Updated: Great stories from 1928 and '29 say Grotto Avenue was once a black neighborhood, and Cole Farm bred racehorses.
This puzzle is different -- we'll show you a 1920 story about the demolition of "the long, narrow, two-story wooden building," but even then the Journal didn't know what else to call it. Did it have a name? Please post the answer in comments at the link.
Founded in 1894 to catch horse thieves, by 1924 the vigilante group targeted fruit and vegetable thieves who came from the city in cars. George A. Billington was Chief Pursuer.
Rival restaurants at Narragansett served large, flaming red lobsters to patrons for 50 cents in the 1860s and '70s. In our 1914 story, one of the last of the old hotel men tells the early history of the beach resort.
Updated: Built in 1908, R.I. Gov. D. Russell Brown's summer house at Oakland Beach in Warwick is now the Top of the Bay restaurant at 898 Oakland Beach Ave.
Newport hanged the buccaneers in 1723, Capt. Kidd came to Conanicut, and a Newport native gone bad changed his name to spare his family when he slipped into piracy and plundering.
The headline on our 1909 Sunday Journal article was "Curious Story of Abandoned Mansion by the Sea." The photo is from 1980, when it had been rescued and come up in the world. Where is it, what's it called now? See a larger image and hazard a guess in comments at the link.
Billie Holiday, above, was just one of the jazz greats to perform at the very first Newport Jazz Festival in 1954. The Providence Journal sent two reporters and a music reviewer and covered both nights. Read their stories here.
Update: A.P. White's store at the stagecoach stop didn't exist when Alexis Eustaphieve, the Russian consul, and his wife Sarah, summered in Tiverton for 40 years and had portraits painted by Gilbert Stuart.
To be both fetching and fiercely effective during WWI, women knitted woolens for the troops, forwent sleeves to conserve wool and wore pants for war work such as gardening.
Lanky, bespectacled Walter Savage Ball was 42, and a features editor when he was sent to cover the war in France and its aftermath for the Providence Journal. He stayed 15 months, 1917-1919. His beat was Rhode Island soldiers, their lives, and neighborhoods in parts of France he dared not name.
An unexpected story from the garden trenches of 1918: Rhode Island gardeners and farmers -- all of them, apparently -- had planted string beans. Beans were everywhere but shoppers searched in vain for carrots.
Donations to the Providence Journal's "Our Boys in France" Tobacco Fund raised $94k in about 18 months during WWI ($1.5 million in 1914 dollars). Rhode Islanders held benefits and took up collections at sporting and cultural events, much as they do now for the Summertime Fund, and soldiers sent thank-you cards back to them.
A hundred years ago this month, a cascade of ill fate and hubris began "the war to end all wars" — which turned out to be only the first World War. On Sunday, we kick off a special series: "World War I: How it shaped the century and our lives today." These pages are a preview of that series.
Updated: It's June 24, 1873 and there's a party on North Main with fireworks and an arch to celebrate the widening of the street. It's also the biggest night of one philanthropist's life.
Updated: Maribelle Cormack, director of the Roger Williams Park museum, wrote a novel about Capt. Nathaniel Soule, who lived in the Zachariah Allen House when he wasn't whaling in the South Pacific.
"When B. F. Keith took all his circus savings and rented the little store on Washington street in 1883, there was no such thing in America as vaudeville. There was variety -- but variety had such a bad name that no decent woman would think of going to see it, and few men of any standing in the community cared to risk their reputations by going to a variety house."
In Dogtown, motorcycles raced and the dealer built an airplane using Indian engine parts. Upper South Providence had a well, and herds of cattle moved through on the way to its slaughterhouses.
"Landmarks in the Discard" is the metaphor our Sunday Journal headline writer used in 1912 to sum up the rapid changes the Providence urban landscape was undergoing: The city was losing a passel of its past and gaining wider roads and some new buildings, too.
Updated: We're in Jamestown in 1912, and "shoe-box-lunch trippers" aren't welcome at the new Casino, which is private. The folks who gather at John E. Watson's general store know that Jamestown's "destiny was to cater to an wholly different class."
Updated: Ashaway's Jacob Babcock house was the first stop in R.I. on the Underground Railroad, hiding and helping fugitive slaves on their way to Canada. Our commenters brought us their first-person memories of this spot, filling in the history.
Once upon a time, in the 1870s, Pawtuxet ruled the New England oyster world. The Cove was a natural harbor of refuge, and the River broke up the ice that might keep shellfisherman from their beds.
Gen. Ambrose Burnside led a parade and laid violets on graves the year R. I. made Decoration Day a legal holiday. In 1924, 50 years later, we still thought we'd been the first state to do so.
In the run-up to Memorial Day, we offer memories, funny and not, from Civil War veterans who talked to a Providence Sunday Journal reporter in 1908, 43 years after the war ended.
Updated: In 1923, gypsies leased Narragansett Speedway in Cranston for four months, threatening to sue anyone who called them gypsies. This photo shows the gates and offices built by Amasa Sprague for Narragansett Trotting Park in 1867.
A century ago, the Journal asked Civil War veterans what their worst wartime meal had been, and published their recollections on May 24, 1914. We're asking today's vets the same question: Please serve up your worst food memories in comments.
Updated: Lying-In Hospital had to fight a stigma that its mothers were the 'very poor, without friends and without a home.' The Journal wrote stories reporting what it was really like inside State Street a century ago, which you can read at the link. The photo depicts visiting hours in 1922.
In 1936 the Journal detailed the "Blue laws of unbelievable severity" that "must have made exile pleasant" for the man who founded Rhode Island after being banished by the Massachusetts Bay Colony and repudiated by his own church at Salem. We've republished that story here.
Here's a house on the move as it passes the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul, not far from the hole it came out of. Where was it going? What house is it, why was it worth moving, when did this happen, where is it now?
Veterans Memorial Parkway in East Providence was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. in 1910, but the road was "impassable" by 1925, when money finally became available to make it a thing of beauty.
Clam chowder costs 10 cents on the menu on this old wooden building. Those days, the billboards and the building are gone, but one clue remains unchanged. Where are we, when, who or what changed everything here?
On March 20, 1935, convicted murderer Huddie Ledbetter, who would become a blues legend with his 12-string guitar, played the Providence Art Club on Thomas Street. The Journal sent a reporter, who wrote the story for the next day's paper.
This early 19th-century mansion sits in the woods in northwest R.I. Where is it, who built it, why is he famous? (The folks in the photo are his descendants.) Come back Sunday for the answer, with more photos and stories from the Journal archives.
Not all the pages from our archive fit the theme of our Sunday Time Lapse "history mysteries," so we're launching a midweek edition of photos and pages from our past that are too good not to share. We launch with fashion reports from Paris in 1914.
Update: Artist Gino Conti bought the Welcome Arnold house and vacant lot across the lane -- once the site of the Maria Brown house -- "to prevent anybody from building and shutting out the light."
This old Brown house is sadly gone. It was a famous place in its time, historic, connected both to the Brown family and to the Gaspee Affair. Where was it, and what can you find out about its fate?
This mixed-use neighborhood blends shops and residences and convenient transportation. Too bad it couldn't last. What happened to it? What's there now?

