete on aluminum and glass. The team even went crazy with a can of black spray paint, comparing the results to a Teflon surface. The outcome was the same in all case — an amazingly repellent material.
The team has published a number of papers on the stuff, including ones that demonstrate its ice- and bacteria-repelling properties. Oh, and like its natural inspiration, SLIPS does a great jobs keeping bugs off its surface. You can check out our demos and one unhappy ant filmed by the SLIPS team. No insects were harmed in the making of our video, at least — and the lab assures us that ant had a good life before learning the hard way why it shouldn't mess with Harvard scientists.

The Tennessee basketball team ranks seventh in the preseason ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll, which was released Friday. The Vols are the highest-ranked SEC team, topping SEC counterparts Arkansas (No. 19) and Kentucky (No. 22) in the poll.
It is believed to be the highest preseason ranking in the history of the program. Tennessee finished last year's regular season ranked 18th.
The Vols' schedule includes four teams ranked in the poll. In addition to the Razorbacks and Wildcats, Tennessee plays Memphis (No. 3) and Gonzaga (No. 14).
North Carolina gets the nod at No. 1, edging second-ranked UCLA by five points. Memphis, Kansas, and Georgetown round out the top 10.
In addition to returning four starters, Tennessee welcomes two transfers -- guard J.P. Prince (Arizona) and Tyler Smith (Iowa). Smith was named Second-team Preseason All-SEC at the conference's media days earlier this week.
The Vols open play Nov. 2 in an exhibition against California (PA). The regular season starts Nov. 9 with a home game against Temple.

COLOGNE, Germany - Ford World Rally Team returns to action in Brother Rally New Zealand later today with both drivers able to draw on past experience of how intense the fight for victory there can be.
Both Jari-Matti Latvala and team-mate Petter Solberg have enjoyed the spoils of victory by just a handful of seconds after dramatic battles which were only decided in the final kilometres.
Latvala and Miikka Anttila won the most recent fixture there in 2010, emerging from the last speed test with a slender 2.4sec advantage after a thrilling four-car showdown. It is the fourth-closest finish in the history of the FIA World Rally Championship.
Six years earlier Solberg won by just 5.9sec following a similarly action-packed rally. Fittingly, both drivers clinched victory in the classic Whaanga Coast special stage, one of the sport's iconic and most challenging venues.
Rally New Zealand, round seven of the 13-event WRC, is the last outing before a six-week break and the 500th championship encounter since the series began in 1973. Drivers regard the flowing gravel roads as among the best in the world and both 27-year-old Latvala and 37-year-old Solberg, partnered by Chris Patterson, list the event as one of their favourites.
The cambered roads around the North Island Maori-stronghold of Auckland are as smooth as a billiard table and positively entice drivers to attack. They wind through lush, green countryside and the scenery is as stunning as the roads, the picture postcard views over the Tasman Sea from Whaanga Coast being some of the finest of the championship.
Late June is the middle of winter in the Land of the Long White Cloud and rain will be a constant threat. Car reliability will be crucial, as the opening two legs offer just a 15-minute remote service midway through, in which teams can make repairs using only parts carried in the cars. This will be particularly true in the first leg which, at 209.60km, contains more than half the competitive distance.
"The first day will be tough because the stages are long and there is just one short service zone to make repairs if we have problems," said Latvala. "We will have limited access to spare parts, so it's vital to avoid mechanical issues. The famous Whaanga Coast stage will be run twice in the leg and it's one of the most challenging tests in the championship. There are always dramas on those roads.
"It was the final stage in 2010 and to come out of there and find I had won the rally was a great, great moment after such a hard battle. Four of us had the chance to win but the stage caught out the three others. It is one of the sport's great challenges.
"The roads are used daily by the public so they have a smooth, hard surface with a lot of camber. As you cross the camber through the flowing corners, it feels as though the car is dancing. It's a great feeling and it's hard not to attack over such wonderful stages. Because it's mid-winter, the risk of rain is higher and the roads may not be quite as smooth as we have been used to," added Latvala.
Solberg, too, has great respect for Whaanga Coast. "It's a special place. It's incredibly twisty and hugely technical towards the finish and a stage where the drivers come to the fore. It's tricky, but a driver can really make a difference with a good performance through there," said the Norwegian.
"It's winter in New Zealand so there's a good chance the temperatures will be low and rain is likely. That will make it hard to generate heat into the hard compound tyres, which will be our primary option for the rally. It's the same for everyone and there's nothing we can do about it, but the other side of the coin is that the Fiesta RS WRC works well with hard compound rubber.
"Looking back to the previous round in Greece, I knew the risks when I raised my pace by half a per cent on the final day and I made a mistake that was costly. But I could sense victory then. I want to win and I'm confident that victory will come very soon. New Zealand would be a great place for it to happen," he added.