Time Lapse, our weekend history mystery, is on vacation this week, but you can look back at one of the 62 earlier stories sorted by lead photo at theTime Lapse Gallery or by headlines on the blog platform: Time Lapse Blog.
This fire is a well-known event in a R.I. spot many of you will recognize -- where and when?
These 30 old steps, and the buildings they connect, were "redeveloped" some 50 years ago. Where were they, and what were they called?
It's raining, but the crowd gathers anyway on the Fourth of July. Where are we, what year, what's happening here, and who (and why) is that man cameoed in the upper left?
A fully dressed crowd has assembled on a Rhode Island beach, some with gas buggies, others wearing straw boaters (that don't seem to blow away).
In 1953, Cornell's Men's Wear occupied this corner but, long before that, what took place in a much older building here earned the spot a place in history.

In honor of Memorial Day, which originated as "Decoration Day" after the Civil War to honor the nation's dead on both sides of the conflict, we're posting perhaps the strangest photo we've found in our archives.
This illustration led the Providence Sunday Journal one holiday weekend. What was the event, where and when?
We're in Providence, and one of these buildings dates to 1730. It and those adjacent to it were deliberately removed.
We're on a corner somewhere on the East Side of Providence, and there's some signage to help you. Where are we, and when?
The fat caption attached to the back of this photo leads with, "At The Old Corner Grocery" and, fortunately, tells us where it is and when it was shot and names the people in the picture. Where is this R.I. store? When was the photo made?
There's much to investigate in the signage in this photo, which captures a sad moment in Rhode Island history. Where are we, when and why?
No signage, but the cars should help you date this vintage R.I. waterfront photo. Where are we? When?
It's Easter Sunday, and our photographer was there when this well-dressed congregation left the church, some about to enter shiny carriages. Where are we, and what year was this photo taken? Click the photo to see a larger version.
Our photo this week is very old -- from 1880 -- but at least one of these buildings is still standing. Where are we?
It's time to eat corned beef and zeppole, celebrating Irish and Italian heritage. Our two icons above were legends in their own circles. Who are they, where were they in these photos?
In a refreshing change from recent weeks, some of the buildings in this old photo still exist. Click on the photo to see a larger version. Where are we, and when was this shot?
Is one of these men your grandfather? Where is this fire department, and why are they posing? When?
There seems so little there today, by comparison.
Where are we, why, and what's happening here? The answer is simple, but the trail of it led us back to 1896, and forward to Hollywood.
Breaking: We discovered the date of last week's Westminster Street photo, and it's part of a snow removal story! Go there: Westminster and Snow...
We found this wonderful photo of the same scene after a 1903 snowstorm, and it had the same "July 3, 1934" datestamp on it as our lead photo. But it also had a stamp indicating in had been published in the Autogravure section of March 11, 1934.
We don't know who the man behind the wheelbarrow might have been, but there's a tiny clue in an earlier Time Lapse entry about when he may have been photographed.
In the 1930 census, both Mabel and James list themselves as divorced, living together with her much older sister at 46 Gallatin Street.
Updated Jan. 18:That 1915 story: The 1997 clipping above mentions a piece about Julia Lippitt Mauran published in the Journal on Oct. 31, 1915, "Back to the Farm: From a Woman's Standpoint." We've now published the original page and its runover. The beginning is the least legible part, but the rambling intro is skippable. There's interesting stuff there about the new "live wire" in the community, reclaiming the farm, regrading a road, and Julia complains bitterly about the difficulty of getting workmen who'll listen to a woman. Click that photo at right to read the story.
Abandoned, boarded up, windows busted, but in someone's eyes, a gold mine: The original caption on the back of the photo reads, "...to be wrecked to get a million bricks and tons of copper and other materials for defense."
Time Lapse is taking a brief vacation -- we'll be back after the holidays with another Rhode Island history mystery. If you recognize someone from that 1935 photo above, please chime in in comments below.
This week, Time Lapse offers not a puzzle but a holiday gift to the history buffs who read it: A reproduction of a full page in The Providence Journal of February 4, 1912 headlined When Dickens Came to Town.
We go way back this week: What is this, when was it made, what landmarks do you recognize here?
Where are we, when, and why was The Providence Journal photographing this scene? There's signage to help you name the place, but who did upset the apple cart, the banana cart, and the tomato cart, too?
This week our focus shifts from geography to cultural history. Perhaps you can tell us more about what's happening here. We're on Maywood Avenue in the Conimicut section of Warwick, it's early June, 1914.
The train has arrived at this Rhode Island station, but we don't know much about it. Where are we, when, and what do you know about this steam locomotive?
The faction that called the warehouses "shabby, ramshackle old rookeries" prevailed.
It's Armistice Day in Rhode Island, and this won Best Float in the parade. Where is this parade, and when?
It's raining in this photo, and the waters are rising under the bridge near the White Tower, but it's not a scene from Hurricane Sandy. Where are we? When?
Where are we, when, who's in the photo, and how many small businesses run out of this one shop, anyway? There's lots of signage to help you solve the mystery.
This week's mystery taps your visual memory -- little research required. We've cropped the only street sign, and there are no retail shops to Google. What year would those cars suggest? Where are we?
It's Aug. 28, 1921, and we're looking at a building that changed and survived and became a go-to place for many Rhode Islanders.
Coincidentally, this week we acquired the capacity to turn our microfiche archives of every Providence Journal ever into digital files. To our astonishment, the Providence Daily Journal's coverage of this celebration comprised almost three full pages. Here they all are, at a readable size. They aren't perfect -- early scanning seems to have produced darker sides, but we hope to get better at this.
Time Lapse explores the unknown this Columbus Day weekend: We don't know what or where this scene is.
Our old photo will have a Columbus Day theme this week, and will be published on Sunday.
This rooftop is teeming with life. Where are we, when, what's going on here?
This is a detail of a larger photo, and the clues are almost entirely visual -- not much signage to Google this week.
Editors note: When we started Time Lapse, we hoped that some unidentified people and places would be familiar to readers, and together we'd be able to put together some of these puzzles.
This weekend's Time Lapse photo is from the second half of the 20th century, and the house on the hill to the right dates to the late 1700s. Where are we, and what's happening here?

Arlington, VA—Twice as many Americans live with schizophrenia than with HIV/AIDS, but a major report by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) reveals most Americans are unfamiliar with the disease.
"Americans are not sure what to think about schizophrenia," said NAMI executive director Mike Fitzpatrick. "They know schizophrenia is a medical illness affecting the brain, but it is largely misunderstood. There are gaps in knowledge— and access to treatment. Misinformation, misperceptions, and misunderstanding represent a public health crisis."
The report is available at www.nami.org/schizophreniasurvey. It is based on an on-line survey conducted by Harris Interactive among the general public, caregivers and individuals living with schizophrenia.
Approximately two million Americans live with schizophrenia. Two-thirds do not receive treatment, even though the disease can be managed successfully.
The survey found the average age at onset was 21, but a nine-year gap exists between symptoms and treatment.
"We know what to do to increase recovery, but it requires public

(UPDATED COVERAGE, Jan. 15) Owners of Grant Family Farms missed a Jan. 11 deadline to file a list of creditors and debts in the farm's multi-million bankruptcy case, saying there was too much paperwork to get the job done on time.
On Jan. 15, Andy Grant requested a four-day extension, which Judge A. Bruce Campbell granted, making the documents due at the end of the day.
The judge has not yet ruled on a request from one creditor, Localization Partners, Boulder, Colo., which asked for an expedited hearing on whether it can have the perishable crops the farm has in storage to repay part of a $1.5 million loan.
The lender said the bankruptcy trustee assigned to the case does not object to the judge allowing Localization Partners to take possession of the harvested crops immediately. Localization Partners asked for the original Jan. 31 hearing date regarding the crops to be moved up because of the perishable nature of the asset.
Grant Family Farms, Wellington, Colo., filed for bankruptcy in December. The farm is was one of Colorado's first certified organic operations, according to the farm's website. It was also a Community Supported Agriculture farm.
Meg Bucklin, the CSA coordinator for the farm, told The Coloradoan newspaper it had about 4,500 members, making it the second-largest CSA farm in the U.S.
Localization Partners contends the farm has beets, onions, squash, potatoes and other perishables worth $100,000. The lending company also said the farm has 26,000 bushels of corn worth $112,000.
The company wants the perishables now before they lose value. It also wants the winter crops that are growing, including spinach and wheat, citing a value of $300,000 at harvest.
Court documents show that Andy Grant, president and second-generation owner of Grant Family Farms, signed a deal in June for $1.5 million with Localization Partners. The note was due Dec. 15.
A hearing on Localization Partners' request for the crops is set for Jan. 31. However, founder Michael Brownlee said Jan. 10 that their attorney met with the bankruptcy trustee that day to request an earlier hearing.
Brownlee said he could not provide many details, but he said Grant first met with Localization Partners in March. He said the farm was out of money and was not going to be able to provide the produce its CSA members had already paid for.
"We knew that would be a terrible blow, so we set up the arrangement and the CSA members got 25 of the 26 weeks (of produce) they had paid for," Brownlee said, adding that he believes the Grants' 2,000 plus acres would remain in organic production.

What to pray for in seeking companionship?
Sometimes, when there is so much need in the world, I feel pretensious and selfish to pray for my own needs. More than asking God to bring new people into my life, I find myself just being grateful for the relationships I have and trusting and accepting that, despite the circumstances of being alone as I get older, that I am not really alone. I find myself asking for forgiveness and for the strength to accept myself as a child of God -- as we all are.
I am wondering what we should pray for on a site like this -- a place where we share, pray, hope and dream? Thanks in advance for your kind words and thoughts.

Levofloxacin-resistant Streptococcus mitis Endophthalmitis: A Unique Presentation of Bacterial Endocarditis

Abstract: Endogenous endophthalmitis is a rare complication of infective endocarditis and has been decreasing due to treatment with effective antibiotics. We highlight a case of endogenous endophthalmitis due to levofloxacin-resistant Streptococcus mitis presenting as infective endocarditis. The patient was an 85-year-old Caucasian male with a medical history significant for hypertension and diabetes mellitus, who was referred to our hospital for evaluation of positive blood cultures without fever, chills, malaise, back pain or other systemic symptoms while being treated for vitritis and endogenous endophthalmitis. He was discharged on levofloxacin 750 mg PO for 14 days. After 8 days of outpatient therapy, the patient presented to our emergency department. His right eye was injected, with normal movement of extra ocular muscles and decreased visual acuity (20/160). Auscultation of the heart revealed III/VI holosystolic ejection murmur heard best at the apex. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed a 1.4cm x 1.1cm independently mobile lesion on the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve compatible with a vegetation associated with moderate mitral regurgitation. The patient was started on IV ampicillin (2gm every 4 hours), intravenous ceftriaxone (1gm every 12 hours) and intravenous gentamicin (3mg/kg once daily for two days). Upon insistence of the ID department at NYHQs, the initial alpha-haemolytic streptocoocus reported by the clinical microbiology laboratory at the first hospital was identified as Streptococcus mitis from 2/2 blood cultures. Susceptibility using Etest methodology gave the following MICs (mg/ml): penicillin, 0.125, ceftriaxone, 0.19, gentamicin, 0.24 and levofloxacin, 4.0 by Microscan testing. A PICC line was placed and the patient was discharged with total of 6 weeks of intravenous ceftriaxone (1gm every 12 hours), weekly CBC and outpatient evaluation of possible mitral valve replacement. The full recovery of our patient, including resolution of endophthalmitis, recovery of vision and absence of mitral valve vegetations on transesophageal echocardiography after completion of 6 weeks of antibiotic treatment, suggests that the endogenous endophthalmitis was an embolic manifestation of infective endocarditis. In conclusion, our patient presented with endogenous endophthalmitis with blood cultures positive for Streptococcus mitis in the setting of native mitral valve endocarditis, as the presumed source of infection. Endogenous endophthalmitis even without constitutional symptoms should be highly considered as a manifestation of septic emboli due to subacute endocarditis. This case highlights the importance of obtaining pertinent information from prior hospital admissions including antibiotic susceptibilities. Lack of timely communication between the microbiology laboratory and treating physician during the first hospital visit, patient lost to follow up or reliance of quinolone empiric therapy can lead to a dire outcome.