BURGAW, N.C. -- This week, the Pender Alliance for Teen Health (PATH) officially opened the first school-based health center in the county.
On Wednesday, parent Nakebia Fennell got to see the what the new center at West Pender Middle School offers her two boys. She said having this facility nearby will make a big difference.
"Their pediatrician is in Wilmington, and that's about 25 minutes away from here, so we do a lot of traveling when we have to go there," said Fennell.
And she's not alone.
Pender County Schools said half of the families in the district drive more than 35 miles to see a doctor.
On top of that, a survey shows 50 percent of students in the area use the ER, school nurse or an urgent care center as a primary care provider.
But now the students have an actual doctor's office staffed with a full-time nurse and case manager and a part-time nurse practitioner and therapist right at school.
"Many times a school nurse may really suspect the child has strep throat, for instance, the school nurse cannot diagnose," said Kim Collins, the lead school nurse for Pender County Schools. "If the school nurse suspects that and the child is enrolled in school-based health center, she can send them here."
While a trip to the office means time away from class, officials said the other alternatives are far more detrimental.
"If you got to travel that far, it's very difficult, gas and time off of work, it's just very hard, and so they let things go too long and then they end up in the emergency room with a real crisis," said Collins.
Fennell said this center is the perfect cure for children in a rural county needing TLC.
"Your child is going to go to school so they have that access already here," said Fennell.
PATH said federal, state and local funding along with their partnership with the school system and health department made the center a reality.
They said they hope to open up the facility to families in a year or so.

East Lansing, Mich – On December 11th, 2013, an issue with the Impact 89fm (88.9 WDBM-FM) transmission system caused the main transmitter shutdown during the evening broadcast. Upon inspection by the chief engineer, it was determined that the problem was not with the transmitter itself, but with the transmission line leading to the transmitter. The chief engineer was able to get one of Impact 89FM's transmitters to power on and broadcast at a significantly reduced power. We continue to broadcast at this reduced power setting until the system can be evaluated and repaired.
Because of the holiday timing and subsequent severe weather, we have been unable to have a consulting team come in to evaluate the system. A team is scheduled to arrive on January 9th to assess the equipment and give an evaluation of necessary repairs.
"Once we have the equipment evaluated, we can take the next step towards getting back to full power," said Ed Glazer, General Manager for WDBM (Impact 89FM). "The one positive to come out of this situation has been the overwhelming support from our fans. We look forward to getting the music flowing at full power as soon as possible.."
Impact WDBM-89FM is the student-run radio station at Michigan State University in East Lansing, and is available to be streamed online at Impact89fm.org. Located in Holden Hall, Impact 89FM hosts more than a dozen shows and has over 100 DJs and staff.

During the fourth season of the Brussels edition of the famous film festival, over 2500 people saw eighteen documentaries at four venues.
The human rights documentary film festival was held in Brussels from 12 to 19 April 2010 under the auspices of President of the European Parliament Jerzy Buzek, former President of the Czech Republic Václav Havel and Ambassador Milena Vicenová, the Permanent Representative of the Czech Republic to the European Union.
The festival was opened on 12 April in the Bozar Centre for Fine Arts by the Czech Minister for European Affairs, Mr Juraj Chmiel, and the Director of the People in Need (the largest Czech NGO), Mr Šimon Pánek. It was closed a week later by Ambassador Milena Vicenová at the Permanent Representation of the Czech Republic to the EU. The award for Best Film was given to Kimjongilia by N. C. Heikin, who was present to accept the award.
The festival was co-organised by the Czech Permanent Representation with support of a wide range of partners, namely the Permanent Representation of Poland to the EU.