The latest trend in interior design is downsizing. People of all ages and demographics find that a change in lifestyle to smaller living spaces is the answer to their present needs. Couples are finding themselves in large homes where they raised their family and now have too many bedrooms and rec room spaces. Many people who retire find they would rather have a smaller living space to keep up, so they will be free to travel more on vacation and visit family and friends. Suddenly, single men and women are moving to smaller spaces that feel cozy for one.
But the change to downsizing can be unsettling. Many people believe the process is too challenging and are hesitant to move ahead. If you want to be excited about your move from a large residence to a smaller home, condo or apartment you may need help. A professional interior designer can help you to alleviate your concerns and cross the barrier with new enthusiasm and confidence.
I have worked with many clients who are downsizing for many reasons. Here are just a few of the services that a professional interior designer will provide to you.
+ review of present furnishings
+ analysis of your lifestyle and budget
+ study of the floor plan of your new space to determine fit of current furniture
+ proposal for design of new space
+ accompany you to retail or wholesale suppliers to select new furnishings
+ recommendations for estate sales, movers, remodelers, or other needs

God's majesty in the heavens, The creation of the sea, and the dry land. (1-9) His provision for all creatures. (10-18) The regular course of day and night, and God's sovereign power over all the creatures. (19-30) A resolution to continue praising God. (31-35)
Verses 1-9 Every object we behold calls on us to bless and praise the Lord, who is great. His eternal power and Godhead are clearly shown by the things which he hath made. God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. The Lord Jesus, the Son of his love, is the Light of the world.
Verses 10-18 When we reflect upon the provision made for all creatures, we should also notice the natural worship they render to God. Yet man, forgetful ungrateful man, enjoys the largest measure of his Creator's kindness. the earth, varying in different lands. Nor let us forget spiritual blessings; the fruitfulness of the church through grace, the bread of everlasting life, the cup of salvation, and the oil of gladness. Does God provide for the inferior creatures, and will he not be a refuge to his people?
Verses 19-30 We are to praise and magnify God for the constant succession of day and night. And see how those are like to the wild beasts, who wait for the twilight, and have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. Does God listen to the language of mere nature, even in ravenous creatures, and shall he not much more interpret favourably the language of grace in his own people, though weak and broken groanings which cannot be uttered? There is the work of every day, which is to be done in its day, which man must apply to every morning, and which he must continue in till evening; it will be time enough to rest when the night comes, in which no man can work. The psalmist wonders at the works of God. The works of art, the more closely they are looked upon, the more rough they appear; the works of nature appear more fine and exact. They are all made in wisdom, for they all answer the end they were designed to serve. Every spring is an emblem of the resurrection, when a new world rises, as it were, out of the ruins of the old one. But man alone lives beyond death. When the Lord takes away his breath, his soul enters on another state, and his body will be raised, either to glory or to misery. May the Lord send forth his Spirit, and new-create our souls to holiness.
Verses 31-35 Man's glory is fading; God's glory is everlasting: creatures change, but with the Creator there is no variableness. And if mediation on the glories of creation be so sweet to the soul, what greater glory appears to the enlightened mind, when contemplating the great work of redemption! There alone can a sinner perceive ground of confidence and joy in God. While he with pleasure upholds all, governs all, and rejoices in all his works, let our souls, touched by his grace, meditate on and praise him.
Psalms 104:1-35 . The Psalmist celebrates God's glory in His works of creation and providence, teaching the dependence of all living creatures; and contrasting the happiness of those who praise Him with the awful end of the wicked.
1. God's essential glory, and also that displayed by His mighty works, afford ground for praise.
2. light--is a figurative representation of the glory of the invisible God ( Matthew 17:2 , 1 Timothy 6:16 ). Its use in this connection may refer to the first work of creation ( Genesis 1:3 ).
stretchest out the heavens--the visible heavens or sky which cover the earth as a curtain ( Isaiah 40:12 ).
3. in the waters--or, it may be "with"; using this fluid for the beams, or frames, of His residence accords with the figure of clouds for chariots, and wind as a means of conveyance.
walketh--or, "moveth" (compare Psalms 18:10 Psalms 18:11 , Amos 9:6 ).
4. This is quoted by Paul ( Hebrews 1:7 ) to denote the subordinate position of angels; that is, they are only messengers as other and material agencies.
spirits--literally, "winds."
flaming fire--( Psalms 105:32 ) being here so called.
5. The earth is firmly fixed by His power.
6-9. These verses rather describe the wonders of the flood than the creation ( Genesis 7:19 Genesis 7:20 , 2 Peter 3:5 2 Peter 3:6 ). God's method of arresting the flood and making its waters subside is poetically called a "rebuke" ( Psalms 76:6 , Isaiah 50:2 ), and the process of the flood's subsiding by undulations among the hills and valleys is vividly described.
10-13. Once destructive, these waters are subjected to the service of God's creatures. In rain and dew from His chambers (compare Psalms 104:3 ), and fountains and streams, they give drink to thirsting animals and fertilize the soil. Trees thus nourished supply homes to singing birds, and the earth teems with the productions of God's wise agencies,
14, 15. so that men and beasts are abundantly provided with food.
for the service--literally, "for the culture," &c., by which he secures the results.
oil . . . shine--literally, "makes his face to shine more than oil," that is, so cheers and invigorates him, that outwardly he appears better than if anointed.
strengtheneth . . . heart--gives vigor to man (compare Judges 19:5 ).
16-19. God's care of even wild animals and uncultivated parts of the earth.
20-23. He provides and adapts to man's wants the appointed times and seasons.
24-26. From a view of the earth thus full of God's blessings, the writer passes to the sea, which, in its immensity, and as a scene and means of man's activity in commerce, and the home of countless multitudes of creatures, also displays divine power and beneficence. The mention of
26. leviathan--( Job 40:20 ) heightens the estimate of the sea's greatness, and of His power who gives such a place for sport to one of His creatures.
27-30. The entire dependence of this immense family on God is set forth. With Him, to kill or make alive is equally easy. To hide His face is to withdraw favor ( Psalms 13:1 ). By His spirit, or breath, or mere word, He gives life. It is His constant providence which repairs the wastes of time and disease.
31-34. While God could equally glorify His power in destruction, that He does it in preservation is of His rich goodness and mercy, so that we may well spend our lives in grateful praise, honoring to Him, and delightful to pious hearts ( Psalms 147:1 ).
35. Those who refuse such a protector and withhold such a service mar the beauty of His works, and must perish from His presence.
Praise ye the Lord--The Psalm closes with an invocation of praise, the translation of a Hebrew phrase, which is used as an English word, "Hallelujah," and may have served the purpose of a chorus, as often in our psalmody, or to give fuller expression to the writer's emotions. It is peculiar to Psalms composed after the captivity, as "Selah" is to those of an earlier date.

I agree, thats why I'm still using my good old 688 (plus D* remote combo). Some of the buttons are faded but it still works great. Its mostly used to switch inputs and to control my PS3, Apple TV and AVR.I've been disappointed in Harmony for a couple of years now. They seem to have abandoned their mid-level remotes which are the ones that I like.
The 670/620 is by far my favorite remote and you just can't find them anymore. When you have kids and hardwood floors, remotes don't last very long and I don't want to drop a couple of hundred dollars on a remote.
I was able to find a couple of 676's on Ebay 2 weeks agao for $40 apiece and while I don't like them as much as the 670/620, they'll do for now.
I just have no need for a color screen, touch, rechargeable, etc., but that's all they seem to be making lately (that or their bottom tier that only handle 3-5 components).
Oh, and that touch looks like it only has one set of ff and rew, so you'd have to put the others on the touch screen I guess (for rewind and slip/skip).
Me either, I sent mine back after a week of use.Owned one, not a fan.
Also, I'm not seeing skip buttons on that remote.

Hadiya's folks will humanize gun issue during State of the Union

Updated: March 13, 2013 6:28AM
WASHINGTON — When President Barack Obama turns to gun violence during his State of the Union speech Tuesday, he will likely look up at Michelle Obama's box in the House chamber and acknowledge the grieving Chicago parents of slain teen Hadiya Pendleton.
Pendleton's folks, Cleopatra and Nathaniel, through tragedy, are the latest symbols of why Obama is pushing Congress to take measures to stop gun-related bloodshed.
Hadiya, 15, was gunned down Jan. 29 at Harsh Park about a mile from the Kenwood home of the Obama family, a little more than a week after traveling here for Obama's inauguration.
Other members of the Pendleton family are expected to be on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, attending a Senate Judiciary Subcommitee hearing chaired by Sen. Dick Durbin on how Congress can respect Second Amendment rights to bear arms, while at the same time take steps to curb gun violence.
The hearing will feature a Chicago witness, Sandra Wortham, the sister of slain Chicago Police Officer Thomas Wortham IV, an Iraq War vet shot and killed by a handgun at the age of 30 on May 20, 2010, during a robbery attempt in front of his parents' Chatham home.
Mrs. Obama — whose daughters are 14 and 11 — took a very unusual action for a first lady last Saturday, returning home to the South Side for Hadiya's funeral — someone she did not know but nonetheless felt a deep personal connection toward.
Asking Hadiya's folks to be her State of the Union guests in her box is extraordinary follow-through — but makes perfect sense, because at her core, Mrs. Obama is very, very proud of being a South Sider, albeit one with a remarkable trajectory. Hadiya was killed on Mrs. Obama's turf and she is doing something about it.
Rep. Bobby Rush — whose son, Huey, was shot and killed during a 1999 holdup — was also at Hadiya's funeral and he told me Monday, "I saw the face of the first lady and I saw the pain in her face."
Former President Ronald Reagan started the tradition of inviting everyday citizens or heroes to State of the Union speeches when in 1982 he asked Lenny Skutnik to be his guest in the House gallery after Skutnik rescued a woman from the Potomac River after an Air Florida plane crash.
Presidents, through the guests they invite to the State of the Union, "want to dramatize the human element in the policies they are proposing," Towson University presidential scholar Prof. Martha Joynt Kumar told me.
A major theme of Obama's speech will be boosting the economy, and guests of the president and Mrs. Obama in the gallery will put human faces on his proposals on job creation, immigration, energy and, of course, guns.
Then Obama hits the road to sell his State of the Union plans: Asheville, N.C., on Wednesday, the Atlanta area Thursday and home to Chicago on Friday, where Mayor Rahm Emanuel has been wrestling with the city's soaring murder rate.
Hadiya, as her parents know —and the nation will see on Tuesday night — is not a statistic. She is a teen we should not have lost.
RAHM FOOTNOTE: Emanuel is scheduled to be in Washington on Thursday; among his meetings will be a lunch with Illinois members of Congress in the Capitol.

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a condition that affects the brain and spine. It is a gradual break down of nerve cells from constant swelling.
When left untreated, SSPE almost always leads to death. Contact your doctor right away if you think you or your child may have this condition.
SSPE is caused either by an altered form of the measles virus or an abnormal immune response to measles. It occurs anywhere from 2-10 years after contracting measles.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase the risk of SSPE include:
- Age: 5-15 years old
- Gender: male
- Measles infection in infancy
- Not being vaccinated against measles
- Arabs and Sephardic Jews have an incidence that is six times higher than Ashkenazi Jews.
- Caucasians have a four-fold higher incidence than African Americans in the United States.
Symptoms of SSPE may include:
- Abnormal behavior
- Irritability
- Loss of intellectual abilities
- Memory loss
- Involuntary movements
- Seizures
- Inability to walk
- Speech impairment with poor understanding
- Difficulty swallowing
- Blindness
- Muteness
- Loss of consciousness
Your doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
Images may need to be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
- Electrocardiogram (EKG)
- CT scan
- MRI scan
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan. Treatment options include:
Supportive Therapy
With advanced disease, tube feedings and nursing care may be necessary.
Anticonvulsant medications can reduce some symptoms of SSPE. In addition, there is some evidence that certain medications may help stabilize the disease and/or delay its progression. These may include:
- Inosine pranobex
- Interferon alpha
- Interferon beta
- Ribavirin
The best way to prevent SSPE is to get immunized to avoid contracting measles. The measles vaccine is generally given at 12-15 months of age and again at 4-6 or 11-12 years. If you have not been vaccinated, avoid contact with people who are infected with measles until all of their symptoms are gone.

The maps are currently posted on the MDE website at www.mde.k12.ms.us.
The latest news comes following MDE town hall meetings hosted in January in the towns that will be impacted by the merges — Rosedale, Shaw, Benoit, Mound Bayou and Shelby.
"The boundary lines have been created based on input from five town hall meetings and other public meetings," said Patrice Guilfoyle, director of Communications at MDE.
"The maps will be submitted to the Mississippi Board of Education next week for its consideration during its regularly scheduled board meeting," added Guilfoyle.
Each map is marked with five colored sections, with each color indicating the geographic territory where citizens will vote for a new school board member from their region.
The MDE and the Secretary of State's Office has set a November 2013 tentative date to hold special elections to establish the new boards.
Five school board members would come from the newly formed North Bolivar School District and five would come from the newly formed West Bolivar School District.
"Upon approval, the maps will be submitted to the Department of Justice for review and comments," said Guilfoyle. "The DOJ has 60 days to review."
The Department of Justice will make the final ruling in all official matters.
On May 22, 2012, Gov. Phil Bryant signed S.B. 2760, the legislation requiring school administrative consolidation in any Mississippi county with more than five separate school districts.
Bolivar County includes six school district administrative boards.
S.B. 2760 does not address consolidation of schools.
North Bolivar School district will merge administratively with Mound Bayou School District and West Bolivar School District will merge with Shaw and Benoit School Districts.
The Cleveland School District will remain as it was prior to the passing of the legislation.
The administrative consolidation will become official on July 1, 2014.
According to Interim Deputy Superintendent for the Mississippi Department of Education Mike Kent, who spoke to the Bolivar County Board of Supervisors in November of 2012, the decision making powers for the school districts will be in the hands of the existing boards until official consolidation date.
According to the numbers presented by the MDE, after the consolidation occurs the North Bolivar School District would be comprised of approximately 1,265 students and the West Bolivar School District would have approximately 1,689 students.
Kent explained further that the central office of the new North Bolivar School District would be placed in Mound Bayou and in the West Bolivar School District, it would be placed in Shelby.
However, Kent said, according to Mississippi Code, a school board for a particular school district can vote to move that central office to any location they so choose.

MUHLENBERG COUNTY, Ky. (3/20/14) — Kristen Robertson, a sophomore at the Muhlenberg County Campus of Madisonville Community College, was nominated by college officials for her leadership in the CROSS student organization to represent MCC at the Governor's Prayer Breakfast March 13 held at the state capitol.
The 19-year-old Robertson, who plans to graduate with an Associate of Arts Degree in education from MCC in May before transferring to Western Kentucky University to complete her bachelor's in education program, was excited to be part of this program. "I met students from all parts of Kentucky who had the same desire of keeping faith a part of our society and giving God the glory for all of our accomplishments."
A 2012 Muhlenberg County High School graduate with dual credit earned from MCC, Robertson had a head start in college. "It was special that I was able to take classes with my mother the first year. I am thankful for all the wonderful opportunities that were made available to me."
Robertson's mother completed her degree in May 2013 and was nominated for the student of the year award.
Robertson shared this thought from the Governor's Prayer Breakfast, "What God gives you is a gift, what you do with it is your gift to God!"SurfKY News

We have held our Utah & Oregon Lr Co meeting and declared a 25% dividend and I proposed David as one of the Directors so he is voted in. Henry ranked an increase of salary, so we passed a Motion that his salary be increased to $10000 a month subject to your approval. Things are moving along nicely and business seems good. James is up in Idaho and is going on to Baker City. Now dear Brother I think for the good of the Oregon Lumber Co business I think it would be best thing if I attended so all the correspondence pertaining to the General Office as that will be better than to have 3 or 4 as is the case now. And if you will instruct James and Jay to this effect as they are under the impression that I am working for the Eccles Lbr Co and therefore ignore me as to the Oregon Lbr Co business and I would much prefer you tell them than for me to do so, and I think it will be much better for the business for one to attend to it like it was before. I am getting up a list so we can tell at a moment what we realize for the lumber in boxes of any kind and I am thinking over a plan to get up a list and see what we realize for the lumber shipped from ¬Will. and also of others so that we can see what we realize. Money is coming in fairly good collections are all right Barrett is paying up prompt. O yes we got a list from the Fruit Farmers Association and they will want about 400.000 regular cases and the 100.000 will be mixed while there are only 5000 gallon cases. We have mailed Baker a list and they gave us the privilege of cutting 20.000 asparagus cases and two or three cars of the other kinds. We received the order for 1 Million Shingles from Griffith to day and I have forwarded same to Ingles. Everything looks for a good prosperous year and I hope we will make some money. Now Brother Eccles I hope you will give me the opportunity to buy that 5 shares of Oregon Lumber Co back again and I will promise to do my very best all the time and you will find it out. Now I hope you will come to my assistance this time and you will see it will be duly appreciated by myself and family. Please do not forget to tell them in the office when you come in that I am attending to the Oregon Lbr C business same as before and that I will be held responsible by you and it will make matters much better. Now I hope you will be prosperred in your dealings and things may move to your advantage and your life be preserved to your own satisfaction and for a blessing to your fellowmen I am Your Brother J.

Chinese New Year Recipes
With the Chinese New Year right around the corner I thought that I would take the opportunity to pull out some of my favourites Chinese recipes. Chinese cuisine is filled with tasty dishes, great ingredients and new techniques for cooking and it is definitely worth spending some time on to learn a bit more of.
Some foods are considered lucky to eat for the New Year and they include things like long noodles, spring rolls, lettuce, tangerines, whole fish, whole chicken, sticky rice cakes and more. You could keep to the lucky foods for the Chinese New Year or you could go with your favourite Chinese dishes and here are a few of mine.
My favourite Chinese food has to be Jiaozi or Chinese dumplings
and they are surprisingly easy to make at home whether you make your own wrappers or not.Hot and Sour Soup is another one of my favourites! It has a few uncommon ingredients but it was definitely worth the trip down to Chinatown to find them!
Another great Chinese dish is Char Siu Bao (Chinese BBQ Pork Buns) and the soft and fluffy steamed buns are easy to make at home as well! You can fill the steamed buns with any number of things but my favourite is Char Siu or Chinese BBQ pork).
Speaking of Char Siu (Chinese BBQ Pork), it is a great dish all by it self and they leftovers are always fun to use in other recipes.
Sichuan recipes are among my favourite in Chinese cuisine as I am fond of spicy food like this amazing Mapo Tofu dish that also includes the Sichuan peppercorns that have a slight mouth numbing effect.
Another classic Chinese dish is Kung Pao Chicken though you can make it with other meats and I am rather fond of Kung Pao Shrimp.
Honey and lemon is a simple and yet wonderful flavour combination that is exemplified in this Honey Lemon Chicken recipe that is normally made with cut up pieces of chicken.
Honey Walnut Shrimp is not the most diet friendly dish but it is addictively tasty and good!
Another amazing Chinese soup is this Chicken and Sweet Corn Soup which is just full of flavour!
A recent addition to my Chinese recipe collection is this Egg Foo Young which is a really tasty vegetable omelette that is served on rice and smothered in gravy and it is not to be missed.

PET/CT scan is a type of imaging test that combines positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) techniques. Combined PET/CT scans can be performed on any part of the body.
PET scans use a radioactive tracer that is introduced into your body to measure the cellular activity of the cell type or body part being scanned. A CT scan takes a large number of x-rays. These are analyzed by a computer to create a three-dimensional image of the body part being studied. When both tests are performed at the same time, the information about function and structure is integrated through computer models.
Reasons for Test
Because combined PET/CT scans provide a combination of information about the function and structure of a body part, they are very useful for the early diagnosis of cancer. Not only can the presence of an abnormal tumor be noted, but the function of the cells that make up the tumor can be analyzed as well. This can help to differentiate between cancerous and noncancerous growths. PET/CT can also be used to see if cancer has spread into other areas of the body.
Each of these tests has its own limitations. When combined, they provide very precise information on cancer location and activity. In the past, both of the tests had to be done separately, making the interpretation of results more difficult due to changes in the patient's body position. However, with the availability of scanners that combine both technologies, this is no longer a problem. Many cancer specialists believe that this technology will allow doctors to reduce the number of invasive procedures that patients need to undergo and still be able to provide very accurate monitoring.
Brain, endocrine, and heart disorders are also studied using PET/CT scans.
Possible Complications
Some possible complications with this test include:
- Allergic reactions to the chemicals used
- Kidney damage from the contrast chemical used
- Long term effects from radiation exposure
What to Expect
Prior to Test
Prepare a list of medications you are taking; bring the list with you to the test. If you have diabetes, discuss taking your diabetic medications and/or insulin with your doctor prior to the test. An abnormal blood glucose level may interfere with the tests results.
Let your doctor know if you have kidney disease. The doctor may need to take steps to avoid kidney injury during the test.
To prepare for your test, you may need to do the following several hours in advance:
- Not eat anything after a certain time
- Avoid beverages with high sugar and calorie content
- Drink plenty of water
If you are breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before you go for your test. Your doctor may recommend that you pump breast milk ahead of time and use it until the contrast materials are no longer in your body.
At the test center, the talk to the staff if you have or ever have had:
- A reaction to a contrast materials or iodine
- Allergies to contrast materials, iodine, or seafood
- Asthma
- Claustrophobia or anxiety
Description of Test
- If you are anxious about being in enclosed spaces, you may be given a light sedative to help you relax.
- An intravenous (IV) line will be placed in your arm.
- A small quantity of the tracer substance (used for the PET portion of the scan) will be injected through the IV line. In some cases the tracer substance will be inhaled or swallowed rather than injected.
- You will wait about 60 minutes after this injection.
- You will be positioned on a table.
- Another injection of contrast material (used for the CT portion of the scan) will be given.
- The table will move slowly through a doughnut-shaped ring. You will need to lie quite still for about 35 minutes while the PET/CT images are being taken.
After Test
- You should continue to drink extra water throughout the day after your scan. This helps to flush the tracer materials from your body.
- If you have received any sedation, you will need to have someone drive you home.
- You can expect to be able to resume your normal activities the same day as your test.
How Long Will It Take?
A PET/CT scan takes about a total of two hours to complete. The injection occurs about 60 minutes to an hour prior to the start of the scan. The scan itself takes about 35 minutes.
Will It Hurt?
The placement of the IV line may give you some discomfort, but there should be no other pain involved. You may feel some flushing when the tracer material is injected.
Based on the results, your doctor will decide if any further tests or treatments are needed.
Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of allergic reaction, including flushing, hives, and itching
- Swollen or itchy eyes
- Difficulty breathing or a feeling of tightness in your throat
- Nausea
- Less urine than normal
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

The Lisbon wastewater treatment plant in Linn County has flooded twice in two days, an impact of flash flood waters. All activated sludge from the treatment basins and digester washed away.
The plant is discharging untreated wastewater from the treatment basin to an unnamed stream which flows to Spring Creek, a tributary to the Cedar River.
The DNR will stay appraised of the situation until the plant is back in full operation. The public should stay away from this area and avoid flood waters.
The wastewater plant operator reported disinfection equipment and other mechanicals are in working order. The main issue is the treatment plant may not be fully effective until the natural, biological processes have had time to reactivate.

Fresno State Officially Joins Mountain West
July 1, 2012
By Jason Clay Mountain West Spotlights: UNLV | San Diego State | New Mexico | Boise State | Wyoming | Air Force | Colorado State | Nevada | Hawai'i FRESNO, Calif. - From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. On Sunday, July 1, Fresno State officially became a member of the Mountain West, paving the way for new and enhanced opportunities for both Fresno State Athletics and the University as a whole. Nevada (all sports) and Hawai'i (football only) also join Fresno State Sunday as the newest institutions of the now 10-member conference. "We are very enthusiastic about entering into the Mountain West as both our academic and athletic programs stand to benefit from our new relationships," said Fresno State President John D. Welty. "We look forward to renewing rivalries with several of the schools that we enjoyed previously and now look forward to the next chapter." Progressive in its approach, the MW continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. With a strong history on its side, Fresno State promises to add even more success to the league that sports three NCAA team championships, 32 NCAA individual champions and has had 125 Academic All-America selections. The Bulldogs have had 46 Academic All-Americans and won two team NCAA Championships (softball 1998; baseball 2008) in school history. "We're excited to officially start our association with the schools in the Mountain West," Director of Athletics Thomas Boeh said. "I think the Mountain West from its inception has had exceptional competition and we fully anticipate for that tradition to continue. We expect Fresno State to be one of those teams." Fresno State features all 18 sports that are sponsored by the Mountain West. Only the Bulldog lacrosse (Mountain Pacific Sports Federation) and equestrian (National Collegiate Equestrian Association) programs will not be under the Mountain West umbrella. "We hold great respect for the schools in the conference, have rivalries from the past and are excited to renew competition against those institutions," Boeh said. "The capacity that the Mountain West has to generate revenue as a league is greater and we expect in the future that we will be able to reap the benefits." The Mountain West is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders four MW institutions (Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State and New Mexico). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet - the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert cities of Las Vegas and Reno, home to UNLV and Nevada, while Fresno State and San Diego State add a West coast influence with their locations in Central and Southern California. The inclusion of the Hawai`i football program extends the Mountain West footprint to the beautiful islands in the Pacific Ocean. Fresno State's first-ever Mountain West league game lies on Sept. 20 when the volleyball team plays Boise State at 6 p.m. PT in Boise, Idaho. Quotes from Bulldog coaches on joining the Mountain West... Mike Batesole, Head Baseball Coach Tim DeRuyter, Head Football Coach Trisha Ford, Head Softball Coach Lauren Netherby-Sewell, Head Volleyball Coach Raegan Pebley, Head Women's Basketball Coach Rodney Terry, Head Men's Basketball Coach "Discover Fresno State Football" - The Bulldogs are looking to pack Bulldog Stadium Sept. 1 in their home opener against Weber State. Tickets are moving fast, join the excitement of the Red Wave now by calling 559-278-DOGS!

About the work
No wonder that opera lovers in London were so eager to hear Handel's new opera – the hero was Julius Caesar, a historical figure who played a major role in England's history, and he and Cleopatra were popular figures in Shakespeare's play. Giulio Cesare in Egitto is about the confrontation between two cultures, the Roman and Egyptian, the rivalry within both realms and the delightful constellation that political and erotic considerations can go hand in hand between two people. Nicola Haym expanded the plot about Caesar, Cleopatra and Ptolemy to include Pompey's widow Cornelia and her son Sextus, who suddenly finds himself expected to avenge his father's death. Every hero and villain has his weaknesses, and even those who believe they are invincible come a cropper. Love intended to be awoken in somebody as a ploy often awakes, unexpectedly, in the person seeking to manipulate. The libretto inspired Handel to perhaps his most magnificent score, which includes an aria accompanied by solo horn and another that calls for an orchestra on stage when Cleopatra, disguised as the incarnation of virtue, tries to seduce Caesar. Giulio Cesare in Egitto (1st new production for more than 34 years) is directed by Johannes Erath.

Federal inspectors have begun checking cantaloupe packing operations, with the first inspection at an unnamed facility in Florida.
Michelle Danyluk, food safety researcher and assistant professor at the University of Florida, discussed the inspection May 9 during a Web seminar sponsored by the Eastern Cantaloupe Growers Association and the Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association.
She said the owner was notified May 3 and the inspectors were at the facility on May 6 and 8.
The inspections are in response to the deadly multistate outbreaks linked to cantaloupe in 2011 and 2012, according to a letter posted Feb. 25 by the Food and Drug Administration. Presenters for the seminar said they believe the agency will only be testing for listeria.
FDA officials said May 9 they could not identify what facilities had been inspected. They plan about 50 packinghouse visits this year.
"State officials will be notified in advance of the inspections and will be invited to join," said FDA spokeswoman Catherine McDermott. "Environmental sampling will be done during the course of the inspection visits, but the number of swabs is determined by factors such as the type and size of the operation."
McDermott said FDA investigators will complete a questionnaire based on observations and discussions with the responsible parties at the facility, but a copy of the questionaire "is not publically available at this time."
The agency will collect cantaloupes from each operation for testing, McDermott said.
Danyluk and Beth Bland Oleson of the Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association said test results would likely take at least two weeks.
"Some of our members have reported that retailers have said not to ship them any fruit packed while FDA was present and collecting samples until they get an all clear," Oleson said.
Danyluk recommended packinghouses consider holding fruit regardless of customer demands to avoid possible recalls in the event of positive test results. She also recommended packers reduce the amount of fruit they run while FDA inspectors are present.
"You might want to consider running only half of what you would normally pack," she said.
Danyluk also suggested packers reduce volumes of fruit stored in coolers prior to an FDA visit.
Georgia officials expect three to eight inspections, Oleson said. Danyluk said she was told North Carolina officials are expecting three inspections.
Danyluk gave numerous tips on what FDA inspectors will likely do based on a round of inspections at tomato facilities in 2007.
Danyluk's advice is to clean and sanitize all packinghouse areas. She said inspectors would probably swab hard-to-clean spots on equipment that would be easy to reach with a cotton swab but difficult to keep clean.
Both Danyluk and Oleson stressed the importance of having written procedures for cleaning and sanitizing. They also said it is important to document cleaning and sanitizing as separate activities, as well as recording when the action was taken.
"Last year Burch Farms could not show a clean break between different lots (they packed) and that caused them problems," said Danyluk, referring to a listeria-related recall that ended with a North Carolina grower recalling all cantaloupe and honeydew melons last year.
